Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

August 31, 2010

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

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Audiovox Corporation and subsidiaries (“Audiovox” or the “Company”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented. The results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any interim period. These consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010.

We have determined that we operate in one reportable segment, the Electronics Group, based on review of ASC 280 “Segment Reporting”.

(2) Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has various stock-based compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 1 of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010.

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

In addition, the Company issued 17,500 warrants during September of 2009 to purchase the Company’s common stock with the same terms as those of the options above as consideration for future legal services. Accordingly, the Company recorded additional legal expense in the amount of approximately $9 for the quarter ended May 31, 2010, representing the fair value of the warrants issued. These warrants are included in the outstanding options and warrant table below and considered exercisable at August 31, 2010.

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

As of August 31, 2010, the Company had unrecognized compensation costs of approximately $428 related to non-vested options. The unrecognized compensation costs related to these options will be completely recognized by November 30, 2010. At February 28, 2010, the Company had unrecognized compensation costs of $1,182.

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

						Weighted
				Weighted		Average
				Average		Remaining
				Exercise		Contractual
	Number of Shares			Price		Life

Outstanding and exercisable at February 28, 2010		1,315,584		$	6.91
Granted		-			-
Exercised		(12,400	)		4.83
Forfeited/expired		(92,086	)		10.90
Outstanding and exercisable at August 31, 2010		1,211,098		$	6.63	2.10

3) Net Income Per Common Share

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

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

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	August 31,				August 31,
	2010		2009		2010		2009
Weighted-average common shares outstanding		22,893,161		22,872,191		22,890,174		22,868,792
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock options and warrants		149,975		61,537		147,466		30,769
Weighted-average common shares and potential common shares outstanding		23,043,136		22,933,728		23,037,640		22,899,561

Stock options and warrants totaling 232,383 and 1,238,062 for the three months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and 225,983 and 1,341,538 for the six months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, were not included in the net income per diluted share calculation because the exercise price of these options and warrants was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during these periods or their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

(4) Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

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

The following table presents assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at August 31, 2010:

			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash and money market funds	$	52,947	$	52,947	$	-	$	-

Audiovox Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

August 31, 2010

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

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

Short-term investments include an investment in forward exchange contracts. In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010, our German subsidiary entered into certain forward contracts to hedge the currency exposure for its U.S. dollar denominated assets, liabilities and future commitments. The gains or losses associated with these foreign exchange contracts are evaluated and recorded, as applicable, on the measurement date as the contracts are not specifically connected to any assets, liabilities or future commitments. As of August 31, 2010, the Company has closed all forward contracts. An asset of $906 has been recorded and will be fully settled by March 2011. During the second fiscal quarter, the Company recorded a $172 loss associated with the closure of the contracts. For Fiscal 2011, a total gain of $828 has been included in other income.

Short-term investments include an investment in fixed income securities and mutual funds of $20,249. In July, the Company invested a portion of its cash position with a major financial institution with the intention of improving returns while maintaining a conservative portfolio and providing high liquidity. The maturity dates range from less than one year to long-term, however, the long-term securities can be actively traded in broker/dealer markets. The securities are held with the intent of maintaining an intended return on the investments while remaining within the Company’s overall risk parameters, and therefore are bought and sold within the account to achieve such return. The investment has been classified within trading securities with all gains and losses, in addition to interest earned, being recorded through the income statement in other income.

During its fourth quarter review in Fiscal 2010, the Company determined that its investment in Bliss-tel was other than temporarily impaired. The Company continues to monitor Bliss-tel management’s business plan to improve its financial and commercial position including consideration of the progress of its bank negotiations and efforts to raise additional capital. Management has determined that Bliss-tel has completed its debt restructuring plan. There were no adverse changes in circumstances during our second fiscal quarter to indicate that further impairment of this investment was necessary. We will continue to evaluate the circumstances impacting this investment throughout the fiscal year ending February 28, 2011.

