DTS, INC.        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS        (Unaudited)        (Amounts in thousands, except per share data)

Note 1Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of DTS, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position at June 30, 2008, and the results of
operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. The information included in this
Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2007.

Correction of Error

In the second quarter of 2008, errors were identified in the Company's income tax provision and benefit related to discontinued
operations for the periods ended December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008, respectively. These errors relate to the tax effects of the adjustments to the carrying value of assets of
discontinued operations held for sale and were recognized in discontinued operations for those periods. These errors were corrected during the second quarter of 2008, the period in which the errors
were identified and these assets were disposed. The correction of these errors had no effect on results of continuing operations in any reporting period.

The
error originating in the fourth quarter of 2007 had the effect of increasing the 2007 loss from discontinued operations and net loss and understating short-term deferred
tax assets by $1,800. The error overstated the basic and diluted loss from discontinued operations and net loss per share by $0.10. Additionally, the error originating in the first quarter of 2008 had
the effect of increasing the loss from discontinued operations, reducing net income and understating short-term deferred tax assets by $3,300. This error overstated the basic and diluted
loss from discontinued operations and understated the basic and diluted net income per share by $0.19 and $0.18, respectively. The errors and their correction are solely the result of the originations
and reversals of deferred tax differences. The Company concluded that the errors were not material to the financial statements for 2007 and are not material to the expected results for the full year
2008, and as such, is correcting these errors in the second quarter of 2008. The impact in the second quarter of 2008 of this correction is to increase income from discontinued operations and net
income by $5,100, or $0.29 and $0.28 per basic and diluted share, respectively. The impact for the full year 2008 will be to increase income from discontinued operations and net income by $1,800.

The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

DTS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

(Amounts in thousands, except per share data)

Note 1Basis of Presentation (Continued)

In
January 2007, the Company combined its digital images and cinema businesses into a single business known as "DTS Digital Cinema." In February 2007, the Company's Board of Directors
approved a plan to sell DTS Digital Cinema, which plan was modified in August 2007 in response to changing market conditions to offer these businesses for sale either together or individually, to
enable the Company to focus exclusively on licensing branded entertainment technology to the large and evolving audio, game console, personal computer, portable, broadcast, and other markets. In
conformity with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," during the first quarter of 2007, DTS Digital Cinema's assets and
liabilities were classified as held for sale and its operations began to be classified as discontinued operations. As a result, the Company has reclassified its balance sheets and statements of
operations for all periods presented in this report to reflect DTS Digital Cinema as discontinued operations. The Company has ceased depreciation and amortization from discontinued operations from the
date the Board of Directors approved the plan to sell this business. In the statements of cash flows, the cash flows of discontinued operations are not separately classified or aggregated. The
discontinued operations are reported in the respective categories of the statements of cash flows with those of continuing operations.

The
digital images and cinema businesses were sold in two separate transactions on April 4, 2008 and May 9, 2008, respectively, and the net assets held for sale of these
businesses have been eliminated from the Company's balance sheet as of these sale dates. As a result of these transactions and in conjunction with the previous carrying value adjustments, the Company
realized a pre-tax loss of $2,099 during the three months ended June 30, 2008, reported in income from discontinued operations, net of tax. For additional information, refer to
Footnote 9 of the consolidated financial statements, "Discontinued Operations."

All
discussions and amounts in the consolidated financial statements and related notes, except for cash flows, for all periods presented relate to continuing operations only, unless
otherwise noted.

Note 2Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." In February 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB
Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157," which provides a one year deferral of the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for
non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value at least annually. Therefore, the
Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 with respect to certain financial assets only. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under
generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under SFAS No. 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an
asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement
date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under SFAS No. 157 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair
value hierarchy based on three

DTS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Amounts in thousands, except per share data)

Note 2Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

levels
of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:



Although
the adoption of SFAS 157 did not materially impact its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow, the Company is now required to provide additional
disclosures as part of its financial statements. For additional information, refer to Footnote 3 of the consolidated financial statements, "Fair Value Measurements."

Effective
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159 "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." SFAS No. 159 allows an entity the
irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for specified financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. The Company
did not elect to adopt the fair value option under this Statement.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), "Business Combinations." SFAS 141(R) is intended to improve consistency and comparability of information about the nature
and effect of a business combination by establishing principles and requirements for how an acquirer (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired,
liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and
(c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) applies
prospectively to all business combination transactions for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. The impact of the Company's adoption of SFAS 141(R) will depend upon
the nature and terms of business combinations, if any, that it consummates on or after January 1, 2009.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51," which establishes new standards
governing the accounting for and reporting of noncontrolling interests (NCIs) in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Certain provisions of this standard
indicate, among other things, that NCIs (previously referred to as minority interests) be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability; that increases and decreases in the parent's
ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions, rather than as step acquisitions or dilution gains or losses; and that losses of a partially owned consolidated
subsidiary be allocated to the NCI even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance. This standard also requires changes to certain presentation and disclosure requirements. SFAS
No. 160 is effective for financial statements

Note 2Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The provisions of the standard are to be applied to all NCIs prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements,
which are to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company has not yet determined the impact SFAS No. 160 may have on its results of operations or financial position.

In
March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activitiesan amendment of FASB Statement No. 133." This
Statement requires enhanced disclosures about an entity's derivative and hedging activities, including (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative
instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and its related interpretations, and (c) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements; however, it does
not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In
May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the
framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. This
Statement is effective 60 days following the Security and Exchange Commission's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of
Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The Company does not expect SFAS No. 162 to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of
operations.

Note 3Fair Value Measurements

As of June 30, 2008, the Company held certain financial assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These financial assets included the Company's
auction rate security instruments, which are classified as available for sale investments. Due to recent events in the credit markets, certain auctions for the Company's auction rate security
instruments failed during 2008. The Company attributes the failed auctions to liquidity issues rather than credit quality issues, as the auction rate securities held at June 30, 2008 are
tax-exempt municipal bonds issued by governmental entities located within the United States that are insured and have a AAA rating.

Liquidity
for these auction rate security instruments is typically provided by a Dutch auction process that resets the applicable interest rate at pre-determined intervals,
usually every 7, 28, or 35 days. Historically, auction rate security instruments would also be purchased or sold at these pre-determined intervals, creating a liquid market.
Investment earnings paid during a given period are based upon the reset rate determined during the prior auction. For each unsuccessful auction, the interest rate moves to a maximum rate defined for
each security, which is generally higher than short-term interest indices. To date the Company has collected all interest receivable on its auction rate security instruments when due.

Note 3Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

The
principal associated with failed auctions will not be accessible until successful auctions occur, a buyer is found outside of the auction process, the issuers establish a different
form of financing to replace these securities, issuers repay principal over time from cash flows prior to final maturity, or final payments come due according to contractual maturities ranging from 16
to 26 years. The Company understands that issuers and financial markets are working on alternatives that may improve liquidity, although it is not yet clear when or if such efforts will be
successful. The Company expects that it will receive the principal associated with these auction rate security instruments through one of the means described above.

Due
to the loss of liquidity, the fair values of many of these securities are estimated utilizing discounted cash flow ("DCF") analyses or Level 3 inputs within the SFAS
No. 157 fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2008. The range of assumptions used in preparing the DCF analyses included estimates for the amounts and timing of future interest and
principal payments and the rate of return required by investors to own these securities in the current environment. In making these assumptions the Company considered relevant factors including: the
formula applicable to each security which defines the interest rate paid to investors in the event of a failed auction, the creditworthiness of the counterparty, the likely timing of the next
successful auction for each security, and the likely timing for the instruments to be called or refinanced by the issuer. The Company's estimate of the rate of return required by investors to own
these securities also considers the current reduced liquidity for these auction rate security instruments.

As
a result of the Company's DCF analyses, the estimated fair values did not vary greater than 0.7% from par or cost, with the average fair value approximating par or cost. Therefore, no
valuation adjustments for unrealized or realized gains or losses were recorded as of June 30, 2008 or for the six months then ended. The Company believes par value or cost is a reasonable
approximation of fair value under the circumstances and given the information available in the absence of a liquid market. Further evidence includes the fact that these securities have redemption
features which call for redemption at 100% of par value. The Company also believes that it has the ability and intent to hold these securities throughout the estimated 15 to 18 month recovery
period.

