PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

The Singing Machine Company, Inc., doing business as SMC Global, (“Company,” “Singing Machine,” “we,” “us,” or, “our”) is engaged in the development, production, marketing and distribution of consumer karaoke audio equipment, accessories, music, musical instruments, and licensed youth electronic products. We contract for the manufacturing of all our electronic equipment products with factories located in China. We have also collaborated with a music download service provider for an expanded library of musical selections. This collaboration provides the Company with not only an expanded library of music for sale and distribution; it opens up the Company’s music sales to customers who purchase our competitors’ karaoke machines as well. Further, the capabilities of the Company’s new download music distribution system includes the ability to stream selections from this expanded content library, creating the opportunity to open new revenue sources through the sale of subscriptions. The Company is also in the process of expanding its web presence by creating a hosted cyber-community where customers can upload their individual karaoke performances to share.

We were incorporated in California in 1982. We originally sold our products exclusively to professional and semi-professional singers. In 1988, we began marketing karaoke equipment for home use. We believe we are the first company to introduce the home karaoke products to the United States (“U.S.”). In May 1994, we merged into a wholly-owned subsidiary incorporated in Delaware with the same name. As a result of that merger the Delaware corporation became the successor to the business and operations of the California corporation and retained the name The Singing Machine Company, Inc. (“SMC”). In December 2005, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary SMC (Comercial Offshore De Macau) Limitada in Macau, China (“SMC Macau” or “Macau subsidiary”), to provide sales, financing, shipping, engineering and sourcing support for Singing Machine and Subsidiaries. Our Macau subsidiary has been approved to operate its business in Macau as Macau Offshore Company (MOC) and is exempt for the Macau corporate income tax. In February 2008, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary SMC Logistics, Inc. (“SMC-L”), a California corporation, to manage the U.S. domestic logistics and fulfillment warehouse servicing for the Company and in April 2008 a wholly-owned subsidiary, SMC Music, Inc. (“SMC-M”) to contract with third party music providers.

In November 1994, we closed an initial public offering of 2,070,000 shares of our common stock and 2,070,000 warrants. In April 1997, we filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On March 17, 1998, our plan of reorganization was approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. On June 10, 1998, our plan of reorganization had been fully implemented and we emerged from the reorganization proceeding. Since then, we have developed the karaoke products featuring on-screen lyric, built-in camera and digital key control functions.

We had been listed on the NYSE Amex Equities (“AMEX”) (formerly known as the American Stock Exchange) since March 8, 2001, however on June 22, 2009 we received notice from AMEX that it had determined that our common stock would be delisted and no longer traded on the exchange. Our board of directors decided that it would not in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to expend the financial resources necessary to appeal the decision and continue to be listed on AMEX. The Company believes that AMEX’s insistence that the Company perform a reverse stock split was subjective and did not consider the current economic turmoil in the global markets. Management also believes performing a reverse stock split would have significantly harmed the Company and diminished shareholder’s value. The Company elected not to appeal the decision and gained admission to the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) for the following reasons:

On July 6, 2009, the Company’s stock was suspended from trading on AMEX. The Company immediately applied for admission to the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) and subsequently began trading on the OTCBB on July 7, 2009 under the symbol “SMDM”.

Our principal executive offices are located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

We raised approximately $6 million in equity investments from investors in Hong Kong from February 2006 to June 2007. The investors include two major suppliers: koncepts International Limited (part of the Starlight International Holdings Ltd Group) and Arts Electronics Co., Ltd. We believe the investments from these major suppliers underscore their support to the Company.

koncepts International Limited (“koncepts”) is a major stockholder of the Company, owning approximately 49% of our shares of common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis as of March 31, 2014. koncepts is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Starlight International Holdings Limited (“Starlight International”), a company whose principal activities include designing, manufacturing and selling electronic products through its various subsidiaries. Starlight International’s products include television sets, consumer karaoke audio equipment and DVD products. We do business with a number of entities that are indirectly wholly-owned or majority owned subsidiaries of Starlight International, including Starlight Marketing Limited, Cosmo Communications Corporation, Starlite Consumer Electronics (USA), Inc., Starlight International Holdings Limited, and Treasure Green Holdings Limited, among others (Starlight International and its subsidiaries collectively referred to herein as the “Starlight Group”). On May 2, 2014 Starlight Industrial Holdings Limited transferred 940,476 shares of our common stock to Treasure Green Holdings Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Starlight International. In total, the Starlight Group owns approximately 52% of our shares of stock outstanding.

GROWTH STRATEGY

The overall objective of the Singing Machine is to create an efficient platform for the development, manufacture, and world-wide marketing and distribution of home entertainment based consumer electronics. The Company will also seek new revenue opportunities through hardware-based music content delivery and the creation of a community based entertainment platform. We also intend to leverage our position as an affiliate of the Starlight Group to capitalize on synergies which exist therein and to exercise our knowledge of the electronics business to grow revenue. The Company intends to leverage our valuable customer base and strong relationships with our factories to achieve our organic growth initiatives.

Organic Growth Strategy

We intend to pursue various initiatives to execute our organic growth strategy which is designed to enhance our market presence, expand our customer base and be an industry leader in new product development. Key elements of our organic growth strategy include:

Business Focus and Public Perceptions. Historically karaoke has been our core business. The Singing Machine brand is widely recognized as a leader in karaoke and consequently we hold a dominant market share in the business. While consistently a market leader, the Company has determined that it needs to diversify and expand its core focus in order to grow its business. The Company has therefore refocused its self-perception and is determined to build on its success by defining ourselves as a provider of quality in home entertainment – not just home karaoke. Critical to this strategy is a move to add value to our core business of karaoke machine sales. We believe that by tightly integrating our karaoke machine products with content such as Electronic Download, Streaming Media, Community Performance Hosting, and by creating quality, wholesome, home entertainment for the entire family we will not only sell more products, we will find new sources of revenue. Using our existing key relationships with our customers and factories, and by adding new relationships with key content providers, we believe we can achieve more top-line growth by utilizing these relationships to design and distribute a more diversified line of consumer electronics. This should allow our Company to reduce our dependency on a single karaoke product and minimize our exposure to the volatility of the karaoke market in general.

