Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements, which reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, our operations and financial performance, our performance under the credit agreement and deregistration of our Class A common stock. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. We believe these factors include but are not limited to those described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as such factors may be updated by Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q subsequently filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including by “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this report. Some of these important factors include, but are not limited, to the following:

•

We are in default under our credit agreement and our lenders have the right to accelerate our obligations at any time, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

•

As the market price of our Class A common stock is no longer quoted on a national exchange, the market price of our common stock and our reputation may be negatively impacted and our ability to raise future capital may be impaired. In addition, our Board has decided to deregister our Class A common stock which will suspend our SEC reporting requirements.

•

The current adverse economic environment, including the associated impact on government budgets, could continue to adversely affect our business.

•

Changes in funding for public schools could cause the demand for our speech generating devices, special education software and content to continue to decrease.

•

Reforms to the United States healthcare system may adversely affect our business.

•

Changes in third-party payor funding practices or preferences for alternatives may decrease the demand for, or put downward pressure on the price of, our speech generating devices.

•

Legislative or administrative changes could reduce the availability of third-party funding for our speech generating devices.

•

The loss of members of our senior management or other key personnel or the failure to attract and retain highly qualified personnel could compromise our ability to effectively manage our business and pursue our growth strategy.

•

We may not be able to develop and market successful new products.

•

New disruptive technologies may adversely affect our market position and financial results.

•

We are dependent on the continued support of speech language pathologists and special education teachers.

•

Our products are dependent on the continued success of our proprietary symbol sets.

•

We depend upon certain third-party suppliers and licensing arrangements, making us vulnerable to supply problems and price fluctuations, which could harm our business.

•

If our patents and other intellectual property rights do not adequately protect our products, we may lose market share to our competitors and be unable to operate our business profitably.

•

Our products could infringe on the intellectual property of others, which may cause us to engage in costly litigation and could cause us to pay substantial damages and prohibit us from selling our products.

•

The market opportunities for our products and content may not be as large as we believe.

•

We may fail to successfully execute our strategy to grow our business.

•

We may attempt to pursue acquisitions or strategic alliances, which may be unsuccessful.

•

We are subject to a variety of risks due to our international operations that could adversely affect those operations or our profitability and operating results.

•

We depend on third-party distributors to market and sell our products internationally in a number of markets. Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by both our distributors’ performance and our ability to maintain these relationships on terms that are favorable to us.

•

Failure to obtain regulatory approval in foreign jurisdictions could prevent us from marketing our products abroad.

•

Our business could be adversely affected by competition including potential new entrants.

•

If we fail to comply with the U.S. Federal Anti-Kickback Statute and similar state and foreign laws, we could be subject to criminal and civil penalties and exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid and other governmental programs.

•

If we fail to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, (HIPAA), we could be subject to enforcement actions.

•

New regulation related to “conflict minerals” may cause us to incur additional expenses and could limit the supply and increase the cost of certain metals used in manufacturing our products.

•

Cyber attacks as well as improper disclosure or control of personal information could result in liability and harm our reputation, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

•

Risks related to our organizational structure.

•

DynaVox Inc. is controlled by the limited partners of DynaVox Systems Holdings LLC, whose interests may differ from those of our public shareholders.

•

We will be required to pay the counterparties to the tax receivable agreement for certain tax benefits we may claim arising in connection with our IPO, future purchases or exchanges of Holdings Units and related transactions, and the amounts we may pay could be significant.

•

In certain cases, payments under the tax receivable agreement may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the actual benefits we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the tax receivable agreement.

•

Other risks related to our Class A Common Stock.

These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

DynaVox Inc. is a holding company and its sole asset is a controlling equity interest in DynaVox Systems Holdings LLC. Unless the context suggests otherwise, references in this report to “DynaVox,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer (1) prior to the April 2010 initial public offering (“IPO”) of the Class A common stock of DynaVox Inc. and related transactions, to DynaVox Systems Holdings LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries and (2) after our IPO and related transactions, to DynaVox Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. We refer to Vestar Capital Partners, a New York-based registered investment adviser, together with its affiliates, as “Vestar,” and to Park Avenue Equity Partners, L.P., together with its affiliates, as “Park Avenue.”

1. GENERAL

DynaVox Inc. (the “Corporation”) and subsidiaries design, manufacture, and distribute electronic and symbol-based augmentative communication equipment, software, and services in the United States and internationally. Products include assistive technology speech devices, proprietary symbols, books, and software programs to aid in the communication skills of individuals affected by speech disabilities as a result of traumatic, degenerative, or congenital conditions.

The Corporation was formed as a Delaware corporation on December 16, 2009 for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering (“IPO”) of common equity and to become the sole managing member of DynaVox Systems Holdings LLC and subsidiaries (“DynaVox Holdings”). On April 21, 2010, a registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) related to shares of Class A common stock of the Corporation was declared effective. The IPO closed on April 27, 2010, the Corporation had not engaged in any business or other activities except in connection with its formation and the IPO.

After the effective date of the registration statement but prior to the completion of the IPO, the limited liability company agreement of DynaVox Holdings was amended and restated to, among other things; modify its capital structure by replacing the different classes of interests previously held by the DynaVox Holdings owners to a single new class of units called “Holdings Units.” In addition, each Holdings Units unit holder received one share of the Corporation’s Class B common stock. These transactions are collectively referred to as the “Recapitalization Transactions.” The Corporation and the DynaVox Holdings owners also entered into an exchange agreement under which (subject to the terms of the exchange agreement, as amended) the Holdings Units unitholders have the right to exchange their Holdings Units for shares of the Corporation’s Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary conversation rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as Holdings Unit unitholders other than the Corporation hold in excess of 25% of the outstanding Holdings Units (including Holdings Units held by the Corporation), Holdings Unit unitholders shall only be entitled to effect exchanges on the second Friday or the last day of each fiscal month of the Corporation occurring following May 2, 2011, the date of the initial filing of the registration statement filed by the Corporation with the SEC to cover issuances of shares of Class A common stock upon exchange; provided that Holdings Unit unitholders may effect exchanges on a day that is not the second Friday or last day of a fiscal month of the Corporation during the one week period immediately following the effective date of such registration statement. The registration statement was declared effective on July 12, 2011.

Subsequent to the IPO and Recapitalization Transactions described above, the Corporation consolidated the financial results of DynaVox Holdings and its subsidiaries and reflected the ownership interest of the other members of DynaVox Holdings as a non-controlling interest in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements beginning April 28, 2010. Non-controlling interest on the statement of operations represents the portion of earnings or loss attributable to the economic interest in the Corporation held by the non-controlling unitholders. Non-controlling interest on the balance sheet represents the portion of net assets of the Corporation attributable to the non-controlling unitholders, based on the portion of the Holdings Units owned by such unitholders.

Collectively, the Corporation and DynaVox Holdings are referred to as the “Company” and as such, references to the “Company” refer to the period subsequent to the IPO and Recapitalization Transactions.

Non-Controlling Interest

The table below sets forth the non-controlling interest ownership as of June 29, 2012 and March 29, 2013 and reflects the exchange of 75,700 vested Holdings Units for Class A common stock during the thirty-nine weeks ended March 29, 2013.

Tax Receivable Agreement

DynaVox Holdings has made and intends to make an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) effective for each taxable year in which an exchange of Holdings Units into shares of Class A common stock occurs, which may result in an adjustment to the tax basis of the assets of DynaVox Holdings at the time of an exchange of Holdings Units. As a result of both the initial purchase of Holdings Units from the DynaVox Holdings owners in connection with the IPO and these subsequent exchanges, DynaVox Inc. will become entitled to a proportionate share of the existing tax basis of the assets of DynaVox Holdings. In addition, the purchase of Holdings Units and subsequent exchanges could result in increases in the tax basis of the assets of DynaVox Holdings that otherwise would not have been available. Both this proportionate share and these increases in tax basis may reduce the amount of tax that DynaVox Inc. would otherwise be required to pay in the future. These increases in tax basis may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.

The Corporation entered into a tax receivable agreement (“TRA”) with the DynaVox Holdings owners that will provide for the payment by DynaVox Inc. to the DynaVox Holdings owners an amount equal to 85% of the amount of the benefits, if any, that DynaVox Inc. is deemed to realize as a result of (i) the existing tax basis in the intangible assets of DynaVox Holdings on the date of the IPO, (ii) these increases in tax basis and (iii) certain other tax benefits related to our entering into the tax receivable agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the tax receivable agreement. These payment obligations are obligations of DynaVox Inc. and not of DynaVox Holdings. Payments are anticipated to be made annually over approximately 30 years, commencing from the date of each event that gives rise to the TRA benefits, beginning with the date of the closing of the IPO. The payments are made in accordance with the terms of the TRA. The timing and ultimate discharge of payments is subject to certain contingencies including DynaVox Inc. having sufficient taxable income to utilize the tax benefits defined in the TRA. For purposes of the tax receivable agreement, the benefit deemed realized by DynaVox Inc. will be computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of DynaVox Inc. (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that DynaVox Inc. would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the assets of DynaVox Holdings as a result of the purchase or exchanges, had there been no tax benefit from the tax basis in the intangible assets of DynaVox Holdings on the date of the IPO and had DynaVox Inc. not entered into the tax receivable agreement. The term of the tax receivable agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless DynaVox Inc. exercises its right to terminate the tax receivable agreement for an amount based on the agreed payments remaining to be made under the agreement or DynaVox Inc. breaches any of its material obligations under the tax receivable agreement in which case all obligations will generally be accelerated and due as if DynaVox Inc. had exercised its right to terminate the agreement.

