VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

(1)    Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of VOXX International Corporation and subsidiaries ("Voxx" or the "Company") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented.  The results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any interim period.  These consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2015. Certain amounts in the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

We have determined that we operate in three reportable segments, Automotive, Premium Audio and Consumer Accessories. See Note 19 for the Company's segment reporting disclosures.

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

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

Restricted stock, stock options and warrants of 403,645 and 163,792 for the three months ended August 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and 395,690 and 163,792 for the six months ended August 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, were not included in the net income (loss) per diluted share calculation because the exercise price of these restricted stock, stock options and warrants was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during these periods or their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

(3)    Fair Value Measurements and Derivatives

The Company applies the authoritative guidance on “Fair Value Measurements," which among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about investments that are measured and reported at fair value. This guidance establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices, generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs developed using the Company's estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use.

The following table presents assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at August 31, 2015:

(a)
Included in this balance are investments in three non-controlled corporations accounted for at cost (see Note 4). The fair values of these investments would be based upon Level 3 inputs. At February 28, 2015, this balance also included the Company's held-to-maturity investment in bonds issued by the Venezuelan government, which were recorded at amortized cost (see Note 4). At August 31, 2015 and February 28, 2015, it is not practicable to estimate the fair values of these items.

VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

The carrying amount of the Company's accounts receivable, short-term debt, accounts payable, accrued expenses, bank obligations and long-term debt approximates fair value because of (i) the short-term nature of the financial instrument; (ii) the interest rate on the financial instrument being reset every quarter to reflect current market rates, and (iii) the stated or implicit interest rate approximates the current market rates or are not materially different than market rates.
Derivative Instruments
The Company's derivative instruments include forward foreign currency contracts utilized to hedge a portion of its foreign currency inventory purchases and local operating expenses. The Company also has four interest rate swap agreements, two of which hedge interest rate exposure related to the forecasted outstanding borrowings on a portion of its senior secured credit facility ("the Credit Facility"); a third that hedges interest rate exposure related to the forecasted outstanding balance of one of its mortgage notes, with monthly payments due through May 2023; and a fourth agreement, entered into in July 2015, which hedges interest rate exposure related to the forecasted outstanding balance of its construction loan, with monthly payments due from March 2016 through March 2026. The two swap agreements related to the Credit Facility lock the Company's LIBOR rates at 0.515% and 0.518% (exclusive of credit spread) for the respective agreements through the swaps' maturities of February 28, 2017 and April 29, 2016, respectively. The swap agreement related to the Company's mortgage locks the interest rate on the debt at 3.92% (inclusive of credit spread) through the end of the mortgage. The swap agreement related to the Company's construction loan locks the interest rate on the debt at 3.48% (inclusive of credit spread) through the maturity date of the loan. The forward foreign currency derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting are designated as cash flow hedges and valued using observable forward rates for the same or similar instruments (Level 2). The duration of open forward foreign currency contracts range from 1 - 18 months and are classified in the balance sheet according to their terms. Interest rate swap agreements qualifying for hedge accounting are designated as cash flow hedges and valued based on a comparison of the change in fair value of the actual swap contracts designated as the hedging instruments and the change in fair value of a hypothetical swap contract (Level 2). We calculate the fair value of interest rate swap agreements quarterly based on the quoted market price for the same or similar financial instruments. Interest rate swaps are classified in the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities based on the fair value of the instruments at the end of the period.
It is the Company's policy to enter into derivative instrument contracts with terms that coincide with the underlying exposure being hedged. As such, the Company's derivative instruments are expected to be highly effective. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, is recognized as incurred through Other Income (Expense) in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and amounted to $(65) and $(13) for the three and six months ended August 31, 2015, respectively, and $49 and $36 for the three and six months ended August 31, 2014, respectively.
Financial Statement Classification
The Company holds derivative instruments that are designated as hedging instruments. The following table discloses the fair value as of August 31, 2015 and February 28, 2015 of derivative instruments:

2015. The current outstanding notional values of the Company's four interest rate swaps at August 31, 2015 are $26,250, $25,000, $6,110 and $3,102. For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss is reported as a component of Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

Activity related to cash flow hedges recorded during the three and six months ended August 31, 2015 and 2014 was as follows:

The net loss recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for foreign currency contracts is expected to be recognized in cost of sales within the next twenty-two months. No amounts were excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness during the respective periods. As of August 31, 2015, no contracts originally designated for hedge accounting were de-designated or terminated.

Current Investments

Held-to-Maturity Investment

At February 28, 2015, current investments included an investment in sovereign bonds issued by the Venezuelan government, which were classified as held-to-maturity and accounted for under the amortized cost method. These bonds matured in March 2015 and the Company received payment of $251 for the outstanding balance of these bonds at their maturity date.
Long-Term Investments

Trading Securities

The Company’s trading securities consist of mutual funds, which are held in connection with the Company’s deferred compensation plan. Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities offset those associated with the corresponding deferred compensation liability.

Available-For-Sale Securities

The Company’s available-for-sale marketable securities include a less than 20% equity ownership in CLST Holdings, Inc. (“Cellstar") and Bliss-tel Public Company Limited (“Bliss-tel").

Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect (if applicable), on available-for-sale securities are reported as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific identification basis and reported in Other Income (Expense).

A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed other-than-temporary results in a reduction in carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established.  The Company considers numerous factors, on a case-by-case basis, in evaluating whether the decline in market value of an available-for-sale security below cost is other-than-temporary. Such factors include, but are not limited to, (i) the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost; (ii) the financial condition and the near-term prospects of the issuer of the investment; and (iii) whether the Company's intent to retain the investment for the period of time is sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. No other-than-temporary losses were incurred by the Company during the three and six months ended August 31, 2015 or 2014.

Other Long-Term Investments

13

VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries

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


Other long-term investments include investments in three non-controlled corporations accounted for at cost. As of August 31, 2015, the Company's investment in Rx Networks totaled $1,832 and we held 15.3% of the outstanding shares of this company. No additional investment was made in Rx Networks during the three and six months ended August 31, 2015. During the six months ended August 31, 2014, the Company invested $3,000 in EyeSee360, Inc., consisting of shares of the investee's preferred stock. During the three months ended August 31, 2015, Voxx increased this investment to $4,453, as a result of acquiring additional preferred stock shares. The Company holds 9.3% of the outstanding shares of EyeSee360, Inc. as of August 31, 2015. During the six months ended August 31, 2014, the Company also invested $3,000 in EyeLock, Inc., consisting of a convertible debt security. The Company held 4.2% of the convertible equivalent of shares of EyeLock Inc. on August 31, 2015. The total balance of the three investments at August 31, 2015 was $9,285.

On September 1, 2015, the Company completed an acquisition of a majority voting interest in substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of EyeLock, Inc. and EyeLock Corporation (see Note 22). During the six months ended August 31, 2015, prior to the completion of the acquisition, the Company loaned an additional $3,942 to EyeLock, Inc. in the form of secured short term promissory notes bearing interest at 10%. These notes are recorded within other assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

(7)    Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company has various stock-based compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 1 of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2015.

