NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A)    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders' equity for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, 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, 2021.

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 $1,031 and $1,477 was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  The federal income tax expense was zero for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

In the three months ended September 30, 2021, stock option exercises resulted in tax deductible compensation expense of approximately $7,800,000. The deduction of this stock option exercise compensation expense will cause a tax loss in the year ended June 30, 2022, which will be carried forward to future tax years. The expected tax loss carryforward, including the stock-based compensation expense deductions in the three months ended September 30, 2021, will be approximately $39,900,000. The additional estimated tax loss carryforward increased the deferred tax asset to approximately $12,100,000 as of September 30, 2021, and the future realization of this is uncertain. The valuation allowance was increased to fully offset the deferred tax asset.

C) OTHER INCOME

In July 2021, the Company entered into a license agreement with a headphone manufacturer (whereby the manufacturer licensed the use of certain patents in certain of their headphones). The one-time license fee of $100,000 has been treated as other income and shown as a separate line on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. There was a related payment of $100,000 to a third party that was charged to legal expense in the quarter.

‎

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”). 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. On January 28, 2021, the Credit Agreement was amended to extend the expiration to October 31, 2022, and to change the interest rate to Wall Street Journal Prime less 1.50%. 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. As of September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2021, and June 30, 2021, there were no outstanding borrowings on the facility. 

On April 13, 2020, the Company received an unsecured loan (the "SBA Loan") for $506,700 under the Small Business Administration ("SBA") Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) of the CARES Act through Town Bank. On November 3, 2020, the Company was notified that the full principal amount of $506,700 had been forgiven and was recorded as other income in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.

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 $153,221 and $111,030 in the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, for performance obligations related to consumer and customer warranties.  The deferred revenue liability was $593,920 as of June 30, 2020. The Company estimates that the deferred revenue performance obligations are satisfied within one year to three years and therefore uses that same time frame for recognition of the deferred revenue.

‎

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

Basic (loss) income per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted (loss) 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 (loss) income per share:

(1) Excludes approximately 1,500,528 and 2,750,176 weighted average stock options for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as the impact of such awards was anti-dilutive.

6.    RELATED PARTY LEASE

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.    ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE CONCENTRATIONS

As of September 30, 2021 the Company’s top three accounts receivable customers represented approximately 28%, 18%, and 13% of trade accounts receivables. These same customers represented approximately 19%, 0%, and 24% of trade accounts receivable at June 30, 2021.

8.    LEGAL MATTERS

As of September 30, 2021, the Company is involved in the 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 will 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.

 Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

The Company developed stereo headphones in 1958 and has been recognized as a leader in the industry ever since. Koss markets a complete line of high-fidelity headphones, wireless Bluetooth® headphones, wireless Bluetooth® speakers, computer headsets, telecommunications headsets, and active noise canceling headphones. The Company operates as one business segment, as its principal business line is the design, manufacture and sale of stereo headphones and related accessories.

Financial Results

The following table presents selected financial data for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

‎

Quarter Ended September 30, 2021 Results Compared with September 30, 2020

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, net sales decreased 16.2%. The approximately $843,000 decrease in net sales was driven by declines in the domestic markets that were partially offset by strength in European markets.

Net sales in the domestic market were approximately $2,788,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to approximately $3,939,000 in the prior year period. Net sales to certain distrbutors were negatively impacted in the quarter ended September 30, 2021 due to timing of shipments and inventory levels at those distributors causing them to decrease orders. Product shipments have been negatively impacted due to delays in U.S. ports. The Company made the final shipment of a non Koss branded product to a mass retailer in the US during the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The loss of net sales for this product was approximately $727,000 at lower than normal margins.

Export net sales increased to approximately $1,578,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to approximately $1,269,000 for the same period last year. Sales to distributors in Europe were the primary drivers for the increase. A significant portion of the increase was related to new products, introduced in the last year, as well as increased sales of headphones used for working and studying remotely. The sell through for certain of the new products has steadily increased since their introduction.

Gross profit increased to 36.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 31.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2020.  Sales in the current year reflect a more favorable mix by markets and products. The higher gross profit in the current year was partially due to lost placement at a U.S. based mass retailer, which was low margin business. 

