NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2010, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated annual financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Note 2 — Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718. The Company accounts for all stock-based compensation using a fair-value method and recognizes the fair value of each award as an expense over the service period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value compensation expense. Forfeitures are estimated at the date of grant based on historical employee turnover rates and reduce the compensation expense recognized. Depending upon the option grant, the expected option term is based upon historical industry data on employee exercises and management’s expectation of exercise behavior, or is estimated based on the simplified method as prescribed in ASC 718. For options granted concurrently with the Company’s initial public offering of common stock, the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price was based upon the historical volatility of similar entities whose share prices were publicly available. For options granted subsequent to the Company’s offering, expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free interest rate is based upon the current yield on U.S. Treasury securities having a term similar to the expected option term. Dividend yield is estimated at zero because the Company does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. The fair value of employee stock-based awards is amortized using the straight-line method over the vesting period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized approximately $1.1 million, or $693,000 net of tax, and $672,000, or $444,000 net of tax, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense, which includes the impact of all stock-based awards and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Stock Compensation Plans — In June 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders approved the 2005 Incentive Award Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), as amended and restated in February 2007, and re-approved by the stockholders in May 2009. A total of 2,300,000 shares of common stock were initially authorized and reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan for incentives such as stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance shares and deferred stock awards. The actual number of awards reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan automatically increases on the first trading day in January of each calendar year by an amount equal to 2% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on the last trading day in December of the preceding calendar year, but in no event will any such annual increase exceed 750,000 shares. As of June 30, 2010, there were 3,398,629 shares available for issuance pursuant to new stock option grants or other equity awards. Under the Incentive Plan, stock options have been granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the time of grant. The vesting period for stock options is determined by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, as applicable, and the stock options generally expire ten years from the date of grant or 90 days after employment or services are terminated.

Stock Option Awards — In June 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the grant of 586,526 options to purchase the Company’s common stock. The Company granted these options under the Incentive Plan at the effective date of the Company’s initial public offering at an exercise price of $19.00, which was equal to the initial public offering price of the Company’s common stock. The stock options have vesting terms whereby 10,526 options vested immediately, 210,000 options vested on December 15, 2005 and the remaining 366,000 options vest 20% per annum over 5 years. The fair value of these awards was calculated through the use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model assuming an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock and the following additional significant weighted average assumptions: expected life of 4.2 years; volatility of 47.5%; risk-free interest rate of 3.73%; and no dividends during the expected term.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)—(Continued)

 

In May 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the grant of 2,000 options to purchase the Company’s common stock to each independent member of the Company’s Board of Directors (10,000 options in total). The Company granted these options at the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The stock options vested one year from the date of grant. The fair value of these awards was calculated through the use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model assuming an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock and the following additional significant weighted average assumptions: expected life of 2.0 years; volatility of 55.7%; risk-free interest rate of 4.68%; and no dividends during the expected term.

In May 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the grant of 2,000 options to purchase the Company’s common stock to each independent member of the Company’s Board of Directors (10,000 options in total). The Company granted these options at the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The stock options vested one year from the date of grant. The fair value of these awards was calculated through the use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model assuming an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock and the following additional significant weighted average assumptions: expected life of 2.0 years; volatility of 61.9%; risk-free interest rate of 2.38%; and no dividends during the expected term.

In May 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the grant of 670,000 options to purchase the Company’s common stock. The Company granted these options at the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The stock option vesting periods range from one to five years from the date of grant. The fair value of these awards was calculated through the use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model assuming an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock and the following additional significant weighted average assumptions: expected life ranging from 1.0 to 6.5 years; volatility ranging from 69.7% to 90.7%; risk-free interest rate ranging from 0.53% to 3.22%; and no dividends during the expected term.

In May 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the grant of 2,000 options to purchase the Company’s common stock to each non-employee member of the Company’s Board of Directors (12,000 options in total). The Company granted these options at the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The stock options vest one year from the date of grant. The fair value of these awards was calculated through the use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model assuming an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock and the following additional significant weighted average assumptions: expected life of 5.5 years; volatility of 65.2%; risk-free interest rate of 2.38%; and no dividends during the expected term.

