Zip drives are affordable portable storage products for personal computer users, which allow users to easily store, transport and secure data on removable disks. Zip drives are available in capacities of 100MB, 250MB and 750MB and are available in internal and external configurations with USB 2.0 and ATAPI. Zip drives are compatible with leading operating systems for personal computers and workstations (both PC and Mac^®). We have ceased selling Zip drives to distributors or resellers in the European Union (“EU”) as of July 1, 2006, as a result of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (“RoHS”) lead free initiative. Zip drives use our proprietary Zip disks.

Zip Disks. Zip disks are available in 100MB, 250MB and 750MB capacities. Sales of Zip disks continue worldwide, including the EU.

Business Products

REV Products

REV Drives and Disks. In April of 2004, we began shipping our first generation REV products, a 35GB native capacity drive and disk. We began shipping the REV 70GB products in July of 2006. The REV products consist of a drive and removable, rugged and portable disk available in native capacities of 35GB and 70GB. With data compression, the disks have capacities up to 70GB and 140GB, respectively. The REV 35GB drive is available in external USB 2.0, Firewire and internal ATAPI, SCSI and SATA interfaces while the REV 70GB drive is available in external USB 2.0 and internal ATAPI and SATA interfaces. REV products are designed for backup, archive and high-capacity portable storage for small- and medium-sized businesses and enterprise workgroups. Other potential markets include traditional tape backup/archiving, video surveillance, professional audio/video, medical imaging data storage and high-end workstation support applications. Compared to DDS/DAT and Travan-based tape systems, REV drives and disks are faster, more durable, easier to maintain, provide random access to data and the drives are less expensive. We have developed and announced in March of 2008, a next generation REV drive with 120GB native capacity per disk.

REV-Based Autoloaders. During the fourth quarter of 2005, we launched a REV-based Autoloader, which is one REV 35GB drive and holds eight 35GB removable disks. The next generation Autoloader, based on the REV 70GB platform, was launched in September of 2006, giving one drive access to 560GB on eight 70GB disks. Aftermarket service plans for REV-based Autoloader are available either separately or bundled with REV-based Autoloaders.

NAS Servers. We ship NAS servers with capacities ranging from 500GB to 3TB. We market our NAS products toward small- and medium-sized businesses and enterprise workgroups. Our NAS servers either use a Microsoft^® Windows^®-based operating system or an Iomega developed imbedded Linux operating system. Aftermarket service plans for Iomega NAS servers are available either separately or bundled with NAS servers depending upon the NAS server model.

Iomega StorCenter and Home Network Hard Drives. Iomega StorCenter and Home network hard drives are available in capacities ranging from 320GB to 1TB and are compatible with PC, Mac^® and Linux operating systems. With our StorCenter and Home network hard drives, multiple users can store and share files from any standard or wireless computer connected to that network. For backup applications, certain third-party applications and other miscellaneous products are included along with password protection and data management.

Services

Services consist of the operations of CSCI, Inc. (“CSCI”), including OfficeScreen solutions, resale of e-mail security from a third party and system integration and also Iomega services such as iStorage. We acquired CSCI in August of 2006; CSCI’s OfficeScreen managed security services include managing firewalls, providing secure remote access for small businesses and reselling e-mail security.

Other Products

Our Other Products segment consists of license and patent fee income (when not assigned to specific products) and products that have been discontinued or are otherwise immaterial, including Jaz^® disks and Iomega software products such as Iomega Automatic Backup software and other miscellaneous products. iStorage and other services that were previously reflected in this segment have been reclassified to the Services segment under the Business Products category. The Other Products segment included the research and development of the Digital Capture Technology (“DCT”) development program, which was cancelled in the second half of 2004 but later licensed to a third party.

Product Development

Research and development expenses were $8.1 million, or 2% of sales, for 2007; $8.9 million, or 4% of sales, for 2006 and $14.1 million, or 5% of sales, for 2005. These expenses were incurred primarily for the research and development of REV products, and, to a lesser extent, network storage devices. Development expenses were also incurred for software enhancements as well as in the sourcing, qualification and testing of certain products, including external HDD products, CD-RW and DVD rewritable drives and other products.

IOMEGA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

BUSINESS (Continued)

Product Development (Continued)

Overall research and development amounts are anticipated to be similar in dollar amount in 2008 as compared to 2007. Such costs will be associated with network storage products, software enhancements, potential follow-on REV products, and sourcing, qualification and testing of Consumer Products and other products.

Marketing

Our worldwide marketing objective is to build Iomega brand and product awareness and to generate demand for our products and services. Our marketing efforts are focused on the positioning and messaging of our products, software and services to enhance the value of the Iomega brand.

We deliver brand and product-specific messages to a variety of segments including consumers, business decision makers and Information Technology (“IT”) professionals through public relations efforts, tradeshows and events, direct marketing, internet marketing and our www.iomega.com website. These awareness-generating activities are enhanced with demand stimulus programs and promotions, such as in-store, direct mail or e-mail offers, through distribution, reseller, DMR, retail and service-provider channel partners.

In addition, to enhance our ability to serve the small- to medium-sized businesses segment, we continue to actively recruit qualified VAR partners to sell our REV and NSS products. These VAR partners are supported through our IPartner and IoClub™ online initiatives, which are company sponsored groups, with marketing programs, training and sales materials.

Sales

We sell our products primarily through computer product and consumer electronic distributors, retailers, DMRs, VARs and on our own website. We sell our services through telecom resellers, distributors and on our own website. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 7 of Part II and Note 12 of the notes to consolidated financial statements for financial information about our business segments as well as a description of the markets served by our respective products.

Our CSS business is typically strongest during the fourth quarter. Our European sales are typically weaker during the summer months due to holidays. There can be no assurance that any historic sales patterns will continue and, as a result, sales for any prior period are not necessarily indicative of the sales to be expected in any future period.

Retail Sales

Retail outlets for our products include computer superstores, consumer electronic superstores, mail order DMRs, office supply superstores, specialty computer stores and other retail outlets. In the U.S. and Europe, we sell our products to retail channels directly, as well as indirectly through distributors. In Asia and Latin America, we sell our products indirectly to the retail channel through distributors. Certain of our products are sold at a retail level by a number of the leading retailers of computer products.

BUSINESS (Continued)

Sales (Continued)

Distributors

We sell our products through approximately fifty distributors throughout the world, the largest customer being Ingram Micro, Inc.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, sales to Ingram Micro, Inc. accounted for 24% of our consolidated sales. The loss of this customer would have a material adverse effect on us.

Company Website

We offer our products, including various promotional items, through our www.iomega.com website.

International Sales

We sell our products in Europe, Asia and South America through international and local distributors. In the third quarter of 2006, we began selling direct to certain retail customers in Europe. We have sales and marketing organizations in several locations in Western Europe and Asia. The majority of sales to European customers are denominated in Euros. All sales to customers in South America and Asia are denominated in U.S. dollars. In total, sales outside of the United States were 74% for 2007, 62% for 2006 and 55% for 2005. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 7 of Part II and Note 12 of the notes to consolidated financial statements for more information on international sales.

OEMs and Licensees

In addition to sales through retail and distribution channels, we have entered into a number of agreements with a variety of OEMs within the computer industry. We have entered into agreements with several small OEMs regarding REV internal drives.

During the fourth quarter of 2004, we entered into a definitive license agreement regarding our DCT intellectual property. The license agreement terms included an upfront cash payment of $10.5 million to us and an additional fixed $3.5 million cash payment to us at a later date based upon the earlier of licensee’s commercialization date of the technology or November of 2007. The $10.5 million was reflected as a benefit to operating expenses on the consolidated statement of operations under the caption, “license and patent fee income” in 2004. We recognized the $3.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 when the related cash payment was received.

During 2005, we entered into a patent agreement, whereby we received $0.4 million and the possibility of future additional royalties related to specific patents. There is no guarantee of future payments.

During 2006, we entered into certain additional patent agreements, whereby we received a total of $1.1 million and the possibility of future additional royalties related to specific patents. There is no guarantee of future payments.

IOMEGA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

BUSINESS (Continued)

OEMs and Licensees (Continued)

During 2007, we entered into and also received payments under certain patent agreements, whereby we received a total of $0.5 million. Additionally, we received a payment of $3.5 million under the 2004 DCT License Agreement.

Supply Chain

We outsource all manufacturing and certain supply chain operations. In recent years, we have changed suppliers and focused significant efforts on distribution and logistics. During 2005, we transferred the distribution and logistics operations for Asia to the same logistics partner used in our other regions to consolidate logistic vendors. During 2006, we transferred our reverse logistics services to our distribution and logistics provider to consolidate with one worldwide provider. The contract with that distribution and logistics partner expired in mid-2007. In the second quarter of 2007, in an effort to further reduce operating costs, we changed to a different global distribution, logistics and reverse logistics partner.

In 2008, we will continue placing substantial focus on our supply chain and supply base to best support business objectives. These changes may include changes to the supply chain model and the supply base.

As the Zip product line reaches its expected end of life, we have been making last time purchases for many of the product components and are winding down component production operations at various suppliers. The third-party manufacturing of Zip drives is expected to continue through the first quarter of 2008 and disk production is expected to continue through the end of 2008. During 2005, we entered into a last-time-buy agreement with our supplier for the flexible magnetic media used to make Zip disks and the Zip magnetic media production line has since closed down.

Although we believe we are positioned to obtain an adequate supply of our products in the future, we may encounter future difficulties in achieving desired levels of product, in managing relationships with our suppliers or in locating suppliers able to meet our quality, quantity, pricing and other requirements for manufactured products.

IOMEGA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

BUSINESS (Continued)

Supply Chain (Continued)

Components and Sourced Products

Although we have outsourced our manufacturing capabilities, we have retained responsibility for the supply of certain key components for our Zip, REV and hard drive based products. See the caption entitled “Company Operations, Components Supplies and Inventory” in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more details concerning components and sourced products.

Backlog

We had an order backlog of approximately $26 million at December 31, 2007 and approximately $9 million at December 31, 2006. The entire December 31, 2007 order backlog is expected to be filled early in 2008; however, the purchase agreements or purchase orders pursuant to which orders are made generally allow the customer to cancel orders without penalty.

Competition

Consumer Products

Our Consumer Products compete with a broad variety of data storage devices. In many cases, these competing devices are similar to our products. For example, we sell external HDD drives, CD-RW drives, DVD rewritable drives and floppy drives. A number of manufacturers (including our suppliers) and competitors make and sell products that are substantially similar to our products in these areas. We compete with these manufacturers and resellers on several factors such as price, performance, brand recognition, quality, customer support, channel presence, support and software/accessories included with the drives. Given these competitive factors, we are subject to significant supply risk and situations where the manufacturer can under-price us in the market. We attempt to differentiate our non-Zip Consumer Products with our brand and software, interface, usability and other features, but can provide no assurance that we will be able to continue to successfully do so.

By contrast, we are not aware of any product that shares the specific characteristics of our Zip drives and disks (affordable, removable, flexible, magnetic media with capacities ranging up to 750MB). Nevertheless, all of the substitute products identified above compete with our Zip products in areas identified above. Other products competing with our Consumer Products include internal hard drives, magnetic cartridge disk drives (that use either floppy or rigid media), magnetic tape drives and magneto optical drives. Given the wide variety of competing personal storage products in the market, we expect that Zip sales will continue to decline and will be significantly less in 2008 as compared to 2007.

To the extent that our Consumer Products are used for incremental primary storage capacity, they compete with non-removable media storage devices such as conventional hard disk drives, which continue to offer increasing capacity and reliability at reduced prices. In addition, one of the key features offered by our Consumer Products, the ability to transport electronic data, is increasingly fulfilled by various internet applications. Thus, our Consumer Products compete with a variety of internet applications with respect to moving and sharing files.

IOMEGA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

BUSINESS (Continued)

Competition (Continued)

Business Products

REV products face significant competition from a variety of technologies, including the following: entry-level and low-end magnetic tape drives; external HDDs; optical-based products incorporating either recordable or rewritable CD or DVD technology, including new products based on Blu-Ray and similar high-capacity optical storage technologies and magneto-optical technologies.

Network Storage Solutions products compete with other NAS products as well as traditional methods for increasing storage on network servers, such as additional hard drives, tape drives/tapes, storage area network (“SAN”), general-purpose servers (“GPS”) and direct attached storage (“DAS”) that are connected to the system. We believe that NAS products offer a more compelling product solution than DAS or the purchase of an incremental server by being less costly per GB, more efficiently enabling workgroup file sharing, being fast and easy to deploy, and having a lower total cost of ownership because there are no applications running on the device.

We compete primarily in the entry-level and low-end of the NAS market. The key competitors in these two categories include Dell, Snap Appliance, Buffalo Technology, LaCie, Netgear and Hewlett-Packard (“HP”). We intend to compete by providing home users and small businesses relevant features; competitive pricing; brand recognition; strong relationships in the retail, VAR and DMR channels; quality; customer support and strong sourcing relationships. Given that we are sourcing substantially complete products from a limited number of sources, some of whom sell products that compete with ours, we are subject to significant hardware supply risks.

Managed Services

Iomega OfficeScreen Managed Services compete with a variety of managed service providers, though no two service providers offer the same hardware, engineering and services. As our solution utilizes Juniper^® Networks hardware, we also find ourselves in the position of competing with appliance manufacturers that offer managed services programs. Finally, the services we provide often replace legacy connectivity solutions, such as private line and frame relay, which can also be considered competition. Competitors include IBM, Sonicwall and Fortinet.

OfficeScreen Services differentiate themselves in a variety of ways, including the fact that they were designed for the small/medium business (“SMB”). With OfficeScreen Services, the services are easily scalable; the SMBs do not incur any capital expenditures or need any network security expertise, making this a solution that is feasible considering their limited resources. Finally, when compared to legacy connectivity options, OfficeScreen Services are just as secure, but much more affordable.

IOMEGA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

BUSINESS (Continued)

Competition (Continued)

Conclusion

Since the majority of our current business relates to HDD products, we believe that in order to compete successfully, we must continually reduce our product costs and operating costs of doing business. During 2007 and 2006, we continued our efforts to optimize the supply chain to gain cost efficiencies, speed time to market and better serve our customers. Through these and other actions, we are continuing to focus on reducing the costs of our products by reducing the cost of components used in our products through improved procurement processes and inventory management, product design modifications and by taking advantage of industry-wide reductions in costs and decreasing defect rates. We continually evaluate our prices and, based on continuous competition, expect to reduce product prices or offer rebates in the future. Reductions in the prices at which we sell our products or any rebates offered by us would adversely affect gross margins to the extent such reductions or rebates are not offset by reductions in the cost of such products.

We believe that in order to compete successfully, we will also need to differentiate our products from the competition through branding, speed to market, a wide-variety of attractive and unique designs, ease of use, and effective marketing and advertising portraying the benefits of our products and embedded software.

We believe that most consumers distinguish among competitive data storage products on the basis of some or all of the following criteria: price (cost per unit and cost per MB or GB of storage capacity), performance (speed and capacity), functionality (reliability, product size, removability and transportability), brand, design, broad market adoption and standardization of the technology across many devices, ease of installation and use, perceived functionality and utility, and security of data. Additional competitive considerations, particularly in the OEM market, are the size (form factor) of the drive and the interface type with which the drive is compatible.

The data storage industry is highly competitive and we expect that the industry will remain highly competitive in the future. In addition, the data storage industry is characterized by rapid technological development. We compete with many companies that are also our suppliers and certain of these suppliers have greater financial, manufacturing and marketing resources than we do. There are minimal barriers of entry to the external HDD and entry-level NAS markets and the availability of competitive products with superior performance, functionality, ease of use, security or substantially lower prices can have an immediate adverse affect on our business.

Proprietary Rights

We rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and contractual provisions to protect our technology. We have pending approximately 14 U.S. and foreign patent applications relating to various technology including REV drives and disks, hard drives, optical drives and various software applications, although there can be no assurance that such patents will be issued. We hold approximately 400 individually or jointly owned issued or pending U.S. and foreign patents relating to our Zip and REV drives and disks, Optical drives, flexible media technology, software applications and other technologies. Some of these patents and patent applications are subject to license agreements with third parties. Additionally, several of the patents have expired but could still be applicable for enforcing prior infringements. There can be no assurance that any patents or other intellectual property rights obtained or held by us will provide substantial value or protection to us, that they will prevent or impede a third party from developing competing products or that their validity will not be challenged or that affirmative defenses to infringement will not be asserted.

We have various registered trademarks in the United States, several of which are also registered trademarks in other countries.

Due to the rapid technological change that characterizes our industry, we believe that the success of our products will also depend on the technical competence and creative skill of our personnel in addition to legal protections afforded our existing drive and disk technologies.

As is typical in the data storage industry, we are regularly notified of alleged claims that we may be infringing certain patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights of third parties. It is not possible to predict the cost of litigation, potential damages or outcome of such claims and there can be no assurance that such claims will be resolved in our favor. An unfavorable resolution of one or more of such claims could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial results.

Certain technology used in, or software bundled with, our products is licensed on a royalty-bearing basis from third parties. The termination of a license arrangement could materially impact our business until a work around or suitable substitute were found.

Employees

At December 31, 2007, we employed 243 individuals worldwide. Four of our employees in Italy are subject to a collective bargaining agreement.

Government Contracts

No material portion of our business is subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts at the election of the United States government.

Environmental Matters

Compliance with federal, state and local environmental protection laws had no material effect on us in 2007 and is not expected to have a material effect in 2008. We ceased selling Zip drives and certain other products containing lead to distributors or resellers in the EU starting July 1, 2006, in the wake of RoHS lead-free initiative.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS:

Demand for Our Products and Services and Operating Efficiencies

Our future operating results will depend upon our ability to develop or acquire new products or services and to operate profitably in an industry characterized by intense competition, rapid technological advances and low margins. This, in turn, will depend on a number of factors, including:

•

Our ability to improve and/or sustain satisfactory HDD gross margins;

•

Our ability to avoid disruptions to our ongoing business as we evaluate and implement strategic investments, including the completion and integration of our recently announced acquisition of ExcelStor Group;

•

Our ability to generate significant sales and profit margin from REV and NAS products;

•

Our ability to replace declining Zip revenues and profits with revenues and profits from other products;

•

Worldwide market conditions and demand for digital storage products and other products we continue to add as we move forward;

•

Our success in meeting targeted availability dates for new and enhanced products;

•

Our ability to develop and commercialize new intellectual property and to protect existing intellectual property;

•

Our ability to maintain profitable relationships with our distributors, retailers and other resellers;

•

Our ability to maintain an appropriate cost structure;

•

Our ability to attract and retain competent, motivated employees;

•

Our ability to comply with applicable legal requirements throughout the world;

•

Our ability to utilize reliable outsource partners for certain critical functions at prices that keep us competitive and

•

Our ability to successfully manage litigation, including enforcing our rights, protecting our interests and defending claims made against us.

