Acquisitions

We have recently acquired and continue to integrate the following acquisitions, discussed below, into our existing business structure:

In February 2010, the Company’s new subsidiary, Invision Automotive Systems, Inc. completed the acquisition of the assets of Invision Industries, Inc., a leading manufacturer of rear seat entertainment systems to OEM’s, ports and car dealers for a total cash purchase price of $10,307, with all acquisition costs of $219 expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC 805. The purpose of this acquisition was to increase our R&D capabilities, add a manufacturing facility to our business structure and augment our OE group.

In October 2009, Audiovox German Holdings GmbH completed the acquisition of certain assets of Schwaiger GmbH, a German market leader in the consumer electronics, SAT and receiver technologies for a total net asset payment of $4,348, with acquisition costs of $209 expensed as incurred. The purpose of this acquisition was to expand our European operations and increase our presence in the European accessory market.

Prior to Fiscal 2010, the Company expanded its market presence by acquiring and fully integrating the following businesses:

In December 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of Thomson’s U.S., Canada, Mexico, China and Hong Kong consumer electronics audio/video business, as well as the rights to the RCA brand for the audio/video field of use. Contemporaneous with this transaction, the Company entered into a license agreement with Multimedia Device Ltd., a Chinese manufacturer, to market certain product categories acquired.

In November 2007, AAC completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Technuity, Inc., an emerging leader in the battery and power products industry and the exclusive licensee of the Energizer® brand in North America for rechargeable batteries and battery packs for camcorders, cordless phones, digital cameras, DVD players and other power supply devices.

In August 2007, Audiovox Germany acquired certain assets of Incaar Limited, a U.K. business that specializes in rear seat electronics systems.

In March 2007, Audiovox Germany acquired the stock of Oehlbach, a European market leader in the accessories business.

In January 2007, we acquired certain assets and liabilities of Thomson’s Americas consumer electronics accessory business which included the rights to the RCA Accessories brand for consumer electronics accessories.

Refer to Note 2 “Business Acquisitions” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Fiscal 2010 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. This divestiture has been presented as discontinued operations. Refer to Note 3 “Discontinued Operations” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the aforementioned divestiture.

Strategy

Our objective is to grow our business by acquiring new brands, embracing new technologies, expanding product development and applying this 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 our overhead, penetrate new markets and expand existing product categories through our business channels.

The key elements of our strategy are as follows:

Capitalize on the Audiovox family of brands. We believe the "Audiovox" portfolio of brands is one of our greatest strengths and offers us significant opportunity for increased market penetration. To further benefit from the Audiovox portfolio of brands, we continue to invest and introduce new products using our brand names, in addition to seeking opportunities to license our products.

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 the mobile, consumer and accessory electronics categories.

Leverage our domestic and international 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 through our companies in Germany, Canada, Mexico and Hong Kong. We also continue to export from our domestic operations in the United States. We will pursue additional business opportunities through acquisition.

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 and 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 the majority 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 product categories in the mobile, consumer and accessory electronics markets. The mobile and consumer electronics and accessory industries are large and diverse and encompass a broad range of products. This industry offers the ability to specialize in niche product markets. The introduction of new products and technological advancements are the major growth drivers in the electronics industry. Based on this, we continue to introduce new products across all product lines, with an increased focus on niche product offerings.

Products

The Company currently reports sales data for the following two product categories:

Electronics products include:

§	mobile multi-media video products, including in-dash, overhead, headrest and portable mobile video systems,

§	autosound products including radios, speakers, amplifiers and CD changers,

§	satellite radios including plug and play models and direct connect models,

§	automotive security and remote start systems,

§	automotive power accessories,

§	rear observation and collision avoidance systems,

§	home and portable stereos,

§	digital multi-media products such as personal video recorders and MP3 products,

§	camcorders,

§	clock-radios,

§	digital voice recorders,

§	home speaker systems,

§	portable DVD players,

§	digital picture frames, and

§	e-readers.

Accessories products include:

§	High-Definition Television (“HDTV”) antennas,

§	Wireless Fidelity (“WiFi”) antennas,

§	High-Definition Multimedia Interface (“HDMI”) accessories,

§	home electronic accessories such as cabling,

§	other connectivity products,

§	power cords,

§	performance enhancing electronics,

§	TV universal remotes,

§	flat panel TV mounting systems,

§	iPod specialized products,

§	wireless headphones,

§	rechargeable battery backups (UPS) for camcorders, cordless phones and portable video (DVD) batteries and accessories,

§	power supply systems,

§	electronic equipment cleaning products, and

§	set-top boxes.

We believe our product groups have expanding market opportunities with certain levels of volatility related to domestic and international markets, new car sales, increased competition by manufacturers, private labels, technological advancements, discretionary consumer spending and general economic conditions. Also, all of our products are subject to price fluctuations which could affect the carrying value of inventories and gross margins in the future.

Net sales by product category, gross profit and net assets are as follows:

	Fiscal			Fiscal			Fiscal
	2010			2009			2008

Electronics	$	375,021		$	449,433		$	437,018
Accessories		175,674			153,666			154,337
Total net sales	$	550,695		$	603,099		$	591,355

Gross profit	$	106,751		$	100,268		$	111,328
Gross margin percentage		19.4	%		16.6	%		18.8	%

Total assets	$	488,978		$	461,296		$	533,036

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 the use of Audiovox brands on 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 20 years, whereas other agreements are in perpetuity and certain agreements may be renewed at termination of the agreement.

License and royalty income is recorded upon sale to the end-user and amounted to $4,453, $4,430 and $2,190 for the years ended February 28, 2010, February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, respectively.

Distribution and Marketing

We sell our products to:

·	power retailers,

·	mass merchants,

·	regional chain stores,

·	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, Chrysler, General Motors Corporation, Toyota, Kia, Mazda, BMW, Subaru and Porsche. These arrangements require a close partnership with the customer as we develop products to meet specific requirements. OEM products accounted for approximately 9% of net sales for the years ended February 28, 2010, February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008.

Our five largest customers represented 36% of net sales during the years ended February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, and 25% for the year ended February 29, 2008, respectively. During the year ended February 28, 2010, two customers accounted for approximately 28% of net sales and in February 28, 2009, one customer accounted for approximately 22% of the Company’s net sales. However during the year ended February 29, 2008, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales.

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

·	product design and development,

·	engineering and testing,

·	sales training and customer packaging,

·	in-store display design,

·	installation training and technical support,

·	product repair services and warranty,

·	nationwide installation network,

·	warehousing, and

·	specialized manufacturing.

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, Canada, Mexico, 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.

Utilizing our company-owned and third party facilities in the United States, Europe and Asia, 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 and Troy, Michigan facilities are ISO 14001:2004 and/or ISO/TS 16949:2002 certified, which requires the monitoring of quality standards in all facets of business.

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, Canada, Mexico, Central America, Puerto Rico, Europe and Venezuela. Our customer service group along with our Company websites, provide product information, answer questions and serve as technical hotlines for installation help for end-users and customers.

Suppliers

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

We purchase our products from manufacturers principally located in several Pacific Rim countries, including China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore, as well as the United States, Canada and Mexico. In selecting our manufacturers, we consider quality, price, service, reputation and financial stability. In order to provide coordination and supervision of supplier performance such as price negotiations, delivery and quality control, we maintain buying and inspection offices in 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 we generally purchase our products under short-term purchase orders. Although we believe t hat 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, advancement of technology and features as well as 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 Chrysler. Our Mobile Electronic products also compete in the automotive aftermarket against major companies such as Sony, Panasonic, Kenwood, Directed Electronics, Autopage, Rosen, Myron and Davis, Coby, Phillips, Insignia, and Pioneer. Our Accessories and Consumer Electronics product lines compete against major companies such as Sony, Phillips, Coby, Emer son Radio, Jasco and Belkin.

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 14 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 of televisions and other automotive sound, security and accessory products to specialized markets for specialized vehicles, such as, but not limited to, RV's, van conversions and marine vehicles. 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, 2010, we employed approximately 970 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 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.

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

Currently, we generate substantially all of our sales from the Consumer and Mobile Electronics and Accessories businesses. We cannot assure you that we can grow the revenues of our Electronics and Accessories businesses or maintain profitability. As a result, the Company's revenues and profitability will depend on our ability to maintain and generate additional customers and develop new products. A reduction in demand for our existing products and services would have a material adverse effect on our business. The sustainability of current levels of our Electronics and Accessories businesses and the future growth of such revenues, if any, will depend on, among other factors:

·	the overall performance of the economy and discretionary consumer spending,

·	competition within key markets,

·	customer acceptance of newly developed 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 and Accessories businesses in future periods.

The Electronics and Accessories Businesses are Highly Competitive and Face Significant Competition from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Direct Imports By Our Retail Customers.

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

Sales Category Dependent on Economic Success of Automotive Industry.

A portion of our OEM sales are to American automobile manufacturers, specifically Chrysler, General Motors and Ford. Some of these OEM manufacturers have entered plans to reorganize their operations as a result of general economic conditions. If they are not successful in their reorganization, it could have a material adverse effect on a portion of our OEM business.

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.

We Depend on a Small Number of Key Customers for a Large Percentage of Our Sales

The electronics industry is characterized by a number of key customers. Specifically 36%, 36% and 25% of our sales were to five customers in fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The loss of one or more of these customers could have a material adverse impact on our business.

Sales in Our Electronics and Accessories Businesses are Dependent on New Products, Product Development and Consumer Acceptance.

