KOSS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES December 31, 2002 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements presented herein are based on interim amounts. 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, 2002 and for all periods presented have been made. The income from operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2002 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 accounting principles 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, 2002, Annual Report on Form 10-K. 2. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE AND STOCK SPLIT 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, 2002 and 2001 were 3,655,242 and 3,674,695, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, weighted average number of common shares outstanding were 3,662,898 and 3,751,882, respectively. When dilutive, stock options are included as share equivalents using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents of 191,603 and 226,725 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, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Common stock equivalents of 187,599 and 236,070 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, 2002 and 2001, respectively. 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. Earnings per common share amounts disclosed have been restated to give effect to the common stock split. 3. INVENTORIES The classification of inventories is as follows:
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, 2002 and June 30, 2002, $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. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" and in August 2001, issued No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 143 establishes accounting standards for the recognition and measurement of an asset retirement obligation. SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, superseding SFAS No. 121. SFAS No. 143 and SFAS No. 144 were effective for the Company on July 1, 2002. The statements did not have an impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities." This statement addresses the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities. The scope of the current statement also includes (1) costs related to a termination contract that is not a capital lease and (2) termination benefits that employees who are involuntarily terminated receive under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred-compensation contract. SFAS No. 146 will be effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The implementation of this issue did not have an impact on the Company's results of operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2002. In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees". This Interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. This Interpretation does not prescribe a specific approach for subsequently measuring the guarantor's recognized liability over the term of the related guarantee. This Interpretation also incorporates, without change, the guidance in FASB Interpretation No. 34, Disclosure of Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, which is being superseded. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of this Interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, irrespective of the guarantor's fiscal year-end. The disclosure requirements in this Interpretation are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. At December 31, 2002, the Company has issued no guarantees that qualify for disclosure in this interim financial statement. 7 of 19
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -- Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. SFAS No. 148 will be effective for the Company on July 1, 2003. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this statement on its results of operations. 6. DIVIDENDS DECLARED On December 19, 2002, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per share for stockholders of record on December 31, 2002 to be paid January 15, 2003, such dividend payable has been recorded at December 31, 2002. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended December 31, 2002 amounted to $992,512. 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 and income taxes payable, and increases in inventories. Capital expenditures for new property and equipment (including production tooling) were $423,840 for the quarter. Budgeted capital expenditures for fiscal year 2003 are $1,082,000. The Company expects to generate sufficient funds through operations to fund these expenditures. Stockholders' investment increased to $14,127,918 at December 31, 2002, from $13,272,746 at June 30, 2002. The increase reflects the effect of the purchase and retirement of common stock, offset by net income and dividends. The Company amended its existing credit facility in July 2002, extending the maturity date of the unsecured line of credit to November 1, 2003. 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 common stock pursuant to the Company's common 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 Company uses its credit facility from time to time, although there was no utilization of this credit facility at December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2002. 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. Subsequently, the Board of Directors periodically has approved increases in the stock repurchase program. The most recent increase was for an additional $1,500,000 in April of 2002, for a maximum of $35,500,000. 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. 8 of 19
For the quarter ended December 31, 2002, the Company purchased 20,000 shares of its common stock at $17.00 per share, for a total purchase price of $340,000. From the commencement of the Company's stock repurchase program through December 31, 2002, the Company has purchased a total of 4,876,680 shares for a total gross purchase price of $38,917,045 (representing an average gross purchase price of $7.98 per share) and a total net purchase price of $34,842,072 (representing an average net purchase price of $7.15 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, 2002, the ESOP did not purchase any shares of the Company's stock. Results of Operations Net sales for the second quarter ended December 31, 2002 fell 20% to $7,818,848 from $9,751,397 for the same period in 2001. Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2002 were $16,773,826 down 10% compared with $18,702,808 during the same six months one year ago. This decline was due to soft retail business and a $282,670 return due to the Company's transition of their customer response team from an independent distributor operation to a direct sales operation. Gross profit as a percent of net sales remained generally consistent at 41% for the quarter ended December 31, 2002 compared to 40% for the same period in the prior year. For the six month period ended December 31, 2002, the gross profit percentage was 40% compared to 39% for the same period in 2001. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2002 were $1,733,143 or 22% of net sales, compared to $2,237,934 or 23% of net sales for the same period in 2001. For the six month period ended December 31, 2002, these expenses were $3,613,795 or 22% of net sales, compared to $4,163,898 or 22% of net sales, for the same period in 2001. For the second quarter ended December 31, 2002, income from operations was $1,457,717 versus $1,661,913 for the same period in the prior year. Income from operations for the six months ended December 31, 2002 was $3,107,822 as compared to $3,187,840 for the same period in 2001. 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, 2003. 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. 9 of 19
Royalty income for the quarter ended December 31, 2002 was $254,760, compared to $265,833 for the quarter ended December 31, 2001. For the six month period ended December 31, 2002 royalty income was $418,271 compared to $433,547 for the period ending December 31, 2001. Interest income for the quarter was $2,502 as compared to $14,998 for the same quarter in 2001. For the six month period interest income was $6,781 compared to $22,270. The decrease in interest income in 2002 is a result of lower levels of invested excess cash. There was no interest expense recorded for the quarter as compared to $49,254 for the same period in the prior year. 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 December 19, 2002, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per share payable on January 15, 2003 to stockholders of record on December 31, 2002, which is recorded as dividends payable. New Accounting Pronouncements In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" and in August 2001, issued No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 143 establishes accounting standards for the recognition and measurement of an asset retirement obligation. SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, superseding SFAS No. 121. SFAS No. 143 and SFAS No. 144 were effective for the Company on July 1, 2002. The statements did not have an impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities." This statement addresses the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities. The scope of the current statement also includes (1) costs related to a termination contract that is not a capital lease and (2) termination benefits that employees who are involuntarily terminated receive under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred-compensation contract.
