Notes to Unaudited 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 28, 2017. The Company's financial statements for the prior periods presented herein have been recast to reflect a certain business that was classified as discontinued operations during the second quarter of Fiscal 2018. See Note 2 for additional information.

We operate in three reportable segments, Automotive, Premium Audio and Consumer Accessories. See Note 21 for the Company's segment reporting disclosures.

(2) Acquisitions and Dispositions

Rosen Electronics LLC

Rosen's results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purpose of this acquisition was to increase the Company's market share and strengthen its intellectual property related to the rear seat entertainment market.

The following summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price for the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:



Assets acquired:
Inventory	$	2,314

Hirschmann Car Communication GmbH

On August 31, 2017 (the "Closing Date"), the Company completed its sale of Hirschmann Car Communication GmbH and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Hirschmann”) to a subsidiary of TE Connectivity Ltd ("TE"). The consideration received by the Company was €148,500. The purchase price, at the exchange rate as of the close of business on the Closing Date approximated $177,000, and is subject to adjustment based upon the final working capital. VOXX International (Germany) GmbH, the Company's German wholly-owned subsidiary, was the selling entity in this transaction.

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

The Hirschmann subsidiary group, which was included within the Automotive segment, qualified to be presented as a discontinued operation in accordance with ASC 205-20 beginning in the Company's second quarter ending August 31, 2017. Voxx will not have any continuing involvement in the Hirschmann business subsequent to the Closing Date.

In order to hedge the fluctuation in the exchange rate before closing, the Company entered into forward contracts totaling €148,500, which could be settled on dates ranging from August 31, 2017 through September 6, 2017. As the sale of Hirschmann closed on August 31, 2017, the Company settled all of the forward contracts on this date. The forward contracts were not designated for hedging and a total foreign currency loss of $(6,618) was recorded in continuing operations for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 when the contracts were settled.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the carrying amounts of major classes of assets and liabilities of the discontinued operation to the amounts presented separately in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet:

(a) Includes an allocation of consolidated interest expense and interest expense directly related to debt assumed by the buyer. The allocation of consolidated interest expense was based upon the ratio of net assets of the discontinued operation to that of the Consolidated Company.

(b) The income tax expense on discontinued operations for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017, was positively impacted by an income tax benefit related to the partial reversal of the Company’s valuation allowance as the Company utilized a significant portion of its tax attributes to offset the U.S. tax gain related to sale of Hirschmann sale.

The following table presents supplemental cash flow information of the discontinued operation:

(3) Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share from continuing operations, net of non-controlling interest, is based upon the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share from continuing operations, net of non-controlling interest 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 (loss) per common share. A reconciliation between the denominator of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share is as follows:



	Three Months Ended August 31,		Six Months Ended August 31,
	2017	2016	2017	2016
Weighted-average common shares outstanding	24,160,680	24,160,324	24,160,502	24,160,324
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock options, warrants and restricted stock	—	82,123	—	95,017
Weighted-average common shares and potential common shares outstanding	24,160,680	24,242,447	24,160,502	24,255,341

Restricted stock, stock options and warrants totaling 586,395 and 328,576 for the three months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and 570,044 and 460,869 for the six months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, were not included in the net income (loss) per diluted share calculation because the exercise price of these stock options and warrants was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during these periods, or the inclusion of these components 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 August 31, 2017:

(a)	Included in this balance are investments in two non-controlled corporations accounted for at cost (see Note 5). The fair values of these investments would be based upon Level 3 inputs. At August 31, 2017 and February 28, 2017, it is not practicable to estimate the fair values of these items.

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 from 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. The forward foreign currency 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). The duration of open forward foreign currency contracts ranges from 1 - 6 months and are classified in the balance sheet according to their terms. The Company also has an interest rate swap agreement as of August 31, 2017 that hedges interest rate exposure related to the forecasted outstanding balance of its Florida Mortgage, with monthly payments due through March 2026. The swap agreement locks the interest rate on the debt at 3.48% (inclusive of credit spread) through the maturity date of the loan. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2017, the Company unwound another interest rate swap agreement that hedged interest rate exposure related to one of its mortgage notes when that mortgage was paid in full. The fair value of that interest rate swap agreement on the date it was unwound was $(114), and was charged to interest expense in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) during the six months ended August 31, 2016. Interest rate swap agreements qualifying for hedge accounting are designated as cash flow hedges and valued based on a comparison of the change in fair value of the actual swap contracts designated as the hedging instruments and the change in fair value of a hypothetical swap contract (Level 2). We calculate the fair value of interest rate swap agreements quarterly based on the

VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

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

quoted market price for the same or similar financial instruments. Interest rate swaps are classified in the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities based on the fair value of the instruments at the end of the period.

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 (Loss) and amounted to $(52) and $(95) for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017, respectively, and $29 and $(21) for the three and six months ended August 31, 2016, respectively.

Financial Statement Classification

The following table discloses the fair value as of August 31, 2017 and February 28, 2017 of derivative instruments:

In connection with the sale of Hirschmann on August 31, 2017 (see Note 2), the Company entered into forward contracts totaling €148,500, which could be settled on dates ranging from August 31, 2017 through September 6, 2017. As the sale of Hirschmann closed on August 31, 2017, the Company settled all of the forward contracts on this date. The forward contracts were not designated for hedging and a total foreign currency loss of $(6,618) was recorded for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017, within continuing operations, when the contracts were settled.

Cash flow hedges

During Fiscal 2017, the Company entered into forward foreign currency contracts, which have a current outstanding notional value of $9,720 and are designated as cash flow hedges at August 31, 2017. The current outstanding notional value of the Company's interest rate swap at August 31, 2017 is $8,864. 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 pertaining to continuing operations recorded during the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016 was as follows:

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 are offset by changes in 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").

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 and reported in Other Income (Expense).

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. No other-than-temporary losses were incurred by the Company during the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 or 2016.

