PART I

ITEM 1. Business

General

Richardson Electronics, Ltd. (“we”, “us”, “the Company”, and “our”) is incorporated in the state of Delaware. We are a leading global provider of engineered solutions, power grid and microwave tubes and related components, and customized display solutions, serving customers in the alternative energy, aviation, broadcast, communications, industrial, marine, medical, military, scientific, and semiconductor markets. Our strategy is to provide specialized technical expertise and “engineered solutions” based on our core engineering and manufacturing capabilities. We provide solutions and add value through design-in support, systems integration, prototype design and manufacturing, testing, logistics, and aftermarket technical service and repair.

Our products include electron tubes and related components, microwave generators, subsystems used in semiconductor manufacturing, and visual technology solutions. These products are used to control, switch or amplify electrical power signals, or are used as display devices in a variety of industrial, commercial, medical, and communication applications.

On March 1, 2011, we completed the sale of the assets primarily used or held for use in, and certain liabilities of, our RF, Wireless and Power Division (“RFPD”), as well as certain other Company assets, including our information technology assets, to Arrow Electronics, Inc. (“Arrow”) in exchange for $238.8 million, which included an estimated pre-closing working capital adjustment of approximately $27.0 million (“the Transaction”). During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, we recorded a working capital adjustment of $4.2 million in our results from discontinued operations. During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we paid Arrow $3.9 million to settle the agreed upon working capital adjustment.

On September 5, 2011, we acquired the assets of Powerlink Specialist Electronics Support Limited (“Powerlink”) for approximately $2.3 million. Powerlink, a UK-based technical service company with locations in London and Dubai, services traveling wave tube (“TWT”) amplifiers and related equipment for the Satellite Communications market throughout Europe and the Middle East.

On September 4, 2012, we acquired the assets of D and C Import-Export, Inc. (“D and C”) for approximately $2.6 million. D and C, a Florida-based distributor of power grid tubes and associated RF components, services the broadcast, commercial, industrial, medical, military, and scientific markets. This acquisition provides us with access to additional product lines, vendors, and customers.

The consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended May 28, 2011 has been restated to reflect the Transaction. Refer to Note 5 “Discontinued Operations” of the notes to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional discussion on the sale of RFPD.

The consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the fiscal year ended May 28, 2011, has been restated to reflect a misstatement. Refer to Note 3 “Restatement” of the notes to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional discussion on this misstatement.

Our fiscal year 2013 began on June 3, 2012, and ended on June 1, 2013. Unless otherwise noted, all references in this document to a particular year shall mean our fiscal year.

We have two operating segments, which we define as follows:

Electron Device Group (“EDG”) provides engineered solutions and distributes electronic components to customers in alternative energy, aviation, broadcast, communications, industrial, marine, medical, military, scientific, and semiconductor markets. EDG focuses on various applications including broadcast transmission, CO₂ laser cutting, diagnostic imaging, dielectric and induction heating, high energy transfer, high voltage switching, plasma, power conversion, radar, and radiation oncology. EDG also offers its customers technical services for both microwave and industrial equipment.

Canvys provides customized display solutions serving the corporate enterprise, financial, healthcare, industrial, and medical original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) markets.

We currently have operations in the following major geographic regions:

•

North America;

•

Asia/Pacific;

•

Europe; and

•

Latin America.

Selected financial data attributable to each segment and geographic region for fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011 is set forth in Note 12 “Segment and Geographic Information” of the notes to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Electron Device Group

EDG provides engineered solutions and distributes electronic components to customers in alternative energy, aviation, broadcast, communications, industrial, marine, medical, military, scientific, and semiconductor markets. EDG focuses on various applications including broadcast transmission, CO₂ laser cutting, diagnostic imaging, dielectric and induction heating, high energy transfer, high voltage switching, plasma, power conversion, radar, and radiation oncology. EDG also offers its customers technical services for both microwave and industrial equipment.

We represent leading manufacturers of electron tubes and components used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment and industrial power applications. Among the suppliers we support are Amperex, CPI, Draloric, Eimac, General Electric, Hitachi, Jennings, L3, National, NJRC, Thales, and Toshiba.

Canvys

Canvys provides customized display solutions serving the corporate enterprise, financial, healthcare, industrial, and OEM markets. Our engineers design, manufacture, source, and support a full spectrum of solutions to match the needs of our customers. We offer custom display solutions that include touch screens, protective panels, custom enclosures, specialized cabinet finishes, and application specific software packages. Our volume commitments are much lower than those of the large display manufacturers, making us the ideal choice for companies with very specific design requirements. We partner with both private label manufacturing companies and leading branded hardware vendors to offer the highest quality liquid crystal displays, mounting devices, and customized computing platforms.

As a longtime provider of healthcare solutions to hospitals and medical clinics, we specialize in creating comprehensive solutions for diagnostic and clinical review, 3-D and post processing, surgical suites and modality-specific applications. Our solutions meet certifications and calibration standards for patient monitoring, bio-medical displays, ultrasound, cardiac imaging, picture archiving, and communications systems. We offer our picture archiving communication system (“PACS”) and patient monitoring displays under our own brand, Image Systems.

We have long-standing relationships with key component and finished goods manufacturers including 3M, HP, IBM, Intel, LG, NEC Displays, Sharp Electronics, Samsung, and WIDE Corporation. We believe our distributor relationships, combined with our engineering design and manufacturing capabilities and private label partnerships, allow us to maintain a well-balanced and technologically advanced offering of customer specific display solutions.

Products and Suppliers

Our inventory levels reflect our commitment to maintain an inventory of a broad range of products for customers who are buying products for replacement of components used in critical equipment. In many cases, the market for our products is characterized by rapid change and obsolescence as a result of the introduction of new technologies. As of June 1, 2013, on average, we hold 120 days of inventory in the normal course of operations. This level of inventory reflects the fact that we also sell a number of products representing trailing edge technology. While the market for these trailing edge technology products is declining, we are increasing our market share. As manufacturers for these products exit the business, we sometimes purchase a substantial portion of their remaining inventory.

We have distribution agreements with many of our suppliers; however, a number of these agreements provide for nonexclusive distribution rights and often include territorial restrictions that limit the countries in which we can distribute their products. The agreements are subject to periodic renewal, and some contain provisions permitting termination by either party, without cause, upon relatively short notice. Although some of these agreements allow us to return inventory periodically, others do not, in which case we may have obsolete inventory that we cannot return to the supplier.

Our suppliers generally warrant the products we distribute and allow return of defective products, including those returned to us by our customers. Except for certain displays, we generally do not provide additional warranties on the products we sell. For information regarding the warranty reserves, see Note 4 “Significant Accounting Policies” of the notes to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In addition to third party products, we sell proprietary products principally under certain trade names we own including: Amperex®, Cetron®, Image Systems®, and National®. Our proprietary products include thyratrons and rectifiers, power tubes, ignitrons, magnetrons, phototubes, microwave generators,

and liquid crystal display monitors. The materials used in the manufacturing process consist of glass bulbs and tubing, nickel, stainless steel and other metals, plastic and metal bases, ceramics, and a wide variety of fabricated metal components. These materials are generally readily available, but some components may require long lead times for production, and some materials are subject to shortages or price fluctuations based on supply and demand.

Sales and Product Management

As of the end of fiscal 2013, we employed 150 sales and product management personnel worldwide. In addition, we have authorized representatives, who are not our employees, selling our products primarily in regions where we do not have a direct sales presence.

We offer various credit terms to qualifying customers as well as prepayment, credit card, and cash on delivery terms. We establish credit limits for each sale prior to selling product to our customers and routinely review delinquent and aging accounts.

Distribution

We maintain approximately 110,700 part numbers in our product inventory database and we estimate that more than 90% of orders received by 6:00 p.m. local time are shipped complete the same day if product is in stock. Customers can access our products on our web sites, www.rell.com, www.canvys.com, and www.rellaser.com, through electronic data interchange, or by telephone. Customer orders are processed by our regional sales offices and supported primarily by one of our distribution facilities in LaFox, Illinois; Amsterdam, Netherlands; Marlborough, Massachusetts; Plymouth, Minnesota; Donaueschingen, Germany; or Singapore, Singapore. We also have satellite warehouses in Sao Paulo, Brazil; Shanghai, China; Bangkok, Thailand; and Hook, United Kingdom. Our data processing network provides on-line, real-time interconnection of all sales offices and central distribution operations, 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Information on stock availability, cross-reference information, customers, and market analyses are obtainable throughout the entire distribution network.

International Sales

During fiscal 2013, approximately 55% of our sales were made outside the U.S. We continue to pursue new international sales to further expand our geographic reach.

