Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

We have prepared our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to these rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In our opinion, the unaudited interim condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, our consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2013, the interim results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. These interim statements have not been audited. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements, including the notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Notes to interim condensed consolidated financial statements

1. Organization, Nature of Operations, and Principles of Consolidation

References in this report to “we”, “us”, “our”, “Gaiam” or the “Company” refer to Gaiam, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless we indicate otherwise. We are a lifestyle media company providing a broad selection of information, media, products and services to customers who value personal development, wellness, ecological lifestyles, responsible media and conscious community. We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on July 7, 1988.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, and they include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods disclosed in this report are not necessarily indicative of future financial results.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

No changes were made to our significant accounting policies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

Use of Estimates and Reclassifications

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements and disclosures. Although we base these estimates on our best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates. We have made certain reclassifications to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentations.

3. Related Party Transactions

Under Intercorporate Services and Industrial Building Lease Agreements, in the ordinary course of business, we bill and collect at least quarterly charges for services performed and facilities utilized by Real Goods Solar, Inc. (“Real Goods Solar” or “RSOL”).

On May 28, 2013, we sold in the public market 6,017,500 shares of our investment in Real Goods Solar Class A common stock for an average gross per share sale price of $2.7552 and total net proceeds and gain of approximately $16.4 million. At June 30, 2013, we owned approximately 13.4% of Real Goods Solar’s Class A common stock and our Chairman had resigned from RSOL’s board and, thus, we no longer had significant influence over Real Goods Solar. Therefore, we changed our accounting for our investment in RSOL from the equity to cost method. As a result of this accounting method change, we will no longer report our portion of RSOL’s net earnings or losses each period.

At June 30, 2013, we had two subordinated loans receivable from Real Goods Solar with outstanding balances totaling $2.6 million, which bear interest at an annual rate of 10%. On March 27, 2013, the maturity dates for these loans were extended, with $1.0 million now due April 26, 2014 and $1.6 million due April 30, 2014. On April 23, 2013, we entered into a conversion agreement with Real Goods Solar pursuant to which the principal amount of the $1.7 million promissory note with Real Goods Solar dated March 27, 2013 was reduced by $0.1 million in exchange for 62,111 shares of Real Goods Solar’s Class A common stock. The conversion ratio was determined based on the closing market price of Real Goods Solar’s Class A common stock on the date of the conversion agreement. The $1.0 million loan includes certain customary language accelerating the maturity date upon the occurrence of certain events, such as RSOL’s insolvency or bankruptcy. Also, if RSOL completes a sale of at least $50,000 of its capital stock, then we have the option of converting all or any portion of the principal and interest owing on the loan into securities in such sale at the same purchase price as paid by other purchasers in such sale.

Table of Contents

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we collected loan interest from Real Goods Solar of $0.1 million, which is reported as Interest and other expense, net on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

4. Line of Credit

On July 31, 2012, each of our subsidiaries Gaiam Americas, Inc., SPRI Products, Inc., GT Direct, Inc., and Gaiam Vivendi Entertainment (collectively the “Borrowers”) entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “PNC Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, N.A. (“PNC”), as agent and lender. Borrowings are secured by a pledge of the Borrowers’ assets. The PNC Credit Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $35 million ($26 million April 1st through June 30th of each calendar year), subject to borrowing base and related limitations. Subject to certain limitations, the principal amount of the revolving loan is due and payable on the earlier of July 30, 2015 or upon the termination of the PNC Credit Agreement. For additional information about this PNC Credit Agreement, see the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this report.

As of June 30, 2013, the outstanding borrowings on the PNC Credit Agreement were approximately $12.0 million at an average annual interest rate of approximately 3.35% and the amount reserved for outstanding letters of credit and other reserves was $9.4 million. Net unamortized deferred fees and costs associated with this PNC Credit Agreement were $0.3 million at June 30, 2013.

