**Note 1—Basisof Presentation**

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financialstatements of DTS, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordancewith accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and with theinstructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 ofRegulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the informationand footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in theUnited 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 afair statement of the Company’s financial position at March 31, 2007, andthe results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Allsignificant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2007 are notnecessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal yearending December 31, 2007. The information included in this Form 10-Qshould be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements andnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-Kfor the year ended December 31, 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in conformitywith accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requiresmanagement to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amountsof assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilitiesat the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenuesand expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ fromthose estimates. Certain prior year amounts in previously issued financialstatements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

In January 2007, the Company combined its Cinemaand Digital Images businesses into a single business known as “DTS DigitalCinema.” In February 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved aplan to sell its DTS Digital Cinema business to enable the Company to focusexclusively on licensing branded entertainment technology to the large andevolving audio, game console, personal computer, portable, broadcast, and othermarkets. The sales process has begun and is expected to conclude later in 2007.In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144,“Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” during thefirst quarter of 2007, DTS Digital Cinema’s assets and liabilities wereclassified as held for sale and its operations were classified as discontinuedoperations. As a result, the Company reclassified its balance sheets andstatements of operations for all periods presented in this report to reflectDTS Digital Cinema as discontinued operations. Depreciation and amortizationhas been eliminated from discontinued operations from the date the Board ofDirectors approved the plan to sell this business. In the statements of cashflows, the cash flows of discontinued operations are not separately classifiedor aggregated. The discontinued operations are reported in the respectivecategories of the statements of cash flows with those of continuing operations.For additional information, refer to Footnote 11 of the consolidated financialstatements, “Discontinued Operations.”

All discussions andamounts in this report, except for cash flows, for all periods presented relateto continuing operations only, unless otherwise noted.

**Note 2—RecentAccounting Pronouncements**

In February 2007, theFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assetsand Financial Liabilities.” This Standard allows companies to elect tofollow fair value accounting for certain financial assets and liabilities in aneffort to mitigate volatility in earnings without having to apply complex hedgeaccounting provisions. SFAS 159 is applicable only to certain financialinstruments and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15,2007. The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 159 effective January 1,2008. The Company is in the process of determining the effect, if any, theadoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on its financial statements.

**Note 3—Short-termInvestment Income**

In the first quarter of2007, the Company’s management identified an error in its accrued interestincome balances related to 2005 and 2006 that was corrected during the firstquarter of 2007. The correction had the effect of reducing short-terminvestments and decreasing interest income by $660. The correction hasdecreased income from continuing operations before income taxes by $660 andincome from continuing operations by $500. Although this correction was anout-of-period adjustment, the Company’s management determined that the effecton previously filed reports was not material.

**Note 5—BusinessCombinations**

In July 2004, theCompany completed the acquisition of QDesign Corporation for $1,500 in cash.Under the terms of the acquisition, the Company also contingently agreed to payan additional amount up to a maximum of $450 in cash, which is held by theCompany in a restricted account. The Company classifies the restricted cash inother current and non-current assets. The contingent payment is being accountedfor as compensation expense ratably over the three-year period ending July 2007,and will be paid out if certain criteria are met. Two payments of $150 eachwere made, one in 2005 and the other in 2006.

**Note 6—Bank Line ofCredit**

The Company has a $10,000 unsecured working capitalfacility that expires on June 30, 2007, and is renewable annually. Thebank agreement requires the Company to comply with certain covenants includinga tangible effective net worth of $60,000, increasing by 50% of net income onan annual basis. The covenants also require the Company to keep $2,000 in cashor securities at the issuing bank. At March 31, 2007, the Company wascompliant with all covenants under the bank agreement.

At March 31, 2007,there was no balance outstanding and $10,000 of available borrowings under thiscredit facility. Future borrowings will bear interest based on either of thetwo options the Company selects

at thetime of advances 1) a rate equal to 2% above the bank’s LIBOR, or2) a rate equal to the Base Rate as quoted from the bank less one-halfpercent. The annual commitment fee for this line of credit is not material.

**Note 7—Commitmentsand Contingencies**

**Indemnities,Commitments and Guarantees**

In the normal course ofbusiness, the Company makes certain indemnities, commitments and guaranteesunder which the Company may be required to make payments in relation to certaintransactions. These indemnities, commitments and guarantees include, amongothers, intellectual property indemnities to customers in connection with thesale of products and licensing of technology, indemnities for liabilitiesassociated with the infringement of other parties’ technology based upon theCompany’s products and technology, guarantees of timely performance of theCompany’s obligations, and indemnities to the Company’s directors and officersto the maximum extent permitted by law. The duration of these indemnities,commitments and guarantees varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite. Themajority of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees do not provide forany limitation of the maximum potential future payments that the Company couldbe obligated to make. The Company has not recorded a liability for theseindemnities, commitments or guarantees in the accompanying balance sheets, asfuture payment is not probable.

**Note 8—Income Taxes**

For the three months ended March 31, 2007, theCompany recorded an income tax provision of $1,050 on pre-tax income fromcontinuing operations of $3,033. This resulted in an effective tax rate of 35%.These rates differed from the statutory rates primarily due to tax exemptinterest and research and development credits. In determining the income taxprovision for continuing operations, the continuing operations were considereda stand alone entity. The residual amount due to the difference between theincome tax provision for the Company and the income tax provision forcontinuing operations was recorded in discontinued operations as its taxprovision.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adoptedFIN No. 48. The Company has also applied FSP FIN48-1, “Definition ofSettlement in FASB Interpretation 48” to clarify when a tax position has beensettled under paragraph 10(b) of FIN No. 48. Upon adoption of FIN No. 48,the Company recognized a $547 increase in tax reserves, which was accounted foras a reduction of $547 in the beginning retained earnings.

At the beginning of 2007, the Company’s liability foruncertain tax positions was $1.4 million, which was recorded in other long-termliabilities. The entire unrecognized tax benefits of $1.4 million would affectthe Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. At the beginning of 2007, therewas an immaterial liability for uncertain tax positions for the possiblepayment of interest and penalties. There were no significant changes incomponents of the liability in the first quarter of 2007. The Company does notcurrently anticipate its uncertain income tax positions will increase ordecrease prior to March 31, 2008, however, developments in this area coulddiffer from those currently expected. Such unrecognized tax positions, if everrecognized in the financial statements, would be recorded in the statement ofoperations as part of the income tax provision.

The Company may from time to time be assessed interestor penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessmentshistorically have been minimal and immaterial to the Company’s financialresults. In the event the Company has received an assessment for interest andpenalties, such items have been classified in the financial statements asincome tax expense.

With few exceptions, theCompany is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by taxauthorities for the years prior to 2004. The Internal Revenue Service concludedits regular audit of the Company’s 2003 tax returns in June 2006.

**Note 9—ComprehensiveIncome (Loss)**

During the quarter ended March 31,2007, the functional currency of one of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiarieschanged from the United States dollar to the currency of the primary economicenvironment in which it operates. The translation adjustments resulting fromtranslating the functional currency into United States dollars of $40 has been deferredas a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’equity. Comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2006and 2007 is $7,007 and $(725), respectively.

**Note 10—OperatingSegment and Geographic Information**

Prior to 2007, the Company operated its business inthree reportable segments: the Consumer business segment, the Cinema businesssegment and the Digital Images business segment. In January 2007, theCompany combined its Cinema and Digital Images businesses into a singlebusiness known as “DTS Digital Cinema.” In February 2007, the Company’sBoard of Directors approved a plan to sell its DTS Digital Cinema business. Dueto the plan of sale, DTS Digital Cinema has been classified as discontinuedoperations.

**Avica—A VariableInterest Entity**

In November 2006, the Company closed a worldwideexclusive license agreement with Avica Technology Corporation (“Avica”), aprovider of a suite of technologies, products and services that handle contentdelivery and presentation for digital distribution networks. Although theCompany currently has no ownership interest in Avica, it is considered to be avariable interest entity of the Company, in conformity with FIN 46(R), “Consolidationof Variable Interest Entities—an Interpretation of Accounting

----

Research Bulletin No.51,”as the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary of Avica. Therefore,the Company has included the assets, liabilities, and results of operations ofAvica in its consolidated financial statements from the date of the close ofthe license agreement. The Company expects the consolidation of Avica willcontinue to have an impact on its financial results from discontinuedoperations in future periods, because it will continue to recognize the operatinglosses generated by Avica given that Avica’s shareholders’ equity is in a netdeficit position.