The Company granted 125,000 options in October 2014, which vest on October 16, 2015, expire two years from date of vesting (October 15, 2017), have an exercise price equal to $7.76, $0.25 above the sales price of the Company’s stock on the day prior to the date of grant, have a contractual term of 3.0 years and a grant date fair value of $2.78 per share determined based upon a Black-Scholes valuation model.

In addition, the Company issued 15,000 warrants in October 2014 to purchase the Company’s common stock with the same terms as those of the options above as consideration for future legal and professional services. These warrants are included in the outstanding options and warrants table below and are not yet exercisable at August 31, 2015.

The Company granted 256,250 options in December of 2012, which vested on July 1, 2013, expired two years from date of vesting (June 30, 2015), had an exercise price equal to $6.79, $0.25 above the sales price of the Company’s stock on the day prior to the date of grant, had a contractual term of 2.5 years and a grant date fair value of $1.99 per share determined based upon a Black-Scholes valuation model. In addition, the Company issued 17,500 warrants in December of 2012 to purchase the Company’s common stock with the same terms as those of the options above as consideration for future legal and professional services. None of these options or warrants expired unexercised.

During the three and six months ended August 31, 2015, the Company recorded $98 and $195 in stock-based compensation and professional fees, respectively, related to stock options and warrants. As of August 31, 2015, the Company had $32 of unrecognized compensation costs and professional fees related to non-vested stock options and warrants.

A restricted stock award is an award of common stock that is subject to certain restrictions during a specified period. Restricted stock awards are independent of option grants and are subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the release of the restrictions. In Fiscal 2014, the Company established a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) and granted 84,588 shares of restricted stock under this plan. These shares were granted based on certain performance

15

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

criteria and vest on the later of three years from the date of participation in the SERP, or the grantee reaching the age of 65 years. During Fiscal 2015 and during the second quarter of Fiscal 2016, an additional 118,058 and 79,268 shares of restricted stock were granted under the SERP, respectively. These shares were also granted based on certain performance criteria and vest on the later of three years from the date of grant or the grantee reaching the age of 65 years. Upon vesting, the shares will be issued to the grantee or settled in cash, at the Company's sole option. The grantee cannot transfer the rights to receive shares before the restricted shares vest. There are no market conditions inherent in the award, only an employee performance requirement, and the service requirement that the respective employee continues employment with the Company through the vesting date. The Company expenses the cost of the restricted stock awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each employee or a maximum of 12.75 years. For these purposes, the fair market values of the restricted stock, $13.62, $7.77 and $8.13, respectively, were determined based on the mean of the high and low price of the Company's common stock on the grant dates.

The following table presents a summary of the Company's restricted stock activity for the six months ended August 31, 2015:

During the three and six months ended August 31, 2015, the Company recorded $159 and $292, respectively, in stock-based compensation related to restricted stock awards. As of August 31, 2015, there was $2,038 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock awards.

(8)    Supply Chain Financing

The Company has four supply chain financing agreements ("factoring agreements") that were entered into for the purpose of accelerating receivable collection and better managing cash flow. The factored balances for all four agreements are sold without recourse and are accounted for as sales of accounts receivable. Total receivable balances sold for the three and six months ended August 31, 2015, net of discounts, were $62,108 and $127,149, compared to $38,872 and $86,409 for the three and six months ended August 31, 2014, respectively.

(9)    Research and Development

Expenditures for research and development are charged to expense as incurred. Such expenditures amount to $5,939 and $10,897 for the three and six months ended August 31, 2015, respectively, compared to $5,894 and $11,283 for the three and six months ended August 31, 2014, respectively, net of customer reimbursement, and are included within Engineering and Technical Support Expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The Company enters into development and long-term supply agreements with certain of its OEM ("Original Equipment Manufacturer") customers. Revenues earned from the development services are recorded based upon the milestone method of revenue recognition provided certain criteria are met. Amounts due from OEM customers for development services are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense because the performance of contract development services is not central to the Company's operations. For the three and six months ended August 31, 2015, the Company recorded $1,450 and $3,226, respectively, and for the three and six months ended August 31, 2014, the Company recorded $2,586 and $4,797, respectively, of development service revenue as a reduction of research and development expense based upon the achievement of a milestone.

We evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, when events and circumstances warrant such a review. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2016, the Company re-evaluated its projections for its Klipsch reporting unit, located in the Premium Audio segment, based on lower than anticipated results due to certain marketing strategies and re-evaluation of its market position for certain product lines. Accordingly, this was considered an indicator of impairment requiring the Company to test the related indefinite-lived tradename for impairment, and perform a step 1 impairment analysis on the goodwill for this reporting unit. Fair value is determined primarily by using a discounted cash flow methodology that requires considerable management judgment and long-term assumptions, and is considered a Level 3 (unobservable) fair value determination in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 3). A five-year period is analyzed using a risk adjusted discount rate. The discount rates (developed using a weighted average cost of capital analysis) used in the goodwill and intangible analyses were 13.1% and 13.8%, respectively. Long-term growth rates ranged from 0.7% to 2.9%. As a result of this analysis, the Company determined that the tradename for this reporting unit was impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $6,210 for the three and six months ended August 31, 2015. Approximately 44.0% ($46,533) of the Company’s goodwill is allocated to the Klipsch reporting unit. Based on the Company’s goodwill assessment, the fair value of the Klipsch reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately $3,600. The Company believes its assumptions are reasonable, however, the fair value of the reporting unit is close to its carrying amount, including goodwill, and is sensitive to changes in assumptions. There can be no assurance that its estimates and assumptions made for purposes of its goodwill impairment testing, at the annual date and the interim testing date, will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. A sustained decline in Klipsch sales, sustained pricing pressures, unfavorable operating margins, lack of new product acceptance by consumers, changes in customer trends and preferred shopping channels, less than anticipated results for the holiday season, an increase in the discount rate, and/or a decrease in our projected long-term growth rates used in the discounted cash flow model could result in a significant goodwill impairment charge.

(12)    Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes consists of U.S. and foreign taxes in amounts necessary to align the Company’s year-to-date provision for income taxes with the effective tax rate that the Company expects to achieve for the full year. The Company’s annual effective tax rate for Fiscal 2016 excluding discrete items is estimated to be 35.0% (which includes U.S., state and local and foreign taxes) based upon the Company’s anticipated earnings both in the U.S. and in its foreign subsidiaries.

For the three and six months ended August 31, 2015, the Company recorded income tax benefits of $2,453 and $2,177, respectively, which consisted of U.S., state and local and foreign taxes, including a discrete tax benefit of $64 for the three months ended August 31, 2015 and a discrete tax provision of $371 for the six months ended August 31, 2015. The discrete tax benefit for the three months ended August 31, 2015 primarily relates to the reversal of uncertain tax position liabilities, offset by a provision related to the accrual of interest for unrecognized tax benefits. The discrete tax provision for the six months ended August 31, 2015 includes the impact of a tax law change in Indiana whereby the Company's R&D credits are no longer realizable on a more-likely-than-not basis. For the three and six months ended August 31, 2014, the Company recorded income tax benefits of $1,960 and $1,892, respectively.

