Note 1. — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
          The 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 the 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, 2010, as filed with the Commission. There are no material changes in accounting policy during the six months ended August 31, 2010.
          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, 2010 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 September 30, 2010, the Company and RBC Bank signed an amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement that extended the $17 million line of credit (“LOC”) and the Company’s subsidiary Fox International’s $3.5 million LOC to November 30, 2010. The original agreement dated September 26, 2008, was due to expire on June 30, 2010. The Company had previously signed an amendment on May 24, 2010, which had extended the original agreement to September 30, 2010.
          The Company is negotiating an agreement with RBC Bank for a new senior secured credit facility. The bank has indicated its intentions to renew with Video Display Corporation and secured a partner to syndicate the loans. The $24.0 million facility is expected to have three parts, a $17.5 million LOC, a $3.5 million equipment term loan for 5 years, and a $3.0 million real estate term loan for 15 years. The LOC is for a period of 35 months. Pricing will be based on a fixed charge cover ratio test, with a minimum interest rate of 4% and will be adjusted quarterly based on the current quarterly fixed charge cover ratio test with the minimum of 4% in effect.
          If the Company is unable to refinance its debt with RBC or another financial institution, the bank could exercise its rights against the collateral granted under the terms of the loan agreement. The Company cannot guarantee it will have sufficient assets and funds to repay the borrowings under the debt agreements if this occurs. Management believes it will be successful in its negotiations with the lenders in securing a new loan agreement; however, there can be no assurance an agreement can be reached.
Note 3. — Recent Accounting Pronouncements
          In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after September 15, 2009. “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (FASB ASC) establishes the source of authoritative accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date, the FASB ASC superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the ASC became non-authoritative. The FASB updates or modifies the FASB ASC

through FASB Accounting Standards Updates (“FASB ASU” or “Update”). Our adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
          In June 2009, the FASB issued revised guidance to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements. These revisions to FASB ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation,” are effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
          In December 2009, the FASB issued revised guidance FASB ASU 2009-17, “Consolidations” (Topic 810) — Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities,” which codifies FASB Statement No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”. FASB ASC 2009-17 represents a revision to former FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, to require an enterprise to qualitatively assess the determination of the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (VIE) based on whether the entity (1) has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In addition, FASB ASC 2009-17 requires an ongoing reconsideration of the primary beneficiary, and amends the events that trigger a reassessment of whether an entity is a VIE. Enhanced disclosures are also required to provide information about an enterprise’s involvement in a VIE. FASB ASC 2009-17 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after November 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
          In January 2010, the FASB issued revised guidance FASB ASU 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures — Overall Subtopic” (Subtopic 820-10) to improve disclosure requirements for Fair Value Measurements. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
          In February 2010, the FASB issued revised guidance FASB ASU 2010-09, “Subsequent Events” (Topic 855) to amend Subtopic 855-10. Among the provisions of the amendments is the removal for public companies of the requirement to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated. All of the amendments in this Update are effective upon issuance of the final Update for most filers. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

    (489 )     (880 )
 
           
 
  $ 2,975     $ 3,209  
 
           
          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, 2010 and February 28, 2010, 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, 2010 and February 28, 2010, there were no progress payments that had been netted against inventory.

