Report of Independent Auditors
 
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Klipsch Group, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Klipsch Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Klipsch Group, Inc. and subsidiaries at June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, codified in Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 740, in 2010.

KLIPSCH GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
 

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Klipsch Group, Inc. (the Company) has four wholly owned subsidiaries: Klipsch, L.L.C. (Klipsch), Audio Products International, Corp. (API), Klipsch Asia/Pacific Holdings (China), and Jamo US (Jamo). The Company designs, manufactures and distributes high-quality loudspeakers for audio, multi-media and home theater applications. The Company's subsidiary in China is nonoperational. Klipsch conducts its European operations (primarily sales and distribution) through Klipsch Europe, B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Klipsch, which is headquartered in the Netherlands.
 
Approximately 16% of the Company's employees work under a domestic collective bargaining agreement that expires in June 2013.
 
Codification: In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (ASC 105). This standard establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) as the sole source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The ASC superseded all existing GAAP upon its effective date. Topic 105 was effective for interim or annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company has updated references to GAAP in its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2010. Adoption of this standard did not have an impact on consolidated net earnings, cash flows or financial position.
 
Principles of Consolidation: The Company's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Klipsch Group, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Reference to the Company throughout this report relates to the consolidated entity.
 
Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform with the current year presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on the net results previously reported.
 
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
Cash: The Company places cash with institutions with high credit quality. However, at times, cash may be in excess of FDIC and SIPC insurance limits.
 
Receivables and Credit Polices: The Company grants credit to its customers, who are primarily retailers and distributors in the home electronics industry, located both domestically and internationally. Domestic accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms, which average 60 days. Certain international accounts receivable are insured up to their credit limit. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to the customer less the anticipated earned discount.
 
The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance that reflects management's best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. Management reviews all past due accounts receivable balances, and, based on an assessment of the current creditworthiness, estimates the portion, if any, of the accounts that will not be collected. Additionally, management applies an estimate of the entire accounts receivable balance to compute a general allowance covering those amounts.
 
The Company has one major customer that represents 29% and 23% of the Company's accounts receivable at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Additionally, approximately 25% and 19% of the Company's net sales during the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, were to one customer.
 
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method. Inventories consisted of the following at June 30:

The Company periodically evaluates its inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence. This evaluation includes analyses of sales levels by product and projections of future demand. If future demand or market conditions are less favorable than the Company's projections, inventory write-downs may be required.
The Company is dependent on six major vendors for the outsourced production of its inventory. A loss of one of these vendors or disruption in the supply of the product could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results. These suppliers have provided extended payment terms to the Company. To the extent these terms are changed or terminated, there could be a material impact to the Company.
 
Product Warranties: The Company has provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranties, which are recorded at the time the products are sold. Estimates for warranty costs are calculated based primarily upon historical warranty experience, but may include assumptions related to anticipated changes in warranty costs and failure rates.
 
Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost and includes expenditures for new facilities, equipment and improvements that materially extend the useful lives of existing assets. Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
 
Buildings and improvements
5-40 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
3-15 years
 
Depreciation expense for 2010 and 2009 was $3,117,420 and $3,229,451, respectively.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of identifiable net assets of businesses acquired. Other intangible assets consist of customer lists and relationships, purchased technology and patents, and trademarks. Under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other” (ASC 350), goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually or whenever an event occurs or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount is impaired. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the fair value of the goodwill within the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. To date, there has been no impairment of goodwill. See Note 7 of the consolidated financial statements regarding impairment of intangible assets.
 
Long-lived Assets, including Intangibles: The Company evaluates long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, in compliance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment” (ASC 360). An impairment loss is recognized whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amount to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the related asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the assets (see Note 7 of the consolidated financial statements).
 
Intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis as follows:
    
Custom craft trade name
15 years
Patents
10-16 years
Customer list/distribution channel
12-15 years
Non-compete agreement
Term of agreement
 
The trade names acquired in connection with Jamo and API have indefinite lives and, therefore, are not being amortized.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The Company has adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic No. 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820-10). ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 was effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2008 for financial assets and liabilities, and July 1, 2009 for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for items recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The adoption of ASC 820-10 at June 30, 2010 and 2009 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
Stock Options: The Company recognizes compensation expense related to its stock option plan in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation” (ASC 718). Options are granted at a price not less than the fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant.
 
Income Taxes: Deferred income taxes are recognized for the temporary differences between the tax basis of the assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 740, “Income Taxes” (ASC 740). The income tax benefit or provision represents the tax receivable or payable for the period and the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and liabilities (see Note 6 of the consolidated financial statements).
 
Subsequent Events: The Company performed an evaluation of subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through September 17, 2010, the date the financial statements were available to be issued, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic No. 855-10-50, “Subsequent Events” (ASC 855-10-50).
 
Revenue Recognition: Revenue from sales of products, including amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs, is recognized at the time (1) ownership and all risks of loss have been transferred to the buyer, which is generally upon shipment, (2) the price is fixed and determinable and (3) collectability is reasonably assured. Provisions for discounts, rebates, returns and other adjustments are reflected as a reduction of revenue in the period the related sales are recorded in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification Topic No. 605, “Revenue Recognition” (ASC 605).
 
Consideration is paid to certain retailers and distributors for cooperative arrangements related to market development, training and special promotions, which are agreed upon in advance. The amount to be paid is generally in the form of a credit memoranda, which is netted against recognized revenue.
 
Software Costs: Certain costs are capitalized for software that is developed or obtained for internal use. Software costs are amortized on the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives generally ranging from three to five years. Software assets are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable over the remaining lives of the assets. Software maintenance, training, data conversion and business process reengineering costs are expensed in the period in which they were incurred.
 
Freight Costs: Freight costs are included in cost of goods sold.
 
Advertising Costs: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and approximated $1,757,000 and $2,762,000 for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
Research and Development Costs: Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and approximated $5,370,000 and $8,488,000 for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
Foreign Currency Translation: The assets and liabilities of the Company's international operations are generally translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the year. Foreign currency translation adjustments are not included in “net (loss) income”, but are accounted for as “other comprehensive (loss) income” and reflected as a separate component of the change in stockholders' equity.
 
