		Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	a)Description of Business
	Effective December 1, 2011, Audiovox Corporation changed its name to VOXX International Corporation ("Voxx," "We," "Our," "Us" or "the Company"). The Company believes that the name VOXX International is a name that better represents the widely diversified interests of the Company, and the more than 30 global brands it has acquired and grown throughout the years, achieving a powerful international vehicle for each of these respective brands to emerge with its own identity. Voxx is a leading international manufacturer and distributor in the Automotive, Premium Audio and Consumer Accessories industries. The Company has widely diversified interests, with more than 30 global brands that it has acquired and grown throughout the years, achieving a powerful international corporate image and creating a vehicle for each of these respective brands to emerge with its own identity. We conduct our business through nineteen wholly-owned subsidiaries: Audiovox Atlanta Corp., VOXX Electronics Corporation, VOXX Accessories Corp., Audiovox Consumer Electronics, Inc. ("ACE"), Audiovox German Holdings GmbH ("Audiovox Germany"), Audiovox Venezuela, C.A., Audiovox Canada Limited, Audiovox Hong Kong Ltd., Audiovox International Corp., Audiovox Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. ("Audiovox Mexico"), Technuity, Inc., Code Systems, Inc., Oehlbach Kabel GmbH ("Oehlbach"), Schwaiger GmbH ("Schwaiger"), Invision Automotive Systems, Inc. ("Invision"), Klipsch Holding LLC ("Klipsch"), Car Communication Holding GmbH ("Hirschmann"), Omega Research and Development, LLC ("Omega") and Audiovox Websales LLC. We market our products under the Audiovox® brand name, other brand names and licensed brands, such as 808®, Acoustic Research®, Advent®, Ambico®, Car Link®, Chapman®, Code-Alarm®, Energy®, Heco®, Hirschmann Car Communication®, Incaar™, Invision®, Jamo®, Jensen®, Klipsch®, Mac Audio™, Magnat®, Mirage®, Oehlbach®, Omega®, Phase Linear®, Prestige®, Pursuit®, RCA®, RCA Accessories®, Schwaiger®, Spikemaster®, Recoton®, Road Gear®, and Terk®, as well as private labels through a large domestic and international distribution network.  We also function as an OEM ("Original Equipment Manufacturer") supplier to several customers.
	b)Principles of Consolidation, Reclassifications and Accounting Principles
	The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of VOXX International Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company acquired Car Communication Holding GmbH ("Hirschmann") on March 14, 2012. The consolidated financial statements presented for the years ended February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 include the operations of Hirschmann beginning March 14, 2012. The Company acquired Klipsch Group, Inc. and its worldwide subsidiaries ("Klipsch") on March 1, 2011. The consolidated financial statements for the full years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 include the operations of Klipsch.
	Equity investments in which the Company exercises significant influence but does not control and is not the primary beneficiary are accounted for using the equity method.  The Company's share of its equity method investees' earnings or losses is included in other income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The Company eliminates its pro rata share of gross profit on sales to its equity method investees for inventory on hand at the investee at the end of the year. Investments in which the Company is not able to exercise significant influence over the investee are accounted for under the cost method.
	Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Effective December 1, 2012, the Company realigned its subsidiaries into three operating segments based upon the Company's products and internal organization structure (see Note 13).
	The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
	c)Use of Estimates
	The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses.  Such estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts and inventory valuation, recoverability of deferred tax assets, reserve for uncertain tax positions, valuation of long-lived assets, accrued sales incentives, warranty reserves, stock-based compensation, valuation and impairment assessment of investment securities, goodwill, trademarks and other intangible assets, valuation of pension plan assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	d)Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits with banks and highly liquid money market funds with original maturities of three months or less when purchased.  Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $10,603 and $19,777 at February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, respectively.  Cash amounts held in foreign bank accounts amounted to $9,080 and $12,121 at February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, respectively. The majority of these amounts are in excess of government insurance. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in institutions and funds of high credit quality. We perform periodic evaluations of these institutions and funds.
	e)Fair Value Measurements and Derivatives
	The Company applies the authoritative guidance on "Fair Value Measurements," which among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about investments that are measured and reported at fair value. This guidance establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
	Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
	Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable.
	Level 3 - Unobservable inputs developed using the Company's estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use.
	The following table presents assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at February 28, 2014:
						Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
						Level 1				Level 2

	Cash and money market funds	$	10,603			$	10,603			$	—

	Total  long-term investment securities	$	13,570			$	3,660			$	—
	(a)	There were no events or changes in circumstances that occurred to indicate a significant adverse effect on the cost of these investments.
	The carrying amount of the Company's accounts receivable, short-term debt, accounts payable, accrued expenses, bank obligations and long-term debt approximates fair value because of (i) the short-term nature of the financial instrument; (ii) the interest rate on the financial instrument being reset every quarter to reflect current market rates, and (iii) the stated or implicit interest rate approximates the current market rates or are not materially different than market rates.
	Derivative Instruments
	The Company's derivative instruments include forward foreign currency contracts utilized to hedge a portion of its foreign currency inventory purchases, local operating expenses, as well as its general economic exposure to foreign currency fluctuations created in the normal course of business. During Fiscal 2014, the Company also entered into three interest rate swap agreements, two of which hedge interest rate exposure related to the forecasted outstanding borrowings on a portion of its credit facility ("Credit Facility"), which was subsequently amended through January 9, 2019 ("Amended Facility") (see Note 6), and the third hedges interest rate exposure related to the forecasted outstanding balance of one of its mortgage notes, with monthly payments due through May 2023. The two swap agreements related to the Amended Facility lock the Company's LIBOR rates at 0.515% and 0.518% (exclusive of credit spread) for the respective agreements through the swaps' maturities. The swap agreement related to the Company's mortgage locks the interest rate on the debt at 3.92% (inclusive of credit spread) through the end of the mortgage. The forward foreign currency derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting are designated as cash flow hedges and valued using observable forward rates for the same or similar instruments (Level 2). Forward foreign currency contracts not designated under hedged transactions were valued at spot rates for the same or similar instruments (Level 2). The duration of open forward foreign currency contracts range from 1 - 12 months and are classified in the balance sheet according to their terms. Interest rate swap agreements qualifying for hedge accounting are designated as cash flow hedges and valued based on a comparison of the change in fair value of the actual swap contracts designated as the hedging instruments and the change in fair value of a hypothetical swap contract (Level 2). We calculate the fair value of interest rate swap agreements quarterly based on the quoted market price for the same or similar financial instruments. Interest rate swaps are classified in the balance sheet as either non-current assets or non-current liabilities based on the fair value of the instruments at the end of the period.
	It is the Company's policy to enter into derivative instrument contracts with terms that coincide with the underlying exposure being hedged. As such, the Company's derivative instruments are expected to be highly effective. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, is recognized as incurred through other income (expense) in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and amounted to $156 and $30 for the years ended February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, respectively.
	Financial Statement Classification
	The Company holds derivative instruments that are designated as hedging instruments as well as certain instruments not so designated. The following table discloses the fair value as of February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 for both types of derivative instruments:
			Derivative Assets and Liabilities
					Fair Value
			Account		February 28, 2014				February 28, 2013
	Designated derivative instruments
	Foreign currency contracts		Accrued expenses and other current liabilities		$	(784	)		$	(87	)
			Prepaid expenses and other current assets		—				77
	Interest rate swaps		Other long term liabilities		(179		)		—
	Derivatives not designated
	Foreign currency contracts		Accrued expenses and other current liabilities		—				(21		)
	Total derivatives				$	(963	)		$	(31	)
In connection with the acquisition of Hirschmann, on March 14, 2012, the Company acquired contracts which were unable to qualify for hedge accounting during the year ended February 28, 2013. None of these contracts remained outstanding at February 28, 2014. Four of these contracts settled during the year ended February 28, 2014 for a gain of $32. As of February 28, 2013, the Company held four foreign currency contracts that were derivatives not designated in hedged transactions and settled thirty-two such contracts during the year ended February 28, 2013. During the twelve months ended February 28, 2013, the Company recorded gains on the change in fair value of these derivatives of $48 in other income and expense on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and a gain upon the settlement of these contracts of $106.
Cash flow hedges
During Fiscal 2014, the Company entered into forward foreign currency contracts, which have a current outstanding notional value of $26,535 and are designated as cash flow hedges. For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.
Activity related to cash flow hedges recorded during the twelve months ended February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 was as follows:
	February 28, 2014											February 28, 2013
	Gain (Loss) Recognized in Other Comprehensive Income				Gain (Loss) Reclassified into Cost of Sales				Gain (Loss) for Ineffectiveness in Other Income			Gain (Loss) Recognized in Other Comprehensive Income			Gain (Loss) Reclassified into Cost of Sales			Gain (Loss) for Ineffectiveness in Other Income
Cash flow hedges
Foreign currency contracts	$	(1,061	)		$	(406	)		$	(156	)	$	197		$	(326	)	$	30
Interest rate swaps	$	179			$	—			$	—		$	—		$	—		$	—
The net loss recognized in other comprehensive income for foreign currency contracts is expected to be recognized in cost of sales within the next fifteen months. No amounts were excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness during the respective periods. As of February 28, 2014, no contracts originally designated for hedged accounting were de-designated or terminated.
f)Investment Securities
In accordance with the Company's investment policy, all long and short-term investment securities are invested in "investment grade" rated securities. As of February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, the Company had the following investments:
	February 28, 2014											February 28, 2013
	Cost				Unrealized				Fair			Cost			Unrealized			Fair