Other Long-Term Investments

Other long-term investments include investments in two non-controlled corporations accounted for by the cost method. As of August 31, 2017, the Company's investments in 360fly, Inc. totaled $4,453 and we held 5.0% of the outstanding shares of this company. No additional investment was made in 360fly, Inc. during the three and six months ended August 31, 2017. During the three and six months ended August 31, 2017, the Company issued a senior secured note to 360fly, Inc. totaling $2,000. This note bears interest at 8% and is due on August 31, 2019.

On July 31, 2017, RxNetworks, a Canadian company in which Voxx held a cost method investment consisting of shares of the investee's preferred stock, was sold to a third party. In consideration for its holdings in RxNetworks on July 31, 2017, Voxx received cash, as well as a proportionate share of the value (consisting of preferred stock) in a newly formed subsidiary of RxNetworks, called Fathom Systems Inc. ("Fathom"). As a result of this transaction, Voxx recognized a gain of $1,416 for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017. The cash proceeds were subject to a hold-back provision, which was not included in the calculation of the gain recognized. As of August 31, 2017, the Company's investment in Fathom is being accounted for by the cost method and totaled $558 and we held 8.3% of the outstanding

shares of this company. Voxx's total cost method investment balance for 360fly, Inc. and Fathom was $5,011 as of August 31, 2017.

Balance at August 31, 2017	$	(13,992	)	$	(21	)	$	(592	)	$	(873	)	$	(15,478	)

In the above table, all reclassifications of other comprehensive income (loss) for the six months ended August 31, 2017 for foreign currency translation, investments and pension plan adjustments are related to the sale of Hirschmann on August 31, 2017 (see Note 2). Within reclassifications for derivatives designated in a hedging relationship, pre-tax losses totaling $(71) are related to cash flow hedge activity of discontinued operations for the six months ended August 31, 2017, and $335 is related to the sale of Hirschmann on August 31, 2017. Within other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassifications for derivatives designated in a hedging relationship, $(501) is related to cash flow hedge activity of discontinued operations for the six months ended August 31, 2017.

(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 28, 2017.

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 at February 28, 2017	116,250	$	7.76
Granted	—	—

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 for a reason other than death, disability or retirement, prior to the release of the restrictions. The Company has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP), which was established in Fiscal 2014. Shares are granted based on certain performance criteria and vest on the later of three years from the date of grant (or three years from the date of participation in the SERP with respect to grants made when the plan was established in Fiscal 2014), or the grantee reaching the age of 65 years. The shares will also vest upon termination of the grantee's employment by the Company without cause, provided that the grantee, at the time of termination, has been employed by the Company for at least 10 years, or as a result of the sale of all of the issued and outstanding stock, or all, or substantially all, of the assets of the subsidiary of which the grantee serves as CEO and/or President. When vested shares are issued to the grantee, the awards will be settled in shares or in cash, at the Company's sole option. The grantee cannot transfer the rights to receive shares before the restricted shares vest. There are no market conditions inherent in the award, only an employee performance requirement, and the service requirement that the respective employee continues employment with the Company through the vesting date. During July 2017, the Company granted 74,156 shares of restricted stock under the SERP. The Company expenses the cost of the restricted stock awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each employee or a maximum. For these purposes, the fair market value of the restricted stock is determined based on the mean of the high and low price of the Company's common stock on the grant dates. The fair market value of the restricted stock granted during July 2017 was $6.52.

In conjunction with the sale of Hirschmann on August 31, 2017 (see Note 2), all restricted shares granted to the CEO and President of Hirschmann, totaling 72,300 shares became immediately vested in accordance with the SERP and were settled in cash in the amount of $582. The remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to this

individual's restricted stock awards was recognized as a reduction of the gain on sale of discontinued operations in the amount of $373.

The following table presents a summary of the Company's restricted stock activity for the six months ended August 31, 2017:



	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value

During the three and six months ended August 31, 2017, the Company recorded $131 and $250 in stock-based compensation related to restricted stock awards for continuing operation, respectively. As of August 31, 2017, there was $670 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock awards.

(9) Supply Chain Financing

The Company has supply chain financing agreements and factoring agreements that were entered into for the purpose of accelerating receivable collection and better managing cash flow. The balances under the agreements are sold without recourse and are accounted for as sales of accounts receivable. Total receivable balances sold for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017, net of discounts, were $30,515 and $63,927, respectively, compared to $31,819 and $60,800 for the three and six months ended August 31, 2016, respectively.

(13) Income Taxes

For the six months ended August 31, 2017, the Company recorded an income tax benefit from continuing operations of $(3,963), which includes a discrete income tax provision of $65 related to the accrual of interest for unrecognized tax benefits and the re-measurement of state deferred taxes based on law changes enacted during the period. The income tax benefit relates primarily to foreign taxes offset by an income tax benefit for domestic losses incurred during Fiscal 2018, as the U.S. taxable income from discontinued operations is treated as a source of income under the intra-period allocation guidance. For the six months ended August 31, 2016, the Company recorded an income tax benefit from continuing operations of $(6,940), which includes a discrete income tax provision of $166 related to the accrual of interest for unrecognized tax benefits.

The effective tax rate for the six months ended August 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016 was an income tax benefit from continuing operations of 15.0% and 70.2%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended August 31, 2017 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the ability to provide an income tax benefit for domestic losses, as the U.S. taxable income from discontinued operations is treated as a source of income under the intra-period allocation guidance, coupled with the mix of domestic and foreign earnings, the non-controlling interest related to EyeLock LLC, and an income tax benefit related to various federal tax credits.