At June 30, 2010 and 2009, stockholders' equity included accumulated other comprehensive losses arising from translation adjustments of approximately $3,267,067 and $689,765, respectively.
Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, except those transactions that operate as a hedge of an identifiable foreign currency commitment or as a hedge of a foreign currency investment position, are included in the results of operations as incurred. Net foreign currency transaction gains (losses) were approximately $34,203 and ($1,835,738) in the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and are included in other income in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, “Accounting

10

 

for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”, which is included in ASC 740, clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. The Company adopted, as required effective July 1, 2009, the provisions of FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FIN-48-3. ASC 740 requires the recognition of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by relevant taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. An adjustment of $348,869 was made to the beginning balance of retained earnings upon adoption of this pronouncement (see Note 6 of the consolidated financial statements).
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), now a part of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. For financial assets and liabilities, ASC 820 was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB delayed the effective date for the implementation of ASC 820 solely for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (i.e., at least annually). The new effective date is for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company has adopted ASC 820 for fiscal year 2010. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”, now a part of Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 805, “Business Combinations” (ASC 805), and SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an Amendment of ARB No. 51” now a part of Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 810, “Consolidation” (ASC 810), which changed the accounting for and reporting of business combinations and noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. ASC 810 and ASC 805 are required to be adopted simultaneously and are effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, which is the Company's fiscal year 2010. ASC 805 applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the date of adoption. ASC 810 shall be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. Generally, the effect of ASC 805 will depend on future acquisitions. However, the accounting for the resolution of any tax uncertainties remaining will be subject to the provisions of ASC 810. The adoption of ASC 805 and ASC 810 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
NOTE 2 - RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES
 
In fiscal year 2009, the Company initiated a comprehensive series of actions to lower its cost structure and further increase operational efficiency. The restructuring initiatives included office closures, head-count reductions, office consolidation and relocation, and the exit of nonstrategic product lines in certain geographies. Approximately half of the total cost of the restructuring actions is related to streamlining the European operations. The Company has reduced the overall global head count to lower costs in light of challenging global economic conditions.
 
The severance and employee benefits, exit costs and contract termination costs associated with restructuring initiatives are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 420, “Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations” (ASC 420).
 
The restructuring charges recorded in the 2010 and 2009 consolidated statements of operations consist of the following:

On March 12, 2009, the Company negotiated amendments to its bank facility and junior debt agreements. The amendments changed the maturity date of the junior debt to April 22, 2010, reduced the maximum borrowing availability on the revolving line of credit to $45 million and amended certain financial covenants for the period ended March 31, 2009 and thereafter. In connection with these amendments, the Company also entered into subordinated notes payable with certain stockholders for $3,000,000, the proceeds of which were used to pay down debt. On March 19, 2010, the Company negotiated a second amendment to its bank facility and junior debt agreements. The amendment reduced the maximum borrowing availability on the revolving line of credit to $27.5 million with a new maturity date of June 30, 2012 and amended certain financial covenants for the period ended March 31, 2010 and thereafter. The term loan was increased to $6.0 million with a new amortization schedule over an 18-month period. The junior debt was paid with the proceeds from the revolving loan and the term debt.
 
Bank Facility:
 
Revolving Loan: The Company's revolving loan is with a syndicate of banks, limited to the lesser of (1) $60.0 million less letter of credit obligations or the sum of (a) 85% of eligible accounts receivable at such time, plus (b) the lesser of (i) for the months of March through September, inclusive, of each year, 75% (and for all other months, 85%) of the eligible inventory, valued at the lower of cost or market value, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, at such time and (ii) the product of, for the months of March through September, inclusive, of each year, 85% (and for all other months, 90%) multiplied by the Net Orderly Liquidation Value percentage identified in the most recent inventory appraisal ordered by the administrative agent multiplied by the eligible inventory, valued at the lower of cost or market value, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, at such time, minus (c) reserves. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had a $500,000 letter of credit related to leased office space. There are no other letter-of-credit obligations as of June 30, 2010. Interest rates and payment dates are variable based upon interest rate and term options selected by management. The interest rate at June 30, 2010 on outstanding revolving credit borrowings was 4.50% (prime plus 1.25% spread). At June 30, 2010, the Company had $23.5 million of available borrowings under its revolving loan.
 
Term Loan: The Company's term loan was initially for a period of two years and required monthly principal payments of $138,889. The March 19, 2010 amendment changed the term loan amount to $6.0 million. The amendment extended the maturity date of the loan to October 1, 2011, or a period of 18 months, and requires monthly principal payments of $250,000, plus an additional five quarterly payments of $300,000 beginning September 1, 2010. The Company is permitted to make prepayments up to $2.0 million. The interest rate is variable based upon interest rate and term options selected by management. The interest rate at June 30, 2010 was 6.75% (prime plus 3.50% spread) on outstanding term borrowings.
 
Substantially all of the Company's assets serve as collateral for the bank credit facility. The agreement requires the Company to maintain various quarterly and annual covenants. As of June 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants.

The difference between the Company's effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate is primarily the result of changes in the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. The Company records a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. As of June 30, 2010, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its foreign net operating loss carryforwards and a partial valuation allowance against its tax credit carryforwards amounting to approximately $1,504,000 and $575,000, respectively. The Company carried back fiscal year 2009 federal taxable loss of approximately $8,875,000, which resulted in an income tax receivable of approximately $3,061,000. During the year ended June 30, 2010, the Company utilized approximately $9,196,000 of its previously accumulated federal net operating loss carryforwards.

14

 

The foregoing resulted in the change to the valuation allowance in 2010.
 
As of June 30, 2010, the Company had (1) foreign net operating loss carryforwards, which do not expire, amounting to approximately $1,504,000, and (2) foreign tax credits, which expire ten years from the tax year when originated, of approximately $4,817,455. In general, it is the practice and intention of the Company to reinvest the undistributed earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries. Should the Company repatriate undistributed earnings, such amounts become subject to U.S. taxation giving recognition to tax expense and foreign tax credits.
 
During 2010, an adjustment was recorded by the Company to account for a deferred tax liability that existed at the acquisition date (August 2006) of its Canadian subsidiary. Accordingly, an adjustment was recorded as of June 30, 2010 to increase deferred tax liability $658,000 and increase goodwill $890,000 with a corresponding income tax benefit of $232,000.
 
The Company's uncertain tax positions are recorded in accordance with ASC 740. The provisions of ASC 740 regarding uncertain tax positions became effective for the Company on July 1, 2010 and require the recognition of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by relevant taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. As a result, the adoption of ASC 740 decreased the July 1, 2010 retained earnings by $348,869.

Future amortization expense for each of the next five years is estimated to be approximately $465,000 per year. During fiscal year 2010, in an effort to consolidate product lines, the Company decided to discontinue the Athena brand products. This was considered a triggering event and required the testing for impairment of the carrying value of the Athena trademark    . As a result of this testing, the Company recorded a trademark impairment charge of $791,566. This charge was based on the excess of carrying value over the estimated fair value. At June 30, 2010, the trademark impairment charge is reflected as a decrease in the carrying value of the trademarks in the consolidated balance sheet, as a charge to amortization expense in the consolidated statement of income, and had no impact to cash flows.
 
