ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

Andrea Electronics Corporation (“Andrea”) designs, develops and manufactures state-of-the-art microphone technologies and products for enhancing speech-based applications software and communications that require high quality, clear voice signals. Our technologies eliminate unwanted background noise to enable the optimum performance of various speech-based and audio applications. We are incorporated under the laws of the State of New York and have been engaged in the electronic communications industry since 1934.

Andrea’s products and technologies optimize the performance of speech-based applications and audio applications in primarily the following markets:


	•	computer speech recognition applications;

	•	computer voice over the internet protocol (VoIP) applications; and

	•	consumer electronics accessories.

Andrea Digital Signal Processing (“DSP”) Microphone and Audio Software Business – Our patented and patent-pending digital noise canceling technologies enable a speaker to be at a distance from the microphone (we refer to this capability as “far-field” microphone use), and free the speaker from having to use a close talking microphone. Our Digital Super Directional Array (“DSDA”) and Pure Audio microphone products convert sound received by an array of microphones into digital signals that are then processed to cancel background noise from the signal to be transmitted. These two adaptive technologies represent the core technologies within our portfolio of far-field technologies. In addition to DSDA and Pure Audio, Andrea has developed and commercialized several other digital, far-field noise canceling technologies, including, among others, Andrea EchoStop, a high-quality acoustic echo canceller which enables speaker phone functionality with technology for canceling unwanted stationary noises.

All of our digital, far-field microphone technologies are software-based and operate using either a dedicated DSP or a general purpose processor (for example, the Intel Pentium). The software, which may encompass one or all of our far-field noise canceling technologies, can be applied to improve the performance of a single microphone or multiple microphones. In addition, our digital, far-field, noise canceling technologies can be tailored and implemented into various form factors, for example, into the monitor of a PC, a personal digital assistant or a rear view mirror, and can be used individually or combined depending on particular customer requirements.

We are currently targeting our far-field technologies at 1) the desktop and laptop computing market; 2) the video and audio conferencing market and 3) the market for personal hands free communication designed for use in automobiles, trucks and buses to control PCs and cellular communication. Our far-field, digital noise canceling technologies and related products, together with implementations of other high-end audio technologies (for example, our software noise cancellation technology) comprise our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software line of business. Net revenues of such technologies and products during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 approximated 49% and 32%, respectively, of our total net revenues. We dedicate a significant amount of our marketing and research and development resources to this business segment, as we believe that communication products will increasingly require high performance, untethered (hands-free and headset-free) microphone technology.

Andrea Anti-Noise Headset Product Business – Our headset microphone products help to ensure clear speech in personal computer and VoIP headset applications. Our Active Noise Cancellation microphone technology uses electronic circuits that distinguish a speaker’s voice from background noise in the speaker’s environment and then cancels the noise from the signal to be transmitted by the microphone. Our Active Noise Reduction headphone technology uses electronic circuits that distinguish the signal coming through an earphone from background noise in the listener’s environment and then reduces the noise heard by the listener. Together with our standard Noise Canceling headset products, these products comprise our Andrea Anti-Noise Headset Product segment. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, our Andrea Anti-Noise Headset Product segment approximated 51% and 68%, respectively, of our total net revenues.

For more financial information regarding our operating segments, see Note 14 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Industry Background

Our primary mission is to provide the emerging “voice interface” markets with state-of-the-art microphone and communication products. The idea underlying these markets is that natural language spoken by the human voice will become an important means by which to communicate and control many types of computing devices and other appliances and equipment that contain

microprocessors. We are designing and marketing our products and technologies to be used for these “natural language, human/machine” interfaces with:


	•	desktop, laptop and hand-held computers, mobile personal computing devices and cellular phones;

	•	video and audio conferencing systems; and

	•	automotive communication systems.

We believe that end users of these applications and interfaces will require high quality microphone and earphone products that enhance voice transmission, particularly in noisy office and mobile environments. We also believe that these applications will increasingly require microphones that are located at a distance from the person speaking, or far-field microphone technology. Applications in this area include:


	•	continuous speech dictation to personal computers;

	•	multiparty video teleconferencing and software that allow participants to see and jointly communicate; and

	•	cellular hands free interfaces for automobiles, home and office automation.

We believe that an increasing number of these devices will be introduced into the marketplace during the next several years.

Our Strategy

Our strategy is to:


	•	maintain and extend our market position with our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software technologies and products and our higher margin Andrea Anti-Noise products;

	•	develop relationships with companies that have significant distribution capabilities for our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software technologies and products and Andrea Anti-Noise products;

	•	broaden our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software product lines and Andrea Anti-Noise product lines through a more modest, but still healthy level of internal research and development;

	•	design our products to satisfy specific end-user requirements identified by our collaborative partners; and

	•	outsource manufacturing of our products in order to reduce fixed overhead and achieve economies of scale.

An important element of our strategy for expanding the channels of distribution and broadening the base of users for our products is our collaborative arrangements with manufacturers of computing and communications equipment and software publishers that are actively engaged in the various markets in which our products have application. In addition, we have been increasing our own direct marketing efforts to new market bases such as consumer electronics accessory distributors and existing market bases such as those companies increasingly using distance learning applications.

The success of our strategy will depend on our ability to, among other things:


	•	increase net revenues of Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software products and our line of existing Andrea Anti-Noise products;

	•	continue to contain costs;

	•	introduce additional Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software products and Andrea Anti-Noise products;

	•	maintain the competitiveness of our technologies through focused and targeted research and development; and

	•	achieve widespread adoption of our products and technologies through ongoing marketing efforts.

Our Technologies

We design our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software and Andrea Anti-Noise products to transmit voice signals with the high level of quality, intelligibility and reliability required by the broad range of voice-based applications in computing and telecommunications. We achieve this through the use of several audio technologies that employ software processes that are proprietary to us. Software processes of this type are commonly referred to as algorithms.

Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Technology

This set of technologies is generally based on the use of an array of microphones from which the analog signals are converted to digital form and then processed using digital electronic circuitry to eliminate unwanted noise in the speaker’s environment. Our

Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products provide clear acoustic and audio input performance where the desired audio signal is at a distance from the microphone. An example of this is a person using a notebook computer with embedded web cam and array microphone who wants to video conference using VoIP with a friend in another country. We have also engineered our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products to be compatible with Universal Serial Bus, or USB, computer architecture. USB is an industry standard for connecting peripherals, such as microphones, earphones, headsets, keyboards, mice, joysticks, scanners and printers, to personal computers. We believe that our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software technology achieve far-field microphone performance previously unattainable through microphones based on mechanical acoustic designs and microphones based on analog signal processing.

Our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products include the use of the following technologies, among other technologies and techniques:

Digital Super Directional Array (DSDA^®). Andrea’s patented DSDA adaptive beam forming system powers Andrea’s SuperBeam microphone which enables more intelligible audio by forming a beam toward the speaker and eliminating background noises that are outside of the beam. DSDA microphone technology enables high quality far-field communications by centering microphone sensitivity on a user’s voice and canceling noise outside of that signal. DSDA continuously samples the ever changing acoustic properties within an environment and adaptively identifies interfering noises that are extraneous to the voice signal, resulting in increased intelligibility of communications.

PureAudio^®. Andrea’s PureAudio patented and award winning noise reduction speech enhancement algorithm significantly improves intelligibility of voice audio and accuracy in speech driven applications, particularly in high noise environments. PureAudio is especially effective for use with speech recognition and mobile devices. PureAudio is a noise canceling algorithm that enhances applications that are controlled by speech by sampling the ambient noise in an environment and attenuating the noise from sources near or around the desired speech signals, thus delivering a clear audio signal. Designed specifically to improve the signal-to-noise ratio, PureAudio is effective in canceling stationary noises such as computer and ventilation fans, tires and engines.

EchoStop^®. Andrea’s patented EchoStop provides a full duplex acoustic echo cancellation algorithm enabling both speakers to broadcast and microphone to transmit simultaneously turning your PC into a high quality speakerphone. EchoStop is an advanced acoustic echo canceller (stereo version available) developed for use with conferencing systems such as group audio and videoconferencing systems and cellular car phone kits. EchoStop allows true two-way communication (often referred to as full duplex) over a conferencing system, even when the system is used in large spatial environments that may be vulnerable to extensive reverberation. EchoStop incorporates noise reduction algorithms to reduce the background noise of both the microphone input and the loudspeaker output, thus preventing the accumulation of interfering noise over conferencing systems that facilitate communication among multiple sites.