Long-Term Investments
Trading Securities
The Company’s trading securities consist of mutual funds, which are held in connection with the Company’s deferred compensation plan (see Note 10). Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities offset those associated with the corresponding deferred compensation liability.
Available-For-Sale Securities
The Company’s available-for-sale marketable securities include a less than 20% equity ownership in CLST Holdings, Inc. ("Cellstar") and Bliss-tel Public Company Limited ("Bliss-tel").
Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect (if applicable), on available-for-sale securities are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific identification basis.
A decline in the market value of any held to maturity or available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed other-than-temporary results in a reduction in carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established.  The Company considers numerous factors, on a case-by-case basis, in evaluating whether the decline in market value of an available-for-sale security below cost is other-than-temporary. Such factors include, but are not limited to, (i) the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost; (ii) the financial condition and the near-term prospects of the issuer of the investment; and (iii) whether the Company's intent to retain the investment for the period of time is sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. For the year ended February 29, 2012, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary loss related to its Bliss-tel investment of $1,225. No other-than-temporary losses were incurred for the years ended February 28, 2014 or February 28, 2013.
Held-to-Maturity Investment
Long-term investments include an investment in U.S. dollar-denominated bonds issued by the Venezuelan government, which is classified as held-to-maturity and accounted for under the amortized cost method. The bond matures in Fiscal 2016.
Other Long-Term Investments
Other long-term investments include an investment in a non-controlled corporation of $2,225 and $2,319 at February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, respectively, accounted for by the cost method. During Fiscal 2013, the Company loaned an additional $250 to the company. No investments or loans were made in or to the investment in Fiscal 2012 or Fiscal 2014. As of February 28, 2014 the Company holds approximately 16.5% of the outstanding shares of this company. The fair value of this investment was not estimated at February 28, 2014, as there were no indications that this investment was impaired.
g)Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales at the time of passage of title and risk of loss to the customer either at FOB shipping point or FOB destination, based upon terms established with the customer. The Company's selling price to its customers is a fixed amount that is not subject to refund or adjustment or contingent upon additional rebates.  Any customer acceptance provisions, which are related to product testing, are satisfied prior to revenue recognition. There are no further obligations on the part of the Company subsequent to revenue recognition except for product returns from the Company's customers. The Company does accept product returns, if properly requested, authorized, and approved by the Company. The Company records an estimate of product returns by its customers and records the provision for the estimated amount of such future returns at point of sale, based on historical experience and any notification the Company receives of pending returns.
The Company includes all costs incurred for shipping and handling as cost of sales and all amounts billed to customers as revenue. During the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013, and February 29, 2012, freight costs expensed through cost of sales amounted to $19,221, $18,762 and $18,172, respectively and freight billed to customers amounted to $1,543, $990 and $1,181, respectively.
h)Accounts Receivable
The majority of the Company's accounts receivable are due from companies in the retail, mass merchant and OEM industries. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer's financial condition. Accounts receivable are generally due within 30-60 days and are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than the contracted payment terms are considered past due.
Accounts receivable is comprised of the following:
	February 28,				February 28,
	2014				2013
Trade accounts receivable and other	$	155,132			$	161,667
Less:
Allowance for doubtful accounts	6,889				7,840
Allowance for cash discounts	1,189				1,231
	$	147,054			$	152,596
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customers' current credit worthiness, as determined by a review of their current credit information. The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. While such credit losses have historically been within management's expectations and the provisions established, the Company cannot guarantee it will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that have been experienced in the past. Since the Company's accounts receivable are concentrated in a relatively few number of customers, a significant change in the liquidity or financial position of any one of these customers could have a material adverse impact on the collectability of the Company's accounts receivable and future operating results.
During Fiscal 2014, the Company entered into two supply chain financing agreements ("factoring agreements") with Wells Fargo and Citibank ("the banks") to accelerate receivable collection and better manage cash flow. Under the factoring agreements, the Company has agreed to sell the banks certain of its accounts receivable balances. For those accounts receivables tendered to the banks and that the banks choose to purchase, the banks have agreed to advance an amount equal to the net accounts receivable balances due, less a discount as set forth in the respective agreements. The Company's German subsidiary also has a factoring agreement with GE Capital AG that was entered into in October 2000 under which the subsidiary may factor up to €16,000 of accounts receivable at a time. The factored balances for all three of these agreements are sold without recourse and are accounted for as sales of accounts receivable. Total balances factored for the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 were approximately $100,000, $77,000 and $93,000, respectively. Fees incurred in connection with the factoring agreements totaled $258, $213 and $259 for the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, respectively.
i)Inventory
The Company values its inventory at the lower of the actual cost to purchase (primarily on a weighted moving-average basis with a portion valued at standard cost) and/or the current estimated market value of the inventory less expected costs to sell the inventory. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on-hand and records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on selling prices, indications from customers based upon current price negotiations and purchase orders.  The Company's industry is characterized by rapid technological change and frequent new product introductions that could result in an increase in the amount of obsolete inventory quantities on-hand.  The Company recorded inventory write-downs of $3,602, $4,300 and $2,942 for the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, respectively.
Inventories by major category are as follows:
	February 28,				February 28,
	2014				2013
Raw materials	$	32,193			$	35,240
Work in process	4,664				5,316
Finished goods	107,482				118,543
Inventory, net	$	144,339			$	159,099
j)Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Property under a capital lease is stated at the present value of minimum lease payments. Major improvements and replacements that extend service lives of the assets are capitalized. Minor replacements, and routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated balance sheets.
A summary of property, plant and equipment, net, is as follows:
	February 28,				February 28,
	2014				2013
Land	$	6,652			$	6,421
Buildings	44,378				42,670
Property under capital lease	8,473				8,080
Furniture, fixtures and displays	4,951				4,296
Machinery and equipment	30,512				25,659
Construction-in-progress	1,856				4,159
Computer hardware and software	33,738				24,325
Automobiles	1,236				914
Leasehold improvements	10,505				9,415
	142,301				125,939
Less accumulated depreciation and amortization	59,079				49,731
	$	83,222			$	76,208
Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Buildings		20-30 years
Furniture, fixtures and displays		5-10 years
Machinery and equipment		5-10 years
Computer hardware and software		3-5 years
Automobiles		3 years
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Assets acquired under capital leases are amortized over the term of the respective lease. Accumulated amortization of assets under capital lease totaled $4,475 and $4,036 at February 28, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment amounted to $10,252, $10,440 and $6,111 for the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, respectively. Included in depreciation and amortization expense is amortization of computer software costs of $1,300, $794 and $553 for the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, respectively. Also included in depreciation and amortization expense is $439, $483 and $251 of amortization expense related to property under capital leases for the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, respectively.
k)Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets consist of the excess over the fair value of assets acquired (goodwill), and other intangible assets (patents, contracts, trademarks/tradenames and customer relationships).  Values assigned to the respective assets are determined in accordance with ASC 805 "Business Combinations" ("ASC 805") and ASC 350 "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other" ("ASC 350").
Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the cost of purchased businesses over the value of their underlying net assets. Generally, the primary valuation method used to determine the Fair Value ("FV") of acquired businesses is the Discounted Future Cash Flow Method ("DCF").  A five-year period is analyzed using a risk adjusted discount rate.
The value of potential intangible assets separate from goodwill are independently evaluated and assigned to the respective categories.  The largest categories from recently acquired businesses are Trademarks and Customer Relationships. The FV’s of trademarks acquired are determined using the Relief from Royalty Method based on projected sales of the trademarked products.  The FV’s of customer relationships are determined using the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method which includes a DCF analysis, adjusted for a required return on tangible and intangible assets. The Company categorizes this fair value determination as Level 3 (unobservable) in the fair value hierarchy, as described in Note 1(e). The guidance in ASC 350, including management’s business intent for its use; ongoing market demand for products relevant to the category and their ability to generate future cash flows; legal, regulatory or contractual provisions on its use or subsequent renewal, as applicable; and the cost to maintain or renew the rights to the assets, are considered in determining the useful life of all intangible assets.  If the Company determines that there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors which limit the useful life of the asset, an indefinite life will be assigned and evaluated for impairment as indicated below.  Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not amortized.  Intangible assets that have a definite useful life are amortized over their estimated useful life.
ASC 350 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives be tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that could more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.  Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are required to be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment if indicators of impairment exist. To determine the fair value of these intangible assets, there are many assumptions and estimates used that directly impact the results of the testing. Management has the ability to influence the outcome and ultimate results based on the assumptions and estimates chosen. To mitigate undue influence, the Company set criteria that are reviewed and approved by various levels of management. Additionally, the Company may evaluate our recorded intangible assets with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, as necessary. All reports and conclusions are reviewed by management who has ultimate responsibility for their content. If a significant change in these estimates occurs, the Company could experience impairment charges, in addition to those noted below, in future periods.
Goodwill is tested using a two-step process. The first step is to identify a potential impairment, and the second step measures the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value. Voxx's reporting units that carry goodwill are Hirschmann, Invision and Klipsch. The Company has three operating segments based upon its products and internal organizational structure (see Note 13). These operating segments are the Automotive, Premium Audio and Consumer Accessories segments. The Hirschmann and Invision reporting units are located within the Automotive segment and the Klipsch reporting unit is located within the Premium Audio segment.The goodwill for the reporting units were tested as of February 28, 2014 using a discounted future cash flow method with discount rates that ranged from 12.5% to 15.1% within the analyses. The resulting fair values of the reporting units were evaluated giving consideration to the market capitalization of the Company. Based on the Company's goodwill impairment assessment, the Hirschmann and Invision reporting units with goodwill had estimated fair values as of February 28, 2014 that exceeded their carrying values.
Upon completion of the annual Step 1 assessment for the year ended February 28, 2014, the estimated fair value of the Klipsch reporting unit did not exceed its carrying amount, including goodwill. As a result, the second phase of the goodwill impairment test ("Step 2") was performed specific to Klipsch. Under Step 2, the fair value of all Klipsch's assets and liabilities were estimated, including tangible and intangible assets. The implied fair value of the goodwill as a residual was then compared to the recorded goodwill to determine the amount of impairment. As a result of this analysis, an impairment charge of $32,163 was recorded for goodwill for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2014 in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) within the Premium Audio segment. No impairment charges were recorded related to goodwill during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013. The goodwill balances of Hirschmann, Invision and Klipsch at February 28, 2014 are $64,033, $7,373 and $46,532, respectively.
For intangible assets with indefinite lives, primarily trademarks, the Company compared the fair value of each intangible asset with its carrying amount. To compute the fair value at February 28, 2014, various considerations were evaluated including current sales associated with these brands, management’s expectations for future sales and performance of the business. With the exception of the Technuity intangibles below, at the present time, management intends to continue the development, marketing and selling of products associated with its intangible assets and there are no known restrictions on the continuation of their use. We utilized a Relief-from-Royalty Method, applying royalty rates of 0.5% to 7.0% for the relative trademarks and domain name after reviewing comparable market rates, the profitability of the products associated with relative intangible assets, and other qualitative factors. We determined that risk-adjusted discount rates ranging from 13.2% to 15.8% were appropriate as a result of weighted average cost of capital analyses. As a result of this analysis, it was determined that certain indefinite lived trademarks were impaired, resulting in a total impairment charge of $21,715 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2014. No impairment losses were recorded related to indefinite lived intangible assets during the twelve months ended February 28, 2013. Indicators of impairment existed which required the Company to evaluate the related long lived assets at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. As a result of this further analysis, no additional impairments of the long lived assets were recorded other than the abandonment noted below.
The above impairment charges were the result of various indicators that occurred during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2014. Specifically, certain of our consumer electronic and premium audio product lines experienced significantly lower than expected performance. In addition, indications of near-term shortfalls for certain products within these lines were apparent. Taking these factors into account, along with long-term industry forecasts, the Company had re-evaluated its projections. Further, some of the weighted-average cost of capital rates increased in Fiscal 2014 as a result of higher stock volatility of market participants, as compared to overall market returns. All of these factors led to the Fiscal 2014 impairment charges for goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles.
During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2014, the Company made a business decision to abandon its Technuity business and restructure the marketing and use of the Company's domain name. These decisions resulted in an impairment of the related definite and indefinite lived intangible assets, as well as the long lived assets in accordance with ASC360 "Property, Plant and Equipment" ("ASC 360"). As a result, an impairment charge of $3,683 was recorded related to both definite and indefinite lived tradenames, customer relationships and long lived fixed assets.
The cost of other intangible assets with definite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective lives.  Management has determined that the current lives of these assets are appropriate. Management has determined that there were no other indicators of impairment that would cause the carrying values related to intangible assets with definite lives to exceed their expected future cash flows at February 28, 2014.  Intangible assets with definite lives were not impaired at February 28, 2013.

The weighted-average remaining amortization period for amortizing intangibles as of February 28, 2014 is approximately 13 years. The Company expenses the renewal costs of patents as incurred. The weighted-average period before the next patent renewal is approximately 10 years.
Amortization expense for intangible assets amounted to $5,931, $5,790 and $3,992 for the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, respectively.  The estimated aggregate amortization expense for all amortizable intangibles for each of the succeeding years ending February 28, 2019 is as follows:
Fiscal Year		Amount
2015		$	5,571
2016		5,466
2017		5,452
2018		5,395
2019		5,229
l)Sales Incentives
The Company offers sales incentives to its customers in the form of (1) co-operative advertising allowances; (2) market development funds; (3) volume incentive rebates and (4) other trade allowances.  The Company accounts for sales incentives in accordance with ASC 605-50 "Customer Payments and Incentives" ("ASC 605-50").  Except for other trade allowances, all sales incentives require the customer to purchase the Company's products during a specified period of time. All sales incentives require customers to claim the sales incentive within a certain time period (referred to as the "claim period") and claims are settled either by the customer claiming a deduction against an outstanding account receivable or by the customer requesting a cash payout.  All costs associated with sales incentives are classified as a reduction of net sales. The following is a summary of the various sales incentive programs:
Co-operative advertising allowances are offered to customers as reimbursement towards their costs for print or media advertising in which the Company’s product is featured on its own or in conjunction with other companies' products.  The amount offered is either a fixed amount or is based upon a fixed percentage of sales revenue or a fixed amount per unit sold to the customer during a specified time period.
Market development funds are offered to customers in connection with new product launches or entrance into new markets.  The amount offered for new product launches is based upon a fixed amount, or percentage of sales revenue to the customer or a fixed amount per unit sold to the customer during a specified time period.
Volume incentive rebates offered to customers require minimum quantities of product to be purchased during a specified period of time. The amount offered is either based upon a fixed percentage of sales revenue to the customer or a fixed amount per unit sold to the customer. The Company makes an estimate of the ultimate amount of the rebate their customers will earn based upon past history with the customers and other facts and circumstances. The Company has the ability to estimate these volume incentive rebates, as the period of time for a particular rebate to be claimed is relatively short.  Any changes in the estimated amount of volume incentive rebates are recognized immediately using a cumulative catch-up adjustment. The Company accrues the cost of co-operative advertising allowances, volume incentive rebates and market development funds at the latter of when the customer purchases our products or when the sales incentive is offered to the customer.
Other trade allowances are additional sales incentives that the Company provides to customers subsequent to the related revenue being recognized. The Company records the provision for these additional sales incentives at the later of when the sales incentive is offered or when the related revenue is recognized. Such additional sales incentives are based upon a fixed percentage of the selling price to the customer, a fixed amount per unit, or a lump-sum amount.
The accrual balance for sales incentives at February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 was $17,401 and $16,821, respectively.  Although the Company makes its best estimate of its sales incentive liability, many factors, including significant unanticipated changes in the purchasing volume of its customers and the lack of claims made by customers could have a significant impact on the sales incentives liability and reported operating results.
For the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, reversals of previously established sales incentive liabilities amounted to $1,990, $3,350 and $3,662, respectively. These reversals include unearned and unclaimed sales incentives. Reversals of unearned sales incentives are volume incentive rebates where the customer did not purchase the required minimum quantities of product during the specified time. Volume incentive rebates are reversed into income in the period when the customer did not reach the required minimum purchases of product during the specified time. Unearned sales incentives for the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 amounted to $1,935, $2,933 and $2,200, respectively.  Unclaimed sales incentives are sales incentives earned by the customer but the customer has not claimed payment from the Company within the claim period (period after program has ended). Unclaimed sales incentives for the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 amounted to $55, $417 and $1,462, respectively.
The Company reverses earned but unclaimed sales incentives based upon the expiration of the claim period of each program.  Unclaimed sales incentives that have no specified claim period are reversed in the quarter following one year from the end of the program. The Company believes the reversal of earned but unclaimed sales incentives upon the expiration of the claim period is a systematic, rational, consistent and conservative method of reversing unclaimed sales incentives.
A summary of the activity with respect to accrued sales incentives is provided below:
	Year				Year				Year
	Ended				Ended				Ended
	February 28,				February 28,				February 29,
	2014				2013				2012

