Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

August 31, 2006

Note 1. – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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

As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) instructions to Form 10-Q, the following footnotes have been condensed and, therefore, do not contain all disclosures required in connection with annual financial statements.  Reference should be made to the Company’s year-end financial statements and notes thereto, including a description of the accounting policies followed by the Company, contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006, as filed with the Commission. Other than the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” as described in Note 10, there have been no material changes in accounting policy during Fiscal 2007.

The financial information included in this report has been prepared by the Company, without audit.  In the opinion of management, the financial information included in this report contains all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods.  Nevertheless, the results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.  The February 28, 2006 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company has a subsidiary in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), which uses the British pound as its functional currency. Assets and liabilities of this foreign subsidiary 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.

Note 2. – New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Interpretation No. 48 requires the use of a two-step approach for recognizing and measuring tax benefits taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and disclosures regarding uncertainties in income tax positions. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The cumulative effect of initially adopting Interpretation No. 48 is to record an adjustment to opening retained earnings in the year of adoption and should be presented separately. Only tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized upon adoption of Interpretation No. 48. Management is in the process of evaluating the provisions of the interpretation, but does not anticipate that the adoption of this interpretation will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“Statement No.”) 157, Fair Value Measurements. Statement No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement does not require new fair value measurements, but is applied to the extent that other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements. The statement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Companies will be required to disclose the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the inputs used to develop the

8

---

measurements, and the effect of certain of the measurements on earnings (or changes in net assets) for the period. Statement No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R), which requires an employer to recognize the over-funded or under-funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. Statement No. 158 also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. This statement is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. The Company does not currently provide defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans, therefore management has determined that the adoption of this interpretation will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. – Business Acquisitions

In August 2006, the Company acquired certain assets of Hobson Bros. Inc. of Chicago for the production of various molded plastic and rubber parts, wire assemblies and stamped metal parts used primarily in the display industry. The fair value of these assets, including inventories of $30,000, equipment of $168,000 and product development designs and drawings of $50,000, were acquired in exchange for 26,830 shares of the Company’s common stock held as treasury shares. The market value of shares issued was $9.32 at the date of close for a total acquisition cost of $250,000. The product development designs and drawings are being amortized over a five year period. These assets will be integrated into the Company’s Tucker Georgia facilities.

On June 22, 2006, the Company acquired the business and assets of EDL Displays, Inc. (“EDL”) located in Dayton Ohio. EDL is noted for its specialized, large-size, ruggedized, high-resolution displays with application in air traffic control, shipboard navigation, simulation, homeland security, and command and control. The assets acquired in this transaction have been recorded based on their fair value at the date of acquisition and include accounts receivable of $120,000, inventories of $400,000, equipment of $50,000 and certain intellectual property and customer lists of $658,000. Total consideration for the assets acquired included a cash payment of $550,000 and the assumption of a $678,000 bank loan. The purchase agreement provides for an adjustment to the purchase price based on final collection of accounts receivable and evaluation of the market value of purchased inventories. The intellectual property, including product development designs and drawings are being amortized over a five year period, while the customer list is being amortized over a three year period, which the Company estimates to be the useful life of these assets. The EDL business will be relocated and merged into the Company’s Pennsylvania based Aydin Displays operation.

In May 2005, the Company acquired the IDS division of Three Five Systems, Inc.  Three Five Systems specializes in flat panel, touch screen and rack mount systems with custom military, industrial and commercial requirements.  As part of this transaction, the Company acquired fixed assets of $74,000, inventories of $773,000, and various other assets of $530,000 in exchange for cash of $1,377,000.  The other assets include product development designs and drawings and a customer list, as well as a non-compete agreement.  The product development designs and drawings are being amortized over a five year period, while the customer list is being amortized over a three year period, which the Company estimates to be the useful life of these assets.  The IDS division is a part of the Company’s Aydin operations.  The IDS operations of Three Five Systems, Inc. are not significant to the Company.

