Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

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

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of VOXX International Corporation and subsidiaries (“Voxx” or the “Company”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented. The results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any interim period. These consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012.

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

(2) Acquisitions

Hirschmann

On March 14, 2012 (the "Closing Date"), Voxx, through its wholly-owned subsidiary VOXX International (Germany) GmbH ("Voxx Germany"), purchased the stock of Car Communication Holding GmbH ("Hirschmann"), a recognized tier-1 supplier of communications and infotainment solutions, primarily to the automotive industry, pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement for €87,571 ($114,397 based upon the rate of exchange as of the close of business on the Closing Date) subject to an adjustment for working capital plus related transaction fees and expenses.

On the Closing Date, the Company, certain of its directly and indirectly wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, and Voxx Germany (collectively, the “Borrowers”) entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as Agent, and the other lenders party thereto. The Company borrowed $148 million under the Amended Facility on the Closing Date and used a portion of the proceeds from such borrowing to fund Voxx Germany's acquisition of Hirschmann. On the Closing Date, the Company also repaid and terminated its existing asset-based loan facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC.

In order to hedge the fluctuation in the exchange rate before closing, the Company entered into two forward contracts totaling $63,750, both due in March 2012. The forward contracts were not designated for hedging, and as such, were marked to market at February 29, 2012 and when they were settled in the first quarter of Fiscal 2013. A foreign currency gain of $1,581 was recorded in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2012 when the contracts were marked to market at year-end and a foreign currency loss of $2,670 was recorded during the three months ended May 31, 2012, when the contracts were settled, reflecting the loss on settlement.

As the Hirschmann acquisition occurred on March 14, 2012, the consolidated financial statements presented for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012 include the operations of Hirschmann beginning on the Closing Date.

The Company is currently in the process of performing a formal valuation 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 Closing Date, and the estimated amounts assigned to goodwill and intangible asset classifications:

Deferred taxes, net	5,521
Bank obligations	11,430
Capital lease obligations	911
Other long-term liabilities	7,616
Net tangible and intangible assets acquired	$	114,397

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



	March 14, 2012		Amortization Period (Years)
Goodwill (non-deductible)	$	70,974	N/A
Tradenames (non-deductible)	6,761		Indefinite
Customer relationships	9,376		10
Patents	6,296		10
	$	93,407

Acquisition related costs relating to this acquisition of $1,131, $56 and $1,707 were expensed as incurred during the latter half of the year ended February 29, 2012 and during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012, respectively, and are included in acquisition-related costs for these respective periods in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Hirschmann has an employer financed defined benefit pension plan, which covers eligible Hirschmann regular full-time employees. The plan provides for retirement and disability benefits for participating employees, and are only granted if the participating employee is at least 25 years of age and has subsequently completed ten years of service. The retirement age as it pertains to the defined pension plan is 65. Benefits available under the pension plan are generally determined by years of service and the levels of compensation during those years. In October 1994, the benefits under Hirschmann's defined benefit pension plan were closed to new participants, and as of the Closing Date, pension benefits continue to accrue only for previously existing plan members still employed by Hirschmann. Based on actuarial data provided as of the Closing Date, the Hirschmann defined benefit pension plan was under-funded by approximately $5,300, which is included in Other long-term liabilities in the March 14, 2012 opening balance sheet. The under-funded status of the plan at November 30, 2012 is $5,294 and is included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Pro Forma Information

The following unaudited pro forma information illustrates the effect on net sales and net income for the nine months ended November 30, 2012 and November 30, 2011, assuming that the acquisition had taken place on March 1, 2011.

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



	Nine Months Ended November 30,
	2012		2011
Net sales:
As reported	$	628,787	$	530,465
Pro forma	636,301		671,177
Net income:

Average shares - basic	23,377,859		23,073,983
Average shares - diluted	23,593,040		23,203,504

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 2012. These adjustments include costs such as an estimate for amortization associated with intangible assets acquired, additional interest and financing costs as a result of the acquisition, and the movement of expenses specific to the acquisition from Fiscal 2013 to Fiscal 2012. 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.

(3) Net Income Per Common Share

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

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



	Three Months Ended November 30,		Nine Months Ended November 30,
	2012	2011	2012	2011
Weighted-average common shares outstanding	23,434,965	23,074,030	23,377,859	23,073,983
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock options, warrants and restricted stock	101,175	—	215,181	129,521
Weighted-average common shares and potential common shares outstanding	23,536,140	23,074,030	23,593,040	23,203,504

Stock options and warrants totaling 268,650 and 1,142,500 for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and 89,550 and 481,952 for the nine months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were not included in the net income per diluted share calculation because the exercise price of these options and warrants was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during these periods or their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

(4) Fair Value Measurements and Derivatives

The Company applies the 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 November 30, 2012:



			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
			Level 1		Level 2
Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash and money market funds	$	18,193	$	18,193	$	—

Total long-term investment securities	$	13,102		$	3,450	$	—


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

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, and (iii) the stated or implicit interest rate approximates the current market rates or are not materially different than market rates.

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 for the same or similar instruments (Level 2). Forward foreign currency contracts not designated under hedged transactions were valued at spot rates for the same or similar instruments (Level 2). The duration of open forward foreign currency contracts range from 1 - 14 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 recognized as incurred through other income (expense) in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and amounted to $(101) and $51 for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012, respectively, and $77 and $(4) for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2011, respectively.

