SRS LABS, INC.
NOTES TO THE INTERIM UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL/BASIS OF PRESENTATION
SRS Labs, Inc. (the "Company") develops, markets and licenses patented audio
technologies for use in five worldwide markets: consumer home audio, computer
multimedia, car audio, professional sound and video and arcade games.
In August 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering of 3,107,452
shares of common stock for $8.00 per share, netting proceeds to the Company
after underwriting discounts and expenses of approximately $22.1 million.
The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared by
the Company in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
regulations.
In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to present
fairly the balance sheets as of September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the
statements of income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
1997 and 1996 and the statements of cash flows for the nine month periods ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996. The results of operations for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 1997. The interim
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.
2. INVESTMENTS AVAILABLE FOR SALE
The Company has classified its investments as available-for-sale in accordance
with SFAS No. 115. As of September 30, 1997, the Company's available-for-sale
investments had a cost of $21,321,655 and an estimated fair value of
$21,561,256, based on quoted market prices. The unrealized gains on these
investments of $239,601, net of income taxes of $96,171, have been reported in
the Company's balance sheet as an increase in stockholders' equity.
4. NET INCOME PER SHARE
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (FAS 128) which is effective
for financial statements for both interim and annual periods ending after
December 15, 1997. FAS 128 requires the Company to disclose a basic and diluted
earnings per share (EPS). The Company will adopt the provisions of FAS 128 in
the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1997.
Basic and diluted EPS, as computed under FAS 128, would have been $.11 and $.11
per share, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and $.28
and $.25 per share, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND CERTAIN FACTORS
SRS Labs, Inc. (the "Company") develops, markets and licenses patented
audio technologies for use in five worldwide markets: consumer home audio,
computer multimedia, car audio, professional sound and video and arcade games.
The Company licenses its flagship technology, SRS (o)(R), the Sound Retrieval
System(R) ("SRS") to leading original equipment manufacturers.
Included in this Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
Operation are certain forward-looking statements reflecting management's current
expectations. Although the Company believes that its expectations are based upon
reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurances that the Company's financial
goals will be realized. Numerous factors may affect the Company's actual results
and may cause results to differ materially from those expressed in
forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. The Company's
operating results may fluctuate from those in prior quarters, and will continue
to be subject to quarterly and other fluctuations due to a variety of factors,
including the extent to which the Company's licensees incorporate SRS or the
Company's other technologies into products, the gain or loss of significant
customers, competitive pressures on selling prices, the acceptance of new or
enhanced versions of the Company's technologies, the rate the Company's
semiconductor licensees manufacture and distribute chips to OEMs, the ability of
the Company to secure one-time license fees for its technologies from new and
existing licensees, seasonal customer demand, the Company's ability to continue
to effectively compete with others in the field of audio enhancement
technologies processes and products and general business economic conditions,
particularly those effecting the consumer electronics market.
As a result of existing and new competitors into the 3D audio market,
the Company has recently experienced, and anticipates that it will continue to
experience, increased pricing pressures due to aggressive pricing from certain
of the Company's competitors. Due to competitive pricing pressures, the Company
may from time to time reduce the average unit royalty fees charged to its
customers. In order to offset declines in average unit selling prices, the
Company depends upon increased usage of its technologies by existing customers
and expansion into new market segments. The degree to which the Company can
expand usage of its technology by both new and existing customers will depend on
a number of factors including semiconductor development and delivery schedules,
the ability of the Company to manage expansion in international marketing and
sales and timely introduction of new technologies such as Focus and TruSurround.
There is no assurance that the Company will achieve the desired volume growth to
offset the negative effect to revenue caused by the reduction in average unit
price.
As the Company transitions the delivery of its technologies to OEMs from
a discrete solution to a semiconductor-based solution, the Company improves its
ability to deliver cost-effective, reliable solutions to its customers. The
existence of semiconductor-based technology solutions, however, increases the
dependence of the Company's operating results on the ability of semiconductor
manufacturers to timely deliver such solutions to the marketplace. The Company's
reliance on outside semiconductor manufacturers reduces the Company's ability to
control the supply of products to the marketplace. The occurrence of any supply
problems for the Company's products, as well as a lack of semiconductor
manufacturers' sales focus, may have an adverse effect on the Company's
operating results.

<PAGE> 8
The Company expects that international sales will continue to represent
a significant portion of total revenues. To date, all of the Company's revenues
have been denominated in U.S. dollars and most costs have been incurred in U.S.
dollars. It is the Company's expectation that revenues will continue to be
denominated in U.S. dollars for the foreseeable future. The Company intends to
actively monitor its foreign exchange exposure and to take appropriate action to
reduce its foreign exchange risk, if such risk becomes material.
