THE SINGING MACHINE COMPANY, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

June 30, 2008

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

OVERVIEW

The Singing Machine Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company," “SMC”, "The Singing Machine", “We” or “Us”), and wholly-owned subsidiaries SMC (Comercial Offshore De Macau) Limitada (“Macau Subsidiary”), SMC Logistics, Inc. (“SMC-L”), SMC-Music, Inc.(“SMC-M”), and Singing Machine Holdings Ltd. (a B.V.I. company) are primarily engaged in the development, marketing, and sale of consumer karaoke audio equipment, accessories, musical instruments and musical recordings. The products are sold directly to distributors and retail customers.

The preparation of The Singing Machine's 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 at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the period. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty; therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the Company's financial statements. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions continually. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Singing Machine Company, Inc., its wholly-owned Macau Subsidiary, SMC (Comercial Offshore De Macau) Limitada (“Macau Subsidiary”), SMC Logistics, Inc. (“SMC-L”), SMC-Music, Inc. (“SMC-M”), and The Singing Machine Holdings Ltd. (a B.V.I. company). All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation for all periods presented.

INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations. The consolidated results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The consolidated balance sheet information as of March 31, 2008 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.

USE OF OTHER ESTIMATES. The Singing Machine makes other estimates and assumptions in the ordinary course of business relating to sales returns and allowances, warranty reserves, and reserves for promotional incentives that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Historically, past changes to these estimates have not had a material impact on the Company's financial condition. However, circumstances could change which may alter future expectations.

NOTE 2-SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

COLLECTIBILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. The Singing Machine's allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management's estimates of the creditworthiness of its customers, current economic conditions and historical information, and, in the opinion of management, is believed to be an amount sufficient to respond to normal business conditions. Management sets 100% reserves for customers in bankruptcy and other reserves based upon historical collection experience. Should business conditions deteriorate or any major customer default on its obligations to the Company, this allowance may need to be significantly increased, which would have a negative impact on operations.

RESERVES ON INVENTORIES. The Singing Machine reduces inventory on hand to its net realizable value on an item-by-item basis when it is apparent that the expected realizable value of an inventory item falls below its original cost. A charge to cost of sales results when the estimated net realizable value of specific inventory items declines below cost. Management regularly reviews the Company's inventories for such declines in value.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The functional currency of the Macau Subsidiary is the Hong Kong dollar. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using year-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the year for revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions and translations were not material during the periods presented.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company maintains cash balances in foreign financial institutions. Such balances are not insured. The uninsured amounts at June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008 are $426,288 and $407,376, respectively.

INVENTORY

Inventories are comprised of electronic karaoke equipment, accessories, and compact discs and are stated at the lower of cost or market, as determined using the first in, first out method. The Singing Machine reduces inventory on hand to its net realizable value on an item-by-item basis when it is apparent that the expected realizable value of an inventory item falls below its original cost. A charge to cost of sales results when the estimated net realizable value of specific inventory items declines below cost. Management regularly reviews the Company's investment in inventories for such declines in value.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from the sale of equipment, accessories, and musical recordings are recognized upon the later of: (a) the time of shipment or (b) when title passes to the customers and all significant contractual obligations have been satisfied and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenues from sales of consigned inventory are recognized upon sale of the product by the consignee. Net sales are comprised of gross sales net of actual and estimated future returns, discounts and volume rebates.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company began to apply the provisions of Share-Based Payments ("SFAS 123 (R)"), starting on January 1, 2006. SFAS 123 (R) which became effective after June 15, 2005, replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123 (R) requires all share-based payments to employees including grants of employee stock options, be measured at fair value and expensed in the consolidated statement of operations over the service period (generally the vesting period). Upon adoption, the Company transitioned to SFAS 123 (R) using the modified prospective application, whereby compensation cost is only recognized in the consolidated statements of operations beginning with the first period that SFAS 123 (R) is effective and thereafter, with prior periods' stock-based compensation still presented on a pro forma basis. Under the modified prospective approach, the provisions of SFAS 123 (R) are to be applied to new employee awards and to employee awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the required effective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of employee awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered that are outstanding as of the required effective date shall be recognized as the requisite service is rendered on or after the required effective date. The compensation cost for that portion of employee awards shall be based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated for either recognition or pro-forma disclosures under SFAS 123. The Company continues to use the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value stock options. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 123 (R), the Company recognized a charge of $3,640 (included in selling, general and administrative expenses) for the three months ended June 30, 2008 associated with the expensing of stock options. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, the stock option expense was $6,790. Employee stock option compensation expense in fiscal years 2008 and 2007 includes the estimated fair value of options granted, amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire portion of the award.

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the assumptions outlined below. For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company took into consideration guidance under SFAS 123 (R) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) when reviewing and updating assumptions. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of our stock and other contributing factors. The expected term is based upon observation of actual time elapsed between date of grant and exercise of options for all employees. Previously such assumptions were determined based on historical data.

For the three months ended June 30, 2008: expected dividend yield 0%, risk-free interest rate of 1.55%, volatility of 67.41% and expected term of one year.

For the three months ended June 30, 2007: expected dividend yield 0%, risk-free interest rate of 4.92%, volatility of 90.77% and expected term of three years.

ADVERTISING

Costs incurred for producing and publishing advertising of the Company, are charged to operations as incurred. The Company has entered into cooperative advertising agreements with its major clients that specifically indicated that the client has to spend the cooperative advertising fund upon the occurrence of mutually agreed events. The percentage of the cooperative advertising allowance ranges from 2% to 5% of the purchase. The clients have to advertise the Company's products in the client's catalog, local newspaper and other advertising media. The client must submit the proof of the performance (such as a copy of the advertising showing the Company’s products) to the Company to request for the allowance. The client does not have the ability to spend the allowance at their discretion. The Company believes that the identifiable benefit from the cooperative advertising program and the fair value of the advertising benefit is equal or greater than the cooperative advertising expense. Advertising expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $40,160 and $60,244, respectively.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

All research and development costs are charged to results of operations as incurred. These expenses are shown as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, these amounts totaled $1,949 and $1,090, respectively.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosures of information about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. For purposes of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.

