TABLE OF CONTENTS

PART I

Item 1. Business

General

Nu Horizons Electronics Corp., a Delaware corporation incorporated in 1987, (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, NIC Components Corp. (“NIC”), Nu Horizons International Corp. (“International”), NUHC Inc. (“NUC”), Nu Horizons Asia PTE LTD (“NUA”), Nu Horizons Electronics Pte Ltd (“NUZ”), Nu Horizons Electronics Asia Pte Ltd., Korea Branch (“NUK”), Nu Horizons Electronics GmbH (“NUD”), Dacom-Süd Electronic Vertriebs GmbH (“Dacom”), Nu Horizons Electronics Hong Kong Ltd. (“NUHK”), Nu Horizons Electronics (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. (“NUS”), Nu Horizons Europe Limited (“NUE”), DT Electronics Limited (“DT”), Titan Supply Chain Services Corp. (“Titan”), Titan Supply Chain Services PTE LTD (“TSC”), Titan Supply Chain Services Limited (“TSE”), Razor Electronics (“RAZ”), Nu Exchange (“NUX”), Nu Horizons Electronics Hong Kong Ltd. (“NUO”) and its majority owned subsidiaries, NIC Components Europe Limited (“NIE”), and NIC Components Asia PTE LTD. (“NIA”) are engaged in the distribution of, and supply chain services for, high technology active and passive electronic components.

All references in this report to “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” are to Nu Horizons Electronics Corp. and its subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise.

Active components distributed by the Company, principally to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) in the United States, include mainly commercial semiconductor products such as memory chips, microprocessors, digital and linear circuits, microwave, RF and fiber-optic components, transistors and diodes. Passive components distributed by NIC, principally to OEMs and other distributors nationally, consist of a high technology line of chip and leaded components, including capacitors, resistors and related networks.

The active and passive components distributed by the Company are utilized by the electronics industry and other industries in the manufacture of sophisticated electronic products including: industrial instrumentation, computers and peripheral equipment, consumer electronics, telephone and telecommunications equipment, satellite communications equipment, cellular communications equipment, medical equipment, automotive electronics, and audio and video electronic equipment.

Manufacturers of electronic components augment their marketing programs through the use of independent distributors and supply chain service providers such as the Company, upon which the Company believes they rely to a considerable extent to market and deliver their products. The Company offers its customers the convenience of diverse inventories, rapid delivery, design and technical assistance, inventory management, forecasting and logistical services and the availability of product in smaller quantities than generally available directly from manufacturers. Generally, companies engaged in the distribution of active and passive electronic components, such as the Company, are required to maintain a relatively significant investment in inventories and accounts receivable. To meet these requirements, the Company, like other companies in the industry, typically depends on internally generated funds as well as external borrowings.

Management’s policy is to manage, maintain and control the bulk of its inventories from its principal headquarters and stocking facilities in Melville (Long Island), New York; Southaven, Mississippi; Singapore; Coventry, England; and Buckingham, England. As additional franchise line opportunities become available to the Company, the need for branch level inventories may be necessary and desirable in order to better serve the specific needs of local markets.

Semiconductor Products (Active Components) and Related Products

The Company is a distributor of a broad range of semiconductor products, as well as display, illumination, power and system products, to commercial and military OEMs in the United States, Europe and Asia. The Company is a franchised distributor of active components for approximately 37 product lines. Significant franchised product lines include Atmel, Exar, IDT, Linear Technology, Marvell, Micrel, Micron, ON Semiconductor, Renesas, ST Microelectronics, Vitesse Semiconductor, SMSC and Xilinx, among others. Additionally, the company represents preeminent products from Sharp, Kyocera and Toshiba for displays; Emerson and Murata for power solutions; and SUN and IBM for systems.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Company’s franchise agreements authorize it to sell all or part of the product line of a manufacturer on a non-exclusive basis. Under these agreements, each manufacturer will generally grant credits for any subsequent price reduction by such manufacturer and inventory return privileges whereby the Company can return to each such manufacturer for credit or exchange a percentage, generally ranging from 5% to 10%, of the inventory purchased from said manufacturer during quarterly or semi-annual periods. The franchise agreements generally may be cancelled by either party upon written notice. The Company anticipates, in the future, entering into additional franchise agreements and increasing its inventory levels in accordance with business demands.

Financial information regarding the Company’s reportable segments and foreign and domestic operations can be found in the Notes to the Company’s financial statements.

Passive Components and Relationship with Nippon

NIC has been the exclusive outlet in North America for Nippon Industries Co. Ltd.’s (Japan) (“Nippon”) brand of passive components, with a license for the use of the Nippon brand. The Company has a License Agreement with Nippon dated as of September 1, 2000 under which the Company has been granted an exclusive license to use the Nippon brand in the United States, Mexico, Central and South America and the Caribbean. The License Agreement has an initial term of ten years and automatically renews for successive one-year periods unless the Company or Nippon terminates the License Agreement 90 days prior to the end of the initial or any renewal term.

Due to certain market situations, NIC, with Nippon’s consent, has also established several manufacturing associations with U.S. and Taiwan based manufacturers to supply NIC with a portion of its product requirements under the NIC brand. NIC intends to continue to give Nippon priority, however, in acquiring Nippon’s products whenever Nippon’s technology and pricing are commensurate with market requirements.

Systems Products

The Company distributes IBM and Sun Microsystem boards, servers, storage and software to original equipment manufacturers and certain value added services (referred to herein as “Systems”).

Sales and Marketing

Management’s strategy for long-term success has been to focus the Company’s sales and marketing efforts towards the following industry segments, both domestically and abroad: industrial, telecom/datacom, medical instrumentation, microwave and RF, fiber-optic, consumer electronics, security and protection devices, office equipment, computers and computer peripherals, factory automation and robotics. In order to help achieve its goals, the Company may enter into new franchise agreements for a broad base of commodity semiconductor products, including those used in the key niche industries referred to above.

All sales are made through customers’ purchase orders. Semiconductors are sold primarily via telephone by the Company’s in-house staff of approximately 137 salespersons, and by a combined field sales force of approximately 321 salespersons and field application engineers. The Company maintains branch sales facilities located as follows:

NIC’s passive components are marketed through the services of a national network of approximately 20 independent sales representative organizations, employing over 200 salespersons, as well as through NIC’s in-house sales and engineering personnel. The independent representative organizations do not represent competing product lines but sell other related products. Commissions to such organizations generally range from 2% to 3% of all sales in a representative’s exclusive territory.

NIC has developed a national network of 3 global distributors and approximately 25 regional distributor locations which market passive components on a non-exclusive basis. These distributors have entered into agreements with NIC whereby they are required to purchase from NIC a prescribed initial inventory. These distributors are protected by NIC against price reductions and are granted certain inventory return and other privileges, which to date have not been material. Due to the efforts of NIC and its distributors, NIC’s passive components have been tested and “designed in” as a prime source of qualified product by over 9,000 OEMs in the United States.

Customer Concentration

No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated sales for the year ended February 29, 2008. The Company’s sales practice is to require payment within thirty days of delivery.

Source of Supply

The Company inventories an extensive stock of active and passive components; however, if the Company’s customers order products for which the Company does not maintain inventory, the Company’s marketing strategy is to obtain such products from its franchise manufacturers, or, if a product is unobtainable, to identify and recommend satisfactory interchangeable alternative components. For this purpose, the Company

TABLE OF CONTENTS

devotes considerable efforts to familiarizing itself with component product movement throughout the industry, as well as to constant monitoring of its own inventories.

As of February 29, 2008, there was one manufacturer that represented more than 10% of the Company’s inventory on a consolidated basis. This supplier accounted for an aggregate of approximately $32,786,000 of total inventory. Electronic components distributed by the Company generally are presently readily available; however, from time to time the electronics industry has experienced a shortage or surplus of certain electronic products.

