CONTAIN ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT YOU FIND IMPORTANT. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY
READ THIS ENTIRE DOCUMENT, INCLUDING THE "RISK FACTORS" AND OUR FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND THEIR RELATED NOTES BEFORE MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION. UNLESS

                                   THE COMPANY

         Emerson Radio Corp. operates in two business segments:

         -        consumer electronics; and

         -        sporting goods.

The consumer electronics segment designs, sources, imports and markets a variety
of consumer electronic products and licenses its trademarks for other selected
products globally. The sporting goods segment, which is operated through our
ownership of approximately 52.3% of Sport Supply Group, Inc., distributes and
markets sports related equipment and leisure products primarily to institutional
customers in the United States.

         We were originally incorporated in the State of New York in 1956 under
the name Major Electronics Corp. In 1977, we reincorporated in the State of New
Jersey and changed our name to Emerson Radio Corp. In 1994, we were
reincorporated in Delaware. Our principal executive offices are located at Nine
Entin Road, Parsippany, New Jersey 07054-0430. Our telephone number in
Parsippany, New Jersey, is (973) 884-5800.




RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

GIRLPOWER(TM)


         In January 2003, we replaced our Hello Kitty(R) product line with our
proprietary GirlPower(TM) branded product line. Launched early last year,
GirlPower(TM) is aimed to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding teen girls
marketplace. Through the promotion of our proprietary GirlPower(TM) branded
theme products launched earlier this fiscal year, we believe that based on the
revenues generated by GirlPower(TM) since its launch and future licensing
opportunities that we believe exist, the revenues earned from the sale of
products subject to the Hello Kitty(R) license agreement can be replaced.





LETTER OF INTENT WITH SANLIAN GROUP OF SHANDONG, CHINA


         In January 2003, we entered into a letter of intent to have our
Emerson(R) branded products distributed exclusively throughout China by the
Sanlian Group of Shandong China. The agreement contemplates the supply and
distribution of our consumer electronics products through Sanlian's 200 retail
stores and maintenance service centers, as well as its extensive e-commerce
sales network. In addition, Sanlian has agreed to license the Emerson(R) brand
for


                                       -1-




additional product categories that have yet to be defined by Sanlian and us and
has agreed to cooperate with us in the design, development and sourcing for such
products.



LICENSING AGREEMENT WITH NICKELODEON



         In May 2003, we entered into a multi-year licensing agreement with
Nickelodeon to manufacture and market an assortment of portable audio and
television products based on several of Nickelodeon's most successful
properties, including SpongeBob SquarePants(R) and the Fairly OddParents(R),
which are expected to be launched in Fall 2003.

(1)  Prior to March 23, 2001, the investment in Sport Supply Group, Inc., of
     which we own approximately 52.3%, was accounted for under the equity method
     of accounting. On March 23, 2001, a majority interest in SSG was reached
     and required this interest be accounted for as a partial purchase to the
     extent of the change in control. The assets and liabilities of SSG have
     been revalued to fair value to the extent of our interest in SSG at such
     time. SSG's results of operations and the minority interest related to
     those results have been included in our results of operations as though it
     had been acquired at April 1, 2000.



(2)  For the nine months ended December 31, 2001, and the fiscal years ended
     March 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, dilutive securities included 3,395,000,
     3,531,000, 3,066,000 and 5,876,000 shares, respectively, assuming
     conversion of Series A preferred stock at a price equal to 80% of the
     weighted average market value of a share of common stock, determined as of
     December 31, 2001, March 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. For the
     nine months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, and for fiscal years ended
     March 31, 2002 and 2001, dilutive securities also included 838,000,
     473,000, 452,000 and 437,000 shares, respectively, assuming conversion of
     1,558,000, 1,684,000, 1,645,000 and 1,658,000 options, respectively. For
     the nine months ended December 31, 2001 and the fiscal year ended March 31,
     2002, dilutive securities also included 5,204,000 shares assuming the
     conversion of convertible debentures. Per common share data is based on the
     net income or loss, the deduction of preferred stock dividend requirements
     (resulting in a loss attributable to common stockholders for fiscal 1999
     and 1998) and the weighted average of common stock outstanding during each
     period shown. Loss per share does not include potentially dilutive
     securities assumed outstanding since the effects of such conversion would
     be anti-dilutive.


(3)  Calculated based on common shareholders' equity divided by the basic

                                  RISK FACTORS


         You should carefully consider these risk factors in addition to the
remainder of this prospectus before purchasing our common stock. Additional
risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently think are immaterial may
also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks occur, our
business, financial condition or operating results could be adversely affected.
In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may
lose all or part of your investment.


BUSINESS RELATED RISKS


THE LOSS OF ANY OF OUR KEY CUSTOMERS, INCLUDING WAL-MART, TARGET AND K-MART,
COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR REVENUES AND COULD DECREASE OUR EARNINGS.



         We are highly dependent upon sales of our consumer electronic products
to certain of our customers, including Wal-Mart, Target and K-Mart. During our
fiscal years ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, Wal-Mart stores accounted for
approximately 22% and 41%, respectively, Target stores accounted for
approximately 19% and 14%, respectively, and K-Mart accounted for less than 10%
of our consolidated net revenues for such periods. During the nine months ended
December 31, 2002, Wal-Mart, Target and K-Mart accounted for approximately 25%,
18% and 14%, respectively, of our consolidated net revenues for such periods.
Although no other customer in either of our operating segments accounted for
greater than 10% of our consolidated net revenues during these periods, other
customers may account for more than 10% of our consolidated net revenues in
future periods. All purchases of our products by customers in both of our
operating segments are made through purchase orders and we do not have any
long-term contracts with any of our customers. The loss of customers such as
Wal-Mart, Target or K-Mart or any of our other customers to which we sell a
significant amount of our products or any significant portion of orders from
Wal-Mart, Target or K-Mart or such other customers or any material adverse
change in the financial condition of such customers could negatively affect our
revenues and decrease our earnings.