The carrying amounts of the Company's short-term financial instruments, including accounts receivable, due from factors, accounts payable, customer credits on account, and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

NOTE 2- RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, which replaces SFAS No 141. The statement retains the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, but requires a number of changes, including changes in the way assets and liabilities are recognized in the purchase accounting. It also changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS No. 141 would have on our financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160. Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, and amendment of ARB 51, which changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests. Minority interests will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and will be reported as a component of equity separate from the parent’s equity, and purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change of control will be accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement and upon a loss of control, the interest sold, as well as any interest retained, will be recorded at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS No. 160 would have on our financial statements.

NOTE 3- INCOME TAXES

The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109"). Under the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax base. 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. Under SFAS No. 109, 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. If it is more likely than not that some portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

Significant management judgment is required in developing The Singing Machine's provision for income taxes, including the determination of foreign tax liabilities, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowances that might be required against the deferred tax assets. Management evaluates its ability to realize its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and adjusts its valuation allowance when it believes that it is more likely that the asset will not be realized.

As of June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, The Singing Machine had gross deferred tax assets of approximately $2.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively, against which the Company recorded valuation allowances totaling approximately $2.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

On January 1, 2007 we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the requirements of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, relating to the recognition of income tax benefits. FIN 48 provides a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring tax benefits when the benefits’ realization is uncertain. The first step is to determine whether the benefit is to be recognized; the second step is to determine the amount to be recognized:

Income tax benefits should be recognized when, based on the technical merits of a tax position, the company believes that if a dispute arose with the taxing authority and were taken to a court of last resort, it is more likely than not (i.e., a probability of greater than 50 percent) that the tax position would be sustained as filed; and

If a position is determined to be more likely than not of being sustained, the reporting company should recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority.

The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on these financial statements.

NOTE 4- INVENTORIES

Inventories are comprised of the following components:

Finished Goods	$	4,526,297		$	4,012,969
Inventory in Transit		1,086,962			-
Less: Inventory Reserve		(578,035	)		(497,985	)

Inventory consigned to customers at June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008 were $376,257 and $372,012, respectively.

NOTE 5 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FACTORING AGREEMENT

The Company executed an agreement with CIT on August 13, 2007 to factor its receivables. CIT assumes the credit risk on approved accounts (factor risk accounts). For non-approved accounts, the Company will assume the credit risk (client risk accounts). The factoring fees, for the client risk accounts, are .3% of the gross invoice. For the factor risk accounts, the fees are .55% of the gross invoice. The annual minimum charge is $24,000. CIT does not advance funds to the Company directly. On October 26, 2007, the Company entered into a four- party agreement with CIT(“Factor”), Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong), Limited (“Lender”) and Starlight Marketing Limited (“Borrower”), a related party. According to the agreement, the Company assigns the proceeds from customers to the Lender, the Lender advances the loans to the Borrower. The Borrower sends the advance to the Company. Both the Borrower and the Company guarantee the repayment of the advance. The maximum amount for the advance is approximately $4.5 million or 85% of the qualified accounts receivable, which ever is higher. As of June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008 the outstanding amount due from the factor was $75,409 and $131,451, respectively. The amounts represent excess of customer payments received by the factor over advances made to the Company. The factoring agreement with CIT will expire August 2008. After that date, each party will have to give 60 days written notice to terminate the agreement.

NOTE 6 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

A summary of property and equipment is as follows:

			June 30,			March 31,

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEGAL MATTERS

SYBERSOUND RECORDS, INC. V. UAV CORPORATION; MADACY ENTERTAINMENT L.P., AUDIO STREAM, INC., TOP TUNES, INC., SINGING MACHINE, INC., BCI ECLIPSE COMPANY, LLC, AMOS ALTER, DAVID ALTER, EDWARD GOETZ, DENNIS NORDEN, FRANK ROBERTSON, DOUGLAS VOGT AND RICHARD VOGT (UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA, CV05-5861 JFW); (UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT (USCA DOCKET NO. 06-55221)

The federal court action filed on August 11, 2005 alleged violation of the Copyright Act and the Lanham Act by the defendants, and claims for unfair competition under California law. Sybersound was joined in the complaint by several publisher owners of musical compositions who alleged copyright infringement against all the defendants except The Singing Machine Company, Inc. On November 7, 2005, the district court ordered the publisher plaintiffs’ copyright claims severed from the case. The Singing Machine Company, Inc. is not a party to the severed cases.

In September 2005, the defendants, including The Singing Machine Company, Inc., filed multiple motions to dismiss the original complaint. In October 2005, Sybersound filed a motion for summary judgment. On January 6, 2006, the court granted the motions of the defendants and denied the plaintiff’s motion, thereby dismissing the case against the defendants, including The Singing Machine Company, Inc., with prejudice. The plaintiff Sybersound thereafter appealed the decision to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

On February 27, 2008 the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal against The Singing Machine Company, Inc. and dismissed all claims against the Company with prejudice. Sybersound had until July 10, 2008 to file a Petition with the United States Supreme Court to appeal that decision. Presently, Sybersound has not filed any such Petition with the United States Supreme Court. Due to Sybersound’s failure to file a timely Petition, the above lawsuit is considered concluded.

The Company is also subject to various other legal proceedings and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability, if any, in excess of applicable insurance coverage, is not likely to have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Company. However, as the outcome of litigation or other legal claims is difficult to predict, significant changes in the range of possible loss could occur, which could have a material impact on the Company's operations.