For the three months ended August 31, 2017, the Company recorded an income tax provision from continuing operations of $3,465, which includes a discrete income tax provision of $55 related to the accrual of interest for unrecognized tax benefits and the re-measurement of state deferred taxes based on law changes enacted during the quarter. For the three months ended August 31, 2016, the Company recorded an income tax benefit from continuing operations of $(5,543), which includes a discrete income tax provision of $64 related to the accrual of interest for unrecognized tax benefits.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended August 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016 was an income tax provision from continuing operations of 21.2% and an income tax benefit of 267.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended August 31, 2017 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the ability to provide an income tax benefit for domestic losses as the U.S. taxable income from discontinued operations is treated as a source of income under the intra-period allocation guidance, coupled with the mix of domestic and foreign earnings, the non-controlling interest related to EyeLock LLC, and an income tax benefit related to various federal tax credits.

At August 31, 2017, the Company had an uncertain tax position liability from continuing operations of $3,328, including interest and penalties. The unrecognized tax benefits include amounts related to various U.S. federal, state and local and foreign tax issues.

The availability under the revolving credit line within the Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base, which is based on eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and certain real estate, subject to reserves as determined by the lender, and is also limited by amounts outstanding under the Florida Mortgage (see Note 15(b)). In conjunction with the sale of Hirschmann on August 31, 2017 (see Note 2), the Company paid down substantially all of the outstanding balance of the revolving credit facility, as well as the entire outstanding balance of the term loan. As of August 31, 2017, $94 was outstanding under the revolving credit facility. The remaining availability under the revolving credit line of the Credit Facility was $100,563 as of August 31, 2017.

All amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility will mature and become due on April 26, 2021; however, it is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement). 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 as set forth in the agreement.

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

Generally, the Company may designate specific borrowings under the Credit Facility as either Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, except that swingline loans may only be designated as Base Rate Loans. Loans designated as LIBOR Rate Loans bear interest at a rate equal to the then applicable LIBOR rate plus a range of 1.75 - 2.25%. Loans designated as Base Rate loans bear interest at a rate equal to the applicable margin for Base Rate Loans of 0.75 - 1.25% as defined in the agreement. As of August 31, 2017, the weighted average interest rate on the facility was 5.00%.

The Credit Facility requires compliance with a financial covenant calculated as of the last day of each month, consisting of a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. The Credit Facility also contains covenants that limit the ability of the loan parties and certain of their subsidiaries which are not loan parties to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) incur liens; (iii) merge, consolidate or dispose of a substantial portion of their business; (iv) transfer or dispose of assets; (v) change their name, 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 transaction with an affiliate of any borrower or any of their subsidiaries; (xiii) use proceeds for certain items; (xiv) issue or sell any of their stock; (xv) consign or sell any of their inventory on certain terms. In addition, if excess availability under the Credit Facility were to fall below certain specified levels, as defined in the agreement, the lenders would have the right to assume dominion and control over the Company's cash. As of August 31, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants, including cash dominion.

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

Charges incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility during the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 totaled $57 and $118, respectively, compared to $73 and $122 during the three and six months ended August 31, 2016, respectively. These charges are included within Interest and Bank Charges on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The Company has deferred financing costs related to the Credit Facility and a previous amendment and modification of the Credit Facility. These deferred financing costs are included in Long-term debt on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as a contra-liability balance, and are amortized through Interest and Bank Charges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) over the five-year term of the Credit Facility. During the three and six months ended August 31, 2017, the Company amortized $197 and $395 of these costs, respectively, compared to $198 and $394 for the three and six months ended August 31, 2016, respectively. The net unamortized balance of these deferred financing costs as of August 31, 2017 was $2,806.

(b) Florida Mortgage

On July 6, 2015, VOXX HQ LLC, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, closed on a $9,995 industrial development revenue tax exempt bond under a loan agreement in favor of the Orange County Industrial Development Authority (the “Authority”) to finance the construction of the Company's manufacturing facility and executive offices in Lake Nona, Florida. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo") was the purchaser of the bond and U.S. Bank National Association is the trustee under an Indenture of Trust with the Authority. Voxx borrowed the proceeds of the bond purchase from the Authority during construction as a revolving loan, which converted to a permanent mortgage upon completion of the facility in January 2016 (the "Florida Mortgage"). The Company makes principal and interest payments to Wells Fargo, which began March 1, 2016 and will continue through March of 2026. The Florida Mortgage bears interest at 70% of 1-month LIBOR plus 1.54% (2.86% at August 31, 2017) and is secured by a first mortgage on the property, a collateral assignment of leases and rents and a guaranty by the Company. The financial covenants of the Florida Mortgage are as defined in the Company’s Credit Facility with Wells Fargo dated April 26, 2016.

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

The Company incurred debt financing costs totaling approximately $332 as a result of obtaining the Florida Mortgage, which are recorded as deferred financing costs and included in Long-term Debt as a contra-liability balance on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and are being amortized through Interest and Bank Charges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) over the ten-year term of the Florida Mortgage. The Company amortized $8 and $16 of these costs during both of the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

On July 20, 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement in order to hedge interest rate exposure related to the Florida Mortgage and pays a fixed rate of 3.48% under the swap agreement (See Note 4).

Foreign bank obligations include a Euro accounts receivable factoring arrangement, which has a credit limit of up to 60% of eligible non-factored accounts receivable (see Note 9), and a Euro Asset-Based Lending ("ABL") credit facility, which has a credit limit of €8,000 and expires on July 31, 2020 for the Company's subsidiary, VOXX Germany. The rate of interest for the factoring arrangement is the three-month Euribor plus 1.6% (1.28% at August 31, 2017) and the rate of interest for the ABL is the three-month Euribor plus 2.3% (1.97% at August 31, 2017). As of August 31, 2017, the amounts outstanding under these credit facilities, which are payable on demand, do not exceed their respective credit limits.

(d) Schwaiger Mortgage

In January 2012, the Company's Schwaiger subsidiary purchased a building, entering into a mortgage note payable. The mortgage note bears interest at 3.75% and will be fully paid by December 2019.

