          and are subject to audit. In the opinion of management, all
          adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary
          to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and
          cash flows at March 31, 2000 and for all periods presented have been
          made. The income from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2000
          is not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full
          year.

          Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
          financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
          accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested
          that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in
          conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included
          in the Registrant's June 30, 1999, Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     2.   EARNINGS PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE

              Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted
          average number of common shares outstanding. The weighted average
          number of common shares outstanding for the quarters ending March 31,
          2000 and 1999 were 2,460,567 and 3,091,447, respectively. For the nine
          months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, the weighted average number of
          common shares outstanding were 2,595,184 and 3,150,144, respectively.
          When dilutive, stock options are included as share equivalents using
          the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents of 60,052 and
          42,801 related to stock option grants were included in the computation
          of the average number of shares outstanding for diluted earnings per
          share for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
          Common stock equivalents 59,432 and 38,765 related to stock option
          grants were included in the computation of the average number of
          shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share for the nine months
          ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

     4.   STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

          The Company has an agreement with its Chairman to repurchase stock
          from his estate in the event of his death. The repurchase price is 95%
          of the fair market value of the common stock on the date that notice
          to repurchase is provided to the Company. The total number of shares
          to be repurchased shall be sufficient to provide proceeds which are
          the lesser of $2,500,000 or the amount of estate taxes and
          administrative expenses incurred by his estate. The Company is
          obligated to pay in cash 25% of the total amount due and to execute a
          promissory note at the prime rate of interest for the balance. The
          Company maintains a $1,150,000 life insurance policy to fund a
          substantial portion of this obligation. At March 31, 2000 and June 30,
          1999, $1,490,000 has been classified as a Contingently Redeemable
          Equity Interest reflecting the estimated obligation in the event of
          execution of the agreement.

     5.   DEFERRED COMPENSATION

          In 1991, the Board of Directors agreed to continue John C. Koss'
          current base salary in the event he becomes disabled prior to age 70.
          After age 70, Mr. Koss shall receive his current base salary for the
          remainder of his life, whether or not he becomes disabled. The Company
          is currently recognizing an annual expense of $115,080 in connection
          with this agreement, which represents the present value of the
          anticipated future payments. At March 31, 2000 and June 30, 1999,
          respectively, the related liabilities in the amounts of $967,770 and
          $881,460 have been included in deferred compensation and other
          liabilities on the accompanying balance sheets.

                        KOSS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                                    FORM 10-Q
                                 March 31, 2000
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Financial Condition and Liquidity

Cash generated by operating activities during the nine months ended March 31,
2000 amounted to $6,292,120. Working capital was $19,967,144 at March 31, 2000,
a decrease of $1,018,015 from the balance at June 30, 1999. The decrease in
working capital is primarily attributable to the decrease in inventory. The cash
necessary to fund the Company's operating activities fluctuates from time to
time; however, as a general rule, the Company expects to generate adequate
amounts of cash to meet future operating needs. The Company maintains sufficient
borrowing capacity to fund any shortfall.

Capital expenditures for new property and equipment (including production
tooling) were $279,405 for the nine months. Budgeted capital expenditures for
fiscal year 2000 are $832,100. The Company expects to generate sufficient
operating funds to fulfill these expenditures.

Stockholders' investment decreased to $19,695,735 at March 31, 2000, from
$21,180,935 at June 30, 1999. The decrease reflects the effect of net income,
the purchase and retirement of common stock, and the exercise of stock options
for the nine months.

The Company amended its existing credit facility, extending the maturity date of
the unsecured line of credit to November 1, 2001. This credit facility provides
for borrowings up to a maximum of $10,000,000. The Company can use this credit
facility for working capital purposes or for the purchase of its own stock
pursuant to the Company's stock repurchase program. This credit facility was
increased from $8,000,000 to $10,000,000 as a result of combining the Company's
$8,000,000 working capital credit facility with the Company's $2,000,000 stock
repurchase credit facility. Borrowings under this credit facility bear interest
at the bank's prime rate, or LIBOR plus 1.75%. This credit facility includes
certain financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum
tangible net worth and specified current, interest coverage, and leverage
ratios. There was no utilization of this credit facility at March 31, 2000.

In April of 1995, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program
authorizing the Company to purchase from time to time up to $2,000,000 of its
common stock for its own account. In January of 1996, the Board of Directors
approved a $1,000,000 increase in the stock repurchase program, increasing the
total amount from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000. In July of 1997, the Board of
Directors approved a $2,000,000 increase in the stock repurchase program,
increasing the total amount from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000. In January of 1998,
the Board of Directors approved an increase of an additional $2,000,000,
increasing the total stock repurchase program from $5,000,000 to $7,000,000. In
August of 1998, the Board of Directors approved an increase of $3,000,000 in the
Company's stock repurchase program, increasing the program from $7,000,000 to
$10,000,000. In April of 1999, the Board of Directors increased the stock
repurchase program by $5,000,000 from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000. In October of
1999, the Board of Directors increased the stock repurchase program by another
$5,000,000, up to a



                                     8 of 11

maximum of $20,000,000. The Company intends to effectuate all stock purchases
either on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, and
intends to finance all stock purchases through its own cash flow or by borrowing
for such purchases. For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Company purchased
185,500 shares of its common stock at an average gross price of $14.69 per share
(and an average net price of $14.69 per share), and retired all such shares.

From the commencement of the Company's stock repurchase program through March
31, 2000, the Company has purchased and retired a total of 1,749,998 shares for
a total gross purchase price of $20,425,594 (representing an average gross
purchase price of $11.67 per share) and a total net purchase price of
$17,285,872 (representing an average net purchase price of $9.88 per share). The
difference between the total gross purchase price and the total net purchase
price reflects the lower cost to the Company from purchasing stock from certain
employees who have exercised stock options pursuant to the Company's stock
option program. In determining the total dollar amount available for purchases
under the stock repurchase program, the Company uses the total net purchase
price paid by the Company for all stock purchases, as authorized by the Board of
Directors.

The Company also has an Employee Stock Ownership and Trust ("ESOP") pursuant to
which shares of the Company's stock are purchased by the ESOP for allocation to
the accounts of ESOP participants. For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the
ESOP did not purchase any shares of the Company's stock.

Results of Operations

Net sales for the third quarter ended March 31, 2000 rose 8% to $8,289,742 from
$7,679,636 for the same period in 1999. Net sales for the nine months ended
March 31, 2000 were $25,265,601, up 1% compared with $25,097,558 during the same
nine months one year ago.

Gross profit as a percent of net sales was 43% for the quarter ended March 31,
2000 compared with 40% for the same period in the prior year. For the nine month
period ended March 31, 2000, the gross profit percentage was 41% compared with
41% for the same period in 1999.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31,
2000 were $1,999,384 or 24% of net sales, as against $1,857,875 or 24% of net
sales for the same period in 1999. For the nine month period ended March 31,
2000, such expenses were $5,756,994 or 23% of net sales, as against $5,964,629
or 24% of net sales, for the same period in 1999.

For the third quarter ended March 31, 2000, income from operations was
$1,541,432 versus $1,214,045 for the same period in the prior year. Income from
operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 was $4,559,847 as compared
to $4,414,835 for the same period in 1999.

Interest expense amounted to $0 for the quarter as compared to $3,282 for the
same period in the prior year. For the nine month period, the interest expense
amounted to $0 compared with $59,899 for the same period in the prior year. The
decrease is a result of no borrowing activity this year as compared to the same
period last year.
