PART I

Item 1-Business

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 seventeen 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, Audiovox Hong Kong Ltd., Audiovox International Corp., Audiovox Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. (“Audiovox Mexico”), Technuity, Inc., Code Systems, Inc, Oehlbach Kabel GmbH ("Oehlbach"), Schwaiger GmbH (“Schwaiger”), Invision Automotive Systems, Inc. (“Invision”) and Omega Research and Development, LLC ("Omega") and Audiovox Websales LLC. 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®, Incaar^™, Invision®, Jensen®, Mac Audio^™, Magnat®, Movies2Go®, Oehlbach®, Omega®, 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.

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

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

Acquisitions

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

On March 1, 2011, Soundtech LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Audiovox, acquired

all of the issued and outstanding shares of Klipsch Group, Inc. and its worldwide subsidiaries (“Klipsch”) for a total purchase price of $167.6 million including a working capital adjustment which is subject to change, plus related transaction fees and expenses. Klipsch is a global provider of high-end speakers for audio, multi-media and home theater applications. The acquisition of Klipsch adds world-class brand names to Audiovox's offerings, increases its distribution network, both domestically and abroad, and provides the Company with entry into the high-end installation market at both the residential and commercial level. In addition to the Klipsch® brand, the Klipsch portfolio includes Jamo®, Mirage®, and Energy®. The Company has outlined key details related to the acquisition and the preliminary purchase price allocation in the Subsequent Events footnote (Note 15).

In February 2010, the Company’s new subsidiary, Invision Automotive Systems, Inc. completed the acquisition of the assets of Invision Industries, Inc., a leading manufacturer of rear seat entertainment systems to OEM’s, Toyota port facilities, and car dealers for a total cash purchase price of $10,307, and estimated future consideration of $1,458 and an assumed loan balance of $5,000, with all acquisition costs of $219 expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC 805. The purpose of this acquisition was to increase our R&D capabilities, add a manufacturing facility to our business structure and augment our OE group.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refer to Note 2 “Business Acquisitions” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Fiscal 2010 acquisitions.

Strategy

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

The key elements of our strategy are as follows:

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

Capitalize on niche product and distribution opportunities in the electronics industry. We intend to use our extensive distribution and supply networks to capitalize on niche product and distribution opportunities in the mobile, consumer and accessory electronics categories.

Leverage our domestic and international distribution network. We believe our distribution network which includes power retailers,

mass merchandisers, distributors, car dealers and OEM’s will allow us to increase market penetration.

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

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

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

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

Industry

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

Products

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

Electronics products include:


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


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


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


▪	automotive security and remote start systems,


▪	automotive power accessories,


▪	rear observation and collision avoidance systems,


▪	home and portable stereos,


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


▪	camcorders,


▪	clock-radios,


▪	digital voice recorders,


▪	home speaker systems,


▪	portable DVD players,


▪	digital picture frames, and


▪	e-readers.

Accessories products include:


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


▪	Wireless Fidelity (“WiFi”) antennas,


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


▪	home electronic accessories such as cabling,


▪	other connectivity products,

▪	wireless headphones,


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


▪	power supply systems,


▪	electronic equipment cleaning products, and


▪	set-top boxes.

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

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



	Fiscal			Fiscal			Fiscal
	2011			2010			2009
Electronics	$	415,167		$	375,021		$	449,433
Accessories	146,505			175,674			153,666
Total net sales	$	561,672		$	550,695		$	603,099

Gross profit	$	123,937		$	106,751		$	100,268
Gross margin percentage	22.1		%	19.4		%	16.6		%

Total assets	$	501,097		$	488,978		$	461,296

Patents, Trademarks/Tradenames, Licensing and Royalties

The Company regards its trademarks, copyrights, patents, domain names, and similar intellectual property as important to its operations. It relies on trademark, copyright and patent law, domain name regulations, and confidentiality or license agreements to protect its proprietary rights. The Company has registered, or applied for the registration of, a number of patents, trademarks, domain names and copyrights by U.S. and foreign governmental authorities. Additionally, the Company has filed U.S. and international patent applications covering certain of its proprietary technology. The Company renews its registrations, which vary in duration, as it deems appropriate from time to time.

The Company has licensed in the past, and expects that it may license in the future, certain of its proprietary rights to third parties. Some of the Company's products are designed to include intellectual property licensed or otherwise obtained from third parties. While it may be necessary in the future to seek or renew licenses relating to various aspects of the Company's products, the Company believes, based upon past experience and industry practice, such licenses generally could be obtained on commercially reasonable terms; however, there is no guarantee such licenses could be obtained at all. We intend to operate in a way that does not result in willful infringement of the patent, trade secret and other intellectual property rights of other parties. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that a claim of infringement will not be asserted against us or that any such assertion will not result in a judgment or order requiring us to obtain a license in order to make, use, or sell our products.

License and royalty programs offered to our manufacturers, customers and other electronic suppliers are structured using a fixed amount per unit or a percentage of net sales, depending on the terms of the agreement. Current license and royalty agreements have duration periods which range from 1 to 17 years or continue in perpetuity. Certain agreements may be renewed at termination of the agreement. The Company's license and royalty income is recorded upon sale and amounted to $4,248, $4,453 and $4,430 for the years ended February 28, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Distribution and Marketing

We sell our products to:


•	power retailers,


•	mass merchants,


•	regional chain stores,


•	specialty and internet retailers,


•	independent 12 volt retailers,


•	distributors,


•	new car dealers,


•	vehicle equipment manufacturers (OEM's), and


•	the U.S. military.

We sell our products under OEM arrangements with domestic and/or international subsidiaries of automobile manufacturers such as Ford Motor Company, Chrysler, General Motors Corporation, Toyota, Kia, Mazda, BMW, Subaru, Nissan and Porsche. These arrangements require a close partnership with the customer as we develop products to meet specific requirements. OEM products accounted for approximately 20%, 10% and 9% of net sales for the years ended February 28, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Our five largest customers represented 30% of net sales during the year ended February 28, 2011, and 36% for each of the years ended February 28, 2010 and 2009. Wal-Mart accounted for more than 10% of the Company's sales for Fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009, whereas Best Buy accounted for more than 10% of sales in Fiscal 2010 only.

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


•	product design and development,


•	engineering and testing,


•	sales training and customer packaging,


•	in-store display design,


•	installation training and technical support,


•	product repair services and warranty,


•	nationwide installation network,


•	warehousing, and


•	specialized manufacturing.

We have flexible shipping policies designed to meet customer needs. In the absence of specific customer instructions, we ship products within 24 to 48 hours from the receipt of an order from public warehouses and leased facilities throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Venezuela and Germany. The Company also employs a direct ship model from our suppliers for select customers upon their request.

Product Development, Warranty and Customer Service

Our product development cycle includes:


•	identifying consumer trends and potential demand,


•	responding to those trends through product design and feature integration, which includes software design, electrical engineering, industrial design and pre-production testing. In the case of OEM customers, the product development cycle may also include product validation to customer quality standards, and


•	evaluating and testing new products in our own facilities to ensure compliance with our design specifications and standards.

Utilizing our company-owned and third party facilities in the United States, Europe and Asia, we work closely with customers and suppliers throughout the product design, testing and development process in an effort to meet the expectations of consumer demand for technologically-advanced and high quality products. Our Hauppauge, New York and Troy, Michigan facilities are ISO 14001:2004 and/or ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified, which requires the monitoring of quality standards in all facets of business.

We are committed to providing product warranties for all our product lines, which generally range from 90 days up to the life of the vehicle for the original owner on some automobile-installed products. To support our warranties, we have independent warranty centers throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, Puerto Rico, Europe and Venezuela. Our customer service group along with our Company websites, provide product information, answer questions and serve as technical hotlines for installation help for end-users and customers.

Suppliers

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

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

Competition

The electronics industry is highly competitive across all product categories, and we compete with a number of well-established companies that manufacture and sell similar products. Brand name, design, advancement of technology and features as well as price are the major competitive factors within the electronics industry. Our Mobile Electronic products compete against factory-supplied products, including those provided by, among others, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler. Our Mobile Electronic products also compete in the automotive aftermarket against major companies such as Sony, Panasonic, Kenwood, Directed Electronics, Autopage, Rosen, Myron and Davis, Coby, Phillips, Insignia, and Pioneer. Our Accessories and Consumer Electronics product lines compete against major companies such as Sony, Phillips, Coby, Emerson Radio, Jasco and Belkin.

Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations

The amounts of net sales and long-lived assets, attributable to foreign and domestic operations for all periods presented are set forth in Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financials Statements, included herein.

Equity Investment

We have a 50% non-controlling ownership interest in Audiovox Specialized Applications, Inc. ("ASA") which acts as a distributor of televisions and other automotive sound, security and accessory products to specialized markets for specialized vehicles, such as, but not limited to, RV's, van conversions and marine vehicles.

Employees

As of February 28, 2011, we employed approximately 1,020 people worldwide. We consider our relations with employees to be good and as of February 28, 2011 no employees were covered by collective bargaining agreements.

Item 1A-Risk Factors

We have identified certain risk factors that apply to us. You should carefully consider each of the following risk factors and all of the other information included or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K. If any of these risks, or other risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe not to be significant, develop into actual events, then our business, financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations could be adversely affected. If that happens, the market price of our common stock would likely decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

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

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


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


•	competition within key markets,


•	customer acceptance of newly developed products and services, and


•	the demand for other products and services.

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

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

The market for consumer electronics and accessories is highly competitive across all product lines. We compete against many established companies who have substantially greater financial and engineering resources than we do. We compete directly with OEMs, including divisions of well-known automobile manufacturers, in the autosound, auto security, mobile video and accessories industry. We believe that OEMs have diversified and improved their product offerings and place increased sales pressure on new car dealers with whom they have close business relationships to purchase OEM-supplied equipment and accessories. To the extent that OEMs succeed in their efforts, this success would have a material adverse effect on our sales of automotive entertainment and security products to new car dealers. In addition, we compete with major retailers who may at any time choose to direct import products that we may currently supply.

Sales Category Dependent on Economic Success of Automotive Industry.

A portion of our OEM sales are to American automobile manufacturers, specifically Chrysler, General Motors and Ford. Some of these OEM manufacturers have reorganized their operations as a result of general economic conditions. If these reorganizations should fail, it could have a material adverse effect on a portion of our OEM business.

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

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

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

The electronics industry is characterized by a number of key customers. Specifically 30%, 36% and 36% of our sales were to five customers in Fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The loss of one or more of these customers could have a material adverse impact on our business.

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

Our Electronics and Accessories businesses depend, to a large extent, on the introduction and availability of innovative products and technologies. If we are not able to continually introduce new products that achieve consumer acceptance, our sales and profit margins may decline.

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

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


•	our supplier relationships will continue as presently in effect,


•	our suppliers will not become competitors,


•	our suppliers will be able to obtain the components necessary to produce high-quality, technologically-advanced products for us,


•	we will be able to obtain adequate alternatives to our supply sources should they be interrupted,


•	if obtained, alternatively sourced products of satisfactory quality would be delivered on a timely basis, competitively priced, comparably featured or acceptable to our customers,


•	our suppliers have sufficient financial resources to fulfill their obligations,


•	our suppliers will be able to obtain raw materials and labor necessary for production, and


•	our suppliers could be impacted by natural disasters directly or via their supply chains.

