PART I

Item 1 — Business

Audiovox Corporation (‘‘Audiovox’’, ‘‘We’’, ‘‘Our’’, ‘‘Us’’ or ‘‘Company’’) is a leading international distributor and value added service provider in the accessory, mobile and consumer electronics industries. We conduct our business through five wholly-owned subsidiaries: American Radio Corp., Audiovox Electronics Corporation (‘‘AEC’’), Audiovox German Holdings GmbH (‘‘Audiovox Germany’’), Audiovox Venezuela, C.A and Code Systems, Inc. (‘‘Code’’). We market our products under the Audiovox® brand name and other brand names, such as Acoustic Research®, Advent®, Ambico®, Car Link®, Chapman®, Code-Alarm®, Discwasher®, Heco®, Jensen®, Mac Audio®, Magnate®, Movies 2 Go®, Phase Linear®, Prestige®, Pursuit®, RCA®, Recoton®, Road Gear® and Spikemaster®, as well as private labels through a large domestic and international distribu tion network. We also function as an OEM (‘‘Original Equipment Manufacturer’’) supplier to several customers and presently have one reportable segment (‘‘Electronics’’), which is organized by product category.

Audiovox was incorporated in Delaware on April 10, 1987, as successor to a business founded in 1960 by John J. Shalam, our Chairman and controlling stockholder. Our extensive distribution network and long-standing industry relationships have allowed us to benefit from growing market opportunities and emerging niches in the electronics business.

We make available financial information, news releases and other information on our web site at www.audiovox.com. There is a direct link from the web site to the Securities and Exchange Commissions (SEC) filings web site, where our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to these reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are available free of charge as soon as reasonably practicable after we file such reports and amendments with, or furnish them to the SEC. In addition, we have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics which is available free of charge upon request. Any such request should be directed to the attention of: Chris Lis Johnson, Company Secretary, 180 Marcus Boulevard, Hauppauge, New York 11788, (631) 231-7750.

Acquisitions

On March 5, 2007 (subsequent to year end), Audiovox German Holdings GmbH completed the acquisition of OEHLBACH Kabel GmbH, a European market leader in the accessories field, for a

2




Table of Contents

total purchase price of approximately $6,600, in addition to certain earn-out payments. The purpose of this acquisition was to expand our electronics accessory product line to international markets.

On January 29, 2007, we completed the acquisition of Thomson’s Americas consumer electronics accessory business for a total purchase price of approximately $60,485 plus a five year fee related to the RCA brand in connection with future sales. The purpose of this acquisition was to enhance our market share in the accessory business, which includes the rights to the RCA brand for consumer electronics accessories as well as the Recoton, Spikemaster, Ambico and Discwasher brands for use on any product category and the Jensen, Advent, Acoustic Research and Road Gear brands for consumer electronics accessories.

On January 4, 2005, we purchased certain assets and liabilities of Terk Technologies Corp. (‘‘Terk’’) for $15,274, as adjusted. The purpose of this acquisition was to increase our market share for satellite radio products as well as accessories, such as antennas for HDTV products.

On July 8, 2003 we acquired, for $40,406, the U.S. audio operations of Recoton and the outstanding capital stock of Recoton German Holdings GmbH. The primary reason for this transaction was to expand the product offerings of Audiovox and to obtain certain long-standing trademarks such as Jensen® and Acoustic Research®.

Refer to Note 4 ‘‘Business Acquisitions’’ of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the aforementioned acquisitions.

Divestitures (Discontinued Operations)

On November 7, 2005, we completed the sale of our majority owned subsidiary, Audiovox Malaysia (‘‘AVM’’) to the then current minority interest shareholder due to increased competition from non-local OEM’s and deteriorating credit quality of local customers.

On November 1, 2004, we completed the divestiture of our Cellular business (formerly known as ‘‘ACC’’, ‘‘Cellular’’ or ‘‘Wireless’’) to UTStarcom, Inc. (‘‘UTSI’’). After paying outstanding domestic obligations, taxes and other costs associated with the divestiture, we received net proceeds of approximately $144,053. We plan to utilize the net proceeds to pursue strategic and complementary acquisitions or invest in our current operations. However, we may use all or a portion of the net proceeds for other purposes and are considering all opportunities.

These divestitures have been presented as discontinued operations, as such, certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts in order to conform to the current period presentation. Refer to Note 2 ‘‘Discontinued Operations’’ of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the aforementioned divestitures.

Strategy

Our objective is to grow our business by acquiring new brands and embracing new technologies and applying those to a continued stream of new products that should increase gross margins and improve operating income. In addition, we plan to continue to acquire synergistic companies that would allow us to leverage overhead, penetrate new markets or expand existing business.

The key elements of our strategy are as follows:

Capitalize on the Audiovox® family of brands.    We believe the ‘‘Audiovox®’’ family of brands, which includes Acoustic Research®, Advent®, Ambico< sup style="vertical-align:top;">®, Car Link®, Chapman®, Code-Alarm®, Discwasher®, Heco®, Jensen®, Mac Audio®, Magnate®, Movies 2 Go®, Phase Linear®, Prestige®, Pursuit®, RCA®, Recoton®, Road Gear® and Spikemaster®, is one of our greatest strengths and offers us significant opportunity for increased market penetration. To further benefit from the Audiovox® brands, we continue to invest and introduce new products using our brand names.

Capitalize on niche product and distribution opportunities in the electronics industry.    We intend to use our extensive distribution and supply networks to capitalize on niche product and distribution opportunities in categories like satellite radio, collision avoidance, accessories, home theater systems, navigation, mobile video, DVD’s, flat panel TVs and GMRS radios.

Table of Contents

Leverage our distribution network.    We believe our distribution network which includes power retailers, mass merchandisers, distributors, car dealers and OEM’s will allow us to increase market penetration.

Grow our international presence.    We continue to expand our international presence in Europe through Audiovox Germany and will continue to pursue additional business opportunities through acquisitions as well as new market opportunities.

Pursue strategic and complementary acquisitions.    We continue to monitor economic and industry conditions in order to evaluate potential synergistic business acquisitions that would allow us to leverage overhead, penetrate new markets or expand our existing business distribution.

Continue to outsource manufacturing to increase operating leverage.    A key component of our business strategy is outsourcing the manufacturing of our products, which allows us to deliver the latest technological advances without the fixed costs associated with manufacturing.

Monitor operating expenses.    We maintain continuous focus on evaluating the current business structure in order to create operating efficiencies, including investments in management information systems, with the primary goal of increasing operating income.

Industry

We participate in selected categories in the mobile and consumer electronics and accessories market. The mobile and consumer electronics industries are large and diverse and encompass a broad range of products. The significant competitors in our industries are Sony, Panasonic, JVC, Kenwood, Alpine, Directed Electronics, Phillips, Monster Cable and Delphi. There are other companies that specialize in niche products such as those we offer.

The introduction of new products and technological advancements are the major growth drivers in the electronics industry. Currently, new products include, but are not limited to, satellite radio, installed and portable DVD mobile video systems, rear observation and collision avoidance systems, flat panel TVs, hand held GPS, innovative home speaker systems, navigation systems with real time traffic information and digital multi-media products.

Products

Our electronic products consist of two major categories: Mobile Electronics and Consumer Electronics.

Mobile electronics products include:

  mobile multi-media video products, including in-dash, overhead, headrest and portable mobile video systems,
  autosound products including CD radios, speakers, amplifiers and CD changers,
  satellite radios including plug and play models and direct connect models,
  automotive security and remote start systems,
  car to car portable navigation systems,
  rear observation and collision avoidance systems,
  automotive power accessories,
  Home electronic accessories such as cabling and performance enhancing electronics, and
  Accessories such as remotes, iPod specialized products, wireless headphones and other connectivity products.

Table of Contents

Consumer electronics products include:

  LCD and Plasma flat panel televisions,
  Home and portable stereos,
  HDTV Antennas, WiFi Antennas and HDMI accessories,
  Two-way radios, digital multi-media products such as personal video recorders and MP3 products,
  Home speaker systems and home theater in a box,
  Portable DVD players, and
  Flat panel TV mounting systems.

Net sales by product category are as follows:


  Year
Ended
February 28,
2007
Three Months
Ended
February 28,
2006
Years ended
November 30,
  2005 2004
Mobile electronics $ 317,355 $ 70,814 $ 339,355 $ 403,196
Consumer electronics 139,335 32,236 200,361 160,457
Total net sales $ 456,690 $ 103,050 $ 539,716 $ 563,653

Core mobile electronics products were adversely affected by lower remote start sales due to the mild winter and lower selling prices of maturing mobile multimedia products, which was offset by the addition of one month of accessory sales as a result of the acquisition of the Thomson North American accessory business in January 2007. In addition, average selling prices on LCD TVs and Plasma TVs declined during the year ended February 28, 2007. In anticipation of declining sales prices we limited inventory for the holiday season, which adversely affected consumer electronics sales but reduced exposure from post holiday inventory write downs.

Gross margins have improved and we anticipate further increases in margins through the introduction of new products with technologies that take advantage of market opportunities created by the digital convergence of data, navigation and entertainment.

Licensing and Royalties

We have various license and royalty programs with manufacturers, customers and other electronic suppliers. Such agreements entitle us to receive license and royalty income for Audiovox products sold by the licensees without adding any significant costs. Depending on the terms of each agreement, income is based on either a fixed amount per unit or percentage of net sales. Current license and royalty agreements have duration periods, which range from 1 to 8 years and certain agreements may be renewed at the end of termination of the agreement. Renewals of license and royalty agreements are dependent on negotiations with licensees as well as current Audiovox products being sold by the licensee.

License and royalty income is recorded upon sale to the end-user and amounted to $2,200, $537, $1,959 and $2,024 for the year ended February 28, 2007, the three months ended February 28, 2006 and the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Distribution and Marketing

We sell our products to:

  power retailers,
  mass merchants,
  regional chain stores,

5




Table of Contents
  specialty and internet retailers,
  independent 12 volt retailers,
  distributors,
  new car dealers,
  vehicle equipment manufacturers (OEM), and
  the U.S. military

We sell our products under OEM arrangements with domestic and/or international subsidiaries of automobile manufacturers such as Ford Motor Company, Daimler Chrysler, General Motors Corporation, Toyota, Kia, Mazda, Jaguar and Subaru. These projects require a close partnership with the customer as we develop products to meet specific requirements. OEM projects accounted for approximately 11%, 13%, 10% and 14% of net sales for the year ended February 28, 2007, the three months ended February 28, 2006 and the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Our five largest customers represented 18%, 16%, 24%, and 27% of net sales during the year ended February 28, 2007, the three months ended February 28, 2006 and the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. During the year ended February 28, 2007, the three months ended February 28, 2006 and the year ended November 30, 2005, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales. During the year ended November 30, 2004, one customer accounted for 11% of net sales.

We also provide value-added management services, which include:

  product design and development,
  engineering and testing,
  sales training,
  instore display design,
  installation training and technical support,
  product repair services and warranty,
  nationwide installation network, and
  warehousing.

We have flexible shipping policies designed to meet customer needs. In the absence of specific customer instructions, we ship products within 24 to 48 hours from the receipt of an order from public warehouses and leased facilities throughout the United States, Venezuela and Germany.

Product Development, Warranty and Customer Service

Our product development cycle includes:

  identifying consumer trends and potential demand,
  responding to those trends through product design and feature integration, which includes software design, electrical engineering, industrial design and pre-production testing. In the case of OEM customers, the product development cycle may also include product validation to customer quality standards, and
  evaluating and testing new products in our own facilities to ensure compliance with our design specifications and standards.

We work closely with customers and suppliers throughout the product design, testing and development process in an effort to meet the expectations of consumer demand for technologically-advanced and high quality products. Our Hauppauge, New York facility is ISO 14001:2004, ISO/TS 1649:2002 certified, which requires the monitoring of quality standards in all facets of business.

Table of Contents

We are committed to providing product warranties for all our product lines, which generally range from 90 days up to the life of the vehicle for the original owner on some automobile-installed products. To support our warranties, we have independent warranty centers throughout the United States, Europe and Venezuela. We have a customer service group that provides product information, answers questions and serves as a technical hotline for installation help for end-users and customers.

Suppliers

We work directly with our suppliers on industrial design, feature sets, development and product testing in order to ensure that our products are manufactured to our design specifications.

We purchase our products from manufacturers located in several Pacific Rim countries, including Japan, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and the United States. In selecting our manufacturers, we consider quality, price, service and reputation. In order to provide local supervision of supplier performance such as price negotiations, delivery and quality control, we maintain buying offices or inspection offices in Malaysia, Taiwan, South Korea, China and Hong Kong. We consider relations with our suppliers to be good and alternative sources of supply are generally available within 120 days. We do not have long-term contracts with our suppliers and generally purchase our products under short-term purchase orders. Although we believe that our alternative sources of supply are currently available, an unplanned shift to a new supplier could result in product delays and increased cost, which may have a material impact on our operations.

Competition

The electronics industry is highly competitive across all product categories, and we compete with a number of well-established companies that manufacture and sell similar products. Brand name, design, features and price are the major competitive factors within the electronics industry. Our Mobile Electronic products compete against factory-supplied products, including those provided by, among others, General Motors, Ford and Daimler Chrysler. Our Mobile Electronic products also compete in the automotive aftermarket against major companies such as Sony, Panasonic, Kenwood, Alpine, Directed Electronics, Pioneer, Dual and Delphi. Our Consumer Electronics product lines compete against major companies, such as JVC, Sony, Panasonic, Phillips, Monster Cable and AIWA.

Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations

The amounts of net sales and long-lived assets, attributable to foreign and domestic operations for all periods presented are set forth in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financials Statements, included herein.

Equity Investment

We have a 50% non-controlling ownership interest in Audiovox Specialized Applications, Inc. (‘‘ASA’’) which acts as a distributor to specialized markets for specialized vehicles, such as RV’s and van conversions, of televisions and other automotive sound, security and accessory products. The goal of this equity investment is to blend financial and product resources with local operations in an effort to expand our distribution and marketing capabilities.

Employees

As of February 28, 2007, we employed approximately 840 people worldwide. We consider our relations with employees to be good and no employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements.

Item 1A — Risk Factors

We have identified certain risk factors that apply to us. You should carefully consider each of the following risk factors and all of the other information included or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K. If any of these risks, or other risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe

7




Table of Contents

not to be significant, develop into actual events, then our business, financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations could be adversely affected. If that happens, the market price of our common stock would likely decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

We could spend or invest the net proceeds from the sale of the Cellular business in ways with which Audiovox stockholders may not agree, including the possible pursuit of other market opportunities, including acquisitions.

The investment of these net proceeds may not yield a favorable return. In addition, because the market for our remaining businesses is often evolving, in the future, we may discover new opportunities that are more attractive. As a result, we may commit resources to these alternative market opportunities, including acquisitions. This action may require us to limit our currently planned focus on the current businesses. If we change the business focus, we may face risks that may be different from the risks associated with our current business.

The asset purchase agreement with UTSI exposes the Company to contingent liabilities.

Under the asset purchase agreement for the sale of the Cellular business to UTSI we agreed to indemnify UTSI for any breach or violation of ACC and its representations, warranties and covenants contained in the asset purchase agreement and for other matters, subject to certain limitations. Significant indemnification claims by UTSI could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We will be unable to compete in the Cellular business for five years from the date of the sale of our former Cellular business.

The asset purchase agreement with UTSI provided that for a period of five years after the closing on November 1, 2004, we will not compete, directly or indirectly, in the Cellular business or, without the prior written consent of UTSI, directly or indirectly, own an interest in, manage, operate, control, as a partner, stockholder or otherwise, any person that competes in the Cellular business, subject to certain exceptions.

Our success will depend on a less diversified line of business.

The sale of the Cellular business constituted a significant portion of our assets and revenues. As such, our asset base and revenues have changed significantly from those existing prior to the divestiture. Currently, we generate substantially all of our sales from the Consumer and Mobile Electronics businesses. We cannot assure you that we can grow the revenues of our Electronics business or maintain profitability. As a result, the Company’s revenues and profitability will depend on our ability to maintain and generate additional customers. A reduction in demand for the products and services would have a material adverse effect on our business. The sustainability of current levels of our Electronics business and the future growth of such revenues, if any, will depend on, among other factors:

  the overall performance of the economy,
  competition within key markets,
  customer acceptance of products and services, and
  the demand for other products and services.

We cannot assure you that we will maintain or increase our current level of revenues or profits from the Electronics business in future periods.

The Electronics Business Is Highly Competitive and Faces Significant Competition from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Direct Imports By Our Retail Customers.

The market for electronics is highly competitive across all product lines. We compete against many established companies who have substantially greater financial and engineering resources than

8




Table of Contents

we do. We compete directly with OEMs, including divisions of well-known automobile manufacturers, in the autosound, auto security, mobile video and accessories industry. We believe that OEMs have diversified and improved their product offerings and place increased sales pressure on new car dealers with whom they have close business relationships to purchase that OEM-supplied equipment and accessories. To the extent that OEMs succeed in their efforts, this success would have a material adverse effect on our sales of automotive entertainment and security products to new car dealers. In addition, we compete with major retailers who may at any time choose to direct import products that we may currently supply.

We Do Not Have Long-term Sales Contracts with Any of Our Customers.

Sales of our products are made by written purchase orders and are terminable at will by either party. The unexpected loss of all or a significant portion of sales to any one of our large customers could have a material adverse effect on our performance.

Sales in Our Electronics Business Are Dependent on New Products and Consumer Acceptance.

Our Electronics business depends, to a large extent, on the introduction and availability of innovative products and technologies. Significant sales of new products in niche markets, such as navigation, satellite radios, flat-panel TVs and mobile video systems, have fueled the recent growth of our Electronics business. If we are not able to continually introduce new products that achieve consumer acceptance, our sales and profit margins may decline.

Since We Do Not Manufacture Our Products, We Depend on Our Suppliers to Provide Us with Adequate Quantities of High Quality Competitive Products on a Timely Basis.

We do not manufacture our products, and we do not have long-term contracts with our suppliers. Most of our products are imported from suppliers under short-term purchase orders. Accordingly, we can give no assurance that:

  our supplier relationships will continue as presently in effect,
  our suppliers will not become competitors,
  our suppliers will be able to obtain the components necessary to produce high-quality, technologically-advanced products for us,
  we will be able to obtain adequate alternatives to our supply sources should they be interrupted,
  if obtained, alternatively sourced products of satisfactory quality would be delivered on a timely basis, competitively priced, comparably featured or acceptable to our customers, and
  our suppliers have sufficient financial resources to fulfill their obligations.

On occasion our suppliers have not been able to produce the quantities of products that we desire. Our inability to supply sufficient quantities of products that are in demand could reduce our profitability and have a material adverse effect on our relationships with our customers. If any of our supplier relationships were terminated or interrupted, we could experience an immediate or long-term supply shortage, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The Impact of Future Selling Prices and Technological Advancements may cause Price Erosion and Adversely Impact our Profitability and Inventory Value

Since we do not make any of our own products and do not conduct our own research, we cannot assure you that we will be able to source technologically advanced products in order to remain competitive. Furthermore, the introduction or expected introduction of new products or technologies may depress sales of existing products and technologies. This may result in declining prices and inventory obsolescence. Since we maintain a substantial investment in product inventory, declining prices and inventory obsolescence could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

Table of Contents

Our estimates of excess and obsolete inventory may prove to be inaccurate, in which case the provision required for excess and obsolete inventory may be understated or overstated. Although we make every effort to ensure the accuracy of our forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand or technological developments could have a significant impact on the value of our inventory and operating results.

Because We Purchase a Significant Amount of Our Products from Suppliers in Pacific Rim Countries, We Are Subject to the Economic Risks Associated with Changes in the Social, Political, Regulatory and Economic Conditions Inherent in These Countries.

We import most of our products from suppliers in the Pacific Rim. Countries in the Pacific Rim have experienced significant social, political and economic upheaval over the past several years. Due to the large concentrations of our purchases in Pacific Rim countries, particularly Japan, China, Malaysia, South Korea, and Taiwan, any adverse changes in the social, political, regulatory and economic conditions in these countries may materially increase the cost of the products that we buy from our foreign suppliers or delay shipments of products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, our dependence on foreign suppliers forces us to order products further in advance than we would if our products were manufactured domestically. This increases the risk that our products will become obsolete or face selling price reductions before we can sell our inventory.

We Plan to Expand the International Marketing and Distribution of Our Products, Which Will Subject Us to Additional Business Risks.

As part of our business strategy, we intend to increase our international sales, although we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so. Conducting business outside of the United States subjects us to significant additional risks, including:

  export and import restrictions, tax consequences and other trade barriers,
  currency fluctuations,
  greater difficulty in accounts receivable collections,
  economic and political instability,
  foreign exchange controls that prohibit payment in U.S. dollars, and
  increased complexity and costs of managing and staffing international operations.

Our Products Could Infringe the Intellectual Property Rights of Others and We May Be Exposed to Costly Litigation.

The products we sell are continually changing as a result of improved technology. Although we and our suppliers attempt to avoid infringing known proprietary rights of third parties in our products, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims for alleged infringement by us, our suppliers or our distributors, of third party’s patents, trade secrets, trademarks or copyrights.

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 us to either enter into royalty or license agreements which are not advantageous to us or pay material amounts of damages. In addition, parties making these claims may be able to obtain an injunction, which could prevent us from selling our products. We may increasingly be subject to infringement claims as we expand our product offerings.

If Our Sales During the Holiday Season Fall below Our Expectations, Our Annual Results Could Also Fall below Expectations.

Seasonal consumer shopping patterns significantly affect our business. We generally make a substantial amount of our sales and net income during September, October and November. We expect this trend to continue. December is also a key month for us, due largely to the increase in

10




Table of Contents

promotional activities by our customers during the holiday season. If the economy faltered in these periods, if our customers altered the timing or frequency of their promotional activities or if the effectiveness of these promotional activities declined, particularly around the holiday season, it could have a material adverse effect on our annual financial results.

A Decline in General Economic Conditions Could Lead to Reduced Consumer Demand for the Discretionary Products We Sell.

Consumer spending patterns, especially discretionary spending for products such as mobile and consumer electronics, are affected by, among other things, prevailing economic conditions, energy costs, wage rates, inflation, consumer confidence and consumer perception of economic conditions. A general slowdown in the U.S. economy or an uncertain economic outlook could have a material adverse effect on our sales.

Acquisitions and Strategic Investments May Divert Our Resources and Management Attention; Results May Fall Short of Expectations.

We intend to continue pursuing selected acquisitions of and investments in business, technologies and product lines as a key component of our growth strategy. Any future acquisition or investment may result in the use of significant amounts of cash, potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, incurrence of debt and amortization expenses related to intangible assets. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including:

  difficulties in the integration and assimilation of the operations, technologies, products and personnel of an acquired business;
  diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns;
  increased expenses associated with the acquisition; and
  potential loss of key employees or customers of any acquired business.

We cannot assure you that our acquisitions will be successful and will not adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We have recorded goodwill and other intangible assets as a result of acquisitions, and changes in future business conditions could cause these investments to become impaired, requiring substantial write-downs that would reduce our operating income.

Goodwill and other intangible assets recorded on our balance sheet as of February 28, 2007 was $75,388. We evaluate the recoverability of recorded goodwill and other intangible asset amounts annually, or when evidence of potential impairment exists. The annual impairment test is based on several factors requiring judgment. Changes in our operating performance or business conditions, in general, could result in an impairment of goodwill and/or other intangible assets, which could be material to our results of operations.

We Depend Heavily on Existing Directors, Management and Key Personnel and Our Ability to Recruit and Retain Qualified Personnel.

Our success depends on the continued efforts of our directors, executives and senior vice presidents, many of whom have worked with Audiovox for over two decades, as well as our other executive officers and key employees. We have no employment contracts, with any of our executive officers or key employees. The loss or interruption of the continued full-time service of certain of our executive officers and key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business.

In addition, to support our continued growth, we must effectively recruit, develop and retain additional qualified personnel both domestically and internationally. Our inability to attract and retain necessary qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We Are Responsible for Product Warranties and Defects.

Even though we outsource manufacturing, we provide warranties for all of our products for which we have provided an estimated liability. Therefore, we are highly dependent on the quality of our supplier’s products.

Our Capital Resources May Not Be Sufficient to Meet Our Future Capital and Liquidity Requirements.

