Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

August 31, 2009

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

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Audiovox Corporation and subsidiaries (“Audiovox” or the “Company”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented. The results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any interim period. These consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2009.

(2) Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has various stock-based compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 1 of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2009.

The Company granted 20,000 options during the three months ended August 31, 2009, which vest one-half on August 31. 2009 and one-half on November 30, 2009, expire two years from date of vesting (August 31, 2011 and November 30, 2011, respectively), have an exercise price equal to the sales price of the Company’s stock on the day prior to the date of grant, have a contractual life of 2.2 years and a grant date fair value of $2.22 per share.

As of August 31, 2009, the Company had unrecognized compensation costs of approximately $22 related to non-vested options. The unrecognized compensation costs related to these options will be completely recognized by the fiscal year ending February 28, 2010. At February 28, 2009, the Company had no unrecognized compensation costs as all stock options were fully vested.

The fair value of stock options on the date of grant, and the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the stock options using the Black-Scholes option valuation model granted during the respective periods were as follows:

	Three and six months ended August 31,
	2009			2008

Dividend yield		N/A			N/A
Weighted-average expected volatility		47.0	%		-
Risk-free interest rate		3.50	%		-
Expected life of options/warrants (in years)		2.15			-
Fair value of options/warrants granted	$	2.22		$	-

The expected dividend yield is based on historical and projected dividend yields. The Company estimates expected volatility based primarily on historical daily price changes of the Company’s stock equal to the expected life of the option. The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant. The expected option term is the number of years the Company estimates the options will be outstanding prior to exercise based on employment termination behavior.

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

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

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

Outstanding and exercisable at February 28, 2009		1,456,834		$	12.82
Granted		20,000			7.48
Exercised		(15,000	)		7.36
Forfeited/expired		(12,500	)		14.18
Outstanding and exercisable at August 31, 2009		1,449,334		$	12.82	0.45

(3) Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is based upon the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) 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 (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				Six Months Ended
	August 31,				August 31,
	2009		2008		2009		2008
Weighted-average common shares outstanding		22,872,191		22,857,114		22,868,792		22,855,864
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock options and warrants		61,537		-		30,769		-
Weighted-average common shares and potential common shares outstanding		22,933,728		22,857,114		22,899,561		22,855,864

Stock options and warrants totaling 1,238,062 and 1,548,177 for the three months ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and 1,341,538 and 1,554,101 for the six months ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were not included in the net income (loss) per diluted share calculation because the exercise price of these options and warrants was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during these periods or their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

(4) Fair Value Measurements

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, as amended by FSP No. 157-2, on March 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

Fair Value Hierarchy

SFAS No. 157 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs), or reflect the Company’s own assumptions of market participant valuation (unobservable inputs). In accordance with SFAS No. 157, these two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:

Audiovox Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

August 31, 2009

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

§	Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

§	Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

§	Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

SFAS No. 157 requires the use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis at August 31, 2009 consistent with the fair value hierarchy provisions of SFAS No. 157:

			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
			Quoted
			Prices in
			Active
			Markets for		Significant
			Identical		Other		Significant
	Balance at		Assets and		Observable		Unobservable
	August 31,		Liabilities		Inputs		Inputs
	2009		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash and money market funds	$	70,486	$	70,486	$	-	$	-
Long-term investment securities:
Deferred compensation assets and other		3,697		3,697		-		-
Held-to-maturity investment		7,446		7,446		-		-
Auction rate security		3,384		-		-		3,384
Other long-term investments		1,541		-		1,541		-
Total long-term investment securities		16,068		11,143		1,541		3,384
Total assets measured at fair value	$	86,554	$	81,629	$	1,541	$	3,384

As of August 31, 2009, the Company’s long-term investment securities consisted of marketable securities, an auction rate security, a dollar-denominated Venezuelan bond issued by the Venezuelan government which matures in 2015, and other long-term investments. The Company’s long-term investment securities are classified between trading, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity and accordingly, unrealized gains and losses on long-term investment securities classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity, net of tax. Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities are included in earnings.

