Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

March 31, 2006

1. Basis of Presentation

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

     Rockford Corporation and subsidiaries (“Rockford”) has prepared these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X consistent in all material respects with those applied in Rockford’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, except for the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payments” (“SFAS 123R”) — see Note 2. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, Rockford has made all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation.

     Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the results you may expect for the year ending December 31, 2006. Certain reclassifications have been made to the March 31, 2005 interim financial statements in order to conform to the March 31, 2006 presentation.

     For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included as part of Rockford’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 2006.

Comprehensive Loss

     The components of comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:

		Three months ended
		March 31,
		2006				2005
		(In thousands)
Net loss		$	(2,053	)		$	(608	)
Foreign currency translation adjustments			7				(63	)
Total comprehensive loss		$	(2,046	)		$	(671	)

2. Share-based Compensation

     At March 31, 2006 Rockford had four active share-based employee compensation plans. Stock option awards granted from these plans are granted at the fair market value on the date of grant, and vest over a period determined at the time the options are granted, ranging from zero to four years, and have a maximum term of ten years. Certain options provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the plans). When options under any of the plans are exercised, new shares of Rockford’s common stock are issued.

     Prior to January 1, 2006 Rockford accounted for share-based employee compensation, including stock options, using the method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related Interpretations (“APB Opinion No. 25”). Under APB Opinion No. 25 stock options are granted at market price and no compensation cost is recognized, and a disclosure is made regarding the pro forma effect on net earnings assuming compensation cost had been recognized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”). In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, which requires companies to measure and recognize compensation expense for all share-based payments at fair value. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB Opinion No 25, and generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using prescribed fair-value based methods. SFAS No. 123R permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods: (a) a “modified prospective” method in which compensation costs are recognized beginning with the effective date based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted or modified after the effective date, and based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R that remain unvested on the effective date or (b) a “modified retrospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also

permits companies to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS No. 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either for all periods presented or prior interim periods of the year of adoption.

     Effective January 1, 2006 Rockford adopted SFAS No 123R using the modified prospective method. No share-based employee compensation cost has been reflected in net loss prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R. Results for prior periods have not been restated.

     The adoption of SFAS No. 123R increased loss before income tax expense and net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2006 by approximately $68,000. Basic and diluted net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2006 would have been $0.21 and $0.21, respectively, if Rockford had not adopted SFAS No. 123R, compared to reported basic and diluted net loss per common share of $0.22 and $0.22 respectively. The total value of stock option awards is expensed ratably over the service period of the employees receiving the awards. As of March 31, 2006, total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock option awards was approximately $489,000 and the related weighted-average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately 2.8 years.

     Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, Rockford presented all tax benefits of deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. SFAS No. 123R requires the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows. There were no excess tax benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

     A summary of stock option activity within Rockford’s share-based compensation plans and changes for the three months ended March 31, 2006 is as follows:

										Weighted
						Weighted				Average
						Average				Remaining				Aggregate
		Number of				Exercise				Contractual				Intrinsic
		Shares				Price				Term				Value
Balance at December 31, 2005			1,582,264			$	4.70
Granted			50,000			$	3.47
Exercised			(1,750	)		$	2.69
Terminated/expired			(2,950	)		$	6.38
Balance at March 31, 2006			1,627,564			$	4.66			6.4 years				$	882,000

     The intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $2,000. Options exercisable under Rockford’s share-based compensation plans at March 31, 2006 were 1,213,501, with an average exercise price of $5.33, an average remaining contractual term of 5.6 years, and an aggregate intrinsic value of $408,000.

     The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

		Three months ended
		March 31,
		2006				2005
Expected dividend yield			0	%			0	%
Expected stock price volatility			.46				.46
Risk-free interest rate			4.7	%			3.4	%
Expected life of options		5 years				5 years

     Using this model, the weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $1.60 per share. There were no stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2005.