For the year ended February 29, 2008, the Company purchased inventory from one supplier that was in excess of 10% of the Company’s total purchases. Purchases from this supplier were approximately $193,584,000 for the fiscal year.

Competition and Regulation

The Company competes with many companies that distribute semiconductor and passive electronic components and, to a lesser extent, companies that manufacture such products and sell them directly to OEMs and other distributors. The Company also competes for customers with some of its own suppliers. Many of these companies have substantially greater assets and possess greater financial and personnel resources than those of the Company. In addition, certain of these companies possess independent franchise agreements to carry semiconductor product lines which the Company does not carry, but which it may desire to have. Competition is based primarily upon inventory availability, quality of service, knowledge of product and price. The Company believes that the distribution of passive electronic components under its own label is a competitive advantage.

The Company’s competitive ability to price its imported active and passive components could be adversely affected by increases in tariffs, duties, changes in the United States’ trade treaties with Japan, Taiwan or other foreign countries, transportation strikes and the adoption of Federal laws containing import restrictions. In addition, the cost of the Company’s imports could be subject to governmental controls and international currency fluctuations. Because imports are paid for with U.S. dollars, the decline in value of United States currency as against foreign currencies would cause increases in the dollar prices of the Company’s imports from Japan and other foreign countries. Although the Company has not experienced any material adverse effect to date in its ability to compete or maintain its profit margins as a result of any of the foregoing factors, no assurance can be given that such factors will not have a material adverse effect in the future.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules promulgated thereunder by the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market have imposed substantial new or enhanced regulations and disclosure requirements in the areas of corporate governance (including director independence, director selection and audit, corporate governance and compensation committee responsibilities), equity compensation plans, auditor independence, pre-approval of auditor fees and services and disclosure and internal control procedures. We are committed to industry best practices in these areas and believe we are in compliance with the relevant rules and regulations.

Backlog

The Company defines backlog as orders, believed to be firm, received from customers and scheduled for shipment, no later than 60 days for active components and no later than 90 days for passive components, from the date of the order. As of May 7, 2008, the Company’s backlog was approximately $131,219,000 as compared to a backlog of approximately $116,000,000 at May 1, 2007. All of the orders on backlog as of May 7, 2008 are reasonably expected to be filled in the fiscal year ending February 28, 2009.

Employees

As of February 29, 2008, the Company employed approximately 833 persons: 59 in management, 479 in sales and sales support, 79 in product and purchasing, 50 in finance, accounting and human resources, 24 in management information systems, 23 in operations and 119 in quality control, shipping, receiving and warehousing. The Company believes that its employee relations are satisfactory.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risk Factors

A large portion of the Company’s revenue comes from sales of semiconductors, which is a highly cyclical industry, and an industry down-cycle could adversely affect its operating results.

The semiconductor industry historically has experienced periodic fluctuations in product supply and demand, often associated with changes in technology and manufacturing capacity, and is generally considered to be highly cyclical. The Company’s revenue closely follows the strength or weakness of the semiconductor market. The Company’s total sales of electronic components in the last five fiscal years have increased from approximately $321,332,000 in fiscal year 2004 to $747,170,000 in fiscal year 2008. Although the Company’s and the industry’s sales have been on an upward trend, a technology industry downcycle, particularly in the semiconductor sector, could adversely affect the Company’s operating results in the future.

If the Company is unable to maintain its relationships with key suppliers, the Company’s sales could be adversely affected.

In fiscal 2008, purchases of products and services from one supplier exceeded 10% of the Company’s purchases on a consolidated basis. As a result, in the event that this supplier or a number of the Company’s other suppliers experiences financial difficulties or is not willing to do business with the Company in the future on terms acceptable to management, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. Additionally, the Company’s relationships with its customers could be materially adversely effected because the Company’s customers depend on the Company’s distribution of electronic components and computer products from the industry’s leading suppliers.

Declines in the value of the Company’s inventory could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

The electronic components and computer products industry is subject to rapid technological change, new and enhanced products and evolving industry standards, which can contribute to decline in value or obsolescence of inventory. During an economic downturn it is possible that prices will decline due to an oversupply of product and, therefore, there may be greater risk of declines in inventory value. Although it is the policy of many of the Company’s suppliers to offer certain protections from the loss in value of inventory (such as price protection, limited rights of return, and rebates), the Company cannot assure you that that the vendors will choose to, or be able to, honor such agreements or that such return policies and rebates will fully compensate

TABLE OF CONTENTS

it for the loss in value. The Company cannot assure you that unforeseen new product developments or declines in the value of its inventory will not materially adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity, or that the Company will successfully manage its existing and future inventories.

The volume and timing of customer sales may vary and could materially affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

The volume and timing of purchase orders placed by the Company’s customers are affected by a number of factors, including variation in demand for customers’ products, customer attempts to manage inventory, changes in product design or specifications and changes in the customers’ manufacturing strategies. The Company often does not obtain long-term purchase orders or commitments but instead works with its customers to develop nonbinding forecasts of future requirements. Based on such nonbinding forecasts, the Company makes commitments regarding the level of business that it will seek and accept, the timing of production schedules and the levels and utilization of personnel and other resources. A variety of conditions, both specific to each individual customer and generally affecting each customer’s industry, may cause customers to cancel, reduce or delay orders that were either previously made or anticipated. Generally, customers may cancel, reduce or delay purchase orders and commitments without penalty, except for payment for services rendered or products completed and, in certain circumstances, payment for materials purchased and charges associated with such cancellation, reduction or delay. Significant or numerous cancellations, reductions or delays in orders by customers, or any inability by customers to pay for services provided by the Company or to pay for components and materials purchased by it on such customers’ behalf, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

Substantial defaults by the Company’s customers on the Company’s accounts receivable could have a significant negative impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

A significant portion of the Company’s working capital consists of accounts receivable from customers. If customers responsible for a significant amount of accounts receivable were to become insolvent or otherwise unable to pay for products and services, or were to become unwilling or unable to make payments in a timely manner, the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity could be adversely affected.

The electronics component and computer industries are highly competitive and if the Company cannot effectively compete, its revenue may decline.

The market for the Company’s products and services is very competitive and subject to rapid technological advances. Not only does the Company compete with other distributors, it also competes for customers with some of its own suppliers. The Company’s failure to maintain and enhance its competitive position could adversely affect its business and prospects.

Some of the Company’s competitors may have greater financial, personnel, capacity and other resources than it has. As a result, the Company’s competitors may be in a stronger position to respond quickly to potential acquisitions and other market opportunities, new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. Additional competition has emerged from third party logistics providers, fulfillment companies, catalogue distributors and on-line distributors and brokers.

Additionally, prices for the Company’s products tend to decrease over their life cycle. Such decreases often result in decreased gross profit margins for the Company. There is also substantial and continuing pressure from customers to reduce their total cost for products. Suppliers may also seek to reduce the Company’s margins on the sale of their products in order to increase their own profitability. The Company expends substantial amounts on the value creation services required to remain competitive, retain existing business and gain new customers, and the Company must evaluate the expense of those efforts against the impact of price and margin reductions.

Further, the manufacturing of electronic components and computer products is increasingly shifting to lower-cost production facilities in Asia, most notably China. Suppliers in Asia have traditionally had lower

TABLE OF CONTENTS

gross profit margins than those in the United States and Europe, and typically charge lower prices in the Asian markets for their products, which places pressure on the Company to lower its prices to meet competition.

Thus, the Company’s consolidated gross profit margins have declined over time, from 19.3% in fiscal 2004, to 16.1% in fiscal 2008. If the Company is unable to effectively compete in its industry or is unable to maintain acceptable gross profit margins, its business could be materially adversely affected.

