Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries ("Voxx" or the "Company") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented. The results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any interim period. These consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2016. Certain amounts in the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

We operate in three reportable segments, Automotive, Premium Audio and Consumer Accessories. See Note 21 for the Company's segment reporting disclosures.

(2) Acquisitions

EyeLock

Effective September 1, 2015 ("the Closing Date"), Voxx completed its acquisition of a 54% voting equity interest in substantially all of the assets and certain specified liabilities of Eyelock, Inc. and Eyelock Corporation (collectively the “Seller”), a market leader of iris-based identity authentication solutions, through a newly-formed entity, Eyelock LLC. Eyelock LLC acquired substantially all of the assets and certain specified liabilities of the Seller for a total purchase consideration of $31,880, which consisted of a cash payment of $15,504, assignment of the fair value of the indebtedness owed to the Company by the Seller of $4,676 and the fair value of the non-controlling interest of $12,900, reduced by $1,200 for amounts owed to the LLC by the selling shareholders. Additionally, units in Eyelock LLC were issued to certain executives of EyeLock LLC. The fair value of these units is recorded as compensation expense over the requisite service period of two years. This acquisition allows the Company to enter into the growing biometrics market. The fair value of the non-controlling interest was determined, with the assistance of a third party valuation expert, by grossing up the consideration transferred for the controlling interest by the voting equity interest percentage (adjusted for certain distribution thresholds required until a return of capital is achieved). The Company considered all the rights and preferences of the different classes of security holders and determined that there was no evidence of any disproportionate allocation of cash flow between the controlling and non-controlling interest at the date of acquisition. The adjusted controlling interest percentage in the fair value calculation amounted to 61%. The non-controlling interest of $12,900, valued at 39%, did not contain any further discount for lack of control. The Company believes the bargain gain implied in the transaction would eliminate any further discount for lack of control.

In connection with the closing, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Eyelock LLC. The terms of the loan agreement allowed Eyelock LLC to borrow up to $12,000 at an interest rate of 10%. During the second and third quarters of Fiscal 2017, the Company issued two convertible promissory notes to EyeLock LLC, allowing the entity to borrow up to a total of $12,000 in additional funds. The outstanding principal balance of these two promissory notes are convertible at the sole option of Voxx into units of EyeLock LLC. The convertible promissory notes bear interest at 10%, and can be used for working capital purposes related to new business opportunities. If Voxx chooses not to convert into equity, the outstanding loan principal will be repaid at a multiple ranging from 1.35 to 1.45 based on the repayment date. Amounts outstanding under the first loan agreement, as well as the convertible promissory note executed during the second quarter of Fiscal 2017 are due on September 1, 2017, while the convertible promissory note executed during the third quarter of Fiscal 2017 is due on November 1, 2017. All three agreements include customary events of default and are collateralized by all of the property of Eyelock LLC.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price over the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as of the Closing Date:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)



	September 1, 2015
Assets acquired:
Accounts receivable	$	77
Inventory	304
Property, plant and equipment	259
Intangible assets	43,780
Total assets acquired	$	44,420

Liabilities assumed:
Accounts payable and accrued expenses	729
Deferred tax liability	2,756
Bridge loans payable to Voxx	3,176
Other long-term liabilities	1,200
Net assets acquired	36,559
Less: purchase price	31,880
Gain on bargain purchase	$	4,679

The acquisition of substantially all of the assets and certain specified liabilities of Eyelock, Inc. and Eyelock Corporation resulted in a bargain purchase gain of $4,679, which was recognized in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) during the third quarter of Fiscal 2016. Prior to the recognition of the bargain purchase gain, the Company reassessed the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition. The Company believes it was able to acquire those assets of Eyelock LLC for less than their fair value due to the distressed financial position of the company, its inability to secure additional financing to support its ongoing operations, and the lack of potential bidders for the entity prior to Voxx's acquisition.

The fair values assigned to the intangible assets acquired and their related amortization periods are as follows:



	September 1, 2015		Amortization Period (Years)
Developed technology	$	31,290	11.5 years
Tradename	8,435		Indefinite
Customer relationships	3,470		15.5 years
Non-compete agreement	585		5 years
	$	43,780

The fair values of the intangible assets acquired were measured using Level 3 inputs and were determined using variations of the income approach, such as the discounted cash flows and relief of royalty valuation methods. Significant inputs and assumptions used in determining the fair values of the intangible assets acquired included management’s projections of future revenues, earnings and cash flows from Eyelock LLC, a weighted average cost of capital and distributor rates, customer attrition rates, royalty rates and technological obsolescence rates.

Acquisition related costs relating to this transaction of $800 were expensed as incurred during the year ended February 29, 2016. Net sales attributable to EyeLock LLC in the Company's consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 were approximately $100 and $211, respectively.

The results of EyeLock LLC's operation have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.

Pro-forma Financial Information

VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

The following unaudited pro-forma financial information for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2015 represents the results of the Company's operations as if EyeLock LLC was included in these periods of Fiscal 2016. The unaudited pro-forma financial information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have occurred had the companies constituted a single entity during the period.



	Three Months Ended November 30,		Nine Months Ended November 30,
	2015		2015
Net sales:
As reported	$	192,506	$	511,063
Pro forma	192,506		512,178
Net income (loss) attributable to Voxx International Corporation:
As reported	$	7,777	$	2,669
Pro forma	6,116		(4,152		)
Basic income (loss) per share:
As reported	$	0.32	$	0.11
Pro forma	0.25		(0.17		)
Diluted income (loss) per share:
As reported	$	0.32	$	0.11
Pro forma	0.25		(0.17		)
Average shares - basic	24,183,791		24,177,061
Average shares - diluted	24,219,555		24,211,651

The above pro-forma results include certain adjustments for the periods presented to adjust the financial results and give consideration to the assumption that the acquisition occurred on the first day of Fiscal 2015. These adjustments include costs such as an estimate for amortization associated with intangible assets acquired, the adjustment of interest expense, the reversal of rent and utility expenses on debt and property leases not assumed, as well as the movement of expenses and gains specific to the acquisition from Fiscal 2016 to Fiscal 2015. These pro-forma results of operations have been estimated for comparative purposes only and may not reflect the actual results of operations that would have been achieved had the transaction occurred on the date presented or be indicative of results to be achieved in the future.

(3) Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is based upon the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if common stock equivalent securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

There are no reconciling items which impact the numerator of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share. A reconciliation between the denominator of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share is as follows:



	Three Months Ended November 30,		Nine Months Ended November 30,
	2016	2015	2016	2015
Weighted-average common shares outstanding	24,160,324	24,183,791	24,160,324	24,177,061
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock options, warrants and restricted stock	127,107	35,764	77,033	34,590
Weighted-average common shares and potential common shares outstanding	24,287,431	24,219,555	24,237,357	24,211,651

VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

Restricted stock, stock options and warrants of 121,250 and 131,250 for the three months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and 252,067 and 126,808 for the nine months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, were not included in the net income (loss) per diluted share calculation because the exercise price of these stock options and warrants was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during these periods or the inclusion of these components would have been anti-dilutive.

(4) Fair Value Measurements and Derivatives

The Company applies the authoritative guidance on “Fair Value Measurements," which among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about investments that are measured and reported at fair value. This guidance establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices, generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs developed using the Company's estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use.

