THE SINGING MACHINE COMPANY, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

December 31, 2010

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

OVERVIEW

The Singing Machine Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company," “SMC”, "The Singing Machine", “we” or “us”), and wholly-owned subsidiaries SMC (Comercial Offshore De Macau) Limitada (“Macau Subsidiary”), SMC Logistics, Inc. (“SMC-L”), SMC-Music, Inc.(“SMC-M”), and Singing Machine Holdings Ltd. (a B.V.I. company) are primarily engaged in the development, marketing, and sale of consumer karaoke audio equipment, accessories, musical instruments and musical recordings. The products are sold directly to distributors and retail customers.

The preparation of The Singing Machine's financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the period. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty; therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the Company's financial statements. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions continually. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

NOTE 2-SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Macau Subsidiary, SMC-L, SMC-M and The Singing Machine Holdings Ltd. (a B.V.I. company). All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation for all periods presented.

INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The consolidated financial statements for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations. The consolidated results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The consolidated balance sheet information as of March 31, 2010 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.

USE OF ESTIMATES. The Singing Machine makes estimates and assumptions in the ordinary course of business relating to defective sales returns and allowances, inventory reserves, warranty reserves, and reserves for promotional incentives that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Historically, past changes to these estimates have not had a material impact on the Company's financial condition. However, circumstances could change which may alter future expectations.

COLLECTIBILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. The Singing Machine's allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management's estimates of the creditworthiness of its customers, current economic conditions and historical information, and, in the opinion of management, is believed to be an amount sufficient to respond to normal business conditions. Management sets 100% reserves for customers in bankruptcy and other reserves based upon historical collection experience. Should business conditions deteriorate or any major customer default on its obligations to the Company, this allowance may need to be significantly increased, which would have a negative impact on operations.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FACTORING. The Company’s factoring facility, which was canceled on June 8, 2010, only financed non-recourse accounts receivable. Such receivables were considered to have been sold in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 860-30, Transfers and Servicing Secured Borrowing and Collateral. Accordingly, advances received pursuant to the factoring facility have been netted against the accounts receivable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet for March 31, 2010.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The functional currency of the Macau Subsidiary is the Hong Kong dollar. Such financial statements are translated to U.S. dollars using year-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the year for revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions and translations were not material during the periods presented.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company maintains cash balances in foreign financial institutions. The amounts at December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010 are $41,539 and $734,908, respectively. At times the Company maintains cash in United States bank accounts that are in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured amounts of up to $250,000. As of December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010 the amounts uninsured in United States banks were $1,020,700 and $0, respectively.

INVENTORY

Inventories are comprised of electronic karaoke equipment, accessories, electronic musical instruments, electronic toys and compact discs and are stated at the lower of cost or market, as determined using the first in, first out method. The Singing Machine reduces inventory on hand to its net realizable value on an item-by-item basis when it is apparent that the expected realizable value of an inventory item falls below its original cost. A charge to cost of sales results when the estimated net realizable value of specific inventory items declines below cost. Management regularly reviews the Company's investment in inventories for such declines in value.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from the sale of equipment, accessories, and musical recordings are recognized upon the later of: (a) the time of shipment or (b) when title passes to the customers and all significant contractual obligations have been satisfied and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenues from sales of consigned inventory are recognized upon sale of the product by the consignee. Net sales are comprised of gross sales net of actual and estimated future defective returns, discounts and volume rebates.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company began to apply the provisions FASB ASC 718-20, Compensation – Stock Compensation Awards Classified as Equity (“ASC 718-20”) starting on January 1, 2006. ASC 718-20 requires all share-based payments to employees including grants of employee stock options, be measured at fair value and expensed in the consolidated statement of operations over the service period (generally the vesting period). Upon adoption, the Company transitioned to ASC 718-20 using the modified prospective application, whereby compensation cost is only recognized in the consolidated statements of operations beginning with the first period that ASC 718-20 is effective and thereafter, with prior periods' stock-based compensation still presented on a pro forma basis. Under the modified prospective approach, the provisions of ASC 718-20 are to be applied to new employee awards and to employee awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the required effective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of employee awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered that are outstanding as of the required effective date shall be recognized as the requisite service is rendered on or after the required effective date. The compensation cost for that portion of employee awards shall be based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated for either recognition or pro-forma disclosures under ASC 718-20 The Company continues to use the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value stock options. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010, the stock option expense was $4,760, and $5,500, respectively. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, the stock option expense was $1,032 and $8,971, respectively. Employee stock option compensation expense in fiscal years 2010 and 2009 includes the estimated fair value of options granted, amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire portion of the award.

