NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

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 Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2011, the results of its operations for the three month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and its cash flows for the three month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes included in the fiscal 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Financial information as of June 30, 2011 has been derived from the Company’s 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 (collectively, the “Company”), all of which are wholly owned. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 from product sales is typically recognized at time of shipment. In certain arrangements with customers, as is the case with the sale of some of our solid-state LED (light emitting diode) video screens, revenue is recognized upon customer acceptance of the video screen at the job site. 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 Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition: Multiple–Element Arrangements, and ASC Subtopic 985-605, 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 essential to the functionality of the tangible product and are thus excluded from the scope of ASC Subtopic 985-605.

Page 6

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 Company’s 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 based on the due date of the remaining receivables. The resulting allowance for doubtful accounts receivable is an estimate based upon the Company’s knowledge of its business and customer base, and historical trends. The Company also establishes allowances, at the time revenue is recognized, for returns, discounts, pricing and other possible customer deductions. These allowances are based upon historical trends.

The following table presents the Company’s net accounts receivable at the dates indicated.

(In thousands)	September 30,			June 30,
	2011			2011

Accounts receivable	$	42,204		$	45,800
less Allowance for doubtful accounts		(727	)		(826	)
Accounts receivable, net	$	41,477		$	44,974

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The cash balance includes cash and cash equivalents which have original maturities of less than three months. The Company maintains balances at financial institutions in the United States and Canada. The balances at financial institutions in Canada are not covered by insurance. As of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, the Company had bank balances of $1,388,000 and $1,235,000, respectively, in excess of FDIC insured limits and therefore without insurance coverage.

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	28 - 40 years
Machinery and equipment	3 - 10 years
Computer software	3 - 8 years

Costs related to the purchase, internal development, and implementation of the Company’s fully integrated enterprise resource planning/business operating software system are either capitalized or expensed in accordance with ASC Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Internal-Use Software. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of fifteen years or the remaining term of the lease.

The following table presents the Company’s property, plant and equipment at the dates indicated.

(In thousands)	September 30,			June 30,
	2011			2011

Property, plant and equipment, at cost	$	113,347		$	112,567
less Accumulated depreciation		(69,590	)		(68,283	)
Property, plant and equipment, net	$	43,757		$	44,284

Page 7

The Company recorded $1,319,000 and $1,321,000 of depreciation expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and 2011, 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 Company's balance sheet. The definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized to expense over periods ranging between two and twenty years. The Company periodically evaluates definite-lived intangible assets for permanent impairment. Neither indefinite-lived intangible assets nor the excess of cost over fair value of assets acquired ("goodwill") are amortized, however they are subject to review for impairment. See additional information about goodwill and intangibles in Note 7.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The Company has financial instruments consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents, 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 defective products returned within one to five years from the 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 Company’s warranty liabilities, which are included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, during the periods indicated below were as follows:

	Three			Three			Fiscal
	Months Ended			Months Ended			Year Ended
(In thousands)	September 30,			September 30,			June 30,
	2011			2010			2011

Balance at beginning of the period	$	662		$	589		$	589
Additions charged to expense		203			516			1,606
Deductions for repairs and replacements		(272	)		(302	)		(1,533	)
Balance at end of the period	$	593		$	803		$	662

Research and Development Costs:

Research and development expenses are costs directly attributable to new product development, including the development of new technology for both existing and new products, 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. The Company follows the requirements of ASC Subtopic 985-20, Software: Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed, and expenses as research and development all costs associated with development of software used in solid-state LED products. Research and development costs related to both product and software development totaled $1,164,000, and $1,480,000 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and are included in selling and administrative expenses.

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 Company’s 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 319,000 shares and 241,000 shares for the three month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. See further discussion in Note 4.

Page 8

New Accounting Pronouncements:

In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2010-29, "Business Combinations (Topic 805)." This amended guidance addresses the diversity in practice related to the interpretation of pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure requirements for business combinations. The objective of this update is for preparers to use a consistent method of reporting pro forma revenue and earnings as a result of a business combination. The amended guidance is for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010 or the Company’s fiscal year 2012. The Company will follow this guidance on future acquisitions.

Comprehensive Income:

The Company does not have any comprehensive income items other than net income.

Subsequent Events:

The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were filed. No items were identified during this evaluation that required adjustment to or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements.

