The Agreement, among other things, includes Quintex receivables and Vendor receivables in the definition of net assets and waives the Sarbanes-Oxley 404 condition as set forth in Section 7.02 (j) of the Asset Purchase Agreement. You should read a copy of the Agreement which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report for a more complete understanding of the terms. Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement The Company's fifth amended and restated credit agreement expired on November 1, 2004 as a result of the sale of substantially all the assets of Audiovox Communications Corp. ("ACC") to UTSI and the purchase by the Company of Toshiba Corporation's interest in ACC and the repayment by ACC of the Toshiba convertible note. Item 2.01 Completion of Disposition of Assets On November 1, 2004, Audiovox Corporation ("the Company") completed the sale of select assets and certain liabilities of its majority owned subsidiary Audiovox Communications Corporation ("ACC or Wireless") to UTStarcom ("UTSI") . As consideration for the sale, Audiovox Corporation received $165,100 ("Purchase Price") subject to a net working capital adjustment. If the net working capital adjustment is less than $40,000, then the Purchase Price will be adjusted downward in an amount equal to the deficiency, and if the net working capital balance exceeds $40,000, then the Purchase Price will be adjusted upwards in an amount equal to the excess. In addition, 5% of the purchase price or $8,255 has been placed in escrow for 120 days. Immediately prior to the closing of the asset sale, ACC repaid to Toshiba, a former minority interest shareholder in ACC, $8,107 as payment in full of the outstanding principal amount of the convertible note due to Toshiba and the Company purchased from Toshiba its remaining 20% interest in ACC for $5,483. In connection with the closing, ACC's Chief Executive Officer's employment agreement with ACC was terminated and pursuant to his employment agreement and his long-term incentive compensation award he received $4,000. ACC also purchased certain of Mr. Christopher's personally held intangibles for $16,000. In addition, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer received $1,916 upon the closing of the asset sale pursuant to an amendment to a long-term incentive compensation award. A copy of the press release discussing the completion of this sale is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2. The sale of select assets and certain liabilities of the Wireless business is more fully described in the Company's definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 7, 2004. Item 5.02 Departure of Principal Officer Effective November 1, 2004, Philip Christopher resigned his position as Executive Vice President of the Company. Page 2 of 13 Item 8.01 Other Events On November 1, 2004, the Company obtained a credit line to fund the short-term working capital needs of the Company. This line expires on January 31, 2005 and allows aggregate borrowings of up to $25,000 at an interest rate of Prime (or similar designations) plus 1%. A copy of this credit line arrangement is annexed hereto as Exhibit 99.3. On November 2, 2004 at 10:00 a.m., the Company held a conference call to discuss its financial results for the quarter ended August 31, 2004. The Company has prepared a transcript of that conference call, a copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit 99.4. Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements The following unaudited pro forma financial statements give effect to the sale of substantially all of the assets (excluding certain receivables) and the assumption by UTStarcom ("UTSI") of certain liabilities (excluding intercompany accounts payable, income taxes, subordinated debt and certain accrued expenses), relating to our wireless business. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet and statements of earnings filed with this report are presented for illustrative purposes only. The pro forma balance sheet as of August 31, 2004 has been prepared to reflect the sale of substantially all of the assets and the assumption by UTSI of certain liabilities, relating to our wireless business to UTSI as if such sale had taken place on August 31, 2004, and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position of the Company had such sale occurred on that date. The pro forma statements of earnings for the nine months ended August 31, 2004 and the year ended November 30, 2003 have been prepared assuming that the transaction occurred as of the beginning of each of these periods, and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for future periods or the results that actually would have been realized had we sold the select assets and liabilities of our wireless business as of those dates. The pro forma financial statements, including notes thereto, should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Company included in our Form 10-K/A for the year ended November 30, 2003, and the unaudited financial statements filed in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 31, 2004. Our wireless business consisted of ACC and Quintex Mobile Communications