RICHARDSON ELECTRONICS, LTD.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY

Richardson Electronics, Ltd. (“we”, “us”, “the Company”, and “our”) is incorporated in the state of Delaware. We are a leading global provider of engineered solutions, power grid and microwave tubes and related components, and customized display solutions, serving customers in the alternative energy, aviation, broadcast, communications, industrial, marine, medical, military, scientific, and semiconductor markets. Our strategy is to provide specialized technical expertise and “engineered solutions” based on our core engineering and manufacturing capabilities. We provide solutions and add value through design-in support, systems integration, prototype design and manufacturing, testing, logistics, and aftermarket technical service and repair.

Our products include electron tubes and related components, microwave generators, subsystems used in semiconductor manufacturing, and visual technology solutions. These products are used to control, switch or amplify electrical power signals, or are used as display devices in a variety of industrial, commercial, medical, and communication applications.

On March 1, 2011, we completed the sale of the assets primarily used or held for use in, and certain liabilities of, our RF, Wireless and Power Division (“RFPD”), as well as certain other Company assets, including our information technology assets, to Arrow Electronics, Inc. (“Arrow”) in exchange for $238.8 million, which included an estimated pre-closing working capital adjustment of approximately $27.0 million (“the Transaction.”) During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, we recorded a working capital adjustment of $4.2 million in our results from discontinued operations. During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we paid Arrow $3.9 million to settle the agreed upon working capital adjustment.

On September 5, 2011, we acquired the assets of Powerlink Specialist Electronics Support Limited (“Powerlink”) for approximately $2.3 million, including a working capital adjustment of $0.2 million related to payables of approximately $0.2 million that were paid by Powerlink prior to the close. Powerlink, a UK-based technical service company with locations in London and Dubai, services traveling wave tube (“TWT”) amplifiers and related equipment for the Satellite Communications market throughout Europe and the Middle East. This acquisition positions us to provide cost-effective service of microwave and power grid tube equipment for communications, industrial, military, and medical users around the world.

On September 4, 2012, we acquired the assets of D and C Import-Export, Inc. (“D and C”) for approximately $2.6 million. D and C, a Florida-based distributor of power grid tubes and associated RF components, services the commercial, broadcast, medical, industrial, scientific, and military markets. This acquisition provides us with access to additional product lines, vendors, and customers.

We have two operating segments, which we define as follows:

Electron Device Group (“EDG”) provides engineered solutions and distributes electronic components to customers in alternative energy, aviation, broadcast, communications, industrial, marine, medical, military, scientific, and semiconductor markets. EDG focuses on various applications including broadcast transmission, CO₂ laser cutting, diagnostic imaging, dielectric and induction heating, high energy transfer, high voltage switching, plasma, power conversion, radar, and radiation oncology. EDG also offers its customers technical services for both microwave and industrial equipment.

Canvys provides global customized display solutions serving the corporate enterprise, financial, healthcare, industrial, and medical original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) markets.

We currently have operations in the following major geographic regions:

•

North America;

•

Asia/Pacific;

•

Europe; and

•

Latin America.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

Our fiscal quarter ends on the Saturday nearest the end of the quarter-ending month. The first three months of fiscal 2013 and 2012 contained 13 and 14 weeks, respectively.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of interim periods have been made. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries. The results of our operations for the three months ended September 1, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 1, 2013.

The financial information contained in this report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 2, 2012, that we filed on July 27, 2012.

3. UPDATES TO CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Inventories: Our worldwide inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, generally using a weighted-average cost method. Our inventories included approximately $32.8 million of finished goods and $2.6 million of raw materials and work-in-progress as of September 1, 2012, as compared to approximately $31.8 million of finished goods and $2.9 million of raw materials and work-in-progress as of June 2, 2012.

At this time, we do not anticipate any material risks or uncertainties related to possible inventory write-downs for the remainder of fiscal 2013, ending June 1, 2013.

Revenue Recognition: Our product sales are recognized as revenue upon shipment, when title passes to the customer, when delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, and when collectability is reasonably assured. We also record estimated discounts and returns based on our historical experience. Our products are often manufactured to meet the specific design needs of our customers’ applications. Our engineers work closely with customers to ensure that our products will meet their needs. Our customers are under no obligation to compensate us for designing the products we sell.