Due
to the Company's belief that it may take up to 15 to 18 months for all of the issuers to effect redemptions at par or for the auction markets to recover, $16,575 of its
auction rate security instruments have been classified as long-term investments on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2008. The remaining $4,875 of its auction
rate security instruments have been classified as short-term investments on the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2008 due to planned redemptions or sales in the near term.
Once it is determined that the auction markets have recovered, the Company will reclassify its auction rate security holdings currently classified as long-term investments back to
short-term investments. As of June 30, 2008, the Company continues to earn interest on all of its auction rate securities. Any future fluctuation in fair value related to these
securities that the Company deems to be temporary, including any recoveries of previous write-downs, will be recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income. If the Company determines that any
future valuation adjustment is other than temporary, it will record a charge to earnings.

on market conditions, the Company changed its valuation methodology for many of its auction rate securities to discounted cash flow analyses during first quarter of 2008.
Accordingly, these securities changed from Level 1 to Level 3 within the SFAS No. 157 hierarchy since the Company's initial adoption of SFAS No. 157. Subsequent to the
initial adoption of SFAS No. 157, the Company has been able to determine the valuation of more than half of its auction rate security instruments with Level 2 inputs.

The
following table presents the Company's assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) at June 30, 2008:

Note 5Commitments and Contingencies

Indemnities, Commitments and Guarantees

In the normal course of business, the Company makes certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which the Company may be
required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities, commitments and guarantees include, among others, intellectual property indemnities to customers in connection with
the sale of products and licensing of technology, indemnities for liabilities associated with the infringement of other parties' technology based upon the Company's products and technology, guarantees
of timely performance of the Company's obligations, and indemnities to the Company's directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by law. The duration of these indemnities, commitments and
guarantees varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite. The majority of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments that
the Company could be obligated to make. The Company has not recorded a liability for these indemnities, commitments or guarantees in the accompanying balance sheets, as future payment is currently not
probable.

Note 6Income Taxes

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $927 on pre-tax income from continuing operations of $2,301. For the six
months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $2,911 on pre-tax income from continuing operations of $7,536. This resulted in an annualized effective
tax rate of 39%. This rate differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily due to an increase in the effective rate associated with changes in the jurisdictional mix of income, partially offset
by tax exempt interest. In determining the income tax provision for continuing operations, the continuing operations were considered a stand alone entity. The residual amount of tax expense or benefit
due to the difference between the income tax provision for the Company as a whole and the income tax provision as calculated for continuing operations was recorded in discontinued operations.

Note 6Income Taxes (Continued)

In
the first quarter of 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan Interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109" ("FIN 48"). The Company has also applied FASB Staff Position No. FIN 48-1, "Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48" to clarify when a
tax position has been settled under paragraph 10(b) of FIN 48. Upon adoption of FIN 48, the Company recognized a $547 increase in tax reserves, which was accounted for as a
reduction of $547 in the beginning retained earnings.

Upon
the Company's adoption of FIN 48, its liability for uncertain tax positions was $1,392, which was recorded in other long-term liabilities. At June 30,
2008, the Company's liability for uncertain tax positions increased to $2,326, which was recorded in other long-term liabilities. The increase in unrecognized tax benefits during the six
months ended June 30, 2008 was primarily attributable to uncertain tax positions on transfer pricing positions taken with respect to the Company's foreign subsidiaries. These unrecognized tax
benefits would affect the Company's effective tax rate if recognized. At the beginning of 2007, there was an immaterial liability for uncertain tax
positions for the possible payment of interest and penalties. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to its total unrecognized tax benefit within the next twelve months.

The
Company may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to the
Company's financial results. In accordance with the Company's accounting policy, interest expense and penalties related to income taxes are included in income tax expense.

The
Company, or one of its subsidiaries, files income tax returns in the U.S. and other foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal
income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years prior to 2004. The Internal Revenue Service commenced its examination of the Company's 2005 federal tax return during the fourth quarter of
2007.

Licensing
revenue is recognized gross of withholding taxes that are remitted by the Company's licensees directly to their local tax authorities. For the three months ended
June 30, 2007 and 2008, withholding taxes were $653 and $601, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008, withholding taxes were $897 and $1,784, respectively.

Note 7Comprehensive Income (Loss)

At December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2008, accumulated other comprehensive income is comprised mostly of foreign currency translation.

Comprehensive
income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008 was ($665) and $5,077, respectively. Comprehensive income (loss) for the six months ended
June 30, 2007 and 2008 was ($1,390) and $6,399, respectively.

Note 9Discontinued Operations

On April 4, 2008, the Company, DTS Digital Images, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("DI"), and Reliance Big Entertainment Private Limited ("Reliance"),
entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement providing for the sale of DI by the Company to Reliance. The sale was consummated the same day. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the
Company received cash consideration of approximately $7,500. The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. As a result of this transaction and in conjunction with the
previous carrying value adjustments, the Company realized a pre-tax gain of $21 during the three months ended June 30, 2008, reported in income from discontinued operations, net of
tax. During a transition period
from the sale date and ending prior to June 30, 2008, the Company provided certain transition services to Reliance related to DI. The Company has concluded that the direct cash flows resulting
from these transition services were not material, and the Company did not have any continuing ownership interest or other influence over DI during this period.

On
May 9, 2008, the Company, Beaufort California, Inc. ("Beaufort") and Beaufort International Group Plc. entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "DC
Agreement") providing for the sale of substantially all of the Company's assets used predominantly in the conduct of its digital cinema business ("DC business") to Beaufort and the assumption by
Beaufort of certain liabilities of the DC business. The sale was consummated the same day. Pursuant to the terms of the DC Agreement, the Company received cash consideration of approximately $3,250
upon the closing of this sale, and it could receive an additional $11,750 in additional consideration. For the purposes of measuring the

pre-tax
loss on this sale, the Company has not attributed any fair value to the additional consideration. As a result of this transaction and in conjunction with the previous carrying value
adjustments, the Company realized a pre-tax loss of $2,120 during the three months ended June 30, 2008, reported in income from discontinued operations, net of tax. This
pre-tax loss results primarily from settlement and severance obligations of the Company and working capital adjustments that were determined subsequent to the closing of this sale, in
addition to losses from operations during the partial quarterly period from April 1, 2008 through the closing of this sale. As further relevant information becomes available relating to the
contingent consideration or further obligations of the Company, if any, this pre-tax loss may be updated in future periods.

For
the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008, $841 and $47, respectively, of depreciation and amortization was not expensed due to the cessation of such expenses upon DTS
Digital Cinema being classified as held for sale. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008, $1,273 and $287, respectively, of depreciation and amortization was not expensed due to the

Adjustment to Carrying Value of Assets Held for Sale

As a part of the Company's quarterly reassessment of the carrying value of the assets of its Cinema and Digital Images businesses at
December 31, 2007, it had determined that several factors had converged to cause deterioration in the fair value of these assets and accordingly the Company reduced the carrying value of these
assets held for sale to fair value less costs to sell. The Company's estimate of fair value reflected expected proceeds to be realized from potential buyers in a future sale,

which
it believed was the current market value of these assets. In conformity with SFAS No. 144, in the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company recognized a charge of $24,653, before any related
tax effect, to reflect these assets at their fair value, less costs to sell. This charge was recorded in the results of discontinued operations, and it reduced the carrying values of goodwill,
intangible assets and fixed assets by $3,585, $16,381 and $4,687, respectively.

In
conformity with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, assets held for sale with a carrying amount of $5,387 were written up to their fair value of $10,750, less costs to sell of $400
(or $10,350), resulting in an adjustment to carrying value of assets held for sale of $4,963, which was included in the results of discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31,
2008. The Company's estimate of fair value reflected expected proceeds to be realized from potential buyers in a future sale, which it believed was the current market value of these assets.

Note 10Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income
(loss) per
common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock, outstanding stock
options, common stock warrants, and the employee stock purchase plan ("ESPP") using the "treasury stock" method.

Note 11Common Stock Repurchases

Common Stock Repurchase Programs

In August 2006, the Company's Board of Directors authorized, subject to certain business and market conditions, the purchase of up to
1,000 shares of the Company's common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. During the second and third quarters of 2007, the Company repurchased all shares of common stock
under this authorization for an aggregate cost of $22,670. All shares repurchased under this authorization are currently considered treasury stock.

In
February 2008, the Company's Board of Directors authorized, subject to certain business and market conditions, the purchase of up to 1,000 shares of the Company's common stock in the
open market or in privately negotiated transactions. At June 30, 2008, there were no shares purchased under this authorization. Any shares repurchased would be considered treasury stock, unless
or until retired.