Late in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, the Company began experiencing increased delays in product shipments from suppliers in Asia. The disruption at the ports on the U.S. west coast, as well as congestion in domestic railyards, has caused delays and significantly increased inbound shipping costs. The higher shipping costs will negatively impact margins in the forseeable future. The Company is implementing various pans to mitigate the negative impacts of these higher costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased 18.3% or approximately $275,000 to approximately $1,781,000.  The primary factor was employer taxes on stock option exercises of approximately $121,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2021. There was also approximately $100,000 of expense related to a license agreement entered into in July 2021 as well as increased deferred compensation expenses.

Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021, 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 effective tax rate was less than 1% in the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. 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 federal net operating loss carryforwards that existed as of June 30, 2021, plus the additional federal net operating loss carryforward generated by the deductible compensation expense on stock option exercises in the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

In the three months ended September 30, 2021, stock option exercises resulted in tax deductible compensation expense of approximately $7,800,000. The deduction of this stock option exercise compensation expense will cause a tax loss in the year ended June 30, 2022, which will be carried forward to future tax years. The expected federal tax loss carryforward, including the stock-based compensation expense deductions in the three months ended September 30, 2021, will be approximately $39,900,000. The additional estimated tax loss carryforward increased the deferred tax asset to approximately $12,100,000 as of September 30, 2021, and the future realization of this is uncertain. The valuation allowance was increased to fully offset the deferred tax asset.

As previously reported, the Company launched a program focused on enforcing its intellectual property and, in particular, certain of its patent portfolio. The Company has enforced its intellectual property by filing complaints against certain parties alleging infringement on the Company’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 event that a monetary award or judgment is received by the Company in connection with these complaints, all or portions of such amounts will be due to third parties.

The Company believes that its financial position remains strong. The Company had $7.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and available credit facilities of $5.0 million at September 30, 2021. 

‎

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 continuously updated and executed to maintain supply of the Company’s products to our customers throughout the world.

The Company continued to see strong demand in the quarter ended September 30, 2021 for specific communication headphones as people continued to work from home and studied online due to COVID-19 related directives.  However, certain retail businesses throughout the Company’s markets, particularly in certain European markets, have seen continued disruption.  The Company expects the negative sales impacts caused by this disruption to continue until markets re-open and consumer spending returns to normal. 

The ultimate magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the extent of its impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time due to the rapid development and fluidity of the situation. The Company's future results will be determined by the effectiveness of the vaccines, rollout of vaccine boosters, the duration of the pandemic, impact of variants, its geographic spread, further business disruptions and the overall impact on the economy throughout the globe.

The Company’s supply chain is primarily in southern China.  Over past twelve months, the Company has experienced issues related to the availability of containers and routing to move products in a cost effective and time efficient manner. There have also been impacts to the movement of new product introductions and costs. The Company is monitoring the situation closely and the supply chain team has modified business plans, which include, but are not limited to: (1) increasing the investment in inventory; (2) being alert to potential short supply situations; (3) assisting suppliers with acquisition of critical components; and (4) 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, holding certain events virtually 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 financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

Operating Activities

The investment in inventories was the driving factor for the increase in cash used by operating activities during the three months ended September 30, 2021.  The Company has increased investment in inventory to ensure availability of communication headphones and to provide better inventory positions on key products to mitigate the impacts of supply chain disruptions. The impact of the investment in inventory was partially offset by increased accounts payable related to the inventory investment.

‎

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was lower for the three months ended September 30, 2021. In the prior year, the Company had increased expenditures for a new operating system and leasehold improvements. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, the Company anticipates it will incur total expenditures for tooling, leasehold improvements and capital expenditures of approximately $600,000.  The Company expects to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or from the use of its available cash and its credit facility to fund these expenditures.

Financing Activities

In the three months ended September 30, 2021, an aggregate of 529,089 shares of common stock were issued as a result of employee stock option exercises under the Company’s 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The cash provided from these stock option exercises was approximately $1.4 million. No stock options were exercised in the three months ended September 30, 2020.

As of September 30, 2021, 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, 2021 or 2020 under the stock repurchase program. 

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 following the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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

On May 14, 2019, the Company entered into a secured credit facility ("Credit Agreement") with Town Bank (“Lender”). 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. On January 28, 2021, the Credit Agreement was amended to extend the expiration to October 31, 2022, and to change the interest rate to Wall Street Journal Prime less 1.50%. 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, 2021, and June 30, 2021, there were no outstanding borrowings on the facility. 

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.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

At September 30, 2021, the Company did not have any transactions, obligations or relationships that could be considered off-balance sheet arrangements.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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”) are designed to ensure that: (1) information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms; and (2)  such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.  There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls and procedures.  Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
