RADIOSHACK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Throughout this report, the terms “our,” “we,” “us,” “Company,” and “RadioShack” refer to RadioShack Corporation, including its subsidiaries. We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of RadioShack Corporation and all majority-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries, in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, we did not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair statement are included. However, our operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, do not necessarily indicate the results you might expect for the full year. For further information, refer to our consolidated financial statements and management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
NOTE 2 – NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance to update the presentation of comprehensive income in consolidated financial statements. Under this new guidance, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements in its annual financial statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2012. Please refer to our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, for the required interim period disclosure. In addition to net income, the other component of our comprehensive income was foreign currency translation adjustments.
 
NOTE 3 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
We account for closed stores or kiosks as discontinued operations when the operations and cash flows of a store or kiosk being disposed of are eliminated from ongoing operations and we do not have any significant continuing involvement in its operations. In reaching the determination as to whether the cash flows of a store or kiosk will be eliminated from our ongoing operations, we consider whether it is likely that customers will migrate to our other retail locations in the same geographic market.
 
All of our remaining kiosks located in Sam’s Club stores were transitioned to Sam’s Club by June 30, 2011. We determined that the cash flows from these kiosks were eliminated from our ongoing operations. Therefore, these operations were reclassified from the kiosks segment to discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2011. The operating results of these kiosks are presented in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income as discontinued operations, net of income taxes, for all periods presented.
 
We incurred no significant gain or loss associated with the transition of these kiosks to Sam’s Club. We redeployed substantially all of our Sam’s Club kiosk employees to nearby RadioShack stores or Target Mobile centers, and we redistributed our Sam’s Club kiosk inventory to our remaining retail channels. Net sales and operating revenues related to these discontinued operations were zero for the second quarter of 2012 and the first six months of 2012, compared with $17.0 million and $62.9 million, respectively, for the same periods last year. Income before income taxes for these discontinued operations was zero for the second quarter of 2012 and the first six months of 2012, compared with $2.4 million and $8.4 million, respectively, for the same periods last year.
 
NOTE 4 – RESTRICTED CASH
 
Restricted cash totaled $26.5 million at June 30, 2012, and is included in other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. This cash is pledged as collateral for a standby letter of credit issued to our general liability insurance provider. We have the ability to withdraw this cash at any time and instead provide a letter of credit issued under our $450 million asset-based revolving credit facility that expires in January 2016 (“2016 Credit Facility”) similar to the letter of credit that was issued under our 2016 Credit Facility at December 31, 2011. We have elected to pledge this cash as collateral to reduce our costs associated with our general liability insurance.

NOTE 5 – INDEBTEDNESS AND BORROWING FACILITIES
 
2013 Convertible Notes: In August 2008, we sold $375 million aggregate principal amount of 2.50% convertible senior notes due August 1, 2013, (the “2013 Convertible Notes”) in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers. The 2013 Convertible Notes were issued at par and interest is payable semiannually, in arrears, on February 1 and August 1.
 
Each $1,000 of principal of the 2013 Convertible Notes is currently convertible, under certain circumstances, into 42.0746 shares of our common stock (or a total of approximately 15.8 million shares), which is the equivalent of $23.77 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events set forth under terms of the 2013 Convertible Notes. Upon conversion, we would pay the holder the cash value of the applicable number of shares of our common stock, up to the principal amount of the note. Amounts in excess of the principal amount, if any (the “excess conversion value”), may be paid in cash or in stock, at our option. Holders may convert their 2013 Convertible Notes into common stock on the net settlement basis described above at any time from May 1, 2013, until the close of business on July 29, 2013.
 
We classified the 2013 Convertible Notes as a current liability at June 30, 2012. While we are not obligated to repay the principal amount of the notes until August 1, 2013, a holder of the notes may elect to convert the notes beginning on May 1, 2013, which is within one year of our balance sheet date. Based on the $3.84 per share closing market price of our common stock at June 29, 2012, a holder who elects to convert their notes before the maturity date would receive a conversion value of $161.57 per $1,000 principal note.
 
2019 Notes: On May 3, 2011, we sold $325 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior unsecured notes due May 15, 2019, in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers. These notes were exchanged for substantially identical notes that were registered with the SEC in December 2011 (“2019 Notes”). The obligation to pay principal and interest on the 2019 Notes is jointly and severally guaranteed on a full and unconditional basis by all of the guarantors under the 2016 Credit Facility, which currently includes all of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries except Tandy Life Insurance Company. The 2019 Notes pay interest at a fixed rate of 6.75% per year. Interest is payable semiannually, in arrears, on May 15 and November 15.
 
The 2019 Notes contain covenants that could, in certain circumstances, limit our ability to issue additional debt, repurchase shares of our common stock, make certain other restricted payments, make investments, or enter into certain other transactions. At June 30, 2012, we were in compliance with these covenants.
 
Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, for additional information regarding the 2019 Notes.
 
NOTE 6 – STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
We paid a $0.125 per share dividend in the first and second quarters of 2012, which totaled $12.5 million in the second quarter and $24.9 million for the first six months of 2012.  On July 25, 2012, we announced that we suspended our dividend.  During the second quarter of 2011, we paid $101.4 million to purchase 6.3 million shares of our common stock in open market purchases.
 
NOTE 7 – PLANT CLOSURE
 
During the second quarter of 2011 we ceased production operations in our Chinese manufacturing plant. Since production operations ceased, we have continued to acquire inventory similar to that previously produced by this facility from alternative product sourcing channels. In conjunction with the plant closing, we incurred total costs of $10.2 million for the first six months of 2011. We incurred $7.1 million in compensation expense for severance packages for the termination of approximately 1,500 employees. We recorded a foreign currency exchange loss of $1.5 million related to the reversal of our foreign currency cumulative translation adjustment, which is classified as a selling, general and administrative expense. We also recorded an inventory valuation loss of $1.2 million, which is classified as additional cost of products sold, and accelerated depreciation of $0.4 million.
 
NOTE 8 – NET (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE
 
Basic net (loss) income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period presented. Diluted net (loss) income per share reflects the potential dilution that would have occurred if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised, converted, or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would have then shared in our earnings.

(1)
For the second quarter of 2012 and the first six months of 2012, these common stock equivalents were excluded because the effect of their inclusion would reduce our net loss per share in these periods and would be antidilutive. In addition, the exercise prices of these common stock equivalents exceeded the average market price of our common stock during these periods.
(2)
For the second quarter of 2011 and the first six months of 2011, these common stock equivalents were excluded because their exercise prices exceeded the average market price of our common stock during this period, and the effect of their inclusion would be antidilutive.
(3)
These common stock equivalents were excluded because their exercise prices ($35.88 per share, $36.60 per share, $35.88 per share and $36.60 per share for each period, respectively) exceeded the average market prices of our common stock during these periods, and the effect of their inclusion would be antidilutive.
(4)
These common stock equivalents were excluded because their conversion prices ($23.77 per share, $24.25 per share, $23.77 per share and $24.25 per share for each period, respectively) exceeded the average market prices of our common stock during these periods, and the effect of their inclusion would be antidilutive.

The FASB’s accounting guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:
 
·  
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 
·

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, long-lived assets held and used in certain locations of our U.S. RadioShack company-operated stores segment with a total carrying value of $1.4 million were written down to their fair value of $0.4 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $1.0 million that was included in earnings for the period. The inputs used to calculate the fair value of these long-lived assets included the projected cash flows and a risk-adjusted rate of return that we estimated would be used by a market participant in valuing these assets. The projected cash flows for a particular store are based on average historical cash flows for that store and are projected through the remainder of its lease. The risk-adjusted rate of return used to discount these cash flows ranges from 15% to 20%.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and long-term debt. With the exception of long-term debt, the financial statement carrying amounts of these items approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. Estimated fair values for long-term debt have been determined using recent trading activity and/or bid-ask spreads and are classified as Level 2 in the FASB’s fair value hierarchy.
 
Carrying amounts and the related estimated fair value of our debt financial instruments are as follows:

The fair value of our 2.5% convertible notes due in 2013 was $352.8 million at June 30, 2012, compared with $358.6 million at December 31, 2011. The fair value of the 2019 Notes was $244.6 million at June 30, 2012, compared with $281.4 million at December 31, 2011.
 
NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Loss Contingencies:  FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 450 - Contingencies (“ASC 450”) governs our disclosure and recognition of loss contingencies, including pending claims, lawsuits, disputes with third parties, investigations and other actions that are incidental to the operation of our business. ASC 450 uses the following defined terms to describe the likelihood of a future loss:  probable – the future event or events are likely to occur, remote – the chance of the future event or events is slight, and reasonably possible – the chance of the future event or events occurring is more than remote but less than likely. ASC 450 also contains certain requirements with respect to how we accrue for and disclose information concerning our loss contingencies. We accrue for a loss contingency when we conclude that the likelihood of a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. When the reasonable estimate of the loss is within a range of amounts, and no amount in the range constitutes a better estimate than any other amount, we accrue for the amount at the low end of the range. We adjust our accruals from time to time as we receive additional information, but the loss we incur may be significantly greater than or less than the amount we have accrued. We disclose loss contingencies if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss has been incurred. No accrual or disclosure is required for losses that are remote.
 
