PART I

Item 1. Business.

General

Video Display Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”, “us” or “we”) is a world-class provider and manufacturer of video products, components, and systems for visual 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, industrial, and commercial organizations. The Company markets its products worldwide primarily from facilities located in the United States. 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. The Company operates primarily in four divisions: Display CRTs, simulation and training products, broadcast and control center products, and cyber secure products.

Consolidated Net Sales by division for fiscal 2014 are comprised of the following:

Simulation and Training Products (48%)

Data Display CRTs (15%)

Broadcast and Control Center Products (23%)

Cyber Secure Products (14%)

A more detailed discussion of sales by category of product is included under the section entitled “Principal Products by Division.”

The Company’s manufacturing and distribution facilities are located in Georgia and Florida.

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 Company’s position in the display industry. Management continually evaluates product trends externally in the industry and internally in the divisions in which the Company operates. During the last three years, the Company expended research and development funds (approximately $0.3 million in fiscal 2014) in high-resolution projection displays and active matrix liquid crystal display (“AMLCD”) technologies, for commercial and military applications.

Segment Information

We operate and manage our business as one segment. The four divisions have similarities such as the types of products and markets served. Therefore, we believe they meet the criteria for aggregation under the applicable authoritative guidance and, as such, are reported as one segment within the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Principal Products by Division

Simulation and Training Products

The Company’s simulation and training products operations are conducted in Cape Canaveral, Florida (Display Systems).

This portion of the Company’s operations, which contributed approximately 48% of fiscal 2014 consolidated net sales, involves the design, engineering, and manufacture of digital projector display units. The Company customizes 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 Company’s flexible and cost efficient manufacturing, it is able to handle low volume orders that generate higher margins.

Index to Financial Statements

This portion of the Company’s 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. Flight simulator displays are produced to provide a full range of flight training simulations for military and commercial applications.

Data Display 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.

During fiscal 2014, the Company sold its CRT manufacturing operation of new and recycled CRTs located in Lexington, Kentucky (Lexel) and now its CRT operations are strictly in the distribution of data display CRTs purchased from outside sources at the Company’s Tucker, Georgia location.

The Company also distributes new CRTs and other electronic tubes purchased from original manufacturers. The Company sells CRTs into the replacement market which sometimes takes five to seven years to develop; 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 (original equipment manufacturers) and their service organizations.

In addition to factors affecting the overall market for such products, the Company’s sales volume in the CRT replacement markets is dependent upon the Company’s ability to provide prompt response to customers’ orders, while maintaining quality control and competitive pricing. The Data Display division represented approximately 15% of fiscal 2014 net sales.

Broadcast and Control Center Products

The Company began a start-up operation in July 2011, AYON Visual Solutions, as the North American distributor of a German company, eyevis GmbH. The division sells high-end visual display products for use in video walls and command and control centers. In fiscal 2014, the division had many successful installations of video walls of various sizes including two major news organizations.

The division has been built thus far by partnering with consultants and system integrators. These partners have first- hand knowledge of the needs of the market and have been educated about the division’s products. Management believes the division will continue to grow by expanding their network of partners and product offerings as eyevis GmbH introduces new products. This division represented approximately 23% of fiscal 2014 consolidated net sales.

Cyber Secure Products

The Company acquired the AYON CyberSecurity (“ACS”) division in March 2012. ACS was formerly known as Hetra Products and most recently as StingRay56 before becoming part of Video Display Corporation. ACS specializes in advanced TEMPEST technology, also known as Emanation Security EMSEC, products and custom engineering solutions to include extreme environmental performance and survivability technologies (MIL-STD-810 and DO-160) in support of military forces, intelligence agencies, prime contractors and niche commercial sectors worldwide. ACS has a long history of specializing in TEMPEST technology. In addition to its TEMPEST products and services, the business also provides various contract services to government agencies and prime contractors. Services performed include design and testing solutions for defense and niche commercial uses worldwide. ACS has offices in the U.S. and Canada, a Reseller Relationship/Partner in Europe and Technology partners around the globe. This division represented approximately 14% of fiscal 2014 consolidated net sales.