SuperBeam^™. SuperBeam is a highly accurate digital algorithm that forms an acoustic beam that extends from the microphone to the speech source in an environment. We believe SuperBeam provides a fixed noise reduction microphone solution for the typical acoustic environment found in room environments in which speech is used, such as in offices and homes. The microphone beam is generated by processing multiple microphone samples through pre-established digital filters and adding the outputs. The result is an optimum speech enhancement and noise reduction solution to a predefined setting. Because the beam is able to adapt to changes in the acoustic environment, this technology is called adaptive beamforming.

Andrea Anti-Noise Technologies

Noise Cancellation (“NC”) Microphone Technology. This technology is based on the use of pressure gradient microphones to reduce the transmission of noise from the speaker’s location. Instead of using electronic circuitry to reduce noise, pressure gradient microphones rely on their mechanical and acoustic design to do so. Our NC microphones are well-suited for applications in which there is less background noise in the speaker’s environment.

Active Noise Cancellation (“ANC”) Microphone Technology. This technology is based on analog signal processing circuits that electronically cancel the transmission of noise from the speaker’s location. ANC is particularly well-suited for those environments in which the speaker is surrounded by high levels of ambient background noise.

Our ANC and NC microphones are most effectively used in “near-field” applications where the microphone is next to the speaker’s mouth such as a headset environment.

Active Noise Reduction (“ANR”) Earphone Technology. This technology is based on analog signal processing circuits that electronically reduce the amount of noise in the environment that the listener would otherwise hear in the earphone. Our ANR earphones improve the quality of speech and audio heard by a listener in noisy environments, particularly those characterized by low frequency sounds, such as those in aircraft, machine rooms, factories, automobiles, trucks and other ground transportation equipment.

Our Products and their Markets and Applications

Our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products and Andrea Anti-Noise Products have been designed for applications that are controlled by or depend on speech across a broad range of hardware and software platforms. These products incorporate our DSP, NC, ANC and ANR microphone technologies, and are designed to cancel background noise in a range of noisy environments, such as homes, offices, factories and automobiles. We also manufacture a line of accessories for these products. For the consumer and commercial markets, we have designed our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products and Andrea Anti-Noise Products for the following applications:


	•	Speech recognition for word processing, database, and similar applications;

	•	Distance Learning (education through the use of Internet-based lessons and training information);

	•	Audio/videoconferencing;

	•	Internet telephony and Voice Chat;

	•	Cellular and other wireless telecommunications; and

	•	Telematics, or in-vehicle computing (the use of computer-controlled systems in automobiles and trucks)

We market and sell our products directly to end users through our website, computer product distributors, through value-added resellers, to original equipment manufacturers and to software publishers. For more information about these collaborative arrangements, please refer to the information under the caption “Our Collaborative Arrangements.”

Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products

We develop our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products primarily through customer-specific integration efforts, and we either license our related algorithms, sell a product incorporating our related algorithms, or both. For example, we have developed technologies that can be, or are, embedded into a PC, PC monitors, high-end videoconferencing units, IP telephony applications, automotive interiors and hand-held devices, among others. In addition, we have developed stand-alone products for specific customers who then sell such products to end users. As a result, such products are not available from us directly. However, as part of our strategy to increase sales to prospective customers desiring high-quality microphone performance for certain customer-specific environments, we have developed the following products that may be purchased directly from Andrea:

Andrea Superbeam Array Microphone. Andrea’s patented DSDA™ adaptive beam forming system powers Andrea’s SuperBeam Array Microphone which enables more intelligible audio by forming a beam toward the speaker and eliminating background noises that are outside of the beam. DSDA is particularly effective for small office/home office use, providing an untethered noise cancelling microphone experience while gaining all the benefits of a regular headset.

Andrea USB-SA External Digital Sound Card. Andrea’s PureAudio™ USB-SA with patented noise reduction technology eliminates noise problems by utilizing high quality digital circuitry and state of the art noise reduction algorithm software. This format bypasses the desktop or laptop computer’s sound system, providing increased intelligibility and performance of stereo microphone input and stereo speaker output for all of a user’s digital audio applications including VoIP and speech recognition programs.

Andrea AudioCommander™. Andrea’s PC Audio Control Panel, AudioCommander, includes a speaker volume adjustment with received PureAudio noise reduction control and a 10-band graphic equalizer with 18 built-in presets to customize sound for a user’s listening preference. It also includes a microphone volume adjustment with noise reduction, beam forming, and acoustic echo cancellation controls. The software also includes an audio wizard that sets microphone levels to optimize PC audio for speech-enabled applications including speech recognition, Internet telephony and command and speech control functions.

Andrea AutoArray™ Microphone (“AutoArray”). The AutoArray is a digital, high performance microphone system designed for computing applications in vehicles such as automobiles and trucks. It is the first super-directional audio input device designed specifically for in-vehicle computing. The AutoArray incorporates several technologies, including DSDA and PureAudio.

Andrea VoiceCenter™ (“VoiceCenter”). The VoiceCenter is a multi-functional, digital voice recorder software application that enables recorded speech files to be applied for productivity as well as expressing personality. The digital WAV recorded files are automatically labeled and can be compressed with WMA for attachment to e-mail, used as voice memos, voice alarms (with a calendar reminder function) and even add your voice annotation to documents. The VoiceCenter also includes Andrea PureAudio noise reduction/speech enhancement technology for increasing the recording sound quality of any microphone.

Andrea Anti-Noise Products

Our Andrea Anti-Noise Products include a line of headsets, handsets and related accessories that incorporate our NC, ANC and ANR technologies. Our headsets are mostly differentiated by the various designs of their headband, microphone boom and earphone components and are available in both single earphone monaural and dual earphone stereo models.

NC Products. Our NC products are sold through our internal contact center, as well as to original equipment manufacturers for incorporation into, or for use with their products. Our headsets are designed so you can get the most out of your PC audio experience. In addition, with our new USB headset products, Andrea has combined the benefits of PureAudio USB digital audio which includes Andrea’s complete PureAudio™ Voice Solutions Software Suite (including Audio Commander, Voice Center and Pure Audio Technology) with our noise cancelling PC headsets delivering a high fidelity audio experience with the highest voice recognition industry rating.

BlueTooth NC Products. Andrea Electronics is now offering our noise cancellation boom microphone technology in our BT-200 Bluetooth headset. This wireless headset solution enhances sound quality in noisy environments and provides the user with a PureAudio experience, as well as delivering superior speech dialing performance. As an added value, these products can be combined with a USB audio adapter that can be used to seamlessly communicate to a PC as well as with a cellular phone.

ANC Products. ANC Products are our premium close talking microphone platform for enhancing speech recognition applications. All of our ANC products are sold through our internal contact center. ANC headset products incorporate a dual microphone system design that optimizes the acoustic performance of the sound.

We have developed and manufactured a line of accessories for our Andrea Anti-Noise Products:

Andrea Personal Computer Telephone Interface (“PCTI”). The PCTI is a comprehensive desktop device that integrates computer applications controlled by speech and traditional telephony applications by connecting headset users to the telephone, to the computer, or to both simultaneously. Users can alternately or simultaneously conduct telephone conversations and use speech recognition to enter data or dictate into the PC, without having to pause or toggle between connectivity devices.

Our Collaborative Arrangements

An important element of our strategy is to promote widespread adoption of our products and technologies by collaborating with large enterprises and market and technology leaders in telecommunications, computer manufacturing, and software publishing. In addition to the arrangements we are involved in, we are currently discussing additional arrangements with other companies, but we cannot assure that any of these discussions will result in any definitive agreements.

Patents, Trademarks, and Other Intellectual Property Rights

We rely on a combination of patents, patent applications, trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, nondisclosure agreements, and contractual restrictions to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights. We cannot assure, however, that these measures will protect our intellectual property or prevent misappropriation or circumvention of our intellectual property.

Andrea maintains a number of patents in the United States covering claims to certain of its products and technology, which expire at various dates ranging from 2013 to 2025. We also have other patent applications currently pending; however, we cannot assure that patents will be issued with respect to these currently pending or future applications which we may file, nor can we assure that the strength or scope of our existing patents, or any new patents, will be of sufficient scope or strength or provide meaningful protection or commercial advantage to us.