As of August 31, 2009, the Company had $4,550 (at par value) of an auction rate security included within its portfolio of long-term investment securities, which is collateralized by student loan portfolios, guaranteed by the United States government. This auction rate security is classified as an available-for-sale long-term investment. As of August 31, 2009, the Company recorded approximately $1,166 of unrealized losses on this auction rate note.

Due to economic pressures in the U.S. credit markets during fiscal 2010, the Company considered various valuation techniques for its auction rate security. These analyses consider, among other items, the collateral underlying the security, the creditworthiness of the issuer, the timing of the expected future cash flows, including the final maturity, and an assumption of when the next time the security is expected to have a successful auction. These securities were also compared, when possible, to other observable and relevant market data, which is limited at this time. Accordingly, these securities continue to be classified as Level 3 within SFAS No. 157’s hierarchy.

The carrying amount of the Company's bank obligations, long-term debt and deferred compensation (which is directly associated with the trading securities in connection with the Company's deferred compensation plan) approximates fair value (which was determined using level 1 inputs for deferred compensation and level 2 inputs for bank obligations and long-term debt) because of (i) the short-term nature of the financial instrument; (ii) the interest rate on the financial instrument being reset every quarter to reflect current market rates; (iii) the stated or implicit interest rate approximates the current market rates or are not materially different than market rates and (iv) these liabilities being based on quoted prices in active markets.

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

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

(5) Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company’s total comprehensive income (loss) was as follows:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	August 31,						August 31,
	2009			2008			2009			2008

Net income (loss)	$	2,775		$	(2,311	)	$	3,248		$	(7,534	)

Other comprehensive income (loss):
Foreign currency translation adjustments		(11	)		(495	)		441			(296	)
Unrealized holding loss on available-for-sale investment securities arising during the period, net of tax		(124	)		(492	)		(81	)		(2,124	)
Other comprehensive (loss) income, net of tax		(135	)		(987	)		360			(2,420	)

Total comprehensive income (loss)	$	2,640		$	(3,298	)	$	3,608		$	(9,954	)

The changes in the net unrealized holding loss on available-for-sale investment securities arising during the periods presented above are net of tax benefits of $315 and $1,358 for the three and six months ended August 31, 2008, respectively. The Company did not record any tax benefits for the three and six months ended August 31, 2009 as a result of the valuation allowance recorded at February 28, 2009.

(6) Supplemental Cash Flow Information

The following is supplemental information relating to the consolidated statements of cash flows:

	Six Months Ended
	August 31,
	2009		2008

Interest (excluding bank charges)	$	564	$	847
Income taxes (net of refunds)	$	1,212	$	2,205

(7) Intangible Assets

Audiovox Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

August 31, 2009

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

At February 28, 2009, intangible assets consisted of the following:

	Gross				Total Net
	Carrying		Accumulated		Book
	Value		Amortization		Value

Trademarks/Tradenames/Licenses not subject to amortization	$	73,915	$	0	$	73,915
Customer relationships subject to amortization (5-20 years)		13,079		1,357		11,722
Trademarks/Tradenames subject to amortization (3-12 years)		1,180		269		911
Patents subject to amortization (5-10 years)		1,345		562		783
License subject to amortization (5 years)		1,400		373		1,027
Contract subject to amortization (5 years)		1,104		938		166
Total	$	92,023	$	3,499	$	88,524

Trademarks, tradenames and licenses not subject to amortization are net of an impairment charge of $9,957 recorded during Fiscal 2009. The Company recorded amortization expense of $374 and $440 for the three months ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively and $753 and $897 for the six months ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Annual amortization expense for each of the five years in the period ending August 31, 2014 is estimated to be as follows: $1,553, $1,385, $1,360, $1,068 and $1,022, respectively.

We evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of long-lived assets is considered impaired when the estimated undiscounted cash flows from such assets are less than their carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Fair value is determined by primarily using a discounted cash flow methodology that requires considerable management judgment and long-term assumptions. There were no impairment triggering events during the three and six months ended August 31, 2009, 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.

(8) Equity Investments

As of August 31, 2009 and February 28, 2009, the Company had a 50% non-controlling ownership interest in Audiovox Specialized Applications, Inc.

