SRS Labs Reports Revenue Growth and Increased Profitability for the Third Quarter of 2002

Company Reports Quarterly Earnings $.05 Per Share; YTD Earnings of $.01/Share Revenue Increases 52% Over Comparable Quarter Last Year and Consolidated Gross Margins Exceed 72%

SANTA ANA, Calif., Nov. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SRS Labs, Inc. (Nasdaq: SRSL), a leading provider of innovative audio, voice and ASIC technology solutions, today reported increased profitability and revenue growth for the third quarter ended September 30, 2002. The Company posted quarterly revenue growth of 52% over the third quarter of 2001. SRS Labs attributes its improved results to growth in its core, high margin licensing and semiconductor businesses, as well as continued expense control measures and improving consolidated gross margins. The Company reported consolidated gross margin of 72% for the third quarter of 2002, compared to 64% for the third quarter of 2001. This improvement is attributable to continued efforts by the Company to shift away from the low margin distribution product lines, which the Company is in the process of exiting.

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Company reported revenues of $5,411,613, with net income of $595,774, or $0.05 per share, compared to revenues for the third quarter of 2001 of $3,549,129 and a net loss of $802,299, or $0.06 per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company reported revenues of $12,995,353, with net income of $109,597, or $0.01 per share, compared to revenues during the same period in 2001 of $12,724,385 and a net loss of $3,347,721, or $0.27 per share. The Company's cash position improved by $1.6 million from the year ended December 31, 2001 with cash, cash equivalents and investments totaling $21.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

As a result of the resignation of the Company's independent accountant on October 24, 2002, the Company's financial statements for the third quarter ended September 30, 2002 have not yet been reviewed by an independent accountant. The Company today filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with respect to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2002 seeking an additional five calendar days to make a timely filing of such Quarterly Report. The Company is in the process of engaging a new independent accountant to serve as its auditor. At such time when a new independent auditor is engaged, such new auditor will review the Company's financial statements for the third quarter ended September 30, 2002.
