PART I



Item 1. Business



Boston Acoustics, Inc.
engineers, manufactures, and markets moderately-priced, high-quality audio systems for use in home audio and video entertainment systems, in OEM and after-market automotive audio systems and in multimedia computer environments. We believe that our
products deliver better sound quality than other comparably priced audio systems. We purchase various home, automotive and multimedia finished products from third party suppliers that are manufactured according to our specifications and under the
direction of Boston Acoustics personnel. We also assemble finished products from manufactured and purchased subassemblies at our corporate headquarters in Peabody, Massachusetts. All of our products and subassemblies, including those supplied by
outside sources, have been designed or specified by our engineering department. Boston Acoustics speakers are marketed nationwide through selected audio and audio-video specialty dealers and through distributors in many foreign countries.



The Company was organized as a Massachusetts corporation in 1979. Our
principal executive offices and manufacturing facilities are located at 300 Jubilee Drive, Peabody, Massachusetts.



Agreement and Plan of Merger



On June 8, 2005, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with D&M Holdings U.S., Inc., a Delaware corporation
(D&M), and Allegro Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of D&M (the Merger). Each share of our common stock will be converted into the right to receive $17.50 in cash, without interest. The consummation of the
Merger is subject to shareholder approval and other customary conditions. The proposed Merger is discussed in a Current Report on a Form 8-K which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 9, 2005, which Report included a copy of
the Merger Agreement. In connection with the Merger, we plan to prepare a Proxy Statement for our shareholders, which will be filed with the SEC. Copies of the Form 8-K Report, with the Merger Agreement, are, and copies of the Proxy Statement, when
filed, will be, available free of charge at the SECs website, www.sec.gov, and at our website, www.bostonacoustics.com. Shareholders may also obtain copies without charge by directing requests to Investor Relations, Boston
Acoustics, Inc., 300 Jubilee Drive, Peabody, MA 01960. Shareholders are urged to read the Proxy Statement carefully in its entirety when it becomes available because it will contain important information regarding the proposed Merger.



Products



In certain previous periods we managed our business in two operating segments: Core and OEM/Multimedia. Inasmuch as there has been a
significant decline in our multimedia business, we now manage our business as a single operating segment. Manufacturing processes are largely the same for all product lines. Our chief operating decision makers use consolidated results to make
operating and strategic decisions.

Our premium OEM automotive audio systems sold to the Chrysler Group through a partnership with Visteon Corporation,
includes the automotive systems for the Chrysler 300 vehicles (introduced in January 2004), the Dodge Magnum vehicles (introduced in April 2004) and the 2005 Jeep Cherokee family of vehicles (introduced in September 2004).



All prices referred to above are our suggested U.S. retail prices.



New Products



During the fiscal year, we focused on introducing new and innovative products. Revenue from these new product introductions partially offset
the loss of revenue from discontinued product lines. Introductions of upgraded versions of existing product offerings, while permitting us to remain competitive, are not likely to result in significant increases in revenue over the long term.



During the three-month period ended June 26, 2004, we introduced five new
Voyager® loudspeaker models to our acclaimed
Voyager series of high-performance outdoor products replacing four discontinued models. The Voyager 4, Voyager 5, Voyager 6, Voyager 7 and Voyager Metro, have suggested retail prices of $109.95, $149.95, $199.95, $299.95, and $299.95 each
respectively.



During the three-month period ended September 25, 2004, we
introduced our newest ProSeries car after-market speaker systems. The Pro50 and Pro60, each with a suggested retail price of $599.95 per pair, are two-way car component systems that replaced the existing ProSeries line of products. Adding to the
premium SL car speaker line was the introduction of the SL60 high performance two-way car component system during the quarter. The SL60 currently has a suggested retail price of $349.95 per pair.



Also during the second quarter, initial shipments of our Avidea® 770 Home Theater System commenced. This totally integrated system includes a
uniquely intelligent control center, six high-performance compact speakers, powered subwoofer and intuitive, LCD touchscreen remote control. The suggested retail price is $3,999 for the system.



During the three-month period ended December 25, 2004, we introduced the MicroSystem CD, a
miniature stereo radio/CD music system that delivers the performance of precisely matched separate components in one small, easy to use unit. The suggested retail price is $499 each. In addition, we introduced the Avidea® 610 Home Theater System during the third quarter. This completely integrated
movie and music home entertainment system is designed for high performance and ease of use. The suggested retail price is $1,199. Also during the third quarter, we introduced the P4 Series of high-performance loudspeakers for flat panels. These
speakers are designed to fit todays flat panel TVs perfectly, both sonically and visually. There are 5 models that have suggested retail prices between $400 and $1,500 each.

Also during the third quarter, we introduced the G series of aftermarket automotive subwoofers. The G5 subwoofers are
optimized for sound quality and high output. There are two 10-inch models with a suggested retail price of $349.95 each and two 12-inch models with a suggested retail price of $399.95 each. The G2 subwoofers deliver high performance and high value.
There are two 10-inch models with a current suggested retail price of $179.95 each and two 12-inch models with a current suggested retail price of $199.95 each.



Engineering and Development



Our engineering and development department is actively engaged in the development of new products and manufacturing processes, the improvement of existing products and
the research of new materials for use in our products. We design or specify all of our products and subassemblies, including those supplied by outside sources.



Our engineering and development staff includes 33 full-time employees, four outside consultants and three engineering firms providing design services. During fiscal
years 2003, 2004 and 2005, we spent approximately $6,773,000, $4,460,000, and $4,489,000 respectively, for engineering and development.



Sales, Marketing and Distribution



We employ 20 salespersons and retain 37 manufacturers representatives who service our U.S. and Canada dealer network. In addition, we use the services of two
freelance public relations consultants to assist in the professional promotion of our products. Boston Acoustics home audio, Designer series (in-wall/in-ceiling models) and outdoor speaker products are distributed in the United States and Canada
through more than 700 selected audio or audio specialist retailers, some of whom have multiple outlets, and to selected custom installers. Our car audio products are sold through more than 300 similarly specialized retailers, some of whom also sell
our home audio products. Our Avidea Home Theater Systems, Recepter Radio, MicroSystem CD and certain multimedia products are sold through our dealer network, by certain mail order catalogs, and direct by Internet, telephone or fax. Our dealers
usually stock and sell a broad range of audio products including, in most cases, our competitors products. We seek dealers who emphasize quality products and who are knowledgeable about the products they sell.