Develop New Features For Karaoke Equipment. Hardware and software technology advancement in the karaoke market has been stagnant since early 2000. We believe that in order to revitalize the karaoke market, we need to incorporate new features and technologies that take advantage of our online karaoke music download store. We are currently developing new karaoke products which will host a number of unique features which we believe will diversify us from the rest of the industry. We are currently developing a new feature set for our karaoke machines that will introduce first-to-market karaoke machines that can stream high-definition karaoke videos directly to our Singing Machines. Through a partnership with Montreal based, boutique design firm, Pearl Studios, we are also working on future projects which involve new, proprietary features which should expand the horizon of home karaoke. We have been working with Pearl Studios and other technology partners with strong research and development skills to bring these new concepts and devices to life. We believe the development of new products will not only reinforce our leadership position in the karaoke market, but will lead to increased sales and other opportunities which will remake the Company into a purveyor of quality in-home entertainment instead of simply being a supplier of single sale electronic devices.

Focus On International Growth. We believe that we have the most karaoke product offerings of any of our competitors in the karaoke market. We will aggressively pursue international business outside of North America to capture a vastly untapped market for home karaoke. Through economies of scale and financed on a direct import basis, we believe this is one of the major areas in which we can substantially increase our revenues.

Develop Karaoke Hardware That Interfaces With Our Music Download Store. Downloading music is one of the fastest growing areas in the music industry. We believe that the future of karaoke music distribution is through legal mediums of internet download sites (e.g. iTunes, Amazon, etc). Since karaoke music only accounts for a small percentage of total music business, retailers usually only offer a limited selection of karaoke products. Thus, it is difficult for customers to find karaoke music in retail outlets, especially for the songs they enjoy. In addition to maintaining a physical CD distribution business, we launched a music download project three years ago to capitalize on this new distribution model. The benefits to the Company are multifaceted including the opportunity to: offer downloadable music which means less physical inventory for the Company and our retail customers to carry; reduce financial return risk since a downloaded piece of karaoke music is not returnable; make available increased marketing opportunities by offering downloads for those who sign up and provide their contact information enabling the Company to create future marketing and advertising campaigns; create an opportunity to sell our karaoke music to not only our customers but also to owners of our competitors’ machines (new and old); create cross-promotions with our retail-customers by giving away music downloads to purchasers of karaoke machines as an incentive to sell more machines.

Exploit Synergies from Within the Starlight Group. We are always looking to increase profitability or revenue through synergy recognition. The Company has recognized an opportunity to offer our existing warehouse and logistics services to the Starlight Group for a fee. The fee arrangement represents a significant expense reimbursement opportunity for the Company. Not only does the Starlight Group get a partner for its domestic U.S. warehousing and logistics, we get service fees which defray the cost of our own historical warehouse expense. We are currently exploring other synergies including customer representative relationships, customer service functions and accounting services. These opportunities may lead to new top line revenue growth and enhanced profitability.

Expand Logistics Services To Third-Party Companies. We feel our expertise in logistics is a strength of the Company. We plan to seek new third-party customers that also distribute to mass-market retailers and handle their warehousing and logistics services with us in order to reduce our own overall logistics costs. We feel we can grow this additional service revenue with little additional investment or expenses.

PRODUCT LINES

We currently have three different product lines which consist in total of over 50 different models. The product lines consist of the following:

MARKETING, SALES

Our karaoke machines and music are sold nationally and internationally to a broad spectrum of customers, primarily through mass merchandisers, department stores, direct mail catalogs and showrooms, music and record stores, national chains, specialty stores and warehouse clubs. Our product lines are currently sold by the following retailers, among others: Costco, Target, Toys R’ Us, Best Buy, Wal-Mart.com and Amazon.com. Our sales strategy includes offering domestic sales as well as direct import sales made direct to the customer.

Domestic Sales. Our strategy of selling products from a domestic warehouse enables us to provide timely delivery and serve as a domestic supplier of imported goods. We purchase karaoke machines overseas from certain factories in China for our own account, and warehouse the products in leased facilities in California. We are responsible for costs of shipping, insurance, customs clearance, duties, storage and distribution related to such products and, therefore, domestic sales command higher sales prices than direct sales. We generally sell from our own inventory in less than container-sized lots.

Direct Sales. We ship some hardware products sold by us directly to customers from China through SMC Macau. Sales made through our subsidiary are completed by either delivering products to the customers' common carriers at the shipping point or by shipping the products to the customers' distribution centers, warehouses, or stores. Direct sales are made in larger quantities (generally container sized lots) to customers' world wide, which pay SMC Macau pursuant to their own international, irrevocable, transferable letters of credit or on open account.

In fiscal 2014, approximately 30% of sales revenues were from direct sales and 70% of revenues were domestic sales. Our sales within the U.S. are primarily made by our in-house sales team and our independent sales representatives. Our independent sales representatives are paid a commission based upon sales made in their respective territories. We utilize some of our outside independent sales representatives to help us provide service to our mass merchandisers and other retailers. The sales representative agreements are generally one (1) year agreements, which automatically renew on an annual basis, unless terminated by either party on 30 days' notice. Our international sales are primarily made by our in-house sales representatives and our independent distributors.

As a percentage of total revenues, our net sales in the aggregate to our five largest customers during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, were approximately 74%, 66%, and 70%, respectively. In fiscal 2014, the top three major customers accounted for 26%, 17% and 11% of our net revenues. Although we have long-established relationships with all of our customers, we do not have quantity contractual arrangements with any of them. A decrease in business or a loss of any of our major customers could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We also market our products at various national and international trade shows each year. We regularly attend the following trade shows and conventions: the Consumer Electronics Show which takes place each January in Las Vegas; the American Toy Fair which occurs each February in New York and the Hong Kong Electronics Show stages each October in Hong Kong.

We believe the Singing Machine brand is one of the most widely recognized karaoke brands in the United States and Europe. While we continue to heavily focus on our core karaoke business, we wish to expand our business into other product categories. Our strong product procurement team in Hong Kong and China combined with our experienced sales and service team in North America enables us to compete not only in the karaoke market but also in other markets, such as musical instruments, licensed toy products and other consumer electronics products.

RETURNS

Returns of electronic hardware and music products by our customers generally occur after approval involving quality defects, damaged goods or goods shipped in error. Our policy is to give credit to our customers for the returns in conjunction with the receipt of new replacement purchase orders. Our total returns represented 8.8%, 9.9%, and 8.7% of our net sales in fiscal 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.

DISTRIBUTION

We distribute hardware products to retailers and wholesale distributors through two methods: shipment of products from inventory held at our warehouse facilities in California (domestic sales), shipments directly through our Macau subsidiary, and manufacturers in China of products (direct sales). Domestic sales are made to customers located throughout North America from inventories maintained at our warehouse facilities in California. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, approximately 70% of our sales were sales from our domestic warehouses ("Domestic Sales") and 30% were sales shipped directly from China ("Direct Sales").

