(Unaudited)

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30 , 2020, the condensed consolidated statements of op erations for the three months ended September 30 , 2020 and 2019 , the condensed consolidated state ments of cash flows for the three months ended September 30 , 2020 and 2019, and the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders ' equity for the three months ended September 30 , 2020 and 2019, have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and have not been audited.    In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made.  The operating results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be experienced for the full fiscal year.

Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP  have been condensed or omitted.  These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 .

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but are not limited to, allowances for doubtful accounts, reserves for excess and obsolete inventories, long-lived and intangible assets, income tax valuation allowance , non-cash stock-based compensation and deferred compensation. Actual results could differ from the Company's estimates.

B) INCOME TAXES

A state tax provision of $ 1,477 was recorded during the three months ended September 30 , 2020 , for states where there is no net operating loss carryforward .  There was no state tax provision for the three months ended September 30 , 2019. Utilization of net operating tax carryforwards and a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets reduced the federal income tax expense to zero for the three months ended September 30 , 2020 and 2019 . In states with net operating loss carryforward, utilization of net operating tax carryforwards and a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets reduced the state income tax expense to zero for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

2 .    INVENTORIES

The components of inventories were as follows:





---

3 .    CREDIT FACILITY AND SBA LOAN

On May 14, 2019, the Company entered into a secured credit facility ("Credit Agreement") with Town Bank (“Lender”) for a two -year term expiring on May 14, 2021. The Credit Agreement provides for a $5,000,000 revolving secured credit facility with an interest rate of 1.50% over LIBOR. The Credit Agreement also provides for letters of credit for the benefit of the Company of up to a sublimit of $1,000,000 . There are no unused line fees in the credit facility. The Company and the Lender also entered into a General Business Security Agreement dated May 14, 2019 under which the Company granted the Lender a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets in connection with the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type. The negative covenants include restrictions on other indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, certain investments, disposition of assets, mergers and liquidations, among other restrictions. The Company is currently in compliance with all covenants related to the Credit Agreement. As of September 30 , 2020, and June 30, 2020 , there were no outstanding borrowings on the facility.

On April 13, 2020, the Company received an unsecured loan (the "SBA Loan") under the Small Business Administration ("SBA") Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) of the CARES Act through Town Bank . The SBA Loan funds that were disbursed on April 14, 2020, have a two -year term expiring on April 14, 2022. The SBA Loan has a principal amount of $506,700 with an interest rate of 1.0% . The Company applied for f orgiveness as permitted under the PPP on August 7, 2020, for the full amount of the SBA Lo an using the 24 - week “Covered P eriod ” under the PPP , which is why the debt is classified as short-term on the consolidated balance sheet . On November 3, 2020, the Company was notified that the full principal amount of $506,700 has been forgiven (see Note 8).





4 . REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company disaggregates it's net sales by geographical location as it believes it best depicts how the nature, timing and uncertainty of net sales and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The following table summarizes net sales by geographical location:





Deferred revenue relates primarily to consumer and customer warranties. These constitute future performance obligations and the Company defers revenue related to these future performance obligations. The Company recognized revenue, which was included in the deferred revenue liability at the beginning of the periods, of $111,030 and $ 158,053 in the three months ended September 30 , 2020 and 2019, respectively, for performance obligations related to consumer and customer warranties.  The deferred revenue liability was $8 08,488 as of June 30, 2019 . The Company estimates that the deferred revenue performance obligations are satisfied within one to three years and therefore uses that same time frame for recognition of the deferred revenue.

---

5 . INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON AND COMMON STOCK EQUIVALENT SHARE

Basic income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted income per common share is calculated assuming the exercise of stock options except where the result would be anti-dilutive.  The following table reconciles the numerator and denominator used to calculate basic and diluted income per share:





(1) Excludes approximately 2,750,176 and 2,775,321 weighted average stock options for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, as the impact of such awards was anti-dilutive.



6 .    LEASES

The Company leases its facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from Koss Holdings, LLC, which is wholly-owned by the former Chairman.  On January 5, 2017 , the lease was renewed for a period of five years, ending June 30, 2023, and is being accounted for as an operating lease.  The lease extension maintained the rent at a fixed rate of $380,000 per year and included an option to renew at the same rate for an additional five years ending June 30, 2028.  The Company is responsible for all property maintenance, insurance, taxes and other normal expenses related to ownership.

