The Company markets its products worldwide primarily from facilities located in the United States
and several sales and service agents located worldwide. Please read the comments under the caption
Forward looking statements and risk factors in Item 1A Risk Factors of this Annual Report on Form
10-K.
Description of Principal Business
The Company generates revenues from the manufacturing and distribution of displays and display
components (Display Segment) (71% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 2010) as well as the
wholesale distribution of consumer electronic parts from foreign and domestic manufacturers
(Wholesale Distribution Segment) (29% of consolidated net sales in 2010). Substantially all of
the Companys income before income taxes was derived from the Display Segment of the business in
fiscal 2010. See Note 12. Segment Information to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net Sales, by category of product, of the Display Segment for fiscal 2010 are comprised of the
following:
Monitors (84%)
Data Display CRTs (14%)
Entertainment CRTs (1%)
Component Parts (1%)
Data Display CRTs (14%)
Entertainment CRTs (1%)
Component Parts (1%)
A more detailed discussion of sales by category of product is included under the section
entitled Principal Products in Display Segment.
The Companys manufacturing and distribution facilities are located in Georgia, Florida,
Louisiana, Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois, Kentucky, in addition to several sales and service
agents located worldwide.
The Wholesale Distribution Segment, operated under the Fox International Ltd name, is
headquartered in Bedford Heights, Ohio with additional distribution centers in Buffalo, New York
and Richardson, Texas.
The Company continues to explore opportunities to expand its product offerings in the display
industry. The Company anticipates that this expansion will be achieved by adding new products or by
acquiring existing companies that would enhance the Companys position in the display industry.
Management continually evaluates product trends externally in the industry and internally in
divisions in which the Company operates. Overall trends are discussed herein under Flat Panel and
Other Technology. During the last three years, the Company expended significant research and
development funds (approximately $1.0 million in fiscal 2010) in high-resolution projection displays,
active matrix

liquid crystal display (AMLCD) technologies, and infrared imaging (IR) for
commercial and military applications.
Segment Information
This information is provided in Note 12. Segment Information to the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Principal Products In Display Segment
Monitors
The Companys monitor operations are conducted in Phelps, New York (Z-Axis); Birdsboro,
Pennsylvania (Aydin); Cape Canaveral, Florida (Display Systems); and Lexington, Kentucky (Lexel).
This portion of the Companys operations, which contributed approximately 60% of fiscal 2010
consolidated net sales, involves the design, engineering, and manufacture of complete monochrome,
color monitor, and projector display units using new CRTs or flat panel displays. The Company will
customize these units for specific applications, including ruggedization for military uses or size
reduction due to space limitations in industrial and medical applications. Because of the Companys
flexible and cost efficient manufacturing, it is able to handle low volume orders that generate
higher margins.
This portion of the Companys operations targets niche markets where competition from major
multinational electronics companies tends to be lower. The prime customers for these products
include defense, security, training, and simulation areas of the United States of America and
foreign militaries as well as the major defense contractors such as the Boeing Company, L-3
Communications Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and others. These defense contractors
utilize the Companys products for ruggedized mission critical applications such as shipboard and
nuclear submarines. Flight simulator displays are also produced to provide a full range of flight
training simulations for military applications. The primary components for the ruggedized product
line consist of projection systems, CRT and flat panel displays, circuit boards and machine parts.
Through the EDL product lines, the Company offers an additional line of Air Traffic Control (ATC)
displays.
Although most monitors are customized to meet a customers specifications, all monitors sold
include the following general components: CRT or flat panel displays, circuit boards, and machine
parts. Most of the Companys monitors are then ruggedized, which allows them to withstand adverse
conditions, such as extreme temperature, depth, altitude, and vibration.
The Company anticipates that AMLCD and Plasma Display products, due to their lower space and
power requirements, will eventually become the display of choice in many display applications. The
significance of this continuing trend has had an effect on the Display Segment of the Company. In
anticipation of long-term trends toward flat panel display usage, the Company has focused its
efforts as well as its acquisition strategy toward flat panel technologies for niche market
applications in the medical, simulation, training and military markets. Other types of technology,
including high-definition television (HDTV), have not had a significant impact on the Companys
business. HDTV utilizes both CRT and flat panel technology and, therefore, has potential positive
effects on the Company due to anticipated higher margin CRT replacements. There will be long-term
negative effects, as the HDTV market moves toward greater flat panel utilization, on the Companys
CRT business, but the impact is not anticipated to be significant as the consumer television
replacement market currently accounts for less than 1% of overall Company revenues. The Company
will continue to monitor these trends and adjust its CRT inventory levels and operating facilities
to reflect changes in demand.

Data Display CRTs and Entertainment CRTs
Since its organization in 1975, the Company has been engaged in the distribution and
manufacture of CRTs using new and recycled CRT glass bulbs, primarily in the replacement market,
for use in data display screens, including computer terminal monitors, medical monitoring equipment
and various other data display applications and in television sets. The Company currently markets
CRTs in over 3,000 types and sizes.
The Companys CRT manufacturing operations of new and recycled CRTs are conducted at
facilities located in White Mills, Pennsylvania (Chroma); Bossier City, Louisiana (Novatron);
Lexington, Kentucky (Lexel); Loves Park, Illinois (Clinton); and Birdsboro, Pennsylvania (Aydin).
The Companys Tucker, Georgia location is the Companys primary distribution point for data display
CRTs purchased from outside sources.
The Company maintains the capability of manufacturing a full range of monochrome CRTs as well
as remanufacturing color CRTs from recycled glass. In addition, our Aydin and Lexel operations
manufacture a wide range of radar, infrared, camera and direct-view storage tubes for military and
security applications. All CRTs manufactured by the Company are tested for quality in accordance
with standards approved by United Laboratories.
The Company also distributes new CRTs and other electronic tubes purchased from original
manufacturers, both domestic and international. The Company forecasts its inventory requirements
for six months to one year. Occasionally, manufacturers offer large quantities of overstocked
original manufactured tubes at significant price reductions. The Company acquires these tubes when
the existing replacement market appears to demonstrate adequate future demand and the purchase
price allows a reasonable profit for the risk. Due to the extended time frame for the replacement
market to develop (five to seven years), these purchased inventories sometimes do not sell as
quickly as other inventories. Bulk CRT purchases have declined over the past few years as the
Company is managing current inventory levels against the anticipated reduction in future CRT demand
due to the growth of flat panel technology.
The Company maintains an internal sales organization to sell directly to OEMs and their
service organizations and markets its products through approximately 75 independent wholesale
electronics distributors located throughout the U.S.
In addition to factors affecting the overall market for such products, the Companys sales
volume in the CRT replacement markets is dependent upon the Companys ability to provide prompt
response to customers orders, while maintaining quality control and competitive pricing. The
Companys CRT manufacturing activities are scheduled primarily based upon current customer demands and projected future customer needs.
Component Parts
The Company, through its Tucker, Georgia based electron gun manufacturing subsidiary,
Southwest Vacuum Devices Inc, manufactures electron gun assemblies comprised of small metal, glass
and ceramic parts. The assembly process is highly labor intensive. While the particular electron
guns being sold are of the Companys own design, most are replacements for electron guns previously
designed for original equipment CRTs used in television sets and computer monitors. Raw materials
consist of glass and metal stamped parts.
Although Southwest Vacuum markets its products to independent customers, the majority of
electron guns produced by the Company are consumed internally among the Companys own CRT
manufacturing facilities. Sales to these related divisions, which have been eliminated in the
condensed consolidated financial statements, amounted to approximately $234,000 and $480,000 for
fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Principal Products in Wholesale Distribution Segment
Fox International purchases consumer electronic parts of numerous major consumer electronics
manufacturers, both foreign and domestic. This subsidiary resells these products to major
electronic distributors, retail electronic repair facilities, third-party contractual repair shops,
and directly to consumers. In its relationship with consumer electronic manufacturers, Fox
International receives the right, often exclusively, to ship parts to authorized dealers. Many of
the manufacturers also direct inquiries for replacement parts to Fox International. Manufacturers
require a distributor to stock their most popular parts and monitor the order fill ratio to ensure
that their customers have access to sufficient replacement parts. Fox International attempts to
maintain high fill ratios in order to secure favored distributor status from the manufacturers,
requiring a significant investment in inventories. Fox International operates a call center as a
consumer and dealer support center for both in-warranty and out-of-warranty household products,
appliances, parts and electronics for Black & Decker, Delonghi, Norelco, Coby, and numerous other
manufacturers. This call center also performs as a technical support center for the same
manufacturers and processes all orders for distribution of the consumer electronic parts.
Patents and Trademarks
The Company is currently in the process of applying for patents on newly developed products
and technology and holds patents with respect to certain products and services. The Company also
sells products under various trademarks and trade names. Additionally, the Company licenses certain
electronic technology to other manufacturing companies, which generated royalty revenues of
approximately $258,000 and $109,000 in fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company believes
that its patents and trademarks are of value, and intends to protect its rights when, in its view,
these rights are infringed upon. The Companys key patents expire in 2014. The Company believes
that success in its industry primarily will be dependent upon incorporating emerging technology
into new product line introductions, frequent product enhancements, and customer support and
service.
Seasonal Variations in Business
Historically, there has not been seasonal variability in the Companys business.
Working Capital Practices
The Company has a Loan and Security Agreement with RBC Bank to provide a $17 million line of
credit to the Company and a $3.5 million line of credit to the Companys subsidiary Fox
International, Ltd. These lines are used primarily for the purchases of inventory and payments of
accounts payable.
Concentration of Customers
The Company sells to a variety of domestic and international customers on an open-unsecured
account basis. These customers principally operate in the medical, military, industrial and
avionics industries. The Companys Display Segment had direct and indirect net sales to the U.S.
government, primarily the Department of Defense for training and simulation programs that comprised
approximately 37% and 40% of Display Segment net sales and 26% and 28% of consolidated net sales in
fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively. Sales to foreign customers were 11% and 13% of consolidated net
sales for fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Companys Wholesale Distribution Segment had net
sales to two customers that comprised approximately 34% and 30% of that segments net sales in
fiscal 2010 and 2009 respectively. The Company attempts to minimize credit risk by reviewing
customers credit history before extending credit, and by monitoring customers credit exposure on
a daily basis. The Company
establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based upon factors surrounding the
credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.

