See accompanying notes 5 of 11 6 KOSS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES September 30, 1996 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements presented herein are based on interim figures 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 September 30, 1996, and for all periods presented have been made. 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, 1996, Annual Report on Form 10-K. The income from operations for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 is not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. 2. EARNINGS PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE Earnings per share are computed based on the average number of common and common share equivalents outstanding. When dilutive, stock options are included as share equivalents using the Treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents of 45,919 and 68,070 related to stock option grants were included in the computation of the average number of shares outstanding in 1996 and 1995 respectively. 3. INVENTORIES The classification of inventories is as follows:
September 30, 1996 June 30, 1996 - ----------------------------------------------------- Raw materials and work in process $7,189,409 $4,751,156 Finished goods 4,900,010 4,663,842 - ----------------------------------------------------- 12,089,419 9,414,998 LIFO Reserve (637,782) (637,782) - ----------------------------------------------------- $11,451,637 $8,777,216 =====================================================
6 of 11 7 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 a 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 September 30, 1996 and June 30, 1996, $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 September 30, 1996 and June 30, 1996, respectively, the related liabilities in the amounts of $564,990 and $536,220 have been included in deferred compensation on the accompanying balance sheets. 7 of 11 8 KOSS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-Q September 30, 1996 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Financial Condition and Liquidity Cash used by operating activities during the three months ended September 30, 1996 amounted to $2,217,447. Working capital was $19,893,218 at September 30, 1996. The increase of $3,699,828 from the balance at June 30, 1996 consists primarily of an increase in inventory. This increase is the result of anticipated higher sales volume in the upcoming Christmas season. 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 $277,673 for the quarter. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1997, the Company expects its capital expenditures to be approximately $1,500,000. The Company expects to generate sufficient operating funds to fulfill these expenditures. Stockholders' investment increased to $17,126,707 at September 30, 1996, from $16,546,790 at June 30, 1996. The increase reflects primarily the income for the quarter. No cash dividends have been paid since the first quarter of fiscal 1984. The Company has an unsecured working capital credit facility with a bank which runs through March 15, 1998. This credit facility provides for borrowings up to a maximum of $8,000,000. Borrowings under this credit facility bear interest at the bank's prime rate, or LIBOR plus 2.25%. This credit facility includes certain covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum tangible net worth and specified current, interest coverage, and leverage ratios. Utilization of this credit facility as of September 30, 1996 totaled $3,827,938, consisting of $3,620,000 in borrowings and $207,938 in commitments for foreign letters of credit. Utilization of this credit facility as of June 30, 1996 was $944,784, consisting of $470,000 in borrowings of $474,784 in foreign letters of credit. The increase as of September 30, 1996 is the result of an increase in inventory due to anticipated higher sales volume for the upcoming Christmas season. The Company also has a $2,000,000 credit facility which can be used by the Company in the event the Company desires to purchase shares of its own stock. This credit facility runs through March 15, 1997. The Company can also use up to $1,000,000 of its working capital credit facility to purchase shares of its own stock. The Company's Canadian subsidiary has a line of credit of $550,000, which is guaranteed by the Company. Borrowings under this credit facility bear interest at the bank's prime rate plus 1.5%. This credit facility is subject to the availability of qualifying receivables and inventories which serve as security for the borrowings. As of September 30, 1996, there were no borrowings outstanding against this line of credit. The due date for the line is October 31, 1997. 8 of 11 9 In April, 1995 the Board of Directors authorized the Company's purchase from time to time of its common stock for its own account utilizing the aforementioned $2,000,000 credit facility. In January of 1996, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the total amount of potential stock purchases for the Company's own account from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000. 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 September 30, 1996, the Company purchased 17,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $6.975 per share, and retired all such shares. The Company also purchased 9,678 shares of its common stock for allocation to the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, at a price of $6.975 per share. Results of Operations Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 were $9,862,803 compared with $9,588,544 for the same period in 1995, an increase of $274,259. Strong orders primarily in August and September resulted in the increase for the quarter. Gross profit as a percent of net sales was 33% for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 compared with 33% in the prior year. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,096,669 or 21% as against $2,140,745 or 22% in 1995. For the quarter ended September 30, 1996, income from operations was $1,191,009 versus $1,003,876 in 1995. The $187,133 increase is primarily related to the increased sales volume. Net interest expense amounted to $42,279 for the quarter as compared to $27,168 for the same period in the prior year. This increase is a result of increased borrowing for the quarter as compared to the same period last year. The Company has a license agreement with Trabelco N.V., a subsidiary of Hagemeyer, N.V., a diverse international trading company based in the Netherlands, which has business interests in food, appliances, electromechanical and automobile distribution as well as a solid base of consumer electronic distribution business in Asia, Europe and North America. Royalty income earned in connection with this license agreement for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 was $268,485 as compared to $388,992 for the same period in 1995. This decrease in royalty income is a result of Trabelco N.V. experiencing lower sales volumes on products under the license agreement. The license agreement expires December 31, 1997; however, it can be renewed for additional three year periods at the option of Trabelco N.V. On September 29, 1995, the Company entered into a second License Agreement with Trabelco N.V. covering most European countries. At this time, no sales have been reported under this License Agreement. 9 of 11 10 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 4 Submission of Matters to Vote of Security-Holders (a) On October 24, 1996 an Annual Meeting of Stockholders was held.
