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”), which operates in the consumer electronics business. The consumer electronics business includes the design, sourcing, importing and marketing of a variety of consumer electronic products and the licensing of the “(EMERSON LOGO)” and H.H. Scott(R) trademarks for a variety of products domestically and internationally to certain licensees.
     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 ourthe Company’s consolidated financial position as of December 31, 2007September 30, 2008 and the results of operations for the three and ninesix month periods ended December 31, 2007September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2006.September 30, 2007. 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 our 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, 20072008 (“fiscal 2007”2008”), included in ourthe Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, as amended, for fiscal 2007.2008.
     Emerson maintains a controlling interest in Advanced Sound and Image, LLC (“ASI”), a designer and marketer of audio and video equipment, and consolidates the results of operations of ASI with a minority interest to represent the share of equity that Emerson does not own. Assets of the joint venture have been recorded in the consolidation at fair value. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
     Due to the seasonal nature of Emerson’s business, the results of operations for the three and ninesix month periods ended December 31, 2007September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year ending March 31, 20082009 (“fiscal 2008”2009”).
     Certain reclassifications were made to conform the prior year’s financial statements to the current presentation.
Stock—Stock- Based Compensation
The Company accounts for all share based payments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“FAS”) No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“FAS 123R”).

Compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service had not been rendered are being recognized as the requisite service is rendered (generally over the remaining option vesting period). The compensation cost for that portion of awards has been based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated for pro forma disclosures under previously issued accounting standards. As a result of applying the provisions of FAS 123R, the Company has recorded compensation costs of $28,000$18,000 and $83,000$36,000 for the three monthsand six month periods ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006,September 30, 2008, respectively.

NOTE 6 INCOME TAXES
     The Company has tax net operating loss carry forwards included in net deferred tax assets that are available to offset future taxable income and can be carried forward for 15 to 20 years. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the net deferred tax assets, net of an appropriate valuation allowance, 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 carryforward 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.

     During the current quarter,In fiscal 2008, the Company resolved all of the outstanding disputes which its predecessor had relating to franchise taxes, interest and penalties due and owing to the State of California for the tax years through and including the date that such predecessor ceased doing business. As a consequenceIn the second quarter of the settlement,fiscal 2008, Emerson reversed and recognizedincreased its estimated liability for California franchise taxes for tax years 1979-1990 in the current quarter, a reductionamount of its tax provision of $1,041,826 which was previously accrued for such liability.
     In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”. FIN 48 establishes a single model to address accounting for uncertain tax positions. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold which a tax position is required to attain before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Upon adoption of FIN 48, as of April 1, 2007, we recorded a net increase to accumulated deficit of $121,000, including approximately $68,000 related to accrued interest and penalties related to state income tax matters.$3.7 million
     As of April 1, 2007,September 30, 2008, the Company had $121,000recorded a liability of $149,000 for unrecognized tax benefits related to state taxes. All of the unrecognized tax benefits could impact our effective tax rate if recognized.

     TheFor fiscal 2009, 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 and state income taxes. For fiscal 2008, the respective three and nine months ended December 31, 2007Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily as a result of the settlement made in relation to the California franchise tax issue described in the second paragraph of this note. The effective tax rate for the respective three and nine months ended December 31, 2006 differs from the federal statutory rate primarily as a result of 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 December 31, 2007:September 30, 2008:
   
Jurisdiction Open tax years
U.S. federal 2003-20062004-2007
States with ongoing examinations 2003-2006
States without ongoing examinations2004-2007 2003-2006
     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.
     In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FIN 48-1 Definition of a Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FSP FIN 48-1). FSP FIN 48-1 provides guidance on how to determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. FSP FIN 48-1 is effective retroactively to April 1, 2007. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets or statements of operations.