Note 3 — New Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, which amends the guidance in ASC 605. ASU No. 2009-13 eliminates the residual method of accounting for revenue on undelivered products and instead, requires companies to allocate revenue to each of the deliverable products based on their relative selling price. In addition, this ASU expands the disclosure requirements surrounding multiple-deliverable arrangements. ASU No. 2009-13 will be effective for revenue arrangements entered into for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2009-13 will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-17, Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force , which amends the guidance in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition . ASU No. 2010-17 provides guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it is appropriate to utilize the milestone method of revenue recognition in research and development arrangements. In addition, this ASU requires new disclosures for companies that have research and development arrangements that are accounted for using the milestone method. ASU No. 2010-17 will be effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved during interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and early adoption is permitted. The Company’s adoption of ASU No. 2010-17 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

with no residual values. Fluctuations in the gross carrying amounts of intangible assets associated with the Company’s international subsidiaries are due to the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Intangible amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, was approximately $275,000 and $804,000, respectively. The Company’s annual amortization expense is estimated to be approximately $543,000, $446,000, $393,000, $342,000 and $287,000 in the fiscal years ending December 31, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation — The Company is involved from time to time in litigation incidental to its business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of any such matter currently pending will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Indemnities and Guarantees — During its normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These include (i) intellectual property indemnities to the Company’s customers and licensees in connection with the use, sale and license of Company products, (ii) indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease, (iii) indemnities to vendors and service providers pertaining to claims based on the negligence or willful misconduct of the Company and (iv) indemnities involving the accuracy of representations and warranties in certain contracts. The duration of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies, and in certain cases, may be indefinite. The majority of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees do not provide for any limitation on the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. The Company has not been required to record nor has it recorded any liability for these indemnities, commitments and guarantees in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 9 — Earnings Per Share

Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net income per common share reflects the effects of potentially dilutive securities, which consists solely of restricted stock and stock options using the treasury stock method. A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share is as follows:

For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, 578,180 and 1,107,558 stock options, respectively, were excluded from the weighted-average number of shares outstanding because their effect would be antidilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, 578,180 and 1,107,558 stock options, respectively, were excluded from the weighted-average number of shares outstanding because their effect would be antidilutive.

Note 10 — Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured and reported on a fair value basis in accordance with ASC 820. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. It also establishes a three-level hierarchy of fair value measurements for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. ASC 820 requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

   

Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical instruments

 

   

Level 2 – Quoted market prices in active markets for similar instruments; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets; and

 

   

Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and foreign currency exchange contracts. The Company believes the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short term maturities. The fair value of the Company’s short-term investments is determined based on quoted market prices in active markets. The fair value of the Company’s foreign currency exchange contracts is determined based on observable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

The following table presents information on the Company’s financial instruments (in thousands):

Note 11 — Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relating to certain sales, licensing revenues, and product purchases of its international subsidiaries that are denominated in currencies other than their functional currencies. The Company is also exposed to foreign currency gains and losses resulting from domestic transactions that are not denominated in U.S. dollars. Furthermore, the Company is exposed to gains and losses resulting from the effect that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have on the reported results in the Company’s consolidated financial statements due to the translation of the operating results and financial position of the Company’s international subsidiaries.

As part of its overall strategy to manage the level of exposure to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge a portion of its European operations U.S. dollar denominated inventory purchases. All of the Company’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts qualified for hedge accounting and the changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded in other comprehensive income. As of June 30, 2010, the Company was hedging forecasted transactions expected to occur through September 2011. Assuming exchange rates at June 30, 2010 remain constant, $415,000 of gains, net of tax, related to hedges of these transactions are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next 15 months.

On the date the Company enters into a derivative contract, the Company designates the derivatives as a hedge of the identified exposure. The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and strategy for entering into various hedge transactions. The Company identifies in this documentation the asset, liability, firm commitment, or forecasted transaction that has been designated as a hedged item and indicates how the hedging instrument is expected to hedge the risks related to the hedged item. The Company formally measures effectiveness of its hedging relationships both at the hedge inception and on an ongoing basis in accordance with the Company’s risk management policy. The Company will discontinue hedge accounting prospectively:

 

   

if the Company determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of a hedged item;

 

11


Table of Contents

VOLCOM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)—(Continued)

 

   

when the derivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised;

 

   

if it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction being hedged by the derivative will not occur;

 

   

if a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment; or

 

   

if the Company determines that designation of the derivative as a hedge instrument is no longer appropriate.

