Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
May 31, 2006

Note 1. — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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.

The consolidated financial statements include 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.

The Company has a subsidiary in the 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. — Business Acquisition

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 has moved to new facilities and is known as Aydin North and is a part of the Company’s Pennsylvania based Aydin operations. The IDS operations of Three Five Systems, Inc. are not significant to the Company.

The aggregate purchase price has been allocated based on fair values as of the date of the completion of the acquisition as follows (in thousands):

Note 3. — Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or market.

Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

 

 

Note 4. — Costs and Estimated Earnings Related to Billings on Uncompleted Contracts

Information relative to contracts in progress consisted of the following:

 

 

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 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.

As of May 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 May 31, 2006 and February 28, 2006, there were no progress payments that had been netted against inventory.

Note 5. — 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 $160,000 and $122,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

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

Note 6. — Long-term Debt and Financing Lease Obligations

Long-term debt and financing lease obligations consisted of the following (in thousands):

 

 

Note 7. — Lines of Credit

The Company maintains 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 is a floating LIBOR rate based on a ratio of debt to EBITDA, as defined in the loan documents. As of May 31, 2006, the outstanding balance of this line of credit was $20.4 million and the available amount for borrowing was $6.6 million, including the impact of $450,000 in outstanding letters of credit. The line of credit agreement contains covenants, including requirements related to tangible cash flow, ratio of debt to cash flow and asset coverage. Additionally, the bank requires that any contemplated acquisitions be accretive. The Company was not in compliance with the consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the consolidated Senior Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio covenants at May 31, 2006. To provide additional flexibility in funding for working capital requirements, and to cure the covenant violations existing under this line, on June 29, 2006 the Company executed a new line of credit with a syndicate of two banks as discussed in Note 13 Subsequent Events.

Additionally, in April 2005, the Company converted a $2.8 million short term line of credit (collateralized by assets of Fox International, Inc.) with a bank to a $3.5 million line of credit with another bank. (The $2.8 million short term line of credit repaid during Fiscal 2006 replaced a term loan facility with a bank, also collateralized by assets of Fox International, Inc., executed on July 31, 2004.) As part of the new financing, the lender paid off the balance of the short term line of credit and a mortgage secured by the land and building of Fox International, Inc. The interest rate on this line is a floating LIBOR rate based on a ratio of debt to EBITDA, as defined in the loan documents. As of May 31, 2006,

the outstanding balance of this line of credit was $3.5 million with no remaining borrowing availability. The line of credit agreement contains covenants, including requirements related to tangible cash flow, ratio of debt to cash flow and asset coverage. Additionally, the bank requires that any contemplated acquisitions be accretive. The Company was not in compliance with the consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the consolidated Senior Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio covenants at May 31, 2006. To provide additional flexibility in funding for working capital requirements, and to cure the covenant violations existing under this line, on June 29, 2006 the Company executed a new line of credit with a syndicate of two banks as discussed in Note 13 Subsequent Events.

Note 10. — Shareholder’s Equity

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) 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 (loss) per share is calculated in a manner consistent with that of basic earnings (loss) per share while giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period.

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

 

		Net Income (Loss)			Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding		Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Three months ended May 31, 2006
Basic		$	(235	)	9,703		$	(0.02	)
Effect of dilution:

Effect of dilution:
Convertible debt		23			20
Options		—			223
Diluted		$	629		9,928		$	0.06

 

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.

13

---

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 month period ended May 31, 2006, the Company recognized general and administrative expense of $13,500 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 May 31, 2006, total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options granted was $247,000. The unrecognized stock option compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a period of approximately 5 years.

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 three month periods ended May 31, 2006 and 2005.

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):

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 May 31, 2006. As discussed in Note 13. Subsequent Events, 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 11. — Comprehensive Income

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 “Reporting Comprehensive Income” establishes standards for reporting and display 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 three months ended May 31, 2006 and 2005, total comprehensive income (loss) was $(43,000) and $1.1 million, respectively.

