		December 31,				September 30,
		2011				2011
Component parts		$	4,087,133			$	3,504,129

Note 4. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic net income (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) 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,
		2011				2010
Weighted average shares outstanding-basic			10,122,344				10,083,417
Number of shares issued on the assumed exercise of stock options			-				-
Weighted average shares outstanding-diluted			10,122,344				10,083,417

 

Options to purchase 1,404,567 and 1,537,442 shares of common stock, at prices from $0.86 to $7.45 and from $0.89 to $7.45, were outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.

Note 5. Product segment and geographic information

 

The Company operates in one business segment, which is the development, marketing and manufacturing of analog and digital video products for the personal computer market and Apple iPad® and iPhone® 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 the Company’s marketing channel. The Company also sells product directly to PC manufacturers.

 

The Company’s products fall under three product categories:

 

·

Video recorder products, such as USB-Live2, which allows consumers to record video tapes to DVD disc or to some of the Company’s products, such as the HD PVR and Colossus

·

TV receivers, which include Broadway and the Company’s WinTV and PCTV TV tuner products

·

Non-TV tuner products such as the ImpactVCB, MediaMVP-HD and the Company’s TV applications for the PC and the Apple iPad® and iPhone®

 

The Company’s TV tuner products enable, among other things, a PC user to watch TV in a resizable window on a PC. The Company’s video recorder products allow consumers to record high definition video from a cable TV or satellite set top box or a game console such as a Xbox 360 or Sony Playstation 3. The Company’s other non-TV tuner products enable, among other things, the ability to watch and listen to PC based videos, music and pictures on a TV set through a home network.

 

Sales by functional category are as follows:

 

		Three months ended December 31,
Product line sales		2011				2010

Note 6. Tax provision

 

The Company’s tax provision for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

 

		Three months ended December 31,
		2011				2010
Current tax expense on international operations		$	26,348			$	37,331

Deferred tax expense			436,931				199,726
Tax provision		$	473,279			$	247,057

 

Note 7. Accrued expense-fees

 

The Company uses software and technology purchased or licensed from third parties in certain of the Company’s products.  The Company enters into agreements for these technologies, and incurs a fee for each product sold that includes the technology. The Company recognizes and estimates the amount of fees owed to third parties based on products sold that include software and technology purchased or licensed from these third parties.  The Company uses all available applicable information in determining these estimates and thus the accrued amounts are subject to change as new information is made available to the Company. Accrued expense-fees are accounted for as a component of product cost and are charged to cost of sales.  As of December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011 the amount of accrued expense-fees amounted to $4,551,547 and $4,082,719, respectively.

 

Note 8. Accrued Expenses

 

Accrued expenses are for costs incurred for goods and services which are based on estimates, charged as incurred to operations as period costs and for which no invoice has been rendered. Accrued expenses as of December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011 were $12,734,525 and $11,417,895, respectively. Included in accrued expenses are accruals for product costs, accruals for sales costs relating to sales rebate programs, accruals for freight and duty expenses, accruals for compensation, accruals for warranty repair costs and accruals for advertising and marketing costs.

 

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands the related disclosure requirements. The ASC indicates, among other things, that a fair value measurement assumes a transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The Company also adopted the provisions of ASC 820-10 with respect to its non-financial assets and liabilities during the first quarter of fiscal 2010. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC 820-10 establishes a hierarchy for observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad Levels, which are described below:

 

 

 

 

HAUPPAUGE DIGITAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

• Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

• Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.

• Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

 

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

 

Additionally, on a nonrecurring basis, the Company uses fair value measures when analyzing asset impairment. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If it is determined such indicators are present and the review indicates that the assets will not be fully recoverable, based on undiscounted estimated cash flows over the remaining amortization periods, their carrying values are reduced to estimated fair value. Measurements based on undiscounted cash flows are considered to be Level 3 inputs.

 

The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and other short-term financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

In fiscal 2011 we began a repositioning of our product offerings from lower-end TV tuner products to higher-end video recorder, video streaming and digital TV tuner products. Led by strong sales of our higher end video recorder and video streaming products our sales increased by approximately 20% over the first quarter of fiscal 2011. As a result of this transition, we experienced an increase in the average unit sales price of approximately 30% while our unit sales decreased by approximately 8%.

 

Gross profit

 

Gross profit increased $662,525 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in gross profit was due to:

 

		Three Months
		ended
Gross profit in dollars-increase (decrease)		12/31/11
Higher sales		$	1,128,482
Weaker Euro			(48,298	)

License fee adjustment			(234,863	)
Mix of OEM sales			(214,619	)
Total increase in gross profit		$	662,525

 

The decrease in the gross profit percentage was due to:

 

		Three Months

Gross profit percentage-increase (decrease)		12/31/11
Mix of higher gross profit  retail sales			1.24	%
Weaker Euro			(0.18)	%

License fee adjustment			(2.00)	%
Mix of OEM sales			(1.40)	%
Total gross profit percentage decrease			(1.33)	%

 

 

The factors contributing to the gross profit percentage decrease of 1.33% for the three months ended December 31, 2011 were primarily:

 

·      Favorable gross profit percentage due to mix of higher average sales price retail sales resulted in an increase of 1.24%.

·      A decrease in the Euro to USD exchange rate from $1.3591 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 to $1.3479 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 resulted in a gross profit decrease of 0.18%.

