Board of Directors and Committees

The Company’s Board presently consists of seven directors and, other than the resignation from the Board of Mr. Adrian Ma on August 8, 2011 and the appointment to the Board of Mr. Vincent Fok on August 31, 2011 to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Ma’s resignation, the Board’s composition is otherwise unchanged since the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 (“Fiscal 2012”) — Messrs. Ho, Will, Hon, Fok, Mahathir, Sethi and Snellings currently serve on the Board. The Board has determined that four of the seven current directors, Messrs. Will, Mahathir, Sethi and Snellings, meet the definition of independence as established by the NYSE MKT listing rules.

The Board presently has two standing committees, the Audit Committee, which is a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10A-3 thereunder, and the Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee. Prior to November 10, 2011, there was a third committee, the Related Party Transaction Review Committee, which was dissolved on that date, and whose duties have been assigned to the Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee.

The Company’s Audit Committee currently consists of Mr. Sethi and Mr. Snellings, both of whom the Board has determined meet the definition of independence as established by the NYSE MKT listing rules and SEC rules, and its composition is unchanged since the beginning of Fiscal 2012. Mr. Sethi is currently the Chairman of the Audit Committee and the “audit committee financial expert.” Pursuant to Section 803(B)(2)(c) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide (the “Company Guide”), as a smaller reporting company, the Company is required to have an audit committee of at least two independent members, as defined by the listing standards of the NYSE MKT.

The Audit Committee is empowered by the Board, among other things, to: (i) serve as an independent and objective party to monitor the Company’s financial reporting process, internal control system and disclosure control system; (ii) review and appraise the audit efforts of the Company’s independent accountants; (iii) assume direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of the outside auditors and for the resolution of disputes between the outside auditors and the Company’s management regarding financial reporting issues; and (iv) provide the opportunity for direct communication among the independent accountants, financial and senior management and the Board. During Fiscal 2012, the Audit Committee performed its duties under a written charter approved by the Board and formally met four times. A copy of the Company’s Audit Committee Charter is posted on the Company’s website: www.emersonradio.com on the Investor Relations page.

Director Qualifications

The Board believes that the Company and its stockholders are best served by having leadership personnel from the Company’s principal stockholder and individuals who have extensive experience in the Company’s industry and knowledge of the Company’s competitive landscape serve on its Board. The Board also believes that the backgrounds and qualifications of its directors, considered as a group, should provide a composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will allow the Board to fulfill its responsibilities. Please refer to the biographies of each of the Company’s directors for a discussion of the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that led to the conclusion that each individual should serve as a director.

Codes of Ethics

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

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

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

(1)

Based on 27,129,832 shares of common stock outstanding as of July 30, 2012. Each beneficial owner’s percentage ownership of common stock is determined by assuming that options that are held by such person (but not those held by any other person) and that are exercisable or convertible within 60 days of July 30, 2012 have been exercised. Except as otherwise indicated, the beneficial ownership table does not include common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options, which are not currently exercisable within 60 days of July 30, 2012. Except as otherwise indicated and based upon the Company’s review of information as filed with the SEC, the Company believes that the beneficial owners of the securities listed have sole investment and voting power with respect to such shares, subject to community property laws where applicable.

(2)

