NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (AS RESTATED)
(UNAUDITED)

1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements of Nu Horizons Electronics Corp. (the “Company”), its wholly owned subsidiaries NIC Components Corp., NUHC Inc., Nu Horizons International Corp., Nu Horizons Electronics Asia PTE LTD, Nu Horizons Electronics Hong Kong Limited, Nu Horizons Electronics Europe Limited, Nu Horizons Electronics Limited, Titan Supply Chain Services Corp., Titan Supply Chain Services PTE LTD, Titan Supply Chain Services Limited, Nu Horizons Electronics (Shanghai) Co. Ltd., Nu Horizons Electronics Asia Pte Ltd. Korea, Dacom Süd Electronics GmbH, Razor Electronics, Inc. and Nu Exchange B2B, Inc. and its majority owned subsidiaries, NIC Components Asia PTE LTD and NIC Components Europe Limited contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of August 31, 2007 and February 28, 2007 and the results of its operations for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2007 and 2006, and its cash flows for the six month periods ended August 31, 2007 and 2006.

The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended February 28, 2007, which is incorporated herein by reference. Specific reference is made to that report for a description of the Company’s securities and the notes to consolidated financial statements included therein. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2.
RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

In preparing the fiscal 2007 tax returns, developing the fiscal 2008 tax provision, and reviewing our accounting for income taxes in connection with the application of the provision of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Tax - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109", we determined that there were errors in the prior years' tax returns and the application of FASB Statement No. 109 - Accounting for Income Taxes. Consequently, there was an understatement of our provision for income tax expense and the related U.S. income tax obligations, a majority of which related to our foreign operations, for the fiscal years 2002 through 2007.

As a result of the tax adjustments described above and noted below, our management and the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors concluded, as reported in a current report on Form 8-K filed on October 3, 2007, that (1) our previously issued financial statements and any related reports of our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2002 through 2007 and the first quarter of fiscal 2008 should no longer be relied upon because of the aforementioned errors in those financial statements, (2) our earnings and press releases and similar communications should no longer be relied upon to the extent that they relate to these financial statements, and (3) our financial statements, Original Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007 and Original Form 10-Q for the three months ended May 31, 2007 should be restated to reflect the correct accounting for income taxes discussed above. On November 21, 2007, we filed our amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007 and form 10-Q/A for the three months ended May 31, 2007.

DEBT:

On January 31, 2007, the Company entered into an amended and restated secured revolving line of credit agreement with eight banks (the "Lenders"), which currently provides for maximum borrowings of $150,000,000 (the "Revolving Credit Line"). On June 6, 2007, the Company and the Lenders entered into an amendment to the Revolving Credit Line permitting the Dacom acquisition and increasing indebtedness allowed to be incurred by foreign subsidiaries to institutional lenders to $60,000,000. The Revolving Credit Line provides for borrowings utilizing an asset based formula predicated on a certain percentage of outstanding domestic accounts receivable and inventory levels at any given month end. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Line bear interest at either (i) the lead bank’s prime rate or (ii) LIBOR plus 150 basis points, at the option of the Company, through September 30, 2011, the due date of the loan. Direct borrowings under the Revolving Credit Line were $54,800,000 at August 31, 2007 and $30,000,000 at February 28, 2007. LIBOR rates ranged from 7.00% to 7.31% at August 31, 2007. As of the end of each of the fiscal periods, the Company was in compliance with all of the required bank covenants under the Revolving Credit Line.

The Company also has a receivables financing agreement with a bank in England (the "Bank Credit Line"), which provides for maximum borrowings of £2,500,000 (approximately $4,600,000) with interest at the bank's base rate plus 1.65% (7.15% at August 31, 2007). Borrowings under the Bank Credit Line were £938,000 ($1,904,000) at August 31, 2007.

On November 20, 2006, the Company entered a revolving credit agreement with a Singapore bank to provide a $30,000,000 secured line of credit to the Company’s Asian subsidiaries and thereby finance the Company’s Asian operations. Borrowings under the agreement utilize an asset based formula based on a certain percentage of outstanding accounts receivable and inventory levels at any given month end. Borrowings under the Singapore credit line bear interest at SIBOR plus 1.5%. As part of this agreement, the Company must maintain a compensating balance of $2,250,000, which amount is included in other assets. At August 31, 2007, there were no borrowings under this credit line.