During the thirty-nine week period ended March 29, 2013, the Company recorded a net decrease of $493 to the TRA liability resulting from an increase of $82 related to the exchange of 75,700 units of DynaVox Holdings for Class A Common Stock and a decrease of $575 due to the effect of a state deferred tax rate change. The increase of $82 represents 85% of the estimated tax benefits related to an increase in tax basis resulting from these exchanges and other estimated payments under the TRA. This has been recorded as a $7 decrease to the long-term deferred tax asset and the remainder has been recorded as an adjustment to equity. The $575 related to the state deferred tax rate change has been recorded in other income as a relief from an obligation.

During the thirty-nine week period ended March 30, 2012, the Company recorded an increase to the TRA liability of $5,005 related to the exchange of 1,426,836 units of DynaVox Holdings for Class A common stock. This increase represents 85% of the estimated tax benefits related to an increase in tax basis resulting from these exchanges and other estimated payments under the TRA. This has been recorded as a $3,788 increase to the long-term deferred tax asset and the remainder has been recorded as an adjustment to equity.

As of March 29, 2013 and June 29, 2012, the estimated liability representing the expected payments due under the TRA was $547 and $44,924, respectively. During the fiscal year ending June 28, 2013, the Company expects to pay the $547. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company changed its estimate and reduced $43,884 of the estimated liability in connection with placing a substantial valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets as it was determined that it was more likely than not that the tax benefits would not be realized (See Note 7). The change in the liability was recorded as income through Other income (expense) – net on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Future changes in our assessment of our ability to realize deferred tax assets would have an effect on our estimate of the TRA liability. If we were to determine that a reduction to our valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets was necessary because it was more likely than not that we would realize the tax benefits, we would record a corresponding increase to our TRA liability.

To determine the current amount of the payments due to DynaVox Holdings owners under the tax receivable agreement, the Company estimated the amount of taxable income that DynaVox Inc. has generated over the previous fiscal year. Next, the Company estimated the amount of the specified TRA deductions at year end. This was used as a basis for determining the amount of tax reduction that generates a TRA obligation. In turn, this was used to calculate the estimated payments due under the TRA that the Company expects to pay in the next fiscal year. These calculations are performed pursuant to the terms of the TRA.

The Company accounts for the income tax effects and corresponding TRA effects as a result of the initial purchase and sale of the units of DynaVox Holdings in connection with the IPO and subsequent exchanges of Holdings Units for the Company’s Class A common shares by recognizing a deferred tax asset for the estimated income tax effects of the increase in the tax basis of the assets owned by DynaVox Holdings, based upon enacted tax rates at the date of the transaction, less any tax valuation allowance the Company believes is required. The tax effects of transactions with stockholders that result in a change in the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities will be recognized in equity.

2. OPERATING MATTERS

The Company has experienced a decline in revenue, earnings, and cash flows from historical levels. Due to this continued declining operating performance and limited visibility on future liquidity, our Board of Directors determined that, in order to preserve cash, the Company would not make a voluntary prepayment on its outstanding indebtedness during the third quarter necessary to maintain financial covenant compliance. A voluntary prepayment of $3,986 would have been required to maintain financial covenant compliance. Accordingly, the Company is in violation of the Net Senior Debt to EBITDA financial covenant under its credit agreement ( the “2008 Credit Facility”) and has received a Notice of Events of Default; Reservation of Rights (“Default Notice”) from GE Business Financial Services Inc., as Agent (the “Lenders Agent”). The Default Notice states that the lenders are not required to make further loans or incur further obligations under the revolving loan portion of the 2008 Credit Facility and are entitled to exercise any and all default-related rights and remedies under the agreement. Included in these rights and remedies, the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding principal amount under the 2008 Credit Facility, at any time, can accelerate our obligations under the agreement and require payment of the full outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Company does not have sufficient cash resources to pay the amount that would become payable in the event of an acceleration of these amounts.

The Company continues to engage in active and continuing discussions with its lenders to modify the 2008 Credit Facility (see Note 6) which would prevent the acceleration of the outstanding principal. Additionally, the Company has also engaged a financial and strategic adviser to assist it with an assessment of its operating cash flow and strategic alternatives. Last, the Company remains committed to its research and development activities and the launch of its new products.

At March 29, 2013, as a result of this default, the entire amount outstanding under the 2008 Credit Facility of $25,200 has been recorded as a current liability.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern; however, our default under the 2008 Credit Facility and the continuing decline of our operating performance and cash flows raise substantial doubt about our ability to do so. Other than described above, our financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all estimates and adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2012. The results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for other quarters, for the full fiscal year or for any future period. The June 29, 2012 financial information has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements.

There have been no significant changes in our significant accounting policies and estimates that were disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2012.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards – In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amendments to the existing guidance related to testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. Under the amendments, an entity has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests of indefinite-lived intangible assets performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards – On June 30, 2012 the Company adopted changes that were issued by the FASB on the presentation of comprehensive income. These changes eliminate the current option to report comprehensive income and its components in the statement of equity, and allow two options for presenting the components of net income and comprehensive income: 1) in a single continuous financial statement: a statements of operations and comprehensive income or 2) in two separate but consecutive financial statements, consisting of an income statement followed by a separate statement of comprehensive income. The items that must be reported in comprehensive income or when an item of comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income were not changed. Management elected to present the two-statement option. Other than changes in presentation, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On December 29, 2012, the Company adopted changes that were issued by the FASB related to the reclassification of amounts out of accumulated comprehensive income by component. Under the amendments, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as we had no reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

	$	33,538	$	9,011	$	4,382	$	20,145	$	33,538	$	7,111	$	3,486	$	22,941

Long-lived assets, which include fixed assets and finite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. Intangibles with indefinite-lives are reviewed at least annually, or when events or other changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.

The Company uses the end of its fiscal year for the annual test. In accordance with its policy of conducting its annual impairment test of intangibles with indefinite lives as well as giving consideration to the impairment indicators relating to intangibles with indefinite lives and finite-lives, the Company performed the test for recoverability of the indefinite-lived and finite-lived asset group to be held, and used, as of June 29, 2012 and March 30, 2012. As a result, the Company performed a test for each asset grouping and determined that an impairment had occurred and an asset impairment loss of $66,901 was recorded for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2012, of which $60,846 related to goodwill, $3,300 related to indefinite-lived intangible assets, and $2,755 was related to finite-lived intangible assets. There was $62,107 of the total charge for fiscal year 2012 that was recorded during the third quarter of fiscal year 2012.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company determined there were indicators of potential impairment of intangibles with indefinite lives. These indicators include a decline in revenue, earnings, and cash flows from historical levels coupled with a change in the manner that one of its trade names will be used prospectively and uncertainty surrounding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The test for recoverability of an indefinite-lived asset group to be held, and used, is performed by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the fair value. The fair value of indefinite-lived intangibles, both trade names and symbols, was estimated by using a relief from royalty method (a discounted cash flow methodology). Significant assumptions under this method include royalty rates and the discount rate. Royalty rates ranging from 2% to 20% were utilized for trade names and a rate of 8% coupled with a fixed rate per device was utilized for symbols. The Company utilized a discount rate of 16.5% for both trade names and symbols. The Company determined that the fair value of the symbols exceeded its carrying value and no impairment charge was necessary. The Company determined that an impairment had occurred for the trade names and an impairment loss of $1,900 was recorded which was equal to the excess of the carrying value over the fair value. Additionally, the Company determined that one of the indefinite-lived trade names had a finite life due to the refinement of a business strategy. The finite-lived intangible asset will be amortized over one year.

Amortization expense related to intangibles for the thirteen week periods ended March 29, 2013 and March 30, 2012 was $298 and $227, respectively. Amortization expense related to intangibles for the thirty-nine week periods ended March 29, 2013 and March 30, 2012 was $896 and $681, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for the remainder of fiscal year 2013 and each subsequent two fiscal years is as follows: 2013 – $347; 2014 – $431; and 2015 – $167. All intangibles with finite lives will be fully amortized in the fiscal year 2015.

2008 Credit Facility

On June 23, 2008, the Company entered into a secured credit facility (“2008 Credit Facility”) with GE Business Financial Services Inc. (formerly known as Merrill Lynch Capital) and BMO Capital Markets Financing Inc. (formerly known as Harris NA). The 2008 Credit Facility, as amended, provides for a $52,000 term loan facility that matures on June 23, 2014 and a revolving credit facility with a $12,925 aggregate loan commitment amount available that matures on June 23, 2013. As of March 29, 2013, $25,200 was outstanding under the term loan facility and there were no borrowings outstanding or funds available under the revolving credit facility.

Effective April 27, 2010, the agent and lenders under the 2008 Credit Facility consented to DynaVox Holdings the transfer of all of its obligations under the 2008 Credit Facility to a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of DynaVox Holdings that became the immediate holding Company parent of DynaVox Systems LLC upon the consummation of the IPO (Note 1). All obligations under the 2008 Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by the immediate holding Company parent of DynaVox Systems LLC and each of DynaVox Systems LLC’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. The 2008 Credit Facility and the related guarantees are secured by substantially all of DynaVox Systems LLC’s present and future assets and all present and future assets of each guarantor on a first lien basis.