Backlog
The Companys backlog is comprised of undelivered, firm customer orders, which are scheduled
to ship within eighteen months. The Companys backlog was approximately $31.9 million at February
28, 2010 and $17.8 million at February 28, 2009. The Companys Lexel division, which is in the
Display Segment, comprised $10.1 million or 32% and $10.2 million or 57% of the 2010 and 2009
backlog, respectively. It is anticipated that more than 95% of the February 28, 2010 backlog will
ship during fiscal 2011.
Government Contracts
The Company, primarily through its Aydin, Lexel, and Display Systems subsidiaries, had
contracts with the U.S. government (principally the Department of Defense and Department of Defense
subcontractors) which generated net sales of approximately $18.6 million and $20.0 million for
fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Companys costs and earnings in excess of billings on these
contracts were approximately $4.1 million at February 28, 2010 and $1.4 million at February 28,
2009. The Company had billings in excess of costs and earnings on these contracts of a nominal
amount at February 28, 2010 and at February 28, 2009. These contracts are typically less than
twelve months in duration and specify a delivery schedule for units ordered. Most of these
government contracts specify a designated number of units to be delivered at a specified price,
rather than on a cost plus basis. These contracts are subject to government audit to ensure
conformity with design specifications.
Environmental Matters
The Companys operations are subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations
relating to the generation, storage, handling, emission, transportation, and discharge of materials
into the environment. The costs of complying with environmental protection laws and regulations
have not had a material adverse impact on the Companys financial condition or results of
operations in the past and are not expected to have a material adverse impact in the foreseeable
future.
Research and Development
The objectives of the Companys research and development activities are to increase efficiency
and quality in its manufacturing and assembly operations and to enhance its existing product line
by developing alternative product applications to existing display systems and electron optic
technology. The Company continues its research and development in advanced infrared imaging (IR)
for commercial and military applications. The Company has funded additional IR research in
partnership with the University of Rhode Island. The Company believes that potential future markets
for IR include military and security surveillance, target acquisition, fire fighting, and
industrial and medical thermography. The Company includes research and development expenditures in
the consolidated financial statements as a part of general and administrative costs. Research and
development costs were approximately $1.0 million and $1.3 million in fiscal 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
Employees
As of February 28, 2010, the Company employed 440 persons on a full time basis. Of these, 131
were employed in executive, administrative, and clerical positions, 117 were employed in sales and
distribution, and 192 were employed in manufacturing operations. The Company believes its employee
relations to be satisfactory.
Competition
The Company believes that it has a competitive advantage in the display industry due to its
ability to engineer custom display solutions for a variety of industrial and military applications,
its ability to provide internally produced component parts, and its manufacturing flexibility. As a
result, the Company can offer more customization in the design and engineering of new products.
With the operations of
6
Table of Contents
Aydin Displays, Lexel Imaging and Display Systems, the Company has become
one of the leading suppliers within the specialty display markets.
The Company utilizes flat panel displays in many of its monitor units. These flat panels are
purchased from OEMs. The net sales generated in fiscal 2010 from products utilizing flat panel
technology were $11.1 million as compared to $10.6 million in Fiscal 2009. Since a significant
portion of the Companys revenues is generated from the replacement market, the Company has the
opportunity to see trends in OEM sales, and while the growth in flat panel products is outpacing
growth in CRT products, the CRT market remains a quite viable market for its products. As trends
continue to become more defined, and replacement of these products occurs in five to seven years,
the Company foresees a bigger impact and utilization of flat panel products in its business. There
is competition in the area of flat panel technology and the Company will strive to rely on its
ability to adapt and incorporate designs into its future products so that it may compete in a
profitable manner. Currently, the flat panel market is made up of many competitors of various
sizes, none holding a dominant position in the flat panel marketplace.
Compared to domestic manufacturing prices on new CRTs, the Companys prices are competitive
due to lower manufacturing costs associated with recycling the glass portion of previously used
tubes, which the Company obtains at a fraction of the cost of new glass. The Company has to date
been able to maintain competitive pricing with respect to imported CRTs because, generally, the CRT
replacement market is characterized by customers requiring a variety of types of CRTs in quantities
not large enough to absorb the additional transportation costs incurred by foreign CRT
manufacturers.
The Company believes it has a competitive advantage and is the sole source in providing many
of its CRTs to the customer base of its Aydin and Lexel subsidiaries as these operations have been
providing reliable products and services to these customers for more than 30 years. Lexel
manufactures a broad range of CRT and direct view storage tube (DVST) solutions used in military,
industrial, and commercial applications, including Avionics, Projection, Medical and
general-purpose displays. Aydin offers a wide range of high performance imaging devices and high
resolution CRTs for medical, X-ray, infrared, military, and aerospace applications.
The Company is a wholesale distributor of original equipment CRTs purchased from other
manufacturers and produces its own CRTs at its Clinton manufacturing facility. The Company believes
it is the only company that offers complete service in replacement markets with its manufacturing
and recycling capabilities. The Companys ability to compete effectively in this market is
dependent upon its continued ability to respond promptly to customer orders and to offer
competitive pricing.
The Companys competition in the Wholesale Distribution Segment comes primarily from other
parts distributors. Many of these distributors are smaller than Fox International but a few are of
equal or greater revenue size. Prices for major manufacturers products can be directly affected by
the manufacturers suggested resale price. The Company believes that its service to customers and
warehousing and shipping network give it a competitive advantage. Fox International sells a wide
variety of electronic parts and accessories, including semiconductors, resistors, audio/video
parts, and batteries. In addition, Fox International operates a call center that serves as both a
consumer and dealer support center for household products, parts and accessories, as well as
serving as a technical support center for these products.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Forward looking statements and risk factors
All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report, including,
without limitation, those statements contained in Item 1, are statements that constitute
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 as
amended and Section 21E
7
Table of Contents
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The words expect, estimate,
anticipate, predict, believe and similar expressions and variations thereof are intended to
identify forward-looking statements. Such statements appear in a number of places in this report
and include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company, its
directors or its officers with respect to, among other things: (i) trends affecting the Companys
financial condition or results of operations; (ii) the Companys financing plans; (iii) the
Companys business and growth strategies, including potential acquisitions; and (iv) other plans
and objectives for future operations. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties and actual
results may differ materially from those predicted in the forward-looking statements or which may
be anticipated from historical results or trends.
Our Company operates in technology-based markets that involve a number of risks, some of which
are beyond our control. The following discussion highlights some risks and uncertainties that
investors should consider, in conjunction with all other information in this Annual Report on Form
10-K. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company may impair the
Companys business and operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, the Companys
business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations could be materially affected.
Our industry is highly competitive and competitive conditions may adversely affect our business.
Our success depends on our ability to compete in markets that are highly competitive, with
rapid technological advances and products that require constant improvement in both price and
performance. In most of our markets, we are experiencing increased competition, and we expect this
trend to continue. This environment may result in changes in relationships with customers or
vendors, the ability to develop new relationships, or the business failure of customers or vendors,
which may negatively affect our business. If our competitors are more successful than we are in
developing new technology and products, our business may be adversely affected.
Competitive pressures may increase or change through industry consolidation, entry of new
competitors, marketing changes or otherwise. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to continue to compete effectively with existing or potential competitors.
Competitors or third parties may infringe on our intellectual property.
The Company holds patents with respect to certain products and services. The Company also
sells products under various trademarks and trade names. Should competitors or third parties
infringe on these rights, costly legal processes may be required to defend our intellectual
property rights, which could adversely affect our business.
Migration to flat panel and other technology may negatively affect our CRT business.
The Company acquires CRT inventory when the replacement market appears to demonstrate adequate
future demand and the purchase price allows a reasonable profit for the risk. Due to the extended
time frame for the replacement market to develop (five to seven years), these purchased inventories
may not sell as quickly as other inventories. If the Company is unable to manage CRT inventory
levels in coordination with reduced future CRT demand due to the growth of flat panel
technology, the marketability of inventory on hand may be affected and the Company may incur
significant costs in the disposal of excess inventory.
The Company anticipates that flat panel and other technology products, due to their lower
space and power requirements, will eventually become the display of choice in many display
applications. In anticipation of long-term trends toward flat panel display usage, the Company has
focused its efforts and its acquisition strategy toward flat panel technologies. If the Company is
unable to replace any future declines in CRT sales with products based on other technologies, our
business may be adversely affected.

