PART I



|Item 1. | Business
|------- | --------

General

Cobra Electronics Corporation (the Company), incorporated in Delaware in 1961, is traded on The NASDAQ
Stock Market under the symbol COBR. The Company is a leading designer and marketer of two-way mobile communications products in the United States, Canada and Europe, holding the number one or strong number two position in each of its
longstanding product lines and targeting a similar position for businesses recently entered into, namely portable mobile navigation systems, marine VHF radios and marine chartplotters. The Company has a 45-year track record of innovation and the
development of award-winning products and is an industry leader in developing technology applications that serve consumers needs. Management believes that the Companys future success depends upon its ability to predict and respond in a
timely and effective manner to changes in the markets it serves. Product performance, reliability, price, availability and service are the main competitive factors. The Companys sales are dependent upon timely introduction of new products,
which incorporate new features desired by consumers, at competitive prices. Cobra is the number one brand in Citizens Band radios and radar detectors and a strong number two in the two-way radio category.

The consolidated entity consists of Cobra Electronics Corporation and subsidiaries Cobra Electronics Europe Limited, Cobra Electronics Hong Kong Limited, Cobra
Electronics U.K. Limited and Performance Products Limited (PPL).

In October 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of Performance
Products Limited (PPL). A U.K.- based company, PPL is a designer and marketer of consumer electronic products, including GPS-enabled speed camera detection systems and personal navigation devices, to consumers and also markets a data
base of speed camera locations.

With the acquisition of PPL, the Company will segregate and report its operating results into the Cobra and PPL business
segments.

Cobra is well known for innovation and its responsiveness to consumer needs in each of its six product lines:



| |  |  | Two-way radios. Cobra entered the two-way radio category in 1997 and quickly emerged as a market leader. In 2006, Cobra sustained its track record of designing
innovative products by launching the worlds smallest and most powerful two-way radio for consumers, a lithium ion battery powered model with a range of up to 17 miles.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Radar detectors. Cobra remains on the leading edge of developing radar detectors with innovative features and designs and has established itself as the clear market
leader. In 2006, Cobra introduced 12-band radar detectors with the industrys first full-color LED displays.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Citizens Band radios. Cobra has the leading market share among Citizens Band radio manufacturers. The Company has
developed and sustained that lead by introducing unique features that appeal to the professional driver, such as NightWatchTMillumination and Soundtracker® noise reduction.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Power inverters. In 2006, Cobra launched a new line of power inverters for consumers and professional drivers. These products allow consumers to power 120-volt AC
products, such as computers, video games and appliances, using the 12-volt outlet in their vehicle. A key introduction in 2006 was the CPI 150 Micro Size inverter which includes a USB port that is ideal for an iPod®, Blackberry®, mobile phone or laptop.

| |  |  | Mobile navigation. Cobra entered the burgeoning mobile navigation market in 2004, with the launch of the NAV
ONETM3000, an award-winning plug and go product. In 2005, Cobra launched the NAV ONE 4500, the
first fully integrated portable navigation device with real-time traffic and the exclusive compare routes feature. In 2006, Cobra introduced the NAV ONE 2500, with 3-D mapping, driver controlled speed warnings, a 3.5 inch high resolution
touch screen and a temperature functionality range of minus 4 degrees to 158 degrees.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Marine consumer electronics. Cobra entered the marine consumer electronics industry in 2003, with the introduction of handheld and fixed mount VHF marine radios.
This was followed in 2006 with the launch of marine chartplotters.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recent Developments

Innovation remains the hallmark of Cobras success, as demonstrated by just a few of its recent
product introductions and other recent developments.

On October 20, 2006, Cobra Electronics UK Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Cobra completed the
acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of PPL. PPL is a provider of GPS-enabled speed camera detection systems and personal navigation devices to consumers and retail locations based in the United Kingdom, as well as other
locations in Europe.

PPLs mobile navigation products include the Snooper Indago, the Snooper Syrius and the Snooper Strabo. PPLs speed camera
detection devices include the Snooper Sapphire, Snooper S6-R Neo Plus and Snooper Evolution. PPL also sells to consumers subscriptions to its enigma data base, which provides locations of speed cameras and potentially hazardous driving locations to
users of its mobile navigation and speed camera detection devices.

Cobra introduced the following products in 2006:

display and illuminated function keys. The handheld radio can be used as an All-Terrain-Radio that seamlessly goes from a VHF to a GMRS two-way radio.

In
the first quarter of 2007, PPL introduced the Snooper Strabo, a mobile navigation device with speed camera detection capabilities and a built-in MP3 Player.

Suppliers

One of the Companys fundamental strengths is its product sourcing ability. Substantially all of the
Companys products, including those of PPL, are manufactured to its specifications and engineering designs by a number of suppliers, primarily in China, Hong Kong, Italy, the Philippines, South Korea and Thailand. The Company maintains control
over the design and production quality of its products through its wholly-owned subsidiary in Hong Kong which seeks out new suppliers, monitors technological changes, performs source inspection of key suppliers, provides selected engineering
services and expedites shipments from suppliers.

Over a period of years, the Company has developed a network of suppliers for its products. To maintain
flexibility in product sourcing, all of the Companys contracts with its suppliers can be terminated by the Company at will. While it is the Companys goal to maintain strong relationships with its current suppliers,

management believes that, if necessary, alternate suppliers could be found. The extent to which a change in a supplier would have an adverse effect on the
Companys business depends upon the timing of the change, the product or products that the supplier produces for the Company and the volume of that production. The Company also maintains insurance coverage that would, under certain limited
circumstances, reimburse the Company for lost profits resulting from a suppliers inability to fulfill its commitments to the Company. The Company negotiates substantially all of its purchases in U.S. dollars to protect itself from currency
fluctuations and, in the case of PPL, uses forward contracts to purchase dollars at a fixed exchange rate to the pound sterling. Longlived assets located outside of the United States totaled $25.2 million at December 31, 2006.

Research and product development expenditures, as well as non-capitalized engineering costs, are expensed as incurred and amounted to $1.9 million in 2006, $1.8
million in 2005 and $2.4 million in 2004. Beginning in 2005, certain engineering costs associated with the development of mobile navigation products have been capitalized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 86. Refer to Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

The Company also markets its products in over 30 countries through distributors.

PPLs principal products include two mobile navigation devices
marketed under the tradenames Snooper Indago and Snooper Syrius and GPS-enabled speed camera location detectors, marketed under the tradenames of Snooper Sapphire, Snooper S6-R Neo Plus and Snooper Evolution among others. PPL also markets a database
of speed camera locations.

Two-Way Radios

In 1997, the Company entered the two-way radio market and in the fall of 1998 began selling its new microTALK line. The Company has attained a strong number two market position in the domestic GMRS two-way radio market. The Company
estimates that the domestic market for GMRS two-way radios in factory net sales in 2006 was approximately $120 million compared to $170 million in 2005, based in part on Industrial Marketing Research (IMR) data.

GMRS two-way radios operate on UHF FM frequencies, which allow for an extremely small hand-held radio and exceptionally clear sound that penetrates through buildings and
other obstacles. Unlike cellular phones, these radios require no monthly fee and provide coverage even in the most remote areas. Because of their rangeup to seventeen miles (for certain 2006 GMRS models, which require a license)and
exceptionally clear sound

quality, the radios enable families and friends to easily keep in touch in many situations where they typically get separated and are out of earshot, such as
in shopping malls, amusement parks and ski resorts. GMRS two-way radios also provide parents with an easy way to maintain contact with children when they are outside playing. Another key to Cobras success in the GMRS market has been its
emphasis on value packs, which include battery chargers, rechargeable batteries and other accessories along with the radios.

The Companys microTALK
two-way radios have innovative features, including incoming call alert that lets one user ring another user and talk confirmation tones that subtly let users know when the other party is done talking. Certain models even have a patented
VibrAlert® feature that works like a silent
vibrating pager, which makes it perfect for situations where noiseless operation is important or where a ring alert cannot be easily heard. Also, certain models incorporate a ten-channel NOAA all-hazards alert radio, which warns of weather, chemical
and other civilian emergencies.

In 1999, the Company launched its European line of microTALK PMR radios in the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Germany,
Sweden and Finland, and now holds a leading share in the European market. In 2000, as part of its European strategy to be closer to its customers, the Company formed an Irish subsidiary, Cobra Electronics Europe Limited, which is headquartered in
Dublin, Ireland. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had 20 distributors serving approximately 30 countries in Europe.

In the second quarter of
2000, Cobra began selling its microTALK FRS radios in Canada and now holds the number one share in this market. The Canadian government approved the sale of GMRS radios in 2004 and Cobra holds the number one share in this market as well. Lithium ion
battery powered two-way radios that fit into a pocket and feature a range of up to 17 miles were unveiled in December 2005 for all GMRS geographic markets.

Detection

Cobra is the number one brand in the domestic market for integrated radar/laser detectors. In factory net
sales, the Company estimates that the U.S. market for integrated radar/laser detectors was approximately $90 million in 2006 and approximately $64 million in 2005 (based in part on IMR data). Cobra commands the number one market share by offering
innovative products with the latest technology.

The Company has been a leader in applying laser detection technology, including introducing the
industrys first laser-signal detector and the industrys first integrated radar/laser detector with 360 degree laser detection capability. The Company was also the first to introduce to the retail channel intelligent detection
systems capable of alerting drivers with a differentiated signal for each of the frequencies emitted by the Companys patented, FCC-approved Safety Alert transmitter. The Companys Safety Alert Traffic Warning System is designed to
help drivers avoid potentially serious accidents with police, fire, EMS and public utility vehicles.

In late 1999, the Company introduced the worlds
first, and then, only line of 9 Band radar detection systems. This line provided detection of two laser systems, Ultra Lyte and ProLaser. In addition, this line was the first to incorporate the exclusive Strobe Alert feature. This technology alerts
drivers to the presence of high-speed emergency vehicles equipped with strobe transmitters to control traffic signals. In 2000, the Company introduced the worlds first 10 Band radar detection system, which features a high-speed RISC processor
and offers 10 bands of protection, including Cobras patented Safety Alert warning system and exclusive Strobe Alert detection. Unlike competing radar detection systems, 10 Band radar detectors enable motorists to detect eight speed-monitoring
systems and distinguish between four types of laser systems on the road today, including LTI 20/20, Ultra Lyte, ProLaser and ProLaser III. In 2001, Cobra introduced the worlds first radar detector incorporating a 10-channel weather radio.

The Company introduced in 2002 the innovative SmartMute feature that is standard on Cobras 10 Band, 11 Band and 12 Band radar/laser detectors. An
enhanced SmartMute feature called Intellimute was introduced in



5

##### Table of Contents

2004. This technology automatically mutes unwanted audible alerts below a driver-set speed, based on engine revolutions per minute.

The first 11 Band models, which alert drivers to the Spectre devices used to detect the presence of radar detectors in vehicles were introduced in 2003. These models
also employ SmartPower technology, which avoids
inadvertent car battery draining that could occur in certain automobiles by not turning the detector off when the vehicle has been turned off.

A new line
of radar detectors that incorporates industry-leading technology that increases range and detects the new K and Ka POP Modes were introduced in 2004. This new line included IntelliShield software that significantly reduces false alerts in densely populated urban areas. The
city mode has three settings for enhanced false signal rejection. Cobra announced digital radar detectors with the industrys first color LED displays, improved detection range and a strong advance warning and an industry leading 12
bands in 2006.

In 2007, the Company will introduce wireless remote controlled radar/laser detectors (XRS R7 and XRS R9G) with an optional GPS locator
(standard with the R9G model)to detect red light and speed camera locations. The discreet appearance of the GPS locator and detection unit deters theft and improves detection range.

Citizens Band Radios

Cobra is the leading brand in
the domestic Citizens Band radio market, which the Company estimates to have been approximately $38 million in factory net sales (based on Industrial Marketing Research (IMR) data) in 2006 and 2005. Approximately 90 percent of this
market is for mobile Citizens Band radios, most of which are purchased by professional truck drivers. The remaining part of the domestic market is for hand-held Citizens Band radios used for sport and recreational activities.