The 2008 Credit Facility provides the option of borrowing at London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR), plus a credit spread (4.2% as of both March 29, 2013 and June 29, 2012) or the Prime rate, plus a credit spread (6.3% as of both March 29, 2013 and June 29, 2012) for all term loans.

Credit spreads for each term or revolver loan and the unused revolving credit facility fee vary according to the Company’s ratio of net total debt to EBITDA (as defined) after December 31, 2008. As of March 29, 2013 and June 29, 2012, the Company’s credit spreads were as follows:


	March 29, 2013						June 29, 2012
	Prime			LIBOR			Prime			LIBOR
2008 Credit Facility		3.00	%		4.00	%		3.00	%		4.00	%
Revolver draw under 2008 Credit Facility		N/A			N/A			3.00	%		4.00	%

At March 29, 2013 and June 29, 2012, the commitment fee was 0.375% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility.

Financial Covenants and Covenant Violation

The 2008 Credit Facility requires the Company to comply with certain financial covenants, including maximum Capital Expenditures, minimum Fixed-Charge Coverage ratio, maximum Net Senior Debt to EBITDA ratio and maximum Net Total Debt to EBITDA ratio, and places certain restrictions on acquisitions and payment of dividends.

Due to the continued declining operating performance and limited visibility on future liquidity, our Board of Directors determined that, in order to preserve cash, the Company would not make a voluntary prepayment on its outstanding indebtedness during the third quarter necessary to maintain financial covenant compliance. A voluntary prepayment of $3,986 would have been required to maintain financial covenant compliance. Accordingly, the Company is in violation of the Net Senior Debt to EBITDA financial covenant under the 2008 Credit Facility and has received a Default Notice from the Lenders Agent. The Default Notice states that the lenders are not required to make further loans or incur further obligations under the revolving loan portion of the credit agreement and are entitled to exercise any and all default-related rights and remedies under the agreement. Included in these rights and remedies, the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding principal amount under the 2008 Credit Facility, at any time, can accelerate our obligations under the agreement and require payment of the full outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. Additionally, the interest rate on the debt could be increased to the default rate of our current rate plus 2%. The Company does not have sufficient cash resources to pay the amount that would become payable in the event of an acceleration of these amounts.

At March 29, 2013, as a result of this default, the entire amount outstanding under the 2008 Credit Facility of $25,200 has been recorded as a current liability.

The Company continues to engage in active and continuing discussions with its lenders and their advisers. There can be no assurance that we can reach such resolution, obtain sufficient financing or enter into other transactions to satisfy our obligations in a timely manner, or at all. The Company has also engaged a financial and strategic adviser to assist it with an assessment of its operating cash flow and strategic alternatives.

In the event of an acceleration of our obligations and our failure to pay the amount that would then become due, the holders of the 2008 Credit Facility could seek to foreclose on our assets. Should this occur, we would likely need to seek protection under the provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. See Note 2 – Operating Matters.

7. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate is summarized in the following table:


	Thirteen Weeks Ended						Thirty-nine Weeks Ended
	March 29, 2013			March 30, 2012			March 29, 2013			March 30, 2012
Income tax expense (benefit)	$	49,151		$	(7,248	)	$	50,156		$	(6,614	)
Effective income tax rate		121.45	%		12.25	%		120.31	%		12.01	%

The tax provision for the current year period is based on an estimate of the Company’s annualized income tax rate. The effective tax rate is calculated by dividing the provision for income taxes by income before income taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate includes a rate benefit attributable to the fact that the Company’s subsidiaries operate as a limited liability company which is not subject to federal or state income tax. Accordingly, a portion of the Company’s earnings are not subject to corporate level taxes. This favorable impact is partially offset by the impact of certain permanent items, primarily attributable to certain entertainment and lobbying expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes. During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended March 29, 2013, the Company recorded a substantial valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets related to the Company for $49,360 as it was determined that it was more likely than not that the tax benefits would not be realized. The Company also recorded discrete items that resulted in income tax expense (benefit) which related to interest associated with the reserve for uncertainties in income tax positions, and a tax benefit related to research and development, other permanent provision to return items, and the effect of changes to state deferred tax rates.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is summarized as follows:


Balance as of June 29, 2012	$	66
Increases in prior period tax positions		7

Balance as of March 29, 2013	$	73

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of corporate income tax expense.

The Company files income tax returns with federal, state, local, and foreign jurisdictions. U.S. federal and state tax returns associated with fiscal years 2009 – 2012 are currently open for examination. Foreign tax returns associated with fiscal years 2008 – 2012 also remain open under the statute.

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value is an exit price and the exit price should reflect all the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company’s fair value measurements are subject to the management, direction, and control of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). The CFO utilizes a number of resources to assist with the determination of fair value measurements including employees of the Company with relevant valuation expertise and external valuation specialists. The CFO reviews fair value measurements on a quarterly basis in connection with the Company’s routine closing process and performance of internal control activities.

Accounting standards established three different valuation techniques; market approach, income approach, and cost approach. The Company uses the market and income approaches to value assets and liabilities for which the measurement attribute is fair value.

Valuation techniques used to measure fair value are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s internal market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are based on quoted prices for an identical asset or liability in an active market.

Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are based on quoted prices for a similar asset or liability in an active market, quoted prices for an identical or similar asset or liability in an inactive market, or model- derived valuations for which all significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability.

Valuation of assets and liabilities requires consideration of market risks in our valuations that other market participants may consider. Specifically, consideration was given to the Company’s non-performance risk and counterparty credit risk to develop appropriate risk-adjusted discount rates used in our fair value measurements. The Company utilized the following valuation methodologies to measure our financial assets and liabilities:

Cash equivalents: Cash equivalents include investments in money market funds. Investments in this category can be redeemed immediately at the current net asset value per share. A money market fund is a mutual fund whose investments are primarily in short-term debt securities designed to maximize current income with liquidity and capital preservation, usually maintaining per share net asset value at a constant amount, such as one dollar. The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of the instruments.

Acquisition-related contingent consideration: Contingent consideration recorded from the Company’s acquisition of Eye Response Technologies, Inc. in fiscal 2010 includes guaranteed minimum royalty and consulting payments due to the previous owner. The amount recorded for the guaranteed minimum royalty payments represents the fair value of expected consideration to be paid based on the Company’s forecasted sales of eye products over a three-year period. Expected consideration was valued based on three possible scenarios for projected sales of applicable products (the guaranteed minimum payment, a conservative forecasted sales case, and an optimistic forecasted sales case). Each case was assigned a probability, a discount rate was applied to future payments, and the aggregate result of the three scenarios was summarized to determine the fair value to be recorded. Acquisition related contingent consideration also includes a consulting agreement due to the previous owner related to future service during the three year period. The amount recorded represents the fair value of contractual consideration expected to be paid. The Company considers the acquisition related contingencies fair value measurements to be Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

The following table presents assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 29, 2013 and June 29, 2012:

The carrying amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash, trade accounts receivable, and trade accounts payable approximate their respective fair values based on the short-term nature of these instruments. At March 29, 2013 and June 29, 2012, the fair value of the Company’s debt instruments approximated their respective carrying value as the debt was comprised of variable rate debt. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was based upon borrowing rates then available to the Company for similar debt instruments with like terms and maturities. This is considered a level 2 measurement in the fair value hierarchy.

During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended March 29, 2013, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $1,900 relating to impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets (See Note 5). During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended March 30, 2012 the Company recorded an impairment loss of $62,107 relating to impairment of goodwill and finite-lived intangible assets. These non-financial assets were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis subsequent to their initial recognition. We consider the fair value of these intangible assets to be level 3 measurements due to the presence of significant inputs that are unobservable and based on management’s estimates. Note 5 contains a discussion of the valuation methodologies used to measure these intangible assets.

The following table presents assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 29, 2013 and June 29, 2012. There were no nonrecurring fair value measurements of liabilities.

Weighted-average shares of stock options which were anti-dilutive and thus not included in the computation of weighted-average diluted common share amounts were 1,080,009 and 1,178,483 for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended March 29, 2013, respectively, and 1,536,857 and 1,560,354 for the thirteen and thirty-nine week period ended March 30, 2012, respectively. Weighted-average shares of restricted stock which were anti-dilutive and thus not included in the computation of weighted-average diluted common share amounts were 815,592 and 493,058 for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended March 29, 2013, respectively, and 15,317 and 14,564 for the thirteen and thirty-nine week period ended March 30, 2012, respectively.

The shares of Class B common stock do not share in the earnings or losses of DynaVox Inc. and are therefore not participating securities. Accordingly, basic and diluted net income per share of Class B common stock has not been presented.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Restructuring – In June 2012, the Company entered into a separation agreement with its former Chief Executive Officer to provide benefits as defined in the original employment agreement. In accordance with the separation agreement, the Company agreed to pay an aggregate amount of $1,000 in severance, to be paid over an 18-month period, commencing with a payment of $250 on December 12, 2012, and the remaining $750 payable in equal installments over the period. In addition to the severance payment, the Company will provide continued health benefits for 18 months and all amounts credited to this individual’s account in an executive retirement plan became fully vested. The Company has recorded a total of $627 and $1,075 in other liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at March 29, 2013 and June 29, 2012, respectively.