Note 12. — Related Party Transactions

On February 27, 2006 the Company’s Chief Executive Officer loaned the Company $6.8 million under a note agreement providing for interest at six percent or the prime rate plus ¼ of one percent, whichever is higher, paid monthly. Principal payments are due in a series of monthly payments, with a final payment of $1.0 million due October 1, 2006. The note is secured by a general lien on all assets of the Company, subordinate to the lien held by Bank of America. The balance outstanding under this loan agreement was $3.0 million at May 31, 2006. See related comments in Note 13. Subsequent Events.

The Company has a demand note outstanding from another officer, bearing interest at 6%. During the three months ended May 31, 2006, an additional $220,000 was advanced on this demand note, resulting in a balance outstanding of $368,000 at May 31, 2006.

Note 13. — Subsequent Events

On June 15, 2006, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved the sale of a majority of the net assets of the Wintron Technology division, primarily accounts receivable, inventory and property, plant and equipment, through a leveraged management buyout. The purchase agreement is being drafted for the sale which will become effective June 1, 2006, based on the closing net book value of net assets sold as of May 31, 2006. Total proceeds from the sale are expected to be approximately $380,000, and the sale at net book value will not generate a 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 $74,000. Fiscal 2006 net sales and loss before income taxes were $500,000 and $649,000, respectively.

On June 22, 2006, the Company announced an agreement in principle to acquire the business and assets of EDL Displays, Inc. (“EDL”) located in Dayton Ohio. The total purchase price of the assets acquired, including accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and certain intellectual property is anticipated to be approximately $1.2 million, including the assumption of approximately $0.7 million in bank loans. Upon close of the acquisition, the EDL business

will be relocated and merged into the Company’s Aydin Displays operation. The purchase agreement is in final drafting, and completion of the transaction is scheduled to occur before the close of the Company’s second fiscal quarter.

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. These new lines of credit replace two lines of credit outstanding with Bank of America, which were terminated in conjunction with this agreement. In addition, the agreement provides for an equipment term loan of $3.0 million with payments amortized over 60 months. 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, 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.

Also in conjunction with this agreement, the CEO of the Company provided a $6.0 million subordinated term note 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 remaining balance of $3.0 million on the note provided to the Company by the CEO on February 27, 2006 was repaid effective with the issue of the new note.

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 and seek 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 May 31, 2006, believes its reserves to be adequate.

Interest rate exposure — The Company had outstanding bank debt in excess of $24.0 million as of May 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 months ended May 31, 2006 and 2005, the percentages which selected items in the Statements of Operations bear to total sales:

 

 

Net sales

Consolidated net sales decreased $1.8 million for the three months ended May 31, 2006 compared to the three months ended May 31, 2005. Display segment sales decreased $1.8 million for the three-month comparative period and sales within the Wholesale Distribution segment were flat for the three-month comparative period.

The net decrease in Display Segment sales for the three months ended May 31, 2006 is primarily attributed to declines in Monitor and Data Display CRT revenues, as compared to the same period ended May 31, 2005. The Monitor revenues declined $1.1 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. 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

18

the prior year period. Entertainment CRTs revenues declined $0.3 million over the comparable three-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. Growth in this division will be negatively impacted by the decreasing number of extended warranties sold for the 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 remained flat over the comparable three-month period. 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 were flat for the three-month period ended May 31, 2006 compared to the same period a year ago. The Wholesale Distribution segment operates a call center 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 decreased from 32.0% for the three months ended May 31, 2005 to 29.9% for the three months ended May 31, 2006.

Display segment margins decreased from 20.1% to 18.0% for the comparative three month period. Gross margins within the Monitor division increased to 15.5% for the three months ended May 31, 2006 from 14.5% for the three months ended May 31, 2005. This increase is primarily attributable to the impact of certain relocation and integration costs in Fiscal 2005, partially offset by higher than expected design costs on certain flat panel products during the three months ended May 31, 2006. Data display gross margins decreased from 2.3% for the three months ended May 31, 2005 to 0.5% for the three months ended May 31, 2006, due to the impact of the reduced sales volume and inventory adjustments during the three months ended May 31, 2006. Gross margins in home entertainment CRTs decreased from 2.9% for the three months ended May 31, 2005 to 1.9% for the three months ended May 31, 2006, due to the impact of the reduced sales volume. Gross margins from component parts sold also decreased from 0.3% for the three months ended May 31, 2005 to 0.2% for the three months ended May 31, 2006.