Reclassifications:

Certain reclassifications may have been made to prior year amounts in order to be consistent with the presentation for the current year. For segment reporting, net operating income, depreciation and amortization, and certain assets and liabilities related to the LED video screen product line have been reclassified from the Graphics Segment to the Lighting Segment. See further discussion in Note 3.

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 - BUSINESS SEGMENT AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS INFORMATION

ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, 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 Company’s 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 Electronic Components), an All Other Category, and Corporate and Eliminations.

In fiscal 2012, a change was made to reclassify net sales of LED solid-state digital sports and video screens from the Graphics Segment to the Lighting Segment. The change was made to reflect the transfer of the sales effort related to the LED video screens to the Lighting Segment sales team. As a result of the transfer of the LED video screen product line, the assets (primarily intangible assets) and liabilities required to support the product line were transferred from the Graphics Segment to the Lighting Segment. Fiscal year 2011 segment information was reclassified to reflect the transfer of these responsibilities. The changes described in this paragraph were made for all periods reported in these financial statements and they had no impact on the Company’s consolidated results. Also in fiscal year 2012, the Company implemented a policy whereby operating companies are charged for the usage of research and development resources located in the Company's Montreal facility in the All Other Category. In previous fiscal years, these same research and development costs were charged entirely to corporate administrative expense.

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, the petroleum/convenience store market, and LED solid state digital sports video screens. LED video screens are designed and manufactured by the Company’s Lighting Segment and by LSI Saco in the All Other Category. 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. The LSI Greenlee facility in Dallas, Texas was consolidated into the Company’s main lighting facility in Ohio in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

Page 9

The Graphics Segment designs, manufactures and installs exterior and interior visual image elements related to graphics. These products are used in visual image programs in several markets, including the petroleum/convenience store market and multi-site retail operations. 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 each exhibit similar economic characteristics and meet the other requirements for aggregation in segment reporting.

The Electronic Components Segment designs, engineers and manufactures custom designed electronic circuit boards, assemblies and sub-assemblies used in various applications including the control of solid-state LED lighting. Products produced by this segment may have applications in the Company’s other LED product lines such as digital scoreboards, advertising ribbon boards and billboards. The Electronic Components Segment includes the operations of LSI ADL Technology.

The All Other Category includes the Company’s operating segments that neither meet the aggregation criteria, nor the criteria to be a separate reportable segment. Operations of 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, operations of LSI Saco Technologies (designs and produces high-performance light engines, large format video screens using solid-state LED technology, and certain specialty LED lighting) are included in the All Other Category.

The Company’s corporate administration activities are reported in a line item titled Corporate and Eliminations. This primarily includes intercompany profit in inventory eliminations, expense related to certain corporate officers and support staff, the Company’s internal audit staff, the Company’s Board of Directors, stock option expense, certain consulting expenses, investor relations activities, a portion of the Company’s legal, auditing and professional fee expenses, and certain research and development expense. Corporate identifiable assets primarily consist of cash, invested cash (if any), refundable income taxes, and deferred income tax assets.

The Company’s Lighting Segment and Graphics Segment net sales to 7-Eleven, Inc. represented approximately $19,519,000 or 24% of consolidated net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2010. There was no concentration of consolidated net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2011. The accounts receivable balance from 7-Eleven, Inc. at September 30, 2010 was $6,836,000 or 16% of consolidated net accounts receivable. There was no concentration of accounts receivable at September 30, 2011 or June 30, 2011.

NOTE 7 - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, the Company is required to perform an annual impairment test of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company performed this test as of July 1st of each fiscal year, with the last test performed using this date as of July 1, 2010. The Company decided to change the annual testing from July 1st to March 1st in order to reduce administrative burden. The change from a testing date of July 1st to March 1st resulted in two impairment tests in fiscal 2011 that were eight months apart. The Company also performs the test on an interim basis when an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company uses a combination of the market approach and the income (discounted cash flow) approach in determining the fair value of its reporting units. Under ASC Topic 350, the goodwill impairment test is a two-step process. Under the first step, the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is compared to its respective carrying value. An indication that goodwill is impaired occurs when the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying value. When there is an indication that goodwill is impaired, the Company is required to perform a second step. In step two, the actual impairment of goodwill is calculated by comparing the implied fair value of the goodwill with the carrying value of the goodwill.

