	The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of DTS, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position at September 30, 2014, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20, 2014.
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
	On August 14, 2014, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Manzanita Systems, Inc. This asset purchase was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price, which the Company considers to be immaterial to the consolidated financial statements, was based on estimates and valuations. The final allocation of the purchase price is expected to be completed as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the date of acquisition.

	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-11, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists". This ASU provides guidance regarding when an unrecognized tax benefit should be classified as a reduction to a deferred tax asset or when it should be classified as a liability. This ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company fully adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2014. As of September 30, 2014, the Company has presented $4,958 of unrecognized tax benefits as a reduction to deferred tax assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)". This ASU outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. For public entities, this ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. Entities have the option of applying either a full retrospective approach or a modified approach to adopt the ASU. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements	'
	Note 4—Fair Value Measurements
	The Company's investments are required to be measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company's contingent consideration related to its acquisition of assets from Phorus, Inc. and Phorus, LLC (collectively "Phorus") is also measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis until it can be determined whether or not any future payments will be made. Increases or decreases in the fair value of contingent consideration can result from accretion of the liability due to the passage of time, changes in the timing and amount of revenue estimates, changes in discount rates, or payments.
	The Company obtained the fair value of its available-for-sale securities, which are not in active markets, from a third-party professional pricing service using quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments, rather than direct observations of quoted prices in active markets. The Company's professional pricing service gathers observable inputs for all of its fixed income securities from a variety of industry data providers (e.g., large custodial institutions) and other third-party sources. Once the observable inputs are gathered, all data points are considered and the fair value is determined. The Company validates the quoted market prices provided by its primary pricing service by comparing their assessment of the fair values against the fair values provided by its investment managers. The Company's investment managers use similar techniques to its professional pricing service to derive pricing as described above. As all significant inputs were observable, derived from observable information in the marketplace or supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace, the Company has classified its available-for-sale securities within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
	The Company classifies the fair value of the contingent consideration liability within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as the fair value is based upon unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity. As of September 30, 2014, the Company measured the fair value of contingent consideration using an income approach, based on an analysis of projected cash flows using a discount rate of 15%. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration to be $1,300 as of September 30, 2014, and accordingly recognized $200 and $300 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, within operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Considerable judgment is required in the assumptions used in fair value measurements. Accordingly, use of different assumptions, such as significant increases or decreases in estimated revenues, cash flows or the discount rate, could result in materially different fair value estimates. For additional information, refer to Note 7 "Commitments and Contingencies".
	The Company's financial assets and liabilities, measured at fair value on a recurring basis, were as follows:

	The Company capitalizes amounts due or paid under certain contractual rights arrangements and amortizes the amounts over their expected useful lives, which is generally five years. The associated amortization expense has been included in cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2013, these assets amounted to $3,330, net of accumulated amortization of $620. Of this net amount, $662 was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $2,668 was included in other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013. As of September 30, 2014, the Company reclassified the balances of these assets to intangible assets. Future amounts due or paid under these arrangements will be capitalized as intangible assets and reflected as investing activities in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows.

	Note 6—Long-term Debt
	On September 29, 2014, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), together with the other lenders thereunder from time to time (collectively, the "Lenders"). The Credit Agreement provides the Company with (i) a $25,000 secured revolving line of credit (the "Revolver"), with a $1,000 sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit, and (ii) a $25,000 secured term loan (the "Term Loan"). In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company borrowed $25,000 under the Term Loan and $5,000 under the Revolver, and repaid the $30,000 line of credit under the previously existing loan agreement with MUFG Union Bank, N.A. (formerly known as Union Bank, N.A.). The Revolver and Term Loan will be used to finance permitted acquisitions and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
	Amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement will bear interest, at the option of the Company, at either (i) LIBOR plus 1.0% or (ii) the higher of (a) the rate of interest most recently announced by Wells Fargo as its prime rate or (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to pay an annual commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolver of either (i) 0.20%, if an average minimum deposit equal to or greater than $10,000 is held in a Wells Fargo bank account, or (ii) 0.30% otherwise.
	The Company's ability to borrow amounts under the Credit Agreement is conditioned upon its compliance with specified covenants, including certain financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a (i) minimum rolling four quarter adjusted EBITDA of $30,000 for each fiscal quarter ending prior to December 31, 2014, and $32,000 for each fiscal quarter ending after December 31, 2014; and (ii) minimum liquidity amount of $35,000. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the Company's ability to dispose of property, enter into mergers, acquisitions or other business combination transactions, incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, pay dividends and make certain other restricted payments.
	The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default. All advances under the Revolver will become due and payable on September 29, 2017, or earlier in the event of a default. $5,000 of the principal amount of the Term Loan will become due and payable on October 1, 2015, and $1,250 of the principal amount of the Term Loan will be due and payable in quarterly installments thereafter, with the remaining balance due and payable on September 29, 2017. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the Lenders may declare all outstanding amounts under the Revolver and the Term Loan immediately due and payable and may terminate commitments to make any additional advances thereunder.
	In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company and certain of its US subsidiaries entered into a security agreement with Wells Fargo as agent for the Lenders pursuant to which the Company and certain of its US subsidiaries granted the Lenders a first priority perfected security interest in (i) all their respective current and later acquired tangible and intangible assets and certain current and future domestic subsidiaries and (ii) up to 65% of the stock of certain current and future foreign subsidiaries to secure amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement.