The Company has entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts with a bank and is exposed to foreign currency losses in the event of nonperformance by this bank. The Company anticipates, however, that this bank will be able to fully satisfy its obligations under the contracts. Accordingly, the Company does not obtain collateral or other security to support the contracts.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had U.S. dollar denominated forward foreign currency contracts outstanding to hedge a portion of its European operations U.S. dollar denominated inventory purchases with a notional amount of $9.4 million and a fair value of $461,000, which mature from August 2010 through September 2011. All outstanding contracts were in a gain position and the $461,000 asset is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The following table summarizes the effective portions of gains (losses) of foreign exchange derivative instruments in the condensed consolidated statement of operations:

Note 12 — Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates exclusively in the consumer products industry in which the Company designs, produces and distributes clothing, accessories, eyewear and related products. Based on the nature of the financial information that is received by the chief operating decision maker and the Company’s internal reporting structure, the Company operates in three operating and reportable segments, the United States, Europe and Electric. The United States segment primarily includes Volcom product revenues generated from customers in the United States, Canada, Asia Pacific, Central America and South America that are served by the Company’s United States and Japanese operations, as well as licensing revenues and revenues generated from Company-owned domestic retail stores, including Laguna Surf & Sport. The European segment primarily includes Volcom product revenues generated from customers in Europe that are served by the Company’s European operations. The Electric segment includes Electric product revenues generated from customers worldwide, primarily in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia Pacific. All intercompany revenues, expenses, payables and receivables are eliminated in consolidation and are not reviewed when evaluating segment performance. Each segment’s performance is evaluated based on revenues, gross profit and operating income. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Effective August 1, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of Volcom Australia, a licensee of the Company’s products located in Australia. The Company will include the operations of Volcom Australia in its financial results beginning on August 1, 2010.

We are an innovative designer, marketer and distributor of premium quality young mens and young womens clothing, footwear, accessories and related products under the Volcom brand name. We seek to offer products that appeal to participants in skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing and motocross, and those who affiliate themselves with the broader action sports youth lifestyle. Our products, which include, among others, t-shirts, fleece, bottoms, tops, jackets, boardshorts, denim, outerwear, sandals, girls swimwear and a complete collection of kids and boys clothing, combine fashion, functionality and athletic performance. Our designs are infused with an artistic and creative element that we believe differentiates our products from those of many of our competitors. We develop and introduce products that we believe set the industry standard for style and quality in each of our product categories.

In 2008, we acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of Electric Visual Evolution LLC, or Electric. Known for its Volt logo, Electric is a core action sports lifestyle brand. Electric’s growing product line includes sunglasses, goggles, t-shirts, bags, hats, belts and other accessories. Electric is headquartered in Orange County, California. In 2008, we also acquired the assets of Laguna Surf & Sport, a California-based retail chain currently operating two retail stores.

As part of our strategy to take direct control of our European operations, we constructed a new European headquarters in Anglet, France, which was completed in February 2007, and delivered our first full season product line during the third quarter of 2007. We furthered our international expansion in 2008 by completing the acquisition of our distributor of Volcom branded products in Japan. In 2009, we took direct control of the Volcom brand in the United Kingdom.

Volcom branded products are currently sold throughout the United States and in over 40 countries internationally by either us or international licensees. We serve the United States, Europe, Canada, Latin America, Asia Pacific and Puerto Rico through our in-house sales personnel, independent sales representatives and distributors. In these areas, Volcom branded products are sold to retailers that we believe merchandise our products in an environment that supports and reinforces our brand image and provide a superior in-store experience. Our retail customers are primarily specialty boardsports retailers, several retail chains and select department stores.

In Australia (through August 1, 2010), Indonesia, South Africa, Brazil and Argentina (including Paraguay and Uruguay), we license the Volcom brand to entities that we believe have local market insight and strong relationships with retailers in their respective territories. We receive royalties on the sales of Volcom branded products sold by our licensees. Our license agreements specify quality, design, marketing and distributing standards for the Volcom branded products distributed by our licensees. Our licensees are not controlled and operated by us, and the amount of our licensing revenues could decrease in the future. As these license agreements expire, we may assume direct responsibility for serving these licensed territories. Effective August 1, 2010, we completed the acquisition of Volcom Australia, a licensee of our products located in Australia. We expect to experience a decrease in our licensing revenues effective as of the date of the acquisition, and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the operations of Volcom Australia. However, we anticipate our product revenues will increase in Australia as we begin to directly sell our products in this territory.