We believe that we currently have sufficient resources to fund our existing operations for the foreseeable future. However, we may need additional capital to operate our business if:

  market conditions change,
  our business plans or assumptions change,
  we make significant acquisitions, and
  we need to make significant increases in capital expenditures or working capital.

Our Stock Price Could Fluctuate Significantly.

The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly in response to various factors and events, including:

  operating results being below market expectations,
  announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors,
  loss of a major customer or supplier,
  changes in, or our failure to meet, financial estimates by securities analysts,
  industry developments,
  economic and other external factors,
  general downgrading of our industry sector by securities analysts, and
  inventory write-downs

In addition, the securities markets have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations over the past several years that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

John J. Shalam, Our Chairman, Owns a Significant Portion of Our Common Stock and Can Exercise Control over Our Affairs.

Mr. Shalam beneficially owns approximately 55% of the combined voting power of both classes of common stock. This will allow him to elect our Board of Directors and, in general, to determine the outcome of any other matter submitted to the stockholders for approval. Mr. Shalam’s voting power may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company.

We have two classes of common stock: Class A common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol VOXX and Class B common stock, which is not publicly traded and substantially all of which is beneficially owned by Mr. Shalam. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes per share. Both classes vote together as a single class, except in certain circumstances, for the election and removal of directors and as otherwise may be required by Delaware law. Since our charter permits shareholder action by written consent, Mr. Shalam may be able to take significant corporate actions without prior notice and a shareholder meeting.

Other Risks

Other risks and uncertainties include:

  changes in U.S. federal, state and local law,
  our ability to implement operating cost structures that align with revenue growth,
  trade sanctions against or for foreign countries,

  successful integration of business acquisitions and new brands in our distribution network, and
  compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Item 1B — Unresolved Staff Comments

As of the filing of this annual report on Form 10-K, there were no unresolved comments from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 2 — Properties

Our Corporate headquarters is located at 180 Marcus Blvd. in Hauppauge, New York. In addition, as of February 28, 2007, the Company leased a total of 18 operating facilities or offices located in 9 states as well as Germany, China, Malaysia, Canada and Venezuela. The leases have been classified as operating leases, with the exception of one, which is recorded as a capital lease. These facilities are located in California, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Tennessee, Indiana and Michigan. These facilities serve as offices, warehouses, distribution centers or retail locations. Additionally, we utilize public warehouse facilities located in Virginia, Nevada and Mississippi.

Item 3 — Legal Proceedings

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 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 these specific matters below:

In November 2004, several purported double derivative, derivative and class actions were filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County challenging approximately $27,000 made in payments from the proceeds of the Asset Sale to UTStarcom, Inc. These actions were subsequently consolidated into a single derivative complaint (the ‘‘Complaint’’), In re Audiovox Corporation Derivative Litigation. The Complaint challenges the payment of $16,000 to Mr. Christopher pursuant to a Personally Held Intangibles Agreement, an additional $4,000 to Mr. Christopher pursuant to an Agreement and General Release, $1,916 to Mr. Shalam pursuant to an amendment to his Long-Term Incentive Award, $5,000 distributed to ACC employees other than Mr. Christopher and the e xtension of certain options to Mr. Christopher. The Complaint alleges that: (i) the payments should be rescinded on grounds including, inter alia, material misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty and mistake, (ii) the recipients of the various payments were unjustly enriched, and (iii) the directors of Audiovox breached their fiduciary duties to Audiovox and its shareholders. This matter has been settled in principle for an estimated payment of $6,750 to the Company (less plaintiffs’ legal fees, costs of notice and mailing, etc., all to be determined). The settlement will not become final until a hearing and Court of Chancery approval in May 2007. As this represents a gain contingency, these amounts will not be recorded until received and such amount will be recorded within discontinued operations when received.

Certain consolidated class actions transferred to a Multi-District Litigation Panel of the United States District Court of the District of Maryland against the Company and other suppliers, manufacturers and distributors of hand-held wireless telephones alleging damages relating to exposure to radio frequency radiation from hand-held wireless telephones are still pending. No assurances regarding the outcome of this matter can be given, as the Company is unable to assess the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome or estimated loss or liability, if any. Accordingly, no estimated loss has been recorded for the aforementioned case.

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,

13




Table of Contents

the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims for alleged infringement by its suppliers or distributors, of third party patents, trade secrets, trademarks or copyrights. 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.

Under the asset purchase agreement for the sale of the Company’s Cellular business to UTSI, the Company agreed to indemnify UTSI for any breach or violation by ACC and its representations, warranties and covenants contained in the asset purchase agreement and for other matters, subject to certain limitations. Significant indemnification claims by UTSI could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operation. The Company is not aware of any such claim(s) for indemnification.

Item 4 — Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the quarter ended February 28, 2007.

Item 7   —   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations                     (‘‘MD&A’’)

This section should be read in conjunction with ‘‘Cautionary Statements’’ and ‘‘Risk Factors’’ in Item 1A of Part I, and Item 8 of Part II, ‘‘ Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.’’

We begin Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations with an overview of the business, including our strategy to give the reader a summary of the goals of our business and the direction in which our business is moving. This is followed by a discussion of the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments incorporated in our reported financial results. In the next section, we discuss our Results of Operations for the year ended February 28, 2007 compared to the year ended February 28, 2006, and for the year ended November 30, 2005 compared to the year ended November 30, 2004. We then provide an analysis of changes in our balance sheet and cash flows, and discuss our financial commitments in the sections entitled ‘‘Liquidity and Capital Resources, including Contractual and Commercial Commitment s’’. We conclude this MD&A with a discussion of ‘‘Related Party Transactions’’ and ‘‘Recent Accounting Pronouncements’’.

Acquisitions

On March 5, 2007 (subsequent to year end), Audiovox German Holdings GmbH completed the acquisition of OEHLBACH Kabel GmbH, a European market leader in the accessories field, for a total purchase price of approximately $6,600, in addition to certain earn-out payments. The purpose of this acquisition was to expand our electronics accessory product line to international markets.

On January 29, 2007, we completed the acquisition of Thomson’s Americas consumer electronics accessory business for a total purchase price of approximately $60,485 plus a five year fee related to the RCA brand in connection with future sales. The purpose of this acquisition was to enhance our market share in the accessory business, which includes the rights to the RCA brand for consumer electronics accessories as well as the Recoton, Spikemaster, Ambico and Discwasher brands for use on any product category and the Jensen, Advent, Acoustic Research and Road Gear brands for consumer electronics accessories.

On January 4, 2005, we purchased certain assets and liabilities of Terk Technologies Corp. (‘‘Terk’’) for $15,274, as adjusted. The purpose of this acquisition was to increase our market share for satellite radio products as well as accessories, such as antennas for HDTV products.

Divestitures

On November 7, 2005, we completed the sale of our majority owned subsidiary, Audiovox Malaysia (‘‘AVM’’), to the then current minority interest shareholder due to increased competition from non-local OEM’s and deteriorating credit quality of local customers. We sold our remaining equity in AVM in exchange for a $550 promissory note and were released from all of our Malaysian liabilities, including bank obligations resulting in a loss on sale of $2,079.

On November 1, 2004, we completed the divestiture of our Cellular business to UTSI. The Cellular business was a major driver in our growth over the past twenty years. However, consolidation within the Cellular industry, extensive price competition and the inability to successfully partner with a manufacturer created a difficult challenge to compete within the Cellular industry. The competitive nature of the Cellular business caused inconsistency in Cellular results, which led to the sale of selected assets and certain liabilities of our Cellular business to UTSI for an initial purchase price of $165,170, a working capital adjustment of $8,472 and the retention of certain account receivables of $148,494 for total gross proceeds of $322,136. After paying outstanding domestic obligations, taxes and other costs associated with the divestiture, we received net proceeds of approximately $144,053. As a result of the sale of the Cellular business, we recorded a gain of $67,000 within discontinued operations for the year ended November 30, 2004.

Currently, the remaining net proceeds from the Cellular divestiture has been invested in short-term investments with the intention of maintaining principal while generating a moderate return and maintaining liquidity in the account’s holdings. We have used and will continue to use the proceeds to pursue strategic and complementary acquisitions or invest in our current business. However, we may use all or a portion of the proceeds for other purposes and are considering all market opportunities.

Growth of Electronics Group

Electronics net sales have a compound growth rate of 26.5% from $361,087 for the year ended November 30, 2002 to $456,690 for the year ended February 28, 2007. During this period, our sales were impacted by the following items:

  acquisition and growth in Jensen sales,
  acquisition of Code-Alarm branded products,
  acquisition of Terk Technologies,
  acquisition of Thomson’s Americas consumer electronics accessory business,
  the introduction of new products and lines such as, portable DVD players, flat-panel TVs, satellite radio, GPS navigation and mobile multimedia,
  volatility in mobile and consumer sales due to increased competition and lower selling prices.

Strategy

Our objective is to grow our business by embracing new technologies and applying those to a continued stream of new products that should increase gross margins and improve operating income. In addition, we plan to continue to acquire synergistic companies that would allow us to leverage overhead, penetrate new markets or expand existing business.

The key elements of our strategy are:

  Capitalize on the Audiovox® family of brands,
  Capitalize on niche product and distribution opportunities in the electronics industry,
  Leverage our distribution network,
  Grow our international presence,
  Pursue strategic and complementary acquisitions,
  Continue to outsource manufacturing to increase operating leverage, and
  Continue to streamline operations and monitor operating expenses.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

General

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions, which can be subjective and complex, affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. As a result, actual results could differ from such estimates and assumptions. The significant accounting policies and estimates which we believe are the most critical in fully understanding and evaluating the reported consolidated financial results include the following:

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from product sales at the time of passage of title and risk of loss to the customer either at FOB Shipping Point or FOB Destination, based upon terms established with the customer. Any customer acceptance provisions, which are related to product testing, are satisfied prior to revenue recognition. We have no further obligations subsequent to revenue recognition except for returns of product from customers. We do accept returns of products, if properly requested, authorized and approved. We continuously monitor and track such product returns and record the provision for the estimated amount of such future returns at point of sale, based on historical experience and any notification we receive of pending returns.

20




Table of Contents

Sales Incentives

We offer sales incentives to our customers in the form of (1) co-operative advertising allowances; (2) market development funds; (3) volume incentive rebates and (4) other trade allowances. We account for sales incentives in accordance with EITF 01-9, ‘‘Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of Vendor’s Products)’’ (EITF 01-9). Except for other trade allowances, all sales incentives require the customer to purchase our products during a specified period of time. All sales incentives require customers to claim the sales incentive within a certain time period (referred to as the ‘‘claim period’’) and claims are settled either by the customer claiming a deduction against an outstanding account receivable or by the customer requesting a check. All costs associated with sales incentives are classified as a reduction of net sales, and the following is a sum mary of the various sales incentive programs:

Co-operative advertising allowances are offered to customers as a reimbursement towards their costs for print or media advertising in which our product is featured on its own or in conjunction with other companies’ products. The amount offered is either a fixed amount or is based upon a fixed percentage of sales revenue or fixed amount per unit sold to the customer during a specified time period.

Market development funds are offered to customers in connection with new product launches or entrance into new markets. The amount offered for new product launches is based upon a fixed amount or fixed percentage of our sales revenue to the customer or a fixed amount per unit sold to the customer during a specified time period. We accrue the cost of co-operative advertising allowances and market development funds at the later of when the customer purchases our products or when the sales incentive is offered to the customer.

Volume incentive rebates offered to customers require that minimum quantities of product be purchased during a specified period of time. The amount offered is either based upon a fixed percentage of our sales revenue to the customer or a fixed amount per unit sold to the customer. We make an estimate of the ultimate amount of the rebate customers will earn based upon past history with the customer and other facts and circumstances. We have the ability to estimate these volume incentive rebates, as there does not exist a relatively long period of time for a particular rebate to be claimed. Any changes in the estimated amount of volume incentive rebates are recognized immediately using a cumulative catch-up adjustment.

Other trade allowances are additional sales incentives that we provide to customers subsequent to the related revenue being recognized. In accordance with EITF 01-9, we record the provision for these additional sales incentives at the later of when the sales incentive is offered or when the related revenue is recognized. Such additional sales incentives are based upon a fixed percentage of the selling price to the customer, a fixed amount per unit, or a lump-sum amount.

The accrual balance for sales incentives at February 28, 2007 and 2006 was $7,410 and $8,512, respectively. Although we make our best estimate of sales incentive liabilities, many factors, including significant unanticipated changes in the purchasing volume and the lack of claims from customers could have a significant impact on the liability for sales incentives and reported operating results.

We reverse earned but unclaimed sales incentives based upon the expiration of the claim period of each program. Unclaimed sales incentives that have no specified claim period are reversed in the quarter following one year from the end of the program. We believe that the reversal of earned but unclaimed sales incentives upon the expiration of the claim period is a disciplined, rational, consistent and systematic method of reversing unclaimed sales incentives.

For the year ended February 28, 2007, the three months ended February 28, 2006 and the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004, reversals of previously established sales incentive liabilities amounted to $2,460, $480, $2,836 and $3,889, respectively. These reversals include unearned and unclaimed sales incentives. Unearned sales incentives are volume incentive rebates where the customer did not purchase the required minimum quantities of product during the specified time. Volume incentive rebates are reversed into income in the period when the customer did not reach the required minimum purchases of product during the specified time. Reversals of unearned sales

21




Table of Contents

incentives for the year ended February 28, 2007, the three months ended February 28, 2006 and the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004 amounted to $1,148, $0, $1,007, and $2,187, respectively. Unclaimed sales incentives are sales incentives earned by the customer but the customer has not claimed payment within the claim period (period after program has ended). Reversals of unclaimed sales incentives for the year ended February 28, 2007, the three months ended February 28, 2006 and the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004 amounted to $1,312, $480, $1,829 and $1,702, respectively.

Accounts Receivable

We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon payment history and current credit worthiness, as determined by a review of current credit information. We continuously monitor collections from our customers and maintain a provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. We record charges for estimated credit losses against operating expenses and charges for price adjustments against net sales in the consolidated financial statements. The reserve for estimated credit losses at February 28, 2007 and 2006 was $5,062 and $6,136, respectively. While such credit losses have historically been within management’s expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that have been experienced in the past. Since our accounts receivable are concentra ted in a relatively few number of customers, a significant change in the liquidity or financial position of any one of these customers could have a material adverse impact on the collectability of accounts receivable and our results of operations.

Inventories

We value our inventory at the lower of the actual cost to purchase (primarily on a weighted moving average basis) and/or the current estimated market value of the inventory less expected costs to sell the inventory. We regularly review inventory quantities on-hand and record a provision, in cost of sales, for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily from selling price reductions subsequent to the balance sheet date, indications from customers based upon current negotiations and purchase orders. A significant sudden increase in the demand for our products could result in a short-term increase in the cost of inventory purchases while a significant decrease in demand could result in an increase in the amount of excess inventory quantities on-hand. In addition, our industry is characterized by rapid technological change and frequent new product introductions that could result in an increase in the amount of obsolete inventory quantities on-hand. During the year ended February 28, 2007, the three months ended February 28, 2006 and the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004, we recorded inventory write-downs of $2,977, $689, $16,924 and $5,506, respectively.

Estimates of excess and obsolete inventory may prove to be inaccurate, in which case we may have understated or overstated the provision required for excess and obsolete inventory. Although we make every effort to ensure the accuracy of our forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand or technological developments could have a significant impact on the carrying value of inventory and our results of operations.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and other intangible assets, which consists of the excess cost over fair value of assets acquired (goodwill) and other intangible assets (patents, contracts, and trademarks) amounted to $75,388 at February 28, 2007. Goodwill, which includes equity investment goodwill, is calculated as the excess of the cost of purchased businesses over the value of their underlying net assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not amortized. Intangible assets that have a definite useful life are amortized over their estimated useful life.

On an annual basis, we test goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment. To determine the fair value of these intangible assets, there are many assumptions and estimates used that directly impact the results of the testing. We have the ability to influence the outcome and ultimate results based on the assumptions and estimates we choose. To mitigate undue influence, we set criteria that are reviewed and approved by various levels of management. Additionally, we evaluate our recorded

Table of Contents

intangible assets with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, as necessary. These impairment tests may result in impairment losses that could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

Warranties

We offer warranties of various lengths depending upon the specific product. Our standard warranties require us to repair or replace defective product returned by both end users and customers during such warranty period at no cost. We record an estimate for warranty related costs, in cost of sales, based upon actual historical return rates and repair costs at the time of sale. The estimated liability for future warranty expense, which has been included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, amounted to $5,856 and $5,314 at February 28, 2007 and 2006, respectively. While warranty costs have historically been within expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same warranty return rates or repair costs that have been experienced in the past. A significant increase in product return rates, or a significant increase in the costs to repair products, could have a material adverse impact o n our operating results.

Stock-Based Compensation

As discussed further in ‘‘Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 1 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,’’ we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (‘‘SFAS’’) No. 123(R) on December 1, 2005 using the modified prospective method. Through November 30, 2005 we accounted for our stock option plans under the intrinsic value method of Accounting Principles Board (‘‘APB’’) Opinion No. 25, and as a result no compensation costs had been recognized in our historical consolidated statements of operations.

We have used and expect to continue to use the Black-Sholes option pricing model to compute the estimated fair value of stock-based awards. The Black-Scholes option pricing model includes assumptions regarding dividend yields, expected volatility, expected option term and risk-free interest rates. The assumptions used in computing the fair value of stock-based awards reflect our best estimates, but involve uncertainties relating to market and other conditions, many of which are outside of our control. We estimate expected volatility by considering the historical volatility of our stock, the implied volatility of publicly traded stock options in our stock and our expectations of volatility for the expected term of stock-based compensation awards. As a result, if other assumptions or estimates had been used for options granted in the year ended February 28, 2007 and in prior periods, the stock-based compensation expense of $432 that was recorded for the year ended February 28, 2007 could have been materially different. Furthermore, if different assumptions are used in future periods, stock-based compensation expense could be materially impacted in the future.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, ‘‘Accounting for Income Taxes’’. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount of future tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized. We decrease the valuation allowance when, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that the amount of future tax benefit will be realized. While we have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, there is no assurance that the valuation allowance will not need to be increased to cover additional deferred tax assets that may not be realized. Any increase or decline in the valuation allowance could have a material adverse impact on our income tax provision and net income in the period in which such determination is made.

Furthermore, the Company provides loss contingencies for state and international tax matters relating to potential tax examination issues, planning initiatives and compliance responsibilities. The development of these reserves requires judgments about tax issues, potential outcomes and timing.

Segment

We have determined that we operate in one segment, the Electronics Group based on review of SFAS No. 131 ‘‘Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information’’. Characteristics of our operations which are relied on in making and reviewing business decisions include the similarities in our products, the commonality of our customers across brands, our unified marketing strategy, and the nature of the financial information used by our Executive Officers. Management reviews the financial results of the Company based on the performance of the Electronics Group.

Results of Operations

In February 2006, we changed our fiscal year end from November 30th to February 28th. Included in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K are the consolidated balance sheets at February 28, 2007 and 2006 and the consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended February 28, 2007, the three month transition period ending February 28, 2006 and the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004. In order to provide the reader meaningful comparison, the following analysis provides comparison of the audited year ended February&n bsp;28, 2007 with the unaudited year ended February 28, 2006 (derived from the results of operations of the last nine months of fiscal year ended November 30, 2005 and the transition quarter ended February 28, 2006) and the historical analysis for the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004. Refer to the previously filed Form 10-QT for the period of February 28, 2006, which discusses the operations of the three months ended February 28, 2006 compared to the three months ended February 28, 2005. We analyze and explain the differences between periods in the specific line items of the consolidated statements of operations.

Year ended February 28, 2007 compared to the year ended February 28, 2006

Continuing Operations

The following tables sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain statement of operations data for the years ended February 28, 2007 (‘‘fiscal 2007’’) and 2006 (‘‘fiscal 2006’’).

Total net sales $ 456,690 $ 526,786 $ (70,096 )  (13.3 )% 

Mobile Electronics, which represented 69.5% of net sales, were impacted by the absence of Rampage, Prestige and Video-in-a-Bag sales, which were the result of our decision to exit those product lines at the end of fiscal 2006. In addition, we suspended sales of Plug & Play XM satellite radio receivers for five months pending the outcome of a Federal Communication Commission (‘‘FCC’’) issue. Mobile sales were also adversely impacted by lower average selling prices in our mobile multi-media line due to the maturing of the category and increased competition in the market. This decrease was partially offset by increased sales in Phase Linear, Audiovox Germany, Code Systems and $10,335 in sales generated from the acquisition of Thomson Accessories business in January 2007.

Consumer Electronics, which represented 30.5% of net sales for fiscal 2007, decreased as average selling prices on LCD TVs and Plasma TVs declined during fiscal 2007. In anticipation of the decline in selling prices we limited inventory for the holiday season, which adversely affected consumer electronics sales but reduced exposure from post holiday inventory write downs. In addition, during fiscal 2007, the Company continued its policy of eliminating low margin retail programs which adversely impacted consumer sales.

Sales incentive expense decreased $4,524 to $12,501 for fiscal 2007 as a result of a decline in sales and increased reversals of $465. The increase in reversals is primarily due to an increase in reversals

24




Table of Contents

of unearned sales incentives as a result of large retail customers not reaching minimum sales targets required to earn sales incentive funds. We believe the reversal of earned but unclaimed sales incentives upon the expiration of the claim period is a disciplined, rational, consistent and systematic method of reversing unclaimed sales incentives. These sales incentive programs are expected to continue and will either increase or decrease based upon competition and customer demands.

Gross Profit

Fiscal
2006
Gross profit $ 79,319 $ 60,418
Gross margin percentage 17.4 %  11.5 % 

Gross margins increased to 17.4% for fiscal 2007 as compared to 11.5% for the prior year. Gross margins increased as a result of improving margins in the mobile category and improved inventory management which resulted in less inventory writedowns. Specifically, gross margins were favorably impacted by an $11,700 decrease (or 2.6% favorable impact) in inventory write downs primarily as a result of a $3,789 inventory adjustment related to satellite radio inventory and an $8,775 adjustment related to the discontinuance of certain products within select product lines recorded in the prior year.

Operating expenses decreased $1,070 or 1.3% for fiscal 2007, as compared to 2006. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses increased to 18.5% for fiscal 2007 from 16.2% in 2006 due to the decline in sales during the period. Operating expenses for fiscal 2007 includes stock-based compensation expense of $432, legal settlements of $1,588 and $1,180 of expenses from the newly acquired Thomson accessory business.

Selling expenses decreased $2,412 or 7.9% primarily due to a $1,924 decrease in commission expense as a result of the decline in commissionable sales. The remaining decline in selling expenses is primarily due to a decline in consumer and print media advertisements.

General and administrative expenses increased $277 or 0.6% due to the following:

  $719 increase in occupancy costs as a result of transition services costs necessary to support the newly acquired Thomson operations.
  $1,517 increase in employee benefits due to increased health care costs under the Company’s medical and dental plan as well as increased employer contributions to the 401(k) plan.

The above increases in general and administrative expenses were partially offset by the following:

  $476 decrease in professional fees due to reduced audit, legal and consulting costs, partially offset by $1,588 in legal settlements from claims by licensors during fiscal 2007,
  $817 decrease in bad debt expense due to a decline in the accounts receivable balance and improved collectibility efforts. The Company does not consider this to be a trend in the overall accounts receivable,
  increased MIS billings of $489 for services performed in connection with a transition service agreement.

Engineering and technical support expenses increased $1,065 or 17.2% due to an increase in direct labor as a result of wage increases and increased labor costs.

Total other income $ 7,235 $ 6,952 $ 283

Interest and bank charges decreased due to reductions in outstanding bank obligations and long term debt. Interest and bank charges represent expenses for debt and bank obligations of Audiovox Germany and Venezuela and interest for a capital lease.

Equity in income of equity investees increased due to increased equity income of Audiovox Specialized Applications, Inc. (‘‘ASA’’) as a result of increased sales and gross margins in the Jensen Audio and Voyager product lines.

Other income declined due to a one time $2,455 unrealized gain recorded during fiscal 2006 in connection with the Bliss-tel investment partially offset by an other than temporary impairment charge of $1,758 recorded for the CellStar investment during fiscal 2006. The decline in other income was further offset by increased interest income as a result of increased short-term investment holdings and higher interest rates as compared to the prior year.

