This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (Amendment or Form 10-Q/A), which amends and restates items
identified below with respect to the Form 10-Q, filed by LSI Industries Inc. (we or the
Company) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) on January 30, 2009 (the
Original Filing), is being filed to amend information in Part I. Item 1 (Financial Statements),
Part I. Item 2 (Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations), Part I. Item 4 (Controls and Procedures) and Part II. Item 6 (Exhibits) to correct an
immaterial overstatement of our goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge, to correct the
composition of our reportable segments, and to correct other immaterial errors. See Note 13 to the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Management also revised
its conclusion related to the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. See Item
4, Controls and Procedures, for a description of the material weakness. The other Items as
presented in the Original Filing are not being restated but are included without change in this
Amendment for ease of reference. As a result of this Amendment, the Certification of Principal
Executive Officer and Certification of Principal Financial Officer required by Rule 13a-14(a) and
the 18 U.S.C. Section 1350 Certification of Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial
Officer, filed as exhibits to our Original Filing have been revised, re-executed and re-filed as of
the date of this Amendment. Except for the foregoing amended and restated information, this
Amendment continues to describe conditions as of the date of the Original Filing, and the
disclosures contained herein have not been updated to reflect events, results or developments that
have occurred after the Original Filing, or to modify or update those disclosures affected by
subsequent events unless otherwise indicated in this report. Among other things, except as may be
otherwise provided in this report, forward-looking statements made in the Original Filing have not
been revised to reflect events, results or developments that have occurred or facts that have
become known to us after the date of the Original Filing, and such forward looking statements
should be read in their historical context.
Page 2
This Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Companys filings made with the SEC
subsequent to the Original Filing, including any amendments to those filings.
Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
This Form 10-Q/A contains certain forward-looking statements that are subject to numerous
assumptions, risks or uncertainties. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may be
identified by words such as estimates, anticipates, projects, plans, expects,
intends, believes, seeks, may, will, should or the negative versions of those words
and similar expressions, and by the context in which they are used. Such statements, whether
expressed or implied, are based upon current expectations of the Company and speak only as of
the date made. Actual results could differ materially from those contained in or implied by
such forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of risks and uncertainties. These
risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the impact of competitive products and
services, product demand and market acceptance risks, reliance on key customers, financial
difficulties experienced by customers, the adequacy of reserves and allowances for doubtful
accounts, fluctuations in operating results or costs, unexpected difficulties in integrating
acquired businesses, the ability to retain key employees of acquired businesses, unfavorable
economic and market conditions, the results of asset impairment assessments, and the other risk
factors that are identified herein. In addition to the factors described in this paragraph,
the risk factors identified in our Form 10-K/A constitute risks and uncertainties that may
affect the financial performance of the Company and are incorporated herein by reference. The
Company has no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events
or circumstances.

NOTE 1: INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and
are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America for interim financial information, and rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. In the opinion of Management, the interim financial statements
include all normal adjustments and disclosures necessary to present fairly
the Companys financial position as of December 31, 2008, and the results of
its operations for the periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, and its
cash flows for the periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. These
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
footnotes included in the fiscal 2008 annual report. Financial information
as of June 30, 2008 has been derived from the Companys audited consolidated
financial statements.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LSI Industries Inc. (an Ohio
corporation) and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when title to
goods and risk of loss have passed to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of a
purchase arrangement, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, and
collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenue is typically recognized at time of shipment.
Sales are recorded net of estimated returns, rebates and discounts. Amounts received from
customers prior to the recognition of revenue are accounted for as customer pre-payments and
are included in accrued expenses.
The Company has four sources of revenue: revenue from product sales; revenue from
installation of products; service revenue generated from providing integrated design,
project and construction management, site engineering and site permitting; and revenue from
shipping and handling.
Product revenue is recognized on product-only orders upon passing of title and risk of loss,
generally at time of shipment. However, product revenue related to orders where the
customer requires the Company to install the product is recognized when the product is
installed. Other than normal product warranties or the possibility of installation or
post-shipment service, support and maintenance of certain solid state
LED video screens, billboards, or active digital signage, the Company has no post-shipment
responsibilities.
Page 7
Installation revenue is recognized when the products have been fully installed. The Company
is not always responsible for installation of products it sells and has no post-installation
responsibilities, other than normal warranties.
Service revenue from integrated design, project and construction management, and site
permitting is recognized when all products have been installed at each individual retail
site of the customer on a proportional performance basis.
Shipping and handling revenue coincides with the recognition of revenue from sale of the
product.
The Company evaluates the appropriateness of revenue recognition in accordance with Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, and AICPA
Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition. Our solid-state LED video
screens, billboards and active digital signage contain software elements which the Company
has determined are incidental and excluded from the scope of SOP 97-2.
Credit and Collections:
The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts receivable for probable estimated
losses resulting from either customer disputes or the inability of its customers to make
required payments. If the financial condition of the Companys customers were to
deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make the required payments, the Company may be
required to record additional allowances or charges against income. The Company determines
its allowance for doubtful accounts by first considering all known collectibility problems
of customers accounts, and then applying certain percentages against the various aging
categories of the remaining receivables. The resulting allowance for doubtful accounts
receivable is an estimate based upon the Companys knowledge of its business and customer
base, and historical trends. The Company also establishes allowances, at the time revenue
is recognized, for returns and allowances, discounts, pricing and other possible customer
deductions. These allowances are based upon historical trends.
The following table presents the Companys net accounts receivable at the dates indicated.

Facilities Expansion Tax Incentive and Credits:
The Company periodically receives either tax incentives or credits for state income taxes
when it expands a facility and/or its level of employment in certain states within which it
operates. A tax incentive is amortized to income over the time period that the state could
be entitled to return of the tax incentive if the expansion or job growth were not
maintained, and is recorded as a reduction of either manufacturing overhead or
administrative expenses. A credit is amortized to income over the time period that the
state could be entitled to return of the credit if the expansion were not maintained, is
recorded as a reduction of state income tax expense, and is subject to a valuation allowance
review if the credit cannot immediately be utilized.
Page 8
Short-Term Investments:
Short-term investments consist of tax free (federal) investments in high grade government
agency backed bonds for which the interest rate resets weekly and the Company has a seven
day put option. These investments are classified as available-for-sale securities and are
stated at fair market value, which represents the most recent reset amount at period end.
The Company invested in these types of short-term investments during the first half of
fiscal 2008. There were no such investments in the first half of fiscal 2009.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
The cash balance includes cash and cash equivalents which have original maturities of less
than three months. At December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, the bank balances included $0
and $3,376,000, respectively, in excess of FDIC insurance limits.
Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in,
first-out basis.
Property, Plant and Equipment and Related Depreciation:
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Major additions and betterments are
capitalized while maintenance and repairs are expensed. For financial reporting purposes,
depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets as follows:
|
|
|
Buildings
|
|
31 40 years |
Machinery and equipment
|
|
3 10 years |
Computer software
|
|
3 8 years |
Costs related to the purchase, internal development, and implementation of the Companys
fully integrated enterprise resource planning/business operating software system are either
capitalized or expensed in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants Statement of Position 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. The current business operating software was first
implemented in January 2000. All costs capitalized for the business operating software are
being depreciated over an eight year life from the date placed in service. Other purchased
computer software is being depreciated over periods ranging from three to five years.
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of fifteen years or the remaining
term of the lease.

The Company recorded $1,466,000 and $1,666,000 of depreciation expense in the second quarter
of fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $2,937,000 and $3,307,000 of depreciation expense
in the first half of fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Intangible Assets:
Intangible assets consisting of customer relationships, trade names and trademarks, patents,
technology and software, and non-compete agreements are recorded on the Companys balance
sheet. The definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized to expense on a straight
line basis over periods ranging between two and twenty years. The excess of cost over fair
value of assets acquired (goodwill) is not amortized but is subject to review for
impairment. See additional information about goodwill and intangibles in Note 7. The
Company periodically evaluates intangible assets for permanent impairment.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The Company has financial instruments consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents,
short-term investments, revolving lines of credit, and long-term debt. The fair value of
these financial instruments approximates carrying value because of their short-term maturity
and/or variable, market-driven interest rates. The Company has no financial instruments
with off-balance sheet risk.
