EX-99.1 [SPATIALIZER AUDIO LABORATORIES, INC. LOGO] CONTACT: INVESTOR RELATIONS Spatializer Audio Laboratories, Inc. 408-453-4180 ext 4 E-mail: investor@spatializer.com FOR RELEASE NOVEMBER 11, 2004: SPATIALIZER AUDIO LABORATORIES, INC. NARROWS THIRD QUARTER LOSS COMPARED TO PRIOR QUARTERS CASH POSITION IMPROVES WITH NEW LICENSE AGREEMENT Santa Clara, Calif., November 11, 2004- Spatializer Audio Laboratories, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SPAZ) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2004. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2004 were $205,000, compared to revenues of $341,000 in the comparable period last year, a decrease of 40%. Revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were $611,000, compared to revenues of $925,000 in the comparable period last year, a decrease of 34%. Net loss in the three months ended September 30, 2004 was ($81,000), ($0.00) basic per share, compared with net loss of ($107,000), ($0.00) basic per share in the comparable period last year. Net loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was ($328,000), ($0.01) basic per share, compared with net loss of ($393,000), ($0.01) basic per share in the comparable period last year. Revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2004 were lower due to a DVD OEM program with one manufacturer in 2003 for which there was no comparable program with this account in the current period. The decline in revenue over the nine month period resulted from the expiration of a licensing agreement with a major computer account in January 2003 ($125,000 reduction) and the inability to replace a prior year DVD OEM program in the current nine month period. This was partially offset by an increase in revenues from cell phone accounts. The net loss resulted from decreased revenues, partially offset by lower operating expenses due to operating cost efficiencies. At September 30, 2004, the Company had $920,000 in cash and cash equivalents as compared to $590,000 at December 31, 2003. The increase in cash and cash equivalents results from a royalty advance received in the third quarter, partially offset by the net loss. The Company had working capital of $458,000 at September 30, 2004 as compared with working capital of $792,000 at December 31, 2003. "We were able to narrow our loss in the third quarter, as compared with our prior quarters due to ongoing cost efficiencies", stated Henry R. Mandell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Spatializer Audio Laboratories. "We've been able to successfully outsource applications engineering to India that gives us greater non-critical engineering resources, scope and more rapid project completion at significantly reduced cost. However, our revenues continue to be negatively impacted by the effects of the intense pressure on consumer electronics manufacturers to reduce their costs. Revenue traction continues to be difficult as we continue our effort to transition to new sources of revenue for us in the PC and cellular handset markets." Mandell concluded, "Business remains very challenging and tenuous. Nevertheless, we continue to win new business in the recordable DVD, PC and cellular handset markets. These revenues are expected to be more meaningful as these programs ramp up over the next several months. Our cell phone solutions are being particularly well received. We also began recognizing a limited amount of revenue on the recently announced Samsung Electronics license which we will be realizing over the next several quarters. This license has also improved our cash position to levels comparable with one year ago. Lastly, our streamlined operating structure gives us the ability to maximize profit leverage on future licensing arrangements that we might conclude in the future.
