Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q as found in Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, such consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods covered have been reflected in the statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended February 28, 2003 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The consolidated financial statements included the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries after elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions. Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated using the exchange rate in effect at the end of the period. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average of the exchange rates in effect during the period. Translation adjustments and transaction gains and losses related to long-term intercompany transactions are accumulated as a separate component of shareholders' equity. The Company has a subsidiary in the U.K., which is not material, and uses the British pound as its functional currency.

The Company reported its Mexican subsidiary on the basis of the functional currency being the U.S. dollar, effective January 1, 1997, as over 90% of the subsidiary's sales and purchases were with the parent with accounts receivable and accounts payable settled in U.S. dollars. The Mexican operations were substantially shut down in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and the cumulative translation losses were recognized as a charge against income in that fiscal year.

NOTE B—ADOPTION OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees and Indebtedness of Others". FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by the guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also requires that a guarantor recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of this interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002; while the provisions of the disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual reports ending after December 15, 2002. The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of FIN 45 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The recognition provisions of FIN 45 are not expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities". In general, a variable interest entity is a corporation, partnership, trust, or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the

primary beneficiary of the entity if the investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to other entities in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Certain of the disclosure requirements apply in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was established. Since the Company currently has identified no variable interest entities, management expects that the adoption of the provisions of FIN 46 will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". SFAS No. 150 requires three types of freestanding financial instruments to be classified as liabilities in statements of financial position. One type is mandatorily redeemable shares, which the issuing company is obligated to buy back in exchange for cash or other assets. A second type, which includes put options and forward purchase contracts, involves instruments that do or may require the issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for cash or other assets. The third type of instruments are obligations that can be settled with shares, the monetary value of which is fixed, tied solely or predominately to a variable such as a market index, or varies inversely with the value of the issuer's shares. The majority of the guidance in SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. In accordance with SFAS No. 150, the Company plans to adopt this standard on September 1, 2003. Adoption of SFAS No. 150 by the Company on September 1, 2003 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations. During fiscal 2003, the Company issued $100,000 of redeemable common stock in exchange for inventory. During the first quarter ended May 31, 2003, the stock was redeemed at the option of the holder for $100,000 cash.

There were no other recently issued accounting pronouncements with delayed effective dates that would currently have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

NOTE E—LINE OF CREDIT

At May 31, 2003, the Company has a $9,500,000 credit facility with a bank. The interest rate on the line of credit is a floating LIBOR rate (3.8% at May 31, 2003) based on a ratio of debt to EBITDA, as defined. The weighted average interest rate during the quarter ended May 31, 2003 and the year ended February 28, 2003 was 3.8% and 3.4%. The average amount and maximum amount outstanding were $8,483,000 and $9,248,000, respectively, during the quarter ended March 31, 2003, and $8,801,000 and $9,524,000, respectively, during fiscal year 2003. The line of credit expired on July 1, 2003 but was extended for 90 days until October 31, 2003. The outstanding amount under this line is classified as a current liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Management is currently negotiating with its lender and expects to renew this line under terms that are no less favorable as those currently in place. A scheduled reduction of $500,000 has been extended indefinitely while the Company negotiated changes to the line of credit. Borrowings under the line of credit are limited by eligible accounts receivable, inventory and real estate, as defined, and includes a commitment fee of 0.25% for the unused portion. As of May 31, 2003, the outstanding balance on the line of credit was $8,801,000 and the available amount for borrowing was $699,000.

The line of credit agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants, including requirements related to tangible net worth and debt service coverage. Additionally, dividend payments, capital expenditures and acquisitions have certain restrictions. Substantially all of the Company's retained earnings are restricted based upon these covenants. As of February 28, 2003, the Company was not in

compliance with the minimum debt service ratio, the senior funded debt to EBITDA ratio (due to the third quarter adjustment and write-off of inventories, equipment and other assets as a result of the internal reorganization and closure of three facilities) and additional indebtedness. Subsequent to February 28, 2003, the bank waived those covenant violations. As of May 31, 2003 subject to the waivers, the Company is in compliance with its loan covenants.

