FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


The Singing Machine Company Updates Outlook


Coconut Creek, FL, June 27, 2003 The Singing Machine Company (AMEX: SMD)

announced today that it will file with the SEC to extend, to July 14, the filing date for its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to allow sufficient time to resolve certain complex tax issues. Singing Machine expects that the income tax provision for fiscal 2003 will be higher than previously anticipated.


The company added that it expects to report an inventory reserve for fiscal 2003. Primarily as a result of these factors, the company said that net income for fiscal 2003 will be significantly below prior expectations.


Singing Machine has also decided to restate fiscal 2002 financial statements and possibly fiscal 2001 financial statements to increase the accrual for income taxes. This will have the effect of reducing net income for fiscal 2002 and possibly fiscal 2001. The company anticipates no changes in previously reported revenue, gross margin, or pre-tax income for fiscal 2002 or fiscal 2001.


Singing Machine said that it currently expects to report audited financial results for fiscal 2003 by July 14, 2003.
