EMERSON RADIO CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 — BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2012 and the results of operations for the three month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes; actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and accordingly do not include all of the disclosures normally made in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 (“fiscal 2012”), included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, as amended, for fiscal 2012.

The results of operations for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for any other interim periods or for the full year ended March 31, 2013 (“fiscal 2013”).

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

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

Subsequent events have been evaluated through August 14, 2012.

Stock- Based Compensation

The Company measures compensation cost for stock-based compensation arrangements based on grant date fair value. The computed fair value is expensed ratably over the requisite vesting period as required by ASC Topic 718 “Compensation — Stock Compensation”. All outstanding stock based compensation arrangements issued by the Company were fully vested as of November 30, 2009. Consequently, the Company recorded no compensation costs during either of the three month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011.

Sales Allowance and Marketing Support Expenses

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

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

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

Basic and diluted earnings per share	$	.14	$	.12

NOTE 4 — SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Outstanding capital stock at June 30, 2012 consisted of common stock and Series A convertible preferred stock. The Series A convertible preferred stock is non-voting, has no dividend preferences and has not been convertible since March 31, 2002; however, it retains a liquidation preference.

At June 30, 2012, the Company had approximately 50,000 options outstanding with exercise prices ranging from $3.07 to $3.19.

NOTE 5 — INVENTORY

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. As of June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

	June 30, 2012			March 31, 2012
	(Unaudited)
Finished goods	$	9,940		$	11,347
Less inventory allowances		(72	)		(78	)
Net inventory	$	9,868		$	11,269

NOTE 6 — INCOME TAXES

The Company has no U.S. federal net operating loss carry forwards and some U.S. state net operating loss carry forwards included in net deferred tax assets that are available to offset future taxable income and can be carried forward for 20 years. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the net deferred tax assets will be realized through tax planning strategies available in future periods and through future profitable operating results. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be reduced or eliminated if certain tax planning strategies are not successfully executed or estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced. If management determines that the Company would not be able to realize all or part of the net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.

7

The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to expenses that are not deductible for federal income tax purposes, income and losses incurred in foreign jurisdictions and taxed at locally applicable tax rates, and state income taxes.

The Company is subject to examination and assessment by tax authorities in numerous jurisdictions. A summary of the Company’s open tax years is as follows as of June 30, 2012:

Jurisdiction	Open tax years
U.S. federal		2008-2011
States		2007-2011

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

NOTE 7 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

From time to time, Emerson engages in business transactions with The Grande Holdings Limited (Provisional Liquidators Appointed) and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (“Grande”). Set forth below is a summary of such transactions.

Controlling Shareholder

The Grande Holdings Limited (Provisional Liquidators Appointed) (“Grande”), a Bermuda corporation, has, together with S&T International Distribution Limited (“S&T”), Grande N.A.K.S. Ltd. and Christopher Ho (Chairman of Grande’s and Emerson’s Boards of Directors) (together with Grande, the “Reporting Persons”) filed, on July 5, 2012, a Schedule 13D/A with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) stating that, as of the filing date, the Reporting Persons (except Christopher Ho) had the shared power to vote and direct the disposition of 15,243,283 shares, or approximately 56.2%, of the outstanding common stock of Emerson, subject only to the rights granted to Deutsche Bank AG (“Deutsche Bank”) pursuant to a security agreement entered into between S&T and Deutsche Bank on January 20, 2010 in which S&T granted a security interest in an aggregate of 3,780,600 shares in Emerson common stock (the “Pledged Shares”) owned by S&T but pledged to Deutsche Bank for the purposes of securing obligations owing from Grande to Deutsche Bank (the “Secured Obligations”). The aforementioned Schedule 13D/A also states that, as of the filing date, the Reporting Persons are aware only of the sale of 391,199 of the Pledged Shares by Deutsche Bank and that they have not yet been able to verify whether, or to what extent, Deutsche Bank has taken any other actions in respect of the Pledged Shares. The Reporting Persons also are of the view that the Secured Obligations have already been settled and, therefore, S&T reportedly is seeking clarification of the basis on which Deutsche Bank has claimed beneficial ownership of the remaining 3,380,079 shares out of the remaining 3,389,401 Pledged Shares. On February 11, 2011, Deutsche Bank filed a Schedule 13G with the SEC stating that it had sole voting and sole dispositive power over the Pledged Shares, which represent approximately 12.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. On January 9, 2012, Deutsche Bank filed with the SEC a Form 4 Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership stating that, after sales by it of certain of the Pledged Shares, it beneficially owned 3,380,079 shares of Emerson’s common stock, and on February 10, 2012, Deutsche Bank filed with the SEC a Schedule 13G stating that it was the beneficial owner with sole voting and sole dispositive power of such shares. As a result of the foregoing, there are competing claims to 3,380,079 shares of Emerson’s common stock. Until further clarification is obtained, Emerson is unable to determine the beneficial ownership of such shares.

