AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1) Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, Sale of All or Substantially All of the
Assets of Spatializer Audio Laboratories, Inc. and Desper Products, Inc.
Spatializer has been a developer, licensor and marketer of next generation technologies for
the consumer electronics, personal computing, entertainment and cellular telephone markets. Our
technology is incorporated into products offered by our licensees and customers on various economic
and business terms.
The Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, Desper Products, Inc. (DPI), has been in the business
of developing proprietary advanced audio signal processing technologies and products for consumer
electronics, entertainment, and multimedia computing. All Company revenues are generated from DPI.
On December 19, 2005, at a regularly scheduled board of directors meeting, the board of
directors of Spatializer discussed Spatializers current financial outlook. Management indicated to
the board of directors that two customers, the revenues from which accounted for approximately 70%
of Spatializers income during 2005, would not be sustainable in 2006. This called into
question the ability of the Company to operate as a going concern. The Companys financial
statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern.
As previously reported, on September 18, 2006, the Company and DPI entered into an Asset
Purchase Agreement with DTS, Inc. and a wholly owned subsidiary thereof pursuant to which the
Company and DPI agreed to sell substantially all of their intellectual property assets. A special
stockholders meeting was called for January 24, 2007 to approve sale of assets and to authorize the
dissolution of the Company. Proxies were mailed on or about December 1, 2006. The meeting was
adjourned without a final vote in the Boards view of the best interest of the stockholders. The
meeting was reconvened on February 21, 2007. The vote required to approve the asset sale and
dissolution was a majority of the shares outstanding on the record date. The dissolution proposal
was contingent upon approval of the asset sale. A total of 15,334,520 shares voted on the asset
sale proposal, of which 14,407,084 shares were voted in favor, 823,182 shares voted against and
104,284 votes abstained. Although the votes cast on the proposal to sell the assets was
overwhelmingly in favor thereof, the requisite vote was not obtained. As a result, the proposal
regarding dissolution was not presented to a vote of stockholders.
On April 25, 2007, pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 25, 2007, the
Company sold to a group of investors, in a private transaction, an aggregate of 16,236,615 shares
for an aggregate purchase price of $422,152, of which $259,786 was placed into escrow and was
released ten days after the closing of the sale of assets to DTS.
The Company re-solicited a vote on the sale of assets to DTS in the second quarter of 2007.
The Asset Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein were
5
Table of Contents
approved by the
stockholders of the Company at a special meeting on June 15, 2007. The
Asset Purchase Agreement was consummated with DTS on July 2, 2007. Upon the conclusion of a
nine month indemnification period, the Company plans to distribute substantially all of its
remaining cash assets to its stockholders, after satisfying its liabilities and leaving a $100,000
cash residual. There is no assurance that there will be any funds available for distribution to
stockholders. The Company has no plans to dissolve.
The foregoing interim financial information is unaudited and has been prepared from the books
and records of the Company. The financial information reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. All such adjustments were of a normal
recurring nature for interim financial reporting. Operating results for the three months ended
September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2007. Accordingly, your attention is directed to footnote disclosures found in
the December 31, 2006 Annual Report and particularly to Note 2 thereof, which includes a summary of
significant accounting policies.
The foregoing financial information has been prepared assuming that the Company will continue
as a going concern. As discussed above, the Companys current circumstances, including significant
operating losses, raise substantial doubt about the likelihood that the Company will continue as a
going concern. The foregoing financial information does not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Spatializer Audio Laboratories, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, DPI. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Corporate
administration expenses are not allocated to subsidiaries.
Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes royalty revenue upon reporting of such royalties
by licensees. License revenues are recognized when earned, in accordance with the contractual
provisions, typically upon our delivery of contracted services or delivery and contractual
availability of licensed product. Royalty revenues are recognized upon shipment of products
incorporating the related technology by the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and foundries,
as reported by quarterly royalty statements. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC
Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104.
