Report of Independent Auditors

To Car Communication Holding GmbH, Neckartenzlingen/Germany:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements, comprising the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the related consolidated income statements, cash flow statements and statements of shareholders' equity for the business years from January 1 to December 31, 2011, January 1 to December 31, 2010, and January 1 to December 31, 2009, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, of Car Communication Holding GmbH, Neckartenzlingen/Germany and its subsidiaries. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Car Communication Holding GmbH, Neckartenzlingen/Germany, and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the business years from January 1 to December 31, 2011, January 1 to December 31, 2010, and January 1 to December 31, 2009, in conformity with German Commercial Law (HGB).

I.    Basic Facts

The consolidated financial statements of Car Communication Holding GmbH for the 2011 financial year were prepared according to the provisions of the German Commercial Code (HGB). The accounting and valuation principles valid for large companies were applied, as per the provisions of HGB.

The consolidated income statement is classified using the total cost accounting method (total expenditure format).

The previous year was the first time that the consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the provisions of the version of the Commercial Code (HGB) issued subsequent to the German Accounting Law Modernization Act (BilMoG). Provided it was permissible, the amounts stated hitherto for assets and liabilities were retained and carried on. The application of the new provisions resulted in valuation differences in the previous year which were shown as extraordinary expenses amounting to € 850 thousand.
Furthermore, in accordance with Section 309 (2) No. 2 HGB, extraordinary income of € 4,021 thousand was recognized in the previous year as a result of the release of negative differences.

With effect from the previous year, the "equity difference from currency translation" is shown as a separate item under the heading of equity.

II.    Consolidated companies

III.    Principles of Consolidation


The consolidated financial statements are based on the individual annual financial statements of the companies included in the consolidation process. The individual statements were prepared according to uniform accounting and valuation principles.

In the case of all the companies included in the consolidation process, the individual financial statements had the same balance sheet dates as the consolidated financial statements.

The book value method was used when the consolidation process was first performed as of April 30, 2007.

The accounting and valuation methods used at the foreign subsidiaries included in the consolidation largely correspond to the principles of HGB. If there are any major deviations, adjustments (as per Section 308 HGB) are made in order to conform to the parent company's accounting and valuation principles.

The individual financial statements are integrated into the consolidated statements by applying the following measures:

Capital consolidation is performed on purchase transactions up to December 31, 2009 using the book value method, as per Section 301 (1) of the version of HGB valid up to May 28, 2009. This means setting the purchase cost off against the relevant proportion of the subsidiaries' equity on the date of incorporation or the date of purchase. No positive differences arose from capital consolidation when the consolidated financial statements were prepared for the first time as of April 30, 2007. The negative difference arising as of April 30, 2007 amounted to € 4,021 thousand. Until 2009 this was shown under the heading of revenue reserves. Last year, the negative differences were released with a corresponding effect on income. This was done via extraordinary income, in accordance with Section 309 (2) No. 2 HGB.

The process of currency translation was performed on financial statements denominated in a foreign currency in accordance with Section 308a HGB. The currency differences arising from translating the equity of foreign companies of the group at exchange rates that are now different from those valid at the time of the first consolidation were posted (without any effect on income) to the heading of "equity difference from currency translation".

As part of the debt consolidation process, receivables and liabilities existing mutually between the companies of the group were offset against each other. Currency and accounting-related differences were set off against each other in the income statement.

In preparing the consolidated income statement, not just the intercompany transactions were eliminated but also all recognizable major reciprocal income and expenses.

Intercompany results in fixed and current assets based on intragroup trade are eliminated with a corresponding effect on income.

Deferred taxes are accounted for pursuant to the provisions of Sections 274, 306 HGB. Deferred tax items are set up corresponding to the income tax rate applicable to the relevant company or (in the case of non-assignability) the average group tax rate.

the historical exchange rate valid at the time when they were first posted. Balance sheet items are valued as follows as at balance sheet date: Current (short-term) receivables in foreign currencies (with a remaining duration term of up to one year) and liquid funds or other current assets denominated in a foreign currency are translated using the average spot rate on balance sheet date.