On May 31, 2011, upon application of a major creditor, the High Court of Hong Kong appointed Fok Hei Yu (who is also known by the anglicized name Vincent Fok), a current director, and Roderick John Sutton, both of FTI Consulting (Hong Kong) Limited (“FTI”), as Joint and Several Provisional Liquidators over Grande (the “Provisional Liquidators over Grande”). Accordingly, as of May 31, 2011, the directors of Grande no longer have the ability to exercise control over Grande or the power to direct the voting and disposition of the 15,243,283 shares reported to be owned by Grande. Instead, Mr. Fok, as a Provisional Liquidator over Grande, has such power.

Related Party Transactions

Rented Office Space in Hong Kong

The Company is billed for service charges from Brighton Marketing Limited, a subsidiary of Grande, and The Grande Properties Management Limited, a related party of Grande, in connection with the Company’s rented office space in Hong Kong. These charges totaled approximately $12,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 and approximately $39,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2011. Emerson owed Brighton Marketing Limited nil at June 30, 2012 and approximately $1,100 at June 30, 2011 pertaining to theses charges.

8

Consulting Services Provided to Emerson by one of its Directors

During the three months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, Emerson paid consulting fees of approximately $21,000 and $3,000, respectively, to Mr. Eduard Will, a director of Emerson, for work performed by Mr. Will related to strategy for the Kayne Litigation as more fully described in Note 9 – “Legal Proceedings – Kayne Litigation”, merger and acquisition research, as well as work related to the strategy for a shareholder derivative lawsuit that the Company settled in January 2011. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, Emerson paid expense reimbursements and advances, in the aggregate, of nil and approximately $18,000, respectively, to Mr. Will, related to this consulting work and his service as a director of Emerson. At June 30, 2012, the Company owed Mr. Will nil and at June 30, 2011, Mr. Will owed the Company approximately $15,500 related to these activities.

Other

During each of the three months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, Emerson invoiced Vigers Appraisal & Consulting Ltd., (“Vigers”), a related party of Grande, approximately $1,000 for usage of telephone and data lines maintained by Emerson. Vigers owed Emerson approximately $1,000 at both June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 related to this activity.

NOTE 8 — BORROWINGS

Short-term Borrowings

Letters of Credit – Beginning November 2010, the Company began utilizing Hang Seng Bank to issue letters of credit on behalf of the Company, as needed, on a 100% cash collateralized basis. At June 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $70,337. A like amount of cash, which was posted by the Company as collateral against these outstanding letters of credit, at June 30, 2012, has been classified by the Company as Restricted Cash on the balance sheet.

Long-term Borrowings

At June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, borrowings under long-term facilities consisted of the following (in thousands):

	June 30, 2012			March 31, 2012
	(Unaudited)
Capitalized lease obligations and other		127			136
Less current maturities		(65	)		(64	)
Long term debt and notes payable	$	62		$	72

