BUSINESS. GENERAL As used herein unless the context otherwise requires, the term “Company” means Koss Corporation and its subsidiary, Koss U.K. Limited. The Company formed Koss U.K. Limited to comply with certain European Union (EU) requirements. The entity is non-operating and holds no assets. The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1971. The Company operates in the audio/video industry segment of the home entertainment industry through its design, manufacture and sale of stereo headphones and related accessory products. The Company reports its results as a single reporting segment, as the Company’s principal business line is the design, manufacture and sale of stereo headphones and related accessories. The Company’s products are sold through national retailers, U.S. distributors, international distributors, audio specialty stores, the internet, direct mail catalogs, regional department store chains, discount department stores, grocery stores, electronics retailers, military exchanges and prisons under the “Koss” name. The Company also sells products to distributors for resale to school systems, and directly to other manufacturers for inclusion with their own products. The Company has more than 200 domestic dealers and its products are carried in approximately 12,000 domestic retail outlets and numerous retailers worldwide. International markets are served by domestic sales representatives and a sales office in Ireland. The Company utilizes independent distributors in several foreign countries. Approximately 85% of the Company’s fiscal year 2015 sales were from stereo headphones used for listening to music. The remaining 15% of the Company's sales were from headphones used in communications, education settings, and in conjunction with metal detectors. The products are not significantly differentiated by their retail sales channel or application with the exception of products sold to school systems and prisons. There are no other product line differentiations other than the quality of the sound produced by the stereo headphone itself, which is highly subjective. In fiscal year 2012, the Company launched the Striva products which would allow the consumer to listen to the stereo headphones directly from the World Wide Web using Wi-Fi and began amortization of the related capitalized software. The Company subsequently determined that the capitalized software needed to be replaced by a new architecture being developed. As a result, an impairment charge was recorded to expense in the year ended June 30, 2014, to write off the remaining capitalized software and the related inventory and tooling. The Company sources complete stereo headphones manufactured to its specifications from various manufacturers in Asia as well as raw materials used to produce stereo headphones at its plant in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. During the second half of the year ended June 30, 2014, and early in the year ended June 30, 2015, headphones were also produced at a manufacturing facility in Juarez, Mexico. Management believes that it has sources of complete stereo headphones and raw materials that are adequate for its needs. There are no employment or compensation commitments between the Company and its dealers. The Company has several independent manufacturers’ representatives as part of its distribution efforts. The Company typically signs one year contracts with these manufacturers’ representatives. The arrangements with foreign distributors do not contemplate that the Company pays any compensation other than any profit the distributors make upon their sale of the Company’s products. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY John C. Koss is recognized for creating the stereo headphone industry with the first SP/3 stereo headphone in 1958. The Company regularly applies for registration of its trademarks in many countries around the world, and over the years the Company has had numerous trademarks registered and patents issued in North America, South America, Asia, Europe, Africa, and Australia. The Company currently has 506 trademarks registered in 99 countries around the world and 138 patents in 25 countries. The Company has trademarks to protect the brand name, Koss, and its logo on its products. The Company also holds many design patents that protect the unique visual appearance of some of its products. These trademarks and patents are important to differentiate the Company from its competitors. Certain of the Company’s trademarks are of material value and importance to the conduct of its business. The Company considers protection of its proprietary developments important; however, the Company’s business is not, in the opinion of management, materially dependent upon any single trademark or patent. During the year ended June 30, 2015 , the Company took steps to update and monitor its patents and trademarks to protect its intellectual property around the world. 5  SEASONALITY Although retail sales of consumer electronics have typically been higher during the holiday season, stereo headphones have also seen increased purchases throughout the year. Management believes that the Company's business and industry segment are no longer seasonal as evidenced by the fact that net sales for the last couple of years, including the year ended June 30, 2015 , were almost equally split between the first and second halves of the year. Management believes that the reason for this level performance of sales to retailers and distributors is related to the fact that stereo headphones have become replacement items for portable electronic products. Therefore, upgrades and replacements appear to have as much interest over the course of the year as gifts of stereo headphones during the holiday season. WORKING CAPITAL AND BACKLOG The Company’s working capital needs do not differ substantially from those of its competitors in the industry and generally reflect the need to carry significant amounts of inventory to meet delivery requirements of its customers. From time to time, although rarely, the Company may extend payment terms to its customers for a special promotion. For instance, the Company has in the past offered a 90-120 day payment period for certain customers, such as computer retailers and office supply stores. Based on historical trends, management does not expect these practices to have a material effect on net sales or net income. The Company’s backlog of orders as of June 30, 2015 , is not significant in relation to net sales during fiscal year 2015 or projected fiscal year 2016 net sales. CUSTOMERS The Company markets a line of products used by consumers to listen to music, DVDs in vehicles, sound bytes on computer systems, and other audio related media. The Company distributes these products through retail channels in the U.S. and independent distributors throughout the rest of the world. The Company markets its products to approximately 12,000 domestic retailers and numerous retailers worldwide. During fiscal year 2015 , the Company’s sales to its largest single customer, Tura Scandinavia AB, were approximately 15% of net sales. In fiscal year 2014 , net sales to Tura Scandinavia AB accounted for 10% of the Company's net sales. The Company is dependent upon its ability to retain a base of retailers and distributors to sell the Company’s line of products. Loss of retailers and distributors means loss of product placement. The Company has broad distribution across many channels including specialty stores, mass merchants, and electronics stores. Management believes that any loss of revenues would be partially offset by a corresponding decrease, on a percentage basis, in expenses; thereby partially reducing the impact on the Company’s income from operations. The five largest customers of the Company (including Tura Scandinavia AB) accounted for approximately 45% and 37% of net sales in fiscal years 2015 and 2014 , respectively. COMPETITION The Company focuses on the stereo headphone industry. In the stereo headphone market, the Company competes directly with approximately six major competitors, several of which are large and diversified and have greater total assets and resources than the Company. The extent to which retailers and consumers view the Company as an innovative vendor of high quality stereo headphone products, and a provider of excellent after sales customer service, is the extent to which the Company maintains a competitive advantage. The Company relies upon its unique sound, quality workmanship, brand identification, engineering skills, and customer service to maintain its competitive position. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT The amount expensed on engineering and research activities relating to the development of new products or the improvement of existing products was $1,024,885 during fiscal year 2014 . These activities were conducted by both Company personnel and outside consultants. There were no expenses for research and development activities during fiscal year 2015 . The Company expects to incur research and development costs related to its traditional wired headphones during fiscal year 2016 as it is planning to introduce several new product offerings. Spending on the wireless Wi-Fi products has been suspended and is not expected to resume in fiscal year 2016. 