NOTE G—SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Shares issued during the period are weighted for the portion of the period that they were outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated in a manner consistent with that of basic earnings per share while giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period.

The following is a reconciliation from basic earnings per share to diluted earnings per share for each of the periods presented.

		Net Income		Weighted Average Shares Outstanding	Earnings Per Share
Quarter ended May 31, 2003
Basic		$	781,000	4,640,000	$	0.17
Effect of dilution:
	Options		—	84,000
	Convertible debt		13,000	244,000

Diluted		$	794,000	4,968,000	$	0.16

Basic		$	339,000	4,756,000	$	0.07
Effect of dilution:
	Options		—	111,000
	Convertible debt		12,000	240,000

Diluted		$	351,000	5,107,000	$	0.07

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The Company has an incentive stock option plan whereby total options to purchase 600,000 shares may be granted to key employees at a price not less than fair market value at the time the options are granted and are exercisable beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date for a period not to exceed ten years. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 encourages, but does not require companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related Interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The option price of all the Company's stock options is equal to the market value of the stock at the grant date. No stock options were granted during the quarters ended May 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and, as such, no related compensation expense is recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Had compensation cost been determined based upon the fair value at the grant date for awards under the stock option plan consistent with the methodology prescribed under SFAS No. 123, the effect on the Company's pro forma net income and net income per share would have been as follows:

	Three Months Ended
	May 31, 2003			May 31, 2002
Net income, as reported	$	781,000		$	339,000
Stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value basis, net of tax		(12,000	)		(8,000	)

Pro forma net income	$	769,000		$	331,000

Net (loss) earnings per share:
Basic—as reported	$	0.17		$	0.07
Basic—pro forma	$	0.17		$	0.07
Diluted—as reported	$	0.16		$	0.07
Diluted—pro forma	$	0.16		$	0.07

Stock Repurchase Program

The Company has a stock repurchase program, pursuant to which it is authorized to repurchase up to 462,500 shares of the Company's common stock in the open market. As part of this program, the Company repurchased 125,000 shares of common stock for $812,000 during the quarter ended May 31, 2003. No shares were repurchased in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year.

Net sales

Consolidated net sales increased $194,000 for the quarter ended May 31, 2003 as compared to the quarter ended May 31, 2002. CRT division sales decreased $135,000 while wholesale division sales increased $329,000 for the comparative periods.

CRT segment sales included increases within the monitor and component parts divisions of $487,000 and $97,000 respectively for the comparative periods. Offsetting declines were posted to the data display and entertainment divisions of $482,000 and $237,000, respectively, for the same comparative periods.

Increases in the monitor division were experienced by Display Systems (projection simulation), Lexel (radar displays) and XKD (cockpit displays). These revenues are the continuation of contracts started in third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2003.

Offsetting declines in the data display division reflect the sluggish replacement market for cathode ray tubes. These declines are not attributed to the loss of any particular customers, but rather a reflection of customer decisions to purchase new monitors with updated products and technologies instead of repairing older tubes.

The entertainment sales division declines continue to reflect the declines of in-warranty replacement tubes to major television set distributors. Projection tube sales for in-home theater and commercial applications increased slightly for the comparable periods.

The increase in sales of the wholesale parts segment of $329,000 includes increases of $284,000 related to the distribution agreements Fox International, Inc. has with Applica (Black and Decker) and Norelco. The remainder of the increase was with a major national distributor with slight offsetting declines from retail consumers.

Gross margins

Consolidated gross profit margins increased slightly to 32.8% from 32.4% for the quarter ended May 31, 2003 as compared to May 31, 2002. CRT segment margins decreased from 29.5% to 28.4% while the wholesale consumer parts segment increased to 48.4% from 45.8% for the comparable periods.

Wholesale parts segment margins increased primarily due to the Applica Incorporated and Norelco distribution agreements. Those revenues include a handling charge and shipping revenue, which accounts for approximately 75% to 80% profit margin.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 24.7% for the quarter ended May 31, 2003 as compared to 28.6% for the quarter ended May 31, 2002. CRT segment operating expenses decreased $796,000 and the wholesale segment expenses increased $109,000 from the comparative period a year ago.