NOTE 9 — LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Kayne Litigation. On July 7, 2011, the Company was served with an amended complaint (the “Complaint”) filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California alleging, among other things, that the Company, certain of its present and former directors and other entities or individuals now or previously associated with Grande, intentionally interfered with the ability of the plaintiffs to collect on a judgment (now approximately $47 million) they had against Grande by engaging in transactions (such as the dividend paid to all shareholders in March 2010) which transferred assets out of the United States. The Complaint also asserts claims under the civil RICO statute and for alter ego liability. In the Company’s opinion, the claims appear to be devoid of merit. Accordingly, on September 27, 2011, Emerson moved to dismiss the action for failure to state a claim (the “Motion”). On or about February 27, 2012, the Court dismissed the intentional interference claim and portions of the Civil RICO claim with leave to re-plead, but denied the Motion to dismiss the alter ego claim. On March 19, 2012, the plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint setting forth the same claims as the Complaint. On April 20, 2012, the Company moved to dismiss the re-pleaded intentional interference and RICO claims, and oral arguments on this motion were held on June 18, 2012. The Company is awaiting the Court’s ruling on the motion. In the interim, the parties have exchanged document discovery requests and responses, but as of yet no documents have been produced. This action has been scheduled for an April 23, 2013 trial date. Emerson is defending the action vigorously.

9

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

NOTE 10 — MARKETABLE SECURITIES:

As of June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the Company had no marketable securities.

During Fiscal 2012, the Company sold for cash proceeds in May 2011 its last remaining student loan auction rate security for $4.7 million and realized a gain of $0.8 million as a result.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

The following discussion of the Company’s operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

In the following discussions, most percentages and dollar amounts have been rounded to aid presentation. Accordingly, all amounts are approximations.

Forward-Looking Information

This report contains forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Forward-looking statements include statements with respect to the Company’s beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, assumptions, estimates, intentions, and future performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may be beyond the Company’s control, and which may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be forward-looking statements. The reader can identify these forward-looking statements through the Company’s use of words such as “may,” “will,” “can,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “should,” “indicate,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “expect,” “seek,” “estimate,” “continue,” “plan,” “project,” “predict,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “potential,” and other similar words and expressions of the future. These forward-looking statements may not be realized due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation:

• the impact, if any, on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operation arising from the appointment of the Provisional Liquidators over Grande;

• the decline in, and any further deterioration of, consumer spending for retail products, such as the Company’s products;

• the Company’s inability to resist price increases from its suppliers or pass through such increases to its customers;

• the loss of any of the Company’s key customers or reduction in the purchase of the Company’s products by any such customers;

• conflicts of interest that exist based on the Company’s relationship with Grande;

• the Company’s inability to improve and maintain effective internal controls or the failure by its personnel to comply with such internal controls;

• the Company’s inability to maintain its relationships with its licensees and distributors, renew existing licenses, or the failure to obtain new licensees or distribution relationships on favorable terms;

11

• cash generated by operating activities represents the Company’s principal source of funding and therefore the Company depends on its ability to successfully manage its operating cash flows to fund its operations;

• the Company’s inability to anticipate market trends, enhance existing products or achieve market acceptance of new products;

• the Company’s dependence on a limited number of suppliers for its components and raw materials;

• the Company’s dependence on third party manufacturers to manufacture and deliver its products;

• changes in consumer spending and economic conditions;

• the failure of third party sales representatives to adequately promote, market and sell the Company’s products;

• the Company’s inability to protect its intellectual property;

• the effects of competition;

• changes in foreign laws and regulations and changes in the political and economic conditions in the foreign countries in which the Company operates;

Net product sales — Net product sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 were $44.9 million as compared to $50.1 million for fiscal 2012, a decrease of $5.2 million, or 10.4%. The Company’s sales during the first quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012 were highly concentrated among the Company’s two largest customers, where gross product sales comprised approximately 94.7% and 89.8%,

12

respectively, of the Company’s total gross product sales. Net product sales may be periodically impacted by adjustments made to the Company’s sales allowance and marketing support accrual to record unanticipated customer deductions from accounts receivable or to reduce the accrual by any amounts which were accrued in the past but not taken by customers through deductions from accounts receivable within a certain time period. In the aggregate, these adjustments had the effect of increasing net product sales and operating income by $0.3 million and $0.3 million for the first quarters of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively. The Company confronts increasing pricing pressure which is a trend that management expects to continue.

Net product sales are comprised primarily of the sales of houseware and audio products which bear the Emerson^® brand name. The major elements which contributed to the overall decrease in net product sales were as follows:

i) Houseware product net sales decreased $3.5 million, or 7.5%, to $43.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to $47.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, on decreased net sales of compact refrigerators, microwave ovens, toaster ovens and wine coolers.

ii) Audio product net sales were $1.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to $2.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 60.7%, resulting from decreased net sales of the Company’s clock radio and portable audio product offerings.