In the case of the financial statements of companies included in the consolidation that are denominated in a foreign currency, the balance sheet items are converted at the rate valid on balance sheet date. The items in the income statements are converted using the year's average rate.

Currency differences relating to equity are recorded under the heading of "equity difference from currency translation", without affecting income.


Assets


Intangible and tangible fixed assets


Intangible assets purchased in return for payment are stated at purchase cost, and tangible assets are shown at purchase or manufacturing cost, less systematic depreciation.

Depreciation is calculated using the declining balance method in so far as this is permissible under tax law. This switches over to the straight-line method as soon as the latter leads to great amounts of depreciation. Additions made subsequent to December 31, 2007 are written off using the straight-line method. The useful lives applied to technical equipment and machines amount to four to six years, and three to fifteen years in the case of intangible assets and other equipment, factory & office equipment.

Low-value assets with a net purchase value of up to € 150 are written off in full in the year of their acquisition. Assets with a net purchase value of over € 150 and up to € 1,000 are posted to a compound item and written off over 5 years. There was a fixed value set for tools which was written off over a period of two years with effect from January 1, 2009.


Inventories


In the case of inventories, the purchased raw materials and supplies, merchandise, work in process and finished goods are valued at purchase or manufacturing cost or the lower attributable value at balance sheet date. Appropriate allowances have been made for inventory risks.


Insofar as it was evident at the time of preparation of the balance sheet that write-downs needed to be made on merchandise and finished goods due to their own costs not being full covered by the relevant proceeds, appropriate deductions were made to their value according to the principle of loss-free valuation. If, moreover, there are already orders definitely placed for these products, then accruals are set up to cover anticipated losses.

Receivables, other assets and liquid funds


Receivables, other assets and liquid funds are recognized at nominal value. In the case of receivables, individually calculated specific provisions and an appropriately measured general provision have been set up to cover recognizable individual risks and the general credit risk respectively.

Re-insurance claims are valued at their respective asset value (coverage capital) as of balance sheet date, based on insurers' notifications. Insofar as the conditions for plan assets as per Section 246 (2) HGB are fulfilled, the asset values are set off against the corresponding accruals.


Deferred taxes


The Company applies the principles of Section 274 and 306. In calculating deferred taxes as of December 31, 2011, the corporate and trade tax rate applicable in future to each company is used, provided the changes in the law have been passed at balance sheet date. In the case of the deferred taxes relating to intragroup trade (elimination of intercompany profits), the calculation in the 2011 financial year was performed using a standard group tax rate, taking cost-benefit considerations into account, because this had no major impact on the net assets and results of the Group. The standard group tax rate is 28%.


Equity and Liabilities


Accruals

Accruals for pensions are measured on an actuarial calculation basis according to the projected unit credit method, taking into consideration Prof. Heubeck's 2005 G guidance tables. The accruals for pensions and similar obligations are discounted at a flat rate using the average interest rate of the past seven years published by the German Federal Bank (Deutsche Bundesbank) resulting from an assumed remaining duration period of 15 years (Section 253 (2) Clause 2 HGB). The interest rate amounts to 5.14% (previous year: 5.15%). The calculation of the accruals did not take into account any annual wage & salary increases. As in the previous year, the pension increase and fluctuation rates were assumed to be 2.0% p.a. and 3.0% respectively.

Pensions and similar obligations are set off against the assets that solely serve to fulfill such obligations and cannot be accessed by external third parties (so-called plan assets). These plan assets - which are earmarked for a specific purpose, pledged and safeguarded against insolvency - are measured at their fair value.

The other accruals take into account uncertain liabilities and recognizable risks. The accruals are stated at the amounts deemed necessary according to sound business judgment. The accrued amounts are partly calculated on an individual basis and partly stated at a flat rate.


Liabilities

Liabilities are stated at the redemption amounts.