In a limited number of cases, we provide and bill our customers with non-product related services, such as testing, calibration, non-recurring engineering, tooling, and installation services. We have concluded that the service revenue should not be considered a separate unit of accounting from the product sale as we have determined there is no objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered items.

We have also concluded that, in the limited cases where remaining obligations exist after delivery of the product, the obligation relative to the unit of accounting is inconsequential or perfunctory. This conclusion was reached based on the following facts: the timing of any remaining obligation is agreed upon with the customer, which in most cases, is performed immediately after the delivery of the product; the cost and time involved to complete the remaining obligation is minimal, and the costs and time do not vary significantly; we have a demonstrated history of completing the remaining obligations timely; and finally, failure to complete the remaining obligation does not enable the customer to receive a full or partial refund of the product or service.

Discontinued Operations: In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements- Discontinued Operations (“ASC 205-20”), we reported the financial results of RFPD as a discontinued operation. Refer to Note 4 “Discontinued Operations” of our notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional discussion on the sale of RFPD.

Loss Contingencies: We accrue a liability for loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of possible loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. If we determine that there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred, we will include a disclosure describing the contingency.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill is initially recorded based on the premium paid for acquisitions and is subsequently tested for impairment. We test goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances indicate an impairment may have occurred, such as a significant adverse change in the business climate, loss of key personnel or a decision to sell or dispose of a reporting unit. As of September 1, 2012, our goodwill balance was $1.3 million and represents the premium we paid for Powerlink, adjusted for foreign currency translation.

During the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, our goodwill balances are reviewed for impairment using the last day of our third quarter as the measurement date. In accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”), if indicators of impairment are deemed to be present, we would perform an interim impairment test and any resulting impairment loss would be charged to expense in the period identified.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-08 which allows a company the option to perform a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it must then calculate the fair value of an operating segment. We applied this qualitative approach to our EDG operating segment and concluded that indications of impairment were not present as of June 2, 2012. The qualitative factors considered included macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, and other relevant entity or reporting unit specific events.

Intangible assets are initially recorded at their fair market values determined on quoted market prices in active markets, if available, or recognized valuation models. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.

Our intangible asset represent the fair value that we determined for customer relationships acquired in connection with the acquisition of Powerlink during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2012. The fair value was based upon discounted cash flows that the customer relationships are expected to generate over the next twenty years.

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Arrow Transaction

Financial Summary – Discontinued Operations

Summary financial results for the three months ended September 1, 2012, and September 3, 2011, are presented in the following table (in thousands):

Net sales and gross profit (loss) for the three months ended September 1, 2012, reflect our financial results relating to the Manufacturing Agreement with Arrow that we entered into in connection with the Transaction. Pursuant to the three-year agreement, we agreed to continue to manufacture certain RFPD products for Arrow. During the first quarter ended September 3, 2011, in connection with an examination by the Internal Revenue Service, we reduced our deferred tax liability by $2.1 million related to our un-repatriated foreign earnings based on a determination of the earnings and profits that would remain in certain foreign subsidiaries after the Arrow transaction.

Assets and liabilities classified as discontinued operations on our unaudited consolidated balance sheets as of September 1, 2012, and June 2, 2012, include the following (in thousands):


	Sept 1, 2012		Jun 2, 2012

(2)

Included in long-term income tax liabilities as of September 1, 2012, is the reserve for uncertain tax positions.

In accordance with ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, entities are permitted but not required to separately disclose, either in the statement of cash flows or footnotes to the financial statements, cash flows pertaining to discontinued operations. Entities that do not present separate operating cash flows information related to discontinued operations must do so consistently for all periods presented, which may include periods long after the sale or liquidation of the operation. Cash flows related to our discontinued operations are not material.

5. ACQUISITIONS

The allocation of the final purchase price, recorded during fiscal year 2012, included $0.4 million of trade receivables, $0.2 million of inventory, $0.4 million of other intangibles, and $1.3 million of goodwill. The goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair market value of the identifiable net assets we acquired. Pro forma financial information is not presented due to immateriality.

6. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill is initially recorded based on the premium paid for acquisitions and is subsequently tested for impairment. We test goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances indicates an impairment may be occurred, such as a significant adverse change in the business climate, loss of key personnel, or a decision to sell or dispose of a reporting unit. As of September 1, 2012, our goodwill balance was $1.3 million and represents the premium we paid for Powerlink during our second quarter of fiscal 2012, adjusted for foreign currency translation.

During the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, our goodwill balances are reviewed for impairment using the last day of our third quarter as the measurement date. In accordance with ASC 350, if indicators of impairment are deemed to be present, we would perform an interim impairment test and any resulting impairment loss would be charged to expense in the period identified.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, we adopted ASU 2011-08, which allows a company the option to perform a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of an operating segment. We applied this qualitative approach to our EDG operating segment and concluded that indications of impairment were not present as of June 2, 2012. The qualitative factors considered included macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, and other relevant entity or reporting until specific events.

Of this, $98.7 million mature in less than twelve months and $10.6 million mature in greater than twelve months. The fair value of these investments is equal to the face value of each time deposit and CD.

We also have investments in equity securities, all of which are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at their fair value based on quoted market prices. Our investments, which are included in non-current assets, had a carrying amount of $0.4 million as of September 1, 2012, and as of June 2, 2012. Proceeds from the sale of securities were $0.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and less than $0.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2012. We reinvested proceeds from the sale of securities, and the cost of the equity securities sold was based on a specific identification method. Gross realized gains and losses on those sales were less than $0.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012. Net unrealized holding losses of less than $0.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, have been included in accumulated other comprehensive income.

8. WARRANTIES

We offer warranties for the limited number of specific products we manufacture. We also provide extended warranties for some products we sell that lengthen the period of coverage specified in the manufacturer’s original warranty. Our warranty terms generally range from one to three years.

Warranty reserves are established for costs that are expected to be incurred after the sale and delivery of products under warranty. Warranty reserves are included in accrued liabilities on our unaudited consolidated balance sheets. The warranty reserves are determined based on known product failures, historical experience, and other available evidence. Warranty reserves, which are included in accrued liabilities, were approximately $0.2 million as of September 1, 2012, and $0.1 million as of June 2, 2012.

9. LEASE OBLIGATIONS, OTHER COMMITMENTS, AND CONTINGENCIES

We lease certain warehouse and office facilities and office equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. Rent expense from continuing operations during the first three months of fiscal 2013 was $0.4 million. Under the terms of the Transaction, Arrow assumed many of our facility leases and we are sub-leasing space from Arrow. Our future minimum lease commitments, including common area maintenance charges and property taxes during the remainder of fiscal 2013 and the next four years have been adjusted to reflect the Transaction as follows (in thousands) :


Fiscal Year	Payments
Remaining Fiscal 2013	$	923
2014	$	697
2015	$	662
2016	$	414

10. INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rate from continuing operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was 22.2% as compared to 35.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The decrease in the rate during the first quarter of fiscal 2013, as compared to fiscal 2012, was due to the change in U.S. tax liability on forecasted cash available to distribute in foreign jurisdictions with respect to ASC 740-30, Income Taxes – Other Considerations or Special Areas (“ASC 740”). The effective rate as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34.0% resulted from our geographical distribution of taxable income or losses, apportionment of income to various states, in addition to our position with respect to ASC 740.

In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. We are no longer subject to either U.S. federal, state or local, or non-U.S. tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to fiscal 2004. Currently, we are under federal audit in the U.S. for fiscal years 2009, 2010, and 2011. Our primary foreign tax jurisdictions are Germany and the Netherlands. We have tax years open in Germany and the Netherlands beginning in fiscal 2007.

As of September 1, 2012, $35.0 million of cumulative positive earnings of certain of our foreign subsidiaries are still considered permanently reinvested pursuant to ASC 740. It is not practical to determine what, if any, tax liability might exist if such earnings were to be repatriated.