Our Electronics and Accessories businesses depend, to a large extent, on the introduction and availability of innovative products and technologies. 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 All 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 all 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,

·	our suppliers have sufficient financial resources to fulfill their obligations, and

·	our suppliers will be able to obtain raw materials and labor necessary for production.

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.

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 China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Malaysia 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 sell ing 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 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, consumer and accessory electronics, are affected by, among other things, prevailing economic conditions, energy costs, raw material costs, wage rates, inflation, consumer confidence and consumer perception of economic conditions. A general slowdown in the U.S. and certain international economies or an uncertain economic outlook could have a material adverse effect on our sales and operating results.

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 businesses, 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, or may record in the future, 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, 2010 was $104,615. 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. During Fiscal 2009, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $38,814 as a result of its impairment review (see Note 1(k)). Changes in our operating performance or business conditions, in general, could result in an impairment of goodwill, if applicable, 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, except our President and Chief Executive Officer. 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 suppliers’ 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, or

·	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,

·	inventory write-downs, and

·	ability to integrate acquisitions.

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 54% 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,

·	compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and

·	compliance with complex financial accounting and tax standards.

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, 2010, the Company leased a total of 26 operating facilities or offices located in 12 states as well as Germany, China, Malaysia, Canada, Venezuela, Mexico, Hong Kong and England. 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 Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, New York, Ohio, Nevada, Mississippi, Virginia, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Massachusetts. These facilities serve as offices, warehouses, distribution centers or retail locations. Additionally, we utilize public warehouse facilities located in Virginia, Nevada, Mississippi, Illinois, Indiana, Mexico, Germany and Canada.

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 sale of the Company’s cellular business. These actions were subsequently consolidated into a single derivative complaint (the "Complaint"), In re Audiovox Corporation Derivative Litigation.

This matter was settled in May 2007 and received final Chancery court approval in June 2007. As a result of the settlement, the Company received $6,750 in gross proceeds. The gross proceeds were offset by $2,378 in plaintiff legal fees and $1,023 in accrued legal and administrative costs for defending all remaining ACC legal claims. The items discussed above resulted in a pre-tax benefit of $3,349 recorded in discontinued operations for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008.

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, 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.

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, 2010.

Item 7-Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A")

This section should be read in conjunction with the “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, 2010 compared to the years ended February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008. 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 Contrac tual and Commercial Commitments”. We conclude this MD&A with a discussion of “Related Party Transactions” and “Recent Accounting Pronouncements”.

Segment

We have determined that we operate in one reportable segment, the Electronics Group, based on review of ASC 280 “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”). The characteristics of our operations that are relied on in making and reviewing business decisions include the similarities in our products, the commonality of our customers, suppliers and product developers across multiple brands, our unified marketing and distribution strategy, our centralized inventory management and logistics, 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.

Outlook

The Company’s domestic and international business is subject to retail industry conditions and the sales of new and used vehicles. The current worldwide economic condition has adversely impacted consumer spending and vehicle sales. If the global macroeconomic environment continues to be weak or deteriorates further, this could have a negative effect on the Company’s revenues and earnings. In an attempt to offset the current market condition, the Company has reduced its operating expenses and has been introducing new product to obtain a greater market share. The Company continues to focus on cash flow and anticipates having sufficient resources to operate during Fiscal 2011 and 2012.

Business Overview and Strategy

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 eleven wholly-owned subsidiaries. Audiovox has a broad portfolio of brand names used to market our products as well as private labels through a large domestic and international distribution network. We also function as an OEM (“Original Equipment Manufacturer”) supplier to several customers.

Over the last several years, we have focused on our intention to acquire synergistic businesses with the addition of seven new subsidiaries. These subsidiaries helped us to expand our core business and broaden our presence in the accessory and OEM markets. Our most recent acquisition of Invision has provided the opportunity to enter the manufacturing arena. Our intention is to continue to pursue business opportunities which will allow us to further expand our business model while leveraging overhead and exploring specialized niche markets in the electronics industry.

Although we believe our product groups have expanding market opportunities, there are certain levels of volatility related to domestic and international markets, new car sales, increased competition by manufacturers, private labels, technological advancements, discretionary consumer spending and general economic conditions. Also, all of our products are subject to price fluctuations which could affect the carrying value of inventories and gross margins in the future.

Acquisitions

We have acquired and integrated several acquisitions which are outlined in the Acquisitions section of Part I and presented in detail in Note 2.

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.

Net Sales Growth

Net sales over a five-year period have declined 2.3% from $563,653 for the year ended November 30, 2004 to $550,695 for the year ended February 28, 2010. During this period, our sales were impacted by the following items:

·	The discontinuance of various high volume/low margin product lines such as navigation, GMRS radios and flat-panel TV’s,

·	volatility in core mobile, consumer and accessories sales due to increased competition, lower selling prices and the decline in the national and global economy.

Partially offset by:

·	the introduction of new products and lines such as portable DVD players, satellite radio, digital antennas and mobile multi-media devices,

·	acquisition of Invision’s mobile entertainment business,

·	acquisition of Schwaiger’s accessory business,

·	acquisition of Thomson’s Americas consumer electronics accessory business,

·	acquisition of Oehlbach’s accessory business,

·	acquisition of Incaar’s OEM business,

·	acquisition of Technuity’s accessory business,

·	acquisition of Thomson’s audio/video business,

·	acquisition of Terk Technologies,

·	acquisition of Recoton and growth in Jensen sales.

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. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions can be subjective and complex and may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in those financial statements. 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.

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 ASC 605-50 “Customer Payments and Incentives” (“ASC 605-50”). 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 classi fied as a reduction of net sales, and the following is a summary 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 ASC 605-50, 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, 2010 and February 28, 2009 was $10,606 and $7,917, 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 years ended February 28, 2010, February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, reversals of previously established sales incentive liabilities amounted to $2,559, $4,083 and $4,108, 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 incentives for the years ended February 28, 2010, February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008 amounted to $1,369, $1,664 and $1,970, 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 years ended February 28, 2010, February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008 amounted to $1,190, $2,419 and $2,138 , 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, 2010 February 28, 2009 was $5,742 and $7,361, 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 concentrated in a relatively few number of large 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 years ended February 28, 2010, February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, we recorded inventory write-downs of $2,972, $13,818 and $4,925, 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, trademarks and customer relationships) amounted to $104,615 at February 28, 2010 and $88,524 at February 28, 2009. Goodwill and other intangible assets are determined in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”) and ASC 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”), see Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (Note 1(k)).

Goodwill, is calculated as the excess of the cost of purchased businesses over the value of their underlying net assets. The Company has used the Discounted Future Cash Flow Method (DCF) as the principle method to determine the Fair Value (“FV”) of acquired businesses. The discount rate used for our analysis was 14%. For all acquisitions, a five-year period was analyzed using a risk adjusted discount rate.

The value of potential intangible assets separate from goodwill are evaluated and assigned to the respective categories using certain methodologies (see Note 1(k)). Certain estimates and assumptions are used in applying these methodologies including projected sales, which include incremental revenue to be generated from the product markets that the Company has not been previously exposed to, disclosed future contracts and adjustments for declines in existing core sales; ongoing market demand for the relevant products; and required returns on tangible and intangible assets. In the event that actual results or market conditions deviate from these estimates and assumptions used, the future FV may be different than that determined by management and may result in an impairment loss.

The Company categorizes its intangible assets between goodwill and intangible 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, or as needed for a triggering event, we test goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment (see Note 1(k)). 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 may evaluate our recorded intangible assets with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, as necessary. All reports and conclusions are reviewed by management who have ultimate responsibility for their content. For Fiscal 2010, management determined that its intangib le assets were not impaired. The goodwill balance was fully attributable to the preliminary allocation of the purchase price of Invision and as such not deemed to be repaired. For Fiscal 2009, the Company recorded impairment charges of $28,838 and $9,976 for goodwill and other intangible assets, respectively.

Determining whether impairment of indefinite lived intangibles has occurred requires an analysis of each identifiable asset. If estimates used in the valuation of each identifiable asset proved to be inaccurate based on future results, there could be additional impairment charges in subsequent periods.

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 $7,853 and $7,779 at February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, 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 on our operating results.

Stock-Based Compensation

As discussed further in “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 1(t) Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” we adopted ASC 718, (formerly FAS 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 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 current and prior periods, the stock-based compensation expense of $1,138 that was recorded for the year ended February 28, 2010 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 the guidance issued under Statement ASC 740, "Income Taxes" with consideration for uncertain tax positions. 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. During Fiscal 2009, the Company provided a valuation allowance against substantially all of its deferred tax assets. During Fiscal 2010, the Company recorded an income tax benefit through a reduction of its valuation allowance of $10.1 million in connection with its ability to carryback certain net operating losses as a result of new l egislation enacted during Fiscal 2010. Any further decline in the valuation allowance could have a favorable impact on our income tax provision and net income in the period in which such determination is made.

Since March 1, 2007, the Company accounted for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the authoritative guidance issued under ASC 740, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on tax returns should be recorded in the financial statements. The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company provides loss contingencies for federal, state and inte rnational 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, which if different, may materially impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company classifies interest and penalties associated with income taxes as a component of income tax expense (benefit) on the consolidated statement of operations.

Year Ended February 28, 2010 Compared to the Years Ended February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008

Continuing Operations

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain Statement of Operations data for the years ended February 28, 2010 (“Fiscal 2010”), February 28, 2009 (“Fiscal 2009”) and February 29, 2008 (“Fiscal 2008”).