Restricted Stock Award Withholdings

The Company issues restricted stock awards as part of its equity incentive plans. For a majority of the restricted stock awards
granted, the number of shares released on the date the restricted stock awards vest is net of the statutory withholding requirements that the Company pays to the appropriate taxing authorities on
behalf of its employees. The shares repurchased to satisfy the statutory withholding requirements are immediately retired.

Note 12Stock-Based Compensation

During 2006 and 2007, the Company's estimate of certain assumptions for input into the Black-Scholes option pricing model considered certain actuarial calculations. These considerations
were determined appropriate for those periods due to the Company's limited history as a publicly traded company and its limited relevant historical information to support the expected sale and
exercise behavior of its employees who had been granted options. Beginning in 2008 and in conformity with the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 107,
"Share-Based Payment," the Company began estimating certain assumptions for input into the Black-Scholes model without certain actuarial calculations. The Company also began to estimate the expected
term and volatility assumptions based upon the historical behavior of its employees and its own historical stock price activity, respectively. The Company believes that these changes in accounting
estimates provide a better estimate of future option and stock price activity patterns. The impact of these changes in accounting estimates are reductions in the expected term and volatility
assumptions for input into the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company will continue to review its estimates and assumptions in conformity with SAB No. 107 and SFAS No. 123(R),
"Share-Based Payment." Changes in the Company's estimate of the assumptions for input into the Black-Scholes option pricing model could result in material increases or decreases in stock-based
compensation costs.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements May Prove Inaccurate

This Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated herein by reference contain forward-looking statements based on our
current beliefs, expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, and certain assumptions made by us. Words such as "believes," "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," "projections," "may,"
"potential," "plan," "continue" and words of similar effect, constitute "forward-looking statements." The forward-looking statements contained in this report involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results to be materially different from those expressed in or implied by these statements. These factors include those listed under the "Risk
Factors" section contained below and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, and the other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, including our most recent
reports on Form 8-K and Form 10-K. We cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. We do not intend to update these
forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances. You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Overview

We are a leading provider of high quality branded entertainment technologies, which are incorporated into an array of entertainment
products by hundreds of licensee customers around the world. Our core DTS digital multi-channel audio technology enables the delivery and playback of compelling surround sound and is currently used in
a variety of product applications, including audio/video receivers, Standard Definition DVD players, Blu-ray Disc players, personal computers or PCs, car audio products, video game
consoles, and home theater systems.

In
January 2007, we combined our digital images and cinema businesses into a single business known as DTS Digital Cinema. In February 2007, our Board of Directors approved a plan to sell
DTS Digital Cinema, which plan was modified in August 2007 in response to changing market conditions to offer these businesses for sale either together or individually, to enable us to focus
exclusively on licensing branded entertainment technology to the large and evolving audio, game console, personal computer, portable and broadcast markets. In conformity with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," during the first quarter of 2007, DTS Digital Cinema's assets and
liabilities were classified as held for sale and its operations were reported as discontinued operations. As a result, we reclassified our balance sheets and statements of operations for all periods
presented in this report to reflect DTS Digital Cinema as discontinued operations. In the statements of cash flows, the cash flows of discontinued operations are not separately classified or
aggregated. The discontinued operations are reported in the respective categories of the statements of cash flows with those of continuing operations.

As
a part of our quarterly assessment of the carrying value of the assets of our digital images and cinema businesses, we determined that several factors had converged to cause
deterioration in the fair value of these assets during the fourth quarter of 2007 and accordingly we reduced the carrying value of these assets held for sale to fair value less costs to sell,
resulting in an adjustment of $24.7 million. Due to feedback and negotiations from the ultimate buyer for the digital images business who emerged during the latter portion of the first quarter
of 2008, we determined that the fair value of the assets held for sale less costs to sell had increased, and accordingly, we increased the carrying value of the assets held for sale to fair value less
costs to sell, resulting in an adjustment of $5.0 million. Our estimates of fair value reflected expected proceeds to be realized from potential buyers in a future sale, which we believed was
the current market value of these assets. During the three months ended

18

---



June 30,
2008, we completed the sale of DTS Digital Cinema in two separate transactions, one related to the digital images business and one related to the digital cinema business.

On
April 4, 2008, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement providing for the sale of our DTS Digital Images ("DI") business to Reliance Big Entertainment Private Limited. The
sale was consummated the same day. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, we received cash consideration of approximately $7.5 million. During a transition period from the sale
date and ending prior to June 30, 2008, we provided certain transition services to Reliance related to DI. We have concluded that the direct cash flows resulting from these transition services
were not material, and we did not have any continuing ownership interest or other influence over DI during this period.

On
May 9, 2008, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement providing for the sale of substantially all of our assets used predominantly in the conduct of our digital cinema
business, or DC business, to Beaufort California, Inc., or Beaufort, a member of Beaufort International Group Plc. in England, and the assumption by Beaufort of certain liabilities of
the DC business. The sale was consummated the same day. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we received cash consideration of approximately $3.3 million upon the closing of this sale, and
we could receive an additional $11.7 million in additional consideration. For the purposes of measuring the pre-tax loss on this sale, we have not attributed any fair value to the additional
consideration.

The
net assets held for sale of these businesses have been eliminated from our balance sheet as of the respective sale dates, and as a result of these transactions and in conjunction
with the previous carrying value adjustments, we realized a pre-tax loss of $2,099 during the three months ended June 30, 2008, reported in income from discontinued operations, net
of tax. This pre-tax loss results primarily from settlement and severance obligations of ours and working capital adjustments that were determined subsequent to the closing of the sale of
the DC Business, in addition to losses from operations during the partial quarterly period from April 1, 2008 through the closing of the sales. As further relevant information becomes available
relating to the contingent consideration or further obligations of ours, if any, this pre-tax loss may be updated in future periods.

In
the second quarter of 2008, errors were identified in the our income tax provision and benefit related to discontinued operations for the periods ended December 31, 2007 and
March 31, 2008, respectively. These errors relate to the tax effects of the adjustments to the carrying value of assets of discontinued operations held for sale and were recognized in
discontinued operations for those periods. These errors were corrected during the second quarter of 2008, the period in which the errors were identified and these assets were disposed. The correction
of these errors had no effect on results of continuing operations in any reporting period.

The
error originating in the fourth quarter of 2007 had the effect of increasing the 2007 loss from discontinued operations and net loss and understating short-term deferred
tax assets by $1.8 million. The error overstated the basic and diluted loss from discontinued operations and net loss per share by $0.10. Additionally, the error originating in the first
quarter of 2008 had the effect of increasing the loss from discontinued operations, reducing net income and understating short-term deferred tax assets by $3.3 million. This error
overstated the basic and diluted loss from discontinued operations and understated the basic and diluted net income per share by $0.19 and $0.18, respectively. The errors and their correction are
solely the result of originations and reversals of deferred tax differences. We concluded that the errors were not material to the financial statements for 2007 and are not material to the expected
results for the full year 2008, and as such, are correcting these errors in the second quarter of 2008. The impact in the second quarter of 2008 of this
correction is to increase income from discontinued operations and net income by $5.1 million, or $0.29 and $0.28 per basic and diluted share, respectively. The impact for the full year 2008
will be to increase income from discontinued operations and net income by $1.8 million.

otherwise noted.

We
derive revenues from licensing our audio technology, trademarks, and know-how under agreements with substantially all of the major consumer audio electronics
manufacturers. Our business model provides for these manufacturers to pay us a per-unit amount for DTS-enabled products that they manufacture.

We
actively engage in intellectual property compliance and enforcement activities focused on identifying third parties who have either incorporated our technology, trademarks, or
know-how without a license or who have under-reported the amount of royalties owed under license agreements with us. We continue to invest in our compliance and enforcement infrastructure
to support the value of our intellectual property to us and our licensees and to improve the long-term realization of revenue from our intellectual property. As a result of these
activities, from time to time, we recognize royalty revenues that relate to consumer electronics manufacturing activities from prior periods. These royalty recoveries may cause revenues to be higher
than expected during a particular reporting period and may not occur in subsequent periods. While we consider such revenues to be a regular part of our normal operations, we cannot predict such
recoveries or the amount or timing of such revenues.

Our
cost of revenues consists primarily of amounts paid for products and materials, salaries and related benefits for operations personnel, amortization of acquired intangibles and
payments to third parties for copyrighted material.

Our
selling, general, and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related benefits for personnel engaged in sales, administration, finance, human resources, information
systems and legal and costs associated with promotional and other selling activities. Selling, general, and administrative expenses also include professional fees, facility-related expenses, and other
general corporate expenses.