While the Company has consolidated the liabilities ofAvica in accordance with FIN 46(R), it has no obligation to pay anyamounts to any of Avica’s creditors. As such, creditors of Avica lack anyrecourse to the assets of the Company.

The changes to the Company’stotal assets and total liabilities related to the consolidation of Avicaincluded in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets and liabilitiesof discontinued operations held for sale as of December 31, 2006 were$3,616 and $3,878, respectively. The changes to the Company’s total assets andtotal liabilities related to the consolidation of Avica included in the Company’sConsolidated Balance Sheets as assets and liabilities of discontinuedoperations held for sale as of March 31, 2007 were $1,684 and $2,327,respectively. Included in the loss from discontinued operations, net of tax forthe three months ended March 31, 2007 is Avica’s loss for this period of$381.

**Note 12—Net Income/(Loss)Per Common Share**

For the three months endedMarch 31, 2006 and 2007, 1,144 and 155 shares, respectively, of theCompany’s stock options and restricted stock were excluded from the calculationof diluted earnings/(loss) per share because their inclusion would have beenanti-dilutive.

**Note 13—StockRepurchase Plan**

In August 2006, the Company’s Board of Directorsauthorized, subject to certain business and market conditions, the purchase ofup to one million shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market or inprivately negotiated transactions. At March 31, 2007, there were no sharespurchased under this authorization. Any shares repurchased would be consideredtreasury stock.

**Forward-LookingStatements May Prove Inaccurate**

This Form 10-Qand the documents incorporated herein by reference contain forward-lookingstatements based on our current beliefs, expectations, estimates andprojections about our industry, and certain assumptions made by us. Words suchas “believes,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projections,” “may,” “potential,”“plan,” “continue” and words of similar effect, constitute “forward-lookingstatements.” The forward-looking statements contained in this report involveknown and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause ouractual results to be materially different from those expressed in or implied bythese statements. These factors include those listed under the “Risk Factors”section contained below and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, and theother 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, orachievements. We do not intend to update these forward-looking statements toreflect future events or circumstances. You should read the following discussionof our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with theconsolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements includedelsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

**Overview**

We are a leading provider of entertainment technology,products and services to the audio and image entertainment markets worldwide.Historically we have been focused on high quality digital multi-channel audio,commonly referred to as surround sound, which provides more than two-channelsof audio, allowing the listener to simultaneously hear discrete sounds frommultiple speakers. Our DTS digital multi-channel audio technology deliverscompelling surround sound for the motion picture and consumer electronicsmarkets. We also provide high quality digital image processing, enhancement andrestoration services for motion pictures, digital cinema, and televisioncontent.

In January 2007, we combined our Cinema andDigital Images businesses into a single business known as DTS Digital Cinema.In February 2007, our Board of Directors approved a plan to sell our DTSDigital Cinema business to enable us to focus exclusively on licensing brandedentertainment technology to the large and evolving audio, game console,personal computer, portable and broadcast markets. The sales process has begunand is expected to conclude later in 2007. The DTS Digital Cinema businessintends to focus on the potentially large and emerging market for digitalcinema products and services. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, during thefirst quarter of 2007, DTS Digital Cinema’s assets and liabilities wereclassified as held for sale and its operations were reported as discontinuedoperations. As a result, we reclassified our balance sheets and statements ofoperations for all periods presented in this report to reflect DTS DigitalCinema as discontinued operations. In the statements of cash flows, the cashflows of discontinued operations are not separately classified or aggregated.The discontinued operations are reported in the respective categories of thestatements of cash flows with those of continuing operations.

All discussions and amounts herein for all periodspresented relate to continuing operations only unless otherwise noted.

We derive revenues from licensing our audiotechnology, trademarks, and know-how under agreements with substantially all ofthe major consumer audio electronics manufacturers. Our business model providesfor these manufacturers to pay us a per-unit amount for DTS-enabled productsthat they manufacture. We also derive revenues from licensing our technology toconsumer semiconductor manufacturers. Through our DTS Entertainment label, wederive revenues from the sale of multi-channel music titles in our digitalmulti-channel format.

We actively engage in intellectual property complianceand enforcement activities focused on identifying third parties who have eitherincorporated our technology, trademarks, or know-how without a 

13

----

license or who haveunder-reported the amount of royalties owed under license agreements with us.We continue to invest in our compliance and enforcement infrastructure tosupport the value of our intellectual property to us and our licensees and toimprove the long-term realization of revenue from our intellectual property. Asa result of these activities, from time to time, we recognize royalty revenuesthat relate to consumer electronics manufacturing activities from priorperiods. These royalty recoveries may cause revenues to be higher than expectedduring a particular reporting period and may not occur in subsequent periods.While we consider such revenues to be a regular part our normal operations, wecannot predict the amount or timing of such revenues.

Our cost of revenues consists primarily of amountspaid for products and materials, salaries and related benefits for operationspersonnel, depreciation of operations equipment, amortization of acquiredintangibles and payments to third parties for licensing technology andcopyrighted material.

Our selling, general, and administrative expensesconsist primarily of salaries, commissions, and related benefits for personnelengaged in sales, corporate administration, finance, human resources,information systems, and legal and costs associated with promotional and otherselling activities. Selling, general, and administrative expenses also includeprofessional fees, facility-related expenses, and other general corporateexpenses.

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

We have a licensing teamthat markets our technology directly to large consumer electronics productsmanufacturers and semiconductor manufacturers. This team includes employeeslocated in the United States, China, England, Japan, Hong Kong and NorthernIreland. We sell music content released under our DTS Entertainment labelthrough exclusive distribution arrangements in the United States, Europe andJapan. We employ consultants to coordinate sales to independent retailers andwe sell this music directly to consumers through an online store and otherweb-based retailers.

**ManagementDiscussion Regarding Trends, Opportunities, and Challenges**

***Trends, Opportunities, and Challenges***

Our revenue is primarilydependent upon the DVD-based home theater market, which has experienced rapidgrowth over the past several years. However, we have recently experiencedsoftness in our DVD player trademark licensing program, and expect continuedsoftness in this area as the DVD player market transitions to high definitionformats. The success of DVD-Video-based systems and products has fueled ademand for higher quality entertainment in the home, and this demand isextending to the car audio and personal computer markets as well. In addition,we expect the recent acceleration of the market for high definition televisionsto drive demand for high definition optical disc players and advanced hometheater systems over the next several years. Because we have been selected as amandatory technology for next generation players, our revenue growth should moreclosely track the growth rate for sales of these players over the next severalyears. We expect that the market for high definition players will yield newgrowth that provides an offset to the expected further decline in DVD playershipments. Further, we believe that mandatory inclusion in next generationoptical disc standards will help to improve the adoption rate of ourtechnologies in other consumer products such as next generation video gameconsoles, personal audio and video players, personal computers and in-carentertainment systems. If we are removed from mandatory status in nextgeneration high definition optical disc standards, it would cause revenuegrowth to be significantly lower than expected and would have a materialadverse effect on our business.

In July 2004, we acquired QDesign Corporation, orQDesign, a company focused on lower bit-rate audio delivery technology. Themarket for higher quality entertainment is expanding into portable devices thatrequire the use of low-bit rate audio coding systems including portable audioplayers, PDAs and wireless handset applications. Concurrent with this trend,there is a growing need for a good link between home and portable devices thatpreserves as much quality as possible and allows consumers a seamlesstechnology solution for the storage and playback of their content. In October 2004,leveraging our existing research and development efforts and the intellectualproperty acquired in the QDesign acquisition, we launched our DTS-HDinitiative. This technology is a scalable coding system that will allow contentto be played in home and portable devices. We believe that the broad and robustnature of this offering improves the probability of inclusion of ourtechnologies in next generation products.

In January 2007, weannounced a partnership with Coding Technologies which will allow highdefinition broadcasts of MPEG-4 transmissions in the advanced AAC-Plus audiocodec to be transcoded to DTS Digital Surround in set-top boxes for playoutthrough DTS-capable AV receivers. This DTS/Coding Technologies solution has beenadopted as a mandatory part of Norway’s digital terrestrial set-top boxstandard.

**Critical AccountingPolicies and Estimates**

Management’s Discussionand Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon ourconsolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparationof our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments thataffect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, andrelated disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis,estimates and judgments are evaluated, including those related to revenuerecognition, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, impairment oflong-lived assets, stock-based compensation, and contingencies and litigation.These estimates and judgments are based on historical experience and on variousother assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, theresults of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying valuesof assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Bytheir nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty.Actual results may differ from these estimates. There has been no materialchange to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the informationprovided in our Form 10-K filed on March 16, 2007.