MANUFACTURING AND PRODUCTION

Our karaoke machines are manufactured and assembled by third parties pursuant to design specifications provided by us. Currently, we have ongoing relationships with six factories, located in Guangdong Province of the People's Republic of China, which assemble our karaoke machines. During fiscal 2015, we anticipate that 99% of our karaoke products will be produced by these factories, who have verbally agreed to extend financing to us. We believe that the manufacturing capacity of our factories is adequate to meet the demands for our products in fiscal year 2015. However, if our primary factory in China was prevented from manufacturing and delivering our karaoke products, our operation would be severely disrupted until alternative sources of supply are located. In manufacturing our karaoke related products, these factories use molds and certain other tooling, most of which are owned by us. Our products contain electronic components manufactured by other companies such as Panasonic, Sanyo, Toshiba, and Sony. Our manufacturers purchase and install these electronic components in our karaoke machines and related products. The finished products are packaged and labeled under our trademark, The Singing Machine^(R) and private labels.

While our equipment manufacturers purchase our supplies from a small number of large suppliers, all of the electronic components and raw materials used by us are available from several sources of supply. We depend on limited suppliers for some key components and the loss of any single supplier may have a material long-term adverse effect on our business, operations, or financial condition. To ensure that our high standards of product quality are met and that factories consistently meet our shipping schedules, we utilize Hong Kong and China based employees as our representatives. These employees include product inspectors who are knowledgeable about product specifications and work closely with the factories to verify that such specifications are met. Additionally, key personnel frequently visit our factories for quality assurance and to support good working relationships.

All of the electronic equipment sold by us is warranted to the end user against manufacturing defects for a period of ninety (90) days for labor and parts. All music sold is similarly warranted for a period of 30 days. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, warranty claims have not been material to our results of operations.

COMPETITION

Our business is highly competitive. Our major competitors for karaoke machines and related products are Memorex, GPX, Vivitar, Ion, Karaoke USA and other consumer electronics companies. We believe that competition for karaoke machines is based primarily on price, product features, reputation, delivery times, and customer support. We believe that our brand name is well recognized in the industry and helps us compete in the karaoke machine category. Our primary competitors for producing karaoke music are Sybersound, Smule, Karaoke Anywhere, and Red Karaoke. We believe that competition for karaoke music is based primarily on popularity of song titles, price, reputation, and delivery times. As far as the musical instrument market, our key competitors include Yamaha, ION, and others.

In addition, we compete with all other existing forms of entertainment including, but not limited to, motion pictures, video arcade games, home video games, theme parks, nightclubs, television and prerecorded tapes, CD's, and DVD’s. Our financial position depends, among other things, on our ability to keep pace with changes and developments in the entertainment industry and to respond to the requirements of our customers. Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial, marketing, and operating resources and broader product lines than we do.

TRADEMARKS AND PATENTS

We have obtained registered trademarks for The Singing Machine name and the logo in the U.S. and in the European Union. We have also filed trademark applications in Australia and Hong Kong. We also filed various trademarks for our products. In 2003 we also obtained two U.S. design patents for karaoke machines, patent numbers US D505,960 S and US D524,325 S which expire in 2017.

Our trademarks are a significant asset because they provide product recognition. We believe that our intellectual property is significantly protected, but there are no assurances that these rights can be successfully asserted in the future or will not be invalidated, circumvented or challenged.

COPYRIGHTS AND LICENSES

We no longer attempt to license or produce our own karaoke song library. We offer karaoke music through our Singing Machine Karaoke Download Store, Community, and iPhone/iPad App through a partnership with Stingray Digital (“Stingray”). Stingray holds all licensing agreements directly with the music publishers and is responsible for all royalty payments. We share a revenue split with Stingray on all karaoke videos streamed or downloaded by our customers. Stingray Digital is the leading multi-platform music service provider in the world, with more than 100 million subscribers in 113 countries around the world. Geared towards individuals and businesses alike, the company’s commercial entities include leading digital music and video services Galaxie, Music Choice International, Concert TV and The KARAOKE Channel. The company also offers various business solutions, including sensory marketing solutions via its Stingray360 division and music licensing services through Stingray Music.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

Our karaoke machines must meet the safety standards imposed in various national, state, local, and provincial jurisdictions. Our karaoke machines sold in the U.S. are designed, manufactured and tested to meet the safety standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. ("ULE") or Electronic Testing Laboratories ("ETL"). In Europe and other foreign countries, our products are manufactured to meet the Consumer Electronics (“CE”) marking requirements. CE marking is a mandatory European product marking and certification system for certain designated products. When affixed to a product and product packaging, CE marking indicates that a particular product complies with all applicable European product safety, health and environmental requirements within the CE marking system. Products complying with CE marking are now accepted to be safe in 28 European countries. However, ULE or ETL certification does not mean that a product complies with the product safety, health and environmental regulations contained in all fifty states in the United States. Therefore, we maintain a quality control program designed to ensure compliance with all applicable U.S. and federal laws pertaining to the sale of our products. Our production and sale of music products is subject to federal copyright laws.

The manufacturing operations of our foreign suppliers in China are subject to foreign regulation. China has permanent "normal trade relations" ("NTR") status under U.S. tariff laws, which provides a favorable category of U.S. import duties. China's NTR status became permanent on January 1, 2002. This substantially reduces the possibility of China losing its NTR status, which would result in increasing costs for us.

SEASONALITY AND SEASONAL FINANCING

Our business is highly seasonal, with consumers making a large percentage of karaoke purchases around the traditional holiday season in our second and third quarter ending September 30 and December 31. These seasonal purchasing patterns and requisite production lead times cause risk to our business associated with the underproduction or overproduction of products that do not match consumer demand. Retailers also attempt to manage their inventories more tightly, requiring that we ship products closer to the time that retailers expect to sell the products to consumers. These factors increase the risk that we may not be able to meet demand for certain products at peak demand times, or that our own inventory levels may be adversely affected by the need to pre-build products before orders are placed. As of March 31, 2014, we had inventory of $5.8 million (net of reserves totaling $638,000) compared to inventory of $4.1 million as of March 31, 2013 (net of reserves totaling $503,000).

Our financing of seasonal working capital during fiscal 2014 was from an Accounts Receivable Ledgered Line of Credit Facility (“line of credit”) with Crestmark Bank and vendor related-party extended accounts payable terms from our affiliate, Starlight International. The line of credit expires on October 12, 2014. We have been actively negotiating with several banks to obtain an asset based lending arrangement for a line of credit of up to $15,000,000 to replace the current financing arrangement. We anticipate Starlight International, will continue to provide extended payment terms to the Company through March 31, 2015.

