PART I

Item 1. Business

OVERVIEW

Nautilus is a fitness products company headquartered in Vancouver, Washington. We are committed
to providing innovative, quality solutions to help people achieve a fit and healthy lifestyle. Our principal business activities include designing, developing, sourcing and marketing high-quality cardiovascular and strength fitness products and
related accessories for consumer home use, primarily in the United States and Canada. Our products are sold under some of the most-recognized brand names in the fitness industry, including Nautilus, Bowflex,
Universal and Schwinn Fitness.

We market our products through two business
segments: Direct and Retail, each representing a distinct marketing distribution channel. Our direct business offers products directly to consumers through direct advertising, catalogs and the Internet. Our retail business offers our products
through a network of independent retail companies located in the United States and Canada, as well as Internet-based merchants. Our commercial business, formerly an operating segment and reported as a discontinued operation beginning in 2009,
offered products to health clubs, schools, hospitals and other organizations, which typically require fitness products specifically designed for higher usage.

Founded in 1986, Nautilus developed and introduced the Bowflex
rod-based home gym and, through the use of infomercials, became a leading direct marketer of fitness equipment. The direct marketing model of selling directly to the consumer grew quickly, allowing the Company to invest its earnings in a series of
strategic acquisitions of well-recognized brands including: Nautilus® in 1999; Schwinn Fitness in 2001; StairMaster in 2002; and Universal in
2006. In the third quarter of 2009, the Company adopted a plan for the complete divestiture of its commercial business, including the StairMaster trademark and StairMaster,
Schwinn Fitness and Nautilus product lines sold in the commercial sales channel. Nautilus plans to retain, however, ownership of the Schwinn and Nautilus
trademarks, and its strong presence in the consumer fitness equipment market through its direct and retail sales channels.

Our company was
incorporated in the state of Washington in January 1993. Unless the context otherwise requires, Nautilus, Company, we, us and our refer to Nautilus, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All
references to 2009 and 2008 in this report refer to our fiscal years ended on December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

BUSINESS
STRATEGY

We are focused on developing and marketing fitness equipment and related products to help people enjoy healthier lives. Our
products are targeted to meet the needs of a broad range of consumers, including fitness enthusiasts and individuals who are seeking the benefits of regular exercise. We have diversified our business by expanding our portfolio of high-quality
fitness equipment into multiple product lines, utilizing well-recognized brands. More recently, our business strategy has focused exclusively on consumer products, markets and distribution channels, which we believe will provide the greatest
long-term value to our shareholders. Implementation of this strategy includes the sale of our fitness apparel business in 2008 and the divestiture of our commercial fitness products business, which we began in late 2009 and expect to complete in
2010.

Product innovation is a vital part of our business. A unique or new product can often provide a significant competitive advantage, as
consumers are looking for ways to improve the effectiveness of their workouts. We continually evaluate new product concepts, generated by both internal and external resources, and seek feedback from users on how to enhance our current product
offerings.

Our strategies incorporate the specific characteristics of our direct and retail business segments. Our direct business
segment focuses on (i) the development of, or acquisition of rights to, unique products, and (ii) the

application of creative, cost-effective ways to communicate the benefits of their use. We are very attentive to direct business metrics, particularly those that provide feedback regarding the
effectiveness of our media marketing programs. In our retail business segment, we strive to enter into business relationships with key retailers of sports or fitness equipment. The primary objectives of our retail business are (i) to
offer a selection of products at key price points in order to maintain lasting relationships with our customers, and (ii) to utilize such relationships and the strength of our brands to obtain more floor space for our products.

As a result of recent economic challenges, we are in the process of restructuring certain aspects of our operations to (i) improve our cost structure
and operating efficiency, and (ii) provide us with greater flexibility to respond to future market opportunities. In addition, we plan to place additional emphasis on our direct business, as the high margin and low working capital requirements
of that business model make it favorable both in difficult economic times and when growth accelerates. We will continue to assess the health of the economy and, if appropriate, will re-evaluate our business strategies and prioritize our use of
resources accordingly.

Our long-term strategy involves: continued investment in research and development activities aimed at creating or
acquiring new technologies; enhancing our product lines by designing fitness equipment that meets or exceeds the high expectations of our customers; utilizing our strengths in product engineering to reduce product costs; and creatively marketing our
equipment, both directly to consumers and through our retail partners, using our popular brand names.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On September 25, 2009, our Board of Directors approved managements plan for the complete divestiture of our commercial
business. On December 29, 2009, we completed the sale of certain assets of our StairMaster and
Schwinn Fitness product lines. On February 19, 2010, we completed an agreement for the sale of certain
assets of our Nautilus strength equipment product lines. The buyer also acquired rights to certain patents,
technologies and other intellectual property, assumed certain outstanding warranty obligations related to our North American commercial products and entered into a short-term lease of our Independence, Virginia manufacturing and warehousing
facilities with an option to purchase such facilities. For further information, see Note 2, Discontinued Operations, in our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2009, the President signed
into U.S. federal law a provision allowing taxpayers to carry back applicable net operating losses for a period of up to five years. This new law allowed us to carry-back a portion of our 2008 net operating loss to prior years in which we had paid
federal taxes and, as a result, we received a U.S. income tax refund of approximately $12.1 million in January 2010.

On March 8, 2010,
we entered into a new loan agreement with Bank of the West (the New Loan Agreement), providing for a $15.0 million revolving secured credit line, available for a thirty-month term. The New Loan Agreement is available for working capital,
standby letters of credit and general corporate purposes, assuming we are able to satisfy certain terms and conditions at the time the borrowings are requested.

PRODUCTS

We market quality strength and cardiovascular fitness products that cover a broad
range of price points and features. Our products are designed for individuals with varying exercise needs. From the person who works out occasionally, to the professional athlete, we have the products that will help them achieve their fitness
objectives.



| |  |  | Our Nautilus brand includes: a complete line of cardio equipment, including specialized products and treadmills, ellipticals and exercise bikes. In early 2009, we introduced new lower priced treadmills specifically designed for the retail business. In
December 2009, we introduced the Mobia, a specialized cardio machine that utilizes dual treads and burns twice
the calories of an equivalent standard treadmill.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

We conduct our business in two segments, Direct and Retail. For further information, see Note 15, Segment Information, in our consolidated
financial statements.

SALES AND MARKETING

Direct

In our direct business, we market and sell our
products, principally Bowflex strength and cardiovascular products, directly to end-consumers. Historically,
almost all of our direct business sales were in strength-related products and accessories, including our Bowflex rod-based home gyms and the Revolution home gym. We have been, and plan to continue to be, the largest direct marketer of strength products in the United States. We have also taken measures to diversify
our product mix by increasing advertising for the Bowflex TreadClimber, a unique cardio fitness product, and by launching the Nautilus Mobia, a
specialized cardio fitness machine.

Our marketing efforts are based on an integrated combination of media and direct consumer contact. We
utilize television advertising, which ranges in length from 30 seconds to as long as five minutes, in addition to extended 30-minute television infomercials; internet advertising; product websites; inquiry response mailings; catalogs and
inbound/outbound call centers. Marketing and media effectiveness is measured continuously based on sales inquiries generated, cost per lead, conversion rates, return on investment and other key metrics. The majority of our direct sales activity
occurs through our call center and Internet websites.

##### Table of Contents

For the year ended December 31, 2009, approximately half of our U.S. customers took
advantage of a financing program offered by HSBC Bank Nevada, N.A. (HSBC) to purchase our products using the private label Bowflex revolving credit card, as compared to approximately two-thirds of our U.S. customers in 2008, reflecting the application of more stringent credit approval standards
by HSBC. We expect that HSBC will continue to apply these more stringent credit approval standards to our customers in 2010. Accordingly, we are investigating other consumer financing options and developing marketing strategies that do not rely on
access to consumer credit as a principal factor in the customers purchase decision. Our current agreement with HSBC expires in 2013.

Retail

In our retail business, we market and sell a comprehensive line of consumer fitness
equipment under the Nautilus, Schwinn Fitness, Universal and
Bowflex brands. Our products are marketed through a network of retail locations, consisting of sporting goods
stores, department stores, governmental agencies and, to a lesser extent, smaller specialty retailers and independent bike dealers.

Retail business sales have historically been led by our strength products, including the Bowflex rod-based home gym and SelectTech dumbbells. However, we believe the fitness equipment market for cardio products is much larger and provides greater opportunity for growth. As a result we have focused our retail business product development efforts on the introduction of
new cardio products, including a line of Schwinn Fitness branded indoor bikes and ellipticals. We plan to
continue to invest in the development of cardio products for the retail business, anticipating that such investments will help us achieve greater market share.

We have implemented sales programs which provide discounts to our customers for ordering container sized shipments and/or placing orders early enough in the season to allow for efficient manufacturing by
our Asian suppliers. These sales programs are designed to reduce our shipping and handling costs, with much of the savings being passed on to our customers. Many of our retail customers are also eligible for other types of sales incentives,
including volume discounts and various forms of rebates or allowances, which primarily are intended to increase product availability, offset transportation costs and encourage marketing of our brands.

PRODUCT DESIGN AND INNOVATION

Innovation
is a vital part of our business, and we continue to expand and diversify our product offerings by leveraging our research and development capabilities. We constantly search for new technologies and innovations that will help us to grow our business,
either through higher sales or increased production efficiencies. To accomplish this objective, we seek out ideas and concepts both within our company and from outside inventors. We rely on financial and engineering models to assist us in assessing
the potential operational and economic impacts of adopting new technologies and innovations. If we determine third-party technology or innovation concepts meet certain technical and financial criteria, we may enter into a licensing arrangement to
utilize the technology or, in certain circumstances, purchase the technology for our own use. Our product design and engineering teams also invest considerable effort to improve product design and quality.

Our research and development expenses were approximately $5.2 million and $6.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

SEASONALITY

We expect our
sales to vary seasonally. Sales are typically strongest in the first and fourth quarters, followed by the third quarter, and are generally weakest in the second quarter. We believe that various factors, such as the broadcast of network season
finales and seasonal weather patterns, influence television viewers and cause our advertising on cable television stations to be less effective in the second quarter than in other periods. In addition, during the spring and summer months, consumers
tend to be involved in outdoor activities, including exercise, which impacts sales of indoor fitness equipment. This seasonality can have a significant effect on our inventory levels, working capital needs and resource utilization.

MANUFACTURING AND DISTRIBUTION

Manufacturing

All our products are produced by third party manufacturers,
substantially all of which are located in Asia. We monitor our suppliers ability to meet our product needs and participate in quality assurance activities to reduce the risk of marketing substandard products. Other than our contract with Land
America Health & Fitness Co., LTD. (Land America), which expires in December 2010, our third-party manufacturing contracts are terminable by either party on relatively short notice.

Distribution

Our warehousing and
distribution facilities are located in Portland, Oregon and Winnipeg, Manitoba. In our direct business, we strive to maintain inventory levels which will allow us to ship our products shortly after receiving a customers order. Because our
direct business products are manufactured in Asia, we have long merchandise replenishment lead times, for which we compensate by maintaining adequate levels of safety stock.

We manage our retail inventory levels to accommodate seasonal changes in anticipated demand. We generally maintain higher inventory levels at the ends of the third and fourth quarters, to satisfy consumer
demand in the fourth and first quarters of each year. Many of our retail customers place orders well in advance of peak periods of consumer demand to ensure they have an adequate supply for the anticipated selling season. If consumer demand exceeds
store forecasts, many of our retail customers will place additional orders during the season, provided the product can be delivered in a short period of time. Approximately one-third of our retail inventory replenishment orders are shipped by our
contract manufacturers directly to customer locations, typically in large containers. The use of these drop ships allows us to maintain lower levels of inventory, resulting in lower storage, handling, insurance and other carrying costs.
We also distribute our products to retail customers using various commercial truck lines. We use FedEx Corp. for the delivery of substantially all of our direct business products in the U.S. and Canada.

BACKLOG

Historically, backlog has not been
a significant factor in our business.

COMPETITION

The markets for all of our products are highly competitive. We believe the principal competitive factors affecting our business are quality, innovation, pricing and brand recognition. We believe we are
well-positioned to compete in markets in which we can take advantage of our strong brand names. Our competitors vary by business segment, as discussed below.