The Company may not have adequate or cost-effective liquidity or capital resources.

The Company needs cash to make interest payments on and to refinance indebtedness, and for general corporate purposes, such as funding its ongoing working capital and capital expenditure needs. At February 29, 2008, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of approximately $3,886,000. In addition, the Company currently has access to credit lines of $185,000,000, of which $69,903,000 is currently being borrowed. The Company’s ability to satisfy its cash needs depends on its ability to generate cash from operations and to access the financial markets, both of which are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond its control.

The Company may in the future need to access the financial markets to satisfy its cash needs. Under the terms of any external financing, the Company may incur higher than expected financing expenses and become subject to additional restrictions and covenants. For example, the Company’s existing debt agreements contain restrictive covenants, including covenants requiring compliance with specified financial ratios and a failure to comply with these or any other covenants may result in an event of default. An increase in the Company’s financing costs or a breach of debt instrument covenants could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The agreements governing the Company’s financings contain various covenants and restrictions that, in certain circumstances, could limit its ability to:

•

grant liens on assets;

•

make restricted payments (including paying dividends on capital stock or redeeming or repurchasing capital stock);

•

make investments;

•

merge, consolidate or transfer all or substantially all of its assets;

•

incur additional debt; or

•

engage in certain transactions with affiliates.

As a result of these covenants and restrictions, the Company may be limited in how it conducts its business and may be unable to raise additional debt, compete effectively, make investments, or engage in other activities that may be beneficial to its business.

Products sold by the Company may be found to be defective and, as a result, warranty and/or product liability claims may be asserted against the Company which may have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Products sold by the Company are at prices that are significantly lower than the cost of the equipment or other goods in which they are incorporated. Since a defect or failure in a product could give rise to failures in the end products that incorporate them (and claims for consequential damages against the Company from its customers), the Company may face claims for damages that are disproportionate to the sales and profits it receives from the products involved. While the Company and its suppliers specifically exclude consequential damages in their standard terms and conditions, the Company’s ability to avoid such liabilities may be limited by the laws of some of the countries where it does business. The Company’s business could be materially adversely affected as a result of a significant quality or performance issue in the products sold by the Company, if it is required to pay for the damages that result. Although the Company currently has product liability insurance, such insurance is limited in coverage and amount.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Company’s non-U.S. locations represent a significant portion of the Company’s revenue, and consequently, we are increasingly exposed to risks associated with operating internationally.

The Company’s operations outside the United States generated approximately 31% of sales in fiscal year 2008 and 25% in fiscal years 2007 and 2006. As a result of the Company’s foreign sales and locations, the Company’s operations are subject to a variety of risks that are specific to international operations, including the following:

•

potential restrictions on transfers of funds;

•

foreign currency fluctuations;

•

import and export duties and value added taxes;

•

import and export regulation changes that could erode profit margins or restrict exports;

•

changing foreign tax laws and regulations;

•

potential military conflicts, political instability and terrorism;

•

inflexible employee contracts in the event of business downturns;

•

uncertainties arising from local business conditions and cultural considerations; and

•

the burden and cost of compliance with foreign laws.

Manufacturing of electronic component and computer products is increasingly shifting to lower-cost production facilities in Asia, and most notably the People’s Republic of China. The Company’s business and prospects have been and could continue to be adversely affected by the shift to the Asian marketplace. In addition, we have operations in several locations in emerging or developing economies that have a potential for higher risk.

The Company may not adequately manage its international operations.

The Company anticipates that its foreign subsidiaries will engage in substantial regional operations. The Company currently manages its Asian and European subsidiaries, and plans to continue to manage future foreign subsidiaries, on a decentralized basis, with local and regional management retaining responsibility for day-to-day operations, profitability and the growth of these subsidiaries. If the Company fails to maintain or implement effective controls, it may experience inconsistencies in the operating and financial practices among its subsidiaries, which may harm its business, results of operations and liquidity.

If the Company is unable to recruit and retain key personnel necessary to operate its businesses, its ability to compete successfully will be adversely affected.

The Company is heavily dependent on its current executive officers, management and technical personnel. The loss of any key employee or the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel could adversely affect the Company’s ability to execute its current business plans. Competition for qualified personnel is intense, and the Company might not be able to retain its existing key employees or attract and retain any additional personnel.

If the Company fails to maintain an effective system of internal controls or discovers material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting, it may not be able to report its financial results accurately or timely or to detect fraud, which could have a material adverse effect on its business.

An effective internal control environment is necessary for the Company to produce reliable financial reports and is important in its efforts to prevent financial fraud. The Company is required to periodically evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of its internal controls over financial reporting. These evaluations may result in the conclusion that enhancements, modifications or changes to internal controls are necessary or desirable. While management evaluates the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls on a regular basis, these controls may not always be effective. There are inherent limitations on the effectiveness of internal controls including collusion, management override, and failure of human judgment. In addition, control procedures are designed to reduce rather than eliminate business risks. If the Company fails to maintain an effective system of internal controls or if management or the Company’s independent registered public

TABLE OF CONTENTS

accounting firm were to discover material weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls, it may be unable to produce reliable financial reports or prevent fraud and it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. In addition, the Company may be subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission or NASDAQ. Any such actions could result in an adverse reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of the Company’s financial statements, which could cause the market price of its common stock to decline or limit the Company’s access to other forms of capital.

The Company relies heavily on its internal information systems which, if not properly functioning, could materially adversely affect the Company’s business.

The Company’s current global operations reside on the Company’s technology platforms. Any of these systems are subject to electrical or telecommunications outages, computer hacking or other general system failure. Failure of its internal information systems or material difficulties in upgrading its global financial system could have material adverse effects on the Company’s business.

The Company’s response to the subpoenas received from the Securities Exchange Commission has required and is expected to require a significant amount of management time and attention and significant expenditure of funds, which may disrupt or have a negative impact on our business and adversely affect our results of operations.

Both the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Titan Supply Chain Services received subpoenas from the SEC on April 13, 2007 in an action captioned “In the Matter of Vitesse Semiconductor Corp.” requiring them to produce documents related to their business relationship with Vitesse Semiconductor Corp. The Company and Titan are cooperating fully with the SEC and the Company is conducting its own related internal investigation, which has required and is expected to continue to require a significant amount of management time and attention, which could disrupt or have a negative impact on our business. In addition, the response to the subpoenas and related internal investigation has required and is expected to continue to require the Company to expend significant amounts for professional fees and related expenses, which expenditures may have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. Further, the review of information by the SEC may result in additional inquiries.

The regulatory authorities in the jurisdictions for which the Company ships product could levy substantial fines on the company or limit its ability to export and re-export products if the Company ships product in violation of applicable export regulations.

A significant percentage of the Company’s sales are made outside of the United States through the exporting and re-exporting of product. Many of the products the company sells are either manufactured in the United States or based on U.S. technology (“U.S. Products”). As a result, in addition to the local jurisdictions’ export regulations applicable to individual shipments, U.S. Products are subject to the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”) when exported and re-exported to and from all international jurisdictions. Licenses or proper license exceptions may be required by local jurisdictions’ export regulations, including EAR, for the shipment of certain U.S. Products to certain countries, including China, India, Russia, and other countries in which the Company operates. Non-compliance with the EAR or other applicable export regulations can result in a wide range of penalties including the denial of export privileges, fines, criminal penalties, and the seizure of commodities. In the event that any export regulatory body determines that any shipments made by the Company violate the applicable export regulations, the Company could be fined significant sums and/or its export capabilities could be restricted, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

The Company may be subject to intellectual property rights claims, which are costly to defend, could require payment of damages or licensing fees and could limit the Company’s ability to use certain technologies in the future.