During Fiscal 2015, we plan on financing our inventory purchases by borrowing on our line of credit, using credit lines that have been extended to us by the factories in China and extended accounts payable terms provided by our affiliate, Starlight International.

EMPLOYEES

As of June 30, 2014 we employed 26 people, of whom 25 are full-time employees. Two of our employees are located at SMC Macau’s offices and the remaining employees are based in the U.S. Our employees include 3 executive officers, 12 engaged in warehousing and administrative logistics/technical support and 11 in accounting, marketing, sales and administrative functions.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Set forth below and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the other documents we file with the SEC are risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward looking statements contained in this Annual Report.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR BUSINESS

WE HAVE ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH OUR AFFILIATES, STARLITE CONSUMER ELECTRONICS (USA), INC., AND STARLIGHT ELECTRONICS USA, INC. 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 April 1, 2014 we entered into a services agreement to receive orders, warehouse, and ship all of the Starlight Group’s U.S. domestic goods. The value of this contract was approximately $180,000 per year. If we are unable to perform the duties under this contract or successfully renew it for fiscal year 2016, it could negatively impact our revenue and cash flow.

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 years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were approximately 74% and 66%, 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 OUR AFFILIATE COMPANIES TO MANUFACTURE AND PRODUCE OUR PEDESTAL KARAOKE MACHINES FOR FISCAL 2015, AND IF THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR FACTORY IS DAMAGED OR INJURED IN ANY WAY, IT WOULD REDUCE OUR REVENUES AND PROFITABILITY.

We have worked out an agreement with Starlight Consumer Electronics USA, Inc. (and affiliate company) in China to produce our pedestal karaoke machines for fiscal 2015. If the factory is 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 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 2014 and 2013, a number of our customers and distributors returned karaoke products that they had purchased from us. Our customers returned goods valued at $2.8 million or 8.0% of our gross sales in fiscal 2014 and $3.4 million or 8.8% of our gross sales in fiscal 2013. The majority of the units returned are due to product defects. Our factories charge customary repair and freight costs which increase our expenses and reduce profitability. 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, 2014, we had no sales to customers in Europe because of increased price competition and unfavorable economic conditions. 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 $845,000 during fiscal 2014 and $1,467,000 during fiscal 2013. 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. In past years we have overestimated demand for our products which led to excess inventory in some of our products and caused liquidity problems that adversely affected our revenues, net income and cash flow.

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 of the order and the delivery date, which reduces our cash flow. As of March 31, 2014 we had $5.8 million in inventory on hand. It is important that we sell this inventory during fiscal 2015, so we have sufficient cash flow for operations.

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 the second quarter ending September 30 and the third quarter ending December 31. Sales in our second and third quarter, combined, accounted for approximately 88.1%, 90.0%, and 87.7% of net sales in fiscal 2014, 2013, and 2012, 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, Karaoke USA and GPX. We believe that competition for karaoke machines is based primarily on price, product features, reputation, delivery times, and customer support. 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, 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 2014, 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 2015. 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 DVD’s.

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:

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 Ontario, 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 and our results of operations adversely affected.

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 six factories in the People's Republic of China to manufacture the majority of our karaoke machines. These factories will be producing nearly all of our karaoke products in fiscal 2015. 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 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, such as K-Mart, FAO Schwarz and KB Toys, have engaged in leveraged buyouts or transactions in which they incurred a significant amount of debt, and operated under the protection of bankruptcy laws. As of June 30, 2014 we are not aware of any customers which are operating 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 CENTER IN CALIFORNIA 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 our warehouse located in Ontario, California. 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.

CURRENT LEVELS OF SECURITIES AND FINANCIAL MARKET RISK.

During the past twelve months, the securities and financial markets have stabilized and our improved financial condition and results of operations have allowed us to obtain traditional financing with Crestmark Bank. Should there be a disruption in the current levels of these markets or a deterioration of our business, there can be no assurance that we will not experience an adverse effect, which may be material, on our ability to access capital and on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK

The majority of our products are currently manufactured in the People’s Republic of China. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, the Chinese local currency had no material effect on the Company as all of our purchases are denominated in U.S. currency. However, in the event our purchases are required to be made in Chinese local currency, the Yuan, we will be subject to the risks involved in foreign exchange rates. In the future the value of the Yuan may depend to a large extent on the Chinese government’s policies and China’s domestic and international economic and political developments. As a result, our production costs may increase if we are required to make purchases using the Yuan instead of the U.S. dollar and the value of the Yuan increases over time. Any significant increase in the cost of manufacturing our products would have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

INCREASED RAW MATERIAL/PRODUCTION PRICING

The fluctuations in the price of oil has and will continue to affect the Company in connection with the sourcing and utilizing of 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, 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, 2005 through March 31, 2014, our common stock has traded between a high of $1.57 and a low of $0.02. During this period, we incurred a net loss of $0.6 million in Fiscal 2011, a net loss of $3.1 million in Fiscal 2010, 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 OUR OUTSTANDING DERIVATIVE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISED OR CONVERTED, OUR EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS WILL SUFFER DILUTION.

As of March 31, 2014, there were outstanding stock options to purchase an aggregate of 1,896,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.03 to $0.93 per share, not all of which are immediately exercisable. The weighted average exercise price of the outstanding stock options is approximately $0.21 per share. As of March 31, 2013, there were outstanding and immediately exercisable options to purchase an aggregate of 1,307,380 shares of common stock.

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

As of June 30, 2014 there were 38,070,642 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, as amended in January 2006, authorizes the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2014, we had 38,070,642 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and an aggregate of 1,896,000 shares issuable under our outstanding stock options. As such, our Board of Directors has the power, without stockholder approval, to issue up to 60,033,358 shares of common stock. Any issuance of additional shares of common stock, whether by us to new shareholders 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 shareholders.

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 shareholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions. These provisions of our certificate of incorporation include: authorizing our board of directors to issue additional preferred stock, limiting the persons who may call special meetings of shareholders, and establishing advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted on by shareholders at shareholder meetings.

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

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. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure of our 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:

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.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Our corporate headquarters are located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida where we lease approximately 4,000 square feet of office space. The lease expires on December 31, 2016. The annual rental expense for office facilities was $105,044 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014.

On March 8, 2013 we executed a new lease for approximately 86,000 square feet of warehouse space in Ontario, California which commenced on June 1, 2013. The lease will expire on August 31, 2020 (term of 87 months) and includes a provision for the abatement of the first three months base rent in the amount of $113,412. The annual rental expense for warehouse facilities was approximately $495,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 which included rent expense in the amount of approximately $242,000 for our previous 90,000 square foot warehouse facility in the City of Industry, CA whose lease expired on April 30, 2013. We negotiated a short lease extension of the former warehouse lease through July 31, 2013 until we were completely moved into our new facility in Ontario, CA.