(9) 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 2010 excluding discrete items is estimated to be 22.5% (which includes U.S., state and local and foreign taxes) based upon the Company’s anticipated earnings both in the U.S. and in its foreign subsidiaries.

For the three months ended August 31, 2009, the Company recorded a benefit for income taxes of $1,578 which consisted of tax benefits related to discrete items including recently enacted state tax legislation impacting the recognition of certain tax positions under FIN No. 48 and the tax effects of certain foreign tax matters, offset by a tax provision related to U.S., state and local and foreign taxes. For the three months ended August 31, 2008 the Company recorded a benefit for income taxes of $1,652, which consisted of U.S., state and local and foreign taxes, offset by discrete items related to the quarterly FIN No. 48 adjustment.

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

(a) Domestic Bank Obligations

At August 31, 2009, the Company has a secured credit line to fund the temporary short-term working capital needs of the domestic operations. This line expired on September 30, 2009 and allows aggregate borrowings of up to $10,000 at an interest rate of Prime (or similar designations) plus 1% or LIBOR plus 5%. The line has subsequently been renewed until November 30, 2009. As of August 31, 2009 and February 28, 2009, no direct amounts were outstanding under this agreement. At August 31, 2009, the Company had $1,246 in standby and commercial letters of credit outstanding, which reduces the amount available under the secured credit line.

(b) Euro Asset-Based Lending Obligation

The Company has a 16,000 Euro accounts receivable factoring arrangement and a 6,000 Euro Asset-Based Lending ("ABL") (finished goods inventory and non-factored accounts receivable) credit facility for the Company's subsidiary, Audiovox Germany, which expires on October 31, 2010. Selected accounts receivable are purchased from the Company on a non-recourse basis at 85% of face value and payment of the remaining 15% upon receipt from the customer of the balance of the receivable purchased. The activity under this ABL is accounted for as a sale of accounts receivable in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities" ("SFAS No. 140"), as such transfers met the criteria in SFAS No. 140. In respect of the ABL credit facility, selected finished goods are advanced at a 60% rate and non-factored accounts receivables are advanced at a 50% rate. The rate of interest is the three month Euribor plus 1.4%, and the Company pays 0.16% of its gross sales as a fee for the accounts receivable factoring arrangement. As of August 31, 2009, the amount of accounts receivable and finished goods available for factoring exceeded the amounts outstanding under this obligation.

On March 30, 2008, Audiovox Germany entered into a 5 million Euro term loan agreement. This agreement is for a five-year term with a financial institution and was used to repay the Audiovox Germany intercompany debt to Audiovox Corporation. Payments under the term loan are to be made in two semi-annual installments of 500,000 Euros beginning on September 30, 2008 and ending on March 30, 2013. Interest accrues at a fixed rate of 4.82%. Any amount repaid can not be reborrowed. The term loan is secured by a pledge of the stock of Audiovox Germany and the Magnat brand name, prohibits the distribution of dividends, and takes precedence to all other intercompany loans with Audiovox Corporation.

(d) Oehlbach

In connection with the Oehlbach acquisition, the Company acquired short and long term debt payable to various third parties. The interest rate on the debt ranges from 4.2% to 6.1% and is payable from August 2009 to March 2011.

(e) Other Debt

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

(13) Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) is comprised of the following:

(14) Contingencies and Derivative Settlement

Contingencies

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

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

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

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.

Under the asset purchase agreement for the November 2004 sale of the Company’s Cellular business to UTStarcom, Inc. (“UTSI”), the Company agreed to indemnify UTSI for any breach or violation by ACC and its representations, warranties and covenants contained in the asset purchase agreement and for other matters, subject to certain limitations, for a period of five years. Significant indemnification claims by UTSI could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operation. The Company is not aware of any such claim(s) for indemnification.

(15) Subsequent Events

On October 1, 2009, Audiovox German Holdings GmbH acquired certain assets of Schwaiger, a German market leader in the consumer electronics, SAT and receiver technologies for approximately $4.3 million (3 million Euros). The purpose of this acquisition was to expand our European operations and increase our presence in the European accessory market. The acquisition is expected to add approximately $32 million (22 million Euros) in annualized sales during the remainder of our fiscal year. The Company plans to keep the operations headquartered in its current location, Langenzenn, Germany.