Table of Contents
Future acquisitions may not provide benefits to the Company.
The Companys growth strategy includes expansion through acquisitions. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to complete further acquisitions or that past or future
acquisitions will not have an adverse impact on the Companys operations.
Changes in government priorities may affect military spending, and our financial condition and
results of operations could suffer if their purchases decline.
We currently derive a significant portion of our net sales (26% in fiscal 2010) from direct
and indirect sales to the U.S. government. If we are unable to replace expiring contracts, which
are typically less then twelve months in duration, with contracts for new business, our sales could
decline, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations. We expect that direct and indirect sales to the U.S. government will
continue to account for a substantial portion of our sales in the foreseeable future. We have no
assurance that these government-related sales will continue to reach or exceed historical levels in
future periods.
If we are unable to retain certain key personnel and hire new highly skilled personnel, we may not
be able to execute our business plan.
Our future success depends on the skills, experience, and efforts of our senior managers. The
loss of services of any of these individuals, or our inability to attract and retain qualified
individuals for key management positions, could negatively affect our business.
Our business operations could be disrupted if our information technology systems fail to perform
adequately.
We depend upon our information technology systems in the conduct of our operations and
financial reporting. If our major information systems fail to perform as anticipated, we could
experience difficulties in maintaining normal business operations. Such systems related problems
could adversely affect product development, sales, and profitability.
Changes to accounting rules or regulations may adversely affect our results of operations.
New accounting rules or regulations and varying interpretations of existing accounting rules
or regulations have occurred and may occur in the future. Future changes to accounting rules or
regulations or the questioning of current accounting practices, may adversely affect our results of
operations.
The Companys stock price may be negatively affected by a variety of factors.
In addition to any impact the Companys operating performance, potential future Company sales
of common stock, the Companys dividend policies or possible anti-takeover measures available to
the Company may have, changes in securities markets caused by general foreign or domestic economic,
consumer or business trends, the impact of interest rate policies by the federal reserve board, and
other factors outside the Companys control may negatively affect our stock price.
Changes to estimates related to long-term assets, or operating results that are lower than our
current estimates, may cause us to incur impairment charges.
We make certain estimates and projections in connection with impairment analyses for goodwill
and other long-term assets in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangible Assets and FASB ASC
Topic 360 Property, Plant and Equipment. These calculations require us to make a number of
estimates and projections of long-term future results. If these estimates or projections change or
prove incorrect, we
9
Table of Contents
may be required to record impairment charges. If these impairment charges were
significant, our results of operations would be adversely affected.
International factors could negatively affect our business.
A significant portion of our net sales (11% in fiscal 2010) is made to foreign customers. We
are subject to the risks inherent in conducting our business across national boundaries, many of
which are outside of our control. These risks include the following:
| Economic downturns; | ||
| Currency exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations; | ||
| Changes in governmental policy, including, among others, those relating to taxation; | ||
| International military, political, diplomatic and terrorist incidents; | ||
| Government instability; | ||
| Nationalization of foreign assets; and | ||
| Tariffs and governmental trade policies. |
We cannot ensure that one or more of these factors will not negatively affect our
international customers and, as a result, our business and financial performance.
Our inability to refinance our debt could negatively affect the future of our business.

Our debt agreements contain covenants that limit our flexibility in operating our business.
The agreements governing our indebtedness contain various covenants that limit our ability to
engage in specified types of transactions, and which may adversely affect our ability to operate
our business. Among other things, these covenants limit our ability to:
| incur additional indebtedness; | ||
| make certain investments, loans or advances; | ||
| transfer and sell certain assets; | ||
| create or permit liens on assets; | ||
| consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; | ||

| pay dividends; and | ||
| cause, permit, or suffer a change in capital ownership. |
A breach of any of these covenants could result in default under our debt agreements, which
could prompt the lender to declare all amounts outstanding under the debt agreements to be
immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. If we were
unable to repay those amounts, the lender could proceed against the collateral granted to secure
that indebtedness. If the lender under the debt agreements accelerates the repayment of borrowings,
we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient assets and funds to repay the borrowings under
our debt agreements. See related comments under the caption Managements Discussion of Liquidity

in growing LCD display business.
During 2007,
the Company acquired the Cathode Ray Tube Manufacturing and
Distribution Business and certain assets of Clinton Electronics Corp.
(Clinton), including inventory and fixed
assets, for a total purchase price of $2,550,000, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement between the
parties (the APA). The form of consideration for the assets acquired included: (i) a $1.0 million face value
Convertible Note; (ii) an agreement to deliver a stock
certificate representing Company Common Shares having a $1,125,000 in market value of the Companys common stock in
January 2008; and (iii) an agreement to deliver a stock
certificate representing Company Common Shares having a $500,000 in market value of the
Companys common stock in January 2009. The Company has
paid the $1.0 million Note Payable. The Company is disputing
certain representations made by Clinton in
the APA including but not limited to representations concerning
revenue, expenses and inventory. As a result of this dispute, the
Company has not issued the stock certificates scheduled for delivery in January 2008 and January 2009.
As such, the Company has accrued a potential liability of $1,625,000
and this accrued liability is reflected in the Companys current
balance sheet.

Overview
The Company is a worldwide leader in the manufacture and distribution of a wide range of
display devices, encompassing, among others, industrial, military, medical, and simulation display
solutions. The Company is comprised of two segments (1) the manufacture and distribution of
displays and display components (Display Segment) and (2) the wholesale distribution of consumer
electronic parts from foreign and domestic manufacturers (Wholesale Distribution Segment). The
Display Segment is organized into four interrelated operations aggregated into one reportable
segment pursuant to the aggregation criteria of FASB ASC Topic 280 Segment Reporting:
| Monitors offers a wide range of CRT, flat panel and projection display systems for use in training and simulation, military, medical, and industrial applications. | ||
| Data Display CRTs offers a wide range of CRTs for use in data display screens, including computer terminal monitors and medical monitoring equipment. | ||
| Entertainment CRTs offers a wide range of CRTs and projection tubes for television and home theater equipment. | ||
| Component Parts provides replacement electron guns and other components for CRTs primarily for servicing the Companys internal needs. |
The wholesale distribution segment is made up of parts distribution for electronic parts
manufacturers and a call center for small appliance manufacturers.
During fiscal 2010, management of the Company focused key resources on strategic efforts to
dispose of unprofitable operations seek acquisition opportunities that enhance the profitability
and sales growth of the Companys more profitable product lines. In addition, the Company continues
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 needs to ensure adequate on hand supplies of inventory and to ensure against overstocking
of slower moving, obsolete items.
Certain of the Companys divisions maintain significant inventories of CRTs and component
parts in an effort to ensure its customers a reliable source of supply. The Companys inventory
turnover averages over 250 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 Companys competitors because 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 Companys business, the market for its products is characterized by 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 or 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. The Companys management monitors the adequacy of
its inventory reserves regularly, and at February 28, 2010, believes its reserves to be adequate.
Interest rate exposure The Company had outstanding debt of approximately $25 million and $24
million as of February 28, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which is subject to interest rate
fluctuations by the Companys lenders. Variable interest rates on the companys loans and the
potential for rate hikes could negatively affect the Companys future earnings. It is the intent of
the Company to continually
16
Table of Contents
monitor interest rates and consider converting portions of the Companys debt from floating rates
to fixed rates should conditions be favorable for such interest rate swaps or hedges.