Licensing revenue — Licensing revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $1.1 million as compared to $1.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 20.2%, due to lower year-over-year sales by the Company’s licensees of branded products under license from the Company and fewer active licensees during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The Company’s largest license agreement is with Funai Corporation, Inc. (“Funai”), which accounted for approximately 83% of the Company’s total licensing revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2013, and which expires December 31, 2012 unless renewed. The agreement provides that Funai will manufacture, market, sell and distribute specified products bearing the Emerson^® trademark to customers in the U.S. and Canadian markets. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company receives non-refundable minimum annual royalty payments of $3.75 million each calendar year and a license fee on sales of product subject to the agreement in excess of the minimum annual royalties. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and 2012, revenues of $0.9 million and $0.9 million, respectively, were earned under this agreement. The Company and Funai currently are negotiating a renewal of such license, however there is no assurance that a renewal will be consummated on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

Net revenues — As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company’s net revenues were $46.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to $51.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, a decrease of $5.5 million, or 10.7%.

Cost of sales — In absolute terms, cost of sales decreased $6.4 million, or 14.1%, to $39.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to $45.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Cost of sales, as a percentage of net revenues was 85.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to 88.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Cost of sales, as a percentage of net product sales was 87.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to 91.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The decrease in absolute terms for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was primarily related to the reduced net product sales and lower year-over-year cost of sales as a percentage of sales, partially offset by the impact of an inventory valuation reserve reduction that occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 that did not repeat in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and higher year-over-year inventory writedowns. The improved margins for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 were aided by, among other factors, a higher level of prepaid factory purchases made during the first quarter of fiscal 2013, and are not anticipated to continue for the remainder of fiscal 2013 and are not indicative of results expected to be achieved in subsequent quarters.

The improved margins for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 were aided by, among other factors, a higher level of prepaid factory purchases made during the first quarter of fiscal 2013, and are not anticipated to continue for the remainder of fiscal 2013 and are not indicative of results expected to be achieved in subsequent quarters.

Other operating costs and expenses — Other operating costs and expenses as a percentage of net revenues were 0.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and 0.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. In absolute terms, other operating costs and expenses increased $21,000, or 5.4%, to $408,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to $387,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 resulting from lower warranty and returns processing costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“S,G&A”) — S,G&A, as a percentage of net revenues, was 4.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to 3.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. S,G&A, in absolute terms, increased $0.3 million, or 18.9%, to $2.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to $1.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The increase in S,G&A in absolute terms between the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was primarily due to an increase in legal fees of $0.2 million and a reduced benefit in bad debt recoveries of $0.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in compensation and consulting costs of $0.2 million.

Interest income, net — Interest income, net, was $31,000 in the first quarters of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012.

13

Realized gain on sale of marketable security — Realized gain on sale of marketable security was nil in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and $828,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The realized gain resulted from the sale in May 2011 of the Company’s last remaining auction rate security (see Note 10 – “Marketable Securities”).

Provision for income taxes — In the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company recorded income tax expense of $0.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the amount of income tax expense recorded by the Company was lower than in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 because the Company recorded a larger percentage of its taxable earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 in tax jurisdictions with lower comparative tax rates than in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

Net income — As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company’s net income was $3.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to net income of $3.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $39.7 million, as compared to approximately $21.5 million of June 30, 2011. Working capital increased to $68.5 million at June 30, 2012 as compared to $54.2 million at June 30, 2011. The increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $18.2 million was primarily due to the net income generated by the Company during the twelve months ended June 30, 2012, the sale of the company’s former headquarters building in December 2011 and a decrease in restricted cash.

Cash flow used by operating activities was $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, resulting primarily from increases in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and other current assets, partially offset by increased accounts payable, the net income generated during the period and decreases in inventory. The increase in accounts receivable at June 30, 2012 as compared to March 31, 2012 was due to increased sales in June 2012 as compared to March 2012. The increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets at June 30, 2012 as compared to March 31, 2012 was due to a higher level of prepaid factory purchases at June 30, 2012 as compared to March 31, 2012.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, which was primarily due to a decrease in restricted cash.