V.    Explanations to the Consolidated Balance Sheet

Intangible and tangible fixed assets

In line with the findings of the external tax audit performed at HCC in the year under review, goodwill of € 42 thousand arising from the acquisition of a business in 2009 was capitalized belatedly. The goodwill is being amortized over the expected useful period of originally 15 years, based on the planned long-term utilization of the business and connected factors that substantiate its value - in particular, the customer relations that have passed over with it.

Details of the development of fixed assets are shown in an appendix to the notes to the financial statements.

The columns headed "currency adjustment" show the deviations in value due to translating amounts using standard group exchange rates. Also, the "currency adjustment" column shows the difference in depreciation between using the average rate and the cut-off date rate.


Receivables and other assets

Under the heading of other assets, € 49 thousand has a remaining duration term of more than one year. As in the previous year, other receivables and other assets have a residual term of less than one year as of December 31, 2011.


Deferred tax assets

The deferred tax assets amounted to € 933 thousand in the financial year (previous year: € 943 thousand), of which € 933 thousand (previous year: € 850 thousand) related to deductible temporary differences and € 0 thousand (previous year: € 93 thousand) to tax loss carry-forwards which are fully dependent upon future taxable income. The deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences mainly concern pension accruals and other accruals at HCC.


Equity

The development of equity is shown in a separate appendix.

Accruals


The accruals for pensions and the early retirement scheme were set off against the plan assets within the context of Section 246 (2) HGB:

Redemption amount: pension accruals     € 4,690k (prior year: € 4,263k)
Current fair value of the plan assets    € 208k (prior year: € 199k)
(Purchase cost of the plan assets)    € 208k (prior year: € 199k)
Net obligation                € 4,482k (prior year: € 4,064k)
                                  

Redemption amount - obligations for
early retirement scheme             € 1,651k (prior year: € 1,822k)
Current fair value of the plan assets    € 812k (prior year: € 919k)
(Purchase cost of the plan assets)    € 813k (prior year: € 945k)
Net obligation                € 839k (prior year: € 903k)


The current fair value of the plan assets relating to the pension accruals corresponds to the asset value from the re-insurance cover which also corresponds to the purchase cost. The current fair value of the plan assets in the case of the obligations based on the early retirement scheme corresponds to the depot value (= market value) of the shares in the fund.

The connected income and expense can be broken down as follows:

Interest additions - pension accruals    € 194k (prior year: € 261k)

Interest income from plan assets        € 7k (prior year: € 11k)
Expenses from calculating current fair
value of plan assets            € 1k (prior year: € 26k)

The expenses arising from the addition of accrued interest on accruals are shown separately in the interest result. To this extent, no offset is performed.


Liabilities

A table showing the liabilities' remaining duration terms and collateral is attached as an appendix.

There are liabilities to shareholders amounting to € 4,727 thousand (previous year: € 5,996 thousand). These are subordinate as per the terms of the related subordination agreements.

In order to collateralize liabilities to banks, there are collateral transfers of inventories and assignments of receivables amounting to € 6,000 thousand at the Car Communication Holding Group.

VII.    Contingencies and other financial obligations

The total figure for other financial obligations comes to € 8,704 thousand as of December 31, 2011 (previous year: € 9,796 thousand).

The purchase commitment for fixed assets amounts to € 875 thousand (previous year: € 841 thousand).


VIII.     Derivatives
Forward exchange transactions in USD and HUF
Type of valuation units set up: Micro-hedge
Type of hedged risk: Risk of change in value (currency risks based on currency fluctuations {US dollars (USD) and Hungarian forints (HUF)}
The valuation units include liabilities as at balance sheet date totalling USD 2,463 (pervious year: USD 1,953) thousand and planned procurement transactions totalling USD 3,537 (previous year: USD 13,647) thousand or HUF 1,440,000 (previous year: HUF 1,200,000) thousand. Individual forward exchange contracts were signed for the individual liabilities or expected orders. The duration term of these contracts corresponds to the expected maturity of the underlying transaction.
The nominal value of the forward exchange contracts signed in order to hedge foreign currency transactions amounts to € 4,265 (previous year: € 11,293) thousand as of December 31, 2011 (relating to USD) and € 5,030 (previous year: € 4,098) thousand (relating to HUF), with current fair values totalling € +356 (previous year: € +480) thousand (relating to USD) and € -525 (previous year: € +92) thousand (relating to HUF) which are not posted to the accounts. The contracts have duration terms up to the end of 2012 in the case of the USD transactions and up to June 2013 (previous year: June 2012) for the HUF transactions.
The reconciliation of the parameters of the underlying and the hedging transactions that are relevant to the valuation process form the basis for calculating the effectiveness of the valuation unit. Its effectiveness is determined from a prospective point of view.
The current fair values of the derivative financial instruments are calculated using standard market valuation methods, taking into account the market values on the date of valuation. Foreign exchange contracts are