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the assumptions outlined below. For the quarter ended December 31, 2010, the Company took into consideration guidance under ASC 718-20 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 when reviewing and updating assumptions. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of our stock and other contributing factors. The expected term is based upon observation of actual time elapsed between date of grant and exercise of options for all employees. Previously such assumptions were determined based on historical data. Set forth below are the assumptions used in the periods presented:

For the nine months ended December 31, 2010: expected dividend yield 0%, risk-free interest rate of .22% to 0.41%, volatility 268.4% and 283.9% and expected term of three years.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2009: expected dividend yield 0%, risk-free interest rate of 0.57% to 1.41%, volatility 70.22% and 80.07% and expected term of one year.

ADVERTISING

Costs incurred for producing and publishing advertising of the Company are charged to operations as incurred. The Company has entered into cooperative advertising agreements with its major clients that specifically indicated that the client has to spend the cooperative advertising fund upon the occurrence of mutually agreed events. The percentage of the cooperative advertising allowance ranges from 2% to 5% of the clients’ inventory purchases. The clients have to advertise the Company's products in the client's catalog, local newspaper and other advertising media. The client must submit the proof of the performance (such as a copy of the advertising showing the Company’s products) to the Company to request for the allowance. The client does not have the ability to spend the allowance at their discretion. The Company believes that the identifiable benefit from the cooperative advertising program and the fair value of the advertising benefit is equal or greater than the cooperative advertising expense. Advertising expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $715,714 and $735,094, respectively.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

All research and development costs are charged to results of operations as incurred. These expenses are shown as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. For the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, these amounts totaled $47,537 and $45,146, respectively.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We have adopted FASB ASC 825, which requires disclosures of information about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. For purposes of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.

The carrying amounts of the Company's short-term financial instruments, including accounts receivable, due from factors, accounts payable, customer credits on account, accrued expenses and loans payable to related parties approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses - In July 2010, FASB issued a new pronouncement that requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature of credit risk in an entity’s portfolio of financing receivables. These changes include disclosures on how credit risk is analyzed, and the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. We have determined that since our accounts receivable are all short term and measured at the lower of cost or fair value, they are exempt from these new disclosure requirements and do not have any effect on our financial statements.

NOTE 3- INCOME TAXES

The Company follows FASB ASC 740 10-25, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which defines a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurements of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As of December 31, 2010 this position did not result in any adjustment to the Company’s provision for income taxes.

As of December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010, The Singing Machine had gross deferred tax assets of approximately $4.0 million and $4.0 million, respectively, against which the Company recorded valuation allowances totaling approximately $4.0 million and $4.0 million, respectively.

As of December 31, 2010 the Company is subject to U.S. Federal income tax examinations for the tax years ended March 31, 2007 through March 31, 2010.

NOTE 4- INVENTORIES

Inventories are comprised of the following components:

	December 31,			March 31,
	2010			2009
	(unaudited)

Finished Goods	$	3,610,389		$	3,153,917
Inventory in Transit		186,926			—
Less: Inventory Reserve		(349,069	)		(349,069	)

Net Inventories	$	3,448,246		$	2,804,848

Inventory consigned to customers at December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010 were $353,557 and $353,557, respectively.