     Credit Facility On December 23, 2005, Emerson entered into a $45.0 million Revolving Credit Agreement with Wachovia Bank. The loan agreement provides for a $45.0 million revolving line of credit for revolving loans subject to individual maximums which, in the aggregate, are not to exceed the lesser of $45.0 million or a “Borrowing Base” as defined in the loan agreement. The Borrowing Base amount is established by specified percentages of eligible accounts receivables and inventories and bears interest ranging from Prime (7.25%(5.00% as of December 31, 2007)September 30, 2008) plus 0.00% to 0.50% or, at Emerson’s election, the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR” which was 5.02%2.93% as of December 31, 2007)September 30, 2008) plus 1.25% to 2.25% depending on excess availability. Pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement, Emerson is restricted from, among other things, paying certain cash dividends, and entering into certain transactions without the lender’s prior consent and is subject to certain leverage financial covenants. Amounts outstanding under the loan agreement are secured by substantially all of Emerson’s tangible assets.
     During the quarter endedAt September 30, 2006, Emerson amended its Revolving Credit Agreement with Wachovia Bank, National Association to finance its working capital requirements through October 31, 2006, primarily to ensure funding of the promotional item purchases totaling over $30.0 million. Under this amendment, Emerson’s line of credit was increased to $53 million from $45 million for this period, and its revolver commitments, letters of credit and inventory borrowing bases were increased. Emerson did not utilize the additional available funds during the amendment period, and this amendment expired at October 31, 2006.
     At December 31, 2007,2008, there were no borrowings outstanding under the facility.
     As of December 31, 2007,September 30, 2008, the carrying value of this credit facility approximated fair value.
     As a result of the related party transactions entered into between Emerson and affiliates of Grande described in Note 7, Emerson may have been deemed to be in breach of certain covenants contained in Emerson’s credit facility, including a covenant restricting Emerson from lending money and from entering into related party transactions without the consent of its lender. The lender under the credit facility agreed to waive such breaches and Emerson and the lender negotiated an amendment to the credit facility. Under the amendment, (i) Emerson granted the lender a security interest in the $23 million Note and the Guaranty referred to in Note 7, (ii) a failure (following a 15 day cure period) by the borrowers to make payments to Emerson as required by the terms of the Note would be deemed a default under the credit facility, (iii) the number of field audits by the lender was increased from two to three each year and (iv) Emerson was required to pay $125,000 to the lender in connection with the amendment. All amounts due under the $23 million Note were repaid in full as of June 3, 2007. As of August 14, 2007 the amendment fee of $125,000 was repaid by Capetronic to Emerson.
NOTE 9 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
     There currently is pending against three directorsIn July 2008, the Court of Chancery of the Company (Messrs. Ho, MaState of Delaware (the “Court”) entered an Order (the “Order”) consolidating for all purposes two previously disclosed derivative actions (the “Berkowitz” and Binney) a purported derivative action“Pinchuk” lawsuits) filed on Emerson’s behalf against certain of the Company’s behalf by twocurrent and former directors.  The complaints in each of its shareholders. The complaint, which has not yet been answered by the defendants, allegessuch actions alleged that the named defendants each of whom also is an executive officer of Grande Holdings, the Company’s controlling shareholder, violated their fiduciary duties to Emerson in connection with a number of previously disclosed related party transactions with affiliates of Grande Holdings.Holdings, Emerson’s controlling shareholder.  The Order also organizes counsel for the plaintiffs in the consolidated action, relieves the defendants of their obligation to answer the “Berkowitz” and “Pinchuk” complaints and contemplates the filing of a consolidated complaint as soon as practicable. The recovery, in such lawsuit, if any, in the consolidated action, will inure to Emerson’s benefit.

     Except for the litigation matters described above, Emerson is not currently a party to any legal proceedings other than litigation matters, in most cases involving ordinary and routine claims incidental to the Company’s business. The Company’s 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 examination of such matters, that the Company’s ultimate liability will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 10 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
     TheIn March 2007, the Company entered into fixed period foreign exchange forward contracts (between the U.S.US and Hong Kong dollar), based on economic and market conditions and solely for the purpose of speculative trading, (See “Other Events and Circumstances Pertaining to Liquidity” and Item 4.b “Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” ).not for the purpose of hedging other business opportunities. The contract terms arewere for fixed periods and at DecemberMarch 31, 2007,2008, the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts had expiration dates that ranged from one to sixtwo months, with notional amounts of $11$10 million.