Our
research and development costs consist primarily of salaries and related benefits for research and development personnel, engineering consulting expenses associated with new product
and technology
development, and quality assurance and testing costs. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Management Discussion Regarding Trends, Opportunities, and Challenges

Our revenue is primarily dependent upon the Standard Definition DVD based home theater market. The success of Standard Definition DVD
based systems and products has fueled a demand for higher quality entertainment in the home, and this demand is extending to the car audio and personal computer markets as well. In addition, we expect
the recent acceleration of the market for high definition televisions to drive demand for Blu-ray Disc players and advanced home theater systems over the next several years. Because we
have been selected as a mandatory technology for the Blu-ray Disc standard for next generation players, our revenue growth should closely track the growth rate for sales of these players
over the next several years. We expect that the market for high definition players will yield new growth that provides an offset to the expected further decline in Standard Definition DVD player
shipments. Further, we believe that mandatory inclusion in Blu-ray Disc standard will help to improve the adoption rate of our technologies in other consumer products such as next
generation video game consoles, personal audio and video players, personal computers and in-car entertainment systems.

While
we are optimistic about the expected growth in next generation optical disc products over the next several years, we do not have near-term visibility into the precise
timing of this expected growth or how smooth or linear this growth will be. Factors that could potentially affect this growth in the near term include the pace of consumer adoption of these next
generation products, product

pricing,
manufacturer redesign cycles, content availability, and the impact of the current economic downturn on consumer buying patterns.

We
recently introduced DTS Surround Sensation, a suite of virtual surround sound technologies, that allows the playing of simulated 5.1 multi-channel content over two speakers or
headphones. DTS Surround Sensation contains significant psycho-acoustic information that alters human perception, causing the listener to perceive that sounds are actually occurring outside the
boundaries of the two-speaker system or headphones. Developed with a key understanding of acoustics and significant experience with the properties of sound, DTS Surround Sensation creates
a three-dimensional sound field that exceeds the limitations of just two speakers, producing a surround sound experience.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management's 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 our 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. On an on-going basis, estimates and
judgments are evaluated, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of long-lived assets, fair value measurements, stock-based
compensation, and income taxes. These estimates and judgments are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results
of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent
degree of uncertainty. Actual results may differ from these estimates. With the exception of our adoption of SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" during the first quarter of 2008, there has
been no material change to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in our Form 10-K filed on March 3, 2008.

Fair Value Measurements.Fair value measurements to adjust certain financial instruments are based upon Level 3 valuation models in conformity with SFAS
No. 157. We hold certain financial assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These financial assets include our auction rate security instruments, which are
classified as available for sale. Due to recent events in the credit markets, certain auctions for the auction rate securities failed during 2008. We attribute the failed auctions to liquidity issues
rather than credit quality issues, as the auction rate securities held at June 30, 2008 are tax-exempt municipal bonds issued by governmental entities located within the United
States that are insured and have a AAA rating. To date we have collected all interest receivable on our auction rate security instruments when due and expect to continue to do so in the future. For
each unsuccessful auction, the interest rate moves to a maximum rate defined for each security, which is generally higher than short-term interest indices.

In
estimating the fair value of many of these auction rate security instruments as of June 30, 2008, we utilized discounted cash flow analyses, or DCF. The following are the key
inputs in our DCF analyses based on our estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing these instruments:



21

---





As
a result of our DCF analyses, the estimated fair values did not vary greater than 0.7% from par or cost, with the average fair value approximating par or cost. Therefore, no valuation
adjustments for unrealized or realized gains or losses were recorded as of June 30, 2008 or for the six months then ended. We believe par value or cost is a reasonable approximation of fair
value under the circumstances and given the information available in the absence of a liquid market. Further evidence includes the fact that these securities have redemption features which call for
redemption at 100% of par value. During 2008, all sales of our auction rate security instruments have been at par or cost with no gain or loss. We also believe that we have the ability and intent to
hold these securities throughout the estimated 15 to 18 month recovery period.

If
we were to modify certain of the key assumptions utilized in the valuation analyses of our auction rate securities portfolio, the estimated fair values would change. Specifically, in
order to understand the sensitivity of the valuation analyses related to our maturity and related discount rate assumptions (i.e., the extent to which the discount rate varies based on the term
assumption), we modified the term assumption by approximately 50%, modeling both shorter and longer maturities (holding the liquidity assumption constant). Further, we modified the liquidity discount
assumption (holding the 15 to 18 month terms and discount rate assumptions constant), increasing/decreasing the liquidity discount by 50 basis points. Based on these changes to our analyses,
the estimated fair values did not vary greater than 1.2% from par or cost, with the average fair value approximating par or cost.

Our
assumptions were based on a review of short-term interest indices and our estimates for the amount and timing of future interest and principal payments and the rate of
return required by investors to own these auction rate security instruments in the current environment, among
other relevant factors. The fair value of our auction rate security instruments and related valuation assumptions could change significantly based on market conditions and the current uncertainties in
the credit markets. We will continue to monitor our auction rate security instruments, and we may be required to record a temporary or an other-than-temporary impairment. In
the event that we are unable to sell the underlying securities at or above our carrying value, or at all, these securities may not provide us a liquid source of cash in the future.

Revenues
for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 remained fairly consistent. We first began to record royalties from next generation high definition optical disc formats
in 2007, and these royalties comprised 11% and 12% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During the first quarter of 2008, the format war for next
generation high definition optical disc formats ended with Blu-ray Disc as the winner, but the positive impact from this event has not been felt due to our quarter lag for most licensing
revenues. We will continue to monitor the Blu-ray market, and remain cautious in our overall outlook due to uncertainties regarding the timing and rate of adoption of the new format.
However, we expect technology licensing revenues to grow during the

second
half of the year, as wider availability of high definition players, PC and game console models equipped with a Blu-ray Disc drive, coupled with expected aggressive pricing and
promotion of these products should result in increasing licensing revenues from the Blu-ray format.

The
increase in revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the same prior year period, was primarily attributable an increase in royalties from next generation
high definition optical disc formats. These royalties comprised 16% and 9% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The
dollar increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the same prior year periods, is primarily due to $0.8 million and $1.4 million
increases, respectively in employee related costs including expanded foreign operations and stock-based compensation.

We
expect SG&A expenses to continue to increase, primarily to support activities such as new technology initiatives, international expansion and intellectual property enforcement.

The
decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the same prior year period, is primarily due to a $0.4 million decrease in interest income resulting from
lower average invested balances and interest rates in the current period as a result of our stock repurchases during the second and third quarters of 2007.

Interest
and other income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the same prior year period, remained fairly consistent, but that is the result of the following
offsetting activities. During the prior year period, a $0.7 million correction reduced interest income in order to correct our accrued interest income balances related to 2005 and 2006. During
the current year period, we had lower average invested balances as a result of our stock repurchases during the second and third quarters of 2007 and lower average interest rates as a result of a less
favorable interest rate environment.

Going
forward, we expect interest income for the year to be in the range of $2.5 to $3.0 million, based on the current interest rate environment and current investment balances.

Our
effective tax rate is based upon a projection of annual fiscal year results, and these rates differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily due to an increase in the
effective rate associated with changes in the jurisdictional mix of income, partially offset by tax exempt interest. In determining the income tax provision for continuing operations, the continuing
operations were considered a stand alone entity. The residual amount of tax expense or benefit due to the difference between the income tax provision for the Company as a whole and the income tax
provision as calculated for continuing operations was recorded in discontinued operations.

Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net

Our digital images and cinema businesses were sold in two separate transactions on April 4, 2008 and May 9, 2008,
respectively. Proceeds from each of these sales were $7.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The net assets held for sale of these businesses have been eliminated from our balance
sheet as of the respective sale dates, and as a result of these transactions and in conjunction with the previous carrying value adjustments, we realized a pre-tax loss of $2,099 during
the three months ended June 30, 2008. This pre-tax loss results primarily from settlement and severance obligations of ours and working capital adjustments that were determined
subsequent to the closing of the sale of the DC Business, in addition to losses from operations during the partial quarterly period from April 1, 2008

24

through
the closing of the sales. As further relevant information becomes available relating to the contingent consideration or further obligations of ours, if any, this pre-tax loss may
be updated in future periods. As a result of the sales, the current year periods represent partial period results and are not comparable to the same prior year periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2008, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $85.5 million, compared to
$85.4 million at December 31, 2007. Due to recent auction failures in the auction rate security markets, we classified certain of our auction rate security holdings as
long-term investments on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2008. Once it is determined that the auction markets have recovered, we will reclassify our auction
rate security holdings currently classified as long-term investments back to short-term investments. For additional information, see the "Auction Rate Securities" discussion
below.

