PROXY STATEMENT
 
FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD DECEMBER 13, 2007
 
To Our Stockholders:
     This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Emerson Radio Corp., a Delaware corporation, to be used at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held at the offices of our counsel, Lowenstein Sandler PC, located at 65 Livingston Avenue, Roseland, New Jersey 07068 on Thursday, December 13, 2007, at 10:00 a.m. (local time), or at any adjournment or adjournments thereof. Our stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 9, 2007, are entitled to vote at our annual meeting. We expect to begin mailing this proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card to our stockholders on or about November 21, 2007.
VOTING PROCEDURES AND REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES
     The accompanying proxy card is designed to permit each of our stockholders as of the record date to vote on each of the proposals properly brought before the annual meeting. As of the record date, there were 27,129,832 shares of our common stock, par value $.01 per share, issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the annual meeting. Each outstanding share of our common stock is entitled to one vote.
     The holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock, present in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the annual meeting. If a quorum is not present, the annual meeting may be adjourned from time to time until a quorum is obtained. Assuming that a quorum is present, directors will be elected by a plurality vote and the ten nominees who receive the most votes will be elected. There is no right to cumulate votes in the election of directors. The ratification of the appointment of Moore Stephens, P.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008 will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote with respect to such proposal.
     Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present and do not have an effect on the election of directors. Abstentions,

1


 

but not broker non-votes, are treated as shares present and entitled to vote, and will be counted as a “no” vote on all other matters. Broker non-votes are treated as not entitled to vote, and so reduce the absolute number, but not the percentage of votes needed for approval of a matter. As of the record date, The Grande Holdings Limited (“Grande Holdings”) had the indirect power to vote approximately 57.6% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, and Grande Holdings has advised us that they intend to attend the annual meeting and intend to vote in favor of each of the proposals. As a result, we expect that we will have a quorum present at the annual meeting and that each of the proposals will be approved. Holders of our common stock will not have any dissenters’ rights of appraisal in connection with any of the matters to be voted on at the annual meeting.
     The accompanying proxy card provides space for you to vote in favor of, or to withhold voting for: (i) the nominees for the Board of Directors and (ii) the ratification of the appointment of Moore Stephens, P.C. as independent registered public accountants of Emerson for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008. Our Board of Directors urges you to complete, sign, date and return the proxy card in the accompanying envelope, which is postage prepaid for mailing in the United States.
     When a signed proxy card is returned with choices specified with respect to voting matters, the proxies designated on the proxy card will vote the shares in accordance with the stockholder’s instructions. The proxies we have designated for the stockholders are Greenfield Pitts and John D. Florian. If you desire to name another person as your proxy, you may do so by crossing out the names of the designated proxies and inserting the names of the other persons to act as your proxies. In that case, it will be necessary for you to sign the proxy card and deliver it to the person named as your proxy and for the named proxy to be present and vote at the annual meeting. Proxy cards so marked should not be mailed to us.
     If you sign your proxy card and return it to us and you have made no specifications with respect to voting matters, your shares will be voted FOR: (i) the election of the nominees for director and (ii) the ratification of the appointment of Moore Stephens, P.C. as our independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008 and, at the discretion of the proxies designated by us, on any other matter that may properly come before the annual meeting or any adjournment(s).
     You have the unconditional right to revoke your proxy at any time prior to the voting of the proxy by taking any act inconsistent with the proxy. Acts inconsistent with the proxy include notifying our Secretary in writing of your revocation, executing a subsequent proxy, or personally appearing at the annual meeting and casting a contrary vote. However, no revocation shall be effective unless at or prior to the annual meeting we have received notice of such revocation.
     At least ten (10) days before the annual meeting, we will make a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting. The list will be open for inspection during ordinary business hours at our offices located at Nine Entin Road, Parsippany, New Jersey 07054, and will also be made available to stockholders present at the meeting.

PROPOSAL I: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
     Ten directors are proposed to be elected at the annual meeting. If elected, each director will hold office until the next annual meeting of our stockholders or until his successor is elected and qualified. The election of directors will be decided by a plurality vote.
     The ten nominees for election as directors to serve until our next annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified are Christopher Ho, Adrian Ma, Greenfield Pitts, Michael A.B. Binney, Eduard Will, W. Michael Driscoll, Mirzan Mahathir, David R. Peterson, Kareem E. Sethi and Norbert R. Wirsching. Seven of the nominees named in this proxy statement are members of our current Board of Directors. All nominees have consented to serve if elected and we have no reason to believe that any of the nominees named will be unable to serve. If any nominee becomes unable to serve, (i) the shares represented by the designated proxies will be voted for the election of a substitute as our Board of Directors may recommend, (ii) our Board of Directors may reduce the number of directors eliminate the vacancy or (iii) our Board of Directors may fill the vacancy at a later date after selecting an appropriate nominee.
     The current Board of Directors nominated the individuals named below for election to our Board of Directors, and background information on each of the nominees is set forth below See “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” for additional information about the nominees, including their ownership of securities issued by Emerson.

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 November 9, 2007.