(16) New Accounting Pronouncements

On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141(R), Business Combinations (“Statement No. 141(R)”) and Statement No. 160, Accounting and Reporting of Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“Statement No. 160”). These new standards will significantly change the financialaccounting and reporting of business combination transactions and non-controlling (or minority) interests in consolidated financial statements. Statement No. 141(R) is required to be adopted concurrently with Statement No. 160 and is effective for business combination transactions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Business combination transactions accounted for before adoption of Statement No. 141(R) should be accounted for in accordance with Statement No. 141 and that accounting previously completed under Statement No. 141 should not be modified as of or after the date of adoption of Statement No. 141(R). All of the Company’s recent acquisitions fall under the scope of Statement No. 141. Statement No. 141(R) and Statement No. 160 are effective for the Company as of March 1, 2009, as such we will evaluate the impact as they relate to any future acquisitions.

Effective June 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. The Company will recognize in its condensed consolidated financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing its financial statements. Events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date will be disclosed in a footnote. In accordance with SFAS 165, the Company has evaluated events and transactions after the close of its balance sheet on August 31, 2009, until the date of the Company’s 10-Q filing with the SEC on October 13, 2009, for potential recognition or disclosure in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 166”). SFAS 166 eliminates the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity (“QSPE”) and modifies the derecognition provisions in SFAS No. 140. This statement is effective for financial asset transfers occurring after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. SFAS 166 is effective for the Company as of March 1, 2010. The Company is evaluating the potential impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS 166 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”). SFAS 167 modifies the approach for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) by amending Interpretation No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities – an interpretation of ARB No. 51” . Under SFAS 167, an enterprise is required to make a qualitative assessment whether it has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If an enterprise has both of these characteristics, the enterprise is considered primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. SFAS 167 is effective for the Company on March 1, 2010. The adoption of SFAS 167 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162,” (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 replaces SFAS No. 162 and establishes The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 will become effective for the Company beginning on September 1, 2009. The Company expects that SFAS 168 will not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 107-b and APB28-a. FSP FAS 107-a amends SFAS 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, and FSP APB 28-a amends APBO 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require fair value disclosures for interim financial statements. This FSP will be effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. However, the Company early adopted FSP FAS 107-a and APB 28-a on March 1, 2009. Since this FSP only requires enhanced disclosures, this standard did not effect the Company’s financial information or operating performance.

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

Forward-Looking Statements

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

We begin Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) with an overview of the business. This is followed by a discussion of the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments incorporated in our reported financial results. In the next section, we discuss our results of operations for the three and six months ended August 31, 2009 compared to the three and six months ended August 31, 2008. We then provide an analysis of changes in our balance sheets and cash flows, and discuss our financial commitments in the sections entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources”. We conclude this MD&A with a discussion of “Related Party Transactions” and “Recent Accounting Pronouncements”.

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

Business Overview

Audiovox Corporation (“Audiovox", “We", "Our", "Us" or “Company") is a leading international distributor in the accessory, mobile and consumer electronics industries. We conduct our business through nine wholly-owned subsidiaries: American Radio Corp., Audiovox Electronics Corporation (“AEC”), Audiovox Accessories Corp. (“AAC”), Audiovox Consumer Electronics, Inc. (“ACE”), Audiovox German Holdings GmbH (“Audiovox Germany”), Audiovox Venezuela, C.A., Audiovox Canada Limited, Entretenimiento Digital Mexico, S. de C.V. (“Audiovox Mexico”) and Code Systems, Inc. We market our products under the Audiovox® brand name and other brand names, such as Acoustic Research®, Advent®, Ambico®, Car Link®, Chapman®, Code-Alarm®, Discwasher®, Energizer®, Heco®, Incaar®, Jensen®, Mac Audio®, Magnat®, Movies2Go®, Oehlbach®, Phase Linear®, Prestige®, Pursuit®, RCA®, RCA Accessories®, Recoton®, Road Gear®, Spikemaster® and Terk®, as well as private labels through a large domestic and international distribution network. We also function as an OEM ("Original Equipment Manufacturer") supplier to several customers.