The events relating to the restatement discussed in Note 2 had no impact on the calculation of our bank covenants as of August 31, 2007. However, the restatement did contribute to the delay in filing the fiscal 2008 quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended August 31, 2007, which required us to obtain waivers from our banks. These waivers were obtained on October 25, 2007.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION:

Effective March 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”) and the guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”), which established the accounting for share-based compensation awards exchanged for employee services and require companies to expense the estimated fair value of these awards over the requisite employee service period.

Stock Options 
 
Stock options granted to date under each of the Company’s 1998 and 2000 Stock Option Plans, 2000 Key Employee Stock Option Plan and 2002 Key Employee Stock Incentive Plan generally expire ten years after the date of grant and become exercisable in two equal annual installments commencing one year from date of grant. Stock options granted under the Company’s Outside Director Stock Option Plan and 2000 and 2002 Outside Directors’ Stock Option Plans expire ten years after the date of grant and become exercisable in three equal annual installments on the date of grant and the succeeding two anniversaries thereof. The exercise price for options cannot be less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

The fair value of each option was estimated using the Black-Scholes method with the following weight average assumptions for the 60,000 options granted during the quarter ended August 31, 2007: expected term of 5 years; risk free rate of 4.0%; and volatility rate of 58.42%.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the first and second quarters of fiscal 2008 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on August 31, 2007. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three and six months ended August 31, 2007 and 2006 was $132,000 and $1,457,000, respectively.

Cash received from option exercises during the six months ended August 31, 2007 was $125,000 and is included within the financing activities section in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.

Restricted Stock 
 
Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2002 Key Employee Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, the compensation committee may grant shares of restricted stock. Shares of restricted stock awarded may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable period of restriction established by the compensation committee and specified in the award agreement. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis as shares become free of forfeiture restrictions (i.e., vest), historically over a seven-year period. For the three month and six month periods ended August 31, 2007, the Company recorded compensation expense aggregating $193,000 and $332,000 relating to the issuance of restricted stock.

INCOME TAXES:

Effective March 1, 2007, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”).  FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  For benefits to be recognized in the financial statements, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

INCOME TAXES (Continued):

In preparing the fiscal 2007 tax returns, developing the fiscal 2008 tax provision, and reviewing our accounting for income taxes in connection with the application of FIN 48, we determined that there were errors in the prior years' tax returns and the application of FASB Statement No. 109 - Accounting for Income Taxes. Consequently, there was an understatement of our provision for income tax expense for prior periods and the related U.S. income tax obligations, a majority of which related to our foreign operations, requiring the restatement of our financial statements in a Form 10-K/A (filed on November 21, 2007) for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2007.  The liability for uncertain tax positions is included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of August 31, 2007.  There were no significant changes to our uncertain tax positions during the three months ended August 31, 2007.  For the three months ended August 31, 2007, interest and penalties increased by $76,000 and $485,000, respectively.  The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in federal, foreign, state and local income tax expense.  As of August 31, 2007, we had accrued approximately $296,000 and $1,262,000 for the payment of potential tax-related interest and penalties, respectively.  The increase in tax penalties and interest during the quarter is primarily related to the underpayment of tax in 2007.

Litigation:

On or about October 4, 2007, a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint for Securities Fraud ("Amended Complaint") was filed in the United States District Court for the District of California in the matter entitled Louis Grasso, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. Vitesse Semiconductor Corporation, Louis Tomasetta, Yatin Mody, Eugene F. Hovanec, Silicon Valley Bank, Nu Horizons Electronics Corp, Titan Supply Chain Services, Corp. (Formerly Known as Titan Logistics Corp.), and KPMG LLP, Defendants. Pursuant to the Amended Complaint, Nu Horizons, Titan, Silicon Valley Bank, and KPMG LLP were added as defendants to the putative class action which had been commenced by certain purchasers of Vitesse common stock. In the Amended Complaint, plaintiff alleges that Nu Horizons and Titan violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and seeks rescission or unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class which purchased Vitesse common stock during the period from January 27, 2003 to and including April 27, 2006. As of November 21, 2007, a class has not been certified. Nu Horizons believes that the plaintiff’s claims are without merit and intends to defend vigorously against the plaintiff’s allegations.