NOTE 5 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FACTORING FACILITY

On June 8, 2010 the Company was notified by DBS Bank (Hong Kong) Limited (“DBS” or “Lender”) that our credit and factoring facilities totaling $13.0M were being withdrawn effective upon receipt of amounts due on both factoring and accounts payable financing facilities. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had no outstanding amounts due to DBS with respect to the financing facility.

In light of the loss of our financing facility, our parent company, the Starlight Group (“Group”), has expressed their willingness and ability to provide bridge financing and advance funds to us for key vendor payments as well as extending longer payment terms for goods they manufacture for us. We estimated our bridge financing requirements from the Group to be between $1.5 million and $2.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. These funds are expected to be made available by the Group primarily through extended terms for trade payables with the Group. Since March 31, 2010, our related party debt has increased by approximately $1.8 million through the period ended December 31, 2010. Taking into account the Group’s proceeds of approximately $9 million from an offering of their stock in May 2010, internally generated funds and credit facilities available to the Group, and proposed use of proceeds which included up to $2.0M of bridge financing for the Company, we have concluded that our parent will have sufficient working capital to provide bridge financing to us for at least the next 12 months.

The factoring facility was established on August 28, 2008, pursuant to a three-party Banking Facility agreement between the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary SMC (Commercial Offshore De Macau) Limitada (“Borrower”), DBS and Branch Banking and Trust Company (“BB&T” or “Factor”). The agreement was comprised of three facilities including a maximum of $7.0 million on 80% of qualified accounts receivable, a maximum letter of credit facility of $4.0 million for accounts payable financing and a maximum of $2.0 million for the negotiation of export bills under letter of credit.

Under the factor agreement, the Factor assumed credit risk on approved accounts (factor risk accounts). For non-approved accounts, the Company assumed the credit risk (client risk accounts). The factoring fees were .675% of the gross invoice for both client risk (recourse) and factor risk (non-recourse) accounts. As of December 31, 2010 there were no open accounts receivable assigned to the Factor. As of December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010 there were outstanding amounts due from BB&T of $0 and $14,987 respectively. These amounts represent excess of customer payments received by BB&T that had yet to be transferred to DBS. As of December 31, 2010and March 31, 2010 the outstanding amount under the factoring facility with DBS was $0 and $619,567 respectively. This amount represents advances made by DBS on non-recourse receivables and have been offset against accounts receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet for March 31, 2010.

NOTE 6 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

NOTE 7 - OBLIGATIONS TO CLIENTS FOR RETURNS AND ALLOWANCES

Due to the seasonality of the business and length of time clients are given to return defective product, it is not uncommon for clients to accumulate credits from the Company’s sales and allowance programs that are in excess of unpaid invoices in accounts receivable. All credit balances in clients’ accounts receivable are reclassified to “obligations to clients for returns and allowances” in current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Client requests for payment of a credit balance are reclassified from obligations to clients for returns and allowances to accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheet. When new invoices are processed prior to settlement of the credit balance and the client accepts settlement of open credits with new invoices, then the excess of new invoices over credits are netted in accounts receivable. As of the periods ended December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010 obligations to clients for returns and allowances reclassified from accounts receivable were $617,757 and $742,009, respectively. There were no credit amounts requested by clients to be paid for the periods ended December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010 and as such no amounts were reclassified from obligations to clients for returns and allowances to accounts payable.

NOTE 8 – FINANCING

As of December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010 the Company owed DBS $0 and $1,091,828 respectively pursuant to an accounts payable financing facility. The proceeds were used to pay China manufacturing vendors. The accounts payable facility loans were secured with corporate guarantees from the Company as well as a guarantee from Starlight.

This accounts payable financing facility was pursuant to the three-party Banking Facility agreement discussed in Note 5.