Boston Acoustics products are also exported to dealers in Canada and sold through exclusive
distributors in over 50 foreign countries, primarily in Europe, the Asia/Pacific rim, and South and Central America. Export sales accounted for approximately 15% of our net sales in fiscal 2003, 19% in fiscal 2004 and 19% in fiscal 2005.



We emphasize the high performance-to-price ratio of our products in our advertising and
promotion. We believe that specialty retailers can be effective in introducing retail customers to the high dollar value of Boston Acoustics products. We directly support our domestic dealers and international distributors via a cooperative
advertising program, prepared advertisements, detailed product literature, and point of purchase materials. Advertising costs for fiscal 2003, 2004 and 2005 were approximately $2,053,000 (2.9% of net sales), $1,092,000 (2.1% of net sales), and
$1,062,000 (1.8% of net sales) respectively.

Competition



We compete primarily on the basis of product performance, price, and the strength of its dealer organization.



The market for branded loudspeaker systems is served by many manufacturers, both foreign and
domestic. Many products are available over a broad price range, and the market is highly fragmented and competitive. We distribute our products primarily through specialty retailers where we competes directly for space with other branded speaker
manufacturers. Audio systems produced by many of our competitors can be purchased by consumers through mass merchandisers, department stores, mail-order merchants, through the Internet, and factory-owned outlet stores. We believe it is more
advantageous to distribute through specialty retailers who provide product demonstration, technical information and service, and face-to-face sales support to consumers.



Boston Acoustics competes with a substantial number of branded speaker manufacturers, including Bose Corporation, Infinity and JBL
(divisions of Harman International Industries), B&W, Polk Audio, Inc., and Klipsch and Associates, Inc. Some of our competitors have greater technical and financial resources than we do and may have broader brand recognition than Boston
Acoustics.



In addition to competition from branded loudspeaker manufacturers,
our products compete indirectly with single name integrated systems. Integrated systems contain all the various components needed to form an audio system, and are sold by Sony, Pioneer, Bose, JVC, Yamaha, and many others. Integrated
systems are generally sold through mass merchandisers and department stores, although many of our dealers also sell integrated systems. During the past three years, home theater systems with integrated DVD video have garnered significant market
share. While these systems were historically sold in mass merchants or big box retailers, our dealers are selling such systems at higher price points.



Manufacturing and Suppliers



We purchase various home, automotive and multimedia finished products from third party suppliers that are manufactured according to our specifications and under the
direction of Boston Acoustics personnel. We also assemble finished products from components specifically fabricated for us.



We purchases materials and component parts from 192 suppliers located in the United States, Canada, Europe, and the Asia/Pacific rim. Although we rely on single



6

##### Table of Contents

suppliers for certain parts, we believe that we could, if necessary, develop multiple sources of supply for these parts.
Although we do not have long-term fixed price contracts or arrangements for inventory supplied by any foreign or domestic manufacturers, we have a long-standing course of dealing with our principal supplier. We had two inventory suppliers which
accounted for more than 10% of the Companys purchases during fiscal year 2005.



Seasonality and Consumer Discretion



The home and automotive
audio markets are both somewhat seasonal, with a majority of home speaker retail sales normally occurring in the period October through March and a majority of automotive speaker retail sales normally occurring in the period March through September.



Our sales and earnings can also be affected by changes in the general economy
since purchases of home entertainment and automotive audio products, including loudspeakers, are discretionary for consumers.



Patents and Trademarks



We hold nineteen United States design patents and numerous international patents, which relate to certain audio technologies, assemblies, and cabinet design. We also currently have several registered trademarks
including Avidea®, Boston®, Boston Acoustics®, BassTrac®, Bravo®, DirectVent®, DSi®, Kortec®,
MagnaGuard®, PowerVent®, RadialVent®, Recepter Radio®, SST®, the Boston Acoustics logo, the Sine Wave/Speaker icon, Voyager®, and VR®. Trademarks used by our subsidiary, Snell Acoustics (Snell) include Snell, Snell Acoustics, Snell Multimedia, Snell Music & Cinema, and Room Ready. We believe that our growth, competitive position and success in the marketplace are more dependent on our technical and marketing skills and expertise
than upon the ownership of patent and trademark rights. There can be no assurance that any patent or trademark would ultimately be proven valid if challenged.



Significant Customers



Because of the strategic phase out of our OEM/Multimedia business, net sales to an OEM/Multimedia customer, which in previous periods were reported as a separate
operating segment, were insignificant during fiscal 2005. Our management has taken steps (including pursuit of additional OEM customers, expansion of our after-market automotive products offerings and renewed efforts to increase sales of our
traditional products), which we believe will mitigate the consequences of the decrease in business from this customer. One customer accounted for approximately 11% of our net sales for the fiscal year ended March 26, 2005 as compared to
approximately 31% for the prior year. In March 2004 we announced that this particular customer would be reducing its annual purchases by approximately 50% beginning in May 2004. Additionally, a second significant customer accounted for approximately
25% of net sales for fiscal 2005 as

compared to less than 10% of net sales for the prior year.



Backlog



We currently have no significant backlog. Our policy is to maintain sufficient inventories of finished goods to fill all orders within two business days of receipt.

total purchase price of approximately $3,281,000. We made no repurchases of our Common Stock during fiscal year 2005.

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



Effects of Merger



The proposed Merger described above, if completed, will have material effects on the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. INVESTORS ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT AND OTHER
RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED MERGER.