The Company has a history of being the technology leader in the Citizens Band radio market. The Company was the first Citizens Band radio marketer to combine a National
Weather Service receiver with a mobile Citizens Band radio, enabling motorists to obtain weather and travel information broadcasts. As a major enhancement of this feature, the Company also introduced the industrys first mobile Citizens Band
radio that incorporated an automatic alert feature to warn of National Weather Service emergency advisories. In 1997, the Company introduced its SoundTracker technology. This patented noise reduction technology, which dramatically improved the sound
quality of the Citizens Band radios when the Citizens Band radio is in receiving mode, was the first significant product innovation in this category in several years. Additionally, SoundTracker technology allows the users voice to break
through cluttered airwaves and to be more easily heard when transmitting.

The Company introduced a new line of Citizens Band radios featuring an
adjustable illuminated front panel in 1999. This NightWatch line enhanced drivers safety by making it dramatically easier for them to see and adjust their Citizens Band radio controls at night. The vast majority of the nine million mobile
Citizens Band radios used by professional truck drivers today are not illuminated despite the fact that these drivers spend a significant amount of time driving at night. The 19DX IV model, featuring a compact design illuminated LCD display, 40
channels, RF gain control and an instant 9/19 channel, was introduced in the first quarter of 2005.

Cobra looks for opportunities to introduce limited
edition Citizens Band Radios that are intended to drive incremental sales. Historically, Cobra has licensed Harley-Davidson®, Dale Earnhardt® and Dale Earnhardt Jr.® trademarks for this purpose.

Power Inverters and High Gear Accessories

In 2000, Cobra started its HighGear accessories division to develop and market high quality Citizens Band radio microphones and external speakers.

In 1997, Cobra introduced its first line of power inverters, which permit users to power devices requiring a 120-volt AC power using the 12-volt outlet.

Marine Products

In the fourth quarter of 2003, Cobra introduced its first marine electronics products. The new product line is distinguished by premium features and industry firsts focused on usability and safety. The marine product
line consists of fixed and hand-held dual power marine VHF transceivers and marine chartplotters.

Marine chartplotters, the MC 600 series, featuring
embedded aerial photographs of marina and harbor entrances, 3D mapping, dynamic arrows to indicate direction and speed of tidal currents and arrival and off-course alarms, were introduced to marine retailers in 2006.

In February 2007, Cobra launched a new line of handheld and fixed-mount VHF radios with Rewind Say-Again, a digital voice recorder that records the last 20 seconds
of the transmission. The handheld MR HH425LI VP and the fixed mount MR F80B radios feature Rewind Say-Again, 10 NOAA weather channels, illuminated LCD display and illuminated function keys. The handheld radio can be used as an
All-Terrain-Radio that seamlessly goes from a VHF to a GMRS two-way radio.

Mobile Navigation

The Company introduced the NAV ONE 3000 at the 2004 International Consumer Electronics Show where it won two 2004 International CES Innovations Awards from the Consumer
Electronics Association for its innovative features. The NAV ONE 3000 began selling in the third quarter of 2004, and marked a milestone for the Company, as it made the leap from selling hardware to selling technology. The Company estimates that the
domestic market for mobile navigation in factory net sales during 2006 was approximately $600 million compared to $400 million in 2005 (based on data from Frost & Sullivan).

The NAV ONE 4500, introduced in September 2005, incorporated real-time traffic updates. The NAV ONE 4500 offered up-to-the minute information on traffic incidents, congestion and construction to help drivers avoid
traffic jams. The NAV ONE 4000, a traffic-ready companion unit to the NAV ONE 4500, provided many of the features of the NAV ONE 4500 including a five-inch high-resolution touchscreen and more than 7.6 million points of interest at
an attractive price point to the consumer.

The NAV ONE 2500 with 3-D mapping, driver controlled speed warnings, a 3.5 inch high resolution touch screen
and a temperature functionality range of minus 4 degrees to 158 degrees was launched in September 2006. The NAV ONE 2100, with features similar to the NAV ONE 2500 at a more competitive price-point, was launched in January 2007.

PPL

PPL markets its mobile navigation and speed
camera locator devices through consumer electronics retailers, speciality retailers and directly to consumers through its website and customer service centers. Its products are marketed primarily in the U.K., although sales throughout Europe are
increasing. PPL also markets its enigma database, providing drivers with advance notice of upcoming speed camera and hazardous locations.

PPLs
mobile navigation products include the Snooper Indago and the Snooper Syrius, as well as the Snooper Strabo, introduced in the first quarter of 2007. Each product features a full-color LCD touchscreen, two dimensional and three dimensional views,
and built-in rechargeable battery for cordless operation. Each unit also provides the option to download the enigma database.

PPL markets five speed
camera detection devices including the Snooper Sapphire, Snooper S6-R Neo Plus and Snooper Evolution. Each product uses GPS location technology and the enigma database to alert drivers to upcoming speed camera and hazard locations.

##### Table of Contents

A significant competitive advantage for PPL is the proprietary enigma database. Unlike database capabilities of
competitors, PPL updates the enigma database on a daily basis and makes the information available to its subscribers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Therefore, new speed camera locations are more readily available to PPLs customers.

Patents and Intellectual Property

The Company believes that patents and other intellectual property are of material importance
for mobile navigation and hand-held GPS products. This is not the case for the Companys other products. However, when the Company develops a unique technology (such as VibrAlert vibrating technology for two-way radios), patents are
applied for to preserve exclusivity, wherever possible. The Company has entered into agreements with various providers and/or developers of intellectual property used in connection with its GPS and mobile navigation products, including Horizon
Navigation, Inc. (Horizon), AtBrain Corporation, C-MAP Italy S.p.A. and TeleAtlas North America, Inc. The Company has negotiated agreements with these parties, which in managements view, protect the Companys rights to the
underlying intellectual property.

The Companys microTALK GMRS two-way radios, 9 Band, 10 Band, 11 Band and 12 Band detectors with exclusive Strobe
Alert technology, SoundTracker and NightWatch Citizens Band radios, HighGear accessories, GPS receivers, marine products and mobile navigation devices are marketed under the Cobra brand name. The Company has registered the Cobra trademark in the
U.S., most European countries and various other jurisdictions. The Company believes that the Cobra trademark, which is indefinitely renewable by the Company, is a significant factor in the successful marketing of its products.

Personal navigation devices and GPS locators designed and marketed by PPL are marketed under the Snooper trademark.

Competition

Major competitors in the Cobra business segment are Garmin, Tom Tom and Magellan (Mobile Navigation and GPS
receivers); Motorola, Audiovox and Uniden (GMRS); Whistler and Escort/Beltronics (Detection); Uniden, Midland and Radio Shack (Citizens Band radios); and Icom, Uniden and Standard Radio (Marine products).

Competitors in the PPL segment include Garmin, Tom Tom and Navman for personal navigation devices and Road Angel for GPS locators.

Sales & Distribution

Demand for consumer electronics products is somewhat seasonal and varies according to channel of
distribution. Historically, sales in the last half of the year are significantly greater than in the first half, reflecting increasing purchases by retailers for various promotional activities that begin mainly in the third quarter and culminate
with the holiday selling season. Also, because mass retail accounts make up an increasing portion of the Companys business, the Company has experienced a shift in orders from the third quarter to the fourth quarter when the mass retailers
normally begin their load-in for the holiday selling season. In 2007, the Company expects to continue developing new customers in the marine/outdoor channel that will over time reduce the fourth quarter seasonality, as sales in the marine/outdoor
channel tend to peak in the first and second quarters.

Cobra products are distributed through a strong, well-established network of nearly 300 retailers
and distributors located primarily in the United States, representing nearly 40,000 storefronts where Cobra products can be purchased. Approximately 70 percent of the Companys sales are made directly to retailers, such as mass marketers,
consumer electronics specialty stores, large department store-chains, warehouse clubs, office supply chains, television home-shopping, direct-response merchandisers, home centers and specialty stores. Most of the remaining sales are through two-step
wholesale distributors that carry Cobra products to fill orders for travel

##### Table of Contents

centers, truck stops, small department stores, appliance dealers, duty-free shops on cruise lines and for export. Cobras primary sales force is
composed of independent sales representatives who work on a straight commission basis. The sales representatives do not sell competing products of other companies. In both Canada and Europe, the Company utilizes distributors, which sell primarily to
retailers.

Customers which exceeded 10 percent of net sales in any one year are as follows: in 2006, sales to Wal-Mart were 17.0 percent and sales to QVC
were 10.3 percent, in 2005, sales to Wal-Mart were 17.1 percent, and in 2004, sales to Wal-Mart and Best Buy were 17.7 percent and 14.2 percent of net sales, respectively.

International sales, primarily in Canada and Europe, were $20.6 million, $18.0 million and $18.2 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. For additional financial information about geographic areas, see Note 12
to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Companys return policies and payment terms
are similar to those of other companies serving the consumer electronics market. The Companys products generally must be shipped within a short time after an order is received and, as a result, order backlog is not significant.

PPLs sales are primarily in the United Kingdom, through a network of retailers and distributors, as well as through the Companys website.

Employees

As of December 31, 2006, the Company employed 135 persons in the U.S. and 46 persons in its international
operations. None of the Companys employees are a member of a union. With the acquisition of PPL in October 2006, the Companys international workforce increased by 28 persons.

Beginning in 2005, the Company devoted more internal resources to mobile navigation product development, by adding increased in-house engineering capabilities, and significantly reduced its reliance on third-party
contractors to build a stronger proprietary position in the rapidly growing mobile navigation market. These expenses will continue to increase as resources are added to support the growth of the mobile navigation business.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

This section identifies certain risks and uncertainties that the
Company faces. If unable to appropriately address these and other circumstances that could have a negative effect on its business, the Companys business may suffer. Negative events may decrease revenues, increase costs, negatively affect
financial results and decrease financial strength, thereby, causing the price of the Companys stock to decline.

Business, financial condition or
results of operation could be adversely affected by the inability to enhance existing products or introduce new products to meet consumer preferences, including timely introductions as new consumer technologies are introduced.

Management believes that the Companys future success depends upon its ability to predict and respond in a timely and effective manner to changes in the market it
serves. Consequently, the Company strives to introduce distinctive new products that anticipate changing consumer demands and capitalize upon emerging technologies. If the Company fails to introduce, or suffer delays in introducing new products,
misinterpret consumer preferences or fail to respond to changes in the marketplace, consumer demand for our products could decrease and our brand image could suffer. In addition, competitors may introduce new designs or technologies, undermining our
products desirability. If any of the foregoing occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially harmed.

Failure to maintain relationships with key customers and failure by key customers to purchase expected quantities of our products could have an adverse effect on our business.

Cobra products are distributed through a network of nearly 300 retailers and distributors located primarily in the United States and PPL products are sold through a
network of over 500 retailers and distributors in Europe. The Companys success is dependent upon the ability to retain an existing base of customers to sell the Companys products. Loss of customers means loss of product placement and,
consequently, a reduction in sales volume.

Certain of the Companys customers account for a large portion of the Companys net sales. For
instance, in 2006, sales to Wal-Mart were 17.0 percent of net sales and sales to QVC were 10.3 percent. We anticipate that Wal-Mart will continue to account for a significant portion of our net sales in the foreseeable future.

Customers are not obligated by any firm, long-term purchase commitments for our products. As a result, customers may cancel purchase commitments or reduce or delay
orders on relatively short notice. The loss of sales to, or a material delay in orders from, our key customers could materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of high quality products on a timely basis, customer needs may not be met and reduced sales may result.

Substantially all products are manufactured by third party manufacturers located outside of the United States, primarily in China, Hong Kong, Italy,
the Philippines, South Korea and Thailand. The ability to meet customers needs depends on the ability to maintain an uninterrupted supply of products from multiple third party manufacturers. While the Company purchases most products from a
multiple third party manufacturers, the business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected if any of the principal third party manufacturers experience production problems, lack of capacity or transportation
disruptions. In addition, certain of our third party manufacturers serve other customers, a number of which have greater production requirements than we do. As a result, third party manufacturers could determine to prioritize production capacity for
other customers or reduce or eliminate services for us on short notice. The extent to which changes in third party manufacturers would have an adverse effect on the Companys business depends upon the timing of the changes, the product or
products that the third party manufacturers produce and the volume of production.