Patents and Trademarks

The Company 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 $188,000 and $200,000 in fiscal 2014 and 2013, 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 Company’s 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 Company’s business.

Working Capital Practices

In fiscal 2014, with the sale of the Company’s Aydin Displays, Inc and Z-Axis, Inc. subsidiaries, the Company repaid all remaining bank debt, which included a line of credit and two term loans. At February 28, 2013 the outstanding balance of the line of credit was $9.9 million; the outstanding balances of the term loans were $2.0 million and $2.6 million. Currently, the only remaining debt of the Company is $0.3 million it owes on a building owned by its subsidiary, Teltron Technologies, Inc. in Birdsboro, PA.

The Company is currently operating using cash from operations and investing activities. The Company has a $20.8 million working capital balance at February 28, 2014, including $8.4 million in liquid assets.

The Company believes it can continue to operate the Company with existing cash flows for the current level of business. The Company is in negotiations for a new banking partner that can work with the Company on its current needs and will be there as opportunities present themselves.

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 Company had direct and indirect net sales to the U.S. government, primarily the Department of Defense for training and simulation programs that comprised approximately 28% and 31% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. Sales to foreign customers were approximately 10% and 12% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company had one customer that comprised 20.7% (Lockheed Martin) and one customer that comprised 10.1% (Diversified Systems) of the Company’s net sales in fiscal 2014. 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 Company’s backlog is comprised of undelivered, firm customer orders, which are scheduled to ship within eighteen months. The Company’s backlog was approximately $3.3 million at February 28, 2014 and $2.6 million at February 28, 2013. It is anticipated that more than 85% of the February 28, 2014 backlog will ship during fiscal 2015.

Environmental Matters

The Company’s 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 Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow in the past and are not expected to have a material adverse impact in the foreseeable future.

Research and Development

The objectives of the Company’s 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 includes research and development expenditures in the consolidated financial statements as a part of general and administrative costs. Research and development costs were approximately $0.3 million in fiscal 2014 and 2013.

Employees

As of February 28, 2014, the Company employed 71 persons on a full-time basis. Of these, 12 were employed in executive, administrative, and clerical positions, 7 were employed in sales and distribution, and 52 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, military and commercial 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 VDC Display Systems, AYON Visual Solutions and AYON CyberSecurity, the Company believes it has become one of the leading suppliers within each of these specialty display markets.

The Company now operates in several markets in the areas of custom electronic solutions. The Company’s VDC Display Systems division specializes in projector design and video solutions, and the Company’s AYON CyberSecurity division specializes in making electronic devices cyber secure. The Company became the North American distributor for the German company, Eyevis GmbH, focusing on configurable visual solutions for command and control and other large format visuals in the energy, utility, transportation, industrial and security markets.

The Company is a wholesale distributor of original equipment CRTs purchased from other manufacturers and its former subsidiary Lexel Imaging, Inc. The Company believes it is the only company that offers complete service in replacement markets with its manufacturing and recycling capabilities. The Company’s ability to compete effectively in this market is dependent upon its continued ability to respond promptly to customer orders and to offer competitive pricing.

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 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 Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows; (ii) the Company’s financing plans; (iii) the Company’s 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 Company’s business and operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business, consolidated financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations could be materially affected.

Index to Financial Statements

Changes in government priorities may affect military spending, and our consolidated financial condition and results of operations or cash flows could suffer if their purchases decline.

We currently derive a portion of our net sales (28% in fiscal 2014) from direct and indirect sales to the U.S. government. If we are unable to replace expiring contracts, which are typically less than twelve months in duration, with contracts for new business, our sales could decline, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. 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.

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.

Future acquisitions may not provide benefits to the Company.

The Company’s growth strategy includes expansion through acquisitions that enhance the profitability and shareholder value of the Company. The Company continues to seek new products through acquisitions and internal development that complement existing profitable product lines. 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 Company’s consolidated operations.

Our inability to secure financing could negatively affect the future of our business.

No open lines of credit could adversely affect the future operation of our business.

