Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
(1)
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries ("Voxx" or the "Company") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented. The results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any interim period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
February 28, 2018
. The Company's financial statements for the prior periods presented herein have been recast to reflect a certain business that was classified as discontinued operations during the second quarter of Fiscal 2018. See Note 2 for additional information. Net loss per share amounts for continuing and discontinued operations are computed independently. As a result, the sum of the per share amounts may not equal the total.
We operate in
three
reportable segments, Automotive, Premium Audio and Consumer Accessories. See Note 22 for the Company's segment reporting disclosures.

Acquisitions and Dispositions
Rosen Electronics LLC
On April 18, 2017, Voxx acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Rosen Electronics LLC for cash consideration of

2%
fee related to future net sales of Rosen products for three years, which resulted in contingent consideration of
$530
.
Rosen's results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purpose of this acquisition was to increase the Company's market share and strengthen its intellectual property related to the rear seat entertainment market.
The following summarizes the final allocation of the purchase price for the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

Hirschmann Car Communication GmbH
On August 31, 2017 (the "Closing Date"), the Company completed its sale of Hirschmann Car Communication GmbH and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Hirschmann”) to a subsidiary of TE Connectivity Ltd ("TE"). The consideration received by the Company was €
148,500
. The purchase price, at the exchange rate as of the close of business on the Closing Date

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, continued
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
approximated
$177,000
, and is subject to adjustment based upon the final working capital. VOXX International (Germany) GmbH, the Company's German wholly-owned subsidiary, was the selling entity in this transaction.
The Hirschmann subsidiary group, which was included within the Automotive segment, qualified to be presented as a discontinued operation in accordance with ASC 205-20 beginning in the Company's Fiscal 2018 second quarter ending August 31, 2017. Voxx will not have any continuing involvement in the Hirschmann business subsequent to the Closing Date. Hirschmann and TE will not be related parties of the Company after the deconsolidation of Hirschmann.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the major financial lines constituting the results of operations for discontinued operations to the net income from discontinued operations, net of tax, presented separately in the

Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share
Basic net (loss) income per common share from continuing operations, net of non-controlling interest, is based upon the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
net (loss) income
per common share from continuing operations, net of non-controlling interest reflects the potential dilution that would occur if common stock equivalent securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
There are
no
reconciling items which impact the numerator of basic and diluted
net (loss) income
common share. A reconciliation between the denominator of basic and diluted
net (loss) income
per common share is as follows:

for the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
and
2017
, respectively, were not included in the
net (loss) income
per diluted share calculation because the exercise price of these stock options and warrants was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during these periods, or the inclusion of these components would have been anti-dilutive.

As required, in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 the Company adopted ASU 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” ("ASU 2016-01"), which requires changes to the accounting for financial instruments that affect the Company’s equity investments and the presentation and disclosure for such instruments. Marketable equity securities previously classified as available-for-sale equity investments are now measured and recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. The impact of adopting ASU 2016-01 resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment of
$24
, which was recorded in other income (expense) in the
Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income
for the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
, rather than in retained earnings, as it was not considered material to the Company's consolidated financial statements for the period.
Mutual Funds
The Company’s mutual funds are held in connection with its deferred compensation plan. Changes in the carrying value of these securities are offset by changes in the corresponding deferred compensation liability.
In determining whether equity securities are other than temporarily impaired ("OTTI"), the Company considers its intent and ability to hold a security for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of cost, along with factors including the length of time each security had been in an unrealized loss position, the extent of the decline and the near-term prospect for recovery. Additionally, on a quarterly basis, the Company is required to make a qualitative assessment of whether the investment is impaired.
No
impairment losses were incurred by the Company during the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
or
2017
. Additionally, upon adoption of ASU 2016-01, changes in fair value of equity securities are now recorded within the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and as such, OTTI considerations are no longer made with respect to equity securities.
Investment Held at Cost, Less Impairment

VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, continued
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
The Company's investment held at cost, less impairment, represents an investment in Fathom Systems Inc. ("Fathom"), a non-controlled corporation. On
July 31, 2017
, RxNetworks, a Canadian company in which Voxx held a cost method investment consisting of shares of the investee's preferred stock, was sold to a third party. In consideration for its holdings in RxNetworks on July 31, 2017, Voxx received cash, as well as a proportionate share of the value (consisting of preferred stock) in Fathom, a newly formed entity, formerly a subsidiary of RxNetworks. On March 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-01. This guidance requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Since it does not have a readily determinable market value, the Company has elected to measure its investment in Fathom at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment.
No
adjustments have been made to the value of the Company’s investment in Fathom for the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
either due to impairment or based on observable price changes. The Company monitors any events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of this investment and makes any necessary adjustments. As of
May 31, 2018
, the Company's investment in Fathom totaled
$540
, or
8.1%
of the outstanding shares of this company.
During Fiscal 2018, the Company had an investment in 360fly, Inc., consisting of shares of the investee's preferred stock. The Company also issued a total of five senior secured notes to 360fly, Inc. during the fiscal year. One of the notes issued to the investee on
February 28, 2018
was issued in the amount of, and in exchange for, the outstanding equity investment held by the Company on that date and as a result of this loan, all of the preferred stock shares of 360fly, Inc. owned by Voxx were canceled and the Company had
no
remaining investment in the equity of 360fly, Inc. as of
May 31, 2018
or
February 28, 2018
. Interest on all of the notes accrues at
8%
. The notes are due on August 31, 2019 and are convertible into equity at the option of the Company only. The total outstanding balance of the notes receivable from 360fly, Inc. at
May 31, 2018
and
February 28, 2018
, net of allowances, is
$12,588
and
$10,888
, respectively, and is included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