NOTE 11 – MARKETABLE SECURITIES:
     As of September 30, 2008, the Company has $9.9 million invested in trading securities, consisting entirely of auction rate securities (“ARS”). These securities have long-term nominal maturities for which interest rates are reset through a Dutch auction process at December 31, 2006.pre-determined calendar intervals; a process which had historically provided a liquid market for these securities. Interest continues to be paid by the issuers of these securities even through the continued liquidity issues experienced in the global credit and capital markets despite these ARS having multiple failed auctions. Based on an independent valuation and its internal analysis, the Company concluded that these securities had experienced an other-than-temporary decline in fair value and recorded an impairment charge of $1.95 million in fiscal 2008. These ARS have AAA/Aaa credit ratings as of September 30, 2008, and have been classified as long-term investments in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as a consequence of their uncertain liquidity.
     The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Accounting for Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), on April 1, 2008. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures.
     Financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:
Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that reflect our own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company would develop these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.
     In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above, the following table shows the fair value of Emerson’s securities that are required to be measured at fair value as of September 30, 2008 (in thousands):

Net Revenues — Net revenues for the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2009 were $55.1 million as compared to $57.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2008, a decrease of $2.8 million or 4.8%. For the six month period of fiscal 2009, net revenues were $75.8$98.2 million as compared to $89.3$110.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2007, a decrease of $13.5 million or 15.1%. For the ninesix month period of fiscal 2008, net revenues were $186.3 million as compared to $244.2 million for the nine month period of fiscal 2007, a decrease of $57.9$12.3 million or 23.7%11.1%.

Emerson(R) branded product sales are earned from the sale of products bearing the Emerson(R) or HH Scott(R) brand name; themed product sales represent products sold bearing a certain theme or character; andcharacter. Furthermore, licensing revenues are derived from licensing the Emerson(R) and HH Scott(R) brand names to licensees for a fee. The major elements which contributed to the overall decrease in net revenues was comprised of:were as follows:
 i) Emerson(R) branded productsHome appliances product sales of $67.2increased $2.3 million, or 6.1%, to $38.4 million in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 20082009 as compared to $60.3$36.1 million in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2007, an increase of $6.9 million, or 11.4%.

The increase for the three month period37.7%, primarily resulted from increased sales in our home appliance product category, specifically microwave ovens, refrigerators and wine coolers. The nine month decrease resulted primarilyresulting from decreased sales volumes in several audio product lines and the Ipod(R) compatible product category, partially offset by an increases incategory. For the six month period of fiscal 2009, sales of Emerson(R) branded products sales, excluding home appliance and clock radio categories;

ii)During the third quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2006 Emerson had promotional item salesappliances products, were $21.3 million as compared to ESI International of $12.3 million and $33.1 million, respectively, associated with a major holiday promotion with one of our major customers. In addition to increasing net revenues, this promotional sale resulted in an increase in accounts payable and other current liabilities and accounts receivable of $20.6 million and $20.8 million, respectively, in the period ended September 30, 2006 as well as an increase in short term deposits of $28.8 million in the same period due to parts and inventory purchases related to this sale. In order to fund these purchases, short term borrowings through our revolving line of credit increased by $24.0$40.2 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2006. These short term borrowings were repaid in the three months ended December 31, 2006;of fiscal 2008, a decrease of $18.9 million or 47.0%;
 
 iii) Themed product sales of $6.8were $3.5 million in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $2.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, an increase of $937,000, or 36.0%, primarily resulting from the recently introduced sales of a new line associated with Mattel(R) themed products in addition to a line that had also been sold in fiscal 2008. For the six month period of fiscal 2009, themed product sales were $4.2 million as compared to $15.0$4.8 million, in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, a decrease of $8.2 million,$625,000 or 54.6%13.1%. ForIn addition to Mattel(R) themed products, the ninesix month period of fiscal 2008 themed productincluded sales were $11.6 million as compared to $30.0 million for the nine month period of fiscal 2007, a decrease of $18.4 million or 61.3%. The decrease for the three and nine month periods was primarily a result of the discontinuance of Nickelodeon(R) themed products partially offset by sales of Mattel(R) themed products which began inwere discontinued after the fourthfirst quarter of fiscal 2007, which were dampened in the current quarter by a $2.9 million sales return allowance the Company recorded for a product return made by one long time distribution partner. The Company is reserving for the complete return, as it works to place the returned inventory elsewhere within its customer base;2008;
 