5. Equity

During the first half of 2013, we issued 15,823 shares of our Class A common stock under our 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan to certain of our independent directors, in lieu of cash compensation, for services rendered in 2013.

7. Share-Based Payments

During the first half of 2013, we granted 140,000 stock options under our 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Total share-based compensation expense was $0.2 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and are reported in corporate, general and administration expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

8. Net Income (Loss) Per Share Attributable To Gaiam, Inc. Common Shareholders

Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to Gaiam, Inc. common shareholders excludes any dilutive effects of options. We compute basic net income (loss) per share attributable to Gaiam, Inc. common shareholders using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. We compute diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Gaiam, Inc. common shareholders using the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. We excluded common stock equivalents of 1,544,000 and 1,398,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 1,531,000 and 1,360,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to Gaiam, Inc. common shareholders because their effect was antidilutive.

10. Segment Information

We manage our company and aggregate our operational and financial information in accordance with two reportable segments. The direct to consumer segment contains direct response television marketing, catalog, Internet, retail store and subscription channels; and the business segment comprises retailer, media distribution, and corporate account channels.

Although we are able to track sales by channel, the management, allocation of resources, and analysis and reporting of expenses are presented on a combined basis, at the reportable segment level. Contribution margin is defined as net revenue less cost of goods sold and total operating expenses.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. This section is designed to provide information that will assist in understanding our condensed consolidated financial statements, changes in certain items in those statements from period to period, the primary factors that caused those changes and how certain accounting principles, policies and estimates affect the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Overview and Outlook

We are a lifestyle media and products company providing a broad selection of information, media, products and services to customers who value yoga, fitness, wellness, personal development, and responsible media. We offer our customers the ability to consume content and utilize merchandise based on these values while providing quality offerings at a price comparable to other alternatives. We market our content, media and products through a multi-channel approach including digital media channels, direct to consumers via catalogs, the Internet, direct response television marketing, and digital subscriptions, as well as traditional retail stores. At the end of the second quarter of 2013, not counting digital channels, our products were carried by over 60,000 retail stores in the United States alone.

Our brand is built around our ability to develop and offer media content, products, and lifestyle solutions to consumers in the LOHAS market. We market our media and products through a multi-channel approach including traditional media channels, direct to consumers via ecommerce, direct response television marketing, subscriptions, digital streaming through Gaiam TV and catalogs, and through national retailers, digital partners and corporate accounts. Our content forms the basis of our proprietary offerings, which then drive demand for parallel product and service offerings. Our operations are vertically integrated from content creation, through product development and sourcing, to customer service and distribution.

We market our products and services across two segments: business and direct to consumer. With our ongoing market share growth, we are now the largest and second largest seller of fitness and non-theatrical entertainment media, respectively.

Our business segment sells directly to retailers and digital partners, with our products available in over 60,000 retail doors in the United States. At the end of the second quarter of 2013, our branded store within store presentations were in over 15,000 locations worldwide. During the third quarter of 2012, our business segment expanded the Gaiam brand with strategic store within store placements in all Sports Authority stores and with the SPRI brand in 500 Sears stores. In 2008, we launched a media category management role that is part of our long term strategy and a key step in securing shelf space for media. We have now expanded this strategy to over 6,000 retail doors.

During the second quarter of 2013, the improvement in our business segment’s net revenue was driven by strong sales of Gaiam branded fitness media and accessory products and growth of existing lines of business. Due to our compliment of branded and non-branded products and our number one ranking on Nielsen’s Videoscan for fitness media, we have achieved category management and media aggregator roles and effectively manage the yoga and fitness offerings at some of the largest retailers in the nation. This segment also continues to benefit from growth in the Gaiam branded: Restore, our at-home rehabilitative and restorative offerings; Sol, our premium yoga line; and SPRI, our line of professional fitness accessories. We are continuing to explore ways to expand and capitalize on our strong fitness and wellness brands.