Research and Development

We consider our technology to be of substantial importance to our competitiveness. To maintain this competitiveness, we have organized our research and development efforts using a “market and applications” approach for meeting the requirements of new and existing customers. Consistent with this approach, our engineering staff interacts closely with our sales and marketing personnel and directly with customers. The engineering staff is responsible for the research and development of new products and the improvement and support of existing products. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, total research and development expenses were $731,297 and $607,877, respectively. During 2011, we expect research and development expenses to remain at the same level when compared to 2010. We expect this will occur as a result of our overall plan to improve cash flows by containing our expenses. Additionally, most of Andrea’s core technology is already developed, and therefore, heightened emphasis will be placed on application engineering, sales and marketing activity and less emphasis will be placed on research and development. No assurance can be given that our research and development efforts will succeed. See “Part II – Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Sales and Marketing

We employ a sales staff as well as outside sales representatives and sales organizations to market our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products and our Andrea Anti-Noise Products. Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products and Andrea Anti-Noise Products are marketed to computer Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”), distributors of personal computers and telecommunications equipment, software publishers, and end-users in both business and household environments. These products are sold to end-users through distributors and value-added resellers, software publishers, Internet Service Providers and Internet Content Developers. Under our existing collaborative agreements, our collaborators have various marketing and sales rights to our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software and Andrea Anti-Noise Products. We are seeking to enter into additional collaborative arrangements for marketing and selling our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products and Andrea Anti-Noise Products, but we cannot assure that we will be successful in these efforts. Market acceptance of the Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products and Andrea Anti-Noise Products is critical to our success.

Production Operations

In 2010 and 2009, all of our assembly operations were performed with subcontractors in Asia or in the United States. Most of the components for the Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products and Andrea Anti-Noise Products are available from several sources and are not characteristically in short supply. However, certain specialized components, such as microphones and DSP boards, are available from a limited number of suppliers and subject to long lead times. To date, we have been able to obtain sufficient supplies of these more specialized components, but we cannot assure that we will continue to be able to do so. Shortages of, or interruptions in, the supply of these more specialized components could have a material adverse effect on our sales of Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products and Andrea Anti-Noise Products.

Competition

The markets for our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products and Andrea Anti-Noise Products are highly competitive. Competition in these markets is based on varying combinations of product features, quality and reliability of performance, price, sales, marketing and technical support, ease of use, compatibility with evolving industry standards and other systems and equipment, name recognition, and development of new products and enhancements. Most of our current and potential competitors in these markets have significantly greater financial, marketing, technical, and other resources than us. Consequently, these competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, or to devote greater resources to the development, marketing, and sale of their products than we can. We cannot assure that one or more of these competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology.

We believe that our ability to compete successfully will depend upon our ability to develop and maintain advanced technology, develop proprietary products, attract and retain qualified personnel, obtain patent or other proprietary protection for our products and technologies and manufacture, assemble and market products, either alone or through third parties, in a profitable manner.

Employees

At December 31, 2010, we had 20 employees, of whom 4 were engaged in production and related operations, 6 were engaged in research and development, and 10 were engaged in management, administration, sales and customer support duties. None of our employees are unionized or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that we generally enjoy good relations with our employees. In addition to our regular employees, we utilize 8 independent consultants (4 are sales representatives, 2 are engaged for administration purposes and 2 are engaged in research and development activities).

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our operating results are subject to significant fluctuation; period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not necessarily be meaningful and you should not rely on them as indications of our future performance.

Our results of operations have historically been and are subject to continued substantial annual and quarterly fluctuations. The causes of these fluctuations include, among other things:


	•	the volume of sales of our products under our collaborative marketing arrangements;

	•	the cost of development of our products;

	•	the mix of products we sell;

	•	the mix of distribution channels we use;

	•	the timing of our new product releases and those of our competitors;


	•	fluctuations in the computer and communications hardware and software marketplace; and

	•	general economic conditions.

We cannot assure that the level of revenues and gross profit, if any, that we achieve in any particular fiscal period will not be significantly lower than in other fiscal periods. Our net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were approximately $4.9 million and $4.7 million, respectively. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 was approximately $78,000, or $0.00 per share on a basic and diluted basis, versus a net loss of approximately $167,000, or $0.00 per share on a basic and diluted basis for the year ended December 31, 2009. We continue to explore opportunities to grow sales in other business areas; we are also examining additional opportunities for cost reduction, production efficiencies and further diversification of our business.

If we fail to maintain access to funds sufficient to meet our operating needs, we may be required to significantly reduce, sell, or refocus our operations, and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely effected.

In order to be a viable entity we need to maintain and increase profitable operations. To continue to achieve profitable operations we need to maintain or increase current net revenues and continue to look for ways to control expenses. We might also need to sell additional assets or raise capital as a means of funding continued operations. In recent years, we have sustained significant operating losses. We may have to raise additional capital from external sources. These sources may include private or public financings through the issuance of debt, convertible debt or equity, or collaborative arrangements. Such additional capital and funding may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. Additionally, we may only be able to obtain additional capital or funds through arrangements that require us to relinquish rights to our products, technologies or potential markets, in whole or in part, or result in our sale. As a result of the past few years of performance, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity to continue our operations at least through December 2011, provided our net revenues do not decline and our operating expenses do not increase. Although we are always attempting to reduce or limit our expenses and capital expenditures, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in generating positive cash flows or obtaining access to additional sources of funding in amounts necessary to continue our operations. Failure to maintain sufficient access to funding may also result in our inability to continue operations.

Shares Eligible For Future Sale May Have An Adverse Effect On Market Price; Andrea Shareholders May Experience Substantial Dilution.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could have the effect of depressing the prevailing market price of our common stock. Of the 200,000,000 shares of common stock presently authorized, 63,721,035 were outstanding as of March 15, 2011. The number of shares outstanding does not include an aggregate of 27,806,991 shares of common stock that are issuable. This number of issuable common shares is equal to approximately 44% of the 63, 721,035 outstanding shares. These issuable common shares are comprised of: a) 17,940,821 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding awards granted under our 1998 Stock Plan and 2006 Stock Plan; b) 4,213,936 shares reserved for future grants under our 2006 Stock Plan; c) 2,023,658 shares of common stock that are issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock; and d) 3,628,576 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock.

Conversions of our Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and related warrants may result in substantial dilution to other holders of our common stock.

As of March 15, 2011, we had 44.231432 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 907,144 shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding. The issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock is limited to that amount which, after giving effect to the conversion, would cause the holder not to beneficially own in excess of 4.99% or, together with other shares beneficially owned during the 60 day period prior to such conversion, not to beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock. The issuance of common stock upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock and the related warrants also is limited to that amount which, after giving effect to the conversion, would cause the holder not to beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, except that each holder has a right to terminate such limitation upon 61 days notice to us. Beneficial ownership for purposes of calculation of such percentage limitations does not include shares whose acquisition is subject to similar limitations. If all shares of the Series C and Series D Preferred Stock, which are outstanding to be issued, are assumed to be converted into or exercised for shares of common stock, the number of new shares of common stock required to be issued as a result would aggregate 5,652,234 shares, which is equal to approximately 9% of the 63,721,035 outstanding shares.

Short sales of our common stock may be attracted by or accompany conversions of Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, which sales may cause downward pressure upon the price of our common stock.

Short sales of our common stock may be attracted by or accompany the sale of converted common stock, which in the aggregate could cause downward pressure upon the price of the common stock, regardless of our operating results, thereby attracting additional short sales of the common stock.

If we fail to commercialize and fully market our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software products, or continue to develop, and not fully market, Andrea Anti-Noise Headset products, our net revenues may not increase at a high enough rate to improve our results of operations or may not increase at all.

Our business, results of operations and financial condition depend on the successful commercialization of our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software products and technologies and continued development of our Andrea Anti-Noise Headset products. We introduced our first Andrea DSP Microphone products in 1998 and we continued to introduce complementary products and technologies over the last several years. For both product lines, we primarily target the desktop computer market, the audio and video conferencing markets and the market for in-vehicle computing, among others. The success of these products is subject to the risks frequently encountered by companies in an early stage of product commercialization, particularly companies in the computing and communications industries.

If we are unable to obtain market acceptance of Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software products and technologies, or if market acceptance of these products and technologies occurs at a slow rate, then our business, results of operations and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.

We, and our competitors, are focused on developing and commercializing products and technologies that enhance the use of voice, particularly in noisy environments, for a broad range of computer and communications applications. These products and technologies have been rapidly evolving and the number of our competitors has grown, but the markets for these products and technologies are subject to a high level of uncertainty and have been developing slowly. We, alone or together with our industry, may be unsuccessful in obtaining market acceptance of these products and technologies.

If we fail to develop and successfully introduce new products and technologies in response to competition and evolving technology, we may not be able to attract new customers or retain current customers.

