“Safe
Harbor” Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995
This
Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements that are subject to
numerous assumptions, risks or uncertainties. The Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words
such as “estimates,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends,”
“believes,” “seeks,” “may,” “will,” “should” or the negative versions of those
words and similar expressions, and by the context in which they are
used. Such statements, whether expressed or implied, are based upon
current expectations of the Company and speak only as of the date
made. Actual results could differ materially from those contained in
or implied by such forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of risks
and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not
limited to, the impact of competitive products and services, product demand and
market acceptance risks, potential costs associated with litigation and
regulatory compliance, reliance on key customers, financial difficulties
experienced by customers, the cyclical and seasonal nature of our business, the
adequacy of reserves and allowances for doubtful accounts, fluctuations in
operating results or costs, unexpected difficulties in integrating acquired
businesses, the ability to retain key employees of acquired businesses,
unfavorable economic and market conditions, the results of asset impairment
assessments and the other risk factors that are identified herein. In
addition to the factors described in this paragraph, the risk factors identified
in our Form 10-K and other filings the Company may make with the SEC constitute
risks and uncertainties that may affect the financial performance of the Company
and are incorporated herein by reference. The Company has no
obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events
or circumstances.

NOTES TO
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE
1: INTERIM CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for interim financial information, and rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the
opinion of Management, the interim financial statements include all normal
adjustments and disclosures necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial
position as of December 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the three
and six month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, and its cash flows for
the six month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. These statements should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes included in
the fiscal 2009 annual report. Financial information as of June 30,
2009 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial
statements.
NOTE
2: SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Consolidation:
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LSI Industries Inc.
(an Ohio corporation) and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly
owned. All intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue
Recognition:
Revenue
is recognized when title to goods and risk of loss have passed to the customer,
there is persuasive evidence of a purchase arrangement, delivery has occurred or
services have been rendered, and collectibility is reasonably
assured. Revenue is typically recognized at time of
shipment. In certain arrangements with customers, as is the case with
the sale of some of our solid-state LED (light emitting diode) video screens,
revenue is recognized upon customer acceptance of the video screen at the job
site. Sales are recorded net of estimated returns, rebates and
discounts. Amounts received from customers prior to the recognition of revenue
are accounted for as customer pre-payments and are included in accrued
expenses.
The
Company has four sources of revenue: revenue from product sales;
revenue from installation of products; service revenue generated from providing
integrated design, project and construction management, site engineering and
site permitting; and revenue from shipping and handling.
Product
revenue is recognized on product-only orders upon passing of title and risk of
loss, generally at time of shipment. However, product revenue related
to orders where the customer requires the Company to install the product is
recognized when the product is installed. Other than normal product
warranties or the possibility of installation
or post-shipment service, support and maintenance of certain solid state LED
video screens, billboards, or active digital signage, the Company has no
post-shipment responsibilities.
Installation
revenue is recognized when the products have been fully
installed. The Company is not always responsible for installation of
products it sells and has no post-installation responsibilities, other than
normal warranties.
Service
revenue from integrated design, project and construction management, and site
permitting is recognized when all products have been installed at each
individual retail site of the customer on a proportional performance
basis.
Shipping
and handling revenue coincides with the recognition of revenue from sale of the
product.
The
Company evaluates the appropriateness of revenue recognition in accordance with
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 605-25, Revenue
Recognition: Multiple–Element Arrangements, and ASC Subtopic 985-605,
Software: Revenue Recognition. Our solid-state LED video
screens, billboards and active digital signage contain software elements which
the Company has determined are incidental and excluded from the scope of ASC
Subtopic 985-605.
Credit
and Collections:
The
Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts receivable for probable
estimated losses resulting from either customer disputes or the inability of its
customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of
the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to
make the required payments, the Company may be required to record additional
allowances or charges against income. The Company determines its
allowance for doubtful accounts by first considering all known collectibility
problems of customers’ accounts, and then applying certain percentages against
the various aging categories based on the due date of the remaining
receivables. The resulting allowance for doubtful accounts receivable
is an estimate based upon the Company’s knowledge of its business and customer
base, and historical trends. The Company also establishes allowances,
at the time revenue is recognized, for returns, discounts, pricing and other
possible customer deductions. These allowances are based upon
historical trends.

Cash
and Cash Equivalents:
The cash
balance includes cash and cash equivalents which have original maturities of
less than three months. At December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, there
were no bank balances in excess of FDIC insurance limits.
Inventories:
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the
first-in, first-out basis.
Property,
Plant and Equipment and Related Depreciation:
Property,
plant and equipment are stated at cost. Major additions and
betterments are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are
expensed. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is computed
on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as
follows:

Costs
related to the purchase, internal development, and implementation of the
Company’s fully integrated enterprise resource planning/business operating
software system are either capitalized or expensed in accordance with ASC
Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Internal-Use
Software. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of
fifteen years or the remaining term of the lease.