     During the period from the beginning of Fiscal 2007 until July 2006, the Board of Directors had three standing committees, the Audit Committee, the Compensation and Personnel Committee and the Nominating Committee. As of November 9, 2007, Grande Holdings beneficially owned an aggregate of 15,634,482 shares of our common stock, which represents approximately 57.6% of the shares of common stock currently outstanding. Accordingly, Emerson is a “controlled company,” as such term is defined in Section 801(a) of The American Stock Exchange Company Guide (the “Company Guide”). As a “controlled company,” Emerson is not required to comply with Sections 802(a), 804 or 805 of the Company Guide relating to independent directors, Board nominations and executive compensation, respectively.
     Under Section 802(a) of the Company Guide, we are exempt from the requirement that at least a majority of the directors on our Board of Directors be independent directors as defined in Section 121A of the Company Guide because we are a “controlled company,” as such term is defined in Section 801(a) of the Company Guide, and we do not maintain a board of directors comprised of a majority of independent directors that meet the definition of independence as set forth in the American Stock Exchange and SEC rules. Four of our nine current directors meet the definition of independence as established by the American Stock Exchange and SEC rules, and we expect that immediately following our annual meeting, three of our ten directors will meet such definition. As a result of its status as a “controlled company,” since July 2006, the Board of Directors has had only one standing committee, the Audit Committee. The functions of the Compensation and Personnel Committee and the Nominating Committee during the period from the beginning of Fiscal 2007 until July 2006, and the functions of the Audit Committee during Fiscal 2007 are described below. No member of any of any of such committees was an employee of Emerson while serving on such committee.
     The Board of Directors is responsible for the management and direction of Emerson and for establishing broad corporate policies. It has initiated actions consistent with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the American Stock Exchange. The Board of Directors has determined that from the beginning of Fiscal 2007 through July 26, 2006, Messrs. Bünger, Driscoll, Farnum, Pitts and Will satisfied the independence standards of the American Stock Exchange and the SEC’s Rule 10A-3. The Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Bünger, Driscoll, Farnum, Sethi and Wirsching currently satisfy all such definitions of independence. The Board of Directors has also determined that during the period from the beginning of Fiscal 2007 through July 26, 2006, Eduard Will constituted our “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined by the

10


 

SEC. As a result of the appointment of Mr. Will as our President-North American Operations in July 2006, the Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Driscoll currently constitutes our “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined by the SEC. Emerson has a policy of encouraging, but not requiring, its Board members to attend annual meetings of stockholders. Last year, each of our directors, at such time, attended the annual meeting of stockholders.
      Audit Committee. Our Audit Committee, which is a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act, is presently comprised of Messrs. Driscoll (Chairman), Farnum and Wirsching. Since Mr. Farnum is not standing for reelection at our annual meeting, we expect that following our annual meeting, the Board will appoint Kareem E. Sethi to fill the vacancy created thereby. The Audit Committee is empowered by the Board of Directors to, among other things: (i) serve as an independent and objective party to monitor our financial reporting process, internal control system and disclosure control system; (ii) review and appraise the audit efforts of our 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 our management regarding financial reporting issues; and (iv) provide the opportunity for direct communication among the independent accountants, financial and senior management and the Board of Directors. During Fiscal 2007, the Audit Committee performed its duties under a written charter approved by the Board of Directors and formally met ten times. A copy of our Audit Committee Charter is posted on our website: www.emersonradio.com on the Investor Relations page.
Report of the Audit Committee
     This report shall not be deemed “soliciting material” or incorporated by reference in any filing by us under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under either act.
     Through July 2006, the Audit Committee was comprised of Messrs. Will (Chairman), Farnum and Driscoll. Following Mr. Will’s appointment as our President-North American Operations in July 2006, Mr. Will resigned as Chairman and a member of the Audit Committee, and the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Driscoll as Chairman of the Audit Committee and appointed Mr. Greenfield Pitts as member of the Audit Committee. Following Mr. Pitts’ resignation as member of the Audit Committee in October 2006, the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Wirsching to the Audit Committee. All members of the Audit Committee have been determined to be independent as defined by the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange.
     In this context, the Audit Committee has reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements and has met and held discussions with management and Moore Stephens, P.C., Emerson’s independent registered accounting firm. Management has represented to the Audit Committee that Emerson’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Emerson’s independent auditors are responsible for performing an independent audit of Emerson’s financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States and for issuing a report on those financial statements. The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring and overseeing these processes. The Audit

11


 

Committee also discussed with the independent auditors matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, which includes, among other items, matters related to the conduct of the audit of Emerson’s financial statements:
    methods to account for significant unusual transactions;
 
    the effect of significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus;
 
    the process used by management in formulating particularly sensitive accounting estimates and the basis for the auditors’ conclusions regarding the reasonableness of those estimates; and
 
    disagreements, if any, with management over the application of accounting principles, the basis for management’s accounting estimates and the disclosures in the financial statements (there were no such disagreements).
     The independent auditors also provided the Audit Committee with written disclosures and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, which relates to the auditors’ independence, and the Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditors their independence. This standard further requires the auditors to disclose annually in writing all relationships that, in the auditors’ professional opinion, may reasonably be thought to bear on their independence, confirm their perceived independence and engage in the discussion of independence.
     Based on the Audit Committee’s discussions with management and the independent registered accounting firm, as well as the Audit Committee’s review of the representations of management and the report of the independent auditors to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommendedto the Board of Directors that Emerson’s audited consolidated financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
     The Audit Committee has selected Moore Stephens, P.C. to be retained as Emerson’s independent registered accounting firm to conduct the annual audit and to report on, as may be required, the consolidated financial statements that may be filed by Emerson with the SEC during the ensuing year.

     Compensation and Personnel Committee. The Compensation and Personnel Committee was comprised of Messrs. Bünger and Farnum and (i) made recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning remuneration arrangements for senior executive management; (ii) administered our stock option plans and (iii) made such reports and recommendations, from time to time, to the Board of Directors upon such matters as the Compensation and Personnel Committee may deem appropriate or as may be requested by the Board of Directors. The Compensation and Personnel Committee did not formally meet during Fiscal 2007. Under Section 805 of the Company Guide, we are exempt from the requirement to have the compensation of our executives determined by a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors or by a majority of the board’s independent directors because we are a “controlled company,” as such term is defined in Section 801(a) of the Company Guide. As a result, in July 2006, we disbanded the Compensation and Personnel Committee.
      Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee was comprised of Messrs. Bünger and Farnum and was empowered by the Board of Directors to, among other functions: (i) recommend to the Board of Directors qualified individuals to serve on our Board of Directors and (ii) identify the manner in which the Nominating Committee evaluates nominees recommended for the Board of Directors. Our Nominating Committee did not formally meet during Fiscal 2007. Under Section 804 of the Company Guide, we are exempt from the requirement to have director nominees selected by a nominating committee comprised entirely of independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors because we are a “controlled company,” as such term is defined in Section 801(a) of the Company Guide. As a result, in July 2006, we disbanded the Nominating Committee and the full Board of Directors will participate in the consideration of director nominees in the future.
     Procedures for Considering Nominations Made by Stockholders. Nominations for election to the Board of Directors may be made by our Board of Directors or by any stockholder of any outstanding class of our capital stock entitled to vote for the election of directors. The following procedures shall be utilized in considering any candidate for election to the Board of Directors at an annual meeting, other than candidates who have previously served on the Board of Directors or who are recommended by the Board of Directors. A nomination must be delivered to our Secretary at our principal executive offices not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day nor earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary date, notice to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by us. The public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting will not commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a notice as described above. A nomination notice must set forth as to each person whom the proponent proposes to nominate for election as a director: (a) all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including