At June 30, 2010 and 2009, intangible assets not subject to amortization include the Jamo, Mirage and Energy trade names totaling $3,317,242 and $4,108,808, respectively, and goodwill related to the acquisition of API of $4,278,144.
 
NOTE 8 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
    
Preferred Stock:    
 
Conversion Features
 
The Company's preferred stock is convertible at the holders' option into common stock at a rate of 0.10 share of voting common stock and 0.90 nonvoting common stock for every 1 share of preferred stock.
 
Redemption
 
At the earlier of October 1, 2010 or the occurrence of conditions described in Section 6 of the “Major Holder Agreement,” at the election of the preferred stockholder, a process can begin that over time could cause the Company to redeem all of the outstanding shares of the preferred stock. The preferred stockholder has the right to compel the Company to initiate an orderly process for liquidity if the right is exercised. Upon completion of a required valuation, the Company shall have the option of 1) redemption of the preferred stock or 2) affect a sale of the Company.
 

15

 

Liquidation
 
In the event of the occurrence of any “liquidation event,” as defined, the Company's preferred stockholders are entitled to receive an amount per share of preferred stock held by them equal to the greater of (1) the amount the preferred stockholders would be entitled to receive on an “as-to-converted-common stock basis” or (2) the sum of (A) the $32.42 per share price and (B) all declared but unpaid dividends on the preferred stock. This amount is to be paid to the preferred stockholders prior to any amount paid to the common stockholders.
 
Voting
 
The Company's preferred stockholders are entitled to voting rights. The number of votes equals the number of shares of voting common stock into which the preferred stock held by such holder could be converted into as of the record date.
        
Receivable from Stockholders
 
At June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company had notes receivable due from certain of the Company's executives for the purchase of common stock totaling approximately $102,508 and $133,200, respectively, bearing interest at the prime rate, as defined, plus 0.50%, and maturing in December 2010. Such notes are reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity.
 
NOTE 9 - STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
During the year ended June 30, 2009, the Company approved the 2008 Stock Option Plan (the 2008 Plan) whereby 54,000 shares of non-voting common stock were authorized and reserved. The 2008 Plan is available to key employees, directors and consultants of the Company as determined by the Board of Directors. The 2008 Plan allows the holder of the option to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $14.89. The Company granted stock options under the 2008 Plan on July 1, 2008. The estimated fair market value of the Company's common stock at the date of the grant was equal to the exercise price; therefore, the Company has elected to account for its employee stock options granted under the intrinsic-value method. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for options granted to employees. Options under the 2008 Plan generally vest ratably in three years or three years or less.
 
In the event certain options are exercised, pursuant to its agreement with the preferred stockholders, the Company is obligated to purchase converted preferred stock, at a price per share equal to the exercise price of the option. The purchased preferred shares will be sold to the optionee in connection with the options.
 
The Company's stock option activity and related information is summarized as follows:

At June 30, 2010, all options outstanding were exercisable.
 
Pro forma information regarding net income is required by ASC 718, which also requires that the information be determined as if the Company has accounted for its employee stock options granted under the fair value method. The fair value of the options

16

 

under the 2008 Plan was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions:
 
Risk-free interest rate of 4.5%
a dividend year of 0%
a weighted average expected life of one year past the vesting date, and
a volatility factor of 0.01%
 
Because the Company's stock options have characteristics significantly different than those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company's employee stock options.
 
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options issued to employees is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's pro forma net income for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 would have been reduced by approximately $83,000 and $32,000, respectively, had the Company accounted for its employee stock options granted under the fair value method.
 
NOTE 10 - CONTINGENCIES
 
The Company is subject to lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal conduct of its business. In management's opinion, the ultimate outcome of the lawsuits and claims will not have an adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or the results of its operations.
 
NOTE 11 - SELF-FUNDED HEALTH INSURANCE
 
The Company has elected to self-insure certain costs related to employee health benefit programs. Costs resulting from noninsured losses are charged to income when incurred. The Company is directly liable for annual health insurance claims up to $70,000 per employee with an aggregate annual amount of approximately $1,930,000. The Company carries stop-loss insurance to limit its liability. Total health insurance expense was approximately $1,109,000 and $1,486,000 for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Report of Independent Auditors
 
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Klipsch Group, Inc.
 
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Klipsch Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Klipsch Group, Inc. and subsidiaries at June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Klipsch Group, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, certain of the Company's borrowing arrangements come due in April 2010. Management's plan with respect to renewing or extending these borrowing arrangements is also discussed in Note 2. This condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2009, do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

KLIPSCH GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Klipsch Group, Inc. (the Company) has five wholly owned subsidiaries: Klipsch, L.L.C. (Klipsch), Audio Products International, Corp. (API), Klipsch Asia/Pacific Holdings (China), Jamo Acquisition, L.L.C. (Jamo Acquisition) and Jamo Denmark ApS. The Company designs, manufactures and distributes high-quality loudspeakers for audio, multi-media and home theater applications. Klipsch conducts its European operations (primarily sales and distribution) through Klipsch Europe, B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Klipsch, which is headquartered in the Netherlands.
 
Approximately 14% of the Company's employees work under a domestic collective bargaining agreement which expires in June 2010.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
 
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from the estimated amounts.
 
Cash: Cash is maintained in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.
 
Receivables and Credit Policies: The Company grants credit to its customers, who are primarily retailers and distributors in the home electronics industry, located both domestically and internationally. Domestic accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms, which average 60 days. Certain international accounts receivable are insured up to their credit limit. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to the customer less the anticipated earned discount.
 
The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance that reflects management's best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. Management reviews all past due accounts receivable balances and, based on an assessment of the current creditworthiness, estimates the portion, if any, of the accounts that will not be collected. Additionally, management applies an estimate of the entire accounts receivable balance to compute a general allowance covering those amounts.
 
The Company has one major customer that represents 23% and 35% of the Company's accounts receivable at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Additionally, approximately 18% and 20% of the Company's net sales during the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were to one customer.
During fiscal year 2009, one of the Company's customers representing approximately 2% of 2009 net sales filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Management has evaluated the Company's outstanding receivables and established an appropriate allowance.
 
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method. Inventories consisted of the following at June 30:

The Company periodically evaluates inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence. This evaluation includes analyses of sales

levels by product and projections of future demand. If future demand or market conditions are less favorable than the Company's projections, inventory write-downs may be required.
 