     The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and net loss per common share as if Rockford had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to all outstanding stock option awards for periods presented prior to Rockford’s adoption of SFAS No. 123R:

		Three months
		ended
		March 31,
		2005
		(In thousands,
		except per
		share data)
Net loss as reported		$	(608	)
Proforma SFAS No. 123 expense			(63	)
Proforma net loss		$	(671	)
Proforma loss per common share:
Basic		$	(0.07	)
Diluted		$	(0.07	)

     For purposes of proforma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the option’s vesting period.

3. Discontinued Operations

     Rockford Home Group. In January 2005, Rockford engaged an investment banker to assess strategic alternatives, including a potential sale, of its Rockford Home Group which was primarily comprised of Rockford’s NHT business. The Fosgate Audionics and Hafler businesses, along with NHT, made up the Rockford Home Group.

     On October 18, 2005, Rockford sold the assets and liabilities of NHT for a cash purchase price of $2.4 million. At the closing, Rockford received approximately $2.2 million and the remaining proceeds of approximately $0.2 million were placed into an escrow account that will be used to pay claims, if any, of the Buyer relating to the representations made by Rockford in the Asset Purchase Agreement. If there are no claims, the escrow amount will be released to Rockford in October 2006. The amount held in escrow was recorded as a note receivable at March 31, 2006.

     In connection with the sale of NHT, Rockford assigned a lease to office space, located in Benicia, California, and used solely in NHT’s operations, to the Buyer. As a condition of the assignment of the lease, the landlord required Rockford to guarantee the rental payments through October 2008, the lease termination date. As the buyer makes monthly lease payments, Rockford’s obligation is reduced by those amounts. As of March 31, 2006, the future rental commitment under the original lease, and therefore the maximum potential exposure under the guarantee, was approximately $0.4 million. Management believes the likelihood Rockford will have to perform under the guarantee is remote. No liability relating to the guarantee has been recorded in Rockford’s financial statements as of March 31, 2006. As a result of the October 2005 sale, Rockford has treated its Rockford Home Group operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

     The following represents the results of operation for Rockford’s Home Group for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 and are reported on Rockford’s statement of operations as results from discontinued operations:

		Three months ended
		March 31,
		2006				2005
		(In thousands)
Revenues		$	17			$	1,951
Cost of sales			11				1,246
Operating expenses			—				823
Interest and other (income) expense, net			—				(1	)
Net income (loss)		$	6			$	(117	)

4. Inventories

     Inventories consist of the following:

		March 31,				December 31,
		2006				2005
		(In thousands)
Raw materials		$	7,865			$	6,126
Work-in-progress			1,381				1,494
Finished goods			8,094				10,998
		$	17,340			$	18,618

5. Income (Loss) Per Share

     The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:

Net loss
Basic		$	(0.22	)		$	(0.07	)
Diluted		$	(0.22	)		$	(0.07	)

     The effect of 200,620 and 468,871 employee stock options were not included in the diluted loss per share calculation for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, as they were not dilutive. As of March 31, 2006 Rockford also has $9.5 million of 4.5% convertible senior subordinated secured notes due 2009 and warrants to purchase 961,573 shares of common stock at $3.73 per share. The noteholders may convert the notes into Rockford common stock at any time before the scheduled maturity date of June, 2009 and Rockford has the right automatically to convert the notes before maturity under certain circumstances. The conversion price at March 31, 2006, was $4.61 per share. If fully converted, the notes are scheduled to convert into 2,060,738 shares of Rockford’s common stock. The convertible senior subordinated secured notes and warrants were not included in the diluted loss per share calculation for March 31, 2006 and 2005, as they were not dilutive.

6. Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt

     Rockford entered into a 3-year $35 million asset-based credit facility with Wachovia Capital Financial Corporation (Western) as Agent and Wachovia Bank, National Association as Arranger on March 29, 2004 and as amended on June 10, 2004, December 30, 2004, August 31, 2005 and March 21, 2006. This credit facility, as amended, has a 4-year term and is reduced to a $25 million asset-based credit facility, which is collateralized by substantially all of Rockford’s assets and has a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 300 basis points or Prime plus 100 basis points. The balance on the facility and interest rate were $6.0 million and 8.25% per annum, respectively, at March 31, 2006. At March 31, 2006, Rockford was in compliance with all applicable covenants.

     The credit facility requires that Rockford maintain blocked lock box accounts, whereby Wachovia Capital takes possession of all cash receipts on a daily basis and these amounts are applied to reduce Rockford’s outstanding debt. In accordance with EITF 95-22: Balance Sheet Classification of Borrowings Outstanding under Revolving Credit Agreements That Include both a Subjective Acceleration Clause and a Lock-Box Arrangement, Rockford has recorded the $6.0 million and $6.1 million outstanding balance as at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 respectively, on the Wachovia Capital credit facility as short term. The credit facility matures on March 29, 2008.

     Rockford has outstanding $9.5 million of 4.5% convertible senior subordinated secured notes due 2009 and warrants to purchase 961,573 shares of common stock at $3.73 per share. These items are outstanding under agreements effective on June 10, 2004 and as amended on November 12, 2004. The net proceeds of approximately $9.5 million face value are allocated between the warrants and the notes based on their relative fair values. The value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The discount on the notes is being accreted ratably, over the term of the notes, to the $9.5 million amount due at maturity. Debt issuance costs were capitalized and are being amortized over the life of the notes. The noteholders may convert the notes into Rockford’s common stock at any time before the scheduled maturity date of June 10, 2009. The conversion price is $4.61 per share. If fully converted, the notes will convert into 2,060,738 shares of Rockford’s common stock. Rockford has the right automatically to convert the notes into common stock if the common stock trades above a specified target price for a specified period. Rockford may also force the exercise of the warrants under certain circumstances prior to their expiration date. The noteholders also have a second priority lien on certain Rockford assets.

7. Disposal Of Assets

     Q-Logic. Rockford sold the assets of its Q-Logic enclosures line of products on March 31, 2006 for $1.75 million. At closing on March 31, 2006, Rockford received $750,000 of cash and a non-interest bearing note for $1.0 million payable in 30 equal monthly payments. The note was discounted using Rockford’s effective borrowing rate and recorded as a note receivable at March 31, 2006. Rockford adjusted the carrying value of its Q-Logic assets by recording an impairment charge to cost of goods sold of approximately $0.8 million as of December 31, 2005. As a result of the sale of the Q-Logic assets on March 31, 2006, Rockford recorded a gain of approximately $0.1 million to interest and other expense.

8. Restructuring

     During the first quarter of 2006, Rockford restructured its European operations whereby Rockford will sell its product through master distributors. Historically, in some European countries Rockford distributed and sold products directly using its own warehouse and sales office. Rockford recorded a liability for the future lease obligations of the vacated facilities by taking a $0.7 million charge which increased cost of goods sold and general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

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

     This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of continuing operations should be read in conjunction with Rockford’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures included elsewhere in this report, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Continuing Operations included as part of Rockford’s Form 10-K for the year 2005, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2006.

Overview

     Rockford believes the strategic realignment announced in 2004, the investments made in new products, distribution channels and technologies during 2004 and 2005, and improvements it is implementing in its processes, have positioned Rockford for improved financial performance in 2006 and 2007. The strategic realignment has re-focused Rockford on its core mobile audio business and has resulted in the divestiture of its non-core businesses. Rockford has also restructured its European operations, ending direct sales of product to dealers and appointing new master distributors who will undertake European sales. On March 31, 2006, Rockford sold the assets and liabilities of its Q-Logic enclosure business. There were liabilities of approximately $0.9 million at March 31, 2006 associated with Rockford’s strategic realignment. In Rockford's press release relating to its first quarter 2006 results, Rockford anticipated that the $0.7 million charge related to Rockford's vacated European facilities would be included in interest and other expense. After further review, Rockford determined it should reclassify this expense, allocating $0.6 million to cost of goods sold and the balance to general and administrative expense. This reclassification did not change Rockford's net loss, but it reduced gross profit as a percent of net sales by 1.9% and reduced operating income by $0.7 million compared to the amounts reported in the press release.