valued individually on the basis of the substitute amount using the current market forward exchange rate on cut-off date compared to the agreed forward exchange rate or contractual rate. The market forward exchange rates are geared towards the spot rate, taking into account forward premiums and forward discounts.

Interest swaps

The Company has signed interest hedging transactions in order to avoid interest rate risks with regard to existing bank loans. In this way, it has secured fixed interest rates over the duration of the interest swap through to March 2012.

At balance sheet date, there were two interest swaps in existence for a financing amount (nominal volume) of € 8,750 thousand (previous year: € 9,500 thousand). The market values of the interest swaps total € -66 thousand at balance sheet date (previous year: € -367 thousand). The market values are calculated using the "mark to market" method, taking into account the interest structure curve on balance sheet date whereby the future cash flow undergoes discounting. Because of the creation of valuation units, no accruals for anticipated losses are posted to the accounts.

IX.    Other Information


Personnel

The average number of employees in the financial year amounted to 813 (previous year: 727). This figure comprises 385 salaried employees (previous year: 357) and 428 industrial workers (previous year: 370).


Total year-end audit fees

The year-end auditor's total fee amounts to € 196 thousand (previous year: € 85 thousand). This consists of € 65 thousand (previous year: € 67 thousand) for year-end audit work, € 39 thousand (previous year: € 18 thousand) for tax consultancy services and € 92 thousand (previous year: € 0 thousand) for other services.

X.    German GAAP to US GAAP Reconciliation

The 2011 and 2010 consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with German generally accepted accounting principles (“German GAAP”), which differ in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The effects of these differences on the Group's net income and shareholders' equity for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 are set out below:

Explanation of Notes:

a)    Opening adjustment to Shareholders' Equity

The reconciliation requirements are for two years only. However, in order to properly present the shareholders' equity reported under US GAAP, adjustments to opening retained earnings must be made. The adjustments made are the same as described in the following notes with the exception of Note e).

The depreciation calculated under German GAAP differs from the amount calculated under US GAAP as until December 31, 2007, German GAAP allowed for depreciation to be calculated utilizing the declining balance method in so far as this was permissible under tax law. The methodology switched over to the straight-line method as soon as the straight-line methodology led to greater amounts of depreciation. Additionally, under German GAAP assets are generally depreciated over a useful life that is shorter than it would be under US GAAP.

c)    Unrealized results on derivatives

Under German GAAP the outstanding market positions on the interest rate and currency swaps are not recognized in the balance sheet because they are accounted for utilizing hedge accounting. As the documentation for the hedge accounting was not in place at the inception of the instrument, hedge accounting under US GAAP may not be applied, therefore the unrealized results regarding these outstanding positions need to be included in net income.

d)    Difference in accounting related to Pension and Similar Provisions

The pension related reserves under German GAAP need to be restated in order to comply with ASC 715-30 the related differences with German GAAP are reflected here. Part of the adjustment due to recognition of actuarial gains and losses (AOCI - Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income) is corrected directly against shareholders equity, net of tax (2011: kEuro 265, 2010: kEuro 191).

e)    Reversal of provision for contingent losses

The group has firm commitments for deliveries of certain products to be produced and sold in the future at a price that is less than the cost of producing the product. The estimated losses were recorded under German GAAP but are reversed under US GAAP as provision for loss making contracts are not permissible under US GAAP.