Net
cash used in operating activities was $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Net cash provided by operating activities was $8.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in operating cash flows during the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the same prior year period, results largely from the increase in
collections of accounts receivable. The primary source of operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $5.6 million of net collections from customers. During the six
months ended June 30, 2007, an increase in accrued licensing revenues from Blu-ray Disc and other next generation based products resulted in a decrease in cash flows from accounts
receivable for this period. We first began to receive licensing revenues from next generation based products during the first quarter of 2007.

Net
cash provided by investing activities totaled $6.0 million and $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008, respectively. The primary source of
investing cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $10.3 million of proceeds from the sales of our digital images and cinema businesses, net of cash. Partially offsetting
these proceeds were purchases of investments, net of sales and maturities, and capital expenditures. The primary source of investing cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was net
proceeds from sales and maturities of our investments.

Net
cash used in financing activities was $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $5.8 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2008. The primary source of financing cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $6.3 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock
under our stock-based compensation plans, resulting largely from increased exercise activity due to the favorable market price of our common stock during that period and increased exercise activity by
former employees of the digital images and cinema businesses that were sold.

In
February 2008, our Board of Directors authorized, subject to certain business and market conditions, the purchase of up to one million shares of our common stock in the open market or
in privately negotiated transactions. Through June 30, 2008, there were no shares repurchased under this authorization.

On
April 4, 2008, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement providing for the sale of our DTS Digital Images business to Reliance Big Entertainment Private Limited. The sale was
consummated the same day. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, we received cash consideration of approximately $7.5 million.

On
May 9, 2008, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement providing for the sale of substantially all of our assets used predominantly in the conduct of our digital cinema
business to Beaufort California, Inc., a member of Beaufort International Group Plc. in England, and the assumption by Beaufort of certain liabilities of the DC business. The sale was
consummated the same

25

---



day.
Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we received cash consideration of approximately $3.3 million upon the closing of this sale, and we could receive an additional $11.7 million
in additional consideration. For the purposes of measuring the pre-tax loss on this sale, we have not attributed any fair value to the additional consideration.

We
are no longer funding the digital images or digital cinema businesses due to the closing of the sales transactions in April and May of 2008, respectively.

We
are currently reviewing plans to relocate our corporate headquarters within the same general area as our current headquarters. These plans are expected to be finalized later in 2008,
and we may incur approximately $20.0 million to $30.0 million in capitalized and non-capitalized costs during 2008 and 2009 for the potential purchase, relocation and
build-out of the new location.



As of June 30, 2008, we held approximately $21.5 million in auction rate securities. Due to recent events in the credit
markets, the auctions for our auction rate security instruments failed during 2008. We attribute the failed auctions to liquidity issues rather than credit quality issues, as the auction rate
securities held at June 30, 2008 are tax-exempt municipal bonds issued by governmental entities located within the United States that are insured and have a AAA rating. Due to the
loss of liquidity, the fair values of certain of these securities are estimated utilizing DCF analyses as of June 30, 2008. Our DCF analyses is based on a review of short-term
interest indices and our estimates for the amount and timing of future interest and principal payments and the rate of return required by investors to own these auction rate security instruments in
the current environment, among other relevant factors. These securities were also compared, when possible, to significant other observable market data.

As
a result of our DCF analyses, no valuation adjustments for unrealized or realized gains or losses were recorded as of June 30, 2008 or for the six months then ended. We believe
par value or cost is a reasonable approximation of fair value under the circumstances and given the information available in the absence of a liquid market. Further evidence includes the fact that
these securities have redemption features which call for redemption at 100% of par value. To date, certain of these securities held at June 30, 2008 have been redeemed or sold at par or cost.

Due
to our belief that it may take up to 15 to 18 months for all of the issuers to effect redemptions at par or for the auction markets to recover, $16.6 million of our
auction rate security instruments have been classified as long-term investments on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2008. The remaining $4.9 million of
our auction rate security instruments have been classified as short-term investments on the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2008 due to planned redemptions or sales in the
near term. Once it is determined that the auction markets have recovered, we will reclassify our auction rate security holdings currently classified as long-term investments back to
short-term investments. To date we have collected all interest receivable on our auction rate security instruments when due and expect to continue to do so in the future. Based on current
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment balances and expected operating cash flows, we do not anticipate a lack of liquidity associated with our auction rate securities to
adversely affect our ability to conduct business, and we believe that we have the ability and intent to hold these securities throughout the estimated 15 to 18 month recovery period.

We
believe that our cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital and capital expenditure
requirements for at least the next twelve months. Beyond the next twelve months, additional financing may be required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. Changes in our operating plans
including lower than anticipated revenues, increased expenses, acquisition of companies, products or technologies or other events, including those described in "Risk Factors" included elsewhere
herein, in our Form 10-K filed on March 3, 2008 and in other filings, may cause us to seek additional debt or equity financing on an

26

---



accelerated
basis. Financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and our failure to raise capital when needed could negatively impact our growth plans and our financial condition and
results of operations. Additional equity financing may be dilutive to the holders of our common stock and debt financing, if available, may involve significant cash payment obligations and financial
or operational covenants that restrict our ability to operate our business.



There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations since December 31, 2007, with the exception of the increased
obligations associated with our gross unrecognized tax benefits recorded in conjunction with the adoption of FIN 48. As of June 30, 2008, our total amount of unrecognized tax benefits
was $2.3 million and is considered a long-term obligation. We are currently unable to make reasonably reliable estimates of the periods of cash settlements associated with these
obligations.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and foreign exchange rates.

Our
interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates, particularly since a significant portion of our investments are and will be in
short-term and long-term marketable securities, U.S. government securities and corporate bonds. Due to recent events in the credit markets, the auctions for our auction rate
security instruments failed during 2008. We attribute the failed auctions to liquidity issues rather than credit quality issues, as the auction rate securities held at June 30, 2008 are
tax-exempt municipal bonds issued by governmental entities located within the United States that are insured and have a AAA rating. Due to our belief that it may take up to 15 to
18 months for all of the issuers to effect redemptions at par or for the auction markets to recover, $16.6 million of our auction rate security instruments have been classified as
long-term investments on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2008. The remaining $4.9 million of our auction rate security instruments have been classified
as short-term investments on the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2008 due to planned redemptions or sales in the near term. To date we have collected all interest receivable
on our auction rate security instruments when due and expect to continue to do so in the future. We have also successfully redeemed or sold some of the securities subject to failed auctions at par or
cost, with no losses. Due to the nature and maturity of our short-term investments, we have concluded that there is no material market risk exposure to our principal at June 30,
2008. Based on current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment balances and expected operating cash flows, we do not anticipate a lack of liquidity associated with our auction
rate security instruments to adversely affect our ability to conduct business, and we believe that we have the ability and intent to hold these securities throughout the estimated recovery period. In
the event that we are unable to sell the underlying securities at or above our carrying value, these securities may not provide us a liquid source of cash. The estimated average maturity of our
investment portfolio is less than one year. As of June 30, 2008, a one percentage point change in interest rates throughout a one-year period would have an annual effect of
approximately $1.1 million on our income before income taxes.

During
the six months ended June 30, 2008, we derived over 91% of our revenues from continuing operations from sales outside the United States, and maintain international
research, sales, marketing, and business development offices. Therefore, our results could be negatively affected by such factors as changes in foreign currency exchange rates, trade protection
measures, longer accounts receivable collection patterns, and changes in regional or worldwide economic or political conditions. The risks of our international operations are mitigated in part by the
extent to which our revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars and, accordingly, we are not exposed to significant foreign currency risk on these items. We do have foreign currency risk on certain
revenues and operating expenses such as salaries and overhead costs of our foreign operations and cash maintained by these operations. Revenues denominated in foreign currencies accounted for
approximately 3% of total revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2008. Operating expenses, including cost of sales, for our foreign subsidiaries were approximately $6.3 million in
the six months ended June 30, 2008. Based upon the expenses for the
six months ended June 30, 2008, a 1% change in foreign currency rates throughout a one-year period would have an immaterial annual effect on income from continuing operations before
income taxes.

Our
international business is subject to risks, including, but not limited to, differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations
and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility when compared to the United States dollar. Accordingly, our future results could be materially impacted by changes in these or other factors.