The Wholesale Distribution segment gross margins remained flat at 11.9% for the three months ended May 31, 2006 as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2005. Expenses for the call center are classified as operating expenses.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses as a percentage of sales increased from 25.8% for the three months ended May 31, 2005 to 29.4% for the three months ended May 31, 2006.

Display segment operating expenses decreased $0.2 million for the three month period as compared to the comparable prior year period. Management attributes the majority of this decrease to certain corporate expenses, such as reduced professional fees.

19

---

Wholesale Distribution segment operating expenses increased $0.4 million compared to the three month period a year ago, primarily due to additional expenses associated with the call center which was expanded during the second half of Fiscal 2006. These expenses (primarily payroll and telephone) are classified in general and administrative expense in the consolidated financial statements.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased $0.2 million for the three months ended May 31, 2006 as compared to the same period 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 reflect higher average borrowings outstanding and higher market interest rates in effect during the comparable periods.

Income taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended May 31, 2006 and May 31, 2005 was (34.7%) and 38.2%, 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of May 31, 2006, the Company had total cash of $2.7 million. The Company’s working capital was $16.5 million and $16.4 million at May 31, 2006 and February 28, 2006, respectively. In recent years, the Company has financed its growth and cash needs primarily through income from operations, borrowings under revolving credit facilities, advances from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and long-term debt. Liquidity provided by operating activities of the Company is reduced by working capital requirements, largely inventories and accounts receivable, debt service, capital expenditures, product line additions and dividends.

The Company specializes in certain products representing trailing-edge technology that may not be available from other sources, and may not be currently manufactured. In many instances, the Company’s products are components of larger display systems for which immediate availability is critical for the customer. Accordingly, the Company enjoys higher gross margins on certain products, but typically has larger investments in inventories than those of its competitors.

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 examines possibilities to grow its business as opportunities present themselves, such as new sales contracts or niche acquisitions. There could be an impact on working capital requirements to fund this growth. As in the past, the intent is to finance such projects with operating cash flows or existing bank lines; however, more permanent sources of capital may be required in certain circumstances.

Cash used in operations for the three months ended May 31, 2006 was $1.8 million as compared to cash used of $1.0 million for the three months ended May 31, 2005. This net increase in cash used is primarily the result of an increase in accounts receivable of $0.4 million, an increase in inventory of $0.9 million, and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.1 million, in addition to the impact of the reduced net income of the comparable periods. The increase in accounts receivable reflects normal variations in the timing of invoicing and account collection. The increase in inventory is primarily due to an increase in certain inventory in the Monitor operations, in anticipation of shipments

20

---

during the three month periods ended August 31, 2006 and November 30, 2006. The decrease in account payable and accrued expenses is attributable to normal fluctuations in the timing of purchases and the processing of invoices for payment.

Investing activities used cash of $40,000 related to the purchase of various equipment items during the three months ended May 31, 2006, compared to cash used of $1.5 million during the three months ended May 31, 2005. This decrease primarily reflects cash of approximately $1.4 million used to acquire the IDS division of Three Five Systems, Inc. in May 2005.

Financing activities provided cash of $2.8 million for the three months ended May 31, 2006, compared to cash provided of $3.8 million for the three months ended May 31, 2005, reflecting a $2.1 million net increase in advances under outstanding lines of credit and a $3.8 million repayment of an advance from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer at the end of Fiscal 2006.

The Company’s debt agreements with financial institutions 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 was not in compliance with the consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the consolidated Senior Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio covenant under the Line of Credit agreements at May 31, 2006. To provide additional flexibility in funding for working capital requirements, and to cure the covenant violations existing under these lines, on June 29, 2006 the Company executed a new Loan and Security Agreement with a syndicate of two banks as discussed in this Item 2 under the caption Subsequent Events.