**Results ofOperations**

***Revenues***

Revenues for the threemonths ended March 31, 2007 decreased 39% to $12.6 million from$20.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The decreasein revenues was primarily attributable to a decrease in royalty recoveries of$9.2 million from intellectual property compliance and enforcement activities.We are continuing to experience solid growth in revenues from the car audiosystems market, which more than doubled during the first quarter of 2007relative to the first quarter of 2006. In addition, we received our firstrevenue contributions from Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD during the quarter ended March 31,2007, with such royalties comprising over 5% of total revenue for the period.However, we remain cautious in our overall outlook due to uncertaintiessurrounding the consumer electronics market, particularly with respect to thetiming and rate of adoption of the new high definition formats. We continue toexpect technology licensing revenues to grow modestly in 2007, driven primarilyby expected contributions from Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD based products such asgame consoles, PCs and DVD players.

15

----

***Gross Profit***

Consolidated gross profit forthe three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, was 98% of revenues inboth periods. We expect consolidated gross margins in the 97% to 98% range for2007.

***Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”)***

SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31,2007 increased 11% to $8.1 million from $7.3 million for the three monthsended March 31, 2006. The increase is primarily due to salaries andrelated costs, and increases in stock-based compensation expense related toadditional employee equity grants since March 31, 2006. We also incurredadditional expenses related to professional services to support our continuedgrowth.

We expect SG&Aexpenses to increase to support our growth initiatives including acquisitions,international expansion and intellectual property enforcement activitiesrelated to the launch of our DTS-HD initiative.

***Research and Development (“R&D”)***

R&D expenses for thethree months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, was $1.6 million in bothperiods. During the first quarter of 2007, we received expense reimbursementsunder certain research grants totaling approximately $0.2 million which wasoffset by small spending increases in salaries and related expenses. We willcontinue to invest in R&D to support our broadening product developmentagenda and the ongoing support of the rollout of Blu-Ray Disc and HD/DVD, andthus expect to see sequential growth through the remainder of the year.

***Interest and other Income, Net***

Interest income, net, forthe three months ended March 31, 2007 decreased 66% to $0.4 million from$1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The decrease isprimarily related to an adjustment recorded in the current period to correct anerror. In the first quarter of 2007, management identified an error in ouraccrued interest income balances related to 2005 and 2006 that was correctedduring the first quarter of 2007. The correction had the effect of reducingshort-term investments and decreasing interest income by $0.7 million. Thecorrection has decreased income from continuing operations before income taxesby $0.7 million and income from continuing operations by $0.5 million. Althoughthis correction was an out-of-period adjustment, management determined that theeffect on previously filed reports was not material. Going forward, we expectinterest income for the year to be approximately $3.5 million, based on thecurrent interest rate environment and current investment balances andallocations.

***Income Taxes***

For the three months endedMarch 31, 2007, we recorded an income tax provision of $1.1 million onpre-tax income from continuing operations of $3.0 million. For the three monthsended March 31, 2006, we recorded an income tax provision of $5.8 millionon pre-tax income from continuing operations of $12.5 million.

***Discontinued Operations***

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, for thethree months ended March 31, 2007 was $2.8 million compared to income fromdiscontinued operations, net of tax, of $0.3 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2006. This decrease of $3.1 million from $0.5 million for thethree months ended March 31, 2006 is largely the result of a decrease innet sales of $1.7 million, partially offset by a decrease 

16

----

in cost of sales of $1.0 million.There was also an increase of $1.6 million in SG&A expense and anincrease in R&D expense of $0.6 million. The decrease in revenue relatesprimarily to the recognition of approximately $1.3 million in deferred revenueand additional revenue from one customer in the three months ended March 31,2006. The change in cost of sales is due to the decreased sales. The increasedSG&A expenses is largely the result of professional service fees relatingto the sales process. The increase in R&D expenses is primarily due toseverance payments, additional stock-based compensation and professionalservices.

While we believe thelikelihood of an impairment of the DTS Digital Cinema business is remote, therecan be no assurance that a sale of these assets subsequent to quarter end willnot result in an impairment.

**Liquidity andCapital Resources**

At March 31, 2007, we had cash, cash equivalentsand short-term investments of $103.7 million, compared to $108.8 millionat December 31, 2006.

Net cash used in operating activities was$5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared tonet cash provided by operating activities of $9.4 million for the threemonths ended March 31, 2006. The primary drivers of the cash used inoperations were a combination of paying down our accounts payable in advance ofconverting to a new enterprise resource planning system on April 2 and an increasein accrued royalties. In April, we returned to our normal vendor payment cycleunder the new system, and we should see the collection of accrued royalties inthe near term.

Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $7.6 millionfor the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to net cash used ininvesting activities of $13.3 million for the three months ended March 31,2006. Cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31,2007 primarily consists of net sales of available for sale investments andmaturation of held to maturity securities of $9.8 million in total, offsetby purchases of property and equipment of $2.1 million, includingcapitalized costs of our new enterprise resource planning system for $0.7million.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $1.0 millionand $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006,respectively, and primarily consists of the exercise of stock options andrelated excess tax benefits.

In 2005, we entered into an agreement for the purchaseand implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system, or ERP, forapproximately $0.7 million. We expect that we will incur additional costsin the range of $1 million to $2 million over the next several yearsin connection with our ERP implementation. From inception of this projectthrough March 31, 2007, we incurred approximately $4.7 million, ofwhich $3.9 million has been capitalized to software.

On August 1, 2006, our Board of Directorsauthorized, subject to certain business and market conditions, the purchase ofup to one million shares of our common stock in the open market or in privatelynegotiated transactions. Through May 10, 2007, there were no sharespurchased under this authorization. Any shares repurchased would be consideredtreasury stock.

In August 2006, we announced that we werestudying the potential separation of our business and in November 2006, weannounced our intent to proceed with the separation of our Cinema and DigitalImages businesses from our Consumer licensing business. In January 2007, wecombined our Cinema and Digital Images businesses into a single business knownas “DTS Digital Cinema.” In February 2007, we announced that our Board ofDirectors had approved a plan to sell our DTS Digital Cinema business, whichwas created through the combination and restructuring of our Cinema and DigitalImages businesses, to enable us to focus exclusively on licensing brandedentertainment technology to the large and evolving audio, game console,personal computer, portable and broadcast markets. We are continuing to fundthe obligations of the DTS Digital Cinema business, and will through the closeof a sale

transaction. All expensesincurred relating to the sales transaction while classified as discontinuedoperations will continue to affect our liquidity and capital resources andutilize portions of the cash that is generated or held by DTS, Inc. Atthis time, we are unable in good faith to make a full determination of theestimated expenses which will be incurred relating to the sales transaction.The sales process has begun and is expected to conclude later in 2007.

We believe that our cash,cash equivalents, short-term investments, and cash flows from operations willbe sufficient to satisfy our working capital and capital expenditurerequirements for at least the next twelve months. Beyond the next twelvemonths, additional financing may be required to fund working capital andcapital expenditures. Changes in our operating plans including lower thananticipated revenues, increased expenses, acquisition of companies, products ortechnologies or other events, including those described in “Risk Factors”included elsewhere herein, in our Form 10-K filed on March 16,2007 and in other filings may cause us to seek additional debt or equityfinancing on an accelerated basis. Financing may not be available on acceptableterms, or at all, and our failure to raise capital when needed could negativelyimpact our growth plans and our financial condition and results of operations.Additional equity financing may be dilutive to the holders of our common stockand debt financing, if available, may involve significant cash paymentobligations and financial or operational covenants that restrict our ability tooperate our business.

**Recently IssuedAccounting Standards**

In February 2007, theFASB issued SFAS No. 159, “TheFair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ThisStandard allows companies to elect to follow fair value accounting for certainfinancial assets and liabilities in an effort to mitigate volatility inearnings without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159is applicable only to certain financial instruments and is effective for fiscalyears beginning after November 15, 2007. We plan to adopt SFAS No. 159effective January 1, 2008. We are in the process of determining theeffect, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on our financialstatements.

**Item 3.        Quantitative and Qualitative DisclosuresAbout Market Risk**

Market risk represents the risk of loss arising fromadverse changes in market rates and foreign exchange rates. At March 31,2007, we did not have any balances outstanding under our bank line of creditarrangement; however, the amount of outstanding debt at any time may fluctuateand we may from time to time be subject to refinancing risk.