The Company is organized by product category as follows:

Electronics products include:

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

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

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

§	automotive security and remote start systems,

§	automotive power accessories,

§	rear observation and collision avoidance systems,

§	home and portable stereos,

§	two-way radios,

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

§	camcorders,

§	clock-radios,

§	digital voice recorders,

§	home speaker systems,

§	portable DVD players, and

§	digital picture frames.

Accessories products include:

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

§	Wireless Fidelity (“WiFi”) antennas,

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

§	home electronic accessories such as cabling,

§	other connectivity products,

§	power cords,

§	performance enhancing electronics,

§	TV universal remotes,

§	flat panel TV mounting systems,

§	iPod specialized products,

§	wireless headphones,

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

§	power supply systems, and

§	electronic equipment cleaning products.

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

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

Reportable Segments

We have determined that we operate in one reportable segment, the Electronics Group, based on review of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” (“SFAS No. 131”). 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 Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2009. Since February 28, 2009, 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 FAS No. 142. Based on our evaluation, there were no triggering events and no impairment of indefinite lived intangible assets in the quarter ended August 31, 2009. Due to the continued economic volatility, including fluctuations in interest rates, growth rates and changes in demand for our products, there could be a change in the valuation of indefinite lived intangible assets when the Company conducts its annual impairment test.

Results of Operations

As you read this discussion and analysis, refer to the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, which present the results of our operations for the three and six months ended August 31, 2009 and 2008. We analyze and explain the differences between periods based on the specific line items of the consolidated statements of operations.

Three months ended August 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended August 31, 2008

The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, certain statements of operations data for the three months ended August 31, 2009 and 2008.

Net Sales

	Three Months Ended August 31,
	2009		2008		$ Change			% Change

Electronics	$	79,031	$	111,662	$	(32,631	)		(29.2	)%
Accessories		45,859		35,546		10,313			29.0
Total net sales	$	124,890	$	147,208	$	(22,318	)		(15.2	)%

Electronic sales, which represented 63.3% of our net sales for the three months ended August 31, 2009 compared to 75.9% for the three months ended August 31, 2008 decreased $32,631, or 29.2%, as the Company has exited lower profit product categories such as flat-screen TV’s, portable navigation units and GMRS radios in addition to lower portable DVD sales. Further contributing to this decline were lower sales in our mobile, audio and video categories, primarily due to the weakening U.S. economy which has resulted in a steep decline in vehicle sales and lower demand for electronic products. Partially offsetting this decline were increased satellite radio sales as a result of our new agreement with Sirius/XM, and an increase in sales in our clock radio category.

Accessories sales, which represented 36.7% of our net sales for the three months ended August 31, 2009 compared to 24.1% for the three months ended August 31, 2008, increased $10,313 or 29.0% as a result of the introduction of new products, increased sales of digital antennas and new customers acquired during the quarter.

Sales incentive expense decreased $307 to $5,344 for the three months ended August 31, 2009 compared to the prior year period as a result of a decrease in sales to those accounts that require sales incentive support. The decrease in sales incentive expense also includes a $63 increase in reversals. The increase in sales incentive reversals was primarily due to an increase of $209 in unearned sales incentives as a result of large retail customers not reaching their minimum sales targets offset by a $146 decrease in unclaimed sales incentives. We believe the reversal of earned but unclaimed sales incentives upon the expiration of the claim period is a disciplined, rational, consistent and systematic method of reversing unclaimed sales incentives. These sales incentive programs are expected to continue and will either increase or decrease based upon competition and customer demands.

Gross Profit

	Three Months Ended August 31,
	2009			2008			$ Change			% Change

Gross profit	$	23,598		$	25,060		$	(1,462	)		(5.8	)%
Gross margin percentage		18.9	%		17.0	%

Our gross profit increased due to an increase in accessory product sales, which carry a higher margin than our other product lines. Also contributing to the increase in our margin were lower warehousing and assembly expenses as a result of our cost reduction programs, lower obsolescence charges and lower freight charges.