The Company sells products and utilizes processes that are highly innovative and may be subject to allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company notes that in recent years certain companies in the business of acquiring patents

TABLE OF CONTENTS

not for the purpose of developing technology but with the intention of aggressively seeking licensing revenue from purported infringers have made an increasing number of claims against the Company and/or its customers. In some cases, depending on the nature of the claim, the Company may be able to seek indemnification from its suppliers for itself and its customers against such claims, but there is no assurance that it will be successful in obtaining such indemnification.

Intellectual property right infringement claims, with or without merit, can be time-consuming and costly to litigate or settle and can divert management resources and attention. If successful they may require the Company to pay damages or seek royalty or license arrangements, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms. The payment of any such damages or royalties may significantly increase the Company’s operating expenses and harm its operating results and financial condition. Also, royalty or license arrangements may not be available at all. The Company may have to stop selling certain products or using technologies, which could affect the Company’s ability to compete effectively.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

For an understanding of the Company and the significant factors that influenced the Company’s performance during the past three fiscal years, the following discussion should be read in conjunction with the description of the business appearing in Item 1 of this Report and the consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, and other information appearing in Item 8 of this Report. The Company operates on a fiscal year ending on the last day of February.

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, NIA and NIE, principally to OEMs and other distributors nationally, consist of a high technology line of chip and leaded components including capacitors, resistors, inductors and circuit protection components. NIC, NIA and NIE are a prime source of qualified products by over 9,000 OEM’s in the United States. In addition, the Company distributes IBM and Sun Microsystems boards, servers, storage and software to OEM’s (referred to herein as “Systems”).

The electronics manufacturing and the electronics distribution industries in which the Company operates has 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

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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 222 employees in 20 offices, with warehouses in Singapore and Hong Kong. In fiscal 2007, we continued our growth strategy of expanding our European presence by acquiring DT Electronics Limited on August 29, 2006 (see footnote 3 to the consolidated financial statements) with 49 employees and a warehouse in Coventry, England. In fiscal 2008, we opened our first office in Munich, Germany with 22 employees and subsequently acquired Dacom-Süd Electronic Vertriebs GmbH (“Dacom”), a franchised electronics component distributor also based in Munich, Germany.

The Company also took advantage of the industry consolidation by hiring a significant number of additional sales and engineering personnel domestically in 2006 and adding franchise suppliers. This strategy has yielded positive results to date. See the summary of sales below.

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 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.

The Company is continuing to cooperate with the inquiry by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and to conduct its own related internal investigation in the action captioned “In the Matter of Vitesse Semiconductor Corp.” (referred to herein as the “Vitesse Matter”). The cost of such cooperation and investigation has required the Company to incur significant expenses for professional fees and related expenses. As of February 29, 2008, approximately $2,602,000 and $75,000 has been incurred for fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively. Management is presently unable to determine the duration of the SEC inquiry and the Company’s related internal investigation and, consequently, the total costs that will be incurred by the Company. Nevertheless, management expects that the Company will continue to incur costs at levels comparable to fiscal 2008 through the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

The Company has reevaluated its accounting policy for revenue reporting for its Titan division which provides primarily supply chain services. In accordance with EITF 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal vs. Net as an Agent,” the Company has revised its revenue presentation to net as an agent and therefore reduced sales and cost of sales in fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006 by $69,209,000, $70,252,000 and $63,033,000, respectively. Titan revenue is now reported in sales as a fee for services for all periods presented. There was no change to net income resulting from this change in classification.

The Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows can be impacted by a number of factors, including but not limited to those set forth below in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” any one of which could cause our actual results to vary materially from recent results or from our anticipated future results. For a discussion identifying additional risk factors and important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, also see the discussions in “Forward-Looking Statements,” “Risk Factors” and “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Form 10-K.

For the year ended February 29, 2008, net sales increased to $747,170,000 from $668,591,000 for the prior year with net income of $2,519,000 or $.14 per both basic and diluted share as compared to a net income of $7,717,000 or $.43 per basic and $.41 per diluted share in the prior fiscal year.

Sales of electronic components increased 20.1% in fiscal 2008 over 2007 and 36.3% in fiscal 2007 over 2006.

Sales of Systems declined in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007 due primarily to loss of business with certain key customers.

North American sales in fiscal 2008 have decreased compared to the prior year primarily due to the decline in Systems sales noted above, as well as the transfer of business to Asia.

Sales in Asia increased 55.1% in fiscal 2008 and 10.6% in fiscal 2007 when compared to the prior year due to our continued marketshare gains and the continued transfer of business to Asia from other markets.

Europe sales have increased 161.5% in fiscal 2008 and 265.9% in fiscal 2007 compared to the prior year primarily due to market expansion in England, driven by our acquisition of DT Electronics in England on August 29, 2006 and the commencement of operations in Germany, followed by our acquisition of Dacom-Süd Electronic Vertriebs GmbH in Munich, Germany.

Fiscal Year 2008 Versus 2007 Results of Operations

Net sales for the year ended February 29, 2008 aggregated $747,170,000 as compared to $668,591,000 for the year ended February 28, 2007, an increase of $78,579,000 or 11.8%. Management believes that this sales increase is due to increased market share resulting from the industry consolidation, its increased sales personnel, the expansion of its line card (franchised suppliers), its global customer base, and acquisitions. This was partially offset by a decline in the sales of Systems.

Gross profit margin as a percentage of net sales was 16.1% for the year ended February 29, 2008 as compared to 17.1% for the year ended February 28, 2007. The decreased margin is due to product mix, and increased order size of lower margin business coupled with increased sales in the Asian market, which requires lower selling prices due to volume demand from large Asian contract manufacturers. Management believes that margin pressures should stabilize in fiscal 2009, however, no assurances can be given in this regard.

As a percentage of sales, operating expenses increased to 15.1% as compared to 14.2% in the prior year. Operating expenses increased to $112,473,000 for the year ended February 29, 2008 from $94,891,000 for the year ended February 28, 2007, an increase of $17,582,000 or 18.5%. The dollar increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increases in the following expense categories: Approximately $10,240,000 or 58% of the increase was for personnel related costs resulting from increased staffing levels and related commissions to support increased sales including staffing for our start-up operation in Germany which had no operations in fiscal 2007. Approximately $4,100,000 or 23% of the increase was for professional fees due to the prior year’s financial statement restatement (see Note 2 to the Financial Statements) and ongoing SEC inquiry and the Company’s related internal investigation of the Vitesse matter. Approximately $3,242,000 or 19% of the increase was a result of net increases in various other expenses and fees such as rent, utilities, telephone, insurance, and computer expenses, among others, which represent an aggregate 4% of the Company’s total overhead.

Interest expense increased to $4,570,000 for the year ended February 29, 2008 as compared to $3,850,000 for the year ended February 28, 2007. This increase in interest expense resulted from higher levels of bank borrowings during the fiscal year to support the increase in accounts receivable and inventory levels, as well as the effect of increased interest rates on those borrowings during the fiscal year.

Income tax expense as a percentage of income before provision for income tax and minority interest (“effective tax rate”) was 21.3% and 49.4% in fiscal 2008 and 2007 respectively. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2008 was impacted by lower international tax rates than the United States statutory rate caused by the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

tax benefit associated with the election in 2008 to permanently reinvest foreign income in the foreign countries and by Federal and state interest and penalties associated with the 2007 financial statement restatement discussed in Note 2 to our financial statements and stock option related tax benefits.

The “effective tax rate” was 49.4% in fiscal 2007 and was impacted by interest and penalties of $745,000 related to errors in our U.S. Federal return and state income taxes.

Net income for the year ended February 29, 2008 was $2,519,000 or $.14 per both basic and diluted share as compared to $7,717,000 or $.43 per basic and $.41 per diluted share for the year ended February 28, 2007.