Net Sales

	Fiscal		Fiscal		Fiscal
	2010		2009		2008

Electronics	$	375,021	$	449,433	$	437,018

Total net sales	$	550,695	$	603,099	$	591,355

Fiscal 2010

Electronics sales, which include both mobile and consumer electronics declined $74,412 in Fiscal 2010. The Company had anticipated the decline based on economic conditions and adjusted its inventory positions accordingly. In Fiscal 2009, the Company announced its decision to exit various high volume/low profit product categories including flat-panel TV’s, portable navigation, GMRS and certain digital picture frames. In Fiscal 2010, only residual inventories were sold. The Company chose not to participate in a number of seasonal promotions in both the digital and portable DVD categories due to insufficient margins. We partially offset these declines through increased satellite sales as a result of a new agreement with Sirius/XM and the introduction of our Flo-TV product line.

Accessories sales increased $22,008 due to the Schwaiger acquisition and the introduction of new products and new customers. These increases were partially offset by lower digital antennae sales caused by high load-ins in Fiscal 2009.

Fiscal 2009

Electronics sales increased in Fiscal 2009 as compared to Fiscal 2008 primarily as a result of higher sales of consumer electronics products, particularly new product categories under the RCA brand, increases in the Company’s OEM business and, in its International operations in Venezuela and Mexico as compared to the prior year. Offsetting this increase were lower sales of mobile electronics products as a result of the local economic downturn, lower car sales and the financial difficulties of the automakers, which intensified in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2009.

Accessories sales for Fiscal 2009 were down primarily due to the overall economic environment.

Sales incentive expenses were $27,070, $19,794 and $24,651 for Fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, which included reversals for unclaimed and unearned sales incentives of $2,559, $4,083 and $4,108, respectively. We believe the reversal of unearned and earned but unclaimed sales incentives upon the expiration of the claim period is a disciplined, rational, consistent and systematic method of reversing unearned and earned but 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			Fiscal			Fiscal
	2010			2009			2008

Gross profit	$	106,751		$	100,268		$	111,328
Gross margin percentage		19.4	%		16.6	%		18.8	%

Fiscal 2010

Gross margins for Fiscal 2010 increased 280 basis points due to the introduction of new products, the Company’s Schwaiger acquisition, improvement in inventory provisions related to obsolescence, and the absence of inventory write-downs associated with the exit of our portable navigation category during Fiscal 2009. As a result of our cost-containment efforts, we have lowered our inventory handling costs.

Fiscal 2009

Gross profit and gross profit margins were positively impacted by price increases instituted in the second half of Fiscal 2009 as well as higher gross margins in certain consumer electronics lines. However, these increases were negatively impacted by additional charges to cost of goods sold due to inventory mark downs of i) approximately $2,900 associated with the exit of the portable navigation category in the second quarter of Fiscal 2009 and ii) a charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 of approximately $2,400 related to a mark down of a product category as a result of changes in the market, general economic conditions and the impact of customer bankruptcies. Additionally, $1,500 was related to the support of product sales to a certain customer.

Operating Expenses and Operating Income / (Loss)

Operating income (loss)	$	3,760	$	(53,443	)	$	4,422

Fiscal 2010

Operating expenses decreased $50,720 in Fiscal 2010 as compared to Fiscal 2009. The decrease in total operating expenses for the comparable periods was primarily due to the absence of the goodwill and intangible asset charge of $38,814 in Fiscal 2009. Further decreases were realized through the overhead reduction program and cost containment efforts the Company instituted in the second half of Fiscal 2009, which included a one time charge of approximately $1 million related to these efforts. These programs addressed cost containment in all areas of the Company. Overall employee headcount was reduced by approximately 18% prior to the Schwaiger and Invision acquisitions. Additional savings were realized in the majority of the Company’s expense categories including advertising, occupancy, employee benefits, professional fees and travel and entertainment. Bad debt expense decreased for the comparable periods as a result of lower provisions recorded due to reversals associated with improved customer positions. Expenses for Fiscal 2010 were impacted by approximately $5,640 by the incremental costs associated with the issuance of stock options and warrants and the acquisition of the Schwaiger and Invision operations during the second half of the year. In the fourth quarter, the Company returned the 10% temporary salary reduction to all employees below the level of vice president. Executive management elected not to participate. The Company continues to review and analyze its overhead in relationship to its revenue. If necessary, further revisions to our overhead structure will be implemented.

Fiscal 2009

Operating expenses increased $46,805 in Fiscal 2009 as compared to Fiscal 2008 primarily due to the goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge of $38,814; an increase in professional fees of $4,600 associated with legal settlements, patent and royalty suits, increased audit fees and the anticipated cost of a credit card breach; incremental salary expenses of approximately $4,100 as a result of acquisitions and severance payments and a benefit in the prior year for an employee call option; bad debt expenses as a result of general economic conditions and the bankruptcy of an automotive customer; and incremental depreciation and amortization of $1,500 due to acquisitions and new IT systems. Partially offsetting these increases were reductions in executive compensation, insurance and the absence of transitional services as sociated with the prior year’s acquisitions which were fully integrated.

Other Income/(Expense)

	Fiscal			Fiscal			Fiscal
	2010			2009			2008

Interest and bank charges	$	(1,556	)	$	(1,817	)	$	(2,127	)
Equity in income of equity investees		1,657			975			3,590
Other, net		7,294			(1,669	)		4,709
Total other income	$	7,395		$	(2,511	)	$	6,172

Fiscal 2010

Other income increased $9,906 primarily as a result of a $5,400 gain from the Company’s Schwaiger acquisition, and the absence of charges associated with a vendor bankruptcy in the prior year, and a gain recorded on a foreign exchange contract, partially offset by an other-than-temporary impairment on an equity investment of the Company.

Interest and bank charges decreased due to the reduction of debt in our international subsidiaries.

Equity in income of equity investees increased due to increased equity income of Audiovox Specialized Applications, Inc. (ASA) as a result of cost containment efforts and improved sales.

Fiscal 2009

Other income decreased due to a decline in interest income as a result of a decline in our short-term investment holdings as a result of the prior year’s acquisitions, seasonality of current working capital requirements, a decline in rates experienced on the Company’s investments and the gains on the sale of a portion of our marketable equity securities during Fiscal 2008.

Other expenses increased approximately $6,400 primarily as a result of a charge resulting from the bankruptcy of a vendor and the discount experienced on the sale of tax credits in our Venezuelan subsidiary.

Interest and bank charges decreased due to the reduction of debt in our international subsidiaries.

Equity in income of equity investees decreased due to decreased equity income of Audiovox Specialized Applications, Inc. (ASA) as a result of decreased sales and gross margins related to the commercial, RV and marine industries due to the current economic conditions.

Income Tax Provision

The effective tax rate in Fiscal 2010 was an income tax benefit of (101.5)% on a pre-tax income from continuing operations of $11,155 as compared to a provision of 27.0% on a pre-tax loss of ($55,954) from continuing operations in the prior year. The decrease in the effective tax rate is due to the Company’s ability to record an income tax benefit through a reduction of its valuation allowance of $10.1 million in connection with the carryback of certain net operating losses as a result of new legislation enacted in Fiscal 2010 and the recognition of $4.6 million of uncertain tax positions as the result of the expiration of various statute of limitations.

The effective tax rate in Fiscal 2009 was a provision of 27.0% on a pre-tax loss from continuing operations of ($55,954) as compared to a provision of 36.3% on a pre-tax income of $10,595 from continuing operations in the prior year. The increase in the effective tax rate is due to impairment of non-deductible goodwill and the provision of a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets as the Company does not believe that it will realize its deferred tax assets on a more-likely-than-not basis.

Net Income

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, selected statement of operations data beginning with operating income (loss) from continuing operations to reported net income (loss) and basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share :

	Fiscal		Fiscal			Fiscal

Basic	$	0.98	$	(3.11	)	$	0.37
Diluted	$	0.98	$	(3.11	)	$	0.37

In Fiscal 2010, net income was favorably impacted by the bargain purchase gain of $5,400 related to the Company’s acquisition of Schwaiger and the net tax benefits of approximately $11,200 as a result of an income tax refund of approximately $10,000 and reversal of uncertain tax positions. During Fiscal 2009, the Company was impacted by several non-standard charges related to the economy, market conditions, customers and other events as outlined in the Annual Report for Fiscal 2009. Net income (loss) was also favorably impacted by sales incentive reversals of $2,559 ($0 after taxes), $4,083 ($0 after taxes) and $4,108 ($2,506 after taxes) in Fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respecti vely.

During Fiscal 2008, the Company recorded pre-tax income of $3,248 ($1,719 after taxes) recorded in discontinued operations related to the settlement of a lawsuit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows, Commitments and Obligations

As of February 28, 2010, we had working capital of $239,787 which includes cash and cash equivalents of $69,511 compared with working capital of $241,080 at February 28, 2009, which included cash and cash equivalents of $69,504. During the fiscal year, the Company acquired two businesses with cash payments of approximately $14,657. This was offset by a tax refund receive during the year related to the Worker Homeownership and Business Assistance Act of 2009 and the net reduction from accounts receivable and inventory movements. We plan to utilize our current cash position as well as collections from accounts receivable, the cash generated from our operations and the income on our investments to fund the current operations of the business. However, we may utilize all or a portion of current capital resources to pursue other business opportunities, including acquisitions. The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for all periods presented:

	Year			Year			Year
	Ended			Ended			Ended
	February 28,			February 28,			February 29,
	2010			2009			2008

Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	28,222		$	30,006		$	(64,691	)

Financing activities		(1,222	)		4,655			(5,241	)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash		(1,984	)		(507	)		335
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	7		$	30,163		$	23,868

Operating activities provided cash of $28,222 for Fiscal 2010 from: i) net income generated from continuing operations of $22,483, net of non-cash charges for a gain on a bargain purchase of $5,447, depreciation and amortization of $7,694, and deferred income tax expense of $1,594; ii) decreased inventory due to improved inventory turns; and iii) increased accounts payable and accrued expenses due to the timing and payment of invoices and expenses.