Operating Expenses and Operating Loss

	Three Months Ended August 31,
	2009		2008			$ Change			% Change

Operating Expenses:
Selling	$	6,203	$	8,276		$	(2,073	)		(25.0	)%
General and administrative		14,372		17,856			(3,484	)		(19.5	)
Engineering and technical support		2,205		2,979			(774	)		(26.0	)
Operating expenses		22,780		29,111			(6,331	)		(21.7	)%

Operating income (loss)	$	818	$	(4,051	)	$	4,869			120.2	%

Operating expenses decreased $6,331 or 21.7% for the three months ended August 31, 2009, as compared to the prior year. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses decreased to 18.2% for the three months ended August 31, 2009, from 19.8% in the prior year period. The decrease in total operating expenses was primarily due to the overhead reduction program and cost containment efforts the Company instituted in the second half of fiscal 2009 which included a one time charge of approximately $1 million related to these efforts. These programs addressed cost containment in all areas of the Company. Overall employee headcount was reduced by 18% year over year. Additional savings were realized in the majority of the Company’s expense categories including advertising, occupancy, employee benefits, professional fees and travel and entertainment. The Company continues to review and analyze its overhead in relationship to its revenue. If necessary, further revisions to our overhead structure will be implemented.

Selling expenses decreased $2,073 or 25.0% primarily due to savings associated with the overhead reduction and cost containment program. These savings include:

§	Sales salaries and benefits of $1,100 as a result of headcount reductions and temporary base salary reductions,

§	Commissions of $400 due to the decrease in net sales,

§	Advertising expenses of $490 as a result of a decline in general advertising, public relations fees and agency consulting,

§	Travel and entertainment of $140 as a result of headcount reductions and traveling constraints,

General and administrative expenses decreased $3,484 or 19.5% over the prior year due to the following:

§	Office salaries and taxes decreased $1,900 as a result of headcount reductions and a temporary base salary reduction,

§	Employee benefits declined $240 due to a reduction in health insurance costs and elimination of 401k and deferred compensation employer matches,

§	Occupancy and office expenses declined $450 due to cost containment efforts and closing of facilities,

§	Bad debt declined $180 as a result of recoveries during the second quarter,

§	Executive salaries decreased $60 as a result of temporary base salary reductions,

§	Professional fees decreased $290 due to a reduction in legal expenses and audit fees.

Engineering and technical support expenses decreased $774 or 26.0% as a result of a reduction in salaries and travel and entertainment due to the headcount reduction program, the sale of a portion of our American Radio operation and traveling constraints.

Other, net		408			89			319			358.4
Total other income, net	$	379		$	88		$	291			330.7	%

Interest and bank charges represent expenses for bank obligations of Audiovox Corporation and Audiovox Germany and interest for a capital lease. The decrease in interest and bank charges is primarily due to a reduction in the average monthly outstanding bank obligations of Audiovox Germany during the period.

Equity in income of equity investee decreased due to decreased equity income of Audiovox Specialized Applications, Inc (ASA) as a result of decreased sales due to the weakening U.S. economy and higher energy costs.

Other income increased as a result of a reduction in foreign tax credits and the strengthening U.S. dollar partially offset by lower interest rates paid on our short term investment holdings.

Income Tax Benefit/Provision

The effective tax rate for the three months ended August 31, 2009 was a benefit of 131.8% compared to a benefit of 41.7% in the prior period. For the three months ended August 31, 2009, the effective tax rate was different from the statutory rate primarily related to discrete tax items in connection with the recognition of certain tax positions under FIN No. 48 and the tax effects of certain foreign tax matters. For the three months ended August 31, 2008, the effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate due to changes in anticipated earnings for fiscal 2009, offset by discrete tax items related to the quarterly FIN No. 48 adjustments.