As of August 31, 2010, the Company had $4,550 (at par value) of an auction rate security included within its portfolio of long-term investment securities, which is collateralized by student loan portfolios, guaranteed by the United States government. This auction rate security is classified as an available-for-sale long-term investment. As of August 31, 2010, the Company recorded approximately $447 of unrealized losses on this auction rate note.

Due to current economic pressures in the U.S. credit markets, the Company considered various valuation techniques for its auction rate security. These analyses consider, among other items, the collateral underlying the security, the creditworthiness of the issuer, the timing of the expected future cash flows, including the final maturity, and an assumption of when the next time the security is expected to have a successful auction. These securities were also compared, when possible, to other observable and relevant market data, which is limited at this time. Accordingly, these securities continue to be classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. On October 1, 2010, the Company was notified that a tender offer for these auction rate securities has been proposed. The Company is awaiting further information in order to participate in this tender offer. The Company does not anticipate a further loss upon participation in the tender offer.

Long-term investments include an investment in U.S. dollar-denominated bonds issued by the Venezuelan government, which had been classified as held-to-maturity. During its second fiscal quarter, the Company was advised that the exchange rate on these bonds will no longer float with current exchange rates, and was set at the lower of the two-tier exchange rate. Management has determined that the better strategy for this investment would be to liquidate the bonds as soon as market conditions warrant and satisfy its U.S. dollar obligations with the funds. The investment has been reclassified as available for sale at August 31, 2010. During the three months ended August 31, 2010, a foreign exchange loss of approximately $1.5 million has been recorded in the Company’s financial statements. This loss has been offset by the foreign exchange gain recorded on its U.S. dollar denominated intercompany debt.

The Company recorded amortization expense of $547 and $374 for the three months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $1,097 and $753 for the six months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The estimated aggregate amortization expense for the cumulative five years ending August 31, 2015 amounts to $7,265.

We evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of long-lived assets is considered impaired when the estimated undiscounted cash flows from such assets are less than their carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Fair value is determined by primarily using a discounted cash flow methodology that requires considerable management judgment and long-term assumptions. There were no impairment triggering events during the three and six months ended August 31, 2010, therefore, management believes the current carrying value of its intangible assets is not impaired. Our estimate of net future cash flows is based on historical experience and assumptions of future trends, which may be different from actual results. We periodically review the appropriateness of the estimated useful lives of our long-lived assets.

(9) Equity Investments

As of August 31, 2010 and February 28, 2010, the Company had a 50% non-controlling ownership interest in Audiovox Specialized Applications, Inc.

(10) Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes consists of U.S. and foreign taxes in amounts necessary to align the Company’s year-to-date provision for income taxes with the effective tax rate that the Company expects to achieve for the full year. The Company’s annual effective tax rate for fiscal 2011 excluding discrete items is estimated to be 26.4% (which includes U.S., state and local and foreign taxes) based upon the Company’s anticipated earnings both in the U.S. and in its foreign subsidiaries.

For the three months ended August 31, 2010 the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $389, which consisted of U.S., state and local and foreign taxes, offset by discrete items related to the accrual of interest for uncertain tax positions under ASC 740. For the three months ended August 31, 2009, the Company recorded a benefit for income taxes of $1,578 which consisted of tax benefits related to discrete items including recently enacted state tax legislation impacting the recognition of certain tax positions under ASC 740 and the tax effects of certain foreign tax matters, offset by a tax provision related to U.S., state and local and foreign taxes.

(a) Domestic Bank Obligations

Up until March 31, 2010, the Company had a secured credit line to fund the temporary short-term working capital needs of the domestic operations. This line allowed aggregate borrowings of up to $10,000 at an interest rate of Prime (or similar designations) plus 1% or LIBOR plus 5%. On March 31, 2010, the line was subsequently replaced by a $15,000 three-year facility at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.8%. As of August 31, 2010 and February 28, 2010, no direct amounts were outstanding under either of these agreements. At August 31, 2010, the Company had $3,017 and $429 outstanding in standby and commercial letters of credit, respectively, which reduces the amount available under the secured credit line.

