EMERSON RADIO CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 — BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Emerson Radio Corp. (“Emerson”, consolidated — the “Company”), and its subsidiaries. The Company designs, sources, imports and markets a variety of houseware and consumer electronic products, and licenses the Company’s trademarks for a variety of products domestically and internationally.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2010 and the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes; actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and accordingly do not include all of the disclosures normally made in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 (“fiscal 2010”), included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, as amended, for fiscal 2010.

The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s former joint venture interest in Advanced Sound and Image, LLC for the six month period ended September 30, 2009 have been presented as discontinued operations. See Note 11 “Discontinued Operations”.

The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for any other interim periods or for the full year ending March 31, 2011 (“fiscal 2011”).

Certain reclassifications were made to conform the prior year’s financial statements to the current presentation.

Unless otherwise disclosed in the notes to these financial statements, the estimated fair value of the financial assets and liabilities approximates the carrying value.

Subsequent events have been evaluated through November 15, 2010.

Stock- Based Compensation

The Company measures compensation cost for stock-based compensation arrangements based on grant date fair value. The computed fair value is expensed ratably over the requisite vesting period as required by the Stock Compensation Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. All outstanding stock based compensation arrangements issued by the Company were fully vested as of November 30, 2009. Consequently, the Company recorded no compensation costs during either the three or six month periods ending September 30, 2010. For the three and six months ending September 30, 2009, the Company recorded compensation costs of $5,000 and $9,000, respectively.

Sales Allowance and Marketing Support Expenses

Sales allowances, marketing support programs, promotions and other volume-based incentives which are provided to retailers and distributors are accounted for on an accrual basis as a reduction to net revenues in the period in which the related sales are recognized in accordance with ASC topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, subtopic 50 “Customer Payments and Incentives” and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletins 101 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” and 104 “Revenue Recognition, corrected copy” (“SAB’s 101 and 104”).

At the time of sale, the Company reduces recognized gross revenue by allowances to cover, in addition to estimated sales returns as required by ASC topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, subtopic 15 “Products”, (i) sales incentives offered to customers that meet the criteria for accrual under ASC topic 605, subtopic 50 and (ii) under SAB’s 101 and 104, an estimated amount to recognize additional non-offered deductions it anticipates and can reasonably estimate will be taken by customers which it does not expect to recover. Accruals for the estimated amount of future non-offered deductions are required to be made as contra-revenue items because that percentage of shipped revenue fails to meet the collectability criteria within SAB 104’s and 101’s four revenue recognition criteria, all of which are required to be met in order to recognize revenue.

If additional marketing support programs, promotions and other volume-based incentives are required to promote the Company’s products subsequent to the initial sale, then additional reserves may be required and are accrued for when such support is offered.

NOTE 2 — COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income equaled net income for the both the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009.

NOTE 3 — NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Basic and diluted earnings from continuing operations per share	$	.12	$	.12	$	.34	$	.16

NOTE 4 — SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Outstanding capital stock at September 30, 2010 consisted of common stock and Series A convertible preferred stock. The Series A convertible preferred stock is non-voting, has no dividend preferences and has not been convertible since March 31, 2002; however, it retains a liquidation preference.

At September 30, 2010, the Company had approximately 77,000 options outstanding with exercise prices ranging from $1.00 to $3.19.

In September 2003, the Company publicly announced the Emerson Radio Corp. common stock repurchase program. The program provides for share repurchase of up to 2,000,000 shares of Emerson’s outstanding common stock. No shares were repurchased in the three months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009. As of September 30, 2010, 732,377 shares remain available for repurchase under the program established in September 2003. Repurchases of the Company’s shares are subject to certain conditions under Emerson’s banking facility.

NOTE 5 — INVENTORY

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. As of September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):


	September 30, 2010			March 31, 2010
	(Unaudited)
Finished goods	$	37,154		$	12,710
Less inventory allowances		(2,163	)		(1,758	)

Net inventory	$	34,991		$	10,952

NOTE 6 — INCOME TAXES

The Company has tax net operating loss carry forwards included in net deferred tax assets that are available to offset future taxable income and can be carried forward for 20 years. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the net deferred tax assets will be realized through tax planning strategies available in future periods and through future profitable operating results. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be reduced or eliminated if certain tax planning strategies are not successfully executed or estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced. If management determines that the Company would not be able to realize all or part of the net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.

