Note 1. – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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

As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or “Commission”) instructions to Form 10-Q, the following footnotes have been condensed and, therefore, do not contain all disclosures required in connection with annual consolidated financial statements. Reference should be made to the Company’s year-end consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, including a description of the accounting policies followed by the Company, contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013, as filed with the Commission. There are no material changes in accounting policy during the nine months ended November 30, 2013.

The consolidated 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, 2013 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 August 30, 2013, Video Display Corporation (the “Company”) completed the sale of the majority 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 in an escrow account until August 30, 2014. The Company shows this as restricted cash on its November 30, 2013 balance sheet. The Company used the proceeds to pay-off the line of credit, one of its term loans and partially pay down its second term loan with the syndicate of PNC Bank and Community & Southern Bank.

On September 6, 2013, PNC Bank and Community & Southern Bank entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement whereby Community & Southern Bank purchased all of PNC Bank’s rights and obligations under the original Credit Agreement signed on December 23, 2010 between PNC Bank, Community & Southern Bank and Video Display Corporation. Concurrently, Community & Southern Bank and Video Display Corporation entered into the Sixth Amendment to the Credit Agreement and Waiver. The agreement took the remaining balance of the Term Loan A, $1.2 million and re-allocated the Aydin payment such that the outstanding balance of Term Loan A is $1.4 million, terminated the Revolving Loan Commitment, terminated Term Loan B, waived any existing defaults, adjusted the interest rate to 5% (from current 9%), suspended regular Term Loan A Payments, required the Company to pay any working capital adjustment received from the Aydin transaction towards Term Loan A when received, and suspended all financial covenants. On November 27, 2013, Video Display Corporation and Community & Southern Bank entered into the Seventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement. The Amendment set the maturity date of the remaining term loan as the earlier of August 31, 2014 or the sale of any stock, or all, or any material portion of the assets of the Company. The restriction limiting the amount of the Company’s common stock eligible to be repurchased remains at ten percent of the Company’s net earnings after taxes per the third amendment to the Credit Agreement.

Management believes conditions are improving, and as mentioned above, the debt with the banks has been reduced to $1.4 million with the proceeds of the sale of Aydin Displays, and the Company has seen significant activity in new quotes and business won. VDC Display Systems has a number of large quotes outstanding which they expect to win

in the near future. Additionally, AYON Visual Solutions, a division of the Company, was profitable in the third quarter and has seen increased activity via a number of quotes which should become orders in the fourth quarter of this fiscal year.

Management continues to explore opportunities for potential mergers, spinoffs, or other methods of enhancing shareholder value. In the absence of obtaining new funding and/or any potential mergers, spinoffs, sale of the Company as a whole or any other method, management believes continuing and newly generated business as well as the CEO’s commitment to infuse additional capital, if needed, will sustain the Company going forward.

The outstanding balance of the line of credit at November 30, 2013 was $0.0 million and the balances of the term loans were $1.4 million and $0.0 million, respectively. The outstanding balance on the line of credit at February 28, 2013 was $9.9 million and the balances of the term loans were $2.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively. These loans are secured by all assets and personal property of the Company and a limited guarantee of the Chief Executive Officer of $3.0 million. The remaining term loan is secured by real estate property of the Company and a building owned by Southeastern Metro Savings, LLC, a company in which the Company’s Chief Executive Officer is a minority owner. The building will continue to be in the collateral pool until such time as the note is sufficiently paid down or it is replaced by other collateral.

Note 3. – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the FASB amended Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Income Taxes.” The amendment provides guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit, as either a reduction of a deferred tax asset or as a liability, when a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward exists. The amendments will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and may be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Note 4. - Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or market.

Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

 

		November 30,				February 28,
		2013				2013

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

Information relative to contracts in progress consisted of the following:

 

		February 28,
		2013
Costs incurred to date on uncompleted contracts		$	816
Estimated earnings recognized to date on these contracts			268
			1,084
Billings to date			(1,017	)
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, net		$	67
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings		$	108
Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings			(41	)
		$	67

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 November 30, 2013 VDC Display Systems did not have any open contracts in progress and the Aydin Displays division had been sold. The February 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 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 November 30, 2013 and February 28, 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 November 30, 2013 and February 28, 2013, there were no progress payments that had been netted against inventory.

Note 10. – Shareholder’s Equity

Earnings Per Share

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

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

For the nine-month period ended November 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized general and administrative expenses of $5.9 thousand and $7.7 thousand, respectively, related to share-based compensation. The liability for the share-based compensation recognized is presented in the consolidated balance sheets as part of additional paid in capital. As of November 30, 2013, total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options granted was $10.9 thousand. The unrecognized stock option compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a period of approximately two 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 nine-month period ended November 30, 2013.

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. The Company did not repurchase any shares in the nine months ended November 30, 2013. For the nine months ended November 30, 2012, the Company repurchased 22,031 shares at an average price of $4.10 per share. Under the Company’s stock repurchase program, an additional 705,106 shares remain authorized to be repurchased by the Company at November 30, 2013. The Credit Agreement executed by the Company on December 23, 2010 included restrictions on investments that restricted further repurchases of stock under this program. On September 1, 2011, the Agreement was amended to allow the Company to repurchase a limited amount of the Company’s common stock, equal to ten percent of the Company’s net earnings after taxes subject to meeting certain share repurchase conditions.

Note 11. – Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for continuing operations the nine months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 was 32.1% and 37.7%, 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 12. – Related Party Transactions

The Company has made various borrowings from the Company’s CEO since February 2013 with an interest rate of eight percent. The Company has repaid these loans as of November 30, 2013.

The Company’s CEO provides a portion of the collateral for the term loan with the Community & Southern Bank. (See Note 8 – Lines of Credit)

Note 13. – 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 Company recognized a gain on the sale of the Aydin assets of $2.9 million. 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.

As noted above, the Company sold its Aydin Displays, Inc. subsidiary on August 30, 2013 and has signed an agreement to sell its Z-Axis, Inc. subsidiary. The sale of the Z-Axis subsidiary is expected to take place on January 16, 2014 for approximately ten million dollars for cash and a one million dollar note payable. Both of these companies’ net

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached interim condensed consolidated financial statements and with the Company’s 2013 10-K Report, which included audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013, as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

The Company is a worldwide leader in the manufacturing and distribution of a wide range of display devices, encompassing, among others, industrial, military, medical, and simulation display solutions. The Company is comprised of one segment - the manufacturing and distribution of displays and display components. The Company is organized into two 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.

During fiscal 2014, management of the Company is focusing key resources on strategic efforts to dispose of operations that will enhance the value of the Company and seek opportunities when they present themselves that enhance the profitability and sales growth of the Company’s more profitable product lines. The Company continues to seek new products through 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 have decreased throughout all of its divisions during the current fiscal year. The Company has reduced inventories by over two million dollars at its Lexel and Data Displays divisions, the two divisions primarily responsible for CRT sales. The Company has reduced inventories throughout the other divisions by over one million dollars by better management of the procurement process. These amounts do not include Aydin Displays, the division which was sold during the current 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 approximately 290 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 November 30, 2013 and February 28, 2013, believes its reserves to be adequate.

Net sales

The Company sold its Aydin Display, Inc. subsidiary on August 30, 2013 and announced its intention to sell its Z-Axis, Inc. subsidiary on October 4, 2013. Both of these companies’ net sales, expenses and net profits are being shown as discontinued operations per ASC 205-20-45 “Reporting Discontinued Operations” and, therefore, are not included in the continuing operations discussed here. See Footnote 14 of the Financial Statements.

