Item 5.03

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

On February 5, 2008, Circuit Research Labs, Inc. (“CRL” or the “Company”) authorized the creation of 20,428.4 shares of convertible redeemable Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The Company filed a Statement Pursuant to A.R.S § 10-602 regarding authorization of the Series A Preferred Stock with the Arizona Corporation Commission on February 19, 2008. CRL will pay cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock at an annual rate of 7% based upon par value, payable monthly in arrears. Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock can be converted to 300 shares of CRL Common Stock (“Common Stock”) at any time. CRL may redeem any or all of the Series A Preferred Stock at any time for their par value plus any dividends accrued but unpaid, provided holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are given between 15 and 60 days notice. However, notice of redemption does not prevent holders of Series A Preferred Stock from exercising their right to convert to Common Stock. Upon voluntary or involuntary dissolution or liquidation of CRL, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be paid the par value of the stock prior to any distribution to the holders of Common Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock has no voting rights.

On February 20, 2008, CRL authorized the creation of 2,000 shares of convertible redeemable Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). The Company filed a Statement Pursuant to A.R.S. § 10-602 regarding authorization of the Series B Preferred Stock with the Arizona Corporation Commission on February 27, 2008. CRL will pay cumulative dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock at an annual rate of 7% based upon par value, payable monthly in arrears. Each share of the Series B Preferred Stock can be converted to 333 1/3 shares of Common Stock at any time. CRL may redeem any or all of the Series B Preferred Stock at any time for their par value plus any dividends accrued but unpaid, provided holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are given between 15 and 60 days notice. However, notice of redemption does not prevent holders of Series B Preferred Stock from exercising their right to convert to Common Stock. Upon voluntary or involuntary dissolution or liquidation of CRL, holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be paid the par value of the stock prior to any distribution to the holders of Common Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock has no voting rights. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock are subordinate to any issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in that the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to dividends or other distributions until the holders of Series A Preferred Stock receive the dividends or other distributions to which they are entitled.