Direct

In our direct business, our products compete directly with those offered by
a large number of companies that market home fitness equipment. Our principal competitors in this segment are Fitness QuestandICON Health & Fitness. Other competitors in this segment include weight-loss companies, such as
Jenny Craig and NutriSystems, each of which offers alternative solutions to a fit and healthy lifestyle.

Retail

In our retail business, our products compete with those of other retail fitness equipment companies, such as Johnson Health TechandICON Health
& Fitness.

EMPLOYEES

As of January 31, 2010, we had approximately 640 employees, substantially all of which were full-time, and approximately 280 of which were employed in connection with our commercial business
discontinued operation. None of our employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements. We have not experienced a material interruption of our operations due to labor disputes.

SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

No individual customer accounted for 10 percent or more of our
consolidated net sales in the past two fiscal years.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Trademarks, patents and other forms of intellectual property are vital to the success of our business and an essential factor in maintaining our competitive
position in the health and fitness industry.

Trademarks

We own many trademarks including Nautilus, Bowflex, PowerRod, Revolution, Mobia, TreadClimber, Schwinn Fitness, SelectTech,
Trimline and Universal. The vast majority of our trademarks are either registered or protected by common law rights. We believe that having distinctive trademarks, which are readily
identifiable by consumers, is an important factor in creating a market for our products, creating a strong company identity and developing brand loyalty among our customers.

Each federally registered trademark is renewable indefinitely if the trademark is still in use at the time of renewal. We are not aware of any material claims of infringement or other challenges to our
trademark rights in our major markets.

Patents

We own a broad array of patents and patent rights, both issued and pending, covering our fitness equipment. These patents cover a variety
of technologies, some of which are utilized in the following products: TreadClimber; variable stride
ellipticals; selectorized weights; recumbent bicycles; and the Bowflex Revolution. Patent protection for these technologies extends as far as 2020, with none expiring prior to 2011. Expiration of
these and other patents could trigger the introduction of similar products by our competitors. Patent protection has ended for our rod-based home gyms.

Building our intellectual property portfolio is an important factor in maintaining our competitive position in the health and fitness equipment industry. We have followed a policy of filing applications
for U.S. and foreign patents on inventions, new designs and improvements that we deem valuable to our business. We protect our proprietary rights vigorously and take prompt, reasonable actions to prevent counterfeit reproductions or other
infringement on our intellectual property.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER REGULATORY MATTERS

Our operations are subject to various laws and regulations both domestically and abroad. In the United States, federal, state and local regulations impose
standards on our workplace and our relationship with the environment. For example, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and other federal agencies have the
authority to promulgate regulations which may impact our operations. In particular, we are subject to legislation placing restrictions on our generation, emission, treatment, storage and disposal of materials, substances and wastes. Such legislation
includes: the Toxic Substances Control Act; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; the Clean Air Act; the Clean Water Act; the Safe Drinking Water Act; and the Comprehensive Environmental Response and the Compensation and



7



---

##### Table of Contents

Liability Act (also known as Superfund). We are also subject to the requirements of the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Federal Trade Commission, in addition to regulations concerning
employee health and safety matters.

Our operations expose us to claims related to environmental matters. Although compliance with federal,
state, local and international environmental legislation has not had a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations in the past, there can be no assurance that material costs or liabilities will not be incurred in
connection with such environmental matters in the future.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-K, including Item 1 of Part I and Item 7 of Part II, contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include any statements related to our expectations regarding
future performance or conditions, including any statements regarding anticipated sales growth across markets, distribution channels, and product categories, expenses and gross margins, expense as a percentage of revenue, anticipated earnings, new
product introductions, manufacturing plans and activities, future capital expenditures, our turnaround plan, financing and working capital requirements and resources. These forward-looking statements, and others we make from time to time, are
subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements, including the risks described herein. We do not undertake any duty to update
forward-looking statements after the date they are made or to conform them to actual results or to changes in circumstances or expectations.

A continued decline in consumer spending likely would negatively affect our product revenues and earnings.

Success of each of
our products depends substantially on the amount of discretionary funds available to our consumers. Global credit and financial markets have experienced extreme disruptions in the recent past, including severely diminished liquidity and credit
availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, increases in unemployment rates and uncertainty about economic stability. There can be no assurance that there will not be further deterioration in these conditions. A
continued decline in general economic conditions could further depress consumer spending, especially spending for discretionary consumer products such as ours. Higher interest rates could increase monthly payments for consumer products financed
through one



8



---

##### Table of Contents

of our monthly payment plans or through other sources of consumer financing. These poor economic conditions could in turn lead to substantial further decreases in our net sales or have a material
adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition and cash flows.

We may need to raise additional financing if our financial
results do not improve.

We sustained significant operating losses during 2009 and 2008, and if we continue to experience significant
operating losses, we will need to obtain additional debt or equity financing to continue operating. There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise additional funds on favorable terms, if at all, or that any amount raised will be sufficient to
meet our cash requirements. If we are not able to raise additional needed capital, we would be forced to sharply curtail our operations.

Failure to successfully implement our turnaround strategies may adversely affect revenues and expenses.

To implement our
business strategy, we must effectively manage our turnaround in each of our business segments. We expect to continue to change various aspects of our business, enhance our operations, and attract, retain and manage qualified personnel. Our
turnaround efforts could place an increasing strain on management, financial, product design, marketing, manufacturing, distribution and other resources, and we could experience operating difficulties in association with our turnaround and
restructuring plans. As a result of these and other pressures, our turnaround strategies involve many risks and uncertainties that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

A significant decline in availability of media time or substantially higher advertising rates may hinder our ability to effectively market our products
and may reduce profitability.

We depend on television advertising to market certain of our products sold directly to consumers.
Consequently, a marked increase in the price we must pay for our preferred media time or a reduction in its availability may adversely impact our financial performance.

Our revenues could decline due to changes in credit markets and decisions made by credit providers.

Reductions in consumer lending and the availability of consumer credit could limit the number of customers with the financial means to purchase our products. In the past, we have partnered with financial service companies, including HSBC,
to assist our customers in obtaining financing to purchase our products. Our present agreement with HSBC helps certain customers obtain financing if they qualify for HSBCs private label Bowflex revolving credit card. We cannot be assured that
HSBC, or others, will continue to provide consumers with access to credit or that credit limits under such arrangements will not be reduced. Such restrictions or reductions in the availability of consumer credit could have a material adverse impact
on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Failure to collect accounts receivable from our customers could
adversely affect our ability to operate our business.

Our trade receivables reflect a large and diverse customer base, domestically and
internationally. Our trade receivables are generally unsecured and therefore collection is affected by the economic conditions in each of our principal markets. Collection of receivables due from customers outside the U.S. may also be negatively
impacted by the nature, and extent of our business presence in a particular country and any rights or protections afforded to our customers under a countrys legal system. We cannot predict, with certainty, future changes in the financial
stability of our customers or in the general economy. We periodically review the credit worthiness of our customers to help gauge collectability and increase our allowance for doubtful accounts when collection is at risk. However, our actual future
losses from uncollectible accounts may differ from our estimates. Our ability to collect the amounts due from our customers could be impacted by various factors including: a deterioration in the financial condition of a key customer, inability of
customers to obtain bank credit lines, a significant slow-down



9



---

##### Table of Contents

in the economy, our efforts to pursue collections, product quality matters or other customer disputes. If our estimates of uncollectible amounts are inaccurate or change significantly or we are
unable to collect amounts due from our customers, it could have a material adverse affect on our operating results, financial condition and cash flows.

If our contract manufacturers experience any delay, disruption or quality control problems in their operations, we could lose market share and revenues, and our reputation may be harmed.

We have outsourced the production of all of our products to third-party manufacturers. We rely on our contract manufacturers to procure
components and provide spare parts in support of our warranty and customer service obligations. We generally commit the manufacturing of each product platform to a single contract manufacturer.

Our reliance on contract manufacturers exposes us to the following risks over which we may have limited control:



| |  |  | Unexpected increases in manufacturing and repair costs;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Interruptions in shipments if our contract manufacturer is unable to complete production;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Inability to completely control the quality of finished products;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Inability to completely control delivery schedules;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Changes in our contract manufacturers business models or operations;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Potential increases in our negotiated product costs as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The impact of the global market and economic conditions on the financial stability of our contract manufacturers and their ability to operate without
requesting earlier payment terms or letters of credit;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Potential lack of adequate capacity to manufacture all or a part of the products we require; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Potential unauthorized reproduction of our products.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------

Our contract manufacturers primarily are located in Asia and may be subject to disruption by natural disasters, as well as political, social or economic instability. The temporary or permanent loss of the
services of any of our primary contract manufacturers could cause a significant disruption in our product supply chain and operations and delays in product shipments. In addition, other than our contract with Land America, which expires in December
2010, our third-party manufacturing contracts are terminable by either party on relatively short notice.

There is no assurance that we will
be able to maintain our current relationships with these parties or, if necessary, establish future arrangements with other third-party manufacturers on commercially reasonable terms. Further, we cannot assure that their manufacturing and quality
control processes will be maintained at a level sufficient to meet our inventory needs or prevent the inadvertent sale of substandard products.

Our revenues and profitability can fluctuate from period to period and are often difficult to predict due to factors beyond our control.

Our results of continuing operations in any particular period may not be indicative of results to be expected in future periods, and have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, subject to
periodic fluctuations arising from a number of factors, including:



| |  |  | The introduction and market acceptance of new products;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------

These trends and factors could harm our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows in any particular period.

Our operating expenses and portions of our costs of revenues are relatively fixed, and we may have limited ability to reduce expenses sufficiently in response to any revenue shortfalls.

Many of our operating expenses are relatively fixed. We may not be able to adjust our operating expenses or other costs sufficiently to adequately respond
to any revenue shortfalls. If we are unable to reduce operating expenses or other costs quickly in response to any revenue shortfall, it would negatively impact our operating results, financial condition and cash flows.

If we are unable to anticipate consumer preferences or to effectively develop, market and sell future products, our future revenues and earnings could be
adversely affected.

Our future success depends on our ability to develop, or acquire the rights to, and effectively produce, market, and
sell new products that create and/or respond to new and evolving consumer demands. Accordingly, our net sales and profitability may be harmed if we are unable to develop, or acquire the rights to new or different products that satisfy
consumers preferences. In addition, any new products that we market may not generate sufficient net sales to recoup their development, acquisition, production, marketing, selling and other costs.

A delay in getting foreign sourced products through customs in a timely manner could result in cancelled orders and unanticipated inventory accumulation.

Most of our imported products are subject to duties, tariffs or quotas that affect the cost and quantity of various types of goods
imported into the U.S. or our other markets. The countries in which our products are produced or sold may adjust or impose new quotas, duties, tariffs or other restrictions. Further, our business depends on our ability to source and distribute
products in a timely manner. As a result, we rely on the free flow of goods through open and operational ports worldwide. Labor disputes at various ports create significant risks for our business, particularly if these disputes result in work
slowdowns, lockouts, strikes or other disruptions during our peak importing seasons. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, potentially resulting in reduced revenues and earnings, cancelled orders by customers
and/or unanticipated inventory accumulation.

##### Table of Contents

Unpredictable events and circumstances relating to our international operations, including our use of
foreign manufacturers, could result in cancelled orders, unanticipated inventory accumulation, and reduced revenues and earnings.

A
portion of our revenue is derived from sales outside the U.S. International sales represented approximately 10% of our consolidated net sales from continuing operations in 2009. In addition, substantially all of our products are manufactured
outside of the U.S. Accordingly, our future results could be materially adversely affected by a variety of factors pertaining to international trade, including: changes in a specific countrys or regions political or economic
conditions; trade restrictions; import and export licensing requirements; changes in regulatory requirements; additional efforts to comply with a variety of foreign laws and regulations; and longer payment cycles in certain countries, thus requiring
us to finance customer purchases over a longer period than those made in the U.S. In addition, we rely on the performance of employees located in foreign countries. Our ability to control the actions of these employees may be limited by the laws and
regulations in effect in each country. Changes in any of the above factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows.