Reversals for unclaimed sales incentives	(55		)		(417		)		(1,462		)
Ending balance	$	17,401			$	16,821			$	18,154
The majority of the reversals of previously established sales incentive liabilities pertain to sales recorded in prior periods.
m)Advertising
Excluding co-operative advertising, the Company expensed the cost of advertising, as incurred, of $12,097, $9,499 and $7,786 for the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, respectively.
n)Research and Development
Expenditures for research and development are charged to expense as incurred. Such expenditures amount to $21,267, $15,890 and $441 for the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, respectively, net of customer reimbursement, and are included within engineering and technical support expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
The Company enters into development and long-term supply agreements with certain of its OEM customers. Revenues earned from the development services are recorded based upon the milestone method of revenue recognition provided certain criteria are met. Amounts due from the OEM customers for development services are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense because the performance of contract development services is not central to the Company's operations. For the years ended February 28, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded $6,879 and $3,686, respectively, of development service revenue as a reduction of research and development expense based upon the achievement of a milestone. No development service revenue was recorded for the year ended February 29, 2012.
o)Product Warranties and Product Repair Costs
The Company generally warranties its products against certain manufacturing and other defects. The Company provides warranties for all of its products ranging from 90 days to the lifetime of the product. Warranty expenses are accrued at the time of sale based on the Company's estimated cost to repair expected product returns for warranty matters. This liability is based primarily on historical experiences of actual warranty claims as well as current information on repair costs. The warranty liability of $11,033 and $12,788 is recorded in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, respectively. In addition, the Company records a reserve for product repair costs which is based upon the quantities of defective inventory on hand and an estimate of the cost to repair such defective inventory. The reserve for product repair costs of $1,445 and $1,763 is recorded as a reduction to inventory in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, respectively. Warranty claims and product repair costs expense for the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 were $11,508, $13,798 and $11,839, respectively.
In Fiscal 2013, Subaru of America recalled certain vehicles as a result of potentially faulty remote start devices for which Voxx was the distributor. At February 28, 2014, the Company has recorded a receivable of $1,626 from one of the Company's suppliers, who has agreed to replace 100% of these devices.
Changes in the Company's accrued product warranties and product repair costs are as follows:
	Year				Year				Year

p)Foreign Currency
Assets and liabilities of those subsidiaries and former equity investees located outside the United States whose cash flows are primarily in local currencies have been translated at rates of exchange at the end of the period or historical exchange rates, as appropriate in accordance with ASC 830, "Foreign Currency Matters" ("ASC 830"). Revenues and expenses have been translated at the weighted-average rates of exchange in effect during the period.  Gains and losses resulting from translation are recorded in the cumulative foreign currency translation account in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). For the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, the Company recorded foreign currency transaction (losses)/gains in the amount of $(1,079), $445 and $1,748, respectively.
The Company has certain operations in Venezuela. Venezuela is currently experiencing significant political and civil unrest and economic instability, and has been troubled with various foreign currency and price controls. The country has experienced high rates of inflation over the last several years. The President of Venezuela has the authority to legislate certain areas by decree, which allows the government to nationalize certain industries or expropriate certain companies and property. These factors may have a negative impact on our business and our financial condition. In 2003, Venezuela created the Commission of Administration of Foreign Currency ("CADIVI") which establishes and administers currency controls and their associated rules and regulations. These controls include creating a fixed exchange rate between the Bolivar and the U.S. Dollar, and the ability to restrict the exchange of Bolivar Fuertes for U.S. Dollars and vice versa.
Effective January 1, 2010, according to the guidelines in ASC 830, Venezuela was designated as a hyper-inflationary economy.  A hyper-inflationary economy designation occurs when a country has experienced cumulative inflation of approximately 100 percent or more over a 3 year period.  The hyper-inflationary designation requires the local subsidiary in Venezuela to record all transactions as if they were denominated in U.S. dollars.  The Company transitioned to hyper-inflationary accounting on March 1, 2010 and continues to account for its Venezuela operations under this method.
In February 2013, the Venezuelan government announced the devaluation of the Bolivar Fuerte, moving the official exchange rate from 4.30 to 6.30 per U.S. dollar. The devaluation resulted in a one time net gain of approximately $2,400, a portion of which was related to the concurrent elimination of the country's regulated foreign currency exchange system, SITME, and recognized by the Company during the year ended February 28, 2013 within cost of sales and other income (expenses) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). When the government devalued the Venezuelan Bolivar Fuerte in February, 2013, it established a new auction-based exchange rate market program, referred to as Complementary System for the Administration of Foreign Currency (“SICAD”). The amount of transactions that have run through the SICAD and restrictions around participation have limited our access to any foreign exchange rate other than the official rate to pay for imported goods and manage our local monetary asset balances. In late January 2014, the Venezuelan government made several announcements affecting currency exchange and other controls. Although the official exchange rate remains at 6.3, the government announced that the exchange rate for goods and services deemed non-essential will move to the rate available on SICAD currency market, which was 11.7 at February 28, 2014. This devaluation resulted in a one time net currency exchange gain of approximately $200 related primarily to intercompany payables and the investment in Venezuelan government bonds and recognized by the Company during the year ended February 28, 2014 and included in Other Income (expense) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). There is considerable uncertainty as to the nature of transactions that will flow through SICAD and how SICAD will operate in the future, however we believe there is considerable risk that the official rate will be devalued further. Further devaluation could have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.
The Company has certain U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities in its Venezuelan operations. Our TICC bond investment (See Note 1(f)) and our U.S. dollar denominated intercompany debt have been subject to currency fluctuations associated with the devaluation of the Bolivar Fuerte and the temporary institution in 2010 of a two-tier exchange rate by the Venezuelan government. The TICC bond is valued at the current Venezuela exchange rate of 11.7 and classified as a held-to-maturity investment at amortized cost at February 28, 2014.
q)Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, we consider all positive and negative evidence including the results of recent operations, scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, future taxable income and tax planning strategies. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled (see Note 7). The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company adopted guidance included in ASC 740 "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740") as it relates to uncertain tax positions.  The guidance addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.  Under ASC 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements.
Tax interest and penalties
The Company classifies interest and penalties associated with income taxes as a component of income tax expense (benefit) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
r)Net Income Per Common Share
Basic net income per common share is based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
There are no reconciling items which impact the numerator of basic and diluted net income per common share.  A reconciliation between the denominator of basic and diluted net income per common share is as follows:
	Year			Year			Year
	Ended			Ended			Ended
	February 28, 2014			February 28, 2013			February 29, 2012
Weighted-average number of common  shares outstanding (basic)	24,109,270			23,415,570			23,080,081
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock options, warrants and restricted stock	—			201,531			185,125
Weighted-average number of common and potential common shares outstanding (diluted)	24,109,270			23,617,101			23,265,206
Stock options and stock warrants totaling 137,899, 90,735 and 361,464 for the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, respectively, were not included in the net income per common share calculation because the exercise price of these options and warrants was greater than the average market price of the Company's common stock during the period.
s)Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) is comprised of the following:
	Year				Year				Year
	Ended				Ended				Ended
	February 28, 2014				February 28, 2013				February 29, 2012
Other-than-temporary impairment of investment in Bliss-tel marketable securities	$	—			$	—			$	(1,225	)
(Loss) gain on foreign currency contracts related to Hirschmann acquisition	—				(2,670		)		1,581
Net settlement gains (losses) (see Note 14)	4,443				(1,661		)		(3,621		)
Foreign currency (loss) gain	(1,079		)		445				1,748
Interest income	689				685				744
Rental income	1,519				1,120				531
Miscellaneous	6,472				(552		)		(3,145		)
Total other, net	$	12,044			$	(2,633	)		$	(3,387	)
Miscellaneous for the year ended February 28, 2014 includes income of $4,370 related to a shortfall on a contract between Hirschmann and a customer resulting in missed projections and a payment to Hirschmann for the remaining balance under the contract. Miscellaneous for the year ended February 29, 2012 includes charges related to a contingent consideration adjustment of approximately $2,000. Net foreign currency loss for the year ended February 28, 2014 includes a net gain of $177 related to the January 2014 devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar Fuerte by the Venezuelan government for certain foreign investments and non-essential items, which affected the balance sheet of Venezuela, as compared to a net loss of $447 related to the February 2013 devaluation included in the net foreign currency gain for the year ended February 28, 2013.
t)Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of
Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360 whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Recoverability of assets held for sale is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to their estimated fair market value. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Refer to Note 1(k) for the discussion of the ASC360 impairment analysis and results for the year ended February 28, 2014.
u)Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has a stock-based compensation plan under which employees and non-employee directors may be granted incentive stock options ("ISO's") and non-qualified stock options ("NQSO's") to purchase shares of Class A common stock. Under the plan, the exercise price of the ISO's will not be less than the market value of the Company's Class A common stock or greater than 110% of the market value of the Company's Class A common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of the NQSO's may not be less than 50% of the market value of the Company's Class A common stock on the date of grant. The plan permits for options to be exercised at various intervals as determined by the Board of Directors. However, the maximum expiration period is ten years from date of grant. The vesting requirements are determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant.  Exercised options are issued from authorized Class A common stock.  As of February 28, 2014, approximately 1,700,000 shares were available for future grants under the terms of these plans.
Options are measured at the fair value of the award at the date of grant and are recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. Compensation expense related to stock-based awards with vesting terms are amortized using the straight-line attribution method.
The Company granted 256,250 options during December of 2012, which vested on July 1, 2013, expire two years from date of vesting (June 30, 2015), have an exercise price equal to $6.79, $0.25 above the sales price of the Company's stock on the day prior to the date of grant, have a contractual term of 2.5 years and a grant date fair value of $1.99 per share, determined on a Black-Scholes valuation model (refer to the tables below for assumptions used to determine fair value).
In addition, the Company issued 17,500 warrants during December of 2012 to purchase the Company's common stock with the same terms as those of the options above as consideration for future legal and professional services. These warrants have all been exercised as of February 28, 2014.
The Company granted 246,250 options during May of 2011, which vested on February 29, 2012, expire two years from date of vesting (February 28, 2014), have an exercise price equal to $7.75, $0.25 above the sales price of the Company's stock on the day prior to the date of grant, have a contractual term of 2.75 years and a grant date fair value of $3.08 per share determined based on a Black-Scholes valuation model. (Refer to the table below for assumptions used to determine fair value.) None of these options expired unexercised at February 29, 2012.
In addition, the Company issued 22,500 warrants during May of 2011 to purchase the Company's common stock with the same terms as those of the options above as consideration for future legal and professional services. These warrants were exercised prior to February 28, 2014 and none expired unexercised.
The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during the years ended  February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 were $1.99 and $3.08 on the respective dates of grant. There were no stock options granted during the year ended February 28, 2014.
The fair value of stock options and warrants on the date of grant, and the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the stock options and warrants using the Black-Scholes option valuation model granted during the year was as follows:
		Year			Year
		Ended			Ended
		February 28,			29-Feb-12
		2013
Dividend yield		0	%		0	%
Volatility		51.3	%		65.4	%
Risk-free interest rate		0.32	%		0.94	%
Expected life (years)		2.5			2.8
The expected dividend yield is based on historical and projected dividend yields.  The Company estimates expected volatility based primarily on historical price changes of the Company’s stock equal to the expected life of the option. The Company uses monthly stock prices as the Company’s stock experiences low-volume trading. We believe that daily fluctuations are distortive to the volatility and as such will continue to use monthly inputs in the future. The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant. The expected option term is the number of years the Company estimates the options will be outstanding prior to exercise based on employment termination behavior.
The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense (before deferred income tax benefits) for awards granted under the Company’s stock option plans in the following line items in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss):
	Year				Year				Year
	Ended				Ended				Ended
	February 28, 2014				February 28, 2013				February 29, 2012
Cost of sales	$	10			$	5			$	23
Selling expense	50				25				116
General and administrative expenses	300				149				681
Engineering and technical support	3				3				8
Stock-based compensation expense before income tax benefits	$	363			$	182			$	828
Net income was impacted by $228 (after tax), $113 (after tax) and $505 (after tax) in stock based compensation expense or $0.01, $0.00 and $0.02 per diluted share for the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, respectively.

