Thomas C.K. Yuen, Chairman and CEO of SRS Labs, Inc., commented on the
results of the Company's activities:
"2007 was a challenging year for SRS. The loss of two significant
accounts, one in the home entertainment segment and the other in the
personal computer segment, had a negative impact on our revenues. At the
same time, growth of key accounts such as Samsung allowed the Company to
achieve revenues equal to last year.
SRS has invested significant management time and resources to
implement new strategies, as well as sales and marketing personnel and
programs, to regain momentum and to reposition itself for substantial
growth. With an approximate 12 to 15 month lead time for revenue to come
to fruition, management believes that 2008 will begin to show the positive
impact of these efforts."
