PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD NOVEMBER 9, 2011

To Our Stockholders:

This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (“Board of Directors” or “Board”) of Emerson Radio Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Emerson” or the “Company”), to be used at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held at ourthe law offices of SorinRand LLP located at 85 Oxford Drive, Moonachie,Two Tower Center Blvd., East Brunswick, New Jersey 07074,08816, on Wednesday,Thursday, November 9, 2011,7, 2013, at 9:00 a.m. (local time), or at any adjournment or adjournments thereof.

We expect to begin mailing this proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card to our stockholders on or about October 20, 2011.

18, 2013.

Important Notice of Availability of Proxy Materials for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on November 9, 2011.

7, 2013.

Our proxy materials, including our Proxy Statement for the 20112013 Annual Meeting, 20112013 Annual Report to Stockholders (which contains our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2011)2013) and proxy card, are available on the Internet athttp://www.amstock.com/proxyservices/viewmaterial.asp?CoNumber=02008.

VOTING PROCEDURES AND REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES

The accompanying proxy card is designed to permit each of our stockholders as of the record date to vote on each of the proposals properly brought before the annual meeting. As of the record date, there were 27,129,832 shares of our common stock, par value $.01 per share, issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the annual meeting. Each outstanding share of our common stock is entitled to one vote.

The holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock, present in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the annual meeting. If a quorum is not present, the annual meeting may be adjourned from time to time until a quorum is obtained.

Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present. Abstentions, but not broker non-votes, are treated as shares present and entitled to vote, and will be counted as a “no” vote on all other matters. Broker non-votes are treated as not entitled to vote, and so reduce the absolute number, but not the percentage of votes needed for approval of a matter. Broker non-votes occur when nominees, such as banks and brokers holding shares on behalf of beneficial owners, do not receive voting instructions from the beneficial holders at least ten days before the meeting. If that happens, the nominees may vote those shares only on matters deemed “routine” by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), such as the ratification of auditors. Nominees cannot vote on non-routine matters unless they receive voting instructions from beneficial holders, resulting in so-called “broker non-votes.”

Assuming that a quorum is present, directors will be elected by a plurality vote and the seventen nominees who receive the most votes will be elected. There is no right to cumulate votes in the election of directors. As a result, abstentions and “broker non-votes” (see below), if any, will not affect the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

Assuming that a quorum is present, the advisory vote for the approval of executive compensation of our named executive officers, the advisory vote for the approval of the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation, the approval of the shareholder proposal to request the Board to declare and pay a special dividend, the approval of the shareholder proposal to recommend the Board adopt cumulative voting, the ratification of the appointment of MSPC Certified Public Accountants and Advisors, A Professional Corporation (“MSPC”) as our independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending March 31, 20122014 and approval of any other matter that may properly come before the annual meeting thewill require that an affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes be cast on these proposals, in person or by proxy, is required to approve these proposals. As a result, abstentions will have the same


practical effect as a negative vote on these proposals, and “broker non-votes”, if any, will not affect the outcome of the vote on these proposals. The Company believes that the proposal for the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm is considered to be a “routine” matter, and hence the Company does not expect that there will be a significant number of broker non-votes on such proposal.

As of the record date, October 14, 2011,2013, The Grande Holdings Limited (Provisional Liquidators Appointed)(In Liquidation) (“Grande”), a Bermuda corporation, has, together with S&T International Distribution Limited (“S&T”), a subsidiary of Grande, and Grande N.A.K.S. Ltd., a subsidiary of Grande (together with Grande, the “Reporting Persons”), filed, on April 29, 2013, a Schedule 13D/A with the SEC stating that, as of the filing date, the Reporting Persons had advised the Company that oneshared power to vote and direct the disposition of its indirect subsidiaries held beneficially 15,243,283 shares, or approximately 56.2%, of the outstanding common stock of Emerson which, pursuant to an agreement between S&T and Deutsche Bank AG (“Deutsche Bank”) on March 26, 2013, are no longer subject to the rights granted to Deutsche Bank pursuant to a security agreement entered into between S&T and Deutsche Bank on January 20, 2010.