At February 28, 2014, the Company had no unrecognized compensation costs as all stock options were fully vested. At February 28, 2013, the Company had unrecognized compensation costs of $363.
Summarized information about stock options outstanding as of February 28, 2014 is as follows:
		Outstanding and Exercisable
Exercise Price Range		Number			Weighted-				Weighted-

The aggregate pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s average closing stock price for the last quarter of Fiscal 2014 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on February 28, 2014 was $1,271.  This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock.  The total intrinsic values of options exercised for the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 were $4,671, $1,845 and $387, respectively
A restricted stock award is an award of common stock that is subject to certain restrictions during a specified period. Restricted stock awards are independent of option grants and are subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the release of the restrictions. Shares under restricted stock grants are not issued to the grantees before they vest. The grantees cannot transfer the rights to receive shares before the restricted shares vest.
In May of 2011, the Company granted 100,000 shares of restricted stock. These restricted stock awards vested one-third on February 29, 2012, one-third on February 28, 2013 and one-third on February 28, 2014. The Company expensed the cost of the restricted stock awards on a straight-line basis over the period during which the restrictions lapsed. The fair market value of the restricted stock of $7.60 was determined based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date.
On January 30, 2014, the Company granted 84,588 shares of restricted stock in accordance with a newly established Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP") (refer to Note 10(b)). The restricted stock was granted based on certain performance criteria and vest on the later of three years from the date of participation in the SERP, or the grantee reaching the age of 65 years. There are no market conditions inherent in the award, only an employee performance requirement, and the service requirement that the respective employee continues employment with the Company through the vesting date. The Company will expense the cost of the restricted stock awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each employee or a maximum of 12.75 years. The fair market value of the restricted stock of $13.62 was determined based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date.
The following table presents a summary of the Company's restricted stock activity for the year ended February 28, 2014:
	Number of shares (in thousands)			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value

w)New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," which requires an entity to report, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented, or in the notes, the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. This disclosure only guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012 and was adopted by the Company for the first quarter of Fiscal 2014.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10, "Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes." ASU 2013-10 allows the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (OIS) to be designated as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815, in addition to interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government and the London Interbank Offered Rate. The amendments also remove the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The amendments are effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013 and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." The amendments in ASU 2013-11 provide guidance on the financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company will reflect the impact of these amendments beginning in the first quarter of Fiscal 2015. The Company does not anticipate a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows as a result of this change.

	Business Acquisitions
	Hirschmann
	On March 14, 2012 (the "Closing Date"), Voxx, through its wholly-owned subsidiary VOXX International (Germany) GmbH ("Voxx Germany"), purchased the stock of Car Communication Holding GmbH, a recognized tier-1 supplier of communications and infotainment solutions, primarily to the automotive industry, pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement for €87,571 ($114,397 based upon the rate of exchange as of the close of business on the Closing Date) subject to an adjustment for working capital plus related transaction fees and expenses. The acquisition of Hirschmann further diversifies Voxx's offerings and creates strategic opportunities for the Company to leverage Hirschmann's advanced technologies. The Company believes this will lead to more advanced and creative mobile electronics products and continued growth with car manufacturers worldwide.
	On the Closing Date, the Company, certain of its directly and indirectly wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, and Voxx Germany (collectively, the "Borrowers") entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Facility") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), as Agent, and the other lenders party thereto. The Company borrowed approximately $148,000 under the Credit Facility on the Closing Date and used a portion of the proceeds from such borrowing to fund Voxx Germany's acquisition of Hirschmann. On the Closing Date, the Company also repaid and terminated its existing asset-based loan facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC.
	In order to hedge the fluctuation in the exchange rate before closing, the Company entered into two forward contracts totaling $63,750, both due in March 2012. The forward contracts were not designated for hedging, and as such, were marked to market at February 29, 2012 and when they were settled in the first quarter of Fiscal 2013. A foreign currency gain of $1,581 was recorded in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2012 when the contracts were marked to market at year-end and a foreign currency loss of $2,670 was recorded during the three months ended May 31, 2013, when the contracts were settled, reflecting the loss on settlement.
	Net sales attributable to Hirschmann in the Company's consolidated statements of operations for the years ended February 28, 2014 and 2013 were approximately $173,612 and $153,310, respectively.
	The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as of the Closing Date, and the amounts assigned to goodwill and intangible asset classifications:

	During the measurement period, the Company recorded $10,701 of net deferred tax liabilities related to the basis difference between the financial reporting value and the tax value, and the adjustments to the intangible assets value in connection with our preliminary purchase price valuation.
	The amounts assigned to goodwill and intangible assets for the acquisition are as follows:
		March 14, 2012 (as initially reported)			Measurement Period Adjustments				March 14, 2012 (as adjusted)			Amortization Period (Years)

	Acquisition related costs relating to this acquisition of $1,131 and $1,526 were expensed as incurred during the latter half of the year ended February 29, 2012 and during the year ended February 28, 2013, respectively, and are included in acquisition-related costs for these respective periods in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

	On March 1, 2011, Soundtech LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Voxx, acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Klipsch Group, Inc. and its worldwide subsidiaries for a total purchase price of $169,599. The acquisition of Klipsch added world-class brand names to Voxx's offerings, increased its distribution network, both domestically and abroad, and provided the Company with entry into the high-end installation market at both the residential and commercial level. In addition to the Klipsch® brand, the Klipsch portfolio includes Jamo®, Mirage®, and Energy®.
	The results of operations of this acquisition have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Net sales attributable to Klipsch in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 were $167,532, $174,026 and $169,485, respectively.
	During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2013, the Company identified an error in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 29, 2012, related to the Klipsch purchase price. Accounts payable acquired in the acquisition was incorrectly overstated and income taxes payable acquired was understated, which also resulted in an overstatement of goodwill from the purchase price. We evaluated the materiality of the error from a qualitative and quantitative perspective. Based on such evaluation, we concluded that the correction was not material to any individual prior period or for the year ended February 28, 2013, taking into account the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, "Considering The Effects of Prior Year Misstatements in the Current Year Financial Statements," or SAB 108. As discussed in SAB108, though the error correction does require restating consolidated financial statements for prior periods, the error correction does not require the amendment of prior period filings. As a result, the accounting correction reduced accounts payable by $1,729 and goodwill by $1,297 and increased income taxes payable by $432 on the consolidated balance sheet at February 28, 2013.
	The following table summarizes the final allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition and adjusted for the error identified in Fiscal 2013:
		1-Mar-11
	Accounts receivable	$	28,614
	Inventory	30,167
	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	846
	Property, plant and equipment, net	6,347
	Goodwill	78,696
	Intangible assets	82,563
	Deferred tax assets	3,086
	Total assets acquired	230,319
	Accounts payable	14,067
	Accrued expenses and other liabilities	13,096
	Deferred tax liabilities	33,557
	Net assets acquired	$	169,599
	During the measurement period, the Company recorded approximately $30,500 of net deferred tax liabilities related to the basis difference between the financial reporting value and the tax value, and the adjustments to the intangible asset values in connection with our preliminary purchase price valuation. In addition, the original purchase price allocation was adjusted by approximately $2,200 during the quarter ended August 31, 2011 to account for contingent purchase price consideration. As a result of these changes, goodwill associated with this transaction was adjusted accordingly.
	The amounts assigned to goodwill and intangible assets for the acquisition are as follows and adjusted for the error identified in Fiscal 2013:
		1-Mar-11			Amortization Period (Years)
	Goodwill (non-deductible)	$	78,696		N/A
	Tradenames (non-deductible)	49,316			Indefinite
	Customer relationships	32,000			15
	Patents	1,247			13
		$	161,259
	Acquisition related costs of $374 were expensed as incurred in the year ended February 29, 2012, and are included in acquisition related costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
	Pro-forma Financial Information
	The following unaudited pro-forma financial information for the years ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 represents the results of the Company's operations as if Hirschmann was included for the full year of Fiscal 2013 and 2012.

	Equity Investment
	The Company has a 50% non-controlling ownership interest in ASA Electronics, LLC and Subsidiary ("ASA") which acts as a distributor of mobile electronics specifically designed for niche markets within the Automotive industry, including RV’s; buses; and commercial, heavy duty, agricultural, construction, powersport, and marine vehicles. ASC 810 requires the Company to evaluate non-consolidated entities periodically, and as circumstances change, to determine if an implied controlling interest exists. During Fiscal 2014, the Company evaluated this equity investment and concluded that this is still a variable interest entity and the Company is not the primary beneficiary.  ASA’s fiscal year end is November 30, 2013, however, the results of ASA as of and through February 28, 2014 have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
	The Company's share of income from ASA for the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 was $6,070, $4,880 and $4,035, respectively.   In addition, the Company received cash distributions from ASA totaling $2,960, $2,256 and $1,906 during the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, respectively.