We
are also affected by exchange rate fluctuations as the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into the United States dollar in consolidation. As exchange
rates vary, these

28

---



results,
when translated, may vary from expectations and could adversely or positively impact overall profitability. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the impact of foreign exchange
rate fluctuations related to translation of our foreign subsidiaries' financial statements was immaterial to comprehensive income.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain 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")) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including
our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that as of the
end of the period covered by this report our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II        OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

None.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

Set forth below and elsewhere in this report and in other documents we file with the SEC are risks and uncertainties that could cause
our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this report and other public statements we make. If any of the following risks
actually occurs, our business, financial
condition, or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

The
risk factors described below provide updated information in certain areas, including the risks related to the digital images and cinema businesses which we no longer own, from the
risk factors described under Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, which was filed with the SEC on
March 3, 2008.

We
have also added a new risk factor under the following heading:



Risks Related to Our Business



Past growth in our business has been due in large part to the rapid growth in sales of Standard Definition DVD players and home theater
systems incorporating our technologies. As the markets for Standard Definition DVD players mature, we expect sales of Standard Definition DVD players to decline. To the extent that sales of Standard
Definition DVD players and home theater systems level off or decline, our business will be adversely affected. Additionally, the release and consumer adoption of next-generation optical
disc players has only just begun. While Toshiba Corporation recently announced that it has decided to discontinue sales and marketing of HD-DVD players, this is a relatively recent
development and there currently remains available at retail two competing formats for high-definition optical discs and consumers may not react favorably to having to make a choice between
formats. Even after the removal of HD-DVD hardware from retail outlets, there will still be pre-existing hardware and content in this format and there is a risk of consumer
confusion and frustration over the inability of a given format player to play a disc in the competing format. The slow adoption by consumers of next-generation optical disc players, as
well as the inability of Standard Definition DVD players to sustain their past growth rates, could adversely affect our business, as revenue and earnings derived from these new players and associated
home theater system sales may not fully replace the anticipated decline in revenue and earnings associated with Standard Definition DVD players and home theater systems. Even with the recent
resolution of the competing disc format conflict, the rate of consumer adoption and ultimate penetration of next-generation optical disc players

30

---



is
uncertain and may be slower than past growth rates of Standard Definition DVD players. In addition, if new technologies are developed for use with Standard Definition DVDs or new technologies,
including direct downloads of content, are developed or deployed that substantially compete with or replace Standard Definition DVDs as a dominant medium for consumer video entertainment, our
business, operating results and prospects could be adversely affected.



Negative trends in the general economy, including trends resulting from an actual or perceived recession, increased cost of
commodities, including oil, actual or threatened
military action by the United States and threats of terrorist attacks in the United States and abroad, could cause a decrease in consumer spending, including entertainment generally. Any reduction in
consumer confidence or disposable income in general may affect the demand for consumer electronics products that incorporate our digital audio technology.



Establishing, maintaining and strengthening our "DTS" brand is critical to our success. Our brand identity is key to maintaining and
expanding our business and entering new markets. Our success depends in large part on our reputation for providing high quality products, services and technologies to the consumer electronics products
industry and the entertainment industry. If we fail to promote and maintain our brand successfully, our business and prospects may suffer. Moreover, we believe that the likelihood that our
technologies will be adopted in industry standards depends, in part, upon the strength of our brand, because professional organizations and industry participants are more likely to incorporate
technologies developed by a well-respected and well-known brand into standards. Maintaining and strengthening our brand will depend heavily on our ability to develop innovative
technologies for the entertainment industry, to continue to provide high quality products and services, and to manage brand transition in connection with the recently completed sales of our digital
images and cinema businesses, which we may not do successfully. For example, if customers of the sold businesses do not receive the same level of service from the new owners, this may adversely affect
our brand to the extent divested assets display our trademarks or are otherwise associated with our brand. We may be required to expend substantial resources to ensure our reputation for high quality
products and technologies is not harmed as a result of actions or inaction on the part of the new owners. In addition, these efforts may divert management attention from our current business.



The market for our technology, products, and services is characterized by:



Our
future success depends on our ability to enhance our existing technology, products, and services and to develop acceptable new technology, products, and services on a timely basis.
The development of enhanced and new technology, products, and services is a complex and uncertain process requiring high levels of innovation, highly-skilled engineering and development personnel, and

31

---



the
accurate anticipation of technological and market trends. We may not be able to identify, develop, market, or support new or enhanced technology, products, or services on a timely basis, if at
all. Furthermore, our new technology, products, and services may never gain market acceptance, and we may not be able to respond effectively to evolving consumer demands, technological changes,
product announcements by competitors, or emerging industry standards. For example, we may not be able to effectively address concerns in the film and music industries relating to piracy in our current
or future products. Any failure to respond to these changes or concerns would likely prevent our technology, products, and services from gaining market acceptance or maintaining market share and could
lead to our technology, products and services becoming obsolete.



Protection of our intellectual property is critical to our success. Patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret laws and
confidentiality and other contractual provisions afford only limited protection and may not adequately protect our rights or permit us to gain or keep any
competitive advantage. We face numerous risks in protecting our intellectual property rights, including the following:



As
a result, our means of protecting our intellectual property rights and brands may not be adequate. Furthermore, despite our efforts, third parties may violate, or attempt to violate,
our intellectual property rights. Infringement claims and lawsuits would likely be expensive to resolve and would require management's time and resources. In addition, we have not sought, and do not
intend to seek, patent and other intellectual property protections in all foreign countries. In countries where we do not have such protection, products incorporating our technology may be lawfully
produced and sold without a license.



Companies that participate in the digital audio, digital image processing, consumer electronics, and entertainment industries hold a
large number of patents, trademarks, and copyrights, and are frequently involved in litigation based on allegations of patent infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights.
Intellectual property disputes frequently involve highly complex and costly scientific matters, and each party generally has the right to seek a trial by jury which adds additional costs and
uncertainty. Accordingly, intellectual property disputes, with or without merit, could be costly and time

32

---



consuming
to litigate or settle, and could divert management's attention from executing our business plan. In addition, our technology and products may not be able to withstand any third-party claims
or rights against their use. If we were unable to obtain any necessary license following a determination of infringement or an adverse determination in litigation or in interference or other
administrative proceedings, we may need to redesign some of our products to avoid infringing a third party's rights and could be required to temporarily or permanently discontinue licensing our
products.



The digital audio, consumer electronics, cinema and entertainment markets are intensely competitive, subject to rapid change, and
significantly affected by new product introductions and other market activities of industry participants. Our principal competitor is Dolby
Laboratories, Inc., who competes with us in most of our markets. We also compete with other companies offering digital audio technology incorporated into consumer electronics product and
entertainment mediums, including Fraunhofer Institut Integrierte Schaltungen, Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. (Philips), Microsoft Corporation, Sony Corporation, Thomson and SRS
Labs, Inc.

Many
of our current and potential competitors enjoy substantial competitive advantages, including:



As
a result, these current and potential competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards, or
customer requirements.

In
addition to the competitive advantages described above, Dolby also enjoys other unique competitive strengths relative to us. For example, it introduced multi-channel audio technology
before we did. Its technology has been incorporated in significantly more Standard Definition DVD players than our technology. It has also achieved mandatory standard status in product categories that
we have not, including Standard Definition DVD, for its stereo technology and terrestrial digital television broadcasts in the United States. As a result of these factors, Dolby has a competitive
advantage in selling its digital multi-channel audio technology to consumer electronics products manufacturers.

Sony
Corporation is both a competitor and a significant customer in most of our markets. If Sony decides to eliminate the use of our technology in its products or to compete with us more
aggressively in our markets, the revenues that we derive from Sony would be lower than expected.

33

---





We are dependent on our customers and licenseesincluding consumer electronics product manufacturers, semiconductor
manufacturers, producers and distributors of content for music, videos, and gamesto incorporate our technology in their products, purchase our products and services, or release their
content in our proprietary DTS audio format. Although we have contracts and license agreements with
many of these companies, these agreements do not require any minimum purchase commitments, are on a non-exclusive basis, and do not require incorporation or use of our technology,
trademarks or services. Our customers, licensees and other manufacturers might not utilize our technology or services in the future.



As of June 30, 2008, we held approximately $21.5 million of auction-rate securities. Recently, there have
been disruptions in the market for auction rate securities. All auction rate security instruments in our portfolio had failures at auction during 2008, and we may not be able to sell these securities
in a timely manner to meet a liquidity need. In the event that we are unable to sell the underlying securities at or above our carrying value, or at all, these securities may not provide us a liquid
source of cash in the future.