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

This balance represents an investment in a non-controlled corporation held at cost, less impairment (see Note 4). The fair value of this investment would be based upon Level 3 inputs.
The carrying amount of the Company's accounts receivable, short-term debt, accounts payable, accrued expenses, bank obligations and long-term debt approximates fair value because of (i) the short-term nature of the financial instrument; (ii) the interest rate on the financial instrument being reset every quarter to reflect current market rates; or (iii) the stated or implicit interest rate approximates the current market rates or are not materially different from market rates.
Derivative Instruments
The Company's derivative instruments include forward foreign currency contracts utilized to hedge a portion of its foreign currency inventory purchases. The forward foreign currency derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting are designated as cash flow hedges and valued using observable forward rates for the same or similar instruments (Level 2). The duration of open forward foreign currency contracts ranges from
1 month
-
9 months
and are classified in the balance sheet according to their terms. The Company also has an interest rate swap agreement as of
May 31, 2018
that hedges interest rate exposure related to the forecasted outstanding balance of its Florida Mortgage, with monthly payments due through March 2026. The swap agreement locks the interest rate on the debt at
3.48%
(inclusive of credit spread) through the maturity date of the loan. Interest rate swap agreements qualifying for hedge accounting are designated as cash flow hedges and valued based on a comparison of the change in fair value of the actual swap contracts designated as the hedging instruments and the change in fair value of a hypothetical swap contract (Level 2). We calculate the fair value of interest rate swap agreements quarterly based on the quoted market price for the same or similar financial instruments. Interest rate swaps are classified in the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities based on the fair value of the instruments at the end of the period.
It is the Company's policy to enter into derivative instrument contracts with terms that coincide with the underlying exposure being hedged. As such, the Company's derivative instruments are expected to be highly effective. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, is recognized as incurred through other income (expense) in the Company's
Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income
and amounted to
$33
for the
three months ended

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has various stock-based compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 1 of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
February 28, 2018
.
A restricted stock award is an award of common stock that is subject to certain restrictions during a specified period. Restricted stock awards are independent of option grants and are subject to forfeiture if employment terminates for a reason other than death, disability or retirement, prior to the release of the restrictions. The Company has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP), which was established in Fiscal 2014. Shares are granted based on certain performance criteria and vest on the later of three years from the date of grant, or the grantee reaching the age of 65 years. The shares will also vest upon termination of the grantee's employment by the Company without cause, provided that the grantee, at the time of termination, has been employed by the Company for at least 10 years, or as a result of the sale of all of the issued and outstanding stock, or all, or substantially all, of the assets of the subsidiary of which the grantee serves as CEO and/or President. When vested shares are issued to the grantee, the awards will be settled in shares or in cash, at the Company's sole option. The grantee cannot transfer the rights to receive shares before the restricted shares vest. There are no market conditions inherent in the award, only an employee performance requirement, and the service requirement that the respective employee continues employment with the Company through the vesting date.

Income Taxes
For the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
, the Company recorded an income tax benefit from continuing operations of
$1,113
, which includes a discrete income tax benefit of
$27
related to the accrual of interest for unrecognized tax benefits. For the
three months ended
May 31, 2017
, the Company recorded an income tax benefit from continuing operations of
$7,428
, which includes a discrete income tax provision of
$11
related to the accrual of interest for unrecognized tax benefits.
The effective tax rates for the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
and
May 31, 2017
were an income tax benefit from continuing operations of
30.4%
and an income tax benefit of
73.5%
, respectively. The effective tax rate for the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
differs from the U.S. statutory rate of
21%
primarily due to the non-controlling interest related to EyeLock LLC, state and local income taxes, nondeductible permanent differences, income taxed in foreign jurisdictions at varying tax rates, and the expected realization of certain deferred tax assets based on forecasted taxable income including deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite-lived intangible assets. Due to the modification providing for an indefinite carryforward of net operating losses arising in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, future net operating losses are limited to
80%
of taxable income in any given year, which limits the available source of taxable income provided by these deferred tax liabilities.
At
May 31, 2018
, the Company had an uncertain tax position liability from continuing operations of
$2,163
, including interest and penalties. The unrecognized tax benefits include amounts related to various U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign tax issues.
On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB No. 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA"). The purpose of SAB No. 118 was to address
20
VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, continued
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
any uncertainty or diversity of view in applying ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes in the reporting period in which the TCJA was enacted. SAB No. 118 addresses situations in which the accounting is incomplete for certain income tax effects of the TCJA upon issuance of a company’s financial statements for the reporting period that includes the enactment date. SAB No. 118 allows for a provisional amount to be recorded if it is a reasonable estimate of the impact of the TCJA. Additionally, SAB No. 118 allows for a measurement period to finalize the impacts of the TCJA, not to extend beyond one year from the date of enactment. The Company’s accounting for certain elements of the TCJA was incomplete as of the year ended February 28, 2018, and remains incomplete as of the quarter May 31, 2018; however, the Company was able to make reasonable estimates of the effects, and therefore, recorded provisional estimates for these items at
May 31, 2018

. The balance above represents amounts that would reduce the value of inventory returned to the Company and has been reclassified to the return asset in order to properly reflect the value of the inventory the Company expects to receive back from customers.