13


 

such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected) and (b) information that will enable our Board of Directors to determine whether the candidate satisfies the minimum criteria and any additional criteria established by our Board of Directors.
     Qualifications. Our Board of Directors has adopted guidelines describing the minimum qualifications for nominees and the qualities or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. Each nominee (i) must satisfy any legal requirements applicable to members of the Board of Directors; (ii) must have business, professional or other experience that will enable such nominee to provide useful input to the Board of Directors in its deliberations; and (iii) must have knowledge of the types of responsibilities expected of members of the board of directors of a public company.
     Identification and Evaluation of Candidates for the Board. Candidates to serve on the Board of Directors will be identified from all available sources, including recommendations made by stockholders, members of our management and members of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has a policy that there will be no differences in the manner in which our Board of Directors evaluates nominees recommended by stockholders and nominees recommended by it or management, except that no specific process shall be mandated with respect to the nomination of any individuals who have previously served on the Board of Directors. The evaluation process for individuals other than existing members of the Board of Directors will include a review of the information provided to the Board of Directors by the proponent and a review of such other information as the Board of Directors shall determine to be relevant.
     Third Party Recommendations. In connection with the Annual Meeting, the Board of Directors did not receive any nominations from any stockholder or group of stockholders which owned more than 5% of our common stock for at least one year.
Process for Sending Communications to the Board of Directors
     The Board of Directors has established a procedure that enables stockholders to communicate in writing with members of the Board of Directors. Any such communication should be addressed to the Company’s Secretary and should be sent to such individual at c/o Emerson Radio Corp., Nine Entin Road, Parsippany, New Jersey 07054. Any such communication must state, in a conspicuous manner, that it is intended for distribution to the entire Board of Directors. Under the procedures established by the Board of Directors, upon the Secretary’s receipt of such a communication, the Company’s Secretary will send a copy of such communication to each member of the Board of Directors, identifying it as a communication received from a stockholder. Absent unusual circumstances, at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors held more than two days after such communication has been distributed, the Board of Directors will consider the substance of any such communication.
Codes of Ethics
     We have adopted a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers (“Code of Ethics”) that applies to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer,

14


 

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.
     We have 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 our policies and procedures. Overall, the purpose of our 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 we file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by us; (iii) compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; (iv) prompt internal reporting of code violations to an appropriate person or persons identified in this 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 our website: www.emersonradio.com on the Investor Relations page. If we make 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, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on our website or in a current report on Form 8-K.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Introduction
     This discussion presents the principles underlying our executive officer compensation program. Our goal in this discussion is to provide the reasons why we award compensation as we do and to place in perspective the data presented in the tables that follow this discussion. The focus is primarily on compensation of our executive compensation for Fiscal 2007, but some historical and forward-looking information is also provided to put such year’s compensation information in context. The information presented herein relates to Christopher Ho, our Chairman, Adrian Ma, our Chief Executive Officer, Greenfield Pitts, our Chief Financial Officer and our three other most highly compensated executive officers, who are sometimes referred to in this proxy statement as our “named executive officers.” Messrs. Ho, Ma and Binney, however, did not receive any salary or other compensation from us in Fiscal 2007.
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
     We attempt to apply a consistent philosophy to compensation for all employees, including senior management. This philosophy is based on the premises that our success is dependent upon the efforts of each employee and that a cooperative, team-oriented environment is an essential part of our culture.

17


 

     Our compensation programs for our named executive officers are designed to achieve a variety of goals, including:
    attracting and retaining talented and experienced executives;
 
    motivating and rewarding executives whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to our success;
 
    aligning the interests of our executives and stockholders by motivating executives to increase stockholder value in a sustained manner; and
 
    provide a competitive compensation package which rewards achievement of our goals.
Elements of Executive Officer Compensation
     Overview. Total compensation paid to our executive officers is influenced significantly by the need to attract and retain management employees with a high level of expertise and to motivate and retain key executives for our long-term success. Some of the components of compensation, such as salary, are generally fixed and do not vary based on our financial and other performance. Some components, such as bonus, stock options and stock award grants, are discretionary and are dependent upon the achievement of certain goals jointly agreed upon by our management and our Board of Directors. Furthermore, the value of certain of these components, such as stock options and stock awards, is dependent upon our future stock price. Our Board of Directors has indicated that it does not currently intend to grant new stock awards to our executive officer and employees. However, the Board of Directors does intend to grant stock awards to non-employee directors and may in the future change its current policy with respect to stock awards to executive officers and employees.
     We compensate our executive officers in these different ways in order to achieve different goals. Cash compensation, for example, provides executive officers a minimum base salary. Incentive bonus compensation is generally linked to the achievement of financial and business goals, and is intended to reward executive officers for our overall performance in reaching annual goals that would be agreed to by management and the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the bonus paid to Eduard Will, our former President — North American Operations and current Vice Chairman, in Fiscal 2007 was approved by our Chairman of the Board. Although we may utilize, stock options and grants of restricted stock in the future, we did not grant any stock options or restricted stock during Fiscal 2007 to any of our executive officers; provided, however, that Messrs. Pitts and Will did receive stock options during Fiscal 2007 in their capacities as non-employee directors prior to being named as executive officers. See “—Cash and Other Compensation.”
     We view the three components of our executive officer compensation as related but distinct. We do not believe that compensation derived from one component of compensation necessarily should negate or reduce compensation from other components. We determine the appropriate level for each compensation component based in part, but not exclusively, on its historical practices with the individual and our view of individual performance and other information we deem relevant. Our Board of Directors has not engaged an outside consultant to

