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, 2001 and
for all periods presented have been made. The income from operations
for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 is not necessarily indicative
of the operating results for the full year.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in

generally accepted in the United States of America 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, 2001, Annual Report
on Form 10-K.
2. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE AND STOCK SPLIT

number of common shares outstanding. The weighted average number of
common shares outstanding for the quarters ending December 31, 2001 and
2000 were 3,674,695 and 4,262,294, respectively. For the six months
ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, weighted average number of common
shares outstanding were 3,751,882 and 4,367,194, respectively. When
dilutive, stock options are included as share equivalents using the
treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents of 226,725 and 236,936
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, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Common
stock equivalents of 236,070 and 213,347 related to stock option grants

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, 2001 and June 30, 2001, $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. RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 141, "Business
Combinations" and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." The
statements eliminate the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for
business combinations and require that goodwill and certain intangible
assets not be amortized. Instead, these assets will be reviewed for
impairment annually with any related losses recognized in earnings when
incurred. The statements will be effective for the Company as of July
1, 2002 for existing goodwill and intangible assets and for business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. The Company is currently
analyzing the impact these statements will have; however, the impact is
not expected to be material on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.
7 of 20
In July 2001, the FASB also issued FAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations" and in August 2001, issued No. 144, "Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." FAS No. 143
establishes accounting standards for the recognition and measurement of
an asset retirement obligation. FAS No. 144 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived
assets, superseding FAS No. 121. The statements are effective for the
Company July 1, 2002. The Company is currently analyzing the impact
these statements will have; however, the impact is not expected to be
material on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In April 2001, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 00-25,
"Accounting for Consideration from a Vendor to a Retailer in Connection
with the Purchase or Promotion of the Vendor's Products." This issue
requires that consideration from a vendor to a retailer (a) in
connection with the retailer's purchase of the vendor's products or (b)
to promote sales of the vendor's products by the retailer be classified
as a reduction of net sales unless the consideration meets certain
criteria. EITF No. 00-25 is effective for the Company's fiscal quarters
beginning after December 15, 2001 and requires reclassification of
prior periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of
implementing EITF No. 00-25; however, the impact is not expected to be
material on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In November 2001, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF No. 01-9,
"Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a
Reseller of the Vendor's Products." This EITF codifies and reconciles
certain issues, including EITF No. 00-25. EITF No. 01-9 is effective
for fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of implementing EITF No. 01-9; however,
the impact is not expected to be material on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.
7. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On January 22, 2002, a customer of the Company, KMART, declared
bankruptcy. As a result, the Company has recorded a reserve for amounts
due from KMART of $750,000 at December 31, 2001. This amount is
included in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

KOSS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
FORM 10-Q - December 31, 2001
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Financial Condition and Liquidity
Cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended December 31,
2001 amounted to $2,495,499. This was primarily a result of net income for the
period offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily related
to decreases in accounts receivable, inventories, and income taxes receivable
offset by decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Capital expenditures for new property and equipment (including production
tooling) were $368,922 for the quarter. Budgeted capital expenditures for fiscal
year 2002 are $1,239,865. The Company expects to generate sufficient funds
through operations to fund these expenditures.
Stockholders' investment decreased to $11,641,609 at December 31, 2001, from
$14,939,429 at June 30, 2001. The decrease reflects the effect of the purchase
and retirement of common stock, the purchases of common stock for treasury, and
dividends, offset by net income and the exercise of stock options for the
quarter.
The Company amended its existing credit facility in October 2001, extending the
maturity date of the unsecured line of credit to November 1, 2002. 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. 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. The amount outstanding under this credit
facility at December 31, 2001 were $2,879,500. There was no utilization of this
credit facility at June 30, 2001.
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 an increase in the stock repurchase program from $2,000,000 to
$3,000,000. In July of 1997, the Board of Directors again approved an increase
in the stock repurchase program 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 increased the Company's stock repurchase
program by $3,000,000, thereby increasing the total amount of stock repurchases
from $7,000,000 to $10,000,000. In April of 1999, the Board of Directors again
approved an increase in the stock repurchase program 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 maximum of $20,000,000, and in
July of 2000 the Board increased the program by an additional $5,000,000, for a
maximum of $25,000,000. In January of 2001, the Board of Directors approved an
increase in the stock repurchase program from $25,000,000 to $28,000,000,
another increase in April of 2001 of an additional $3,000,000, and an additional
increase of $3,000,000 in July of 2001, for a maximum of $34,000,000. 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.
9 of 20
For the quarter ended December 31, 2001, the Company purchased 31,000 shares of
its common stock at $14.80 per share.
From the commencement of the Company's stock repurchase program through December
31, 2001, the Company has purchased a total of 4,814,180 shares for a total
gross purchase price of $37,855,045 (representing an average gross purchase
price of $7.86 per share) and a total net purchase price of $33,987,852
(representing an average net purchase price of $7.05 per share). The difference
between the total gross purchase price and the total net purchase price is the
result of the Company purchasing from certain employees shares of the Company's
stock acquired by such employees pursuant to the Company's stock option program.
In determining the dollar amount available for additional 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, 2001, the
ESOP purchased 5,000 shares of the Company's stock for $74,000 (representing a
purchase price of $14.80 per share).
Results of Operations
Net sales for the second quarter ended December 31, 2001 fell 6% to $9,751,397
from $10,348,476 for the same period in 2000. Net sales for the six months ended
December 31, 2001 were $18,702,808 down 8% compared with $20,228,114 during the
same six months one year ago. This decline was due to soft retail business.
Gross profit as a percent of net sales remained generally consistent at 40% for
the quarter ended December 31, 2001 compared to 39% for the same period in the
prior year. For the six month period ended December 31, 2001, the gross profit
percentage was 39% compared to 40% for the same period in 2000.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended December 31,
2001 were $2,237,934 or 23% of net sales, compared to $2,238,820 or 22% of net
sales for the same period in 2000. For the six month period ended December 31,
2001, these expenses were $4,163,898 or 22% of net sales, compared to $4,288,607
or 21% of net sales, for the same period in 2000. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2001
were impacted by additional reserves for bad debts recorded at December 31, 2001
of $500,000 for outstanding KMART receivables.
For the second quarter ended December 31, 2001, income from operations was
$1,661,913 versus $1,839,322 for the same period in the prior year. Income from
operations for the six months ended December 31, 2001 was $3,187,840 as compared
to $3,741,782 for the same period in 2000.
Interest expense amounted to $49,254 for the quarter as compared to $3,381 for
the same period in the prior year. For the six month period, the interest
expense amounted to $60,218 compared with $11,197 the same period in the prior
year. The increase in interest expense is due to the Company's increased level
of borrowings on their unsecured line of credit.