These factors are difficult to manage, satisfy and influence. Although we have recorded profits in the past six quarters, 2007 is the first year that we have been able to operate profitably on an annual basis since 2002 and we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to sustain profits in the future.

Zip Products

Zip products have accounted for the majority of our product operating income since 1997 and provided our only meaningful source of product operating income until 2007. However, Zip product sales have declined consistently and significantly on a year-over-year basis since peaking in 1999. These declines are expected to continue through the end of the Zip product life cycle, due to the general obsolescence of Zip technology and the emergence of alternate storage solutions. Given this continuing decline, we can offer no assurance that we will be able to maintain profitable operations on our Zip business in the future. Further, we will not be profitable unless we consistently generate significant product operating income from products other than Zip products. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to do so in the future.

IOMEGA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

RISK FACTORS (Continued)

REV Products

Future results of our REV products entail numerous risks relating to factors such as:

•

Our ability to launch the next generation of REV products on time;

•

Any lack of market acceptance of the next generation of REV products;

•

Failure to maintain acceptable arrangements with product suppliers, particularly in light of lower than anticipated volumes;

•

Manufacturing, technical, supplier, or quality-related delays, issues or concerns, including the loss of any key supplier or failure of any key supplier to deliver high quality products on time;

•

Intense competition;

•

The inability of our OEM partner in the broadcast industry, Thomson N.A., to achieve significant volumes of its recently launched products utilizing REV drives and disks;

•

Potential declines in demand for REV 35GB and 70GB products because of the launch of next generation REV products and

•

Risks that third parties may assert intellectual property claims against REV products.

Consumer Storage Solutions Products

Virtually all of our CSS products are commodity-type products, which are similar to many other widely available products. These competing products are marketed by both name-brand manufacturers and generic competitors; and we source hard drives from the same companies we compete with. Moreover, besides our trademarks, we own limited intellectual property relating to many of our CSS products. Consequently, this segment is characterized by intense competition, the frequent introduction of new products and upgrades for existing products, supply fluctuations and frequent end user price reductions, resulting in low gross margin percentages. In order to compete successfully, we must accurately forecast demand, closely monitor inventory levels, secure quality products, continuously drive down costs, meet aggressive product price and performance targets, create market demand for our brand and hold sufficient, but not excess, inventory. In light of these challenges, we can offer no assurance that we will achieve sustainable profitability on this segment. Additionally, in order to reduce the product costs of our HDD drives, we have changed our supply chain. We now have several low cost, manufacturers in Asia that assemble our drives. The raw drives are consigned to these vendors which increases our cash conversion cycle on these products. Due to a combination of the lower margins, the longer cash conversion cycle, and the growth of this business segment, there can be cash flow pressures.

Further, in their own effort to seek the highest margin possible, large retail customers seek levels of promotional funds or other consideration and benefits that may not be consistent with our profit goals; lower retail sales or higher selling expenses therefore can result from positions taken by large retailers.

Development, Introduction and Other Expansion of New Products and Services and New Revenue Streams

We believe that we must continually either develop or acquire the right to profitably sell new products or services in order to remain viable in the data storage industry. However, our efforts in this regard have frequently been unsuccessful. Since 1999, we have developed and/or acquired the right to market a variety of new products, but many initiatives have not delivered consistent, material profits.

IOMEGA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

RISK FACTORS (Continued)

We are spending significant resources attempting to develop new products. We may spend additional resources attempting to acquire the rights to new technologies or services, to fund development of such technologies or to otherwise differentiate existing products. We can provide no assurance that any of these expenditures will yield profits.

Product Manufacturing and Procurement

We have fully outsourced all manufacturing and have no direct control over the manufacturing processes of our products. This lack of control may increase quality or reliability risks and could limit our ability to quickly increase or decrease production rates.

Outsourced Distribution and Logistics

Because we have outsourced our distribution and logistics operations, we rely upon the computer systems, business processes and internal controls of our distribution and logistics services provider. These systems may develop communication, compatibility, control or reliability problems. In addition, we face risks of operational interruptions, missed or delayed shipments, unexpected price increases and inventory management risks. We have periodically experienced operational disruptions and in our 2004 Form 10-K, we reported a material weakness (subsequently remediated) in internal control over financial reporting due to some of these factors.

Company Operations, Component Supplies and Inventory

It is difficult to negotiate or maintain favorable pricing, supply, business or credit terms with our vendors, suppliers and service providers. We anticipate continued challenges in this area for the foreseeable future. Zip and REV products, as well as certain key components, are each manufactured by single manufacturers, which creates risks of disruption in the event of labor, quality or other problems at Zip or REV product manufacturers or certain key component manufacturers. In addition, product manufacturing costs may increase if we fail to achieve anticipated volumes. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully manage these risks.

As suppliers upgrade their components, they regularly “end of life” older components. As we become aware of an end of life situation, we attempt to make purchases to cover all future requirements or find a suitable substitute component. In such cases, we may not be successful in obtaining sufficient numbers of components, in finding a substitute or could purchase excess components. In summary, we can offer no assurance that we will be able to obtain a sufficient (but not excess) supply of components on a timely and cost effective basis. Our failure to do so would lead to a material adverse impact on our business.

Purchase orders for components or finished products are based on forecasted future sales requirements. It is difficult to estimate future product demand for new products or products with declining sales. Further, our customers frequently adjust their ordering patterns in response to factors such as inventory on hand, new product introductions, seasonal fluctuations, promotions, market demand and other factors. As a result, our estimates, when inaccurate, can result in excess or insufficient purchase commitments. We have recorded significant charges in the past relating to excess purchase commitments and inventory reserves and these charges can adversely affect our financial results. We may be required to take similar charges attributable to forecasting inaccuracies in the future.

IOMEGA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

RISK FACTORS (Continued)

ExcelStor Acquisition

Consummation of our proposed acquisition of ExcelStor will cause numerous and substantial changes at Iomega. The transaction will introduce management and various personnel to new challenges, including the need to integrate a foreign company into our public company processes and controls in order to meet the requirements of the SEC and Sarbanes-Oxley Act; the need for us to simultaneously launch additional sales of products obtained through this proposed acquisition and its related sister companies; and the need to overcome language and cultural differences between the employee populations at Iomega and ExcelStor. The two combining companies will be subject to various new or heightened duties that may apply as a result of the acquisition, including duties associated with ensuring that the new Chinese operations comply with those American laws that apply worldwide and duties of Iomega to comply with any applicable Chinese laws; numerous communications will have to be translated and communicated properly within the combined company so that policies and directives, or concerns and input, as well as recommendations and daily communications are all properly understood by teams of personnel speaking different languages, and IT systems will need to successfully communicate certain information (although the companies are expected to continue to maintain separate IT systems); various managers will have increased burdens as a result of their responsibilities spanning a larger international enterprise; and third parties may be more prone to raising legal claims against a bigger, higher profile target than if Iomega was a smaller company. These efforts to integrate the companies and successfully address all of these needs will involve execution and market risk all while Iomega faces intense competition; and there is no assurance that we will be successful in this new proposed endeavor. Additionally, there is no guarantee that the proposed acquisition will receive all of the required approvals necessary to allow the transaction to be completed. Further all potential strategic transactions involve a heightened risk of legal claims, disruption and unexpected costs.

Restructuring, Other Cost Reduction Activities and Retention of Key Personnel

We have initiated various restructuring actions in the past in conjunction with our desire to reduce costs and operate efficiently. Other restructuring actions may be necessary in the future. Our ability to retain key employees or our success at maintaining institutional knowledge and consistent application of controls may be adversely affected because of past or any future restructuring activities, if any occur.

Internal Control Reporting Compliance Efforts

Under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to include in each Annual Report a report on internal control over financial reporting.

We are always at risk that any future failure of our own internal controls, the controls of acquired companies or the internal control at any of our outsourcing partners could result in reported material weaknesses. Responsibility for the finance function for Europe has changed hands internally over the past year. We have many employees performing tasks they have not performed in the past, which could result in errors or lost knowledge. In addition, our proposed acquisition of ExcelStor Group could require development of new process controls, and will require the documentation and testing of their process controls. Although we continue to invest resources in Section 404 compliance activities, we can provide no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts to avoid reporting a future material weakness of internal control. Any such reported material weakness could have a material impact on our market capitalization, financial statements or have other adverse consequences.

IOMEGA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

RISK FACTORS (Continued)

Reporting of Channel Inventory and Product Sales by Channel Partners

We defer recognition of sales on estimated excess inventory in the distribution, retail and DMR channels. For this purpose, excess inventory is the amount of inventory that exceeds the channel’s four-week requirement as estimated by management. We rely on reports from our distributors and resellers to make these estimations. Although we have processes and systems checks in place to help reasonably ensure the accuracy of the reports, we cannot guarantee that the third-party data, as reported, will be accurate.

Concentration of Credit Risk

We market our products primarily through computer product distributors, retailers and OEMs. Accordingly, as we grant credit to our customers, a substantial portion of outstanding trade receivables are due from computer product distributors, certain large retailers and OEMs. If any one or a group of these customers’ receivable balances should be deemed uncollectible, it would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. As we sell fewer products through the U.S. retail channel, we have less leverage with such retailers and increased exposure to payment delays or other collection issues with retailers. Additionally, the retail market is very competitive and consolidating and, as a result, major retailers could reorganize, consolidate, go out of business, and any such events could impact our External HDD sales.

Intellectual Property Risks

Patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property infringement claims have been and may continue to be asserted against us at any time. Such claims could have a number of adverse consequences, including an injunction against current or future product shipments, liability for damages and/or royalties, indemnification obligations and significant legal expenses. We try to protect our intellectual property rights through a variety of means, including seeking and obtaining patents and trademarks, and through license, nondisclosure and other agreements. Any failure or inability to adequately protect our intellectual property rights could have material adverse consequences.

Legal Risks

We have entered into multiple agreements, including license, service, supply, resale, distribution, development and other agreements in multiple jurisdictions throughout the world. We are also subject to an array of regulatory and compliance requirements, including foreign legal requirements and a complex worldwide tax structure. In addition, we employ people throughout the world. Although we attempt to fulfill all of our obligations, enforce all of our rights and comply with all applicable laws and regulations under these agreements and relationships, our organization is complex and errors may occur.

We have been sued and may be sued, under numerous legal theories, including breach of contract, tort, product liability, intellectual property infringement and other theories. Such litigation, regardless of the outcome, may have an adverse effect upon our profitability or public perception.

IOMEGA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

RISK FACTORS (Continued)

Other Risk Factors

We are subject to risks associated with general economic conditions and consumer confidence. Any disruption in consumer confidence or general economic conditions including those caused by acts of war, natural disasters affecting key suppliers or key facilities, terrorism or other factors could affect our operating results. Significant portions of our sales are generated in Europe and, to a lesser extent, Asia. We invoice the majority of our European customers in Euros and invoice our North American, Asia and South American customers in U.S. dollars. Fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar that are not sufficiently hedged by international customers invoiced in U.S. dollars could result in lower sales and have an adverse effect on future operating results.

ITEM 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Overview

The CSS Products segment involves the worldwide distribution and sale of various storage devices including external hard disk drives (“HDD”), CD-RW drives, DVD rewritable drives and external floppy disk drives. The Zip Products segment involves the distribution and sale of Zip drives and disks to retailers, distributors, resellers and OEMs. We have ceased selling Zip drives to distributors or resellers in the European Union (“EU”) as of July 1, 2006, in the wake of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (“RoHS”) lead free initiative. Sales of Zip disks are continuing worldwide, including the EU. The REV Products segment involves the development, distribution and sale of REV products to retailers, distributors, OEMs and resellers throughout the world. The NSS Products segment consists primarily of the development, distribution and sale of network attached storage (“NAS”) servers and Network HDD drives (previously included in the CSS Products segment) in the entry-level and low-end network attached storage market. The Services segment consists of the operations of CSCI, Inc. (“CSCI”), including OfficeScreen^® solutions, systems integration, resale of e-mail security from a third party and Iomega services such as iStorage^TM (Iomega services were previously included in the Other Products segment). We acquired CSCI in August of 2006. CSCI’s OfficeScreen managed security services include managing firewalls and providing remote access for small businesses. The Other Products segment consists of license and patent fee income (not assigned to specific products) and products that have been discontinued or are otherwise immaterial, including Jaz^® disks and software products such as Iomega Automatic Backup software and other miscellaneous products.

Since 1996, the Zip Products segment has been the largest or a major contributor to our product operating income. As the Zip business has approached the end of its product lifecycle, we have sought other profitable sources of revenue to replace the declining high gross margin Zip revenue. In recent years, we have invested significant efforts and dollars on the development of the first and second generation REV products, which were launched in the April of 2004 and July of 2006, respectively. Sales of REV products have exceeded Zip product sales for the past several quarters; however, REV products are not as profitable due to several factors, including lower volumes, and lower margins on REV disks as compared to Zip disks.

In other efforts to replace the declining Zip business, we have launched and attempted to expand our CSS and NSS businesses profitably. Sales of the CSS business segment significantly exceeds Zip product sales. Our CSS business segment achieved operating profitability, for the first time, of $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 and $2.5 million for the full year ended December 31, 2007. The NSS segment’s profits have been up and down due to a shift in product mix towards the lower margin network HDD drives and desktop NAS servers and costs associated with launching new products.

We also acquired CSCI in August of 2006 and have signed a reseller agreement with a provider of e-mail security to expand our brand name into the services segment for small- to mid-sized companies. Although this segment has lost money due to marketing and other start-up costs, we continue to look for opportunities to grow this segment profitably. CSCI revenue increased during the fourth quarter of 2007. We began to approach incremental positive cash flows from this segment. We anticipate continued improvements in this segment due to the addition of new services. Additionally, this business is an annuity business whereby income is earned on a monthly basis over the term of the contract and therefore, the impact on the results of operations in not fully reflected immediately.

Overview (Continued)

On December 12, 2007, we announced that we entered into a definitive share purchase agreement to acquire ExcelStor Great Wall Technology Limited, a Cayman Islands company and Shenzhen ExcelStor Technology Limited, a PRC company (collectively, with their subsidiaries, “ExcelStor”). We will issue approximately 84 million shares of Iomega common stock in exchange for all outstanding ExcelStor common shares, representing in the aggregate 60% of the then fully diluted capitalization of Iomega, to be measured as of the closing date. The Boards of Directors of both Iomega and ExcelStor have unanimously approved the share purchase agreement. This share purchase agreement still needs to be approved by the Iomega shareholders, and prior to closing we will need approvals from U.S. government agencies and Chinese government agencies.

ExcelStor designs, develops, manufactures and provides advanced digital storage technologies. Their principal product lines include hard disk drives (“HDD”), security storage and external storage. ExcelStor markets its products primarily to OEMs as an electronics manufacturing services provider and also sells its own ExcelStor-branded products through distributors throughout the world.

ExcelStor was founded in 2001; and in seven years time, has become a profitable $800 million annual revenue entity that produces over 20 million single-platter hard drive products per year. Upon completion of this acquisition, the profitability of ExcelStor’s revenue stream is expected to be accretive to the “new” Iomega, creating a $1 billion-plus (in sales) company.

ExcelStor is well-known to us, having manufactured our REV products for the last four years. We are currently evaluating the opportunity to identify new product categories with ExcelStor sister companies, and to increase and diversify the kinds of products we bring to market. Assuming we finalize this deal in the middle of 2008, our hope is to bring new Iomega branded consumer electronic products to the western market by the end of 2008.

During the past couple of years, we have taken several steps to return our Company to profitability such as restructuring actions to reduce costs and simplify our organizational structure, the release of new HDD products and changes to our HDD product supply chain to reduce the cost of these products to allow us to be more competitive in the market place. Primarily as a result of the above actions, at December 31, 2007, we have recorded our sixth consecutive quarter of net income and fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth. The revenue growth is primarily a result of the HDD business, which remains extremely competitive. We made solid progress towards our previously stated goals for 2007 and set the stage for continued success in 2008.

At December 31, 2007, our total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and temporary investments were $63.6 million (see the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” discussion for more detail on the tax impacts of repatriating foreign cash). We believe our total cash, cash equivalents and temporary investments are sufficient to operate our ongoing business for at least one year. However, any material business acquisition would require funding through a stock offering and/or a loan; in the case of the ExcelStor transaction, we are using Iomega stock to buy ExcelStor.

Our goals for 2008 are: (1) to continue to grow and deliver sustained profitability; (2) to further increase the size of our HDD business and excel in the high-growth NAS market; (3) to launch and ramp the next generation of REV products and (4) to finalize the ExcelStor acquisition and begin to create a global consumer electronics company. Notwithstanding our recent accomplishments, there can be no assurance that we will achieve these goals.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Areas where significant judgments occur include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, price protection and rebate reserves, inventory valuation reserves, accrued excess purchase commitments, tax valuation allowances and tax contingencies, and impairment of goodwill and other intangibles. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

We have discussed the development and selection of the following critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors (“Audit Committee”) and the Audit Committee has reviewed these disclosures.

