DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
Ken Plotkin, Hauppauge's Chief Executive Officer, stated "Though we have just finished our typical slow sales period, between the holiday selling season and the summer vacations, our sales grew 22% when compared with the year ago period. Much of this growth is due to our recently introduced digital TV tuner receivers for PCs and notebooks, plus continued sales growth in TV receivers for Media Center PCs.
At the beginning of our fiscal year, the company restructured its European sales and marketing operations. This restructuring has started to pay off in this quarter with a turnaround in sales, and has also resulted in lower costs in our European operation which is reflected in lower Sales and Marketing expenses for this quarter.
Our R&D departments in New York and Taiwan have been teaming together to deliver an impressive series of new products, including two new multimode TV tuners, the triple TV format WinTV-HVR-3000 and the quadruple TV format WinTV-HVR-4000. The WinTV-HVR-4000 is Hauppauge's first product with high-definition satellite TV reception. In addition, two new dual tuner digital TV receivers, the WinTV-NOVA-T-500 and the new WinTV-NOVA-T-USB2 diversity digital TV receiver, were introduced. Together, the R&D team is scheduled to introduce 20 new products in fiscal 2006."
