Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim period reporting in conjunction with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all known adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and reserves) necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the interim periods have been included. It is suggested that these interim statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s September 30, 2005 Form 10-K.

The operating results for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the September 30, 2006 year end.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current presentation.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Note 3. Derivative Financial Instruments

As of March 31, 2006, the Company had foreign currency contracts outstanding of approximately $2,911,400 against the delivery of the Euro. The contracts expire from April 2006 through June 2006. The Company’s accounting policies for these instruments designate such instruments as cash flow hedging transactions. The Company does not enter into such contracts for speculative purposes. The Company records all derivative gains and losses on the balance sheet as a component of stockholders’ equity under the caption “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)”. The Company recorded a loss of $143,666 for the six months ended March 31, 2006 on its statement of other comprehensive income. As of March 31, 2006, a deferred loss of $7,248, reflecting the cumulative mark to market losses of the Company’s derivatives, was recorded on the Company’s balance sheet as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in our equity section.

The Company uses the average monthly forward contract exchange rate to translate our Euro denominated sales into the Company’s U.S. dollar reporting currency. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2006, the use of the monthly average spot rate instead of the average monthly forward contract exchange rate to value Euro denominated sales would have resulted in a decrease in sales of $219,496 and $848,735, respectively. These sales increases are related to contracts that closed during these periods and the changes in the fair value of our derivative contracts. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2005, the use of the monthly average spot rate instead of the average monthly forward contract exchange rate to value Euro denominated sales would have resulted in an increase of sales of $337,699 and $978,484, respectively.

Note 4. Inventories

Inventories have been valued at the lower of average cost or market on a first in first out basis. The components of inventory consist of:

Note 5. Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects, in the periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the dilution which would occur upon the exercise of stock options. A reconciliation of the shares used in calculating basic and diluted net income per share is as follows:

Options to purchase 218,173 and 91,878 shares of common stock, at prices ranging $3.19 to $ 8.75 and $5.25 to $10.06, were outstanding for the six months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.

As of March 31, 2006, appearing in the equity section under “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” was a loss of $379,818, which consisted of a deferred translation loss of $372,570 and a deferred loss of $7,248 due to the mark to market losses on the difference between the value of the Company’s open forward exchange contracts at the contract rates versus the same contracts valued at the period ending forward rate.

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of two components: translation gains and losses and FAS 133 mark to market gains and losses on our open foreign exchange contracts. The table below details the gains and losses that make up the accumulated other comprehensive loss of $379,818 recorded on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2006:

Note 7. Revenue Recognition

The Company sells through a sales channel which consist of retailers, distributors and original equipment manufacturers (OEM’s). The Company’s prices are fixed consistently over the entire sales channel. The majority of the Company’s customers are granted lines of credit. The product is shipped on open account with the majority of the Company’s customers given 30 to 45 day payment terms. Those customers deemed as large credit risks either pay in advance or issue us a letter of credit.

The Company requires the customer to submit a purchase order to the Company. The price of the product and payment terms are fixed per the terms of the purchase order. Upon shipment of the order to the customer, the title to the goods is passed to the customer. The customer is legally obligated to pay for the order within the payment terms stated on the customer’s purchase order. The obligation to insure the products and the cost of any pilferage while in the customer’s possession is the responsibility of the customer. The Company sells analog, hybrid video recorders and digital computer boards that are stocked on the shelves of retailers, and are subject to the normal consumer traffic that retail stores attract. Aside from normal store promotions such as end-caps and advertisements in the store’s circular, the Company has no further obligation to assist in the resale of the product.

The Company offers its customers a right of return, but does not offer stock balancing. The Company’s accounting method complies with SFAS 48 as typically at the end of every quarter the Company, based on historical data, evaluates its sales reserve level based on the previous six months sales. Due to seasonal nature of the business coupled with the changing economic environment, management exercises some judgment with regard to the historical data to arrive at the reserve.

