Increases in sales of our personal video recorder products in addition to the sales increase of retail TV tuners for laptop computers coupled with the increase in the Euro exchange rate were the primary forces responsible for the sales increase. Gross profit percentage increased to 25.79% for the third quarter, compared with a gross profit percentage of 22.52% for the previous year's third quarter. Product cost reductions, a favorable sales mix of higher gross margin products and the increase in the Euro exchange rate were mainly responsible for the increases. Selling, General and Administrative costs increased by $289,887. The strengthening of the value of the Euro to the U.S. dollar was responsible for $69,628 of the increase, while increases in sales related promotional expenses and marketing programs plus higher costs attributable to professional services contributed to the remaining increase in SGA expenses. Spending for research and development increased $24,759, mainly due to the addition of research and development personnel. Net income for the third fiscal quarter increased to $168,637 as compared to a net loss of $855,465 for the third quarter ended June 30, 2003. Net income per share was $0.02 on a basic and diluted basis compared to net a loss per share of $0.10 on a basic and diluted basis for the prior year's third quarter. NINE MONTH RESULTS -------------------- Net sales were $48.8 million for the nine month period ended June 30, 2004 compared to $39.4 million for the previous year, an increase of approximately 24%. Increases in the sales of our personal video recorder products, European digital TV receiver products, TV tuners for laptop computers, the introduction of the MediaMVP plus the increase in the Euro exchange rate were primary forces responsible for the sales increases. Gross profit percentage increased to 26.77% for the nine month period, compared with a gross profit percentage of 24.19% for the previous year. Product cost reductions, a favorable sales mix of higher gross margin products and the increase in the Euro exchange rate were mainly responsible for the increases. Selling, General and Administrative costs increased by $1,203,498. The strengthening of the value of the Euro to the U.S. dollar was responsible for $471,462 of the increase, while increases in sales related promotional expenses and marketing programs plus increased legal costs and fees attributable to professional services contributed to the remaining increase in SGA expenses. Spending for research and development decreased $61,901, mainly due to lower contracted third party software development costs and lower compensation costs. Net income for the nine month period increased to $1,705,887 compared to $61,522 for the same period in the prior year. Basic net income per share was $0.19 and diluted net income per share was $0.18, compared to net income per share of $0.01 on a basic and diluted basis for the prior year. The nine month results include $633,250 in arbitration and litigation charges, which reduced net income by $0.07 per share on a diluted basis. DISCUSSION OF RESULTS --------------------- Ken Plotkin, Hauppauge's Chief Executive Offices stated "Although we began to see signs of our seasonal slowdown towards the end of our third quarter, the combination of sales growth in our target product lines, higher margin sales mix, manufacturing unit cost reductions and a favorable Euro to US dollar exchange rate helped spur the sales and profit increase over the third fiscal quarter of last year. Also, during the quarter we ramped up our research and development resources, establishing a new research and development facility off-shore, and we are forging ahead with new and updated product lines that we plan to introduce during latter part of our fourth quarter and the first fiscal quarter of 2005."