Deferred Revenue The Company receives royalty fee advances from certain customers in
accordance with contract terms. The Company does not require advances from all customers. Advances
are negotiated on a per contract basis. Cash received in advance of revenue earned from a contract
is recorded as deferred revenue until the related contract revenue is earned under the Companys
revenue recognition policy.
Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company
to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and
6
Table of Contents
trade accounts
receivable. The Company places its temporary cash investments in certificates
of deposit in excess of FDIC insurance limits, principally at CitiBank FSB. At September 30,
2007 substantially all cash and cash equivalents were on deposit at two financial institutions.
At September 30, 2007, we had no accounts receivable, since all revenue generating
intellectual property assets were sold on July 2, 2007. At September 30, 2006, two customers, not
presented in the order of importance, Sharp and Funai, accounted for 57% and 14% respectively of
our. accounts receivable.
The Company performed ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and normally does not
require collateral to support accounts receivable. Due to the contractual nature of sales
agreements and historical trends, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided nor was
needed.
The Company does not apply interest charges to past due accounts receivable.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with
original maturities of six months or less.
Customers Outside of the U.S. Sales to foreign customers were 100% and 100% of total sales
in the year to date periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Approximately 83% and
17% of sales were generated in Korea and Japan, respectively, in the nine months ended September
30, 2007
Major Customers During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, three customers, Epson, Orion
and Sharp, not presented in order of importance, accounted for 43%,23% and 23% of the Companys
revenue. During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, two customers, Sharp and Funai, not presented
in order of importance, accounted for 57% and 14% of the Companys revenue.
Research and Development Costs The Company expenses research and development costs as
incurred, which is presented as a separate line on the statement of operations.
Property and Equipment Property and equipment were stated at cost. Major renewals and
improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which
do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed. At the time property and
equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation
accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are
credited or charged to income. Property and equipment were depreciated over the useful lives of the
asset ranging from 3 years to 5 years under the straight line method. All property and equipment
were sold on July 2, 2007.
Intangible Assets Intangible assets consisted of patent costs and trademarks which were
amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the patents which range from
five to twenty years. The weighted average useful life of patents was approximately 11 years. All
of our intangible assets had finite lives as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
(SFAS) 142. All Intangible assets were sold on July 2, 2007.

Earnings Per Share Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income
(loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential
dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or
converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the
earnings of the entity. The following table presents contingently issuable shares, options and
warrants to purchase shares of common stock that were outstanding during the three month periods
ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 which were not included in the computation of diluted loss per
share because the impact would have been anti-dilutive or less than $0.01 per share:

Stock Option Plan During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company determined
the effects of stock based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation ,as amended which permitted entities to recognize expense using the fair-value
method over the vesting period of all employee stock-based awards on the date of grant.
Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 allowed entities to continue to utilize the intrinsic value method
for equity instruments granted to employees and provide pro forma net income (loss) and pro forma
earnings (loss) per share disclosures for employee stock option grants after 1994 as if the
fair-value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 has been applied. The Company elected to continue
to utilize the intrinsic value method for employee stock option grants and provide the pro forma
disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 (Note 7)
On January 1, 2006 the Company adopted SFAS 123R, Share Based Payment, using the modified
prospective transition method to account for changes to the method of accounting for options
outstanding at the effective date. Estimated compensation cost of $11,725 related to vested options
outstanding as of January 1, 2006, net of those cancelled or expired during 2006, has been
recognized as additional paid-in capital. The statements of operations for periods prior to the
effective date have not been restated.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Assets to be Disposed of The Company adopted the
provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, on January 1, 2002.
This Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by
the asset. If such
8
Table of Contents
assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is
measured as the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the
assets.
Segment Reporting The Company adopted SFAS 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information (SFAS No. 131), in December 1997. MDT has been considered a discontinued
operation since September 1998. The Company has only one operating segment, DPI, the Companys
audio enhancement licensing business.
Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period
that includes the enactment date.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 replaces the different definitions of fair value in the
accounting literature with a single definition. It defines fair value as the price that would be
received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 is effective for fair-value measurements already
required or permitted by other standards for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has not yet
determined the impact, if any, of adopting the provisions of SFAS 157 on its financial position,
results of operations and cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS 159 permits entities
to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the
provisions of SFAS 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option; however, the
amendment to FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities, applies to all entities with available for sale and trading securities. The Company has
not yet determined the impact, if any, of adopting the provisions of SFAS 157 on its financial
position, results of operations and cash flows.
Use of Estimates Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities to prepare these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying values of cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and those potentially subject to valuation
risk at December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2007 approximated fair value due to their short
maturity or nature.

(7) Stock Options
In 1995, the Company adopted a stock option plan (the Plan) pursuant to which the Companys Board
of Directors may grant stock options to directors, officers and employees. The Plan which was
approved by the stockholders authorizes grants of options to purchase authorized but unissued
common stock up to 10% of total common shares outstanding at each calendar quarter, 6,500,000 as of
September 30, 2007. Stock options were granted under the Plan with an exercise price equal to the
stocks fair market value at the date of grant. Outstanding stock options under the Plan have
five-year terms and vest and become fully exercisable up to three years from the date of grant. The
Plan expired in February 2005. To date, the Company has not adopted a new stock option plan.

At September 30, 2007 there were no additional shares available for grant under the Plan,
since the Plan had expired in 2005. The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options
granted during 2005 and 2004 was $0.02 and $0.09, respectively, on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: 2005- expected
dividend yield 0%, risk-free interest rate of 4.5%, expected volatility of 150% and an expected
life of 5 years 2004- expected dividend yield 0%, risk-free interest rate of 4.1%, expected
volatility of 150% and an expected life of 5 years.
Through December 31, 2005, as permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company applied the intrinsic
value method outlined in APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its Plan and, accordingly, no
compensation cost was recognized for the fair value of its stock options in the consolidated
financial statements. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the
grant date for its stock options under SFAS No. 123, the Companys net loss would have been
increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R Share Based Payments, using the
modified prospective transition method to account for changes to the method of accounting for
1,750,000 vested options outstanding at the effective date. Estimated compensation cost related to
vested options outstanding as of January 1, 2006 was recognized as additional paid-in capital.
During the year ended December 31, 2006, 1,060,000 vested options expired or were cancelled,
resulting in a reduction of compensation cost and additional paid-in capital. Net compensation cost
recorded for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $11,725; net loss for
11
Table of Contents
the year was increased by a corresponding amount, or a basic and diluted loss per share of $0.00. The grant-date fair value of vested options was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with
the following weighted-average assumptions: expected dividend yield 0%; risk-free interest rate
of 4.5%, expected volatility of 100% and an expected life of 3 years
Options to purchase 600,000 shares of common stock were cancelled in the quarter ended
September 30, 2006 to two former directors as a result of their resignation form the Board of
Directors, per the Plan requirements.
Options to purchase 210,000 shares of common stock previously granted to two directors and two
employees, at an exercise price of $0.30 expired in April and May 2006..
Options to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock previously granted to one employee, at an
exercise price of $0.05 were cancelled after the resignation of the employee per terms of the
option agreement in August 2006.
In June 2007, options to purchase 600,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of
$0.12 per share, granted to two sitting directors expired.
At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the number of options exercisable and fully
vested was 1,150,000. The weighted-average exercise price of those options was $0.08; the weighted
average remaining contractual term was 2 years; and the aggregate intrinsic value was zero per
share.
There were no warrants outstanding at September 30, 2007 or 2006.
(8) Commitments and Contingencies
We also anticipate that, from time to time, we may be named as a party to legal proceedings
that may arise in the ordinary course of our business.
Operating Lease Commitments
The Company was obligated under one non-cancelable operating lease as of December 31, 2006.
Minimum rental payments for this operating lease were approximately $400 through April 2007, when
the lease expired.
Rent expense amounted to approximately $33,000, $25,000 and $23,000 for the years ended
December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and related primarily to leases for office space.