6  ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS The Company believes that it has materially complied with all currently existing federal, state and local statutes and regulations regarding environmental standards and occupational safety and health matters to which it is subject. During the fiscal years 2015 and 2014 , the amounts incurred in complying with federal, state and local statutes and regulations pertaining to environmental standards and occupational safety and health laws and regulations did not materially affect the Company’s operating results or financial condition. EMPLOYEES As of June 30, 2015 , the Company employed 54 non-union employees, 6 of which were part-time employees. The Company also engages temporary personnel. FOREIGN SALES The Company’s competitive position and risks relating to its business in foreign markets are comparable to those in the domestic market. In addition, the governments of foreign nations may elect to erect trade barriers on imports. The creation of additional barriers would reduce the Company’s net sales and net income. In addition, any fluctuations in currency exchange rates could affect the pricing of the Company’s products and divert customers who might choose to purchase lower-priced, less profitable products, and could affect overall demand for the Company’s products. For further information, see Part II, Item 7 and Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements. The Company has a small sales office in Ireland to service the international export marketplace. The Company is not aware of any material risks in maintaining this office. Loss of this office would result in a transfer of sales and marketing responsibility. The Company sells its products to independent distributors in countries and regions outside the United States including Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Australia, South America, Latin America, the Caribbean, Canada and Mexico. During the last two fiscal years, net sales of all Koss products were distributed as follows: The Company has a manufacturing facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Company uses contract manufacturing facilities in the People’s Republic of China, Taiwan and South Korea. Since these independent suppliers are not located in the United States, we are at risk of business interruptions due to natural disasters, war, disease and government intervention through tariffs or trade restrictions that are of less concern domestically. The Company maintains finished goods inventory in its U.S. facility to mitigate this risk. The Company’s goal is to stock finished goods inventory at an average of approximately 90 days demand per item. Recovery of a single facility through replacement of a supplier in the event of a disaster or suspension of supply could take 120 days. The Company believes that it could restore production of its top ten selling models (which represent approximately 58% of the Company’s 2015 net sales) within one year. The Company is also at risk if trade restrictions are introduced on its products based upon country of origin. In addition, the Company may not be able to pass along most increases in tariffs and freight charges to the Company’s customers, which would directly affect profits. 7 2015 2014 United States $ 16,779,312 $ 15,514,051 Sweden 3,677,225 2,310,064 Canada 498,026 604,971 Russia 478,012 377,135 United Kingdom 465,647 707,724 Czech Republic 441,754 1,309,697 Cyprus 414,787 1,975,736 All other countries 1,475,293 1,041,504 Net sales $ 24,230,056 $ 23,840,882  AVAILABLE INFORMATION The Company’s internet website is http://www.koss.com. The Company makes available free of charge through its internet website the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, proxy statements and all amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after they are electronically filed with (or furnished to) the Securities and Exchange Commission. These reports and other information regarding the Company are also available on the SEC’s internet website at http://www.sec.gov. The information on the Company's website is not part of this or any other report the Company files with or furnishes to the Securities and Exchange Commission. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES. The Company leases its facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from Koss Holdings, LLC, which is wholly-owned by the former chairman. On May 15, 2012 , the lease was renewed extending the expiration to June 30, 2018 . The lease extension maintained the rent at a fixed rate of $380,000 per year and it is being accounted for as an operating lease. The Company is responsible for all property maintenance, insurance, taxes, and other normal expenses related to ownership. All facilities are in good repair and, in the opinion of management, are suitable and adequate for the Company’s business purposes. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. As of June 30, 2015 , the Company is involved in certain legal matters against third parties related to the unauthorized transactions as previously reported. A description of these legal matters is included at Note 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included herein, which description is incorporated herein by reference. 8  PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES. MARKET INFORMATION ON COMMON STOCK The Company’s common stock is traded on The NASDAQ Stock Market under the trading symbol KOSS. There were 440 record holders of the Company’s common stock as of August 17, 2015 . This number does not include individual participants in security position listings. The quarterly high and low sale prices of the Company’s common stock for the last two fiscal years as well as dividends declared are shown below. The Company began paying dividends for the quarter ended September 30, 2002, and paid a dividend for each quarter since, until the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014. The decision to pay dividends and the amount of such dividends are within the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, who meet at least quarterly. The decision to pay dividends will depend on the Company’s operating results, financial condition, tax considerations, alternative uses for such funds, and other factors the Board of Directors deem relevant, and there can be no assurance that dividends will be paid in the future. COMPANY REPURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES (1) In April 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. Subsequently, the Board of Directors periodically has approved increases in the amount authorized for repurchase under the program. As of June 30, 2015 , the Board had authorized the repurchase of an aggregate of $45,500,000 of common stock under the stock repurchase program, of which $43,360,247 had been expended. No purchases were made during the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 . 9 Per Share Quarter Ended High Low Dividend September 30, 2013 $ 5.35 $ 4.88 $ 0.06 December 31, 2013 $ 5.26 $ 4.75 $ 0.06 March 31, 2014 $ 6.59 $ 4.38 $ 0.06 June 30, 2014 $ 5.15 $ 2.86 $ — September 30, 2014 $ 3.45 $ 1.85 $ — December 31, 2014 $ 2.15 $ 1.26 $ — March 31, 2015 $ 2.90 $ 1.80 $ — June 30, 2015 $ 3.50 $ 2.21 $ — Period (2015) Total Number of Shares Purchased Average Price Paid per Share Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plan (1) Approximate Dollar Value of Shares Available under Repurchase Plan April 1-April 30 — $ — — $ 2,139,753 May 1-May 31 — $ — — $ 2,139,753 June 1-June 30 — $ — — $ 2,139,753  The purpose of this discussion and analysis is to enhance the understanding and evaluation of the results of operations, financial position, cash flows, indebtedness and other key financial information of the Company for fiscal years 2015 and 2014 . Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Overview The Company developed stereo headphones in 1958 and has been a leader in the industry. We market a complete line of high-fidelity headphones, wireless Bluetooth® speakers, computer headsets, telecommunications headsets, active noise canceling headphones, wireless headphones and compact disc recordings of American Symphony Orchestras on the Koss Classics label. Koss operates as one business segment. As headphones become more integral to use of music listening devices in the portable electronics market, the business volume becomes variable throughout the year. Changes in volume are more dependent on adding new customers or changes in economic conditions than they are on seasonality or the traditional holiday shopping season. Many of the Company's products could be viewed as essential by the consumer and others are more of a discretionary spend. The results of the Company's operations are therefore susceptible to consumer confidence and macroeconomic factors. These economic factors have been evident in results during fiscal year 2015 . As a result of the unauthorized transactions that the Company previously reported, the Company has on-going activity to recover the amounts lost in the unauthorized transactions. These activities are explained in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Fiscal Year 2015 Summary 10 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. • Net sales increased 1.6% to $24,230,056 on volume gains at a Scandinavian distributor as well as at US distributors offsetting declines in certain export markets. • Gross profit as a percent of sales increased 36.1% to 34.9% due to the impairment charge, relating to capitalized software, tooling and inventory, incurred during fiscal year 2014 , and reduction in operating costs in fiscal year 2015 . • Selling, general and administrative spending was lower due to a reduction in spending on Wifi product development, reduction of the 401k match, closure of the sales office in Switzerland, lower outside service fees and the favorable impact of various cost reduction efforts. • Unauthorized transaction related recoveries decreased as sale of seized property winds down.  