The Company identified its reporting units in conjunction with its annual goodwill impairment testing. 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 marketplace data, to name a few. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and judgments in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment.

Based upon the Company’s analysis as of July 1, 2010, it was determined that the goodwill associated with the four reporting units that contained goodwill was not impaired. The goodwill impairment test in the Electronic Components Segment passed with an estimated business enterprise value that was $2.2 million or 10% above the carrying value of this reporting unit. The goodwill impairment test in the All Other Category passed with an estimated business enterprise value that was $0.9 million or 84% above the carrying value of the reporting unit. The goodwill impairment tests in the Lighting and Graphics Segments passed with a margin in excess of 600% and 150%, respectively.

The Company performed a second annual goodwill impairment test, as of March 1, 2011, as a result of the change in the timing of the performance of the annual test as noted above. Based upon the Company’s analyses as of March 1, 2011, it was determined that the goodwill associated with the four reporting units that contained goodwill was not impaired. The goodwill impairment test in the Electronic Components Segment passed with an estimated business enterprise value that was $16.5 million or 69% above the carrying value of this reporting unit. The goodwill impairment test of the Lighting Segment passed with an estimated business enterprise value that was $134.7 million or 42% above the carrying value of the reporting unit. The goodwill impairment test of the Graphics Segment passed with an estimated business enterprise value that was $22.0 million or 91% above the carrying value of this reporting unit. The goodwill impairment test in the All Other Category passed with a margin in excess of 265%.

Page 14

Due to the continuing effects of the recession on some of the Company’s markets, the decline in discounted cash flows associated with these markets, and the decline in the Company’s stock price, led management to believe that an additional goodwill impairment test was required for three of the four reporting units that contain goodwill, as of September 30, 2011. As a result of the test, it was determined that the goodwill associated with the Graphics Segment was fully impaired. It was also determined that the goodwill associated with the other reporting units tested was not impaired. Because the test is not complete, an estimate of the goodwill impairment was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 totaling $258,000. It is estimated that the goodwill impairment test will be complete by the end of the second quarter at which time any adjustments to the estimate will be recorded.

The following table presents information about the Company's goodwill on the dates or for the periods indicated.

Based upon the Company’s analysis as of July 1, 2010, it was determined that its indefinite-lived intangible assets were not impaired. The Company performed a second annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test, as of March 1, 2011, as a result of the change in the timing of the performance of the annual test. Based upon the Company’s analysis as of March 1, 2011, it was determined that its indefinite-lived intangible assets were not impaired.

NOTE 8 - REVOLVING LINES OF CREDIT AND LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company has a $30 million unsecured revolving line of credit with its bank group in the U.S., all of which was available as of September 30, 2011. The line of credit expires in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. Annually in the third quarter, the credit facility is renewable with respect to adding an additional year of commitment, if the bank group so chooses, 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, or at the bank’s base lending rate, at the Company’s option. The increment over the LIBOR borrowing rate, as periodically determined, fluctuates between 175 and 215 basis points depending upon the ratio of indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), as defined in the credit facility. The fee on the unused balance of the $30 million committed line of credit is 25 basis points. Under terms of this credit facility, the Company has agreed to a negative pledge of assets and is required to comply with financial covenants that limit the amount of debt obligations, require a minimum amount of tangible net worth, and limit the ratio of indebtedness to EBITDA.

The Company also has a $5 million line of credit for its Canadian subsidiary. The line of credit expires in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. Interest on the Canadian subsidiary’s line of credit is charged based upon a 200 basis point increment over the LIBOR rate or based upon an increment over the United States base rate 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. There are no borrowings against this line of credit as of September 30, 2011.

The Company assumed a mortgage loan with the acquisition of AdL Technology in July 2009. Monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $10,000 are to be made through August, 2012 at an interest rate of 7.76%, at which time the balance is payable in full. The real estate of LSI ADL Technology has been pledged as collateral for the mortgage.

The Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants as of September 30, 2011.

NOTE 9 - CASH DIVIDENDS

The Company paid cash dividends of $1,202,000 in each of the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In October 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a $0.06 per share regular quarterly cash dividend (approximately $1,442,000) payable on November 15, 2011 to shareholders of record November 8, 2011.