These leases expired during 2006 and were not renewed.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This information should be read in conjunction with Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006, the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes
thereto included in the Form 10-K and the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included in this report.
This report contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities
Reform Act of 1995, which are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties. Our actual results,
performance, or achievements may differ significantly from the results, performance, or
achievements expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements.
Executive Overview
On April 25, 2007, pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 25, 2007, the
Company sold to a group of investors, in a private transaction, an aggregate of 16,236,615 shares
for an aggregate purchase price of $422,152, of which $259,786 was placed into escrow, which sums
were to be released ten days after the closing of the sale of assets to DTS. On July 2, 2007, the
Company sold substantially all of its assets and those of its wholly owned subsidiary (excluding
cash and certain other specified items) to a wholly owned subsidiary of DTS, Inc. The funds
escrowed in April 2007 were subsequently released on July 16, 2007.
Revenues decreased to $30,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 compared to $68,000 for
the quarter ended September 30, 2006, a decrease of 56%. Revenues were comprised of residual
royalty receipts earned in the June 30, 2007 quarter, but not identified r received until after the
filing of our quarterly report for that period. Since all intellectual property was sold on July
2, 2007, revenues will not continue and a key issue discussed below is the future viability and
direction of the Company.
Net Income was $472,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007; $0.01 basic and diluted per
share, compared to net loss of $62,000, ($0.00) per share basic, for the quarter ended September
30, 2006. The increased net income results solely by the one time sale of the Companys assets.
There will be no more licensing revenue in the future under our current business model, as
substantially all of the assets of the Company were sold on July 2, 2007.
At September 30, 2007, we had $614,000 in cash and cash equivalents as compared to $229,000 at
December 31, 2006. The increase in cash resulted primarily from the asset sale and stock sale
discussed above. We had working capital of $1,606,000 at September 30, 2007 as compared with
working capital of $277,000 at December 31, 2006. Working capital increased due to the asset sale
and the stock sale. As previously disclosed, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, we sold
substantially all of our assets and those of our wholly owned subsidiary, DPI (excluding certain
assets, such as cash), to a wholly owned subsidiary of DTS, Inc. This transaction was approved by
the stockholders on June 15, 2007 and was
13
Table of Contents
closed on July 2, 2007.
An important demonstration of our commitment to our stockholders is a clear explanation of the
Companys operating results, risks and opportunities. The purpose of MD&A is to provide our
shareholders and other interested parties with information necessary to gain an understanding of
our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations. As such, we seek
to satisfy three principal objectives:
| to provide a narrative explanation of a companys financial statements in plain English that enables the average investor to see the company through the eyes of management; | ||
| to enhance the overall financial disclosure and provide the context within which financial information should be analyzed; and | ||
| to provide information about the quality of, and potential variability of, a companys earnings and cash flow, so that investors can ascertain the likelihood and relationship of past performance being indicative of future performance. |
We believe the best way to achieve this is to give the reader:
| An understanding of our operating environment and its risks | ||
| An outline of critical accounting policies | ||
| A review of our corporate governance structure | ||
| A review of the key components of the financial statements and our cash position and capital resources | ||
| A review of the important trends in the financial statements and our cash flow | ||
| Disclosure on our internal controls and procedures |
Operating Environment
Our business environment was very competitive, which factor impacted us in various ways, some
of which are discussed in greater detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2006. As a result, as previously disclosed, the Board of Directors decided in
2006 to cease operations and sell the assets of the Company and those of Desper Products, Inc. As
a result of the consummation of that asset sale, the following risk factors became more relevant:
| The Company Has No Means to Generate Revenue | ||
| The Amount of Any Cash Distribution to Stockholders is Undeterminable | ||
| A New Management Group, Involved in the April 25, 2007 Stock Offering Is |

Anticipated to Take Control of the Company After the Cash Distribution, No Funding Source or Business Model Has Been Revealed. Existing Stockholders Likely Will be Diluted |
In December 2005 our revenues were stagnant, with those from certain of our major customers winding
down. Revenues from certain of our other customers appeared not to be sustainable in the future.