18


 

assist the Board in the compensation process. Our management does review publicly available data with respect to executive compensation at peer group companies. The Board of Directors realizes that benchmarking our compensation against the compensation earned at comparable companies may not always be appropriate, but believes that engaging in a comparative analysis of compensation practices is useful. The Board of Directors has not adopted any formal policies or guidelines for allocating compensation between long-term and currently paid out compensation, between cash and non-cash compensation, or among different forms of compensation. We have not reviewed wealth and retirement accumulation as a result of employment with us, and have only focused on compensation for the year in question.
     Base Salary. We pay our executive officers other than Messrs. Ho, Ma and Binney, a base salary, which we review and determine annually. We believe that a competitive base salary is a necessary element of any compensation program. We believe that attractive base salaries can motivate and reward executives for their overall performance. Base salaries are established in part based on the individual position, responsibility, experience, skills and expected contributions during the coming year of the executive and their performance during the prior year. We also have sought to align base compensation levels comparable to our competitors and other companies in similar stages of development. We do not view base salaries as primarily serving our objective of paying for performance, but in attracting and retaining the most qualified executives necessary to run our business.
     Cash Incentive Bonuses. Consistent with our emphasis on pay-for-performance incentive compensation programs, our executives are eligible to receive annual performance bonuses or discretionary bonuses that must be approved by our Board of Directors; provided, however, that the bonus paid to Eduard Will, our former President — North American Operations and current Vice Chairman, in Fiscal 2007 was approved by our Chairman of the Board. The primary objective of our annual cash incentive bonuses is to motivate and reward our employees, including our named executive officers, for meeting our short-term objectives using a pay-for-performance program with objectively determinable performance goals. For Fiscal 2007, none of our named executive officers, except for Mr. Will, our former President-North American Operations and current Vice Chairman, received a cash bonus. We do not have a formal policy on the effect on bonuses of a subsequent restatement or other adjustment to the financial statements, other than the penalties provided by law.
     Equity Compensation. We review our equity compensation plans annually. Under our plans, employees are eligible for annual stock option and restricted stock award grants based on targeted levels and we have in the past granted stock options to our executive officers and employees. These options and grants are intended to produce value for each executive officer if (i) our stockholders derive significant sustained value; and (ii) the executive officer remains with us. We do not have any program, plan or obligation that requires us to grant equity compensation to any executive officer on specified dates. The authority to make equity grants to executive officers rests with the Board of Directors, although, as noted above, the Board of Directors does not currently intend to grant any new stock awards to our executive officers or employees. We did not grant any stock options or restricted stock awards during Fiscal 2007; provided, however, that Messrs. Pitts and Will did receive stock options during Fiscal 2007 in their capacities as non-employee directors prior to being named as executive officers. See “—Cash and Other Compensation.”

19


 

Severance and Change-in-Control Benefits.
     We do not provide to any of our executive officers any severance or change in control benefits in the event of termination or retirement, whether following a change-in-control or otherwise.
Employment Agreements.
     During Fiscal 2007, we had employment agreements with certain of our executive officers, each of which is described below.
     John J. Raab, who served as our Chief Operating Officer and Senior Executive Vice President from 1995 until August 2007, entered into a three-year employment agreement with us, effective September 1, 2001, which provided for an annual base salary of $250,000, which was increased to $257,500, effective April 1, 2002, and $275,000, effective April 1, 2003. By letter agreement, effective as of September 1, 2004, the term of the areement was extended through and including August 31, 2007 and Mr. Raab’s annual compensation was increased to $286,000, effective April 1, 2005. In addition to his base salary, Mr. Raab was entitled to receive an additional annual performance bonus, subject to the final approval of our Board of Directors. If Mr. Raab were to have been terminated due to permanent disability, without cause or as a result of constructive discharge, the estimated dollar amount payable after March 31, 2007, to Mr. Raab, based on the terms of his contract, would have been $119,117. Mr. Raab’s contract was not extended and expired on August 31, 2007, at which time Mr. Raab retired as our Chief Operating Officer and Senior Executive Vice President.
     Eduard Will, who has served as our Vice Chairman since October 2007 and our President — North American Operations from July 2006 until October 2007, entered into an employment agreement with us on July 27, 2006, which provides for an annual base salary of $250,000, which was increased to $300,000, effective as of March 30, 2007. In addition to his base salary, Mr. Will may receive an additional annual performance bonus recommended by the Board of Directors. The initial term of the agreement expired on June 30, 2007. Following the end of the initial term of the agreement (June 30, 2007), we have the right to terminate the agreement upon 90 days prior written notice and Mr. Will has the right to terminate the agreement upon 30 days prior written notice. In addition, during the initial term, Mr. Will had the right to terminate the agreement upon 90 days prior written notice. We are currently preparing an amendment to the agreement to reflect Mr. Will’s change in title and duties as Vice Chairman.
     Greenfield Pitts, our Chief Financial Officer, entered into an employment agreement with us on April 3, 2007, which provides that Mr. Pitts shall serve as our Chief Financial Officer through March 31, 2008. Following the end of the initial term of the agreement (March 31, 2008), we have the right to terminate the agreement upon 90 days prior written notice and Mr. Pitts has the right to terminate the agreement upon 30 days prior written notice. In addition, during the initial term, Mr. Pitts has the right to terminate the agreement upon 90 days prior written notice. The agreement provides for an annual base salary of $250,000. In addition to his base salary, Mr. Pitts may receive a discretionary bonus at the end of our fiscal year recommended by the Board of Directors.

