Koss Earnings Fall as Net Sales Drop 13%

Milwaukee, Wisconsin:  Koss Corporation (NASDAQ SYMBOL: KOSS), the U.S. based high-fidelity stereo headphone company, has announced results for the first quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Sales for the first quarter were $8,754,785 compared to $10,032,134 for the same period one year ago, a 13% reduction.  Net income was $280,597, compared to net income of $562,859 for the first quarter last year.  Diluted income per share was $0.04 compared with $0.08 per share one year ago.

“Sales to U.S. retailers continued to be slow along with softness in certain export markets,” Michael J. Koss, President and CEO, told employees here today.  “July and August were particularly slow with some signs of growth in the month of September.  Our markets are mirroring the economic malaise seen in the general economy both here and in Europe.”

Koss went on to explain that the Company was continuing to invest in new products and technology that are scheduled to be released during this fiscal year.  “We are committed to a new product road map and a series of ongoing promotional initiatives despite the first quarter downturn,” Koss said.

“Our new website is just one example of the promotional activities we have been investing in during the last quarter, and our addition of a social media hub to this new site will serve as a centerpiece to our future activities,” Koss noted.

The Company will pay a dividend of $0.06 cents per share on January 16, 2012, to shareholders of record on December 31, 2011.

Koss Corporation markets a complete line of high-fidelity stereophones, speaker-phones, computer headsets, telecommunications headsets, active noise canceling stereophones, wireless stereophones, and compact disc recordings of American Symphony Orchestras on the Koss Classics label.
