THE SINGING MACHINE COMPANY, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
June 30, 2013
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
OVERVIEW
The Singing Machine Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “SMC”, “The Singing Machine”) and wholly-owned subsidiaries SMC (Comercial Offshore De Macau) Limitada (“Macau Subsidiary”), SMC Logistics, Inc. (“SMC-L”), SMC-Music, Inc.(“SMC-M”), and Singing Machine Holdings Ltd. (a B.V.I. company) are primarily engaged in the development, marketing, and sale of consumer karaoke audio equipment, accessories, musical instruments and musical recordings. The products are sold directly to distributors and retail customers.
The preparation of The Singing Machine's condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the period. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty; therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions continually. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

NOTE 2-SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Macau Subsidiary, SMC-L, SMC-M and Singing Machine Holdings Ltd. (a B.V.I. company). All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation for all periods presented.
INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial position and the condensed consolidated results of operations. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of March 31, 2013 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.
COLLECTIBILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Singing Machine's allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management's estimates of the creditworthiness of its customers, current economic conditions and historical information, and, in the opinion of management, is believed to be an amount sufficient to respond to normal business conditions. Management sets 100 % reserves for customers in bankruptcy and other reserves based upon historical collection experience. Should business conditions deteriorate or any major customer default on its obligations to the Company, this allowance may need to be significantly increased, which would have a negative impact on operations.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The functional currency of the Macau Subsidiary is the Hong Kong dollar. Such financial statements are translated to U.S. dollars using year-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the year for revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions and translations were not material during the periods presented.
Concentration of Credit Risk
At times, the Company maintains cash in United States bank accounts that are in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured amounts of up to $ 250,000 . As of June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the Company had cash deposits of $ 120,303 and $ 1,007,894 , respectively that exceeded the FDIC insurance limit. In addition, the Company deposited $ 137,967 in a restricted certificate of deposit with Wells Fargo Bank as collateral for a stand-by letter of credit issued to Majestic Realty (California warehouse’s landlord) as a security deposit required by the property lease. The Company maintains cash balances in foreign financial institutions. The amounts in foreign financial institutions at June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013 were $ 38,453 and $ 256,035 , respectively.
6
INVENTORY
Inventories are comprised of electronic karaoke equipment, accessories, electronic musical instruments, electronic toys and compact discs and are stated at the lower of cost or market, as determined using the first in, first out method. The Singing Machine reduces inventory on hand to its net realizable value on an item-by-item basis when it is apparent that the expected realizable value of an inventory item falls below its original cost. A charge to cost of sales results when the estimated net realizable value of specific inventory items declines below cost. Management regularly reviews the Company's investment in inventories for such declines in value.
COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE
Income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is presented as the conversion of stock options would have a dilutive effect. As of June 30, 2013 and 2012 total potential dilutive shares amounted to approximately 369,000 and 0 shares, respectively, however these shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2013 because their effect is anti-dilutive .
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from the sale of equipment, accessories, and musical recordings are recognized upon the later of: (a) the time of shipment or (b) when title passes to the customers and all significant contractual obligations have been satisfied and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenues from sales of consigned inventory are recognized upon sale of the product by the consignee. Net sales are comprised of gross sales net of actual and estimated future returns, discounts and volume rebates.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company follows the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation Awards Classified as Equity”. ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees including grants of employee stock options, be measured at fair value and expensed in the condensed consolidated statement of operations over the service period (generally the vesting period). The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value stock options. Employee stock option compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 includes the estimated fair value of options granted, amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire portion of the award. For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 the stock option expense was $ 2,355 , and $ 1,642 , respectively.
ADVERTISING
Costs incurred for producing and publishing advertising of the Company are charged to operations the first time the advertising takes place. The Company has entered into cooperative advertising agreements with its major customers that specifically indicated that the customer has to spend the cooperative advertising fund upon the occurrence of mutually agreed events. The percentage of the cooperative advertising allowance ranges from 2 % to 7 % of the purchase. The customers have to advertise the Company's products in the customer's catalog, local newspaper and other advertising media. The customer must submit the proof of the performance (such as a copy of the advertising showing the Company’s products) to the Company to request for the allowance. The customer does not have the ability to spend the allowance at their discretion. The Company believes that the identifiable benefit from the cooperative advertising program and the fair value of the advertising benefit is equal or greater than the cooperative advertising expense. Advertising expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $ 145,507 and $ 155,814 , respectively.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
All research and development costs are charged to results of operations as incurred. These expenses are shown as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, these amounts totaled $ 23,790 and $ 15,067 , respectively.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company adopted FASB ASC 825, which requires disclosures of information about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. For purposes of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.