Net cash used by financing activities was $9,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, resulting from a decrease in the Company’s long term borrowings.

Other Events and Circumstances Pertaining to Liquidity

On May 31, 2011, upon application of a major creditor, the High Court of Hong Kong appointed Provisional Liquidators over Grande, which is the Company’s controlling stockholder. Following the appointment of the Provisional Liquidators over Grande, certain major factory suppliers, including Midea, which is the Company’s largest factory supplier, have significantly reduced the maximum amount of open credit lines available to the Company. The Company relies on its cash on hand and cash generated by ongoing operations to manage its business.

Credit Arrangements

Letters of Credit – Beginning November 2010, the Company began utilizing Hang Seng Bank to issue letters of credit on behalf of the Company, as needed, on a 100% cash collateralized basis. At June 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $70,337. A like amount of cash, which was posted by the Company as collateral against these outstanding letters of credit, at June 30, 2012, has been classified by the Company as Restricted Cash on the balance sheet.

Short-term Liquidity

In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, products representing approximately 58% of net sales were imported directly to the Company’s customers. The direct importation of product by the Company to its customers significantly benefits the Company’s liquidity because this inventory does not need to be financed by the Company.

14

The Company’s principal existing sources of cash are generated from operations. The Company believes that its existing cash balance and sources of cash will be sufficient to support existing operations over the next 12 months.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The following Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) were issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board during the three months ended June 30, 2012 or during the interim period between June 30, 2012 and August 14, 2012 which relate to or could relate to the Company as concerns the Company’s normal ongoing operations or the industry in which the Company operates:

Accounting Standards Update 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) : Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (Issued July 2012)

The objective of the amendments in this Update is to reduce the cost and complexity of performing an impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets by simplifying how an entity tests those assets for impairment and to improve consistency in impairment testing guidance among long-lived asset categories. The amendments permit an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Subtopic 350-30, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent.

Previous guidance in Subtopic 350-30 required an entity to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, on at least an annual basis, by comparing the fair value of the asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an entity should recognize an impairment loss in the amount of that excess. In accordance with the amendments in this Update, an entity will have an option not to calculate annually the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset if the entity determines that it is not more likely than not that the asset is impaired. Permitting an entity to assess qualitative factors when testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment results in guidance that is similar to the goodwill impairment testing guidance in Update 2011-08.

The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance.

Inflation, Foreign Currency, and Interest Rates

The Company’s exposure to currency fluctuations has been minimized by the use of U.S. dollar denominated purchase orders. The Company purchases virtually all of its products from manufacturers located in China.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Disclosure controls and procedures.

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

15

The Company’s management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of June 30, 2012, are effective to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Kayne Litigation. On July 7, 2011, the Company was served with an amended complaint (the “Complaint”) filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California alleging, among other things, that the Company, certain of its present and former directors and other entities or individuals now or previously associated with Grande, intentionally interfered with the ability of the plaintiffs to collect on a judgment (now approximately $47 million) they had against Grande by engaging in transactions (such as the dividend paid to all shareholders in March 2010) which transferred assets out of the United States. The Complaint also asserts claims under the civil RICO statute and for alter ego liability. In the Company’s opinion, the claims appear to be devoid of merit. Accordingly, on September 27, 2011, Emerson moved to dismiss the action for failure to state a claim (the “Motion”). On or about February 27, 2012, the Court dismissed the intentional interference claim and portions of the Civil RICO claim with leave to re-plead, but denied the Motion to dismiss the alter ego claim. On March 19, 2012, the plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint setting forth the same claims as the Complaint. On April 20, 2012, the Company moved to dismiss the re-pleaded intentional interference and RICO claims, and oral arguments on this motion were held on June 18, 2012. The Company is awaiting the Court’s ruling on the motion. In the interim, the parties have exchanged document discovery requests and responses, but as of yet no documents have been produced. This action has been scheduled for an April 23, 2013 trial date. Emerson is defending the action vigorously.

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

Background and Basis of Presentation [Abstract]

BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

NOTE 1 — BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2012 and the results of operations for the three month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes; actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and accordingly do not include all of the disclosures normally made in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 (“fiscal 2012”), included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, as amended, for fiscal 2012.

