        The following summary highlights information contained in this prospectus.

Issuer

        InfoSonics Corporation, a Maryland corporation.

Our Business

        InfoSonics is one of the largest distributors of wireless handsets and accessories in the United States and Mexico. We also distribute products in other portions of North, Central and South America. We distribute products of several key manufacturers, including Audiovox, Kyocera, LG, Motorola, Nokia, Panasonic, Samsung and Sony-Ericsson. Our distribution services include the purchasing, marketing, selling, warehousing, order assembly, programming, packing, shipping, and delivery of handsets for wireless telecommunications from leading manufacturers to agents, resellers, distributors, independent dealers and retailers in the United States and to wireless network operators and resellers in Latin America. Our distribution activities in Mexico are conducted through our subsidiary, InfoSonics de Mexico, S.A.

        As a part of our distribution activities, we perform value added services when requested by the customer. These services include but are not limited to programming, locking, software loading, packaging, and quality assurance testing. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and the year ended December 31, 2002, approximately 93% and 92%, respectively, of our revenues were from distribution.

        We operate distribution hubs in San Diego, California and Miami, Florida. The San Diego facility primarily serves the needs of our West Coast and Midwest customers while the Florida location services customers primarily on the East Coast and in Latin America.

        In addition to our distribution services, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Axcess Mobile, LLC, owns and operates nine retail kiosks in the San Diego, California area selling handsets, accessories and AT&T Wireless activation directly to end users. Our subsidiary offers retail customers the opportunity to subscribe to AT&T Wireless services and to purchase handsets and accessories. We resell AT&T Wireless service in the San Diego area under an agreement that expires June 30, 2004 and that automatically extends for successive one-year periods under the same terms unless terminated by either party.

        Since our founding in 1994, we have grown our business by focusing on the needs of our customers, developing and maintaining close relationships with manufacturers, entering new markets, and sourcing new and innovative products, while maintaining close attention to operational efficiencies and costs. From 1998 through 2002, we have increased revenues from $16.8 million to $46.6 million, representing a compounded annual growth rate of 29.1%. Also over the past five years, operating income has increased from approximately $316,000 to approximately $743,000, yielding a compounded annual growth rate of 23.8%. During the same period, our net income also increased from approximately $233,000 to approximately $427,000, a compound annual growth rate of 16.3%.

Our Growth Strategy

        We intend to continue to increase sales and profitability and to solidify our position as one of the largest distributors of wireless handsets and accessories in the United States and Mexico, in addition to increasing distribution in North America, Central America and South America. Our growth strategy includes:

        Leveraging our Existing Infrastructure to Increase Market Share.    We currently have sales and warehouse operations in both San Diego, California and Miami, Florida. By utilizing this geographic diversity and our established relationships with manufacturers, we believe we can increase our sales with relatively low additional costs, resulting in increased earnings. In addition, we have customized a licensed software package for an information and customer management system that allows us to track not only every customer order from purchase order to delivery, but also to identify customer and geographic trends. This system is scalable, and under constant improvement to streamline operations and maximize operational efficiencies.

        Expanding Business Offerings.    We intend to expand our business offerings to include outsourced integrated logistics services to the wireless telecommunications industry. These services include inventory management, product fulfillment, preparation of product kits, and customized packaging, light assembly and end-user support services. These services are designed to provide outsourcing solutions not only for the wireless network operators, but also internet retailers and other mass merchants. This service supports their efforts to add new subscribers and increase system usage and revenues while minimizing their investments in distribution infrastructure.

        Targeting New Markets.    We intend to target new markets, such as rural service areas or RSAs, which we believe will enable us to increase sales by introducing products from certain of our manufacturer suppliers that have not been previously sold into these markets. Utilizing our relationships with manufacturers, and our knowledge of this untapped market, we believe we can add revenues as well as gross profit.

        Expanding Manufacturer Relationships.    We put great emphasis on developing new, and improving our existing, wireless equipment manufacturer relationships and thereby broadening our product portfolio. We currently have relationships with five of the top manufacturers and are working to develop distribution relationships with the others as well as with new, innovative manufacturers. We believe that by expanding our manufacturing relationships, we can offer the most innovative product lines, brands and technologies within the markets we serve.

        Improving Operating Efficiencies.    We constantly monitor our operations to improve our cost structure in order to maintain and increase profitability and productivity. We continuously evaluate opportunities to operate more efficiently by monitoring returns on invested capital, working to obtain better purchase terms, more effectively using our capital resources, implementing workforce management programs, and centralizing back-office operations.

        Geographic Expansion.    In the future we intend to expand our operations through enhanced warehouse and operational facilities in California and Florida as well as other potential locations. These activities are intended to expand our geographic presence, increase our customer base, improve our product portfolio, and add new capabilities and service offerings. Potential expansion includes, but is not limited to, local warehouse and operational facilities in the mid-western United States and Latin America.

        Expanding Retail Operations.    We currently operate nine retail kiosks in shopping malls in the San Diego area where we sell handsets, accessories and AT&T Wireless phone service directly to end users. Because this business unit has significantly higher gross margins than our distribution business, we

2



intend to pursue the possibility of opening and operating additional retail locations in other large metropolitan markets.

RISK FACTORS

        Before you invest in shares of our common stock, you should be aware that the occurrence of any of the events described in this risk factors section and elsewhere in this prospectus could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. You should carefully consider these risk factors, together with all other information included in this prospectus, before you decide to purchase shares of our common stock.

Risks Relating To Our Business

Our operating results may vary significantly.

        Our operating results are influenced by a number of factors, which may cause our revenue and operating results to fluctuate. These factors include:

        Our business has historically experienced increased sales at the end of the calendar year. This and other seasonal factors contribute to the usual increase in our sales during the third and the fourth quarter of our fiscal year in certain markets. In addition, if unanticipated events occur, including delays in securing adequate inventories of competitive products at times of peak sales or significant decreases in sales during these periods, it could result in a material decrease in our revenues and losses or lower profits.

We buy a significant amount of our products from a limited number of suppliers, who may not provide us with competitive products at reasonable prices when we need them in the future.

        We purchase wireless handsets and accessories principally from wireless communications equipment manufacturers and distributors. We depend on these suppliers to provide us with adequate inventories of currently popular brand name products on a timely basis and on favorable pricing and other terms. Our agreements with our principal suppliers are non-exclusive, require us to satisfy minimum purchase requirements, can be terminated on short notice and provide for certain territorial restrictions, as is common in our industry. Our suppliers may not offer us competitive products on favorable terms or with timely delivery. From time to time, we have been unable to obtain sufficient product supplies. Any failure or delay by our suppliers in supplying us with products on favorable terms may severely diminish our ability to obtain and deliver products to our customers on a timely and competitive basis. If we lose any of our principal suppliers, or if these suppliers are unable to fulfill our product needs, or if any principal supplier imposes substantial price increases and alternative sources of supply are not readily available, it would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

The loss or reduction in orders from principal customers or a reduction in prices we are able to charge these customers could materially adversely affect our business.

        Our two largest customers accounted for approximately 24% and approximately 22%, respectively, of our product sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and the year ended December 31, 2002. The markets we serve are subject to severe price competition. Additionally, our customers are not contractually obligated to purchase product from us. For this and other reasons customers may seek to obtain products or services from us at lower prices than we have been able to obtain from these

5



customers in the past. The loss of any of our principal customers, a reduction in the amount of product or services our principal customers order from us or the inability to maintain current terms, including price, with these or other customers could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. We have experienced losses of certain customers through industry consolidation and ordinary course of business and there can be no assurance that any of our customers will continue to purchase products or services from us or that their purchases will be at the same or greater levels than in prior periods.

We may not be able to maintain existing margins for products or services offered by us or increase our sales.

        The gross margins that we realize on sales of wireless handsets could be reduced due to increased competition or a growing industry emphasis on cost containment. Therefore, our future profitability will depend on our ability to maintain our margins or to increase our sales to help offset potential future declines in margins. We may not be able to maintain existing margins for products or services offered by us or increase our sales. Our ability to generate sales is based upon demand for wireless telecommunications products and our having an adequate supply of these products. Even if our sales rates do increase, the gross margins that we receive from our sales may not be sufficient to make our future operations profitable or as profitable.

Our business depends on the continued tendency of wireless equipment manufacturers and network operators to outsource aspects of their business to us.

        Our business depends in large part on wireless equipment manufacturers and network operators outsourcing some of their business functions to us. We provide functions such as distribution, inventory management, customized packaging, activation management and other services. Certain wireless equipment manufacturers and network operators have elected, and others may elect, to undertake these services internally. Additionally, our customer service levels, industry consolidation, competition, deregulation, technological changes or other factors could reduce the degree to which members of the wireless telecommunications industry rely on outsourced services such as the services we provide. Any significant change in the market for these services could have a material adverse effect on our current and planned business.

Our business may be adversely impacted by consolidation of wireless network operators.

        The past several years have witnessed a consolidation within the wireless network operator community. If this trend continues, it could result in a reduction or elimination of promotional activities by the remaining wireless network operators as they seek to reduce their expenditures which could, in turn, result in decreased demand for our products or services. Moreover, consolidation of wireless network operators reduces the number of potential contracts available to us. We could also lose business if wireless network operators, which currently are our customers, are acquired by other wireless network operators which are not our customers. Wireless operators may also change their policy regarding sales to their agents by independent distributors, such as requiring those agents to purchase products from the wireless operator or manufacturer, rather than from distributors such as InfoSonics. This type of requirement could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our operations may be materially affected by fluctuations in regional demand patterns and economic factors.

        The demand for our products and services has fluctuated and may continue to vary substantially within the regions served by us. We believe the roll-out of third generation, or 3G, cellular telephone systems and other new technologies, which has been delayed and could further be delayed, has had and will continue to have an effect on overall subscriber growth and handset replacement demand. Economic slow-downs in regions served by us or changes in promotional programs offered by wireless

6



network operators may lower consumer demand for our products and create higher levels of inventories which could decrease our gross and operating margins. We could face a substantial inventory risk due to depreciation and equipment price erosion if our products are not sold in a timely manner. We believe our operations were adversely affected by an economic slow-down in the United States starting in the fourth quarter of 2000. A prolonged economic slow-down in the United States or any other regions in which we have significant operations could negatively impact our results of operations and financial position.

Rapid technological changes in the wireless telecommunications industry could have a material adverse effect on our business.

        The technology relating to wireless telecommunications equipment changes rapidly resulting in product obsolescence or short product life cycles. We are required to anticipate future technological changes in our industry and to continually identify, obtain and market new products in order to satisfy evolving industry and customer requirements. Competitors or manufacturers of wireless equipment may market products which have perceived or actual advantages over products that we handle or which otherwise render those products obsolete or less marketable. We have made and continue to make significant capital investments in accordance with evolving industry and customer requirements including maintaining levels of inventories of currently popular products that we believe are necessary based on current market conditions. This utilization of capital for inventory buildup of this nature increases our risk of loss due to product obsolescence.