Interest on letter of credit facilities and discounting charges on accounts receivable advances were charged at a rate of 1.5% per annum over LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate). The credit facility was secured with corporate guarantees from the Company as well as a $2.0 million guarantee from Starlight International Holdings Limited, a related party. This agreement replaced a previous four-party agreement between the Company, Starlight Marketing Limited (a related party), Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong), Limited and CIT.

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEGAL MATTERS

MGA ENTERTAINMENT, INC. v. THE SINGING MACHINE COMPANY, INC. (CENTRAL DISTRICT COURT OF CALIFORNIA, CASE CV 10-03761 DOC (RNBX) )

MGA Entertainment, Inc. (“MGA”) filed an action against the Company on April 16, 2010 alleging breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and conversion claims relating to two licensing agreements between the parties entered into on May 10, 2006 and November 21, 2006. The two licensing agreements involved the manufacture, distribution and marketing of “Bratz” branded merchandise.

The Company has responded to the above captioned case and has removed the case to federal court, case no. CV 10-03761 DOC (RNBX). Based upon legal opinion from outside Counsel, the Company believes it has defenses to the claims raised by MGA. However, at the time of this filing, the case is still in early stages of discovery and the outcome is unknown.

The Company has also filed a class-action lawsuit on behalf of itself and all similarly situated licensees against MGA in the Central District Court of California, case no. CV 10-4536-DOC(RNBX). The Company alleges breach of contract, failure of consideration for the licensing agreements, and other claims based on various state and federal laws.

On December 27, 2010 US District Judge David Carter limited the scope of Mattel, Inc.’s (“Mattel”) copyright infringement claims against MGA to the first-generation of Bratz dolls. A retrial of the copyright infringement claims by Mattel against MGA restarted in January 2011.

INCOME TAXES

In a letter dated July 21, 2008 the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) notified International SMC (HK) Limited (“ISMC (HK)”, a former foreign subsidiary of the Company, regarding an unpaid tax balance on Income Tax Return of a Foreign Corporation (Form 1120-F) for the period ending March 31, 2003. According to the notice ISMC (HK) has an unpaid balance due in the amount of $241,639 that includes an interest assessment of $74,125. ISMC (HK) was sold in its entirety by the Company on September 25, 2006 to a British Virgin Islands company (“Purchaser”). The sale and purchase agreement with the Purchaser of ISMC (HK) specifies that the Purchaser would ultimately be responsible for any liabilities, including tax matters. On June 3, 2009 the IRS filed a federal tax lien in the amount of approximately $170,000 against ISMC (HK) under ISMC (HK)’s federal Tax ID. Management sought independent legal counsel to assess the potential liability, if any, on the Company. In a memorandum from independent counsel, the conclusion based on the facts presented was that the IRS would not prevail against the Company for collection of the ISMC (HK) income tax liability based on:

The Internal Revenue Service’s asserted position that the Company is not the taxpayer.

The 1120- F tax liability was recorded under the taxpayer identification number belonging to ISMC and not the Company’s taxpayer identification number

The IRS would be barred from recovery since it failed to assess or issue a notice of levy within the three year statute of limitations

Based on the conclusion reached in the legal memorandum, management does not believe that the Company will have any further liability with regards to this issue.

LEASES

The Company has entered into various operating lease agreements for office and warehouse facilities in Coconut Creek, Florida and City of Industry, California. The leases expire at varying dates.

OVERVIEW

The Singing Machine Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “Singing Machine,” “we,” “us,” “our” or “the Company”) and our subsidiaries are primarily engaged in the design, marketing, and sale of consumer karaoke audio equipment, accessories and musical recordings. The Company’s products are sold directly to distributors and retail customers. Our electronic karaoke machines and audio software products are marketed under The Singing Machine(R) and Motown trademarks.

Our products are sold throughout North America and Europe, primarily through department stores, lifestyle merchants, mass merchandisers, direct mail catalogs and showrooms, music and record stores, national chains, specialty stores and warehouse clubs.

