QSound Labs Reports First Quarter Results for 2002

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 8, 2002--QSound Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ: QSND) a leading developer of audio, e-commerce and multimedia software products, reported revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2002 of $755,000 as compared to $843,000 for the same period in FY2001. The operating profit for the quarter was $168,000 or $0.02 per share as compared to $33,000 or $0.00 per share for the same period last year. Including non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization of goodwill, net income for the period was $88,000 or $0.01 per share as compared to a loss of $(179,000) or $(0.02) per share for the same period in FY2001.

The Company reported a working capital surplus of $2,383,000 compared to $2,288,000 as at December 31, 2001. Cash and cash equivalents decreased from $2,048,000 to $1,904,000 during the quarter as funds were expended on fixed asset acquisitions and general working capital.

"The Company continues to operate in a stable fashion despite the continuing uncertainty in the technology sector," stated David Gallagher, President and CEO of QSound Labs. "We have maintained an effective cost control program while at the same time continuing with our product development plans. Several new product lines will be delivered in the second quarter, one of which will be the first delivery pursuant to the recently announced agreement with Philips."

"The revenue mix by customer for each quarter over the past year has been ever changing. In the latest quarter, royalties received from our hearing aid license increased over previous periods as a result of new product releases by Starkey. This was partially offset by reduced iQfx®3 revenues from RealNetworks caused by reduced exposure of the product to consumers on their site. The uncertainty in the PC and CE markets, when added to this mix, provides an unclear picture of trends for later in the year; however in the short term, management expects financial results to be similar to this quarter."

This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 concerning, among other things, continued operational stability and development and commercial introduction of new products. Investors are cautioned that such forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainties, which could cause actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements.