On April 10, 2013, Deutsche Bank filed a Form 4 with the SEC disclosing the redemption and release, as of April 2, 2013, of 3,380,079 shares of common stock (the “Remaining Pledged Shares”) of Emerson to S&T, Emerson’s largest shareholder. On May 9, 2013, a Schedule 13G was filed with the SEC by Deutsche Bank AG stating that it had no voting or dispositive power over any of the outstanding common stock of Emerson. That number of shares includes 3,391,967 shares (the “Pledged Shares”) which, according to public filings made byAs a result, Deutsche Bank AG (“Deutsche Bank”) in March 2010 had previously been pledged to Deutsche Bank to secure indebtedness owed to it. In February 2011, Deutsche Bank filed a Schedule 13G with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) stating that Deutsche Bank had sole voting and sole dispositive power over the Pledged Shares (which represent approximately 12.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock). The Company believes that both Grande and Deutsche Bank have claimedno longer claims beneficial ownership of the Pledged Shares. As of October 14, 2011, the Company has not been able to verify independently the beneficial ownership of the Pledged Shares. Regardless of such determination, we expect that we will have a quorum present at the annual meeting and that each of the proposals will be approved. Holders of our common stock will not have any dissenters’ rights of appraisal in connection with any of the mattersRemaining Pledged Shares. Furthermore, because S&T has regained control of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of Emerson, Emerson is once again a Controlled company, as defined in Section 801(a) of the NYSE MKT Rules.

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 of the Company, and Roderick John Sutton, both of FTI Consulting (Hong Kong) Limited (“FTI”), as Joint and Several 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 beneficially owned by Grande. Instead, Mr. Fok and Mr. Sutton, as Provisional Liquidators over Grande, have such power. In addition, on March 20, 2013, the Provisional Liquidators informed Emerson that they are obligated to liquidate the 15,243,283 shares beneficially owned by Grande. The Company can make no assurances regarding whether or to what extent such shares will be votedliquidated or retained by Grande, the timing, prices or amounts of any sales of shares or the impact, if any, on at the annual meeting.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES

Board of Directors and Committees

As of October 14, 2011, Grande had advised the Company that one of its indirect subsidiaries held beneficially 15,243,283 shares or approximately 56.2% of the outstanding common stock of Emerson. That number of shares includes the 3,391,967 Pledged Shares which, according to public filings made by Deutsche Bank in March 2010 had previously been pledged to Deutsche Bank to secure indebtedness owed to it. In February 2011, Deutsche Bank filed a Schedule 13G with the SEC stating that Deutsche Bank had sole voting and sole dispositive power over the Pledged Shares (which represent approximately 12.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock). The Company believes that both Grande and Deutsche Bank have claimed beneficial ownership of the Pledged Shares. As of October 14, 2011, the Company has not been able to verify independently the beneficial ownership of the Pledged Shares. Accordingly, the Company may be a “controlled company”, as such term is defined in Section 801(a) of the NYSE Amex Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) and is a “controlled company”, as such term is defined in Rule 405 under Regulation C of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which defines “control” more broadly as the ability to cause the direction of a company’s management and policies (“Controlled Company”). So long as Grande holds beneficially more than 50% of the outstanding common stock of Emerson, Emerson is a Controlled Company as defined by the Company Guide, and therefore is exempt from (i) the requirement that at least a majority of the directors on its Board of Directors be “independent” as defined under the NYSE Amex listing standards, (ii) the requirement to have the compensation of the Company’s executives determined by a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors or by a majority of the Board of Directors’ independent directors and (iii) the requirement to have director nominees selected by a nominating committee comprised entirely of independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors.


The Company’s Board of Directors presently consists of seven directors — Messrs. Ho, Will, Hon, Fok, Mahathir, Sethi and Snellings.its composition is unchanged since the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 (“Fiscal 2013”). The Board of Directors has determined that four of the seven current directors, Messrs. Will, Mahathir, Sethi and Snellings, meet the definition of independence as established by the NYSE AmexMKT listing standardsrules. On September 20, 2013, the Board of Directors, upon recommendation of its Corporate Governance, Nominating and SECCompensation Committee, increased the number of directors from seven directors to ten directors, such increase to be effective as of the Company’s 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Of the new nominees for election as directors, Messrs. Hunt and Manksi meet the definition of independence as established by the NYSE MKT listing rules.

The Board of Directors is responsible for the management and direction of the Company and for establishing broad corporate policies. The Board of Directors meets periodically during the Company’s fiscal year to review significant developments affecting the Company and to act on matters requiring Board of Director approval. The Board of Directors held twofour formal meetingsmeeting during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 (“Fiscal 2011”),2013, and also acted by unanimous written consent.

The Company encourages, but does not require, members of the Board of Directors to attend annual meetings of stockholders. Last year, one of the Company’s directors who was nominated for re-election attended the Company’s 20102012 Annual Meeting.

The Company’s Board of Directors has threetwo standing committees, the Audit Committee, which is a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 10A-3 thereunder, and the Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee and the Related Party Transaction Review Committee.