(e) Klipsch Note

This balance represents a mortgage on a facility included in the assets acquired in connection with the Klipsch acquisition on March 1, 2011 and assumed by Voxx. The balance of this note will be fully paid by the end of Fiscal 2018.

(f) Voxx Germany Mortgage

This balance represents a mortgage on the land and building housing Voxx Germany's headquarters in Pulheim, Germany, which was entered into in January 2013. The mortgage bears interest at 2.85%, payable in twenty-six quarterly installments through June 2019.

(16) Other Income (Expense)

(17) Foreign Currency

The Company has a subsidiary in Venezuela. Venezuela is currently experiencing significant political and civil unrest and economic instability and has implemented various foreign currency and price controls. The country has also 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 have had 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 Fuerte 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 was 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 for Venezuela and continues to account for the subsidiary under this method.

Since January 2014, the Venezuelan government has created multiple alternative exchange rates designated to be used for the purchase of goods and services deemed non-essential. In February 2015, the Venezuelan government introduced a new currency system, referred to as the Marginal Currency System, or SIMADI rate. This market-based exchange system consisted of a mechanism from which both businesses and individuals were allowed to purchase and sell foreign currency at the price set by the market. In March 2016, the Venezuelan government enacted further changes to its foreign currency exchange mechanisms, including a 59% devaluation of the official government exchange rate (DIPRO) from 6.3 bolivars to 10.0 bolivars to the U.S. dollar. Additionally, the SIMADI exchange rate was replaced by the DICOM, a new floating exchange rate for non-essential imports. The Venezuelan government reported that the DICOM exchange rate would be allowed to float to meet market needs. In May 2017, the Venezuelan government significantly devalued this currency further and as of August 31, 2017, the published DIPRO and DICOM rates offered were 10.0 and 3,250 bolivars to the U.S. dollar, respectively. As of August 31, 2017, the DICOM rate continues to be the appropriate rate to use for remeasuring its Venezuelan subsidiary’s financial statements. Total net currency exchange gains (losses) for Venezuela of $21 and $105 were recorded for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017, respectively, as compared to $(134) and $(65), respectively, for the three and six months ended August 31, 2016, and are included in Other Income (Expense) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Our investment in Venezuela mainly consists of $3,611 of properties that are currently being held for investment purposes. No impairments were recorded related to these properties during the three and six months ended August 31, 2017. The Company continues to monitor closely the continued economic instability, increasing inflation and currency restrictions imposed by the government and will continue to evaluate its local properties. Further devaluations or regulatory actions could impair the carrying value of these properties.

(18) Lease Obligations

At August 31, 2017, the Company was obligated under non-cancelable operating leases for equipment, as well as warehouse and office facilities for minimum annual rental payments for continuing operations, as follows:

(20) Variable Interest Entities

A variable interest entity ("VIE") is an entity that either (i) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (ii) has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Under ASC 810, an entity that holds a variable interest in a VIE and meets certain requirements would be considered to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and required to consolidate the VIE in its consolidated financial statements. In order to be considered the primary beneficiary of a VIE, an entity must hold a variable interest in the VIE and have both:

•the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE; and

•the right to receive benefits from, or the obligation to absorb losses of, the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE.

On September 1, 2015, Voxx acquired a majority voting interest in substantially all of the assets and certain specified liabilities of EyeLock, Inc. and EyeLock Corporation, a market leader of iris-based identity authentication solutions, through a newly-formed entity, EyeLock LLC. In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with EyeLock LLC. The terms of the Loan Agreement allowed EyeLock LLC to borrow up to $12,000, at an interest rate of 10%. During Fiscal 2017, as well as during the first and second quarters of Fiscal 2018, the Company issued four convertible promissory notes to EyeLock LLC, allowing the entity to borrow up to a total of $21,000 in

VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

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

additional funds. The outstanding principal balance of these promissory notes are convertible at the sole option of Voxx into units of EyeLock LLC. The convertible promissory notes bear interest at 10% and can be used only for working capital purposes related to new business opportunities. If Voxx chooses not to convert into equity, the outstanding loan principal will be repaid at a multiple ranging from 1.35 to 1.50 based on the repayment date. Amounts outstanding under the initial loan agreement are due on November 1, 2017, while the four convertible promissory notes executed during Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2018 are due on November 1, 2017, April 24, 2018 and September 1, 2018, respectively. All four agreements include customary events of default and are collateralized by all of the property of EyeLock LLC.

We determined that we hold a variable interest in EyeLock LLC as a result of:

•our majority voting interest and ownership of substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of the entity; and

•the loan agreements with EyeLock LLC, executed in conjunction with the acquisition, as well as during Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2018. The total outstanding balance of these loans as of August 31, 2017 was $28,456.

We concluded that we became the primary beneficiary of EyeLock LLC on September 1, 2015 in conjunction with the acquisition. This was the first date on which we had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity because we acquired a majority interest in substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of EyeLock, Inc. and EyeLock Corporation on this date, as well as obtained a majority voting interest as a result of this transaction. Although we are considered to have control over EyeLock LLC under ASC 810, due to our majority ownership interest, the assets of EyeLock LLC can only be used to satisfy the obligations of EyeLock LLC. As a result of our majority ownership interest in the entity and our primary beneficiary conclusion, we consolidated EyeLock LLC within our consolidated financial statements beginning on September 1, 2015.

Assets and Liabilities of EyeLock LLC

The following table sets forth the carrying values of assets and liabilities of EyeLock LLC that were included on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of August 31, 2017 and February 28, 2017:

(22) 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 does not believe that any of its current outstanding litigation matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements, individually, or in the aggregate.

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 patent, trademark or other intellectual property owners. 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 that are not advantageous to the Company, or pay material amounts of damages.

(23) New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use

VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

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

in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The standard requires entities to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The new guidance also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements intended to provide users of financial statements comprehensive information about the nature, amounts, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a company's contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and in doing so, it is possible that more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing guidance, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to separate performance obligations, among others.

