EXPLANATORY NOTE

Koss Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A to amend its original Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2003 (the “Original Report”).

Subsequent to the filing of the Original Report on February 17, 2004, the Company concluded that certain provisions of a stock repurchase agreement with the Chairman of the Company required the adoption of SFAS 150 “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.” The new accounting pronouncement was effective for public companies for interim periods beginning after June 15, 2003.

The change is reflected in this Form 10-Q/A: (i) on the Company’s balance sheet set forth in Item 1. — Financial Statements as an increase in other assets of $49,125, an increase in derivative liability of $125,000, a decrease in contingently redeemable equity interest of $1,490,000, and an increase in stockholders’ investment of $1,414,125; (ii) on the Company’s income statement set forth in Item 1. — Financial Statements as a loss of $75,875 reflecting the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle; (iii) on the Company’s statement of cash flows as an adjustment of $75,875 reflecting the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle; (iv) in Item 2. — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; (v) in Item 4. — Controls and Procedures, in the discussion of Recently Issued Financial Accounting Pronouncements; and (vi) in updated certifications of certain executive officers, as of the date of this Form 10-Q/A.

This Form 10-Q/A is hereby amended, as described above, and for convenience of reference is restated in its entirety as set forth herein.

This amended quarterly report continues to speak as of the original date of the original quarterly report and unless as otherwise noted, the Company has not updated the disclosure in this amended quarterly report to speak as of a later date.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

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, 2003 and for all periods presented have been made. The income from operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 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, 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
 
    Certain balances contained in the June 30, 2003 financial statements have been reclassified with the December 31, 2003 presentation.
 
2.   EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
 
    Basic earnings per common 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, 2003 and 2002 were 3,767,929 and 3,655,242, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, weighted average number of common             shares outstanding were 3,767,011 and 3,662,898, respectively. When dilutive, stock options are included as share equivalents using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents of 115,523 and 191,603 related to stock option grants were included in the computation of the average number of shares outstanding for diluted earnings per common share for the quarters ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Common stock equivalents of 126,021 and 187,599 related to stock option grants were included in the computation of the average number of shares outstanding for diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

4.   STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
 
    The Company has an agreement with its Chairman, John C. Koss, to, at the request of the executor of the estate, repurchase Company common stock from his estate in the event of his death. The Company does not have the right to require the estate to sell stock to the Company. As such, this arrangement is accounted for as a written put option with the fair value of the put option recorded as a derivative liability. The fair value of the option at December 31, 2003 was $125,000. 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 may elect to pay the purchase price in cash or may elect to pay cash equal to 25% of the total amount due and to execute a promissory note for the balance, payable over four years, at the prime rate of interest. The Company maintains a $1,150,000 life insurance policy to fund a substantial portion of this obligation. At December 31, 2003, $125,000 has been classified as a derivative liability on the Company’s financial statements.
 
5.   RECENTLY ISSUED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
    During April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for certain derivative instruments. We anticipate the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We are in the process of determining the impact of this statement.
 
    During May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity,” which establishes standards for the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The Company adopted SFAS No. 150 effective July 1, 2003. Upon adoption the Company recorded a derivative liability for the fair market value of a written put option of $125,000 and a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $75,875 (net of the tax effect equal to $49,125) in the income statement. In addition, the contingently redeemable equity interest as of $1,490,000, as of July 1, 2003, was reclassified into equity. See Note 4 — Stock Purchase Agreement.
 
6.   DIVIDENDS DECLARED
 
    On December 19, 2003, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per share for stockholders of record on December 31, 2003 to be paid January 15, 2004. Such dividend payable has been recorded at December 31, 2003.

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, 2003 amounted to $1,581,433. This was primarily a result of net income for the period partially offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily related to increases in accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable, and income taxes payable.

Capital expenditures for new property and equipment (including production tooling) were $272,874 for the six months ended December 31, 2003. Budgeted capital expenditures for fiscal year 2004 are $1,573,000. The Company expects to generate sufficient funds through operations to fund these expenditures.

Table of Contents

Stockholders’ investment increased to $18,611,907 at December 31, 2003, from $16,501,202 at June 30, 2003. The increase reflects the effect of net income and the effect of the change in accounting principle related to the adoption of Statement of Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 150, in connection with the stock repurchase agreement with the Chairman of the Company (for more information, see the Recently Issued Financial Accounting Pronouncements section below), offset by the purchase and retirement of common stock and dividends declared during the period.

The Company amended its existing credit facility in October 2003, extending the maturity date of the unsecured line of credit to November 1, 2004. 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, 2003 or June 30, 2003.

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 have approved increases in the stock repurchase program. The most recent increase was for an additional $2,000,000 in January 2003, for a maximum of $37,500,000. 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.