Revenue Recognition

We defer recognition of sales on estimated excess inventory in the distribution, retail and direct marketing reseller (“DMR”) channels. For this purpose, excess inventory is the amount of inventory that exceeds our channel’s four-week requirement as estimated by us. Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) and value-added resellers (“VARs”) customers are not considered to have excess inventory, as they usually do not carry more than four weeks of inventory. We estimate the distribution, retail and DMR channel’s four-week requirement based on inventory and sell-through amounts reported to us by our key customers in each channel, who make up the substantial majority of our sales in these channels. No adjustment is made for those customers that do not report inventory and sell-through information. This inventory and sell-through information is reported to us at the stock keeping unit (“SKU”) level. However, for purposes of our excess inventory calculation, this information is accumulated at the major product level (i.e. HDD 2.5 inch drives and HDD 3.5 inch drives, etc.). We use the last 13 weeks of reported sell-through information to calculate a weekly average, which is then used to estimate the channel’s four-week requirement. This estimate may not be indicative of four weeks of future sell-through. We defer sales and cost of sales associated with estimated excess channel inventory in our consolidated statements of operations, with the resulting offset being reflected in our consolidated balance sheets in margin on deferred revenue.

The table below shows the deferred sales and related cost of sales associated with estimated excess channel inventory.


	December 31,
	2007			2006
	(In thousands)
Deferred revenue	$	9,455		$	7,890
Deferred cost of sales		(7,518	)		(5,080	)

Margin on estimated channel inventory	$	1,937		$	2,810

The decrease in margin on higher, estimated channel inventory at December 31, 2007 reflects product mix changes in the channels away from high margin Zip products to lower margin HDD products.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Application of Critical Accounting Policies (Continued)

We believe that the accounting estimates related to excess channel inventory are “critical accounting estimates” because: (1) the reserve is highly susceptible to change from period to period due to the variability of the different inputs to the calculation of the reserve such as changes in the level of channel inventory and channel sell-through rates and (2) the material impact that changes in these inputs can have on sales, cost of sales and margin on deferred revenue. Excess channel inventory is a critical estimate for all segments of our business.

Since we have no material debt and adequate cash balances, we believe that changes in excess channel inventory accruals would not impact our liquidity.

Price Protection and Rebate Reserves

We have agreements with some of our direct and indirect customers which, in the event of a price decrease, allow those customers (subject to certain limitations) a credit equal to the difference between the price originally paid and the new decreased price on units in the customer’s inventory on the date of the price decrease not to exceed the number of units shipped to the customer for a specified time period prior to the price decrease. When a price decrease is anticipated, we establish reserves against gross trade receivables with the corresponding reduction in sales for estimated amounts to be reimbursed to qualifying customers. In addition, we record reserves at the time of shipment for estimated volume rebates and other estimated rebates given to consumers at the time of purchase from channel partners for which sales have been recognized. Estimates for rebates are based on a number of variable factors that depend on the specific program or product. These variables include the anticipated redemption rate of rebates, anticipated sales volumes in the channel, the perceived consumer value of the rebate and historical experience. Changes in any of these variables would have a direct impact on the amount of the recorded reserves. We use price protection and rebate programs in all of our segments and record the charges in our consolidated statements of operations against their respective segment.

We believe that the accounting estimates related to price protection and rebate programs are “critical accounting estimates” because: (1) the reserve is highly susceptible to change from period to period due to the assumptions made concerning redemption rates and other variables and (2) changes in this reserve can have a material impact on sales and trade receivables.

Price protection and rebate reserves have fluctuated in the past. For example, during 2005, $3.0 million of price protection and rebate reserves that were recorded in prior periods were released, as they were not claimed as originally estimated.

Reserves for volume and other rebates and price protection totaled $9.9 million at December 31, 2007 and $9.2 million at December 31, 2006 and are netted against trade receivables in our consolidated balance sheets. The increase in this reserve for 2007 was primarily a reflection of the growth in our HDD business (particularly in Europe) which is very competitive and requires more programs and price drops. We believe that the use of rebates will continue to be a significant part of our business strategy.

Since we have no material debt and adequate cash balances, we believe that changes in price protection and rebate accruals would not impact our liquidity.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies (Continued)

Inventory Valuation Reserves

We evaluate the carrying value of inventory on a quarterly basis to determine if the carrying value is recoverable at estimated selling prices (including known future price decreases). We include product costs and direct selling expenses in our analysis of inventory realization. To the extent that estimated selling prices do not exceed such costs and expenses, valuation reserves are established against inventories. In addition, we generally consider inventory that is not expected to be sold within established timelines, as forecasted by our material requirements planning system, as excess and thus appropriate inventory reserves are established through a charge to cost of sales.

We believe that the accounting estimates related to inventory valuation reserves are “critical accounting estimates” because: (1) the reserve is highly susceptible to change from period to period due primarily to estimating future sales volumes of products and future sales prices, (2) the competitive nature of the technology industry which can quickly change the price of our products in the market place or the overall demand for our products and (3) changes in the value of inventory can have a material impact on cost of sales and inventory valuation reserves.

Inventory valuation reserve adjustments are necessitated primarily from changes in estimating future sales volumes and from changes in the estimates made of future sales prices. Estimating future sales volumes is particularly difficult for new products and end-of-life (“EOL”) products. Estimating future sales prices is particularly difficult on CSS products due to price competition and short product cycles.

Zip products have shown a long market life compared to our other products. In light of their high margins, its inventory carrying value has been recoverable at estimated selling prices. Consequently, Zip products have not, until recently, been as susceptible to inventory valuation reserve requirements as some of our other products. Now, as Zip products reach the end of their product life cycle, Zip products and components have become susceptible to excess and obsolete inventory reserves. If Zip volumes decline at a quicker rate or in greater volumes than forecasted, the risk associated with inventory valuation reserves will increase.

During 2007, we recorded a net increase in inventory valuation reserves of $1.5 million. The $1.5 million increase was comprised of net additions of $2.0 million less utilizations of $0.5 million as described below. The $2.0 million of net additions to inventory valuation reserves were comprised of $1.4 million of net additions for CSS products, $0.5 million of net additions for Zip products and $0.1 million of net additions for REV products. The $0.5 million inventory reserve utilizations were comprised of $0.4 million for CSS products (primarily HDD) and $0.1 million for Zip as products were sold or scrapped.

During 2006, we recorded a net decrease in inventory valuation reserves of $5.0 million. The $5.0 million decrease was comprised of net additions of $0.1 million less utilizations of $5.1 million as reserved products were scrapped or sold. The $0.1 million of net additions to inventory valuation reserves were comprised of $0.3 million of net additions for CSS products, partially offset by $0.1 million of net releases for Zip products and $0.1 million of net releases for REV products. The $0.3 million of CSS products charges related primarily to write downs of HDD inventory to market costs, partially offset by HDD products that we determined could be re-worked and sold that had previously been considered excess.

IOMEGA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Application of Critical Accounting Policies (Continued)

The $5.1 million inventory reserve utilizations were comprised of $4.4 million for Zip products and $0.7 million for CSS products (primarily HDD) as products were sold or scrapped. The Zip products utilization related primarily to Zip product components scrapped in the first quarter of 2006.

At December 31, 2007, we had inventory valuation reserves of $2.7 million, which compares to inventory valuation reserves of $1.2 million at December 31, 2006. The increase of $1.5 million in inventory valuation reserves during 2007 was primarily attributable to net additions in the reserves as described above.

Adjustments to inventory reserves are non-cash adjustments and would not affect our liquidity.

Accrued Excess Purchase Commitments

The purchase orders under which we buy many of our products generally extend one to three quarters in the future. The quantities on the purchase orders are based on forecasted future sales requirements. It is difficult to estimate future product demand for new products or products with declining sales. Such estimates may result in excess purchase commitments, where we make commitments for purchases that we do not ultimately utilize. The accrual for excess purchase commitments also includes liabilities such as cancellation charges or handling fees incurred because of excess supplier inventory or equipment.

With the continuing decline of Zip volumes and lower REV volumes than expected, this has become an area of particular risk for us. Suppliers of certain critical components of both Zip drives and disks have stopped producing, or EOL’d, such components and other suppliers are planning to do so. In such cases, we attempt to make an EOL purchase of the required component(s) based on our estimates of all future requirements. We have also experienced supplier claims on our REV products related to non-recurring engineering charges incurred by our suppliers and components purchased by our supplier for volume growth that has not materialized. With respect to estimating excess purchase commitments, we are at risk that we will order excess quantities of key components or that certain suppliers may produce excess inventory of key components in the absence of firm orders from us, leading to potential disputes regarding payment obligations.

We believe that the accounting estimates related to accrued excess purchase commitments are “critical accounting estimates” because: (1) the reserve is highly susceptible to change from period to period due primarily to estimating future sales volumes of products, (2) the inherent difficulty of estimating future requirements or final build-out of components that have been EOL’d by the supplier and (3) decisions to discontinue projects with suppliers.

During 2007, we recorded a net decrease in excess purchase commitment reserves of $2.7 million. This decrease was comprised of $1.0 million of net releases and $1.7 million of utilizations. The net releases of $1.0 million resulted primarily from $0.8 million in REV products, $0.1 million in Zip products and $0.2 million in CSS products that are partially offset by a $0.1 million addition for NSS products. The $1.7 million of utilizations resulted primarily from $1.0 million for REV products, $0.6 million for CSS products and $0.1 million for Zip products.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Application of Critical Accounting Policies (Continued)

During 2006, we recorded a net increase in excess purchase commitment reserves of $0.7 million. This increase was comprised of $2.2 million of additions less utilizations of $1.5 million. The additions of $2.2 million resulted from $2.1 million for REV products and $0.1 million for CSS products. The $1.5 million of utilizations resulted primarily from $1.1 million for Zip products, $0.2 million for CSS products and $0.2 million for REV products.

Since we have no material debt and adequate cash balances, we believe that changes in accrued excess purchase commitments would not impact our liquidity.

Tax Valuation Allowances and Tax Contingencies

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“FASB 109”) requires that a valuation allowance be established when management determines that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. We evaluate the realizability of our net deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and valuation allowances are provided or released, as necessary. During this evaluation, we review our forecasts of income in conjunction with other positive and negative evidence surrounding the realizability of our deferred tax assets to determine if a valuation allowance is required. Additionally, the FASB Financial Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB 109 (“FIN 48”), requires us to evaluate potential tax exposures related to our federal, state and foreign tax positions and provide reserves if it is likely that we would receive an assessment during a tax examination. Adjustments to the valuation allowance or tax contingencies will increase or decrease our tax provision or benefit.

We believe that the accounting estimates related to deferred tax valuation allowances and tax contingencies are “critical accounting estimates” because: (1) the need for valuation allowances is highly susceptible to change from period to period due to changes in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances, (2) the need for valuation allowances is susceptible to actual operating results, (3) the need for tax contingencies is highly susceptible to changes in tax rules and complexity of tax rules and transactions and (4) changes in the tax valuation allowance and/or tax contingencies can have a material impact on the tax provision/benefit in the consolidated statements of operations and on deferred income taxes and tax contingencies in the consolidated balance sheets.

For example, during 2007, we recorded a $2.4 million increase in the valuation allowance resulting primarily from increases in deferred tax assets and partially offset by increases in deferred tax liabilities. Included in the $2.4 million increase in the valuation allowance was a $5.6 million increased valuation allowance resulting from increases in the net operating loss (“NOL”) and credit carryforwards and deferred tax assets related to inventory and accrued expenses. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the valuation allowance as the result of increases in the deferred tax liabilities of $3.2 million related to an increase in the pool of unrepatriated foreign earnings. In addition, we released $1.8 million of tax contingency reserves related to foreign tax exposures for which the statutes of limitations expired in the second and fourth quarters of 2007.

Additionally, during 2006, we recorded a $6.3 million decrease in the valuation allowance resulting primarily from decreases in deferred tax assets and partially offset by decreases in deferred tax liabilities.

IOMEGA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Application of Critical Accounting Policies (Continued)

Included in the $6.3 million decrease in the valuation allowance was a $15.9 million decreased valuation allowance resulting from decreases in the NOL and credit carryforwards and deferred tax assets related to inventory and accrued expenses. We also released $9.5 million of foreign tax contingencies. See Note 4 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Adjustments to deferred tax valuation allowances are non-cash adjustments and do not affect our cash flows. Since we have no material debt and adequate cash, we believe that changes in tax contingencies would not impact our liquidity.

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangibles

We have $9.8 million of goodwill and $0.8 million of other intangibles associated with the CSCI acquisition. We have determined that the appropriate reporting unit to evaluate the goodwill from the CSCI acquisition is our Services segment. We perform our annual impairment test required under SFAS No. 142, “Accounting for Goodwill and Intangible Assets” (“FASB 142”) in the fourth quarter of each year. We have performed the impairment test required under FASB 142 for the goodwill related to the CSCI acquisition and have determined that it was not impaired at December 31, 2007. This test compared our Services segment specific assets to the estimated future, discounted cash flows to determine if these cash flows will cover the assets. We will continue to test the CSCI goodwill for impairment annually.

Zip cash flows continued their expected decline in 2007. As of July 1, 2007, there was no remaining goodwill related to Zip specific assets, as it had been fully written off. During 2007 and 2006, we recorded goodwill impairment charges on our Zip-related goodwill of $3.0 million and $8.7 million, respectively.

We believe that the accounting estimates related to assessing potential impairment of our goodwill and other intangibles are “critical accounting estimates” because: (1) the subjectivity inherent in determining the fair value of our Services segment and (2) the impact that future impairment charges will have on the consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated balance sheets.

Future goodwill or other intangibles impairment charges will be non-cash charges and will not affect our cash flows.

ByteTaxi, Inc. Termination Agreement, Gain on Sale and Losses from Discontinued Operations

In the first quarter of 2005, we acquired a 10% ownership interest in ByteTaxi, Inc. (“ByteTaxi”), a start-up software development company, with an option to purchase up to 29% of the company. Under the agreement, we received exclusive license rights to certain products, including ByteTaxi’s FolderShare^TM software. Because we were the primary beneficiary of ByteTaxi’s operations, we were required to consolidate ByteTaxi’s operations under FIN No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”). While consolidated under FIN 46, ByteTaxi was reported under the CSS product segment.

During the fourth quarter of 2005, we reached an agreement to sell our investment in ByteTaxi. Specifically, on October 28, 2005, Iomega, ByteTaxi and certain major shareholders of ByteTaxi entered into a Termination Agreement, under which we would receive a total of $2.9 million (payable as described below) in return for the sale of our equity ownership of ByteTaxi and termination of our distribution rights to FolderShare^TM software. This Agreement was part of a larger series of transactions whereby Microsoft Corporation purchased all of the stock of ByteTaxi. We received a cash payment of $2.4 million on October 28, 2005 and the remaining funds were to be paid during the fourth quarter of 2006, subject to the satisfaction of certain escrow and indemnity terms. The escrow and indemnity provisions related to customary representations and warranties by selling shareholders relating to title, intellectual property issues, tax liabilities or other post-closing adjustments.

During the fourth quarter of 2006, we received the final payment of $0.4 million from the escrow account. This was presented on the income statement as income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, of $0.3 million.

Upon the sale of our ownership interest in ByteTaxi, we ceased to be the primary beneficiary of ByteTaxi’s operations. Consequently, ByteTaxi was deconsolidated at December 31, 2005, as per FIN 46. Under SFAS Statement No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“FASB 144”), the sale of ByteTaxi was treated as a discontinued operation. Therefore, the losses from discontinued operations of ByteTaxi for the nine months ended October 2, 2005 and the gain relating to the sale of ByteTaxi have been reported under the discontinued operations section of our consolidated statements of operations.

The ByteTaxi losses from discontinued operations during 2005 and related taxes are presented as follows:

Restructuring Charges/Reversals

At December 31, 2007, we have no restructuring reserves remaining. Prior to that, we had reserves under five different restructuring actions: the 2006 restructuring actions, the 2005 restructuring actions, the 2004 restructuring actions, the 2003 restructuring actions and the third quarter 2001 restructuring actions. The following table summarizes the reserve balances related to each of these restructuring actions.

During 2001, we recorded $33.1 million (net of a $0.2 million reversal in the fourth quarter of 2001) related to restructuring actions initiated during the third quarter of 2001.

During 2002, we had a net reversal of $2.4 million of previously recorded restructuring reserves. This $2.4 million net reversal was comprised of $2.0 million related to charges recorded for the 1999 restructuring actions and $0.4 million related to charges recorded for the third quarter 2001 restructuring actions.

During 2003, we recorded restructuring charges of $16.5 million, ($11.5 million recorded as restructuring charges and $5.0 million as cost of sales) of which $14.5 million was for restructuring actions initiated during the third quarter of 2003 and $2.1 million was associated with restructuring actions initiated during the third quarter of 2001 related to lease expenses for facilities which we had been unable to sublease, partially offset by a $0.1 million release of severance and benefit reserves related to the third quarter 2001 restructuring actions due to original estimates being higher than what was utilized.

During 2004, we recorded net restructuring charges of $4.5 million, of which $3.7 million was for restructuring actions initiated during the third quarter of 2004, $0.1 million was for the 2003 restructuring actions and $0.7 million was for the third quarter 2001 restructuring actions.

During 2005, we recorded net restructuring charges of $7.6 million, of which $5.7 million was for restructuring actions initiated during the third quarter of 2005, $0.5 million was for the 2004 restructuring actions, $1.1 million was for the 2003 restructuring actions and $0.3 million was for the third quarter 2001 restructuring actions.

During 2006, we recorded net restructuring charges of $3.5 million which consisted of a $3.0 million net charge for restructuring actions initiated during the first and second quarters of 2006, a $0.1 million net release for the 2005 restructuring actions, a $0.2 million release for the 2004 restructuring actions and a $0.9 million net charge for the third quarter 2001 restructuring actions.

During 2007, we recorded a net restructuring release of $0.3 million which consisted of less than a $0.1 million net release for the 2006 restructuring actions, a $0.2 million net release for the 2005 restructuring actions, less than a $0.1 million release for the 2004 restructuring actions, less than a $0.1 million release for the 2003 restructuring actions and less than a $0.1 million release for the third quarter 2001 restructuring actions.

The detail of the third quarter 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 restructuring actions and an update of the current status of each of these actions as of December 31, 2007 follows below.