NOTE 10 - 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 certain 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. If a stock option holder’s employment with the Company terminates by reason of death, disability or retirement, as defined in the Plan, the Plan generally provides for acceleration of vesting. The number of shares reserved for issuance is 2,800,000, of which 717,959 shares were available for future grant or award as of September 30, 2011. 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 September 30, 2011, a total of 2,104,789 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 1,519,739 options for common shares were vested and exercisable. The approximate unvested stock option expense as of September 30, 2011 that will be recorded as expense in future periods is $641,366. The weighted average time over which this expense will be recorded is approximately 18 months.

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.

	Three Months Ended September 30
		2011	2010

Dividend yield		--	3.76%
Expected volatility		--	52%
Risk-free interest rate		--	1.4%
Expected life		--	4.5 yrs.

At September 30, 2010, the 282,200 options granted in the first three months of fiscal 2010 to both employees and non-employee directors had per share exercise prices ranging from $4.84 to $6.07, fair values ranging from $1.60 to $2.15, and remaining contractual lives of between nine years and nine months and ten years.

Page 17

The Company calculates stock option expense using the Black-Scholes model. Stock option expense is recorded on a straight line basis with an estimated 3.6% forfeiture rate effective July 1, 2011, with the previous estimated forfeiture rate having been 3.0% prior to July 1, 2011. The expected volatility of the Company’s 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 Company’s policy that when stock options are exercised, new common shares shall be issued. The Company recorded $128,100 and $414,800 of expense related to stock options in three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of September 30, 2011, the Company expects that approximately 567,991 outstanding stock options having a weighted average exercise price of $7.23 per share, intrinsic value of $225,543 and weighted average remaining contractual terms of 8.1 years will vest in the future.

Information related to all stock options for the periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 is shown in the table below:

The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the three month period ended September 30, 2011 was $1,960. The Company received $10,420 of cash from employees who exercised 2,000 options during the three months ended September 30, 2011. None of the shares of stock were sold.

Stock Compensation Awards

The Company awarded a total of 1,220 and 2,068 common shares, respectively, in the three months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 as stock compensation awards. These common shares were valued at their approximate $10,000 and $10,000 fair market values, respectively, on their dates of issuance, respectively, pursuant to the compensation programs for non-employee directors who receive a portion of their compensation as an award of Company common stock. Stock compensation awards are made in the form of newly issued common shares of the Company.

Page 18

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 September 30, 2011 there were 28 participants, all with fully vested account balances. A total of 263,297 common shares with a cost of $2,624,200, and 244,868 common shares with a cost of $2,499,700 were held in the Plan as of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, 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 ASC Topic 710, Compensation – General. For fiscal year 2012, the Company estimates the Rabbi Trust for the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan will make net repurchases in the range of 22,000 to 24,000 common shares of the Company. During the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company used approximately $124,500 and $95,800, 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.

Summary Comments

Fiscal 2012 first quarter net sales of $65,495,000 decreased $14.4 million or 18.0% as compared to first quarter fiscal 2011. Net sales were favorably influenced by increased net sales of the Lighting Segment (up $0.7 million or 1.5%). Net sales were unfavorably influenced by Graphics Segment (down $14.6 million or 58.2%), the Electronic Components Segment (down $0.2 million or 3.5%), and the All Other Category (down $0.3 million or 17%). Net sales to the Petroleum / Convenience Store market, the Company’s largest niche market, were $18,302,000 or 28% of total net sales and $33,822,000 or 42% of total net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively. The $15.6 million or 45% drop is primarily due to the completion of the program with 7-Eleven, Inc., who replaced traditional canopy, site and sign lighting with solid-state LED lighting. Net sales to this petroleum / convenience store customer are reported in both the Lighting and Graphics segments.

The Company’s total net sales of products and services related to solid-state LED technology in light fixtures and video screens for sports, advertising and entertainment markets have been recorded as indicated in the table below. In addition, the Company sells certain elements of graphic identification programs that contain solid-state LED light sources.

	LED Net Sales

Third Quarter				12,943
Nine Months				47,201
Fourth Quarter				21,453
Full Year			$	68,654

LED net sales includes sales of LED lighting products, certain graphics products containing LEDs, and LED video and sports screens. First quarter fiscal 2012 LED net sales of $15,842,000 were down $0.8 million or 4.9% from the same period of the prior year. The $15,842,000 total LED net sales and the $0.8 million reduction are primarily the net result of Lighting Segment LED net sales of $14,904,000 (up $1.3 million or 9.4%), Graphics Segment LED net sales of $0.4 million (down $1.7 million or 79%) and All Other Category LED net sales of $0.5 million (down $0.4 million or 45%). (Net sales reflect the reclassification of the LED video screen product line from the Graphics Segment to the Lighting Segment. See Note 4.)