Financial Statement Classification

The Company holds derivative instruments that are designated as hedging instruments and has held certain instruments not so designated. The following table discloses the fair value as of November 30, 2012 and February 29, 2012 for both types of derivative instruments:

VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries

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



	Derivative Assets and Liabilities
		Fair Value
	Account	November 30, 2012			February 29, 2012
Designated derivative instruments
Foreign currency contracts	Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	$	(84	)	$	(103	)
	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	146			—

Derivatives not designated
Foreign currency contracts	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	56			1,581

Total derivatives		$	118		$	1,478

In March 2012, the Company settled two foreign currency contracts for derivatives not designated in a hedged transaction. In connection with the acquisition of Hirschmann on March 14, 2012, the Company acquired 36 foreign currency contracts which were unable to qualify for hedge accounting for the quarters ended May 31, August 31 and November 30, 2012. There were 9 contracts of this nature outstanding at November 30, 2012, with a current notional value of approximately $2,000. 9 and 27 of these contracts settled during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012, respectively, for gains of $22 and $82, respectively. The change in fair value of the open contracts not designated for hedge accounting for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012 was a gain of $21 and $76, respectively. There were no current contracts of this nature outstanding at November 30, 2011.

Cash flow hedges

During the third quarter of Fiscal 2013, the Company entered into forward foreign currency contracts, which have a current outstanding notional value of $26,500 and are 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 three and nine months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:



	For the three months ended									For the nine months ended
	November 30, 2012									November 30, 2012

The net loss recognized in other comprehensive income for foreign currency contracts is expected to be recognized in cost of sales within the next seventeen months. No amounts were excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness during the respective periods. As of November 30, 2012, no contracts originally designated for hedge accounting were de-designated or terminated.

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. 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”).

VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries

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

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

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. During Fiscal 2010, Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2012, the Company monitored the performance of its Bliss-tel investment and determined that its investment in the company was other than temporarily impaired based on factors, such as its market price (which has consistently remained below cost in excess of twelve months), Bliss-tel's continued losses, its deteriorating financial position, and conditions in the local and global economy, as well as the political environment in Thailand. During Fiscal 2010 and Fiscal 2011, the Company recorded other than temporary impairment losses of $1,000 and $1,600, respectively. During Fiscal 2012, Bliss-tel stopped trading on the Thai stock exchange and has remained suspended from trading through November 30, 2012. As a result of this suspension, and the continued presence of the factors discussed above, management estimated the value of the investment to be $0 at February 29, 2012 and recorded total impairment charges of $1,225 for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012. As of November 30, 2012, the Company owns 36,250,000 shares in Bliss-tel. 22,500,000 warrants expired unexercised in July 2012. As all of the above factors remain present and the company remains suspended from trading, management's estimate of the value of this investment remains $0 at November 30, 2012.

Held-to-Maturity Investment

Long-term investments include an investment in U.S. dollar-denominated bonds issued by the Venezuelan government, which is classified as held-to-maturity and accounted for under the amortized cost method.

Other Long-Term Investments

Other long-term investments include an investment in a non-controlled corporation of $2,366 accounted for by the cost method. During the nine months ended November 30, 2012, Voxx loaned an additional $250 in the company and as of November 30, 2012, the Company held approximately 16% of the outstanding shares of this company.

(6) Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

(8) Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has various stock-based compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 1 of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012.

The Company granted 246,250 options during May of 2011, which vested on February 29, 2012, expire two years from date of vesting (February 28, 2014), have an exercise price equal to $7.75, $0.25 above the sales price of the Company’s stock on the day prior to the date of grant, have a contractual term of 2.75 years and a grant date fair value of $3.08 per share determined based upon a Black-Scholes valuation model.

In addition, the Company issued 22,500 warrants during May of 2011 to purchase the Company’s common stock with the same terms as those of the options above as consideration for future legal and professional services. These warrants are included in the outstanding options and warrant table below and considered exercisable at November 30, 2012.

As of November 30, 2012, all outstanding options were fully vested and the Company had no unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options.

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



	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life
Outstanding and exercisable at February 29, 2012	1,070,625	$	6.72
Granted	—	—
Exercised	365,177	6.37
Forfeited/expired	26,250	6.37
Outstanding and exercisable at November 30, 2012	679,198	$	6.92	0.80

In May of 2011, the Company granted 100,000 shares of restricted stock. A restricted stock award is an award of common stock that is subject to certain restrictions during a specified period. Restricted stock awards are independent of option grants and are subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the release of the restrictions. Shares under the above grant will not be issued to the grantee before they vest. The grantee cannot transfer the rights to receive shares before the restricted shares vest. One-third of the restricted stock awards vested on February 29, 2012, one-third will vest on February 28, 2013 and one-third will vest on February 28, 2014. The Company expenses the cost of the restricted stock awards on a straight-line basis over the period during which the restrictions lapse. For these purposes, the fair market value of the restricted stock, $7.60, was determined based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date.

The following table presents a summary of the Company's restricted stock activity for the nine months ended November 30, 2012:

During the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012, the Company recorded $63 and $190, respectively, in stock-based compensation related to restricted stock awards. As of November 30, 2012, there was $317 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock awards. This expense is expected to be fully recognized by February 28, 2014.

(9) Research and Development

Expenditures for research and development are charged to expense as incurred. Such expenditures amount to $3,894 and $157 for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively and $12,821 and $253 for the nine months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and are included within engineering and technical support expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets
Trademarks					129,765
Total net intangible assets					$	175,349

The Company recorded amortization expense of $1,331 and $1,018 for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $4,099 and $3,059 for the nine months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The estimated aggregate amortization expense for the cumulative five years ending August 31, 2017 amounts to $26,607.

We evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of long-lived assets is considered impaired when the estimated undiscounted cash flows from such assets are less than their carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Fair value is determined by primarily using a discounted cash flow methodology that requires considerable management judgment and long-term assumptions. There were no impairment triggering events during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012, therefore, management believes the current carrying value of its intangible assets is not impaired. Our estimate of net future cash flows is based on historical experience and assumptions of future trends, which may be different from actual results. We periodically review the appropriateness of the estimated useful lives of our long-lived assets.

(11) Equity Investments

As of November 30, 2012 and February 29, 2012, the Company had a 50% non-controlling ownership interest in ASA Electronics, LLC (“ASA”) which acts as a distributor of televisions and other automotive sound, security and accessory products for specialized vehicles, such as RV’s and van conversions.

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

The Company's share of income from ASA was $1,180 and $1,236 for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively and $3,730 and $3,255 for the nine months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

(12) Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes consists of U.S. and foreign taxes in amounts necessary to align the Company’s year-to-date provision for income taxes with the effective tax rate that the Company expects to achieve for the full year. The Company’s annual effective tax rate for Fiscal 2013 excluding discrete items is estimated to be 38.68% (which includes U.S., state and local and foreign taxes) based upon the Company’s anticipated earnings both in the U.S. and in its foreign subsidiaries.

For the three months ended November 30, 2012 the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $6,258, which consisted of U.S., state and local and foreign taxes, including discrete items related to the accrual of interest for uncertain tax positions under ASC 740 and a change in the tax rates. For the three months ended November 30, 2011, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $6,136 which consisted of tax benefits related to discrete items including recently enacted state tax legislation impacting the recognition of certain tax positions under ASC 740 and the tax effects of certain foreign tax matters, offset by a tax provision related to U.S., state and local and foreign taxes.

In connection with the Hirschmann business combination, the Company recorded a net credit to deferred taxes of approximately $6,700 related to the basis difference between the financial reporting value and the tax value of Hirschmann's assets and liabilities.

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012 was a provision for income taxes of 32.2% and 32.0% compared to a provision for income taxes of 40.9% in both of the comparable prior periods. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended November 30, 2012 is different than the statutory rate primarily due to state and local taxes, differences between the U.S. and foreign tax rates, Section 199 deductions and transaction costs associated with Hirschmann.

(13) Inventory

Inventories by major category are as follows:



	November 30, 2012		February 29, 2012
Raw materials	$	34,784	$	18,495

(a) Domestic Bank Obligations

From March 1, 2012 through March 13, 2012, we had a revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). Funds from the Credit Facility were used to complete the acquisition of Klipsch in March 2011, as well as to fund the temporary short-term working capital needs of the Company. The Credit Facility had an aggregated committed availability of up to $175 million, which could be increased at the option of the Company up to a maximum of $200 million. The Credit Facility included a $25 million sublimit for issuances of letters of credit and a $20 million sublimit for Swing Loans.

VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

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

The Credit Agreement contained covenants that limited 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.

As a result of the addition of the Credit Facility, the Company incurred debt financing costs of approximately $3.3 million which are recorded as deferred financing costs and are included in other assets and amortized through interest and bank charges over the term of the Credit Facility.

On March 14, 2012, the Company amended and restated its $175 million Credit Facility (the "Amended Facility"). The Amended Facility provides for senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $205 million, consisting of a U.S. revolving credit facility of $80 million; a $50 million multicurrency revolving facility, of which up to the equivalent of $50 million is available only to VOXX International (Germany) GmbH in euros and the euro equivalent of $15 million available to domestic borrowers; and a five year term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $75 million. The Amended Facility includes a $25 million sublimit for issuers of letters of credit for domestic borrowings and a $10 million sublimit for Swing Loans.

$60 million of the U. S. revolving credit facility is available on a revolving basis for five years from the closing date. An additional $20 million is available during the periods from September 1, 2012 through January 31, 2013 and from September 1, 2013 through November 30, 2013.

Generally, the Company may designate specific borrowings under the Amended Facility as either Alternate Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, except that Swing Loans may only be designated as Alternate Base Rate Loans. VOXX International (Germany) GmbH may only borrow euros, and only as LIBOR 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 1.25 - 2.25% based on excess availability in the borrowing base. Loans designated as Alternate Base Rate loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25 - 1.25% based on excess availability in the borrowing base. As of November 30, 2012, the interest rate on the facility was 2.61%.

The $75 million five year term loan facility is payable in twenty quarterly installments of principal commencing May 31, 2012, each in the amount of $3,750. All other amounts outstanding under the Amended Facility will mature and become due on March 13, 2017. 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 Amended Facility may be irrevocably reduced at any time without premium or penalty.

The Amended Facility requires compliance with financial covenants calculated as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, consisting of a Total Leverage Ratio and a Consolidated EBIT to Consolidated Interest Expense Ratio.

The Amended Facility 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 respective businesses; (iv) make any material change in the nature of their business; (v) prepay or otherwise acquire indebtedness; (vi) cause any Change of Control; (vii) make any Restricted Payments; (viii) change their fiscal year or method of accounting; (ix) make advances, loans or investments; (x) enter into or permit any transaction with an Affiliate of certain entities of the Company; or (xi) use proceeds for certain items (including capital expenditures). As of November 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

The Amended Facility contains customary events of default, including, without limitation: failure to pay principal thereunder when due; failure to pay any interest or other amounts thereunder for a period of three (3) business days after becoming due; failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants contained in the Amended Facility; failure to satisfy certain judgments against a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Immaterial

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

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

Subsidiaries); certain insolvency and bankruptcy events; and failure to pay when due certain other indebtedness in an amount in excess of $5 million.