Fiscal Year 2007 Versus 2006 Results of Operations

Net sales for the year ended February 28, 2007 aggregated $668,591,000 as compared to $499,515,000 for the year ended February 28, 2006, an increase of $169,076,000 or 33.8%. Management believes that this sales increase is due to increased market share resulting from the industry consolidation, its increased sales personnel, the expansion of its line card (franchised suppliers) and its global customer base, and its purchase of DT Electronics, a distributor in England.

Gross profit margin as a percentage of net sales was 17.1% for the year ended February 28, 2007 as compared to 18.0% for the year ended February 28, 2006. The decreased margin is due to product mix, and increased order size coupled with increased sales in the Asian market, which requires lower selling prices due to volume demand from large Asian contract manufacturers.

As a percentage of sales, operating expenses decreased to 14.2% as compared to 15.9% in the prior year. Operating expenses increased to $94,891,000 for the year ended February 28, 2007 from $79,348,000 for the year ended February 28, 2006, an increase of $15,543,000 or 19.6%. The dollar increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increases in the following expense categories: Approximately $12,800,000 or 82.4% of the increase was for personnel related costs resulting from increased staffing levels and related commissions to support increased sales. Approximately $2,500,000 or 16.1% of the increase was a result of net increases in various other expenses and fees such as rent, utilities, telephone, insurance, and computer expenses, among others, which represent an aggregate 2.9% of the Company’s total overhead.

Interest expense increased to $3,850,000 for the year ended February 28, 2007 as compared to $3,298,000 for the year ended February 28, 2006. This increase in interest expense resulted from higher levels of bank borrowings during the fiscal year to support the increase in accounts receivable and inventory levels, as well as the effect of increased interest rates on those borrowings during the fiscal year.

Income tax expense as a percentage of income before provision for income tax and minority interest (“effective tax rate”) is 49.4% and 50.3% in fiscal 2007 and 2006 respectively. The effective tax rate was impacted by the correction of errors in our United States Federal and state tax returns, which resulted in interest and penalties of $745,000 and $14,800 for fiscal 2007 and 2006 respectively. Other items included a foreign tax rate differential on foreign losses and other non-deductible expenses.

Net income for the year ended February 28, 2007 was $7,717,000 or $.43 per basic share and $.41 per diluted share as compared to $3,413,000 or $.20 per basic and $.19 per diluted share for the year ended February 28, 2006.

Management attributes the increase in earnings in fiscal 2007 to the increase in sales providing increased gross margin dollars exceeding the increase in operating and interest expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources: Fiscal Year 2008 Versus 2007

The Company ended its 2008 fiscal year with working capital and cash aggregating approximately $204,456,000 and $3,886,000, respectively, as compared to approximately $171,230,000 and $4,747,000, respectively, at February 28, 2007. The Company’s current ratio at February 29, 2008, was 3.6:1 as compared to 3.1:1 at February 28, 2007. The Company utilized excess cash at February 29, 2008 to pay down its Revolving Credit line which was $69,300,000 at February 29, 2008.

In fiscal 2008, approximately $39,000,000 of cash was borrowed from the Company Revolving Credit Line along with cash on hand to fund the cash used in operations ($31,000,000), the Dacom acquisition

TABLE OF CONTENTS

($2,857,000) and fund capital expenditures ($2,808,000). Cash used in operations was primarily used to fund increased inventory and accounts receivable.

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 $64,300,000 at February 29, 2008 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.

On August 29, 2006, the Company acquired DT Electronics, a company engaged in the electronics components business in the United Kingdom. The initial purchase price for DT Electronics as of the acquisition date was $5,731,000. The transaction also provides for potential additional payments to the seller in three installments through 2009 from a guaranteed minimum of approximately $1,611,000 to a maximum of approximately $4,989,000, which amounts are calculated using current exchange rates. Payments of any amounts above the minimum are contingent upon the attainment of certain earnings milestones by DT Electronics during the three year period. The Company has accrued the maximum estimated payment currently since DT Electronics has achieved the earnings milestones established by the agreement. The DT Electronics acquisition was funded from existing cash on hand.

On June 6, 2007, the Company acquired Dacom-Süd Electronic Vertriebs GmbH in Germany for $2,857,000 from cash on hand.

The Company also has a receivable financing agreement (the “Bank Credit Line”) with a bank in England which provides for maximum borrowings of £2.5 million (approximately $5,000,000) which bear interest at the bank’s base rate plus 1.75%. The interest rate at February 29, 2008 was 5.25%. This Bank Credit Line renews annually in July.

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 February 29, 2008, there were $5,000,000 in borrowings at 5.405%. This credit line expires on November 20, 2009.

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

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes and contingencies and litigation, on an ongoing basis. 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 that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, involve the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Revenue Recognition — The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 104”). Under SAB 104, revenue is recognized when the title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenues at time of shipment of its products and sales are recorded net of discounts and returns.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts — The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated bad debts. Our estimate of the allowances needed is based on the ability of the Company’s customers to make payments. If the ability of the customers were to deteriorate, additional allowances might be required thereby reducing our operating income. For example, at fiscal year end, each additional 1% accounts receivable allowance would reduce operating income by approximately $1,545,000 for the year ended February 29, 2008.

Inventory Valuation — Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market. Write-downs of inventories to market value are based upon product franchise agreements governing price protection, stock rotation and obsolescence, as well as assumptions about future demand market conditions and the ability to return inventory pursuant to our distributor franchise agreements. In prior periods, reserves required for obsolescence were not material to our financial statements. If assumptions about future demand or actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional write-downs of inventories could be required. For example, at fiscal year end, each additional 1% of obsolete inventory or inventory that the Company was unable to return pursuant to its distributor or related agreements, would reduce operating income by approximately $1,262,000 for the year ended February 29, 2008.

Accounting for Income Taxes — Management’s judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and the need for a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets. Realization of the carrying value of the Company’s deferred tax assets is dependent upon, among other things, our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In assessing whether a valuation allowance is required, we consider a variety of factors, including the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, future taxable income, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. Should the Company determine that it is not more likely than not that it will be able to realize all or part of its deferred tax assets in the future, a valuation allowance will be recorded against the deferred tax assets with a corresponding charge to income in the period such determination is made.

In addition, the Company establishes reserves for uncertain tax positions unless such positions are determined to be “more likely than not” of being sustained upon examination, based on their technical merits. That is, for financial reporting purposes, the Company only recognizes tax benefits taken on the tax return that it believes are “more likely than not” of being sustained. There is considerable judgment involved in determining whether positions taken on the tax return are “more likely than not” of being sustained. As a result, there may be differences between the anticipated and actual outcomes of these matters that may result in reversals of reserves or the need for additional tax liabilities in excess of the reserved amounts. To the extent such adjustments are warranted, the Company’s effective tax rate may potentially fluctuate as a result.

Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangibles — In assessing the recoverability of our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, we must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. If it is determined that impairment indicators are present and that the assets will not be fully recoverable, their carrying values are reduced to estimated fair value. Impairment indicators include, among other conditions, cash flow deficits, an historic or anticipated decline in revenue or operating profit, adverse legal or regulatory developments, and a material decrease in the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

fair value of some or all of the assets. Assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows generated by other asset groups. Changes in strategy and/or market conditions could significantly impact these assumptions, and thus we may be required to record impairment charges for those assets not previously recorded.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of February 29, 2008, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

(i)

Base salary excluding potential bonuses

At April 30, 2008, the Company had $263,852,000 of purchase orders outstanding with suppliers which generally can be cancelled with 30 days’ notice.