Employees

As of June 1, 2013, we employed 314 individuals, of which 298 were full-time and 16 were part-time. Of these, 191 were located in the United States and 123 were located internationally. The worldwide employee base included 150 in sales and product management, 17 in distribution support, 82 in administrative positions, and 65 in value-add and product manufacturing. All of our employees are non-union, and we consider our relationships with our employees to be good.

Website Access to SEC Reports

We maintain an Internet website at www.rell.com. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 are accessible through our website, free of charge, as soon as reasonably practicable after these reports are filed electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Interactive Data Files pursuant to Rule 405 of Regulation S-T, of these filing dates, formatted in Extensible Business Reporting Language (“XBRL”) are accessible as well. To access these reports, go to our website at www.rell.com. The foregoing information regarding our website is provided for convenience and the content of our website is not deemed to be incorporated by reference in this report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

Investors should consider carefully the following risk factors in addition to the other information included and incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. While we believe we have identified the key risk factors affecting our business, there may be additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known or that are not currently believed to be significant that may adversely affect our results of operations.

We may not achieve our growth, cost-reduction or margin expansion goals.

We have established goals to improve our profitability by growing our sales with new and existing customers, reducing our expenses, and increasing our margins. If we do not achieve our growth objectives, the complexity of our global infrastructure makes it difficult to reduce our fixed cost structure to align with the size of our operations. Factors that could have a significant effect on our ability to achieve these goals include the following:

•

Failure to achieve our sales and margin growth objectives in our product lines and business units;

•

Failure to identify, consummate and integrate future acquisitions;

•

Declining gross margin reflecting competitive pricing pressures or product mix; and,

•

Limitations on our ability to leverage our support-function cost structure while maintaining an adequate structure to achieve our long-term growth objectives.

We have historically incurred significant charges for inventory obsolescence, and may incur similar charges in the future.

We maintain significant inventories in an effort to ensure that customers have a reliable source of supply. Our products generally support industrial machinery that is powered by tube technology. As technology evolves and this capital equipment is replaced, the market for our products potentially declines. In addition, the market for many of our other products is characterized by rapid change resulting from the development of new technologies, evolving industry standards, frequent new product introductions by some of our suppliers and changing end-user demand, which can contribute to the decline in value or obsolescence of our inventory. We do not have many long-term supply contracts with our customers. If we fail to anticipate the changing needs of our customers or we fail to accurately forecast customer demand, our customers may not place orders with us, and we may accumulate significant inventories of products which we will be unable to sell or return to our vendors. This may result in a significant decline in the value of our inventory.

We face competitive pressures in the markets we serve.

We face many competitors, both global and local, in the markets we serve. Not only do we compete with other distributors, we also compete for customers with many of our own suppliers. Our overall competitive position depends on a number of factors including price, engineering capability, vendor representation, product diversity, lead times and the level of customer service. Our competition includes hundreds of electronic component distributors of various sizes, locations, and market focuses, as well as original equipment manufacturers and refurbishers. Some of our competitors have greater resources and broader name recognition than we do. As a result, these competitors may be able to better withstand changing conditions within our markets and throughout the economy as a whole. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced margins, or a loss of market share, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

A single stockholder has voting control over us.

As of July 22, 2013, Edward J. Richardson, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, beneficially owned approximately 99% of the outstanding shares of our Class B common stock, representing approximately 67% of the voting power of the outstanding common stock. This share ownership permits Mr. Richardson to exert control over the outcome of stockholder votes, including votes concerning the election of directors, by-law amendments, possible mergers, corporate control contests, and other significant corporate transactions.

We depend on key management and employees, the loss of whom may prevent us from implementing our business plans, limit our profitability and decrease the value of our common stock.

We are dependent on the talent and resources of our key executives and employees. In particular, the success of our business depends to a great extent on Edward J. Richardson, our President, Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of our Board of Directors. Mr. Richardson has extensive experience in the electron device industry, and his services are critical to our success. We have not obtained key man insurance with respect to Mr. Richardson or any of our executive officers. The loss of Mr. Richardson may prevent us from implementing our business plan, which may limit our profitability and decrease the value of our common stock.

EDG is dependent on a limited number of vendors to supply it with essential products.

EDG’s principal products are vacuum tubes. These tubes and certain other products supplied by EDG are currently produced by a relatively small number of manufacturers. One of EDG’s suppliers represents 16% of our total sales volume. Our success depends, in large part, on maintaining current vendor relationships and developing new relationships. We believe that some vendors supplying products to EDG product lines are consolidating their distribution relationships as a result of the declining market for vacuum tubes. To the extent that our significant suppliers reduce the volume of product they sell through distribution and are unwilling to continue to do business with us, or extend lead times, or limit supplies due to capacity constraints, or other factors, there could be a material adverse effect on our business.

International operations represent a significant percentage of our business and present a variety of unique risks which could impact our results of operations.

Because we source and sell our products worldwide, our business is subject to risks associated with doing business internationally. These risks include the costs and difficulties of managing foreign entities, limitations on the repatriation and investment of funds, currency fluctuations, cultural differences that affect customer preferences and business practices, unstable political or economic conditions, trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements, changes in tax laws and difficulty in staffing global operations.

We also face exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates because we conduct business outside of the U.S. Price increases caused by currency exchange rate fluctuations may make our products less competitive or may have an adverse effect on our margins. Our international revenues and expenses generally are derived from sales and operations in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, when the U.S. dollar strengthens in relation to the currencies of the countries in which we sell our products, our U.S. dollar reported net revenue and income will decrease. We currently do not engage in any currency hedging transactions. We cannot predict whether foreign currency exchange risks inherent in doing business in foreign countries will have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results in the future.

Our products may be found to be defective or our services performed may result in equipment or product damage and, as a result, warranty and/or product liability claims may be asserted against us.

Many of our components are sold at prices that are significantly lower than the cost of the equipment or other goods in which they are incorporated. Additionally, we offer installation and repair services in conjunction with the selling of our components. Since a defect or failure in a product or service could give rise to failures in the equipment that incorporates them, we may face claims for damages that are disproportionate to the revenues and profits we receive from the components involved in the claims. While we typically have provisions in our agreements with our suppliers that hold the supplier accountable for defective products, and we and our suppliers generally exclude consequential damages in our standard terms and conditions, our ability to avoid such liabilities may be limited as a result of various factors, including the inability to exclude such damages due to the laws of some of the countries where we do

business. Our business could be materially adversely affected as a result of a significant quality or performance issues in the components sold by us if we are required to pay for the damages that result. Although we have product liability insurance, such insurance is limited in coverage and amount.

Substantial defaults by our customers on our accounts receivable or the loss of significant customers could have a significant negative impact on our business.

We extend credit to our customers. The failure of a significant customer or a significant group of customers to timely pay all amounts due could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. The extension of credit involves considerable judgment and is based on management’s evaluation of factors which include such things as a customer’s financial condition, payment history and the availability of collateral to secure customers’ receivables.

We may not be successful in identifying, consummating and integrating future acquisitions.

As part of our growth strategy, our intent is to acquire additional businesses or assets. We may not be able to identify attractive acquisition candidates or complete the acquisition of identified candidates at favorable prices and upon advantageous terms. Also, acquisitions are accompanied by risks, such as potential exposure to unknown liabilities and the possible loss of key employees and customers of the acquired business. In addition, we may not obtain the expected benefits or cost savings from acquisitions. Acquisitions are subject to risks associated with financing the acquisition and integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired businesses or assets. If any of these risks materialize, they may result in disruptions to our business and the diversion of management time and attention, which could increase the costs of operating our existing or acquired businesses or negate the expected benefits of the acquisitions.

Economic weakness and uncertainty could adversely affect our revenues and gross margins.

Our revenues and gross profit margins depend significantly on global economic conditions, the demand for our products and services and the financial condition of our customers. Economic weakness and uncertainty have in the past resulted, and may result in the future, in decreased revenues and gross profit margins. Economic weakness and uncertainty also make it more difficult for us to forecast overall supply and demand with a great deal of confidence.

Our operating results during Fiscal 2013 reflect a decline in sales volume, and there can be no assurance that we will experience a recovery in the near future; nor can there be any assurance that such worldwide economic volatility experienced recently will not continue.

Major disruptions to our logistics capability could have a material adverse impact on our operations.

Our global logistics services are operated through specialized and centralized distribution centers. We depend on third party transportation service providers for the delivery of products to our customers. A major interruption or disruption in service at any of our distribution centers for any reason (such as natural disasters, pandemics, or significant disruptions of services from our third party providers) could cause cancellations or delays in a significant number of shipments to customers and, as a result, could have a severe impact on our business, operations and financial performance.

We rely heavily on information technology systems, which, if not properly functioning, could materially adversely affect our business.