No open lines of credit could have important consequences, including:

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 consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

The Company’s stock price may be negatively affected by a variety of factors.

In addition to any impact the Company’s operating performance, potential future Company sales or repurchases of common stock, the Company’s 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 Company’s 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.

If the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying value, then it applies the processes prescribed in FASB ASC Topic 350 “Intangible Assets” and FASB ASC Topic 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” We make certain estimates and projections in connection with our impairment analyses for intangible assets and other long-term assets. If these estimates or projections change or prove incorrect, we may be required to record impairment charges. If these impairment charges were significant, our consolidated financial position or results of operations would be adversely affected.

International factors could negatively affect our business.

A significant portion of our consolidated net sales (10% in fiscal 2014) is made to foreign customers. We also receive a significant amount of our raw materials from foreign vendors. 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:

Item 7. 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”:

During fiscal 2014, management of the Company focused key resources on strategic efforts to dispose of operations, both profitable and unprofitable to enhance shareholder value. The Company also seeks to look for acquisition opportunities that enhance the profitability and shareholder value of the Company. 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 wrote-off a substantial portion of its CRT inventory in fiscal 2014 due to the rapid changes in display technology, a total of $4.5 million of which $2.7 million was reserved. The Company also wrote off a total of $0.8 million at its VDC Display Systems facility of which $0.5 million was reserved. The additional write off was due to excess lens inventory which the division had been trying to engineer into new products. New technological changes made that unlikely.

The Company’s remaining business units utilize different inventory components than the divisions had in the past. The Company has a monthly reserve at each of its divisions to offset any obsolescence although most purchases are for current orders, which should reduce the amount of obsolescence in the future. The Company still has CRT inventory in stock and although it believes the inventory will be sold in the future will continue to reserve for any additional obsolescence. Management believes the adequacy of its inventory reserves at February 28, 2014 to be adequate.

Operations

The following table sets forth, for the fiscal years indicated, the percentages that selected items in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations bear to total revenues (amounts in thousands):

(See Item 1. Business – Description of Principal Business and Principal Products for discussion about the Company’s Products and Divisions.)

Fiscal 2014 Compared to Fiscal 2013

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales increased $2.4 million or 19.8% to $14.4 million for fiscal 2014, compared to $12.0 million for fiscal 2013 for the remaining businesses included in continuing operations after the sales of three of the Company’s subsidiaries, Aydin Displays, Inc., Z-Axis, Inc. and Lexel Imaging, Inc.

The Company has transitioned into a video display solutions company, but still services the existing CRT markets, which overall account for approximately 15% of the Company’s revenues. The Company’s largest remaining division is VDC Display Systems, which services the simulation and training markets. VDC Display Systems sales decreased by 10.5% in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013, from $7.7 million in fiscal 2013 to $6.9 million in fiscal 2014 primarily due to slower government sales in two existing programs VDC Display Systems supplies. The division is expected to improve this next fiscal year due to new business secured in the latter part of the last fiscal year.

The other two divisions, AYON Visual Solutions and AYON CyberSecurity, both increased their net sales for fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. AYON Visual Solutions, which services the broadcast and control center markets, increased their sales by $2.9 million or 583% from $0.5 million in fiscal 2013 to $3.4 million in fiscal 2014. The increase was driven by several video wall installations by the division during the year. The division is expected to continue its growth in fiscal 2015. AYON CyberSecurity, which services the emanation security market increased their sales by $0.5 million or 32.9% from $1.5 million in fiscal 2013 to $2.0 million in fiscal 2014. The cyber security division is expected to increase its revenues in fiscal 2015 with further expansion in the government sector and additional penetration in the commercial market.

Gross Margins

Consolidated gross margins decreased to (7.5%) for fiscal 2014 from 10.9% for fiscal 2013. Overall gross margin dollars decreased by $2.4 million versus the prior fiscal year.

