NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Adams Golf, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company", "Adams Golf", "we", "us", or "our") for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The information included reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the operating results for the respective periods.   However, these operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.   Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations.  The notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 14, 2007.

Founded in 1987, Adams Golf, Inc. initially operated as a component supplier and contract manufacturer.   Thereafter, we established our custom fitting operation.  Today we design, assemble, market and distribute premium quality, technologically innovative golf clubs, including Idea a3 irons, Idea a2 and a2 OS irons, Idea Tech OS irons, Idea Pro Irons and Idea a2, Idea Tech OS and Idea Pro I-woods, Insight drivers and fairway woods, RPM drivers and fairway woods, Ovation drivers and fairway woods, the Tight Lies family of fairway woods, the Redline family of fairway woods and drivers, Tight Lies GT500 and GT3 irons and i-woods, the Tom Watson signature and Puglielli series of wedges, and certain accessories.  In addition, in the second quarter of 2007, we began shipping our newest line of products under Women's Golf Unlimited for the brands of Lady Fairway and Square 2 which included our irons sets of Finese and Light & Easy.  Our Company was incorporated in 1987 and re-domesticated in Delaware in 1990.  We completed an internal reorganization in 1997, and we now conduct our operations through several direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, agencies and distributorships.

Foreign net sales are generated in various regions including, but not limited to, Canada (a majority of our foreign sales), Europe, Japan, Australia, South Africa, and South America.  A change in our relationship with one or more of our customers or distributors could negatively impact the volume of foreign sales.

6.   Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.  Due to our historical operating results, management is unable to conclude on a more likely than not basis that all deferred income tax assets generated from net operating losses through December 31, 2002 and other deferred tax assets will be realized.   However, due to our recent earnings history, we have concluded that it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax asset will be realized.  We have recognized a valuation allowance equal to a portion of deferred income tax asset whose realization is uncertain.  Although we have carryforwards due to historical losses, current tax law for calculating Alternative Minimum Tax allows us to use carryforwards only up to 90% of the annual liability.  Accordingly, AMT tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $33,000 and $27,000, respectively and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $80,000 and $27,000, respectively.

In January 2007, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company's financial statements.  FIN 48 requires companies to determine whether it is "more likely than not" that a tax portion will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit can be recorded in the financial statements.  It also provides guidance on the recognition, measurement and classification of income tax uncertainties, along with any related interest and penalties.  We did not recognize any adjustments to our financial statements as a result of our implementation of FIN 48.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

7.   Other Assets

Other assets increased from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007 due to the purchase of selected assets of Women's Golf Unlimited.  On February 1, 2007, we concluded the transaction of purchasing certain trademarks, customer lists and website domains of Women's Golf Unlimited, which includes the brands of Square Two Golf and Lady Fairway.  We paid $0.6 million for those assets and did not assume any liabilities.  There is a contingent earnout payment of up to a maximum of $0.4 million due on a quarterly basis for a 13 month period following the sale.  This information was provided in an 8-K filing on February 2, 2007 and the full agreement is included in the 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed as an exhibit.


8.   Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately $7.0 million.

9.   Stock-Based Compensation

We adopted the 2002 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") for employees, outside directors and consultants.  The Plan allows for the granting of up to 2,500,000 shares of our common stock at the inception of the Plan, plus all shares remaining available for issuance under all predecessor plans on the effective date of this Plan, and additional shares as defined in the Plan.  In addition, the Plan automatically increases 1,000,000 shares available for granting on January 1 of each subsequent year for years 2003 through 2008.  At June 30, 2007, 4,815,812 outstanding options had been granted with exercise prices at $0.01 per share at the date of grant.  The requisite service periods for the options to vest vary from six months to four years and the options expire ten years from the date of grant.  At June 30, 2007, 3,184,632 shares remain available for grant, including forfeitures.

The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $1.09.  No options were granted in the six months ended June 30, 2007. On the date of grant, using the Black Scholes option pricing model, we used the following weighted-average assumptions to value options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2006:  Risk free interest rate, 3.5%; expected life, 10 years; expected dividend yield, 0%; and daily annualized volatility of 107.4%. We use historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination factors within the valuation model. The risk free interest rate is based on the US Treasury yield curve in effect on the grant date for the length of time corresponding to the expected term of the award.

Operating expenses included in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 include total compensation expense associated with stock options and warrants of $262,000 and $244,000, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the compensation expense associated with stock options was $525,000 and $519,000, respectively.

9.   Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)

The weighted average remaining contractual life of the options outstanding at June 30, 2007 was 6.31 years and for options exercisable at June 30, 2007 was 5.83 years.

Under the provisions of the 2002 Equity Incentive Plan, we have the authority to repurchase the taxable portion of the employee's shares that become outstanding after the employee exercises their options.  During the three months ended June 30, 2007, 171,969 shares were repurchased at $2.00 a share totaling $344,000.  All repurchased shares from previous periods are held in treasury. 