Note 8. Product segment and Geographic Information

The Company operates in one business segment, which is the development, marketing and manufacturing of analog and digital TV receiver products for the personal computer market. The products are similar in function and share commonality of component parts and manufacturing processes. The Company offers three primary types of analog products and four types of digital TV receivers. The Company’s products are either sold, or can be sold, by the same retailers and distributors in our marketing channel. The Company also sells product directly to OEM customers. The Company evaluates its product lines under the functional categories of analog and digital products. Sales by functional category are as follows:

Note 9. Stock-Based Compensation

Prior to October 1, 2005, the Company accounted for employee stock option plans based on the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations and had adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS No.123). Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options was measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company’s stock at the grant date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The Company granted stock options with exercise prices equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, therefore, the Company did not record stock-based compensation expense under APB Opinion No. 25.

Effective October 1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payments” using the modified prospective method, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. Therefore, prior period financial statements have not been restated. The fair value of stock options were determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which is consistent with our valuation techniques previously utilized for stock options in footnote disclosures required under SFAS No. 123. Such fair value is recognized as expense over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures. The adoption of SFAS No.123R resulted in an immaterial cumulative change in accounting as of the date of adoption.

Note 9. Stock-Based Compensation-continued

The Company had as of March 31, 2006 options issued from four incentive option plans and one non qualified option plan. These options typically vest over a period of four to five years. Options granted subsequent to the Company’s October 1, 2005 adoption of SFAS 123R, have a contract term of 10 years and the fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions based on historical data of the Company’s stock:

 

 

 

 

Risk free interest rate-4.25%

 

 

Expected volatility-50%

 

 

Expected dividend yield-0%

 

 

Weighted average expected life-5 to7 years, determined via the “simplified” method detailed in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107

For the non vested options outstanding that were granted prior to the Company’s October 1, 2005 adoption of SFAS 123R, the fair value for these options was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of grant. Options granted prior to October 1, 2005 were accounted for based on the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “ Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations.

Unrecognized stock compensation charges, weighted average stock compensation amortization and stock compensation expenses charged to operations for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2006 are as follows:

 

 

 

 

$1,038,849 of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements and options granted subsequent to the October 1, 2005 adoption of SFAS 123R, was outstanding prior to the recognition of $187,824 of compensation charges in the six months ended March 31, 2006.

 

 

Compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.75 years

 

 

Compensation costs charged to operations for the second quarter ended March 31, 2006 was $86,946, consisting of $20,945 for options granted during fiscal 2006 and $66,001 for non vested options granted prior to October 1, 2005 and has been recorded in SG&A and R&D expense. Expensing stock compensation costs against operations resulted in a $0.01 reduction in basic and diluted net income per share for the quarter

 

 

Compensation costs charged to operations for the six months ended March 31, 2006 was $187,824, consisting of $41,890 for options granted during fiscal 2006 and $145,934 for non vested options granted prior to October 1, 2005 and has been recorded in SG&A and R&D expense. Expensing stock compensation costs against operations resulted in a $0.02 reduction in basic and diluted net income per share for the six months ended March 31, 2006

In recognition that stock compensation is a non cash expense, the effect of expensing options had no affect on the Company’s cash flow. However, it was reflected in the Company’s cash flow statement as a non-cash add back in the determination of cash flows from operating activities.

A summary of our non-vested shares as of March 31, 2006 and changes during the six months ended March 31, 2006 is presented below:

Note 10. Arrangements with Off-Balance Sheet Risk - Guarantees

The Company occupies a facility located in Hauppauge New York which is used for its executive offices and for the testing, storage and shipping of the Company’s products. The Company leases this facility from a real estate partnership which is principally owned by Kenneth Plotkin, the Company’s Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Operating Officer and Vice President of Marketing and the holder of approximately 8.8% of the Company’s Common Stock as of March 31, 2006, Dorothy Plotkin, the wife of Kenneth Plotkin, holder of approximately 5.9% of the Company’s Common Stock as of March 31, 2006, and Laura Aupperle, believed by the Company to be the holder of approximately 10.5% of the Company’s Common Stock, including Common Stock attributed to the Estate of Kenneth R. Aupperle.

Note 10. Arrangements with Off-Balance Sheet Risk – Guarantees-continued

On February 17, 2004, HCW and Ladokk terminated the 1990 Lease and HCW entered into a new lease agreement with Ladokk Realty Co., LLC (the “2004 Lease”). The 2004 Lease is for five years and terminates on February 16, 2009. Annual rent under the 2004 Lease is $360,000, payable monthly. Concurrently with the new lease, Ladokk completed a refinancing of its mortgages, and the new lender did not require HCW to sign a guarantee. Accordingly, the Company no longer guarantees the landlord’s mortgages. The 2004 Lease replaced a 1990 Lease which was due to expire on January 31, 2006. The execution of the 2004 Lease provided an annual reduction in rent of nearly $100,000 and released the Company from its guarantee of the mortgages of the landlord. 