---

7.    LEGAL MATTERS

As of September 30, 2020, the Company is involved in the following matters described below:



• In July 2020, the Company filed complaints in United States District Court against each of Apple Inc. , Bose Corporation, PEAG, LLC d/b/a JLab Audio, Plantronics, Inc. and Polycom, Inc., and Skullcandy, Inc .  The complaints allege infringement on the Company’s patents relating to its wireless audio technology. In the event that a monetary award or judgment is received by the Company in connection with these complaints, all or portions of such amounts may be due to third parties. The Company does not expect to incur additional fees and costs related to these lawsuits that will have a material impact to its financial statements. Depending on the response to and the underlying results of the enforcement program, the Company may continue to litigate its claims, enter into licensing arrangements or reach some other outcome potentially advantageous to its competitive position.



• Early in fiscal year 2020 the Company was notified by One E-Way, Inc. that some of the Company's wireless products may infringe on certain One E-Way patents. No lawsuits involving these allegations have yet been filed and served on the Company.



The ultimate resolution of these matters is not determinable unless otherwise noted. We also are subject to a variety of other claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Although management currently believes that resolving these claims against us, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.





8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS



On November 3, 2020, the Company was notified that the SBA has forgiven the SBA Loan in the amount of $506,700 , which represents the full outstanding principal of the loan.

Results of Operations Summary



Financial Results

The following table presents selec ted financial data for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 :







---

Quarter Ended September 30, 2020 Results Compared with September 30, 2019

For the three mon ths ended September 30 , 2020, net sales declined 3.7% , primarily due to a decrease in sales to a US based mass retailer. Sales in the export markets and other domestic markets increased.

Net sales in the domestic market were approximately $3,952 ,000 in the three months ended September 30 , 2020, compared to approximately $4,501 ,000 last year. S ales to mass retail custom ers decreased approximately $809 ,000 in the three months ended September 30 , 2020 . Mass retail net sales included a large back-to-school promotion in the three months ended September 30 , 2019 .  Sales through online channels increased significantly in the three months ended September 30 , 2020.  The online sales activity was driven by the COVID-19 directives, which have caused many people to work and study remotely and have resulted in sales of communication headsets to facilitate that work and study. C ertain domestic distributors had high er sales in the three months ended September 30 , 2020 , due to COVID-19 related customer demand.

Export net sales increased 38 % to approximately $1,257 ,000 for the three months ended September 30 , 2020, compared to approximately $909 ,000 for the same period last year.  Sales to distributors in Europe were the primary drivers for the in crease. A significant portion of the increase was related to introduction of new products as well as increased sales of headphones used for working and studying remotely.

Gross profit increased to 31.4% for the three months ended September 30 , 2020, compared to 24.9% for the three months ended September 30 , 2019.  The high er gross profit in the current year was largely due to the promotional back-to-school sale to a domestic mass retail customer at very low margin in the three months ended September 30, 2019 . In addition, sales in the current quarter reflected a much more favorable mix of sales by market and product.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30 , 2020, de creased approximately $1 59 ,000 or 9.5 % compared to the prior year period . The primary factors were a de crease in legal and profes siona l fees of approximately $87 ,000 and a de crease in employee benefit costs of approximately $47 ,000 .  The legal and professional fees decreas e was caused by low er legal and professional fees related to the Company's intellectual property portfolio . The employee benefit costs were low er due to a de crease in the Company ’s match ing contributin for its 401(k) plan .

Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020, was comprised of the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% and the effect of state income taxes offset by an adjustment to the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. The effe ctive tax rate was less than 1 % in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 . It is anticipated that the effective rate in the current year and future years will be reduced by utilization of a portion or all of the approximately $897,000 of federal net operating loss carryforwards.

As previously reported, the Company has launched a program focused on enforcing its intellectual property and, in particular, certa in of its patent portfolio. The Company has continued to enforce its intellectual property by filing complaints against certain parties alleging infringement on the Co mpany’s patents relating to its wireless headphone technology. If the program is successful, the Company may receive royalties, offers to purchase its intellectual property, or other remedies advantageous to its competitive position; however, there is no guarantee of a positive outcome from these efforts, which could ultimately be time consuming and unsuccessful. Additionally, in the e vent that a monetary award or judgment is received by the Company in connection with these complaint s, all or portions of such amou n t s may be due to third parties.



The Company believes that it’s financial position remains strong. The Company had $3.4 million of cash and available credit facilities of $5.0 million on September 30, 2020.

COVID-19 Impact



The Company has been closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation to protect the health and safety of its employees and customers.  Business plans are being executed to maintain supply of the Company’s products to our customers throughout the world.

The Company’s financial results for the quarter ended September 30 , 2020 were positively impacted by the demand for specific communication headphones as more people were working from home and studying online due to COVID-19 related directives .  The increased domestic sales for these specific products in the quarter ended September 30 , 2020 resulted in shortages of certain products, which will take a c ouple months to replenish. However, c ertain retail businesses throughout the Company’s markets have seen continued disruption. This has resulted in a decline in business across our m arkets with the exception of on line retail.  The Company expects these negative sales impacts to continue until markets re-open and consumer spending returns to normal.