As of September 1, 2012, our worldwide liability for uncertain tax positions related to continuing operations, excluding interest and penalties, was $0.4 million as compared to $0.5 million as of June 2, 2012. We record penalties and interest relating to uncertain tax positions in the income tax expense line item within the unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

It is reasonably possible that there will be a change in the unrecognized tax benefits related to continuing operations, excluding interest and penalties, of less than $0.1 million due to the expiration of various statutes of limitations within the next 12 months.

11. CALCULATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

We have authorized 30,000,000 shares of common stock, 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Class B common stock has 10 votes per share and has transferability restrictions; however, Class B common stock may be converted into common stock on a share-for-share basis at any time. With respect to dividends and distributions, shares of common stock and Class B common stock rank equally and have the same rights, except that Class B common stock cash dividends are limited to 90% of the amount of Class A common stock cash dividends.

In accordance with ASC 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”), our Class B common stock is considered a participating security requiring the use of the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. The two-class computation method for each period reflects the cash dividends paid per share for each class of stock, plus the amount of allocated undistributed earnings per share computed using the participation percentage which reflects the dividend rights of each class of stock. Basic and diluted earnings per share were computed using the two-class method as prescribed in ASC 260. The shares of Class B common stock are considered to be participating convertible securities since the shares of Class B common stock are convertible on a share-for-share basis into shares of common stock and may participate in dividends with common stock according to a predetermined formula which is 90% of the amount of Class A common stock cash dividends.

The earnings per share (“EPS”) presented in our unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income are based on the following amounts (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Estimates of credit losses are recorded in the financial statements based on monthly reviews of outstanding accounts. Other primarily includes net sales not allocated to a specific geographical region, unabsorbed value-add costs, and other unallocated expenses.

13. LITIGATION

We are involved in several pending judicial proceedings concerning matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of litigation is subject to uncertainties, based on information available at the time the financial statements were issued, we determined disclosure of contingencies relating to any of our pending judicial proceedings was not necessary because there was less than a reasonable possibility that a material loss had been incurred.

14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists; therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

As of September 1, 2012, we held investments that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Our investments consist of time deposits and CDs, where face value is equal to fair value, and equity securities of publicly traded companies for which market prices are readily available.

Investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 as of September 1, 2012, and June 2, 2012, were as follows (in thousands):

Net Sales and Gross Profit Analysis

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, consolidated net sales decreased 14.1% to $35.7 million, compared to $41.5 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

Net sales by segment and percent change during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and 2012 were as follows (in thousands):

Net Sales


	FY 2013		FY 2012		% Change
First Quarter
EDG	$	25,627	$	30,729		(16.6	%)
Canvys		10,023		10,782		(7.0	%)

Total	$	35,650	$	41,511		(14.1	%)

Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 29.9% during the first quarter of fiscal 2013, as compared to 30.6% during the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

Gross profit reflects the distribution and manufacturing product margin less manufacturing variances, inventory obsolescence charges, customer returns, scrap and cycle count adjustments, engineering costs, and other provisions.

Gross profit by segment and percent of segment net sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and 2012 were as follows (in thousands):

Gross Profit


			% of					% of
	FY 2013		Net Sales			FY 2012		Net Sales
First Quarter
EDG	$	8,000		31.2	%	$	9,671		31.5	%
Canvys		2,646		26.4	%		3,031		28.1	%

Total	$	10,646		29.9	%	$	12,702		30.6	%

Electron Device Group

Net sales for EDG decreased 16.6% to $25.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2013, from $30.7 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Net sales of tubes decreased to $20.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2013, as compared to $25.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2012, due primarily to a weaker demand in the marine and semiconductor fabrication markets. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased slightly to 31.2% during the first quarter of fiscal 2013, as compared to 31.5% during the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The overall decrease in gross margin primarily reflects the sales mix between Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) and aftermarket customers as well as geographical sales mix.

Net sales for EDG increased 11.8% to $30.7 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2012, from $27.5 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The increase in net sales is primarily due to sales growth for our industrial tube products, due to a strategic distribution agreement, and an increase in demand for our products that support the semiconductor fabrication market. Net sales of tubes increased to $25.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2012, as compared to $23.7 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2011, due primarily to increases in the textile markets. Net sales of continuous wave magnetrons and related assemblies sold primarily into the semiconductor fabrication market increased to $2.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2012, as compared to $1.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased to 31.5% during the first quarter of fiscal 2012, as compared to 32.9% during the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The overall decrease in gross margin primarily reflects the sales mix between Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) and aftermarket customers as well as geographical sales mix.