Income Tax Benefit

The effective tax rate for fiscal 2007 was a benefit of 71.1% compared to a benefit of 68.1% in the prior period. The interest income earned on our short-term investments is tax exempt, which results in our effective tax rate being less than the statutory rate. The tax benefit for fiscal 2006 was positively impacted by the favorable outcome of $3,307 in tax accrual reductions due to the completion of certain tax examinations.

Income (loss) from Discontinued Operations

The following is a summary of results included within discontinued operations:

Included in loss from discontinued operations for fiscal 2006 is the financial results of Audiovox Malaysia which was sold on November 7, 2005. The loss from discontinued operations for fiscal 2007is primarily due to legal and related costs associated with contingencies pertaining to our discontinued Cellular business.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income for fiscal 2007 was $2,936 compared to a net loss of $8,203 in fiscal 2006. Income per share for fiscal 2007 was $0.13 (diluted) as compared to loss per share of $0.36 (diluted) for fiscal 2006. Net income (loss) was favorably impacted by sales incentive reversals of $2,460 ($1,501 after taxes) and $1,995 ($1,217 after taxes) for fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Total net sales $ 539,716 $ 563,653 $ (23,937 )  (4.3 )% 

Mobile Electronics sales, which represented 62.9% of net sales, was impacted by a shift in the mobile video category brought on by video-in-a-bag systems being replaced by lower priced portable DVD’s, increased presence by original equipment car manufacturers and lower SUV sales. In addition, sales were adversely impacted when reduced pricing by one of our competitors resulted in a significant reduction in pricing for satellite radio plug and play units. Sales were favorably impacted by the recent acquisition of Terk in January of 2005 and an increase in sales of Jensen mobile multimedia products.

Consumer Electronics sales, which represented 37.1% of net sales, showed growth as a result of increased demand for LCD flat-panel TV product lines and portable DVD Players.

Sales incentive expense increased $3,395 to $16,518 as a result of the shift in business to mass merchant and large retail customers. Also, the increase in sales incentive expense is attributable to a $1,053 decrease in reversals due to increased achievement of Volume Incentive Rebate programs as compared to the prior year. We believe that the reversal of earned but unclaimed sales incentives upon the expiration of the claim period is a disciplined, rational, consistent and systematic method of reversing unclaimed sales incentives. These sales incentive programs are expected to continue and will either increase or decrease based upon competition and customer demands.

Gross margin percentage 11.3 %  15.9 % 

Gross margins decreased to 11.3% for fiscal 2005 as compared to 15.9% for fiscal 2004. Gross margins were impacted by the following:

  Increased inventory writedowns of $11,418 from $5,506 (1.0% impact) in fiscal 2004 to $16,924 (3.1% impact) in fiscal 2005. The increase in writedowns was the result of:
  The Company’s: a) post holiday season review of inventory and sales projections, b) review of products which were at the end of their product life cycle at the completion of the fourth quarter, and c) market information obtained from industry competitors and customers regarding pricing and product demand at the January 2006 Consumer Electronics trade show, the Company decided to discontinue certain product lines resulting in a $9,972 inventory charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, which is primarily related to a $8,775 charge due to the discontinuance of certain products within select product lines.
  A $3,789 writedown recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2005 primarily for satellite radio plug and play products as a result of sudden reduced pricing by a competitor.
  Continual price erosion in the electronics industry due to increased competition and increased technological advancements in the electronics industry.

Table of Contents

Gross margins were also impacted by the following:

  Increased consumer product sales, which traditionally have lower gross margins than mobile products.
  Increased freight costs as a result of higher fuel prices, and increased shipments as a result of a change in sales mix.
  A shift in business to mass merchants and large retail customers caused margins to decline due to increased sales incentive expense. Reversals of sales incentive expense favorably impacted gross margins by 0.5% and 0.7% during fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively.
  Gross margins were favorably impacted by increased margins in Jensen mobile, Audiovox LCD TV’s and the Terk brand.

Selling expenses remained consistent with the prior year. Advertising expense declined $596 primarily due to a decline in print media advertising for Audiovox Germany offset by a $613 increase in commissions as a result of increased consumer electronics sales, changes in compensation programs related to commissionable sales for Jensen products and incremental selling expenses from the recently acquired Terk product line.

General and administrative expenses decreased as a result of the following:

  A decrease of $2,067 in professional fees due to a reduction in legal settlements, legal costs related to patent infringement cases and a decline in costs to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404.
  Officer salaries decreased $3,908 as a result of a decline in variable compensation due to reduced earnings and long-term incentive awards paid in connection with the sale of the Cellular business in fiscal 2004.
  Office salaries declined due to a reduction in headcount and includes a one-time severance charge of $471 for fiscal 2005.

The above decreases in general and administrative expense were partially offset by the following:

  $680 increase in occupancy costs due to the incremental costs to operate the Terk facility.
  $869 increase in bad debt expense due to the recoveries of previously written off bad debt in fiscal 2004, which did not recur in fiscal 2005.
  $462 increase in information technology costs due to the acquisition of Terk and increased software users.

Engineering and technical support increased due to an increase in direct labor as a result of the recent Terk acquisition and an increase in product complexity, which has resulted in hiring additional engineers and providing additional customer service.

Total other income $ 9,594 $ 2,654 $ 6,940

Interest expense and bank charges decreased primarily due to the reduction in outstanding bank obligations, as we repaid all amounts outstanding under our domestic bank obligations on November 1, 2004. Interest expense and bank charges during fiscal 2005 primarily represent expenses for debt and bank obligations of Audiovox Germany and interest for a capital lease.

Equity in income of equity investees decreased due to a decrease in the equity income of Audiovox Specialized Applications, LLC (‘‘ASA’’) as a result of decreased sales due to increased competition for van conversion products and a decline in sales to one major customer.

Other income increased due to a one-time $4,971 unrealized gain as a result of an initial public offering and stock appreciation of Bliss-tel stock and issuance of Bliss-tel warrants, a former equity investment. In addition, interest income increased $3,018 to $3,813 during fiscal 2005 due to returns on the purchase of short-term investments in November 2004. Furthermore, other income was favorably impacted by increased rental income as compared to the prior year. The increase in other income was partially offset by an other than temporary impairment charge of $1,758 recorded during fiscal 2005 for our Cellstar investment due to the extended decline in stock price of this investment.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for fiscal 2005 was 63.0% compared to 36.9% in the prior year. The income tax benefit for fiscal 2005 was primarily due to the pre-tax loss for fiscal 2005, tax-exempt interest income earned on short-term investments during fiscal 2005 and the favorable outcome of tax accrual reductions due to the completion of certain tax examinations.

Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, was a loss of $2,904 for fiscal 2005 compared to income of $77,136 for fiscal 2004. Included in loss from discontinued operations for fiscal 2005 is a loss of $2,079 on the sale of AVM. The decline in income from discontinued operations for fiscal 2005 is primarily due to the losses of AVM as well as the sale of Cellular business on November 1, 2004, which resulted in a $67,000 gain in fiscal 2004.

Net Income (loss)

Net loss for fiscal 2005 was $9,591, compared to net income of $77,200 in 2004. Loss per share for fiscal 2005 was $0.43 basic and diluted, as compared to earnings of $3.52 basic and $3.45 diluted for 2004. Net income (loss) was favorably impacted by sales incentive reversals of $2,836 and $5,083 (inclusive of discontinued operations) for fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively.

We believe the Electronics Group has an expanding market with a certain level of volatility related to both domestic and international new car sales, increased competition by manufacturers, technological advancements, price erosion and general economic conditions. As a result, all of our products are subject to price fluctuations, which could affect the carrying value of inventories and gross margins in the future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows, Commitments and Obligations

As of February 28, 2007, we had working capital of $302,613, which includes cash and short-term investments of $156,345 compared with working capital of $343,145 at February 28, 2006, which included cash and short-term investments of $177,079. The decrease in short-term investments is primarily due to the acquisition of Thomson’s Americas consumer electronics accessory business for $60,485 partially offset by improved inventory turnover and collection of accounts receivable. We plan to utilize our current cash position as well as collections from accounts receivable 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. The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for all periods presented:

Operating activities provided cash of $43,420 for the year ended February 28, 2007 due to: i) net income from continuing operations of $2,936, ii) decreased inventory balances as a result of increased turnover due to improved inventory management and iii) collection of income tax refunds. Cash provided or used by operating activities is primarily generated from net income from continuing operations, the collection of accounts receivable, inventory turnover and payment of accounts payable and income taxes. The timing of payments and collections can fluctuate and are often impacted by the timing of sales and inventory purchases.

Investing activities used cash of $40,897 during the year ended February 28, 2007, primarily due to the purchase of the Thomson Americas consumer electronics accessory business partially offset by the sales (net of purchases) of short-term investments. Cash provided or used by investing activities is primarily generated from activity related to investments as well as acquisitions and divestitures.

Financing activities used $3,449 during the year ended February 28, 2007, primarily from the purchase of treasury stock and payment of bank obligations and debt partially offset by proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and warrants. The increased cash usage from financing activities during the year ended November 30, 2004 is primarily due to the full repayment of all domestic bank obligations outstanding as a result of the sale of the Cellular business.

As of February 28, 2007, we have a domestic credit line to fund the temporary short-term working capital needs of the Company. This line expires on August 31, 2007 and allows aggregate borrowings of up to $25,000 at an interest rate of Prime (or similar designations) plus 1%. In addition, Audiovox Germany has a 16,000 Euro accounts receivable factoring arrangement and a 6,000 Euro Asset-Based Lending (‘‘ABL’’) credit facility and a $1,000 Venezuela credit facility.

(2) We enter into operating leases in the normal course of business.
(3) Represents amounts outstanding under the Audiovox Germany factoring agreement at February 28, 2007.
(4) Commercial letters of credit are issued during the ordinary course of business through major domestic banks as requested by certain suppliers. We also issue standby letters of credit to secure certain bank obligations and insurance requirements.
(5) Represents amounts outstanding under a loan agreement for Audiovox Germany. This amount also includes amounts due under a call-put option with certain employees of Audiovox Germany.
(6) Open purchase obligations represent inventory commitments. These obligations are not recorded in the consolidated financial statements until commitments are fulfilled and 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, access to equity capital markets, taken together, provides 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.

Impact of Inflation and Currency Fluctuation

To the extent that we expand our operations into Europe, Latin America and the Pacific Rim, the effects of inflation and currency fluctuations could impact our financial condition and results of operations. While the prices we pay for products purchased from our suppliers are principally denominated in United States dollars, price negotiations depend in part on the foreign currency of foreign manufacturers, as well as market, trade and political factors.

Seasonality

We typically experience seasonality in our operations. We generally sell a substantial amount of our products during September, October and November due to increased promotional and advertising activities during the holiday season. Our business is also significantly impacted by the holiday season and electronic trade shows in December and January.

Related Party Transactions

During 1998, we entered into a 30-year capital lease for a building with our principal stockholder and chairman, which was the headquarters of the discontinued Cellular operation. Payments on the capital lease were based upon the construction costs of the building and the then-current interest rates. This capital lease was refinanced in December 2006 and the lease expires on November 30, 2026. The effective interest rate on the capital lease obligation is 8%. On November 1, 2004, we entered into an agreement to sublease the building to UTStarcom for monthly payments of $46 until November 1, 2009. We also lease another facility from our principal stockholder which expires on November 30, 2016. Total lease payments required under all related party leases for the five-year period ending February 28, 2012 are $6,089.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 48. ‘‘Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes’’ (‘‘FIN 48’’). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertain income tax positions that are recognized in the Company’s financial statements in accordance with the provisions of FASB Statement No. 109, ‘‘Accounting for Income Taxes’’. FIN 48 also provides guidance on the derecognition of uncertain positions, financial statement classification, accounting for interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods and new disclosure requirements. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its financial position and the results of operations.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, ‘‘Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements’’ (‘‘SAB 108’’). SAB 108 requires registrants to use both a balance sheet approach and an income statement approach when evaluating and quantifying the materiality of a misstatement. SAB 108 provides guidance on correcting errors under the dual approach as well as providing transition guidance for correcting errors. The Company adopted the provisions of SAB 108 as of February 28, 2007. The adoption of SAB 108 did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, ‘‘Fair Value Measurements’’ (‘‘SFAS 157’’). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurement. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but

rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157, but we do not expect the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 7a — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The market risk inherent in our market instruments and positions is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in marketable equity security prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities at February 28, 2007, which are recorded at fair value of $13,179, include an unrealized loss of $1,561, and have exposure to price risk. This risk is estimated as the potential loss in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in prices quoted by stock exchanges and amounts to $1,318 as of February 28, 2007. Actual results may differ.

Interest Rate Risk

Our earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in interest rates on investment of available cash balances in money market funds and investment grade corporate and U.S. government securities. Under our current policies, we do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes. In addition, our bank loans expose us to changes in short-term interest rates since interest rates on the underlying obligations are either variable or fixed.

Foreign Exchange Risk

We are subject to risk from changes in foreign exchange rates for our subsidiaries and marketable securities that use a foreign currency as their functional currency and are translated into U.S. dollars. These changes result in cumulative translation adjustments, which are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. At February 28, 2007, we had translation exposure to various foreign currencies with the most significant being the Euro, Thailand Baht, Malaysian Ringgit, Hong Kong Dollar and Canadian Dollar. The potential loss resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in quoted foreign currency exchange rates, as of February 28, 2007 amounts to $2,240. Actual results may differ.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Audiovox Corporation and subsidiaries (the ‘‘Company’’) maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in accordance with the SEC’s rules and regulations, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosures.

Table of Contents

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon this evaluation as of February 28, 2007, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective and adequately designed.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting; as such term is defined in the Securities and Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

  Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
  Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
  Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2007. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of February 28, 2007 based on the COSO criteria.

The certifications of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer included in Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K includes, in paragraph 4 of such certifications, information concerning the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. Such certifications should be read in conjunction with the information contained in this Item 9A. Controls and Procedures, for a more complete understanding of the matters covered by such certifications.

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2007, has been audited by Grant Thornton LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm who also audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Grant Thornton LLP’s attestation report on management’s assessment of the Company’ s internal control over financial reporting is included below.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Audiovox Corporation

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that Audiovox Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the ‘‘Company’’) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unaut horized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, management’s assessment that Audiovox Corporation and subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2007, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, Audiovox Corporation and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2007, based on the COSO criteria.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Audiovox Corporation and subsidiaries as of February 28, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the year ended February 28, 2007, three months ended February 28, 2006 and years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004, and our report dated May 11, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Audiovox Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Audiovox Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the ‘‘Company’’) as of February 28, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the year ended February 28, 2007, three months ended February 28, 2006 and years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Audiovox Corporation and subsidiaries as of February 28, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended February 28, 2007, three months ended February 28, 2006 and years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 1t of the notes to consolidated financial statements, the Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payments on December 1, 2005.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The Schedule II as of and for the year ended February 28, 2007, three months ended February 28, 2006 and years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria) and our report dated May 11, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Audiovox Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
February 28, 2007
(Dollars in thousands, except share and per-share data)

1)      Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a)  Description of Business and Accounting Principles

Audiovox Corporation and subsidiaries (the ‘‘Company’’) design and market a diverse line of electronic products under the Audiovox® and other brand names throughout the world. The Company has one reportable segment, the Electronics Group, which is organized by product category. The Electronics Group consists of five wholly-owned subsidiaries: Audiovox Electronics Corporation, American Radio Corp., Code Systems, Inc., Audiovox German Holdings GmbH and Audiovox Venezuela, C.A. The Company completed the divestiture of the Cellular Group on November 1, 2004 and Audiovox Malaysia on November 7, 2005 (See Note 2). Unless specifically indicated otherwise, all amounts and percentages presented in the notes below are exclusive of discontinued operations.

In February 2006, the Company changed its fiscal year end from November 30th to February 28th. The Company’s current fiscal year began March 1, 2006 and ends on February 28, 2007. This annual report on Form 10-K supplements the transition report on Form 10-Q for the three month transition period ended February 28, 2006 and compares the financial position as of February 28, 2007 to February 28, 2006 and the results of operations for the year ended February 28, 2007 and three months ended February 28, 2006 with the results of operations for the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004.

For the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company revised the operating, investing and financing activities of cash flows attributed to discontinued operations, to conform to the appropriate presentation, whereas in the prior periods it was reported on a combined basis as a single line within operating activities.

The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

b)  Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Audiovox Corporation and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Minority interest of majority-owned subsidiaries, if any, are calculated based upon the respective minority interest ownership percentage. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Equity investments in which the Company exercises significant influence but does not control and is not the primary beneficiary are accounted for using the equity method. The Company’s share of its equity method investees earnings or losses is included in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company eliminates its pro rata share of gross profit on sales to its equity method investees for inventory on hand at the investee at the end of the year. Investments in which the Company is not able to exercise significant influence over the investee are accounted for under the cost method.

c)  Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Such estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, recoverability of deferred tax assets, valuation of long-lived assets, accrued sales incentives, warranty reserves, stock-based compensation and disclosure of the contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(Dollars in thousands, except share and per-share data)

d)  Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits with banks and highly liquid money market funds with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash equivalents amounted to $14,017 and $12,696 at February 28, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Cash amounts held in foreign bank accounts amounted to $2,882 and $1,661 at February 28, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Restricted cash of $1,488 at February 28, 2006 represented the amount held in escrow for the purchase of Audiovox Venezuela’s minority interest during the year ended February 28, 2007 (Note 17).

e)  Investment Securities

The Company classifies its investment securities in one of two categories: trading or available-for-sale. Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. All other securities not included in trading are classified as available-for-sale.

Trading and available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities are included in earnings. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and 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. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned.

The cost, gross unrealized gains (losses) and aggregate fair value of investment securities as of February 28, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:


  February 28, 2007

(Dollars in thousands, except share and per-share data)

Short-term investments consist of tax-exempt auction rate notes, which are available for sale one year or less when purchased. The Company’s overall goal for short-term investments is to invest primarily in low risk, fixed income securities with the intention of maintaining principal while generating a moderate return. In accordance with the Company’s investment policy, all short-term investments are invested in ‘‘investment grade’’ rated securities and all investments have an Aaa or better rating at February 28, 2007. Trading securities consist of mutual funds, which are held in connection with the Company’s deferred compensation plan.

Deferred tax assets (liabilities) of $1,009 and $(203) related to available for sale securities were recorded at February 28, 2007 and 2006, respectively, as a reduction to the unrealized holding gain (loss) included in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

During the year ended November 30, 2005, the Company recorded an-other-than temporary impairment charge of $1,758 for its investment in CellStar common stock and such charge has been included in other income on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company recorded this charge as a result of the inability of the investment to regain its marketability, stock listing and the unlikelihood that the cost of this investment would be recovered due to the extended decline in stock price. A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed other-than-temporary results in a reduction in carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. The Company considers numerous factors, on a case-by-case basis, in evaluating whether the decline in market value of an available-for-sale security below cost is other-than-temporary. Such factors i nclude, but are not limited to, (i) the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost; (ii) the financial condition and the near-term prospects of the issuer of the investment; and (iii) whether the Company’s intent to retain the investment for the period of time is sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

f)  Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales at the time of passage of title and risk of loss to the customer either at FOB shipping point or FOB destination, based upon terms established with the customer. The Company’s selling price to its customers is a fixed amount that is not subject to refund or adjustment or contingent upon additional rebates. Any customer acceptance provisions, which are related to product testing, are satisfied prior to revenue recognition. There are no further obligations on the part of the Company subsequent to revenue recognition except for returns of product from the Company’s customers. The Company does accept returns of products, if properly requested, authorized, and approved by the Company. The Company records an estimate of returns of products to be returned by its customers and records the provision for the estimated amount of such future returns at point of sale, based on historical experience and any notific ation the Company receives of pending returns.

The Company includes all costs incurred for shipping and handling as cost of sales and all amounts billed to customers as revenue.

g)  Accounts Receivable

The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable are due from companies in the retail, mass merchant and OEM industries. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition. Accounts receivable are generally due within 30-60 days and

F-12




Table of Contents

Audiovox Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements , continued
February 28, 2007
(Dollars in thousands, except share and per-share data)

are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than the contracted payment terms are considered past due.

Accounts receivable is comprised of the following:


  February 28,
  2007 2006
Trade accounts receivable and other $ 91,330 $ 95,132
Less:    
Allowance for doubtful accounts 5,062 6,136
Allowance for cash discounts 265 325
  $ 86,003 $ 88,671

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by a review of their current credit information. The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. While such credit losses have historically been within management’s expectations and the provisions established, the Company cannot guarantee it will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that have been experienced in the past. Since the Company’s accounts receivable are concentrated in a relatively few number of customers, a significant change in the liquidity or financial position of any one of these customers could have a material adverse impact on the collectability of the C ompany’s accounts receivable and future operating results.

h)  Inventory

The Company values its inventory (finished goods) at the lower of the actual cost to purchase (primarily on a weighted moving average basis) and/or the current estimated market value of the inventory less expected costs to sell the inventory. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on-hand and records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily from selling prices, indications from customers based upon current price negotiations and purchase orders. The Company’s industry is characterized by rapid technological change and frequent new product introductions that could result in an increase in the amount of obsolete inventory quantities on-hand. The Company recorded inventory write-downs on inventory of $2,977, $689, $16,924 and $5,506 for the year ended February 28, 2007, the three months ended February 28, 2006 and the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

As a result of the Company’s: a) post holiday season review of inventory and sales projections, b) review of products which were at the end of their product life cycle at the completion of the fourth quarter and c) market information obtained from industry competitors and customers regarding pricing and product demand at the January 2006 Consumer Electronics trade show, the Company decided to discontinue certain product lines resulting in a $9,972 inventory writedown in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005.

In addition, the Company recorded a $3,789 inventory writedown during the third quarter of fiscal 2005 primarily for satellite radio plug and play products as a result of sudden reduced pricing by a competitor.

The Company’s estimates of excess and obsolete inventory may prove to be inaccurate, in which case the Company may have understated or overstated the provision required for

F-13

(Dollars in thousands, except share and per-share data)

excess and obsolete inventory. Although the Company makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of its forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand, price or technological developments could have a significant impact on the value of the Company’s inventory and reported operating results.

i)  Debt Issuance Costs

Costs incurred in connection with the previous restructuring of bank obligations were capitalized. These charges were amortized over the lives of the respective agreements resulting in amortization expense of $1,024 for the year ended November 30, 2004. These capitalized costs were fully amortized at November 30, 2004.

j)  Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Property under a capital lease is stated at the present value of minimum lease payments. Major improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated balance sheets.

A summary of property, plant and equipment, net, is as follows:


  February 28,
  2007 2006
Land $ 338 $ 338
Buildings 5,806 5,806
Property under capital lease 6,981 7,142
Furniture, fixtures and displays 2,457 2,392
Machinery and equipment 5,912 5,505
Construction-in-progress 48
Computer hardware and software 15,146 13,152
Automobiles 977 845
Leasehold improvements 5,136 4,989
  42,801 40,169
Less accumulated depreciation and amortization 24,782 21,370
  $ 18,019 $ 18,799

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:


Buildings 20-30 years
Furniture, fixtures and displays 5-10 years
Machinery and equipment 5-10 years
Computer hardware and software 3-5 years
Automobiles 3 years

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Assets acquired under capital lease are amortized over the term of the lease. Capitalized computer software costs obtained for internal use are amortized on a straight-line basis.

Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment amounted to $3,599, $893, $3,399 and $2,638 for the year ended February 28, 2007, the three months ended

February 28, 2006 and the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Included in depreciation and amortization expense is amortization of computer software costs of $334, $65, $179 and $149 for the year ended February 28, 2007, the three months ended February 28, 2006 and the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Included in depreciation expense is $240 of depreciation related to property under capital lease for the years ended February 28, 2007, November 30, 2005 and 2004, and $60 for the three months ended February 28, 2006.

Accumulated depreciation and amortization includes $2,138 and $1,898 related to property under capital lease at February 28, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Computer software includes approximately $1,240 and $353 of unamortized costs as of February 28, 2007 and 2006, respectively, related to the acquisition and installation of management information systems for internal use.

k)  Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and other intangible assets consist of the excess over the fair value of assets acquired (goodwill) and other intangible assets (patents, contracts and trademarks/tradenames).