The Company is dependent on six major vendors for the outsourced production of its inventory. A loss of one of these vendors or disruption in the supply of the product could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results. These suppliers have provided extended payment terms to the Company. To the extent these terms are changed or terminated, there could be a material impact to the Company.
 
Product Warranties: The Company has provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranties which are recorded at the time the products are sold. Estimates for warranty costs are calculated based primarily upon historical warranty experience, but may include assumptions related to anticipated changes in warranty costs and failure rates.
 
Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost and includes expenditures for new facilities, equipment and improvements that materially extend the useful lives of existing assets. Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
    
Buildings and improvements
5-40 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
3-15 years
 
Intangible Assets: Intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis as follows:
 
  
  Custom Craft trade name
15 years
    Patents
10-16 years
    Customer list/distribution channel
12-15 years
    Non-compete agreement
Term of agreement
 
The trade names acquired in connection with Jamo and API have indefinite lives and, therefore, are not being amortized.
 
Goodwill: Goodwill, which represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired, is tested for impairment annually or whenever an event occurs or circumstances indicate the carrying amount is impaired. Impairment testing is performed at a reporting unit level. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the fair value of the goodwill within the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. To date, there has been no impairment of goodwill.
 
Long-lived Assets: The Company evaluates long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and certain intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amount to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the related asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the assets.
 
Stock Options: In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)), which requires companies to recognize the grant date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees in their income statements.
 
Income Taxes: Income taxes are provided based upon income reported for financial statement purposes. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax effect of temporary differences between financial and taxable income and 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 bases. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period of enactment.
 
Revenue Recognition: Revenue from sales of products, including amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs, is recognized at the time (1) ownership and all risks of loss have been transferred to the buyer, which is generally upon shipment, (2) the price is fixed and determinable and (3) collectability is reasonably assured. Provisions for discounts, rebates, returns and other adjustments are reflected as a reduction of revenue in the period the related sales are recorded.

Freight Costs: Freight costs are included in cost of goods sold.
 
Advertising Costs: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and approximated $2,762,000 and $5,903,000 for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Research and Development Costs: Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and approximated $8,488,000 and $12,080,000 for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Foreign Currency Translation: The assets and liabilities of the Company's international operations are generally translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the year. Foreign currency translation adjustments are not included in “net (loss) income,” but are accounted for as “other comprehensive (loss) income” and reflected as a separate component of the change in stockholders' equity. At June 30, 2009 and 2008, stockholders' equity included accumulated other comprehensive (losses) and gains arising from translation adjustments of ($690,000) and $1,600,000, respectively.
 
Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, except those transactions which operate as a hedge of an identifiable foreign currency commitment or as a hedge of a foreign currency investment position, are included in the results of operations as incurred. Net foreign currency transaction (losses) and gains were ($1,836,000) and $2,114,000 in the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and are included in other income in the consolidated statements of income.
 
Variable Interest Entities: The Company has evaluated its interests in other entities and management has determined that the Company does not interact with a variable interest entity in which the Company would be considered the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the Company is not required to consolidate any other entities in its consolidated financial statements pursuant to FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. On December 30, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FIN 48-3, Effective Date of FASB Interpretation No. 48 for Certain Nonpublic Enterprises. This FSP further delays the effective date of FIN 48 for the Company to July 1, 2009, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. This Interpretation requires the recognition of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by relevant taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. For financial assets and liabilities, SFAS 157 was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 as of July 1, 2008, for financial instruments. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-2, which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 one year for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. FSP 157-2 is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP 157-2 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)), and SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an Amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160), which changed the accounting for and reporting of business combinations and noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 are required to be adopted simultaneously and are effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, which is the Company's fiscal year 2010. Earlier adoption is prohibited. SFAS 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the date of adoption. SFAS 160 shall be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. Generally, the effect of SFAS 141(R) will depend on future acquisitions. However, the accounting for the resolution of any tax uncertainties remaining will be subject to the provisions of SFAS 141(R). The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 141(R) or SFAS 160 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for

10
 

 

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133). SFAS 161 requires entities to provide greater transparency about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. To meet those objectives, SFAS 161 requires (1) qualitative disclosures about objectives for using derivatives by primary underlying risk exposure (e.g., interest rate, credit or foreign exchange rate) and by purpose or strategy (fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, net investment hedge and non-hedges); (2) information about the volume of derivative activity in a flexible format that the preparer believes is the most relevant and practicable; (3) tabular disclosures about balance sheet location and gross fair value amounts of derivative instruments, income statement and other comprehensive income location and amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments by type of contract (e.g., interest rate contracts, credit contracts or foreign exchange contracts); and (4) disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. Comparative disclosures for earlier periods are not required. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, which is the Company's fiscal year 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS 165). This statement requires the Company to disclose the date through which subsequent events are evaluated, as well as whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or the date the financial statements were available to be issued. The provisions of SFAS 165 were effective for the Company June 30, 2009. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through September 23, 2009.
 
 
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY AND MANAGEMENT'S PLAN
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared on a basis of the Company continuing as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4, the Company's bank and junior debt arrangements mature on April 22, 2010. The Company's ability to refinance, or extend, these obligations will be dependent on a number of factors, including the Company's ability to borrow funds from the same or alternative lenders in a difficult lending environment, the Company's ability to forecast and generate cash flow from future operations, and the Company's ability to structure alternative capital transactions with third parties, if necessary. The Company has commenced discussions with its lenders and believes that refinancing these agreements is obtainable. Given the current credit market environment, the outcome of the refinancing is uncertain and under what terms. A refinancing is required in order for the Company to meet its April 22, 2010, debt obligations. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2009, do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
 
NOTE 3 - RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES
 
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company initiated a comprehensive series of actions to lower its cost structure and further increase operational efficiency. The restructuring activities in 2009 resulted in pretax charges of $5,723,842, primarily related to employee severance and contract termination costs. At June 30, 2009, approximately $577,000 is accrued, which is expected to be paid out during fiscal 2010 and 2011. The Company expects to incur additional restructuring costs in 2010 related to employee severance of approximately $660,000.
 
The restructuring initiatives include office closures, head-count reductions, office consolidation and relocation, and the exit of non-strategic product lines in certain geographies. Approximately half of the total cost of the restructuring actions is related to streamlining the European operations. The Company has reduced the overall global headcount to lower costs in light of challenging global economic conditions.
 
The severance and employee benefits, exit costs and contract termination costs associated with restructuring initiatives are primarily accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146).
  
