6 KOSS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES December 31, 2000 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, 2000 and for all periods presented have been made. The income from operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 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, 2000 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, 2000 and 1999 were 2,131,147 and 2,636,092, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, weighted average number of common shares outstanding were 2,183,597 and 2,661,442, respectively. When dilutive, stock options are included as share equivalents using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents of 118,468 and 57,639 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, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Common stock equivalents of 106,673 and 58,375 related to stock option grants were included in the computation of the average number of shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. 6 of 12

INVENTORIES The classification of inventories is as follows: December 31, 2000 June 30, 2000 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Raw materials and work in process $ 4,022,206 $ 4,355,016 Finished goods 6,350,178 6,135,131 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10,372,384 10,490,147 LIFO Reserve (1,076,111) (1,076,111) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ 9,296,273 $ 9,414,036 ================================================================================ 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, 2000 and June 30, 2000, $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 that after age 70, Mr. John C. Koss shall receive his current base salary for the remainder of his life. Mr. Koss has turned 70 and the Company is currently recognizing an annual expense of $150,000 in connection with this agreement. At December 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000, respectively, the related liabilities in the amounts of $1,102,850 and $1,045,310 have been included in deferred compensation and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. 7 of 12

8 KOSS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-Q December 31, 2000 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, 2000 amounted to $2,661,092. The decrease in working capital of $2,210,341 from the balance at June 30, 2000 represents primarily the net effect of a decrease in cash and inventories, and increases in accounts payable, accounts receivable and accrued liabilities. Capital expenditures for new property and equipment (including production tooling) were $480,758 for the six months. Budgeted capital expenditures for fiscal year 2001 are $1,123,100. The Company expects to generate sufficient funds through operations to fund these expenditures. Stockholders' investment decreased to $18,334,975 at December 31, 2000, from $20,493,633 at June 30, 2000. The decrease reflects the effect of net income, the purchase and retirement of common stock, and the exercise of stock options for the quarter. The Company amended its existing credit facility in December 1999, extending the maturity date of the unsecured line of credit to November 1, 2001. 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. There was no utilization of this credit facility at December 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000. 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 approved an increase of $3,000,000 in the Company's stock repurchase program, 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 additional $3,000,000 for the stock repurchase program, increasing the maximum amount of repurchases under the entire repurchase program to $28,000,000, calculated on a net purchase price basis. 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. All shares repurchased by the Company are retired and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares. 8 of 12

9 For the quarter ended December 31, 2000, the Company purchased 47,000 shares of its common stock in multiple transactions for a total purchase price of $1,059,788, representing an average price of $22.55 per share. From the commencement of the Company's stock repurchase program through December 31, 2000, the Company has purchased and retired a total of 2,069,498 shares for a total gross purchase price of $26,584,620 (representing an average gross purchase price of $12.85 per share) and a total net purchase price of $23,687,898 (representing an average net purchase price of $11.45 per share). The difference between the total gross purchase price and the total net purchase price reflects the lower cost to the Company of 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, 2000, the ESOP did not purchase any shares of the Company's stock. Results of Operations Net sales for the second quarter ended December 31, 2000 rose 20% to $10,268,218 from $8,582,606 for the same period in 1999. Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2000 were $19,982,157 up 18% compared with $16,975,859 during the same six months one year ago.

For the six month period ended December 31, 2000, such expenses were $4,288,607 or 21% of net sales, as against $3,757,610 or 22% of net sales, for the same period in 1999. For the second quarter ended December 31, 2000, income from operations was $1,839,322 versus $1,369,026 for the same period in the prior year.