Third Quarter 2001 Restructuring Actions

During the third quarter of 2001, we recorded restructuring charges of $33.3 million. In the fourth quarter of 2001, we recorded a net reversal of $0.2 million with respect to the third quarter 2001 restructuring actions. The restructuring charges in the third quarter of 2001 included $17.4 million associated with exiting lease facilities—of which $9.8 million related to leasehold improvements, furniture and information technology asset write-downs and $7.6 million was associated with lease termination costs, and $15.9 million related to the reduction of 1,234 regular and temporary personnel worldwide, or approximately 37% of our worldwide workforce. During the fourth quarter of 2001, we reversed $0.5 million related to lease termination costs and recorded additional charges of $0.3 million related to severance and benefits with respect to employees that were identified as part of the third quarter 2001 restructuring actions but who were not notified of their termination until the fourth quarter of 2001.

Of the $33.3 million in total third quarter 2001 restructuring charges, $27.9 million related to restructuring activities within North America, $2.6 million for restructuring activities within the Asia Pacific region (excluding Malaysia), $2.3 million for restructuring activities within Europe and $0.5 million for restructuring activities within Malaysia. Of the $33.3 million of restructuring charges, $23.5 million was for cash charges and $9.8 million was for non-cash charges.

The North America restructuring activities consisted of outsourcing our distribution center in North Carolina and terminating the related lease, closing several sales offices in the United States and consolidating operations at our North America facilities (primarily Roy, Utah), all of which resulted in a workforce reduction of 760 regular employees and temporary staff across all business functions and across all levels of the organization. At September 30, 2001, of the 760 individuals whose positions were identified for termination in the third quarter of 2001, 193 individuals were scheduled to continue to work on a transition basis through various identified dates ending no later than December 31, 2001.

Restructuring Charges/Reversals (Continued)

Transition pay was not a part of the restructuring charges but rather was reported in normal operations as incurred. In compliance with the WARN Act, affected employees were given pay in lieu of a 60-day advance notice. Pay in lieu of notice was paid on a continuous basis for a 60-day notice period and separation payments were paid in lump sum at the end of the 60-day period or after the last day of employment for transition employees. Separation pay was based on years of service, job level and transition time, and included health insurance continuance payments. This workforce reduction resulted in charges of $12.7 million for severance and outplacement costs.

The North America restructuring actions also resulted in charges of $8.9 million related to asset write-downs (leasehold improvements, furniture and information technology assets) and $6.3 million related to lease termination costs. Lease termination costs were paid on their regular monthly rent payment schedule.

The Asia Pacific region restructuring activities consisted of the closure of several sales offices and the transfer of certain inventory operations and finance activities from Singapore to Malaysia, which resulted in a workforce reduction of 85 regular employees and temporary staff across all business functions and across all levels of the organization. At September 30, 2001, of the 85 individuals whose positions were identified for termination in the third quarter of 2001, 12 individuals were scheduled to continue to work on a transition basis through various identified dates ending no later than December 31, 2001. This workforce reduction resulted in charges of $0.8 million for severance and outplacement costs. The Asia Pacific region restructuring actions also resulted in charges of $0.7 million related to asset write-downs and $1.1 million related to lease termination costs.

During the fourth quarter of 2001, the 12 transition employees in the Asia Pacific region were notified that their positions were being terminated, resulting in additional charges of $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2001. These employees were identified for termination at September 30, 2001. However, since the employees had not been notified, we did not accrue the severance and benefit costs associated with these individuals in the original third quarter 2001 restructuring charges. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2001, $0.7 million of lease termination accruals were reversed due to us unexpectedly locating a tenant for one of the vacated facilities and being released from future rent obligations. In light of prevailing poor economic conditions, we had originally assumed we would not be able to sublease the facility.

The Europe restructuring activities consisted of the outsourcing of call center activities, closure of several market development offices and consolidation of operations in Switzerland and the Netherlands, which resulted in a workforce reduction of 94 regular employees and temporary staff across all business functions and across all levels of the organization. At September 30, 2001, of the 94 individuals whose positions were identified for termination in the third quarter of 2001, 28 individuals were scheduled to continue to work on a transition basis through December 31, 2001 and 21 individuals were scheduled to work on a transition basis through March 31, 2002 to manage operations that would be outsourced effective April 1, 2002. This workforce reduction resulted in charges of $1.9 million for severance and outplacement costs. The Europe restructuring actions also resulted in charges of $0.2 million related to asset write-downs and $0.2 million related to lease termination costs.

During the fourth quarter of 2001, we determined that an additional $0.2 million was required for Europe lease termination costs because of us not being able to locate a new tenant in Ireland in the timeframe originally estimated in the third quarter of 2001.

The Malaysia restructuring activities consisted of a workforce reduction of 295 regular employees across almost all business functions, the majority of which were direct labor employees. All of the 295 individuals whose positions were identified for termination were dismissed in the third quarter of 2001. This workforce reduction resulted in a charge of $0.5 million for severance and outplacement costs, all of which were paid during the third quarter of 2001.

2001 Activity/Changes in Third Quarter 2001 Restructuring Reserves

Remaining restructuring reserves of $8.9 million were included in our accrued restructuring charges and $3.6 million were included in the fixed asset reserves as of December 31, 2001. The third quarter 2001 restructuring charges originally totaled $33.3 million.

2002 Activity/Changes in Third Quarter 2001 Restructuring Reserves

During 2002, a net adjustment of $0.4 million to the third quarter 2001 restructuring actions was recorded ($1.2 million in releases and $0.8 million in additional accruals). During 2002, $1.0 million of fixed asset reserves were released comprised of $0.6 million relating to the North America restructuring actions that was reversed due to the furniture being utilized at another facility and another $0.4 million of fixed asset reserves were released primarily due to higher than expected proceeds from asset disposals relating primarily to the North America restructuring actions. Severance and benefit reserves of $0.2 million relating primarily to the North America and Asia Pacific restructuring actions were released due to outplacement services not being utilized as originally estimated. Additional charges of $0.8 million were recorded for Europe lease termination costs because of us not being able to locate a new tenant in Ireland in the timeframe previously estimated.

Remaining restructuring reserves of $4.0 million were included in our accrued restructuring charges and $0.4 million were included in our fixed asset reserves at December 31, 2002. Utilization of and other activity relating to the third quarter 2001 restructuring reserves during the year ended December 31, 2002 are summarized below.

2003 Activity/Changes in Third Quarter 2001 Restructuring Reserves

During 2003, severance and benefit reserves of $0.1 million were reversed due to the original estimates being higher than what was utilized. During 2003, we recorded an additional $0.9 million for Europe lease termination costs because of us not being able to locate a tenant for the Ireland facility. We also recorded an additional $1.2 million for North American lease termination costs as a result of us not being able to locate a tenant for a Utah facility.

Remaining restructuring reserves of $4.6 million were included in our accrued restructuring charges and $0.3 million were included in our fixed asset reserves at December 31, 2003.

In January of 2007, we finalized an agreement to assist a company to purchase the building we were leasing and they will occupy the building and release us from our remaining lease obligations. This resulted in an overall $0.6 million cash savings reflected in the release in the below table.

2003 Restructuring Actions

The $14.5 million of charges for the 2003 restructuring actions included $6.5 million for severance and benefits for 198 regular and temporary personnel worldwide, or approximately 25% of our worldwide workforce, $3.0 million to exit contractual obligations, $2.6 million to reimburse a strategic supplier for its restructuring expenses (see below for more detail), $1.8 million for lease termination costs and $0.6 million related to excess furniture.

Of the $14.5 million recorded for the 2003 restructuring actions, $5.0 million was charged to cost of sales with the remaining $9.5 million being shown as restructuring expenses as a component of operating expenses. The $5.0 million charged to cost of sales included $2.6 million to reimburse a strategic supplier for its restructuring expenses and $2.4 million to exit a third-party Zip disk manufacturing agreement. This $5.0 million was charged to our Zip product segment and the remaining $9.5 million was not allocated to any of our business segments. Of the $14.5 million in restructuring charges, all but the $0.6 million related to excess furniture will be paid in cash. During 2003, we made cash payments of $10.3 million related to these restructuring actions.

Of the $6.5 million severance and benefits charges for the 198 regular and temporary personnel, $4.0 million related to 150 employees located in North America, $2.1 million related to 31 employees located in Europe and $0.4 million related to 17 employees located in Asia. Our worldwide workforce reduction was across all business functions and across all levels and was in response to our continued sales decline. Of the 198 individuals worldwide whose positions were identified for elimination in the third quarter of 2003, 42 employees worked on a transition basis into the fourth quarter of 2003, 7 employees worked on a transition basis into the first quarter of 2004, 4 employees worked on a transition basis into the second quarter of 2004 and 3 employees worked on a transition basis into the third quarter of 2004. Transition pay was not a part of the restructuring charges but rather was reported in normal operations as incurred. Separation pay was based on years of service, job level and transition time, and included health insurance continuance payments.

IOMEGA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

Restructuring Charges/Reversals (Continued)

Separation payments were made after the last day of employment and after separation agreements were signed by the employees. The $6.5 million of severance and benefits costs recognized during 2003 included the costs associated with those employees whose positions were eliminated during 2003 and the ratable recognition of the severance and benefits costs to be paid to the 14 employees who remained on transition into 2004 as defined by SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“FASB 146”).

The $3.0 million of charges to exit contractual obligations included $2.4 million to discontinue a third-party manufacturing relationship as part of our efforts to consolidate our Zip disk manufacturing. The manufacturing contract was terminated because of continued declining Zip disk volumes. The $2.4 million charge was a negotiated amount based upon the net book value of manufacturing equipment that the third-party contractor had purchased to manufacture Zip disks, for which we were under contract to reimburse in the event of terminating the manufacturing agreement. Also included in the $3.0 million charges to exit contractual obligations was $0.5 million to exit an information technologies contract related to the maintenance and hosting of our servers and $0.1 million for other miscellaneous contract cancellations. The information technology maintenance function and hosting began to be performed by our employees within our facilities beginning in the first quarter of 2004.

The $2.6 million charge to reimburse a strategic supplier for its restructuring expenses related to restructuring charges incurred by a strategic supplier of our products in an effort to reduce product costs charged to us. Due to the continuing decline in sales of Zip products, we had requested the supplier to reduce their overhead costs. In order to induce the supplier to reduce its overhead costs to a level commensurate with current Zip drive volumes and at an accelerated rate compared to the overhead cost reductions called for in the contract between the parties, we agreed to reimburse the restructuring costs incurred by the supplier.

The $1.8 million in lease termination charges were primarily for facilities in the United States. We exited these facilities because of the lower headcounts. We also recorded $0.6 million for excess furniture from the exited facilities.

2004 Activity/Changes in 2003 Restructuring Reserves

The total separation payment liability for the 198 employees notified under the 2003 restructuring actions was $6.7 million. During 2004, we recorded an additional $0.5 million of restructuring expense related to the ratable recognition of the severance and benefits costs to be paid to the employees who remained on transition into 2004. However, during the first quarter of 2004, we also released $0.3 million of outplacement reserves as employee usage of outplacement resources was less than originally estimated.

2004 Restructuring Actions

During 2004, we recorded $3.7 million of restructuring charges for the 2004 restructuring actions, including $2.6 million of cash charges for severance and benefits for 108 regular and temporary personnel worldwide (approximately 19% of our worldwide workforce) who were notified by September 26, 2004 that their positions were being eliminated, $0.7 million of cash charges for lease termination costs and $0.4 million of non-cash charges related to excess furniture. All of the $3.7 million of restructuring charges recorded during 2004 were shown as restructuring expenses as a component of operating expenses. None of these restructuring charges was allocated to any of the business segments. The restructuring actions were part of an effort to align our cost structure with our expected future revenue levels.

In conjunction with the DCT license agreement signed during the fourth quarter of 2004, we notified an additional 9 employees that their positions were being eliminated. Severance and benefits charges for these 9 employees were included in the $2.6 million above. Another 24 employees were hired by the licensee of the DCT technology. This additional reduction in force of 33 employees brought the total reduction of employees to 141 positions, or approximately 25% of our worldwide workforce at September 26, 2004.

Of the $2.6 million in severance and benefits charges for the 117 regular and temporary personnel, $1.9 million was for 103 employees located in North America, $0.4 was for 9 employees located in Asia and $0.3 million was for 5 employees located in Europe. Our worldwide workforce reduction was across all business functions and across all levels. At December 31, 2004, of the 117 individuals worldwide, all but 15 had been released. All but one of these remaining 15 employees was scheduled to work on a transition basis through the first quarter of 2005, with the one employee working into the second quarter of 2005. Transition pay was not a part of the restructuring charges but rather was reported in normal operations as incurred. Separation pay was based on years of service and job level, and included health insurance continuance payments. Separation payments, for most employees, was made after the last day of employment after separation agreements had been signed by the employees except for those where continuous payments were legally required and for two other employees. The $2.6 million in severance and benefits costs recognized during 2004 included the costs associated with those employees whose positions were eliminated during 2004 and the ratable recognition of the severance and benefits costs, which were paid or will be paid to those employees who were on transition beyond the minimum retention period (60 days) as defined by FASB 146.

As part of the 2004 restructuring actions, we recorded a $0.4 million non-cash charge related to excess furniture that was no longer being utilized because of our continuing downsizing.

2006 Restructuring Actions

During 2006, we recorded $3.0 million of net restructuring charges for the 2006 restructuring actions. These charges included $2.7 million of cash charges for severance and benefits for approximately 90 personnel worldwide who were notified during the first and second quarters of 2006 that their positions were being eliminated, $0.2 million of cash charges for miscellaneous contract and lease cancellations and $0.1 million of non-cash charges related to excess furniture, leasehold improvements and other miscellaneous assets. The $3.0 million was shown as restructuring expenses as a component of operating expenses. None of these restructuring charges was allocated to any of our business segments. The restructuring actions were part of an effort to align our cost structure with our expected future revenue levels and to reorganize our Company from a focus on autonomous geographic regions and products to a simplified functional organization.

The worldwide workforce reduction was across all business functions and levels within Iomega. Of the 90 impacted personnel worldwide, approximately 20 employees worked on a transition basis into the third quarter of 2006, primarily in Europe due to legal notice requirements.

Business Segment Information

We have six reportable segments, which are organized into three business categories as follows:


Business Categories		Reportable Segments
Consumer Products		1. Consumer Storage Solutions
		2. Zip Products

Business Products		3. REV Products
		4. Network Storage Systems
		5. Services

Other Products		6. Other Products

Consumer Products

Our Consumer Products category is comprised of the Consumer Storage Solutions (“CSS”) segment and the Zip Products segment.

Our CSS segment involves the worldwide distribution and sale of various storage devices including external hard disk drives (“HDD”), CD-RW drives, DVD rewritable drives and external floppy disk drives. During the second half of 2005, we began to focus this segment primarily on HDD products.

The Zip Products segment involves the distribution and sale of Zip drives and disks to retailers, distributors, resellers and OEMs. We have ceased selling Zip drives to distributors or resellers in the EU as of July 1, 2006, in the wake of the RoHS lead free initiative. Sales of Zip disks continue worldwide, including the EU.

Business Products

Our Business Products category is comprised of the REV Products, the Network Storage Systems (“NSS”) and the Services segments.

Our REV Products segment involves the development, distribution and sale of REV products to retailers, distributors, OEMs and resellers throughout the world. The first generation REV drives, which began shipping in April of 2004, are removable hard disk storage systems with a native capacity of 35 gigabytes and up to 90GB of compressed capacity. We began shipping the REV 70GB products in July of 2006. The REV 70 Backup Drive doubles the capacity of our first generation REV products, resulting in 70GB of native capacity and up to 140GB of compressed capacity. We have developed and announced, in March of 2008, a next generation REV drive with 120GB native capacity per disk.

Our NSS segment consists primarily of the development, distribution and sale of NAS servers and Network HDD drives (which were previously reported under the CSS segment in the Consumer Products category) in the entry-level and low-end NAS market.

IOMEGA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Business Segment Information (Continued)

Our Services segment consists of the operations of CSCI, including OfficeScreen solutions and system integration, resale of e-mail security from a third party and Iomega services such as iStorage. We acquired CSCI in August of 2006; CSCI’s OfficeScreen managed security services include managing firewalls and providing remote access for small businesses. The Iomega services were previously reflected in the Other Products segment.

Other Products

Product Operating Income (Loss)

Product operating income is defined as sales and other income related to a segment’s operations, less both fixed and variable product costs, and direct and allocated operating expenses. Operating expenses are charged to the product segments on a direct method or as a percentage of sales. When such costs and expenses exceed sales and other income, this is referred to as a product operating loss. The accounting policies of the product segments are the same as those described in Note 1 of the notes to consolidated financial statements. Intersegment sales, eliminated in consolidation, are not material. Non-allocated operating expenses include restructuring charges and certain extraordinary expenses.

2007 As Compared to 2006

Sales

As shown in the table below, total sales for 2007 increased primarily due to higher CSS and NSS products sales.


	Years Ended December 31,
	2007		2006		$ Change			% Change
	(In thousands, except %)
Sales:
Consumer Products:
Consumer Storage Solutions Products	$	250,125	$	134,149	$	115,976		86	%

Total Sales	$	336,614	$	229,554	$	107,060		47	%

Sales of CSS products represented 74% of total sales for 2007, compared to 58% of total sales for 2006. The percentage of total sales increased in 2007 due primarily to the addition of new HDD products and our ability to maintain a competitive cost structure on these products. Our external hard drive business increased by $123.4 million, or 102%, over the prior year. This increase was partially offset by a $3.8 million decrease in Optical sales, a $2.8 million decrease in Micro Mini USB flash drive sales and a $0.9 million decrease in floppy drive sales. The lower Optical and Micro Mini USB sales are a result of our decision in mid-2005 to eliminate unprofitable SKUs in the Optical and Micro Mini USB flash product lines.

Zip product sales continued to decline in 2007, both in terms of units and sales dollars. Sales of Zip products represented 5% of total sales for 2007, compared to 14% of total sales for 2006. We expect Zip drive and disk sales to continue to decrease as Zip products approach the end of their product lifecycle. In addition, we have ceased selling Zip drives to distributors or resellers in the EU as of July 1, 2006, in the wake of the RoHS lead free initiative.

