(5) Richardson Electronics, Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements Three-Month Period Ended August 31, 2000 (Unaudited) Note A -- Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Statements) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods covered have been reflected in the Statements. Certain information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted in accordance with the aforementioned instructions. It is suggested that the Statements be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000. The Statements are presented for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 (period ended August 31, 2000) compared to first quarter of fiscal 2000 (period ended August 31, 1999). The Company accounts for its results of operations on a 52/53 week period ending on the Saturday nearest May 31 each year. Results for the first quarter include 13 weeks in fiscal 2001 and 14 weeks in fiscal 2000. Note B -- Income Taxes The income tax provisions for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2000 and August 31, 1999 are based on the estimated annual effective tax rates of 32% and 30%, respectively. The effective rate is less than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% due to U.S. foreign sales corporation tax benefits and utilization of previously unrecognized foreign net operating loss carryforwards, partially offset by state income taxes. Note C - Calculation of Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of Common and Class B Common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (adjusted for interest savings, net of tax, on assumed bond conversions) by the actual shares outstanding and share equivalents that would arise from the exercise of stock options and the assumed conversion of convertible bonds. Out-of-the- money (exercise price higher than market price) stock options are excluded from the calculation because they are anti-dilutive. The Company's 8 1/4% and (6) Richardson Electronics, Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements Three-Month Period Ended August 31, 2000 (Unaudited) 7 1/4% convertible debentures are excluded from the calculation in fiscal 2000 as assumed conversion would be anti-dilutive. The per share amounts presented in the Consolidated Condensed Income Statement are based on the following amounts: First Quarter FY 2001 FY 2000 ------- ------- Numerator for basic EPS: Net income $ 4,680 $ 2,701 ======= ======= Denominator for basic EPS: Shares outstanding, June 1 12,987 12,623 Additional shares issued 213 1 ------- ------- Average shares outstanding 13,200 12,624 ======= ======= Numerator for diluted EPS: Net income $4,680 $2,701 Interest savings, net of tax, on assumed conversion of bonds 865 - ------- ------- Adjusted net income $5,545 $2,701 ======= ======= Denominator for diluted EPS: Average shares outstanding 13,200 12,624 Effect of dilutive stock options 648 62 Assumed conversion of bonds 3,680 - ------- ------- Average shares outstanding 17,528 12,686 ======= ======= Note D - Industry and Market Information The Company completed the reorganization of its marketing and sales structure into five strategic business units (SBU's) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. Historical data for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 has been restated to conform to the new organization structure. The new units are: RF & Wireless Communications Group (Wireless), Industrial Power Group (Industrial), Medical Systems Group (Medical), Security Systems Division (Security) and Display Systems Group (Display). Wireless serves the rapidly expanding wireless voice and data telecommunications industry and radio and television broadcast industry. Industrial serves a broad range of customers including the steel, automotive, textile, plastics, semiconductor, marine and avionics industries. Medical serves the medical imaging market, providing system upgrade and integration services in addition to a wide range of diagnostic imaging components. (7) Richardson Electronics, Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements Three-Month Period Ended August 31, 2000 (Unaudited) Security provides security systems and related design services with an emphasis on closed circuit television (CCTV). Display provides system integration and custom product solutions for the public information display, financial, point-of-sale and general data display markets. SBUs are managed by Vice Presidents and General Managers who report to the President and Chief Operating Officer. The President evaluates performance and allocates resources, in part, based on the direct operating contribution of each SBU. Direct operating contribution is defined as gross margin less product management and direct selling expenses. In North America and Europe, the sales force is organized by SBU and, accordingly, these costs are included in direct expenses. In Latin America, Asia / Pacific and the rest of the world, some of the regional sales force is shared and, accordingly, is not included in direct expenses. Inter-segment sales are not significant. Accounts receivable, inventory, goodwill and certain notes receivable are identified by SBU. Cash, net property and other assets are not identifiable by SBU. Accordingly, depreciation, amortization expense and financing costs are not identifiable by SBU. Operating results for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2000 and August 31, 1999 and identifiable assets as of the end of the respective periods by SBU are summarized in the following table (in thousands): Gross Sales Margin Contribution Assets ------- ------- ------------ -------- First Quarter FY 2001 Wireless $57,106 $15,052 $ 10,375 $102,331 Industrial 22,531 7,994 6,607 42,524 Medical 9,896 2,207 1,315 26,645 Security 20,665 4,807 2,240 34,758 Display 9,908 2,344 1,108 20,714 -------- ------- ------------ -------- Total $120,106 $32,404 $ 21,645 $226,972 ======== ======= ============ ======== FY 2000 Wireless $31,381 $8,453 $5,315 $66,670 Industrial 21,114 7,582 5,880 42,168 Medical 10,416 1,958 1,064 24,055 Security 20,606 4,881 2,481 30,805 Display 12,047 3,277 2,128 24,273 -------- ------- ------------ -------- Total $ 95,564 $26,151 $ 16,868 $187,971 ======== ======= ============ ======== (8) Richardson Electronics, Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements Three-Month Period Ended August 31, 2000 (Unaudited) A reconciliation of gross margin, direct operating contribution and assets to the relevant consolidated amounts is as follows.