The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended August 31, 2015 were 35.8% and 29.9%, respectively, compared to 42.2% and 46.3% in the comparable prior periods.  The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended August 31, 2015 are different than the statutory rate primarily due to state and local taxes and income taxed in foreign jurisdictions at varying tax rates, as well as the impact of a tax law change in Indiana whereby the Company's R&D credits are no longer realizable on a more-likely-than-not basis.

(a)          Domestic Credit Facility
 
The Company has a senior secured credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with an aggregate availability of $200,000, consisting of a revolving credit facility of $200,000, with a $30,000 multicurrency revolving credit facility sublimit, a $25,000 sublimit for Letters of Credit and a $10,000 sublimit for Swingline Loans. The Credit Facility is due on January 9, 2019; however, it is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

Generally, the Company may designate specific borrowings under the Credit Facility as either Alternate Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, except that Swingline Loans may only be designated as Alternate Base Rate Loans. VOXX International (Germany) GmbH may only borrow euros, and only as LIBOR rate loans. Loans designated as LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the then applicable LIBOR rate plus a range of 1.00 - 2.00% based upon leverage, as defined in the agreement. Loans designated as Alternate Base Rate loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.00 - 1.00% based on excess availability in the borrowing base. As of August 31, 2015, the interest rate on the facility was 2.16%.

The Credit Facility requires compliance with non-financial and financial covenants. As of August 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

The Obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by valid and perfected first priority security interests in liens on all of the following: (a)(i) 100% of the capital stock or other membership or partnership equity ownership of profit interests of each domestic Credit Party (other than the Company), and (ii) 65% of the voting equity interests and 100% of the non-voting equity interests of all present and future first-tier foreign subsidiaries of any Credit Party (or such greater percentage as would not result in material adverse federal income tax consequences for the Company); (b) all of (i) the tangible and intangible personal property/assets of the Credit

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

Parties and (ii) the fee-owned real property of the Company located in Hauppauge, New York; and (c) all products, profits, rents and proceeds of the foregoing.

As of August 31, 2015, approximately $71,200 was outstanding under the line. Charges incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility during the three and six months ended August 31, 2015 totaled $77 and $165, respectively, compared to $71 and $139, respectively, during the three and six months ended August 31, 2014, respectively. These charges are included within Interest and Bank Charges on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The Company incurred debt financing costs totaling approximately $8,200 as a result of entering into and amending the Credit Facility during Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2014, which are recorded as deferred financing costs. The Company accounted for the amendments as modifications of debt and added these costs to the remaining financing costs related to the original Credit Facility. These deferred financing costs are included in Other Assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and are being amortized through Interest and Bank Charges in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) over the five year term of the Credit Facility. During the three and six months ended August 31, 2015 the Company amortized $279 and $559 of these costs, respectively, compared to $279 and $558 during the three and six months ended August 31, 2014.

(b)    Construction Mortgage
        
On July 6, 2015, VOXX HQ LLC, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, closed on a $9,995 industrial development revenue tax exempt bond under a loan agreement in favor of the Orange County Industrial Development Authority (the “Authority”) to finance the construction of the Company's manufacturing facility and executive offices in Lake Nona, Florida (the “Construction Loan”).  Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo") was the purchaser of the bond and U.S. Bank National Association is the trustee under an Indenture of Trust with the Authority. Voxx borrowed the proceeds of the bond purchase from the Authority and will make principal and interest payments to Wells Fargo beginning March 1, 2016 through March of 2026. The Construction Loan is considered a revolving loan during construction and will become a permanent mortgage when the building is completed and ready for occupancy. The Company will make interest payments on the outstanding balance of the Construction Loan through February 29, 2016, at which time monthly principal and interest payments will commence and be made through the loan maturity date. The Construction Loan bears interest at 70% of 1-month LIBOR plus 1.54% and is secured by a first mortgage on the property, a collateral assignment of leases and rents and a guaranty by the Company. The financial covenants of the Construction Loan are as defined in the Company’s Credit Facility with Wells Fargo dated March 14, 2012. The outstanding balance of the Construction Loan as of August 31, 2015 was $3,102.

The Company incurred debt financing costs totaling approximately $332 as a result of obtaining the Construction Loan, which are recorded as deferred financing costs and included in Other Assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet and are being amortized through Interest and Bank Charges in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) over the ten year term of the Construction Loan. During the three months ended August 31, 2015, the Company amortized $3 of these costs.

On July 20, 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement in order to hedge interest rate exposure related to the Construction Loan and will pay a fixed rate of 3.48% under the swap agreement beginning on March 1, 2016 coinciding with the start of principal and interest payments.

(c)          Euro Asset-Based Lending Obligation
 
Foreign bank obligations include a Euro accounts receivable factoring arrangement, which has a credit limit of up to 60% of eligible non-factored accounts receivable and expires on July 31, 2016, and a Euro Asset-Based Lending ("ABL") credit facility, which has a credit limit of €8,000 and expires on October 31, 2016 for the Company's subsidiary, VOXX Germany. The rate of interest for these credit facilities is the three month Euribor plus 1.6% (1.57% at August 31, 2015). As of August 31, 2015, the amounts outstanding under these credit facilities, which are payable on demand, do not exceed their respective credit limits.
  
(d)          Schwaiger Mortgage

VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

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

Included in this balance is a mortgage on a facility included in the assets acquired in connection with the Klipsch transaction on March 1, 2011 and assumed by Voxx. The balance at August 31, 2015 is $342 and will be fully paid by the end of Fiscal 2018.

Also included in this balance is a mortgage on the building which houses Klipsch's headquarters in Indianapolis, IN due in May 2023. The interest rate on the mortgage is equal to the 1-month LIBOR plus 2.25%. The Company has an interest rate swap agreement in order to hedge interest rate exposure related to this mortgage and pays a fixed rate of 3.92% under the swap agreement (see Note 3). The balance of the mortgage at August 31, 2015 was $6,110.

(f)    Voxx Germany Mortgage

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

(g)    Hirschmann Line of Credit

In December 2014, Hirschmann entered into an agreement for a €8,000 working capital line of credit with a financial institution. The line of credit is payable on demand and is mutually cancelable. The rate of interest is the three month Euribor plus 2% (1.97% at August 31, 2015). Hirschmann and Voxx Germany are joint and severally liable for the line of credit balance, which is also guaranteed by VOXX International Corporation.

(16)    Foreign Currency

The Company has certain operations in Venezuela. Venezuela is currently experiencing significant political and civil unrest and economic instability and has been troubled with various foreign currency and price controls. The country has experienced high rates of inflation over the last several years. The President of Venezuela has the authority to legislate certain areas by decree, which allows the government to nationalize certain industries or expropriate certain companies and property. These factors may have a negative impact on our business and our financial condition. In 2003, Venezuela created the Commission of Administration of Foreign Currency ("CADIVI") which establishes and administers currency controls and their associated rules and regulations. These controls include creating a fixed exchange rate between the

22

VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

Bolivar Fuerte and the U.S. Dollar, and the ability to restrict the exchange of Bolivar Fuertes for U.S. Dollars and vice versa.