Brookler v. RadioShack Corporation:  On April 6, 2004, plaintiffs filed a putative class action in Los Angeles Superior Court, Brookler v. RadioShack Corporation, claiming that we violated California's wage and hour laws relating to meal and rest periods. The meal period portion of the case was originally certified as a class action in February 2006. Our first Motion for Decertification of the class was denied in August 2007. After a favorable decision at the California Court of Appeals in the similar case of Brinker Restaurant Corporation v. Superior Court, we filed a second motion for decertification, and in October 2008 the trial court granted our motion. The plaintiffs in Brookler appealed this ruling. Due to the unsettled nature of California law regarding the obligations of employers in respect of meal periods, we and the Brookler plaintiffs requested that the California Court of Appeals stay its ruling on the plaintiffs’ appeal of the class decertification ruling pending the California Supreme Court’s decision in Brinker. The appellate court denied this joint motion and then heard oral arguments in the case on August 5, 2010. On August 26, 2010, the California Court of Appeals reversed the trial court’s decertification of the class, and our Petition for Rehearing was denied on September 14, 2010. On September 28, 2010, we filed a Petition for Review with the California Supreme Court, which granted review and placed the case on hold pending its decision in Brinker. On April 12, 2012, the California Supreme Court issued its decision in Brinker. On June 20, 2012, the California Supreme Court remanded the Brookler case to the California Court of Appeals instructing it to vacate its prior order and reconsider its ruling in light of its ruling in Brinker. The outcome of this case is uncertain and the ultimate resolution of it could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements in the period in which the resolution is recorded.

Ordonez v. RadioShack Corporation:  In May 2010, Daniel Ordonez, on behalf of himself and all other similarly situated current and former employees, filed a Complaint against the Company in the Los Angeles Superior Court. In July 2010, Mr. Ordonez filed an Amended Complaint alleging, among other things, that we failed to provide required meal periods, provide required rest breaks, pay overtime compensation, pay minimum wages, and maintain required records. In September 2010 we removed the case to the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The proposed putative class in Ordonez consists of all current and former non-exempt employees for a period within the four (4) years preceding the filing of the case. The meal period claims raised in Ordonez are similar to the claims raised in Brookler as discussed above. Pursuant to a motion filed by the Ordonez parties, the court recently granted a Stipulation and Order to Stay Proceedings pending the decision of the California Supreme Court in Brinker. On April 12, 2012, the California Supreme Court issued its decision in Brinker. We are still evaluating the potential effect of this decision on Ordonez. The outcome of this case is uncertain and the ultimate resolution of it could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements in the period in which the resolution is recorded.
 
Song-Beverly Credit Card Act:  In November 2010, RadioShack received service of process with respect to the first of four putative class action lawsuits filed in California (Sosinov v. RadioShack, Los Angeles Superior Court; Bitter v. RadioShack, Federal District Court, Central District of California; Moreno v. RadioShack, Federal District Court, Southern District of California; and Grant v. RadioShack, San Francisco Superior Court). The plaintiffs in all of these cases seek damages under California’s Song-Beverly Credit Card Act (the “Act”). Plaintiffs claim that under one section of the Act, retailers are prohibited from recording certain personal identification information regarding their customers while processing credit card transactions unless certain statutory exceptions are applicable. The Act provides that any person who violates this section is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $250 for the first violation and $1,000 for each subsequent violation. In each of the cases, plaintiffs allege that we violated the Act by asking them for personal identification information while processing a credit card transaction and then recording it. The outcomes of these cases are uncertain and the ultimate resolution of these cases could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements in the period in which the resolution is recorded.
 
Redman v. RadioShack Corporation:  On September 26, 2011, Scott D.H. Redman filed a putative class action lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Mr. Redman claims that we violated certain provisions of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (“FACTA”), which amended the Fair Credit Reporting Act, by displaying the expiration dates of our customers’ credit or debit cards on electronically printed transaction receipts. Mr. Redman filed a motion seeking to certify a class that includes all persons to whom the Company provided an electronically printed transaction receipt, in transactions occurring after June 3, 2008, that displayed the expiration date of the person’s credit or debit card. On November 3, 2011, Mario Aliano and Vitoria Radavicuite filed a similar putative class action lawsuit against the Company, also in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, alleging similar violations of FACTA. Mr. Aliano and Ms. Radavicuite initially filed a motion seeking to certify a class that includes all persons to whom the Company provided an electronically printed transaction receipt, in transactions occurring in Illinois after June 3, 2008, that displayed the expiration date of the person's credit or debit card. On December 28, 2011, Mr. Aliano and Ms. Radavicuite filed an amended complaint and an amended motion seeking to certify a class that was not limited to transactions occurring in Illinois. On January 11, 2012, the Aliano lawsuit was reassigned to the judge presiding over the Redman lawsuit on the basis of relatedness, and the two cases were consolidated for all purposes. On January 25, 2012, the presiding judge referred the matter to the magistrate judge assigned to the consolidated cases for mediation, extending the time by which the Company must respond to the pending complaints to such time as the magistrate judge shall order, and is holding the motions for class certification in abeyance. Mediation sessions were held in March and June of 2012. Neither resulted in a settlement, and we continue to vigorously defend these cases. The outcome of these cases is uncertain and the ultimate resolution of them could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements in the period in which the resolutions are recorded.
 