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

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

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

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

There is no guarantee that patent/royalty rights will be renewed or licensing agreements will be maintained

Certain product development and revenues are dependent on the ownership and or use of various patents, licenses and license agreements. If the Company is not able to successfully renew or renegotiate these rights, we may suffer from a loss of product sales or royalty revenue associated with these rights or incur additional expense to pursue alternative arrangements.

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

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

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

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


•	export and import restrictions, tax consequences and other trade barriers,


•	currency fluctuations,


•	greater difficulty in accounts receivable collections,


•	economic and political instability,


•	foreign exchange controls that prohibit payment in U.S. dollars, and


•	increased complexity and costs of managing and staffing international operations.

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

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

Any claims relating to the infringement of third-party proprietary rights, even if not meritorious, could result in costly litigation, divert management’s attention and resources, or require us to either enter into royalty or license agreements which are not advantageous to us or pay material amounts of damages. In addition, parties making these claims may be able to obtain an injunction, which could prevent us from selling our products. We may increasingly be subject to infringement claims as we expand our product offerings.

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

Seasonal consumer shopping patterns significantly affect our business. We generally make a substantial amount of our sales and net income during September, October and November. We expect this trend to continue. December is also a key month for us, due largely to the increase in promotional activities by our customers during the holiday season. If the economy faltered in these periods, if our customers altered the timing or frequency of their promotional activities or if the effectiveness of these promotional activities declined, particularly around the holiday season, it could have a material adverse effect on our annual financial results.

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

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

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

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


•	difficulties in the integration and assimilation of the operations, technologies, products and personnel of an acquired business,


•	diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns,


•	increased expenses associated with the acquisition, and


•	potential loss of key employees or customers of any acquired business.

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

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

Goodwill and other intangible assets recorded on our balance sheet as of February 28, 2011 was $106,562. We evaluate the recoverability of recorded goodwill and other intangible asset amounts annually, or when evidence of potential impairment exists. The annual impairment test is based on several factors requiring judgment. During Fiscal 2009, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $38,814 as a result of its impairment review (see Note 1(k)). Changes in our operating performance or business conditions, in general, could result in an impairment of goodwill, if applicable, and/or other intangible assets, which could be material to our results of operations.

We invest in marketable securities and other investments as part of our investing activities. These investments fluctuate in value based on economic, operational, competitive, political and technological factors. These investments could be subject to loss or impairment based on their performance.

Recently, the Company has incurred other-than-temporary impairments on its investment in Bliss-tel Public Company Limited ("Bliss-tel"). Any further deterioration in Bliss-tel's performance could result in further impairment of its investment. In addition, there is no guarantee that the fair values recorded for other investments will be sustained in the future.

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

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

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

We Are Responsible for Product Warranties and Defects.

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

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

We believe that our current funds and available credit lines would provide sufficient resources to fund our existing operations for the foreseeable future. However, we may need additional capital to operate our business if:


•	market conditions change,


•	our business plans or assumptions change,


•	we make significant acquisitions,


•	we need to make significant increases in capital expenditures or working capital, or


•	our borrowing base or restrictive covenants may not provide sufficient credit.

Our Stock Price Could Fluctuate Significantly.

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


•	operating results being below market expectations,


•	announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors,


•	loss of a major customer or supplier,


•	changes in, or our failure to meet, financial estimates by securities analysts,


•	industry developments,


•	economic and other external factors,


•	general downgrading of our industry sector by securities analysts,


•	inventory write-downs, and


•	ability to integrate acquisitions.

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

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

Mr. Shalam beneficially owns approximately 54% of the combined voting power of both classes of common stock. This will allow him to elect our Board of Directors and, in general, to determine the outcome of any other matter submitted to the stockholders for approval. Mr. Shalam's voting power may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company.

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

We exercise our option for the “controlled company” exemption under NASDAQ rules.

The Company has exercised its right to the “controlled company” exemption under NASDAQ rules which enables us to forego certain NASDAQ requirements which include: (i) maintaining a majority of independent directors; (ii) electing a nominating committee composed solely of independent directors; (iii) ensuring the compensation of our executive officers is determined by a majority of independent directors or a compensation committee composed solely of independent directors; and (iv) selecting, or recommending for the Board's selection, director nominees, either by a majority of the independent directors or a nominating

committee composed solely of independent directors. Although we do not maintain a nominating committee, the Company notes that at the present time, we do maintain a majority of independent directors; we maintain a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors who approve executive compensation; and, the recommendations for director nominees are governed by a majority of independent directors. However, election of the “controlled company” exemption under NASDAQ rules allows us to modify our position at any time.

Other Risks

Other risks and uncertainties include:


•	changes in U.S federal, state and local law,


•	our ability to implement operating cost structures that align with revenue growth,


•	trade sanctions against or for foreign countries,


•	successful integration of business acquisitions and new brands in our distribution network,


•	compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and


•	compliance with complex financial accounting and tax standards.

Item 1B-Unresolved Staff Comments

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

Item 2-Properties

Our Corporate headquarters is located at 180 Marcus Blvd. in Hauppauge, New York. In addition, as of February 28, 2011, the Company leased a total of 21 operating facilities or offices located in 9 states as well as Germany, China, Canada, Venezuela, Mexico, Hong Kong and England. The leases have been classified as operating leases, with the exception of one, which is recorded as a capital lease. These facilities are located in Florida, Georgia, New York, Ohio, Nevada, Virginia, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. These facilities serve as offices, warehouses, distribution centers or retail locations. Additionally, we utilize public warehouse facilities located in Virginia, Nevada, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Mexico, Germany and Canada.

Item 3-Legal Proceedings

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

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

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

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

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

We begin Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations with an overview of the business, including our strategy to give the reader a summary of the goals of our business and the direction in which our business is moving. This is followed by a discussion of the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments incorporated in our reported financial results. In the next section, we discuss our Results of Operations for the year ended February 28, 2011 compared to the years ended February 28, 2010 and February 28,

2009. We then provide an analysis of changes in our balance sheet and cash flows, and discuss our financial commitments in the sections entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources, including Contractual and Commercial Commitments”. We conclude this MD&A with a discussion of “Related Party Transactions” and “Recent Accounting Pronouncements”.

Segment

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

Outlook

The Company’s domestic and international business is subject to retail industry conditions and the sales of new and used vehicles. The current worldwide economic condition has adversely impacted consumer spending and vehicle sales. If the global macroeconomic environment continues to be weak or deteriorates further, this could have a negative effect on the Company’s revenues and earnings. In an attempt to offset the current market condition, the Company has reduced its operating expenses and has been introducing new product to obtain a greater market share. The Company continues to focus on cash flow and anticipates having sufficient resources with its recent negotiated credit agreement, to operate during Fiscal 2012 and 2013.

Business Overview and Strategy

Audiovox Corporation ("Audiovox", "We", "Our", "Us" or "Company") is a leading international distributor and value added service provider in the accessory, mobile and consumer electronics industries. We conduct our business through seventeen wholly-owned subsidiaries. Audiovox has a broad portfolio of brand names used to market our products as well as private labels through a large domestic and international distribution network. We also function as an OEM (“Original Equipment Manufacturer”) supplier to several customers.

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

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

Acquisitions

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

Divestitures

On November 7, 2005, we completed the sale of our majority owned subsidiary, Audiovox Malaysia (“AVM”), to the then current minority interest shareholder due to increased competition from non-local OEM’s and deteriorating credit quality of local customers. We sold our remaining equity in AVM in exchange for a $550 promissory note and were released from all of our Malaysian liabilities, including bank obligations resulting in a loss on sale of $2,079. In Fiscal 2011, the Company settled the note for $100. The balance of $303 was written off to Other Income during Fiscal 2011.

Net Sales Growth

Net sales over a five-year period have increased 0.8% from $539,716 for the year ended November 30, 2005 to $561,672 for the year ended February 28, 2011. During this period, our sales were impacted by the following items:


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


•	acquisition of Invision’s mobile entertainment business,


•	acquisition of Schwaiger’s accessory business,


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


•	acquisition of Oehlbach’s accessory business,


•	acquisition of Incaar’s OEM business,


•	acquisition of Technuity’s accessory business,


•	acquisition of Thomson’s audio/video business,


•	acquisition of Terk Technologies,


•	acquisition of Recoton and growth in Jensen sales.

Partially offset by:


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


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

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

General

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

Revenue Recognition

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

Sales Incentives

We offer sales incentives to our customers in the form of (1) co-operative advertising allowances; (2) market development funds; (3) volume incentive rebates and (4) other trade allowances. We account for sales incentives in accordance with ASC 605-50 “Customer Payments and Incentives” (“ASC 605-50”). Except for other trade allowances, all sales incentives require the customer to purchase our products during a specified period of time. All sales incentives require customers to claim the sales incentive within a certain time period (referred to as the "claim period") and claims are settled either by the customer claiming a deduction against an outstanding account receivable or by the customer requesting a check. All costs associated with sales incentives are classified as a reduction of net sales, and the following is a summary of the various sales incentive programs:

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

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

is offered to the customer.

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

Other trade allowances are additional sales incentives that we provide to customers subsequent to the related revenue being recognized. In accordance with ASC 605-50, we record the provision for these additional sales incentives at the later of when the sales incentive is offered or when the related revenue is recognized. Such additional sales incentives are based upon a fixed percentage of the selling price to the customer, a fixed amount per unit, or a lump-sum amount.

The accrual balance for sales incentives at February 28, 2011 and 2010 was $11,981 and $10,606, respectively. Although we make our best estimate of sales incentive liabilities, many factors, including significant unanticipated changes in the purchasing volume and the lack of claims from customers could have a significant impact on the liability for sales incentives and reported operating results.

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

For the years ended February 28, 2011, 2010 and 2009, reversals of previously established sales incentive liabilities amounted to $1,725, $2,559 and $4,083, respectively. These reversals include unearned and unclaimed sales incentives. Unearned sales incentives are volume incentive rebates where the customer did not purchase the required minimum quantities of product during the specified time. Volume incentive rebates are reversed into income in the period when the customer did not reach the required minimum purchases of product during the specified time. Reversals of unearned sales incentives for the years ended February 28, 2011, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $977, $1,369 and $1,664, respectively. Unclaimed sales incentives are sales incentives earned by the customer but the customer has not claimed payment within the claim period (period after program has ended). Reversals of unclaimed sales incentives for the years ended February 28, 2011, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $748, $1,190 and $2,419 , respectively.

Accounts Receivable

We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon payment history and current credit worthiness, as determined by a review of current credit information. We continuously monitor collections from our customers and maintain a provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. We record charges for estimated credit losses against operating expenses and charges for price adjustments against net sales in the consolidated financial statements. The reserve for estimated credit losses at February 28, 2011 and 2010 were $6,179 and $5,742, respectively. While such credit losses have historically been within management's expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that have been experienced in the past. Since our accounts receivable are concentrated in a relatively few number of large customers, a significant change in the liquidity or financial position of any one of these customers could have a material adverse impact on the collectability of accounts receivable and our results of operations.