We expect to derive a significant percentage of our revenues from the technology, products, and services that we offer to manufacturers
of consumer electronics products. To date, the most significant driver for the use of our technology in the home theater market has been the release of major movie titles with DTS audio soundtracks.
We also believe that demand for our DTS audio technology in emerging markets for multi-channel audio, including homes, cars, personal computers, and video games and consoles, will be based on the
number, quality, and popularity of the audio DVDs, computer software programs, and video games either released with DTS audio soundtracks or capable of being coded and played in DTS format. Although
we have existing relationships with many leading providers of movie, music, computer, and video game content, we do not have contracts that require any of these parties to develop and release content
with DTS audio soundtracks. In addition, we may not be successful in maintaining existing relationships or developing relationships with other existing providers or new market entrants that provide
content. As a result, we cannot assure you that a significant amount of content in movies, audio DVDs, computer software programs, video games, or other entertainment mediums will be released with DTS
audio soundtracks. If the amount, variety, and popularity of entertainment content released with DTS audio soundtracks do not increase, consumer electronics products manufacturers that pay us
per-unit licensing fees may discontinue offering DTS playback capabilities in the consumer electronics products that they sell.



The market for consumer electronics products is intensely competitive and price sensitive. Retail prices for consumer electronics
products that include our DTS audio technology, such as Standard Definition DVD players and home theater systems, have decreased significantly and we expect prices to continue to decrease for the
foreseeable future. Declining prices for consumer electronics products could create downward pressure on the licensing fees we currently charge our customers who integrate our technology into the
consumer electronics products that they sell and distribute. Most of the consumer electronics products that include our audio technology also include Dolby's multi-channel

34

---



audio
technology. As a result of pricing pressure, consumer electronics products manufacturers who manufacture products in which our audio technology is not a mandatory standard could decide to
exclude our DTS audio technology from their products altogether.



Our licensing revenue from consumer electronics product manufacturers depends in large part upon the availability of ICs that implement
our technologies. IC manufacturers incorporate our technologies into these ICs, which are then incorporated into consumer electronics products. We do not manufacture these ICs, but rather depend on IC
manufacturers to develop, produce and then sell them to licensed consumer electronics product manufacturers. We do not control the IC manufacturers' decisions whether or not to incorporate our
technologies into their ICs, and we do not control their product development or commercialization efforts. If these IC manufacturers are unable or unwilling, for any reason, to implement our
technologies into their ICs, or if, for any reason, they sell fewer ICs incorporating our technologies, our operating results will be adversely affected.



Most of our revenues are generated from consumer electronics product manufacturers who license and incorporate our technology in their
consumer electronics products. Under our existing arrangements, these customers pay us per-unit licensing fees based on the number of consumer electronics products manufactured that
incorporate our technology. We rely on our customers to accurately report the number of units manufactured in collecting our license fees, preparing our financial reports, projections, budgets, and
directing our sales and product development efforts. Most of our license agreements permit us to audit our customers, but audits are generally expensive, time consuming, difficult to manage
effectively, dependent in large part on the cooperation of our licensees and the quality of the records they keep, and could harm our customer relationships. If any of our customer reports understate
the number of products they manufacture, we may not collect and recognize revenues to which we are entitled.



We expect our operating expenses to increase as we, among other things:



35

---





As
a result, we will need to grow our revenues and manage our costs in order to positively impact profitability. In addition, we may fail to accurately estimate and assess our increased
operating expenses as we grow.



Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:



In
the future, we may need to raise additional funds, and such funds may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. Furthermore, if we issue equity or debt securities to raise
additional funds, our existing stockholders may experience dilution, and the new equity or debt securities may have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders. If
we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to develop or enhance our products and services, execute our business plan, take advantage of future opportunities, or respond to
competitive pressures or unanticipated customer requirements. This may materially harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.



Although the first movie with a DTS audio soundtrack was released in 1993, we did not enter the home theater market until 1996, and our
technology has only recently been incorporated into other consumer electronics markets, such as car audio, personal computers, video games and consoles, portable electronics devices, and digital
satellite and cable broadcast products. More recently, we have entered into the "virtual" surround space with the asset acquisition of Spatializer Laboratories, Inc. and internal development of
technology that we have branded DTS Surround Sensation. We do not have experience in this specific segment of the market and it is dominated by existing technologies from companies including Dolby
Laboratories, Inc., SRS Labs, Inc. and BBE Sound, Inc. As a result, the demand for our technology, products, and services and the income potential of these businesses are
unproven. In addition, because the market for digital audio technology is relatively new and rapidly evolving, we have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business. We may make
errors in predicting and reacting to relevant business trends, which could harm our business. Before investing in our common stock, you should consider the risks, uncertainties, and difficulties
frequently encountered by companies in new and rapidly evolving markets such as ours. We may not be able to successfully address any or all of these risks.



Our technology or products could contain errors that could cause our products or technology to operate improperly and could cause
unintended consequences. If our products or technology contain errors we could be required to replace them, and if any such errors cause unintended consequences we could face claims for product
liability. Although we generally attempt to contractually limit our exposure to incidental and consequential damages, as well as provide insurance coverage to such events, if these contract provisions
are not enforced or are unenforceable for any reason, if liabilities

36

---



arise
that are not effectively limited, or if our insurance coverage is inadequate to satisfy the liability, we could incur substantial costs in defending and/or settling product liability claims.



Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to include in our annual reports on
Form 10-K our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We cannot assure you that our system of internal control will be effective in the
future as our operations and control environment change. If we cannot adequately maintain the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, our financial reporting may not be timely
and/or accurate. If reporting delays or errors actually occur, we could be subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the SEC. Moreover, even if we conclude that our
internal control is are effective, our independent registered public accounting firm may disagree. If our independent registered public accounting firm is not satisfied with our internal control over
financial reporting or the level at which our internal control over financial reporting is documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if the independent registered public accounting firm
interprets the requirements, rules or regulations differently than we do, then it may issue an adverse or qualified opinion. Any of the above outcomes could adversely affect our financial results or
result in a loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial information, which could materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.



Our licensing headquarters are located in Limerick, Ireland, and we market and sell our products and services outside the United
States. We currently have employees located in more than ten countries worldwide, and many of our customers and licensees are located outside the United States. As a key component of our business
strategy, we intend to expand our international sales. For the year ended December 31, 2007, over 90% of our revenues were derived internationally. We face numerous risks in doing business
outside the United States, including:



Such
factors could cause our future international sales to decline.

37

---



Our
business practices in international markets are also subject to the requirements of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. If any of our employees is found to have violated these
requirements, we could be subject to significant fines and other penalties.

Our
international revenue is mostly denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result, fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may make our technology, products, and
services more expensive for international customers, which could cause them to decrease their purchases from us. Expenses for our subsidiaries are denominated in their respective local currencies. As
a result, if the U.S. dollar weakens against the local currency, the translation of our foreign-currency-denominated expenses will result in higher operating expense without a corresponding increase
in revenue. Significant fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. The main foreign currencies we
encounter in our operations are the Yen, Euro, CAD, RMB and GBP. We do not currently engage in currency hedging activities to limit the risk of exchange rate fluctuations.



One of our key strategies is to expand our business operations in China. However, we may be unsuccessful in implementing this strategy
as planned or at all. Factors that could inhibit our successful expansion into China include its historically poor recognition of intellectual property rights and poor performance in stopping
counterfeiting and piracy activity. If we are unable to successfully stop unauthorized use of our intellectual property and assure compliance by our Chinese licensees, we could experience increased
operational and enforcement costs both inside and outside China.

Even
if we are successful in expanding into China, we may be greatly impacted by the political, economic, and military conditions in China, Taiwan, North Korea, and South Korea. Such
disputes may continue or escalate, resulting in economic embargos, disruptions in shipping, or even military hostilities. This could severely harm our business by interrupting or delaying production
or shipment of our products or products that incorporate our technology.



We have historically experienced moderate seasonality in our business due to our business mix and the nature of our products. Consumer
electronics manufacturing activities are generally lowest in the first calendar quarter of each year, and increase progressively throughout the remainder of the year. Manufacturing output is generally
strongest in the third and fourth quarters as our technology licensees increase manufacturing to prepare for the holiday buying season. Since recognition of revenues generally lags manufacturing
activity by one quarter, our revenues and earnings are generally lowest in the second quarter. The introduction of new products and inclusion of our technologies in new and rapidly growing markets can
distort and amplify the seasonality described above. For example, the introduction of next generation optical disc players may result in an overall near-term slowdown in our business as
sales of standard definition players slow in anticipation of purchasing next generation products, but purchases of next generation products are in an early-adopter only phase. Our revenues may
continue to be subject to fluctuations, seasonal or otherwise, in the future. Unanticipated fluctuations, whether due to seasonality, product cycles, or otherwise, could cause us to miss our earnings
projections, or could lead to higher than normal variation in short-term earnings, either of which could cause our stock price to decline.