The restructuring charges recorded in the 2009 consolidated statement of operations consist of the following:

On March 12, 2009, the Company negotiated amendments to its bank facility and junior debt agreements. The Company also received a waiver of events of default under these agreements related to the Company's noncompliance with certain financial and non-financial covenants as of December 31, 2008. The amendments also changed the maturity date of the junior debt to April 22, 2010, reduced the maximum borrowing availability on the revolving line of credit to $45 million, and amended certain financial covenants for the period ended March 31, 2009 and thereafter. In connection with these amendments, the Company also entered into subordinated notes payable with certain stockholders for $3,000,000, the proceeds of which were used to pay down debt.
 
Bank Facility:
 
Revolving Loan: On April 22, 2008, the Company entered into a credit facility with a syndicate of banks, limited to the lesser of (1) $60 million less letter-of-credit obligations or the sum of (a) 85% of eligible accounts receivable at such time, plus (b) the lesser of (i) for the months of March through September, inclusive, of each year, 75% (and for all other months 85%) of the eligible inventory, valued at the lower of cost or market value, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, at such time, and (ii) the product of, for the months of March through September, inclusive, of each year, 85% (and for all other months 90%) multiplied by the Net Orderly Liquidation Value percentage identified in the most recent inventory appraisal ordered by the administrative agent multiplied by the eligible inventory, valued at the lower of cost or market value, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, at such time, minus (c) reserves. The March 12, 2009 amendment changed the maximum availability on the revolving line-of-credit to $45 million. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had a $500,000 letter of credit related to leased office space. There are no other letter of credit obligations as of June 30, 2009. The credit facility matures April 22, 2010. Interest rates and payment dates are variable based upon interest rate and term options selected by management. The interest rate at June 30, 2009, on outstanding revolving credit borrowing was 4.50% (prime plus 1.25% spread). At June 30, 2009, the Company had $6,318,000 of available borrowings under its revolving loan.
Term Loan: A $5.0 million term loan was entered into on April 22, 2008. The loan is for a period of two years and requires monthly principal payments of $138,889. The interest rate is variable based upon interest rate and term options selected by management. The interest rate at June 30, 2009, was 5.50% (prime plus 2.25% spread) on outstanding term borrowing.
 
Junior Debt:
 
On April 22, 2008, the Company entered into a credit agreement with LBC Credit Partners, L.P. in the total amount of $12 million. Interest is computed at a variable interest rate, as defined by the agreement (14.5% at June 30, 2009) and is usually due monthly unless tied to a LIBOR contract. The loan requires interest-only payments. The March 12, 2009, amendment changed the maturity date to April 22, 2010.

Combined Bank Facility and Junior Debt:
 
Substantially all of the Company's assets serve as collateral     for the revolving, term and junior debt agreements. These agreements require the Company to maintain various quarterly and annual covenants. As of June 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants.
 
Subordinated Bank Debt:
 
At June 30, 2008, the Company had a subordinated note payable to a bank totaling $3,000,000. On November 21, 2008, the loan was paid in full with funds borrowed from the holder of the Company's preferred stock.

At June 30, 2009, the Company had a domestic net operating loss carryforward of $16,636,000, a Danish net operating loss carryforward of $7,995,000 and a Canadian net operating loss carryforward of $674,000 available to offset future taxable income. The domestic carryforwards relate to the Company's U.S. operations and expire between 2027 and 2029. The Danish and Canadian carryforwards do not expire.
 
The Company follows the requirements of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109), in connection with recording income tax related amounts. In respect to the valuation allowance, SFAS 109 requires an evaluation of the realizability of the net deferred tax assets by jurisdiction. Such net assets include the net operating losses and temporary differences reported for financial and tax purposes. As discussed and presented elsewhere in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes, the Company's 2009 operating results were significantly impacted for restructuring activities, asset write-downs and foreign currency losses. SFAS 109 requires an evaluation of positive and negative evidence in respect to establishing a valuation allowance. Recent pretax cumulative financial reporting losses constituting negative evidence must be pervasively overcome by positive evidence to preclude the need for providing a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company increased the valuation allowance by $12,975,494 for the year ended June 30, 2009.
 
API was acquired by the Company in fiscal year 2007. At the date of acquisition, the Company recognized deferred tax assets related to net operating losses generated in Canada. During the current fiscal year, additional net operating losses of API were identified that existed as of the acquisition date, which were realized by the Company during fiscal year 2008. Accordingly, a reclassification adjustment was recorded as of June 30, 2008, to increase deferred tax assets to $7,716,561 and decrease goodwill to $3,388,144.

NOTE 9 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
    
Preferred Stock:    
 
Conversion Features
 
The Company's preferred stock is convertible at the holders' option into common stock at a rate of 0.10 share of voting common stock and 0.90 nonvoting common stock for every 1 share of preferred stock.
During 2008, 18,480 shares of preferred stock valued at $32.42 per share were converted into 1,848 shares of voting common stock and 16,632 shares of nonvoting common stock.
 
Redemption
 
At the earlier of December 31, 2009, or the occurrence of conditions described in Section 6 of the “Major Holder Agreement,” at the election of the preferred stockholder, the Company may be required to redeem all of the outstanding shares of the preferred stock. The Company is obligated to pay the preferred stockholders
a redemption price which is the greater of (1) the original issue price plus the amount equal to all declared and unpaid dividends or (2) the appraised value of the preferred stock. Fifty percent of the redemption price is paid in immediately available funds, with the remaining 50% due one year later. In accordance with Section 6(a) of the Company's Articles of Incorporation, if the funds legally available for redemption of the preferred stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full respective redemption price, the Company shall effect the sale of the Company to a third party who is not a current stockholder; provided, however, the Company may continue to seek additional financing during such period, provided that such efforts do not unreasonably interfere with the efforts to effect the sale of the Company. The preferred stockholder cannot force the Company into liquidation.
 
Liquidation
 
In the event of the occurrence of any “liquidation event,” as defined, the Company's preferred stockholders are entitled to receive an amount per share of preferred stock held by them equal to the greater of (1) the amount the preferred stockholders would be entitled to receive on an “as-to-converted-common stock basis” and (2) the sum of (A) the $32.42 per share price and (B) all declared but unpaid dividends on the preferred stock. This amount is to be paid to the preferred stockholders prior to any amount paid to the common stockholders.
 
Voting
 
The Company's preferred stockholders are entitled to voting rights. The number of votes equals the number of shares of voting common stock into which the preferred stock held by such holder could be converted into as of the record date.
Receivable from Stockholders
 
At June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had notes receivable due from certain of the Company's executives for the purchase of common stock totaling $133,200 and $162,609, respectively, bearing interest at the prime rate, as defined, plus 0.50%, and maturing in December 2010. Such notes are reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity.