11

Table of Contents

Index to Financial Statements

The Company’s reductions in gross margins were a direct reflection of an additional $2.0 million dollar inventory write-off of primarily CRT inventory due to the rapid changes in display technology and increased costs at the cyber division for materials and labor. Management believes the inventory write-off was a non-recurring event for the CRT inventory and new management at the cyber division is working on improved margins in new quotes and reducing labor costs through more efficient production methods. Management expects to see improvement in margins at all remaining divisions through better pricing and cost reductions.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses as a percentage of sales decreased from 37.9% for fiscal 2013 to 32.9% for fiscal 2014 primarily reflecting decreases in sales salaries, administrative salaries and travel expense. The lower salaries are attributable to decreases in staff at all the divisions including AYON Visual Solutions and AYON CyberSecurity.

The Company is working to reduce costs in all areas of the business to bring its cost structure in line with the current size of the business after the sale of the three subsidiaries. The remaining business units are making changes to maximize profitability. With the sales of the three subsidiaries completed, the Company will see a significant reduction in legal, insurance and corporate expenses.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was relatively flat at $0.7 million for fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013. Interest expense was averaging $115 thousand per month for the first six months of the fiscal year. When the Company sold its Aydin Displays, Inc. subsidiary on August 30, 2013, all but $1.3 million of the debt with the Company’s bank was paid off, reducing interest expense to approximately $8 thousand per month. In January, the Company sold its Z-Axis Inc., subsidiary and all the remaining bank debt was paid. The only remaining interest (approximately $1.0 thousand per month) is the balance owed on a building the Company owns in Pennsylvania.

Income Taxes

The Company had net loss before taxes of approximately $5.9 million and an income tax benefit of $2.1 million before the valuation allowance of $1.6 million for a net tax realizable benefit of approximately $0.5 million for fiscal 2014 or a rate of 8%, compared to a tax benefit of $1.4 million on net losses before taxes of ($3.9) million or a 36% rate for fiscal 2013.

Discontinued Operations

On August 30, 2013, Video Display Corporation (the “Company”) completed the sale of the assets and the transfer of specified liabilities of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Aydin Displays Inc. (“Aydin”). Aydin’s assets were sold to a newly formed acquisition affiliate of Sparton Corp. for a combination of cash totaling $15 million, plus an additional earn-out potential that could be in excess of $6 million dollars based upon the achievement of reaching certain projected levels of EBITDA generated by the “new” Aydin in the subsequent 12-month period to the August 30, 2013 closing. The sale provisions included a holdback of $1.2 million on the proceeds which was put into an escrow account until August 30, 2014. The Company recognized a gain on the sale of the Aydin assets of $2.9 million pre-tax. The potential earn-out is not included in the gain recognized. Along with the sale, the Company signed a lease agreement with the buyer, whereby the Company rented a building owned by another subsidiary of the Company to the buyer with no rent for a five year period. The Company deferred $0.6 million of the gain, and will recognize it as rental income over the five-year period. Aydin had net sales of $8.3 million and pre-tax net income of $0.5 million for the six months ending August 30, 2013 before the sale.

On January 16, 2014, the Company sold their wholly-owned subsidiary, Z-Axis, Inc. The sale includes Z-Axis as well as its BEAR Power Supplies and Boundless Technologies business units. Z-Axis, Inc. was sold to one of the subsidiary’s original founders for approximately $9 million in cash and a $1 million dollar note. The Company recognized a gain on the sale of $5.4 million pre-tax. Z-Axis had $7.8 million in net sales and pre-tax net profit of $0.6 million for the ten and a half months of fiscal 2014 before the sale.

On March 26, 2014 with an effective date of February 28, 2014, the Company completed the sale of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Lexel Imaging, Inc. to Citadal Partners, LLC for approximately $3.9 million, consisting of $1.0 million cash payable over 180 days and included in current assets as a note and a guarantee to purchase $2.9 million in inventory over a five year period. The inventory was adjusted to its net realizable value as part of the sale. The Company recognized a loss on the sale of $4.4 million pre-tax. Lexel Imaging, Inc. had net sales of $ 7.6 million and a pre-tax net loss of $0.8 million for the twelve months ending February 28, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In fiscal 2014, with the sale of the Company’s Aydin Displays, Inc and Z-Axis, Inc. subsidiaries, the Company repaid all remaining bank debt, which included a line of credit and two term loans. At February 28, 2013 the outstanding balance of the line of credit was $9.9 million; the outstanding balances of the term loans were $2.0 million and $2.6 million. Currently, the only remaining debt of the Company is $0.3 million it owes on a building owned by its subsidiary, Teltron Technologies, Inc. in Birdsboro, PA.