CRT expense decreases included the elimination of $371,000 of operation expenses for three locations closed by the Company in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. There was also an approximate 10% reduction in personnel in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2003 resulting in a corresponding decrease in salary and wages for the comparative first quarters.

Wholesale segment expenses include increases of $183,000 in commissions, delivery and wage expense resulting from the additional costs associated with the Applica and Norelco distribution agreements.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased $68,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The Company maintains various debt agreements with different interest rates, most of which are based on the prime rate or LIBOR. While overall debt decreased for the comparative periods, there was an increase of debt at slightly higher interest rates for the period ended May 31, 2003 as compared to a year ago.

Income taxes

The effective tax rate for the quarter ended May 31, 2003 is 38.0% as compared to 40.8% a year ago. These rates are greater than the Federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of state taxes and the permanent non-deductibility of certain expenses for tax purposes.

Foreign currency translation

In the third quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company closed its Mexico operations. Prior to this, the Company's Mexican subsidiary reported on the basis of the functional currency as being the US dollar and any exchange gains or losses due to the actual exchange of pesos and US dollars were reflected in the Company's income statement. There were no significant transaction gains or losses related to the Mexican subsidiary for the period ended May 31, 2002.

Gains or losses resulting from the transactions with its UK subsidiary are reported in current operations while currency translation adjustments are recognized in a separate component of shareholders' equity. There were no significant gains or losses recognized in either period related to the UK subsidiary.

Liquidity and capital resources

As of May 31, 2003, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents of $2,559,000. The Company's working capital was $26,383,000 and $26,739,000 at May 31, 2003 and February 28, 2003.

Cash provided by operations for the period ended May 31, 2003 was $2,012,000 as compared to cash used in operations of $714,000 in the same period a year ago. Net income for the first quarter ended May 31, 2003 adjusted for non-cash items provided cash of $1,135,000. Decreases in accounts receivable, inventories and prepaid expenses provided cash of $918,000 for the quarter ended May 31, 2003. During the quarter ended May 31, 2002, operating cash flows were provided primarily by net income adjusted for non-cash items of $825,000. Offsetting increases in accounts receivable, and accounts payables and declines in prepaids used cash of $1,531,000.

The decrease in accounts receivable of $563,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2003 was due primarily to improved collection efforts. The decrease in inventories of $105,000 was primarily attributable to the timing of purchases related to contract revenues and overseas purchasing requirements. The decrease in prepaid expenses and accounts payable and accrued liabilities reflects the net effects of tax payments in the first quarter of fiscal 2003.

Investing activities used $108,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Included in this were acquisitions of property, plant and equipment of $112,000.

Financing activities used $1,711,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. There were no new debt agreements entered into in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Cash generated from operations was used to pay down debt of $799,000 and to repurchase and redeem common stock of $912,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2003.

The Company's debt agreements contain affirmative and negative covenants, including requirements related to tangible net worth and debt service coverage and new loans. Additionally, dividend payments, capital expenditures and acquisitions have certain restrictions. Substantially all of the Company's retained earnings are restricted based upon these covenants. The Company's line of credit with its primary lender expired July 1, 2003.

Management is negotiating the renewal of its line of credit with its current lender. Management anticipates being able to renew financing with its current lender or obtain new financing from another lender under terms not less favorable to those that presently exist, and that such financing will be adequate to meet the Company's liquidity needs for the fiscal year ending February 2004.

The Company has a stock repurchase program, pursuant to which it is authorized to repurchase up to 462,500 shares of the Company's common stock in the open market. As part of this program, the Company repurchased 125,000 shares for $812,000 during the quarter ended May 31, 2003.

The Company does not anticipate any significant investment in capital assets for fiscal 2004.

