Explanation of Anticipated Changes
All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Form 12b-25 are statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The words “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “predict”, “believe” and similar expressions and variations thereof are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements appear in a number of places in this Form and include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Registrant, its directors or its officers with respect to, among other things: (i) trends affecting the Registrant’s financial condition or results of operations; (ii) the Registrant’s financing plans; (iii) the Registrant’s business and growth strategies, including potential acquisitions; and (iv) other plans and objectives for future operations. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties and that actual results may differ materially from those predicted in the forward-looking statements or which may be anticipated from historical results or trends.
Net sales
     Consolidated net sales decreased $2.9 million for the three months ended May 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended May 31, 2008. Display segment sales decreased $2.2 million for the three-month comparative period and sales within the Wholesale Distribution segment decreased $0.6 million for the three-month comparative period.
     The net decrease in Display Segment sales for the three months ended May 31, 2009 is primarily attributed to the monitor division, as compared to the same period ended May 31, 2008. The Monitor revenues decreased $1.7 million over the three-month period primarily due to the delay in the implementation of long term contracts. The Data Display CRT revenues decreased $0.2 million over the three-month period primarily due to the decline in the replacement CRT market. Entertainment CRTs revenues declined $0.2 million over the comparable three-month period. A significant portion of the entertainment division’s sales are to major television retailers as replacements for products sold under manufacturer and extended warranties. Due to continued lower retail sales prices for mid-size television

 


 

sets (25” to 30”), fewer extended warranties were sold by retailers, a trend consistent with recent prior fiscal years. The Company remains the primary supplier of product to meet manufacturers’ standard warranties. Growth in this division will be negatively impacted by the decreasing number of extended warranties sold for the larger, more expensive sets. Because the Company is in the replacement market, it has the ability to track retail sales trends and, accordingly, can attempt to adjust quantities of certain size CRTs carried in stock and reduce exposure to obsolescence.
     The net decrease in the Wholesale Segment sales for the three months ended May 31, 2009 is attributable to the decrease in sales for one of the divisions leading customers, Rent-A-Center due to decreased consumer demand.
Gross margins
     Consolidated gross margins decreased from 37.4% for the three months ended May 31, 2008 to 35.7% for the three months ended May 31, 2009.
     Display segment margins decreased from 30.6% to 24.8% for the comparative three month period. Gross margins within the Monitor division decreased to 21.8% for the three months ended May 31, 2009 from 29.5% for the three months ended May 31, 2008. This decrease is primarily attributable to the impact of the delay in the implementation of the new contracts in the Monitor division in Fiscal 2010, fixed costs absorbed on less sales. Data Display CRT gross margins increased from 30.6% for the three months ended May 31, 2008 to 35.7% for the three months ended May 31, 2009, due to the increase of higher margin products to large customers during the three months ended May 31, 2009. Gross margins in Entertainment CRT were negative for the three months ended May 31, 2009 due to reduced volume at both of the division’s locations as business winds down at the Chroma television tube plant. Gross margins from Component Parts were 55.0% for the three months ended May 31, 2009 and 41.8% the three months ended May 31, 2008 including intercompany sales. The majority of this division’s sales are within the Company.
Operating expenses
     Operating expenses as a percentage of sales increased from 31.8% for the three months ended May 31, 2008 to 35.0% for the three months ended May 31, 2009.
     Display segment operating expenses increased 1.0% for the three month period as compared to the comparable prior year period primarily attributable research and development and legal expenses.
     Wholesale Distribution segment operating expenses decreased 14.5% compared to the three month period a year ago, primarily due to the cost reductions programs implemented by management during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.
Interest expense
     Interest expense decreased $0.1 million for the three months ended May 31, 2009 as compared to the same period a year ago. The Company maintains various debt agreements with different interest rates, most of which are based on the prime rate or LIBOR. These decreases in interest expense reflect lower average interest rates.
Income taxes
     The effective tax rate for the three months ended May 31, 2009 and 2008 was 28.3% and 35.3%, respectively. These rates differ from the Federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of state taxes and the permanent non-deductibility of certain expenses for tax purposes.