Consolidated net sales from continuing operations increased 26.5% from $13.6 million for the nine months ending November 30, 2012 to $17.2 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2013.The increase in sales was the result of increases at all of the four remaining businesses in the Monitor Division. AYON Visual Solutions, which the Company started in July 2011, saw its start-up efforts being rewarded with over two million dollars in sales year-to-date and expects to end the year with sales of over three million dollars. Lexel Imaging, the Company’s manufacturer of CRT products saw its sales increase 21.5% over the comparable nine-month period due to increased orders from their overseas customers and the military. VDC Display Systems had a small increase over last year of 2.6%. The Company’s other business unit in the Monitor Division, AYON CyberSecurity, showed an increase of 6.2%. The Company has acquired significant new orders at VDC Display Systems with new and existing customers and expects business to improve over last year. AYON CyberSecurity should finish the fiscal year with higher revenues than the last two quarters.

Gross margins

Consolidated gross margins decreased by $468 thousand or 30.4% for the nine months ended November 30, 2013 over the nine months ended November 30, 2012. Gross margins as a percent to sales also decreased due to product mix and the make-up of the remaining divisions. The gross margin as a percent to sales decreased from 11.4% for the nine months ended November 30, 2012 to 6.3% for the nine months ended November 30, 2013. Three of the four remaining companies in the Monitor Division typically have lower margins than the two companies included in discontinued operations. AYON Visual Solutions is a distributor of command and control visualization products and as a distributor does not generate the types of margins of a manufacturer. AYON CyberSecurity has been operating on small margins to grow their business and gain name recognition. The third division or subsidiary in this group with lower margins is Lexel Imaging, a CRT manufacturer, and their margins are a function of product mix and manufacturing efficiency.

AYON CyberSecurity is the only one with negative gross margins due to the division’s inability to cover its fixed costs. Management is working with this group to improve their cost structure and increase revenues. VDC Display Systems had a gross margin percentage to sales of 15.6% for the nine months ended November 30, 2013, but it is down from 23.9% from the same period last year. Much of this is also fixed cost absorption. Both divisions need stronger revenues to absorb their fixed costs, AYON CyberSecurity needs to improve the margins on the products they sell and increase efficiencies in their manufacturing processes. We are working towards these goals.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses as a percentage of sales decreased from 31.9% to 22.4% for the comparable nine months ended November 30, 2013. Actual expenses decreased by $0.5 million for the nine month period. These reductions in expenses were primarily due to reductions in personnel as the Company right sized the operations for the changes within the Company.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased 37.5% for the nine-month comparable period ended November 30, 2013 to $0.7 million compared to $0.5 million for the same period last year. The increase was due to a higher interest rate imposed by the bank because the Company was in violation of its covenants during the first and second quarters of the current year. The Company currently has a term loan with Community and Southern Bank of $1.35 million and a mortgage on a building in Pennsylvania, $0.3 million. The interest rate on the term loan is now 5%, down from 9%. The Company expects lower interest costs going forward due to the lower rate and outstanding balance.

Income taxes

The effective tax rate for continuing operations the nine months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 was 32.1% and 37.7%, respectively. These rates differ from the Federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of state taxes, the permanent non-deductibility of certain expenses for tax purposes, and research and experimentation credits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On August 30, 2013, Video Display Corporation (the “Company”) completed the sale of the majority of the assets and the transfer of specified liabilities of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Aydin Displays Inc. (“Aydin”). Aydin was 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 Company used the proceeds to pay-off the line of credit, one of its term loans and partially pay down its second term loan with the syndicate of PNC Bank and Community & Southern Bank.