Cautionary Statement



The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains certain safe harbors regarding forward-looking statements. From time to time, information provided by the
Company or statements made by its directors, officers, or employees may contain forward-looking information which involve risk and uncertainties. Any statements in this report that are not statements of historical fact are
forward-looking statements (including, but not limited to, statements concerning the characteristics and growth of the Companys market and customers, the Companys objectives and plans for future operations, and the Companys
expected liquidity and capital resources). Such forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and accordingly, actual results could differ materially. Factors that may cause such
differences include, but are not limited to: the continued and future acceptance of the Companys products, the rate of growth in the audio industry; the presence of competitors with greater technical, marketing and financial resources; the
Companys ability to promptly and effectively respond to technological change to meet evolving consumer demands; capacity and supply constraints or difficulties; and the Companys ability to successfully integrate new operations. The words
believe, expect, anticipate, intend and plan and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made.



Results
of Operations



The following table sets forth the results of operations
for the years ended March 26, 2005, March 27, 2004, and March 29, 2003 expressed as percentages of net sales.

new products; associated expenses include supplies, samples, test equipment, and inventory consumed. In addition, all product development expenditures, with the exception of tooling costs, are expensed as incurred.



Fiscal 2005 Compared with Fiscal 2004



Net sales for the fiscal year increased approximately 12%, to $59.1 million as compared to
$52.6 million in fiscal 2004. The overall sales increase during the year was driven by increased OEM automotive business in partnership with Visteon Corporation. During the twelve-month period ended March 26, 2005, the Companys premium audio
systems sold to the Chrysler Group through this partnership included the automotive systems for the Chrysler 300 vehicles (which began in January 2004), the Dodge Magnum vehicles (which commenced in April 2004) and the 2005 Jeep Cherokee family of
vehicles (which commenced in September 2004). Sales of multimedia speaker systems previously reported as a separate operating segment were insignificant for the twelve-month period ended March 26, 2005. Amounts charged against revenues decreased by
approximately $3.8 million in fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004, primarily due to changes in rebate programs and a significant reduction in annual purchases by one customer commencing in May 2004, as previously announced.



During the three-month period ended March 26, 2005, net sales for the quarter increased
approximately 41%, to $16.3 million from $11.5 million for the same period a year ago. In addition to the increased sales of the OEM automotive premium audio systems, sales of core products, in particular in the after-market car and integrated
system product categories, introduced in previous quarters contributed to the overall sales increase for the fourth fiscal quarter. Net income increased 47% to approximately $.7 million from approximately $.5 million, and diluted earnings per share
increased to $.17 per share compared to $.12 per share for the same period a year ago.

During the fiscal year, the Company focused on introducing new and innovative products, particularly within its Core
business segment. Revenue from these new product introductions partially offset the loss of revenue from discontinued product lines. Introductions of upgraded versions of existing product offerings, while permitting the Company to remain
competitive, are not likely to result in significant increases in revenue over the long term.



During the three-month period ended June 26, 2004, the Company introduced five new Voyager® loudspeaker models to the Companys acclaimed Voyager series of high-performance outdoor products replacing four discontinued models. The Voyager
4, Voyager 5, Voyager 6, Voyager 7 and Voyager Metro, have suggested retail prices of $109.95, $149.95, $199.95, $299.95, and $299.95 each respectively.



During the three-month period ended September 25, 2004, the Company introduced its newest ProSeries car after-market speaker systems. The Pro50 and Pro60, each with a
suggested retail price of $599.95 per pair, are two-way car component systems that replaced the existing ProSeries line of products. Adding to the premium SL car speaker line was the introduction of the SL60 high performance two-way car component
system during the quarter. The SL60 has a suggested retail price of $349.95 per pair.



Also during the second quarter, initial shipments of the Companys Avidea® 770 Home Theater System commenced. This totally integrated system includes a uniquely intelligent control center, six high performance compact speakers, powered subwoofer and intuitive, LCD touchscreen remote
control. The suggested retail price is $3,999.00 for the system.



During the
three-month period ended December 25, 2004, the Company introduced the MicroSystem CD, a miniature stereo radio/CD music system that delivers the performance of precisely matched separate components in one small, easy to use unit. The retail price
is $499 each. In addition, the Company introduced the Avidea® 610 Home Theater System during the third quarter. This completely integrated movie and music home entertainment system is designed for high performance and ease of use. The suggested retail price is $1,199. Also during
the third quarter, the Company introduced the P4 Series of high-performance loudspeakers for flat panels. These speakers are designed to fit todays flat panel TVs perfectly, both sonically and visually. There are five models that have
suggested retail prices between $400 and $1,500 each.



Also during the third
quarter, the Company introduced the G series of after-market automotive subwoofers. The G5 subwoofers are optimized for sound quality and high output. There are two 10-inch models with a suggested retail price of $349.95 each and two 12-inch models
with suggested retail price of $399.95 each. The G2 subwoofers deliver high performance and high value. There are two 10-inch models with a suggested retail price of $179.95 each and two 12-inch models with a suggested retail price of $199.95 each.



The Companys overall gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased
to 42.7 % in fiscal 2005 compared to 40.3% in fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily due to a larger portion of total sales being derived from product categories that reflect higher margins as compared to the same period a year ago and continued
improvement in operational efficiencies.

Total operating expenses decreased as a percentage of net sales from 36.3% to 34.9%, and in absolute dollars by
approximately $1.5 million. Selling and marketing expenses have increased in absolute dollars (approximately $1,604,000) as compared to the same period a year ago. The increase was due to increases in corporate advertising expenses (approximately
$320,000), commission expenses (approximately $403,000), consulting services (approximately $849,000), and depreciation expense (approximately $45,000) as compared to the same periods a year ago. General and administrative expenses have decreased in
absolute dollars (approximately $83,000) as compared to the same period a year ago. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was the result of decreases in depreciation expenses, (approximately $125,000) partially offset by increases in
consulting fees (approximately $59,000). Engineering and development expenses have increased in absolute dollars (approximately $28,000), as compared to the same period a year ago as a result of increased consulting fees, (approximately $58,000)
partially offset by decreases in depreciation expenses (approximately $36,000).



The Company posted net interest income of approximately $40,000 for the fiscal 2005 compared to approximately $102,000 for last fiscal year. The decrease is primarily the result of the Company receiving interest income of approximately
$66,000 in fiscal 2004, as a result of amended tax returns filed to reflect research and development tax credits identified for previous fiscal years.