The Obligations under the Amended Facility are secured by a general lien on and security interest in the assets of certain entities of the Company, including accounts receivable, equipment, substantially all of the real estate, general intangibles and inventory provided that the assets of Hirschmann Car Communication GmbH and the foreign guarantors will only secure the Foreign Obligations. All Guarantors other than subsidiaries of Hirschmann Car Communication GmbH have jointly and severally guaranteed (or will jointly and severally guarantee) the obligations of any and all Credit Party Obligations, and each Foreign Guarantor will jointly and severally guarantee the obligations of Hirschmann Car Communications GmbH under the Credit Agreement (i.e., the Foreign Obligations).

On March 14, 2012, the Company borrowed approximately $148 million under this amended credit facility as a result of its stock purchase agreement related to Hirschmann. As of November 30, 2012, approximately $181 million was outstanding under the line.

As a result of the amendment to the Credit Facility, the Company incurred additional debt financing costs of approximately $3.4 million which are recorded as deferred financing costs. The Company has accounted for the amendment as a modification of debt and has added these costs to the remaining financing costs related to the original Credit Facility. These deferred financing costs have been included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and are being amortized through interest and bank charges over the five year term of the Amended Facility. During the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012, the Company amortized $302 and $907 of these costs, respectively, compared to $170 and $510 during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2011, respectively.

(b) Euro Asset-Based Lending Obligation

Foreign bank obligations include a financing arrangement entered into in October 2000, totaling €16,000 and consisting of a Euro accounts receivable factoring arrangement and a Euro Asset-Based Lending ("ABL") (up to 60% of eligible non-factored accounts receivable) credit facility for the Company's subsidiary, Audiovox Germany, which expires on November 1, 2013. 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% (2.09% at November 30, 2012), and the Company pays 0.22% of its gross sales as a fee for the accounts receivable factoring arrangement. As of November 30, 2012, the amount of accounts receivable available for factoring exceeded the amounts outstanding under this obligation.

On March 30, 2008, Audiovox Germany entered into a new €5,000 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 VOXX International Corporation. Payments under the term loan are to be made in two semi-annual installments of €500 beginning on September 30, 2008 and ending on March 30, 2013. Interest accrues at a fixed rate of 4.82%. Any amount repaid cannot 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 VOXX International Corporation.

(d) Other Debt

This amount includes an assumed liability in connection with the Company's Invision acquisition, which was repaid in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2012, as well as a note payable on a facility acquired in connection with the Company's Klipsch acquisition and a mortgage note on a building purchased by the Company's Schwaiger subsidiary. Additionally, on April 20, 2012, the Company purchased the building housing Klipsch's headquarters in Indianapolis, IN for $10.9 million. The Company paid $3.1 million cash at closing, plus $106 in closing costs, and assumed the mortgage held by the seller, Woodview LLC, in the amount of $7.8 million. The mortgage is

due in June 2013 and bears interest at 5.85%. Woodview LLC is a related party, as certain partners are executives of Klipsch.

On July 15, 2012, Hirschmann entered into an agreement for a €6,000 working capital line of credit with a financial institution. The agreement is payable on demand and is mutually cancelable. The rate of interest is the three month Euribor plus 2% (2.19% at November 30, 2012) and the line of credit is guaranteed by VOXX International Corporation. There was no outstanding balance on the line of credit at November 30, 2012.

(18) Foreign Currency

The Company has certain operations in Venezuela. Venezuela has 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.

Effective January 1, 2010, according to the guidelines in ASC 830, "Foreign Currency," 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 continues to account for operation in Venezuela under this method.

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 per month. As a result of this restriction, we have limited new U.S. dollar purchases to remain within the guidelines imposed by SITME.

(21) Contingencies

Contingencies

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

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.

The Company has been party to a breach of license agreement lawsuit brought against it by MPEG LA, LLC ("MPEG"). During the third quarter of Fiscal 2012, the Company's claim for summary judgment was denied and the case was tried in the New York Supreme Court, Suffolk County. In December 2011, the Company received advisory judgment in the case, concluding that the Company owed MPEG penalties related to license agreement obligations arising from the manufacture and sale of its products. The Company recorded a charge of approximately $3.6 million in Fiscal 2012 and, based on the advisory jury's verdict, remitted payment of $2.6 million to MPEG in December 2011 in order to resolve this matter. On May 29, 2012, the Company received notice that the advisory judgment was overturned by the presiding Judge in the case. The Judge's ruling gave the Company and MPEG the option to (a) reach an agreement on the balance still owed; (b) allow the Judge to determine the balance; or (c) proceed to another trial and have a new jury determine the balance owed. On June 29, 2012, the Company reached a settlement agreement with MPEG and agreed to pay an additional $10.5 million in final resolution of the matter. The payment is in addition to the funds paid in December 2011, bringing the total settlement to $13.1 million. As a result of this settlement, the Company recorded a charge of $9.5 million during the first quarter of Fiscal 2013. The charge has been recorded in "Other (Expense) Income" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The Company continues seeking indemnification from its suppliers for royalty payments previously paid to them that it maintains they were responsible to remit to MPEG and plans to vigorously pursue its option under its indemnification agreements. The Company completed negotiations with one vendor for an amount of $1.1 million, which was recorded as an offset to the settlement expense as a recovery in "Other (Expense)Income" on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income, for a net charge of $8.4 million during the first quarter of Fiscal 2013. At this time, we cannot determine the success of any additional efforts, nor quantify a range of amounts. Management will continue to evaluate the developments associated with the negotiations with its suppliers.

