The category has matured since thee extreme increases we saw a few years ago, o, and continued growth is primarily being driven n by new and exciting styles and attributes that at consumers are gravitating towards. We have e identified three key segments that we feel el will drive much of the category growth h through 2016: • Bluetooth - +141% YOY • Decibel Limited (Kid Safe) - +88% • Ear Clip (Fitness/Active) - +64% Source: The NPD Group, Inc. POS Retail Tracking Service Bluetooth headphones are not new, but they have finally hit critical mass as manufacturers are starting to get the price/quality/ y/ value equation right. Bluetooth enabled headphoness now make up 16% of the entire headphone category. y. Most of the volume is at the upper price tiers which h results in a very high ASP of $149.00. However – we can infer that this has to less to do o with consumers only wanting to spend more money, y, and more to do with a lack of quality options at the e lower price tiers. This is evidenced by no brand d having greater than 16% share in the sub $100 0 segment. Important to note is that all the differentt styles (ear clip, earbud and on ear) are all on the e rise. Consumers are looking to replace whateverr they are used to using with a wireless version. Source: The NPD Group, Inc. POS Retail Tracking Service 8 headphones Source: The NPD Group, Inc. POS Retail Tracking Service W While not as large a segment as Bluetooth, “Kid Safe” or 85 decibel limited to headphones continue to grow. Mom h aand Dad are letting kids use tablets aand mobile devices for entertainment (and babysitting) more and more, (a aand the kids need headphones that aare safe, sized right and fun. This ssegment is almost entirely dominated by the on ear style and carries a fairly b low ASP of $18.62. Many retailers lo have now dedicated permanent h sspace to this segment so it is a year rround category, but we have also sseen significant spikes at March Break, Back to School and Holiday B indicating it is still a very seasonal and promotional business.

POS Retail Tracking Service 9 headphones Ear Clip style earbuds are on the rise as well – these are typically marketed as “active” or “fitness” and often carry extra features like sweat resistance. The consumer buying for this usage occasion is willing to spend a little more for these added features as evidenced by a strong ASP of $55.62. Source: The NPD Group, Inc.

For these reasons mobile accessories represent a huge sales and profit opportunity to the marketplace. Safety markings such as ETL & UL signify that the product has been tested to and found in compliance with national safety standards by a qualified, independent testing laboratory. Our findings show that many retailers carry products that do not comply with Canadian certification requirements. WHY DO CONSUMER ELECTRONICS NEED TO BE CERTIFIED? Non-compliant devices and their chargers can potentially overheat and therefore pose a significant safety hazard, and may be subject to government recalls. WHAT CAN RETAILERS DO? Non-certified products that do not meet the essential safety standards of Canadian compliance cannot be legally sold in Canada and are not safe for your customers. Retailers in possession of these non-compliant devices should contact their supplier. Curve ensures the products we bring to market are certified and of the highest build quality, offering the same functionality of OEM cables and chargers reducing dissatisfied customers and defective returns. CERTIFICATION MARKINGS The UL (Underwriters Laboratories) is a worldwide safety consulting and certification company, it maintains offices in 46 countries. UL was established in 1894 and has participated in the safety analysis of many of the last century’s new technologies, most notably the public adoption of electricity and the drafting of safety standards for electrical devices and components. UL provides safety-related certification, validation, testing, inspection, auditing, advising and training services to a wide range of clients, including manufacturers, retailers, policymakers, regulators, service companies, and consumers. UL is one of several companies approved to perform safety testing recognized by Health Canada, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). OSHA maintains a list of approved testing laboratories, which are known as Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories. To ensure the product meets the Canadian standards, the product certification will show ULC. 26 accessory certification markings to look for ETL (Electrical Testing Laboratory) is a division of Intertek Group plc (LSE: ITRK) specializing in electrical product safety testing, EMC testing, and benchmark performance testing. ETL operates more than 30 offices and laboratories on six continents. The services provided by ETL are very similar in nature to UL, and the relevant certification to Canadian Standards will show cETL. The Apple MFi Program encompasses third-party hardware accessories which use Apple’s licensed technology to connect electronically to iPhone, iPad or iPod. MFi licensed technology includes: Lightning and 30-pin connectors. Authentication coprocessors. iPod Accessory Protocol, the protocol used to communicate with iPhone, iPad and iPod. The FCC Declaration of Conformity, the FCC label, or the FCC mark is a certification mark employed on electronic products manufactured or sold in the United States which certifies that the electromagnetic interference from the device is under limits approved by the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC label is found even on products sold outside the US territory, because they are either products manufactured in the US and had been exported, or they were manufactured in other nations which have US as a prime market (e.g.: Japan, China). This makes the FCC label recognizable worldwide even to people to whom the name of the agency Federal Communications Commission is not familiar. The Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive 2002/95/EC, RoHS, short for Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, was adopted in February 2003. The definition and aim of the RoHS directive is quite simple. The RoHS directive aims to restrict certain dangerous substances commonly used in electronic and electronic equipment. Any RoHS compliant component is tested for the presence of Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg), Hexavalent chromium (Hex-Cr), Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE). For Cadmium and Hexavalent chromium, there must be less than 0.01% of the substance by weight at raw homogeneous materials level. For Lead, PBB, and PBDE, there must be no more than 0.1% of the material, when calculated by weight at raw homogeneous materials. Any RoHS compliant component must have 100 ppm or less of mercury and the mercury must not have been intentionally added to the component. In the EU, some military and medical equipment are exempt from RoHS compliance. 27 iessentials NEW, INNOVATIVE, FUN... iessentials offers a complete line of accessories for Apple and Android devices including chargers, cables and power banks.

The new standard is: USB Type-C Thunderbolt cables due to both increased speed and ease of use. SPEED: Top speed of 10GB/s and has much higher power output of up to 20V(100W) and 5A. The majority of 15-inch notebook computers require only 60W of power, therefore future laptops could be charged the way tablets and smartphones are now: via their USB port. In fact Apple’s latest 12” Mac Book is the first notebook to incorporates a Type-C USB as its primary power port. EASE OF USE: Type-C plug is a reversible connector to both the host and device. This means you can do away with an array of proprietary power adapters and USB cables, moving to a single, robust solution that works for all devices. Type-C USB will significantly cut down the amount of cables currently needed to connect, sync and power your devices. • • • • • NOW IN STOCK!