The following table presents assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at November 30, 2016:



			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
	Total		Level 1		Level 2
Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash and money market funds	$	5,672	$	5,672	$	—
Derivatives
Designated for hedging	$	489	$	—	$	489
Investment securities:
Trading securities	$	4,127	$	4,127	$	—
Available-for-sale securities	12		12		—
Other investments at amortized cost (a)	6,278		—		—
Total investment securities	$	10,417	$	4,139	$	—

The following table presents assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at February 29, 2016:



			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
	Total		Level 1		Level 2
Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash and money market funds	$	11,767	$	11,767	$	—
Derivatives
Designated for hedging	$	30	$	—	$	30
Investment securities:
Trading securities	$	3,917	$	3,917	$	—
Available-for-sale securities	18		18		—
Other investments at amortized cost (a)	6,271		—		—
Total investment securities	$	10,206	$	3,935	$	—


(a)	Included in this balance are investments in two non-controlled corporations accounted for at cost (see Note 5). The fair values of these investments would be based upon Level 3 inputs. At November 30, 2016 and February 29, 2016, it is not practicable to estimate the fair values of these items.

The carrying amount of the Company's accounts receivable, short-term debt, accounts payable, accrued expenses, bank obligations and long-term debt approximates fair value because of (i) the short-term nature of the financial instrument; (ii)

VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

the interest rate on the financial instrument being reset every quarter to reflect current market rates, and (iii) the stated or implicit interest rate approximates the current market rates or are not materially different than market rates.

Derivative Instruments

The Company's derivative instruments include forward foreign currency contracts utilized to hedge a portion of its foreign currency inventory purchases, local operating expenses, as well as its general economic exposure to foreign currency fluctuations created in the normal course of business. The Company also has two interest rate swap agreements as of November 30, 2016, one of which hedges interest rate exposure related to the forecasted outstanding borrowings on a portion of its senior secured credit facility ("the Amended Credit Facility"), and a second that hedges interest rate exposure related to the forecasted outstanding balance of its Florida Mortgage, with monthly payments due through March 2026. A third interest rate swap agreement that also hedged interest rate exposure related to the Amended Credit Facility, expired during the first quarter of Fiscal 2017 with a fair value of $0 on the date of expiration, and a fourth agreement, which hedged interest rate exposure related to the forecasted outstanding balance of one of its mortgage notes, was unwound during the first quarter of Fiscal 2017 when that mortgage was paid in full (see Note 15). The fair value of this interest rate swap agreement on the date it was unwound was $(114), which was charged to interest expense in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) during the nine months ended November 30, 2016. The swap agreement related to the Amended Credit Facility locks the Company's LIBOR rate at 0.515% (exclusive of credit spread) through the swap's maturity date of February 28, 2017. The swap agreement related to the Company's Florida Mortgage locks the interest rate on the debt at 3.48% (inclusive of credit spread) through the maturity date of the loan. The forward foreign currency derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting are designated as cash flow hedges and valued using observable forward rates for the same or similar instruments (Level 2). The duration of open forward foreign currency contracts range from 1 - 15 months and are classified in the balance sheet according to their terms. Interest rate swap agreements qualifying for hedge accounting are designated as cash flow hedges and valued based on a comparison of the change in fair value of the actual swap contracts designated as the hedging instruments and the change in fair value of a hypothetical swap contract (Level 2). We calculate the fair value of interest rate swap agreements quarterly based on the quoted market price for the same or similar financial instruments. Interest rate swaps are classified in the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities based on the fair value of the instruments at the end of the period.

It is the Company's policy to enter into derivative instrument contracts with terms that coincide with the underlying exposure being hedged. As such, the Company's derivative instruments are expected to be highly effective. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, is recognized as incurred through Other Income (Expense) in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and amounted to $190 and $177 for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, respectively, and $166 for $153 the three and nine months ended November 30, 2015, respectively.

Cash flow hedges

During Fiscal 2016 and during the third quarter of Fiscal 2017, the Company entered into forward foreign currency contracts, which have a current outstanding notional value of $39,070 and are designated as cash flow hedges at November 30, 2016. The current outstanding notional values of the Company's two interest rate swaps at November 30, 2016 are $3,750 and $9,238. For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss is reported as a component of Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

Activity related to cash flow hedges recorded during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015 was as follows:

(a) Gains and losses related to foreign currency contracts are reclassified to cost of sales. Gains and losses related to interest rate swaps are reclassified to interest expense.

The net income (loss) recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for foreign currency contracts is expected to be recognized in cost of sales within the next eighteen months. No amounts were excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness during the respective periods. As of November 30, 2016, no foreign currency contracts originally designated for hedge accounting were de-designated or terminated.

Long-Term Investments

Trading Securities

The Company’s trading securities consist of mutual funds, which are held in connection with the Company’s deferred compensation plan. Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities are offset by changes in the corresponding deferred compensation liability.

Available-For-Sale Securities

The Company’s available-for-sale marketable securities include a less than 20% equity ownership in CLST Holdings, Inc. (“Cellstar").

Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect (if applicable), on available-for-sale securities are reported as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific identification basis and reported in Other Income (Expense).

A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed other-than-temporary results in a reduction in carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. No other-than-temporary losses were incurred by the Company during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 or 2015.

Other Long-Term Investments

Other long-term investments include investments in two non-controlled corporations accounted for by the cost method. As of November 30, 2016, the Company's investments in Rx Networks and 360fly, Inc. (formerly EyeSee360, Inc.) totaled $1,825 and $4,453, respectively, or a total investment balance of $6,278. We held 10.2% and 4.7% of the outstanding shares of Rx Networks and 360fly, Inc., respectively, at November 30, 2016. No additional investment was made in either of these companies during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016.

(6) Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income

During the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, the Company recorded tax expense (benefit) related to unrealized losses on investments of $0 in both periods, pension plan adjustments of $0 in both periods, and derivatives designated in a hedging relationship of $225 and $(51), respectively.

Included in foreign currency translation losses of $3,168 for the nine months ended November 30, 2016, was $1,012 resulting from translating the financial statements of the Company’s non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries into our reporting currency, which is the U.S. dollar, as well as approximately $1,891 resulting from the re-measurement of an intercompany loan, payable in Euros, which is of a long-term investment nature. Remaining gains or losses pertain to the re-measurement of intercompany transactions of a long-term investment nature, with certain subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. Intercompany loans and transactions that are of a long-term investment nature are remeasured and resulting gains and losses shall be reported in the same manner as translation adjustments. Within foreign currency translation losses in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the nine months ended November 30, 2016, the Company recorded losses of $3,066 related to the Euro, which was caused by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro by approximately 2%, and a loss of $102 related to various other currencies.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

The Company has various stock-based compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 1 of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2016.

The Company granted 125,000 options in October 2014, which vested on October 16, 2015, expire two years from date of vesting (October 15, 2017), have an exercise price equal to $7.76, $0.25 above the sales price of the Company’s stock on the day prior to the date of grant, have a contractual term of 3.0 years and a grant date fair value of $2.78 per share determined based upon a Black-Scholes valuation model. These options are included in the outstanding options and warrants table below and are exercisable at November 30, 2016.

In addition, the Company issued 15,000 warrants in October 2014 to purchase the Company’s common stock with the same terms as those of the options above as consideration for future legal and professional services. These warrants are included in the outstanding options and warrants table below and are exercisable at November 30, 2016.

During the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, there were no stock-based compensation costs or professional fees recorded by the Company and there were no unrecognized compensation costs or professional fees as of November 30, 2016 related to stock options and warrants.