20


 

     In October 2007, we entered into an employment agreement with John Spielberger, our President-North American Operations, which provides that Mr. Spielberger shall serve as our President-North American Operations from October 29, 2007 through October 31, 2008. Following the end of the initial term of the agreement (October 31, 2008), we have the right to terminate the agreement upon 90 days prior written notice and Mr. Spielberger has the right to terminate the agreement upon 30 days prior written notice. In addition, during the initial term, Mr. Spielberger has the right to terminate the agreement upon 90 days prior written notice. The agreement provides for annual compensation of $250,000. In addition to his base salary, Mr. Spielberger may receive a discretionary bonus at the end of our fiscal year recommended by the Board of Directors.
     Benefits. The executive officers participate in all of our employee benefit plans, such as medical and 401(k) plan, on the same basis as our other employees.
     Perquisites. Our use of perquisites as an element of compensation is very limited. We do not view perquisites as a significant element of our comprehensive compensation structure.
The Process
     Employment terms, including compensation, are typically proposed to the Board of Directors by our Chairman and our Chief Executive Officer, and then considered and approved by the Board of Directors. For compensation decisions, including decisions regarding the grant of bonuses relating to executive officers (other than our Chairman and our Chief Executive Officer), the Board of Directors considers the recommendations of our Chairman and our Chief Executive Officer and includes them in their discussions, although no executive employees was granted a bonus in Fiscal 2007; provided, however, that the bonus paid to Eduard Will, our former President — North American Operations and current Vice Chairman, in Fiscal 2007 was approved by our Chairman of the Board.
Regulatory Considerations
     We account for the equity compensation expense for our employees under the rules of SFAS 123(R), which requires us to estimate and record an expense for each award of equity compensation over the service period of the award. Accounting rules also require us to record cash compensation as an expense at the time the obligation is accrued.

Outside Directors are each paid an annual director’s fee of $45,000. During Fiscal 2007, members of the Audit Committee were each paid an additional fee of $5,000 per annum, and as of the date of our annual meeting, will each be paid an additional fee of $10,000 per annum. The Chairman of the Audit Committee is paid an additional fee of $5,000 per annum. All directors’ fees are paid in four equal quarterly installments per annum. Directors who are our employees were not paid for their services as a director while an employee of ours during Fiscal 2007. Additionally, each director, who is not an employee, is eligible to participate in our 2004 Non-Employee Outside Director Stock Option Plan. Directors of Emerson are reimbursed their expenses for attendance at meetings. Further, we offer to provide health care insurance to each of our directors who is not an employee.
     In Fiscal 2007, Messrs. Driscoll, Farnum, Pitts, Will and Wirsching were granted stock options, pursuant to the 2004 Non-Employee Outside Director Stock Option Plan, to purchase 50,000, 25,000, 25,000, 25,000 and 25,000 shares of our common stock, respectively, at an exercise price of $3.19 per share. These options vest in equal installments over three years, commencing one year from the date of grant, and their exercise is contingent upon continued service as a member of our Board of Directors.

Such fees are included in the Director Compensation table below. The special committee was disbanded in January 2007 after we were advised by The Grande (Nominees) Limited that it determined not to pursue, at such time, its proposal.
     In addition, our Board of Directors has agreed to pay Messrs. Driscoll, Farnum and Wirsching fees of $20,000 each for their services through December 31, 2007 in connection with the Audit Committee’s continuing independent review of certain related party transactions entered into by us, including our subsidiaries, with affiliates of Grande Holdings from December 2005 to the present, and internal controls related to such transactions.

Change in Control
     As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 5, 2006, a change in control of Emerson occurred on August 29, 2006, upon the acquisition (the “Share Acquisition”) by The Grande Group Limited, a Singapore corporation (“GGL”), of 13,700 shares (the “Shares”) of our common stock. As a result of the Share Acquisition, as of August 29, 2006, Grande Holdings, may be deemed to have beneficially owned an aggregate of 13,537,500 shares of common stock, which represented approximately 50.02% of the shares of common stock outstanding as of such date. As of November 9, 2007, Grande Holdings, may be deemed to have beneficially owned an aggregate of 15,634,482 shares of common stock, which represented approximately 57.6% of the shares of common stock outstanding as of such date.
     The Share Acquisition is one of a series of acquisitions of shares of our common stock by GGL and S&T International Disribution Ltd., a British Virgin Islands corporation (“S&T”), since December 5, 2005. Grande Holdings is (i) the sole parent of GGL and (ii) the sole parent of Grande N.A.K.S. Ltd (“N.A.K.S.”), a British Virgin Islands corporation and sole parent of S&T.
     On December 5, 2005, pursuant to an Agreement for the Sale and Purchase of Certain Shares in Emerson (the “Acquisition Agreement”), between Mr. Guttfried Ludwig Prentice Jurick, the former President and a former director of the Company, and S&T, S&T purchased from Mr. Jurick 10,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “S&T Shares”) in exchange for $26

28


 