Investing activities used cash of $25,009 during Fiscal 2010, primarily due to the purchase of Schwaiger and Invision, capital expenditures, and a bond investment partially offset by distributions from an equity investee.

Financing activities used cash of $1,222 during Fiscal 2010, primarily from the repayment of bank obligations.

As of February 28, 2010, we had a domestic credit line to fund the temporary short-term working capital needs of the Company. This line expired on March 31, 2010 and allowed aggregate borrowings of up to $10,000 at an interest rate of Prime (or similar designations) plus 1% or LIBOR plus 5%. The line was not renewed and replaced by a $15,000 three-year facility at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.5%. In addition, Audiovox Germany has accounts receivable factoring arrangements totaling 23,000 Euro, a 5,000 Euro Asset-Based Lending (“ABL”) credit facility and a 2,000 credit line.

Certain contractual cash obligations and other commercial commitments will impact our short and long-term liquidity. At February 28, 2010, such obligations and commitments are as follows:

	Payments Due by Period
			Less than			1-3		4-5	After
Contractual Cash Obligations	Total		1 Year		Years		Years		5 Years

(1)	Represents total payments (interest and principal) due under a capital lease obligation which has a current (included in other current liabilities) and long term principal balance of $82 and $5,449, respectively at February 28, 2010.

(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, 2010 and a short-term loan related to the purchase of Invision.

(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 term loan agreements in connection with the Oehlbach and Invision acquisitions. This amount also includes amounts due under a call-put option with certain employees of Audiovox Germany.

(6)	Represents contingent payments in connection with the Thomson Accessory and Oehlbach acquisitions (see Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements).

(7)	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 fund s 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, Canada, 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. The Company also has exposure related to transactions in which the currency collected from customers is different from the currency utilized to purchase the product sold in its foreign operations. In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010, our German subsidiary entered into certain forward contracts to hedge the currency exposure for its U.S. dollar denominate d assets, liabilities and future commitments. The Company minimized the risk of nonperformance on the forward contract by transacting with a major financial institution in the European market. The gains or losses associated with these foreign exchange contracts are evaluated and recorded, as applicable, on the measurement date as the contracts are not specifically connected to any assets, liabilities or future commitments. As of February 28, 2010, the notional amount of foreign exchange contracts was $14,000. A transaction gain of $753 was recorded during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010.

On Friday, January 8, 2010, the Venezuelan government announced its intention to devalue its currency (Bolivar fuerte) and move to a two tier exchange structure, 2.60 for essential goods and 4.30 for non-essential goods and services. Although products sold by our Venezuelan operation are expected to be classified as non-essential, the Company has certain US dollar denominated assets and liabilities for which the 2.60 rate has been applied. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010, the Company recorded approximately a $3 loss through other comprehensive income associated with the devaluation.

Effective January 1, 2010, according to the guidelines in ASC 830, Venezuela has been designated as a hyper-inflationary economy. A hyper-inflationary economy designation occurs when a country has experienced cumulative inflation of approximately 100 percent or more over a 3 year period. The hyper-inflationary designation requires the local subsidiary in Venezuela to record all transactions as if they were denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company will transition to hyper-inflationary accounting on March 1, 2010.

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, 2015 are $6,569.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We are required to adopt certain new accounting pronouncements. See Note 1(w) to our consolidated financial statements of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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, 2010, which are recorded at fair value of $5,679, include an unrealized loss of $3,541 and have exposure to price fluctuations. 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 $668 as of February 28, 2010. Actual results may differ. As of February 28, 2010, the Company recorded a $1,000 impairment charge on its equity holding in Bliss-tel (see Note 1(f)).

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 income (loss). At February 28, 2010, we had translation exposure to various foreign currencies with the most significant being the Euro, Thailand Baht, Malaysian Ringgit, Hong Kong Dollar, Mexican Peso, Venezuelan Bolivar and Canadian Dollar. The potential loss resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in quoted foreign currency exchange rates, as of February 28, 2010 amounts to $2,856. Actual results may differ.

Not Applicable

Item 9A-Controls and Procedures

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.

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, 2010 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, 2010 excluding the controls associated with its most recent acquisitions at Schwaiger and Invision. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of February 28, 2010 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.

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2010, 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 the effectiveness 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 Audiovox Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries’ (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). 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, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. Our audit of, and opinion on, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not include internal control over financial reporting of Schwaiger GmbH (“Schwaiger”) and Invision Automobile Systems, Inc. (“Invision”), wholly owned subsidiaries, whose financial statements in the aggregate reflect total assets and revenues constituting 9 and 3 percent, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended February 28, 2010. As indicated in Management’s Report, Schwaiger and Invision were acquired during the year ended February 28, 2010 and therefore, management’s assertion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting excluded internal control over financial reporting of Schwaiger and Invision.

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, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, 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 autho rizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) 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. 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, Audiovox Corporation and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

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, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 28, 2010, and our report dated May 14, 2010 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, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 28, 2010. Our audits of the basic financial statements included the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 28, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 1(w) to the consolidated financial statements, effective March 1, 2009, the Company changed its method of accounting for business combinations.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Audiovox Corporation and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated May 14, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

February 28, 2010

(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

The Company completed the divestiture of Audiovox Malaysia on November 7, 2005. Unless specifically indicated otherwise, all amounts and percentages presented in the notes below are exclusive of discontinued operations.

The Company’s current fiscal year began March 1, 2009 and ended on February 28, 2010. This annual report on Form 10-K compares the financial position as of February 28, 2010 to February 28, 2009 and the results of operations for the years ended February 28, 2010, February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008.

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 subsidiaries. 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 are included in other income in the accompanying 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 these financial statements require 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, reserve for uncertain tax positions, valuation of long-lived assets, accrued sales incentives, warranty reserves, stock-based compensation, impairment assessment of investment securities, goodwill and trademarks, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

d) Cash and Cash Equivalents

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 and cash equivalents amounted to $69,511 and $69,504 at February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, respectively. Cash amounts held in foreign bank accounts amounted to $7,089 and $8,922 at February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, respectively. The majority of these amounts are in excess of government insurance. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in institutions and funds of high credit quality. We perform periodic evaluations of these institutions and funds.

e) Fair Value Measurements

The Company adopted authoritative guidance on “Fair Value Measurements”, as of March 1, 2008, which, among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about investments that are measured and reported at fair value. This guidance establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

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

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

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

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

The following table presents assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at February 28, 2010:

February 28, 2010

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

The carrying amount of the Company's accounts receivable, short-term debt, accounts payable, accrued expenses, bank obligations and long-term debt approximates fair value because of (i) the short-term nature of the financial instrument; (ii) the interest rate on the financial instrument being reset every quarter to reflect current market rates; (iii) the stated or implicit interest rate approximates the current market rates or are not materially different than market rates and (iv) are based on quoted prices in active markets.

f) Investment Securities

In accordance with the Company's investment policy, all long and short-term investment securities are invested in "investment grade" rated securities. As of February 28, 2010, the Company had the following investments:

	February 28, 2010							February 28, 2009

(a) The foreign currency contract is recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company’s balance sheet.

Short-Term Investments

Short-term investments include an investment in forward exchange contracts. In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010, our German subsidiary entered into certain forward contracts to hedge the currency exposure for its U.S. dollar denominated assets, liabilities and future commitments. The Company minimized the risk of nonperformance on the forward contract by transacting with a major financial institution in the European market. The gains or losses associated with these foreign exchange contracts are evaluated and recorded, as applicable, on the measurement date as the contracts are not specifically connected to any assets, liabilities or future commitments. As of February 28, 2010, the notional amount of foreign exchange contracts was $14,000. A transaction gain of $753 was recorded during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010.

Long-Term Investment Components

Trading Securities

The Company’s trading securities consist of mutual funds, which are held in connection with the Company’s deferred compensation plan (see Note 10). Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities offset those associated with the corresponding deferred compensation liability.

Available-For-Sale Securities

The Company’s available-for-sale marketable securities include a less than 20% equity ownership in CLST Holdings, Inc. (“Cellstar”) and Bliss-tel Public Company Limited (“Bliss-tel”), and taxable auction rate notes which have long-term maturity dates (October 2038).

Audiovox Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

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

Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect (if applicable), on available-for-sale securities are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific identification basis.

The fair value of the Cellstar and Bliss-tel investments are determined by quoted prices in active markets as they are publicly traded. The auction rate security is collateralized by student loan portfolios, which are guaranteed by the United States government. Based on the impact of the current economy on the U.S. credit markets, the Company relies on various valuation techniques for its auction rate security classified as Level 3 inputs. These analyses consider, among other items, the underlying collateral, the credit worthiness of the issuer, the timing of expected future cash flows, and when a successful auction can be expected. Whenever possible, the securities will be compared to other observable and relevant market data.