Canvys

Canvys net sales decreased 7.0% to $10.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2013, from $10.8 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Sales increased in the North America Custom OEM and Healthcare segments, while sales in Europe were down due to the continuing effect of the economic crisis on German exports. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased to 26.4% during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to 28.1% during the first quarter of fiscal 2012, due primarily to lower margin in Europe associated with customer mix and currency exchange.

Canvys net sales increased 7.6% to $10.8 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2012, from $10.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Sales increased in the North America OEMs market and Europe. Healthcare revenues were down. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased to 28.1% during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to 23.3% during the first quarter of fiscal 2011, due primarily to continued growth and focus on the more profitable OEM business in both North America and Europe, in addition to a decline in inbound freight costs during the first quarter of fiscal 2012, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 to $10.1 million from $10.8 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The $0.7 million decrease includes a $0.3 million reduction of SG&A for Canvys and a $0.4 million reduction of total company support function costs. The decrease of $0.3 million within Canvys was due primarily to a reduction in bad debt expense. The decrease of $0.4 million in support functions was due primarily to headcount reductions, offset slightly by increases in professional services. SG&A for EDG was $3.9 million for both the first quarters of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012.

SG&A increased slightly during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 to $10.8 million from $10.5 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The $0.3 million increase includes a $0.5 million increase in EDG, a $0.2 million increase in Canvys, offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in support functions and other administrative expenses. The increase of $0.5 million within EDG was due primarily to increases in employee costs related to additional headcount and facility costs. The increase of $0.2 million in Canvys was due primarily to increases in bad debt expense. The decrease in support functions and other administrative costs was due primarily to headcount reductions.

Other (Income) Expense

Other (income) expense was $0.4 million of income during the first quarter of fiscal 2013, as compared to $0.4 million of expense during the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Other (income) expense included a foreign exchange gain of less than $0.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2013, as compared to a foreign exchange loss of $0.8 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Our foreign exchange gains and losses are primarily due to the translation of our U.S. dollars we hold in non-U.S. entities. We currently do not utilize derivative instruments to manage our exposure to foreign currency. The first quarter of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 also included $0.4 million of investment/interest income.

Cash Flows from Discontinued Operations

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The cash flow from operating activities primarily resulted from our net income, adjusted for non-cash items, and changes in our operating assets and liabilities.

Operating activities, which include our discontinued operations, used $3.3 million of cash during the first three months of fiscal 2013. We had net income of $0.6 million in the first three months of fiscal 2013, which included non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.1 million associated with the issuance of stock option awards primarily to our directors and officers and non-cash depreciation and amortization expense of $0.3 million associated with our investments in property and equipment as well as amortization of our intangible assets. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities used $4.4 million of cash during the first three months of fiscal 2013, due primarily to decreases in our operating liabilities, including accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and increases in our operating assets including prepaid expenses, inventories, and receivables. The decrease in accounts payable of $1.4 million was due primarily to the timing of vendor payments. The decrease in accrued liabilities of $1.0 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange of $0.1 million, was due primarily to a reduction in employee related compensation accruals. The increase in prepaid expenses of $0.6 million was due primarily to $0.4 million of cash used to renew our liability insurance coverage and $0.2 million of cash used for computer support services. The increase in inventories of $0.6 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange of $0.1 million, was due primarily to increased purchasing to support expected future sales growth. The increase in receivables of $0.6 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange of $0.2 million, was due primarily to the timing of customer payments.