Effective January 1, 2010, according to the guidelines in ASC 830, "Foreign Currency," Venezuela was designated as a hyper-inflationary economy.  A hyper-inflationary economy designation occurs when a country has experienced cumulative inflation of approximately 100 percent or more over a 3 year period.  The hyper-inflationary designation requires the local subsidiary in Venezuela to record all transactions as if they were denominated in U.S. dollars.  The Company transitioned to hyper-inflationary accounting on March 1, 2010 and continues to account for its operation in Venezuela under this method.

In February 2013, the Venezuelan government announced the devaluation of the Bolivar Fuerte, moving the official exchange rate from 4.3 to 6.3 per U.S. dollar. Concurrent with this action, the Venezuelan government established a new auction-based exchange rate market program, referred to as Complementary System for the Administration of Foreign Currency (“SICAD”). The amount of transactions that have run through the SICAD and restrictions around participation limited our access to any foreign exchange rate other than the official rate to pay for imported goods and manage our local monetary asset balances. Although the official exchange rate remained at 6.3 during Fiscal 2014, the government announced in January 2014 that the exchange rate for goods and services deemed non-essential would move to the rate available on the expanded SICAD currency market, which was 11.7 at February 28, 2014 (referred to as SICAD 1). In March 2014, a new exchange control mechanism was opened by the government, referred to as SICAD 2, which was not restricted by auction and was available for all types of transactions. The use of the SICAD 1 rate was dependent upon the availability of auctions, and was not indicative of a free market exchange, as only designated industries could bid into individual auctions and the highest bids were not always recognized by the Venezuelan government. The Company, therefore, used the SICAD 2 rate for its Venezuelan subsidiary for the three and six months ended August 31, 2014, which was approximately 50 Bolivar Fuerte/$1 at August 31, 2014, with the exception of the Company's investment in Venezuelan government issued sovereign bonds (See Note 4). In February 2015, the Venezuelan government introduced another new currency system, referred to as the Marginal Currency System, or SIMADI rate. This market-based exchange system consists of a mechanism from which both businesses and individuals are allowed to purchase and sell foreign currency at the price set by the market. In conjunction with this introduction, SICAD 2 was annulled and combined with the former SICAD 1, reverting to its original title of SICAD, exclusively applicable to non-essential goods and subject to available auctions. The SIMADI rate at August 31, 2015 was approximately 200 Bolivar Fuerte/$1 and has been used by the Company for its Venezuelan subsidiary at August 31, 2015. A net currency exchange loss of $(1) and $(34) was recorded for the three and six months ended August 31, 2015, and is included in Other Income (Expense) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). For the three and six months ended August 31, 2014, net currency exchange losses of $(6,334) and $(6,232) were recorded, respectively, which included the remeasurement loss on the Company's Venezuelan bonds of $(6,702).

Our investment in Venezuela mainly consists of $3,885 of rental properties that are currently being held for investment purposes. As of August 31, 2015, the Company made an assessment of the recoverability of its investment properties in Venezuela as a result of the existence of certain indicators of impairment. In testing the recoverability of its investment properties, the Company considered the undiscounted cash flows expected to be received from these properties, the length of time the properties have been held, the volatile market conditions, the Company’s financial condition, and the intent and ability to retain its investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Based on our assessment, none of our rental properties were impaired as of August 31, 2015.

Our automotive business in Venezuela and our ability to obtain U.S. dollars are impacted by the continued economic instability, increasing inflation and currency restrictions imposed by the government. The Company is monitoring this situation closely and continues to evaluate its local properties. However, further devaluations or regulatory actions could impair the carrying value of these properties.

(17)     Lease Obligations


At August 31, 2015, the Company was obligated under non-cancelable operating leases for equipment, as well as warehouse and office facilities for minimum annual rental payments as follows:

VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

The Company is currently, and has in the past been a party to various routine legal proceedings incident to the ordinary course of business.  If management determines, based on the underlying facts and circumstances, that it is probable a loss will result from a litigation contingency and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss is accrued for.  The Company believes its outstanding litigation matters disclosed below will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements, individually or in the aggregate; however, due to the uncertain outcome of these matters, the Company disclosed specific matters as outlined below.
 
The products the Company sells are continually changing as a result of improved technology.  As a result, although the Company and its suppliers attempt to avoid infringing known proprietary rights, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims for alleged infringement by patent, trademark or other intellectual property owners.  Any claims relating to the infringement of third-party proprietary rights, even if not meritorious, could result in costly litigation, divert management’s attention and resources, or require the Company to either enter into royalty or license agreements which are not advantageous to the Company, or pay material amounts of damages.

Securities and Derivative Proceedings:

On July 8, 2014, a purported class action suit, Brian Ford v. VOXX  International Corporation et. al., was filed against us and two of our present executive officers in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.  On July 16, 2015, the judge approved the designation of the lead plaintiffs and counsel for the plaintiffs.  On September 28, 2015, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint which alleges the same claims as the original complaint (that defendants violated the federal securities laws by making false or misleading statements which artificially inflated the price of our stock and that purchasers of our stock during the relevant period were damaged when the stock price later declined) under Sections 10(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act but expands the class period by five months, from January 9, 2013 through May 14, 2014.  According to the allegations contained in the amended complaint, the defendants knew or should have known, by virtue of their roles and positions, that their statements were false and misleading and said defendants were purportedly motivated  because their conduct enabled Company insiders to sell VOXX stock at inflated prices.  We believe that we have meritorious legal positions and defenses and will continue to represent our interests vigorously in this matter. The defendants have until November 25, 2015 to answer, move against or otherwise respond to the amended complaint.

(21)    New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The standard requires entities to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The new guidance also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements intended to provide users of financial statements comprehensive information about the nature, amounts, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a company's contracts with customers. In August, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date.” The amendment in this ASU defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities for one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2016, including interim reporting periods with that reporting period. Retrospective or modified retrospective application of the accounting standard is required. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASC 2015-02, "Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis." This standard modifies existing consolidation guidance for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. ASU 2015-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and requires either a retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this standard to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Interest- Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” The update simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of debt liability, consistent

with debt discounts or premiums. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this update. For public companies, this update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and is to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, "Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated  with Line-of Credit Arrangements."  This standard states that the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing these costs when they relate to a line-of-credit arrangement.  The Company does not expect these standards to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet concluded whether it will adopt the standards prior to the effective date.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-08, “'Business Combinations (Topic 805): Pushdown Accounting - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 115.” ASU 2015-08 amends various SEC paragraphs included in the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification to reflect the issuance of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 115 (“SAB 115”). SAB 115 rescinds portions of the interpretive guidance included in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletins series and brings existing guidance into conformity with ASU 2014-17, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Pushdown Accounting,” which provides an acquired entity with an option to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements upon occurrence of an event in which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired entity. The Company has adopted the amendments in ASU 2015-08, effective immediately, as the amendments in the update are effective upon issuance. The adoption did not have an impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” The new standard amends the guidelines for the measurement of inventory from lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV). NRV is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Under existing standards, inventory is measured at lower of cost or market, which requires the consideration of replacement cost, NRV and NRV less an amount that approximates a normal profit margin. This ASU eliminates the requirement to determine and consider replacement cost or NRV less an approximately normal profit margin for inventory measurement. The new standard is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adopting this new accounting guidance on our results of operations and financial position.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASC 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments.” ASU 2015-16 eliminates the requirement for an acquirer to retrospectively adjust provisional amounts recorded in a business combination to reflect new information about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and that, if known, would have affected measurement or recognition of amounts initially recognized. As an alternative, the amendment requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendments require that the acquirer record, in the financial statements of the period in which adjustments to provisional amounts are determined, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The new standard is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.