Consolidated Results The following table presents selected consolidated financial data for each of the past two fiscal years: 2015 Results of Operations Compared with 2014 Net sales for 2015 increased primarily due to increases in sales volume to distributors in the U.S. offsetting declines in several export markets. In the domestic market, net sales were up approximately $1,265,000 over last year with U.S. distributors showing strong increases. The strong sales through distributors, e-commerce, original equipment manufacturers (OEM), certain mass retailers and grocery chains helped to offset the decreased sales in one mass retailer and the loss of sales through electronics and drug store chains. Last year's promotional load-in of products net of returns to a domestic drug store customer resulted in net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 of approximately $426,000 compared to net sales of $68,000 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 . The distributor in Scandinavia appears to have worked through their excess inventory and had stronger sales in the current year. Management believes many other customers in Europe are dealing with the impact of weak economies, which affect sell-through and their ability to properly balance inventories. The distributor in Ukraine continues to be affected by political unrest in that region. In addition, sales to our distributor in the Czech Republic were down considerably as they adjust inventory levels following two very strong years ended June 30, 2014. Gross profit as a percent of sales in 2015 was 34.9% , which was 36.1% higher than 2014 . The increase in gross profit percentage was primarily due to the impairment charge related to the WiFi development and inventory which was charged to cost of goods sold in 2014. In 2014, the Company also incurred costs for the operations in Mexico that were operating at less than optimal levels due to the lower sales levels, especially for products in export markets. The Company took impairment charges for capitalized software, inventory and related items during the fiscal year ended 2014. It was determined that the capitalized software needed to be replaced by a new architecture as it was unlikely that products would be marketed and sold using the architecture as currently configured. As a result, the capitalized software, inventory and tooling were charged to expense. The Company may still develop the revised software platform, but has temporarily suspended this research and development effort until the base business is restored to more profitable levels. Software development expenditures incurred since December 31, 2013 were expensed as incurred and future software development expenditures will be expensed as incurred as well. Gross profit as a percent of sales was higher than last year adjusted for the impairment charge. The higher gross profit margin was primarily the result of costs for manufacturing operations in Mexico in fiscal 2014. During fiscal year 2014, the Company commenced manufacturing operations in Juarez, Mexico that focused on certain products aimed at our export markets. The large reduction in export sales did not allow the Company to experience an adequate return on its investment in the Mexican 11 Consolidated Performance Summary 2015 2014 Net sales $24,230,056 $23,840,882 Net increase (decrease) % 1.6 % (33.3 )% Gross profit (loss) $8,448,567 $(281,819) Gross profit (loss) as % of net sales 34.9 % (1.2 )% Selling, general and administrative expenses $7,904,739 $10,468,708 Selling, general and administrative expenses as % of net sales 32.6 % 43.9 % Unauthorized transaction related costs $152,492 $388,287 Unauthorized transaction related recoveries $(121,465) $(1,134,082) Unauthorized transaction related costs (recoveries), net $31,027 $(745,795) Income (loss) from operations $512,801 $(10,004,732) Income (loss) from operations as % of net sales 2.1 % (42.0 )% Other expense (income) $12,813 $(49,589) Income tax provision (benefit) $17,375 $(4,401,589) Income tax provision (benefit) as % of income before taxes 3.5 % 44.2 %  production facility. As a result, we have temporarily suspended production at the facility. The Company incurred approximately $1,523,000 of expense in fiscal year 2014 for the Mexican operations. In fiscal 2015, the Mexican operations expenses were approximately $150,000. Selling, general and administrative expenses were lower than the prior fiscal year. The Company reduced spending on the development of the STRIVA product line resulting in a decrease of approximately $941,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 . Legal fees and outside service fees declined by approximately $425,000 due to changes in the scope of work as well as price discounts. The 401(k) match was lower by approximately $340,000 resulting from a reduced match percentage during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 . Endorsement fees decreased by approximately $180,000. The Company did not participate in the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in fiscal 2015 which reduced expenses by approximately $167,000. The sales office in Switzerland was closed in fiscal year 2014, and fiscal year 2015 expenses were lower by approximately $131,000. Sales for Europe are now supported from an office in Ireland. Sales for Asia and Latin America are supported by U.S.-based personnel. The Company believes that most of the proceeds from asset forfeitures have been received as of June 30, 2015 . Proceeds from asset forfeitures are expected to be minimal in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016. The income from operations increased in 2015 from 2014 primarily due to the impairment charge recorded in 2014, suspending operations in Mexico and cost reductions described above. In 2014 , the Company decreased the interest it had accrued related to its tax reporting of the unauthorized transactions by $73,725 . The Company reversed accrued interest related to the tax returns as they were filed and based upon the expiration of the statute of limitations for certain returns. These impacts are described further in Note 12 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The effective income tax rate in 2015 was 3.5% which is comprised of the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34%, the effect of state income taxes, and the $175,000 decrease in unrecognized tax benefits. It is anticipated that the effective income tax rate will be approximately 37% in 2016 , which reflects the 35% federal rate and a more typical state tax rate. Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company's management uses the non-GAAP measurement of modified earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") to track performance from operations. EBITDA from operations, as calculated below, is one of the amended covenants in the Company's credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. This measurement excludes unusual and non-recurring expenses and recoveries related to the unauthorized transactions and the charge to expense for the impairment of capitalized software, inventory and related items. The following table reconciles net income (loss) for the periods presented (GAAP financial measure) to non-GAAP EBITDA from operations. Non-GAAP EBITDA from operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , was 7.2% and (11.2)% of net sales, respectively. This increase reflects the cost reductions achieved through suspending operations in Mexico, suspending development of the STRIVA product line and the other reductions in selling, general and administrative spending described above. 12 2015 2014 Net income (loss) $ 482,613 $ (5,553,554 ) Interest expense (income) 12,813 (49,589 ) Income tax provision (benefit) 17,375 (4,401,589 ) Unauthorized transaction related costs (recoveries), net 31,027 (745,795 ) Depreciation of equipment and leasehold improvements 559,631 734,664 Amortization of product software development expenditures — 364,539 Impairment of capitalized software, inventory and related items — 6,305,947 Stock-based compensation expense 630,539 684,554 EBITDA from operations $ 1,733,998 $ (2,660,823 )  Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash Flows The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for each of the past two fiscal years: Operating Activities During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 , the Company paid approximately $1.5 million for returned product received in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 , as the customer did not buy sufficient new products to offset these returns. In addition, the Company issued volume rebates for export customers and payments related to the suspension of operations in Mexico. These items were partially offset by receiving approximately $1.0 million of federal tax refunds. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 , cash provided by operations was primarily due to receiving the proceeds of the settlement of the lawsuit against the Company's former auditors. Pursuant to the settlement, in July 2013, the Company received gross proceeds of $8,500,000, or $6,380,000 net of associated legal fees. Investing Activities Cash used in investing activities was lower for 2015 as the Company decreased spending on tooling and equipment compared to 2014 . In 2016 , the Company has budgeted $600,000 for tooling and leasehold improvements. The Company expects to generate sufficient funds through operations to fund these expenditures. Financing Activities The payment of quarterly dividends resulted in a net use of cash in financing activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 . The Company has suspended payments of quarterly dividends until operations and earnings improve. The Company will determine whether to declare and the amount of any future dividends based upon its assessment of the Company’s financial condition and liquidity, improvement in sales as a whole and in particular in the export markets, an increased generation of cash from operations and the Company’s earnings. As of June 30, 2015 , the Company had no outstanding borrowings on its bank line of credit facility. There were no purchases of common stock in 2015 or 2014 under the stock repurchase program. No stock options were exercised in 2015 or 2014 . Liquidity In addition to capital expenditures for tooling and investment in software development, the Company has interest payments when it uses its line of credit facility. The Company believes that cash generated from operations, together with borrowings available under its credit facility, should provide it with adequate liquidity to meet operating requirements, debt service requirements, and capital expenditures. Management is focusing on increasing sales especially in the export markets, reducing the amount of capital expenditures, increasing the generation of cash from operations, and improving the Company’s overall earnings to help improve the Company’s liquidity. The Company regularly evaluates new product offerings, inventory levels and capital expenditures to ensure that it is effectively allocating resources in line with current market conditions. Whether there is adequate liquidity to resume paying quarterly dividends, and if so, the amount per share of such dividends, will be dependent on certain factors, including the Company's financial condition and liquidity, an improvement in sales as a whole and in particular in the export markets, an increased generation of cash from operations and the Company's overall earnings. 