Due to the passage of The American Jobs Creation Act and the subsequent IRS Section 409A rules, stock options that were issued at a strike price less than market value at the date of grant will now be considered deferred compensation by the Internal Revenue Service and the individual who was granted the options will incur adverse tax consequences, including, but not limited to excise taxes, unless the individual deemed a future exercise date of the unvested stock options at December 31, 2004 and made this election before December 31, 2005.  As a result of the compliance with the American Job Creation Act, a summary of the elected future exercise dates is as follows:

10.   New Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no new material accounting pronouncements that are applicable to our business for this period.

11.   Liquidity

In February 2006, we signed a revolving credit agreement with Bank of Texas to provide up to $10.0 million in short term debt.  The agreement is collateralized by all of our assets and requires, among other things, us to maintain certain financial performance levels relative to the cash flow leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio, but only when we have an outstanding balance on the facility.  Interest on outstanding balances varies depending on the portion of the line that is used and accrues at a rate from prime less one percent to prime and is due quarterly.  

Our anticipated sources of liquidity over the next twelve months are expected to be cash reserves, projected cash flows from operations, and available borrowings under our credit facility.  We anticipate that operating cash flows and current cash reserves will also fund capital expenditure programs.  These capital expenditure programs can be suspended or delayed at any time with minimal disruption to our operations if cash is needed in other areas of our operations.  In addition, cash flows from operations and cash reserves will be used to support ongoing purchases of component parts for our current and future product lines.  The expected operating cash flow, current cash reserves and borrowings available under our credit facility are expected to allow us to meet working capital requirements during periods of low cash flows resulting from the seasonality of the industry.

11.   Liquidity (continued)

Management believes that sufficient resources will be available to meet our cash requirements through the next twelve months.  Cash requirements beyond twelve months are dependent on our ability to introduce products that gain market acceptance and to manage working capital requirements.  We have introduced new products and taken steps to increase the market acceptance of these and our other products.  If our products fail to achieve appropriate levels of market acceptance, it is possible that we may have to raise additional capital and/or further reduce our operating expenses including further operational restructurings.  If we need to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders would be reduced, stockholders could experience additional dilution, or such equity securities could have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock.  Nevertheless, given the current market price of our common stock and the state of the capital markets generally, we do not expect that we will be able to raise funds through the issuance of our capital stock in the foreseeable future.  We may also find it difficult to secure additional debt financing. There can be no assurance that financing will be available when needed on terms favorable to us, or at all.  Accordingly, it is possible that our only sources of funding will be current cash reserves, projected cash flows from operations and up to $10.0 million of borrowings available under our revolving credit facility.

If adequate funds are not available or not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to continue operations; develop, enhance and market products; retain qualified personnel; take advantage of future opportunities; or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and/or liquidity.

12.   Contingencies

Beginning in June 1999, the first of seven class action lawsuits was filed against us, certain of our current and former officers and directors, and the three underwriters of our initial public offering ("IPO") in the United States District Court of the District of Delaware.  The complaints alleged violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with our IPO.  In particular, the complaints alleged that our prospectus, which became effective July 9, 1998, was materially false and misleading.  The operative complaint was filed on January 24, 2006, and it alleges that the prospectus failed to disclose that unauthorized distribution of our products (gray market sales) threatened our long-term profits and that we engaged in questionable sales practices (including double shipping and unlimited rights of return), which threatened post-IPO financial results.  Discovery closed on August 11, 2006.  On November 21, 2006, all summary-judgment briefing was completed.  On December 13, 2006, we learned that the Delaware District Court judge whom the case was set before was elevated to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.  On December 15, 2006, we were notified that our case was assigned to the vacant judicial position. All proceedings have been postponed until a new judge is confirmed, and there is no trial date set at this time.

12.   Contingencies (continued)

We maintain directors' and officers' and corporate liability insurance to cover certain risks associated with these securities claims filed against us or our directors and officers.  During the period covering the class action lawsuit, we maintained insurance from multiple carriers, each insuring a different layer of exposure, up to a total of $50 million.  In addition, we have met the financial deductible of our directors' and officers' insurance policy for the period covering the time the class action lawsuit was filed.  On March 30, 2006, Zurich American Insurance Company, which provided insurance coverage totaling $5 million for the layer of exposure between $15 million and $20 million, notified us that it was denying coverage due to the fact that it was allegedly not timely notified of the class action lawsuit.  We are currently assessing whether Zurich's denial of coverage is appropriate.  We previously disclosed that Chubb & Son, a division of Federal Insurance Company, had notified us that coverage under Federal's policy, which provided insurance coverage totaling $10 million for the layer of exposure between $20 million and $30 million, and the Executive Risk Indemnity Inc. ("ERII") policy, which provided insurance coverage totaling $10 million for the layer of exposure between $40 million and $50 million, would only attach if the underlying limits are exhausted by payment from the underlying insurance carrier.  On June 18, 2007, Chubb notified us that Federal and ERII will not require that Zurich pay the full amount of its limit of liability before the Federal and ERII policies attach.  Although the amount of Zurich's policy's limit of liability must be satisfied by full payment in legal currency by or on behalf of the insureds, Chubb will accept payment in cash by our company of Zurich's limit of liability to satisfy this requirements, so long as such payment is for covered loss.  At this point in the legal proceedings, we cannot predict with any certainty the outcome of the matter, per the guidance in SFAS 5, and thus can not reasonably estimate future liability on the conclusion of the events, if any.