Fiscal 2010 Compared to Fiscal 2009
Net Sales
Consolidated net sales decreased $2.5 million or 3.4% to $70.4 million for fiscal 2010,
compared to $72.9 million for fiscal 2009. Display Segment sales were flat at $50.1 million for
fiscal 2010, and for fiscal 2009. Wholesale Distribution Segment sales decreased 10.6% or $2.4
million from $22.8 million for fiscal 2009 to $20.4 million for fiscal 2010.
The Display Segment sales for fiscal 2010 had a general shift away from being a CRT company to
being a video display solutions company as the market for CRTs declines and moves to newer
technologies. The segments business is more concentrated in the monitor division of the segment
where all the new growth is occurring. The Monitor revenues increased $1.5 million primarily due to
contracts that began in the fourth quarter by the Aydin and Display Systems facilities offset by
Lexel and Z-Axis facilities, which saw a decline for the year. Data Display CRT sales in fiscal
2010 declined due to a decreased demand by the divisions smaller customers, sales with the larger
customers were flat. Entertainment CRT net sales declined $0.7 million in fiscal 2010 compared to
fiscal 2009. A significant portion of the entertainment divisions sales are to major television
retailers as replacements for products sold under manufacturer and extended warranties. Due to the
continued shift to flat screen televisions, the market for replacement CRTs has diminished. The
Company remains the primary supplier of product to meet manufacturers standard warranties. Future
sales 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, has reduced its inventory for
these types of CRTs.
Components Parts sales decreased by $0.1 million from fiscal 2009 to fiscal 2010. Component
Parts sales have generally declined in recent years due to weaker demand for electron gun and stem
sales. Component Parts 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. This
business will continue to decline as the television industry moves to the new technologies. The
division primarily supplies the other divisions with parts they need to complete the assembly of
their products.
Wholesale Distribution Segment net sales decline is attributed to a decline in the overall
economy, particularly the consumer market, and a decision by management to focus on more profitable
business, letting lower margin business go to competitors. The call centers sales declined about
$0.2 million due to fewer calls taken and therefore less billable time. The segments business is
expected to pick up as the economy improves and management secures new accounts with higher margins
to replace the lower margin business. The call center which acts as a consumer and dealer support
center for 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. The remainder of the decline was
in the segments dealer base, which suffered due to reduced consumer demand.
Gross Margins
Consolidated gross margins decreased to 33.8% for fiscal 2010 from 34.1% for fiscal 2009.
Display Segment margins decreased to 27.4% for fiscal 2010 from 29.5% for fiscal 2009. Gross
margins within the Monitor operation decreased to 27.5% for fiscal 2010 compared to 29.5% for
fiscal
2009. The decrease was due to an increase in material costs of 4 percentage points offset by a
savings of 2
18
Table of Contents
percentage points on the overhead expenses due to cost cutting measures. The margins
for the Monitor division are expected to improve as the divisions revenues increase and better
efficiencies are achieved within their operations. Data Display CRT gross margins increased to
30.3% for fiscal 2010 compared to 28.4% for fiscal 2009. This increase in margins is primarily a
result of product mix and increased pricing on smaller orders. Gross margins in Entertainment CRTs
decreased to (25.8%) for fiscal 2010 from 16.3% for fiscal 2009 due to the decrease in sales volume
of high margin products at the companys Louisiana facility and the decreased production at the
Chroma division. These margins will continue to decline as these operations are liquidated.
Gross margins from Component Parts decreased to 26.8% for fiscal 2010 from 46.5% for fiscal 2009
for its customers outside the Company, primarily reflecting the decrease in need of its products
outside the Company.
The Wholesale Distribution Segment gross margins increased to 49.5% for fiscal 2010 from 44.2%
for fiscal 2009, primarily due to customer and product mix. The segment targeted customers with
higher margins and the call center business, although it had a slight decrease in sales,
contributed to an improvement in the gross margins. The segment is continuing to focus on
profitable business and therefore expects to maintain its gross margins improvements.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 30.7% for fiscal 2010 from 33.3% for
fiscal 2009 primarily reflecting decreases in salaries, legal fees, research and development and
professional services. The Company under took a cost cutting program to align its costs with its
revenues. The Company expects to continue to control costs while growing its revenues in the
coming year.
Display Segment operating expenses decreased $1.6 million or 12.4% to $11.3 million for fiscal
2010 compared to $12.9 million in fiscal 2009. This decrease is primarily due to the expenses
mentioned above as all those reductions occurred in the Display Segment of the business.
Wholesale Distribution Segment operating expenses decreased $1.0 million or 9.2% to $10.3
million for fiscal 2010 compared to $11.3 million in fiscal 2009, primarily due to a decrease in
salaries. These expenses (primarily payroll) are classified in general and administrative expense
in the consolidated financial statements.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was flat at $1.1 million for fiscal 2010 compared to $1.1 million in fiscal
2009. The Company maintains various debt agreements with different interest rates, most of which
are based on the prime rate or LIBOR. The interest expense remained the same primarily reflected by
the same levels of borrowings at similar interest rates in effect during fiscal 2010 and fiscal
2009.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for fiscal 2010 was 34.2% compared to (361.7%) for fiscal 2009. The
higher effective rate in 2010 and lower effective rate in 2009 were primarily due to research and
experimentation credits and various other permanent items.
Foreign Currency Translation
Gains or losses resulting from the transactions with the Companys UK subsidiary were reported
in current operations while currency translation adjustments are recognized in a separate component
of shareholders equity. The Company closed its operation in the UK and wrote off the foreign
currency translation gain.