In December 2005, two of our three independent directors resigned and the Chairman of the Board,
Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary resigned from all positions held
with the Company other than as a director, Chairman and Secretary. For these and other reasons,
and after exploring other exit strategies and opportunities, our Board of Directors concluded in
December 2005 to attempt to sell the Company either through a sale of assets or a sale of multiple,
non-exclusive perpetual licenses with a subsequent sale of the residual assets and engaged
Strategic Equity Group to assist us in this endeavor. After a long process of negotiation and
stockholder approval, the assets were sold to a subsidiary of DTS, Inc on July 2, 2007. The
transaction includes a nine month window within which DTS may file any claims for breaches of our
representations and warranties. Although we believe our representations and warranties to be true
and complete, it is possible that an unforeseen claim may arise that could put financial demands
on the Company.
We have no source of revenue beginning in the third quarter of 2007. Based on current and projected
operating levels, we do not believe that we can maintain our liquidity position at a consistent
level, on a short-term or long-term basis, without a new business model and outside funding. As
such, we intend to marshal our assets and satisfy liabilities and, after the contractual nine month
indemnification period relating to the sale of assets on July 2, 2007, intend to distribute the
remaining cash assets of the company, other than a $100,000 cash residual. While we expect there
will be a distribution to stockholders, there is no assurance of the amount thereof or that there
will be any remaining cash for distribution.
Even if we are diligent in marshalling our assets, the amount of the ultimate cash distribution, if
any, is undeterminable. Unforeseen legal fees, creditors and other unasserted claims and or the
cost of contacting stockholders and physically distributing the cash may be greater than
anticipated. This will reduce or eliminate cash available for distribution.
Upon distribution of the cash assets, it is anticipated that each of Messrs. Mandell and Civelli
will resign from the Board of Directors and the new investor group involved in the April 25, 2007
stock offering will take management control of the Company. Although there is no assurance thereof,
the new investors in the Company may bring forth their own plan in the future regarding the
direction of the Company. Should the new management believe it in the Companys and stockholders
best interests to raise additional financing to pursue new business opportunities, such new
financing is likely to dilute existing stockholders. Stockholders at the special meeting held on
June 15, 2007 approved amending the Companys charter and gave the Board of Directors authority to
affect a substantial reverse stock split at the time of its choosing and to increase the number of
authorized common and preferred shares. While a new financing and new business model, if affected,
could be successful, there is no assurance this will occur.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based
15
Table of Contents
upon our consolidated statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements
requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses based on historical experience and various other factors that
are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions. In consultation with our Board of Directors
and Audit Committee, we identified three accounting policies that we believe have historically been
critical to an understanding of our financial statements. These are important accounting policies
that require managements most difficult, subjective judgments. While these policies become much
less relevant in the absence of revenue generating assets, they remain relevant in the review of
prior period financial statements in this report and in understanding the residual revenue in the
current quarter.
The first critical accounting policy relates to revenue recognition. Royalty revenues have
been recognized upon shipment of products incorporating the related technology by the original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and foundries. These revenues were reported to us by our Licensees
in formal, written royalty reports, which serve as the basis for our quarterly revenue accruals.
Infrequently, certain written reports were received after our required reporting deadlines,
sometimes due to contractual requirements. In such cases, management tried to obtain verbal reports
or informal reports from the Licensee. In the absence of such information, management has utilized
conservative estimates based on information received or historical trends. In such isolated cases,
management strives to under-estimate such revenues to err on the side of caution. In the event such
estimates are used, the revenue for the following quarter is adjusted based on receipt of the
written report. In addition, any error in Licensee reporting, which is very infrequent, is adjusted
in the subsequent quarter when agreed by both parties as correct.
The second critical accounting policy relates to research and development expenses. We
expensed all research and development expenses as incurred. Costs incurred to establish the
technological feasibility of our algorithms (which is the primary component of our licensing) were
expensed as incurred and included in Research and Development expenses. Such algorithms were
refined based on customer requirements and licensed for inclusion in the customers specific
product. There are no production costs to capitalize as defined in Statement on Financial
Accounting Standards No. 86.