Other income for fiscal 2005 includes approximately $251,000 for foreign currency gains related to the translation and consolidation of the foreign subsidiaries. In
fiscal 2004, approximately $480,000 for foreign currency gains related to the translation and consolidation of the foreign subsidiaries and approximately $3,000 related to the gain on the sale of property and equipment.



The Companys overall effective tax rate for the fiscal 2005 increased to 33.7% from
31.2% for the corresponding period a year ago. The increase in the effective tax rate is due primarily to lower anticipated research and development tax credits for the 2005 fiscal year. The income tax provision for fiscal 2005 also includes a
non-recurring reduction to an income tax reserve of $192,000. The specific reserve was originally provided for during fiscal 2002 and related to the Companys wholly owned German subsidiary.



The Company posted net income for fiscal 2005 of approximately $ 3.2 million compared to
approximately $1.9 million for fiscal 2004, while diluted earnings per share were $0.76 per share compared to $0.43 for the same period a year ago. The change is primarily attributable to the increase in net sales partially offset by the increase in
cost of goods sold and the increase in operating expenses.



Fiscal 2004
Compared with Fiscal 2003



Net sales for the fiscal year decreased 25.5%
to $52.6 million as compared to $70.6 million in fiscal 2003. The overall sales decrease was the result of a 70.8% (approximately $14.5 million) decrease in sales of the OEM and multimedia segment accompanied with a 6.9% (approximately $3.5 million)
decrease in sales of the Core business segment compared to fiscal 2003. The decrease in the OEM/Multimedia segment for the year ended March 27, 2004 had been anticipated and was the result of the decrease in sales of multimedia products to Gateway,
Inc.

The overall decrease in the Core business segment was the result of decreases in the gross sales of the home and
aftermarket car product categories offset by increases in the custom and integrated product categories during the fiscal year.



During the three-month period ended March 27, 2004, the Core segment reflected an overall increase in gross sales of approximately 8%, primarily the result of new product
introductions and increased sales of the Recepter Radio® during this quarter. Net income for the year was approximately $1.9 million compared to approximately $1.8 million a year ago, while diluted earnings per share increased to $.43 per share compared to $.41 per share
last year. During January 2004, the Company, in partnership with Visteon Corporation, began initial shipments of its premium audio systems for the Chrysler Group for upcoming vehicles. The Company recorded net sales of approximately $0.9 million to
Visteon Corporation during the three-months ended March 27, 2004. The Company anticipates a continued ramping up of these shipments during the first quarter of fiscal 2005. There is not at this time, however, sufficient historical information to
predict with any certainty the volume of revenue the Company will experience during this initial stage.



During fiscal year 2004, the Company focused on introducing new and innovative products, particularly within its Core business segment. Revenue from these new product introductions partially offset the loss of revenue
from discontinued product lines. Introductions of upgraded versions of existing product offerings, while permitting the Company to remain competitive, are not likely to result in significant increases in revenue over the long term.



During the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company introduced new powered subwoofers to the
Companys acclaimed PV series of products replacing discontinued models. The PV700 and PV900, have suggested retails of $500 and $700 each respectively. During the third quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company introduced an upgraded series of its
Micro high-performance satellite speaker systems. These compact satellites are small enough to fit anywhere. There are four models, Micro 110x, Micro 120x, Micro 130x, and the MicroCenter, with suggested retail prices ranging from $100 to $250 each.
Also contributing to gross sales during the latter half of fiscal 2004, were sales of VR® floorstanding speaker systems. The VR Series have suggested retail prices ranging from $300 to $625 each. In addition, sales of the Companys high-performance AM/FM Recepter Radio increased during the
fiscal year as compared to the previous fiscal year.



The custom product
category of speakers was enhanced with the introduction of several models during the fiscal year. The VRi595, with a suggested retail price of $800 per speaker, is a high-end, three-way in-ceiling speaker used in Hidden Theater applications and is styled to blend into any
décor and skillfully engineered with a unique, rotating baffle so that the sound may be directed towards the listening position. The VRi585T2 and the DSi465T2, with suggested retail prices of $500 and $350 each respectively, are versatile
in-ceiling speaker systems; either model has the ability to deliver full-range, two-channel stereo sound from a single installation location, or can be used as a diffuse surround speaker in Hidden Theater systems.



The SL line of after-market car speaker systems was introduced during the second fiscal
quarter and is currently composed of three models to fit the broadest range of vehicles. With suggested retail prices ranging from $250 to $300, all models share the same technology and sound quality, and are engineered to make them ideal for
factory mounting locations.

The OEM/Multimedia segment included sales of the BA745 three-piece system and the BA7900 high-performance 6-piece 5.1 channel powered speaker system, which was
introduced in the fall of 2002. These three-speaker systems are designed for use with personal computers and were offered via the Companys OEM customer, Gateway, Inc. (Gateway).



The Companys gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased to 40.3% in fiscal
2004 compared to 30.8% in fiscal 2003. This increase was due to the higher proportion of higher margin Core business sales, a reduction in payroll and payroll-related costs, and the continued improvements in manufacturing efficiencies that were
implemented at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. The lower margin OEM/Multimedia segment represented a smaller proportion of total net sales during fiscal 2004 (11.4%) as compared to fiscal 2003 (29.1%), contributing to the
Companys overall gross margin increase.



Total operating expenses
although increasing as a percentage of net sales from 32.0% to 36.3%, have decreased in absolute dollars by approximately $3.6 million. This decrease is the result of the corporate reorganization and rationalization plan implemented in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2003, which resulted in reduced payroll costs and expenses across all departments during fiscal 2004. Selling and marketing expenses have decreased in absolute dollars (approximately $633,000) as compared to the same period a year
ago. The decrease was due to decreases in payroll and payroll-related expenses (approximately $466,000) and corporate advertising and literature expenses (approximately $891,000) partially offset increases in sales promotions and commissions
(approximately $144,000), trade show and travel expenses (approximately $329,000) and consulting services (approximately $238,000) as compared to the same periods a year ago. General and administrative expenses have decreased in absolute dollars
(approximately $617,000) as compared to the same period a year ago. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was the result of decreases in payroll and payroll-related expenses (approximately $478,000), the decrease in value of donations
contributed to charitable organizations (approximately $217,000), decrease in depreciation related to the corporate ERP system software and hardware implemented in 1999 (approximately $143,000) were partially offset by increases in corporate tax and
general consulting fees (approximately $251,000). Engineering and development expenses have decreased in absolute dollars (approximately $2,313,000), due to a reduction in payroll and payroll-related expenses (approximately $1,104,000) and
consulting fees, which vary from year to year, (approximately $1,164,000) as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2003.