THE FAILURE TO MAINTAIN OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR LICENSEES AND DISTRIBUTORS OR
THE FAILURE TO OBTAIN NEW LICENSEES OR DISTRIBUTION RELATIONSHIPS COULD
NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR REVENUES AND DECREASE OUR EARNINGS.



         We maintain license agreements that allow licensees to use our
Emerson(R) and H.H. Scott(R) trademarks for the manufacture and sale of consumer
electronics and other products. In addition, we maintain distribution agreements
for the distribution of our consumer electronics products into defined
geographic areas. Although we have entered into agreements with certain of our
licensees and distributors of consumer electronics products, most of which have
a term of three years or less and expire between November 2003 and December
2006, we cannot assure that such agreements will be renewed when the terms of
such agreements expire or that our relationships with our licensees or
distributors will be maintained on satisfactory terms or at all. The failure to
maintain our relationships with our licensees and distributors, the failure to
obtain new licensees or distribution relationships or the failure by our
licensees to protect the integrity


                                       -6-




and reputation of our Emerson(R) and H.H. Scott(R) trademarks could negatively
affect our licensing revenues and decrease our earnings.



         Our sporting goods business licenses many well-known names and
trademarks, including Voit(R) and MacGregor(R). These licenses allow us to
manufacture, promote, sell and distribute specified products and equipment
throughout the world. The licensing agreements with Voit(R) and MacGregor(R)
expire in 2004 and 2040, respectively. Each of these agreements provides for
renewal terms, however, we cannot assure that such agreements will be renewed
when the terms of such agreements expire or that our relationship with these
licensors will be maintained on satisfactory terms or at all. The non-renewal or
termination of one or more of our material licenses in our sporting goods
business could materially reduce our ability to sell products bearing such names
and trademarks and decrease our earnings.


OUR REVENUES AND EARNINGS COULD BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED IF WE CANNOT ANTICIPATE
MARKET TRENDS OR ENHANCE EXISTING PRODUCTS OR ACHIEVE MARKET ACCEPTANCE OF NEW
PRODUCTS.


         Our success is dependent to a large part on our ability to successfully
anticipate and respond to changing consumer demands and trends in a timely
manner. In addition, to increase our penetration of current markets and gain
footholds in new markets for our products, we must maintain existing products
and integrate them with new products. We may not be successful in developing,
marketing and releasing new products that respond to technological developments
or changing customer needs and preferences. We may also experience difficulties
that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction and sale of
these new products. In addition, these new products may not adequately meet the
requirements of the marketplace and may not achieve any significant degree of
market acceptance. If release dates of any future products or enhancements to
our products are delayed, or if these products or enhancements fail to achieve
market acceptance when released, our sales volume may decline and earnings could
be negatively affected. In addition, new products or enhancements by our
competitors may cause customers to defer or forgo purchases of our products,
which could also negatively affect our revenues and earnings.






WE DEPEND ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF SUPPLIERS FOR OUR COMPONENTS AND RAW MATERIALS
AND ANY INTERRUPTION IN THE AVAILABILITY OF THESE COMPONENTS AND RAW MATERIALS
USED IN OUR PRODUCTS WOULD INTERFERE WITH OUR ABILITY TO MANUFACTURE AND
DISTRIBUTE OUR PRODUCTS.


         We rely on a limited number of suppliers, most of which are located
outside of the United States, for the components and raw materials used in our
consumer electronics and sporting good products. Although there are many
suppliers for each of our component parts and raw materials, we are dependent on
a limited number of suppliers for many of the significant components and raw
materials. This reliance involves a number of significant risks, including:

         -        unavailability of materials and interruptions in delivery of
                  components and raw materials from our suppliers;

         -        manufacturing delays caused by such unavailability or
                  interruptions in delivery;

                                       -7-



         -        fluctuations in the quality and the price of components and
                  raw materials; and

         -        risks related to foreign operations.


We do not have any long-term or exclusive purchase commitments with any of our
suppliers. Avatar Mfg., Tonic Electronics and Daewoo are our largest suppliers
of components for our consumer electronics products, each of which accounted for
more than 10% of our purchases of components for our consumer electronics
products for each of our last two fiscal years. In addition, during the nine
months ended December 31, 2002, GMT Industries also accounted for more than 10%
of our purchases of components for our consumer electronics products. Our
failure to maintain existing relationships with our suppliers or to establish
new relationships in the future could also negatively affect our ability to
obtain our components and raw materials used in our products in a timely manner.
If we are unable to obtain ample supply of product from our existing suppliers
or alternative sources of supply, we may be unable to satisfy our customers'
orders which could reduce our revenues and adversely affect our relationship
with our customers.


THE OPERATING RESULTS OF OUR SPORTING GOOD SEGMENT COULD BE AFFECTED BY
BUDGETARY RESTRICTIONS OF SCHOOLS AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.

         A substantial portion of our sporting goods product revenues are
generated through sales to the institutional market, including:

         -        public and private schools;

         -        colleges and universities;

         -        military academies;

         -        municipal and governmental agencies;

         -        military facilities;

         -        youth sports leagues; and

         -        certain retail sporting goods chains.