The Company is currently operating using cash from operations and investing activities. The Company has a $20.8 million working capital balance at February 28, 2014, including $8.4 million in liquid assets.

The Company believes it can continue to operate the Company with existing cash flows for the current level of business. The Company is in negotiations for a new banking partner, which can work with the Company on its current needs and will be there as opportunities present themselves.

The Company continually monitors its cash and financing positions in order to find ways to lower its 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; however, more permanent sources of capital may be required in certain circumstances.

Cash provided by operations was $1.1 million in fiscal 2014 and $2.2 million in fiscal 2013. Of this, the Company had adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash that used $2.8 million in the operating activities of the Company including an operating loss of $2.7 million. Changes in working capital items provided $3.8 million. The change in prepaid expenses and other assets provided $3.6 million, the change in customer receivables provided $1.2 million, deferred revenue provided $0.6 million, and inventories provided $0.6 million, while the change in accounts payable used $1.5 million and income taxes used $0.7 million. During fiscal 2013, adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash for operating activities used $1.8 million and net working capital items increased by $3.9 million. The income from discontinued operations accounted for $2.5 million of the deficit, while changes in deferred taxes, allowances for doubtful accounts and a gain on the disposal of assets accounted for $0.4 million of the funds used. Inventory reserves provided $0.7 million and depreciation provided $0.4 million. The primary changes were a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $4.0 million that resulted from the sale of the subsidiaries, a $1.6 million increase in accounts payable due to tighter credit restrictions with the Company’s line of credit causing a need to slow payments to vendors, a decrease in prepaid taxes of $0.3 million and a decrease in notes receivable of $0.3 million. There were also increases in accounts receivables ($1.8 million), inventories ($0.4 million), and cost on uncompleted contracts ($0.1 million).

Investing activities provided cash of $19.3 million in fiscal 2014 and used $0.4 million of cash in fiscal 2013. The proceeds from the sale of three subsidiaries provided $23.7 million and the sale of buildings provided $0.5 million. The proceeds of these sales were offset by the purchase of $4.8 million in trading investments and $0.1 million in capital expenditures. Investing activities in fiscal 2013 consisted of capital expenditures of $0.5 million offset by proceeds from the Chroma sale of $0.1 million. The Company does not anticipate significant investments in capital assets for fiscal 2014 beyond normal maintenance requirements.

Financing activities used cash of $17.2 million in fiscal 2014 and $1.6 million during fiscal 2013 primarily to repay debt and for the purchase of $2.2 million of treasury stock in fiscal 2014.

The Company has a stock repurchase program, pursuant to which it has been authorized to repurchase up to 2,632,500 shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market. On January 20, 2014, 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 1,500,000 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. During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2014, the Company repurchased 572,597 shares at an average price of $3.78 per share and during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013, the Company repurchased 22,031 shares at an average price of $4.10 per share, which were added to treasury shares on the consolidated balance sheet. Under this program, an additional 1,632,509 shares remain authorized to be repurchased by the Company at February 28, 2014.

Transactions with Related Parties, Contractual Obligations, and Commitments

The Company borrowed $0.5 million from the Company’s CEO in January 2013 with an interest rate of eight percent. The Company had additional borrowings during the course of fiscal year 2014 for an additional $0.25 million. All the funds were borrowed on a short term basis and the Company fully repaid the funds by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

The Company leases two buildings from the Company’s CEO in Tucker, Georgia. They serve as the warehouse operations for the CRT division and the corporate headquarters. See Note 11.