(22)    Subsequent Events

Effective September 1, 2015, subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company completed its acquisition of a majority voting interest in substantially all of the assets and certain specified liabilities of Eyelock, Inc. and Eyelock Corporation (collectively the “Seller”), a market leader of iris-based identity authentication solutions, through a newly-formed entity Eyelock LLC.

Eyelock LLC acquired substantially all of the assets and certain specified liabilities of the Seller with cash of $15,500, assignment to the Seller of the indebtedness owed to the Company by the Seller of $4,677 and the issuance of units in Eyelock LLC to the Seller. Additionally, units in Eyelock LLC were issued to certain executives of EyeLock LLC.

In connection with the closing, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with Eyelock LLC. The terms of the Loan Agreement allow Eyelock LLC to borrow up to $10,000, bearing interest at 10%. The Loan Agreement provides for a maximum monthly borrowing of $1,000, which can be adjusted to $2,000 for working capital purposes related to new

27

business opportunities. Amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement are due on September 1, 2017. The Loan Agreement includes customary events of default and is collateralized by all of the property of Eyelock LLC. Existing amounts due from the Seller, recorded as Other Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Company of $2,942 as of August 31, 2015, have been assumed by EyeLock LLC under this Loan Agreement.

As this acquisition occurred subsequent to August 31, 2015, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Operations, and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows presented within this quarterly report do not include the operations of Eyelock LLC, or the fair market value of the assets and liabilities acquired. The opening balances and financial results of Eyelock LLC will be consolidated with the Company beginning with the Company’s third quarter of Fiscal 2016.

Due to the limited time since the acquisition date, the initial accounting for the business combination and the accounting for any transactions that are to be recognized separately from the acquisition are incomplete. As a result, the Company is unable to provide amounts recognized as of the acquisition date for major classes of assets and liabilities acquired, noncontrolling interests, the fair value of consideration, and any other transactions that are recognized separately from the acquisition. Any required supplemental pro forma information has not been provided, as it is impracticable at this time. The Company will include such information in future filings.

30



consumer spending and general economic conditions.  Also, all of our products are subject to price fluctuations which could affect the carrying value of inventories and gross margins in the future.
 
Our objective is to continue to grow our business by acquiring new brands, embracing new technologies, expanding product development and applying this to a continued stream of new products that should increase gross margins and improve operating income.  In addition, it is our intention to continue to acquire synergistic companies that would allow us to leverage our overhead, penetrate new markets and expand existing product categories through our business channels.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in those financial statements.  These judgments can be subjective and complex, and consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates.  Our most critical accounting policies and estimates relate to revenue recognition; sales incentives; accounts receivable reserves; inventory reserves; goodwill and other intangible assets; warranties; stock-based compensation; income taxes; and the fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities.  A summary of the Company's critical accounting policies is identified in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2015. Since February 28, 2015, there have been no changes in our critical accounting policies or changes to the assumptions and estimates related to them.

Automotive sales represented 54.7% of the net sales for both the three and six months ended August 31, 2015 compared to 52.4% and 53.6% in the comparable prior year periods. A significant portion of the decrease in sales figures for the Automotive group was due to foreign exchange. The Euro devalued against the U.S. Dollar beginning in the second quarter of Fiscal 2015 and accelerated during the third and fourth quarters of Fiscal 2015 through the first half of Fiscal 2016. During these periods, the Euro to U.S. Dollar rate dropped from approximately 1.36 at May 31, 2014 to 1.11 at August 31, 2015, representing an 18% decrease in value, which negatively impacted the translation of our Euro denominated sales when comparing the three and six months ended August 31, 2015 to the three and six months ended August 31, 2014, and resulting in a decrease of approximately $8,400 and $19,000, respectively, in Automotive segment sales. In addition, the Company experienced a decrease in sales related to its remote start business during the three and six months ended August 31, 2015 due to load in sales realized in the prior year for a program launched with Subaru that has leveled out in the current fiscal year, as well as the completion of remote start programs with two

31



other vehicle manufacturers. The Company has also experienced a decline in sales for its Car Connection program for the three and six months ended August 31, 2015, which began selling devices to retailers during the first half of Fiscal 2015 with significant load in sales, as well as a decrease in satellite radio fulfillment sales, as more cars are now being manufactured with satellite radio. As an offset to these decreases, the Company saw an increase in its OEM manufacturing line sales for both the three and six months ended August 31, 2015 due primarily to the launch of a new program with Cadillac for rear seat entertainment, as well as the relaunch of a previously suspended OEM program due to customer safety issues.

Premium Audio sales represented 19.6% and 18.7% of our net sales for the three and six months ended August 31, 2015 compared to 22.0% and 20.4% in the respective prior year periods and have decreased 22.4% and 19.7% for the three and six months ended August 31, 2015, respectively. A portion of the decline is attributable to the Euro to U.S. Dollar exchange rate, which negatively impacted the translation of our Euro denominated sales when comparing the three and six months ended August 31, 2015 to the three and six months ended August 31, 2014, as noted above, resulting in an approximate decrease of $1,400 and $3,300, respectively, in Premium Audio sales. Sales have also decreased in this segment as a result of lower sales of Bluetooth speakers, headphones and soundbars as a result of competition, as well as prior year load in sales of new product that was not repeated in the current year. These decreases were partially offset by increases in sales of subwoofers, as well as commercial installations for the three and six months ended August 31, 2015.

Consumer Accessory sales represented 25.4% and 26.3% of our net sales for the three and six months ended August 31, 2015 compared to 25.5% and 25.9% in the comparable prior year periods. A portion of the decline in sales is attributable to the Euro to U.S. Dollar exchange rate, which negatively impacted the translation of our Euro denominated sales when comparing the three and six months ended August 31, 2015 to the three and six months ended August 31, 2014, as noted above, resulting in an approximate decrease of $1,500 and $3,400, respectively, in Consumer Accessory sales. The segment also experienced decreases in sales for the three and six months ended August 31, 2015 in hook-up and reception products, such as cables and antennas, as well as remotes and headphones due to competition, changes in demand and changes in technology, and a decline in tablet sales due to the phasing out of these products. In addition, there was a decrease in sales for the six months ended August 31, 2015 as a result of the prior year sale of all inventory on hand at the Company's Mexico subsidiary in the first quarter of Fiscal 2015 due to the transition of this subsidiary from a distributor model to a representative office. These decreases were offset by significant increases in the sale of wireless and Bluetooth speakers, as well as sales of the new Singtrix karaoke product launched in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2015.

Gross margins in the Automotive segment decreased 90 and 40 basis points for the three and six months ended August 31, 2015, respectively. The segment experienced higher sales in the Company's OEM manufacturing line related to current programs that have produced slightly lower margins during the three and six months ended August 31, 2015, as well as lower sales in its higher margin remote start business. In addition, the Company received a one time duty refund in the first quarter of Fiscal 2015, which did not repeat in the current year and negatively affected margins for the six months ended August 31, 2015. This was offset by lower sales of lower margin products such as satellite radio fulfillments, which contributed to margin improvements for the three and six months ended August 31, 2015.