As a result, our sporting goods business is substantially dependent on the
budgetary allowances of schools as well as local, state and federal government
agencies. Restrictions or reductions to the budgeted spending of these entities
could reduce the amount of goods purchased from us and could materially
adversely affect our revenues and earnings.



IF OUR ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS ARE UNABLE TO DELIVER OUR PRODUCTS IN
THE REQUIRED AMOUNTS AND IN A TIMELY FASHION, WE COULD EXPERIENCE DELAYS OR
REDUCTIONS IN SHIPMENTS TO OUR CUSTOMERS.


                                       -8-




         All of our consumer electronic products and approximately 17.0% of our
sporting good products are manufactured in accordance with our specifications by
original equipment manufacturers located in:



         -        South Korea;



         -        China;



         -        Malaysia; and



         -        Thailand.



If we are unable to obtain our products from the original equipment
manufacturers located in these countries in the required quantities and quality
and in a timely fashion, we could experience delays or reductions in product
shipments to our customers which could negatively affect our ability to meet the
requirements of our customers, as well as our relationships with our customers.



UNANTICIPATED DISRUPTIONS IN OUR OPERATIONS OR SLOWDOWNS BY OUR SUPPLIERS,
MANUFACTURERS AND SHIPPING COMPANIES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO
DELIVER OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICE OUR CUSTOMERS.


         Our ability to provide high quality customer service, process and
fulfill orders and manage inventory depends on:

         -        the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our call center,
                  distribution center and manufacturing facilities related to
                  our sporting goods segment; and

         -        the timely performance of third party manufacturers and
                  suppliers, catalog printers and shipping companies.

Any material disruption or slowdown in the operation of our call center,
distribution center, manufacturing facilities or management information systems,
or comparable disruptions or slowdowns suffered by our principal manufacturers,
suppliers and shippers could cause delays in our ability to receive, process and
fulfill customer orders and may cause orders to be canceled, lost or delivered
late, goods to be returned or receipt of goods to be refused. Our sporting goods
segment ships approximately 70% of its products using United Parcel Service. A
strike by UPS or any of our other major carriers could materially adversely
affect our results of operations as a result of our failure to deliver our
products in a timely manner and using other more expensive freight carriers.

         In addition to the foregoing, the International Longshore and Warehouse
Union, which is the union of dock workers that receives our cargo of import
containers on the West Coast, and the Pacific Maritime Association, a group of
global ship owners and terminal operators, renew their contracts periodically. A
strike by the ILWU, or lockout by the PMA, would significantly slow the receipt
of our import products and could cause delays in our ability to process and
fulfill

                                       -9-




customer orders. In addition, these delays may cause orders to be canceled or
delivered late and may result in orders being returned or receipt of goods being
refused. Any strike or lockout could also cause an increase in backlog and
freight charges such as port congestion surcharges, extended peak season
surcharges and charges as a result of force majeure clauses, all of which could
materially adversely affect our ability to deliver our products to our customers
in a timely manner and cause our operating expenses to materially increase.



THE OPERATIONS OF OUR SPORTING GOODS SEGMENT ARE SUBJECT TO HIGH FIXED COSTS
WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR EARNINGS.



         The operations and maintenance of our call center, distribution center,
manufacturing facilities and management information systems related to our
sporting goods segment involve substantial fixed costs. Paper and postage are
significant components of our sporting goods segment operating costs. Catalog
mailings entail substantial paper, postage, and costs associated with catalog
development, each of which is subject to price fluctuations. If net revenues are
substantially below expectations, these fixed costs may not be proportionately
reduced and could materially adversely affect the earnings of our sporting goods
segment and, in turn, our consolidated earnings.



OUR REVENUES AND EARNINGS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY FOREIGN REGULATIONS AND
CHANGES IN THE POLITICAL, PUBLIC HEALTH AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN THE FOREIGN
COUNTRIES IN WHICH WE OPERATE OUR BUSINESS.



         We derive a significant portion of our revenues from sales of products
manufactured by third parties located primarily in China, South Korea, Malaysia
and Thailand. In addition, third parties located in these and other countries
located in the same region produce and supply many of the components and raw
materials used in our products. Conducting an international business inherently
involves a number of difficulties and risks that could adversely affect our
ability to generate revenues and could subject us to increased costs, including
the following:



         -        currency fluctuations which could cause an increase in the
                  price of the components and raw materials used in our products
                  and a decrease in our profits;



         -        more stringent export restrictions in the countries in which
                  we operate which could adversely affect our ability to deliver
                  our products to our customers;



         -        tariffs and other trade barriers which could make it more
                  expensive for us to obtain and deliver our products to our
                  customers;



         -        political instability and economic downturns in these
                  countries which could adversely affect our ability to obtain
                  our products from our manufacturers or deliver our products to
                  our customers in a timely fashion; and



         -        seasonal reductions in business activity in these countries
                  during the summer months which could adversely affect our
                  sales.


                                      -10-




In addition, the recent outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS,
which has had particular impact in China, Hong Kong and Singapore, could have a
negative effect on our operations. Our operations, including our ability to
obtain our products in a timely fashion, may be impacted by a number of SARS
related factors, including disrupting the operation of our suppliers,
manufacturers and shipping companies, each of which could adversely affect our
earnings.



         We have experienced, and may in the future experience, many of these
risks and cannot predict the impact of any particular risk on our operations.
However, any of these factors may materially adversely affect our revenues
and/or increase our operating expenses.



THE SEASONALITY OF OUR BUSINESS, AS WELL AS CHANGES IN CONSUMER SPENDING AND
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, MAY CAUSE OUR QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS TO FLUCTUATE AND
CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE TO DECLINE.



