The Singing Machine Releases Fiscal 2011 Financial Results

                                                                                                                       COCONUT CREEK, Fla., June 29, 2011 -- 

/PRNewswire/ -- The Singing Machine Company ("Singing Machine" or the "Company") (OTC BB: SMDM) today announced financial results for fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

Year-End Highlights:

For fiscal year-ended 2011, the Singing Machine reported net sales of approximately $19.2 million as compared to $21.3 million over the same period last year (a decline of approximately 9.8%). Despite less net sales, the Company significantly reduced its expenses, improved gross margin, and consequently reported a net loss of $619,548 as compared to a net loss of approximately $3.0 million in the same period last year.

 interim C.E.O. stated, "Our goal for the year was simple: stop the bleeding. Our plans were to reduce selling and overhead expenses, be conservative with inventory, and improve gross margin with the goal of finishing the year EBITDA neutral (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization).  I'm happy to announce that the Company has taken many positive strides this year and has substantially succeeded on our goals for Fiscal 2011. I'm confident the Company is restructured now to properly grow in the coming years. For fiscal 2012 our goals are to grow our distribution, maintain our expenses and innovate on our product lines."  

The Company cut total operating expenses by approximately $2.1 million from $6.9 million in the same period last year to $4.8 million for the fiscal year-ended March 31, 2011 (a decline of approximately 30%). Gross margin improved over the same period by 3.4% from 18.7% to 22.1%. The result was that the Company was able to generate more gross profit from less sales compared to the preceding year.

Bernardo Melo, Sales added, "Singing Machine is still the market leader in home karaoke. This past year our products sold extremely well over the retail counter, putting us in great shape going into this current season. For the 2011-2012 year, our initiatives are to leverage our logistics warehouse to grow our dot com distribution and to increase our market share. Given the current karaoke landscape, we are confident we can do that. So far, we have been successful maintaining our existing key customers like Costco,"R"Us, and Kohl's. We're also in process of gaining new distribution into major accounts like Target, Radioshack, Walmart Canada, Sears/Kmart, Walmart.com, Costco.com and many others. Look out for Singing Machine on the shelves of many new major retailers this coming season!"