In March 2013, the Company entered into a separation agreement with its former Chief Legal Officer to provide benefits as defined in the original employment agreement. In accordance with the separation agreement, the Company agreed to pay an aggregate amount of $225 in severance, to be paid over a 12-month period, commencing with a payment of $113 on September 5, 2013, and the remaining $112 payable in equal installments over the next six months. The Company has recorded a liability of $225 in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at March 29, 2013.

Leases – In February 2013, the Company signed a lease amendment for our facility in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania which will extend the lease for five years with the Company’s option for an additional five years after the initial period. The annual rent expense is approximately $618.

Purchase Commitments – In March 2013, the Company recorded a charge for $251 related to open purchase order commitments for certain slower moving inventory. The $251 is recorded in other liabilities at March 29, 2013 in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Other Matters – From time to time, we may be involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings relating to securities laws, product liability, patent infringement, contract disputes and other matters relating to various claims that arise in the normal course of our business. In management’s opinion, resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or its financial position. However, the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, and unfavorable resolutions are possible and could materially affect our results of operations, cash flows or financial position. In addition, regardless of the outcome, litigation could have an adverse impact on us because of defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. The Company has recorded liabilities of $14 as of March 29, 2013 and $495 as of June 29, 2012 for contract disputes and product liability matters. Also, during the thirty-nine weeks ended March 29, 2013, the Company received a payment of $98 for a product liability matter. This gain has been recorded as a reduction to cost of sales on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 15, 2013, the Company’s Class A common stock was delisted from the NASDAQ Global Select Market and began trading on the OTC Markets OTCQB marketplace on April 16, 2013.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein. The financial information set forth and discussed below is unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of such information. The Company’s results of operations for a particular quarter may not be indicative of results expected during the other quarters or for the entire year. The following discussion may contain predictions, estimates and other forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including those listed under the “Forward-Looking Statements” section above. These risks and uncertainties are described in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2012, as they may be updated by Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q subsequently filed with the SEC, including Item 1A. Risk Factors of this report, and could cause our actual results to differ materially from any future performance suggested below.

We operate on a fiscal calendar that results in a given fiscal year consisting of a 52-week or 53-week period ending on the Friday closest to June 30th of each year. For example, references to “fiscal year 2013” refer to the 52-week period ending on June 28, 2013. Fiscal year 2013, fiscal year 2012 and fiscal year 2011 each consists of 52-week periods.

Overview

Sales of our speech generating technologies are our largest source of revenue. In fiscal years 2012 and 2011, sales of speech generating technologies produced approximately 84% and 81%, respectively, of our net sales. The pricing levels at which third party payors, including Medicare, Medicaid and private insurers, are willing to provide coverage for speech generating technology significantly influences our sales of speech generating technologies because a significant portion of the speech generating devices that we sell are funded by such third-party payors.

Our other primary source of revenue is sales of special education software. In fiscal years 2012 and 2011, sales of special education software produced approximately 16% and 19%, respectively, of our net sales. Our software products are generally purchased by special education teachers and are generally funded by schools, which receive funding from federal, state and local sources. The level of funding available for special education and educational technology is an important driver of our software sales. Currently, revenue from sales of our software products is generated primarily from up-front fees that we collect on the initial sale of our authoring tools.

We believe that reduced domestic government funding since the beginning of fiscal year 2011, particularly more constrained state and local government funding of school budgets, together with technology advances such as tablet computers has adversely affected our product sales in the United States during this time period.

Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 we experienced a funding shift, as an alternative payor in a certain geographic region elected to discontinue its role as primary payor for speech generating devices and assumed the role of secondary payor behind other third party payors, such as Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance. For the thirty-nine weeks ended March 29, 2013, we recorded $3.4 million less in net device sales as a result of the funding shift as compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended March 30, 2012. Our expectation is that we will continue to supply a portion of patients impacted by the funding shift with devices in the future through other third party payors, which historically have averaged between three and six months for final authorization compared to approximately 30 days for this specific alternative payor and which may have different reimbursement guidelines than this specific alternative payor.

Our cost of sales as a percentage of net sales is influenced by the mix of our net sales between speech generating technologies and special education software, with the gross margin on our special education software sales being moderately higher.

Our primary operating expenses are selling and marketing, research and development and general and administrative.

Due to the continued declining operating performance and limited visibility on future liquidity, our Board of Directors determined that, in order to preserve cash, the Company would not make a voluntary prepayment on its outstanding indebtedness during the third quarter necessary to maintain financial covenant compliance. A voluntary prepayment of $4.0 million would have been required to maintain financial covenant compliance. Accordingly, the Company is in violation of the Net Senior Debt to EBITDA financial covenant under the credit agreement (the “2008 Credit Facility”) and has received a Notice of Events of Default; Reservation of Rights (“Default Notice”) from GE Business Financial Services Inc., as Agent (the “Lenders Agent”). The Default Notice states that the lenders are not required to make further loans or incur further obligations under the revolving loan portion of the credit agreement and are entitled to exercise any and all default-related rights and remedies under the agreement. The Company continues to engage in active and continuing discussions with its lenders.

In connection with our ongoing discussions with the lenders, in April 2013, the Company engaged a financial and strategic adviser to assist it with an assessment of its operating cash flow and strategic alternatives. There can be no assurance that we can reach a resolution with the lenders, obtain sufficient financing or enter into other transactions to satisfy our obligations in a timely manner, or at all. If we are unable to resolve our situation with our lenders and/or to raise sufficient additional funds, we would be required to reduce operating expenses by, among other things, curtailing significantly or delaying or eliminating part or all of our new product development programs and/or scaling back our commercial operations. In addition, at any time, the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding principal amount under the 2008 Credit Facility can accelerate our obligations under the agreement and require payment of the full outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. Also, the interest rate on the debt could be increased to the default rate of our current rate plus 2%. We do not have sufficient cash resources to pay the amount that would become payable in the event of an acceleration of these amounts, and even if we could obtain additional financing, it is unlikely that we could obtain an amount sufficient to repay the outstanding indebtedness under the 2008 Credit Facility in full. In the event of an acceleration of our obligations and our failure to pay the amount that would then become due, the holders of the 2008 Credit Facility could seek to foreclose on our assets, as a result of which we would likely need to seek protection under the provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In that event, we could seek to reorganize our business, or the Company or a trustee appointed by the court could be required to liquidate our assets. In either of these events, whether the stockholders receive any value for their shares is highly uncertain. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Part II – Item 1A. Risk Factors – We are in default under our 2008 Credit Facility and our lenders have the right to accelerate our obligations at any time, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.”

Components of Results of Operations

Net Sales

Our sales are recorded net of product returns and an allowance for discounts and adjustments at the time of the sale based upon contractual arrangements with insurance companies, Medicare allowable billing rates and state Medicaid rates. Our net sales are derived from the sales of speech generating devices and special education software and content. The following table summarizes our net sales by product categories for the periods indicated below both in dollars and as a percentage of net sales:


	Thirteen Weeks Ended						Thirty-nine Weeks Ended
	March 29, 2013			March 30, 2012			March 29, 2013			March 30, 2012
	(Amounts in thousands)						(Amounts in thousands)
Net Sales
Speech generating devices	$	12,532		$	20,684		$	42,701		$	60,815
Special education software		2,395			3,343			8,412			12,619

	$	14,927		$	24,027		$	51,113		$	73,434


Percentage of net sales
Speech generating devices		84.0	%		86.1	%		83.5	%		82.8	%
Special education software		16.0	%		13.9	%		16.5	%		17.2	%

		100.0	%		100.0	%		100.0	%		100.0	%

A majority of our net sales for devices are generated by our direct sales efforts for products that are shipped to clients and billed to Medicare (national), Medicaid (local) and private insurance companies as well as products that are shipped and directly billed to school districts, evaluation centers and Department of Veterans Affairs centers. Special education software sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended March 30, 2012 includes a large international order of approximately $1.4 million.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales includes the direct labor and indirect costs of the final assembly operations performed at our facility in Pittsburgh, the cost of the component materials used in the final assembly, quality control testing, certain royalties, the distribution costs of our special education software center and other third-party costs. Our cost of sales is substantially higher in higher volume quarters, generally increasing as net sales increase. Changes in the mix of our products, or the mix between devices and software, may also impact our overall cost of sales. We review our inventory levels on an ongoing basis in order to identify potentially obsolete products and record any adjustments to our reserve as a component of cost of sales.

Operating Expenses

Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, benefits and other personnel related expenses for employees engaged in field sales, front-end technical support to assist the sales process, sales operations (order authorization and processing), marketing and external advertising and promotion.

Research and Development. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation of employees associated with the development, design and testing of new products, product enhancements and new applications for our existing products. We expense most of our research and development costs as they are incurred. Certain patent technology costs are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the patent related asset.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and other personnel related expenses for employees engaged in finance, legal, human resources and executive management. Other costs include outside legal and accounting fees, risk management (insurance) and other administrative costs.

Amortization of Certain Intangible Assets. We have finite-lived intangible assets composed of acquired software technology, acquired patents, internally developed patents, and trade names which are typically amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Acquired software technology is typically amortized over three to 10 years, acquired patents are amortized over the life of the patent, internally developed patents are amortized over their useful life, and trade names are amortized over three years. Amortization related to acquired software technology and trade names is included in cost of sales. Amortization of patents is included in operating expenses. In connection with the impairment charges taken in the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company determined that one of the indefinite-lived trade names had a finite life due to the refinement of a business strategy. The finite-lived intangible asset of $0.2 million will be amortized over one year beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. Additionally, in connection with the impairment charges taken in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, we reduced the useful lives of certain acquired software technology and acquired patents to one year.

