Exhibit 10.1
STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
     THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is effective as of March 1, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), between VIDEO DISPLAY CORPORATION, a Georgia corporation (“Seller”), and FI ACQUISITION LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“Purchaser”).
     WHEREAS, Seller owns all of the outstanding capital stock (the “Fox Shares”) of Fox International Ltd., Inc., an Ohio corporation (“Fox”); and
     WHEREAS, Seller wishes to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser wishes to purchase from Seller, all of the Fox Shares, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants and conditions contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
     1. Purchase and Sale of Fox Shares. Seller hereby agrees to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase from Seller, the Fox Shares on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
     2. Purchase Price and Payment. The total purchase price for the Fox Shares (the “Purchase Price”) shall be equal to Three Million Five Hundred Twenty-Three Thousand Eight Hundred Seventy-Seven Dollars ($3,523,877). The Purchase Price shall consist of: (a) Eight Hundred Thousand (800,000) shares of Seller’s common stock, no par value (the “VDC Shares”), with a value of Three Million Two Hundred Seventy-Two Thousand Dollars ($3,272,000), based on the February 22, 2011 closing price of $4.09 per share, as quoted on NASDAQ; and (b) Two Hundred Fifty-One Thousand Eight Hundred Seventy-Seven Dollars ($251,877) payable in cash or other immediately available funds (the “Cash Payment”). The Purchase Price is equal to the net book value shown on the February 28, 2011 audited financial statements of Fox, which indicate total assets of $6,408,589 and liabilities not exceeding $2,884,712, as set forth more fully on attached Exhibit A.
     3. Closing. The transfer of ownership of the Fox Shares and payment of the Purchase Price shall be deemed to take place for accounting purposes on March 1, 2011, to coincide with the start of the fiscal year of Seller. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller the Cash Payment and all certificates representing the VDC Shares, and Seller shall promptly deliver to Purchaser all certificates representing the Fox Shares, in each case duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by a duly executed stock transfer power.
     4. Profit Participation. For a period of sixty (60) days after the Effective Date (the “Profit Participation Period”), Seller shall be entitled to one-half (1/2) of all net profits from any sale by Purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of Fox, provided that such sale must be consummated within the Profit Participation Period.

The securities may not be sold, transferred or assigned in the absence of an effective registration statement for the securities under the Act or applicable state securities laws, or an opinion of counsel, satisfactory in form, substance and scope to the issuer of the securities, that registration is not required under the Act or applicable state securities laws.
          (d) No Violation. The execution and performance of this Agreement do not violate, result in the breach of, or constitute a default under any applicable law or regulation, the Articles of Organization or Operating Agreement of Purchaser, or any order, judgment or decree of any court or governmental agency.
          (e) Due Diligence Inspection. Purchaser has had full and complete access to all material financial, operating and legal information concerning the business and operations of Fox, and is purchasing the Fox Shares with knowledge of all such material information.