(22) New Accounting Pronouncements

VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

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

In January 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance in ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" that improves disclosures around fair value measurements. This pronouncement requires additional disclosures regarding transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy of this pronouncement as well as a more detailed reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements. Certain disclosure requirements of this pronouncement were effective and adopted by the Company on March 1, 2010. The remaining disclosure requirements of this pronouncement were effective for the Company’s first quarter in Fiscal 2012. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. In May 2011, ASC 820 was further amended to clarify certain disclosure requirements and improve consistency with international financial reporting standards. This amendment is to be applied prospectively and was effective for the Company's first quarter of Fiscal 2013. The adoption has not had a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance included in ASC 220 "Comprehensive Income" related to the presentation of comprehensive income. Specifically, the new guidance allows an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. While the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. The adoption of this disclosure-only guidance did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial results and has been adopted by the Company beginning in the first quarter of Fiscal 2013.

In September 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance in ASC 350 "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other" intended to simplify goodwill impairment testing. Entities will be allowed to perform a qualitative assessment on goodwill impairment to determine whether it is more likely than not (defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. This guidance is effective for goodwill impairment tests performed in interim and annual periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, or the Company's first quarter of Fiscal 2013. The Company has adopted this guidance as of March 1, 2012 and does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements.

(23) Subsequent Events

Klipsch Settlement

During Fiscal 2012, Klipsch filed suit against twenty-three third parties for producing and reselling counterfeit Klipsch brand headphone products. Klipsch settled with one of the defendants in March 2012 for $800 and received payment during the first quarter of Fiscal 2013 and is recorded within Other, net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. This lawsuit is completed. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2013, Klipsch filed a second lawsuit against 16 additional companies for selling counterfeit Klipsch headphones. Klipsch reached settlements with two of the defendants in October 2012 and two other defendants in December 2012 for a total of $215 and $135, respectively. Payment of the $215 was received during the third quarter of Fiscal 2013 and is recorded within Other, net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The remaining $135 was received in January 2013. The proceedings against the remaining twelve defendants continues.

Grant of Options and Warrants

In December of 2012, the Company granted 256,250 options and 17,500 warrants, which vest on July 2, 2013, expire 2 years from date of vesting and have an exercise price of $6.79, $0.25 above the sales price of the Company's stock on the day before the date of grant.

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

Forward-Looking Statements

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

We begin Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) with an overview of the business. This is followed by a discussion of the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments incorporated in our reported financial results. In the next section, we discuss our results of operations for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012 compared to the three and nine months ended November 30, 2011. Next, we present adjusted EBITDA and diluted adjusted EBITDA per common share for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012 compared to the three and nine months ended November 30, 2011 in order to provide a useful and appropriate supplemental measure of our performance. We then provide an analysis of changes in our balance sheets and cash flows, and discuss our financial commitments in the sections entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources.” We conclude this MD&A with a discussion of “Related Party Transactions” and “Recent Accounting Pronouncements.”

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

Business Overview

Effective December 1, 2011, Audiovox Corporation changed its name to VOXX International Corporation ("Voxx," "We," "Our," "Us" or the "Company"). The Company believes that the name VOXX International would be a name that better represents the widely diversified interests of the Company, and the more than 30 global brands it has acquired and grown throughout the years, achieving a powerful international corporate image and creating a vehicle for each of these respective brands to emerge with its own identity. Voxx is a leading international distributor in the accessory, mobile and consumer electronics industries. On March 14, 2012, the Company acquired Car Communication Holding GmbH and its worldwide subsidiaries, a recognized tier-1 supplier of communications and infotainment solutions, primarily to the automotive industry. We conduct our business through nineteen wholly-owned subsidiaries: American Radio Corp., Audiovox Electronics Corporation (“AEC”), VOXX Accessories Corp., 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”), Klipsch Holding LLC ("Klipsch"), Car Communication Holding GmbH ("Hirschmann"), 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®, Car Link®, Code-Alarm®, Energy®, Excalibur®, Heco®, Hirschmann Car Communication®, Incaar^™, Invision®, Jamo®, Jensen®, Klipsch®, Mac Audio^™, Magnat®, Mirage®, Oehlbach®, Prestige®, RCA®, Schwaiger®, and Terk®, as well as private labels through a large domestic and international distribution network. We also function as an OEM ("Original Equipment Manufacturer") supplier to several customers and presently have one reportable segment (the "Electronics Group"), which is organized by product category.

The Company 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, amplifiers and CD changers,


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


▪	automotive security and remote start systems,


▪	automotive power accessories,


▪	automotive antenna systems,


▪	automotive digital TV tuner systems,


▪	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,


▪	premium loudspeakers,


▪	architectural speakers,


▪	commercial speakers,


▪	on-ear and in-ear headphones,


▪	soundbars, and


▪	portable DVD players.

Accessories products include:


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


▪	Wireless Fidelity (“WiFi”) antennas,


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


▪	home electronic accessories such as cabling,


▪	other connectivity products,


▪	power cords,


▪	performance enhancing electronics,


▪	TV universal remotes,


▪	flat panel TV mounting systems,


▪	iPod specialized products,


▪	wireless headphones,


▪	wireless speakers,


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


▪	power supply systems,


▪	electronic equipment cleaning products,


▪	personal sound amplifiers, 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.