REV product sales represented 12% of total sales for 2007, compared to 19% of total sales for 2006. REV sales decreased by $4.2 million in 2007 from $42.8 million of sales in 2006.

2007 As Compared to 2006 (Continued)

NSS product sales represented 7% of total sales for 2007, compared to 8% of total sales for 2006. NSS product sales increased by $6.2 million in 2007, or 35%, when compared to the same period in 2006 due to the introduction of new products and growth of network HDD drives.

Services sales represented 2% of total sales for 2007, compared to 1% of total sales for 2006. This increase is primarily a result of our acquisition of CSCI in August of 2006, with 2007 representing a full calendar year of revenue.

Our sales by region for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 are shown in the table below.


	Years Ended December 31,
	2007			2006			$ Change			% Change
	(In thousands, except %)
Sales Dollars:
Europe	$	230,988		$	124,273		$	106,715		86	%
Americas (includes Latin America)		95,844			93,439			2,405		3

Percent of Total Sales:
Europe		69	%		54	%
Americas (includes Latin America)		28			41
Asia Pacific		3			5

Total		100	%		100	%

The increase in sales dollars in Europe was primarily due to higher CSS (HDD) and NSS product sales, partially offset by lower Zip, REV and Micro Mini USB product sales. The increase in sales dollars in the Americas was primarily due to increased CSS (HDD) product sales and services, offset by lower Zip and REV product sales. The decrease in sales dollars in the Asia Pacific region was primarily due to lower Zip, NSS, Optical and REV product sales, partially offset by higher HDD product sales.

Gross Margin

Our gross margin details for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 are shown in the table below.


	Years Ended December 31,
	2007			2006			$ Change		% Change
	(In thousands, except %)
Total gross margin (dollars)	$	60,256		$	46,212		$	14,044	30	%
Total gross margin (%)		18	%		20	%

Total gross margin dollars increased and the gross margin percentage decreased in 2007 primarily due to the growth in HDD drive product sales, offset by an expected decrease in Zip revenue, which carries a higher gross margin percentage than HDD drive products.

IOMEGA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

2007 As Compared to 2006 (Continued)

CSS product gross margins increased in terms of both dollars and percentage during 2007. The increase in gross margin dollars was primarily due to higher sales volumes due to the introduction of new cost competitive HDD products and lower material and overhead costs of the HDD products. All CSS products faced competitive pricing pressures during the year ended December 31, 2007 and we anticipate continued competitive pricing pressures on these products in the future.

The Zip product gross margins decreased in terms of both dollars and percentage during 2007 primarily due to the expected ongoing decline of Zip product sales. Additionally, 2007 included charges for inventory reserves; whereas, 2006 included a small benefit from the release of inventory reserves. Future Zip product gross margin percentage could fluctuate from quarter to quarter as Zip product sales continue to decline and depending on potential EOL or other charges.

REV product gross margins increased in terms of both dollars and percentages during 2007 due to a higher mix of REV 70GB product sales in 2007 which have higher gross margins. Additionally, 2006 included start-up costs for the launch of the REV 70GB products.

NSS product gross margins decreased in terms of both dollars and percentage during 2007 primarily due to a shift in mix to lower margin network HDD products and low-end NAS drives.

Future gross margin percentages will depend on a wide variety of factors, including those discussed in the section entitled, “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I in this Form 10-K filing. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to improve or maintain gross margins in any subsequent quarter or year.

Product Segment Operating Income (Loss)

Product operating income is defined as sales and other income related to a segment’s operations, less both fixed and variable product costs, and direct and allocated operating expenses. Operating expenses are charged to the product segments on a direct basis or as a percentage of sales. When such costs and expenses exceed sales and other income, this is referred to as a product operating loss. Intersegment sales, eliminated in consolidation, are not material. Non-allocated operating expenses include restructuring charges and certain extraordinary costs.

CSS product operating income as a percentage of CSS product sales improved to 1% for the year ended December 31, 2007 from a negative product operating loss of 7% of product sales for the year ended December 31, 2006. The CSS product operating income resulted primarily from improved gross margins as described above. Although operating expenses in total were higher in 2007, they were lower as a percent of sales when compared to 2006.

Zip product operating income as a percentage of Zip product sales increased to 18% for the year ended December 31, 2007 from 11% for the year ended December 31, 2006 due to lower operating expenses in 2007 and larger impairment charges taken in 2006, partially offset by the lower gross margins described above. We anticipate future volatility in Zip product operating income as the segment reaches the end of its life cycle. There is no remaining goodwill related to the Zip product line on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2007, as the last impairment charges were taken in the second quarter of 2007.

The REV product operating income as a percentage of REV product sales improved to 1% for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to a negative 16% for the year ended December 31, 2006. The REV product operating income for the year ended December 31, 2007 resulted primarily from improved gross margins as described above, lower selling and marketing expenses, and lower research and development expenses.

The NSS product operating income as a percentage of NSS product sales decreased to less than 1% for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to 9% of product sales for the year ended December 31, 2006. The lower NSS product operating income for the year ended December 31, 2007 resulted primarily from charges associated with the launch of the StorCenter Pro NAS 150d products, combined with the lower gross margins described above.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

2007 As Compared to 2006 (Continued)

The Services operating loss was primarily a result of continued start-up and marketing costs associated with our relatively new Managed Services business.

Other Products product operating income increased for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006, primarily due to increased license and patent fee income in the current year.

There were no non-restructuring charges in 2007. In 2006, the non-restructuring charge, related to severance costs associated with our former Chief Executive Officer, was not allocated to the product lines.

See separate discussion above for details related to the restructuring charges/reversals.

Total Operating Expenses	$	51,918		$	61,468		$	(9,550	)	(16	)%

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2007 compared to 2006 was primarily a result of $2.3 million in external professional fees associated with the announced proposed acquisition of ExcelStor Group. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of sales to 13% in 2007 from 18% in 2006.

Research and Development Expenses

The decrease in research and development expenses in 2007 compared to 2006 reflected lower development expenses on HDD and REV products, partially offset by higher spending on NSS products due to the launch of new products. Research and development expenses decreased as a percentage of sales to 2% in 2007, compared to 4% in 2006 as a result of higher revenue and lower product development costs. We anticipate research and development dollars in 2008 to be comparable in amount with 2007.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

2007 As Compared to 2006 (Continued)

License and Patent Fee Income

For the year ended December 31, 2007, license and patent fee income of $4.0 million was comprised of $3.5 million for a payment received on a 2004 license agreement and $0.5 million for the sale of certain patents. For the year ended December 31, 2006, license and patent fee income of $1.1 million was recognized from the sale of certain patents.

Goodwill Impairment Charges

For the year ended December 31, 2007, operating expenses included non-cash, impairment charges totaling $3.0 million relating to Zip goodwill. For the year ended December 31, 2006, operating expenses included non-cash, impairment charges totaling $8.7 million relating to Zip goodwill.

These charges were recorded as a result of quarterly impairment tests due to declining Zip sales, profits and estimated future cash flows as Zip products reach the end of their lifecycles. There was no remaining goodwill related to the Zip product line as of July 1, 2007.

Bad Debt

We increased our bad debt expense in 2007 by $1.3 million primarily to accrue for potential bad debt given the financial problems with one of our large U.S. retail customers, and to a lesser extent, higher overall trade receivables. This compares to a bad debt expense of $0.3 million in 2006 primarily as a result of a specific bad debt and a deterioration of customer accounts receivable agings in Europe.

At December 31, 2007, we had $3.2 million in trade receivables in excess of 180 days past due compared to $3.6 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease is primarily a result of reconciling and matching off approved credits against deductions taken by customers for returns, programs and other reasons.

Interest Income

Interest income of $2.6 million during 2007 decreased by $0.2 million, or 7%, as compared to the $2.8 million for 2006. The $0.2 million decrease in 2007 was due to lower average cash balances in 2007 as compared to 2006.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was immaterial for both the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Net other income of $0.3 million in 2007 decreased $0.8 million compared to other net income of $1.1 million in 2006. Included in the 2007 net other income was foreign currency gains of $0.9 million compared to foreign currency gains of $0.5 million in 2006. The 2006 net other income included a $1.1 million gain associated with the release of various liabilities for a European subsidiary for which operations ceased in 1999 and was dissolved in 2006.

Income Taxes

In June of 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48 which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with FASB 109. The interpretation was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. There was no material impact upon adoption of FIN 48 to our financial results.

For 2007, we recorded a net income tax provision of $1.3 million, on pre-tax income of $11.3 million. The net income tax provision was primarily comprised of a $2.4 million increase in the valuation allowance, tax provisions of $4.0 million related to the statutory provision on pre-tax income and tax provisions of $3.0 million related to increases in permanently invested earnings and changes in other deferred tax items, partially offset by tax benefits of $3.5 million related to the foreign income tax rate differential and $3.7 million related changes in tax contingency reserves and other deferred tax items. Included in the $2.4 million increase in the valuation allowance was a $5.6 million increased valuation allowance resulting from increases in the NOL and credit carryforwards and deferred tax assets related to inventory and accrued expenses. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the valuation allowance as the result of increases in the deferred tax liabilities of $3.2 million related to an increase in the pool of unrepatriated foreign earnings.

For 2006, we recorded a net income tax benefit of $2.3 million, on a pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $11.4 million. The net income tax benefit was primarily comprised of a $6.3 million decrease in the valuation allowance and tax benefits of $4.0 million related to the statutory benefit on pre-tax losses from continuing operations and changes in other deferred tax items, partially offset by tax charges of $8.4 million related to the write off of foreign NOLs. Included in the $6.3 million decrease in the valuation allowance was a $15.9 million decreased valuation allowance resulting from decreases in the NOL and credit carryforwards and deferred tax assets related to inventory and accrued expenses. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the valuation allowance as the result of decreases in the deferred tax liabilities of $9.6 million related to a decrease in the pool of unrepatriated foreign earnings.

The realizability of the net deferred tax assets is evaluated quarterly in accordance with FASB 109, which requires that a valuation allowance be established when we determine that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

At December 31, 2007, we had $2.1 million of deferred tax assets related to U.S. federal NOLs, which reflect a tax benefit of approximately $6.0 million in future U.S. federal tax deductions. At December 31, 2007, we had $10.5 million of deferred tax assets related to state NOLs, which reflect a tax benefit of approximately $264 million in future state tax deductions. The difference in the amount of future federal and state tax deductions related to the NOLs is primarily attributable to two factors: 1) the difference between federal and state NOL carryback rules which have allowed the use of federal NOLs in instances where state NOLs could not be utilized and 2) the difference in the taxable portion for federal and state purposes of dividends received from our foreign subsidiary for federal and state purposes.

2007 As Compared to 2006 (Continued)

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2007 included $0.3 million for external professional fees associated with the proposed acquisition of ExcelStor Group and $0.2 million in restructuring benefits (see the section above entitled, “Restructuring Charges/Reversals” for more detail).

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2007 included $1.2 million for external professional fees associated with the proposed acquisition of ExcelStor Group, $3.5 million in license fee income from a 2004 technology license agreement and $0.1 million in restructuring benefits (see the section above entitled, “Restructuring Charges/Reversals” for more detail). The net income for the fourth quarter of 2007 also included a tax benefit of $0.2 million primarily from the release of a contingency reserve related to a potential foreign tax exposure for which the statute of limitations expired in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2006 included a goodwill impairment charge of $3.1 million related to the Zip goodwill, $1.0 million of non-restructuring severance and benefits associated with our prior CEO and restructuring charges of $0.3 million related to severance and benefits for certain management employees laid off in the first quarter of 2006 (see the section above entitled, “Restructuring Charges/Reversals” for more detail). The net loss for the first quarter of 2006 also included a tax benefit of $1.4 million primarily from the release of deferred tax liabilities related to the impaired goodwill and tax benefits from various foreign tax true-ups.

Gross margin for the second quarter of 2006 included $2.1 million of charges related to inventory reserves and supplier claims because of RoHS and supply chain changes. Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2006 included a goodwill impairment charge of $2.3 million related to the Zip goodwill, restructuring charges of $4.2 million for severance and benefit costs under the 2006 restructuring actions and lease commitments under the 2001, 2005 and 2006 restructuring actions (see the section above entitled, “Restructuring Charges/Reversals” for more detail) and patent fee income of $1.1 million related to the sale of certain patents. The net loss for the second quarter of 2006 also included a tax benefit of $0.8 million primarily from the release of deferred tax liabilities related to the impaired goodwill, partially offset with provisions for foreign, state and local taxes.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2006 included a goodwill impairment charge of $2.5 million related to the Zip goodwill and a restructuring benefit of $0.2 million (see the section above entitled, “Restructuring Charges/Reversals” for more detail). Other income for the third quarter of 2006 included a $1.1 million gain associated with the release of various liabilities for a European subsidiary which ceased operations in 1999 and was dissolved in the quarter. Net income for the third quarter of 2006 also included a tax provision of $0.2 million primarily from the accrual of current year foreign, state and local taxes, partially offset with a benefit from the release of deferred tax liabilities related to the impaired goodwill.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2006 included a goodwill impairment charge of $0.8 million related to the Zip goodwill and $0.8 million of restructuring benefits primarily associated with the third quarter 2001 restructuring actions for lease commitments (see the section above entitled, “Restructuring Charges/Reversals” for more detail). Net income for the fourth quarter of 2006 also included a tax benefit of $0.3 million primarily from the release of deferred tax liabilities related to the impaired goodwill, partially offset with provision for foreign, state and local taxes; and an after-tax gain of $0.3 million associated with the sale of our investment in ByteTaxi (see the section above entitled, “ByteTaxi, Inc. Termination Agreement, Gain on Sale and Losses from Discontinued Operations” for more detail).

2006 As Compared to 2005

Sales

As shown in the table below, total sales for 2006 declined primarily due to lower Zip products sales. All prior period amounts have been reclassified to reflect the Network HDD drives classification change from the CSS Products segment in the Consumer Products category to NSS Products segment in the Business Products category and the classification change of Iomega services from Other Products to the Services segment under the Business Products category.

Total Sales	$	229,554	$	264,505	$	(34,951	)	(13	)%

Sales of CSS products represented 58% of total sales for 2006, compared to 51% of total sales for 2005. The percentage of total sales increased in 2006 due primarily to the lower total consolidated sales. Although total CSS products sales increased only $0.7 million from the previous year, our external hard drive business increased by $33.5 million, or 38%, over the prior year. This increase was primarily offset by a $15.6 million decrease in Optical sales, a $14.2 million in Micro Mini USB flash drive sales and a $3.0 million in floppy drive sales. The lower Optical and Micro Mini USB sales are a result of our decision in mid-2005 to eliminate unprofitable SKUs in the Optical and Micro Mini USB flash product lines.

Zip product sales continued to decline in 2006, both in terms of units and sales dollars. Sales of Zip products represented 14% of total sales for 2006, compared to 24% of total sales for 2005. We expect Zip drive and disk sales to continue to decrease as Zip products approach the end of their product lifecycle. In addition, we have ceased selling Zip drives to distributors or resellers in the EU as of July 1, 2006, in the wake of the RoHS lead free initiative.

REV product sales represented 19% of total sales for 2006, compared to 17% of total sales for 2005. REV sales decreased by $3.1 million in 2006 from $45.9 million of sales in 2005.

2006 As Compared to 2005 (Continued)

NSS product sales represented 8% of total sales for 2006, compared to 7% of total sales for 2005. NSS product sales decreased slightly in 2006 when compared to the same period in 2005.

Services sales represented 1.3% of total sales for 2006 compared to 0.2% of total sales for 2005. This increase is primarily a result of our acquisition of CSCI in August of 2006.

Our sales by region for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 are shown in the table below.


	Years Ended December 31,
	2006			2005			$ Change			% Change

Europe		54			46
Asia Pacific		5			7

Total		100	%		100	%

The decrease in sales dollars in the Americas was primarily due to lower Zip, REV and CSS (Optical and Micro Mini USB flash drive) product sales, offset by higher Services and NSS product sales. The increase in sales dollars in Europe was primarily due to higher CSS (HDD), REV and NSS product sales, partially offset by lower Zip, Optical and Micro Mini USB product sales. The decrease in sales dollars in the Asia Pacific region was primarily due to lower CSS, REV and Zip product sales.

Gross Margin

Our gross margin details for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 are shown in the table below.


	Years Ended December 31,
	2006			2005			$ Change			% Change

Total gross margin (dollars)	$	46,212		$	55,835		$	(9,623	)	(17	)%
Total gross margin (%)		20	%		21	%

Total gross margin dollars in 2006 decreased primarily from a lower proportion of higher margin Zip product sales and from lower overall sales. The lower gross margin percentage was primarily due to a lower proportion of Zip product sales, partially offset by higher CSS product gross margins.

IOMEGA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

2006 As Compared to 2005 (Continued)

The Zip product gross margin percentage increased in 2006 primarily from the 2006 and 2005 restructuring actions and the fact that the 2005 gross margin contained higher EOL charges. Total Zip product gross margin dollars decreased due to significantly lower Zip product sales.

CSS product gross margins increased in terms of both dollars and percentages during 2006. The increase in gross margin dollars was primarily due to the introduction of new cost competitive HDD products; lower material and overhead costs of the HDD products; lower Optical, Micro Mini USB flash and floppy drive sales and pricing and other programs related to HDD drives and higher overall CSS sales. All CSS products faced competitive pricing pressures during the year ended December 31, 2006.

REV product gross margins decreased in terms of both dollars and percentages during 2006, due to lower volumes and the manufacturing start-up costs associated with the launch of the REV 70GB products.

Product Segment Operating Income (Loss)

We no longer measure our product segment performance based on product profit margin. Effective January 1, 2006, we evaluate such performance based on product operating income. Product operating income is defined as sales and other income related to a segment’s operations, less both fixed and variable product costs, and direct and allocated operating expenses. Operating expenses are charged to the product segments on a direct basis or as a percentage of sales. When such costs and expenses exceed sales and other income, this is referred to as a product operating loss. Intersegment sales, eliminated in consolidation, are not material. Non-allocated operating expenses include restructuring charges and certain extraordinary costs.