Product Warranties:
The Company offers a limited warranty that its products are free of defects in workmanship
and materials. The specific terms and conditions vary somewhat by product line, but
generally cover defects returned within one to five years from date of shipment. The
Company records warranty liabilities to cover the estimated future costs for repair or
replacement of defective returned products as well as products that need to be repaired or
replaced in the field after installation. The Company calculates its liability for warranty
claims by applying estimates to cover unknown claims, as well as estimating the total amount
to be incurred for known warranty issues. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of
its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.
Changes in the Companys warranty liabilities, which are included in accrued expenses in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets, during the periods indicated below were as

Contingencies:
The Company is party to various negotiations, customer bankruptcies, and legal proceedings
arising in the normal course of business. The Company provides reserves for these matters
when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. In the opinion of management, the
ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
Companys financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity (see Note 12).
Research and Development Costs:
Research and development expenses are costs directly attributable to new product development
and consist of salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits, materials, supplies, depreciation
and other administrative costs. All costs are expensed as incurred and are classified as
operating expenses. Research and development costs incurred total $1,035,000 and $875,000
for the three month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $2,066,000
and $1,719,000 for the six month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Earnings Per Common Share:
The computation of basic earnings per common share is based on the weighted average common
shares outstanding for the period net of treasury shares held in the Companys non-qualified
deferred compensation plan. The computation of diluted earnings per share is based on the
weighted average common shares outstanding for the period and includes common share
equivalents. Common share equivalents include the dilutive effect of stock options,
contingently issuable shares and common shares to be issued under a deferred compensation
plan, all of which totaled zero shares and 304,000 shares for the three months ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and zero shares and 299,000 shares for the six
months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. See also Note 5.
Stock Options:
There were no disqualifying dispositions of shares from stock option exercises in the first
six months of fiscal 2009. The Company recorded $212,300 in the first six months of fiscal
2008 as a reduction of federal income taxes payable, $205,900 as an increase in additional
paid in capital, and $6,400 as a reduction of income tax expense to reflect the tax credits
it will receive as a result of disqualifying dispositions of shares from stock option
exercises. This had the effect of reducing cash flow from operating activities and
increasing cash flow from financing activities by $205,900. See further discussion in Note
11.
New Accounting Pronouncements:
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 48
(FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109. FIN 48 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, classification and
disclosure of the financial statement effects of a position taken or expected to be taken in
a tax return (tax position). The financial statement effects of a tax position must be
recognized when there is a likelihood of more than 50 percent that based on the technical
merits, the position will be sustained upon examination and resolution of the related
appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the recognition
threshold must be measured initially and subsequently as the largest
amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate
settlement with a taxing authority. In addition, FIN 48 specifies certain annual
disclosures that are required to be made once the interpretation has taken effect. The
interpretation was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The
Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on July 1, 2007. As a result of adoption, the
Company recognized a $2,582,000 increase to reserves for uncertain tax positions and
recorded a charge of $2,582,000 to the July 1, 2007 retained earnings balance. For
additional information, see Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Page 11
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement provides a
new definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. The Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or
permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007, or the Companys fiscal year 2009. Two FASB Staff Positions (FSP) were
subsequently issued. In February 2007, FSP No. 157-2 delayed the effective date of this
SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized or
disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis to fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2008, or the Companys fiscal year 2010. FSP No. 157-1, also
issued in February 2007, excluded FASB No. 13 Accounting for Leases and other accounting
pronouncements that address fair value measurements for purposes of lease classification or
measurement under FASB No. 13. However, this scope exception does not apply to assets
acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that are required to be measured
at fair value under FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations or FASB No. 141R,
Business Combinations. This FSP is effective upon initial adoption of SFAS No. 157. The
Company adopted SFAS No. 157 on July 1, 2008, and the adoption did not have any significant
impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position. The
Company determined that it does not have any financial assets or liabilities subject to the
disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 157, and is evaluating the impact on its non-financial
assets and liabilities.
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value. The election is made on an
instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. If the fair value option is elected for
an instrument, SFAS No. 159 specifies that all subsequent changes in fair value for that
instrument shall be reported in earnings. The objective of the pronouncement is to improve
financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in
reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without
having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is effective as of the
beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, or in the
Companys case, July 1, 2008. The Company has not made any fair value elections under SFAS
No. 159 and, as a result, this Statement did not have any impact on its consolidated results
of operations, cash flows or financial position.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations,
which replaces SFAS No. 141. The statement retains the purchase method of accounting for
acquisitions, but requires a number of changes, including changes in the way assets and
liabilities are recognized in the purchase
accounting. It also changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed
arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization of in-process research and
development at fair value, and requires the expensing of acquisition related costs as
incurred. SFAS No. 141R is effective beginning July 1, 2009 and will apply prospectively to
business combinations completed on or after that date.
Page 12
Comprehensive Income:
The Company does not have any comprehensive income items other than net income.
Reclassifications:
Immaterial reclassifications may have been made to prior year amounts in order to be
consistent with the presentation for the current year, including elimination of the separate
breakout of Net Sales Installation and Services on the face of the Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations because the amount is less than 10% of total net sales.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 3: MAJOR CUSTOMER CONCENTRATIONS
The Company sells both lighting and graphics products
into its most significant market, the petroleum /
convenience store market, with approximately 22% and
34% of total net sales concentrated in this market for
the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively and approximately 21% and 32% of total
net sales concentrated in this market for the six
month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
The Companys net sales to a major customer in the
Graphics Segment, 7-Eleven, Inc., represented
approximately $17,490,000, or 10% of consolidated net
sales in the six months ended December 31, 2007.
NOTE 4: BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information, establishes standards for reporting information
regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected
information of those segments to be presented in interim financial statements. Operating
segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial
information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (the Companys
President and Chief Executive Officer) in making decisions on how to allocate resources and
assess performance. While the Company has twelve operating segments, it has only three
reportable operating business segments (Lighting, Graphics, and Technology) and an All Other
Category.
The Lighting Segment includes outdoor, indoor, and landscape lighting that has been
fabricated and assembled for the commercial, industrial and multi-site retail lighting
markets, including the petroleum/convenience store market. The Lighting Segment
includes the operations of LSI Ohio Operations, LSI Metal Fabrication, LSI MidWest Lighting,
LSI Lightron and LSI Greenlee Lighting. These operations have been integrated, have similar
economic characteristics and meet the other requirements for aggregation in segment
reporting.
Page 13
The Graphics Segment designs, manufactures and installs exterior and interior visual image
elements related to image programs, solid-state LED digital advertising and sports video
screens. These products are used in visual image programs in several markets, including the
petroleum/convenience store market, multi-site retail operations, sports and advertising.
The Graphics Segment includes the operations of Grady McCauley, LSI Retail Graphics and LSI
Integrated Graphic Systems, which have been aggregated as such facilities manufacture
two-dimensional graphics with the use of screen and digital printing, fabricate
three-dimensional structural graphics sold in the multi-site retail and
petroleum/convenience store markets, and exhibit each of the similar economic
characteristics and meet the other requirements for aggregation in segment reporting.
The Technology Segment designs and produces high-performance light engines, large format
video screens using solid-state LED (light emitting diode) technology, and certain specialty
LED lighting. The primary markets served with LED video screens are the entertainment
market, outdoor advertising billboard and sports markets not served by our Graphics Segment.