INCOME TAXES

In a letter dated July 21, 2008 the Internal Revenue Service notified the Company of an unpaid tax balance on Income Tax Return of a Foreign Corporation (Form 1120-F) for the period ending March 31, 2003 for International SMC (HK) Limited “ISMC (HK)”, a former subsidiary. According to the notice ISMC (HK) has an unpaid balance due in the amount of $241,639 that includes an interest assessment of $74,125. ISMC (HK) was sold in its entirety by the Company on September 25, 2006 to a British Virgin Islands company (“Purchaser”). The sale and purchase agreement with the Purchaser of ISMC (HK) specifies that the Purchaser would ultimately be responsible for any liabilities, including tax matters. Management believes this matter is in the initial discovery stages and is too preliminary to determine whether this would have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

LEASES

The Company has entered into various operating lease agreements for office and warehouse facilities in Coconut Creek, Florida, City of Industry, California and Macau. The leases expire at varying dates. Rent expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $141,421 and $59,602 respectively.

NOTE 9 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

COMMON STOCK ISSUANCES

During the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company issued 940,476 and 2,612,677 shares of its common stock, respectively.

On April 1, 2008, the Company issued 940,476 shares of common stock to Starlight Industrial Holdings, Ltd. for $197,500 ($.21 per share) as payment for certain payables owed by the Company for tooling.

During the three months ended June 30 2007, the Company issued 112,677 shares of common stock to various employees, as well as directors, at prices ranging from $.32 per share to $.93 per share pursuant to employee stock option agreements.

On April 16, 2007, 2,500,000 warrants at $0.233 were exercised by koncept International Limited, a subsidiary of Starlight, and the Company received a total of $582,500.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

In accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share", basic (loss) earnings per share are computed by dividing the net (loss) earnings for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding including the effect of common stock equivalents.

For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, common stock equivalents to purchase 3,425,215 and 3,538,858 shares of stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the period.

STOCK OPTIONS

On June 1, 2001, the Board of Directors approved the 2001 Stock Option Plan (`Plan"), which replaced the 1994 Stock Option Plan, as amended, (the "1994 Plan"). The Plan was developed to provide a means whereby directors and selected employees, officers, consultants, and advisors of the Company may be granted incentive or non-qualified stock options to purchase common stock of the Company. As of June 30, 2008, the Plan is authorized to grant options up to an aggregate of 1,950,000 shares of the Company's common stock and up to 300,000 shares for any one individual grant in any quarter. As of June 30, 2008, the Company granted 1,352,180 options under the Year 2001 Plan with 919,665 options still outstanding, leaving 597,820 options available to be granted. As of June 30, 2008, the Company has 5,550 options still issued and no options available to be granted under the 1994 Plan, since the 1994 Plan has expired (after 10 years).

The exercise price of employee common stock option issuances in the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for options issued under the Plan in the years prior to June 15, 2006. The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) for the reporting period ending after June 15, 2005 and recognized the fair value of the stock option as part of the general and administration expenses.

STOCK WARRANTS

As of June 30, 2008, the Company had a total of 2,500,000 stock purchase warrants outstanding. The exercise price of these warrants range from $0.28 to $0.35. The expiration date of these warrants range from July 25, 2009 to July 26, 2010.

NOTE 10 - GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

The Company operates in one segment and maintains its records accordingly. The majority of sales to customers outside of the United States for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were made by the Macau Subsidiary. Sales by geographic region for the period presented are as follows:

	FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
	June 30,

QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 COMPARED TO THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2007

NET SALES

Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 decreased to $1,770,346 from $2,446,100, a decrease of $675,754 as compared to the same period ended June 30, 2007. This decrease can be primarily attributed to delayed shipments from Asia which caused us to miss recording sales in the first quarter. Additionally we experienced lower sales of Bratz products of approximately $330,000. Additionally there was a decrease of sales to international customers (excluding Bratz products) of approximately $530,000 offset by an increase to North American customers of approximately $254,000.

GROSS PROFIT

Our gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 decreased to $202,649 from $339,352, a decrease of $136,703 as compared to the same period in the prior year. As a percentage of revenues, our gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2008 decreased to 11.4% from 13.9% for the same period in 2007. The decrease of gross profit as a percentage of revenues was primarily due lower gross profit margins from International shipments of Bratz products compared to the same period last year. We also recognized additional expense associated with repair of defective goods compared to the same period in the prior year.

OPERATING EXPENSES

For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, total operating expenses increased to $1,244,894. This represents an increase of $58,515 over last year’s same quarter ended total operating expenses of $1,186,379. This increase was primarily due to an increase in selling expenses from increased freight charges as well as increased depreciation on tools purchased during these periods. Our general and administration expenses decreased $38,078 from $960,277 to $922,199.

Factors contributing to the increase of operating expenses are as follows:

1) Selling expenses increased $57,629 which was primarily due to an increase in freight charges. Also, there was a reduction in royalties associated with the decrease in sales of licensed products.

2) General and administrative expenses decreased $38,078 which was primarily due to the reduction of consulting expenses from the same period of the prior year.

3) Depreciation expense increased $38,964 due to the depreciation of tools and a new business system purchased during the past year.

LOSS FROM OPERATION

Loss from operations increased $195,218 this quarter, from $847,027 to $1,042,245. This increase was primarily due to the decrease in net sales from the same period in the prior year.

OTHER INCOME/EXPENSES

Our net other expenses (interest expense) increased to $7,316 from $5,289 for the same period a year ago. The increase of interest expenses was primarily due to the increase of our United States domestic business compared to the same period in 2007.

INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we did not record a tax provision because we incurred losses during these periods.