In addition to our fitness accessory business, our business segment distributes entertainment media titles owned by or licensed from third-party studios, as well as those owned by Gaiam. We also provide full distribution services including marketing, logistics, and sales to physical and online digital retailers. The acquisition last year of media distributor Vivendi Entertainment has afforded Gaiam a direct relationship with all major digital retailers, which we have leveraged across all our media titles. During the first half of 2013, we were the second largest non-theatrical distributor according to Nielson Videoscan, behind only Warner, with rights to over 8,000 titles. Just recently, we secured distribution rights for Scripps Networks’ high-profile, lifestyle-oriented content. As the only independent distributor with direct relationships with Target, Wal-Mart, and other meaningful digital media providers across the US retail landscape, we are continuously seeking methods to drive additional growth from our full complement of physical and online digital distribution capabilities.

Through its diverse media reach, the direct to consumer segment provides an opportunity to launch and support new media releases, a sounding board for new product testing, promotional opportunities, a growing subscription base, and customer feedback on Gaiam and the LOHAS industry’s focus and future.

With our direct to consumer segment, we are working on the category and channel expansion of the Gaiam brand by moving our ecommerce and catalog offerings towards more proprietary fitness, wellness, and apparel products. During this repositioning period, we have strategically reduced catalog circulation by approximately 13%, which we plan to ramp back up during the fourth quarter, partly with the circulation of a new fitness only catalog. Additionally, we introduced our branded products through new channels, such as Good Morning America, with targeted promotional pricing campaigns. With our direct response television marketing business, we plan to launch a new infomercial product for our Firm brand during the fourth quarter of 2013. We are also continuing to invest in and actively market our digital subscription platform, Gaiam TV.com, which will allow us to further leverage our existing subscriber base and catalog and Internet consumer relationships to grow our digital sales through the delivery of primarily exclusive media content.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2012

Net revenue. Excluding our direct response television marketing (“DRTV”) business, which had unusual high sales in 2012 due to the success of the Jillian Michaels Body Revolution media and accessories weight loss product, net revenue increased $4.0 million, or 10.8%, to $41.2 million during the second quarter of 2013 from $37.2 million during the second quarter of 2012. Inclusive of DRTV, net revenue decreased $0.9 million, or 2.0%, to $44.5 million. Net revenue in our business segment increased $0.8 million, or 2.6%, to $29.3 million during the second quarter of 2013 from $28.5 million during the second quarter of 2012, due to better sales performance at our top 25 retailers. Excluding our DRTV business, net revenue in our direct to consumer segment increased $3.3 million, or 37.8%, to $11.9 million during the second quarter of 2013 from $8.6 million during the second quarter of 2012. Inclusive of DRTV, net revenue in our direct to consumer segment decreased $1.7 million, or 9.8%. (See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures for Net Revenue tables presented below).

Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold increased $3.5 million, or 19.9%, to $20.9 million during the second quarter of 2013 from $17.4 million during the second quarter of 2012. Cost of goods sold in our business segment increased $1.7 million, or 14.6%, to $13.4 million during the second quarter of 2013 from $11.7 million during the second quarter of 2012 and, as a percentage of net revenue, increased to 45.7% during the second quarter of 2013 from 40.9% during the second quarter of 2012, primarily due to a shift in product sales mix towards higher cost accessories. Cost of goods sold in our direct to consumer segment increased $1.8 million, or 30.6%, to $7.5 million during the second quarter of 2013 from $5.8 million during the second quarter of 2012 and, as a percentage of net revenue, increased to 49.3% during the second quarter of 2013 from 34.1% during the second quarter of 2012, primarily reflecting decreased sales in our direct response television marketing business, which carry lower associated cost of goods sold.

Selling and operating expenses. Selling and operating expenses decreased $2.6 million, or 9.7%, to $24.3 million during the second quarter of 2013 from $26.9 million during the second quarter of 2012 and, as a percentage of net revenue, decreased to 54.5% during the second quarter of 2013 from 59.2% during the second quarter of 2012, primarily due to decreased television advertising costs related to the decline in our direct response television marketing business, partially offset by investments in our digital subscription businesses.