The markets in which we sell our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software and Andrea Anti-Noise Headset products are highly competitive. We may not compete successfully with any of our competitors. Most of our current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technology, research and development, marketing, technical support and other resources than we do. Consequently, these competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, or devote greater resources to the development, marketing, and sale of their products than we can. One or more of these competitors may independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology. The introduction of products incorporating new technologies could render our products obsolete and unmarketable and could exert price pressures on existing products.

We are currently engaged in the development of digital signal processing products and technologies for the voice, speech and natural language interface markets. We may not succeed in developing these new digital signal processing products and technologies, and any of these new digital signal processing products or technologies may not gain market acceptance.

Further, the markets for our products and technologies are characterized by evolving industry and government standards and specifications that may require us to devote substantial time and expense to adapt our products and technologies. For example, certain of our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software and Andrea Anti-Noise Headset products are subject to the Federal Communications Commission requirements. We may not successfully anticipate and adapt our products and technologies in a cost effective and timely manner to changes in technology and industry standards or to introductions of new products and technologies by others that render our then existing products and technologies obsolete.

If our marketing collaborators do not effectively market their products that include or incorporate our products, our sales growth will be adversely affected.

We have entered into collaborative and distribution arrangements with software publishers and computer hardware manufacturers relating to the marketing and sale of Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software products through inclusion or incorporation with the products of our collaborators. Our success is dependent to a substantial degree on the efforts of these collaborators to market their products that include or incorporate our products. Our collaborators may not successfully market these products. In addition, our collaborators generally are not contractually obligated to any minimum level of sales of our products or technologies, and we have no control over their marketing efforts. Furthermore, our collaborators may develop their own microphone, earphone or headset products that may replace our products or technologies or to which they may give higher priority.

Shortages of, or interruptions in, the supply of more specialized components for our products could have a material adverse effect on our sales of these products.

The majority of our assembly operations are fulfilled by subcontractors (primarily in the Far East) using purchased components. Some specialized components for the Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software products and Andrea Anti-Noise products, such as microphones and digital signal processing boards, are available from a limited number of suppliers (and in some cases foreign) and

subject to long lead times. We may not be able to continue to obtain sufficient supplies of these more specialized components, particularly if the sales of our products increase substantially or market demand for these components otherwise increases. If our subcontractors fail to meet our production and shipment schedules, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.

The Company depends on component and product manufacturing and logistical services provided by third parties, many of whom are located outside of the United States.

Substantially all of the Company’s components and products are manufactured in whole or in part by a few third-party manufacturers. Many of these manufacturers are located outside of the United States. The Company has also outsourced much of its transportation and logistics management. While these arrangements may lower operating costs, they also reduce the Company’s direct control over production and distribution. It is uncertain what effect such diminished control will have on the quality or quantity of products or the Company’s flexibility to respond to changing conditions. If manufacturing or logistics in these locations is disrupted for any reason, including but not limited to, natural disasters, information technology system failures, military actions or economic, business, labor, environmental, public health, or political issues, the Company’s consolidated financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected.

Our ability to compete may be limited by our failure to adequately protect our intellectual property or by patents granted to third parties.

We rely on a combination of patents, patent applications, trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, and nondisclosure agreements with our employees, independent contractors, licensees and potential licensees, limited access to and dissemination of our proprietary information, and other measures to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights. However, the steps that we have taken to protect our intellectual property may not prevent its misappropriation or circumvention. In addition, numerous patents have been granted to other parties in the fields of noise cancellation, noise reduction, computer voice recognition, digital signal processing and related subject matter. We expect that products in these fields will increasingly be subject to claims under these patents as the numbers of products and competitors in these fields grow and the functionality of products overlap. Claims of this type could have an adverse effect on our ability to manufacture and market our products or to develop new products and technologies, because the parties holding these patents may refuse to grant licenses or only grant licenses with onerous royalty requirements. Moreover, the laws of other countries do not protect our proprietary rights to our technologies to the same extent as the laws of the United States.

An unfavorable ruling in any current litigation proceeding or future proceeding may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

From time to time we are subject to litigation incidental to our business. For example, we are subject to the risk of adverse claims, interference proceedings before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, oppositions to patent applications outside the United States, and litigation alleging infringement of the proprietary rights of others. Litigation to establish the validity of patents, to assert infringement claims against others, and to defend against patent infringement claims can be expensive and time-consuming, even if the outcome is in our favor.

Changes in economic and political conditions outside the United States could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We generate revenues from regions outside the United States. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, net revenues from sales to customers outside the United States accounted for approximately15% and 8%, respectively, of our net sales. International sales and operations are subject to a number of risks, including:


	•	trade restrictions in the form of license requirements;

	•	restrictions on exports and imports and other government controls;

	•	changes in tariffs and taxes;

	•	difficulties in staffing and managing international operations;

	•	problems in establishing and managing distributor relationships;

	•	general economic conditions; and

	•	political and economic instability or conflict.

To date, we have invoiced our international revenues in U.S. dollars, and have not engaged in any foreign exchange or hedging transactions. We may not be able to continue to invoice all of our revenues in U.S. dollars in order to avoid engaging in foreign exchange or hedging transactions. If we are required to invoice any material amount of international revenues in non-U.S. currencies, fluctuations in the value of non-U.S. currencies relative to the U.S. dollar may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition or require us to incur hedging costs to counter such fluctuations.

If we are unable to attract and retain the necessary managerial, technical and other personnel necessary for our business, then our business, results of operations and financial condition will be harmed.

Our performance is substantially dependent on the performance of our executive officers and key employees. The loss of the services of any of these executive officers or key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our future success depends on our continuing ability to attract and retain highly qualified managers and technical personnel. Competition for qualified personnel is intense and we may not be able to attract, assimilate or retain qualified personnel in the future.

Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has required substantial financial and management resources and may result in additional expenses, which, as a smaller public company, may be disproportionately high.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 required that we evaluate and report on our system of internal controls beginning as of December 31, 2008. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny, civil or criminal penalties and/or shareholder litigation. Any inability to provide reliable financial reports could harm our business. The documentation and further development of our internal controls to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has been a notable expense in this year and will continue to be an expense in the future. Additionally, we devoted a significant amount of our time to ensure that we are compliant with Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Furthermore, any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in the implementation of adequate controls over our new or revised financial processes and reporting in the future, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations which will require us to continue to devote a large amount of our general and administrative employees’ time to the continued compliance. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Andrea has a lease for its corporate headquarters, which is located in Bohemia, New York. The lease, which currently expires in April 2015, is for approximately 11,000 square feet of leased space, which houses our production operations, research and development activities, sales, administration and executive offices. We believe that we maintain our machinery, equipment and tooling in good operating condition and that these assets are adequate for our current business and are adequately insured.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Our mission is to provide the emerging “voice interface” markets with state-of-the-art communications products that facilitate natural language, human/machine interfaces.

Examples of the applications and interfaces for which Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products and Andrea Anti-Noise Products provide benefits include: Internet and other computer-based speech; telephony communications; multi-point conferencing; speech recognition; multimedia; multi-player Internet and CD ROM interactive games; and other applications and interfaces that incorporate natural language processing. We believe that end users of these applications and interfaces will require high quality microphone and earphone products that enhance voice transmission, particularly in noisy environments, for use with personal computers, mobile personal computing devices, cellular and other wireless communication devices and automotive communication systems. Our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products use “far-field” digital signal processing technology to provide high quality transmission of voice where the user is at a distance from the microphone. High quality audio communication technologies will be required for emerging far-field voice applications, ranging from continuous speech dictation, to Internet telephony and multiparty video teleconferencing and collaboration, to natural language-driven interfaces for automobiles, home and office automation and other machines and devices into which voice-controlled microprocessors are expected to be introduced during the next several years.

Our Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements and the notes to our consolidated financial statements contain information that is pertinent to management’s discussion and analysis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities and determination of revenues and expenses in the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. On a continual basis, management reviews its estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results may vary from these estimates and assumptions under different and/or future circumstances. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if: 1) it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made; and 2) changes in the estimate, or the use of different estimating methods that could have been selected and could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

The following critical accounting policies that affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements have been identified. In addition to the recording and presentation of our convertible preferred stock, we believe that the following are some of the more critical judgment areas in the application of our accounting policies that affect our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. We have discussed the application of these critical accounting policies with our Audit Committee. The following critical accounting policies are not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of the Company’s accounting policies or estimates.