The carrying amounts of the Company's short-term financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, obligations to clients for returns and allowances, warranty provision , accrued expenses and net due to related parties approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.
7
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2013, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11 “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 requires that an unrecognized or portions of an unrecognized tax benefit be presented on the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward unless certain conditions exist. This amendment is to be applied prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 3- INCOME TAXES
The Company analyzes its deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each interim period and based on management’s best estimate of its full year effective tax rate recognizes cumulative adjustments to its deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company’s effective tax rate for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014 is estimated to be approximately 38 %. The effective tax rate for the full year ended March 31, 2013 was 41 % .
As of June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, The Singing Machine had gross deferred tax assets of approximately $ 3.6 million and $ 3.2 million, respectively, against which the Company recorded valuation allowances totaling approximately $ 1.6 million. A valuation allowance was recorded against deferred tax assets because it is more likely than not that a portion of the tax benefits from the gross deferred tax assets will not be realized. For the three month period ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded a loss before income tax benefit of approximately $ 866,000 which generated an additional current deferred tax asset and income tax benefit of approximately $ 326,000 . Due to the seasonality of the business, the Company is expected to reverse this increase in deferred tax asset during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014 .

NOTE 7 – LINE OF CREDIT
On October 19, 2012, the Company executed a two-year Accounts Receivable Ledgered Line of Credit Facility (“line of credit”) with Crestmark Bank (“Crestmark”) of Troy, Michigan which allows the Company to receive an advance of up to 70% of qualified accounts receivable. The line of credit agreement has a two year term which expires on October 19, 2014 . The outstanding loan balance on the line of credit cannot exceed $ 5,000,000 during our peak selling season between August 2 and February 14 and cannot exceed $ 500,000 between February 15 and August 1 of each year that the agreement is in effect. The Company has agreed to pledge all of its domestic accounts receivable shipped from North America (except drop shipment invoices) to Crestmark and will assume all of the credit risk on accounts receivable pledged to Crestmark.
Interest on the line of credit and discounting charges on accounts receivable advances is accrued at a rate of 2 % per annum over the prime rate as published by the Wall Street Journal and at no time shall the effective rate be less than 5.25 % per annum. During the three month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred interest expense of $ 736 and $ 0 , respectively on amounts borrowed against the line of credit. There is a 1 % commission fee of the gross invoice amount on all domestic accounts receivable pledged. For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 the Company incurred commission fees on pledged receivables in the amount of $ 23,020 and $ 0 , respectively. As of June 30, 2013 Crestmark owed the Company $ 120,196 which represented cash received by Crestmark on accounts receivable in excess of amounts borrowed against the line of credit. There were no amounts outstanding on the line of credit as of the year ended March 31, 2013. The credit facility is secured with all assets of the Company as well as related-party debt subordination agreements totaling $ 2,500,000 from Ram Light Management, Ltd. in the amount of $ 1,683,247 and Starlight Marketing Development, Ltd. in the amount of $ 816,753 .

NOTE 9 - OBLIGATIONS TO CLIENTS FOR RETURNS AND ALLOWANCES
Due to the seasonality of the business and length of time clients are given to return defective product, it is not uncommon for clients to accumulate credits from the Company’s sales and allowance programs that are in excess of unpaid invoices in accounts receivable. All credit balances in clients’ accounts receivable are reclassified to “obligations to clients for returns and allowances” in current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Client requests for payment of a credit balance are reclassified from obligations to clients for returns and allowances to accounts payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. When new invoices are processed prior to settlement of the credit balance and the client accepts settlement of open credits with new invoices, then the excess of new invoices over credits are netted in accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013 obligations to clients for returns and allowances reclassified from accounts receivable were $ 382,315 and $ 376,289 respectively. As of June 30, 2013 there were no customers requesting payment of their credit balance and as such there were no amounts reclassified from obligations to clients for returns and allowances to accounts payable.

NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEGAL MATTERS
Management is currently not aware of any legal proceedings.