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

Reportable Segments

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

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in those financial statements. These judgments can be subjective and complex, and consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates. Our most critical accounting policies and estimates relate to revenue recognition; sales incentives; accounts receivable reserves; inventory reserves; goodwill and other intangible assets; warranties; stock-based compensation; income taxes; and the fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities. A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is identified in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operations in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012. Since February 29, 2012, there have been no changes in our critical accounting policies or changes to the assumptions and estimates related to them.

The Company evaluates its indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment triggering events at each reporting period in accordance with ASC 350. Based on our evaluation, there were no triggering events and no impairment of indefinite lived intangible assets in the quarter ended November 30, 2012. Due to the continued economic volatility, including fluctuations in interest rates, growth rates and changes in demand for our products, there could be a change in the valuation of indefinite lived intangible assets when the Company conducts its annual impairment test.

Results of Operations

As you read this discussion and analysis, refer to the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, which present the results of our operations for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011.

The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, certain statements of operations data for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011.

Net Sales



	November 30,
	2012		2011		$ Change		% Change
Three Months Ended:
Electronics	$	201,477	$	165,947	$	35,530	21.4	%
Accessories	41,559		40,856		703		1.7
Total consolidated net sales	$	243,036	$	206,803	$	36,233	17.5	%
Nine Months Ended:
Electronics	$	510,581	$	424,957	$	85,624	20.1	%
Accessories	118,206		105,508		12,698		12.0
Total consolidated net sales	$	628,787	$	530,465	$	98,322	18.5	%

Electronic sales represented 82.9% and 81.2% of the net sales for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012, respectively, compared to 80.2% and 80.1% in the respective prior year periods. For the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012, approximately $39,465 and $115,658, respectively of the increase in sales from this product group was the result of our recent acquisition of Hirschmann. In addition, the electronics group experienced increases in its OEM manufacturing lines in the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012 due to the launch of new programs with Ford and Nissan in the second quarter of Fiscal 2013, increased sales of on-ear and in-ear headphones and soundbars, as well as new product offerings, such as the Tagg™ GPS pet tracker. OEM increases were partially offset during the nine months ended November 30, 2012 by decreases due to remote start sales, which were affected early in the fiscal year by a warmer winter, as well as by the conclusion of Ford's production program for headrest DVD systems in the first quarter of Fiscal 2013. Electronic sales increases were also offset during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012 by a decline in sales of consumer electronics products including camcorders and digital players as a result of declines in demand and the exiting of certain products; a decline in satellite fulfillment sales; slower car speaker sales in Europe; and a decline in our audio product line. The audio decline is partially offset by sales related to new product introductions, such as sales of slot machine speakers and mobile iPod and iPad interfaces.

Accessory sales represented 17.1% and 18.8% of our net sales for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012, respectively, compared to 19.8% and 19.9% in the respective prior year periods. The increase in the accessories group was primarily related to sales of new wireless speaker products, increased sales of antennas as a result of the Summer Olympics as well as changes in consumer demand and increased sales of portable power lines and power supply systems due to the growing predominance of electronic devices in consumer homes. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in sales in our international markets due primarily to the effect of European market conditions during the fiscal year, which continued to slow down.

During the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012, the release of unearned or unclaimed sales incentives was not material. We believe the reversal of earned but unclaimed or unearned sales incentives upon expiration of the claim period is a disciplined, rational, consistent, and systematic method of reversing these claims. These sales incentive programs are expected to continue and will either increase or decrease based upon competition and customer demands.

Gross Profit



	November 30,
	2012			2011			$ Change		% Change
Three Months Ended:
Gross profit	$	69,949		$	59,843		$	10,106	16.9	%
Gross margin percentage	28.8		%	28.9		%
Nine Months Ended:
Gross profit	$	175,131		$	147,393		$	27,738	18.8	%
Gross margin percentage	27.9		%	27.8		%

Gross margins for the three months ended November 30, 2012 decreased by 10 basis points primarily as a result of unfavorable swings between hedged costs and related sales, as well as decreased sales of higher margin car speakers at Audiovox Germany, offset by sales as a result of the Hirschmann acquisition, and the exiting of certain lower margin products and promotion of higher margin products within consumer accessories, such as wireless bluetooth speakers and on-ear and in-ear headphones and soundbars. Gross margins for the nine months ended November 30, 2012 increased by 10 basis points primarily due to increased sales in OEM related products, increased sales in higher margin consumer products, such as bluetooth speakers and on-ear and in-ear headphones and soundbars, as well as sales as a result of the Hirschmann acquisition. These increases were partially offset by the unfavorable swings between hedged costs and related sales, as well as increased freight costs, decreases in sales of higher margin car speakers at Audiovox Germany and the cost of shifting warehouse facilities in Asia.

Operating income (loss)	$	29,689	$	30,065	$	(376	)	(1.3	)%

Operating expenses increased $8,753 and $28,114 for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012, respectively, from $41,406 and $117,328 in the comparable prior year periods. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses increased to 20.6% and 23.1% as compared to 20.0% and 22.1% for the comparable prior year period. The increase in total operating expenses was due primarily to our recent acquisition of Hirschmann which accounted for $10,872 and $32,106 during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012, respectively, as well as increases in advertising expense Company-wide of approximately $200 and $900 for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012, respectively, not including Hirschmann.

the acquisition of Hirschmann, the increases in operating expenses were partially offset by reductions in depreciation expense, headcount reductions in select groups, reductions of commissions as a result of lower net sales, reduced occupancy costs due to the purchase of the Klipsch headquarters in Indianapolis, IN, which had previously been leased, as well as lower professional fees, as a result of the conclusion of the MPEG lawsuit in June 2012.