Corporate, general and administration expenses. Corporate, general and administration expenses increased $0.2 million, or 4.7%, to $3.2 million during the second quarter of 2013 from $3.1 million during the second quarter of 2012 and, as a percentage of net revenue, increased to 7.3% during the second quarter of 2013 from 6.7% during the second quarter of 2012, primarily as a result of our investment in brand positioning and research for channel expansion of the Gaiam brand.

Interest and other expense, net. Interest and other expense remained consistent at $0.1 million during the second quarters of 2013 and 2012 as a result of borrowings on our line of credit, partially offset by interest received from Real Goods Solar during 2013.

Gain on sale of investment. Gain on sale of investment of $16.4 million during the second quarter of 2013 represents our gain recognized and net proceeds received from the sale of approximately 6 million shares of our investment in Real Goods Solar’s Class A common stock. We will use a portion of our carried forward tax net operating losses to offset the resulting tax gain.

Loss from equity method investment. Loss from equity method investment was $0.9 million during the second quarter of 2012 and represented our portion of Real Goods Solar’s net loss for that quarter. Since we no longer have significant influence over Real Goods Solar and accordingly have changed the accounting for our investment in Real Goods Solar from the equity to the cost method, we no longer recognize our portion of Real Goods Solar’s net loss in our current year period financial results.

Income tax expense (benefit). Income tax benefit during the second quarter of 2012 was increased primarily due to the reducing of a deferred tax liability related to the carrying value of our equity method investment in Real Goods Solar.

Net income (loss) attributable to Gaiam, Inc. As a result of the above factors, net income attributable to Gaiam, Inc. was $7.9 million, or $0.35 per share, during the second quarter of 2013 compared to a loss of $2.1 million, or $0.09 per share, during the second quarter of 2012.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2012

Net revenue. Excluding our DRTV business, net revenue increased $16.9 million, or 23.2%, to $89.8 million during the first half of 2013 from $72.9 million during the first half of 2012, with internal net revenue growth of $10.6 million or 14.7%. Inclusive of DRTV, net revenue increased $8.4 million, or 9.1%, to $101.2 million. Net revenue in our business segment increased $12.3 million, or 22.6%, to $66.6 million during the first half of 2013 from $54.3 million during the first half of 2012, due to better sales performance at our top 25 retailers and the acquisition of Vivendi. Internal net revenue growth in our business segment was $6.1 million or 11.3% for the first half of 2013. Excluding our DRTV business, net revenue in our direct to consumer segment increased $4.6 million, or 24.9%, to $23.2 million during the first half of 2013 from $18.6 million during the first half of 2012. Inclusive of DRTV, net revenue in our direct to consumer segment decreased $3.9 million, or 10.0%. (See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures for Net Revenue tables presented below).

Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold increased $7.7 million, or 20.4%, to $45.3 million during the first half of 2013 from $37.7 million during the first half of 2012.

Cost of goods sold in our direct to consumer segment increased $2.2 million, or 17.5%, to $14.9 million during the first half of 2013 from $12.7 million during the first half of 2012 and, as a percentage of net revenue, increased to 43.1% during the first half of 2013 from 33.0% during the first half of 2012, primarily reflecting the decrease of sales in our direct response television marketing business, which carry lower associated cost of goods sold.

Selling and operating expenses. Selling and operating expenses increased $1.5 million, or 2.9%, to $52.5 million during the first half of 2013 from $51.1 million during the first half of 2012 and, as a percentage of net revenue, decreased to 51.9% during the first half of 2013 from 55.0% during the first half of 2012, primarily due to additional investments in our digital subscription businesses, partially offset by decreased television advertising costs related to the decline in our direct response television marketing business.