On December 13, 2004, one of the Company's former equity investments, Bliss-tel Public Company Limited ("Bliss-tel"), issued 575,000,000 shares on the SET (Security Exchange of Thailand) for an offering price of 2.48 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 75,000,000 shares (or approximately 13%) of Bliss-tel's outstanding stock. In addition, on July 21, 2005, the Company received 22,500,000 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.

During the year ended February 29, 2008, the Company sold 32,898,500 shares of Bliss-tel stock resulting in a gain of $1,533, which is included in other income (loss) on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. During Fiscal 2010, Bliss-tel concluded a 4:1 reverse stock split. Accordingly, all share data has been retroactively restated. As of February 28, 2010 the Company owns 36,250,000 shares and 22,500,000 warrants in Bliss-tel with an aggregate fair value of $250.

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 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. As a result of its review, the Company determined that its investment in Bliss-tel was other-than-temporarily impaired based on its market price (which has been below our cost in excess of twelve months), Bliss-tel’s recent losses, its deteriorating financial position, and conditions in the local and global economy, as well as the political environment in Thailand. This impairment relates to the approximate value of the warrants which the Company will not exercise. Furthermore, the Company does not believe that it would realize its initial investment in these warrants, via conversion or sale in the open market, within a reasonable amount of time. The Company continues to consider management’s business plan to improve its financial and commercial position which includes the repayment of Bliss-tel’s debt by selling real estate assets, raising additional capital and plans to grow their business. There is no assurance that its plans will be successful, therefore, we will continue to eval uate the circumstances impacting this investment throughout the fiscal year ending February 28, 2011.

Held-to-Maturity Investment

The Company holds a dollar-denominated Venezuelan bond issued by the Venezuelan government which matures in 2015 in the amount of $7,110. This security is classified as held-to-maturity and with the exception of an adjustment of approximately $340 associated with the country’s recent currency devaluation, the security is accounted for under the cost method.

Other Long-Term Investments

Other long-term investments include an investment in a non-controlled corporation of $1,803 accounted for by the cost method.

g) 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 product returns from the Company's customers. The Company does accept product returns, if properly requested, authorized, and approved by the Company. The Company records an estimate of product returns by its customers and records the provision for the e stimated amount of such future returns at point of sale, based on historical experience and any notification 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.

h) 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 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,		February 28,
	2010		2009

Trade accounts receivable and other	$	137,793	$	112,456
Less:
Allowance for doubtful accounts		5,742		7,361
Allowance for cash discounts		785		199
	$	131,266	$	104,896

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 fina ncial position of any one of these customers could have a material adverse impact on the collectability of the Company's accounts receivable and future operating results.

i) Inventory

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. The Company recorded inventory write-downs of $2,972, $13,818 and $4,925 for the years ended February 28, 2010, February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, respect ively.

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

Inventories by major category are as follows:

	February 28,		February 28,
	2010		2009

Raw materials	$	4,428	$	-
Work in process		300		-
Finished goods		97,989		125,301
Inventory, net	$	102,717	$	125,301

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 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.

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, are as follows:

	February 28,		February 28,
	2010		2009

Land	$	338	$	338
Buildings		6,749		6,749
Property under capital lease		6,981		6,981
Furniture, fixtures and displays		3,741		3,496
Machinery and equipment		8,637		6,791
Construction-in-progress		-		57
Computer hardware and software		26,884		22,373
Automobiles		752		661
Leasehold improvements		6,299		5,997
		60,381		53,443
Less accumulated depreciation and amortization		38,236		33,540
	$	22,145	$	19,903

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 leases are amortized over the term of the respective 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 $5,713, $5,653 and $4,609 for the years ended February 28, 2010, February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, respectively. Included in depreciation and amortization expense is amortization of computer software costs of $1,015, $1,127 and $812 for the years ended February 28, 2010, February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, respectively. Also included in depreciation expense is $251 of depreciation related to property under a capital lease for the years ended February 28, 2010, February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008.

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, trademarks/tradenames and customer relationships). Values assigned to the respective assets are determined in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”) and Statement of ASC 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”).

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the cost of purchased businesses over the value of their underlying net assets. Generally, the primary valuation method used to determine the Fair Value (“FV”) of acquired businesses is the Discounted Future Cash Flow Method (“DCF”). A five-year period is analyzed using a risk adjusted discount rate.

The value of potential intangible assets separate from goodwill are evaluated and assigned to the respective categories. The largest categories from recent acquired businesses are Trademarks and Customer Relationships. The FV’s of trademarks acquired are determined using the Relief from Royalty Method based on projected sales of the trademarked products. The FV’s of customer relationships are determined using the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method which includes a DCF analysis, adjusted for a required return on tangible and intangible assets. The guidance in ASC 350, including management’s business intent for its use; ongoing market demand for products relevant to the category and their ability to generate future cash flows; legal, regulatory or contractual provisions on its use or subsequent r enewal, as applicable; and the cost to maintain or renew the rights to the assets; are considered in determining the useful life of all intangible assets. If the Company determines that there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors which limit the useful life of the asset, an indefinite life will be assigned and evaluated for impairment as indicated below. 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.

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are required to 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. Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are required to be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment.

The Company’s goodwill balance at February 28, 2010 consisted solely of preliminary goodwill associated with its recent acquisition of Invision for which the Company is in the process of completing its purchase price allocation. As such, the goodwill was not tested for impairment. For intangible assets not associated with goodwill, primarily trademarks, the Company compared the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. To compute the fair value, various considerations were evaluated including current sales associated with these brands, management’s expectations for future sales, performance of the business group and proximity to acquisition date fair values. At the present time, management intends to continue the development, marketing and selling of products associated with its int angible assets and there are no known restrictions on the continuation of their use.

The cost of other intangible assets with definite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective lives. Management has determined that the current lives of these assets are appropriate. Intangible assets with indefinite lives were not deemed to be impaired at February 28, 2010. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $38.8 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2009, $28.8 million related to goodwill and resulted in the entire balance being written off. The expected future cash flows related to intangible assets with definite lives exceeded their carrying values and as such, were not impaired. The cost of other intangible assets with definite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective lives. Management has determined that the current lives of these asse ts are appropriate. Intangible assets with indefinite lives were deemed to be impaired. As a result, an impairment of $9,976 was recorded. All impairment charges were reflected in pre-tax operating income on the Company’s financial statements.

During the year ended February 28, 2010, the Company recorded $339 of patents subject to amortization and $6,556 and $3,770 to indefinite life and amortizing intangibles, respectively in connection with the final purchase price allocation for its Schwaiger and Invision acquisitions. The weighted-average remaining amortization period for customer relationships as of February 28, 2010 is approximately 12 years.

Amortization expense for intangible assets amounted to $1,946, $1,626 and $1,141 for the years ended February 28, 2010, February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, respectively. The estimated aggregate amortization expense for all amortizable intangibles for each of the succeeding years ending February 28, 2015 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 ASC 605-50 “Customer Payments and Incentives” (“ASC 605-50”). 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 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 associa ted with sales incentives are classified as a reduction of net sales. The following is a summary of the various sales incentive programs:

Audiovox Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

February 28, 2010

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

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.

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. The Company accrues the cost of co-operative advertising allowances, volume incentive re bates and market development funds at the later of when the customer purchases our products or when the sales incentive is offered to the customer.

Other trade allowances are additional sales incentives that the Company provides to customers subsequent to the related revenue being recognized. 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, 2010 and February 28, 2009 was $10,606 and $7,917, 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 years ended February 28, 2010, February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, reversals of previously established sales incentive liabilities amounted to $2,559, $4,083 and $4,108, 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 years ended February 28, 2010, February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008 amounted to $1,369, $1,664 and $1,970, respectively. Unclaimed sales incentives are sales incentives earned by the customer but t he customer has not claimed payment from the Company within the claim period (period after program has ended). Unclaimed sales incentives for the years ended February 28, 2010, February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008 amounted to $1,190, $2,419 and $2,138, 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 accrued sales incentives is provided below:

	Year			Year			Year
	Ended			Ended			Ended
	February 28,			February 28,			February 29,
	2010			2009			2008

Opening balance	$	7,917		$	10,768		$	7,410
Accruals		29,654			23,877			29,084
Payments		(24,406	)		(22,645	)		(21,618	)
Reversals for unearned incentives		(1,369	)		(1,664	)		(1,970	)
Reversals for unclaimed incentives		(1,190	)		(2,419	)		(2,138	)
Ending balance	$	10,606		$	7,917		$	10,768

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

m) Advertising

Excluding co-operative advertising, the Company expensed the cost of advertising, as incurred, of $5,420, $6,523 and $5,854 for the years ended February 28, 2010, February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, 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 product returns 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 $7,853 and $7,779 is recorded in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, 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 s uch defective inventory. The reserve for product repair costs of $5,205 and $6,631 is recorded as a reduction to inventory in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, respectively. Warranty claims and product repair costs expense for the years ended February 28, 2010, February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008 were $12,931, $12,187 and $9,401, respectively.

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

	Year			Year			Year
	Ended			Ended			Ended
	February 28,			February 28,			February 29,
	2010			2009			2008

Ending balance	$	13,058		$	14,410		$	17,319

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 ASC 830, "Foreign Currency Matters" (“ASC 830”). 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). For the years ended February 28, 2010, February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, the Company recorded foreign currency transaction losses (gains) in the amount of $1,362, $60 and $(218), respectively.

