Hauppauge Digital Reports Fiscal 2012 Second Quarter And Six Month Results

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., May 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Hauppauge Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: HAUP), a leading developer of TV receivers, video recorders, Internet video streaming devices and other products for the personal computer market, reported financial results for the second fiscal quarter and six month period ended March 31, 2012.

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Net sales increased to $11.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to $10.3 million reported for the previous year's second fiscal quarter.

The Company reduced its net loss to $347,181 for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to its net loss of $1,443,367 in the previous year's second fiscal quarter. Basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.03 for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to $0.14 for the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

SIX MONTH RESULTS

Net sales increased to $26.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $23.2 million reported for the six months ended March 31, 2011.

The Company reported net income of $96,751 for the six months ended March 31, 2012, compared to a net loss of $2,181,587 for the six months ended March 31, 2011. Basic and diluted income per share was $0.01 for the six months ended March 31, 2012 compared to a net loss per share of $0.22 for the six months ended March 31, 2011.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

Hauppauge's CEO Ken Plotkin noted: "Sales in the quarter increased by 10%, led by new products such as our digital cablecard receiver for Windows 7, the WinTV-DCR-2650, our new myTV(TM) receiver products for the iPad and iPhone and our new video game recording product, the HD PVR Gaming Edition. Our European sales improved in the second quarter, though it is difficult to say what impact the economic challenges of Europe will have on the sales of our consumer electronic products for the rest of the year. Our cost control program, which was started in the fourth quarter of 2011, has led to an expense reduction of 18% from last year, helping to narrow the loss in the second quarter."

"Hauppauge continues to move ahead with our research and development program. At the beginning of the third fiscal quarter, our R&D team in the U.S. delivered StreamEez(TM). StreamEez is a hardware video encoder which provides a simple way to video stream an event over the Internet. It is designed for small to medium size groups and institutions such as universities, religious organizations and political groups. StreamEez is based on the high quality video encoding technology which we use in our HD PVR and Colossus video recorders."

"In the beginning of the third quarter, we also introduced a new version of Broadway which allows the recording of TV programs onto an attached storage device. Developed by our PCTV Systems R&D team in Germany, Broadway is a high performance consumer video encoder which receives digital TV programs in North America and Europe, and transmits the TV program to an iPad or iPhone in the home via Wi-Fi or anywhere in the world where there is an Internet connection. We currently have three TV products which provide live TV for the iPad and iPhone, an area we believe has potential for growth going forward."