We have reviewed the consolidated condensed balance sheet of Nu Horizons Electronics Corp. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of August 31, 2007, and the related consolidated condensed statements of income for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2007 and 2006, and cash flows for the six month periods ended August 31, 2007 and 2006 included in the accompanying Securities and Exchange Commission Form 10-Q for the period ended August 31, 2007. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
 
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
 
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated condensed financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the consolidated balance sheet of Nu Horizons Electronics Corp. as of February 28, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated May 7, 2007 (November 21, 2007 as to the effects of the restatement discussed in Note 2 and the subsequent events discussed in Note 16), we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet as of February 28, 2007 is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward Looking Statements:

Statements in this Form 10-Q quarterly report may be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express the Company’s intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to its future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those risks discussed from time to time in the Company’s Form 10-K/A annual report for the year ended February 28, 2007, and in other documents which the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, such statements could be affected by risks and uncertainties related to product demand, market and customer acceptance, competition, government regulations and requirements, pricing and development difficulties, as well as general industry and market conditions and growth rates, and general economic conditions. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-Q.

For a description of the Company's critical accounting policies and an understanding of the significant factors that influenced the Company's performance during the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2007 and 2006, this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with the consolidated condensed financial statements, including the related notes, appearing in Item 1 of this Report, as well as the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended February 28, 2007.

Overview:
 
Nu Horizons Electronics Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are engaged in the distribution of high technology active and passive electronic components to a wide variety of original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) of electronic products. Active components distributed by the Company include semiconductor products such as memory chips, microprocessors, digital and linear circuits, microwave/RF and fiberoptic components, transistors and diodes. Passive components distributed by NIC Components Corp., NIC Components Asia Pte Ltd. and NIC Components Europe Limited, principally to OEMs and other distributors nationally, consist of a high technology line of chip and leaded components including capacitors, resistors and related networks. In addition, the Company distributes Sun Microsystems boards, servers, storage and software to OEMs (referred to as "Systems").

The electronics manufacturing and the electronics distribution industries in which the Company operates have experienced double digit increases in sales dollar volume for several years. Additionally, there have been recent consolidations in the electronics distribution industry, resulting in greater market share for certain of the remaining companies. The increase in sales volume has been accompanied by continued downward margin pressures, primarily due to the industry shift to production in Asia.

The Company recognized the industry shift to overseas production and the need to serve its suppliers on a global basis. As a result, the Company adopted a strategy of expanding its Asian and European operations by investing in human resources and expanding its sales force and engineering personnel. In prior years, we invested in Asia and currently we are staffed with 197 employees in 19 offices, with a warehouse in Singapore. In fiscal 2007, we continued our growth strategy of expanding our European presence by acquiring DT Electronics Limited on August 29, 2006, with 37 employees and a warehouse in Coventry, England. Most recently, we opened our first office in Munich, Germany and on June 6, 2007, the Company acquired Dacom Süd Electronics Vertriebs GmbH ("Dacom"), a franchised electronics component distributor, based in Munich, Germany. The Company paid approximately $2,857,000 in cash which included transaction fees. Dacom had approximately $6,000,000 in sales for calendar year 2006. We expect that the acquisition of Dacom will accelerate our expansion in the European market.

It is difficult for the Company, as a distributor, to forecast the material trends of the electronic component and computer products industry because the Company does not typically have material forward-looking information available from its customers and suppliers for periods beyond approximately three to four months. As such, management relies on the publicly available information published by certain industry groups and other related analyses to evaluate its longer term prospects.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
 
Overview (continued):

The Company is continuing to cooperate with the investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") in the action captioned "In the Matter of Vitesse Semiconductor Corp." The cost of such cooperation has required the Company to incur significant amounts for professional fees and related expenses. As of August 31, 2007, approximately $520,000 and $382,000 has been incurred for the six months and the three months, respectively. Management is presently unable to determine the duration of the SEC investigation and, consequently, the total costs that will be incurred by the Company.

The tables below provide a quarter-over-quarter summary of sales for the Company:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
 
Results of Operations:
 
Three Months Ended August 31, 2007 compared to three months ended August 31, 2006:

For the quarter ended August 31, 2007, consolidated net sales increased to $203,576,000 from $193,522,000 for the prior year quarter. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was $783,000 or $.04 per basic and diluted share as compared to net income of $2,747,000 or $.16 per basic and $.15 per diluted share in last year’s second fiscal quarter.