Domestic Credit Facility
The Company has a senior secured credit facility (the "Credit Facility") that provides for a revolving credit facility with committed availability of up to
$140,000
, which may be increased, at the option of the Company, up to a maximum of
$175,000
, and a term loan in the amount of
$15,000
. The Credit Facility also includes a
$15,000
sublimit for letters of credit and a
$15,000
sublimit for swingline loans. The availability under the revolving credit line within the Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base, which is based on eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and certain real estate, subject to reserves as determined by the lender, and is also limited by amounts outstanding under the Florida Mortgage (see Note 16(b)). In conjunction with the sale of Hirschmann on August 31, 2017 (see Note 2), the Company paid down substantially all of the outstanding balance of the revolving credit facility, as well as the entire outstanding balance of the term loan, which is not renewable. As of
May 31, 2018
, there was
no
balance outstanding under the revolving credit facility. The availability under the revolving credit line of the Credit Facility was
$84,239
as of
May 31, 2018
.
All amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility will mature and become due on April 26, 2021; however, it is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Company may prepay any amounts outstanding at any time, subject to payment of certain breakage and redeployment costs relating to LIBOR Rate Loans. The commitments under the Credit Facility may be irrevocably reduced at any time, without premium or penalty as set forth in the agreement.
Generally, the Company may designate specific borrowings under the Credit Facility as either Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, except that swingline loans may only be designated as Base Rate Loans. Loans designated as LIBOR Rate Loans bear interest at a rate equal to the then applicable LIBOR rate plus a range of
1.75
-
2.25%
. Loans designated as Base Rate loans bear interest at a rate equal to the applicable margin for Base Rate Loans of
0.75
-
1.25%
as defined in the agreement. As of
May 31, 2018
, the weighted average interest rate on the facility was
5.50%
.
The Credit Facility requires compliance with a financial covenant calculated as of the last day of each month, consisting of a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. The Credit Facility also contains covenants that limit the ability of the loan parties and certain of their subsidiaries which are not loan parties to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) incur liens; (iii) merge, consolidate or dispose of a substantial portion of their business; (iv) transfer or dispose of assets; (v) change their name, organizational identification number, state or province of organization or organizational identity; (vi) make any material change in their nature of business; (vii) prepay or otherwise acquire indebtedness; (viii) cause any change of control; (ix) make any Restricted Junior Payment; (x) change their fiscal year or method of accounting; (xi) make advances, loans or investments; (xii) enter into or permit any transaction with an affiliate of any borrower or any of their subsidiaries; (xiii) use proceeds for certain items; (xiv) issue or sell any of their stock; or (xv) consign or sell any of their inventory on certain terms. In addition, if excess availability under the Credit Facility were to fall below certain specified levels, as defined in the agreement, the lenders would have the right to assume dominion and control over the
22
VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, continued
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
Company's cash. As of
May 31, 2018
, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants, including cash dominion.
The obligations under the loan documents are secured by a general lien on and security interest in substantially all of the assets of the borrowers and certain of the guarantors, including accounts receivable, equipment, real estate, general intangibles and inventory. The Company has guaranteed the obligations of the borrowers under the Credit Agreement.
Charges incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility during the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
totaled
$147
, compared to
$61
during the
three months ended
May 31, 2017
. These charges are included within interest and bank charges on the
Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income
.
The Company has deferred financing costs related to the Credit Facility and a previous amendment and modification of the Credit Facility. These deferred financing costs are included in long-term debt on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as a contra-liability balance and are amortized through interest and bank charges in the
Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income
over the five-year term of the Credit Facility. During both the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
and
2017
, the Company amortized
$198
of these costs. The net unamortized balance of these deferred financing costs as of
May 31, 2018
is
$2,213
.
(b)
Florida Mortgage
On July 6, 2015, VOXX HQ LLC, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, closed on a
$9,995
industrial development revenue tax exempt bond under a loan agreement in favor of the Orange County Industrial Development Authority (the “Authority”) to finance the construction of the Company's manufacturing facility and executive offices in Lake Nona, Florida. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo") was the purchaser of the bond and U.S. Bank National Association is the trustee under an Indenture of Trust with the Authority. Voxx borrowed the proceeds of the bond purchase from the Authority during construction as a revolving loan, which converted to a permanent mortgage upon completion of the facility in January 2016 (the "Florida Mortgage"). The Company makes principal and interest payments to Wells Fargo, which began March 1, 2016 and will continue through March of 2026. The Florida Mortgage bears interest at
70%
of 1-month LIBOR plus
1.54%
(
3.52%
at
May 31, 2018
) and is secured by a first mortgage on the property, a collateral assignment of leases and rents and a guaranty by the Company. The financial covenants of the Florida Mortgage are as defined in the Company’s Credit Facility with Wells Fargo dated April 26, 2016.
The Company incurred debt financing costs totaling approximately
$332
as a result of obtaining the Florida Mortgage, which are recorded as deferred financing costs and included in Long-term Debt as a contra-liability balance on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and are being amortized through interest and bank charges in the
Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income
over the ten-year term of the Florida Mortgage. The Company amortized
$8
of these costs during the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
and
$7
during the
three months ended
May 31, 2017
, respectively. The net unamortized balance of these deferred financing costs as of
May 31, 2018
is
$241
.
On July 20, 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement in order to hedge interest rate exposure related to the Florida Mortgage and pays a fixed rate of
3.48%
under the swap agreement (See Note 4).
(c)
Euro Asset-Based Lending Obligation
Foreign bank obligations include a Euro accounts receivable factoring arrangement, which has a credit limit of up to
60%
of eligible non-factored accounts receivable (see Note 9), and a Euro Asset-Based Lending ("ABL") credit facility, which has a credit limit of
€8,000
and expires on
July 31, 2020
for the Company's subsidiary, VOXX Germany. The rate of interest for the factoring arrangement is the three-month Euribor plus
1.6%
(
1.25%
at
May 31, 2018
) and the rate of interest for the ABL is the three-month Euribor plus
2.3%

Foreign Currency
The Company has a subsidiary in Venezuela. Venezuela is currently experiencing significant political and civil unrest and economic instability and has implemented various foreign currency and price controls. The country has also experienced high rates of inflation over the last several years. The President of Venezuela has the authority to legislate certain areas by decree, which allows the government to nationalize certain industries or expropriate certain companies and property. These factors have had a negative impact on our business and our financial condition. In 2003, Venezuela created the Commission of Administration of Foreign Currency ("CADIVI") which establishes and administers currency controls and their associated rules and regulations. These controls include creating a fixed exchange rate between the Bolivar Fuerte and the U.S. Dollar, and the ability to restrict the exchange of Bolivar Fuertes for U.S. Dollars and vice versa. On March 1, 2010, the Company transitioned to hyper-inflationary accounting for Venezuela in accordance with the guidelines in ASC 830, "Foreign Currency." A hyper-inflationary economy designation occurs when a country has experienced cumulative inflation of approximately 100 percent or more over a 3-year period. The hyper-inflationary designation requires the local subsidiary in Venezuela to record all transactions as if they were denominated in U.S. dollars.
Since January 2014, the Venezuelan government has created multiple alternative exchange rates designated to be used for the purchase of goods and services deemed non-essential. In March 2016, the former SIMADI exchange rate was replaced by the DICOM, a new floating exchange rate for non-essential imports. The Venezuelan government reported that the DICOM exchange rate would be allowed to float to meet market needs. In January 2018, the Venezuelan government eliminated the official government DIPRO exchange rate, stating that all currency transactions would now be carried out at the DICOM rate. As of
May 31, 2018
and
2017
, the DICOM rate was deemed to be the appropriate rate to use for remeasuring its Venezuelan subsidiary’s financial statements. As of
May 31, 2018
, the DICOM rate offered was approximately
80,000
bolivars to the U.S. dollar. Total net currency exchange losses of
$(3)
were recorded for the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
for Venezuela, as compared to
$(84)
for the
three months ended
May 31, 2017
, and are included in other income (expense) on the

.