     Rockford’s results in the first three months of 2006 were lower compared to the first three months of 2005. The 2006 period included charges related to the closures of Rockford’s European facilities and start-up costs incurred related to new product introductions for 2006, partially offset by reduced expense levels resulting from the realignments undertaken during 2004 and 2005. These items along with lower net sales contributed to an increase in net loss for the three months ended March 31, from $(0.07) per share in 2005 to $(0.22) per share in 2006. Net sales for the first three months of 2006 decreased compared to the first three months of 2005 by $9.7 million, or 24.5% primarily due to lower sales of Rockford Fosgate and Lightning Audio branded products, including the elimination of sales associated with the discontinued source unit business, as well as the elimination of sales of MB Quart and Omnifi branded products.

     Rockford continues to expect a shift in its sales mix into different distribution channels. In recent periods sales in the car audio aftermarket channels have been relatively flat or have had declines in sales while the OEM channels have seen growth in sales. Rockford does not see a reason to expect a change in these overall trends, although it is working to increase aftermarket sales. Assuming a moderate decline in the overall car audio aftermarket, Rockford believes that it should be able to stabilize or even increase its own aftermarket sales. The shift toward OEM sales has had positive effects, including expansion of Rockford’s product exposure beyond its traditional target market and smoothing out of sales seasonality.

Adoption of SFAS No. 123R

     As explained in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, as of January 1, 2006, Rockford has adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, Rockford recognized approximately $68,000 of compensation expense related to the expensing of stock options in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. This amount was allocated to cost of goods sold, sales and marketing, general and administrative, and research and development expenses, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

     Cost of goods sold primarily consists of raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing costs associated with production of products as well as warranty, warehousing and customer service expenses.

     Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of salaries, sales commissions, outbound freight, costs of advertising, trade shows and distributor and sales representative conferences.

     General and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries, facilities and other costs of accounting, finance, management information systems, administrative and executive departments, as well as legal, accounting and other professional fees and expenses associated with Rockford’s business.

     Research and development expenses primarily consist of salaries associated with research and development personnel and legal costs related to Rockford’s intellectual property.

In the following discussion, certain increases or decreases may differ due to rounding

Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2005

     Net Sales. Net sales decreased by $9.7 million, or 24.5%, to $29.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, from $39.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease in sales was primarily attributable to lower sales of the Rockford Fosgate and Lightning Audio branded product line, including the elimination of sales of Rockford’s discontinued source unit business, as well as the elimination of sales of MB Quart and Omnifi branded products. These lower sales were partially offset by increases in OEM sales and by lower sales discounts.

     U.S. sales decreased by $7.3 million, or 22.3%, to $25.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, from $33.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. International sales decreased by $2.3 million, or 35.2%, to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, from $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease in international sales was primarily due to lower sales of the Rockford Fosgate and Lighting Audio product lines. The transition to a new distribution method in Europe contributed to this decrease.

     Gross Profit. Gross Profit decreased by $3.5 million, or 30.6%, to $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, from $11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. As a percent of sales, gross profit decreased to 26.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2006, from 28.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The gross profit decrease is primarily due to lower net sales, higher manufacturing variances, including premium freight, related to 2006 new product launches, and additional reserves for excess and obsolete inventory resulting from a cancelled product introduction and a $0.6 million charge related to future obligations for Rockford’s vacated European warehouse facilities.

     Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $0.9 million, or 15.2%, to $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. As a percent of sales, sales and marketing expenses increased to 16.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from 14.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease in expenses was primarily due to lower sales commissions and reduced outbound freight resulting from lower sales.