Corporate, general and administration expenses. Corporate, general and administration expenses increased $1.4 million, or 24.7%, to $7.1 million during the first half of 2013 from $5.7 million during the first half of 2012 and, as a percentage of net revenue, increased to 7.0% during the first half of 2013 from 6.1% during the first half of 2012, primarily as a result of our investment in brand positioning and research for channel expansion of the Gaiam brand.

Table of Contents

Interest and other expense, net. Interest and other expense, net increased to $0.3 million during the first half of 2013 from $0.1 million during the first half of 2012 as a result of borrowings on our line of credit, partially offset by $0.1 million of interest received from Real Goods Solar during 2013.

Gain on sale of investment. Gain on sale of investment of $16.4 million during the first half of 2013 represents our gain recognized and net proceeds received from the sale of approximately 6 million shares of our investment in Real Goods Solar’s Class A common stock. We will use a portion of our carried forward tax net operating losses to offset the resulting tax gain.

Loss from equity method investment. Loss from equity method investment was $1.6 million during the first half of 2012 and represented our portion of Real Goods Solar’s net loss for that period. Since we no longer have significant influence over Real Goods Solar and accordingly have changed the accounting for our investment in Real Goods Solar from the equity to the cost method, we no longer recognize our portion of Real Goods Solar’s net loss in our current year period financial results.

Income tax expense (benefit). Income tax expense during the first half of 2013 was increased due to the repatriation of cash from one of our foreign subsidiaries and other permanent differences. Income tax benefit during the first half of 2012 was increased primarily due to the reducing of a deferred tax liability related to the carrying value of our equity method investment in Real Goods Solar.

Net income (loss) attributable to Gaiam, Inc. As a result of the above factors, net income attributable to Gaiam, Inc. was $7.6 million, or $0.33 per share, during the first half of 2013 compared to a loss of $3.3 million, or $0.14 per share, during the first half of 2012.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures For Net Revenue

We have utilized the non-GAAP information set forth below as additional devices to aid in understanding and analyzing our financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. We believe that these non-GAAP measures will allow for a better evaluation of the operating performance of our business and facilitate meaningful comparison of the results in the current period to those in the prior period and future periods. Reference to these non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for results that are presented in a manner consistent with GAAP.

A reconciliation of the GAAP net revenue to the non-GAAP net revenue is set forth below (unaudited, in millions):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our capital needs arise from working capital required to fund operations, capital expenditures related to acquisition and development of media content, development and marketing of our ecommerce and digital platforms and new products, acquisitions of new businesses, replacements, expansions and improvements to our infrastructure, and future growth. These capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including the rate of market acceptance of our product offerings, our ability to expand our customer base, the cost of ongoing upgrades to our product offerings, the level of expenditures for sales and marketing, the level of investment in distribution systems and facilities and other factors. The timing and amount of these capital requirements are variable and we cannot accurately predict them. Additionally, we will continue to pursue opportunities to expand our media libraries, evaluate possible investments in businesses, products and technologies, and increase our sales and marketing programs and brand promotions as needed. We estimate that our capital expenditures will total approximately $2.3 million for 2013.

On July 31, 2012, each of our subsidiaries Gaiam Americas, Inc., SPRI Products, Inc., GT Direct, Inc., and Gaiam Vivendi Entertainment (collectively the “Borrowers”) entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “PNC Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, N.A. (“PNC”), as agent and lender. Borrowings are secured by a pledge of the Borrowers’ assets and our ownership interests in the Borrowers. The PNC Credit Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $35 million ($26 million April 1st through June 30th of each calendar year), subject to borrowing base and related limitations. Subject to certain limitations, the principal amount of the revolving loan is due and payable on the earlier of July 30, 2015 or upon the termination of the PNC Credit Agreement.