The Technology Segment includes the operations of LSI Saco Technologies.
The All Other Category includes the Companys operating segments that do not meet the
aggregation criteria, nor the criteria to be a separate reportable segment. Operations of
LSI Marcole (electrical wire harnesses), LSI Images (menu board systems), and LSI Adapt
(surveying, permitting and installation management services related to products of the
Graphics Segment) are combined in the All Other Category. Additionally, the Companys
Corporate Administration expense is included in the All Other Category.
The Company recorded an impairment of goodwill in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 in the
amount of $13,250,000. This non-cash charge is included in the Lighting Segment in the
amount of $11,185,000, in the Graphics Segment in the amount of $716,000, and in the All
Other Category in the amount of $1,349,000. See further discussion in Note 7.

NOTE 7: GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test as of July 1, 2008. However,
because the conditions of impairment were present at June 30, 2008, the resulting impairment
was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. The Company did not record any
impairment charges in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. A similar analysis was
performed in fiscal 2008 as of July 1, 2007 and there was no impairment of goodwill.
Due to current economic conditions, the effects of the recession on the Companys markets
and the decline in the Companys stock price, management believed that an additional
goodwill impairment test was required as of December 31, 2008. Based upon the Companys
analysis, it was determined that the goodwill associated with three of the five remaining
reporting units that contain goodwill was either fully or partially impaired. The total
amount of the goodwill impairment was $13,250,000, of which $11,185,000 was impaired in the
Lighting Segment, $716,000 was impaired in the Graphics Segment and $1,349,000 was impaired
in the All Other Category. The impairment charge was due to a combination of a decline in
the market capitalization of the Company at December 31, 2008 and a decline in the estimated
forecasted discounted cash flows since the annual goodwill impairment test was performed.
The impairment charge was recorded in the second quarter.
The Company relies upon a number of factors, judgments and estimates when conducting its
impairment testing. These include operating results, forecasts, anticipated future cash
flows and market place data, to name a few. There are inherent uncertainties related to
these factors and judgments in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment.

assets on the dates or for the periods indicated.

NOTE 8: REVOLVING LINES OF CREDIT AND LONG-TERM DEBT
The Company has an unsecured $50 million revolving line of credit with its bank group in the
U.S., all of which was available as of December 31, 2008. While there have been some
borrowings on this line of credit during the first half of fiscal 2009, there are no
borrowings against this line of credit as of December 31, 2008. A portion of this credit
facility is a $20 million line of credit that expires in the third quarter of fiscal 2009.
The remainder of the credit facility is a $30 million three year committed line of credit
that expires in fiscal 2011. Annually in the third quarter, the credit facility is
renewable with respect to adding an additional year of commitment to replace the year just
ended. Interest on the revolving lines of credit is charged based upon an increment over
the LIBOR rate as periodically determined, an increment over the Federal Funds Rate as
periodically determined, or at the banks base lending rate, at the Companys option. The
increment over the LIBOR borrowing rate, as periodically determined, fluctuates between 50
and 75 basis points depending upon the ratio of indebtedness to earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). The increment over the Federal Funds
borrowing rate, as periodically determined, fluctuates between 150 and 200 basis points, and
the commitment fee on the unused balance of the $30 million committed portion of the line of
credit fluctuates between 15 and 25 basis points based upon the same leverage ratio. Under
terms of these agreements, the Company has agreed to a negative pledge of assets, to
maintain minimum levels of profitability and net worth, and is subject to certain maximum
levels of leverage.
The Company also established a $7 million line of credit for its Canadian subsidiary. The
line of credit expires in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Interest on the Canadian
subsidiarys line of credit is charged based upon an increment over the LIBOR rate or based
upon an increment over the United States base rates if funds borrowed are denominated in
U.S. dollars or an increment over the Canadian prime rate if funds borrowed are denominated
in Canadian dollars. While there has been activity in this line of credit during the first
six months of fiscal 2009, there are no borrowings against this line of credit as of
December 31, 2008.
The Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants as of December 31, 2008.
NOTE 9: RESERVE FOR UNCERTAIN TAX LIABILITIES
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on July 1, 2007. As a result of adoption, the Company
recognized $2,582,000 in reserves for uncertain tax positions and recorded a charge of
$2,582,000 to the July 1, 2007 retained earnings balance. At June 30, 2008, tax and
interest, net of potential federal tax benefits, were $2,098,000 and $534,000, respectively,
of the total reserves of $3,225,000. Additionally, penalties were $593,000 of the reserve
at June 30, 2008. Of the $3,225,000 reserve for uncertain tax positions, $2,632,000 would
have an unfavorable impact on the effective tax rate if recognized.
Page 20
For the six months ended December 31, 2008, the Company recognized an additional $31,000 tax
expense related to the increase in reserves for uncertain tax positions, paid net
liabilities totaling $162,000, and reduced the reserve by $333,000 through the income tax
provision as a result of a voluntary disclosure agreement and filing making this portion of
the liability no longer required. As of December 31, 2008, the reserve for uncertain income
tax liabilities is $2,761,000, net of potential federal tax benefits. The Company is
recording estimated interest and penalties related to potential underpayment of income taxes
as a component of tax expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operation. The
reserve for uncertain tax positions is not expected to change significantly in the next 12
months.
The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return in the United States, and files
various combined and separate tax returns in several state and local jurisdictions. With
limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal, state and local tax
examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years ending prior to June 30, 2006. The
Internal Revenue Service has completed its audit of the Companys fiscal year 2006 Federal
Income Tax Return and has not required any changes to the return as filed.
NOTE 10: CASH DIVIDENDS
The Company paid cash dividends of $4,314,000 and $7,107,000 in the six month periods ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In January, 2009, the Companys Board of
Directors declared a $0.05 per share regular quarterly cash dividend (approximately
$1,079,000) payable on February 10, 2009 to shareholders of record as of February 3, 2009.
NOTE 11: EQUITY COMPENSATION
Stock Options
The Company has an equity compensation plan that was approved by shareholders which covers
all of its full-time employees, outside directors and advisors. The options granted or
stock awards made pursuant to this plan are granted at fair market value at date of grant or
award. Options granted to non-employee directors become exercisable 25% each ninety days
(cumulative) from date of grant and options granted to employees generally become
exercisable 25% per year (cumulative) beginning one year after the date of grant. Prior to
fiscal 2007, options granted to non-employee directors were immediately exercisable. The
number of shares reserved for issuance is 2,250,000, of which 926,363 shares were available
for future grant or award as of December 31, 2008. This plan allows for the grant of
incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted
and unrestricted stock awards, performance stock awards, and other stock awards. As of
December 31, 2008, a total of 1,517,700 options for common shares were outstanding from this
plan as well as two previous stock option plans (both of which had also been approved by
shareholders), and of these, a total of 814,700 options for common shares were vested and
exercisable. The approximate unvested stock option expense as of December 31, 2008 that
will be recorded as expense in future periods is $2,566,900. The weighted average time over
which this expense will be recorded is approximately 21 months.
Page 21
The fair value of each option on the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model. The below listed weighted average assumptions were used for grants in
the periods indicated.

At December 31, 2008, the 339,300 options granted in the first six months of fiscal 2009 to
both employees and non-employee directors had exercise prices ranging from $4.60 to $8.98,
fair values ranging from $1.12 to $2.21, and remaining contractual lives of between four
years and eleven months and nine years and eleven months.
At December 31, 2007, the 327,900 options granted in the first six months of fiscal 2008 to
employees and non-employee directors had exercise prices ranging from $17.80 to $19.76, fair
values ranging from $4.19 to $5.70 per option, and remaining contractual lives of between
four years and eight months and nine years and eight months.