(the “CGNC Committee”).

Audit Committee.The Company’s Audit Committee currently consists of Mr. Sethi and Mr. Snellings, both of whom the Board of Directors has determined meet the definition of independence as established by the NYSE AmexMKT listing rules and SEC rules and its composition is unchanged since the beginning of Fiscal 2011.2013. Mr. Sethi is currently the Chairman of the Audit Committee and the “audit committee financial expert.” Pursuant to Section 803(B)(2)(c) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide (the “Company Guide”), as a smaller reporting company, the Company is required to have an audit committee of at least two independent members, as defined by the listing standards of the NYSE Amex.

MKT.

This report shall not be deemed “soliciting material” or incorporated by reference in any filing by the Company under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under either act.

The Audit Committee also considered whether the provision to the relevant entity by the independent auditor of non-audit services was compatible with maintaining the independence of the independent auditor.


Based on the reviews and discussions described above, the Audit CommitteesCommittee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 20112013 for filing with the SEC.

Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee.So long as Grande holds beneficially more than 50% of the outstanding common stock of Emerson, Emerson is a Controlled Company under Sections 804 and 805 of the Company Guide, and therefore exempt from the requirements to have (i) the compensation of its executives determined by a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors or by a majority of the Board of Directors’ independent directors and (ii) director nominees selected by a nominating committee comprised entirely of independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors. Even so, Emerson satisfies the requirements of Sections 804 and 805 of the Company Guide because the Corporate Governance, Nominating and CompensationCGNC Committee consists of three independent directors (Messrs. Mahathir, Will and only one director who is not independent, but who was appointed bySnellings).

The CGNC Committee, among other things, (i) identifies individuals qualified to become members of the Board of Directors after a determination that such appointment was inand recommends to the best interestBoard of Directors director nominees for election at the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders, (ii) reviews and monitors matters related to management development and succession, (iii) develops and implements executive compensation policies and pay for performance criteria, (iv) reviews and approves salaries, bonuses and incentive awards and (v) pre-approves any proposed transactions between the Company and the stockholders.

Mr. Mahathir is currently the Chairman of the Related Party Transaction Review Committee. The Related Party Transaction Review Committee met formally four times during Fiscal 2011.
In March 2011, after final court approval and associated appeal and implementation periods of the settlement agreement that the Company entered into to bring to a close a shareholder derivative lawsuit, the Company updated its policy regarding the review and approval of transactions with related parties to require that all proposed transactions between the Company and related parties, as defined by the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 850 (ASC 850), which are greater than $100,000 (“Covered RPT Transactions”) be pre-approved by a majority of those directors of the Company who are independent within the meaning of Section 803(A)(2) of the Company Guide, as may be amended from time to time. In reviewing and approving transactions between the Company and related parties, the independent directors are to determine whether the proposed transaction is entirely fair to the Company and in the Company’s best interest. For purposes of the policy, related parties means (i) an officer or director of the Company or the member of the immediate family of any of them or (ii) any other corporation, partnership, association, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, trust or other entity or organization in which one or more of the Company’s officers or directors are (a) directors, officers, trustees or other fiduciaries or (b) have a financial interest.
Prior to this change, the Company’s policy had required that all Covered RPT Transactions be pre-approved by the Related Party Transaction Review Committee of the Board of Directors, in accordance with the Related Party Transaction Review Committee charter. All other components of the former policy were substantially the same as the current policy.

A nomination notice must set forth as to each person whom the proponent proposes to nominate for election as a director: (a) all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected) and (b) information that will enable the Company’s Board of Directors to determine whether the candidate satisfies the minimum criteria and any additional criteria established by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Each nominee (i) must satisfy any legal requirements applicable to members of the Board of Directors; (ii) must have business, professional or other experience that will enable such nominee to provide useful input to the Board of Directors in its deliberations; and (iii) must have knowledge of the types of responsibilities expected of members of the board of directors of a public company.

the present time.

Diversity Considerations in Director Nominations

The Company does not have a formal diversity policy. The Company believes its Board of Directors represents a collection of individuals with a variety of complementary skills which, as a group, possess the appropriate skills and experience to oversee the Company’s business. The Company’s Corporate Governance, Nominating and CompensationCGNC Committee considers a wide variety of qualifications, attributes and other factors and recognizes that a diversity of viewpoints and practical experiences can enhance the effectiveness of the Company’s Board.