Variable Interest Entities
A variable interest entity ("VIE") is an entity that either (i) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (ii) has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Under ASC 810, an entity that holds a variable interest in a VIE and meets certain requirements would be considered to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and required to consolidate the VIE in its consolidated financial statements. In order to be considered the primary beneficiary of a VIE, an entity must hold a variable interest in the VIE and have both:
25
VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, continued
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
•
the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE; and
•
the right to receive benefits from, or the obligation to absorb losses of, the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE.
On September 1, 2015, Voxx acquired a majority voting interest in substantially all of the assets and certain specified liabilities of EyeLock, Inc. and EyeLock Corporation, a market leader of iris-based identity authentication solutions, through a newly-formed entity, EyeLock LLC. In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with EyeLock LLC. The terms of the Loan Agreement allowed EyeLock LLC to borrow funds for working capital purposes. During Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2018, the Company issued four convertible promissory notes to EyeLock LLC, allowing the entity to borrow additional funds. On April 1, 2018, all outstanding promissory notes were amended and restated with Voxx issuing a consolidated convertible promissory note to EyeLock LLC to borrow up to
$39,000
. The promissory note bears interest at
10%
and can be used to repay protective advances and to fund working capital requirements of the company. The amended and restated promissory note is due on February 28, 2019. The outstanding principal balance of this promissory note is convertible at the sole option of Voxx into units of EyeLock LLC. If Voxx chooses not to convert into equity, the outstanding loan principal of the amended and restated promissory note will be repaid at a multiple of
1.50
based on the repayment date. The agreement includes customary events of default and is collateralized by all of the property of EyeLock LLC.
We determined that we hold a variable interest in EyeLock LLC as a result of:
•
our majority voting interest and ownership of substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of the entity; and
•
the loan agreement with EyeLock LLC, which has a total outstanding balance of
$37,106
as of
May 31, 2018
.
We concluded that we became the primary beneficiary of EyeLock LLC on September 1, 2015 in conjunction with the acquisition. This was the first date on which we had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity because we acquired a majority interest in substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of EyeLock, Inc. and EyeLock Corporation on this date, as well as obtained a majority voting interest as a result of this transaction. Although we are considered to have control over EyeLock LLC under ASC 810, due to our majority ownership interest, the assets of EyeLock LLC can only be used to satisfy the obligations of EyeLock LLC. As a result of our majority ownership interest in the entity and our primary beneficiary conclusion, we consolidated EyeLock LLC within our consolidated financial statements beginning on September 1, 2015.
Assets and Liabilities of EyeLock LLC

Revenue from Contract with Customers
On March 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all the related amendments (“ASC Topic 606”), using the modified retrospective method. In addition, we elected to apply certain of the permitted practical expedients within the revenue recognition guidance and make certain accounting policy elections, including those related to significant financing components, sales taxes and shipping and handling activities. Most of the changes resulting from the adoption of ASC Topic 606 on March 1, 2018 were changes in presentation within the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet. Therefore, while we made adjustments to certain opening balances on our March 1, 2018 Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet, we made no adjustment to opening Retained Earnings. We expect the impact of the adoption of ASC Topic 606 to be immaterial to our net income on an ongoing basis; however, adoption did increase the level of disclosures concerning our net sales. Results for reporting periods beginning March 1, 2018 are presented under the new guidance, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previous guidance without revision.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The core principle of ASC Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. We apply the FASB’s guidance on revenue recognition, which requires us to recognize the amount of revenue and consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for goods and services transferred to our customers. To do this, the Company applies the five-step model prescribed by the FASB, which requires us to: (i) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.
We account for a contract or purchase order when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. Revenue is recognized when control of the product passes to the customer, which is upon shipment, unless otherwise specified within the customer contract or on the purchase order as delivery, and is recognized at the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive for the products sold, including various forms of discounts. When revenue is recorded, estimates of returns are made and recorded as a reduction of revenue. Contracts with customers are evaluated to determine if there are separate performance obligations related to timing of product shipment that will be satisfied in different accounting periods. When that is the case, revenue is deferred until each performance obligation is met.
No
performance obligation related amounts were deferred as of
May 31, 2018
. Within our Automotive segment, while the majority of the contracts we enter into with Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEM”) are long-term supply arrangements, the performance obligations are established by the enforceable contract, which is generally considered to be the purchase order. The purchase orders are of durations less than one year. As such, the Company applies the practical expedient in ASC paragraph 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less, for which work has not yet been performed.

VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, continued
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
Certain taxes assessed by governmental authorities on revenue producing transactions, such as value added taxes, are excluded from revenue and recorded on a net basis.
Performance Obligations
The Company’s primary source of revenue is derived from the manufacture and distribution of premium audio, consumer accessories, and automotive products. Our consumer accessories products primarily consist of finished goods sold to retail customers, while our premium audio products primarily consist of finished goods sold to both retail and commercial customers. Our automotive products are sold both to OEM and aftermarket customers. The majority of the products sold to our automotive customers are manufactured by the Company. We recognize revenue for sales to our customers when transfer of control of the related good or service has occurred. All of our revenue was recognized under the point in time approach for the