Our karaoke machines and karaoke software are currently sold in such major retail outlets as Costco, Kohl's, J.C. Penney, Toys R Us, and Wal-Mart. Our business has historically been subject to significant seasonal fluctuations causing our revenues to vary from period to period and between the same periods in different fiscal years. Thus, it may be difficult for an investor to project our results of operations for any given future period. We are uncertain of how significantly our business will be harmed by a prolonged economic recession but, we anticipate that continued contraction of consumer spending will negatively affect our revenues and profit margins.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain items related to our consolidated statements of operations as a percentage of net sales for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 COMPARED TO THE QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009

NET SALES

Net sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 decreased to $6,935,843 from $11,975,761, a decrease of $5,039,918 as compared to the same period ended December 31, 2009. This decrease in sales is primarily due to decreased international sales and earlier purchasing commitments from North American customers which allowed for earlier shipments which took place in the prior quarter. For the quarter ended December 31, 2010 sales to international customers decreased by approximately $1,000,000 as European customers had excess inventory from the prior year to sell off during the current year.

GROSS PROFIT

Our gross profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 decreased to $1,632,768 from $2,993,762 a decrease of $1,360,994 as compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in revenue in the quarter as compared to the same quarter in the prior year. As a percentage of revenues, our gross profit margin for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was 23.5% compared to 25.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to a lower of cost or market inventory adjustment of approximately $233,000 for end of life products which contributed approximately 3.4 points of margin decrease for the comparable periods. This decrease was offset by favorable percentage of sales to North American customers versus international customers which yield significantly lower gross profit margins and contributed 1.0 point of the variation. Contributions from price increases implemented at the beginning of the fiscal year and product mix accounted for the remaining variance in gross profit margin.

OPERATING EXPENSES

For the quarter ended December 31, 2010, total operating expenses decreased to $1,543,107. This represents a decrease of $1,162,102 from the same period’s quarter ended total operating expenses of $2,705,209. This decrease was primarily due to decreased variable selling expenses which were lower by approximately $892,000 due to the reduced sales volume. The remaining decrease was primarily due to general administrative expenses associated with expense reductions implemented by management at the beginning of the current fiscal year.

General and administrative expenses decreased $247,222 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to an estimated $176,000 decrease in compensation expense and employee benefits due to reduction in workforce. The remaining decrease was due to continued management efforts to reduce expenses commensurate with sales.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

Income from operations decreased $198,892 this quarter, to $89,661 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to income from operations of $288,553 for the same period ended December 31, 2009. The primary reason for the decrease in income from operations was the 42% drop in net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009.

OTHER INCOME/EXPENSES

Our net other expenses (interest expense) decreased to $8,992 from $41,244 for the same period a year ago. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the termination of our financing facilities with DBS bank without negotiating any replacement financing.

INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not record a tax provision because it expects current year-to-date losses and sufficient future net losses to offset the income for these periods.

NET INCOME

For the three months ended December 31, 2010 net income decreased to $80,669 compared to net income of $247,309 for the same period a year ago. The decrease in net income was primarily due to the decrease in revenue as compared to the same period in the prior year.

NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009

NET SALES

Net sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 decreased to $17,385,142 from $19,781,141, a decrease of $2,395,999 as compared to the same period ended December 31, 2009. This decrease in sales was almost exclusively due to the decrease in international sales as European customers had excess inventory from the prior year to sell off during the current year.

GROSS PROFIT

Our gross profit for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 decreased to $3,901,337 from $4,091,744, a decrease of $190,407 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to decrease in sales from international customers for the comparable periods. As a percentage of revenues, our gross profit margin for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 was 22.4% compared to 20.7% for the nine months ended December 31, 2009. This increase was primarily due to favorable margin effects from an increased percentage of sales to North American customers versus international customers which yield significantly lower gross profit margins and contributed 1.0 points of the variation. Contributions from price increases implemented at the beginning of the fiscal year and product mix accounted for the remaining variance in gross profit margin.