Additional Disclosure:  For certain loss contingencies, we are currently able to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss, including reasonably possible loss amounts in excess of our accruals, and we estimated that the aggregate of these amounts could be up to $12 million. This amount reflects recent developments in case law that pertain to certain claims currently pending against the Company. Probable and reasonably possible losses that we are currently unable to estimate are not included in this amount. In future periods, we may recognize a loss for all, part, or none of this amount.
 
We are currently unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss in respect of certain loss contingencies. Some cases remain in an early stage, with few or no substantive legal decisions by the court defining the scope of the claims, the class (if any), or the potential damages. In addition, in some cases we are not able to estimate the amount of the loss, due to a significant unresolved question of law that is expected to have a significant impact on the probability or amount of loss when resolved. As these matters develop and we receive additional information, we may be able to estimate reasonably possible losses or range of loss for these matters.
 
 
 
10

 
 
 
 
Our evaluation of our loss contingencies involves subjective assessments, assumptions, and judgments, and actual losses incurred in future periods may differ significantly from our estimates. Accordingly, although occasional adverse resolutions may occur and negatively affect our consolidated financial statements in the period of the resolution, we believe that the ultimate resolution of our loss contingencies for which we have not accrued losses will not materially adversely affect our financial condition.
 
NOTE 11 – SEGMENT REPORTING
 
The U.S. RadioShack company-operated stores segment consists solely of our 4,423 U.S. company-operated retail stores, all operating under the RadioShack brand name. We evaluate the performance of our segments based on operating income, which is defined as sales less cost of products sold and certain direct operating expenses, including labor, rent, and occupancy costs. Asset balances by segment have not been included in the table below, as these are managed on a company-wide level and are not fully allocated to segments for management reporting purposes. Amounts in the other category reflect our business activities that are not separately reportable, which include sales through our Target Mobile centers, sales to our independent dealers, sales generated by our www.radioshack.com website and our Mexican subsidiary, sales to commercial customers, and sales to other third parties through our global sourcing and manufacturing operations.

The unallocated category included in operating income relates to our overhead and corporate expenses that are not allocated to our operating segments for management reporting purposes. Unallocated costs include corporate departmental expenses such as labor and benefits, advertising, insurance, distribution, and information technology costs, plus certain unusual or infrequent gains or losses.
(3)
The operating loss for our unallocated category increased by $9.6 million and $13.6 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively. These increases were primarily due to decreased intercompany profits earned by our distribution operations due to the mix of products distributed.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (“MD&A”).
 
This MD&A section of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q discusses our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources, and certain factors that may affect our future results of operations. You should read this MD&A in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included under Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report, as well as with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Second Quarter Summary
Net sales and operating revenues increased $11.3 million, or 1.2%, to $953.2 million when compared with the same period last year. Comparable store sales were essentially flat with an increase of 0.1%. Our increase in net sales and operating revenues was driven primarily by increased sales in our mobility platform, which was partially offset by decreased sales in our consumer electronics platform.
 
Consolidated gross profit decreased $71.8 million, or 16.6%, for the second quarter, when compared with the same period last year. The decrease in gross profit dollars was primarily driven by decreased gross profit for our postpaid wireless business in our U.S. RadioShack company-operated stores. Consolidated gross margin decreased by 8.1 percentage points to 37.8% in the second quarter when compared with the same period last year. The decrease in gross margin was a result of the decreases in the gross margin rates of our postpaid wireless business in our U.S. RadioShack company-operated stores and Target Mobile centers, combined with the increased percentage that postpaid wireless revenues represented as a percentage of our consolidated net sales and operating revenues when compared with the same period last year. The decrease in the gross margin rate of our postpaid wireless business was driven by a change in our sales mix towards lower margin smartphones, primarily the iPhone, and discounted pricing promotions during the second quarter.
 
Consolidated SG&A expense decreased $1.8 million, or 0.5%, for the second quarter, when compared with the same period last year. This represents a 0.7 percentage point decrease as a percentage of net sales and operating revenues for the second quarter.
 
Our loss from continuing operations was $21.0 million ($0.21 per share) for the second quarter, compared with income from continuing operations of $23.5 million ($0.23 per diluted share) for the same period last year.
 
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was a negative $1.1 million, compared with $69.1 million for the same period last year.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations (“Adjusted EBITDA”), a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is also adjusted for other income or loss and cumulative effects of changes in accounting principles, if applicable. The comparable financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA under GAAP is income from continuing operations. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate the operating performance of our business for comparable periods. Adjusted EBITDA should not be used by investors or others as the sole basis for formulating investment decisions, as it excludes a number of important items. We compensate for this limitation by using GAAP financial measures as well in managing our business. In the view of management, Adjusted EBITDA is an important indicator of operating performance because Adjusted EBITDA excludes the effects of financing and investing activities by eliminating the effects of interest, depreciation costs, and other losses.