The global macroeconomic environment has put pressure on discretionary consumer spending worldwide. While we believe that Volcom is well positioned from a business and financial perspective, we are not immune to global economic conditions. Continued economic uncertainty may affect our business in a number of direct and indirect ways, including lower revenues, reduced profit margins and increased costs, changes in interest and currency exchange rates, lack of credit availability and business disruptions due to difficulties experienced by suppliers and customers.

Our revenues increased from $160.0 million in 2005 to $280.6 million in 2009. Our revenues were $140.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $17.5 million, or 14.2%, compared to $122.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. We believe our overall increase in revenues was driven primarily by strong sell-through of Volcom and Electric products at retail, and solid in-season business.

Sales to Pacific Sunwear, our largest customer, decreased 6.2%, or $1.1 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. We currently expect revenues from Pacific Sunwear to stay approximately flat in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009. It is unclear where our sales to Pacific Sunwear will trend in the longer term. Pacific Sunwear remains an important customer for us and we are working both internally and with Pacific Sunwear to maximize our business with them. We believe our brand continues to be an important part of the Pacific Sunwear business.

Our gross margins are affected by our ability to accurately forecast demand and avoid excess inventory by matching purchases of finished goods to orders, which decreases our percentage of sales at discount or close-out prices. Gross margins are also impacted by our ability to control our sourcing costs and, to a lesser extent, by changes in our product mix and geographic distribution channel. Our gross margins have also historically been seasonal, with the first quarter having the highest margin. If we misjudge forecasting inventory levels or our sourcing costs increase and we are unable to raise our prices, our gross margins may decline.

We currently source the majority of our products from third-party manufacturers located primarily in China and Mexico. As a result, we may be adversely affected by the disruption of trade with these countries, the imposition of new regulations related to imports, duties, taxes and other charges on imports, and decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies. We seek to mitigate the possible disruption in product flow by diversifying our manufacturing across numerous manufacturers and by using manufacturers in countries that we believe to be politically stable. We do not enter into long-term contracts with our third-party manufacturers. Rather, we typically enter into contracts with each manufacturer to produce one or more product lines for a particular selling season. This strategy has enabled us to maintain flexibility in our sourcing.

Our products manufactured abroad are subject to U.S. customs laws, which impose tariffs as well as import quota restrictions for textiles and apparel. Quota represents the right, pursuant to bilateral or other international trade arrangements, to export amounts of certain categories of merchandise into a country or territory pursuant to a visa or license. Additionally, China offers a rebate tax on exports to control the amount of exports from China, which can affect our cost either positively or negatively. These potential cost increases, along with the rising currency, raw material cost increases and labor shortages in China, may have an impact on our business. Beginning in 2010, there have been widespread labor shortages in China, which have adversely impacted our product costs and deliveries. Additionally, wages and raw material costs have increased in China, which has caused price increases. We have addressed these issues by sourcing with other suppliers and adjusting our wholesale prices, where possible, to offset these increases. While we do not believe the limitations on imports from China will have a material effect on our operations, we have begun sourcing more in other countries, such as India, Bangladesh, Vietnam and Mexico. There will be increased pressure on costs going forward, and we intend to closely monitor our sourcing in China to avoid disruptions.

With the passage of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 and similar state laws, such as California’s Proposition 65, there are new requirements mandated for the textiles and apparel industries. These requirements relate to all metal and painted trim items and certain other raw materials used in children’s apparel, as well as flammability standards in certain types of textiles. The Consumer Product Safety Commission, or CPSC, will require certification and testing for lead in paint and metal trims, pointed or sharp edge items, Phthalates, and fabric flammability to meet the CPSC’s limits. We will continue to monitor the situation and intend to abide by all rules and changes made by the CPSC and similar state laws. This could have a negative impact on the cost of our goods and poses a potential risk if we do not adhere to these requirements.

Over the past five years, our selling, general and administrative expenses have increased on an absolute dollar basis as we have increased our spending on marketing, advertising and promotions, strengthened our management team, hired additional personnel and made investments in new territories and initiatives. As a percentage of revenues, our selling, general and administrative expenses have increased from 26.8% in 2005 to 39.5% in 2009. This increase was primarily due to additional expenses in the United States segment associated with growth and brand building initiatives, including costs associated with our transition to a new warehouse facility in Irvine, California. In addition, we have made investments in our acquired distributors in Japan and the UK, which has increased our selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue. Our selling, general and administrative expenses have increased on an absolute dollar basis from $53.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to $60.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This increase in absolute dollars was due primarily to increased marketing and personnel costs. Our selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues have decreased from 44.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to 43.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was due primarily to the leveraging of certain fixed costs over a higher revenue base in 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on our historical experience and on various other factors which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the amounts of certain expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The accounting policies that involve the most significant judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements are those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill and intangible assets, long-lived assets, income taxes, foreign currency and derivatives, and stock-based compensation. The judgments, assumptions and estimates used in these areas by their nature involve risks and uncertainties, and in the event that any of them prove to be inaccurate in any material respect, it could have a material adverse effect on our reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. A summary of these critical accounting policies is included in Item 7 (Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) of Part II, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