As of September 30, 2010, the Company had $119,000 of unrecognized tax benefits related to state taxes. All of the unrecognized tax benefits could impact the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized.

Estimated interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes are classified as a component of income tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Accrued interest and penalties were $49,000 as of September 30, 2010 and are recognized in the balance sheet.

The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to expenses that are not deductible for federal income tax purposes, foreign tax rates, state income taxes and a change in valuation allowance.

The Company is subject to examination and assessment by tax authorities in numerous jurisdictions. A summary of the Company’s open tax years is as follows as of September 30, 2010:


Jurisdiction	Open tax years
U.S. federal		2006-2009
States		2006-2009

Based on the outcome of tax examinations or due to the expiration of statutes of limitations, it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken in previously filed returns may be different from the liabilities that have been recorded for these unrecognized tax benefits. As a result, the Company may be subject to additional tax expense.

NOTE 7 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

From time to time, Emerson engages in business transactions with its controlling shareholder, The Grande Holdings Limited and/or its subsidiaries (“Grande”). Set forth below is a summary of such transactions.

Majority Shareholder

Grande’s Ownership Interest in Emerson. At September 30, 2010, approximately 56.2% of the Company’s outstanding common stock was owned by direct or indirect subsidiaries of The Grande Holdings Limited, a Bermuda corporation.

Rented Space in Hong Kong

Effective May 15, 2009, Emerson entered into an amended lease agreement with The Grande Properties Ltd., (“Grande Properties”) pursuant to which the space rented from Grande Properties was increased from 18,476 square feet to 19,484 square feet. This amended agreement by its terms expired on December 31, 2009.

Effective June 1, 2009, Emerson entered into another lease agreement with Grande Properties, pursuant to which additional space was rented from Grande Properties totaling 17,056 square feet for Emerson’s use to refurbish certain returned products. In connection with this new space rental, during June 2009, Emerson paid a security deposit of approximately $71,400 to Grande Properties. This lease agreement expired on December 31, 2009.

Effective January 1, 2010, Emerson entered into a lease agreement with Lafe Properties (Hong Kong) Limited, formerly known as The Grande Properties Ltd. (“Lafe”), pursuant to which Emerson rented 36,540 square feet from Lafe for the purpose of housing its Hong Kong based office personnel and for its use to refurbish certain returned products.

Rent expense and related service charges associated with these lease agreements with Grande totaled approximately $174,000 and $192,000 for the three months ending September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively, and $347,000 and $338,000 for the six months ending September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively. The rent expense and related service charges associated with these lease agreements are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Emerson owed Grande $2,680 and $1,703 related to this activity at September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively, and a security deposit of $113,000 and $153,000 on the leased property was held by Lafe as of September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively.

Rented Space in the People’s Republic of China

In December 2008, Emerson signed a lease agreement with Akai Electric (China) Ltd., a subsidiary of Grande, concerning the rental of office space, office equipment, and lab equipment for Emerson’s quality assurance personnel in Zhongshan, People’s Republic of China. The lease term began in July 2007 and ended by its terms in June 2009, at which time the agreement renews automatically on a month-by-month basis unless canceled by either party. The agreement has not been canceled by either party, and therefore remains in full force and effect as of September 30, 2010.

Rent charges with Akai Electric (China) Ltd. totaled approximately $28,000 and $25,000 for the three months ending September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively, and $56,000 and $53,000 for the six months ending September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.

Emerson owed Akai Electric (China) Ltd. $0 related to the agreement at both September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively, and Akai Electric (China) Ltd. held a security deposit paid to it by Emerson in the amount of $31,600 at both September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively.

Other.

In June 2009, Emerson paid a consulting fee of approximately $6,000 to Mr. Michael A.B. Binney, a former director of Grande, related to Emerson’s licensing business, certain potential business opportunities and the investigation of various international sales opportunities.

During the three and six months ending September 30, 2010, Emerson paid consulting fees of approximately $29,399 and $60,781, respectively, to Mr. Eduard Will, a director of Emerson, for work performed during the period December 2009 through September 2010 by Mr. Will relating to the Emerson Radio Shareholder Derivative Litigation (“The Berkowitz Litigation”) described in the section below entitled “Legal Proceedings”. In May 2010, Emerson signed an agreement with Mr. Will, which formalized the arrangement and commits Emerson to paying a consulting fee of a minimum of $12,500 per quarter to Mr. Will relating to The Berkowitz Litigation.