. Contract terms with certain of our OEM customers could result in products and services being transferred over time as a result of the customized nature of some of our products, together with contractual provisions in the customer contracts that provide us with an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date; however, under typical terms, we do not have the right to consideration until the time of shipment from our manufacturing facilities or distribution centers, or until the time of delivery to our customers. If certain contracts in the future provide the Company with this enforceable right of payment, the timing of revenue recognition from products transferred to customers over time may be slightly accelerated compared to our right to consideration at the time of shipment or delivery.
Our typical payment terms vary based on the
customer and the type of goods and services in the contract or purchase order. The period of time between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. Amounts billed and due from our customers are classified as receivables on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet. As our standard payment terms are less than one year, we have elected the practical expedient under ASC paragraph 606-10-32-18 to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component.
Our customers take delivery of goods, and they are recognized as revenue at the time of transfer of control to the customer, which is usually at the time of shipment, unless otherwise specified in the customer contract or purchase order. This determination is based on applicable shipping terms, as well as the consideration of other indicators, including timing of when the Company has a present right to payment, when physical possession of products is transferred to customers, when the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset, and any provisions in contracts regarding customer acceptance.
While unit prices are generally fixed, we provide variable consideration for certain of our customers, typically in the form of promotional incentives at the time of sale. We utilize the most likely amount consistently to estimate the effect of uncertainty on the amount of variable consideration to which we would be entitled. The most likely amount method considers the single most likely amount from a range of possible consideration amounts. The most likely amounts are based upon the contractual terms of the incentives and historical experience with each customer. We record estimates for cash discounts, promotional rebates, and other promotional allowances in the period the related revenue is recognized (“Customer Credits”). The provision for Customer Credits is recorded as a reduction from gross sales and reserves for Customer Credits are presented within accrued sales incentives on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet. Actual Customer Credits have not differed materially from estimated amounts for each period presented. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are included in net sales and costs associated with shipping and handling are included in cost of sales. We have concluded that our estimates of variable consideration are not constrained according to the definition within the new standard. Additionally, the Company applies the practical expedient in ASC paragraph 606-10-25-18B and accounts for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as a fulfillment activity, rather than a separate performance obligation.
With the adoption of ASC Topic 606, we reclassified certain amounts related to variable consideration. Under ASC Topic 606, we are required to present a refund liability and a return asset within the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet, whereas in periods prior to adoption, we presented the estimated margin impact of expected returns as a contra-asset within accounts receivable. The changes in the refund liability are reported in net sales, and the changes in the return asset are reported in cost of sales in the
Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income
. As a result, the balance sheet presentation was adjusted beginning in Fiscal 2019. As of
May 31, 2018
, the balance of the return asset is
$1,654
and the balance of the refund liability is
$3,906
, and they are presented within prepaid expenses and other current assets and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, respectively, on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet.
We warrant our products against certain defects in material and workmanship when used as designed, which primarily range from 30 days to 3 years. We offer limited lifetime warranties on certain products, which limit the customer’s remedy to the repair or replacement of the defective product or part for the designated lifetime of the product, or for the life of the vehicle for the original owner, if it is an automotive product. We do not sell extended warranties.

Contract assets primarily relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date on contracts with customers. Contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional. Contract liabilities primarily relate to contracts where advance payments or deposits have been received, but performance obligations have not yet been met, and therefore, revenue has not been recognized. The Company has

contract assets or contract liability balances at

Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company operates in three reportable segments: Automotive, Premium Audio and Consumer Accessories. ASC Topic 606 requires further disaggregation of an entity’s revenue. In the following table, the Company's net sales are disaggregated accordingly for the

Contingencies
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 does not believe that any of its current outstanding litigation matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements, individually, or in the aggregate.
The Company has been a plaintiff in a counterfeit lawsuit with ePro ("the Defendant") in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On September 30, 2016, the judge in the lawsuit awarded the Company
$2,681
. On January 25, 2018, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the District Court judgment and denied the Defendant's petition for appeal. The Defendant's time to appeal to the United States Supreme Court has expired and the award is final as of May 31, 2018. The Company has recorded

The products the Company sells are continually changing as a result of improved technology. As a result, although the Company and its suppliers attempt to avoid infringing known proprietary rights, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims for alleged infringement by patent, trademark or other intellectual property owners. Any claims relating to the infringement of third-party proprietary rights, even if not meritorious, could result in costly litigation, divert management’s attention and resources, or require the Company to either enter into royalty or license agreements that are not advantageous to the Company, or pay material amounts of damages.

New Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The standard requires entities to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The new guidance also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements intended to provide users of financial statements comprehensive information about the nature, amounts, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a company's contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and in doing so, it is possible that more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than were required under previous guidance, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to separate performance obligations, among others. The new standard was effective for the Company beginning March 1, 2018. The FASB issued four subsequent standards in 2016 containing implementation guidance related to the new standard. These standards provided additional guidance related to principal versus agent considerations, licensing, and identifying performance obligations. Additionally, these standards provided narrow-scope improvements and practical expedients as well as technical corrections and improvements.
The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the modified retrospective method). The Company has adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method effective March 1, 2018. The adoption of ASC Topic 606 did not have a material impact on the Company's business process, internal controls, systems, consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. As such, a cumulative effective adjustment was not recorded to opening retained earnings. See Note 23 for information concerning the Company's revenue recognition policy.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," which amends certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. This amendment requires all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This standard was effective for the Company's quarter ended May 31, 2018 and did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-03,
“
Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” These amendments clarify the guidance in ASU No. 2016-01, on the following issues (among other things): Equity Securities without a Readily Determinable Fair Value-Discontinuation; Equity Securities without a Readily Determinable Fair Value Adjustments; Forward Contracts and Purchase Options; and Transition Guidance for Equity Securities without a Readily Determinable Fair Value. The amendments in this ASU are effective in conjunction with the adoption of ASU No. 2016-01. The adoption of these updates did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements (see Note 4).
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments," which addresses eight specific cash flow issues and is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is
32

