Chairman and chief executive officer Michael J. Koss said a new partnership with an Asian distributor is leading to stronger sales, but there has been weakness in Ukraine and Russia, which have historically been strong markets.

The company attributed the drop in U.S. sales to the loss of sales to a drug store chain, lower online sales and lower sales to OEM customers.