During the three and six months ending September 30, 2009, Emerson paid Innovative Capital Limited, a subsidiary of Grande, consulting fees of $50,000 and $125,000, respectively, for services rendered to Emerson during those periods by personnel of Grande. This consulting arrangement ended on September 30, 2009.

During the three months and six months ending September 30, 2010, Akai Sales invoiced Emerson approximately $0 and $7,300, respectively, for travel expenses and courier fees which Akai Sales paid on Emerson’s behalf, and during the three months ending September 30, 2009, Akai Sales invoiced Emerson approximately $21,000 for travel expenses which Akai Sales paid on Emerson’s behalf. Including earlier invoices related to similar charges paid for by Akai Sales on Emerson’s behalf, Emerson owed Akai Sales approximately $0 at September 30, 2010 and $26,000 at March 31, 2010, as a result of these invoices.

During September 2009, Nakamichi Corporation Ltd. (“Nakamichi”), a subsidiary of Grande, invoiced Emerson approximately $1,000 for audio samples. As of March 31, 2010, Emerson owed Nakamichi $0.

On April 7, 2010, upon a request made to the Company by its foreign controlling stockholder, S&T International Distribution Limited (“S&T”), a subsidiary of Grande, the Company entered into an agreement (“the Agreement”) with S&T whereby the Company returned to S&T on April 7, 2010 that portion of the taxes that the Company had withheld from the dividend paid on March 24, 2010 to S&T, which the Company believes is not subject to U.S. tax based on the Company’s good-faith estimate of its accumulated earnings and profits. Per the terms of the Agreement, Emerson invoiced S&T in June 2010 approximately $42,000 for reimbursement of legal fees incurred by Emerson with regard to the Agreement and approximately $33,000 as a transaction fee for having entered into the Agreement. As of September 30, 2010, S&T owed Emerson approximately $75,000 as a result of this invoice.

NOTE 8 — BORROWINGS

Short-term Borrowings

At both September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, there were $5.6 million of short-term borrowings outstanding under a credit line maintained with Smith Barney. This facility is backed by the Company’s auction rate securities and bears interest at the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.10%, and these borrowings have no net carrying cost.

Long-term Borrowings

As of September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, borrowings under long-term facilities consisted of the following (in thousands):


	September 30, 2010			March 31, 2010
	(Unaudited)
Capitalized lease obligations and other		121			231
Less current maturities		(17	)		(30	)

Long term debt and notes payable	$	104		$	201

Credit Facility - On March 2, 2010, the Company entered into an amendment to its Revolving Credit Agreement with Wachovia Bank, whereby the facility was changed to allow only the issuance of 105% cash-collateralized Letters of Credit up to a maximum $15.0 million or a “Borrowing Base” as defined in the agreement. The Borrowing Base amount is established by specified percentages of eligible accounts receivables and inventories. The interest rate charged to the Company on Letters of Credit ranges from Prime or, at the Company’s election, the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus an interest rate margin ranging between 1.25% to 2.25%, depending on excess availability and the type of Letter of Credit. Pursuant to the loan agreement, the Company is restricted from, among other things, paying certain cash dividends, and entering into certain transactions without the lender’s prior consent and is subject to certain leverage financial covenants. Borrowings under the loan agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. The loan agreement expires by its terms on December 23, 2010 and the Company is currently evaluating its options with regard to its long-term credit and banking needs.

At September 30, 2010, there were no borrowings outstanding under the facility.

NOTE 9 — LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In re: Emerson Radio Shareholder Derivative Litigation. In late 2008, the plaintiffs in two previously filed derivative actions (the Berkowitz and Pinchuk actions) filed a consolidated amended complaint naming as defendants two current and one former director of the Company and alleging that the named defendants violated their fiduciary duties to the Company in connection with a number of related party transactions with affiliates of The Grande Holdings, Ltd., the Company’s controlling shareholder. In January 2009, the individual defendants filed an answer denying the material allegations of the complaint. In May 2010, the plaintiffs and the defendants agreed in principle to settle the matter with a payment to the Company by or on behalf of the defendants of $3.0 million less the amount of legal fees payable to plaintiffs’ counsel and certain other expenses. The parties executed a definitive settlement agreement on October 6, 2010 and filed it with the Delaware Court of Chancery on October 7, 2010. Finalization of the settlement is subject, among other things, to (i) written notification of the proposed settlement to shareholders in a form approved by the Delaware Court of Chancery and (ii) approval by the Delaware Court of Chancery, which has set a hearing date on January 18, 2011, of the settlement and the award of legal fees payable to plaintiffs’ counsel.