Note 8. — Lines of Credit
          On September 26, 2008, the Company executed a Loan and Security Agreement with RBC Bank to provide a $17 million line of credit to the Company and a $3.5 million line of credit to the Company’s subsidiary Fox International, Ltd. As of August 31, 2010, the outstanding balances of these lines of credit were $16.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The available amounts for borrowing were $0.6 million and $0.0 million, respectively. These loans are secured by all assets and personal property of the Company. The agreement contains covenants, including requirements related to tangible cash flow, ratio of debt to cash flow and asset coverage. The agreement also includes restrictions on the incurrence of additional debt or liens, investments (including Company stock), divestitures and certain other changes in the business. The $17 million line of credit was extended to November 30, 2010, and accordingly is classified under short-term liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet. The Company’s subsidiary, Fox International, Ltd agreement was also extended through November 30, 2010, and is classified in short term liabilities. The interest rate on these loans is a floating LIBOR rate based on a fixed charge coverage ratio, minimum 4.0%, as defined in the loan documents.
          In conjunction with the Loan and Security Agreement, the syndicate also executed a $1.7 million term note with the Company repayable in 32 monthly increments of $50,000 each through July 1, 2011, and the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company personally provided a $6.0 million subordinated term note to the Company. See related party information in Note 13 below.
          As described in Note 2, on September 30, 2010, the Company and RBC Bank signed an amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement that extended the $17 million line of credit and the Company’s subsidiary Fox International’s $3.5 million line of credit to November 30, 2010. The original agreement dated September 26, 2008, was due to expire on June 30, 2010. The Company had previously signed an amendment on May 24, 2010, which had extended the original agreement to September 30, 2010. Although the Company is in active negotiations to secure a new financing arrangement with its current or alternative lenders, no assurance can be given that an arrangement will be reached.

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.
          The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands, except per share data):

Stock-Based Compensation Plans
          For the six-month period ended August 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized general and administrative expenses of $19,134 and $11,514 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, 2010, total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options granted was $51,149. The unrecognized stock option compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a period of approximately 2 years.
          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.

          Three members of the board of directors were each granted 3,000 stock options during the six month period ended August 31, 2010 and two members of the board of directors were each granted 3,000 stock options in the six months ended August 31, 2009.
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, 2010. The Loan and Security Agreement executed by the Company on September 26, 2008 included restrictions on investments that restricted further repurchases of stock under this program. RBC Bank granted a limited exception to these restrictions, allowing the Company to purchase unlimited shares providing the company meets the covenants in the loan agreement. Under the amendment to the credit agreement signed on August 25, 2009, repurchases are subject to prior written bank approval. For the six months ended August 31, 2010, no treasury shares were repurchased, and during the six months ended August 31, 2009, the Company repurchased 229,037 shares at an average price of $1.50 per share, which have been added to treasury shares on the consolidated balance sheet.
Note 12. – Income Taxes
          The effective tax rate for the six months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 was 33.2% and 22.9%, 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 $33,333 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. The balance outstanding under this loan agreement was approximately $2.4 million at August 31, 2010 and $2.8 million at February 28, 2010. Interest paid during the quarter ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 on this note was $56,842 and $47,584, respectively and interest paid for the six months ending August 31, 2010 and August 31, 2009 was $116,311 and $89,058, respectively.
          The Company had a demand note outstanding from another officer, bearing interest at 8%. Interest paid on the demand note for the six months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 was $3,641 and $7,473 respectively. The note was paid in full during the quarter ending August 31, 2010. The balance outstanding on this note was $116,000 at February 28, 2010.
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 has paid the $1.0 million Note Payable. The Company is disputing certain representations made by Clinton in the APA including but not limited to representations concerning revenue, expenses, and inventory. As a result of this dispute, the Company has not issued the stock certificates scheduled for delivery January of 2008 and January of 2009. As such, the Company has accrued a potential liability of $1,625,000 and this accrued liability is reflected in the Company’s current Balance Schedule.
          Pursuant to the terms of the APA, the Company and Clinton have agreed to arbitrate the dispute in Atlanta, Georgia. A time has not been set for the arbitration. Based on information currently available, the ultimate outcome of this disputed matter is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations. However, the ultimate outcome cannot be predicted with certainty, and there can be no assurance that the Company’s failure to prevail would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
Note 15. – Subsequent Events
          On September 14th 2010, the Company entered into a Preliminary Agreement to purchase a significant minority percentage ownership in an Arkansas based camera manufacturer, Vision Technologies, Inc. (VTI) as reported in a press release on September 29, 2010. Negotiations continue on the preliminary agreement, however there can be no assurances a final agreement will be completed.

statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
          The Company is a worldwide leader in the manufacture and distribution of a wide range of display devices, encompassing, among others, industrial, military, medical, and simulation display solutions. The Company is comprised of two segments — (1) the manufacture and distribution of monitors, projection systems, and CRT displays (“Display Segment”) and (2) the wholesale distribution of consumer electronic parts from foreign and domestic manufacturers (“Wholesale Distribution Segment”).
          The Display Segment is organized into four interrelated operations aggregated into one reportable segment pursuant to the aggregation criteria of FASB ASC Topic 280 “Segment Reporting”:
    Monitors – offers a 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.
          The Wholesale Distribution Segment is made up of parts distribution for electronic parts manufacturers and a call center for small appliance manufacturers.
          During fiscal 2011, management of the Company is focusing key resources on strategic efforts to dispose of unprofitable operations, seek opportunities that enhance the profitability and sales growth of the Company’s more profitable product lines and to secure a long term financing package to support the Companies goals. In addition, the Company plans to seek new products through acquisitions and internal development that complement existing profitable product lines. Challenges facing the Company during these efforts include:
          Inventory management – The Company continually monitors historical sales trends as well as projected future needs to ensure adequate on hand supplies of inventory and to mitigate the risk of overstocking slower moving, obsolete items. The Company’s inventories decreased particularly in the Display division due to several last time sales made this year.
          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 250 days, although in many cases the Company would anticipate holding 90 to 100 days of inventory in the normal course of operations. This level of inventory is higher than some of the 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, 2010 and February 28, 2010, believes its reserves to be adequate.

          Interest rate exposure – The Company had outstanding debt of $23.6 million as of August 31, 2010, 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.
          Liquidity –If the Company is unable to refinance with our current bank or others, we could be exposed to the risk of the bank exercising its rights against the collateral under the terms of the loan. If the Company is unable to refinance with a commercial bank, we could be exposed to the risk of increased interest rates.

August 31, 2010
          The net increase in Display Segment sales for the three months ended August 31, 2010 is primarily attributed to the monitor and display divisions, as compared to the same period ended August 31, 2009. The Monitor revenues increased $4.8 million for the three month comparable period and increased $8.7 million over the six-month period primarily due to the initial fulfillment of orders against long term contracts. The display revenues increased $0.6 for the comparable three month period due to large orders for last time buys from the Data divisions customers on selected CRTS and decreased $0.6 to the comparable six-month period primarily due to the sluggish CRT orders in the flight simulation segment of the business.
Gross margins
          Consolidated gross margins increased by 24.2% for the three months ended August 31, 2010 over the three months ended August 31, 2009 despite a drop in the gross margin percent of 1.1%. The consolidated gross margin increased by 17.3% for the six months ended August 31, 2010 over the six months ended August 31, 2009 due to the increased sales while gross profit margins declined 3.1%.
          Display segment margins increased by 29.8% for the three month period ended August 31, 2010 over the comparable three month period ended August 31, 2009 and increased by 34.2% for the six month period ended August 31, 2010 over the comparative six month period ended August 31, 2009 due to the increased sales volume. The major growth came from the Company’s Monitor division, which saw its gross margin dollars increase by 58.9% for the six months ended August 31, 2010 and its gross margin percentage increase from 26.0% to 28.2%. For the three months ended August 31, 2010 the Monitor division’s gross margin dollars increased by 35.8% compared to the three months ended August 31, 2009 while its gross margin percentage dipped to 27.3% from 29.7%. The Monitor division’s increases are attributable to the beginning of shipments on a number of long term contracts. Data Display division gross margins increased by 33.1% for the three month comparable period ended August 31, 2010, but decreased by 19.4% for the six months ended August 31, 2010 compared to the six months ended August 31, 2009, due to the impact of the decreased margins at the both of the Company’s display facilities. 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. The Company has reduced the net book value of the Entertainment division in anticipation of its closure and does not anticipate a material loss when the division is closed.
          The Wholesale Distribution segment margins increased by 15.5% for the comparable three month period ended August 31, 2010 and decreased by 3.3% for the comparable six month period ended August 31, 2010. The gross margin percentages also increased from 47.1% to 54.4% for the three months comparable period ended August 31, 2010 and decreased from 54.4% to 46.5% for the comparable six month period ended August 31, 2010 due to the changes in customer and product mix.