Operating Loss	$	(15,256	)	$	(25,032	)	$	9,776		39	%

CSS product operating loss as a percentage of CSS product sales improved to a negative 7% for the year ended December 31, 2006 from a negative product operating loss of 19% of product sales for the year ended December 31, 2005. The lower CSS product operating loss resulted primarily from improved gross margins, lower operating expenses and benefited from $0.7 million of releases of certain accruals, based on changes in estimates, relating to freight accruals and marketing program utilizations.

The decrease in Zip product operating income resulted primarily from lower Zip product sales and the $8.7 million of non-cash, goodwill impairment charges recorded in 2006. Zip product operating income as a percentage of Zip product sales decreased to 11% for the year ended December 31, 2006 from 30% for the year ended December 31, 2005 primarily due to the goodwill impairment charges, partially offset by improved gross margin percentage and lower costs as a result of the restructuring and other cost reductions.

The REV product operating loss as a percentage of REV product sales improved to a negative 16% for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to a negative 26% for the year ended December 31, 2005. The lower REV product operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 resulted primarily from lower research and development expenses and selling and marketing expenses, partially offset by lower gross margins.

The NSS product operating income as a percentage of NSS product sales improved to a positive 9% for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to a negative 8% of product sales for the year ended December 31, 2005. The NSS product operating income for the year ended December 31, 2006 resulted primarily from lower selling and marketing expenses and a higher gross margin percentage.

IOMEGA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

2006 As Compared to 2005 (Continued)

The Services operating loss was primarily a result of start-up and marketing costs associated with our new Managed Services business.

Other Products product operating income decreased for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005, primarily from lower license and patent fee income in 2006.

The 2006 non-restructuring charge, related to severance costs associated with our former Chief Executive Officer, was not allocated to the product lines.

See separate discussion above for details related to the restructuring charges.

Operating Expenses (Income)

Total Operating Expenses	$	61,468		$	80,867		$	(19,399	)	(24	)%

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2006 compared to 2005 reflected lower costs resulting primarily from the 2006 and 2005 restructuring actions and other cost reductions. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of sales to 18% in 2006 from 23% in 2005. The 2006 expenses included a $1.0 million non-restructuring charge, related to severance costs associated with our former Chief Executive Officer.

Research and Development Expenses

The decrease in research and development expenses in 2006 compared to 2005 reflected lower development expenses on REV and HDD products. Research and development expenses decreased slightly as a percentage of sales to 4% in 2006, compared to 5% in 2005.

2006 As Compared to 2005 (Continued)

License and Patent Fee Income

For the year ended December 31, 2006, license and patent fee income of $1.1 million was recognized from the sale of certain patents. For the year ended December 31, 2005, license and patent fee income totaling $1.3 million was recognized for two intellectual property license agreements, one entered into in the second quarter of 2004 and the other entered into in the second quarter of 2005.

Goodwill Impairment Charges

For the year ended December 31, 2006, operating expenses included non-cash, impairment charges totaling $8.7 million relating to Zip goodwill.

These charges were recorded as a result of quarterly impairment tests due to declining Zip sales, profits and estimated future cash flows as Zip products reach the end of their lifecycles. As of December 31, 2006, there was $3.0 million of goodwill related to the Zip product segment remaining on the balance sheet which was subject to impairment.

Bad Debt

We experienced a bad debt expense of $0.3 million in 2006 primarily as a result of a specific bad debt and a deterioration of customer accounts receivable agings in Europe. This compares to a bad debt credit of $0.3 million in 2005.

At December 31, 2006, we had $3.6 million in trade receivables in excess of 180 days past due compared to $2.7 million at December 31, 2005. The increase is primarily a result of deductions taken by customers for returns, programs and other reasons, which we are in the process of reconciling and matching off against approved credits.

Interest Income

Interest income of $2.8 million during 2006 increased by $0.4 million, or 20%, as compared to the $2.4 million for 2005. The $0.4 million increase in 2006 was due from higher interest rates in 2006 as compared to 2005 as actual cash balances declined.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Net other income of $1.1 million in 2006 increased $2.7 million compared to other net expense of $1.6 million in 2005. Included in the 2006 net other income was a $1.1 million gain associated with the release of various liabilities for a European subsidiary for which operations ceased in 1999 and was dissolved in 2006. In addition to the $1.1 million gain described above, foreign currency gains of $0.5 million were incurred in 2006, compared to foreign currency losses of $1.1 million in 2005.

Income Taxes

For 2005, we recorded a net income tax benefit of $0.9 million, on a pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $24.6 million. The net income tax benefit was comprised of an $8.3 million increase in the valuation allowance resulting primarily from decreases in deferred tax liabilities and partially offset by the statutory tax benefit of $8.6 million on the pre-tax loss and $0.6 million of tax benefits primarily from the release of tax accruals. Included in the $8.3 million increase in the valuation allowance was a $16.7 million increased valuation allowance resulting from decreases in deferred tax liabilities because of a decrease in the pool of unrepatriated foreign earnings. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the valuation allowance as the result of decreases in the deferred tax asset of $8.4 million related to fixed assets, trade receivables, inventory and accrued expenses.

We have recorded tax contingencies related to items in various countries, which are included in “other accrued liabilities” and in “deferred income taxes” in our consolidated balance sheets. These reserve balances will be adjusted to the extent that these items are settled for amounts different than the amounts recorded. The amount included in “other accrued liabilities” at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 related to such tax contingencies was $4.3 million and $13.7 million, respectively. We reversed tax contingencies of $9.5 million in 2006 to retained earnings in accordance with SAB 108 related to foreign tax contingencies (see Note 4 of the notes to consolidated financial statements). We recorded tax contingencies of $0.2 million in 2006 to the “benefit (provision) for income taxes” to accrue interest on foreign contingencies. We reversed tax contingencies of $0.2 million in 2005 to the “benefit (provision) for income taxes”, due to the completion of a tax authority exam without adjustment.

The following table summarizes U.S. and foreign loss and tax credit carryforwards at December 31, 2006.


	Amount		Expiration Dates
	(In thousands)
U.S. and Foreign Loss Deferred Tax Assets:
Federal NOLs	$	0
State NOLs		10,144	2006 to 2025
Foreign NOLs		4	Indefinite

	$	10,148

Tax Credit Deferred Tax Assets:
Foreign tax credits	$	23,636	2009 to indefinite
Research credits		10,374	2007 to 2026
Alternative minimum tax credits		1,130	Indefinite

	$	35,140

At December 31, 2006, we had no deferred tax assets related to federal NOLs and $10.1 million of deferred tax assets related to state NOLs, which reflect a tax benefit of approximately $254 million in future state tax deductions. The difference in the amount of future federal and state tax deductions related to the NOLs is primarily attributable to two factors: 1) the difference between federal and state NOL carryback rules which have allowed the use of federal NOLs in instances where state NOLs could not be utilized and 2) the difference in the taxable portion for federal and state purposes of dividends received from our foreign subsidiary.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Details of our total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and temporary investments are shown in the table below.

	(In thousands, except %)

Total cash and cash equivalents for the U.S. entities	$	7,285	$	2,653	$	4,632		175	%
Total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and temporary investments for non-U.S. entities		56,328		65,495		(9,167	)	(14	)

Total consolidated cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and temporary investments	$	63,613	$	68,148	$	(4,535	)	(7	)%

Working capital	$	96,493	$	79,273	$	17,220		22	%

We repatriated approximately $13 million of foreign cash to the U.S. during 2007. This cash was used to fund operations and make payments on an intercompany loan. The repatriation of any of the $56.3 million of foreign cash to the U.S. will be taxable income in the U.S. for federal and state tax purposes at a rate of approximately 37% and also require a 5% Swiss withholding tax. The amount of cash required for U.S. federal and state taxes will be significantly less than our effective tax rate due to the availability of existing federal and state NOLs, tax credit carry-forwards and previously taxed income.

The increase in working capital resulted primarily from an increase in current assets; partially offset by an increase in current liabilities, in particular increases in inventory and trade receivable, partially offset by lower cash, cash equivalents and temporary investments and higher accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

The primary uses of cash from operations in 2007 were increases in inventories and trade receivables, partially offset by operating income and higher accounts payable.

Trade receivables increased in 2007 primarily from higher sales, partially offset by the timing of sales. Days sales outstanding (“DSO”) in receivables decreased from 36 days at December 31, 2006 to 31 days at December 31, 2007 due to timing of sales. DSO is calculated by multiplying the period end trade receivables balance by 90 and dividing that amount by the sales for the last quarter of the applicable year. Inventories increased during 2007 primarily due to HDD products needed to satisfy existing backlog in the first quarter of 2008. Accounts payable increased during 2007 as a result of higher inventory balances and overall growth in sales.

IOMEGA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

It is our goal to continue to achieve profitability in 2008 and our goal to improve cash flow from operations through containing operating expense spending, tightly managing supplier terms and conditions, HDD sales growth, maintaining or improving the gross margins of HDD products, growing REV product sales and managing the Zip products business for cash flow. However, we can give no assurance that we will be successful in achieving any of these goals.

During 2007, we did not repurchase any shares of our Common Stock. At December 31, 2007, approximately $122.3 million remained available for future repurchases under the $150 million stock repurchase plan authorized by our Board of Directors on September 8, 2000. The repurchase plan does not have a fixed termination date.

We believe that our balance of cash, cash equivalents and temporary investments, together with cash flows from future operations, will be sufficient to fund anticipated working capital requirements and capital expenditures related to our ongoing operations for at least one year. However, cash flow from future operations, investing activities, and the precise amount and timing of our future financing needs cannot be determined. Future cash flow will depend on a number of factors, including those set forth in the section labeled “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We do not believe that our cash balances would be adequate to fund a material acquisition. In that situation, we would need to borrow cash or fund the acquisition through a stock offering. Should we be unable to meet our cash needs from our current balance of cash, cash equivalents and temporary investments and future cash flows from operations, we would most likely incur additional restructuring charges to adjust our expenditures to a level that our cash flows could support and/or seek financing from other sources.

Our current balance of cash, cash equivalents and temporary investments is our sole source of liquidity. Given our history of sales declines and losses (until recently), there is no assurance that, if needed, we would be able to obtain financing from external sources or obtain a competitive interest rate.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations at December 31, 2007 were as follows:


	Total		Payments Due By Period

These purchase obligations include those contracts that we can terminate for our convenience on advance written notice to the supplier.

We conduct all of our operations from leased facilities. Aggregate lease commitments under non-cancelable operating leases are shown in the table above. On February 15, 2008 we entered into a sublease agreement from August of 2008 through February of 2013. The total lease payments during the lease are approximately $3 million.

We accrue for warranty costs based on estimated warranty return rates and estimated costs to repair. We use a statistical-based model to estimate warranty accrual requirements.

For more detail on the excess purchase commitments, see the discussion above in the Application of Critical Accounting Policies section.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements at December 31, 2007 as defined by applicable SEC rules.

Other Matters

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FASB 157”). This statement provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. This statement also responds to investors’ requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. FASB 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. FASB 157 does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not expect there to be a material impact upon adoption of FASB 157 to our financial results.

In February of 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“FASB 159”) which is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FASB 159 permits entities to account for most financial instruments at fair value rather than under other applicable generally accepted accounting principles such as historical cost. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. We are currently analyzing the effects of the new standard and its potential impact, if any, on our consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Other Matters (Continued)

In December of 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations (revised 2007)” (“FASB 141R”). FASB 141R establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. FASB 141R also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any; of the adoption of FASB 141R on our consolidated financial statements.

In December of 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51” (“FASB 160”). FASB 160 amends ARB No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for non-controlling interests in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It also amends certain of ARB No. 51’s consolidation procedures for consistency with the requirements of FASB 141R. FASB 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of FASB 160 on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 7A.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK:

We are exposed to various market risks including foreign currency, interest rate and securities price risks. We are exposed to various foreign currency exchange rate risks that arise in the normal course of business. Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. We have international operations resulting in receipts and payments in currencies that differ from our functional currency. We attempt to reduce foreign currency exchange rate risks by utilizing financial instruments, including derivative transactions pursuant to our policies.

We use forward contracts to hedge those net assets and liabilities that, when re-measured according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, impact our consolidated statements of operations. All forward contracts entered into by us are components of hedging programs and are entered into for the sole purpose of hedging an existing or anticipated currency exposure, not for speculation or trading purposes. Currently, we are using only forward contract instruments to hedge our net balance sheet exposures. The contracts are in European currencies. We enter into contracts throughout the month as necessary. These contracts normally have maturities that do not exceed 40 days. See Note 6 of the notes to consolidated financial statements.

When hedging balance sheet exposures, all gains and losses on forward contracts are recognized in other income and expense in the same period that the gains and losses on re-measurement of the foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities occur. All gains and losses related to foreign exchange contracts are included in cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

IOMEGA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK (Continued)

The fair value of our forward contracts is subject to change because of potential changes in market rates and prices. If the U.S. dollar were to strengthen or weaken against these foreign currencies by 10%, the hypothetical value of the contracts would have increased or decreased by approximately $5.3 million at December 31, 2007 and $3.7 million at December 31, 2006. However, these forward exchange contracts are hedges and consequently any market value gains or losses arising from these foreign exchange contracts should be offset by foreign exchange losses or gains on the underlying assets and liabilities. Calculations of the above effects assume that each rate changed in the same direction at the same time relative to the U.S. dollar. The calculations reflect only those differences resulting from mechanically replacing one exchange rate with another. They do not factor in any potential effects that changes in currency exchange rates may have on statement of operations translation, sales volume and prices and on local currency costs of production. Factors that could impact the effectiveness of our hedging programs include volatility of the currency and interest rate markets, availability of hedging instruments and our ability to accurately project net asset or liability positions. Actual gains and losses in the future may differ materially from our analysis depending on changes in the timing and amount of interest rate and foreign exchange rate movements and our actual exposures and hedges.

We did not have any significant debt outstanding at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Should we need to borrow funds in the future, we would be subject to credit-based interest rate risks. We are also subject to interest rate risks on our current cash, cash equivalents and temporary investment balances. For example, if the interest rate on our interest bearing investments were to change 1% (100 basis points), interest income would have hypothetically increased or decreased by $0.7 million during 2007 and $0.8 million during 2006. This hypothetical analysis does not take into consideration the effects of the economic conditions that would give rise to such an interest rate change or our response to such hypothetical conditions.

Investments purchased with maturities in excess of three months (at time of purchase) and with less than one year of remaining maturity at year-end are classified as temporary investments. None of our investments have greater than 24 month maturities, when purchased. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the average duration of our temporary investments was less than 12 months. At December 31, 2007, we had debt security investments of $10.0 million that will mature within one year. At December 31, 2006, we had debt security investments of $11.4 million that will mature within one year.

Investments purchased with maturities in excess of three months (at time of purchase) and with more than one year of remaining maturity at year-end are classified as long term investments. None of our investments have greater than 24 month maturities, when purchased. At December 31, 2007, we had debt security investments of $1.0 million that will mature within two years.

We seek to minimize our credit risk associated with all investments by purchasing investment grade, liquid securities. We have classified all of our temporary and long-term investments as available-for-sale securities.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. As defined by the SEC, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management of the Company has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“the COSO Framework”). Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Based on its assessment, as of December 31, 2007, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

BDO Seidman LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, was engaged to attest to and report on the effectiveness of Iomega Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. Its report is included herein.

No change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Iomega Corporation

San Diego, California

We have audited Iomega Corporation’s and subsidiaries (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statements of financial condition of Iomega Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007 and our report dated March 14, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Iomega Corporation

San Diego, California

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Iomega Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition of Iomega Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Also, in our opinion, the consolidated financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Iomega Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 14, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

(1) Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

Operations

We design and market products that help our customers protect, secure, capture and share their valuable digital information. Our principal products include magnetic drives and disks marketed under the REV^® and Zip^® trademarks; portable, eGo^TM, desktop, MiniMax, Ultramax and network hard disk drives (“HDD”) and Networked Attached Storage (NAS) servers. OfficeScreen^® services, Iomega’s managed security services for small and medium businesses (“SMBs”), features services managing firewalls, providing secure remote access for small businesses and reselling e-mail security. We also sell optical drives marketed under the Iomega CD-RW and Iomega DVD rewritable trademarks, Iomega Floppy USB drives and various software titles.

Retail outlets for our products include computer superstores, consumer electronic superstores, mail order direct marketing resellers (“DMRs”), office supply superstores, specialty computer stores and online vendors. We sell our products directly to retail channels as well as indirectly through distributors. In addition, we have sales relationships with a variety of companies within the computer and consumer electronics industries. These relationships include arrangements with original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and value-added resellers (“VARs”) that provide for certain of our products to be resold on a stand-alone basis or incorporated, as an option, in new computers and other systems at the time of purchase. We also sell our products through our website, www.iomega.com.

Sources of Supply

Although we have outsourced all of our product manufacturing and certain supply chain operations, we are still responsible for the supply of certain components for the manufacture of our Zip, REV and hard drive based products. Certain components incorporated in, or used in, the manufacture of Zip and REV products are currently available only from single source suppliers. We purchase a portion of our single and limited source components pursuant to purchase orders that do not include guaranteed supply arrangements. We purchase all of the products we resell directly from other suppliers. Supply shortages resulting from a change in a supplier or resulting from unavailability from a particular supplier could cause a delay in product availability and a possible loss of sales, which would have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

Manufacturing Relationships

We use independent parties to manufacture our products or components. Not all of our manufacturing relationships are covered by binding contracts and certain of the relationships are subject to unilateral termination by our manufacturing partner. Shortages resulting from a change in a manufacturing arrangement could cause a delay in product availability and a possible loss of sales, which would have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

Principles of Consolidation and Foreign Currency

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Iomega Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries after elimination of all material intercompany accounts and transactions. All of our entities have been consolidated. For purposes of consolidating our non-U.S. operations, we have determined the functional currency for our non-U.S. operations is the U.S. dollar. Therefore, translation gains and losses are included in the determination of income (loss).

Pervasiveness of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Areas where significant judgments occur include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, price protection and rebate reserves, inventory valuation reserves, accrued excess purchase commitments, tax valuation allowances and tax contingencies, and impairment of goodwill and other intangibles. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ notes to consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue based on the criteria in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104. These criteria are that revenue should be recognized when there is: 1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement with the buyer, 2) delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, 3) the selling price is fixed and determinable and 4) collectibility is reasonably assured.