Interest and bank charges represent expenses for bank obligations of VOXX International Corporation and Audiovox Germany, interest for capital leases and amortization of the debt discount on our credit facility. The increase in these expenses for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012 is primarily due to interest expense, fees and amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Amended Credit Facility entered into on March 14, 2012 primarily to fund our Hirschmann acquisition.

Other, net, during the three months ended November 30, 2012 primarily included net gains and losses due to foreign currency exchange and hedge accounting, and income of approximately $200 related to a favorable legal settlement received by Klipsch, as compared to the three months ended November 30, 2011, which included a charge in connection to a patent lawsuit of approximately $2,600, as well as a contingent consideration adjustment of approximately $500.

Other, net, during the nine months ended November 30, 2012 included charges in connection with a patent suit of approximately $8,400, and losses on forward exchange contracts of approximately $2,700 incurred in conjunction with the Hirschmann acquisition and settled during the first quarter of Fiscal 2013. These charges were partially offset by income recorded related to favorable legal settlements received by Klipsch of approximately $1,000 during the first and third quarters of Fiscal 2013. Other, net, for the nine months ended November 30, 2011 included an other than temporary impairment charge of approximately $1,200 relating to the Bliss-tel investment, as well as a charge of approximately $2,600 related to a patent lawsuit and a contingent consideration adjustment of approximately $1,500.

Net Income

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



	Three Months Ended November 30,				Nine Months Ended November 30,

Net income	$	13,202	$	8,858	$	12,222	$	14,783

Basic	$	0.56	$	0.38	$	0.52	$	0.64
Diluted	$	0.56	$	0.38	$	0.52	$	0.64

Net income for the three months ended November 30, 2012 increased versus the prior year period as a result of the addition of our Hirschmann acquisition, as well as due to charges related to a patent lawsuit that were incurred during the third quarter of Fiscal 2012. Net income for the nine months ended November 30, 2012 decreased versus the prior year period primarily as a result of additional expenses associated with the patent lawsuit incurred during the first quarter of Fiscal 2013, as well as losses on forward exchange contracts and a decrease in sales in the European markets, partially offset by decreased tax provisions, the addition of our Hirschmann acquisition and an increase in sales in domestic markets.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA and diluted adjusted EBITDA per common share are not financial measures recognized by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, before interest and bank charges, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, litigation settlements and costs and foreign exchange gains or losses relating to our acquisitions. Depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation expense are non-cash items. Diluted adjusted EBITDA per common share represents the Company's diluted earnings per common share based on adjusted EBITDA.

We present adjusted EBITDA and diluted adjusted EBITDA per common share in this Form 10-Q because we consider them to be useful and appropriate supplemental measures of our performance. Adjusted EBITDA and diluted adjusted EBITDA per common share help us to evaluate our performance without the effects of certain GAAP calculations that may not have a direct cash impact on our current operating performance. In addition, the exclusion of costs relating to our acquisitions, restructuring and litigation settlements allows for a more meaningful comparison of our results from period-to-period. These non-GAAP measures, as we define them, are not necessarily comparable to similarly entitled measures of other companies and may not be appropriate measures for performance relative to other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be assessed in isolation from or construed as a substitute for EBITDA prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and diluted adjusted EBITDA per common share are not intended to represent, and should not be considered to be more meaningful measures than, or alternatives to, measures of operating performance as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows, Commitments and Obligations

As of November 30, 2012, we had working capital of $215,739 which includes cash and short-term investments of $18,193, compared with working capital of $182,985 at February 29, 2012, which included cash and short-term investments of $13,606. The increase in cash is primarily due to draws on our amended credit facility (a portion of which was used to fund the Hirschmann acquisition) and an increase in accounts payable, partially offset by payments on the outstanding line, the purchase and renovation of the Klipsch headquarters, an increase in inventory and an increase in accounts receivable. We plan to utilize our current cash position as well as collections from accounts receivable, the cash generated from our operations and the income on our investments to fund the current operations of the business. However, we may utilize all or a portion of current capital resources to pursue other business opportunities, including acquisitions.

Operating activities used cash of $6,397 for the nine months ended November 30, 2012 principally due to increased accounts receivables and inventory, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable.


•	The Company experienced increased accounts receivable turnover of 4.5 during the nine months ended November 30, 2012 compared to 4.3 during the nine months ended November 30, 2011.


•	Inventory turnover increased to 3.2 during the nine months ended November 30, 2012 compared to 3.1 during the nine months ended November 30, 2011.

Investing activities used cash of $121,795 during the nine months ended November 30, 2012, primarily due to the Hirschmann acquisition, as well as the purchase and renovation of the Klipsch headquarters facility and the Company's system upgrade.

Financing activities provided cash of $134,733 during the nine months ended November 30, 2012, primarily from borrowings on bank obligations used to finance the Hirschmann acquisition, offset by repayments of those obligations.