Impairment Loss. Long-lived assets, which include fixed assets and finite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. Intangible assets with indefinite-lives are reviewed at least annually, or when events or other changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.

Equity-Based Compensation

We estimate the grant date fair value of stock options for our Class A common stock using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Significant assumptions we use in the model are: (i) an expected dividend yield of 0% based on our expectation of not paying dividends for the foreseeable future; (ii) the expected volatility based on the historical volatility of our Class A common stock; (iii) a risk-free interest rate based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant; and (iv) a weighted-average expected term using the “simplified method”. The “simplified method” calculates the expected term as the average of the vesting term and original contractual term of the options.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists primarily of interest on borrowings under our credit facilities.

Other Income (Expense) – net

Other income (expense) – net consists primarily of changes to the payable to related parties pursuant to the tax receivable agreement primarily as a result of change in estimates.

Income Taxes

We are subject to entity level taxation in certain states, and certain domestic and foreign subsidiaries are subject to entity level U.S. and foreign income taxes. In addition, DynaVox Inc. is subject to U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes with respect to its allocable share of any taxable income of DynaVox Systems Holdings LLC (“DynaVox Holdings”) and is taxed at the prevailing corporate tax rates. During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended March 29, 2013, the Company recorded a substantial valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets related to DynaVox Inc. for $49.4 million as it was determined that it was more likely than not that the tax benefits would not be realized.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) before income taxes, interest income, interest expense, impairment loss, depreciation, amortization and other adjustments noted in the table below. We present Adjusted EBITDA because:

•

Adjusted EBITDA is used by management in managing our business as an indicator of our operating performance;

•

our compliance with certain covenants in our credit agreement is measured based on Adjusted EBITDA; and

•

targets for Adjusted EBITDA are among the measures we use to evaluate our management’s performance for purposes of determining their compensation under our management incentive bonus plan.

Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA principally as a measure of our operating performance and believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies in industries similar to ours. We also believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to our management and investors as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period. Our management also uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and financial projections. Adjusted EBITDA, however, does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or cash flow from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies. Although we use Adjusted EBITDA as a measure to assess the operating performance of our business, Adjusted EBITDA has significant limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes certain material costs. For example, it does not include interest expense, which has been a necessary element of our costs. Because we use capital assets, depreciation expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate revenue. In addition, the omission of the substantial amortization expense associated with our intangible assets or any impairment loss further limits the usefulness of this measure. Adjusted EBITDA also does not include the payment of taxes, which is also a necessary element of our operations. Adjusted EBITDA also does not include expenses incurred in connection with equity-based compensation to our employees, certain costs relating to restructuring and acquisitions and debt refinancing fees. Because Adjusted EBITDA does not account for these expenses, its utility as a measure of our operating performance has material limitations. Because of these limitations management does not view Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a primary performance measure and also uses other measures, such as net income (loss), net sales, gross profit and income from operations, to measure operating performance.

Non-Controlling Interest

The Company is the sole managing member of, and has a controlling equity interest in, DynaVox Holdings. After the effective date of the registration statement for our IPO, but prior to the completion of the IPO, the limited liability company agreement of DynaVox Holdings was amended and restated to, among other things; modify its capital structure by replacing the different classes of interests previously held by the DynaVox Holdings owners to a single new class of units (the “Holdings Units”.) In addition, each holder of Holdings Units received one share of the Company’s Class B common stock. DynaVox Inc. and the DynaVox Holdings owners also entered into an exchange agreement under which (subject to certain of its terms) the holders of Holdings Units have the right to exchange their Holdings Units for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications.

As the sole managing member of DynaVox Holdings, the Company operates and controls all of the business and affairs of DynaVox Holdings and, through DynaVox Holdings and its subsidiaries, conducts our business. The Company consolidates the financial results of DynaVox Holdings and its subsidiaries, and records non-controlling interest for the economic interest in the Company held by the non-controlling unitholders. Non-controlling interest on the condensed consolidated statement of operations represents the portion of earnings or loss attributable to the economic interest in the Company held by the non-controlling unitholders. Non-controlling interest on the condensed consolidated balance sheet represents the portion of net assets of the Company attributable to the non-controlling unitholders, based on the portion of the Holdings Units owned by such unitholders. The non-controlling interest ownership percentage as of March 29, 2013 is calculated as follows:


	Non-controlling Unitholders Holdings Units			DynaVox Inc. Outstanding Common A Shares			Total*
March 29, 2013		18,724,123			11,371,820			30,095,943
		62.2	%		37.8	%		100.0	%

*	Assumes all of the holders of Holdings Units exchange their Holdings Units for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis.

Thirteen Week Period Ended March 29, 2013 Compared to the Thirteen Week Period Ended March 30, 2012

Net Sales

Net sales decreased 37.9%, or $9.1 million, to $14.9 million for the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2013 from $24.0 million for the thirteen week period ended March 30, 2012. The decrease in device sales was $8.2 million, or 39.4%. Software sales decreased $0.9 million, or 28.4%, in the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2013 compared to the thirteen week period ended March 30, 2012. As previously disclosed, we have continued to experience a softening of demand for both our speech generating devices and software products that began in fiscal year 2011. We believe that reduced domestic government funding since the beginning of fiscal year 2011, and particularly more constrained state and local government funding of school budgets, together with technology advances such as tablet computers has continued to adversely affect our product sales in the United States during the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2013.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit decreased 39.9%, or $6.9 million, to $10.4 million for the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2013 from $17.4 million for the thirteen week period ended March 30, 2012. The $6.9 million decrease in gross profit was due mainly to lower device sales of $8.2 million and lower education software sales of $0.9 million. Gross margin decreased 230 basis points to 70.0% for the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2013 from 72.3% for the thirteen week period ended March 30, 2012. Gross margin decreased primarily as a result of lower sales volume in both devices and education software and changes within the mix of product sales.

Operating Expenses

Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses decreased 33.9%, or $2.7 million, to $5.2 million for the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2013 from $7.9 million for the thirteen week period ended March 30, 2012. The $2.7 million decrease consists primarily of $0.7 million of lower advertising expense, $0.9 million of lower wages and benefits, a $0.3 million reduction in sales related travel functions and $0.6 million of lower variable compensation. The lower advertising expense reflects a $0.5 million reduction for a direct to consumer marketing initiative that we discontinued at the beginning of fiscal year 2013. Selling and marketing expenses totaled 34.9% and 32.7% of net sales for the thirteen week periods ended March 29, 2013 and March 30, 2012, respectively

Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased 12.1%, or $0.2 million, to $1.7 million for the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2013 from $1.5 million for the thirteen week period ended March 30, 2012. This increase was due primarily to a $0.2 million increase in internal development resources. Research and development expenses totaled 11.6% and 6.4% of net sales for the thirteen week periods ended March 29, 2013 and March 30, 2012, respectively.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased 2.8%, or $0.1 million, to $4.3 million for the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2013 from $4.4 million for the thirteen week period ended March 30, 2012. The net decrease includes a $0.2 million reduction in personnel related expenses and $0.2 million of lower equity-based compensation offset by a $0.3 million increase in severance costs. These expenses as a percentage of net sales were 28.6% and 18.3% for the thirteen week periods ended March 29, 2013 and March 30, 2012, respectively.

Amortization of Certain Intangibles. Amortization of certain intangibles increased $0.1 million, from $0.1 million to $0.2 million, for the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2013 compared to the thirteen week period ended March 30, 2012. The increase in amortization expense for the third quarter of fiscal year 2013 as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year was a result of the estimated remaining lives of acquired patent and certain software intangible assets being revised downward as of June 29, 2012, offset partially by impairment charges in fiscal year 2012 related to certain finite-lived intangible assets.

Impairment Loss. The impairment loss of $2.0 million for the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2013 was the result of a $1.9 million impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets and $0.1 million of impairment related to the abandonment of certain leasehold improvements. The impairment loss of $62.1 million for the thirteen week period ended March 30, 2012 was the result of a $60.8 million impairment of goodwill and $1.3 million of impairment related to finite-lived intangibles.

Loss From Operations. Loss from operations was $2.9 million for the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2013 compared to a loss from operations of $58.6 million for the thirteen week period ended March 30, 2012. The change in loss from operations was due to the reasons discussed above.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $0.1 million to $0.5 million for the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2013 from $0.6 million for the thirteen week period ended March 30, 2012 primarily as a result of the $5.0 million voluntary debt repayment in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 and the $6.0 million voluntary debt repayment in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

Other Income (Expense) – net. Net other income was $43.8 million for the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2013 compared to net other income of less than $0.1 million for the thirteen week period ended March 30, 2012. The increase was primarily the result of a $43.9 million change in the estimated amounts payable to related parties pursuant to the tax receivable agreement in connection with recording a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets of $49.4 million.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit). Income tax expense was $49.1 million for the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2013 compared to an income tax benefit of $7.2 million for the thirteen week period ended March 30, 2012. The change was primarily the result of a $49.4 million valuation allowance recorded on deferred tax assets during the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2013 coupled with a tax benefit of $7.2 million recorded during the thirteen week period ended March 30, 2012 related to a $59.2 million loss before income taxes.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA decreased $4.4 million to $0.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to $5.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012. The $4.4 million decrease was primarily a net result of the $9.1 million decrease in net sales, a $2.2 million reduction in cost of goods sold and $2.7 million of lower operating expenses, excluding the impairment loss in the prior year. Equity-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expense were $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, lower in the third quarter of fiscal year 2013 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2012. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company changed its estimate relating to amounts payable to related parties pursuant to tax receivable agreement and reduced this liability by $43.9 million. Adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) before income taxes, interest income, interest expense, impairment loss, depreciation, amortization and the other adjustments noted in the table above.