·      Mix of lower gross profit OEM sales resulted in a gross profit decrease of 1.40%

·      Labor related and other costs resulted in a gross profit increase of 1.01%

·      Lower license fee adjustments resulted in a gross profit decrease of 2.00%

Selling, general and administrative expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 decreased $475,967 from the same period as last year as follows:

 

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $446,571, driven primarily by $34,026 in lower compensation expenses, $487,046 in lower sales office expenses due to office downsizing and office closures, offset somewhat by $74,501 in higher sales related expenses, such as commission and co-op advertising.

 

The decrease in technical support of $19,931 was primarily due to lower personnel expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses of $36,132 was due primarily to $40,000 in bad debt expense in recognition of potential non-collectible accounts. The decrease in stock compensation expense is due to less options issued at a lower fair value.

 

Research and development expenses

 

Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2011 decreased $284,397 from the three months ended December 31, 2010. The decrease was mainly due to lower compensation and compensation related expenses due to personnel reductions and lower stock compensation expense due to less options issued at a lower price.

 

 

Tax provision

 

Our tax provision for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

 

		Three months ended December 31,
		2011				2010
Current tax expense on international operations		$	26,348			$	37,331
Current state taxes			10,000				10,000
Deferred tax  expense			436,931				199,726
Tax provision		$	473,279			$	247,057

 

The increase in deferred tax expense was primarily due to the utilization of net operating losses.

 

Summary of operations

 

We recorded a net income of $443,932 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, which resulted in basic and diluted net income per share of $0.04 on weighted average basic and diluted shares of 10,122,344, compared to a net loss of $738,220 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, which resulted in basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.07 on weighted average basic and diluted shares of 10,083,417.

 

Options to purchase 1,404,567 and 1,537,442 shares of common stock, at prices from $0.86 to $7.45 and from $0.89 to $7.45, were outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.

 

Seasonality

 

As our sales are primarily to the consumer market, we have experienced certain seasonal revenue trends. Historically, our peak sales quarter due to holiday season sales is our first fiscal quarter (October to December), followed by our second fiscal quarter (January to March). In addition, our international sales, mostly in the European market, were 41% of sales for fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 and 54% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. Part of our third and fourth quarters (April through June and July to September) can be potentially impacted by the reduction of activity experienced in Europe during the summer holiday period.

 

We target a wide range of customer types to attempt to moderate the seasonal nature of our retail sales.

 

Liquidity and capital resources

 

The Company had cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2011 of $4,421,669, an increase of $341,132 from September 30, 2011.

 

 

The increase in cash was due to:

 

		Operating				Investing				Financing
		Activities				Activities				Activities				Total
Sources of cash:
Increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses		$	3,535,418			$	-			$	-			$	3,535,418

Effect of exchange rates on cash			-				-				-				(49,689	)
Net cash increase		$	409,434			$	(18,613	)		$	-			$	341,132

 

Cash provided by operating activities was due to an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $3,535,418 and net income adjusted for non cash items of $1,239,622. Cash used by operating activities was due to an increase in accounts receivable of $3,119,059, an increase in inventory of $1,080,617 and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $165,930. The increase in accounts receivable was due to an increase in sales of approximately 50% between the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. The increase in inventory was due to higher production required in response to the increased sales. The increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses was due to material purchases required to build the inventory needed to fund the increase in sales. Cash of $18,613 was used to purchase capital equipment.

 

We had working capital of $1,026,376 as of December 31, 2011 compared to a working capital deficit of $8,033 as of September 30, 2011. The net increase in current assets of $4,483,492 as of December 31, 2011 compared to September 30, 2011 was a result of increased business volume for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

 

Our cash requirements for the next twelve months will include, among other things, the cash needed to fund our operating and working capital needs. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 we put into place an expense reduction plan. With the proper execution of this plan and our business and operating plan, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2011 and our internally generated cash will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our capital needs for the next twelve months. Failure to meet the business and operating plan could require the need for additional sources of capital. In light of the current economic and credit conditions there can be no assurances that we will be able to find external sources of financing to fund our additional capital needs. In addition, if we are able to obtain financing, there can be no assurances that it will be on financially reasonable terms.

 

Future contractual obligations

 

The following table shows our contractual obligations related to lease obligations as of December 31, 2011:

 

		Payments due by period
			Total				Less than 1 year				1-3 years				3 to 5 years
Operating lease obligations		$	1,795,217			$	521,746			$	780,249			$	493,222

 

 

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 effect on us.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. Specifically, the new guidance allows an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. While the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. We do not expect that the adoption of this disclosure-only guidance will have an impact on our consolidated financial results when it becomes effective during the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued amendments to fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. This guidance amends United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) to conform with measurement and disclosure requirements in International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The amendments change the wording used to describe the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This includes clarification of the Board’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and those that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. In addition, to improve consistency in application across jurisdictions, some changes in wording are necessary to ensure that U.S. GAAP and IFRS fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are described in the same way (for example, using the word “shall” rather than “should” to describe the requirements in U.S. GAAP). This amended guidance is to be applied prospectively and becomes effective during the second quarter of fiscal 2012. We do not expect this guidance will have a material impact on results of operations or financial position.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting, identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act, that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