Gross margins in the Premium Audio segment increased 420 and 260 basis points for the three and six months ended August 31, 2015, respectively. During the prior year three and six month periods, the Premium Audio group made significant downward prices adjustments to products that were phasing out in order to make way for a new product line. In addition, many of the new product introductions during Fiscal 2015 were accompanied by up front promotional funding and discounts, as well as discounts for demo products, which have not recurred during the three and six months ended August 31, 2015. These Fiscal 2016 margin improvements were partially offset by lower sales prices for products such as Bluetooth speakers, headphones and soundbars for the three and six months ended August 31, 2015.

Gross margins in the Consumer Accessories segment decreased 270 and 20 basis points for the three and six months ended August 31, 2015, respectively. For the six months ended August 31, 2015, the margins were significantly impacted by a duty refund that was received in the second quarter of Fiscal 2015 and did not repeat in the current year. For both the three and six months ended August 31, 2015, margins were negatively impacted by decreased sales of certain higher margin products in both periods, such as remotes, headphones, hookup and reception products. This was partially offset by an increase in sales of higher margin products, such as wireless and Bluetooth speakers and the Singtrix karaoke product, as well as a decrease in sales of lower margin products, such as tablets.

Total operating expenses have increased for the three months ended August 31, 2015 and have decreased for the six months ended August 31, 2015. Increases to operating expenses are primarily due to impairment charges recorded during the three months ended August 31, 2015 related to certain trademarks of the Company. The impairment charges were a result of certain indicators that occurred during the second quarter of Fiscal 2016. Specifically, certain of our premium audio product lines experienced lower than expected performance due to certain marketing strategies and the re-evaluation of marketing positions. Taking these factors

33



into consideration, along with long-term industry forecasts, the Company re-evaluated its projections. Additionally, the hiring of additional engineers at Hirschmann resulted in increases to salary expense for both the three and six months ended August 31, 2015. As an offset to these increases, the Company's operating expenses have been significantly impacted by the drop in foreign exchange for Euro translation to the U.S. Dollar for the three and six months ended August 31, 2015, as compared to the three and six months ended ended August 31, 2014. The impact of the Euro to U.S. Dollar rate decrease resulted in an approximate decrease of $3,800 and $8,500, respectively, in operating expenses for the three and six months ended August 31, 2015, as compared with the corresponding prior year periods. There have also been decreases in operating expenses due to lower salary and related payroll expenses as a result of a Company-wide headcount reduction announced in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2015, lower occupancy costs due to the closure of one of the Company's offices and the sublet of warehouse space and lower Company spending on items such as offices expenditures, travel and entertainment and other overhead expenses due to conservative cost cutting measures. The Company has also experienced lower advertising expense as a result of the timing of campaigns and promotions, as well as lower depreciation expense due to the decreased value of buildings in Venezuela as a result of Fiscal 2015 impairments and the absence of a building under a capital lease that was terminated in the third quarter of Fiscal 2015.

Interest and bank charges represent expenses for the Company's bank obligations, interest for capital leases and amortization of the debt discount on our credit facility. The increase in the expense for the three and six months ended August 31, 2015 as compared to the comparable prior year period is attributable to draws on Hirschmann's line of credit, as well as borrowings related to the Company's Construction Loan, neither of which were outstanding in the comparable prior year periods.

Equity in income of equity investees represents the Company's share of income from its 50% non-controlling ownership interest in ASA Electronics LLC and Subsidiaries ("ASA"). The decrease in income for the six months ended August 31, 2015 was a result of a change in ASA's product mix.

Venezuela currency devaluation, net, for the three and six months ended August 31, 2014 included a charge of $6,702 representing the remeasurement loss related to the Company's Venezuelan bonds that were remeasured at August 31, 2014 using a rate of 6.3 Bolivar Fuerte/$1, which did not recur in Fiscal 2016. These bonds matured during the first quarter of Fiscal 2016.

Other, net, during the three and six months ended August 31, 2015, primarily included net foreign currency losses of $(397) and $(21), interest income of $708 and $743, and rental income of $107 and $211, respectively. Other, net, during the three and six months ended August 31, 2014, primarily included foreign currency gains of $237 and $365, interest income of $55 and $138 and rental income of $291 and $591, respectively. The increase in interest income was attributable to interest earned on notes receivable due from EyeLock, Inc.

Income Tax Provision

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended August 31, 2015 was 35.8% and 29.9% compared to 42.2% and 46.3% in the comparable prior period.  The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended August 31, 2015 is different than the

34



statutory rate primarily due to the reversal of uncertain tax provisions and the impact of a tax law change in Indiana whereby the Company's Indiana R&D credits are no longer realizable on a more-likely-than-not basis.

Net income for the three and six months ended August 31, 2015 was unfavorably impacted by lower net sales during these periods as compared to the prior year, as well as impairment charges related to intangible assets. Net income for the three and six months ended August 31, 2014 was unfavorably impacted by a currency devaluation related to its Venezuelan government bonds. Net income for both the three and six months ended August 31, 2015 and the three and six months ended August 31, 2014 were positively impacted by income tax benefits.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA and diluted adjusted EBITDA per common share are not financial measures recognized by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, before interest and bank charges, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, impairment charges and certain settlements and remeasurements. Depreciation, amortization, impairment charges, remeasurments and stock-based compensation are non-cash items. Diluted adjusted EBITDA per common share represents the Company's diluted earnings per common share based on adjusted EBITDA.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows, Commitments and Obligations
 
As of August 31, 2015, we had working capital of $147,764 which includes cash and short-term investments of $8,450, compared with working capital of $154,312 at February 28, 2015, which included cash and short-term investments of $8,448. We plan to utilize our current cash position as well as collections from accounts receivable, the cash generated from our operations and the income on our investments to fund the current operations of the business.  However, we may utilize all or a portion of current capital resources to pursue other business opportunities, including acquisitions. 

Operating activities provided cash of $2,883 for the six months ended August 31, 2015 principally due to a decrease in accounts receivable as a result of the factoring of certain trade accounts receivable, and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets, offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

The Company experienced increased annual accounts receivable turnover of 7.9 during the six months ended August 31, 2015 compared to 6.5 during the six months ended August 31, 2014, which was partially due to the factoring of certain trade accounts receivable.

Annual inventory turnover decreased to 2.5 during the six months ended August 31, 2015 as compared to 3.0 during the six months ended August 31, 2014.

Investing activities used cash of $14,015 during the six months ended August 31, 2015, primarily due to capital additions, as well as short term notes made to EyeLock, Inc.
 
Financing activities provided cash of $10,726 during the six months ended August 31, 2015, primarily due to borrowings of bank obligations net of repayments.
 