Our interest income is sensitive to changes in thegeneral level of U.S. interest rates, particularly since a significant portionof our investments are and will be in short-term marketable securities, U.S.government securities and corporate bonds. Due to the nature and maturity ofour short-term investments, we have concluded that there is no material marketrisk exposure to our principal. The average duration of our investmentportfolio is typically less than 90 days. As of March 31, 2007, a 1%change in interest rates throughout a one-year period would have an annualeffect of approximately $1.1 million on our income before income taxes.

We derive in the range of 88% of our revenues fromcontinuing operations from sales outside the United States, and maintainresearch, sales, marketing, or business development offices in nine countries.Therefore, our results could be negatively affected by such factors as changesin foreign currency exchange rates, trade protection measures, longer accountsreceivable collection patterns, and changes in regional or worldwide economicor political conditions. The risks of our international operations aremitigated in part by the extent to which our revenues are denominated in U.S.dollars and, accordingly, we are not exposed to significant foreign currencyrisk on these items. We do have limited foreign currency risk on certainrevenues and operating expenses such as salaries and overhead costs of ourforeign operations and cash

----

maintained by theseoperations. Revenues denominated in foreign currencies accounted forapproximately 3% of total revenues during the three months ended March 31,2007. Operating expenses, including cost of sales, for our foreign subsidiarieswere approximately $0.6 million in the three months ended March 31,2007. Based upon the expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007, a1% change in foreign currency rates throughout a one-year period wouldhave an immaterial annual effect on operating income.

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

We are also affected byexchange rate fluctuations as the financial statements of our foreignsubsidiaries are translated into the United States dollar in consolidation. Asexchange rates vary, these results, when translated, may vary from expectationsand could adversely or positively impact overall profitability. During thethree months ended March 31, 2007, the impact of foreign exchange ratefluctuations related to translation of our foreign subsidiaries’ financialstatements was immaterial to comprehensive income.

**Item 4.**                        Controlsand Procedures

**Disclosure Controlsand Procedures**

We maintain disclosure controlsand procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-l5(e) and 15d-15(e) ofthe Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that aredesigned to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports wefile or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized andreported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of theSEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to ourmanagement, 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 supervisionand with the participation of our management, including our chief executiveofficer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosurecontrols and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.Based on such evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financialofficer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report ourdisclosure controls and procedures were effective.

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

**Item 1.**                        LegalProceedings

None.

**Item 1A.**                RiskFactors

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

**Risks Related toOur Business**

***The sale of our DTSDigital Cinema business or any failure to successfully manage and complete anundertaken sales transaction could adversely affect our business and operatingresults.***

In order to better addressrapidly evolving markets, meet the needs of customers and increase stockholdervalue, we are proceeding with the sale of our DTS Digital Cinema business. Thesales process may be costly. The sale might not be accomplished by the end of2007 or at all. The sales process requires significant time and attention fromour management, finance, accounting and legal teams, which could disrupt ourday-to-day operations and shift the allocation of these resources away frommatters related to our core business. In addition, implementing any transactionwould involve a number of operational, legal and, possibly, regulatory steps.Implementation could be costly, cause further disruption to our day-to-dayoperations, and result in the loss of customers and/or sales revenue, whichcould cause our business and operating results to suffer. Furthermore,implementation of a sale is a complicated process and there is a risk that wemay not be successful in the execution of our sales strategy, which could causeour business to suffer and our stock price to decline.

***Our business andprospects depend on the strength of our brand, and if we do not maintain andstrengthen our brand, our business will be materially harmed.***

Establishing, maintainingand strengthening our “DTS” brand is critical to our success. Our brandidentity is key to maintaining and expanding our business and entering newmarkets. Our success depends in large part on our reputation for providing highquality products, services and technologies to the entertainment industry andthe consumer electronics products industry. If we fail to promote and maintainour brand successfully, our business and prospects may suffer. Moreover, webelieve that the likelihood that our technologies will be adopted in industrystandards depends, in part, upon the strength of our brand, becauseprofessional organizations and industry participants are more likely toincorporate technologies developed by a well-respected and well-known brandinto standards. Maintaining and strengthening our brand will depend heavily onour ability to develop innovative technologies for the entertainment industry,to continue to provide high quality products and services, and manage brandtransition in connection with the process of selling the DTS Digital Cinemabusiness, which we may not do successfully.

20

----

***We may not be ableto evolve our technology, products, and services or develop new technology,products, and services that are acceptable to our customers or the changingmarket.***

The market for ourtechnology, products, and services is characterized by:

·       rapidtechnological change;

·       newand improved product introductions;

·       changingcustomer demands;

·       evolvingindustry standards; and

·       productobsolescence.

Our future success dependson our ability to enhance our existing technology, products, and services andto develop acceptable new technology, products, and services on a timely basis.The development of enhanced and new technology, products, and services is acomplex and uncertain process requiring high levels of innovation,highly-skilled engineering and development personnel, and the accurateanticipation of technological and market trends. We may not be able to identify,develop, market, or support new or enhanced technology, products, or serviceson a timely basis, if at all. Furthermore, our new technology, products, andservices may never gain market acceptance, and we may not be able to respondeffectively to evolving consumer demands, technological changes, productannouncements by competitors, or emerging industry standards. For example, wemay not be able to effectively address concerns in the film and musicindustries relating to piracy in our current or future products. Any failure torespond to these changes or concerns would likely prevent our technology,products, and services from gaining market acceptance or maintaining marketshare and could lead to our technology, products and services becoming obsolete.

***If we fail toprotect our intellectual property rights, our ability to compete could beharmed.***

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

·       ourpatents may be challenged or invalidated by our competitors;

·       ourpending patent applications may not issue, or if issued, may not providemeaningful protection for related products or proprietary rights;

·       wemay not be able to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of our technicalknowledge or other trade secrets by employees, consultants, and advisors;

·       wemay not be able to practice our trade secrets as a result of patent protectionafforded a third-party for such product, technique or process;

·       thelaws of foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property rights tothe same extent as the laws of the United States, and mechanisms forenforcement of intellectual property rights may be inadequate in foreigncountries;

·       ourcompetitors may produce competitive products or services that do not unlawfullyinfringe upon our intellectual property rights;

·       effortsto identify and prosecute unauthorized uses of our technology are timeconsuming, expensive, and divert resources from the operation of our business;and

·       wemay be unable to successfully identify or prosecute unauthorized uses of ourtechnology.

21

----

As a result, our means ofprotecting our intellectual property rights and brands may not be adequate.Furthermore, despite our efforts, third parties may violate, or attempt toviolate, our intellectual property rights. Infringement claims and lawsuitswould likely be expensive to resolve and would require management’s time andresources. In addition, we have not sought, and do not intend to seek, patentand other intellectual property protections in all foreign countries. Incountries where we do not have such protection, products incorporating ourtechnology may be lawfully produced and sold without a license.

***We may be sued bythird parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights.***

Companies that participatein the digital audio, digital image processing, consumer electronics, andentertainment industries hold a large number of patents, trademarks, andcopyrights, and are frequently involved in litigation based on allegations ofpatent infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights.Intellectual property disputes frequently involve highly complex and costlyscientific matters, and each party generally has the right to seek a trial byjury which adds additional costs and uncertainty. Accordingly, intellectualproperty disputes, with or without merit, could be costly and time consuming tolitigate or settle, and could divert management’s attention from executing ourbusiness plan. In addition, our technology and products may not be able towithstand any third-party claims or rights against their use. If we were unableto obtain any necessary license following a determination of infringement or anadverse determination in litigation or in interference or other administrativeproceedings, we may need to redesign some of our products to avoid infringing athird party’s rights and could be required to temporarily or permanentlydiscontinue licensing our products.

***We face intense competition.Many of our competitors have greater brand recognition and resources than wedo.***

Thedigital audio, digital imaging, consumer electronics, cinema and entertainmentmarkets are intensely competitive, subject to rapid change, and significantly affectedby new product introductions and other market activities of industryparticipants. Our principal competitor is Dolby Laboratories, Inc., whocompetes with us in most of our markets. We also compete with other companiesoffering:

·       digitalaudio technology incorporated into consumer electronics products andentertainment mediums, including Coding Technologies, Fraunhofer InstitutIntegrierte Schaltungen, Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. (Philips),Meridian Audio Limited, Microsoft Corporation, Sony Corporation, and Thomson;

Manyof our current and potential competitors enjoy substantial competitiveadvantages, including:

·       greatername recognition;

·       alonger operating history;

·       moredeveloped distribution channels and deeper relationships with our commoncustomer base;

·       amore extensive customer base;

·       digitaltechnologies that provide features that ours do not;

·       broaderproduct and service offerings;

·       greaterresources for competitive activities, such as research and development,strategic acquisitions, alliances, joint ventures, sales and marketing, andlobbying industry and government standards;

·       moretechnicians and engineers; and

·       greatertechnical support.