For fiscal 2004, the Company reported interest income, net for the fiscal year, of approximately $102,000 compared to interest income, net of approximately $163,000 last
fiscal year. The decrease is primarily the result of lower interest rates during the year.



Other income for fiscal 2004 includes approximately $480,000 for foreign currency gains related to the translation and consolidation of the foreign subsidiaries and approximately $3,000 related to the gain on the sale
of property and equipment. In fiscal 2003, approximately $211,000 for foreign currency gains related to the translation and consolidation of the foreign subsidiaries and approximately $98,000 related to the gain on the sale of property and
equipment. The gain on sale of property in fiscal 2003 was primarily from the sale of a fully depreciated automated production line.

The Companys effective tax rate returned to a normalized level of 31.2% in fiscal 2004. The Company recorded an
income tax benefit of approximately $2.2 million for fiscal 2003 in order to recognize a deferred tax asset related to the fiscal 2003 net operating loss and certain research tax credits identified for prior fiscal years. The tax credits identified
were both federal and Massachusetts research tax credits and resulted in significant federal and state tax cash savings.



The Company posted net income for fiscal 2004 of approximately $1.9 million compared to approximately $1.8 million for fiscal 2003, while diluted earnings per share were
$0.43 per share compared to $0.41 for the same period a year ago. The change is primarily attributable to the reduction in net sales partially offset by the increase in gross profit and the decrease in operating expenses resulting from the corporate
reorganization and rationalization plan implemented during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



As of
March 26, 2005, the Companys working capital was approximately $24,174,000, an increase of $2,491,000 from March 27, 2004. Current assets increased by approximately $2,325,000 due to an increase in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses.
Current liabilities decreased by approximately $167,000 due to decreases in accrued expenses, accrued income taxes and a foreign subsidiarys decrease in working capital line of credit, offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued
payroll and payroll-related expenses. The Company has two lines of credit with two U.S. banking institutions totaling $ 26,500,000. At March 26, 2005, the Company did not have any borrowings under either of these USD lines of credit. One foreign
subsidiary, which has a Euro denominated working capital line of credit had approximately $9,000 outstanding at March 26, 2005.



Cash decreased in fiscal 2005 by approximately ($767,000), while increasing in fiscal 2004 and 2003 by approximately $611,000 and $1,807,000, respectively. Net cash
provided by operating activities in fiscal years 2005, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $2,802,000, $5,919,000 and $9,388,000, respectively. Differences in cash flows from operating activities over this three-year period were primarily related to
significant year-to-year changes in net income, accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable. Net cash used in investing activities for fiscal years 2005, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $1,998,000, $1,488,000 and $1,123,000, respectively.
Net cash used in investing activities during these periods were for improvements to the existing facility and purchases of property and equipment. Net cash used in financing activities in fiscal years 2005, 2004 and 2003 was approximately
($1,571,000), ($3,820,000) and ($6,458,000), respectively. In fiscal 2005 net cash used in financing activities included payment of dividends of approximately $1,418,000. In fiscal 2004 net cash used in financing activities included the repurchase
of 274,700 shares of common stock for approximately $3,281,000. In fiscal 2003, net cash used in financing activities included $2,500,000 of repayments of borrowings under one of the Companys credit facilities. In addition, during fiscal 2003,
the Company repurchased 194,000 shares of common stock for approximately $2,429,000.

Critical Accounting Policies and
Estimates



Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to
the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our most critical accounting policies include revenue recognition, reserve for bad debts and other allowances, and inventory related reserves.



Revenue Recognition



We recognize revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commissions Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, Revenue Recognition
(SAB 104).



Revenue is generally recognized when products are (1)
delivered to customers provided that there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance, (2) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, (3) the sales price is fixed or determinable and (4) collection of the related receivable is probable.
At the time of revenue recognition, we provide reserves for sales returns, various sales rebates, timely pay discounts, and freight reserves. The determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on managements judgments regarding the fixed
nature of sales price for the products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. At the time of revenue recognition, we also accrue a warranty reserve for estimated costs to provide warranty services. Our estimate of costs to service our
warranty obligations is based on historical experience and expectation of future conditions.

##### Table of Contents

Reserve for bad debts and other allowances



Significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with establishing the allowances for rebates and timely
pay discounts in any accounting period. Similarly, our management must make estimates of the uncollectibility of our accounts receivable. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable and historical bad debts, customer concentrations,
customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The decrease in amounts charged to costs and expenses during fiscal 2005 is the result
of a decrease in the general reserve due primarily to the higher accounts receivable balance of an OEM customer at March 26, 2005 that did not require a reserve. Historically, we have not experienced any significant losses related to individual
customers or groups of customers in any particular industry or geographic area.

Inventory Related Reserves



Inventories are stated at the
lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and consist of raw material, work-in-process and finished goods. Work-in-process and finished goods inventories consist of purchased components and finished products purchased from third party suppliers
and raw materials, labor and manufacturing overhead.

We value our inventory at the lower of the actual cost to purchase and/or manufacture the inventory or the current
estimated market value of the inventory. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on our estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements for the next
twelve months. As demonstrated during the last three years, demand for our products can fluctuate significantly. A significant increase in the demand for our products could result in a short-term increase in the cost of inventory purchases while a
significant decrease in demand could result in an increase in the amount of excess inventory quantities on hand. The decrease in the provision for excess and obsolete inventory at March 26, 2005 is primarily attributable to discontinued products
being scrapped during fiscal year 2005.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements



In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based
PaymentAn Amendment of FASB Statements No. 123 and 95 (SFAS No. 123R), which requires all companies to measure compensation cost for all share-based payments, including employee stock options, at fair value, effective for public
companies for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123R is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of
employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R may have a significant impact on the Companys results of operations,
although it will have no impact on the Companys overall financial position. The Company is evaluating SFAS No. 123R and has not yet determined the amount of stock option expense which will be incurred in future periods.