 iv) Licensing revenues decreasedincreased approximately $122,000,$174,000, or 7.0%10.2%, to $1.6$1.9 million in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 20082009 as compared to $1.7 million in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2007.2008, primarily due to a settlement received from a licensee to end an arrangement and our video licensing arrangements. For the ninesix month period of fiscal 2009, licensing revenues were $3.6 million as compared to $3.4 million for the six month period of fiscal 2008, an increase of $228,000 or 6.7%, largely as a result of our video licensing revenues increased $259,000, or 5.4%, to $5.0 million as compared to $4.8 million in the nine months of fiscal 2007. The decrease in comparative quarters as compared to the increase in the comparative nine month periods are due primarily to the mix in the portfolio of licensees. Emerson’s current licensees as of December 31, 2007, particularly the newer licensees added during the nine month period have delivered more licensing revenue than the previous licensees whom they have in some cases replaced.arrangements;
 
 v) InA reversal of the threemarketing fund accrual for iPod(R) compatible products resulted in an increase in net revenues in the amount of $1.1 million. The accrual was an accumulation of anticipated buydowns and nine month periods ended December 31, 2007, Emersonother vendor concessions on product sold between 2006 and 2008, associated with the marketing of a second generation of these products which never materialized;
vi)Sales of a joint venture which was formed in fiscal 2008 for the primary purpose of manufacturing, selling, distributing, and/or licensing audio and video equipment for the home and/or office with sales of $410,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and $831,000 for the six months of fiscal 2009; and

For the six months of fiscal 2009, the Company recorded realized gains of $532,000 and unrealized holding losses of $21,000. The Company’s valuation was estimated by comparing current value based on projected cash flows discounted to the present and taking into account interest.yields of similar illiquid instruments and assumptions about the extent of the failure of the auction process and the amount of discounts exhibited in limited sales of comparable securities. For the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company based its valuation of one of the securities on the price extended in an offer from its broker to purchase from Emerson the securities of a particular CUSIP, which was discounted from principal, rather than the estimation method mentioned in the preceding sentence. See note 11 – Marketable Securities.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2008, Emerson increased its estimated liability for California franchise taxes due and owing by its predecessorfor tax years 1979-1990 in the amount of $3.7 million. California franchise taxes are effectively tax on income and are recorded as such. In the third quarter of fiscal 2008, Emerson reduced its estimated liability by $1.0 million as a result of having resolved the matter. See Note 6 “Income Taxes”. Separate from the decreaseincrease in the liability associated with California franchise taxes, ourthe Company’s provision for income taxes, which primarily represents the deferred tax charges associated with ourits profits in the United States, resulted in a benefitprovision of $1.4 million$255,000 for the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2008, or 1.8%0.4% of net revenues, as compared to a provision of $1.9 million forrevenues. For the third quartersix months of fiscal 2007,2009, Emerson’s provision for income taxes was $1.2 million, or 2.1%1.2% of net revenues.