We lease a 424 square foot office in Macau. The annual rent expense for this facility was $11,538 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. On May 1, 2014 we renewed our office space lease in Macau for an additional two year term which ends April 30, 2016. The annul rent is fixed at $10,000 per year for the entire term of the lease.

We believe that the facilities are well maintained, in substantial compliance with environmental laws and regulations, and adequately covered by insurance. We also believe that these leased facilities are not unique and could be replaced, if necessary, at the end of the term of the existing leases.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes filed herewith. Our fiscal year ends March 31. This document contains certain forward-looking statements regarding anticipated trends in our financial condition and results of operations and our business strategy. (See Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors "). These forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Important factors to consider in evaluating such forward-looking statements include (i) changes in external factors or in our internal budgeting process which might impact trends in our results of operations; (ii) unanticipated working capital or other cash requirements; (iii) changes in our business strategy or an inability to execute our strategy due to unanticipated changes in the industries in which we operate; and (iv) various competitive market factors that may prevent us from competing successfully in the marketplace.

Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements relating to our plans, strategies, objectives, expectations and intentions. Words such as “believes,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “possible,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “plans,” “should,” “could,” “will,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict or project future results or the effect of events on our operating results is inherently uncertain. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved.

OVERVIEW

Our primary objectives for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 (“Fiscal 2014”) were to:

We fell short of most of our revenue and operating cost objectives during the year primarily due to the 8.9% decrease in net sales. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to one of our China factories failing a vendor’s plant inspection, optimization of existing karaoke stock levels at one major retailer and missed opportunities due to late deliveries from other vendors. Gross profit margins decreased by .8 percentage points to 22.6%, of which approximately .5 percentage points or 63% of the decrease was due to increased reserves required for excess and closeout inventory, and the remaining decrease was primarily due to one retail customer who changed their shipping terms to collect from prepaid which reduced our selling price and margin for them. However, this margin loss was partially offset by reduced outbound freight costs in operating expenses for approximately the same amount of the revenue reduction. We anticipate our reserve requirements for excess and closeout inventory to decrease in fiscal 2015. Operating expenses increased approximately $329,000 primarily due to one-time costs associated with the introduction of the Home product as well as the reduction of reimbursement of logistics expenses from our affiliate companies due to the decrease in their US business. Depreciation expense increased by approximately $58,000 as we began to depreciate capitalized development and tooling costs associated with the Home product that was introduced to the market in late November.

We continued to utilize financing from Crestmark Bank which significantly reduced our requirement for extended terms from the Starlight group companies (“Group”). During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, our net related party debt increased by approximately $346,000 due to current trade invoices due to the Group. We anticipate that we may require approximately $400,000 to $500,000 of short-term bridge financing from the Group for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015 during the negotiations of our refinancing. We will continue to rely on the Group to provide extended terms for trade payables with the Group to help ensure timely payment of other vendors. Taking into account internally generated funds and credit facilities available to the Group, we have concluded that our parent will have sufficient working capital to provide the required bridge financing and extended trade payable terms to us for at least the next 12 months.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain income and expense items expressed as a percentage of the Company's total revenues:

FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2014 COMPARED WITH FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2013

NET SALES

Net sales for the year ended March 31, 2014 (“Fiscal 2014”) were approximately $31.4 million. This represents a decrease of approximately $3.0 million as compared to approximately $34.4 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 (“Fiscal 2013”). The decrease in net sales was primarily due from a decrease of approximately $0.7 million with one major retailer due to a vendor inspection failure of one of our factories as well as a decrease of approximately $2.1 million with another major retail customer who increased their stock levels in the prior year due to switching from a seasonal program to carrying our karaoke products year-round. The remaining $0.2 million decrease was primarily due to lost opportunities from late shipments and delays from some of our product vendors.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for Fiscal 2014 was approximately $7.1 million or 22.6% of total revenues compared to approximately $8.1 million or 23.4% of sales for Fiscal 2013 (a decrease of $1.0 million). The 12.3% decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the decrease in net sales as explained in Net Sales above.

Gross profit margin for the year ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period ended March 31, 2013 decreased by approximately 0.8 margin points from 23.4% to 22.6%. The decrease was primarily due to increased inventory reserves required for excess and closeout inventory which accounted for approximately .5% of the decrease with the remaining decrease primarily due to one retail customer who changed their shipping terms to collect from prepaid which reduced our selling price and margin to them. This margin loss was offset by reduced operating expenses for outbound freight costs for approximately the same amount of the revenue reduction.

OPERATING EXPENSES

In fiscal year 2014, our operating expenses, including depreciation, increased from approximately $6.5 million to approximately $6.8 million, an increase of approximately $0.3 million or 4.4% compared to the same period last year. Selling expenses decreased approximately $0.7 million to $2.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2014 from $3.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2013. Advertising allowance decreased approximately $0.9 million due to an allowance decrease of approximately $0.2 million to one major retail customer that did not execute a planned two-day promotion as agreed to in their co-op advertising program, another major retail customer refunding approximately $0.3 million of prior excess co-op advertising deductions, a co-op advertising reduction of approximately $0.2 million with another major retailer and the remaining decrease commensurate with the decrease in net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. This decrease in advertising allowance expense was offset with an increase in marketing expenses of approximately $0.4 million due primarily to one-time expenses associated with the rollout of the Home product. The remaining $0.2 million reduction in selling expenses is due to a reduction in other variable selling expenses such as commissions, freight, royalties commensurate with the decrease in net sales.

General and administrative expenses increased approximately $1.0 million from approximately $3.3 million in Fiscal 2013 to approximately $4.3 million in Fiscal 2014. The increase was primarily due to reduced warehouse reimbursements from the Starlight group companies of approximately $0.3 million, increase in factor fees from Crestmark Bank financing arrangement of approximately $0.1 million, an increase in key employee stock option expense of approximately $0.1 million, increased R&D and sample expenses associated with the introduction of the Home product of approximately $0.2 million, increase in stock warrant compensation for investment banker fees of approximately $0.1 million and increased defective product repair charges of approximately $0.1 million. The remaining increase of approximately $0.1 million increase was due to various other variable expenses incurred.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

Our depreciation and amortization expenses were $168,138 for Fiscal 2014 compared to $110,267 for Fiscal 2013. The property and equipment consisted mainly of tools and molds and Home development costs which are depreciated straight-line over three to five years. The increase in depreciation expense was primarily due to the commencement of depreciation of the Home development and tooling commensurate with the product’s introduction to the market in November 2013. During the past year we have invested in approximately $145,000 in development and tooling for the Home product and approximately $106,000 in warehouse equipment, computers and other office equipment.