Thirty-nine Week Period Ended March 29, 2013 Compared to the Thirty-nine Week Period Ended March 30, 2012

Net Sales

Net sales decreased 30.4%, or $22.3 million, to $51.1 million for the thirty-nine week period ended March 29, 2013 from $73.4 million for the thirty-nine week period ended March 30, 2012. The decrease in device sales was $18.1 million, or 29.8%. Software sales decreased $4.2 million, or 33.3%, in the thirty-nine week period ended March 29, 2013 compared to the thirty-nine week period ended March 30, 2012. Software sales for the thirty-nine week period ended March 30, 2012 included a large international order of approximately $1.4 million. Excluding the large international order, overall net sales and software sales decreased $20.9 million and $2.8 million, or 28.5% and 22.2%, respectively. As previously disclosed, we continued to experience a softening of demand for both our speech generating devices and software products that had begun in fiscal year 2011. We believe that reduced domestic government funding since the beginning of fiscal year 2011, and particularly more constrained state and local government funding of school budgets, together with technology advances such as tablet computers continued to adversely affect our product sales in the United States during the thirty-nine week period ended March 29, 2013.

Also, beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, we experienced a funding shift, as an alternative payor in a certain geographic region elected to discontinue its role as primary payor for speech generating devices and assumed the role of secondary payor behind other third party payors, such as Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance. For the thirty-nine week period ended March 29, 2013, we recorded $3.4 million less in net device sales as a result of the funding shift as compared to the thirty-nine week period ended March 30, 2012. Our expectation is that we will continue to supply a portion of patients impacted by the funding shift with devices in the future through other third party payors, which historically have averaged between three and six months for final authorization compared to approximately 30 days for this specific alternative payor and which may have different reimbursement guidelines than this specific alternative payor.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit decreased 30.9%, or $16.3 million, to $36.7 million for the thirty-nine week period ended March 29, 2013 from $53.0 million for the thirty-nine week period ended March 30, 2012. The $16.3 million decrease in gross profit was due mainly to lower device sales of $18.1 million and lower education software sales of $4.2 million compared to the prior year. Gross margin decreased 50 basis points to 71.7% for the thirty-nine week period ended March 29, 2013 from 72.2% for the thirty-nine week period ended March 30, 2012. Gross margin decreased primarily as a result of lower volume and product mix slightly offset by a decrease in royalties and personnel costs.

Operating Expenses

Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses decreased 27.9%, or $7.1 million, to $18.4 million for the thirty-nine week period ended March 29, 2013 from $25.5 million for the thirty-nine week period ended March 30, 2012. The $7.1 million decrease consists primarily of $2.2 million of lower advertising expense, $2.5 million of lower wages and benefits, $1.4 million of lower variable compensation and a $0.8 million reduction in sales related travel functions. The lower advertising expense reflects a $1.5 million reduction for a direct to consumer marketing initiative that we discontinued at the beginning of fiscal year 2013. Selling and marketing expenses totaled 35.9% and 34.7% of net sales for the thirty-nine week periods ended March 29, 2013 and March 30, 2012, respectively.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses decreased 1.2%, or $0.1 million, to $5.2 million for the thirty-nine week period ended March 29, 2013 from $5.3 million for the thirty-nine week period ended March 30, 2012. This decrease was due primarily to a $0.1 million reduction in expense as a result of changes to our benefit programs. Research and development expenses totaled 10.2% and 7.2% of net sales for the thirty-nine week periods ended March 29, 2013 and March 30, 2012, respectively.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased 10.7%, or $1.4 million, to $11.8 million for the thirty-nine week period ended March 29, 2013 from $13.2 million for the thirty-nine week period ended March 30, 2012. The decrease includes a $0.6 million reduction in bad debt expense and $0.6 million of lower equity-based compensation. Depreciation expense decreased $0.3 million. These expenses as a percentage of net sales were 23.1% and 18.0% for the thirty-nine week periods ended March 29, 2013 and March 30, 2012, respectively.

Amortization of Certain Intangibles. Amortization of certain intangibles increased $0.3 million, from $0.3 million to $0.6 million, for the thirty-nine week period ended March 29, 2013 compared to the thirty-nine week period ended March 30, 2012. The increase was primarily a result of the estimated remaining lives of acquired patent and certain software intangible assets being revised downward as of June 29, 2012, offset partially by impairment charges in fiscal year 2012 related to certain finite-lived intangible assets.

Impairment Loss. The impairment loss of $2.0 million for the thirty-nine week period ended March 29, 2013 was the result of a $1.9 million impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets and $0.1 million of impairment related to the abandonment of certain leasehold improvements. The impairment loss of $62.1 million for the thirty-nine week period ended March 30, 2012 was the result of a $60.8 million impairment of goodwill and $1.3 million of impairment related to finite-lived intangibles.

Loss From Operations. Loss from operations was $1.3 million for the thirty-nine week period ended March 29, 2013 compared to a loss of $53.4 million for the thirty-nine week period ended March 30, 2012. The change in loss from operations was due to the reasons discussed above

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $0.3 million to $1.4 million for the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2013 from $1.7 million for the thirty-nine week period ended March 30, 2012 primarily as a result of a $5.0 million voluntary debt repayment in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 and a $6.0 million voluntary debt repayment in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

Other Income (Expense) – net. Net other income was $44.4 million for the thirty-nine week period ended March 29, 2013 compared to net other (expense) of less than $0.1 million for the thirty-nine week period ended March 30, 2012. The increase was primarily the result of a $43.9 million change in the estimated payable to related parties pursuant to the tax receivable agreement in connection with recording a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets of $49.4 million.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit). Income tax expense was $50.2 million for the thirty-nine week period ended March 29, 2013 compared to an income tax benefit of $6.6 million for the thirty-nine week period ended March 30, 2012. The change was primarily the result of a $49.4 million valuation allowance recorded on deferred tax assets during the thirty-nine week period ended March 29, 2013 coupled with a tax benefit of $6.6 million recorded during the thirty-nine week period ended March 30, 2012 related to a $55.1 million loss before income taxes.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA decreased $8.6 million to $5.1 million for the first thirty nine weeks of fiscal year 2013 compared to $13.7 million for the same period of fiscal year 2012. The $8.6 million decrease was primarily a net result of the $22.3 million decrease in net sales, a $6.0 million reduction in cost of goods sold and $8.5 million of lower operating expenses excluding the impairment loss. Equity-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expense were both $0.6 million lower in the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal year 2013 as compared to the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal year 2012. During the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal year 2013, the Company changed its estimate relating to amounts payable to related parties pursuant to tax receivable agreement and reduced this liability by $43.9 million. Adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) before income taxes, interest income, interest expense, impairment loss, depreciation, amortization and the other adjustments noted in the table above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The primary sources of cash are existing cash and cash equivalents and cash flow from operations. As noted below and as a result of the event of default, at any time, the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding principal amount under the 2008 Credit Facility can accelerate our obligations under the agreement and require payment of the full outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. We do not have sufficient cash resources to pay the amount that would become payable in the event of an acceleration of these amounts, and even if we could obtain additional financing, it is unlikely that we could obtain an amount sufficient to repay the outstanding indebtedness under the 2008 Credit Facility in full.

Also, the lenders are not required to make further loans or incur further indebtedness under the revolving loan portion of the 2008 Credit Facility.


	As of
	March 29, 2013		March 30, 2012
	(Amounts in thousands)

Cash and cash equivalents	$	14,109	$	22,159
Revolving loan availability		N/A	$	12,925

Our primary cash needs are to fund normal working capital requirements, capital expenditures, repay our indebtedness (interest and principal payments) and for tax distributions to members, including any payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

While we believe that our current cash resources, together with anticipated revenues from product sales, would be sufficient to fund our operations, they are not sufficient to fund both our operations and full repayment of the outstanding principal under the 2008 Credit Facility. In addition, we have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, including assumptions with respect to the level of revenues from sales of new products currently under development, and we could exhaust our available financial resources sooner than we currently expect. The sufficiency of our current cash resources, and our need for additional capital and the timing thereof, will depend on many factors, including primarily the amount of revenues that we receive from sales of these new products.

The Company financed its working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, debt repayments and tax distributions to members, including any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, through a combination of existing cash and cash equivalents, net cash provided by operating activities and availability under our senior credit facility, of which $25.2 million was outstanding at March 29, 2013. The current scheduled payments under the senior credit facility require the Company to pay $0.8 million on September 30, 2013 and three equal quarterly installments of $8.1 million beginning on December 31, 2013, but such payments may be accelerated as described below. In addition, the availability of funds under the senior credit facility requires the Company to comply with certain covenants, including a covenant of Net Senior Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, which the Company has defaulted on as of March 29, 2013. The senior secured credit agreement provides the Company the ability to prepay at any time, without penalty, and at its discretion for any reason, including maintaining compliance with covenants, and reducing the outstanding debt in direct order of maturity. During the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal year 2013, the Company made a prepayment of $6.0 million.