13 2015 2014 Total cash provided by (used in): Operating activities $ (340,590 ) $ 3,591,432 Investing activities (558,555 ) (779,808 ) Financing activities — (1,771,849 ) Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents $ (899,145 ) $ 1,039,775  Credit Facility On May 12, 2010, the Company entered into a secured credit facility ("Credit Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Lender”). The Credit Agreement provided for an $8,000,000 revolving secured credit facility and for letters of credit for the benefit of the Company of up to a sublimit of $2,000,000 . On July 24, 2013, the Credit Agreement was amended to extend the expiration to July 31, 2015. On July 23, 2014, the Credit Agreement was amended to reduce the facility to $5,000,000 and to amend certain financial covenants. On July 29, 2015, the Credit Agreement was amended to extend the expiration to July 31, 2016, and to amend certain financial covenants. The Company and the Lender also entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement dated May 12, 2010 under which the Company granted the Lender a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets in connection with the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement. The Company is currently in compliance with all covenants related to the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014 , there were no outstanding borrowings on the facility. Stock Repurchase Program In April 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. Subsequently, the Board of Directors periodically has approved increases of between $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 in the stock repurchase program. As of June 30, 2015 , the most recently approved increase was for additional purchases of $2,000,000 , which occurred in October 2006, for an aggregate maximum of $45,500,000 , of which $43,360,247 had been expended through June 30, 2015 . The Company intends to effect 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. There were no stock repurchases under the program in fiscal years 2015 and 2014 . As of June 30, 2015 , the Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase by the Company of up to $2,139,753 in Company common stock at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Future stock purchases under this program are dependent on management’s assessment of value versus market price. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements other than the lease for the facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Company leases the facility from Koss Holdings, LLC, which is wholly-owned by former chairman. On May 15, 2012 , the lease was renewed for a period of five years, ending June 30, 2018 , and is being accounted for as an operating lease. The lease extension maintained the rent at a fixed rate of $380,000 per year. The Company is responsible for all property maintenance, insurance, taxes and other normal expenses related to ownership. The facility is in good repair and, in the opinion of management, is suitable and adequate for the Company’s business purposes. Critical Accounting Policies Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to doubtful accounts, product returns, excess inventories, warranties, impairment of long-lived assets, deferred compensation, income taxes and other contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; shipment and delivery have occurred; the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and collectibility is reasonably assured. When these criteria are generally satisfied, the Company recognizes revenue. The Company also offers certain customers the right to return products that do not meet the standards agreed with the customer. The Company continuously monitors such product returns and cannot guarantee that they will continue to experience the same return rates that they have experienced in the past. Any significant increase in product quality failure rates and the resulting credit returns could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operating results for the period or periods in which such returns materialize. 14  The Company provides for certain sales incentives. The Company records a provision for estimated incentives based upon the incentives offered to customers on product related sales in the same period as the related revenues are recorded. The provision is recorded as a reduction of sales. The Company also records a provision for estimated sales returns and allowances on product related sales in the same period as the related revenues are recorded. These estimates are based on historical sales returns, analysis of credit memo data and other known factors. If the historical data the Company uses to calculate these estimates does not properly reflect future returns, adjustments may be required in future periods. Accounts Receivable The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by the review of the customer’s current credit information. The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon the Company’s historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. Accounts receivable are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is calculated based upon the Company’s evaluation of specific customer accounts where the Company has information that the customer may have an inability to meet its financial obligations. In these cases, management uses its judgment, based on the best available facts and circumstances and records a specific reserve for that customer against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount that is expected to be collected. These specific reserves are re-evaluated and adjusted as additional information is received that impacts the amount reserved. However, the ultimate collectibility of the unsecured receivable is dependent upon the financial condition of an individual customer, which could change rapidly and without warning. Inventories The Company values its inventories at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014 , 100% of the Company’s inventory was valued using LIFO. Valuing inventories at the lower of cost or market requires the use of estimates and judgment. The Company continues to use the same techniques to value inventory as have been used in the past. Our customers may cancel their orders or change purchase volumes. This, or certain additional actions or market developments, could create excess inventory levels, which would impact the valuation of our inventories. Any actions taken by our customers or market developments that could impact the value of our inventory are considered when determining the lower of cost or market valuations. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand and records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on historical and projected usage and production requirements. If the Company is not able to achieve its expectations of the net realizable value of the inventory at its current value, the Company would have to adjust its reserves accordingly. Product Software Development Costs Product software development costs consist of costs incurred by outside parties for the development of software embedded in or used to support new products. These assets have been evaluated to ensure that the capitalized costs do not exceed the estimated net realizable value of the related products. As part of the impairment analysis, we use an undiscounted cash flow model based on estimated net sales and gross profit to be derived in the future from the specific product and other estimated costs directly related to the product. Amortization was started in fiscal year 2012 with introduction of the first products at the end of April 2012. No amortization was recorded prior to the introduction of the new products. Inherent in the operating results forecasts are certain assumptions regarding revenue growth rates, projected future costs, costs to complete and projected long-term growth rates. In the year ended June 30, 2014, the Company determined that the capitalized software needed to be replaced by a new architecture under development. As a result, the remaining value of the capitalized software was expensed during the year ended June 30, 2014. Product Warranty Obligations Our products carry a lifetime warranty. We record accruals for potential warranty claims based on prior product returns experience. Warranty costs are accrued at the time revenue is recognized. These warranty costs are based upon management’s assessment of past claims and current experience. However, actual claims could be higher or lower than amounts estimated, as the amount and value of warranty claims are subject to variation as a result of many factors that cannot be predicted with certainty. 15  Income Taxes We estimate a provision for income taxes based on the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. If the actual results are different from these estimates, adjustments to the effective tax rate may be required in the period such determination is made. Additionally, discrete items are treated separately from the effective rate analysis and are recorded separately as an income tax provision or benefit at the time they are recognized. Deferred income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method whereby deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using statutory tax rates. Deferred income tax provisions are based on changes in the deferred tax assets and liabilities from period to period. Additionally, we analyze our ability to recognize the net deferred income tax assets created in each jurisdiction in which we operate to determine if valuation allowances are necessary based on the “more likely than not” criteria.