Note 5. – Costs and Estimated Earnings Related to Billings on Uncompleted Contracts

Information relative to contracts in progress consisted of the following (in thousands):

		August 31,			February 28,
		2006			2006
Costs incurred to date on uncompleted contracts		$	6,503		$	4,528
Estimated earnings recognized to date on these contracts		4,127			2,585
		10,630			7,113
Billings to date		(10,663		)	(7,110		)
Costs and estimated earnings in excess (deficit) of billings, net		$	(33	)	$	3
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings		$	1,769		$	968
Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings		(1,802		)	(965		)
		$	(33	)	$	3

 

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings are the results of contracts in progress (jobs) in completing orders to customers’ specifications on contracts accounted for under SOP 81-1 “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts”.  Costs included are material, labor and overhead.  These jobs require design and

10

---

engineering effort for a specific customer purchasing a unique product.  The Company records revenue on these fixed-price and cost-plus contracts on the percentage of completion basis using the ratio of costs incurred to estimated total costs at completion as the measurement basis for progress toward completion and revenue recognition.  Any losses identified on contracts are recognized immediately.  Contract accounting requires significant judgment relative to assessing risks, estimating contract costs and making related assumptions for schedule and technical issues.  With respect to contract change orders, claims or similar items, judgment must be used in estimating related amounts and assessing the potential for realization.  These amounts are only included in contract value when they can be reliably estimated and realization is probable.  Billings are generated based on specific contract terms, which might be a progress payment schedule, specific shipments, etc.  None of the above contracts in progress contain post-shipment obligations.

Changes in job performance, manufacturing efficiency, final contract settlements and other factors affecting estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. The effect of changes in the estimated profitability of contracts for the six month period ended August 31, 2006, was to increase net earnings by approximately $0.3 million above the amounts which would have been reported had the preceding year contract profitability estimates been used.

As of August 31, 2006 and February 28, 2006, there were no production costs which exceeded the aggregate estimated cost of all in process and delivered units relating to long-term contracts.  Additionally, there were no claims outstanding that would affect the ultimate realization of full contract values.  As of August 31, 2006 and February 28, 2006, there were no progress payments that had been netted against inventory.

Note 6. – Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist primarily of the unamortized value of purchased patents, customer lists, non-compete agreements and other intangible assets.  Intangible assets are amortized over the period of their expected lives, generally ranging from 5 to 15 years.  Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $374,000 and $287,000 for the six months ended August 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The cost and accumulated amortization of intangible assets was as follows (in thousands).

		August 31, 2006						February 28, 2006
		Cost			Accumulated Amortization			Cost			Accumulated Amortization
Customer lists		$	3,386		$	841		$	2,968		$	658
Non-compete agreements		1,245			426			1,230			301
Patents		665			100			335			78
Other intangibles		148			68			119			24

Note 8. - Lines of Credit

On June 29, 2006, Video Display Corporation and Subsidiaries executed a Loan and Security Agreement with a syndicate including RBC Centura Bank and Regions Bank to provide a $17 million line of credit to the Company and a $3.5 million line of credit to the Company’s subsidiary Fox International, Inc., both with a maturity of 24 months. As of August 31, 2006, the outstanding balances of these lines of credit were $12.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The available amounts for borrowing were $4.5 million and $0.0 million, respectively. These loans are secured by all assets and personal property of the Company. The agreement contains covenants, including requirements related to tangible cash flow, ratio of debt to cash flow and assets coverage. The agreement also includes restrictions on the incurrence of additional debt or liens, investments (including Company stock), divestitures and certain other changes in the business. The interest rate on these loans is a floating LIBOR rate based on a fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined in the loan documents. These new lines of credit replaced two lines of credit outstanding with Bank of America, which were terminated in conjunction with this agreement. At the date of termination, the Company was not in compliance with the consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the consolidated Senior Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio covenants as defined by the Bank of America credit line agreements. In conjunction with Loan and Security Agreement, the syndicate also executed a $3.0 million term note with the Company, and the CEO of the Company provided a $6.0 million subordinated term note to the Company.

Prior to its replacement discussed above, the Company maintained a $27.5 million credit facility, executed in November 2004, with a bank, collateralized by equipment, inventories and accounts receivable of the Company.  The interest rate on this line was a floating LIBOR rate based on a ratio of debt to EBITDA, as defined in the loan documents.  The line of credit agreement contained covenants, including requirements related to tangible cash flow, ratio of debt to cash flow and asset coverage.  Additionally, the bank required that any contemplated acquisitions be accretive.