Failure or inability to protect our intellectual property could significantly harm our competitive position.

Protecting our intellectual property is an essential factor in maintaining our competitive position in the health and fitness industry. If we do not, or are unable to, adequately protect our intellectual
property, our sales and profitability may be adversely affected. We currently hold approximately 200 patents and trademarks and have approximately 40 patent and trademark applications pending in the United States. However, our efforts to protect our
proprietary rights may be inadequate, and applicable laws provide only limited protection.

Trademark infringement or other intellectual
property claims relating to our products could increase our costs.

Our industry is susceptible to litigation regarding trademark and
patent infringement and other intellectual property rights. We could become a plaintiff or defendant in trademark and patent infringement claims or claims of breach of license. The prosecution or defense of intellectual property litigation is both
costly and disruptive of the time and resources of our management, even if the claim or defense against us is without merit. We could also be required to pay substantial damages or settlement costs to resolve intellectual property litigation or
related matters.

Future impairments on intangible assets could negatively impact our operating results.

We had goodwill of $2.8 million and other intangible assets of $20.8 million at December 31, 2009. We recognized impairment charges of $5.9 million in
2009 for intangible assets related to continuing operations, and an impairment charge of $29.8 million in 2008 for goodwill of our continuing operations. Any future impairment charges, if significant, could materially and adversely affect our
reported operating results. A decline in revenue, a change in market conditions, a change in competitive products or technologies or a change in managements intentions to utilize our intangible assets may lead to further impairment charges.

Intense competition may have a negative impact on our net sales and operating results.

Our products are sold in highly competitive markets with limited barriers to entry. As a result, introduction of lower priced or more innovative products
could result in a significant decline in our net sales, operating results, financial condition and cash flows.

Inability to effectively
manage our distribution facilities may harm our business and financial results.

Our ability to meet customer expectations, manage
inventory, complete sales and achieve objectives for operating efficiencies depends on the proper operation of our existing distribution facilities and the timely

##### Table of Contents

performance of services by third parties, including those involved in shipping product to and from our distribution facilities. Our distribution facilities are located in Oregon in the United
States, and Manitoba in Canada.

Operations at our distribution facilities could be interrupted by disasters such as earthquakes or fires. We
maintain business interruption insurance, but it may not adequately protect us from the adverse effect that could be caused by significant disruptions in our distribution network.

Our or others failure to maintain information and communication systems could result in interruptions to our business.

Our business is increasingly reliant on information and communication technology, and a substantial portion of our revenues are generated with the support of information and communication systems. The
success of our direct business is heavily dependent on our ability to respond to customer sales inquiries and process sales transactions using our call center communication systems, internet websites and similar data monitoring and communication
systems provided and supported by third-parties. If such systems were to fail, or experience significant or lengthy interruptions in availability or service, our revenues could be materially affected. We also rely on information systems in all
stages of our production cycle, from design to distribution, and we use such systems as a method of communication between employees, as well as our customers. In addition, we use information systems to maintain our accounting records, assist in
collection and customer service efforts, and to forecast operating results and cash flows. System failures or service interruptions may occur as the result of a number of factors, including: computer viruses; hacking or other unlawful activities by
third parties; disasters; equipment, hardware or software failures; cable outages, extended power failures, or our inability or failure to properly protect, repair or maintain our communication and information systems. To mitigate the risk of
business interruption, we have in place a disaster recovery program that targets our most critical operational systems. If our disaster recovery system is ineffective (in whole or in part), or efforts conducted by us or third-parties to
prevent or respond to system interruptions in a timely manner are ineffective, our ability to conduct operations would be significantly affected. Any of the aforementioned factors could have a material adverse affect on our operating results,
financial condition and cash flows.

Currency exchange rate fluctuations could result in higher costs and reduced margins.

We have significant sales outside of the United States. As a result, we conduct transactions in various currencies which increase our exposure to
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar. Our international revenues and expenses generally are derived from sales and operations in non-U.S. currencies, and these revenues and expenses could be affected by
currency fluctuations. Currency exchange rate fluctuations could also result in higher costs for our products, or could disrupt the business of independent manufacturers that produce our products, by making their purchases of raw materials more
expensive and more difficult to finance. Therefore, our future financial results could be significantly affected by the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to the non-U.S. currencies in which we, our customers or our suppliers conduct business.

Our business is affected by seasonality which results in fluctuations in our operating results.

We experience moderate fluctuations in aggregate sales volume during the year. Sales are typically strongest in the first and fourth quarters, followed by
the third quarter, and are generally weakest in the second quarter. However, the mix of product sales may vary considerably from time to time as a result of changes in seasonal and geographic demand for particular types of fitness equipment. In
addition, our customers may cancel orders, change delivery schedules or change the mix of products ordered with minimal notice. As a result, we may not be able to accurately predict our quarterly sales. Accordingly, our results of operations are
likely to fluctuate significantly from period to period.

We may be adversely affected by the financial health of our customers.

We extend credit to our customers, generally without requiring collateral, based on our assessment of a customers financial circumstances. To assist in
the scheduling of production and the shipping of seasonal products, we offer customers financial incentives to place orders four to six months ahead of delivery. These advance orders may be cancelled, and the risk of cancellation may increase when
dealing with financially challenged customers struggling with economic uncertainty. In the past, some customers have experienced financial difficulties which in turn have had an adverse effect on our business. More recently, customers have been
cautious in placing orders as a result of weakness in the economy. A depressed global economy may continue to negatively affect the financial health of our customers and have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and
cash flows.

Government regulatory actions could disrupt our marketing efforts and product sales.

Various international and U.S. federal, state and local governmental authorities, including the Federal Trade Commission, Environmental Protection Agency,
and the Consumer Product Safety Commission, regulate our marketing efforts and the manufacturing of products. Our sales and profitability could be significantly harmed if any of these authorities commence a regulatory enforcement action that
interrupts our marketing or manufacturing efforts, results in a product recall or negative publicity, or requires changes in product design.

We are subject to periodic litigation, product liability risk and other regulatory proceedings which could result in unexpected expense of time and resources.

From time to time, we may be a defendant in lawsuits and regulatory actions relating to our business. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation and regulatory proceedings, we cannot accurately
predict the ultimate outcome of any such proceedings. An unfavorable outcome could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, any significant litigation in the future, regardless of
its merits, could divert managements attention from our operations and may result in substantial legal costs.

We also may not be able
to successfully acquire intellectual property rights, protect existing rights, or potentially prevent others from claiming that we have violated their proprietary rights when we launch new products. We could incur substantial costs in defending
against such claims even if they are without basis, and we could become subject to judgments or settlements requiring us to pay substantial damages, royalties and/or other sums.

We are subject to warranty claims for our products which could result in unexpected expense.

Many of our products carry limited warranties for defects in quality and workmanship. We may experience significant expense as the result of product quality issues, product recalls or product liability claims which may have a material
adverse effect on our business. We maintain a warranty reserve for estimated future warranty claims. However, the actual costs of servicing future warranty claims may exceed the reserve and have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, we remain contingently liable for product warranty obligations which have been transferred to buyers of our commercial business product lines, if the buyer is unable to fulfill such
obligations.

In order to be successful, we must attract, retain and motivate key employees, and failure to do so may have an adverse
impact on our business.

Our future success depends on our ability to attract and retain key executives, managers, product development
engineers, sales personnel and others. We face intense competition for such individuals worldwide. Not being able to attract or retain these employees may have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Our plan to divest the remaining portions of our commercial business may not be successful and may
involve substantial additional charges.

In September 2009, management committed to a plan for the complete divestiture
of our commercial business. In December 2009, we completed the sale of certain assets of our StairMaster
and Schwinn Fitness product lines and, in February 2010, we completed an agreement for the sale of certain
assets of our Nautilus commercial equipment product line. We may be unable to successfully divest the
remaining portions of our commercial business on favorable terms, or at all. The amount of estimated loss recorded in connection with the planned sale of the commercial business may be adjusted in future periods, depending on changes that may occur
in the underlying facts and circumstances, and these adjustments may be material. Additionally, we may incur material costs, fees, expenses and charges relating to our planned divestiture of the commercial business, including employee
termination severance payments and costs related to the termination of lease agreements and other contractual obligations. Our results of operations and liquidity may be negatively impacted by such charges or by a failure to successfully complete
the planned divestiture within a reasonable time period. We currently expect to incur additional costs related to our planned divestiture, including employee termination severance payments of approximately $1.6 million and termination charges
for leases and other commercial contract obligations of approximately $1.8 million, which are not reflected in our 2009 operating results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The estimated amounts of additional costs may be
adjusted in future periods, depending on changes that may occur in the underlying facts and circumstances, and the amount of adjustment may be material.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operation

Our Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation (the
MD&A) should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes, in Item 8.

OVERVIEW

Nautilus, Inc., a fitness products company headquartered in Vancouver, Washington, is committed to providing
innovative, quality solutions to help people achieve a fit and healthy lifestyle. Our principal business activities include designing, developing, sourcing and marketing high-quality cardiovascular and strength fitness products and related
accessories for consumer home use, primarily in the United States and Canada. Our products are sold under some of the most-recognized brand names in the fitness industry, including Nautilus, Bowflex, Universal and Schwinn Fitness.

We market our products through two business
segments: Direct and Retail, each representing a distinct marketing distribution channel. Our direct business offers products directly to consumers through direct advertising, catalogs and the Internet. Our retail business offers our products
through a network of independent retail companies located in the United States and Canada, as well as Internet-based merchants.

Economic and
market conditions have been, and continue to be, disruptive and volatile. These conditions, including reduced business and consumer confidence, disruptions in the residential housing market, materially reduced consumer credit availability for our
customers and increased unemployment, all of which have contributed to reductions in consumer spending, particularly on discretionary products such as our home fitness equipment.

During 2008, we implemented cost reduction efforts to adjust for the decline in revenue, and in early 2009 we announced plans to initiate additional cost reductions aimed at further reducing operating
costs and improving the overall alignment of spending and anticipated revenue. During the third quarter of 2009, in order to focus exclusively on the development of our direct and retail businesses, management committed to a plan for the complete
divestiture of our commercial business. Consequently, our commercial business has been classified as a discontinued operation. Managements actions to reduce costs in our continuing and discontinued operations and focus on the development of
our direct and retail businesses are summarized as follows:

During 2009:



| |  |  | We restructured our workforce and reduced the number of employees in our corporate headquarters and our manufacturing and distribution functions to
better match the requirements of our business;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We conducted a thorough review of our information technology costs to better align computer systems and support services to our restructured business
model, resulting in significant savings related to software purchases, maintenance agreements and licensing fees;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We terminated our lease for our corporate headquarters facility in Vancouver, Washington, and entered into a new lease for substantially less space and
substantially lower rent payments in the same building;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We terminated a third-party warehouse distribution service agreement for our U.S. service parts inventory, which now will be distributed from our
company facility; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We committed to a plan for the complete divestiture of our commercial business, and completed the sale of certain assets of our StairMaster and Schwinn Fitness commercial product lines. In February 2010, we completed an agreement for the sale of certain assets of our Nautilus commercial fitness product lines.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

During 2008:



| |  |  | We restructured our workforce to better match the requirements of our redefined business segment organization;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | We closed our Tulsa commercial manufacturing facility and transferred operations to third party manufacturers in Asia and our owned manufacturing
facility in Independence, Virginia;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We consolidated our U.S. distribution centers and aligned the products by segment to allow for more efficient product handling;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We ceased direct business sales through our Australian subsidiary and closed those operations;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We sold our apparel division, Dash America, Inc. d/b/a Pearl iZumi;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We closed our Canadian call center and consolidated our call center operations in Vancouver, Washington to achieve better economies of scale;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We terminated a number of marketing arrangements to better align our spending with our revised operating plans;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We reduced our revolving line of credit to a level better suited for our anticipated borrowing; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We exercised our right to terminate agreements to acquire a manufacturing operation located in China.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Substantially all of our revenues are generated from product sales. Our net sales for the year ended December 31, 2009, were $189.3 million, a decrease
of $94.4 million, or 33.3%, as compared to net sales of $283.7 million in the prior year. The decline in net sales primarily was due to a general decline in consumer spending on discretionary products and reduced availability of consumer financing.