Board Leadership Structure

The Company does not have a formal policy regarding whether the roles of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer should be combined or separated. The Board of Directors recognizes that one of its key responsibilities is to evaluate and determine its optimal leadership structure so as to provide independent oversight of management. The Board of Directors understands that there is no single, generally accepted approach to providing Board leadership and that given the dynamic and competitive environment in which the Company operates, the right Board leadership structure may vary as circumstances warrant. Currently, the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board are separate; however, representatives of the Company’s controlling stockholder serve in each role. Mr. Hon, a director of Grande, serves as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Ho, Chairman of Grande, serves as the Company’s Chairman of the Board.

Role in Risk Oversight

Although the Company’s management is responsible for implementing systems and processes to identify and manage risks, the Company’s Board has oversight responsibility for the Company’s risk management processes. In carrying out its oversight responsibility, the Board of Directors has delegated to individual committees certain elements of its risk oversight function. This oversight is administered primarily through the following:

The Board of Directors’ review and approval of the Company’s annual budget (prepared and presented to the Board of Directors by the management team), including discussion of the opportunities and challenges facing its business;

The Board of Directors’ review and approval of the Company’s annual budget (prepared and presented to the Board of Directors by the management team), including discussion of the opportunities and challenges facing its business;
The Audit Committee’s oversight of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and its discussions with management and the independent accountants regarding the quality and adequacy of the Company’s internal controls and financial reporting; and
The Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee’s review and recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding executive officer compensation and its relationship to the Company’s business plans.

The CGNC Committee’s review and recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding executive officer compensation and its relationship to the Company’s business plans.

Process for Sending Communications to the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has established a procedure that enables stockholders to communicate in writing with members of the Board of Directors. Any such communication should be addressed to the Company’s Secretary and should be sent to such individual at c/o Emerson Radio Corp., 85 Oxford Drive, Moonachie,3 University Plaza, Suite 405, Hackensack, New Jersey 07074.07601. Any such communication must state, in a conspicuous manner, that it is intended for distribution to the entire Board of Directors. Under the procedures established by the Board of Directors, upon the Secretary’s receipt of such a communication, the Company’s Secretary will send a copy of such communication to each member of the Board of Directors, identifying it as a communication received from a stockholder. Absent unusual circumstances, at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors held more than two days after such communication has been distributed, the Board of Directors will consider the substance of any such communication.

Codes of Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers (“Code of Ethics”) that applies to its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, Controller and Treasurer. This Code of Ethics was established with the intention of focusing Senior Financial Officers on areas of ethical risk, providing guidance to help them recognize and deal with ethical issues, providing mechanisms to report unethical conduct, fostering a culture of honesty and accountability, deterring wrongdoing and promoting fair and accurate disclosure and financial reporting.

The Company has also adopted a Code of Conduct for Officers, Directors and Employees of Emerson Radio Corp. and Its Subsidiaries (“Code of Conduct”). We prepared this Code of Conduct to help all officers, directors and employees understand and comply with its policies and procedures. Overall, the purpose of the Company’s Code of Conduct is to deter wrongdoing and promote (i) honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; (ii) full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Company; (iii) compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; (iv) prompt internal reporting of code violations to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Conduct; and (v) accountability for adherence to the Code of Conduct.


The Code of Ethics and the Code of Conduct are posted on the Company’s website: www.emersonradio.com on the Investor Relations page. If the Company makes any substantive amendments to, or grant any waiver (including any implicit waiver) from a provision of the Code of Ethics or the Code of Conduct, and that relates to any element of the Code of Ethics definition enumerated in Item 406 (b) of Regulation S-K, the Company will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on its website or in a current report on Form 8-K.

AsFurthermore, because S&T has regained control of October 14,a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of Emerson, Emerson is once again a Controlled company, as defined in Section 801(a) of the NYSE MKT Rules.

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 of the Company, and Roderick John Sutton, both of FTI Consulting (Hong Kong) Limited (“FTI”), as Joint and Several Provisional Liquidators over Grande. Accordingly, as of May 31, 2011, the Company has not been abledirectors of Grande no longer have the ability to verify independentlyexercise control over Grande or the beneficial ownershippower to direct the voting and disposition of the Pledged Shares.

In addition, on March 20, 2013, the Provisional Liquidators informed Emerson that they are obligated to liquidate the 15,243,283 shares beneficially owned by Grande. The Company can make no assurances regarding whether or to what extent such shares will be liquidated or retained by Grande, the timing, prices or amounts of any sales of shares or the impact, if any, on the Company, its other shareholders or the trading price of its common stock of any actual or anticipated dispositions of shares by the Provisional Liquidators.