Except for the litigation matters described above, the Company is not currently a party to any legal proceedings other than litigation matters, in most cases involving ordinary and routine claims incidental to our business. Management cannot estimate with certainty the Company’s ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to such pending litigation matters. However, management believes, based on our examination of such matters, that the Company’s ultimate liability will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 10 — MARKETABLE SECURITIES:

As of both September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, the Company had $8.1 million face value (net book value of $6.0 million) invested in trading securities, consisting entirely of student loan auction rate securities (“SLARS”). These securities have long-term nominal maturities for which interest rates which were historically reset through a Dutch auction process at pre-determined calendar intervals; a process which, prior to February 2008, had historically provided a liquid market for these securities. As a result of the continuing liquidity issues experienced in the global credit and capital markets, these SLARS have had multiple failed auctions. As a result, the Company concluded at March 31, 2008, that these securities had experienced an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. These SLARS have AAA/Aaa and AAA/Baa3 credit ratings as of September 30, 2010, and have been classified as long-term investments in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as a consequence of their uncertain liquidity. There were no realized or unrealized gains or losses on the Company’s SLARS during the three or six months ended September 30, 2010, based on the Company’s assessment of these securities’ net realizable value as of that date, which considered external market data available to the Company.

ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures.

Under ASC Topic 820, financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that reflect our own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company would develop these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.

In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above, the following table shows the fair value of the Company’s securities available for sale that are required to be measured at fair value as of September 30, 2010:

Fair Value Measurement at Reporting Date Using:


Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)	September 30, 2010

NOTE 11 — DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

As a result of the Company’s sale of its membership in the ASI joint venture in April 2009, the results of operations of the Company’s membership interest in the ASI joint venture have been presented as discontinued operations for the six months ended September 30, 2009.

Results of Operations

The following table summarizes certain financial information for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2010 (fiscal 2011) and September 30, 2009 (fiscal 2010) (in thousands):


	Three months ended				Six months ended

Net Revenues — Net revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 were $52.0 million as compared to $51.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010, an increase of $0.2 million or 0.4%. For the six month period of fiscal 2011, net revenues were $119.1 million as compared to $107.4 million for the six month period of fiscal 2010, an increase of $11.7 million or 10.9%. Net revenues may be periodically impacted by adjustments made to the Company’s sales allowance and marketing support accrual to record unanticipated customer deductions from accounts receivable or to reduce the accrual by any amounts which were accrued in the past but not taken by customers through deductions from accounts receivable within a certain time period. In the aggregate, these adjustments had the effect of increasing net revenues and operating income by approximately $136,000 and $371,000 for the second quarters of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively, and approximately $267,000 and $681,000 for the six month periods of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively.

Net revenues are comprised of Emerson(R) houseware product sales, branded product sales, licensing revenues and themed product sales, which have been discontinued by the Company. Emerson(R) branded product sales are earned from the sale of products bearing the Company’s brand name; licensing revenues are derived from licensing the Company’s brand names to licensees for a fee; and themed product sales represented products sold bearing a certain theme or character. The major elements which contributed to the overall increase in net revenues were as follows:

	i)		Houseware products net sales increased $9.0 million, or 23.3%, to $47.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to $38.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, principally driven by growth in microwave ovens and compact refrigerators, partially offset by decreases in toaster ovens and coffee makers. For the six month period of fiscal 2011, houseware products net sales were $110.5 million, an increase of $25.8 million or 30.4%, from $84.8 million in the six month period of fiscal 2010, on increases in microwave ovens, compact refrigerators and wine coolers, partially offset by decreases in toaster ovens and coffee makers. Houseware products consists of microwave ovens, compact refrigerators, wine coolers, toaster ovens and coffee makers;

	ii)		Emerson(R) branded products net sales, excluding houseware products, were $3.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to $10.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, a decrease of $7.0 million, or 69.3%. For the six month period of fiscal 2011, Emerson(R) branded products net sales, excluding houseware products, were $5.8 million, a decrease of $11.9 million, or 67.4%, from $17.7 million in the six month period of fiscal 2010, primarily resulting from decreased sales volumes in several audio product lines;

	iii)		Themed product sales were $0 in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $1.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. For the six month period of fiscal 2011, themed product sales were $0 compared to $2.0 million in the six month period of fiscal 2010. The decrease in both periods resulted from the expiration of the Company’s licensing arrangement with Mattel® to distribute themed products bearing the Barbie®, Hot Wheels® and Funkey® brand names;

	iv)		Licensing revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 were $1.3 million compared to $1.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, a decrease of $200,000 or 11.3%. Licensing revenues for the six month period of fiscal 2011 were $2.8 million as compared to $2.9 million for the six month period of fiscal 2010, a decrease of $100,000 or 1.6%.

