Note 5.  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 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:

    10,065,344       10,043,876       10,062,545       10,039,474  

Options to purchase 1,335,192 and 1,767,744 shares of common stock, at prices from $1.05 to $7.45 and from $1.05 to $8.75 were outstanding for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.
 
Note 6.  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 average rate during the year. 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 $3,441,262 recorded on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2009. For the six months ended March 31, 2010 the Company recorded on the balance sheet translation losses of $669,012, resulting in an accumulated translation loss of $4,110,274 recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income as of March 31, 2010.

Note 7. Derivatives and Hedging Activities

For each of the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and the six months ended March 31, 2010, at least 40 % of the Company’s sales were generated by its 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 95% of the Company’s inventory required to support its 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 its 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 the Company’s hedging program are:

 
·
volatility of the currency markets
 
·
availability of hedging instruments
 
·
accuracy of the Company’s inventory forecasts

Additionally, there is the risk that foreign exchange fluctuations will make the Company’s products less competitive in foreign markets, which would substantially reduce the Company’s sales.

 As of March 31, 2010, the Company had foreign currency contracts outstanding of approximately $393,000 against the delivery of the Euro. These contracts expire each month through June 30, 2010. The Company had no forward exchange contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2009.

The Company’s accounting policies for these instruments designate such instruments as cash flow hedging transactions. The Company does not enter into such contracts for speculative purposes. The Company records all derivative gains and losses on the balance sheet as a component of stockholders’ equity under the caption “Accumulated other comprehensive loss.” For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Company recorded on the balance sheet a mark to market deferred forward exchange gain of $21,487.

Note 8. Revenue recognition

The Company sells through a sales channel which is comprised of retailers, PC manufacturers and distributors. The majority of the Company’s customers are granted lines of credit. The product is shipped on account with the majority of customers typically given 30 to 45 day payment terms. Those customers deemed as large credit risks either pay in advance or issue the Company 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 FASB ASC 605-15 (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 the seasonal nature of the business coupled with the changing economic environment, management exercises some judgment with regard to the historical data when calculating 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 FASB ASC 605-50 ( EITF 01-09), “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products)”.

Note 11. Accrued expense- fees

The Company uses technology licensed from third parties in certain products. The Company enters into agreements to license this technology, and in return for the use of the technology, the Company incurs a license fee for each unit sold that includes the licensors’ technology. The licensing amount per unit varies by licensor. The Company is obligated to provide the licensor with reports which quantify the licenses used and these reports are subject to audits by the licensor. The Company recognizes and estimates the amount of licensing fees owed to third parties based on products sold that include software and technology 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. The licensing fees are accounted for as a component of product cost and are charged to cost of sales. As of March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009 the amount of accrued expenses relating to these license agreements amounted to $5,681,983 and $5,753,546, respectively.

Note 12. Fair Value Measurements

Effective October 1, 2008 the Company adopted ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements, for financial assets and liabilities. This ASC defines fair value, 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:

• 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.

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

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.

 At March 31, 2010, the Company had forward contracts whose fair value at quarter end was determined via inputs that included quoted prices for similar foreign exchange contracts in active markets and were thus considered to be Level 2 inputs under the SFAS 157 hierarchy (see Note 7).

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 receivables and accounts payables and other short-term financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. 

Note 13. Acquisition of PCTV assets from Avid Technology, Inc.

Effective December 24, 2008, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 25, 2008, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”) (together with the Amendment, the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), PCTV Systems, Sarl, a Luxembourg company (“Buyer”) and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired certain assets and properties (the “Acquired Assets”) of Avid Technology, Inc. (“Avid”), a Delaware corporation, Pinnacle Systems, Inc., a California corporation (“Pinnacle”), Avid Technology GmbH, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Germany, Avid Development GmbH, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Germany, and Avid Technology International BV (collectively, the “Sellers”). The Acquired Assets were used by the Sellers in the business of, among other things, the development, manufacture and sale of personal devices containing a television tuner for receiving over-the-air, satellite and/or cable television signals that are used in conjunction with personal computers for personal television viewing. The potential increase in the Company’s customer base, the potential absorption of the PCTV operations into the existing Hauppauge infrastructure with minimal incremental costs plus the acquisition of the seller’s technology, reference designs and product line were among the attributes that were considered in the Company’s decision to complete the acquisition.

Because the acquisition was completed on December 24, 2008, results from the operations of the PCTV business effectively started on January 1, 2009. The following unaudited pro forma results assume the acquisition occurred on October 1, 2008. The pro forma results do not purport to represent what the Company’s results of operations actually would have been if the transactions set forth above had occurred on the date indicated or what the Company’s results of operations will be in future periods. The financial results for the periods prior to the acquisition were based on internal financial statements as provided by the Sellers.

 The sales increase was attributable to increased international sales due to the addition of customers acquired in the PCTV acquisition, increased sales to computer manufacturers and a strengthening of the Euro exchange rate against the U.S. dollar. A favorable mix of higher sales priced product contributed to a 1.67% increase in the average sales price while units sales increased by about 14.50%.

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $83,934 from last year’s second quarter as follows.

Excluding the PCTV expenses and amortization of intangible assets acquired in the PCTV acquisition, selling, general and administrative expense decreased $34,346 from the prior year’s second quarter. Sales and marketing expense for HCW increased $50,103, driven by a $94,316 expense increase resulting from the increase in the Euro exchange rate compared to the U.S. dollar and an increase in sales volume related expenses, mainly commissions and co-op advertising expense of $72,998, offset by reductions in trade show expenses of $24,025 and lower sales office expenses of $92,686, mainly due to personnel and overhead reductions.