Managements Discussion of Liquidity and Capital Resources
At February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, the Company had total cash of $0.5 million and
$0.7 million, respectively. The Companys working capital was $21.8 and $36.4 million at February
28, 2010 and February 28, 2009. At February 28, 2010, the Companys $20.1 million in outstanding
lines of credit were classified as short-term debt as the bank agreement expires June 2010, as
discussed later in this section. In recent years, the Company has financed its growth and cash
needs primarily through income from operations, borrowings under revolving credit facilities,
borrowings from its CEO and long-term debt.
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
Companys products are components of larger display systems for which immediate availability is
critical for the customer. Accordingly, the Company enjoys higher gross margins, but typically has
larger investments in inventories than those of its competitors.
The Company continually monitors its cash and financing positions in order to find ways to
lower its interest costs and to produce positive operating cash flow. The Company examines
possibilities to grow its business through internal sales growth 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 provided by operations was $0.4 million in fiscal 2010 and $1.3 million in fiscal 2009.
During fiscal 2010, net working capital items decreased by $4.1 million due to an increase in
accounts receivable of $2.8 due to large billings on contracts at year-end and inventory of $2.7
due to gearing up for new contracts and a last time buy of CRTs of $2.2 million due to
manufacturers discontinuing the production of CRT inventories. These increases were offset by a
decrease in refundable income taxes of $1.7.
Investing activities used cash of $0.7 million and $1.3 million in fiscal 2010 and fiscal
2009, respectively. Capital expenditures exclusive of acquisitions were $0.4 million and $0.9
million in fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009, respectively. Capital expenditures in fiscal 2010 and 2009
were for general maintenance requirements and computer hardware. The Company does not anticipate
significant investments in capital assets for fiscal 2011 beyond normal maintenance requirements.
Financing activities used cash of $0.0 million and $0.8 million in fiscal 2010 and fiscal
2009, respectively. During fiscal 2010, the Company used cash for the repurchase of common stock of
$0.3, borrowed a net amount of $0.6 from related parties, and used cash for the net repayment of
debt of $0.3.
On September 26, 2008, the Company executed a Loan and Security Agreement with RBC Bank to
provide a $17 million line of credit to the Company and a $3.5 million line of credit to the
Companys subsidiary Fox International, Ltd. As of February 28, 2010, the outstanding balances of
these lines of
credit were $16.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The available amounts for borrowing
were $0.3 million and $0.0 million, respectively. These loans are secured by all assets, personal
property, and certain real property of the Company. The agreement contains covenants, including
requirements related
20
Table of Contents
to tangible cash flow, ratio of debt to cash flow, and asset 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 Companys
$17.0 million line of credit was extended to June 2010, and accordingly is classified under
short-term liabilities on the Companys balance sheet. The Companys subsidiary, Fox International,
Ltd. agreement expires in June 2010 and is classified in short term liabilities. The interest rate
on these loans is a floating LIBOR rate based on a fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined in the
loan documents. In conjunction with Loan and Security Agreement, the syndicate also executed a $1.7
million term note with the Company repayable in 32 monthly increments of $50,000 each through July
1, 2011, and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Company personally provided a $6.0 million
subordinated term note to the Company. The Companys CEO loaned the Company an additional $1.2
million during the fiscal year ending February 28, 2010 leaving the balance outstanding under this
loan agreement at approximately $2.8 million at February 28, 2010. See related information in Notes
7 and 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. These new lines of credit replaced the existing
lines of credit with a syndicate including RBC Centura Bank and Regions Bank, which were terminated
in conjunction with this agreement.
On May 24, 2010, the Company and the RBC Bank signed an amendment to the Loan and Security
Agreement that extended the $17 million line of credit and the Companys subsidiary Fox
Internationals $3.5 million line of credit to September 30, 2010.
The Company is in negotiations with RBC Bank for a new senior secured credit facility. The
bank has indicated its intentions to renew with Video Display Company and is interviewing for a
partner to syndicate the loans. The $21.5 million facility is expected to have three parts, a $15.5
million LOC, a $3.0 million equipment term loan for 5 years, and a $3.0 million real estate term
loan for 10 years. The LOC is for a period of 35 months. The initial pricing is Libor +300 bps,
with a minimum interest rate of 4% and will be adjusted quarterly based on a quarterly fixed charge
cover ratio test with the minimum of 4% in effect. However, the Company is also talking with other financial institutions in the unlikely event it
cannot secure new financing with RBC Bank.
If the Company is unable to refinance its debt with RBC or another financial institution, the
bank could exercise its rights against the collateral granted under the terms of the loan
agreement. The Company cannot guarantee it will have sufficient assets and funds to repay the
borrowings under the debt agreements if this occurs. Management believes it will be successful in
its negotiations with the lenders in securing a new loan agreement; however, there can be no
assurance an agreement can be reached.
The Company has a stock repurchase program, pursuant to which it was originally authorized to
repurchase up to 1,632,500 shares of the Companys common stock in the open market. On July 8,
2009, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a one time continuation of the stock
repurchase program, and authorized the Company to repurchase up to 1,000,000 additional shares of
the Companys common stock, depending on the market price of the shares. There is no minimum number
of shares required to be repurchased under the program. During the fiscal year ended February 28,
2010, the Company repurchased 229,037 shares at an average price of $1.50 per share, which have
been added to treasury shares on the consolidated balance sheet. Under this program, an additional
816,418 shares remain authorized to be repurchased by the Company at February 28, 2010. As
discussed in Note 7, the Loan and Security Agreement executed by Company on June 29, 2006 included
restrictions on investments that restricted further repurchases of stock under this program. The
participating banks granted an exception to these restrictions, allowing the Company to purchase
unlimited shares providing the company meets the covenants in the loan agreement. Under an
amendment to the credit agreement signed on August 25, 2009, repurchases are subject to prior
written bank approval.
Transactions with Related Parties, Contractual Obligations, and Commitments
In conjunction with an agreement involving re-financing of the Companys lines of credit and
Loan and Security Agreement, on June 29, 2006, the Companys CEO provided a $6.0 million
subordinated term note to the Company with monthly principal payments of $33,333 plus interest
through
21
Table of Contents
July 2021. 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
RBC Bank. The Companys CEO loaned the Company an additional $1.2 million during the fiscal year
ending February 28, 2010 leaving the balance outstanding under this loan agreement at approximately
$2.8 million at February 28, 2010.
The Company has a demand note outstanding from another officer, bearing interest at 8 percent.
Principal payments of $73,000 and $63,000 were made on this note in fiscal 2010 and 2009,
respectively, there were no additional advances on this note during fiscal 2010 or 2009. The
balance outstanding on this note is $116,000 at February 28, 2010.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Except for operating leases, the Company historically has not relied upon off-balance sheet
arrangements, transactions or relationships that would materially affect liquidity or the
availability of, or requirements for, capital resources.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are
based upon the Companys consolidated financial statements. These consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and related notes. The accounting
policies that may involve a higher degree of judgments, estimates, and complexity include reserves
on inventories, the allowance for bad debts, contract revenue recognition as well as profitability
or loss recognition estimates 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 Companys investment in inventories for
declines in value and establishes reserves when it is apparent that the expected net realizable
value of the inventory
22
Table of Contents
falls below its carrying amount. Management attempts to determine by
historical usage analysis and interchangeability of CRT types along with repair contracts currently
maintained by its customers, as well as numerous other market factors, the projected demand for
CRTs in this estimate of net realizable value. 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 Companys 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 Companys existing inventories. There have been no
significant changes in managements estimates in fiscal 2010 and 2009; however, the Company cannot
guarantee the accuracy of future forecasts since these estimates are subject to change based on
market conditions.
The reserve for inventory obsolescence was approximately $4.7 million and $3.6 million at
February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, respectively. During fiscal 2009, the Company wrote down
inventories of $1.2 million to market that had previously been reserved and disposed of $1.1
million of inventory at its Aydin subsidiary that previously had been reserved.
Revenue and profit or loss recognition
Revenues are recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has
occurred, the price has been fixed or is determinable and collect-ability can be reasonably
assured. The Companys delivery term typically is F.O.B. shipping point.
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605-45 Revenue Recognition: Principal Agent
Considerations, shipping and handling fees billed to customers are classified in net sales in the
consolidated statements of operations. Shipping and handling costs incurred for the delivery of
product to customers are classified in selling and delivery in the consolidated statements of
operations.
A portion of the Companys revenue is derived from contracts to manufacture display systems to
a buyers specification. These contracts are accounted for under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic
605-35 Revenue Recognition: Construction-Type and 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 and one agreement that uses the net revenue basis as prescribed by
FASB ASC Topic 605-45 Revenue Recognition: Principal Agent Considerations. The Company uses the
gross method because the Company has general inventory risk, physical loss inventory risk and
credit risk on the majority of its agreements but uses the net method on the one agreement because
it does not have those same risks for that agreement. 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 payment history and
23
Table of Contents
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 Companys 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.
Warranty reserves
The warranty reserve is determined by recording a specific reserve for known warranty issues
and a reserve based on 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 feels that historically
its procedures have been adequate and does not anticipate that its assumptions are reasonably
likely to change in the future.
Other loss contingencies
Other loss contingencies are recorded as liabilities when it is probable that a liability has
been incurred and the amount of the loss can reasonably be estimated. 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance effective
for financial statements issued for periods ending after September 15, 2009. The FASB Accounting
Standards Codification (FASB ASC) establishes the source of authoritative accounting standards
generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by
nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC
registrants. On the effective date, the FASB ASC superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting
and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in
the ASC became non-authoritative. Our adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on
our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued revised guidance to improve financial reporting by enterprises
involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information to
users of financial statements. These revisions to FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, are
effective as of the beginning of each reporting entitys first annual reporting period that begins
after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for
interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. We do not
expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued revised guidance for recognizing and measuring pre-acquisition
contingencies in a business combination. These revisions, which are a part of FASB ASC Topic 805,
Business Combinations, address application issues raised by preparers, auditors, and members of
the legal profession on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting,
and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. This
guidance is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations
for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. This guidance did not have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
24
Table of Contents
In April 2008, the FASB issued revised guidance for the factors that should be considered in
developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset. These revisions to FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangible Assets, are intended to
improve the consistency between the useful life of recognized intangible assets and the period of
expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the intangible asset. This guidance is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. This guidance did not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued revised guidance for the accounting of business
combinations. These revisions to FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, require that the
acquisition method of accounting (previously the purchase method) be used for all business
combinations and that an acquirer be identified for each business combination. This guidance also
establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its
financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any
noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the
business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and c) determines what information to
disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects
of the business combination. The guidance will apply prospectively to business combinations for
which the acquisition date is on or after March 1, 2009. We will be required to expense costs
related to any acquisitions after February 28, 2009.
In December 2009, the FASB issued revised guidance FASB ASC 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic
810) Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest
Entities, which codifies FASB Statement No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). FASB
ASC 2009-17 represents a revision to former FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003),
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, to require an enterprise to qualitatively assess the
determination of the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (VIE) based on whether the
entity (1) has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the
entitys economic performance and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the
right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In
addition, FASB ASC 2009-17 requires an ongoing reconsideration of the primary beneficiary, and
amends the events that trigger a reassessment of whether an entity is a VIE. Enhanced disclosures
are also required to provide information about an enterprises involvement in a VIE. FASB ASC
2009-17 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after November 15, 2009. This
guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued revised guidance FASB ASC 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures Overall Subtopic (Subtopic 820-10) to improve disclosure requirements for Fair
Value Measurements. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective
for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the
disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in
Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance did not have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued revised guidance FASB ASC 2010-09, Subsequent Events
(Topic 855) to amend Subtopic 855-10. Among the provisions of the amendments is the removal for
public companies of the requirement to disclose the date through which subsequent events were
evaluated. All of the amendments in this Update are effective upon issuance of the final Update for
most filers.
Impact of Inflation
Inflation has not had a material effect on the Companys results of operations to date.