The third critical accounting policy relates to our long-lived assets. Substantially all of our
assets were sold on July 2, 2007 at a net realized value in excess of carrying value. The Company
has continually reviewed the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets using the
methodology prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 144, Accounting for
the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Company also reviewed long-lived assets and
the related intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Upon such an occurrence,
recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted net cash
flows to which the assets relate, to the carrying amount. If the asset was determined to be unable
to recover its carrying value, then intangible assets, if any, are written down first, followed by
the other long-lived assets to fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows,
appraised values or managements estimates, depending on the nature of the assets. Our intangible
assets consisted primarily of patents. We capitalized all costs directly attributable to patents
and trademarks, consisting primarily of legal and filing fees, and amortize such costs over the
16
Table of Contents
remaining life of the asset (which range from 3 to 20 years) using the straight-line method. In
accordance with SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, only intangible assets with
definite lives are amortized. Non-amortized intangible assets are instead subject to annual
impairment testing. The gain on the sale of the Companys assets proves that the historical net
carrying value of its assets exceeded the current carrying value.
Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going
concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Companys current circumstances,
including the sale of all its revenue generating assets and significant operating losses, raise
substantial doubt about the likelihood that the Company will continue as a going concern. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
Key Components of the Financial Statements and Important Trends
MD&A explains (a) the key components of each of our unaudited financial statements, including
the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Statements of Operations, the
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders Equity
contained elsewhere in this report, (b) key trends and (c) reasons for period-to-period
fluctuations.
The Consolidated Balance Sheet provides a snapshot view of our financial condition at the end
of our fiscal year. A balance sheet helps management and our stockholders understand the financial
strength and capabilities of our business. Balance sheets can help identify and analyze trends,
particularly in the area of receivables and payables. A review of cash compared to the comparable
year and in relation to ongoing profit or loss is intended to show the ability of the Company to
withstand business variations. The relationship between Current Assets and Current Liabilities
measures how much in liquid assets a company has available to build its business. The presence of
Deferred Revenue indicates cash received on revenue to be earned over the next twelve months.
Receivables that are substantially higher than revenue for the quarter may indicate a slowdown of
collections, with an impact on future cash position. This is addressed further in MD&A under
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
The Consolidated Statement of Operations tells the reader whether the Company had a profit or
loss for an applicable period. It shows key sources of revenue and major expense categories. It is
important to note period-to-period comparisons of each line item of this statement, reasons for any
fluctuation and how costs are managed in relation to the overall revenue trend of the business.
These statements are prepared using accrual accounting under generally accepted accounting
standards in the United States. This is addressed further in MD&A under Revenues and Operating
Expenses.
The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows explains the actual sources and uses of cash. Some
expenses of the Company, such as depreciation and amortization, do not result in a cash outflow in
the current period, since the underlying patent expenditure or asset purchase was made years
earlier. New capital expenditures, on the other hand, result in a disbursement of cash, but will be
expensed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations over its useful life. Fluctuations in
receivables and payables also explain why the net change in cash is not equal to the loss reported
on the Statement of Operations. Therefore, it is possible
17
Table of Contents
that the impact of a net loss on cash is less or more than the actual amount of the loss. This is
discussed further in MD&A under Liquidity and Capital Resources.
The Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders Equity shows the impact of the
operating results on the Companys equity. In addition, this statement shows new equity brought
into the Company through stock sales or stock option exercise. This is discussed further in MD&A
under Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Results of Operations
This report contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities
Reform Act of 1995, which are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties. Our actual results,
performance, or achievements may differ significantly from the results, performance, or
achievements expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements.