Through fiscal 2011 and the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company continued to encounter the effects of a global economic recession with significant negative economic forces, including declining industrial production, high unemployment, roller coaster commodity pricing, and record low confidence levels, as well as issues such as tight credit markets which could affect many customers and a weakened housing market that indirectly could affect the Company’s business. Taken as a whole, these factors continue to cause a substantial reduction in demand for our lighting and graphics products. Virtually all of our markets have been adversely impacted and our business has suffered as a result of these circumstances. During these difficult and uncertain economic conditions, we continue to take a number of proactive steps to “right size” LSI Industries to meet today’s challenges. Such actions include strict control of expenses and capital expenditures, close management of accounts receivable and inventories, headcount reductions, and maintaining a conservative financial position coupled with positive free cash flow. We believe the economy will improve even though the time frame for such improvement is uncertain at this time. As we continue to adjust our expense levels to lower production rates and manage working capital efficiently, we are also strategically positioning the business for future growth and remain positive about the longer term outlook and opportunities for the Company, notwithstanding the current economic conditions that will likely continue to impact results during the next several quarters. LSI is still facing a period of challenging business conditions in the near term due to the general economic conditions, but expects to emerge a stronger and more efficient company as business conditions improve.

Lighting Segment net sales of $49,171,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 increased 1.5% from fiscal 2011 same period net sales of $48,446,000. The $0.7 million increase in Lighting Segment net sales is primarily the net result of a $0.2 million or 1% net decrease in lighting sales to our niche markets (petroleum / convenience store market net sales were down 9%), and in national retail accounts, and a $0.7 million or 3% increase in commissioned net sales to the commercial / industrial lighting market. Sales of lighting to the petroleum / convenience store market represented 27% and 31% of Lighting Segment net sales in the first quarter of fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively. Lighting Segment net sales of lighting to this, the Company’s largest niche market, were down 9.2% from last year to $13,276,000, with approximately $4.7 million of the decrease related to conclusion of a program with 7-Eleven, Inc., who replaced traditional canopy, site and sign lighting with solid-state LED lighting. The petroleum / convenience store market has been, and will continue to be, a very important niche market for the Company. The Lighting Segment’s net sales of light fixtures having solid-state LED technology totaled $14.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, representing a 16% increase from fiscal 2011 first quarter net sales of solid-state LED light fixtures of $12.7 million. The Lighting Segment’s net sales related to LED video screens totaled $0.2 million, representing an 80% decrease from fiscal 2011 first quarter sales of $1.0 million. Lighting Segment sales to the international markets increased 47% to $3.1 million.

Gross profit of $11,741,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 increased slightly from the same period of fiscal 2011, and decreased from 23.9% to 23.6% as a percentage of Lighting Segment net sales (customer plus inter-segment net sales). The slight increase in amount of gross profit is due to the net effect of increased net sales, decreased overhead absorption and increased wages and benefits ($0.3 million).

Selling and administrative expenses of $8,437,000 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 increased $0.1 million from the same period of fiscal 2011 primarily as the net result of decreased employee compensation and benefits expense ($0.2 million), decreased bad debt expense ($0.2 million), increased research and development expense ($0.1 million), increased sales commission ($0.1 million), and increased customer relations expense ($0.1 million).

The Lighting Segment first quarter fiscal 2012 operating income of $3,304,000 decreased $0.2 million or 3.4% from operating income of $3,422,000 in the same period of fiscal 2011. This decrease of $0.2 million was primarily the net result of increased net sales and increased selling and administrative expenses.