INCOME TAXES
In a letter dated July 21, 2008 the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) notified International SMC (HK) Limited “ISMC (HK)”, a former foreign subsidiary, of an unpaid tax balance on Income Tax Return of a Foreign Corporation (Form 1120-F) for the period ending March 31, 2003. According to the notice ISMC (HK) has an unpaid balance due in the amount of $ 241,639 that includes an interest assessment of $ 74,125 . ISMC (HK) was sold in its entirety by the Company on September 25, 2006 to a British Virgin Islands company (“Purchaser”). The sale and purchase agreement with the Purchaser of ISMC (HK) specifies that the Purchaser would ultimately be responsible for any liabilities, including tax matters. On June 3, 2009 the IRS filed a federal tax lien in the amount of approximately $ 170,000 against ISMC (HK) under ISMC (HK)’s federal Tax ID. On June 30, 2011 the IRS filed an updated federal tax lien in the amount of approximately $ 293,000 against ISMC (HK) under ISMC (HK)’s federal Tax ID. Management sought independent legal counsel to assess the potential liability, if any, on the Company. In a memorandum from independent counsel, the conclusion based on the facts presented was that the IRS would not prevail against the Company for collection of the ISMC (HK) income tax liability based on:
·
IRS’s asserted position that the Company is not the taxpayer.
·
The 1120- F tax liability was recorded under the taxpayer identification number belonging to ISMC and not the Company’s taxpayer identification number
·
The IRS would be barred from recovery since it failed to assess or issue a notice of levy within the three year statute of limitations.
Based on the conclusion reached in the legal memorandum, management does not believe that the Company will have any further liability and has not accrued any liability in this matter.
LEASES
On March 8, 2013 the Company executed a new operating lease for approximately 86,000 square feet of warehouse space in Ontario, California which commenced on June 1, 2013. The lease will expire on August 31, 2020 (term of 87 months) and includes a provision for the abatement of the first three months base rent in the amount of $ 113,412 which will be amortized over the life of the lease. The Company is also committed to various operating lease agreements for office and warehouse facilities in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Macau expiring at varying dates. Rent expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $ 155,231 and $ 197,147 , respectively. Included in rent expense is the cost for the warehouse facilities in City of Industry, California for which the operating lease expired on April 30, 2013 and was not renewed.
In addition, the Company maintains various warehouse equipment and computer equipment operating leases. Future minimum lease payments under property and equipment leases with terms exceeding one year as of June 30, 2013 are as follows:

OVERVIEW
The Singing Machine Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “Singing Machine,” “we,” “us,” “our” or “the Company”) and our subsidiaries are primarily engaged in the design, marketing, and sale of consumer karaoke audio equipment, accessories and musical recordings. The Company’s products are sold directly to distributors and retail customers. Our electronic karaoke machines and audio software products are marketed under The Singing Machine(R) and Motown trademarks.
Our products are sold throughout North America and Europe, primarily through department stores, lifestyle merchants, mass merchandisers, direct mail catalogs and showrooms, music and record stores, national chains, specialty stores and warehouse clubs.
Our karaoke machines and karaoke software are currently sold in such major retail outlets as Costco, Kohl's, Target, Toys R Us, and Wal-Mart. Our business has historically been subject to significant seasonal fluctuations causing our revenues to vary from period to period and between the same periods in different fiscal years. Thus, it may be difficult for an investor to project our results of operations for any given future period. We are uncertain of how significantly our business will be harmed by a prolonged economic recession but, we anticipate that continued contraction of consumer spending will negatively affect our revenues and profit margins.

QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 COMPARED TO THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2012
NET SALES
Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 decreased to $1,413,567 from $1,762,705, a decrease of $349,138 as compared to the same period ended June 30, 2012. This decrease was primarily due to decreased sales of approximately $681,000 to three major retail customers whose existing inventory was sufficient to meet expected spring and summer sales expectations. This sales decrease was offset by an increase in sales to a related party of approximately $194,000 and the remaining due to an increase in one-time sales of related party goods.
GROSS PROFIT
Our gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 decreased to $301,424 from $444,078 a decrease of $142,654 as compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to the decreased sales to three major retail customers in the quarter as compared to the same quarter in the prior year which contributed to approximately $240,000 of the decrease and was offset by an increase in related party sales and one-time sales of related party goods which contributed approximately $97,000 to gross profit. As a percentage of revenues, our gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was 21.3% compared to 25.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This 3.9 margin point decrease in gross profit margin points was primarily due to increase in one-time sales of related party goods and sales to a related party which yielded less than 15% gross profit margin, adversely affecting the overall gross margin percentage.