Information regarding the Company's stock options and warrants is summarized below:



	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life
Outstanding at February 29, 2016	131,250	$	7.76
Granted	—	—
Exercised	—	—
Forfeited/expired	10,000	7.76
Outstanding and exercisable at November 30, 2016	121,250	$	7.76	0.88

A restricted stock award is an award of common stock that is subject to certain restrictions during a specified period. Restricted stock awards are independent of option grants and are subject to forfeiture if employment terminates for a reason other than death, disability or retirement, prior to the release of the restrictions. In Fiscal 2014, the Company established a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) and granted 84,588 shares of restricted stock under this plan. During Fiscal 2015, Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal 2017, an additional 118,058, 79,268 and 165,619 shares of restricted stock were granted under the SERP, respectively. These shares were granted based on certain performance criteria and vest on the later of three years from the date of grant (or three years from the date of participation in the SERP with respect to the Fiscal 2014 grants), or the grantee reaching the age of 65 years. The shares will also vest upon termination of the grantee's employment by the Company without cause, provided that the grantee, at the time of termination, has been employed by the Company for at least 10 years. Upon vesting, the shares will be issued to the grantee or settled in cash, at the Company's sole option. The grantee cannot transfer the rights to receive shares before the restricted shares vest. There are no market conditions inherent in the award, only an employee performance requirement, and the service requirement that the respective employee continues employment with the Company through the vesting date. The Company expenses the cost of the restricted stock awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each employee or a maximum of 12.75 years. For these purposes, the fair market values of the restricted stock, $13.62, $7.77, $8.13 and $2.69, respectively, were determined based on the mean of the high and low price of the Company's common stock on the grant dates.

The following table presents a summary of the Company's restricted stock activity for the nine months ended November 30, 2016:

Forfeited	—	—
Balance at November 30, 2016	437,443	$	6.99

During the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, the Company recorded $205 and $568 in stock-based compensation related to restricted stock awards. As of November 30, 2016, there was $1,526 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock awards.

(9) Supply Chain Financing

The Company has four supply chain financing agreements ("factoring agreements") that were entered into for the purpose of accelerating receivable collection and better managing cash flow. The factored balances for all four agreements are sold without recourse and are accounted for as sales of accounts receivable. Total receivable balances sold for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, net of discounts, were $73,389 and $191,944, respectively, compared to $75,196 and $199,438 for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2015, respectively.

(10) Research and Development

Expenditures for research and development are charged to expense as incurred. Such expenditures amounted to $7,964 and $26,411 for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, respectively, compared to $6,412 and $16,990 for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2015, respectively, net of customer reimbursement, and are included within Engineering and Technical Support Expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The Company enters into development and long-term supply agreements with certain of its OEM ("Original Equipment Manufacturer") customers. Reimbursements of the development services are recorded based upon the milestone method of revenue recognition provided certain criteria are met. Amounts due from OEM customers for development services are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense because the performance of contract development services is not central to the Company's operations. For the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, the Company recorded $1,642 and $3,119, respectively, of development service reimbursements as a reduction of research and development expense based upon the achievement of a milestone, as compared to $3,326 and $6,446, respectively, for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2015.

The Company recorded amortization expense of $2,039 and $6,137 for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, respectively, and $2,044 and $4,599 for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2015, respectively. The estimated aggregate amortization expense for all amortizable intangibles for November 30 of each of the succeeding years is as follows:



Year	Amount
2017	$	8,117
2018	7,933
2019	7,877
2020	7,794
2021	7,640

We evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, when events and circumstances warrant such a review. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2016, the Company re-evaluated its projections for its Klipsch reporting unit, located in the Premium Audio segment, based on lower than anticipated results due to certain marketing strategies and re-evaluation of its market position for certain product lines. Accordingly, this was considered an indicator of impairment requiring the Company to test the related indefinite-lived tradename for impairment, and perform a step 1 impairment analysis on the goodwill for this reporting unit. Fair value is determined primarily by using a discounted cash flow methodology that requires considerable management judgment and long-term assumptions, and is considered a Level 3 (unobservable) fair value determination in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 4). A five-year period is analyzed using a risk adjusted discount rate. The discount rates (developed using a weighted average cost of capital analysis) used in the goodwill and intangible analyses were 13.1% and 13.8%, respectively. Long-term growth rates ranged from 0.7% to 2.9%. As a result of this analysis, the Company determined that the tradename for this reporting unit was impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $6,210 for the nine months ended November 30, 2015. In addition, the Company determined that the goodwill of the reporting unit was not impaired as of this interim testing date. There were no triggering events during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, therefore, management believes the carrying values of its intangible assets is not impaired.

(12) Equity Investment

As of November 30, 2016 and February 29, 2016, the Company had a 50% non-controlling ownership interest in ASA Electronics, LLC and Subsidiary (“ASA") which acts as a distributor of mobile electronics specifically designed for niche markets within the automotive industry, including RV's; buses; and commercial, heavy duty, agricultural, construction, powersport, and marine vehicles.

The Company's share of income from ASA was $1,931 and $5,284 for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, respectively and $1,927 and $5,002 for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2015, respectively.

(13) Income Taxes

For the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $3,435 and an income tax benefit of $218, respectively, which includes a discrete income tax provision of $98 and $264, respectively. The calculation of the overall income tax provision (benefit) primarily consists of foreign taxes and an income tax provision resulting from the increase in deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite-lived intangible assets. The discrete income tax provision for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 relates to the accrual of interest for unrecognized tax benefits and the impact of re-measurement of state deferred tax rates related to finalization of Fiscal 2016 tax filings. For the three and nine months ended November 30, 2015, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $2,968 and $791, respectively.

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 was an income tax provision of 46.8% and an income tax benefit of 19.4%, respectively, compared to an income tax provision of 32.8% and 44.7%, respectively, in the comparable prior periods. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the mix of domestic and foreign earnings, and an income tax provision resulting from the increase in deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite-lived intangible assets.

At November 30, 2016, the Company had an uncertain tax position liability of $5,043, including interest and penalties. The unrecognized tax benefits include amounts related to various U.S. federal, state and local and foreign tax issues. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits may be necessary within the coming year as a result of the expected resolution of various income tax examinations.

(a) Domestic Credit Facility

From March 1, 2016 through April 25, 2016, the Company had a senior secured credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with an aggregate availability of $125,000, consisting of a revolving credit facility of $125,000, with a $30,000 multicurrency revolving credit facility sublimit, a $15,625 sublimit for Letters of Credit and a $6,250 sublimit for Swingline Loans. This Credit Facility was due on January 9, 2019; however, it was subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

On April 26, 2016, the Company amended and restated the Credit Facility ("Amended Credit Facility"). The Amended Credit Facility provides for a revolving credit facility with committed availability of up to $140,000, which may be increased, at the option of the Company, up to a maximum of $175,000; a $15,000 sublimit for Letters of Credit; a $15,000 sublimit for Swingline Loans and a Term Loan in the amount of $15,000.

The Term Loan is repayable in consecutive quarterly installments of $938 through April 1, 2020. All other amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility will mature and become due on April 26, 2021; however, it is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). The Company may prepay any amounts outstanding at any time, subject to payment of certain breakage and redeployment costs relating to LIBOR Rate Loans; provided that the Term Loan shall not be voluntarily prepaid except as set forth in the agreement. The commitments under the Amended Credit Facility may be irrevocably reduced at any time, without premium or penalty as set forth in the agreement.

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

Generally, the Company may designate specific borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility as either Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, except that Swingline 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 1.75 - 2.25%. Loans designated as Base Rate loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the applicable margin for Base Rate Loans of 0.75 - 1.25% as defined in the agreement. Amounts outstanding in respect of the Term Loan shall bear interest at a rate equal to either (as selected by the Company pursuant to the agreement) (a) the then-applicable LIBOR Rate (not to be less than 0.00%) plus 4.25% or (b) the then-applicable Base Rate plus 3.25%. As of November 30, 2016, the weighted average interest rate on the facility was 2.86%.