NOTE 10 - STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company approved the 2005-1 Stock Option Plan (the Plan) whereby 145,055 shares of nonvoting common stock and 16,118 shares of voting common stock were authorized and reserved. The Plan is available to key employees, directors and consultants of the Company, as determined by the Board of Directors. The Plan allows the holder of the option to purchase common stock at the exercise price. The Company granted stock options at an exercise price equal to the estimated fair market value of the Company's common stock at the time of grant. Therefore, the Company has elected to account for its employee stock options granted under the intrinsic-value method. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for options granted to employees. Options under the Plan generally vest ratably in less than three years.
 
The Company's stock option activity and related information is summarized as follows:

Options available for grant at year-end
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
At June 30, 2009, all options outstanding were exercisable at an exercise price of $32.42. No options have been exercised since the beginning of the Plan.
 
Pro forma information regarding net income is required by SFAS No. 123(R), which also requires that the information be determined as if the Company has accounted for its employee stock options granted under the fair value method. The fair value of the options under the Plan was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
 
Risk-free interest rate of 4.0% in 2005,
a dividend year of 0% in 2005,
a weighted-average expected life of one year past the vesting date, and
a volatility factor of 0.01% for 2005
 
Because the Company's stock options have characteristics significantly different than those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company's employee stock options.
 
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options issued to employees during 2005 is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's pro forma net income for the year ended June 30, 2008, would have been reduced by approximately $29,764, had the Company accounted for its employee stock options granted under the fair value method. There was no impact to 2009.
 
 
NOTE 11 - CONTINGENCIES
 
The Company is subject to lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal conduct of its business. In management's opinion, the ultimate outcome of the lawsuits and claims will not have an adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or the results of its operations.
 
 
NOTE 12 - SELF-FUNDED HEALTH INSURANCE
 
The Company has elected to self-insure certain costs related to employee health benefit programs. Costs resulting from noninsured losses are charged to income when incurred. The Company is directly liable for annual health insurance claims up to $70,000 per

17
 

 

employee, with an aggregate annual amount of approximately $1,930,000. The Company carries stop-loss insurance to limit its liability. Total health insurance expense net of reimbursements was $1,486,000 and $1,336,000 for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
 
NOTE 13 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
In September 2009, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with a Canadian partnership to represent and distribute Klipsch Group, Inc. products exclusively in Canada. Prior to this arrangement, the Company's products were sold directly to Canadian dealers and contractors. This change was part of a strategic initiative to reduce the overall cost of doing business in Canada.

KLIPSCH GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Description of Business: Klipsch Group, Inc. (the Company) has four wholly owned subsidiaries: Klipsch, L.L.C. (Klipsch), Audio Products International, Corp. (API), Klipsch Asia/Pacific Holdings (China), and Jamo US (Jamo). The Company designs, manufactures and distributes high-quality loudspeakers for audio, multi-media and home theater applications. The Company's subsidiary in China is nonoperational. Klipsch conducts its European operations (primarily sales and distribution) through Klipsch Europe, B.V., a wholly -owned subsidiary of Klipsch, which is headquartered in the Netherlands.
 
Basis of Presentation: The Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Klipsch Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Reference to the Company throughout this report relates to the consolidated entity.
 
The interim financial statements for the eight months ended February 28, 2011 and 2010 are unaudited and have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have not been reviewed by the Company's independent accountants. The financial statements contained in this report do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited information includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial statements. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained within this Form 8-K/A.
 
Receivables and Credit Polices: The Company grants credit to its customers, who are primarily retailers and distributors in the home electronics industry, located both domestically and internationally. Domestic accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms, which average 60 days. Certain international accounts receivable are insured up to their credit limit. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to the customer less the anticipated earned discount.
 
The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance that reflects management's best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. Management reviews all past due accounts receivable balances, and, based on an assessment of the current creditworthiness, estimates the portion, if any, of the accounts that will not be collected. Additionally, management applies an estimate of the entire accounts receivable balance to compute a general allowance covering those amounts.
 
The Company had one major customer that represented 25% of the Company's accounts receivable at February 28, 2011. Additionally, approximately 21% and 27% of the Company's net sales during the eight months ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were to one customer.
 
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method. Inventories consisted of the following at February 28, 2011:
 
Finished goods
 
$
24,876,395
 
Work in process
 
256,403
 
Raw materials
 
4,952,073
 
Supplies
 
82,048
 
 
 
$
30,166,919
 
 
The Company periodically evaluates its inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence. This evaluation includes analyses of sales levels by product and projections of future demand. If future demand or market conditions are less favorable than the Company's projections, inventory write-downs may be required.
 
The Company is dependent on six major vendors for the outsourced production of its inventory. A loss of one of these vendors or disruption in the supply of the product could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results. These suppliers

have provided extended payment terms to the Company. To the extent these terms are changed or terminated, there could be a material impact to the Company.
 
 
NOTE 2 - DEBT AND CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS

Revolving loan

On March 12, 2009, the Company negotiated amendments to its bank facility and junior debt agreements. The amendments changed the maturity date of the junior debt to April 22, 2010, reduced the maximum borrowing availability on the revolving line of credit to $45 million and amended certain financial covenants for the period ended March 31, 2009 and thereafter. In connection with these amendments, the Company also entered into subordinated notes payable with certain stockholders for $3,000,000, the proceeds of which were used to pay down debt. On March 19, 2010, the Company negotiated a second amendment to its bank facility and junior debt agreements. The amendment reduced the maximum borrowing availability on the revolving line of credit to $27.5 million with a new maturity date of June 30, 2012 and amended certain financial covenants for the period ended March 31, 2010 and thereafter. The term loan was increased to $6.0 million with a new amortization schedule over an 18-month period. The junior debt was paid with the proceeds from the revolving loan and the term debt.
 
Bank Facility:
 
Revolving Loan: The Company's revolving loan is with a syndicate of banks, limited to the lesser of (1) $60 million less letter of credit obligations or the sum of (a) 85% of eligible accounts receivable at such time, plus (b) the lesser of (i) for the months of March through September, inclusive, of each year, 75% (and for all other months, 85%) of the eligible inventory, valued at the lower of cost or market value, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, at such time and (ii) the product of, for the months of March through September, inclusive, of each year, 85% (and for all other months, 90%) multiplied by the Net Orderly Liquidation Value percentage identified in the most recent inventory appraisal ordered by the administrative agent multiplied by the eligible inventory, valued at the lower of cost or market value, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, at such time, minus (c) reserves. As of February 28, 2011, the Company had a $500,000 letter of credit related to leased office space. There are no other letter-of-credit obligations as of February 28, 2011. Interest rates and payment dates are variable based upon interest rate and term options selected by management. The interest rate at February 28, 2011 on outstanding revolving credit borrowings was 4.50% (prime plus 1.25% spread). At February 28, 2011, the Company had $23.5 million of available borrowings under its revolving loan.
 