million in cash and a convertible debenture issued by Grande Holdings with a face value of $26 million. The source of the funds that S&T used to pay the cash component of the purchase price was (i) Grande Holdings’ working capital/cash on hand and (ii) a term loan facility provided by ABN AMRO Bank N.V. (“ABN AMRO”), Hong Kong Branch in the amount of $26 million, under a facility agreement entered into by S&T, Grande Holdings and ABN AMRO, Hong Kong Branch. Grande Holdings guaranteed all of S&T’s obligations under the facility agreement. As additional security for its obligations, S&T (i) pledged and granted to ABN AMRO a security interest in the S&T Shares and (ii) assigned to ABN AMRO, by way of fixed security with first-ranking priority, enforceable upon an event of default, all of its rights under the Acquisition Agreement.
     From December 6, 2005 through August 28, 2006, Grande Holdings acquired an aggregate of 3,352,800 shares of our common stock (collectively, the “Additional Shares” and together with the Recent Shares, the “GGL Shares”), through open market purchases or privately-negotiated transactions. The total purchase price for the Additional Shares was approximately $11,494,275. The source of funds for the Additional Shares was the working capital of Grande Holdings.
     On August 29, 2006, GGL acquired the Shares through an open market purchase. The total purchase price for the Shares was approximately $41,957. The source of funds for the Shares was working capital of Grande Holdings.
     Since August 29, 2006, GGL transferred all of its shares of our common stock to S&T and S&T acquired an additional 2,096,982 shares of our common stock.
     S&T has the direct power to vote and direct the disposition of the S&T Shares. GGL has the direct power to vote and direct the disposition of the GGL Shares. As the sole parent of S&T, N.A.K.S. has the indirect power to vote and dispose of the S&T Shares held for the account of S&T. As the sole parent of N.A.K.S. and the sole parent of GGL, Grande Holdings has the indirect power to vote and dispose of the S&T Shares and the GGL Shares (collectively, the “Shares”) held for the account of S&T and GGL. As the owner of approximately 64% of the share capital of Grande Holdings, Barrican Investments Corporation (“Barrican”) has the indirect power to vote and dispose of the Shares held for the account of S&T and GGL. As the sole parent of Barrican, The Grande International Holdings Ltd (“Grande International”) has the indirect power to vote and dispose of the Shares held for the account of S&T and GGL. As the sole owner of Grande International, the Ho Family Trust has the indirect power to vote and dispose of the Shares held for the account of S&T and GGL. As the sole beneficiary of the Ho Family Trust, Christopher Ho Wing On has the indirect power to vote and dispose of the Shares held for the account of S&T and GGL. In such capacities, Grande Holdings, N.A.K.S. and Mr. Ho may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of the Shares held for the account of S&T and GGL.
     The information regarding the acquisition of the Shares and the beneficial holders of the Shares was derived from (i) the Statement on Schedule 13D, dated December 12, 2005, filed on behalf of S&T, N.A.K.S., Grande Holdings and Mr. Ho with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as amended, (ii) the Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities on

29


 

Form 3, dated December 5, 2005, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on behalf of S&T, N.A.K.S., Grande Holdings, Grande International, Barrican, the Ho Family Trust and Mr. Ho and (iii) the Statements of Changes in Beneficial Ownership of Securities on Form 4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on behalf of Grande Holdings, Grande International, Barrican, the Ho Family Trust and Mr. Ho from time to time since December 5, 2005.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
     On December 5, 2005, Grande Holdings purchased approximately 37% (10,000,000 shares) of our outstanding common stock from our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Geoffrey P. Jurick. Since the initial purchase of common stock, Grande Holdings has increased its holdings of our common stock through open market and private purchases to approximately 57.6% of our outstanding common shares, as of November 9, 2007. On September 21, 2007, Grande Holdings acquired 1,853,882 shares pursuant to a stock purchase agreement with a stockholder who was formerly a beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding common shares.
     In December 2005, Emerson sold to Sansui Electronics (UK), an affiliate of Grande (“Sansui”), the Company’s controlling stockholder, aging inventory then located in a warehouse in the United Kingdom. The purchase price was approximately $900,000 and represented the estimated net realizable value (after write downs) of the inventory. After further market price declines Sansui sold the inventory in 2006 and remitted payment owed to Emerson in the amount of $454,822.
     In the quarter ended December 31, 2006, Emerson recorded $33.1 million of net revenues and $50,000 of operating profit as a consequence of its participation in a “Black Friday” promotion of 42” plasma television sets by a major retailer. In this transaction, Emerson played several different roles. It assisted in the manufacturing of the product by providing financial assistance to the manufacturer of the television sets, Capetronic Display Limited (“Capetronic”), a subsidiary of Grande. This working capital support, which was provided on an unsecured basis, included (i) the deposit with Capetronic of approximately $6.7 million in order to assist Capetronic in purchases from its parts suppliers, (ii) the opening of approximately $22.1 million of letters of credit under its credit line with Wachovia Bank, for the benefit of Capetronic, which enabled Capetronic to purchase additional parts from its suppliers and (iii) the borrowing of monies under its credit line when the letters of credit were drawn down upon the delivery of the parts to Capetronic. In addition, Emerson purchased the television sets from Capetronic and resold them to a distributor. All amounts owed by Capetronic to Emerson relating to this transaction have been paid in full.
     In October 2006, Emerson entered into an agreement with a consumer electronics distributor (the “Licensee”), pursuant to which, among other things, Emerson agreed to grant the Licensee a license to distribute and sell LCD televisions (“LCD sets”) in North America under Emerson’s “H.H. Scott” brand name. The licensee has a distributor relationship with Grande Holdings. In the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006, the Licensee began selling 32” and 37” LCD sets to a major United States based retailer. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement with the licensee, Emerson was paid a royalty of $110,000 as a result of such sales through March 31,

30


 