     General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.8 million or 17.1%, to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. As a percent of sales, general and administrative expenses increased to 12.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from 11.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to lower personnel related expenses, facilities costs, bad debt expense and professional fees partially offset by a charge related to the future obligations for Rockford’s vacated European sales office.

     Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased by $0.2 million, or 23.4% to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, from $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. As a percent of sales, these expenses increased to 3.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2006, from 2.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase is primarily costs incurred related to 2006 new product introductions.

     Operating Income (Loss). Operating income (loss) declined by $2.0 million, to a $1.7 million operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $0.3 million operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2005. As a percent of sales, operating income (loss) declined to a 5.8% operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2006, from a 0.7% operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2005. This decline in operating income is primarily due to lower net sales and gross profit and a $0.7 million charge related to future obligations for Rockford’s vacated European facilities.

     Interest and Other Expense, Net. Interest and other expense, net, primarily consists of interest expense and currency gains and losses. Interest and other expense, net, decreased by $0.4 million, or 42.5%, to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower interest expense in 2006 due to lower levels of borrowings and the $0.1 million gain from the divestiture of the Q-Logic enclosure business.

     Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense from continuing operations decreased by $16,000 to a zero expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from a $16,000 expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The effective income tax rates were 0.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2006, and 3.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Rockford is not recording any tax benefit on losses in the first quarter of 2006 for financial reporting purposes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Rockford has financed its business primarily using existing capital, cash flows from operations, if any, proceeds from its private placement of convertible notes, and bank borrowings. Rockford’s cash flow used in operations was $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $2.6 million of cash flow used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Reductions in inventory and increases in other accrued expenses were the primary source of cash for Rockford during the first three months of 2006. Increases in accounts receivable was the primary use of cash during the first three months of 2006.

     Rockford entered into a 3-year $35 million asset-based credit facility with Wachovia Capital Financial Corporation (Western) as Agent and Wachovia Bank, National Association as Arranger on March 29, 2004 and as amended on June 10, 2004, December 30, 2004, August 31, 2005 and March 21, 2006. This credit facility, as amended, has a 4-year term and is reduced to a $25 million asset-based credit facility, which is collateralized by substantially all of Rockford’s assets and has a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 300 basis points or Prime plus 100 basis points. The balance on the facility and interest rate were $6.0 million and 8.25% per annum, respectively, at March 31, 2006. At March 31, 2006, Rockford was in compliance with all applicable covenants.

     Rockford has outstanding $9.5 million of 4.5% convertible senior subordinated secured notes due 2009 and warrants to purchase 961,573 shares of common stock at $3.73 per share. These items are outstanding under agreements effective on June 10, 2004 and as amended on November 12, 2004. The net proceeds of approximately $9.5 million are allocated between the warrants and the notes based on their relative fair values. The value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The discount on the notes is being accreted ratably, over the term of the notes, to the $9.5 million amount due at maturity. Debt issuance costs were capitalized and are being amortized over the life of the notes. The noteholders may convert the notes into Rockford’s common stock at any time before the scheduled maturity date of June 10, 2009. The conversion price is $4.61 per share. If fully converted, the notes will convert into 2,060,738 shares of Rockford’s common stock. Rockford has the right automatically to convert the notes into common stock if the common stock trades above a specified target price for a specified period. Rockford may also force the exercise of the warrants under certain circumstances prior to their expiration date. The noteholders also have a second priority lien on certain Rockford assets.

     Rockford anticipates, based on its cash flow forecast, that cash flow from operations at the expected level of operations for 2006 and 2007 and available borrowings under its credit facility will be adequate to meet Rockford’s requirements for current capital expenditures, working capital and interest payments for the next twelve months. Rockford anticipates that its operations will improve compared to its operations during 2005, so that its cash requirements in 2006 and 2007 will be less than its cash requirements in 2004 and 2005. Rockford did not budget for proceeds from non-core asset sales resulting from its strategic realignment, so that such proceeds have supplemented Rockford’s cash resources. The sale of the Q-Logic enclosure business completes the anticipated sale of non-core assets and Rockford does not expect additional sales to supplement its cash resources.