(b) Foreign Bank Obligations

Foreign bank obligations include a Euro accounts receivable factoring arrangements totaling 23,000 and a 5,000 Euro Asset-Based Lending ("ABL") (finished goods inventory and non factored accounts receivable) credit facility for the Company's subsidiary, Audiovox Germany, which expires on November 1, 2010. Selected accounts receivable are purchased from the Company on a non-recourse basis at 85% of face value and payment of the remaining 15% upon receipt from the customer of the balance of the receivable purchased. The activity under this ABL is accounted for as a sale of accounts receivable. The rate of interest is the three month Euribor plus 1.4% to 2.5%, and the Company pays 0.16% to 0.29% of its gross sales as a fee for the accounts receivable factoring arrangement. As of August 31, 2010, the amount of accounts receivable and finished goods available for factoring exceeded the amounts outstanding under this obligation.

The Company has a $2,000 credit line in Venezuela to fund the short-term working capital needs of the local operation. This line is secured by a standby letter of credit in the U.S., expires on June 30, 2011 and carries an interest rate of 20%, which is fixed for 90 days.

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

(d) Suntrust

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

(e) Oehlbach

In connection with the Oehlbach acquisition, the Company acquired short term debt payable to various third parties. The interest rate on the debt ranges from 4.2% to 6.1% and is payable from May 2010 to March 2011.

(f) Other Debt

This amount includes a call/put option owed to certain employees of Audiovox Germany.

(15) Other Income (Expense)

Other income is comprised of the following:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

(16) Venezuela

On Friday, January 8, 2010, the Venezuelan government announced its intention to devalue its currency (Bolivar fuerte) and move to a two tier exchange structure, 2.60 for essential goods and 4.30 for non-essential goods and services. Although products sold by our Venezuelan operation are expected to be classified as non-essential, the Company has certain U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities for which the 2.60 rate has been applied. The Company has applied the official rate of 4.3 for all other U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities.

Effective January 1, 2010, according to the guidelines in ASC 830, Venezuela has been designated as a hyper-inflationary economy. A hyper-inflationary economy designation occurs when a country has experienced cumulative inflation of approximately 100 percent or more over a 3 year period. The hyper-inflationary designation requires the local subsidiary in Venezuela to record all transactions as if they were denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company has transitioned to hyper-inflationary accounting on March 1, 2010. Accordingly, all gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of our financial statements are required to be recorded directly in the income statement. If in the future, we convert Bolivars fuertes at a rate other than the official exchange rate, we may realize additional gains or losses that would be recorded in the income statement.

The Company’s sales for Fiscal 2011 were impacted by the economic and political situation in Venezuela, which has resulted in work stoppages at the car manufacturers due to parts shortages and issues with foreign exchange. Venezuela represents approximately 2% of sales for the Company. The majority of assets invested in Venezuela are cash related. The Company will continue to monitor circumstances that could impact its Venezuelan operations.

(17) Contingencies

Contingencies

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

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

During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2009, the Company became aware that certain personal consumer credit card information had been accessed by an intrusion by an unauthorized source. The Company has notified the various state and federal authorities in which the consumers reside and is offering a plan of credit monitoring and protection for the affected individuals. The Company is partially covered by insurance but anticipates amounts will be necessary to cover the cost of this issue. The Company recorded certain costs associated with this issue as of February 28, 2010, based on information available at the time. There were no additional costs recorded during the three and six months ended August 31, 2010.

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

(18) Subsequent Events

During October, we were notified that Qualcomm has decided to suspend its direct to consumer sales of new FLO TV devices. This decision will not have a material impact on the Company. We are working with FLO TV and Qualcomm to transition out of the business.