Minority interest in net loss of a provisionconsolidated subsidiary – Minority interest of $3.8 million, or 1.6%$39,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 represents the share of net revenues,loss of the Company’s joint venture formed in February 2008, Advanced Sound and Image, LLC (“ASI”), that is attributable to the equity of ASI that Emerson does not own. Because the minority share of accumulated losses has exceeded the minority shareholder’s total equity in ASI, the Company has charged the excess loss of $84,000 to its interest in ASI for the ninesecond quarter of fiscal 2009. For the six month period of fiscal 2007.2009, the share of net loss attributable to the equity of ASI that Emerson does not own was $133,000. Transactions between Emerson and ASI are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     As of December 31, 2007,September 30, 2008, Emerson had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $20.4$6.4 million, compared to approximately $11.1$7.4 million at December 31, 2006.September 30, 2007. Working capital was $63.9decreased to $47.8 million at December 31, 2007 and $70.8September 30, 2008 as compared to $63.8 million at December 31, 2006.September 30, 2007. The increasedecrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $9.3$1.0 million was primarily due to increasesinvestments in cash provided by operating activities, the settlement of a receivable due from affiliatesecurities which have been classified as long-term and the sale of a building, partially offset by cash used for repayment of short-term debt, property and equipment additions, and the payment of taxes,partially offset by an amount received from a new revolving loan agreement as described in the following paragraphs.
     Operating cash flow providedused by continuing operating activities was approximately $21.0$15.9 million for the ninesix months ended December 31, 2007,September 30, 2008, resulting from the repayment to Emersonpurchases of financing provided to an affiliate in the prior fiscal year (see Note 7 — “Related Party Transactions”), primarily offset byinventory, growth in accounts receivable on our direct import sales, which represent sales under letter of credit arrangements, and the amount of restricted cash for balances pledged to assure the availability of credit facilities. The decrease in cash was primarily offset by increases in amounts payable for purchasing Emerson’s products, which are settled primarily through the third quarteruse of fiscal 2008.letters of credit but also on open account.
     Net cash provided by investing activities was $1.3$3.8 million for the ninesix months ended December 31, 2007September 30, 2008 and resulted primarily from partial calls on the sale of a building in Macao,auction rate securities offset by purchases of showroom furniture and computer equipment for the Company’s US operations as well as tooling by a foreign subsidiary related to sourcing of product and molds delivered to Capetronic, a related party, to manufacture musical instruments (see Note 7).product.
     Net cash usedprovided by financing activities was $3.7$4.1 million for the ninesix months ended December 31, 2007,September 30, 2008, resulting primarily from the pay down of loans ofamount received from a foreign subsidiary.new revolving loan agreement. See Note 8 – “Borrowings”.
     On December 23, 2005, we entered into a $45.0 million Revolving Credit Agreement with Wachovia Bank. This credit facility provides for revolving loans subject to individual maximums which, in the aggregate, are not to exceed the lesser of $45.0 million or a “Borrowing Base” as defined in the loan agreement. The Borrowing Base amount is established by specified percentages of eligible

Pursuant to the loan agreement, we arethe Company is restricted from, among other things, paying certain cash dividends, and entering into certain transactions without the lender’s prior consent and are subject to certain leverage financial covenants. Borrowings under the loan agreement are secured by substantially all of ourthe Company’s tangible assets.
     At December 31, 2007,September 30, 2008, there were approximately $11.1$32.2 million of letters of credit outstanding under this facility. There were no borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2007September 30, 2008 under this facility. At December 31 2007, we wereSeptember 30, 2008, the Company was in compliance with the covenants on ourits credit facilities.

The loan is secured by the sum of all cash and other securities maintained by us in the Company’s accounts with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. The agreement compels Emerson to keep the aforementioned cash and securities free of security interests, liens, or other impediments to transfer which do not favor Citigroup Global Markets, and Emerson may not pledge the collateral to a different third-party. All payments received in respect of securities in the Company’s accounts, including interest received and redemptions of principal, may be applied against the Company’s outstanding loan balance and accrued interest thereon at the sole discretion of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. There is no specific term for the credit facility, and full or partial payment of the loan principal and accrued interest may be demanded at any time by Citigroup Global Markets Inc. Interest on the outstanding loan balance is calculated at the Federal Open Market Rate plus 1.1% to 1.5%.
     At December 31, 2007, asSeptember 30, 2008 were approximately $4.1 million of borrowings outstanding under this facility.