Pursuant to a Transition Services Agreement with Arrow Electronics, Arrow provides IT services to us. We rely on these information systems to process, analyze, and manage data to facilitate the purchase and distribution of our products, as well as to receive, process, bill, and ship orders on a timely basis. If the IT services provided by Arrow Electronics are not provided to us in an adequate manner, our ability to serve our customers and to perform other vital company functions may be affected. Arrow’s obligation to provide these IT services ends on March 1, 2014, although we have negotiated the right to extend the Agreement. We are in the process of migrating to a new ERP platform with the intent of completing the

migration prior to the termination date of the Transition Services Agreement. A significant disruption or failure in the design, implementation or support of the new information technology systems could disrupt our business, result in increased costs or decreased revenues, harm our reputation, or expose us to liability. To the extent we cannot timely complete this project, our business may suffer and we may incur significant additional costs.

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

Substantial litigation and threats of litigation regarding intellectual property rights exist in the display systems and electronics industries. From time to time, third parties (including certain companies in the business of acquiring patents not for the purpose of developing technology but with the intention of aggressively seeking licensing revenue from purported infringers) may assert patent and/or other intellectual property rights to technologies that are important to our business. In any dispute involving products that we have sold, our customers could also become the target of litigation. We are obligated in many instances to indemnify and defend our customers if the products we sell are alleged to infringe any third party’s intellectual property rights. In some cases, depending on the nature of the claim, we may be able to seek indemnification from our suppliers for our self and our customers against such claims, but there is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such indemnification or that we are fully protected against such claims. Any infringement claim brought against us, regardless of the duration, outcome or size of damage award, could result in substantial cost, divert our management’s attention, be time consuming to defend, result in significant damage awards, cause product shipment delays; or require us to enter into royalty or other licensing agreements.

Additionally, if an infringement claim is successful we may be required to pay damages or seek royalty or license arrangements which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms. The payment of any such damages or royalties may significantly increase our operating expenses and harm our operating results and financial condition. Also, royalty or license arrangements may not be available at all. We may have to stop selling certain products or using technologies, which could affect our ability to compete effectively.

Potential lawsuits, with or without merit, may divert management’s attention, and we may incur significant expenses in our defense. In addition, we may be required to pay damage awards or settlements, become subject to injunctions or other equitable remedies, or determine to abandon certain lines of business, that may cause a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls or discover material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting, we may not be able to detect fraud or report our financial results accurately or timely.

An effective internal control environment is necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and is an important part of our effort to prevent financial fraud. We are required to periodically evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal controls over financial reporting. Based on these evaluations, we may conclude that enhancements, modifications or changes to internal controls are necessary or desirable. While management evaluates the effectiveness of our internal controls on a regular basis, these controls may not always be effective. There are inherent limitations on the effectiveness of internal controls, including fraud, collusion, management override, and failure in human judgment. In addition, control procedures are designed to reduce rather than eliminate business risks.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, or if management or our independent registered public accounting firm discovers material weaknesses in our internal controls, we may be unable to produce reliable financial reports or prevent fraud. In addition, we may be subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission or NASDAQ. Any such actions could result in an adverse reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our financial statements.

If we are deemed to be an investment company, we will be required to meet burdensome compliance requirements and restrictions on our activities.

Currently we have significant cash reserves. If we are deemed to be an “investment company” as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), the nature of our investments may be subject to various restrictions. We do not believe that our principal activities subject us to the Investment Company Act. However, if we are deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act, compliance with required additional regulatory burdens would increase our operating expenses.

ITEM 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Electron Device Group

Net sales for EDG decreased 8.9% to $102.6 million during fiscal 2013, from $112.6 million during fiscal 2012. Net sales of tubes decreased to $80.8 million during fiscal 2013, as compared to $90.1

million during fiscal 2012, due primarily to economic factors and weaker demand, particularly in Europe and China, as well as overall declines in the plastic, wood, and semiconductor fabrication markets. Net sales of continuous wave magnetrons and related assemblies sold primarily into the semi-conductor fabrication market decreased to $9.7 million during fiscal 2013, as compared to $10.1 million during fiscal 2012. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased slightly to 30.6% during fiscal 2013, as compared to 30.8% during fiscal 2012.

Canvys

Canvys net sales decreased 15.0% to $38.5 million during fiscal 2013, from $45.3 million during fiscal 2012. Sales were down in the North America Healthcare segment driven by the uncertainty with surrounding health care reform while sales in Europe were down due to continuing economic pressures. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased to 26.3% during fiscal 2013 as compared to 26.9% during fiscal 2012, due to lower margin in Europe associated with customer mix and currency exchange.

Canvys net sales increased 0.2% to $45.3 million during fiscal 2012, from $45.2 million during fiscal 2011. Sales increased in the North America original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) market, while sales in Europe were down due to the effect of the economic crisis on German exports. Healthcare revenues were flat. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased to 26.9 % during fiscal 2012 as compared to 24.6% during fiscal 2011, due primarily to improved quoting procedures and project selection, and better control of inventory and expedited freight requirements. A warranty charge taken during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 relating to a customer specific project had a negative impact on gross margin of 0.7%.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased during fiscal 2013 to $41.5 million from $40.6 million during fiscal 2012. SG&A as a percentage of sales from continuing operations, increased to 29.4% during fiscal 2013 from 25.8% during fiscal 2012. SG&A in fiscal 2013 includes a $1.4 million increase for EDG partially offset by a $0.1 million reduction of support function costs and a decrease of SG&A costs for Canvys of $0.9 million. SG&A in fiscal 2013 includes employee-related termination costs of $0.5 million, $0.3 million, and $0.4 million relating to EDG, Canvys, and Corporate, respectively, compared to no employee-related termination costs for fiscal 2012.

SG&A decreased during fiscal 2012 to $40.6 million from $43.3 million during fiscal 2011. SG&A as a percentage of sales, from continuing operations, declined by 140 basis points to 25.8% during fiscal 2012 from 27.2% during fiscal 2011. The $2.7 million decrease includes a $0.1 million reduction of SG&A for EDG and a $2.8 million reduction of total company support function costs, due primarily to a reduction in headcount and professional services, partially offset by an increase of SG&A costs for Canvys of $0.2 million due primarily to an increase in bad debts from one customer, partially offset by a decrease in salary and severance.

Other (Income) Expense

Other (income) expense was income of $0.6 million during fiscal 2013, compared to income of $1.4 million during fiscal 2012. Other (income) expense included a foreign exchange loss of $0.8 million, as compared to a foreign exchange gain of less than $0.1 million during fiscal 2012. Our foreign exchange gains and losses are primarily due to the translation of U.S. dollars held in non-U.S. entities. We currently do not utilize derivative instruments to manage our exposure to foreign currency. Fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 also included $1.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of investment income.

Other (income) expense was income of $1.4 million during fiscal 2012, compared with expense of $0.4 million during fiscal 2011. The change from expense to income during fiscal 2012, as compared to fiscal 2011, was due primarily to income from investments of $1.4 million. Foreign exchange was a gain of less than $0.1 million during fiscal 2012, as compared to a foreign exchange loss of $0.6 million during fiscal 2011. Our foreign exchange gains and losses are primarily due to the translation of U.S. dollars held in non-U.S. entities. We currently do not utilize derivative instruments to manage our exposure to foreign currency. We carried no debt and had no redemptions during fiscal 2012, while fiscal 2011 included a loss of $0.1 million related to the redemption of our 7 ³/₄% convertible senior subordinated notes. Interest expense decreased to less than $0.1 million during fiscal 2012, as compared to $0.1 million during fiscal 2011, due to the full redemption of our convertible notes.

Income Tax Provision (Benefit)

Our income tax provision during fiscal year 2013 was $0.2 million. Our income tax benefit for fiscal year 2012 was $0.3 million. During fiscal 2011, we had an income tax provision of $0.5 million. The effective income tax rates for continuing operations during fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, were 24.9%, (4.37%), and 19.1%, respectively. The difference between the effective tax rates as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% during 2013 and 2012 and 35% during fiscal 2011, resulted from our geographical distribution of taxable income or losses, return to provisions adjustments, the release of income tax reserves for uncertain tax positions, changes in the amount of foreign earnings considered to be permanently reinvested, and changes in valuation allowance. There were no changes in judgment during the fiscal year end regarding the beginning-of-year valuation allowance which would require a benefit to be excluded from the annual effective tax rate and allocated to the interim period.

As of June 1, 2013, we had no domestic federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards. Domestic state NOL carryforwards amounted to approximately $2.3 million. Foreign NOL carryforwards totaled approximately $0.8 million with various or indefinite expiration dates. We also had no alternative minimum tax credit carryforward or foreign tax credit carryforwards as of June 1, 2013. The domestic federal NOL and foreign tax credit generated in fiscal 2013 are expected to be carried back to prior tax years.

Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets. A significant component of objective evidence evaluated was the cumulative income of loss incurred in each jurisdiction over the three-year period ended June 1, 2013. On the basis of this evaluation, as of June 1, 2013, a valuation allowance of $7.5 million has been recorded to record only the portion of the deferred tax asset that more likely than not will be realized. The valuation allowance relates to deferred tax assets in jurisdictions where cumulative losses have been incurred, and domestic state NOL carryforwards related to states where the utilization of NOLs have been suspended. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced or increased, or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight may be given to subjective evidence such as our projections for growth.

Our future U.S. federal statutory tax rate is expected to be closer to 34%, our state effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 3.8%, and our foreign effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 26%.

Income taxes paid, including foreign estimated tax payments, were $1.7 million, $40.1 million, and $3.4 million during fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

We have historically determined that certain undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to the extent of cash available will be repatriated to the U.S., and accordingly, we have provided a deferred tax liability totaling $6.8 million and $7.6 million as of June 1, 2013 and June 2, 2012, respectively, on foreign earnings of $42.6 million. In addition, as of June 1, 2013, $36.9 million of cumulative positive earnings of some of our foreign subsidiaries are still considered permanently reinvested pursuant to ASC 740-30, Income Taxes - Other Considerations or Special Areas (“ASC 740-30”). Due to various tax attributes that are constantly changing, it is not practical to determine what, if any, tax liability might exist if such earnings were to be repatriated.

In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. Generally, years prior to fiscal 2005 are closed for examination under the statute of limitation for U.S. federal, state or local, or non-U.S. tax jurisdictions. During fiscal 2013, we completed federal audits in the U.S. for fiscal 2009, 2010, and 2011. Our primary foreign tax jurisdictions are Germany and the Netherlands. We have tax years open in Germany and the Netherlands beginning in fiscal 2007.

Discontinued Operations

Arrow Transaction

On March 1, 2011, we completed the sale of the assets primarily used or held for use in, and certain liabilities of, our RFPD division, as well as certain other Company assets, including our information technology assets, to Arrow in exchange for $238.8 million, which included an estimated pre-closing working capital adjustment of approximately $27.0 million. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, we recorded a working capital adjustment of $4.2 million in our results from discontinued operations. During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we paid Arrow $3.9 million to settle the working capital adjustment.

Following the Transaction, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors granted cash bonus compensation to certain executive officers and former employees in recognition of their efforts for successfully completing the Transaction. The cash bonus compensation amount awarded was approximately $3.8 million, and was recorded as expense from discontinued operations during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.

To help facilitate the transition of RFPD to Arrow, we agreed to provide certain transitional services to Arrow such as financial support services, warehouse services, and access to facilities in accordance with the terms of the Transition Services Agreement. Arrow also agreed to provide certain transitional services such as information technology services, warehouse services, and access to facilities and equipment in accordance with the terms of the Transition Services Agreement. The duration of the transitional services were less than one year from March 1, 2011, except for the information technology services which is three years. In addition, we entered into a Manufacturing Agreement with Arrow, in connection with the Transaction, for a term of three years. Pursuant to the Manufacturing Agreement, we agreed to manufacture certain products for Arrow.

The Transition Services Agreement, which commenced on March 1, 2011, and ended on March 1, 2012, allowed us to exert very limited influence over Arrow’s operating and financial policies. The continuing cash flows related to our Transition Services Agreement as well as the Manufacturing Agreement, are insignificant. We believe it is appropriate to include fees and associated costs with the Transition Services Agreement that relate to financial support, certain facilities, and certain warehouse services in discontinued operations as they relate specifically to RFPD. We further believe it is appropriate to treat the revenue and costs associated with the Manufacturing Agreement as discontinued operations as it relates specifically to RFPD.

In accordance with ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, entities are permitted but not required to separately disclose, either in the statement of cash flows or footnotes to the financial statements, cash flows pertaining to discontinued operations. Entities that do not present separate operating cash flows information related to discontinued operations must do so consistently for all periods presented, which may include periods long after the sale or liquidation of the operation. We did not have cash balances that were specific to RFPD and elected not to present separate cash flows from discontinued operations on our statement of cash flows.

Assets and liabilities classified as discontinued operations on our consolidated balance sheets as of June 1, 2013, and June 2, 2012, include the following (in thousands):

(2)

Included in long-term income tax liabilties as of June 1, 2012, is the reserve for uncertain tax positions of $1.4 million.

In accordance with ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, entities are permitted but not required to separately disclose, either in the statement of cash flows or footnotes to the financial statements, cash flows pertaining to discontinued operations. Entities that do not present separate operating cash flow information related to discontinued operations must do so consistently for all periods presented, which may include periods long after the sale or liquidation of the operation.

LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL POSITION, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our growth and cash needs have been primarily financed through income from operations and the proceeds from the sale of RFPD during fiscal 2011.

Cash and cash equivalents were $102.0 million at June 1, 2013. In addition, CD’s and time deposits, classified as short-term investments were $38.9 million and long-term investments were $5.5 million including equity securities of $0.4 million. Cash and investments at June 1, 2013, consisted of $81.7 million in North America, $22.1 million in Europe, $1.2 million in Latin America, and $41.0 million in Asia/Pacific.

At June 2, 2012, cash and cash equivalents were $43.9 million at June 2, 2012. In addition, CD’s and time deposits classified as short-term investments were $105.0 million and long-term investments were $10.7 million, including equity securities of $0.4 million. Cash and investments at June 2, 2012, consisted of $94.3 million in North America, $20.7 million in Europe, $0.7 million in Latin America, and $43.5 million in Asia/Pacific.

Cash Flows from Discontinued Operations

In accordance with ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, entities are permitted but not required to separately disclose, either in the statement of cash flows or footnotes to the financial statements, cash flows pertaining to discontinued operations. Entities that do not present separate operating cash flow information related to discontinued operations must do so consistently for all periods presented, which may include periods long after the sale or liquidation of the operation.

We believe we will continue to have sufficient liquidity to fund our future growth strategies for our remaining business in the foreseeable future.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The cash flow from operating activities primarily resulted from our net income, adjusted for non-cash items, and changes in our operating assets and liabilities.

Operating activities, which include our discontinued operations, provided $8.6 million of cash during fiscal 2013. We had net income of $1.2 million during fiscal 2013, which included non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.6 million associated with the issuance of stock option awards primarily to our directors and officers and depreciation and amortization expense of $1.1 million associated with our property and equipment as well as amortization of our intangible assets. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities, net of effects of acquired businesses, provided $7.4 million of cash during fiscal 2013, due primarily to the decrease in inventory of $2.5 million, decrease in our accounts receivable of $1.8 million, partially offset by an increase to our prepaid expenses of $0.3 million. The decrease in our inventory was the result of reduced inventory purchases during fiscal 2013 due to the decline in net sales. The decrease in our receivables of $1.8 million was due primarily to the improvement in our day sales outstanding and lower sales volume. The increase in prepaid expenses of $0.3 million was due primarily to the renewal of our liability insurance coverage.

Cash used in operating activities, including our discontinued operations, during fiscal 2012 was $48.7 million. The $48.7 million of cash used in operating activities primarily reflects a decrease of $50.1 million in accrued liabilities, a $5.2 million decrease in long-term tax liabilities, a $6.6 million increase in income tax receivable, and an increase of $4.9 million in inventory, offset by a $5.1 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets. The $50.1 million decrease in accrued liabilities, excluding the impact of foreign exchange of $0.8 million, was due primarily to our tax payment related to the sale of RFPD during fiscal 2012. The $5.2 million decrease in long-term tax liabilities, excluding the impact of foreign exchange of $0.3 million, relates primarily to adjustments to our deferred tax liabilities as a result of changes to the amounts of permanently reinvested foreign earnings. The $6.6 million in income tax receivable relates to an overpayment in our estimated tax during fiscal 2012. The $4.9 million in inventory, excluding the impact of foreign exchange of $1.3 million, was due primarily to increased purchasing to support future sales growth. The $5.1 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets, excluding the impact of foreign exchange of less than $0.1 million, was due primarily to the final payment received of $4.2 million, from Arrow for the sale of RFPD.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

The cash flow from investing activities has consisted primarily of purchases and maturities of investments and capital expenditures.

Cash provided by investing activities during fiscal 2013, included proceeds from the maturities of investments of $154.2 million, offset by the purchase of investments of $82.9 million, $2.6 million for the acquisition of D and C, and $1.6 million in capital expenditures.

Net cash used in investing activities of $49.4 million during fiscal 2012, was due primarily to the purchase of $423.6 million in time deposits and CDs and $2.3 million for the acquisition of Powerlink, offset by $376.6 million in proceeds from time deposits and CDs.