NET OTHER INCOME (EXPENSES)

Other expense was $53,446 (interest expense) in Fiscal 2014 compared to other expense of $48,421 (interest expense) in Fiscal 2013. The increase was primarily due to the increase of our borrowing costs from our financing arrangement with Crestmark Bank.

INCOME BEFORE TAXES

We had income before taxes of $225,519 in Fiscal 2014 compared to income before taxes of $1,521,476 in Fiscal 2013. This decrease of $1,295,957 was primarily due to the combination of the decrease in gross profit of approximately $962,000 due to the decrease in sales and gross profit margin as explained in Net Sales and Gross Profit above and the increase in operating expenses of approximately $329,000 as explained in Operating Expenses above.

INCOME TAX BENEFIT

Significant management judgment is required in developing our provisions for income taxes, including the determination of foreign tax liabilities, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowances that might be required against 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 not likely to be realized. On March 31, 2014 and 2013, we had gross deferred tax assets of approximately $3.2 million and approximately $3.2 million, against which we recorded valuation allowances totaling approximately $0.8 million and approximately $1.6 million, respectively.

For Fiscal 2014 we recognized an income tax benefit of approximately $0.8 million due to the reduction of the valuation reserve on our deferred tax assets. Given the past three years of profitability and management’s assessment of the current business climate and expected future profits, it is management’s judgment that at least 75% of our deferred tax asset is more than likely to be realized. In Fiscal 2013 we recognized an income tax benefit of approximately $1.6 million due to the reversal of 50% of the valuation reserve on our deferred tax assets.

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 income taxes have been made.

NET INCOME

As a result of the foregoing, we had net income of $1,004,316 in Fiscal 2014 from operations as compared to a net income of $3,140,935 in Fiscal 2013.

FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2013 COMPARED WITH FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2012

NET SALES

Net sales for the year ended March 31, 2013 (“Fiscal 2013”) were approximately $34.4 million. This represents an increase of approximately $8.5 million as compared to approximately $25.9 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 (“Fiscal 2012”). The increase in net sales was primarily due to an increase in direct import sales to two major retail customers of approximately $6.0 million and continued growth of approximately $2.2 million from our direct shipment fulfillment program for major retailers with the remaining increase due to new business with smaller retail customers. We continue to develop additional features to our existing karaoke line as well as develop new karaoke technology and product line to maintain and grow this core product.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for Fiscal 2013 was approximately $8.1 million or 23.4% of total revenues compared to approximately $5.7 million or 21.8% of sales for Fiscal 2012 (an increase of $2.4 million). The 43% increase in gross profit was primarily due to the increase of direct import sales to two major North American customers and the 144% increase in direct shipment fulfillment program. The increase in sales accounted for approximately 79% of the gross profit increase with the remaining 21% due to an increase in gross profit margin.

Gross profit margin for the year ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period ended March 31, 2012 increased by approximately 1.6 margin points from 21.8% to 23.4%. The increase was primarily due to increased direct import sales to two major retail customers and favorable mix of products sold that accounted for substantially all of the increase.

OPERATING EXPENSES

In fiscal year 2013, we continued to reduce our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of sales while maintaining the increase in variable expenses commensurate with the increase in net sales. Operating expenses, including depreciation and amortization increased from approximately $5.2 million to approximately $6.5 million, an increase of approximately $1.3 million or 25% compared to the same period last year. Selling expenses increased approximately $0.6 million to $3.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2013 from approximately $2.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2012. Selling expenses which include variable expenses such as commissions, advertising allowances, outbound freight and royalties increased by approximately 25% which directly related to the 33% increase in net sales.

General and administrative expenses increased approximately $0.8 million from approximately $2.5 million in Fiscal 2012 to approximately $3.3 million in Fiscal 2013. The increase was primarily due to reduced warehouse reimbursements from the Starlight group companies of approximately $0.4 million, factor fees from Crestmark Bank financing arrangement of approximately $0.1 million and an increase in salaries and wages of approximately $0.1 million for merit increases and discretionary bonus payments. The remaining $0.2 million increase was due to several expense items that were somewhat variable relative to the increase in net sales. Despite the approximate 30% increase in general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, we reduced our fixed general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales from 9.8% in the prior fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 to 9.6% for the current fiscal year ended March 31, 2013. We continued our efforts of reducing our administrative operating costs by increasing efficiencies in our business processes.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

Our depreciation and amortization expenses were $110,267 for Fiscal 2013 compared to $171,818 for Fiscal 2012. The property and equipment consisted mainly of tools and molds, which are depreciated straight-line over three to five years. The decrease in depreciation expense was primarily due to several tools and molds having reached the end of their depreciable lives. During the past year we have invested in approximately $254,000 in tooling for new karaoke models and technology and approximately $43,000 in warehouse equipment, computers and other office equipment.

NET OTHER INCOME (EXPENSES)

Other expense was $48,421 (interest expense) in Fiscal 2013 compared to other expense of $7,796 (interest expense) in Fiscal 2012. The increase was due to the increase of our borrowing costs from our financing arrangement with Crestmark Bank.

INCOME BEFORE TAXES

We had income before taxes of $1,521,476 in Fiscal 2013 compared to income before taxes of $463,116 in Fiscal 2012. This increase was primarily due to the combination of 33% increase in net sales due increased direct import sales to two major retailers and significant increase in our direct shipment fulfillment programs to North American customers, gross profit margin percentage improvement due to favorable sales mix, management’s continued efforts to reduce operating expenses as a percentage of net sales and decreased depreciation expenses due to molds and tooling having reached the end of their depreciable lives.

INCOME TAX BENEFIT

Significant management judgment is required in developing our provisions for income taxes, including the determination of foreign tax liabilities, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowances that might be required against 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 not likely to be realized. On March 31, 2013 and 2012, we had gross deferred tax assets of approximately $3.2 million and approximately $3.9 million, against which we recorded valuation allowances totaling approximately $1.6 million and approximately $3.9 million, respectively.

For Fiscal 2013 we recognized an income tax benefit of approximately $1.6 million due to the reversal of 50% of the valuation reserve on our deferred tax assets. Given the past two years of profitability and management’s assessment of the current business climate, it is management’s judgment that at least 50% of our deferred tax asset is more than likely to be realized. In Fiscal 2012 we did not record a provision for income taxes as the Company had sufficient net operating loss carryforwards to offset taxable income for the U.S. operations and the Macau subsidiary is exempt from income tax according to the Macau Offshore Company (MOC) regulations.

