FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Nov. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Singing Machine Company, Inc.  ("Singing Machine" or the "Company") (OTCBB: SMDM) announces the results for its second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2013.

For the quarter, the Company reported net sales of approximately $10.8 million compared to $14.3 million in the same period last year, a decrease of approximately $3.5 million.  The decrease in net sales is primarily attributable to the following circumstances: late supplier deliveries from China due to failed inspections, torrential weather which flooded a major supplier, and subcontract factory audit issues. As a result, significant orders had to be rescheduled for October delivery.  Gross margins also decreased for the quarter from 24.1% to 22.2% as compared to the same period last year. The reduced gross margin is a result of a higher concentration of products shipped to the Company's related parties during the quarter which yield a lower margin.  Total operating expenses went down from approximately $2.0 million to $1.9 million, compared to the same period last year, due mainly to a decrease variable selling expenses.

The Company reported net income of approximately $324,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, compared to approximately $1.4 million over the same period last year.

"We've encountered a lot of challenges this quarter from our Chinese suppliers," commented Gary Atkinson, Singing Machine CEO. "Unfortunately due to some circumstances beyond our control we were forced to delay some shipments to our retail customers. We anticipate these shipments to be rescheduled to the 3rd quarter, but as a result we lost a lot of top line revenue which we traditionally report in the 2nd quarter." Atkinson continued, "Despite the slow start to our holiday shipping season, we are excited to announce our new Singing Machine Home product is launching with select Best Buy stores nationwide beginning this week. We are hopeful this product will appeal to a totally different consumer than our core product offering."
