(unaudited)
| (1) | Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Audiovox Corporation and subsidiaries ("Audiovox" or the "Company") were prepared 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.
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 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2004.
A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is disclosed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2004 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K. There have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies subsequent to November 30, 2004.
The preparation of 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 amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in those financial statements as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. These judgments can be subjective and complex, and consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Significant estimates made by the Company include the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, recoverability of net deferred tax assets, valuation of long-lived assets, accrued sales incentives and warranty reserves.
The Company has one reportable segment ("Electronics") which is organized by product class. The Electronics Segment sells mobile electronics and consumer electronics, primarily to mass merchants, specialty retailers, new car dealers, original equipment manufacturers ("OEM"), independent installers of automotive accessories and the U.S. military to domestic and international customers.
On November 1, 2004, the Company completed the divestiture of its Cellular business (formerly known as "ACC", "Cellular" or "Wireless"). In addition, on February 25, 2005, the Company entered into a plan to discontinue ownership of the Company's majority-owned subsidiary, Audiovox Malaysia ("AVM"). Accordingly, the Company has presented the financial results of Cellular and AVM as discontinued operations for all periods presented (see Note 3). In addition, certain reclassifications have been made to the 2004 consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the current period presentation.
| (2) | Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation |
The Company applies the intrinsic value method as outlined in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB No. 25"), and related interpretations in accounting for stock options and share units granted under these programs. Under the intrinsic value method, no compensation expense is recognized if the exercise price of

the Company's employee or independent director's stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", requires that the Company provide pro-forma information regarding net income (loss) and net income (loss) per common share as if compensation cost for the Company's stock option programs had been determined in accordance with the fair value method prescribed therein. The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure" requiring more prominent pro-forma disclosures as described in SFAS No. 123. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per common share as if the Company had measured the compensation cost for the Company's stock option programs under the fair value method in each period presented:

| (3) | Discontinued Operations |
On February 25, 2005, the Company entered into a plan to discontinue ownership of the Company's majority owned subsidiary, AVM, and sell its ownership to the current minority interest shareholder. The Company has planned to discontinue ownership of AVM due to increased competition from non local OEM's and deteriorating credit quality of local customers. The Company plans to sell its remaining equity in AVM for $550 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, at which time the Company will be released from all of its Malaysian liabilities including bank obligations. As a result of the planned sale of AVM, the Company compared the carrying value of AVM's assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets to their estimated fair value. As a result of this review, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $408 within discontinued operations for the nine months ended August 31, 2005 as the carrying value of AVM's assets exceeded their estimated fair value.
On November 1, 2004, the Company completed the divestiture of its Cellular business (formerly known as "ACC" or "Wireless") to UTStarcom, Inc. In connection with the divestiture of Cellular, the Company recorded a receivable for the net working capital adjustment of $8,472, which has been included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at November 30, 2004. In addition, the Company was required to deposit 5% of the purchase price for Cellular in an escrow account, which was reflected as restricted cash on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at November 30, 2004. During the nine months ended August 31, 2005, the Company received the working capital adjustment and escrow amount in full.

Interest expense of $1,028 and $2,411 was allocated to discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2004, respectively. This allocation represents consolidated interest that cannot be attributed to other operations of the Company and such allocations were based on the required working capital needs of the Cellular business.
The Company had previously established valuation allowances for state net operating loss carryforwards as well as other deferred tax assets of Cellular. The net change in the total valuation allowance, which resulted from the utilization of previously fully reserved net operating loss carryforwards of Cellular, for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2004 was a

| (4) | Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share |
Basic net income (loss) per common share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
A reconciliation between the denominator of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share is as follows:

capital of Terk at the time of closing, plus contingent debentures with a maximum value of $9,280 based on the achievement of future revenue targets. The total purchase price, which includes a working capital adjustment of $1,730 and acquisition costs of $520, approximated $15,447. No amount has been recorded with respect to the debentures and any amount paid under the debentures would be recorded as additional goodwill.
The following summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:
| Assets acquired: | ||||||
| Accounts receivable | $ | 10,943 | ||||
| Inventory | 9,591 | |||||
| Prepaid expenses and other current assets | 293 | |||||
| Property, plant and equipment and other assets | 1,210 | |||||

| Bank obligations | 4,099 | |||||
| Total liabilities assumed | 18,349 | |||||
| Cash paid | $ | 15,447 | ||||
The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities acquired of $11,759 has been preliminarily allocated to goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price to assets and liabilities acquired is not final and is subject to the completion of an independent valuation study.
The results of operations of this acquisition have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purpose of this acquisition is to increase the Company's market share for satellite radio products as well as accessories for antennas and HDTV products.
The following unaudited pro-forma financial information for the nine months ended August 31, 2004 and 2005 represents the combined results of the Company's operations and Terk as if the Terk acquisition had occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2004.