Effective July 1, 1998, the Company entered into a License Agreement and an
Addendum thereto with Logitech Electronics Inc. ("Logitech") of Ontario, Canada
whereby the Company licensed to Logitech the right to sell multimedia/computer
speakers under the Koss brand name. This License Agreement covers North America
and certain countries in South America and Europe, requiring royalty payments by
Logitech through June 30, 2008, subject to certain minimum annual royalty
amounts.
The Company has a License Agreement with Jiangsu Electronics Industries Limited
("Jiangsu"), a subsidiary of Orient Power Holdings Limited, by way of an
assignment of a previously existing License Agreement with Trabelco N.V. Orient
Power is based in Hong Kong and has an extensive portfolio of audio and video
products. This License Agreement covers the United States, Canada, and Mexico,
and has been renewed through December 31, 2002. Pursuant to this License
Agreement, Jiangsu has agreed to meet certain minimum royalty amounts each year.
The products covered by this License Agreement include various consumer
electronics products.
Royalty income from the licensing agreements with Jiangsu and Logitech was
dramatically affected by the depressed market conditions resulting in a
reduction in royalty income of 30% from $379,804 for the quarter ended December
31, 2000 to $265,833 for the quarter ended December 2001. For the six months
ended December 31, 2001, royalty income fell 36% from $673,692 to $433,547 for
the same period in the prior year. Effective January 1, 2002 the Jiangsu License
Agreement was amended to include DVD players, which will help to increase the
Company's future royalty income stream.
On October 2, 2001, the Company declared a 2 for 1 stock split of the Company's
common stock for stockholders of record on October 22, 2001 with the effective
date being November 5, 2001. All earnings per common share amounts herein have
been restated to give effect to the common stock split.
On October 29, 2001, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per
share (reflecting the effect of the 2 for 1 stock split) payable on January 15,
2002 to stockholders of record on December 31, 2001, which is recorded as
dividends payable.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement

142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." The statements eliminate the
pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations and require
that goodwill and certain intangible assets not be amortized. Instead, these

Company as of July 1, 2002 for existing goodwill and intangible assets and for
business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. The Company is currently
analyzing the impact these statements will have; however, the impact is not
expected to be material on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
11 of 20
In July 2001, the FASB also issued FAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations" and in August 2001, issued No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." FAS No. 143 establishes accounting standards
for the recognition and measurement of an asset retirement obligation. FAS No.

In April 2001, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 00-25, "Accounting
for Consideration from a Vendor to a Retailer in Connection with the Purchase or
Promotion of the Vendor's Products." This issue requires that consideration from

quarters beginning after December 15, 2001 and requires reclassification of
prior periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of implementing
EITF No. 00-25; however, the impact is not expected to be material on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.
In November 2001, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF No. 01-9, "Accounting for
Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor's
Products." This EITF codifies and reconciles certain issues, including EITF No.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of that
term in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995(the "Act") (Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934). Additional written or oral forward-looking statements may be made by
the Company from time to time in filings with the Securities Exchange
Commission, press releases, or otherwise. Statements contained in this Form 10-Q
that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements made pursuant to
the safe harbor provisions of the Act. Forward-looking statements may include,
but are not limited to, projections of revenue, income or loss and capital
expenditures, statements regarding future operations, anticipated financing
needs, compliance with financial covenants in loan agreements, plans for
acquisitions or sales of assets or businesses, plans relating to products or
services of the Company, assessments of materiality, predictions of future
events, the effects of pending and possible litigation, and assumptions relating
to the foregoing. In addition, when used in this Form 10-Q, the words
"anticipates," "believes," or "estimates," "expects," "intends," "plans" and
variations thereof and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties,
some of which cannot be predicted or quantified based on current expectations.
Consequently, future events and actual results could differ materially from
those set forth in, contemplated by, or underlying the forward-looking
statements contained in this Form 10-Q, or in other Company filings, press
releases, or otherwise. In addition to the factors discussed in this Form 10-Q,
other factors that could contribute to or cause such differences include, but
are not limited to, developments in any
12 of 20
one or more of the following areas: future fluctuations in economic conditions,
the receptivity of consumers to new consumer electronics technologies, the rate
and consumer acceptance of new product introductions, competition, pricing, the
number and nature of customers and their product orders, production by third
party vendors, foreign manufacturing, sourcing and sales (including foreign
government regulation, trade and importation concerns), borrowing costs, changes
in tax rates, pending or threatened litigation and investigations, and other
risk factors which may be detailed from time to time in the Company's Securities
and Exchange Commission filings.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking
statements contained herein, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company
undertakes no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to
these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or
circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unexpected
events.