f)    Inclusion of capitalized leases

The Group entered into several lease agreements for new machinery in 2011 that according to German GAAP did not qualify for inclusion in the Balance Sheet; for US GAAP purposes however these should be capitalized. The effect on 2011 income is shown here.

g)    Effects of 2007 Purchase Price Allocation

On April 30, 2007 the Group was acquired by the former German shareholders following a split-up of the original Hirschmann Group. The resulting negative goodwill was written off directly against Revenue Reserves following German GAAP at the time. Due to a change in German accounting law (Bilanzrechtsmodernisierungsgesetz, BilMoG) this write down was released to 2010 Income and reclassified to Retained Earnings.

Under US GAAP however a Purchase Price Allocation should have been conducted in accordance with SFAS No. 141 “Business Combinations and SFAS 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” as applicable at 30th April 2007.

For the purpose of this reconciliation the effects of the German accounting treatment of the original negative goodwill were reversed and replaced by the effects of the re-appraisal of the April 30, 2007 assets and liabilities on the Net Income and Shareholders' Equity of the subsequent years.

h)    Income tax impact of adjustments

The changes noted above are income tax affected based on the currently enacted effective tax rate for the

Classification differences between German and US GAAP

In addition to the differences between German and US GAAP related to the recognition and measurement of transactions by the Group, there are also a number of differences in the manner in which items are classified in the consolidated income statement and consolidated balance sheet. These classification differences have no impact on the net income or shareholders' equity.

VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries
 
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements

All amounts presented are in thousands (unless otherwise indicated) except share and per share data.
 
On March 14, 2012 (the "Closing Date"), VOXX International Corporation ("VOXX International" or the "Company"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Voxx International (Germany) GmbH ("VOXX Germany"), completed its acquisition of Car Communication Holding GmbH and its worldwide subsidiaries (collectively “Hirschmann”) for a total purchase price of approximately €87,571 ($114,397 based on the rate of exchange as of the close of business on the Closing Date), subject to working capital adjustments plus related transaction fees and expenses (the "Acquisition"). The Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of Hirschmann from Viktor Schicker, IRS Profil GmbH, Ludwig Geis and Joachim Brandes (the “Selling Shareholders”). There was no material relationship between the Company and the Selling Shareholders or Hirschmann prior to the purchase of the issued and outstanding shares of Hirschmann. The stock purchase agreement provides for a period in which to finalize the working capital adjustment.

On the Closing Date, the Company, certain of its directly and indirectly wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and VOXX Germany (collectively, the “Borrowers”) entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as Agent, and the other lenders party thereto. The Company borrowed $148,000 under the Credit Agreement on the Closing Date and used a portion of the proceeds from such borrowing to fund VOXX Germany's acquisition of Hirschmann. On the Closing Date, the Company also repaid and terminated its existing asset-based loan facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC.

As prescribed by Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines, the following unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements are based on the historical financial statements of VOXX International and Hirschmann after giving effect to the Acquisition, and the assumptions, reclassifications and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements.
 
The historical financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma combined financial data to give effect to pro forma events that are, based upon available information and certain assumptions: (i) directly attributable to the Acquisition, (ii) factually supportable and reasonable under the circumstances, and (iii) with respect to the statement of income, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.
 
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of February 29, 2012 is presented as if the Acquisition had occurred on February 29, 2012.  The unaudited pro forma combined statement of income for the year ended February 29, 2012, is presented as if the Acquisition had occurred on March 1, 2011 with recurring acquisition-related adjustments reflected in the year.
 
The Acquisition will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC subtopic 805-10 “Business Combinations.”  Management has estimated the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on preliminary estimates and assumptions.  These preliminary estimates and assumptions could change significantly during the purchase price measurement period as we finalize the valuations of the net tangible assets and intangible assets.  Any change could result in material variances between the Company's future financial results and the amounts presented in these unaudited combined financial statements, including variances in fair values recorded, as well as expenses associated with these items.
 