NET LOSS

For the three months ended June, 2008 net loss increased to $1,049,561 from $852,316 for the same period a year ago. This increase was primarily due to the decrease in net sales from the same period in the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 2008, Singing Machine had cash on hand of $461,150 as compared to cash on hand of $1,003,071 as of June 30, 2007. We had working capital of $2,270,646 as of June 30, 2008.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $55,122 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $1,183,380 used by operating activities the same period a year ago. The increase of net cash provided was a result of the following factors: increase of accounts payable to Hong Kong suppliers and decreased accounts receivable due to decreased sales. These increases to cash provided from operations were offset by an increase in inventory in preparation for the upcoming season.

Net cash used by investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $278,278 as compared to $31,434 provided by investing activities for the same period ended a year ago. This increase was caused primarily by the purchase of additional tools this quarter.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $236,490 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $1,028,985 for the same period ended a year ago. There were no warrants or options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 when we recognized proceeds of $614,381 from the exercise of stock options and 2,500,000 warrants exercised by Starlight. These proceeds were offset by an increase in related party loans and a decrease in amounts due from factors.

As of June 30, 2008, our unrestricted cash on hand was $461,150. Our average monthly general and administrative expenses are approximately $300,000. We expect that we will require approximately $1 million for working capital during the next three-month period.

During the next 12 month period, we plan on financing our operation needs by:

Raising additional working capital;

Collecting our existing accounts receivable;

Selling existing inventory;

Vendor financing;

Borrowing from factoring bank;

Short term loans from our majority shareholder;

Fees for fulfillment, delivery and returns services from related parties.

Our sources of cash for working capital in the long term, 12 months and beyond, are the same as our sources during the short term. We are actively seeking additional financing facilities and capital investments to maintain and grow our business. If we need to obtain additional financing and fail to do so, it may have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our financial obligations and to continue as a going concern.

Our commitments for debt and other contractual obligations as of June 30, 2008 are summarized as follows:

	Total		Less than 1 year		1 - 3 years		3 - 5 years		Over 5 years
Property Leases	$	3,514,248	$	635,561	$	2,152,751	$	725,936	$	-

Total	$	4,378,191	$	1,487,129	$	2,165,126	$	725,936	$	-

INVENTORY SELL THROUGH

We monitor the inventory levels and sell through activity of our major customers to properly anticipate returns and maintain the appropriate level of inventory. We believe that we have proper return reserves to cover potential returns based on historical return ratios and information available from the customers.

SEASONAL AND QUARTERLY RESULTS

Historically, our operations have been seasonal, with the highest net sales occurring in our fiscal second and third quarters (reflecting increased orders for equipment and music merchandise during the Christmas holiday season) and to a lesser extent the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. Sales in our fiscal second and third quarter, combined, accounted for approximately 87.8% and 94% of net sales in fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Our results of operations may also fluctuate from quarter to quarter as a result of the amount and timing of orders placed and shipped to customers, as well as other factors. The fulfillment of orders can therefore significantly affect results of operations on a quarter-to-quarter basis.

We are currently developing and considering selling products other than those within the karaoke category during the slow season to fulfill the revenue shortfall.

INFLATION

Inflation has not had a significant impact on The Singing Machine's operations. The Singing Machine generally has adjusted its prices to track changes in the Consumer Price Index since prices charged by Singing Machine are generally not fixed by long-term contracts.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, management is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that it believes are reasonable based on the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. The significant accounting policies which management believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include: accounts receivable allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves on inventory, deferred tax assets and our Macau income tax exemption.

COLLECTIBILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. The Singing Machine's allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management's estimates of the creditworthiness of its customers, current economic conditions and historical information, and, in the opinion of management, is believed to be an amount sufficient to respond to normal business conditions. Management sets 100% reserves for customers in bankruptcy and other reserves based upon historical collection experience. Should business conditions deteriorate or any major customer default on its obligations to the Company, this allowance may need to be significantly increased, which would have a negative impact on operations.

RESERVES ON INVENTORIES. The Singing Machine establishes a reserve on inventory based on the expected net realizable value of inventory on an item-by-item basis when it is apparent that the expected realizable value of an inventory item falls below its original cost. A charge to cost of sales results when the estimated net realizable value of specific inventory items declines below cost. Management regularly reviews the Company's investment in inventories for such declines in value.

INCOME TAXES. Significant management judgment is required in developing our provision for income taxes, including the determination of foreign tax liabilities, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowances that might be required against the deferred tax assets. Management evaluates its ability to realize its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and adjusts its valuation allowance when it believes that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized.

We operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to audit in those jurisdictions. Because of the complex issues involved, any claims can require an extended period to resolve. In management's opinion, adequate provisions for potential income taxes in the jurisdiction have been made.

USE OF OTHER ESTIMATES. We make other estimates in the ordinary course of business relating to sales returns and allowances, warranty reserves, and reserves for promotional incentives. Historically, past changes to these estimates have not had a material impact on our financial condition. However, circumstances could change which may alter future expectations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows due to adverse changes in financial and commodity market prices and rates. We are exposed to market risk in the areas of changes in United States and international borrowing rates and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, we are exposed to market risk in certain geographic areas that have experienced or remain vulnerable to an economic downturn, such as China. We purchase substantially our entire inventory from companies in China, and, therefore, we are subject to the risk that such suppliers will be unable to provide inventory at competitive prices. While we believe that, if such an event were to occur, we would be able to find alternative sources of inventory at competitive prices, we cannot assure you that we would be able to do so. These exposures are directly related to our normal operating and funding activities. Historically and as of June 30, 2008, we have not used derivative instruments or engaged in hedging activities to minimize market risk.