Retrospective or modified retrospective application of the accounting standard is required. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date,” an amendment deferring the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities for one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2016. The FASB issued additional amendments to the initial guidance in March 2016, April 2016, May 2016, December 2016 and February 2017 within ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-11 ASU 2016-12, ASU 2016-20 and ASU 2017-05. We will adopt the provisions of ASU 2014-09 effective March 1, 2018.

Preliminarily, the Company expects to use the modified retrospective method upon adoption of the standard. The Company has reviewed selected customer contracts representing certain of our revenue streams for the current fiscal year. The assessment of the impact on revenue and expenses based on these reviews to determine the impact to the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows as a result of this guidance is ongoing. The Company will continue to review customer contracts during the remainder of Fiscal 2018. Any preliminary assessments are subject to change.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," which amends certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. This amendment requires all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of ASU 2016-01 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. This amendment will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren’t measured at fair value through net income. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to record allowances rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they do today under the other-than-temporary impairment model. It also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. The amendment will affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The amendments should be applied on either a prospective transition or modified-retrospective approach depending on the subtopic. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods

beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments," which addresses eight specific cash flow issues and is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory,” which is intended to improve the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. This update removes the current exception in GAAP prohibiting entities from recognizing current and deferred income tax expenses or benefits related to transfer of assets, other than inventory, within the consolidated entity. The current exception to defer the recognition of any tax impact on the transfer of inventory within the consolidated entity until it is sold to a third party remains unaffected. The amendments in this update are effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the future adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)" to reduce diversity in practice related to the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows. The revised guidance requires that amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The guidance will be applied on a retrospective basis beginning with the earliest period presented. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Clarifying the Definition of a Business," with the objective to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets versus businesses. The amendments in ASU 2017-01 provide a screen to determine when a set of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This screen is expected to reduce the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated. If the screen is not met, the amendments in ASU 2017-01 (i) require that to be considered a business, a set of assets and liabilities acquired must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output; and (ii) remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for transactions for which the acquisition date occurs before the issuance date of ASU 2017-01, only when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." Under the new guidance, if a reporting unit's carrying value amount exceeds its fair value, an entity will record an impairment charge based on that difference. The impairment charge will be limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The standard eliminates today's requirement to calculate goodwill impairment using Step 2, which calculates an impairment charge by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount. The standard does not change the guidance on completing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairments tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, "Compensation-Retirement Benefits: Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost." The new standard requires that an employer

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

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

disaggregate the service cost component of net benefit cost. Also, these amendments provide guidance on how to present the service cost component and the other components of net benefit costs in the income statement and allow only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope of Modification Accounting," which amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements. The standard provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. Specifically, an entity would not apply modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities," which improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better align risk management activities in financial statements and make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for any interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this new pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements.

We believe our segments 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. Notwithstanding the above, if the appropriate opportunity arises, the Company will explore the potential divestiture of a product line or business.

Acquisitions and Dispositions

On April 18, 2017, Voxx acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Rosen Electronics LLC. As consideration for the Rosen asset purchase, the Company paid $1,814. In addition, the Company agreed to pay a 2% fee related to future net sales of Rosen products for three years. The purpose of this acquisition was to increase the Company's market share and strengthen its intellectual property related to the rear seat entertainment market. Details of the tangible and intangible assets acquired are outlined in Note 2 of this report.

On August 31, 2017 (the "Closing Date"), the Company completed its sale of Hirschmann Car Communication GmbH and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Hirschmann”) to a subsidiary of TE Connectivity Ltd ("TE"). The consideration received by the Company was €148,500. The purchase price, at the exchange rate as of the close of business on the Closing Date approximated $177,000, and is subject to adjustment based upon the final working capital. The Hirschmann subsidiary group, which was included within the Automotive segment, qualified to be presented as a discontinued operation in accordance with ASC 205-20 beginning in the Company's second quarter ending August 31, 2017. Financial results of the discontinued operation through the sale date were as follows:



	Six Months Ended August 31,
	2017		2016
Net sales of discontinued operations	$	91,824	$	82,492
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax	32,710		(1,866		)
Income from discontinued operations per diluted share	$	1.35	$	(0.08	)

Details of the disposition are outlined in Note 2 of this report.

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 critical accounting policies is identified in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2017. Since February 28, 2017, there have been no changes in our critical accounting policies or changes to the assumptions and estimates related to them.

Results of Operations

As you read this discussion and analysis, refer to the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), which present the results of our operations for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016.

The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, certain statements of operations data from continuing operations for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, and therefore excludes all income statement activity of the discontinued operation.

Total net sales	$	228,293	$	232,225	$	(3,932	)	(1.7	)%

Automotive sales represented 28.8% and 30.5% of the net sales for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017, respectively, compared to 32.9% and 33.9% in the respective prior year periods. The Company experienced a decrease in automotive sales during the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 primarily due to the continued decline in satellite radio sales, as a result of most vehicles being built equipped with these products as standard vehicle options. Additionally, the Company had a decrease in sales related to its international OEM manufacturing line as a result of the completion of a program with Bentley during the first quarter of Fiscal 2018, with final spare parts shipments during the three and six months ended August 31, 2017. Within the Company's domestic OEM manufacturing lines, there was a decrease in sales during the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 related to the winding down of certain headrest programs with General Motors and Ford in preparation for new programs which have experienced delayed launches and will begin in the third quarter of Fiscal 2018. This was offset by an increase in sales during the six months ended August 31, 2017 resulting from additional vehicle models added to the Company's existing programs with Subaru. The Company also saw an increase in aftermarket overhead and headrest DVD player sales for both the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 as a result of the Company's acquisition of Rosen Electronics LLC during the first quarter of Fiscal 2018.