Our purchases and proceeds from investments consist of time deposits and CDs. Purchasing of future investments may vary from period to period due to interest and foreign currency exchange rates.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The cash flow from financing activities primarily consists of repurchases of common stock and cash dividends paid.

Cash used in financing activities of $18.4 million during fiscal 2013, resulted from $15.0 million of cash used to repurchase common stock and $3.6 million in dividends paid, offset by $0.2 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock. The repurchase of common stock relates to our share repurchase authorizations. Cash dividends paid of $3.6 million were approved by the Board of Directors on July 23, 2012, October 8, 2012, January 8, 2013, and April 9, 2013.

Cash used in financing activities of $26.6 million during fiscal 2012, was due primarily to $24.0 million related to the repurchases of common stock and $3.3 million in cash dividends paid, partially offset by $0.8 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock. The repurchase of common stock relates to our share repurchase authorizations. Cash dividends paid of $2.5 million were approved by the Board of Directors on July 19, 2011, October 4, 2011, January 10, 2012, and April 10, 2012.

Dividend payments during fiscal 2013 were approximately $3.6 million. All future payments of dividends are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Dividend payments will depend on earnings, capital requirements, operating conditions, and such other factors that the Board may deem relevant.

Contractual Obligations

Contractual obligations by expiration period are presented in the table below as of June 1, 2013 (in thousands):


	Less than 1 year		1 - 3 years		3 - 5 years		More than 5 years		Total
Lease obligations ⁽¹⁾	$	160	$	1,928	$	402	$	708	$	3,198
IT services ⁽²⁾		1,404		—		—		—		1,404

Total	$	1,564	$	1,928	$	402	$	708	$	4,602

(1)

Lease obligations are related to certain warehouse and office facilities under non-cancelable operating leases.

(2)

IT services are related to the Transaction.

We believe that the existing sources of liquidity, including current cash, will provide sufficient resources to meet known capital requirements and working capital needs for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2014.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management continuously evaluates its critical accounting policies and estimates, including the allowance for doubtful accounts, revenue recognition, inventory obsolescence, goodwill and other intangible assets, loss contingencies, and income taxes. Management bases the estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, however, actual results could differ from those estimates.

The policies discussed below are considered by management to be critical to understanding our financial position and the results of operations. Their application involves significant judgments and estimates in preparation of our consolidated financial statements. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop exactly as forecasted, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Our allowance for doubtful accounts includes estimated losses that result from uncollectible receivables. The estimates are influenced by the following: continuing credit evaluation of customers’ financial conditions; aging of receivables, individually and in the aggregate; a large number of customers which are widely dispersed across geographic areas; collectability and delinquency history by geographic area; and the fact that no single customer accounts for more than 10% of net sales. Significant changes in one or more of these considerations may require adjustments affecting net income and net carrying value of accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $1.1 million as of June 1, 2013, and June 2, 2012.

Revenue Recognition

Our product sales are recognized as revenue upon shipment, when title passes to the customer, when delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, and when collectability is reasonably assured. We also record estimated discounts and returns based on our historical experience. Our products are often manufactured to meet the specific design needs of our customers’ applications. Our engineers work closely with customers to ensure that our products will meet their needs. Our customers are under no obligation to compensate us for designing the products we sell.

In the limited cases where remaining performance obligations exist after delivery of the product, the obligation relative to the unit of accounting is inconsequential or perfunctory and is not essential to the functionality of the delivered product. This conclusion was reached based on the following facts: the timing of any remaining obligation is agreed upon with the customer, which in most cases, is performed immediately after the delivery of the product; the cost and time involved to complete the remaining obligation is insignificant in relation to the item sold, and the costs and time do not vary significantly; we have a demonstrated history of completing the remaining obligations timely; and finally, failure to complete the remaining obligation does not enable the customer to receive a full or partial refund of the product or service, and the timing of the payment for the product is not contingent upon completion of remaining performance obligations, if any.

Inventories

Our worldwide inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, generally using a weighted-average cost method. Our inventories included approximately $31.6 million of finished goods and $2.4 million of raw materials and work-in-progress as of June 1, 2013, as compared to approximately $31.8 million of finished goods and $2.9 million of raw materials and work-in-progress as of June 2, 2012.

Provisions for obsolete or slow moving inventories are recorded based upon regular analysis of stock rotation privileges, obsolescence, the exiting of certain market segments, and assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If future demand, changes in the industry, or market conditions differ from management’s estimates, additional provisions may be necessary.

We recorded provisions to our inventory reserves of $0.4 million, $0.4 million, and $1.1 million during fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively, which were included in cost of sales. The provisions were principally for obsolete and slow moving parts. The parts were written down to estimated realizable value.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is initially recorded based on the premium paid for acquisitions and is subsequently tested for impairment. We test goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances indicates an impairment may have occurred, such as a significant adverse change in the business climate, loss of key personnel or a decision to sell or dispose of a reporting unit. As of the fiscal year ended June 1, 2013, our goodwill balance was $1.5 million and represents the premium we paid for Powerlink of $1.3 million during our second quarter of fiscal 2012, adjusted for foreign currency translation, and the premium we paid for D and C of $0.2 million during our second quarter of fiscal 2013.

During the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, our goodwill balances are reviewed for impairment through the application of a fair-value based test, using the third quarter as the measurement date. In performing our annual review of goodwill balances for impairment, we estimate the fair value of each of our reporting units based primarily on projected future operating results, discounted cash flows, and other assumptions. Projected future operating results and cash flows used for valuation purposes may reflect considerable improvements relative to historical periods with respect to, among other things, revenue growth and operating margins. Although we believe our projected future operating results and cash flows and related estimates regarding fair values are based on reasonable assumptions, historically, projected operating results and cash flows have not always been achieved. In accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other”, if indicators of impairment are deemed to be present, we would perform an interim impairment test and any resulting impairment loss would be charged to expense in the period identified.

The results of our goodwill impairment tests as of March 2, 2013, indicated no goodwill impairment as estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded the carrying value.

Intangible assets are initially recorded at their fair market values determined on quoted market prices in active markets, if available, or recognized valuation models. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.

Our intangible assets represent the fair value for trade name, customer relationships, and non-compete agreements acquired in connection with the acquisition of Powerlink during our second quarter of fiscal 2012 and D and C acquired during our second quarter of fiscal 2013.

Loss Contingencies

We accrue a liability for loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of possible loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. If we determine that there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred, we will include a disclosure describing the contingency.

Income Taxes

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and determine the need for a valuation allowance based on a number of factors, including both positive and negative evidence. These factors include historical taxable income or loss, projected future taxable income or loss, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences, and the implementation of tax planning strategies. In circumstances where we, or any of our affiliates, have incurred three years of cumulative losses which constitute significant negative evidence, positive evidence of equal or greater significance is needed to overcome the negative evidence before a tax benefit is recognized for deductible temporary differences and loss carryforwards. See Note 10 “Income Taxes” of the notes to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.

New Accounting Pronouncements

During December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassification of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. The amendments to the Codification in ASU No. 2011-12 are effective at the same time as the amendments in ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, so that entities will not be required to comply with the presentation requirements in ASU No. 2011-05 that ASU No. 2011-12 is deferring. In order to defer only those changes in ASU No. 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments, the paragraphs in ASU No. 2011-12 supersede certain pending paragraphs in ASU No. 2011-05. The amendments are being made to allow the FASB time to re-deliberate whether to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of the reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented. While the FASB is considering the operational concerns about the presentation requirements for reclassification adjustments and the needs of financial statement users for additional information about reclassification adjustments, entities should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before ASU No. 2011-05. All other requirements in ASU No. 2011-05 are not affected by ASU No. 2011-12, including the requirement to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. Public entities should apply these requirements for fiscal years, and interim periods with those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and as such, we have adopted ASU No. 2011-05 during our third quarter of fiscal 2012.

During November 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, (ASU Update No. 2011-11). ASU Update No. 2011-11, requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. Offsetting, otherwise known as netting, is the presentation of assets and liabilities as a single net amount in the statement of financial position (balance sheet). An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. We will be adopting ASU Update No. 2011-11 during our first quarter of fiscal 2014, and the adoption will not have a material impact on our financial results.

components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with the total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU Update No. 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments to the Codification in the ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. ASU Update No. 2011-05 should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim period within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and as such, we adopted ASC Update No. 2011-05 during our third quarter of fiscal 2012.

ITEM 7A.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Risk Management and Market Sensitive Financial Instruments

We are exposed to many different market risks with the various industries we serve. The primary financial risk we are exposed to is foreign currency exchange, as certain operations, assets, and liabilities of ours are denominated in foreign currencies. We manage these risks through normal operating and financing activities.

The interpretation and analysis of these disclosures should not be considered in isolation since such variances in exchange rates would likely influence other economic factors. Such factors, which are not readily quantifiable, would likely also affect our operations. Additional disclosure regarding various market risks are set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on this Form 10-K.