As a result, these currentand potential competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectivelythan we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards, orcustomer requirements.

In addition to thecompetitive advantages described above, Dolby also enjoys other uniquecompetitive strengths relative to us. For example, it introduced multi-channelaudio technology before we did and has a larger base of installed movietheaters for its cinema playback equipment. Its technology has beenincorporated in significantly more DVD-Video films than our technology. It hasalso achieved mandatory standard status in product categories that we have not,including DVD-Video and DVD-Audio Recordable, for its stereo technology andterrestrial digital television broadcasts in the United States. It alsocurrently has more depth in digital cinema. As a result of these factors, Dolbyhas a competitive advantage in selling its digital multi-channel audiotechnology to consumer electronics products manufacturers and in sellingproducts and services designed for use in the digital cinema space.

Sony Corporation is both acompetitor and a significant customer in most of our markets. If Sony decidesto eliminate the use of our technology in its products or to compete with usmore aggressively in our markets, the revenues that we derive from Sony wouldbe lower than expected.

***We do not expect sales of traditional consumer DVD playersto sustain their past growth rates. To the extent that sales of DVD players andhome theater systems level off or decline, or alternative technologies in whichwe do not participate replace DVDs as a dominant medium for consumer videoentertainment, our business will be adversely affected.***

Growth in our businessover the past several years is due in large part to the rapid growth in salesof DVD players and home theater systems incorporating our technologies. As themarkets for DVD players mature, we do not expect sales of traditional consumerDVD players to sustain their past growth rates. To the extent that sales of DVDplayers and home theater systems level off or decline, our business will beadversely affected. Additionally, the release and consumer adoption ofnext-generation optical disc players has only just begun. There are currentlytwo competing formats for high-definition optical discs and consumers may notreact favorably to having to make a choice between formats. There is also therisk of consumer confusion and frustration over the inability of a given formatplayer to play a disc in the competing format. The slow uptake by consumers ofthese new formats, as well as the inability of traditional DVD players tosustain their past growth rates, could adversely affect our business, asrevenue and earnings derived from these new players and associated home theatersystem sales may not fully replace the anticipated decline in revenue andearnings associated with traditional DVD players and home theater systems. Evenassuming resolution of the competing disc format conflict, the rate of consumeradoption and ultimate penetration of next-generation optical disc players isuncertain and may be slower than past growth rates of traditional DVD players.In addition, if new technologies are developed for use with DVDs or newtechnologies are developed that substantially compete with or replace DVDs as adominant medium for consumer video entertainment, our business, operatingresults and prospects will be adversely affected.

***We have limitedcontrol over existing and potential customers’ and licensees’ decisions toinclude our technology in certain of their product offerings.***

We are dependent on ourcustomers and licensees—including consumer electronics products manufacturers, semiconductormanufacturers, movie theaters, producers and distributors of content for music,films, videos, and games and builders and integrators of digital cinemanetworks—to incorporate our technology in their products, purchase our productsand services, or release their content in our proprietary DTS audio format.Although we have contracts and license agreements with many of these companiesother than builders and integrators of digital cinema networks, theseagreements do not require any minimum purchase commitments, are on anon-exclusive basis, and do not require incorporation or use of our technology,trademarks or services. Our customers, licensees and other manufacturers mightnot utilize our technology or services in the future.

***If we are unable tomaintain and increase the amount of entertainment content released with DTSaudio soundtracks, demand for the technology, products, and services that weoffer to consumer electronics products manufacturers may significantly decline.***

We expect to derive asignificant percentage of our revenues from the technology, products, andservices that we offer to manufacturers of consumer electronics products. Todate, the most significant driver for the use of our technology in the hometheater market has been the release of major movie titles with DTS audiosoundtracks. We also believe that demand for our DTS audio technology inemerging markets for multi-channel audio, including homes, cars, personalcomputers, and video games and consoles, will be based on the number, quality,and popularity of the audio DVDs, computer software programs, and video gamesreleased with DTS audio soundtracks. Although we have existing relationshipswith many leading providers of movie, music, computer, and video game content,we do not have contracts that require any of these parties to develop andrelease content with DTS audio soundtracks. In addition, we may not besuccessful in maintaining existing relationships or developing relationshipswith other existing providers or new market entrants that provide content. As aresult, we cannot assure you that a significant amount of content in movies,audio DVDs, computer software programs, video games, or other entertainmentmediums will be released with DTS audio soundtracks. If the amount, variety,and popularity of entertainment content released with DTS audio soundtracks donot increase, consumer electronics products manufacturers that pay us per-unitlicensing fees may discontinue offering DTS playback capabilities in theconsumer electronics products that they sell.

***Declining retailprices for consumer electronics products or video content could force us tolower the license or other fees we charge our customers.***

The market for consumer electronics products isintensely competitive and price sensitive. Retail prices for consumerelectronics products that include our DTS audio technology, such as DVD playersand home theater systems, have decreased significantly and we expect prices tocontinue to decrease for the foreseeable future. Declining prices for consumerelectronics products could create downward pressure on the licensing fees wecurrently charge our customers who integrate our technology into the consumerelectronics products that they sell and distribute. Most of the consumerelectronics products that include our audio technology also include Dolby’smulti-channel audio technology. As a result of pricing pressure, consumerelectronics products manufacturers who manufacture products in which our audiotechnology is not a mandatory standard could decide to exclude our DTS audiotechnology from their products altogether.

The market for consumervideo products is also intensely competitive and price sensitive. Retail pricesfor consumer video products have experienced price pressure and we expect thisprice pressure to continue for the foreseeable future. Declining retail pricesfor such video products could create downward pressure on the fees we chargeour customers for the image processing, enhancement and restoration services we

24

----

provide.If the motion picture studios, content owners, producers or distributors wereto believe that the existing image quality is satisfactory or that the pricingfor our services is too high, they could decide to not use our servicesaltogether.

***Our licensingrevenue depends in large part upon semiconductor manufacturers incorporatingour technologies into integrated circuits, or ICs, for sale to our consumerelectronics product licensees and if, for any reason, our technologies are notincorporated in these ICs or fewer ICs are sold that incorporate ourtechnologies, our operating results would be adversely affected.***

Our licensing revenue fromconsumer electronics product manufacturers depends in large part upon theavailability of ICs, that implement our technologies. IC manufacturersincorporate our technologies into these ICs, which are then incorporated inconsumer electronics products. We do not manufacture these ICs, but ratherdepend on IC manufacturers to develop, produce and then sell them to licensedconsumer electronics product manufacturers. We do not control the ICmanufacturers’ decisions whether or not to incorporate our technologies intotheir ICs, and we do not control their product development or commercializationefforts. If these IC manufacturers are unable or unwilling, for any reason, toimplement our technologies into their ICs, or if, for any reason, they sellfewer ICs incorporating our technologies, our operating results will beadversely affected.

***We rely on theaccuracy of our customers’ manufacturing reports for reporting and collectingour revenues, and if these reports are untimely or incorrect, our revenuescould be delayed or inaccurately reported.***

A significant percentageof our revenues are generated from consumer electronics products manufacturerswho license and incorporate our technology in their consumer electronicsproducts. Under our existing arrangements, these customers pay us per-unitlicensing fees based on the number of consumer electronics products manufacturedthat incorporate our technology. We rely on our customers to accurately reportthe number of units manufactured in collecting our license fees, preparing ourfinancial reports, projections, budgets, and directing our sales and productdevelopment efforts. Most of our license agreements permit us to audit ourcustomers, but audits are generally expensive, time consuming, difficult tomanage effectively, dependent in large part on the cooperation of our licenseesand the quality of the records they keep, and could harm our customerrelationships. If any of our customer reports understate the number of productsthey manufacture, we may not collect and recognize revenues to which we areentitled.

***Because we expectour operating expenses to increase in the future, we may not be able to sustainor increase our profitability.***

Although we havebeen in business since 1990, we have only achieved annual profitability sincefiscal 2001. We expect our operating expenses to increase as we, among otherthings:

·       expandour domestic and international sales and marketing activities;

·       developand roll out our digital cinema products and services;

·       proceedwith the sale of our DTS Digital Cinema business;

·       restructureour international operations;

·       adopta more product-centric business model which is expected to entail additionalhiring;

·       acquirebusinesses or technologies and integrate them into our existing organization;

·       increaseour research and development efforts to advance our existing technology,products, and services and develop new technology, products, and services;

25

----

·       hireadditional personnel, including engineers and other technical staff;

·       upgradeour operational and financial systems, procedures, and controls; and

·       continueto assume the responsibilities of being a public company.