Table of Contents
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Companys primary market risks include fluctuations in interest rates and variability in
interest rate spread relationships, such as prime to LIBOR spreads. Approximately $24.2 million of
outstanding debt at February 28, 2010 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 Companys 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 $242,000 in pre-tax income
assuming no further changes in the amount of borrowings subject to variable rate interest from
amounts outstanding at February 28, 2010. The Company does not trade in derivative financial
instruments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors
Video Display Corporation
Video Display Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Video Display Corporation and
subsidiaries (the Company) as of February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders equity and comprehensive income, and cash
flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of
the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Video Display Corporation and subsidiaries as of
February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows
for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is in negotiations with its bank
for a new senior credit facility. The Companys present credit facility, which was to expire on
June 30, 2010, has been extended by the bank through September 30, 2010.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Fiscal Year
All references herein to 2010 and 2009 mean the fiscal years ended February 28, 2010 and
February 28, 2009 respectively.
Nature of Business
Video Display Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) is a world-class provider and
manufacturer of video products, components, and systems for data display and presentation of
electronic information media in all requirements and environments. The Company designs, engineers,
manufactures, markets, distributes and installs technologically advanced display products and
systems, from basic components to turnkey systems for government, military, aerospace, medical and
commercial organizations. The Company also acts as a wholesale distributor of electronic parts and
CRTs purchased from domestic and foreign manufacturers. In addition, the Company operates a call
center that acts as a consumer and dealer support center for 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. The Companys operations are located in the U.S.; however, the Company did have
a subsidiary operation located in the United Kingdom that closed in October 2008.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries
after elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions.
Basis of Accounting
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance effective
for financial statements issued for periods ending after September 15, 2009. The FASB Accounting
Standards Codification (FASB ASC) establishes the source of authoritative accounting standards
generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by
nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC
registrants. On the effective date, the FASB ASC superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting
and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in
the ASC became non-authoritative. Our adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on
our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Examples include provisions
for returns, bad debts, inventory reserves, valuations on deferred income tax assets, goodwill, and
other intangible assets, accounting for percentage of completion contracts and the length of
product life cycles and fixed asset lives. Actual results could vary from these estimates.

Banking and Liquidity
On May 24, 2010, the Company and the RBC Bank signed an amendment to the Loan and Security
Agreement that extended the $17 million line of credit and the Companys subsidiary Fox
Internationals $3.5 million line of credit to September 30, 2010. The original agreement dated
September 26, 2008 was due to expire on June 30, 2010.
The Company is in negotiations with RBC Bank for a new senior secured credit facility. The
bank has indicated its intentions to renew with Video Display Corporation and is interviewing for a
partner to syndicate the loans. The $21.5 million facility is expected to have three parts, a $15.5
million LOC, a $3.0 million equipment term loan for 5 years, and a $3.0 million real estate term
loan for 10 years. The LOC is for a period of 35 months. The initial pricing is Libor +300 bps,
with a minimum interest rate of 4% and will be adjusted quarterly based on a quarterly fixed charge
cover ratio test with the minimum of 4% in effect.
If the Company is unable to refinance its debt with RBC or another financial institution, the
bank could exercise its rights against the collateral granted under the terms of the loan
agreement. The Company cannot guarantee it will have sufficient assets and funds to repay the
borrowings under the debt agreements if this occurs. Management believes it will be successful in
its negotiations with the lenders in securing a new loan agreement; however, there can be no
assurance an agreement can be reached
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has
occurred, the price has been fixed or is determinable and collect-ability can be reasonably
assured. The Companys delivery term typically is F.O.B. shipping point. The Company offers
one-year and two-year limited warranties on certain products. The Company records, under the
provisions of FASB ASC Topic 460-10-25 Guarantees: Recognition, a liability for estimated
warranty obligations at the date products are sold. Adjustments are made as new information becomes
available.
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605-45 Revenue Recognition: Principal Agent
Considerations, 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. Shipping costs of $1.6 million
and $1.9 million were included in the fiscal years ended 2010 and 2009, respectively.
A portion of the Companys revenue is derived from contracts to manufacture video displays to
a buyers specification. These contracts are accounted for under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic
605-35 Revenue Recognition: Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. The Company
utilizes the percentage of completion method as contemplated by this SOP to recognize revenue on
all contracts to design, develop, manufacture, or modify complex electronic equipment to a buyers
specification. Percentage of completion is measured using the ratio of costs incurred to estimated
total costs at completion. Any losses identified on contracts are recognized immediately.
The Wholesale Distribution Segment has several distribution agreements that it accounts for
using the gross revenue basis and one agreement which uses the net revenue basis as prescribed by
FASB ASC Topic 605-45 Revenue Recognition: Principal Agent Considerations. The Company uses the
gross method because the Company has general inventory risk, physical loss inventory risk and
credit risk on the majority of its agreements but uses the net method on the one agreement because
it does not have those same risks for that agreement. 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.

Table of Contents
Research and Development
The Company includes research and development expenditures in the consolidated financial
statements as a part of general and administrative expenses. Research and development costs were
approximately $1.0 million and $1.3 million in the fiscal years ended 2010 and 2009 respectively.
Financial Instruments
Fair values of cash, accounts receivable, short-term liabilities, and debt approximate cost
due to the short period of time to maturity. Recorded amounts of long-term debt and convertible
debentures are considered to approximate fair value due to either rates that fluctuate with the
market or are otherwise commensurate with the current market.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company sells
its products primarily to general contractors, government agencies, manufacturers, and consumers of
video displays and CRTs in the display segment and consumers of electronic products in the
wholesale segment. Management performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers financial
condition and although the Company generally does not require collateral, letters of credit may be
required from its customers in certain circumstances, such as foreign sales. The allowance for
doubtful accounts 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 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 doubtful accounts on a
regular basis. Historically, the Companys allowance has been sufficient for any customer
write-offs. Management believes accounts receivable are stated at amounts expected to be collected.
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.
Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of flat panel displays, CRTs, electron guns, monitors, and
electronic parts. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (primarily first-in, first-out) or
market.
Reserves on inventories result in a charge to operations when the estimated net realizable
value declines below cost. Management regularly reviews the Companys 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 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 Companys 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 Companys existing inventories. There have been no
significant changes in managements estimates in fiscal 2010 and 2009; however, the Company cannot
guarantee the accuracy of future forecasts since these estimates are subject to change based on
market conditions.
35
Table of Contents
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed principally by the
straight-line method for financial reporting purposes over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings ten to twenty-five years; Machinery and Equipment five to ten years. Depreciation
expense totaled approximately $1.5 million and $1.5 million for the fiscal years ended 2010 and
2009 respectively. Substantial betterments to property, plant, and equipment are capitalized and
routine repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Management reviews and assesses long-lived assets, which includes property, plant, and
equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, management
estimates the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the sum of the
undiscounted expected cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss
is recognized based upon the estimated fair value of the asset.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles
Goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets are tested for impairment annually unless
events or circumstances exist that would require an assessment in the interim. The Company, in
order to estimate the fair value of goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets estimate future
revenue, considers market factors, and estimates our future cash flows. Based on these key
assumptions, judgments and estimates, we determine whether we need to record an impairment charge
to reduce the value of the assets carried on our balance sheet to their estimated fair value.
Assumptions, judgments, and estimates about future values are complex and often subjective. They
can be affected by a variety of factors, including external factors such as industry and economic
trends and internal factors such as changes in our business strategy or our forecast. Although we
believe the assumptions, judgments and estimates we have made are reasonable and appropriate,
different assumptions, judgments and estimates could materially affect our reported financial
results. As a result of such testing in February 2010 and 2009, the Company determined there was no
impairment of goodwill.
Amortizable intangible assets consist primarily of customer lists and non-competition
agreements related to acquisitions. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method
over their estimated period of benefit. The Company identifies and records impairment losses on
intangible assets when events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. No
impairment of intangible assets has been identified during any of the periods presented.
Stock-Based Compensation Plans
The Company accounts for employee share-based compensation under the fair value method and
uses an option pricing model for estimating the fair value of stock options at the date of grant as
required by FASB ASC Topic 718-10-30, Compensation Stock Compensation: Initial Measurement.
For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, the Company recognized general
and administrative expense of $45,904 and $20,000 related to share-based compensation. The
liability for the share-based compensation recognized is presented in the consolidated balance
sheet as part of additional paid in capital. As of February 28, 2010, total unrecognized
compensation costs related to stock options and shares of restricted stock granted was $82,482. The
unrecognized share based compensation cost is expected to be recognized ratably over a period of
approximately 3 years.
36
Table of Contents
Comprehensive Income
FASB ASC Topic 220 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. Total comprehensive income was
approximately $1.0 million and $0.1 million in the fiscal years ended 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Stock Repurchase Program
The Company has a stock repurchase program, pursuant to which it was originally authorized to
repurchase up to 1,632,500 shares of the Companys common stock in the open market. On July 8, 2009
the Board of Directors of the Company approved a one time continuation of the stock repurchase
program, and authorized the Company to repurchase up to 1,000,000 additional shares of the
Companys common stock, depending on the market price of the shares. There is no minimum number of
shares required to be repurchased under the program. During the fiscal year ended February 28,
2010, the Company repurchased 229,037 shares at an average price of $1.50 per share, which have
been added to treasury shares on the consolidated balance sheet. Under the Companys stock
repurchase program, an additional 816,418 shares remain authorized to be repurchased by the Company
at February 28, 2010. The Loan and Security Agreement executed by the Company on September 26, 2008
included restrictions on investments that restricted further repurchases of stock under this
program. Under the amendment to the credit agreement signed on August 25, 2009, repurchases are
subject to prior written bank approval.
Taxes on Income
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method prescribed in FASB
ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the
Companys financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company
generally considers all expected future events other than possible enactments of changes in the tax
laws or rates. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company has adopted the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 740-10-25-6, Income Tax: Basic
Recognition Threshold which prescribes the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized
in the Companies consolidated financial statements. This guidance requires that a position taken
or expected to be taken in a tax return be recognized in the financial statements when it is more
likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be
sustained upon examination by tax authorities. A recognized tax position is then measured at the
largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate
settlement. Upon adoption, the Company did not have any material unrecognized tax benefits. As of
February 28, 2010, the Company does not have any material unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as
components of interest expense and other expense, respectively, in arriving at pretax income. The
Company did not have any interest and penalties accrued upon the adoption of FASB ASC Topic
740-10-25 and, as of February 28, 2010, the Company does not have any interest and penalties
accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits.
An examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) was concluded during the Companys
fiscal year ending February 28, 2009 for the fiscal years of 2007 and 2008. The result of the audit
was an adjustment of approximately $115,000 for differences in the valuation of the inventory,
approximately $42,000 related to transfer pricing adjustments and approximately $23,000 of
interest. The Companys tax year ended February 28, 2009 remains open to examination.

Table of Contents
Foreign Currency Translations
Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated using the exchange rate in
effect at the end of the year. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average of the
exchange rates in effect during the year. Translation adjustments and transaction gains and losses
related to long-term inter-company transactions are accumulated as a separate component of
shareholders equity. The Company had a subsidiary in the United Kingdom, which was not material,
and used the British pound as its functional currency. The Company closed its operation in the UK
and wrote off the foreign currency translation gain during 2010.
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 year. Shares issued or
repurchased during the year are weighted for the portion of the year 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 that were outstanding during
the period.
The following is a reconciliation of basic earnings per share to diluted earnings per share
for 2010 and 2009, (in thousands, except for per share data)

Segment Reporting
The Company applies FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting to report information about
operating segments in annual and interim financial reports. An operating segment is defined as a
component that engages in business activities, whose operating results are reviewed by the chief
operating decision maker in order to make decisions about allocating resources, and for which
discrete financial information is available (see Note 12. Segment Reporting).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance effective
for financial statements issued for periods ending after September 15, 2009. The FASB Accounting
Standards Codification (FASB ASC) establishes the source of authoritative accounting standards
generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by
nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) under authority of federal
38
Table of Contents
securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective
date, the FASB ASC superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other
non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the ASC became non-authoritative.
Our adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated
financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued revised guidance to improve financial reporting by enterprises
involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information to
users of financial statements. These revisions to FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, are
effective as of the beginning of each reporting entitys first annual reporting period that begins
after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for
interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. We do not
expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued revised guidance for recognizing and measuring pre-acquisition
contingencies in a business combination. These revisions, which are a part of FASB ASC Topic 805,
Business Combinations, address application issues raised by preparers, auditors, and members of
the legal profession on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting,
and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. This
guidance is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations
for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. This guidance did not have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued revised guidance for the factors that should be considered in
developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset. These revisions to FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangible Assets, are intended to
improve the consistency between the useful life of recognized intangible assets and the period of
expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the intangible asset. This guidance is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. This guidance did not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued revised guidance for the accounting of business
combinations. These revisions to FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, require that the
acquisition method of accounting (previously the purchase method) be used for all business
combinations and that an acquirer be identified for each business combination. This guidance also
establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its
financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any
noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the
business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and c) determines what information to
disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects
of the business combination. The guidance will apply prospectively to business combinations for
which the acquisition date is on or after March 1, 2009. We will be required to expense costs
related to any acquisitions after February 28, 2009.
In December 2009, the FASB issued revised guidance FASB ASC 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic
810) Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest
Entities, which codifies FASB Statement No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). FASB
ASC 2009-17 represents a revision to former FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003),
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, to require an enterprise to qualitatively assess the
determination of the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (VIE) based on whether the
entity (1) has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the
entitys economic performance and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the
right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In
addition, FASB ASC 2009-17 requires an ongoing reconsideration of the primary beneficiary, and
amends the events that trigger a reassessment of whether an entity is a VIE. Enhanced disclosures
are also required to provide information about an enterprises involvement in a VIE. FASB ASC
2009-17 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after November 15, 2009. This
guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
39
Table of Contents
In January 2010, the FASB issued revised guidance FASB ASC 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures Overall Subtopic (Subtopic 820-10) to improve disclosure requirements for Fair
Value Measurements. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective
for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the
disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in
Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance did not have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued revised guidance FASB ASC 2010-09, Subsequent Events
(Topic 855) to amend Subtopic 855-10. Among the provisions of the amendments is the removal for
public companies of the requirement to disclose the date through which subsequent events were
evaluated. All of the amendments in this Update are effective upon issuance of the final Update for
most filers.

(880 | ) | (108 | ) | ||||
$ | 3,209 | $ | 1,313 | |||||
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 FASB ASC
Topic 605-35, Revenue Recognition: Construction-Type and 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 contains 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 fiscal 2010 was to decrease net earnings by approximately
$0.1 million pre-tax and $0.07 million after tax below the amounts that would have been reported
had the preceding year contract profitability estimates been used. The effect of changes in the
estimated profitability of contracts for fiscal 2009 was to increase net earnings by approximately
$0.2 million pre-tax and $0.1 million after tax above

the amounts that would have been reported had the preceding year contract profitability
estimates been used.
As of February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, there were no production costs that 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 February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, there were no progress payments
that had been netted against inventory.
Note 3. Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist primarily of the unamortized value of purchased patents/designs,
customer lists, non-compete agreements and miscellaneous other intangible assets. Intangible assets
are amortized over the period of their expected lives, generally ranging from five to 15 years.
Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $740,000 and $883,000 for fiscal 2010 and
2009 respectively. As of February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, the cost and accumulated
amortization of intangible assets was as follows (in thousands):

Note 7. Lines of Credit
On September 26, 2008, the Company executed a Loan and Security Agreement with RBC Bank
to provide a $17 million line of credit to the Company and a $3.5 million line of credit to the
Companys subsidiary Fox International, Ltd. As of February 28, 2010, the outstanding balances of
these lines of credit were $16.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The available amounts for
borrowing were $0.3 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 asset 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 $17 million line of credit was
extended to June 2010, and accordingly is classified under short-term liabilities on the Companys
balance sheet. The Companys subsidiary, Fox International, Ltd agreement expires in June 2010 and
is classified in short term liabilities. The interest rate on these loans is a floating LIBOR rate
based on a fixed charge coverage ratio, minimum 4.0%, as defined in the loan documents. In
conjunction with Loan and Security Agreement, the syndicate also executed a $1.7 million term note
with the Company repayable in 32 monthly increments of $50,000 each through July 1, 2011, and the
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Company personally provided a $6.0 million subordinated term
note to the Company. See related information in Note 8 below. These new lines of credit replaced
the existing lines of credit outstanding with a syndicate including RBC Bank and Regions Bank,
which were terminated in conjunction with this agreement.
On February 26, 2010, the Company and the RBC Bank signed an amendment to the Loan and
Security Agreement that extended the Fox International Line of Credit to June 30, 2010 and
eliminated the asset cover ratio covenant for the quarter ending February 28, 2010.
On May 24, 2010, the Company and the RBC Bank signed an amendment to the Loan and Security
Agreement that extended the $17 million line of credit and the Companys subsidiary Fox
Internationals $3.5 million line of credit to September 30, 2010.
The Company is in negotiations with RBC Bank for a new senior secured credit facility. The
bank has indicated its intentions to renew with Video Display Corporation and is interviewing for a
partner to syndicate the loans. The $21.5 million facility is expected to have three parts, a $15.5
million LOC, a $3.0 million equipment term loan for 5 years, and a $3.0 million real estate term
loan for 10 years. The LOC is for a period of 35 months. The initial pricing is Libor +300 bps,
with a minimum interest rate of 4% and will be adjusted quarterly based on a quarterly fixed charge
cover ratio test with the minimum of 4% in effect. However, the Company is also talking with other financial institutions in the unlikely event it
cannot secure new financing with RBC Bank.
If the Company is unable to refinance its debt with RBC or another financial institution, the
bank could exercise its rights against the collateral granted under the terms of the loan
agreement. The Company cannot guarantee it will have sufficient assets and funds to repay the
borrowings under the debt agreements if this occurs. Management believes it will be successful in
its negotiations with the lenders in securing a new loan agreement; however, there can be no
assurance an agreement can be reached
Note 8. Notes Payable to Officers and Directors
In conjunction with an agreement involving re-financing of the Companys lines of credit and
Loan and Security Agreement, on June 29, 2006 the Companys CEO provided a $6.0 million
subordinated term note to the Company with monthly principal payments of $33,333 plus interest
through July 2021. The interest rate on this note is equal to the prime rate plus one percent.
Interest payments of $197,000 and $167,000 were paid on this note in fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009,
respectively. The note is secured by a general lien on all assets of the Company, subordinate to
the lien held by the syndicate of RBC Bank. The Companys CEO loaned the Company an additional $1.2
million during the fiscal year ending February 28, 2010 leaving the balance outstanding under this
loan agreement at approximately $2.8 million at February 28, 2010.

Table of Contents
The Company has a demand note outstanding from another officer, bearing interest at 8%.
Principal payments of $73,000 and $63,000 were made on these notes in fiscal 2010 and 2009,
respectively. Interest payments of $17,000 and $19,000 were paid on this note in fiscal 2010 and
fiscal 2009, respectively. The balance outstanding on this note is approximately $116,000 at
February 28, 2010.

Note 10. Stock Options
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 Companys 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
44
Table of Contents
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; 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 Companys common stock. The Company calculates the historic volatility based on
the weekly stock closing price, adjusted for dividends
45
Table of Contents
and stock splits. The fair value of the
stock options is based on the stock price at the time the option is granted, the annualized
volatility of the stock and the discount rate at the grant date.
On September 1, 2006, the Company granted 10,000 restricted common stock shares to certain
management employees at fair value on the date of grant, $8.12 per share. Total compensation cost
associated with the grant, $81,000 will be recognized over the twenty-one month vesting period, at
which time the restrictions on the shares will terminate. No forfeitures are expected in relation
to this grant due to the limited term of vesting.

The effective tax rate for fiscal 2010 was 34.2% compared to (361.7%) for fiscal 2009. The
higher effective rate in 2010 and lower effective rate in 2009 were primarily due to research and
experimentation credits and various other permanent items.
Deferred income taxes as of February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009 reflect the net tax
effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and certain tax loss
carry forwards.

Investment loss carry forwards in the amount of $108,000 expired in 2009. The Company provided
a valuation allowance on these loss carry forwards, as full realization of these assets was not
considered likely.
Undistributed earnings of the Companys foreign subsidiary have been considered to be
indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has
been provided thereon. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise,
the Company would be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax
credits) and withholding taxes payable to the foreign country. The Company has decided to close the
foreign subsidiary and has determined the tax liability to be immaterial.

Note 12. Segment Information
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, the Company has determined that it
has two reportable segments. The two reportable segments are as follows: (1) the manufacture and
distribution of displays and display components (Display Segment) and (2) the wholesale
distribution of consumer electronic parts from foreign and domestic manufacturers (Wholesale
Distribution Segment). The operations within the Display Segment consist of monitors, data display
CRTs, entertainment (television and projection) CRTs, projectors and other monitors and component
parts. These operations have similar economic criteria, and are appropriately aggregated consistent
with the criteria of FASB ASC Topic 280-10-50, Segment Reporting: Disclosure. The Companys call
center is an integral part of the distribution of electronic consumer parts, consumer and dealer
support and technical support functions, with call activity for all of these functions being routed
to call employees cross-trained to provide appropriate service. Accordingly, the call center is
included within the Wholesale Distribution segment.
Sales to foreign customers were 11% and 13% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2010 and
2009, respectively. Foreign operations are included in the Display Segment.
The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in Note 1,
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Segment amounts disclosed reflect elimination entries
made in consolidation. The chief operating decision maker evaluates performance of the segments
based on operating income. Costs excluded from this profit measure primarily consist of interest
expense and income taxes.
The following table sets forth net sales, income before income taxes, depreciation and

ordinary course of business.
Legal Proceedings
On June 4, 2009, the Company announced that its Aydin Displays, Inc., subsidiary had entered
into a License Agreement with BARCO Federal Systems, LLC, and BARCO N.V. a Belgian corporation. The
License Agreement resolves all active litigation filed and currently pending between the companies
in the U.S. District Court of North Georgia. As part of the Agreement, BARCO issued a non-exclusive

agreement, Aydin is currently the only company worldwide licensed by BARCO for utilization of
BARCOs FC in advanced LCD displays.
Through this agreement, the Company is able to provide continued uninterrupted sales and
support of LCD displays utilizing FC technology to existing and potential customer base. The
Company looks on this agreement as mutually beneficial to both BARCO and Aydin in growing LCD
display business.
During 2007,

(Clinton), including inventory and fixed
assets, for a total purchase price of $2,550,000, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement between the
parties (the APA). The form of consideration for the assets acquired included: (i) a $1.0 million face value
Convertible Note; (ii) an agreement to deliver a stock
certificate representing Company Common Shares having a $1,125,000 in market value of the Companys common stock in
January 2008; and (iii) an agreement to deliver a stock
certificate representing Company Common Shares having a $500,000 in market value of the
Companys common stock in January 2009. The Company has
paid the $1.0 million Note Payable. The Company is disputing
certain representations made by Clinton in
the APA including but not limited to representations concerning
revenue, expenses and inventory. As a result of this dispute, the
Company has not issued the stock certificates scheduled for delivery in January 2008 and January 2009.
As such, the Company has accrued a potential liability of $1,625,000
and this accrued liability is reflected in the Companys current
balance sheet.
Pursuant
to the terms of the APA, the Company and Clinton have agreed to
mediate the dispute in Atlanta, Georgia during the Companys second quarter. If mediation does not
resolve the dispute, the APA provides for arbitration. Based on information currently available,
the ultimate outcome of these disputed matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on
the Companys business, financial condition or results of
operations. However, the ultimate outcome cannot
be predicted with certainty, and there can
be no assurance that the Companys failure to prevail would not have a material adverse effect on
the Companys business, financial condition or results of operations.
Note 15. Concentrations of Risk and Major Customers
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk,
consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. At times, such cash in banks are in excess of
the FDIC insurance limit.
The Company sells to a variety of domestic and international customers on an open-unsecured
account basis, in certain cases requiring letters of credit. These customers principally operate in
the medical, military, and avionics industries. The Companys Display Segment had direct and
indirect net sales to the U.S. government, primarily the Department of Defense for training and
simulation programs, which comprised approximately 37% and 40% of Display Segment net sales and 26%
and 27% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively. Sales to foreign customers
were 11% and 13% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Companys
Wholesale Distribution Segment, Fox International, had net sales to two customers that comprised
approximately 34% and 30% of that subsidiarys net sales in fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively. The
Company attempts
51
Table of Contents
to minimize credit risk by reviewing all customers credit history before
extending credit, by monitoring customers credit exposure on a daily basis and requiring letters
of credit for certain sales. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon
factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.

Item 9A (T). Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such
term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, as of the end of the period covered by this report (February 28,2010). Our disclosure
controls and procedures are intended to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in
the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commissions rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as the principal executive and financial
officers, respectively, to allow final decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on their
evaluation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of February 28, 2010, the CEO and
CFO have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
The required certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and our
acting Chief Financial Officer are included as exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The
disclosures set forth in this Item 9A contain information concerning the evaluation of our
disclosure controls and procedures, internal control over financial reporting and changes to
internal control referred to in those certifications. Those certifications should be read in
conjunction with this Item 9A for a more complete understanding of the matters covered by the
certifications.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public
accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not
subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only
managements report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have not been any other changes in 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
year to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. A companys internal control over financial reporting
is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A
53
Table of Contents
companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the assets of
the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance
with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition
of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
system will be met. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods
are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2010. In making this
assessment, management used the criteria set forth in the framework established by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) entitled Internal Control- Integrated
Framework. Based on such assessment, our management concluded that as of February 28, 2010 our
internal control over financial reporting was effective.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public
accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not
subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only
managements report in this annual report.
Limitations on the effectiveness of controls.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not
expect that internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures
will prevent all errors and potential fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and
operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control
system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are
resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide
absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Video Display
Corporation have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in
decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes.
Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of
two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls
is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can
be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent
limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and
not be detected.
