DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
Ken Plotkin, Hauppauge's Chief Executive Officer stated, "Fiscal 2011 was a challenging year for the Company. Sales into Europe, which historically has been our strongest region for our TV tuner products, slowed dramatically. The slowdown affected southern Europe, including Spain and Italy, but also included previously strong markets, such as Germany.
"In 2011, we began transitioning our product portfolio from lower-end TV tuner products to higher-end video recorder, video streaming and digital TV tuner products with the introduction of 'Colossus', a high definition video recorder, 'Broadway', our live TV streaming products for the iPad and iPhone, our HD-PVR Gaming Edition, and our WinTV-DCR-2650 dual tuner CableCARD receiver. The WinTV-DCR-2650 allows a PC user in the United States to connect to their digital cable TV signal and watch or record up to two programs at a time.
"We believe the repositioning of our product offerings will result in future benefits for the Company.
"In recognition of the impact of the sales transition, during the second half of fiscal 2011, the Company implemented an expense reduction plan in order to bring the overhead expense level more in line with our current sales. We have closed some offices and reduced personnel levels in other offices.
"The Company believes that the effect of this expense reduction plan coupled with the sales transition of our product portfolio will have a positive effect on our operations starting with the first quarter of fiscal 2012."