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (‘‘SFAS’’) No. 142 ‘‘Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets’’ requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives be tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that could more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Equity method goodwill, which amounted to $4,602 at February 28, 2007 and 2006, is evaluated for impairment under Accounting Principles Board No. 18, ‘‘The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock’’, as amended. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective est imated useful lives and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, ‘‘Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets’’.

For intangible assets with indefinite lives, including goodwill, the Company performed its annual impairment test, as of the end of the fiscal fourth quarter, which indicated no reduction is required. The cost of other intangible assets with definite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective lives.

Goodwill

The change in carrying amount of goodwill is as follows:


  February 28,
  2007 2006
Net beginning balance (March 1st) $ 16,067 $ 17,818
Terk acquisition purchase price adjustment (2,001 )

In addition, the Company acquired in January 2007 $46,793 of intangible assets in connection with an acquisition, which has been preliminarily allocated to trademarks not subject to amortization (Note 4).

Amortization expense for intangible assets amounted to $395, $58 and $236 for the year ended February 28, 2007, three months ended February 28, 2006 and year ended November 30, 2005, respectively. The estimated aggregate amortization expense for all amortizable intangibles for each of the succeeding years ending February 28, 2012 is as follows:

l)  Sales Incentives

The Company offers sales incentives to its customers in the form of (1) co-operative advertising allowances; (2) market development funds; (3) volume incentive rebates and (4) other trade allowances. The Company accounts for sales incentives in accordance with EITF 01-9, ‘‘Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of Vendor’s Products)’’ (EITF 01-9). Except for other trade allowances, all sales incentives require the customer to purchase the Company’s products during a specified period of time. All sales incentives require customers to claim the sales incentive within a

F-16

(Dollars in thousands, except share and per-share data)

certain time period (referred to as the ‘‘claim period’’) and claims are settled either by the customer claiming a deduction against an outstanding account receivable or by the customer requesting a cash payout. All costs associated with sales incentives are classified as a reduction of net sales. The following is a summary of the various sales incentive programs:

Co-operative advertising allowances are offered to customers as reimbursement towards their costs for print or media advertising in which the Company’s product is featured on its own or in conjunction with other companies’ products. The amount offered is either a fixed amount or is based upon a fixed percentage of sales revenue or a fixed amount per unit sold to the customer during a specified time period.

Market development funds are offered to customers in connection with new product launches or entrance into new markets. The amount offered for new product launches is based upon a fixed amount, or percentage of sales revenue to the customer or a fixed amount per unit sold to the customer during a specified time period. The Company accrues the cost of co-operative advertising allowances, volume incentive rebates and market development funds at the later of when the customer purchases our products or when the sales incentive is offered to the customer.

Volume incentive rebates offered to customers require that minimum quantities of product be purchased during a specified period of time. The amount offered is either based upon a fixed percentage of sales revenue to the customer or a fixed amount per unit sold to the customer. The Company makes an estimate of the ultimate amount of the rebate their customers will earn based upon past history with the customer and other facts and circumstances. The Company has the ability to estimate these volume incentive rebates, as there does not exist a relatively long period of time for a particular rebate to be claimed. Any changes in the estimated amount of volume incentive rebates are recognized immediately using a cumulative catch-up adjustment.

Other trade allowances are additional sales incentives that the Company provides to customers subsequent to the related revenue being recognized. In accordance with EITF 01-9, the Company records the provision for these additional sales incentives at the later of when the sales incentive is offered or when the related revenue is recognized. Such additional sales incentives are based upon a fixed percentage of the selling price to the customer, a fixed amount per unit, or a lump-sum amount.

The accrual balance for sales incentives at February 28, 2007 and 2006 was $7,410 and $8,512, respectively. Although the Company makes its best estimate of its sales incentive liability, many factors, including significant unanticipated changes in the purchasing volume of its customers and the lack of claims made by customers could have a significant impact on the sales incentives liability and reported operating results.

For the year ended February 28, 2007, the three months ended February 28, 2006 and the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004, reversals of previously established sales incentive liabilities amounted to $2,460, $480, $2,836 and $3,889, respectively. These reversals include unearned and unclaimed sales incentives. Reversals of unearned sales incentives are volume incentive rebates where the customer did not purchase the required minimum quantities of product during the specified time. Volume incentive rebates are reversed into income in the period when the customer did not reach the required minimum purchases of product during the specified time. Unearned sales incentives for the year ended February 28, 2007, the three months ended February 28, 2006 and the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004 amounted to $1,148, $0, $1,007 and $2,187, respectively.

February 28, 2007
(Dollars in thousands, except share and per-share data)

Unclaimed sales incentives are sales incentives earned by the customer but the customer has not claimed payment from the Company within the claim period (period after program has ended). Unclaimed sales incentives for the year ended February 28, 2007, the three months ended February 28, 2006 and the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004 amounted to $1,312, $480, $1,829 and $1,702, respectively.

The Company reverses earned but unclaimed sales incentives based upon the expiration of the claim period of each program. Unclaimed sales incentives that have no specified claim period are reversed in the quarter following one year from the end of the program. The Company believes the reversal of earned but unclaimed sales incentives upon the expiration of the claim period is a disciplined, rational, consistent and systematic method of reversing unclaimed sales incentives.

A summary of the activity with respect to sales incentives is provided below:

Ending balance $ 7,410 $ 8,512 $ 9,826 $ 7,584

The majority of the reversals of previously established sales incentive liabilities pertain to sales recorded in prior periods.

* Included in accruals for the year ended November 30, 2005 is $1,255 of accrued sales incentives from the acquisition of Terk (Note 4).
m)  Advertising

Excluding co-operative advertising, the Company expensed the cost of advertising, as incurred, of $6,194, $1,682, $8,214 and $8,821 for the year ended February 28, 2007, the three months ended February 28, 2006 and the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

n)  Product Warranties and Product Repair Costs

The Company generally warranties its products against certain manufacturing and other defects. The Company provides warranties for all of its products ranging from 90 days to the lifetime of the product. Warranty expenses are accrued at the time of sale based on the Company’s estimated cost to repair expected returns of products for warranty matters. This liability is based primarily on historical experiences of actual warranty claims as well as current information on repair costs. The warranty liability of $5,856 and $5,314 is recorded in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of February 28, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In addition, the Company records a reserve for product repair costs which is based upon the quantities of defective inventory on hand and an estimate of the cost to repair such defective inventory. The reserve for product repair costs of $3,730 and $4,633 is recorded as a reduction to inventory in the acc ompanying consolidated balance sheets as of February 28, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Warranty claims and product

repair costs expense for the year ended February 28, 2007, the three months ended February 28, 2006 and the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004 were $8,047, $477, $6,063 and $3,257, respectively.

Changes in the Company’s product warranties and product repair costs are as follows:

Ending balance $ 9,586 $ 9,947 $ 10,329 $ 11,794

During the year ended November 30, 2004, the Company received a credit of $1,517 from a vendor as a result of re-negotiating charges for the repair of defective inventory. This credit has been included as a reduction to the liabilities accrued for warranties issued during the year ended November 30, 2004.

o)  Foreign Currency

Assets and liabilities of those subsidiaries and former equity investees located outside the United States whose cash flows are primarily in local currencies have been translated at rates of exchange at the end of the period or historical exchange rates, as appropriate in accordance with SFAS No. 52, ‘‘Foreign Currency Translation’’. Revenues and expenses have been translated at the weighted average rates of exchange in effect during the period. Gains and losses resulting from translation are recorded in the cumulative foreign currency translation account in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Exchange gains and losses on inter-company balances of a long-term nature are also recorded in the cumulative foreign currency translation account in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

p)  Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled (Note 9). The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

q)    Income (Loss) Per Common Share

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

s)  Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be disposed of

Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, ‘‘Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets’’, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Recoverability of assets held for sale is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to their estimated fair market value. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.

t)  Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has stock option plans under which employees and non-employee directors may be granted incentive stock options (ISO’s) and non-qualified stock options (NQSO’s) to purchase shares of Class A common stock. Under the plans, the exercise price of the ISO’s will not be less than the market value of the Company’s Class A common stock or greater than 110% of the market value of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of the NQSO’s may not be less than 50% of the market value of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of grant. The options must be exercised no later than ten years after the date of grant. The vesting requirements are determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant. Exercised options are issued from authorized Class A Common Stock. As of February 28, 2007, 1,402,500 shares were available for future grants under the term s of these plans.

Prior to December 1, 2005, the Company accounted for stock-based employee compensation under the intrinsic value method as outlined in the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, ‘‘Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees’’ (‘‘APB No. 25’’), and related interpretations while disclosing pro-forma net income (loss) and pro-forma net income (loss) per share as if the fair value method had been applied in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, ‘‘Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (‘‘SFAS No. 123’’).’’ Under the intrinsic value method, no compensation expense was recognized if the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options equaled or exceeded the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The Company issued all stock option grants with exercise prices equal to, or greater than, the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Accordingly, no compensation expense relating to the grant of such options was recognized in the consolidated statements of operations through November 30, 2005.

Effective December 1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), ‘‘Share-Based Payment’’ (‘‘SFAS 123(R)’’). SFAS No. 123(R) replaces SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB No. 25. SFAS 123(R) requires that all stock-based compensation be recognized as an expense in the financial statements and that such costs be measured at the fair value of the award at the date of grant and be recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. This statement was adopted using the modified prospective method, which requires the Company to recognize compensation expense on a prospective basis for all unvested stock options outstanding. Therefore, prior period financial statements have not been restated. Under this method, in addition to reflecting compensation expense for new share-based payment awards, expense is also recognized to reflect the remaining vesting period of awards that had been included in pro-forma discl osures in prior periods. Since all options outstanding as of December 1, 2005 were fully vested and exercisable, there was no compensation expense recognized for options granted prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) in the consolidated statement of operations. Prior to adopting SFAS 123(R), the Company presented all tax benefits related to stock-based compensation as an operating cash inflow, which was $1,357 and $227 for the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. SFAS 123(R) requires tax benefits related to stock based compensation be presented as an operating activity outflow and finance activity inflow on a prospective basis, which was $896 for the year ended February 28, 2007. In addition, the Company elected to use the ‘‘short cut’’ method to calculate the historical pool of windfall tax benefits upon adoption of SFAS 123(R), which resulted in no historical pool of windfall tax benefits. The election of the ‘‘short cut& rsquo;’ method did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per common share as if the Company had measured the compensation cost for stock option programs under SFAS 123 during the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004.

Net income (loss) per common share (diluted):    
As reported $ (0.43 )  $ 3.45
Pro-forma $ (0.45 )  $ 3.45

The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the years ended February 28, 2007 and November 30, 2005 was $4.11 and $2.51, respectively on the date of grant. These options vested immediately, had exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant and a contractual term ranging from two to three years. This fair value was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:


  Year ended
February 28,
2007
Year ended
November 30,
2005
Expected dividend yield 0 %  0 % 
Expected volatility 49.8 %  19.4 % 
Risk-free interest rate 4.7 %  4.7 % 
Expected life (years) 2.0 2.6

The expected dividend yield is based on historical and projected dividend yields. The Company estimates expected volatility based primarily on historical daily price changes of the Company’s stock equal to the expected life of the option. The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant. The expected option term is the number of years the Company estimates the options will be outstanding prior to exercise based on employment termination behavior.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense for awards issued in the following line items in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended February 28, 2007:


Cost of sales $ 21
Selling expense 156
General and administrative expenses 245
Engineering and technical support 10
Stock-based compensation expense before income tax benefit $ 432

During the year ended November 30, 2005, $1,758 of unrealized losses on available for sale investment securities were transferred into earnings as a result of an other than temporary impairment charge. The currency translation adjustments are not adjusted for income taxes as they relate to indefinite investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries and equity investments.

v)  New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 48. ‘‘Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes’’ (‘‘FIN 48’’). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertain income tax positions that are recognized in the Company’s financial statements in accordance with the provisions of FASB Statement No. 109, ‘‘Accounting for Income Taxes’’. FIN 48 also provides guidance on the derecognition of uncertain positions, financial statement classification, accounting for interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods and adds new disclosure requirements. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that FIN 48 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, ‘‘Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements’’ (‘‘SAB 108’’). SAB 108 requires registrants to use both a balance sheet approach and an income statement approach when evaluating and quantifying the materiality of a misstatement. SAB 108 provides guidance on correcting errors under the dual approach as well as providing transition guidance for correcting errors. The Company adopted the provisions of SAB 108 as of February 28, 2007. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, ‘‘Fair Value Measurements’’ (‘‘SFAS 157’’). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurement. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157, but we do not expect the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

w)  Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the current presentation.

x)  Allocating Interest Expense to Discontinued Operations

Interest expense of $3,148 was allocated to discontinued operations for the year ended November 30, 2004. This allocation represented consolidated interest that could not be attributed to other operations of the Company and such allocations were based on the required working capital needs of the Cellular business (Note 2).

y)  Issuances of Subsidiary Stock

The Company’s accounting policy on the issuances of subsidiary stock is to recognize through earnings the gain on the sale of the shares as long as the sale of the shares is not part of a broader corporate reorganization planned or contemplated by the Company and realization of the gain is assured.

z)  Tax interest and penalties

The Company classifies interest and penalties associated with income taxes as a component of income tax expense (benefit) on the consolidated statement of operations.

2)  Discontinued Operations
a)  Sale of Audiovox Malaysia

On November 7, 2005, the Company completed the sale of its majority owned subsidiary, Audiovox Malaysia (‘‘AVM’’), to the then current minority interest stockholder. The Company discontinued ownership of AVM due to increased competition from Original Equipment Manufacturers and deteriorating credit quality of local customers. The Company sold its remaining equity in AVM in exchange for a $550 face-value promissory note ($404 after discount) payable in 60 equal monthly installments with an effective interest rate of 6.2%. As a result of the sale of AVM, the Company was released from all of its Malaysian liabilities, including bank obligations, and recorded the following loss on the sale for the year ended November 30, 2005:


Purchase Price $ 404
Equity (after discount) of AVM at time of sale (1,418 )

Loss on sale of AVM, included in discontinued operations $ (2,079 ) 
b)  Sale of Cellular Business

On November 1, 2004, the Company completed its sale (the ‘‘Sale’’) of the Cellular Business (‘‘ACC’’ or ‘‘Cellular’’) to UTStarcom, Inc. (‘‘UTSI’’) in connection with a definitive asset purchase agreement (‘‘the agreement’’), which was signed on June 11, 2004. In accordance with the agreement, the Company’s majority owned subsidiary, ACC, sold selected assets and certain liabilities (excluding certain receivables, inter-company accounts payable, income taxes payable, subordinated debt and certain accrued expenses and other current liabilities), to UTSI. The following summarizes the assets and liabilities, which were sold to UTSI:


Accounts receivable, net $ 1,628
Inventory 116,341
Prepaid expenses and other assets 985
Receivables from vendors 3,101
Property, plant and equipment, net 1,759
Total assets sold 123,814
Accounts payable 56,750
Accrued expenses and other liabilities 12,827
Accrued sales incentives 4,639
Total liabilities sold 74,216
Net assets sold $ 49,598

As consideration for the sale, the Company received $165,170 (‘‘Purchase Price’’) and an additional $8,472 pursuant to a net working capital adjustment (‘‘the adjustment’’) based on the working capital of ACC at the time of closing. The adjustment was collected during the year ended November 30, 2005.

A portion of the Purchase Price proceeds were utilized for the following payments:

  ACC repaid Toshiba Corporation (‘‘Toshiba’’), a former minority interest shareholder of ACC, $8,162 as payment in full of the outstanding principal and interest of a

  subordinated note. In addition, Audiovox repurchased from Toshiba, its remaining minority interest in ACC for $5,483. As a result of this purchase ACC released Toshiba from its obligation to continue to supply wireless handsets to ACC and released Toshiba from all claims that ACC or Audiovox have or may have against Toshiba (Note 3).
  Upon the closing, ACC’s Chief Executive Officer’s employment agreement with ACC was terminated and pursuant to his employment agreement and his long-term incentive compensation award he received $4,000. ACC also purchased certain of his personally held intangibles for $16,000 in order for ACC to have the ability to convey all of the assets used in connection with the conduct of the Cellular business to UTSI (Note 17).
  Upon the closing, ACC paid $5,019 to certain employees of ACC and its subsidiaries as a severance payment and in exchange for which Audiovox received a release from such employees (Note 17).
  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, 5% (or $8,255) of the Purchase Price was placed in escrow by UTSI for 120 days after Closing. The Company collected the full escrow amount during the year ended November 30, 2005.
  The Company’s Chairman received $1,916 upon the closing of the asset sale pursuant to an amendment of a long-term incentive compensation award, which clarified that such payment would be paid pursuant to a sale of the Cellular business pursuant to an asset sale. This payment was recorded in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended November 30, 2004 (Note 17).
  Taxes of approximately $36,311 were paid in connection with the asset sale.
  Acquisition costs for legal, accounting and other of $4,603 were incurred to effectuate the sale.

The Company also retained and collected certain accounts receivable related to the Cellular business, which approximated $148,494 as of the closing.

After the closing on November 1, 2004, the following additional agreements became effective:

  The Company agreed to indemnify UTSI for any breach or violation of ACC’s and its representations, warranties and covenants contained in the asset purchase agreement and for other matters, subject to certain limitations. Significant indemnification claims by UTSI could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. The Company is not aware of any such claim(s) for indemnification.
  For a period of five-years after November 1, 2004, the Company entered into a royalty free licensing agreement permitting UTSI to use the Audiovox brand name on certain products. During such period, the Company will not conduct, directly or indirectly, in the Cellular business without the prior written consent of UTSI. The Company has no separate accounting treatment for the royalty-free license agreement with UTSI as this agreement cannot be separated from the sale of net assets to UTSI.
  Certain ACC employee stock options under the 1997 Stock Option Plan and 1999 Stock Compensation Plan were extended for one year from the closing. This extension resulted in a non-cash compensation charge of $98 due to the remeasurement of stock options in accordance with FIN 44 ‘‘Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation’’.

As consideration for the performance of these services, UTSI pays the Company-based on the usage of these services as set forth in the Transition Services Agreement. Such usage services have been included as a reduction to general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations for all periods presented.
  The Company’s credit agreement for domestic bank obligations expired and became due upon the consummation of the sale of ACC’s assets to UTSI. As such, the Company utilized proceeds from the sale to repay domestic bank obligations of $99,266 at November 1, 2004.

(Dollars in thousands, except share and per-share data)

August 31, 2007 and allows aggregate borrowings of up to $25,000 at an interest rate of Prime (or similar designations) plus 1%. As of February 28, 2007 and 2006, no direct amounts are outstanding under this agreement. At February 28, 2007, the Company had $9,308 in commercial and standby letters of credit outstanding, which reduces the amount available under the unsecured credit line.

b)  Venezuela Bank Obligations

In October 2005, Audiovox Venezuela entered into a credit facility borrowing arrangement which allows for principal borrowings up to $1,000 plus accrued interest. The facility requires minimum monthly interest payments at an annual interest rate of 13% until the expiration of the facility on February 14, 2008. Audiovox Corporation has secured this facility with a $1,200 standby letter of credit. As of February 28, 2007, no amounts are outstanding under this agreement.

c)  Euro Asset-Based Lending Obligation

The Company has a 16,000 Euro accounts receivable factoring arrangement and a 6,000 Euro Asset-Based Lending (‘‘ABL’’) (finished goods inventory and non factored accounts receivable) credit facility for the Company’s subsidiary, Audiovox Germany, which expires on October 25, 2007 and is renewable on an annual basis. Selected accounts receivable are purchased from the Company on a non-recourse basis at 85% of face value and payment of the remaining 15% upon receipt from the customer of the balance of the receivable purchased. In respect of the ABL credit facility, selected finished goods are advanced at a 60% rate and non factored accounts receivables are advanced at a 50% rate. The rate of interest is the three month Euribor plus 2.5%, and the Company pays 0.4% of its gross sales as a fee for the accounts receivable factoring arrangement. As of February 28, 2007, the amount of accounts receivable and finished goo ds available for factoring exceeded the amounts outstanding under this obligation.

d)  Euro Term Loan Agreement

On September 2, 2003, Audiovox Germany borrowed 12 million Euros under a new term loan agreement. This agreement was for a 5-year term loan with a financial institution consisting of two tranches. Tranche A is for 9 million Euros and Tranche B is for 3 million Euros. Tranche B has been fully repaid. Payments under Tranche A are due in monthly installments and interest accrues at 2.75% over the Euribor rate. Any amount repaid may not be reborrowed. The term loan becomes immediately due and payable if a change of control occurs without permission of the financial institution. In April 2005, the maturity of the term loan was prolonged to August 30, 2010 with a pre-payment option.

Audiovox Corporation guarantees 3 million Euros of this term loan. The term loan is secured by the pledge of the stock of Audiovox Germany on all brands and trademarks of Audiovox Germany. The term loan requires the maintenance of certain yearly financial covenants that are calculated according to German Accounting Standards. Should any of the financial covenants not be met, the financial institution may charge a higher interest rate on any outstanding borrowings and/or call the loan. The short and long term amounts outstanding under this agreement were $1,524 and $3,937 respectively, at February 28, 2007 and $1,371 and $4,911, respectively, at February 28, 2006.

e)  Other Debt

(Dollars in thousands, except share and per-share data)

20% of the Company’s stated share capital in Audiovox Germany at a call price equal to the same proportion of the actual price paid by the Company for Audiovox Germany. The put options cannot be exercised until the later of (i) November 30, 2008 or (ii) the full repayment (including interest) of an inter-company loan granted to Audiovox Germany in the amount of 5.3 million Euros. Notwithstanding the lapse of these time periods, the put options become immediately exercisable upon (i) the sale of Audiovox Germany or (ii) the termination of employment or death of the employee. The put price to be paid to the employee upon exercise will be the then net asset value per share of Audiovox Germany. Accordingly, the Company recognizes compensation expense based on 20% of the increase in Audiovox Germany’s net assets representing the incremental change of the put price over the call option price. Compensation (benefit) expense for these options amounted to $353, $(115), $408 a nd $371 for the year ended February 28, 2007, the three months ended February 28, 2006 and the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:


  February 28,
  2007 2006
Deferred tax assets:    
Accounts receivable $ 380 $ 228
Inventory 1,075 1,068
Property, plant and equipment 829 740
Accruals and reserves 1,825 1,585
Net operating losses 2,062 2,611
Tax credits 3,092 3,092
Deferred tax assets before valuation allowance 9,263 9,324
Less: valuation allowance (1,095 )  (1,089 ) 
Total deferred tax assets 8,168 8,235
Deferred tax liabilities:    
Intangible assets (1,697 )  (1,150 ) 
Prepaid expenses (1,079 )  (941 ) 
Unrealized gain on investment securities (1,042 )  (2,397 ) 
Total deferred tax liabilities (3,818 )  (4,488 ) 
Net deferred tax asset $ 4,350 $ 3,747

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, Management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. Based upon the Company’s ability to carry back current year operating losses to prior years, and the projection of future taxable income, the Company has only provided a valuation allowance against certain state net operating loss carryforwards and foreign net operating losses with relatively short carryforward periods.

At February 28, 2007, the Company incurred a net operating loss for federal income tax purposes of approximately $8,500. A Federal claim for refund will be filed and this net operating loss will be carried back to prior years and fully utilized. The Company has recorded a current income tax receivable attributable to the anticipated carryback claim.

The Company has not provided for U.S. federal and foreign withholding taxes on its foreign subsidiaries undistributed earnings as of February 28, 2007, because such earnings are intended to be indefinitely reinvested overseas. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to investments in undistributed earnings is not practicable to determine at this time.

During the year ended February 28, 2007, the Company repurchased all 50,000 outstanding shares of preferred stock from the original shareholder for $5 and retired the shares upon repurchase. The $2,495 difference between the repurchase price and book value of the shares is included in paid in capital in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at February 28, 2007.

The holders of Class A and Class B common stock are entitled to receive cash or property dividends declared by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors can declare cash dividends for Class A common stock in amounts equal to or greater than the cash dividends for Class B common stock. Dividends other than cash must be declared equally for both classes. Each share of Class B common stock may, at any time, be converted into one share of Class A common stock.