The Amended Credit Facility requires compliance with a financial covenant calculated as of the last day of each fiscal quarter consisting of a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. The Amended Credit Facility also contains covenants that limit the ability of the Loan Parties and certain of their Subsidiaries which are not Loan Parties to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) incur liens; (iii) merge, consolidate or dispose of a substantial portion of their business; (iv) transfer or dispose of assets; (v) change their name, organizational identification number, state or province of organization or organizational identity; (vi) make any material change in their nature of business; (vii) prepay or otherwise acquire indebtedness; (viii) cause any Change of Control; (ix) make any Restricted Junior Payment; (x) change their fiscal year or method of accounting; (xi) make advances, loans or investments; (xii) enter into or permit any transaction with an Affiliate of any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries; (xiii) use proceeds for certain items; (xiv) issue or sell any of their stock; (xv) consign or sell any of their inventory on certain terms. In addition, if excess availability under the Amended Credit Facility were to fall below certain specified levels, as defined in the agreement, the lenders would have the right to assume dominion and control over the Company's cash. As of November 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with this cash dominion covenant.

The Obligations under the Loan Documents are secured by a general lien on and security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers and certain of the Guarantors, including accounts receivable, equipment, real estate, general intangibles and inventory. The Company has guaranteed the obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement.

As of November 30, 2016, $87,026 was outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $13,125 was outstanding under the term loan. Charges incurred on the unused portion of the Amended Credit Facility during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 totaled $62 and $184, respectively, compared to $70 and $235 during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2015, respectively. These charges are included within Interest and Bank Charges on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The Company has accounted for the latest amendment as a modification of debt and has added the costs incurred to amend the agreement, totaling $1,779, to the remaining financing costs related to the previous credit facility. These deferred financing costs are included in Long-term debt on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as a contra-liability balance, and are amortized through Interest and Bank Charges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) over the five year term of the Amended Credit Facility. During the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, the Company amortized $198 and $591 of these costs, respectively, compared to $279 and $838 for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2015, respectively. The net unamortized balance of these debt issuance costs as of November 30, 2016 was $3,399.

(b) Florida Mortgage

On July 6, 2015, VOXX HQ LLC, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, closed on a $9,995 industrial development revenue tax exempt bond under a loan agreement in favor of the Orange County Industrial Development Authority (the “Authority”) to finance the construction of the Company's manufacturing facility and executive offices in Lake Nona, Florida. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo") was the purchaser of the bond and U.S. Bank National Association is the trustee under an Indenture of Trust with the Authority. Voxx borrowed the proceeds of the bond purchase from the Authority during construction as a revolving loan, which converted to a permanent mortgage upon completion of the facility in January 2016 (the "Florida Mortgage"). The Company makes principal and interest payments to Wells Fargo, which began March 1, 2016 and will

VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

continue through March of 2026. The Florida Mortgage bears interest at 70% of 1-month LIBOR plus 1.54% (1.28% at November 30, 2016) and is secured by a first mortgage on the property, a collateral assignment of leases and rents and a guaranty by the Company. The financial covenants of the Florida Mortgage are as defined in the Company’s Amended Credit Facility with Wells Fargo dated April 26, 2016.

The Company incurred debt financing costs totaling approximately $332 as a result of obtaining the Florida Mortgage, which are recorded as deferred financing costs and included in Long-term Debt as a contra-liability balance on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet and are being amortized through Interest and Bank Charges in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) over the ten year term of the Florida Mortgage. During the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, the Company amortized $7 and $23 of these costs, respectively, as compared to $5 and $9 for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2015.

On July 20, 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement in order to hedge interest rate exposure related to the Florida Mortgage and pays a fixed rate of 3.48% under the swap agreement (See Note 4).

Foreign bank obligations include a Euro accounts receivable factoring arrangement, which has a credit limit of up to 60% of eligible non-factored accounts receivable (see Note 9), and a Euro Asset-Based Lending ("ABL") credit facility, which has a credit limit of €8,000 and expires on July 31, 2017 for the Company's subsidiary, VOXX Germany. The rate of interest for these credit facilities is the three month Euribor plus 1.6% (1.91% at November 30, 2016). As of November 30, 2016, the amounts outstanding under these credit facilities, which are payable on demand, do not exceed their respective credit limits.

(d) Schwaiger Mortgage

In January 2012, the Company's Schwaiger subsidiary purchased a building, entering into a mortgage note payable. The mortgage note bears interest at 3.75% and will be fully paid by December 2019.

(e) Klipsch Notes

This balance represents a mortgage on a facility included in the assets acquired in connection with the Klipsch acquisition on March 1, 2011 and assumed by Voxx. The balance of this note will be fully paid by the end of Fiscal 2018.

(f) Woodview Trace Mortgage

During Fiscal 2013, the Company purchased the building housing Klipsch's headquarters in Indianapolis, IN. The interest rate on the mortgage was equal to the 1-month LIBOR plus 2.25% and the Company had an interest rate swap agreement in order to hedge interest rate exposure related to this mortgage, paying a fixed rate of 3.92% under the agreement. In April 2016, the Company repaid this mortgage in conjunction with the amendment of the Company's credit facility (see Note 15(a)) and unwound the interest rate swap (see Note 4).

(g) Voxx Germany Mortgage

This balance represents a mortgage on the land and building housing Voxx Germany's headquarters in Pulheim, Germany, which was entered into in January 2013. The mortgage bears interest at 2.85%, payable in twenty-six quarterly installments through June 2019.

(h) Hirschmann Line of Credit

In December 2014, Hirschmann entered into an agreement for a €8,000 working capital line of credit with a financial institution. The line of credit is payable on demand and is mutually cancelable. The rate of interest is

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

the three month Euribor plus 2% (2.31% at November 30, 2016). Hirschmann and Voxx Germany are joint and severally liable for the line of credit balance, which is also guaranteed by VOXX International Corporation.

(16) Other (Expense) Income

Other (expense) income is comprised of the following:



	Three Months Ended November 30,					Nine Months Ended November 30,
	2016			2015		2016			2015
Foreign currency gain (loss)	$	314		$	487	$	(459	)	$	432

Included in interest income for the nine months ended November 30, 2015 is income related to notes receivable from EyeLock, Inc. and EyeLock Corporation that were outstanding prior to the acquisition on September 1, 2015 of a majority voting interest in substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of these entities.

(17) Foreign Currency

The Company has certain operations in Venezuela. Venezuela is currently experiencing significant political and civil unrest and economic instability and has been troubled with various foreign currency and price controls. The country has experienced high rates of inflation over the last several years. The President of Venezuela has the authority to legislate certain areas by decree, which allows the government to nationalize certain industries or expropriate certain companies and property. These factors may have a negative impact on our business and our financial condition. In 2003, Venezuela created the Commission of Administration of Foreign Currency ("CADIVI") which establishes and administers currency controls and their associated rules and regulations. These controls include creating a fixed exchange rate between the Bolivar Fuerte and the U.S. Dollar, and the ability to restrict the exchange of Bolivar Fuertes for U.S. Dollars and vice versa.

Effective January 1, 2010, according to the guidelines in ASC 830, "Foreign Currency," Venezuela was designated as a hyper-inflationary economy. A hyper-inflationary economy designation occurs when a country has experienced cumulative inflation of approximately 100 percent or more over a 3 year period. The hyper-inflationary designation requires the local subsidiary in Venezuela to record all transactions as if they were denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company transitioned to hyper-inflationary accounting on March 1, 2010 and continues to account for its operation in Venezuela under this method.