Sales and marketing expenses related to the PCTV product line increased $24,879, primarily due to  personnel and overhead expenses.

The decrease in general and administrative expense for HCW of $55,205 was primarily due to lower professional fees, primarily for legal, consulting fees and directors fees of $106,651 and a decrease in compensation expense of $19,147 due to staff reductions and a 10% salary reduction, offset by higher rent expense of $5,255, higher bad debt expense of $20,000 and higher credit costs of $45,338 due primarily for premiums paid to purchase Euro denominated option put contracts.

General and administrative expenses related to the PCTV product line decreased $74,467, primarily due to expenses related to a transitional services agreement in effect with Avid during the second fiscal quarter of 2009. This agreement was terminated during the third fiscal quarter of 2009.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 decreased $262,747 from the three months ended March 31, 2009 as follows:

Excluding the expense of the PCTV division, research and development expense decreased $265,782 from the prior year’s second fiscal quarter. The decrease was primarily due to personnel and personnel related reductions and the number of development programs in process.

Offsetting the expense decreases were increases of $12,405 related to personnel and product development programs of the PCTV business.

The sales increase was attributable to increased international sales due to the addition of customers acquired in the PCTV acquisition, increased sales to computer manufacturers and a strengthening of the Euro exchange rate against the U.S. dollar. A favorable mix of higher sales priced product contributed to a 8.09% increase in the average sales price while units sales increased by about 3.00%.

Selling, general and administrative expense for the six months ended March 31, 2010 increased $409,693 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Excluding the PCTV expenses and amortization of intangible assets acquired in the PCTV acquisition, selling, general and administrative expense increased $52,879 over the prior year. Sales and marketing expense for HCW increased $191,627, driven by a $302,577 expense increase resulting from the increase in the Euro exchange rate compared to the U.S. dollar and an increase in sales volume related expenses, mainly commissions and co-op advertising expense of $170,500, offset by reductions in trade show expenses of $47,178, lower sales office expenses of $207,783 mainly due to personnel and overhead reductions, and lower sales compensation expense due to personnel reductions of $26,489.

Sales and marketing expenses related to the PCTV product line increased $149,592. The PCTV acquisition was finalized at the end of December 2008, so the results for six months ended March 31, 2009 only included three months of PCTV expense while the results for the six months ended March 31, 2010  included PCTV expenses for six months.

The decrease in general and administrative expense for HCW of $78,321 was primarily due to lower professional fees, mainly for legal, consulting fees and directors fees of $115,793 and a decrease in compensation expense of $44,640 due to staff reductions and a 10% salary reduction, offset by higher rent expense of $6,427, higher bad debt expense of $40,000 and higher credit costs of $35,685 due primarily for premiums paid to purchase Euro denominated option put contracts.

General and administrative expenses related to the PCTV product line increased $18,513. The PCTV acquisition was finalized at the end of December 2008, so the results for the six months ended March 31, 2009 only included three months of PCTV expense, while the results for the six months ended March 31, 2010  included PCTV expenses for six months.

Amortization of intangible assets of $188,709 was related to intangible assets acquired in the purchase of the PCTV business. The PCTV acquisition was finalized at the end of December 2008, so the results for the six months ended March 31, 2009 only included three months of intangible asset amortization while the results for the six months ended March 31, 2010 included six months of intangible asset amortization.

Excluding the expense of the PCTV division, research and development expense decreased $436,502 from the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to personnel and personnel related reductions and the number of development programs in process.

Offsetting the expense decreases were $516,924 in expense related to personnel and development programs of the PCTV business acquired at the end of December 2008. The PCTV acquisition was finalized at the end of December 2008, so the results for the six months ended March 31, 2009 only included three months of research and development expense, while the results for the six months ended March 31, 2010 included six months of research and development expense.

Summary

We recorded a net loss of $1,237,424 for the six months ended March 31, 2010, which resulted in basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.12 on weighted average basic and diluted shares of 10,062,545 compared to a net loss of $3,704,383 for the six months ended March 31, 2009, which resulted in basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.37 on weighted average basic and diluted shares of 10,039,434.

Options to purchase 1,335,192 and 1,767,744 shares of common stock, at prices from $1.05 to $7.45 and from $1.05 to $8.75 were outstanding for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, 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. Our peak sales quarter due to holiday season sales of computer equipment 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 52% of sales for the two years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively, and 56% for the six months ended March 31, 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.

Net cash provided by operating activities was due to an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,298,984 and a decrease in accounts receivable of $1,354,543.  The decrease in accounts receivable was primarily due to lower fiscal second quarter sales compared to fiscal first quarter sales. Offsetting these cash increases were increases in inventory and prepaid expenses of $674,948 and $216,478, respectively.  The increase in inventory was needed to cover expected sales volume for the third fiscal quarter.  The net loss adjusted for non cash items consumed $245,718 in cash.

Cash of $534,066 was used in investing activities.  Of this amount, the Company paid $511,332 on the note payable to Avid Technologies, Inc. and $22,734 was used to purchase fixed assets. As of December 31, 2009, the note to Avid Technologies, Inc. was fully paid.  Cash of $9,332 from financing activities came from purchases of stock under our employee stock purchase plan.

Our cash requirements for the next twelve months will include, among other things, the cash needed to fund our operating and working capital needs.  With the proper execution of our business and operating plan, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2010 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.

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.