Corp., or Quintex, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ACC. ACC markets wireless handsets and accessories primarily on a wholesale basis to wireless carriers in the United States and carriers overseas primarily in the CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) market. Quintex is a small operation for the direct sale of handsets, accessories and wireless telephone service. Quintex also receives residual fees and activation commissions from the carriers. Costs and expenses attributed to the Wireless business include direct costs primarily associated with that business as well as interest and certain shared expenses, including treasury, legal and human resources, based upon estimated usage. Certain items are maintained at the Company's corporate headquarters (Corporate) and are not allocated to the Wireless business. They primarily include costs associated with accounting and certain executive officer salaries and bonuses and certain items including investment securities, equity investments, deferred income taxes, certain portions of excess cost over fair value of assets acquired, jointly-used fixed assets and debt. The jointly-used fixed assets are Audiovox's management information systems, which is jointly used by the wireless and electronics businesses and Corporate. A portion of the management information systems costs, including depreciation and amortization expense, are allocated to the segments based upon estimates made by management. As such, these financial statements do not reflect other non-direct cost savings that may occur as a result of focusing our efforts on just our consumer electronics business going forward. Page 3 of 13 The following unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet represents the August 31, 2004 balance sheet adjusted to reflect the sale of the Wireless business, pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, as if such transaction had taken place on August 31, 2004: Pro forma Consolidated Balance Sheet As of August 31, 2004 (Unaudited, in thousands, except per share data) (Net Assets As Reported To Be Sold)/ Other Pro Forma August 31, Consideration to Pro Forma August 31, 2004 be Received Adjustments 2004 ----------- ---------------- ------------- ----------- Assets Current assets: Cash $ 8,592 $ 177,231 (a) $(109,062) (f) $ 33,155 (13,590) (b) (1,916) (g) (28,100) (c) - Amounts due from UTSI - 8,255 (c) - 8,255 Accounts receivable, net 222,120 (1,684) (d) - 220,436 Inventory 165,126 - - 165,126 Receivables from vendors 11,092 (4,341) (d) - 6,751 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 10,477 (541) (d) - 9,936 Deferred income taxes 8,196 - - 8,196 Assets held for sale 170,646 (170,646) (d) - - ----------- ---------- ---------- --------- Total current assets 596,249 (33,416) (110,978) 451,855 Investment securities 7,548 - - 7,548 Equity investments 13,138 - - 13,138 Property, plant and equipment, net 18,896 - - 18,896 Excess cost over fair value of assets acquired 7,195 (717) (b) - 7,019 541 (d) Intangible assets 8,043 - - 8,043 Other assets 458 - - 458 ----------- ---------- ---------- --------- $ 651,527 $ (33,592) $(110,978) $ 506,957 =========== ========== ========== ========= Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity Current Liabilities: Accounts payable $ 28,199 $ - $ - $ 28,199 Accrued expenses and other current liabilities 24,810 1,013 (d) - 25,823 Accrued sales incentives 7,419 - - 7,419 Income taxes payable 12,456 - - 12,456 Bank obligations 117,597 - (109,062)(f) 8,535 Current portion of long-term debt 10,320 (8,107) (b) - 2,213 Liabilities related to assets held for sale 87,189 (87,189) (d) - - ----------- ---------- ---------- --------- Total current liabilities 287,990 (94,283) (109,062) 84,645 Long-term debt 7,388 - - 7,388 Capital lease obligations 6,022 - - 6,022 Deferred income taxes 1,523 - - 1,523 Deferred compensation 6,089 - - 6,089 ----------- ---------- ---------- --------- Total liabilities 309,012 (94,283) (109,062) 105,667 ----------- ---------- ---------- --------- Minority interest 6,689 (6,200) (b) - 489 ----------- ---------- ---------- --------- Page 4 of 13 (Net Assets As Reported To Be Sold)/ Other Pro Forma August 31, Consideration to Pro Forma August 31, 2004 be Received Adjustments 2004 ----------- ---------------- ------------- ----------- Commitments and contingencies Stockholders' equity: Preferred stock 2,500 - - 2,500 Common stock: Class A 208 - - 208 Class B 22 - - 22 Paid in capital 252,752 572 (c) - 253,324 Retained earnings 91,526 421 (e) - 156,350 66,319 (c) (1,916) (g) Accumulated other comprehensive loss (2,685) (421) (e) - (3,106) Treasury stock, at cost (8,497) - - (8,497) ----------- ---------- ---------- --------- Total stockholders' equity 335,826 66,891 (1,916) 400,801 ----------- ---------- ---------- --------- Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $ 651,527 $ (33,592) $(110,978) $ 506,957 ============ ========== ========== ========== In connection with the asset purchase agreement, the following adjustments were recorded: (a) Proceeds to be received at the closing of sale of our wireless business. The purchase price of $165,100 was affected by the following: (i) $25,000 payment to former wireless employees, which includes $20,000 to the ACC CEO, for the purchase of intangibles and termination of his employment agreement. This payment is being recorded as a reduction to the gain at the time of closing. (ii) $4,000 of accruals for estimated legal, accounting and other acquisition costs. (iii)$49,386 positive working capital adjustment. Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, if the net working capital balance at the time of closing is less than $40,000, then the purchase price will be adjusted downward in an amount equal to the deficiency, and if the net working capital balance exceeds $40,000, then the purchase price will be adjusted upwards in the amount equal to the excess. Subsequent to the signing of the asset purchase agreement, the Company and UTSI entered into an agreement whereby UTSI would acquire certain receivables and additional accrued expenses. These items are recorded as an adjustment to the working capital adjustment. (iv) In accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement, $8,255 (5% of the purchase price) will be placed in escrow by UTSI for a limited amount of time after closing. (b) (i) Cash paid to Toshiba, minority stockholder in ACC for the following: (a) debt of $8,107 and; (b) $5,483 for Toshiba's 20% minority interest in ACC. Toshiba's 20% minority interest had a book value of $6,200 at August 31, 2004, resulting in a gain of $717. (ii) On June 9, 2004, Audiovox purchased 5% of Toshiba's minority interest in ACC for $1,410. Toshiba's 5% minority interest in ACC had a book value of $1,234 at May 31, 2004, resulting in goodwill of $176. Page 5 of 13 (c) Reflects estimated taxes of $28,100 and the after-tax pro forma gain of $66,319 which would be recognized on the sale of our wireless business had the transaction occurred on August 31, 2004. The after-tax pro forma gain of $66,319 is calculated by subtracting the net proceeds of pro forma adjustment (a) of $177,231 less: (i) the net book value of ACC net assets sold of $90,495; (ii) estimated taxes of $28,100; and (iii)a non-cash compensation charge of $572. In connection with the sale of wireless to UTSI, certain ACC employee stock options under the 1997 Stock Option Plan and 1999 Stock Compensation Plan will be extended for one year from the closing. If the sale to UTSI occurred on August 31, 2004, this extension would result in a remeasurement of stock options and would result in a non-cash stock compensation charge of $572 in accordance with FIN 44. In accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement, $8,255 (5% of the purchase price) will be placed in escrow by UTSI for a limited amount of time after closing. These escrow amounts are expected to be collected from UTSI and have been included in the above gain calculation. (d) Assets sold to and liabilities assumed by UTSI under the asset purchase agreement and additional agreement. These unaudited amounts represent ACC assets and liabilities which would be sold to UTSI if the transaction had occurred on August 31, 2004. (e) Realization of wireless Canadian cumulative translation gains. As a result of the other transactions which would occur pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, the following additional pro forma adjustments were recorded: (f) The Company's credit agreement for domestic ban obligations will expire and become due upon the consummation of sale of ACC's assets to UTSI. As a result of the cash proceeds received, Audiovox would repay domestic bank obligations. (g) Payment of $1,916 due to Mr. Shalam, Audiovox CEO, for Long Term Incentive Compensation Award related to ACC stock appreciation rights granted on May 29, 2002. These stock appreciations rights were granted in order to reward Mr. Shalam if a controlling interest in ACC was acquired by a third party. The sale of ACC assets to UTSI and Audiovox's exit from the wireless business was deemed to be a change in the controlling interest of ACC as UTSI will be controlling and operating the wireless business. Accordingly, this payment from Audiovox will be an operating charge to Audiovox Corporation at the time of closing.

(b) Represents reduction of interest expense that would be recognized due to the payment of domestic bank obligations. (c) Rental income which would be recorded by Audiovox Corporation in connection with an operating lease between Audiovox Corporation and ACC, which currently requires monthly lease payments of $46. Audiovox Corporation and UTSI anticipate extending such lease subsequent to closing. As such, rental income of $414 ($46 times 9 months) for the nine months has been recorded. (d) Tax effect of pro forma adjustments. (e) Elimination of operating results of the wireless business. In addition, costs and expenses attributed to the wireless business include direct costs primarily associated with that business as well as interest and certain shared expenses, including treasury, legal and human resources. As such, these financial statements do not reflect other non-direct cost savings that may occur as a result of focusing our efforts on just the continuous monitoring business going forward.