(19) New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance included in ASC 860 “Transfers and Servicing” which changes the analysis required to determine controlling interest in variable interest entities and requires additional disclosures regarding a company’s involvement with such entities. The standard, which was effective for the Company beginning March 1, 2010, did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance under ASC 810 which eliminates the concept of qualifying special purpose entities, limits the number of financial assets and liabilities that qualify for derecognition, and requires additional disclosures. The guidance, which was effective for the Company on March 1, 2010, did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement that improves disclosures around fair value measurements. This pronouncement requires additional disclosures regarding transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy of this pronouncement as well as a more detailed reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements. Certain disclosure requirements of this pronouncement were effective and adopted by the Company on March 1, 2010. The remaining disclosure requirements of this pronouncement will be effective for the Company’s first quarter in Fiscal 2012. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance included in ASC 830 “Foreign Currency” which requires certain disclosures when a company uses alternative exchange rates for re-measurement of U.S. dollar-denominated balances which are subsequently translated at official exchange rates for financial reporting purposes. The guidance, which was effective in March 2010, did not have a material impact on the Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q would constitute forward-looking statements, including but not limited to, information relating to the future performance and financial condition of the Company, the plans and objectives of the Company’s management and the Company’s assumptions regarding such performance and plans that are forward-looking in nature and involve certain risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from such forward-looking information.

We begin Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) with an overview of the business. This is followed by a discussion of the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments incorporated in our reported financial results. In the next section, we discuss our results of operations for the three and six months ended August 31, 2010 compared to the three and six months ended August 31, 2009. We then provide an analysis of changes in our balance sheets and cash flows, and discuss our financial commitments in the sections entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources”. We conclude this MD&A with a discussion of “Related Party Transactions” and “Recent Accounting Pronouncements”.

Unless specifically indicated otherwise, all amounts and percentages presented in our MD&A below are exclusive of discontinued operations and are in thousands, except share and per share data.

Business Overview

Audiovox Corporation (“Audiovox", “We", "Our", "Us" or “Company") is a leading international distributor in the accessory, mobile and consumer electronics industries. With our most recent acquisition of Invision Automotive Systems, Inc. we have added manufacturing capabilities to our business model. We conduct our business through eleven wholly-owned subsidiaries: American Radio Corp., Audiovox Electronics Corporation (“AEC”), Audiovox Accessories Corp. (“AAC”), Audiovox Consumer Electronics, Inc. (“ACE”), Audiovox German Holdings GmbH (“Audiovox Germany”), Audiovox Venezuela, C.A., Audiovox Canada Limited, Entretenimiento Digital Mexico, S. de C.V. (“Audiovox Mexico”), Code Systems, Inc, Schwaiger GmbH (“Schwaiger”) and Invision Automotive Systems, Inc. (“Invision”). We market our products under the Audiovox® brand name, other brand names and licensed brands, such as Acoustic Research®, Advent®, Ambico®, Car Link®, Chapman®, Code-Alarm®, Discwasher®, Energizer®, Heco®, IncaarTM, Invision®, Jensen®, Mac AudioTM, Magnat®, Movies2Go®, Oehlbach®, Phase Linear®, Prestige®, Pursuit®, RCA®, RCA Accessories®, Recoton®, Road Gear®, Schwaiger®, Spikemaster® and Terk®, as well as private labels through a large domestic and international distribution network. We also function as an OEM ("Original Equipment Manufacturer") supplier to several customers and presently have one reportable segment (the "Electronics Group"), which is organized by product category.

The Company is organized by product category as follows:

Electronics products include:

§	mobile multi-media video products, including in-dash, overhead and headrests,

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

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

§	automotive security and remote start systems,

§	automotive power accessories,

§	rear observation and collision avoidance systems,

§	home and portable stereos,

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

§	camcorders,

§	clock-radios,

§	digital voice recorders,

§	home speaker systems,

§	portable DVD players,

§	digital picture frames, and

§	e-readers.