From February 2013 through February 2016, the official exchange rate of the Venezuelan Bolivar Fuerte was 6.3 per U.S. dollar; however, since January 2014, the Venezuelan government has created multiple alternative exchange rates designated to be used for the purchase of goods and services deemed non-essential. In February 2015, the Venezuelan government introduced a new currency system, referred to as the Marginal Currency System, or SIMADI rate. This market-based exchange system consisted of a mechanism from which both businesses and individuals were allowed to purchase and sell foreign currency at the price set by the market. The SIMADI rate was used by the Company at November 30, 2015 and was approximately 200 Bolivar Fuerte/$1. In February 2016, the Venezuelan government announced further changes to its foreign currency exchange mechanisms, including a 59% devaluation of the official government exchange rate (re-named DIPRO) from 6.3 bolivars to 10.0 bolivars to the U.S. dollar. Additionally, the SIMADI exchange rate was replaced by the DICOM exchange rate, a new floating exchange rate for non-essential imports. The Venezuelan government has reported that the DICOM exchange rate will be allowed to float to meet market needs. The Company has evaluated all of the facts and circumstances surrounding its Venezuelan operations and determined that as of November 30, 2016, the DICOM (formerly SIMADI) rate continues to be the appropriate rate to use for remeasuring its Venezuelan subsidiary’s financial statements. As of November 30, 2016, the published DIPRO and DICOM rates offered were 10.0 and 664 bolivars to the U.S. dollar, respectively. Net currency exchange losses of $0 and

VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

$8 were recorded for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, respectively, representing currency devaluation, which are included in Other Income (Expense) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Our investment in Venezuela mainly consists of $3,714 of properties that are currently being held for investment purposes. During Fiscal 2015, the Company impaired these properties based on an assessment of their recoverability. In reviewing the recoverability of its investment properties, the Company considered the expected cash flows from these properties, the length of time the properties have been held, the volatile market conditions, the Company’s financial condition, and the intent and ability to retain its investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. No additional impairments were recorded during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016.

Our automotive business in Venezuela and our ability to obtain U.S. dollars are impacted by the continued economic instability, increasing inflation and currency restrictions imposed by the government. The Company continues to monitor this situation closely and will continue to evaluate its local properties. Further devaluations or regulatory actions could impair the carrying value of these properties.

(18) Lease Obligations

At November 30, 2016, the Company was obligated under non-cancelable operating leases for equipment, as well as warehouse and office facilities for minimum annual rental payments as follows:



	Operating Leases
2017	$	2,714
2018	4,204
2019	902
2020	225
2021	182
Thereafter	357
Total minimum lease payments	$	8,584

The Company has three capital leases with a total lease liability of $1,062 at November 30, 2016. These leases have maturities through Fiscal 2021.

The Company previously leased a facility from its principal stockholder. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2017, the facility was sold to an unrelated third party.

(20) Variable Interest Entities

A variable interest entity ("VIE") is an entity that either (i) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (ii) has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Under ASC 810, an entity that holds a variable interest in a VIE and meets certain requirements would be considered to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and required to consolidate the VIE in its consolidated financial statements. In order to be considered the primary beneficiary of a VIE, an entity must hold a variable interest in the VIE and have both:

•the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE; and

•the right to receive benefits from, or the obligation to absorb losses of, the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE.

Effective September 1, 2015, Voxx acquired a majority voting interest in substantially all of the assets and certain specified liabilities of Eyelock, Inc. and Eyelock Corporation, a market leader of iris-based identity authentication solutions, through a newly-formed entity, Eyelock LLC (See Note 2). We have determined that we hold a variable interest in EyeLock LLC as a result of:

•our majority voting interest and ownership of substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of the entity; and

•a loan agreement with EyeLock LLC, executed in conjunction with the acquisition, as well as two convertible promissory notes executed in the second and third quarters of Fiscal 2017, in which the subsidiary may borrow funds from Voxx for working capital purposes (see Note 2). The total outstanding balance of these loans as of November 30, 2016 was $18,947.

We concluded that we became the primary beneficiary of EyeLock LLC on September 1, 2015 in conjunction with the acquisition. This was the first date on which we had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity because we acquired a majority interest in substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of EyeLock, Inc. and EyeLock Corporation on this date, as well as obtained a majority voting interest as a result of this transaction. Although we are considered to have control over EyeLock LLC under ASC 810, due to our majority ownership interest, the assets of EyeLock LLC can only be used to satisfy the obligations of EyeLock LLC. As a result of our majority ownership interest in the entity and our primary beneficiary conclusion, we consolidated EyeLock LLC within our consolidated financial statements beginning on September 1, 2015. Prior to September 1, 2015, EyeLock, Inc. and EyeLock Corporation were not required to be consolidated within our consolidated financial statements because we concluded that we were not the primary beneficiary of the entities prior to that time.

Assets and Liabilities of EyeLock LLC

In accordance with ASC 810, the consolidation of EyeLock LLC was treated as an acquisition of assets and liabilities and, therefore, the assets and liabilities of EyeLock LLC were included in our consolidated financial statements at their

(22) Contingencies

The Company is currently, and has in the past been a party to various routine legal proceedings incident to the ordinary course of business. If management determines, based on the underlying facts and circumstances, that it is probable a loss will result from a litigation contingency and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss is accrued for. The Company believes its outstanding litigation matters disclosed below will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements, individually or in the aggregate; however, due to the uncertain outcome of these matters, the Company disclosed specific matters as outlined below.

The products the Company sells are continually changing as a result of improved technology. As a result, although the Company and its suppliers attempt to avoid infringing known proprietary rights, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims for alleged infringement by patent, trademark or other intellectual property owners. Any claims relating to the infringement of third-party proprietary rights, even if not meritorious, could result in costly litigation, divert management’s attention and resources, or require the Company to either enter into royalty or license agreements which are not advantageous to the Company, or pay material amounts of damages.

Securities and Derivative Proceedings:

On July 8, 2014, a purported class action suit, Brian Ford v. VOXX International Corporation et. al., was filed against us and two of our present executive officers (collectively, the "Defendants") in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. On July 16, 2015, the judge approved the designation of the lead plaintiffs and counsel for the plaintiffs. On September 28, 2015, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint which alleges the same claims as the original complaint (that the Defendants violated the federal securities laws by making false or misleading statements which artificially inflated the price of our stock and that purchasers of our stock during the relevant period were damaged when the stock price later declined) under Sections 10(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act but expands the class period by five months, from January 9, 2013 through May 14, 2014. According to the allegations contained in the amended complaint, the defendants knew or should have known, by virtue of their roles and positions, that their statements were false and misleading and the Defendants were purportedly motivated because their conduct enabled Company insiders to sell VOXX stock at inflated prices. On November 25, 2015, the Defendants moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint for failure to state a claim. On July 22, 2016, the judge granted the Defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint. The plaintiffs did not file a Second Amendment Complaint by the Court-ordered deadline of October 4, 2016.

(23) New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The standard requires entities to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The new guidance also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements intended to provide users of financial statements comprehensive information about the nature, amounts, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a company's contracts with customers. In August, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date.” The amendment in this ASU defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities for one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2016, including interim reporting periods with that reporting period. Retrospective or modified retrospective application of the accounting standard is required. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)." This update provides clarifying guidance regarding the application of ASU 2014-09 when another party, along with the reporting entity, is involved in providing a good or a service to a customer. In these circumstances, an entity is required to determine whether the nature of its promise is to provide that good or service to the customer (that is, the entity is a principal) or to arrange for the good or service to be provided to the customer by the other party (that is, the entity is an agent). In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing," which clarifies the identification of performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-11, "Revenue Recognition and Derivatives and Hedging: Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 Emerging Issues Task Force Meeting (“EITF”)," which rescinds SEC paragraphs pursuant to SEC staff announcements. These rescissions include changes to topics pertaining to accounting for shipping and handling fees and costs and accounting for consideration given by a vendor to a customer. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, "Revenue from Contracts

with Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients," which provides clarifying guidance in certain narrow areas and adds some practical expedients. The effective dates for these ASU’s are the same as the effective date for ASU No. 2014-09, for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is reviewing its policies and processes to ensure compliance with the requirements in this update with regard to its operations.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” The new standard amends the guidelines for the measurement of inventory from lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV). NRV is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Under existing standards, inventory is measured at lower of cost or market, which requires the consideration of replacement cost, NRV and NRV less an amount that approximates a normal profit margin. This ASU eliminates the requirement to determine and consider replacement cost or NRV less an approximately normal profit margin for inventory measurement. The new standard is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adopting this new accounting guidance on our results of operations and financial position.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," which amends certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. This amendment requires all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of ASU 2016-01 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. This amendment will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force)." ASU 2016-05 clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument under Topic 815 does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. ASU 2016-05 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2016-05 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, "Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures: Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting," which eliminates the retroactive adjustments to an investment upon it qualifying for the equity method of accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence by the investor. ASU 2016-07 requires that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment qualifies for equity method accounting. ASU 2016-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-07 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments," which addresses eight specific cash flow issues and is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory,” which is intended to improve the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. This update removes the current exception in GAAP prohibiting entities from recognizing current and deferred income tax expenses or benefits related to transfer of assets, other than inventory, within the consolidated entity. The current exception to defer the recognition of any tax impact on the transfer of inventory within the consolidated entity until it is sold to a third party remains unaffected. The amendments in this update are effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the future adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-17, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held Through Related Parties That are Under Common Control.” This update amends the consolidation guidance on how a reporting entity that is the single decision maker of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) should treat indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the reporting entity that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE and, therefore, consolidates the VIE. A reporting entity has an indirect interest in a VIE if it has a direct interest in a related party that, in turn, has a direct interest in the VIE. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)" to reduce diversity in practice related to the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows. The revised guidance requires that amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The guidance will be applied on a retrospective basis beginning with the earliest period presented. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In addition, it is our intention to continue to acquire synergistic companies that would allow us to leverage our overhead, penetrate new markets and expand existing product categories through our business channels.

Acquisitions

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in those financial statements. These judgments can be subjective and complex, and consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates. Our most critical accounting policies and estimates relate to revenue recognition; sales incentives; accounts receivable reserves; inventory reserves; goodwill and other intangible assets; warranties; stock-based compensation; income taxes; and the fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities. A summary of the Company's critical accounting policies is identified in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2016. Since February 29, 2016, there have been no changes in our critical accounting policies or changes to the assumptions and estimates related to them.

Results of Operations

As you read this discussion and analysis, refer to the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), which present the results of our operations for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015.

The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, certain statements of operations data for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015.

Net Sales

Automotive	$	90,343	$	92,575	$	(2,232	)	(2.4	)%

Total net sales	$	198,937	$	192,506	$	6,431		3.3	%

Nine Months Ended:
Automotive	$	251,633	$	266,866	$	(15,233	)	(5.7	)%
Premium Audio	123,787		104,261		19,526			18.7
Consumer Accessories	137,374		138,687		(1,313		)	(0.9	)
Corporate	861		1,249		(388		)	(31.1	)
Total net sales	$	513,655	$	511,063	$	2,592		0.5	%

Automotive sales represented 45.4% and 49.0% of the net sales for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, respectively compared to 48.1% and 52.2% in the respective prior year periods. The Company experienced a decrease in automotive sales due to several factors during both periods, including the completion and winding down of certain OEM programs during Fiscal 2017 that had experienced strong performance in the comparative prior year periods. Remote start products were negatively impacted for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 as a result of a warmer Fiscal 2016 Winter season, with several customers carrying excess inventory into the Company's Fiscal 2017 year, as well as due to the fact that more vehicles are being built equipped with remote start capabilities. Sales of satellite radios during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 also decreased as a result of more vehicles being built equipped with these products. The Company also experienced decreases in aftermarket overhead and headrest DVD player sales as a result of price reductions and competition within these product lines. Finally, during the second quarter of Fiscal 2016, the Company sold all of its Jensen Mobile product inventory, consisting of car speakers and amplifiers, to a third party in order to license the brand name for a commission. This resulted in reduced sales of these products for the nine months ended November 30, 2016 of approximately $6,400. As an offset to these decreases, the Company has had increased tuner and antenna sales internationally during both the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, primarily due to the start of a new program during the first quarter of Fiscal 2017.

Premium Audio sales represented 28.5% and 24.1% of our net sales for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, respectively, compared to 23.2% and 20.4% in the respective prior year periods. Sales have increased in this segment primarily as a result of the introduction of several new products, including various lines of HD wireless desktop and bookshelf size speakers, wireless soundbars and multi-room streaming audio systems. These products were launched between the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2016 and the third quarter of Fiscal 2017 and have been experiencing strong sales for the segment during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016. The Company also saw increases in sales in several of its existing lines of home entertainment speakers due to successful marketing and promotional activity, as well as increased commercial speaker sales as a result of new distribution agreements and growth in China. Additionally, headphone sales have increased as a result of promotions offered during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 that were not provided in the prior year, as well as due to the launch of four new unique headphone products during the third quarter of Fiscal 2017, consisting of neckband headphones, as well as new on-ear, in-ear and over-ear headphones. These increases were partially offset by decreases in European sales during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 as a result of a slower market overseas.

Consumer Accessory sales represented 25.8% and 26.7% of our net sales for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, respectively, compared to 28.5% and 27.1% in the comparable prior year periods. The Company experienced a decrease in consumer accessory sales due to several factors during both periods, including the decrease in sales of its Singtrix karaoke product, primarily as a result of promotional activity in the prior fiscal year that did not repeat in Fiscal 2017, as well as large customer load in shipments in the prior year that did not repeat. There was also a decrease during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 in sales of hook-up products; remotes; clock radios; docking stations; reception products, such as antennas; and power products, such as cables and surge protectors, due to competition, changes in demand and changes in technology. During the nine months ended November 30, 2016, the segment had decreased sales of wireless speakers, as compared to the nine months ended November 30, 2015. While the sales of wireless speakers in this segment have remained strong in Fiscal 2017, the Company had higher sales in the prior year due to load in shipments of certain new wireless speaker products in order to fill its customers' inventory pipelines, which were not repeated in the current year. There were additional declines in wireless speaker sales as a result of certain promotions that were offered during the prior year but not repeated in Fiscal 2017. As an offset to these decreases, the segment experienced increases in sales during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 related to new products, such as the Company's Project Nursery baby monitors, which launched in the second quarter of Fiscal 2017, and the 360Fly® Action Camera, which launched in the third quarter of Fiscal 2016 and has had an increase in distribution, as well as the introduction of new models since its launch date. Additionally, during the nine months ended November 30, 2016, the Company experienced an increase in international sales, primarily due to the roll out of an upgrade to the digital broadcasting platform in Europe, which will require new equipment. During the three months ended November 30, 2016, there was also an increase in the sale of wireless speakers, primarily as a result of the positive performance of certain holiday promotions.

Gross margins in the Automotive segment increased 80 and 40 basis points for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, respectively, as compared to the prior year. The segment experienced an increase in sales of its high margin tuner and antenna products as a result of a new program that started during the first quarter of the fiscal year, as well as decreased sales of lower margin products such as satellite radio fulfillments. For the nine months ended November 30, 2016, the Company also saw a decrease in sales of its lower margin Jensen products, whose inventory was sold in the prior year, contributing to overall margin improvements for the segment. This was offset by decreased sales of higher margin products during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, such as remote start and aftermarket overhead and headrest DVD products, as well as certain products within the OEM manufacturing line.

Gross margins in the Premium Audio segment decreased 110 basis points for the three months ended November 30, 2016 and increased 30 basis points for the nine months ended November 30, 2016 as compared to the comparable prior year periods. For the year to date period, margins improved as a result of the timing of product promotions, as the Company has expanded its planning calendar to better align promotions and product launches, as well as due to the fact that in the prior year, this segment experienced heavy promotions on several product close outs and obsolete items in order to make way for newer product, which did not repeat in the current fiscal year. The segment has also seen an increase in sales for the nine months ended November 30, 2016 of certain higher margin products, such as home entertainment speakers and premium loudspeakers. During the three months ended November 30, 2016, the decline in margins was a result of a significant increase in sales of the Company's newest wireless soundbars and speakers, which earn lower margins for the segment. The Company also offered heavy holiday promotions of its newest soundbar products and incurred significant expedited freight charges in order to fulfill customer demand for the holiday season, which caused margins for these products to be reduced further.