The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are prepared for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of or intended to represent the results that would have been achieved had the Acquisition been consummated as of the dates indicated or that may be achieved in the future.  The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not reflect any operating efficiencies, associated cost savings or additional costs that we may achieve with respect to the combined companies.
 
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with VOXX International's historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 29, 2012 and the historical consolidated financial statements of Hirschmann (comprising the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the related consolidated income statements, cash flow statements and statements of shareholders' equity for the business years from January 1 to December 31, 2011, January 1 to December 31, 2010 and January 1 to December 31, 2009 and the notes to consolidated financial statements at Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 8-K/A) and other information pertaining to VOXX International and Hirschmann contained in this Form 8-K/A.

The pro forma financial statements are based on the historical financial statements of VOXX International as of and for the year

ended February 29, 2012 and those of Hirschmann as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011.

VOXX International Corporation
Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(In thousands, unless otherwise indicated)


1. Description of Transaction
 
On March 14, 2012 (the "Closing Date"), VOXX International Corporation ("VOXX International" or the "Company"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary VOXX International (Germany) GmbH, completed its acquisition of Car Communication Holding GmbH and its worldwide subsidiaries (collectively "Hirschmann"), a recognized tier-1 supplier of communications and infotainment solutions primarily to the automotive industry, pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement for €87,571 ($114,397 based upon the rate of exchange as of the close of business on the Closing Date), subject to working capital adjustments, plus related transaction fees and expenses (the "Acquisition"). The stock purchase agreement provides for a term in which to finalize the working capital adjustment.

This Acquisition was financed through borrowings under an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Credit Agreement") entered into on the Closing Date.

The terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Credit Agreement were previously described in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20, 2012 (the “Original 8-K”) and such description of the Sale and Purchase Agreement is incorporated herein by reference.  Such description of the Sale and Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the the Form 10-K filed on May 14, 2012.

2. Basis of Presentation
 
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and was based on the historical consolidated financial statements of VOXX International as of February 29, 2012 and Hirschmann as of December 31, 2011 and for the years then ended. All Euro amounts were converted to U. S. dollars using the exchange rate at the close of business on the Closing Date. The historical financial statements of Hirschmann included in the pro forma combined financial statements, prepared in accordance with U. S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"), were derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of Hirschmann that were prepared in accordance with German Commercial Law (HGB) and reconciled to U.S. GAAP at Note X to exhibit 99.2 to this Form 8-K/A. Certain reclassificatons were made to the overall presentation of the historical Hirschmann consolidated financial statements to conform to VOXX International's presentation.

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of February 29, 2012 is presented as if the acquisition of Hirschmann had occurred on February 29, 2012. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of income for the year ended February 29, 2012, is presented as if the Acquisition had occurred on March 1, 2011. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information was prepared under existing U.S. GAAP.
   
The acquisition method of accounting under U.S. GAAP requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values at the acquisition date.  Fair value is defined under U.S. GAAP as “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.”  Market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal (or most advantageous) market for the asset or liability.  Fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use by these market participants.  Fair value measurements can be highly subjective and it is possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts.
 
Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their respective fair values and added to those of VOXX International.  Financial statements and reported results of operations of VOXX International for periods following completion of the acquisition will reflect these values, and the related depreciation and amortization thereof, but will not be retroactively restated to reflect the historical financial position or results of operations of Hirschmann for periods prior to the acquisition.
 
Acquisition-related transaction costs (e.g., advisory, legal, valuation, other professional fees) and certain acquisition-related restructuring charges impacting the acquired company are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred.  The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not reflect acquisition-related transaction costs incurred by VOXX International or Hirschmann. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements reflect no restructuring and integration charges that may be incurred in connection with the

8



acquisition.


3. Accounting Policies

VOXX International has not identified any differences in accounting policies that would have a material impact on the combined financial statements.
 
4. Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
 
The preliminary estimated assets acquired and the liabilities assumed by VOXX International in the acquisition of Hirschmann, reconciled to the consideration transferred, are provided below.

