1. | CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | |
The financial statements presented herein are based on interim amounts. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at March 31, 2006 and for all periods presented have been made. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The income from operations for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2006 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 Registrants June 30, 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. | ||
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 March 31, 2006 and 2005 were 3,528,124 and 3,689,728, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, weighted average number of common shares outstanding were 3,753,223 and 3,829,820, respectively. When dilutive, stock options are included as share equivalents using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents of 195,574 and 85,999 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 March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Common stock equivalents of 105,957 and 126,900 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 nine months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, 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. |
6
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 March 31, 2006 was $125,000. The repurchase price is 95% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date that notice, if the estate elects, to repurchase is provided to the Company. Under the agreement, the total number of shares to be repurchased will be sufficient to provide proceeds which are the lesser of $2,500,000 or the amount of estate taxes and administrative expenses incurred by the Chairmans 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 March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2005, $125,000 has been classified as a derivative liability on the Companys financial statements. | ||
5. | DIVIDENDS DECLARED | |
On March 17, 2006, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per share for stockholders of record on March 31, 2006 to be paid April 14, 2006. Such dividend payable has been recorded at March 31, 2006. | ||
6. | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | |
In 1990, pursuant to the recommendation of the Board of Directors, the stockholders ratified the creation of the Companys 1990 Flexible Incentive Plan (the 1990 Plan). The 1990 Plan is administered by a committee of the Board of Directors and provides for the granting of various stock-based awards including stock options to eligible participants, primarily officers and certain key employees. A total of 225,000 shares of common stock were available in the first year of the Plans existence. Each year thereafter additional shares equal to .25% of the shares outstanding as of the first day of the applicable fiscal year were reserved for issuance pursuant to the 1990 Plan. On July 22, 1992, the Board of Directors authorized the reservation of an additional 250,000 shares for the 1990 Plan, which was approved by the stockholders. In 1993, the Board of Directors authorized the reservation of an additional 300,000 shares for the 1990 Plan, which was approved by the stockholders. In 1997, the Board of Directors authorized the reservation of an additional 300,000 shares for the 1990 Plan, which was approved by the stockholders. In 2001, the Board of Directors authorized the reservation of an additional 300,000 shares for the 1990 Plan, which was also approved by the stockholders. Options generally vest at 25% each anniversary date after grant, with a maximum term of five to ten years. | ||
During December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, Shared-Based Payments (SFAS 123R), which changed the accounting for equity compensation programs. Under SFAS 123R, companies that award share-based payments to employees, including stock options, must begin to recognize the expense of these awards in the financial statements at the time the employees receive the awards. As allowed by SFAS 123 and SFAS 148, the Company elected to follow APB Opinion No. 25 (APB 25) in accounting for its stock option plan until the effective date of SFAS 123R. The accounting as provided by SFAS 123R was effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2005, which was the beginning of the Companys current fiscal year. The adoption of SFAS 123Rs fair value method has an impact on the Companys results of operations, although it does not have an impact on the overall financial position. The impact on cash flows from operations is not material. | ||
The effect of applying the expense recognition provisions of SFAS 123R on income before provision for income taxes, net income and basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months and the nine months ended March 31, 2006 is presented below: |

The fair value of each option grant was estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The resulting compensation cost for fixed awards with graded vesting schedules was amortized on a straight line basis over the vesting period for the entire award. | ||
As of March 31, 2006, there was approximately $1,035,355 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested options granted under the plan. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.83 years. | ||
SFAS 123R also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as financing cash flow, rather than as operating cash flow as required under the current standards. This requirement reduces the net cash provided by operation activities and increase the net cash from financing activities in periods after adoption. The Company cannot estimate what these amounts will be in the future because it will depend on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options. The effect of applying the provisions of SFAS 123R on cash flow from operations and cash flow from financing activities was not material for the three months or the nine months ended March 31, 2006. | ||
Prior to fiscal 2006, the Company accounted for its stock-based employee compensation plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB 25. All options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R to stock-based employee compensation, for the three months and the nine months ended March 31, 2005: |

A dispute has arisen regarding two shipments of products made in November 2005 that were provided to a former Swedish distributor. The total amount of the products shipped were approximately $292,000, and the Company has not received any payment yet for these shipments. The Company is attempting to recover the amounts of goods shipped from the former Swedish distributor and the freight forwarders, and has initiated certain legal proceedings to attempt to recover these amounts owed. In the meantime, the Company has recorded a reserve amounting to $150,000 for potential estimated losses from the amounts owed from these shipments. This amount is reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the periods ending March 31, 2006. | |||
On May 9, 2006, the Company announced that it will distribute a special cash dividend of $1.00 per share on July 15, 2006 to shareholders of record June 30, 2006. |

(a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be timely disclosed, is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely fashion. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this report, has concluded that the Companys 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 the Companys management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate 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 in the SECs rules and forms. | |
(b) | Changes in Internal Controls. The Companys internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) is designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Companys most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting. However, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. |