In addition, the Company received distributions from ASA totaling $719 during the nine months ended August 31, 2005, which was recorded as a reduction to equity investments on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
| (10) | Bliss-tel Initial Public Offering |
On December 13, 2004, one of the Company's former equity investments, Bliss-tel Public Company Limited ("Bliss-tel"), issued 230,000,000 shares on the SET (Security Exchange of Thailand) for an offering price of 6.20 baht per share. Prior to the issuance of these shares, the Company was a 20% shareholder in Bliss-tel and, subsequent to the offering, the Company owns 30,000,000 shares (or approximately 13%) of Bliss-tel's outstanding stock. In addition, on July 21, 2005, the Company received 9,000,000 warrants ("the warrants") which may be exercised beginning on September 29, 2006, and expire on July 17, 2012. Each warrant is exercisable into one share of Bliss-tel common stock at an exercise price of 8 baht per share. As a result, the Company now accounts for the Bliss-tel investment as a trading security in accordance with FASB Statement No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" whereby the unrealized holding gains and losses on Bliss-tel stock and warrants are included in earnings.
As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded a net gain of $597 and $4,971 for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2005, respectively, representing the initial value of the Bliss-tel warrants and the change in value of the underlying stock and warrant during the period, which is included in other income on the accompanying statement of operations.
As of August 31, 2005, the Bliss-tel investment (including both the stock and warrants) had a quoted market value of $6,987 and is reflected within short-term investments on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
| (11) | Income Taxes |
Quarterly tax provisions are based upon an estimated annual effective tax rate per taxable entity, including evaluations of possible future events and transactions, and are subject to subsequent refinement or revision. When the Company is unable to estimate a part of its annual income or loss, or the related tax expense or benefit, the tax expense or benefit applicable to that item is reported in the interim period in which the income or loss occurs.
A reconciliation of the provision for (benefit of) income taxes from continuing operations computed at the Federal statutory rate to the reported provision for (benefit of) income taxes is as follows:

The effective benefit rate for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2005, was 44.9% and 136.9%, respectively, compared to an effective tax rate of 51.8% and 50.1% for the comparable prior period. The effective benefit rate for the nine months ended August 31, 2005 was primarily due to the favorable outcome of $3,307 in tax accrual reductions due to the completion of certain tax examinations for the years 1994 through 2000.

| (a) | Domestic Bank Obligations |
At November 30, 2004 and August 31, 2005, the Company has an unsecured credit line to fund the temporary short-term working capital needs of the domestic operations. This line expires on February 28, 2006 and allows aggregate borrowings of up to $25,000 at an interest rate of Prime (or similar designations) plus 1%. As of November 30, 2004 and August 31, 2005, no direct amounts are outstanding under this agreement.
| (b) | Euro Asset-Based Lending Obligation |
The Company has a 16,000 Euro accounts receivable factoring arrangement and a 6,000 Euro Asset Based Lending ("ABL") (finished goods inventory and non factored accounts receivable) credit facility for the Company's subsidiary, Audiovox Germany which expires on October 25, 2005 and is renewable on an annual basis. Selected accounts receivable are purchased from the Company on a non-recourse basis at 85% of face value and payment of the remaining 15% upon receipt from the customer of the balance of the receivable purchased. In respect of the ABL credit facility, selected finished goods are advanced at a 60% rate and non factored accounts receivables are advanced at a 50% rate. The rate of interest is the three months Euribor plus 2.5%, and the Company pays 0.4% of its gross