Gross profit margin increased to 51.0% for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to 47.9% in the prior year, primarily due to
reduced distribution costs resulting from the consolidation of our distribution centers, a decrease in shipping costs arising from a change in our primary outbound freight carrier and a decrease in warranty costs.

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009 were $125.7 million, a decrease of $67.6 million, or 35.0%, as compared to operating expenses
of $193.3 million in the prior year. The decrease in operating expenses reflects the impact of managements efforts to better align spending with current and anticipated revenue levels through significant reductions in advertising expenses,
employment costs and other expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we incurred $14.2 million and $13.9 million, respectively, in expenses associated with our restructuring initiatives. Operating expenses for the year ended
December 31, 2009 include intangible asset impairment charges of $5.9 million. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 include a goodwill impairment charge of $29.8 million.

We reported an income tax benefit from continuing operations of $10.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to a benefit of $5.9
million in the prior year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the
consolidated financial statements. An accounting estimate is considered to be critical if it meets both of the following criteria: (i) the estimate requires assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate
is made, and (ii) different estimates reasonably could have been used, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period may have a material impact on the presentation of our financial condition, changes in
financial condition or results of operations. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed below.

##### Table of Contents

Revenue Recognition

Product sales and shipping revenues, net of promotional discounts, rebates and return allowances, are recorded when products are shipped and title passes to customers. Retail sales to customers are made
pursuant to a sales contract that provides for transfer of both title and risk of loss upon our delivery to the carrier.

We record taxes
collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis, excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recorded gross, meaning they are included in both revenue and cost of sales. Many of our
direct business customers finance their purchases through a third-party credit provider, for which we pay a commission or customer financing fee to the credit provider. We record sales for these transactions based on the sales prices charged to our
customers and record the commission or financing fee as a component of selling and marketing expense.

Revenue is recognized net of applicable
sales incentives, such as promotional discounts, rebates and return allowances. We estimate the revenue impact of our incentive programs based on the planned duration of the program and historical experience. If the amount of our sales incentives
can be reasonably estimated, we record the impact of such incentives at the later of the time we notify our customer of the sales incentive, or the time of the sale.

We estimate our liability for product returns based on historical experience and record the expected obligation as a reduction in revenue. If actual return costs differ from our estimates, the recorded
amount of the liability and corresponding revenue are adjusted.

Goodwill and Intangible Asset Valuation

We evaluate our indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill for potential impairment annually or when events or circumstances indicate their carrying
value may be impaired. Our judgments regarding potential impairment are based on a number of factors including: the timing and amount of anticipated cash flows; market conditions; relative levels of risk; the cost of capital; terminal values;
royalty rates; and the allocation of revenues, expenses and assets and liabilities to business segments. Each of these factors can significantly affect the value of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and, thereby, could have a
material adverse affect on our financial position and results of operations. Events could cause us to conclude that goodwill or other intangible assets are impaired, resulting in the recognition of an impairment charge.

In 2009, we recognized $5.9 million in impairment charges related to intangible assets used in our continuing operations. In 2008 we recognized a $29.8
million impairment charge on goodwill of our retail business. Impairment charges of $1.7 million and $1.1 million related to intangible assets of discontinued operations were recognized in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Accounts Receivable Valuation

We
evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable based on a combination of factors including: an aging of receivable balances, historical collection experience, our understanding of the current financial status of key customers and overall
economic conditions. We periodically review the credit worthiness of our customers to help gauge collectability and increase our allowance for doubtful accounts when collection is at risk. We believe that by analyzing historical trends and
monitoring potential collection problems, we have sufficient information to establish a reasonable estimate of the portion of our receivable balances that will not be collected. However, since we cannot predict, with certainty, future changes in the
financial stability of our customers or in the general economy, our actual future losses from uncollectible accounts may differ from our estimates. Our ability to collect the amounts due from our customers could be impacted by various factors
including: a deterioration in the financial condition of a key customer, inability of customers to obtain bank credit lines, a significant slow-down in the economy, our efforts to pursue collections, product quality matters or other customer
disputes. Even

##### Table of Contents

though portions of our accounts receivable are protected by a security interest in products held by customers, any of the factors noted above may affect our ability to collect all, or a portion
of, our receivable balances and could have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Inventory
Valuation

Our inventory is reported at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined based on the first-in, first-out method. We
establish provisions for excess, slow moving and obsolete inventory based on inventory levels, expected product life and forecasted sales demand. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventory values, we are required to make judgments regarding
the salability of our products, including an assessment of future demand compared with existing inventory levels, competitive factors, and changes in technology and product life cycles. A significant change in any of the aforementioned factors could
have a material impact on our financial position, results of operation and cash flows. It is also possible that an increase in our inventory provisions may be required in the future if there is a significant decline in demand for our products and we
do not adjust our purchases from manufacturers accordingly.

Product Warranty Obligations

Our products carry limited defined warranties for defects in materials or workmanship. Our product warranties generally obligate us to pay for the cost of
replacement parts, cost of shipping the parts to our customers and, in certain instances, service labor costs. At the time of sale, we record a liability for the estimated costs of fulfilling future warranty claims. The estimated warranty costs are
recorded as a component of cost of sales, based on historical warranty claim experience and available product quality data. If necessary, we adjust our liability for specific warranty matters when they become known and are reasonably estimable. Our
estimates of warranty expenses are based on significant judgment, and the frequency and cost of warranty claims are subject to variation. Warranty expenses are affected by the performance of new products, significant manufacturing or design defects
not discovered until after the product is delivered to the customer, product failure rates and variances in expected repair costs. If warranty costs differ from our previous estimates, or if circumstances change such that the assumptions inherent in
our previous estimates are no longer valid, we adjust our warranty reserve amount accordingly. Changes in the aforementioned factors or other warranty-related assumptions could have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial
position and cash flows.

Stock-Based Compensation

We recognize stock-based compensation on a straight-line basis over the applicable vesting period, based on the grant-date fair value of our awards. We estimate the fair value of our stock options using
the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model and determine the fair value of our restricted stock awards based on the closing market price on the day preceding the grant.

Estimating the fair value of our stock-based awards involves inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. The valuation of our stock options requires us to make assumptions regarding
the expected term of our options, expected future volatility in the market price of our common stock, future risk-free interest rates and future dividends, if any, expected to be approved by our Board of Directors.

We estimate future forfeitures, at the time of grant and in subsequent periods, based on historical experience, and recognize compensation expense only for
those awards that are expected to vest. We reevaluate our estimate of forfeitures each quarter and, if applicable, recognize a cumulative effect adjustment in the period of the change if the revised estimate of forfeitures differs significantly from
the previous estimate.

To the extent a stock-based award is subject to performance conditions, the amount of expense we record in a given
period, if any, may fluctuate depending upon our assessment of the probability of achieving the performance targets.

##### Table of Contents

Our stock-based compensation expense may also change over time, as we review and adjust our compensation
practices.

If factors, such as those discussed above, were to change and we used different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense
in the future could be materially different from that reported in previous periods.

Litigation and Loss Contingencies

From time to time, we may be involved in claims, lawsuits and other proceedings. Such matters involve uncertainty as to the eventual
outcomes and any losses we may ultimately realize when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. We record expenses for litigation and loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can
be reasonably estimated. We estimate the probability of such losses based on the advice of internal and external counsel, outcomes from similar litigation, status of the lawsuits (including settlement initiatives), legislative developments and other
factors. Due to the numerous variables associated with these judgments and assumptions, both the precision and reliability of the resulting estimates of the related loss contingencies are subject to substantial uncertainties. We regularly monitor
our estimated exposure to these contingencies and, as additional information becomes known, may change our estimates accordingly. A significant change in our estimates, or an outcome that differs from the assumptions incorporated in our estimates,
may have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Income Tax Provisions

We account for income taxes based on the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates that are expected to be in
effect when the temporary differences are expected to be included, as income or expense, in the applicable tax return. The effect of a change in tax rates on our deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the period of the enactment. A tax
benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation.

Significant judgments are required in determining tax provisions, evaluating tax positions and, when necessary, establishing or making
adjustments to our valuation allowance. Such judgments require us to interpret existing tax law and other published guidance as applied to our circumstances. To the extent that it is more likely than not that all or some portion of deferred tax
assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance must be established for that amount. If our financial results or other relevant facts change, thereby impacting the likelihood of realizing the tax benefit of an uncertain tax position, significant
judgment would be applied in determining the effect of the change on our valuation allowance.

Risks and Uncertainties

Our results of operations may vary significantly from period-to-period. Our revenues will fluctuate due to the seasonality of our
industry; customer buying patterns; product innovation; the nature and level of competition for health and fitness products; our ability to manufacture or procure products to meet customer demand; the level of spending on, and effectiveness of, our
media and advertising programs; and our ability to attract new customers and renew existing sales relationships. In addition, our revenues are highly susceptible to economic factors, including, among other things, the overall condition of the U.S.
economy and economies of other countries where we market our products and the availability of consumer credit, both in the U.S. and abroad. Our profit margins may vary in response to the aforementioned factors and our ability to manage product
costs. Profit margins may also be affected by fluctuations in the costs or availability of materials used to manufacture our products, product warranty costs, higher or lower fuel prices, and changes in costs of other distribution or
manufacturing-related

services. Our operating profits or losses may also be affected by the relative success of strategies we employ to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our organization. Historically, our
operating expenses have been influenced by media costs to produce and air advertisements, facility costs, operating costs of our information and communications systems, costs to develop and maintain our Internet websites, bad debt costs and costs
related to attracting and retaining key personnel. In addition, our operating expenses have been impacted by asset impairment charges, restructuring charges and other significant unusual or infrequent expenses.

As a result of the above and other factors, our period-to-period operating results may not be indicative of future performance. You should not place undue
reliance on our operating results and should consider our prospects in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties typically encountered by us and other companies, both within and outside our industry. We may not be able to successfully address
these risks and difficulties and, consequently, we cannot assure you of any future growth or profitability. For more information, see our discussion of Risk Factors located at Part I, Item 1A.

Direct business

Net sales of our direct business were $123.0 million in 2009, a decrease of $62.7 million, or 33.7%, as compared to 2008. The comparative decrease in net sales was primarily due to a substantial decrease
in customer credit approvals in 2009 through HSBC, our third-party financing company, as well as a reduction in advertising media spending, compared to the prior year. Economic weakness was cited by HSBC as the reason for the lower approval rates.
Additionally, in 2008 we had a secondary financing program available which was not available for direct customers in 2009.

Gross profit
margin of our direct business was 61.4% in 2009, compared to 60.0% in 2008, an increase of 140 basis points. The comparative increase in gross profit margin primarily was attributable to a decrease in outbound freight expenses and a decrease in
warranty costs, each of which represented approximately 230 basis points of gross margin improvement, partially offset by reduced supplier rebates due to lower-volume purchases in 2009, as compared to 2008, representing approximately 180 basis
points.

Retail business

Net sales of our retail business were $63.6 million in 2009, a decrease of $30.9 million, or 32.7%, as compared to 2008. We believe the comparative decrease in retail net sales primarily was due to the reluctance by retailers to replenish
inventories, in response to reduced consumer demand, as well as our tighter credit controls in the challenging economic environment. In addition, net sales declined in 2009 due to managements decision to reduce the number of rod-based home gym
products offered in our retail business, so as not to conflict with our direct business, as well as a reduction of product placement with certain customers, partially offset by new business growth.

Gross profit margin of our retail business was 30.4% in 2009, compared to 24.5% in 2008, an increase of 590 basis points. The comparative increase in gross
profit margin primarily was attributable to a decrease in warranty costs, representing approximately 280 basis points, as well as lower sales of clearance and end-of-life products in 2009, as compared to the prior year.

Operating Expenses

Operating
expenses in 2009 were $125.7 million, a decrease of $67.6 million, or 35.0%, as compared to operating expenses of $193.3 million in 2008.