Sales of electronic components, excluding Systems, for the three month period ended August 31, 2007 were $191,750,000 as compared to $164,197,000 for the comparable period of the prior year, an increase of approximately $27,553,000 or 17%. On a sequential basis, sales of electronic components for the current three month period increased approximately $12,541,000, or 7%, from $179,209,000 for the quarter ended May 31, 2007. Management believes that this sales increase is primarily due to increased market share resulting from industry consolidation, its increased sales personnel and the expansion of its line card and customer base. Core electronics distribution sales in the current quarter were negatively impacted by a general softness in the passive component market due to over-capacity, resulting in decreased demand which could continue in the near term. System sales have declined primarily due to the loss of business with certain key customers. System sales for the quarter ended August 31, 2007 were $11,826,000, compared to $29,325,000 in 2006. The lack of near term visibility in the electronics manufacturing and the electronics distribution industry makes it difficult for management to estimate the Company’s overall sales volume and earnings for the balance of the Company’s current fiscal year. Management believes, however, that the industry growth rate in the near term will likely be in the single digits.

The electronics components gross profit was $29,941,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and $26,371,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2007. The gross profit margin for the quarter ended August 31, 2007 was 15.3% as compared to 15.0% for the prior year quarter ended August 31, 2006. The increase in total gross profit margin is due to reduced sales of lower margin Systems business.

Operating expenses increased to $27,877,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2007, from $22,870,000 for the three month period ended August 31, 2006, an increase of approximately $5,007,000 or 22%. Approximately $3,317,000, or 66%, of the operating expense increase relates to the inclusion of the operating expenses of DT Electronics Limited, which was purchased on August 29, 2006, and which is not included in fiscal 2007. The remaining dollar increase in operating expenses was due to increases in the following expense categories: approximately $1,302,000 or 26% of the increase for the three month period was for personnel related costs such as bonuses, commissions, salaries, travel and fringe benefits, in each case primarily related to new hires to support expanded supplier relationships. Approximately $382,000 or 8% of the increase was a result of the net increases in professional fees related to the SEC investigation in the action captioned "In the Matter of Vitesse Semiconductor Corp." and other legal matters.

Interest expense increased to $1,047,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2007, from $931,000 for the three month period ended August 31, 2006 due to higher average borrowings during the 2007 period.

Tax expense as a percentage of income before provision for income taxes and minority interest (the "effective tax rate") is 59.2% for the current quarter ended August 31, 2007 and 49.4% for the quarter ended August 31, 2006. The effective rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 is higher than the statutory rate principally due to penalties and interest of $560,000 associated with the correction of errors in our United States Federal and state tax returns discussed in Note 2 of the financial statements contained herein. The effective tax rated in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 is higher due to higher tax expense of $616,000 associated with the aforementioned restatement.

Net income for the three month period ended August 31, 2007 was $783,000 or $.04 per basic and diluted share as compared to net income of $2,747,000 or $.16 per basic and $.15 per diluted share for the three month period ended August 31, 2006. Management attributes the decrease in earnings for the period primarily due to decreased Systems sales and the other matters discussed above.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
 
Results of Operations:
 
Six Months Ended August 31, 2007 compared to six months ended August 31, 2006:

For the six months ended August 31, 2007, consolidated net sales increased to $395,903,000 from $381,281,000 for the prior year comparable period. Net income for the six month period ended August 31, 2007 was $2,471,000 or $.14 per basic and $.13 per diluted share as compared to net income of $5,261,000 or $.30 per basic and $.28 per diluted share for the comparable period of the prior year.

Sales of electronic components, excluding Systems, for the six month period ended August 31, 2007 were $370,959,000 as compared to $321,442,000 for the comparable period of the prior year, an increase of approximately $49,517,000 or 15.4%. Management believes that this sales increase is primarily due to increased market share resulting from industry consolidation, its increased sales personnel and the expansion of its line card and customer base. Core electronics distribution sales for the six months ended August 31, 2007 were negatively impacted by a general softness in the passive component market due to over-capacity, resulting in decreased demand which could continue in the near term. System sales have declined primarily due to the loss of business with certain key customers. System sales for the six months ended August 31, 2007 were $24,944,000, compared to $59,839,000 in the comparable period of fiscal 2007. The lack of near term visibility in the electronics manufacturing and the electronics distribution industry makes it difficult for management to estimate the Company’s overall sales volume and earnings for the balance of the Company’s current fiscal year. Management believes, however, that the industry growth rate in the near term will likely be in the single digits.