Terms are generally on open account, payable net 30 days in North America and Latin America, and vary throughout Europe and the Far East. Estimates of credit losses are recorded in the financial statements based on periodic reviews of outstanding accounts. (9) Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition Three-Month Period Ended August 31, 2000 (Unaudited) Results of Operations Sales and Gross Margin Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 were a record $120.1 million, up 25.7% from last year's first quarter of $95.6 million. Under the Company's fiscal calendar, the current quarter contains 13 weeks, while the first quarter of fiscal 2000 contained 14 weeks. Adjusting for the extra week in fiscal 2000, the sales gain was 35.3%. Sales, percentage change from the prior year, gross margins and gross margin percent of sales by SBU are summarized in the following table. Gross margins for each SBU include provisions for returns and overstock. Provisions for LIFO, manufacturing charges and other costs are included under the caption "Corporate" (in thousands). Sales Gross Margin ------------------ ----------------------------------- FY 2001 FY 2000 %Chng FY 2001 GM% FY 2000 GM% -------- ------- ------ ------- ----- ------- ----- First Quarter Wireless $ 57,106 $31,381 82.0% $15,052 26.4% $ 8,453 26.9% Industrial 22,531 21,114 6.7% 7,994 35.5% 7,582 35.9% Medical 9,896 10,416 -5.0% 2,207 22.3% 1,958 18.8% Security 20,665 20,606 0.3% 4,807 23.3% 4,881 23.7% Display 9,908 12,047 -17.8% 2,344 23.7% 3,277 27.2% Corporate - - (771) (483) -------- ------- ------- ------- Total $120,106 $95,564 25.7% $31,633 26.3% $25,668 26.9% ======== ======= ======= ======= Wireless' first quarter sales increased 96.0% from fiscal 2000 levels, adjusted for the extra week, based upon increased demand for RF / microwave components to support the expansion of the cellular infrastructure and deliveries under a telematics contract for an original equipment manufacturer. Telematics is a new technology used in automobiles for all types of wireless communications. Industrial's first quarter sales increased 14.9%, adjusted for the extra week in fiscal 2000, primarily in microwave generators and DC power component products. Sales from the Medical SBU increased 2.3% in fiscal 2001 from the prior year's first quarter, adjusted for the extra week. Sales of high resolution monitors increased an adjusted 60.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from fiscal 2000 levels. Gross margins increased to 22.3% of sales in fiscal 2001 compared to 18.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. The margin improvement reflects better operating efficiencies in tube reloading and lower customer return levels. Certain low-margin sales contracts also affected fiscal 2000 margins. (10) Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition Three-Month Period Ended August 31, 2000 (Unaudited) Security sales increased by an adjusted 8.0% for the first quarter 2001 from fiscal 2000 levels. Gross margins declined slightly to 23.3% from 23.7%. First quarter sales for Display decreased an adjusted 11.4% in fiscal 2001 from 2000 levels. Prior year sales included revenues from two major contracts without corresponding revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Prospects for the balance of the current year and timing of product deliveries are expected to reverse the first quarter trend. Gross margins as a percent of sales decreased to 23.7% in fiscal 2001 from 27.2% in fiscal 2000, reflecting the shift in product mix from CRT's to monitors. Sales, percentage change from the prior year, gross margins and gross margin percent of sales by geographic area are summarized in the following table. Prior year amounts have been restated to be comparable to the current year's classifications. The caption, "other", includes sales to export distributors and to countries where the Company does not have offices . Provisions for LIFO, manufacturing charges and other costs are included under the caption "Corporate" (in thousands). Sales Gross Margin ------------------ --------------------------------- FY 2001 FY 2000 %Chng FY 2001 GM% FY 2000 GM% -------- ------- ------ ------- ----- ------- ----- First Quarter North America $ 77,947 $62,594 24.5% $20,440 26.2% $16,259 26.0% Europe 21,130 18,450 14.5% 5,958 28.2% 5,567 30.2% Asia/Pacific 11,710 7,375 58.8% 3,451 29.5% 2,310 31.3% Latin America 6,114 4,965 23.1% 1,719 28.1% 1,451 29.2% Other 3,205 2,180 47.0% 836 26.1% 564 