The Company also is experiencing increased costs associated with its
efforts to research, investigate and evaluate new technologies and companies
for potential acquisition, all as part of the Company's ongoing efforts to
expand its technology offerings.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
Revenues
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1997 were $2,505,656
compared to $1,451,171 for the three months ended September 30, 1996, an
increase of 72.7%. This increase resulted primarily from the growth of the
licensee base and increased shipments of products incorporating SRS on which
royalties are paid by licensees. Of the $2,505,656 in revenues for the three
months ended September 30, 1997, $575,000 related to one time license fees and
$1,930,656 related to on-going royalties.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales consists primarily of fees paid to third party
representatives for sales administration and support. Cost of sales for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 were $71,161 compared to $30,583 for the
three months ended September 30, 1996, an increase of 132.7%. Cost of sales were
2.8% of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to
2.1% for the three months ended September 30, 1996. This increase resulted from
the increase in license revenue on which the Company pays fees to third party
representatives.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist of contracted services and salaries
of marketing personnel (including sales commissions), customer service
activities, and advertising, promotional, marketing and trade show costs. Sales
and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1997 were
$400,284 compared to $230,044 for the three months ended September 30, 1996, an
increase of 74.0%. The increase from the three months ended September 30, 1996
to the three months ended September 30, 1997 was primarily attributable to
increased staffing to promote new technologies, increased travel costs to
support our global presence and an increase in marketing and promotional
activities aimed at establishing SRS as an international standard. As a
percentage of total revenues, sales and marketing expenses remained relatively
flat at 16.0% in the three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to 15.9% in
the three months ended September 30, 1996 as the Company leveraged it's expenses
on higher sales volumes.
8
<PAGE> 9
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries paid to
personnel engaged in research, development and engineering activities, amounts
paid to consultants and the cost of materials used in the development of audio
technologies. Research and development expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 were $116,137 compared to $122,580 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996, a decrease of 5.3%. The decrease from the three months ended
September 30, 1996 to the three months ended September 30, 1997 was due to a
reduction in headcount partially offset by increased expenses related to
development activities currently underway for new products. As a percentage of
total revenues, research and development expenses decreased to 4.6% in the three
months ended September 30, 1997 from 8.4% in the three months ended September
30, 1996 due to the reduction in headcount and the fact that the Company
leveraged its expenses on higher sales volumes.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and
facility costs for administrative, and executive personnel, as well as certain
consulting expenses, insurance costs, professional fees and other costs. General
and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1997 were
$636,739 compared to $420,880 for the three months ended September 30, 1996, an
increase of 51.3%. This increase from the three months ended September 30, 1996
to the three months ended September 30, 1997 was attributable to increased
headcount, increases in all facility related expenses associated with the
Company occupying more space under their lease agreement dated May 30, 1997,
increases in professional fees and increased expenses associated with the
Company's status as a publicly-traded company. As a percentage of total
revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased to 25.4% in the three
months ended September 30, 1997 from 29.0% in the three months ended September
30, 1996 as the Company leveraged its expenses on higher sales volumes.
Interest Income, net
Interest income was $276,471 for the three months ended September 30,
1997 compared to interest income of $118,045 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 an increase of 134.2%. This increase represents the
difference in earned interest for a full quarter in 1997 as opposed to a partial
quarter's worth of earnings in 1996. The interest is earned on investment of the
proceeds from the initial public offering which took place on August 8, 1996.
Provision for Income Taxes
Income tax expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1997 were
$475,131 compared to $132,520 for the three months ended September 30, 1996, an
increase of 258.5%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September
30, 1997, which is based on current estimates of the annual effective income tax
rate, was 30.5% compared to 17.3% for the three months ended September 30, 1996.
Estimated higher pre-tax earnings for 1997 and the full utilization of the net
operating loss carryforwards in 1996 were responsible for the increase in the
estimated effective rate.

<PAGE> 10
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
Revenues
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were $6,833,555
compared to $3,550,725 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, an increase
of 92.5%. This increase resulted primarily from the growth of the licensee base
and increased shipments of products incorporating SRS on which royalties are
paid by licensees. Of the $6,833,555 in revenues for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, $1,085,000 related to one time license fees and $5,748,555
related to on-going royalties.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were $186,240
compared to $52,887 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, an increase of
252.1%. Cost of sales were 2.7% of total revenues for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 compared to 1.5% for the nine months ended September 30,
1996. This increase resulted from the increase in license revenue on which the
Company pays fees to third party representatives.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 were $1,190,178 compared to $720,715 for the nine months ended September
30, 1996, an increase of 65.1%. The increase from the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 to the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was primarily
attributable to increased headcount to promote new technologies, increased
travel costs to support our global presence and an increase in marketing and
promotional activities aimed at establishing SRS as an international standard.