General

Our revenues consist of both our product revenues and our licensing revenues. Our product revenues are derived primarily from the sale of young mens and young womens clothing, accessories and related products under the Volcom brand name. We offer Volcom branded apparel and accessory products in six main categories: mens, girls, boys, footwear, girls swim and snow. Product revenues also include revenues from music and film sales. We also offer the full product line under the Electric brand name, including sunglasses, goggles, soft goods and other accessories. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are included in product revenues. Licensing revenues consist of royalties on Volcom product sales by our international licensees in Australia (through August 2010), Indonesia, South Africa, Brazil and Argentina (including Uruguay and Paraguay).

Our cost of goods sold consists primarily of product costs, retail packaging, freight costs associated with shipping goods to customers, quality control and inventory shrinkage. There is no cost of goods sold associated with our licensing revenues.

Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of wages and related payroll and employee benefit costs, handling costs, sales and marketing expenses, advertising costs, legal and accounting professional fees, insurance, utilities and other facility related costs, such as rent and depreciation.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2009

Revenues

Consolidated revenues were $62.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $8.3 million, or 15.4%, compared to $54.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Revenues from our United States segment were $50.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $7.2 million, or 16.5% compared to $43.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Revenues from our Europe segment were $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 13.0% compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. On a Euro to Euro basis, revenues in our European segment decreased approximately 9.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. Revenues from our Electric segment were $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $1.9 million, or 40.5% compared to $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. We believe our overall increase in revenues was driven primarily by strong sell-through of Volcom and Electric products at retail, and solid in-season reorder business in the United States and Electric segments..

Revenues from our five largest customers were $15.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 2.1%, compared to $15.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Excluding revenues from Pacific Sunwear, which decreased $0.2 million, or 2.3%, to $8.8 million, total revenues from our remaining five largest customers decreased $0.1 million, or 1.7%, to $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. We currently expect revenues from Pacific Sunwear to stay approximately flat in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009.

Consolidated product revenues were $62.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $8.3 million, or 15.5%, compared to $53.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Revenues from mens products increased $8.6 million, or 30.7%, to $36.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $27.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Revenues from our Electric subsidiary increased $1.9 million, or 40.5%, to $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Revenues from boys products increased $0.9 million, or 19.5%, to $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Revenues from our girls swim line increased $0.4 million, or 33.3%, to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Revenues from footwear products increased $0.1 million, or 11.2%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Revenues from girls products decreased $3.1 million, or 22.8%, to $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $13.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Revenues from snow products decreased $0.4 million, or 96.2%, to $16,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Licensing revenues decreased 4.0% to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Product revenues by geographic region include revenues from our Electric operating segment, and are allocated based on customer location. Such product revenues in the United States were $40.4 million, or 65.0% of our product revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $33.7 million, or 62.6% of our product revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Product revenues in Europe were $5.9 million, or 9.4% of our product revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $6.6 million, or 12.3% of our product revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Product revenues in the rest of the world consist primarily of product revenues from sales in the Canadian and Asia Pacific regions, and do not include sales by our international licensees. Such product revenues in the rest of the world were $15.8 million, or 25.6% of our product revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $13.5 million, or 25.1% of our product revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Gross Profit