OPERATING EXPENSES
For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, total operating expenses increased to $1,167,863. This represents an increase in total operating expenses of $243,322 from the quarter ended June 30, 2012 which were $924,541. Selling expenses increased by $32,126 as there was an increase in marketing expenses of approximately $75,000 due to additional costs associated with the roll out of a new product line for the 2013 season. This increase was offset by a decrease of approximately $43,000 in variable selling expenses which were lower due to the decrease in sales volume. General and administrative expenses increased $216,653 to $859,771 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $643,118 for the same period ended June 30, 2012. Due to declining domestic sales by related parties, our warehouse and logistics services support to related parties decreased significantly during the period and as a result we were reimbursed approximately $167,000 less for these services compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The remaining variance in general and administrative expense is primarily due to increased commission related to the credit facility agreement with Crestmark Bank which was not in place during the quarter ended June 30, 2012.
13
LOSS FROM OPERATIONS
Loss from operations increased $385,976 this quarter to $866,439 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to a loss from operations of $480,463 for the same period ended June 30, 2012. A decrease in gross profit margin contributed approximately $143,000 to the increased loss due to decreased sales and unfavorable mix of products sold as discussed in gross profit. An increase in selling, general and administration expenses contributed approximately $243,000 to the increased loss primarily due to approximately $101,000 in increased costs associated with the roll out of our new product line for the 2013 season as well as $167,000 less in related party reimbursement for logistics services provided as discussed in operating expenses. These expense increases were offset by a net decrease in variable expenses of approximately $25,000 due to decreased sales.
INCOME TAXES
The Company recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $326,000 due to the loss from operations during the three months ended June 30, 2013 which generated an additional current deferred tax asset of approximately $326,000 as of June 30, 2013. The income tax benefit was based on management’s best estimate of the Company’s full year effective tax rate of approximately 38%. Due to the seasonality of the business, the Company is expected to fully reverse this increase in deferred tax asset during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company did not record a tax provision because it recorded current year-to-date losses for this period and its deferred tax asset was fully reserved.
NET LOSS
For the three months ended June 30, 2013 net loss increased to $541,066 compared to a net loss of $480,463 for the same period a year ago. The increase in net loss was primarily due to the same reasons discussed in loss from operations and income taxes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2013, Singing Machine had cash on hand of $408,755 of which $137,967 was restricted as collateral for a stand-by letter of credit as compared to cash on hand of $1,652,996 with no restrictions as of March 31, 2013. We had working capital of $2,756,638 as of June 30, 2013.
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,120,168 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $79,217 provided by operating activities the same period a year ago. During the three month period ending June 30, 2013 there was a net loss of approximately $541,000 due primarily to lower gross profit margin on the mix of products sold, increased selling and administrative expenses associated with the planned launch of a new product line and a decrease in the amount of warehouse expense reimbursements from related parties. The Company also reduced its net due to related parties by approximately $593,000 during the three month period ended June 30, 2013.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $79,217 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. During the three months ended June 30, 2012 there was a net loss of approximately $480,000 which was off set by a decrease in inventory of approximately $461,000 due to increased sales to two major retailers without having to restock inventory during the that period. There was in an increase of approximately $63,000 in the net amount due to related parties as well as an increase in accrued expenses of approximately $39,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2012 that contributed to cash provided by operations.
Net cash used by investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $260,144 as compared to $43,262 used by investing activities for the same period ended a year ago. This increase in investment activity was due to additional investment of tooling and molds for new products as well as forklift trucks, furniture and warehouse racking for the new California warehouse facility totaling approximately $122,000 during the three month period ended June 30, 2013. In addition we deposited approximately $138,000 in a restricted certificate of deposit with Wells Fargo Bank as collateral for a stand-by letter of credit issued to Majestic Realty (new California warehouse’s landlord) as a security deposit required by the property lease.
Net cash used in financing activities was $1,896 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $0 for the same period ended a year ago. On April 13, 2013, the company entered into a long-term capital leasing arrangement with Wells Fargo Equipment Finance (“Wells Fargo”) to finance the lease of two used forklift vehicles in the amount of $36,388. As of June 30, 2013 the outstanding amount due Wells Fargo was $34,492. During the three month period ended June 30, 2013, the Company made two lease payments totaling $1,896.