         Our net revenue and operating results may vary significantly from
quarter to quarter. The main factors that may cause these fluctuations are:


         -        seasonal variations in operating results;

         -        variations in the sales of our products to our significant
                  customers;


         -        increases in returned consumer electronics products due to
                  more liberal product return policies offered by our customers
                  to the ultimate purchaser of our products;


         -        variations in manufacturing and supplier relationships;


         -        our inability to correctly anticipate and provide for
                  inventory requirements in the event our customer orders exceed
                  our expectations;


         -        the discretionary nature of our customers' demands and
                  spending patterns;

         -        changes in market and economic conditions; and

         -        competition.

In addition, our quarterly operating results could be materially adversely
affected by political instability, war, acts of terrorism or other disasters.


         Sales of our consumer electronics products are somewhat seasonal due to
consumer spending patterns which tend to result in significantly stronger sales
in our September and December fiscal quarters, especially as a result of the
holiday season. Our sporting goods segment is also somewhat seasonal due to
stronger demand for its products during the March fiscal quarter due to volume
generated by spring and summer sports, favorable outdoor weather conditions and
school needs before summer closings and weaker revenues during the December
fiscal quarter. These patterns will probably not change significantly in the
future. Although we


                                      -11-



believe that the seasonality of our business is based primarily on the timing of
consumer demand for our products, fluctuations in operating results can also
result from other factors affecting us and our competitors, including new
product developments or introductions, availability of products for resale,
competitive pricing pressures, changes in product mix and pricing and product
reviews and other media coverage. Due to the seasonality of our business, our
results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of our results for
the year.

         Our sales and earnings can also be affected by changes in the general
economy since purchases of consumer electronics and sporting goods are generally
discretionary for consumers and subject to budgetary constraints by schools and
government agencies. Our success is influenced by a number of economic factors
affecting disposable consumer income, such as employment levels, business
conditions, budgetary restrictions of schools and government agencies, interest
rates and taxation rates. Adverse changes in these economic factors, among
others, may restrict consumer spending or increase budgetary restrictions at
schools and government agencies, thereby negatively affecting our sales and
profitability.

         As a result of these and other factors, revenues for any quarter are
subject to significant variation which may adversely affect the market price for
our common stock.


WE DEPEND ON THIRD PARTY SALES REPRESENTATIVES TO GENERATE A MATERIAL PORTION OF
OUR CONSUMER ELECTRONIC PRODUCT REVENUES.



         A portion of our consumer electronic products sales are made through
third party sales representative organizations whose members are not our
employees. Our level of sales depends on the effectiveness of these
organizations, as well as the effectiveness of our own employees. Some of these
third party representatives may sell, with our permission, competitive products
manufactured by other third parties as well as our products. During our fiscal
years ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 and nine months ended December 31, 2002,
these organizations were responsible for approximately 55%, 34% and 62%,
respectively, of our net consumer electronics revenues during such periods. In
addition, two of these representative organizations were responsible for a
significant portion of these revenues. If any of our third party sales
representative organizations engaged by us, especially our two largest, fails
adequately to promote, market and sell our consumer electronics products, our
revenues could be adversely affected until a replacement organization or
distributor could be retained by us. Finding replacement organizations and
distributors could be a time consuming process during which our revenues could
be negatively impacted.


OUR EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL
FUNDS AND MAY INCREASE OUR VULNERABILITY TO ECONOMIC OR BUSINESS DOWNTURNS.


         Our consolidated indebtedness aggregated approximately $32.0 million as
of December 31, 2002. As a result, we are subject to the risks associated with
significant indebtedness, including:


         -        we must dedicate a portion of our cash flows from operations
                  to pay debt service costs and, as a result, we have less funds
                  available for operations and other purposes;

                                      -12-



         -        it may be more difficult and expensive to obtain additional
                  funds through financings, if available at all;

         -        we are more vulnerable to economic downturns and fluctuations
                  in interest rates, less able to withstand competitive
                  pressures and less flexible in reacting to changes in our
                  industry and general economic conditions; and

         -        if we default under any of our existing credit facilities or
                  if our creditors demand payment of a portion or all of our
                  indebtedness, we may not have sufficient funds to make such
                  payments.




WE HAVE PLEDGED SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF OUR ASSETS TO SECURE OUR BORROWINGS AND ARE
SUBJECT TO COVENANTS THAT MAY RESTRICT OUR ABILITY TO OPERATE OUR BUSINESS.



         A large portion of our indebtedness is secured by substantially all of
our assets. If we default under the indebtedness secured by our assets, those
assets would be available to the secured creditor to satisfy our obligations to
the secured creditor. In addition, our credit facilities impose certain
restrictive covenants, including financial, ownership, operational and net worth
covenants. Failure to satisfy any of these covenants could result in all or any
of the following:


         -        acceleration of the payment of our outstanding indebtedness;

         -        our inability to borrow additional amounts under our existing
                  financing arrangements; and

         -        our inability to secure financing on favorable terms or at all
                  from alternative sources.


Any of these consequences could significantly reduce the amount of cash and
financing available to us which in turn would adversely affect our ability to
operate our business, including acquiring our products from our manufacturers
and distributing our products to our customers.





THE OWNERSHIP OF OUR COMMON STOCK BY GEOFFREY P. JURICK, OUR CHAIRMAN, CHIEF
EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND PRESIDENT, SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCES THE INFLUENCE OF OUR
OTHER STOCKHOLDERS.

         Following the offering and the resolution of the litigation described
under "Selling Stockholder," the selling stockholder will own approximately
20.7% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, the selling stockholder will
continue to have the ability to influence significantly the actions that require
stockholder approval, including:

         -        the election of our directors; and

         -        the approval of mergers, sales of assets or other corporate
                  transactions or matters submitted for stockholder approval.