Substantial defaults by our customers on accounts receivables could have a significant negative impact on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

        We currently offer and intend to offer open account terms to certain of our customers, which may subject us to credit risks, particularly to the extent that our receivables represent sales to a limited number of customers or are concentrated in particular geographic markets. Although we have an accounts receivable insurance policy, this policy carries a substantial deductible and may not cover us in all instances. We also have an accounts receivable credit facility in order to reduce our working capital requirements. The extent of our ability to use our accounts receivable credit facility is dependent on the amount of and collection cycle of our accounts receivable. Adverse changes in our ability to use accounts receivable financing could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

We rely on our suppliers to provide trade credit facilities to adequately fund our on-going operations and product purchases.

        Our business is dependent on our ability to obtain adequate supplies of currently popular products on favorable pricing and other terms. Our ability to fund our product purchases is dependent on our principal suppliers providing favorable payment terms that allow us to maximize the efficiency of our capital usage. The payment terms we receive from our suppliers are dependent on several factors, including, but not limited to, our payment history with the supplier, the suppliers' credit granting policies, contractual provisions, our overall credit rating as determined by various credit rating agencies, industry conditions, our recent operating results, financial position and cash flows and the supplier's ability to obtain credit insurance on amounts that we owe them. Adverse changes in any of these factors, certain of which may not be wholly in our control, could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

7



Approximately 7% of our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were generated outside of the United States in countries that may have political or other risks.

        We engage in sales activities in territories and countries outside of the United States. The fact that we distribute products into a number of countries exposes us to increased credit risks, customs duties, import quotas and other trade restrictions, potentially greater inflationary pressures, and shipping delays. Changes may occur in social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing foreign trade and investment in the territories and countries where we currently distribute products. United States laws and regulations relating to investment and trade in foreign countries could also change to our detriment. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. Although we purchase and sell products and services in United States Dollars and do not engage in exchange swaps, futures or options contracts or other hedging techniques, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could reduce demand for products sold in United States dollars. We cannot predict the effect that future exchange rate fluctuations will have on our operating results. We may in the future engage in currency hedging transactions, which could result in our incurring significant additional losses.

We rely on our information system technology to function effectively without interruptions.

        We have focused on the application of our information system technology to provide customized services to wireless communications equipment manufacturers and network operators. Our ability to meet our customers' technical and performance requirements is highly dependent on the effective functioning of our information technology systems, which may experience interruptions. These business interruptions could cause us to fall below acceptable performance levels pursuant to our customers' requirements and could result in the loss of the related business relationship.

We have outstanding indebtedness, which is secured by substantially all our assets and which could prevent us from borrowing additional funds, if needed.

        We have senior debt in the amount of approximately $5.2 million at December 31, 2003 (approximately $5.5 million at September 30, 2003). If we violate our loan covenants, default on our obligations or become subject to a change of control, our indebtedness would become immediately due and payable, and the banks could foreclose on our assets. Our senior credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets and borrowing availability is based primarily on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable. Consequently, any significant decrease in eligible accounts receivable will limit our ability to borrow additional funds to adequately finance our operations and expansion strategies. The terms of our senior credit facility could substantially prohibit us from incurring additional indebtedness, which could limit our ability to expand our operations. The terms of our senior credit facility also include negative covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to sell certain assets and make certain payments, including but not limited to, dividends, repurchases of common stock and other payments outside the normal course of business as well as prohibiting us from merging or consolidating with another corporation or selling all or substantially all of our assets.

The wireless telecommunications industry is intensely competitive and we may not be able to continue to compete successfully in this industry.

        We compete for sales of wireless telecommunications equipment and accessories, and expect that we will continue to compete, with numerous well-established wireless network operators, distributors and manufacturers, including our own suppliers. Many of our competitors possess greater financial and other resources than we do and may market similar products or services directly to our customers. Distribution of wireless telecommunications equipment and accessories has generally had low barriers to entry. As a result, additional competitors may choose to enter our industry in the future. The markets for wireless handsets and accessories are characterized by intense price competition and

8



significant price erosion over the life of a product. Many of our competitors have the financial resources to withstand substantial price competition and to implement extensive advertising and promotional programs, both generally and in response to efforts by additional competitors to enter into new markets or introduce new products. Our ability to continue to compete successfully will depend largely on our ability to maintain our current industry relationships. We may not be successful in anticipating and responding to competitive factors affecting our industry, including new or changing outsourcing requirements, the entry of additional well-capitalized competitors, new products which may be introduced, changes in consumer preferences, demographic trends, international, national, regional and local economic conditions and competitors' discount pricing and promotion strategies. As wireless telecommunications markets mature and as we seek to enter into new markets and offer new products in the future, the competition that we face may change and grow more intense.

Our continued growth depends on retaining our current key employees and attracting additional qualified personnel.

        Our success depends in large part on the abilities and continued service of our executive officers and other key employees, particularly Joseph Ram, our Chief Executive Officer. Although we have entered into employment agreements with several of our officers and employees, including Mr. Ram, we may not be able to retain their services under applicable law. The loss of executive officers or other key personnel could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, in order to support our continued growth, we will be required to effectively recruit, develop and retain additional qualified management. If we are unable to attract and retain additional necessary personnel, it could delay or hinder our plans for growth.

We rely on trade secret laws and agreements with our key employees and other third parties to protect our proprietary rights.

        We rely on trade secret laws to protect our proprietary knowledge, particularly our database of customers and suppliers and business terms such as pricing. In general, we also have non-disclosure agreements with our key employees and limit access to and distribution of our trade secrets and other proprietary information. These measures may prove difficult to enforce and may not prove adequate to prevent misappropriation of our proprietary information.

We may become subject to suits alleging medical risks associated with our wireless handsets.

        Lawsuits or claims have been filed or made against manufacturers of wireless handsets over the past years alleging possible medical risks, including brain cancer, associated with the electromagnetic fields emitted by wireless communications handsets. There has been only limited relevant research in this area, and this research has not been conclusive as to what effects, if any, exposure to electromagnetic fields emitted by wireless handsets has on human cells. Substantially all of our revenues are derived, either directly or indirectly, from sales of wireless handsets. We may become subject to lawsuits filed by plaintiffs alleging various health risks from our products. If any future studies find possible health risks associated with the use of wireless handsets or if any damages claim against us is successful, it could have a material adverse effect on our business. Even an unsubstantiated perception that health risks exist could adversely affect our ability or the ability of our customers to market wireless handsets.

Risks Related To This Prospectus And The Common Stock

Stockholders may be diluted as a result of future offerings or other financings.

        Even if we sell the 2,000,000 shares offered in this initial public offering, we may need to raise additional capital through one or more future public offerings, private placements or other financings

9



involving our securities. As a result of these financings, none of which are currently planned, ownership interests in our company may be greatly diluted.

There is no prior public market for our common stock, and our stock price could be volatile and could decline following this offering, resulting in a substantial loss on your investment.

        Prior to this offering, there has not been a public market for our common stock. An active trading market for our common stock may never develop or be sustained, which could affect your ability to sell your shares and could depress the market price of your shares. In addition, the initial public offering price has been determined through negotiations between us and the representatives of the underwriters and may bear no relationship to the price at which the common stock will trade upon completion of this offering. The stock market in general, and the market for telecommunications-related stocks in particular, has been highly volatile. As a result, the market price of our common stock is likely to be similarly volatile, and investors in our common stock may experience a decrease in the value of their stock, including decreases unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. The price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors, including those listed in this "Risk Factors" section of this prospectus. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management's attention and resources.

Shares of common stock that are issuable pursuant to our stock option plans and our outstanding warrants could result in dilution to existing stockholders and could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

        We have reserved shares of common stock that may be issuable pursuant to our stock option plans and our outstanding options outside those plans. These securities, when issued and outstanding, may reduce earnings per share under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and, to the extent that they are exercised and shares of common stock are issued, dilute percentage ownership to existing stockholders which could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

The ability of our stockholders to control our policies or affect a change in control of our company is limited, which may not be in our stockholders' best interests.

        Some provisions of our charter and bylaws and the General Corporation Law of Maryland, where we are incorporated, may delay or prevent a change in control of our company or other transactions that could provide our common stockholders with a premium over the then-prevailing market price of our common stock or that might otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders. These include the ability of our Board of Directors to authorize the issuance of preferred stock without stockholder approval, which preferred stock may have voting provisions that could delay or prevent a change in control or other transaction that might involve a premium price or otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders. Maryland law imposes restrictions on some business combinations and requires compliance with statutory procedures before some mergers and acquisitions can occur. These provisions of Maryland law may have the effect of discouraging offers to acquire us even if the acquisition would be advantageous to our stockholders.

10


We will continue to be controlled by our current stockholders, who may have strategic interests that differ from those of our other stockholders.

        Upon completion of this offering, assuming the underwriters' over-allotment option is not exercised, our current stockholders will beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 61.5% of our outstanding common stock. For the foreseeable future, to the extent that our current stockholders vote similarly, they will be able to exercise control over many matters requiring approval by the board of directors or our stockholders. As a result, they will be able to:


SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that may be affected by matters outside our control that could cause materially different results.

        Certain statements in this document constitute "forward-looking statements." These forward-looking statements involve known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of InfoSonics to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Specifically, 1) the actions of competitors and customers and our ability to execute our business plans; and 2) our ability to increase revenues and operating income is dependent upon our ability to continue to expand our current businesses and to enter new business areas, general economic conditions, and other factors. You can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continues" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected-in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.


DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

        The offering price of the common stock was arbitrarily determined by our management after consultation with our underwriters and was based upon consideration of our history and prospects, the background of our management and current conditions in the securities markets. The price does not bear any relationship to our assets, book value, net worth or other economic or recognized criteria of value. In no event should the offering price be regarded as an indicator of any future market price of our securities.


USE OF PROCEEDS

        We estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately $12.0 million from this offering, based on an assumed initial public offering price of $            per share and no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses. As set forth in the table below, we expect to use portions of the net proceeds of the offering for working capital and capital expenditures, including increased selling and marketing activities and personnel, increased inventory levels, expansion of our retail wireless activation business, and implementing a logistics services business. We have not yet

11



allocated specific amounts for these purposes, and the amounts set forth below are only estimates that could change for numerous reasons. In addition, we intend to consider the possibility of using a portion of the net proceeds to acquire or invest in related businesses or products. We have no commitments with respect to any acquisition or investment, and we are not involved in any negotiations with respect to any similar transaction. Our anticipated uses of net proceeds of this offering are as follows:

Accelerated growth of distribution business:      
  Increase sales and marketing activities, and personnel for marketing, distribution and related services   $ 700,000
  Increase inventory     5,000,000
  Expand warehouse and office space     800,000
   
    $ 6,500,000

Expansion of retail wireless activations and handset sales

 

 

1,500,000

Implementation of logistics services business

 

 

2,000,000

Additional working capital, including possible investment in related businesses or products

 

 

2,000,000
   

Total

 

$

12,000,000

        The estimated amounts and uses set forth above indicate our intentions for the use of the net proceeds from the offering. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the status of available product from the manufacturers, sales and marketing activities, technological advances, amount of cash generated or used by our operations and competition. We may find it necessary or advisable to use the net proceeds for other purposes, and we will have broad discretion in the application of the balance of the net proceeds. Pending the uses described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds in certificates of deposit, short-term obligations of the United States government, or other money-market instruments that are rated investment grade or its equivalent.