Dividend-Related Issues with S&T

On March 2, 2010, the aforementioned lawsuit.

In May 2011, Emerson paid a travel advanceBoard declared an extraordinary dividend of $15,500 to Mr. Will for anticipated Emerson-related business travel to occur in a future period.
In July 2011, Emerson paid a consulting fee of $3,300 to Mr. Will for work performed by Mr. Will during the months of April through June 2011 on mergers and acquisitions matters.
During the twelve months ending March 31, 2011, Akai Sales Pte Ltd. (“Akai Sales”), a subsidiary of Grande, invoiced Emerson approximately $7,300 for travel expenses$1.10 per common share, which Akai Saleswas paid on Emerson’s behalfMarch 24, 2010. In connection with the Company’s determination as to the taxability of the dividend, the Board relied upon information and Emerson reimbursedresearch provided to Akai Sales during Fiscal 2011.
it by the Company’s tax advisors and, in reliance on the “stock-for-debt” exception in the Internal Revenue Code Sections 108(e)(8) and (e)(10), concluded that 4.9% of such dividend paid was taxable to the recipients.

In August 2012, the Company received a Form 886-A from the IRS which challenges the Company’s conclusions and determines that the Company does not qualify for the above-referenced exception. Accordingly, the IRS has concluded that 100% of the dividend paid was taxable to the recipients. The Company is defending its position and calculations and is contesting the position asserted by the IRS. The Company prepared and, on October 25, 2012, delivered its rebuttal to the IRS contesting the IRS determination. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in defending its position.

In the event that the Company is not successful in establishing with the IRS that the Company’s calculations were correct, then the shareholders who received the dividend likely will be subject to and liable for an assessment of additional taxes due. Moreover, the Company may be contingently liable for taxes due by its shareholders resulting from the dividend paid by the Company.

Initially, the Company withheld from the dividend paid to foreign shareholders an amount equal to the tax liability associated with such dividend. On April 7, 2010, upon a request made to the Company by its foreign controlling stockholder,shareholder, S&T, the Company entered into an agreement with S&T (the “Agreement”), whereby the Company returned to S&T on April 7, 2010 that portion of the funds withheld for taxes that the Company had withheld from the dividend paid on March 24, 2010 to S&T, which the Company believes is not subject to U.S. tax based on the Company’s good-faith estimate of its accumulated earnings and profits (the “Agreement”).profits. The Agreement includes provisions pursuant to which S&T agreed to indemnify the Company for any liability imposed on it as a result of the Company’s agreement not to withhold such funds for S&T’s possible tax liability and a pledge of stock as collateral. The Company believescontinues to assert that such dividend is largely not subject to U.S. tax based on the Company’s good-faith estimate of its accumulated earnings and profits. In addition, the Company also continues to assert that this transaction results in an off-balance sheet arrangement which is comprised ofand a possible contingent tax liability of the Company, which, if recognized, would be offset in part by the calling by the Company on S&T of the indemnification provisions of the Agreement.

Per the terms of the Agreement, Emerson invoiced S&T in June 2010 approximately $42,000 for reimbursement of legal fees incurred by Emerson with regard to the Agreement and approximately $33,000 as a transaction fee for having entered into the Agreement. In January 2011, Emerson agreed, upon the request of S&T, to waive approximately $5,000 of the legal charges that had been invoiced to S&T in June 2010. S&T paid the full amount owed to Emerson of approximately $70,000 in February 2011.

In February 2011, upon the request of S&T to the Company, the Company and S&T agreed that the collateral pledged as a part of the Agreement would no longer be required and thissuch collateral was returned by the Company to S&T in March 2011.

2011 and the Agreement was amended and restated to remove the collateral requirement but retain the indemnification provisions. The Agreement, as amended (the “Amended Agreement”), remains in effect as of today. In the event that (i) the Company is not successful in establishing with the IRS that the Company’s calculations were correct and (ii) S&T is unable or unwilling to pay the additional taxes due or indemnify the Company under the terms of the Amended Agreement, the Company may be liable to pay such additional taxes which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Other

During each of the twelve months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, Emerson invoiced Vigers Appraisal & Consulting Ltd. (“Vigers”), a related party of Christopher Ho, approximately $4,000 for usage of telephone and data lines maintained by Emerson. Vigers owed Emerson approximately $1,000 at both March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, related to this activity.