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA. See the Consolidated Financial Statements attached hereto. ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE None. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are designed to ensure that (1) information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms; and (2) that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. The Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2015 . The Company’s management has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2015 were effective. Management’s Annual Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting . The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) and designing such internal controls to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of human error or the circumvention or overriding of controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving its control objectives. Management conducted its evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in the “1992 Internal Control-Integrated Framework,” the 2006 "Internal Control Over Financial Reporting - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies," and the "2013 COSO Framework & SOX Compliance," all issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). In connection with this evaluation, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2015 was effective. 17  PART III ITEM 10.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of its internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Koss Corporation and Subsidiary as of June 30, 2015 and 2014 and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP Milwaukee, Wisconsin August 27, 2015 20  KOSS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 21 Years Ended June 30, 2015 2014 Net sales $ 24,230,056 $ 23,840,882 Cost of goods sold 15,781,489 17,816,754 Impairment of capitalized software, inventory and related items — 6,305,947 Gross profit (loss) 8,448,567 (281,819 ) Operating expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses 7,904,739 10,468,708 Unauthorized transaction related costs (recoveries), net 31,027 (745,795 ) Total operating expenses 7,935,766 9,722,913 Income (loss) from operations 512,801 (10,004,732 ) Other expense (income): Interest expense (income) 12,813 (49,589 ) Income (loss) before income tax provision (benefit) 499,988 (9,955,143 ) Income tax provision (benefit) 17,375 (4,401,589 ) Net income (loss) $ 482,613 $ (5,553,554 ) Income (loss) per common share: Basic $ 0.07 $ (0.75 ) Diluted $ 0.07 $ (0.75 ) Dividends declared per common share $ — $ 0.18  KOSS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 22 As of June 30, 2015 2014 ASSETS Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,000,266 $ 1,899,411 Accounts receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts of $26,052 and $20,501, respectively 2,823,980 3,160,887 Inventories 7,182,440 7,054,932 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 348,044 148,200 Income taxes receivable 205,531 1,109,276 Deferred income taxes 2,045,316 2,576,023 Total current assets 13,605,577 15,948,729 Equipment and leasehold improvements, net 1,592,520 1,840,491 Other assets: Deferred income taxes 1,869,253 1,623,329 Cash surrender value of life insurance 5,359,663 4,977,409 Total other assets 7,228,916 6,600,738 Total assets $ 22,427,013 $ 24,389,958 LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Current liabilities: Accounts payable $ 2,172,254 $ 2,464,755 Accrued liabilities 1,575,027 3,853,473 Income taxes payable — 175,000 Total current liabilities 3,747,281 6,493,228 Long-term liabilities: Deferred compensation 2,107,486 2,320,091 Other liabilities 219,227 336,772 Total long-term liabilities 2,326,713 2,656,863 Total liabilities 6,073,994 9,150,091 Stockholders' equity: Common stock, $0.005 par value, authorized 20,000,000 shares;

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF BUSINESS — Koss Corporation (“Koss”), a Delaware corporation, and its 100% -owned subsidiary (collectively the “Company”), reports its finances as a single reporting segment, as the Company’s principal business line is the design, manufacture and sale of stereo headphones and related accessories. The Company leases its plant and office in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The domestic market is served by domestic sales representatives and independent manufacturers' representatives working directly with certain retailers, distributors, and original equipment manufacturers. International markets are served by domestic sales representatives and a sales office in Ireland which utilizes independent distributors in several foreign countries. The Company has one subsidiary, Koss U.K. Limited ("Koss UK"), which was formed to comply with certain European Union (EU) requirements. Koss U.K. is non-operating and holds no assets. BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Koss and its subsidiary, Koss UK, which is a 100% -owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. REVENUE RECOGNITION — The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; shipment and delivery have occurred; the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and collectibility is reasonably assured. When these criteria are generally satisfied, the Company recognizes revenue. The Company also offers certain customers the right to return products that do not meet the standards agreed with the customer. The Company continuously monitors such product returns and cannot guarantee that they will continue to experience the same return rates that they have experienced in the past. Any significant increase in product quality failure rates and the resulting credit returns could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operating results for the period or periods in which such returns materialize. The Company provides for certain sales incentives. The Company records a provision for estimated incentives based upon the incentives offered to customers on product related sales in the same period as the related revenues are recorded. The provision is recorded as a reduction of sales. The Company also records a provision for estimated sales returns and allowances on product related sales in the same period as the related revenues are recorded. These estimates are based on historical sales returns, analysis of credit memo data and other known factors. If the historical data the Company uses to calculate these estimates does not properly reflect future returns, adjustments may be required in future periods. SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEES AND COSTS — Shipping and handling costs charged to customers have been included in net sales. Shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company have been included in cost of goods sold. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT — Research and development activities charged to operations as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations amounted to $ 1,024,885 in fiscal year 2014 . There were no research and development activities charged to operations in fiscal year 2015 . ADVERTISING COSTS — Advertising costs included within selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations were $ 154,505 in 2015 and $ 211,196 in 2014 . Such costs are expensed as incurred. INCOME TAXES — The Company operates as a C Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Amounts provided for income tax expense are based on income reported for financial statement purposes and do not necessarily represent amounts currently payable under tax laws. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. The differences relate principally to different methods used for depreciation and amortization for income tax purposes, net operating losses, capitalization requirements of the Code, allowances for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, warranty reserves, and other income tax related carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON AND COMMON STOCK EQUIVALENT SHARE — Income (loss) per common and common stock equivalent share is calculated under the provisions of Topic 260 in the Accounting Standards Codification 25  ("ASC") which provides for calculation of “basic” and “diluted” income (loss) per share. Basic income (loss) per common and common stock equivalent share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (loss) per common and common stock equivalent share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. See Note 13 for additional information on income (loss) per common and common stock equivalent share. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS — The Company considers depository accounts and investments with a maturity at the date of acquisition and expected usage of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash on deposit at a commercial bank located in the United States of America. The Company periodically has cash balances in excess of insured amounts. The Company has not experienced and does not expect to incur any losses on these deposits. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE — Accounts receivable consists of unsecured trade receivables due from customers. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for significant past due receivable balances based on a review of the past due item and general economic conditions. See Note 3 for additional information on accounts receivable. INVENTORIES — The Company’s inventory is valued at the lower of last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) cost or market. The carrying value of inventory is reviewed for impairment on at least a quarterly basis or more frequently if warranted due to changes in market conditions. See Note 5 for additional information on inventory. EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS — Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Major expenditures for property and equipment and significant renewals are capitalized. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, their costs and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are included in operations. LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES — Life insurance policies are stated at cash surrender value or at the amount the Company would receive in the case of split-dollar arrangements. Increases in cash surrender value are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, which is where the annual premiums are recorded. PRODUCT WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS — Estimated future warranty costs related to products are charged to cost of goods sold during the period the related revenue is recognized. The product warranty liability reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable obligations under those warranties. See Note 10 for additional information on product warranty obligations. DEFERRED COMPENSATION — The Company’s deferred compensation liabilities are for a current and former officer and are calculated based on compensation, years of service and mortality tables. The related expense is calculated using the net present value of the expected payments and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 11 for additional information on deferred compensation. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS — Cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value based on the short maturity of these instruments. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS — The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. The Company evaluates the recoverability of equipment and leasehold improvements annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Management determines fair value using a undiscounted future cash flow analysis or other accepted valuation techniques. The Company recorded an impairment of capitalized software in the year ended June 30, 2014 , detailed in Note 4 . No impairments of the Company's long-lived assets were recorded in the year ended June 30, 2015 . LEGAL COSTS — All legal costs related to litigation are charged to operations as incurred, except settlements, which are expensed when a claim is probable and can be estimated. Recoveries of legal costs are recorded when the amount and items to be paid are confirmed by the insurance company. Proceeds from the settlement of legal disputes are recorded in income when the amounts are determinable and the collection is certain. 26  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION — The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan, which is described more fully in Note 14 . The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation". Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting period. USE OF ESTIMATES — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. RECLASSIFICATIONS — Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. 2. UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTION RELATED COSTS AND RECOVERIES In December 2009, the Company learned of significant unauthorized transactions as previously reported. The Company has ongoing costs and recoveries associated with the unauthorized transactions. For the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , the costs incurred were for legal fees related to claims initiated against third parties (see Note 20 ). The Company has received various recoveries related to the unauthorized transactions which are summarized below. The Company will continue to incur legal fees for the claims initiated against third parties. There have been other recoveries of the assets previously owned and forfeited by the former Vice President of Finance. The remaining amounts to be received from the assets forfeited are not expected to be significant. For the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , the costs and recoveries were as follows: 3. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable includes unsecured trade receivables due from customers. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers and does not require collateral to establish an account receivable. The Company's largest customer was on cash in advance terms as of June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The Company evaluates collectibility of accounts receivable based on a number of factors. Accounts receivable are considered to be past due if unpaid one day after their due date. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for past due receivable balances based on a review of the past due item and general economic conditions. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible. The Company recovered $112,417 of previously written-off accounts receivable during fiscal 2014 . There were no recoveries during fiscal 2015. Changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts were as follows: The vast majority of international customers, outside of Canada, purchase products on a cash against documents or cash in advance basis. Approximately 5% and 14% of the Company's trade accounts receivable at June 30, 2015 and 2014 , were foreign receivables denominated in U.S. dollars. 27 2015 2014 Legal fees incurred $ 152,492 $ 388,287 Proceeds from asset forfeitures (121,465 ) (1,134,082 ) Unauthorized transaction related costs (recoveries), net $ 31,027 $ (745,795 ) Fiscal Year Ended June 30, Balance, beginning of year Provision charged to expense Amounts written-off Balance, end of year 2015 $ 20,501 25,725 (20,174 ) $ 26,052 2014 $ 43,405 (182,020 ) 159,116 $ 20,501  4. IMPAIRMENT OF CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE, INVENTORY AND RELATED ITEMS The Company recorded an impairment charge in the Consolidated Statements of Operations line item titled " Impairment of capitalized software, inventory and related items " during the fiscal year ended 2014. The impairment is detailed in the following table: The Company determined that the capitalized software needed to be replaced by a new architecture under development. As a result, the remaining value of the capitalized software was expensed in the year ended ended June 30, 2014. The Company may still develop this technology but has temporarily suspended its research and development effort until the base business is restored to more profitable levels. In conjunction with the review of the capitalized software, it was determined that certain inventory items were obsolete or the Company had quantities that are not expected to be used over the product forecast period. These inventory items are included net of expected recoveries. Product design costs and assumed liabilities to wrap up the current architecture design were expensed. Tooling related to products that are no longer expected to be launched was expensed. To the extent the Company incurs future costs for the continued development, software code and product launch of the WiFi-based products, then those costs will be expensed as incurred. 5. INVENTORIES As of June 30, 2015 and 2014 , the Company’s inventory was valued using the lower of last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) cost or market. If the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method of inventory accounting had been used by the Company for inventories valued at LIFO, inventories would have been $ 753,439 and $ 1,172,262 higher than reported at June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The components of inventories at June 30, 2015 and 2014 were as follows: 28 2014 Product software development expenditures $ 2,308,752 Inventories 3,451,911 Product design costs 246,588 Tooling 298,696 Impairment of capitalized software, inventory and related items $ 6,305,947 2015 2014 Raw materials $ 5,374,333 $ 5,593,159 Finished goods 6,246,072 6,327,221 11,620,405 11,920,380 Reserve for obsolete inventory (4,437,965 ) (4,865,448 ) Total inventories $ 7,182,440 $ 7,054,932  6. EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS The major categories of equipment and leasehold improvements at June 30, 2015 and 2014 are summarized as follows: 7. INCOME TAXES The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. The liability method measures the expected income tax impact of future taxable income and deductions implicit in the consolidated balance sheets. The income tax provision in 2015 and 2014 consisted of the following: The 2015 and 2014 tax results in an effective rate different than the federal statutory rate because of the following: 29 Estimated useful lives 2015 2014 Machinery and equipment 5-10 years $ 642,200 $ 675,670 Furniture and office equipment 5-10 years 374,616 374,616 Tooling 5 years 4,126,850 3,607,314 Display booths 5-7 years 287,180 287,180 Computer equipment 3-5 years 1,414,517 1,414,517 Leasehold improvements 7-10 years 2,308,246 2,288,706 Assets in progress N/A 60,600 259,328 9,214,209 8,907,331 Less: accumulated depreciation and amortization 7,621,689 7,066,840 Equipment and leasehold improvements, net $ 1,592,520 $ 1,840,491 Year Ended June 30, 2015 2014 Current: Federal $ (100,126 ) $ (1,863,204 ) State (167,282 ) 69,984 Deferred 284,783 (2,608,369 ) Total income tax provision (benefit) $ 17,375 $ (4,401,589 ) Year Ended June 30, 2015 2014 Federal income tax expense (benefit) at statutory rate $ 169,996 $ (3,382,307 ) State income tax expense (benefit), net of federal income tax benefit (21,442 ) (285,802 ) Increase in valuation allowance — 148,000 Stock-based compensation 53,596 58,187 Adjustments for unrecognized tax benefits (175,000 ) (546,113 ) Federal income tax credits — (187,349 ) Other (9,775 ) (206,205 ) Total income tax provision (benefit) $ 17,375 $ (4,401,589 )  Temporary differences which give rise to deferred income tax assets and liabilities at