Page 5 Richardson Electronics, Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements Three- and Six-Month Periods Ended November 30, 1998 (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 year ended May 31, 1998. The marketing and sales operations of the Company are organized in four strategic business units (SBUs): Electronic Device Group (EDG), Solid State and Components (SSC), Display Products Group (DPG) and Security Systems Division (SSD). References hereinafter are to the acronyms noted parenthetically. Note B -- Income Taxes The income tax provisions for the three- and six-month periods ended November 30, 1998 and 1997 are based on the estimated annual effective tax rate of 30%. The effective rate is less than the statutory rate of 34% due to U.S. foreign sales corporation tax benefits, partially offset by state income taxes. Note C - Comprehensive Income Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", requires the presentation of comprehensive income as follows (in thousands).

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).

Gross margins as a percent of sales decreased to 30.1% in fiscal 1999 from 31.1% in fiscal 1998 due to changes in product mix, as medical products and services became a larger proportion of the SBU's sales. Six month results reflect the same trends. Second quarter sales for SSC increased 3% from fiscal 1998 levels, reflecting growth in RF and microwave wireless components and interconnect products, offset by softness in RF power semiconductors and power conversion products. Gross margins as a percent of sales decreased to 27.8% in fiscal 1999 from 28.3% in Page 7 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition Three- and Six-Month Periods Ended November 30, 1998 (Unaudited) fiscal 1998 due to changes in product mix and competitive pressures, primarily for RF products. Six month results reflect the same trends. Second quarter sales for DPG increased 30% in fiscal 1999 from 1998 levels. Growth was attributable to new initiatives in both flat-panel and conventional monitor sales, as well as, related systems integration revenues for medical, financial services and industrial markets. Gross margins as a percent of sales decreased to 33.1% in fiscal 1999 from 34.6% in fiscal 1998, reflecting the shift in product mix. Six-month results reflect the same trends. SSD's second quarter sales comparisons were affected unfavorably by the strength of the prior year quarter, which included several large non-recurring orders. Gross margins as a percent of sales increased from 23.2% in fiscal 1998 to 24.0% in fiscal 1999, reflecting higher margins on acquired product lines. Sales for the six-month period were down 1% from the prior year as rising sales in the first quarter were offset by comparison against the unusually strong second quarter fiscal 1998 results. On a geographic basis, the Company's North American sales grew 5% in the second quarter and 9% in the first half. European sales grew 12% in the second quarter and 8% in the first half. Sales in Asia / Pacific declined at a slower pace in the second quarter, off 8% from the prior year, compared to 15% for the six- month comparison. Latin American sales remained soft, off 11% and 9% on quarter and six-month comparisons, against the prior year. Sales, percentage change from the prior year, gross margins and gross margin percent of sales by area are summarized in the following table. Prior year amounts have been re-stated 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, including Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Provisions for LIFO, manufacturing charges and other costs are included under the caption "Corporate" (in thousands).

Interest expense for the first half was reduced by 19% from the prior year as a result of debt reductions financed by a public offering of the Company's common stock in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998. Other income included foreign exchange gains of $293,000 in the first half of fiscal 1999, compared to a foreign exchange loss of $144,000 in the prior year. Net income for the quarter was $3.3 million or $.23 per share, assuming dilution, compared to $2.7 million or $.22 per share in the prior year. Net income for the first half was $5.8 million or $.40 per share, assuming dilution, compared to $4.5 million or $.37 per share. Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash used in operations was $1.6 million in the first half of fiscal 1999, com- pared to cash provided by operations of $10.8 million in the first half last Page 9 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition Three- and Six-Month Periods Ended November 30, 1998 (Unaudited) year. Although cash provided by net income and non-cash adjustments improved, the Company increased its investment in working capital by $11.7 million in the first half of fiscal 1999, compared to a $2.5 million reduction last year. Accounts receivable increased $886,000 in 1999 and $4.5 million in 1998. Inventory increased $7.0 million in 1999, primarily for product line expansion, compared to a reduction of $750,000 in 1998. Accounts payable increased by $5.5 million in fiscal 1998, but were reduced slightly in fiscal 1999. In the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company repurchased 548,000 shares of its common stock on the open market at an average price of $6.55 per share. Capital expenditures, business acquisitions, stock repurchases and dividend payments were funded primarily by cash generated by operations and additional borrowings. Interest payments for the first half were $3.5 million in fiscal 1999 and $4.1 million in 1998. The Company's loan agreements contain various financial and operating covenants which set benchmark levels for tangible net worth, debt / tangible net worth ratio and annual debt service coverage. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at November 30, 1998. Cash reserves, investments, funds from operations and credit lines are expected to be adequate to meet the operational needs and future dividends of the Com- pany. The policy regarding payment of dividends is reviewed periodically by the Board of Directors in light of the Company's operating needs and capital struc- ture. Impact of Year 2000 The year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs that are written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. The Company's current computer database correctly stores date stamps that include four digit years. The Company sets standard configuration guidelines for personal computer systems used within the Company which are year 2000 compliant. Based on a recent assessment, the Company anticipates its systems will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and thereafter. Future operating results may also be affected by the readiness of the Company's trading partners to meet year 2000 requirements. The Company is in the process of surveying its vendors of products with embedded chips or date-sensitive sys- tems concerning their year 2000 readiness. The use of electronic data inter- changes by the Company is limited to a few vendors and customers and the Company does not anticipate significant year 2000 issues relating to interface systems Page 10 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition Three- and Six-Month Periods Ended November 30, 1998 (Unaudited) with these parties. The Company has no single customer which accounts for more than 2% of its sales or vendor which accounts for more than 9% of its purchases. Based upon the foregoing, the Company believes that its risk of significant financial impact resulting from the inability of its trading partners to meet year 2000 requirements is minimal. Euro Currency Conversion On January 1, 1999, eleven member states 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 trans- actions will be processed only in euros. These changes could have significant impacts on transaction processing costs, pricing policies and foreign currency exchange risk management. The Company has verified that its transaction processing systems can accom- modate the euro currency and dual currency processing requirements without significant additional costs. While the exact impact on pricing is indeter- minable, the Company believes that since most of its pricing is based on U.S. dollar costs, the effect of conversion to the Euro will not be significant. The Company expects to adopt the euro as the functional currency for each of its subsidiaries within the European Union. While it is possible that this change may result in reduced volatility of foreign exchange results and lower foreign exchange risk management costs, these benefits cannot be quantified at this time.
