NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
Note 1. Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for Hauppauge Digital Inc. (the “Company”) 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, 2006 Form 10-K.

The operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the September 30, 2007 year end.

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

Note 3. Foreign currency translations and transactions
The Company’s Asian subsidiary reports its financial position and results of operations in the reporting currency of the Company.

The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s European subsidiaries are determined using Euros as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the exchange rate in effect at each period end. Income statement accounts are translated at the prevailing average spot rate. For periods prior to April 2006, the Company translated sales amounts at the average forward exchange contract rate. The change in this accounting treatment was immaterial to the Company’s current and prior financial statements. Translation adjustments arising from the translation to U.S. dollars at differing exchange rates are included in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) account in stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from transactions that are denominated in currencies other than Euros are included in earnings as a component of other income. The Company had a translation loss of $531,289 recorded on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2006. For the three months ended December 31, 2006, the Company recorded on the balance sheet deferred translation gains of $56,265, resulting in a translation loss of $475,024 recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2006.

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:

 
   
Three months ended December 31
 
 
   
2006
   
2005
 
Weighted average shares outstanding-basic 
   
9,678,869
   
9,508,100
 
Number of shares issued on the assumed exercise of stock options
   
555,762
   
507,157
 
Weighted average shares outstanding-diluted
   
10,234,631
   
10,015,257
 

Options to purchase 10,172 and 92,876 shares of common stock, at a price of $8.75 and ranging from $3.88 to $8.75, were outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.
 
Note 6. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
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. As of December 31, 2006, appearing in the equity section under “ Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” reflected a loss of $537,751, which consisted of a deferred translation loss of $475,024 and a deferred loss of $62,727 due to the mark to market differences 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.

The table below details the gains and losses that make up the accumulated other comprehensive loss of $537,751 recorded on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2006:

Note 7. Revenue recognition
The Company sells through a sales channel which consist of retailers, PC manufacturers and distributors. The majority of our customers are granted lines of credit. The product is shipped on account with the majority of customers primarily given 30 to 60 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 boards 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 or 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 advertisements in the store’s circular, the Company has no further obligation to assist in the resale of the products.
     
The Company offers some of its customers a right of return. The Company’s accounting complies with SFAS 48 Revenue Recognition when Right of Return Exists, 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.

The Company offers mail-in rebates on certain products at certain times as determined by the Company. The rebates are recorded as a reduction to sales. The Company also participates in limited cooperative advertising  programs with retailers and distributors and accounts for these in accordance with EITF 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products)”.
 
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’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 PC manufacturers. The Company evaluates its product lines under the functional categories of analog TV receivers, digital TV receivers and other non-TV tuner products.

 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.

12




HAUPPAUGE DIGITAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

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 no cumulative change in accounting as of the date of adoption.
 
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.

(“HCW’), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hauppauge Digital Inc., leases this facility from Ladokk Realty, LLC (“Ladokk”), the members of which are Kenneth Plotkin, the Company’s Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Operating Officer and Vice President of Marketing, Director and the holder of approximately 8.1% of the Company’s Common Stock as of December 31, 2006, Dorothy Plotkin, the wife of Kenneth Plotkin and holder of approximately 5.8% of the Company’s Common Stock as of December 31, 2006, and Laura Aupperle, believed by the Company to be the holder of approximately 9.5% of the Company’s Common Stock, including Common Stock attributed to the Estate of Kenneth R. Aupperle.

On February 17, 2004, HCW and Ladokk terminated the 1990 Lease and HCW entered into a new lease agreement with Ladokk (the “2004 Lease”). The 2004 Lease term was for five years and terminated on February 16, 2009. The annual rent under the 2004 Lease was $360,000, payable monthly. The Company was also obligated to pay real estate taxes and operating costs of maintaining the premises subject to such lease. Concurrently with the new lease, Ladokk completed a refinancing of its mortgages, and the new lender did not require us to sign a guarantee. Accordingly, we no longer guarantee the landlord’s mortgages.

On October 17, 2006, HCW executed an amendment to the 2004 Lease with Ladokk for the premises (the “Lease Amendment”). The Lease Amendment commenced as of September 1, 2006 and ends on August 31, 2011. The base rent under the Lease Amendment for the first year of the term is $300,000, payable monthly in the amount of $25,000. Rent is subject to an annual increase of 3% over the term. The execution of the Lease Amendment was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors , following the recommendation of the Company’s Audit Committee.

The Lease Amendment provides for the payment of rent arrearages in the aggregate amount of $168,667 (the “Arrearage”) to be paid in the amount of $5,000 per month tendered with rent until the Arrearage is paid in full. Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2004 Lease, HCW is obligated to pay for utilities, repairs to the building, and taxes during the term.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

The Lease Amendment provides that HCW has the option to renew the current lease term for an additional 5 year term after the expiration of the current lease term upon written notice given to Ladokk between six and twelve months prior to expiration of the current lease. Rent due during the first year of the renewal term is to be equal to the market rate at the end of the current lease, but not less than rent paid during the last year of the current lease, and is subject to rent increases for the second through fifth years of the renewal term by CPI plus 1% per annum.

Net sales to domestic customers were 42% and 41% of net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Net sales to European customers were 56% of net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Net sales to Asian customers were 2% and 3% of net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We experienced an increase in unit sales of about 36% while the dynamics of new production and changes in sales mix lowered the average sales price by about 12%.