In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151
(SFAS No. 151), Inventory Costs, an amendment of APB No. 43, Chapter 4. The amendments made by SFAS No. 151 will improve financial reporting by requiring that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted
materials (spoilage) be recognized as current-period charges and by requiring the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of production facilities. SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory

costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for inventory costs
incurred during fiscal years beginning after November 24, 2004. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of SFAS No. 151 will have on its financial position and results of operations.



Significant Customers



Because of the strategic phase out of the OEM/Multimedia business, net sales to an OEM/Multimedia customer, which in previous periods were
reported as a separate operating segment, were insignificant during fiscal 2005. The Companys management has taken steps (including pursuit of additional OEM customers, expansion of the Companys after-market automotive products offerings
and renewed efforts to increase sales of the Companys traditional products), which it believes will mitigate the consequences of the decrease in business from this customer. One customer accounted for approximately 11% of the Companys
net sales for the fiscal year ended March 26, 2005 as compared to approximately 31%, for the corresponding period a year ago. In March 2004 the Company announced that this particular customer would be reducing its annual purchases by approximately
50% beginning in May 2004. Additionally, a second significant customer accounted for approximately 25% of net sales for fiscal 2005 as compared to less than 10% of net sales for the corresponding periods a year ago. In addition to its strategy of
expanding the Companys product offerings, management believes its efforts to enlarge and diversify its customer base for all products will offset the decrease in business with this one customer.



International Operations



Export sales accounted for approximately 19% of the Companys net sales during fiscal
2005 and 2004 and 15% during fiscal 2003, with sales concentrations in Europe, Canada and Asia/Pacific Rim. The Company also distributes its products through its three foreign subsidiaries. The Company obtains most of its supply of inventory from
manufacturers located in foreign countries. Although the Company has no long-term, fixed price contracts or arrangements for inventory supplied by such foreign manufacturers, it has a long-standing course of dealing with its principal international
supplier. The Company could readily obtain such inventory from other sources, but there can be no assurance that it would not be at some delay. Any substantial delay in obtaining inventory from another supplier could have an adverse effect on the
Companys business, results of operations and financial condition. A number of factors beyond the control of the Company, including, but not limited to, changes in world politics, unstable governments in foreign customer and manufacturer
nations and inflation, may affect the operations or financial condition of the Companys foreign customers and manufacturers, as well as the timing of orders and deliveries of Boston Acoustics products by such customers and manufacturers.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk



|(a) | Derivative Financial Instruments, Other Financial Instruments, and Derivative Commodity Instruments.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



As of March 26, 2005, the Company did not participate in any derivative financial instruments, or other financial and commodity instruments
for which fair value disclosure would be required under SFAS No. 107. All of the Companys investments are considered cash equivalents and consist of money market accounts. Accordingly, the Company has no quantitative information concerning the
market risk of participating in such investments.



|(b) | Primary Market Risk Exposures
|--- | -----------------------------



The Companys primary market risk exposures are in the areas of interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Companys investment portfolio
of cash equivalents is subject to interest rate fluctuations, but the Company believes this risk is immaterial due to the short-term nature of these investments.



For the year ended March 26, 2005, foreign currency translation gains were approximately $251,000 as a result of consolidating the foreign
currencies of the Companys subsidiaries. During fiscal 2005, the Company did not engage in any foreign currency hedging activities.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Boston Acoustics, Inc. and Subsidiaries



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Boston Acoustics, Inc. (a Massachusetts corporation) and subsidiaries (the
Company) as of March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 26, 2005. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.



We conducted our audits 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.



In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Boston Acoustics, Inc. and subsidiaries at March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 26, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.

Boston Acoustics, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) engineers, manufactures and markets home loudspeakers, automotive speakers and speakers for multimedia environments. The Companys products are principally marketed in the United
States, Canada, Europe and Asia/Pacific Rim through selected audio and audio-video specialty dealers and distributors.



The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of Boston Acoustics Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: BA Acquisition Corp. (also known as
Snell Acoustics); Boston Acoustics Securities, Inc. (a Massachusetts securities corporation); Boston Acoustics Foreign Sales Corporation; Boston Acoustics Asia Pacific; Boston Acoustics Italia, S.p.A. (an Italian corporation) and Boston Acoustics
Deutschland, GmbH (a German corporation): and its majority-owned subsidiary, Boston Acoustics UK, Ltd. (a United Kingdom corporation). All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated in consolidation.



On June 8, 2005, the Company signed a definitive merger agreement to be acquired by D&M
Holdings US, Inc. for $17.50 per share in cash, or a total of approximately $76.0 million. The transaction has been approved by the Companys board of directors and is subject to shareholder approval and other customary closing conditions.



The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the application of
the following significant accounting policies:



Revenue Recognition



The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Securities and
Exchange Commissions Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, Revenue Recognition(SAB 104).



Revenue is recognized when products are delivered to customers, provided that there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the sales price is fixed or
determinable and collection of the related receivable is probable.



At the time
of revenue recognition, the Company provides reserves for sales returns, various sales rebates, timely pay discounts, and freight reserves.



The Company charges many of its customers shipping and freight costs related to the delivery of its products. Accordingly, the Company follows the provisions of Emerging
Issues Task Force (EIFT) Issue No. 00-10, Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs. Amounts charged to customers are included in net sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. The related shipping and handling
costs are recorded in the cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

The Company also follows the provisions of EITF Issue No. 01-09 Accounting for
Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendors Products). The Company offers cooperative advertising and other similar programs to its largest customers whereby the customers can earn sales credits for
approved advertisements involving the Companys products. The Company records these credits as an adjustment to the selling price of its products. During the years ended March 26, 2005, March 27, 2004, and March 29, 2003, cooperative
advertising and other similar credits included as sales adjustments were approximately $661,000, $1,870,000 and $2,650,000, respectively.