The underwriters for the IPO are also defendants in the securities class action.  The underwriting agreement that we entered into with the underwriters in connection with the IPO contains an indemnification clause, providing for indemnification against any loss, including defense costs, arising out of the IPO.  After the first lawsuit was filed, the underwriters requested indemnification under the agreement.  Our D&O insurance policy included an endorsement providing $1 million to cover indemnification of the underwriters.  Our D&O insurer has notified the underwriters of the exhaustion of the $1 million sublimit.  We believe that we have no current obligation to pay the underwriters' defense costs.  We believe that the applicable case law provides that the earliest possible time that an obligation to indemnify might exist is after a court has decided conclusively that the underwriters are without fault under the federal securities laws. The litigation is not at that stage yet.  As of Aug 3, 2007, the total amount of outstanding underwriter defense costs was just less than $1.3 million.  At this time, the underwriters are not able to predict with certainty the amount of defense costs they expect to incur going forward, but it is likely they will incur additional costs before this matter is concluded.  At this time, we cannot predict with any certainty the outcome of this indemnification issue, per the guidance in SFAS 5, and thus cannot reasonably estimate future liability on the conclusion of the events, if any.

From time to time, we are engaged in various other legal proceedings in the normal course of business.  The ultimate liability, if any, for the aggregate amounts claimed cannot be determined at this time.

14.   Business and Credit Concentrations

We are currently dependent on four customers, which collectively comprised approximately 24% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2007. All four customers individually represented greater than 5% but less than 10% of net sales, and no customers represent greater than 10%.  For the three months ended June 30, 2006, four customers collectively comprised approximately 28% of net sales; three of these customers individually represented greater than 5% but less than 10% of net sales, while one customer individually represented greater than 10%, but no customers represented greater than 15%.  

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, we are currently dependent on four customers, which collectively comprised approximately 26% of net sales.  Of these, three customers individually represented greater than 5% but less than 10% of net sales, and one customer represented greater than 10% but less than 15%. No customers represented greater than 15%.  For the six months ended June 30, 2006, four customers comprised approximately 27% of net sales while three customers individually represented greater than 5% but less than 10% of total net sales and one customer individually represented greater than 10%, but no customers represented greater than 15%.  Should these customers or our other customers fail to meet their obligations to us, our results of operations and cash flows would be adversely impacted.  

A significant portion of our inventory purchases are from one supplier.  That supplier represents approximately 38% and 66% of total inventory purchases for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  This supplier and many other industry suppliers are located in China.  We do not anticipate any changes in the relationships with our suppliers; however, if any changes were to occur, we believe we would have alternative sources available although they might result in possible increased costs, potential changes in terms or possible delays in the delivery of product.

15.   Product Warranty Reserve

Our golf equipment is sold under warranty against defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year.  An allowance for estimated future warranty costs is recorded in the period products are sold.  In estimating our future warranty obligations, we consider various relevant factors, including our stated warranty policies, the historical frequency of claims, and the cost to replace or repair the product.  Accounting for product warranty reserve could be adversely affected if one or more of our products were to fail (i.e broken shaft, broken head, etc) to a significant degree above and beyond our historical product failure rates, which determine the product warranty accruals.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.  Based upon changing conditions, should any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein.  Except as required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any written or oral forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason after the date of this Quarterly Report.  All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the applicable cautionary statements.

Overview

We design, assemble, market and distribute premium quality, technologically innovative golf clubs, including Idea a3 irons, Idea a2 and a2 OS irons, Idea Tech OS irons, Idea Pro Irons and Idea a2, Idea Tech OS and Idea Pro I-woods, Insight drivers and fairway woods, RPM drivers and fairway woods, Ovation drivers and fairway woods, the Tight Lies family of fairway woods, the Redline family of fairway woods and drivers, Tight Lies GT500 and GT3 irons and i-woods, the Tom Watson signature and Puglielli series of wedges, and certain accessories. In addition, in the second quarter of 2007, we began shipping our newest line of products under Women's Golf Unlimited for the brands of Lady Fairway and Square 2 which included our irons sets of Finese and Light & Easy.  Our Company was incorporated in 1987 and re-domesticated in Delaware in 1990.  We completed an internal reorganization in 1997, and we now conduct our operations through several direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, agencies and distributorships.