The new $3.5 million line of credit to Fox International, Inc. discussed above, replaced a line of credit in the same amount with another bank which had been outstanding since April 2005. At that time, the Company repaid a $2.8 million short term line of credit (collateralized by assets of Fox International, Inc.) with a bank plus the balance of a mortgage secured by the land and building of Fox International, Inc.  The interest rate on this line was a floating LIBOR rate based on a ratio of debt to EBITDA, as defined in the loan documents.  The line of credit agreement contained covenants, including requirements related to tangible cash flow, ratio of debt to cash flow and asset coverage.  Additionally, the bank required that any contemplated acquisitions be accretive.

Note 11. – Shareholder’s Equity

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common 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 potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands, except per share data):

					Weighted
					Average

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

On March 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“Statement No. 123(R)”), which requires employee share-based compensation to be accounted for under the fair value method and requires the use of an option pricing model for estimating the fair value of stock options at the date of grant. Previously, the Company accounted for stock options under the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, and provided the required pro forma disclosures prescribed by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” (“Statement No. 123”), as amended. Since the exercise price of options equaled the market price of the stock on the date of grant, the stock options had no intrinsic value and, therefore, no expense was recognized for stock options by the Company prior to the beginning of Fiscal 2007.

The Company elected to adopt Statement No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method, which requires compensation expense to be recorded for all unvested share-based awards beginning in the first quarter of adoption. Accordingly, prior period information presented in this Report on Form 10-Q has not been restated to reflect the fair value method of expensing stock options.

For the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2006, the Company recognized general and administrative expense of $13,500 and $26,000, related to share-based compensation. After the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the liability for the share-based compensation recognized is presented in the consolidated balance sheet as part of additional paid in capital. As of August 31, 2006, total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options granted was $221,000. The unrecognized stock option compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a period of approximately 5 years.

Upon recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Company, on August 25, 2006, the Shareholders of the Company approved the Video Display Corporation 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”), whereby options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock may be granted and up to 100,000 restricted common stock shares may be awarded. Options may not be granted at a price less than the fair market value, determined on the day the options are granted. Options granted to a participant who is the owner of ten percent or more of the common stock of the Company may not be granted at a price less than 110% of the fair market value, determined on the day the options are granted. The exercise price of each option granted is fixed and may not be re-priced. The life of each option granted is determined by the plan administrator, but may not exceed the lesser of five years from the date the participant has the vested right to exercise the option, or seven years from the date of the grant. The life of an option granted to a participant who is the owner of ten percent or more of the common stock of the Company may not exceed five years from the date of grant. All full-time or part-time employees, and Directors of the Company, are eligible for participation in the Plan. In addition, any consultant or advisor who renders bona fide services to the Company, other than in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction, is eligible for participation in the plan. The plan administrator is appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company, and must include two or more outside, independent Directors of the Company. The plan may be terminated by action of the Board of Directors, but in any event will terminate on the tenth anniversary of its effective date.

Prior to expiration on May 1, 2006 the Company maintained an incentive stock option plan whereby options to purchase up to 1.2 million shares could be granted to directors and key employees at a price not less than fair market value at the time the options were granted. Upon vesting, options granted are exercisable for a period not to exceed ten years.  No further options may be granted pursuant to the plan after the expiration date; provided however, those options outstanding at that date will remain exercisable in accordance with their respective terms.

---

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the Company to estimate the expected term of the stock option grants and expected future stock price volatility over the term. The term represents the expected period of time the Company believes the options will be outstanding based on historical information. Estimates of expected future stock price volatility are based on the historic volatility of the Company’s common stock. The Company calculates the historic volatility as the standard deviation of the differences in the natural logarithms of the weekly stock closing price, adjusted for dividends and stock splits.

No options were granted during the six month period ended August 31, 2006.