Graphics Segment net sales of $10,488,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 decreased 58.2% from fiscal 2011 same period net sales of $25,116,000. The $14.6 million decrease in Graphics Segment net sales is primarily the net result of the completion of the program with 7-Eleven, Inc. ($13.3 million decrease), image conversion programs and sales to four petroleum / convenience store customers ($2.4 million decrease), two grocery retailers ($0.7 million decrease), a national drug store retailer ($0.6 million increase), a quick-service restaurant chain ($1.1 million increase) and changes in volume or completion of several other graphics programs. Sales of graphics products and services to the petroleum / convenience store market represented 48% and 74% of Graphics Segment net sales in the first quarter of fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively. Graphics Segment net sales of graphics to this, the Company’s largest niche market, were down 74% from last year to $5,026,000, with approximately $13.3 million of the decrease related to the completion of the program with 7-Eleven, Inc., who replaced traditional sign lighting with solid-state LED lighting. The petroleum / convenience store market has been, and will continue to be, a very important niche market for the Company. The Graphics Segment net sales of graphic identification products that contain solid-state LED light sources and LED lighting for signage totaled $0.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to $2.1 million in the same period of the prior year.

Image and brand programs, whether full conversions or enhancements, are important to the Company’s 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 existing retail stores. 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 business is awarded to the Company. Sales related to a customer’s image or brand program are reported in either the Lighting Segment, Graphics Segment, or the All Other Category depending upon the product and/or service provided.

Gross profit of $1,861,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 decreased $5.3 million or 74% from the same period fiscal 2011, and decreased from 27.9% to 17.5% as a percentage of Graphics Segment net sales (customer plus inter-segment net sales). The decrease in amount of gross profit is due to the net effect of decreased net sales, decreased overhead absorption, decreased installation costs ($3.5 million) and decreased freight costs ($1.2 million). The following items also influenced the Graphics Segment’s gross profit margin: competitive pricing pressures; $0.2 million decreased benefits and compensation; $0.2 million decreased warranty costs; $0.1 million increase in supplies; and $0.1 million decreased depreciation.

Selling and administrative expenses of $2,442,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 increased $0.1 million from the same period of fiscal 2011 primarily as a net result of decreased benefits and compensation ($0.1 million) offset by an increase in goodwill impairment expense ($0.3 million).

The Graphics Segment first quarter fiscal 2012 operating loss of ($581,000) decreased $5.4 million from operating income of $4,826,000 in the same period of fiscal 2011. The $5.4 million decrease in operating income was the result of decreased net sales, decreased gross profit, and increased selling and administrative expenses.

Electronic Components Segment net sales of $4,404,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 decreased 3.5% from fiscal 2011 same period net sales of $4,564,000. The $0.2 million decrease in Electronic Components Segment net sales is primarily the result of decreased net sales to recurring customers served. In addition to this segment’s decline in customer sales, its intersegment net sales grew 141% in support of LED lighting sales.

Gross profit of $1,478,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 increased slightly from the same period in fiscal 2011, and decreased from 22.3% to 16.0% as a percentage of net sales (customer plus inter-segment net sales).The slight increase in amount of gross profit is due to decreased customer net sales offset by increased intersegment net sales at a reduced margin.

Selling and administrative expenses of $413,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 were slightly reduced from the same period in fiscal 2011.

The Electronic Components Segment first quarter fiscal 2012 operating income of $1,065,000 increased slightly from operating income of $1,039,000 in the same period of fiscal 2011. The slight increase in operating income was the result of decreased net customer sales, offset by increased intersegment net sales.

All Other Category net sales of $1,432,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 decreased 17.0% from fiscal 2011 net sales of $1,725,000. The $0.3 million decrease in the All Other Category net sales is primarily the net result of net increased sales of menu board systems ($0.1 million), net decreased net sales of LED video screens to the entertainment and other markets ($0.1 million), and decreased net sales of specialty LED lighting ($0.3 million)

The gross profit of $542,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compares to gross profit of $385,000 in the same period of fiscal 2011. The $0.2 million increase is primarily the net result of decreased net sales, decreased overhead spending ($0.1 million), and an improvement in customer margins.

Selling and administrative expenses of $681,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 were relatively level with the same period of the prior year. Changes of expense between years include decreased benefit and wage expense ($0.1 million) offset by increased research and development spending ($0.3 million).

The All Other Category first quarter fiscal 2012 operating loss of ($139,000) compares to operating loss of ($315,000) in the same period of fiscal 2011. This $0.2 million improvement in operating loss was the net result of decreased net sales offset by improved gross profit.

The negative gross profit relates to the intercompany profit in inventory elimination.