The Company has a senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with an aggregate availability of $200,000, consisting of a revolving credit facility of $200,000, with a $30,000 multicurrency revolving credit facility sublimit, a $25,000 sublimit for Letters of Credit and a $10,000 sublimit for Swingline Loans. The Credit Facility is due on January 9, 2019; however, it is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

Generally, the Company may designate specific borrowings under the Credit Facility as either Alternate Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, except that Swingline Loans may only be designated as Alternate Base Rate Loans. VOXX International (Germany) GmbH may only borrow euros, and only as LIBOR rate loans. Loans designated as LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the then applicable LIBOR rate plus a range of 1.00 - 2.00% based upon leverage, as defined in the agreement. Loans designated as Alternate Base Rate loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.00 - 1.00% based on leverage.


36



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

The Credit Facility contains covenants that limit the ability of certain entities of the Company to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) incur liens; (iii) merge, consolidate or exit a substantial portion of their respective businesses; (iv) make any material change in the nature of their business; (v) prepay or otherwise acquire indebtedness; (vi) cause any Change of Control; (vii) make any Restricted Payments; (viii) change their fiscal year or method of accounting; (ix) make advances, loans or investments; (x) enter into or permit any transaction with an Affiliate of certain entities of the Company; or (xi) use proceeds for certain items. As of August 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

The Obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by valid and perfected first priority security interests in liens on all of the following: (a)(i) 100% of the Capital Stock or other membership or partnership equity ownership of profit interests of each domestic Credit Party (other than the Company), and (ii) 65% of the voting equity interests and 100% of the non-voting equity interests of all present and future first-tier foreign subsidiaries of any Credit Party (or such greater percentage as would not result in material adverse federal income tax consequences for the Company); (b) all of (i) the tangible and intangible personal property/assets of the Credit Parties and (ii) the fee-owned real property of the Company located in Hauppauge, New York; and (c) all products, profits, rents and proceeds of the foregoing.

Certain contractual cash obligations and other commercial commitments will impact our short and long-term liquidity.  At August 31, 2015, such obligations and commitments are as follows:

1.
Represents total payments (interest and principal) due under a capital lease obligation which has a current (included in other current liabilities) and long term principal balance of $51 and $1,658, respectively at August 31, 2015.

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

3.
Represents amounts outstanding under the Company's Credit Facility, Hirschmann's line of credit and the Voxx Germany Euro asset-based lending facility at August 31, 2015.

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

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

6.

37



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

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

9.
At August 31, 2015, the Company had an uncertain tax position liability of $5,143, including interest and penalties. The unrecognized tax benefits include amounts related to various U.S federal, state and local and foreign tax issues.

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Acquisitions

There were no acquisitions during the first or second quarter of Fiscal 2016 or during Fiscal 2015. See Note 22 for the discussion of the Company's acquisition of a majority voting interest in substantially all assets and certain liabilities of EyeLock, Inc. and EyeLock Corporation subsequent to August 31, 2015.

Related Party Transactions

The Company leases a facility from its principal stockholder which expires on November 30, 2016.  

Total lease payments required under all related party leases for the five-year period ending August 31, 2021 are $1,052.

New Accounting Pronouncements

We are required to adopt certain new accounting pronouncements. See Note 21 to our consolidated financial statements included herein.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Voxx conducts business in various non-U.S. countries, including Germany, Hungary, Canada, Mexico, Denmark, the Netherlands, France and Venezuela and thus is exposed to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For the three and six months ended August 31, 2015, a uniform 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currency of our foreign operations would have resulted in a decrease in sales of approximately $5,400 and $11,300 and net income of approximately $20 and $170, respectively. The effects of foreign currency exchange rates on future results would also be impacted by changes in sales levels or local currency prices.
 
The Company continues to monitor the political and economic climate in Venezuela. Venezuela represented less than 1% of year to date sales. Approximately $103 of assets invested in Venezuela are cash related and are subject to government foreign exchange controls. The Company also maintains $3,885 in real estate property in Venezuela that could be subject to government foreign exchange controls upon their ultimate sale.

In connection with the Credit Facility, the mortgage related to the Klipsch headquarters and the construction mortgage related to the manufacturing facility in Florida, we have debt outstanding in the amount of $71,200, $6,110 and $3,102, respectively, at August 31, 2015. Interest on the Credit Facility is charged at LIBOR plus 0.00 - 2.00%, interest on the Klipsch mortgage is charged at LIBOR plus 2.25% and interest on the Construction Loan is charged at 70% of 1-month LIBOR plus 1.54%. We have entered into two interest rate swaps for two portions of the Credit Facility, with notional amounts of $26,250 and $25,000 at August 31, 2015, as well as one interest rate swap for the Klipsch mortgage and one interest rate swap for the construction loan with notional amounts of $6,110 and $3,102, respectively, at August 31, 2015. These swaps protect against LIBOR interest rates rising above 0.515% and 0.518% (exclusive of credit spread) on the two Credit Facility balances, respectively, through April 29, 2016 and February 28, 2017, respectively, as well as fixes the interest rates on the Klipsch mortgage at 3.92% (inclusive of credit spread) through the mortgage end date of May 2023 and on the construction loan at 3.48% (inclusive of credit spread) through the mortgage end date of March 2026.

As of August 31, 2015, the total fair value of our interest rate swaps recorded in Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities and Other Liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet was $(416), which represents the amount that would be received upon unwinding the interest rate swap agreements based on market conditions at that time. Changes in the fair value of these interest rate swap agreements are reflected as an adjustment to other assets or liabilities with an offsetting adjustment to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income since the hedge is deemed fully effective.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, these disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of August 31, 2015 in order to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its filing under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
There were no material changes in our internal control over financial  reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the three month period ended August 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

(b)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, except for recourse against the Rep & Warranty Policy or the offset or other rights expressly provided in Section 15.21 or Section 15.22 of the LLC Agreement or with respect to Section 6.24, recovery against the funds then remaining and available in the Indemnification Escrow Account pursuant to this Section 8.02, Section 2.09 and the Escrow Agreement constitutes the Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any and all Losses or other claims relating to or arising from this Agreement, including in any Schedule or certificate delivered hereunder. The Buyer agrees that other than indirectly through the payment of all or a portion of the Escrow Amount to the Buyer (if and as required by the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow





Agreement) and the offset and other rights expressly provided in Section 15.21 or Section 15.22 of the LLC Agreement or with respect to Section 6.24 or pursuant to the Rep & Warranty Policy, under no circumstances will the Seller Indemnitees have any liability for Losses to any Buyer Indemnitee relating to or arising from this Agreement, including in any Schedule or certificate delivered hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, upon the release of the Escrow Amount in accordance with Section 2.09, the Buyer shall have no further remedy from the Seller, other than the offset or other rights expressly provided for in Section 15.21 or Section 15.22 of the LLC Agreement or with respect to Section 6.24 or pursuant to the Rep & Warranty Policy, for any Losses relating to or arising from this Agreement, including in any Schedule or certificate delivered hereunder.
(c)None of the Buyer Indemnitees may avoid the limitations on liability set forth in this Article VIII by seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any theory of liability other than as permitted in accordance with this Article VIII, and the Buyer, for itself and the other Buyer Indemnitees, hereby waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all claims and rights the Buyer (or other Buyer Indemnitees) may have against the Seller Indemnitees relating (directly or indirectly) to the subject matter of this Agreement arising under or based upon any such other Law or otherwise.
(d)Except pursuant to Section 2.05(b), no Person (including any Seller Indemnitee) shall have any obligation to fund the Indemnification Escrow Account, and title and all rights to all unencumbered funds in the Indemnification Escrow Account not subject to any Claims against the Indemnification Escrow Account shall transfer to the Seller in accordance with Section 2.09.
Section .Indemnification by VOXX and Buyer
. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VIII, the Buyer and VOXX shall jointly and severally indemnify and defend each of the Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Seller Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:
(a)any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to a specified date, the inaccuracy in or breach of which will be determined with reference to such specified date);
(b)any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; or
(c)any Assumed Liability;
provided, however, that VOXX shall not indemnify the Seller Indemnitees with respect to any claim under the foregoing sub-paragraphs (b) or (c), whether jointly or severally.
Section .Certain Limitations
. The indemnification provided for in Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 shall be subject to the following limitations:
(a)Except for, and in addition to, the offset or other rights expressly provided in Section 15.21 or Section 15.22 of the LLC Agreement or with respect to Section 6.24 or pursuant to the Rep & Warranty Policy, the aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Seller shall be liable pursuant to Section 8.02(a) shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Escrow Amount.
(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Buyer Indemnitee shall have any right to indemnification for Losses resulting from or attributable to any Tax