The Audit Committee, under applicable laws, rules and regulations, is required to review and approve the 2004 Lease because the landlord is affiliated with (although not under the exclusive control of) the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Shortly following the execution and delivery of the 2004 Lease, the Audit Committee engaged the services of an independent law firm and an independent real estate appraiser to ascertain if the 2004 Lease was within the current market range in our geographic area for the building the Company occupies.

The real estate appraiser determined that the rent provided in the 2004 Lease was somewhat above market value without giving effect to, among other things, the costs and potential disruption of the Company’s operations that would be associated with any move to a new facility. The Company and the landlord are negotiating the terms of a new lease to replace the 2004 lease. Although there can be no assurances, the Company’s expectation is that the 2004 Lease will be replaced with such new lease before the end of our fiscal third quarter.

For four out of the last five fiscal years, our domestic operation has incurred losses. With the close of our fiscal first quarter of 2006, we analyzed the future realization of our deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2006, and although our domestic operation reported a profit for the three months ended March 31, 2006, due to the seasonal nature of the business it is uncertain at this time whether our domestic operation will have a profit for the full year. In light of this, we did not make any adjustments to our valuation allowance for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

As a result of all of the above items mentioned in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, we recorded net income of $957,878, for the three months ended March 31, 2006, which resulted in basic and diluted net income per share of $0.10 on weighted average basic and diluted shares of 9,576,522 and 10,057,585, respectively, compared to a net income of $827,465 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, which resulted in basic net income per share of $0.09 and diluted net income per share of $0.08 on weighted average basic and diluted shares of 9,460,702 and 10,101,170, respectively.

to market loss on the difference between the value of the Company’s open forward exchange contracts at the contract rates versus the same contracts valued at the period ending forward rate.

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of two components translation gains and losses and FAS 133 mark to market gains and losses on our open foreign exchange contracts.

For four out of the last five fiscal years, our domestic operation has incurred losses. With the close of our fiscal first quarter of 2006, we analyzed the future realization of our deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2006, and although our domestic operation reported a profit for the six months ended March 31, 2006, due to the seasonal nature of the business it is uncertain at this time whether our domestic operation will have a profit for the full year. In light of this, we did not make any adjustments to our valuation allowance for the six months ended March 31, 2006.

As a result of all of the above items mentioned in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, we recorded net income of $1,978,352, for the six months ended March 31, 2006, which resulted in basic net income per share of $0.21 and diluted net income per share of $0.20 on weighted average basic and diluted shares of 9,541,935 and 9,989,699, respectively, compared to a net income of $2,091,155 for the six months ended March 31, 2005, which resulted in basic net income per share of $0.22 and diluted net income per share of $0.21 on weighted average basic and diluted shares of 9,368,428 and 9,999,405, respectively.

Seasonality

As our sales are primarily to the consumer market, we have experienced certain seasonal revenue trends. Our peak sales quarter, due to holiday season sales of computer equipment, is our first fiscal quarter (October to December), followed by

28


our fourth fiscal quarter (July to September). In addition, our international sales, mostly in the European, market, were 54%, 66% and 68 % of sales for the years ended September 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Our fiscal fourth quarter sales (July to September) can be potentially impacted by the reduction of activity experienced in Europe during the July and August summer holiday period.

To offset the above cycles, we target a wide range of customer types in order to moderate the seasonal nature of our retail sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash, working capital and stockholders’ equity position as of March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2005 is set forth below:

We had cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2006 of $4,555,518, a decrease of $3,111,875 from September 30, 2005.

The decrease in cash was due to:

2,255,074

 

Increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses

Net cash decrease

(3,111 875

Net cash of $2,146,925 used in operating activities was primarily due to a increases in accounts receivable and inventory of $14,813,398 and $2,946,148, respectively, required to fund the 49% increase in sales between the last six months of fiscal 2005 and the first six months of fiscal 2006 in addition to increases in prepaid expenses and other current assets of

29


$50,749. These uses of cash were offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $13,408,296, primarily used to finance the growth in accounts receivable and inventory to fund the increase in sales. Net income adjusted for non cash items of $2,255,074 provided another source of cash.