The magnitude of the COVID-19 pande mic, including the extent of its impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity, which could be material, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time due to the rapid development and fluidity of the situation. The Company's future results will be heavily determined by the duration of the pandemic, its geographic spread, further business disruptions and the overall impact on the global economy.

The Company’s supply chain is primarily in southern China.  This portion of the Company's supply chain was disrupted early in the quarter ended March 31 , 2020.  These disruptions are now having little on-going impact.  The remaining impacts relate to the movement of new product introductions and costs. The Company is monitoring the situation closely and the supply chain team has been executing business plans, which include, but are not limited to: (1) being alert to potential short supply situations; (2) accelerating delivery times from key suppliers; and, (3) utilizing alternative sources and/or air freight.



To protect the safety, health and well-being of employees, customers, and suppliers the Company continues to implement several preventive measures while also meeting the needs of global customers. They include increased frequency of cleaning and disinfecting of facilities, social distancing practices, remote working when possible, restrictions on business travel, cancellation of certain events and limitations on visitor access to facilities.



The Company is committed to continuing to execute these plans and will remain in close contact with its supply chain to monitor future possible implications, especially on production facilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes cash flows from operating, investing and f inancing activities for the three months ended September 30 , 2020 and 2019:





Operating Activities

The in crease in accounts receivable and prepaid assets wer e the driving factors for the in crease in cash used in oper ating activities during the three months ended September 30 , 2020.  The impact of these factors was partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as well as a decrease in inventories.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activ ities was higher for the three months ended September 30 , 2020, as the Company had increased expenditures for leasehold improvements and for tooling related to new product introductions. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021 , the Company anticipates it will incur total expenditures for tooling, leasehold improvements and capital expenditures of ap proximately $600,000 .  The Company expects to generate sufficient cash flow through operations or through the use of its available cash and its credit facility to fund these expenditures.

---

Financing Activities

As of September 30 , 2020, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on its bank line of credit facility.

There were no purchases of common stock in the quarters ended September 30, 2020 or 2019 under the stock rep urchase program. No stock options were exercised in the quarters ended September 30, 202 0 or 2019 .



Liquidity

The Company's capital expenditures are primarily for leasehold improvements and tooling. In addition, it has interest payments on its borrowings when it uses its line of credit facility. The Company believes that cash generated from operations, together with cash reserves and available borrowings, provide it with adequate liquidity to meet operating requirements, debt service requirements and planned capital expenditures for the next twelve months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. The Company regularly evaluates new product offerings, inventory levels and capital expenditures to ensure that it is effectively allocating resources in line with current market conditions.

Credit Facility and SBA Loan

On May 14, 2019, the Company entered into a secured credit facility ("Credit Agreement") with Town Bank (“Lender”) for a two-year term expiring on May 14, 2021. The Credit Agreement provides for a $5,000,000 revolving secured credit facility with an interest rate of 1.50% over LIBOR. The Credit Agreement also provides for letters of credit for the benefit of the Company of up to a sublimit of $1,000,000. There are no unused line fees in the credit facility. The Company and the Lender also entered into a General Business Security Agreement dated May 14, 2019 under which the Company granted the Lender a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets in connection with the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type. The negative covenants include restrictions on other indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, certain investments, disposition of assets, mergers and liquidations, among other restrictions. The Company is currently in compliance with all covenants related to the Credit Agreement. As of September 30 , 2020, and June 30, 2020 , there were no outstanding borrowings on the facility.



On April 13, 2020, the Company received an unsecured loan (the "SBA Loan") under the Small Business Administration ("SBA") Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) of the CARES Act through Town Bank . The SBA Loan funds that were disbursed on April 14, 2020, have a two-year term expiring on April 14, 2022. The SBA Loan has a principal amount of $506,700 with an interest rate of 1.0%. The Company applied for forgiveness as permitted under the PPP on August 7, 2020, of the full amount of the SBA Lo an using the 24 - week “Cove red P eriod ” under the PPP . The Company expects that the full principal amount of the loan will be forgiven. On November 3, 2020, the Company was notified that the full principal amount of $506,700 has been forgiven.

Contractual Obligation

The Company leases its facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from Koss Holdings, LLC, which is wholly-owned by the former Chairman.  On January 5, 2017 , the lease was renewed for a period of five years, ending June 30, 2023, and is being accounted for as an operating lease.  The lease extension maintained the rent at a fixed rate of $380,000 per year and included an option to renew at the same rate for an additional five years ending June 30, 2028.  The Company is responsible for all property maintenance, insurance, taxes and other normal expenses related to ownership.