Accessories products include:

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

§	Wireless Fidelity (“WiFi”) antennas,

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

§	home electronic accessories such as cabling,

§	other connectivity products,

§	power cords,

§	performance enhancing electronics,

§	TV universal remotes,

§	flat panel TV mounting systems,

§	iPod specialized products,

§	wireless headphones,

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

§	power supply systems,

§	electronic equipment cleaning products, and

§	set-top boxes.

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

Our objective is to continue to grow our business by acquiring new brands, embracing new technologies, expanding product development and applying this to a continued stream of new products that should increase gross margins and improve operating income. In addition, it is our intention to continue to acquire synergistic companies that would allow us to leverage our overhead, penetrate new markets and expand existing product categories through our business channels.

Reportable Segments

We have determined that we operate in one reportable segment, the Electronics Group, based on review of ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”. The characteristics of our operations that are relied on in making and reviewing business decisions include the similarities in our products, the commonality of our customers, suppliers and product developers across multiple brands, our unified marketing and distribution strategy, our centralized inventory management and logistics, and the nature of the financial information used by our Executive Officers. Management reviews the financial results of the Company based on the performance of the Electronics Group.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in those financial statements. These judgments can be subjective and complex, and consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates. Our most critical accounting policies and estimates relate to revenue recognition; sales incentives; accounts receivable reserves; inventory reserves; goodwill and other intangible assets; warranties; stock-based compensation; income taxes; and the fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities. A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is identified in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010. Since February 28, 2010, there have been no changes in our critical accounting policies or changes to the assumptions and estimates related to them.

The Company evaluates its indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment triggering events at each reporting period in accordance with ASC 350. Based on our evaluation, there were no triggering events and no impairment of indefinite lived intangible assets in the quarter ended August 31, 2010. Due to the continued economic volatility, including fluctuations in interest rates, growth rates and changes in demand for our products, there could be a change in the valuation of indefinite lived intangible assets when the Company conducts its annual impairment test.

Results of Operations

As you read this discussion and analysis, refer to the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, which present the results of our operations for the three and six months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009.

The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, certain statements of operations data for the three and six months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009.

Net Sales

	August 31,
	2010		2009		$ Change			% Change

Three Months Ended:
Electronics	$	95,199	$	79,031	$	16,168			20.5	%
Accessories		34,098		45,859		(11,761	)		(25.6	)
Total consolidated net sales	$	129,297	$	124,890	$	4,407			3.5	%

Six Months Ended:
Electronics	$	189,719	$	158,030	$	31,689			20.1	%
Accessories		69,892		86,667		(16,775	)		(19.4	)
Total consolidated net sales	$	259,611	$	244,697	$	14,914			6.1	%

Electronic sales represented 73.6% and 73.1% of the net sales for the three and six months ended August 31, 2010, respectively, compared to 63.3% and 64.6% in the prior year periods. For the three and six months ended August 31, 2010, approximately $13,400 and $24,400, respectively of the increase in sales from this product group was the result of our recent acquisition of Invision, a manufacturer of rear seat entertainment systems, and the addition of a new security distribution agreement. Our OEM sales increased as a result of increased car manufacturing and its related sales, as well as our new OEM programs. Our audio, video and digital player product lines also experienced an increase in revenue period over period. Partially offsetting these increases were declines in certain electronics products.

Accessory sales represented 26.4% and 26.9% of our net sales for the three and six months ended August 31, 2010, respectively, compared to 36.7% and 35.4% in the prior year periods. This group was impacted by a decline in digital antenna sales compared to the prior year period as a result of the industry-wide switch from analogue to digital technology in early 2009. We also experienced lower sales in other Accessory products as a result of the economy. These declines were partially offset by increased sales in our international business both in existing business and the addition of our acquisition of Schwaiger.

Overall, a portion of our total international sales have increased during our second fiscal quarter due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar versus the Euro; and the addition of our Schwaiger acquisition.