The Grande Holdings Limited (Provisional Liquidators Appointed) (“Grande”), a Bermuda corporation, has, together with S&T International Distribution Limited (“S&T”), Grande N.A.K.S. Ltd. and Christopher Ho (Chairman of Grande’s and Emerson’s Boards of Directors) (together with Grande, the “Reporting Persons”) filed, on July 5, 2012, a Schedule 13D/A with the SEC stating that, as of the filing date, the Reporting Persons (except Christopher Ho) had the shared power to vote and direct the disposition of 15,243,283 shares, or approximately 56.2%, of the outstanding common stock of Emerson, subject only to the rights granted to Deutsche Bank AG (“Deutsche Bank”) pursuant to a security agreement entered into between S&T and Deutsche Bank on January 20, 2010 in which S&T granted a security interest in an aggregate of 3,780,600 shares in Emerson common stock (the “Pledged Shares”) owned by S&T but pledged to Deutsche Bank for the purposes of securing obligations owing from Grande to Deutsche Bank (the “Secured Obligations”). The aforementioned Schedule 13D/A also states that, as of the filing date, the Reporting Persons are aware only of the sale of 391,199 of the Pledged Shares by Deutsche Bank and that they have not yet been able to verify whether, or to what extent, Deutsche Bank has taken any other actions in respect of the Pledged Shares. The Reporting Persons also are of the view that the Secured Obligations have already been settled and, therefore, S&T reportedly is seeking clarification of the basis on which Deutsche Bank has claimed beneficial ownership of the remaining 3,380,079 shares out of the remaining 3,389,401 Pledged Shares. On February 11, 2011, Deutsche Bank filed a Schedule 13G with the SEC stating that it had sole voting and sole dispositive power over the Pledged Shares, which represent approximately 12.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. On January 9, 2012, Deutsche Bank filed with the SEC a Form 4 Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership stating that, after sales by it of certain of the Pledged Shares, it beneficially owned 3,380,079 shares of Emerson’s common stock, and on February 10, 2012, Deutsche Bank filed with the SEC a Schedule 13G stating that it was the beneficial owner with sole voting and sole dispositive power of such shares. As a result of the foregoing, there are competing claims to 3,380,079 shares of Emerson’s common stock. Until further clarification is obtained, Emerson is unable to determine the beneficial ownership of such shares. The address for the Reporting Persons is Level 22, The Centre, 99 Queen’s Road Central, Central, Hong Kong.

On May 31, 2011, upon application of a major creditor, the High Court of Hong Kong appointed Fok Hei Yu (who is also known by the anglicized name Vincent Fok), a current director, and Roderick John Sutton, both of FTI Consulting (Hong Kong) Limited (“FTI”), as Joint and Several Provisional Liquidators over Grande (the “Provisional Liquidators over Grande”). Accordingly, as of May 31, 2011, the directors of Grande no longer have the ability to exercise control over Grande or the power to direct the voting and disposition of the 15,243,283 shares described in footnote (2). Instead, Mr. Fok, as a Provisional Liquidator over Grande, has such power.

(4)	Mr. Will’s ownership consists of options to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to Emerson’s 2004 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan that are exercisable within 60 days of July 30, 2012.

(5)	The address for Deutsche Bank AG is Theodor-Heuss-Allee 70, 60468 Frankfurt am Main, Federal Republic of Germany — see also footnote (2) above.

Miller, III has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to 1,104,031 of the reported securities and shared voting and dispositive power with respect to 260,671 of the reported securities. The address of Lloyd Miller, III is 222 Lakeview Avenue, suite 160-365, West Palm Beach, Florida 33401.

ITEM 13 — CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

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

Controlling Shareholder

The aforementioned Schedule 13D/A also states that, as of the filing date, the Reporting Persons are aware only of the sale of 391,199 of the Pledged Shares by Deutsche Bank and that they have not yet been able to verify whether, or to what extent, Deutsche Bank has taken any other actions in respect of the Pledged Shares.

As a result of the foregoing, there are competing claims to 3,380,079 shares of Emerson’s common stock. Until further clarification is obtained, Emerson is unable to determine the beneficial ownership of such shares.

On May 31, 2011, upon application of a major creditor, the High Court of Hong Kong appointed Fok Hei Yu (who is also known by the anglicized name Vincent Fok), a current director, and Roderick John Sutton, both of FTI Consulting (Hong Kong) Limited (“FTI”), as Joint and Several Provisional Liquidators over Grande (the “Provisional Liquidators over Grande”). Accordingly, as of May 31, 2011, the directors of Grande no longer have the ability to exercise control over Grande or the power to direct the voting and disposition of the 15,243,283 shares described in footnote (2) to “Item 12 – Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters”. Instead, Mr. Fok, as a Provisional Liquidator over Grande, has such power.

Related Party Transactions

Rented Space in Hong Kong

Effective January 1, 2010, Emerson entered into a lease agreement with Lafe Properties (Hong Kong) Limited (“Lafe”), a related party of Grande at that time, pursuant to which Emerson rented 36,540 square feet from Lafe for the purpose of housing its Hong Kong based office personnel and for its use to refurbish certain returned products. This lease agreement expired on December 31, 2010 and was renewed for a one year period on substantially the same terms during December 2010, and expired on December 31, 2011. On December 31, 2010, Lafe was sold by its immediate holding company to an independent third party, and, as such, the Company no longer considers Lafe to be a related party to the Company beginning December 31, 2010. For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, Emerson’s rent expense associated with this lease was approximately $387,000.

