NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)


NOTE 1:    INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The interim financial statements are unaudited and are prepared in accordance with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of Management, the interim financial statements include all normal adjustments and disclosures necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes included in the fiscal 2001 annual report.

NOTE 2:     RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (SFAS No. 141), “Business Combinations,” and issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS No. 142), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations and requires that all business combinations be accounted for as purchases. In addition, SFAS No. 141 establishes new rules concerning recognition of intangible assets arising in a purchase business combination and requires enhanced disclosure of information in the period in which a business combination is completed. SFAS No. 142 establishes new rules on accounting for goodwill whereby goodwill will no longer be amortized to expense, but rather will be subject to impairment review. SFAS No. 141 is effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, and the Company has now adopted this accounting standard. The Company has the option of adopting SFAS No. 142 either July 1, 2001 or July 1, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating the impact to its financial statements, financial position, results of operations and cash flows related to the implementation of these two Statements, and has determined that SFAS No. 142 will be adopted on July 1, 2002. Information related to the Company’s goodwill and intangible assets is presented in Note 6.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 (SFAS No. 143), "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," and in August 2001 issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS No. 144), "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 143 establishes standards of accounting for asset retirement obligations (i.e., legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or the normal operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of lessees) and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 144 replaces existing accounting pronouncements related to impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. Both SFAS No. 143 and No. 144 are effective beginning with the Company's fiscal 2003 year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these two statements, but does not expect any significant impact on its balance sheet or financial condition when they are implemented.

NOTE 7:     REVOLVING LINES OF CREDIT AND LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company has an unsecured $50 million revolving line of credit with its bank group. As of September 30, 2001 the available portion of this line of credit was $31.6 million. A portion of this credit facility is a $20 million line of credit that expires in the third quarter of fiscal 2002. The remainder of the credit facility is a $30 million three year committed line of credit that expires in fiscal 2004 and that has an annual renewal for the third year of commitment in the third quarter of fiscal 2002. Interest on the revolving lines of credit is charged based upon an increment over the LIBOR rate as periodically determined, an increment over the Federal Funds Rate as periodically determined, or at the bank's base lending rate, at the Company's option. The increment over the LIBOR borrowing rate, as periodically determined, fluctuates between 50 and 75 basis points depending upon the ratio of indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). The increment over the Federal Funds borrowing rate, as periodically determined, fluctuates between 150 and 200 basis points, and the commitment fee on the unused balance of the $30 million committed portion of the line of credit fluctuates between 15 and 25 basis points based upon the same leverage ratio. At September 30, 2001 the average interest rate on borrowings under this revolving line of credit was 4.1%. Under terms of these agreements, the Company has agreed to a negative pledge of assets, to maintain minimum levels of profitability and net worth, and is subject to certain maximum levels of leverage.

Results of Operations

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000

     Net sales of $67,049,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 increased 25% from fiscal 2001 first quarter net sales of $53,609,000. Results of the Commercial / Industrial Lighting Segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 include the operations of LSI Lightron (acquired November 2000), and results of the Image Segment include the operations of LSI Adapt (acquired January 2001). Commercial / Industrial Lighting Segment net sales increased 33% and Image Segment net sales increased 20% in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared to the prior year. The increase in Commercial / Industrial Lighting Segment is attributed to the November 2000 acquisition of LSI Lightron (over 20% of net sales of this Segment). Excluding the acquisition of LSI Lightron, net sales in this segment increased approximately 4%. The increase in Image Segment net sales is primarily attributed to three factors. First is the inclusion of the results of LSI Adapt, acquired in January 2001 and representing approximately 5% of Image Segment net sales. Second is the volume gain in menu board systems resulting from the beginning of a roll out program with a quick service restaurant customer. Third is an increase in graphics business related to roll out image conversion programs for two customers in the petroleum / convenience store market. Net sales of the Image Segment to the petroleum / convenience store market represented 34% and 38% of total net sales in the first quarters of fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2001, respectively. Sales to this market increased 11% in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared to the same period last year. While sales prices in some markets that the Company serves were increased, inflation did not have a significant impact on sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 as competitive pricing pressures held price increases to a minimum.

      Gross profit of $19,084,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 increased 24% from last year's gross profit of $15,399,000, and decreased as a percentage of net sales to 28.5% in fiscal year 2002 as compared to 28.7% in the prior year. The increase in amount of gross profit is due primarily to the 25% increase in net sales. Selling and administrative expenses increased 17% to $12,784,000 from $10,881,000. The increase was caused primarily by the additions of LSI Lightron and LSI Adapt, and by the increase in net sales. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses were at 19.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared to 20.3% in the prior year. The Company continued the task of converting its business operating software and systems company-wide. Total implementation costs expensed were $134,000 ($0.01 per share, diluted) in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared to $180,000 ($0.01 per share, diluted) in the same period of fiscal 2001. Expenditures are expected to continue through fiscal 2003.