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 Statement No. 123, the effect on the Company’s pro forma net income and net income per share would have been as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

		Three Months			Six Months
		Ended August 31,			Ended August 31,

Stock Repurchase Program

The Company has a stock repurchase program, pursuant to which it was originally authorized to repurchase up to 462,500 shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market.  On January 11, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a continuation of the stock repurchase program, and authorized the Company to repurchase up to 600,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock, depending on the market price of the shares. There is no minimum number of shares required to be repurchased under the program. Under this program, an additional 658,618 shares remain authorized to be repurchased by the Company at August 31, 2006. As discussed in Note 8. Lines of Credit, the Loan and Security Agreement executed by Company on June, 29, 2006 includes restrictions on investments which currently restrict further repurchases of stock under this program.

Note 12. – Comprehensive Income

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 “Reporting Comprehensive Income” establishes standards for reporting and presentation of non-owner changes in shareholders’ equity.  For the Company, total non-owner changes in shareholders’ equity include net income and the change in the cumulative foreign exchange translation adjustment component of shareholders’ equity.  During the six months ended August 31, 2006 and 2005, total comprehensive income was $397,000 and $1.2 million, respectively.

Note 13. – Related Party Transactions

In conjunction with an agreement involving re-financing of the Company’s lines of credit, on June 29, 2006 the Company’s Chief Executive Officer provided a $6.0 million subordinated term note to the Company with an amortization of 15 years, and a maturity of 60 months. The interest rate on this note is equal to the prime rate plus one percent. The note is secured by a general lien on all assets of the Company, subordinate to the lien held by the syndicate of RBC Centura and Regions Bank. The balance outstanding under this loan agreement was approximately $6.0 million at August 31, 2006.

On February 27, 2006 the Company’s Chief Executive Officer loaned the Company $6.8 million under a note agreement which provided for interest at six percent or the prime rate plus ¼ of one percent, whichever was higher, paid monthly. Principal payments were due in a series of monthly payments, with a final payment of $1.0 million due October 1, 2006. The balance outstanding under this loan agreement was $3.0 million at June 29, 2006 when the balance was re-paid in conjunction with the note agreement discussed above.

The Company has a demand note outstanding from another officer, bearing interest at 8%. During the six months ended August 31, 2006, an additional $220,000 was advanced on this demand note and $35,000 was repaid, resulting in a balance outstanding of $335,000 at August 31, 2006.

Note 14. – Disposal of Assets

Effective May 31, 2006, the Company sold the net assets of the Wintron Technology division, primarily accounts receivable, inventory and property, plant and equipment, through a leveraged buyout to a group, including managers and shareholders of the Company. Total proceeds from the sale at book value were approximately $354,000, resulting in no gain or loss. Net sales from the Wintron facility for the three months ended May 31, 2006 were $126,000, producing a loss before income taxes of $101,000. Fiscal 2006 net sales and loss before income taxes were $500,000 and $649,000, respectively.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached interim consolidated financial statements and with the Company’s 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders, which included audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006, as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

The Company is a worldwide leader in the manufacture and distribution of a wide range of display devices, encompassing, among others, entertainment, military, medical and simulation display solutions.  The Company is comprised of two segments - (1) the manufacture and distribution of monitors, projection systems and CRT displays and (2) the wholesale distribution of consumer electronic parts. The display segment is organized into four interrelated operations aggregated into one operating segment pursuant to the aggregation criteria of SFAS 131:

·                  Monitors – offers a complete range of CRT, flat panel and projection display systems for use in training and simulation, military, medical and industrial applications.

·                  Data Display – offers a complete range of CRTs for use in data display screen, including computer terminal monitors and medical monitoring equipment.

·                  Home Entertainment – offers a wide range of CRTs and projection tubes for television and home theater equipment.

·                  Components – provides replacement electron guns and other components for CRTs primarily for servicing the Company’s internal needs.

During Fiscal 2007, management of the Company is focusing key resources on strategic efforts to dispose of unprofitable operations while seeking acquisition opportunities that enhance the profitability and sales growth of the Company’s more profitable product lines. In addition, the Company plans to seek new products through acquisitions and internal development that complement existing profitable product lines. Challenges facing the Company during these efforts include:

Inventory management - the Company continually monitors historical sales trends as well as projected future needs to ensure adequate on hand supplies of inventory and to ensure against overstocking of slower moving, obsolete items.