INTEREST RATE RISK

As of June 30, 2008, our exposure to market risk resulting from changes in interest rates is immaterial.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

We have a wholly-owned subsidiary in Macau. Sales by this operation made on a FOB China or Hong Kong basis are denominated in U.S. dollars. However, purchases of inventory and Macau operating expenses are typically denominated in either Hong Kong dollars or the Macau currency (“MOP”), thereby creating exposure to changes in exchange rates. Changes in the Hong Kong dollar, U.S. dollar or MOP exchange rates may positively or negatively affect our gross margins, operating income and retained earnings. We do not believe that near-term changes in the exchange rates, if any, will result in a material effect on our future earnings, fair values or cash flows, and therefore, we have chosen not to enter into foreign currency hedging transactions. We cannot be assured that this approach will be successful, especially in the event of a significant and sudden change in the value of the MOP or Hong Kong dollar.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and 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 disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the end of the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

None.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT OUR FUTURE RESULTS AND THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR STOCK

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR BUSINESS

WE HAVE ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE STARLIGHT GROUP TO MANAGE THEIR LOGISTICS AND FULFILLMENT SERVICES IN THE UNITED STATES. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO PERFORM UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, IT COULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR REVENUES AND CASH FLOW.

On May 23, 2008 we entered into a services agreement to receive orders, warehouse, and ship all of the Starlight Group’s United States domestic goods. The value of this contract is approximately $1.1 million dollars per year. If we are unable to perform the duties under this contract, it could negatively impact our revenue and cash flow.

THE MUSIC INDUSTRY HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING A CONTINUED DECLINE OF COMPACT DISC (CD) SALES. OUR KARAOKE CD SALES COULD DECLINE FURTHER IN THE FUTURE.

Due to the expansion of the music download business, the sales of Compact Discs (CD) have been declining in recent years. Our karaoke CD sales have been declining since 2004 and may continue to decline in the future. Music revenue accounts for less than 1% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

A SMALL NUMBER OF OUR CUSTOMERS ACCOUNT FOR A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF OUR REVENUES, AND THE LOSS OF ONE OR MORE OF THESE KEY CUSTOMERS COULD SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE OUR REVENUES AND CASH FLOW.

We rely on a few large customers to provide a substantial portion of our revenues. As a percentage of total revenues, our net sales to our five largest customers during the year ended March 31, 2008 and year ended March 31, 2007 were approximately 62% and 57%, respectively. We do not have long-term contractual arrangements with any of our customers and they can cancel their orders at any time prior to delivery. A substantial reduction in or termination of orders from any of our largest customers would decrease our revenues and cash flow.

WE ARE RELYING ON ONE FACTORY TO MANUFACTURE AND PRODUCE THE MAJORITY OF OUR KARAOKE MACHINES FOR FISCAL 2009, AND IF THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS FACTORY IS DAMAGED OR INJURED IN ANY WAY, IT WOULD REDUCE OUR REVENUES AND PROFITABILITY.

We have worked out a written agreement with a factory in China to produce most of our karaoke machines for fiscal 2009. If the factory is unwilling or unable to deliver our karaoke machines to us, our business will be adversely affected. Because our cash on hand is minimal, we are relying on revenues received from the sale of our ordered karaoke machines to provide cash flow for our operations. If we do not receive cash from these sales, we may not be able to continue our business operations.

WE ARE RELYING ON ONE DISTRIBUTOR TO DISTRIBUTE OUR MUSIC PRODUCTS, IF THE DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED, IT WOULD REDUCE OUR REVENUES AND PROFITABILITY.

We are relying on an exclusive distributor to distribute our music products in fiscal 2009. If the distribution agreement is terminated, our music revenues might decrease as well as our profitability.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO THE RISK THAT SOME OF OUR LARGE CUSTOMERS MAY RETURN KARAOKE PRODUCTS THAT THEY HAVE PURCHASED FROM US AND IF THIS HAPPENS, IT WOULD REDUCE OUR REVENUES AND PROFITABILITY.

In fiscal 2008 and 2007, a number of our customers and distributors returned karaoke products that they had purchased from us. Our customers returned goods valued at $2.9 million or 8.6% of our net sales in fiscal 2008. Some of the returns resulted from customer's overstock of the products. Although we were not contractually obligated to accept return of the products, we accepted the returns because we value our relationship with our customers. Because we are dependent upon a few large customers, we are subject to the risk that any of these customers may elect to return unsold karaoke products to us in the future. If any of our customers were to return karaoke products to us, it would reduce our revenues and profitability.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO PRESSURE FROM OUR CUSTOMERS RELATING TO PRICE REDUCTION AND FINANCIAL INCENTIVES AND IF WE ARE PRESSURED TO MAKE THESE CONCESSIONS TO OUR CUSTOMERS, IT WILL REDUCE OUR REVENUES AND PROFITABILITY.

Because there is intense competition in the karaoke industry, we are subject to pricing pressure from our customers. Many of our customers have demanded that we lower our prices or they will buy our competitor's products. If we do not meet our customer's demands for lower prices, we will not sell as many karaoke products. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, our sales to customers in the United States decreased because of increased price competition. We are also subject to pressure from our customers regarding certain financial incentives, such as return credits or large advertising or cooperative advertising allowances, which effectively reduce our profit. We gave advertising allowances of approximately $458,099 during fiscal 2008 and $200,000 during fiscal 2007. We have historically offered advertising allowances to our customers because it is standard practice in the retail industry.

WE EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTY FORECASTING THE DEMAND FOR OUR KARAOKE PRODUCTS AND IF WE DO NOT ACCURATELY FORECAST DEMAND, OUR REVENUES, NET INCOME AND CASH FLOW MAY BE AFFECTED.

Because of our reliance on manufacturers in China for our machine production, our production lead times range from one to four months. Therefore, we must commit to production in advance of customers orders. It is difficult to forecast customer demand because we do not have any scientific or quantitative method to predict this demand. Our forecasting is based on management's general expectations about customer demand, the general strength of the retail market and management's historical experiences. We overestimated demand for our products in fiscal 2003 and 2004 and had $5.9 million in inventory as of March 31, 2004. Because of this excess inventory, we had liquidity problems in fiscal 2005 and our revenues, net income and cash flow were adversely affected.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO THE COSTS AND RISKS OF CARRYING INVENTORY FOR OUR CUSTOMERS AND IF WE HAVE TOO MUCH INVENTORY, IT WILL AFFECT OUR REVENUES AND NET INCOME.