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 basis 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 (see Note 8). 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.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company adopted guidance included in ASC 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”) as it relates to uncertain tax positions. The guidance addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements.

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.

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.

A reconciliation between the denominators of the basic and diluted income (loss) per common share are as follows:

	Year		Year		Year
	Ended		Ended		Ended
	February 28,		February 28,		February 29,
	2010		2009		2008


Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (basic)		22,875,651		22,860,402		22,853,482
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock options and stock warrants		44,014		-		22,680
Weighted-average number of common and potential common shares outstanding (diluted)		22,919,665		22,860,402		22,876,162

Stock options and stock warrants totaling 1,221,200, 1,544,225 and 1,336,787 for the years ended February 28, 2010, February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, respectively, were not included in the net income (loss) per common share calculation because the exercise price of these options and warrants were greater than the average market price of common stock during the period or these options and warrants were anti-dilutive due to losses during the respective periods.

r) Other Income (Loss)

Other income (loss) is comprised of the following:

	Year			Year			Year
	Ended			Ended			Ended
	February 28,			February 28,			February 29,
	2010			2009			2008

Other		6,767			(3,467	)		(454	)
Total other, net	$	7,294		$	(1,669	)	$	4,709

Other income (loss) includes a gain of $5,400 net of deferred taxes from the Company’s acquisition of its Schwaiger operation for the year ended February 28, 2010.

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 ASC 350 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 stock option 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 issu ed from authorized Class A Common Stock. As of February 28, 2010, 1,533,428 shares were available for future grants under the terms of these plans.

Options are measured at the fair value of the award at the date of grant and are recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. Compensation expense related to stock-based awards with vesting terms are amortized using the straight-line attribution method.

The Company granted 861,250 options in September of 2009, one-half vested on November 30, 2009 and one-half will vest on November 30, 2010, expire three years from date of vesting (November 30, 2012 and November 30, 2013, respectively), have an exercise price equal to $6.37 (the sales price of the Company’s stock on the day prior to the date of grant) have a contractual term between 3.2 and 4.2 years and a grant date fair value of $2.69 per share determined based upon a Black-Sholes valuation model (refer to the table below for assumptions used to determine fair value).

In addition, the Company issued 17,500 warrants in September of 2009 to purchase the Company’s common stock with the same terms as those above as consideration for future legal services. Accordingly, the Company recorded additional legal expense in the amount of approximately $22 for the year ended February 28, 2010, representing the fair value of the warrants issued. These warrants are included in the outstanding options and warrant table below and considered exercisable at February 28, 2009.

The Company granted 20,000 options during July 2009, which vested one-half on August 31, 2009 and one half on November 30, 2009, expire two years from date of vesting (August 31, 2011 and November 30, 2011, respectively), have an exercise price of $7.48 equal to the sales price of the Company’s stock on the day prior to the date of the grant, have a contractual life of 2.2 years and a grant date fair value of $2.94 per share.

In addition, the Company issued 17,500 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $10.90 per share as consideration for past legal services rendered. The warrants are exercisable immediately, expire three years from date of issuance and have a fair value on issuance date of $3.26 per warrant determined based upon a Black-Sholes valuation model (refer to the table below for assumptions used to determine fair value). Accordingly, the Company recorded additional legal expense in the amount of approximately $57 during the year ended February 29, 2008, representing the fair value of the warrants issued. These warrants are included in the outstanding options and warrant table below and considered exercisable at February 28, 2009.

The Company granted 197,250 options during October of 2008, which vested one-half on November 30, 2008 and one-half on February 28, 2009, expire two years from date of vesting (November 30, 2010 and February 28, 2011, respectively), have an exercise price equal to $4.83, the sales price of the Company’s stock on the day prior to the date of grant, have a contractual term between 2.1 and 2.4 years and a grant date fair value of $1.44 per share determined based upon a Black-Sholes valuation model (refer to the table below for assumptions used to determine fair value).

In addition, the Company issued 17,500 warrants during October of 2008 to purchase the Company’s common stock with the same terms as those above as consideration for future legal services. Accordingly, the Company recorded additional legal expense in the amount of approximately $26 for the year ended February 28, 2009, representing the fair value of the warrants issued. These warrants are included in the outstanding options and warrant table below and considered exercisable at February 28, 2009.

The Company granted 257,500 stock options during August 2007, which vest one-third on August 31, 2007, one-third on November 30, 2007, and one-third on February 29, 2008, expire three years from date of vesting (August 31, 2010, November 30, 2010, and February 28, 2011, respectively), have an exercise price equal to $1.00 above the lowest sales price of the Company’s stock on the day prior to the date of grant ($10.90), have a contractual term between 2 years and 3.7 years and a grant date fair value of $3.26 per share determined based upon a Black-Sholes valuation model (refer to the table below for assumptions used to determine fair value).

The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during the years ended February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009 was $2.48 and $1.44, respectively on the date of grant.

The fair value of stock options and warrants on the date of grant, and the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the stock options and warrants using the Black-Sholes option valuation model granted during the year was as follows:

	Year			Year			Year
	Ended			Ended			Ended
	February 28,			February 28,			February 29,
	2010			2009			2008

Dividend yield		0	%		0	%		0	%

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

The expected dividend yield is based on historical and projected dividend yields. The Company estimates expected volatility based primarily on historical price changes of the Company’s stock equal to the expected life of the option. During Fiscal 2010, the Company changed from daily stock prices to monthly stock prices as the Company’s stock experiences low-volume trading. We believe that daily fluctuations are distortive to the volatility and as such will continue to use monthly inputs in the future. 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 (before deferred income tax benefits) for awards granted under the Company’s stock option plans in the following line items in the consolidated statement of operations for the years ended February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009:

	Year Ended		Year Ended		Year Ended
	February 28,		February 28,		February 29,
	2010		2009		2008

Cost of sales	$	17	$	7	$	16
Selling expense		165		63		192
General and administrative expenses		951		234		662
Engineering and technical support		5		5		16
Stock-based compensation expense before income tax benefits	$	1,138	$	309	$	886

Net income from continuing operations and net income was impacted by $1,138 (after tax), $309 (after tax) and $506 (after tax) in stock based compensation expense or $0.05, $0.01 and $0.02 per diluted share for the years ended February 28, 2010, February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, respectively. No tax benefit was recorded in fiscal 2010 due to the Company’s loss position.

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

				Weighted-

This amount changes based on the fair market value of the company’s stock. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the years ended February 28, 2010, February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008 were $45, $52 and $3,149, respectively

u) Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation (losses) gains of ($685) and ($7,486), and unrealized gains (losses) on investment securities classified as available-for-sale of $732 and ($4,686) at February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, respectively.

During the years ended February 28, 2010 and February 29, 2008, ($1,000) and $1,876 of unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale investment securities were transferred into earnings. The Fiscal 2010 charge was as a result of declines deemed other-than-temporary while the gain in Fiscal 2008 was the result of the disposition of the investment. 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) Other Current Assets

As of February 28, 2010, other current assets included $5.4 million of accounts receivable covered by a put option by an investment bank.

w) New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (“ASC”) as the single source of authoritative US GAAP, organized by topic, and creates a new referencing system to identify authoritative guidance such that references to SFAS, EITF, etc. will no longer be valid. The Codification does not create any new GAAP standards. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and releases will remain as sources of authoritative US GAAP for SEC registrants. The standard was effective for the Company ’s third quarter of Fiscal 2010 and did not impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company has revised all references to pre-Codification GAAP in its financial statements.

Effective March 1, 2009, we adopted authoritative guidance under ASC 805 regarding business combinations. The guidance retains the fundamental requirements that the acquisition method of accounting (previously referred to as the purchase method of accounting) be used for all business combinations, but requires a number of changes, including changes in the way assets and liabilities are recognized and measured as a result of business combinations. It also requires the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. Net assets acquired in excess of consideration paid are recorded as a gain.

In April 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance under ASC 825 which requires disclosure about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements in order to provide more timely information about the effects of current market conditions on financial instruments. The guidance is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. However, the Company early adopted the guidance on March 1, 2009. Since this FSP only requires enhanced disclosures, the standard did not effect the Company’s financial information or operating performance.

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

In June 2009, the FASB issued amendments to the accounting pronouncement for variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and for transfers of financial assets. The amendments require an enterprise to make a qualitative assessment whether it has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If an enterprise has both of these characteristics, the enterprise is considered the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. The amendment will be effective for the Company on March 1, 2010. The adoption of these amendments will not to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, a s the Company’s equity investment is still deemed a variable interest, and the Company is not deemed the primary beneficiary.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements” (“ASU No. 2009-13”), which amends revenue recognition guidance fro arrangements with multiple deliverables. The new guidance eliminates the residual method of revenue recognition and allows the use of management’s best estimate of selling price for individual elements of an arrangement when vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), vendor objective evidence (“VOE”) or third-party evidence (“TPE”) is unavailable. Full retrospective application of the new guidance is optional. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2) Business Acquisitions

Thomson Audio/Video

On December 31, 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of Thomson’s U.S., Canada, Mexico, China and Hong Kong consumer electronics audio/video business as well as the rights to the RCA brand for the audio/video field of use. As consideration for Thomson’s audio/video business, the Company paid the following:

Purchase Price	$	18,953
Net asset payment		10,079
Acquisition related costs		926
		29,958
Less: Multimedia license fee		(10,000	)
Multimedia inventory payment		(4,387	)
Total net purchase price	$	15,571

In addition, the Company agreed to pay Thomson a 1% fee related to future net sales of the RCA brand for the audio/video field of use for five years (beginning in 2010 through 2014).