Selling and Marketing

Selling and marketing expenses were $75.8 million in 2009, a decrease of $31.8 million, or 29.5%,
as compared to the prior year. In response to the tighter credit approval environment, we reduced our advertising expenditures to better align with our expected revenue levels. Advertising expenses of our direct business in 2009 decreased by
approximately $18.7 million, or 27.9%, as compared to the prior year. Our selling and marketing expenses reflect our improved advertising efficiencies, including better alignment of our expenditures with anticipated revenue, optimized advertising
placement and improved creative content. In addition, third-party financing commission fees decreased by approximately $5.8 million, primarily due to lower credit approval rates and reduced use of financing promotions. Other selling and marketing
expenses declined by approximately $7.7 million, compared to the prior year, primarily due to the impact of cost savings initiatives.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses were $24.6 million in 2009, a decrease of $10.7 million,
or 30.4%, as compared to the prior year. The decrease in general and administrative expenses primarily was due to a reduction in employment costs, facilities costs, legal expenses and various other expenses in connection with our cost-savings
initiatives. General and administrative expenses in 2009 also decreased due to the resolution of legal

matters, which were settled for $1.0 million less than the amount previously estimated and accrued in 2008. In addition, general and administrative expenses in 2008 included $2.0 million for
legal and contract settlement costs; $1.1 million for the writeoff of deferred financing costs from amending our loan agreement; and $0.6 million for reimbursement obligations related to a shareholder action.

Research and Development

Research
and development expenses were $5.2 million in 2009, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 21.1%, as compared to the prior year, primarily due to lower employee costs and reduced third-party intellectual property costs.

Restructuring

Our restructuring
expenses primarily relate to the reorganization or termination of business activities and initiatives and include: contract termination fees, costs associated with abandoned purchase agreements, and severance.

Restructuring expenses in 2009 were $14.2 million, and included: $8.0 million in impairment charges for abandoned leasehold improvements in space we are no
longer using at our Vancouver, Washington headquarters facility; $2.8 million in lease termination costs and accrued lease obligations associated with the reduction of leased space at our headquarters facility; $1.8 million in charges due to our
abandonment of information technology software; a $0.9 million fee to terminate a third-party service agreement for distribution of repair and replacement parts in the U.S.; and employee termination severance costs of $0.6 million.

Restructuring expenses in 2008 were $13.9 million, and included: $8.0 million in charges related to the termination of an agreement to acquire a
manufacturing operation in China; $4.8 million in employee termination benefits and other employee costs; $0.6 million in other contract termination costs; and $0.5 million for the disposal of unused creative media assets related to a change in our
marketing strategies.

Intangible asset impairments

In 2009, in light of changes in long-term product strategies, we recognized impairment charges of $5.9 million for intangible assets of our retail business segment.

Goodwill Impairment

In 2008, in
connection with our annual impairment review, we determined that goodwill was impaired and recognized a $29.8 million non-cash impairment charge.

Interest Income

Interest income was $0.1 million in 2009, compared to $0.2 million in 2008, a decrease of $0.1 million,
primarily due to a reduction in interest earned on income tax refunds.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $0.2 million in 2009, compared to $1.8 million in 2008, a decrease of $1.6 million, primarily due to lower average short-term borrowings
in 2009.

Other Income (Expense)

Other expense was $0.2 million in 2009, compared to income of $0.5 million in 2008, primarily due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

Income Tax Benefit

The provision for income tax benefit from continuing operations was $10.9 million in 2009, compared to a tax benefit from continuing operations of $5.9 million in 2008. Our effective tax benefit rate in
2009 was 36.9%, compared to a benefit rate of 10.1% in the prior year. The change in our effective tax rate primarily reflects the impact of 2009 legislation allowing us to carry back net operating losses for a period of five years. As a result, in
January 2010 we received an income tax refund of $12.1 million in connection with a net operating loss carryback. In 2008, we provided a valuation reserve against deferred income tax assets as we determined it was more likely than not that such
assets would not be realized.

Discontinued Operations

On September 25, 2009 management committed to a plan for the complete divestiture of our commercial business. The results of our commercial business have been classified as discontinued operations in
all periods presented. Loss from our commercial business discontinued operation, net of income taxes, was $34.3 million in 2009, including an estimated after-tax disposal loss of $9.0 million. Loss from our commercial business discontinued
operation, net of income taxes, was $40.4 million in 2008.

We currently expect to incur additional costs related to our planned divestiture,
including employee termination severance payments of approximately $1.8 million and termination charges for leases and other commercial contract obligations of approximately $2.2 million, which charges will be included in results of discontinued
operations in the respective periods when such liabilities are incurred. The estimated amounts of additional costs may be adjusted in future periods, depending on changes that may occur in the underlying facts and circumstances, and the amount of
adjustment may be material.

Our former fitness apparel business (Pearl iZumi) was sold in 2008 and reported as a discontinued
operation. We reported an after-tax loss related to Pearl iZumi of $0.4 million in 2009, compared to after-tax income of $2.4 million in 2008.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In November 2009, the President signed into U.S. federal law a provision allowing taxpayers to
carry back an applicable net operating loss for a period of up to five years. We elected to carry-back our 2008 net operating loss and, as a result, we received a U.S. income tax refund of approximately $12.1 million in January 2010. On
March 8, 2010 we entered into a new bank borrowing agreement, providing for a $15.0 million revolving secured credit line. Based on the amount of cash currently on hand and expected future cash flows from operations, management believes that
sufficient funds will be available to meet our expected cash needs for at least the next twelve months.

Operating activities provided cash of
$14.8 million in 2009, compared to $5.6 million in the prior year. Cash from operating activities in 2009 was primarily provided by the collection of accounts receivable, reductions in inventory levels and the receipt of a $10.7 million U.S. federal
income tax refund. Cash provided by operating activities in 2008 was primarily related to the collection of accounts receivable.

Net cash
provided by investing activities was $4.7 million in 2009, compared to $62.4 million in the prior year. Cash provided by investing activities in 2009 included $7.4 million from the sale of assets of our discontinued operations, $4.0 million from the
release of Pearl iZumi escrow funds and $0.2 million in proceeds from the sale of equipment. Cash used in investing activities in 2009 included $4.9 million for restricted cash accounts, as collateral for our outstanding letters of credit, and $2.0
million for capital expenditures. We do not expect capital expenditures to increase substantially in 2010. Cash provided by investing activities in 2008 included $58.4 million in proceeds from the sale of Pearl iZumi, a $5.0 million refund of an
escrow deposit, $2.4 million in payments on a note receivable and $1.4 million in proceeds from the sale of equipment. Capital expenditures in 2008 were $4.8 million.

Net cash used in financing activities was $18.0 million in 2009, compared to $69.1 million in the prior
year. Cash used in financing activities included $17.9 million to repay all of our bank borrowings in 2009, compared to a $61.2 million reduction in bank borrowings in 2008. The 2008 reduction in bank borrowings primarily was funded with proceeds
received from the sale of our former fitness apparel business. In 2008, we paid $5.3 million for the repurchase of Nautilus common stock and paid approximately $2.0 million in debt issuance costs associated with a former financing agreement.

Financing Arrangement

During 2009 and 2008, we had a Loan and Security Agreement (the Loan Agreement) with Bank of America N.A., which provided a revolving secured credit line to fund our letters of credit and for
working capital needs and other general business purposes. On December 29, 2009, pursuant to the sale of certain assets of our Stairmaster and Schwinn Fitness
commercial product lines, we satisfied all outstanding obligations under the Loan Agreement and it was terminated.

On December 29, 2009,
we entered into a Credit Agreement (the Letter of Credit Agreement) with Bank of America, N.A, (BofA). The Letter of Credit Agreement provides us with up to $6.0 million in standby letters of credit, and expires on
December 31, 2010 (Expiration Date). During this period, BofA will issue standby letters of credit with a maximum maturity not to exceed more than 365 days beyond the Expiration Date. Letters of credit are secured by a cash collateral account
held by BofA in an amount not less than 105% of the amount of the outstanding letters of credit, plus $0.3 million.

As of December 31,
2009, we had $4.3 million in standby letters of credit. The balance in our cash collateral account, reported as restricted cash in our consolidated balance sheet, was $4.9 million as of December 31, 2009.

On March 8, 2010, we entered into the New Loan Agreement with Bank of the West, providing for a $15.0 million revolving secured credit line. The New
Loan Agreement is available for working capital, standby letters of credit and general corporate purposes through September 2012, assuming we satisfy certain terms and conditions at the time borrowings are requested.

The interest rate on any future borrowings under the New Loan Agreement will be based on the banks prime rate or LIBOR, based on our financial
condition at the time we elect to borrow. The New Loan Agreement includes a fee for the unused portion of the credit facility, which fee will vary depending on our borrowing base availability.

Borrowings under the New Loan Agreement are collateralized by a lien on substantially all of our assets. The New Loan Agreement contains customary
covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants relating to minimum current ratio, minimum liquidity, minimum EBITDA and limitations on capital expenditures, mergers and acquisitions, indebtedness, liens, dispositions, dividends, and
investments. The New Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default.

Non-Cancelable Contractual Obligations

Our operating cash flows include the effect of certain non-cancelable, contractual obligations. A summary of such obligations as of December 31, 2009,
including those related to our discontinued operations, is as follows:

|(1) | Our purchase obligations are comprised of inventory purchase commitments. Because our inventory primarily is sourced from Asia, we have long lead times and therefore
need to secure factory capacity from our vendors in advance.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Due to uncertainty with respect to the timing of future cash flows
associated with our unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2009, we are unable to make reasonably reliable estimates of the timing of any cash settlements with the respective taxing authorities. Therefore, approximately $4.1 million of
unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, have been excluded from the contractual table above. For further information, see Note 11, Income Taxes, in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Issues Arising from China Sales Operation

In 2008, we recognized a $3.8 million charge, included in discontinued operations, due to uncertainties regarding access to, and future recovery of, certain assets of our China sales operation. In 2009, we recovered a portion of these
assets and, as a result of this and other changes in circumstances, we reduced the previously accrued loss amount by $2.3 million. At December 31, 2009 we have an allowance of $1.5 million due to uncertainties regarding the future recovery
of our China trade receivables.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At times, we become involved in third-party lease and financing arrangements which assist our customers in obtaining funds to purchase our products. While most of these financings are without recourse, in
certain cases we may offer a guarantee or other recourse provisions. Our financing partner reviews consumer credit information in evaluating the risk of default prior to extending credit to our customers. We rely on the quality of our partners
review and our own risk assessment in determining whether to proceed with a recourse transaction. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the maximum contingent liability under all recourse provisions was approximately $1.4 million and $1.6 million,
respectively. Refer to Note 1 of our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of this arrangement.

In the ordinary course of
business, we enter into agreements that require us to indemnify counterparties against third-party claims. These may include: agreements with vendors and suppliers, under which we may indemnify them against claims arising from our use of their
products or services; agreements with customers, under which we may indemnify them against claims arising from their use or sale of our products; real estate and equipment leases, under which we may indemnify lessors against third party claims
relating to the use of their property; agreements with licensees or licensors, under which we may indemnify the licensee or licensor against claims arising from their use of our intellectual property or our use of their intellectual property; and
agreements with parties to debt arrangements, under which we may indemnify them against claims relating to their participation in the transactions.

The nature and terms of these indemnifications vary from contract to contract, and generally a maximum obligation is not stated. We hold insurance policies that mitigate potential losses arising from certain types of

indemnifications. Because we are unable to estimate our potential obligation, and because management does not expect these obligations to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows, no liabilities are recorded at December 31, 2009.

Seasonality

We expect our sales from fitness equipment products to vary seasonally. Sales are typically strongest in the first and fourth quarters, and
are generally weakest in the second quarter. We believe the broadcast of national network season finales and seasonal weather patterns influence television viewership and cause our television commercials on national cable television to be less
effective in the second quarter than in other periods of the year. In addition, during the spring and summer months, consumers tend to be involved in outdoor activities, including exercise, which impacts sales of fitness equipment used indoors. This
seasonality can have a significant affect on our operating results, inventory levels and working capital needs.

NEW ACCOUNTING
PRONOUNCEMENTS

No new accounting pronouncements had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Nautilus, Inc.