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 income taxes have been made.

NET INCOME

As a result of the foregoing, we had net income of $3,140,935 in Fiscal 2013 from operations as compared to a net income of $463,116 in Fiscal 2012.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On March 31, 2014, we had cash on hand of approximately $1,492,000 of which approximately $138,000 was restricted as collateral for a stand-by letter of credit as compared to cash on hand of approximately $1,653,000 with no restrictions as of March 31, 2013. The decrease of cash on hand was primarily due to the purchase of fixed assets of approximately $215,000 and payments on the capital lease for forklift trucks of approximately $11,000 offset by cash provided by operations of approximately $64,000.

Cash used in investing activities for Fiscal 2014 was approximately $353,000. Cash used in investing activities included a deposit of approximately $138,000 in a restricted certificate of deposit with Wells Fargo Bank as collateral for a stand-by letter of credit issued to Majestic Realty (new California warehouse’s landlord) as a security deposit required by the property lease. Cash used in investing activities also included approximately $145,000 in tooling for new karaoke models and technology and approximately $70,000 in warehouse equipment, computers and other office equipment.

Cash used in investing activities for Fiscal 2013 was approximately $297,000. Cash used in investing activities was primarily for the purchase of a base platform for our newly designed future karaoke hardware line of products as well as warehouse equipment for the new California warehouse facility.

As of March 31, 2014, our working capital was approximately $1,350,000. Our current liabilities of approximately $8,000,000 include:

As of June 30, 2014, our cash on hand is approximately $500,000 of which approximately $138,000 is restricted cash deposited in a Certificate of Deposit as collateral on a standby letter of credit issued as a security deposit on our new California warehouse lease. Our average monthly operating expenses are approximately $265,000 and we need approximately $800,000 to cover our operating expenses during the next three month period. Our primary expenses are normal operating costs including salaries, lease payments for our warehouse space in California and other operating costs.

WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS DURING THE SHORT AND LONG TERM

During the next twelve month period, we plan on financing our working capital needs from:

1) Vendor financing – Some of our key vendors in China (including The Starlight Group) have agreed to manufacture on behalf of the Company without advanced payments and have extended payment terms to the Company. The terms with the factories are sufficient to cover the factory direct sales and are expected to account for more than 30% of the total revenues in Fiscal 2015.

2) Line of Credit - The Company will continue to utilize the $5,000,000 collateralized line of credit during Fiscal 2015 which will reduce our reliance on key vendors providing us with extended payment terms for our goods. The Company is actively negotiating with several banks to obtain an asset based lending arrangement for a line of credit of up to $15,000,000 to replace the current financing arrangement.

3) Cost reduction - The Company has reduced significant operating expenses as a percentage of net sales in recent years with the exception of Fiscal 2014 where the company experienced some one-time charges associated with the launch of the Home product and additional logistics costs due to the reduction of reimbursement from The Starlight Group due to a decrease in their US business. Cost reduction initiatives are part of our intensive effort to achieve operating profits. The Company plans to maintain its cost structure and reduce some of the one-time expenses for Fiscal 2015.

4) Reduce cost of operation – The Company maintains SMC-L as a wholly-owned subsidiary to operate our California warehouse. For Fiscal 2015, SMC-L renewed an agreement with the Starlight Group to handle the logistics and fulfillment of Starlight Groups’ domestic products for a service fee. This arrangement is expected to offset some the Company’s own logistics expenses. Due to a significant reduction in the amount of logistics services performed for Starlight, the Company is actively seeking and has contracted with non-related clients to perform third-party logistics services for Fiscal 2015 in order to replace some of the reimbursements received from the Starlight Group. On June 11, 2014 SMC Logistics entered into two year logistics service agreement with Telasia, Inc. The agreement provides logistics, fulfillment, and warehousing services for Telasia’s domestic sales. The Company anticipates the revenue from the service agreement to be approximately $360,000 over the life of the agreement. In addition, the Company entered into a seven year lease agreement for a new warehouse facility in Ontario California replacing the existing facility lease that expired on April 30, 2013. The Company occupies approximately 86,000 square feet in the new facility however the cost per square foot has been substantially reduced and will save the Company approximately $200,000 in rent expense annually.

Our sources of cash for working capital in the long term are the same as our sources during the short term. If we need additional financing, we intend to approach different financing companies or insiders. However, we cannot guarantee that our financing plan will succeed. 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 continue our operations.

In addition to our current financing arrangements, the Starlight Group (“Group”) has expressed their willingness and ability to provide extended payment terms to us for key vendor payments primarily by extending longer payment terms for goods they manufacture for us. We anticipate that we may require approximately $400,000 to $500,000 of short-term bridge financing from the Group for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015 during the negotiations of our refinancing. We will continue to take advantage of extended terms for trade payables with the Group throughout the year. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, our net related party debt increased by approximately $346,000 primarily due to past due invoices for goods and defective repairs. Taking into account internally generated funds and credit facilities available to the Group we have concluded that our parent will have sufficient working capital to provide extended trade payable terms to us for at least the next 12 months.

During Fiscal 2015, we will strive to reduce additional operating costs through efficiency improvements. In order to reduce the need to maintain inventory in our warehouses in California we intend to continue to ship a significant portion of our total sales directly from SMC Macau. The customers take title to the merchandise at their consolidators in China and are responsible for the shipment, duty, clearance and freight charges to their locations. In order to keep our inventory low, we have been helping our customers forecast and manage their Singing Machine inventories. This will prevent the overstocking situation with customers.

Except for the foregoing, we do not have any present commitment that is likely to cause our liquidity to increase or decrease in any material way. In addition, except for the Company’s need for additional capital to finance inventory purchases, the Company is not aware of any trend, additional demand, event or uncertainty that will result in, or that is reasonably likely to result in, the Company’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way. The Company is reliant upon our parent company, Starlight International, to manufacture approximately 30% of our products with extended trade payable terms to help ensure that unrelated key vendors are paid timely. Any significant change in Starlight International’s ability to continue to provide manufacturing and extended payment terms may have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our financial obligations and continue our operations.