25.9% Corporate - - (771) (483) -------- ------- ------- ------- Total $120,106 $95,564 25.7% $31,633 26.3% $25,668 26.9% ======== ======= ======= ======= North American, European and Asia / Pacific sales growth in the quarter and year-to-date results reflect the growth in each of the Company's strategic business units, led by demand for Wireless products. Asia Pacific sales increased an adjusted 71.0% in the first quarter, primarily benefiting from growth in the sale of Wireless and Industrial products. North America sales increased an adjusted 34.1% mainly from sale of Wireless products. Latin American sales grew an adjusted 32.6% from the prior year's first quarter as a result of sales growth in both Medical and Security products. Sales in Europe were adversely affected by the decline in the euro relative to the U.S. dollar. The change in exchange rates reduced reported sales for Europe by approximately 11%. (11) Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition Three-Month Period Ended August 31, 2000 (Unaudited) Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses improved as a percentage of sales, declining to 18.6% from 20.5% in the first quarter, reflecting the strong sales growth and the Company's continued emphasis on its program to maximize operating efficiencies. Interest and Other Expenses Interest costs in fiscal 2001 increased 8.8% compared to fiscal 2000 due to higher interest rates on the Company's revolving credit debt and increased borrowing levels. Net Results Net income for the quarter was $4.7 million or $.32 per diluted share compared to $2.7 million or $.21 per share in the prior year. Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash used in operations was $8.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001, compared to cash provided by operations of $2.6 million in the prior year period. The Company increased its investment in working capital by $15.7 million in the current year compared to a $1.9 million increase last year. Accounts receivable increased $7.1 million in 2001 and $2.9 million in 2000 reflecting the increase in sales from the prior year. Inventory turnover improved in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 to 2.88 from 2.43 a year ago as the Company continued its program to improve asset utilization. The increase in inventories of $9.2 million in fiscal 2001, primarily for product line expansion, compared to an increase of $560,000 in 2000. Accounts payable increased by $4.3 million in fiscal 2001 due to higher purchasing levels. On July 28, 2000, the Company refinanced its revolving credit facility and Canadian credit agreement with an $85 million multi-currency revolving credit facility. The agreement matures in July 2004 and bears interest at applicable LIBOR rates plus a margin, varying with certain financial performance criteria. At initial funding, the margin was 150 basis points. In addition, the Company entered into certain interest rate swap arrangements for the term of the facility, fixing the interest rate on $33.9 million at an average rate of 8.3%. The Company's loan agreements contain various financial and operating covenants which set benchmark levels for tangible net worth, debt / tangible (12) Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition Three-Month Period Ended August 31, 2000 (Unaudited) net worth ratio and annual debt service coverage. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at August 31, 2000. Cash reserves, investments, funds from operations and credit lines are expected to be adequate to meet the operational needs and future dividends of the Company. The policy regarding payment of dividends is reviewed periodically by the Board of Directors in light of the Company's operating needs and capital structure. Euro Currency Conversion On January 1, 1999, eleven member countries of the European Union began conversion to a common currency, the Euro. From January 1, 1999 until January 1, 2002, companies operating in Europe must be able to process business transactions either in legacy currencies or in Euros. After January 1, 2002, all transactions will be processed only in Euros. The Company has modified its transaction processing systems to accommodate the Euro and dual currency processing requirements without significant additional costs. While the exact impact on pricing is indeterminable, the Company believes that since most of its pricing is based on U.S. dollar costs, the effect of conversion to the Euro has not been significant.