Inventories

We value our inventory at the lower of the actual cost to purchase (primarily on a weighted moving average basis, with a portion valued at standard cost) and/or the current estimated market value of the inventory less expected costs to sell the inventory. We regularly review inventory quantities on-hand and record a provision, in cost of sales, for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily from selling price reductions subsequent to the balance sheet date, indications from customers based upon current negotiations, and purchase orders. A significant sudden increase in the demand for our products could result in a short-term increase in the cost of inventory purchases while a significant decrease in demand could result in an increase in the amount of excess inventory quantities on-hand. In addition, our industry is characterized by rapid technological change and frequent new product introductions that could result in an increase in the amount of obsolete inventory quantities on-hand. During the years ended February 28, 2011, 2010 and 2009, we recorded inventory write-downs of $3,911, $2,972 and $13,818, respectively.

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

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and other intangible assets, which consists of the excess cost over fair value of assets acquired (goodwill) and other intangible assets (patents, contracts, trademarks and customer relationships) amounted to $106,562 at February 28, 2011 and $104,615 at February 28, 2010. Goodwill and other intangible assets are determined in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”) and ASC 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”), see Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (Note 1(k)).

Goodwill, is calculated as the excess of the cost of purchased businesses over the value of their underlying net assets. The Company has used the Discounted Future Cash Flow Method (DCF) as the principle method to determine the Fair Value (“FV”) of acquired businesses. The discount rate used for our analysis was 15.8%. A five-year period was analyzed using a risk adjusted discount rate.

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

The Company categorizes its intangible assets between goodwill and intangible assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not amortized. Intangible assets that have a definite useful life are amortized over their estimated useful life.

On an annual basis, or as needed for a triggering event, we test goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment (see Note 1(k)). To determine the fair value of these intangible assets, there are many assumptions and estimates used that directly impact the results of the testing. We have the ability to influence the outcome and ultimate results based on the assumptions and estimates we choose. To mitigate undue influence, we set criteria that are reviewed and approved by various levels of management. Additionally, we may evaluate our recorded intangible assets with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, as necessary. All reports and conclusions are reviewed by management who have ultimate responsibility for their content. For Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2010, management determined that its intangible assets were not impaired. The goodwill balance is attributable to our purchase of Invision, whose purchase price was finalized in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2011. Management reviewed the performance of Invision since our acquisition and determined that our goodwill is not impaired.

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

Warranties

We offer warranties of various lengths depending upon the specific product. Our standard warranties require us to repair or replace defective product returned by both end users and customers during such warranty period at no cost. We record an estimate for warranty related costs, in cost of sales, based upon actual historical return rates and repair costs at the time of sale. The estimated liability for future warranty expense, which has been included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, amounted to $5,956 and $7,853 at February 28, 2011 and 2010, respectively. While warranty costs have historically been within expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same warranty return rates or repair costs that have been experienced in the past. A significant increase in product return rates, or a significant increase in the costs to repair products, could have a material adverse impact on our operating results.

Stock-Based Compensation

As discussed further in “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 1(t) Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” we adopted ASC 718, (formerly FAS No. 123(R)) on December 1, 2005 using the modified prospective method. Through November

30, 2005 we accounted for our stock option plans under the intrinsic value method and as a result no compensation costs had been recognized in our historical consolidated statements of operations.

We have used and expect to continue to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to compute the estimated fair value of stock-based awards. The Black-Scholes option pricing model includes assumptions regarding dividend yields, expected volatility, expected option term and risk-free interest rates. The assumptions used in computing the fair value of stock-based awards reflect our best estimates, but involve uncertainties relating to market and other conditions, many of which are outside of our control. We estimate expected volatility by considering the historical volatility of our stock, the implied volatility of publicly traded stock options in our stock and our expectations of volatility for the expected term of stock-based compensation awards. As a result, if other assumptions or estimates had been used for options granted in the current and prior periods, the stock-based compensation expense of $1,284 that was recorded for the year ended February 28, 2011 could have been materially different. Furthermore, if different assumptions are used in future periods, stock-based compensation expense could be materially impacted in the future.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with the guidance issued under Statement ASC 740, "Income Taxes" with consideration for uncertain tax positions. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount of future tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized.

During Fiscal 2011, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $16.3 million through a partial reduction of its valuation allowance as a significant portion of its deferred tax assets became realizable on a more-likely-than-not basis as a result of current operating results and forecasts of pre-tax earnings. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions and with respect to its foreign tax credits and various investments which are more likely than not to generate capital losses in the future. Any further decline in the valuation allowance could have a favorable impact on our income tax provision and net income in the period in which such determination is made.

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

Results of Operations

In order to provide the reader meaningful comparison, the following analysis provides comparison of the audited year ended February 28, 2011 with the audited years ended February 28, 2010, and 2009. We analyze and explain the differences between periods in the specific line items of the consolidated statements of operations.

Year Ended February 28, 2011 Compared to the Years Ended February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009

Continuing Operations

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain Statement of Operations data for the years ended February 28, 2011 (“Fiscal 2011”), February 28, 2010 (“Fiscal 2010”) and February 28, 2009 (“Fiscal 2009”).

Net Sales



	Fiscal		Fiscal		Fiscal
	2011		2010		2009
Electronics	$	415,167	$	375,021	$	449,433
Accessories	146,505		175,674		153,666
Total net sales	$	561,672	$	550,695	$	603,099

Fiscal 2011

Electronics sales, which include both mobile and consumer electronics increased $40,146 in Fiscal 2011. This is a result of the recent acquisition of Invision which accounted for approximately $47 million, and the favorable increase in our other OEM groups as a result of new product offerings and increased automotive sales. Revenue increased in our security groups due to new product introduction and strong remote start sales. Finally, video sales were also up as a result of increased sales in the automotive market. This was partially offset by a decline in Flo TV sales due to Qualcomm's withdrawal from the direct TV market; a decline in satellite radio sales as a result of streamlined SKU's; product shortfalls as a result of a transition to new products and vendors in the portable DVD market; slower sales in our audio line and consumer good products including camcorders, clock radios and voice recorders.

Accessories sales decreased $29,169. This group was impacted by slower retail sales for products utilizing our accessory products at the retail level such as digital cables and antennas. The group has added a more diverse group of customers, however, the general economy has had an impact on sales. These declines were partially offset by our recent acquisition of Schwaiger which was present for all of Fiscal 2011.

Fiscal 2010

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

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

Sales incentive expenses were $26,279, $27,070 and $19,794 for Fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which included reversals for unclaimed and unearned sales incentives of $1,725, $2,559 and $4,083, respectively. We believe the reversal of unearned and earned but unclaimed sales incentives upon the expiration of the claim period is a disciplined, rational, consistent and systematic method of reversing unearned and earned but unclaimed sales incentives. These sales incentive programs are expected to continue and will either increase or decrease based upon competition and customer demands.

Gross Profit



	Fiscal			Fiscal			Fiscal
	2011			2010			2009
Gross profit	$	123,937		$	106,751		$	100,268
Gross margin percentage	22.1		%	19.4		%	16.6		%

Fiscal 2011

Gross margins for Fiscal 2011 increased 270 basis points as a result of improved margins throughout our product lines; a shift in product mix as products moved to OEM and security and less dependence on consumer electronics sales; lower freight and warehousing costs as a result of i) a logistics reconfiguration for product distribution, ii) the closing of a public warehouse, and iii) the renegotiation of an existing public warehouse contract; and the realization of a full year's sales from our Invision acquisition.

Fiscal 2010

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

Operating Expenses and Operating Income / (Loss)



	Fiscal		Fiscal		Fiscal
	2011		2010		2009
Operating Expenses:
Selling	$	34,517	$	30,147	$	33,505
General and administrative	68,469		63,063		70,870
Goodwill and intangible asset impairment	—		—		38,814
Engineering and technical support	11,934		9,781		10,522

Operating income (loss)	$	9,017	$	3,760	$	(53,443	)

Fiscal 2011

Operating expenses increased $11,929 in Fiscal 2011 as compared to Fiscal 2010 primarily due to our Invision acquisition which added approximately $8,300 in overhead year over year; an increase in professional fees of approximately $3,000, as a result of i) approximately $990 in Klipsch acquisition fees, ii) increased legal fees as a result of defense of royalty rights and infringements, and iii) increased audit fees as a result of Company expansion; and the return of temporary salary reductions to all employees at the vice president level and above. The Company also experienced increases in advertising and trade show expenses in our International operations of approximately $900, and $830 in higher bad debt provisions primarily as a result of the finalization of a bankruptcy settlement and increased reserves for a certain customer.

Fiscal 2010

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

Other Income/(Expense)



	Fiscal			Fiscal			Fiscal

Other, net	3,204			1,876			(1,669		)
Total other income (expense)	$	3,479		$	7,395		$	(2,511	)

Fiscal 2011

Other income decreased $3,916 primarily as a result of the $5,400 gain on bargain purchase from the Company’s Schwaiger acquisition and a gain recorded on a foreign exchange contract both recorded in Fiscal 2010, and a loss of approximately $300 associated with the write-off of a portion of a notes receivable recorded in connection with the Company's divestiture of its Malaysian operation, partially offset by the net foreign exchange gain on U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities in Venezuela and an other-than-temporary impairment of $1.5 million on a investment of the Company.

Interest and bank charges increased due to interest recorded to accrete contingent consideration and future liabilities recorded in connection with our acquisitions.

Equity in income of equity investees increased due to increased equity income of Audiovox Specialized Applications, Inc. (ASA) as a result of improved sales and profitability due to improvements in the commercial and RV sector of its business.

Fiscal 2010

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

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

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

Income Tax Provision

The effective tax rate in Fiscal 2011 was an income tax benefit of (84.3)% on pre-tax income from continuing operations of $12,496 as compared to a benefit of (101.5)% on a pre-tax income of $11,155 from continuing operations in the prior year.

The effective tax rate in Fiscal 2011 was lower than the statutory tax rate due the Company's ability to record an income tax benefit as a significant portion of the Company's deferred tax assets became realizable on a more-likely-than-not basis based on current operating results and forecasts of pre-tax earnings and U.S. taxable income.

The effective tax rate in Fiscal 2010 was lower than the statutory rate due the Company's ability to record an income tax benefit through a reduction in its valuation allowance of $10.1 million in connection with the carryback of certain net operating losses as a result of new legislation enacted in Fiscal 2010, and the recognition of $4.6 million of uncertain tax positions as the result of the expiration of various statute of limitations.