Net Income (Loss)

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

	Three Months Ended August 31,

Diluted	$	0.12		$	(0.10	)

Net income for the three months ended August 31, 2009 was $2,775 compared to a net loss of $2,311 in the prior year period. Net income per share for the three months ended August 31, 2009 was $0.12 (diluted) as compared to net loss per share of $0.10 (diluted) for the prior year period. Net income (loss) was favorably impacted by sales incentive reversals of $569 ($569 after taxes) and $506 ($309 after taxes) for the three months ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Six months ended August 31, 2009 compared to the six months ended August 31, 2008

The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, certain statement of operations data for the six months ended August 31, 2009 and 2008.

Net Sales

	Six Months Ended August 31,
	2009		2008		$ Change			% Change

Electronics	$	158,030	$	225,381	$	(67,351	)		(29.9	)%
Accessories		86,667		66,410		20,257			30.5
Total net sales	$	244,697	$	291,791	$	(47,094	)		(16.1	)%

Electronics sales, which represented 64.6% of our net sales for the six months ended August 31, 2009 compared to 77.2% in the prior year period, decreased $67,351 or 29.9% as the Company has exited lower profit product categories such as flat-screen TV’s, portable navigation units and GMRS radios in addition to lower portable DVD sales. Further contributing to this decline were lower sales in our mobile, audio and video categories, primarily due to the weakening U.S. economy which has resulted in a steep decline in vehicle sales and lower demand for electronic products, and the loss of a major customer. Partially offsetting this decline were increased satellite radio sales as a result of our new agreement with Sirius/XM and increased sales in the clock radio and camcorder categories.

Accessories sales, which represented 35.4% of our net sales for the six months ended August 31, 2009 compared to 22.8% in the prior year period, increased $20,257 or 30.5% as a result of the introduction of new products, increased product sales of digital antennas and new customers.

Sales incentive expense increased $559 to $11,193 for the six months ended August 31, 2009 compared to the prior year period as a result of an increase in sales to those accounts that require sales incentive support. The increase in sales incentive included a $34 decrease in reversals. The decrease in sales incentive reversals was primarily due to a decrease of $772 in unclaimed sales incentives partially offset by a $738 increase in unearned sales incentives as a result of large retail customers not reaching their minimum sales targets. We believe the reversal of earned but unclaimed sales incentives upon the expiration of the claim period is a disciplined, rational, consistent and systematic method of reversing unclaimed sales incentives. These sales incentive programs are expected to continue and will either increase or decrease based upon competition and customer demands.

Gross Profit

	Six Months Ended August 31,
	2009			2008			$ Change			% Change

Gross profit	$	46,523		$	47,575		$	(1,052	)		(2.2	)%
Gross margin percentage		19.0	%		16.3	%

Gross margins increased by 270 basis points from 16.3% to 19.0%. Gross margins were favorably impacted by lower costs as a result of our cost reduction program, reduced obsolescence charges and increased sales in our accessory group, which has higher margins. Also positively impacting our gross margin was the absence of the charge to exit the portable navigation market taken during the three months ended May 31, 2008.

Operating Expenses and Operating Income (Loss)

	Six Months Ended August 31,
	2009		2008			$ Change			% Change

Operating Expenses:
Selling	$	13,162	$	18,227		$	(5,065	)		(27.8	)%
General and administrative		28,033		35,505			(7,472	)		(21.0	)

Operating expenses	$	45,472	$	59,515		$	(14,043	)		(23.6	)%

Operating income (loss)	$	1,051	$	(11,940	)	$	12,991			108.8	%

Operating expenses decreased $14,043 or 23.6% for the six months ended August 31, 2009, as compared to the prior year. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses decreased to 18.6% for the six months ended August 31, 2009, from 20.4% in the prior year period. The decrease in total operating expenses was primarily due to the overhead reduction program and cost containment efforts the Company instituted in the second half of fiscal 2009 which included a one time charge of approximately $1 million related to these efforts. These programs addressed cost containment in all areas of the Company. Overall employee headcount was reduced by 18% year over year. Additional savings were realized in the majority of the Company’s expense categories including advertising, occupancy, employee benefits, travel and entertainment and insurance, and professional fees. The Company continues to review and analyze its overhead in relationship to its revenue. If necessary, further revisions to our overhead structure will be implemented.