Dependence on third party manufacturers for products subjects the
Company to the risk of supplier failure and customer dissatisfaction with the quality or performance of such products. Quality or performance failures by third party manufacturers or changes in their financial or business condition which affect
their production could disrupt the ability to supply quality products to customers and thereby materially harm the business.

##### Table of Contents

Shortages of components and materials may disrupt the supply of products.

The inability of third party manufacturers to obtain sufficient quantities of components and other materials used in our products could disrupt the supply of products or
increase costs. Materials and components for some products may not be available in sufficient quantities to satisfy sales requirements as a result of supply shortages. Supply interruptions relating to products could result in lost sales
opportunities which may harm the business, financial condition and results of operation.

Reliance on retailers and third party distributors to sell our
products.

Cobra products are sold through a network of nearly 300 retailers and distributors located primarily in the United States and PPL products
are sold through a network of over 500 retailers and distributors in Europe. Certain distributors market competitors products. The loss, termination or failure of one or more of the distributors to effectively promote our products could affect
the Companys ability to bring its products to market and could reduce sales. Changes in the financial or business condition of these distributors and retailers could also affect the level of their purchases of our products which could
materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operation.

The Company competes with a large number of companies in the consumer
electronics business, and if unable to compete effectively, the business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially affected.

The
Company encounters strong competition from a number of companies in the consumer electronics business. Some of the current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition and significantly
greater financial resources than we do. Competition is based principally on the introduction of new products and pricing. Competitors may have greater resources and operating and financial flexibility to introduce new products and withstand changes
in pricing. To compete for sales, the Company may have to lower its prices or increase its investment in development of new technologies, which could reduce the gross margin and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations. The Company cannot make assurances that it will continue to compete effectively against existing and new competitors that may enter our markets.

Any downturn in the global economic and market conditions could negatively impact the business, financial condition and results of operations.

The consumer electronics products sold by the Company are generally discretionary purchases for consumers. Consumer spending is affected by many factors, including consumer confidence levels, interest rates, tax rates, employment levels and
prospects and other general economic conditions. Periods of economic slowdown or recession in the United States or worldwide economies, or the publics perception that these may occur, would likely decrease the demand for products and adversely
affect sales. In addition, deteriorating or weak economic conditions, or the forecast or perception of the same, may trigger changes in inventory levels at our retail customers, including a reduction in product offerings and out of stock situations,
which may adversely affect the results of operations.

International markets expose us to political and economic risks in foreign countries, as well as to risks relating to
currency values and import/export policies.

Substantially all products are manufactured to our specifications and engineering designs by suppliers
located primarily in China, Hong Kong, Italy, the Philippines, South Korea and Thailand. In addition, international sales, primarily in Canada and Europe, represent a significant portion of our total sales. International activities pose risks not
faced by companies that limit themselves to the United States market. These risks include:

Revenues and purchases are predominately in U.S. dollars; however, a portion of revenue is collectible in other currencies, principally euros and British pounds. As sales expand in international markets, customers may
increasingly make payments in other currencies. The Company hedges foreign currency fluctuations; however, it may not be able to fully hedge against the risks of such fluctuations and future exchange rate fluctuations could materially affect our
operating results.

The Company is subject to various governmental regulations that could adversely affect the business.

Operations are subject to various federal, state and local regulatory requirements, including those relating to environmental, health and safety matters. The Company
becomes subject to liabilities as a result of a failure to comply with applicable laws and could incur substantial costs to comply with existing or new more stringent regulations. In addition, the use of the Companys products is also governed
by a variety of federal, state and local regulations, including the regulations of the Federal Communications Commission, and changes in such regulations may affect product demand.

The Company is subject to governmental regulation in the countries in which it operates.

The Companys business
is subject to governmental regulations in the countries in which it operates. From time to time, such governments may consider proposed legislation relating to the regulation of products that we or our subsidiaries sell. For instance, the regulation
of radar and laser detectors could become more restrictive in the future and such restriction would harm our business. Recently, the Road Safety Act 2006 received Royal Assent in the UK. The Road Safety Act 2006 contains provisions which, when in
force, would enable the UK government to adopt regulations prohibiting the use of speed detection devices, such as radar and laser detectors, in the UK. The loss of sales as a result of any such regulations and any similar legislation could
materially harm the business, financial condition and results of operations.

Mobile navigation devices and other GPS-enabled products depend upon a
network of satellites maintained by the United States Department of Defense. If these satellites become inoperable or the policies of the United States regarding civilian use of the GPS system change, there would be a material effect on our
business.

The Global Positioning System functions through a network of satellites launched, operated and maintained by the United States Department of
Defense. Should the satellites or underlying support systems become inoperable or if the United States government were to choose to degrade the quality of signals available to civilians, GPS products will not function as designed and there would
likely be an adverse effect on demand for these products. Additionally, The Department of Defense does not currently charge users for access to the signals used by these devices and any move to do so could affect the economies of this business.

If the Company is unable to enforce or defend its rights with respect to intellectual property, the business may be
adversely affected.

The Cobra trademark is a key factor in the marketing of products. Trademark protection with respect to the Cobra trademark in the
United States could be subject to challenge in some product areas. In addition, the Company may not be able to obtain trademark protection for the Cobra trademark in each country in which it sells products. If we are unable to use the Cobra
trademark with respect to some products or in some markets, the results of operations could be adversely affected.

The Snooper trademark is a well-known
trademark in the United Kingdom and contributes to the success of PPL. If unable to use the Snooper trademark in the United Kingdom or in other areas where PPL is expanding its business, the results of operations could be adversely affected.

The Company licenses patents for use in certain of our products, particularly navigation products. If the patents are challenged, or third parties claim
that products infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others, the Company may incur significant costs to defend its intellectual property rights and may not ultimately be successful. If any products are determined to have infringed upon
the intellectual property rights of others, the Company may face substantial damages as well as injunctive relief which could effectively block our ability to market these products in the United States and abroad. Such a judgment could materially
harm the business.

Profitability and financial condition depends on the Companys ability to collect on amounts due from customers.

The Company has significant accounts receivable due from customers. It is not uncommon for a customer to suspend payments of amounts due if the
customer experiences operational difficulties. A customer experiencing severe operational difficulties may file for bankruptcy. In these cases, the Company may be unable to collect on that customers outstanding accounts receivable balance. The
failure of our customers to pay amounts due could negatively affect the financial condition and results of operations.

Secured credit facility contains
restrictive covenants and our failure to comply with those restrictions could result in a default, which could have a material adverse effect on the business.

The secured credit facility is our principal source of available liquidity, other than cash generated by operations. As of December 31, 2006, we had $16.7 million of outstanding indebtedness under our credit facility. The credit
facility contains a number of significant restrictions that limit our ability to, among other things, do the following:



| |  |  | incur additional indebtedness;
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | make capital expenditures and other investments;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | grant liens on assets; or
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | merge, consolidate or dispose of our assets.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------

The
secured credit facility also requires compliance with certain financial covenants. A breach of the covenants contained in the credit facility could result in any outstanding indebtedness under the credit facility becoming immediately due and payable
and in our inability to borrow additional funds under the credit facility, either of which could adversely affect our business.

Sales of products are subject to seasonal variations and, as a result, the quarterly operating results may fluctuate
and may not be a reliable indicator of future performance.

Because mass retail accounts make up an increasing portion of the business, we have
experienced a shift in orders from the third quarter to the fourth quarter when mass retailers normally begin purchasing for the holiday selling season. Consequently, you should not rely on our results of operations during any particular quarter as
an indication of our results for a full year or any other quarter. In addition, if investors inaccurately estimate our results of operations in one or more future quarters and our operating results fall below expectations, our stock price may
decline.

The price of our common stock may be subject to sudden decreases due to the inherent volatility of operating and competitive factors.

The market price of the Companys common stock may be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors. The market
price of our common stock is dependent upon, but not limited to:



| |  |  | press releases or publicity relating to the Company or its competitors or relating to trends in the consumer electronics industry;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in the legal or regulatory environment affecting the business;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in expectations as to future financial performance, including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the operating and stock performance of other companies that investors may deem comparable;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | developments affecting us, customers or suppliers; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | general domestic or international economic, market and political conditions.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

These factors may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance, and could prevent our stockholders from selling their common stock at or above the price at
which they purchased it. In addition, the stock markets from time to time experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies. In the past, some stockholders have
brought securities class action lawsuits against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. We may in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation, regardless of whether we are
ultimately successful, could result in substantial costs and divert managements attention and resources.

The loss of key members of management
and technical team may adversely affect the business.

The Companys success depends on the performance of key management, sales, technical and
other critical personnel and the ability to continue to attract, motivate and retain management and highly qualified key personnel. Failure to do so could disrupt operations, adversely affect customer relationships and impair the ability to
successfully implement and complete Company initiatives. The loss of any services of any key management or technical personnel could make it more difficult to successfully pursue business goals. In addition, the Company may not be as successful as
its competitors at recruiting, assimilating and retaining key personnel.

Performance depends on favorable relations with employees and the ability to attract and retain them. Any
deterioration of those relations, increase in labor costs or inability to attract and retain employees could adversely affect our business.

Any
significant deterioration in employee relations, increases in labor costs or shortages of labor at any facility could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. As of December 31, 2006, none
of the employees were covered by collective bargaining agreements. A slowdown or work stoppage at one facility that lasts for a significant period of time could cause lost sales and increased costs and could adversely affect the Companys
ability to meet customers needs.

Business could be adversely affected by a disruption to the Chicago, Illinois facilitys operations.

The Chicago, Illinois facility accounts for approximately 80.8 percent of the total space utilized by the Company. Therefore, any disruption to our
operations at this facility could adversely impact our performance and impair our ability to deliver products and services to customers on a timely basis. The operations at the Chicago, Illinois facility could be disrupted in the event of:



| |  |  | damage to, or inoperability of, its warehouse;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a hardware or software error, failure or crash;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a power or telecommunications failure; or
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | fire, flood or other natural disaster.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------

Any
disruption could damage the Companys reputation and cause customers to cease purchasing products from the Company. The Company could be subject to claims or litigation with respect to these losses. The Companys property and business
interruption insurance may not adequately compensate for all losses we may incur.

Damage to or disruptions in the operations of the computer
infrastructure and software systems could harm the business.

The unavailability of any of our information management systems for any significant period
of time could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In particular, our ability to deliver products to our customers when needed, collect receivables and manage inventory levels successfully largely depends on the efficient operation of
our computer hardware and software systems. All information management systems are potentially vulnerable to damage or interruption from a variety of sources, including but not limited to computer viruses, security breaches, energy blackouts,
natural disasters, terrorism, war and telecommunication failures. There also may be system or network disruptions if new or upgraded business management systems are defective or are not installed properly. Any system failure or security breach could
negatively impact the business and results of operations. In addition, we may incur additional costs to remedy the damages caused by these system failures or security breaches.

Internal controls over financial reporting may not be considered effective, which could result in possible regulatory
sanctions and a decline in the stock price.

Beginning with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002 requires us to furnish annually a report on our internal controls over financial reporting, beginning with that Annual Report on Form 10-K. The internal control report must contain an assessment by our management of the effectiveness of
our internal controls over financial reporting (including the disclosure of any material weakness) and if the Companys market capitalization (excluding insider holdings) exceeds $75 million at June 30, 2007, a statement that our
independent auditors have attested to and reported on managements evaluation of such internal controls will be required. Effective for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, the independent auditors will be required to attest to and
report on managements evaluation of internal controls. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting. In order for management
to evaluate our internal controls, the Company must regularly review and document its internal control processes and procedures and test such controls. Ultimately, the Company or its independent auditors could conclude that our internal control over
financial reporting may not be effective if, among others things:



| |  |  | any material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting exist; or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | assessed deficiencies are not remediated
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------

Due to the
number of controls to be examined, the complexity of the project, and the subjectivity involved in determining the effectiveness of controls, we cannot be certain that, in the future, all of our controls will be considered effective by management
or, if considered effective by our management, that our auditors will agree with such assessment.

