NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2007
(Unaudited)
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 December 31, 2007 and for all periods presented have been made. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The income from operations for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2007 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, 2007 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 December 31, 2007 and 2006 were 3,674,516 and 3,690,760, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, weighted average number of common shares outstanding were 3,672,664 and 3,700,348, respectively. When dilutive, stock options are included as share equivalents using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents of 19,677 and 78,172 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, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Common stock equivalents of 22,293 and 71,332 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, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
3. INCOME TAXES
We file income tax returns in the United States (Federal), Wisconsin (state) and various other state jurisdictions. We are not currently subject to income tax examinations in any of our significant tax jurisdictions. Tax years open to examination by tax authorities under the statute of limitations include fiscal 2006 through 2007 for Federal and fiscal 2003 through 2007 for most states jurisdictions.
We adopted the provisions for FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on July 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we did not recognize a significant change in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $60,000 as of July 1, 2007. The liability does not include an amount for accrued penalties. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. We do not expect a significant increase or decrease to the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months. There was no material change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits during the first six months ended December 31, 2007.

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, 2007 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 Chairman’s 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, 2007 and June 30, 2007, $125,000 has been classified as a derivative liability on the Company’s financial statements.
5. DIVIDENDS DECLARED
On November 6, 2007, the Company declared a special cash dividend of $1.00 per share for the stockholders of record on November 16, 2007, paid on December 17, 2007.
On December 13, 2007, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per share for the stockholders of record on December 31, 2007 to be paid January 15, 2008. Such dividend payable has been recorded at December 31, 2007.
6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In 1990, pursuant to the recommendation of the Board of Directors, the stockholders ratified the creation of the Company’s 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 Plan’s 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
7
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 over four or five years, with a maximum term of five to ten years.
We account for stock options and restricted stock issued under the plan in accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards (‘SFAS’) No. 123 (R), “Share Based Payments”. The fair value of each stock 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 is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for the entire award. The fair value of each restricted stock grant was based on the market price of the underlying common stock as of the date of grant. The resulting compensation cost is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

As of December 31, 2007, there was approximately $1,087,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options granted under the plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for any future changes in estimated and actual forfeitures.
Total stock option compensation expense of approximately $272,000 and $281,000 was recognized in the six month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

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, 2007 amounted to $3,785,616. This was a result of net income for the period adjusted for changes in operating assets and current liabilities, which arose primarily out of increases in other current assets, accrued liabilities, and accounts payable.
Capital expenditures for new equipment (including production tooling) were $363,302 for the six months ended December 31, 2007. Capital expenditures for fiscal year 2008 are expected to be approximately $2.6 million. The Company expects to generate sufficient funds through operations to fund these expenditures.
Stockholders’ investment decreased to $22,198,577 at December 31, 2007, from $23,929,624 at June 30, 2007. The net decrease reflects net income and exercise of stock options offset by the effect of the purchase and retirement of common stock and dividends declared.
The Company amended its existing credit facility in November 2007, extending the maturity date of the unsecured line of credit to November 1, 2008. 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 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, 2007 or June 30, 2007. The Company did not utilize the credit facility during the quarter or six months ended December 31, 2007.
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 has approved increases in the stock repurchase program. The most recent increase was for an additional $2,000,000 in October 2006, for a maximum of $45,500,000. 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 quarter ended December 31, 2007, the Company purchased 12,020 shares of its common stock at an average net price of $19.10 per share, for a total net purchase price of $229,582. For the six months ended December 31, 2007, the Company purchased 62,812 shares of its common stock at an average net price of $20.20 per share, for a total net purchase price of $1,268,786.
From the commencement of the Company’s stock repurchase program through December 31, 2007, the Company has purchased a total of 5,469,190 shares for a total gross purchase price of $52,710,627 (representing an average gross purchase price of $9.64 per share) and a total net purchase price of $41,886,884 (representing an average net purchase price of $7.66 per share). The difference between the total gross purchase price and the total net purchase price is the result of the Company receiving from employees cash acquired from 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 by the Company for all stock purchases, as authorized by the Board of Directors.
9
The Company also has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust (“ESOP”) pursuant to which shares of the Company’s common stock are purchased by the ESOP for allocation to the accounts of ESOP participants. There were no ESOP purchases of the Company’s common stock for the six months ended December 31, 2007.
Results of Operations
Net sales for the second quarter ended December 31, 2007 declined by 1% to $12,099,397 from $12,222,584 for the same period in 2006. Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2007 declined by 3% to $24,797,003 from $25,547,683 for the same period in 2006. The decrease was primarily due to a slow down in domestic mass market sales, a decline in sales to superstores and a slow down in the automotive industry this year which reduced demand for the Company’s rear seat entertainment products.
Gross profit as a percent of net sales was 36% for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 compared to 36% for the same period in the prior year. For the six months ended December 31, 2007 the gross profit percentage was 37% compared to 39% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2007 was primarily due to a less profitable model mix sold in that period and extra costs incurred related to engineering expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 were $2,371,276 or 20% of net sales, compared to $2,421,909 or 20% of net sales for the same period in 2006. For the six month period ended December 31, 2007, these expenses were $5,155,302 or 21% of net sales, compared to $5,354,710 or 21% of net sales, for the same period in 2006.

Income from operations for the six months ended December 31, 2007 was $3,961,053 compared to $4,651,399 for the same period in 2006, a 15% decrease. Income from operations decreased primarily as a result of decreased net sales for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2007.

Net income decreased primarily as a result of decreased net sales for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2007.
Royalty income for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 was $43,750 compared to $81,249 for the quarter ended December 31, 2006. For the six month period ended December 31, 2007, royalty income was $175,000 compared to $162,498 for the period ended December 31, 2006.

For the six month period ended December 31, 2007, interest income was $97,191, compared to $67,149 for the same period in the prior year.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Pronouncements
Effective July 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FASB Interpretation No. 48”). This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold and measurement attribute a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. As a result of the implementation of FASB Interpretation No. 48, the Company was not required to record any reduction in equity employed in the business at July 1, 2007 to recognize the cumulative effect of the adoption of this standard.
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 in the “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations,” above.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(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 Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-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 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 the Company’s 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 SEC’s rules and forms.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls. The Company’s 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 Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s 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.