Our net sales are primarily derived from sales to on- and off- course golf shops and sporting goods retailers and, to a lesser extent, international distributors and mass merchandisers.  No assurances can be given that demand for our current products or the introduction of new products will allow us to achieve historical levels of sales in the future.

We manage all stages of manufacturing, from sourcing to assembly, in order to maintain a high level of product quality and consistency.  We establish product specifications, select the material used to produce the components, and test the specifications of components we receive.

As part of our quality control program, we periodically review the quality assurance programs at the manufacturing facilities of our component part suppliers to monitor adherence to design specifications.  Upon arrival at our facilities in Plano, Texas, the components used in our clubs are again checked to ensure consistency with our design specifications.  Golf clubs are then assembled using the appropriate component parts.

We have put into place a purchasing procedure that strives to negotiate effective terms with various vendors while continuing to ensure the quality of our components.  We are continually re-evaluating existing vendors while testing potential new vendors for all the various product lines we offer.  At any time, we may purchase a substantial majority of our volume of a specific component part from a single vendor, but we continually strive to maintain primary and secondary suppliers for each component part.  Substantially all of our fairway wood, driver, iron, i-wood, wedge and putter component parts are manufactured in China.  Since many of our available component suppliers are located in close proximity in Asia, this concentration could adversely effect our ability to obtain components resulting from negative events such as, but not limited to, foreign government relations, import and export control, political unrest, disruptions or delays in shipments and changes in economic conditions and fluctuation in exchange rates.  A significant portion of our inventory purchases are from one supplier in China representing approximately 38% and 66% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  We do not anticipate any changes in the relationships with our suppliers; however, if such change were to occur, we could, in the future, experience shortages of components or periods of increased price pressures or changes in terms, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial position and/or liquidity.  To date, we have not experienced any material interruptions in supply from any supplier.

Costs of our clubs consist primarily of component parts, including the head, shaft and grip.  To a lesser extent, our cost of goods sold includes labor, occupancy and shipping costs in connection with the inspection, testing, assembly and distribution of our products and certain promotional and advertising costs given in the form of additional merchandise as consideration to customers.

Key Performance Indicators

Our management team has defined and tracks performance against several key sales, operational and balance sheet performance indicators.  Key sales performance indicators include, but are not limited to, the following:

          --Daily sales by product group
          --Daily sales by geography
          --Sales by customer channel
          --Gross margin performance
          --Market share by product at retail
          --Inventory share by product at retail

Tracking these sales performance indicators on a regular basis allows us to understand whether we are on target to achieve our internal sales plans.

Key operational performance indicators include, but are not limited to, the following:

          --Product returns (dollars and percentage of sales)
          --Product credits (dollars and percentage of sales)
          --Units shipped per man-hour worked
          --Orders shipped on time
          --Expenses by department
          --Inbound and outbound freight cost by mode (dollars and dollars per unit)

          --Inbound freight utilization by mode (ocean vs air)


Tracking these operational performance indicators on a regular basis allows us to understand whether we will achieve our expense targets and efficiently satisfy customer demand.

Key balance sheet performance indicators include, but are not limited to, the following:

          --Days of sales outstanding
          --Days of inventory (at cost)
          --Days of payables outstanding

Tracking these balance sheet performance indicators on a regular basis allows us to understand our working capital performance and forecast cash flow and liquidity.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity 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 these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments 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 revenues and expenses during the period.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  On an on-going basis, we review our estimates to ensure that the estimates appropriately reflect changes in our business.

   Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market and primarily consist of finished golf clubs and component parts.  Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.  The inventory balance, which includes material, labor and assembly overhead costs, is recorded net of an estimated allowance for obsolete inventory.  The estimated allowance for obsolete inventory is based upon management's understanding of market conditions and forecasts of future product demand.  Accounting for inventories could result in material adjustments if market conditions and future demand estimates are significantly different than original assumptions, causing the reserve for obsolescence to be materially adversely affected.

   Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when the product is shipped.  At that time, the title and risk of loss transfer to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured.  Collectability is evaluated on an individual customer basis taking into consideration historical payment trends, current financial position, results of independent credit evaluations and payment terms.  Additionally, an estimate of product returns and warranty costs are recorded when revenue is recognized.  Estimates are based on historical trends taking into consideration current market conditions, customer demands and product sell through.  We also record estimated reductions in revenue for sales programs such as co-op advertising and spiff incentives.  Estimates in the sales program accruals are based on program participation and forecast of future product demand.  If actual sales returns and sales programs significantly exceed the recorded estimated allowances, our sales would be adversely affected.  We recognize deferred revenue as a result of sales that have extended terms and a right of return of the product under a specified program.  Once the product is paid for and all revenue recognition criteria have been met, we record revenue.

   Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments.  An estimate of uncollectable amounts is made by management using an evaluation methodology involving both overall and specific identification.  We evaluate each individual customer and measure various key aspects of the customer such as, but not limited to, their overall credit risk (via Dun and Bradstreet reports), payment history, track record for meeting payment plans, industry communications, the portion of the customer's balance that is past due and other various items.  From an overall perspective, we also look at the aging of the receivables in total and aging relative to prior periods to determine the appropriate reserve requirements.   Fluctuations in the reserve requirements will occur from period to period as the change in customer mix or strength of the customers could affect the reserve disproportionately compared to the total change in the accounts receivable balance.  Based on management's assessment, we provide for estimated uncollectable amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to the valuation allowance.  Balances that remain outstanding after we have used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable.  We generally do not require collateral.  Accounting for an allowance for doubtful accounts could be significantly affected as a result of a deviation in our assessment of any one or more customers' financial strength.  While only three customers represent greater than 5% but less than 10% of net sales and one customer represents greater than 10% but less than 15% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007, if a combination of customers were to become financially impaired, our financial results could be severely affected.

   Product Warranty

Our golf equipment is sold under warranty against defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year.  An allowance for estimated future warranty costs is recorded in the period products are sold.  In estimating our future warranty obligations, we consider various relevant factors, including our stated warranty policies, the historical frequency of claims, and the cost to replace or repair the product.  Accounting for product warranty reserve could be adversely affected if one or more of our products were to fail (i.e broken shaft, broken head, etc) to a significant degree above and beyond our historical product failure rates, which determine the product warranty accruals.

   Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.  Due to our historical operating results, management is unable to conclude on a more likely than not basis that all deferred income tax assets generated from net operating losses through December 31, 2002 and other deferred tax assets will be realized.   However, due to the recent earnings history, we have concluded that it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax asset will be realized.  We have recognized a valuation allowance equal to a portion of deferred income tax asset whose realization is uncertain.

   Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We follow the guidance in SFAS ("Statement of Financial Accounting Standards") 144 in reviewing long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.  During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, there were no impairments of long-lived assets.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2006

Total net sales increased to $30.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 from $25.7 million for the same comparable period of 2006 primarily resulting from the successful product introductions of the Idea a3 Irons and Tech OS Irons combined with the continued strength of the Idea a2 and a2 OS Irons.  Several factors affect a product's life, including but not limited to, customer acceptance, competition and technology.  As a result, each product family's life cycles generally range from one to three years.  Due to the seasonality of our business, one quarter's financial results are not indicative of the full fiscal year's expected financial results.

Net sales of irons increased to $21.4 million, or 70.6% of total net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 from $17.9 million, or 69.4% of total net sales, for the comparable period of 2006.  The increase was primarily generated from the net sales of recently launched Idea a3 irons and Tech OS irons coupled with the continued sales of the Idea a2 and a2 OS irons and integrated iron sets while the prior period net sales primarily resulted from the Idea a2 and a2 OS irons and integrated iron sets.

Net sales of drivers decreased to $2.3 million, or 7.5% of total net sales, for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 from $2.8 million, or 10.9% of total net sales, for the comparable period of 2006.  A large portion of the driver net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was generated by the Insight driver, which was introduced in the first quarter of 2007 while prior period net sales were driven by the Redline RPM product line.

Net sales of fairway woods increased to $6.6 million, or 21.6% of total net sales, for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, from $4.5 million, or 17.5% of total net sales, for the comparable period of 2006.  Second quarter 2007 net sales were generated from Insight fairway woods and Idea a3, Idea a2 and a2 OS, Idea Pro and Tech OS I-woods.  Second quarter 2006 net sales were generated from RPM LP fairway woods, Idea a2 and a2 OS I-woods and Original Tight Lies fairway woods.

We are currently dependent on four customers, which collectively comprised approximately 24% of net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.  All four customers individually represented greater than 5% but less than 10% of net sales and no customer represented greater than 10% of net sales.  Should these customers or our other customers fail to meet their obligations to us, our results of operations and cash flows would be adversely impacted.

Net sales of our products outside the U.S. increased to $5.9 million, or 19.3% of total net sales, from $5.4 million, or 20.8% of total net sales, for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  Net sales resulting from countries outside the U.S. excluding Canada remained flat at 6.8% of total net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2006.

Cost of goods sold increased to $17.1 million, or 56.2% of total net sales, for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 from $14.6 million, or 56.6% of total net sales, for the comparable period of 2006.  The decrease as a percentage of total net sales is primarily due to changes in the product mix and slight improvements in commodity costs.

Selling and marketing expenses increased to $7.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 from $6.6 million for the comparable period in 2006.  The increase is primarily the result of additional commission expense of $0.4 million as a result of the increased net sales during the period and an increase in tour player expenses of $0.2 million.

General and administrative expenses remained flat at $2.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and the comparable period in 2006.

Research and development expenses, primarily consisting of costs associated with development of new products, increased to $0.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 from $0.6 million for the comparable period in 2006.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2006

Total net sales increased to $58.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $48.0 million for the same comparable period of 2006 primarily resulting from the successful product introductions of the Idea a3 Irons and Tech OS Irons.  Several factors affect a product's life, including but not limited to, customer acceptance, competition and technology.  As a result, each product family's life cycles generally range from one to three years.  Due to the seasonality of our business, one quarter's financial results are not indicative of the full fiscal year's expected financial results.