As of February 28, 2007, 1,869,953 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock are authorized to be repurchased in the open market. As of February 28, 2007 and 2006, 1,693,047 and 1,388,552 shares were repurchased for an aggregate amount of $16,979 and $12,832, respectively.

Undistributed earnings from equity investments included in retained earnings amounted to $6,027 and $6,508 at February 28, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

11)  Other Stock and Retirement Plans

a)    Restricted Stock Plan

The Company has restricted stock plans under which key employees and directors may be awarded restricted stock. Awards under the restricted stock plan may be performance-accelerated shares or performance-restricted shares. No performance accelerated shares or performance-restricted shares were granted or outstanding in the year ended February 28, 2007, the three months ended February 28, 2006 and the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004.

As of February 28, 2007, 1,402,500 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock are reserved for issuance under the Company’s Restricted and Stock Option Plan. There was no restricted stock outstanding at February 28, 2007.

b)    Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In April 2000, the stockholders approved the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan of up to 1,000,000 shares. The stock purchase plan provides eligible employees an opportunity to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock through payroll deductions at a minimum of 2% and a maximum of 15% of base salary compensation. Amounts withheld are used to purchase Class A common stock on the open market. The cost to the employee for the shares is equal to 85% of the fair market value of the shares on or about the quarterly purchase date (December 31, March 31, June 30 or September 30). The Company bears the cost of the remaining 15% of the fair market value of the shares as well as any broker fees.

(Dollars in thousands, except share and per-share data)

The Company’s employee stock purchase plan is a non-compensatory plan, and the related expense is recorded in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

c)    Profit Sharing Plans/ 401(k) Plan

The Company has established two non-contributory employee profit sharing plans for the benefit of its eligible employees in the United States and Canada. The plans are administered by trustees appointed by the Company. No contributions were made during the year ended February 28, 2007, three months ended February 28, 2006 and the year ended November 30, 2005. A discretionary contribution accrual of $601 was recorded by the Company for the United States plan for the year ended November 30, 2004. Contributions required by law to be made for eligible employees in Canada were not material for all periods presented.

The Company also has a 401(k) plan for eligible employees. The Company matches a portion of the participant’s contributions after three months of service under a predetermined formula based on the participant’s contribution level. The Company’s contributions were $486, $92, $139 and $155 for the year ended February 28, 2007, the three months ended February 28, 2006 and the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Shares of the Company’s Common Stock are not an investment option in the Savings Plan and the Company does not use such shares to match participants’ contributions.

d)  Deferred Compensation Plan

Effective December 1, 1999, the Company adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) for a select group of management. The Plan is intended to provide certain executives with supplemental retirement benefits as well as to permit the deferral of more of their compensation than they are permitted to defer under the Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan. The Plan provides for a matching contribution equal to 25% of the employee deferrals up to $20. The Plan is not intended to be a qualified plan under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. All compensation deferred under the Plan is held by the Company in an investment trust which is considered an asset of the Company. The Company has the option of amending or terminating the Plan at any time.

The investments, which amounted to $7,573 and $6,546 at February 28, 2007 and 2006, respectively have been classified as trading securities (long-term) and are included in investment securities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of February 28, 2007. The corresponding deferred compensation liability is reflected as a long-term liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 2007 and 2006.

12)  Lease Obligations

During 1998, the Company entered into a 30-year capital lease for a building with its principal stockholder and current chairman, which was the headquarters of the discontinued Cellular operation. Payments on the capital lease were based upon the construction costs of the building and the then-current interest rates. The effective interest rate on the capital lease obligation is 8%. This lease was refinanced in December 2006, which resulted in a $161 reduction to the capital lease obligation and corresponding asset, and the lease expires on November 30, 2026. On November 1, 2004 and in connection with the sale of the Cellular business, the Company entered into an agreement to sub-lease the building to UTStarcom for monthly payments of $46 through October 31, 2009.

At February 28, 2007, the Company was obligated under non-cancelable capital and operating leases for equipment and warehouse facilities for minimum annual rental payments as follows:


  Capital
Lease
Operating
Leases
2008 $ 521 $ 3,533
2009 522 2,688
2010 521 2,266
2011 521 1,834
2012 535 1,703
Thereafter 9,351 9,250
Total minimum lease payments 11,971 $ 21,274
Less: minimum sublease income 1,472  
Net 10,499  
Less: amount representing interest 4,758  
Present value of net minimum lease payments 5,741  
Less: current installments included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities 65  
Long-term obligation $ 5,676  

Rental expense for the above-mentioned operating lease agreements and other leases on a month-to-month basis approximated $2,319, $536, $2,097 and $2,475 for the year ended February 28, 2007, the three months ended February 28, 2006 and the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The Company leases certain facilities and equipment from its principal stockholder and several officers. At February 28, 2007, minimum annual rental payments on these related party leases, in addition to the capital lease payments, which are included in the above table, are as follows:


2008 $ 654
2009 673
2010 693
2011 714
2012 735
Thereafter 3,805
Total $ 7,274
13)  Financial Instruments
a)  Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Commercial letters of credit are issued by the Company during the ordinary course of business through major domestic banks as requested by certain suppliers. The Company also issues standby letters of credit principally to secure certain bank obligations and insurance policies. The Company had open commercial letters of credit of $6,056 and $13,936 and standby letters of credit of $3,252 and $2,035 at February 28, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The terms of these letters of credit are all less than one year. No material loss is anticipated due to nonperformance by the counter parties to these agreements. The fair value of these open

F-38




Table of Contents

Audiovox Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued
February 28, 2007
(Dollars in thousands, except share and per-share data)

commercial and standby letters of credit is estimated to be the same as the contract values based on the short-term nature of the fee arrangements with the issuing banks.

At February 28, 2007, the Company had unconditional purchase obligations for inventory commitments of $73,484. These obligations are not recorded in the consolidated financial statements until commitments are fulfilled and such obligations are subject to change based on negotiations with manufacturers.

b)  Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade receivables. The Company’s customers are located principally in the United States and Canada and consist of, among others, distributors, mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs and independent retailers. The Company generally grants credit based upon analyses of customers’ financial position and previously established buying and payment patterns. For certain customers, the Company establishes collateral rights in accounts receivable and inventory and obtains personal guarantees from certain customers based upon management’s credit evaluation.

At February 28, 2007, one customer accounted for 18% of accounts receivable. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable at February 28, 2006. During the year ended February 28, 2007, the three months ended February 28, 2006 and the year ended November 30, 2005, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales. During the year ended November 30, 2004, one customer accounted for 11% of net sales.

A portion of the Company’s customer base may be susceptible to downturns in the retail economy, particularly in the consumer electronics industry. Additionally, customers specializing in certain automotive sound, security and accessory products may be impacted by fluctuations in automotive sales.

c)  Fair Value

The carrying value of all financial instruments is deemed to approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments is as follows:


  February 28, 2007 February 28, 2006
  Carrying
Amount
Fair
Value
Carrying
Amount
Fair
Value
Short-term investments $ 140,872 $ 140,872 $ 160,799 $ 160,799
Investment securities (long-term) 13,179 13,179 14,709 14,709
Bank obligations 2,890 2,890 5,329 5,329

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Short-Term Investment/Investment Securities

The carrying amount represents fair value, which is based upon quoted market prices at the reporting date (Note 1).

Bank Obligations

The carrying amount of the Company’s foreign debt approximates fair value because the interest rate on the debt is reset every quarter to reflect current market rates.

(Dollars in thousands, except share and per-share data)

Limitations

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

14)  Bliss-tel Initial Public Offering

On December 13, 2004, one of the Company’s former equity investments, Bliss-tel Public Company Limited (‘‘Bliss-tel’’), issued 230,000,000 shares on the SET (Security Exchange of Thailand) for an offering price of 6.20 baht per share. Prior to the issuance of these shares, the Company was a 20% shareholder in Bliss-tel and, subsequent to the offering, the Company owned 30,000,000 shares (or approximately 13%) of Bliss-tel’s outstanding stock. In addition, on July 21, 2005, the Company received 9,000,000 warrants (‘‘the warrants’’) which may be exercised beginning on September 29, 2006, and expire on July 17, 2012. Each warrant is exercisable into one share of Bliss-tel common stock at an exercise price of 8 baht per share. Beginning on September 1, 2005, the Company accounted for the Bliss-tel investment as an available-for-sale security in accordance wi th FASB Statement No. 115 ‘‘Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities’’ whereby the unrealized holding gains and losses on Bliss-tel stock and warrants are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (Note 1(e)). The Company reclassified the Bliss-tel investment to an available-for-sale security from a trading security, on September 1, 2005, as a result of a change in the Company’s strategy regarding selling the Bliss-tel stock as the Company was unable to find a buyer in the short term.

Prior to September 1, 2005 and following Bliss-tel’s offering, the Company accounted for this investment as a trading security. Accordingly, the Company recorded a net gain of $4,971 for the year ended November 30, 2005, which is included in other income on the accompanying statement of operations. This gain represents the initial value of the Bliss-tel warrants and the change in value of the underlying stock and warrant during the period, when the investment was classified as a trading security.

During the year ended February 28, 2007, the Company sold 2,340,600 shares of Bliss-tel stock resulting in a $178 loss which is included in other income (loss) on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. As of February 28, 2007 the Company owns 27,659,400 shares and 9,000,000 warrants in Bliss-tel with an aggregate fair value of $3,755.

16)  Related Party Transactions

The Company leases facilities from its principal stockholder (Note 12). In addition, the Company entered into various transactions with Toshiba Corporation in the prior years (Note 2 and 3).

17)  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 these specific matters below:

In November 2004, several purported double derivative, derivative and class actions were filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County challenging approximately $27,000 made in payments from the proceeds of the Asset Sale to UTStarcom, Inc. These actions were subsequently consolidated into a single derivative complaint (the ‘‘Complaint’’), In re Audiovox Corporation Derivative Litigation. The Complaint challenges the payment of $16,000 to Mr. Christopher pursuant to a Personally Held Intangibles Agreement, an additional $4,000 to Mr. Christopher pursuant to an Agreement and General Release, $1,916 to Mr. Shalam pursuant to an amendment to his Long-Term Incentive Award, $5,000 distributed to ACC employees other than Mr. Christopher and the e xtension of certain options to Mr. Christopher. The Complaint alleges that: (i) the payments should be rescinded on grounds including, inter alia, material misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty and mistake, (ii) the recipients of the various payments were unjustly enriched, and (iii) the directors of Audiovox breached their fiduciary duties to Audiovox and its shareholders. This matter has been settled in principle for an estimated payment of $6,750 to the Company (less plaintiffs’ legal fees, costs of notice and mailing, etc., all to be determined). The settlement will not become final until a hearing and Court of Chancery approval in May 2007. As this represents a gain contingency, these amounts will not be recorded until received and such amount will be recorded with in discontinued operations when received.

Certain consolidated class actions transferred to a Multi-District Litigation Panel of the United States District Court of the District of Maryland against the Company and other suppliers, manufacturers and distributors of hand-held wireless telephones alleging damages relating to exposure to radio frequency radiation from hand-held wireless telephones are still pending. No assurances regarding the outcome of this matter can be given, as the Company is unable to assess the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome or estimated loss or liability, if any. Accordingly, no estimated loss has been recorded for the aforementioned case.

During fiscal 2004, an arbitration proceeding was commenced by the Company and several of its subsidiaries against certain Venezuelan employees and two Venezuelan companies (‘‘Respondents’’) before the American Arbitration Association. The matter was submitted to mediation and settled in fiscal 2005. The agreement provided for a payment (to be made upon satisfaction of certain pre-closing conditions) from the Company to the Respondents of $1,700 in consideration of which the Company will acquire all of Respondents’ ownership. In addition, the Company and Respondents will release all claims. As of February 28, 2006, $250 was paid to the Respondents and the remaining balance (which includes accrued interest), was included in restricted cash on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. In April 2006, all closing conditions were satisfied and the remaining balance in restricted cash was paid to the Respondents. This pu rchase of minority interest was recorded as goodwill on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet in accordance with FASB Statement 141 ‘‘Business Combinations’’ (see Note 1k). As such, this matter has been completed and the Company has full ownership of Audiovox Venezuela.

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 its suppliers or distributors, of third party patents, trade secrets, trademarks or copyrights. 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.

Under the asset purchase agreement for the sale of the Company’s Cellular business to UTSI, the Company agreed to indemnify UTSI for any breach or violation by ACC and its representations, warranties and covenants contained in the asset purchase agreement and for other matters, subject to certain limitations. Significant indemnification claims by UTSI could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operation. The Company is not aware of any such claim(s) for indemnification.

Simultaneous with the acquisition of Code Systems, Inc. (Code) in March 2002, the Company entered into a purchase and supply agreement with a third party. In exchange for entering into this agreement, the Company issued 50 warrants in its subsidiary, Code, which vest immediately. Furthermore, the agreement calls for the issuance of additional warrants based upon the future operating performance of Code. Based upon the contingent nature of the warrants, no recognition was given to the Code warrants as the related contingency was not considered probable and such warrants had not vested at February 28, 2007 or February 28, 2006.

     Section 2.6 Purchase Price Adjustment.

          (a) Thomson shall deliver to Purchaser, at least three (3) Business
Days prior to the expected Closing Date, a statement (the "Estimated Net Working
Capital Statement") setting forth a good faith estimate of the Net Working
Capital of the Business as of the Closing Date or, if the Closing is scheduled
to occur on January 29, 2007, as of the day before the Closing Date (the
"Estimated Net Working Capital"); provided that for purposes of preparing the
Estimated Net Working Capital Statement, the following principles shall be
applied: (i) the Estimated Net Working Capital Statement will be prepared giving
effect to the U.S. Restructuring and Asset Transfers and (ii) no effect shall be
given to any adjustments based on interpretations of IFRS, GAAP or other
accounting principles or methodologies not previously applied to the Interim
Balance Sheet. If the Estimated Net Working Capital Statement is acceptable to
Purchaser, the Purchase Price to be paid at Closing shall be increased, dollar
for dollar, by the amount by which the Estimated Net Working Capital is greater
than the Target Net Working Capital and shall be decreased, dollar for dollar,
by the amount by which the Estimated Net Working Capital is less than the Target
Net Working Capital.

          (b) Thomson shall deliver to Purchaser, at least three (3) Business
Days prior to the expected Closing Date, a schedule as of the same date as the
Estimated Net Working Capital Statement, setting forth the number of vacation
days accrued and the number of vacation days taken since January 1, 2007 for
each of the Business Employees other than those Business Employees that request
that Thomson pay to such employees the cash value of their accrued vacation in
connection with their resignation from Thomson (the "Estimated Vacation
Schedule"). The Estimated Vacation Schedule shall set forth for each such
employee, the value, based on such employee's base wage, of either (i) the
accrued vacation in excess of vacation days taken for such employee expressed as
a positive number ("Accrued Vacation") or (ii) the number of vacation days taken
in excess of accrued vacation for such employee expressed as a negative number.
Notwithstanding the proviso in the first sentence of Section 2.6(g), the
Purchase Price shall be increased or decreased, as applicable, on a
dollar-for-dollar basis, by the amount that the net aggregate value of the
vacation for the Transferred Employees set forth on the Estimated Vacation
Schedule (the "Estimated Vacation Accrual") is either a negative number or a
positive number, respectively. For each Transferred Employee that has Accrued
Vacation, Purchaser shall credit such Accrued Vacation to the Transferred
Employee's vacation days under Purchaser's vacation policy.

          (c) As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60)
days following the Closing Date, Thomson, at its cost and expense, shall cause
the following to be prepared and delivered to Purchaser (collectively, the
"Closing Balance Sheet"): (i) a balance sheet of the Business as of the Closing
Date or, if the Closing is scheduled to occur on January


                                       5



29, 2007, as of the day before the Closing Date, after giving effect to the U.S.
Restructuring and the Asset Transfers; (ii) a balance sheet of the Business for
each of the following jurisdictions: United States, Canada, and Malaysia
(including EAP); and (iii) a statement based on the balance sheets referred to
in clause (i) and clause (ii) above which sets forth in detail a calculation of
the Net Working Capital of the Business as of the Closing Date or, if the
Closing is scheduled to occur on January 29, 2007, as of the day before the
Closing Date; provided that for purposes of preparing the Closing Balance Sheet
the following principles shall be applied: (A) the Closing Balance Sheet will be
prepared giving effect to the U.S. Restructuring and Asset Transfers and (B) no
effect shall be given to (x) any transaction occurring between the date of the
Closing Balance Sheet and the actual time of Closing on the Closing Date between
or among Thomson, any of the Thomson Accessories Entities and/or U.S. NewCo, on
the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, or relating to Purchaser's
financing of the Business or U.S. NewCo, (y) any purchase accounting or other
similar adjustments resulting from the consummation of the purchase and sale of
the Equity Interests, the Transferred Assets or any other assets transferred
under the Ancillary Agreements, and (z) any adjustments based on interpretations
of IFRS, GAAP or other accounting principles or methodologies not previously
applied to the Interim Balance Sheet. During and after the preparation of the
Closing Balance Sheet, including the Net Working Capital calculation, the
Parties shall use reasonable efforts to provide each other and their respective
representatives with timely access to the records used in connection with the
preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet, including work papers, trial balances
and similar materials prepared by each Party or its accountant. The Closing
Balance Sheet, including the components of Net Working Capital, shall be
calculated in accordance with Thomson's accounting principles consistently
applied with the accounting principles used on the Interim Balance Sheet.

          (d) As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60)
days following the Closing Date, Thomson, at its cost and expense, shall cause
to be prepared and delivered to Purchaser a schedule setting forth, as of the
Closing Date, the number of vacation days accrued and the number of vacation
days taken since January 1, 2007 for each of the Transferred Employees other
than those Transferred Employees that request that Thomson pay to such employees
the cash value of their accrued vacation in connection with their resignation
from Thomson (the "Closing Vacation Schedule"). The Closing Vacation Schedule
shall set forth for each such employee, the value, based on such employee's base
wage, of either (i) the Accrued Vacation or (ii) the number of vacation days
taken in excess of accrued vacation for such employee expressed as a negative
number. The amount of the net aggregate value of the vacation for the
Transferred Employees set forth on the Closing Vacation Schedule shall be the
"Closing Vacation Accrual."

          (e) Except as set forth below, the Closing Balance Sheet, the included
Net Working Capital calculation and the Closing Vacation Schedule shall be
deemed to be and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties upon the
earlier of: (i) Purchaser's delivery of a written notice to Thomson of
Purchaser's approval of the Closing Balance Sheet, Net Working Capital
calculation and Closing Vacation Schedule; (ii) the failure of Purchaser to
notify Thomson in writing of a dispute with the Closing Balance Sheet, Net
Working Capital calculations or Closing Vacation Schedule within forty five (45)
days of the delivery of the same to Purchaser; (iii) the resolution of all
disputes, pursuant to Section 2.6(f), by the Parties; and (iv) the resolution of
all disputes, pursuant to Section 2.6(f), by the Independent Accounting Firm


                                       6



(the earliest date on which any of the foregoing occurs being referred to as the
"Final Resolution Date").

          (f) Purchaser may dispute any amounts reflected on the Closing Balance
Sheet or the Closing Vacation Schedule or in the Net Working Capital calculation
by delivery of a written notice to Thomson within forty five (45) days following
delivery of the same to Purchaser (the "Closing Dispute Notice"). If Purchaser
delivers a Closing Dispute Notice to Thomson, the Parties shall attempt to
reconcile the Parties' differences, and any resolution by them as to any
disputed amounts shall be executed in writing and shall then be final, binding
and conclusive on the Parties. If the Parties are unable to reach a resolution
on all disputes within forty five (45) days after the delivery of the Closing
Dispute Notice, the Parties shall submit their respective determinations and
calculations and the items remaining in dispute for resolution to Ernst & Young
LLP or another independent accounting firm of international reputation mutually
acceptable to Purchaser and Thomson (the "Independent Accounting Firm"). The
Parties shall cause the Independent Accounting Firm to submit a report to
Purchaser and Thomson with a determination regarding the remaining disputed
items, within forty-five (45) days after submission of the matter, and such
report shall be final, binding and conclusive on Purchaser and Thomson. The
fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be paid fifty
percent (50%) by Purchaser and fifty percent (50%) by Thomson.

          (g) The Purchase Price shall be increased or decreased, as applicable,
on a dollar-for-dollar basis by (i) the amount by which the actual Net Working
Capital as of the Closing Date or, if the Closing is scheduled to occur on
January 29, 2007, as of the day before the Closing Date, determined in
accordance with Sections 2.6(c), (e) and (f), is greater or less than the
Estimated Net Working Capital; provided that no adjustment to the Purchase Price
shall be made if such increase or decrease is less than Ten Thousand Dollars
($10,000) and (ii) the amount by which the Closing Vacation Accrual, determined
in accordance with Sections 2.6(d) through 2.6(f), is greater or less than the
Estimated Vacation Accrual. Any such adjustment(s) to the Purchase Price shall

Schedule D (the "Purchaser Disclosure Schedule"):

     Section 4.1 Organization. Purchaser is a corporation duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware and has all
requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted. Each of
Audiovox Canada Ltd. and any other Subsidiary of Purchaser which will be a party
to any Ancillary Agreement will, as of the Closing, be duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its state or
territory of incorporation or organization and, as of the Closing, will have all
requisite power and authority to own, operate and lease its properties and
assets, to carry on its business as of the Effective Date and as at the Closing
and to enter into and perform its obligations under any Ancillary Agreement to
which it will be a party.

     Section 4.2 Authorization; Enforceability. Purchaser and each of its
Affiliates have the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this
Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which Purchaser or such Affiliate is,
or is specified to be, a party and to perform its obligations hereunder and
thereunder. The execution and delivery by Purchaser and each of its Affiliates
of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which Purchaser or such
Affiliate is, or is specified to be, a party and the performance by Purchaser or
such Affiliate of its obligations hereunder and thereunder have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Purchaser or such
Affiliate. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Purchaser and
constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of Purchaser, enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms. At or prior to the Closing, Purchaser
and each of its Affiliates shall have duly executed and delivered each Ancillary
Agreement to which Purchaser or such Affiliate is specified to be a party, and
each Ancillary Agreement shall constitute the legal, valid and binding
obligation of Purchaser or such Affiliate, enforceable against Purchaser or such
Affiliate in accordance with its terms.

     Section 4.3 Non-Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by
Purchaser of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and by each of Audiovox
Canada Ltd. and any other Subsidiary of Purchaser which will be a party to any
Ancillary Agreement of such Ancillary Agreements do not, and, assuming all
Governmental Authorizations required have been obtained or made, the
consummation of the Contemplated Transactions will not: (a) violate, conflict
with or result in the breach of any provision of the Governing Documents of
Purchaser or such Subsidiary of Purchaser; (b) assuming all Governmental
Authorizations required under any mandatory antitrust notification requirements
have been obtained or made, conflict with or violate any Law, Governmental Order
or Governmental Authorization applicable to the Purchaser or such Subsidiary of
Purchaser or any of their assets or properties; (c) result in the creation of
any Lien on any of the properties of Purchaser or such Subsidiary of Purchaser,
except, with respect to clauses (b) and (c), for such conflicts, violations,
invalidations, breaches, defaults, terminations, cancellations, accelerations,
rights, Liens or results as would not


                                       22



reasonably be expected to affect Purchaser's or such Subsidiaries' ability to
perform their obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

     Section 4.4 Government Consents. Except for all Governmental Authorizations
required under any required approvals from a Governmental Antitrust Authority,
no Governmental Order or filing with any Governmental Authority on the part of

of Purchaser, threatened against or affecting Purchaser or its Affiliates (a)
challenging or seeking to restrain, delay or prohibit any of the Contemplated
Transactions or (b) preventing Purchaser from performing in all material
respects its obligations under this Agreement.

     Section 4.6 Investment Intent. Purchaser acknowledges that the Equity
Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act and that the Equity
Interests may not be resold absent such registration or unless an exemption
therefrom is available. Purchaser qualifies as an "accredited investor" as such
term is defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act. The Equity Interests are
being acquired for investment for Purchaser's or its Subsidiaries' own account
not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of
any part thereof, and Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting
any participation in or otherwise distributing the same. The acquisition by
Purchaser of the Equity Interests shall constitute confirmation of the
representation by Purchaser that it does not have any contract, undertaking,
agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant
participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the
Equity Interests.

     Section 4.7 Knowledge of Industry and Representation by Advisors.