2007. No sales of LCD televisions pursuant to this agreement occurred and no royalty was paid to Emerson under this agreement during the six month period ended September 30, 2007.
     During the third quarter of Fiscal 2007, Emerson provided unsecured financial assistance to Capetronic, Nakamichi Corporation (“Nakamichi”), Akai Electric (China) Co. Ltd. (“Akai”), and Sansui, each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grande Holdings, in the form of letters of credit and loans which aggregated approximately $22.0 million at December 31, 2006. In reviewing the documentation for certain of the letters of credit referred to above, Emerson determined that some of the parts for which letters of credit were opened were to be used for the manufacture of 27” and 42” television sets to be sold to the Licensee by Akai. Emerson had no direct or indirect interest in such sales, and Capetronic paid Emerson $57,000 as a fee for facilitating such transaction. As a result of such transaction, Emerson may have been deemed to be in breach of certain covenants contained in Emerson’s credit facility. The lender under the credit facility agreed to waive such breaches and Emerson and the lender negotiated an amendment to the credit facility. Emerson was required to pay $125,000 to the lender in connection with the amendment. Emerson has charged this amount back to Capetronic and $125,000 was paid to one of Emerson’s foreign subsidiaries on August 14, 2007 by Capetronic.
     On February 21, 2007, Capetronic, Nakamichi, Akai, and Sansui (collectively, the “Borrowers”), each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grande Holdings, jointly and severally, issued a promissory note (the “Note”) in favor of the Company in the principal amount of $23,501,514. The principal amount of the Note represented the outstanding amount owed to the Company as of February 21, 2007, as a result of certain related party transactions entered into between the Company and the Borrowers described above, including interest that had accrued from the date of such related party transactions until the date of the Note. Simultaneously with the execution of the Note, Grande Holdings executed a guaranty (the “Guaranty”) in favor of the Company pursuant to which Grande Holdings guaranteed payment of all of the obligations of the Borrowers under the Note in accordance with the terms thereof.
     Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Note accrued at a rate of 8.25% per annum, commencing on February 21, 2007, until all obligations under the Note were paid in full, subject to an automatic increase of 2% per annum in the event of default under the Note in accordance with the terms thereof. Payments of principal and interest under the Note were to be made in nine installments from April 1, 2007 through June 3, 2007 in such amounts and on such dates as set forth in the Note, with all amounts of interest due under the Note scheduled to be paid with the final installment. As of June 3, 2007, all amounts due under the Note have been repaid.
     Since August 2006, Emerson has been providing to Sansui Sales PTE Ltd (“Sansui Sales”) and Akai Sales PTE Ltd (“Akai Sales”), both of which are subsidiaries of Grande Holdings, assistance with acquiring their product. Emerson issues purchase orders to third-party suppliers who manufacture this product, and Emerson issues sales invoices to Sansui Sales’ and Akai Sales’ at gross amounts for this product. Financing for this product is provided by Sansui Sales’ and Akai Sales’ customers in the form of transfer letters of credit to the suppliers, and goods are shipped directly from the suppliers to Sansui Sales’ and Akai Sales’ customers. Emerson recorded income totaling $95,000 for providing this service in the six months ended September 30, 2007. As of September 30, 2007, Akai Sales and Sansui Sales collectively owed Emerson $398,000 as a result of these transactions.

     In January 2006, we entered into an agreement with Grande Holdings pursuant to which we rent office space in Hong Kong and receive related office services from Grande Holding. The agreement expires in December 31, 2008, unless terminated earlier by either party upon three months prior written notice of termination by either party. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, we incurred expenses to Grande Holdings of approximately $429,000. For the six month period ended September 30, 2007, we incurred expenses to Grande Holdings of approximately $193,000, including rent expense of approximately $78,000 and related office services expense of approximately $115,000.
     In May 2007, Emerson paid a $10,000 commission to Vigers Hong Kong Ltd (“Vigers”), a property agent and a subsidiary of Grande Holdings, related to the sale of a building owned by Emerson to an unaffiliated buyer for approximately $2,000,000. Upon the closing of the sale in September 2007, Emerson paid an additional $10,000 commission to Vigers.
     In June 2007 Emerson paid a one-time sales commission in the amount of $14,000 to an Executive Director of Grande Holdings, who is also Emerson’s President-International Sales and also a Director of Emerson. The commission was 50% of the net margin on a sale by Emerson to an unaffiliated customer.
     In May 2007, we entered into an agreement with Goldmen Electronic Co. Ltd. (“Goldmen”), pursuant to which we agreed to pay $1,682,220 in exchange for Goldmen’s manufacture and delivery to us of musical instruments in order for us to meet our delivery requirements of these instruments in the first week of September 2007. In July 2007, we learned that Goldmen had filed for bankruptcy and was unable to manufacture the musical instruments we had ordered. Promptly after we learned of Goldmen’s bankruptcy, Capetronic agreed to manufacture the musical instruments on substantially the same terms and conditions, including the price, as Goldmen had agreed to manufacture them. On July 12, 2007, we paid Tomei Shoji Limited, an affiliate of Grande Holdings, $125,000 to acquire from Goldmen and deliver to Capetronic the molds and equipment necessary for Capetronic to manufacture the musical instruments. On or about July 16, 2007, we made two upfront payments totaling $546,000 to Capetronic. On July 20, 2007, Capetronic advised us that it was unable to manufacture the musical instruments for us because it did not have the requisite governmental licenses to do so. Capetronic currently physically possesses the musical instrument molds owned by Emerson and owes Emerson $546,000 for the upfront advances made in anticipation of Capetronic’s manufacture of the instruments. In accordance with a Board resolution in February 2007 requiring review of related party transactions in excess of $500,000, the management Related Party Transaction Committee reviewed and approved this transaction. The transaction was also approved by the Audit Committee in July 2007.
     In June 2007, Emerson and Capetronic entered into an agreement pursuant to which Emerson has agreed to provide freight forwarding services to Capetronic. Pursuant to the agreement, Emerson has agreed to pay the costs of importation of Capetronic’s inventory on Capetronic’s behalf, arrange for the inventory to be received at a port of entry, cleared through the United States Customs Service using Emerson’s regularly engaged broker, and transfer the inventory to a common carrier as arranged by Capetronic’s customer. Pursuant to the agreement, if Capetronic’s customer fails to make such arrangements with a common carrier, Emerson is