Net sales of irons increased to $39.0 million, or 67.1% of total net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $31.2 million, or 65.0% of total net sales, for the comparable period of 2006.  The increase was primarily generated from the net sales of recently launched Idea a3 irons and Tech OS irons coupled with the continued sales of the Idea a2 and a2 OS irons and integrated iron sets while the prior period net sales primarily resulted from the Idea a2 and a2 OS irons and integrated iron sets.

Net sales of drivers increased to $6.8 million, or 11.6% of total net sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $5.3 million, or 11.0% of total net sales, for the comparable period of 2006.  A large portion of the driver net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was generated by the Insight driver, which was introduced in the first quarter of 2007, while prior period net sales were driven by the Redline RPM product line.

Net sales of fairway woods increased to $11.8 million, or 20.3% of total net sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2007, from $10.4 million, or 21.8% of total net sales, for the comparable period of 2006.  Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were generated from Insight fairway woods and Idea a3, Idea a2 and a2 OS, Idea Pro and Tech OS I-woods.  Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were generated from RPM LP fairway woods, Idea a2 and a2 OS I-woods and Original Tight Lies fairway woods.

We are currently dependent on four customers, which collectively comprised approximately 26% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007.  Of these, three customers individually represented greater than 5% but less than 10% of net sales and one customer represented greater than 10% but less than 15% of net sales.  No customer represented greater than 15% of net sales. Should these customers or our other customers fail to meet their obligations to us, our results of operations and cash flows would be adversely impacted.

Net sales of our products outside the U.S. increased to $9.5 million, or 16.4% of total net sales, from $9.1 million, or 19.0% of total net sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  Net sales resulting from countries outside the U.S. excluding Canada decreased to 5.2% of total net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from 6.8% for the same comparable period of 2006.

Cost of goods sold increased to $32.7 million, or 56.2% of total net sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $26.4 million, or 55.0% of total net sales, for the comparable period of 2006.  The increase as a percentage of total net sales is primarily due to changes in the product mix and increases in some component pricing, increasing inbound freight costs related to fuel price increases and other inventory related costs.

Selling and marketing expenses increased to $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $11.5 million for the comparable period in 2006.  The increase is primarily the result of additional commission expense of $0.9 million as a result of the increased net sales during the period and an increase in tour player expenses of $0.5 million and an increase in other compensation expenses of $0.3 million.

General and administrative expenses increased to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $3.8 million for the comparable period in 2006 primarily related to compensation expenses.

Research and development expenses, primarily consisting of costs associated with development of new products, increased to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $1.2 million for the comparable period in 2006 primarily related to compensation expenses resulting from increased staffing efforts.

Our inventory balances were approximately $25.2 million and $24.7 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.  The increase in inventory levels is primarily a result of increased purchasing related to the Idea a3 Irons, which were launched in the second quarter of 2007 and Insight Drivers and fairway woods, which were launched in the first quarter of 2007.

Our net accounts receivable balances were approximately $27.8 million and $13.6 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.  The increase is primarily due to significant sales revenue and the strengthening of our existing product lines. Due to the seasonality of our business, fluctuations in our accounts receivable balance from period to period are to be expected.

Our accounts payable balances were approximately $10.6 million and $6.3 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.  The increase in accounts payable is primarily associated with increases in inventory purchases associated with the recent product launch of the Idea a3 Irons and Insight fairway and wood product lines.

Our accrued liabilities balances were approximately $10.5 million and $7.5 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.  The increase in accrued liabilities is primarily associated with increases in accruals related to commissions payable, inventory in transit, sales promotions, and our deferred revenue program.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $7.8 million at June 30, 2007 compared to $9.5 million at December 31, 2006.  During the six months ended June 30, 2007, inventory increased $0.5 million and accounts receivable increased $13.1 million.   These increases were partially offset by an increase in accrued expenses and accounts payable of $6.0 million.

In February 2006, we signed a revolving credit agreement with Bank of Texas to provide up to $10.0 million in short term debt.  The agreement is collateralized by all of our assets and requires, among other things, us to maintain certain financial performance levels relative to the cash flow leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio, but only when we have an outstanding balance on the facility.  Interest on outstanding balances varies depending on the portion of the line that is used and accrues at a rate from prime less one percent to prime and is due quarterly.  As of August 3, 2007, we have no outstanding borrowings on our credit facility.  