Contractual Obligations

Future contractual maturities of long-term debt, future contractual obligations due under operating leases, and other obligations at February 28, 2014 are as follows (in thousands):

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). 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 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. The Company wrote-off a substantial portion of its CRT inventory in fiscal 2014 due to the rapid changes in display technology, a total of $4.5 million of which $2.7 million was reserved. The Company also wrote off a total of $0.8 million at its VDC Display Systems facility of which $0.5 million was reserved. The additional write off was due to excess lens inventory which the division had been trying to engineer into new products. New technological changes made that unlikely.

The Company’s remaining business units utilize different inventory components than the divisions had in the past. The Company has a monthly reserve at each of its divisions to offset any obsolescence although most purchases are for current orders, which should reduce the amount of obsolescence in the future. The Company still has CRT inventory in stock and although it believes the inventory will be sold in the future will continue to reserve for any additional obsolescence.

There have been significant changes in management’s estimates in fiscal 2014 and 2013 due to the rapidly changing business conditions in the display markets and the Company adjusted its reserves based on the remaining inventories and the remaining businesses it operates. 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 $0.1 million and $2.7 million at February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, respectively. During fiscal 2014 and 2013, the Company disposed of $5.3 million and $0.6 million of inventory, respectively. $4.5 million of the disposals during fiscal year 2014 were primarily due to the rapid decline in the CRT industry; other divisions disposed of approximately $0.8 million of other unusable parts, including lenses. During fiscal year 2013, disposals were $0.3 million in write-offs at the Display Systems division and another $0.1 million written off in the consolidation of the Company’s old Novatron and Southwest Vacuum divisions into the Data Display CRT division. Analysis of the inventory determined there was no longer a need for some of the inventory and it was better to dispose of it for tax purposes and free valuable space.

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 collectability can be reasonably assured. The Company’s delivery term typically is F.O.B. shipping point.

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB’) Accounting Standards Codification (“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 income. Shipping and handling costs incurred for the delivery of product to customers are classified in selling and delivery in the consolidated statements of income.

A portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from contracts to manufacture display systems to a buyer’s 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

14

Index to Financial Statements

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 bad debts

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

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.

Intangible and Other Long-Term Assets

If the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of an intangible asset is less than the carrying value, then it applies the processes prescribed in FASB ASC Topic 350 “Intangible Assets” and FASB ASC Topic 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment”. We make certain estimates and projections in connection with impairment analyses for intangible assets. If these estimates or projections change or prove incorrect, we may be required to record impairment charges. If these impairment charges were significant, our consolidated financial position or results of operations would be adversely affected. Management has assessed the Company’s intangible assets and has not recognized any impairment of assets for the twelve months ended February 28, 2014.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions under the provisions of ASC Topic 740, which contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not, that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating the Company’s tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments. At February 28, 2014, the Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No (ASU 2014-08), “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity”. ASU 2014-08 changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modified related disclosure requirements. Under the new guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as: (i) a disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale that represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results or (ii) an acquired business or nonprofit activity that is classified as held for sale on the date of acquisition. The guidance states that a strategic shift could include a disposal of (i) a major geographical area of operations, (ii) a major line of business, (iii) a major equity method investment, or (iv) other major parts of an entity. Under the current U.S. GAAP, an entity is prohibited from reporting a discontinued operation if it has certain continuing cash flows or involvement component after the disposal. The new guidance eliminates these criteria.

The standard expands the disclosures for discontinued operations and requires new disclosures related to individually material disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation, an entity’s continuing involvement with a discontinued operation following the disposal date and retained equity method investments in a discontinued operation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within that year. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Impact of Inflation

Inflation has not had a material effect on the Company’s results of operations to date.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company’s primary market risks include changes in technology and government spending. The rapid advances in video and projection technology present a challenge for the Company’s management and engineers to be able to meet the ever changing demands in the markets in which it operates. The Company did a significant amount of business with the government (28% of revenues) in fiscal 2014. Failure of the government to continue to fund programs in the Company’s markets could have a detrimental effect on the Company.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors

Video Display Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Video Display Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of February 28, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended February 28, 2014. The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, 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 consolidated financial position of Video Display Corporation and subsidiaries as of February 28, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended February 28, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Fiscal Year

All references herein to “2014” and “2013” mean the fiscal years ended February 28, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Unless otherwise noted, these policies and disclosures pertain to our continuing operations.