Consolidated gross profit increased $3.4 million, or 13.2%, to $29.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $26.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues, or gross margin, decreased 90 basis points to 47.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 48.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Consolidated gross margin related specifically to product revenues decreased 80 basis points to 47.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 48.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Gross margin on product from the U.S. segment decreased 160 basis points to 46.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 48.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This decrease is primarily due to incentive pricing, which was part of our strategy designed to gain market share during the Spring and Summer sell-in periods. Also, to a lesser extent, as we are carrying more inventory in an effort to capture additional in-season re-orders, our low margin liquidation sales were higher during the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period last year. Gross margin from the European segment increased 130 basis points to 46.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 44.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2009, primarily reflecting a greater percentage of sales directly to retailers and a lesser percentage of sales to territory distributors during the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period last year. Gross margin from the Electric segment increased 110 basis points to 53.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 52.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to sales of sunglasses that were purchased at a more favorable Euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate than last year.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.9 million, or 15.1%, to $29.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $25.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in absolute dollars was due primarily to increased payroll and payroll related costs of $2.1 million, increased marketing and advertising costs of $1.4 million, and increased commissions expense of $0.3 million associated with an increase in revenues between periods. These increases were offset by a decrease in bad debt expense of $1.2 million. The net increase in various other expense categories was $1.3 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased 10 basis points to 47.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 47.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was due primarily to the leveraging of certain fixed costs over a higher revenue base in 2010.

Operating Income

As a result of the factors above, operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 decreased $0.4 million to $0.1 million compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Operating income as a percentage of revenue decreased to 0.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from 0.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Other Income

Other income primarily includes net interest income and foreign currency gains and losses. Interest income for each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $0.1 million. Foreign currency gain (loss) decreased to a $0.1 million loss for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to a $0.7 million gain for the three months ended June 30, 2009 due primarily to fluctuations in the Euro, Canadian dollar and Japanese yen exchange rates against the U.S. dollar.

Provision for Income Taxes

We have computed our provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2010 using an estimated effective annual tax rate of 32.0% plus the tax impact of discrete items in the quarter. The provision for income taxes decreased $0.3 million to $31,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Net Income

As a result of the factors above, net income decreased $0.8 million, or 92.2%, to $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2009

Revenues

Consolidated revenues were $140.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $17.5 million, or 14.2%, compared to $122.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Revenues from our United States segment were $99.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $13.0 million, or 15.1% compared to $86.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Revenues from our Europe segment were $28.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $1.1 million, or 4.3% compared to $27.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. On a Euro to Euro basis, revenues in our European segment increased approximately 2.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. Revenues from our Electric segment were $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $3.3 million, or 37.0% compared to $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. We believe our overall increase in revenues was driven primarily by strong sell-through of Volcom and Electric products at retail, and solid in-season reorder business.

Revenues from our five largest customers were $28.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 4.6%, compared to $29.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Excluding revenues from Pacific Sunwear, which decreased $1.1 million, or 6.2%, to $16.3 million, total revenues from our remaining five largest customers decreased $0.3 million, or 2.2%, to $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. We currently expect revenues from Pacific Sunwear to stay approximately flat in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009.

Gross margin from the European segment increased 550 basis points to 57.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 52.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to strong demand for product combined with a greater percentage of sales directly to retailers and a lesser percentage of sales to territory distributors during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period last year. Gross margin from the Electric segment increased 410 basis points to 57.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 53.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to better margins achieved on off-price sales, and sales of sunglasses that were purchased at a more favorable Euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate than last year.

The increase in absolute dollars was due primarily to increased payroll and payroll related costs of $3.9 million, increased marketing and advertising costs of $2.7 million, increased commissions expense of $0.7 million associated with an increase in revenues between periods, increased stock-based compensation expense of $0.4 million, increased rent expense of $0.4 million, and expenses of $0.3 million associated with the upcoming launch of our direct to consumer ecommerce platform. These increases were offset by a decrease in bad debt expense of $2.5 million. The net increase in various other expense categories was $1.0 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased 60 basis points to 43.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 44.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was due primarily to the leveraging of certain fixed costs over a higher revenue base in 2010.

Operating Income

As a result of the factors above, operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased $4.2 million to $11.1 million compared to $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Operating income as a percentage of revenue increased to 7.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from 5.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Other Income

Other income primarily includes net interest income and foreign currency gains and losses. Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The increase in interest income is due to higher returns on our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Foreign currency gain (loss) decreased to a $0.1 million loss for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to a $0.8 million gain for the six months ended June 30, 2009 due primarily to fluctuations in the Euro, Canadian dollar and Japanese yen exchange rates against the U.S. dollar.