Use of Estimates



The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.



Cash and Cash Equivalents



The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or
less to be cash equivalents. As of March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004, all of the Companys cash equivalents were held in money market accounts.



Inventories



Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and consist of the following:



|                |  |                |            |                |   |

Property, Plant and Equipment



Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated over their estimated
useful lives. The Company provides for depreciation and amortization using both the straight-line and accelerated methods by charges to operations in amounts estimated to allocate the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives, as follows:



|                               |  |                     
|------------------------------ |  | --------------------
|Asset Classification           |  | EstimatedUseful Life
|Machinery and equipment        |  | 35 years           
|Building and improvements      |  | 39 years            
|Office equipment and furniture |  | 35 years           
|Motor vehicles                 |  | 3 years             



The Companys policy is to
capitalize expenditures for major improvements and expense repairs and maintenance for expenditures that do not extend the life of the related assets.



Warranty Costs



The Companys products generally carry a one to five-year warranty. The Company establishes a warranty reserve based on anticipated warranty claims at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect
the Companys warranty reserve level include the number of sold units, the anticipated cost of warranty repairs and historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims.



The following table provides the detail of the change in the Companys product warranty reserve, which is a component of other accrued

Foreign Currency Translation



In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52, Foreign
Currency Translation, the Company has determined that the functional currency of its foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, all monetary assets and liabilities for these entities are translated at year-end exchange rates, while
nonmonetary items are translated at historical rates. Income and expense accounts are translated at the average rates in effect during the year. Gains or losses from changes in exchange rates are recognized in consolidated income in the year of
occurrence. During the years ended March 26, 2005, March 27, 2004 and March 29, 2003, foreign currency translation gains were approximately $251,000, $480,000 and $211,000, respectively, and were included in other income in the accompanying
consolidated statements of income.



Income Taxes



The Company provides for income taxes under the liability method. Under this method,
deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The
Company is required to record a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of deferred tax assets will not be realized.



Stock-based Compensation



The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation under SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The Company continues to apply APB No. 25 for
employee stock option awards and elected the disclosure-only alternative for the same under SFAS No. 123. The Company follows the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 (SFAS 148), Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, and amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. SFAS 148 requires prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements regarding the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation
and the effect of the method used to report results.

The Company has computed the pro forma disclosures required under SFAS Nos. 123 and 148 for
all stock options granted to employees using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model prescribed by SFAS No. 123. The assumptions used and the weighted-average information for the years ended March 26, 2005, March 27, 2004 and March 29, 2003 are as
follows:

The weighted-average grant date fair
value per share of options granted during the years ended March 26, 2005, March 27, 2004 and March 29, 2003 under these plans is $10.98, $7.93 and $3.51, respectively.



As of March 26, 2005, March 27, 2004 and March 29, 2003, the weighted average remaining contractual life of outstanding options under these
plans is 2.01 years, 6.90 years and 6.86 years, respectively.

of financial instruments that subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit
risk with respect to its cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable balances. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with three highly rated financial institutions. The Companys accounts receivable credit risk is not
concentrated within any geographic area and does not represent a significant credit risk to the Company. The Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses, but historically it has not experienced any significant losses related to
individual customers or groups of customers in any particular industry or geographic area. To control credit risk, the Company performs regular credit evaluations of its customers financial condition.



Significant customers with respect to accounts receivable and net sales are as follows:

Financial Instruments



Financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, subscriptions receivable and lines of credit. The estimated fair values of these financial instruments approximate their
carrying values. The Companys cash equivalents are generally financial institution money market accounts. The Company, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets



In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets, the Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of its long-lived assets, other than goodwill and other intangible assets, for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully
recoverable. To analyze recoverability, the Company projects undiscounted net future cash flows over the remaining life of such assets. If these projected cash flows are less than the carrying amount, impairment would be recognized, resulting in a
write-down of the assets with a corresponding charge to earnings. The impairment loss is measured based upon the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the assets. The Company determined that there was no impairment of its
long-lived assets during the years ended March 26, 2005, March 27, 2004 and March 29, 2003.



Comprehensive Income



The Company
follows the provisions of SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner
sources. There were no differences between net income and comprehensive income for any of the periods presented.



Recent Accounting Pronouncements



In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based PaymentAn Amendment of FASB Statements No. 123 and 95 (SFAS No. 123R), which
requires all companies to measure compensation cost for all share-based payments, including employee stock options, at fair value, effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Generally, the approach in SFAS No.
123R is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro
forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R may have a significant impact on the Companys results of operations, although it will have no impact on the Companys overall financial position. The Company is
evaluating SFAS No. 123R and has not yet determined the amount of stock option expense which will be incurred in future periods.



In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151 (SFAS No. 151), Inventory Costs, an amendment of APB No. 43,
Chapter 4. The amendments made by SFAS No. 151 will improve financial reporting by requiring that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) be recognized as current-period charges and by
requiring the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of production facilities. SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application
is permitted for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after November 24, 2004. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of SFAS No. 151 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

2. Net Income Per Share



Net income per share is based upon the weighted-average number of shares and share equivalents outstanding each year.



The computation of basic and diluted shares outstanding, is as follows:

For the years ended March 26, 2005,
March 27, 2004 and March 29, 2003, 50,103, 241,595, and 188,550 options, respectively, have been excluded from the weighted-average number of common and dilutive potential shares outstanding, as their effect would be antidilutive.



3. Income Taxes



The components of the Companys net deferred tax asset consists of the tax effects of foreign net operating loss carryforwards,
research tax credits, and temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance has been provided for the portion of the deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards
of the Companys Italian and UK subsidiaries, as the realizability of this asset is uncertain. The Company expects to fully realize the remaining deferred tax amounts.



