SRS Labs Returns to Profitability for 2002 Second Quarter

Company Announces Profit of $204,553 or $.02 Per Share; Consolidated Gross Margin Increases 20.5 Percentage Points Over Q2 2001; Total Cash Position Improves by $687,331 From Year End 2001

SANTA ANA, Calif., July 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SRS Labs, Inc. (Nasdaq: SRSL), a leading provider of innovative audio, voice and ASIC technology solutions, today reported financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2002, and posted a profit for the first time in ten consecutive quarters. Excluding revenue from the component distribution business, which the company is strategically exiting, second quarter 2002 revenue increased $583,265 or 18 percent versus the second quarter of 2001. Consolidated revenue including the component distribution business declined by $816,015 in the second quarter 2002 versus the comparable prior year period. The company continued to improve consolidated gross margin to 72.3 percent compared to 51.8 percent for the second quarter of 2001. This improvement is primarily the result of the company's exiting the component distribution business.

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2002, the company reported revenues of $4,028,360, with earnings of $204,553 or $0.02 per share compared to the second quarter 2001 revenues of $4,844,375 and a net loss of $979,888 or a loss of $0.08 per share. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the company reported revenues of $7,583,740, with a net loss of $486,177 or a loss of $0.04 per share, compared to the same prior year period of $9,175,256 in revenues and net loss of $2,545,422 or a loss of $0.20 per share. The company's cash position improved by $687,331 from the year ended December 31, 2001 with cash, cash equivalents and investments totaling $20.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

Thomas C. K. Yuen, chairman and CEO of SRS Labs said, "Our return to profitability is an important milestone for SRS Labs. We are pleased to have achieved this goal. We now can leverage our business model which focuses on high margin, high volume and high growth businesses, and build upon this momentum to further improve our bottom line results and enhance shareholder value."