Provision for Income Taxes

We have computed our provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2010 using an estimated effective annual tax rate of 32.0% plus the tax impact of discrete items in the quarter. The provision for income taxes increased $1.0 million to $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Net Income

As a result of the factors above, net income increased $2.5 million, or 49.3%, to $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary cash needs are working capital and capital expenditures. These sources of liquidity may be impacted by fluctuations in demand for our products, ongoing investments in our infrastructure and expenditures on marketing and advertising.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, our beginning balance of cash and cash equivalents, net cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities and our ending balance of cash and cash equivalents:

Cash from operating activities consists primarily of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items including depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, provision for doubtful accounts, excess tax benefits related to the exercise of stock options, loss on disposal of property and equipment, stock-based compensation and the effect of changes in working capital and other activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, cash from operating activities was $4.4 million and $16.3 million, respectively. The $11.9 million decrease in cash from operating activities between the periods was attributable to the following:

Cash provided by investing activities was $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to cash used in investing activities of $47.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to the net sale of short-term investments of $10.0 million, offset by purchases of property and equipment of $3.2 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the purchase of short-term investments of $44.9 million and $0.8 million spent on taking direct control of the UK territory from our UK distributor. Capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 included the ongoing purchase of investments in computer equipment, warehouse equipment, marketing initiatives and in-store buildouts at customer retail locations.

Cash provided by financing activities was $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to cash used in financing activities of $37,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Cash from financing activities is primarily due to proceeds and excess tax benefits related to the exercise of stock options, offset by principal payments on capital lease obligations.

We currently have no material cash commitments, except for our normal recurring trade payables, expense accruals, operating leases, capital leases and athlete endorsement agreements. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, cash flow from operating activities and available borrowings under our credit facility will be sufficient to meet all requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Credit Facilities

We maintain a $40.0 million unsecured credit agreement with a bank (which includes a line of credit, foreign exchange facility and letter of credit sub-facilities). The amended credit agreement, which expires on August 31, 2010, may be used to fund our working capital requirements. Borrowings under this agreement bear interest, at our option, either at the bank’s prime rate (3.25% at June 30, 2010) or LIBOR plus 1.25%. Under this credit facility, we had $0.9 million outstanding in letters of credit at June 30, 2010. At June 30, 2010, there were no outstanding borrowings under this credit facility, and $39.1 million was available under the credit facility. The credit agreement requires compliance with conditions precedent that must be satisfied prior to any borrowing, as well as ongoing compliance with specified affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants related to our financial condition, including requirements that we maintain a minimum net profit after tax and a minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA. At June 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all restrictive covenants. We expect to extend the credit agreement prior to the date of its expiration on August 31, 2010.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

We lease certain land and buildings under non-cancelable operating leases. The leases expire at various dates through 2036, excluding extensions at our option, and contain provisions for rental adjustments, including in certain cases, adjustments based on increases in the Consumer Price Index. The leases generally contain renewal provisions for varying periods of time.

In June 2008, we entered into a lease agreement for a new warehouse facility located in close proximity to our existing European headquarters in France. The lease runs for a period of nine years, with an option to terminate after six years.

We lease computer and office equipment pursuant to capital lease obligations. These leases bear interest at rates ranging from 2.9% to 10.7% per year and expire at various dates through October 2010.

We establish relationships with professional athletes in order to promote our products and brand. We have entered into endorsement agreements with professional skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing and motocross athletes. Additionally, many of these contracts provide incentives for magazine exposure and competitive victories while wearing or using our products.

Table of Contents

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or outstanding balances on our credit facility as of June 30, 2010. Our contractual letters of credit typically have maturity dates of less than one year. We use these letters of credit to purchase finished goods.

In connection with the 2008 acquisition of Electric, the sellers are eligible to receive $12.0 million in cash upon achieving certain financial milestones through December 31, 2010. Based on the financial performance of Electric, it is not considered probable that these financial milestones will be met.

Inflation

We do not believe inflation has had a material impact on our results of operations in the past. There can be no assurance that our business will not be affected by inflation in the future.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Foreign Currency Risk

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risks (see Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) that could impact our results of operations. We are exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relating to certain sales, licensing revenues and product purchases of our international subsidiaries that are denominated in currencies other than their functional currencies. We are also exposed to foreign currency gains and losses resulting from domestic transactions that are not denominated in U.S. dollars. Furthermore, we are exposed to gains and losses resulting from the effect that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have on the reported results in our consolidated financial statements due to the translation of the operating results and financial position of our international subsidiaries. Changes in foreign currency rates affect our results of operations and distort comparisons between periods. For example, when the U.S. dollar strengthens compared to the Euro, there is a negative effect on our reported results from our European operation because it takes more profits in Euro to generate the same amount of profits in stronger U.S. dollars. We do not enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge the translation of operating results and financial position of our international subsidiaries.