                                      -13-



As a result, our other stockholders may have little or no influence over matters
submitted for stockholder approval. In addition, the selling stockholder's
influence could preclude any unsolicited acquisition of us and consequently
materially adversely affect the price of our common stock.


WE ARE SUBJECT TO INTENSE COMPETITION IN THE INDUSTRIES IN WHICH WE OPERATE
WHICH COULD CAUSE MATERIAL REDUCTIONS IN THE SELLING PRICE OF OUR PRODUCTS OR
LOSSES OF OUR MARKET SHARE.


         The consumer electronics industry and the institutional market for
sporting goods and leisure products are highly competitive, especially with
respect to pricing and the introduction of new products and features. Our
consumer electronics segment competes in the low to medium-priced sector of the
consumer electronics market and competes primarily on the basis of:

         -        reliability;

         -        quality;

         -        price;

         -        design;

         -        consumer acceptance of the Emerson(R)trademark; and

         -        quality service and support to retailers and our customers.

Our sporting goods segment competes in the institutional sporting goods market
principally with local sporting goods dealers, retail sporting goods stores,
other direct mail catalog marketers and providers of sporting goods on the
Internet. Our sporting goods segment competes principally on the basis of:

         -        brand;

         -        price;

         -        product availability; and

         -        customer service.

In recent years we and many of our competitors have regularly lowered prices,
and we expect these pricing pressures to continue. If these pricing pressures
are not mitigated by increases in volume, cost reductions or changes in product
mix, our revenues and profits could be substantially reduced. As compared to us,
many of our competitors have:

         -        significantly longer operating histories;

                                      -14-



         -        significantly greater managerial, financial, marketing,
                  technical and other competitive resources; and

         -        greater name recognition.

As a result, our competitors may be able to:

         -        adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes
                  in customer requirements;

         -        devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their
                  products and services; and

         -        respond more effectively to pricing pressures.

These factors could materially adversely affect our operations and financial
condition. In addition, competition could increase if:

         -        new companies enter the market;

         -        existing competitors expand their product mix; or

         -        we expand into new markets.

An increase in competition could result in material price reductions or loss of
our market share.

OUR BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE CANNOT PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS OR IF WE INFRINGE ON THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF OTHERS.


         Our ability to compete effectively will depend on our ability to
maintain and protect our proprietary rights. We own the Emerson(R) trademark,
which is materially important to our business, as well as our other trademarks
and proprietary rights that are used for certain of our home entertainment and
consumer electronics products. In addition, we license names and trademarks in
connection with our sporting goods business. Our trademarks are registered
throughout the world, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, France,
Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom. However, third parties may seek to
challenge, invalidate, circumvent or render unenforceable any proprietary rights
owned by or licensed to us. In addition, in the event third party licensees fail
to protect the integrity of our trademarks, the value of these marks could be
adversely affected.



         The laws of some foreign countries in which we operate may not protect
our proprietary rights to the same extent as do laws in the United States. The
protections afforded by the laws of such countries may not be adequate to
protect our intellectual property rights. Our inability to protect our
proprietary rights could materially adversely affect the license of our
tradenames and trademarks to third parties as well as our ability to sell our
products. Litigation may be necessary to:


                                      -15-



         -        enforce our intellectual property rights;

         -        protect our trade secrets; and

         -        determine the scope and validity of such intellectual property
                  rights.


Any such litigation, whether or not successful, could result in substantial
costs and diversion of resources and management's attention to the operation of
our business.



         We may receive notice of claims of infringement of other parties'
proprietary rights. Such actions could result in litigation and we could incur
significant costs and diversion of resources in defending such claims. The party
making such claims could secure a judgment awarding substantial damages, as well
as injunctive or other equitable relief. Such relief could effectively block our
ability to make, use, sell, distribute or market our products and services in
such jurisdiction. We may also be required to seek licenses to such intellectual
property. We cannot predict, however, whether such licenses would be available
or, if available, that such licenses could be obtained on terms that are
commercially reasonable and acceptable to us. The failure to obtain the
necessary licenses or other rights could delay or preclude the sale, manufacture
or distribution of our products and could result in increased costs to us.


WE COULD BE EXPOSED TO PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS FOR WHICH OUR PRODUCT LIABILITY
INSURANCE MAY BE INADEQUATE.

         A failure of any of the products marketed by us, particularly those
products sold by our sporting goods segment, may subject us to the risk of
product liability claims and litigation arising from injuries allegedly caused
by the improper functioning or design of our products. Although we currently
maintain product liability insurance in amounts which we consider adequate, we
cannot assure that:

         -        our insurance will provide adequate coverage against potential
                  liabilities;

         -        adequate product liability insurance will continue to be
                  available in the future; or

         -        our insurance can be maintained on acceptable terms.


To the extent product liability losses are beyond the limits or scope of our
insurance coverage, our expenses could materially increase.


WE MAY SEEK TO MAKE ACQUISITIONS THAT PROVE UNSUCCESSFUL OR STRAIN OR DIVERT OUR
RESOURCES.


        We may seek to grow our business through acquisitions of related
businesses. Such acquisitions present risks that could materially adversely
affect our earnings, including:


         -        the diversion of our management's attention from our everyday
                  business activities;

         -        the assimilation of the operations and personnel of the
                  acquired business;

                                      -16-



         -        the contingent and latent risks associated with the past
                  operations of, and other unanticipated problems arising in,
                  the acquired business; and

         -        the need to expand management, administration and operational
                  systems.