Many of our customers place orders with us several months prior to the holiday season, but they schedule delivery two or three weeks before the holiday season begins. As such, we are subject to the risks and costs of carrying inventory during the time period between the placement or the order and the delivery date, which reduces our cash flow. As of June 30, 2008 we had $5 million in inventory on hand, as compared to $2.5 million in inventory at June 30, 2007. It is important that we sell this inventory during fiscal 2009, so we have sufficient cash flow for operations.

OUR GROSS PROFIT MARGINS HAVE DECREASED OVER THE PAST YEAR AND WE EXPECT A COMPETITIVE MARKET.

Over the past year, our gross profit margins have generally decreased due to the competition except for fiscal 2005 when we had developed several new models, which were in demand and yielded higher profit margins. We expect that our gross profit margin might decrease under downward pressure in fiscal 2009 because of currency fluctuations, increasing labor costs and the increasing cost of petroleum based raw materials and services which are affecting the entire market segment.

OUR BUSINESS IS SEASONAL AND THEREFORE OUR ANNUAL OPERATING RESULTS WILL DEPEND, IN LARGE PART, ON OUR SALES DURING THE RELATIVELY BRIEF HOLIDAY SEASON.

Sales of consumer electronics and toy products in the retail channel are highly seasonal, with a majority of retail sales occurring during the period from September through December in anticipation of the holiday season, which includes Christmas. A substantial majority of our sales occur during our second quarter ending September 30 and third quarter ending December 31. Sales in our second and third quarter, combined, accounted for approximately 87.0% and 94.0% of net sales in fiscal 2008 and 2007 respectively.

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO COMPETE IN THE KARAOKE PRODUCTS CATEGORY, OUR REVENUES AND NET PROFITABILITY WILL BE REDUCED.

Our major competitors for karaoke machines and related products are Memorex and GPX. We believe that competition for karaoke machines is based primarily on price, product features, reputation, delivery times, and customer support. Our primary competitors for producing karaoke music are Compass, Pocket Songs, Sybersound, UAV and Sound Choice. We believe that competition for karaoke music is based primarily on popularity of song titles, price, reputation, and delivery times. To the extent that we lower prices to attempt to enhance or retain market share, we may adversely impact our operating margins. Conversely, if we opt not to match competitor's price reductions we may lose market share, resulting in decreased volume and revenue. To the extent our leading competitors reduce prices on their karaoke machines and music; we must remain flexible to reduce our prices. If we are forced to reduce our prices, it will result in lower margins and reduced profitability. Because of intense competition in the karaoke industry in the United States during fiscal 2008, we expect that the intense pricing pressure in the low end of the market will continue in the karaoke market in the United States in fiscal 2009. In addition, we must compete with all the other existing forms of entertainment including, but not limited to: motion pictures, video arcade games, home video games, theme parks, nightclubs, television, prerecorded tapes, CD's, and video cassettes.

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO DEVELOP NEW KARAOKE PRODUCTS, OUR REVENUES MAY NOT CONTINUE TO GROW.

The karaoke industry is characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product introductions and enhancements and ongoing customer demands for greater performance. In addition, the average selling price of any karaoke machine has historically decreased over its life, and we expect that trend to continue. As a result, our products may not be competitive if we fail to introduce new products or product enhancements that meet evolving customer demands. The development of new products is complex, and we may not be able to complete development in a timely manner. To introduce products on a timely basis, we must:

accurately define and design new products to meet market needs;

design features that continue to differentiate our products from those of our competitors;

transition our products to new manufacturing process technologies;

identify emerging technological trends in our target markets;

anticipate changes in end-user preferences with respect to our customers' products;

bring products to market on a timely basis at competitive prices; and

respond effectively to technological changes or product announcements by others.

We believe that we will need to continue to enhance our karaoke machines and develop new machines to keep pace with competitive and technological developments and to achieve market acceptance for our products. At the same time, we need to identify and develop other products which may be different from karaoke machines.

OUR PRODUCTS ARE SHIPPED FROM CHINA AND ANY DISRUPTION OF SHIPPING COULD PREVENT OR DELAY OUR CUSTOMERS' RECEIPT OF INVENTORY.

We rely principally on four contract ocean carriers to ship virtually all of the products that we import to our warehouse facility in City of Industry, California. Retailers that take delivery of our products in China rely on a variety of carriers to import those products. Any disruptions in shipping, whether in California or China, caused by labor strikes, other labor disputes, terrorism, and international incidents may prevent or delay our customers' receipt of inventory. If our customers do not receive their inventory on a timely basis, they may cancel their orders or return products to us. Consequently, our revenues and net income would be reduced.

OUR MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS ARE LOCATED IN THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA, SUBJECTING US TO RISKS COMMON IN INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS. IF THERE IS ANY PROBLEM WITH THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS, OUR REVENUES AND NET PROFITABILITY MAY BE REDUCED.

We are using eight factories in the People's Republic of China to manufacture our karaoke machines. These factories will be producing nearly all of our karaoke products in fiscal 2009. Our arrangements with these factories are subject to the risks of doing business abroad, such as import duties, trade restrictions, work stoppages, and foreign currency fluctuations, limitations on the repatriation of earnings and political instability, which could have an adverse impact on our business. Furthermore, we have limited control over the manufacturing processes. As a result, any difficulties encountered by our third-party manufacturers that result in product defects, production delays, cost overruns or the inability to fulfill orders on a timely basis could adversely affect our revenues, profitability and cash flow. Also, since we do not have written agreements with any of these factories, we are subject to additional uncertainty if the factories do not deliver products to us on a timely basis.