Premium Audio sales represented 35.2% and 34.0% of our net sales for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017, respectively, compared to 29.5% and 28.9% in the respective prior year periods. Sales have increased in this segment primarily as a result of the introduction of several new products, including various lines of HD wireless desktop and bookshelf size speakers, wireless soundbars, Klipsch Heritage products, and wireless and multi-room streaming audio systems, including Capital Records branded products. These products were launched during Fiscal 2017, as well as during the second quarter of Fiscal 2018, and have experienced strong sales for the segment for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017. The Company also offered several close out promotions on certain soundbar models that are being phased out to make room for new product lines, which resulted in further sales increases as a result of these promotions. Additionally, the Company experienced an increase in sales of several of its existing lines of home entertainment speakers due to successful marketing and promotional activity. These increases were partially offset by decreases in commercial speaker sales during the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 due to the delay of certain projects and programs, which is primarily a result of slower box office sales that have affected many of the Company's cinema customers.

Consumer Accessory sales represented 35.8% and 35.3% of our net sales for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017, respectively, compared to 37.4% and 37.0% in the comparable prior year periods. The Company experienced a decrease in consumer accessory sales due to factors including a decline in sales of the 360Fly action camera product. There was also a decrease in sales of hook-up products; clock radios; docking stations; reception products, such as antennas; and power products, such as cables and surge protectors, due to competition, changes in demand and changes in technology during the three and six months ended August 31, 2017. As an offset to these declines, the Company experienced an increase in sales of wireless speakers during the three and six months ended August 31, 2017, as compared to the prior year. The Company is now seeing increases in sales of its wireless speaker lines due to new orders and placements at retailers, as well as the launch of new product lines. The Company also experienced increases in sales during the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 related to its new Striiv activity tracking bands, which began selling during the second quarter of Fiscal 2018, as well as in the Company's new Project Nursery product line, which includes baby monitors and launched in the second quarter of Fiscal 2017. Additionally, during the three and six months ended August 31, 2017, the Company experienced an increase in international sales, primarily due to the roll out of an upgrade

to the digital broadcasting platform in Europe during Fiscal 2017, which has required consumers to purchase new equipment, such as set top boxes.

Gross margins in the Automotive segment decreased 270 and 20 basis points, respectively, for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 as compared to the prior year. The main driver of this decline in margins was an overall decrease in the Company's OEM manufacturing sales for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017, from which the Company generally earns higher margins. This was offset by an increase in sales of certain higher margin products, such as the Company's aftermarket overhead and headrest DVD players, due to the acquisition of Rosen, as well as decreased sales of lower margin products, such as satellite radio fulfillments during the three and six months ended August 31, 2017.

Gross margins in the Premium Audio segment decreased 180 and 460 basis points, respectively, for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 as compared to the comparable prior year periods. The decline in margins was primarily a result of heavy promotions of older soundbar models that the Company is phasing out in order to make way for a new line of products. The Company also experienced lower sales of its higher margin commercial speakers during the three and six months ended August 31, 2017. As an offset to these declines, the segment experienced an increase in sales of certain higher margin products, such as home entertainment speakers for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017. Additionally, during the prior year periods, the Company offered close out promotions for certain portable mobile devices that were not repeated during the three and six months ended August 31, 2017, and resulted in higher margins for the segment's mobility products.

Gross margins in the Consumer Accessories segment decreased 360 and 220 basis points, respectively, for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017, as compared to the prior year period. For the three and six months ended August 31, 2017, margins were negatively impacted by decreased sales of certain higher margin products, including hookup products, as well as by the increase in sales of the Company's new Striiv activity band, which contributed significant sales during the three and six months ended August 31, 2017, but generated lower margins for the segment. The Company also incurred increased freight charges due to an increased demand for certain remote products during the three and six months ended August 31, 2017, thus driving down margins for these products. Additionally, the Company incurred a one-time settlement charge during the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 related to a contract shortfall with a vendor for the purchase of certain products, which caused margins to be negatively impacted for the periods. Finally, during the six months ended August 31, 2016, certain warranty reserves were released and adjusted based on actual sales and warranty activity. As a result, warranty expense during the six months ended August 31,

2017 is higher as compared to the prior year period and has resulted in a further decline in the margin for the year. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in sales of higher margin products, such as the Company's Project Nursery line of baby monitors, and an increase in sales of the segment's wireless speakers. There was also a decrease in sales of action cameras during the three and six months ended August 31, 2017. As the sales of this product generally produce lower margins for the Company, the decrease in sales offset the overall decline in margins for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017.

Total operating expenses	$	77,935	$	74,109	$	3,826		5.2	%

Total operating expenses have increased for both the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 as compared with the three and six months ended August 31, 2016. Selling expenses increased during the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 due primarily to advertising and marketing related expenses as a result of increased web advertising, in-store vignettes and displays, and coverage of the Company's trade show events. There was also a modest increase in salary and benefit expenses within selling expenses due to an increase in headcount in certain business units, as well as severance expense incurred due to restructuring activities in others. Within general and administrative expenses, the Company experienced increases related to the implementation of a new payroll and time and attendance system that took effect during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2017, as well as due to salary, benefits and payroll related expenses as a result of bonus accruals, headcount increases in certain business units, and severance expenses resulting from restructuring activities in others. The increases were offset by a decline in occupancy costs related to the consolidation of the Company's shared services into one location, which was completed during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2017. Engineering and technical support expenses increased during the three months ended August 31, 2017, but decreased during the six months ended August 31, 2017, primarily due to the timing of research and development expenditures and product launches as compared to the prior year periods.

Interest and bank charges represent expenses for the Company's bank obligations, interest related to capital leases and amortization of debt issuance costs. The increase in these expenses for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 is due to a higher average outstanding balance on the Company's Credit Facility compared to the prior year periods.

