NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements presented herein are based on interim amounts
and are subject to audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present
fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at
December 31, 1999 and for all periods presented have been made. The
income from operations for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 is not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested
that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Registrant's June 30, 1999, Annual Report on Form 10-K.
2. EARNINGS PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE
Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding. The weighted average
number of common shares outstanding for the quarters ending December
31, 1999 and 1998 were 2,636,092 and 3,179,457, respectively. For the
six months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, weighted average number of
common shares outstanding were 2,661,442 and 3,178,355, respectively.
When dilutive, stock options are included as share equivalents using
the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents of 57,639 and
34,525 related to stock option grants were included in the computation
of the average number of shares outstanding for diluted earnings per
share for the quarters ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Common stock equivalents of 58,375 and 36,546 related to stock option

4. STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
The Company has an agreement with its Chairman to repurchase stock from
his estate in the event of his death. The repurchase price is 95% of
the fair market value of the common stock on the date that notice to
repurchase is provided to the Company. The total number of shares to be
repurchased shall be sufficient to provide proceeds which are the
lesser of $2,500,000 or the amount of estate taxes and administrative
expenses incurred by his estate. The Company is obligated to pay in
cash 25% of the total amount due and to execute a promissory note at
the prime rate of interest for the balance. The Company maintains a
$1,150,000 life insurance policy to fund a substantial portion of this
obligation. At December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999, $1,490,000 has been
classified as a Contingently Redeemable Equity Interest reflecting the
estimated obligation in the event of execution of the agreement.
5. DEFERRED COMPENSATION
In 1991, the Board of Directors agreed to continue John C. Koss'
current base salary in the event he becomes disabled prior to age 70.
After age 70, Mr. Koss shall receive his current base salary for the
remainder of his life, whether or not he becomes disabled. The Company
is currently recognizing an annual expense of $115,080 in connection
with this agreement, which represents the present value of the
anticipated future payments. At December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999,
respectively, the related liabilities in the amounts of $939,000 and
$881,460 have been included in deferred compensation and other
liabilities on the accompanying balance sheets.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Financial Condition and Liquidity
Cash generated by operating activities during the six months ended December 31,
1999 amounted to $2,674,156. Working capital was $21,155,475 at December 31,
1999, an increase of $170,316 from the balance at June 30, 1999. The cash
necessary to fund the Company's operating activities fluctuates from time to
time; however, as a general rule, the Company expects to generate adequate
amounts of cash to meet future operating needs. The Company maintains sufficient
borrowing capacity to fund any shortfall.
Capital expenditures for new property and equipment (including production
tooling) were $226,603 for the six months. Budgeted capital expenditures for
fiscal year 2000 are $832,100. The Company expects to generate sufficient
operating funds to fulfill these expenditures.
Stockholders' investment decreased to $21,083,305 at December 31, 1999, from
$21,180,935 at June 30, 1999. The decrease reflects the effect of net income,
the purchase and retirement of common stock, and the exercise of stock options
for the six months.
The Company amended its existing credit facility in April 1999, extending the
maturity date of the unsecured line of credit to November 1, 2000. This credit
facility provides for borrowings up to a maximum of $10,000,000. The Company can
use this credit facility for working capital purposes or for the purchase of its
own stock pursuant to the Company's stock repurchase program. This credit
facility was increased from $8,000,000 to $10,000,000 as a result of combining
the Company's $8,000,000 working capital credit facility with the Company's
$2,000,000 stock repurchase credit facility. Borrowings under this credit
facility bear interest at the bank's prime rate, or LIBOR plus 1.75%. This
credit facility includes certain financial covenants that require the Company to
maintain a minimum tangible net worth and specified current, interest coverage,
and leverage ratios. There was no utilization of this credit facility at
December 31, 1999.
In April of 1995, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program
authorizing the Company to purchase from time to time up to $2,000,000 of its
common stock for its own account. In January of 1996, the Board of Directors
approved a $1,000,000 increase in the stock repurchase program, increasing the
total amount from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000. In July of 1997, the Board of
Directors approved a $2,000,000 increase in the stock repurchase program,
increasing the total amount from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000. In January of 1998,
the Board of Directors approved an increase of an additional $2,000,000,
increasing the total stock repurchase program from $5,000,000 to $7,000,000. In
August of 1998, the Board of Directors approved an increase of $3,000,000 in the
Company's stock repurchase program, increasing the program from $7,000,000 to
$10,000,000. In April of 1999, the Board of Directors increased the stock
repurchase program by $5,000,000 from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000. In October of
1999, the Board of Directors increased the stock repurchase program by another
$5,000,000, up to a
8 of 12
9
maximum of $20,000,000. The Company intends to effectuate all stock purchases
either on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, and
intends to finance all stock purchases through its own cash flow or by borrowing
for such purchases. For the quarter ended December 31, 1999, the Company
purchased 116,250 shares of its common stock at an average gross price of $14.78
per share (and an average net price of $13.95 per share), and retired all such
shares.
From the commencement of the Company's stock repurchase program through December
31, 1999, the Company has purchased and retired a total of 1,564,498 shares for
a total gross purchase price of $17,699,876 (representing an average gross
purchase price of $11.31 per share) and a total net purchase price of
$14,560,154 (representing an average net purchase price of $9.31 per share). The
difference between the total gross purchase price and the total net purchase
price reflects the lower cost to the Company from purchasing stock from certain
employees who have exercised stock options pursuant to the Company's stock
option program. In determining the total dollar amount available for purchases
under the stock repurchase program, the Company uses the total net purchase
price paid by the Company for all stock purchases, as authorized by the Board of
Directors.
The Company also has an Employee Stock Ownership and Trust ("ESOP") pursuant to
which shares of the Company's stock are purchased by the ESOP for allocation to
the accounts of ESOP participants. For the quarter ended December 31, 1999, the
ESOP did not purchase any shares of the Company's stock.
Results of Operations
Net sales for the second quarter ended December 31, 1999 rose 2% to $8,582,606
from $8,386,879 for the same period in 1998. Net sales for the six months ended
December 31, 1999 were $16,975,859 down 3% compared with $17,417,922 during the
same six months one year ago.
Gross profit as a percent of net sales was 38% for the quarter ended December
31, 1999 compared with 40% for the same period in the prior year. For the six
month period ended December 31, 1999, the gross profit percentage was 40%
compared with 42% for the same period in 1998. Shifts in product mix resulted in
the decrease in gross profit for the six month period as compared to last year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended December 31,
1999 were $1,927,023 or 22% of net sales, as against $2,049,987 or 24% of net
sales for the same period in 1998. For the six month period ended December 31,
1999, such expenses were $3,757,610 or 22% of net sales, as against $4,106,754
or 24% of net sales, for the same period in 1998.
For the second quarter ended December 31, 1999, income from operations was
$1,369,026 versus $1,284,618 for the same period in the prior year. Income from
operations for the six months ended December 31, 1999 was $3,018,415 as compared
to $3,200,790 for the same period in 1998. The decrease is primarily related to
the decrease in gross margin.
Interest expense amounted to $0 for the quarter as compared to $5,667 for the
same period in the prior year. For the six month period, the interest expense
amounted to $0 compared with $56,617 for the same period in the prior year. The
decrease is a result of no borrowing activity this year as compared to the same
period last year.