     If Rockford’s operations fail to improve, or if Rockford is otherwise unable to satisfy its liquidity needs as anticipated, it could be forced to seek one or more financing alternatives. These alternatives could include reducing or delaying capital expenditures, borrowing additional funds, restructuring indebtedness, selling additional assets, reducing expenditures for new product development, and cutting other costs. Some of these alternatives might not prove to be available on acceptable terms; others may substantially interfere with Rockford’s business and prospects. Rockford cannot give assurance that satisfactory actions could be put into effect on reasonable terms. If it needs to take some or all of these actions, but is not able to do so, Rockford may not be able to satisfy its liquidity needs. Under such circumstances, Rockford might not be able to continue its business as currently anticipated.

     Rockford had working capital of $21.7 million at March 31, 2006, compared to $23.2 million at December 31, 2005. The significant components of working capital at March 31, 2006 include:

	•		Rockford had no cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. Due to the daily sweep of cash by Wachovia Capital, described below, Rockford has reclassified cash and cash equivalents to net against its current debt balance.
	•		Rockford’s net accounts receivable were $24.5 million at March 31, 2006 compared to $24.7 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease in accounts receivable balances is primarily due to the reduction of trade receivables related to the divestiture of Rockford’s Q-Logic enclosure business.

	•		Rockford’s inventory position decreased from $18.6 million at the end of 2005 to $17.3 million at March 31, 2006. This inventory decrease was primarily due to improved inventory turns, and the reduction of inventory related to the divestiture of the Q-Logic enclosure business.
	•		Accounts payable decreased $0.3 million, from $10.2 million at December 31, 2005 to $9.9 million at March 31, 2006. This decrease was primarily due to lower inventory purchases.

     The Wachovia Capital credit facility requires that Rockford maintain blocked lock box accounts, whereby Wachovia Capital takes possession of all cash receipts on a daily basis and these amounts are applied to reduce Rockford’s outstanding debt. In accordance with EITF 95-22: Balance Sheet Classification of Borrowings Outstanding under Revolving Credit Agreements That Include both a Subjective Acceleration Clause and a Lock-Box Arrangement, Rockford has recorded the $6.0 million and $6.1 million outstanding balance as at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, on the Wachovia Capital credit facility as short term. The credit facility matures on March 29, 2008.

     Investing activities generated cash of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 versus a use of $0.2 million cash for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The source of cash from investing activities in the first three months of 2006 was primarily due to proceeds from the sale of Rockford’s Q-Logic enclosure business. Capital expenditures, the primary use of cash from investing activities, were $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 versus $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Rockford continues to work to improve management of its capital spending and has imposed increased payback requirements for approval of capital spending. Rockford’s capital spending is primarily in tooling for specific product lines, general machinery and equipment to support manufacturing and computer hardware and software to support operations. Rockford does not anticipate significant changes in its future capital spending requirements, other than reductions resulting from its divestiture of non-core businesses and elimination of the capital spending required for those businesses.

     As of March 31, 2006, Rockford was not involved in any unconsolidated Variable Interest Entity (VIE) transactions.

Contractual Obligations as of March 31, 2006

     Rockford had certain contractual obligations at March 31, 2006 due as follows (dollars in thousands):

		Payments due by period
		Less than																More than
Contractual Obligations		Total				1 year				1-3 years				3-5 years				5 years
Asset-based credit facility		$	7,117			$	504			$	6,613				—				—
Notes payable		$	10,889			$	427			$	855			$	9,607				—
Capital leases and other long-term liabilities		$	874			$	280			$	321			$	204			$	69
Operating Leases		$	5,457			$	2,150			$	2,928			$	379				—

There have not been material changes in Rockford’s Operating Leases since December 31, 2005.