DIVIDEND POLICY

        We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business. Accordingly, we do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our board of directors will have discretion, in determining whether to declare or pay dividends, which will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and such other factors as the board of directors deems relevant. In addition, covenants in our credit agreement impose restrictions on our ability to declare and pay cash dividends in the event that we are in default.


CAPITALIZATION

        The following table sets forth the capitalization of InfoSonics as of September 30, 2003, on an actual basis, and on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the initial public offering of 2,000,000

shares of common stock, after deducting estimated discounts, commissions and offering expenses, without regard to the underwriters' over-allotment option, as if it had occurred on September 30, 2003.

The unaudited pro forma capitalization as of September 30, 2003, gives effect to the proceeds from the offering and the use of proceeds as if they had occurred on September 30, 2003. Such unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared based on estimates and assumptions deemed by InfoSonics to be appropriate and does not purport to be indicative of the results which would actually have been obtained or which may be obtained in the future.

(3)
The pro forma Paid-in capital includes the estimated net proceeds from the offering of $12.0 million reduced by the par value of the common stock to be issued.


DILUTION

        InfoSonics' net tangible book value as of September 30, 2003, was $1,447,052, or $.45 per share. Net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets, reduced by the amount of our total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding.

        After giving effect to the sale in this offering of 2,000,000 shares of common stock at the initial public offering price of $            per share as if it had occurred on September 30, 2003, the as adjusted net tangible book value of the Company as of September 30, 2003 would have been $            , or $            per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $            per share to the current stockholders of InfoSonics and an immediate dilution of $            per share, or     percent, to new investors.

        The following table illustrates the per share dilution in net tangible book value to new investors:

Public offering price per share   $  
  Net tangible book value per share before the Offering   $ .45
  Increase per share attributable to new investors   $  
Net tangible book value per share after the Offering   $  
Dilution per share to new investors   $  

        The following table summarizes, on a pro forma basis, after the closing of the initial public offering at the assumed price of $            per share, the differences in total consideration paid or delivered by the existing stockholders, including our officers and directors, for the 3,200,000 shares of

13



common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2003 and the average price per share paid by the existing stockholders and new investors with respect to the number of shares of common stock purchased:

        The information presented above assumes no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option, the underwriters' warrants, or any other outstanding options to acquire our common stock. 775,000 shares of our common stock have been reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options that may be granted pursuant to InfoSonics' 2003 Stock Option Plan and 858,700 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options granted under the 1998 Stock Option Plan. Of the 353,000 options granted under the 2003 Plan, none currently are exercisable. All options granted under the 1998 Plan are exercisable. An additional 245,000 shares of common stock may be issued upon the exercise of outstanding stock options granted outside the option plans. The issuance of common stock upon the exercise of outstanding options or additional options granted pursuant to the 2003 Stock Option Plan or outside that plan may result in further dilution to new investors.

BUSINESS

Company Overview

        InfoSonics is one of the largest distributors of wireless handsets and accessories in the United States and Mexico. We also distribute products in other portions of North, Central and South America. We distribute products of several key manufacturers, including Audiovox, Kyocera, LG, Motorola, Nokia, Panasonic, Samsung and Sony-Ericsson. In addition to our distribution services, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Axcess Mobile, LLC, owns and operates nine retail kiosks in the San Diego, California area selling handsets, accessories and AT&T Wireless activation directly to end users.

        From 1998 through 2002, we have increased revenues from $16.8 million to $46.6 million representing a compounded annual growth rate of 29.1%. Also over the past five years, operating income has increased from approximately $316,000 to approximately $743,000, yielding a compounded annual growth rate of 23.8%. During the same period, our net income also increased from approximately $233,000 to approximately $427,000, a compound annual growth rate of 16.3%.

15



        Distribution.    We operate distribution hubs in San Diego, California and Miami, Florida. The San Diego facility primarily serves the needs of our West Coast and Midwest customers while the Florida location services customers primarily on the East Coast and in Latin America. Our distribution services include the purchasing, marketing, selling, warehousing, order assembly, programming, packing, shipping, and delivery of handsets for wireless telecommunications from leading manufacturers to agents, resellers, distributors, independent dealers and retailers in the United States and to wireless network operators and resellers in Latin America. Our distribution activities in Mexico are conducted through our subsidiary, InfoSonics de Mexico, S.A. Our services are intended to provide value to wireless handset manufacturers and wireless network operators.

        We continually review and evaluate wireless telecommunications products in determining our mix of offered products and seek to acquire distribution rights for products that we believe have the potential for significant market penetration. Through the distribution of wireless telecommunications products, we attempt to assist manufacturers in achieving their business objectives of increasing unit sales volume and market share at the points of sale. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, and September 30, 2002, approximately 93% and 92%, respectively, of our total revenue was derived from our distribution activities.

        Retail Wireless Activations And Handset Sales.    Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Axcess Mobile, LLC, with nine kiosks in the San Diego area, offers retail customers the opportunity to subscribe to AT&T Wireless services and to purchase handsets and accessories. We resell AT&T Wireless service in the San Diego area under an agreement that expires June 30, 2004 and that automatically extends for successive one-year periods under the same terms unless terminated by either party. By agreeing to resell only AT&T Wireless Service in the San Diego area, we receive higher commissions from AT&T than if we were to resell services for multiple carriers. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, our retail wireless operations (including both product sales and activation fees) accounted for approximately 7% and 8%, respectively, of total revenue.

Overview of Wireless Telecommunications Industry

        Rapid technical developments over the last few years within the wireless telecommunications industry have allowed wireless subscribers to talk, send and receive text messages, send and receive e-mails, capture and transmit digital images, send and receive multimedia messages, play games, and browse the Internet using an all-in-one wireless device. Wireless devices and services also are being used around the world to provide monitoring, point-of-sale transaction processing, inter-device communications, local area networks, location monitoring, sales force automation, and customer relationship management. As a result of these advances and new services, we believe that the handset replacement cycle will continue to shorten, leading to increased handset sales.

        The wireless telecommunications industry and its participants have experienced a number of trends in recent years, including

        According to U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray in its 2003 Global Wireless Projections report dated May 2003, the worldwide mobile subscriber base is estimated to double from approximately 730 million subscribers in 2000 to in excess of 1.4 billion by 2004. The North American subscriber base is expected to increase from approximately 130 million in 2000 to approximately 204 million by 2004. The chart below summarizes these and other growth trends.

        In addition to the continued growth of subscribers worldwide, the growth rate of number of handsets sold is expected to increase. Users are expected to accelerate the replacement of handsets due to a number of factors including the normal end of life of older handsets in the population, the existence of phone number portability that began in late November 2003, and the continued addition of advanced features such as color screens, advanced messaging, embedded cameras, more reliable and powerful chipsets and a higher speed access rate to the internet, opening a variety of business and personal applications to the consumer. The chart below summarizes the estimated sales of handsets for the periods indicated.

        We believe the following major factors are taking place within the wireless telecommunications industry.

        Handsets.    The handset replacement rate for 2002 was 21%, and is anticipated to grow to 24% in 2003, and almost 28% in 2004. As a percentage of total sales, replacements were 51% in 2002 and are anticipated to rise to 72% in 2004. Replacement handsets shipped are estimated to grow from 202 million in 2002 to 365 million units in 2004.

        We believe that handset sales in the markets we serve are driven by the following factors: number portability, customer churn, advances in technology, the E911 mandate, new activations, and repair costs.

18


        Industry Consolidation.    Merger and acquisition activity within the wireless network operator community has been driven by improved economies of scale, the opportunity to expand national or multi-national service areas, and efforts to increase revenue and profitability through additional service offerings. This activity has increased the demands placed on the carriers to meet increasingly complex and sophisticated customer requirements and provide services over larger geographic regions while attempting to maintain acceptable levels of profitability. We believe that this trend may continue in the future and may lead wireless network operators to focus more closely on their core business of providing wireless telecommunications services, which could, in turn, increase the need for independent distributors and reduce inventory costs by reducing product codes and obsolescence.

Our Strategy

        We intend to continue to increase sales and profitability and to solidify our position as one of the largest distributors of wireless handsets and accessories in the United States and Mexico, in addition to increasing distribution in North, Central and South America. Our strategy is to grow both horizontally and vertically in the wireless handset industry by

19


        Leverage Infrastructure and Increase Market Share.    We have sales and warehouse operations in both San Diego, California and Miami, Florida. By utilizing this geographic diversity and this existing infrastructure, as well as increases in our infrastructure funded by this offering, and our established relationships with manufacturers, we believe we can increase our sales with relatively low additional cost, resulting in increased earnings. In addition, we have customized a licensed software package for an information and customer management system that allows our employees to track not only every customer order from purchase order to delivery, but also to identify customer and geographic trends. This system is scalable, and under constant improvement to streamline operations and maximize operational efficiencies. The system also analyzes and tracks our relationships with manufacturers and other suppliers so that we can compare our purchasing trends with the overall market. We will continue to make investments in our infrastructure so as to continually enhance our ability to serve our customers and attempt to increase sales.

        Expand Business Offerings.    We intend to expand our business offerings to provide outsourced integrated value-added logistics services to the wireless telecommunications industry. These services will include inventory management, product fulfillment, preparation of product kits, and customized packaging, light assembly and end-user support services. These integrated logistic services are designed to provide outsourcing solutions for the wireless network operators, but also internet retailers and other mass merchants. This service meets their business requirements and supports their efforts to add new subscribers and increase system usage and revenues while minimizing their investments in distribution infrastructure.

        New Target Markets.    We intend to target new markets, such as rural service areas or RSAs, which we believe will enable us to increase sales by introducing products from certain of our manufacturer suppliers that have not been previously sold into these markets. Utilizing our relationships with manufacturers, and our knowledge of this untapped market, we believe we can add revenues as well as gross profit from this market. This market represents approximately 20% of the total United States cellular subscribers, according to U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray in its 2003 Global Wireless Projections report dated May 2003, and shares the same characteristics of our existing markets. We believe it will be complementary to our existing customer base and allow us to leverage our existing distribution infrastructure.

        Expand Manufacturer Relationships.    We put great emphasis on developing new, and improving our existing, wireless equipment manufacturer relationships and thereby broadening our product portfolio. We accomplish this by expanding product lines, brands and technologies within the markets we serve, thereby extending our reach. In particular, we are currently focusing on expanding our product portfolio to include the newest products, which provide data, entertainment, and imaging functionality to wireless handset users. We currently have relationships with five of the top manufacturers and are working to develop distribution relationships with others as well as with new, innovative manufacturers. We believe that by expanding our manufacturing relationships, we can offer the most innovative product lines, brands and technologies within the markets we serve.

        Improve Operating Efficiencies.    We constantly monitor our operations to improve our cost structure in order to maintain and increase both profitability and productivity. We continuously evaluate opportunities to operate more efficiently by monitoring returns on invested capital, working to obtain better purchase terms, more effectively utilize our limited capital resources, implement workforce management programs, and centralize back-office operations.