Contemporaneous with this transaction, the Company entered into a license agreement with Multimedia Device Ltd., a Chinese manufacturer, to market certain product categories acquired in the acquisition for an upfront fee of $10,000, the purchase of certain inventory, which amounted to $4,387, plus a 1% royalty payment on future net RCA sales beginning in 2008 and continuing in perpetuity. From 2010 through 2014, this royalty fee increases to 2% of future net sales.

Accordingly, the upfront license fee of $10,000 and the inventory payment will reduce the Company’s cost of the transaction (refer to purchase price above).

Technuity

On November 1, 2007, Audiovox Accessories Corporation completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Technuity, Inc. (“Technuity”), an emerging leader in the battery and power products industry and the exclusive licensee of the Energizer® brand in North and Latin Americas for rechargeable batteries and battery packs for camcorders, cordless phones, digital cameras, DVD players and other power supply devices. As consideration for Technuity, the Company paid the following:

Purchase Price (net of cash acquired)	$	20,373
Final working capital credit		(317	)
Acquisition related costs		1,131
Total Purchase Price	$	21,187

In addition, a minimum working capital payment, as defined in the agreement, and a maximum contingent payment of $1,000 may be due by the Company if certain sales and gross margin targets are met for a period of twelve months after the acquisition date. The sales and gross margin targets require that net sales exceeds $26.5 million and gross margin exceeds $7.65 million, as defined in the purchase agreement. As of February 28, 2009, no amount was accrued or paid for the contingency payment as the sales and gross margin targets were not met. The contingency period has now expired.

The results of operations of this acquisition have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purpose of this acquisition was to further strengthen our accessory product lines and core offerings, to be the exclusive licensee of the Energizer® brand in North and Latin Americas for rechargeable batteries and power supply systems and to increase the Company’s market share in the consumer electronics accessory business.

The following summarizes the final allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

The allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired was based upon a valuation study performed by management and is final. During 2009, the contingent payment period expired and the required earnings targets were not met. As such, the Company reversed the liability established and reduced the Trademark and other intangibles on a prorata, prospective basis. After the adjustment, Trademark and other intangible assets include $346 of amortizable customer relationships with an estimated life of 5 years.

Incaar

On August 14, 2007, Audiovox German Holdings GmbH completed the acquisition of certain assets and the business of Incaar Limited (“Incaar”), an OEM business in Europe for $801, including acquisition costs of $51 and an estimated contingent payment of approximately $400.

The contingent payment may be due by the Company if certain earnings targets are generated by Incaar for a period of approximately two years after the acquisition date (August 14, 2007). The earnings target calculation requires that if the accumulated Incaar pre-tax income, including or excluding certain items, exceeds 1,055 Euros over the cumulative two year period, the Company is liable to pay an additional $400, as defined in the purchase agreement. The contingent payment was recorded in connection with the final purchase price allocation (increase to intangible assets and other long-term liabilities) as the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the total purchase price. As the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the total purchase price, after recording the maximum cont ingent payment, the Company reduced the estimated fair value of the non-financial assets acquired on a prorata basis to the adjusted purchase price of $801.

The results of operations of this acquisition have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purpose of this acquisition was to add the experience, concepts and product development of an OEM business in Europe.

The following summarizes the final allocation of the total purchase price to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired at the date of acquisition:

Assets acquired:
Trademark and other intangible assets	$	801
Total purchase price (includes cash paid plus estimated contingent fees)	$	801

Oehlbach

On March 1, 2007, Audiovox German Holdings GmbH completed the stock acquisition of Oehlbach Kabel GmbH (“Oehlbach”), a European market leader in the accessories field for $8,134, including acquisition costs of $200 and an estimated contingent payment of approximately $1,322.

The contingent payment may be due by the Company if certain earnings targets are generated by Oehlbach for a period of three years after the acquisition date (March 1, 2010). The earnings target calculation requires that if the accumulated Oehlbach operating income, including or excluding certain items exceeds 3,290 Euros over the cumulative three year period, the Company is liable to pay the excess of the operating income amount (as defined in the purchase agreement) over 3,290 Euros but not to exceed 1,000 Euros. The contingent payment was recorded in connection with the final purchase price allocation (increase to intangible assets and other long-term liabilities) as the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the total purchase price. As the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the t otal purchase price, after recording the maximum contingent payment, the Company reduced the estimated fair value of the non-financial assets acquired on a prorata basis to the adjusted purchase price of $8,134.

The following summarizes the final allocation of the total purchase price to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

5) Equity Investment

The Company has a 50% non-controlling ownership interest in Audiovox Specialized Applications, Inc. (“ASA”) which acts as a distributor to markets for specialized vehicles, such as RV’s, van conversions and marine vehicles, of televisions and other automotive sound, security and accessory products. ASC 810 requires the Company to evaluate non-consolidated entities periodically and as circumstances change to determine if an implied controlling interest exists. During Fiscal 2010, the Company evaluated this equity investment and concluded that this is still a variable interest and correctly accounted for. ASA’s fiscal year end is November 30, 2009, however, the proportionate results of ASA as of and until February 28, 2010 have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

a) Domestic Bank Obligations

b) Euro Asset-Based Lending Obligation

The Company has Euro accounts receivable factoring arrangements totaling 23,000 and a 5,000 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 1, 2010. 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. The activity under this ABL is accounted for as a sale of accounts receivable. 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, 2010, the amount of accounts receivable and finished goods available for factoring exceeded the amounts outstanding under this obligation.

c) Euro Term Loan Agreement

On March 30, 2008, Audiovox Germany entered into a new 5 million Euro term loan agreement. This agreement is for a five-year term with a financial institution and was used to repay the Audiovox Germany intercompany debt to Audiovox Corporation. Payments under the term loan are to be made in two semi-annual installments of 500,000 Euros beginning on September 30, 2008 and ending on March 30, 2013. Interest accrues at a fixed rate of 4.82%. Any amount repaid can not be reborrowed. The term loan is secured by a pledge of the stock of Audiovox Germany and the Magnat brand name, prohibits the distribution of dividends, and takes precedence to all other intercompany loans with Audiovox Corporation.

d) Suntrust

On February 1, 2010, the Company entered into a two-year monthly installment loan in the amount of $5,000 at an interest rate of LIBOR + 4%. This loan was used to pay down liabilities assumed in the asset purchase of Invision Systems, Inc. In April 2010 this loan was prepaid in full without penalty.

e) Oehlbach

In connection with the Oehlbach acquisition (see Note 3), the Company acquired short and long term debt payable to various third parties. The interest rate on the debt ranges from 4.2% to 6.1% and is payable from May 2008 to March 2011.

f) Other Debt

On August 29, 2003, the Company entered into a call/put option agreement with certain employees of Audiovox Germany, whereby these employees can acquire up to a maximum of 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 wil l 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, subject to certain adjustments as defined in the agreement, representing the incremental change of the put price over the call option price. Compensation (benefit) expense for these options amounted to $1,679, $642 and $(790) for the years ended February 28, 2010, February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, respectively. The benefit recorded for the year ended February 29, 2008 was due to a reduction in the call/put liability calculation as a result of the Oehlbach and Incaar acquisitions.

The U.S. effects of foreign operations include differences in the statutory tax rate of the foreign countries as compared to the statutory tax rate in the U.S., foreign operating losses for which no tax benefit has been provided and the effects of the settlement of the German tax audit during Fiscal 2008.

Other is a combination of various factors, including changes in the taxable income or loss between various tax entities with differing effective tax rates, changes in the allocation and apportionment factors between taxable jurisdictions with differing tax rates of each tax entity, changes in tax rates and other legislation in the various jurisdictions and other items.

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:

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

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 in those periods in which temporary differences become deductible and /or net operating loss carryforwards can be utilized. We consider the level of historical taxable income, scheduled reversal of temporary differences, tax planning strategies and projected future taxable income in determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted. Based on these considerations, the Company believes it cannot realize a substantial portion of its deferred tax assets on a more likely than not basis.

In accordance with ASC 350, the Company does not amortize indefinite-lived intangibles for book purposes but does amortize intangibles with tax basis for tax purposes. The deferred tax liability at February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009 relates to the tax effect of differences between the book and tax bases of intangible assets not expected to reverse during the Company’s net operating loss carry forward period.

As of February 28, 2010, the Company had approximately $9.2 million of U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards, which are available to offset future taxable income. These carryforwards expire in the tax years between 2027 and 2030, if not utilized. In addition, the Company has approximately $3.3 of foreign tax credits that expire in 2012 through 2016 if not utilized. In addition, the Company has various state net operating loss carryforwards that expire in varying amounts through fiscal year 2030.

The Company has not provided for U.S. federal and foreign withholding taxes on its foreign subsidiaries undistributed earnings in Germany and Venezuela as of February 28, 2010, 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.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, is as follows:

Balance at February 29, 2008	$	3,865
Additions based on tax positions taken in the current and prior years		2,014
Settlements		-
Lapse in statute of limitations		(125	)
Balance at February 28, 2009	$	5,754
Additions based on tax positions taken in the current and prior years		334
Change in tax law		(1,166	)
Settlements		-
Lapse in statute of limitations		(2,297	)
Balance at February 28, 2010	$	2,625

At February 28, 2010, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $888. A reasonable estimate of timing of these liabilities is not possible. As of February 28, 2010, Company had approximately $330 of accrued interest and penalties. The Company records both accrued interest and penalties related to income tax matters in the provision for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Included in the reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits additions based on tax positions taken in prior years for Fiscal 2009 are excess tax benefits for stock based compensation deductions which have not yet reduced the Company’s current taxes payable as prescribed by ASC 718. In addition, the Company believes that the uncertain tax positions will not materially change within the next twe lve months.