U.S. RadioShack company-operated store sales for the second quarter decreased $25.4 million, or 3.2%, and decreased $87.0 million, or 5.1%, for the first six months of 2012 when compared with the same periods last year. Increased sales in our mobility platform were more than offset by decreased sales in our consumer electronics platform.
 
Mobility Platform:  Sales in our mobility platform (which includes postpaid and prepaid wireless handsets, commissions and residual income, prepaid wireless airtime, e-readers, and tablet devices) increased 3.3% for the second quarter and decreased 1.2% for the first six months of 2012, when compared with the same periods last year.
 
The increase in sales for the second quarter was primarily driven by increased sales in our postpaid wireless business and increased sales of tablet devices. These sales increases were partially offset by decreased sales in our prepaid wireless business. The sales increase in our postpaid wireless business was driven by an increase in the average revenue per unit sold, which was partially offset by a decrease in the number of postpaid units sold. The decrease in the number of postpaid units sold was primarily driven by decreased unit sales of Sprint handsets, which was partially offset by increased sales of Verizon handsets. The decrease in Sprint handset sales was due to changes in Sprint’s customer and credit models that were implemented in mid-2011. The increase in the average revenue per postpaid unit was primarily driven by a change in our sales mix towards higher priced smartphones, primarily the iPhone.
 
The decrease in sales for the first six months of 2012 was primarily driven by decreased sales in our prepaid and postpaid wireless businesses.

Signature Platform:  Sales in our signature platform (which includes wireless, music, computer, video game, and home entertainment accessories; general purpose and special purpose power products; technical products; and services) was flat for the second quarter and increased 0.3% for the first six months of 2012, compared with the same periods last year. Product categories with sales increases during these periods included headphones and tablet accessories. Product categories with sales decreases during the period included home entertainment accessories and personal computer accessories.
 
Consumer Electronics Platform:  Sales in our consumer electronics platform (which includes digital music players, personal computing products, laptop computers, cameras, residential telephones, digital televisions, and other consumer electronics products) decreased 26.5% for the second quarter and decreased 25.2% for the first six months of 2012, compared with the same periods last year. These sales decreases were driven by sales declines in laptop computers, digital cameras, digital music players, GPS devices, and digital televisions.
 
Other Sales
 
Amounts in other sales reflect our business activities that are not separately reportable, which include sales through our Target Mobile centers, sales to our independent dealers, and sales generated by our www.radioshack.com website and our Mexican subsidiary. Other sales increased $36.7 million, or 25.5%, for the second quarter and increased $89.2 million, or 33.5%, for the first six months of 2012, when compared with the same periods last year. These sales increases were driven primarily by increased sales at our Target Mobile centers for both periods.

Consolidated gross profit decreased $71.8 million, or 16.6%, for the second quarter and decreased $131.7 million, or 14.9% for the first six months of 2012, when compared with the same periods last year. These decreases were primarily driven by decreased gross profit for our postpaid wireless business in our U.S. RadioShack company-operated stores.
 
The decrease in gross profit dollars for our postpaid wireless business in our U.S. RadioShack company-operated stores was driven by decreases in average gross profit dollars per unit sold and decreases in the number of units sold for the second quarter and the first six months of 2012, when compared with the same periods last year. The decreases in average gross profit dollars per unit sold were due to a higher mix of lower margin iPhones and discounted pricing promotions during the second quarter. The decreases in the number of postpaid wireless handsets sold were due to decreased unit sales in our Sprint postpaid wireless business.
 
The decreases in our consolidated gross margin rates were a result of the decreases in the gross margin rates of our postpaid wireless business in our U.S. RadioShack company-operated stores and Target Mobile centers, combined with the increased percentage that postpaid wireless revenues represented as a percentage of our consolidated net sales and operating revenues when compared with the same periods last year. The decreases in the gross margin rates of our postpaid wireless business were driven by a change in our sales mix towards lower margin smartphones and discounted pricing promotions during the second quarter. Smartphones generally, and the iPhone in particular, carry a lower gross margin rate, given their higher average cost basis.
 
The remaining decreases in gross profit dollars were due to decreased revenues for our non-postpaid wireless business, which had average gross margin rates that were consistent with the same periods last year.

Selling, general and administrative expense (decrease) increase

Consolidated SG&A expense decreased $1.8 million, or 0.5%, for the second quarter and increased $0.9 million, or 0.1%, for the first six months of 2012, when compared with the same periods last year. This represents a 0.7 percentage point decrease as a percentage of net sales and operating revenues for the second quarter and no change for the first six months of 2012.
 