Due to the continued declining operating performance and limited visibility on future liquidity, our Board of Directors determined that, in order to preserve cash, the Company would not make a voluntary prepayment on its outstanding indebtedness under the 2008 Credit Facility that would have been due on or before March 29, 2013 to maintain financial covenant compliance. A voluntary prepayment of $4.0 million would have been required to maintain financial covenant compliance. Accordingly, the Company is in violation of the Net Senior Debt to EBITDA financial covenant under its 2008 Credit Facility and has received a Default Notice from the Lenders Agent. The Default Notice states that the lenders are not required to make further loans or incur further obligations under the revolving loan portion of 2008 Credit Facility and are entitled to exercise any and all default-related rights and remedies under the 2008 Credit Facility. The Company continues to engage in active and continuing discussions with its lenders.

All obligations under the 2008 Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by the immediate holding Company parent of DynaVox Systems LLC and each of DynaVox Systems LLC’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. The 2008 Credit Facility and the related guarantees are secured by substantially all of DynaVox Systems LLC’s present and future assets and all present and future assets of each guarantor on a first lien basis. In the event of an acceleration of our obligations and our failure to pay the amount that would then become due, the holders of the 2008 Credit Facility could seek to foreclose on our assets, as a result of which we would likely need to seek protection under the provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In that event, we could seek to reorganize our business, or the Company or a trustee appointed by the court could be required to liquidate our assets. In either of these events, whether the stockholders receive any value for their shares is highly uncertain. If we needed to liquidate our assets, we might realize significantly less from them than the value that could be obtained in a transaction outside of a bankruptcy proceeding. The funds resulting from the liquidation of our assets would be used first to pay off the debt owed to secured and unsecured creditors, including the lenders under the 2008 Credit Facility, before any funds would be available to pay our stockholders. If we are required to liquidate under the federal bankruptcy laws, it is unlikely that stockholders would receive any value for their shares.

As a result of this default, we have reclassified on our balance sheet amounts previously shown as long-term debt under the 2008 Credit Facility to short-term debt.

Subsequent to March 29, 2013, in connection with our default under the 2008 Credit Facility, the financial institution that maintains our general cash operating accounts extended the float period on incoming receipts. Generally, the float period was 1 to 2 days and now will be 4 to 6 days. This is not expected to have a material impact on our liquidity.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern; however, our default under the 2008 Credit Facility and the continuing decline of our operating performance and cash flows raise substantial doubt about our ability to do so. Other than described above, our financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

The inability to refinance or restructure our debt would have a material adverse effect on the solvency of the Company and our ability to continue as a going concern. See “Part II – Item 1A – Risk Factors – We are in default under our 2008 Credit Facility and our lenders have the right to accelerate our obligations at any time, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.”

We may require additional liquidity as we continue to execute our business strategy, which may not be available to us.

As part of the IPO and related transactions, we entered into a tax receivable agreement with the DynaVox Holdings and subsidiaries owners that provides for the payment from time to time by DynaVox Inc. to the DynaVox Holdings owners of 85% of the amount of the benefits, if any, that DynaVox Inc. is deemed to realize as a result of (i) the existing tax basis in the intangible assets of DynaVox Holdings on the date of the IPO, (ii) an increase in the tax basis of the assets of DynaVox Holdings that otherwise would not have been available, and (iii) certain other tax benefits related to our entering into the tax receivable agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the tax receivable agreement. These payment obligations are obligations of DynaVox Inc. and not of DynaVox Holdings. For purposes of the tax receivable agreement, the benefit deemed realized by DynaVox Inc. will be computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of DynaVox Inc. (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that DynaVox Inc. would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the assets of DynaVox Holdings as a result of the purchase or exchanges, had there been no tax benefit from the tax basis in the intangible assets of DynaVox Holdings on the date of the IPO and had DynaVox Inc. not entered into the tax receivable agreement. The term of the tax receivable agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless DynaVox Inc. exercises its right to terminate the tax receivable agreement for an amount based on the agreed payments remaining to be made under the agreement or DynaVox Inc. breaches any of its material obligations under the tax receivable agreement in which case all obligations will generally be accelerated and due as if DynaVox Inc. had exercised its right to terminate the agreement.

Operating Activities

Our operations consist of all the activities required to provide products to our customers. The net cash provided by these activities is dependent upon the timing of receipt of payment from our private pay and publicly funded customers and the timing of payment to our vendors, employees, taxing authorities and landlord, among others.

The principal factors impacting net cash provided by operating activities are the operation of our business and the management of our working capital as shown below for the thirty-nine week periods ended March 29, 2013 and March 30, 2012:

Changes in operating assets and liabilities	$	(220	)	$	(986	)

Our net cash provided by operating activities for the thirty-nine week period ended March 29, 2013 was $4.3 million compared to $12.8 million for the thirty-nine week period ended March 30, 2012. The $8.5 million net decrease consisted primarily of $8.3 million of lower net income (after adjusting for impairment loss, depreciation and amortization and deferred taxes in both periods), a $0.5 million reduction in bad debt expense and $0.6 million less in equity-based compensation and a favorable change in the net components of operating assets and liabilities of $0.8 million.

Investing Activities

Investing activities for the thirty-nine week periods ended March 29, 2013 and March 30, 2012 consisted mainly of capital expenditures.


	Thirty-nine Weeks Ended

Net cash used in investing activities	$	(268	)	$	(372	)

Cash used in investing activities was $0.3 million in the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal year 2013 compared to $0.4 million in the same period of fiscal year 2012.

Management anticipates that capital expenditures during fiscal year 2013 will be approximately $0.4 million of which $0.3 million have already been incurred.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $7.8 million in the thirty-nine week period ended March 29, 2013 compared to $2.4 million in the thirty-nine week period ended March 30, 2012. Cash used in financing activities consists primarily of shareholder distributions, payment of acquisition contingencies and repayments of our outstanding indebtedness.

Net cash used in financing activities	$	(7,788	)	$	(2,383	)

The $5.4 million increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily a result of $6.0 million in voluntary debt repayments during the thirty-nine weeks ended March 29, 2013 compared to no debt repayment during the thirty-nine weeks ended March 30, 2012 offset by a $0.7 million reduction in payments on acquisition contingencies.

Financing Agreements

As discussed above, as of March 29, 2013, we were not in compliance with the Net Senior Debt to EBITDA ratio of our financial covenants contained in our 2008 Credit Facility, as amended. Accordingly, we have received a Default Notice that states that the lenders are not required to make further loans or incur further obligations under the revolving loan portion of our 2008 Credit Facility and are entitled to exercise any and all default-related rights and remedies under the agreement.

The current scheduled payments under the 2008 Credit Facility require the Company to pay $0.8 million on September 30, 2013 and three equal quarterly installments of $8.1 million beginning on December 31, 2013, but these payments could become accelerated at any time, as described above.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

DynaVox Systems LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of DynaVox Systems Holdings LLC, entered into a third amended and restated senior secured credit facility (2008 Credit Facility), dated as of June 23, 2008, with a syndicate of financial institutions, including GE Business Financial Services Inc. (formerly known as Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services Inc.), as administrative agent. The 2008 Credit Facility, as amended, provides for a $52.0 million term loan facility that matures on June 23, 2014 and a revolving credit facility with a $12.9 million aggregate loan commitment amount available, including a $5.0 million sub-facility for letters of credit and a $2.0 million sub-facility for swingline loans, that matures on June 23, 2013. As of March 29, 2013, $25.2 million was outstanding under the term loan facility and there were no borrowings outstanding or funds available under the revolving credit facility.

In general, borrowings under the 2008 Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, at either (1) the Base Rate (as defined in the 2008 Credit Facility) plus a margin of between 3.00-3.75% (depending on the ratio of net total debt to Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the 2008 Credit Facility)), or (2) a rate based on LIBOR plus a margin of between 4.00-4.75% (depending on the ratio of net total debt to Adjusted EBITDA). We incur an annual commitment fee of 0.375% or 0.5% (depending on the ratio of net total debt to Adjusted EBITDA) of the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. Such borrowing rates could be increased to the default rate of our current rate plus 2% as a result of our non-compliance with our Net Senior Debt to EBITDA ratio covenant as of March 29, 2013.

Commencing on September 30, 2008 and ending on June 23, 2014, on the last date of each quarter, we are required to repay borrowings under the term loan facility in increasing percentages per year, beginning at 2.5%, with the remaining balance to be repaid on the applicable maturity date. If our ratio of net total debt to Adjusted EBITDA as of the end of any fiscal year is greater than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00, the 2008 Credit Facility requires a mandatory prepayment in an amount equal to between 25.0-75.0% (depending on the ratio of net total debt to Adjusted EBITDA) of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the credit facility) for such fiscal year. No mandatory prepayment was required for fiscal year 2012 as a result of the $5.0 million voluntary debt repayment made on June 29, 2012.

The 2008 Credit Facility requires DynaVox Systems LLC to maintain certain financial ratios at the end of each fiscal quarter. These include a maximum ratio of Net Senior Debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the preceding twelve-month period of 2.00 to 1.00, a maximum ratio of net total debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the preceding twelve-month period of 4.00 to 1.00 and a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the preceding twelve-month period of 1.30 to 1.00. In addition, the credit facility provides for a maximum amount of Capital Expenditures in each fiscal year. The Capital Expenditures limit for fiscal year 2013 is $12.5 million which includes a $5.5 million carryover from the prior fiscal year.