Gross margins in the Consumer Accessories segment decreased 50 basis points in both the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, as compared to the prior year. For the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, margins were negatively impacted by decreased sales of certain higher margin products, including remotes, hookup, power products, and the Singtrix karaoke product, as well as by the launch of the new 360Fly® Action Camera, which contributed to a substantial increase in sales for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, but produced lower margins for the segment. This was partially offset by an increase in sales of higher margin products, such as the Company's new line of baby monitors, as well as an improvement in the international product mix. The sale of wireless speakers, which generally contributes higher margins for the segment, had a positive impact for the three months ended November 30, 2016, as sales of these speakers increased, but had a negative impact for the nine months ended November 30, 2016, as sales of wireless speakers decreased year to date as compared to the prior year.

Operating loss	$	(620	)	$	(4,051	)	$	3,431		(84.7	)%

Total operating expenses have decreased for both the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 as compared with the three and nine months ended November 30, 2015. The Company has experienced decreases in salary, payroll and benefits expenses during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 as a result of Company-wide headcount reductions made during Fiscal 2016; decreases in professional fees due to fewer legal matters in comparison to the prior year periods, as well as the absence of acquisition costs related to EyeLock LLC that were incurred in Fiscal 2016; and lower occupancy costs, primarily as a result of the move to a new Company-owned manufacturing facility and executive office in Lake Nona, FL, thus eliminating the need to rent these facilities from third parties, as well as the closing of certain offices in Germany and France in order to consolidate space and operations. The Company has also made increased efforts in Fiscal 2017 to streamline and reduce travel and entertainment expense, which has resulted in an overall decrease in such expenditures during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016. Additionally, during the second quarter of Fiscal 2016, the Company incurred intangible asset impairment charges of $6,210 related to certain trademarks of the Company, which did not recur during the current fiscal year to date. Specifically, certain of the Company's premium audio product lines experienced lower than expected performance during the second quarter of Fiscal 2016 due to certain marketing strategies and the re-evaluation of marketing positions. As an offset to these operating expense decreases, there have been significant increases in research and development expenditures during both the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, related to the Company's Hirschmann, Klipsch and Invision subsidiaries, all of which increased their research and development spending in comparison to the prior year, as well as due to the EyeLock LLC subsidiary. Since the acquisition on September 1, 2015 of a majority voting interest in substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of EyeLock Inc. and EyeLock Corporation, this new subsidiary has incurred significant research and development expenses related to its iris-based authentication solutions. Additionally, Hirschmann received fewer reimbursements of development services, which are recorded as a reduction of research and development expense, and thus further resulted in overall higher net research and development expenses for the periods. The Company also incurred increases in sales commissions during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 as a result of higher sales for these periods and increased its trade show spending. During the nine months ended November 30, 2016, depreciation and amortization expenses increased both as a result of intangible assets acquired in conjunction with the EyeLock acquisition, and due to the addition of the Company's new manufacturing facility and executive offices in Florida, which was completed during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2016. For the nine months ended November 30, 2016, there has also been an increase in salary and benefit expenses related to EyeLock LLC as a result of the Fiscal 2016 acquisition, as well as the Company's efforts to build EyeLock LLC's sales force.

Total other (expense) income	$	(504	)	$	5,820		$	(6,324	)	(108.7	)%

Interest and bank charges represent expenses for the Company's bank obligations, interest related to capital leases and amortization of debt issuance costs. The increase in these expenses for the nine months ended November 30, 2016 is primarily due to interest expense related to the Company's outstanding Florida mortgage, which was entered into during the second quarter of Fiscal 2016 in order to finance the construction of the Company's manufacturing facility and executive offices in Lake Nona, FL. This mortgage was entered into in July 2015 and was not outstanding during much of the nine months ended November 30, 2015. During the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, the Company also carried a higher outstanding balance on its Amended Credit Facility as compared to the prior year periods and as such, incurred higher interest charges related to this facility.

Equity in income of equity investees represents the Company's share of income from its 50% non-controlling ownership interest in ASA Electronics LLC and Subsidiaries ("ASA"). The increase in income for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 was a result of an improvement in ASA's product mix.

Effective September 1, 2015, Voxx completed the acquisition of a majority voting interest in substantially all of the assets and certain specified liabilities of Eyelock, Inc. and Eyelock Corporation (collectively, "the Seller"), through a newly-formed entity Eyelock LLC using cash of $15,504, assignment to the Seller of the indebtedness owed to the Company by the Seller of $4,676 and the issuance of units in Eyelock LLC to the Seller. The excess of the assets and liabilities acquired over the amount paid for Voxx's interest in EyeLock resulted in a bargain purchase gain recognized for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2015.

Other, net, during the three months ended November 30, 2016, primarily included net foreign currency gains of $314, interest income of $22, and rental income of $149, while Other, net, during the three months ended November 30, 2015, primarily included foreign currency gains of $487, interest income of $38 and rental income of $109. Other, net, during the nine months ended November 30, 2016, primarily included net foreign currency losses of $(459), interest income of $124, and rental income of $498, while Other, net, during the nine months ended November 30, 2015, primarily included foreign currency gains of $432, interest income of $781 and rental income of $320. Included in interest income for the nine months ended November 30, 2015 is income related to notes receivable from EyeLock, Inc. that were outstanding prior to the transaction on September 1, 2015 to acquire a majority voting interest in substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of EyeLock Inc. and EyeLock Corporation.

Income Tax Provision

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 was an income tax provision of 46.8% and an income tax benefit of 19.4%, respectively, compared to an income tax provision of 32.8% and 44.7%, respectively, in the comparable prior periods. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 differs from the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the mix of domestic and foreign earnings, and an income tax provision resulting from the increase in deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite-lived intangibles.

Net Income

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, selected statement of operations data beginning with net income and basic and diluted net income per common share.



	Three Months Ended November 30,				Nine Months Ended November 30,
	2016		2015		2016		2015
Net income attributable to Voxx International Corporation	$	5,800	$	7,777	$	4,512	$	2,669
Net income per common share:
Basic	$	0.24	$	0.32	$	0.19	$	0.11
Diluted	$	0.24	$	0.32	$	0.19	$	0.11

Net income for both the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 was favorably impacted by higher net sales, as well as the performance of the Company's equity investment. As an offset, the net income for both the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 was unfavorably impacted by net losses incurred by EyeLock LLC. Net income for both the three and nine months ended November 30, 2015 was favorably impacted by the bargain purchase gain resulting from the acquisition of a controlling interest in substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of EyeLock Inc. and EyeLock Corporation, which was offset by acquisition costs related to the transaction, as well as losses incurred by EyeLock LLC post acquisition. The net income for the nine months ended November 30, 2015 was also unfavorably impacted by impairment charges related to intangible assets.

Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Diluted Adjusted EBITDA per common share are not financial measures recognized by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, before interest and bank charges, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, impairment charges and certain acquisition related expenses and gains. Depreciation, amortization, impairments and stock-based compensation are non-cash items. Diluted Adjusted EBITDA per common share represents the Company's diluted earnings per common share based on Adjusted EBITDA.