The decrease in SG&A expense for the second quarter was due to costs incurred to close our Chinese manufacturing plant in the second quarter of 2011, which were not incurred in the second quarter of 2012. SG&A expense for the second quarter of 2011 included severance costs of $5.6 million and a foreign currency exchange loss of $1.5 million. This decrease was partially offset by increased store incentive compensation at our U.S. RadioShack company-operated stores and Target Mobile centers, when compared with the second quarter of 2011.
 
In addition to the items discussed above, SG&A expense for the first six months of 2012 also included increased costs to support additional Target Mobile centers that were not open in the same period last year and decreased advertising expense in the first quarter.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization from continuing operations, including amounts recorded in cost of products sold, was $20.1 million for the second quarter and $41.0 million for the first six months of 2012, compared with $20.2 million and $40.2 million, respectively, for the same periods last year.
 
Net Interest Expense
Consolidated net interest expense, which is interest expense net of interest income, was $12.6 million for the second quarter and $25.2 million for the first six months of 2012, compared with $10.4 million and $19.8 million, respectively, for the same periods last year.
 
Interest expense for 2012 primarily consists of interest paid at the stated coupon rate on our notes and the non-cash amortization of the discounts on our notes. Interest expense for 2011 also included cash received on our interest rate swaps and the non-cash change in fair value of our interest rate swaps.
 
Interest expense increased $2.0 million for the second quarter and increased $5.4 million for the first six months of 2012, when compared with the same periods last year. These increases were driven by the interest expense related to our 2019 Notes, which were outstanding for all of the second quarter and first six months of 2012, but were not outstanding during all of the same periods last year. Non-cash interest expense was $4.4 million for the second quarter and $8.7 million for the first six months of 2012, compared with $3.9 million and $8.6 million, respectively, for the same periods last year.
 
Income Tax Expense
The income tax provision for each quarterly period reflects our current estimate of the effective tax rate for the full year, adjusted for any discrete events that are recorded in the quarterly period in which they occur. Our effective tax rate was 37.9% for the second quarter and 35.0% for the first six months of 2012, compared with 39.0% and 39.1%, respectively, for the same periods last year. Our income tax benefits for the second quarter and the first six months of 2012 included offsetting discrete income tax expense items related to certain stock-based compensation effects, interest accrued on our liabilities for uncertain tax positions, and valuation allowances established in the second quarter for certain state income tax deferred tax assets.
 
Discontinued Operations
All of our remaining kiosks located in Sam’s Club stores were transitioned to Sam’s Club by June 30, 2011. Income before income taxes for these discontinued operations was zero for the second quarter of 2012 and the first six months of 2012, compared with $2.4 million and $8.4 million, respectively, for the same periods last year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Cash Flow Overview
 
Operating Activities: Cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2012 was $22.9 million, compared with $101.5 million for the same period last year. Cash flows from operating activities are comprised of net income plus non-cash adjustments to net income and changes in working capital components. Net income plus non-cash adjustments to net income was $30.3 million for the first six months of 2012, compared with $118.1 million for the same period last year. Cash used in working capital components was $7.4 million for the first six months of 2012, compared with $16.6 million for the same period last year. The decrease in net income plus non-cash adjustments was primarily driven by decreased earnings for the first six months of 2012.
 
Investing Activities: Cash used in investing activities was $54.1 million for the first six months of 2012, compared with $41.5 million for the same period last year. This increase was driven by the change in our restricted cash balance in 2012, which was partially offset by decreased capital expenditures in 2012, when compared to the first six months of 2011. See “Cash Requirements” below in this MD&A regarding our restricted cash and capital expenditures.
 
Financing Activities: Cash used in financing activities was $42.8 million for the first six months of 2012, compared with $77.2 million for the same period last year. Cash used in financing activities for 2012 included payments of our quarterly dividends for the first and second quarters that were not paid in the first six months of 2011. The net cash used in financing activities for the first six months of 2011 included share repurchases of $101.4 million.
 
Free Cash Flow: Our free cash flow, defined as cash flows from operating activities less dividends paid and additions to property, plant and equipment, was a negative $29.7 million for the first six months of 2012, compared with a positive $60.0 million for the same period last year. The decrease in free cash flow for the first quarter of 2012 was attributable to decreased cash flows from operating activities as described above and the payment of our quarterly dividend in the first and second quarters of 2012.
 
We believe free cash flow is a relevant indicator of our ability to repay maturing debt, make dividend payments or fund other uses of capital that management believes will enhance shareholder value. The comparable financial measure to free cash flow under generally accepted accounting principles is cash flows from operating activities, which was $22.9 million for the first six months of 2012, compared with $101.5 million for the same period last year. We do not intend for the presentation of free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, nor do we intend to imply that free cash flow represents cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. The following table is a reconciliation of cash flows from operating activities to free cash flow.

SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY
As of June 30, 2012, we had $517.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and $26.5 million of restricted cash. See further discussion of our restricted cash under ‘Cash Requirements’ later in this report. We believe that our cash flows from operations and available cash and cash equivalents will adequately fund our operations, our capital expenditures, and our debt obligations. Additionally, at June 30, 2012, we had $392.5 million of availability under our $450 million asset-based revolving credit facility that expires in January 2016 (“2016 Credit Facility”).  We continually assess our capital structure and liquidity needs and evaluate strategic capital and liquidity initiatives. Although we have cash on hand to satisfy the maturity, we are currently considering alternatives to address our maturing 2013 Convertible notes. These may include, but are not limited to, new revolving or term loans, new bond issuances, debt exchanges, modifications of existing debt, and repurchases of existing debt including through open market repurchases or tender offers. Any changes, if implemented, could materially affect our capital structure, liquidity, debt ratios, and cash balances. We also regularly assess our dividend program in the context of our overall capital structure and liquidity needs. On July 25, 2012, we announced that we suspended our dividend.
 
 
 
24

 
 
 
2016 Credit Facility: We had no borrowings outstanding under the 2016 Credit Facility at any time during the first six months of 2012, but our availability under the credit facility was reduced by an aggregate amount of outstanding commercial letters of credit ranging from $0.5 million to $1.4 million during the second quarter.
 
The 2016 Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, restrict certain payments, including dividends and share repurchases. We were in compliance with those covenants at June 30, 2012. Also, if we do not meet a specified consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio during a trailing twelve-month period, the availability under our credit facility will be reduced by the greater of 12.5% of the borrowing base (currently $56.3 million) or $45 million. As of June 30, 2012, our availability under the 2016 Credit Facility was reduced by $56.3 million as a result of our consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio at June 30, 2012.
 
We believe that the reduced availability under our credit facility will have no effect on our ability to fund our operations, capital expenditures, or debt obligations, and we currently anticipate that no amount would be borrowed under the current credit facility. As a result of our recent trend of lower earnings, it is possible that we may continue to not meet the specified consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio in future periods.
 
Refer to Note 4 – “Indebtedness and Borrowing Facilities” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, for additional information regarding this credit facility.
 
CASH REQUIREMENTS
 
Long-term debt: There have been no additions or reductions to our long-term debt since December 31, 2011. At June 30, 2012, we classified the 2013 Convertible Notes as a current liability. While we are not obligated to repay the principal amount of the notes until August 1, 2013, a holder of the notes may elect to convert the notes beginning on May 1, 2013, which is within one year of our balance sheet date. Based on the $3.84 per share closing market price of our common stock at June 29, 2012, a holder who elects to convert their notes before the maturity date would receive a conversion value of $161.57 per $1,000 principal note.
 
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, and the availability under our 2016 Credit Facility can adequately fund the redemption of the 2013 Convertible Notes on August 1, 2013. We are currently considering alternatives relating to our maturing 2013 Convertible Notes.
 
Refer to Note 4 – “Indebtedness and Borrowing Facilities” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, for information regarding our long-term debt.
 
Capital Expenditures: We estimate that our capital expenditure requirements for 2012 will range from $70 million to $90 million. Information systems projects and U.S. RadioShack company-operated store remodels and relocations will account for the majority of these anticipated capital expenditures. Cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operating activities will be used to fund future capital expenditure needs.
 
Restricted Cash: Restricted cash totaled $26.5 million at June 30, 2012, and is included in other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. This cash is pledged as collateral for a standby letter of credit issued to our general liability insurance provider. We have the ability to withdraw this cash at any time and instead provide a letter of credit issued under our 2016 Credit Facility similar to the letter of credit that was issued under our 2016 Credit Facility at December 31, 2011. We have elected to pledge this cash as collateral to reduce our costs associated with our general liability insurance.
 
Contractual Obligations: There have been no significant changes to our contractual obligations and commercial commitments outside the ordinary course of business since December 31, 2011. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, for additional information regarding our contractual obligations and commercial commitments.

The change from our June 30, 2011, stockholders’ equity balance to our June 30, 2012, balance reflects the $74.5 million in dividends paid in the last twelve months.
 
Dividends: We paid a $0.125 per share dividend in the first and second quarters of 2012, which totaled $12.5 million in the second quarter and $24.9 million for the first six months of 2012. The dividends were funded from cash on hand. On July 25, 2012, we announced that we suspended our dividend.
 
Share Repurchases: In October 2011, our Board of Directors approved an authorization for a total share repurchase of $200 million of the Company’s common stock to be executed through open market or private transactions. On January 30, 2012, we announced that the remaining $188.1 million of share repurchases under this program have been suspended.
 
The declaration of dividends, the dividend rate, and the amount and timing of share repurchases are at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors, and plans for future dividends and share repurchases may be revised by the board at any time. RadioShack's dividend and share repurchase programs could be affected by, among other things, changes in RadioShack's results of operations, capital expenditures, cash flows, and applicable tax laws.
 