20


        Geographic Expansion.    We plan to expand our operations through enhanced warehouse and operational facilities in both California and Florida as well as other potential locations. These activities are intended to expand our geographic presence, increase our customer base, improve our product portfolio, and add new capabilities and service offerings. Potential expansion areas include, but are not limited to, local warehouse and operational facilities in the mid-western United States and Latin America.

        Expand Retail Operations.    We operate nine retail kiosks in shopping malls in the San Diego area. We currently sell handsets from various manufacturers including Audiovox, Kyocera, LG, Motorola, Nokia, Panasonic, Samsung and Sony-Ericsson and resell AT&T Wireless phone service. By agreeing to resell only AT&T Wireless Service in the San Diego area, we receive higher commissions from AT&T than if we were to resell services for multiple carriers. Because this business unit has significantly higher gross margins, we intend to pursue the possibility of opening and operating additional retail locations in other large metropolitan markets.

Products and Services

        Sources of Revenues.    We generate revenues by distributing and selling wireless handsets and accessories in the United States and Latin America. Our distribution activities in Mexico are conducted through our subsidiary, InfoSonics de Mexico, S.A. As a part of our distribution activities, we perform value added services when requested by the customer. These services include but are not limited to programming, locking, software loading, packaging, and quality assurance testing. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and the year ended December 31, 2002, approximately 93% and 92%, respectively, of our revenues were from distribution.

        Customers.    Our United States customers include agents, resellers, distributors, independent dealers and retailers. Our Latin American customers include wireless network operators and resellers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, we provided products and services to approximately 600 customers. Our two largest customers accounted for approximately 24% and 22%, respectively, of our total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and the year ended December 31, 2002. We generally sell our products pursuant to customer purchase orders and ship products by common carrier on the same day orders are received from the customer.

        Sources of Revenues.    We generate revenues at our retail kiosk locations by selling wireless handsets and accessories, for which we are paid by the customers, and by reselling wireless services for AT&T Wireless, which consist primarily of activation as well as upgrades, for which we are paid commissions by the carrier. These commissions are increased with each additional feature a customer adds to the customer's basic wireless service, such as text messaging and internet access. We receive additional monthly payments, or residuals, to the extent customers continue their accounts. Most of our retail revenues are derived from commissions received from sales of wireless services. Currently, we operate in one large metropolitan market, the San Diego area; however, we may target other large metropolitan markets for expansion.

        Customers.    Our retail wireless services are typically provided to individuals, who maintain agreements directly with the carrier. These individuals also are the customers for handset and accessory sales at our retail locations.

21



Information Systems

        Our information system, which is based upon licensed software, has been, and continues to be, customized specifically by our management to meet the specific needs of our business. The system allows management to access and have total control over information related to all aspects of the business, including customer relationship management, intelligent purchasing, inventory control, inventory flow, back orders, line item margin control for every order, and weighted average cost and statistical data for every product, customer and supplier. Management believes that our information systems have allowed us to provide better service to customers, which we believe leads to increased customer satisfaction and resulting customer retention and future sales.

Vendors

        We have established key relationships with many of the leading manufacturers of wireless telecommunications equipment. In 2002, we purchased inventory from more than 65 wireless mobile device and accessory manufacturers and other suppliers. Certain of our suppliers may provide favorable purchasing terms to us, including price protection, cooperative advertising, volume incentive rebates, stock balancing and marketing allowances. Product manufacturers typically provide limited warranties directly to the end user.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, three vendors accounted for approximately 21%, 17% and 12%, respectively, of our total cost of sales. During the year ended December 31, 2002, three vendors accounted for approximately 28%, 14% and 12%, respectively, of our total cost of sales.

        We have entered into written agreements with two of our supplier-manufacturers for distribution in the United States. These agreements are subject to certain conditions and exceptions including the retention by these suppliers of certain direct accounts and restrictions regarding our resale of products. These agreements require us to satisfy purchase requirements based upon forecasts provided by us, a portion of which forecasts are binding, and generally can be terminated on short notice by either party. In addition, we purchase products from other manufacturers and suppliers pursuant to purchase orders placed from time to time in the ordinary course of business for products to be sold in the United States and specific countries or geographic areas outside the United States. All our agreements with suppliers are non-exclusive. Although we do not have written agreements with the majority of our manufacturers and suppliers, we believe we will have adequate product flows in the future to fulfill our reasonably foreseeable product requirements.

Sales and Marketing

        We believe that direct selling and one-on-one relationships, as well as in-depth product and competitive landscape knowledge, are important factors in the marketing of the products that we sell. Accordingly, we promote relationship building and maintenance through personal contact and advertising in industry publications, both print and on-line, and attending the major national and regional carrier shows. Our suppliers and customers use a variety of methods to promote their products and services directly to consumers, including print and media advertising.

        We currently employ 15 experienced sales professionals who are involved in distribution and who market to existing and potential customers in their respective assigned territories through both telephone and e-mail interaction and notification of special promotions. Potential new customers are located primarily through our database, as well as industry publications and journals. Each sales person is compensated based on generation of new customers as well as maintaining existing customers. We believe this approach motivates the sales professionals to achieve higher gross margin as well as greater sales numbers.

22



Competition

        We compete for sales of wireless telecommunications equipment and accessories, and expect that we will continue to compete, with numerous well-established wireless network operators, distributors and manufacturers, including our own suppliers. Competitors in the United States and Latin America include wireless equipment manufacturers, network operators and other dedicated wireless distributors such as CellStar Corporation and BrightPoint, Inc. Our planned logistics services business will compete with logistics services providers and electronics manufacturing service providers in the United States and Latin America, such as Communications Test Design, Inc., UPS Logistics, Aftermarket Technologies Inc., CAT Logistics, CellStar and BrightPoint.

        The markets for wireless handsets and accessories are characterized by intense price competition and significant price erosion over the life of a product. Many of our competitors have the financial resources to withstand substantial price competition and to implement extensive advertising and promotional programs, both generally and in response to efforts by additional competitors to enter into new markets or introduce new products. For additional information concerning competition and possible affects of competition on our business, see "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to our Business—The wireless telecommunications industry is intensely competitive and we may not be able to continue to compete successfully in this industry".

Employees

        As of September 30, 2003, we had 101 employees. Of these employees, five were in executive positions, 80 were engaged in sales and marketing (65 in our retail locations and 15 in our distribution business), seven were in service operations, and nine were in finance and administration (including information technology employees). From time to time, we utilize temporary employees to perform warehouse and retail functions. None of our employees is covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that our relations with our employees are good.

Properties

        We provide our distribution services from our sales and operations centers located in San Diego, California and Miami, Florida. These facilities are occupied pursuant to operating leases. Our retail wireless locations consist of leased kiosks in nine San Diego metropolitan shopping centers. The table below summarizes information about our sales and operations centers:

        The sublease for our San Diego executive offices and warehouse space expires in June 2004, although it may be terminated earlier if the master lease is terminated earlier. We believe that our existing facilities are adequate for our current requirements and that suitable alternative or additional space will be available as needed for alternative space or to accommodate future expansion of our operations.

23


Credit Facility

        We have a line of credit with Comerica Bank that allows us to borrow up to a maximum of $6,500,000 with a maturity date of March 7, 2004. Management believes that the credit line will be renewed or replaced in an equal or greater amount. The current line of credit provides for advances not to exceed 80% of eligible accounts receivable and 85% of foreign and domestic insured accounts receivable. Advances pursuant to the line of credit are collateralized by substantially all our assets and are personally guaranteed by Joseph Ram, our Chief Executive Officer, a director, and the principal stockholder. Interest on outstanding advances is payable monthly and is computed using the Bank's prime rate or, at our option, the one-, two-, or three-month LIBOR rate plus 2.25% for the first $500,000 and 2.5% for amounts over $500,000. On September 30, 2003, our interest rate on $3,500,000 of the outstanding principal balance was 4.0%, our interest rate on $1,500,000 of outstanding principal was 3.67% and our interest rate on the remaining $500,000 of outstanding principal balance was 3.39%. On September 30, 2003, the outstanding principal balance on the line of credit was approximately $5.5 million; and on December 31, 2003 it was approximately $5.2 million.

Insurance

        We have a commercial liability policy, an umbrella policy, workmen's compensation insurance, and accounts receivable credit insurance as well as other policies covering damage to our properties and inventories. These policies cover our facilities, employees, equipment, inventories and vehicles in all states of operation. We believe our insurance coverage is adequate for most foreseeable problems and is comparable with the coverage of other companies in the same business and of similar size. We also have applied for directors and officers liability insurance.

Legal Proceedings

        In the normal course of our business, we may be a party to legal proceedings. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

        This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the "Selected Financial Data" and our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes contained in this prospectus. Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis we review our estimates and assumptions. Our estimates were based on our historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but we do not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations. Our critical accounting policies, the policies we believe are most important to the presentation of our financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, are outlined below in "—Critical Accounting Policies," and have not changed significantly. All references to financial data or results as of or for the period ending September 30, 2003 or September 30, 2002 are unaudited. Certain statements made in this report may contain forward-looking statements. For a description of risks and uncertainties relating to such forward-looking statements, see the cautionary statements.

        Our business has historically experienced increased volumes of sales at the end of the calendar year. This and other seasonal factors contribute to the usual increase in our sales during the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year.

        Effective September 11, 2003, InfoSonics reincorporated in Maryland and effected a two-for-one forward stock split. Per share amounts for all periods presented in this report have been adjusted to reflect this change.

Results of Operations:

        For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, we had net income of $561,000, or $.18 per share, on revenues of $44.5 million. This compares with net income of $525,000, or $.16 per share, on revenues of $34.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to the strengthening of our sales and marketing efforts in both the United States and Latin America, as well as an increase in the number of units and average selling price of handsets sold. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the number of handsets sold increased 17.2%, and the average selling price increased 12.8% as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2002. In addition, the revenues from our retail operations increased 9% for the same period.

        For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, gross profit increased by $684,000, an increase of 16.2% as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 11.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared with 12.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in gross profit dollars was primarily the result of increased sales volume, whereas the decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues was due to the higher average purchase price, together with lower margins, in the nine months ended September 30, 2003, as well as the lack of inventory availability of higher margin products in the nine months ended September 30, 2003.

25



        For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, our income from operations was $1,030,000, an increase of 18.6% as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase in revenues and gross profit dollars discussed above.

        For the year ended December 31, 2002, we had net income of $427,000, or $.13 per share, on revenues of $46.6 million. This compared with a net loss of $73,000, or $.02 per share, on revenues of $34.2 million for the year ended December 21, 2001. The increase in revenues was partially attributable to the strengthening of our sales force in the United States, as well as an increase in the number of units and average selling price of handsets sold. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the number of handsets sold increased 36.9%, and the average selling price per unit increased 2.2% as compared with the year ended December 31, 2001. The last several months of 2001 also were impacted by the economic slowdown during that time (including the events of September 11, 2001). In addition, the revenues from our retail operations increased by 19.4% from the previous year.

