NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 -  INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, and 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, 2016, the results of its operations for the three month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and its cash flows for the three month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes included in the fiscal 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Financial information as of June 30, 2016 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2  -  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LSI Industries Inc. (an Ohio corporation) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), all of which are wholly owned.  All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition:

Revenue is recognized when title to goods and risk of loss have passed to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of a purchase arrangement, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, and collectability is reasonably assured.  Revenue is typically recognized at time of shipment.  In certain arrangements with customers, as is the case with the sale of some of our solid-state LED (light emitting diode) video screens, revenue is recognized upon customer acceptance of the video screen at the job site.  Sales are recorded net of estimated returns, rebates and discounts. Amounts received from customers prior to the recognition of revenue are accounted for as customer pre-payments and are included in accrued expenses.

The Company has five sources of revenue:  revenue from product sales; revenue from installation of products; service revenue generated from providing integrated design, project and construction management, site engineering and site permitting, and commissioning of lighting controls; revenue from the management of media content and digital hardware related to active digital signage; and revenue from shipping and handling.

Product revenue is recognized on product-only orders upon passing of title and risk of loss, generally at time of shipment.  However, product revenue related to orders where the customer requires the Company to install the product is recognized when the product is installed.  The Company provides product warranties and certain post-shipment service, support and maintenance of certain solid state LED video screens.

Installation revenue is recognized when the products have been fully installed.  The Company is not always responsible for installation of products it sells and has no post-installation responsibilities, other than normal warranties.

Service revenue from integrated design, project and construction management, and site permitting is recognized when all products at each customer site have been installed.

Revenue from the management of media content and digital hardware related to active digital signage is recognized evenly over the service period with the customer. Media content service periods with most customers range from one month to one year.

Shipping and handling revenue coincides with the recognition of revenue from sale of the product.

Page 7

In situations where the Company is responsible for re-imaging programs with multiple sites, each site is viewed as a separate unit of accounting and has stand-alone value to the customer. Revenue is recognized upon the Company’s complete performance at the location, which may include a site survey, graphics products, lighting products, and installation of products. The selling price assigned to each site is based upon an agreed upon price between the Company and its customer and reflects the estimated selling price for that site relative to the selling price for sites with similar image requirements.

The Company also evaluates the appropriateness of revenue recognition in accordance with the accounting standards on software revenue recognition. Our solid-state LED video screens and active digital signage contain software elements which the Company has determined are incidental.

Credit and Collections:

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts receivable for probable estimated losses resulting from either customer disputes or the inability of its customers to make required payments.  If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make the required payments, the Company may be required to record additional allowances or charges against income.  The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by first considering all known collectability problems of customers’ accounts, and then applying certain percentages against the various aging categories based on the due date of the remaining receivables.  The resulting allowance for doubtful accounts receivable is an estimate based upon the Company’s knowledge of its business and customer base, and historical trends.  Receivables deemed uncollectable are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted. The Company also establishes allowances, at the time revenue is recognized, for returns, discounts, pricing and other possible customer deductions.  These allowances are based upon historical trends.

The following table presents the Company’s net accounts receivable at the dates indicated.

(In thousands)	September 30,			June 30,
	2016			2016
Accounts receivable	$	46,527		$	47,201
Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts		(293	)		(226	)
Accounts receivable, net	$	46,234		$	46,975

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The cash balance includes cash and cash equivalents which have original maturities of less than three months. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of bank deposits and a bank money market account that is stated at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company maintains balances at financial institutions in the United States.  In the United States, the FDIC limit for insurance coverage on non-interest bearing accounts is $250,000. As of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016, the Company had bank balances of $34,816,000 and $37,883,000, respectively, without insurance coverage.

Inventories and Inventory Reserves:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost of inventories includes the cost of purchased raw materials and components, direct labor, as well as manufacturing overhead which is generally applied to inventory based on direct labor and on material content. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out basis.

The Company maintains an inventory reserve for probable obsolescence of its obsolete and excess inventory. The Company first determines its obsolete inventory reserve by considering specific known obsolete items, and then by applying certain percentages to specific inventory categories based upon inventory turns. The Company uses various tools, in addition to inventory turns, to identify which inventory items have the potential to become obsolete. Judgment is used to establish excess and obsolete inventory reserves and management adjusts these reserves as more information becomes available about the ultimate disposition of the inventory item.  

Property, Plant and Equipment and Related Depreciation:

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.  Major additions and betterments are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are expensed.  For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Buildings (in years)	28	-	40
Machinery and equipment (in years)	3	-	10
Computer software (in years)	3	-	8

Page 8

Costs related to the purchase, internal development, and implementation of the Company’s fully integrated enterprise resource planning/business operating software system are either capitalized or expensed.  Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of fifteen years or the remaining term of the lease.

The Company recorded $1,728,000 and $1,450,000 of depreciation expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Intangible Assets:

Intangible assets consisting of customer relationships, trade names and trademarks, patents, technology and software, and non-compete agreements are recorded on the Company's balance sheet.  The definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized to expense over periods ranging between seven and twenty years.  The Company evaluates definite-lived intangible assets for permanent impairment when triggering events are identified. Neither indefinite-lived intangible assets nor the excess of cost over fair value of assets acquired ("goodwill") are amortized, however they are subject to review for impairment.  See additional information about goodwill and intangibles in Note 7.

Fair Value:

The Company has financial instruments consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents, revolving lines of credit, accounts receivables, accounts payable, and on occasion, long-term debt.  The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value because of their short-term maturity and/or variable, market-driven interest rates.  The Company has no financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk.

Fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities are primarily used in goodwill and other intangible asset impairment analyses, long-lived asset impairment analysis, in the purchase price of acquired companies (if any), and in the valuation of the contingent earn-out. The accounting guidance on fair value measurement was used to measure the fair value of these nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities.

Product Warranties:

The Company offers a limited warranty that its products are free from defects in workmanship and materials.  The specific terms and conditions vary somewhat by product line, but generally cover defective products returned within one to five years, with some exceptions where the terms extend to 10 years, from the date of shipment.  The Company records warranty liabilities to cover the estimated future costs for repair or replacement of defective returned products as well as products that need to be repaired or replaced in the field after installation.  The Company calculates its liability for warranty claims by applying estimates to cover unknown claims, as well as estimating the total amount to be incurred for known warranty issues.  The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.

Changes in the Company’s warranty liabilities, which are included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, during the periods indicated below were as follows:

	Three			Three			Fiscal
	Months Ended			Months Ended			Year Ended
(In thousands)	September 30,			September 30,			June 30,
	2016			2015			2016
Balance at beginning of the period	$	5,069		$	3,408		$	3,408
Additions charged to expense		903			877			5,069
Deductions for repairs and Replacements		(624	)		(615	)		(3,408	)
Balance at end of the period	$	5,348		$	3,670		$	5,069

Page 9

Research and Development Costs:

Research and development expenses are costs directly attributable to new product development, including the development of new technology for both existing and new products, and consist of salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits, materials, outside legal costs and filing fees related to obtaining patents, supplies, depreciation and other administrative costs.   The Company expenses as research and development all costs associated with development of software used in solid-state LED products.  All costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling and administrative expenses. Research and development costs related to both product and software development totaled $1,401,000 and $1,311,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Cost of Products and Services Sold:

Cost of products sold is primarily comprised of direct materials and supplies consumed in the manufacture of products, as well as manufacturing labor, depreciation expense and direct overhead expense necessary to acquire and convert the purchased materials and supplies into finished product. Cost of products sold also includes the cost to distribute products to customers, inbound freight costs, internal transfer costs, warehousing costs and other shipping and handling activity. Cost of services sold is primarily comprised of the internal and external labor costs required to support the Company’s service revenue along with the management of media content.

Earnings Per Common Share:

The computation of basic earnings per common share is based on the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period net of treasury shares held in the Company’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan.  The computation of diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period and includes common share equivalents.  Common share equivalents include the dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock units, contingently issuable shares and common shares to be issued under a deferred compensation plan, all of which totaled 914,000 and 693,000 shares for the three month ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. See further discussion of earnings per share in Note 4.

Income Taxes:

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the accounting guidance for income taxes.  Accordingly, deferred income taxes are provided on items that are reported as either income or expense in different time periods for financial reporting purposes than they are for income tax purposes.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are reported on the Company’s balance sheet.  Significant management judgment is required in developing the Company’s income tax provision, including the estimation of taxable income and the effective income tax rates in the multiple taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates, the estimation of the liability for uncertain income tax positions, the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowances that might be required against deferred tax assets.

New Accounting Pronouncements:

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This amended guidance supersedes and replaces all existing U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance. The guidance established a new revenue recognition model, changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized, provides new and more detailed guidance on specific revenue topics, and expands and improves disclosures about revenue. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing.” In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.” Both of these standards clarify or improve guidance from ASU 2014-09. These standards are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, or the Company’s fiscal year 2019. The Company is evaluating the impact the amended guidance will have on its financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,” which eliminates the current requirement to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in the statement of financial position. This update requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent. This update is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning April 1, 2017. This update may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. However, early adoption is permitted and we have chosen to adopt the standard retrospectively as of June 30, 2016. As a result, prior periods have been adjusted to reflect this change. This update impacted the presentation, but not the measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets.

Page 10

Comprehensive Income:

The Company does not have any comprehensive income items other than net income.

Subsequent Events:

The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date the consolidated financial statements were filed.  No items were identified during this evaluation that required adjustment to or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements.

Reclassifications:

Certain prior year balance sheet amounts have been reclassified to conform to new accounting guidance on balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. These reclassifications have no impact on net income, earnings per share, or operating cash flows.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3 - SEGMENT REPORTING INFORMATION

The accounting guidance on Segment Reporting establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information of those segments to be presented in financial statements. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or “CODM”) in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s three operating segments are Lighting, Graphics, and Technology, each of which has a president who is responsible for that business and reports to the CODM. Corporate and Eliminations, which captures the Company’s corporate administrative activities, will also be reported in the segment information.

The Lighting Segment includes outdoor and indoor lighting utilizing both traditional and LED light sources that have been fabricated and assembled for the commercial, industrial market, the petroleum / convenience store market, the automotive dealership market, the quick service restaurant market, along with other markets the Company serves.

The Graphics Segment designs, manufactures and installs exterior and interior visual image elements such as traditional graphics, active digital signage along with the management of media content related to digital signage, LED video screens, and menu board systems that are either digital or traditional by design. These products are used in visual image programs in several markets, including the petroleum / convenience store market, multi-site retail operations, banking, and restaurants. The Graphics Segment implements, installs and provides program management services related to products sold by the Graphics Segment and by the Lighting Segment.