During the quarter ended August 31, 2010, sales incentive expenses increased by $1,587 primarily as a result of our Schwaiger acquisition, which has several marketing programs. Sales incentive expenses for the six months ended August 31, 2010 increased $1,540 primarily as a result of the Schwaiger acquisition, partially offset by a decline in Accessories sales which has higher sales incentives. The release of unearned or unclaimed sales incentives was $361 and $643 for the three and six months ended August 31, 2010, respectively. We believe the reversal of unearned but unclaimed or unearned sales incentives upon expiration of the claim period is a disciplined, rational, consistent, and systematic method of reversing these claims. These sales incentive programs are expected to continue and will either increase or decrease based upon competition and customer demands.

Gross margin percentage		21.0	%		19.0	%

Gross margins, which increased by 240 and 200 basis points for the three and six months ended August 31, 2010, respectively, were favorably impacted by increased sales in OEM related product; better margins in our existing product lines as new product was introduced; and reduced costs in freight and warehousing.

Operating Expenses and Operating Loss

	2010			2009		$ Change			% Change

Three Months Ended:
Operating income (loss)	$	175		$	818	$	(643	)		(78.6	)%

Six Months Ended:
Operating (loss) income	$	(1,311	)	$	1,051	$	(2,362	)		(224.7	)%

Operating expenses increased $4,514 and $10,371 for the three and six months ended August 31, 2010. respectively, from $22,780 and $45,472 in the prior year periods. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses increased to 21.1% and 21.5% as compared to 18.2% and 18.6% for the three and six months ended August 31, 2009, respectively. The increase in total operating expenses was primarily due to our Schwaiger and Invision acquisitions which accounted for $4.0 million and $6.6 million during the three and six months ended August 31, 2010, respectively. In addition, the Company recorded charges for employee stock option costs and professional fees, bad debt expenses associated with a bankruptcy settlement, and severance charges associated with the consolidation of a German operating location. The balance of the increase was due to a reinstatement of a portion of the reductions originally instituted in the salary reduction program to all employees below the level of vice president.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest and bank charges represent expenses for bank obligations of Audiovox Corporation and Audiovox Germany and interest for a capital lease.

Other income increased due to gains on forward exchange contracts during Fiscal 2011 (see Note 4).

Income Tax Benefit/Provision

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended August 31, 2010 was a provision for income taxes of 37.6% and a benefit for income taxes of 16.4% compared to benefit for income taxes of 131.8% and 66.3% in the prior periods. The effective tax rate for the six-months ended August 31, 2010 is different than the statutory rate primarily due to a discrete item related to the recognition of a tax receivable as a result of the favorable resolution of an income tax audit.

Net Income

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

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	August 31,				August 31,
	2010		2009		2010		2009

Net income	$	645	$	2,775	$	1,764	$	3,248

Net income per common share:
Basic	$	0.03	$	0.12	$	0.08	$	0.14
Diluted	$	0.03	$	0.12	$	0.08	$	0.14

Net income declined for the three months ended August 31, 2010 versus the prior year period primarily as a result of a discrete tax benefit recorded in 2009 associated with a FIN 48 tax position.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows, Commitments and Obligations

As of August 31, 2010, we had working capital of $242,239 which includes cash and short-term investments of $73,196, compared with working capital of $239,787 at February 28, 2010, which included cash and short-term investments of $69,511. The increase in cash is primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable, partially offset by an increase in inventory, the purchase of short-term investments and the repayment of the Suntrust loan. We plan to utilize our current cash position as well as collections from accounts receivable, the cash generated from our operations and the income on our investments to fund the current operations of the business. However, we may utilize all or a portion of current capital resources to pursue other business opportunities, including acquisitions.

Operating activities provided cash of $11,138 for the six months ended August 31, 2010 principally due to decreased accounts receivables, offset by an increase in inventory.

§	The Company experienced increased accounts receivable turnover of 5.3 during the six months ended August 31, 2010 compared to 4.8 during the six months ended August 31, 2009.

§	Inventory turnover declined to 2.8 during the six months ended August 31, 2010 compared to 2.9 during the six months ended August 31, 2009.