        For the year ended December 31, 2002, our gross profit increased by $1.1 million, an increase of 26.1% as compared with the year ended December 31, 2001. Gross profit was 11.4% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared with 12.3% for the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase in gross profit dollars was primarily the result of increased sales volume, and the decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues was due primarily to a change in product mix, characterized by selling a larger percentage of lower gross profit handsets in the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared with year ended December 31, 2001.

        For the year ended December 31, 2002, our income from operations was $743,000, as compared with $172,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase in income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 was a result of the factors discussed above, as well as the overall economic slowdown in the last four months of 2001.

        For the year ended December 31, 2001, we experienced a net loss of $73,000, or $.02 per share, on revenues of $34.2 million, compared with net income of $253,000, or $0.08 per share, on revenues of $38.3 million for the year ended December 21, 2000. The decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to the economic slowdown during the last several months of 2001 (including the events of September 11, 2001). For the year ended December 31, 2001, average selling price decreased 9.6% as compared with the year ended December 31, 2000. The decrease in average handset selling price was directly attributable to the product mix available for sale during the year ended December 31, 2001.

        For the year ended December 31, 2001, gross profit increased by $1.7 million, an increase of 68.4% as compared with the year ended December 31, 2000. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 12.3% for the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared with 6.5% for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in both gross profit dollars and gross profit as a percentage of sales was primarily the result of the consolidated reporting of our retail subsidiary Axcess Mobile LLC, with its higher margins, which was acquired as of December 31, 2000, and became consolidated in our financial statements beginning on January 1, 2001.

        For the year ended December 31, 2001, our income from operations was $172,000, as compared with $733,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. The decrease in income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2001 was a product of the factors discussed above, as well as the consolidation of our wholly owned subsidiary Axcess Mobile, LLC, beginning on January 1, 2001.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

        At September 30, 2003, we had $33,459 in cash, at December 31, 2002, we had $1,268,611 in cash, and, at September 30, 2002, we had $27,183 in cash.

        Cash generated from operations also has been a major contributing factor to our growth. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, cash used in operating activities was $3,952,000 and $786,622, respectively. The increase in the use of cash in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 is primarily due to increases in accounts receivable and inventory, both of which resulted from increased sales levels. As we continue to grow, cash provided by operating activates can fluctuate based upon market conditions, and cash used in investing activities will be increased from time to time as needed to support the increased levels of business.

        Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $24,688, and net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $35,969.

        We expect that our capital expenditure requirements for fiscal 2004 will be approximately $100,000. We expect to use these funds primarily for the purchase of computer and office equipment as well as leasehold improvements to our corporate headquarters. We currently have no capital expenditure commitments over the next 12 months.

        We utilize a bank line of credit which is based upon eligible accounts receivable. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, amounts advanced against that line were approximately $2.3, $1.5, $2.8 million, respectively. This credit line has been an important part of growing the business, and market changes affecting accounts receivable could diminish the borrowing base of available funds. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, advances were 52%, 73% and 92% of the available borrowing base. This current facility expires March 7, 2004, and management believes it will be able to renew or replace this facility in an equal or greater amount upon its expiration.

        We believe that our existing cash resources, together with our projected cash flow from operations and the net proceeds from this offering, will be sufficient to allow us to implement our strategy and growth plan described in this prospectus.

Contractual Obligations

        We lease corporate and administrative office facilities, automobiles, and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. Certain of these leases contain renewal options. Rent expense under these leases was approximately $900,000 and $692,000 for 2002 and 2001, respectively.

        The following is a schedule of future minimum rental payments required by the above leases.

Critical Accounting Policies

        We believe the following critical accounting policies are important to the presentation of our financial condition and results, and require management's judgments often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

        Revenues are recognized upon (1) shipment of the products to customers, (2) when collection of the outstanding receivables are probable, and (3) the final price of the product is determined. Commission revenue on phone activations is recorded at the time of the activation and may be charged back to the Company in future periods. The carrier has six months from date of activation to charge back amounts previously credited to the Company if the customer terminates its service. We provide an allowance for estimated returns based on our experience, which estimate is recorded as a contra asset against accounts receivable. A provision for returns is provided in the same period in which the related commission revenue is recorded. Customer credit-worthiness and economic conditions may change and increase the risk of collectibility and contract terminations and may require additional provisions, which would negatively impact our operating results.

        Credit evaluations are undertaken for all major sale transactions before shipment is authorized. Normal payment terms require payment on a net sixty day basis. On an on-going basis, we analyze the payment history of customer accounts, including recent customer purchases. We evaluate aged items in the accounts receivable aging and provide reserves for doubtful accounts and estimated sales returns. Customer credit-worthiness and economic conditions may change and increase the risk of collectibility and sales returns and may require additional provisions, which would negatively impact our operating results. As of December 31, 2002, December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2003, respectively, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $34,011, $133,798, and $117,524.

        We regularly monitor inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventories based primarily on historical usage rates and our estimated forecast of product demand for a period of time, generally six months. Because of obsolescence, we will generally provide a full reserve for the costs of our inventories in excess of our relevant forecast for the applicable period.

        We attempt to control our inventory levels so that we do not hold inventories in excess of demand for the succeeding six months. However, because we need to place non-cancelable orders with significant lead time and because it is difficult to estimate product demand, it is possible that we will build inventories in excess if demand for the future periods. If we have inventories in excess of estimated product demand, we will provide a reserve, which could have a material adverse effect on our reported results of operations and financial position.

Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        We are subject to market risks with respect to interest rates because our line of credit has a floating interest rate. We can choose among the bank's prime rate, which was 4% at September 30, 2003, and the one-, two-, and three-month LIBOR rates plus (with respect to the LIBOR rate) 2.25% for the first $500,000 of borrowings and 2.5% for borrowings above $500,000. As of September 30, 2003, our LIBOR borrowings were $2,000,000 and were based on the three-month rate, which was 1.14% at that time. If the full $6,500,000 available under our credit facility were outstanding for a full year, each increase of 1% in the applicable interest rate would result in an additional $65,000 in interest expense for that year.

        Our business outside the United States is conducted in United States Dollars. Although we purchase and sell products and services in United States Dollars and do not engage in exchange swaps, futures or options contracts or other hedging techniques, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could reduce demand for products sold in United States dollars. We cannot predict the effect that future exchange rate fluctuations will have on our operating results. We may in the future engage in currency hedging transactions, which could result in our incurring significant additional losses.

Employment, Severance and Separation Agreements with Named Executive Officers

        InfoSonics has entered into employment agreements dated as of January 1, 2004 with each of its executive officers. The employment agreements for each of Joseph Ram, Jeffrey Klausner and Abraham Rosler are substantially similar except with respect to the annual salary. Mr. Ram is to receive an annual salary of $275,000, Mr. Klausner is to receive an annual salary of $150,000, and Mr. Rosler is to receive a salary of $120,000. In addition, the employees will be eligible for bonuses as determined by the Compensation Committee. The employment agreements with these executive officers have a term of four years.

32



        The employment agreement for Mr. Murgo provides for an annual base salary of $100,000 plus a bonus of up to 200% of salary, depending on total sales levels and gross profits from sales generated by Mr. Murgo and the sales people that he supervises. The percentages used to calculate the bonus may be revised by the Compensation Committee as other personnel are hired for certain sales activities. In addition, the Compensation Committee has the right to review Mr. Murgo's employment agreement every six months and to change terms as the Committee deems appropriate. If Mr. Murgo does not agree to the changes, we have the right upon ten days' notice to Mr. Murgo to amend the compensation payable under the agreement to a salary amount equal to 110% of the average monthly salary paid to Mr. Murgo for the previous 12 months.

        All the agreements with the executive officers provide for the payment of severance under certain conditions. If the Company terminates the employment agreements other than for cause or as a result of a breach of a fiduciary or other obligation of the employee to InfoSonics, or if the employee terminates for "good reason" (as defined in the employment agreements), the employee is entitled to a severance payment equal to the greater of 50% of the salary payable over the remaining term of the employment agreement or 18 months of salary. If the employee voluntarily terminates his employment other than for "good reason" as defined in the employment agreements, the employee is not entitled to receive a severance payment. The definition of "good reason" includes a change in control of the Company.

Stock Option Plans

        In May 1998, our Board of Directors and shareholders approved a Stock Option Plan (the "1998 Plan") that allowed us to issue options to purchase up to 50,000 shares of common stock to key executives. The 1998 Plan was amended effective December 31, 2001 to extend the term of the 1998 Plan until May 31, 2008 and to increase the number of shares underlying options granted under the 1998 Plan to 858,700. Options granted under the 1998 Plan are not incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code. The 1998 Plan is administered by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors. Members of the committee are not eligible to receive options under the 1998 Plan. The committee has complete discretion, subject to the terms of the 1998 Plan, to determine the individuals to whom options will be granted, the number of shares subject to each option, and the vesting and other provisions of the options. Under the 1998 Plan, options may be granted to officers and department heads of the Corporation. Options granted under the 1998 Plan expire ten years after the date of grant. Shares issued upon the exercise of options granted under the 1998 Plan are subject to repurchase upon the termination of the eligible employee's employment. The purchase price for the shares repurchased is the value of the shares as determined by an independent appraisal commission by the Corporation's Board of Directors. At December 31, 2003, options to purchase 858,700 shares of common stock were outstanding under the 1998 Plan and no additional options could be granted under the 1998 Plan.

        Pursuant to our 2003 Stock Option Plan, we may grant options to purchase an aggregate of 775,000 shares of common stock to key employees, non-employee directors and key individuals selected by the option committee. The options granted pursuant to the 2003 Plan may be incentive options qualifying for beneficial tax treatment for the recipient, non-qualified options, or non-qualified, non-discretionary options. Only our employees or employees of subsidiaries are eligible for incentive options, and employees and other persons who have contributed or are contributing to our success are eligible for non-qualified options. Non-qualified, non-discretionary options may be granted only to outside directors. With respect to options granted to persons other than outside directors, the 2003 Plan is administered by an option committee that determines the terms of the options subject to the

33


requirements of the 2003 Plan. Under the terms of the 2003 Plan, our Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is permitted to serve, and has served, as the option committee. The portion of the 2003 Plan concerning non-qualified, non-discretionary options provides that outside directors automatically receive options to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the 2003 Plan at the time of their initial election as an outside director. The Chair of the Audit Committee will automatically receive additional options to purchase 5,000 shares at the time of election as Chair of that Committee. The options held by outside directors are not exercisable at the time of grant, but options to purchase one-third of the shares become exercisable for each outside director on December 31 of each of the first three years immediately following the date of grant of these options to the outside director. The exercise price for the non-qualified, non-discretionary options is the fair market value of the common stock on the date these options are granted. Shares acquired upon exercise of these options cannot be sold for six months following the date of grant. If not previously exercised, non-qualified, non-discretionary options that have been granted expire five years after the date of grant. The non-qualified, non-discretionary options also expire 90 days after the optionholder ceases to be a member of our Board of Directors. At any time that all of an outside director's options or options granted to the Chair of the Audit Committee have become exercisable, non-qualified, non-discretionary options to purchase an additional 15,000 shares, or 5,000 shares for the Chair of the Audit Committee, which are not exercisable at the time of grant, shall be granted automatically to that outside director.