As a result, we will needto grow our revenues in order to maintain and increase our profitability. Inaddition, we may fail to accurately estimate and assess our increased operatingexpenses as we grow.

***Our future capitalneeds are uncertain and we may need to raise additional funds in the future,and such funds may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.***

Our capitalrequirements will depend on many factors, including:

·       acceptanceof, and demand for, our products and technology;

·       thecosts of developing new products or technology;

·       theextent to which we invest in new technology and research and developmentprojects, including without limitation, digital cinema;

·       thenumber and timing of acquisitions and other strategic transactions;

·       theextent to which we deploy our digital cinema products to theaters;

·       thecosts associated with our expansion, if any; and

·       thesale of our DTS Digital Cinema business.

In the future, we may needto raise additional funds, and such funds may not be available on favorableterms, or at all. Furthermore, if we issue equity or debt securities to raiseadditional funds, our existing stockholders may experience dilution, and thenew equity or debt securities may have rights, preferences, and privilegessenior to those of our existing stockholders. If we cannot raise funds onacceptable terms, we may not be able to develop or enhance our products andservices, execute our business plan, take advantage of future opportunities, orrespond to competitive pressures or unanticipated customer requirements. Thismay materially harm our business, results of operations, and financialcondition.

***We have a limitedoperating history in our new and evolving markets.***

Although the first moviewith a DTS audio soundtrack was released in 1993, we did not enter the hometheater market until 1996, and our technology has only recently beenincorporated into other consumer electronics markets, such as car audio,personal computers, video games and consoles, portable electronics devices, anddigital satellite and cable broadcast products. In addition, while we havecompleted over 100 digital image processing, enhancement and restoration filmprojects, it is only recently that a large number of these projects have beencompleted. As a result, the demand for our technology, products, and servicesand the income potential of these businesses are unproven. In addition, becausethe market for digital audio technology and image services is relatively newand rapidly evolving, we have limited insight into trends that may emerge andaffect our business. We may make errors in predicting and reacting to relevantbusiness trends, which could harm our business. Before investing in our commonstock, you should consider the risks, uncertainties, and difficultiesfrequently encountered by companies in new and rapidly evolving markets such asours. We may not be able to successfully address any or all of these risks.

***Our technology andproducts are complex and may contain errors that could cause us to losecustomers, damage our reputation, or incur substantial costs.***

Our technology or productscould contain errors that could cause our products or technology to operateimproperly and could cause unintended consequences. If our products ortechnology contain 

26

----

errorswe could be required to replace them, and if any such errors cause unintendedconsequences we could face claims for product liability. Although we generallyattempt to contractually limit our exposure to incidental and consequentialdamages, as well as provide insurance coverage to such events, if thesecontract provisions are not enforced or are unenforceable for any reason, ifliabilities arise that are not effectively limited, or if our insurancecoverage is inadequate to satisfy the liability, we could incur substantialcosts in defending and/or settling product liability claims.

***Issues arising fromthe implementation of our new enterprise resource planning system could affectour operating results and ability to manage our business effectively.***

We recently began toimplement an enterprise resource planning, or ERP, system to enhance operatingefficiencies and provide more effective management of our business operations.Implementing a new ERP system is costly and involves risks inherent in theconversion to a new computer system, including disruption to our normalaccounting procedures and internal control over financial reporting andproblems achieving accuracy in the conversion of electronic data. Failure toproperly or adequately address these issues could result in increased costs,the diversion of management’s and employees’ attention and resources and couldmaterially adversely affect our operating results, internal control overfinancial reporting and ability to manage our business effectively. While theERP system is intended to improve and enhance our information systems, largescale implementation of new information systems exposes us to the risks ofstart up of the new system and integration of that system with our existingsystems and processes, including possible disruption of our financialreporting, which could lead to a failure to make required filings under thefederal securities laws on a timely basis. In addition, if we fail to implementthe ERP system or fail to implement the ERP system successfully, we willcontinue to rely on our current information systems.

***We cannot becertain of the future effectiveness of our internal controls over financialreporting or the impact thereof on our operations or the market price of ourcommon stock.***

Pursuant to Section 404of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to include in our annualreports on Form 10-K our assessment of the effectiveness of ourinternal controls over financial reporting. We cannot assure you that oursystem of internal controls will be effective in the future as our operationsand control environment change. If we cannot adequately maintain theeffectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, our financialreporting may be inaccurate. If reporting errors actually occur, we could besubject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as theSEC. These results could adversely affect our financial results or the marketprice of our common stock. If our independent registered public accounting firmis unable to provide us with an unqualified report as to the adequacy of ourinternal controls over financial reporting as required by Section 404 ofthe Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, investors could lose confidence in the reliabilityof our financial statements, which could result in a decrease in the value ofour stock.

***We are subject toadditional risks associated with our international operations.***

We market and sellour products and services outside the United States, and currently haveemployees located in more than ten countries worldwide. Many of our customersand licensees are located outside the United States. As a key component of ourbusiness strategy, we intend to expand our international sales. During fiscal2006, approximately 71% of our revenues were derived internationally. We facenumerous risks in doing business outside the United States, including:

·       unusualor burdensome foreign laws or regulatory requirements or unexpected changes tothose laws or requirements;

27

----

·       tariffs,trade protection measures, import or export licensing requirements, tradeembargos, and other trade barriers;

·       difficultiesin staffing and managing foreign operations;

·       competitionfrom foreign companies;

·       dependenceon foreign distributors and their sales channels;

·       longeraccounts receivable collection cycles and difficulties in collecting accountsreceivable;

·       lesseffective and less predictable protection of intellectual property;

·       changesin the political or economic condition of a specific country or region,particularly in emerging markets;

·       fluctuationsin the value of foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar and the cost ofcurrency exchange; and

·       potentiallyadverse tax consequences.

Such factors could cause our future internationalsales to decline.

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

Our international revenueis mostly denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result, fluctuations in the valueof the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may make our technology, products,and services more expensive for international customers, which could cause themto decrease their purchases from us. Expenses for our subsidiaries aredenominated in their respective local currencies. Significant fluctuations inthe value of the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies could have a material impacton our consolidated financial statements. The main foreign currencies weencounter in our operations are the Yen, Euro, RMB and GBP. We do not currentlyengage in currency hedging activities to limit the risk of exchange ratefluctuations.

***We face risks inexpanding our business operations in China.***

One of our key strategies is to expand our businessoperations in China. However, we may be unsuccessful in implementing thisstrategy as planned or at all. Factors that could inhibit our successfulexpansion into China include its historically poor recognition of intellectualproperty rights and poor performance in stopping counterfeiting and piracyactivity. If we are unable to successfully stop unauthorized use of ourintellectual property and assure compliance by our Chinese licensees, we couldexperience increased operational and enforcement costs both inside and outsideChina.

Even if we are successfulin expanding into China, we may be greatly impacted by the political, economic,and military conditions in China, Taiwan, North Korea, and South Korea. Thesecountries have periodically conducted military exercises in or near the other’sterritorial waters and airspace. Such disputes may continue or escalate,resulting in economic embargos, disruptions in shipping, or even militaryhostilities. This could severely harm our business by interrupting or delayingproduction or shipment of our products or products that incorporate ourtechnology.

***A prolongedeconomic downturn could materially harm our business.***

Negative trends in thegeneral economy, including trends resulting from actual or threatened militaryaction by the United States and threats of terrorist attacks in the UnitedStates and abroad, could cause a decrease in consumer spending on entertainmentin general. Any reduction in consumer confidence or disposable income ingeneral may affect the demand for consumer electronics products thatincorporate 

28

----

ourdigital audio technology and demand by film studios and movie theaters for ourcinema products and services.

***We may notsuccessfully address problems encountered in connection with any acquisitions.***

We acquired DTS DIin January 2005, and we expect to consider additional opportunities toacquire or make investments in other technologies, products, and businessesthat could enhance our technical capabilities, complement our current productsand services, or expand the breadth of our markets, including withoutlimitation the potential acquisition of substantially all of the assets ofAvica. We have a limited history of acquiring and integrating businesses.Acquisitions and strategic investments involve numerous risks, including:

·       problemsassimilating the purchased technologies, products, or business operations;

·       significantfuture charges relating to in-process research and development and theamortization of intangible assets;

·       significantamount of goodwill that is not amortizable and is subject to annual impairmentreview;

·       problemsmaintaining uniform standards, procedures, controls, and policies;

·       unanticipatedcosts associated with the acquisition, including accounting charges, capitalexpenditures, and transaction expenses;

·       diversionof management’s attention from our core business;

·       adverseeffects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers;

·       risksassociated with entering markets in which we have no or limited priorexperience;

·       unanticipatedor unknown liabilities relating to the acquired businesses;

·       theneed to integrate accounting, management information, manufacturing, humanresources and other administrative systems to permit effective management; and

·       potentialloss of key employees of acquired organizations.