Net Income

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



	Fiscal		Fiscal		Fiscal
	2011		2010		2009
Operating income (loss)	$	9,017	$	3,760	$	(53,443	)
Other income (loss), net	3,479		7,395		(2,511		)
Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes	12,496		11,155		(55,954		)
Income tax benefit (expense)	10,535		11,328		(15,075		)
Net income (loss)	$	23,031	$	22,483	$	(71,029	)

Net income (loss) per common share:
Basic	$	1.00	$	0.98	$	(3.11	)
Diluted	$	1.00	$	0.98	$	(3.11	)

In Fiscal 2011, net income was favorably impacted by the net tax benefits of approximately $10,500 as a result of a partial reduction of a valuation allowance on deferred taxes. During Fiscal 2010, the Company was impacted by several non-standard charges related to the economy, market conditions, customers and other events as outlined in the Annual Report for Fiscal 2010. Net income (loss) was also favorably impacted by sales incentive reversals of $1,725 ($0 after taxes), $2,559 ($0 after taxes) and $4,083 ($0 after taxes) in Fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows, Commitments and Obligations

As of February 28, 2011, we had working capital of $258,528 which includes cash and cash equivalents of $98,630 compared with working capital of $239,787 at February 28, 2010, which included cash and cash equivalents of $69,511. During the fiscal year, the Company sold its investment in auction rate securities, bought and sold an investment in mutual funds, collected on a put option associated with the bankruptcy of a customer, and had improved collections on accounts receivable. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in inventory movements and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses. 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 or pay down our debt. The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for all periods presented:



	Year Ended			Year Ended			Year Ended
	February 28, 2011			February 28, 2010			February 28, 2009
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	32,130		$	28,222		$	30,006
Investing activities	1,420			(25,009		)	(3,991		)
Financing activities	(4,382		)	(1,222		)	4,655
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash	(49		)	(1,984		)	(507		)
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	29,119		$	7		$	30,163

Operating activities provided cash of $32,130 for Fiscal 2011 from: i) net income generated from operations of $23,031, and depreciation and amortization of $7,865, and ; ii) decreased accounts receivable due to improved collections; partially offset by increased inventory and decreased accounts payable and accrued expenses due to the timing and payment of invoices and expenses.

Investing activities provided cash of $1,420 during Fiscal 2011, primarily due to the sale of its auction rate securities, partially offset by capital expenditures.

Financing activities used cash of $4,382 during Fiscal 2011, primarily from the repayment of the Suntrust loan and bank obligations.

As of February 28, 2011, we had a domestic three-year credit facility to fund the temporary short-term working capital needs of the Company which allowed aggregate borrowings of up to $15,000 at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.5%. This facility was terminated and replaced as indicated below on March 1, 2011.

As of March 1, 2011, the Company has a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with an aggregated committed availability of up to $175 million (the “Maximum Credit”). This amount may be increased at the option of the Company up to a maximum of $200 million. The Credit Facility includes a $25 million sublimit for issuances of letters of credit and a $20 million sublimit for Swing Loans.

The Company may borrow under the Credit Facility as needed, provided the aggregate amounts outstanding will not exceed 85% of certain eligible accounts receivable, plus 65% of certain eligible inventory balances less the outstanding amounts for Letters of Credit Usage, if applicable. This amount may be further reduced by the aggregated amounts of reserves that may be required at the reasonable discretion of Wells Fargo in its role as the Administrative Agent.

Generally, the Company may designate specific borrowings under the Credit Facility as either Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, except that Swing Loans may only be designated as Base Rate Loans. Loans designated as LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the then applicable LIBOR rate plus a range of 2.25 - 2.75% based on excess availability in the borrowing base. Loans designated as Base Rate loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25 - 1.75% based on excess availability in the borrowing base.

All amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility will mature and become due on March 1, 2016. The Company may prepay any amounts outstanding at any time, subject to payment of certain breakage and redeployment costs relating to LIBOR Rate Loans. The commitments under the Credit Facility may be irrevocably reduced at any time without premium or penalty.

The Credit Agreement contains covenants that limit the ability of certain entities of the Company to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) incur liens; (iii) merge, consolidate or exit a substantial portion of their business; (iv) transfer or dispose of assets; (v) change their names, organizational identification number, state or province of organization or organizational identity; (vi) make any material change in their nature of business; (vii) prepay or otherwise acquire indebtedness; (viii) cause any Change of Control; (ix) make any Restricted Junior Payment; (x) change their fiscal year or method of accounting; (xi) make advances, loans or investments; (xii) enter into or permit any transactions with an Affiliate of certain entities of the Company; (xiii) use proceeds for certain items; (xiv) issue or sell any of their stock; and/pr (xv) consign or sell any of their inventory on certain terms.

In addition, at any time that Excess Availability falls below 12.5% of the Maximum Credit, the Company must maintain a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for certain entities, of not less than 1.0:1.0 until such time as Excess Availability has equaled or exceeded 12.5% of the Maximum Availability at all times for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days.

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation: failure to pay when due principal amounts in respect of the Credit Facility; failure to pay any interest or other amounts under the Credit Facility for a period of three (3) business days after becoming due; failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants in the Credit Agreement; failure to satisfy certain judgments against a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries; certain insolvency and bankruptcy events; and failure to pay when due certain indebtedness in principal amount in excess of $5 million.

The Obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a general lien on and security interest in substantially all of the assets of certain entities of the Company, including accounts receivable, equipment, real estate, general intangibles and inventory. The Company has guaranteed the obligations of all entities under the Credit Agreement.

On March 1, 2011, the Company borrowed approximately $89 million under this credit facility as a result of its stock purchase agreement related to Klipsch Group, Inc (see Subsequent Event footnote, note 15, in this Form 10K).

In addition, Audiovox Germany has accounts receivable factoring arrangements totaling 16,000 Euro, a 4,000 Euro Asset-Based Lending (“ABL”) credit facility and a 2,000 credit line.

Certain contractual cash obligations and other commercial commitments will impact our short and long-term liquidity. At February 28, 2011, such obligations and commitments are as follows:



	Payments Due by Period (8)
			Less than		1-3		4-5		After

(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 $102 and $5,348, respectively at February 28, 2011.


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


(3)	Represents amounts outstanding under the Audiovox Germany factoring agreement at February 28, 2011.


(4)	Commercial letters of credit are issued during the ordinary course of business through major domestic banks as requested by certain suppliers. We also issue standby letters of credit to secure certain bank obligations and insurance requirements.


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


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


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


(8)	At February 28, 2011, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $3,335, including $1,738 of excess tax benefits for stock-compensation deductions which have not yet reduced the Company's current taxes payable as prescribed by ASC 718. A reasonable estimate of the timing related to the $1,597 of liabilities is not possible.

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Impact of Inflation and Currency Fluctuation

To the extent that we expand our operations into Europe, Canada, Latin America and the Pacific Rim, the effects of inflation and currency fluctuations could impact our financial condition and results of operations. While the prices we pay for products purchased from our suppliers are principally denominated in United States dollars, price negotiations depend in part on the foreign currency of foreign manufacturers, as well as market, trade and political factors. The Company also has exposure related to transactions in which the currency collected from customers is different from the currency utilized to purchase the product sold in its foreign operations. In Fiscal 2010 and Fiscal 2011, our German subsidiary entered into certain forward contracts to hedge the currency exposure for its U.S. dollar denominated assets, liabilities and future commitments. The Company minimized the risk of nonperformance on the forward contracts by transacting with a major financial institution in the European market. The contracts opened in Fiscal 2010 were not specifically connected to any assets, liabilities or future commitments, and as such the gains or losses associated with these foreign exchange contracts were evaluated and recorded, as applicable, on the measurement date. As of February 28, 2011, all of these foreign exchange contracts opened in Fiscal 2010 were closed. One contract with a fair value of $85 remains to be settled. During Fiscal 2011, we recorded a gain of $828 associated with the Fiscal 2010 contracts. In Fiscal 2011, the Company opened forward exchange contracts with a notional value of approximately $25 million which were specifically designated for hedging. As of February 28, 2011, unrealized gains of $238 were recorded in other comprehensive income associated with these contracts (see Note 1(e)).

On 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. Products sold by our Venezuelan operation are classified as non-essential, however, the Company has certain US dollar denominated assets and liabilities for which the 2.60 rate was applied. During the nine months ended November 30, 2010, a foreign exchange loss of approximately $1.5 million had been recorded in the Company's financial statements associated with its U.S. dollar denominated investment. This loss had been offset by the foreign exchange gain recorded on its U.S. dollar denominated intercompany debt. Losses of $336 associated with the above investment, recorded prior to the transition to hyperinflationary accounting on March 1, 2010, were reclassified from Other comprehensive income/(loss) to investments during the three months ended February 28, 2011. In January, 2011, the Venezuelan government eliminated the two-tier exchange rate. As such, the US dollar denominated assets and liabilities which were previously recorded at 2.60 were revalued at 4.30. During the three months ended February 28, 2011, a translation gain of approximately $2,900 was recorded through the financial statements associated with its TICC bond (See Note 1(f)). This gain was offset by approximately a $1,500 loss on U.S. dollar denominated intercompany debt.

Effective January 1, 2010, according to the guidelines in ASC 830, Venezuela had 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 transitioned to hyper-inflationary accounting on March 1, 2010 and will continue to account for Venezuela under this method.

Seasonality

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

Related Party Transactions

During 1998, we entered into a 30-year capital lease for a building with our principal stockholder and chairman, which was the headquarters of the discontinued Cellular operation sold in 2004. Payments on the capital lease were based upon the construction costs of the building and the then-current interest rates. This capital lease was refinanced in December 2006 and the lease expires on November 30, 2026. The effective interest rate on the capital lease obligation is 8%. On November 1, 2004, we entered into an agreement to sublease the building to UTStarcom for monthly payments of $46 until November 1, 2009. 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 February 28, 2015 are $6,735.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

Item 7A-Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities at February 28, 2011, which are recorded at fair value of $3,872, include an unrealized loss of $1,157 and have exposure to price fluctuations. This risk is estimated as the potential loss in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in prices quoted by stock exchanges and amounts to $387 as of February 28, 2011. Actual results may differ.

Interest Rate Risk

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

Foreign Exchange Risk

We are subject to risk from changes in foreign exchange rates for our subsidiaries and marketable securities that use a foreign currency as their functional currency and are translated into U.S. dollars. These changes result in cumulative translation adjustments, which are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). At February 28, 2011, we had translation exposure to various foreign currencies with the most significant being the Euro, Thailand Baht, Malaysian Ringgit, Hong Kong Dollar, Mexican Peso, Venezuelan Bolivar and Canadian Dollar. The potential loss resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in quoted foreign currency exchange rates, as of February 28, 2011 amounts to $2,920. Actual results may differ.

Item 9A-Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon this evaluation as of February 28, 2011, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective and adequately designed.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting; as such term is defined in the Securities and Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). The Company’s internal control over

financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:


•	Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;


•	Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and


•	Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

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

Management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2011. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of February 28, 2011 based on the COSO criteria.

