The Company [Abstract]

The Company

Note 1 – The Company

Amerigon Incorporated, doing business as Gentherm, designs, develops, manufactures and markets proprietary technology electronic components and systems for sale to car and truck original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”). Subject to shareholder approval, Amerigon Incorporated intends to change its name to Gentherm Incorporated to better reflect the Company’s global reach and capabilities in thermal management applications. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Gentherm”, “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” used herein refer to Amerigon Incorporated. The term “historical Gentherm” used herein excludes W.E.T. Automotive Systems AG (“W.E.T.”), a majority-owned subsidiary of Gentherm. One of the Company’s primary automotive seat comfort products is the Climate Control Seat™ (“CCS™”), which provides year-round comfort by providing both heating and cooling to seat occupants. The Company has shipped approximately 9,691,000 units of its CCS product through June 30, 2012.

The Company is engaged in a program to improve the efficiency of our advanced thermoelectric device (“TED”) technologies and to develop, market and distribute new products based on this technology. Included in this initiative are the development and testing of new materials that show increased thermoelectric efficiency.

W.E.T.’s primary product categories include automotive seat comfort systems and specialized automotive cable systems. The automotive seat comfort systems category includes automotive seat heaters, climate comfort systems (similar to Gentherm’s climate controlled seat technology) for automotive seats, automotive steering wheel heater systems and integrated electronic components. The specialized automotive cable systems category includes ready-made wire harnesses and related wiring products.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date that the consolidated condensed financial statements were issued. No events have taken place that meet the definition of a subsequent event that requires adjustment to the disclosure in this filing.

Basis of Presentation and New Accounting Pronouncements

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and New Accounting Pronouncements

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Operating results for the three and six months period ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012. It is suggested that theses condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11 which amends Topic 210 (Balance Sheet). ASU No. 2011-11 is intended to enhance the disclosure requirements for offsetting (netting) assets and liabilities and the effect or potential effect on an entity’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial and derivative instruments. The amendments in ASU No. 2011-11 include quantitative disclosure requirements to be presented in tabular format. The tabular disclosure components are as follows:

the gross amounts of those recognized assets and those recognized liabilities,

the amounts offset in order to determine the net amounts presented in the statement of financial position,

the net amounts presented in the statement of financial position,

the amounts subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement, if applicable, and

the net amount after deducting the amounts in (d) from the amounts in (c).

ASU No. 2011-11 is to be applied retrospectively upon adoption and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. While the adoption of ASU No. 2011-11 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated condensed financial statements, it could expand our disclosures around certain financial and derivative instruments.

Earnings per Share [Abstract]

Earnings per Share

Note 3 –Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of stock outstanding.

The Company’s diluted earnings per common share give effect to all potential shares of Common Stock outstanding during a period that are not anti-dilutive. In computing the diluted earnings per share, the treasury stock and if converted methods are used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the conversion of Common Stock equivalents. The following summarizes the amounts included in the dilutive shares as disclosed on the face of the consolidated condensed statements of operations:


	Three Months				Six Months
	Ended June 30,				Ended June 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Weighted average number of shares for calculation of basic EPS – Common Stock		29,567,545		22,208,454		27,023,219		22,146,231
Impact of stock options outstanding under the 1997 and 2006 Stock Option Plans		535,918		—		617,704		—

Weighted average number of shares for calculation of diluted EPS		30,103,463		23,208,454		27,640,923		22,146,231

The accompanying table represents Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of certain stock options, the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and potential dividends paid in common stock that have been excluded from the diluted shares calculation because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

Note 4 – Segment Reporting

Segment information is used by management for making operating decisions and assessing the performance of the Company. Management evaluates the performance of its segments based primarily on operating income.

The Company’s reportable segments are as follows:

•

Climate Control Seats (CCS) – variable temperature seat climate control system designed to improve the temperature comfort of automobile passengers. This segment also includes the heated and cooled cup holder and heated and cooled mattress divisions.

•

Advanced Technology – a division engaged in a research and development effort to improve the efficiency of thermoelectric devices and to develop, market and distribute products based on this new technology.