sales as a fee for the accounts receivable factoring arrangement. As of November 30, 2004 and August 31, 2005, the amount of accounts receivable and finished goods available for factoring exceeded the amounts outstanding under this obligation.
| (c) | Euro Term Loan Agreement |
On September 2, 2003, Audiovox Germany borrowed 12 million Euros under a new term loan agreement. This agreement was for a 5 year term loan with a financial institution consisting of two tranches. Tranche A is for 9 million Euros and Tranche B is for 3 million Euros. Tranche B has been fully repaid. Payments under Tranche A are due in monthly installments and interest accrues at 2.75% over the Euribor rate for Tranche A. Any amount repaid may not be reborrowed. The term loan becomes immediately due and payable if a change of control occurs without permission of the financial institution. In April 2005, the maturity of the term loan was prolonged to August 30, 2010 with a pre-payment option.
Audiovox Corporation guarantees 3 million Euros of this term loan. The term loan is secured by the pledge of the stock of Audiovox German Holdings GmbH and on all brands and trademarks of the Audiovox German Holdings Group. The term loan requires the maintenance of certain yearly financial covenants that are calculated according to German Accounting Standards for Audiovox German Holdings. Should any of the financial covenants not be met, the financial institution may charge a higher interest rate on any outstanding borrowings. The short and long term amounts outstanding under this agreement were $2,497 and $6,880, respectively, at November 30, 2004 and $1,407 and $5,747, respectively, at August 31, 2005.
| (d) | Other Debt |
This amount is the accumulated compensation obligation resulting from the rights under the call put option granted to certain employees of Audiovox Germany and is included in long term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
| (15) | Contingencies and Legal Matters |
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 the specific litigation matters disclosed below will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements, individually or in the aggregate.
During the fourth quarter of 2004, several purported derivative and class actions were filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County. On January 10, 2005, Vice Chancellor Steven Lamb of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, granted an order permitting the filing of a Consolidated Complaint by several shareholders of Audiovox Corporation derivatively on behalf of Audiovox Corporation against Audiovox Corporation, ACC and the directors of Audiovox Corporation captioned "In Re Audiovox Corporation Derivative Litigation". The complaint seeks (a) rescission of: agreements; amendments to long-term incentive awards; and severance payments pursuant to which Audiovox and ACC executives were paid from the net proceeds of the sale of certain assets of ACC to UTStarcom, Inc., (b) disgorgement to ACC of $16,000 paid to Philip Christopher pursuant to a Personally Held Intangibles Purchase Agreement in connection with the
17

UTStarcom transaction, (c) disgorgement to Audiovox of $4,000 paid to Philip Christopher as compensation for termination of his Employment Agreement and Award Agreement with ACC, (d) disgorgement to ACC of $1,916 paid to John Shalam pursuant to an Award Agreement with ACC, and (e) recovery by ACC of $5,000 in severance payments distributed by Philip Christopher to ACC's former employees. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, which was withdrawn. The Company understands that the individual defendants intend to vigorously defend this matter; however, no assurances regarding the outcome of this matter can be given at this point in the litigation. The Company anticipates that defense costs, in excess of any applicable retention, will be covered by the Company's insurance policies. Any damages recovered by plaintiffs will be paid to the Company. Accordingly, no estimated loss has been recorded for the aforementioned case.
During the third quarter of 2004, an arbitration proceeding was commenced by the Company and several of its subsidiaries against certain Venezuelan employees and two Venezuelan companies ("Respondents") before the American Arbitration Association, International Centre in New York, New York, seeking recovery of monies alleged to have been wrongfully taken by individual Respondents and damages for fraud. Respondents asserted counterclaims alleging that the Company engaged in certain business practices that caused damage to Respondents. The matter was submitted to mediation during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 and settled subsequent to year end. The agreement provides, in pertinent part, for a payment (to be made upon satisfaction of certain pre-closing conditions) from the Company to the Respondents of $1,700 in consideration of which the Company will acquire all of Respondents' ownership. In addition, the Company and Respondents will release all claims. As of August 31, 2005, $250 was paid to the Respondents and the remaining balance, which is included in restricted cash on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, will be released upon satisfaction of the aforementioned pre-closing conditions. The Company recorded a $400 reduction to general and administrative expenses during the nine months ended August 31, 2005 as a result of a legal claim which was withdrawn from the court.
The consolidated class actions transferred to a Multi-District Litigation Panel of the United States District Court of the District of Maryland against the Company and other suppliers, manufacturers and distributors of hand-held wireless telephones alleging damages relating to exposure to radio frequency radiation from hand-held wireless telephones is still pending. On March 16, 2005, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reversed the District Court's order dismissing the complaints on grounds of federal pre-emption. The Fourth Circuit remanded the actions to each of their respective state courts, except for the Naquin litigation which was remanded to the local Federal Court. Defendants intend to file a petition for certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court. No assurances regarding the outcome of this matter can be given, as the Company is unable to assess the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and estimated loss or liability, if any. Accordingly, no estimated loss has been recorded for the aforementioned case.
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 its suppliers or distributors, of third partys patents, trade secrets, trademarks or copyrights. Any claims relating to the infringement of third-party proprietary rights, even if not meritorious, could result in costly litigation, divert managements 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.