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

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2011, has been audited by Grant Thornton LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm who also audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Grant Thornton LLP’s attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is included below.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Audiovox Corporation

We have audited Audiovox Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries’ (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

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

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

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

In our opinion, Audiovox Corporation and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Audiovox Corporation and subsidiaries as of February 28, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 28, 2011, and our report dated May 16, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Audiovox Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Audiovox Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of February 28, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 28, 2011. Our audits of the basic financial statements included the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Audiovox Corporation and subsidiaries as of February 28, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 28, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

February 28, 2011

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


1)	Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a)Description of Business and Accounting Principles

On March 1, 2011, the Company acquired Klipsch Group, Inc. through a stock purchase as outlined in the Subsequent Events footnote (Note 15).

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

b)Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Audiovox Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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

c)Use of Estimates

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

d)Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits with banks and highly liquid money market funds with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $98,630

Audiovox Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

February 28, 2011

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

and $69,511 at February 28, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Cash amounts held in foreign bank accounts amounted to $6,330 and $7,089 at February 28, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The majority of these amounts are in excess of government insurance. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in institutions and funds of high credit quality. We perform periodic evaluations of these institutions and funds.

e)Fair Value Measurements and Derivatives

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 February 28, 2011:

(a)	There were no events or changes in circumstances that occurred to indicate a significant adverse effect on the cost of this investment.


(b)	During Fiscal 2011, the Venezuelan government temporarily restricted the local brokerage houses inhibiting the Company's ability to obtain a fair value in the open market on this investment. As such, we have transferred our held-to-maturity investment in Venezuelan government bonds from Level 1 to Level 2.

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.

Derivative Instruments

The Company's derivative instruments include forward foreign currency contracts utilized to hedge a portion of its foreign currency inventory purchases as well as its general economic exposure to foreign currency fluctuations created in the normal course of business. The derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting are designated as cash flow hedges and valued using observable forward rates (Level 1). Forward foreign currency contracts not designated under hedged transactions are valued at spot rates (Level 1). The duration of open forward foreign currency contracts range from 1 - 12 months and are classified in the balance sheet according to their terms.

It is the Company's policy to enter into derivative instrument contracts with terms that coincide with the underlying exposure being hedged. As such, the Company's derivative instruments are expected to be highly effective. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, is expensed as incurred through other income in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Financial Statement Classification

The Company holds derivative instruments that are designated as hedging instruments as well as certain instruments not so designated. The following table discloses the fair value as of February 28, 2011 for both types of derivative instruments:

Audiovox Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

February 28, 2011

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



	Asset Derivatives
	Account	Fair Value
Designated derivative instruments
Foreign currency contracts	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	238

Derivatives not designated
Foreign currency contracts	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	85

Total derivatives		$	323

As of February 28, 2011, the Company held foreign currency contracts with a notional value of $500, which were derivatives not designated in hedged transactions. These contracts were closed during our second fiscal quarter with final settlement of the remaining contract to be completed by March 2011. During the twelve months ended February 28, 2011, the Company recorded gains on the change in fair value of these derivatives of $828 recorded in other income and expense on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Cash flow hedges

In November 2010 and January 2011, the Company entered into forward foreign currency contracts, with a notional value of $21,000 and $4,200, respectively, which were designated as cash flow hedges. For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

Activity related to cash flow hedges recorded during the twelve months ended February 28, 2011 was as follows:



	February 28, 2011
	Gain (Loss) Recognized in Other Comprehensive Income		Gain (Loss) Reclassified into Cost of Sales		Gain (Loss) for Ineffectiveness in Other Income
Cash flow hedges
Foreign currency contracts	$	238	$	—	$	—

The net gain recognized in other comprehensive income for foreign currency contracts is expected to be recognized in cost of sales within the next fifteen months. No amounts were excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness during the respective periods. As of February 28, 2011, no contracts originally designated for hedged accounting were de-designated or terminated. The Company did not hold derivatives designated for hedge accounting during Fiscal 2010.

f)Investment Securities

In accordance with the Company's investment policy, all long and short-term investment securities are invested in "investment grade" rated securities. As of February 28, 2011 and 2010, the Company had the following investments:

Short-Term Investments

Trading Securities

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 ranged from less than one year to long-term, however, the long-term securities could be actively traded in broker/dealer markets. The investment had been classified withing trading securities with all gains and losses, in addition to interest earned, recorded through the income statement in other income. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2011, the Company sold this short-term investment.

Long-Term Investments

Trading Securities

The Company’s trading securities consist of mutual funds, which are held in connection with the Company’s deferred compensation plan (see Note 9). Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities offset those associated with the corresponding deferred compensation liability.

Available-For-Sale Securities

The Company’s available-for-sale marketable securities include a less than 20% equity ownership in CLST Holdings, Inc. (“Cellstar”) and Bliss-tel Public Company Limited (“Bliss-tel”), and taxable auction rate notes which have long-term maturity dates (October 2038) which were sold during Fiscal 2011.

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

During its fiscal third quarter, the Company sold its investment in an auction rate security with a par value of $4,550 through participation in a tender offer. The Company received discounted proceeds of $4,368 resulting in a realized loss of $182 recorded in other income and expense. The accumulated unrealized loss of $447 was reversed out of other comprehensive income during the quarter.

The fair value of the Cellstar and Bliss-tel investments are determined by quoted prices in active markets as they are publicly traded. On December 13, 2004, one of the Company's former equity investments, Bliss-tel,

Audiovox Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

February 28, 2011

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

issued 575,000,000 shares on the SET (Security Exchange of Thailand) for an offering price of 2.48 baht per share. Prior to the issuance of these shares, the Company was a 20% shareholder in Bliss-tel and, subsequent to the offering, the Company owned 75,000,000 shares (or approximately 13%) of Bliss-tel's outstanding stock. In addition, on July 21, 2005, the Company received 22,500,000 warrants ("the warrants") which may be exercised beginning on September 29, 2006, and expire on July 17, 2012. Each warrant is exercisable into one share of Bliss-tel common stock at an exercise price of 8 baht per share.

During the year ended February 29, 2008, the Company sold 32,898,500 shares of Bliss-tel stock resulting in a gain of $1,533. During Fiscal 2010, Bliss-tel concluded a 4:1 reverse stock split. Accordingly, all share data has been retroactively restated. As of February 28, 2011 and 2010, the Company owns 36,250,000 shares and 22,500,000 warrants in Bliss-tel with an aggregate fair value of $62 and $80, respectively.

A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed other-than-temporary results in a reduction in carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. The Company considers numerous factors, on a case-by-case basis, in evaluating whether the decline in market value of an available-for-sale security below cost is other-than-temporary. Such factors include, but are not limited to, (i) the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost; (ii) the financial condition and the near-term prospects of the issuer of the investment; and (iii) whether the Company's intent to retain the investment for the period of time is sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. In Fiscal 2010, the Company determined that its investment in Bliss-tel was other than temporarily impaired based on its market price (which has been below our cost in excess of twelve months), Bliss-tel's recent losses, its deteriorating financial position, and conditions in the local and global economy, as well as the political environment in Thailand. This impairment of $1,000 related to the approximate value of the warrants which the Company determined it would not exercise. During Fiscal 2011, the Company continued to monitor the business plans and performance of Bliss-tel. Management noted that, during the year, Bliss-tel successfully restructured its debt position on favorable terms to the company; they further reduced overhead and discontinued non-profitable locations; they weathered the political unrest in the local metropolitan environments; they raised additional capital; and finally, they retained the services of a financial consultant to develop a new business strategy. Notwithstanding these positive factors, there are certain negative factors, exclusive of those associated with macroeconomics, which impacted management's consideration of the value of this investment. Specifically, the company continued to incur significant losses from operations, which raised substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue for a period of time in which management could anticipate a full recovery. Therefore, management determined that an additional portion of its investment was other-than-temporarily impaired. A loss of $1,600 was recorded on the income statement through other income and expense. As of February 28, 2011, the Company maintains approximately $1.2 million in unrealized losses on this investment in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company will continue to evaluate this investment throughout Fiscal 2012, to determine the success of Bliss-tel's business plan, and the impact of the retention of the financial consultant on the company's performance and the associated market value. It is possible that the company's efforts may not be successful. In the event they are not successful, management will need to determine if further other-than-temporary impairments exist.

Held-to-Maturity Investment

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 when purchased. During the second fiscal quarter of 2011, the Company was advised that the exchange rate on these bonds would no longer float with current exchange rates, and was set at 2.6, the lower of the two-tier exchange rate. Management had reclassified the investment to available for sale as a result of the adoption of its strategy for this investment to liquidate the bonds as soon as market conditions warrant and satisfy its U.S. dollar obligations with the funds. In January, 2011, the Venezuelan government eliminated the two-tier exchange rate. As the Company is not dependent on the cash flow associated with the TICC's, management determined that the significant change in circumstances associated with the TICC's would allow it to resume its original strategy to hold its investment until 2015 and realize the full maturity value. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2011, the Company reclassified the Venezuelan TICC's as held-to-maturity and will continue to account for the investment under the cost method.

Other Long-Term Investments

Audiovox Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

February 28, 2011

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

Other long-term investments include an investment in a non-controlled corporation of $2,126 accounted for by the cost method. During Fiscal 2011, the Company invested an additional $257 in this investment as part of a capital infusion by four select investors. As a result, as of February 28, 2011, the Company held approximately 14% of the outstanding shares of this company.

g)Revenue Recognition

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

The Company includes all costs incurred for shipping and handling as cost of sales and all amounts billed to customers as revenue. During February 28, 2011 , 2010 , and 2009 , freight costs expensed through cost of sales amounted to $13,399, $12,657 and $17,062, respectively and freight billed to customers amounted to $1,161, $985 and $546, respectively.

h)Accounts Receivable

The majority of the Company's accounts receivable are due from companies in the retail, mass merchant and OEM industries. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer's financial condition. Accounts receivable are generally due within 30-60 days and are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than the contracted payment terms are considered past due.

Accounts receivable is comprised of the following:



	February 28, 2011		February 28, 2010
Trade accounts receivable and other	$	115,112	$	137,793
Less:
Allowance for doubtful accounts	6,179		5,742
Allowance for cash discounts	885		785
	$	108,048	$	131,266

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

i)Inventory

The Company values its inventory at the lower of the actual cost to purchase (primarily on a weighted moving-average basis with a portion valued at standard cost) and/or the current estimated market value of the inventory

Audiovox Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

February 28, 2011

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

less expected costs to sell the inventory. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on-hand and records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily from selling prices, indications from customers based upon current price negotiations and purchase orders. The Company's industry is characterized by rapid technological change and frequent new product introductions that could result in an increase in the amount of obsolete inventory quantities on-hand. The Company recorded inventory write-downs of $3,911, $2,972 and $13,818 for the years ended February 28, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Inventories by major category are as follows:



	February 28, 2011		February 28, 2010
Raw materials	$	10,562	$	4,428
Work in process	1,653		300
Finished goods	101,405		97,989
Inventory, net	$	113,620	$	102,717

The Company's estimates of excess and obsolete inventory may prove to be inaccurate, in which case the Company may have understated or overstated the provision required for excess and obsolete inventory. Although the Company makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of its forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand, price or technological developments could have a significant impact on the value of the Company's inventory and reported operating results.

j)Property, Plant and Equipment

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

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



	February 28, 2011		February 28, 2010
Land	$	338	$	338
Buildings	6,749		6,749
Property under capital lease	6,981		6,981
Furniture, fixtures and displays	3,782		3,741
Machinery and equipment	9,074		8,637
Construction-in-progress	20		—
Computer hardware and software	28,914		26,884
Automobiles	827		752
Leasehold improvements	6,487		6,299
	63,172		60,381
Less accumulated depreciation and amortization	43,609		38,236
	$	19,563	$	22,145

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

Audiovox Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

February 28, 2011

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



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

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

Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment amounted to $5,576, $5,713 and $5,653 for the years ended February 28, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Included in depreciation and amortization expense is amortization of computer software costs of $562, $1,015 and $1,127 for the years ended February 28, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Also included in depreciation expense is $251 of depreciation related to property under a capital lease for the years ended February 28, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

k)Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and other intangible assets consist of the excess over the fair value of assets acquired (goodwill) and other intangible assets (patents, contracts, trademarks/tradenames and customer relationships). Values assigned to the respective assets are determined in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”) and Statement of ASC 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”).