•

W.E.T. Automotive AG (W.E.T.) –W.E.T. is being evaluated currently as an individual segment until such time as Gentherm is able to fully evaluate and implement its future integration plans and strategy.

The tables below present segment information about the reported product revenues and operating income of the Company for the three months and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. With the exception of goodwill, asset information by segment is not reported since the Company does not manage assets at a segment level at this time. Goodwill as of June 30, 2012 and 2011 pertained entirely to our W.E.T. segment.

Debt [Abstract]

Debt

Note 7 – Debt

The Company has two outstanding credit agreements with a syndicate of banks led by Bank of America; the US Bank of America credit facility and the W.E.T. Bank of America credit facility. The US Bank of America credit facility consists of the US Term Note and Europe Term Note. These notes are subject to quarterly principal payments, with total principal amortization of 10% of the original principal amount in the first year and amortization of 12.5%, 15%, 17.5% and 20% of the original principal amount during years two, three, four and five, respectively with all remaining amounts owing under each term facility due and payable in full at the term loan maturity date. The W.E.T. Bank of America credit facility consists of the W.E.T. Term Note, which is subject to quarterly principal payments totaling 20% annually. Principal outstanding under both the US Bank of America credit facility and W.E.T. Bank of America credit facility will be due and payable in full on March 30, 2016. Interest is payable at least quarterly. The Company has the option to elect interest rates based on either a Eurocurrency (LIBOR or EUIBOR) rate (“Eurocurrency Rate Loans”) (0.20% – 1.10% at June 30, 2012) or a base rate (“Base Rate Loans”) plus a margin (“Applicable Rate”) which varies based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the Company, as defined by the US and W.E.T. Bank of America credit agreements. The base rate is equal to the highest of the Federal Funds Rate (0.09% at June 30, 2012) plus 0.5%, Bank of America’s prime rate (3.25% at June 30, 2012), or a one month Eurocurrency rate plus 1.0%. The Applicable Rate for the current period is 3.0% for Eurocurrency Rate Loans and 2.0% for Base Rate Loans.

On March 30, 2012, the Company entered into the fourth amendment (the “Amendment”) to the US Bank of America credit facility. The amendment removed a requirement that previously obligated Gentherm to make prepayments on its outstanding indebtedness equal to the net proceeds received from the sale of Gentherm common stock in excess of the future obligations owed to the holders of Gentherm’s Series C 8% convertible preferred stock. The amendment permits Gentherm to retain any such excess amounts for general corporate purposes.

On May 16, 2012, W.E.T. sold all remaining shares of its treasury stock to current shareholders. In accordance with the terms of the W.E.T. Bank of America credit facility, net proceeds from the sale of treasury shares, including approximately $6,353 paid by Gentherm, were used to pay down the outstanding indebtedness on the W.E.T. term note. W.E.T. made a payment of $8,267 on the euro denominated tranche of the W.E.T. term note.

The following table summarizes the Company’s debt at June 30, 2012 and at December 31, 2011.


	June 30,2012						December 31, 2011
	Interest Rate			Principal Balance			Principal Balance

The Company must maintain certain financial ratios including a minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and a maximum Leverage Ratio as defined by the Bank of America credit agreement.

As of June 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all terms as outlined in the credit agreement for each of the US Bank of America credit facility and the W.E.T. Bank of America credit facility.

Derivative Financial Instruments [Abstract]

Derivative Financial Instruments

Note 8 – Derivative Financial Instruments

We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, short term interest rates and price fluctuations of certain material commodities such as copper. Foreign currency exchange risks are attributable to sales to foreign customers not denominated in the seller’s functional currency, foreign plant operations, intercompany indebtedness and purchases from foreign suppliers and include exposures to the European Euro, Japanese Yen, Canadian Dollar, Hungarian Forint, Korean Won and Mexican Peso. The Company regularly enters into derivative contracts with the objective of managing its financial and operational exposure arising from this risk by offsetting gains and losses on the underlying exposures with gains and losses on the financial instruments used to hedge them. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Our hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge, and hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions both at the inception of a hedge and on an ongoing basis to be designated for hedge accounting treatment. We record the ineffective portion of hedging instruments, if any, to other income (expense) in the consolidated condensed statements of operations.