Investing activities used cash of $21,660 during the six months ended August 31, 2010, primarily due to the purchase of short-term investments.

Financing activities used cash of $5,754 during the six months ended August 31, 2010, primarily from repayment of bank obligations.

Up until March 31, 2010, the Company had a secured credit line to fund the temporary short-term working capital needs of the domestic operations. This line allowed aggregate borrowings of up to $10,000 at an interest rate of Prime (or similar designations) plus 1% or LIBOR plus 5%. The line was subsequently replaced by a $15,000 three-year facility at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.8%. As of August 31, 2010 and February 28, 2010, no direct amounts were outstanding under either of these agreements. At August 31, 2010, the Company had $3,017 and $429 outstanding in standby and commercial letters of credit, respectively, which reduces the amount available under the secured credit line.

Certain contractual cash obligations and other commercial commitments will impact our short and long-term liquidity. At August 31, 2010, such obligations and commitments are as follows:

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

Capital lease obligation (1)	$	10,145	$	521	$	1,134	$	1,147	$	7,343

1. Represents total payments (interest and principal) due under a capital lease obligation which has a current (included in other current liabilities) and long term principal balance of $85 and $5,406, respectively at August 31, 2010.

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

3. Includes amounts outstanding under the Audiovox Germany Euro asset-based lending facility at August 31, 2010 and the Venezuelan credit line.

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

5. Represents amounts outstanding under a loan agreement for Audiovox Germany. This amount also includes amounts due under a call-put option with certain employees of Audiovox Germany.

6. Represents contingent payments in connection with the Thomson Accessory and Thomson Audio/Video acquisitions (see Note 3 of the Company’s annual report).

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

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Acquisitions

During the third quarter of Fiscal 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of Schwaiger GmbH, a German market leader in the consumer electronics, SAT and receiver technologies for $4,348. The purpose of this acquisition was to expand our European operations and increase our presence in the European accessory market.

Subsequent Events

Related Party Transactions

During 1998, we entered into a 30-year capital lease for a building with our principal stockholder and chairman, which was the headquarters of the discontinued Cellular operation. Payments on the capital lease were based upon the construction costs of the building and the then-current interest rates. This capital lease was refinanced in December 2006 and the lease expires on November 30, 2026. The effective interest rate on the capital lease obligation is 8%. On November 1, 2004, we entered into an agreement to sublease the building to Personal Communication Devices, LLC (Formerly UTStarcom) for monthly payments of $46 until November 1, 2009. The sublease lease agreement has been renewed and requires, for a term of three years, monthly payments of $50 until November 1, 2012. We also lease another facility from our principal stockholder which expires on November 30, 2016. Total lease payments required under all related party leases for the five-year period ending August 31, 2015 are $6,652.

New Accounting Pronouncements

We are required to adopt certain new accounting pronouncements (see Note 19) to our consolidated financial statements included herein.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our changes in foreign currency exchange rates are managed through normal operating and financing activities. We have foreign operations primarily in Germany, Canada, Mexico and Venezuela and thus are exposed to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For the three months ended August 31, 2010, a uniform 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currency of our foreign operations would have resulted in a decrease in sales and net income of approximately $2.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. For the six months ended August 31, 2010, a uniform 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currency of our foreign operations would have resulted in a decrease in sales of approximately $4.8. The change in net income is negligible. The effects of foreign currency exchange rates on future results would also be impacted by changes in sales levels or local currency prices.

There has been no significant change in our market risk sensitive instruments since February 28, 2010 with the exception of our operations in Venezuela. Venezuela represented 2% of quarterly and year to date sales. The majority of assets invested in Venezuela are cash related and are subject to government foreign exchange controls including its investment in Venezuelan government bonds (see Note 4). The Company will continue to monitor the situation.

The Company also continues to monitor the circumstances related to its equity investment in Bliss-tel (Thailand) as discussed in Note 4.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, these disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a “reasonable assurance” level.

There were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the three and six month period ended August 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