Revenue Recognition – Non software-related revenue, which is generally comprised of microphones and microphone connectivity product revenues, is recognized when title and risk of loss pass to the customer, which is generally upon shipment. With respect to licensing revenues, Andrea recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification” (the “ASC”) 985, “Software” and ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition.” License revenue is recognized based on the terms and conditions of individual contracts (for example, see Note 9 of our consolidated financial statements). In addition, fee based services, which are short-term in nature, are generally performed on a time-and-material basis under separate service arrangements and the corresponding revenue is generally recognized as the services are performed.

Accounts Receivable – We are required to estimate the collectibility of our trade receivables. Judgment is required in assessing the realization of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness of each customer and related aging of the past due balances. We evaluate specific accounts when we become aware of a situation where a customer may not be able to meet its financial obligations

due to deterioration of its financial viability, credit ratings or bankruptcy. The reserve requirements are based on the best facts available to us and are reevaluated and adjusted as additional information is received. Our reserves are also determined by using percentages applied to certain aged receivable categories. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, our allowance for doubtful accounts were $11,442 and $6,262, respectively.

Inventory – We are required to state our inventories at the lower of cost or market. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, we are required to make considerable judgments as to future demand requirements and compare that with our current inventory levels. Our reserve requirements generally increase as our projected demand requirements decrease due to market conditions, technological and product life cycle changes as well as longer than previously expected usage periods. We have evaluated the current levels of inventories, considering historical net revenues and other factors and, based on this evaluation, recorded adjustments to cost of revenues to adjust inventories to net realizable value. Inventories of $773,674 and $842,428 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, are net of reserves of $678,251 and $653,008, respectively. It is possible that additional charges to inventory may occur in the future if there are further declines in market conditions, or if additional restructuring actions are taken.

Long Lived Assets – ASC 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”) requires management judgments regarding the future operating and disposition plans for marginally performing assets, and estimates of expected realizable values for assets to be sold. Andrea accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360 for purposes of determining and measuring impairment of its other intangible assets. Andrea’s policy is to periodically review the value assigned to its long lived assets to determine if they have been permanently impaired by adverse conditions which may affect Andrea. If required, an impairment charge would be recorded based on an estimate of future discounted cash flows. In order to test for recoverability, Andrea compared the sum of undiscounted cash flow projections (gross margin dollars from product sales) of the Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software core technology to the carrying value of that technology. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate undiscounted future operating cash flows and fair values and, accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates. No impairment charges were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Deferred Tax Assets – We currently have significant deferred tax assets. ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), requires a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. Furthermore, ASC 740 provides that it is difficult to conclude that a valuation allowance is not needed when there is negative evidence such as cumulative losses in recent years. Therefore, cumulative losses weigh heavily in the overall assessment. Accordingly, and after considering changes in previously existing positive evidence, we reduced our valuation allowance by approximately $174,000 and $143,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In addition, we will reduce our valuation in future periods to the extent that we can demonstrate our ability to utilize the assets. The future realization of a portion of our reserved deferred tax assets related to tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options, if and when realized, will not result in a tax benefit in the consolidated statement of operations, but rather will result in an increase in additional paid in capital. We will continue to re-assess our reserves on deferred income tax assets in future periods on a quarterly basis.

Contingencies - We are subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims, including proceedings under laws and government regulations related to securities, environmental, labor, product and other matters. We are required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters, as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of reserves required, if any, for these contingencies is based on an analysis of each individual issue with the assistance of legal counsel. The amount of any reserves may change in the future due to new developments in each matter.

The impact of changes in the estimates and judgments pertaining to revenue recognition, receivables and inventories is directly reflected in our segments’ loss from operations. Although any charges related to our deferred tax provision are not reflected in our segment results, the long-term forecasts supporting the realization of those assets and changes in them are significantly affected by the actual and expected results of each segment.

Total Revenues	$	4,915,513	$	4,695,689		—


(a)	The decrease of revenues of Andrea Anti-Noise Products is directly related to a speech recognition software OEM’s decreased demand for our products. We believe this decreased demand is associated with the OEM’s decision to select a lesser quality headset with their new software update during the year ended 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009.

(b)	The decrease of approximately $290,000 in sales of customized products to OEM customers for use with educational software is the result of decreased purchases from these customers.

(c)	The decrease in revenues related to blinking LED earbud products are primarily associated with initial sales of a custom retail product for an OEM customer in 2009. No sales were made in 2010 and Andrea does not expect any further sales of this product.

(d)	The increase of approximately $415,000 in all other Andrea Anti-Noise net product revenues for 2010 as compared to 2009 is related to increased demand from distributor and reseller customers who sell both to distance learning customers and speech recognition end users.

(e)	The increase of approximately $538,000 for 2010 as compared to 2009 relate to increased sales of automotive array microphone products to integrators of public safety vehicle solutions.

(f)	The decrease of approximately $52,000 for 2010 as compared to 2009 in all other Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software product revenues is related to change in demand from our distance learning, distributor and reseller customers who sell both to distance learning customers and speech recognition end users.

(g)	The 39% increase in licensing revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010 is related to an increase in sales of PC models which feature our technology.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010 decreased to 37% from 45% for the year ended December 31, 2009. The cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010 for Andrea Anti-Noise Products was 55% as compared to 60% for the year ended December 31, 2009. The cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010 for Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products was 18% compared to 13% for the year ended December 31, 2009. The changes are primarily the result of the changes in revenue as described under “Net

Revenues” above. Specifically, the decrease in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues for the Andrea Anti-Noise Products is a result of a decrease in high volume low margin sales of products to an OEM customer for use with speech recognition software. The increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues for the Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software relates to increased product sales of automotive array microphone products to integrators of public safety vehicle solutions The overall decrease in cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues is a result of a decrease in high volume low margin sales of products and increased license revenues.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased by 20% to $731,297 from $607,877 for the year ended December 31, 2009. This increase primarily relates to the increases in employee compensation and related benefit costs as well as increases in cost associated with the development of new products. For the year ended December 31, 2010, research and development expenses reflected a 25% increase in our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Technology efforts to $402,402, or 55% of total research and development expenses and an increase in our Andrea Anti-Noise Headset Product efforts to $328,895, or 45% of total research and development expenses. With respect to DSP Microphone and Audio Software technologies, research efforts are primarily focused on the pursuit of commercializing a natural language-driven human/machine interface by developing optimal far-field microphone solutions for various voice-driven interfaces, incorporating Andrea’s digital super directional array microphone technology, and certain other related technologies such as noise suppression and stereo acoustic echo cancellation. We believe that continued research and development spending should provide Andrea with a competitive advantage.

General, Administrative and Selling Expenses

General, administrative and selling expenses increased by approximately 9% to $2,487,620 for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $2,286,332 for the year ended December 31, 2009. This increase is related to increases in employee compensation and related benefit costs as well as increases in promotional and marketing expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the increase reflects a 4% decrease in our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Technology efforts to $1,100,193, or 44% of total general, administrative and selling expenses and a 21% increase in our Andrea Anti-Noise Headset Product efforts to $1,387,427, or 56% of total general, administrative and selling expenses.

Interest Income, net

Interest income, net for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $5,382 compared to interest income, net of $13,930 for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Benefit for Income Taxes

The income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $30,514, compared to an income tax benefit of $141,210 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The income tax benefit is primarily the result of a reduction in the valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets.

Net loss

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $77,519 compared to a net loss $166,698 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 principally reflects the factors described above.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its consolidated financial condition, changes in consolidated financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Liquidity And Capital Resources

Our principal sources of funds currently are and are expected to continue to be gross cash flows from operations. At December 31, 2010, we had cash of $2,220,994 compared with $1,805,091 at December 31, 2009. The balance of cash at December 31, 2010 is primarily a result of our cash provided from operations during the year ended December 31, 2010.

Our working capital balance at December 31, 2010 was $3,039,308 compared to a working capital of $2,718,077 at December 31, 2009. The increase in working capital reflects an increase in total current assets of $234,503 and a decrease in total current liabilities of $86,728. The increase in total current assets reflects an increase in cash of $415,903, a decrease in accounts receivable of $9,195, a decrease in inventory of $68,754, a decrease in short term customer deposits of 13,536, a decrease in deferred income tax assets of $120,130, and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $30,215. The decrease in total current liabilities reflects a decrease in trade accounts payable of $88,930, an increase in the current portion in long-term debt of $5,054, a decrease in short-term deferred revenue of $13,536, a decrease in accrued interest of $6,685 and an increase of $17,369 in other current liabilities.

The increase in cash of $415,903 reflects $616,856 of net cash provided by operating activities, $119,626 of net cash used by investing activities and $81,327 of cash used by financing activities.

