Explanation of Anticipated Changes
All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Form 12b-25 are statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The words “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “predict”, “believe” and similar expressions and variations thereof are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements appear in a number of places in this Form and include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Registrant, its directors or its officers with respect to, among other things: (i) trends affecting the Registrant’s financial condition or results of operations; (ii) the Registrant’s financing plans; (iii) the Registrant’s business and growth strategies, including potential acquisitions; and (iv) other plans and objectives for future operations. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties and that actual results may differ materially from those predicted in the forward-looking statements or which may be anticipated from historical results or trends.
Net sales
     Consolidated net sales increased $4.0 million for the three months ended May 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended May 31, 2009. Display segment sales increased $2.7 million for the three-month comparative period and sales within the Wholesale Distribution segment increased $1.3 million for the three-month comparative period.
     The net increase in Display Segment sales for the three months ended May 31, 2010 is primarily attributed to the monitor division, as compared to the same period ended May 31, 2009. The Monitor revenues increased $3.9 million over the three-month period primarily due to the implementation of long-term contracts. As these are long term contracts, the Company expects the Monitor division to continue to perform well throughout the year. The Data Display CRT revenues decreased $1.1 million over the three-month period primarily due to the decline in the replacement CRT market. Entertainment CRTs revenues declined $0.1 million over the comparable three-month period. A significant portion of the entertainment division’s sales are to major television retailers as replacements for products sold under

 


 

manufacturer and extended warranties. Due to continued lower retail sales prices for mid-size television sets (25” to 30”), fewer extended warranties were sold by retailers, a trend consistent with recent prior fiscal years. The Company remains the primary supplier of product to meet manufacturers’ standard warranties. Growth in this division will be negatively impacted by the decreasing number of extended warranties sold for the larger, more expensive sets.
     The net increase in the Wholesale Segment sales for the three months ended May 31, 2010 is attributable to the increase in sales for the division’s two leading customers, one who was not a customer for the full first quarter last year.
Gross margins
     Consolidated gross margins decreased from 35.7% for the three months ended May 31, 2009 to 31.7% for the three months ended May 31, 2010.
     Display segment margins increased from 24.8% to 28.1% for the comparative three-month period. Gross margins within the Monitor division increased to 29.4% for the three months ended May 31, 2010 from 21.8% for the three months ended May 31, 2009. This increase is primarily attributable to the impact of the implementation of the new contracts in the Monitor division in Fiscal 2011, and fixed costs absorbed on more sales. Data Display CRT gross margins decreased from 35.7% for the three months ended May 31, 2009 to 29.3% for the three months ended May 31, 2010, due to outside sales that were about half of the prior year’s first quarter sales and fewer sales to absorb the fixed costs. Gross margins in Entertainment CRT were negative for the three months ended May 31, 2010 due to reduced volume at both of the division’s locations as business winds down at the Chroma television tube plant. The Company has reduced the net book value of this division in anticipation of its closure and does not anticipate a material loss when the division is closed. Gross margins from Component Parts were negative for the three months ended May 31, 2010. The majority of this division’s sales are within the Company.
     The wholesale segment gross margins decreased from 62.1% to 39.9% for the comparative three-month period, primarily due to an increase in overall sales at low margins and due to customer and product mix. The wholesale business is continually evaluating new business and expects to maintain its current margins.
Operating expenses
     Operating expenses as a percentage of sales decreased from 35.0% for the three months ended May 31, 2009 to 25.9% for the three months ended May 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 revenues.
Interest expense
     Interest expense increased $0.3 million for the three months ended May 31, 2010 as compared to the same period a year ago. The Company maintains various debt agreements with different interest rates, most of which are based on the prime rate or LIBOR. These increases in interest expense reflect higher average interest rates and borrowings.

 


 

Income taxes
     The effective tax rate for the three months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 was 38.4% and 28.3%, 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.