        All options granted under the 2003 Plan will become fully exercisable upon the occurrence of a change in control of InfoSonics or certain mergers or other reorganizations or asset sales described in the 2003 Plan. Options granted pursuant to the 2003 Plan generally are not transferable during the optionee's lifetime. Subject to the other terms of the 2003 Plan, the option committee has discretion to provide vesting requirements and specific expiration provisions with respect to the incentive options and non-qualified options granted. At December 31, 2003, options to purchase 353,000 shares of common stock were outstanding under the 2003 Plan and options to purchase 422,000 shares were available to be granted pursuant to the 2003 Plan.

Compensation of Outside Directors

        In 2002, we had no outside directors. In December 2003, we elected three outside directors. In addition to grants of options described above in "Stock Option Plans—2003 Stock Option Plan," outside directors will receive $13,500 per year, payable quarterly, for serving as directors. The Chair of the Audit Committee will receive an additional $2,000 per year, payable quarterly. Outside directors also will be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in fulfilling their duties as directors.

TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN INFOSONICS AND RELATED PARTIES

        This section describes the transactions we have engaged in with persons who were directors or officers of InfoSonics at the time of the transaction, and persons known by us to be the beneficial owners of 5% or more of our common stock since January 1, 2002.

Stockholder Indebtedness

        As of December 31, 2002, we owed approximately $153,000 of accrued interest to JRC, Inc., or JRC, a United Kingdom corporation that beneficially owns 25% of our common stock. The accrued interest relates to indebtedness that previously was converted into the 800,000 shares of common stock owned by JRC. The repayment of the accrued interest is scheduled to occur over a 12-month period. As of September 30, 2003, approximately $50,000 of the accrued interest due to this stockholder remained unpaid. Repayment of the accrued interest is subordinated to our line of credit (see Note 3 to the Financial Statements included in this prospectus).

Sales

        We sell products to a distributor in Mexico, which until January 2004 was owned by Joseph Ram, our Chief Executive Officer, a director and principal stockholder, and Abraham Rosler, Executive Vice President and Director. Effective January 26, 2004, all of their interest in this Mexican corporation was transferred to InfoSonics for $3,600, and it is now held as a wholly-owned subsidiary of InfoSonics. Sales to this entity totaled approximately $140,800 in 2002, $0 in 2001 and $0 in 2000. At December 31, 2002, there were no open accounts between this entity and InfoSonics.

Management Agreement

        InfoSonics and JRC entered into a Management Agreement effective January 1, 2000. Pursuant to this Agreement, JRC provides management services to InfoSonics, including introducing InfoSonics to potential customers and vendors; assisting InfoSonics in the establishment of the warehouse facilities in Miami, Florida and the pursuit of business in Latin America; consulting services with respect to investment banking; assisting in identifying potential business opportunities and strategies for European, Middle East, and Far East markets; and consulting with respect to the establishment of foreign subsidiaries and analyzing the specific risks associated with foreign operations. Pursuant to the Agreement, InfoSonics paid JRC a management fee of $10,000 per month, including $120,000 during the year ended December 31, 2002, $100,000 during the year ended December 31, 2001, and $120,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. JRC agreed to waive receipt of management fees for the months of November and December 2001. Although the Management Agreement by its terms expired on December 31, 2003, the parties had a mutual oral understanding that the Agreement would be renewed for the foreseeable future. We subsequently determined not to renew the Agreement beyond December 31, 2003 and that JRC should receive options to purchase 120,000 shares of common stock until December 31, 2008 at a price equal to 120% of the public offering price.

Conflicts of Interest Policies

        Our Board of Directors and our officers are subject to certain provisions of Maryland law which are designed to eliminate or minimize the effects of certain potential conflicts of interest. In addition, our bylaws provide that any transaction between us and an interested party must be fully disclosed to our Board, and that a majority of the directors not otherwise interested in the transaction (including a majority of independent directors) must make a determination that the transaction is fair, competitive and commercially reasonable and on terms and conditions not less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties.

36



        All future transactions between us and any of our officers, directors, or 5% stockholders will be on terms no less favorable than could be obtained from independent third parties and will be approved by a majority of independent, disinterested directors of InfoSonics. We believe that by following these procedures, InfoSonics will be able to mitigate the possible effects of these conflicts of interest.

        Other than as described in this section, there are no material relationships between us and any of our directors, executive officers or known holders of more than 5% of our common stock.

Employee Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics and Reporting of Accounting Concerns

        We have established an Employee Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "Code of Conduct") that we require all employees to adhere to in addressing legal and ethical issues encountered in conducting their work. The Code of Conduct requires that our employees avoid conflicts of interest, comply with all laws and other legal requirements, conduct business in an honest and ethical manner and otherwise act with integrity and in the Company's best interests.

        We also have established a Code of Ethics for our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer, our Controller and all other financial officers and executives. This Code of Ethics supplements our Code of Conduct and is intended to promote honest and ethical conduct, full and accurate reporting, and compliance with laws as well as other matters. The Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics are filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

        Further, the Company has established "whistle-blower procedures" that provide a process for the confidential and anonymous submission, receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters. These procedures provide substantial protections to employees who report company misconduct.


DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

        Our authorized capital consists of 40,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock and 10,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock. There were 3,212,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of January 26, 2004. There were no shares of preferred stock outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. The following is a description of our securities.

Common Stock

        Each share of our outstanding common stock is entitled to share equally with each other share of common stock in dividends from legally available sources, when, as, and if declared by our Board and, upon liquidation or dissolution, whether voluntary or involuntary, to share equally in our assets that are available for distribution to the holders of the common stock. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote per share for all purposes, except that in the election of directors, each holder shall have the right to vote such number of shares for as many persons as there are directors to be elected. Cumulative voting is not allowed in the election of directors or for any other purpose, and the holders of common stock have no preemptive rights, redemption rights or rights of conversion with respect to the common stock. All outstanding shares of common stock and all shares underlying the warrants when issued will be fully paid and nonassessable by us. Our Board is authorized to issue additional shares of common stock within the limits authorized by our articles of incorporation and without stockholder action.

        Because all shares of our common stock have equal voting rights and voting rights are not cumulative, the holders of more than 50% of the shares of common stock could, therefore, if they chose to do so and unless subject to a voting agreement to the contrary, elect the entire Board.

37



        We have reserved 775,000 shares of common stock for issuance upon the exercise of options under our 2003 Stock Option Plan, an additional 858,700 shares of common stock for issuance upon the exercise of options granted under the 1998 Plan, and an additional 245,000 shares of common stock for other outstanding options.

Preferred Stock

        We have available 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock for potential future issuance. No shares of preferred stock were outstanding as of the date of this prospectus.

        The preferred stock carries such relative rights, preferences and designations as may be determined by our Board in its sole discretion upon the issuance of any shares of preferred stock. The shares of preferred stock could be issued from time to time by our Board in its sole discretion without further approval or authorization by our stockholders, in one or more series, each of which could have any particular distinctive designations, relative rights and preferences as determined by our Board. The relative rights and preferences that may be determined by our Board in its discretion from time to time, include but are not limited to the following:


        The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock could have anti-takeover effects because we could issue preferred stock with special dividend or voting rights that could discourage potential bidders. We may issue shares of preferred stock that have dividend, voting and other rights superior to those of our common stock, or that convert into shares of common stock, without the approval of the holders of common stock. This could result in the dilution of the voting rights, ownership and liquidation value of current stockholders.

Antitakeover Provisions

        Charter and Bylaws Provisions.    Some provisions of our charter and bylaws may delay or prevent a change in control of our company or other transactions that could provide our common stockholders with a premium over the then-prevailing market price of their common stock or that might otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders. These include the ability of our Board of Directors to authorize the issuance of preferred stock without stockholder approval. Also, any future series of preferred stock may have voting provisions that could delay or prevent a change in control or other transaction that might involve a premium price or otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders.

        Maryland Business Statutes.    As a Maryland corporation, we are subject to the provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law. Maryland law imposes restrictions on some business combinations and requires compliance with statutory procedures before some mergers and acquisitions can occur.

38



These provisions of Maryland law may have the effect of discouraging offers to acquire us even if the acquisition would be advantageous to our stockholders. These provisions include:

        Other constituencies.    Maryland law expressly authorizes a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision that allows the Board of Directors to consider the effect of a potential acquisition of control on stockholders, employees, suppliers, customers, creditors and communities in which offices or other establishments of the corporation are located. Our current charter does not include a provision of this type. Maryland law also provides, however, that the inclusion or omission of this type of provision in the charter of a Maryland corporation does not create an inference concerning factors that may be considered by the Board of Directors regarding a potential acquisition of control. This law may allow our Board of Directors to reject an acquisition proposal even though the proposal is in the best interests of our stockholders.

Underwriters Warrants

        In connection with the Underwriting Agreement we entered into with our underwriters, we agreed to sell warrants for 10% of the shares sold in the offering to the underwriters for a total of $100 upon the completion of the offering. Each warrant allows the underwriters to purchase one share of common stock for $            , or 110% of the offering price in this offering, per share during the five-year period beginning six months after the date of this prospectus. The underwriter's warrants contain cashless exercise and antidilution provisions. We granted registration rights to the underwriters that are exercisable during the period the warrants may be exercised.

        The underwriters' warrants are not transferable for a period of one year after the date of this prospectus, except to the underwriters' officers and stockholders and to members of the selling group of additional underwriters, if any, and their officers, partners and/or stockholders, as applicable. For additional information, please refer to "Underwriting" below.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

        Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

        Upon the completion of this offering, and assuming the underwriters' over-allotment option is not exercised, we will have 5,212,000 shares of common stock outstanding.

        Of the outstanding number of shares after this offering, shares of our common stock to be sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except for any such shares which may be held or acquired by our "affiliates," as that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Shares acquired by our affiliates in this offering will be subject to the volume limitations, but not the holding period, and certain other restrictions of Rule 144 described below. See "Rule 144" below.

Sales of Restricted Shares

        An aggregate of 3,200,000 shares of our common stock held by our existing stockholders upon completion of this offering will be "restricted securities," as that phrase is defined in Rule 144, and may not be resold in the absence of registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from such registration, including among others, the exemptions provided by Rules 144 or 144(k) under the Securities Act, which rules are summarized below. Taking into account the lock-up agreements described below and the provisions of Rules 144, 144(k) and 701, additional shares will be available for sale in the public market as follows:

Rule 144

        In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, a person or persons whose shares are aggregated, who has beneficially owned restricted shares for at least one year, including persons who may be deemed to be our "affiliates," would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

        Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of certain public information about us.

Rule 144(k)

        Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not deemed to have been one of our "affiliates" at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years, including the holding period of any prior owner other than an "affiliate," is entitled to sell these shares without complying with the manner of sale, public information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.