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

The value of potential intangible assets separate from goodwill are evaluated and assigned to the respective categories. The largest categories from recent acquired businesses are Trademarks and Customer Relationships. The FV’s of trademarks acquired are determined using the Relief from Royalty Method based on projected sales of the trademarked products. The FV’s of customer relationships are determined using the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method which includes a DCF analysis, adjusted for a required return on tangible and intangible assets. The guidance in ASC 350, including management’s business intent for its use; ongoing market demand for products relevant to the category and their ability to generate future cash flows; legal, regulatory or contractual provisions on its use or subsequent renewal, as applicable; and the cost to maintain or renew the rights to the assets; are considered in determining the useful life of all intangible assets. If the Company determines that there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors which limit the useful life of the asset, an indefinite life will be assigned and evaluated for impairment as indicated below. Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not amortized. Intangible assets that have a definite useful life are amortized over their estimated useful life.

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are required to be tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that could more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are required to be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment. Our impairment reviews require the use of certain estimates. If a significant change in these estimates occurs, the Company could experience an impairment charge associated with these assets in future periods.

The Company’s goodwill balance at February 28, 2011 and 2010 consisted solely of goodwill associated with its acquisition of Invision, whose purchase price was finalized in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2011. Management reviewed the performance of Invision since our acquisition and determined that our goodwill is not impaired. For intangible assets with an indefinite life, primarily trademarks, the Company compared the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount and determined that there was no impairment at February 28, 2011 and 2010. To compute the fair value, various considerations were evaluated including current sales associated with

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

these brands, management’s expectations for future sales, performance of the business group and proximity to acquisition date fair values. At the present time, management intends to continue the development, marketing and selling of products associated with its intangible assets and there are no known restrictions on the continuation of their use. We utilized a relief-from-royalty method considering current sales associated with these brands, management's expectations for future sales, performance of the business group and proximity to acquisition date fair values. Royalty rates of 1.0% to 8.5% were used for the relative trademarks and domain names after reviewing comparable market rates, the profitability of the product associated with relative intangible asset, and other qualitative factors. We determined that a discount rate of 16% was appropriate as a result of a weighted average cost of capital analysis.

The cost of other intangible assets with definite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective lives. Management has determined that the current lives of these assets are appropriate.The expected future cash flows related to intangible assets with definite lives exceeded their carrying values and as such, were not impaired at February 28, 2011 and 2010. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $38.8 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2009, $28.8 million of which related to goodwill and resulted in the entire balance being written off. The remaining impairment of $9,976 in 2009 related to intangible assets with indefinite lives which were also deemed to be impaired. All impairment charges were reflected in pre-tax operating income on the Company’s financial statements.

Total	$	102,689	$	5,463	$	97,226

During the year ended February 28, 2011, the Company recorded $12 of patents subject to amortization and $2,109 of amortizing intangibles, partially offset by a reduction of $606 indefinite life intangibles in connection with the final purchase price allocation for its Invision and Omega acquisitions. The weighted-average remaining amortization period for amortizing intangibles as of February 28, 2011 is approximately 10 years. The Company expenses the renewal costs of patents as incurred. The weighted-average period before the next renewal is approximately 9 years.

Amortization expense for intangible assets amounted to $2,255, $1,946 and $1,626 for the years ended February 28, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The estimated aggregate amortization expense for all amortizable intangibles for each of the succeeding years ending February 28, 2016 is as follows:



Fiscal Year	Amount
2012	$	1,834
2013	1,740
2014	1,554
2015	1,545
2016	1,439

l)Sales Incentives

The Company offers sales incentives to its customers in the form of (1) co-operative advertising allowances; (2) market development funds; (3) volume incentive rebates and (4) other trade allowances. The Company accounts for sales incentives in accordance with ASC 605-50 “Customer Payments and Incentives” (“ASC 605-50”). Except for other trade allowances, all sales incentives require the customer to purchase the Company's products during a specified period of time. All sales incentives require customers to claim the sales incentive within a certain time period (referred to as the "claim period") and claims are settled either by the customer claiming a deduction against an outstanding account receivable or by the customer requesting a cash payout. All costs associated with sales incentives are classified as a reduction of net sales. The following is a summary of the various sales incentive programs:

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

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

February 28, 2011

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

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

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

The accrual balance for sales incentives at February 28, 2011 and 2010 was $11,981 and $10,606, respectively. Although the Company makes its best estimate of its sales incentive liability, many factors, including significant unanticipated changes in the purchasing volume of its customers and the lack of claims made by customers could have a significant impact on the sales incentives liability and reported operating results.

For the years ended February 28, 2011, 2010 and 2009, reversals of previously established sales incentive liabilities amounted to $1,725, $2,559 and $4,083, respectively. These reversals include unearned and unclaimed sales incentives. Reversals of unearned sales incentives are volume incentive rebates where the customer did not purchase the required minimum quantities of product during the specified time. Volume incentive rebates are reversed into income in the period when the customer did not reach the required minimum purchases of product during the specified time. Unearned sales incentives for the years ended February 28, 2011, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $977, $1,369 and $1,664, respectively. Unclaimed sales incentives are sales incentives earned by the customer but the customer has not claimed payment from the Company within the claim period (period after program has ended). Unclaimed sales incentives for the years ended February 28, 2011, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $748, $1,190 and $2,419, respectively.

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

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



	Year Ended			Year Ended			Year Ended
	February 28, 2011			February 28, 2010			February 28, 2009
Opening balance	$	10,606		$	7,917		$	10,768
Accruals	28,004			29,629			23,877
Payments	(24,904		)	(24,381		)	(22,645		)
Reversals for unearned incentives	(977		)	(1,369		)	(1,664		)
Reversals for unclaimed incentives	(748		)	(1,190		)	(2,419		)
Ending balance	$	11,981		$	10,606		$	7,917

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

m)Advertising

Excluding co-operative advertising, the Company expensed the cost of advertising, as incurred, of $6,076, $5,420 and $6,523 for the years ended February 28, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

n)Product Warranties and Product Repair Costs

The Company generally warranties its products against certain manufacturing and other defects. The Company provides warranties for all of its products ranging from 90 days to the lifetime of the product. Warranty expenses are accrued at the time of sale based on the Company's estimated cost to repair expected product returns for warranty matters. This liability is based primarily on historical experiences of actual warranty claims as well as current information on repair costs. The warranty liability of $5,956 and $7,853 is recorded in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of February 28, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In addition, the Company records a reserve for product repair costs which is based upon the quantities of defective inventory on hand and an estimate of the cost to repair such defective inventory. The reserve for product repair costs of $3,095 and $5,205 is recorded as a reduction to inventory in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of February 28, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Warranty claims and product repair costs expense for the years ended February 28, 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $11,560, $12,052 and $12,187, respectively.

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



	Year Ended			Year Ended			Year Ended
	February 28, 2011			February 28, 2010			February 28, 2009
Beginning balance	$	13,058		$	14,410		$	17,319
Liabilities acquired during acquisitions (see Note 2)	115			879			—
Liabilities accrued for warranties issued	11,560			12,052			12,187
Warranty claims paid	(15,568		)	(14,283		)	(15,096		)
Ending balance	$	9,165		$	13,058		$	14,410

o)Foreign Currency

Assets and liabilities of those subsidiaries and former equity investees located outside the United States whose cash flows are primarily in local currencies have been translated at rates of exchange at the end of the period or historical exchange rates, as appropriate in accordance with ASC 830, "Foreign Currency Matters" (“ASC 830”). Revenues and expenses have been translated at the weighted-average rates of exchange in effect during the period. Gains and losses resulting from translation are recorded in the cumulative foreign currency translation account in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). For the years ended February 28, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded foreign currency transaction gains in the amount of $2,241, $1,362 and $60, respectively.

The Company has certain operations in Venezuela. Venezuela has recently been operating in a difficult economic environment, which has been troubled with local political issues and various foreign currency and price controls. The country has experienced high rates of inflation over the last several years. The President of Venezuela has the authority to legislate certain areas by decree, which allows the government to nationalize certain industries or expropriate certain companies and property. These factors may have a negative impact on our business and our financial condition. In 2003, Venezuela created the Commission of Administration of Foreign Currency (“CADIVI”) which establishes and administers currency controls and their associated rules and regulations. These controls include creating a fixed exchange rate between the Bolivar and the U.S. Dollar, and the ability to restrict the exchange of Bolivar Fuertes for U.S. Dollars and vice versa.

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 transitioned to hyper-inflationary accounting on March 1, 2010 and continues to account for Venezuela under this method.

On 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. Products sold by our Venezuelan operation are classified as non-essential, however, the Company has certain US dollar denominated assets and liabilities for which the 2.60 rate was applied. During the nine months ended November 30, 2010, a foreign exchange loss of approximately $1.5 million had been recorded in the Company's financial statements associated with its U.S. dollar denominated investment. This loss had been offset by the foreign exchange gain recorded on its U.S. dollar denominated intercompany debt. Losses of $336 associated with the above investment, recorded prior to the transition to hyperinflationary accounting on March 1, 2010, were reclassified from Other comprehensive income/(loss) to investments during the three months ended February 28, 2011. In January, 2011, the Venezuelan government eliminated the two-tier exchange rate. As such, the U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities which were previously recorded at 2.60 were revalued at 4.30. During the three months ended February 28, 2011, a translation gain of approximately $2,900 was recorded through the financial statements associated with its TICC bond (See Note 1(f)). This gain was offset by approximately a $1,500 loss on U.S. dollar denominated intercompany debt.