LED video screens that were previously reported in the Technology Segment in prior years’ results have been reclassified to report LED video screen sales in the Graphics Segment. The movement of the LED video screen product line was the result of a change in management responsibility of this product line to the Graphics Segment president during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. This movement aligns the product line with other digital visual image elements sold to graphics customers and is consistent with how the Company’s CODM manages the business. The movement of the video screen product line resulted in a reclassification of $73,000 of operating income from the Technology Segment to the Graphics Segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The distribution channels and corresponding projected future cash flows that support a customer relationship intangible asset related to the LED video screen product line have been deemed to be adequate to support the asset. The net book value of the asset is $505,000 as of September 30, 2016 and the cash flows generated from this asset will continue to be monitored in future quarters.

The Technology Segment designs, engineers, and manufactures electronic circuit boards, assemblies and sub-assemblies, and various control system products used in other applications (primarily the control of solid-state LED lighting). This operating segment sells its products directly to customers (primarily in the transportation, original equipment manufacturers, sports, and medical markets) and also has significant inter-segment sales to the Lighting Segment.

Page 11

The Company’s corporate administration activities are reported in a line item titled Corporate and Eliminations.  This primarily includes intercompany profit in inventory eliminations, expense related to certain corporate officers and support staff, the Company’s internal audit staff, expense related to the Company’s Board of Directors, stock option expense for options granted to corporate administration employees, certain consulting expenses, investor relations activities, and a portion of the Company’s legal, auditing and professional fee expenses. Corporate identifiable assets primarily consist of cash, invested cash (if any), refundable income taxes (if any), and deferred income tax assets.

There was no concentration of consolidated net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2016 or 2015.  There was no concentration of accounts receivable at June 30, 2016 or 2015.

NOTE 7 - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Carrying values of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed at least annually for possible impairment. The Company may first assess qualitative factors in order to determine if goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired. If through the qualitative assessment it is determined that it is more likely than not that goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are not impaired, no further testing is required. If it is determined more likely than not that goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are impaired, or if the Company elects not to first assess qualitative factors, the Company’s impairment testing continues with the estimation of the fair value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets using a combination of a market approach and an income (discounted cash flow) approach, at the reporting unit level, that requires significant management judgment with respect to revenue and expense growth rates, changes in working capital and the selection and use of an appropriate discount rate.  The estimates of fair value of reporting units are based on the best information available as of the date of the assessment.  The use of different assumptions would increase or decrease estimated discounted future operating cash flows and could increase or decrease an impairment charge.  Company management uses its judgment in assessing whether assets may have become impaired between annual impairment tests.  Indicators such as adverse business conditions, economic factors and technological change or competitive activities may signal that an asset has become impaired.

The Company identified its reporting units in conjunction with its annual goodwill impairment testing.  The Company relies upon a number of factors, judgments and estimates when conducting its impairment testing.  These include operating results, forecasts, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data, to name a few.  There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and judgments in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment.

NOTE 8  -  REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT

In March 2016, the Company renewed its $30 million unsecured revolving credit line. The line of credit expires in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Interest on the revolving line of credit is charged based upon an increment over the LIBOR 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 150 and 190 basis points depending upon the ratio of indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), as defined in the credit facility.  The fee on the unused balance of the $30 million committed line of credit is 12.5 basis points.  Under the terms of this credit facility, the Company has agreed to a negative pledge of assets and is required to comply with financial covenants that limit the amount of debt obligations, require a minimum amount of tangible net worth, and limit the ratio of indebtedness to EBITDA. As of September 30, 2016, $0.4 million of the $30 million line of credit was reserved for one letter of credit with a foreign supplier.

The Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants as of September 30, 2016.

NOTE 9 -  CASH DIVIDENDS

The Company paid cash dividends of $1,256,000 and $735,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Dividends on restricted stock units in the amount of $13,898 and $2,160 were accrued as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These dividends will be paid upon the vesting of the restricted stock units when shares are issued to the award recipients. In October 2016, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable November 15, 2016 to shareholders of record as of November 7, 2016. The indicated annual cash dividend rate is $0.20 per share.

NOTE 10 - EQUITY COMPENSATION

Stock Based Compensation 

The Company has an equity compensation plan that was approved by shareholders in November 2012 and that covers all of its full-time employees, outside directors and certain advisors.  This 2012 Stock Incentive Plan replaced all previous equity compensation plans. The options granted or stock awards made pursuant to this plan are granted at fair market value at the date of grant or award.  Service-based options granted to non-employee directors become exercisable 25% each ninety days (cumulative) from the date of grant and options granted to employees generally become exercisable 25% per year (cumulative) beginning one year after the date of grant. Performance-based options granted to employees become exercisable 33.3% per year (cumulative) beginning one year after the date of grant. The maximum contractual term of the Company’s stock options is ten years.  If a stock option holder’s employment with the Company terminates by reason of death, disability or retirement, as defined in the Plan, the Plan generally provides for acceleration of vesting.  The number of shares reserved for issuance is 911,875 shares, all of which were available for future grant or award as of September 30, 2016.  This plan allows for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted and unrestricted stock awards, performance stock awards, and other stock awards. Service based and performance based stock options were granted and restricted stock units (“RSU’s”) were awarded during the three months ended September 30, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, a total of 3,647,927 options for common shares were outstanding from this plan as well as one previous stock option plan (which has also been approved by shareholders), and of these, a total of 1,586,188 options for common shares were vested and exercisable.  As of September 30, 2016, the approximate unvested stock option expense that will be recorded as expense in future periods is $4,013,412.  The weighted average time over which this expense will be recorded is approximately 29 months. Additionally, as of September 30, 2016 a total of 118,575 restricted stock units were outstanding. The approximate unvested stock compensation expense that will be recorded as expense in future periods for the RSU’s is $691,432. The weighted average time over which this expense will be recorded is approximately 35 months.

Stock Options

The fair value of each option on the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The below listed weighted average assumptions were used for grants in the periods indicated.

	Three Months Ended
	September 30
	2016
Dividend yield		1.8	%
Expected volatility		42.9	%
Risk-free interest rate		1	%
Expected life (in years)		6.0

At September 30, 2016, the 832,500 options granted during the first three months of fiscal 2017 to employees had exercise prices ranging from $10.08 to $11.06 per share, fair values ranging from of $3.39 to $3.83 per share, and remaining contractual lives of between nine years, nine months and nine years, eleven months.

At September 30, 2015, the 942,800 options granted during the first three months of fiscal 2016 to employees had exercise prices ranging from $8.84 to $9.99 per share, fair values ranging from of $3.28 to $3.88 per share, and remaining contractual lives of between nine years, nine months and nine years, eleven months.

The Company calculates stock option expense using the Black-Scholes model.  Stock option expense is recorded on a straight line basis, or sooner if the grantee is retirement eligible as defined in the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, with an estimated 3.4% forfeiture rate effective July 1, 2016. Previous estimated forfeiture rates were between 2.0% and 3.3% between the periods January 1, 2013 through June 30, 2016. The expected volatility of the Company’s stock was calculated based upon the historic monthly fluctuation in stock price for a period approximating the expected life of option grants.  The risk-free interest rate is the rate of a five year Treasury security at constant, fixed maturity on the approximate date of the stock option grant.  The expected life of outstanding options is determined to be less than the contractual term for a period equal to the aggregate group of option holders’ estimated weighted average time within which options will be exercised.  It is the Company’s policy that when stock options are exercised, new common shares shall be issued.  

The Company recorded $1,438,443 and $1,488,753 of expense related to stock options in the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  As of September 30, 2016, the Company had 3,583,341 stock options that were vested and that were expected to vest, with a weighted average exercise price of $9.17 per share, an aggregate intrinsic value of $8,698,736 and weighted average remaining contractual terms of 7.3 years.

The Company received $173,185 and $1,328,907 of cash from employees who exercised options in the three month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In the first three months of fiscal 2017 the Company recorded $78,040 as a reduction of federal income taxes payable, $165,856 as an increase in common stock, $8,880 as a reduction of income tax expense, and $183,665 as a reduction of the deferred tax asset related to the issuance of RSU’s and the exercises of stock options in which the employees sold the common shares prior to the passage of twelve months from the date of exercise. In the first three months of fiscal 2016 the Company recorded $150,253 as a reduction of federal income taxes payable, $6,640 as an increase in common stock, $20,464 as a reduction of income tax expense, and $123,149 as a reduction of the deferred tax asset related to the exercises of stock options in which the employees sold the common shares prior to the passage of twelve months from the date of exercise.

Restricted Stock Units

A total of 71,700 restricted stock units with a fair value of $11.06 per share were awarded to employees during the three months ended September 30, 2016. A total of 72,000 restricted stock units with a fair value of $9.39 per share were awarded to employees during the three months ended September 30, 2015. The Company determined the fair value of the awards based on the closing price of the Company stock on the date the restricted stock units were awarded. The RSU’s have a four year ratable vesting period. The restricted stock units are non-voting, but accrue cash dividends at the same per share rate as those cash dividends declared and paid on LSI’s common stock. Dividends on RSU’s in the amount of $13,898 and $2,160 were accrued as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Accrued dividends are paid to the holder upon vesting of the RSU’s and issuance of shares.

The following table presents information related to restricted stock units:

	Shares			Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested at June 30, 2016		62,500		$	9.39
Awarded		71,700		$	11.06
Shares Issued		(15,625	)	$	9.39
Unvested at September 30, 2016		118,575		$	10.40

As of September 30, 2016, the 118,575 restricted stock units had a remaining contractual life of between 2 years 9 months and 3 years 9 months. Of the 118,575 RSU’s outstanding, 113,868 are vested and expected to vest in the future. An estimated forfeiture rate of 3.4% was used in the calculation of expense related to the restricted stock units. The Company recorded $302,301 of expense related to restricted stock units in the three months ended September 30, 2016.

As of September 30, 2015, the 72,000 outstanding restricted stock units had a remaining contractual life of 3 years, 9 months. Of the 72,000 RSU’s outstanding, 69,081 are expected to vest as of September 30, 2015. An estimated forfeiture rate of 3.3% was used in the calculation of expense related to the restricted stock units. The Company recorded $286,257 of expense related to restricted stock units in the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Director and Employee Stock Compensation Awards

The Company awarded a total of 9,470 and 5,260 common shares in the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, as stock compensation awards. These common shares were valued at their approximate $103,100 and $49,300 fair market values based on their stock price at dates of issuance multiplied by the number of common shares awarded, respectively, pursuant to the compensation programs for non-employee directors who receive a portion of their compensation as an award of Company stock and for employees who received a nominal recognition award in the form of company stock. Stock compensation awards are made in the form of newly issued common shares of the Company.

