________________________________________________________________

 
HAUPPAUGE, NY - February 8, 2007 - 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 first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006.
 
FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
 
Net sales were $29.9 million for the first quarter compared to $25.0 million for the previous year’s first quarter, an increase of approximately 19%. Sales increases in North America and Europe were the primary drivers for the sales increase.
 
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $421,153 for the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to 2006. Increases in sales related marketing expenses such as commissions and advertising due to higher sales plus higher compensation expenses were the primary reasons for the increase.
 
 
The Company recorded net income of $2,202,735 for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to net income of $1,020,472 for the first quarter of fiscal 2006, an increase of approximately 116%. Basic net income per share for the first fiscal quarter of 2007 was $0.23 and diluted net income per share was $0.22, compared to basic net income per share of $0.11 and diluted net income per share of $0.10 for the first fiscal quarter of 2006.
 
DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
 
Ken Plotkin, Hauppauge’s Chief Executive Officer, stated “We are pleased with the record sales in this quarter, which is typically our seasonally best quarter of the year. The increase in sales was primarily driven by new products introduced during fiscal 2006, such as our WinTV-HVR-900 hybrid analog/digital TV receiver, the WinTV-NOVA-T digital “stick” and our quad format WinTV-HVR-4000 designed for the European market, plus our new WinTV-HVR-950 ATSC/NTSC “stick” and the WinTV-HVR-1600 dual format ATSC/NTSC TV receiver for North America. A larger proportion of higher margin products such as the WinTV-HVR-900 and WinTV-HVR-4000 contributed to the profitability increase in the quarter.
 

 
The Company believes that the gradual acceptance of upgrades to Microsoft’s new Vista operating system may impact our sales growth for the next few quarters. In addition, we expect that the next few quarters will see lower gross profit margins as our newer products, which contributed to our profitability increase in this quarter, become more main stream.”