Our customers include OEMs, retailers, distributors, VARs, DMRs and end users. Typically, retail and distribution customer agreements in the Americas have provisions that allow the customer to return product under certain conditions within specified time periods. The reserves for estimated returns are calculated by reviewing historical return rates on a product-by-product basis and then applying that return rate to the most recent three months of shipments on a product-by-product basis. Sales, less reserves for estimated returns, are generally recognized upon shipment and passage of title to the customer. We have established reserves for estimated returns, which are reflected as a reduction of sales and trade receivables in our consolidated financial statements. The reserves for estimated returns totaled $0.8 million at December 31, 2007 and $1.8 million at December 31, 2006.

In addition to reserves for estimated returns, we defer recognition of sales on estimated excess inventory in the distribution, retail and DMR channels. For this purpose, excess inventory is the amount of inventory that exceeds the channel’s four-week requirement as estimated by us. OEM and VAR customers are not considered to have excess inventory, as they usually do not carry more than four weeks of inventory. The distribution, retail and DMR channel’s four-week requirement is estimated based on inventory and sell-through amounts reported to us by our key customers in each channel, who make up the substantial majority of our sales in these channels. No adjustment is made for those customers that do not report inventory and sell-through information. We defer estimated sales and cost of sales associated with estimated excess channel inventory in our consolidated financial statements.

Margin on estimated channel inventory	$	1,937		$	2,810

Additionally, we bundle various extended service plans with selected Network Attached Storage (“NAS”) servers and sell additional NAS and REV extended service plans on a stand-alone basis. The service periods for the extended service plans are up to five years, with the vast majority of the plans being for three years. We defer sales of extended service plans and recognize the sales ratably over the respective life of the service plan three months after the service plan was sold into the channel. The bundled extended service plans are deferred based on the stand-alone sales price. The related costs of servicing these plans are expensed as incurred as we are charged per service call, thus there is no deferral of cost associated with the extended service plans.

Since the acquisition of CSCI, Inc. (“CSCI”) in 2006, we now sell multiple year service contracts to customers for managed services. The majority of the contracts are billed monthly so it is not necessary to defer sales. To the extent that we bill in advance of the service, we defer the revenue and recognize the revenue over the service period of the contract.

The components of “margin on deferred revenue” in our consolidated balance sheets are as follows:


	December 31,
	2007		2006
	(In thousands)
Margin on estimated excess channel inventory	$	1,937	$	2,810
Deferred extended service plans and managed services		1,673		2,087

We also sell software that is embedded or bundled with some of our drive products, as well as some software titles that are downloaded from our website. Sales from the software embedded or bundled with drive products, less reserves for estimated returns, are recognized upon shipment to the customer. Sales from software that is downloaded from our website are recognized at the time of the download. Our software sales are immaterial.

Price Protection and Rebate Reserves

License and Patent Fee Income

License and patent fee income totaling $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 was recognized for a payment on a 2004 license agreement and the sale of certain patents. License fee and patent income of $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 was recognized for the sale of certain patents. License fee and patent income of $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 was recognized from two intellectual property license agreements, one entered into in the second quarter of 2004 and the other entered into in the second quarter of 2005.

Forward Exchange Contracts

We are exposed to various foreign currency exchange rate risks that arise in the normal course of business. Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. We have international operations resulting in receipts and payments in currencies that differ from our functional currency. We attempt to reduce foreign currency exchange rate risks by utilizing financial instruments, including derivative transactions pursuant to our policies.

We use forward contracts to hedge those net assets and liabilities that, when re-measured according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, impact our consolidated statements of operations. While we use these instruments to reduce our risk, we do not account for these instruments as hedges under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. All forward contracts entered into by us are components of hedging programs and are entered into for the sole purpose of hedging an existing exposure or anticipated currency exposure, not for speculation or trading purposes. The forward contracts are in European currencies. We enter into contracts throughout the month as necessary. These contracts normally have maturities that do not exceed 40 days. See Note 6.

103

IOMEGA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(1) Operations and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

When hedging balance sheet exposures, all gains and losses on forward contracts are recognized in “other income (expense), net” in our consolidated statements of operations in the same period that the gains and losses on re-measurement of the foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities occur. All gains and losses related to foreign exchange contracts are included in cash flows from operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of our consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include all marketable securities with maturities of three or fewer months when purchased. See the table below under the caption “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for a listing of the types of investments that comprise cash and cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

We had restricted cash of $0.1 million at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 related to a rental deposit. This cash is reported separately as “restricted cash” in our consolidated balance sheets.

Temporary Investments

Long Term Investments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The book value of all financial instruments approximates fair value. We consider our cash equivalents, temporary investments and foreign exchange contracts to be financial instruments and the estimated fair values for these instruments have been determined using appropriate market information. We also consider our accounts payable and trade receivables to be financial instruments and the carrying value of these instruments approximates their fair values because of the short-term maturities of these items.

At both December 31, 2007 and 2006, our temporary investments, that were in an unrealized loss positions, represented an immaterial amount.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We record our trade receivables at sales value and establish a non-specific allowance for estimated doubtful accounts by applying specified percentages to the different receivable aging categories based upon our historical experience. The percentage applied against the aging categories increases as the accounts become further past due. Accounts in excess of 180 days past due are fully reserved. In addition, specific reserves are established for specific customer accounts as collection problems become known or occur due to insolvency, disputes or other collection issues. The amounts of these specific reserves are estimated by us based on the following assumptions/ variables: customer’s financial position, age of the customer’s receivable and changes in payment schedules. The allowance for doubtful accounts is charged with the write-off of uncollectible customer accounts whether due to insolvency, settlement or disputes.

Inventories

Inventories include material costs and inventory related overhead costs and are recorded at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and consist of the following:


	December 31,
	2007		2006
	(In thousands)

Raw materials	$	29,202	$	16,475
Finished goods		50,681		26,118

	$	79,883	$	42,593

We evaluate the carrying value of inventory on a quarterly basis to determine if the carrying value is recoverable at estimated selling prices (including known future price decreases). We include product costs and direct selling expenses in our analysis of inventory realization. To the extent that estimated selling prices do not exceed such costs and expenses, valuation reserves are established against inventories through a charge to cost of sales. In addition, we generally consider inventory, which is not expected to be sold within established timelines, as forecasted by our material requirements planning system, as excess and thus appropriate inventory reserves are established through a charge to cost of sales.

Property and Equipment

Purchases of property and equipment are recorded at cost and major improvements are capitalized. When property is retired or otherwise disposed of, the book value of the property is removed from the fixed assets as well as the related accumulated depreciation and amortization accounts; and the net resulting gain or loss is included in “cost of sales”, “research and development” or “selling, general and administrative” in our consolidated statements of operations depending on the nature of the asset. Depreciation is included in cost of goods sold, research and development or selling, general and administrative expenses depending on the nature of the asset and is expensed based on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the property.


Category	Estimated Useful Lives	Net Book Value at December 31, 2007
		(In thousands)

Machinery and equipment	2 – 5 years	$	3,427
Leasehold improvements	5 years		103
Furniture and fixtures	10 years		243
Unfinished property and equipment			94

		$	3,867

Fixed asset reserves are established for those assets that are considered impaired or if a commitment has been made for the removal of a fixed asset. These reserves are included with “accumulated depreciation and amortization” in our consolidated balance sheets.

106

IOMEGA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(1) Operations and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

The carrying amounts of fixed assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized when estimated expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) are less than the carrying amount of the asset.

Goodwill

Under SFAS No. 142, “Accounting for Goodwill and Intangible Assets” (“FASB 142”), goodwill is no longer amortized but rather is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level. We have determined that the appropriate reporting unit to evaluate the goodwill from the CSCI acquisition is our Services segment. We have performed the impairment test required under FASB 142 for the goodwill related to the CSCI acquisition and have determined that it was not impaired at December 31, 2007. This test compared our Services segment specific assets to the estimated future, discounted cash flows to determine if these cash flows will cover the assets. We will continue to test the CSCI goodwill for impairment annually.

Zip cash flows continued their expected decline in 2007. As of July 1, 2007, there is no remaining goodwill related to Zip specific assets, as it has now been fully written off.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method, our best estimate of the pattern of economic benefit, over the estimated useful life of the assets and are subject to periodic review for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

At December 31, 2007, we had intangible assets of approximately $0.8 million, which include the OfficeScreen Trade name and technology, and customer and vendor relationships obtained through the CSCI acquisition. The remaining estimated useful lives for our intangible assets are approximately 3.6 years for the OfficeScreen technology and customer and vendor relationships and approximately 8.6 years for the OfficeScreen Trade name.

Marketing Program Accruals

We, as part of our normal operations, have entered into contracts with many of our distribution and retail customers whereby the customer is allowed to use a set percentage of its purchases of our products for various marketing purposes, referred to as “cooperative advertising” or “market development funds” (“MDF”). The purpose of these contracts is to encourage advertising and promotional events to promote the sale of our products to end users. We also contract with various third parties to support these customer programs. We accrue for the estimated costs of these marketing programs with the customers and third parties in accordance with the contractual percentage of product sold to the respective customer and the estimated support costs during the period that the product is sold or the period that the support costs are incurred. During the period, we develop and approve specific marketing programs with the customer to utilize the cooperative advertising or MDF funds in a manner intended to best promote our products. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate the adequacy of these marketing program accruals to cover known marketing programs that we have agreed to pay and/or share costs with the customer. In addition, we evaluate the specific programs for proper classification of these costs in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products”.

107

IOMEGA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Advertising

We expense the cost of advertising as it is incurred, except cooperative advertising or MDF with distributors and retailers, which are accrued at the time of sale. We incurred advertising expenses totaling $1.7 million for 2007, $2.3 million for 2006 and $8.8 million for 2005.

Shipping and Handling Costs

We record, as cost of sales, shipping and handling costs incurred in shipping product to our customers.

Restructuring Charges

Our third quarter 2001 restructuring charges were recorded under EITF Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)” (“EITF 94-3”). EITF 94-3 states that restructuring charges, other than amounts for severance and benefits, can be recorded when a detailed restructuring plan to exit specific activities has been approved by management prior to the financial reporting date and we have the ability to reasonably estimate costs. Estimated amounts for severance and benefits were accrued once the potentially affected employees had been notified of the termination and severance benefits had been communicated. We revised some of our estimates for the third quarter 2001 restructuring actions during 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2002 under the guidance provided by EITF 94-3 (see Note 5 for more detail). At December 31, 2007, there are no remaining reserves associated with this restructuring action.

Our 2006, 2005, 2004 and 2003 restructuring charges were recorded under SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“FASB 146”). FASB 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullified EITF 94-3. FASB 146 requires, in general, that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Thus, amounts for severance and benefits are accrued once the affected employees have been notified of the termination, severance benefits have been communicated and the employee will not be retained more than 60 days after the notification date. For those employees on transition who will remain with us beyond 60 days after their notification date, we calculated their estimated severance costs and recorded this liability ratably over the remaining service period. We recorded the liability for contract termination costs once the contract was terminated or we ceased receiving any benefit from the contract. In the case of leased property, once we exited the facility and were no longer receiving any benefit from the lease, we recorded a liability for the remaining lease rentals, reduced by estimated sublease rentals that could be reasonably obtained for the lease. FASB 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that were initiated after December 31, 2002. However, restructuring activities that were initiated under the guidance provided by EITF 94-3 will continue to follow that guidance until the restructuring activity is completed. At December 31, 2007, there are no remaining reserves associated with these restructuring actions.

Other Accrued Liabilities

Other accrued liabilities includes accruals for royalties, forward foreign exchange contracts, self-insurance liabilities (2006 only), litigation, professional fees, value added taxes (“VAT”), sales and other taxes and other miscellaneous liabilities.

Stock Compensation Expense

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123r, “Share-Based Payment”, (“FASB 123r”) using the modified prospective transition method. Because we elected to use the modified prospective transition method, results for prior periods have not been restated.

Our consolidated statements of operations included $1.0 million, $0.7 million and $0.8 million of compensation expense related to stock-based compensation plans for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Valuation and Amortization. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of each option grant on the date of grant or modification. We amortize the fair value on an accelerated method for recognizing stock compensation expense over the vesting period of the option.

Expected Term. The expected term is the period of time that granted options are expected to be outstanding. We estimate the expected term based on historical patterns of option exercises, which we believe reflect future exercise behavior. We examined patterns in our historical data in order to ascertain if there were any discernable patterns of exercises for demographic characteristics (such as geographic, job level, plan and significantly out-of-the-money exercise prices).

Expected Volatility. We calculate volatility by using the historical stock prices going back over the estimated life of the option.

Risk-Free Interest Rate. We base the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes option-valuation model on the market yield in effect at the time of option grant provided from the Federal Reserve Board’s Statistical Releases and Historical Publications from the Treasury constant maturities rates for the equivalent remaining terms.

Dividends. We do not have plans to pay cash dividends in the future. Therefore, we use an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes option-valuation model.

Forfeitures. FASB 123r requires us to estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We use historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and record share-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. In calculating the forfeiture rates, we have excluded options that were significantly out of the money, primarily because they relate to older, fully vested awards. During the first quarter of 2006, we reduced our stock-based compensation by $0.1 million due to a change in the estimated forfeiture rate as required by FASB 123r. The $0.1 million reduction of the stock-based compensation cost did not have a material impact on the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation.

109

IOMEGA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(1) Operations and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

The fair value of each stock option grant made during 2007 and 2006 was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes model using the following weighted-average assumptions consistent with the requirements of FASB 123r.

The following table sets forth the fair value per share information, including related assumptions, used to determine compensation cost.


Assumption	Years Ended December 31,
Assumption	2007		2006		2005

Expected stock price volatility	39	%	42	%	44	%
Risk-free interest rate	4.39	%	4.60	%	3.99	%
Expected dividends	zero		zero		zero
Expected average life of options	5.2	years	3.90	years	3.40	years
Forfeiture rate	27	%	27	%	18	%

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share (“Basic EPS”) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net income (loss) per common share (“Diluted EPS”) reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on net income (loss) per common share. In years where losses are recorded, common stock equivalents would decrease the loss per share and therefore are not added to the weighted average shares outstanding. Losses were recorded for 2006 and 2005, thus there was no dilution for these years, as all outstanding options were considered anti-dilutive.

The table below shows the number of outstanding options in each year that had an exercise price greater than the average market price of the Common Shares (out-of-the-money options) for the four preceding quarters, which were excluded from consideration of EPS as their impact would be anti-dilutive.

Warranty Costs

We accrue for warranty costs based on estimated warranty return rates and estimated costs to repair. We use a statistical-based model to estimate warranty accrual requirements. The statistical model, used to project future returns, is based upon a rolling monthly calculation that computes the number of units required in the warranty reserve and is based upon monthly sales, actual returns and projected return rates. Generally, if a product is subject to failure or likely to fail, the product fails early in the usage cycle. Actual warranty costs are charged against the warranty reserve. Factors that affect our warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty returns and repair cost. We review the adequacy of our recorded warranty liability on a quarterly basis and record the necessary adjustments to the warranty liability.

In June of 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of SFAS No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“FASB 109”). The interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. There was no material impact upon adoption of FIN 48 to our financial results.

We recognize liabilities or assets for the deferred tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets or liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements in accordance with FASB 109. These temporary differences will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years when the reported amounts of the assets or liabilities are recovered or settled.

FASB 109 requires that a valuation allowance be established when we determine that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. We evaluate the realizability of our net deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and valuation allowances are provided, as necessary. During this evaluation, we review our forecasts of income in conjunction with other positive and negative evidence surrounding the realizability of our deferred tax assets to determine if a valuation allowance is required. Adjustments to the valuation allowance will increase or decrease our income tax provision or benefit. In accordance with FIN 48, we record tax contingencies when the exposure item becomes probable and reasonably estimable.

(1) Operations and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. We are currently analyzing the effects of the new standard and its potential impact, if any, on our consolidated financial statements.

(2) Acquisitions

CSCI

On August 11, 2006, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of CSCI in exchange for $4.5 million in cash (less certain closing costs paid by CSCI) and a total of 2,857,722 shares of Iomega Common Stock (treasury stock) equivalent to $7.0 million The acquisition of CSCI allows us to expand our offerings to the small- and medium-sized businesses who we currently market our hardware products. We believe that a combination of our strong brand name, being a more established company in the SMB market and our customer channels, coupled with CSCI’s OfficeScreen managed services and their established telco channel, will create a synergy that provides an opportunity to diversify our business. We believe that the managed services area is growing and we were willing to pay a premium for the OfficeScreen technology. Because the underlying OfficeScreen technology is not proprietary, it was assigned a low value for purposes of the valuation. There was also a premium paid to acquire an existing managed service business versus building a managed service business from the ground up. Accordingly, we paid a significant premium over the estimated fair value of the tangible and intangible assets, which resulted in goodwill being recorded in the amount of $9.5 million.

The acquisition was recorded by allocating the cost of the assets acquired, including intangible assets and liabilities assumed, based on their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of the acquisition over the net amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill of $9.5 million was recorded, of which $8.8 million is deductible for tax purposes. The valuation of assets and liabilities has been determined and the purchase price was allocated as follows:


	(In thousands)
Trade receivables		$964
Other receivables		589

The Boards of Directors of both Iomega and ExcelStor have unanimously approved the share purchase agreement. The transaction is subject to shareholder approval and various regulatory approvals in both the U.S. and China.

During 2007, we recorded a $2.4 million increase in the valuation allowance resulting primarily from increases in deferred tax assets and partially offset by decreases in deferred tax liabilities. Included in the $2.4 million increase in the valuation allowance was a $5.6 million increased valuation allowance resulting from increases in the NOL and credit carryforwards. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the valuation allowance as the result of increases in the deferred tax liabilities of $3.2 million related to an increase in the pool of unrepatriated foreign earnings.