Equity in income of equity investees represents the Company's share of income from its 50% non-controlling ownership interest in ASA Electronics LLC and Subsidiaries ("ASA"). The increase in income from ASA for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 as compared to the prior year was due to a favorable product mix, resulting in higher sales for several of the company's existing customers, as well as a special project performed for one of the company's customers during the period.

During July 2017, one of the Company's cost method investees, RxNetworks, was sold to a third party, resulting in a gain recognized by the Company for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017, representing the excess of the consideration received for the investment held by the Company on the date of the transaction.

Other, net, during the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 primarily includes net foreign currency losses of $(7,387) and $(8,219), respectively, interest income of $16 and $31, respectively, and rental income of $131 and $275, respectively, while Other, net, during the three and six months ended August 31, 2016, primarily included foreign currency losses of $(67) and $(773), respectively, interest income of $77 and $100, respectively, and rental income of $176 and $349, respectively. Included in the foreign currency losses for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 are losses on forward contracts totaling $(6,618) incurred in conjunction with the sale of Hirschmann.

Income from Discontinued Operations

On August 31, 2017, the Company completed its sale of Hirschmann to a subsidiary of TE. The consideration received by the Company was €148,500. The purchase price, at the exchange rate as of the close of business on August 31, 2017 approximated $177,000, and is subject to adjustment based upon the final working capital. For the three and six months ended August 31, 2017, income from discontinued operations consisted primarily of a gain on sale of $36,118 in both periods, as well as operating income of $1,562 and $2,840, respectively. For the three and six months ended August 31, 2016, income from discontinued operations consisted primarily of operating income of $1,296 and $1,764, respectively. The increase in operating income for the Company's discontinued operation for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 was primarily due to an increase in tuner and antenna sales during these periods as compared to the prior year.

Income Tax Provision

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 was an income tax provision of 21.2% and an income tax benefit of 15.0%, respectively, compared to an income tax benefit of 267.6% and 70.2%, respectively, in the comparable prior periods. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 differs from the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the ability to provide an income tax benefit for domestic losses, as the U.S. taxable income from discontinued operations is treated as a source of income under the intra-period allocation guidance, coupled with the mix of domestic and foreign earnings, the non-controlling interest related to EyeLock LLC and an income tax benefit related to various federal tax credits.

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.

The net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended August 31, 2017 was unfavorably impacted by an operating loss, which was driven by lower sales and gross profits, as well as higher operating expenses; a loss on foreign currency contracts incurred in conjunction with the sale of Hirschmann; net losses incurred by EyeLock LLC, the Company's majority owned subsidiary; and income tax expense. This was offset by an investment gain related to the sale of one of the Company's cost method investments and the performance of the Company's equity investment. The net loss from continuing operations for the six months ended August 31, 2017 was unfavorably impacted by an operating loss, which was driven by lower sales and gross profits, as well as higher operating expenses; a loss on foreign currency contracts incurred in conjunction with the sale of Hirschmann; and by net losses incurred by EyeLock LLC, the Company's majority owned subsidiary. This was offset by an investment gain related to the sale of one of the Company's cost method investments, the performance of the Company's equity investment, and an income tax benefit. Net income from continuing operations for the three months ended August 31, 2016, as well as the net loss for the six months ended August 31, 2016 were both favorably impacted by income tax benefits, as well as by the performance of the Company's equity investment and offset by net losses incurred by EyeLock LLC, the Company's majority owned subsidiary.

The net income from discontinued operations for both the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 was favorably impacted by the gain on the sale of Hirschmann, offset by income tax expense. For the three and six months ended August 31, 2016, net loss from discontinued operations was unfavorably impacted by income tax expense, offset by net operating income in both periods.

Net income attributable to VOXX International Corporation for both the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 was favorably impacted by the gain on sale of Hirschmann, as well as the effect of the minority interest of EyeLock LLC, and was offset by losses incurred by the Company's continuing operations, including a loss on foreign currency contracts incurred in conjunction with the sale of Hirschmann. Net income attributable to VOXX International Corporation for the three months ended August 31, 2016 was favorably impacted by the effect of the minority interest of EyeLock LLC and net income tax benefits, offset by operating losses from continuing operations. The net loss attributable to VOXX International Corporation for the six months ended August 31, 2016 was unfavorably impacted by operating losses from continuing operations, offset by a net income tax benefit and the effect of the minority interest of EyeLock LLC

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Diluted Adjusted EBITDA per Common Share

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Diluted Adjusted EBITDA per common share are not financial measures recognized by GAAP. EBITDA represents net income (loss) attributable to VOXX International Corporation, computed in accordance with GAAP, before interest expense and bank charges, taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, gains on the sale of discontinued operations, losses on forward contracts, and investment gains. Depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation 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 EBITDA, 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 earnings 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 certain costs or gains relating to non-recurring events 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 an appropriate measure for performance relative to other companies. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Diluted Adjusted EBITDA per common share should not be assessed in isolation from, 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 August 31, 2017, we had working capital of $169,138 which includes cash and cash equivalents of $45,821, compared with working capital of $143,281 at February 28, 2017, which included cash and cash equivalents of $956. 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 to further pay down our debt.

Operating activities used cash of $32,207 for the six months ended August 31, 2017, principally due to increases in the Company's inventory, as well as prepaid expenses and other assets, and was offset by a decrease in accounts receivable and an increase in accrued expenses. For the six months ended August 31, 2016, operating activities used cash of $7,017 due primarily to increases

in the Company's inventory balance and decreases in accrued expenses and income taxes payable, which was offset by decreases in accounts receivable as a result of collections and factoring of certain trade accounts receivable balances.

Investing activities provided cash of $163,991 during the six months ended August 31, 2017 primarily as a result of the sale of Hirschmann on August 31, 2017, which was offset by cash used for capital additions, as well as the acquisition of Rosen Electronics LLC and the issuance of notes receivable. For the six months ended August 31, 2016, investing activities used cash of $5,089, primarily as a result of capital additions made during the quarter.