	a)Domestic Bank Obligations
	From March 1, 2013 through January 8, 2014, we had a revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). Funds from the Credit Facility were used to complete the acquisition of Hirschmann in March 2012, as well as to fund the temporary short-term working capital needs of the Company. The Credit Facility had an aggregated committed availability of up to $205,000, consisting of a revolving credit facility of $80,000; a $50,000 multicurrency revolving facility, of which up to the equivalent of $50,000 was available only to VOXX International (Germany) GmbH in euros; and a five year term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $75,000. $110,000 of the U. S. revolving credit facility was available on a revolving basis for five years from the closing date. An additional $20,000 was available during the periods from September 1, 2012 through January 31, 2013 and from September 1, 2013 through November 30, 2013. The Credit Facility included a $25,000 sublimit for issuers of letters of credit for domestic borrowings and a $10,000 sublimit for Swing Loans.
	The Credit Facility contained covenants that limited the ability of certain entities of the Company to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) incur liens; (iii) merge, consolidate or exit a substantial portion of their respective businesses; (iv) make any material change in the nature of their business; (v) prepay or otherwise acquire indebtedness; (vi) cause any Change of Control; (vii) make any Restricted Payments; (viii) change their fiscal year or method of accounting; (ix) make advances, loans or investments; (x) enter into or permit any transaction with an Affiliate of certain entities of the Company; or (xi) use proceeds for certain items.
	On January 9, 2014, the Company amended and restated its Credit Facility (the "Amended Facility"). The Amended Facility provides for senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate amount of $200,000, consisting of a revolving credit facility of $200,000, with a $30,000 multicurrency revolving credit facility sublimit, a $25,000 sublimit for Letters of Credit and a $10,000 sublimit for Swingline Loans. The Amended Facility is due on January 9, 2019, however, it is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
	Generally, the Company may designate specific borrowings under the Amended Facility as either Alternate Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, except that Swingline Loans may only be designated as Alternate Base Rate Loans. VOXX International (Germany) GmbH may only borrow euros, and only as LIBOR rate loans. Loans designated as LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the then applicable LIBOR rate plus a range of 1.00 - 2.00% based upon leverage, as defined in the agreement. Loans designated as Alternate Base Rate loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.00 - 1.00% based on excess availability in the borrowing base. As of February 28, 2014, the interest rate on the facility was 2.28%.
	The Amended Facility requires compliance with financial covenants calculated as of the last day of each fiscal quarter consisting of a Total Leverage Ratio and a Consolidated EBIT to Consolidated Interest Expense Ratio.
	The Amended Facility contains covenants that limit the ability of certain entities of the Company to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) incur liens; (iii) merge, consolidate or exit a substantial portion of their respective businesses; (iv) make any material change in the nature of their business; (v) prepay or otherwise acquire indebtedness; (vi) cause any Change of Control; (vii) make any Restricted Payments; (viii) change their fiscal year or method of accounting; (ix) make advances, loans or investments; (x) enter into or permit any transaction with an Affiliate of certain entities of the Company; or (xi) use proceeds for certain items. As of February 28, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
	The Obligations under the Amended Facility are secured by valid and perfected first priority security interests in liens on all of the following: (a)(i) 100% of the capital stock or other membership or partnership equity ownership of profit interests of each domestic Credit Party (other than the Company), and (ii) 65% of the voting equity interests and 100% of the non-voting equity interests of all present and future first-tier foreign subsidiaries of any Credit Party (or such greater percentage as would not result in material adverse federal income tax consequences for the Company); (b) all of (i) the tangible and intangible personal property/assets of the Credit Parties and (ii) the fee-owned real property of the Company located in Hauppauge, New York; and (c) all products, profits, rents and proceeds of the foregoing.
	No additional funds were borrowed on January 9, 2014, in conjunction with the amendment to the credit facility. As of February 28, 2014, approximately $87,950 was outstanding under the line. Charges incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility and Amended Credit Facility during the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 totaled $151, $94 and $596, respectively, and are included within interest and bank charges on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
	As a result of the amendment to the Credit Facility, the Company incurred additional debt financing costs of $1,455, which are recorded as deferred financing costs. The Company has accounted for the amendment as a modification of debt and has added these costs to the remaining financing costs related to the original Credit Facility and its amended predecessor of approximately $6,700. These deferred financing costs have been included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized through interest and bank charges over the five year term of the Amended Facility. During the years ended February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, the Company amortized $1,377 and $1,210 of these costs, respectively.
	b)Euro Asset-Based Lending Obligation
	Foreign bank obligations include a financing arrangement entered into in October 2000, totaling 20,000 Euros and consisting of a Euro accounts receivable factoring arrangement (see Note 1(h)) and a Euro Asset-Based Lending ("ABL") (up to 60% of eligible non-factored accounts receivable) credit facility for the Company's subsidiary, Audiovox Germany, which expires on November 1, 2014.  The rate of interest is the three month Euribor plus 1.9% (2.19% at February 28, 2014), and the Company pays 0.22% of its gross sales as a fee for the accounts receivable factoring arrangement. As of February 28, 2014, the amount of non-factored accounts receivable exceeded the amounts outstanding under this obligation.
	c)Euro Loan Agreement
	On March 30, 2008, Audiovox Germany entered into a 5,000 Euro term loan agreement. This agreement was for a five year term with a financial institution and was used to repay the Audiovox Germany intercompany debt to VOXX International Corporation. Interest accrued at a fixed rate of 4.82%. The loan ended on March 31, 2013 and has been fully paid.
	d)Schwaiger Mortgage
	In January 2012, the Company's Schwaiger subsidiary purchased a building, entering into a mortgage note payable. The mortgage note bears interest at 3.75% and will be fully paid by December 2019.
	e)Klipsch Notes
	Included in this balance is a mortgage on a facility included in the assets acquired in connection with the Klipsch transaction on March 1, 2011 and assumed by Voxx. The balance at February 28, 2014 is $575 and will be fully paid by the end of Fiscal 2018.
	On April 20, 2012, the Company purchased the building housing Klipsch's headquarters in Indianapolis, IN for $10,900. The Company paid $3,100 cash at closing and assumed the mortgage held by the seller, Woodview LLC, in the amount of $7,800. Woodview LLC was a related party, as certain partners are executives of Klipsch.  On June 3, 2013, the Company refinanced this mortgage with Wells Fargo for an amount totaling $7,800. The new mortgage is due in May 2023 and the interest rate is equal to the 1-month LIBOR plus 2.25%. Simultaneously on June 3, 2013, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement in order to hedge interest rate exposure and will pay a fixed rate of 3.92% under the swap agreement. The balance of the mortgage at February 28, 2014 was $7,280.
	f)Audiovox Germany Mortgage
	Included in this balance is a mortgage on the land and building housing Audiovox Germany's headquarters in Pulheim, Germany, which was entered into in January 2013. The mortgage bears interest at 2.85%, payable in twenty-six quarterly installments through June 2019.
	g)Hirschmann Line of Credit
	On July 15, 2012, Hirschmann entered into an agreement for a €6,000 working capital line of credit with a financial institution. The agreement is payable on demand and is mutually cancelable. The rate of interest is the three month Euribor plus 2% (2.29% at February 28, 2014) and the line of credit is guaranteed by VOXX International Corporation. There was no outstanding balance on the line of credit as of February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013.
	The following is a maturity table for debt and bank obligations outstanding at February 28, 2014:
	2015	$	5,960
	2016	1,399
	2017	1,399
	2018	4,559
	2019	92,509
	Thereafter	3,356
	Total	$	109,182
	The weighted-average interest rate on short-term debt was 3.85% and 4.52% for Fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. Interest expense for the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 was $5,210, $6,302 and $3,520, respectively, of which $3,052 was related to the Credit Facility and Amended Credit Facility for the year ended February 28, 2014.

	Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
		February 28,			February 28,
		2014			2013

Total deferred tax liabilities	(44,591		)	(52,933		)
Net deferred tax liability	$	(31,154	)	$	(39,836	)
The Company recorded net deferred tax liabilities of $10,701 in connection with the Hirschmann acquisition for the year ended February 28, 2013.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, Management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in those periods in which temporary differences become deductible and/or net operating loss carryforwards can be utilized. We consider the level of historical taxable income, scheduled reversal of temporary differences, tax planning strategies and projected future taxable income in determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted.
During Fiscal 2014, the Company increased its valuation allowance by approximately $66. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions and with respect to its foreign tax credits and various investments which are more likely than not to generate capital losses in the future. Any decline in the valuation allowance could have a favorable impact on our income tax provision and net income in the period in which such determination is made.
As of February 28, 2014, the Company has not provided for U.S. federal and foreign withholding taxes of approximately $14,908 on its foreign subsidiaries, cumulative undistributed earnings in Germany as such earnings are indefinitely reinvested overseas. If these future earnings are repatriated to the United States, or if the Company determines that such earnings will be remitted in the foreseeable future, additional tax provisions may be required. Due to the complexities of the tax laws and the assumptions that would have to be made, it is not practicable to estimate the amounts of income tax provisions that may be required. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to investments in undistributed earnings is not practicable to determine at this time.
The Company has various foreign net operating loss carryforwards, state net operating loss carryforwards, and state tax credits that expire in various years and amounts through 2034.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, is as follows:

	Other Long-Term Liabilities
	On August 29, 2003, the Company entered into a call/put option agreement with certain employees of Audiovox Germany, whereby these employees can acquire up to a maximum of 20% of the Company's stated share capital in Audiovox Germany at a call price equal to the same proportion of the actual price paid by the Company for Audiovox Germany. The put options become immediately exercisable upon (i) the sale of Audiovox Germany or (ii) the termination of employment or death of the employee. The put price to be paid to the employee upon exercise will be the then net asset value per share of Audiovox Germany. Accordingly, the Company recognizes compensation expense based on 20% of the increase in Audiovox Germany's net assets, subject to certain adjustments as defined in the agreement, representing the incremental change of the put price over the call option price. The balance of the call/put option included in other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 was $5,156 and $4,322, respectively. Compensation expense for these options amounted to $580, $534 and $127 for the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, respectively.
	Also included in other long-term liabilities are the non-current portions of contingent considerations related to certain acquisitions of the Company and the non-current portion of a pension liability for Hirschmann employees (see Note 10).

	Other Stock and Retirement Plans
	a)Restricted Stock Plan
	The Company has restricted stock plans under which key employees and directors may be awarded restricted stock. Awards under the restricted stock plan may be performance-accelerated shares or performance-restricted shares. (See Note 1(u)).
	As of February 28, 2014, approximately 1,700,000 shares of the Company's Class A common stock are reserved for issuance under the Company's Restricted and Stock Option Plan.
	b)Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
	Effective January 30, 2014, the Company established a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP") to provide additional retirement income to its Chairman and select executive officers. Subject to certain performance criteria, service requirements and age restrictions, employees who participate in the SERP will receive restricted stock awards. The restricted stock awards vest on the later of three years from the date of participation in the SERP, or the grantee reaching the age of 65 years (refer to Note 1(u)).
	c)Profit Sharing Plans
	The Company has established two non-contributory employee profit sharing plans for the benefit of its eligible employees in the United States and Canada. The plans are administered by trustees appointed by the Company. No contributions were made during the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012. Contributions required by law to be made for eligible employees in Canada were not material for all periods presented.
	d)401(k) Plans
	-1	The VOXX International 401(k) plan is for all eligible domestic employees, with the exception of Klipsch employees, who continued to participate in a separate 401(k) plan for the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012. The Company matches a portion of the participant's contributions after three months of service under a predetermined formula based on the participant's contribution level. In February 2008, the Company suspended all matching contributions to contain operating expenses until economic conditions improved. These matching contributions were reinstated on January 1, 2014. Shares of the Company's Common Stock are not an investment option in the Savings Plan and the Company does not use such shares to match participants' contributions. During the year ended February 28, 2014, the Company contributed, net of forfeitures, approximately $215 to the 401(k) Plan.
	-2	Klipsch sponsors a 401(k) plan for the subsidiary's eligible employees. Any Klipsch employee is eligible to participate. Klipsch contributes a matching amount to participants who are at least 21 years of age and have attained six months of service as of entry dates of January 1 or July 1. During the year ended February 28, 2014, the Company contributed, net of forfeitures, approximately $153 to the 401(k) Plan.
	e)Cash Bonus Profit Sharing Plan
	During Fiscal 2009, the Board of Directors authorized a Cash Bonus Profit Sharing Plan that allows the Company to make profit sharing contributions for the benefit of eligible employees, for any fiscal year based on a pre-determined formula on the Company's pre-tax profits. The size of the contribution is dependent upon the performance of the Company. A participant’s share of the contribution is determined pursuant to the participant’s eligible wages for the fiscal year as a percentage of total eligible wages for all participants. During the year ended February 28, 2011, this plan was temporarily suspended and the Company elected to pay back previous temporary salary reductions to all employees, in lieu of contributions to the Profit Sharing Plan. The plan has remained suspended for the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 and will be reinstated only after all other suspended benefits of the Company have been restored.
	f)Deferred Compensation Plan
	Effective December 1, 1999, the Company adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) for Vice Presidents and above. The Plan is intended to provide certain executives with supplemental retirement benefits as well as to permit the deferral of more of their compensation than they are permitted to defer under the Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan. The Plan provides for a matching contribution equal to 25% of the employee deferrals up to $20. On February 1, 2008, the Company temporarily suspended all matching contributions to contain operating expenses until economic conditions improve. The matching contributions have remained suspended for the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012. The Plan is not intended to be a qualified plan under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. All compensation deferred under the Plan is held by the Company in an investment trust which is considered an asset of the Company.  The Company has the option of amending or terminating the Plan at any time.
	The investments, which amounted to $4,244 and $3,657 at February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, respectively, have been classified as long-term marketable securities and are included in investment securities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and a corresponding liability is recorded with $250 recorded in accrued expenses and the balance in deferred compensation which is classified as a long-term liability. Unrealized gains and losses on the marketable securities and corresponding deferred compensation liability net to zero in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
	g)Defined Benefit Pension Plan
	The Company sponsors an employer financed defined benefit pension plan ("the plan") at its Hirschmann subsidiary, which covers eligible regular full-time employees. The plan provides for retirement and disability benefits for participating employees, and are only granted if the participating employee is at least 25 years of age and has completed ten years of service. The retirement age as it pertains to the plan is 65. Benefits available under the plan are generally determined by years of service and the levels of compensation during those years. In October 1994, the benefits under this plan were closed to new participants and pension benefits continue to accrue only for previously existing plan members still employed by Hirschmann. The discount rate used for the valuation of the pension obligation at February 28, 2014 and 2013 was 3.3% and 3.7%, respectively. No contributions were made to the plan during the years ended February 28, 2014 and 2013 and the plan has no assets. The unfunded balance of the plan at February 28, 2014 and 2013 is equal to the total plan liability of $7,846 and $6,911, respectively.
	Following is the reconciliation of the pension benefit obligation for the year ended February 28, 2014.