Commitments and Contingencies	'
	Note 7—Commitments and Contingencies
	In the normal course of business, the Company makes certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which the Company may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities, commitments and guarantees include, among others, intellectual property indemnities to customers in connection with the sale of products and licensing of technologies, indemnities for liabilities associated with the infringement of other parties' technology based upon the Company's products and technologies, guarantees of timely performance of the Company's obligations, and indemnities to the Company's directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by law. The duration of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite. The majority of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments that the Company could be obligated to make. The Company has not recorded a liability for these indemnities, commitments or guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as future payment is currently not probable.
	Under certain existing contractual rights arrangements, the Company may be obligated to pay up to approximately $7,500 over an estimated period of three years if certain milestones are achieved.
	In connection with the acquisition of Phorus, contingent consideration of up to $500 could be due and payable at the end of 2014, and up to $1,000 could be due and payable at the end of 2015.

	Note 8—Income Taxes
	For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company's effective tax rate was approximately 8% and (26)%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three month period differed from the US statutory rate of 35% primarily due to a tax benefit of $366 associated with an increase in the amount of foreign tax credit available to offset the tax associated with a special one-time transfer of certain Japan and Taiwan intellectual property licensing rights transacted on January 1, 2014. The effective tax rate for the nine month period differed from the US statutory rate primarily due to a net tax benefit of $3,876 associated with the transfer of intellectual property licensing rights and a tax benefit of $3,326 associated with the settlement of a federal tax audit.
	As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company's uncertain tax positions were $10,306 and $9,701, respectively, of which $5,348 and $1,713, respectively, were recorded in other long-term liabilities. The remaining amounts were recorded as a reduction to long-term deferred tax assets, pursuant to ASU 2013-11. The increase in uncertain tax positions was primarily related to the Company's transfer pricing with one of its foreign subsidiaries, the state research and development tax credit, and the California income apportionment methodology. The settlement of the 2009 to 2011 US federal income tax audit with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in July 2014 had no material impact on the Company's unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does not expect, or cannot quantify with any practicable certainty, any material increase or decrease to its unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. To the extent that any of the Company's uncertain tax positions are not able to be resolved in a favorable manner, it may have a negative impact on the effective tax rate. Additionally, any settlement may impact the Company's effective tax rate. The Company believes its accruals for uncertain tax positions are adequate for all open years, based on the assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter. Inherent uncertainties exist in estimating accruals for uncertain tax positions due to the progress of income tax audits and changes in tax law, both legislated and concluded through the various jurisdictions' tax court systems.
	The Company may, from time to time, be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to the Company's financial statements. Interest expense and penalties related to income taxes are included in income tax expense.
	The Company, or one of its subsidiaries, files income tax returns in the US and other foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to US federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2012. The California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) is conducting a state tax examination for the years 2009 and 2010, including certain prior period carryforwards from 2006 to 2008. Significant judgment is required in determining the consolidated provision (benefit) for income taxes as the Company considers its worldwide taxable earnings and the impact of the audit process conducted by various tax authorities. The final outcome of tax audits by any foreign jurisdictions, the IRS, the FTB, and various state governments could differ materially from that which is reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
	Licensing revenue is recognized gross of withholding taxes that are remitted by the Company's licensees directly to their local tax authorities. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, withholding taxes were $405 and $1,630, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, withholding taxes were $2,500 and $4,020, respectively. Withholding taxes were lower in 2014 compared to 2013 due to the transfer of Japan intellectual property licensing rights from Ireland to the US transacted in 2014.

Stock-Based Compensation	'
	Note 9—Stock-Based Compensation
	On March 13, 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors granted 134 performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs) to certain employees under the DTS, Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. The PSUs will vest in two equal installments upon achievement of certain internal performance goals, with one-half vesting on February 15, 2016 and the remaining vesting on February 15, 2017, in each case assuming the specified performance goals are achieved and the service conditions are met. The performance goals will be measured as of December 31, 2015. Each PSU represents the contingent right to receive between zero and two shares of the Company's common stock upon vesting, subject to the level of achievement of the specified performance goals. Any portion of the PSUs that do not vest due to performance below the minimum required level for vesting will be forfeited.
	The PSUs had a grant-date fair value of $20.37. The related compensation expense is calculated using the number of shares of common stock expected to vest based on the probability and estimated level of achievement of the performance goals. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period, and will be adjusted in subsequent reporting periods if the assessed probability or estimated level of achievement of the performance goals changes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, compensation expense for PSUs was $210 and $639, respectively. Considerable judgment is required in assessing the probability and estimated level of achievement of the performance goals. Accordingly, use of different assumptions or estimates could result in materially different compensation expense.
	On August 14, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors adopted the DTS, Inc. 2014 New Employee Incentive Plan (the "2014 Incentive Plan") without stockholder approval pursuant to Rule 5635(c)(4) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules, and reserved 50 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to the grant of stock-based awards under this plan. As of September 30, 2014, no shares have been granted under the 2014 Incentive Plan.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share	'
	Note 10—Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
	Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of any unvested restricted stock, outstanding stock options, any unvested PSUs for which the performance conditions have been satisfied at the reporting date, and the Company's employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) using the treasury stock method. Due to the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, all potential common shares were excluded from the diluted shares outstanding for this period.