If we fail to properlyevaluate and execute acquisitions and strategic investments, our managementteam may be distracted from our day-to-day operations, our business may bedisrupted, and our operating results may suffer. In addition, if we financeacquisitions by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, our existingstockholders would be diluted. Foreign acquisitions involve unique risks inaddition to those mentioned above, including those related to integration ofoperations across different geographies, cultures and languages, currency risksand risks associated with the particular economic, political and regulatoryenvironment in specific countries. Also, the anticipated benefit of ouracquisitions may not materialize, whether because of failure to obtainstockholder approval or otherwise. Future acquisitions could result inpotentially dilutive issuances of our equity securities, the incurrence ofdebt, contingent liabilities or amortization expenses, or write-offs ofgoodwill, any of which could harm our operating results or financial condition.Future acquisitions may also require us to obtain additional equity or debtfinancing, which may not be available on favorable terms or at all.

***We may havedifficulty managing any growth that we might experience.***

As a result of acombination of internal growth and growth through acquisitions, we expect to continueto experience growth in the scope of our operations and the number of ouremployees. If this growth continues, it will place a significant strain on ourmanagement team and on our operational and 

29

----

financialsystems, procedures, and controls. Our future success will depend in part onthe ability of our management team to manage any growth effectively. This willrequire our management to:

·       hireand train additional personnel in the United States and internationally;

·       implementand improve our operational and financial systems, procedures, and controls;

·       maintainour cost structure at an appropriate level based on the revenues we generate;

·       managemultiple concurrent development projects; and

·       manageoperations in multiple time zones with different cultures and languages.

Any failure tosuccessfully manage our growth could distract management’s attention, andresult in our failure to execute our business plan. For instance, ouracquisition of DTS DI required significant time and attention from our managementteam. Any future growth could cause similar management challenges or createdistractions.

***We may experiencefluctuations in our operating results.***

We have historically experienced moderate seasonalityin our business due to our business mix and the nature of our products. In ourconsumer business, consumer electronics manufacturing activities are generallylowest in the first calendar quarter of each year, and increase progressivelythroughout the remainder of the year. Manufacturing output is generallystrongest in the third and fourth quarters as our technology licensees increasemanufacturing to prepare for the holiday buying season. Since recognition ofrevenues in our consumer business generally lags manufacturing activity by onequarter, our revenues and earnings from the consumer business are generallylowest in the second quarter. Film licensing revenues are generally strongestin the second and fourth quarters due to the abundance of movies typicallyreleased during the summer and year-end holiday seasons. The introduction ofnew products and inclusion of our technologies in new and rapidly growingmarkets can distort and amplify the seasonality described above. For example,the introduction of next generation optical disc players may result in anoverall near-term slowdown in our business as sales of standard definitionplayers slow in anticipation of purchasing next generation products, butpurchases of next generation products are in an early-adopter only phase.Similar issues may affect our cinema hardware business during the expectedtransition to digital cinema. Our revenues may continue to be subject tofluctuations, seasonal or otherwise, in the future. Unanticipated fluctuations,whether due to seasonality, product cycles, or otherwise, could cause us tomiss our earnings projections, or could lead to higher than normal variation inshort-term earnings, either of which could cause our stock price to decline.

In addition, we activelyengage in intellectual property compliance and enforcement activities focusedon identifying third parties who have either incorporated our technology,trademarks, or know-how without a license or who have underreported to us theamount of royalties owed under license agreements with us. As a result of theseactivities, from time to time, we may recognize royalty revenues that relate toconsumer electronics manufacturing activities from prior periods and we mayincur expenditures related to enforcement activity. These expenditures androyalty recoveries, as applicable, may cause revenues to be higher thanexpected, or net profit to be lower than expected, during a particularreporting period and may not recur in future reporting periods. Suchfluctuations in our revenues and operating results may cause declines in ourstock price.

***Even if ourtechnologies are adopted as an industry standard for a particular market,market participants may not widely adopt our technologies.***

Even if astandards-setting body mandates our technologies for a particular market, our technologiesmay not be the sole technologies adopted for that market as an industrystandard. Accordingly, our 

30

----

businessmay depend upon participants in that market choosing to adopt our technologiesinstead of or in addition to competitive technologies that also may beacceptable under such standard.

***Our licensing ofindustry standard technologies can be subject to limitations that couldadversely affect our business and prospects.***

When a standards-settingbody adopts our technologies as explicit industry standards, we generally mustagree to license such technologies on a fair, reasonable and non-discriminatorybasis, which could limit our control over the use of these technologies. Inthese situations, we may be required to limit the royalty rates we charge forthese technologies, which could adversely affect our business. Furthermore, wemay be unable to limit to whom we license such technologies, and may be unableto restrict many terms of the license. From time to time, we may be subject toclaims that our licenses of our industry standard technologies may not conformto the requirements of the standards-setting body. Claimants in such casescould seek to restrict or change our licensing practices or our ability tolicense our technologies in ways that could injure our reputation and otherwisematerially and adversely affect our business, operating results and prospects.

***Our ability todevelop proprietary technology in markets in which “open standards” are adoptedmay be limited, which could adversely affect our ability to generate revenue.***

Standards-setting bodies,such as those for digital cinema technologies, may require the use of so-called“open standards,” meaning that the technologies necessary to meet thosestandards are publicly available. The use of open standards may reduce ouropportunity to generate revenue, as open standards technologies are based uponnon-proprietary technology platforms in which no one company maintainsownership over the dominant technologies.

***We are dependent onour management team and technical talent.***

Our successdepends, in part, upon the continued availability and contributions of ourmanagement team and engineering and technical personnel because of thecomplexity of our products and services. Important factors that could cause theloss of key personnel include:

·       ourexisting employment agreements with the members of our management team allowsuch persons to terminate their employment with us at any time;

·       wedo not have employment agreements with a majority of our key engineering andtechnical personnel;

·       significantportions of the equity awards held by the members of our management team arevested; and

·       equityawards held by some of our executive officers provide for accelerated vestingin the event of a sale or change of control of our company.

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

***A loss of one ormore of our key customers or licensees in any of our markets could adverselyaffect our business.***

From time to time, one ora small number of our customers or licensees may represent a significantpercentage of our revenue. Although we have agreements with many of thesecustomers, these agreements typically do not require any material minimumpurchases or minimum royalty fees and do not prohibit customers from purchasingproducts and services from competitors. A decision by any of our major 

31

----

customersor licensees not to use our technologies, or their failure or inability to payamounts owed to us in a timely manner, or at all, could have a significantadverse effect on our business.

***We may haveadditional tax liabilities.***

We are subject to incometaxes in both the United States and foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgmentis required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. In theordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculationswhere the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We may come under audit bytax authorities. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, thefinal determination of tax audits and any related litigation could bematerially different from our historical income tax provisions and accruals. Basedon the results of an audit or litigation, a material effect on our income taxprovision, net income or cash flows in the period or periods for which thatdetermination is made could result.

***Current and futuregovernmental and industry standards may significantly limit our businessopportunities.***

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

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

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

***We have limitedexperience in image processing, enhancement and restoration.***

Although we haveestablished relationships with a number of motion picture studios, contentowners, producers and distributors, we do not have any contractual agreementsthat require them to provide us image content for processing. Further, thedemand for image processing, enhancement and restoration of cinema, home videoor broadcast television content may not materialize or accelerate as weanticipate, which would have a negative impact on our business.

32

----

***Our revenues fromfilm producers and distributors and from the products and services that weoffer to movie theaters would decline if the major U.S. film producers anddistributors decrease or delay the number of films they release using DTStechnology or services.***

Although the major U.S.film producers and distributors are customers of ours, we generally do not havecontractual arrangements that require them to use our DTS audio technology orour digital image services. Our cinema and digital images business depends onour having good relations with these film studios and other content owners. Adeterioration in our relationship with any of these customers could cause themto stop using our DTS audio technology or our digital image enhancementservices. Any significant decline or delay in the release of motion pictureswith DTS audio soundtracks would decrease the demand for and revenues from theplayback products and services that we offer to movie theaters. In addition,other motion picture studios, content owners, producers, and distributorsthroughout the world generally adopt and use the processes and the technologiesused by the major U.S. film studios. Therefore, if the major U.S. motionpicture studios, content owners, producers or distributors stop using ourtechnology, we would not only lose the per-movie licensing fee we receive fromthese customers, but may also lose per-movie licensing fees from other filmstudios throughout the world. Furthermore, poor box-office performance causedby a weak film release calendar or declining consumer interest in the filmsbeing released could have a negative impact on the demand for the products andservices we sell to the motion picture industry.