Vancouver, Washington

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Nautilus, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2009 and
2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and comprehensive loss, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Nautilus Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NAUTILUS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and
Business  Nautilus is a leading designer, developer and marketer of fitness products sold under such well-known brand names as Nautilus, Bowflex, Schwinn Fitness and Universal. As used herein, the term Nautilus or Company refers to Nautilus, Inc. and subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. The
Companys goal is to develop and market fitness equipment and related products to help people enjoy healthier lives. Nautilus was founded in 1986 and incorporated in the state of Washington in 1993. The Companys headquarters are located
in Vancouver, Washington.

We market our products through two business segments: Direct and Retail, each representing a distinct marketing
distribution channel. Our direct business offers products directly to consumers through direct advertising, catalogs and the Internet. Our retail business offers our products through a network of independent retail companies located in the United
States and Canada, as well as Internet-based merchants. Our commercial business, formerly an operating segment and reported as a discontinued operation beginning in 2009, offered products to health clubs, schools, hospitals and other organizations.

On April 18, 2008, the Company completed the sale of its former fitness apparel business, DashAmerica, Inc. d/b/a Pearl Izumi
(Pearl Izumi). Accordingly, results of operations associated with the fitness apparel business have been presented in the consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

On September 25, 2009 the Company committed to a plan for the complete divestiture of its commercial business. Accordingly, results of operations and
certain assets associated with the commercial business have been presented in the consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Basis of presentation  The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(U.S. GAAP) and relate to Nautilus, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned, directly or indirectly. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Year-end The Companys fiscal year ends on December 31.

Reclassifications  The Company has reclassified certain 2008 amounts related to the cash flows of its fitness apparel division discontinued operation, as permitted by accounting
guidance, which previously were reported separately, to conform to the current period presentation. Net cash flows were not impacted by this reclassification.

The results of the commercial business, including related costs previously included in restructuring expense, have been reclassified as discontinued operations in the Companys financial statements
for all periods presented.

Accrued warranty obligations, previously included in accrued liabilities, have been reclassified as a separate
component of current liabilities in the Companys consolidated balance sheets.

Use of estimates  The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the
financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentrations of risk Financial instruments
that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash held in bank accounts that exceed federally insured limits and trade receivables.

##### Table of Contents

Trade receivables are generally unsecured and therefore collection is affected by the economic conditions in
each of our principal markets. Collection of receivables due from customers outside the U.S. may also be negatively impacted by the nature and extent of our business presence in a particular country and any rights or protections afforded to our
customers under a countrys legal system.

Nautilus relies on third-party contract manufacturers in Asia for substantially all of its
products and for certain product engineering support. Business operations could be disrupted by natural disasters, difficulties in transporting our products from foreign suppliers, as well as political, social or economic instability in the
countries where our contract manufacturers or their vendors and customers conduct business. While any of the Companys manufacturing arrangements could be replaced over time, the temporary loss of the services of any primary contract
manufacturer could cause a significant disruption in operations and delay product shipments.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash All highly liquid investments with remaining maturities of three months or less at purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash consists of bank accounts pledged as collateral for outstanding letters of credit,
which are long-term.

Inventories  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined based on
the first-in, first-out method. Any abnormal amounts of freight, handling costs and spoilage are recognized as current period charges. The Company establishes inventory allowances for excess, slow-moving and obsolete inventory based on inventory
levels, expected product life cycles and forecasted sales demand. Inventories are written down to market value, based on historical demand, competitive factors, changes in technology and product lifecycles.

Property, plant and equipment  Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Improvements or
betterments which add new functionality or significantly extend the life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost of assets retired, or otherwise disposed of, and the related
accumulated depreciation, are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal. Gains and losses resulting from asset sales and dispositions are recognized in our consolidated statement of operations in the period in which assets are disposed.

Depreciation is recognized, using the straight-line method, over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or, in the case of
leasehold improvements, the lease term including renewal periods if the Company expects to exercise its renewal options. Depreciation on furniture, equipment and information systems is determined based on estimated useful lives, which generally
range from three to five years.

Goodwill and intangible assets  Goodwill consists of the excess of acquisition costs over
the fair values of net assets acquired in business combinations. Indefinite-life intangible assets consist of acquired trademarks. Goodwill and other indefinite-life intangible assets are stated at cost and are not amortized; instead, they are
tested for impairment at least annually.

Nautilus reviews goodwill and other indefinite-life intangible assets for impairment in the fourth
quarter of each year, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. With respect to goodwill, the Company compares the carrying value of the related reporting unit to an estimate of the
reporting units fair value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, the estimated fair values of all of the reporting units assets and liabilities are determined to establish the amount of the
impairment, if any. For further information regarding goodwill, refer to Note 7, Goodwill. For further information regarding other intangible assets, refer to Note 8, Other Intangible Assets.

In 2009, in connection with its annual impairment review, Nautilus determined that an indefinite-life trademark was impaired and recognized an impairment
charge of $2.3 million. In 2008, in connection with its annual impairment review, Nautilus determined that goodwill of its retail segment was impaired and recognized an impairment charge of $29.8 million.

Finite-lived intangible assets, primarily acquired patents and patent rights, are stated at cost, net of
accumulated amortization. The Company recognizes amortization expense for its finite-lived intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives, which generally range from one to 16 years.

Impairment of long-lived assets  Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, and finite-lived intangible assets,
including patents and patent rights, are evaluated for impairment when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired. When such an event or condition occurs, Nautilus estimates the future undiscounted cash flows to be derived
from the use and eventual disposition of the asset to determine whether a potential impairment exists. If the carrying value exceeds estimated future undiscounted cash flows, the Company records impairment expense to reduce the carrying value of the
asset to its estimated fair value.

In connection with changes in long-term product development plans resulting from strategic decisions made
by management in the fourth quarter, Nautilus recognized an impairment charge of $3.6 million in 2009 related to certain patent rights which the Company previously expected to be utilized in its retail products.

Revenue recognition  Product sales and shipping revenues, net of promotional discounts, rebates and return allowances, are recorded when
products are shipped and title passes to customers. Retail sales to customers are made pursuant to a sales contract that provides for transfer of both title and risk of loss upon our delivery to the carrier.

Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are recorded on a net basis, and excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling fees
billed to customers are recorded gross and included in both revenue and cost of sales. Many direct business customers finance their purchases through a third-party credit provider, for which Nautilus pays a commission or financing fee to the credit
provider. Revenue for these transactions is recognized based on the sales prices charged to the customer and the commission or financing fee is included in selling and marketing expense.

Revenue is recognized net of applicable sales incentives, such as promotional discounts, rebates and return allowances. Nautilus estimates the revenue impact of incentive programs, based on the planned
duration of the program and historical experience. If the amount of sales incentives is reasonably estimable, the impact of such incentives is recorded at the later of the time the customer is notified of the sales incentive or the time of the sale.

Nautilus estimates liability for product returns based on historical experience and records the expected obligation as a reduction in
revenue. If actual return costs differ from previous estimates, the amount of the liability and corresponding revenue are adjusted in the period such costs occur.

Cost of salesCost of sales is primarily comprised of: inventory purchase costs; royalties; salaries, wages and other employee-related costs; occupancy charges,
including depreciation of warehouse and distribution facility improvements and equipment; transportation expenses; costs of product warranties and related services; distribution information systems costs; and allocated expenses for shared
administrative functions.

Product warranty obligations  The Companys products carry limited defined warranties for
defects in materials or workmanship, which require Nautilus to pay for replacement parts, costs for shipping the parts to customers and, in certain instances, service labor costs. Nautilus records a liability, at the time of sale, for the estimated
costs of responding to future warranty claims. Estimated warranty costs are recorded as a component of cost of sales, based on historical warranty claim experience and available product quality data. If necessary, Nautilus adjusts its liability for
specific warranty matters when they become known and are reasonably estimable. Warranty expenses are affected by the performance of new products, significant manufacturing or design defects not discovered until after the product is delivered to the
customer, product failure rates, and higher or lower than expected repair costs. If warranty costs differ from previous estimates, or if circumstances change such that the assumptions inherent in our previous estimates are no longer valid, the
amount of warranty reserve is adjusted accordingly.

Warranty reserves at December 31, 2009 and 2008 include $1.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively, in estimated long-term obligations.

Litigation and Loss Contingencies  From time to time, the Company may be involved in various claims, lawsuits and other proceedings.
Such litigation involves uncertainty as to the eventual outcomes and losses which may be realized when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Nautilus records expenses for litigation and loss contingencies when it is probable that a
liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company estimates the probability of such losses based on the advice of internal and external counsel, the outcomes from similar litigation, the status of the
lawsuits (including settlement initiatives), legislative developments and other factors. Due to the numerous variables associated with these judgments and assumptions, both the precision and reliability of the resulting estimates of the related loss
contingencies are subject to substantial uncertainties. The Company regularly monitors its estimated exposure to these contingencies and, as additional information becomes known, may change its estimates accordingly.

Advertising and promotion  Nautilus expenses its advertising and promotion costs as incurred. Production costs of television advertising
commercials are recorded as prepaid expenses until the initial broadcast, at which time such costs are expensed. Advertising and promotion costs are included in selling and marketing expenses.

Total advertising and promotion expenses were $48.3 million and $67.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Prepaid
advertising and promotion costs totaled $0.9 million at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Research and
development  Internal research and development costs, which primarily consist of salaries and wages, employee benefits, expenditures for materials, and fees to use licensed technologies, are expensed as incurred. Third party research
and development costs for products under development or being researched, if any, are expensed as the contracted work is performed.

Income taxes  Nautilus accounts for income taxes based on the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are expected
to be included, as income or expense, in the applicable tax return. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the period of the enactment. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred income
tax assets if we determine it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.

The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an
uncertain tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation.

Foreign currency translation  Nautilus translates the accounts of its foreign
subsidiaries into U.S. dollars, using the current rate method, whereby: revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated at weighted-average exchange rates during the year; and assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the
balance sheet date. Translation gains and losses are reported in the Companys consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders equity.

Gains and losses arising from foreign currency transactions, including transactions between the Company and its foreign subsidiaries, are recorded as a
component of other income (expense) in our consolidated statements of operations.

Fair value of financial instruments 
Financial instruments include cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables, short-term borrowings, accounts payable, letters of credit and guarantees entered into in the ordinary course of our business. The carrying amounts reflected
in our consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value due to their market rates of interest and/or short-term maturities.

Stock-based compensation  Nautilus recognizes stock-based compensation, on a straight-line basis, over the applicable vesting period, based on the grant-date fair value of the award. To the extent a stock-based award is
subject to performance conditions, the amount of expense recorded in a given period, if any, reflects our assessment of the probability of achieving the performance targets.

Fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model; fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the closing market price on the day preceding the grant.
Assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-option grants are as follows:



|                        |  |      |   |  |      |  
|----------------------- |  | ---- | - |  | ---- | -

|Dividend yield          |  | 0.0  | % |  | 0.0  | %
|Risk-free interest rate |  | 2.5  | % |  | 3.2  | %
|Expected life (years)   |  | 4.75 |   |  | 4.59 |  
|Expected volatility     |  | 88   | % |  | 52   | %

Expected dividend yield
is based on our current expectation that no dividend payments will be made in future periods.

Risk-free interest rate is based on the
implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues with a remaining term approximating the expected life of the options.

Expected
lifeis calculated using the simplified method, equal to the sum of the vesting term and the original contractual term, divided by two.

Expected volatility is determined based on the daily historical volatility of the Companys common stock over a period commensurate with the expected life of the stock option.

The Company estimates future forfeitures, at the time of grant and in subsequent periods, based on historical turnover rates, previous forfeiture experience
and changes in the business or key personnel that would suggest future forfeitures may differ from historical data. The Company recognizes compensation expense for only those stock options and stock-based awards that are expected to vest. The
Company reevaluates estimated forfeitures each quarter and, if applicable, recognizes a cumulative effect adjustment in the period of the change if the revised estimate of the impact of forfeitures differs significantly from the previous estimate.