The electronics components gross profit was $58,453,000 for the six months ended August 31, 2007 and $52,060,000 for the comparable period of fiscal 2007. The gross profit margin for the six months ended August 31, 2007 was 15.3% as compared to 15.1% for the comparable period of fiscal 2007. The increase in total gross profit margin is due to reduced sales of lower margin Systems business.

Operating expenses increased to $53,474,000 for the six months ended August 31, 2007, from $44,997,000 for the six month period ended August 31, 2006, an increase of approximately $8,477,000 or 18.8%. Approximately $4,474,000, or 53%, of the operating expense increase relates to the inclusion of the operating expenses of DT Electronics Limited, which was purchased on August 29, 2006, and which is not included in the six months ended August 31, 2006. The remaining dollar increase in operating expenses was due to increases in the following expense categories: approximately $3,255,000 or 38% of the increase for the six month period was for personnel related costs such as bonuses, commissions, salaries, travel and fringe benefits. Approximately $520,000 or 6% of the increase was a result of the net increases in professional fees related to the SEC investigation in the action captioned "In the Matter of Vitesse Semiconductor Corp." and other legal matters and other professional fees of $228,000.

Interest expense increased to $1,975,000 for the six months ended August 31, 2007, from $1,893,000 for the six month period ended August 31, 2006 due to increased borrowing during the 2007 period.

The effective rates of 48.8% and 49.4% for the fiscal 2008 and 2007 periods respectively are higher than statutory rates due principally to interest and penalties of $797,000 in fiscal 2008 and incremental tax expense of $1,263,000 related to the restatement discussed in Note 2 of the financial statements contained herein.

Net income for the six month period ended August 31, 2007 was $2,471,000 or $.14 per basic and $.13 per diluted share as compared to net income of $5,261,000 or $.30 per basic and $.28 per diluted share for the six month period ended August 31, 2006. Management attributes the decrease in earnings for the period primarily due to decreased Systems sales and the other matters discussed above.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources:

On August 31, 2007, the Company's current ratio was 3.2:1 as compared to 3.0:1 at February 28, 2007. Working capital increased from approximately $166,948,000 at February 28, 2007 to approximately $186,882,000 at August 31, 2007, while cash decreased from February 28, 2007 to August 31, 2007 by approximately $3,742,000 to $1,005,000, as follows:

On January 31, 2007, the Company entered into an amended and restated secured revolving line of credit agreement, as amended, with eight banks, which currently provides for maximum borrowings of $150,000,000 (the "Revolving Credit Line"). The Revolving Credit Line provides for borrowings utilizing an asset based formula predicated on a certain percentage of outstanding domestic accounts receivable and inventory levels at any given month end. Based on the asset based formula, the Company may not be able to borrow the maximum amount available under its Revolving Credit Line at all times. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Line bear interest at either (i) the lead bank’s prime rate or (ii) LIBOR plus 150 basis points, at the option of the Company, through September 30, 2011, the due date of the loan. Direct borrowings under the Revolving Credit Line were $54,800,000 at August 31, 2007 and $30,000,000 at February 28, 2007. As of the end of each of the fiscal periods, the Company was in compliance with all of the required bank covenants. After the end of the fiscal period covered by this report, the Company and the Lenders entered into a waiver agreement pursuant to which the Lenders waived compliance with certain of the covenants under the Revolving Credit Line primarily related to financial reporting and the previously announced Vitesse-related class action commenced in October 2007.

The Company also has a receivable financing agreement (the "Bank Credit Line") with a bank in England which provides for maximum borrowings of £2,500,000 (approximately $4,600,000) which bear interest at the bank's base rate plus 1.65%. The interest rate at August 31, 2007 was 7.15%. The Company owes $1,904,000 and $2,327,000 at August 31, 2007 and February 28, 2007 respectively.

On November 20, 2006, the Company entered a revolving credit agreement with a Singapore bank to provide a $30,000,000 secured line of credit to the Company’s Asian subsidiaries and thereby finance the Company’s Asian operations. Borrowings under the agreement utilize an asset based formula based on a certain percentage of outstanding accounts receivable and inventory levels at any given month end. Borrowings under the Singapore credit line bear interest at SIBOR plus 1.5 percent. At August 31, 2007, there were no borrowings under this credit line.