If, as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the
Company is unable to assert that its internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if the auditors are unable to attest that managements report is fairly stated or they are unable to express an opinion on managements
evaluation, the Company could be subject to regulatory sanctions or lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of the financial reports, either of which could have an adverse effect on the market price for the Companys common
stock.

The Company may be unable to successfully consolidate and integrate the operations of businesses acquired, which may adversely affect the
Companys stock price, operating results and financial condition.

The Company must consolidate and integrate the operations of acquired businesses
with our business. Recently, the Company completed the acquisition of Performance Products Limited, (PPL) a consumer electronics company based in the United Kingdom. The success of any acquisition, including the acquisition of PPL, will
depend on our ability to integrate assets acquired and personnel in these transactions. Integration efforts often take a significant amount of time, place a significant strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources and could prove to
be more difficult and expensive than we predicted. The diversion of our managements attention and any delays or difficulties encountered in connection with any acquisitions, including the acquisition of PPL, and any future acquisitions that
may consummated, could result in the disruption of the ongoing business or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that could negatively affect the ability to maintain relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and
others with whom the Company has business dealings.

|* | Reflects the acquisition of Performance Products Limited (PPL) on October 20, 2006
|- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Item 7.  Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Executive Summary

For 2006, the Company reported a 15.5 percent increase in net sales to $153.7 million from $133.1
million in 2005. The increase reflected strong performance in the Cobra business segment, particularly its Mobile Navigation and Detection products. Also contributing to the increase in net sales was $2.7 million from the Companys other
business segment, Performance Products, Limited (PPL), which the Company acquired in late October 2006. The Companys gross margin decreased to 19.5 percent from 25.6 percent in 2005 primarily due to the acquisition of new software
for mobile navigation and the impact of lower selling prices on Cobras first generation handheld GPS and Mobile Navigation products, which resulted in $2.8 million of impairment charges for certain intellectual property and $2.3 million in
charges for inventory write downs pertaining to these products. The Companys selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.0 million, or 6.6 percent, but were down as a percentage of net sales, 21.2 percent compared to 23.0 percent
in 2005. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses reflected $1.6 million of selling, general and administrative expenses for PPL, as well as professional fees of $388,000 the Company incurred to assist with accounting and
regulatory matters pertaining to this acquisition. Cobra also had increased selling expenses because of higher sales. These increases were offset in part by a $767,000 reduction in Cobras bonus and profit sharing expense as a result of the
decision not to pay bonuses or profit sharing in 2006 based on the Companys performance.

##### Table of Contents

Other income for the Company decreased $10.1 million in 2006 due to 2005 gains from non-recurring events including a $7.2
million gain associated with payment of a death benefit from life insurance maintained by the Company to fund a deferred compensation plan for the Companys former president and chief executive officer, and a $1.9 million gain from the sale of
unimproved property located adjacent to the Companys office and warehouse facility in Chicago. Interest expense increased by $390,000 in 2006 as a result of the debt incurred to acquire PPL.

The Company had a net loss in 2006 of $1.6 million, or a net loss of $0.25 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $12.0 million, or $1.81 per diluted share, for
2005. The income tax benefit for 2006 reflected a 47.0 percent effective tax rate compared to an effective tax rate of 11.8 percent for 2005s tax provision. The effective tax rate for 2005 was substantially lower due to the non-taxable
effect of the gain on life insurance proceeds and the R&D tax credit.

The Company anticipates higher revenues in 2007 mainly because of higher sales
of Cobra Mobile Navigation products, resulting from the introduction of new models and increased national distribution, and the favorable impact of a full year of sales from PPL.

Cobra Business Segment

Cobras net sales increased $17.9 million, or 13.4 percent, from the prior year. The increase was due mainly to higher sales of Mobile Navigation products, which increased 147.8 percent, and higher sales of
Detection products, which increased 22.1 percent. The increase in Mobile Navigation net sales was due primarily to large sales of two Cobra Mobile Navigation models, including the new NAV ONE 2200, to QVC, a major television home shopping retailer.
Strong demand for Cobras new 12 Band models and expanded placement at Wal-Mart were mainly responsible for the increase in Detection. These increases were offset in part by an approximate 11 percent decline in Two-Way Radio net sales in
North America, which reflected slightly lower unit sales and a 9.8 percent drop in average selling prices due to overall higher household penetration as these markets mature, and lower Citizens Band radio net sales resulting from a decline in
purchases by Radio Shack as well as the negative effect of high fuel prices on the discretionary income of professional drivers.

In 2006, Cobra
experienced a pre-tax segment loss of $2.5 million compared to a pre-tax segment profit of $13.6 million in 2005, which included $10.1 million of gains from four non-recurring events. Absent these gains, the overall $5.9 million decline in
segment profit from 2005 reflected primarily a decrease in gross margin as well as higher selling, general and administrative expenses and interest expense.

Gross margin decreased to 19.0 percent in 2006 from 25.6 percent in 2005. The decrease was due mainly to the obsolescence of intellectual property upon Cobra Electronics acquisition of new intellectual property for future Mobile
Navigation products and the impact of lower selling prices on Cobra Electronics first generation

##### Table of Contents

handheld GPS and Mobile Navigation products, which resulted in $2.8 million of impairment charges for certain intellectual property and $2.3 million in
charges for inventory write downs pertaining to these first generation products. Together these charges reduced gross margin by approximately 3.4 points.

Additionally, gross margin was reduced by approximately 1.7 points by a significant decline in domestic two-way radio gross margin as a result of higher vendor costs, due to commodity price increases and fewer vendors producing two-way
radios, lower selling prices, which fell 13 percent during 2006 as pricing pressures continued in this maturing category, and increased air freight of $538,000 mainly because of production delays earlier in the year. Lastly, gross profit for 2005
included a $724,000 reduction in cost of sales from the termination of the development agreement with Horizon Navigation, Inc. This benefit increased gross margin in 2005 by approximately 0.5 points.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $395,000 in 2006 due to $747,000 of increased selling expenses, mainly because of higher sales, and $388,000 of
professional fees incurred by the Company to assist with accounting and regulatory matters pertaining to the PPL acquisition. These increases were partly offset by a $767,000 reduction in Cobras bonus and profit sharing expense, which was due
to the Companys decision not to pay bonuses or profit sharing in 2006 based on Cobra Electronics segments performance in 2006, and a $320,000 increase in the reversal of unused accrued marketing program funds from prior periods.

Interest expense increased $385,000 in 2006 because of higher working capital requirements and debt taken on with the purchase of PPL.

In 2005 there were four significant non-recurring events, included in the Cobra Electronics segment profit, which resulted in $10.1 million of gains. The first was a
$7.2 million gain (that was non-taxable, except for alternative minimum tax) associated with the payment of a death benefit from life insurance maintained by the Company to fund a deferred compensation plan for the Companys former president
and chief executive officer. The Company maintains insurance policies on the lives of certain current and former senior executives to provide a mechanism to pay retirement benefits under its deferred compensation plans and recoup the cost through
death benefits. The Company also realized a $1.9 million gain from the sale of unimproved property located adjacent to its office and warehouse facility in Chicago. In addition, 2005 included a gain of $299,000 on a lump-sum payment in settlement of
the deferred compensation obligation to the estate of the former president and chief executive officer. Finally, as noted above, the Company had a reduction in cost of $724,000 in connection with the termination of the development agreement with
Horizon.

Performance Products Business Segment

On October 20, 2006, the Company acquired Performance Products Limited, a privately-held designer and marketer of GPS-enabled speed camera detection systems and personal navigation devices for the consumer market which is based in the
United Kingdom. Accordingly, the results discussed herein include only those for the period from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2006.

PPL had net sales of $2.7 million and a pre-tax segment loss of $580,000 for the period. Contributing to the segment loss was lower than expected net sales and gross margin. There was a significant shortfall in sales of satellite navigation
systems. These sales were negatively impacted by the failure of a new vendor to deliver, for the critical holiday selling season, a key new product, the SNP 250. Gross margin was lower due to an exchange loss of $68,000, as PPL purchases inventory
in U.S. dollars, as well as to a higher percentage of sales to European customers outside the United Kingdom, which have a lower gross margin.

Also
contributing to the segment loss was $272,000 of other expense, which included approximately $200,000 of losses on foreign exchange contracts for the sale of pounds sterling and the purchase of U.S. dollars. As each contract matures, the loss
associated with it will be reversed.

Income Taxes

The income tax benefit of $1.4 million for 2006 reflected a 47.0 percent effective tax rate compared to an effective tax rate of 11.8 percent for 2005s tax provision of $1.6 million. The effective tax rate for 2006 was higher than the
combined U.S. statutory rate of 36.6 percent because of the effect of the R&D tax credit, which increases the effective tax rate when there is a pretax loss. The effective tax rate for 2005 was substantially lower than the combined U.S.
statutory rate of 38.2 percent due to the non-taxable effect of the gain on life insurance proceeds and R&D tax credit, which represented eleven prior years of credit.

2005 Compared to 2004

In 2005 and 2004, the Company
operated in only one business segment, consumer electronics. Accordingly, the results of operations discussed below are those of that one business segment.

The $10.2 million increase in net sales in 2005 from $122.9 million to $133.1 million, resulted primarily from higher sales in Detection and Citizens Band radios. Detection sales benefited from the addition in 2005 of two major new radar
customers, Radio Shack and Sears, as well as strong sales to two of the Companys largest existing Detection customers, Best Buy and Wal-Mart. The increase in sales of Citizen Band radios was due to strong sales to distributors driven by
increased promotional activities by distributors with their customers. Ten Meter radios, a new product line in 2005, also contributed to the overall sales increase in 2005. Offsetting these increases in part were lower unit sales of two-way radios,
mainly because of a major customers declining two-way business, and handheld GPS models as the Company was discontinuing this line at this time.

Gross margin decreased to 25.6 percent from 26.2 percent in 2004 primarily due to lower net pricing on older mobile navigation models because of the introduction of the NAV ONE 4500 and NAV ONE 4000 with significant new features. Also
contributing to the gross margin decline were lower margins on the sale of radar detectors to several customers which require minimal program dollars for advertising and sales promotion activities, thus offsetting the lower margin with lower
variable selling expenses. Partially offsetting these margin declines were gains on foreign exchange contracts for the sale of euros and the purchase of U.S. dollars that totaled $501,000 as well as a $724,000 reduction in cost of sales from the
termination of the development agreement with Horizon. In connection with the termination of this agreement, the Company had previously identified alternative technology platforms for its mobile navigation products. To compensate the Company for the
loss of the Horizon platform for future products, Horizon refunded to Cobra certain development fees previously paid and released Cobra from the obligation to pay royalties on remaining sales of products using the Horizon platform. After recognizing
the impact of the termination of the development and license agreement on the intangible assets associated with the Horizon platform, the net benefit was recorded as a reduction of cost of sales from the Horizon settlement.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.3 million, or 8.0 percent, and declined slightly as a percentage of net sales, 23.0 percent in 2005 compared to
23.1 percent in 2004. The increase reflected increased selling expenses because of higher sales as well as increases in expenses associated with the Companys new ERP system, which was placed in service on January 1, 2005, and a $727,000
increase in professional fees, primarily associated with Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 consulting, domestic and international trademark legal work and tax work related to the research and development tax credits. Partially offsetting these
increases was a decrease in R&D expense.

Expenses associated with the new ERP system amounted to $775,000 in 2005 and were primarily related to help
desk support consulting, hardware and software hosting, software maintenance and amortization of software and implementation costs. In 2004, expenses related to the Companys new ERP system amounted to approximately $290,000 and included
consulting and temporary help, travel, meals and training. It is expected that the costs related to the ERP system incurred in 2005 will continue into 2006 and then moderate in subsequent periods.

R&D expense decreased in 2005 by $601,000. The decrease was due to the capitalization in 2005 of certain engineering expenses for mobile navigation software
development in accordance with SFAS No. 86,

##### Table of Contents

Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed as the Company has devoted more internal resources to mobile
navigation product development and significantly reducing its reliance on third-party contractors in order to build a stronger proprietary position in the rapidly growing market for mobile navigation products. It is expected that these expenses will
continue to increase as resources are added to support the Companys anticipated growth of its mobile navigation business.

Interest expense of
$89,000 for 2005 was $21,000 less than for 2004, due to lower average debt outstanding during 2005.