Review and Approval of Transactions with Related Parties

In March 2011, after final court approval and associated appeal and implementation periods

It is the policy of the settlement agreementCompany that the Company entered into to bring to a close a shareholder derivative lawsuit, the Company updated its policy regarding the review and approval of transactions with related parties to require that allany proposed transactions between the Company and related parties, as defined by the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 850 (ASC 850) (“RPT Transactions”), must be pre-approved by the Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee of the Board (the “CGNC Committee”). Any proposed RPT Transaction which areis less than or equal to $100,000 in value must be pre-approved by the CGNC Committee and any RPT Transaction which is greater than $100,000 (“Covered RPT Transactions”)in value must be pre-approved by a majority of those directors of the Company who are independent within the meaning of Section 803(A)(2) of theNYSE MKT Company Guide §803(A)(2), as may be amended from time to time. In reviewing and approving transactions between the Company and related parties, the CGNC Committee and independent directors are to determine whether the proposed transaction is entirely fair to the Company and in the Company’s best interest. For purposes of the policy, related parties means (i) an officer or director of the Company or the member of the immediate family of any of them or (ii) any other corporation, partnership, association, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, trust or other entity or organization in which one or more of the Company’s officers or directors are (a) directors, officers, trustees or other fiduciaries or (b) have a financial interest.

Prior to this change, the Company’s policy had required that all Covered RPT Transactions be pre-approved by the Related Party Transaction Review Committee of the Board of Directors, in accordance with the Related Party Transaction Review Committee charter. All other components of the policy were substantially the same as the current policy.


Legal Proceedings

In re: 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, with interest, approximately $47$60 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, based on an initial review, 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. On or about February 27, 2012, the Court dismissed the intentional interference claim (the “Motion”).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. On September 6, 2012, the Court dismissed the RICO claim, but granted the plaintiffs leave to re-plead. On September 17, 2012, the plaintiffs filed a Third Amended Complaint setting forth the same claims as the Complaint. The Company’s response to the Third Amended Complaint was due and filed on October 4, 2012, which joined in a co-defendants’ motion to dismiss the alter ego claim and the RICO claim. The Court has scheduledheard oral argument on December 17, 2012. On May 9, 2013, the Court granted, in part, the motion to dismiss and dismissed the RICO claim with prejudice. On May 23, 2013, Emerson filed an Answer in which it denied the allegations of the Third Amended Complaint. Discovery, which included the exchange of thousands of documents and numerous depositions of fact and expert witnesses, is now complete. On June 24, 2013, Emerson, and the other parties moved for summary judgment seeking dismissal of the Motion for December 19, 2011. Inremaining two claims. The court held oral argument on that motion on July 29, 2013. On August 28, 2013, the interim,Court granted the motion, in part, and indismissed the event thatintentional interference claim. The alter ego claim is the Motion is denied,only remaining claim. Emerson intendswill continue to defend the action vigorously.

This matter is scheduled for trial on October 29, 2013.

PROPOSAL 2: ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE

OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act requires us to obtain an advisory vote (non-binding) from our stockholders on our executive compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, which is often referred to as a “say on pay” proposal, at least once every three years.

As a guiding principle, the Company has designed its executive compensation program to motivate, retain and reward our executives for superior short- and long-term performance for the Company and its stockholders.

We are asking that our stockholders indicate their support of our executive compensation as described in this proxy statement. While this advisory vote on executive compensation is non-binding, our Board and the Compensation Committee will review the outcome of this vote and take the vote into consideration when reviewing our compensation policies and procedures. This is not intended to address specific items of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our Named Executive Officers and our executive compensation policies and procedures as described in this proxy statement. Stockholders who want to communicate with our Board of Directors should refer to “Communications with the Board of Directors” in this proxy statement for additional information.

At the Annual Meeting we will ask our stockholders to approve the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Named Executive Officers, as described in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the 2013 Summary Compensation Table and the other compensation related tables and disclosure.”

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY’S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

PROPOSAL 3: ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE

ADVISORY VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The recently enacted Dodd-Frank Act requires us to obtain an advisory vote (non-binding) from our stockholders indicating how frequently we should seek an advisory vote on our executive compensation, such as Proposal 2 included on page [            ] of this proxy statement. By voting on this Proposal 3, stockholders may indicate whether they would prefer an advisory vote on our executive compensation at the annual meeting of stockholders once every one, two, or three years.

After careful consideration of this Proposal, our Board of Directors has determined that an advisory vote on executive compensation that occurs every three years is the most appropriate alternative for us, and therefore our Board of Directors recommends that you vote for an advisory vote on executive compensation every three years. In formulating its recommendation, our Board of Directors considered that an annual advisory vote on our executive compensation will not only provide our stockholders with direct input on our executive compensation, but also will allow stockholders, our management and our Board of Directors time to evaluate the effects of our executive compensation policies and procedures. This approach will further provide us with time to implement improvements and changes to address any concerns reflected by a negative vote.