Options

        We intend to file registration statements on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register shares of common stock issuable under our stock plans. These registration statements are expected to be filed not sooner than six months following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and will be effective upon filing. Shares issued upon the exercise of stock options after the effective date of the Form S-8 registration statements will be eligible for resale in the public market without restriction, subject to Rule 144 limitations applicable to affiliates and the lock-up agreements described below.

Lock-up Agreements

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, InfoSonics Corporation, our directors, officers and all our current stockholders and option holders have agreed with the underwriters, subject to limited exceptions, not to dispose of or hedge any of their common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock during the period from the date of this prospectus continuing through the date 180 days after the date of this prospectus without the prior written consent of Gilford Securities.


UNDERWRITING

        We entered into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters named below with respect to the shares being offered. Gilford Securities Incorporated is acting as representative of the underwriters. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, the underwriters are obligated to purchase all of the shares if any of the shares are purchased. Each underwriter has severally agreed to purchase from us the number of shares of common stock listed opposite their names below.

Underwriter

  Number of Shares
Gilford Securities Incorporated    
   
Source Capital Group, Inc.    
   
Total   2,000,000
   

        We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters and their controlling persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

        The underwriters are offering the shares, subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, subject to approval of legal matters by their counsel, including the validity of the shares, and other conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, such as the receipt by the underwriters of officers' certificates and legal opinions. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.

Commissions and Discounts

        The representative has advised us that the underwriters propose initially to offer the shares to the public at the public offering price on the cover page of this prospectus and to dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of $            per share. The underwriters may allow, and the dealers may reallow, a discount not in excess of $            per share to other dealers. After the offering, the offering price, concession, discount and other selling terms may be changed.

        The following table shows the public offering price, underwriting discount and proceeds before our expenses. The information assumes either no exercise or full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option to purchase additional shares.

 
  Per Share
  No Exercise
  Full Exercise
Public Offering Price   $     $     $  
Underwriting discount   $     $     $  
Proceeds, before expenses, to us   $     $     $  

        The expenses of the offering, not including the underwriting discount, are estimated at $            and are payable by us.

        Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, we have agreed to sell 200,000 warrants to the underwriters at the nominal cost of $100. Each warrant allows the holder to purchase one share of common stock for $            , or 110% of the offering price per share in this offering, during the five-year period beginning six months after the date of this prospectus.

        The underwriters' warrants are not transferable for a period of one year after the date of this prospectus, except to the underwriters' officers and stockholders and to members of the selling group of additional underwriters, if any, and their officers, partners and/or stockholders, as applicable. We have agreed to register the public resale of any shares obtained upon the exercise of the underwriter's warrants, and such resales may be made pursuant to this prospectus. We also have granted one demand and certain "piggyback" registration rights to holders of the underwriter's warrants.

        We also agreed to pay the underwriters a non-accountable expense allowance equal to three percent of the gross proceeds of the offering, including proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment option.

Over-allotment Option

        We have granted an option to the underwriters to purchase up to 300,000 additional shares at the public offering price less the underwriting discount. The underwriters may exercise this option solely to cover any over-allotments by providing us with notice within 45 days of the date of this prospectus. If the underwriters exercise this option, each will be obligated, subject to conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, to purchase a number of additional shares proportionate to that underwriter's initial amount reflected in the above table.

American Stock Exchange Listing

        We have applied to have our common stock listed on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol "            ."

Price Stabilization and Short Positions

        Until the distribution of the shares is completed, Securities and Exchange Commission rules may limit underwriters and selling group members from bidding for and purchasing our shares of common stock. However, the representative may engage in transactions that stabilize the price of our shares of common stock, such as bids or purchases to maintain that price.

        If the underwriters create a short position in our shares of common stock in connection with the offering, i.e., if they sell more shares than are listed on the cover of this prospectus, the representative may reduce that short position by purchasing shares in the open market. The representative may also elect to reduce any short position by exercising all or part of the over-allotment option described above. Purchases of our shares of common stock to stabilize its price or to reduce a short position may

42



cause the price of our shares of common stock to be higher than it might be in the absence of such purchases.

        Neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our shares of common stock. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters makes any representation that the representative will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

Other Relationships

        The underwriters may provide from time to time investment banking and other financial services to us. In the ordinary course of business, the underwriters may actively trade our securities for their own accounts or for accounts of customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold long or short positions in those securities.


SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION POSITION
ON CERTAIN INDEMNIFICATION

        The General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland allows corporations to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, partner, trustee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or employee benefit plan, unless it is established that:

        Under Maryland law, indemnification may be provided against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding. The indemnification may be provided, however, only if authorized for a specific proceeding after a determination has been made that indemnification is permissible under the circumstances because the person met the applicable standard of conduct. This determination is required to be made:

        If the proceeding is one by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification may not be provided as to any proceeding in which the person is found liable to the corporation.

        A Maryland corporation may pay, before final disposition, the expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by a director, officer, employee or agent in defending a proceeding. Under Maryland law, expenses may be advanced to a director or officer when the director or officer gives a written

43



affirmation of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification and a written undertaking to the corporation to repay the amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification. Maryland law does not require that the undertaking be secured, and the undertaking may be accepted without reference to the financial ability of the director or officer to repay the advance. A Maryland corporation is required to indemnify any director who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of a proceeding for reasonable expenses. The determination as to reasonableness of expenses is required to be made in the same manner as required for indemnification.

        Under Maryland law, the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by statute are not exclusive of any other rights to which a person who is not a director seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any charter, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders, vote of directors or otherwise.

        Our Articles of Incorporation provide that we shall indemnify each director or officer:

        Additionally, our Articles of Incorporation provide that we may indemnify any of our employees or agents to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland, or any similar provision or provisions of applicable law at the time in effect, in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was at any time our employee or agent, or is or was at any time serving at our request as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or employee benefit plan.

        Reasonable expenses incurred in defending any action, suit or proceeding described above shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director, officer or employee to repay such amount to the corporation if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by us.

        In addition to the general indemnification described above, Maryland law permits corporations to include any provision expanding or limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation or its stockholders for money damages, but may not include any provision that restricts or limits the liability of its directors or officers to the corporation or its stockholders:

44


        We have adopted, in our charter, a provision that eliminates and limits the personal liability of each of our directors and officers to the full extent permitted by the laws of the State of Maryland.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling InfoSonics pursuant to these provisions, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

        Patton Boggs LLP, Denver, Colorado, has acted as our counsel in connection with this offering, including with respect to the validity of the issuance of the securities offered in this prospectus.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

Board of Directors and Shareholders
InfoSonics Corporation and subsidiary

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of InfoSonics Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 financial position of InfoSonics Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

INFOSONICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2003

(unaudited)

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND LINE OF BUSINESS

        InfoSonics Corporation ("InfoSonics") was incorporated in February 1994 in the state of California. InfoSonics and its subsidiary, Axcess Mobile, LLC ("Axcess Mobile)") (collectively, the "Company") sell wireless telecommunication products and accessories to dealer agents and network operators. The Company also sells cellular phone subscriptions for a national cellular provider as well as cellular phones and accessories from retail locations in Southern California. The Company's principal markets are the United States and Latin America.

        The Company acquired Axcess Mobile, a California limited liability company, in December 2000 for forgiveness of $57,755 of trade accounts payable. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition was as follows:

Currents assets   $ 328,501
Property and equipment, net     27,815
Other assets     58,781
  Total assets acquired     415,097
Current liabilities     587,818
Long-term debt     9,273
  Total liabilities assumed     597,091
    Net liabilities assumed   $ 181,994
   

        On July 25, 2003, InfoSonics re-incorporated in the state of Maryland. Immediately thereafter, the Company completed a one for two reverse common stock split. All common stock and common stock equivalents have been retroactively stated to conform with the reverse split.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of InfoSonics and its wholly owned subsidiary, Axcess Mobile. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

        Revenues are recognized upon (i) shipment of the products to customers, (ii) when collection of the outstanding receivables are probable, and (iii) the final price of the product is determined. Commission revenue on phone activations is recorded at the time of the activation and may be charged back to the Company in future periods. The Company provides an allowance for estimated returns based on its experience. A provision for returns is provided in the same period in which the related commission revenue is recorded. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and September 30, 2003, the allowance for chargebacks was $146,713, $163,494, and $329,289 (unaudited), respectively.

F-6


        The Company utilizes SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. Examples of items to be included in comprehensive income, which are excluded from net income, include foreign currency translation adjustments, minimum pension liability adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. Comprehensive income is not presented in the Company's financial statements since the Company did not have any changes in equity from non-owner sources.

        Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and in banks and credit card receivables. The Company maintains its cash deposits at numerous banks located throughout the United States. Deposits at each bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and September 30, 2003, uninsured portions of the balances at those banks aggregated to $2,336,164, $4,724,382, and $319,898 (unaudited), respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk on cash and cash equivalents.

        The Company provides for the possible inability to collect accounts receivable by recording an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company writes off an account when it is considered to be uncollectible. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and September 30, 2003, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $34,011, $133,798, and $117,524 (unaudited), respectively.

        Costs incurred in connection with an anticipated equity offering are capitalized and will be recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital upon the completion of the funding. As of September 30, 2003 the Company capitalized deferred offering costs in the amount of $195,522. These amounts are included in deferred offering costs on the balance sheet. If the offering is terminated all amounts will be charged to operations in the period of the termination.

        Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and consists primarily of cellular phones and cellular phone accessories. The Company provides for the possible inability to sell its inventory by recording a reserve. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and September 30, 2003, the inventory obsolescence reserve was $28,311, $23,556, and $103,421 (unaudited), respectively.

F-7


        Property and equipment are stated at cost. The Company provides for depreciation using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to seven years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized. Gains or losses on the sale of property and equipment are reflected in the statements of operations.

        The Company's financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. The book value of all other financial instruments are representative of their fair values.

        SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," establishes and encourages the use of the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements under which compensation cost is determined using the fair value of stock-based compensation determined as of the date of grant and is recognized over the periods in which the related services are rendered. The statement also permits companies to elect to continue using the current implicit value accounting method specified in Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," to account for stock-based compensation. The Company has elected to use the intrinsic value based method and has disclosed the pro forma effect of using the fair value based method to account for its stock-based compensation.

        The Company expenses all advertising costs, including direct response advertising, as they are incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 and the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 was $15,679, $3,137, $2,133, $24,663 (unaudited), and $11,245 (unaudited), respectively.

        The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

F-8


        During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, Axcess Mobile entered into an agreement with a cellular phone service provider as an incentive to switch cellular phone carriers. The agreement requires the Company acquire a certain number of new subscribers by December 31, 2003. The Company is amortizing the amount on an activation basis through December 31, 2003.

        The Company utilizes SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." SFAS No. 128 replaced the previously reported primary and fully diluted earnings (loss) per share with basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Unlike primary earnings (loss) per share, basic earnings (loss) per share exclude any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

        In May 2003, the Company affected an eight-to-one stock split of its common stock. All share and per share data have been retroactively restated to reflect the stock split. On July 25, 2003, the Company affected a one for two reverse split of its common stock. All share and per share data have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split.