The Company records stock option expense using a straight line Black-Scholes method with an
estimated 4.2% forfeiture rate (revised in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 from the 10%
forfeiture rate previously used). The expected volatility of the Companys stock was
calculated based upon the historic monthly fluctuation in stock price for a period
approximating the expected life of option grants. The risk-free interest rate is the rate
of a five year Treasury security at constant, fixed maturity on the approximate date of the
stock option grant. The expected life of outstanding options is determined to be less than
the contractual term for a period equal to the aggregate group of option holders estimated
weighted average time within which options will be exercised. It is the Companys policy
that when stock options are exercised, new common shares shall be issued. The Company
recorded $295,700 and $327,300 of expense related to stock options in the three months ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $645,100 and $599,400 in the six month periods
ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, the Company
expects that approximately 668,800 outstanding stock options having a weighted average
exercise price of $14.12, no aggregate intrinsic value, and weighted average remaining
contractual terms of 8.7 years will vest in the future.

Stock Compensation Awards
The Company awarded a total of 2,552 common shares in the six months ended December 31,
2008, valued at their approximate $20,000 fair market value on the date of issuance pursuant
to the compensation programs for non-employee Directors who receive a portion of their
compensation as an award of Company stock. Stock compensation awards are made in the form
of newly issued common shares of the Company.
Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company has a non-qualified deferred compensation plan providing for both Company
contributions and participant deferrals of compensation. The Plan is fully funded in a
Rabbi Trust. All Plan investments are in common shares of the Company. As of December 31,
2008 there were 35 participants and all but one had fully vested account balances. A total
of 229,199 common shares with a cost of $2,580,500, and 211,151 common shares with a cost of
$2,426,800 were held in the Plan as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, respectively,
and, accordingly, have been recorded as treasury shares. The change in the number of shares
held by this Plan is the net result of share purchases and sales on the open stock market
for compensation deferred into the Plan and for distributions to terminated employees. The
Company does not issue new common shares for purposes of the non-qualified deferred
compensation plan. The Company accounts for assets held in the non-qualified deferred
compensation plan in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force 97-14, Accounting for
Deferred Compensation Arrangements where amounts earned are held in a Rabbi Trust and
invested. For fiscal year 2009, the Company estimates the Rabbi Trust for the Nonqualified
Deferred Compensation Plan will make net repurchases in the range of 21,000 to 25,000 common
shares of the Company. During the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company
used approximately $160,700 and $214,500, respectively, to purchase common shares of the
Company in the open stock market for either employee salary deferrals or Company
contributions into the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The Company does not
currently repurchase its own common shares for any other purpose.

NOTE 12: LOSS CONTINGENCY RESERVE
The Company is party to various negotiations and legal proceedings arising in the normal
course of business, most of which are dismissed or resolved with minimal expense to the
Company, exclusive of legal fees. Since October 2000, the Company has been the defendant in
a complex lawsuit alleging patent infringement with respect to some of the Companys menu
board systems sold over the past approximately eleven years. Pursuant to settlement
discussions initiated by the plaintiffs, the Company made a $2,800,000 offer to settle this
matter and, accordingly, recorded a loss contingency reserve in the fourth quarter of fiscal
2008. Following additional discussions in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company
reached a full and complete settlement of all matters related to this menu board patent
infringement lawsuit. Accordingly, an additional $200,000 expense was recorded in the
second quarter of fiscal 2009 and a payment of $3,000,000 was made to the plaintiffs.
NOTE 13: RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Subsequent to the issuance of the Companys December 31, 2008 condensed consolidated
financial statements, the Companys management determined that there were errors in its
determination of reportable segments and the amount of goodwill impairment expense.
The Company has restated its reportable business segments by expanding from two segments to
three segments, and has added an All Other Category. All segment data has therefore been
conformed to the new business segment structure as more fully discussed in Note 4.
The Company also incorrectly reported the amount of goodwill impairment expense. This error
was the result of aggregating certain of its operating segments or individual companies
together and performing the impairment test at that aggregated level rather than at the
level of the individual operating segment or individual company.
In addition, the Company incorrectly included a non-cash use of $2,582,000 related to the
change in the Reserve for uncertain tax positions charged against retained earnings in the
cash flows from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
for the six months ended December 31, 2007, with an offsetting amount included in the change
in accounts payable and other.
Page 25
The Company has restated its condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2008
and as of and for the three and six months ended December 31, 2008 to correct the errors
noted above as follows:

Results of Operations
THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007
Net sales of $60,787,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 decreased 27.7% from fiscal 2008
second quarter net sales of $84,062,000. Lighting Segment net sales decreased 7.5% to $43,291,000,
Graphics Segment net sales decreased 51.9% to $13,891,000, Technology Segment net sales decreased
43.5% to $1,172,000 and net sales of the All Other Category decreased 61.5% to $2,433,000 as
compared to the prior year. Sales to the petroleum / convenience store market represented 22% and
34% of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal years 2009 and 2008, respectively. Net sales to
this, the Companys largest niche market, are reported in both the Lighting and Graphics Segments,
depending upon the product or service sold, and were down 53% from last year to $13,484,000 as
Lighting sales decreased 11% and Graphics sales to this market decreased 70%. The petroleum /
convenience store market has been, and will continue to be, a very important niche market for the
Company; however, if sales to other markets and customers increase more than net sales to this
market, then the percentage of net sales to the petroleum / convenience store market would be
expected to decline. See Note 3 to these financial statements on Major Customer Concentrations.
Net sales of products and services related to solid state LED technology in light fixtures and
video screens for sports, advertising and entertainment markets totaled $2.0 million in the three
month period ended December 31, 2008, representing approximately a 2% decrease from the same period
last year. In addition, the Company sells certain elements of graphic identification programs that
contain solid state LED light sources.
The $3.5 million or 7.5% decrease in Lighting Segment net sales is primarily the result of a
$1.4 million or 5.1% decrease in commissioned net sales to the commercial / industrial lighting
market, and a $2.1 million net decrease in lighting sales to our niche markets of petroleum /
convenience stores, automotive dealerships, and national retail accounts.
The $15.0 million or 51.9% decrease in Graphics Segment net sales is primarily the result of
completion of programs for certain graphics customers, including an image conversion program for a
national drug store retailer ($1.9 million decrease), two petroleum / convenience
store programs ($13.4 million decrease), a grocery retailer program ($1.3 million decrease) and
changes in volume or completion of other graphics programs. These decreases were partially offset
by increased net sales to certain other customers, including a reimaging program for a grocery
customer ($3.6 million increase).
Page 27
Image and brand programs, whether full conversions or enhancements, are important to the
Companys strategic direction. Image programs include situations where our customers refurbish
their retail sites around the country by replacing some or all of the lighting, graphic elements,
menu board systems and possibly other items they may source from other suppliers. These image
programs often take several quarters to complete and involve both our customers corporate-owned
sites as well as their franchisee-owned sites, the latter of which involve separate sales efforts
by the Company with each franchisee. The Company may not always be able to replace net sales
immediately when a large image conversion program has concluded. Brand programs typically occur as
new products are offered or new departments are created within an existing retail store. Relative
to net sales to a customer before and after an image or brand program, net sales during the program
are typically significantly higher, depending upon how much of the lighting or graphics business is
awarded to the Company. Sales related to a customers image or brand program are reported in
either the Lighting Segment, Graphics Segment or All Other Category depending upon the product
and/or service provided.
The $0.9 million or 43.5% decrease in net sales of the Technology Segment is primarily the
result of decreased sales of solid-state LED video screens to the advertising market ($1.2 million
decrease), decreased sales of solid-state LED video screens for the sports markets ($0.6 million
decrease), partially offset by increased sales of solid-state LED video screens to the
entertainment market ($0.7 million increase).
The $3.9 million or 61.5% decrease in net sales of the All Other Category is primarily the
result of completion of a menu board replacement program in the second quarter last year ($4.7
million decrease), partially offset by net increases of sales of menu boards to other quick service
restaurant customers ($0.3 million increase) and net increased sales of electrical wire harnesses
($0.4 million increase).