Nature of Business

Video Display Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”, “our” or “we”) is a world-class provider and manufacturer of video products, components, and systems for data display and presentation of electronic information media in various 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.

Principles of Consolidation

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

Basis of Accounting

“The FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (“FASB ASC”) establishes the source of authoritative accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP) recognized by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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. The FASB amends the FASB ASC through Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). ASCs and ASUs are referred to throughout these consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Examples include provisions for returns, warranty reserves, bad debts, inventory reserves, valuations on deferred income tax assets, 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

In fiscal 2014, with the sale of the Company’s Aydin Displays, Inc and Z-Axis, Inc. subsidiaries, the Company repaid all remaining bank debt, which included a line of credit and two term loans. At February 28, 2013 the outstanding balance of the line of credit was $9.9 million; the outstanding balances of the term loans were $2.0 million and $2.6 million. Currently, the only remaining debt of the Company is $0.3 million it owes on a building owned by its subsidiary, Teltron Technologies, Inc. in Birdsboro, PA.

The Company is currently operating using cash from operations and investing activities. The Company has a $20.8 million working capital balance at February 28, 2014, including $8.4 million in liquid assets.

The Company believes it can continue to operate the Company with existing cash flows for the current level of business. The Company is in negotiations for a new banking partner that can work with the Company on its current needs and will be there as opportunities present themselves.

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 Company’s 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 income. Shipping and handling costs incurred are classified in selling and delivery in the consolidated statements of income. Shipping costs of $0.1 million and $0.1 million were included in the fiscal years ended 2014 and 2013, respectively.

A portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from contracts to manufacture video displays to a buyer’s 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 ASC to recognize revenue on all contracts to design, develop, manufacture, or modify complex electronic equipment to a buyer’s 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.

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 $0.3 million in the fiscal years ended 2014 and 2013.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments

All highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. Investment securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as “trading” and principally consist of equity securities and mutual funds. These trading investments are carried at fair value with realized gains or losses and changes in fair value included in operations. Unrealized gains and losses approximated $78 thousand in 2014.

Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments

The fair value measurement guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The guidance describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

25

Table of Contents

Index to Financial Statements

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis by the Company consist of investment securities held for trading using Level 1 inputs.

The Company’s financial instruments which are not measured at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets include cash, accounts receivable, short-term liabilities, and debt. The estimated fair value of these financial instruments were determined using Level 2 inputs and approximate cost due to the short period of time to maturity. Recorded amounts of long-term debt 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. 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 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 Company’s allowance has been sufficient for any customer write-offs. Management believes accounts receivable are stated at amounts expected to be collected.

26

Table of Contents

Index to Financial Statements

The following is a roll-forward of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts (in thousands):

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 CRTs, electron guns, monitors, digital projectors, video components 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 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 its products in this estimate of net realizable value. Management is able to forecast the usage of its products from buying trends of its customers and the open sales orders from customers. Thus, the Company is able to adjust inventory-stocking levels according to the projected demand. Management reviews inventory levels on a quarterly basis. Such reviews include observations of product development trends of the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), new products being marketed, and technological advances relative to the product capabilities of the Company’s existing inventories. Management believes that due to rapid changes in display technology much of the CRT inventory has become obsolete. The Company wrote-off an additional $1.8 million in CRT inventory during the current fiscal year to bring in line with its estimates of the value of the inventory. There have been no other significant changes in management’s estimates in fiscal 2014 and 2013; however, the Company cannot guarantee the accuracy of future forecasts since these estimates are subject to change based on market conditions.

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 $268 thousand for the fiscal years ended 2014 and 2013. 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.

Intangibles

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 either 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 years ended February 28, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized immaterial amounts of share-based compensation in general and administrative expense; 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, 2014, total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options and shares of restricted stock granted was $8.7 thousand. The amount of unrecognized share based compensation cost is expected to be recognized ratably over a period of approximately one year.