On September 6, 2013, PNC Bank and Community & Southern Bank entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement whereby Community & Southern Bank purchased all of PNC Bank’s rights and obligations under the original Credit Agreement signed on December 23, 2010 between PNC Bank, Community & Southern Bank and Video Display Corporation. Concurrently, Community & Southern Bank and Video Display Corporation entered into the Sixth Amendment to the Credit Agreement and Waiver. The agreement took the remaining balance of the Term Loan A, $1.2 million and re-allocated the Aydin payment such that the outstanding balance of Term Loan A is $1.4 million, terminated the Revolving Loan Commitment, terminated Term Loan B, waived any existing defaults, adjusted the interest rate to 5% (from current 9%), suspended regular Term Loan A Payments, required the Company to pay any working capital adjustment received from the Aydin transaction towards Term Loan A when received, and suspended all financial covenants. On November 27, 2013, Video Display Corporation and Community & Southern Bank entered into the Seventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement. The Amendment set the maturity date of the remaining term loan as the earlier of August 31, 2014 or the sale of any stock, or all, or any material portion of the assets of the Company. The restriction limiting the amount of the Company’s common stock eligible to be repurchased remains at ten percent of the Company’s net earnings after taxes per the third amendment to the Credit Agreement.

The outstanding balance of the line of credit at November 30, 2013 was $0.0 million and the balances of the term loans were $1.4 million and $0.0 million, respectively. The outstanding balance on the line of credit at February 28, 2013 was $9.9 million and the balances of the term loans were $2.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively. These loans are secured by all assets and personal property of the Company and a limited guarantee of the Chief Executive Officer of $3.0 million. The term loan is secured by real estate property of the Company and a building owned by Southeastern Metro Savings, LLC, a company in which the Company’s Chief Executive Officer is a minority owner. The building will continue to be in the collateral pool until such time as the note is sufficiently paid down or it is replaced by other collateral.

The Company continues to monitor its cash and financing positions seeking to find ways 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. The intent is to finance such projects with proceeds from the sale of divisions and operating cash flows; however, more permanent sources of capital may be required in certain circumstances.

Cash used by operations for the nine months ended November 30, 2013 was $0.6 million. Net income from operations provided $0.6 million and adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash were $1.3 million including income from discontinued operations, net of tax of $0.6 million, a gain on the sale of assets ($1.9 million, net of tax) and gain on sale of assets ($0.4 million) offset by changes in depreciation ($0.4 million), deferred taxes ($0.6 million), accounts receivable reserves and inventory reserves ($0.8 million) and other adjustments ($0.2 million). Changes in working capital used $0.9 million primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable of $2.9 million, an increase in deferred revenue of $0.6 million, a decrease in inventories of $2.4 million, a decrease in accounts receivable of $1.3 million, an increase in refundable income taxes of $0.2 million, and an increase in prepaid expenses of $0.3 million. Cash provided by operations for the nine months ended November 30, 2012 was $1.1 million.

Investing activities provided cash of $15.4 million due to the sale of the assets of Aydin Displays, Inc. and the sale of the Company’s property in Bossier City, LA offset by capital expenditures of $0.1 million. Cash used by investing activities for the nine months ended November 30, 2012 was $0.3 million.

Financing activities used cash of $13.7 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2013, due to the pay-off of the Company’s line of credit, a term loan, the pay down of the remaining term loan with PNC Bank and Community & Southern bank and the pay-off of a note payable to the Company’s CEO. Cash used by financing activities for the nine months ended November 30, 2012 was $0.7 million.

The Company’s debt agreement with Community & Southern Bank was amended on September 6, 2013 and again on November 27, 2013. All financial covenants are suspended until the end of the current agreement, August 31, 2014.