If we make such acquisitions we cannot predict whether:

         -        we will be able to successfully integrate the operations of
                  any new businesses into our business;

         -        we will realize any anticipated benefits of completed
                  acquisitions; or

         -        there will be substantial unanticipated costs associated with
                  acquisitions.

In addition, future acquisitions by us may result in:

         -        potentially dilutive issuances of our equity securities;

         -        the incurrence of additional debt; and

         -        the recognition of significant charges for depreciation and
                  amortization related to goodwill and other intangible assets.

We continuously evaluate potential acquisitions of related businesses. However,
we have not reached any agreement or arrangement with respect to any particular
acquisition and we may not be able to complete any acquisitions on favorable
terms or at all.

THE INABILITY TO USE OUR TAX NET OPERATING LOSSES COULD RESULT IN A CHARGE TO
EARNINGS AND COULD REQUIRE US TO PAY HIGHER TAXES.


         Both Emerson and SSG have substantial tax net operating losses
available to reduce taxable income for federal and state income tax purposes. A
portion of the benefit associated with the tax net operating losses has been
recognized as a deferred tax asset in our financial statements and could be used
to reduce our tax liability in future profitable periods. We believe these net
deferred tax assets will be realized through tax planning strategies available
in future periods and future profitable operating results. Although realization
is not assured at either Emerson or SSG, we believe it is more likely than not
that all of the remaining net deferred tax assets will be realized. The amount
of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced or
eliminated in the near term if certain tax planning strategies are not
successfully executed or estimates of future taxable income during the
carryforward period are reduced. In addition, transactions consummated by us or
the selling stockholder, including the offering of the shares hereby, that
together with other transactions consummated by Emerson, SSG or the selling
stockholder or that involve the common stock of Emerson or SSG that are deemed
collectively to result in a change of control of Emerson or SSG, respectively,
under the tax code could limit the use of our tax net operating losses. In the
event that either Emerson or


                                      -17-




SSG is unable to utilize its tax net operating losses in a reasonable time
frame, it would be required to adjust its deferred tax asset on its financial
statements which would result in a charge to earnings. Additionally, should the
utilization of tax net operating losses be limited, we would be required to pay
a greater amount of taxes in future periods.


MARKET RELATED RISKS

THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK HAS EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT PRICE AND
VOLUME FLUCTUATIONS FROM TIME TO TIME.

         The market price for our common stock and for securities of similar
companies have from time to time experienced significant price and volume
fluctuations that are unrelated to operating performance. Factors which may
affect our market price include:

         -        market conditions in the industries in which we operate;

         -        competition;

         -        sales or the possibility of sales of our common stock;

         -        our results of operations and financial condition; and

         -        general economic conditions.

Furthermore, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume
fluctuations unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies.
These market fluctuations may also adversely affect the market price of our
common stock.




FUTURE SALES OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY AFFECT OUR STOCK PRICE.


         The placement or sale of a substantial number of shares of our common
stock could cause a decrease in the market price of our common stock. We had
27,416,867 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of May 31, 2003.
Following the offering, approximately 21,730,742 shares will be freely tradeable
without restriction, including the shares offered under this prospectus, and the
remainder will be saleable with restriction under Rule 144. In addition, options
and warrants to purchase approximately 1,286,302 shares of our common stock were
outstanding as of May 31, 2003. As of May 31, 2003, 1,086,608 of those stock
options and warrants were vested and substantially all of the remaining options
and warrants will vest over the next year. We may also issue additional shares
in connection with our business and may grant additional stock options to our
employees, officers, directors and consultants under our stock option plans or
warrants to third parties. If a significant portion of such shares were sold in
the public market, the market value of our common stock could be adversely
affected.

                               SELLING STOCKHOLDER

BACKGROUND


         Geoffrey P. Jurick, the selling stockholder, has been our Chief
Executive Officer since July 1992, our Chairman since December 1993 and our
President since April 1997. In the mid 1990s, a number of parties who had
asserted various claims against the selling stockholder and certain of his
affiliates (the "Jurick Group") in a number of jurisdictions agreed to
consolidate their actions in the United States District Court for the District
of New Jersey. The consolidated claims included causes of action by the
claimants against the Jurick Group primarily based upon:



         -        the ownership of shares of our common stock issued by us
following our reorganization in 1994 to certain members of the Jurick Group; and



         -        loans provided to members of the Jurick Group.



In addition, we brought a claim against one of the claimants, Petra Stelling and
her spouse Donald Stelling, a former Chairman of the Board of Emerson, for
breach of an oral contract to provide the debtor in possession financing during
our 1993 bankruptcy proceedings pursuant to Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code and the funding of our plan of reorganization thereunder and breaches by
Donald Stelling of his fiduciary duties to Emerson.






         In June 1996, the Jurick Group and Emerson entered into a consolidated
global settlement with the claimants. The terms of the settlement were reflected
in a Stipulation of Settlement which, among other things, provided for the
payment by the Jurick Group to the claimants of an aggregate of approximately
$49.5 million from the proceeds of the sale in the manner set forth in the
stipulation of 29,152,542 shares of our common stock then held in the names of
members of the Jurick Group and the resolution of our claim against the
Stellings.


         None of these shares was ever sold as contemplated in the stipulation
and one of the claimants, Petra Stelling, moved for the termination of the
stipulation on the grounds that there was no reasonable prospect that the
purposes and objectives of the settlement could be achieved. After lengthy
hearings, the United States District Court, on March 3, 2000, granted the motion
and subsequently divided the 29,152,542 shares among the claimants and the
selling stockholder and the shares that were issued in the name of the selling
stockholder were placed in the possession of the United States District Court.