The cash provided by operating activities of $616,856, excluding non-cash charges, is primarily attributable to the $77,519 net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010, a $4,015 decrease in accounts receivable, a $43,511 decrease in inventory, a $13,536 decrease in short term customer deposits, a $30,215 increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, a $88,930 decrease in accounts payable, a $13,536 decrease in short-term deferred revenue and an increase of $17,369 in other current liabilities. The changes in receivables, inventory and accounts payable primarily reflect differences in the timing related to both the payments for and the acquisition of inventory as well as for other services in connection with ongoing efforts related to Andrea’s various product lines.

The cash used by investing activities of $119,626 reflects purchases of property and equipment of $99,808 and an increase in patents and trademarks of $19,818. The significant increase in property and equipment reflects capital expenditures associated with information technology purchases including and, to a lesser extent, molds associated with our Andrea Anti-Noise Headset Products. The increase in patents and trademarks reflects capital expenditures associated with our intellectual property.

The cash used by financing activities of $81,327, reflects payments made on a loan from HSBC. We obtained this loan to finance a significant upgrade to our information technologies systems.

We plan to continue to improve our cash flows in 2011 by aggressively pursuing additional licensing opportunities related to our Andrea DSP Audio Software and increasing the sales of our Andrea Anti-Noise Headset Products through the introduction of new products as well as the increased efforts we are putting into our sales and marketing efforts. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully execute the aforementioned plans. As of March 15, 2011, Andrea has approximately $2,300,000 of cash deposits. To the extent that we do not generate sufficient cash flows from our operations in the next twelve months, additional financing might be required. Although we have improved cash flows by reducing overall expenses, if our revenues decline, these reductions may impede our ability to be cash flow positive and our net income or loss may be disproportionately affected. We have no commitment for additional financing and may experience difficulty in obtaining additional financing on favorable terms, if at all. Any financing we obtain may contain covenants that restrict our freedom to operate our business or may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock and may dilute our current shareholders’ ownership interest in Andrea. We cannot assure that demand will continue for any of our products, including future products related to our Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software technologies, or, that if such demand does exist, that we will be able to obtain the necessary working capital to increase production and provide marketing resources to meet such demand on favorable terms, or at all.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of the impact of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Market Risk

Historically, our principal source of financing activities had been the issuance of convertible preferred stock with financial institutions. We are affected by market risk exposure primarily through any amounts payable in stock, or cash by us under convertible securities. We do not utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge against changes in interest rates or for any other purpose. In addition, substantially all transactions entered into by us are denominated in U.S. dollars. As such, we have shifted foreign currency exposure onto our foreign customers. As a result, if exchange rates move against foreign customers, we could experience difficulty collecting unsecured accounts receivable, the cancellation of existing orders or the loss of future orders. The foregoing could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If Ms. Guiffre is terminated following a change in control, the Company will pay Ms. Guiffre a sum equal to three times Ms. Guiffre’s average annual compensation for the five preceding taxable years. All restrictions on any restricted stock will lapse immediately and incentive stock options and stock appreciation rights, if any, will become immediately exercisable in the event of a change in control. Upon the occurrence of a change in control followed by Ms. Guiffre’s termination of employment, the Company will cause to be continued life, medical, dental and disability coverage.

Pre-Approval of Services by the Independent Auditor

The Audit Committee has adopted a policy for pre-approval of audit and permitted non-audit services by the Company’s independent auditor.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The internal control process has been designed under our supervision to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, utilizing the framework established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 is effective.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, transactions and dispositions of assets; and provide reasonable assurances that: (1) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; (2) receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and (3) unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements are prevented or timely detected.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to consolidated financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Andrea Electronics Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Andrea Electronics Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Andrea Electronics Corporation and Subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

DECEMBER 31, 2010

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Andrea Electronics Corporation, incorporated in the State of New York in 1934, (together with its subsidiaries, “Andrea” or the “Company”) has been engaged in the electronic communications industry since its inception. Since the early 1990s, Andrea has been primarily focused on developing and manufacturing state-of-the-art microphone technologies and products for enhancing speech-based applications software and communications, primarily in the computer and business enterprise markets that require high quality, clear voice signals. Andrea’s technologies eliminate unwanted background noise to enable the optimum performance of various speech-based and audio applications. Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products and Andrea Anti-Noise Products have been designed for applications that are controlled by or depend on speech across a broad range of hardware and software platforms. These products incorporate Digital Signal Processing, Noise Cancellation, Active Noise Cancellation and Active Noise Reduction microphone technologies, and are designed to cancel background noise in a wide range of noisy environments, such as homes, offices, factories and automobiles. Andrea also manufactures a line of accessories for these products for the consumer and commercial markets in the United States as well as in Europe and Asia.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

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

(Loss) earnings Per Share

Basic (loss) earnings per share is computed by dividing the net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted (loss) earnings adjusts basic (loss) earnings per share for the effects of convertible securities, stock options and other potentially dilutive financial instruments, only in the periods in which such effect is dilutive. Securities that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share (“EPS”) in the future that were not included in the computation of the diluted EPS because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented, consist of the following:


	December 31,		December 31,
Total potentially dilutive common shares as of:	2010		2009

Options to purchase common stock (Note 13)		17,940,821		16,141,821
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and related accrued dividends (Note 7)		2,023,658		2,206,664
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and related warrants (Note 8)		3,628,576		3,628,576

Total potentially dilutive common shares		23,593,055		21,977,061

Cash

Cash includes cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. At times during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company has cash deposits in excess of the maximum amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. At December 31, 2010, the Company’s cash is held at three financial institutions.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The following customers accounted for 10% or more of Andrea’s consolidated net revenues during at least one of the periods presented below:


	December 31,

	2010			2009

Customer A		25	%		20	%
Customer B			*		11	%



	* Amounts are less than 10%

As of December 31, 2010, Customer A accounted for approximately 53% of accounts receivable and as of December 31, 2009, Customer B accounted for approximately 55% of accounts receivable.

F-7

ANDREA ELECTRONICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2010

The following suppliers accounted for 10% or more of Andrea’s purchases during the periods presented below:


	December 31,

	2010			2009

Supplier A		75	%		96	%
Supplier B		20	%		*



	* Amounts are less than 10%

At December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, Supplier A accounted for approximately $170,000 or 56% and $248,000 or 63%, respectively of accounts payable, respectively.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by the review of their current credit information. Collections and payments from customers are continuously monitored. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon historical experience as well as specific customer collection issues that have been identified. While such bad debt expenses have historically been within expectations and allowances established, the Company cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that it has in the past. If the financial condition of customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out) or market basis. The cost of inventory is based on the respective cost of materials. Andrea reviews its inventory reserve for obsolescence on a quarterly basis and establishes reserves on inventories based on the specific identification method as well as a general reserve. Andrea records charges in inventory reserves as part of cost of revenues.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lives of the respective leases or the expected useful lives of those improvements.

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs that do not materially prolong the normal useful life of an asset are charged to operations as incurred. Improvements that substantially extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in the statement of operations.

Other Intangible Assets

Andrea amortizes its core technology and patents and trademarks on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives that range from 15 to 17 years.

Long-Lived Assets

Andrea accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 360 “Plant, Property and Equipment, “for purposes of determining and measuring impairment of its long-lived assets (primarily intangible assets) other than goodwill. Andrea’s policy is to review the value assigned to its long lived assets to determine if they have been permanently impaired by adverse conditions which may affect Andrea whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If Andrea identifies a permanent impairment such that the carrying amount of Andrea’s long lived assets is not recoverable using the sum of an undiscounted cash flow projection (gross margin dollars from product sales), the impaired asset is adjusted to its estimated fair value, based on an estimate of future discounted cash flows which becomes the new cost basis for the impaired asset. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate undiscounted future operating cash flows and fair values and, accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates. No impairment charges were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

ANDREA ELECTRONICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2010

Revenue Recognition

Non software-related revenue, which is generally comprised of microphones and microphone connectivity product revenues, is recognized when title and risk of loss pass to the customer, which is generally upon shipment. With respect to licensing revenues, Andrea recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 985, “Software” and ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition.” License revenue is recognized based on the terms and conditions of individual contracts. In addition, fee based services, which are short-term in nature, are generally performed on a time-and-material basis under separate service arrangements and the corresponding revenue is generally recognized as the services are performed.