Deferred Compensation Plan 

The Company has a non-qualified deferred compensation plan providing for both Company contributions and participant deferrals of compensation. This plan is fully funded in a Rabbi Trust. All plan investments are in common shares of the Company. As of September 30, 2016 there were 30 participants, all with fully vested account balances. A total of 258,699 common shares with a cost of $2,469,034, and 228,103 common shares with a cost of $2,167,717 were held in the plan as of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016, respectively, and, accordingly, have been recorded as treasury shares. The change in the number of shares held by this plan is the net result of share purchases and sales on the open stock market for compensation deferred into the plan and for distributions to terminated employees. The Company does not issue new common shares for purposes of the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The Company used approximately $343,700 and $228,200 to purchase 34,587 and 24,914 common shares of the Company in the open stock market during the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for either employee salary deferrals or Company contributions into the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. For fiscal year 2017, the Company estimates the Rabbi Trust for the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan will make net repurchases in the range of 45,000 to 50,000 common shares of the Company. The Company does not currently repurchase its own common shares for any other purpose.

NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As part of the acquisition of Virticus Corporation in March 2012, a contingent earn-out liability of $877,000 was recorded based on the fair value of estimated earn-out payments. This discounted liability was to be paid over a five year period, contingent upon reaching certain sales in each year over the five year period (fiscal year 2013 through fiscal year 2017). In fiscal 2013, as a result of modified sales forecasts for LSI Virticus, the fair value of the earn-out liability was adjusted to zero. As of September 30, 2016, the maximum potential undiscounted liability related to the earn-out is $236,000, which is based upon the achievement of a defined level of sales of lighting control systems in fiscal year 2017. The likelihood of this occurring is not considered probable.

The Company is party to various negotiations, customer bankruptcies, and legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. The Company provides reserves for these matters when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. The Company does not disclose a range of potential loss because the likelihood of such a loss is remote. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.

The Company may occasionally issue a standby letter of credit in favor of third parties. As of September 30, 2016, there was a standby letter of credit totaling $0.4 million to a foreign supplier related to the purchase of inventory.

NOTE 13 – SEVERANCE COSTS

The Company recorded severance expense of $145,000 and $13,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. This severance expense was related to reductions in staffing not related to plant restructuring. See further discussion of restructuring expenses in Note 14.

NOTE 14 – RESTRUCTURING COSTS

On September 22, 2016, the Company announced plans to close its lighting facility in Kansas City, Kansas. The decision was based upon the market shift away from fluorescent and other technologies and the rapid movement to LED lighting which is produced at other LSI facilities. The Company expects to continue to meet the demand for products containing both fluorescent and high intensity discharge light sources as long as these products are commercially viable. The Company anticipates that the closure of the Kansas City facility will occur not later than December 31, 2016. Total restructuring costs related to the closure of the Kansas City facility are expected to be approximately $1.0 million. These costs primarily include employee-related costs (primarily severance), the impairment of manufacturing equipment, plant shut down expenses, expenses related to the preparation of the facility for sale, legal expenses, and other related costs. In addition, there was also an inventory write-down of $400,000 recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The write-down was related to inventory that was previously realizable until the decision in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 to shut down the Kanas City plant due to the planned curtailment of the manufacturing of fluorescent light fixtures. The Company owns the facility in Kansas City and expects to realize a gain when the facility is sold. The closure of this facility is expected to result in annual net operating profit improvement and cost savings of approximately $1.4 million before consideration of the restructuring and inventory write-down expenses. The savings as result of closure of the facility are expected to be realized starting in the third quarter of fiscal 2017.

The Company also announced the consolidation of the Beaverton, Oregon facility into other LSI facilities. The light assembly of products in the Beaverton facility was moved to the company’s Columbus, Ohio facility, and the administration and engineering functions were moved to an LSI facility in Cincinnati, Ohio. This consolidation was completed September 30, 2016. As a result of this consolidation, a restructuring charge of $365,000 was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, with the majority of this representing the costs related to the remaining period of the facility’s lease and severance costs for employees who formerly worked in the Beaverton facility. The consolidation of this facility and net reduction of employment is expected to result in annual cost savings of approximately $450,000. The savings as a result of the consolidation of this facility are expected to be realized starting in the second quarter of fiscal 2017.

Impairment charges of $273,000 were recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 related to machinery and equipment at the Kansas City and Beaverton facilities. Of the $273,000 of impairment expense, $242,000 was recorded in the Lighting Segment and $31,000 was recorded in the Technology Segment. The fair value of the equipment evaluated for impairment was determined by comparing the future undiscounted cash flows to the carrying value of the assets. The future cash flows are from the remaining use of the assets as well as the cash flows expected to result from the future sale of the assets.

NOTE 15 – INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective income tax rate is based on expected income, statutory rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates the annual income tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly income tax provision or benefit in accordance with the anticipated annual rate. The Company refines the estimates of the year's taxable income as new information becomes available, including actual year-to-date financial results. This continual estimation process often results in a change to the expected effective income tax rate for the year. When this occurs, the Company adjusts the income tax provision during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects the expected income tax rate. Significant judgment is required in determining the effective tax rate and in evaluating tax positions.

Summary Comments

Fiscal 2017 first quarter net sales of $84,159,000 decreased $1.8 million or 2.1% as compared to first quarter fiscal 2016. Net sales were favorably influenced by increased net sales of the Lighting Segment (up $1.3 million or 2.2%) and increased net sales of the Technology Segment (up $0.4 million or 8.3%). Net sales were unfavorably influenced by decreased net sales of the Graphics Segment (down $3.4 million or 15.4%).

Fiscal 2017 first quarter operating income of $1,066,000 decreased $4.7 million from operating income of $5,763,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The $4.7 million decrease was the net result of decreased net sales, decreased gross profit, an increase in selling and administrative expenses, and restructuring, plant closure costs, and related inventory write-downs of $1,056,000 in fiscal 2017 with no comparable costs in fiscal 2016.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company believes it is appropriate to evaluate its performance after making adjustments to the as-reported U.S. GAAP operating income, net income, and earnings per share. Adjusted operating income, net income and earnings per share, which exclude the impact of restructuring and plant closure costs, along with severance costs, are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that these adjusted supplemental measures are useful in assessing the operating performance of our business. These supplemental measures are used by our management, including our chief operating decision maker, to evaluate business results. We exclude these items because they are not representative of the ongoing results of operations of our business. Below is a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to operating income, net income, and earnings per share for the periods indicated.

Lighting Segment net sales of $60,370,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 increased 2.2% from fiscal 2016 same period net sales of $59,075,000. The Lighting Segment’s net sales of light fixtures having solid-state LED technology totaled $43.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, representing a $5.8 million or 15.4% increase from fiscal 2016 first quarter net sales of solid-state LED light fixtures of $37.4 million. Light fixtures having solid-state LED technology represent 71.5% of total Lighting Segment net sales in the first quarter of FY 2017 compared to 63.3% of total Lighting Segment net sales in the first quarter of FY 2016. There was a reduction in the Company’s traditional lighting sales (metal halide and fluorescent light sources) from fiscal 2016 to fiscal 2017 as customers converted from traditional lighting to light fixtures having solid-state LED technology.

Lighting Segment total net sales of solid-state LED technology in light fixtures have been recorded as indicated in the table below.

Gross profit of $14,591,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 decreased $1.1 million or 6.9% from the same period of fiscal 2016, and decreased from 26.3% to 23.9% as a percentage of Lighting Segment net sales (customer plus inter-segment net sales). The Company incurred restructuring and plant closure costs that were recorded in cost of sales related to the closure of the Kansas City, Kansas manufacturing facility of $691,000 in fiscal 2017 with no comparable costs in fiscal 2016. The remaining $0.4 million decrease in amount of gross profit is due to the net effect of increased net product sales, improved manufacturing efficiencies as a result of the Company’s lean initiatives, the rising cost of steel, competitive pricing pressures, product mix, and decreased freight costs as a percentage of net sales primarily due to initiatives to lower freight rates. Also contributing to the net change in gross profit is decreased employee compensation and wage expense ($0.3 million), increased repairs and maintenance ($0.2 million), increased outside service expense ($0.2 million), increased depreciation expense ($0.1 million), increased rent expense ($0.1 million), increased warranty expense ($0.1 million), and increased customer relations expense ($0.2 million).

Selling and administrative expenses of $11,800,000 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 increased $1.8 million or 18.1% from the same period of fiscal 2016 primarily as the result of increased employee compensation and benefits expense mainly related to investments in the Company’s sales force ($0.5 million), increased research and development expense ($0.1 million), increased commission expense ($0.6 million), and use tax recorded on current and prior year purchases as a result of a use tax audit conducted at the Company’s Blue Ash, Ohio facility ($0.2 million).

The Lighting Segment first quarter fiscal 2017 operating income of $2,791,000 decreased $2.9 million or 50.9% from operating income of $5,682,000 in the same period of fiscal 2016. This decrease of $2.9 million was primarily the net result of increased net sales, a reduction in gross profit, increased selling and administrative expenses, and restructuring, plant closure costs, and related inventory write-downs of $0.7 million with no comparable cost in fiscal 2016.

Graphics Segment net sales of $18,894,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 decreased $3.4 million or 15.4% from fiscal 2016 same period net sales of $22,330,000. The $3.4 million decrease in Graphics Segment net sales is primarily the net result of sales to the petroleum / convenience store market ($1.9 million decrease), sales to the retail grocery market ($0.4 million decrease), sales to the quick-service restaurant market ($0.2 million increase), and sales to national retail drug store market ($1.3 million decrease).

Gross profit of $4,440,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 decreased $1.1 million or 20.1% from the same period of fiscal 2016. Gross profit as a percentage of segment net sales (customer plus inter-segment net sales) decreased from 24.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 to 23.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The change in amount of gross profit is due to the net effect of decreased net product sales (customer plus inter-segment net product sales were down $2.1 million or 11.9%), a drop in installation sales (down $1.8 million or 47.1%), offset by a slight improvement in gross margin on installation sales, decreased shipping and handling cost as a percentage of shipping and handling sales, decreased supplies expense ($0.1 million), increased depreciation expense ($0.1 million), and decreased warranty expense ($0.1 million).

Selling and administrative expenses of $3,423,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 increased $0.1 million or 3.1% from the same period of fiscal 2016 primarily as a result of the net effect of decreased employee and compensation expense ($0.2 million), increased outside service expense ($0.1 million), increased supplies expense ($0.1 million), and increased travel and entertainment expense ($0.1 million).