On June 9, 2010, the Venezuelan government introduced a newly regulated foreign currency exchange system, Sistema de Transacciones con Titulos en Moneda Extranjera (“SITME”), which is controlled by the Central Bank of Venezuela (“BCV”). The SITME imposes volume restrictions on the conversion of Venezuelan Bolivar Fuertes to U.S. Dollars, currently limiting such activity to a maximum equivalent of $350,000 per month. As a result of this restriction, we have limited new U.S. dollar purchases to remain within the guidelines imposed by SITME.

p)Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled (see Note 7). The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Uncertain Tax Positions

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

Tax interest and penalties

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

q)Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

February 28, 2011

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

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

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



	Year Ended	Year Ended	Year Ended
	February 28, 2011	February 28, 2010	February 28, 2009
Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (basic)	22,938,754	22,875,651	22,860,402
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock options and stock warrants	173,764	44,014	—
Weighted-average number of common and potential common shares outstanding (diluted)	23,112,518	22,919,665	22,860,402

Stock options and stock warrants totaling 165,802, 1,221,200 and 1,544,225 for the years ended February 28, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, were not included in the net income (loss) per common share calculation because the exercise price of these options and warrants were greater than the average market price of common stock during the period or these options and warrants were anti-dilutive due to losses during the respective periods.

r)Other Income (Loss)

Other income (loss) is comprised of the following:



	Year Ended			Year Ended			Year Ended
	February 28, 2011			February 28, 2010			February 28, 2009
Other-than-temporary impairment of investment in Bliss-tel marketable securities	$	(1,600	)	$	(1,000	)	$	—
Interest Income	1,453			990			1,260
Rental income	530			537			538
Other	2,821			1,349			(3,467		)
Total other, net	$	3,204		$	1,876		$	(1,669	)

Other income (loss) includes a translation gain of approximately $1,400 for the year ended February 28, 2011 related to the elimination of the 2.6 exchange rate in Venezuela.

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

Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360 whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Recoverability of assets held for sale is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to their estimated fair market value. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.

t)Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

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

The Company has stock option plans under which employees and non-employee directors may be granted incentive stock options (“ISO's”) and non-qualified stock options (“NQSO's”) to purchase shares of Class A common stock. Under the stock option plans, the exercise price of the ISO's will not be less than the market value of the Company's Class A common stock or greater than 110% of the market value of the Company's Class A common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of the NQSO's may not be less than 50% of the market value of the Company's Class A common stock on the date of grant. The plan permits for options to be exercised at various intervals as determined by the Board of Directors. However, the maximum expiration period is ten years from date of grant. The vesting requirements are determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant. Exercised options are issued from authorized Class A Common Stock. As of February 28, 2011, 1,773,637 shares were available for future grants under the terms of these plans.

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

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

In addition, the Company issued 17,500 warrants in September of 2009 to purchase the Company’s common stock with the same terms as those above as consideration for future legal services. Accordingly, the Company recorded additional legal expense in the amount of approximately $25 and $22 for the years ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, representing the fair value of the warrants issued. These warrants are included in the outstanding options and warrant table below and considered exercisable at February 28, 2009.

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

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

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

The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during the year ended February 28, 2010 and 2009 was $2.70 and $1.44, respectively on the date of grant.

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

	Year Ended		Year Ended
	February 28, 2010		February 28, 2009
Dividend yield	0	%	0	%
Volatility	55.9% - 69.0%		47.0	%
Risk-free interest rate	1.46% - 0.97%		5.0	%
Expected life (years)	3.7 and 2.2		2.0

The expected dividend yield is based on historical and projected dividend yields. The Company estimates expected volatility based primarily on historical price changes of the Company’s stock equal to the expected life of the option. During Fiscal 2011, the Company changed from daily stock prices to monthly stock prices as the Company’s stock experiences low-volume trading. We believe that daily fluctuations are distortive to the volatility and as such will continue to use monthly inputs in the future. The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant. The expected option term is the number of years the Company estimates the options will be outstanding prior to exercise based on employment termination behavior.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense (before deferred income tax benefits) for awards granted under the Company’s stock option plans in the following line items in the consolidated statement of operations:



	Year Ended		Year Ended		Year Ended
	February 28, 2011		February 28, 2010		February 28, 2009
Cost of sales	$	18	$	17	$	7
Selling expense	89		165		63
General and administrative expenses	1,172		951		234
Engineering and technical support	5		5		5
Stock-based compensation expense before income tax benefits	$	1,284	$	1,138	$	309

Net income was impacted by $1,284 (after tax), $1,138 (after tax) and $309 (after tax) in stock based compensation expense or $0.06, $0.05 and $0.01 per diluted share for the years ended February 28, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. No tax benefit was recorded in Fiscal 2011 due to the Company’s loss position.

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

v)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 authoritative guidance under ASC 820 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, and did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. The remaining disclosure requirements of this pronouncement will be effective for the Company's first quarter in Fiscal 2012. The adoption of the remaining disclosure requirements will 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.

In January 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance included in ASC 805 “Business Combinations” which modifies certain pro-forma disclosures related to business combinations. The adoption of the disclosure requirement did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

4)	Equity Investment

The Company has a 50% non-controlling ownership interest in Audiovox Specialized Applications, Inc. (“ASA”) which acts as a distributor to markets for specialized vehicles, such as RV’s, van conversions and marine vehicles, of televisions and other automotive sound, security and accessory products. ASC 810 requires the Company to evaluate non-consolidated entities periodically and as circumstances change to determine if an implied controlling interest exists. During Fiscal 2011, the Company evaluated this equity investment and concluded that this is still a variable interest entity and the Company is not the primary beneficiary. ASA’s fiscal year end is November 30, 2010, however, the proportionate results of ASA as of and until February 28, 2011 have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

The following presents unaudited summary financial information for ASA. Such summary financial information has been provided herein based upon the individual significance of this unconsolidated equity investment to the consolidated financial information of the Company.

costs relating to LIBOR Rate Loans. The commitments under the Credit Facility may be irrevocably reduced at any time without premium or penalty.

The Credit Agreement contains covenants that limit the ability of certain entities of the Company to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness: (ii) incur liens; (iii) merge, consolidate or exit a substantial portion of their business; (iv) transfer or dispose of assets; (v) change their names, organizational identification number, state or province of organization or organizational identity; (vi) make any material change in their nature of business; (vii) prepay or otherwise acquire indebtedness; (viii) cause any Change of Control; (ix) make any Restricted Junior Payment; (x) change their fiscal year or method of accounting; (xi) make advances, loans or investments; (xii) enter into or permit any transactions with an Affiliate of certain entities of the Company; (xiii) use proceeds for certain items; (xiv) issue or sell any of their stock; and/or (xv) consign or sell any of their inventory on certain terms.

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 the factoring agreement is accounted for as a sale of accounts receivable. The rate of interest is the three month Euribor plus 1.9%, and the Company pays 0.22% of its gross sales as a fee for the accounts receivable factoring arrangement. As of February 28, 2011, the amount of accounts receivable 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. There were no amounts outstanding as of February 28, 2011.

c)Euro Term Loan Agreement

On March 30, 2008, Audiovox Germany entered into a new 5 million Euro term loan agreement. This agreement is for a five-year term with a financial institution and was used to repay the Audiovox Germany intercompany debt to Audiovox Corporation. Payments under the term loan are to be made in two semi-annual installments of 500 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 and long term debt payable to various third parties, which was repaid in March 2011.

f)Other Debt

On August 29, 2003, the Company entered into a call/put option agreement with certain employees of Audiovox Germany, whereby these employees can acquire up to a maximum of 20% of the Company's stated share capital in Audiovox Germany at a call price equal to the same proportion of the actual price paid by the Company for Audiovox Germany. The put options cannot be exercised until the later of (i) November 30, 2008 or (ii) the full repayment (including interest) of an inter-company loan granted to Audiovox Germany in the amount of 5.3 million Euros. Notwithstanding the lapse of these time periods, the put options become immediately exercisable upon (i) the sale of Audiovox Germany or (ii) the termination of employment or death of the employee. The put price to be paid to the employee upon exercise will be the then net asset value per share of Audiovox Germany. Accordingly, the Company recognizes compensation expense based on 20% of the increase in Audiovox Germany's net assets, subject to certain adjustments as defined in the agreement, representing the incremental change of the put price over the call option price. Compensation (benefit) expense for these options amounted to $727, $1,679 and $642 for the years ended February 28, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

In connection with its Invision acquisition, the Company settled an assumed liability with a payment upon closing and an interest free notes payable to the vendor. The balance at February 28, 2011 is approximately $1,100 and will be fully paid by the end of Fiscal 2012.

The following is a maturity table for debt and bank obligations outstanding at February 28, 2011:

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



	February 28, 2011			February 28, 2010
Deferred tax assets:
Accounts receivable	$	905		$	1,059
Inventory	2,373			1,149
Property, plant and equipment	1,133			959
Intangible assets	3,734			4,651
Accruals and reserves	5,258			5,217
Unrealized gains and losses	2,860			4,014
Net operating losses	3,392			4,856
Tax credits	3,376			3,313
Deferred tax assets before valuation allowance	23,031			25,218
Less: valuation allowance	(7,044		)	(24,349		)
Total deferred tax assets	15,987			869
Deferred tax liabilities:
Intangible assets	(10,732		)	(9,479		)
Prepaid expenses	(1,213		)	(1,261		)
Unremitted foreign earnings	(348		)	—
Total deferred tax liabilities	(12,293		)	(10,740		)
Net deferred tax asset (liability)	$	3,694		$	(9,871	)

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, Management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in those periods in which temporary differences become deductible and /or net operating loss carryforwards can be utilized. We consider the level of historical taxable income, scheduled reversal of temporary differences, tax planning strategies and projected future taxable income in determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted. Based on these considerations, the Company believes that as of February 28, 2011 it will realize its deferred tax assets of $3,694, which is net of a valuation allowance of $7,044.

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

As of February 28, 2011, the Company had approximately $5.9 million of U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards, which are available to offset future taxable income. These carryforwards expire in the tax years between 2027 and 2030, if not utilized. In addition, the Company has approximately $3.3 of foreign tax credits that expire in 2012 through 2016 if not utilized. In addition, the Company has various state net operating loss carryforwards that expire in varying amounts through fiscal year 2030.

The Company has not provided for U.S. federal and foreign withholding taxes on its foreign subsidiaries undistributed earnings in Germany and Venezuela as of February 28, 2011, because such earnings are intended to be indefinitely reinvested overseas. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to investments in undistributed earnings is not practicable to determine at this time.

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



Balance at February 28, 2009	$	5,754
Additions based on tax positions taken in the current and prior years	334
Change in tax law	(1,166		)
Settlements	—
Lapse in statute of limitations	(2,297		)
Balance at February 28, 2010	$	2,625
Additions based on tax positions taken in the current and prior years	773
Change in tax law	—
Settlements	—
Lapse in statute of limitations	(63		)
Balance at February 28, 2011	$	3,335

At February 28, 2011, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $3,335, which includes $1,738 of excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation as prescribed by ASC718. A reasonable estimate of timing of these liabilities is not possible. As of February 28, 2011, Company had approximately $430 of accrued interest and penalties. The Company records both accrued interest and penalties related to income tax matters in the provision for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Included in the reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits additions based on tax positions taken in prior years for Fiscal 2010 and Fiscal 2011 are excess tax benefits for stock based compensation deductions which have not yet reduced the Company’s current taxes payable as prescribed by ASC 718. In addition, the Company believes that the uncertain tax positions will not materially change within the next twelve months.