During 2006, we recorded a $6.3 million decrease in the valuation allowance resulting primarily from decreases in deferred tax assets and partially offset by decreases in deferred tax liabilities. Included in the $6.3 million decrease in the valuation allowance was a $15.9 million decreased valuation allowance resulting from decreases in the NOL and credit carryforwards and deferred tax assets related to inventory and accrued expenses. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the valuation allowance as the result of decreases in the deferred tax liabilities of $9.6 million related to a decrease in the pool of unrepatriated foreign earnings.

During 2005, we recorded an $8.3 million increase in the valuation allowance resulting primarily from decreases in deferred tax liabilities and partially offset by decreases in deferred tax assets. Included in the $8.3 million increase in the valuation allowance was a $16.7 million increased valuation allowance resulting from decreases in the deferred tax liabilities because of a decrease in the pool of unrepatriated foreign earnings. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the valuation allowance as the result of decreases in the deferred tax assets of $8.4 million related to fixed assets, trade receivables, inventory and accrued expenses.

We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized no material adjustment in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007, we had $5.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits, $4.0 million of which would affect our effective tax rate if recognized. Consistent with the provisions of FIN 48, we reclassified $4.0 million of income tax liabilities from current to non-current liabilities because payment of cash was not anticipated within one year of the balance sheet date.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:


	(In thousands)
Unrecognized tax benefits balance at January 1, 2007	$	5,828
Gross increases for tax positions of prior years		228
Gross increases for tax position of current year		—
Decreases for settlements with tax authorities		—
Reductions for lapse of statute of limitations		(1,600	)

Unrecognized tax benefits balance at December 31, 2007	$	4,456

At December 31, 2007, we have $4.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits, $2.6 million of which would affect our effective tax rate if recognized.

We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007, we had approximately $0.3 million and $0.3 million of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions, respectively.

We believe that it is reasonably possible that a reduction of approximately $2.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within 12 months as a result of projected resolutions of worldwide tax disputes and the lapse of various statutes of limitations. The portion of this reduction which is expected to result in cash payments to tax authorities has been shown as a current liability on the financial statements.

The tax years 2003 through 2007 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject. We are no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for periods prior to 2003, although carryforward attributes that were generated prior to 2003 may still be adjusted upon examination by the IRS if they either have been or will be used in a future period. Various state and foreign income tax returns are under examination by taxing authorities. We do not believe that the outcome of any examination will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. They are measured by applying the enacted tax rates and laws in effect for the years in which such differences are expected to reverse. We do not represent that foreign earnings are permanently reinvested and accordingly have provided U.S. taxes on these earnings.

At December 31, 2007, we had $2.1 million of deferred tax assets related to U.S. federal NOLs, which reflect a tax benefit of approximately $6.0 million in future U.S. federal tax deductions. At December 31, 2007, we had $10.5 million of deferred tax assets related to state NOLs, which reflect a tax benefit of approximately $264 million in future state tax deductions. The difference in the amount of future federal and state tax deductions related to the NOLs is primarily attributable to two factors: 1) the difference between federal and state NOL carryback rules which have allowed the use of federal NOLs in instances where state NOLs could not be utilized and 2) the difference in the taxable portion of dividends received from our foreign subsidiary for federal and state purposes.

Cash paid for income taxes and received from refunds is shown in the table below.

On February 15, 2008 we entered into a sublease agreement from August of 2008 through February of 2013. The total lease payments during the lease are approximately $3 million.

Excess Purchase Commitments

The purchase orders under which we buy many of our components and sourced products generally extend one to three quarters in the future based on the lead times associated with the specific component or sourced product. The quantities on the purchase orders are based on forecasted future sales requirements. In the case of new products or products with declining sales, it can be difficult to estimate future product demand, which could result in excess purchase commitments, where we have made commitments to purchase products that we do not anticipate utilizing and therefore are considered excess. The accrual for excess purchase commitments also includes liabilities such as cancellation charges or handling fees incurred because of excess supplier inventory or equipment. The accrual for excess purchase commitments totaled $1.3 million at December 31, 2007 and $4.0 million at December 31, 2006.

Guaranteed and Retention Bonuses

As part of the management changes made by the Board of Directors during the first quarter of 2006, certain key executives were offered guaranteed bonuses for 2006. At December 31, 2006, there was $0.5 million accrued for these guaranteed bonuses. These amounts were paid in February of 2007. Additionally, we paid $0.2 million associated with the guaranteed bonus of the CEO in April of 2006, as required under his employment agreement.

In conjunction with our acquisition of CSCI, certain key employees of CSCI were offered retention bonuses to provide an incentive for these individuals to stay with us to assist in the transition of CSCI to Iomega. The agreement provided for 50% of the bonus to be paid if the individual was employed by us in August of 2007 and the remaining 50% of the bonus is to be paid if the individual is employed with us in August of 2008. At December 31, 2007, there was $0.1 million accrued for these bonuses. The first 50% of the retention bonuses were paid in August of 2007.

Corporate Bonus and Profit Sharing Plans

We have an incentive cash bonus plan that provides for payments to officers and key employees and other non-commissioned eligible employees. Our plan requires the achievement of certain profits from normal operations, as set annually by the Board of Directors.

Prior to 2006, there were separate plans for the Corporate Management Bonus and Profit Sharing. The Corporate Management Plan was based on certain financial and operational objectives and the Profit Sharing Plan was based on certain quarterly financial goals. There were no accruals made under these plans for 2005.

For 2006, we modified both our management incentive bonus plan and profit sharing plan to create one corporate-wide plan. Under this plan, we had to achieve certain profits from normal operations in the second half in order for any payments to be made. This target was achieved for the second half of 2006 and $1.2 million was accrued at December 31, 2006. These amounts were paid in February of 2007.

For 2007, we had to achieve certain annual profits from normal operations in order for any payments to be made under the Corporate Bonus Plan. This target was achieved for 2007 and $3.4 million was accrued at December 31, 2007. These amounts were paid in February of 2008.

Forward Exchange Contracts

All forward exchange contracts entered into by us are components of hedging programs and are entered into for the sole purpose of hedging an existing or expected foreign currency exposure, not for speculation or trading purposes. At December 31, 2007, outstanding forward exchange contracts, which matured no later than February of 2008, were as follows (rates are quoted as other currency unit per one United States dollar).

At the end of each quarter, existing forward exchange contracts are revalued at the month-end forward rate. Our theoretical risk in these transactions is the cost of replacing, at current market rates, these forward exchange contracts in the event of default by the counterparty. At December 31, 2007, there was $0.4 million in current assets and zero in other current liabilities related to forward exchange contracts.

(7) Cash Paid for Interest

Cash paid for interest was less than $0.1 million in 2007, $0.1 million in 2006 and $0.1 million in 2005, including interest on tax payments.

(8) Preferred Stock

We have authorized the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share. Our Board of Directors has the authority, without further shareholder approval, to issue Preferred Stock in one or more series and to fix the rights and preferences thereof. At December 31, 2007, 400,000 shares were designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (described below) and the remaining 4,600,000 shares were undesignated.

Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock

In July of 1999, our Board designated 400,000 shares of Preferred Stock as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (“Series A Stock”) in connection with the adoption of a shareholder rights plan (see Note 9 for more detail). In general, each share of Series A Stock will: (i) be entitled to a minimum preferential quarterly dividend of $10 per share or, if greater, an aggregate dividend of 1,000 times the dividend declared per share of Common Stock; (ii) in the event of liquidation, be entitled to a minimum preferential liquidation payment of $1,000 per share and to an aggregate payment of 1,000 times the payment made per share of Common Stock; (iii) have 1,000 votes, voting together with the Common Stock; (iv) in the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in which Common Stock is exchanged, be entitled to receive 1,000 times the amount received per share of Common Stock and (v) not be redeemable. These rights are protected by customary anti-dilution provisions. There are no shares of Series A Stock outstanding.

(9) Preferred Stock Purchase Rights

In July of 1999, we adopted a shareholder rights plan (the “1999 Rights Plan”) and declared a dividend of five rights for each outstanding share of our Common Stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 16, 1999. Each right, when exercisable, entitles the registered holder to purchase from us ¹/1000 of a share of Series A Stock, at a purchase price of $28.88 in cash, subject to adjustment. The rights will not become exercisable unless a person acquires beneficial ownership of 20% or more of our Common Stock or commences a tender offer that, if consummated, would result in a person acquiring 20% or more of our Common Stock. At any time prior to the tenth business day (or such later date as may be determined by our Board of Directors) after a person acquires 20% or more of our Common Stock and in certain other circumstances, we may redeem the rights at a price of $.001 per right, payable in cash or stock. The rights expire on July 29, 2009, unless earlier redeemed or exchanged.

If any person or group becomes a beneficial owner of 20% or more of our Common Stock, each right not owned by a 20% stockholder will enable its holder to purchase such number of shares of our Common Stock as is equal to the exercise price of the right divided by one-half of the current market price of our Common Stock on the date of the occurrence of the event. In addition, if we thereafter engage in a merger or other business combination with another person or group which we are not the surviving corporation or in connection with which our Common Stock is changed or converted, or if we sell or transfer 50% or more of our assets or earning power to another person, each right that has not previously been exercised or voided will entitle its holder to purchase such number of shares of common stock of such other person as is equal to the exercise price of the right divided by one-half of the current market price of the common stock of such other person on the date of the occurrence of the event.

(10) Stock-Based Compensation Plans

Stock Option Plans

Prior to May 23, 2007, we had two stock incentive plans: the 1987 Plan and the 1997 Plan. The 1987 Plan has expired and no further grants may be made under this plan. The 1997 Plan provided for the grant of incentive stock options (“ISOs”) intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, nonstatutory stock options (“NSOs”) and restricted stock awards. Under the 1997 Plan, we were authorized to grant options for up to 4,100,000 shares of Common Stock to our officers, key employees, directors, consultants and advisors. The exercise price of ISOs granted under the 1997 Plan could not be less than 100% of the fair market value at the date of grant; NSOs could be granted with exercise prices below the fair market value of our Common Stock as of the date of grant, subject to certain limitations. The duration of options awarded under this plan could not exceed ten years from the date of grant, except for those options granted in non-U.S. jurisdictions, which could be granted with a term of up to 11 years. The 1997 Plan expired in January of 2007 and no other options have been granted under the plan after its expiration date; however, all outstanding, un-expired options under the 1997 Plan remain in effect.

We also had a 1995 Director Plan (which was amended during 1997 and 1998) and a 2005 Director Stock Option Plan (the “2005 Director Plan”). The 1995 Director Plan expired on April 25, 2005 and no further options may be granted under this plan; however, all outstanding, un-expired options under the 1995 Director Plan remain in effect. The 2005 Director Plan was approved by our shareholders to replace the 1995 Director Plan. Upon approval of the 2005 Director Plan, an adjustment grant of 10,000 options was automatically made to each individual who served as Director immediately prior to and immediately following the 2005 Annual Shareholders Meeting. Under the 2005 Director Plan, we could grant options for up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock. The 2005 Director Plan provided for the grant to each non-employee Director of our Company, on his or her initial election as a Director, an option to purchase 20,000 shares of Common Stock. In addition to the initial option grant, each non-employee Director was granted an option to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock on the date of each Annual Shareholder Meeting beginning with the 2006 Annual Shareholder Meeting provided such optionee had been a Director for the preceding six months. All options granted under these plans were NSOs. All options generally became exercisable in four or five equal annual installments, commencing approximately one year from the date of grant, provided the holder continued to serve as a Director of our Company. Under these plans, the exercise price per share of the option was equal to the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant of the option. Any options granted under these plans had to be exercised no later than ten years from the date of grant.

(10) Stock-Based Compensation Plans (Continued)

The 2005 Director Plan was terminated on May 23, 2007, as a result of the shareholder approval of the new 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”), and no further options have been granted under this plan after its termination date; however, all outstanding, un-expired options under the 2005 Director Plan remain in effect.

The 2007 Plan was approved by our shareholders on May 23, 2007. The 2007 Plan provides for the grant of various awards including incentive stock options (as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code), nonqualified options, restricted shares, performance awards and other stock based awards, as determined at the time of grant. Under the 2007 Plan, we can grant options or awards for up to 5,500,000 shares of Common Stock to our employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors. The exercise price for all options granted under the plan will be the closing price of our Common Stock on the date of grant. Each option shall be exercisable at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as the Board may specify in the applicable option agreement. The duration of options awarded under this plan cannot exceed ten years from the date of grant, except as may be required under laws of other countries. The Board may award restricted shares of our Common Stock, which shares may be subject to risk of forfeiture or restrictions as may be imposed by the Board. The total of all shares subject to awards other than stock options may not exceed 33% of the authorized shares under the 2007 Plan. At December 31, 2007, we had reserved 5,500,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to awards granted or to be granted under this plan.

The following table presents the aggregate options and restricted stock awards granted, exercised and forfeited under all Plans for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 at their respective weighted average exercise prices.

We defined “in-the-money” options at December 31, 2007 as options that had exercise prices that were lower than the $3.47 average closing market price of our Common Stock for the year ended December 31, 2007. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding at December 31, 2007 is calculated by taking the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the market price of our Common Stock for the shares that were in-the-money at that date. There were 2,193,952 in-the-money options outstanding at December 31, 2007. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding at December 31, 2007 was $1.4 million while the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during 2007 was $0.2 million and the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable at December 31, 2007 was $0.6 million. The weighted average remaining contractual term of options exercisable is 6.6 years. At December 31, 2007, options which vested during the year totaled 1,902,228 and had a total fair value of $0.3 million.

Our total net share-based compensation expense for stock options was $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007; $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 and $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The total tax benefit related to this share-based compensation was immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. The total net share-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

At December 31, 2007, there was $1.3 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested, share-based compensation arrangements granted under all equity compensation plans. Total unrecognized compensation costs will be adjusted for future changes in estimated forfeitures. We expect to recognize those costs over a weighted average period of 5.2 years.

Cash received from option exercises under all share-based payment arrangements was approximately $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The actual tax benefits that we realized as tax deductions for non-qualified option exercises and disqualifying dispositions under all share-based payment arrangements were immaterial for the year ended December 31, 2007.

(11) Retirement Plan

The Iomega Retirement and Investment Savings Plan (the “IRIS Plan”) includes 100% employer matching contributions for the first $750 contributed by the employee and after the first $750, matching of $0.60 for every dollar contributed up to 8% of employees’ eligible contributions. Also part of the plan is a two-year cliff-vesting schedule, meaning that an employee is fully vested in their employer match after two years of service. The IRIS Plan provides for a discretionary performance match up to 3% of eligible earnings, subject to limits imposed by the IRS. The discretionary performance match is based on Company profitability goals, with the match percentage, if any, determined annually by our Board of Directors. The IRIS Plan permits eligible employees to make tax deferred investments through payroll deductions. The IRIS Plan is subject to compliance with Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code and the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). Under the terms of the IRIS Plan, all employee contributions are immediately vested in full. We contributed approximately $0.7 million in 2007, $0.6 million in 2006 and $1.0 million in 2005 to the IRIS Plan; however, no discretionary performance match contributions were made in any of these years.

Product Operating Income (Loss)

Product operating income is defined as sales and other income related to a segment’s operations, less both fixed and variable product costs, and direct and allocated operating expenses. Operating expenses are charged to the product segments on a direct method or as a percentage of sales. When such costs and expenses exceed sales and other income, this is referred to as a product operating loss. The accounting policies of the product segments are the same as those described in Note 1. Intersegment sales, eliminated in consolidation, are not material. Non-allocated operating expenses include restructuring charges and certain extraordinary expenses.

Geographic Information

The majority of our sales are generated outside of the United States. We have our International headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland and our Corporate Headquarters in San Diego, California. In addition, we have sales offices located in several locations in North America and a sales office in Geneva, Switzerland. There are marketing and market development organizations in several locations in Western Europe and Asia. Our operations, research and development, facilities and other administrative functions are located in Roy, Utah.

Research and development costs are allocated from the United States operations to the Switzerland subsidiary based on a cost sharing agreement as determined by an independent economic study.

Beginning in January of 2007, certain administrative and management expenses are charged to Switzerland based on an intercompany agreement as determined by a cost study.

Following is a summary of our U.S. and significant non-U.S. country sales and the U.S. and significant non-U.S. country long-lived assets. Many of the U.S. assets are located at vendors outside of the U.S., but are managed by and assigned to operations within the U.S. Sales are attributed to individual countries based on the location of sales to unaffiliated customers based on shipping location.

Intangible Assets

At December 31, 2007, we had $0.8 million in net intangible assets, all of which are subject to amortization. Our intangible assets include the OfficeScreen Trade name and technology, and customer and vendor relationships obtained through the CSCI acquisition. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method, our best estimate of the pattern of economic benefit, over the estimated useful life of the asset, subject to periodic review for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Amortization expense was $0.2 million in 2007, $0.8 million in 2006 and $1.8 million in 2005. Amortization expense for each of the next five fiscal years is anticipated to be $0.2 million in 2008 through 2010 and $0.1 million in 2011. At December 31, 2007, the weighted average useful life of our intangible assets is approximately 4.8 years.

Concentration of Credit Risk

We market our products primarily through computer product distributors, DMRs, retailers and OEMs. Accordingly, as we grant credit to our customers, a substantial portion of outstanding trade receivables are due from computer product distributors, certain large retailers and OEMs. If any one or a group of these customers’ receivable balances should be deemed uncollectible, it would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

The table below shows the balances of the customers with the ten highest outstanding gross trade receivables balances as well as the customer with the largest gross trade receivable balance.

(a)	Deductions represent (write-offs) recoveries of trade receivables.

(b)	Additions reduce sales. Deductions represent credits granted against trade receivables.

(c)

We use a statistical-based model to estimate warranty accrual requirements. Generally, if a product is subject to failure or likely to fail, the product fails early in the usage cycle. Therefore, a significant amount of the deductions and charges against the reserve during the year are for products sold during that same year.

(d)	Deductions reflect product scrap, sales of reserved product and other usage.

(e)	Deductions reflect payments to suppliers and other usage.

(f)	Additions reduce sales. These amounts represent the deferred revenue associated with estimated sales returns that is reflected as a reduction in trade receivables. Deductions reflect actual returns.