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. For the six months ended August 31, 2012, the Company repurchased 22,031 shares at an average price of $4.10 per share. The Company did not repurchase any shares in the nine months ended November 30, 2013. Under the Company’s stock repurchase program, an additional 705,106 shares remain authorized to be repurchased by the Company at November 30, 2013. The Credit Agreement executed by the Company on December 23, 2010 included restrictions on investments that restricted further repurchases of stock under this program. On September 1, 2011, the Agreement was amended to allow the Company to repurchase a limited amount of the Company’s common stock, equal to ten percent of the Company’s net earnings after taxes subject to meeting certain share repurchase conditions.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. The accounting policies that may involve a higher degree of judgments, estimates, and complexity include reserves on inventories, revenue recognition, the allowance for bad debts and warranty reserves. The Company uses the following methods and assumptions in determining its estimates:

Reserves on inventories

Reserves on inventories result in a charge to operations when the estimated net realizable value declines below cost. Management regularly reviews the Company’s investment in inventories for declines in value and establishes reserves when it is apparent that the expected net realizable value of the inventory falls below its carrying amount. Management considers the projected demand for CRTs in this estimate of net realizable value. Management is able to identify consumer-buying trends, such as size and application, well in advance of supplying replacement CRTs. Thus, the Company is able to adjust inventory-stocking levels according to the projected demand. The average life of a CRT is five to seven years, at which time the Company’s replacement market develops. Management reviews inventory levels on a quarterly basis. Such reviews include observations of product development trends of the original equipment manufacturers, new products being marketed, and technological advances relative to the product capabilities of the Company’s existing inventories. There were no significant changes in management’s estimates in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013; however, the Company cannot guarantee the accuracy of future forecasts since these estimates are subject to change based on market conditions.

Revenue recognition

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

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605-45 “Revenue Recognition: Principal Agent Considerations”, shipping and handling fees billed to customers are classified in net sales in the consolidated income statements. Shipping and handling costs incurred are classified in selling and delivery in the consolidated income statements.

A portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from contracts to manufacture flat panel and CRTs to a buyers’ specification. These contracts are accounted for under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 605-35 “Revenue Recognition: Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts”. These contracts are fixed-price and cost-plus contracts and are recorded on the percentage of completion basis using the ratio of costs incurred to estimated total costs at completion as the measurement basis for progress toward completion and revenue recognition. Any losses identified on contracts are recognized immediately. Contract accounting requires significant judgment relative to assessing risks, estimating contract costs and making related assumptions for schedule and technical issues. With respect to contract change orders, claims, or similar items, judgment must be used in estimating related amounts and assessing the potential for realization. These amounts are only included in contract value when they can be reliably estimated and realization is probable.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by reviewing all accounts receivable and applying historical credit loss experience to the current receivable portfolio with consideration given to the current condition of the economy, assessment of the financial position of the creditors as well as past payment history and overall trends in past due accounts compared to established thresholds. The Company monitors credit exposure and assesses the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis. Historically, the Company’s allowance has been sufficient for any customer write-offs. Although the Company cannot guarantee future results, management believes its policies and procedures relating to customer exposure are adequate.

Warranty reserves

The warranty reserve is determined by recording a specific reserve for known warranty issues and a general reserve based on claims experience. The Company considers actual warranty claims compared to net sales, then adjusts its reserve liability accordingly. Actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the reserve. Management believes that its procedures historically have been adequate and does not anticipate that its assumptions are reasonably likely to change in the future.

Other accounting policies

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

Recent accounting pronouncements

In July 2013, the FASB amended Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Income Taxes.” The amendment provides guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit, as either a reduction of a deferred tax asset or as a liability, when a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward exists. The amendments will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and may be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of these amendments to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Forward-Looking Information and Risk Factors

This report contains forward-looking statements and information that is based on management’s beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to management. When used in this document, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intends,” “will,” and “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties, which are included under Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February  28, 2013 could cause actual results to differ materially.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s primary market risks include fluctuations in interest rates and variability in interest rate spread relationships, such as prime to LIBOR spreads. The Company has approximately $1.4 million of outstanding debt at November 30, 2013 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 LIBOR rate. The rate basis is incremented for margins specified in the agreement. 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 $14 thousand in pre-tax net income assuming no further changes in the amount of borrowings subject to variable rate interest from amounts outstanding at November 30, 2013. 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 November 30, 2013. 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 November 30, 2013.

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.