32


 

required to transfer the inventory to Emerson’s warehouse for storage or make other arrangements with a public warehouse. Following the transfer of Capetronic’s inventory, Emerson is required to provide next day delivery of all importation documents and bills of lading to Capetronic’s customer. In consideration for the foregoing, Capetronic has agreed to reimburse Emerson for all costs incurred by Emerson within thirty days of demand by Emerson, after which interest will accrue, and to pay Emerson a service fee of 12% of the importation costs. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, Emerson has billed Capetronic for the reimbursement of importation costs totaling $246,000 and a commission of $29,000. As of September 30, 2007, Capetronics owed $275,000 to Emerson under this agreement.
     The Company’s Audit Committee has received from an independent investigator a report with respect to certain of the related party transactions entered into by the Company, including its subsidiaries, with affiliates of Grande Holdings from December 2005 to the present, and is continuing its independent review into such transactions.
Future Transactions
     We have adopted a policy that all future affiliated transactions will be made or entered into on terms no less favorable to us than those that can be obtained from unaffiliated third parties. In addition, all future affiliated transactions, must be approved by a majority of the independent outside members of our Board of Directors who do not have an interest in the transactions.
Director Independence
     We currently have nine directors, Christopher Ho, Adrian Ma, Greenfield Pitts, Michael A.B. Binney, Eduard Will, Peter G. Bünger, W. Michael Driscoll, Jerome H. Farnum and Norbert R. Wirsching. If all of the director nominees are elected at our annual meeting, immediately following our annual meeting, we will have ten directors, Christopher Ho, Adrian Ma, Greenfield Pitts, Michael A.B. Binney, Eduard Will, W. Michael Driscoll, Mirzan Mahathir, David R. Peterson, Kareem Sethi and Norbert R. Wirsching. Our Board of Directors has determined that each of that Messrs. Bünger, Driscoll, Farnum, Sethi and Wirsching are “independent” as defined under the American Stock Exchange listing standards.

COMPARISON OF CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN
Performance Graph
     The following graph shows a comparison of cumulative total returns on our common stock for the period April 1, 2002 to March 31, 2007, with the cumulative total return over the same period for the American Stock Exchange and a peer group of companies. Companies used for the peer group are Boston Acoustics, Inc., Cobra Electronics Corp., Concord Camera Corp., Koss Corp. and Pioneer Corporation. Boston Acoustics, Inc. merged with D&M Holdings in August 2005, and as a result was only included in the peer group index through 2005. In selecting companies to be part of the peer group, we focus on publicly traded companies that design and/or distribute consumer electronic products that have characteristics similar to ours in terms of one or more of the following: (i) type of product, (ii) distribution channels, (iii) sourcing or (iv) sales volume. The comparison assumes the investment of $100 in our common stock on April 1, 2002, and reinvestment of all dividends. The information in the graph was provided by Hemscott, Inc.

PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF MOORE STEPHENS, P.C.
AS THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED ACCOUNTING FIRM OF EMERSON
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING 2008
     The Audit Committee has appointed Moore Stephens, P.C. as our independent registered accounting firm to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, and has further directed that management submit the selection of an independent registered accounting firm for ratification by our stockholders at the annual meeting. Stockholder ratification of the selection of Moore Stephens, P.C. is not required by our by-laws or otherwise. However, we are submitting the selection of Moore Stephens, P.C. to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain Moore Stephens, P.C. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered accounting firm at any time during the year if it is determined that such a change would be in the best interests of Emerson and its stockholders.
     Representatives of the firm of Moore Stephens, P.C. are expected to be present at our annual meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement, if they so desire, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
     In accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Audit Committee’s charter, all audit and audit-related work and all non-audit work performed by our independent registered accounting firm, Moore Stephens, P.C., is approved in advance by the Audit Committee, including the proposed fees for such work. The Audit Committee is informed of each service actually rendered.
     Ø   Audit Fees. Audit fees billed to us by Moore Stephens for the audit of the financial statements included in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, and reviews by Moore Stephens of the financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and 2007 totaled approximately $233,000 and $344,000, respectively.
     Ø   Audit-Related Fees. We were billed $0 and $2,900 by Moore Stephens for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under the caption Audit Fees above.
     Ø   Tax Fees. Moore Stephens billed us an aggregate of $64,000 and $0, for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, for tax services, principally related to the preparation of income tax returns and related consultation.
     Ø   All Other Fees. We were billed $0 and $0 by Moore Stephens for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, for permitted non-audit services, principally procedures in connection with the audit of our parent company’s consolidated financial statements for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, a portion of which will be credited to our audit fees for the audit of our financial statements for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

35


 

     Applicable law and regulations provide an exemption that permits certain services to be provided by our outside auditors even if they are not pre-approved. We have not relied on this exemption at any time since the Sarbanes-Oxley Act was enacted.
Change in Accountants
     As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 23, 2006, on May 17, 2006, we retained the services of Moore Stephens as our independent registered accounting firm to replace our former independent auditors, BDO Seidman, LLP (“BDO”), who resigned as our independent registered public accounting firm on March 7, 2006. BDO served as our independent registered public accounting firm since March 31, 2004.
     The engagement of Moore Stephens, P.C. and the replacement of BDO was approved by our Board of Directors on the recommendation of our Audit Committee. During our two most recent fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively, and any subsequent interim period to May 17, 2006, we did not consult with Moore Stephens regarding any matters noted in Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K. BDO provided tax services to us during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007 and is expected to continue to provide such services to us.
     There were no “disagreements” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or any events of the type listed in Item 304(a)(1)(v)(A) through (D) of Regulation S-K, involving BDO that occurred within our most recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. BDO’s report on our financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
     During the year ended March 31, 2005 and through March 7, 2006, there had been no disagreements with BDO on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BDO, would have caused BDO to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such periods.

36


 

     During the year ended March 31, 2005 and through March 7, 2006, there had been no reportable events as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v)(A) through (D) of Regulation S-K.
     We provided BDO with a copy of the disclosures made pursuant to the Form 8-K (which disclosures are consistent with the disclosures noted above) and BDO furnished us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating that it agrees with the statements made by us in the Form 8-K filing, a copy of which was filed as an exhibit to the Form 8-K.
Vote Required
     The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting at which a quorum representing a majority of all outstanding shares of our common stock is present and voting, either in person or by proxy, is required for the ratification of our independent registered accountants.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION
OF THE APPOINTMENT OF MOORE STEPHENS, P.C. AS INDEPENDENT
AUDITORS OF EMERSON FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, 2008.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP
REPORTING COMPLIANCE
     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires our directors, officers, and stockholders who beneficially own more than 10% of any class of our equity securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with respect to our equity securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the American Stock Exchange. All reporting persons are required to furnish us with copies of all reports that such reporting persons file with the SEC pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.