The Company uses a market approach to value derivative instruments, analyzing observable benchmark rates at commonly quoted intervals for the instrument’s full term. Information related to the recurring fair value measurement of derivative instruments, including W.E.T.’s currency related interest rate swap (“CRS”), in our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2012 is as follows:


			Asset Derivatives			Liability Derivatives				Net Asset/ (Liabilities)
	Hedge Designation	Fair Value Hierarchy	Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value		Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value
CRS	Not a hedge	Level 2				Current liabilities	$	(2,594	)

We did not incur any hedge ineffectiveness during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. We recorded an expense of $94 from interest payments on interest rate swap agreements designated as hedging instruments within interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

- Definition

Tabular disclosure of pertinent information about a derivative or group of derivatives on a disaggregated basis, such as for individual instruments, or small groups of similar instruments. May include a combination of the type of instrument, risks being hedged, notional amount, hedge designation, related hedged item, inception date, maturity date, or other relevant item.

Goodwill [Abstract]

Goodwill

Note 9 – Goodwill

Goodwill, which represents the cost of an acquired company in excess of the fair value of the net assets at the acquisition date, has been recorded in connection with the acquisition of W.E.T. and is subject to annual impairment testing or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

We evaluate the recoverability of goodwill by comparing the carrying value of the reporting units that have allocated goodwill to their fair value. Fair value is determined using discounted cash flows supplemented by market-based assessments of fair value. Impairment is measured as the difference between the resulting implied fair value of goodwill and its recorded carrying value. The determination of fair value is significantly impacted by unobservable input assumptions related to current and future economic conditions and our strategic plans within each geographic operating segment.

As of June 30, 2012, no impairment of goodwill from the acquisition of W.E.T. had occurred.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for the aggregate amount of goodwill and a description of intangible assets, which may include (a) for amortizable intangible assets (also referred to as finite-lived intangible assets), the carrying amount, the amount of any significant residual value, and the weighted-average amortization period, (b) for intangible assets not subject to amortization (also referred to as indefinite-lived intangible assets), the carrying amount, and (c) the amount of research and development assets acquired and written off in the period, including the line item in the income statement in which the amounts written off are aggregated, if not readily apparent from the income statement. Also discloses (a) for amortizable intangibles assets in total and by major class, the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization, the total amortization expense for the period, and the estimated aggregate amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years, (b) for intangible assets not subject to amortization the carrying amount in total and by major class, and (c) for goodwill, in total and for each reportable segment, the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the period (including the aggregate amount of goodwill acquired, the aggregate amount of impairment losses recognized, and the amount of goodwill included in the gain (loss) on disposal of a reporting unit). If any part of goodwill has not been allocated to a reportable segment, discloses the unallocated amount and the reasons for not allocating. For each impairment loss recognized related to an intangible asset (excluding goodwill), discloses: (a) a description of the impaired intangible asset and the facts and circumstances leading to the impairment, (b) the amount of the impairment loss and the method for determining fair value, (c) the caption in the income statement or the statement of activities in which the impairment loss is aggregated, and (d) the segment in which the impaired intangible asset is reported. For each goodwill impairment loss recognized, discloses: (a) a description of the facts and circumstances leading to the impairment, (b) the amount of the impairment loss and the method of determining the fair value of the associated reporting unit, and (c) if a recognized impairment loss is an estimate not finalized and the reasons why the estimate is not final. May also disclose the nature and amount of any significant adjustments made to a previous estimate of an impairment loss.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair Value Measurement [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurement

Note 10 – Fair Value Measurement

The Company bases fair value on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We have adopted a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and also considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

The Company’s derivative instruments and hedging activities and pension assets qualify as financial assets and liabilities whose fair value is measured on a recurring basis each reporting period. Fair value measurement disclosures for our derivative instruments and hedging activities are located within Note 8. The carrying amounts of financial instruments comprising cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates its fair value because interest charged on the loan balance is variable. There were no significant changes to interest rates during the period.

Certain Company assets are required to be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. As of June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not realize any changes to the fair value of these assets due to events that negatively impacted their recoverability.

- Definition

The entire disclosure of the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities, which includes financial instruments measured at fair value that are classified in shareholders' equity, which may be measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis.