Administrative expenses of $1,313,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 were down $1.0 million or 42.3% from the same period of the prior year. The reduction in expense is primarily related to reduced benefit and wage expense ($0.3 million) and reduced research and development expenses ($0.7 million). Effective July 1, 2011, management implemented a policy whereby research and development expenses required to support LED video screen technology, which originate at the Company's Montreal facility in the All Other Category, are charged to other LSI locations based upon the usage of these research and development resources. In previous years, these same research and development costs were charged entirely to corporate administrative expense. This change resulted in a reduction in research and development expenses on corporate and a corresponding increase in research and development expenses in the Lighting Segment and the All Other Category. This change more closely aligns LED video screen sales with the research and development resources required to support the video screen sales.

Consolidated Results

The Company reported net interest expense of $40,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to net interest expense of $22,000 in the same period of fiscal 2011. Commitment fees related to the unused portions of the Company’s lines of credit, interest on the mortgage associated with the LSI ADL real estate and interest income on invested cash are included in the net interest expense amounts above.

The $814,000 income tax expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 represents a consolidated effective tax rate of 38.1%. This is the net result of an income tax rate of 35.2% for the Company’s U.S. operations influenced by certain permanent book-tax differences that were significant relative to the amount of taxable income, by the goodwill impairment of $258,000 for which there was no tax effect, by certain U.S. federal and Canadian income tax credits, by a benefit related to uncertain income tax positions, and by a full valuation reserve on the Company’s Canadian tax position. The $2,332,000 income tax expense in the same period of the prior year represents a consolidated effective tax rate of 35.3%. This is the net result of an income tax rate of 35.2% for the Company’s U.S. operations, influenced by certain permanent book-tax differences that were significant relative to the amount of taxable income, by certain U.S. federal and Canadian income tax credits, by a benefit related to uncertain income tax positions, and by a full valuation reserve on the Company’s Canadian tax position.

Page 23

The Company reported net income of $1,324,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to net income of $4,268,000 in the same period of the prior year. The decreased net income is primarily the result of decreased net sales and decreased gross profit, offset by decreased operating expenses and by decreased income tax expense. Diluted earnings per share were $0.05 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to $0.18 in the same period of fiscal 2011. The weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 were 24,360,000 shares as compared to 24,289,000 shares in the same period last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company considers its level of cash on hand, borrowing capacity, 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 September 30, 2011, the Company had working capital of $85.1 million, compared to $84.5 million at June 30, 2011. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 5.17 to 1 as compared to a ratio of 4.92 to 1 at June 30, 2011. The $0.6 million increase in working capital from June 30, 2011 to September 30, 2011 was primarily related to the net effect of increased cash and cash equivalents ($7.0 million) and decreased accrued expenses ($3.1 million), offset by decreased net accounts receivable ($3.5 million), decreased net inventory ($3.0 million), increased accounts payable ($1.0 million), decreased refundable income tax ($1.0 million) and increased current maturity of long-term debt ($1.0 million). The Company has a strategy of aggressively managing working capital, including reduction of the accounts receivable days sales outstanding (DSO) and reduction of inventory levels, without reducing service to our customers.

The Company generated $9.1 million of cash from operating activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to a use of $2.5 million in the same period of the prior year. This $11.6 million increase in net cash flows from operating activities is primarily the net result of a decrease rather an increase in accounts receivable (favorable change of $10.4 million), a decrease rather an increase in inventories (favorable change of $6.0 million), a decrease rather an increase in customer prepayments (favorable change of $1.3 million), a greater increase in accounts payable (favorable change of $0.8 million), a greater decrease in accrued expense (unfavorable change of $2.3 million), and less net income (unfavorable change of $2.9 million).

Net accounts receivable were $41.5 million and $45.0 million at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively. The decrease of $3.5 million in net receivables is primarily due to combined effects of lower amount of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, offset by a higher DSO. The DSO increased to 55 days at September 30, 2011 from 53 days at June 30, 2011. The Company believes that its receivables are ultimately collectible or recoverable, net of certain reserves, and that aggregate allowances for doubtful accounts are adequate.

Net inventories at September 30, 2011 decreased $3.0 million from June 30, 2011 levels. Based on a strategy of balancing inventory reductions with customer service and the timing of shipments, net inventory decreases occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 in the Lighting Segment of approximately $1.1 million, in the Graphics Segment of approximately $0.7 million, and in the Electronic Components Segment of approximately $1.7 million. A net inventory increase occurred in the All Other Category of approximately $0.5 million.