          (a) Purchaser acknowledges that (i) it has knowledge, experience and
expertise in business and financial matters and the consumer electronics
industry and (ii) it has the capability of understanding and evaluating the
risks and merits associated with Purchaser's purchase of the Equity Interests
pursuant to this Agreement and Purchaser's participation in the Contemplated
Transactions.

          (b) Purchaser acknowledges that it has been represented or advised by
advisors of its own choice, including financial advisors, tax advisors and legal
counsel, that have assisted Purchaser in understanding and evaluating the risks
and merits associated with Purchaser's purchase of the Equity Interests pursuant
to this Agreement and Purchaser's participation in the Contemplated
Transactions.

          (c) Purchaser can bear the economic risk of an investment in the
Equity Interests and can afford a complete loss of such investment.

     Section 4.8 Disclosure of Information. Purchaser acknowledges that: (a)
none of Thomson, its Affiliates, any of their respective Representatives or any
other Person has made any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to
the Equity Interests, Transferred Assets, Business, Transferred Liabilities, the
Thomson Accessories Entities or the accuracy or


                                       23



completeness of any information regarding the Business or the Thomson
Accessories Entities furnished or made available to Purchaser and its
Representatives, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement; and (b)
Purchaser has not relied on any representation or warranty from Thomson or the
Thomson Accessories Entities or any other Person in determining to enter into
this Agreement, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement; and (c) none of

or be subject to any liability to Purchaser resulting from the distribution to
Purchaser, or Purchaser's use of, any such information, including the

thereof); and (d) except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Thomson makes
no representation or warranty, express or implied, relating to the Equity
Interests, the Transferred Assets, the Transferred Liabilities, the Transferred
Operations, the Thomson Accessories Entities, the Business or any other matter,
including any representation or warranty as to workmanship, profitability,
future performance, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement or any
representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or
completeness of any information, documents or material transmitted, provided or
made available to Purchaser or its representatives in any physical or online
"data rooms", management presentations or in any other form in expectation of
the Contemplated Transactions, including any projection, forecast or other
forward-looking information and any information contained in any Descriptive
Memorandum.

     Section 4.9 Projections. In connection with Purchaser's investigation of
the Business, Purchaser has received from Thomson and its Representatives
certain projections, forecasts and business plan information. Purchaser
acknowledges and agrees that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to
make such projections, forecasts and plans, that Purchaser is familiar with such
uncertainties, that there can be no assurances that the projections, forecasts
and plans are accurate or that the projections, forecasts and plans will be
realized, that Purchaser is taking full responsibility for making its own
evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all projections, forecasts and plans
so furnished to it, and that Purchaser shall have no claim against any of
Thomson, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives with respect
thereto. Accordingly, Purchaser acknowledges and confirms that (a) Thomson, its
Affiliates and their respective Representatives have made no representations or
warranties, express or implied, with respect to, and shall not be liable to
Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or Representatives, with respect to any such
projections, forecasts or plans, and (b) Purchaser has not relied on any
projection, forecast or plan received from Thomson, its Affiliates or any of
their respective Representatives or any other Person in determining to enter
into this Agreement.

     Section 4.10 Sufficient Funds. Purchaser has available, and on the Closing
Date will have available, cash or, pursuant to existing credit facilities or
commitments, sufficient funds to pay the Purchase Price and the Advance and
consummate, or cause the consummation of, all of the Contemplated Transactions.

     Section 4.11 No Brokers. None of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries is
obligated under any Contract that would result in the obligation of Thomson or
its Affiliates to pay any finder's fee, brokerage or agent's commission in
connection with the negotiations leading to this Agreement or the consummation
of the purchase and sale of the Equity Interests or the Transferred Assets.

     Section 5.1 Access and Investigation. Between the Effective Date and the

and will cause each Thomson Accessories Entity and its Representatives to,
afford Purchaser and its Representatives reasonable access during normal
business hours to such Thomson Accessories Entities' personnel, properties,
Contracts, books and records and other financial, operating and other data and
information related to the Business as Purchaser may reasonably request. All
information obtained by Purchaser and its Representatives pursuant to this
Section 5.1 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality
Agreement and Section 5.16. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Thomson or
any Thomson Accessories Entity shall be required to provide access to any
information, property or personnel if (a) such party believes in good faith that
such access is subject to any confidentiality obligations or would be reasonably
likely to jeopardize such party's attorney-client, work product or similar legal
privilege; (b) any applicable Law, in the good faith judgment of such party, may
require such party to restrict or prohibit access to any such information,
properties or personnel; or (c) such access would unreasonably disrupt the
businesses and operations of such party. Prior to the Closing (x) none of
Purchaser, its Affiliates or its Representatives shall contact or communicate,
directly or indirectly, with any customer of the Business for the purpose of
discussing the Business or the Contemplated Transactions without, in each such
instance, obtaining the express prior written consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, of Thomson and permitting Thomson to fully participate in
any and all conferences, telephone conversations and other communications
between Purchaser, its Affiliates or Representatives and any such customer and
(y) Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates or Representatives to,
promptly provide Thomson with copies of all written and electronic
communications between such Persons and any such customer relating to the
Business or the Contemplated Transactions.

     Section 5.2 Conduct of the Business Prior to Closing.

          (a) Except as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement or as
set forth in Section 5.2 of the Business Disclosure Schedule, between the
Effective Date and the Closing Date, Thomson will, and will cause each Thomson
Accessories Entity to, (i) conduct the Business in all material respects in the
ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice and in accordance
with applicable Law with no less diligence and effort than would be applied in
the absence of this Agreement, (ii) continue its advertising and promotional
activities, and pricing and purchasing policies, in accordance with past
practice, and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) preserve intact
in all material respects the current business organization of the Thomson
Accessories Entities and (B) maintain relations and goodwill with suppliers,
customers, landlords and creditors of the Business in the ordinary course of

               (i) terminate, amend in any material respect, or waive any
material rights under any Listed Agreement, Intellectual Property Agreement or
material Governmental Authorization to which U.S. NewCo is a party to or, as
contemplated by an Asset Transfer Agreement, that will be transferred to

               (ii) permit U.S. NewCo to enter into any new agreements of the
kind described in Section 3.12(a);

          (a) Thomson and Purchaser shall coordinate and cooperate with one
another and shall each use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain (and
shall each refrain from taking any willful action that would impede or delay

               (ii) take promptly all other actions and do all other things
reasonably necessary and proper to avoid, resolve or eliminate each and every
impediment under any antitrust Law that may be asserted by any Governmental
Antitrust Authority or any other party to the consummation of Purchaser's
acquisition of the Equity Interests and the Transferred Assets in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, neither

exchanging such information and shall promptly provide the other (or its

                                       28



Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions. Each of Thomson and Purchaser shall
timely make, or cause to be made, all necessary filings with Governmental
Authorities.

     Section 5.4 Notification. Thomson shall give prompt notice to Purchaser,
and Purchaser shall give prompt notice to Thomson, of (a) the occurrence or
non-occurrence of any event after the Effective Date, the occurrence or
non-occurrence of which would cause any representation or warranty made by such
Party in this Agreement to be materially untrue or inaccurate, and (b) any
failure of Thomson or Purchaser, as the case may be, to materially comply with
or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied
by it after the Effective Date, provided that the delivery of, or failure to
deliver, any notice pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall not otherwise affect the
remedies available hereunder.

     Section 5.5 No Negotiation. Following execution of this Agreement and up
until the Closing, Thomson will, and will cause its Representatives to,
discontinue any negotiations with any Person (other than Purchaser and its
Subsidiaries) relating to any sale of any portion of the Transferred Assets or
the Equity Interests (other than sales in the ordinary course of business).
Except for sales of Excluded Assets, until such time, if any, as this Agreement
is terminated pursuant to Article VII or the Closing occurs, Thomson will not,
and will instruct its Representatives to not, solicit, initiate or encourage any
inquiries or proposals from, or negotiate with, any Person (other than
Purchaser) relating to any such transaction involving the sale of the
Transferred Assets or the Equity Interests.

     Section 5.6 Trademarks, Brand Names, Etc. Except as provided in the
Transition Services Agreement, as set forth in the last sentence of this Section
5.6 or as provided in any agreement entered into between Thomson or its
Affiliates (other than U.S. NewCo), on the one hand, and Purchaser or its
Affiliates, on the other hand, as promptly as reasonably practicable, but no
longer than 30 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its
Subsidiaries (including U.S. NewCo) to remove or cease the use of the name
"Thomson" and any trademarks, trade names, brandmarks, brand names, trade dress
or logos incorporating to such name ("Thomson Names") from all product or other
packaging, Internet sites, labels, stationery or office forms received in
connection with the Contemplated Transactions. Thereafter, except as provided in
the Transition Services Agreement or any agreement entered into between Thomson
or its Affiliates (other than U.S. NewCo), on the one hand, and Purchaser or its
Affiliates, on the other hand, Purchaser shall neither use nor permit or suffer
any of its Affiliates to use such name or trademark, trade name, brandmark,
brand name, trade dress or logo incorporating such name in connection with U.S.
NewCo, the Business or otherwise. Notwithstanding the above, (x) for the 12
month period following the Closing Date, Purchaser may sell inventory (and
packaging thereof) containing the "Thomson Names" that was included in the
Transferred Assets, and (y) such 12 month period shall be extended for an
additional 6 months with respect to any Inventory purchased from Thomson
pursuant to Section 5.20.

     Section 5.7 Further Action. Except as otherwise provided herein, each of
the Parties shall use its reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all
appropriate action, to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or
advisable under applicable Law, and to execute and deliver such documents and
other papers, as may be required to transfer, convey, grant and confirm to and
vest in Purchaser good title to the Equity Interests and the Transferred Assets
free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), purchase options,
calls or similar third party


                                       29



rights; provided, however, that no Party shall be required to make any
additional representations or warranties, or to incur any material out-of-pocket
expense or exposure to material legal liability pursuant to this Section 5.7.

     Section 5.8 Tax Matters.

          (a) Whenever it is necessary for purposes of this Agreement to
determine the liability for Taxes of U.S. NewCo for the Pre-Closing Portion of
the Straddle Period, the determination shall be made by assuming that such
Straddle Period ended at the close of the Closing Date, and by assuming that the
taxable year of any pass-through entity owned by U.S. NewCo ended at the close
of the Closing Date. In the case of property Taxes, other than Taxes and
deductions or allowances which apply ratably to a taxable period, the amount of
Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Portion of a Straddle Period shall equal the
Taxes for the Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the number of days in the Straddle Period up to and including the
Closing Date, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of days in
the Straddle Period.

          (b) Thomson shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and
timely filed when due (including extensions), any Tax Return of U.S. NewCo that
may be required to be filed for periods ending on or before the Closing Date,
excluding any Straddle Period. Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in
accordance with past Tax accounting practices used with respect to the Tax
Return in question (unless such practices are no longer permissible under
applicable Tax law). Any such Tax Return shall reflect the allocation of the
Purchase Price among the ETHC Interest, the Transferred Assets and any other
assets acquired under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements in accordance
with Schedule B, as further provided in Section 2.7, in accordance with Code
Section 1060 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any similar provisions
of state or local law, as appropriate).

          (c) Except as provided in Section 5.8(b), Purchaser shall prepare and
timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed when due (including
extensions), any Tax Return of U.S. NewCo for periods ending after the Closing
Date, including any Straddle Period. Any Tax Return for a Straddle Period shall
be prepared in accordance with past Tax accounting practices used with respect
to the Tax Return in question (unless such practices are not permissible under
applicable Tax law), and to the extent any items are not covered by past
practices (or in the event such past practices are not permissible under
applicable Tax law), in accordance with reasonable Tax accounting practices
selected by Purchaser with the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) of Thomson. Purchaser shall provide Thomson with a copy of such Tax
Return for review and comment at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to the
filing of such Tax Return (or, if required to be filed within thirty (30)
Business Days of Closing, as soon as possible following Closing), accompanied by
a statement (a "Straddle Period Statement") setting forth and calculating in
reasonable detail the Taxes shown as due on such Tax Return which are allocable
to the Pre-Closing Portion of such Straddle Period.

          (d) If Thomson disagrees with the manner of preparation of a Tax
Return for a Straddle Period, or with the amount of Taxes calculated as
allocable to the Pre-Closing Portion of the Straddle Period (as shown on the
Straddle Period Statement), within thirty (30) Business Days of the receipt of
the Tax Return for the Straddle Period and the Straddle Period Statement


                                       30



Thomson may provide to Purchaser a notice of such dispute (a "Tax Statement
Dispute"). If Thomson does not provide a notice of Tax Statement Dispute within
such thirty (30) Business Day period, Thomson shall be deemed to have accepted
the Tax Return and the Straddle Period Statement for purposes of Section 5.8(f).
If Thomson provides Purchaser with a notice of Tax Statement Dispute, Thomson
shall also provide to Purchaser a proposed revision of such Tax Return, a
statement setting forth and calculating in reasonable detail the Taxes allocable
to the Pre-Closing Portion of the Straddle Period, and a written explanation of
the reasons for its adjustment. Thomson and Purchaser shall attempt to resolve
their disagreement within five (5) Business Days following Thomson's
notification of a Tax Statement Dispute. If Thomson and Purchaser are unable to
resolve their differences within fifteen (15) Business Days, each of Thomson and
Purchaser shall select a Tax expert from a nationally recognized accounting firm
or law firm knowledgeable in the area of the dispute, and such experts shall
attempt to resolve the differences. Each Party shall be responsible for the
costs and fees of its Tax expert. If Thomson and Purchaser are unable to resolve
their differences through their Tax experts, the dispute shall be submitted to
an accounting firm, mutually selected by Thomson and Purchaser, whose
determination shall be final and binding on the Parties. The fees and expenses
of such accounting firm shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Thomson and fifty
percent (50%) by Purchaser.

          (e) Subject to the dispute resolution provisions in this Section 5.8,
Thomson shall pay or cause to be paid to Purchaser an amount equal to Taxes of
U.S. NewCo attributable to the Pre-Closing Portion of any Straddle Period
(collectively, "Pre-Closing Taxes"), except to the extent such Pre-Closing Taxes
(i) are payable by Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.10, (ii) are reflected in the
reserve for Tax liability shown on the face of the Closing Balance Sheet, or
(iii) have been previously paid by U.S. NewCo All such payments shall be made no
later than twenty (20) Business Days after Purchaser has provided notice of such
Taxes to Thomson.

          (f) Neither Purchaser nor U.S. NewCo shall file any amended Tax Return
with respect to U.S. NewCo for any period ending on or before the Closing Date
or the Straddle Period without the prior written consent of Thomson (not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as required under applicable Law.

          (g) Purchaser and Thomson further agree, upon request, to use
reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any
Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate,
reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed; provided that obtaining such
certificate or other document may not reasonably be expected to adversely affect
Purchaser, U.S. NewCo or Thomson.

          (h) Thomson and its Affiliates and Purchaser and its Affiliates shall
cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party,
in connection with the filing of Tax Returns (including amendments of Tax
Returns), the determination of any liabilities for Taxes, and any audit,
litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes.

     Section 5.9 Additional Tax Covenants. The Parties intend the formation of
U.S. NewCo. after the date hereof and prior to the Closing, the transfer of the
Transferred Assets (U.S.) and the Transferred Liabilities (U.S.) to U.S. NewCo
and the sale of the outstanding shares of capital stock of U.S. NewCo
contemplated by and pursuant to this Agreement to be


                                       31



treated as a sale of assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and not as a
transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code and similar provisions of state
law. The Parties agree to file all relevant Tax Returns (including amended
returns and claims for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent
with this position, and to use their reasonable best efforts to support and
justify such position in any Tax audit or Tax dispute.

     Section 5.10 Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, Purchaser shall pay to Thomson the full amount of any transfer,
documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and such other Taxes, and any
conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any
penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the
purchase of the Equity Interests and the Transferred Assets, Thomson shall remit
such amount to the applicable taxing authority and Thomson shall reimburse
Purchaser for fifty percent (50%) of such amount; provided that, with respect to
any goods and services Tax ("GST") incurred in Canada in connection with the
consummation of the purchase of the Transferred Assets (Canada), Purchaser shall
pay the full amount of such GST to Thomson, and Thomson shall have no obligation
to reimburse Purchaser for any amount of such GST.

     Section 5.11 Employee Matters.

          (a) United States.

               (i) Not less than fifteen (15) days before the Closing Date,
Purchaser shall offer each of the Business Employees in the United States
employed by Thomson on the Closing Date employment by Purchaser or any of its
Subsidiaries or U.S. NewCo on the Closing Date (the Business Employees who
accept such offer are referred to collectively as the "U.S. Transferred
Employees") with base salary, wage and commission which are no less favorable
than that provided by the applicable Thomson Accessories Entity on the date of
the offer. In addition, if Purchaser terminates the employment of any U.S.
Transferred Employee after Closing, Purchaser shall pay to such U.S. Transferred
Employee severance benefits under the terms of Purchaser's severance plan as in
effect from time-to-time and giving service credit to such employee for his or
her years of service at Thomson or its Subsidiaries.

               (ii) Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries or U.S.

employee fringe benefit programs, policies or arrangements (such plans,
programs, policies and arrangements, the "Purchaser Plans") to all U.S.
Transferred Employees on the same terms generally applicable to Purchaser's
existing employees. To the extent permitted by Law, for purposes of all
Purchaser Plans under which a U.S. Transferred Employee's eligibility for
benefits depends, in whole or in part, on length of service, credit will be
given to such U.S. Transferred Employee for service with Thomson and its
Subsidiaries (including service with a predecessor employer to the extent such
service was credited by Thomson) prior to the Closing; provided that such
service credit does not result in duplication of benefits. Thomson shall retain
responsibility for and continue to pay all medical, life insurance, disability
and other expenses relating to claims for welfare benefits for each U.S.
Transferred Employee with respect to claims incurred by such U.S. Transferred
Employee or his or her covered dependents on or prior to the last day of the
month in which the Closing occurs. Purchaser shall be responsible for all
expenses and benefits with respect to claims incurred by U.S. Transferred

case of a claim for medical or dental benefits, when the services are performed,
the supplies are provided or medication is prescribed, and not when the
condition at issue arose; (ii) in the case of life insurance, when the death
occurs; (iii) in the case of long-term disability benefits, when the disability
occurs; and (iv) in the case of workers compensation benefits, when the event

be honored by Purchaser, its Subsidiaries and/or U.S. NewCo unless the cash
value of such vacation, sickness, leave and personal days is paid to such U.S.
Transferred Employer by Thomson.

               (iii) Purchaser shall cause, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law, the applicable Purchaser Plan to accept eligible rollover
distributions (as defined in Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) from U.S.
Transferred Employees with respect to any account balances distributed on or as
of the Closing Date by the applicable Business Benefit Plans. The distributions
and rollovers described herein shall comply with applicable Law, and each Party
shall make all filings and take any actions required of such Party under
applicable Law in connection therewith.

               (iv) With respect to all U.S. Transferred Employees who are "M&A
Qualified Beneficiaries" (as defined in Section 54.4980B-9 Q&A-4(a) of the
Treasury Regulations), Purchaser shall provide the notice required by Section
4980B(f)(6) of the Code and shall make available to such individuals
continuation coverage under a group health plan maintained by Purchaser, as
provided by Section 54.4980B-9 Q&A-7 of the Treasury Regulations. With respect
to all Business Employees who are not U.S. Transferred Employees, but who are

Treasury Regulations) Thomson shall provide the notice required by Section
4980B(f)(7) of the Code and shall make available to such individuals

Law, for purposes of all Purchaser Plans under which a Canada Transferred
Employee's eligibility for benefits depends, in whole or in part, on length of
service, credit will be given to such Canada Transferred Employee for service

days after the Closing to ensure the orderly transition of each of U.S. NewCo,
the Transferred Assets and Transferred Liabilities from Thomson to Purchaser and
to minimize any disruption to the respective businesses of Thomson and Purchaser
that might result from, the Contemplated Transactions.

          (b) After the Closing, upon reasonable notice, Purchaser and Thomson
shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other and their Representatives
reasonable access, during normal business hours, to such information and
assistance relating to U.S. NewCo, the formation of U.S. NewCo, the U.S.
Restructuring, the Transferred Operations, Transferred Assets and Transferred
Liabilities, the Thomson Accessories Entities and the Business as is reasonably
necessary for financial reporting and accounting matters, or the defense or
prosecution of any litigation, arbitration or other dispute, or the preparation
and filing of any Tax Returns, or complying with such Party's obligations under
any audit request, subpoena or other investigative demand or the defense of any
Tax audit, claim or assessment, or complying with obligations to provide
customers with certain information relating to its account or any dispute
related thereto, or complying with such Party's obligations under federal or
foreign securities laws. Each Party shall make its Representatives (including,
on the part of Purchaser, any Transferred Employees) available to the other
Party to provide such reasonably requested information and assistance
(including, if the employees that were principally responsible for preparing the
financial statements of the Business are not employed by Purchaser, providing to
Purchaser's auditors a management representation letter in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to Thomson and Purchaser's auditors). Each Party shall
reimburse the other for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in
assisting the other pursuant to this Section 5.12. Neither Party shall be
required by this Section 5.12(b) to take any action that would unreasonably
interfere with the conduct of its business or unreasonably disrupt its normal
operations or result in any actual or potential breach of the Law or give rise
to any other actual or potential compliance concern.

          (c) If Purchaser or its Subsidiaries receive payment on any of the
accounts receivable of the Business retained by Thomson, or Thomson or its
Subsidiaries receive payment of any of the accounts receivable of the Business
not retained by Thomson or otherwise related to the Business after Closing,
Purchaser or Thomson, as applicable, shall, or shall cause its Subsidiary, as
applicable, as soon as reasonably practicable to: (i) make payment of such funds
to the bank account designated by such other Party from time to time and (ii)
inform in writing the representative designated by such other Party of the
amount and payor of the receivable to be transferred.


                                       35



          (d) If either Party shall, from time to time, identify any Transferred
Asset that was not transferred, or any asset which was not listed as a
Transferred Asset but was transferred to Purchaser, each at the time of Closing,
the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to transfer those assets after
Closing.

          (e) As soon as reasonably practical after the Closing Date, Thomson
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser all agreements, documents,
books, records and files, including records and files stored on computer discs
or tapes or any other storage medium (collectively, "Records") in the possession
of Thomson primarily relating to the operations of U.S. NewCo and the
Transferred Assets; provided, however, that:

               (i) Purchaser recognizes that certain Records may relate to
Thomson or to Subsidiaries, divisions or assets of Thomson other than U.S. NewCo
and the Transferred Assets and that Thomson may retain such Records and shall
provide copies of the relevant portions thereof to Purchaser;

               (ii) Thomson may retain (and not provide copies of) all Records
prepared in connection with the sale of U.S. NewCo and the Transferred Assets,
including bids received from other parties and analyses relating to the
Business; and

               (iii) Thomson may retain any Tax Returns and Purchaser shall be
provided with copies of such Tax Returns only to the extent that they relate to
separate Tax Returns or separate Tax liability of U.S. NewCo.

     Section 5.13 Warranty Returns and Replacements.

          (a) No later than 120 days after the Closing Date, (i) Thomson shall

          (b) No later than 300 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall

          (c) Purchaser agrees that returns or replacements for the purposes of
stock balancing and returns or replacements for any purposes other than bona
fide warranty claims shall not apply to paragraphs (a) and (b) above and agrees
not to invite any customer or distributor to engage in such practices, but shall
carry on the warranty return policy of the Business in the ordinary course
consistent with past practice.

          (d) Within fifteen (15) days following the end of the Warranty Period,
each Party (the "Reporting Party") shall furnish the other Party with a written
report, or an electronic version of such report (each such report, a "Warranty
Report"), if available, in a form mutually agreed upon by the Parties,
specifying the number of units of each model of Accessories Product for which
the Reporting Party and its Affiliates were charged by distributors and/or
customers, during the Warranty Period, for the return or replacement thereof, or
for which the Reporting Party or any of its Affiliates incurred replacements
costs, separated by SKU and the applicable distributor/customer and indicating
for each the reason for the return or replacement, the amounts paid to the
distributor or customer and the replacement costs incurred.