***The movie theaterindustry has suffered and may continue to suffer from an oversupply of screens,which has affected and may continue to affect demand for the products andservices we offer to movie theaters.***

Our cinema businessdepends in part on the construction of new screens and the renovation ofexisting theaters that install our DTS playback systems and cinema processors.Over the past decade, aggressive building of megaplexes by companies thatoperate movie theaters has generated significant competition and resulted in anoversupply of screens in some domestic and international markets. The resultingoversupply of screens led to significant declines in revenues per screen and,eventually, to an inability by many major film exhibitors to satisfy theirfinancial obligations. Several major movie theater operators have reorganizedthrough bankruptcy proceedings, and many movie theaters have closed. As aresult, our playback systems and cinema processors that we previously sold tomovie theaters that have reorganized and closed have been relocated to othertheaters or have been available for resale in the secondary market to movietheaters that might otherwise have purchased these products directly from us.More recently, the industry has experienced a decline in movie theaterattendance. If this decline were to continue, exhibitors could see a decline inrevenue per screen and, potentially, an inability to satisfy their financialobligations resulting in the closure of screens. If movie theater operatorsdecide to close a significant number of screens in the future or cut theircapital spending, demand for our playback systems and cinema processors willdecline. Additionally, the expected transition to digital cinema could harm ourlegacy cinema business because operators may decide to delay procurementdecisions as they wait to evaluate the widespread roll out of digital cinema,operators may decide to purchase digital cinema systems that do not require ourexisting products and services, and as existing screens are repurposed todigital cinema, the quantity of our existing products on the secondary marketmay increase significantly. These developments may harm our business andoperating results.

***The demand for ourcurrent or “legacy” cinema products and production services could decline ifthe film industry broadly adopts digital cinema.***

If the film industrybroadly adopts digital cinema, the demand for our current or “legacy” cinemaproducts and production services could decline. If, in such circumstances, weare unable to adapt our professional products and production services orreplace such business with new products for the market for digital cinemasuccessfully, our business could be materially adversely affected.

***We depend onseveral sole and limited source suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors forsome of our products, and the loss of any of these suppliers, manufacturers, ordistributors could harm our business.***

We purchase a small numberof parts from sole-source suppliers. In addition, our professional audioencoding devices and movie theater playback systems are manufactured accordingto our specifications by single third-party manufacturers. Because we have nodirect control over these third-party suppliers and manufacturers,interruptions or delays in the products and services provided by these thirdparties may be difficult to remedy in a timely fashion. In addition, if suchsuppliers or manufacturers are incapable of or unwilling to deliver thenecessary parts or products, we may be unable to redesign our technology towork without such parts or find alternative suppliers or manufacturers. In suchevents, we could experience interruptions, delays, increased costs, or qualitycontrol problems.

***We are subject tovarious environmental laws and regulations that could impose substantial costsupon us and may adversely affect our business, operating results and financialcondition.***

Some of our operations use substances regulated undervarious 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 andthe cleanup of contaminated sites. We could incur costs, fines and civil orcriminal sanctions, third-party property damage or personal injury claims, or couldbe required to incur substantial investigation or remediation costs, if we wereto violate or become liable under environmental laws. Liability underenvironmental laws can be joint and several and without regard to comparativefault. The ultimate costs under environmental laws and the timing of thesecosts are difficult to predict.

We also face increasing complexity in our productdesign as we adjust to new and future requirements relating to the materialscomposition of our products, including the restrictions on lead and otherhazardous substances that apply to specified electronic products put on themarket in the European Union, or EU, as of July 1, 2006 (Restriction onthe Use of Hazardous Substances Directive 2002/95/EC, also known as the “RoHS Directive”)and similar legislation proposed for China.

For some products, substituting particular componentscontaining regulated hazardous substances can be difficult or costly, andredesign efforts could result in production delays. Selected products that wemaintain in inventory may be rendered obsolete if not in compliance with theRoHS Directive, which could negatively impact our ability to generate revenuefrom those products. We could also face significant costs and liabilities inconnection with product take-back legislation. The European Union Directive2002/96/EC as amended by 2003/108/EC (Waste Electrical and Electronic EquipmentDirective also known as the “WEEE Directive”) requires producers of particularelectrical and electronic equipment, including broadcast equipment, to befinancially responsible for specified collection, recycling, treatment anddisposal of past and future covered products. As of December 2006, not allmember states within the EU have enacted enabling legislation under the WEEEDirective, and in the absence of such legislation, it is difficult to determinethe costs to comply with the WEEE Directive.

Other countries, such asChina and the United States, may enact similar product-content and take-backlegislation, the cumulative impact of which could significantly increase ouroperating costs and adversely affect our operating results. We also expect thatour operations, whether manufacturing or licensing, will be affected by othernew environmental laws and regulations on an ongoing basis. Although we cannotpredict the ultimate impact of any such new laws and regulations, they willlikely result in additional costs or decreased revenue, and could require thatwe redesign or change how we manufacture our products, any of which could havea material adverse effect on our business.

**Risks Related toOur Common Stock**

***We expect that theprice of our common stock will fluctuate substantially.***

The market price ofour common stock is likely to be highly volatile and may fluctuate substantiallydue to many factors, including:

·       actualor anticipated fluctuations in our results of operations;

·       marketperception of our progress toward announced objectives, including withoutlimitation, the sale of our DTS Digital Cinema business;

·       announcementsof technological innovations by us or our competitors or technology standards;

·       announcementsof significant contracts by us or our competitors;

·       changesin our pricing policies or the pricing policies of our competitors;

·       developmentswith respect to intellectual property rights;

·       theintroduction of new products or product enhancements by us or our competitors;

·       thecommencement of or our involvement in litigation;

·       oursale of common stock or other securities in the future;

·       conditionsand trends in technology industries;

·       changesin market valuation or earnings of our competitors;

·       thetrading volume of our common stock;

·       announcementsof potential acquisitions;

·       theadoption rate of new products incorporating our or our competitors’ technologies,including next generation optical disc players;

·       changesin the estimation of the future size and growth rate of our markets; and

·       generaleconomic conditions.

In addition, the stockmarket in general, and the Nasdaq Global Select Market and the market fortechnology companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and volumefluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to theoperating performance of those companies. Further, the market prices ofsecurities of technology companies have been particularly volatile. These broadmarket and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our commonstock, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periodsof volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securitiesclass-action litigation has often been instituted against that company. Suchlitigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and adiversion of management’s attention and resources.

***Shares of our commonstock are relatively illiquid.***

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

***Anti-takeoverprovisions under our charter documents and Delaware law could delay or preventa change of control and could also limit the market price of our stock.***

Our RestatedCertificate of Incorporation and Restated Bylaws contain provisions that coulddelay or prevent a change of control of our company or changes in our Board ofDirectors that our stockholders might consider favorable. Some of theseprovisions:

·       authorizethe issuance of preferred stock which can be created and issued by the Board ofDirectors without prior stockholder approval, with rights senior to those ofthe common stock;

·       providefor a classified Board of Directors, with each director serving a staggeredthree-year term;

·       prohibitstockholders from filling Board vacancies, calling special stockholdermeetings, or taking action by written consent; and

·       requireadvance written notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations.

In addition, we aregoverned by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware GeneralCorporate Law, which may prohibit certain business combinations withstockholders owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock. These andother provisions in our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Restated Bylawsand Delaware law could make it more difficult for stockholders or potentialacquirors to obtain control of our Board or initiate actions that are opposedby the then-current Board, including delay or impede a merger, tenderoffer, or proxy contest involving our company. Any delay or prevention of achange of control transaction or changes in our Board could cause the marketprice of our common stock to decline.

**Item 2.**                        UnregisteredSales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

(c) In August 2006,our Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to one million shares ofour common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions,depending upon market conditions and other factors. We have not made anypurchases under this program and did not repurchase any shares under theprogram during the quarter ended March 31, 2007. As of March 31,2007, we had authority to repurchase up to one million shares under thatprogram.

**Item 3.**                        DefaultsUpon Senior Securities

None.

**Item 4.**                        Submissionof Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

None.