Inflationary Impact

Since the inception of operations, inflation has not significantly affected the Company’s operating results. However, inflation and changing interest rates have had a significant effect on the economy in general and therefore could affect the operating results of the Company in the future.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate 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 facilities bear interest based on fluctuating interest rates. The interest rate under its U.S. credit agreement is tied to the prime or LIBOR rate, the interest rate under its U.K. receivable financing is tied to the Bank of England’s base rate, and the interest rate under the Singapore credit agreement is tied to SIBOR; all of these interest rates 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 $601,000 for the year ended February 29, 2008 and $601,000 for the year ended February 28, 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 not entered into any instruments in an effort to manage its interest rate risk.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

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 31% 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 were $87,300,000 and $80,200,000 at February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007 respectively, translated into US dollars at the closing exchange rates. The Company also acquires certain inventory from foreign suppliers at prices denominated in foreign currencies and,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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 or year ended February 29, 2008. The Company does not currently employ any currency derivative instruments, futures contracts or other currency hedging techniques to mitigate its risks in this regard.

Industry Risk

The electronic component industry is cyclical which can cause significant fluctuations in sales, gross profit margins and profits, from year to year. For example, during calendar 2001, the industry experienced a severe decline in the demand for electronic components, which caused sales to decrease by 56%. The prior year reflected a 74% increase in net sales. It is difficult to predict the timing of the changing cycles in the electronic component industry.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a. Organization

Nu Horizons Electronics Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), (both wholly and majority owned) are wholesale and export distributors of semiconductor and passive electronic components throughout the United States, Asia, Australia and Europe.

b. Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nu Horizons Electronics Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, NIC Components Corp. (“NIC”), Nu Horizons International Corp. (“International”), NUHC Inc. (“NUC”), Nu Horizons Asia PTE LTD (“NUA”), Nu Horizons Electronics Pty Ltd (“NUZ”), Nu Horizons Electronics Asia Pte Ltd., Nu Horizons Electronics Hong Kong Ltd (“NUHK”), Nu Horizons Electronics NZ Ltd. (“NUN”), Nu Horizons Electronics (Shanghai) Co Ltd. (“NUS”), Nu Horizons Electronics Asia Pte Ltd. Korea (“NUK”), Nu Horizons Electronics Europe Limited (“NUE”), Nu Horizons Electronics GmbH (“NUD”), Dacom-Süd Electronic Vertriebs GmbH (“Dacom”), DT Electronics Limited (“DT”), Titan Supply Chain Services Corp. (“Titan”), Titan Supply Chain Services PTE LTD (“TSC”), Titan Supply Chain Services Limited (“TSE”), Razor Electronics (“RAZ”), Nu Exchange (“NUX”), Nu Horizons Electronics Hong Kong Ltd. (“NUO”) and its majority owned subsidiaries, NIC Components Europe Limited (“NIE”) and NIC Components Asia PTE LTD (“NIA”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

c. Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

d. Concentration of Credit Risk/Fair Value

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable.

The Company maintains, at times, deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. Management attempts to monitor the soundness of the financial institutions and believes the Company’s risk is negligible. Concentrations with regard to accounts receivable are limited due to the Company’s large customer base.

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amount of long-term debt also approximates fair value since the variable interest rates on these instruments approximate market interest rates.

e. Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

f. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The allowances for doubtful accounts are determined using a combination of factors, including the length of time the receivables are outstanding, the current business environment, and historical experience.

g. Inventories

Inventories, which consist primarily of goods held for resale, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. In excess of 90% of our total inventories are covered by product line distributor

agreements whereby the Company has the right to return certain slow-moving and obsolete inventory to our suppliers. Obsolescence charges for inventory not covered by such agreements have not been material to date.

h. Depreciation

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method as follows:


Office equipment		5 years
Furniture and fixtures		5 – 12 years
Computer equipment		5 years

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life or the term of the lease. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations and major improvements are capitalized. Upon retirement, sale or other disposition, the associated cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in operations.

i. Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax impact of differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured considering all expected future events other than enactments of changes in tax laws or rates. Based upon historical and projected levels of taxable income and analysis of other key factors, the Company records a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, as deemed necessary, to state such assets at their net realizable value. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period in which the new rate is enacted.

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.

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, requiring the restatement of our financial statements for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2006 and 2007 (see Note 2). After giving effect to the restatement, the subsequent adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on our financial statements. In addition, we do not anticipate material changes to this liability for the next twelve months.

With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to fiscal 2005. Earlier years related to certain foreign jurisdictions remain subject to examination. Various state and foreign income tax returns are currently under examination. While we intend to contest any future tax assessments for potential audit issues, no assurance can be provided that we would ultimately prevail.

j. Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB 104”). Under SAB 104, revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenue typically is recognized at time of shipment. Sales are recorded net of discounts, rebates, and returns in accordance with EITF 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given By a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products).”

k. Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company are included in costs of sales and aggregated $1,790,000, $932,000 and $926,000 for fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

l. Advertising and Promotion Costs

Advertising and promotion costs, which are included in Operating expenses, are expensed as incurred. For the fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006, such costs aggregated $899,000, $385,000 and $203,000, respectively.

m. Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation, plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding. Such securities, shown below, presented on a common share equivalent basis have been included in the per share computations:


	Years Ended
	February 29, 2008		February 28, 2007		February 28, 2006
Weighted average shares outstanding – Basic		17,931,356		17,871,671		17,111,102
Assumed conversion of stockoptions and restricted shares		650,774		769,804		593,271
Weighted average shares – Diluted		18,582,130		18,641,475		17,704,373

The above calculations for fiscal year 2008 and 2007 exclude 344,750 and 165,750 options, respectively as their effect was antidilutive.

n. Stock-Based Compensation

Effective March 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“Statement No. 123R”), which requires share-based payment (“SBP”) awards exchanged for employee services to be measured at fair value and expensed in the consolidated statements of operations over the requisite employee service period.

Prior to March 1, 2006, the Company accounted for SBP awards under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, which utilized the intrinsic value method and

did not require any expense to be recorded in the consolidated financial statements if the exercise price of the award was not less than the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The Company elected to adopt, for periods prior to March 1, 2006, the disclosure requirements of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, as amended by FASB Statement No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure” (collectively, “Statement No. 123”) which used a fair value based method of accounting for SBP awards.

Statement No. 123R requires companies to record compensation expense for stock options measured at fair value, on the date of grant, using an option-pricing model. The fair value of the Company’s stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which is consistent with the Company’s valuation techniques previously utilized under Statement No. 123.

The Company adopted the modified prospective transition method provided for under Statement No. 123R and, accordingly, did not restate prior period amounts. Under this transition method, compensation expense for the year ended February 28, 2007 includes compensation expense for all SBP awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, March 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of Statement No. 123. Stock-based compensation expense for all SBP awards granted after March 1, 2006 is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of Statement No. 123R. Stock-based compensation expense includes an estimate for forfeitures and is recognized over the expected term of the award on a straight-line basis upon adoption of Statement No. 123R. Upon adoption of Statement No. 123R, the Company evaluated the need to record a cumulative effect adjustment relating to estimated forfeitures for unvested previously issued awards and concluded the impact was not material.

Statement No. 123R requires that the realized tax benefit related to the excess of the deductible amount over the compensation expense recognized be reported as a financing cash flow rather than as an operating cash flow, as required under previous accounting guidance.

If compensation cost for the Company’s stock-based compensation plans had been determined in a manner consistent with the fair value approach described in SFAS No. 123R, the Company’s net income and net income per share as reported for the year ended February 28, 2006 would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below.


Net income:
As reported	$	3,413,000
Stock-based compensation cost – net of tax		188,000
Pro forma	$	3,225,000
Basic earnings per share:
As reported	$	.20
Pro forma	$	.19
Diluted earnings per share:
As reported	$	.19
Pro forma	$	.18

Options vest over several years and new options are generally granted each year. Because of these factors, the pro forma effect shown above may not be representative of the effect of SFAS No. 123R in future years.