OPERATING EXPENSES

For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, total operating expenses decreased to $3,988,494 from $5,638,253 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $1,649,759. Selling expenses decreased by approximately $938,000 primarily due to a reduction in outbound freight as one of our major customers accepted their goods via direct import and assumed all delivery freight charges. General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $728,000 of which wage reductions and associated employee benefits due to reduction in workforce accounted for approximately $383,000 of the decrease. Factor fees were also decreased by $110,000 due to termination of our factoring facility with DBS bank in the prior year. The remaining decrease was due to continued management efforts to reduce administrative expenses and improved operating efficiencies.

OTHER INCOME/EXPENSES

Our net other expenses (interest expense) decreased to $19,981 from $72,195 for the same period a year ago. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the termination of our financing facilities with DBS bank without negotiating any replacement financing.

INCOME TAXES

For the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not record a tax provision because it had a net operating loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and had sufficient net operation loss from previous periods to offset the income for the nine months ended December 31, 2009.

NET LOSS/INCOME

We incurred a net loss of $107,138 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 compared to a net loss of $1,618,704 for the same period a year ago. The $1,511,566 decrease in net loss was primarily due to decreased operating expenses for reasons explained in the operating expenses section above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of December 31, 2010, Singing Machine had cash on hand of $1,312,239 as compared to cash on hand of $1,777,340 as of December 31, 2009. We had a working capital deficit of $1,130,495 as of December 31, 2010.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2,183,510 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $1,904,402 used in operating activities the same period a year ago. The increase in net cash provided was a result of the following factors: increase in trade accounts payable and a decrease in accounts receivable due to the increase in direct import sales which are paid shortly after delivery. Accounts receivable were also reduced from participation in a major retailer’s “quick-pay” vendor payment program which accelerated collection of outstanding receivables from this vendor in exchange for a reasonable additional discount off of open invoices.

Net cash used by investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 was $27,000 as compared to $214,500 used by investing activities for the same period ended a year ago. This decrease was caused primarily by a low amount of capital expenditures for the current fiscal year.

Net cash used in financing activities was $1,710,048 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $2,939,079 for the same period ended a year ago. Our facilities with DBS bank were terminated on June 8, 2010 and we were required to pay off all outstanding balances during the nine month period ending December 31, 2010 accounting for the significant increase in funds used by financing activities. During the nine months ended December 31, 2009 we made use of available credit facilities from DBS bank and reduced our reliance on related party and vendor financing during that period. Since we have not replaced our financing facility we have relied on related party and vendor financing as well as offering major customers additional discounts in exchange for reduced payment terms.

In light of the loss of our financing facility, our parent company, the Starlight Group (“Group”), has expressed their willingness and ability to provide bridge financing and advance funds to us for key vendor payments as well as extending longer payment terms for goods they manufacture for us. We estimated our bridge financing requirements from the Group to be between $1.5 million and $2.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. These funds are expected to be made available by the Group primarily through extended terms for trade payables with the Group. Since March 31, 2010, our related party debt has increased by approximately $1.8 million through the period ending December 31, 2010. Taking into account the Group’s proceeds of approximately $9 million from an offering of their stock in May 2010, internally generated funds and credit facilities available to the Group, and proposed use of proceeds which included up to $2.0M of bridge financing for the Company, we have concluded that our parent will have sufficient working capital to provide bridge financing to us for at least the next 12 months.

As of December 31, 2010, our unrestricted cash on hand was $1,312,239. Our average monthly general and administrative expenses are approximately $210,000. We expect that we will require approximately $1 million for working capital during the next three-month period.

During the next 12 month period, we plan on financing our operation needs by:

Raising additional working capital;

Collecting our existing accounts receivable;

Selling existing inventory;

Vendor financing;

Borrowing from factoring bank;

Short term loans from our majority shareholder;

Fees for fulfillment, delivery and returns services from related parties.