Gross profit of $13,257,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 decreased 43% from the same
period last year, and decreased from 27.9% to 21.8% as a percentage of net sales. The decrease in
amount of gross profit is due both to decreased Graphics net sales and margins, both product and
installation, as well as decreased gross profit margin on decreased Lighting net sales. The
following items also influenced the Companys gross profit margin on a consolidated basis:
competitive pricing pressures; increased cost of materials in the Lighting Segment; decreased
direct labor reflective of less sales volume; net increased wage, compensation and benefits costs
($0.5 million increase in Lighting and $0.2 million decrease in Graphics); decreased supplies ($0.2
million in Lighting and $0.1 million in Graphics); $0.2 million of decreased depreciation in the
Lighting Segment; and $0.1 million decreased repairs and maintenance).
Selling and administrative expenses of $14,014,000 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009
decreased $1.7 million, and increased to 23.1% as a percentage of net sales from 18.7% in the same
period last year. Employee compensation and benefits expense decreased a net $0.1 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to the same period last year ($0.1 million decrease in
Lighting, $0.3 million decrease in Graphics, $0.1 million decrease in Technology and $0.4 million
increase in the All Other Category). Other changes of expense between years include decreased
sales commission expense ($1.0 million in Lighting), decreased warranty expense ($0.3 million
primarily in Technology), decreased outside services
expense ($0.3 million in Lighting and Graphics), increased research & development expense ($0.2
million, primarily in the Lighting Segment associated with research and development spending
related to solid-state LED technology), decreased legal fees ($0.2 million in the All Other
Category), increased menu board litigation settlement costs ($0.2 million in the All Other
Category), net increased bad debt expense ($0.2 million increase in Lighting, $0.1 million decrease
in Graphics and $0.1 million increase in Technology), decreased intangible asset amortization
expense ($0.1 million in Technology) and decreased advertising and literature ($0.1 million in
Lighting).
Page 28
The Company recorded an impairment of goodwill in three reporting units in the second quarter
of fiscal 2009, and accordingly recorded a non-cash expense in the amount of $13,250,000 (the
Lighting Segment impairment was $11,185,000, the Graphics Segment impairment was $716,000 and the
impairment in the All Other Category was $1,349,000) with no similar impairment expense in the
second quarter of the prior year. The impairment was related to a decline in the market value of
the Companys stock as well as a decline in the estimated forecasted discounted cash flows expected
by the Company.
The Company reported net interest income of $1,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 as
compared to net interest income of $80,000 in the same period last year. The Company was in a
positive cash position and was debt free for substantially all of fiscal 2008 and generated
interest income on invested cash. The Company was occasionally in a borrowing position the second
quarter of fiscal 2009.
The effective tax rate in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was 38.1%, resulting in an income
tax expense of $2,966,000. The $629,000 tax benefit in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 reflects
a benefit of $531,000 related to the operations of the Company (which includes a $333,000 release
of a FIN 48 income tax liability associated with a voluntary disclosure program) and a tax benefit
of $98,000 associated with the impairment of goodwill.
The Company reported a net loss of $(13,377,000) in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 as
compared to net income of $4,823,000 in the same period last year. The decrease is primarily the
result of decreased gross profit on decreased net sales, a $13.3 million pre-tax goodwill
impairment, partially offset by decreased operating expenses and decreased income tax expense. The
diluted loss per share was $(0.61) in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, as compared to earnings
per share of $0.22 in the same period last year. The weighted average common shares outstanding for
purposes of computing diluted earnings (loss) per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 were
21,799,000 shares as compared to 22,063,000 shares for the same period last year.
SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007
Net sales of $136,625,000 in the first half of fiscal 2009 decreased 21.5% from fiscal 2008
first half net sales of $174,063,000. Lighting Segment net sales increased 0.9% to $92,927,000,
Graphics Segment net sales decreased 39.1% to $35,027,000, Technology Segment net sales decreased
12.8% to $3,990,000 and net sales of the All Other Category decreased 76.5% as compared to the
prior year. Sales to the petroleum / convenience store market represented 21% and 32% of net sales
in the first half of fiscal years 2009 and 2008, respectively. Net sales to this, the Companys
largest niche market, are reported in both the Lighting and Graphics Segments, depending upon the
product or service sold, and were down 49% from last year to $28,683,000 as Lighting sales were
level and Graphics sales to this market decreased 68%. The petroleum / convenience store market
has been, and will
continue to be, a very important niche market for the Company; however, if sales to other
markets and customers increase more than net sales to this market, then the percentage of net sales
to the petroleum / convenience store market would be expected to decline. See Note 3 to these
financial statements on Major Customer Concentrations. Net sales of products and services related
to solid state LED technology in light fixtures and video screens for sports, advertising and
entertainment markets totaled $10.8 million in the six month period ended December 31, 2008,
representing approximately a 137% increase from the same period last year. In addition, the
Company sells certain elements of graphic identification programs that contain solid state LED
light sources.
Page 29
The $0.8 million or 0.9% increase in Lighting Segment net sales is the net result of a $3.9
million or 7.5% increase in commissioned net sales to the commercial / industrial lighting market,
and a $3.0 million net decrease in lighting sales to our niche markets of petroleum / convenience
stores, automotive dealerships, and national retail accounts (net sales to one large national
retailer decreased $2.6 million as compared to the first half of last year).
The $22.5 million or 39.1% decrease in Graphics Segment net sales is primarily the result of
completion of programs for certain graphics customers, including an image conversion program for a
national drug store retailer ($3.7 million decrease), two petroleum / convenience store programs
($26.2 million decrease) and changes in volume or completion of other graphics programs. These
decreases were partially offset by increased net sales to certain other customers, including a
reimaging program for a grocery customer ($7.9 million).
Image and brand programs, whether full conversions or enhancements, are important to the
Companys strategic direction. Image programs include situations where our customers refurbish
their retail sites around the country by replacing some or all of the lighting, graphic elements,
menu board systems and possibly other items they may source from other suppliers. These image
programs often take several quarters to complete and involve both our customers corporate-owned
sites as well as their franchisee-owned sites, the latter of which involve separate sales efforts
by the Company with each franchisee. The Company may not always be able to replace net sales
immediately when a large image conversion program has concluded. Brand programs typically occur as
new products are offered or new departments are created within an existing retail store. Relative
to net sales to a customer before and after an image or brand program, net sales during the program
are typically significantly higher, depending upon how much of the lighting or graphics business is
awarded to the Company. Sales related to a customers image or brand program are reported in
either the Lighting Segment, Graphics Segment, or the Technology Segment depending upon the product
and/or service provided.
The $0.6 million or 12.8% decrease in net sales of the Technology Segment is primarily the
result of decreased sales of solid-state LED video screens for the sports markets ($1.6 million
decrease), decreased sales of specialty LED lighting ($1.1 million decrease), decreased net sales
of solid-state LED video screens to the advertizing market ($1.2 million decrease), partially
offset by increased net sales of solid-state LED video screens to the entertainment market ($3.2
million increase).
The $15.2 million or 76.5% decrease in net sales of the All Other Category is primarily the
result of completion of a menu board replacement program in the second quarter last year ($15.3
million decrease).
Gross profit of $31,436,000 in the first half of fiscal 2009 decreased 36% from the same
period last year, and decreased from 28.3% to 23.0% as a percentage of net sales. The decrease in
amount of gross profit is due both to decreased Graphics net sales and margins,
both product and installation, as well as decreased gross profit margin on slightly lower Lighting
net sales. The following items also influenced the Companys gross profit margin on a consolidated
basis: competitive pricing pressures; increased cost of materials in the Lighting Segment;
decreased direct labor reflective of less sales volume; net decreased wage, compensation and
benefits costs ($0.2 million increase in Lighting, $0.8 million decrease in Graphics and $0.1
million decrease in the All Other Category); decreased supplies ($0.1 million in Lighting and $0.2
million in Graphics); $0.3 million of decreased depreciation in the Lighting Segment; $0.2 million
decreased repairs and maintenance, primarily in the Lighting Segment; and net decreased outside
services ($0.1 million increase in Lighting and $0.2 million decrease in Graphics.