The $10.1 million increase in other income in 2005,
compared to 2004, resulted primarily from the two significant events, which occurred in the first quarter of 2005. The first was a $7.2 million gain (that is non-taxable, except for alternative minimum tax) associated with the payment of a death
benefit from life insurance maintained by the Company to fund a deferred compensation plan for the Companys former president and chief executive officer. The Company maintains insurance policies on the lives of certain current and former
senior executives to provide a mechanism to pay retirement benefits under its deferred compensation plans and recoup the cost through death benefits. The Company also realized a $1.9 million gain from the sale of unimproved property located adjacent
to its office and warehouse facility in Chicago. Also contributing to the increase was a gain of $299,000 on a lump-sum payment in settlement of the deferred compensation obligation to the estate of the Companys former president and chief
executive officer.

For 2005, income tax expense increased by $103,000, while the effective tax rate decreased to 11.8 percent from 38.6 percent in 2004.
The lower effective tax rate was due to the non-taxable effect of the gain on life insurance proceeds and a R&D tax credit, which represented eleven prior years of credit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On January 31,
2002, the Company executed a new three-year Revolving Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement) with three financial institutions. In November 2005 the term of the agreement was amended to January 31, 2007. In October 2006, in connection
with the PPL acquisition, the Credit Agreement was amended and restated for a five-year term and maximum loan limit of $53.6 million, including the $40 million revolver, and a $7.0 million Term Loan. The balance of $6.6 million is for a Delayed-Draw
Term Loan available until November 15, 2007 that can only be used to fund the first earn out payment of up to approximately $6.6 million under the PPL purchase agreement which is contingent upon PPLs operating performance for the
twelve-month period ending March 31, 2007. At the Companys option, the revolver may be increased to $50 million upon sixty days advance notice. Borrowings and letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement are secured by
substantially all of the assets of the Company.

The credit agreement continues to allow the Company to pay dividends and distributions on its stock, and
repurchases of its stock, up to $1.2 million per calendar year.

The credit agreement contains certain financial and other covenants, including but not
limited to, a Tangible Net Worth Minimum, a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and a Debt-to-EBITDA Ratio, which may cause the applicable interest rate to increase or decrease after September 30, 2007. The revolver portion of the credit agreement is
also subject to an unused line fee of 37.5 basis points while the Delayed-Draw Term Loan is subject to a non-use fee of 62.5 basis points. Loans outstanding on the revolver currently bear interest, at the Companys option, at prime rate plus 25
basis points or LIBOR plus 175 basis points. The Company has elected the LIBOR option on the $7.0 million Term Loan and has subsequently entered into a 5-year interest rate swap in January 2007, as required by the credit agreement, which effectively
fixes the total interest rate at 5.34 percent plus applicable basis points, currently 175 points, or a total interest rate of 7.09 percent. The $7.0 million Term Loan and the Delayed-Draw Term Loan are subject to quarterly installment payments and
mandatory prepayments based on certain asset sales, excess cash flow and issuance of equity or debt.

##### Table of Contents

At December 31, 2006, the Company had interest bearing debt outstanding of $16.7 million, consisting of the $6.8
million term loan and $9.9 million in the Revolver. As of December 31, 2006, availability was approximately $16.0 million under the revolving credit line based on asset advance formulas.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Operating cash flows were impacted by the add-back of
non-cash charges related to depreciation and amortization of $5.8 million and impairment of product software of $2.8 million. Operating cash flows benefited from a decrease in receivables of $2.6 million and an increase in deferred compensation of
$796,000. These inflows were partially offset by an increase in inventories of $4.7 million, an increase in other current assets of $1.5 million and a net loss of $1.6 million.

Depreciation and amortization included $2.0 million of product software amortization mainly for COBRA brand mobile navigation products, $528,000 of amortization for ERP internal software and $500,000 of PPL
amortization of intangibles and other assets that resulted from the allocation of the purchase price for PPL in accordance with SFAS No. 141. Impairment of product software resulted from the impact of lower selling prices on first generation
COBRA brand handheld GPS and Mobile Navigation products and an impairment adjustment for the obsolescence of intellectual property because the Company acquired new intellectual property to support future Mobile Navigation products. The decrease in
receivables reflected the terms of sale for certain customers that had greater sales in 2006 than in 2005. Deferred compensation increased because in 2005 there was a lump-sum payment in settlement of the deferred compensation obligation to the
estate of a former president and chief executive officer. Inventories increased because of an increase in PPLs inventory since the date of acquisitionmainly because of products that had been delayed due to vendor issues and increases in
detection inventory in anticipation of strong demand in the first quarter of 2007 and in mobile navigation inventory, mostly older models that will be sold early in 2007. Intangible assets increased primarily because of costs incurred for product
software development in connection with the Companys development of COBRA brand mobile navigation products. The Company expects that costs for mobile navigation product software development will continue in 2007 and beyond. Additionally, the
amortization of these product software assets is also expected to increase in future years. Other assets increased because of higher expenditures on packaging and outside design for new products to be introduced in 2007, particularly mobile
navigation and detection products, as well as prepaid loan fees incurred in connection with the credit agreement that was restated and amended in late 2006 to provide funding for the acquisition of PPL.

Working capital requirements are seasonal, with demand for working capital being higher later in the year as customers begin purchasing for the holiday selling season.
The Company believes that cash generated from operations and from borrowings under its credit agreement will be sufficient in 2007 to fund its working capital needs.

Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $23.9 million in 2006, principally because the Company acquired all of PPLs outstanding stock for cash consideration of $21.9 million (plus two earnout payments
contingent upon PPLs operating performance for the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2007 and the fourteen months ending May 31, 2008). The Company also had expenditures of $1.6 million primarily for the purchase of tooling and
expenditures of $3.4 million to acquire intangible assets. In addition, cash of $3.4 million was provided from Horizons loan repayment including all accrued interest. The repayment was part of an agreement between the Company and Horizon,
effective December 31, 2005, to terminate their development and license agreement.

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $15.5
million and resulted mainly from borrowings to finance the PPL acquisition. Cash of $490,000 was also provided by the President and Chief Executive Officers repayment of his loan to the Company consisting of $400,000 principal and $90,000 of
accrued interest, on July 14, 2006. The Company also used cash for an annual dividend of $1 million paid in April 2006 and for the repurchase of $600,000 in common stock from the President and Chief Executive Officer in November 2006, at a
discounted price.

On February 22, 2007, the Companys Board of Directors approved an annual cash dividend of $0.16 per share
payable on April 27, 2007 to shareholders of record on April 13, 2007. The annual dividend payment for 2007 will approximate $1.0 million.

Company believes that for the foreseeable future, it will be able to continue to fund its operations and any payment of the earnout, contingent upon PPLs operating performance for the year ending March 31, 2007 with cash generated from
operations using existing or similar future bank credit agreements to fund its seasonal working capital needs, but will be determined on a yearly basis.

The Company
does not have any other significant long-term obligations, contractual obligations, lines of credit, standby letters of credit, standby repurchase obligations or other commercial commitments.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Companys
significant accounting policies are discussed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The application of certain of these policies requires significant judgments or a historical based estimation process that can affect the results of
operations and financial position of the Company as well as the related footnote disclosures. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that it believes are reasonable. If actual amounts ultimately differ from
previous estimates, the revisions are included in the Companys results of operations for the period in which the actual amounts become known.

Critical accounting policies generally consist of those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions. The accounting policies and
estimates that may have a significant impact upon the operating results, financial position and footnote disclosures of the Company are as follows:

Revenue Recognition.    Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized at the time of shipment, except for revenue from sales of products to certain customers whose contractual terms specify FOB destination. Revenue
from sales of products to these customers is recognized at the estimated time of receipt by the customer (estimated based on the average shipping time for all such customers), when title and risk of loss would pass to the customer. Obligations for
sales returns and allowances and product warranties are recognized at the time of sale on an accrual basis as described below.

Sales
Returns Reserve.    The Company has a policy that allows its customers to return product that was returned to them by their customers. The reserve reflects the sales, cost of sales and gross profit impact of expected returns
and related stock adjustments, as well as reduction in accounts receivable and increases in inventory for the amount of expected returns. The amount of the reserve is determined by multiplying the sales

and cost of sales by product category for the current quarter by historical return rates adjusted for any known changes in key variables affecting these
return rates. Thus, judgments must be made regarding whether current return rates will approximate anticipated return rates. This reserve will vary based on the changes in sales, gross margin and historical, as well as anticipated, return rates from
quarter to quarter.

Warranty Reserve.    The Company generally provides a one year consumer warranty for its
products and also allows its customers to return product that has been returned by their customers. Consequently, the Company maintains a warranty reserve, which reflects historical return rates by product category multiplied by the most recent six
months of unit sales and the unit standard cost of each model. The Company uses the most recent six months of unit sales in its estimate, as historical experience indicates that most returns will occur within six months of the Companys
original sale date. Therefore, judgments must be made based on historical return rates and how the returned product will be disposed of, either by liquidation or return to vendors for credit on new purchases. This reserve may vary based upon the
level of sales and changes in historical return rates from quarter to quarter as well as estimated costs of disposal, either liquidation prices or the credit given by vendors.

Liquidation Reserve.    The Company maintains a liquidation reserve representing the write-down of returned product from our
customers to its net realizable value. Returned inventory is either sold to various liquidators or returned to vendors for partial credit against similar, new models; this decision depends upon the estimated future demand for the models. Judgments
are made as to whether various models are to be liquidated or returned to the vendor, taking into consideration the liquidation prices expected to be received and the amount of vendor credit. The amount of the reserve is determined by comparing the
cost of each unit returned to the estimated amount to be realized upon each units disposition, either from returning the unit to the vendor for credit towards the cost of new, similar product or liquidating the unit. This reserve can fluctuate
significantly from quarter to quarter depending upon quantities of returned inventory on hand and the estimated liquidation price or vendor credit per unit.

Net Realizable Value Reserve.    The Company maintains a net realizable value reserve to write-down below cost, as necessary, certain inventory not previously sold to customers where it is
determined that net realizable value is less than cost. Thus, judgments must be made about which slow-moving, excess or non-current models are to be included in the reserve and the estimated net realizable value of such model (i.e., the per unit
price that it is estimated can be received in the marketplace if the model was sold). This reserve will vary depending upon the specific models selected, the estimated net realizable value for each model and quantities of each model that are
determined will be sold below cost from quarter to quarter.

Advertising and Sales Promotion Accrual.    The
advertising and sales promotion accrual reflects amounts provided to retailers and distributors for advertising and sales promotions. Customer programs, generally agreed to at the beginning of each year, are mainly variable programs dependent on
sales and may be revised during the course of the year, based upon a customers projected sales and other factors, such as new promotional opportunities. Accruals are made monthly for each customer by multiplying the customers estimated
program accrual percentage by the customers actual sales. Therefore, this accrual will vary quarter to quarter depending on a given quarters sales and the sales mix of customers. In addition, should a customer significantly exceed or
fall short of its planned program sales, negotiate changes to the term of the existing programs or add new ones, adjustments may need to be made to the customers estimated program accrual percentage due to certain minimum and/or maximum sales
thresholds in such customers programs. Periodic adjustments may also be necessary for unused customer funds.

Deferred
Compensation.    Obligations under the deferred compensation plans (most of which are non-qualified defined benefit plans) and annual deferred compensation expense are determined by a number of assumptions. Key assumptions in
the determination of obligations under the deferred compensation plans and annual deferred compensation expense include the discount rate and anticipated compensation for each individual covered by the plans, which in part is dependent upon the
anticipated future profitability of the Company. The discount rate for 2006 and 2005 was 7 percent. The compensation increase assumptions are

based on historical experience and anticipated future performance. The Company maintains life insurance policies for certain current and former executives to
provide funding for future obligations. As of December 31, 2006, the cash surrender value of the insurance policies in force for the Companys president and chief executive officer was $974,000.