In
addition, we actively engage in intellectual property compliance and enforcement activities focused on identifying third parties who have either incorporated our technology,
trademarks, or know-how without a license or who have underreported to us the amount of royalties owed under license agreements with us. As a result of these activities, from time to time,
we may recognize royalty revenues that relate to manufacturing activities from prior periods and we may incur expenditures

38

---



related
to enforcement activity. These expenditures and royalty recoveries, as applicable, may cause revenues to be higher than expected, or net profit to be lower than expected, during a particular
reporting period and may not recur in future reporting periods. Such fluctuations in our revenues and operating results may cause declines in our stock price.



Even if a standards-setting body mandates our technologies for a particular market, our technologies may not be the sole technologies
adopted for that market as an industry standard.



When a standards-setting body adopts our technologies as explicit industry standards, we generally must agree to license such
technologies on a fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory basis, which could limit our control over the use of these technologies. In these situations, we may be required to limit the
royalty rates we charge for these technologies, which could adversely affect our business. Furthermore, we may have limited control over whom we license such technologies, and may be unable to
restrict many terms of the license. From time to time, we may be subject to claims that our licenses of our industry standard technologies may not conform to the requirements of the standards-setting
body. Claimants in such cases could seek to restrict or change our licensing practices or our ability to license our technologies in ways that could injure our reputation and otherwise materially and
adversely affect our business, operating results and prospects.



Standards-setting bodies may require the use of so-called "open standards," meaning that the technologies necessary to meet
those standards are publicly available. The use of open standards may reduce our opportunity to generate revenue, as open standards technologies are based upon non-proprietary technology
platforms in which no one company maintains ownership over the dominant technologies.



Our success depends, in part, upon the continued availability and contributions of our management team and engineering and technical
personnel because of the complexity of our products and services. Important factors that could cause the loss of key personnel include:



The
loss of key personnel or an inability to attract qualified personnel in a timely manner could slow our technology and product development and harm our ability to execute our business
plan.

39

---





From time to time, one or a small number of our customers or licensees may represent a significant percentage of our revenue. For
instance, in 2007, two customers accounted for 17% and 15%, respectively, of revenues from our continuing operations. Although we have agreements with many of these customers, these agreements
typically do not require any material minimum purchases or minimum royalty fees and do not prohibit customers from purchasing products and services from competitors. A decision by any of our major
customers or licensees not to use our technologies, or their failure or inability to pay amounts owed to us in a timely manner, or at all, could have a significant adverse effect on our business.



We are subject to income taxes in both the United States and foreign jurisdictions. Our effective income tax rates have recently been
and could in the future be adversely affected by changes in tax laws or interpretations of those tax laws, by changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, by
discovery of new information in the course of our tax return preparation process, or by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities. Significant judgment is required in
determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We may
come under audit by tax authorities. For instance, the Internal Revenue Service has begun an examination of our 2005 federal income tax return during the fourth quarter of 2007. Although we believe
our tax estimates are reasonable, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could be materially different from our historical income tax provisions and accruals. Based on the
results of an audit or litigation, a material effect on our income tax provision, net income or cash flows in the period or periods for which that determination is made could result.



Technology standards are important in the audio and video industry as they help to assure compatibility across a system or series of
products. Generally, standards adoption occurs on either a mandatory basis, requiring a particular technology to be available in a particular product or medium, or an optional basis, meaning that a
particular technology may be, but is not required to be, utilized. For example, both our digital multi-channel audio technology and Dolby's have optional status in Standard Definition DVD and
Blu-ray Disc. In the standard for Blu-ray Disc, both DTS and Dolby technologies have been selected as mandatory standards for two-channel output. However, if either
or both of these standards are re-examined or a new standard is developed, we may not be included as mandatory in any such new or revised standard which would cause revenue growth in our
consumer business to be significantly lower than expected and could have a material adverse affect on our business.

Various
national governments have adopted or are in the process of adopting standards for all digital television broadcasts, including cable, satellite, and terrestrial. In the United
States, Dolby's audio technology has been selected as the sole, mandatory audio standard for terrestrial digital television broadcasts. As a result, the audio for all digital terrestrial television
broadcasts in the United States must include Dolby's technology and must exclude any other format, including ours. We do not know whether this standard will be reopened or amended. If it is not, our
audio technology may never be included in that standard. Certain large and developing markets, such as China, have not fully developed their digital television standards. Our technology may or may not
ultimately be included in these standards.

40

---



As
new technologies and entertainment media emerge, new standards relating to these technologies or media may develop. New standards may also emerge in existing markets that are
currently characterized by competing formats, such as the market for personal computers. We may not be successful in our efforts to include our technology in any such standards.



We recently sold the digital images and cinema businesses. Although the acquirers assumed liabilities relating to those businesses, we
may be subject to claims and lawsuits by third parties, including former vendors, employees and consultants of ours, related to actions or inaction by an acquirer. In addition, we agreed to indemnify
the acquirers against specified losses in connection with the sold businesses and retain responsibility for various legal liabilities that accrued prior to closing. If an acquirer makes an
indemnification claim or a third party commences an action against us or an acquirer, we may incur substantial expense and our management may have to devote a substantial amount of time resolving such
claims or defending against such actions, which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, we may be required to expend substantial resources trying to determine
which party has responsibility for a claim, even if we are ultimately found to be not responsible.



We expect to consider opportunities to acquire or make investments in other technologies, products, and businesses that could enhance
our technical capabilities, complement our current products and services, or expand the breadth of our markets. We have a limited history of acquiring and integrating businesses. Acquisitions and
strategic investments involve numerous risks, including:



If
we fail to properly evaluate and execute acquisitions and strategic investments, our management team may be distracted from our day-to-day operations, our
business may be disrupted, and our operating results may suffer. In addition, if we finance acquisitions by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders would be diluted.
Foreign acquisitions involve unique risks in addition to those mentioned above, including those related to integration of operations across different

41

---



geographies,
cultures and languages, currency risks and risks associated with the particular economic, political and regulatory environment in specific countries. Also, the anticipated benefit of our
acquisitions may not materialize, whether because of failure to obtain stockholder approval or otherwise. Future acquisitions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of our equity securities,
the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities or amortization expenses, or write-offs of goodwill, any of which could harm our operating results or financial condition. Future
acquisitions may also require us to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which may not be available on favorable terms or at all.



As a result of a combination of internal growth and growth through acquisitions, we expect to continue to experience growth in the
scope of our operations and the number of our employees. If this growth continues, it will place a significant strain on our management team and on our operational and financial systems, procedures,
and controls. Our future success will depend in part on the ability of our management team to manage any growth effectively. This will require our management
to:



Any
failure to successfully manage our growth could distract management's attention, and result in our failure to execute our business plan.



Some of our operations use substances regulated under various federal, state, local and international laws governing the environment,
including those governing the discharge of pollutants into the air and water, the management, disposal and labeling of hazardous substances and wastes and the cleanup of contaminated sites. We could
incur costs, fines and civil or criminal sanctions, third-party property damage or personal injury claims, or could be required to incur substantial investigation or remediation costs, if we were to
violate or become liable under environmental laws. Liability under environmental laws can be joint and several and without regard to comparative fault. The ultimate costs under environmental laws and
the timing of these costs are difficult to predict.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock



The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially due to many factors,
including:



42

---





In
addition, the stock market in general, and the Nasdaq Global Select Market and the market for technology companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations
that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Further, the market prices of securities of technology companies have been particularly volatile.
These broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market
price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against that company. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a
diversion of management's attention and resources.



As a result of our relatively small public float, our common stock may be less liquid than the common stock of companies with broader
public ownership. Among other things, trading of a relatively small volume of our common shares may have a greater impact on the trading price for our shares than would be the case if our public float
were larger.



Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Restated Bylaws contain provisions that could delay or prevent a change of control of our
company or changes in our Board of
Directors that our stockholders might consider favorable. Some of these provisions:



In
addition, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporate Law, which may prohibit certain business combinations with stockholders owning 15%
or more of our outstanding voting stock. These and other provisions in our Restated Certificate of Incorporation,

43

---



Restated
Bylaws and Delaware law could make it more difficult for stockholders or potential acquirors to obtain control of our Board or initiate actions that are opposed by the
then-current Board, including delay or impede a merger, tender offer, or proxy contest involving our company. Any delay or prevention of a change of control transaction or changes in our
Board could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