The increase in the gross profit percent of 1.90 % for the three months ended December 31, 2006 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2005 was primarily due to:
 
·
A higher sales percentage of higher gross profit margin products contributed to a 1.65% increase in gross profit
 
 
·
Production and shipping costs declined as a percentage of sales which contributed to a 0.25% increase in gross profit percent. The increase in net sales was about 19% while the increase in production costs was about 16%

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $421,153 from the prior year. As a percentage of sales, Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 0.78% when compared to the three months ended December 31, 2005. The increase in sales and marketing expense of $350,650 was mainly due to higher sales based expenses such as commission, cooperative advertising and promotional expenses. The increase in technical support expenses of $4,326 was primarily due to compensation related costs. The increase in general and administrative expenses of $66,165 was primarily due to compensation increases for additional managerial and support staff and incentive related expenses.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses decreased $40,556. The decrease was mainly due decreased third party development costs offset somewhat by an increase in stock compensation expense.
 
Other income
 
Net other income for the three months ended December 31, 2006 was $24,418 compared to net other income of $6,170 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. The change was primarily driven by higher interest income and foreign currency transaction gains.
 
Tax provision

The deferred tax assets and the offsetting tax valuation allowance is attributable to the Company’s domestic operations. For three out of the last five fiscal years, the Company’s domestic operation incurred tax losses. Fiscal 2005 was the first year out of the last five years in which the Company’s domestic operations had pre tax income. As of December 31, 2006, we evaluated the future realization of our deferred tax assets and the corresponding valuation allowance. The Company took into consideration:

 
·
the tax losses incurred by our domestic operations in three out of the last five years
 
·
the seasonal nature and cyclical nature of the business, which makes it difficult to predict the future realization of the deferred tax asset
 
·
the dynamic market and technological changes that occur in our industry

After evaluating the circumstances listed above, it was the Company’s opinion that as of December 31, 2006, the valuation allowance was still applicable.

We recorded net income of $2,202,735, for the three months ended December 31, 2006, which resulted in basic net income per share of $0.23 and diluted net income per share of $0.22 on weighted average basic and diluted shares of 9,678,869 and 10,234,631, respectively, compared to a net income of $1,020,472 for the three months ended December 31, 2005, which resulted in basic net income per share of $0.11 and diluted net income per share of $0.10, respectively, on weighted average basic and diluted shares of 9,508,100 and 10,015,257, respectively.

17




Options to purchase 10,172 and 92,876 shares of common stock, at a price of $8.75 and ranging from $3.88 to $8.75, were outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.


18


 
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 our fourth fiscal quarter (July to September). In addition, our international sales, mostly in the European, market, were 54%, 54% and 66% of sales for the years ended September 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, 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 December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2006 is set forth below:

We had cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2006 of $9,857,227, a increase of $836,286 from September 30, 2006.

The increase in cash was due to :

Increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses
   
12,986,561

$

Net cash of $707,978 provided by operating activities was primarily due to net income adjusted for non cash items of $2,362,807, increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $12,986,561 and a decrease of $55,375 in prepaid expenses and other current assets. Offsetting these increases in cash were increases in accounts receivable of $11,953,040, due primarily to a 35% sales increase for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, and increases in inventory of $2,743,725 needed to fund the increase in sales.
 
Cash of $56,905 was used to purchase fixed assets. Proceeds from stock purchased by employees through the purchase of options and through the employee stock purchase plan provided additional cash of $213,645. The effect of exchange rates used cash of $ 28,432.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2006, our internally generated cash flow and our $3,000,000 bank line of credit 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
For each of the past three fiscal years, at least 50 % of the Company’s sales were generated by our European subsidiary and were invoiced and collected in local currency, which was primarily the Euro. On the supply side, since the Company predominantly deals with North American and Asian suppliers and contract manufacturers, approximately 90% of the Company’s inventory required to support our 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. Consequently, the Company’s financial results are subject to market risks resulting from the fluctuations in the Euro to U.S. Dollar exchange rates.

The Company attempts to reduce these 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 U.S. Dollar denominated inventory purchases required to support our European sales.

The Company does not try to hedge against all possible foreign currency exposures because of the inherent difficulty in estimating the volatility of the Euro, the contracts the Company procures are specifically entered into to as a hedge against forecasted or existing foreign currency exposure. The Company does not enter into contracts for speculative purposes. Although the Company maintains these programs to reduce the short term impact of changes in currency exchange rates, long term strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro impacts the Company’s sales, gross profit, operating income and retained earnings. Factors that could impact the effectiveness of our hedging program are:

 
·
volatility of the currency markets
 
·
availability of hedging instruments
 
·
accuracy of our inventory forecasts
 
Additionally, there is the risk that foreign exchange fluctuations will make our products less competitive in foreign markets, which would substantially reduce the Company’s sales.
 
20

 
As of December 31, 2006, we had foreign currency contracts outstanding of approximately $2,051,000 against the delivery of the Euro. These contracts expire from January 2007 through February 2007. Our accounting policies for these instruments designate such instruments as cash flow hedging transactions. We do not enter into such contracts for speculative purposes. We record all derivative gains and losses on the balance sheet as a component of stockholders’ equity under the caption “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)”. We recorded a deferred loss of $84,697 for the three months ended December 31 2006. As of December 31, 2006, a deferred loss of $62,727, reflecting the cumulative mark to market gains of our derivatives, was recorded on our balance sheet as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income 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 December 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 December 31, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