Stock Repurchase Program

The Company has a stock repurchase program, pursuant to which it had been authorized to repurchase up to 2,632,500 shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market. On January 20, 2014 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 1,500,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market. There is no minimum number of shares required to be repurchased under the program. During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2014, the Company repurchased 572,597 shares at an average price of $3.78 per share and during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013, the Company repurchased 22,031 shares at an average price of $4.10 per share, which were added to treasury shares on the consolidated balance sheet. Under this program, an additional 1,632,509 shares remain authorized to be repurchased by the Company at February 28, 2014.

Income Taxes

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 Company’s consolidated 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.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has determined that a valuation allowance is needed due to recent taxable net operating losses, the sale of profitable divisions and the limited taxable income in the carry back periods. 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 accounts for uncertain tax positions as required in that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is recognized in the consolidated 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. As of February 28, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not have any material unrecognized tax benefits.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each 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 (loss) per share to diluted earnings (loss) per share for 2014 and 2013, (in thousands, except for per share data):

Stock options, debentures, and other liabilities convertible into 38,000 and 37,000 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock were anti-dilutive and, therefore, were excluded from the fiscal 2014 and 2013 diluted earnings (loss) per share calculation.

Segment Reporting

The Company applies FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” to report information about operating segments in its 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. We operate and manage our business as one reportable segment. All of our divisions have similarities such as products and markets served; therefore, we believe they meet the criteria for aggregation under the applicable authoritative guidance and, as such, these operations are reported as one segment within the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Sales to foreign customers were 10% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2014 and 12% for fiscal 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity”. ASU 2014-08 changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modified related disclosure requirements. Under the new guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as: (i) a disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale that represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results or (ii) an acquired business or nonprofit activity that is classified as held for sale on the date of acquisition. The standard states that a strategic shift could include a disposal of (i) a major geographical area of operations, (ii) a major line of business, (iii) a major equity method investment, or (iv) other major parts of an entity. Under the current U.S. GAAP, an entity is prohibited from reporting a discontinued operation if it has certain continuing cash flows or involvement component after the disposal. The new guidance eliminates these criteria.

The standard expands the disclosures for discontinued operations and requires new disclosures related to individually material disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation, an entity’s continuing involvement with a discontinued operation following the disposal date and retained equity method investments in a discontinued operation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within that year. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Note 2. Costs and Estimated Earnings Related to Billings on Uncompleted Contracts

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

The Company had two divisions in previous reporting periods who accounted for material contracts on the percentage of completion basis, Aydin Displays and VDC Display Systems. As of February 28, 2014, VDC Display Systems did not have any open contracts in progress and the Aydin Displays division had been sold. The February 28, 2013 balances have been reclassified to reflect only the balances of VDC Display Systems.

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. There were no open contracts at February 28, 2014 accounted for under FASB ASC Topic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition: Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.”

As of February 28, 2014 and 2013, 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, 2014 and 2013, there were no progress payments that had been netted against inventory.

Note 8. 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 Company’s common stock may be granted and up to 100,000 restricted common stock shares may be awarded. Options may not be granted at a price less than the fair market value, determined on the day the options are granted. Options granted to a participant who is the owner of ten percent or more of the common stock of the Company may not be granted at a price less than 110% of the fair market value, determined on the day the options are granted. The exercise price of each option granted is fixed and may not be re-priced. The life of each option granted is determined by the plan administrator, but may not exceed the lesser of five years from the date the participant has the vested right to exercise the option, or seven years from the date of the grant. The life of an option granted to a participant who is the owner of ten percent or more of the common stock of the Company may not exceed five years from the date of grant. All full-time or part-time employees, and Directors of the Company, are eligible for participation in the Plan. In addition, any consultant or advisor who renders bona fide services to the Company, other than in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction, is eligible for participation in the Plan. The plan administrator is appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company, and must include two or more outside, independent Directors of the Company. The Plan may be terminated by action of the Board of Directors, but in any event will terminate on the tenth anniversary of its effective date.

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

Information regarding the stock option plans is as follows:

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