We were extremely pleased to complete fiscal year 2011 with a solid increase in net sales, Michael J. Koss, President and CEO, said here today. Export sales continued to be strong throughout the year. We hope that our new product and marketing initiatives for fiscal year 2012 will help the Company overcome much of the worldwide economic uncertainty.

Fiscal year 2011 included $826,183 of proceeds for insurance and other recoveries that exceeded the costs for legal fees related to previously reported unauthorized transactions. Fiscal year 2010 included $10,286,988 of unauthorized transactions that occurred from July 2009 through December 2009. In addition, the Company in fiscal year 2010 incurred $1,666,986 of net charges for legal fees as well as other professional fees offset by insurance proceeds related to the unauthorized transactions.
The Company will pay a dividend of $0.06 cents per share on October 14, 2011, to shareholders of record on September 30, 2011.