During fiscal 2003, the Company undertook a project to identify historical research and development tax credits that had not been previously
identified or claimed in prior year tax returns. The Company identified approximately $1.5 million of historical federal and state research and development tax credits related to fiscal years 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002. Accordingly, the Company has
recorded an income tax benefit during fiscal 2003 in order to recognize the deferred tax asset related to these historical credits. The Company has received refunds totaling $676,565 during fiscal 2004 and $398,656 during fiscal 2005.



The income tax provision includes a non-recurring reduction to an income tax reserve of
$192,000. The specific reserve was originally provided for during fiscal 2002 and related to the Companys wholly-owned German subsidiary.

Subscriptions Receivable



During fiscal 2004, in connection with the termination of one employee,
the Company determined that previously issued full recourse promissory notes, would not be repaid in full. The Company elected to exchange the 21,250 shares for the forgiveness of all amounts due under the notes, and recorded the shares as treasury
stock at their fair value on the date of forgiveness.



5. Loan Agreement and
Lines of Credit



In June 1997, the Company entered into an unsecured
revolving loan agreement with a bank for $25,000,000. The agreement expires on September 1, 2005. Interest on outstanding borrowings is charged at LIBOR on the first day of the interest period plus a fixed-rate spread based on certain financial
ratios (3.35% as of March 26, 2005). As of March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004, there were no amounts outstanding under the loan agreement.



The Company also has a $1,500,000 unsecured line of credit with another bank available for letters of credit, bankers acceptances and direct advances. Interest on
letters of credit and bankers acceptances is based on the prevailing rate (5.75% at March 26, 2005). Direct advances accrue interest at the banks commercial base rate (1.88% at March 26, 2005). No amounts were outstanding under
this line of credit at March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004.



The Company also has
a 250,000 euro line of credit with an Italian bank. At March 26, 2005, the Company had an USD $9,432 equivalent outstanding under this line of credit.



The Company was in compliance with all covenants under these lines as of March 26, 2005.

6. Segment Reporting



In certain previous periods we managed our business in two operating segments: Core and OEM/Multimedia. Inasmuch as there has been a significant decline in our multimedia
business, we now manage our business as a single operating segment. Manufacturing processes are largely the same for all product lines. Our chief operating decision makers use consolidated results to make operating and strategic decisions. Segment
information for fiscal 2004 and 2003 is as follows:

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934



Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and
executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Nasdaq Stock Market reports of ownership and changes in ownership of our voting securities
and to furnish copies of such reports to us. Based solely on a review of copies of such reports furnished to us or written representations from certain persons that no reports were required for those persons, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing
requirements were complied with during the fiscal year ended March 26, 2005, except that (i) Sheila Baird and Michael Kimelman, the principals of Kimelman & Baird, LLC, each made two late filings reporting a number of transactions, thirteen of
which (three transactions from fiscal 2004 and seven transaction from fiscal 2005) were not reported on a timely basis; (ii) Alexander E. Aikens, III, a former director of the Company, made one late filing reporting three transactions that were not
reported on a timely basis while he was still a director; (iii) Debra A. Ricker, our Vice President - Finance, failed to report a transfer of shares to her ex-husband pursuant to a domestic relations order; and (iv) Andrew G. Kotsatos, our Treasurer
and the Chairman of our Board, failed to report two gift transfers of shares to his wife as Trustee for their childrens trusts.



Code of Ethics



We adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to our principal chief executive officer, our principal financial officer, our principal accounting officer or controller, and all members of our board of directors. The Code
of Ethics appears on our Internet website at www.bostonacoustics.com. We intend to disclose any amendments to, or waivers from, a provision of our Code of Ethics on our website.

The following table reflects the number of shares of our common shares beneficially owned as of July 8, 2005 (i) by each person who is known by us to own
beneficially more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, (ii) by each of the directors, (iii) by each of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table and (iv) by all directors and executive officers as a group. In accordance with
Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner, for purposes of this table, of any shares of common stock if he or she has or shares voting power or investment power with respect to
such security or has the right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time within sixty days of July 8, 2005 (assuming for this purpose the exercisability of all unvested options, in accordance with their terms, immediately prior to the effective
time of the Merger) (Currently Exercisable Options). As used herein voting power is the power to vote or direct the voting of shares, and investment power is the power to dispose of or direct the disposition of
shares. Except as indicated in the notes following the table below, each person named has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares listed as being beneficially owned by such individual.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions



It is our policy that any transactions between the Company and its officers, directors and principal stockholders and their affiliates and any transactions between the Company and any entity with which our officers, directors or five
percent stockholders are affiliated, be approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, including a majority of the independent and disinterested outside directors, and be on terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from unaffiliated
third parties.



Prior to Mr. Boehmlers election as a Director, he was
engaged by us as a consultant for a special project. Mr. Boehmler was paid $36,600 during fiscal year 2004 for his services. During fiscal 2005, prior to his election as a Director, Mr. Boehmler was paid $25,800; and, following his election as a
Director, he was paid an additional $33,000.



Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services



Services provided to us by Ernst & Young LLP in fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004 are described below.



Audit Fees.Fees for audit services totaled $171,500 in fiscal 2005 and $163,200 in fiscal 2004, including fees associated with the annual audit and reviews of our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

Tax Fees. Fees for tax services, including tax return preparations, tax planning, tax compliance and research and
development tax consultation, and international tax consultation totaled $45,000 in fiscal 2005 and $288,100 in fiscal 2004.



All Other Fees. We incurred fees for Merger-related audit services in the amount of $6,500 during fiscal 2005.



The Audit Committees policies and procedures apply to both audit and non-audit services
to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. Annual audit services, engagement terms and fees are subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee. All non-audit, tax and other services proposed to be provided by our public
accounting firm are evaluated in advance by the Audit Committee as to the nature of the services to be provided, the fees to be charged and the potential impact an auditor independence.



The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors considered in advance each non-audit service proposed to be performed by our independent
auditors. With respect to each non-audit service for which we engaged Ernst & Young LLP during the fiscal year ended March 26, 2005 the Audit Committee determined in advance that the provision of such non-audit service and the receipt of fees
therefor would be compatible with maintaining Ernst & Young LLPs independence.