Page 30
Selling and administrative expenses of $27,977,000 in the first half of fiscal year 2009
decreased $2.8 million, and increased to 20.5% as a percentage of net sales from 17.7% in the same
period last year. Employee compensation and benefits expense decreased $0.6 million in the first
half of fiscal 2009 as compared to the same period last year ($0.2 million decrease in Lighting,
$0.7 million decrease in Graphics and $0.3 million increase in the All Other Category. Other
changes of expense between years include decreased sales commission expense ($0.9 million in the
Lighting Segment), decreased warranty expense (0.1 million in Graphics and $0.6 million in
Technology), decreased outside services expense ($0.3 million, primarily in the Graphics Segment),
net increased research & development expense ($0.5 million increase in Lighting associated
primarily with research and development spending related to solid-state LED technology, and $0.1
million decrease in Graphics), decreased legal fees ($0.2 million, primarily in the All Other
Category), increased menu board litigation settlement costs ($0.2 million in the All Other
Category), increased bad debt expense ($0.1 million increase in Lighting, $0.2 million decrease in
Graphics and $0.2 million increase in Technology), decreased intangible asset amortization expense
($0.1 million), decreased supplies ($0.1 million) and decreased advertising and literature ($0.1
million in the Lighting Segment).
The Company recorded an impairment of goodwill in three reporting units in the first half of
fiscal 2009, and accordingly recorded a non-cash expense in the amount of $13,250,000 (the Lighting
Segment impairment was $11,185,000, the Graphics Segment impairment was $716,000 and the impairment
in the All Other Category was $1,349,000) with no similar impairment expense in the first half of
the prior year. The impairment was related to a decline in the market value of the Companys stock
as well as a decline in the estimated forecasted discounted cash flows expected by the Company.
The Company reported net interest expense of $4,000 in the first half of fiscal 2009 as
compared to net interest income of $212,000 in the same period last year. The Company was in a
positive cash position and was debt free for substantially all of fiscal 2008 and generated
interest income on invested cash. The Company was occasionally in a borrowing position the first
half of fiscal 2009.
The effective tax rate in the first half of fiscal 2008 was 36.8%, resulting in an income tax
expense of $6,871,000. The $895,000 income tax expense in the first half of fiscal 2009 reflects a
tax expense of $993,000 related to the operations of the Company (which includes a $333,000 release
of a FIN 48 income tax liability associated with a voluntary disclosure program) and a tax benefit
of $98,000 associated with the impairment of goodwill.
The Company reported a net loss of $(10,690,000) in the first half of fiscal 2009 as compared
to net income of $11,776,000 in the same period last year. The decrease is primarily the result of
decreased gross profit on decreased net sales and a fiscal 2009 $13.3 million pre-tax goodwill
impairment expense, partially offset by decreased operating expenses and decreased income tax
expense. The diluted loss per share was $(0.49) in the first half of fiscal 2009, as compared to
earnings per share of $0.53 in the same period last year. The weighted average common shares
outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings (loss) per share in the first half of fiscal
2009 were 21,798,000 shares as compared to 22,036,000 shares for the same period last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company considers its level of cash on hand, its borrowing capacity, its current ratio and
working capital levels to be its most important measures of short-term liquidity. For long-term
liquidity indicators, the Company believes its ratio of long-term debt to equity and its historical
levels of net cash flows from operating activities to be the most important measures.
At December 31, 2008 the Company had working capital of $73.6 million, compared to $72.9
million at June 30, 2008. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 4.72 to 1 as
compared to a ratio of 3.32 to 1 at June 30, 2008. The $0.7 million increase in working capital
from June 30, 2008 to December 31, 2008 was primarily related to decreased accounts payable ($4.8
million), decreased accrued expenses and customer prepayments ($6.0 million and $0.9 million,
respectively), increased cash and cash equivalents ($1.2 million), partially offset by decreased
inventory ($6.6 million), decreased net accounts receivable ($3.6 million), and decreased other
current assets ($2.0 million).
The Company generated $6.6 million of cash from operating activities in the first half of
fiscal 2009 as compared to a generation of $7.3 million last year. This $0.7 million decrease in
net cash flows from operating activities is primarily the net result of less net income ($22.5
million unfavorable), a non-cash goodwill impairment charge in fiscal 2009 ($13.3 million
favorable), less of a reduction in accounts receivable (unfavorable change of $9.5 million), a
decrease in inventories rather than an increase (favorable change of $7.6 million), less of a
reduction in customer prepayments (favorable change of $10.5 million), a smaller decrease in
accounts payable and accrued expenses (favorable change of $0.1 million), decreased depreciation
and amortization (unfavorable $0.5 million), larger increases in the reserves for bad debts and
inventory obsolescence (favorable $0.2 million) and an increase in deferred income tax assets
rather than a decrease (unfavorable $0.6 million). The fiscal 2008 significant reduction in
customer prepayments is related to the completion of a menu board replacement program in the
Graphics Segment.
Net accounts receivable were $35.2 million and $38.9 million at December 31, 2008 and June 30,
2008, respectively. The decrease of $3.7 million in net receivables is primarily due to a larger
amount of net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to the second quarter of
fiscal 2009, plus the affect of increased DSO (Days Sales Outstanding). The DSO increased from 54
days at June 30, 2008 to 63 days at December 31, 2008. The Company believes that its receivables
are ultimately collectible or recoverable, net of certain reserves, and that aggregate allowances
for doubtful accounts are adequate.
Inventories at December 31, 2008 decreased $6.6 million from June 30, 2008 levels. Primarily
in response to customer programs and the timing of shipments, inventory decreases occurred in the
Lighting Segment of approximately $0.9 million (some of this inventory supports certain graphics
programs), in the Graphics Segment of approximately $2.8 million, in the Technology Segment of
approximately $2.4 million and in the All Other Category of approximately $0.6 million since June
30, 2008.
Cash generated from operations and borrowing capacity under two line of credit facilities are
the Companys primary source of liquidity. The Company has an unsecured $50 million revolving line
of credit with its bank group, with all $50 million of the credit line available as of January 22,
2009. This line of credit consists of a $30 million three year committed credit facility expiring
in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 and a $20 million credit facility expiring in the third quarter
of fiscal 2009. Additionally, the Company has a separate $7 million line of credit, renewable
annually in the third fiscal quarter, for the working capital needs of its Canadian subsidiary, LSI
Saco Technologies. As of January 22, 2009, all $7 million of this line of credit is available. As
both of these lines of credit renew in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company believes that
the combined $57 million of credit facilities will be extended to the Company by its banks,
however, at a higher interest rate due to conditions in the financial markets. The Company
believes that the total of available lines of credit plus cash flows from operating activities is
adequate for the Companys fiscal 2009 operational and capital expenditure needs. The Company is
in compliance with all of its loan covenants.
Page 32
The Company used $0.9 million of cash related to investing activities in the first half of
fiscal 2009 as compared to a generation of $5.5 million last year. The primary change between
years relates to the fiscal 2008 divestiture of short-term investments ($8.0 million unfavorable)
and decreased purchase of fixed assets ($1.7 million favorable). Capital expenditures of $0.9 million in the first half of fiscal 2009
compared to $2.5 million in the same period last year. Spending in both periods is primarily for
tooling and equipment. The Company expects fiscal 2009 capital expenditures to approximate $3
million, exclusive of business acquisitions.