As such, $3.0 million in certificates of deposit held at these banks havethis amount has been returned.classified on the balance sheet as restricted cash.
     Short-Term Liquidity.Liquidity is impacted by seasonality in that Emerson generally records the majority of its annual sales in the quarters ending September and December. This requires Emerson to maintain higher inventory levels during the quarters ending June and September, therefore increasing the working capital needs during these periods. Additionally, Emerson receives the largest percentage of product returns in the quarter ending March. The higher level of returns during this period adversely impacts collection activity, and therefore liquidity. Management believes that continued sales margin improvement and the policies in place for returned products should continue to favorably impact cash flow. In the ninesix months ended December 31, 2007,September 30, 2008, products representing approximately 27%36.9% of net revenues were imported directly to Emerson’s customers. This contributes significantly to Emerson’s liquidity in that this inventory does not need to be financed.

Emerson’s principal existing sources of cash are generated from operations and borrowings available under it’sits revolving credit facilities. As of December 31, 2007,September 30, 2008, Emerson had $45$12.8 million of borrowing capacity available under it’sits $45.0 million revolving credit facilities with Wachovia Bank as there were $11.1$32.2 million of letters of credit outstanding, and no outstanding loans. In addition, Emerson had $1.6 million of borrowing capacity available under its revolving loan agreement with Citigroup Global Markets. Emerson believes that it’sits existing sources of cash, including cash flows generated from operations, will be sufficient to support existing operations over the next 12 months; however, management may decide to raise additional financing, which may include the issuance of equity securities, or the incurrence of additional debt, in connection with existing operations or if we electEmerson elects to pursue acquisitions.

During fiscal 2007, our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated our     The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) related to the recording, processing, summarization and reporting of information in our reports that we file with the SEC. These disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that material information relating to us,the Company, including our

its subsidiaries, is made known to our management, including these officers, by other of ourthe Company’s employees, and that this information is recorded, processed, summarized, evaluated and reported, as applicable, within the time periods specified in the SEC’sSecurities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. 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 ofdue to 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. OurThe Company’s controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the above objectives have been met.
Based on their evaluation as of December 31, 2007, ourSeptember 30, 2008, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that for the reasons set forth below under “Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”; ourCompany’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were notAct) are effective to reasonably ensure that the information required to be disclosed by usthe Company in the reports that we fileare filed or submitsubmitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SECSecurities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.forms and that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Emerson has operated for many years under a system of internal controls governing the purchase and sale of inventory and the use of its credit facilities to support its working capital needs. This system was designed in order to insure participation by and coordination among employees involved in each of the major functional areas of Emerson, namely sales, procurement and finance both in the United States and in its Asian offices.
The process begins with a monthly sales meeting in the United States chaired by the President of Sales and attended by sales, treasury, sales planning and production scheduling personnel. At this meeting, sales projections, pipeline and forecasts for all customers and for all models are reviewed and the foundation for the Monthly Buy Package is established. Subsequent to the monthly sales meeting, a Monthly Buy Package is developed, including a schedule of production needs by month, model and quantity. This package is forwarded to the Director of Sales and the Director of the Corporate Treasury and, when approved, forwarded to the Macao office.
Experienced personnel in Macao then review and combine all buy packages received and schedule letters of credit and on-account buys with manufacturers covering production for the month necessary to fill outstanding orders and the likely needs of customers on a timely basis. The report from Macao is then sent for final approval to the Director of the Corporate Treasury and the Treasurer. This system of internal controls provides that no letter of credit may be authorized for issuance and no open account production is permitted to begin until this final approval is received.
Once approved by Treasury, the package is sent back to the Macao office for execution of the buy transactions. Orders are placed and letters of credit are issued as needed. The Macao office produces and forwards to the Treasury and Finance Departments a Daily Activity Report which includes, among other things, letter of credit number, dollar amount, model number, manufacturer and quantity produced. All information on the Daily Activity Report should be able to be traced back to and tie in with the original approved Buy Package. This information becomes the basis on which Emerson’s cash and credit line are managed on a daily basis.
Emerson’s primary domestic bank is notified of each letter of credit presented for payment and, when paid, the applicable item is removed from the Daily Activity Report. In summary, this system, which was developed over many years, was intended to ensure that every major function within the firm participates at every stage of the purchase, sale and finance process and that there is centralized and continuing monitoring of the Company’s liquidity position.
In two transactions described in Note 7 (Related Party Transactions) our financial statements included in this report on Form 10-Q, Emerson’s internal control process was bypassed. In the transaction involving the 42” plasma televisions, purchase orders were issued, letters of credit were authorized and funds were advanced as a deposit with Capetronic, an affiliate of Grande, with only minimal involvement from the Treasury, Sales or Finance Departments under Emerson’s system of internal control. In addition, the distributor to which Emerson sold the television sets remitted approximately 25% of the monies due to Capetronic rather than to Emerson which then received the funds at a later time. Documentation of the entire transaction was also deficient.
The same infirmities (other than the payment by the distributor to Capetronic rather than Emerson) are present in the transactions involving the H.H. Scott LCD sets. In addition, there is virtually no documentation available to Emerson setting forth its participation in the transactions beyond the detail information set forth in the issued Letters of Credit. However, the available information shows that some of the Company’s credit was utilized to fund transactions for the benefit of Grande affiliates and in which Emerson then had no financial interest whatsoever.