Under the asset purchase agreement for the sale of the Cellular business to UTStarcom, Inc. ("UTSI"), the Company agreed to indemnify UTSI for any breach or violation by ACC and its representations, warranties and covenants contained in the asset purchase agreement and for other matters, subject to certain limitations. Significant indemnification claims by UTSI could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition. The Company is not aware of any such claim(s) for indemnification.
| (16) | New Accounting Pronouncements |
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123R ("Statement 123R"), "Share Based Payment". Statement 123R is a revision of FAS Statement 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock issued to Employees" (APB No. 25). Statement 123R requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services recognized in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). Statement 123R is effective the first annual period that begins after June 15, 2005 or the Company's first quarter of fiscal 2006. The adoption of Statement 123R will rescind the Company's current accounting for stock based compensation under the intrinsic method as outlined in APB No. 25. Under APB No. 25, the issuance of stock options to employees generally resulted in no compensation expense to the Company. The adoption of Statement 123R will require the Company to measure the cost of stock options based on the grant-date fair value of the award as discussed in Note 2.

Business Overview and Strategy
The Company through its four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Audiovox Electronics Corporation, American Radio Corp., Code Systems, Inc. ("Code") and Audiovox German Holdings GmbH and three majority-owned subsidiaries: Audiovox Communications (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd., Audiovox Holdings (M) Sdn. Bhd. and Audiovox Venezuela, C.A. markets its products under the Audiovox® brand name and other brand names, such as Jensen®, Prestige®, Pursuit®, Rampage™, Code-Alarm®, Car Link®, Movies 2 Go®, Magnate®, Mac Audio®, Heco®, Acoustic Research®, Advent®, and Phase Linear®, as well as private labels through a large and diverse distribution network both domestically and internationally.
On November 1, 2004, the Company completed the divestiture of its Cellular business (formerly known as "ACC", "Cellular" or "Wireless"). In addition, on February 25, 2005, the Company entered into a plan to discontinue ownership of the Company's majority-owned subsidiary, Audiovox Malaysia ("AVM"). Accordingly, the Company has presented the financial results of Cellular and AVM as discontinued operations for all periods presented (see Note 3 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). In addition, certain reclassifications have been made to the 2004 consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the current period presentation.
On January 4, 2005, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Audiovox Electronics Corporation, signed an asset purchase agreement to purchase certain assets of Terk Technologies Corp. ("Terk"). The purpose of this acquisition is to increase the Company's market share for satellite radio products as well as accessories for antennas and HDTV products. The purchase price is subject to a working capital adjustment based on the working capital of Terk at the time of closing, plus contingent debentures with a maximum value of $9,280 based on the achievement of future revenue targets. The total purchase price, which includes a working capital adjustment of $1,730 and acquisition costs of $520, approximated $15,447. The results of operations of this acquisition have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition (see Note 7 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Management reviews the financial results of the Company based on the performance of the Electronics Group and Administrative Group. The Electronics Group is comprised of operating subsidiaries that sell mobile and consumer electronics. The Administrative Group consists of treasury, legal, human resources, Information Technology ("IT") and accounting services that are provided to the Electronics Group. In prior years, the Electronics Group had three sales categories (Mobile, Consumer and Sound). Based on the current marketplace and management's overall assessment of the Company, the sales categories have been reclassified into Mobile Electronics and Consumer Electronics, therefore eliminating the Sound category.