Cost of Sales — In absolute terms, cost of sales increased $2.2 million, or 5.0%, to $45.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to $43.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. In absolute terms, cost of sales increased $10.1 million, or 10.8%, to $103.4 million in the six month period of fiscal 2011 as compared to $93.3 million in the six month period of fiscal 2010. Cost of sales, as a percentage of net revenues, was 88.3% and 84.4% in the second quarters of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively, and 86.8% and 86.9% in the six month periods of fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales revenues less license revenues increased to 90.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 from 86.9% in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales revenues less license revenues was 88.9% in the six month period of fiscal 2011 as compared to 89.3% in the six month period of fiscal 2010. The increase in cost of sales in absolute terms for both the second quarter and six month period of fiscal 2011 as compared to the second quarter and six month period of fiscal 2010 was primarily related to an increase in core product cost of sales, partially offset by reduced royalties related to themed products and higher purchase return credits.

Gross profit margins continue to be subject to competitive pressures arising from pricing strategies associated with the categories of the markets in which the Company competes. The Company’s products are generally placed in the low-to-medium priced category of the market, which has a tendency to be highly competitive.

Other Operating Costs and Expenses — As a percentage of net revenues, other operating costs and expenses were 1.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and 2.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. In absolute terms, other operating costs and expenses decreased $365,000, or 33.9%, to $712,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to $1.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 as a result of decreased warranty-related costs and lower allocated selling, general and administrative expenses associated with this activity, partially offset by higher costs associated with product returns. For the six month period of fiscal 2011, other operating costs and expenses were 0.8% of net revenues as compared to 1.7% of net revenues for the six month period of fiscal 2010. In absolute terms, other operating costs and expenses decreased $844,000, or 45.5%, to $1.0 million for the six month period of fiscal 2011 as compared to $1.9 million in the six month period of fiscal 2010, as a result of decreased warranty-related costs, decreased costs associated with product returns and lower allocated selling, general and administrative expenses associated with these activities

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“S,G&A”) — S,G&A, as a percentage of net revenues, was 3.9% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to 7.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. S,G&A, in absolute terms, decreased $1.6 million, or 43.9%, to $2.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to $3.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The decrease in S,G&A in absolute terms between the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and second quarter of fiscal 2010 was primarily due to lower in legal, rent and advertising expenses. For the six month period of fiscal 2011, S,G&A was 3.3% of net revenues as compared to 6.9% of net revenues in the six month period of fiscal 2010. In absolute terms, S,G&A decreased $3.4 million, or 46.5%, to $4.0 million for the six month period of fiscal 2011 as compared to $7.4 million in the six month period of fiscal 2010. The decrease in S,G&A in absolute terms between the six month periods of fiscal 2011 and 2010 was primarily due to lower legal and compensation expenses, changes in the bad debt reserve, and lower rent and advertising expenses.

Interest Income, net — Interest income, net, was $4,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to $12,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. For the six month period of fiscal 2011, interest income, net was $14,000 as compared to $22,000 in the six month period of fiscal 2010. Both periodic decreases were due to lower interest rates and lower invested assets.

Provision for Income Taxes was $98,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to $144,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The provision for income taxes was $1.6 million for the six month period of fiscal 2011 as compared to $422,000 for the six month period of fiscal 2010.

Net Income from continuing operations — As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company realized net income from continuing operations of $3.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to $3.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. For the six month periods of fiscal 2011 and 2010 the Company realized net income from continuing operations of $9.1 million and $4.4 million, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

As of September 30, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.6 million, compared to approximately $29.0 million at September 30, 2009. Working capital decreased to $34.2 million at September 30, 2010 as compared to $47.9 million at September 30, 2009. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $26.4 million was primarily due to the payment of an extraordinary dividend of $29.8 million in March 2010, an increase in inventories of approximately $12.7 million and the purchase of the Company’s new headquarters building of approximately $2.6 million, partially offset by the net income generated by the Company during the twelve months ended September 30, 2010.