Related party transactions  The Companys largest shareholder, Sherborne Investors LP (Sherborne)
undertook a successful action to replace four of the Companys directors with Sherborne nominees in a December 2007 special meeting of shareholders. In May 2008, shareholders approved the reimbursement of up to $0.6 million of expenses incurred
by Sherborne in connection with the shareholder action. Payment requires the

##### Table of Contents

approval of the disinterested members of the Companys Board and is not anticipated until some time after the Company returns to profitability. The obligation to reimburse Sherbornes
expenses is included as a long-term liability in the Companys consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2009 and 2008.

In
February 2009, the disinterested members of the Companys Board of Directors approved a separate agreement with Sherborne Investors Management (Sherborne Investors) under which the Company is obligated to reimburse Sherborne
Investors, $20,000 per month, for the use of Sherbornes New York office space and administrative, information technology and communications services to support the Companys Chief Executive Officer. In 2009, Nautilus paid Sherborne
Investors $220,000 in reimbursements under this agreement.

New accounting pronouncements  No new accounting
pronouncements had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(2) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Discontinued operations consist of the Companys
commercial business and its former fitness apparel business.

Commercial Business

In light of continuing operating losses in its commercial business and in order to focus exclusively on management of its direct and retail consumer
businesses, on September 25, 2009 the Company committed to a plan for the complete divestiture of its commercial business segment. As a result of this action, the Company reported its commercial business as a discontinued operation, which
qualified for held-for-sale accounting treatment, in the third quarter of 2009. The results of the commercial business have been reclassified as discontinued operations in the Companys financial statements for all periods presented.

In 2009, in light of continuing declines in commercial real property values and changes in managements expectations regarding revenue,
the Company tested the long-lived assets of its commercial business segment for impairment. As a result, the Company recognized pre-tax impairment charges in the third quarter of 2009 related to real property and other intangible assets of $1.4
million and $1.6 million, respectively. In addition, the Company recognized an estimated pre-tax disposal loss of $18.3 million in the third quarter of 2009 in connection with its planned sale of the commercial business.

Subsequently, in the fourth quarter of 2009, management determined that the Company might realize greater value by selling its
commercial business in multiple asset groups involving several buyers, rather than as a single disposal group as originally was planned. In the quarter ended December 31, 2009 the Company completed the sale of its StairMaster and Schwinn Fitness commercial product lines and recorded an $8.8 million adjustment to reduce the estimated pre-tax disposal loss related to the commercial business.

Following is the adjustment to previously reported amount of estimated pre-tax disposal loss, reflecting managements decision in the
fourth quarter of 2009 to dispose of the business in multiple asset groups involving several buyers, rather than as a single disposal group as originally was planned:

anticipated cash proceeds, net of sale transaction costs. The estimated loss amount may be adjusted in future periods, depending on changes that may occur in the underlying facts and
circumstances and finalization of the related sale transactions, and the amount of the adjustment may be material.

Currently, the Company expects to incur additional cash charges related to its planned divestiture, including estimated
employee termination severance payments of approximately $1.6 million and estimated termination charges for leases and other commercial contract obligations of approximately $1.8 million, which are not reflected in 2009 operating results because
such liabilities were not incurred as of year-end. The estimated amounts of additional costs may be adjusted in future periods, depending on changes that may occur in the underlying facts and circumstances, and the amount of adjustment may be
material.

Cash flows of the commercial business after completion of the sale transactions may include settlements of then outstanding
accounts receivable, trade payables and contractual obligations, settlements of sales agreement contingencies and receipts of passive royalties, all of which, according to accounting guidance, are not considered to be direct cash flows of the
disposed segment.

In 2008, the Company recognized a $3.8 million charge, included in discontinued operations, due to uncertainties regarding
access to, and future recovery of, certain assets of its China sales operation. In 2009, the Company recovered a portion of these assets and, as a result of this and other changes in circumstances, reduced the previously accrued loss amount by
$2.3 million. At December 31, 2009 the Company had an allowance of $1.5 million due to uncertainties regarding the future recovery of China trade receivables.

of the purchase agreement. The remaining escrow deposit balance of $2.0 million was released to the Company in October 2009.

RESTRUCTURING

During 2008, Nautilus implemented a number of initiatives to reduce operating costs and reorganize its operations, including
measures to restructure its workforce and terminate an agreement pursuant to which it was to acquire a manufacturing operation in China. In 2009, the Company announced additional plans aimed at further reducing operating costs and improving the
overall alignment of spending with anticipated revenue. The 2009 plan impacted all functions through reductions in personnel and other initiatives, including the abandonment of certain information technology software, the termination of certain

##### Table of Contents

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded inventory valuation allowances of $0.7 million and
$6.7 million, respectively, related to excess parts and finished goods inventories. The reduction in inventory valuation allowances primarily results from the reclassification of certain inventories to assets held-for-sale at December 31, 2009.

Depreciation expense was $7.1 million and $9.8 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

On June 30, 2009, the Company terminated the lease for its world headquarters facility located in Vancouver, Washington and entered into a new lease
agreement to occupy substantially less space in the same building. As a result of the downsizing, the Company abandoned certain leasehold improvements and recorded a related charge of $8.0 million in 2009, included as a component of restructuring
expense (see Note 3  Restructuring).

(7) GOODWILL

Nautilus applies a fair value-based impairment test to evaluate the carrying value of goodwill annually, at October 31, and more frequently if certain events or circumstances indicate that an
impairment loss may have been incurred. The analysis of potential impairment of goodwill is a two-step process. The first step requires us to calculate an estimate of the fair value of the applicable reporting units. Reporting units
are defined as operating segments or one level below an operating segment when that component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that
component. The Company has determined the reporting units relating to continuing operations are its direct and retail business segments.

Our estimates of reporting unit fair values are generally based on an analysis of discounted cash flows for the reporting unit and, when appropriate, an analysis of comparable market data. If under step one, the estimated fair value of the
reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If the reporting units carrying amount is greater than the estimated fair value, then a second step must be completed to measure the amount of impairment, if any.

The second step, if necessary, involves the allocation of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to all of the identifiable assets
and liabilities of the unit (including any unrecorded intangible assets). Any remaining, or unallocated, amounts reflect the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill. To the extent the estimated implied fair value of the goodwill is
less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference.

##### Table of Contents

The Company tested goodwill for impairment during both the third and fourth quarters of 2009, and no
impairment was indicated. In determining the estimated future cash flows, current and future levels of income were considered as well as business trends and market conditions. In 2008, the Company recognized a $29.8 million impairment charge
related to goodwill of its retail reporting unit. No goodwill impairment charges were recognized prior to 2008.

In 2009, in light of various changes in long-term product strategies, the Company tested other intangible assets for
impairment and recognized impairment charges of $5.9 million for intangible assets of its retail business segment.

Amortization expense for
intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $2.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets is expected to be approximately $2.1 million in each year from 2010 through 2013 and
$2.0 million in 2014, with the remaining $1.5 million amortized over the six year period from 2015 through 2020.

(10) BORROWINGS

During 2009 and 2008, the Company partly relied on its Loan and Security Agreement (the Loan Agreement) with Bank of America N.A. (BofA) to meet its ongoing cash needs,
particularly during seasonal periods of reduced cash flow. The Loan Agreement provided the Company with a revolving secured credit line to fund the Companys letters of credit, working capital needs and other business purposes. On
December 29, 2009, pursuant to the sale of certain assets of its Stairmaster and Schwinn Fitness product lines, the Company satisfied all outstanding obligations under the Loan Agreement and it was
terminated.

On December 29, 2009, the Company entered into a Letter of Credit Agreement (the Letter of Credit Agreement)
with BofA. The Letter of Credit Agreement provides up to $6.0 million in standby letters of credit, and expires on December 31, 2010 (Expiration Date). During this agreement period, BofA will issue standby letters of credit, with a
maximum maturity not to exceed 365 days beyond the Expiration Date. Letters of credit are secured by a cash collateral account held by BofA in an amount not less than 105% of the amount of the outstanding letters of credit, plus $0.3 million.

At December 31, 2009 the Company had $4.4 million in standby letters of credit, collateralized by $4.9 million in restricted cash, which
is reported as such in the Companys consolidated balance sheet. There was no restricted cash requirement under the Loan Agreement in 2008. At December 31, 2008, the Company had $17.9 million in outstanding borrowings and $6.7 million in
standby letters of credit. The weighted-average interest rate on the Companys outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2008 was 4.0%.

On
March 8, 2010 the Company entered into a new loan agreement (the New Loan Agreement) with Bank of the West, providing for a $15.0 million revolving secured credit line. The New Loan Agreement is available for working capital,
standby letters of credit and general corporate purposes through September 2012, assuming Nautilus satisfies certain terms and conditions at the time borrowings are requested.

The interest rate on any future borrowings under the New Loan Agreement will be based on the banks prime rate or LIBOR, based on our financial condition at the time Nautilus elects to borrow. The
New Loan Agreement includes a fee for the unused portion of the credit facility, which fee will vary depending on the Companys borrowing base availability.

Borrowings under the New Loan Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the Companys assets. The New Loan Agreement contains customary covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants
relating to minimum current ratio, minimum liquidity, minimum EBITDA and limitations on capital expenditures, mergers and acquisitions, indebtedness, liens, dispositions, dividends, and investments. The New Loan Agreement also contains customary
events of default.

The comparative increase in our effective income tax benefit rate primarily is due to the partial release of valuation
allowance, resulting from the enactment of a new law in the fourth quarter of 2009. The effective tax benefit rate for discontinued operations of 0.3% in 2009 differs from the statutory rate due to the recognition of a valuation allowance against
deferred tax assets. Nautilus must periodically evaluate the potential realization of its deferred income tax assets and, if necessary, record a valuation allowance to reduce the net carrying value of such assets to the amount expected to be
realized. In 2008, Nautilus concluded that cumulative taxable losses in recent years indicated a full valuation allowance against its deferred income tax assets was required. If and when a review of objective evidence indicates that some or all of
the Companys valuation allowance is no longer appropriate, release of the valuation allowance would be recognized as an income tax benefit to continuing operations in the period in which such assessment is made. The amount of valuation
allowance offsetting the Companys deferred income tax assets was $53.7 million and $40.5 million as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

In November 2009, the President signed into U.S. federal law a provision to allow taxpayers to carry back an applicable net operating loss for up to five years. Nautilus elected to carry back a portion of
its 2008 net operating loss and a portion of the Companys valuation allowance was released. A corresponding income tax benefit of $12.5 million was included in results of continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2009 and Nautilus
received a $12.1 million refund of U.S. federal income taxes in the first quarter of 2010.

Nautilus has net operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards in U.S. federal, state and non-U.S. jurisdictions. At December 31, 2009, U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards were $45.1 million, which were fully offset by a valuation allowance and are available to offset future taxable
income, if any, through 2030. The Companys net operating loss carryforwards in state jurisdictions are fully offset by a valuation allowance, and will expire between 2013 and 2030, if not utilized. In addition, Nautilus has $11.3 million of
U.S. federal capital loss carryforwards, which were fully offset by a valuation allowance and expire in 2013, if not utilized.

At December 31, 2009, Nautilus has $23.0 million of net operating loss carryforwards in non-U.S.
jurisdictions, including $10.2 million, $6.4 million, $3.6 million and $2.8 million related to its subsidiaries in Germany, Switzerland, China and Italy, respectively. As of December 31, 2009, the Companys non-U.S. net operating loss
carryforwards were fully offset by a valuation allowance. The net operating losses for Switzerland, China and Italy expire between 2013 and 2017. Net operating loss carryforwards for Germany may be used indefinitely.

The timing and manner in which the Company is permitted to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards may be limited by Internal Revenue Code
Section 382, Limitation on Net Operating Loss Carry-forwards and Certain Built-in-Losses Following Ownership Change. At December 31, 2009, the Company had approximately $45.1 million in U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards,
and an undetermined amount of income tax credits and state net operating loss carry forwards, which are potentially subject to the Section 382 limitation.

Under accounting guidance, an uncertain tax position represents the Companys expected treatment of a tax position taken in a filed tax return, or planned to be taken in a future tax return, that has
not been reflected in measuring income tax expense for financial reporting purposes. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits from uncertain tax positions (excluding the impact of penalties and interest)
is as follows:

Unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the Companys effective tax rate.