June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 include: Deferred income tax assets as presented on the consolidated balance sheets: Deferred income tax balances reflect the effects of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts. These differences are stated at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or recovered. The recognition of these deferred tax balances will be realized through normal recurring operations and, as such, the Company has recorded the full value of such expected benefits. The Company has no federal net operating loss carryforwards as of June 30, 2015 . The Company has net operating loss carryforwards in the state of Wisconsin totaling $6,095,423 which expire in fiscal years 2026 through 2036 . ASC Topic 740 "Income Taxes" prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. There were no additional significant matters determined to be unrecognized tax benefits taken or expected to be taken in a tax return that have been recorded on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2015 . As part of the unauthorized transactions, there was no interest accrued by the Company as of June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Additionally, ASC Topic 740 provides guidance on the recognition of interest and penalties related to income taxes. There were no penalties related to income taxes that have been accrued or recognized as of and for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 . The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense. For the year ended 2014, the Company decreased the interest it had accrued related to its tax reporting of the unauthorized transactions. The Company reversed the accrued interest related to the tax return that was filed for the year ended June 30, 2008, because the statute of limitations expired for this return. 30 2015 2014 Deferred income tax assets: Deferred compensation $ 835,270 $ 858,434 Stock-based compensation 889,325 714,350 Accrued expenses and reserves 2,075,601 2,701,144 Federal and state net operating loss carryforwards 463,237 371,744 Valuation allowance (370,409 ) (370,409 ) Equipment and leasehold improvements 11,566 — Other 14,650 22,806 Total deferred income tax assets 3,919,240 4,298,069 Deferred income tax liabilities: Equipment and leasehold improvements — (98,717 ) Other (4,671 ) — Net deferred income tax assets $ 3,914,569 $ 4,199,352 2015 2014 Current deferred income tax assets $ 2,045,316 $ 2,576,023 Noncurrent deferred income tax assets 1,869,253 1,623,329 Net deferred income tax assets $ 3,914,569 $ 4,199,352 2015 2014 Accrued interest at beginning of year $ — $ 49,150 Interest charges to expense — 24,575 Interest charges reversed — (73,725 ) Accrued interest at end of year $ — $ —  A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, the Company settled its position with a state tax authority and reduced the unrecognized tax benefits to zero. The Company does not believe it has any unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2015. Any changes to the Company's unrecognized tax benefits during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 would impact the effective tax rate. The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and in several state jurisdictions. The Company’s federal tax returns through tax year June 30, 2011 are settled and the income tax returns for tax years beginning July 1, 2011 are open. For states in which the Company files state income tax returns, the statute of limitations is generally open for tax years ended June 30, 2011 and forward. During the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the Company's federal return for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, was under examination. That examination closed during the same quarter with no adjustments to the return. The following are the changes in the valuation allowance: 8. CREDIT FACILITY On May 12, 2010, the Company entered into a secured credit facility ("Credit Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Lender”). The Credit Agreement provided for an $8,000,000 revolving secured credit facility with interest rates either ranging from 0.0% to 0.75% over the Lender’s most recently publicly announced prime rate or 2.0% to 3.0% over LIBOR, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. The Company pays a fee of 0.3% to 0.45% for unused amounts committed in the credit facility. On July 24, 2013, the Credit Agreement was amended to extend the expiration to July 31, 2015. On July 23, 2014, the Credit Agreement was amended to reduce the facility to $5,000,000 , subject to a borrowing base calculation as defined in the Credit Agreement, and to amend certain financial covenants. On July 29, 2015, the Credit Agreement was amended to extend the expiration to July 31, 2016, and to amend certain financial covenants. In addition to the revolving loans, the Credit Agreement also provides that the Company may, from time to time, request the Lender to issue letters of credit for the benefit of the Company up to a sublimit of $2,000,000 and subject to certain other limitations. The loans may be used only for general corporate purposes of the Company. The Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for financings of this type. The negative covenants include restrictions on other indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, certain investments, asset sales, sale and leaseback transactions and transactions with affiliates, among other restrictions. The financial covenants include minimum EBITDA and minimum tangible net worth requirements. The Company and the Lender also entered into the Pledge and Security Agreement dated May 12, 2010, under which the Company granted the Lender a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets in connection with the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014 , there were no outstanding borrowings on the facility. 31 2015 2014 Unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of year $ 175,000 $ 696,113 Gross increases - tax positions in prior years — 25,000 Reductions due to lapse in statute — (546,113 ) Reductions based on settlements with taxing authorities (175,000 ) — Unrecognized tax benefits at end of year $ — $ 175,000 Year Ended June 30, Balance, beginning of year Increase in valuation allowance Release of valuation allowance Balance, end of year 2015 $ (370,409 ) — — $ (370,409 ) 2014 $ (222,409 ) (148,000 ) — $ (370,409 )  9. ACCRUED LIABILITIES Accrued liabilities for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are as follows: 10. PRODUCT WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS The Company records a liability for product warranty obligations at the time of sale based upon historical warranty experience. The majority of the Company’s products carry a lifetime warranty. The Company also records a liability for specific warranty matters when they become known and are reasonably estimated. The Company’s current and non-current product warranty obligations are included in accrued liabilities and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. However, the Company is continuously releasing new and more complex and technologically advanced products. Even though some of these products have a shorter warranty period, it is at least reasonably possible that products could be released with certain unknown quality or design problems resulting in higher than expected warranty and related costs. These costs could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition in the near term. Changes to the product warranty obligations for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are as follows: 11. DEFERRED COMPENSATION The Company has deferred compensation agreements with a former and current officer. The related expense is calculated using the net present value of the expected payments and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company's current and non-current deferred compensation obligations are included in accrued liabilities and deferred compensation, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. The net present value was calculated for the former officer using a discount factor of 2.70% and 2.60% as of June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The net present value was calculated for the current officer using a discount factor of 4.80% and 4.62% at June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The Board of Directors entered into an agreement to continue the 1991 base salary of former chairman for the remainder of his life. These payments began in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 , and payments of $50,000 were made under this arrangement. The Company has a deferred compensation liability of $820,720 and $704,306 recorded as of June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Deferred compensation expense of $166,414 and $202,383 was recognized under this arrangement in 2015 and 2014 , respectively. 32 2015 2014 Cooperative advertising and promotion allowances $ 400,114 $ 750,433 Product warranty obligations 312,664 385,852 Customer credit balances 261,977 1,988,052 Current deferred compensation 150,000 — Accrued returns 97,026 89,663 Employee benefits 93,568 129,518 Legal and professional fees 70,000 79,900 Management bonuses and profit-sharing 71,381 37,500 Sales commissions and bonuses 68,890 148,278 Accrued severance — 123,720 Other 49,407 120,557 $ 1,575,027 $ 3,853,473 Year Ended June 30, Balance, beginning of year Provision charged to expense Warranty expenses incurred Balance, end of year 2015 $ 722,624 103,925 (294,658 ) $ 531,891 2014 $ 1,111,500 97,300 (486,176 ) $ 722,624  The Board of Directors has approved a supplemental retirement plan with an officer that calls for annual cash compensation following retirement from the Company in an amount equal to 2% of base salary, as defined in the agreement, multiplied by the number of years of service to the Company. The retirement payments are to be paid monthly to the officer until his death and then to his surviving spouse monthly until her death. The Company has a deferred compensation liability of $1,436,766 and $1,615,785 recorded as of June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. A reversal of deferred compensation expense of $179,019 and $257,842 was recognized under this arrangement in 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The Company uses life insurance policies to provide funds to meet its deferred compensation obligations. 