Foreign Currency Exposure

Even though we take into account current foreign currency exchange rates at the time an order is taken, our financial statements denominated in a non-U.S. functional currency are subject to foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Our foreign denominated assets and liabilities are cash, accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and intercompany receivables and payables, as we conduct business in countries of the European Union, Asia/Pacific and, to a lesser extent, Canada and Latin America. We could manage foreign exchange exposures by using currency clauses in sales contracts, local debt to offset asset exposures, and forward contracts to hedge significant transactions. We have not entered into any forward contracts in fiscal 2013, fiscal 2012, or fiscal 2011.

Had the U.S. dollar changed unfavorably 10% against various foreign currencies, foreign denominated net sales would have been lower by an estimated $14.1 million during fiscal 2013, an estimated $15.8 million during fiscal 2012, and an estimated $15.7 million during fiscal 2011. Total assets would have declined by an estimated $26.1 million as of the fiscal year ended June 1, 2013, and an estimated $26.7 million as of the fiscal year ended June 2, 2012, while the total liabilities would have decreased by an estimated $0.9 million as of the fiscal year ended June 1, 2013, and an estimated $0.5 million as of the fiscal year ended June 2, 2012.

The interpretation and analysis of these disclosures should not be considered in isolation since such variances in exchanges rates would likely influence other economic factors. Such factors, which are not readily quantifiable, would likely also affect our operations.

These products are used to control, switch or amplify electrical power signals, or used as display devices in a variety of industrial, commercial, medical, and communication applications.

2.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for all fiscal years presented.

The consolidated financial statements include our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Our financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 28, 2011, have been restated to reflect a misstatement. Refer to Note 3 “Restatement” for additional discussion on this misstatement.

Our fiscal year 2013 began on June 3, 2012, and ended on June 1, 2013. Unless otherwise noted, all references to a particular year in this document shall mean our fiscal year.

3.	RESTATEMENT

During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, in connection with an ongoing IRS examination, we determined that a deduction taken on our fiscal 2006 federal tax return was taken in error. As a result, the tax impact of the Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) carry forward from fiscal 2006 was overstated by approximately $2.1 million. The NOL from fiscal 2006 was fully utilized and the reversal of all associated valuation allowances was recorded in our results from discontinued operations during fiscal 2011. The deferred tax asset related to the NOL was fully reserved prior to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or “Commission”) Staff Accounting Bulletin 108 (“SAB 108”) provides guidance on quantifying and evaluating the materiality of errors. SAB 108 requires that a company considers the “iron curtain” and the “rollover” approach when quantifying misstatement amounts. Under the rollover approach, the error is quantified as the amount by which the current year income statement is misstated. The iron curtain approach quantifies the error using both a balance sheet and an income statement approach and evaluates whether either of these approaches results in quantifying a misstatement that is material, considering all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors.

Materiality was also assessed from a qualitative perspective based on whether it was probable that the judgment of a reasonable person relying upon the report would have been changed or influenced by the inclusion or correction of the item. We do not believe the effect of this error would have changed or influenced the judgment of a reasonable person.

We performed an analysis of this error using both the rollover and iron curtain methods and concluded that this error was material to our fiscal 2012 financial statements and immaterial to our fiscal 2011 financial statements. Accordingly, we restated our fiscal 2011 consolidated statement of comprehensive income to correct the error. This error did not impact the financial statements prior to fiscal 2011, as the NOL was fully reserved prior to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.

During fiscal 2012, the effect on retained earnings and net income were as follows (in thousands):

4.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management continuously evaluates its critical accounting policies and estimates, including the allowance for doubtful accounts, revenue recognition, inventory obsolescence, goodwill and other intangible assets, loss contingencies, and income taxes. Management bases the estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, however, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments: The fair values of financial instruments are determined based on quoted market prices and market interest rates as of the end of the reporting period. Our financial instruments include investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. The fair values of these financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values at June 1, 2013, and June 2, 2012.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: We consider short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates, and that have a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate the fair market value of these assets.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: Our allowance for doubtful accounts includes estimated losses that result from uncollectible receivables. The estimates are influenced by the following: continuing credit evaluation of customers’ financial conditions; aging of receivables, individually and in the aggregate; a large number of customers which are widely dispersed across geographic areas; collectability and delinquency history by geographic area; and the fact that no single customer accounts for more than 10% of net sales. Significant changes in one or more of these considerations may require adjustments affecting net income and net carrying value of accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $1.1 million as of June 1, 2013, and $1.1 million as of June 2, 2012.

Inventories: Our worldwide inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, generally using a weighted-average cost method. Our inventories include approximately $31.6 million of finished goods and $2.4 million of raw materials and work-in-progress as of June 1, 2013, as compared to approximately $31.8 million of finished goods and $2.9 million of raw materials and work-in-progress as of June 2, 2012.

Provisions for obsolete or slow moving inventories are recorded based upon regular analysis of stock rotation privileges, obsolescence, the exiting of certain markets, and assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If future demand, changes in the industry, or market conditions differ from management’s estimates, additional provisions may be necessary.

We recorded provisions to our inventory reserves of $0.4 million, $0.4 million, and $1.1 million during fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively, which were included in cost of sales from continuing operations. The provisions were principally for obsolete and slow moving parts. The parts were written down to estimated realizable value.

Income Taxes: We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and determine the need for a valuation allowance based on a number of factors, including both positive and negative evidence. These factors include historical taxable income or loss, projected future taxable income or loss, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences, and the implementation of tax planning strategies. In circumstances where we, or any of our affiliates, have incurred three years of cumulative losses which constitute significant negative evidence, positive evidence of equal or greater significance is needed to overcome the negative evidence before a tax benefit is recognized for deductible temporary differences and loss carryforwards.

Investments: During fiscal 2013, we invested in time deposits and certificate of deposits (“CD”) in the amount of $44.0 million. Of this, $39.0 million mature in less than twelve months and $5.0 million mature in greater than twelve months. As of June 2, 2012, we had approximately $115.3 million invested in time deposits and CD’s. Of this, $105.0 million matures in less than twelve months and $10.3 million mature in greater than twelve months. The fair value of these investments is the face value of each time deposit and CD.

We also have investments in equity securities, all of which are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at their fair value based on quoted market prices. Our investments, which are included in non-current assets, had a carrying amount of $0.4 million at June 1, 2013, and $0.4 million at June 2, 2012. Proceeds from the sale of securities were $0.2 million during fiscal 2013 and $0.2 million during fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011. We reinvested proceeds from the sale of securities, and the cost of the equity securities sold was based on a specific identification method. Gross realized gains and losses on those sales were less than $0.1 million during fiscal 2013 and less than $0.1 million during fiscal 2012 and fiscal

2011. Net unrealized holding losses during fiscal 2013 were less than $0.1 million, and during fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, were $0.1 million or less, and have been included in accumulated comprehensive income (loss) during its respective fiscal year.

Discontinued Operations: In accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations (“ASC 205-20”), we reported the financial results of RFPD as a discontinued operation. Refer to Note 5 “Discontinued Operations” for additional discussion on the sale of RFPD.

Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Improvements and replacements are capitalized while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for depreciation are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. Depreciation expense was approximately $1.0 million, $1.1 million, and $1.2 million during fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. Property, plant and equipment consist of the following (in thousands):

Buildings and improvements		10 - 30 years
Computer and communications equipment		3 - 10 years
Machinery and other equipment		3 - 10 years

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill is initially recorded based on the premium paid for acquisitions and is subsequently tested for impairment. We test goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances indicates an impairment may have occurred, such as a significant adverse change in the business climate, loss of key personnel or a decision to sell or dispose of a reporting unit. As of the fiscal year ended June 1, 2013, our goodwill balance was $1.5 million and represents the premium we paid for Powerlink of $1.3 million during our second quarter of fiscal 2012, adjusted for foreign currency translation, and the premium we paid for D and C of $0.2 million during our second quarter of fiscal 2013.

considerable improvements relative to historical periods with respect to, among other things, revenue growth and operating margins. Although we believe our projected future operating results and cash flows and related estimates regarding fair values are based on reasonable assumptions, historically, projected operating results and cash flows have not always been achieved. In accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other”, if indicators of impairment are deemed to be present, we would perform an interim impairment test and any resulting impairment loss would be charged to expense in the period identified.

The results of our goodwill impairment tests as of March 2, 2013 and March 1, 2012, indicated no goodwill impairment as estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded the carrying value.

Our intangible assets represent the fair value for customer relationships acquired in connection with the acquisition of Powerlink during our second quarter of fiscal 2012 and D and C acquired during second quarter of fiscal 2013.