Working capital increased at June 30, 2007 to $42.8 million compared to $36.0 million at December 31, 2006.   Approximately 43% of our current assets are comprised of accounts receivable at June 30, 2007.  Due to industry sensitivity to consumer buying trends and available disposable income, we have in the past extended payment terms for specific purchase transactions.  Issuance of these terms (i.e. greater than 30 days or specific dating) is dependent on our relationship with the customer and the customer's payment history.  Payment terms are extended to selected customers typically during off-peak times in the year in order to promote our brand name and to assure adequate product availability, often to coincide with planned promotions or advertising campaigns.  Although a significant amount of our sales are not affected by these terms, the extended terms do have a negative impact on our financial position and liquidity.  We expect to continue to selectively offer extended payment terms in the future, depending upon known industry trends and our financial condition.  We generate cash flow from operations primarily by collecting outstanding trade receivables.  Because we have limited cash reserves, if collections of a significant portion of trade receivables are unexpectedly delayed, we would have a limited amount of funds available to further expand production until such time as we could collect a significant portion of the trade receivables.  If our cash needs in the near term exceed the available cash and cash equivalents on hand and the available borrowing under the credit facility, we would be required to obtain additional financing or limit expenditures to the extent of available cash on hand, all of which could significantly adversely effect our current growth plans and result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and/or liquidity.

Our anticipated sources of liquidity over the next twelve months are expected to be cash reserves, projected cash flows from operations, and available borrowings under our credit facility.  We anticipate that operating cash flows and current cash reserves will also fund capital expenditure programs.  These capital expenditure programs can be suspended or delayed at any time with minimal disruption to our operations if cash is needed in other areas of our operations.  In addition, cash flows from operations and cash reserves will be used to support ongoing purchases of component parts for our current and future product lines.  The expected operating cash flow, current cash reserves and borrowings available under our credit facility are expected to allow us to meet working capital requirements during periods of low cash flows resulting from the seasonality of the industry.

Management believes that sufficient resources will be available to meet our cash requirements through the next twelve months.  Cash requirements beyond twelve months are dependent on our ability to introduce products that gain market acceptance and to manage working capital requirements.  We have introduced new products and taken steps to increase the market acceptance of these and our other products.  If our products fail to achieve appropriate levels of market acceptance, it is possible that we may have to raise additional capital and/or further reduce our operating expenses including further operational restructurings.  If we need to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of the stockholders of our Company would be reduced, stockholders could experience additional dilution, or such equity securities could have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock.  Nevertheless, given the current market price of our common stock and the state of the capital markets generally, we do not expect that we will be able to raise funds through the issuance of our capital stock in the foreseeable future.  We may also find it difficult to secure additional debt financing. There can be no assurance that financing will be available when needed on terms favorable to us, or at all.  Accordingly, it is possible that our only sources of funding will be current cash reserves, projected cash flows from operations and up to $10.0 million of borrowings available under our revolving credit facility.

If adequate funds are not available or not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to continue operations; develop, enhance and market products; retain qualified personnel; take advantage of future opportunities; or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and/or liquidity.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Introduction

"Disclosure Controls and Procedures" are defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a -15(e) and 15d -15 (e) as the controls and procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified by the SEC's rules and forms.  Disclosure Controls and Procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

"Internal Control Over Financial Reporting" is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a -15(f) and 15d -15(f) as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, an issuer's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by an issuer's board of directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  It includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of an issuer; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the issuer's assets that could have a material adverse effect on the financial statements.

We have endeavored to design our Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting to provide reasonable assurances that our objectives will be met.  All control systems are subject to inherent limitations, such as resource constraints, the possibility of human error, lack of knowledge or awareness, and the possibility of intentional circumvention of these controls.  Furthermore, the design of any control system is based, in part, upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events, which assumptions may ultimately prove to be incorrect.  As a result, no assurances can be made that our control system will detect every error or instance of fraudulent conduct, including an error or instance of fraudulent conduct, which could have a material adverse impact on our operations or results.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.   Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our Disclosure Controls and Procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were designed to ensure that material information relating to us is made known to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer by others within our Company, particularly during the period in which this report was being prepared, and that our Disclosure Controls and Procedures were effective.  There were no changes to our Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting.

In addition, it is our policy to not participate in off-balance sheet transactions, including but not limited to special purpose entities.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

Beginning in June 1999, the first of seven class action lawsuits was filed against us, certain of our current and former officers and directors, and the three underwriters of our initial public offering ("IPO") in the United States District Court of the District of Delaware.  The complaints alleged violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with our IPO.  In particular, the complaints alleged that our prospectus, which became effective July 9, 1998, was materially false and misleading.  The operative complaint was filed on January 24, 2006, and it alleges that the prospectus failed to disclose that unauthorized distribution of our products (gray market sales) threatened our long-term profits and that we engaged in questionable sales practices (including double shipping and unlimited rights of return), which threatened post-IPO financial results.  Discovery closed on August 11, 2006.  On November 21, 2006, all summary-judgment briefing was completed.  On December 13, 2006, we learned that the Delaware District Court judge whom the case was set before was elevated to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.  On December 15, 2006, we were notified that our case was assigned to the vacant judicial position. All proceedings have been postponed until a new judge is confirmed, and there is no trial date set at this time.