The Company files its tax returns in the U.S. and certain state and foreign income tax jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. The earliest years’ tax returns filed by the Company that are still subject to examination by the tax authorities in the major jurisdictions are as follows:



Jurisdiction		Tax Year

U.S.		2007

			Shares Authorized		Shares Outstanding
Security	Par Value		February 28, 2011	February 28, 2010	February 28, 2011	February 28, 2010	Voting Rights per Share	Liquidation Rights
Preferred Stock	$	50.00	50,000	50,000	—	—	—	$50 per share
Series Preferred Stock	$	0.01	1,500,000	1,500,000	—	—	—
Class A Common Stock	$	0.01	60,000,000	60,000,000	20,813,005	20,622,905	One	Ratably with Class B
Class B Common Stock	$	0.01	10,000,000	10,000,000	2,260,954	2,260,954	Ten	Ratably with Class A

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

Stock held in treasury by the Company is accounted for using the cost method which treats stock held in treasury as a reduction to total stockholders' equity. The cost basis for subsequent sales of treasury shares is determined using an average cost method. As of February 28, 2011, 1,738,263 shares of the Company's Class A common stock are authorized to be repurchased in the open market. During the years ended February 28, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not purchase any shares.

Undistributed earnings from equity investments included in retained earnings amounted to $7,438 and $5,946 at February 28, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


9)	Other Stock and Retirement Plans

a)Restricted Stock Plan

The Company has restricted stock plans under which key employees and directors may be awarded restricted stock. Awards under the restricted stock plan may be performance-accelerated shares or performance-restricted shares. No performance accelerated shares or performance-restricted shares were granted or outstanding during the years ended February 28, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

As of February 28, 2011, 1,773,637 shares of the Company's Class A common stock are reserved for issuance under the Company's Restricted and Stock Option Plan.

b)Profit Sharing Plans/ 401(k) Plan

The Company has established two non-contributory employee profit sharing plans for the benefit of its eligible employees in the United States and Canada. The plans are administered by trustees appointed by the Company. No contributions were made during the years ended February 28, 2011, 2010 and 2009. Contributions required by law to be made for eligible employees in Canada were not material for all periods presented.

The Company also has a 401(k) plan for eligible employees. The Company matches a portion of the participant's contributions after three months of service under a predetermined formula based on the participant's contribution level. As of February 1, 2008, the Company has temporarily suspended all matching contributions to contain operating expenses until economic conditions improve. Shares of the Company's Common Stock are not an investment option in the Savings Plan and the Company does not use such shares to match participants' contributions.

c)Cash Bonus Profit Sharing Plan

Audiovox Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

February 28, 2011

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

During Fiscal 2009, the Board of Directors authorized a Cash Bonus Profit Sharing Plan that allows the Company to make profit sharing contributions for the benefit of eligible employees, for any fiscal year based on a pre-determined formula on the Company's pre-tax profits. The size of the contribution is dependent upon the performance of the Company. A participant’s share of the contribution is determined pursuant to the participant’s eligible wages for the fiscal year as a percentage of total eligible wages for all participants. The Company did not make a cash bonus profit sharing contribution for the year ended February 28, 2009 due to the Company’s pre-tax loss for the year. The Company elected to pay back previous temporary salary reductions to all employees below the level of vice president for Fiscal 2010, and all employees for Fiscal 2011, in lieu of contributions to the Profit Sharing Plan for those years.

d)Deferred Compensation Plan

Effective December 1, 1999, the Company adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) for a select group of management. The Plan is intended to provide certain executives with supplemental retirement benefits as well as to permit the deferral of more of their compensation than they are permitted to defer under the Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan. The Plan provides for a matching contribution equal to 25% of the employee deferrals up to $20. As of February 1, 2008, the Company has temporarily suspended all matching contributions to contain operating expenses until economic conditions improve. The Plan is not intended to be a qualified plan under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. All compensation deferred under the Plan is held by the Company in an investment trust which is considered an asset of the Company. The Company has the option of amending or terminating the Plan at any time.

The investments, which amounted to $3,804 and $3,158 at February 28, 2011 and 2010, respectively, have been classified as long-term marketable securities and are included in investment securities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and a corresponding liability is recorded with $250 recorded in accrued expenses and the balance in deferred compensation which is classified as a long-term liability. Unrealized gains and losses on the marketable securities and corresponding deferred compensation liability net to zero in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.


10)	Lease Obligations

During 1998, the Company entered into a 30-year capital lease for a building with its principal stockholder and current chairman, which was the headquarters of the discontinued Cellular operation. Payments on the capital lease were based upon the construction costs of the building and the then-current interest rates. The effective interest rate on the capital lease obligation is 8%. This lease was refinanced in December 2006, which resulted in a $161 reduction to the capital lease obligation and corresponding asset, and expires on November 30, 2026. On November 1, 2004, we entered into an agreement to sublease the building to Personal Communication Devices, LLC (Formerly UTStarcom) for monthly payments of $46 until November 1, 2009. The sublease lease agreement has been renewed and requires, for a term of three years, monthly payments 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 February 29, 2016 are $6,735.

At February 28, 2011, the Company was obligated under non-cancellable capital and operating leases for equipment and warehouse facilities for minimum annual rental payments as follows:

Rental expense for the above-mentioned operating lease agreements and other leases on a month-to-month basis approximated $2,741, $2,044 and $2,412 for the years ended February 28, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company leases certain facilities from its principal stockholder. At February 28, 2011, minimum annual rental payments on these related party leases, in addition to the capital lease payments, which are included in the above table, are as follows:



2012	$	735
2013	758
2014	781

11)	Financial Instruments

a)Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Commercial letters of credit are issued by the Company during the ordinary course of business through major domestic banks as requested by certain suppliers. The Company also issues standby letters of credit principally to secure certain bank obligations and insurance policies. The Company had $1 and $319 open commercial letters of credit at February 28, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Standby letters of credit amounted to $2,817 and $1,294 at February 28, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The terms of these letters of credit are all less than one year. No material loss is anticipated due to nonperformance by the counter parties to these agreements. The fair value of the standby letters of credit is estimated to be the same as the contract values based on the short-term nature of the fee arrangements with the issuing banks.

At February 28, 2011, the Company had unconditional purchase obligations for inventory commitments of $59,885. These obligations are not recorded in the consolidated financial statements until commitments are fulfilled and such obligations are subject to change based on negotiations with manufacturers.

b)Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade receivables. The Company's customers are located principally in the United States, Canada and Germany

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

and consist of, among others, distributors, mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs and independent retailers. The Company generally grants credit based upon analyses of customers' financial condition and previously established buying and payment patterns. For certain customers, the Company establishes collateral rights in accounts receivable and inventory and obtains personal guarantees from certain customers based upon management's credit evaluation.

At February 28, 2011, two customers accounted for approximately 36% of accounts receivable, while at February 28, 2010, these two customers accounted for 43% of accounts receivable. During the years ended February 28, 2011 and 2010 , two customers accounted for 22% and 28% of sales, respectively. During the year ended February 28, 2009, one customer accounted for 22% of net sales.

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

13)	Contingencies

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

During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2009, the Company became aware that certain personal consumer credit card information had been accessed by an intrusion by an unauthorized source. The Company has notified the various state and federal authorities in which the consumers reside and is offering a plan of credit monitoring and protection for the affected individuals. The Company is partially covered by insurance but anticipates amounts will be necessary to cover the cost of this issue. The Company has recorded certain costs associated with this issue as of February 28, 2009, based on information available at the time. During the years ended February 28, 2010 and 2011, no additional costs were recorded.

In October 2010, 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, and are currently compiling the information necessary to settle the matter.

15)Subsequent Events (unaudited)

Klipsch

On March 1, 2011, Soundtech LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Audiovox, acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Klipsch Group, Inc. and its worldwide subsidiaries (“Klipsch”) for a total purchase price of $167.6 million including a working capital adjustment which is subject to change, plus related transaction fees and expenses. Klipsch is a global provider of high-end speakers for audio, multi-media and home theater applications. The acquisition of Klipsch adds world-class brand names to Audiovox's offerings, increases its distribution network, both domestically and abroad, and provides the Company with entry into the high-end installation market at both the residential and commercial level. In addition to the Klipsch® brand, the Klipsch portfolio includes Jamo®, Mirage®, and Energy®.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into a $175 million credit agreement with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC to fund a portion of the acquisition and future working capital needs, as applicable. A portion of the acquisition and all related transaction costs were funded with approximately $78.5 million in cash on hand. At closing, approximately $89 million was borrowed under the Credit Agreement to fund the balance of the purchase price.

As the Klipsch acquisition occurred on March 1, 2011, the consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statement of

operations, and consolidated statement of cash flows presented within this annual report do not include the operations of Klipsch, or the fair market value of assets and liabilities acquired, except as outlined in this footnote below. The opening balances and financial results of Klipsch will be consolidated with Audiovox beginning with the Company's first quarter of Fiscal 2012.

The stock purchase agreement provides for a term in which to finalize the working capital adjustment which has not yet expired. The Company is currently performing a formal valuation of the acquisition including an analysis of purchase price adjustments, if any, and a review of the assets and liabilities acquired to determine appropriate fair values. Management has estimated the fair value of tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on preliminary estimates and assumptions. These preliminary estimates and assumptions could change during the purchase price measurement period as the Company finalizes the valuations of the net tangible and intangible assets.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition and the estimated amounts assigned to goodwill and intangible asset classifications:



	As of March 1, 2011
Current assets	$	63,174
Property, plant and equipment, net	5,900
Goodwill	61,403
Intangible assets	81,063
Other assets	3,032
Total assets acquired	214,572
Total liabilities assumed	33,382
Deferred tax liabilities	$	13,551
Net assets acquired	$	167,639

The preliminary amounts assigned to goodwill and intangible assets for the acquisition are as follows:



	March 1, 2011		Amortization Period (Years)
Goodwill (non-deductible)	$	61,403	N/A
Tradenames (non-deductible)	46,816		Indefinite
Customer relationships	33,000		15
Patents	1,247		13
	$	142,466

Acquisition related costs of $989 were expensed as incurred in the year ended February 28, 2011 and are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. Approximately $1,250 of costs were contingent upon the completion of the acquisition and were expensed on March 1, 2011.

Pro Forma Information

The following unaudited pro forma information illustrates the effect on Audiovox's net sales and net income for the twelve-months ended February 28, 2011 and February 28, 2010, assuming that the acquisition had taken place on March 1, 2009.



	Year Ended		Year Ended
	February 28, 2011		February 28, 2010

The above pro-forma results include certain adjustments for the periods presented to adjust the financial results and give consideration to the assumption that the acquisition occurred on the first day of Fiscal 2010. These adjustments include costs such as an estimate for amortization and depreciation associated with intangible and fixed assets acquired, additional financing costs as a result of the acquisition, and the elimination of expenses specific to the acquisition. These pro-forma results of operations have been estimated for comparative purposes only and may not reflect the actual results of operations that would have been achieved had the transaction occurred on the date presented or be indicative of results to be achieved in the future.