The above table summarizes on a preliminary basis, the allocation of the purchase price of Hirschmann to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition and remains subject to finalization.

5. Pro Forma Adjustments
 
This note should be read in conjunction with Note 1. Description of Transaction; Note 2. Basis of Presentation; and Note 4. Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed.
 
Adjustments under the heading “Pro Forma Adjustments” represent the following:

a)
To capitalize debt issuance costs incurred for the Hirschmann acquisition, which is expected to be amortized and recorded to interest expense, on a straight-line basis over the life of the Credit Agreement.

b)
VOXX International performed a fair value assessment for inventory, which, on a preliminary basis, increased book value by $700. The resulting fair value adjustment to inventory will increase cost of sales and has been reported as such.

c)
VOXX International performed a fair value assessment for property, plant and equipment, which, on a preliminary basis, increased the book value by approximately $3,700. The resulting fair value adjustments attributable to property, plant and equipment, primarily used in the manufacturing process, will increase depreciation expense by approximately $500 and has been reported as adjustments to cost of sales.

The preliminary estimated fair value and the estimated useful lives of each class of asset are summarized on the table below:

Total
 
 
 
$
18,403


These valuations and estimated useful lives are preliminary and subject to change.

d)
To record estimated acquisition goodwill of $76,118 and to eliminate historical goodwill of Hirschmann of $50. Goodwill largely consists of geographic expansion of product sales and other synergies of the combined companies, the value of the assembled workforce, other intangible assets that did not qualify for separate recognition and other intangible assets that were not individually identified because they cannot be reliably measured.  Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

e)
To record the estimated fair value of the intangibles acquired of $19,857 and to eliminate historical intangible assets of Hirschmann of $6,126. To determine the estimated fair value of intangibles acquired, VOXX International engaged a third party valuation specialist to assist management.  Based on the preliminary assessment, the acquired intangible asset categories, fair value and average amortization periods, are as follows:

 
 
Amortization
Period
 
Fair Value at
February 29, 2012
 
 
 
 
 
Tradename
 
Indefinite
 
$
5,356

Patents
 
13 years
 
$
5,879

Customer relationships
 
15 years
 
$
8,622

Total
 
 
 
$
19,857


 
The preliminary fair value of the tradename and patents was determined based on the “relief from royalty” method, an approach under which fair value is estimated to be the present value of royalties saved because we own the intangible asset and therefore do not have to pay a royalty for its use. The customer relationships were preliminarily valued utilizing the “excess earnings method” of income approach.  Estimated discounted cash flow associated with existing customers and projects was based on historical and market participant data.

These valuations and the estimated useful lives are preliminary and subject to change.

f)
To record the deferred tax liability for the fair value adjustments to inventory, fixed assets, tradename, patents and customer relationships.

g)
To adjust for borrowings incurred under the Credit Agreement to finance the acquisition of Hirschmann.

Adjustments to debt are as follows:

Borrowings under $130,000 - Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility
 
$
72,985

Borrowings under $75,000 - Term Loan
 
41,412

 
 
$
114,397

The principal amount of the term loan shall be repaid in consecutive quarterly installments of $3,750 until the maturity

11



date (five years following the closing date) of the term loan.

h)
To eliminate the historical shareholder loans payable of Hirschmann, of $6,175 that were paid by VOXX International in connection with the acquisition and have been included in the purchase price. The loans are now intercompany loans that eliminate in the consolidation of VOXX International and Hirschmann.

i)
To eliminate stockholders' equity of Hirschmann as of the date of the acquisition.
 
j)
To eliminate premiums to senior management accrued by Hirschmann of approximately $522 during the year ended December 31, 2011 for the successful sale of the business to VOXX International. These premiums in the historical financial statements are considered to be non-recurring and are not expected to have a continuing impact on the operations of the Company.

k)
To adjust amortization expense attributable to the fair value of the intangible assets acquired, which is expected to be provided on a straight-line basis, and eliminate historical amortization expense for intangible assets recorded by Hirschmann, as follows:
        
 
 
For the year ended February 29, 2012