The Company used $4.5 million of cash related to financing activities in the first half of
fiscal 2009 as compared to a use of $6.4 million in the same period last year. The $1.9 million
change between periods is primarily the result of lower cash dividend payments ($4,314,000 in the
first half of fiscal 2009 as compared to $7,107,000 in the same period last year). The $2.8
million reduction in dividend payments between years is primarily the net result of a special
year-end dividend of approximately $1.1 million paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 with none
in fiscal 2009, and a lower per share dividend rate beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
Additionally, the Company had cash flow from the exercise of stock options in the first half of
fiscal 2008, while there were no exercises in the first half of fiscal 2009 ($0.8 million
unfavorable).
The Company has financial instruments consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents and
short-term investments, revolving lines of credit, and long-term debt. The fair value of these
financial instruments approximates carrying value because of their short-term maturity and/or
variable, market-driven interest rates. The Company has no financial instruments with off-balance
sheet risk and has no off balance sheet arrangements.
On January 21, 2009 the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.05
per share (approximately $1,079,000) payable February 10, 2009 to shareholders of record on
February 3, 2009. The Companys cash dividend policy is that the indicated annual dividend rate
will be set between 50% and 70% of the expected net income for the current fiscal year.
Consideration will also be given by the Board to special year-end cash or stock dividends. The
declaration and amount of any cash and stock dividends will be determined by the Companys Board of
Directors, in its discretion, based upon its evaluation of earnings, cash flow, capital
requirements and future business developments and opportunities, including acquisitions.
Accordingly, the Board established a new indicated annual cash dividend rate of $0.20 per share
beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2009 consistent with the above dividend policy.
Carefully selected acquisitions have long been an important part of the Companys strategic
growth plans. The Company continues to seek out, screen and evaluate potential acquisitions that
could add to the Lighting or Graphics product lines or enhance the Companys position in selected
markets. The Company believes adequate financing for any such investments or acquisitions will be
available through future borrowings or through the issuance of common or preferred shares in
payment for acquired businesses. Pursuant to a non-binding letter of intent, the Company had been
involved in discussions to acquire a small producer of specialty lighting products. However, a
mutually acceptable agreement was not able to be reached and all discussions have been terminated.
Page 33
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company is required to make estimates and judgments in the preparation of its financial
statements that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and
related footnote disclosures. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on
various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results
of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.
The Company continually reviews these estimates and their underlying assumptions to ensure they
remain appropriate. The Company believes the items discussed below are among its most significant
accounting policies because they utilize estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently
uncertain and therefore are based on managements judgment. Significant changes in the estimates
or assumptions related to any of the following critical accounting policies could possibly have a
material impact on the financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when title to goods and
risk of loss have passed to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of a purchase arrangement,
delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenue is
typically recognized at time of shipment. Sales are recorded net of estimated returns, rebates and
discounts. Amounts received from customers prior to the recognition of revenue are accounted for as
customer pre-payments and are included in accrued expenses.
The Company has four sources of revenue: revenue from product sales; revenue from
installation of products; service revenue generated from providing integrated design, project and
construction management, site engineering and site permitting; and revenue from shipping and
handling.
Product revenue is recognized on product-only orders upon passing of title and risk of loss,
generally at time of shipment. However, product revenue related to orders where the customer
requires the Company to install the product is recognized when the product is installed. Other
than normal product warranties or the possibility of installation or post-shipment service, support
and maintenance of certain solid state LED video screens, billboards, or active digital signage,
the Company has no post-shipment responsibilities.
Installation revenue is recognized when the products have been fully installed. The Company
is not always responsible for installation of products it sells and has no post-installation
responsibilities, other than normal warranties.
Service revenue from integrated design, project and construction management, and site
permitting is recognized when all products have been installed at each individual retail site of
the customer on a proportional performance basis.
Shipping and handling revenue coincides with the recognition of revenue from sale of the
product.
The Company evaluates the appropriateness of revenue recognition in accordance with Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, and AICPA
Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition. Our solid-state LED video
screens, billboards and active digital signage contain software elements which the Company has
determined are incidental and excluded from the scope of SOP 97-2.
Page 34
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes; accordingly, deferred income taxes are
provided on items that are reported as either income or expense in different time periods for
financial reporting purposes than they are for income tax purposes. Deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are reported on the Companys balance sheet. Significant management judgment is
required in developing the Companys income tax provision, including the determination of deferred
tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowances that might be required against deferred tax
assets.
The Company operates in multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these
jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities routinely review the
Companys tax returns. These audits can involve complex issues which may require an extended
period of time to resolve. In managements opinion, adequate provision has been made for potential
adjustments arising from these examinations.
As of December 31, 2008 the Company has recorded two deferred state income tax assets, one in
the amount of $5,000 related to a state net operating loss carryover generated by the Companys New
York subsidiary, and the other in the amount of $935,000, net of federal tax benefits, related to
non-refundable state tax credits. The Company has determined that these deferred state income tax
assets totaling $940,000 do not require any valuation reserves because, in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS No. 109), these assets will, more likely
than not, be realized. Additionally, as of December 31, 2008 the Company has recorded deferred tax
assets for its Canadian subsidiary related to net operating loss carryover and to research and
development tax credits totaling $1,707,000. In view of the impairment of the goodwill and certain
intangible assets on the financial statements of this subsidiary and two consecutive loss years,
the Company has determined these assets, more likely than not, will not be realized. Accordingly,
full valuation reserves of $1,707,000 have been recorded.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on July 1, 2007. As a result of adoption, the Company recognized
$2,582,000 in reserves for uncertain tax positions and recorded a charge of $2,582,000 to the July
1, 2007 retained earnings balance. At June 30, 2008, tax and interest, net of potential federal
tax benefits, were $2,098,000 and $534,000, respectively, of the total reserves of $3,225,000.
Additionally, penalties were $593,000 of the reserve at June 30, 2008. Of the $3,225,000 reserve
for uncertain tax positions, $2,632,000 would have an unfavorable impact on the effective tax rate
if recognized.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company recognized an additional $31,000 tax expense related to
the increase in reserves for uncertain tax positions. The Company is recording estimated interest
and penalties related to potential underpayment of income taxes as a component of tax expense in
the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The reserve for uncertain tax positions is not expected
to change significantly in the next 12 months.
Equity Compensation
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R),
Share-Based Payment, effective July 1, 2005. SFAS No. 123(R) requires public entities to measure
the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments and recognize
this cost over the period during which an employee is required to provide the services.
Page 35
Asset Impairment
Carrying values of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed at
least annually for possible impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142 (SFAS No. 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Companys impairment
review involves the estimation of the fair value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets
using a combination of a market approach and an income (discounted cash flow) approach, at the
reporting unit level, that requires significant management judgment with respect to revenue and
expense growth rates, changes in working capital and the selection and use of an appropriate
discount rate. The estimates of fair value of reporting units are based on the best information
available as of the date of the assessment. The use of different assumptions would increase or
decrease estimated discounted future operating cash flows and could increase or decrease an
impairment charge. Company management uses its judgment in assessing whether assets may have
become impaired between annual impairment tests. Indicators such as adverse business conditions,
economic factors and technological change or competitive activities may signal that an asset has
become impaired. A $27,209,000 goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge was recorded as of
June 30, 2008 as a result of the Companys annual impairment test. The impairment charge was due
primarily to the combination of a decline in the market capitalization of the Company at June 30,
2008 and the decline in the estimated forecasted discounted cash flows expected by the Company.
This impairment charge was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 rather than in the first
quarter of fiscal 2009 due to the decline in the Companys stock price as of June 30, 2008. Also
see Note 7.