The results of operations for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for any other interim periods or for the full year ended March 31, 2013 (“fiscal 2013”).

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

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

Subsequent events have been evaluated through August 14, 2012.

Stock- Based Compensation

The Company measures compensation cost for stock-based compensation arrangements based on grant date fair value. The computed fair value is expensed ratably over the requisite vesting period as required by ASC Topic 718 “Compensation — Stock Compensation”. All outstanding stock based compensation arrangements issued by the Company were fully vested as of November 30, 2009. Consequently, the Company recorded no compensation costs during either of the three month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011.

Sales Allowance and Marketing Support Expenses

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

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

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

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

NOTE 7 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

From time to time, Emerson engages in business transactions with The Grande Holdings Limited (Provisional Liquidators Appointed) and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (“Grande”). Set forth below is a summary of such transactions.

Controlling Shareholder

The Grande Holdings Limited (Provisional Liquidators Appointed) (“Grande”), a Bermuda corporation, has, together with S&T International Distribution Limited (“S&T”), Grande N.A.K.S. Ltd. and Christopher Ho (Chairman of Grande’s and Emerson’s Boards of Directors) (together with Grande, the “Reporting Persons”) filed, on July 5, 2012, a Schedule 13D/A with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) stating that, as of the filing date, the Reporting Persons (except Christopher Ho) had the shared power to vote and direct the disposition of 15,243,283 shares, or approximately 56.2%, of the outstanding common stock of Emerson, subject only to the rights granted to Deutsche Bank AG (“Deutsche Bank”) pursuant to a security agreement entered into between S&T and Deutsche Bank on January 20, 2010 in which S&T granted a security interest in an aggregate of 3,780,600 shares in Emerson common stock (the “Pledged Shares”) owned by S&T but pledged to Deutsche Bank for the purposes of securing obligations owing from Grande to Deutsche Bank (the “Secured Obligations”). The aforementioned Schedule 13D/A also states that, as of the filing date, the Reporting Persons are aware only of the sale of 391,199 of the Pledged Shares by Deutsche Bank and that they have not yet been able to verify whether, or to what extent, Deutsche Bank has taken any other actions in respect of the Pledged Shares. The Reporting Persons also are of the view that the Secured Obligations have already been settled and, therefore, S&T reportedly is seeking clarification of the basis on which Deutsche Bank has claimed beneficial ownership of the remaining 3,380,079 shares out of the remaining 3,389,401 Pledged Shares. On February 11, 2011, Deutsche Bank filed a Schedule 13G with the SEC stating that it had sole voting and sole dispositive power over the Pledged Shares, which represent approximately 12.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. On January 9, 2012, Deutsche Bank filed with the SEC a Form 4 Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership stating that, after sales by it of certain of the Pledged Shares, it beneficially owned 3,380,079 shares of Emerson’s common stock, and on February 10, 2012, Deutsche Bank filed with the SEC a Schedule 13G stating that it was the beneficial owner with sole voting and sole dispositive power of such shares. As a result of the foregoing, there are competing claims to 3,380,079 shares of Emerson’s common stock. Until further clarification is obtained, Emerson is unable to determine the beneficial ownership of such shares.

On May 31, 2011, upon application of a major creditor, the High Court of Hong Kong appointed Fok Hei Yu (who is also known by the anglicized name Vincent Fok), a current director, and Roderick John Sutton, both of FTI Consulting (Hong Kong) Limited (“FTI”), as Joint and Several Provisional Liquidators over Grande (the “Provisional Liquidators over Grande”). Accordingly, as of May 31, 2011, the directors of Grande no longer have the ability to exercise control over Grande or the power to direct the voting and disposition of the 15,243,283 shares reported to be owned by Grande. Instead, Mr. Fok, as a Provisional Liquidator over Grande, has such power.

Related Party Transactions

Rented Office Space in Hong Kong

The Company is billed for service charges from Brighton Marketing Limited, a subsidiary of Grande, and The Grande Properties Management Limited, a related party of Grande, in connection with the Company’s rented office space in Hong Kong. These charges totaled approximately $12,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 and approximately $39,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2011. Emerson owed Brighton Marketing Limited nil at June 30, 2012 and approximately $1,100 at June 30, 2011 pertaining to theses charges.