		Lease Obligations
	During 1996, the Company entered into a 30-year capital lease for a building with its principal stockholder and current chairman, which was the headquarters of the discontinued Cellular operation. Payments on the capital lease were based upon the construction costs of the building and the then-current interest rates. The effective interest rate on the capital lease obligation is 8%.  This lease was refinanced in December 2006 and expires on November 30, 2026.  The Company currently subleases the building to Airtyme Communications LLC for monthly payments of $60 for a term of three years, terminating on October 15, 2015. Total rental income earned from the sublease of this building for the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 was $634, $573 and $531, respectively. We also lease another facility from our principal stockholder which expires on November 30, 2016.

	Financial Instruments
	a)Off-Balance Sheet Risk
	Commercial letters of credit are issued by the Company during the ordinary course of business through major domestic banks as requested by certain suppliers. The Company also issues standby letters of credit principally to secure certain bank obligations and insurance policies. The Company had $0 and $273 open commercial letters of credit at February 28, 2014 and 2013. Standby letters of credit amounted to $717and $817 at February 28, 2014 and 2013.  The terms of these letters of credit are all less than one year. No material loss is anticipated due to nonperformance by the counter parties to these agreements. The fair value of the standby letters of credit is estimated to be the same as the contract values based on the short-term nature of the fee arrangements with the issuing banks.
	At February 28, 2014, the Company had unconditional purchase obligations for inventory commitments of $93,801.  These obligations are not recorded in the consolidated financial statements until commitments are fulfilled and such obligations are subject to change based on negotiations with manufacturers.
	b)Concentrations of Credit Risk
	Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade receivables. The Company's customers are located principally in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia Pacific and consist of, among others, distributors, mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs and independent retailers.  The Company generally grants credit based upon analyses of customers' financial condition and previously established buying and payment patterns. For certain customers, the Company establishes collateral rights in accounts receivable and inventory and obtains personal guarantees from certain customers based upon management's credit evaluation. Certain customers in Europe and Latin America have credit insurance equaling their credit limit.
	At February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, one customer accounted for approximately 18% and 32% of accounts receivable, respectively.  During the year ended February 29, 2012 one customer accounted for 10.3% of net sales. No one customer account for more than 10% of net sales during the years ended February 28, 2014 or 2013. The Company's five largest customers represented 29% of net sales during the year ended February 28, 2014, 28% for the year ended February 28, 2013 and 26% for the year ended February 29, 2012.
	A portion of the Company's customer base may be susceptible to downturns in the retail economy, particularly in the consumer electronics industry. Additionally, customers specializing in certain automotive sound, security and accessory products may be impacted by fluctuations in automotive sales.

	Financial and Product Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations
	Segment
	In connection with recent acquisitions, effective December 1, 2012, we reorganized our financial reporting into three distinct operating segments based upon our products and our internal organizational structure. The three operating segments, which are also the Company's reportable segments, are Automotive, Premium Audio and Consumer Accessories.
	Our Automotive segment designs, manufactures, distributes and markets rear-seat entertainment devices, satellite radio products, automotive security, remote start systems, digital TV tuners, mobile antennas, mobile multimedia devices, aftermarket/OE-styled radios, car link-smartphone telematics application, collision avoidance systems and location-based services.
	Our Premium Audio segment designs, manufactures, distributes and markets home theater systems, high-end loudspeakers, outdoor speakers, iPod/computer speakers, business music systems, cinema speakers, flat panel speakers, bluetooth speakers, soundbars, headphones and DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance).
	Our Consumer Accessories segment designs and markets remote controls; rechargeable battery packs; wireless and bluetooth speakers; personal sound amplifiers and iPod docks/iPod sound, A/V connectivity, portable/home charging, reception and digital consumer products.
	Each operating segment is individually reviewed and evaluated by our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), who allocates resources and assesses performance of each segment individually. Prior to December 1, 2012 our CODM reviewed financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance.
	The Company's Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the CODM. The CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources based upon a number of factors, the primary profit measure being income before income taxes of each segment. Certain costs and royalty income are not allocated to the segments and are reported as Corporate/Eliminations. Costs not allocated to the segments include professional fees, public relations costs, acquisition cost and costs associated with executive and corporate management departments including salaries, benefits, depreciation, rent and insurance.
	The segments share many common resources, infrastructures and assets in the normal course of business. Thus, the Company does not report assets or capital expenditures by segment to the CODM.
	The accounting principles applied at the consolidated financial statement level are generally the same as those applied at the operating segment level and there are no material intersegment sales. The segments are allocated interest expense, based upon a pre-determined formula, which utilizes a percentage of each operating segment's intercompany balance, which is offset in corporate/eliminations.
	Prior period disclosure of net sales by product category has been reclassified to conform to the new operating segment structure which had no impact on our consolidated financial statements. Segment data for each of the Company's segments are presented below:

	Contingencies
	The Company is currently, and has in the past been a party to various routine legal proceedings incident to the ordinary course of business.  If management determines, based on the underlying facts and circumstances, that it is probable a loss will result from a litigation contingency and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss is accrued for.  The Company believes its outstanding litigation matters disclosed below will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements, individually or in the aggregate; however, due to the uncertain outcome of these matters, the Company disclosed specific matters as outlined below:
	The products the Company sells are continually changing as a result of improved technology.  As a result, although the Company and its suppliers attempt to avoid infringing known proprietary rights, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims for alleged infringement by patent, trademark or other intellectual property owners.  Any claims relating to the infringement of third-party proprietary rights, even if not meritorious, could result in costly litigation, divert management’s attention and resources, or require the Company to either enter into royalty or license agreements which are not advantageous to the Company, or pay material amounts of damages. As of February 28, 2014, the Company has recorded approximately $1,200 related to the potential infringement of certain patents for which the Company has been approached by third parties and has made a payment of $265 in settlement of one claim. No legal action has been taken against the Company as of February 28, 2014 related to these alleged infringements and the Company is currently consulting with legal counsel and engaging in discussions with the remaining third parties in question in order to determine whether infringement has taken place and to remediate such issues, if necessary. The Company believes the remaining accrual is a reasonable estimate of the expenditures required to resolve these matters.
	The Company has been a plaintiff in a class action lawsuit against several defendants relating to the alleged price fixing of certain thin film transistor liquid crystal display flat panels and certain products containing these panels purchased between the years 1999 and 2006, and the violation of U.S. antitrust laws. This class action suit was decided in favor of the plaintiffs and in July 2013, the judge in the case ordered the distribution of the settlement funds that had been ordered to be put aside by the defendants. Voxx received a sum of $5,643, which has been recorded in "Other Income (Expense)" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
	The Company was party to a breach of license agreement lawsuit brought against it by MPEG LA, LLC ("MPEG"). In June 2012, the Company reached an agreement with MPEG and agreed to a settlement of $13,096 in final resolution of the matter. As a result of this settlement, the Company recorded a charge of $9,475 during the nine months ended November 30, 2012 ($3,621 had been estimated and recorded by the Company in Fiscal 2012). The charge was recorded in "Other (Expense) Income" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company has sought indemnification from its suppliers for royalty payments previously paid to them that it maintains they were responsible to remit to MPEG and has vigorously pursued its option under its indemnification agreements. The Company completed negotiations with one vendor for an amount of $1,110 during the first quarter of Fiscal 2013, which was recorded as an offset to the settlement expense as a recovery in "Other (Expense)Income" on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), for a net charge of $8,365 for the nine months ended November 30, 2012. Additional recoveries of $5,689 were negotiated and recorded by the Company during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2013. For the year ended February 28, 2014, no additional recoveries have been recorded related to this lawsuit and the Company is not aware of any additional vendors that it may recover funds from related to this matter.

	Subsequent Events
	In March 2014, the Venezuelan government opened a new exchange control mechanism, SICAD 2, which may be available to all entities for all transactions. The SICAD 2 rate does not supersede the SICAD 1 rate, which opened in January 2014, or the country's official exchange rate of 6.30 Venezuelan Bolivar Fuertes (refer to Note 1(p)). On the opening date of March 24, 2014, the bolivar sold for an average of 51.86 bolivars to the U.S. dollar through the SICAD 2 market based exchange mechanism. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these changes on its business. A foreign exchange loss in Fiscal 2015 may ultimately result from this evaluation.

Business Description and Basis of Presentation [Text Block]	'
	Description of Business
	Effective December 1, 2011, Audiovox Corporation changed its name to VOXX International Corporation ("Voxx," "We," "Our," "Us" or "the Company"). The Company believes that the name VOXX International is a name that better represents the widely diversified interests of the Company, and the more than 30 global brands it has acquired and grown throughout the years, achieving a powerful international vehicle for each of these respective brands to emerge with its own identity. Voxx is a leading international manufacturer and distributor in the Automotive, Premium Audio and Consumer Accessories industries. The Company has widely diversified interests, with more than 30 global brands that it has acquired and grown throughout the years, achieving a powerful international corporate image and creating a vehicle for each of these respective brands to emerge with its own identity. We conduct our business through nineteen wholly-owned subsidiaries: Audiovox Atlanta Corp., VOXX Electronics Corporation, VOXX Accessories Corp., Audiovox Consumer Electronics, Inc. ("ACE"), Audiovox German Holdings GmbH ("Audiovox Germany"), Audiovox Venezuela, C.A., Audiovox Canada Limited, Audiovox Hong Kong Ltd., Audiovox International Corp., Audiovox Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. ("Audiovox Mexico"), Technuity, Inc., Code Systems, Inc., Oehlbach Kabel GmbH ("Oehlbach"), Schwaiger GmbH ("Schwaiger"), Invision Automotive Systems, Inc. ("Invision"), Klipsch Holding LLC ("Klipsch"), Car Communication Holding GmbH ("Hirschmann"), Omega Research and Development, LLC ("Omega") and Audiovox Websales LLC.