Due to current economic conditions, the effects of the recession on the Companys markets and
the decline in the Companys stock price, management believed that an additional goodwill
impairment test was required as of December 31, 2008. Based upon the Companys analysis, it was
determined that the goodwill associated with three of the five remaining reporting units that
contain goodwill was either fully or partially impaired. The total amount of the goodwill
impairment was $13,250,000, of which $11,185,000 was full impairment of the goodwill within one
reporting unit in the Lighting Segment, $716,000 was full impairment of the goodwill within one
reporting unit in the Graphics Segment and $1,349,000 represents a partial impairment of the
goodwill within one reporting unit in the All Other Category. The impairment charge was due to a
combination of a decline in the market capitalization of the Company at December 31, 2008 and a
decline in the estimated forecasted discounted cash flows since the annual goodwill impairment test
was performed. The impairment charge was recorded in the second quarter.
Carrying values for long-lived tangible assets and definite-lived intangible assets, excluding
goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for possible impairment as
circumstances warrant in connection with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS No. 144), Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Impairment reviews are conducted at the judgment
of Company management when it believes that a change in circumstances in the business or external
factors warrants a review. Circumstances such as the discontinuation of a product or product line,
a sudden or consistent decline in the forecast for a product, changes in technology or in the way
an asset is being used, a history of negative operating cash flow, or an adverse change in legal
factors or in the business climate, among others, may trigger an impairment review. The Companys
initial impairment review to determine if a potential impairment charge is required is based on an
undiscounted cash flow analysis at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist. The
analysis requires judgment with respect to changes in technology, the continued success of product
lines and future volume, revenue and expense growth rates, and discount rates. As a result of the
fiscal year 2008 review of long lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets in connection
with SFAS No. 144, it was determined that a certain trade name within the Lighting Segment was
deemed fully impaired because it was no longer used in the Companys marketing efforts. An
impairment charge of $746,000 was recorded as of June 30, 2008. There were no impairment charges
related to long-lived tangible assets or definite-lived intangible assets recorded by the Company
during the first half of fiscal year 2009.
Page 36
Credit and Collections
The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts receivable for probable estimated
losses resulting from either customer disputes or the inability of its customers to make required
payments. If the financial condition of the Companys customers were to deteriorate, resulting in
their inability to make the required payments, the Company may be required to record additional
allowances or charges against income. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts
by first considering all known collectibility problems of customers accounts, and then applying
certain percentages against the various aging categories of the remaining receivables. The
resulting allowance for doubtful accounts receivable is an estimate based upon the Companys
knowledge of its business and customer base, and historical trends. The Company also establishes
allowances, at the time revenue is recognized, for returns and allowances, discounts, pricing and
other possible customer deductions. These allowances are based upon historical trends.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN
48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.
FIN 48 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, classification and disclosure of the
financial statement effects of a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return (tax
position). The financial statement effects of a tax position must be recognized when there is a
likelihood of more than 50 percent that based on the technical merits, the position will be
sustained upon examination and resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any.
A tax position that meets the recognition threshold must be measured initially and subsequently as
the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon
ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. In addition, FIN 48 specifies certain annual
disclosures that are required to be made once the interpretation has taken effect. The
Interpretation was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company
adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on July 1, 2007. As a result of adoption, the Company recognized
a $2,582,000 increase to reserves for uncertain tax positions and recorded a charge of $2,582,000
to the July 1, 2007 retained earnings balance. For additional information, see Note 9 to the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement provides a new
definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Statement
applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS
No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, or the Companys fiscal
year 2009. Two FASB Staff Positions (FSP) were subsequently issued. In February 2007, FSP No.
157-2 delayed the effective date of this SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial
liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a
nonrecurring basis to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, or the Companys fiscal year
2010. FSP No. 157-1, also issued in February 2007, excluded FASB No. 13 Accounting for Leases and other accounting pronouncements that address fair value measurements
for purposes of lease classification or measurement under FASB No. 13. However, this scope
exception does not apply to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that
are required to be measured at fair value under FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations or
FASB No. 141R, Business Combinations. This FSP is effective upon initial adoption of SFAS No.
157. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 on July 1, 2008, and the adoption did not have any
significant impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
The Company determined that it does not have any financial assets or liabilities subject to the
disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 157, and is evaluating the impact on its non-financial assets
and liabilities.
Page 37
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and
certain other items at fair value. The election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and
is irrevocable. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, SFAS No. 159 specifies that
all subsequent changes in fair value for that instrument shall be reported in earnings. The
objective of the pronouncement is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the
opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and
liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This
Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after
November 15, 2007, or in the Companys case, July 1, 2008. The Company has not made any fair value
elections under SFAS No. 159 and, as a result, this Statement did not have any impact on its
consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, which
replaces SFAS No. 141. The statement retains the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions,
but requires a number of changes, including changes in the way assets and liabilities are
recognized in the purchase accounting. It also changes the recognition of assets acquired and
liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization of in-process research
and development at fair value, and requires the expensing of acquisition related costs as incurred.
SFAS No. 141R is effective for us beginning July 1, 2009 and will apply prospectively to business
combinations completed on or after that date.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes in the Registrants exposure to market risk since June 30,
2008. Additional information can be found in Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Market Risk, which appears on page 14 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2008.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer previously concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2008 and management reported
that there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
quarter ended December 31, 2008 that materially affected, or was reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Page 38
A re-evaluation was performed as of December 31, 2008 under the supervision and with the
participation of the Registrants management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Registrants disclosure
controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon this evaluation, the Registrants Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Registrants disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective as of December 31, 2008, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the
reports the Registrant files and submits under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized
and reported as and when required due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the identification of reporting units under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets (SFAS No.
142). The Company has restated its condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form
10-Q/A to reflect the correct amount of impairment related to goodwill for the quarter ended
December 31, 2008 and has taken certain other remedial actions as of the date of the filing of this
Form 10-Q/A as described further below. Therefore, management believes that the Condensed
Consolidated financial statements included in this
Form 10-Q/A present fairly, in all material
respects, the Companys position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Changes in Internal Control
Other than as described above, there were no changes in the Companys internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the
fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2008, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Remediation Steps to Address Material Weakness
As of the date of this amended filing, the Company believes this material weakness has been
remediated by the implementation of new procedures with respect to how the goodwill impairment
tests are conducted. Management re-analyzed the technical application of SFAS No. 142 and
redefined its reporting units for goodwill impairment testing. The goodwill impairment tests are
now performed at the operating segment level, which is the lowest level discrete financial
information available and regularly reviewed by management. These additional procedures have been
designed to ensure that all technical aspects of SFAS No. 142 are properly considered and applied.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Other than with respect to the new risk factor below, there have been no material changes from
the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.
Our operating results may be adversely affected by unfavorable economic and market conditions.
Economic conditions worldwide have from time to time contributed to slowdowns in our industry
at large, as well as to the specific segments and markets in which we operate. When combined with
ongoing customer consolidation activity and periodic manufacturing and inventory initiatives, the
current uncertain macro-economic climate, including but not limited to the effects of weakness in
credit markets, could lead to reduced demand from our customers and increased price competition for
our products, increased risk of excess and obsolete inventories and higher overhead costs as a
percentage of revenue. If the markets in which we participate experience further economic
downturns, as well as a slow recovery period, this could negatively impact our sales and revenue
generation, margins and operating expenses, and consequently have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Page 39
In addition, we have significant goodwill and intangible assets recorded on our balance sheet.
We will continue to evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our goodwill and
intangible assets on an ongoing basis, and we may incur substantial non-cash impairment charges,
which would adversely affect our financial results. There can be no assurance that the outcome of
such reviews in the future will not result in substantial impairment charges. Impairment
assessment inherently involves judgment as to assumptions about expected future cash flows and the
impact of market conditions on those assumptions. Future events and changing market conditions may
impact our assumptions as to prices, costs, holding periods or other factors that may result in changes in our estimates of future cash flows. Although we believe the
assumptions we used in testing for impairment are reasonable, significant changes in any one of our
assumptions could produce a significantly different result.