At August 31, 2007, the Company had approximately $71,000,000 in the aggregate available under all of its bank credit facilities.

The Company anticipates that its resources provided by its cash flow from operations and the aforementioned agreements, will be sufficient to meet its financing requirements for at least the next twelve-month period.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements:

As of August 31, 2007, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

All of the Company’s bank debt and the associated interest expense are sensitive to changes in the level of interest rates. The Company’s credit facility bears interest based on interest rates tied to the prime or LIBOR rate, either of which may fluctuate over time based on economic conditions. A hypothetical 100 basis point (one percentage point) increase in interest rates would have resulted in incremental interest expense of approximately $178,000 for the three month period ended August 31, 2007 and $212,000 for the six month period ending August 31, 2007. The Company's U.K. and Singapore loan facilities also bear interest based on fluctuating interest rates. Due to the limited amount of the Company's U.K. borrowings and the fact that the Company is not borrowing any amounts under its Singapore loan facility, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates under these facilities would not have had a material effect in the quarter ended August 31, 2007. As a result, the Company is subject to market risk for changes in interest rates and could be subjected to increased or decreased interest payments if market rates fluctuate and the Company is in a borrowing mode.

The Company has several foreign subsidiaries in Asia, the United Kingdom and Canada. The Company does business in more than one dozen countries and currently generates approximately 32% of its revenues from outside North America. The Company’s ability to sell its products in foreign markets may be affected by changes in economic, political or market conditions in the foreign markets in which the Company does business.

The Company’s total assets in its foreign subsidiaries was $117,732,000 and $85,830,000 at August 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, translated into US dollars at the closing exchange rates. The Company also acquires certain inventory from foreign suppliers and as such, faces risk due to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. These risks could have a material impact on the Company’s results in future periods. The potential loss based on end of period balances and prevailing exchange rates resulting from a hypothetical 10% strengthening of the dollar against foreign currencies was not material in the quarter ended August 31, 2007. The Company does not currently employ any currency derivative instruments, futures contracts or other currency hedging techniques to mitigate its risks in this regard.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Management's Quarterly Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Commission’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
As previously reported in a current report on Form 8-K filed on October 3, 2007, the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, together with management, concluded that, due to errors in the Company’s prior years’ tax returns and the application of FASB Statement No. 109 - Accounting for Income Taxes (1) our previously issued financial statements and any related reports of our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2002 through 2007 and the financial statements contained in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended May 31, 2007 should no longer be relied upon because of such errors in those financial statements, (2) our earnings and press releases and similar communications should no longer be relied upon to the extent that they relate to these financial statements, and (3) our financial statements and Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007 and first quarter fiscal 2008 Form 10-Q should be restated to reflect the correct accounting for income taxes.

In connection with such restatements of its financial statements, the Company evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon the evaluation that was conducted, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of August 31, 2007 because of a material weakness in its internal controls over financial reporting regarding the accounting for income taxes due to the existence of errors in the Company’s income tax returns and the application of FASB Statement No. 109 - Accounting for Income Taxes, which caused an understatement of the Company’s provision for income tax expense for prior periods and the related U.S. income tax obligations, which resulted in the Company having to restate its consolidated financial statements as described in Note 2 to the interim consolidated condensed financial statements included elsewhere herein. Notwithstanding the existence of such material weakness, management has concluded that the interim consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects the Company's financial condition as of August 31, 2007 and February 28, 2007, the results of operations for each of the six and three months ended August 31, 2007 and 2006 and cash flows for each of the six months ended August 31, 2007 and 2006.
 
Changes in Internal Controls
 
There were no changes made in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

As a result of the Dacom acquisition, the Company is currently evaluating its operations and, commencing in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, integrating Dacom's operations, including its inventory management systems and other internal controls.

After the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in order to remediate the material weakness in internal controls over the Company's accounting for income taxes, the Company engaged an independent registered public accounting firm (other than its auditors, Lazar Levine & Felix LLP) to prepare its tax returns and review and advise Company personnel on the preparation of the quarterly tax provision in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109 - Accounting for Income Taxes.

21


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (Continued)
 
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

The Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Management does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and fraud. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues within the company have been detected, even with respect to those systems of internal control that are determined to be effective. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. The Company’s system contains self monitoring mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct deficiencies as they are identified. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the “reasonable assurance” level.