     Rockford did not have any material outstanding noncancelable purchase obligations at March 31, 2006. Several of Rockford’s sourcing agreements require Rockford to place monthly purchase orders, but do not require a minimum purchase quantity or dollar amount. Rockford does not anticipate significant liability in connection with these contractual requirements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

     The methods, estimates and judgments Rockford uses in applying its accounting policies have a significant impact on the results reported in its consolidated financial statements. Rockford evaluates its estimates and judgments on an on-going basis. Rockford bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that Rockford believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Rockford’s experience and assumptions form the basis for its judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may vary from what Rockford anticipates and different assumptions or estimates about the future could change its reported results. Rockford believes the following accounting policies are the most critical to Rockford, in that they are important to the portrayal of Rockford’s financial statements and they require Rockford’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements:

     Revenue Recognition. Rockford recognizes revenue pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin Nos. 101 and 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. Accordingly, Rockford recognizes revenue and records sales, net of related discounts, when all of the following criteria are met:

	•		Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
	•		The price to the customer is fixed or determinable; and
	•		Collectibility is reasonably assured.

     Rockford sells almost all of its products F.O.B. place of shipment, so that upon shipment of products, the above criteria are met and revenue is recognized.

     Rockford also records reductions to revenue for estimated customer returns and additional sales incentive offerings, such as growth and volume incentive rebates and prompt pay discounts, based on historical rates. Should a greater proportion of customers return product or redeem incentives than estimated, Rockford may need to make additional reductions to revenue.

     Share-Based Compensation. As part of Rockford’s adoption of SFAS No. 123R as of January 1, 2006, Rockford was required to recognize the fair value of share-based compensation awards as an expense. Rockford applied the Black-Scholes option-pricing model in order to determine the fair value of stock options on the date of grant, and Rockford applied judgment in estimating key assumptions that are important elements in the model such as the expected stock-price volatility, expected stock option life and expected forfeiture rates. Rockford’s estimates of these important assumptions are based on historical data and judgment regarding market trends and factors. If actual results are not consistent with Rockford’s assumptions and judgments used in estimating these factors, Rockford may be required to record additional stock-based compensation expense.

     Intangible Assets. Rockford accounts for acquired businesses under SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. When Rockford accounts for acquired businesses as purchases, it allocates purchase prices to the assets, definite-lived intangible assets, and liabilities acquired based on the estimated fair values on the respective acquisition dates. Based on these values, Rockford allocates any excess purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired to goodwill. Prior to December 31, 2005, Rockford had written off all remaining goodwill because of its impairment as outlined in the notes to Rockford’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005.

     Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Rockford maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, based on historical rates, for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The assessment of customers’ ability to pay generally includes direct contact with the customer, investigation into customers’ financial status, as well as consideration of customers’ payment history. If the financial condition of Rockford’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, Rockford might need to make additional allowances.

     Inventory. Rockford carries inventory at the lower of cost or market, computed using the weighted average method. For purposes of the lower of cost or market calculations, Rockford writes down obsolete or unmarketable inventory in amounts equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Rockford reviews information such as quantity on hand versus forecasted use and inventory aging listings to assist in this assessment. If actual future demand or market conditions are less favorable than projected, Rockford may need to take additional inventory write-downs. Any write-downs are reflected in cost of sales in the period incurred.

     Warranty. Rockford maintains a warranty reserve, based on historical rates, for costs associated with the repair or replacement of product that fails to meet its standard warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Should actual product failure rates differ from its estimates, Rockford would need to make revisions to its estimated accruals.