You may cast your vote for your preferred voting frequency by choosing the option of one year, two years, or three years or abstain from voting when you vote in response to the resolution set forth below:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders of the Company determine on an advisory basis, that the frequency with which the stockholders of the Company shall have an advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers as set forth in the Company’s proxy statement is Option 1 - once every year, Option 2 - once every 2 years, Option 3 - once every three years, or Option 4 - abstain from voting.”

Although this vote is advisory and not binding, the Board will carefully review the results of the vote in making the determination as to the frequency of future advisory votes on our executive compensation.

YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE OPTION OF ONCE EVERY THREE

YEARS AS THE FREQUENCY WITH WHICH OUR STOCKHOLDERS ARE PROVIDED AN ADVISORY VOTE ON OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

PROPOSAL 5: SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL TO REQUEST

THE BOARD TO DECLARE AND PAY A SPECIAL DIVIDEND

Harper Asset Management, LLC (“Harper”), 2605 Brookline Circle, Atlanta, GA, an Emerson stockholder, has requested that a proposal regarding the declaration of a dividend be presented for stockholder vote at the annual meeting. The proposal, along with Harper’s supporting statement, is included verbatim below. The number of shares of Emerson stock held by Harper will be supplied upon oral or written request to Emerson.

For the reasons set forth following the proposal and supporting statement of Harper, management of Emerson disagrees with Harper’s proposal and supporting statement.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “AGAINST” Harper’s proposal.

Approval of Harper’s proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock represented at the meeting and entitled to vote.

Harper’s Proposal and Supporting Statement

Harper’s Proposed Stockholder Resolution

RESOLVED: The stockholders request the Board of Directors pay a special dividend.

Harper’s Supporting Statement

The company previously paid a $1.10 per share cash dividend to stockholders in March 2010, but has not paid any further dividends since that time. Since the last dividend was paid, the company’s stock price has declined from $2.15 to $1.52 as of June 9th, 2013.

Among the main reasons investors are attracted to a company with cash balances is the prospect of potential cash dividends. The company had $58.4 million in cash and investments reported as of 12/31/2012 on Form 10-Q. This is well in excess of the $38.8 million in cash and investments at the quarter end prior to the previous dividend. Given the company’s strong balance sheet, low capital expenditures and declining working capital needs, such cash should be returned to the company’s owners.

Shareholder requests that the board of directors declare and pay a special dividend to shareholders.

Shareholders are strongly urged to vote “Yes” for this proposal.

Management’s Statement in Opposition

Under Delaware law, the declaration and payment of dividends is within the discretion of the Board of Directors, whose members are elected by the stockholders to exercise sound business judgment in deciding such matters. As a part of its fiduciary duties, the Board periodically evaluates whether the Company should pay a dividend. In making that decision, the Board has considered, and will continue to consider a variety of factors in an effort to balance the anticipated needs of the Company for liquidity, the ability of the Company to generate earnings and cash flow, and the most effective means to enhance stockholder value. The Board continues to actively review how the Company deploys its available cash, including the possibility of paying cash dividends in the future. The Board believes that the declaration and payment of dividends, and the timing and amount of any dividends, should remain subject to the Board’s discretion and its exercise of sound business judgment. For these reasons, the Board of Directors urges Emerson stockholders to vote “AGAINST” Harper’s proposal requesting the payment of a dividend.

For these reasons, the Board of Directors and management strongly urge Emerson stockholders to vote “AGAINST” Harper’s proposal regarding the declaration of a dividend.

PROPOSAL 6: SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL RECOMMEND

TO THE BOARD TO ADOPT CUMULATIVE VOTING

Lloyd I. Miller (“Miller”), 222 Lakeview Avenue, Suite 160-365, West Palm Beach, Florida, an Emerson stockholder, has requested that a proposal regarding the adoption of cumulative voting be presented for stockholder vote at the annual meeting. The proposal, along with Miller’s supporting statement, is included verbatim below. The number of shares of Emerson stock held by Miller will be supplied upon oral or written request to Emerson.

For the reasons set forth following the proposal and supporting statement of Miller, management of Emerson disagrees with Miller’s proposal and supporting statement.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “AGAINST” Miller’s proposal.

Approval of Miller’s proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock represented at the meeting and entitled to vote.

