| PEABODY,
Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 19, 2000--Boston Acoustics, Inc.
(NASDAQ:BOSA - news) today announced financial results for its FY2001
second quarter ended September 30, 2000.
Net sales for the quarter increased 21%, to $34.6 million from $28.7 million for the same period a year ago. Net income increased 34% to $2.2 million compared to $1.7 million. Diluted earnings per share increased 45% to $.45 per share compared to $.31 per share for the same period a year ago. Year-to-date (six months) net sales increased 14% to $57.4 million, net income was approximately $3.4 million compared to $2.8 million and diluted earnings per share were $.69 per share compared to $.54 per share for the six months ended September 30, 2000. The second quarter of Fiscal 2001 covers 14 weeks of sales and earnings compared to 13 weeks for the second quarter of Fiscal 2000. CEO Andy Kotsatos stated, ``The double digit increases we are experiencing in our Core home entertainment products are being driven by explosive growth of DVD player sales. We expect that trend to continue, but closer to the rate indicated by our six-month performance to date, since the second quarter results had the benefit of a beginning $1.2 million back order and a 14-week quarter. Our margins suffered in this quarter because of the higher personnel and operational costs associated with catching up. We expect our margins to remain about the same in the third quarter.'' ``Any balance sheet is a snapshot in time, and ours indicates a momentary increase in accounts receivable and a consequent increase in our line of credit. The increase in inventories is predominately Multimedia finished goods.'' Boston Acoustics, Inc. provides audio solutions for home entertainment, automobiles and personal computers. Founded in 1979, Boston Acoustics is located in Peabody, Massachusetts. -0- Three Months Ended