The Company continues to monitor its cash and financing positions, seeking to find ways to lower its interest costs and to produce positive operating cash flow. The Company always examines opportunities to grow its business and as sales contracts or acquisitions present themselves, there could be an impact to working capital requirements. As in the past, the intent is to finance such projects with existing bank lines; however, longer, more permanent sources of capital may be required in certain circumstances.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and related notes. The accounting policies that may involve a higher degree of judgments, estimates, and complexity include reserves on inventories, revenue recognition, the allowance for bad debts and warranty reserves. The Company uses the following methods and assumptions in determining its estimates:

Reserves on inventories

Reserves on inventories result in a charge to operations when the estimated net realizable value declines below cost. Management regularly reviews the Company's investment in inventories for declines in value and establishes reserves when it is apparent that the expected realizable value of the inventory falls below its original cost. The age of the inventory is not as significant as is the projected demand for CRTs. Management is able to identify consumer buying trends, such as size and application, well in advance of supplying replacement CRTs. Thus, the Company is able to adjust inventory-stocking levels according to the projected demand. The average life of a CRT is five to seven years, at which time the Company's replacement market develops. These reviews include observations of product development trends of the OEM's, new products being marketed, and technological advances relative to the product capabilities of the Company's existing inventories.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from product sales is recognized when goods are shipped. The Company does not offer rights of return to customers; however, it does offer one and two-year limited warranties on certain products.

Revenue from contracts that are long-term in nature is recognized by the percentage of completion method. Profit estimates are revised periodically based upon actual costs incurred. Any expected losses identified on contracts are recognized immediately. Revenue related to short-term contracts is recognized upon shipment of product, which is typically mandated by set delivery dates in the related contract.

Allowance for bad debts

The allowance for bad debts is determined by reviewing known customer exposures and applying historical credit loss experience to the current receivable portfolio with consideration given to the current condition of the economy, assessment of the financial position of the creditors and overall trends in past due accounts compared to established thresholds. The company monitors credit exposure and assesses the adequacy of the allowance for bad debts on a regular basis.

Warranty reserves

The warranty reserve is determined by recording a specific reserve for known warranty issues and a general reserve based on historical claims experience. Actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the reserve.

Other Accounting Policies

Other loss contingencies are recorded as liabilities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Disclosure is required when there is a reasonable possibility that the ultimate loss will exceed the recorded provision. Contingent liabilities are often resolved over long time periods. Estimating probable losses requires analysis of multiple factors that often depend on judgments about potential actions by third parties.

Forward-Looking Information

This report contains forward-looking statements and information that is based on management's beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to management. When used in this document, the words "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "intends", "will", and "expect" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: business conditions, rapid or unexpected technological changes, product development, inventory risks due to shifts in product demand, competition, domestic and foreign government relations, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, rising costs for components or unavailability of components, the timing of orders booked, lender relationships, and the risk factors listed from time to time in the Company's reports filed with the Commission.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's primary market risks include fluctuations in interest rates and variability in interest rate spread relationships, such as prime to LIBOR spreads. Approximately $24,513,000 of outstanding debt at May 31, 2003 related to long-term indebtedness under variable rate debt. Interest on the outstanding balance of this debt will be charged based on a variable rate related to the prime rate or the LIBOR rate. Both rate bases are incremented for margins specified in their agreements. Thus, the Company's interest rate is subject to market risk in the form of fluctuations in interest rates. The effect of a hypothetical one percentage point increase across all maturities of variable rate debt would result in an decrease of approximately $245,000 in pre-tax net income assuming no further changes in the amount of borrowings subject to variable rate interest from amounts outstanding at May 31, 2003. The Company does not trade in derivative financial instruments.

The Company has a subsidiary in the U.K., which is not material, but uses the British pound as its functional currency. Due to its limited operations outside of the U.S., the Company's exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies or to weakening economic conditions in foreign markets is not expected to significantly impact the Company's financial position.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

a): Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c)) as of a date (the "Evaluation Date") within 90 days before the filing date of this annual report, have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were adequate with regards to the domestic operations of the Company and designed to ensure that material information relating to us and our consolidated subsidiaries would be made known to our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer by others within those entities. Due to the restatement of the fiscal 2003 third quarter for transactions affecting the international operations, the Company determined that a review of those internal controls were necessary in order to prevent similar future situations.
b): Changes in internal controls. There were changes to internal controls to provide for more timely review and accurate reconciliations of intercompany transactions. There were no other significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect our internal controls and procedures subsequent to the Evaluation Date.