The Company recognizes tax-related interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2009, the Company recognized a
cumulative liability for interest and penalties of $0.9 million. As of December 31, 2008, the Company recognized a cumulative liability for interests and penalties of $0.6 million.

The Companys U.S. federal income tax returns for 2003 through 2009 are open to review by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. The Companys state income tax returns for 2003 through 2009 are open
to review, depending on the respective statute of limitation in each state. In addition, the Company files income tax returns in numerous non-U.S. jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitation.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company believes it is reasonably likely that, within the next 12 months, $0.2 million of previously unrecognized tax
benefits will be recognized, primarily as reductions in income tax expense, as statutes of limitation expire.

shares for $5.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company does not intend to repurchase any additional shares at this time.

2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan

In
2005, Nautilus shareholders approved the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2005 Plan) to enhance the Companys ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel and align the long-term interests of participants with those of
the shareholders. The 2005 Plan, which is administered by the Companys Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (Compensation Committee), authorizes the Company to grant various types of stock-based awards including: stock
options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units and performance stock grants. Stock options granted under the 2005 Plan shall not have an exercise price less than the fair market value of the Companys common shares on the
date of the grant. The exercise price of an option or stock appreciation right may not be reduced without shareholder approval. Stock options generally vest over four years of continuous service, commencing on the date of grant. Stock options
granted after the adoption of the 2005 Plan have a seven year contractual term. Stock options granted under the preceding plan expire after ten years.

Upon its adoption, there were approximately 4.0 million shares available for issuance under the 2005 Plan. The number of shares available for issuance is increased by any shares of common stock which were previously reserved for
issuance under the Companys preceding stock option plan, and were not subject to grant on June 6, 2005, or as to which the stock based compensation award is forfeited on or after June 6, 2005. The number of shares available for
issuance is reduced by (i) two shares for each share delivered in settlement of any stock appreciation rights, for each share of restricted stock, and for each stock unit or performance unit award, and (ii) one share for each share
delivered in settlement of a stock option award. In no event shall more than 1.0 million aggregate shares of common stock subject to stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or performance unit awards be granted to any one
participant in any one year under the 2005 Plan. At December 31, 2009, 4.6 million shares remained available for future grant under the 2005 Plan.

##### Table of Contents

Aggregate intrinsic value in the above table represents the aggregate amount, for all options, by which
closing share prices exceed the exercise price of the stock options. This value will fluctuate in the future based on the fair market value of our common stock.

Stock option expense was $0.9 million and $4.6 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively, included in general and administrative expense. During 2008, the Company was contractually obligated to accelerate
vesting of certain stock options upon the termination of former Company officers and recognized $1.0 million in related expense. These options subsequently expired unexercised.

The weighted average grant-date fair values of stock options granted during 2009 and 2008 were $1.03 and $1.91, respectively. As of December 31, 2009, the unamortized compensation expense for
unvested stock options totaled approximately $1.5 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.

Following is a summary of stock options outstanding at December 31, 2009:

Restricted Stock Awards

In 2007, the Company granted 297,000 shares of restricted stock, which vested over two years, to members of its management team as a means to retain key employees while the Company moved forward with its
restructuring activities. A summary of the Companys restricted stock award activity is as follows:

Restricted stock compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $0.3 million and
$0.2 million, respectively.

Performance Stock Units

In December 2005, the Company granted 125,000 performance unit awards to key members of its executive team. The performance unit awards were to vest if the Company met earnings targets set by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The fair value of the performance units was based on the closing market

price of the Companys common stock on the date preceding the grant and was to be recognized over the estimated requisite service period based on the number of performance unit awards
ultimately expected to vest. Compensation expense was not recognized for the performance units during 2009 and 2008 as management concluded it was unlikely the performance targets that trigger vesting would be met.

A summary of the Companys performance stock unit activity is as follows:

The Company receives income tax deductions as a result of the exercise
of certain stock options and the vesting of restricted stock and performance stock units.

(13) LOSS PER SHARE

Loss per share is presented on both a basic and diluted basis. Basic loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the calculations of diluted loss per share, the basic weighted average number
of shares is increased by the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock awards determined using the treasury stock method.

The
following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share as reported in the Companys statements of operations:

##### Table of Contents

In 2009 and 2008, there were 1.4 million and 2.2 million shares, respectively, issuable upon
exercise of stock options, restricted stock and performance units that were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

(14) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

The Company
adopted a 401(k) plan, the Nautilus, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (401(k) Plan), in 1999 covering substantially all regular employees over the age of 18. Each participant may contribute up to 75% of eligible compensation during any calendar
year, subject to certain limitations. Subject to the approval of the Companys Board of Directors, the 401(k) Plan provides for Company matching contributions of 100% of the first 1% of eligible earnings contributed by the employee, and an
additional 50% match for earnings contributed over 1% and up to 6%. Matching contributions vest at 25% after the first year of service, and are fully vested after the second year. On April 19, 2009, the Company suspended matching
contributions. On April 18, 2009, all participating employees and all participating employees terminated between July 24, 2008 and April 18, 2009 became fully vested in their matching company contributions. Companys
contributions to the 401(k) Plan were $0.3 million and $1.2 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

(15) SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has two reportable segments  Direct and Retail. The Companys commercial business discontinued operation is not a reportable segment. Contribution is the measure of profit or loss
used by the Companys chief operating decision maker, and is defined as net sales, less product costs and direct expenses. Direct expenses include employment costs, selling and marketing costs, general and administrative expenses and research
and development costs directly related to segment operations. Segment assets are those directly assigned to an operating segments operations, primarily accounts receivable, inventories and intangible assets. Unallocated assets primarily
include shared information technology infrastructure, distribution centers, corporate headquarters, prepaids, deferred taxes and other assets. Capital expenditures directly attributable to the Direct and Retail segments were not significant in 2009
or 2008.

(16) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Leases

The Company leases property and equipment under non-cancellable
operating leases which, in the aggregate, extend through 2016. Many of these leases contain renewal options and provide for rent escalations and payment of real estate taxes, maintenance, insurance and certain other operating expenses of the
properties. Rent expense under all operating leases was $4.5 million and $5.9 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

At December 31,
2009, future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases are as follows:



|                       |  |   |

|Minimum lease payments |  | $ | 20,298
|                       |  |   |       

Guarantees, Commitments and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had approximately $4.3 million and $6.7 million, respectively, in standby letters of
credit with vendors. The standby letters of credit have expiration dates through September 2011.

The Company has long lead times for
inventory purchases and, therefore, must secure factory capacity from its vendors in advance. At December 31, 2009, the Company had approximately $18.0 million in non-cancellable market-based purchase obligations, all of which were for
inventory purchases expected to be received in 2010.

At times, the Company becomes involved in third-party lease and financing arrangements
which assist its customers in obtaining funds to purchase its products. While most of these financings are without recourse, in certain cases the Company may offer a guarantee or other recourse provisions. The Companys third-party financing
company reviews consumer credit information in evaluating the risk of default prior to extending credit to customers. The Company relies on the quality of its third-party financing companys review and its own risk assessment in determining
whether to proceed with a recourse transaction. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the maximum contingent liability under all recourse provisions was approximately $1.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into agreements that require it to indemnify counterparties against third-party claims. These may
include: agreements with vendors and suppliers, under which the Company may indemnify them against claims arising from use of their products or services; agreements with customers, under which the Company may indemnify them against claims arising
from their use or sale of the Companys products; real estate and equipment leases, under which the Company may indemnify lessors against third-party claims relating to the use of their property; agreements with licensees or licensors, under
which the Company may indemnify the licensee or licensor against claims arising from their use of the Companys intellectual property or the Companys use of their intellectual property; and agreements with parties to debt arrangements,
under which the Company may indemnify them against claims relating to their participation in the transactions.

The nature and terms of these
indemnifications vary from contract to contract, and generally a maximum obligation is not stated. The Company holds insurance policies that mitigate potential losses arising from certain

types of indemnifications. Management does not deem these obligations to be significant to our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and no related liabilities are
recorded at December 31, 2009.

Issues Arising from China Sales Operation

In 2008, the Company recognized a $3.8 million charge, included in discontinued operations, due to uncertainties regarding access to, and future recovery of,
certain assets of its China sales operation. In 2009, the Company recovered a portion of these assets and, as a result of this and other changes in circumstances, reduced the previously accrued loss amount by $2.3 million. At December 31, 2009
the Company had an allowance of $1.5 million due to uncertainties regarding the future recovery of China trade receivables.

Legal
Matters

The Company is party to various legal proceedings arising from normal business activities. In addition, the Companys tax
filings are subject to audit by authorities in the jurisdictions where it conducts business, which may result in assessments of additional taxes. Management believes it has adequately provided for obligations that would result from these legal and
tax proceedings where it is probable it will pay some amounts and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. In some cases, however, it is too early to predict a final outcome. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not
have a material effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(17) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In November 2009, the President signed into U.S. federal law a provision allowing taxpayers to carry back applicable net operating losses
for a period of up to five years. This new law allowed Nautilus to carry-back a portion of its 2008 net operating loss to prior years in which the Company had paid federal taxes and, as a result, we received a U.S. income tax refund of approximately
$12.1 million in January 2010.

On February 19, 2010, the Company completed an agreement for the sale of certain
assets of its Nautilus strength equipment product lines. The buyer also acquired rights to certain patents,
technologies and other intellectual property, assumed certain outstanding warranty obligations related to the Companys North American commercial products and entered into a short-term lease of its Independence, Virginia manufacturing and
warehousing facilities with an option to purchase such facilities.

On March 8, 2010, the Company entered into the New Loan Agreement
with Bank of the West, providing for a $15.0 million revolving secured credit line. The New Loan Agreement is available for working capital, standby letters of credit and general corporate purposes through September 2012, assuming Nautilus satisfies
certain terms and conditions at the time borrowings are requested.

In 2009, restructuring charges were $14.2 million, and included: $8.0 million in impairment charges of
abandoned leasehold improvements related to the reorganization and consolidation of our Vancouver, Washington headquarters facility; $2.8 million in lease termination costs and accrued lease obligations associated with the reduction of leased space

deferred financing costs related to the termination of our bank agreement and $0.2 million in legal and contract settlement costs, partially offset by a benefit for legal matters which were settled in 2009 for $1.0 million less than the Company
previously had estimated in 2008.

In 2008, restructuring charges were $14.0 million, and included: $8.0 million in charges related to the

Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

MANAGEMENT REPORT ON
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of December 31, 2009, we conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in 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 a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial
officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of December 31, 2009 that
our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Managements Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in
Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. This rule defines internal control over financial reporting as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the companys chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that:



| |  |  | Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
Company;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP,
and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Companys assets that
could have a material effect on the financial statements.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

Managements Assessment

Nautilus management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control  Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, management
concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the companys registered public accounting
firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that
permit the Company to provide only managements report in this annual report.

Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2009.

Item 9B. Other Information

Given the timing of the event, the following information is included in this Form 10-K pursuant to Item 1.01 of Form 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement in lieu of filing a Form
8-K.

On March 8, 2010 we entered into a new loan agreement (the New Loan Agreement) with Bank of the West, providing for a $15.0
million revolving secured credit line. The New Loan Agreement is available for working capital, standby letters of credit and general corporate purposes through September 2012, assuming we satisfy certain terms and conditions at the time borrowings
are requested.

The interest rate on any future borrowings under the New Loan Agreement will be based on the banks prime rate or LIBOR,
based on our financial condition at the time we elect to borrow. The New Loan Agreement includes a fee for the unused portion of the credit facility, which fee will vary depending on our borrowing base availability. Borrowings under the New Loan
Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of our assets pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement and certain other agreements related to security in our intellectual property assets. The New Loan Agreement contains customary covenants,
including, but not limited to, covenants relating to minimum current ratio, minimum liquidity, minimum EBITDA and limitations on capital expenditures, mergers and acquisitions, indebtedness, liens, dispositions, dividends, and investments. The New
Loan Agreement includes customary events of default.

The above is only a summary of the New Loan Agreement and is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the full text of the New Loan Agreement included filed as Exhibit 10.30 to this Form 10-K and to the Security Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.31 to this Form 10-K.