Software Related to Products to be Sold.    The Company purchases and/or incurs costs in connection with the development of
software to be used in products that the Company intends to sell, mainly Mobile Navigation products. Such costs are capitalized and deferred as intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 86. Such costs consist of expenditures incurred after
technological feasibility of the software has been established either from a working model of the product developed, a detail design, or the purchase of computer software that has an alternative future use. Such costs which consist principally of
coding and related costs are charged to earnings based on the ratio of actual product sales during the reporting period to expected product sales over the estimated product life cycle. Software related intangible assets are reviewed at each balance
sheet date for possible impairment as required by paragraph 10 of SFAS No. 86, and, accordingly, if such review indicates that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable, the carrying amount is reduced to the estimated fair
value.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.    Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), the Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or if impairment indicators exist. For goodwill, the evaluation requires a comparison of estimated
fair value of PPL to which the goodwill has been assigned to the sum of the carrying value of the assets and liabilities of that unit. If the sum of the carrying value of the assets and liabilities of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of that
reporting unit, the carrying value of the reporting units goodwill is reduced to its implied fair value through an adjustment to the goodwill balance, resulting in an impairment charge.

The fair values used in the SFAS 142 evaluation are estimated based upon discounted future cash flow projections. These cash flow projections are based on a number of
assumptions, including risk-adjusted discount rates, future sales volumes, price levels and rates of increase in operating expenses. Management believes that the assumptions made in projecting future cash flows for the evaluations described above
are reasonable. However, if future actual results do not meet expectations, the Company may be required to record an impairment charge, the amount of which could be material to its results of operations.

Intangible assets subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144),which requires impairment testing whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an amortizable intangible asset may not be recoverable. If impairment
indicators exist for an amortizable intangible asset, the undiscounted future cash flows associated with the expected service potential of the asset are compared to the carrying value of the asset. If the projection of undiscounted future cash flows
is in excess of the carrying value of the intangible assets, no impairment charge is recorded. If the projection of undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the intangible asset, an impairment charge is recorded to reduce the
intangible asset to its fair value.

The above listing is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of the Companys accounting policies. In most
cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. See Note 1 to Cobras consolidated financial statements included under Item 8 of the
Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein by reference, for more information with respect to the Companys significant accounting policies.

New Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48) on July 13, 2006. FIN 48 clarifies SFAS
No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes by providing the criteria a tax position must satisfy for some or all of the tax benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and measure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect adoption of FIN 48 to have a material effect on its results of operations or financial position.

The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 108 Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Financial
Statements (SAB 108). Pursuant to SAB 108, a company will be required to quantify errors using both a balance sheet and income statement approach and restate prior period financial statements when either approach (as opposed to
only one approach) results in a material misstatement. Adoption of SAB 108 is not expected to impact the Company.

Effective January 1, 2006, the
Company adopted the fair value recognition provision of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R) using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost
recognized includes compensation costs for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not vested as of January 1, 2006 based on the fair value at grant date estimated in accordance with SFAS 123. The Company has not awarded stock-based
compensation to employees, officers or directors during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2006. The stock-based compensation expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 totaled $48,000. In accordance with SFAS 123R,
results for prior years have not been restated.

Item 7A.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risks related
to changes in foreign currency exchange risks and interest rates are inherent to the Companys operations. Changes to these factors could cause fluctuations in the Companys net earnings, cash flows and the fair values of financial
instruments subject to market risks. The Company identifies theses risks and mitigates the financial impact with hedging and interest rate swaps.

Debt
incurred under a revolving loan agreement with a balance of $9.9 million as of December 31, 2006 is priced at an interest rate that floats with the market. Therefore, this debt is not significantly affected by changes in the interest rate market.
Also, the Company has $6.8 million of debt as of December 31, 2006 with a fixed rate of interest. Accordingly, fair value of this fixed-rate debt can be significantly affected by changes in the interest rate market.

The Companys suppliers are located in China, Hong Kong, Italy, the Philippines, South Korea and Thailand.

In 2006, approximately 13.4 percent of the Companys sales were outside the United States, principally in Europe and Canada, compared to 13.5 percent in 2005. The
Company minimizes the foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with relationships outside of the United States by conducting all of its transactions in U.S. dollars, except for some billings of its European business, which are conducted in
euros and the billings of PPL which are primarily in pound sterling. The Company does not use derivative financial or commodity instruments for trading or speculative purposes, however, forward contracts are occasionally used for hedging a portion
of the Companys European business euro denominated transactions and hedging dollar purchases for PPL. Please refer to Note 5 in the financial statements, included under Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is
incorporated herein by reference, for further information on the Companys financial instruments and derivatives. A 10 percent movement in the U.S. dollar/pound sterling exchange rate on the forward contracts outstanding at December 31,
2006 would result in approximately a $775,000 annual increase or decrease in cost of sales and cash flows.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Cobra Electronics Corporation

Years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

BusinessCobra designs and markets consumer electronics products,
which it sells primarily under the Cobra brand name principally in the United States, Canada and Europe. Effective October 20, 2006, the Company acquired PPL and sells its products under the Snooper tradename, principally in the United Kingdom,
as well as elsewhere in Europe. A majority of the Companys products are purchased from overseas suppliers, primarily in China, Hong Kong, Italy, the Philippines, South Korea and Thailand. The consumer electronics market is characterized by
rapidly changing technology and certain products may have limited life cycles. Management believes that it maintains strong relationships with its current suppliers and that, if necessary, other suppliers could be found. The extent to which a change
in a supplier would have an adverse effect on the Companys business depends on the timing of the change, the product or products that the supplier produces for the Company and the volume of that production. The Company also maintains insurance
coverage that would, in certain limited circumstances, reimburse the Company for lost profits resulting from a suppliers inability to fulfill its commitments to the Company.

Principles of ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Effective October 20, 2006, the consolidated financial statements also
include a variable interest entity (VIE) of which Performance Products Limited is the primary beneficiary as further described in Note 20, Variable Interest Entity. The consolidated entities are collectively referred to as the
Company. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Translation of Foreign
CurrencyAssets and liabilities of consolidated foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at year-end. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Gains
or losses on foreign currency transactions and the related tax effects are reflected in net earnings. The resulting translation adjustments are included in stockholders equity as accumulated comprehensive income.

Use of EstimatesThe preparation of 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period that are largely based on the current business conditions, including economic climate, revenue growth, sales returns rates, net realizable value of returned products and changes in certain working capital amounts. The
Company believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable. However, actual results and the timing of the recognition of such amounts could differ from those estimates.

Accounts ReceivableThe majority of the Companys accounts receivable are due from retailers and two-step distributors. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customers financial
condition, including, at times the availability of credit insurance, and, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are due within various time periods specified in the terms applicable to the specific customer and are stated at
amounts due from customers net of an allowance for claims and doubtful accounts.

The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors,
including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Companys previous loss history, the customers current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, availability of credit insurance and the condition of the
general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance for claims and doubtful accounts when they are judged to be uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are
credited to customer claims or bad debt expense.

InventoriesInventories are recorded at the lower of cost, on a first-in, first-out basis, or market.

Advertising and Sales Promotion ExpensesThese costs reflect amounts provided to retailers and distributors for advertising and sales
promotions and are expensed as incurred. Customer programs, generally agreed to at the beginning of each year, are mainly variable programs dependent on sales and special promotional events and may be revised during the course of the year, based
upon a customers projected sales and other factors, such as new, or changes to existing, promotional programs. Advertising and sales promotion expenses for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 totaled $7.5 million, $6.1
million and $5.9 million, respectively.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)The Company reports comprehensive income under the provisions of
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise from transactions and other events from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income
includes net earnings and other non-owner changes in equity that bypass the statement of operations and are reported in a separate component of equity. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, other comprehensive income includes
only one component, which is the change in the foreign currency translation adjustment.

Concentration of Credit RiskThe Company has evaluated
its concentration of credit risk as it applies both to customers and to the institutions with which it places cash investments.

The Company believes that
its concentration of credit risk as it applies to customers is low due to its broad customer base in all regions of the United States, as well as other areas in North America and Europe. Currently, the Company is not using credit insurance for any
of its accounts although such coverage is evaluated regularly in light of managements judgment of credit risk and the expense to acquire such insurance.

The Company places temporary cash investments with institutions of high credit quality. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had approximately $1.9 million ($1.6 million was on deposit in foreign banks) and $6.7 million
($600,000 was on deposit in foreign banks), respectively, on deposit with such financial institutions, of which $1.8 million and $6.6 million, respectively, were in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company
performs periodic evaluations of these institutions for relative credit standing and has not experienced any losses as a result of this concentration. Consequently, no significant concentration of credit risk is considered to exist.

DepreciationDepreciation of buildings, improvements, tooling and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful
lives. Depreciation expense totaled $1.7 million for 2006, $1.8 million for 2005, and $2.1 million for 2004.



|                      |  |

|Classification        |  | Life           
|Buildings             |  | 30 years       
|Building improvements |  | 20 years       
|Motor vehicles        |  | 2  5 years    
|Equipment             |  | 5  10 years   
|Tools, dies and molds |  | 1.5  4.5 years

Long-Lived AssetsLong-lived assets are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events indicate that
the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If such a review indicates impairment, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to an estimated fair value.

Goodwill and Other Intangible AssetsPursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), the Company evaluates goodwill
for impairment on an annual basis or if impairment indicators exist. For goodwill, the evaluation requires a comparison of the estimated fair value of Performance Products Limited (PPL) to which the goodwill has been assigned to the sum
of the carrying value of the assets and liabilities of that unit. If the sum of the carrying value of the assets



36



---

##### Table of Contents

and liabilities of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of that reporting unit, the carrying value of the reporting units goodwill is reduced to its
implied fair value through an adjustment to the goodwill balance, resulting in an impairment charge.

The fair values used in the SFAS 142 evaluation are
estimated based upon discounted future cash flow projections. These cash flow projections are based on a number of assumptions, including risk-adjusted discount rates, future sales volumes, price levels and rates of increase in operating expenses.
Management believes that the assumptions made in projecting future cash flows for the evaluations described above are reasonable. However, if future actual results do not meet expectations, the Company may be required to record an impairment charge,
the amount of which could be material to its results of operations.

Intangible assets subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment pursuant to
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144),which requires impairment testing whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of an amortizable intangible asset may not be recoverable. If impairment indicators exist for an amortizable intangible asset, the undiscounted future cash flows associated with the expected service potential of the asset are compared to the
carrying value of the asset. If the projection of undiscounted future cash flows is in excess of the carrying value of the intangible assets, no impairment charge is recorded. If the projection of undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying
value of the intangible asset, an impairment charge is recorded to reduce the intangible asset to its fair value.

Amortization of intangible assets is
computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives.



|                           |  |           
|-------------------------- |  | ----------
|Classification             |  | Life

|Enigma Database            |  | 5 years   
|Noncompetition Agreements  |  | 3 years   
|Customer Relationships     |  | 10 years  
|ERP System                 |  | 7 years   

Amortization expense relating to intangible assets subject to amortization (excluding product software) totaled
$935,000 in 2006, $384,000 in 2005 and $264,000 in 2004.

Loan ReceivableOn January 8, 2003, the Company entered into a loan agreement
with Horizon Navigation, Inc. (Horizon) a California corporation and vendor to the Company, that was subsequently modified on February 6, 2003. Horizon was permitted to borrow up to $2 million per annum, at Cobras discretion,
up to an aggregate amount of $6 million at December 31, 2005. The loan accrued interest at a variable rate at a fixed margin above the prime rate. The loan agreement provided that the interest would be added to the principal amount of the loan.
The principal amount of the loan and all accrued interest were paid in full at maturity as of January 3, 2006.

In connection with the repayment of
the loan, Cobra and Horizon agreed to terminate their development and license agreement. As part of the agreement, Horizon refunded a portion of previously paid development fees and released Cobra from the obligation to pay royalties on the sale of
products using the Horizon platform. The termination of the Horizon agreement resulted in a net benefit of $724,000 that was recorded as a reduction to cost of sales in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Certain amounts of callable and non-callable warrants to purchase shares of common stock of Horizon were issued to the Company each time the Company made a loan to
Horizon in excess of specified amounts. Based on Horizons financial performance, the Company assigned no value to these warrants. During the first nine months of 2005, the Company adopted the equity method of accounting to recognize its
pro-rata share of Horizons

##### Table of Contents

pre-tax losses. The termination of the Horizon agreement and the repayment in full of the loan from Cobra resulted in a gain in the fourth quarter 2005 as
losses previously recognized under the equity method of accounting were offset.