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Principles of Consolidation, Reclassifications and Accounting Principles
	The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of VOXX International Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company acquired Car Communication Holding GmbH ("Hirschmann") on March 14, 2012. The consolidated financial statements presented for the years ended February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 include the operations of Hirschmann beginning March 14, 2012. The Company acquired Klipsch Group, Inc. and its worldwide subsidiaries ("Klipsch") on March 1, 2011. The consolidated financial statements for the full years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 include the operations of Klipsch.
	Equity investments in which the Company exercises significant influence but does not control and is not the primary beneficiary are accounted for using the equity method.  The Company's share of its equity method investees' earnings or losses is included in other income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The Company eliminates its pro rata share of gross profit on sales to its equity method investees for inventory on hand at the investee at the end of the year. Investments in which the Company is not able to exercise significant influence over the investee are accounted for under the cost method.
	Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Effective December 1, 2012, the Company realigned its subsidiaries into three operating segments based upon the Company's products and internal organization structure (see Note 13).
	The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses.  Such estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts and inventory valuation, recoverability of deferred tax assets, reserve for uncertain tax positions, valuation of long-lived assets, accrued sales incentives, warranty reserves, stock-based compensation, valuation and impairment assessment of investment securities, goodwill, trademarks and other intangible assets, valuation of pension plan assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits with banks and highly liquid money market funds with original maturities of three months or less when purchased.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Fair Value Measurements and Derivatives
	The Company applies the authoritative guidance on "Fair Value Measurements," which among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about investments that are measured and reported at fair value. This guidance establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
	Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
	Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable.
	Level 3 - Unobservable inputs developed using the Company's estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use.
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Derivative Instruments
	The Company's derivative instruments include forward foreign currency contracts utilized to hedge a portion of its foreign currency inventory purchases, local operating expenses, as well as its general economic exposure to foreign currency fluctuations created in the normal course of business. During Fiscal 2014, the Company also entered into three interest rate swap agreements, two of which hedge interest rate exposure related to the forecasted outstanding borrowings on a portion of its credit facility ("Credit Facility"), which was subsequently amended through January 9, 2019 ("Amended Facility") (see Note 6), and the third hedges interest rate exposure related to the forecasted outstanding balance of one of its mortgage notes, with monthly payments due through May 2023. The two swap agreements related to the Amended Facility lock the Company's LIBOR rates at 0.515% and 0.518% (exclusive of credit spread) for the respective agreements through the swaps' maturities. The swap agreement related to the Company's mortgage locks the interest rate on the debt at 3.92% (inclusive of credit spread) through the end of the mortgage. The forward foreign currency derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting are designated as cash flow hedges and valued using observable forward rates for the same or similar instruments (Level 2). Forward foreign currency contracts not designated under hedged transactions were valued at spot rates for the same or similar instruments (Level 2).
Marketable Securities, Trading Securities, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Trading Securities
	The Company’s trading securities consist of mutual funds, which are held in connection with the Company’s deferred compensation plan (see Note 10). Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities offset those associated with the corresponding deferred compensation liability.
Marketable Securities, Available-for-sale Securities, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Available-For-Sale Securities
	The Company’s available-for-sale marketable securities include a less than 20% equity ownership in CLST Holdings, Inc. ("Cellstar") and Bliss-tel Public Company Limited ("Bliss-tel").
	Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect (if applicable), on available-for-sale securities are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific identification basis.
	A decline in the market value of any held to maturity or available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed other-than-temporary results in a reduction in carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established.  The Company considers numerous factors, on a case-by-case basis, in evaluating whether the decline in market value of an available-for-sale security below cost is other-than-temporary. Such factors include, but are not limited to, (i) the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost; (ii) the financial condition and the near-term prospects of the issuer of the investment; and (iii) whether the Company's intent to retain the investment for the period of time is sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.
Marketable Securities, Held-to-maturity Securities, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Held-to-Maturity Investment
	Long-term investments include an investment in U.S. dollar-denominated bonds issued by the Venezuelan government, which is classified as held-to-maturity and accounted for under the amortized cost method.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company recognizes revenue from product sales at the time of passage of title and risk of loss to the customer either at FOB shipping point or FOB destination, based upon terms established with the customer. The Company's selling price to its customers is a fixed amount that is not subject to refund or adjustment or contingent upon additional rebates.  Any customer acceptance provisions, which are related to product testing, are satisfied prior to revenue recognition. There are no further obligations on the part of the Company subsequent to revenue recognition except for product returns from the Company's customers. The Company does accept product returns, if properly requested, authorized, and approved by the Company. The Company records an estimate of product returns by its customers and records the provision for the estimated amount of such future returns at point of sale, based on historical experience and any notification the Company receives of pending returns.
	The Company includes all costs incurred for shipping and handling as cost of sales and all amounts billed to customers as revenue
Receivables, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Accounts Receivable
	The majority of the Company's accounts receivable are due from companies in the retail, mass merchant and OEM industries. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer's financial condition. Accounts receivable are generally due within 30-60 days and are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than the contracted payment terms are considered past due.
	Accounts receivable is comprised of the following:
		February 28,		February 28,
		2014		2013
	Trade accounts receivable and other	$	155,132	$	161,667
	Less:
	Allowance for doubtful accounts	6,889		7,840
	Allowance for cash discounts	1,189		1,231
		$	147,054	$	152,596
	The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customers' current credit worthiness, as determined by a review of their current credit information. The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified.
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Inventory
	The Company values its inventory at the lower of the actual cost to purchase (primarily on a weighted moving-average basis with a portion valued at standard cost) and/or the current estimated market value of the inventory less expected costs to sell the inventory. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on-hand and records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on selling prices, indications from customers based upon current price negotiations and purchase orders.  The Company's industry is characterized by rapid technological change and frequent new product introductions that could result in an increase in the amount of obsolete inventory quantities on-hand.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Property, Plant and Equipment
	Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Property under a capital lease is stated at the present value of minimum lease payments. Major improvements and replacements that extend service lives of the assets are capitalized. Minor replacements, and routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated balance sheets.
	A summary of property, plant and equipment, net, is as follows:
		February 28,		February 28,
		2014		2013
	Land	$	6,652	$	6,421
	Buildings	44,378		42,670
	Property under capital lease	8,473		8,080
	Furniture, fixtures and displays	4,951		4,296
	Machinery and equipment	30,512		25,659
	Construction-in-progress	1,856		4,159
	Computer hardware and software	33,738		24,325
	Automobiles	1,236		914
	Leasehold improvements	10,505		9,415
		142,301		125,939
	Less accumulated depreciation and amortization	59,079		49,731
		$	83,222	$	76,208
	Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
	Buildings		20-30 years
	Furniture, fixtures and displays		5-10 years
	Machinery and equipment		5-10 years
	Computer hardware and software		3-5 years
	Automobiles		3 years
	Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Assets acquired under capital leases are amortized over the term of the respective lease. Accumulated amortization of assets under capital lease totaled $4,475 and $4,036 at February 28, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Goodwill and Intangible Assets
	Goodwill and other intangible assets consist of the excess over the fair value of assets acquired (goodwill), and other intangible assets (patents, contracts, trademarks/tradenames and customer relationships).  Values assigned to the respective assets are determined in accordance with ASC 805 "Business Combinations" ("ASC 805") and ASC 350 "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other" ("ASC 350").
	Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the cost of purchased businesses over the value of their underlying net assets. Generally, the primary valuation method used to determine the Fair Value ("FV") of acquired businesses is the Discounted Future Cash Flow Method ("DCF").  A five-year period is analyzed using a risk adjusted discount rate.
	The value of potential intangible assets separate from goodwill are independently evaluated and assigned to the respective categories.  The largest categories from recently acquired businesses are Trademarks and Customer Relationships. The FV’s of trademarks acquired are determined using the Relief from Royalty Method based on projected sales of the trademarked products.  The FV’s of customer relationships are determined using the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method which includes a DCF analysis, adjusted for a required return on tangible and intangible assets. The Company categorizes this fair value determination as Level 3 (unobservable) in the fair value hierarchy, as described in Note 1(e). The guidance in ASC 350, including management’s business intent for its use; ongoing market demand for products relevant to the category and their ability to generate future cash flows; legal, regulatory or contractual provisions on its use or subsequent renewal, as applicable; and the cost to maintain or renew the rights to the assets, are considered in determining the useful life of all intangible assets.  If the Company determines that there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors which limit the useful life of the asset, an indefinite life will be assigned and evaluated for impairment as indicated below.  Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not amortized.  Intangible assets that have a definite useful life are amortized over their estimated useful life.
	ASC 350 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives be tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that could more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.  Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are required to be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment if indicators of impairment exist. To determine the fair value of these intangible assets, there are many assumptions and estimates used that directly impact the results of the testing. Management has the ability to influence the outcome and ultimate results based on the assumptions and estimates chosen. To mitigate undue influence, the Company set criteria that are reviewed and approved by various levels of management. Additionally, the Company may evaluate our recorded intangible assets with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, as necessary. All reports and conclusions are reviewed by management who has ultimate responsibility for their content. If a significant change in these estimates occurs, the Company could experience impairment charges, in addition to those noted below, in future periods.
	Goodwill is tested using a two-step process. The first step is to identify a potential impairment, and the second step measures the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value. Voxx's reporting units that carry goodwill are Hirschmann, Invision and Klipsch. The Company has three operating segments based upon its products and internal organizational structure (see Note 13). These operating segments are the Automotive, Premium Audio and Consumer Accessories segments. The Hirschmann and Invision reporting units are located within the Automotive segment and the Klipsch reporting unit is located within the Premium Audio segment.The goodwill for the reporting units were tested as of February 28, 2014 using a discounted future cash flow method with discount rates that ranged from 12.5% to 15.1% within the analyses. The resulting fair values of the reporting units were evaluated giving consideration to the market capitalization of the Company. Based on the Company's goodwill impairment assessment, the Hirschmann and Invision reporting units with goodwill had estimated fair values as of February 28, 2014 that exceeded their carrying values.
	Upon completion of the annual Step 1 assessment for the year ended February 28, 2014, the estimated fair value of the Klipsch reporting unit did not exceed its carrying amount, including goodwill. As a result, the second phase of the goodwill impairment test ("Step 2") was performed specific to Klipsch. Under Step 2, the fair value of all Klipsch's assets and liabilities were estimated, including tangible and intangible assets. The implied fair value of the goodwill as a residual was then compared to the recorded goodwill to determine the amount of impairment. As a result of this analysis, an impairment charge of $32,163 was recorded for goodwill for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2014 in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) within the Premium Audio segment. No impairment charges were recorded related to goodwill during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013. The goodwill balances of Hirschmann, Invision and Klipsch at February 28, 2014 are $64,033, $7,373 and $46,532, respectively.
	For intangible assets with indefinite lives, primarily trademarks, the Company compared the fair value of each intangible asset with its carrying amount. To compute the fair value at February 28, 2014, various considerations were evaluated including current sales associated with these brands, management’s expectations for future sales and performance of the business. With the exception of the Technuity intangibles below, at the present time, management intends to continue the development, marketing and selling of products associated with its intangible assets and there are no known restrictions on the continuation of their use. We utilized a Relief-from-Royalty Method, applying royalty rates of 0.5% to 7.0% for the relative trademarks and domain name after reviewing comparable market rates, the profitability of the products associated with relative intangible assets, and other qualitative factors. We determined that risk-adjusted discount rates ranging from 13.2% to 15.8% were appropriate as a result of weighted average cost of capital analyses. As a result of this analysis, it was determined that certain indefinite lived trademarks were impaired, resulting in a total impairment charge of $21,715 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2014. No impairment losses were recorded related to indefinite lived intangible assets during the twelve months ended February 28, 2013. Indicators of impairment existed which required the Company to evaluate the related long lived assets at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. As a result of this further analysis, no additional impairments of the long lived assets were recorded other than the abandonment noted below.
	The above impairment charges were the result of various indicators that occurred during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2014. Specifically, certain of our consumer electronic and premium audio product lines experienced significantly lower than expected performance. In addition, indications of near-term shortfalls for certain products within these lines were apparent. Taking these factors into account, along with long-term industry forecasts, the Company had re-evaluated its projections. Further, some of the weighted-average cost of capital rates increased in Fiscal 2014 as a result of higher stock volatility of market participants, as compared to overall market returns. All of these factors led to the Fiscal 2014 impairment charges for goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles.
	During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2014, the Company made a business decision to abandon its Technuity business and restructure the marketing and use of the Company's domain name. These decisions resulted in an impairment of the related definite and indefinite lived intangible assets, as well as the long lived assets in accordance with ASC360 "Property, Plant and Equipment" ("ASC 360"). As a result, an impairment charge of $3,683 was recorded related to both definite and indefinite lived tradenames, customer relationships and long lived fixed assets.
	The cost of other intangible assets with definite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective lives.
Revenue Recognition, Incentives [Policy Text Block]	'
	Sales Incentives
	The Company offers sales incentives to its customers in the form of (1) co-operative advertising allowances; (2) market development funds; (3) volume incentive rebates and (4) other trade allowances.  The Company accounts for sales incentives in accordance with ASC 605-50 "Customer Payments and Incentives" ("ASC 605-50").  Except for other trade allowances, all sales incentives require the customer to purchase the Company's products during a specified period of time. All sales incentives require customers to claim the sales incentive within a certain time period (referred to as the "claim period") and claims are settled either by the customer claiming a deduction against an outstanding account receivable or by the customer requesting a cash payout.  All costs associated with sales incentives are classified as a reduction of net sales. The following is a summary of the various sales incentive programs:
	Co-operative advertising allowances are offered to customers as reimbursement towards their costs for print or media advertising in which the Company’s product is featured on its own or in conjunction with other companies' products.  The amount offered is either a fixed amount or is based upon a fixed percentage of sales revenue or a fixed amount per unit sold to the customer during a specified time period.
	Market development funds are offered to customers in connection with new product launches or entrance into new markets.  The amount offered for new product launches is based upon a fixed amount, or percentage of sales revenue to the customer or a fixed amount per unit sold to the customer during a specified time period.
	Volume incentive rebates offered to customers require minimum quantities of product to be purchased during a specified period of time. The amount offered is either based upon a fixed percentage of sales revenue to the customer or a fixed amount per unit sold to the customer. The Company makes an estimate of the ultimate amount of the rebate their customers will earn based upon past history with the customers and other facts and circumstances. The Company has the ability to estimate these volume incentive rebates, as the period of time for a particular rebate to be claimed is relatively short.  Any changes in the estimated amount of volume incentive rebates are recognized immediately using a cumulative catch-up adjustment. The Company accrues the cost of co-operative advertising allowances, volume incentive rebates and market development funds at the latter of when the customer purchases our products or when the sales incentive is offered to the customer.
	Other trade allowances are additional sales incentives that the Company provides to customers subsequent to the related revenue being recognized. The Company records the provision for these additional sales incentives at the later of when the sales incentive is offered or when the related revenue is recognized. Such additional sales incentives are based upon a fixed percentage of the selling price to the customer, a fixed amount per unit, or a lump-sum amount.
	The accrual balance for sales incentives at February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 was $17,401 and $16,821, respectively.  Although the Company makes its best estimate of its sales incentive liability, many factors, including significant unanticipated changes in the purchasing volume of its customers and the lack of claims made by customers could have a significant impact on the sales incentives liability and reported operating results.
	For the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, reversals of previously established sales incentive liabilities amounted to $1,990, $3,350 and $3,662, respectively. These reversals include unearned and unclaimed sales incentives. Reversals of unearned sales incentives are volume incentive rebates where the customer did not purchase the required minimum quantities of product during the specified time. Volume incentive rebates are reversed into income in the period when the customer did not reach the required minimum purchases of product during the specified time. Unearned sales incentives for the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 amounted to $1,935, $2,933 and $2,200, respectively.  Unclaimed sales incentives are sales incentives earned by the customer but the customer has not claimed payment from the Company within the claim period (period after program has ended). Unclaimed sales incentives for the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 amounted to $55, $417 and $1,462, respectively.
	The Company reverses earned but unclaimed sales incentives based upon the expiration of the claim period of each program.  Unclaimed sales incentives that have no specified claim period are reversed in the quarter following one year from the end of the program. The Company believes the reversal of earned but unclaimed sales incentives upon the expiration of the claim period is a systematic, rational, consistent and conservative method of reversing unclaimed sales incentives.