Selling expenses decreased $5,065 or 27.8% primarily due to savings associated with the overhead reduction and cost containment program. These savings include:

§	Sales salaries, taxes and benefits of $2,180 as a result of headcount reductions and temporary base salary reductions,

§	Commissions of $1,150 due to the decrease in net sales,

§	Advertising expenses of $1,200 as a result of a decline in general advertising, public relations fees and agency consulting,

§	Travel and entertainment of $470 as a result of headcount reductions and traveling constraints,

§	Trade show expenses declined $70 due to less trade shows attended.

General and administrative expenses decreased $7,472 or 21.0% over the prior year due to the following:

§	Office salaries, taxes and temporary personnel decreased $3,830 as a result of headcount declines, temporary base salary reductions and a reduction in temporary personnel,

§	Benefits declined $810 due to a reduction in health insurance costs and elimination of 401k and deferred compensation employer matches,

§	Occupancy and office expenses declined $990 due to cost containment efforts and closing of facilities,

§	Bad debt declined $530 as a result of recoveries during the period,

§	Executive salaries decreased $200 as a result of temporary base salary reductions,

§	Travel and entertainment of $330 as a result of traveling constraints,

§	Professional fees of $240 as a result of a reduction in legal expenses and audit fees.

Engineering and technical support expenses decreased $1,506 or 26.0% as a result of a reduction in salaries and travel and entertainment due to the headcount reduction program, the sale of a portion of our American Radio operation and traveling constraints.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows, Commitments and Obligations

As of August 31, 2009, we had working capital of $238,238 which includes cash and short-term investments of $70,486, compared with working capital of $241,080 at February 28, 2009, which included cash and short-term investments of $69,504. The increase in cash is primarily due to a decrease in accounts and vendor receivables and a decline in inventory balances. These decreases were partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and the purchase of dollar-denominated bonds by our Venezuelan operation. We plan to utilize our current cash position as well as collections from accounts receivable, the cash generated from our operations and the income on our investments to fund the current operations of the business. However, we may utilize all or a portion of current capital resources to pursue other business opportunities, including acquisitions.

Operating activities provided cash of $7,198 for the six months ended August 31, 2009 principally due to decreased accounts receivable, vendor receivables and inventory which were paid or sold in the second quarter. These were partially offset by a decline in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

§	The Company experienced decreased accounts receivable turnover of 4.8 during the six months ended August 31, 2009 compared to 5.6 during the six months ended August 31, 2008.

§	Inventory turnover increased to 2.9 during the six months ended August 31, 2009 compared to 2.6 during the six months ended August 31, 2008.

Investing activities used cash of $6,312 during the six months ended August 31, 2009, primarily due to the purchase of long-term securities and property, plant and equipment which were netted by distributions from an equity investee.

Financing activities used cash of $488 during the six months ended August 31, 2009, primarily from repayment of bank obligations offset by borrowings from the Euro term loan.

Certain contractual cash obligations and other commercial commitments will impact our short and long-term liquidity. At August 31, 2009, such obligations and commitments are as follows:

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

Capital lease obligation (1)	$	10,667	$	521	$	1,082	$	1,148	$	7,916

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 $77 and $5,491, respectively at August 31, 2009.

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

3. Represents amounts outstanding under the Audiovox Germany Euro asset-based lending facility at August 31, 2009.

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

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

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

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

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Subsequent Events

Related Party Transactions

During 1998, we entered into a 30-year capital lease for a building with our principal stockholder and chairman, which was the headquarters of the discontinued Cellular operation. Payments on the capital lease were based upon the construction costs of the building and the then-current interest rates. This capital lease was refinanced in December 2006 and the lease expires on November 30, 2026. The effective interest rate on the capital lease obligation is 8%. On November 1, 2004, we entered into an agreement to sublease the building to Personal Communication Devices, LLC (Formerly UTStarcom) for monthly payments of $46 until November 1, 2009. The sublease lease agreement has been renewed and requires for a term of three years payments of $50 until November 1, 2012. We also lease another facility from our principal stockholder which expires on November 30, 2016. Total lease payments required under all related party leases for the five-year period ending May 31, 2014 are $6,476.
