SPATIALIZER AUDIO LABORATORIES, INC. REPORTS PROFITABLE FIRST QUARTER 2005 OPERATING RESULTS

Year Over Year Revenues Increase 94%

     San Jose, Calif., May 12, 2005- Spatializer Audio Laboratories, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SPAZ) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2005.

     Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2005 increased to $332,000, compared to revenues of $171,000 in the comparable period last year, an increase of 94%.

     Net income was $10,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005; $0.00 basic and diluted per share, compared to net loss of ($124,000), ($0.00) per share basic, for the quarter ended March 31, 2004.

     At March 31, 2005, the Company had $874,000 in cash and cash equivalents as compared to $871,000 at December 31, 2004. Working capital was $626,000 at March 31, 2005 as compared with working capital of $603,000 at December 31, 2004.

     Revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2005 were higher due to continued recognition of prepaid royalties (25% of prepayment) from a major customer, for which there was no such comparable customer last year. In addition, a loss of a DVD OEM account, which comprised 44% of first quarter 2004 revenues, was replaced by revenue from another DVD OEM and two PC accounts for which there was no comparable revenue in the first quarter of 2004. As such, approximately 67% of the revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 2005 were derived from new licensing agreements with new customers entered into subsequent to March 31, 2004.

     Henry R. Mandell, chairman and chief executive officer stated, “We are pleased to have nearly doubled our revenue from the same period last year, especially when one considers that we have been transitioning our business from our traditional revenue sources in the DVD player platform into new sources of income in the PC and mobile communications segments. Our continued profitability is also noteworthy in this environment.”

 


 

     Mandell continued, “We have directed our efforts toward the wireless communications segment, where we can offer a stronger value proposition for our technology. We have expanded both our Asia Pacific distribution capability into southeast Asia, China and Taiwan. We have made strong inroads toward building network effects through alliances with multimedia solutions suppliers, both in hardware and software, to make our solutions more easily adoptable by OEMs. Our Asia Development Center in India gives us the engineering throughput to rapidly complete these implementations. With the release of our latest solution, Spatializer((environ)) 3GTM, which was developed specifically to meet the audio needs of the mobile phone market, we believe we have a compelling solution to meet the challenges of this market.”