The ratio of Net Senior Debt to Adjusted EBITDA for a twelve-month period is calculated by dividing Net Senior Debt as of the last day of such twelve-month period (calculated by subtracting the aggregate amount of subordinated debt permitted under the 2008 Credit Facility from net total debt (as defined below)) by Adjusted EBITDA for such twelve-month period. The ratio of net total debt to Adjusted EBITDA for a twelve-month period is calculated by dividing net total debt as of the last day of such twelve-month period by Adjusted EBITDA for such twelve-month period. Net total debt is defined as the sum of the average daily principal balance under the revolving credit facility for the one-month period ending on such date plus the outstanding principal balance of the term loan under the 2008 Credit Facility plus the outstanding principal balance of all other debt. Net total debt may be reduced by up to $5.0 million of cash and cash equivalents. As of March 29, 2013, Net Senior Debt and net total debt were both $20.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve-month period then ended was $8.1 million, and as discussed below, the Company was in default.

The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is calculated by dividing operating cash flow by the sum of cash interest expense (net of interest income), net cash taxes paid, scheduled principal payments on all debt and restricted cash distributions (which items totaled $4.9 million for the twelve months ended March 29, 2013). Operating cash flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA for a twelve-month period less any unfinanced capital expenditures for such twelve-month period. Operating cash flow for the twelve months ended March 29, 2013 was $7.8 million.

Capital Expenditures are calculated based on the amount capitalized during the fiscal year less net cash proceeds of asset dispositions or proceeds from property insurance policies received during the fiscal year. Capital Expenditures for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal year 2013, as defined in the agreement, were $0.3 million.

As of March 29, 2013, the ratio of Net Senior Debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve-month period then ended was 2.49 to 1.00, the ratio of net total debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve-month period then ended was 2.49 to 1.00 and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the twelve-month period then ended was 1.57 to 1.00.

We are in violation of the Net Senior Debt to EBITDA financial covenant and, accordingly, have received a Default Notice from the Lenders Agent. The Default Notice states that the lenders are not required to make further loans or incur further obligations under the revolving loan portion of the 2008 Credit Facility and are entitled to exercise any and all default-related rights and remedies under the 2008 Credit Facility. The Company continues to engage in active and continuing discussions with its lenders.

All obligations under the 2008 Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by the immediate holding company parent of DynaVox Systems LLC and each of DynaVox Systems LLC’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. The 2008 Credit Facility and the related guarantees are secured by substantially all of DynaVox Systems LLC’s present and future assets and all present and future assets of each guarantor on a first lien basis. In the event of an acceleration of our obligations and our failure to pay the amount that would then become due, the holders of the 2008 Credit Facility could seek to foreclose on our assets, as a result of which we would likely need to seek protection under the provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In that event, we could seek to reorganize our business, or the Company or a trustee appointed by the court could be required to liquidate our assets. In either of these events, whether the stockholders receive any value for their shares is highly uncertain. If we needed to liquidate our assets, we might realize significantly less from them than the value that could be obtained in a transaction outside of a bankruptcy proceeding. The funds resulting from the liquidation of our assets would be used first to pay off the debt owed to secured and unsecured creditors, including the lenders under the 2008 Credit Facility, before any funds would be available to pay our stockholders. If we are required to liquidate under the federal bankruptcy laws, it is unlikely that stockholders would receive any value for their shares.

The 2008 Credit Facility also contains affirmative and negative covenants customarily found in loan agreements for similar transactions, including, but not limited to, restrictions on our ability to incur indebtedness, create liens on assets, incur certain contingent obligations, engage in mergers or consolidations, change the nature of our business, dispose of assets, make certain investments, engage in transactions with affiliates, enter into negative pledges, pay dividends or make other restricted payments, modify certain payments or modify certain debt documents, and modify our constituent documents if the modification materially adversely affects the interests of the lenders.

The 2008 Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including defaults based on a failure to pay principal, reimbursement obligations, interest, fees or other obligations, a material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; breach of covenants; failure to pay other indebtedness and cross defaults; failure to comply with ERISA or labor laws; change of control events; events of bankruptcy and insolvency; material judgments; the passive holding company status of the immediate holding company parent of DynaVox Systems LLC and DynaVox International Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of DynaVox Systems LLC; and an impairment of collateral.

Upon the occurrence of an event of default, including in the event of non-compliance with the financial ratios described above, the lenders have the ability to accelerate all amounts then outstanding under the 2008 Credit Facility, except that, upon bankruptcy and insolvency events of default, such acceleration is automatic. Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an event of default under the 2008 Credit Facility, as is currently the case, we no longer have access to our revolving credit facility and we have to reclassify on our balance sheet amounts currently shown as long-term debt under the credit facility to short-term debt. Accordingly, we have reclassified on our balance sheet amounts previously shown as long-term debt under the 2008 Credit Facility to short-term debt.

If we are unable to refinance or restructure our debt, we would have a material adverse effect on our solvency and ability to continue as a going concern. See “Part II – Item 1A – Risk Factors – We are in default under our 2008 Credit Facility and our lenders have the right to accelerate our obligations at any time, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.”

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases estimates on historical experience and other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances and evaluates these estimates on an on-going basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies consist of revenue recognition, trade receivables and related allowances, intangible assets, equity-based compensation, and deferred tax asset valuation, descriptions of which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 26, 2012.

Off- Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not a party to any off- balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Information regarding quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk is not required pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 29, 2013. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 29, 2013, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management has not identified any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

As of the date of this report, there were no material proceedings underway. In the ordinary course of business, we are from time to time involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations, proceedings, and threats of litigation. In management’s opinion, resolution of those matters is not expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or its financial position. However, the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, and unfavorable resolutions are possible and could materially affect our results of operations, cash flows or financial position. In addition, regardless of the outcome, litigation could have an adverse impact on us because of defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, see the information under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2012 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 28, 2012, which is updated as set forth below.

We are in default under our credit agreement and our lenders have the right to accelerate our obligations at any time, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Due to the continued declining operating performance and limited visibility on future liquidity, our Board of Directors determined that, in order to preserve cash, the Company would not make a voluntary prepayment on its outstanding indebtedness under the 2008 Credit Facility that would have been due on or before March 29, 2013 to maintain financial covenant compliance. A voluntary prepayment of $4.0 million would have been required to maintain financial covenant compliance. Accordingly, the Company is in violation of the Net Senior Debt to EBITDA financial covenant under its 2008 Credit Facility and has received a Default Notice from as the Lenders Agent. The Default Notice states that the lenders are not required to make further loans or incur further obligations under the revolving loan portion of the 2008 Credit Facility and are entitled to exercise any and all default-related rights and remedies under the 2008 Credit Facility. The Company continues to engage in active and continuing discussions with its lenders.

As a result of this default, we have reclassified on our balance sheet amounts previously shown as long-term debt under the 2008 Credit Facility to short-term debt. Our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern; however, our default under the 2008 Credit Facility and the continuing decline of our operating performance and cash flows raise substantial doubt about our ability to do so. Other than described above, our financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

The inability to refinance or restructure our debt would have a material adverse effect on the solvency of the Company and our ability to continue as a going concern.

For a more detailed discussion of our 2008 Credit Facility, see “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

On April 15, 2013, the Company’s Class A common stock was delisted from the NASDAQ Global Select Market and began trading on the OTC Markets OTCQB marketplace on April 16, 2013. This delisting could result in a number of negative implications, including reduced price and liquidity in our common stock as a result of the loss of market efficiencies associated with NASDAQ and the loss of federal preemption of state securities laws, as well as the potential loss of confidence by suppliers, customers and employees, the loss of institutional investor interest, the loss of the ability to raise future capital, less coverage by analysts, fewer business development opportunities and greater difficulty in obtaining financing.

In addition, in light of not being quoted on a national exchange and given the increasing cost and resource demands of being a public company, our Board has decided to deregister our Class A common stock under the Exchange Act and “go dark.” We will not be eligible to deregister until after the end of the fiscal year 2013. Once we become eligible to deregister, we intend to file a Form 15 with the SEC and our obligation to file reports (including periodic reports and proxy statements) with the SEC will cease although we will be required to file an Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2013. Subject to satisfaction of certain regulatory requirements, the Company expects deregistration of its Class A common stock to become effective 90 days after the filing of Form 15.

The Company intends to deregister its Class A common stock because the Company believes the incremental cost of compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other public company reporting requirements outweighs any discernable benefit to the Company or its shareholders from continued registration, and that continuing to incur such costs is not in the best interests of the Company or its shareholders. Factors influencing the Company’s decision to deregister its Class A common shares include the following:

•

the ever increasing accounting, legal and administrative costs of preparing and filing periodic reports and other filings with the SEC ;

•

the amount of time senior management is required to devote to matters related to the Company’s public reporting obligations, compared to time concentrating on the Company’s business; and

•

the already limited trading volume and liquidity in the Company’s Class A common shares.

As a result of the deregistration, investors will have significantly less information about the Company and may find it more difficult to dispose of or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of the Company’s Class A common stock. In addition, the Company expects there will be a substantial decrease in the liquidity in the Class A common stock and that the ability of shareholders to sell the Company’s securities in the secondary market may be materially limited. Further, the market’s interpretation of the Company’s motivation for “going dark” could vary from cost savings, to negative changes in the Company’s prospects, to serving insider interests, all of which may affect the overall price and liquidity of the Company’s Class A common stock and its ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.

The risks described in our Form 10-K, as updated, are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties, not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial, also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