         In May 2002, the United States District Court finalized a new
settlement among two of the claimants and the selling stockholder which
involved:



         -        the purchase by us, at our election, of an aggregate of
11,100,009 shares of our common stock owned by these two claimants at an average
per share price of $1.04;


                                      -21-




         -        the release to the selling stockholder, free and clear of all
claims and encumbrances, of 5,686,125 shares of our common stock previously held
by the United States District Court; and



         -        the exchange of mutual releases.



Following the distribution of the 5,686,125 shares to the selling stockholder,
the remaining 4,188,975 shares of common stock registered in the name of the
selling stockholder continued to be held by the United States District Court.
The only remaining claimant, Petra Stelling, sold 8,177,533 of her settlement
shares to us in July 2000 at a price of $.50 per share.



         In March 2003, the United States District Court delivered a ruling
against the Jurick Group in the approximate amount of $16.5 million, including
approximately $2.6 million of pre-judgment interest. In addition, upon entering
a judgment related to such ruling by the Court, the remaining 4,188,975 shares
of our common stock registered in the name of the selling stockholder will be
released to the selling stockholder's counsel, to be held in trust by such
counsel pending payment of the judgment amount to Mrs. Stelling. Upon payment of
the judgment to Mrs. Stelling, the shares of common stock being held by the
selling stockholder's counsel will be released to the selling stockholder. The
United States District Court has not yet entered the judgment.



         The shares of common stock being sold by the selling stockholder in
this offering were shares of our common stock that were issued to the Jurick
Group in connection with our reorganization out of bankruptcy in 1994 and which
were held by the United States District Court under the terms of the proceedings
described above. Of these shares, 5,686,025 were released by the court to the
selling stockholder, free and clear of all claims and encumbrances, as a result
of the finalization of the settlement with two of the claimants in May 2002. In
March 2003, the selling stockholder delivered the shares to be sold in this
offering (including the shares to be sold upon exercise of the over-allotment
option) to the underwriter to be held in escrow until the closing of this
offering. Upon payment of the shares by the underwriter at the closing of this
offering, the shares of common stock currently being held in escrow by the
underwriter will be released to the underwriter and sold to the public under the
terms of this offering. See "Underwriting." At the time of receipt of these
shares by the selling stockholder in May 2002 from the United States District
Court, the selling stockholder did not have any agreement or understanding,
directly or indirectly, with any person to resell these shares of common stock.



         The net proceeds of this offering (based on the closing price of our
stock on the American Stock Exchange on the date of this prospectus), after
deducting the fees and expenses of the underwriter to be paid by the selling
stockholder, substantially exceeds the amount of the $16.5 million ruling by the
United States District Court and the expected costs and expenses payable by the
selling stockholder. See "Use of Proceeds."

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

         The net proceeds of the offering, after deducting the fees and expenses
of the underwriter to be paid by the selling stockholder, are expected to be
used by the selling stockholder as follows:


         -        approximately $16.5 million in satisfaction of the amounts
                  owed to Mrs. Stelling as described under "Selling
                  Stockholder;" and


         -        approximately up to $2.5 million for costs and expenses to be
                  paid by the selling stockholder in connection with the
                  litigation and this offering, including legal fees and
                  expenses incurred by us and the selling stockholder.

         The remaining net proceeds, if any, will be retained by the selling
stockholder. We will not receive any of the net proceeds from the sale of the
shares offered by the selling stockholder. The selling stockholder will pay all
of the fees and expenses incurred by the selling stockholder and us in
connection with this offering.

                                      -23-



                                  UNDERWRITING

         Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, the
underwriter has agreed to purchase from the selling stockholder, and the selling
stockholder has agreed to sell to the underwriter, an aggregate of 4,188,975
shares of our common stock.


         Under the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, the
underwriter is committed to accept and pay for all of such shares of our common
stock (other than the shares included in the over-allotment option) if any are
taken. The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the
underwriter are subject to a number of conditions which primarily relate to
various legal and regulatory matters with respect to our company, our business,
the offering and the shares, including receipt by the underwriter of officers'
certificates and legal opinions. In addition, the underwriter may not be
required to complete the purchase of the shares if, between the date the
underwriting agreement is signed and the closing, there is:



         -        a material adverse change with respect to our business or
                  financial condition;



         -        a disruption in the United States banking community or
                  securities markets; or



         -        war, an act of terrorism or other national or international
                  calamity which in the judgment of the underwriter, make it
                  inadvisable to proceed with the offering.



         If the underwriter sells more than the 4,188,975 shares of our common
stock being sold by the selling stockholder, the underwriter has an option to
buy up to an additional 628,346 shares of common stock from the selling
stockholder to cover those sales. They may exercise that option for 30 days.



         The underwriter proposes to offer the shares of common stock directly
to the public at the public offering price listed on the cover page of this
prospectus, and to some securities dealers at this price, less a concession not
in excess of $______ per share of common stock. The underwriter may allow, and
the selected dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of $______ per
share of common stock to some brokers and dealers. If all the shares are not
sold at the initial offering price, the offering price and other selling terms
may, from time to time, be changed by the underwriter.


         The following table summarizes the per share and total underwriting
discounts and commissions:

         -        the selling stockholder will pay to the underwriter assuming
                  no exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option; and

         -        the selling stockholder will pay to the underwriter assuming
                  the full exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option.