Cash generated from operations and borrowing capacity under two line of credit facilities are the Company’s primary source of liquidity. The Company has an unsecured $30 million revolving line of credit with its bank group, with all $30 million of the credit line available as of October 20, 2011. This line of credit is a $30 million three year committed credit facility expiring in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. Additionally, the Company has a separate $5 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 October 20, 2011, all $5 million of this line of credit is available. The Company believes that $35 million total lines of credit plus cash flows from operating activities are adequate for the Company’s fiscal 2012 operational and capital expenditure needs. The Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants.

Page 24

The Company used $0.8 million of cash related to investing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to a use of $1.5 million in the same period of the prior year, a favorable change of $0.7 million. The change between years relates to the amount of fixed assets purchased. Capital spending in both periods is primarily for tooling and equipment. The Company expects fiscal 2012 capital expenditures to be approximately $5.0 million, exclusive of business acquisitions, if any.

The Company used $1.3 million of cash related to financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to a use of the same amount in the same period of the prior year. The components of the use of cash are $1.2 million for dividend payments with the remainder related to the principal payments on the mortgage of the LSI ADL facility and the purchase of treasury shares related to the Company’s deferred compensation plan.

The Company has, or could have, on its balance sheet 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk and has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Cash Dividends

On October 26, 2011 the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share (approximately $1,442,000) payable November 15, 2011 to shareholders of record on November 8, 2011. The Company’s 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 Company’s 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 the indicated annual cash dividend rate of $0.24 per share beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2012 consistent with the above dividend policy.

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 management’s 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

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. In certain arrangements with customers, as is the case with the sale of some of our solid-state LED video screens, revenue is recognized upon customer acceptance of the video screen at the job site. 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.

Page 25

Shipping and handling revenue coincides with the recognition of revenue from sale of the product.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, 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 Company’s balance sheet. Significant management judgment is required in developing the Company’s income tax provision, including the estimation of taxable income and the effective income tax rates in the multiple taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates, the estimation of the liability for uncertain income tax positions, 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 Company’s tax returns. These audits can involve complex issues which may require an extended period of time to resolve. In management’s opinion, adequate provision has been made for potential adjustments arising from these examinations.

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 twelve months.

Asset Impairment

Carrying values of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed at least annually for possible impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The Company’s 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. Also see Note 7.

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 as required by ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. 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 Company’s 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.

Page 26

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 Company’s 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 based on the due date of the remaining receivables. The resulting allowance for doubtful accounts receivable is an estimate based upon the Company’s knowledge of its business and customer base, and historical trends. The amount ultimately not collected may differ from the reserve established, particularly in the case where percentages are applied against aging categories. In all cases, it is management’s goal to carry a reserve against the Company’s accounts receivable which is adequate based upon the information available at that time so that net accounts receivable is properly stated. 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.

Warranty Reserves

The Company maintains a warranty reserve which is reflective of its limited warranty policy. The warranty reserve covers the estimated future costs to repair or replace defective product or installation services, whether the product is returned or it is repaired in the field. The warranty reserve is first determined based upon known claims or issues, and then by the application of a specific percentage of sales to cover general claims. The percentage applied to sales to calculate general claims is based upon historical claims as a percentage of sales. Management addresses the adequacy of its warranty reserves on a quarterly basis to ensure the reserve is accurate based upon the most current information.

Inventory Reserves

The Company maintains an inventory reserve for probable obsolescence of its inventory. The Company first determines its obsolete inventory reserve by considering specific known obsolete items, and then by applying certain percentages to specific inventory categories based upon inventory turns. The Company uses various tools, in addition to inventory turns, to identify which inventory items have the potential to become obsolete. Significant judgment is used to establish obsolescence reserves and management adjusts these reserves as more information becomes available about the ultimate disposition of the inventory item. Management values inventory at lower of cost or market.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350).” This amended guidance is intended to simplify the test of goodwill for impairment by allowing companies to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether or not it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value as the basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. Current guidance requires companies to perform an annual goodwill impairment test. The amended guidance is for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, or the Company’s fiscal year 2013, with early adoption permissible. The company will follow this guidance when it is adopted.