WE DEPEND ON THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS FOR PARTS FOR OUR KARAOKE MACHINES AND RELATED PRODUCTS, AND IF WE CANNOT OBTAIN SUPPLIES AS NEEDED, OUR OPERATIONS WILL BE SEVERELY DAMAGED.

Our growth and ability to meet customer demand depends in part on our capability to obtain timely deliveries of karaoke machines and our electronic products. We rely on third party suppliers to produce the parts and materials we use to manufacture and produce these products. If our suppliers are unable to provide our factories with the parts and supplies, we will be unable to produce our products. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to purchase the parts we need at reasonable prices or in a timely fashion. In the last several years, there have been shortages of certain chips that we use in our karaoke machines. If we are unable to anticipate any shortages of parts and materials in the future, we may experience severe production problems, which would impact our sales.

CONSUMER DISCRETIONARY SPENDING MAY AFFECT KARAOKE PURCHASES AND IS AFFECTED BY VARIOUS ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND CHANGES.

Our business and financial performance may be damaged more than most companies by adverse financial conditions affecting our business or by a general weakening of the economy. Purchases of karaoke machines and music are considered discretionary for consumers. Our success will therefore be influenced by a number of economic factors affecting discretionary and consumer spending, such as employment levels, business, interest rates, and taxation rates, all of which are not under our control. Additionally, other extraordinary events such as terrorist attacks or military engagements, which adversely affect the retail environment may restrict consumer spending and thereby adversely affect our sales growth and profitability.

WE MAY HAVE INFRINGED THE COPYRIGHTS OF CERTAIN MUSIC PUBLISHERS AND IF WE VIOLATE FEDERAL COPYRIGHT LAWS, WE WILL BE SUBJECT TO MONETARY PENALTIES.

Over the past several years, the Singing Machine (like its competitors) has received notices from certain music publishers alleging that the full range of necessary rights in their copyrighted works has not been properly licensed in order to sell those works as part of products known as “compact discs with graphics” ("CDG"s). CDG's are compact discs which contain the musical recordings of karaoke songs and graphics which contain the lyrics of the songs. Singing Machine has negotiated licenses with the complaining parties, or is in the process of settling such claims, with each one of the complaining copyright owners. As with any alleged copyright violations, unlicensed users may be subject to damages under the U.S. Copyright Act. Such damages and claims could have a negative effect on Singing Machine’s ability to sell its music products to its customers. This is the reason the Singing Machine pursues licenses so diligently.

WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO CLAIMS FROM THIRD PARTIES FOR UNAUTHORIZED USE OF THEIR PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY, COPYRIGHTS OR TRADE SECRETS AND ANY CLAIMS ASSERTED AGAINST US COULD AFFECT OUR NET PROFITABILITY.

We believe that we independently developed the technology used in our electronic and audio software products and that it does not infringe on the proprietary rights, copyrights or trade secrets of others. However, we cannot be sure that we have not infringed on the proprietary rights of third parties or those third parties will not make infringement violation claims against us. During fiscal 2000, Tanashin Denki, Ltd., a Japanese company that holds a patent on a cassette tape drive mechanism alleged that some of our karaoke machines violated their patents. We settled the matters with Tanashin in December 1999. Subsequently in December 2002, Tanashin again alleged that some of our karaoke machines violated their patents. We entered into another settlement agreement with them in May 2003. In addition to Tanashin, we could receive infringement claims from other third parties. Any infringement claims may have a negative effect on our profitability and financial condition.

WE ARE EXPOSED TO THE CREDIT RISK OF OUR CUSTOMERS, WHO ARE EXPERIENCING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES, AND IF THESE CUSTOMERS ARE UNABLE TO PAY US, OUR REVENUES AND PROFITABILITY WILL BE REDUCED.

We sell products to retailers, including department stores, lifestyle merchants, direct mail catalogs and showrooms, national chains, specialty stores, and warehouse clubs. Some of these retailers have engaged in leveraged buyouts or transactions in which they incurred a significant amount of debt, and operated under the protection of bankruptcy laws. Deterioration in the financial condition of our customers could result in bad debt expense to us and have a material adverse effect on our revenues and future profitability.

A DISRUPTION IN THE OPERATION OF OUR WAREHOUSE CENTERS IN CALIFORNIA OR FLORIDA COULD IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO DELIVER MERCHANDISE TO OUR CUSTOMERS, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR REVENUES AND PROFITABILITY.

A significant amount of our merchandise is shipped to our customers from one of our two warehouses, which are located in City of Industry, California, and Coconut Creek, Florida. Events such as fire or other catastrophic events, any malfunction or disruption of our centralized information systems or shipping problems may result in delays or disruptions in the timely distribution of merchandise to our customers, which could substantially decrease our revenues and profitability.

OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS COULD BE DISRUPTED IF THERE ARE LABOR PROBLEMS ON THE WEST COAST.

During fiscal 2008, approximately 49.0% of our sales were domestic warehouse sales, which were made from our warehouses in California and Florida. During the third quarter of fiscal 2003, the dock strike on the West Coast affected sales of two of our karaoke products and we estimate that we lost between $3 and $5 million in orders because we could not get the containers of these products off the pier. If another strike or work slow-down occurs and we do not have a sufficient level of inventory, a strike or work slow-down would result in increased costs to us and may reduce our profitability.

CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK

During fiscal year 2008, the Chinese local currency has had no material effect on the value of the US dollar as Chinese local currency is pegged to the US dollar.

