HAUPPAUGE, NY - August 11, 2005 - Hauppauge Digital, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAUP), a leading developer of digital video TV and data broadcast receiver products for personal computers, today reported financial results for the fiscal third quarter and nine month period ended June 30, 2005.
 
THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
 
Net sales were $19.4 million for the third quarter compared to $13.8 million for the previous year’s third quarter, an increase of approximately 40%. Increases in sales of our WinTV-PVR personal video recorder products, personal video recorder products for Windows XP Media Center sold to the OEM market and the introduction of dual digital and analog TV receiver products coupled with the increase in the Euro exchange rate were the primary reasons for the sales increase.
 
Net income for the third fiscal quarter was $159,972 compared to net income of $168,637 for the third quarter ended June 30, 2004. Basic and diluted net income per share was $0.02 for both the quarter ended June 20, 2005 and for the quarter ended June 30, 2004.
 
Gross profit percentage was 22.67% for the third quarter, compared with a gross profit percentage of 25.79% for the previous year’s third quarter. The growth of OEM product sales, which yield a lower gross profit than our retail products but do not require the sales, promotion and customer support required of our retail sales, was the primary driver for the gross profit decrease.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased by $654,662 for the quarter compared to the prior year’s third quarter. Selling expenses increased due to increased compensation and commission expenses related to sales volume, increases in sales promotions and the strengthening of the value of the Euro to the U.S. dollar, which increased sales expenses in our European operation. There was a decrease in General and Administrative expenses due to lower legal fees due to the completion during fiscal 2004 of certain arbitration and litigation suits and lower compensation expenses, partially offset by higher consulting fees related to Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance work. Spending for research and development increased $142,982 due to a higher volume of product development programs.
 
NINE MONTH RESULTS
 
Record net sales of $63.1 million were reported for the for the nine month period ended June 30, 2005 compared to $48.8 million for the previous year, an increase of approximately 29%. Increases in sales of our retail personal video recorder products, personal video recorder products for Windows XP Media Center sold to the OEM market, digital TV receiver products and the introduction of dual digital and analog TV receiver products coupled with the increase in the Euro exchange rate were the primary reasons for the sales increase.
 
Net income for the nine month period increased to $2,251,124 compared to net income of $1,705,887 for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. Basic net income per share was $0.24 and diluted net income per share was $0.23, compared to basic net income per share of $0.19 and diluted net income per share of $0.18 for the prior year’s nine month period.
 
Gross profit percentage was 23.02% for the nine months period compared to a gross profit percentage of 26.77% for the previous year. The growth of OEM product sales, which yield a lower gross profit than our retail products but do not require the sales, promotion and customer support required of our retail sales, was the primary driver for the gross profit decrease.
 
Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased by $1,064,149 in the for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 over last year’s nine month period. Selling expenses increased due to increased compensation and commission expenses related to sales volume, heavy investment in promotional programs and the strengthening of the value of the Euro to the U.S. dollar, which increased sales expenses in our European operation. There was a decrease in General and Administrative expenses due to lower legal fees due to the completion during fiscal 2004 of certain arbitration and litigation suits and lower compensation expenses mainly due to the resignation of the Company’s former President, offset by higher consulting fees related to Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance work and the costs of updating our transfer price study. Spending for research and development increased $477,285, mainly due to the addition of research and development personnel, the opening during fiscal 2004 of a research and development facility in Taiwan and increased development costs due to a higher volume of product development programs.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
 
Ken Plotkin, Hauppauge’s Chief Executive Officer stated “Strong OEM sales and increased North American retail sales in the WinTV-PVR personal video recorder segment of our business were the main forces driving the increase in our sales this quarter. We continue to see a healthy North American market, while our European operation continues to struggle with poor sales growth and lowered profitability.
 
“Our product development program has delivered three significant new products in the quarter, which we are very excited to see. We launched our first two models of our new WinTV-HVR series, designed to bridge the gap between the older analog TV standard used in Europe and the new digital TV being deployed. ”
 
Mr. Plotkin cautioned that the seasonal nature of our business coupled with weak European sales could have a dampening effect on our fourth fiscal quarter.