Certain of the Company’s divisions maintain significant inventories of CRTs and component parts in an effort to ensure its customers a reliable source of supply.  The Company’s inventory turnover averages over 175 days, although in many cases the Company would anticipate holding 90 to 100 days of inventory in the normal course of operations.  This level of inventory is higher than some of the Company’s competitors due to the fact that it sells a number of products representing older, or trailing edge, technology that may not be available from other sources. The market for these trailing edge technology products is declining and, as manufacturers for these products discontinue production or exit the business, the Company may make last time buys. In the monitor operations of the Company’s business, the market for its products is characterized by fairly rapid change as a result of the development of new technologies, particularly in the flat panel display area. If the Company fails to anticipate the changing needs of its customers and accurately forecast their requirements, it may accumulate inventories of products which its customers no longer need and which the Company will be unable to sell or return to its vendors.  Because of this, the Company’s management monitors the adequacy of its inventory reserves regularly, and at August 31, 2006, believes its reserves to be adequate.

Interest rate exposure – The Company had outstanding debt in excess of $25.0 million as of August 31, 2006, all of which is subject to interest rate fluctuations by the Company’s lenders.  Higher rates applied by the Federal Reserve Board over the past four fiscal quarters and potential continued rate hikes have negatively affected the Company’s earnings and will continue to negatively impact the Company’s earnings.  It is the intent of the Company to continually monitor interest rates and consider converting portions of the Company’s debt from floating rates to fixed rates should conditions be favorable for such interest rate swaps or hedges.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth, for the three and six months ended August 31, 2006 and 2005, the percentages which selected items in the Statements of Operations bear to total sales:

Net sales

Consolidated net sales decreased $3.5 million for the three months ended August 31, 2006 and decreased $5.3 million for the six months ended August 31, 2006, as compared to the same periods ended August 31, 2005. Display segment sales decreased $4.5 million for the three-month comparative period and decreased $6.3 million for the six-month comparative period. Sales within the Wholesale Distribution segment increased $1.0 million for the three-month comparative period and increased $0.9 million for the six-month comparative period.

The net decrease in Display Segment sales for the three months ended August 31, 2006 is primarily attributed to declines in Monitor revenues, as compared to the same period ended August 31, 2005.  The Monitor revenues declined $3.5 million over the three-month period primarily due to the fulfillment of a military contract for replacement CRTs early in fiscal 2006, which has not been renewed, and reduced demand for new flight training systems for the commercial airline industry. The Data Display CRT revenues declined $0.4 million over the three-month period primarily due to reduced shipments of lower priced replacement CRTs compared to the prior year period. Continuing recent historical trends, Entertainment CRTs and Electron Gun and Components revenues declined $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively over the comparable three-month period.

The net decrease in Display Segment sales for the six months ended August 31, 2006 is primarily attributed to declines in Monitor, Data Display CRT and Entertainment CRT revenues, as compared to the same period ended August 31, 2005.  The Monitor revenues declined $4.5 million over the six-month period primarily due to the fulfillment of a military contract for replacement CRTs early in fiscal 2006, which has not been renewed, and reduced demand for new flight training systems for the commercial airline industry. The Data Display CRT revenues declined $0.8 million over the six-month period primarily due to reduced shipments of lower priced replacement CRTs compared to the prior year period. Entertainment CRT revenues declined $0.7 million over the comparable six-month period. A significant portion of the entertainment division’s sales are to major television retailers as replacements for products sold under manufacturer and extended warranties.  Due to continued lower retail sales prices for mid-size television sets (25” to 30”), fewer extended warranties were sold by retailers, a trend consistent with recent prior fiscal years.  The Company remains the primary supplier of product to meet manufacturers’ standard warranties.  Future revenue trends in this division will be negatively impacted by the decreasing number of extended warranties sold for larger, more expensive sets. Because the Company is in the replacement market, it has the ability to track retail sales trends and, accordingly, can attempt to adjust quantities of certain size CRTs carried in stock and reduce exposure to obsolescence.

Electron Gun and Components revenues declined $0.2 million over the comparable three-month and six-month periods. Electron Gun and Components revenues have generally declined in recent years due to weaker demand for electron gun and stem sales.  Electron gun sales have historically been dependent upon the demand by domestic and foreign television CRT remanufacturers.  These sales have declined over the past few years as consumers move towards purchasing new technology as opposed to repairing existing sets.