Research, Engineering and Product Development
ExpendituresResearch and product development expenditures, as well as the non-capitalized engineering costs, are expensed as incurred and amounted to $1.9 million in 2006, $1.8 million in 2005 and $2.4 million in 2004. Beginning in
2005, certain engineering costs associated with the development of mobile navigation products were capitalized in accordance with SFAS No. 86.

Shipping & HandlingShipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold, and the amounts invoiced to customers relating to shipping and handling are included in net sales.

Software Related to Products SoldThe Company purchases and/or incurs costs in connection with the development of software to be used in products that the
Company intends to sell, mainly Mobile Navigation products. Such costs are capitalized and deferred as intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 86, Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise
Marketed. Such costs consist of expenditures incurred after technological feasibility of the software has been established and a working model of the product developed and consist principally of coding and related costs. Such costs are charged
to earnings based on the ratio of actual product sales during the reporting period to expected product sales over the estimated product life cycle. In 2005, certain engineering costs associated with the development of Mobile Navigation products were
capitalized in accordance with SFAS No. 86, as Cobra expanded its internal capabilities and reduced its reliance on outside contractors. Software related intangible assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date for possible impairment as
required by paragraph 10 of SFAS No. 86, and, accordingly, if such review indicates that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable, the carrying amount is reduced to the estimated fair value.

ERP System CostsThe Company capitalizes certain costs associated with ERP software developed or obtained for internal use in accordance with Statement of
Position No. 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. The Companys policy provides for the capitalization of external direct costs of materials and services associated with
developing or obtaining internal use ERP software. Capitalized costs are classified as intangible assets. Costs associated with preliminary project activities and training are expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs related to ERP software developed
or obtained for internal use are amortized over a seven year period on a straight-line basis when the relevant ERP software is placed in service. Capitalized costs are classified as intangible assets.

Stock-Based CompensationThe Company has equity-based compensation plans from which stock-based compensation awards can be granted to eligible employees,
officers or directors.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its equity-based awards in accordance with the recognition and measurement
provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), and related interpretations, as permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
(SFAS No. 123). The Company did not recognize stock-based compensation cost in its Consolidated Statement of Operations prior to January 1, 2006, since the options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of
the common stock on the grant date.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provision of SFAS No. 123 (revised
2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R) using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized includes compensation costs for all share-based payments granted prior to,
but not vested as of January 1, 2006 based on the fair value at grant date estimated in accordance with SFAS 123. The Company has not awarded stock-based compensation to employees, officers or directors during the twelve-month period ended
December 31, 2006. The stock-based compensation expense for the

twelve months ended December 31, 2006 totaled $48,000. In accordance with SFAS 123R, results for prior years have not been restated.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and the assumptions at December 31, 2006 and
2005 are shown in the following table:



|                        |  |           |   |  |           |

|Expected volatility     |  | 41  43   | % |  | 42  45   | %

The effect on earnings and earnings per share if the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R were applied
to the twelve months ending December 31, 2005 and 2004 is shown in the following table:

Income TaxesThe Company provides for income taxes under the asset and liability method of accounting
for deferred income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the expected tax effects of future taxable income or deductions resulting from differences in the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. A
valuation allowance is recorded when necessary to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount considered more likely than not to be realized.

Revenue
RecognitionRevenue from the sale of goods is recognized at the time of shipment, except for revenue from sales of products to certain of those customers whose contractual terms specify FOB destination. Revenue from sales of products to
these customers is recognized at the estimated time of receipt by the customer (estimated based on the average shipping time for all such customers), when title and risk of loss would pass to the customer. Obligations for sales returns and
allowances and product warranties are recognized at the time of sale on an accrual basis.

Deferred IncomeThe Companys PPL subsidiary
balance sheet includes $857,000 of current and $708,000 of long-term deferred income for prepaid customer download fees related to subscriptions to its Enigma database (most commonly for 2.5 years worth of service) that will be recognized throughout
2007 and 2008. The current deferred income is classified as other accrued liabilities and the long-term deferred income is classified as other long-term liabilities on the balance sheet. These amounts are net of a purchase price allocation that
reduced total deferred income of which approximately $735,000 will be amortized in 2007 and $323,000 will be amortized in 2008.

New Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48) on July 13, 2006. FIN 48 clarifies SFAS
No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes by providing the criteria a tax position must satisfy for some or all of the tax benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and measure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect adoption of FIN 48 to have a material effect on its results of operations or financial position.

The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 108 Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Financial
Statements(SAB 108). Pursuant to SAB 108, a company will be required to quantify errors using both a balance sheet and income statement approach and restate prior period financial statements when either approach (as opposed to only
one approach) results in a material misstatement. Adoption of SAB 108 is not expected to impact the Company.

(2)  Acquisition of Performance Products Limited

On October 20, 2006, Cobra Electronics UK Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Cobra Electronics Corporation completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and
outstanding share capital of Performance Products Limited (PPL). PPL is a provider of GPS-enabled speed camera detection systems and personal navigation devices to consumers and retail locations based in the United Kingdom, as well as
other locations in Europe.

Under the acquisition agreement, the purchase price for the issued share capital of PPL consisted of $21.2 million paid in cash
at the closing of the transaction. In addition, additional cash consideration of up to approximately $6.5 million will be payable upon achievement of certain performance targets by PPL for the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2007 and cash
consideration of up to approximately $9.4 million will be payable upon achievement of certain performance targets by PPL for the fourteen month period ended May 31, 2008. Additional payment could be due depending on PPLs performance in
excess of the cumulative targets for the periods ending March 31, 2007 and May 31, 2008.

The acquisition was funded from borrowings under an Amended and
Restated Loan Agreement between LaSalle Bank, National Association as agent for the lenders, and the Company dated October 19, 2006. (Refer to Note 4 on Financing Arrangements.)

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (in thousands):

##### Table of Contents

The tax lease income resulted from the purchase of several 1983 tax lease agreements to acquire tax benefits under the
provisions of the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981. The total cash price paid by the Company was $12.4 million. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 has not impaired the economic value of these leases. The Company realizes temporary tax savings from
accelerated depreciation and permanent tax savings from credits associated with the leases, subject to statutory limitations. Currently, annual reversals of the temporary tax savings are included in the current provision for income taxes.

At December 31, 2006, the Company had a AMT credit carry forward of $857,000, which does not expire, to offset against future income tax payments.

The total valuation allowance recognized on deferred tax assets, totaling $315,000 as of December 31, 2006, was due to the establishment of a
valuation allowance for the deferred net operating loss carry-forward tax asset related to Cobra Electronics Europe Limited. The net change in the total valuation allowance during the year was $133,000.

The statutory federal income tax rate (34%) is reconciled to the effective income tax rate as follows:

(4)  Financing Arrangements

On January 31, 2002, the Company executed a new three-year Revolving Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement) with three financial institutions. In November 2005, the term of the agreement was amended to
January 31, 2007. In October 2006, in connection with the PPL acquisition, the Credit Agreement was amended and restated for a five-year term and maximum loan limit of $53.6 million, including the $40 million revolver, and a $7.0 million Term
Loan. The balance of $6.6 million is for a Delayed-Draw Term Loan available until November 15, 2007 that can only be used to fund the first earn out payment of up to approximately $6.6 million under the PPL purchase agreement which is
contingent upon PPLs operating performance for the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2007. At the Companys option, the revolver may be increased to $50 million upon sixty days advance notice. Borrowings and letters of credit
issued under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.

The credit agreement continues to allow the Company to
pay dividends and distributions on its stock, and repurchases of its stock, up to $1.2 million per calendar year.

The credit agreement contains certain
financial and other covenants, including but not limited to, a Tangible Net Worth Minimum, a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and a Debt-to-EBITDA Ratio, which may cause the applicable interest rate to increase or decrease after September 30, 2007.
The revolver portion of the credit agreement is also subject to an unused line fee of 37.5 basis points while the Delayed-Draw Term Loan is subject to a non-use fee of 62.5 basis points. Loans outstanding on the revolver currently bear interest, at
the Companys option, at prime rate plus 25 basis points or LIBOR plus 175 basis points. The Company has elected the LIBOR option on the $7.0 million Term Loan and has subsequently entered into a 5-year interest rate swap in January 2007, as
required by the credit agreement, which effectively fixes the total interest rate at 5.34 percent plus applicable basis points, currently 175 points, or a total interest rate of 7.09 percent. The $7.0 million Term Loan and the

Delayed-Draw Term Loan are subject to quarterly installment payments and mandatory prepayments based on certain asset sales, excess cash flow and issuance of
equity or debt.

At December 31, 2006, the Company had interest bearing debt outstanding of $16.7 million, consisting of the $6.8 million term loan
and $9.9 million in the Revolver. As of December 31, 2006, availability was approximately $16.0 million under the revolving credit line based on asset advance formulas.

Maximum borrowings outstanding at any month end were $19.4 and $0 million in 2006 and 2005, respectively. The maximum values of letters of credit outstanding at any month end were $8.1 million and $10.0 million in
2006 and 2005, respectively. Aggregate average daily borrowings outstanding were $4.4 million during 2006 and $0 during 2005, with weighted average interest rates thereon of 8.1 percent during 2006.

Aggregate principal repayments of long-term debt excluding payments on capital lease obligations over the next five years as December 31, 2006 are as follows:

(5)  Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Derivatives

The Companys financial instruments include cash, cash surrender value of officers life insurance policies, accounts receivable, accounts payable, current portion of
long-term debt, long-term debt and letters of credit. The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of the Companys
bank borrowings under its credit facility approximate fair value because the interest rates are reset periodically to reflect current market rates. The letters of credit reflect fair value as a condition of their underlying purpose and are subject
to fees competitively determined in the marketplace. The contract value/fair value of the letters of credit at December 31, 2006 was $3.7 million and at December 31, 2005 was $3.6 million. These letters of credit are only executed with
major financial institutions, and full performance is anticipated.

The Company operates globally with various manufacturing and distribution facilities.
The Company may reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates by creating offsetting positions through derivative financial instruments. The Company currently does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative
purposes. The Company regularly monitors foreign exchange exposures and ensures hedge contract amounts do not exceed the amounts of the underlying exposures.

The Companys current hedging activity is limited to foreign currency purchases and an interest rate swap. The purpose of the foreign currency hedging activities is to protect the Company from the risk that eventual settlement of
foreign currency transactions will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. The purpose of the interest rate swap is to fix the interest rate for the loan term, thereby protecting the Company from future interest rate increases.

The Company hedges foreign exchange exposures by entering into various short-term foreign exchange forward contracts. Under SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, the instruments are carried at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of current liabilities.

##### Table of Contents

Changes in the fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts that meet the applicable hedging criteria of SFAS No. 133 are recorded as a component of
other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts that do not meet the applicable hedging criteria of
SFAS No. 133 are recorded currently in income as cost of sales. Hedging activities did not have a material impact on results of operations or financial condition during the year ended December 31, 2006. To manage foreign currency risk, as
of December 31, 2006, the Company had entered into foreign exchange forward contracts for the sale of pound sterling and the purchase of U.S. dollars with a total notional value of $7.5 million. These contracts were originally purchased at
exchange rates ranging from 1.86 dollars per pound sterling to 1.95 dollars per pound sterling and mature periodically during 2007. The fair value of these contracts at December 31, 2006 is the carrying amount. In the fourth quarter, PPL
recorded a $200,000 loss to revalue its foreign currency contracts to market, however as the contracts mature the loss will reverse

(6)  Lease Transactions

The Company leases facilities and equipment under non-cancelable leases with remaining terms of one year
or more. The terms of the agreements provide that the Company will pay certain operating expenses. The capital lease provides the Company with the option to purchase the related asset at the end of the respective initial lease terms. The gross
amount and accumulated amortization of the capital lease at December 31, 2006 was $318,000 and $175,000, respectively.