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, continued
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
permitted. This standard was effective for the quarter ended May 31, 2018 and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory,” which is intended to improve the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. This update removes the current exception in GAAP prohibiting entities from recognizing current and deferred income tax expenses or benefits related to transfer of assets, other than inventory, within the consolidated entity. The current exception to defer the recognition of any tax impact on the transfer of inventory within the consolidated entity until it is sold to a third party remains unaffected. The amendments in this update are effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. This standard was effective for the quarter ended May 31, 2018 and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued
ASU No. 2016-18
,
"Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)"
to reduce
diversity in practice related to the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows. The revised guidance requires that amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The guidance will be applied on a retrospective basis beginning with the earliest period presented. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. This standard was effective for the quarter ended May 31, 2018 and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Clarifying the Definition of a Business," with the objective to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets versus businesses. The amendments in ASU 2017-01 provide a screen to determine when a set of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This screen is expected to reduce the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated. If the screen is not met, the amendments in ASU 2017-01 (i) require that to be considered a business, a set of assets and liabilities acquired must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output; and (ii) remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for transactions for which the acquisition date occurs before the issuance date of ASU 2017-01, only when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. This standard was effective for the quarter ended May 31, 2018 and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, "Compensation-Retirement Benefits: Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost." The new standard requires that an employer disaggregate the service cost component of net benefit cost. Also, these amendments provide guidance on how to present the service cost component and the other components of net benefit costs in the income statement and allow only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. This standard was effective for the quarter ended May 31, 2018 and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope of Modification Accounting," which amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements. The standard provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. Specifically, an entity would not apply modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those years. This standard was effective for the quarter ended May 31, 2018 and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Standards Issued Not Yet Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position
33
VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, continued
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. This amendment will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The Company will adopt this guidance beginning with its first quarter ended May 31, 2019. The Company has established a task force, comprised of multiple functional groups inside the Company and is currently in the process of evaluating critical components of ASC Topic 842 and the potential impact of the guidance on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Based on the preliminary work completed, the Company is considering the potential implications of the new standard in determining the discount rate to be used in valuing new and existing leases, procedural and operational changes that may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the guidance and all applicable financial statement disclosures required by the guidance, all of which are areas that could be impacted by adoption of the ASC. At this time, the Company has not completed its full evaluation; however, it believes the adoption of ASC Topic 842 will have a material impact on the total assets and total liabilities reported on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren’t measured at fair value through net income. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to record allowances rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they do today under the other-than-temporary impairment model. It also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. The amendment will affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The amendments should be applied on either a prospective transition or modified-retrospective approach depending on the subtopic. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." Under the new guidance, if a reporting unit's carrying value amount exceeds its fair value, an entity will record an impairment charge based on that difference. The impairment charge will be limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The standard eliminates today's requirement to calculate goodwill impairment using Step 2, which calculates an impairment charge by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount. The standard does not change the guidance on completing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairments tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities," which improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better align risk management activities in financial statements and make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for any interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this new pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." ASU 2018-02 was issued to address the income tax accounting treatment of the stranded tax effects within other comprehensive income due to the prohibition of backward tracing due to an income tax rate change that was initially recorded in other comprehensive income due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") on December 22, 2017, which changed the Company's income tax rate from 35% to 21%. The amendments to the ASU changed US GAAP whereby an entity may elect to reclassify the stranded tax effect from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The amendments of the ASU may be adopted in total or in part using a full retrospective or modified retrospective method. The amendments
34
VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, continued
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
of the ASU are effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the effect of ASU 2018-02 on its consolidated financial statements.
The effects of changes in tax laws are required to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. However, due to the complexity and significance of the TCJA’s provisions, the FASB issued ASU 2018-06,
"
Income Taxes (Topic 740),"
pursuant to
the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118), which allows companies to record the tax effects of the TCJA on a provisional basis based on a reasonable estimate, and then, if necessary, subsequently adjust such amounts during a limited measurement period as more information becomes available. The measurement period ends when a company has obtained, prepared, and analyzed the information necessary to finalize its accounting, but cannot extend beyond one year from enactment.

We believe our segments have expanding market opportunities with certain levels of volatility related to domestic and international markets, new car sales, increased competition by manufacturers, private labels, technological advancements, discretionary consumer spending and general economic conditions. Also, all of our products are subject to price fluctuations which could affect the carrying value of inventories and gross margins in the future.
Our objective is to continue to grow our business by acquiring new brands, embracing new technologies, expanding product development and applying this to a continued stream of new products that should increase gross margins and improve operating income. In addition, it is our intention to continue to acquire synergistic companies that would allow us to leverage our overhead,
37
penetrate new markets and expand existing product categories through our business channels. Notwithstanding the above, if the appropriate opportunity arises, the Company will explore the potential divestiture of a product line or business.
Acquisitions and Dispositions
On April 18, 2017, Voxx acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Rosen Electronics LLC for cash consideration of
$1,814
. In addition, the Company agreed to pay a 2% fee related to future net sales of Rosen products for three years. The purpose of this acquisition was to increase the Company's market share and strengthen its intellectual property related to the rear seat entertainment market. Details of the tangible and intangible assets acquired are outlined in Note 2 of this report.
On August 31, 2017 (the "Closing Date"), the Company completed its sale of Hirschmann Car Communication GmbH and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Hirschmann”) to a subsidiary of TE Connectivity Ltd ("TE"). The consideration received by the Company was €
148,500
. The purchase price, at the exchange rate as of the close of business on the Closing Date approximated
$177,000
and is subject to adjustment based upon the final working capital. The Hirschmann subsidiary group, which was included within the Automotive segment, qualified to be presented as a discontinued operation in accordance with ASC 205-20 beginning in the Company's Fiscal 2018 second quarter ending August 31, 2017. Financial results of the discontinued operation for the three months ended May 31, 2017 were as follows:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in those financial statements. These judgments can be subjective and complex, and consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates. Our most critical accounting policies and estimates relate to revenue recognition; sales incentives; accounts receivable reserves; inventory reserves; goodwill and other intangible assets; warranties; stock-based compensation; income taxes; and the fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities. A summary of the Company's critical accounting policies is identified in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
February 28, 2018
. Since

Automotive sales represented
39.3%
of the net sales for the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
, compared to
32.2%
in the prior year period. Within the Company's OEM manufacturing lines, there was an increase in sales during the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
as compared to the prior year, related to new headrest programs that began at the end of the third quarter of Fiscal 2018. Further, during Fiscal 2018, additional vehicle models were added to the Company's existing programs with Subaru and during the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
, the Company experienced an increase in sales related to these programs as a result of stronger year over year sales of these vehicles. As an offset to these increases, the Company experienced a decrease in automotive sales during the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
due to the continued decline in satellite radio sales, both as a result of most vehicles being built equipped with these products as standard vehicle options, as well as due to a significant sales promotion offered by the Company during the first quarter of Fiscal 2018 that did not repeat during the current fiscal period.
Premium Audio sales represented
32.1%
of our net sales for the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
, compared to
32.9%
in the respective prior year period. The decrease in sales is primarily due to several close out promotions on certain soundbar models and Bluetooth speakers offered in the prior year as a result of product overstock, as well as product phase outs to make room for newer product lines, which did not repeat in the current year. The Company also experienced a decrease in sales in its European market as a result of the timing of certain customer orders, as well as a change in its sales channel strategy with one of its e-commerce vendors that has temporarily delayed sales. As an offset to these decreases, the Company experienced a modest increase in sales of its home entertainment speakers during the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
due to new promotions offered during the current year period on existing product lines, as well as an increase in sales of the Company's newest lines of in-wall and in-ceiling architectural speaker products that began launching in the second half of Fiscal 2018.
Consumer Accessory sales represented
28.5%
of our net sales for the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
, compared to
34.8%
in the comparable prior year period. The Company experienced a decrease in sales of wireless speakers during the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
due in part to the timing of customer orders. One of the Company's major customers placed large orders during the first quarter of Fiscal 2018 and the timing of this order for the current year was placed earlier and was thus captured in the Company's Fiscal 2018 fourth quarter rather than in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019. Additionally, certain customers placed large load in orders of new wireless speaker product lines during the
three months ended
May 31, 2017, and certain promotional programs were offered that did not repeat in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, all contributing to an overall decrease in wireless speaker sales. The Company also saw a decrease in sales of reception products, such as antennas, primarily as a result of the phase out of older lines to make room for new reception products, as well as due to pricing competition. There was also a modest decrease in sales of hook-up products; remotes; headphones; digital audio products; and power products, such as cables and surge protectors, due to competition, changes in demand and changes in technology during the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
. Within the European market, the Company experienced a decrease in sales primarily as a result of a change in its sales channel strategy with one of its e-commerce vendors that has temporarily delayed sales. Offsetting these decrease was a slight increase in the Company's Project Nursery baby products, as well as its new karaoke product.