We maintain directors' and officers' and corporate liability insurance to cover certain risks associated with these securities claims filed against us or our directors and officers.  During the period covering the class action lawsuit, we maintained insurance from multiple carriers, each insuring a different layer of exposure, up to a total of $50 million.  In addition, we have met the financial deductible of our directors' and officers' insurance policy for the period covering the time the class action lawsuit was filed.  On March 30, 2006, Zurich American Insurance Company, which provided insurance coverage totaling $5 million for the layer of exposure between $15 million and $20 million, notified us that it was denying coverage due to the fact that it was allegedly not timely notified of the class action lawsuit.  We are currently assessing whether Zurich's denial of coverage is appropriate.  We previously disclosed that Chubb & Son, a division of Federal Insurance Company, had notified us that coverage under Federal's policy, which provided insurance coverage totaling $10 million for the layer of exposure between $20 million and $30 million, and the Executive Risk Indemnity Inc. ("ERII") policy, which provided insurance coverage totaling $10 million for the layer of exposure between $40 million and $50 million, would only attach if the underlying limits are exhausted by payment from the underlying insurance carrier.  On June 18, 2007, Chubb notified us that Federal and ERII will not require that Zurich pay the full amount of its limit of liability before the Federal and ERII policies attach.  Although the amount of Zurich's policy's limit of liability must be satisfied by full payment in legal currency by or on behalf of the insureds, Chubb will accept payment in cash by our company of Zurich's limit of liability to satisfy this requirements, so long as such payment is for covered loss.  At this point in the legal proceedings, we cannot predict with any certainty the outcome of the matter, per the guidance in SFAS 5, and thus can not reasonably estimate future liability on the conclusion of the events, if any.

The underwriters for the IPO are also defendants in the securities class action.  The underwriting agreement that we entered into with the underwriters in connection with the IPO contains an indemnification clause, providing for indemnification against any loss, including defense costs, arising out of the IPO.  After the first lawsuit was filed, the underwriters requested indemnification under the agreement.  Our D&O insurance policy included an endorsement providing $1 million to cover indemnification of the underwriters.  Our D&O insurer has notified the underwriters of the exhaustion of the $1 million sublimit.  We believe that we have no current obligation to pay the underwriters' defense costs.  We believe that the applicable case law provides that the earliest possible time that an obligation to indemnify might exist is after a court has decided conclusively that the underwriters are without fault under the federal securities laws. The litigation is not at that stage yet.  As of August 3, 2007, the total amount of outstanding underwriter defense costs was just less than $1.3 million.  At this time, the underwriters are not able to predict with certainty the amount of defense costs they expect to incur going forward, but it is likely they will incur additional costs before this matter is concluded.  At this time, we cannot predict with any certainty the outcome of this indemnification issue, per the guidance in SFAS 5, and thus cannot reasonably estimate future liability on the conclusion of the events, if any.

From time to time, we are engaged in various other legal proceedings in the normal course of business.  The ultimate liability, if any, for the aggregate amounts claimed cannot be determined at this time.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We have included in Part I, 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, a description of certain risks and uncertainties that could have an affect on our business, future performance, or financial condition.  We have evaluated our current risk factors and the following additional risk factor has been changed:

Risks of  Adequate Insurance Coverage

Currently, we have potential exposure in our Directors and Officers insurance policy covering the time period of the class action lawsuit, where our third layer of coverage for the $5 million layer between $15 million and $20 million is currently being denied by Zurich, as they claim that we did not notify them timely in the class action lawsuit.  In addition, there is potential risk that Zurich's denial of coverage could adversely affect the coverage layers exceeding the $20 million level.   Chubb & Son, a division of Federal Insurance Company, had notified us that coverage under Federal's policy, which provided insurance coverage totaling $10 million for the layer of exposure between $20 million and $30 million, and the Executive Risk Indemnity Inc. ("ERII") policy, which provided insurance coverage totaling $10 million for the layer of exposure between $40 million and $50 million, would only attach if the underlying limits are exhausted by payment from the underlying insurance carrier.  On June 18, 2007, Chubb notified us that Federal and ERII will not require that Zurich pay the full amount of its limit of liability before the Federal and ERII policies attach.  Although the amount of Zurich's policy's limit of liability must be satisfied by full payment in legal currency by or on behalf of the insureds, Chubb will accept payment in cash by our company of Zurich's limit of liability to satisfy this requirements, so long as such payment is for covered loss.  Additionally, our Directors and Officers insurance policy covering the time period of the class action lawsuit has an endorsement that limits the defense costs covered under the policy for the underwriters of the IPO to $1 million, and at this time the underwriters' attorneys have exhausted this $1 million sublimit. As of August 3, 2007, the total amount of outstanding underwriter defense costs was just less than $1.3 million.  To the extent that our Company is liable for any material amounts denied under or in excess of our Directors and Officer's insurance, or any other insurance policy for that matter, it could have a material effect on our business and our results of operations.