During Fiscal 2010, the Company recorded an income tax benefit primarily related to a reduction of its valuation allowance in connection with its ability to carryback certain net operating losses to the 2005 tax year as a result of new legislation enacted during Fiscal 2010. As a result, the Company received an income tax refund of approximately $10.1 million in connection with such carryback. The income tax refund remains subject to further review by the Joint Committee on Taxation

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. Effective March 1, 2008, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan was terminated.

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 statements 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 years ended February 28, 2010, February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008. 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. As of February 1, 2008, the Company has temporarily suspended all matching contributions to contain operating expenses until economic conditions improve. The Company's contributions were $239, $848 and $749 for the years ended February 28, 2010, February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, 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) Cash Bonus Profit Sharing Plan

During Fiscal 2009, the Board of Directors authorized a Cash Bonus Profit Sharing Plan that allows the Company to make profit sharing contributions for the benefit of eligible employees, for any fiscal year based on a pre-determined formula on the Company's pre-tax profits. The size of the contribution is dependent upon the performance of the Company. A participant’s share of the contribution is determined pursuant to the participant’s eligible wages for the fiscal year as a percentage of total eligible wages for all participants. The Company did not make a cash bonus profit sharing contribution for the year ended February 28, 2009 due to the Company’s pre-tax loss for the year. For Fiscal 2010, the Company elected to pay back previous temporary salary reductions to all employees below the level of vic e president in lieu of a contribution to the Profit Sharing Plan.

e) 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. As of February 1, 2008, the Company has temporarily suspended all matching contributions to contain operating expenses until economic conditions improve. 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 $3,158 and $2,559 at February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, respectively, have been classified as long-term marketable securities and are included in investment securities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and a corresponding deferred compensation liability is reflected as a long-term liability. Unrealized gains and losses on the marketable securities and corresponding deferred compensation liability net to zero in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

11) 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 expires on November 30, 2026. On November 1, 2004, we entered into an agreement to sublease the building to Personal Communication Devices, LLC (Formerly UTStarcom) for monthly payments of $46 until November 1, 2009. The sublease lease agreement has been renewed and requires, for a term of three years, monthly payments o f $50 until November 1, 2012. 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, 2015 are $6,569.

At February 28, 2010, the Company was obligated under non-cancelable capital and operating leases for equipment and warehouse facilities for minimum annual rental payments as follows:

	Capital		Operating
	Lease		Leases

2011	$	521	$	4,903
2012		535		3,731
2013		574		2,721
2014		574		2,223
2015		574		2,072
Thereafter		7,629		7,340
Total minimum lease payments		10,407	$	22,990

Net		8,807
Less: amount representing interest		3,275
Present value of net minimum lease payments		5,532
Less: current installments included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities		82
Long-term capital obligation	$	5,450

Rental expense for the above-mentioned operating lease agreements and other leases on a month-to-month basis approximated $2,044, $2,412 and $3,138 for the years ended February 28, 2010, February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, respectively.

The Company leases certain facilities and equipment from its principal stockholder and several officers. At February 28, 2010, 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:

2011	$	714
2012		735
2013		758
2014		781
2015		804

12) 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 $319 and $0 open commercial letters of credit at February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, respectively. Standby letters of credit amounted to $1,294 and $2,380 at February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, 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 the 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, 2010, the Company had unconditional purchase obligations for inventory commitments of $76,580. 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, Canada and Germany and consist of, among others, distributors, mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs and independent retailers. The Company generally grants credit based upon analyses of customers' financial condition 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, 2010, two customers accounted for approximately 43% of accounts receivable, while at February 28, 2009, these two customers accounted for 42% of accounts receivable. During the year ended February 28, 2010, two customers accounted for 28% of sales, while at February 28, 2009 one customer accounted for 22% 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.

14) 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:

During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2009, the Company became aware that certain personal consumer credit card information had been accessed by an intrusion by an unauthorized source. The Company has notified the various state and federal authorities in which the consumers reside and is offering a plan of credit monitoring and protection for the affected individuals. The Company is partially covered by insurance but anticipates amounts will be necessary to cover the cost of this issue. The Company has recorded certain costs associated with this issue as of February 28, 2009, based on information available at the time .

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

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, 2010 or February 28, 2009.

Note 1.

Nature of Business 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 Ra dios, 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 Oregon.

Significant accounting policies:

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.

Principles of consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and 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 collectability 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, 2009 and 2008 no such allowance was deemed necessary. Product sales are generally not subject to acceptance or installation by Company or customer personnel.

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, 2009, 2008, and 2007 was approximately $263,000, $629,000, and $831,000 respectively and is included in net sales.

All sales transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars.

Audiovox Specialized Applications, LLC And Subsidiary

(A Limited Liability Company)

Notes To Financial Statements

Shipping and delivery:

The Company recognizes shipping and delivery costs in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of income. These costs for the years ended November 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were approximately $279,000, $464,000 and $487,000 respectively.

Sales incentives:

The Company offers sales incentives to its customers primarily in the form of co-operative advertising allowances and rebates. 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, 2009, the Company paid approximately $461,000 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 treasury bills with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents amounted to approximately $884,000 and $4,813,000 for the years ended November 30, 2009 and 2008 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.

Audiovox Specialized Applications, LLC And Subsidiary

(A Limited Liability Company)

Notes To Financial Statements

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 accounting standards. 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.

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, 2009 and 2008 are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $50,000 and $60,000 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 d ays.

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.

During the years ended November 30, 2009, 2008, and 2007 the Company recorded write downs of inventory of approximately $280,000, $2,018,000, and $90,000 respectively related to lower of cost or market adjustments. This charge to income is included in cost of goods sold in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.

Notes To Financial Statements

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:

		Years
Leasehold improvements		5-9
Machinery and equipment		5-10
Tooling and molding		3
Transportation equipment		5
Office furniture and fixtures		10
Computer equipment		3-5
Booth displays		7

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, 2009, 2008, and 2007 are as follows:

	2009			2008			2007

Balance, beginning	$	2,647,000		$	2,457,000		$	2,307,000
Accruals for products sold		854,016			2,032,340			2,497,155
Payments made		(1,172,016	)		(1,842,340	)		(2,347,155	)
Balance, ending	$	2,329,000		$	2,647,000		$	2,457,000

Income taxes:

As a limited liability Company, the Company’s taxable income is allocated to members in accordance with their respective percentage ownership. Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes has been included in the financial statements.

Advertising costs:

The Company expenses the cost of advertising (including trade shows), as incurred. Advertising costs in the accompanying statements of income were approximately $266,000, $459,000, and $629,000, for the years ended November 30, 2009, 2008, and 2007 respectively.

Audiovox Specialized Applications, LLC And Subsidiary

(A Limited Liability Company)

Notes To Financial Statements

Long-lived assets and other intangible assets:

The Company acquired certain trademark rights from Audiovox in August 2003. In connection with the acquisition, Audiovox sublicensed its rights in relation to the trademark to the Company and cannot terminate these rights under the terms of the acquisition agreement. The Company has accounted for trademark rights as an indefinite lived intangible asset. Accounting standards require that 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. The Company has performed its annual impairment test for the years ended November 30, 2009, 2008, and 2007 and no impairment was identified.

In accordance with accounting standards, the Company reviews its long-lived assets periodically to determine potential impairment. If indicators are present, the Company compares 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 impairment of long-lived assets for the years ended November 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007.

New accounting pronouncements:

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new accounting standard for Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. The new standard clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements and prescribes a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. If there are changes in net assets as a result of application of the new standard these will be accounted for as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Additional disclosures about the amounts of such liabilities will be required also. In January 2009, the FASB delayed the effective date of the new standard for certain nonpublic enterprises to annual financial stat ements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company will be required to adopt the new standard in its 2010 annual financial statements. Management is currently assessing the impact of the new standard on its consolidated financial position and results of operations and has not determined if the adoption of the new standard will have a material effect on its financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance that modifies the approach for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) by amending existing guidance for Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. Under the new guidance, an enterprise is required to make a qualitative assessment whether it has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and, (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If an enterprise has both of these characteristics, the enterprise is considered primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. The new guidance is effective for the Company on December 1, 2009. The Company is currently evalu ating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements

On December 1, 2008, the Company adopted the new accounting standards that define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

Accounting standards specify a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs), or reflect the Company’s own assumptions of market participant valuation (unobservable inputs). In accordance with the accounting standards, these two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 –

Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities

Level 2 –

Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 –

Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The standard requires the use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value:

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable:

The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.

Investments in available-for-sale securities:

The fair values of the investments in available-for-sale securities are estimated based on quoted market prices.

The cost and fair value of debt securities by contractual maturities as of November 30, 2009 are as follows:

			Fair
	Cost		Value

Due after three years	$	8,005,000	$	8,005,000

The government bonds contain a put feature which allows the Company to sell the bonds to a brokerage house at par value on seven day terms and a floating interest rate which is reset on a periodic basis.

Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of certain debt securities have the right to prepay their obligations without penalty.

A summary of proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities and investment earnings for the years ended November 30, 2009, 2008, and 2007 is as follows:
