Note 1. — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries after elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions.

As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or “Commission”) instructions to Form 10-Q, the following footnotes have been condensed and, therefore, do not contain all disclosures required in connection with annual consolidated financial statements. Reference should be made to the Company’s year-end consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, including a description of the accounting policies followed by the Company, contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011, as filed with the Commission. There are no material changes in accounting policy during the six months ended August 31, 2011.

The financial information included in this report has been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, the financial information included in this report contains all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. Nevertheless, the results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The February 28, 2011 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Note 2. — Liquidity

On December 23, 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries executed a new Credit Agreement with RBC Bank and Community & Southern Bank (collectively, the “Banks”) to provide new financing to the Company to replace the existing credit agreement with RBC Bank that terminated in conjunction with this Agreement. The new Agreement provided for a line of credit of up to $17.5 million and two term loans of $3.5 million and $3.0 million. The outstanding balance of the line of credit at August 31, 2011 was $10.7 million and the balances of the term loans were $3.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively. A copy of the new Credit Agreement was filed on an 8-K document with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 30, 2010. These loans are secured by all assets and personal property of the Company and a limited guarantee of the Chief Executive Officer of $3.0 million. The $3.0 million term loan is secured by real estate property of the Company and a building owned by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer through Southeastern Metro Savings, LLC. The building will continue to be in the collateral pool until such time as the note is sufficiently paid down or it is replaced by other collateral.

The agreement contains three covenants: a fixed charge coverage ratio, ratio of senior funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), and total liabilities to tangible net worth. 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 Agreement expires on December 1, 2013. 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.

As of February 28, 2011, the Company was not in compliance with the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio or the senior funded debt to EBITDA ratio as defined by the RBC and Community & Southern Bank credit line agreements. The Company subsequently received a waiver of these covenant violations from RBC Bank and Community & Southern Bank through the July 15, 2011 reporting of the next measurement of these covenants as of the Company’s first quarter end. Additionally, RBC Bank and Community & Southern Bank have amended the Credit Agreement, at various times, to reduce the revolver commitment to $15.0 million, to restate the covenants to pertain to only continuing operations of the Company, to adjust the targets for the senior funded debt to EBITDA covenant for the Company’s quarters ending May 31, 2011 and August 31, 2011, and to establish a swingline on the Company’s facility. The senior funded debt to EBITDA covenant was deemed to be the most restrictive by the Company and the Banks. The Company was in compliance under the new loan agreements for the quarters ended May 31, 2011 and August 31, 2011.

Note 3. — Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, the FASB issued revised guidance FASB ASU 2010-28, “When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts”. The amendments modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In making that determination, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that impairment may exist. The amendments were effective for the fiscal years and interim periods beginning January 1, 2011 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued guidance FASB ASU 2010-29, “Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations”. This guidance specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The guidance also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. This guidance is effective prospectively for 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, 2010. This guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance FASB ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” that allows an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. While the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are not changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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

Information relative to contracts in progress consisted of the following:


	August 31,			February 28,
	2011			2011
Costs incurred to date on uncompleted contracts	$	6,915		$	5,598
Estimated earnings recognized to date on these contracts		3,734			2,941

		10,649			8,539
Billings to date		(8,563	)		(7,373	)

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, net	$	2,086		$	1,166


Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings	$	2,573		$	2,192
Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings		(487	)		(1,026	)

	$	2,086		$	1,166

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 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 contain post-shipment obligations.

Changes in job performance, manufacturing efficiency, final contract settlements, and other factors affecting estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

As of August 31, 2011 and February 28, 2011, 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 August 31, 2011 and February 28, 2011, there were no progress payments that had been netted against inventory.

Note 6. — Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist primarily of the unamortized value of purchased patents, customer lists, non-compete agreements and other intangible assets. Intangible assets are amortized over the period of their expected lives, generally ranging from 5 to 15 years. Amortization expense related to intangible assets was approximately $157 thousand and $177 thousand for the six months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Agreement expires on December 1, 2013. 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.

Note 9. — Segment Information

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting”, the Company has determined that it has one reportable segment. In prior years, the Company had two reportable segments 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”. On March 1, 2011, the Company sold its Fox International Ltd subsidiary, which represented the entire wholesale distribution segment. As a result, the Company has determined that it has one reportable segment.

Note 11. — Shareholder’s Equity

Earnings Per Share

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

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

For the six-month period ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized general and administrative expenses of $17.5 thousand and $19.1 thousand, respectively, 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 August 31, 2011, total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options granted was $17.3 thousand. The unrecognized stock option compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a period of approximately 1 year.

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 remain outstanding based on historical information. Estimates of expected future stock price volatility are based on the historic volatility of the Company’s common stock, which represents the standard deviation of the differences in the weekly stock closing price, adjusted for dividends and stock splits.

No options were granted during the six month periods ended August 31, 2011. Three members of the board of directors were each granted 3,000 stock options during the six-month period ended August 31, 2010.

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 Company’s 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 Company’s common stock, depending on the market price of the shares. There is no minimum number of shares required to be repurchased under the program. Under the Company’s stock repurchase program, an additional 816,418 shares remain authorized to be repurchased by the Company at August 31, 2011. The Credit Agreement executed by the Company on December 23, 2010 includes restrictions on investments that restrict further repurchases of stock under this program. For the six months ended August 31, 2011 and August 31, 2010, no treasury shares were repurchased.

Note 12. — Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the six months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010 was 31.4% and 33.2%, respectively. These rates differ from the Federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of state taxes, the permanent non-deductibility of certain expenses for tax purposes, and research and experimentation credits.

Note 13. — Related Party Transactions

In conjunction with an agreement involving re-financing of the Company’s lines of credit and Loan and Security Agreement, on June 29, 2006 the Company’s CEO provided a $6.0 million subordinated term note to the Company with monthly principal payments of $33.3 thousand plus interest through 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 RBC Bank and Community & Southern Bank. The balance outstanding under this loan agreement was approximately $1.1 million at August 31, 2011 and $1.8 million at February 28, 2011. Interest paid during the quarter ended August 31, 2011 and 2010 on this note was $27.8 thousand and $56.8 thousand, respectively and interest paid for the six months ending August 31, 2011 and August 31, 2010 was $60.6 thousand and $116.3 thousand, respectively.

The Company’s CEO provides a portion of the collateral for one of the term loans with the consortium of RBC Bank and Community & Southern Bank. (See Note 8 — Lines of Credit)

On March 1, 2011, the Company sold its Fox International Ltd. subsidiary to FI Acquisitions, a company owned by Video Display’s Chief Executive Officer. The Company accounted for this entire business segment as discontinued operations, and accordingly, has reclassified the consolidated financial results for all periods presented to reflect this operating segment as discontinued operations.

Note 14. — Legal Proceedings

During 2007, the Company acquired the Cathode Ray Tube Manufacturing and Distribution Business and certain other assets of Clinton Electronics Corp. (“Clinton”), including inventory, 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 Company’s common stock in January of 2008; and (iii) an agreement to deliver a stock certificate representing Company Common Shares having a $500,000 in market value of the Company’s common stock in January of 2009. The Company had paid the $1.0 million Note Payable in January 2008. The Company disputed 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 did not issue the stock certificates scheduled for delivery January of 2008 and January of 2009. As such, the Company had accrued a potential liability of $1,625,000 and this accrued liability was reflected in the Company’s Balance Sheet until the settlement was reached.

On August 24, 2011, the Company and the Clinton Electronics Corporation signed a settlement agreement ending the dispute involving the purchase of certain assets by the Company, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement between the two companies. Prior to the negotiated settlement, the companies had agreed to arbitrate the dispute.

The terms of the settlement were not disclosed. There was no effect to the income statement due to the settlement. The previously accrued liability covered the settlement and the write off of inventory from the original agreement. The settlement did not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, consolidated financial condition, results of operation or cash flows.

Note 15. — Discontinued operations

On March 1, 2011, the Company sold its Fox International Ltd., Inc. subsidiary to FI Acquisitions, a company majority owned by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Company put its Fox International Ltd. subsidiary up for auction on January 15, 2011, and gave all interested parties a thirty-day due diligence period that was later extended until March 23, 2011, to give any potential bidders more time. FI Acquisitions was the only bidder and paid the net book value, approximately $3.5 million, for Fox International Ltd. in a stock sale, satisfied by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer exchanging 800,000 shares of the Company’s stock valued at approximately $3.3 million, approximately $50 thousand in cash and a reduction in notes payable to officers and directors of approximately $200 thousand. As the sale was at net book value, no gain or loss was recorded by the Company. The Company accounted for this entire business segment as discontinued operations, and, accordingly, has reclassified the consolidated financial results for all periods presented to reflect this operating segment as discontinued operations.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached interim condensed consolidated financial statements and with the Company’s 2011 Annual Report to Shareholders, which included audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011, as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

The Company is a worldwide leader in the manufacturing and distribution of a wide range of display devices, encompassing, among others, industrial, military, medical, and simulation display solutions. The Company is comprised of one segment — the manufacturing and distribution of displays and display components. The Company 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 complete range of CRT, flat panel and projection display systems for use in training and simulation, military, medical, and industrial applications.

	•		Data Display CRT— offers a wide range of CRTs for use in data display screens, including computer terminal monitors and medical monitoring equipment.

	•		Entertainment CRT — 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 Company’s internal needs.

During fiscal 2012, management of the Company is focusing key resources on strategic efforts to dispose of unprofitable operations and seek acquisition opportunities that enhance the profitability and sales growth of the Company’s more profitable product lines. 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 future needs to ensure adequate on-hand supplies of inventory and to mitigate the risk of overstocking slower moving, obsolete items. The Company’s inventories increased particularly in the monitor division due to new product lines it is carrying and due to requirements to fulfill contracts.

Certain of the Company’s divisions maintain significant inventories of CRTs and component parts in an effort to ensure its customers a reliable source of supply. The Company’s inventory turnover averages over 240 days, although in many cases the Company would anticipate holding 90 to 100 days of inventory in the normal course of operations. This level of inventory is higher than some of the Company’s competitors 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 Company’s business, the market for its products is characterized by fairly rapid change as a result of the development of new technologies, particularly in the flat panel display area. If the Company fails to anticipate the changing needs of its customers and accurately forecast their requirements, it may accumulate inventories of products which its customers no longer need and which the Company will be unable to sell or return to its vendors. Because of this, the Company’s management monitors the adequacy of its inventory reserves regularly, and at August 31, 2011 and February 28, 2011, believes its reserves to be adequate.

August 31, 2011

Interest rate exposure — The Company had outstanding debt of $18.1 million as of August 31, 2011, all of which is subject to interest rate fluctuations by the Company’s lenders. Higher rates applied by the Federal Reserve Board could have a negative affect on the Company’s earnings. It is the intent of the Company to continually monitor interest rates and consider converting portions of the Company’s debt from floating rates to fixed rates should conditions be favorable for such interest rate swaps or hedges.

Discontinued Operations

On March 1, 2011, the Company sold its Fox International Ltd. subsidiary to FI Acquisitions, a company owned by Video Display’s Chief Executive Officer. The Company accounted for this entire business segment as discontinued operations, and, accordingly, has reclassified the consolidated financial results for all periods presented to reflect this segment as discontinued operations. (See Note 15 — Discontinued Operations)

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth, for the three and six months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, the percentages that selected items in the Statements of Operations bear to total sales:

Net sales

Consolidated net sales decreased $0.6 million for the three months ended August 31, 2011 but increased $2.2 million for the six months ended August 31, 2011 as compared to the three and six months ended August 31, 2010. The 6.9% increase in sales for the six months period was lead by the Monitor division, which increased $3.0 million off-setting an overall decrease in the other divisions. The decrease in the three months ending August 31, 2011 was spread among all the divisions.

The increase in the Monitor division was lead by the Company’s Z-Axis subsidiary, which increased its sales for the six-month period ending August 31, 2011, compared to the six months ending August 31, 2010, from $4.4 million to $8.0 million or 82.9%. The robust sales increase was a result of an increase in its power supply business and its custom manufacturing business. The Company’s Aydin subsidiary increased its sales by 32.1% for the six-month comparable period ending August 31, 2011, from $10.4 million to $13.7 million. The increase was primarily due to shipments on long-term military contracts. Display Systems was down 21.0% due to lost business on Marquee Projector sales and Lexel Imaging was down 23.0% due primarily to reduced requirements for spare CRTs for their foreign military customers for the six-month period ending August 31, 2011. Display Systems is replacing the Marque Projectors with new digital projectors and Lexel has received additional orders from their foreign military customers, so that business is expected to increase in the coming quarters. The Data Display division decrease was primarily in flight simulation. This market was up for the Company’s first quarter ending May 31, 2011, but declined for the three months ending August 31, 2011. We expect this business to remain steady throughout the remainder of the year. A significant portion of the entertainment division’s sales are to television retailers as replacements for products sold under manufacturer and extended warranties. The Company remains the primary supplier of product to meet manufacturers’ standard warranties. This division is being phased out as it has been negatively impacted by the increasing demand for flat screen televisions. The Company’s Chroma subsidiary was closed July 31, 2011 and the Company’s Novatron facility is expected to be closed prior to the end of fiscal 2012.

Gross margins

Consolidated gross margins increased by 11.0% for the three months ended August 31, 2011 over the three months ended August 31, 2010 and as a percent to sales increased from 27.4% to 31.5%. The consolidated gross margin increased by 21.0% for the six months ended August 31, 2011 over the six months ended August 31, 2010 and as a percent to sales increased from 27.8% to 31.4% due to the increased sales while controlling fixed costs.

Gross margins within the Monitor division increased by 23.9% for the three month period ended August 31, 2011 over the comparable three month period ended August 31, 2010 and increased by 29.8% for the six month period ended August 31, 2011 over the comparative six month period ended August 31, 2010 due to the increased sales volume. The Monitor division’s increases are attributable to the beginning of shipments on a number of long-term contracts at the Aydin Displays and Display Systems divisions and new business at the Company’s Z-Axis subsidiary in its power supply and custom manufacturing businesses. The new business generated at Z-Axis is repeat business and is anticipated for the foreseeable future. The Data Display division gross margins decreased by 57.8% for the three-month comparable period ended August 31, 2011, and decreased by 48.7% for the six months ended August 31, 2011 compared to the six months ended August 31, 2010, due to the impact of the decreased margins at the both of the Company’s display facilities caused by a reduction in demand for these products. The gross margins in home entertainment CRTs and the Component Parts were negligible as both divisions sales continue to decline and are not material to the results of the Company.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses as a percentage of sales increased from 16.3% to 22.0% for the comparable three months ended August 31, 2011 and increased from 17.4% to 20.6% for the six months ended August 31, 2011. This was primarily due to an increase in salaries and commissions on the increased sales volume, research and development fees, and proposal expenses. The Company was able to control other fixed costs, such as rent and other administrative costs on the increased sales volume. The Company expects to continue to contain these costs while increasing revenues.

Video Display Corporation and Subsidiaries
August 31, 2011

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased 15.3% for the three-month comparable period ended August 31, 2011, and decreased 11.7% for the comparable six month period ended August 31, 2011 due to decreased average borrowings by the Company. The Company expects to continue to lower interest costs as the outstanding debt decreases, due to increased cash flow from operations and the management of current assets. The Company maintains various debt agreements with different interest rates, most of which are based on the prime rate or LIBOR.

Income taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010 was 31.3% and 30.4%, respectively and for the six months ended August 31, 2011 and August 31, 2010 was 31.4% and 33.2% respectively. These rates differ from the Federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of state taxes, the permanent non-deductibility of certain expenses for tax purposes, and research and experimentation credits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of August 31, 2011, the Company had total cash of $0.2 million. The Company’s working capital was $36.9 million and $36.5 million at August 31, 2011 and February 28, 2011, respectively. In recent years, the Company has financed its growth and cash needs primarily through income from operations, borrowings under revolving credit facilities, advances from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and long-term debt. Liquidity provided by operating activities of the Company is reduced by working capital requirements (largely inventories and accounts receivable), debt service, capital expenditures, and product line additions.

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

On December 23, 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries executed a new Credit Agreement with RBC Bank and Community & Southern Bank (collectively, the “Banks”) to provide new financing to the Company to replace the existing credit agreement with RBC Bank that terminated in conjunction with this Agreement. The new Agreement provided for a line of credit of up to $17.5 million and two term loans of $3.5 million and $3.0 million. The outstanding balance of the line of credit at August 31, 2011 was $10.7 million and the balances of the term loans were $3.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively. A copy of the new Credit Agreement was filed in an 8-K document with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 30, 2010. These loans are secured by all assets and personal property of the Company and a limited guarantee of the Chief Executive Officer of $3.0 million. The $3.0 million term loan is secured by real estate property of the Company and a building owned by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer through Southeastern Metro Savings, LLC. The building will continue to be in the collateral pool until the note is sufficiently paid down or it is replaced by other collateral.

The agreement contains three covenants: a fixed charge coverage ratio, ratio of senior funded debt to EBITDA ratio, and total liabilities to tangible net worth. 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 Agreement expires on December 1, 2013. 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.

& Southern Bank through the July 15, 2011 reporting of the next measurement of these covenants as of the Company’s first quarter end. Additionally, RBC Bank and Community & Southern Bank have amended the Credit Agreement, at various times, to reduce the revolver commitment to $15.0 million, to restate the covenants to pertain to only continuing operations of the Company, to adjust the targets for the senior funded debt to EBITDA covenant for the Company’s quarters ending May 31, 2011 and August 31, 2011, and to establish a swingline on the Company’s facility. The senior funded debt to EBITDA covenant was deemed to be the most restrictive by the Company and the Banks. The Company was in compliance under the new loan agreements for the quarter ending May 31, 2011 and August 31, 2011.

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

Cash provided by operations for the six months ended August 31, 2011 was $1.2 million. Net income from operations provided $2.2 million, and adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash were $1.8 million including depreciation and reserves. Changes in working capital used $2.8 million, primarily due to an increase in inventory of $0.3 million, an increase in costs on uncompleted contracts of $0.9 million, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1.8 million and an increase in other assets of $0.1 million offset a decrease in refundable taxes of $0.3 million. Cash provided by operations for the six months ended August 31, 2010 was $1.6 million.

Investing activities provided cash of $1.2 million from a letter of credit of $1.4 million, proceeds from the sale of the Company’s Fox International Ltd. subsidiary of $0.1 and the purchase of equipment for $0.3 million during the six months ended August 31, 2011, compared to cash used of $0.2 million during the six months ended August 31, 2010 for the purchase of equipment of $0.3 million offset by the sale of equipment of $0.1 million.

Financing activities used cash of $3.6 million for the six months ended August 31, 2011, due to net repayments against the line of credit and to the Company’s officers, compared to cash used of $0.9 million for the six months ended August 31, 2010, reflecting repayments against the line of credit and to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

The Company’s debt agreements with financial institutions contain affirmative and negative covenants, including requirements related to tangible net worth and debt service coverage and new loans. Additionally, dividend payments, capital expenditures, and acquisitions have certain restrictions. Substantially all of the Company’s retained earnings are restricted based upon these covenants.

The Company has a stock repurchase program, pursuant to which it was originally authorized to repurchase up to 1,632,500 shares of the Company’s 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 Company’s common stock, depending on the market price of the shares. There is no minimum number of shares required to be repurchased under the program. Under the Company’s stock repurchase program, an additional 816,418 shares remain authorized to be repurchased by the Company at August 31, 2011. The Credit Agreement executed by the Company on December 23, 2010 includes restrictions on investments that restrict further repurchases of stock under this program. For the six months ended August 31, 2011 and the six months ended August 31, 2010, no treasury shares were repurchased.

cash and a reduction in notes payable to officers and directors of approximately $200 thousand. As the sale was at net book value, no gain or loss was recorded by the Company.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. These condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. The accounting policies that may involve a higher degree of judgments, estimates, and complexity include reserves on inventories, revenue recognition, the allowance for bad debts and warranty reserves. The Company uses the following methods and assumptions in determining its estimates:

Reserves on inventories

Reserves on inventories result in a charge to operations when the estimated net realizable value declines below cost. Management regularly reviews the Company’s investment in inventories for declines in value and establishes reserves when it is apparent that the expected net realizable value of the inventory falls below its carrying amount. Management considers the projected demand for CRTs in this estimate of net realizable value. Management is able to identify consumer-buying trends, such as size and application, well in advance of supplying replacement CRTs. Thus, the Company is able to adjust inventory-stocking levels according to the projected demand. The average life of a CRT is five to seven years, at which time the Company’s replacement market develops. Management reviews inventory levels on a quarterly basis. Such reviews include observations of product development trends of the original equipment manufacturers, new products being marketed, and technological advances relative to the product capabilities of the Company’s existing inventories. There were no significant changes in management’s estimates in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and 2011; however, the Company cannot guarantee the accuracy of future forecasts since these estimates are subject to change based on market conditions.

Revenue Recognition

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

In accordance with 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 income statements. Shipping and handling costs incurred are classified in selling and delivery in the consolidated income statements.

A portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from contracts to manufacture flat panel and CRTs 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.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

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 past payment history and overall trends in past due accounts compared to established thresholds. The Company monitors credit exposure and assesses the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis. Historically, the Company’s allowance has been sufficient for any customer write-offs. Although the Company cannot guarantee future results, management believes its policies and procedures relating to customer exposure are adequate.

Warranty reserves

The warranty reserve is determined by recording a specific reserve for known warranty issues and a general 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 believes that its procedures historically have been adequate and does not anticipate that its assumptions are reasonably likely to change in the future.

Other Accounting Policies

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, the FASB issued revised guidance FASB ASU 2010-28, “When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts”. The amendments modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In making that determination, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that impairment may exist. The amendments were effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning January 1, 2011 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Forward-Looking Information and Risk Factors

This report contains forward-looking statements and information that is based on management’s beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to management. When used in this document, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intends,” “will,” and “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties, which are included under Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report of Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2011 could cause actual results to differ materially.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s primary market risks include fluctuations in interest rates and variability in interest rate spread relationships, such as prime to LIBOR spreads. Approximately $18.1 million of outstanding debt at August 31, 2011 related to indebtedness under variable rate debt. Interest on the outstanding balance of this debt will be charged based on a variable rate related to the prime rate or the LIBOR rate. Both rate bases are incremented for margins specified in their agreements. Thus, the Company’s interest rate is subject to market risk in the form of fluctuations in interest rates. The effect of a hypothetical one-percentage point increase across all maturities of variable rate debt would result in a decrease of approximately $0.2 million in pre-tax net income assuming no further changes in the amount of borrowings subject to variable rate interest from amounts outstanding at August 31, 2011. The Company does not trade in derivative financial instruments.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of August 31, 2011. We perform this evaluation on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions concerning the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures can be reported in our annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of August 31, 2011.