INCREASED RAW MATERIAL/PRODUCTION PRICING

The fluctuations in the price of oil has and will continue to affect the Company in connection the sourcing and utilizing petroleum based raw materials and services. The cost of trans-oceanic shipping, plastic and the like are driving up the price our suppliers charge us for finished goods. Also, the there have been a series of labor related regulations instituted in China which impact wages and thus the cost of production which may result in our suppliers demanding higher prices for our finished goods. This issue is common to all companies in the same type of business and if the Company is not able to negotiate lower costs, or reduce other expenses, or pass on some or all of these price increases to our customers, our profit margin may be decreased.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR CAPITAL STRUCTURE

THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE VOLATILE WHICH MAY CAUSE INVESTORS TO LOSE ALL OR A PORTION OF THEIR INVESTMENT.

From December 1, 2004 through June 30, 2008, our common stock has traded between a high of $1.60 and a low of $0.20. During this period, we had liquidity problems and incurred a net loss of $1.9 million in fiscal 2006 and loss of $3.6 million in fiscal 2005. Our stock price may continue to be volatile based on similar or other adverse developments in our business. In addition, the stock market periodically experiences significant adverse price and volume fluctuations which may be unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies.

IF INVESTORS SHORT OUR SECURITIES, IT MAY CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE TO DECLINE.

During the past year, a number of investors have held a short position in our common stock. As of June 30, 2008, investors held a short position of approximately 30,200 shares of our common stock which represented 0.1% of our public float. The anticipated downward pressure on our stock price due to actual or anticipated sales of our stock by some institutions or individuals who engage in short sales of our common stock could cause our stock price to decline. Additionally, if our stock price declines, it may be more difficult for us to raise capital

OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE DELISTED FROM THE AMERICAN STOCK EXCHANGE, WHICH MAY HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE IMPACT ON THE PRICING AND TRADING OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

On September 6, 2006, we received notice from The American Stock Exchange (the "Amex") that we had fallen below the continued listing standards of the Amex and that its listing is being continued pursuant to an extension. Specifically, for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, we were not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Amex Company Guide with shareholders' equity of less than $4,000,000 and net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years. We were successful in exercising a turnaround plan and on March 28, 2008, received a notice from Amex stating that the Singing Machine had resolved the aforementioned listing deficiency and was restored to its full listing status. Amex has fully re-listed us as a member in good-standing; however we still need to remain in compliance with Amex Company Guide Section 1009(h). If we fail to remain in good standing, there is still a possibility of delisting. If our common stock is removed from listing on Amex, it may become more difficult for us to raise funds through the sales of our common stock or securities.

IF OUR OUTSTANDING DERIVATIVE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISED OR CONVERTED, OUR EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS WILL SUFFER DILUTION.

As of June 30, 2008, there were outstanding stock options to purchase an aggregate of 925,215 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.32 to $9.00 per share, not all of which are immediately exercisable. The weighted average exercise price of the outstanding stock options is approximately $.75 per share. As of June 30, 2007, there were outstanding and immediately exercisable options to purchase an aggregate of 1,240,375. There were outstanding stock warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $.28 to $.35 per share, all of which are exercisable. The weighted average exercise price of the outstanding stock warrants is approximately $0.315 per share.

FUTURE SALES OF OUR COMMON STOCK HELD BY CURRENT STOCKHOLDERS AND INVESTORS MAY DEPRESS OUR STOCK PRICE.

As of August 4, 2008 there were 32,698,876 shares of our common stock outstanding. We have filed two registration statements registering an aggregate 3,794,250 of shares of our common stock (a registration statement on Form S-8 to register the sale of 1,844,250 shares underlying options granted under our 1994 Stock Option Plan and a registration statement on Form S-8 to register 1,950,000 shares of our common stock underlying options granted under our Year 2001 Stock Option Plan). An additional registration statement on Form S-1 was filed in October 2003, registering an aggregate of 2,795,465 shares of our common stock. The market price of our common stock could drop due to the sale of large number of shares of our common stock, such as the shares sold pursuant to the registration statements or under Rule 144, or the perception that these sales could occur.

OUR STOCK PRICE MAY DECREASE IF WE ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock as amended in January 2006. As of June 30, 2008 we had 32,698,876 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and an aggregate of 3,425,215 shares issuable under our outstanding options and warrants. As such, our Board of Directors has the power, without stockholder approval, to issue up to 64,732,757 shares of common stock.

Any issuance of additional shares of common stock, whether by us to new stockholders or the exercise of outstanding warrants or options, may result in a reduction of the book value or market price of our outstanding common stock. Issuance of additional shares will reduce the proportionate ownership and voting power of our then existing stockholders.

PROVISIONS IN OUR CHARTER DOCUMENTS AND DELAWARE LAW MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR A THIRD PARTY TO ACQUIRE OUR COMPANY AND COULD DEPRESS THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

Delaware law and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could delay, defer or prevent a change in control of our Company or a change in our management. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions. These provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation include: authorizing our board of directors to issue additional preferred stock, limiting the persons who may call special meetings of stockholders, and establishing advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted on by stockholders at stockholder meetings.

IF WE FAIL TO MAINTAIN EFFECTIVE INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING, THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

Our internal controls over financial reporting have weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed, the disclosure of which may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock. We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, our management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting has identified weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting, disclosure of our management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure of our public accounting firm’s attestation to or report on management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.

THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY SEVERAL FACTORS.

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

◦	our ability to execute our business plan;

◦	operating results below expectations;

◦	loss of any strategic relationship;

◦	industry developments;

◦	economic and other external factors; and

◦	period-to-period fluctuations in its financial results.

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

WE HAVE NOT PAID CASH DIVIDENDS IN THE PAST AND DO NOT EXPECT TO PAY CASH DIVIDENDS IN THE FUTURE. ANY RETURN ON INVESTMENT MAY BE LIMITED TO THE VALUE OF OUR STOCK.

We have never paid cash dividends on our stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of cash dividends on our stock will depend on our earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay cash dividends, our stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.