Consulting Services Provided to Emerson by one of its Directors

During the three months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, Emerson paid consulting fees of approximately $21,000 and $3,000, respectively, to Mr. Eduard Will, a director of Emerson, for work performed by Mr. Will related to strategy for the Kayne Litigation as more fully described in Note 9 – “Legal Proceedings – Kayne Litigation”, merger and acquisition research, as well as work related to the strategy for a shareholder derivative lawsuit that the Company settled in January 2011. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, Emerson paid expense reimbursements and advances, in the aggregate, of nil and approximately $18,000, respectively, to Mr. Will, related to this consulting work and his service as a director of Emerson. At June 30, 2012, the Company owed Mr. Will nil and at June 30, 2011, Mr. Will owed the Company approximately $15,500 related to these activities.

Other

During each of the three months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, Emerson invoiced Vigers Appraisal & Consulting Ltd., a related party of Grande, approximately $1,000 for usage of telephone and data lines maintained by Emerson. Vigers owed Emerson approximately $1,000 at both June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 related to this activity.

INCOME TAXES

NOTE 6 — INCOME TAXES

The Company has no U.S. federal net operating loss carry forwards and some U.S. state net operating loss carry forwards included in net deferred tax assets that are available to offset future taxable income and can be carried forward for 20 years. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the net deferred tax assets will be realized through tax planning strategies available in future periods and through future profitable operating results. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be reduced or eliminated if certain tax planning strategies are not successfully executed or estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced. If management determines that the Company would not be able to realize all or part of the net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.

The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to expenses that are not deductible for federal income tax purposes, income and losses incurred in foreign jurisdictions and taxed at locally applicable tax rates, and state income taxes.

The Company is subject to examination and assessment by tax authorities in numerous jurisdictions. A summary of the Company’s open tax years is as follows as of June 30, 2012:

Jurisdiction	Open tax years
U.S. federal		2008-2011
States		2007-2011

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

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

NOTE 9 — LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Kayne Litigation. On July 7, 2011, the Company was served with an amended complaint (the “Complaint”) filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California alleging, among other things, that the Company, certain of its present and former directors and other entities or individuals now or previously associated with Grande, intentionally interfered with the ability of the plaintiffs to collect on a judgment (now approximately $47 million) they had against Grande by engaging in transactions (such as the dividend paid to all shareholders in March 2010) which transferred assets out of the United States. The Complaint also asserts claims under the civil RICO statute and for alter ego liability. In the Company’s opinion, the claims appear to be devoid of merit. Accordingly, on September 27, 2011, Emerson moved to dismiss the action for failure to state a claim (the “Motion”). On or about February 27, 2012, the Court dismissed the intentional interference claim and portions of the Civil RICO claim with leave to re-plead, but denied the Motion to dismiss the alter ego claim. On March 19, 2012, the plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint setting forth the same claims as the Complaint. On April 20, 2012, the Company moved to dismiss the re-pleaded intentional interference and RICO claims, and oral arguments on this motion were held on June 18, 2012. The Company is awaiting the Court’s ruling on the motion. In the interim, the parties have exchanged document discovery requests and responses, but as of yet no documents have been produced. This action has been scheduled for an April 23, 2013 trial date. Emerson is defending the action vigorously.

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

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes; actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and accordingly do not include all of the disclosures normally made in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 (“fiscal 2012”), included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, as amended, for fiscal 2012.

The results of operations for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for any other interim periods or for the full year ended March 31, 2013 (“fiscal 2013”).

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

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

Subsequent events have been evaluated through August 14, 2012.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock- Based Compensation

The Company measures compensation cost for stock-based compensation arrangements based on grant date fair value. The computed fair value is expensed ratably over the requisite vesting period as required by ASC Topic 718 “Compensation — Stock Compensation”. All outstanding stock based compensation arrangements issued by the Company were fully vested as of November 30, 2009. Consequently, the Company recorded no compensation costs during either of the three month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011.

Sales Allowance and Marketing Support Expenses

Sales Allowance and Marketing Support Expenses

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

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

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