(9)  Retirement Benefits

The only qualified retirement plan for employees is the Cobra Electronics Corporation Profit Sharing and 401(k) Incentive Savings Plan. The Company may make a discretionary annual profit sharing contribution that is
allocated among accounts of persons employed by the Company for more than one year, prorated based on the compensation paid to such persons during the year. Profit sharing and other defined contribution expenses for 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $0,
$130,000 and $129,000, respectively. Company match 401(k) expense for 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $275,000, $217,000 and $205,000, respectively.

As of
December 31, 2006 and 2005, deferred compensation of $5.9 million and $5.1 million, respectively, was recorded as a long-term liability. The current portion of the deferred compensation liability was included in accrued salaries and
commissions, and amounted to $68,000 at December 31, 2006 and $34,000 at December 31, 2005. Deferred compensation obligations arise pursuant to outstanding key executive deferred compensation plans, most of which are non-qualified defined
benefit arrangements. In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company, using a 14 percent discount rate, recognized a $299,000 gain on the lump-sum settlement of deferred compensation paid to the estate of Jerry Kalov, the Companys former president
and chief executive officer. The liability is based on discounted future cash flows related to these arrangements. The discount rate used at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was 7 percent.

Other assets at December 31, 2006 and 2005 included primarily the cash surrender value of officers life insurance policies. The cash value of officers
life insurance policies is maintained to fund deferred compensation obligations.

(10)  Commitments

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had outstanding inventory purchase orders with suppliers totaling approximately $27.0 million and $32.3 million,
respectively.

(11)  Loan Receivable

On
January 8, 2003, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Horizon Navigation, Inc. (Horizon) a California corporation and vendor to the Company, that was subsequently modified on February 6, 2003. Horizon was permitted to
borrow up to $2 million per annum, at Cobras discretion, up to an aggregate amount of $6 million at December 31, 2005. The loan accrued interest at a variable rate at a fixed margin above the prime rate. The loan agreement provided that
the interest would be added to the principal amount of the loan. The principal amount of the loan and all accrued interest were paid in full at maturity as of January 3, 2006.

In connection with the repayment of the loan, Cobra and Horizon agreed to terminate their development and license agreement. As part of the agreement, Horizon refunded a portion of previously paid development fees and
released Cobra from the obligation to pay royalties on the sale of products using the Horizon platform. The termination of the Horizon agreement resulted in a net benefit of $724,000 that was recorded as a reduction to cost of sales in the fourth
quarter of 2005.

Certain amounts of callable and non-callable warrants to purchase shares of common stock of Horizon were issued to the Company each time
the Company made a loan to Horizon in excess of specified amounts. Based on Horizons financial performance, the Company assigned no value to these warrants. During the first nine months of 2005, the Company adopted the equity method of
accounting to recognize its pro-rata share of Horizons pre-tax losses. The termination of the Horizon agreement and the repayment in full of the loan from Cobra resulted in a gain in the fourth quarter 2005 as losses previously recognized
under the equity method of accounting were offset.

Internal use software is generally amortized over its weighted average estimated life, which is three years. The
Companys ERP internal software system is amortized over its weighted average estimated life of seven years. Cobra trademarks are generally amortized over their weighted average estimated life of 20 years and patents are amortized over their
weighted average estimated life of 17 years. The product software assets are amortized based on the percentage of revenues generated in each reporting period to the total revenues expected over the weighted average estimated product life cycle.

Amortization of PPLs intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:



|                           |  |           
|-------------------------- |  | ----------
|Classification             |  | Life      
|Trade Names and Trademarks |  | 2-30 years
|Enigma Database            |  | 5 years   
|Noncompetition Agreements  |  | 3 years   
|Customer Relationships     |  | 10 years  

Pursuant to SFAS 142, the Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or if impairment indicators
exist. Other intangible assets are reviewed for possible impairment at each balance sheet date as

required by paragraph 10 of SFAS No. 86 or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an amortizable intangible asset may not
be recoverable as required by SFAS No. 144. Accordingly, if such review indicates that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable, the carrying amount is reduced to the estimated fair value. Management believes that the reported
intangible assets values are without impairment and reflect the fair value of the Companys intangible assets as of December 31, 2006.

Total
amortization expense was $3.0 million in 2006, $1.6 million in 2005, and $1.3 million in 2004. Impairment charges based on cash flow analyses were recorded in the Cobra segment cost of sales that reduced the carrying value of product software for
first generation handheld GPS and mobile navigation products for the year ended December 31, 2006 by $2.8 million. The total anticipated amortization expense over the next 5 years is $3.5 million in 2007, $4.6 million in 2008, $4.5 million
in 2009, $4.4 million in 2010 and $ 4.1 million in 2011.

(14)  Contingencies

The Company is subject to various unresolved legal actions, which arise in the normal course of its business. None of these matters is expected to have a material adverse
effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations. However, the ultimate resolution of these matters can not be determined at this time.

The Company warrants to the consumer who purchases its products that it will repair or replace, without charge, defective products within a specified time period, generally one year. The Company also has a return policy for its customers
that allow them to return, to the Company, products returned to them by their customers for full or partial credit based on when the Companys customer last purchased these products. Consequently, it maintains a warranty reserve, which reflects
historical warranty return rates by product category multiplied by the most recent six months of unit sales of that model and the unit standard cost of the model. A roll-forward of the warranty reserve is as follows (in thousands):



|                                            |  |      |        |   |      |   |        |      |  |   |        |

(15)  Inventory Valuation Reserves

The Company maintains a liquidation reserve representing the write-down of returned product from its customers to its net realizable value. Returned inventory is either sold to various liquidators or returned to
vendors for partial credit against similar, new models. The decision to sell or return products to vendors depends upon the estimated future demand for the models. Judgments are made as to whether various models are to be liquidated or returned to
the vendor, taking into consideration the liquidation prices expected to be received and the amount of the vendor credit. The amount of the reserve is determined by comparing the cost of each unit returned to the estimated amount to be realized upon
each units disposition, either from returning the unit to the vendor for partial credit towards the cost of new, similar product or liquidating the unit. This reserve can fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter depending upon
quantities of returned inventory on hand and the estimated liquidation price or vendor credit per unit. A roll-forward of the liquidation reserve is as follows (in thousands):



|                                 |  |      |        |   |      |   |        |      |  |   |        |

##### Table of Contents

The Company maintains a net realizable value (NRV) reserve to write-down, as necessary, certain inventory not
previously sold to customers, except for that covered by the liquidation reserve discussed above, below cost. The reserve includes models where it is determined that the NRV is less than cost. Thus, judgments must be made about which slow-moving,
excess or non-current models are to be included in the reserve and the estimated net realizable value of such models. The estimated realizable value of each model is the per unit price that it is estimated to be received if the model was sold in the
marketplace. This reserve will vary depending upon the specific models selected, the estimated NRV for each model and quantities of each model that are determined will be sold below cost from quarter to quarter. A roll-forward of the NRV reserve is
as follows (in thousands):

(16)  Stockholder Rights Plan

The Company maintains a Stockholder Rights Plan (the Plan) designed to deter coercive or unfair takeover tactics, to prevent a person or group from gaining control of the Company without fair value to all
shareholders and to deter other abusive takeover tactics that are not in the best interest of shareholders. The Company has designated 120,000 of the 1 million authorized shares of the preferred stock as Series A Junior Participating preferred
stock.

Under the terms of the Plan, each share of common stock is accompanied by one right; each right entitles the shareholder to purchase from the
Company one one-hundredth of a newly issued share of Series A Junior Preferred Stock, par value $1 per share, of the Company at an exercise price of $35. The rights become exercisable 10 days after a public announcement that an Acquiring Person (as
defined in the Plan) has become the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company (the Stock Acquisition Date) or 10 business days after the commencement of a tender or exchange offer that would result in a
person beneficially owning 15% or more of such shares. The Company can redeem the rights for $0.01 per right at any time until the earlier of 10 days following the Stock Acquisition Date or the final expiration of the rights. The rights will expire
on November 5, 2011, unless redeemed earlier by the Company.

In the event that any person becomes an Acquiring Person, each right will entitle the
holder (except for the Acquiring Person) thereof, upon payment of the current exercise price, to receive shares of common stock of the Company, which at the time of such person becoming an Acquiring Person, have a market value equal to two times the
then current exercise price. If, after the public announcement has been made that any person has become an Acquiring Person, (i) the Company merges into or consolidates with another person (with limited exceptions), (ii) another person
(with limited exceptions) merges into or consolidates with the Company and shares of common stock of the Company are converted into securities of another person, cash or property or (iii) the Company transfers 50% or more of its consolidated
assets, cash flow or earning power to another person (with limited exceptions), each right will entitle the holder thereof to receive, upon payment of the current exercise price, the number of shares of common stock of the Acquiring Person (or of
another person affiliated therewith) which, at the time of consummation of the transaction, have a market value equal to two times the then current exercise price.

(17)  Related Party Transactions

On July 17, 2002, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, James R. Bazet,
borrowed $399,938 from the Company pursuant to a full recourse term promissory note. The proceeds of the loan were used to exercise incentive stock options for 71,100 shares of common stock. The loan was classified as an offset to equity in the
balance sheet at December 31, 2005 and 2004.

The loan accrued interest at the prime rate (7.25%). The entire principal indebtedness, together with all accrued and
unpaid interest, was due and payable on July 18, 2006. Interest was payable on July 18 in each year, commencing on July 18, 2003. However, Mr. Bazet had the option to defer the payment of interest and elected to defer the payment
of interest until the maturity date of the loan. Accrued interest receivable totaled $75,316 at December 31, 2005 and $42,281 at December 31, 2004 was classified in other current assets. The outstanding loan balance including accrued
interest from Mr. Bazet totaled $475,254 at December 31, 2005 and $442,219 at December 31, 2004. On July 14, 2006, James R. Bazet repaid the $399,938 loan to the Company due on July 18, 2006. The payment, including accrued
interest, amounted to $490,022.

The Company purchased 65,809 shares of common stock at a discounted price of $9.12 per share from James R. Bazet in
November 2006 at a cost of $600,000.

(21)  Variable Interest Entity

Effective with the acquisition of PPL on October 20, 2006, the Company applied FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which is an interpretation of Accounting
Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements (ARB 51). FIN 46R addresses the application of ARB 51 to variable interest entities (VIEs), and generally requires that assets, liabilities and
results of activity of a VIE be consolidated into the financial statements of the enterprise that is considered the primary beneficiary.

The
Companys financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 reflect the consolidation of a joint venture, Performance Products Nordic (PPN) in which PPL owns a 25 percent equity interest, however, holds equal voting
rights. This entity serves as PPLs strategic marketer for the Nordic countries. Additionally, PPL had an outstanding loan to PPN of approximately $82,000 as of December 31, 2006 and PPN has the option to borrow an additional $70,000 from
PPL. PPN had no other significant outstanding debt as of December 31, 2006 and has reported net operating losses in its short history. Thus, PPN was determined to be a variable interest entity for which PPL was determined to be the primary
beneficiary under FIN46R.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, the consolidation of PPN added approximately $146,000 to the Companys net sales
and reduced the Companys net earnings by approximately $4,000. As of December 31, 2006, the fair value of the assets of this joint venture was approximately $231,000 and the fair values of the associated liabilities and non-controlling
interests totaled approximately $229,000.

The liabilities of PPN do not represent additional claims on the Companys general assets; rather they
represent claims against the specific assets of PPN. Likewise, the assets of PPN do not represent additional assets available to satisfy claims against the Companys general assets. To offset the credit risk associated with the Companys
variable interest in PPN, the Company has full claim to an accumulation of 12.5 percent of profits deposited to a loan redemption reserve on a quarterly basis, and if necessary, a proportionate percentage of the majority stockholders shares of
stock for any loan losses.

(22)  Subsequent Events

The Board of Directors declared an annual cash dividend of $0.16 per share on February 22, 2007. This dividend is payable on April 27, 2007 to shareholders of record on April 13, 2007.

In January 2007, the Company entered into a 5-year interest rate swap which effectively fixes the total interest rate of 5.34 percent plus applicable basis points,
currently 175 points or a total interest rate of 7.09 percent.

On March 2, 2007, the Company granted a total of 195,000 stock options at the market
price of $10.78 to executive management and other key employees under various stock option plans.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of

Cobra Electronics Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Cobra Electronics Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
shareholders equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporations management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor
were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances,
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Cobra Electronics Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