Financing activities used cash of $92,272 during the six months ended August 31, 2017, primarily due to the repayment of balances outstanding on the Company's Credit Facility as a result of the sale of Hirschmann. Financing activities provided cash of $4,584 during the six months ended August 31, 2016, primarily due to borrowings of bank obligations, net of repayments.

The Company has a senior secured credit facility (the "Credit Facility") that provides for a revolving credit facility with committed availability of up to $140,000, which may be increased, at the option of the Company, up to a maximum of $175,000, and a term loan in the amount of $15,000. The Credit Facility also includes a $15,000 sublimit for letters of credit and a $15,000 sublimit for swingline loans. The availability under the revolving credit line within the Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base, which is based on eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and certain real estate, subject to reserves as determined by the lender, and is also limited by amounts outstanding under the Florida Mortgage (see Note 15(b)). In conjunction with the sale of Hirschmann on August 31, 2017 (see Note 2), the Company paid down substantially all of the outstanding balance of the revolving credit facility, as well as the entire outstanding balance of the term loan. As of August 31, 2017, $94 was outstanding under the revolving credit facility. The remaining availability under revolving credit line of the Credit Facility was $100,563 as of August 31, 2017.

Generally, the Company may designate specific borrowings under the Credit Facility as either Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, except that Swingline 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 1.75 - 2.25%. Loans designated as Base Rate loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the applicable margin for Base Rate Loans of 0.75 - 1.25% as defined in the agreement.

On August 31, 2017, the Company completed its sale of Hirschmann to a subsidiary of TE. The consideration received by the Company was €148,500. The purchase price, at the exchange rate as of the close of business on August 31, 2017 approximated $177,000, and is subject to adjustment based upon the final working capital. As of August 31, 2017, a total of $94 was outstanding under the Credit Facility compared to $92,793 at February 28, 2017. The decrease in the outstanding credit facility balance as of August 31, 2017 is principally a result of the Company's decision to pay down the outstanding balance of the Credit Facility in conjunction with the sale of Hirschmann.

Certain contractual cash obligations and other commercial commitments will impact our short and long-term liquidity. At August 31, 2017, such obligations and commitments are as follows:



	Amount of Commitment Expiration per Period (9)
			Less than		2-3		4-5		After

1.	Represents total principal payments due under capital lease obligations which have a total current (included in other current liabilities) and long-term principal balance of $303 and $849, respectively, at August 31, 2017.


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


3.	Represents amounts outstanding under the Company's Credit Facility and the Voxx Germany Euro asset-based lending facility at August 31, 2017.


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


5.	This amount includes amounts due under an assumed mortgage on a facility in connection with the acquisition of Klipsch, as well as amounts outstanding under loans and mortgages for our manufacturing facility in Florida and for facilities purchased at Schwaiger and Voxx Germany.


6.	Represents the liability for an employer defined benefit pension plan covering certain eligible employees of Voxx Germany.


7.	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.

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.

Related Party Transactions

None noted.

New Accounting Pronouncements

We are required to adopt certain new accounting pronouncements. See Note 23 to our consolidated financial statements included herein.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency

Voxx conducts business in various non-U.S. countries, including Germany, Canada, Mexico, China, Denmark, the Netherlands, and France and thus is exposed to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates. A cumulative foreign currency translation loss of $(13,992) related to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at August 31, 2017. The aggregate foreign currency transaction exchange rate losses included in determining income before income taxes were $(7,387) and $(8,219) for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017, respectively, compared to $(67) and $(773) for the three and six months ended August 31, 2016, respectively. Included in the foreign currency losses for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 are losses on forward contracts totaling $(6,618) incurred in conjunction with the sale of Hirschmann. For the three and six months ended August 31, 2017, 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 from continuing operations of approximately $1,900 and $3,900, respectively, and net income from continuing operations of approximately $190 and $180, 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 Company continues to monitor the political and economic climate in Venezuela. Venezuela did not have any sales for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017. Approximately $51 of assets invested in Venezuela are cash related and are subject to government foreign exchange controls. The Company also maintains $3,611 in real estate property in Venezuela that could be subject to government foreign exchange controls upon their ultimate sale, or as a result of additional currency restrictions.

The Company enters into forward foreign currency contracts which are utilized to hedge a portion of its foreign currency inventory purchases. As of August 31, 2017, the total net fair value of our forward foreign currency contracts recorded in Accrued expenses and other liabilities and Prepaid expenses and other current assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet was $(690). Total gains recognized related to forward foreign currency contracts settled during the three and six months ended August 31, 2017 were $42 and $317, respectively, compared to $44 and $259, respectively, during the three and six months ended August 31, 2016.

Interest

In connection with the Amended Credit Facility and the Florida Mortgage, we have debt outstanding in the amount of $94 and $8,864, respectively, at August 31, 2017. Interest on the Amended Credit Facility is charged at a range of LIBOR plus 0.75 - 2.25% and interest on the Florida Mortgage is charged at 70% of 1-month LIBOR plus 1.54%. The Company also has debt outstanding with variable interest rates on its Euro asset based lending obligation in Germany (see Note 15(c)). The Company currently has one interest rate swap for the Florida Mortgage with a notional amount of $8,864 at August 31, 2017. This swap locks the interest rate at 3.48% (inclusive of credit spread) on the Florida Mortgage through the mortgage end date of March 2026.

As of August 31, 2017, the total net fair value of the interest rate swap recorded in Other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet is $(367), which represents the amount that would be received/(paid) upon unwinding the interest rate swap agreement based on market conditions on that date. Changes in the fair value of these interest rate swap agreements are reflected as an adjustment to other assets or liabilities with an offsetting adjustment to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) since the hedges are deemed fully effective. During the six months ended August 31, 2016, the Company unwound an interest rate swap, resulting in a charge to interest expense of $(114), representing the fair value of the interest rate swap on the date of the unwind.

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.

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-month period ended August 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