A portion of our domestic sales are made in Canadian dollars. Sales in Canada accounted for approximately 10.7% of our product revenues in 2009 and approximately 11.8% of our product revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010. As a result, we are exposed to fluctuations in the value of Canadian dollar denominated receivables and payables, foreign currency investments, primarily consisting of Canadian dollar deposits, and cash flows related to repatriation of those investments. A weakening of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar could negatively impact the profitability of our products sold in Canada and the value of our Canadian receivables, as well as the value of repatriated funds we may bring back to the United States from Canada. Account balances denominated in Canadian dollars are marked-to-market every period using current exchange rates and the resulting changes in the account balance are included in our income statement as other income. If recent foreign currency market volatility continues and the Canadian dollar weakens, our results could be adversely affected. Based on the balance of Canadian dollar receivables of $7.7 million at June 30, 2010, an assumed 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar would result in pretax foreign currency losses of $0.7 million.

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risks between the Euro and the U.S. dollar, as a portion of our European operations purchases inventory in U.S. dollars. This exposure is partially offset as a portion of our domestic Electric operations purchases inventory in Euros. In addition, we are also exposed to foreign currency gains and losses resulting from various other European operations transactions that are denominated in U.S. dollars. A weakening of the Euro relative to the U.S. dollar could have a negative impact on our net exposure of the Euro to the U.S. dollar. If recent foreign currency market volatility continues and the Euro weakens compared to the U.S. dollar, our results could be adversely affected. Based on our net Euro exposure of approximately $4.6 million at June 30, 2010, an assumed 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar would result in pre-tax foreign currency losses of $0.6 million.

We generally purchase Volcom branded finished goods from our manufacturers in U.S. dollars. However, we source substantially all of these finished goods abroad and their cost may be affected by changes in the value of the relevant currencies. Price increases caused by currency exchange rate fluctuations could increase our costs. If we are unable to increase our prices to a level sufficient to cover the increased costs, it could adversely affect our margins and we may become less price competitive with companies who manufacture their products in the United States.

Interest Rate Risk

We maintain a $40.0 million unsecured credit agreement (which includes a line of credit, foreign exchange facility and letter of credit sub-facilities) with no balance outstanding at June 30, 2010. The credit agreement, which expires on August 31, 2010, may be used to fund our working capital requirements. Borrowings under this agreement bear interest, at our option, either at the bank’s prime rate (3.25% at June 30, 2010) or LIBOR plus 1.25%. Based on the average interest rate on our credit facility during 2009, and to the extent that borrowings were outstanding, we do not believe that a 10% change in interest rates would have a material effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2010, the end of the quarterly period covered by this report. The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of the disclosure controls’ and procedures’ objectives, design, implementation and the effect of the controls and procedures on the information generated for use in this report. In the course of our evaluation, we sought to identify data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and to confirm the appropriate corrective actions, including process improvements, were being undertaken.

Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and were operating at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II.

OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are subject to various claims, complaints and legal actions in the normal course of business from time to time. We do not believe we have any currently pending litigation of which the outcome will have a material adverse effect on our operations or financial position.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Before deciding to purchase, hold or sell our common stock, you should carefully consider the risks described below in addition to the other cautionary statements and risks described elsewhere, and the other information contained, in this Report and in our other filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K. Risks that could affect our actual performance include, but are not limited to those discussed in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2010. The following are the material changes and updates from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2010.

One retail customer represents a material amount of our revenues, and the loss of this retail customer or reduced purchases from this retail customer may have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

Pacific Sunwear accounted for approximately 11% of our product revenues in 2009 and approximately 12% of our product revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We do not have a long-term contract with Pacific Sunwear, and all of its purchases from us have historically been on a purchase order basis. Sales to Pacific Sunwear decreased 42%, or $22.0 million, for 2009 compared to 2008, and decreased 6%, or $1.1 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. We currently expect revenues from Pacific Sunwear to stay approximately flat in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009. Because Pacific Sunwear has represented such a significant amount of our product revenues, our results of operations are likely to be adversely affected by any Pacific Sunwear decision to decrease its rate of purchases of our products. A decrease in its purchases of our products, a cancellation of orders of our products or a change in the timing of its orders will have an additional adverse affect on our operating results.