                                      -24-

Total...........................  $                                       $



         We estimate that the total expenses of the offering payable by the
selling stockholder, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, will be
approximately $225,000, including up to $50,000 payable by the selling
stockholder to the underwriter for counsel fees and other out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the underwriter in connection with this offering. The underwriter
has not received and will not receive any other item of compensation or expense
in connection with this offering considered by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. to be underwriting compensation under its rules of fair
practice.


         The offering of the shares of common stock is made for delivery when,
as and if accepted by the underwriter and subject to prior sale and to
withdrawal, cancellation or modification of the offering without notice. The
underwriter reserves the right to reject any order for the purchase of the
shares of common stock.


         The selling stockholder has agreed not to sell publicly or transfer any
shares of common stock for a period of 180 days after the date of this
prospectus without first obtaining the written consent of Ferris, Baker Watts,
Incorporated. Specifically, the selling stockholder has agreed not to directly
or indirectly:


         -        offer, pledge, sell or contract to sell any shares of his
                  common stock;

         -        sell an option or contract to purchase any shares of his
                  common stock;

         -        grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of any shares
                  of his common stock;

         -        lend or otherwise dispose of or transfer any shares of his
                  common stock; or

         -        enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in
                  whole or in part, the economic consequences of ownership of
                  any shares of his common stock whether any such swap or
                  transaction is to be settled by delivery of shares or other
                  securities, in cash or otherwise.


The restriction described above will not apply if the selling stockholder sells
or transfers shares of common stock to an affiliate in a private transaction in
which the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of such lock up.



         We and the selling stockholder have agreed to indemnify the underwriter
against specific liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act,
and to contribute to payments that the underwriter may be required to make with
respect to such indemnity.


                                      -25-



         In connection with the offering, the underwriter may engage in
transactions that are intended to stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the
price of the common stock during and after the offering, such as the following:

         -        the underwriter may over-allot or otherwise create a short
                  position in the shares of common stock for their own account
                  by selling more shares of common stock than have been sold to
                  them;

         -        the underwriter may elect to cover any short position by
                  purchasing shares of common stock in the open market;

         -        the underwriter may stabilize or maintain the price of the
                  common stock by bidding;

         -        the underwriter may engage in passive market making
                  transactions; and

         -        the underwriter may impose penalty bids under which selling
                  concessions allowed to other broker-dealers participating in
                  this offering are reclaimed if shares of common stock
                  previously distributed in the offering are repurchased in
                  connection with stabilization transactions or otherwise.

         The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the
market price at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open
market. The imposition of a penalty bid may also affect the price of the common
stock to the extent that it discourages resales. No representation is made as to
the magnitude or effect of any such stabilization or other transactions. Such
transactions may be effected on the American Stock Exchange or otherwise and, if
commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

         In connection with this offering, the underwriter may engage in passive
market making transactions in the common stock on the American Stock Exchange in
accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act during a period
before the commencement of offers or sales of the common stock and extending
through the completion of distribution. A passive market maker must display its
bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security.
However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker's
bid, that bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.

ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("GCL") provides
generally that a person sued as a director, officer, employee or agent of a
corporation may be indemnified by the corporation in nonderivative suits for
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation. In the case of criminal actions and proceedings, such person must
have had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Indemnification of expenses is authorized in stockholder derivative suits where
such person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and so long as he or she
had not been found liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his
or her duty to the corporation. Even in this latter instance, the court may
determine that in view of all the circumstances such person is entitled to
indemnification for such expenses as the court deems proper. A person sued as a
director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation who has been successful in
defense of the action must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses
(including attorney's fees).

         Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that we shall
indemnify any person to the full extent permitted by the GCL, as the same
exists, or as it may be amended. However, in the case of amendment, the
indemnification rights extend only to the extent that such

                                      II-1




amendment permits us to provide broader indemnification rights than the GCL
provided prior to such amendment. Approval from the board of directors to
initiate a suit against us is a prerequisite for indemnification of such person
initiating the suit. For our officers and directors, advancement of expenses
prior to a final disposition of a proceeding is permitted only if such officer
or director delivers to us a written affirmation of his or her good faith belief
that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification
under the GCL and a written affirmation, by or on behalf of such officer or
director, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately
that he or she is not entitled to indemnification. Any indemnification or
advance of expenses must be reported to our stockholders in writing. If we do
not pay a claim for indemnification within ninety days after receipt of a
written claim, a suit to recover the unpaid amount may be brought by the person
seeking indemnification. Such person, if successful in whole or in part in his
or her suit to compel indemnification, will be entitled to the reasonable
expenses of prosecuting such suit. We have the power and authority to purchase
and maintain insurance or another arrangement against any claim, damage, loss or
risk, regardless of whether we have such power to indemnify under our
Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and the GCL. All indemnification rights
conferred by our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws are not intended to
apply to any of our predecessor entities.


         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act may
be permitted to our directors, officers or controlling persons pursuant to our
Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws and the GCL, we have been informed that in
the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.


         In accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the GCL, our Certificate of
Incorporation eliminates the personal liability of directors to us or to our
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director
with certain limited exceptions set forth in Section 102(b)(7). Our directors
are personally liable for liabilities incurred for breach of director's duty of
loyalty, for actions or omissions not in good faith, under Section 174 of the
GCL or for any transaction in which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.


         Reference is made to the Underwriting Agreement (Exhibit 1.1) which
provides for indemnification of the underwriters by us and the selling
stockholder.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS

         The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                                      II-3



         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

         The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

         (1)      For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, the information omitted from the form of prospectus
filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and
contained in the form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule
424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part
of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

         (2)      For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                                   SIGNATURES


         Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the
Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all
of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Registration
Statement or amendment thereto to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized, in the Town of Parsippany, State of New Jersey on the
16th day of June, 2003.