Income Taxes

Andrea accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes and establishes for all entities a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of tax positions, and requires certain expanded disclosures. The provision for income taxes is based upon income or loss after adjustment for those permanent items that are not considered in the determination of taxable income. Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, and after considering changes in previously existing positive evidence, the Company reduced its valuation allowance to recognize a deferred tax asset of approximately $174,000 and $143,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In addition, Andrea expects it will reduce its valuation in future periods to the extent that it can demonstrate its ability to utilize the assets. Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary. Income tax expense consists of the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company has identified its federal tax return and its state tax return in New York as “major” tax jurisdictions. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s evaluation was performed for tax years ended 2007 through 2010. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to its consolidated financial position.

Stock-Based Compensation

At December 31, 2010, Andrea had two stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 13. Andrea accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of ASC 718, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The fair value of the Company’s common stock options are estimated using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected volatility, dividend rate, risk free interest rate and the expected life. The Company expenses stock-based compensation by using the straight-line method. In accordance with ASC 718, excess tax benefits realized from the exercise of stock-based awards are classified in cash flows from financing activities. The future realization of the reserved deferred tax assets related to these tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options will result in a credit to additional paid in capital if the related tax deduction reduces taxes payable. The Company has elected the “with and without approach” regarding ordering of windfall tax benefits to determine whether the windfall tax benefit did reduce taxes payable in the current year. Under this approach, the windfall tax benefit would be recognized in additional paid-in-capital only if an incremental tax benefit is realized after considering all other benefits presently available.

Research and Development

Andrea expenses all research and development costs as incurred.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Andrea incurs shipping and handling costs in its operations. These costs are included in “Cost of revenues” in the consolidated statements of operations. $83,313 and $98,696 were billed to customers and are included in net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Advertising Expenses

In accordance with ASC 720 all media costs of newspaper and magazine advertisements as well as trade show costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising and marketing expenses for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $62,766 and $16,880, respectively and are included in general, administrative and selling expenses.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 applies to all assets and liabilities that are measured and reported on a fair value basis.

The Company will apply the provisions of ASC 820 to nonfinancial assets and liabilities. Andrea calculates the fair value of financial instruments and includes this additional information in the notes to consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the book value of those financial instruments. When the book value approximates fair value, no additional disclosure is made. Andrea uses quoted market prices whenever available to calculate these fair values. When quoted market prices are not available, Andrea uses standard pricing models for various types of financial instruments which take into account the present value of estimated future cash flows. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the carrying value of all financial instruments approximated fair value.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-17, Revenue Recognition— Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition.This standard provides that the milestone method is a valid application of the proportional performance model for revenue recognition if the milestones are substantive and there is substantive uncertainty about whether the milestones will be achieved. Determining whether a milestone is substantive requires judgment that should be made at the inception of the arrangement. To meet the definition of a substantive milestone, the consideration earned by achieving the milestone (1) would have to be commensurate with either the level of effort required to achieve the milestone or the enhancement in the value of the item delivered, (2) would have to relate solely to past performance, and (3) should be reasonable relative to all deliverables and payment terms in the arrangement. No bifurcation of an individual milestone is allowed and there can be more than one milestone in an arrangement. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, “Subsequent Events (Topic 855) - Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements.” ASU 2010-09 requires an entity that is an SEC filer to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued and removes the requirement that an SEC filer disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. ASC 2010-09 was effective upon issuance. The adoption of this standard had no effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This ASU requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. ASU 2010-06 amends Codification Subtopic 820-10 and now requires a reporting entity to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities and to provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, As this standard relates specifically to disclosures, the adoption will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The most significant estimates, among other things, are used in accounting for allowances for bad debts, inventory valuation and obsolescence, product warranty, depreciation, deferred income taxes, expected realizable values for assets (primarily intangible assets), contingencies, revenue recognition as well as the recording and presentation of the Company’s

convertible preferred stock. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of any material revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates events that occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. Based upon the evaluation, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

Andrea accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment” for purposes of determining and measuring impairment of its long-lived assets (primarily intangible assets) other than goodwill. Andrea’s policy is to periodically review the value assigned to its long-lived assets to determine if they have been permanently impaired by adverse conditions which may affect Andrea. If Andrea identifies a permanent impairment such that the carrying amount of Andrea’s long lived assets are not recoverable using the sum of an undiscounted cash flow projection (gross margin dollars from product revenues), a new cost basis for the impaired asset will be established. If required, an impairment charge is recorded based on an estimate of future discounted cash flows. This new cost basis will be net of any recorded impairment. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, Andrea concluded that the Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio Software Products business segment was not required to be tested for recoverability.

Amortization expense was $477,462 and $476,538 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Amortization of core technology is expected to be approximately $441,421 per year for the next three years. Trademarks and patents are amortized on a straight-line basis over 17 years. Assuming no changes in the Company’s intangible assets, estimated amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years ending December 31 is expected to be approximately $478,125, $478,125, $478,125, $36,704 and $36,704 per year.

7. SERIES C CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

On October 10, 2000, Andrea issued and sold in a private placement $7,500,000 of Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”). Each of these shares of Series C Preferred Stock had a stated value of $10,000 plus a $1,671 increase in the stated value, which sum is convertible into Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.2551. On February 17, 2004, Andrea announced that it had entered into an Exchange and Termination Agreement and an Acknowledgment and Waiver Agreement, which eliminated the dividend of 5% per annum on the stated value. The additional amount of $1,671 represents the 5% per annum from October 10, 2000 through February 17, 2004. The shares of Series C Preferred Stock are subject to antidilution provisions, which are triggered in the event of certain stock splits, recapitalizations, or other dilutive transactions. In addition, issuances of common stock at a price below the conversion price then in effect (currently $0.2551), or the issuance of warrants, options, rights, or convertible securities which have an exercise price or conversion price less than that conversion price, other than for certain previously outstanding securities and certain “excluded securities” (as defined in the certificate of amendment), require the adjustment of the conversion price to that lower price at which shares of common stock have been issued or may be acquired. In the event that Andrea issues securities in the future which have a conversion price or exercise price which varies with the market price and the terms of such variable price are more favorable than the conversion price in the Series C Preferred Stock, the purchasers may elect to substitute the more favorable variable price when making conversions of the Series C Preferred Stock.

In accordance with Sub Topic 815-40, Andrea evaluated the Series C Preferred Stock and concluded that it is not indexed to the Company’s stock because of the conversion price adjustment feature described above. Accordingly, under the provisions of ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”), Andrea evaluated the Series C Preferred Stock embedded conversion feature. The Company has concluded that the embedded conversion feature would be classified in shareholders’ equity if it were a freestanding instrument as the Series C Preferred Stock is more akin to equity and as such it should not be bifurcated from the Series C instrument and accounted for separately.

On July 17, 2009, 37.47 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, together with related accrued dividends, were converted into 1,714,314 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.2551. On September 8, 2009, 4.0 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, together with related accrued dividends, were converted into 183,006 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.2551.

On July 16, 2010, 4 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, together with related accrued dividends, were converted into 183,006 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.2551.

As of December 31, 2010, there were 44.231432 shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding, which were convertible into 2,023,658 shares of Common Stock and remaining accrued dividends of $73,921.

8. SERIES D CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

On February 17, 2004, Andrea entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (including a Registration Rights Agreement) with certain holders of the Series C Preferred Stock and other investors (collectively, the “Buyers”) pursuant to which the Buyers agreed to invest a total of $2,500,000. In connection with this agreement, on February 23, 2004, the Buyers purchased, for a purchase price of $1,250,000, an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of a new class of preferred stock, the Series D Preferred Stock, convertible into 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock (an effective conversion price of $0.25 per share) and Common Stock warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock. These warrants were exercisable at any time after August 17, 2004, at an exercise price of $0.38 per share. On February 23, 2009, these warrants expired without being exercised.

In addition, on June 4, 2004, the Buyers purchased for an additional $1,250,000, an additional 1,250,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock convertible into 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock (an effective conversion price of $0.25 per share) and Common Stock warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock. The warrants were exercisable at any time after December 4, 2004 and before June 4, 2009 at an exercise price of $0.17 per share. On June 4, 2009, these warrants expired without being exercised.