elections, changes in Tax method of accounting, or amended Tax Returns made or filed by the Seller after the Closing, except if such elections, changes or amendments are required as a result of or are attributable to a breach of any of the representations set forth in Section 4.21.
For purposes of clarification, nothing in this Article VIII shall in any manner limit any claim or recovery by the Buyer under the Rep & Warranty Policy, and no payment to or recovery by the Buyer under the Rep & Warranty Policy shall affect any claim by the Buyer for indemnification or any indemnification obligation of the Seller.
Section .Indemnification Procedures
. The party making a claim under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party,” and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.”
(a)Third Party Claims
. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 15 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced thereby. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Business, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including





making available (subject to the provisions of Section 6.06) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.
(b)Settlement of Third Party Claims
. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation (including any increase in or adverse determination on Taxes) on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within 10 days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(c)Direct Claims
. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced thereby. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) calendar days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
Section .Payments
. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article VIII, (i) if the Indemnifying Party is the Buyer, the Buyer shall satisfy its obligations within fifteen (15) Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds, (ii) if the Indemnifying Party is the Seller, such obligations shall be satisfied pursuant to the Escrow Agreement or the LLC Agreement.
Section .Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments
. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.
Section .Effect of Investigation





. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Section 7.02 or Section 7.02(l), as the case may be.
Section .Insurance Proceeds
. Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement in respect of any Loss shall be reduced by an amount equal to any (i) Tax benefit and (ii) insurance proceeds realized (other than under the Rep & Warranty Policy) as a result of such Loss by the Indemnified Party.
Section .Exclusive Remedies
. Subject to Section 6.07 and Section 10.12 and except as provided in Section 10.07 or otherwise in this Article VIII, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII or the offset and other rights expressly provided in Section 15.21 or Section 15.22 of the LLC Agreement or pursuant to the Rep & Warranty Policy. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII or the offset and other rights expressly provided in Section 15.21 or Section 15.22 of the LLC Agreement. Nothing in this Section 8.10 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s fraudulent, criminal or intentional misconduct.

(ii)any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 or Section 7.02 shall not have been, or if it becomes apparent that any of such conditions will not be, fulfilled by September 1, 2015, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of the Buyer to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing; or





(iii)each of the Employment Agreements has not been executed by the parties thereto by the Delivery Date.
(c)by the Seller by written notice to the Buyer if:

(d)by the Buyer or the Seller in the event that (i) there shall be any Law that makes consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibited or (ii) any Governmental Authority shall have issued a Governmental Order restraining or enjoining the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Governmental Order shall have become final and non-appealable.

Section .Disclosure Schedules
. Buyer expressly agrees that Seller shall have the right, from and after the execution of this Agreement but prior to the Delivery Date, (i) to qualify any representation, warranty or other provision of this agreement by adding any new Disclosure Schedules, whether or not this Agreement contains a reference to a Disclosure Schedule in respect of such provision that is being qualified, and (ii) to work on, amend, and update any Disclosure Schedule provided as of the date of the execution of this Agreement or at any time until the Delivery Date, it being expressly understood that there is no requirement that Seller deliver any Disclosure Schedules to Buyer as of the date of this Agreement, and failure to deliver such Disclosure Schedules to Buyer as of the date of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a breach of the corresponding representation and warranty or other provision to the extent such Disclosure Schedules are amended and/or updated and delivered on or prior to the Delivery Date. The Disclosure Schedules shall be final and effective to qualify any representation, warranty or other provision of this Agreement as of the Delivery Date. Following the Delivery Date, but prior to the Closing, the Seller shall update the Disclosure Schedules as required; provided, that the inclusion of any disclosure, matter or item in any such new, amended and/or updated Disclosure Schedules delivered after the Delivery Date (the “Updated Disclosure Schedules”) shall not be effective to qualify any representation, warranty or other provision for purposes of determining the truth or accuracy of, or compliance with, any such representation,





warranty or other provision as of the Closing. The inclusion of any information in the Disclosure Schedules, including the Updated Disclosure Schedules, will not be deemed an admission or acknowledgement that such information is required to be listed thereon. The Disclosure Schedules, including the Updated Disclosure Schedules, shall be arranged in sections corresponding to the sections contained in this Agreement. The disclosures in any section of the Disclosure Schedules, including the Updated Disclosure Schedules, shall qualify other sections in in this Agreement to the extent it is reasonably clear from a reading of the disclosure that such disclosure is applicable to such other sections.
Section .Interpretation
. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) the words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation,” (b) the word “or” is not exclusive, and (c) the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereto” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein: (x) to Articles, Sections, Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits mean the Articles and Sections of, and Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits attached to, this Agreement; (y) to an agreement, instrument or other document means such agreement, instrument or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof, and (z) to a statute means such statute as amended from time to time and includes any successor legislation thereto and any regulations promulgated thereunder. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted. The Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits referred to herein shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein.
Section .Headings
. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.
Section .Severability
. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Except as provided in Section 6.07(d), upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
Section .Entire Agreement
. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter, other than Section 4 of the Confidential Term Sheet, which shall continue in effect per its terms and conditions. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement and those in the other Transaction Documents, the Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Disclosure Schedules), the statements in the body of this Agreement will control.
Section .Successors and Assigns
. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither party may assign its rights or obligations





hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that the Buyer may without the prior written consent of the Seller, collaterally assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to one or more lenders to the Buyer or VOXX or any of their respective Affiliates. No assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder.
Section .No Third-party Beneficiaries
. Except as provided in Article VIII, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
Section .Amendment and Modification; Waiver
. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each party hereto. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
Section .Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial
.
(a)This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction).

SERVICE OF PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICE OR OTHER DOCUMENT BY MAIL TO SUCH PARTY’S ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL BE EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS FOR ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR ANY PROCEEDING IN SUCH COURTS AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE AND AGREE NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.
(c)EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS





CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

4.
The registrant's other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:

a)
designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;

b)
designed such internal controls over financial reporting, or caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

5.
The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

a.
all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

b.
any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