        The Company accounts for segments in accordance with SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services.

        The preparation of financial statements requires management 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        The Company contracts with various suppliers. Although there are a limited number of suppliers that could supply the Company's inventory, management believes other suppliers could provide the needed materials on comparable terms. However, a change in suppliers could cause a delay in sales and adversely effect results.

        During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company purchased materials from three suppliers, which accounted for 28%, 14%, and 12% of total cost of sales. During the year ended December 31,

F-9



2001, the Company purchased materials from one supplier, which accounted for 19% of total cost of sales. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company purchased materials from three suppliers, which accounted for 21%, 17%, and 13% of total cost of sales. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company purchased materials from three suppliers, which accounted for 39%, 19%, and 17% of total cost of sales.

        The Company provides credit to its customers primarily in the United States and Latin America in the normal course of business. During the year ended December 31, 2002, two customers accounted for 12%, and 10% of total product sales. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, one customer accounted for 15% (unaudited) of total product sales. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, two customers accounted for 17% and 10% (unaudited) of total product sales.

        At December 31, 2002, three customers accounted for 12%, 12%, and 10% of accounts receivable. At December 31, 2001, two customers accounted for 13% and 11% of accounts receivable. At September 30, 2003, two customers accounted for 18% and 16% (unaudited) of accounts receivable. The Company does not obtain collateral with which to secure its accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains reserves for potential credit losses based upon the Company's historical experience related to credit losses and any unusual circumstances that may affect the ability of its customers to meet their obligations.

        In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." SFAS No. 145 updates, clarifies, and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements. This statement rescinds SFAS No. 4, which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria in Accounting Principles Board No. 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. SFAS No. 64 amended SFAS No. 4 and is no longer necessary as SFAS No. 4 has been rescinded. SFAS No. 44 has been rescinded as it is no longer necessary. SFAS No. 145 amends SFAS No. 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions be accounted for in the same manner as sale-lease transactions. This statement also makes technical corrections to existing pronouncements. While those corrections are not substantive in nature, in some instances, they may change accounting practice. Management does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 145 to have a material impact, if any, on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

        In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force ("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)." This statement requires that a liability for a cost

F-10



associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF Issue 94-3, a liability for an exit cost, as defined, was recognized at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. The provisions of this statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 with earlier application encouraged. Management does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 146 to have a material impact, if any, on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

        In October 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions." SFAS No. 147 removes the requirement in SFAS No. 72 and Interpretation 9 thereto, to recognize and amortize any excess of the fair value of liabilities assumed over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired as an unidentifiable intangible asset. This statement requires that those transactions be accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." In addition, this statement amends SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," to include certain financial institution-related intangible assets. Management does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 147 to have a material impact, if any, on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

        In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure," an amendment of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require more prominent and more frequent disclosures in financial statements about the effects of stock-based compensation. This statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. SFAS No. 148 will not have any impact on the Company's financial statements as management does not have any intention to change to the fair value method.

        In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting and reporting for derivative instruments and hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 is effective for derivative instruments and hedging activities entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except for certain forward purchase and sale securities. For these forward purchase and sale securities, SFAS No. 149 is effective for both new and existing securities after June 30, 2003. Management does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 149 to have a material impact on the Company's statements of earnings, financial position, or cash flows.

        In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. In accordance with the standard, financial instruments that embody obligations for the issuer are required to be classified as liabilities. SFAS No. 150 will be effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise will be effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Management does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 150 to have a material impact on the Company's statements of earnings, financial position, or cash flows.

NOTE 3—PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

        Property and equipment at December 31, 2002 and 2001 and September 30, 2003 consisted of the following:

 
   
  December 31,
 
  September 30,
2003

 
  2002
  2001
 
  (unaudited)

Furniture and fixtures     23,352     23,352     23,352
Kiosk fixtures     80,380     75,481     85,320
Automobiles and trucks             16,609
   
 
 
      244,733     220,045     237,558
Less accumulated depreciation     158,189     139,705     105,549
   
 
 
  Total   $ 86,543   $ 80,340   $ 132,009
   
 
 

        Depreciation expense was $43,339, $41,094, $25,743, $18,485 (unaudited), and $44,399 (unaudited) for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 and the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

NOTE 4—GOODWILL

        Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired of Axcess Mobile. As of January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 prohibits the amortization of goodwill, but requires that it be reviewed for impairment at least annually or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that could indicate that its value has diminished or been impaired. Recoverability of goodwill is measured by a comparison of its carrying value to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by it.

        Cash flow projections are based on historical experience, management's view of growth within the industry, and the anticipated future economic environment. At December 31, 2002, management determined that an impairment was not required. Amortization prior to implementation of SFAS 142 was not material as such the pro-forma information required by SFAS 142 is not presented.

NOTE 5—LINE OF CREDIT

        The Company has available a line of credit from a bank, which allows the Company and an entity affiliated through common ownership to borrow up to a maximum of $6,500,000. The line of credit provides for advances not to exceed 80% of eligible domestic and foreign insured accounts receivable. The majority of the debtors are domestic.

        Interest is payable on a monthly basis at prime (4.25% at December 31, 2002) or at the London Inter-Bank Offering Rate (1.45% at December 31, 2002), plus 2.25% for the first $500,000 and 2.5% for amounts over $500,000. The line of credit is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company, personally guaranteed by the Company's majority shareholder, and expires in March 2004. In addition, the line of credit contains certain covenants. Management believes the Company was in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2002. At December 31, 2002 and 2001 and September 30, 2003, the amount drawn against the line of credit was $2,300,000, $1,502,872, and $5,499,949 (unaudited), respectively.

F-12


NOTE 6—NOTES PAYABLE—RELATED PARTIES

        Notes payable—related parties at December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2003 are unsecured, bear interest at 15% per annum, are subordinated to the line of credit, and mature in September 2004.

NOTE 7—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        The Company leases its corporate and administrative office facilities and certain equipment under operating lease agreements, which expire through June 2005. Certain of the agreements contain renewal options. Future minimum payments under these operating lease agreements at December 31, 2002 were as follows:

Year Ending December 31,

   
2003   $ 814,524
2004     390,554
2005     88,379
   
  Total   $ 1,293,457
   

        Rent expense was $900,048, $691,987, $136,969, $645,990 (unaudited), and $668,282 (unaudited) for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

        During April 2003, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with an advisor related to certain investment banking services. In the event that the advisor engineers a merger, the Company will be obligated to pay 5% of the net proceeds of the transaction payable monthly over a twelve month period and warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of 120% of the initial public offering price for a period of five years.

        In the event that the advisor obtains a firm commitment from an underwriter for an initial public offering of approximately $12,000,000, the Company will be obligated to pay 1% of the net proceeds of the initial public offering payable monthly over a twelve month period and warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of 120% of the initial public offering price for a period of five years.

        The Company may become involved in certain legal proceedings and claims which arise in the normal course of business. Management does not believe that the outcome of any such matter will have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 8—SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

        The Company has authorized the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, which may be issued from time to time in one or more series by the Board of Directors. In addition, the Board is authorized to set the rights, preference, privileges, and restrictions of these shares, including dividends rights, conversion rights, voting rights, and liquidation preferences. These shares may have rights senior to those of the Company's common stock holders. As of December 31, 2001, 2002 and September 30, 2003, the Company did not have any preferred shares outstanding.

        During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company issued a note payable in the amount of $250,000 to purchase 800,000 shares of common stock from a former officer. The note was paid off during the year ended December 31, 2002. There was no compensation charge recorded in connection with this transaction as the purchase price of the common stock was equal to the common stock's fair market value.

        During June 1998, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of a stock option plan (the "1998 Plan"). The 1998 Plan is intended to provide incentives to key employees, officers, and directors of the Company who provide significant services to the Company. There are 2,000,000 shares available for grant under the Plan. The exercise price will be determined by the Option Committee. Options granted under the 1998 Plan vest in accordance with the terms established by the Company's stock option committee and generally terminate 10 years after the date of issuance.

        The following table summarizes all of the Company's stock option transactions:

        The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123. Accordingly, no compensation cost other than that required to be recognized by APB 25 for the difference between the fair value of the Company's common stock at the grant date and the exercise price of the options has been recognized. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

 
  2002
  2001
  2000
Net income (loss)                  
  As reported   $ 426,757   $ (72,894 ) $ 252,667
  Pro forma   $ 421,716   $ (72,894 ) $ 245,877
Basic earnings (loss) per common share                  
  As reported   $ 0.13   $ (0.02 ) $ 0.08
  Pro forma   $ 0.13   $ (0.02 ) $ 0.08
Diluted earnings (loss) per common share                  
  As reported   $ 0.12   $ (0.02 ) $ 0.07
  Pro forma   $ 0.12   $ (0.02 ) $ 0.07

        For purposes of computing the pro forma disclosures required by SFAS No. 123, the fair value of each option granted to employees and directors is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000: dividend yields of 0%, 0%, and 0%, respectively; expected volatility of 0%, 0%, and 0%, respectively; risk-free interest rates of 2.96%, 4.18%, and 6.62%, respectively; and expected lives of two, two, and two years, respectively.

        The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which do not have vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option

F-15



valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

        The General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland allows corporations to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, partner, trustee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or employee benefit plan, unless it is established that:

        Under Maryland law, indemnification may be provided against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding. The indemnification may be provided, however, only if authorized for a specific proceeding after a determination has been made that indemnification is permissible under the circumstances because the person met the applicable standard of conduct. This determination is required to be made:

        If the proceeding is one by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification may not be provided as to any proceeding in which the person is found liable to the corporation.

        A Maryland corporation may pay, before final disposition, the expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by a director, officer, employee or agent in defending a proceeding. Under Maryland law, expenses may be advanced to a director or officer when the director or officer gives a written affirmation of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification and a written undertaking to the corporation to repay the amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification. Maryland law does not require that the undertaking be secured, and the undertaking may be accepted without reference to the financial ability of the director or officer to repay the advance. A Maryland corporation is required to indemnify any director who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of a proceeding for reasonable expenses. The determination as to reasonableness of expenses is required to be made in the same manner as required for indemnification.

        Under Maryland law, the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by statute are not exclusive of any other rights to which a person who is not a director seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any charter, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders, vote of directors or otherwise.

        Our Articles of Incorporation provide that we shall indemnify each director or officer:

        Additionally, our Articles of Incorporation provide that we may indemnify any of our employees or agents to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland, or any similar provision or provisions of applicable law at the time in effect, in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was at any time our employee or agent, or is or was at any time serving at our request as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or employee benefit plan.

        Reasonable expenses incurred in defending any action, suit or proceeding described above shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director, officer or employee to repay such amount to the corporation if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by us.

        In addition to the general indemnification described above, Maryland law permits corporations to include any provision expanding or limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation

II-2



or its stockholders for money damages, but may not include any provision that restricts or limits the liability of its directors or officers to the corporation or its stockholders:

        We have adopted, in our charter, a provision that eliminates and limits the personal liability of each of our directors and officers to the full extent permitted by the laws of the State of Maryland.