In addition to our current financing arrangements, the Starlight Group (“Group”) has expressed their willingness and ability to provide extended payment terms to us for key vendor payments primarily by extending longer payment terms for goods they manufacture for us. We do not believe we will require any bridge financing from the Group for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014, however we will continue to take advantage of extended terms for trade payables with the Group throughout the year. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, our related party debt decreased by approximately $593,000 primarily due to payment on current invoices for repaired goods as well as shipments made to related parties during the period. Taking into account internally generated funds and credit facilities available to the Group we have concluded that our parent will have sufficient working capital to provide extended trade payable terms to us for at least the next 12 months.

Our average monthly general and administrative expenses are approximately $275,000. We expect that we will require approximately $825,000 for working capital during the next three-month period.
During the next 12 month period, we plan on financing our operation needs by:
⋅
Raising additional working capital;
⋅
Collecting our existing accounts receivable;
⋅
Selling existing inventory;
⋅
Vendor financing;
⋅
Borrowing from bank credit facility;
⋅
Extended payment terms from our majority shareholder;
⋅
Fees for fulfillment, delivery and returns services from related parties.
Our sources of cash for working capital in the long term, 12 months and beyond are essentially the same as our sources during the short term. We are actively seeking additional financing facilities and capital investments to maintain and grow our business. If we need to obtain additional financing and fail to do so, it may have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our financial obligations and to continue as a going concern.

INVENTORY SELL THROUGH
We monitor the inventory levels and sell through activity of our major customers to properly anticipate defective returns and maintain the appropriate level of inventory. We believe that our warranty provision reflects the proper amount of reserves to cover potential defective sales returns based on historical return ratios and information available from the customers.
SEASONAL AND QUARTERLY RESULTS
Historically, our operations have been seasonal, with the highest net sales occurring in our second and third fiscal quarters (reflecting increased orders for equipment and music merchandise during the Christmas holiday season) and to a lesser extent the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. Sales in our second and third fiscal quarters, combined, accounted for approximately 90.0% and 87.9% of net sales in fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Our results of operations may also fluctuate from quarter to quarter as a result of the amount and timing of orders placed and shipped to customers, as well as other factors. The fulfillment of orders can therefore significantly affect results of operations on a quarter-to-quarter basis.
We are currently developing and considering selling products other than those within the karaoke category during the slow season to fulfill the revenue shortfall.
INFLATION
Inflation has not had a significant impact on our operations. We generally have adjusted our prices to track changes in the Consumer Price Index since prices we charge are generally not fixed by long-term contracts.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, management is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that it believes are reasonable based on the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. The significant accounting policies which management believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include: accounts receivable allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves on inventory, deferred tax assets and our Macau income tax exemption.
COLLECTIBILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. Our allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management's estimates of the creditworthiness of our customers, current economic conditions and historical information, and, in the opinion of management, is believed to be an amount sufficient to respond to normal business conditions. Management sets 100% reserves for customers in bankruptcy and other reserves based upon historical collection experience. Should business conditions deteriorate or any major customer default on its obligations to the Company, this allowance may need to be significantly increased, which would have a negative impact on operations.
15
RESERVES ON INVENTORIES. We establish a reserve on inventory based on the expected net realizable value of inventory on an item-by-item basis when it is apparent that the expected realizable value of an inventory item falls below its original cost. A charge to cost of sales results when the estimated net realizable value of specific inventory items declines below cost. Management regularly reviews the Company's investment in inventories for such declines in value.
INCOME TAXES. Significant management judgment is required in developing our provision for income taxes, including the determination of foreign tax liabilities, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowances that might be required against the deferred tax assets. Management evaluates its ability to realize its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and adjusts its valuation allowance when it believes that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized.
We operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to audit in those jurisdictions. Because of the complex issues involved, any claims can require an extended period to resolve. In management's opinion, adequate provisions for potential income taxes in the jurisdiction have been made.
USE OF OTHER ESTIMATES. We make other estimates in the ordinary course of business relating to sales returns and allowances, warranty reserves, and reserves for promotional incentives. Historically, past changes to these estimates have not had a material impact on our financial condition. However, circumstances could change which may alter future expectations.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11 “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 requires that an unrecognized or portions of an unrecognized tax benefit be presented on the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward unless certain conditions exist. This amendment is to be applied prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the end of the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