     Income Taxes. Rockford must make certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of certain tax assets and liabilities, which arise from differences in the timing of recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial statement purposes. Rockford must assess the likelihood that it will be able to recover Rockford’s deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, Rockford must increase its provision, or decrease its benefit, by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets that Rockford estimates will not ultimately be recoverable. Based on Rockford’s review of its deferred tax assets at March 31, 2006, it determined that a valuation allowance in the amount of $17.5 million was required and has reserved against all of its deferred tax assets.

     Inflation

     Inflation has not had a significant impact on Rockford’s operations since it operates in a market that requires continuing price decreases and Rockford has historically been able to insist on continuing price decreases from its suppliers. Rising metal prices and increasing transportation costs may have an impact on Rockford’s operations in 2006 and 2007, if Rockford is not able to secure concessions from its suppliers. Rockford sources a significant portion of its products and parts from China. Although most of its purchases from China are priced in dollars, the suppliers’ ability to maintain or reduce current prices may be affected by the recent change in China’s exchange rate policy and by changes in the exchange rate.

     New Accounting Standards

     In 2006 the FASB issued Statement No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, which amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities. This Statement permits an entity to choose either of the amortization or fair value measurement methods for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. The Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. However, earlier adoption of the Statement is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements for any interim period of that fiscal year. Rockford does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

     Rockford’s primary market risk exposures are in the areas of interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. Its holdings of cash equivalents are subject to interest rate fluctuations, but Rockford believes this risk is immaterial due to the short-term nature of these investments and the essentially zero foreign cash balances it carries. The outstanding balances on its credit facilities are also subject to interest rate fluctuations.

     The value of the U.S. dollar affects Rockford’s financial results. Changes in exchange rates may positively or negatively affect revenues, gross margins, operating expenses and shareholders’ equity as expressed in U.S. dollars. Historically, Rockford’s exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations were modest because it sold its products primarily in U.S. dollars and held only a small percentage of its assets outside the U.S. However, Rockford conducts a portion of its business in foreign currencies including currencies in Canada and Europe.

     In recent years, Rockford has sourced an increasing percentage of its products, or of raw materials and parts for its products, from outside the United States. Most of these raw materials and parts are sourced in Asia, principally in China. Although most of these purchases are denominated in dollars, an extended decline in the value of the dollar may affect the terms and prices on which Rockford is able to purchase from its foreign suppliers and may, therefore, increase Rockford’s costs. The recent change in the Chinese government’s exchange rate policies may have increased the risk of adverse changes in the dollar/renminbi exchange rate.

     At March 31, 2006, Rockford did not have any outstanding forward contracts or other financial hedges against exchange rate risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

   Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     Rockford’s principal executive officer (“CEO”) and principal financial officer (“CFO”) are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over its financial reporting. They have reviewed Rockford’s disclosure controls and procedures during the last 30 days in order to comply with the SEC’s requirements for certification of this Form 10-Q. Rockford is a non-accelerated filer and, accordingly, it is required to comply with the SEC’s enhanced requirements for certification and attestation of internal control over financial reporting for its Form 10-K for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.

     Rockford is currently evaluating what changes will be needed to meet the enhanced reporting relating to internal controls required by the Sarbanes Oxley Act and subsequent SEC regulations. There was no change in internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the first quarter of 2006, and through the date of filing, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Rockford’s internal controls over financial reporting.

     Based on their review of Rockford’s disclosure controls and policies, Rockford’s CEO and CFO concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Rockford in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and included controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Rockford in such reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Material Weaknesses of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     None

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

     Since the date of Rockford’s Annual Report for the year 2005, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2006, there have been no additional material developments in connection with the patent claim described in the Legal Proceedings section of the Annual Report.

     Rockford is, and may continue to be, a party to various lawsuits and arbitrations from time to time. As at March 31, 2006, Rockford was not a party to any legal proceedings that it believes are material, other than the effect of the expenses associated with the lawsuits described in the Annual Report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

     Rockford is not aware of any material changes in the Risk Factors described in Item 1A to Rockford’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on March 31, 2006.