For advances that are not Eurodollar rate loans, referred to as “domestic rate loans” in the PNC Credit Agreement, annual interest will accrue at a rate equal to 0.75% plus the higher of (i) PNC’s stated commercial lending rate in effect on such day, (ii) the Federal Funds Open Rate (as defined in the PNC Credit Agreement; essentially the daily federal funds open rate as quoted by ICAP North America, Inc. (or any successor) as published by Bloomberg) in effect on such day plus 0.5%, and (iii) the sum of the Daily LIBOR Rate (as defined in the PNC Credit Agreement; essentially the rate resulting from dividing (x) the daily London Interbank Offered Rates published in the Wall Street Journal for a one month period by (y) a number equal to 1.00 minus the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System’s reserve percentage with respect to eurocurrency funding) in effect on such day plus 1.0%. The Borrowers may also obtain Eurodollar rate loans under the revolving line of credit. Eurodollar rate loans will accrue annual interest at a rate equal to the sum of 2.25% plus the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the PNC Credit Agreement; essentially the rate resulting from dividing (x) the rates at which US dollar deposits are offered by leading banks in the London interbank deposit market as published by Bloomberg, by (y) a number equal to 1.00 minus the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System’s reserve percentage with respect to eurocurrency funding). Interest will be payable monthly in arrears for domestic rate loans and at the end of each interest period for Eurodollar rate loans. Upon and after the occurrence of an event of default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of PNC or at the direction of a certain specified number of lenders, outstanding advances will bear interest at the interest rate set forth above for domestic rate loans plus 2% per year.

The Borrowers paid a fee of $175,000 to PNC in consideration for entering into the PNC Credit Agreement and will pay PNC a fee equal to 0.5% per year on the undrawn amount of the revolving line of credit. The PNC Credit Agreement permits voluntary prepayments of amounts borrowed and reductions or terminations of the revolving commitments pursuant to notice requirements. The Borrowers must also prepay the advances in amounts equal to the net proceeds of certain sales of collateral and the net proceeds of certain issuances of equity interest or indebtedness. The Borrowers must pay an early termination fee equal to 1% of the maximum amount of the revolving line of credit if the Borrowers prepay all advances before July 31, 2014. The PNC Credit Agreement subjects the Company to certain customary affirmative covenants and customary restrictive covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments, pay dividends, and merge. In addition, the PNC Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, and covenant defaults. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, amounts due under the PNC Credit Agreement may be accelerated and the rights and remedies of the lenders under the PNC Credit Agreement may be exercised.

As of June 30, 2013, the outstanding borrowings on the PNC Credit Agreement were approximately $12.0 million at an average annual interest rate of approximately 3.35% and the amount reserved for outstanding letters of credit and other reserves was $9.4 million.

(a) Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 includes approximately $18.7 million of net cash provided by purchased Vivendi Entertainment (“Vivendi”) working capital, which was used to partially fund the acquisition of Vivendi. Excluding the net cash flows from the purchased Vivendi working capital, net cash from operating activities would have been a use of $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Operating activities. Our operating activities used net cash of $2.0 million and provided net cash of $17.4 million during the first halves of 2013 and 2012, respectively. Excluding the net cash flows from the purchased Vivendi working capital, net cash from operating activities would have been a use of $1.3 million for the first half of 2012. Our net cash used by operating activities during the first half of 2013 was primarily attributable to decreased participations and accounts payable of $14.4 million, noncash adjustments of $7.9 million, and increased advances, inventory, other current assets, and deferred advertising costs of $2.6 million, $2.1 million, $1.0 million, and $0.7 million, respectively, partially offset by decreased accounts receivable of $18.6 million and net income of $7.8 million. Our net cash provided by operating activities during the first half of 2012 was primarily attributable to decreased accounts receivable of $31.4 million and noncash adjustments of $4.5 million, partially offset by decreased accounts and participations payable of $6.5 million, increased advances and inventory of $4.9 million and $3.6 million, respectively, and our net loss of $3.4 million. Approximately $18.7 million of the net cash provided by operating activities during the first half of 2012 was generated from purchased Vivendi working capital, which was used to partially fund the acquisition of Vivendi.

