ITEM 1. CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT.
See Item 2 below.
ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
EV International, Inc. ("EVI" or the "Company") entered into an
Exchange Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 30,
1998 (the "Exchange Agreement"), among Greenwich I LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company ("G-I"), Greenwich II LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company ("G-II"), EVI Audio Holdings,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("EVI Holdings"), Telex
Communications Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("TCG"), and
Telex Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Telex").
All of the parties to the Exchange Agreement are affiliates of
Greenwich Street Capital Partners, L.P. ("GSCP"). Pursuant to
the Exchange Agreement (i) G-I contributed and exchanged 85,000
shares of EVI Holdings' common stock, par value $.001 per share
and 13,000 shares of EVI Holdings' Class A Pay-In-Kind Preferred
Stock, par value $.01 per share, for 1,397,400 shares of TCG
common stock, par value $.0005 per share (the "Common Stock")
and 13,000 shares of TCG Series A Pay-In-Kind Preferred Stock,
par value $.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock"), respectively,
(ii) EVI Holdings was merged with and into TCG (the "Merger"),
with TCG as the surviving corporation, (iii) effective as of
February 2, 1998, Telex was merged with and into the Company
(the "Subsequent Merger") with the Company as the surviving
corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TCG, and (iv) the
Company changed its name to "Telex Communications, Inc.", in
each case on the terms and conditions described in the Exchange
Agreement. The Company accounted for the Subsequent Merger as a
combination of entities under common control. Therefore, the
Company's financial statements reflect the results of EVI and
Telex for all periods presented.
In connection with the Subsequent Merger, approximately $12.7
million outstanding under EVI's Senior Credit Facility was paid
in full and EVI's Senior Credit Facility was terminated. Such
indebtedness and other amounts outstanding were repaid with
existing cash at closing from the Company of approximately $3.8
million and replaced with borrowings under the Company's
revolving credit facility (formerly Telex's Senior Credit
Facility) of approximately $8.9 million.

(a) The financial statements for EVI, included in these Pro Forma Condensed
Financial Statements, contain certain reclassifications necessary to be

statements. These reclassifications had no effect on net income (loss)
or shareholder's equity, as previously reported.
(b) Reflects annual management fee charged to EVI by GSCP of $750.
(c) Reflects additional amortization of intangibles incurred by EVI as a
result of the allocation of the excess of the purchase price over
identified tangible and intangible net assets acquired, which is being
amortized over 40 years.
(d) Reflects incremental interest expense associated with the EVI Term Loan
Facility and Notes and related fees and amortization of deferred

recapitalization expense of $6,710, and the non-cash compensation
charge of $7,410 associated with the change in terms of rolled over
options. Such amounts have been recorded in the historical statement of
operations for the nine months ended December 31, 1997, and as a
result, are eliminated in the pro forma adjustments for that period.