Cash of $107,670 was used to purchase fixed assets. Proceeds from the stock purchased by employees through the exercise of options and the employee stock purchase plan provided cash of $205,308 and the effect of exchange rate changes used cash of $1,062,588.

On November 8, 1996, we approved a stock repurchase program. The program, as amended, authorizes us to repurchase up to 850,000 shares of our own stock. We intend to use the repurchased shares for certain employee benefit programs. On December 17, 1997, the stock repurchase program was extended by a resolution of our Board of Directors. As of March 31, 2006, we held 607,547 treasury shares purchased for $1,757,951 at an average purchase price of approximately $2.89 per share.

Line of Credit

On December 1, 2005, Hauppauge Computer Works, Inc. (“HCW”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hauppauge Digital, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a $3,000,000 line of credit borrowing facility with the JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”). The line of credit is subject to renewal on March 31, 2006. On March 17, 2006, the bank renewed our line of credit through March 31, 2007. The Company, at its option, may borrow money at the Prime Rate minus one percent (1.0%) or the adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus one and 85/100 percent (1.85%). In accordance with the terms of the line, the Company has entered into a Guaranty with the Bank and has entered into a Share Pledge Agreement among the Company, the Bank and Hauppauge Digital Europe S.àr.l., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Pursuant to the Guaranty, the Company guarantees to the Bank the payment of all liabilities of HCW to the Bank, secured by a continuing lien and right of set-off for the amount of the liabilities of HCW to the Bank upon any and all monies, securities, property, deposits and credits of the Company with the Bank, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. or any other affiliate of the Bank.

Pursuant to the Share Pledge Agreement, the Company granted a first priority right of pledge on approximately two-thirds of the outstanding capital shares of Hauppauge Digital Europe in favor of the Bank as security for the payment under the Note or the Share Pledge Agreement.

There were no borrowings outstanding as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

30


We believe that our cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2006, our internally generated cash flow and the line of credit we entered into on December 1, 2005 will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our currently foreseeable short-term and long-term capital needs.

Inflation

While inflation has not had a material effect on our operations in the past, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to offset the effects of inflation on the costs of our products or services through price increases to our customers without experiencing a reduction in the demand for our products; or that inflation will not have an overall effect on the computer equipment market that would have a material affect on us.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Sales for the Company’s European subsidiary are primarily invoiced and collected in Euros. On the supply side the Company predominantly deals with North American and Asian suppliers and contract manufacturers. Due to this, a large percentage of the inventory required to support the Company’s European sales are purchased and paid in U.S. Dollars.
The combination of sales billed in Euros supported by inventory purchased in U.S. dollars results in an absence of a natural local currency hedge, subjecting the Company to market risks resulting from the fluctuations in the Euro to U.S. Dollar exchange rates. The Company attempts to reduce the risks by entering into foreign exchange forward contracts with financial institutions. The purpose of these forward contracts is to hedge the foreign currency market exposures underlying the Company’s U.S. Dollar denominated inventory purchases.

As of March 31, 2006, the Company had foreign currency contracts outstanding of approximately $2,911,400 against the delivery of the Euro. The contracts expire from April 2006 through June 2006. The Company’s accounting policies for these instruments designate such instruments as cash flow hedging transactions. The Company does not enter into such contracts for speculative purposes. The Company records all derivative gains and losses on the balance sheet as a component of stockholders’ equity under the caption “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)”. The Company recorded a loss of $143,666 for the six months ended March 31, 2006 on its statement of other comprehensive income. As of March 31, 2006, a deferred loss of $7,248 reflecting the cumulative mark to market losses of the Company’s derivatives, was recorded on the Company’s balance sheet as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in our equity section.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2006 in alerting them in a timely manner to material information required to be included in our SEC reports. In addition, no change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On November 8, 1996, we approved a stock repurchase program. The program authorizes us to repurchase up to 850,000 shares of our own stock. The stock repurchase program was extended by a resolution of our Board of Directors on December 17, 1997.

The Company did not repurchase any of its common stock our stock repurchase program during the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