Cash flow used for operating activities was approximately $10.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010, resulting primarily from increases in inventory, partially offset by the net income generated during the period and increases in accounts payable and deferred tax expenses.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $2.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 on a decrease in restricted cash, partially offset by additions to property, plant and equipment.

Net cash used by financing activities was $141,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2010, resulting primarily from net repayments of borrowings under the Company’s long-term credit facility.

Wachovia

On March 2, 2010, the Company entered into an amendment to its Revolving Credit Agreement with Wachovia Bank, whereby the facility was changed to allow only the issuance of 105% cash-collateralized Letters of Credit up to a maximum $15.0 million or a “Borrowing Base” as defined in the agreement. The Borrowing Base amount is established by specified percentages of eligible accounts receivables and inventories. The interest rate charged to the Company on Letters of Credit ranges from Prime or, at the Company’s election, the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus an interest rate margin ranging between 1.25% to 2.25%, depending on excess availability and the type of Letter of Credit. Pursuant to the loan agreement, the Company is restricted from, among other things, paying certain cash dividends, and entering into certain transactions without the lender’s prior consent and is subject to certain leverage financial covenants. Borrowings under the loan agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. The loan agreement expires by its terms on December 23, 2010 and the Company is currently evaluating its options with regard to its long-term credit and banking needs.

At September 30, 2010, there were approximately $1.6 million of letters of credit outstanding under this facility. There were no borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2010 under this facility, and at September 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with the covenants on its credit facilities.

The Company’s principal existing sources of cash are generated from operations. The Company believes that its existing sources of cash will be sufficient to support existing operations over the next 12 months; however, management may decide to raise additional financing, which may include the issuance of equity securities, or the incurrence of additional debt.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2010-17, “Revenue Recognition — Milestone Method” , which amended guidance on the criteria that should be met for determining whether the milestone method of revenue recognition is appropriate. A vendor can recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a milestone in its entirety as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone meets all criteria to be considered substantive.

The consideration earned by achieving the milestone should:

1. Be commensurate with either of the following:

a. The vendor’s performance to achieve the milestone

b. The enhancement of the value of the item delivered as a result of a specific outcome resulting from the vendor’s performance to achieve the milestone

2. Relate solely to past performance

3. Be reasonable relative to all deliverables and payment terms in the arrangement.

A milestone should be considered substantive in its entirety. An individual milestone may not be bifurcated. An arrangement may include more than one milestone, and each milestone should be evaluated separately to determine whether the milestone is substantive. Accordingly, an arrangement may contain both substantive and non-substantive milestones.

The amendments in this ASU are effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe that adoption of ASU 2010-17 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosure about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses

In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2010-20, “Receivables: Disclosure about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses”, which amended disclosure in order to facilitate financial statement users’ evaluation of the following:

• The nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables;

• How that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses; and

• The changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses.

To achieve these objectives, an entity should provide disclosures on a disaggregated basis on two defined levels: (1) portfolio segment; and (2) class of financing receivable. The ASU makes changes to existing disclosure requirements and includes additional disclosure requirements about financing receivables, including:

• Credit quality indicators of financing receivables at the end of the reporting period by class of financing receivables;

• The aging of past due financing receivables at the end of the reporting period by class of financing receivables; and

• The nature and extent of troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the period by class of financing receivables and their effect on the allowance for credit losses.

The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company does not believe that adoption of ASU 2010-20 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Inflation, Foreign Currency, and Interest Rates

Neither inflation nor currency fluctuations had a significant effect on the Company’s results of operations during the second quarter or six month period of fiscal 2011. The Company’s exposure to currency fluctuations has been minimized by the use of U.S. dollar denominated purchase orders. The Company purchases virtually all of its products from manufacturers located in China.

The interest on any borrowings under the Company’s credit facilities would be based on the Federal Funds, Prime or LIBOR rates.


Item 3.		Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no significant changes from items disclosed in Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.


Item 4.		Controls and Procedures

(a)

Disclosure controls and procedures .

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d — 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange Act reports are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Due to the inherent limitations of control systems, not all misstatements may be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons; by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Our controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the above objectives have been met.

The Company’s management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of September 30, 2010, are effective to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported,

within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Except for the promotion, during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, of the Company’s Corporate Controller to the position of Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, and the associated re-allocation of the Company’s treasury and financial reporting responsibilities among members of the finance and administration group, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