      The Company reported net interest expense of $236,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared to net interest income of $364,000 in the same period of fiscal 2001. The change between years is primarily reflective of the Company being in a net borrowing position since November 2000 and in a net cash investment position prior to that date. The Company's effective tax rate of 39.0% was consistent for the first quarter of both years, and was up slightly from the fiscal year 2001 38.8% effective tax rate.

      Net income of $3,702,000 ($0.35 per share) in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 increased 24% from last year's first quarter net income of $2,981,000 ($0.29 per share). The increase is primarily the result of increased gross profit from increased sales, partially offset by increased operating expenses, net interest expense and income taxes. Diluted earnings per share of $0.35 in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 increased 21% from $0.29 per share reported in the same period last year. The weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share increased 2% in fiscal 2002 to 10,655,000 shares from 10,435,000 shares in 2001 as a result of common shares issued both for the exercise of stock options and for an acquisition during fiscal 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The Company considers its level of cash on hand, its current ratio and working capital levels to be its most important measures of short-term liquidity. For long-term liquidity indicators, the Company believes its ratio of long-term debt to equity and its historical levels of net cash flows from operating activities to be the most important measures.

      At September 30, 2001 the Company had working capital of $57.4 million, compared to $62.1 million at June 30, 2001. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities decreased to 2.54 to 1 from 3.09 to 1. The decreased working capital is primarily attributed to decreased cash and cash equivalents, decreased accounts receivables, and increased accounts payable, notes payable to bank and accrued expenses, partially offset by increased inventories and other current assets.

      The Company generated $5.7 million of cash from operating activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared to $1.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2001. The increase in net cash flows from operating activities in fiscal 2002 is primarily the net result of increased net income, a reduction in accounts receivable, increased accounts payable and accrued expenses, and increased amortization expense, partially offset by increased inventories and increased payments of liabilities from discontinued operations. As of September 30, 2001, the Company's days sales outstanding were at approximately 70 days, decreased from 73 days at June 30, 2001. Collection cycles from a few large customers in the Image Segment, as well as several other customers, have been very slow due to a combination of factors, including customer cash availability and economic conditions. However, the Company believes that these receivables are ultimately collectible and that aggregate bad debt allowances are adequate.

      In addition to cash generated from operations, the Company's primary source of liquidity continues to be its line of credit. The Company has an unsecured $50 million revolving line of credit with its bank group. As of October 14, 2001 there was approximately $32 million available on this line of credit. This line of credit is composed of a $30 million three year committed credit facility expiring in fiscal 2004 and a $20 million credit facility with an annual renewal in the third quarter of fiscal 2002. The Company believes that the total of available lines of credit plus cash flows from operating activities is adequate for the Company's fiscal 2002 operational and capital expenditure needs. The Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants. Capital expenditures of $1.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compare to $2.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2001. Capital expenditures totaling approximately $12 million are planned for fiscal 2002, exclusive of business acquisitions.

      On October 22, 2001 the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share (approximately $941,000), to be paid November 13, 2001 to shareholders of record on November 6, 2001. During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company paid cash dividends in the amount of $0.9 million, as compared to $1.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2001.

      The Company used $4.9 million in financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared to $1.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2001. The change is the net result of the Company's net $4.2 million pay down on its revolving line of credit, partially offset by the difference related to the amount of dividend payments between years.

      In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (SFAS No. 141), "Business Combinations," and issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS No. 142), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations and requires that all business combinations be accounted for as purchases. In addition, SFAS No. 141 establishes new rules concerning recognition of intangible assets arising in a purchase business combination and requires enhanced disclosure of information in the period in which a business combination is completed. SFAS No. 142 establishes new rules on accounting for goodwill whereby goodwill will no longer be amortized to expense, but rather will be subject to impairment review. SFAS No. 141 is effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, and the Company has the option of adopting SFAS No. 142 either July 1, 2001 or July 1, 2002. Net income will increase when the amortization of goodwill to expense is stopped. The Company is currently evaluating the impact to its financial statements, financial position, results of operations and cash flows related to the implementation of these two Statements. SFAS No. 142 will be adopted effective July 1, 2002, the beginning of fiscal 2003.

      In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 (SFAS No. 143), "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," and in August 2001 issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS No. 144), "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 143 establishes standards of accounting for asset retirement obligations (i.e., legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or the normal operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of lessees) and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 144 replaces existing accounting pronouncements related to impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. Both SFAS No. 143 and No. 144 are effective beginning with the Company's fiscal 2003 year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these two statements, but does not expect any significant impact on its balance sheet or financial condition when they are implemented.

      The Company continues to seek opportunities to invest in new products and markets, and in acquisitions which fit its strategic growth plans in the lighting and graphics markets. The Company believes that adequate financing for any such investments or acquisitions will be available through future borrowings or through the issuance of common or preferred shares in payment for acquired businesses.