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Other than our operating leases, we do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, transactions, or special purpose entities. Refer to Note 13 – “Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, for information regarding our operating leases.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our critical accounting policies and estimates have not significantly changed since December 31, 2011. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.
 
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
Matters discussed in MD&A and in other parts of this report include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical and may be identified by the use of words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “potential” or similar words. These matters include statements concerning management's plans and objectives relating to our operations or economic performance and related assumptions. We specifically disclaim any duty to update any of the information set forth in this report, including any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are made based on management's current expectations and beliefs concerning future events and, therefore, involve a number of assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, including the risk factors described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Management cautions that forward-looking statements are not guarantees, and our actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.
 
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
 
At June 30, 2012, we held no derivative instruments that materially increased our exposure to market risks for interest rates, foreign currency rates, commodity prices or other market price risks.
 
Our exposure to interest rate risk results from changes in short-term interest rates. Interest rate risk exists with respect to our cash equivalents of $354.9 million at June 30, 2012. These instruments currently yield less than 100 basis points on an annualized basis. A hypothetical decrease of interest rates to zero would result in a decrease in annual interest income of less than $3.6 million. This hypothesis assumes no change in the cash equivalent balance.
 
 
 
26

 
 
 
We have market risk arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our purchase of inventory from manufacturers located in China and other areas outside of the U.S. Our purchases are denominated in U.S. dollars; however, the strengthening of the Chinese currency, or other currencies, against the U.S. dollar could cause our vendors to increase the prices of items we purchase from them. It is not possible to estimate the effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes on our purchases of this inventory. We are also exposed to foreign currency fluctuations related to our Mexican subsidiary, which accounted for less than 5% of consolidated net sales and operating revenues.
 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We have established a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information relating to the Company that is required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer (President and Chief Executive Officer) and our principal financial officer (Executive Vice President – Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer), in a timely fashion. An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) was performed as of the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
 
Refer to Note 10 – “Commitments and Contingencies” in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information on legal proceedings.
 
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
 
The following risk factors are an update to and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors in Item 1A -- Risk Factors in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2011: 
 
Our inability to increase or maintain profitability of our operations could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. 
 
A critical component of our business strategy is to improve our overall profitability. Our ability to increase profitable sales in existing retail locations may be affected by:
 
·  
Our ability to offer and sell products with sufficient gross profit to improve our overall profitability
 
·  
Our success in attracting customers into our retail locations
 
·  
Our ability to choose the correct mix of products to sell
 
·  
Our ability to keep our retail locations stocked with merchandise customers will purchase
 
·  
Our ability to maintain fully-staffed retail locations with appropriately trained employees
 
·  
Our ability to remain relevant to the consumer
 
·  
Our ability to sustain existing retail channels such as our Target Mobile centers and compete with the adoption of new distribution methods
 
Our products and services must appeal to a broad range of consumers whose preferences cannot be predicted with certainty and are subject to frequent change. Our success depends upon our ability to anticipate and respond in a timely manner to trends in consumer preferences, tastes, spending patterns and other lifestyle decisions relating to consumer electronics. The introduction and availability of new products are often controlled by manufacturers and may be subject to the cooperation of third parties such as wireless providers. If we fail to identify and respond to these trends in a timely manner, our sales may decline.
 
In addition, consumer spending remains uncertain, which makes it more challenging for us to maintain or grow our operating income. As a result, we must continue to control our expense structure. Failure to manage our labor and benefit rates, advertising and marketing expenses, or other store expenses could delay or prevent us from achieving increased profitability or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
 
 
 
27

 
 
 
We had negative adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2012. These results have had a negative impact on our financial condition and cash flows from operations. Our primary sources of liquidity include our cash flows from operations, available cash and cash equivalents and availability under our 2016 Credit Facility, which we believe will adequately fund our operations, our capital expenditures, and our debt obligations. However, our business may not quickly return to profitability and we may incur losses beyond our current expectations. Continued weak earnings may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and cash flows from operations.
 
Our inability to attract and retain an effective management team or changes in the cost or availability of a suitable workforce to manage and support our strategies could materially adversely affect our results of operation and financial condition.
 
Our success depends in large part upon our ability to attract, motivate and retain a qualified management team and other employees. We have experienced numerous changes in our executive management team in the past several years, including a new chief financial officer in 2011 and the departure of several executive vice presidents in the first half of 2012. Further, the ability to retain key employees during a period of weak earnings can be difficult. If we are unable to retain key executive officers, then it may be difficult for us to maintain a competitive position within the industry or to implement strategic changes in the future. In addition, qualified non-management individuals needed to fill necessary positions could be in short supply. The inability to recruit and retain such individuals on a continuous basis could result in high employee turnover at our stores and in our company generally, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, competition for qualified employees requires us to continually assess our compensation structure. Competition for qualified employees has required, and in the future could require, us to pay higher wages to attract a sufficient number of qualified employees, resulting in higher labor compensation expense.