In November 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS123R-3, Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards (“FSP”). We have elected to follow the alternative transition method as described in the FSP for computing our additional paid-in capital pool. In addition, we treat the tax deductions from stock options as being realized when they reduce taxes payable in

accordance with the principles and timing under the relevant tax law. Under this transition method, compensation cost is recognized on or after the required effective date for the portion of outstanding awards for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered, based on the grant-date fair value of those awards previously calculated under SFAS No. 123 for pro forma disclosure purposes. The financial statements for periods prior to the date of adoption have not been restated in accordance with the modified prospective application.

The fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes method with the following weighted average assumptions.


	2008			2007			2006
Option Plans:
Dividends		—			—			—
Expected term		2 – 7 years			2 – 7 years			2 – 7 years
Risk free interest rate		4.0	%		4.0	%		4.0	%
Volatility rate		58.4	%		55.6	%		52.3	%

The following table shows the weighted average fair value of options using the fair value approach under SFAS 123:


	2008		2007		2006
Weighted average fair value of options granted during the year	$	4.79	$	7.11	$	3.89

o. Cost in Excess of Net Assets Acquired (“Goodwill”)

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, goodwill must be tested at least annually for impairment at the reporting unit level. If an indication of impairment exists, we are required to determine if such goodwill’s implied fair value is less than the carrying value in order to determine the amount, if any, of the impairment loss required to be recorded. Impairment indicators include, among other conditions, cash flow deficits, an historic or anticipated decline in revenue or operating profits, adverse legal or regulatory developments, accumulation of costs significantly in excess of amounts originally expected to acquire the asset and/or a material decrease in the fair value of some or all of the assets. The Company performs the required impairment tests of goodwill annually. There was no indication of impairment at February 29, 2008.

p. Long-Lived Assets, Other Than Goodwill and Other Intangibles

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. SFAS No. 144 requires the Company to review its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any such asset may not be recoverable. The estimate of cash flow, which is used to determine recoverability, is based upon, among other things, certain assumptions about future operating performance. The Company’s estimates of undiscounted cash flow may differ from actual cash flow due to such factors including technological advances, changes to the Company’s business model, or changes in the Company’s capital strategy or planned use of long-lived assets. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest, is less than the carrying value, we would recognize an impairment loss, measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. No indicators of impairment were noted at February 29, 2008

q. Foreign Currency Translation/Other Comprehensive Income

Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated at the balance sheet exchange rates, while income and expenses are translated at average rates for the period. Translation gains and losses

are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on the statement of shareholders’ equity in accordance with SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”.

r. Reclassifications

Certain prior years’ information has been reclassified to conform to current year’s reporting presentation.

s. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Affecting the Company

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Specifically, this Statement sets forth a definition of fair value, and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are generally required to be applied on a prospective basis, except to certain financial instruments accounted for under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” for which the provisions of SFAS No. 157 should be applied retrospectively. The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and is still evaluating the effect, if any, on its financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure, on an item-by-item basis, specified financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are required to be reported in earnings at each reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, the provisions of which are required to be applied prospectively. The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 159 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“Statement No. 141(R)”). Statement No. 141(R) changes the requirements for an acquirer’s recognition and measurement of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in a business combination. It also requires that transactions costs be expensed as incurred. Statement No. 141(R) is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008 and should be applied prospectively for all business combinations entered into after the date of adoption. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 141(R) in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and is still evaluating the effect, if any, on its financial position or results or operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No.160”). SFAS No. 160 requires (i) that noncontrolling (minority) interests be reported as a component of shareholders’ equity, (ii) that net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be separately identified in the consolidated statement of operations, (iii) that changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling interest be accounted for as equity transactions, (iv) that any retained noncontrolling equity investment upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary be initially measured at fair value, and (v) that sufficient disclosures are provided that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. Statement No. 160 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008 and should be applied prospectively. However, the presentation and disclosure requirements of the statement shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 160 is not anticipated to materially impact the company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

2. Restatement of Fiscal 2007 and 2006 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 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 for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2006 and February 28, 2007, as and previously reported in a Form 10-K/A for the year ended February 28, 2007, and reflected in this Form 10-K.

On August 29, 2006, the Company acquired the outstanding shares of DT Electronics, an entity engaged in the electronic components distribution business in the United Kingdom. This acquisition enabled us to expand our presence in Europe. The operating results of DT are reflected in the accompanying financial statements since the date of acquisition.

The initial purchase price for DT as of the acquisition date was $5,731,000 plus transaction costs of $367,000. The transaction also provides for potential additional payments to the sellers in three installments through 2009 from a guaranteed minimum of £850,000 (approximately $1,611,000) to a maximum of £2,549,000 (approximately $4,989,000), which amounts are calculated using current exchange rates. Payments of any amounts above the minimum were contingent upon the attainment of certain earnings milestones by DT during the three year period. The Company will pay the maximum estimated payment since DT has achieved the earnings milestones established by the agreement. The Company has accrued $3,245,000 at February 29, 2008, which is included in current liabilities.

The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” The purchase price was first allocated to tangible and any identifiable intangible assets. The excess purchase price was allocated to goodwill, which amounted to $5,894,000. The goodwill is not tax deductible. We allocated $2,438,000 to customer relationships which will be amortized over 17 years.

On June 6, 2007, the Company acquired Dacom-Süd Electronic Vertriebs GmbH (“Dacom”), an entity engaged in the electronic components distribution business in Germany. The acquisition furthered our expansion in Europe. The operating results of Dacom are reflected in the accompanying financial statements since the date of acquisition.

On January 31, 2007, the Company entered into an amended and restated secured revolving line of credit agreement 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. 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 $64,300,000 at February 29, 2008 and $30,000,000 at February 28, 2007. LIBOR rates ranged from 4.62% to 4.69% at February 29, 2008.

There were no borrowings outstanding bearing interest at the prime rate at February 29, 2008. 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 £2.5 million (approximately $5,000,000) with interest at the bank’s base rate plus 1.75% (5.25% at February 29, 2008). Borrowings under the Bank Credit Line were £310,000 ($603,000) at February 29, 2008. The Bank Credit Line renews annually in July.

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 receivables 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 February 29, 2008, there were $5,000,000 in borrowings under this credit line. There were no borrowings outstanding at February 28, 2007. The line of credit expires on November 20, 2009.

The aggregate intrinsic value above of $1,480,000 represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day 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 February 29, 2008. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for fiscal 2008 was $132,000.

Cash received from option exercises during the 2008, 2007 and 2006 fiscal years was $210,000, $2,726,000 and $2,636,000, respectively and is included within the financing activities section in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.

Shares of restricted stock awarded may not be sold, transferred, pledged or assigned 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), which is a five or seven year period from the date of grant. For fiscal years 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded compensation expense aggregating $723,000 and $306,000, respectively relating to the vesting of restricted stock.

9. Income Taxes (Restated) – (continued)

We provide for deferred taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (SFAS 109), which requires the asset and liability approach for measuring deferred tax assets and liabilities due to temporary differences existing at year-end using currently enacted tax rates. We assess the recoverability of the deferred tax assets and determine if a valuation allowance is necessary under a “more likely than not” approach. We analyze our ability to utilize deferred tax assets by considering future taxable income, reversal of tangible temporary differences and available tax planning strategies. During fiscal 2008, we recorded a valuation allowance of $839,000 related to a foreign net operating loss carryforward (“NOL”) due to uncertainty regarding our ability to utilize such NOL in the future.