Investing activities. Our investing activities provided net cash of $14.2 million and used net cash of $15.7 million during the first halves of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The net cash provided by investing activities during the first half of 2013 was primarily from the $16.4 million net proceeds from the sale of 6,017,500 shares of our investment in Real Goods Solar Class A common stock, partially offset by cash used to acquire property and equipment to maintain normal operations for $1.2 million, media content for $0.7 million, and to purchase partial ownerships of businesses for $0.3 million, net of cash acquired. The net cash used in investing activities during the first half of 2012 was used primarily for the $13.4 million cash portion of the purchase price for Gaiam Vivendi Entertainment and to acquire property and equipment to maintain normal operations for $1.4 million and media content for $0.9 million.

Financing activities. Our financing activities used net cash of $4.3 million and $4.7 million during the first halves of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The net cash used in financing activities during the first half of 2013 was for the repayment of borrowings on our line of credit for $4.3 million. The net cash used in financing activities during the first half of 2012 was used to repay a promissory note for $18.7 million in connection with the acquisition of Gaiam Vivendi Entertainment, partially offset by net borrowings on a line of credit for $14.0 million, the funds from which were used towards the acquisition of Gaiam Vivendi Entertainment and its related expenses.

We currently have a shelf registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission for 5,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock and to date no shares have been issued under this shelf registration.

In the normal course of our business, we investigate, evaluate and discuss acquisition, joint venture, minority investment, strategic relationship and other business combination opportunities in our market. For any future investment, acquisition or joint venture opportunities, we may consider using then-available liquidity, issuing equity securities or incurring additional indebtedness.

Table of Contents

While there can be no assurances, we believe our cash on hand, cash expected to be generated from future operations, cash that could be raised by the sale of our shelf registration stock and/or remaining investment of approximately 4.1 million shares of Real Goods Solar’s Class A common stock, available carried forward tax net operating losses, and borrowing capabilities should be sufficient to fund our operations on both a short-term and long-term basis. However, our projected cash needs may change as a result of acquisitions, product development, unforeseen operational difficulties or other factors.

Risk Factors

We wish to caution you that there are risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different from those indicated by forward looking statements that we make from time to time in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, news releases, reports, proxy statements, registration statements and other written communications as well as oral forward looking statements made from time to time by our representatives. These risks and uncertainties include those risks listed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Historical results are not necessarily an indication of the future results. Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this analysis are forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, general economic and business conditions, competition, pricing, brand reputation, consumer trends, and other factors which are often beyond our control. We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements except as required by law.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks, which include changes in U.S. interest rates and foreign exchange rates. We do not engage in financial transactions for trading or speculative purposes, but do have on occasion forward contracts for foreign currency transactions, the gains and losses from which have been immaterial. In 2010, we acquired controlling financial interest in and, therefore, consolidated Gaiam PTY, an Australian based joint venture. Since Gaiam PTY’s functional currency is the Australian dollar, this subsidiary exposes us to risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. However, we have determined that no material market risk exposure to our consolidated financial position, results from operations or cash flows existed as of June 30, 2013.

We have a revolving line of credit with outstanding borrowings and various letters of credit. Accordingly, any unfavorable change in interest rates could have a material impact on our results from operations or cash flows. As of June 30, 2013, if either of our Credit Agreement’s Eurodollar, LIBOR, PNC’s stated commercial, or Federal Funds Open Rates were to increase by one percentage point, our annual interest expense would increase by approximately $0.1 million, assuming constant debt levels.

We purchase a significant amount of inventory from vendors outside of the U.S. in transactions that are primarily U.S. dollar denominated transactions. A decline in the relative value of the U.S. dollar to other foreign currencies has and may continue to lead to increased purchasing costs.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon their evaluation as of June 30, 2013, our management has concluded that those disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
