REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Members
AUDIOVOX SPECIALIZED APPLICATIONS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY
Elkhart, Indiana
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of AUDIOVOX SPECIALIZED
APPLICATIONS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY as of November 30, 2005 and 2004, and the
related consolidated statements of income, members' equity, and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended November 30, 2005. 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 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. 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 provided 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 AUDIOVOX SPECIALIZED
APPLICATIONS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY as of November 30, 2005 and 2004, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended November 30, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.

AUDIOVOX SPECIALIZED APPLICATIONS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY
(A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS, USE OF ESTIMATES, AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS:
Audiovox Specialized Applications ("ASA") "The Mobile Electronics Company" is an
international supplier of mobile electronics in certain niche markets in the
Automotive Industry including: Recreational Vehicle, Van/SUV Conversion,
Commercial Vehicle, Heavy Duty Truck, Agricultural, Construction, Bus,
Limousine, and Marine industries. Its proprietary line of products include:
Flexvision LCD Entertainment Systems, including DVD and video cassette players;
Voyager Rear Observation and Bus Monitor/PA Systems and radios; Nextgen Modular
Chassis Systems; Aquatronics Marine Radios, Speakers, and Housings; Jensen
Marine Radios, Speakers and Housings and other Audio/Video Products; and Heavy
Duty Systems, Radios and other Audio Products. These products are sold to
customers throughout the world, generally on 30-day terms. ASA is headquartered
in Elkhart, Indiana and has a public distribution center in California.
USE OF ESTIMATES:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
REVENUE RECOGNITION:
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales at the time of passage of
title and risk of loss to the customer either at F.O.B. Shipping Point or F.O.B.
Destination, based upon terms established with the customer. The Company's
selling price is fixed and determined at the time of shipment and collectibility
is reasonably assured and not contingent upon the customer's resale of the
product. The customers are generally not given rights of return. In the event
customers are granted rights of return, the Company records an allowance for
future returns. At November 30, 2005 and 2004, no such allowance was deemed
necessary. The product sale is not subject to acceptance or installation by
Company or customer personnel.
The Company recognizes shipping costs in selling, general and administrative in
the accompanying statements of income. Shipping costs for the years ended
November 30, 2005, 2004, and 2003 were approximately $403,000, $387,000, and
$248,000 respectively.
The Company recognizes royalty revenue at the time the related product is
purchased by Audiovox Corporation ("Audiovox"), a member of ASA, under the terms
of the related royalty agreement. Total royalty revenue under this agreement for
the years ended November 30, 2005, 2004, and 2003 was approximately $871,000,
$2,103,000, and $3,253,000 respectively.

AUDIOVOX SPECIALIZED APPLICATIONS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY
(A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MEMBERS' EQUITY:
In accordance with the generally accepted method of presenting limited liability
company financial statements, the accompanying financial statements do not
include other corporate assets and liabilities of the members, including their
obligation for income taxes on the net income of the limited liability company
nor any provision for income tax expense.
It is the Company's intent to distribute funds to members to cover their income
tax liabilities. No provision has been made for any material distributions which
may be made subsequent to the balance sheet date.
Subsequent to November 30, 2005, the Company paid or accrued approximately
$1,400,000 of member distributions.
The LLC operating agreement does not provide for separate classes of ownership.
Audiovox and ASA Electronics Corporation share equally in all LLC events and the
related member accounts are considered equal on a fair value basis.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
CruiseTV, LLC ("CruiseTV") a wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant
intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:
The Company maintains its cash accounts in amounts which, at times, may be in
excess of insurance limits provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation.
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers investments
in various repurchase agreements with its bank, money market accounts and highly
liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents. Cash equivalents amounted to approximately $591,000 and
$1,400,000 for the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004 respectively.
AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES:
Available-for-sale securities consist of investments in marketable debt
securities. Debt securities consist primarily of obligations of municipalities.
The Company accounts for these investments in accordance with FASB Statement No.
115. Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the
date individual investment securities are acquired and the appropriateness of
such classification is reassessed at each balance sheet date. Since the Company
neither buys investment securities in anticipation of short-term fluctuation in
market prices nor commits to holding debt securities to their maturities, the
investments in debt and equity securities have been classified as
available-for-sale in accordance with Statement No. 115. Available-for-sale
securities are stated at fair value, and unrealized holding gains and losses, if
any, are reported as a separate component of members' equity.