          (e) Within fifteen (15) days following the end of the Post Warranty
Period, Thomson shall furnish Purchaser with a written report, or an electronic

true and accurate records, files and books of account containing all the data
reasonably required for the full computation and verification of the amounts
paid and the reports provided under this Section 5.13. Each Party shall permit,
and shall cause its Affiliates to permit, during usual business hours and upon
reasonable advance notice, the other Party or its duly authorized
representatives adequately to inspect the same following the Warranty Period or
the Post Warranty Period, as the case may be. In the event that such an
inspection reveals an underpayment, the other Party shall immediately remit
payment in the amount of the underpayment. A Party may dispute any amount or
data contained in the Reporting Party's report required to be furnished pursuant
to this Section 5.13. In the event of a dispute the Parties shall follow the
procedures set forth in Section 2.6(f) with the reference to the phrase "the
Closing Balance Sheet or the Closing Vacation Schedule or in the Net Working
Capital calculation" deemed to be replaced by a reference to the applicable
Warranty Report. All records, files and books required to be maintained under
this Section 5.13 shall be retained for at least two (2) years after the end of
the Post Warranty Period.

          (g) Within fifteen (15) days after each month of the Warranty Period
and the Post Warranty Period, each of Purchaser and Thomson, shall, as
applicable, deliver to the other an aggregate summary report of the amount
charged by distributors and customers to such Party (or


                                       37



its Affiliates) (including as a result of set-offs against amounts due to such
Party and its Affiliates) for the return or replacement of Accessories Products
to such Party or such Party's replacement cost of such Accessories Products in
the prior month. Within fifteen (15) days after each month of the Post Warranty
Period, Thomson shall deliver to the Purchaser an aggregate summary report of

Affiliates) for the return or replacement of Accessories Products to Thomson or

     Section 5.14 Noncompetition Agreement.

          (a) During the period commencing with the Closing Date and ending on
the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the "Noncompetition Period"), Thomson
shall not and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to not engage in any
"Competitive Activity" (as such term is defined below) anywhere in North America
or South America.

          (b) "Competitive Activity" shall mean engaging in the manufacture,
marketing, sale or distribution of Accessory Products ("Competing Products").
For the purpose of this Section 5.14 only, the term "Accessory Products" shall
mean such term as defined in Exhibit 2 of the RCA Trademark Assignment
Agreement.

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision in this
Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement to the contrary: (A) the licensing
by Thomson or its Affiliates of Intellectual Property to Affiliates or unrelated
third parties for the design, manufacture, marketing, sale or distribution of
Accessory Products or otherwise shall be deemed to not be a Competitive Activity
and shall not otherwise be prohibited or limited in any manner by reason of this
Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements; (B) in the event that after the
date hereof, any Person or group acquires control of Thomson, such Person's or
group's Affiliates shall be deemed not to be Affiliates of Thomson for the
purposes of this Section 5.14 and as such the activities of such Person or group
and their Affiliates shall be deemed to not be a Competitive Activity and shall
not otherwise be prohibited or limited in any manner by reason of this Agreement
or the other Transaction Agreements; and (C) the sale of Accessories Products by
Thomson in Chile and Mexico, including Thomson acting as a distributor for
Purchaser in Chile and Mexico as contemplated hereby shall be deemed to not be a
Competitive Activity and shall not otherwise be prohibited or limited in any
manner by reason of this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements.

Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement to the contrary, the following

          (ii)   cables, connectors and other wired or wireless interconnect
                 products that are (A) specifically designed and marketed for
                 use with (or to retrofit) a specific model or models of any
                 products that are not Competing Products, and which accessories
                 are not marketed as being compatible with other products
                 (provided that, for avoidance of doubt, marketing of
                 compatibility with industry standards and protocols is not
                 precluded); and (B) bundled together or packaged with any
                 product that is not a Competing Product at the time of their
                 retail sale (including remote controls) and replacements, which
                 are not generally marketed to the public;

          (iii)  modulators/demodulators, hubs, routers, switches, gateways, or
                 any product that tunes, receives, captures, records, stores,

          (iv)   any product associated with satellite television reception,

                 or content providers (including remote control products); (B)
                 designed or manufactured for OEMs, network operators or content
                 providers (whether sold or distributed at retail or to OEMs,
                 network operators or content providers) (including remote
                 control products); or (C) developed, produced, sold or marketed
                 by Thomson's business units other than the Business for use in
                 the office or the home office market;

          (vi)   all products designed, manufactured, marketed, sold or

          (vii)  any content and any product which has as its primary function
                 the sale or distribution of audio, video, audio/video or other

                 electronically (for example, without limitation, compact disc,
                 video cassette and DVD);

          (viii) any product that is used, sold or distributed in connection
                 with the provision of a service as part of the service
                 provided;


                                       39



          (ix)   any product that may include functions or apparatus that if
                 such functions or apparatus were sold or distributed separately
                 on a standalone basis would constitute a Competing Product, as
                 long as the marketing of such product is not primarily based on
                 such function or apparatus that would constitute a Competing
                 Product;

          (x)    any pre-recorded, recordable or re-writable media;

          (xi)   any product based on Gyration's proprietary gyroscope
                 technology; or

          (xii)  any set top box.

          (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing and for purposes of clarification,
the provisions of this Section 5.14 shall not prevent Thomson or any of its
Subsidiaries from: (i) beneficially owning up to five percent (5%), on a
fully-diluted basis, of the total shares of all classes of stock outstanding of
any entity having securities listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the American
Stock Exchange or Nasdaq or listed or traded on any non-U.S. stock exchange of
quotation service of similar standing, including, without limitation, the
Euronext N.V.; and (ii) acquiring any assets used in, or Person engaged in, any
Competitive Activity, provided that (A) such Competitive Activity does not
represent in the aggregate in excess of ten percent (10%) of the profits derived
from such assets or Person, or (B) if such Competitive Activity does represent
in excess of ten percent (10%) of the profits derived from such Person or
assets, such Person ceases or limits its conduct of the Competitive Activity,
including by selling all or any portion of the business or assets relating to
the Competitive Activity, within six (6) months of the closing date on which
Thomson or its Subsidiary acquired its ownership interest in the Person or
assets. Nothing contained herein shall prevent Thomson or any of its
Subsidiaries from engaging in any activity other than the Competitive
Activities.

          (f) It is the understanding of the Parties that the scope of the
covenants contained in this Section 5.14, both as to time and area covered, are
necessary to protect the rights of Purchaser and the goodwill that is a part of
the business to be acquired by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. It is the
Parties' intention that these covenants be enforced to the greatest extent (but
to no greater extent) in time, area and degree of participation as is permitted
by the law of that jurisdiction whose law is found to be applicable to any acts
in reach of these covenants. These covenants shall be governed by and construed
according to that law (from among those jurisdictions arguably applicable to
this Agreement and those in which a breach of this Agreement is alleged to have
occurred or to be threatened) which best gives them effect. The prohibitions in
this Section 5.14 shall be deemed, and shall be construed as separate and
independent agreements between Purchaser, on the one hand, and Thomson on the
other. If any such agreement or any part of such agreement is held invalid, void
or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity,
voidness or unenforceability shall in no way render invalid, void or
unenforceable any other part of them or any separate agreement not declared
invalid, void or unenforceable; and this Agreement shall in such case be
construed as if the invalid, void or unenforceable provisions were omitted.

          (g) The Parties agree that the covenants of Thomson not to compete
contained in this Section 5.14 may be assigned by Purchaser to any Person to
whom may be transferred the


                                       40



Business (as acquired by Purchaser under this Agreement) by the sale or transfer
of all or substantially all the assets of the Business or otherwise. It is the
Parties' intention that these covenants of Thomson shall inure to the benefit of
any Person that may succeed to the Business (as acquired by Purchaser under this
Agreement) with the same force and effect as if these covenants were made
directly with such successor.

     Section 5.15 Non-Solicitation of Employees. Except as expressly set forth
in Section 5.11, each Party agrees that for a period of twelve (12) months from
the date hereof, such Party shall not, either directly or indirectly, attempt to
solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any of the other Party's (or its
Subsidiaries') employees to leave their employment, or otherwise take away such
employees, either for itself or for any other person or entity, provided that
neither Party shall be restricted in any general solicitation for employees or
public advertising of employment opportunities (including through the use of
employment agencies) not specifically directed at the other Party's (or its
Subsidiaries') employees, and provided further that no Party shall be restricted
in hiring any such person who responds to any such general solicitation or
public advertising on his or her own initiative and without solicitation by such
Party in contravention of the above restriction.

     Section 5.16 Confidentiality.

          (a) For the avoidance of doubt, as set forth in Section 9.6, the
Parties acknowledge and agree that, up to the Closing, any information provided
or exchanged in connection with this Agreement and/or the negotiation of the
Contemplated Transactions shall be governed by the Confidentiality Agreement.

          (b) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall
certify that it has returned to Thomson, or destroyed, all Evaluation Material
(as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) that does not relate to the
Business (the "Non-Business Information"). To the extent that, notwithstanding
the foregoing certification, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates retains any
Non-Business Information, such Non-Business Information shall be protected as
provided in the Confidentiality Agreement up to the Closing and, from and for a
period of (2) years after the Closing, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its
Affiliates to, (i) treat and hold as confidential all such information and
materials and (ii) refrain from using and disclosing such information and
materials.

          (c) From and for a period of two (2) years after the Closing,
Purchaser and Thomson shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, (i) treat and
hold as confidential any proprietary information provided or exchanged in
connection with this Agreement and/or the negotiation of the Contemplated
Transactions relating to both the Business and any other business or activities
of Thomson and/or any of its Affiliates (the "Shared Confidential Information")
and (ii) refrain from using and disclosing the Shared Confidential Information
except to the extent in connection with its obligations under this Agreement or
to the extent reasonably necessary to operate their respective businesses (which
disclosures shall be subject to reasonably appropriate restrictions on further
use and disclosure). Shared Confidential Information shall not include
information which (a) is or becomes generally available to the public other than
as a result of a breach of this Agreement by a Party or any of its Affiliates,
(b) is or becomes available to a Party or any of its Affiliates on a
non-confidential basis from a


                                       41



source other than the other Party and its Affiliates, provided that such Party
or its Affiliate (as applicable) is not aware that such source is bound by a
confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary
obligation of confidentiality to the other Party or any of its Affiliates, or
(c) is independently developed by a Party or any of its Affiliates without use
of any Shared Confidential Information or violation of any obligation hereunder,
as evidenced by such Party's or its Affiliates' (as applicable) contemporaneous
written records.

          (d) From and for a period of two (2) years after the Closing, Thomson
shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, (i) treat and hold as confidential any
proprietary information provided or exchanged in connection with this Agreement
and/or the negotiation of the Contemplated Transactions relating exclusively to
the Business (the "Business Confidential Information") and (ii) refrain from
using and disclosing the Business Confidential Information except to the extent
in connection with its obligations under this Agreement. Business Confidential
Information shall not include information which (a) is or becomes generally
available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement by
Thomson or any of its Affiliates, (b) is or becomes available to Thomson or any
of its Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the
Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, provided that Thomson or its Affiliate (as
applicable) is not aware that such source is bound by a confidentiality
agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of
confidentiality to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or (c) is
independently developed by Thomson or any of its Affiliates without use of any
Business Confidential Information or violation of any obligation hereunder, as
evidenced by Thomson's or its Affiliates' (as applicable) contemporaneous
written records.

          (e) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the terms and conditions of
this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements may be disclosed in accordance with
subpart (ii) of Section 5.16(f) below in connection with Purchaser's filings
with the Unites States Securities and Exchange Commission. Otherwise and until
disclosure of the relevant information is validly made pursuant to this Section
5.16, each Party will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, at any time,
disclose, directly or indirectly, any of the terms or conditions of this
Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement unless permitted under Section 5.16(f).

          (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may disclose the terms
and conditions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or the confidential
information referred to in paragraphs (b), (c) or (d) above: (i) to the extent
permitted with the other Party's prior written consent; (ii) to the extent such
disclosure is reasonably determined by such Party to be required by applicable
Law, regulation, legal process or stock exchange regulation, in which case the
disclosing Party shall give the other Party to the extent practicable reasonable
advance notice of any such required disclosure and the reasonably opportunity to
consult with such Party in advance of the disclosure; (iii) to the extent
reasonably necessary in connection with the enforcement of its rights or
satisfaction of its obligations hereunder; or (iv) in confidence to legal
counsel, accountants and their advisors. Further, either Party may disclose the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and/or any Ancillary Agreement, and/or
the confidential information referred to in paragraph (c), in confidence to
banks, financing sources, bona fide prospective merger or acquisition partners
and their advisors.

be transferred to Purchaser pursuant hereto and the parties will enter into
appropriate transfer documents, if necessary to effectuate such Transfer. The
Parties agree that failure of the Parties to transfer such office equipment at
the Closing will not delay the Closing of the other transactions contemplated
hereby and, if such failure shall occur, such office equipment will be
transferred as soon as practicable after the Closing.

     Section 5.18 Accessory Products Filings. The Parties agree to cooperate
reasonably with each other to identify the Accessory Products Filings (as
defined in the RCA Trademark Assignment Agreement) for inclusion into Exhibit 6
of the RCA Trademark Assignment Agreement prior to the Closing Date. To the
extent that there is any good faith disagreement regarding whether a specific
registration or application is an Accessory Products Filing, and such
disagreement cannot be resolved prior to the Closing Date, the Parties agree to
resolve such disagreement as soon as practicable following the Closing Date.
Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit or prevent Purchaser from
identifying any registration or application as an Accessory Products Filing at
any time after the Closing Date, it being understood that Thomson has the right
to disagree as to whether such newly identified registration or application is
actually an Accessory Products Filing.

     Section 5.19 Open Sales Order Schedule. Within one day after the first
Business Day following the Closing Date, Thomson will deliver to Purchaser a
list of all open sales orders and

Date is not a Business Day, the first Business Day thereafter), in either
electronic or written format, identifying each customer, item, pricing, quantity
and the location to which the product is being shipped. On the Closing Date,
Thomson will deliver to Purchaser a list of all open purchase orders and
carryover orders relating to the Business as of the Closing Date, in either
electronic or written format, identifying each vendor, address of each vendor,
item description, quantity and price.

     Section 5.20 Accessories Inventory at Distributors and Manufacturers.
Within six (6) months after Closing, Purchaser shall purchase from Thomson all
inventories of Accessories Products that are in original packaging and are
repurchased by Thomson under the terms of the Buyback Agreements; provided that

Accessories Products pursuant to Thomson's warranties pursuant to Section 5.13.
Such purchases by Purchaser shall be at the full cost incurred by Thomson for
such repurchases.

     Section 5.21 Certain Inventory.

and agrees that it will, and will cause Audiovox Canada Ltd. to, only resell
such inventory in the form packaged and provided by Thomson Canada and/or its
Affiliates and will not otherwise engage in any use of any "GE" trademark unless
separately licensed. Returns and replacements by customers and distributors of
the Business's inventory of "GE" branded Accessories Products located in Canada
have been taken into account in determining the level of the Warranty Reserve.

          (b) With respect to the U.S. and Canadian finished good inventory of
"Gyration" branded Accessories Products, and pending purchase orders therefor,
pursuant to any of the Asset Transfer Agreements, Purchaser is hereby appointed

will cause its Affiliates to, only resell such inventory in the form packaged
and provided by Thomson and/or its Affiliates and will not otherwise engage in
any use of any "Gyration" trademark unless separately licensed. Returns and
replacements by customers and distributors of the Business' inventory of
"Gyration" branded Accessories Products located in the U.S. and Canada have been
taken into account in determining the level of the Warranty Reserve.

     Section 5.22 Distribution Agreements. The Parties shall negotiate in good
faith to enter into distribution agreements on or prior to Closing for the
territories of Mexico and Chile pursuant to which Thomson shall act as the
exclusive authorized distributor of Purchaser for Accessories Products in such
territories, and which distribution agreements will permit Thomson to sell its
remaining Accessories Products Inventory in Mexico and Chile, as those
Inventories are not being transferred.

defined in the RCA Trademark Assignment Agreement); (B) Purchaser shall pay all
such fees with respect to Accessory Products Filings (as defined in the RCA
Trademark Assignment Agreement); and (C) Purchaser shall pay all such fees with
respect to the Recoton Marks and Recoton Marks (Other Fields).

               (ii) In the event that Thomson or its Affiliate engages outside
legal counsel in connection with such filings under this Section 5.23(b),
Purchaser shall reimburse Thomson or its Affiliate for reasonable fees incurred
by Thomson or its Affiliate for services rendered by such outside counsel
directly in connection with such filings only if such outside counsel has been
mutually agreed by the Parties (which agreement shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed). For the avoidance of any doubt, Purchaser shall not be
obligated to pay any fees for any outside counsel engaged by Thomson or its
Affiliate, which counsel has not be mutually agreed hereunder.

necessary documents to update the record ownership of such Non-Thomson Filings.
Thomson agrees to cooperate with Purchaser and agrees to provide all necessary
documents to Purchaser in order for Purchaser to file for and complete such
filings. Purchaser agrees to bear all costs and expenses for the filings made
under this Section 5.23(b)(iii).

ownership by Thomson or one of its Affiliates with respect to such Non-Thomson
Filing, and the rights and obligations of the Parties with respect thereto,
shall be governed under


                                       45



this Section 5.23(b) without the need for Purchaser to separately request an
update of record ownership.

               (v) For the avoidance of any doubt, in the event that Thomson or
its Affiliate files and updates the record ownership of the Non-Thomson Filings
on its own accord (and not upon the request of Purchaser), Purchaser shall have
no obligation to pay for any costs or expenses associated with such filings.
Thomson agrees to use reasonable efforts to notify Purchaser in the event that
Thomson or its Affiliate makes any filing under this Section 5.23(b)(v).

relationship with Purchaser in connection with the Contemplated Transactions.

     Section 5.25 RCA Filings in the U.S. and Canada. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in any of the Ancillary Agreements:

          (a) With respect to Mixed Filings (as defined in the Trademark
Co-Existence Agreement) for the RCA Marks in the U.S. and Canada (the "U.S. &
Canadian Mixed Filings"), the Parties agree as follows: (i) the Parties shall
reasonably cooperate, prior to and after Closing, in good faith to prepare all
necessary documents required to divide or amend, as applicable, the U.S. &
Canadian Mixed Filings in order to effect the division of such Mixed Filings in

such documents and neither Party shall unreasonably withhold or delay its
consent with respect to such documents or any proposed modifications thereto;
and (ii) Thomson shall file such documents with the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office and the Canadian Intellectual Property Office as soon as practicable
following the Parties' agreement thereof, but in no event later than forty-five
(45) calendar days immediately following the Closing.

          (b) To the extent that there is no registration or application for the
RCA Marks covering Accessory Products (as defined in the RCA Trademark
Assignment Agreement) existing in the U.S. or in Canada (or if the existing
registrations and/or applications cover some, but not all of Accessory Products
(as defined in the RCA Trademark Assignment Agreement)), Purchaser may file an
application to cover such products in the U.S. and/or Canada at anytime on or
after the Closing; provided that, with respecting any filing made within thirty
(30) days of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide notice of its intent to

(10) Business Days prior to such filing.


                                       46



          (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or the
Ancillary Agreements, compliance with this Section 5.25 shall not be a condition

otherwise provided in this Agreement whether the Parties have complied with this
Section 5.25 or not.

each case of (i) and (ii)) where such failure to be so true and correct would

Purchaser shall have received a certificate to such effect signed by an
executive officer of Thomson.

contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) those representations and warranties
which address matters only as of a particular date (which shall remain true and
correct as of such date)) with the same force and effect as if made on and as of
the Closing Date, and Thomson shall have received a certificate to such effect

                                   ARTICLE VII
                                   TERMINATION

     Section 7.1 Termination.

          (a) This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

               (i) By the mutual written consent of Thomson and Purchaser;


                                       48



               (ii) Upon ten (10) days' prior written notice, by either Thomson,
on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, if the Closing shall not have
occurred by February 2, 2007; provided that the right to terminate this
Agreement under this Section 7.1(a)(ii) shall not be available to any party that
is in material breach of or default under this Agreement or whose failure to
fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the principal cause
of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior
to such date;

               (iii) Upon five (5) days' prior written notice, by either
Thomson, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, in the event that any
Governmental Authority shall have issued an order, decree or ruling restraining,
enjoining or otherwise prohibiting any of the Contemplated Transactions and such
order, decree or ruling shall have become final and non-appealable; or

               (iv) By either Party if the other Party has breached any of is
representations, warranties or agreements hereunder, such breach would cause any
conditions to Closing not to be satisfied, and such breach remains uncured for
thirty (30) days after notice thereof has been delivered by the non-breaching
Party.

          (b) In the event of any termination pursuant to this Section 7.1:

               (i) Purchaser shall return or destroy, and shall cause its
Affiliates and Representatives to return or destroy, to Thomson all documents
and other material received from Thomson or any of its Subsidiaries or any of
their respective Representatives relating to the Contemplated Transactions,
whether so obtained before or after the execution of this Agreement; and

               (ii) All confidential information received by Purchaser, its
Affiliates and their respective Representatives shall be treated in accordance
with the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement.

     Section 7.2 Effect of Termination. Each Party's right of termination under
Section 7.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement
or otherwise, and the exercise of a right of termination will not be an election
of remedies. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in
Section 7.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no
liability on the part of any Party except that (a) this Article VII, and Article
IX (Miscellaneous) shall survive any such termination and (b) nothing herein
shall be deemed to release any Party from any liability for any breach by such
Party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or to impair the right of
any Party to compel specific performance by any other Party of its obligations
under this Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                                 INDEMNIFICATION

     Section 8.1 Survival.

          (a) The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement
shall survive the Closing solely for the purposes of this Article VIII, and such
representations and warranties


                                       49



shall terminate on the date that is fifteen (15) months after the Closing Date;
provided, however, that the representations and warranties contained in Sections
3.1 (Organization, etc.), 3.2 (Authorization; Enforceability), 3.5
(Capitalization and Voting Rights), 3.18 (Tax Returns, Payments and Elections)
and 3.23 (No Brokers) shall survive the Closing until thirty days after the
expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period(s). Neither Purchaser
nor Thomson shall have any liability whatsoever with respect to any such
representations and warranties after such termination dates, except as provided
in Section 8.1(b). The covenants and agreements (other than the representations
and warranties) contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall
continue until all obligations with respect thereto shall have been performed or
satisfied or shall have been terminated in accordance with their terms.

          (b) Any representation or warranty that would otherwise terminate
shall continue to survive in respect of all Losses with respect to which notice
is given pursuant to this Agreement prior to the end of the applicable survival
period set forth in Section 8.1(a) until the matter is finally resolved.

     Section 8.2 Indemnification.

          (a) Subject to Section 8.5, after the Closing, Purchaser, its
Subsidiaries, U.S. NewCo and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors,
employees, agents, successors and assigns shall be indemnified and held harmless
by Thomson for any and all liabilities, losses, damages, debts, obligations,
claims, costs or expenses, interest, awards, judgments, orders, fines and
penalties (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) actually suffered
or incurred by them (a "Loss"), to the extent such Losses arise out of or result
from or relate to:

               (i) the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty
made by Thomson contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement other
than the Transition Services Agreement (without taking into account any
"materiality" or "material adverse effect" modifiers therein; provided that this
clause will not apply to Section 3.11);

               (ii) the breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement
by Thomson contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement other than
the Transition Services Agreement;

               (iii) any Excluded Liabilities;

               (iv) the operation of the Business prior to the Closing (other
than to the extent included in the Transferred Liabilities);

               (v) any claim made under the Bulk Sales Act (Ontario) by a
creditor of the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries as at the time of Closing
who has status to bring such claim as a result of non-compliance with such act
in connection with the transfer of the Transferred Assets (Canada); or

               (vi) any non-compliance with section 6 of the Retail Sales Tax
Act (Ontario) and any equivalent or corresponding provisions contained in any
similar legislation.


                                       50



          (b) Subject to Section 8.5, after the Closing, Thomson, its
Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees,
agents, successors and assigns shall be indemnified and held harmless by
Purchaser for any and all Losses, to the extent such Losses arise out of or
result from or relate to:

               (i) the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty
made by Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement
other than the Transition Services Agreement (without taking into account any
"materiality" or "material adverse effect" modifiers therein);

               (ii) the breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement
by Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement other
than the Transition Services Agreement;

               (iii) any Transferred Liabilities; or

               (iv) the operation of the Business after the Closing to the
extent related to the Equity Interests, Transferred Assets or Transferred
Liabilities.