As described under Note 7 to our financial statements, during the quarter ended December 31, 2006, we and affiliates of Grande entered into a number of related party transactions that resulted in loans and letters of credit under our credit facility being issued for the benefit of affiliates of Grande. These loans were (i) subject to a repayment schedule that commenced on April 1, 2007 and ended on June 3, 2007 as set forth in the Note and (ii) guaranteed by Grande. All obligations under the Note were satisfied by June 3, 2007. The Company’s Audit Committee conducted an initial review of these transactions and concluded that these financing transactions (i) were not made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral and return on investment, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated persons, and (ii) involved more than the normal risk of collectibility. In addition, the review of the transactions revealed material weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls. The deficiencies that were uncovered related to (i) one or more senior managers failing to follow the Company’s existing internal controls over purchases and sales of inventory and utilization of the Company’s credit facilities and (ii) the lack of documentation related to such related party transactions. These events have also raised concerns about the Company’s overall control environment. Although such events may not result in any adjustment to the Company’s financial statements, such events reflect material weaknesses with respect to the Company internal controls.
The Company’s Audit Committee has received from an independent investigator a report with respect to certain of the related party transactions entered into by the Company, including its subsidiaries, with affiliates of Grande Holdings from December 2005 to the present, and is continuing its independent review into such transactions.
As part of the Company’s remedial actions, on February 20, 2007, the Board of Directors appointed a committee of the Board of Directors comprised of Adrian Ma, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Greenfield Pitts, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Michael A.B. Binney, the Company’s President — International Operations, and Eduard Will, the Company’s former President — North American Operations and current Vice Chairman, to internally review and approve all related party transactions in an amount in excess of $500,000. Following review and approval by this newly formed committee, all such related party transactions are required to be reviewed and approved by the Company’s Audit Committee.
As part of its efforts to improve internal controls, the Company retained the consulting affiliate of a national accounting firm to assist it in its review of internal controls as mandated by SOX Section 404. In addition, on December 13, 2007, the Board of Directors adopted, and management is in the process of implementing, a series of governance and control policies and procedures designed to accomplish the same purpose.
In performing its normal quarterly review procedures, senior corporate financial management determined that personnel had authorized or permitted to occur, without the knowledge of or communication to senior corporate financial management, two foreign exchange transactions and a series of small related party transactions involving the sourcing for and subsequent sale of inventory to affiliates of Grande. The Company recognized modest amounts of profit from each of these transactions. For further information, see Note 10 “Financial Instruments”, “Other Events and Circumstances Pertaining to Liquidity” and Note 7 - “Related Party Transactions”.
Except as set forth above, there     There have been no changes in ourthe Company’s internal controlscontrol over financial reporting that occurred during ourthe last fiscal quarter to which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, ourthe Company’s internal controlscontrol over financial reporting.