12. INTEREST EXPENSE The Company incurs interest expense primarily related to its secured credit facility (see Note 8 ) and to its liabilities for its tax positions related to the unauthorized transactions. As the tax returns have been settled and statute of limitations have expired, the accrued interest expense on certain items has been reversed. Interest expense detail was as follows for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively: 13. INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON AND COMMON STOCK EQUIVALENT SHARE Basic income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding was 7,382,706 for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 . When dilutive, stock options are included in income (loss) per share as share equivalents using the treasury stock method. For the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 there were no common stock equivalents related to stock option grants that were included in the computation of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for diluted income (loss) per share. Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options of 2,245,000 and 2,066,000 were excluded from the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively, as they would be anti-dilutive. 14. STOCK OPTIONS In 2012, pursuant to the recommendation of the Board of Directors, the stockholders ratified the creation of the Company’s 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”), which superseded the 1990 Flexible Incentive Plan (the "1990 Plan"). The 2012 Plan is administered by a committee of the Board of Directors and provides for granting of various stock-based awards including stock options to eligible participants, primarily officers and certain key employees. A total of 2,000,000 shares of common stock were available under the terms of the 2012 Plan plus shares outstanding under the 1990 Plan which expire or are otherwise forfeited, canceled or terminated after July 25, 2012, the Effective Date of the 2012 Plan. As of June 30, 2015 , there were 1,269,308 options available for future grants. Options vest over a three to five year period from the date of grant, with a maximum term of five to ten years. The fair value of each stock option grant was estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The resulting compensation cost for fixed awards with graded vesting schedules is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for the entire award. The expected term of awards granted is determined based on historical experience with similar awards, giving consideration to the expected term and vesting schedules. The expected volatility is determined based on the Company’s historical stock prices over the most recent period commensurate with the expected term of the award. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term commensurate with the expected term of the award. Expected pre-vesting option forfeitures are based on historical data. As of June 30, 2015 , there was approximately $881,594 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options granted under the 2012 Plan and 1990 Plan. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.39 years. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for any future changes in estimated and actual forfeitures. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $630,539 and $684,554 in 2015 and 2014 , respectively. These expenses were included in selling, general and administrative expenses. 33 2015 2014 Interest expense (benefit) on secured credit facility $ 12,813 $ (587 ) Interest expense for tax positions related to unauthorized transactions — 24,575 Interest reversals for tax positions related to unauthorized transactions — (73,725 ) Other interest expense 148 Interest expense (income) $ 12,813 $ (49,589 )  There was no cash received from stock option exercises during 2015 or 2014 . The per share weighted average fair value of the stock options granted during the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $0.73 and $1.47 , respectively. The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For the options granted in 2015 and 2014 , the Company used the following weighted-average assumptions: The following table identifies options granted, exercised, canceled, or available for exercise pursuant to the 1990 Plan and the 2012 Plan: A summary of intrinsic value and cash received from stock option exercises and fair value of vested stock options for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 is as follows: During the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 total options of 470,000 and 445,000 , respectively, were granted during the year at a price equal to or greater than the market value of the common stock on the date of grant. These options had a weighted-average exercise price of $3.14 and $5.64 for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. 15. STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM The Company has an agreement with the former chairman, in the event of his death, at the request of the executor of his estate, to repurchase his Company common stock from his estate. The Company does not have the right to require the estate to sell stock to the Company. As such, this arrangement is accounted for as a written put option with the fair value of the put option recorded as a derivative liability. 34 2015 2014 Expected stock price volatility 43 % 47 % Risk free interest rate 1.52 % 1.27 % Expected dividend yield 4.00 % 4.00 % Expected forfeitures 1.50 % 1.50 % Expected life of options 4.6 years 4.6 years Number of Shares Stock Options Price Range Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life - Years Aggregate Intrinsic Value of In-The- Money Options Shares under option at July 1, 2013 1,741,000 $3.90 - $13.09 $ 6.40 4.39 $ 55,160 Granted 445,000 $5.30 - $5.83 $ 5.64 Exercised — — — Expired (120,000 ) $11.01 $ 11.01 Forfeited — — — Shares under option at June 30, 2014 2,066,000 $3.90 - $13.09 $ 5.97 4.13 $ — Granted 470,000 $2.24 - $3.30 $ 3.14 Exercised — — — Expired (201,000 ) $4.97 - $13.09 $ 7.06 Forfeited (90,000 ) $3.00 - $6.00 $ 4.69 Shares under option at June 30, 2015 2,245,000 $2.24 - $13.09 $ 5.33 3.69 $ 1,676 Exercisable as of June 30, 2014 904,918 $3.90 - $13.09 $ 6.39 Exercisable as of June 30, 2015 1,134,500 $3.90 - $13.09 $ 6.01 2015 2014 Total intrinsic value of stock options exercised $ — $ — Cash received from stock option exercises $ — $ — Total fair value of stock options vested $ 696,958 $ 586,342  As of June 30, 2015 , the estate of the former chairman does not hold a material amount of Company stock. As such, there is no exposure that the executor of the former chairman's estate may require the Company to repurchase a material amount of stock 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 will 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 may elect to pay the purchase price in cash or may elect to pay cash equal to 25% of the total amount due and to execute a promissory note at the prime rate of interest for the balance payable over four years. The Company maintains a $1,150,000 life insurance policy to fund a substantial portion of this obligation. In April 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. Subsequently, the Board of Directors periodically has approved increases in the amount authorized for repurchase under the program. As of June 30, 2015 , the Board had authorized the repurchase of an aggregate of $45,500,000 of common stock under the stock repurchase program, of which $43,360,247 had been expended. No shares were repurchased in 2015 or 2014 . 16. ADDITIONAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION The net changes in cash as a result of changes in operating assets and liabilities consist of the following: 17.

Included in these percentages were sales to a single Scandinavian distributor which represented approximately 15% and 10% of the Company's net sales during 2015 and 2014 , respectively. 19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company leases its facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from Koss Holdings, LLC, which is wholly-owned by the former chairman. On May 15, 2012 , the lease was renewed for a period of five years, ending June 30, 2018 , and is being accounted for as an operating lease. The lease extension maintained the rent at a fixed rate of $380,000 per year. The Company is responsible for all property maintenance, insurance, taxes and other normal expenses related to ownership. Total rent expense was $ 380,000 in both 2015 and 2014 . 20. LEGAL MATTERS As of June 30, 2015 , the Company is party to the matters related to the unauthorized transactions described below: The ultimate resolution of these matters is not determinable unless otherwise noted. We also are subject to a variety of other claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Although management currently believes that resolving these claims against us, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. 36 2015 2014 United States $ 16,779,312 $ 15,514,051 Sweden 3,677,225 2,310,064 Canada 498,026 604,971 Russia 478,012 377,135 United Kingdom 465,647 707,724 Czech Republic 441,754 1,309,697 Cyprus 414,787 1,975,736 All other countries 1,475,293 1,041,504 Net sales $ 24,230,056 $ 23,840,882 • On February 18, 2010, the Company filed an action against American Express Company, American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc., AMEX Card Services Company, Decision Science, and Pamela S.

In 2015, Park Bank filed third party claims based on contribution and subrogation against Grant Thornton LLP and Michael Koss.