Gross margins in the Automotive segment decreased
270
basis points for the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
as compared to the prior year. The main driver of the margin decline was within the Company's OEM business. While OEM sales increased during the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
as a result of new headrest programs that started in the third quarter of Fiscal 2018, the sales from these programs earned lower margins in comparison to previous headrest programs. This was partially offset by a decrease in sales of lower margin products, such as satellite radio fulfillments during the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
.
Gross margins in the Premium Audio segment increased
710
basis points for the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
as compared to the prior year period. During the
three months ended
May 31, 2017, the segment experienced increases in sales of certain soundbar and Bluetooth speaker products as a result of heavy close out promotions; however, these promotions drove down margins for these products significantly in Fiscal 2018. Such promotions were not repeated during the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
and although sales of these products decreased for the period, their margins increased. The segment also experienced a modest increase in sales of its higher margin home entertainment speakers and systems. As an offset to these increases, the segment also experienced lower sales of its higher margin commercial speakers during the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
.
Gross margins in the Consumer Accessories segment decreased
100
basis points for the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
, as compared to the prior year period. For the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
, margins were negatively impacted by decreased sales of wireless speakers, which generate higher margins for the Company, as well as other high margin products, including reception and hookup products. Offsetting these decreases was an increase in margins related to remotes due to air freight charges incurred in the prior year related to a unanticipated significant demand for certain remote products during the
three months ended
May 31, 2017. Although sales of remote products decreased for the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
, the absence of these additional freight expenses caused an improvement to the segment's margins.

Total operating expenses have decreased for the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
as compared with the prior year period. Selling expenses decreased during the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
primarily due to lower salaries and commissions resulting from headcount reductions, lower bonus accruals and lower sales for the quarter. Advertising expenses decreased as a result of lower spending on certain public relations activities and the elimination of several display units that had been in use in the prior year period. Additionally, trade show related expenses decreased as a result of reduced spending on trade shows attended by the Company, as well as the decision not to attend certain other trade shows in the current year. As an offset to these decreases in selling expenses, the Company experienced an increase in online platform fees related to web advertising for online sales. Within general and
40
administrative expenses, the Company experienced a decrease in these expenses for the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
primarily as a result of a decline in professional expenses due to a favorable outcome in a lawsuit that resulted in the Company being reimbursed for certain professional fees and disbursements, as well as lower legal services during the period as compared to the prior year. There was also a decline in salaries, travel and entertainment, and office expenses as a result of headcount reductions, as well as cost cutting measures to reduce certain T&E and variable office spending. Within engineering and technical support, the Company experienced expense decreases during the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
primarily due to headcount reductions, as well as the timing of the completion of projects and the start of new ones, resulting in a net decrease to research and development expense.

three months ended
May 31, 2018
is due to the fact that the Company did not carry an outstanding balance on its Credit Facility during the period after repaying the entire outstanding balance of the Credit Facility following the sale of Hirschmann on August 31, 2017.
Equity in income of equity investees represents the Company's share of income from its 50% non-controlling ownership interest in ASA Electronics LLC and Subsidiaries ("ASA") and was relatively unchanged for the

as compared to the prior year.