The significant components of deferred assets and liabilities are as follows:


	2008			2007
				(As Restated)
Deferred tax assets:
Accounts receivable	$	1,293,000		$	1,524,000
Inventory		1,422,000			779,000
Accrued expenses		554,000			480,000
Stock options		616,000			—
Foreign net operating loss carryforward		1,302,000			293,000
Other		(7,000	)		6,000
Total deferred tax assets		5,180,000			3,082,000
Valuation allowance		(839,000	)		—
Net deferred tax assets	$	4,341,000		$	3,082,000
Deferred tax liabilities:
Fixed assets	$	(1,141,000	)	$	(1,307,000	)
Intangibles		(1,393,000	)		—
Income on Domestic International Sales Corp.		(637,000	)		(730,000	)
Unremitted foreign earnings		—			(481,000	)
Other		(107,000	)		(207,000	)
Total deferred tax liabilities	$	(3,278,000	)	$	(2,725,000	)
Net deferred tax asset	$	1,063,000		$	357,000

As of February 28, 2008, the Company had approximately $4,300,000 of foreign operating loss carryforwards available. Foreign NOL’s of $546,000 will expire in 2024; the remaining foreign NOL’s have an indefinite life.

The tax years with respect to Federal income tax returns have been closed for all years through 2004.

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on March 1, 2007. The adoption did not result in the recognition of any unrecognized tax benefits. There were no unrecognized tax benefits at February 29, 2008.

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in tax expense. During fiscal 2008, the Company incurred $760,000 of expense related to interest and penalties, of which $150,000 was accrued at February 29, 2008.

10. Employee Benefit Plans

On January 13, 1987, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the adoption of an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). The ESOP covers all eligible employees and contributions are determined by the Board of Directors. The ESOP purchases shares of the Company’s common stock using loan proceeds. As the loan is repaid, a pro rata amount of common stock is released for allocation to eligible employees. The Company makes cash contributions to the ESOP to meet its obligations. No contributions have been made to the ESOP for the three years ended February 29, 2008. At February 29, 2008, the ESOP owned 404,467 shares of the Company’s common stock at an average price of approximately $3.45 per share. In April, 2008, the Board of Directors approved a resolution to proceed with filing an application to terminate this ESOP.

In January 1991, the Company established a 401(k) profit sharing plan to cover all eligible employees. The Company’s contributions to the plan are discretionary, but may not exceed 1% of compensation. Contributions to the plan for the three years ended February 29, 2008, February 28, 2007 and 2006 were $279,000, $307,000 and $262,000, respectively.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Employment Contracts

On September 13, 1996, the Company signed employment contracts (the “Contracts”), as amended, with two of its senior executives for a continually renewing five-year term. The Contracts specified a base salary of $226,545 for each officer, which shall be increased each year by the change in the consumer price index, and also entitle those officers to an annual bonus equal to 3.33% (6.7% in the aggregate) of the Company’s consolidated earnings before income taxes. On the termination of his employment agreement, each executive is entitled to certain payments, as follows:

•

Due to death or Disability (as defined in the employment agreement), salary and benefits for a five (5) year period.

•

For Cause (as defined in the employment agreement), solely base salary through the date of termination.

•

Termination other than for death, disability or cause, shall be deemed to be a “Retirement” under the Retirement Plan discussed below.

•

Following a Change in Control (as defined in the employment agreement), a lump sum equal to three times the average total compensation paid to the applicable employee with respect to the five fiscal years of the Company prior to the Change of Control, minus $100.

Executive Retirement Plan

On December 1, 2004, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of the Nu Horizons Executive Retirement Plan (the “Retirement Plan”). Pursuant to the terms of the Retirement Plan, the Company will provide an unfunded retirement benefit to certain executive employees of the Company and its subsidiaries upon such executive’s retirement (as defined in the Retirement Plan). At the time the Board of Directors approved the Retirement Plan, they determined that the participation of Mr. Nadata, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Schuster, President, each a Founder (as defined in the Retirement Plan), would be contingent upon the execution and delivery by each of them of an amendment to their respective employment agreements, which amendment would provide that a termination of employment other than for death, disability or cause would be a “Retirement” under the Retirement Plan. As a result the “Effective Date” of the Retirement Plan is March 28, 2005, the date of such execution and delivery. Upon his Retirement, each executive will be entitled to receive an annual benefit in an amount determined by the number of years of service the executive has provided to the Company, ranging from a minimum of $310,000 for 20 years of service to a maximum of $393,000 for 25 years of service. The Company has accrued $1,684,000 and $1,200,000 at February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007, respectively.

Litigation

At times the Company is involved in various lawsuits incidental to its business. At February 29, 2008, management does not believe that any litigation matter is material to its financial statements.

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 February 29, 2008, a class has not been certified. The complaint against Nu Horizons was dismissed with prejudice. The plaintiffs have not determined whether they will appeal that ruling. Nu Horizons will vigorously defend any such appeal.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Nu Horizons Electronics Corp.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Nu Horizons Electronics Corp. (the “company”) as of February 29, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. Our audit also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audit.

An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Nu Horizons Electronics Corp. at February 29, 2008, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” effective March 1, 2007, and the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” as revised, effective March 1, 2006.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

On January 4, 2008, the Company dismissed Lazar Levine & Felix LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and approved the engagement of Ernst & Young LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm for the Registrant’s fiscal year ending February 29, 2008. In connection with the change in accountants, there was no matter that was either subject of disagreement or event, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instruction to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

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.

Based upon the evaluation that was conducted as of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of February 29, 2008.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

•

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

•

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

•

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management has assessed the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting as of February 29, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on our assessment and the criteria set forth by COSO, management believes that Nu Horizons maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 29, 2008. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our 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. Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors 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

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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 breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. 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. Our system contains self monitoring mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct deficiencies as they are identified.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Nu Horizons Electronics Corp.

We have audited Nu Horizons Electronics Corp.’s (the “company”) internal control over financial reporting as of February 29, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO criteria”). The company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report of Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Nu Horizons Electronics Corp. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 29, 2008, based on the COSO criteria. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Nu Horizons Electronics Corp. as of February 29, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended February 29, 2008 and our report dated May 12, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Changes in Internal Controls

During the last fiscal quarter, the Company completed the process of integrating DT’s operations, including its inventory management systems, sales order system and other controls.

In fiscal 2008, in order to remediate the material weakness in internal controls over the Company’s accounting for income taxes identified in our prior year Form 10-K/A, the Company engaged an independent registered public accounting firm 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.

Except as previously set forth, there were no changes made in our 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 our internal controls over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risk Factors

A large portion of the Company’s revenue comes from sales of semiconductors, which is a highly cyclical industry, and an industry down-cycle could adversely affect its operating results.

If the Company is unable to maintain its relationships with key suppliers, the Company’s sales could be adversely affected.

Declines in the value of the Company’s inventory could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

The volume and timing of customer sales may vary and could materially affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

Substantial defaults by the Company’s customers on the Company’s accounts receivable could have a significant negative impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

The electronics component and computer industries are highly competitive and if the Company cannot effectively compete, its revenue may decline.

The Company may not have adequate or cost-effective liquidity or capital resources.

Products sold by the Company may be found to be defective and, as a result, warranty and/or product liability claims may be asserted against the Company which may have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company’s non-U.S. locations represent a significant portion of the Company’s revenue, and consequently, we are increasingly exposed to risks associated with operating internationally.

The Company may not adequately manage its international operations.

If the Company is unable to recruit and retain key personnel necessary to operate its businesses, its ability to compete successfully will be adversely affected.

The Company relies heavily on its internal information systems which, if not properly functioning, could materially adversely affect the Company’s business.

The regulatory authorities in the jurisdictions for which the Company ships product could levy substantial fines on the company or limit its ability to export and re-export products if the Company ships product in violation of applicable export regulations.

The Company may be subject to intellectual property rights claims, which are costly to defend, could require payment of damages or licensing fees and could limit the Company’s ability to use certain technologies in the future.
