NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements presented herein are based on interim amounts
and are subject to audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present
fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at
December 31, 2000 and for all periods presented have been made. The
income from operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 is not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested
that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Registrant's June 30, 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2. EARNINGS PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding. The weighted average number of
common shares outstanding for the quarters ending December 31, 2000 and
1999 were 2,131,147 and 2,636,092, respectively. For the six months
ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, weighted average number of common
shares outstanding were 2,183,597 and 2,661,442, respectively. When
dilutive, stock options are included as share equivalents using the
treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents of 118,468 and 57,639
related to stock option grants were included in the computation of the
average number of shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share for
the quarters ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Common
stock equivalents of 106,673 and 58,375 related to stock option grants

4. STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

The Company has an agreement with its Chairman to repurchase stock from
his estate in the event of his death. The repurchase price is 95% of
the fair market value of the common stock on the date that notice to
repurchase is provided to the Company. The total number of shares to be
repurchased shall be sufficient to provide proceeds which are the
lesser of $2,500,000 or the amount of estate taxes and administrative
expenses incurred by his estate. The Company is obligated to pay in
cash 25% of the total amount due and to execute a promissory note at
the prime rate of interest for the balance. The Company maintains a
$1,150,000 life insurance policy to fund a substantial portion of this
obligation. At December 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000, $1,490,000 has been
classified as a Contingently Redeemable Equity Interest reflecting the
estimated obligation in the event of execution of the agreement.

5. DEFERRED COMPENSATION

In 1991, the Board of Directors agreed that after age 70, Mr. John C.
Koss shall receive his current base salary for the remainder of his
life. Mr. Koss has turned 70 and the Company is currently recognizing
an annual expense of $150,000 in connection with this agreement. At
December 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000, respectively, the related
liabilities in the amounts of $1,102,850 and $1,045,310 have been
included in deferred compensation and other liabilities in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Financial Condition and Liquidity

Cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended December 31,
2000 amounted to $2,661,092. The decrease in working capital of $2,210,341 from
the balance at June 30, 2000 represents primarily the net effect of a decrease
in cash and inventories, and increases in accounts payable, accounts receivable
and accrued liabilities.

Capital expenditures for new property and equipment (including production
tooling) were $480,758 for the six months. Budgeted capital expenditures for
fiscal year 2001 are $1,123,100. The Company expects to generate sufficient
funds through operations to fund these expenditures.

Stockholders' investment decreased to $18,334,975 at December 31, 2000, from
$20,493,633 at June 30, 2000. The decrease reflects the effect of net income,
the purchase and retirement of common stock, and the exercise of stock options
for the quarter.

The Company amended its existing credit facility in December 1999, extending the
maturity date of the unsecured line of credit to November 1, 2001. This credit
facility provides for borrowings up to a maximum of $10,000,000. The Company can
use this credit facility for working capital purposes or for the purchase of its
own stock pursuant to the Company's stock repurchase program. Borrowings under
this credit facility bear interest at the bank's prime rate, or LIBOR plus
1.75%. This credit facility includes certain financial covenants that require
the Company to maintain a minimum tangible net worth and specified current,
interest coverage, and leverage ratios. There was no utilization of this credit
facility at December 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000.

In April of 1995, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program
authorizing the Company to purchase from time to time up to $2,000,000 of its
common stock for its own account. In January of 1996, the Board of Directors
approved an increase in the stock repurchase program from $2,000,000 to
$3,000,000. In July of 1997, the Board of Directors again approved an increase
in the stock repurchase program from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000. In January of
1998, the Board of Directors approved an increase of an additional $2,000,000,
increasing the total stock repurchase program from $5,000,000 to $7,000,000. In
August of 1998, the Board of Directors approved an increase of $3,000,000 in the
Company's stock repurchase program, thereby increasing the total amount of stock
repurchases from $7,000,000 to $10,000,000. In April of 1999, the Board of
Directors again approved an increase in the stock repurchase program from
$10,000,000 to $15,000,000. In October of 1999, the Board of Directors increased
the stock repurchase program by another $5,000,000, up to a maximum of
$20,000,000, and in July of 2000 the Board increased the program by an
additional $5,000,000, for a maximum of $25,000,000. In January of 2001, the
Board of Directors approved an additional $3,000,000 for the stock repurchase
program, increasing the maximum amount of repurchases under the entire
repurchase program to $28,000,000, calculated on a net purchase price basis. The
Company intends to effectuate all stock purchases either on the open market or
through privately negotiated transactions, and intends to finance all stock
purchases through its own cash flow or by borrowing for such purchases. All
shares repurchased by the Company are retired and returned to the status of
authorized but unissued shares.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2000, the Company purchased 47,000 shares of
its common stock in multiple transactions for a total purchase price of
$1,059,788, representing an average price of $22.55 per share.

From the commencement of the Company's stock repurchase program through December
31, 2000, the Company has purchased and retired a total of 2,069,498 shares for
a total gross purchase price of $26,584,620 (representing an average gross
purchase price of $12.85 per share) and a total net purchase price of
$23,687,898 (representing an average net purchase price of $11.45 per share).
The difference between the total gross purchase price and the total net purchase
price reflects the lower cost to the Company of purchasing stock from certain
employees who have exercised stock options pursuant to the Company's stock
option program. In determining the total dollar amount available for purchases
under the stock repurchase program, the Company uses the total net purchase
price paid by the Company for all stock purchases, as authorized by the Board of
Directors.

The Company also has an Employee Stock Ownership and Trust ("ESOP") pursuant to
which shares of the Company's stock are purchased by the ESOP for allocation to
the accounts of ESOP participants. For the quarter ended December 31, 2000, the
ESOP did not purchase any shares of the Company's stock.

2000, such expenses were $4,288,607 or 21% of net sales, as against $3,757,610