Miller’s Proposal and Supporting Statement

Miller’s Proposed Stockholder Resolution

RESOLVED: Cumulative Voting. Stockholders recommend that our Board take the steps necessary to adopt cumulative voting. Cumulative voting means that each stockholder may cast as many votes as equal to number of shares held, multiplied by the number of directors to be elected. A stockholder may cast all such cumulated votes for a single director candidate or focus votes on a few candidates. Under cumulative voting, stockholders can withhold votes from directors who are performing poorly, if there are any, in order to cast multiple votes for other director candidates. This is an important protection for stockholders.

Miller’s Supporting Statement

The Company’s controlling stockholder, Grande Holdings Limited (In Liquidation) (“Grande”), is represented on the Company’s Board by the following directors: Mr. Fok Hei Yu, as provisional liquidator of Grande with control over the shares owned by Grande, and Mr. Christopher Ho, the Chairman of the Board of both Grande and the Company. Cumulative voting would allow significant stockholders to elect a director of their choice, thereby safeguarding minority stockholder interests and bringing independent views to Board decisions.

Institutional Shareholder Services guidelines for 2013 recommend a vote FOR proposals for cumulative voting at companies where insiders have greater than 50% voting power.

By voting FOR this Cumulative Voting Proposal, you will be sending a clear message to the Board that minority stockholders, meaning public stockholders other than Grande and its affiliates, deserve the opportunity to have a meaningful vote in the election of Directors.

Please vote to protect stockholder value and FOR: Shareholder Proposal – Cumulative Voting.

Management’s Statement in Opposition

Cumulative voting may have the appearance of fairness, but in reality cumulative voting could serve the interests of special interest groups. It could make it possible for such a group to elect one or more directors beholden to the group’s narrow interests. This could lead to factions and discord within the Board and undermine its ability to work effectively on behalf of the interests of all of the stockholders. The present system of voting utilized by the Company and by most leading corporations, which is to elect directors by allowing each share of common stock to have one vote for each Board seat, prevents the “stacking” of votes behind potentially partisan directors. We believe the present system is thus more likely to promote the election of a more effective Board in which each director can better represent the interests of all the stockholders. For these reasons, the Board of Directors urges Emerson stockholders to vote “AGAINST” Miller’s proposal regarding cumulative voting.

For these reasons, the Board of Directors and management strongly urge

Emerson stockholders to vote “AGAINST” Miller’s proposal regarding cumulative voting.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP

REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, officers, and stockholders who beneficially own more than 10% of any class of its equity securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with respect to the Company’s equity securities with the SEC and the NYSE MKT. All reporting persons are required to furnish the Company with copies of all reports that such reporting persons file with the SEC pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

Based solely upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments to these forms furnished to the Company, and Forms 5, along with amendments thereto, all parties subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) timely filed all such required reports during and with respect to Fiscal 2013.

STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS AND PROPOSALS

The Company’s Board of Directors has established a procedure that enables stockholders to communicate in writing with members of the Company’s Board of Directors. Any such communication should be addressed to the Company’s Secretary and should be sent to such individual c/o Emerson Radio Corp., 3 University Plaza, Suite 405, Hackensack, New Jersey 07061. Any such communication must state, in a conspicuous manner, that it is intended for distribution to the entire Board of Directors. Under the procedures established by the Board of Directors, upon the Secretary’s receipt of such a communication, the Company’s Secretary will send a copy of such communication to each member of the Board of Directors, identifying it as a communication received from a stockholder. Absent unusual circumstances, at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors held more than two days after such communication has been distributed, the Board of Directors will consider the substance of any such communication.

Stockholder proposals to be presented at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2014, for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy relating to that meeting, must be received by the Company at its offices located at 3 University Plaza, Suite 405, Hackensack, New Jersey 07601, addressed to the Secretary, on or before June 20, 2014. If, however, the date of the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is changed by more than thirty (30) days from the date of its 2013 annual meeting, the deadline is a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and mail its proxy materials for the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Such stockholder proposals must comply with the Company’s bylaws and the requirements of Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act. See “Election of Directors” for information on stockholder submissions of nominations for election to the Board of Directors.

Rule 14a-4 of the Exchange Act governs the Company’s use of discretionary proxy voting authority with respect to a stockholder proposal that is not addressed in the proxy statement. With respect to the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, if the Company is not provided notice of a stockholder proposal prior to September 3, 2014, the Company will be permitted to use its discretionary voting authority when the proposal is raised at the meeting, without any discussion of the matter in the proxy statement.

The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company will pay the cost of soliciting proxies in the accompanying form. The Company’s officers may solicit proxies by mail, telephone, telegraph or fax.