The Graphics Segment first quarter fiscal 2017 operating income of $1,017,000 decreased $1.2 million from operating income of $2,234,000 in the same period of fiscal 2016. The decrease of $1.2 million was primarily the net result of decreased net sales, decreased gross profit and decreased gross margin as a percentage of sales, and increased selling and administrative expenses.

Technology Segment customer net sales of $4,895,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 increased 8.3% from fiscal 2016 same period net sales of $4,520,000. The $0.4 million increase in Technology Segment net sales is primarily the net result of a $0.7 million increase in sales to the transportation market, partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in net sales to various other markets. While customer net sales increased, the Technology inter-segment sales decreased $0.6 million or 6.4% and more than offset the increase in net customer sales. While the Technology Segment’s intercompany sales decreased, the support of electronic circuit boards and lighting control systems to the Lighting Segment continues to be core to the strategic growth of the Company.

Gross profit of $1,727,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 decreased $0.5 million or 20.8% from the same period in fiscal 2016, and decreased from 15.7% to 12.6% as a percentage of net sales (customer plus inter-segment net sales). The Company incurred restructuring charges of $0.3 million related to the consolidation of its Beaverton, Oregon facility into other LSI facilities, with no comparable costs in fiscal 2016. The remaining $0.2 million decrease in amount of gross profit is due to the net effect of increased customer net sales, decreased inter-segment net sales, increased supplies expense ($0.1 million), increased employee compensation and benefits expense ($0.2 million), and decreased outside service expense ($0.1 million).

Selling and administrative expenses of $966,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 increased $0.1 million or 5.8% from $913,000 in the same period in fiscal 2016. The Company incurred $33,000 in restructuring costs related to the consolidation of its Beaverton, Oregon facility into other LSI facilities, with no comparable costs in fiscal 2016. The remaining $0.1 million increase in selling and administrative expenses is the net result of decreased research and development expenses ($0.1 million), increased employee and compensation expense ($0.1 million), and several small net increases in various other expenses ($0.1 million).

The Technology Segment first quarter fiscal 2017 operating income of $728,000 decreased $0.5 million from operating income of $1,267,000 in the same period of fiscal 2016. The $0.5 million decrease in operating income was the net result of increased net customer sales, decreased inter-segment net sales, restructuring costs, decreased gross profit, and increased selling and administrative expense.

Administrative expenses of $3,547,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 increased $0.2 million or 5.5% from the same period of the prior year. In fiscal 2017, the Company incurred $0.1 million in restructuring expenses related to the consolidation of its Beaverton, Oregon facility into other LSI facilities, with no comparable costs in fiscal 2016. These restructuring expenses were primarily for severance costs for employees located in the Beaverton, Oregon facility that were previously included in corporate research and development expenses. The remaining change is primarily the net result of a decrease in employee compensation and benefit expense ($0.1 million), an increase in telephone expense ($0.1 million), a decrease in outside service expense ($0.2 million), and an increase in research and development spending ($0.1 million).

Consolidated Results

The Company reported $14,000 net interest income in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to no net interest expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. Commitment fees related to the unused portions of the Company’s lines of credit and interest income on invested cash are included in both fiscal years. In the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the interest income earned on invested cash more than offset the commitment fees paid on the Company’s unused line of credit whereas in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the same commitment fees were equally offset by interest income earned on invested cash.

The $251,000 income tax expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 represents a consolidated effective tax rate of 23.2%. This the net result of an income tax rate of 32.0% influenced by certain permanent book-tax differences, by a benefit related to uncertain income tax positions, and by a favorable adjustment to a deferred tax asset. The $2,013,000 income tax expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 represents a consolidated effective tax rate of 34.9%. This is the net result of an income tax rate of 35.6% influenced by certain permanent book-tax differences and by a benefit related to uncertain income tax positions.

The Company reported net income of $829,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 as compared to net income of $3,750,000 in the same period of the prior year. The $2,921,000 decrease in net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 as compared to fiscal 2016 is primarily the net result of decreased net sales, decreased gross profit, increased operating expenses, restructuring and plant closure costs in fiscal 2017 with no comparable costs in fiscal 2016, and lower income tax expense in fiscal 2017 compared to fiscal 2016. Diluted earnings per share of $0.03 were reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 as compared to $0.15 diluted earnings per share in the same period of fiscal 2016. The weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 were 25,912,000 shares as compared to 25,194,000 shares in the same period last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

The Company considers its level of cash on hand, borrowing capacity, 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.

Page 28

At September 30, 2016, the Company had working capital of $89.2 million, compared to $88.5 million at June 30, 2016. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 3.56 to 1 as compared to a ratio of 3.26 to 1 at June 30, 2016. The $0.7 million increase in working capital from June 30, 2016 to September 30, 2016 was primarily related to the net effect of decreased cash and cash equivalents ($3.1 million), decreased net accounts receivable ($0.7 million), decreased net inventory ($0.5 million), a decrease in accrued expenses ($4.8 million), an increase in other current assets ($0.7 million), and an increase in accounts payable ($0.4 million). The Company has a strategy of aggressively managing working capital, including reduction of the accounts receivable days sales outstanding (DSO) and reduction of inventory levels, without reducing service to its customers.

The Company generated $0.3 million of cash from operating activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 as compared to $3.0 million in the same period of the prior year. This $2.6 million decrease in net cash flows from operating activities is primarily the net result of a decrease rather than an increase in net accounts receivable (favorable change of $3.5 million), a smaller increase in accounts payable (unfavorable change of $0.1 million), a smaller increase in customer prepayments (unfavorable change of $0.2 million), a decrease rather than an increase in inventory (favorable change of $2.2 million), a larger decrease in accrued expenses and other (unfavorable change of $5.2 million), no change as compared to a decrease in refundable income taxes (unfavorable change of $0.1 million), a greater increase in net deferred tax assets (unfavorable change of $0.4 million), an increase in depreciation and amortization expense (favorable change of $0.3 million), a fixed asset impairment with no comparable event in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 (favorable change of $0.3 million) and a decrease in net income (unfavorable change of $2.9 million).

Net accounts receivable were $46.2 million and $47.0 million at September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016, respectively. DSO remained constant at September 30, 2016 compared to June 30, 2016 at 47 days. The Company believes that its receivables are ultimately collectible or recoverable, net of certain reserves, and that aggregate allowances for doubtful accounts are adequate. 

Net inventories of $43.6 million at September 30, 2016 decreased $0.5 million from $44.1 million at June 30, 2016. The decrease of $0.5 million is the result of a decrease in gross inventory of $0.2 million and an increase in obsolescence reserves of $0.4 million. Based on a strategy of balancing inventory reductions with customer service and the timing of shipments, net inventory increases occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 in the Graphics Segment of approximately $0.5 million and in the Technology Segment of approximately $0.4 million. There was a decrease in net inventory in the Lighting Segment of $1.6 million.

Cash generated from operations and borrowing capacity under the Company’s line of credit facility is the Company’s primary source of liquidity. The Company has an unsecured $30 million revolving line of credit with its bank. This line of credit is a $30 million three year committed credit facility expiring in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. As of October 24, 2016, $0.4 million of the $30 million line of credit has been reserved for a standby line of credit with a foreign supplier. The Company believes that its $30 million line of credit plus cash flows from operating activities are adequate for the Company’s fiscal 2017 operational and capital expenditure needs. The Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants.

The Company used cash of $2.0 million related to investing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 as compared to a use of $1.4 million in the same period of the prior year, resulting in an unfavorable change of $0.6 million. Capital expenditures for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 increased $0.6 million to $2.0 million from the same period in fiscal 2016. The largest components of the fiscal 2017 capital expenditures are equipment and building improvements related to the Company’s Lighting and Graphics Segments and computer hardware related to Corporate Administration.

The Company used $1.5 million of cash related to financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to a source of cash of $0.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The $1.9 million unfavorable change in cash flow was the net result of an increase in dividends paid to shareholders (unfavorable change of $0.5 million), a decrease in the exercise of stock options in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 (unfavorable change of $1.3 million), and an increase in the purchase of treasury shares (unfavorable change of $0.1 million).

The Company has, or could have, on its balance sheet financial instruments consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, revolving lines of credit, and long-term debt. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value because of their short-term maturity and/or variable, market-driven interest rates.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk and has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Cash Dividends

In October 2016, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable November 15, 2016 to shareholders of record as of November 7, 2016. The indicated annual cash dividend rate for fiscal 2017 is $0.20 per share. The Board of Directors has adopted a policy regarding dividends which indicates that dividends will be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion based upon its evaluation of earnings, cash flow requirements, financial condition, debt levels, stock repurchases, future business developments and opportunities, and other factors deemed relevant.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company is required to make estimates and judgments in the preparation of its financial statements that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related footnote disclosures.  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.  The Company continually reviews these estimates and their underlying assumptions to ensure they remain appropriate.  The Company believes the items discussed below are among its most significant accounting policies because they utilize estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and therefore are based on management’s judgment.  Significant changes in the estimates or assumptions related to any of the following critical accounting policies could possibly have a material impact on the financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when title to goods and risk of loss have passed to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of a purchase arrangement, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, and collectability is reasonably assured.  Revenue is typically recognized at time of shipment.  In certain arrangements with customers, as is the case with the sale of some of our solid-state LED video screens, revenue is recognized upon customer acceptance of the video screen at the job site.  Sales are recorded net of estimated returns, rebates and discounts.  Amounts received from customers prior to the recognition of revenue are accounted for as customer pre-payments and are included in accrued expenses.

The Company has five sources of revenue:  revenue from product sales; revenue from installation of products; service revenue generated from providing integrated design, project and construction management, site engineering and site permitting, and commissioning of lighting controls; revenue from the management of media content and digital hardware related to active digital signage; and revenue from shipping and handling.

Product revenue is recognized on product-only orders upon passing of title and risk of loss, generally at time of shipment.  However, product revenue related to orders where the customer requires the Company to install the product is recognized when the product is installed.  The company provides product warranties and certain post-shipment service, support and maintenance of certain solid state LED video screens and billboards.

Installation revenue is recognized when the products have been fully installed.  The Company is not always responsible for installation of products it sells and has no post-installation responsibilities, other than normal warranties.

Service revenue from integrated design, project and construction management, and site permitting is recognized when all products at each customer site have been installed.

Revenue from the management of media content and digital hardware related to active digital signage is recognized evenly over the service period with the customer. Media content service periods with most customers range from 1 month to 1 year.

Shipping and handling revenue coincides with the recognition of revenue from the sale of the product.