Term Loan: The Company's term loan was initially for a period of two years and required monthly principal payments of $138,889. The March 19, 2010 amendment changed the term loan amount to $6.0 million. The amendment extended the maturity date of the loan to October 1, 2011, or a period of 18 months, and requires monthly principal payments of $250,000, plus an additional five quarterly payments of $300,000 beginning September 1, 2010. The Company is permitted to make prepayments up to $2.0 million. The interest rate is variable based upon interest rate and term options selected by management. The interest rate at February 28, 2011 was 6.75% (prime plus 3.50% spread) on outstanding term borrowings.
 
Substantially all of the Company's assets serve as collateral for the bank credit facility. The agreement requires the Company to maintain various quarterly and annual covenants. As of February 28, 2011, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants.
 
The Company has notes payable to related parties as of February 28, 2011. Principal and unpaid interest is due on these notes payable on September 30, 2012. Related party notes consist of the following at February 28, 2011:

Due to certain stockholders (3.25% - 10.00%)
 
$
6,000,000
 
Due to preferred stockholder (3.25% )
 
3,000,000
 
 
 
$
9,000,000
 
 
The Company expensed interest on related party notes payable totaling approximately $843,306 and $1,159,016 for the eight months ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
 
NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES
 
The Company's provision for income taxes consists of U.S. and foreign taxes in amounts necessary to align the Company's year-to-date provision for income taxes with the effective tax rate that the Company expects to achieve for the full year.
 
For the eight months ended February 28, 2011, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $5,279,712 which consisted of U.S federal, state and local and foreign taxes. The difference between the Company's effective tax rate and statutory tax rate is primarily related to the impact of state and local taxes and the resolution of various foreign tax jurisdictional items in connection with the filing of various foreign tax returns.
 
For the eight months ended February 28, 2010, the Company recorded a benefit for income taxes of $7,285,221 which consisted of U.S federal, state and local and foreign taxes.  The difference between the Company's effective tax rate and statutory tax rate is primarily related to the reversal of the Company's valuation allowance as its deferred tax assets became realizable on a more-likely-than-not basis based on current operating results and forecasts of earnings coupled with the Company's ability to carryback taxable losses generated in Fiscal 2009 as permitted by the Worker Home Ownership and Business Assistance Act of 2009.

During fiscal year 2010, in an effort to consolidate product lines, the Company decided to discontinue the Athena brand products. This was considered a triggering event and required the testing for impairment of the carrying value of the Athena trademark. As a result of this testing, the Company recorded a trademark impairment charge of $791,566. This charge was based on the excess of carrying value over the estimated fair value. The trademark impairment charge is reflected as a decrease in the carrying value of the trademarks in the consolidated balance sheet at February 28, 2011.
 
At February 28, 2011, intangible assets not subject to amortization include the Jamo, Mirage and Energy trade names totaling $3,317,242 and goodwill related to the acquisition of API of $4,278,144.
 
 
NOTE 5 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
    
Preferred Stock:    
 
Conversion Features
 

9

 

The Company's preferred stock is convertible at the holders' option into common stock at a rate of 0.10 share of voting common stock and 0.90 non-voting common stock for every 1 share of preferred stock.
 
Redemption
 
At the earlier of October 1, 2010 or the occurrence of conditions described in Section 6 of the “Major Holder Agreement,” at the election of the preferred stockholder, a process can begin that over time could cause the Company to redeem all of the outstanding shares of the preferred stock. The preferred stockholder has the right to compel the Company to initiate an orderly process for liquidity if the right is exercised. Upon completion of a required valuation, the Company shall have the option of 1) redemption of the preferred stock or 2) affect a sale of the Company.
 
Liquidation
 
In the event of the occurrence of any “liquidation event,” as defined, the Company's preferred stockholders are entitled to receive an amount per share of preferred stock held by them equal to the greater of (1) the amount the preferred stockholders would be entitled to receive on an “as-to- converted-common stock basis” or (2) the sum of (A) the $32.42 per share price and (B) all declared but unpaid dividends on the preferred stock.
    
This amount is to be paid to the preferred stockholders prior to any amount paid to the common stockholders.
 
Voting
 
The Company's preferred stockholders are entitled to voting rights. The number of votes equals the number of shares of voting common stock into which the preferred stock held by such holder could be converted into as of the record date.
        
Receivable from Stockholders
 
At February 28, 2011, the Company had notes receivable due from certain of the Company's executives for the purchase of common stock totaling approximately $80,837, bearing interest at the prime rate, as defined, plus 0.50%, which were due in December 2010. Such notes are reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity.
 
 
NOTE 6 - STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
During the year ended June 30, 2009, the Company approved the 2008 Stock Option Plan (the 2008 Plan) whereby 54,000 shares of non-voting common stock were authorized and reserved. The 2008 Plan is available to key employees, directors and consultants of the Company as determined by the Board of Directors. The 2008 Plan allows the holder of the option to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $14.89. The Company granted stock options under the 2008 Plan on July 1, 2008. The estimated fair market value of the Company's common stock at the date of the grant was equal to the exercise price; therefore, the Company has elected to account for its employee stock options granted under the intrinsic-value method. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for options granted to employees. Options under the 2008 Plan generally vest ratably in three years or three years or less.
 
In the event certain options are exercised, pursuant to its agreement with the preferred stockholders, the Company is obligated to purchase converted preferred stock, at a price per share equal to the exercise price of the option. The purchased preferred shares will be sold to the optionee in connection with the options.
 
The Company's stock option activity and related information is summarized as follows:

NOTE 7 - CONTINGENCIES
 
The Company is subject to lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal conduct of its business. In management's opinion, the ultimate outcome of the lawsuits and claims will not have an adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or the results of its operations.
 
 
NOTE 8- SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
On March 1, 2011, the Company was acquired by Audiovox Corporation and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Audiovox.

AUDIOVOX CORPORATION
 
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
All amounts presented are in thousands (unless otherwise indicated) except share and per share data.
 
On March 1, 2011, Soundtech, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Audiovox Corporation (the “Company” or” “Audiovox”) completed its acquisition (“Acquisition”) of Klipsch Group, Inc. and its worldwide subsidiaries (“Klipsch”) pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) for a total purchase price of $167.6 million, which consisted of a purchase price of $166 million plus a working capital adjustment of $1.6 million, (the “Purchase Price”) plus related transaction fees and expenses.  The Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of Klipsch from the former stockholders.
 