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 May 31, 2006. As discussed in this Item 2 under the caption Subsequent Events, 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.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 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 net realizable value of the inventory falls below its carrying amount. Management considers the projected demand for CRTs in this estimate of net realizable value. Management is able to

21

---

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. Management reviews inventory levels on a quarterly basis. Such reviews include observations of product development trends of the OEMs, new products being marketed, and technological advances relative to the product capabilities of the Company’s existing inventories. There have been no significant changes in management’s estimates in fiscal 2006 and 2005; however, the Company cannot guarantee the accuracy of future forecasts since these estimates are subject to change based on market conditions.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized on the sale of products when the products are shipped, all significant contractual obligations have been satisfied, and the collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company’s delivery term typically is F.O.B. shipping point.

In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issue 00-10, shipping and handling fees billed to customers are classified in net sales in the consolidated statements of operations. Shipping and handling costs incurred are classified in selling and delivery in the consolidated statements of operations.

A portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from contracts to manufacture CRTs to a buyers’ specification. These contracts are accounted for under the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position No. 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts”. These contracts are fixed-price and cost-plus contracts and are recorded 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.

The Wholesale Distribution segment has several distribution agreements that it accounts for using the gross revenue basis as prescribed by EITF issue 99-19. The Company uses the gross method because the Company has general inventory risk, physical loss inventory risk and credit risk. The call center service revenue is recognized based on written pricing agreements with each manufacturer, on a per call, per email or per standard mail basis.

Allowance for bad debts

The allowance for bad debts is determined by reviewing all accounts receivable 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 as well as past payment history 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. Historically, the Company’s allowance has been sufficient for any customer write-offs. Although the Company cannot guarantee future results, management believes its policies and procedures relating to customer exposure are adequate.

22

---

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. The Company considers actual warranty claims compared to net sales, then adjusts its reserve liability accordingly. Actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the reserve. Management believes that historically its procedures have been adequate and does not anticipate that its assumptions are reasonably likely to change in the future.

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 and Risk Factors

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. These risks and uncertainties, which are included under Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report of Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2006 could cause actual results to differ materially.

Subsequent Events

On June 15, 2006, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved the sale of a majority of the net assets of the Wintron Technology division, primarily accounts receivable, inventory and property, plant and equipment, through a leveraged management buyout. The purchase agreement is being drafted for the sale which will become effective June 1, 2006, based on the closing net book value of net assets sold as of May 31, 2006. Total proceeds from the sale are expected to be approximately $380,000, and the sale at net book value will not generate a 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 $74,000. Fiscal 2006 net sales and loss before income taxes were $500,000 and $649,000, respectively.

On June 22, 2006, the Company announced an agreement in principle to acquire the business and assets of EDL Displays, Inc. (“EDL”) located in Dayton Ohio. The total purchase price of the assets acquired, including accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and certain intellectual property is anticipated to be approximately $1.2 million, including the assumption of approximately $0.7 million in bank loans. Upon close of the acquisition, the EDL business will be relocated and merged into the Company’s Aydin Displays operation. The purchase agreement is in final drafting, and completion of the transaction is scheduled to occur before the close of the Company’s second fiscal quarter.

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. These new lines of credit replace two lines of credit outstanding with Bank of America, which were terminated in conjunction with this agreement. In addition, the agreement provides for an equipment term loan of $3.0 million with payments amortized over 60 months. 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, 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.

Also in conjunction with this agreement, the CEO of the Company provided a $6.0 million subordinated term note 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 remaining balance of $3.0 million on the note provided to the Company by the CEO on February 27, 2006 was repaid effective with the issue of the new note.

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 $24.5 million of outstanding debt at May 31, 2006 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 a decrease of approximately $0.3 million 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, 2006. 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

Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 31, 2006. We perform this evaluation on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions concerning the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures can be reported in our annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of May 31, 2006.

Changes in Internal Controls

During the three months ended May 31, 2006, the Company initiated changes in its internal control over financial reporting to address material weaknesses discussed in the 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Subsequent to the end of the fiscal year, the Company hired replacement financial reporting personnel with the requisite skills, who are being trained in the Company’s reporting procedures and controls. The monthly, quarterly and annual closing processes are being documented and the participating members of the financial staff are being cross-trained on upgraded procedures. Management believes that these training procedures and the replacement of financial reporting personnel will ensure that the disclosed material weaknesses will not have a material effect on financial reporting in current and future periods.

There have not been any other changes in the our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