In situations where the Company is responsible for re-imaging programs with multiple sites, each site is viewed as a separate unit of accounting and has stand-alone value to the customer. Revenue is recognized upon the Company’s complete performance at the location, which may include a site survey, graphics products, lighting products, and installation of products. The selling price assigned to each site is based upon an agreed upon price between the Company and its customer and reflects the estimated selling price for that site relative to the selling price for sites with similar image requirements.

The Company also evaluates the appropriateness of revenue recognition in accordance with the accounting standard on software revenue recognition. Our solid-state LED video screens, billboards and active digital signage contain software elements which the Company has determined are incidental.

Income Taxes

 The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the accounting guidance for income taxes. Accordingly, deferred income taxes are provided on items that are reported as either income or expense in different time periods for financial reporting purposes than they are for income tax purposes.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are reported on the Company’s balance sheet.  Significant management judgment is required in developing the Company’s income tax provision, including the estimation of taxable income and the effective income tax rates in the multiple taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates, the estimation of the liability for uncertain income tax positions, the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowances that might be required against deferred tax assets. The Company has adopted ASU 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes.” As a result of early adoption of this accounting guidance, prior periods have been adjusted, which only impacted the financial statement presentation and not the measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets.

The Company operates in multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions.  The Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities routinely review the Company’s tax returns.  These audits can involve complex issues which may require an extended period of time to resolve.  In management’s opinion, adequate provision has been made for potential adjustments arising from these examinations.

The Company is recording estimated interest and penalties related to potential underpayment of income taxes as a component of tax expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.  The reserve for uncertain tax positions is not expected to change significantly in the next twelve months.

Asset Impairment

Carrying values of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed at least annually for possible impairment in accordance with the accounting standard on goodwill and intangible assets. The Company may first assess qualitative factors in order to determine if goodwill is impaired. If through the qualitative assessment it is determined that it is more likely than not that goodwill is not impaired, no further testing is required. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, or if the Company elects not to first assess qualitative factors, the Company’s impairment testing continues with the estimation of the fair value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets using a combination of a market approach and an income (discounted cash flow) approach that requires significant management judgment with respect to revenue and expense growth rates, changes in working capital and the selection and use of an appropriate discount rate.  The estimates of fair value of reporting units are based on the best information available as of the date of the assessment.  The use of different assumptions would increase or decrease estimated discounted future operating cash flows and could increase or decrease an impairment charge.  Company management uses its judgment in assessing whether assets may have become impaired between annual impairment tests.  Indicators such as adverse business conditions, economic factors and technological change or competitive activities may signal that an asset has become impaired.  

Carrying values for long-lived tangible assets and definite-lived intangible assets, excluding goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for possible impairment as circumstances warrant. Impairment reviews are conducted at the judgment of Company management when it believes that a change in circumstances in the business or external factors warrants a review.  Circumstances such as the discontinuation of a product or product line, a sudden or consistent decline in the forecast for a product, changes in technology or in the way an asset is being used, a history of negative operating cash flow, or an adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, among others, may trigger an impairment review.  The Company’s initial impairment review to determine if a potential impairment charge is required is based on an undiscounted cash flow analysis at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist.  The analysis requires judgment with respect to changes in technology, the continued success of product lines and future volume, revenue and expense growth rates, and discount rates.

Credit and Collections

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts receivable for probable estimated losses resulting from either customer disputes or the inability of its customers to make required payments.  If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make the required payments, the Company may be required to record additional allowances or charges against income.  The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by first considering all known collectability problems of customers’ accounts, and then applying certain percentages against the various aging categories based on the due date of the remaining receivables.  The resulting allowance for doubtful accounts receivable is an estimate based upon the Company’s knowledge of its business and customer base, and historical trends.  The amount ultimately not collected may differ from the reserve established, particularly in the case where percentages are applied against aging categories.  In all cases, it is management’s goal to carry a reserve against the Company’s accounts receivable which is adequate based upon the information available at that time so that net accounts receivable is properly stated. The Company also establishes allowances, at the time revenue is recognized, for returns and allowances, discounts, pricing and other possible customer deductions.  These allowances are based upon historical trends.

Page 31

Warranty Reserves

The Company maintains a warranty reserve which is reflective of its limited warranty policy. The warranty reserve covers the estimated future costs to repair or replace defective product or installation services, whether the product is returned, scrapped or repaired in the field. The warranty reserve is first determined based upon known claims or issues, and then by the application of a specific percentage of sales to cover general claims. The percentage applied to sales to calculate general claims is based upon historical claims as a percentage of sales. Management addresses the adequacy of its warranty reserves on a quarterly basis to ensure the reserve is accurate based upon the most current information.

Inventory Reserves

The Company maintains an inventory reserve for probable obsolete and excess inventory. The Company first determines its obsolete inventory reserve by considering specific known obsolete items, and then by applying certain percentages to specific inventory categories based upon inventory turns. The Company uses various tools, in addition to inventory turns, to identify which inventory items have the potential to become obsolete. Judgment is used to establish excess and obsolete inventory reserves and management adjusts these reserves as more information becomes available about the ultimate disposition of the inventory item.  Management values inventory at lower of cost or market.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This amended guidance supersedes and replaces all existing U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance. The guidance established a new revenue recognition model, changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized, provides new and more detailed guidance on specific revenue topics, and expands and improves disclosures about revenue. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing.” In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.” Both of these standards clarify or improve guidance from ASU 2014-09. These standards are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, or the Company’s fiscal year 2019. The Company is evaluating the impact the amended guidance will have on its financial statements.   

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” The amended guidance requires an entity to measure in scope inventory at lower of cost and net realizable value. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, or the Company’s fiscal year 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact the amended guidance will have on its financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,” which eliminates the current requirement to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in the statement of financial position. This update requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent. This update is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning April 1, 2017. This update may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. However, early adoption is permitted and we have chosen to adopt the standard retrospectively as of June 30, 2016. As a result, prior periods have been adjusted to reflect this change. This update impacted the presentation, but not the measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases.” The amended guidance requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities that arise from leases. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, or the Company’s fiscal year 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impact the amended guidance will have on its financial statements.  

Page 32

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-08, “Principal versus Agent Considerations.” The amendment is intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, or the Company’s fiscal year 2019, with early adoption permitted in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company has not yet determined the impact the amended guidance will have on its financial statements.

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” This amended guidance simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, or the Company’s fiscal year 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impact the amended guidance will have on its financial statements. 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This amendment provides additional guidance on the measurement of expected credit losses for financial assets based on historical experience, current conditions, and supportable forecasts. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019, or the Company’s fiscal year 2021. The Company is evaluating the impact of the amended guidance and the anticipated impact to the financial statements is not material.

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” which provides cash flow classification guidance for certain cash receipts and cash payments. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, or the Company’s fiscal year 2019. The Company is evaluating the impact the amended guidance will have on its financial statements.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in the Company’s exposure to market risk since June 30, 2016.  Additional information can be found in Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, which appears on page 13 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.

 ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We conducted, under the supervision of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are fairly presented in all material respects in accordance with GAAP for interim financial statements, and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have certified that, based on their knowledge, the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for each of the periods presented in this report.

Control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that control objectives are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company will be detected. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by individuals, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override. Over time, controls can become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance may deteriorate. Further, the design of any system of controls is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in any cost-effective control system, misstatements due to errors or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Page 33

Changes in Internal Control

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2016, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, except as otherwise described in this Item 4.

Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

NOTE 2  -  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LSI Industries Inc. (an Ohio corporation) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), all of which are wholly owned.  All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition:

Revenue is recognized when title to goods and risk of loss have passed to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of a purchase arrangement, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, and collectability is reasonably assured.  Revenue is typically recognized at time of shipment.  In certain arrangements with customers, as is the case with the sale of some of our solid-state LED (light emitting diode) video screens, revenue is recognized upon customer acceptance of the video screen at the job site.  Sales are recorded net of estimated returns, rebates and discounts. Amounts received from customers prior to the recognition of revenue are accounted for as customer pre-payments and are included in accrued expenses.

The Company has five sources of revenue:  revenue from product sales; revenue from installation of products; service revenue generated from providing integrated design, project and construction management, site engineering and site permitting, and commissioning of lighting controls; revenue from the management of media content and digital hardware related to active digital signage; and revenue from shipping and handling.

Product revenue is recognized on product-only orders upon passing of title and risk of loss, generally at time of shipment.  However, product revenue related to orders where the customer requires the Company to install the product is recognized when the product is installed.  The Company provides product warranties and certain post-shipment service, support and maintenance of certain solid state LED video screens.

Installation revenue is recognized when the products have been fully installed.  The Company is not always responsible for installation of products it sells and has no post-installation responsibilities, other than normal warranties.

Service revenue from integrated design, project and construction management, and site permitting is recognized when all products at each customer site have been installed.

Revenue from the management of media content and digital hardware related to active digital signage is recognized evenly over the service period with the customer. Media content service periods with most customers range from one month to one year.

Shipping and handling revenue coincides with the recognition of revenue from sale of the product.

In situations where the Company is responsible for re-imaging programs with multiple sites, each site is viewed as a separate unit of accounting and has stand-alone value to the customer. Revenue is recognized upon the Company’s complete performance at the location, which may include a site survey, graphics products, lighting products, and installation of products. The selling price assigned to each site is based upon an agreed upon price between the Company and its customer and reflects the estimated selling price for that site relative to the selling price for sites with similar image requirements.

The Company also evaluates the appropriateness of revenue recognition in accordance with the accounting standards on software revenue recognition. Our solid-state LED video screens and active digital signage contain software elements which the Company has determined are incidental.

Credit and Collections:

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts receivable for probable estimated losses resulting from either customer disputes or the inability of its customers to make required payments.  If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make the required payments, the Company may be required to record additional allowances or charges against income.  The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by first considering all known collectability problems of customers’ accounts, and then applying certain percentages against the various aging categories based on the due date of the remaining receivables.  The resulting allowance for doubtful accounts receivable is an estimate based upon the Company’s knowledge of its business and customer base, and historical trends.  Receivables deemed uncollectable are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted. The Company also establishes allowances, at the time revenue is recognized, for returns, discounts, pricing and other possible customer deductions.  These allowances are based upon historical trends.

The following table presents the Company’s net accounts receivable at the dates indicated.

(In thousands)	September 30,			June 30,
	2016			2016
Accounts receivable	$	46,527		$	47,201
Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts		(293	)		(226	)
Accounts receivable, net	$	46,234		$	46,975

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The cash balance includes cash and cash equivalents which have original maturities of less than three months. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of bank deposits and a bank money market account that is stated at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company maintains balances at financial institutions in the United States.  In the United States, the FDIC limit for insurance coverage on non-interest bearing accounts is $250,000.