On March 14, 2012, the Company amended and restated its revolving credit facility (the “Amended Facility”). The Amended Facility provides for senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $205 million, consisting of a U.S. revolving credit facility of $80 million; a $50 million multicurrency revolving facility, of which up to the equivalent of $50 million is available only to VOXX International (Germany) GmbH in euros and the euro equivalent of $15 million available to domestic borrowers; and a five year term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $75 million. The Amended Facility includes a $25 million sublimit for issuers of letters of credit for domestic borrowings and a $10 million sublimit for Swing Loans. $60 million of the U. S. revolving credit facility is available on a revolving basis for five years from the closing date. An additional $20 million is available during the three month periods from September 1, 2012 through November 30, 2012 and from September 1, 2013 through November 30, 2013. Generally, the Company may designate specific borrowings under the Amended Facility as either Alternate

Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, except that Swing Loans may only be designated as Alternate Base Rate Loans. VOXX International (Germany) GmbH may only borrow euros, and only as LIBOR 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 1.25 - 2.25% based on excess availability in the borrowing base. Loans designated as Alternate Base Rate loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25 - 1.25% based on excess availability in the borrowing base. On March 14, 2012, the Company borrowed approximately $148 million under this amended credit facility as a result of its stock purchase agreement related to Hirschmann and the repayment of the former facility. As of November 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants related to the Amended Facility. Further details regarding the facility are outlined in Note 15(a) of this report. At November 30, 2012, the Company had $717 outstanding in standby letters of credit. No commercial letters of credit were outstanding as of November 30, 2012.

Certain contractual cash obligations and other commercial commitments will impact our short and long-term liquidity. At November 30, 2012, such obligations and commitments are as follows:



	Amount of Commitment Expiration per Period (9)
			Less than		1-3		4-5		After
Contractual Cash Obligations	Total		1 Year		Years		Years		5 Years

1.	Represents total payments (interest and principal) due under a capital lease obligation which has a current (included in other current liabilities) and long term principal balance of $161 and $5,849, respectively at November 30, 2012.


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


3.	Represents amounts outstanding under the Company's Credit Facility and the Audiovox Germany Euro asset-based lending facility at November 30, 2012.


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


5.	This amount includes amounts due under a call-put option with certain employees of Audiovox Germany; amounts outstanding under a loan agreement for Audiovox Germany; an assumed mortgage on a facility in connection with our Klipsch acquisition; and amounts outstanding under mortgages for facilities purchased at Schwaiger and Klipsch.


6.	Represents contingent payments in connection with the Thomson Audio/Video, Invision, and Klipsch acquisitions.


7.	Represents the liability for an employer defined benefit pension plan covering certain eligible Hirschmann employees, as well as a retirement incentive accrual for certain Hirschmann employees.


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


9.	At November 30, 2012, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $4,655. A reasonable estimate of the timing related to these liabilities is not possible, therefore, such amounts are not reflected in this contractual obligation and commitments schedule.

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Acquisitions

On March 14, 2012, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, VOXX International (Germany) GmbH, acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Car Communication Holding GmbH and its worldwide subsidiaries ("Hirschmann") for a total purchase price of $114 million plus related transaction fees, expenses and a working capital adjustment. Hirschmann is a recognized tier-1 supplier of communication and infotainment solutions, primarily to the automotive industry. The acquisition of Hirschmann increases Voxx's distribution network, both domestically and abroad, and provides the Company with entry into the automotive antenna and digital tuner installation market.

The Company amended its credit agreement with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, increasing the aggregate principal amount to $205 million, to fund the acquisition and future working capital needs, as applicable. The acquisition and all related transaction costs, including the repayment of the remaining balance outstanding on the previous credit facility of $27.8 million, were funded with approximately $148 million borrowed under the Amended Facility.

Management is in the process of determining the final purchase price. Details of the preliminary tangible and intangible assets acquired are outlined in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements herein.

Related Party Transactions

During 1996, we entered into a 30-year capital lease for a building with our principal stockholder and chairman, which was the headquarters of the discontinued Cellular operation. Payments on the capital lease were based upon the construction costs of the building and the then-current interest rates. This capital lease was refinanced in December 2006 and the lease expires on November 30, 2026. The effective interest rate on the capital lease obligation is 8%. The Company subleases the building to Airtyme Communications LLC for monthly payments of $60 for a term of three years, which expires October 15, 2015. We also lease another facility from our principal stockholder which expires on November 30, 2016.

As a result of the acquisition of Klipsch, the Company assumed a lease for the facility housing the Klipsch headquarters in Indianapolis. The lessor was Woodview, LLC ("Woodview"), of which certain partners are executives of Klipsch. On April 20, 2012, the Company purchased this building from Woodview for $10.9 million. The Company paid cash of $3.1 million at closing plus $106 in closing costs, and assumed the mortgage held by Woodview in the amount of $7.8 million. The mortgage is due in May 2013 and bear interest at 5.85%.

Total lease payments required under all related party leases for the five-year period ending August 31, 2017 are $6,167.

New Accounting Pronouncements

We are required to adopt certain new accounting pronouncements. See Note 22 to our consolidated financial statements included herein.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our changes in foreign currency exchange rates are managed through normal operating and financing activities. We have foreign operations primarily in Germany, Hungary, Canada, Mexico, Denmark, the Netherlands, France and Venezuela and thus are exposed to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For the three months ended November 30, 2012, a uniform 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currency of our foreign operations would have resulted in a decrease in sales and net income of approximately $14.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively. For the nine months ended November 30, 2012, a uniform 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currency of our foreign operations would have resulted in a decrease in sales of approximately $22.3 million and $0.03 million, respectively. The effects of foreign currency exchange rates on future results would also be impacted by changes in sales levels or local currency prices.

The only significant change in our market risk sensitive instruments since February 29, 2012, is the addition of our Hirschmann acquisition whose results are noted in the above sales and net income amounts. The Company continues to monitor the political and economic climate in Venezuela. Venezuela represented 1.2% and 1.7% of quarterly and year to date sales, respectively. The majority of assets invested in Venezuela are cash related and are subject to government foreign exchange controls including its investment in Venezuelan government bonds. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements included herein.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, these disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of November 30, 2012 in order to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its filing under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

There were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the three and six month period ended November 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