The shares of Series D Preferred Stock are also subject to antidilution provisions, which are triggered in the event of certain stock splits, recapitalizations, or other dilutive transactions. In addition, issuances of common stock at a price below the conversion price then in effect (currently $0.25), or the issuance of warrants, options, rights, or convertible securities which have an exercise price or conversion price less than that conversion price, other than for certain previously outstanding securities and certain “excluded securities” (as defined in the certificate of amendment), require the adjustment of the conversion price to that lower price at which shares of common stock have been issued or may be acquired. In the event that Andrea issues securities in the future which have a conversion price or exercise price which varies with the market price and the terms of such variable price are more favorable than the conversion price in the Series D Preferred Stock, the purchasers may elect to substitute the more favorable variable price when making conversions of the Series D Preferred Stock. In addition, the Company is required to use its best efforts to secure the inclusion for quotation on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board for the common stock issuable under the Series D Preferred Stock and to arrange for at least two market makers to register with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. In the event that the holder of the Series D Preferred Stock and related warrants is unable to convert these securities into Andrea Common Stock, the Company shall pay to each such holder a Registration Delay Payment. This payment is to be paid in cash and is equal to the product of (i) the stated value of such Preferred Shares multiplied by (ii) the product of (1) .0005 multiplied by (2) the number of days that sales cannot be made pursuant to the Registration Statement (excluding any days during that may be considered grace periods as defined by the Registration Rights Agreement).

In accordance with Sub Topic 815-40, Andrea evaluated the Series D Preferred Stock and concluded that it is not considered to be indexed to the Company’s stock because of the conversion price adjustment feature described above. Accordingly, under the provisions of ASC 815, Andrea evaluated the Series D Preferred Stock embedded conversion feature. The Company has concluded that the embedded conversion feature would be classified in shareholders’ equity if it were a freestanding instrument as the Series D Preferred Stock is more akin to equity and as such it should not be bifurcated from the Series D instrument and accounted for separately.

Additionally, Andrea reviewed the Series D Preferred Stock warrants and concluded that they are considered to be indexed to the Company’s stock within the provisions of ASC 815-40 and were properly classified.

On July 17, 2009, 142,857 shares of Series D Preferred Stock were converted into 571,428 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.25.

As of December 31, 2010, there were 907,144 shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding which were convertible into 3,628,576 shares of Common Stock.

9. LICENSING AGREEMENTS

The Company has entered into various licensing, production and distribution agreements with manufacturers of PC and related components. These agreements provide for revenues based on the terms of each individual agreement. The Company's two largest licensing customers accounted for $250,790 and $1,248,554 of revenues in 2010 and $132,285 and $947,545 of revenues in 2009.

10. INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2009 and during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

The Company was required to evaluate all of its tax positions including any limitations from the result of a change in control under Section 382. During 2007, the Company performed a preliminary evaluation as to whether a change in control had taken place. Management has determined that it is more likely than not that a change in control may have taken place. As a result of its preliminary evaluation management has determined that $30 million of its $50 million of total NOL may be subject to limitation and accordingly reduced its net deferred tax asset and related evaluation allowance by $11.7 million.

The Company has identified its federal tax return and its state tax return in New York as “major” tax jurisdictions, as defined in ASC 740. Based on the Company's evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company's evaluation was performed for tax years ended 2007 through 2010. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to its consolidated financial position.

The Company's policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income tax expense. There were no amounts accrued for penalties or interest as of or during the year ended December 31, 2010. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company determined that, more likely than not, a portion of its previously reserved deferred tax assets would be realized and, accordingly, reduced the valuation allowance. The reduction in the valuation allowance is included in the income tax benefit, net, in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for 2010. The determination that the net deferred tax asset of $173,700 at December 31, 2010 is realizable is based on the Company's expectations of taxable future earnings. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position.

The components of loss before income taxes are as follows:

Andrea has foreign tax credits of approximately $99,000 expiring in varying amounts beginning 2016 through 2019 and General Business Credits of approximately $1.1 million expiring in varying amounts beginning in 2011 through 2030. The Company has elected the “with and without approach” regarding ordering of windfall tax benefits to determine whether the windfall tax benefit did reduce taxes payable in the current year. Under this approach the windfall tax benefit would be recognized in additional paid-in-capital only if an incremental tax benefit is realized after considering all other benefits presently available.

Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Andrea will receive an annual base salary of $337,500 for the period of August 1, 2010 through July 31, 2011 and for the period of August 1, 2011 through July 31, 2012 Mr. Andrea will receive an annual base salary of $350,000. The employment agreement provides for quarterly bonuses equal to 25% of the Company’s pre-bonus net after tax quarterly earnings in excess of $25,000 for a total quarterly bonus amount not to exceed $12,500; and annual bonuses equal to 10% of the Company’s annual pre-bonus net after tax earnings in excess of $300,000. All bonuses shall be payable as soon as the Company’s cash flow permits. All bonus determinations or any additional bonus in excess of the above will be made in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee. On August 1, 2010, the Board granted Mr. Andrea 1,000,000 stock options with an aggregate fair value of $130,000 (fair value was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model). The 1,000,000 stock option grant vests in three equal annual installments over a three year period commencing August 1, 2011. These 1,000,000 stock options have an exercise price of $0.13 per share, which was the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant, and a term of 10 years. Pursuant to the employment agreement and subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee will recommend a second grant of 1,000,000 stock options as soon as practical after August 1, 2011, with an exercise price equal to the per share fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Mr. Andrea is also entitled to a change in control payment equal to two times his salary with continuation of health and medical benefits for two years in the event of a change in control, as defined in the agreement. At December 31, 2010, the future minimum cash commitments under this agreement aggregate $546,875.

In November 1999, as amended August 2008, the Company entered into a change in control agreement with the Chief Financial Officer, Corisa L. Guiffre. This agreement provides for a change in control payment equal to three times her average annual compensation for the five preceding taxable years, with continuation of health and medical benefits for three years in the event of a change in control of the Company, as defined in the agreement, and subsequent termination of employment other than for cause.

Legal Proceedings

Andrea is involved in routine litigation incidental to the normal course of business. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the final outcome of the claims, Andrea believes any resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on Andrea’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

13. STOCK PLANS AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In 1998, the Board adopted the 1998 Stock Option Plan (“1998 Plan”), which was subsequently approved by the shareholders. The 1998 Plan, as amended, authorizes the granting of awards, the exercise of which would allow up to an aggregate of 6,375,000 shares of Andrea’s Common Stock to be acquired by the holders of those awards. The awards can take the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, stock reload options or other stock-based awards. Awards may be granted to key employees, officers, directors and consultants. No further awards will be granted under the 1998 Plan.

In October 2006, the Board adopted the Andrea Electronics Corporation 2006 Equity Compensation Plan (“2006 Plan”), which was subsequently approved by the shareholders. The 2006 Plan authorizes the granting of awards, the exercise of which would allow up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of Andrea’s Common Stock to be acquired by the holders of those awards. On July 24, 2009, shareholders approved an amendment to the 2006 Plan to increase the number of shares issuable under the 2006 Plan to 18,000,000. The awards can take the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or other stock-based awards. Awards may be granted to key employees, officers, directors and consultants. At December 31, 2010, there were 4,213,936 shares available for further issuance under the 2006 Plan.

The stock option awards granted under these plans have been granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant; with vesting periods of up to four years and 10-year contractual terms.

The fair values of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses the weighted-average assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on implied volatilities from historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

The fair values of the stock options granted were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses the following weighted-average assumptions for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:


	December 31, 2010			December 31, 2009

Expected life in years (based on simplified method)		6			6
Risk-free interest rates		1.84	%		2.87	%
Volatility (based on historical volatility)		168.2	%		163.4	%
Dividend yield		0	%		0	%

Option activity during 2010 is summarized as follows:


	Options Outstanding									Options Exercisable

	Options Outstanding			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Fair Value		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life		Options Exercisable		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Fair Value		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life

At January 1, 2010		16,141,821		$	0.20	$	0.16		7.32 years		9,891,470	$	0.29	$	0.22		6.37 years
Granted		2,054,000		$	0.10	$	0.10
Cancelled		(255,000	)	$	6.37	$	4.45

At December 31, 2010		17,940,821		$	0.10	$	0.10		6.80 years		12,701,641	$	0.11	$	0.10		6.03 years

During the year ended December 31, 2010, 3,065,171 options vested with a weighted average exercise price of $0.07 and a weighted average fair value of $0.07 per option. Based on the December 31, 2010, fair market value of the Company’s common stock of $0.07, the aggregate intrinsic value of the 17,940,821 options outstanding and 12,701,641 shares exercisable is $198,450 and $141,099. respectively.

Total compensation expense recognized related to stock option awards was $204,555 and $215,125 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ending December 31, 2010, $157,348 of expense is included in general, administrative and selling expenses, $31,611 is included in research and development