Related service charges associated with this lease agreement that the Company continues to procure from Brighton Marketing Limited, a subsidiary of Grande, The Grande Properties Management Limited, a related party of Grande, and The Grande Group (HK) Ltd., a related party of Grande, totaled approximately $81,000 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to approximately $161,000 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2011, which also included charges associated with the lease agreement that were provided during the twelve months ended March 31, 2011 by Devon Technical Services Ltd., a subsidiary of Grande. Emerson owed The Grande Group (HK) Ltd. approximately $1,000 pertaining to these charges at March 31, 2012. Emerson owed Brighton Marketing Limited approximately $2,000 pertaining to these charges at March 31, 2011.

Rented Space in the People’s Republic of China

In December 2008, Emerson signed a lease agreement with Akai Electric (China) Co., Ltd. (“Akai China”), a subsidiary of Grande prior to its disposal on December 24, 2010, concerning the rental of office space, office equipment, and lab equipment for Emerson’s quality assurance personnel in Zhongshan, People’s Republic of China. The lease term began in July 2007 and ended by its terms in June 2009, at which time the agreement renewed automatically on a month-by-month basis unless canceled by either party. The agreement was cancelled in May 2011.

On December 24, 2010, Grande announced that it sold Capetronic Group Ltd. (“Capetronic”) to a purchaser who, along with its beneficial owner, are third parties independent of Grande and its connected persons, as defined in the Listing Rules, and to the best of Grande’s and its directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable inquiries (the “Sale”). As Akai China was a subsidiary of Capetronic at the time of the Sale, and was disposed of along with Capetronic by Grande, the Company is no longer considering Akai China to be a related party to the Company beginning December 24, 2010.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, Emerson’s rent expense associated with this lease agreement totaled approximately $85,000.

Consulting Services Provided to Emerson by one of its Directors

During the twelve months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, Emerson paid consulting fees of approximately $62,000 and $114,000, respectively, to Mr. Eduard Will, a director of Emerson, for work performed by Mr. Will related to strategy for the Kayne Litigation as more fully described in Note 9 — “Legal Proceedings — Kayne Litigation”, merger and acquisition research, as well as work related to the strategy for a shareholder derivative lawsuit that the Company settled in January 2011. In addition, during the twelve months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, Emerson paid expense reimbursements and advances, in the aggregate, of approximately $19,000 and $23,000, respectively, to Mr. Will, related to this consulting work and his service as a director of Emerson. At March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, the Company owed Mr. Will approximately $10,000 and nil related to these activities.

Other

On April 7, 2010, upon a request made to the Company by S&T International Distribution Limited (“S&T”), a subsidiary of Grande, the Company entered into an agreement with S&T, whereby the Company returned to S&T on April 7, 2010 that portion of the taxes that the Company had withheld from the dividend paid on March 24, 2010 to S&T, which the Company believes is not subject to U.S. tax based on the Company’s good-faith estimate of its accumulated earnings and profits (the “Agreement”). The Company believes this transaction results in an off-balance sheet arrangement, which is comprised of a possible contingent tax liability of the Company, which, if recognized, would be offset by the calling by the Company on S&T of the indemnification provisions of the Agreement. Per the terms of the Agreement, Emerson invoiced S&T in June 2010 approximately $42,000 for reimbursement of legal fees incurred by Emerson with regard to the Agreement and approximately $33,000 as a transaction fee for having entered into the Agreement. In January 2011, Emerson agreed, upon the request of S&T, to waive approximately $5,000 of the legal charges that had been invoiced to S&T in June 2010. S&T paid the full amount owed to Emerson of approximately $70,000 in February 2011. In February 2011, upon the request of S&T to the Company, the Company and S&T agreed the collateral pledged as a part of the Agreement would no longer be required and this collateral was returned by the Company to S&T in March 2011.

During the twelve months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, Emerson invoiced Vigers Appraisal & Consulting Ltd. (“Vigers”), a related party of Grande, approximately $4,000 and $5,000, respectively, for office rental and usage of telephone and data lines maintained by Emerson. Vigers owed Emerson approximately $1,000 and nil, respectively, at March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, related to this activity.

During the twelve months ended March 31, 2011, Akai Sales Pte Ltd. (“Akai Sales”), a subsidiary of Grande, invoiced Emerson approximately $7,300 for travel expenses and courier fees which Akai Sales paid on Emerson’s behalf. At March 31, 2011, Emerson owed Akai Sales nil. There were no transactions between Akai Sales and the Company during the twelve months ended March 31, 2012.