On March 1, 2011, Audiovox, as Parent, and certain of its directly and indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with, Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“Wells Fargo”) as Administrative Agent and Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner, and the other lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") of up to $175 million (the "Maximum Credit"). This amount may be increased at the option of the Company up to a maximum of $200 million.
 
Generally, the Company may designate specific borrowings under the Credit Facility as either Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, except that Swing Loans may only be designated as Base Rate Loans. Loans designated as LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the then applicable LIBOR rate plus a range of 2.25 - 2.75% based on excess availability in the borrowing base. Loans designated as Base Rate loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25 - 1.75% based on excess availability in the borrowing base.
 
This Acquisition was financed through a combination of existing Audiovox cash and approximately $89 million of borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
 
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 Audiovox and Klipsch 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 28, 2011 is presented as if the Acquisition had occurred on February 28, 2011.  The unaudited pro forma combined statements of income for the year ended February 28, 2011, is presented as if the Acquisition had occurred on March 1, 2010 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 805-10 topic for “Business Combinations” (formerly referred to as FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R).  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 Audiovox's historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2011, the historical consolidated financial statements of Klipsch for the years ended June 30, 2010, 2009, and 2008 (Exhibit 99.2 to 99.3 to this Form 8-K/A), the historical unaudited consolidated financial statements of Klipsch as of and for the eight months ended

February 28, 2011 (Exhibit 99.4 to this Form 8-K/A) and other information pertaining to Audiovox and Klipsch contained in this Form 8-K/A.
 
For ease of reference, all pro forma financial statements are based on Audiovox's fiscal year end.

Audiovox Corporation
Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(In thousands, unless otherwise indicated)
 
 
1. Description of Transaction
 
On March 1, 2011, Audiovox, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Soundtech, LLC., completed its acquisition of Klipsch, a global provider of high-quality loudspeakers for audio, multi-media and home theater applications, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for $167.6 million in cash, on a cash free basis, subject to certain adjustments. 
 
This Acquisition was financed through a combination of existing Audiovox cash and approximately $89 million of borrowings under the Credit Facility.
 
The terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Credit Agreement were previously described in Audiovox's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7, 2011 (the “Original 8-K”) and such description of the Purchase Agreement is incorporated herein by reference.  Such description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the the Form 10-K filed on May 16, 2011.
 
 
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 financial statements of Audiovox and Klipsch as of February 28, 2011 and for the year then ended. 
 
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of February 28, 2011 is presented as if the acquisition of Klipsch had occurred on February 28, 2011. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of income for the year ended February 28, 2011, is presented as if the Acquisition had occurred on March 1, 2010. 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 Audiovox.  Financial statements and reported results of operations of Audiovox 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 Klipsch 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 Audiovox or Klipsch. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements reflect no restructuring and integration charges that may be incurred in connection with the acquisition.
 
Certain immaterial reclasses were made to the overall presentation of the Klipsch financial statements to conform to Audiovox's presentation.
 
 
3. Accounting Policies
 
Audiovox 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 Audiovox in the acquisition of Klipsch, reconciled to the consideration transferred, are provided below:

The above table summarizes on a preliminary basis, the allocation of the purchase price of Klipsch 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 record the cash portion of the acquisition consideration of $78.5 million and to record the elimination of Klipsch's cash as the acquisition was done on a cash free basis.
 
b)
Audiovox performed a fair value assessment for property, plant and equipment, which, on a preliminary basis, increased the book value by approximately $500. The resulting fair value adjustments attributable to property, plant and equipment will increase depreciation expense by approximately $17 and have been reported as adjustments to cost of sales.
 
The estimated fair value and the estimated useful lives of each class of asset are summarized on the table below:

These valuations and estimated useful lives are preliminary and subject to change.
 
c)
To record estimated acquisition goodwill of $61.4 million and to eliminate historical goodwill of Klipsch of $4.3

9

 

million. 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 Federal or state tax purposes.

To record the estimated fair value of the intangibles acquired of $81.1 million and to eliminate historical intangible assets of Klipsch of $8.2 million. To determine the estimated fair value of intangibles acquired, Audiovox 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:

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 preliminary fair value for the non-compete agreements was valued based on a discounted “income approach” model including estimated financial results with and without the non-compete agreements in place.  The agreements were analyzed based on the potential impact competition from certain individuals could have on the financial results of the Company, assuming the agreements were not in place.  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.
 
e)
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 amortization expense for intangible assets recorded by Klipsch, as follows:

To eliminate certain Klipsch debt outstanding at the time of acquisition and recognize debt incurred in connection with the Klipsch acquisition.
 
In connection with the Klipsch acquisition, as stated above, Audiovox borrowed $89.1 million under the Credit Agreement on March 1, 2011 and used the proceeds from such borrowing to complete its acquisition of Klipsch.
 
Klipsch's previous outstanding debt has been repurchased and/or redeemed in connection with the acquisition.
 
g)
To capitalize debt issuance costs incurred for the Klipsch acquisition, which is expected to be amortized and recorded to interest expense, on a straight-line basis over the life of the Credit Agreement.
 
h)
To eliminate interest expense recorded by Klipsch and to recognize the cost of debt incurred by Audiovox in connection with the Credit Agreement, as follows:

For the purposes of the proforma adjustment, interest expense was calculated assuming an interest rate of 2.78%, which approximates the average LIBOR rate plus a 2.5% spread for the twelve-month period ended February 28, 2011.
 
i)
Klipsch incurred certain costs, including legal, accounting and tax consulting expenses relating to the sale of the business to Audiovox and were expensed as incurred and approximated $203 during the year ended February 28, 2011.
 
Audiovox's acquisition related costs, consisting of legal, accounting, tax consulting and due diligence were expensed as incurred and approximated $ 989 during the year ended February 28, 2011. In addition, the Company paid Wells Fargo a contingent fee of approximately $1.24 million for investment banking services that will be expensed by the Company on March 1, 2011, which has not been reflected in the proforma financial statements.
 
j)
Audiovox has estimated an incremental 39% tax rate in assessing the tax impact of the combination of Klipsch with Audiovox.  The effective tax rate and tax accounts in the balance sheet of the combined company could be significantly different (either higher or lower) depending on post-acquisition activities, including tax planning opportunities, cash repatriation decisions and geographic mix of income.
 
k)
To record the deferred tax liability for the book value increase to fair value of amortizable intangibles and fixed assets, which are nondeductible for tax purposes.
 
l)
To eliminate stockholders' equity of Klipsch as of the date of the acquisition.