AUDIOVOX SPECIALIZED APPLICATIONS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY
(A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost that
is deemed other-than-temporary results in a reduction in carrying amount to fair
value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the
security is established. The Company considers numerous factors, on a case by
case basis, in evaluating whether the decline in market value of an
available-for-sale security below cost is other-than-temporary. Such factors
include, but are not limited to, (i) the length of time and the extent to which
the market value has been less than cost; (ii) the financial condition and the
near-term prospects of the issuer or the investment; and (iii) whether the
Company's intent to retain the investment for the period of time is sufficient
to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.
TRADE RECEIVABLES:
Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made
for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a
monthly basis. Trade receivables in the accompanying balance sheets at November
30, 2005 and 2004 are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of
approximately $76,000 and $100,000 respectively. Management determines the
allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and by using
historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Trade receivables are
written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables
previously written off are recorded when received. Generally, a trade receivable
is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is
outstanding for more than 30 days.
INVENTORIES:
Inventories consist principally of finished goods and are stated at the lower of
cost (primarily on a weighted moving average basis) or market.
DEPRECIATION:
Depreciation of leasehold improvements and equipment is computed principally by
the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Years
-------
Leasehold improvements 5
Machinery and equipment 5-10
Tooling and molding 3
Transportation equipment 5
Office furniture and fixtures 10
Computer equipment 3-5
Booth displays 7

AUDIOVOX SPECIALIZED APPLICATIONS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY
(A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARRANTIES:
The Company provides a limited warranty primarily for a period of up to three
years for its products. The Company's standard warranties require the Company,
the original equipment manufacturer or its dealers to repair or replace
defective products during such warranty periods at no cost to the consumer. The
Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its basic limited
warranty and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time product
revenue is recognized. The related expense is recorded as cost of goods sold in
the accompanying statements of income. Factors that affect the Company's
warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated
rates of warranty claims, the historical lag time between product sales and
product claims, and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the
adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as
necessary. The Company utilizes historical trends and analytical tools to assist
in determining the appropriate loss reserve levels.
Changes in the Company's warranty liability during the years ended November 30,
2005, 2004, and 2003 are as follows:
2005 2004 2003
------------------------------------------------
Balance, beginning $ 2,182,000 $ 2,016,000 $ 1,605,000
Accruals for products sold 1,835,396 2,016,430 1,888,292
Payments made (1,627,396) (1,850,430) (1,477,292)
------------------------------------------------
Balance, ending $ 2,390,000 $ 2,182,000 $ 2,016,000
================================================
INCOME TAXES:
The members have elected to be taxed for federal and state income tax purposes
as a limited liability company under the provisions of the respective income tax
codes. Under these provisions, the members report net income of the Company on
their corporate income tax returns.
ADVERTISING COSTS:
The Company expenses the cost of advertising (including trade shows), as
incurred. Advertising costs in the accompanying statements of income were
$819,000, $535,000, and $335,000 for the years ended November 30, 2005, 2004,
and 2003 respectively.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS:
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 141, Business Combinations, and
SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be
used for all future business combinations and specifies criteria intangible
assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and
reported apart from goodwill.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets, requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite
useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at
least annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change
that could more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below
its carrying amount.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a result of adopting the provisions of SFAS No. 142, the Company did not
record amortization expense relating to its goodwill or its trademark rights.
For intangible assets with indefinite lives, including goodwill, the Company
performed its annual impairment test, which resulted in a $300,000 impairment
adjustment during the year ended November 30, 2004 (See Note 8). There was no
impairment for the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2003.
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets, the Company reviews its long-lived assets periodically to
determine potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived
assets with the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows expected to result
from the use of the assets, including cash flows from disposition. Should the
sum of the expected future net cash flows be less that the carrying value, the
Company would recognize an impairment loss at that date. An impairment loss
would be measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds
the fair value of the long-lived assets. The Company performed its annual
impairment test, which indicated no reduction is required.