Wholesale Distribution segment net sales increased $1.0 million for the three-month period ended August 31, 2006  and increased $0.9 million for the six-month ended August 1, 2006, compared to the same period a year ago. This growth is attributed to an expansion of the call center late in fiscal 2006, which acts as a consumer and dealer support center for both in-warranty and out-of-warranty household products, appliances, parts and accessories for Black & Decker, Delonghi, Norelco, Coby and various other manufacturers.  This call center also acts as a technical support center for these same manufacturers.

Gross margins

Consolidated gross margins increased from 32.6% for the three months ended August 31, 2005 to 34.3% for the three months ended August 31, 2006.  For the six months ended August 31, 2006, consolidated gross margins decreased slightly to 32.2% from 32.3% for the comparable prior year period.

Display segment margins increased from 27.1% to 28.4% for the comparative three-month period and declined slightly from 26.6% to 26.2% for the comparative six-month period. Gross margins within the Monitor division increased to 29.7% for the three months ended August 31, 2006 compared to 26.8% for the same period a year ago and increased to 28.5% from 26.2% for the six months ended August 31, 2006 compared to the prior year.  This increase is primarily attributable to continued streamlining of operational facilities and cost reduction efforts as well as the one time impact of certain relocation and integration costs incurred in Fiscal 2005. Data display gross margins increased to 34.4% for the three months ended August 31, 2006 compared to 25.6% for the same period a year ago and decreased from 20.5% to

21

---

17.5% for the six months ended August 31, 2006 compared to the prior year. Margins for the three months ended August 31, 2006 were improved by the impact of cost reduction efforts in the Company’s UK operations and favorable trends in exchange rates over the period. The margin decline for the six months ended August 31, 2006 primarily reflects the impact of reduced sales volume from the Company’s Tucker Georgia operations.  Gross margins in home entertainment CRTs decreased from 29.2% for the three months ended August 31, 2005 to 3.4% for the three months ended August 31, 2006 and decreased from 43.4% for the six months ended August 31, 2005 to 27.9% for the six months ended August 31, 2006, due to the impact of the reduced sales volume.  Gross margins from component parts sold also decreased from 52.4% for the three months ended August 31, 2005 to (151.5%) for the three months ended August 31, 2006 and decreased from 48.5% for the six months ended August 31, 2005 to (32.9%) for the six months ended August 31, 2006, due to the impact of the reduced sales volume.

The Wholesale Distribution segment gross margins decreased from 52.7% to 48.0% for the comparative three-month period and declined from 52.5% to 48.0% for the comparative six-month period, primarily due to the impact of increased sales volume of lower margin call center “service sales” for the three and six months ended August 31, 2006. Expenses for the call center are classified as operating expenses.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses as a percentage of sales increased from 23.5% to 27.9% for the three months ended August 31, 2006 compared to the three months ended August 31, 2005 and increased from 24.6% to 28.6% for the six-month comparative period, primarily reflecting the impact of reduced sales volume.

Display segment operating expenses decreased $0.1 million for the three-month period ended August 31, 2006, and decreased $0.2 million for the six-month period ended August 31, 2006, as compared to the comparable prior year periods.  These reductions expenses are primarily due to decreases in corporate legal and professional fees.

Wholesale Distribution segment operating expenses increased $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended August 31, 2006, compared to the comparable periods a year ago, primarily due to additional expenses associated with the call center which was expanded late in fiscal 2006.  These expenses (primarily payroll) are classified in general and administrative expense in the consolidated financial statements.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended August 31, 2006 as compared to the same periods a year ago.  The Company maintains various debt agreements with different interest rates, most of which are based on the prime rate or LIBOR.   These increases in interest expense primarily reflect higher market interest rates in effect during Fiscal 2006 compared to Fiscal 2005, and a slightly higher level of average outstanding borrowings.

Income taxes

The effective tax rate for the six months ended August 31, 2006 and August 31, 2005 was 50.0% and 38.0%, respectively.  These rates differ from 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

Gains or losses resulting from the transactions with the Company’s 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.