EXCHANGE RATES

We sell all of our products in U.S. dollars and pay for all of our manufacturing costs in either U.S. or Hong Kong dollars. Operating expenses of the Macau office are paid in either Hong Kong dollars or Macau Pataca (MOP). The exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar to the U.S. dollar has been relatively stable at approximately HK$7.80 to U.S. $1.00 since 1983 and, accordingly, has not represented a currency exchange risk to the U.S. dollar. The exchange rate of the MOP to the U.S. dollar is MOP $7.83 to U.S. $1.00. We cannot assure you that the exchange rate between the United States, Macau and Hong Kong currencies will continue to be stable or that exchange rate fluctuations will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

SEASONAL AND QUARTERLY RESULTS

Historically, our operations have been seasonal, with the highest net sales occurring in the second and third quarters (reflecting increased orders for equipment and music merchandise during the Christmas selling months) 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 88.1%, 90.0%, and 87.9% of net sales in Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2013, and Fiscal 2012.

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 karaoke related items during the slow season to fulfill the revenue shortfall.

INFLATION

Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's operations. The Company has historically passed any price increases on to its customers since prices charged by the Company are generally not fixed by long-term contracts.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

None.

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 included accounts receivable allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves on inventory and income tax.

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

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 jurisdictions have been made.

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.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 which outlines a single comprehensive model for companies to use when accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The core principle of the revenue recognition model is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In order to achieve this core principle a company must apply the following steps in determining revenue recognition:

The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 including interim periods within that reporting period with early application not allowed. Management is currently assessing whether the implementation of ASU 2014-09 will have any material effect on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

The financial statements and supplemental data required pursuant to this Item 8 are included in this Annual Report, as a separate section, commencing on page F-1 and are incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, we conducted an evaluation as required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, 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 were not effective, as a result of a material weakness as identified in (b) below.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the relationship between the benefit of desired controls and procedures and the cost of implementing new controls and procedures.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. This rule defines internal control over financial reporting as a process designed by, or under the supervision of Company management to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the components established in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

A system of 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 material weakness is any deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the period covered by this Annual Report, as a result of a material weakness.

The material weakness was primarily due to the following:

In light of the conclusion that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective, our management is in the process of implementing a plan intended to remediate such ineffectiveness and to strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting through the implementation of certain measures. For Fiscal 2015, management is committed to improve control and oversight relating to financial controls and will work with our Audit Committee to formulate policies and procedures to address deficiencies described above. Management will address the above material weakness by reconciling an independently prepared monthly invoice log to the invoices recorded or accrued in accounts payable and cross referencing these logs to the detailed shipped container log to identify any discrepancies and to ensure that all invoices related to received and in-transit goods are timely recorded. Any discrepancies found will be immediately researched, resolved and properly recorded prior to period closings. A checklist of items to be identified during the reconciliation process will be completed and initialed by both the preparer and reviewer of the reconciliation and recording processes.

In our Annual Report for Fiscal 2013 we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective. During Management’s evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures for Fiscal 2014, we identified a material weakness to our secondary controls over accounts payable. Management has already implemented additional secondary controls to remediate this material weakness. There were no other changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

YEAR 2001 PLAN

On June 1, 2001, our Board of Directors approved the Year 2001 Plan and it was approved by our shareholders at our special meeting held September 6, 2001. The Year 2001 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. The Year 2001 Plan authorized an aggregate of 1,950,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a maximum of 450,000 shares to any one individual in any one fiscal year. The shares of common stock available under the Year 2001 Plan were subject to adjustment for any stock split, declaration of a stock dividend or similar event. At March 31, 2014, we had granted 1,196,000 options under the Year 2001 Plan, 1,196,000 of which were fully vested. As of this date the Year 2001 Plan has expired and no further options can be issued thereunder.

Options granted under the Year 2001 Plan are not transferable except by will or applicable laws of descent and distribution. Except as expressly determined by the Compensation Committee, no option under the Year 2001 Plan is exercisable after thirty (30) days following an individual's termination of employment with the Company or a subsidiary, unless such termination of employment occurs by reason of such individual's disability, retirement or death. The obligations of the Company under the Year 2001 Plan are binding on (1) any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company or (2) any successor corporation or organization succeeding to all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Company. In the event of any of the foregoing, the Compensation Committee may, at its discretion, prior to the consummation of the transaction, offer to purchase, cancel, exchange, adjust or modify any outstanding options, as such time and in such manner as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate.

401(K) PLAN

Effective January 1, 2001, we adopted a voluntary 401(k) plan. All employees with at least one year of service are eligible to participate in our 401(k) plan. We make a matching contribution of 100% of salary deferral contributions up to 3% of pay, plus 50% of salary deferral contributions from 3% to 5% of pay for each payroll period. The amounts charged to earnings for contributions to this plan and administrative costs during the years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 totaled $27,869, $30,589 and $24,933, respectively.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The following table sets forth as of June 30, 2014 (the “record date”), certain information concerning beneficial ownership of our common stock by:

Security ownership is based on 38,070,642 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. In computing the number and percentage of shares beneficially owned by a person, shares of common stock subject to convertible securities and options currently convertible or exercisable, or convertible or exercisable within 60 days of June 30, 2014 are counted as outstanding, but these shares are not counted as outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

(“Starlight USA”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Starlight International, Cosmo USA, Inc. (“Cosmo USA”) and Starlight Electronics USA, Inc. (“Starlight Electronics USA”) to provide logistics, fulfillment, and warehousing services for Starlight USA, Cosmo USA and Starlight Electronic USA’s domestic sales. For these services, Starlight USA, Cosmo USA and Starlight Electronics USA have agreed to reimburse the Company for actual warehouse space occupied by these companies at $8 per pallet and for logistics services performed based on an agreed to fee schedule specified in the agreement. This agreement is estimated to yield approximately $180,000 in reimbursements for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015.

Effective April 1, 2013, SMC-L entered into a service and logistics agreement with Starlight USA, Cosmo USA and Starlight Electronics USA, to provide logistics, fulfillment, and warehousing services for Starlight USA, Cosmo USA and Starlight Electronic USA’s domestic sales.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

We believe that the terms of all of the above transactions are commercially reasonable and no less favorable to us than we could have obtained from an unaffiliated third party on an arm’s length basis. Our policy requires that all related parties recuse themselves from negotiating and voting on behalf of our company in connection with related party transactions. While we do not maintain a written policy with respect to related party transactions, our board of directors routinely reviews potential transactions with those parties we have identified as related parties prior to the consummation of the transaction. Each transaction is reviewed to determine that a related party transaction is entered into by us with the related party on an “arms length” basis, or pursuant to normal competitive negotiation. We also generally require that all related parties recuse themselves from negotiating and voting on behalf of the Company in connection with related party transactions.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

The Singing Machine Company, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Singing Machine Company, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2014. The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, 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 the Company as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited Schedule II – Valuation and Qualifying Accounts of the Company for the years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. In our opinion, this schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information therein.