Revenues
Revenues decreased to $30,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 compared to $68,000 for
the quarter ended September 30, 2006, a decrease of 56%. Revenues in the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 were $751,000, compared to revenues of $261,000 in the comparable period last
year, an increase of 188%. Revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2007 declined due to no
new revenues generated in the quarter as a result of the sale, on July 2, 2007, of all revenue
generating assets. Current revenue represents a small underaccrual of the prior quarter royalties,
that resulted from the absence of licensee reports or cash receipts at the date of the last filing
of Form 10-Q. Revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased due to revenue from a
royalty payment received in the first quarter of 2007 which was recognized over the estimated
remaining ownership of the Companys audio assets before they were sold on July 2, 2007. There was
no such revenue in the comparable prior period.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $30,000 (100% of revenue)
compared to gross profit of $61,000 (90% of revenue) in the comparable period last year, a
decrease of 51%. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $687,000 (91% of
revenue) compared to $235,000 (90% of revenue) in the comparable period last year. Gross profit
in the three month period declined as a result of lower revenue. The nine-month period increased
primarily due to increased revenue. Gross margins increased in both periods, reflecting the
termination of the Japanese distributor relationship which caused no commissions to be earned on
Japanese revenue in the current periods.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2007 were $89,000 (297% of revenue)
compared to operating expenses of $122,000 (179% of revenue) in the comparable period last year, a
decrease of 27%. Operating expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $369,000 (49%
of revenue) compared to $530,000 (211% of revenue) in the comparable nine-month period last year.
The decrease in operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 resulted from
lower legal expenses and no solicitation or
18
Table of Contents
annual meeting fees relating to the assets and stock sale. The decrease in operating expenses
in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 resulted primarily from ongoing personnel
and operating expense reductions related to the suspension of day-to-day operations during the
process of attempting to sell the assets of the Company, with the goal of conserving cash.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2007 were
$89,000 (297% of revenue) compared to general and administrative expenses of $122,000 (179% of
revenue) in the comparable period last year, a decrease of 27%. General and administrative
expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $369,000 (49% of revenue) compared to
$371,000 (142% of revenue) in the comparable nine month period last year. The decrease in
operating expenses in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 resulted primarily from
ongoing personnel and operating expense reductions.
Research and Development
Research and Development expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2007 were nil (0%
of revenue) compared to research and development expenses of nil (0% of revenue) in the
comparable period last year. Research and Development expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 were nil (0% of revenue) compared to $158,000 (82% of revenue)in the
comparable nine month period last year. The decrease in the nine month research and development
expenses resulted from the elimination of an in-house applications engineering position, the
resignation of the principal engineer in May 2006 and the suspension of day-to-day operations
during the process of attempting to sell the assets of the Company.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and Marketing expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2007 were nil (0% of
revenue) compared to sales and marketing expenses of nil (0% of revenue) in the comparable
period last year. Sales and Marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were
nil (0% of revenue) compared to $1,000 (1% of revenue) in the comparable nine month period last
year. The decrease in sales and marketing expense in the nine month periods resulted from the
suspension of all travel and selling activities during the process of attempting to sell the
assets of the Company, with the resignation of the CEO who performed this function as among his
duties.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income in the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $472,000, $0.01 basic and diluted
per share, compared with net loss of ($62,000), ($0.00) basic per share in the comparable period
last year. Net income in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $856,000, $0.02 basic and
diluted per share, compared with net loss of ($297,000), ($0.01) basic per share in the comparable
period last year. Net Income resulted from (i) increased revenues from the one time license renewal
in the first quarter 2007 and (ii) from a net gain of $515,000 from the sale of assets, which
increased other income in the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2007.
19
Table of Contents
At September 30, 2007, we had $614,000
in cash and cash equivalents as compared to $229,000 at
December 31, 2006. The increase in cash resulted primarily from the asset sale and stock sale. We
had working capital of $1,606,000 at September 30, 2007 as compared with working capital of
$277,000 at December 31, 2006. Working capital increased due to the asset sale and the stock sale
as discussed above. As previously disclosed, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, we sold
substantially all of our assets and those of our wholly owned subsidiary, DPI (excluding certain
assets, such as cash), to a wholly owned subsidiary of DTS, Inc. This transaction was approved by
the stockholders on June 15, 2007 and was closed on July 2, 2007.