          (c) Any Party seeking indemnification under this Section 8.2 (an
"Indemnified Party") shall as promptly as reasonably practicable give the Party
from whom indemnification is being sought (an "Indemnifying Party") notice of
any matter which such Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give
rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement stating the amount of
the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a
reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of
indemnification is claimed or arises, provided that failure to give such notice
shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability hereunder except to the
extent such failure results in a prejudice to the Indemnifying Party; provided,
however, that this provision shall not apply to any notice delivered with
respect to a representation or warranty that is delivered after the applicable
survival period in Section 8.1(a).

          (d) The obligations and liabilities of an Indemnifying Party under
this Section 8.2 with respect to Losses arising from claims of any third party
which are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Section 8.2
("Third Party Claims") shall be governed by and contingent upon the following
additional terms and conditions: if an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of
any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party
notice of such Third Party Claim within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt by
the Indemnified Party of such notice; provided, however, that the failure to
provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its
obligations under this Section 8.2 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party
is materially prejudiced by such failure; and provided further, that, if the
failure to provide such notice results in any Loss or any monetary detriment to
the Indemnifying Party, then any amount which the Indemnifying Party is
otherwise obligated to pay the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement
shall be reduced by the amount of such detriment. The Indemnifying Party shall
be entitled, but not obligated, to assume and control the defense of such Third
Party Claim at its expense if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the
Indemnified Party within 60 calendar days of the receipt of such notice from the
Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to
retain its own counsel at its expense; and provided,


                                       51



further, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of
interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the
Indemnified Party for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party
and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to
retain its own counsel, reasonably acceptable to Indemnifying Party, at the
expense of the Indemnified Party (and any such reasonable attorney's fees and
expenses would be considered a Loss to the extent provided by Section 8.2). If
the Indemnifying Party does undertake the defense of such Third Party Claim, the
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel (any reasonable
fees and expenses of such counsel would be considered a Loss to the extent
provided by Section 8.2). If the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to
undertake any such defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above,
the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such
defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent
records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party's possession or
under the Indemnified Party's control relating thereto as is reasonably required
by the Indemnifying Party. Similarly, if the Indemnified Party, directly or
indirectly, is conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the
Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense
and make available to the Indemnified Party all such witnesses, pertinent
records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party's possession or
under the Indemnifying Party's control relating thereto as is reasonably
required by the Indemnified Party. Neither the Indemnifying Party nor the
Indemnified Party shall settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to
the entry of any judgment unless (i) the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified
Party, as the case may be, is given an unconditional written release by the
claimant or plaintiff from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim,
(ii) such settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment provides
for monetary relief only, and (iii) the terms of the settlement would not result
in any material adverse effect on such party's business or the business to be
purchased pursuant to this Agreement. No Third Party Claim which is being
defended in good faith by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement shall be settled by the Indemnified Party without the prior
written consent of the Indemnifying Party. The provisions of Section 8.3, and
not this Section 8.2(d), shall apply with respect to Tax Claims.

     Section 8.3 Tax Indemnification.

          (a) Thomson and its Affiliates shall indemnify Purchaser and its
Affiliates (including U.S. NewCo) and hold them harmless from all Losses arising
out of or resulting from (i) any liability, obligation or commitment, whether or
not accrued, assessed or currently due and payable, for any Taxes of U.S. NewCo
for any period ending on or before the Closing Date (including the Pre-Closing
Period of any Straddle Period) and (ii) any breach of a representation set forth
in Section 3.18 (Tax Returns, Payments and Elections). For the avoidance of
doubt, such indemnification shall not be subject to the limitations of Section
8.5.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of Section 8.2 to the
contrary, in the event that any Governmental Authority informs Thomson or any of
its Affiliates, on the one hand, or Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the
other hand, of any notice of a proposed audit or other dispute concerning an
amount of Taxes with respect to which the other Party may incur liability
hereunder, the Party so informed shall promptly (and in any case within ten (10)
days) notify the other Party of such matter, by facsimile or e-mail, confirmed
by regular, first-class mail. Such notice shall contain factual information (to
the extent known) describing any asserted

Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any
notice or other documents received from any Governmental Authority with respect
to such matter. If an Indemnified Party has knowledge of an asserted Tax
liability with respect to a matter for which it may be indemnified hereunder and
such party fails to provide the Indemnifying Party prompt notice of such
asserted Tax liability, then the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the
Indemnified Party to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually
prejudiced as a result thereof.

          (c) Thomson shall control any audits, disputes, administrative,
judicial or other proceedings related to Taxes of U.S. NewCo ("Tax Claims") (i)
which relate to periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, (ii) which
relate to the Pre-Closing Portion of any Straddle Period provided that Purchaser
may, at its own expense, participate in such Tax Claim, or (iii) with respect to
which Thomson may reasonably be expected to indemnify Purchaser. Purchaser shall
control any other Tax Claims. Subject to the preceding sentence, in the event
that an adverse determination may result in each Party having a responsibility
for any amount of Tax under this Article VIII, each Party shall be entitled to
fully participate in that portion of the proceeding relating to the Taxes for
which it may incur liability hereunder. Each Party shall, upon request, promptly
provide to the other Party or its designated Affiliate powers of attorney or
similar authorizations necessary to permit such other Party, it Affiliates and
Representatives to carry out the purposes of this Section 8.3(c). For purposes
of this Section 8.3(c), the term "participate" shall include (i) participation
in conferences, meetings or Proceedings with any Governmental Authority, the
subject matter of which includes an item for which such Party may have liability
hereunder, (ii) participation in appearances before any court or tribunal, the
subject matter of which includes an item for which a Party may have liability
hereunder, and (iii) with respect to matters described in the preceding clauses
(i) and (ii), participation in the submission and determination of the content
of the documentation, protests, memoranda of fact and law and briefs, and the
conduct of oral arguments and presentations.

          (d) Neither Purchaser nor Thomson shall agree to settle any Tax
liability or compromise any claim with respect to Taxes, which settlement or
compromise may materially affect the liability for Taxes hereunder of the other
Party, without such other Party's consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that use of losses or credits of any
period ending on or before the Closing Date (including the Pre-Closing Portion
of any Straddle Period) to offset liability for Taxes for any period ending on
or before the Closing Date (including the Pre-Closing Portion of any Straddle
Period) shall not be considered to materially affect the liability for Taxes of
Purchaser.

     Section 8.4 Tax Treatment. Any payments under this Article VIII shall be
treated by the Parties hereto for Federal, state and local income Tax purposes
(whether foreign or domestic) as a purchase price adjustment, except to the
extent that a contrary treatment is required by applicable Law.

     Section 8.5 Limits on Indemnification.

          (a) No amount shall be payable by any Indemnifying Party pursuant to
Section 8.2(a)(i) unless the aggregate amount of Losses indemnifiable by such
Indemnifying


                                       53



Party under Section 8.2(a)(i) exceeds an amount equal to Six Hundred and Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($650,000.00) (and then only to the extent of such excess).

          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, the maximum amount of aggregate indemnifiable Losses which may be
recovered from Thomson pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i), other than Losses for
breaches of the representations under Sections 3.15(a) and (b), shall be an
amount equal to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (the "Indemnification Cap"),
provided that Losses for breaches under Sections 3.15(a) and (b) may be
recovered up to an additional Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000). The
Indemnification Cap and the other limitation on liability in the prior sentence
shall not apply to any indemnification obligation resulting from fraud.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, neither Party shall be liable to the other Party for any punitive or
exemplary loss or damage arising out of this Agreement; provided, however, that
this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to preclude recovery by an Indemnified
Party in respect of Losses directly incurred from Third Party Claims or for any
consequential damages. The Parties shall mitigate their damages.

          (d) The amount of an Indemnifying Party's liability under this
Agreement shall be net of any applicable insurance proceeds actually received
by, and that actually reduces the overall impact of the Losses upon, such
Indemnified Party.

          (e) In no event shall an Indemnifying Party be liable for any breach
or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty or breach or non-fulfillment of
any covenant under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement if and to the
extent that the Indemnified Party's Losses arising from such breach, inaccuracy,
or non-fulfillment were covered by the Purchase Price Adjustment in Section 2.6.

     Section 8.6 Indemnification as Exclusive Remedy. Subject to the limitations
set forth in this Article VIII, (a) the indemnification provided in Section
8.2(a) shall be Purchaser's exclusive remedy for any breach by Thomson of any
representation, warranty or covenant contained herein and (b) the
indemnification provided in Section 8.2(b) shall be Thomson's exclusive remedy
for any breach by Purchaser of any representation, warranty or covenant
contained herein, except in each case with respect to fraud. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the other
Party would be damaged irreparably if any of the provisions of this Agreement
are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are
breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties hereto agrees that the other Party
hereto shall be entitled to an injunction to prevent breaches of the provisions
of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and
provisions hereof (including the indemnification provisions hereof) in any
competent court having jurisdiction over the Parties, in addition to any other
remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity.

respect to the subject matter hereof, and no Party shall be liable or bound to
any other Party in any manner by any warranties, representations or covenants
except as specifically set forth herein or therein.

     Section 9.2 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed
by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York

conflicts of laws provisions thereof that would require the application of the
laws of any other jurisdiction.

     Section 9.3 Dispute Resolution.

          (a) Exclusivity. Any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or the breach or alleged
breach thereof which does not involve claims by or against third parties (a
"Dispute") shall be resolved exclusively as provided in this Section 9.3.
However, nothing in this Section shall preclude either Party from seeking
interim or provisional relief concerning the Dispute, including a temporary
restraining order, a preliminary injunction or an order of attachment, at any
time prior to or during Mediation or Arbitration. Any such interim or
provisional relief must be brought in the courts located in New York County, New
York State. Each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each
such court in any such proceeding and waives any objection it may now or
hereafter have to venue or to convenience of forum.

          (b) Mediation. If a Dispute arises, the Parties shall first attempt in
good faith to resolve it promptly by non-binding mediation in accordance with
this paragraph (b) ("Mediation"). A Party may initiate Mediation by providing
written notice (a "Dispute Notice") to the other Party setting forth in
reasonable detail the nature of the Dispute and the relief sought. The other
Party will respond in writing (a "Response") within five (5) business days from
the receipt of such Dispute Notice. The Parties shall mutually agree, as soon as
practicable after the Response, to an independent third-party mediator, with
appropriate experience and expertise, to assist in the Mediation. All matters
relating to, and all communications, whether oral, written or electronic, in,
any Mediation shall be non-binding and shall be confidential, and such
communications in Mediation shall also be treated as compromise and settlement
negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence. The costs of
Mediation, including fees and expenses of mediators, shall be shared in equal
measure by the Parties. The Parties shall bear their own legal fees, costs and
expenses of Mediation.

          (c) No Obligation. Neither Party shall be obligated to continue to
participate in Mediation if the Parties have not resolved the Dispute within
thirty (30) calendar days after delivery of the Dispute Notice to the other
Party or such longer period as may be agreed by the Parties.

          (d) Arbitration. Arbitration of Disputes shall be administered by the
American Arbitration Association in accordance with its International
Arbitration Rules then in effect by three independent and impartial arbitrators

the arbitrators shall be neutral and shall have no ex parte contact with the
Parties. The Arbitration shall be governed by the arbitral law of the State of
New York and discovery shall be permitted and governed in accordance with the
Federal Rules of Civil


                                       55

of the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards
of 1958 (the "New York Convention"). For purposes of the New York Convention,
the relationship between the Parties is commercial in nature, and any disputes
between the parties related to this contract shall be deemed commercial. All
matters relating to, and all communications, whether oral, written or
electronic, in, any Arbitration shall be confidential. The Parties shall bear
their own legal fees, costs and expenses of Arbitration; provided, however, the
arbitral panel in any Arbitration may award legal fees.

          (e) The Parties acknowledge and agree that in no event and under no
circumstances, including any breach or dispute under this Agreement or in the
Ancillary Agreements, shall any court of law or other jurisdictional authority
have the power or discretion to (i) rescind, unwind or otherwise re-transfer or
require the re-transfer of any of the Transferred Marks (as defined in the RCA
Trademark Agreement), or any rights therein, from Purchaser to RCA Trademark
Management or (ii) transfer or require the transfer of any Retained Marks (as
defined in the RCA Trademark Agreement), or any rights therein, from RCA
Trademark Management to Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
re-transfer of individual Filings (as defined in the RCA Trademark Agreement)
that are erroneously or inappropriately transferred to or otherwise registered
or obtained by a Party shall not be prohibited in this Section 9.3(e).

     Section 9.4 Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other

     Section 9.5 Assignment.

          (a) Either Party shall have the right to assign this Agreement and all
or any part of such Party's rights, interests or obligations hereunder to any
Affiliate of such Party, provided that such Party shall not be relieved of its
obligations under this Agreement.

          (b) Thomson may assign this Agreement in connection with a merger or
reorganization of Thomson with or into another person or the acquisition by such
person of all or substantially all of the outstanding capital stock or assets of
Thomson; provided that no such assignment shall relieve Thomson (or its
successor in the case of a merger) of any of its obligations or liabilities
hereunder.

          (c) Any attempted or purported assignment of this Agreement which does
not comply with this Section 9.5 shall be null and void, have no force or
effect, and confer no rights upon any third parties. Subject to compliance with
the provisions of this Section 9.5, the provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective
successors, assigns and transferees.

     Section 9.6 Confidentiality. Prior to the Closing, this Agreement is not
intended to supersede or replace the Confidentiality Agreement. The
Confidentiality Agreement will survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms until
the Closing and will terminate upon the Closing. Until the Closing, Purchaser
will continue to be obligated to perform and comply with its obligations under
the Confidentiality Agreement.

     Section 9.7 Materiality. As used in this Agreement, the term "material" and
the concept of the "material" nature of an effect upon the Business shall be
measured relative to the


                                       57



Business, taken as a whole, on the Effective Date and the Closing Date. The fact
that there have been included in the schedules and may be included elsewhere in
this Agreement items which are not "material" within the meaning of the
immediately preceding sentence shall not be deemed to be an agreement by Thomson
that such items are "material" or to further define the meaning of such terms
for purposes of this Agreement.

     Section 9.8 Public Announcements. No party to this Agreement shall make, or
cause to be made, any press release or public announcement, or otherwise
communicate with any news media, in respect of this Agreement or the
Contemplated Transactions without the prior written consent of the other Party,
and the Parties shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such press
release or public announcement; provided, that a Party may, without the prior
consent of the other Party, make such press release or public announcement as
may be required by Law or any listing agreement with a securities exchange if it
has used reasonable efforts to consult with the other Party.

     Section 9.9 Expenses. Irrespective of whether the Closing is effected, each
Party shall pay all costs and expenses that it incurs with respect to the
negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other
documents or agreements contemplated hereby, unless expressly stated otherwise
in this Agreement.

     Section 9.10 Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended,
supplemented or modified except by an agreement in writing signed by each of the
Parties hereto. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is
signed by the Party asserted to have granted such waiver.

     Section 9.11 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not
invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     Section 9.12 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the
benefit of Thomson and Purchaser and their permitted assigns, and nothing
herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other
Persons any rights or remedies hereunder except pursuant to Article VIII.

     Section 9.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts (by original or facsimile signature), each of which shall be deemed
an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

                            [signature page follows]


                                       58

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Members
AUDIOVOX SPECIALIZED APPLICATIONS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY
Elkhart, Indiana

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of AUDIOVOX SPECIALIZED
APPLICATIONS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY as of November 30, 2006 and 2005, and the
related consolidated statements of income, members' equity, and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended November 30, 2006. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provided a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AUDIOVOX SPECIALIZED
APPLICATIONS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY as of November 30, 2006 and 2005, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended November 30, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS, USE OF ESTIMATES, AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
        POLICIES

NATURE OF BUSINESS:

Audiovox Specialized Applications ("ASA") "The Mobile Electronics Company" is an
international supplier of mobile electronics in certain niche markets in the
Automotive Industry including: Recreational Vehicle, Van/SUV Conversion,
Commercial Vehicle, Heavy Duty Truck, Agricultural, Construction, Bus,
Limousine, and Marine industries. Its proprietary line of products include:
Flexvision LCD Entertainment Systems, including DVD and video cassette players;
Voyager Rear Observation and Bus Monitor/PA Systems and radios; Nextgen Modular
Chassis Systems; Aquatronics Marine Radios, Speakers, and Housings; Jensen
Marine Radios, Speakers and Housings and other Audio/Video Products; and Heavy
Duty Systems, Radios and other Audio Products. These products are sold to
customers throughout the world, generally on 30-day terms. ASA is headquartered
in Elkhart, Indiana and has a public distribution center in California.

USE OF ESTIMATES:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
CruiseTV, LLC ("CruiseTV") a wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant
intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

REVENUE RECOGNITION:

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales at the time of passage of
title and risk of loss to the customer either at F.O.B. Shipping Point or F.O.B.
Destination, based upon terms established with the customer. The Company's
selling price is fixed and determined at the time of shipment and collectibility
is reasonably assured and not contingent upon the customer's resale of the
product. The customers are generally not given rights of return. In the event
customers are granted rights of return, the Company estimates and records an
allowance for future returns. At November 30, 2006 and 2005, no such allowance
was deemed necessary. The product sale is not subject to acceptance or
installation by Company or customer personnel.

The Company recognizes shipping costs in selling, general and administrative in
the accompanying statements of income. Shipping costs for the years ended
November 30, 2006, 2005, and 2004 were approximately $518,000, $403,000, and
$387,000, respectively.

The Company recognizes royalty revenue at the time the related product is
purchased by Audiovox Corporation ("Audiovox"), a member of ASA. Total royalty
revenue under this agreement for the years ended November 30, 2006, 2005, and
2004 was approximately $649,000, $871,000, and $2,103,000, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SALES INCENTIVES:

The Company offers sales incentives to its customers primarily in the form of
co-operative advertising allowances and rebates. The Company accounts for sales
incentives in accordance with EITF 01-9, "Accounting for Consideration Given by
a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of Vendor's Products)" (EITF 01-9).
All significant sales incentives require the customer to purchase the Company's
products during a specified period of time. Claims are settled either by the
customer claiming a deduction against an outstanding account receivable or by
the customer requesting a check. Rebates and co-op advertising allowances
offered to customers require that product be purchased during a specified period
of time. The amount offered is generally based upon a fixed percentage of sales
revenue to the customer. Since the rebate percentage is generally fixed, the
Company records the related rebate at the time of sale.

MEMBERS' EQUITY:

In accordance with the generally accepted method of presenting limited liability
company financial statements, the accompanying financial statements do not
include other corporate assets and liabilities of the members, including their
obligation for income taxes on the net income of the limited liability company
nor any provision for income tax expense.

It is the Company's intent to distribute funds to members to cover their income
tax liabilities. No provision has been made for any material distributions which
may be made subsequent to the balance sheet date.

Subsequent to November 30, 2006, the Company paid approximately $1,660,000 of
member distributions.

The LLC operating agreement does not provide for separate classes of ownership.
Audiovox and ASA Electronics Corporation share equally in all LLC events and the
related member accounts are considered equal on a fair value basis.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers investments
in various repurchase agreements with its bank, money market accounts and highly
liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents. Cash equivalents amounted to approximately $888,000 and
$591,000 for the years ended November 30, 2006 and 2005 respectively.

The Company maintains its cash accounts in amounts which, at times, may be in
excess of insurance limits provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation.

AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES:

Available-for-sale securities consist of investments in marketable debt
securities. Debt securities consist primarily of obligations of municipalities.


                                        7



AUDIOVOX SPECIALIZED APPLICATIONS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company accounts for these investments in accordance with Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 115. Management determines the
appropriate classification of securities at the date individual investment
securities are acquired and the appropriateness of such classification is
reassessed at each balance sheet date. Since the Company neither buys investment
securities in anticipation of short-term fluctuation in market prices nor
commits to holding debt securities to their maturities, the investments in debt
and equity securities have been classified as available-for-sale in accordance
with Statement No. 115. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value,
and unrealized holding gains and losses, if any, are reported as a separate
component of members' equity.

The amount classified as current assets on the accompanying balance sheets
represents the amount of marketable debt securities expected to be sold during
the next year.

A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost that
is deemed other-than-temporary results in a reduction in carrying amount to fair
value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the
security is established. The Company considers numerous factors, on a case by
case basis, in evaluating whether the decline in market value of an
available-for-sale security below cost is other-than-temporary. Such factors
include, but are not limited to, (i) the length of time and the extent to which
the market value has been less than cost; (ii) the financial condition and the
near-term prospects of the issuer or the investment; and (iii) whether the
Company's intent to retain the investment for the period of time is sufficient
to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

TRADE RECEIVABLES:

Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made
for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a
monthly basis. Trade receivables in the accompanying balance sheets at November
30, 2006 and 2005 are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of
approximately $50,000 and $76,000 respectively. Management determines the
allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and by using
historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Trade receivables are
written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables
previously written off are recorded when received. Generally, a trade receivable
is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is
outstanding for more than 30 days.

INVENTORIES:

The Company values its inventory at the lower of the actual cost to purchase
(primarily on a weighted moving average basis) and/or the current estimated
market value of the inventory less expected costs to sell the inventory. The
Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on-hand and records a provision
for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily from selling prices,
indications from customers based upon current price negotiations and purchase
orders. The Company's industry is characterized by rapid technological change
and frequent new product introductions that could result in an increase in the
amount of obsolete inventory quantities on-hand.

DEPRECIATION:

Depreciation of leasehold improvements is computed over the lesser of the
underlying lease term or the estimated useful lives and equipment is computed
principally by the straight-line method over the following estimated useful
lives:

WARRANTIES:

The Company provides a limited warranty primarily for a period of up to three
years for its products. The Company's standard warranties require the Company,
the original equipment manufacturer or its dealers to repair or replace
defective products during such warranty periods at no cost to the consumer. The
Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its basic limited
warranty and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time product
revenue is recognized. The related expense is recorded as cost of goods sold in
the accompanying statements of income. Factors that affect the Company's
warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated
rates of warranty claims, the historical lag time between product sales and
product claims, and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the
adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as
necessary. The Company utilizes historical trends and analytical tools to assist
in determining the appropriate loss reserve levels.

Changes in the Company's warranty liability during the years ended November 30,
2006, 2005, and 2004 are as follows:

codes. Under these provisions, the members report net income of the Company on
their corporate income tax returns.

ADVERTISING COSTS:

The Company expenses the cost of advertising (including trade shows), as
incurred. Advertising costs in the accompanying statements of income were
approximately $576,000, $819,000, and $535,000, for the years ended November 30,
2006, 2005, and 2004 respectively.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS:

In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
("SFAS") No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 141 requires
that the purchase method of accounting be used for all future business
combinations and specifies criteria intangible assets acquired in a business
combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill.

SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, requires that goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but
instead be tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if an
event occurs or circumstances change that could more likely than not reduce the
fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.

As a result of adopting the provisions of SFAS No. 142, the Company did not
record amortization expense relating to its goodwill or its trademark rights.
For intangible assets with indefinite lives, including goodwill, the Company
performed its annual impairment test, which resulted in a $300,000 impairment
adjustment to goodwill during the year ended November 30, 2004 (See Note 8).
This resulted in the Company having no goodwill at November 2006 and 2005. There
was no impairment on the trademark rights for the years ended November 30, 2006,
2005 and 2004.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets, the Company reviews its long-lived assets periodically to
determine potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived
assets with the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows expected to result
from the use of the assets, including cash flows from disposition. Should the
sum of the expected future net cash flows be less that the carrying value, the
Company would recognize an impairment loss at that date. An impairment loss
would be measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds
the fair value of the long-lived assets. There was no impairments of long-lived
assets for the years ended November 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48. "Accounting for Uncertainty
in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertain
income tax positions that are recognized in the Company's financial statements
in accordance with the provisions of FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes". FIN 48 also provides guidance on the derecognition of uncertain
positions, financial statement classification, accounting for interest and
penalties, accounting for interim periods and adds new disclosure requirements.
FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact that FIN 48 will have on its
financial position and results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements". This
statement clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value and expands the disclosures on fair value measurements.
SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this statement will have on