As of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016, the Company had bank balances of $34,816,000 and $37,883,000, respectively, without insurance coverage.

Inventories and Inventory Reserves:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost of inventories includes the cost of purchased raw materials and components, direct labor, as well as manufacturing overhead which is generally applied to inventory based on direct labor and on material content. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out basis.

The Company maintains an inventory reserve for probable obsolescence of its obsolete and excess inventory. The Company first determines its obsolete inventory reserve by considering specific known obsolete items, and then by applying certain percentages to specific inventory categories based upon inventory turns. The Company uses various tools, in addition to inventory turns, to identify which inventory items have the potential to become obsolete. Judgment is used to establish excess and obsolete inventory reserves and management adjusts these reserves as more information becomes available about the ultimate disposition of the inventory item.  

Property, Plant and Equipment and Related Depreciation:

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.  Major additions and betterments are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are expensed.  For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Buildings (in years)	28	-	40
Machinery and equipment (in years)	3	-	10
Computer software (in years)	3	-	8

Costs related to the purchase, internal development, and implementation of the Company’s fully integrated enterprise resource planning/business operating software system are either capitalized or expensed.  Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of fifteen years or the remaining term of the lease.

The Company recorded $1,728,000 and $1,450,000 of depreciation expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Intangible Assets:

Intangible assets consisting of customer relationships, trade names and trademarks, patents, technology and software, and non-compete agreements are recorded on the Company's balance sheet.  The definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized to expense over periods ranging between seven and twenty years.  The Company evaluates definite-lived intangible assets for permanent impairment when triggering events are identified. Neither indefinite-lived intangible assets nor the excess of cost over fair value of assets acquired ("goodwill") are amortized, however they are subject to review for impairment.  See additional information about goodwill and intangibles in Note 7.

Fair Value:

The Company has financial instruments consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents, revolving lines of credit, accounts receivables, accounts payable, and on occasion, long-term debt.  The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value because of their short-term maturity and/or variable, market-driven interest rates.  The Company has no financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk.

Fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities are primarily used in goodwill and other intangible asset impairment analyses, long-lived asset impairment analysis, in the purchase price of acquired companies (if any), and in the valuation of the contingent earn-out. The accounting guidance on fair value measurement was used to measure the fair value of these nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities.

Product Warranties:

The Company offers a limited warranty that its products are free from defects in workmanship and materials.  The specific terms and conditions vary somewhat by product line, but generally cover defective products returned within one to five years, with some exceptions where the terms extend to 10 years, from the date of shipment.  The Company records warranty liabilities to cover the estimated future costs for repair or replacement of defective returned products as well as products that need to be repaired or replaced in the field after installation.  The Company calculates its liability for warranty claims by applying estimates to cover unknown claims, as well as estimating the total amount to be incurred for known warranty issues.  The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.

Changes in the Company’s warranty liabilities, which are included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, during the periods indicated below were as follows:

	Three			Three			Fiscal
	Months Ended			Months Ended			Year Ended
(In thousands)	September 30,			September 30,			June 30,
	2016			2015			2016

Additions charged to expense		903			877			5,069
Deductions for repairs and Replacements		(624	)		(615	)		(3,408	)
Balance at end of the period	$	5,348		$	3,670		$	5,069

Research and Development Costs:

Research and development expenses are costs directly attributable to new product development, including the development of new technology for both existing and new products, and consist of salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits, materials, outside legal costs and filing fees related to obtaining patents, supplies, depreciation and other administrative costs.   The Company expenses as research and development all costs associated with development of software used in solid-state LED products.  All costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling and administrative expenses. Research and development costs related to both product and software development totaled $1,401,000 and $1,311,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Cost of Products and Services Sold:

Cost of products sold is primarily comprised of direct materials and supplies consumed in the manufacture of products, as well as manufacturing labor, depreciation expense and direct overhead expense necessary to acquire and convert the purchased materials and supplies into finished product. Cost of products sold also includes the cost to distribute products to customers, inbound freight costs, internal transfer costs, warehousing costs and other shipping and handling activity. Cost of services sold is primarily comprised of the internal and external labor costs required to support the Company’s service revenue along with the management of media content.

Earnings Per Common Share:

The computation of basic earnings per common share is based on the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period net of treasury shares held in the Company’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan.  The computation of diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period and includes common share equivalents.  Common share equivalents include the dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock units, contingently issuable shares and common shares to be issued under a deferred compensation plan, all of which totaled 914,000 and 693,000 shares for the three month ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. See further discussion of earnings per share in Note 4.

Income Taxes:

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the accounting guidance for income taxes.  Accordingly, deferred income taxes are provided on items that are reported as either income or expense in different time periods for financial reporting purposes than they are for income tax purposes.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are reported on the Company’s balance sheet.  Significant management judgment is required in developing the Company’s income tax provision, including the estimation of taxable income and the effective income tax rates in the multiple taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates, the estimation of the liability for uncertain income tax positions, the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowances that might be required against deferred tax assets.

New Accounting Pronouncements:

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This amended guidance supersedes and replaces all existing U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance. The guidance established a new revenue recognition model, changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized, provides new and more detailed guidance on specific revenue topics, and expands and improves disclosures about revenue. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing.” In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.” Both of these standards clarify or improve guidance from ASU 2014-09. These standards are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, or the Company’s fiscal year 2019. The Company is evaluating the impact the amended guidance will have on its financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,” which eliminates the current requirement to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in the statement of financial position. This update requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent. This update is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning April 1, 2017. This update may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. However, early adoption is permitted and we have chosen to adopt the standard retrospectively as of June 30, 2016. As a result, prior periods have been adjusted to reflect this change. This update impacted the presentation, but not the measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets.

Comprehensive Income:

The Company does not have any comprehensive income items other than net income.

Subsequent Events:

The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date the consolidated financial statements were filed.  No items were identified during this evaluation that required adjustment to or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements.

Reclassifications:

Certain prior year balance sheet amounts have been reclassified to conform to new accounting guidance on balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. These reclassifications have no impact on net income, earnings per share, or operating cash flows.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3 -

SEGMENT

REPORTING

INFORMATION

The accounting guidance on Segment Reporting establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information of those segments to be presented in financial statements. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or “CODM”) in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s three operating segments are Lighting, Graphics, and Technology, each of which has a president who is responsible for that business and reports to the CODM. Corporate and Eliminations, which captures the Company’s corporate administrative activities, will also be reported in the segment information.

The Lighting Segment includes outdoor and indoor lighting utilizing both traditional and LED light sources that have been fabricated and assembled for the commercial, industrial market, the petroleum / convenience store market, the automotive dealership market, the quick service restaurant market, along with other markets the Company serves.

The Graphics Segment designs, manufactures and installs exterior and interior visual image elements such as traditional graphics, active digital signage along with the management of media content related to digital signage, LED video screens, and menu board systems that are either digital or traditional by design. These products are used in visual image programs in several markets, including the petroleum / convenience store market, multi-site retail operations, banking, and restaurants. The Graphics Segment implements, installs and provides program management services related to products sold by the Graphics Segment and by the Lighting Segment.

LED video screens that were previously reported in the Technology Segment in prior years’ results have been reclassified to report LED video screen sales in the Graphics Segment. The movement of the LED video screen product line was the result of a change in management responsibility of this product line to the Graphics Segment president during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. This movement aligns the product line with other digital visual image elements sold to graphics customers and is consistent with how the Company’s CODM manages the business. The movement of the video screen product line resulted in a reclassification of $73,000 of operating income from the Technology Segment to the Graphics Segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2016.

The distribution channels and corresponding projected future cash flows that support a customer relationship intangible asset related to the LED video screen product line have been deemed to be adequate to support the asset. The net book value of the asset is $505,000 as of September 30, 2016 and the cash flows generated from this asset will continue to be monitored in future quarters.

The Technology Segment designs, engineers, and manufactures electronic circuit boards, assemblies and sub-assemblies, and various control system products used in other applications (primarily the control of solid-state LED lighting). This operating segment sells its products directly to customers (primarily in the transportation, original equipment manufacturers, sports, and medical markets) and also has significant inter-segment sales to the Lighting Segment.

The Company’s corporate administration activities are reported in a line item titled Corporate and Eliminations.  This primarily includes intercompany profit in inventory eliminations, expense related to certain corporate officers and support staff, the Company’s internal audit staff, expense related to the Company’s Board of Directors, stock option expense for options granted to corporate administration employees, certain consulting expenses, investor relations activities, and a portion of the Company’s legal, auditing and professional fee expenses. Corporate identifiable assets primarily consist of cash, invested cash (if any), refundable income taxes (if any), and deferred income tax assets.

There was no concentration of consolidated net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2016 or 2015.  There was no concentration of accounts receivable at June 30, 2016 or 2015.

Summarized financial information for the Company’s operating segments is provided for the indicated periods and as of September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015:

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block]

NOTE 7 - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Carrying values of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed at least annually for possible impairment. The Company may first assess qualitative factors in order to determine if goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired. If through the qualitative assessment it is determined that it is more likely than not that goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are not impaired, no further testing is required. If it is determined more likely than not that goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are impaired, or if the Company elects not to first assess qualitative factors, the Company’s impairment testing continues with the estimation of the fair value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets using a combination of a market approach and an income (discounted cash flow) approach, at the reporting unit level, that requires significant management judgment with respect to revenue and expense growth rates, changes in working capital and the selection and use of an appropriate discount rate.  The estimates of fair value of reporting units are based on the best information available as of the date of the assessment.  The use of different assumptions would increase or decrease estimated discounted future operating cash flows and could increase or decrease an impairment charge.  Company management uses its judgment in assessing whether assets may have become impaired between annual impairment tests.  Indicators such as adverse business conditions, economic factors and technological change or competitive activities may signal that an asset has become impaired.

The Company identified its reporting units in conjunction with its annual goodwill impairment testing.  The Company relies upon a number of factors, judgments and estimates when conducting its impairment testing.  These include operating results, forecasts, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data, to name a few.  There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and judgments in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment.

The following table presents information about the Company's goodwill on the dates or for the periods indicated:

NOTE 8  -  REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT

In March 2016, the Company renewed its $30 million unsecured revolving credit line. The line of credit expires in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Interest on the revolving line of credit is charged based upon an increment over the LIBOR 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 150 and 190 basis points depending upon the ratio of indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), as defined in the credit facility.  The fee on the unused balance of the $30 million committed line of credit is 12.5 basis points.  Under the terms of this credit facility, the Company has agreed to a negative pledge of assets and is required to comply with financial covenants that limit the amount of debt obligations, require a minimum amount of tangible net worth, and limit the ratio of indebtedness to EBITDA. As of September 30, 2016, $0.4 million of the $30 million line of credit was reserved for one letter of credit with a foreign supplier.

The Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants as of September 30, 2016

EQUITY COMPENSATION

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company has an equity compensation plan that was approved by shareholders in November 2012 and that covers all of its full-time employees, outside directors and certain advisors.  This 2012 Stock Incentive Plan replaced all previous equity compensation plans. The options granted or stock awards made pursuant to this plan are granted at fair market value at the date of grant or award.  Service-based options granted to non-employee directors become exercisable 25% each ninety days (cumulative) from the date of grant and options granted to employees generally become exercisable 25% per year (cumulative) beginning one year after the date of grant. Performance-based options granted to employees become exercisable 33.3% per year (cumulative) beginning one year after the date of grant. The maximum contractual term of the Company’s stock options is ten years.  If a stock option holder’s employment with the Company terminates by reason of death, disability or retirement, as defined in the Plan, the Plan generally provides for acceleration of vesting.  The number of shares reserved for issuance is 911,875 shares, all of which were available for future grant or award as of September 30, 2016.  This plan allows for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted and unrestricted stock awards, performance stock awards, and other stock awards. Service based and performance based stock options were granted and restricted stock units (“RSU’s”) were awarded during the three months ended September 30, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, a total of 3,647,927 options for common shares were outstanding from this plan as well as one previous stock option plan (which has also been approved by shareholders), and of these, a total of 1,586,188 options for common shares were vested and exercisable.  As of September 30, 2016, the approximate unvested stock option expense that will be recorded as expense in future periods is $4,013,412.  The weighted average time over which this expense will be recorded is approximately 29 months. Additionally, as of September 30, 2016 a total of 118,575 restricted stock units were outstanding. The approximate unvested stock compensation expense that will be recorded as expense in future periods for the RSU’s is $691,432. The weighted average time over which this expense will be recorded is approximately 35 months.

Stock Options

The fair value of each option on the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The below listed weighted average assumptions were used for grants in the periods indicated.

	Three Months Ended
	September 30
	2016
Dividend yield		1.8	%
Expected volatility		42.9	%
Risk-free interest rate		1	%
Expected life (in years)		6.0

At September 30, 2016, the 832,500 options granted during the first three months of fiscal 2017 to employees had exercise prices ranging from $10.08 to $11.06 per share, fair values ranging from of $3.39 to $3.83 per share, and remaining contractual lives of between nine years, nine months and nine years, eleven months.

At September 30, 2015, the 942,800 options granted during the first three months of fiscal 2016 to employees had exercise prices ranging from $8.84 to $9.99 per share, fair values ranging from of $3.28 to $3.88 per share, and remaining contractual lives of between nine years, nine months and nine years, eleven months.

The Company calculates stock option expense using the Black-Scholes model.  Stock option expense is recorded on a straight line basis, or sooner if the grantee is retirement eligible as defined in the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, with an estimated 3.4% forfeiture rate effective July 1, 2016. Previous estimated forfeiture rates were between 2.0% and 3.3% between the periods January 1, 2013 through June 30, 2016. The expected volatility of the Company’s stock was calculated based upon the historic monthly fluctuation in stock price for a period approximating the expected life of option grants.  The risk-free interest rate is the rate of a five year Treasury security at constant, fixed maturity on the approximate date of the stock option grant.  The expected life of outstanding options is determined to be less than the contractual term for a period equal to the aggregate group of option holders’ estimated weighted average time within which options will be exercised.  It is the Company’s policy that when stock options are exercised, new common shares shall be issued.  

The Company recorded $1,438,443 and $1,488,753 of expense related to stock options in the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  As of September 30, 2016, the Company had 3,583,341 stock options that were vested and that were expected to vest, with a weighted average exercise price of $9.17 per share, an aggregate intrinsic value of $8,698,736 and weighted average remaining contractual terms of 7.3 years.

The Company received $173,185 and $1,328,907 of cash from employees who exercised options in the three month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In the first three months of fiscal 2017 the Company recorded $78,040 as a reduction of federal income taxes payable, $165,856 as an increase in common stock, $8,880 as a reduction of income tax expense, and $183,665 as a reduction of the deferred tax asset related to the issuance of RSU’s and the exercises of stock options in which the employees sold the common shares prior to the passage of twelve months from the date of exercise. In the first three months of fiscal 2016 the Company recorded $150,253 as a reduction of federal income taxes payable, $6,640 as an increase in common stock, $20,464 as a reduction of income tax expense, and $123,149 as a reduction of the deferred tax asset related to the exercises of stock options in which the employees sold the common shares prior to the passage of twelve months from the date of exercise.

Restricted Stock Units

A total of 71,700 restricted stock units with a fair value of $11.06 per share were awarded to employees during the three months ended September 30, 2016. A total of 72,000 restricted stock units with a fair value of $9.39 per share were awarded to employees during the three months ended September 30, 2015. The Company determined the fair value of the awards based on the closing price of the Company stock on the date the restricted stock units were awarded. The RSU’s have a four year ratable vesting period. The restricted stock units are non-voting, but accrue cash dividends at the same per share rate as those cash dividends declared and paid on LSI’s common stock. Dividends on RSU’s in the amount of $13,898 and $2,160 were accrued as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Accrued dividends are paid to the holder upon vesting of the RSU’s and issuance of shares.

The following table presents information related to restricted stock units:

	Shares			Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested at June 30, 2016		62,500		$	9.39
Awarded		71,700		$	11.06
Shares Issued		(15,625	)	$	9.39
Unvested at September 30, 2016		118,575		$	10.40

As of September 30, 2016, the 118,575 restricted stock units had a remaining contractual life of between 2 years 9 months and 3 years 9 months. Of the 118,575 RSU’s outstanding, 113,868 are vested and expected to vest in the future. An estimated forfeiture rate of 3.4% was used in the calculation of expense related to the restricted stock units. The Company recorded $302,301 of expense related to restricted stock units in the three months ended September 30, 2016.

As of September 30, 2015, the 72,000 outstanding restricted stock units had a remaining contractual life of 3 years, 9 months. Of the 72,000 RSU’s outstanding, 69,081 are expected to vest as of September 30, 2015. An estimated forfeiture rate of 3.3% was used in the calculation of expense related to the restricted stock units. The Company recorded $286,257 of expense related to restricted stock units in the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Director and Employee Stock Compensation Awards

The Company awarded a total of 9,470 and 5,260 common shares in the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, as stock compensation awards. These common shares were valued at their approximate $103,100 and $49,300 fair market values based on their stock price at dates of issuance multiplied by the number of common shares awarded, respectively, pursuant to the compensation programs for non-employee directors who receive a portion of their compensation as an award of Company stock and for employees who received a nominal recognition award in the form of company stock. Stock compensation awards are made in the form of newly issued common shares of the Company.

Deferred Compensation Plan

 

The Company has a non-qualified deferred compensation plan providing for both Company contributions and participant deferrals of compensation. This plan is fully funded in a Rabbi Trust. All plan investments are in common shares of the Company. As of September 30, 2016 there were 30 participants, all with fully vested account balances. A total of 258,699 common shares with a cost of $2,469,034, and 228,103 common shares with a cost of $2,167,717 were held in the plan as of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016, respectively, and, accordingly, have been recorded as treasury shares. The change in the number of shares held by this plan is the net result of share purchases and sales on the open stock market for compensation deferred into the plan and for distributions to terminated employees. The Company does not issue new common shares for purposes of the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The Company used approximately $343,700 and $228,200 to purchase 34,587 and 24,914 common shares of the Company in the open stock market during the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for either employee salary deferrals or Company contributions into the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. For fiscal year 2017, the Company estimates the Rabbi Trust for the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan will make net repurchases in the range of 45,000 to 50,000 common shares of the Company. The Company does not currently repurchase its own common shares for any other purpose.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As part of the acquisition of Virticus Corporation in March 2012, a contingent earn-out liability of $877,000 was recorded based on the fair value of estimated earn-out payments. This discounted liability was to be paid over a five year period, contingent upon reaching certain sales in each year over the five year period (fiscal year 2013 through fiscal year 2017). In fiscal 2013, as a result of modified sales forecasts for LSI Virticus, the fair value of the earn-out liability was adjusted to zero. As of September 30, 2016, the maximum potential undiscounted liability related to the earn-out is $236,000, which is based upon the achievement of a defined level of sales of lighting control systems in fiscal year 2017. The likelihood of this occurring is not considered probable.

The Company is party to various negotiations, customer bankruptcies, and legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. The Company provides reserves for these matters when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. The Company does not disclose a range of potential loss because the likelihood of such a loss is remote. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.

The Company may occasionally issue a standby letter of credit in favor of third parties. As of September 30, 2016, there was a standby letter of credit totaling $0.4 million to a foreign supplier related to the purchase of inventory.

4 – RESTRUCTURING COSTS

On September 22, 2016, the Company announced plans to close its lighting facility in Kansas City, Kansas. The decision was based upon the market shift away from fluorescent and other technologies and the rapid movement to LED lighting which is produced at other LSI facilities. The Company expects to continue to meet the demand for products containing both fluorescent and high intensity discharge light sources as long as these products are commercially viable. The Company anticipates that the closure of the Kansas City facility will occur not later than December 31, 2016. Total restructuring costs related to the closure of the Kansas City facility are expected to be approximately $1.0 million. These costs primarily include employee-related costs (primarily severance), the impairment of manufacturing equipment, plant shut down expenses, expenses related to the preparation of the facility for sale, legal expenses, and other related costs. In addition, there was also an inventory write-down of $400,000 recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2017

. The write-down was related to inventory that was previously realizable until the decision in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 to shut down the Kanas City plant due to the planned curtailment of the manufacturing of fluorescent light fixtures. The Company owns the facility in Kansas City and expects to realize a gain when the facility is sold. The closure of this facility is expected to result in annual net operating profit improvement and cost savings of approximately $1.4 million before consideration of the restructuring and inventory write-down expenses. The savings as result of closure of the facility are expected to be realized starting in the third quarter of fiscal 2017.

The Company also announced the consolidation of the Beaverton, Oregon facility into other LSI facilities. The light assembly of products in the Beaverton facility was moved to the company’s Columbus, Ohio facility, and the administration and engineering functions were moved to an LSI facility in Cincinnati, Ohio. This consolidation was completed September 30, 2016. As a result of this consolidation, a restructuring charge of $365,000 was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, with the majority of this representing the costs related to the remaining period of the facility’s lease and severance costs for employees who formerly worked in the Beaverton facility. The consolidation of this facility and net reduction of employment is expected to result in annual cost savings of approximately $450,000. The savings as a result of the consolidation of this facility are expected to be realized starting in the second quarter of fiscal 2017.