Income from Discontinued Operations
On August 31, 2017, the Company completed its sale of Hirschmann to a subsidiary of TE. The consideration received by the Company was €
148,500
. The purchase price, at the exchange rate as of the close of business on August 31, 2017, approximated
$177,000
and is subject to adjustment based upon the final working capital. For the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
, there was
no
income from discontinued operations and
no
operating income, as all sales and operations relating to the discontinued operation ceased following the sale of Hirschmann on August 31, 2017. For the
three months ended
May 31, 2017
, income from discontinued operations consisted primarily of operating income of
$1,278
. Operating income for the Company's discontinued operation for the
three months ended
May 31, 2017
was comprised primarily of tuner and antenna sales.
Income Tax Provision
The effective tax rate for the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
was an income tax benefit of
30.4%
, compared to an income tax benefit of
73.5%
, in the comparable prior year period. The effective tax rate for the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
differs from the statutory rate of
21%
primarily due to the non-controlling interest related to EyeLock LLC, state and local income taxes, nondeductible permanent differences, income taxed in foreign jurisdictions at varying tax rates, and the expected realization of certain deferred tax assets based on forecasted income including deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite-lived intangible assets. Due to the modification providing for an indefinite carryforward of net operating losses arising in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, future net operating losses are limited to 80% of taxable income in any given year, which limits the available source of taxable income provided by these deferred tax liabilities.
41
The effective tax rate for the
three months ended
May 31, 2017
differed from the statutory rate of
35%
primarily due to a mix of domestic and foreign earnings, and an income tax provision resulting from the increase in deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite-lived intangibles.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Diluted Adjusted EBITDA per Common Share
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Diluted Adjusted EBITDA per common share are not financial measures recognized by GAAP. EBITDA represents net income (loss) attributable to VOXX International Corporation, computed in accordance with GAAP, before interest expense and bank charges, taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation expense. Depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation are non-cash items. Diluted Adjusted EBITDA per common share represents the Company's diluted earnings per common share based on Adjusted EBITDA.
We present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Diluted Adjusted EBITDA per common share in this Form 10-Q because we consider them to be useful and appropriate supplemental measures of our performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Diluted Adjusted EBITDA per common share help us to evaluate our performance without the effects of certain GAAP calculations that may not have a direct cash impact on our current operating performance. In addition, the exclusion of certain costs or gains relating to non-recurring events allows for a more meaningful comparison of our results from period-to-period. These non-GAAP measures, as we define them, are not necessarily comparable to similarly entitled measures of other companies and may not be an appropriate measure for performance relative to other companies. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Diluted Adjusted EBITDA per common share should not be assessed in isolation from, are not intended to represent, and should not be considered to be more meaningful measures than, or alternatives to, measures of operating performance as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows, Commitments and Obligations
As of
May 31, 2018
, we had working capital of
$167,172
which includes cash and cash equivalents of
$49,827
, compared with working capital of
$170,472
at
February 28, 2018
, which included cash and cash equivalents of
$51,740
. We plan to utilize our current cash position as well as collections from accounts receivable, the cash generated from our operations and the income on
42
our investments to fund the current operations of the business. However, we may utilize all or a portion of current capital resources to pursue other business opportunities, including acquisitions, or to further pay down our debt. As of
May 31, 2018
, we had cash amounts totaling
$391
held in foreign bank accounts,
none
of which would be subject to United States federal income taxes if made available for use in the United States. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provides a 100% participation exemption on dividends received from foreign corporations after January 1, 2018 as the United States has moved away from a worldwide tax system and closer to a territorial system for earnings of foreign corporations.
Operating activities provided cash of
$3,285
for the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
, principally due to a decrease in the Company's accounts receivables, which was offset by increases in receivables from vendors and decreases in accrued expenses and accrued sales incentives. For the
three months ended
May 31, 2017
, operating activities provided cash of
$427
due primarily to increases in the Company's accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities, which was offset by an increase in the Company's inventory and prepaid expenses.
Investing activities used cash of
$1,878
during the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
primarily as a result of the issuance of notes receivable to 360fly, Inc. (see Note 4). For the
three months ended
May 31, 2017
, investing activities used cash of
$4,620
, primarily as a result of capital additions, as well as the acquisition of Rosen Electronics LLC.
Financing activities provided cash of
$146
and
$3,890
during the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
and
May 31, 2017
, respectively, primarily due to borrowings of bank obligations, net of repayments.
The Company has a senior secured credit facility (the "Credit Facility") that provides for a revolving credit facility with committed availability of up to
$140,000
, which may be increased, at the option of the Company, up to a maximum of
$175,000
, and a term loan in the amount of
$15,000
. The Credit Facility also includes a
$15,000
sublimit for letters of credit and a
$15,000
sublimit for swingline loans. The availability under the revolving credit line within the Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base, which is based on eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and certain real estate, subject to reserves as determined by the lender, and is also limited by amounts outstanding under the Florida Mortgage (see Note 16(b)). In conjunction with the sale of Hirschmann on August 31, 2017 (see Note 2), the Company paid down substantially all of the outstanding balance of the revolving credit facility, as well as the entire outstanding balance of the term loan, which cannot be renewed. As of
May 31, 2018
, there was
no
balance outstanding under the revolving credit facility. The availability under revolving credit line of the Credit Facility was
$84,239
as of
May 31, 2018
.
All amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility will mature and become due on April 26, 2021; however, it is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Company may prepay any amounts outstanding at any time, subject to payment of certain breakage and redeployment costs relating to LIBOR Rate Loans. The commitments under the Credit Facility may be irrevocably reduced at any time, without premium or penalty as set forth in the agreement.
Generally, the Company may designate specific borrowings under the Credit Facility as either Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, except that Swingline Loans may only be designated as Base Rate Loans. Loans designated as LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the then applicable LIBOR rate plus a range of
1.75
-
2.25%
. Loans designated as Base Rate loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the applicable margin for Base Rate Loans of
0.75
-
1.25%
as defined in the agreement.
The Credit Facility requires compliance with a financial covenant calculated as of the last day of each month, consisting of a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. The Credit Facility also contains covenants that limit the ability of the loan parties and certain of their subsidiaries which are not loan parties to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) incur liens; (iii) merge, consolidate or dispose of a substantial portion of their business; (iv) transfer or dispose of assets; (v) change their name, organizational identification number, state or province of organization or organizational identity; (vi) make any material change in their nature of business; (vii) prepay or otherwise acquire indebtedness; (viii) cause any Change of Control; (ix) make any Restricted Junior Payment; (x) change their fiscal year or method of accounting; (xi) make advances, loans or investments; (xii) enter into or permit any transaction with an affiliate of any borrower or any of their subsidiaries; (xiii) use proceeds for certain items; (xiv) issue or sell any of their stock; or (xv) consign or sell any of their inventory on certain terms. In addition, if excess availability under the Credit Facility were to fall below certain specified levels, as defined in the agreement, the lenders would have the right to assume dominion and control over the Company's cash.
The obligations under the loan documents are secured by a general lien on and security interest in substantially all of the assets of the borrowers and certain of the guarantors, including accounts receivable, equipment, real estate, general intangibles and inventory. The Company has guaranteed the obligations of the borrowers under the Credit Agreement.

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

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Foreign Currency
Voxx conducts business in various non-U.S. countries, including Germany, Canada, Mexico, China, Denmark, the Netherlands, and France and thus is exposed to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates. A cumulative foreign currency translation loss of
$(15,047)
related to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet at
May 31, 2018
. The aggregate foreign currency transaction exchange rate gains/(losses) included in determining income before income taxes were
$335
for the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
compared to
$(832)
for the
three months ended
May 31, 2017
. For the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
, a uniform 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currency of our foreign operations would have resulted in a decrease in sales from continuing operations of approximately $1,900, and net income from continuing operations of approximately $160, respectively. The effects of foreign currency exchange rates on future results would also be impacted by changes in sales levels or local currency prices.
The Company continues to monitor the political and economic climate in Venezuela. Venezuela did not have any sales for the
three months ended
May 31, 2018
. Assets totaling
$33
invested in Venezuela as of
May 31, 2018
are cash related and would be subject to government foreign exchange controls. The Company maintains
$3,508
in real estate property in Venezuela that could be subject to government foreign exchange controls upon their ultimate sale, or as a result of additional currency restrictions.