          Operating expenses as a percentage of sales decreased from 33.7% to 24.0% for the three month comparable period ended August 31, 2010 and decreased from 34.4% for the six months ended August 31, 2009 to 24.9% for the six months ended August 31, 2010. Actual operating expenses decreased by 7.3% from the prior year for the six month period ended August 31, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to lower legal fees, research and development fees, and lower amortization costs of intangibles. The Company was also able to control other fixed costs, such as rent and other administrative costs on increased sales volume. The Company expects to continue to contain costs while increasing revenue.
          Display segment operating expenses decreased from 26.0% to 16.3% of net sales for the three month comparable period ended August 31, 2010 and from 26.3% to 17.4% for the six month period as compared to the comparable prior year period.

          Wholesale Distribution segment operating expenses decreased from 52.2% to 50.5% of net sales for the three month comparable period ended August 31, 2010 and were decreased from 53.7% to 46.3% for the six month period a year ago, primarily due to a reduction in selling expenses to operate the call center.
Interest expense
          Interest expense decreased 5.4% for the three month comparable period ended August 31, 2010 due to decreased borrowings as business conditions improved and increased by 17.1% for the six months ended August 31, 2010 as compared to the same period a year ago due to increased borrowings for inventory primarily in the first quarter. The Company maintains various debt agreements with different interest rates, most of which are based on the prime rate or LIBOR. The interest expense reflects higher average borrowings outstanding and higher average interest rates.
Income taxes
          The effective tax rate for the three months ended August 31, 2010 and August 31, 2009 was 30.7% and (36.8%), respectively and for the six months ended August 31, 2010 and August 31, 2009 was 33.2% and 22.9%, 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 tax credits.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
          As of August 31, 2010, the Company had total cash of $1.3 million. The Company’s working capital was $23.0 million and $21.8 million at August 31, 2010 and February 28, 2010, respectively. In recent years, the Company has financed its growth and cash needs primarily through income from operations, borrowings under revolving credit facilities, advances from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and long-term debt. Liquidity provided by operating activities of the Company is reduced by working capital requirements, largely inventories and accounts receivable, debt service, capital expenditures, product line additions and dividends.
          The Company specializes in certain products representing trailing-edge technology that may not be available from other sources, and may not be currently manufactured. In many instances, the Company’s products are components of larger display systems for which immediate availability is critical for the customer. Accordingly, the Company enjoys higher gross margins on certain products, but typically has larger investments in inventories than those of its competitors.
          On September 30, 2010, the Company and RBC Bank signed an amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement that extended the $17 million line of credit and the Company’s subsidiary Fox International’s $3.5 million line of credit to November 30, 2010. The original agreement dated September 26, 2008, was due to expire on June 30, 2010. The Company had previously signed an amendment on May 24, 2010 that had extended the original agreement to September 30, 2010.
               The Company is negotiating an agreement with RBC Bank for a new senior secured credit facility. The bank has indicated its intentions to renew with Video Display Corporation and has secured a partner to syndicate the loans. The $24.0 million facility is expected to have three parts, a $17.5 million LOC, a $3.5 million equipment term loan for 5 years, and a $3.0 million real estate term loan for 15 years. The LOC is for a period of 35 months. Pricing will be based on a fixed charge cover ratio test, with a minimum interest rate of 4% and will be adjusted quarterly based on the current quarterly fixed charge cover ratio test with the minimum of 4% in effect.
          If the Company is unable to refinance its debt with RBC or another financial institution, the bank could exercise its rights against the collateral granted under the terms of the loan agreement. The Company cannot guarantee it will have sufficient assets and funds to repay the borrowings under the debt agreements if this occurs. Management believes it will