As a percentage of total revenues, sales and marketing expenses decreased to
17.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from 20.3% in the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 as the Company leveraged its expenses on higher sales
volumes.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 were $414,516 compared to $345,229 for the nine months ended September
30, 1996, an increase of 20.1%. The increase from the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 to the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was related to a
decrease in headcount offset by an increase in expenses associated with the
internal development of new and existing technologies. As a percentage of total
revenues, research and development expenses decreased to 6.1% in the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 from 9.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 1996
as the Company leveraged its expenses on higher sales volumes.

<PAGE> 11
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 were $1,842,272 compared to $1,093,400 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, an increase of 68.5%. This increase from the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 to the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was
primarily attributable to increased headcount and related expenses, increases in
professional fees and increased expenses associated with the Company's status as
a publicly-traded company. As a percentage of total revenues, general and
administrative expenses decreased to 27.0% in the nine months ended September
30, 1997 from 30.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as the Company
leveraged its expenses on higher sales volumes.
Interest Income, net
Interest income was $806,712 for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 compared to $116,818 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This
increase is due to interest earned on investing the proceeds from the initial
public offering which took place on August 8, 1996.
Provision for Income Taxes
Income tax expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were
$1,381,356 compared to $315,455 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, an
increase of 337.9%. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September
30, 1997, which is based on current estimates of the annual effective income tax
rate, was 34.5% compared to 21.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
Estimated higher pre-tax earnings for 1997 and the full utilization of the net
operating loss carryforwards in 1996 were responsible for the increase in the
estimated effective rate.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
From inception through August 1996, the Company financed its operations
primarily through the private placement of equity securities. In August 1996,
the Company completed an initial public offering of 3,107,452 shares of common
stock at $8.00 per share, from which net proceeds to the Company were $22.1
million.
The Company's principal source of liquidity at September 30, 1997
consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $4.1 million and long-term investments
of approximately $21.6 million.
The Company finances its operations primarily through the cash provided
by its operations. The Company's operating activities provided $1,357,619 in
cash for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and $2,351,469 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. The $993,850 decrease in cash provided by
operations was due to the increase in royalties receivable partially offset by
net income and the increase in income taxes payable. The Company experienced an
increase in royalties receivable due to the slow payment of royalties by certain
of its licensees. The Company does not believe that future slow payments, should
they continue, will have a negative impact on the Company's ability to finance
its operations during the foreseeable future. The Company has no significant
commitments for capital expenditures.

Of the $1,357,619 cash flow generated from operations during the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, the Company invested $580,256 in long-term
investments. The Company has adopted investment guidelines which restrict the
types and quality of investments the Company is authorized to enter into. The
Company's long-term investments consist primarily of municipal bonds rated a
minimum of A1.
The Company currently does not have commitments for credit facilities,
such as revolving credit agreements or lines of credit that could provide
additional working capital. The Company believes that the current cash balances
and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet the Company's operating
and capital requirements for the foreseeable future.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On August 8, 1996, the effective date of the Company's Registration
Statement on Form SB-2 (Registration No. 333-4974-LA), the Company completed an
initial public offering of 3,100,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001
per share, for $8.00 per share, netting proceeds to the Company after
underwriting discounts and expenses of approximately $22,100,000. Salomon
Brothers Inc. acted as the lead underwriter of the offering and Montgomery
Securities and Cruttenden Roth Incorporated acted as co-managers of the
offering. The closing of the offering occurred on August 14, 1996. The Company
granted the underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase up to an
additional 465,000 shares of common stock (all of which were included in the
above-referenced registration statement). The underwriters exercised their
over-allotment option on August 22, 1996 to purchase an additional 346,500
shares of common stock of the Company for $8.00 per share, of which 7,452 were
original, newly-issued shares (netting proceeds to the Company after
underwriting discounts and expenses of approximately $55,443) and 339,048 were
previously-issued shares sold for the selling stockholders. The closing of the
shares related to the offer-allotment option occurred on August 28, 1996. In
connection with the offering, a reasonable estimate of the amount of expenses
incurred for the Company's account were as follows: $1,740,173 attributable to
underwriting discounts and commissions and $1,062,190 attributed to other
expenses. No expenses were attributable to finders' fees or expenses paid to
or for underwriters. All such expenses were direct or indirect payment to
others (as opposed to payments to directors, officers, general partners of the
Company or their associates, 10% or more shareholders or affiliates of the
Company). The net proceeds were invested in cash and Municipal Bonds. No
material changes have been made in the use of proceeds since the initial
investments.
