QSound Labs Reports Second Quarter Results for 2003

CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 12, 2003--QSound Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ:QSND), a leading developer of audio, e-commerce and multimedia software products, reported revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2003 of $383,000 as compared to $870,000 for the same period in FY2002. The operating loss for the quarter was $(401,000) or $(0.06) per share as compared to an operating profit of $188,000 or $0.03 per share for the same period last year. After allowing for non-cash items such as depreciation, and foreign exchange gains, the net loss for the period was $(327,000) or $(0.05) per share as compared to net income of $84,000 or $0.01 per share for the same period in FY2002.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $1,214,000 compared to $1,625,000 in FY2002. The operating loss was $(223,000) or $(0.03) per share in FY2003 and the operating profit was $356,000 or $0.05 per share in FY2002. Net loss for FY2003 was $(239,000) or $(0.03) per share as compared to net income of $173,000 or $0.02 per share in FY2002.

The Company reported a working capital surplus of $3,214,000 at June 30, 2003 of which cash comprised $3,082,000. Cash flow from operations totaled $480,000 for the six month period, most of which was retained, resulting in a cash increase of $461,000 for the period.

"This was an important quarter for the Company as we made significant progress with the initiatives announced at our shareholder meeting in June," stated David Gallagher, President and CEO of QSound Labs. "As anticipated, the financial performance for this quarter was weak. However as planned, the combination of new revenue streams and our strong balance sheet will ensure an improved performance in the coming periods."

"Specifically our microQ product suite for the mobile and handheld market has been well received and we will have designs wins in the near future. Royalty revenue from these design wins would start in FY2004. Also, we are now ready to ship our first VoIP products under the QTelNet brand and this will contribute financially during the third quarter and is expected to grow moving forward."