The following table presents information about restructuring costs for the periods indicated:

Impairment charges of $273,000 were recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 related to machinery and equipment at the Kansas City and Beaverton facilities. Of the $273,000 of impairment expense, $242,000 was recorded in the Lighting Segment and $31,000 was recorded in the Technology Segment. The fair value of the equipment evaluated for impairment was determined by comparing the future undiscounted cash flows to the carrying value of the assets. The future cash flows are from the remaining use of the assets as well as the cash flows expected to result from the future sale of the assets.

INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective income tax rate is based on expected income, statutory rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates the annual income tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly income tax provision or benefit in accordance with the anticipated annual rate. The Company refines the estimates of the year's taxable income as new information becomes available, including actual year-to-date financial results. This continual estimation process often results in a change to the expected effective income tax rate for the year. When this occurs, the Company adjusts the income tax provision during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects the expected income tax rate. Significant judgment is required in determining the effective tax rate and in evaluating tax positions.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LSI Industries Inc. (an Ohio corporation) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), all of which are wholly owned.  All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Revenue Recognition:

Revenue is recognized when title to goods and risk of loss have passed to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of a purchase arrangement, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, and collectability is reasonably assured.  Revenue is typically recognized at time of shipment.  In certain arrangements with customers, as is the case with the sale of some of our solid-state LED (light emitting diode) video screens, revenue is recognized upon customer acceptance of the video screen at the job site.  Sales are recorded net of estimated returns, rebates and discounts. Amounts received from customers prior to the recognition of revenue are accounted for as customer pre-payments and are included in accrued expenses.

The Company has five sources of revenue:  revenue from product sales; revenue from installation of products; service revenue generated from providing integrated design, project and construction management, site engineering and site permitting, and commissioning of lighting controls; revenue from the management of media content and digital hardware related to active digital signage; and revenue from shipping and handling.

Product revenue is recognized on product-only orders upon passing of title and risk of loss, generally at time of shipment.  However, product revenue related to orders where the customer requires the Company to install the product is recognized when the product is installed.  The Company provides product warranties and certain post-shipment service, support and maintenance of certain solid state LED video screens.

Installation revenue is recognized when the products have been fully installed.  The Company is not always responsible for installation of products it sells and has no post-installation responsibilities, other than normal warranties.

Service revenue from integrated design, project and construction management, and site permitting is recognized when all products at each customer site have been installed.

Revenue from the management of media content and digital hardware related to active digital signage is recognized evenly over the service period with the customer. Media content service periods with most customers range from one month to one year.

Shipping and handling revenue coincides with the recognition of revenue from sale of the product.

In situations where the Company is responsible for re-imaging programs with multiple sites, each site is viewed as a separate unit of accounting and has stand-alone value to the customer. Revenue is recognized upon the Company’s complete performance at the location, which may include a site survey, graphics products, lighting products, and installation of products. The selling price assigned to each site is based upon an agreed upon price between the Company and its customer and reflects the estimated selling price for that site relative to the selling price for sites with similar image requirements.

The Company also evaluates the appropriateness of revenue recognition in accordance with the accounting standards on software revenue recognition. Our solid-state LED video screens and active digital signage contain software elements which the Company has determined are incidental.

Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Credit and Collections:

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts receivable for probable estimated losses resulting from either customer disputes or the inability of its customers to make required payments.  If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make the required payments, the Company may be required to record additional allowances or charges against income.  The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by first considering all known collectability problems of customers’ accounts, and then applying certain percentages against the various aging categories based on the due date of the remaining receivables.  The resulting allowance for doubtful accounts receivable is an estimate based upon the Company’s knowledge of its business and customer base, and historical trends.  Receivables deemed uncollectable are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted. The Company also establishes allowances, at the time revenue is recognized, for returns, discounts, pricing and other possible customer deductions.  These allowances are based upon historical trends.

The following table presents the Company’s net accounts receivable at the dates indicated.

(In thousands)	September 30,			June 30,
	2016			2016
Accounts receivable	$	46,527		$	47,201
Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts		(293	)		(226	)
Accounts receivable, net	$	46,234		$	46,975

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The cash balance includes cash and cash equivalents which have original maturities of less than three months. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of bank deposits and a bank money market account that is stated at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company maintains balances at financial institutions in the United States.  In the United States, the FDIC limit for insurance coverage on non-interest bearing accounts is $250,000.

As of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016, the Company had bank balances of $34,816,000 and $37,883,000, respectively, without insurance coverage.

Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Inventories and Inventory Reserves:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost of inventories includes the cost of purchased raw materials and components, direct labor, as well as manufacturing overhead which is generally applied to inventory based on direct labor and on material content. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out basis.

The Company maintains an inventory reserve for probable obsolescence of its obsolete and excess inventory. The Company first determines its obsolete inventory reserve by considering specific known obsolete items, and then by applying certain percentages to specific inventory categories based upon inventory turns. The Company uses various tools, in addition to inventory turns, to identify which inventory items have the potential to become obsolete. Judgment is used to establish excess and obsolete inventory reserves and management adjusts these reserves as more information becomes available about the ultimate disposition of the inventory item.  

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Property, Plant and Equipment and Related Depreciation:

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.  Major additions and betterments are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are expensed.  For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Buildings (in years)	28	-	40
Machinery and equipment (in years)	3	-	10
Computer software (in years)	3	-	8

Costs related to the purchase, internal development, and implementation of the Company’s fully integrated enterprise resource planning/business operating software system are either capitalized or expensed.  Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of fifteen years or the remaining term of the lease.

The Company recorded $1,728,000 and $1,450,000 of depreciation expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Intangible Assets:

Intangible assets consisting of customer relationships, trade names and trademarks, patents, technology and software, and non-compete agreements are recorded on the Company's balance sheet.  The definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized to expense over periods ranging between seven and twenty years.  The Company evaluates definite-lived intangible assets for permanent impairment when triggering events are identified. Neither indefinite-lived intangible assets nor the excess of cost over fair value of assets acquired ("goodwill") are amortized, however they are subject to review for impairment.  See additional information about goodwill and intangibles in Note 7.

Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Fair Value:

The Company has financial instruments consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents, revolving lines of credit, accounts receivables, accounts payable, and on occasion, long-term debt.  The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value because of their short-term maturity and/or variable, market-driven interest rates.  The Company has no financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk.

Fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities are primarily used in goodwill and other intangible asset impairment analyses, long-lived asset impairment analysis, in the purchase price of acquired companies (if any), and in the valuation of the contingent earn-out. The accounting guidance on fair value measurement was used to measure the fair value of these nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities.

Standard Product Warranty, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Product Warranties:

The Company offers a limited warranty that its products are free from defects in workmanship and materials.  The specific terms and conditions vary somewhat by product line, but generally cover defective products returned within one to five years, with some exceptions where the terms extend to 10 years, from the date of shipment.  The Company records warranty liabilities to cover the estimated future costs for repair or replacement of defective returned products as well as products that need to be repaired or replaced in the field after installation.  The Company calculates its liability for warranty claims by applying estimates to cover unknown claims, as well as estimating the total amount to be incurred for known warranty issues.  The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.

Changes in the Company’s warranty liabilities, which are included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, during the periods indicated below were as follows:

	Three			Three			Fiscal
	Months Ended			Months Ended			Year Ended
(In thousands)	September 30,			September 30,			June 30,

Deductions for repairs and Replacements		(624	)		(615	)		(3,408	)
Balance at end of the period	$	5,348		$	3,670		$	5,069

Research, Development, and Computer Software, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Research and Development Costs:

Research and development expenses are costs directly attributable to new product development, including the development of new technology for both existing and new products, and consist of salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits, materials, outside legal costs and filing fees related to obtaining patents, supplies, depreciation and other administrative costs.   The Company expenses as research and development all costs associated with development of software used in solid-state LED products.  All costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling and administrative expenses. Research and development costs related to both product and software development totaled $1,401,000 and $1,311,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Cost of Sales, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Cost of Products and Services Sold:

Cost of products sold is primarily comprised of direct materials and supplies consumed in the manufacture of products, as well as manufacturing labor, depreciation expense and direct overhead expense necessary to acquire and convert the purchased materials and supplies into finished product. Cost of products sold also includes the cost to distribute products to customers, inbound freight costs, internal transfer costs, warehousing costs and other shipping and handling activity. Cost of services sold is primarily comprised of the internal and external labor costs required to support the Company’s service revenue along with the management of media content.

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Earnings Per Common Share:

The computation of basic earnings per common share is based on the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period net of treasury shares held in the Company’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan.  The computation of diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period and includes common share equivalents.  Common share equivalents include the dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock units, contingently issuable shares and common shares to be issued under a deferred compensation plan, all of which totaled 914,000 and 693,000 shares for the three month ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. See further discussion of earnings per share in Note 4.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Income Taxes:

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the accounting guidance for income taxes.  Accordingly, deferred income taxes are provided on items that are reported as either income or expense in different time periods for financial reporting purposes than they are for income tax purposes.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are reported on the Company’s balance sheet.  Significant management judgment is required in developing the Company’s income tax provision, including the estimation of taxable income and the effective income tax rates in the multiple taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates, the estimation of the liability for uncertain income tax positions, the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowances that might be required against deferred tax assets.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

New Accounting Pronouncements:

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This amended guidance supersedes and replaces all existing U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance. The guidance established a new revenue recognition model, changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized, provides new and more detailed guidance on specific revenue topics, and expands and improves disclosures about revenue. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing.” In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.” Both of these standards clarify or improve guidance from ASU 2014-09. These standards are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, or the Company’s fiscal year 2019. The Company is evaluating the impact the amended guidance will have on its financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,” which eliminates the current requirement to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in the statement of financial position. This update requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent. This update is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning April 1, 2017. This update may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. However, early adoption is permitted and we have chosen to adopt the standard retrospectively as of June 30, 2016. As a result, prior periods have been adjusted to reflect this change. This update impacted the presentation, but not the measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets.

Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Comprehensive Income:

The Company does not have any comprehensive income items other than net income.

Subsequent Events, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Subsequent Events:

The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date the consolidated financial statements were filed.  No items were identified during this evaluation that required adjustment to or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements.

Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Reclassifications:

Certain prior year balance sheet amounts have been reclassified to conform to new accounting guidance on balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. These reclassifications have no impact on net income, earnings per share, or operating cash flows.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
