| SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 8
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Spatializer Audio Laboratories, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SPAZ)
today announced improved financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2002.
Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 were $440,000, compared to revenues of $426,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2001, an increase of 3%. The company reported net income for the quarter of $21,000, ($0.00) basic and diluted per share, compared with net income of $6,000 ($0.00) basic and fully diluted per share in the comparable period last year, an increase of 250%. The increase in revenues resulted primarily from royalties from new accounts including SANYO and Sharp which were beginning to come on stream, partially offset by the reduction in royalties from an account which suspended use of our technology in mid-2001. The increase in net income resulted from increased revenues and a decrease in operating expenses to $389,000 (88% of revenue) in the quarter ended March 31, 2002, from $402,000 (94% of revenue) in the comparable period last year, a decrease of 3%. This increase in net income was partially offset by a reduction in interest income, resulting from declining interest rates. The Company's cash position improved to $878,000 from the year ended December 31, 2001. Working capital at March 31, 2002 was $1,084,000. "We're pleased to report another consecutive quarter of profitability," stated Henry R. Mandell, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Spatializer Audio Laboratories, Inc. "The first quarter is typically soft, yet we saw a rebound in comparable quarter running royalties from ongoing accounts. In addition, we were gratified to see the start of royalty income from SANYO and Sharp, which we believe will be important partners in the months ahead." Henry R. Mandell concluded, "We have spent a good deal of time cultivating DSP and OEM relationships over the past two years. The design wins at SANYO and Sharp are good examples of both the excellence of our technology and our focus on providing timely and relevant audio solutions. However, we cannot rest on our laurels. The business environment is demanding ... but the opportunities have never been greater."