Our sources of cash for working capital in the long term, 12 months and beyond are essentially the same as our sources during the short term. We are actively seeking additional financing facilities and capital investments to maintain and grow our business. If we need to obtain additional financing and fail to do so, it may have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our financial obligations and to continue as a going concern.

INVENTORY SELL THROUGH

We monitor the inventory levels and sell through activity of our major customers to properly anticipate defective returns and maintain the appropriate level of inventory. We believe that our warranty provision reflects the proper amount of reserves to cover potential defective sales returns based on historical return ratios and information available from the customers.

SEASONAL AND QUARTERLY RESULTS

Historically, our operations have been seasonal, with the highest net sales occurring in our second and third fiscal quarters (reflecting increased orders for equipment and music merchandise during the Christmas holiday season) and to a lesser extent the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. Sales in our second and third fiscal quarters, combined, accounted for approximately 89.0% and 92.0% of net sales in fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Our results of operations may also fluctuate from quarter to quarter as a result of the amount and timing of orders placed and shipped to customers, as well as other factors. The fulfillment of orders can therefore significantly affect results of operations on a quarter-to-quarter basis.

We are currently developing and considering selling products other than those within the karaoke category during the slow season to fulfill the revenue shortfall.

INFLATION

Inflation has not had a significant impact on our operations. We generally have adjusted our prices to track changes in the Consumer Price Index since prices we charge are generally not fixed by long-term contracts.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, management is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that it believes are reasonable based on the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. The significant accounting policies which management believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include: accounts receivable allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves on inventory, deferred tax assets and our Macau income tax exemption.

COLLECTIBILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. Our allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management's estimates of the creditworthiness of our customers, current economic conditions and historical information, and, in the opinion of management, is believed to be an amount sufficient to respond to normal business conditions. Management sets 100% reserves for customers in bankruptcy and other reserves based upon historical collection experience. Should business conditions deteriorate or any major customer default on its obligations to the Company, this allowance may need to be significantly increased, which would have a negative impact on operations.

RESERVES ON INVENTORIES. We establish a reserve on inventory based on the expected net realizable value of inventory on an item-by-item basis when it is apparent that the expected realizable value of an inventory item falls below its original cost. A charge to cost of sales results when the estimated net realizable value of specific inventory items declines below cost. Management regularly reviews the Company's investment in inventories for such declines in value.

INCOME TAXES. Significant management judgment is required in developing our provision for income taxes, including the determination of foreign tax liabilities, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowances that might be required against the deferred tax assets. Management evaluates its ability to realize its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and adjusts its valuation allowance when it believes that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized.

We operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to audit in those jurisdictions. Because of the complex issues involved, any claims can require an extended period to resolve. In management's opinion, adequate provisions for potential income taxes in the jurisdiction have been made.

USE OF OTHER ESTIMATES. We make other estimates in the ordinary course of business relating to sales returns and allowances, warranty reserves, and reserves for promotional incentives. Historically, past changes to these estimates have not had a material impact on our financial condition. However, circumstances could change which may alter future expectations.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls. We reported certain material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2010. The Company is still in the process of remediating these material weaknesses. Management has worked on a formal template of closing procedures that will be fully implemented prior to the closing of our accounting records for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011 which is expected to address the identified weaknesses.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR BUSINESS

CURRENT LEVELS OF SECURITIES AND FINANCIAL MARKET VOLATILITY ARE UNPRECEDENTED.

The capital and credit markets have been experiencing volatility and disruption for more than 12 months. In recent months, the volatility and disruption has reached unprecedented levels. In some cases, the markets have produced downward pressure on stock prices and credit availability for certain issuers. We believe these credit market disruptions have likely decreased our ability to access debt and equity financing. If current levels of market disruption and volatility continue or worsen, there can be no assurance that we will not experience an adverse effect, which may be material, on our ability to access capital and on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