Accrued Liabilities: Accrued liabilities consist of the following (in thousands):


	June 1, 2013		June 2, 2012

Compensation and payroll taxes	$	4,138	$	3,442
Income taxes		1,191		1,196
Professional fees		811		603
Other accrued expenses		3,426		3,225

Accrued Liabilities	$	9,566	$	8,466

Warranties: We offer warranties for the limited number of specific products we manufacture. We also provide extended warranties for some products we sell that lengthen the period of coverage specified in the manufacturer’s original warranty. Our warranty terms generally range from one to three years.

We estimate the cost to perform under the warranty obligation and recognize this estimated cost at the time of the related product sale. We record expense related to our warranty obligations as cost of sales in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Each quarter, we assess actual warranty costs incurred on a product-by-product basis and compare the warranty costs to our estimated warranty obligation. With respect to new products, estimates are based generally on knowledge of the products, the extended warranty period, and warranty experience.

Warranty reserves are established for costs that are expected to be incurred after the sale and delivery of products under warranty. Warranty reserves are included in accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. The warranty reserves are determined based on known product failures, historical experience, and other available evidence.

Changes in the warranty reserve during fiscal 2013 and 2012 were as follows (in thousands):


	Warranty Reserve
Balance at May 28, 2011	$	138
Accruals for products sold		328

Foreign exchange		—

Balance at June 1, 2013	$	188

Other Non-Current Liabilities: Other non-current liabilities of $1.3 million at June 1, 2013, and $1.2 million at June 2, 2012, primarily represent employee-benefits obligations in various non-US locations.

Loss Contingencies: We accrue a liability for loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of possible loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. If we determine that there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred, we will include a disclosure describing the contingency.

Share-Based Compensation: We measure and recognize compensation cost at fair value for all share-based payments, including stock options. We estimate fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires assumptions such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life, and dividends. Compensation cost is recognized using a graded-vesting schedule over the applicable vesting period, or date on which retirement eligibility is achieved, if shorter (non-substantive vesting period approach). Share-based compensation expense totaled approximately $0.6 million during fiscal 2013, $0.5 million during fiscal 2012, and $1.2 million during fiscal 2011.

Stock options granted to members of the Board of Directors generally vest immediately and stock options granted to employees generally vest over a period of five years and have contractual terms to exercise of 10 years. A summary of stock option activity is as follows (in thousands, except option prices and years):


	Number of Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life		Aggregate Intrinsic Value

There were 31,000 stock options exercised during fiscal 2013, with cash received of $0.2 million. The total intrinsic value of options exercised totaled $0.1 million during fiscal 2013, $0.6 million during fiscal 2012, and $2.8 million during fiscal 2011. The weighted average fair value of stock option grants was $4.75 during fiscal 2013, $5.83 during fiscal 2012, and $6.72 during fiscal 2011. As of June 1, 2013, total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock options was approximately $2.1 million which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average period of five years. The total grant date fair value of stock options vested during fiscal 2013 was $0.7 million.

The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:


	Fiscal Year Ended
	June 1, 2013			June 2, 2012			May 28, 2011
Expected volatility		50.79	%		53.91	%		54.56	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.12	%		1.52	%		2.73	%
Expected lives (years)		6.37			6.29			6.32
Annual cash dividend	$	0.24		$	0.20		$	0.11

The expected volatility assumptions are based on historical experience. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of a treasury note with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the stock option.

The expected stock option life assumption is based on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107 (“SAB No. 107”). On December 21, 2007, the SEC issued SAB No. 110 stating that they will continue to accept SAB No. 107, past the original expiration date of December 31, 2007. For stock options granted during fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011, we believe that our historical stock option experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. We utilized the Safe Harbor option, or Simplified Method, to determine the expected term of these options in accordance with SAB No. 107 for options granted. We intend to continue to utilize the Simplified Method for future grants in accordance with SAB No. 110 until such time that we believe that our historical stock option experience will provide a reasonable basis to estimate an expected term.

Compensation effects arising from issuing stock awards have been charged against income and recorded as additional paid-in-capital in the consolidated statements of stockholder’s equity and were immaterial during fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011.

The Employees’ 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 750,000 shares as incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, or stock awards. Under this plan, 444,000 shares are reserved for future issuance. The Plan authorizes the granting of stock options at the fair market value at the date of grant. Generally, these options become exercisable over five years and expire up to 10 years from the date of grant.

On June 16, 2005, our Board of Directors adopted the 2006 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors which authorizes the issuance of up to 400,000 shares as non-qualified stock options. Under this plan, 150,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for future issuance relating to stock options exercisable based on the passage of time. Each option is exercisable over a period of time from its date of grant at the market value on the grant date and expires after 10 years and one month.

Foreign Currency Translation: Balance sheet items for our foreign entities, included in our consolidated balance sheet are translated into U.S. dollars at end-of-period spot rates. Gains and losses resulting from translation of foreign subsidiary financial statements are credited or charged directly to accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss), a component of stockholders’ equity. Revenues and expenses are translated at the current rate on the date of the transaction. Gains and losses resulting from

foreign currency transactions are included in income. Foreign currency translation reflected in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income was a loss of $0.8 million during fiscal 2013, a gain of less than $0.1 million during fiscal 2012, and a loss of $0.6 million during fiscal 2011.

Revenue Recognition: Our product sales are recognized as revenue upon shipment, when title passes to the customer, when delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, and when collectability is reasonably assured. We also record estimated discounts and returns based on our historical experience. Our products are often manufactured to meet the specific design needs of our customers’ applications. Our engineers work closely with customers to ensure that our products will meet their needs. Our customers are under no obligation to compensate us for designing the products we sell.

Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs: Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are reported as revenue and the related costs are reported as a component of cost of sales.

Earnings per Share: We have authorized 30,000,000 shares of common stock, 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Class B common stock has 10 votes per share and has transferability restrictions; however, Class B common stock may be converted into common stock on a share-for-share basis at any time. With respect to dividends and distributions, shares of common stock and Class B common stock rank equally and have the same rights, except that Class B common stock cash dividends are limited to 90% of the amount of Class A common stock cash dividends.

In accordance with ASC 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”), our Class B common stock is considered a participating security requiring the use of the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. The two-class computation method for each period reflects the cash dividends paid per share for each class of stock, plus the amount of allocated undistributed earnings per share computed using the participation percentage which reflects the dividend rights of each class of stock. Basic and diluted earnings per share were computed using the two-class method as prescribed in ASC 260. The shares of Class B common stock are considered to be participating convertible securities since the shares of Class B common stock are convertible on a share-for-share basis into shares of common stock and may participate in dividends with common stock according to a predetermined formula which is 90% of the amount of Class A common stock cash dividends.

The per share amounts presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income are based on the following (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):

New Accounting Pronouncements: During December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassification of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. The amendments to the Codification in ASU No. 2011-12 are effective at the same time as the amendments in ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, so that entities will not be required to comply with the presentation requirements in ASU No. 2011-05 that ASU No. 2011-12 is deferring. In order to defer only those changes in ASU No. 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments, the paragraphs in ASU No. 2011-12 supersede certain pending paragraphs in ASU No. 2011-05. The amendments are being made to allow the FASB time to re-deliberate whether to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of the reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented. While the FASB is considering the operational concerns about the presentation requirements for reclassification adjustments and the needs of financial statement users for additional information about reclassification adjustments, entities should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before ASU No. 2011-05. All other requirements in ASU No. 2011-05 are not affected by ASU No. 2011-12, including the requirement to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. Public entities should apply these requirements for fiscal years, and interim periods with those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and as such, we have adopted ASU No. 2011-05 during our third quarter of fiscal 2012.

During May 2011, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income, (“ASC Update No. 2011-05”). This amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to allow an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with the total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU Update No. 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments to the Codification in the ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. ASU Update No. 2011-05 should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim period within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and as such, we adopted ASC Update No. 2011-05 during our third quarter of fiscal 2012.

5.	DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Arrow Transaction

The Transition Services Agreement, which commenced on March 1, 2011, and ended on March 1, 2012, allowed us to exert very limited influence over Arrow’s operating and financial policies. The continuing cash flows related to our Transition Services Agreement as well as the Manufacturing Agreement are insignificant. We believe it is appropriate to include fees and associated costs with the Transition Services Agreement that relate to financial support, certain facilities, and certain warehouse services in discontinued operations as they relate specifically to RFPD. We further believe it is appropriate to treat the revenue and costs associated with the Manufacturing Agreement as discontinued operations as it relates specifically to RFPD.

Financial Summary - Discontinued Operations

Summary financial results for fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011 are presented in the following table (in thousands):

In accordance with ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, entities are permitted but not required to separately disclose, either in the statement of cash flows or footnotes to the financial statements, cash flows pertaining to discontinued operations. Entities that do not present separate operating cash flow information related to discontinued operations must do so consistently for all periods presented, which may include periods long after the sale or liquidation of the operation.