Standard Product Warranty, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Product Warranties and Product Repair Costs
	The Company generally warranties its products against certain manufacturing and other defects. The Company provides warranties for all of its products ranging from 90 days to the lifetime of the product. Warranty expenses are accrued at the time of sale based on the Company's estimated cost to repair expected product returns for warranty matters. This liability is based primarily on historical experiences of actual warranty claims as well as current information on repair costs. The warranty liability of $11,033 and $12,788 is recorded in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, respectively. In addition, the Company records a reserve for product repair costs which is based upon the quantities of defective inventory on hand and an estimate of the cost to repair such defective inventory. The reserve for product repair costs of $1,445 and $1,763 is recorded as a reduction to inventory in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, respectively. Warranty claims and product repair costs expense for the years ended February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 were $11,508, $13,798 and $11,839, respectively.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Foreign Currency
	Assets and liabilities of those subsidiaries and former equity investees located outside the United States whose cash flows are primarily in local currencies have been translated at rates of exchange at the end of the period or historical exchange rates, as appropriate in accordance with ASC 830, "Foreign Currency Matters" ("ASC 830"). Revenues and expenses have been translated at the weighted-average rates of exchange in effect during the period.  Gains and losses resulting from translation are recorded in the cumulative foreign currency translation account in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Income Taxes
	Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, we consider all positive and negative evidence including the results of recent operations, scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, future taxable income and tax planning strategies. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled (see Note 7). The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
	Uncertain Tax Positions
	The Company adopted guidance included in ASC 740 "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740") as it relates to uncertain tax positions.  The guidance addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.  Under ASC 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements.
	Tax interest and penalties
	The Company classifies interest and penalties associated with income taxes as a component of income tax expense (benefit) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Net Income Per Common Share
	Basic net income per common share is based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of
	Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360 whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Recoverability of assets held for sale is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to their estimated fair market value. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
	The Company has a stock-based compensation plan under which employees and non-employee directors may be granted incentive stock options ("ISO's") and non-qualified stock options ("NQSO's") to purchase shares of Class A common stock. Under the plan, the exercise price of the ISO's will not be less than the market value of the Company's Class A common stock or greater than 110% of the market value of the Company's Class A common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of the NQSO's may not be less than 50% of the market value of the Company's Class A common stock on the date of grant. The plan permits for options to be exercised at various intervals as determined by the Board of Directors. However, the maximum expiration period is ten years from date of grant. The vesting requirements are determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant.  Exercised options are issued from authorized Class A common stock.  As of February 28, 2014, approximately 1,700,000 shares were available for future grants under the terms of these plans.
	Options are measured at the fair value of the award at the date of grant and are recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. Compensation expense related to stock-based awards with vesting terms are amortized using the straight-line attribution method.

	Options are measured at the fair value of the award at the date of grant and are recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. Compensation expense related to stock-based awards with vesting terms are amortized using the straight-line attribution method.

Domestic Bank ObligationsFrom March 1, 2013 through January 8, 2014, we had a revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). Funds from the Credit Facility were used to complete the acquisition of Hirschmann in March 2012, as well as to fund the temporary short-term working capital needs of the Company. The Credit Facility had an aggregated committed availability of up to $205,000, consisting of a revolving credit facility of $80,000; a $50,000 multicurrency revolving facility, of which up to the equivalent of $50,000 was available only to VOXX International (Germany) GmbH in euros; and a five year term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $75,000. $110,000 of the U. S. revolving credit facility was available on a revolving basis for five years from the closing date. An additional $20,000 was available during the periods from September 1, 2012 through January 31, 2013 and from September 1, 2013 through November 30, 2013. The Credit Facility included a $25,000 sublimit for issuers of letters of credit for domestic borrowings and a $10,000 sublimit for Swing Loans.The Credit Facility contained covenants that limited the ability of certain entities of the Company to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) incur liens; (iii) merge, consolidate or exit a substantial portion of their respective businesses; (iv) make any material change in the nature of their business; (v) prepay or otherwise acquire indebtedness; (vi) cause any Change of Control; (vii) make any Restricted Payments; (viii) change their fiscal year or method of accounting; (ix) make advances, loans or investments; (x) enter into or permit any transaction with an Affiliate of certain entities of the Company; or (xi) use proceeds for certain items. On January 9, 2014, the Company amended and restated its Credit Facility (the "Amended Facility"). The Amended Facility provides for senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate amount of $200,000, consisting of a revolving credit facility of $200,000, with a $30,000 multicurrency revolving credit facility sublimit, a $25,000 sublimit for Letters of Credit and a $10,000 sublimit for Swingline Loans. The Amended Facility is due on January 9, 2019, however, it is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement).Generally, the Company may designate specific borrowings under the Amended Facility as either Alternate Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, except that Swingline Loans may only be designated as Alternate Base Rate Loans. VOXX International (Germany) GmbH may only borrow euros, and only as LIBOR rate loans. Loans designated as LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the then applicable LIBOR rate plus a range of 1.00 - 2.00% based upon leverage, as defined in the agreement. Loans designated as Alternate Base Rate loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.00 - 1.00% based on excess availability in the borrowing base. As of FebruaryB 28, 2014, the interest rate on the facility was 2.28%.The Amended Facility requires compliance with financial covenants calculated as of the last day of each fiscal quarter consisting of a Total Leverage Ratio and a Consolidated EBIT to Consolidated Interest Expense Ratio.The Amended Facility contains covenants that limit the ability of certain entities of the Company to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) incur liens; (iii) merge, consolidate or exit a substantial portion of their respective businesses; (iv) make any material change in the nature of their business; (v) prepay or otherwise acquire indebtedness; (vi) cause any Change of Control; (vii) make any Restricted Payments; (viii) change their fiscal year or method of accounting; (ix) make advances, loans or investments; (x) enter into or permit any transaction with an Affiliate of certain entities of the Company; or (xi) use proceeds for certain items. As of FebruaryB 28, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.The Obligations under the Amended Facility are secured by valid and perfected first priority security interests in liens on all of the following: (a)(i) 100% of the capital stock or other membership or partnership equity ownership of profit interests of each domestic Credit Party (other than the Company), and (ii) 65% of the voting equity interests and 100% of the non-voting equity interests of all present and future first-tier foreign subsidiaries of any Credit Party (or such greater percentage as would not result in material adverse federal income tax consequences for the Company); (b) all of (i) the tangible and intangible personal property/assets of the Credit Parties and (ii) the fee-owned real property of the Company located in Hauppauge, New York; and (c) all products, profits, rents and proceeds of the foregoing.No additional funds were borrowed on January 9, 2014, in conjunction with the amendment to the credit facility. As of FebruaryB 28, 2014, approximately $87,950 was outstanding under the line. Charges incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility and Amended Credit Facility during the years ended FebruaryB 28, 2014, FebruaryB 28, 2013 and FebruaryB 29, 2012 totaled $151, $94 and $596, respectively, and are included within interest and bank charges on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). As a result of the amendment to the Credit Facility, the Company incurred additional debt financing costs of $1,455, which are recorded as deferred financing costs. The Company has accounted for the amendment as a modification of debt and has added these costs to the remaining financing costs related to the original Credit Facility and its amended predecessor of approximately $6,700. These deferred financing costs have been included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized through interest and bank charges over the five year term of the Amended Facility. During the years ended FebruaryB 28, 2014 and FebruaryB 28, 2013, the Company amortized $1,377 and $1,210 of these costs, respectively.

Euro Asset-Based Lending ObligationForeign bank obligations include a financing arrangement entered into in October 2000, totaling 20,000 Euros and consisting of a Euro accounts receivable factoring arrangement (see Note 1(h)) and a Euro Asset-Based Lending ("ABL") (up to 60% of eligible non-factored accounts receivable) credit facility for the Company's subsidiary, Audiovox Germany, which expires on NovemberB 1, 2014. The rate of interest is the three month Euribor plus 1.9% (2.19% at FebruaryB 28, 2014), and the Company pays 0.22% of its gross sales as a fee for the accounts receivable factoring arrangement. As of FebruaryB 28, 2014, the amount of non-factored accounts receivable exceeded the amounts outstanding under this obligation.

[3]

Euro Loan AgreementOn March 30, 2008, Audiovox Germany entered into a 5,000 Euro term loan agreement. This agreement was for a five year term with a financial institution and was used to repay the Audiovox Germany intercompany debt to VOXX International Corporation. Interest accrued at a fixed rate of 4.82%.

[4]

Hirschmann Line of CreditOn July 15, 2012, Hirschmann entered into an agreement for a €6,000 working capital line of credit with a financial institution. The agreement is payable on demand and is mutually cancelable. The rate of interest is the three month Euribor plus 2% (2.29% at FebruaryB 28, 2014) and the line of credit is guaranteed by VOXX International Corporation. There was no outstanding balance on the line of credit as of FebruaryB 28, 2014 and FebruaryB 28, 2013.

[5]

Klipsch NotesIncluded in this balance is a mortgage on a facility included in the assets acquired in connection with the Klipsch transaction on March 1, 2011 and assumed by Voxx. The balance at FebruaryB 28, 2014 is $575 and will be fully paid by the end of Fiscal 2018.On April 20, 2012, the Company purchased the building housing Klipsch's headquarters in Indianapolis, IN for $10,900. The Company paid $3,100 cash at closing and assumed the mortgage held by the seller, Woodview LLC, in the amount of $7,800.