be successful in its negotiations with the lenders in securing a new loan agreement; however, there can be no assurance an agreement can be reached.
          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, 2010 was $2.2 million as compared to cash provided by operations of $1.0 million for the six months ended August 31, 2009. This net increase in cash provided is primarily the result of an increase in profitability from $0.2 million for the six months ended August 31, 2009 to $1.9 million for the six months ended August 31, 2010.
          Investing activities used cash of $0.3 million primarily for purchases of equipment during the six months ended August 31, 2010, compared to cash used of $0.4 million during the six months ended August 31, 2009 primarily related to a license agreement.
          Financing activities used cash of $1.1 million for the six months ended August 31, 2010, due to net repayments against the line of credit and to the Company’s officers, compared to cash used of $0.2 million for the six months ended August 31, 2009, reflecting borrowings on the line of credit, the purchase of treasury stock offset by additional borrowing from 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 May 31, 2010. The Loan and Security Agreement executed by the Company on September 26, 2008 included restrictions on investments that restricted further repurchases of stock under this program. The bank granted a limited exception to these restrictions, allowing the Company to purchase unlimited shares providing the company meets the covenants in the loan agreement. Under the amendment to the credit agreement signed on August 25, 2009, repurchases are subject to prior written bank approval. For the six months ended August 31, 2010, no treasury shares were repurchased, and during the six months ended August 31, 2009, the Company repurchased 229, 037 shares at an average price of $1.50 per share, which have been added to treasury shares on the consolidated balance sheet.
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:

22

August 31, 2010
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 OEMs, 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 fiscal 2011 and 2010; 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 statements of operations. Shipping and handling costs incurred are classified in selling and delivery in the consolidated statements of operations.
          A portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from contracts to manufacture 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.
          The Wholesale Distribution Segment has several distribution agreements that it accounts for using the gross revenue basis and one agreement that uses the net revenue basis as prescribed by FASB ASC Topic 605-45 “Revenue Recognition: Principal Agent Considerations”. The Company uses the gross method because the Company has general inventory risk, physical loss inventory risk and credit risk on the majority of its agreements but uses the net method on the one agreement because it does not have those same risks for that agreement. The call center service revenue is recognized based on written pricing agreements with each manufacturer, on a per-call, per-email, or per-standard-mail basis.
Allowance for 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 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

August 31, 2010
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 June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after September 15, 2009. “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (FASB ASC) establishes the source of authoritative accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date, the FASB ASC superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the ASC became non-authoritative. The FASB updates or modifies the FASB ASC through FASB Accounting Standards Updates (“FASB ASU” or “Update”). Our adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
          In June 2009, the FASB issued revised guidance to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements. These revisions to FASB ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation,” are effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
          In December 2009, the FASB issued revised guidance FASB ASU 2009-17, “Consolidations” (Topic 810) – Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities,” which codifies FASB Statement No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”. FASB ASC 2009-17 represents a revision to former FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, to require an enterprise to qualitatively assess the determination of the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (VIE) based on whether the entity (1) has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In addition, FASB ASC 2009-17 requires an ongoing reconsideration of the primary beneficiary, and amends the events that trigger a reassessment of whether an entity is a VIE. Enhanced disclosures are also required to provide information about an enterprise’s involvement in a VIE. FASB ASC 2009-17 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after November 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
          In January 2010, the FASB issued revised guidance FASB ASU 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall Subtopic” (Subtopic 820-10) to improve disclosure requirements for Fair Value Measurements. The new disclosures

and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
          In February 2010, the FASB issued revised guidance FASB ASU 2010-09, “Subsequent Events” (Topic 855) to amend Subtopic 855-10. Among the provisions of the amendments is the removal for public companies of the requirement to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated. All of the amendments in this Update are effective upon issuance of the final Update for most filers. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

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 $23.6 million of outstanding debt at August 31, 2010 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, 2010. 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, 2010. 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, 2010.
Changes in Internal Controls
          There have not been any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II
Item 1. 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 has paid the $1.0 million Note Payable. The Company is disputing certain representations made by Clinton in the APA including but not limited to representations concerning revenue, expenses, and inventory. As a result of this dispute, the Company has not issued the stock certificates scheduled for delivery January of 2008 and January of 2009. As such, the Company has accrued a potential liability of $1,625,000 and this accrued liability is reflected in the Company’s current Balance Schedule.
          Pursuant to the terms of the APA, the Company and Clinton have agreed to arbitrate the dispute in Atlanta, Georgia. A time has not been set for the arbitration. Based on information currently available, the ultimate outcome of this disputed matter is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations. However, the ultimate outcome cannot be predicted with certainty, and there can be no assurance that the Company’s failure to prevail would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