6.	ACQUISITIONS

On September 5, 2011, we acquired the assets of Powerlink Specialist Electronics Support Limited (“Powerlink”) for approximately $2.3 million, including a working capital adjustment of $0.2 million related to payables of approximately $0.2 million that were paid by Powerlink prior to the close. Powerlink, a UK-based technical service company with locations in London and Dubai, services traveling wave tube (“TWT”) amplifiers and related equipment for the Satellite Communications market throughout Europe and the Middle East. This acquisition positions us to provide cost-effective service of microwave and power grid tube equipment for communications, industrial, military, and medical users around the world.

The allocation of the final purchase price, recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2012, included $0.4 million of trade receivables, $0.2 million of inventory, $0.4 million of other intangibles, and $1.4 million of goodwill, based on foreign currency exchange rates as of September 5, 2011. The goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair market value of the identifiable net assets we acquired. Pro forma financial information is not presented due to immateriality.

The allocation of the final purchase price was updated and recorded during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, included $0.2 million of trade receivables, $1.5 million of inventory, $0.7 million of

intangibles, and $0.2 million of goodwill. The purchase price is preliminary and subject to change based on the completion of a valuation of the respective assets, which include intangible assets and liabilities. Pro forma financial information is not presented due to immateriality.

7.	GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The results of our goodwill impairment tests as of March 2, 2013, and March 1, 2012, indicated no goodwill impairment as estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded the carrying value.

Changes in the carrying value of goodwill are as follows (in thousands):

8.	LEASE OBLIGATIONS, OTHER COMMITMENTS, AND CONTINGENCIES

We lease certain warehouse and office facilities and office equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. Rent expense from continuing operations for fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011 was $1.6 million, $1.6 million, and $2.7 million, respectively. Under the terms of the Transaction, Arrow assumed many of our facility leases and we are sub-leasing space from Arrow. Our future lease commitments for minimum rentals, including common area maintenance charges and property taxes during the next five years have been adjusted to reflect the Transaction as follows (in thousands):

9.	INCOME TAXES

The components of income (loss) before income taxes are (in thousands):


	Fiscal Year Ended
	June 1, 2013			June 2, 2012		May 28, 2011
United States	$	(2,716	)	$	982	$	(947	)
Foreign		3,358			6,674		3,397

Income before income taxes	$	642		$	7,656	$	2,450

The provision for income taxes differs from income taxes computed at the federal statutory tax rate of 34% during fiscal 2013 and 2012 and 35% during fiscal 2011 as a result of the following items:


	Fiscal Year Ended
	June 1, 2013			June 2, 2012			May 28, 2011
Federal statutory rate		34.0	%		34.0	%		35.0	%
Effect of:
State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit		(14.5	)		0.4			(1.4	)
Foreign income inclusion		24.7			5.1			16.9
Foreign taxes at other rates		(44.6	)		(17.5	)		(13.0	)
Other permanent tax differences		3.2			1.2			(3.9	)
Tax reserves		(23.5	)		(1.6	)		(14.5	)
Additional U.S. tax on undistributed foreign earnings		33.8			(25.4	)		—
Net increase in valuation allowance for deferred tax assets		18.1			—			—
Additional benefit for carryback of current year federal loss		(6.1	)		—			—
Other		(0.2	)		(0.3	)		—
Effective tax rate		24.9	%		(4.4	)%		19.1	%

The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% during fiscal 2013 due to our geographical distribution of taxable income or losses, the release of income tax reserves for uncertain tax positions, changes in the amount of foreign earnings considered to be permanently reinvested, and changes in valuation allowance. There were no changes in judgment during the fiscal year end regarding the beginning-of-year valuation allowance.

The provision (benefit) for income taxes consists of the following (in thousands):

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Our deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect continuing operations as of June 1, 2013 and June 2, 2012. Significant components are as follows (in thousands):


	Fiscal Year Ended
	June 1, 2013			June 2, 2012

Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets. A significant component of objective evidence evaluated was the cumulative income or loss incurred in each jurisdiction over the three-year period ended June 1, 2013. On the basis of this evaluation, as of June 1, 2013, a valuation allowance of $7.5 million has been established to record only the portion of the deferred tax asset that more likely than not will be realized. The valuation allowance relates to deferred tax assets in jurisdictions where cumulative losses have been incurred, and domestic state NOL carryforwards related to states where the utilization of NOLs have been suspended. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced or increased, or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight may be given to subjective evidence such as our projections for growth.

Income taxes paid, including foreign estimated tax payments, were $1.7 million, $40.1 million, and $3.4 million during fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

We have historically determined that certain undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to the extent of cash available will be repatriated to the U.S., and accordingly, we have provided a deferred tax liability totaling $6.8 million and $7.6 million as of June 1, 2013 and June 2, 2012, respectively, on foreign earnings of $42.6 million. In addition, as of June 1, 2013, $36.9 million of cumulative positive earnings of some of our foreign subsidiaries are still considered permanently reinvested pursuant to ASC 740-30, Income Taxes - Other Considerations or Special Areas (“ASC 740-30”). Due to various tax attributes that are continuously changing, it is not practical to determine what, if any, tax liability might exist if such earnings were to be repatriated.

The uncertain tax positions as of June 1, 2013 and June 2, 2012, totaled $0.03 million and $1.8 million, respectively. No unrecognized tax benefits would affect our effective tax rate if recognized. The following table summarizes the activity related to the unrecognized tax benefits (in thousands):


	Fiscal Year Ended
	June 1, 2013			June 2, 2012
Unrecognized tax benefits, beginning of period	$	1,750		$	2,034

Unrecognized tax benefits, end of period	$	32		$	1,750

Unrecognized tax benefits for continuing and discontinued operations are as follows (in thousands):


	Fiscal Year Ended

Continuing operations	$	17	$	358
Discontinuing operations		15		1,392

	$	32	$	1,750

We record penalties and interest relating to uncertain tax positions in the income tax expense line item within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability line in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of June 1, 2013 and June 2, 2012, we recorded a liability for interest and penalties of $0.04 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Given that unrecognized tax benefits are less than $0.1 million, it is not expected that there will be a change in the unrecognized tax benefits due to the expiration of various statutes of limitations within the next 12 months.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Employee Stock Purchase Plan: The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) provides substantially all employees an opportunity to purchase our common stock at 85% of the stock price at the end of the fiscal year. At June 1, 2013, the ESPP had no shares reserved for future issuance. The ESPP was not offered to our employees for fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011.

Employee Profit Sharing Plan: The employee profit sharing plan is a defined contribution profit sharing plan for employees. Annual contributions in cash are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The profit sharing plan has a 401(k) provision whereby we match 50% of employee contributions up to 4.0% of pay. Charges to expense for matching contributions to this plan were $0.2 million during fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively. There were no matching contributions during fiscal 2011.

Foreign employees are covered by a variety of government mandated programs.

Estimates of credit losses are recorded in the financial statements based on monthly reviews of outstanding accounts. Other primarily includes net sales not allocated to a specific geographical region, unabsorbed value-add costs, and other unallocated expenses.

12.

LITIGATION

We are involved in several pending judicial proceedings concerning matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of litigation is subject to uncertainties, based on information available at the time the financial statements were issued, we determined disclosure of contingencies relating to any of our pending judicial proceedings was not necessary because there was less than a reasonable possibility that a material loss had been incurred.

13.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists; therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

As of June 1, 2013, we held investments that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Our investments consist of time deposits and CDs, which face value is equal to fair value, and equity securities of publicly traded companies for which market prices are readily available.

Investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 as of June 1, 2013 and June 2, 2012, were as follows (in thousands):


	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Richardson Electronics, Ltd.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Richardson Electronics, Ltd. as of June 1, 2013 and June 2, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 1, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Richardson Electronics, Ltd. at June 1, 2013 and June 2, 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 1, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Richardson Electronics Ltd’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 1, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated July 26, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Richardson Electronics, Ltd.:

We have audited Richardson Electronics Ltd.’s, internal control over financial reporting as of June 1, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Richardson Electronics Ltd.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

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

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

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

In our opinion, Richardson Electronics, Ltd. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 1, 2013, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Richardson Electronics, Ltd. as of June 1, 2013 and June 2, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 1, 2013, of Richardson Electronics, Ltd., and our report dated July 26, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

ITEM 9A.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)	Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management of the Company, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of June 1, 2013. Disclosure controls and procedures are intended to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 1, 2013.

(b)	Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a deficiency in internal control over financial reporting that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

Under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 1, 2013, based on the framework in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on that assessment, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 1, 2013.

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 1, 2013, has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.

(c)	Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal year that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