For the six month period ended December 31, 2003, the Company purchased 45,000 shares of its common stock at a net price of $13.59 per share, for a total net purchase price of $611,325. The Company will continue to repurchase its shares from the open market when the Board of Directors determines the shares to be undervalued. As of the date hereof, the Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase by the Company of up to $2,112,685.82 in Company common stock at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

From the commencement of the Company’s stock repurchase program through December 31, 2003, the Company has purchased a total of 4,969,180 shares for a total gross purchase price of $40,655,545, (representing an average gross purchase price of $8.18 per share) and a total net purchase price of $36,030,060 (representing an average net purchase price of $7.25 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 Plan 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 six months ended December 31, 2003, the ESOP purchased 3,633 shares of the Company’s stock.

Results of Operations

Net sales for the second quarter ended December 31, 2003 rose 26% to $9,839,572 from $7,818,848 for the same period in 2002. Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2003 were $19,004,263 up 13% compared with $16,773,826 during the same six months one year ago. This was due to sales increases in the Company’s largest accounts both in the U.S. and Europe.

Gross profit as a percent of net sales was 38% for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 compared to 41% for the same period in the prior year. For the six month period ended December 31, 2003, the gross profit

Table of Contents

percentage was 38% compared to 40% for the same period in 2002. This was primarily due to the Company experiencing higher incoming freight costs compared to prior years.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 were $1,972,115 or 20% of net sales, compared to $1,733,143 or 22% of net sales for the same period in 2002. For the six month period ended December 2003, these expenses were $4,001,849 or 21% of net sales, compared to $3,613,795 or 22% of net sales, for the same period in 2002.

For the second quarter ended December 31, 2003, income from operations was $1,769,885 versus $1,457,717 for the same period in the prior year. Income from operations for the six months ended December 31, 2003 was $3,237,796 as compared to $3,107,822 for the same period in 2002. This was due to the Company experiencing higher sales volume.

Effective July 1, 1998, the Company entered into a License Agreement and an Addendum thereto with Logitech Electronics Inc. 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, 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, 2004. Pursuant to this License Agreement, Jiangsu Electronics has agreed to meet certain minimum royalty amounts each year. The products covered by this License Agreement include various consumer electronics products.

Effective June 30, 2003, the Company entered into a License Agreement with Sonigem Products, Inc. (“Sonigem”) of Ontario, Canada whereby the Company licensed to Sonigem the right to sell video and communications products under the Koss brand name. This License Agreement covers Canada, requiring royalty payments by Sonigem through June 30, 2010, subject to certain minimum annual royalty amounts.

Royalty income for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 was $387,367, compared to $254,760 for the quarter ended December 31, 2002. For the six month period ended December 31, 2003 royalty income was $577,692 compared to $418,721 for the period ending December 31, 2002. The increase in royalty income was due to increased sales by Jiangsu Electronics.

Interest income for the quarter was $701 as compared to $2,502 for the same quarter in 2002. For the six month period interest income was $5,121 compared to $6,781. The decrease in interest income in 2003 is a result of lower levels of invested excess cash.

Interest expense was $960 compared to $11,290 for the six months ended December 31, 2003.

On December 19, 2003, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per share payable on January 15, 2004 to stockholders of record on December 31, 2003, which is recorded as dividends payable.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Pronouncements

During April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for certain derivative instruments. We do not anticipate the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our

10 of 21


Table of Contents

consolidated financial statements, as we are not currently a party to derivative financial instruments included in this standard.

During May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity,” which establishes standards for the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The Company adopted SFAS No. 150 effective July 1, 2003. Upon adoption the company recorded a derivative liability for the fair market value of a written put option of $125,000 and a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $75,875 (net of the tax effect equal to $49,125) in the income statement.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

In management’s opinion, the Company does not engage in any material risk sensitive activities and does not have any market risk sensitive instruments, other than the Company’s commercial credit facility used for working capital purposes and stock repurchases as disclosed on page 8 of this Form 10-Q.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report and concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Subsequent to the date of the initial filing of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, management became aware that a provision in the Company’s stock repurchase agreement with its Chairman required adjustments to the Company’s financial statements upon a change of accounting principles mandated subsequent to the date of the agreement. Our management has now subscribed to additional publications in order to keep current on applicable accounting issues and our new independent auditors will brief us on new accounting pronouncements and releases to attempt to avoid any similar errors in the future. Our financial reporting process with respect to preparation and review of regulatory filings have also been enhanced to include the utilization of a checklist by the preparer and reviewer to ensure that new accounting pronouncements and regulatory requirements are incorporated in the filing.

The discovery of the error in the recording of the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle has affected, to some extent, the Company’s previous conclusion about the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Management is of the view that this error does not constitute a “material weakness” in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified by management. A “material weakness” is defined, in the relevant accounting literature, as a “reportable condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by errors or fraud in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions.” Although this error could constitute a “significant deficiency,” management has considered the significance of the error (together with other reported errors) in light of the financial statements taken as whole and believes that the error does not evidence or constitute a “material weakness” in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.

Therefore, based on an overall evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, including an evaluation of any possible significant deficiencies and the corrective actions taken by the management in response to the discovery of the accounting error, the Company’s management concludes that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms.

Subsequent to the date of the initial filing of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, there have been changes, as described above, in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Management is of the view that these changes have not materially affected and are not reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