Operating activities, which include our discontinued operations, used $47.6 million of cash during the first three months of fiscal 2012. We had net income of $3.6 million in the first three months of fiscal 2012, which included non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.2 million associated with the issuance of stock option awards to our directors and officers and non-cash depreciation expense of $0.3 million associated with our investments in property and equipment. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities used $51.4 million of cash during the first three months of fiscal 2012, due primarily to decreases in our operating liabilities, including accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and long-term income tax liabilities, as well as increases in our operating assets including prepaid expenses, inventories, and income tax receivable. The decrease in accounts payable of $2.6 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange of $0.1 million, was due primarily to the timing of vendor payments. The decrease in accrued liabilities of $33.6 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange of $0.1 million, was due primarily to $33.9 million of cash used for our tax payment related to the sale of RFPD. The decrease in long-term income tax liabilities of $11.4 million was due primarily to estimated tax payments for the fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011 tax returns. The increase in prepaid expenses of $2.3 million, excluding the impact of foreign exchange of $0.1 million, was due primarily to $0.4 million of cash used to renew our liability insurance coverage. The increase in inventories of $3.6 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange of $0.9 million, was due primarily to increased purchasing to support expected future sales growth. The increase in our income tax receivable of $8.3 million relates to an overpayment in our estimated federal tax for fiscal year 2011.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

The cash flow from investing activities has consisted primarily of purchases and maturities of investments and capital expenditures.

Cash provided by investing activities during the first three months of fiscal 2013, included proceeds from maturities of investments of $57.7 million, offset by purchases of investments of $51.7 million and $0.1 million in capital expenditures.

Cash used in investing activities during the first three months of fiscal 2012, included purchases of investments of $216.3 million and $0.1 million in capital expenditures, offset by proceeds from maturities of investments of $137.5 million.

Our purchases and proceeds from investments consist of time deposits and CDs. Purchasing of future investments may vary from period to period due to interest and foreign currency exchange rates.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The cash flow from financing activities primarily consists of repurchases of common stock and cash dividends paid.

Cash used in financing activities of $5.5 million during the first three months of fiscal 2013, resulted from $5.6 million of cash used to repurchase common stock, offset by less than $0.1 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock. The repurchase of common stock relates to our share repurchase authorizations.

Cash used in financing activities of $8.4 million during the first three months of fiscal 2012, resulted from $7.7 million of cash used to repurchase common stock and $0.8 million in dividends paid. The repurchase of common stock relates to our share repurchase authorization. Cash dividends paid of $0.8 million were approved by the Board of Directors on July 19, 2011.

There were no dividend payments during the first three months of fiscal 2013. The quarterly dividend approved by the Board of Directors on July 25, 2012, was paid on September 11, 2012. All future payments of dividends are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Dividend payments will depend on earnings, capital requirements, operating conditions, and such other factors that the Board may deem relevant.

We believe that the existing sources of liquidity, including current cash, will provide sufficient resources to meet known capital requirements and working capital needs for the fiscal year ending June 1, 2013.

UPDATES TO CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

At this time, we do not anticipate any material risks or uncertainties related to possible inventory write-downs for the remainder of fiscal 2013, ending June 1, 2013.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-08 which allows a company the option to perform a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of an operating segment. We applied this qualitative approach to our EDG operating segment and concluded that indications of impairment were not present as of June 2, 2012. The qualitative factors considered included macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, and other relevant entity or reporting unit specific events.

Our intangible asset is the fair value that we determined for customer relationships acquired in connection with the acquisition of Powerlink during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2012. The fair value was based upon discounted cash flows that the customer relationships are expected to generate over the next twenty years.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Risk Management and Market Sensitive Financial Instruments

We are exposed to many different market risks with the various industries we serve. The primary financial risk we are exposed to is foreign currency exchange, as certain operations, assets, and liabilities of ours are denominated in foreign currencies. We manage these risks through normal operating and financing activities.

The interpretation and analysis of these disclosures should not be considered in isolation since such variances in exchange rates would likely influence other economic factors. Such factors, which are not readily quantifiable, would likely also affect our operations. Additional disclosure regarding various market risks are set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 2, 2012, and in our Proxy Statement on schedule 14A filed with the Security and Exchange Commission on August 30, 2012.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)	Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management of the Company, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of September 1, 2012.

Disclosure controls and procedures are intended to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

(b)	Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time we or our subsidiaries are involved in legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of our business. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the outcome of any current claims, including the above mentioned legal matters, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 2, 2012, and in our Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Security and Exchange Commission on August 30, 2012.