We present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Diluted Adjusted EBITDA per common share in this Form 10-Q because we consider them to be useful and appropriate supplemental measures of our performance. These measures help us to evaluate our performance without the effects of certain GAAP calculations that may not have a direct cash impact on our current operating performance. In addition, the exclusion of certain costs or gains relating to certain non-recurring events allows for a more meaningful comparison of our results from period-to-period. These non-GAAP measures, as we define them, are not necessarily comparable to similarly entitled measures of other companies and may not be appropriate measures for performance relative to other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be assessed in isolation from or construed as a substitute for EBITDA. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Diluted Adjusted EBITDA per common share are not intended to represent, and should not be considered to be more meaningful measures than, or alternatives to, measures of operating performance as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows, Commitments and Obligations

As of November 30, 2016, we had working capital of $153,011 which includes cash and cash equivalents of $5,672, compared with working capital of $132,167 at February 29, 2016, which included cash and cash equivalents of $11,767. We plan to utilize our current cash position as well as collections from accounts receivable, the cash generated from our operations and the income on our investments to fund the current operations of the business. However, we may utilize all or a portion of current capital resources to pursue other business opportunities, including acquisitions or to pay down our debt.

Operating activities used cash of $15,132 for the nine months ended November 30, 2016 principally due to increases in the Company's inventory and accounts receivable balances due to holiday season sales activity, which was offset by an increase in accounts payable.


•	The Company experienced a slight decrease in annual accounts receivable turnover to 6.2 during the nine months ended November 30, 2016 compared to 6.7 during the nine months ended November 30, 2015.


•	Annual inventory turnover decreased slightly to 2.8 during the nine months ended November 30, 2016 from 2.9 during the nine months ended November 30, 2015.

Investing activities used cash of $8,607 during the nine months ended November 30, 2016, as a result of capital additions during the quarter.

Financing activities provided cash of $17,234 during the nine months ended November 30, 2016, primarily due to borrowings of bank obligations, net of repayments.

Loans and a Term Loan in the amount of $15,000. The Term Loan is repayable in consecutive quarterly installments of $938 through April 1, 2020. All other amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility will mature and become due on April 26, 2021.

As of November 30, 2016, a total of $100,151 was outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility compared to $72,300 at February 29, 2016. The increase in the outstanding credit facility balance as of November 30, 2016 is principally a result of fulfilling the Company's seasonal working capital needs, as well as to support the EyeLock LLC subsidiary. Additionally, in April 2016, the Company repaid its Woodview Trace mortgage in full, in conjunction with the amendment of the Credit Facility, as described above, utilizing funds from the Amended Credit Facility.

Certain contractual cash obligations and other commercial commitments will impact our short and long-term liquidity. At November 30, 2016, such obligations and commitments are as follows:



	Amount of Commitment Expiration per Period (9)
			Less than		2-3		4-5		After
Contractual Cash Obligations	Total		1 Year		Years		Years		5 Years

1.	Represents total principal payments due under capital lease obligations which have a total current (included in other current liabilities) and long term principal balance of $357 and $705, respectively at November 30, 2016.


2.	We enter into operating leases in the normal course of business.


3.	Represents amounts outstanding under the Company's Amended Credit Facility, Hirschmann's line of credit and the Voxx Germany Euro asset-based lending facility at November 30, 2016.


4.	We issue standby and commercial letters of credit to secure certain purchases and insurance requirements.


5.	This amount includes amounts due under an assumed mortgage on a facility in connection with the acquisition of Klipsch, as well as amounts outstanding under loans and mortgages for our manufacturing facility in Florida and for facilities purchased at Schwaiger and Voxx Germany.


6.	Represents profit-sharing payments in connection with the Invision acquisition.


7.	Represents the liability for an employer defined benefit pension plan covering certain eligible Hirschmann employees, as well as a retirement incentive accrual for certain Hirschmann employees.


8.	Open purchase obligations represent inventory commitments. These obligations are not recorded in the consolidated financial statements until commitments are fulfilled given that such obligations are subject to change based on negotiations with manufacturers.

We regularly review our cash funding requirements and attempt to meet those requirements through a combination of cash on hand, cash provided by operations, available borrowings under bank lines of credit and possible future public or private debt and/or equity offerings. At times, we evaluate possible acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses that are complementary to ours, which transactions may require the use of cash. We believe that our cash, other liquid assets, operating cash flows, credit arrangements, and access to equity capital markets, taken together, provide adequate resources to fund ongoing operating expenditures. In the event that they do not, we may require additional funds in the future to support our working capital requirements or for other purposes and may seek to raise such additional funds through the sale of public or private equity and/or debt financings as well as from other sources. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available in the future or that if available, such financing will be obtainable on terms favorable when required.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not maintain any off-balance sheet arrangements, transactions, obligations or other relationships with unconsolidated entities that would be expected to have a material current or future effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

Related Party Transactions

The Company previously leased a facility from its principal stockholder. The facility was sold to an unrelated third party during the second quarter of Fiscal 2017.

New Accounting Pronouncements

We are required to adopt certain new accounting pronouncements. See Note 23 to our consolidated financial statements included herein.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency

Voxx conducts business in various non-U.S. countries, including Germany, Hungary, Canada, Mexico, China, Denmark, the Netherlands, and France and thus is exposed to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates. A cumulative foreign currency translation loss of $(41,805) related to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at November 30, 2016. The aggregate foreign currency transaction exchange rate gains (losses) included in determining income before income taxes were $314 and $(459) for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, respectively, compared to $487 and $432 for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2015, respectively. For the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, a uniform 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currency of our foreign operations would have resulted in a decrease in sales of approximately $6,600 and $18,900, respectively, and net income of approximately $300 and $400, respectively. The effects of foreign currency exchange rates on future results would also be impacted by changes in sales levels or local currency prices.

The Company continues to monitor the political and economic climate in Venezuela. Venezuela did not have any sales for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016. Approximately $123 of assets invested in Venezuela are cash related and are subject to government foreign exchange controls. The Company also maintains $3,714 in real estate property in Venezuela that could be subject to government foreign exchange controls upon their ultimate sale.

The Company enters into forward foreign currency contracts which are utilized to hedge a portion of its foreign currency inventory purchases, local operating expenses, as well as its general economic exposure to foreign currency fluctuations created in the normal course of business. As of November 30, 2016, the total net fair value of our forward foreign currency contracts recorded in Accrued expenses and other liabilities and Prepaid expenses and other current assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet was $850. Total gains recognized related to forward foreign currency contracts settled during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 were $160 and $582, respectively, compared to $747 and $2,921 during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2015, respectively.

Interest

In connection with the Amended Credit Facility and the Florida Mortgage, we have debt outstanding in the amount of $100,151 and $9,238, respectively, at November 30, 2016. Interest on the Amended Credit Facility is charged at a range of LIBOR plus 0.75 - 2.25% and interest on the Florida Mortgage is charged at 70% of 1-month LIBOR plus 1.54%. We have one interest rate swap for a portion of the Amended Credit Facility with a notional amount of $3,750 at November 30, 2016, as well as one interest rate swap for the Florida Mortgage with a notional amount of $9,238 at November 30, 2016. These swaps lock interest rates at 0.515% (exclusive of credit spread) on the hedged Amended Credit Facility balance through February 28, 2017, and 3.48% (inclusive of credit spread) on the Florida Mortgage through the mortgage end date of March 2026.

As of November 30, 2016, the total net fair value of our interest rate swaps recorded in Other liabilities and Prepaid expenses and other current assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet was $(361), which represents the amount that would be received/(paid) upon unwinding the interest rate swap agreements based on market conditions on that date. Changes in the fair value of these interest rate swap agreements are reflected as an adjustment to other assets or liabilities with an offsetting adjustment to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) since the hedges are deemed fully effective. During the nine months ended November 30, 2016, the Company unwound one of its interest rate swaps, resulting in a charge to interest expense of $(114), representing the fair value of the interest rate swap on the date of the unwind.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, these disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of November 30, 2016 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its filing under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

There were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the three month period ended November 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