There is no current source of future cash flow for the Company as we sold substantially all of
our audio assets and those of our wholly owned subsidiary, Desper Products, Inc., on July 2, 2007.
Based on current and projected operating levels, we do not believe that we can maintain our
liquidity position at a consistent level, on a short-term or long-term basis, without a new
business model and outside funding. As such, we intend to marshal our assets and after a
contractual nine month indemnification period relating to the sale of assets on July 2, 2007, we
will distribute the remaining cash assets of the company, after satisfying liabilities and leaving
a $100,000 cash residual. Upon distribution of the cash assets, it is anticipated that each of
Messrs. Mandell and Civelli will resign from the Board of Directors and the new investor group
involved in the April 25, 2007 stock offering will take management control of the Company. Although
there is no assurance thereof, the new investors in the Company may bring forth their own plan in
the future regarding the direction of the Company, including new, revenue generating businesses.
In September 2006, the Company and DPI entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with DTS, Inc.
and a wholly owned subsidiary thereof pursuant to which we agreed to sell substantially all of our
assets (other than certain excluded assets, such as cash). The consummation of the asset sale was
subject to approval of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the
Company. In April 2007, the Company sold an aggregate of 16,236,615 shares of its Common Stock
to certain investors.
The Company held a special meeting of stockholders on June 15, 2007 to vote on the asset sale
transaction but not with respect to the dissolution of the Company. The asset sale transaction was
approved. The asset sale transaction closed on July 2, 2007. There is no assurance that there will
be any funds available for distribution to stockholders.
Net Operating Loss Carry forwards
At September 30, 2007, we had net operating loss carry forwards for Federal income tax
purposes of approximately $25,700,000 which are available to offset future Federal taxable income,
if any, through 2014. Approximately $21,700,000 of these net operating loss carry forwards is
subject to an annual limitation of approximately $1,000,000.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements . SFAS 157 replaces the different definitions of fair value in the
accounting literature with a single definition. It defines fair value as the price
20
Table of Contents
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 is effective for
fair-value measurements already required or permitted by other standards for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal
years. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, of adopting the provisions of SFAS
157 on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS 159 permits entities
to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the
provisions of SFAS 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option; however, the
amendment to FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities, applies to all entities with available for sale and trading securities. The Company has
not yet determined the impact, if any, of adopting the provisions of SFAS 157 on its financial
position, results of operations and cash flows.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We have not been exposed to material future earnings or cash flow fluctuations from changes in
interest rates on our short-term investments at September 30, 2007. A hypothetical decrease of 100
basis points in interest rate (ten percent of our overall earnings rate) would not result in a
material fluctuation in future earnings or cash flow. We have not entered into any derivative
financial instruments to manage interest rate risk or for speculative purposes and we are not
currently evaluating the future use of such financial instruments.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures,
as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Due to the
Companys present circumstances, there are only one remaining part-time employee and a contract
bookkeeper that are responsible for maintenance of the accounting records and other aspects of
internal control. Thus, segregation of duties is limited, and there is limited oversight of the
remaining employee. While the contract bookkeeper initiates disbursements, and while the employee
signs the checks, the lack of segregation of duties, forced by the circumstances, must be deemed a
material weakness in internal controls. Nevertheless, based on that evaluation, the Chairman of
the Board, acting as the principal executive and principal financial officer of the Company,
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this
report were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports
that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commissions
rules and forms. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time we may be involved in various disputes and litigation matters arising in the
normal course of business. As of October 28, 2007 we are not involved in any legal proceedings that
are expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. Were an
unfavorable ruling to occur, given the size of our company, there exists the possibility of a
material adverse impact on our results of operations of the period in which the ruling occurs. Our
estimate of the potential impact on our financial position or overall results of operations for new
legal proceedings could change in the future.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, stockholders should
carefully consider the factors discussed in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, which could materially affect our business, financial
condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the
only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or
that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business,
financial condition and/or operating results.