The

quarter of fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $2,668,000 and $2,937,000 of
depreciation expense in the first half of fiscal 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
Intangible
Assets:
Intangible
assets consisting of customer relationships, trade names and trademarks,
patents, technology and software, and non-compete agreements are recorded on the
Company's balance sheet. The definite-lived intangible assets are
being amortized to expense over periods ranging between two and twenty
years. The Company periodically evaluates definite-lived intangible
assets for permanent impairment. Neither indefinite-lived intangible assets nor
the excess of cost over fair value of assets acquired ("goodwill") are
amortized, however they are subject to review for impairment. See
additional information about goodwill and intangibles in Note 7.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments:
The
Company has financial instruments consisting primarily of cash and cash
equivalents, short-term investments, revolving lines of credit, and long-term
debt. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates
carrying value because of their short-term maturity
and/or variable, market-driven interest rates. The Company has no
financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk.
Product
Warranties:
The
Company offers a limited warranty that its products are free of defects in
workmanship and materials. The specific terms and conditions vary
somewhat by product line, but generally cover defective product returned within
one to five years from the date of shipment. The Company records
warranty liabilities to cover the estimated future costs for repair or
replacement of defective returned products as well as products that need to be
repaired or replaced in the field after installation. The Company
calculates its liability for warranty claims by applying estimates to cover
unknown claims, as well as estimating the total amount to be incurred for known
warranty issues. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of
its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as
necessary.
Changes
in the Company’s warranty liabilities, which are included in accrued expenses in
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, during the periods indicated below

Research
and Development Costs:
Research
and development expenses are costs directly attributable to new product
development and consist of salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits,
materials, supplies, depreciation and other administrative costs. All
costs are expensed as incurred and are classified as operating
expenses. The Company follows the requirements of ASC Subtopic
985-20, Software: Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed,
by expensing as research and development all costs associated with development
of software used in solid-state LED products. Research and
development costs incurred related to both product and software development
totaled $1,271,000 and $1,035,000 for the three month periods ended December 31,
2009 and 2008, respectively, and $2,453,000 and $2,066,000 for the six month
periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Earnings
Per Common Share:
The
computation of basic earnings per common share is based on the weighted average
common shares outstanding for the period net of treasury shares held in the
Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The computation
of diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average common shares
outstanding for the period and includes common share
equivalents. Common share equivalents include the dilutive effect of
stock options, contingently issuable shares and common shares to be issued under
a deferred compensation plan, all of which totaled 243,000 shares and 228,000
shares for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively, and 239,000 shares and 223,000 shares for the six months ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. See also Note 5.
Stock
Options:
There
were no disqualifying dispositions of shares from stock option exercises in the
first six months of fiscal 2010 or 2009. See further discussion
regarding stock options in Note 11.
Comprehensive
Income:
The
Company does not have any comprehensive income items other than net
income.
Subsequent
Events:
For the
quarter ended December 31, 2009, the Company has evaluated subsequent events for
potential recognition and disclosure through February 4, 2010, the date of
financial statement issuance.
Use
of Estimates:
The
preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
NOTE
3: MAJOR CUSTOMER
CONCENTRATIONS
The
Company’s Lighting Segment and Graphics Segment net sales to 7-Eleven, Inc.
represented approximately $18,054,000 or 26%, and $25,801,000 or 19% of
consolidated net sales in the three and six months ended December 31, 2009,
respectively. The Company had a balance of accounts receivable from
7-Eleven, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 of approximately $4,699,000 or 15% of net
accounts and notes receivable. There were no concentrations of net
sales or accounts receivable at or for the three or six months ended December
31, 2008.
NOTE
4: BUSINESS SEGMENT
INFORMATION
Accounting
Standards Codification Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for
reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires selected information of those segments to be presented
in interim financial statements. Operating segments are identified as components
of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available
for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (the Company’s President
and Chief Executive Officer) in making decisions on how to allocate resources
and assess performance. While the Company has thirteen operating segments, it
has only four reportable operating business segments (Lighting, Graphics,
Technology, and Electronic Components) and an All Other Category.
The
Lighting Segment includes outdoor, indoor, and landscape lighting that has been
fabricated and assembled for the commercial, industrial and multi-site retail
lighting markets, including the petroleum/convenience store market. The Lighting
Segment includes
the operations of LSI Ohio Operations, LSI Metal Fabrication, LSI MidWest
Lighting, LSI Lightron and LSI Greenlee Lighting. These operations have been
integrated, have similar economic characteristics and meet the other
requirements for aggregation in segment reporting.
The
Graphics Segment designs, manufactures and installs exterior and interior visual
image elements related to image programs, solid state LED digital advertising
billboards, and solid state LED digital sports video screens. These products are
used in visual image programs in several markets, including the
petroleum/convenience store market, multi-site retail operations, sports and
advertising. The Graphics Segment includes the operations of Grady McCauley, LSI
Retail Graphics and LSI Integrated Graphic Systems, which have been aggregated
as such facilities manufacture two-dimensional graphics with the use of screen
and digital printing, fabricate three-dimensional structural graphics sold in
the multi-site retail and petroleum/convenience store markets, and exhibit each
of the similar economic characteristics and meet the other requirements for
aggregation in segment reporting.
The
Technology Segment designs and produces high-performance light engines, large
format video screens using solid-state LED technology, and certain specialty LED
lighting. The primary markets served with LED video screens are the
entertainment market, outdoor advertising billboard and sports markets not
served by our Graphics Segment. The Technology Segment includes the
operations of LSI Saco Technologies.
The
Electronic Components Segment designs, engineers and manufactures custom
designed electronic circuit boards, assemblies and sub-assemblies used in
various applications including the control of solid-state LED
lighting. Capabilities of this Segment also have applications in the
Company’s other LED product lines such as digital scoreboards, advertising
ribbon boards and billboards. The Electronic Components Segment
includes the operations of LSI ADL Technology, which was acquired by the Company
on July 22, 2009.
The All
Other Category includes the Company’s operating segments that do not meet the
aggregation criteria, nor the criteria to be a separate reportable
segment. Operations of LSI Marcole (electrical wire harnesses), LSI
Images (menu board systems), and LSI Adapt (surveying, permitting and
installation management services related to products of the Graphics Segment)
are combined in the All Other Category. Additionally, the Company’s
Corporate Administration expense is included in the All Other
Category.
Summarized
financial information for the Company’s reportable business segments for the
three and six month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, and as of December
31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 is as follows:

NOTE
7: GOODWILL AND
OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
In
accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 350, Intangibles –
Goodwill and Other, the Company is required to perform an annual impairment test
of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company performs
this test as of July 1st of
each fiscal year and on an interim basis when an event occurs or circumstances
change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit
below its carrying amount. The Company uses a combination of the market approach
and the income (discounted cash flow) approach in determining the fair value of
its reporting units. Under ASC Topic 350, the goodwill impairment test is a
two-step process. Under the first step, the fair value of the Company’s
reporting unit is compared to its respective carrying value. An indication that
goodwill is impaired occurs when the fair value of a reporting unit is less than
the carrying value. When there is an indication that goodwill is impaired, the
Company is required to perform a second step. In step two, the actual impairment
of goodwill is calculated by comparing the implied fair value of the goodwill
with the carrying value of the goodwill.
The
Company identified its reporting units in conjunction with its annual goodwill
impairment testing. The Company relies upon a number of factors,
judgments and estimates when conducting its impairment testing. These
include operating results, forecasts, anticipated future cash flows and
marketplace data, to name a few. There are inherent uncertainties
related to these factors and judgments in applying them to the analysis of
goodwill impairment.
Due to
economic conditions, the effects of the recession on the Company’s markets and
the decline in the Company’s stock price since the previous goodwill impairment
test, management believed that an additional goodwill impairment test was
required as of June 30, 2009. The impairment test performed as of
June 30, 2009 was actually the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test that
was to be performed as of July 1, 2009; however, because the conditions that
resulted in goodwill impairment were present as of June 30, 2009, the estimated
partial impairment charge of $260,000 was recorded in one reporting unit in the
All Other Category as of that date. The impairment charge was due to
a decline in the estimated forecasted discounted cash flows since the previous
goodwill impairment
test was performed. The impairment test was completed in the first
quarter of fiscal 2010 at which time it was determined that no further
adjustment to the estimate, recorded at June 30, 2009, was
needed.
Due to
economic conditions, the effects of the recession on the Company’s markets and
the decline in the Company’s stock price since the previous goodwill impairment
test, management believed that an additional goodwill impairment test was
required as of December 31, 2008. Based upon the Company’s analysis,
it was determined that the goodwill associated with three of the five remaining
reporting units that contain goodwill was either fully or partially impaired.
The total amount of the goodwill impairment was $13,250,000, of which
$11,185,000 was impaired in the Lighting Segment, $716,000 was impaired in the
Graphics Segment and $1,349,000 was impaired in the All Other
Category. The impairment charge was due to a combination of a decline
in the market capitalization of the Company at December 31, 2008 and a decline
in the estimated forecasted discounted cash flows since the annual goodwill
impairment test was performed. The impairment charge was recorded in
the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
A similar
analysis was performed in fiscal 2009 as of July 1, 2008 for the annual
impairment test and there was no impairment of goodwill.
The
following tables present information about the Company's goodwill and other
intangible assets on the dates or for the periods indicated.

NOTE
8: REVOLVING LINES
OF CREDIT AND LONG-TERM DEBT
The
Company has a $40 million unsecured revolving line of credit with its bank group
in the U.S., all of which was available as of December 31, 2009. A
portion of this credit facility is a $10 million committed line of credit that
expires in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The remainder of the
credit facility is a $30 million two year committed line of credit that expires
in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Annually in the third quarter,
the credit facility is renewable with respect to adding an additional year of
commitment, if the bank group so chooses, to replace the year just
ended. Interest on the revolving lines of credit is charged based
upon an increment over the LIBOR rate as periodically determined, an increment
over the Federal Funds Rate as periodically determined, or at the bank’s base
lending rate, at the Company’s option. For the $30 million line of
credit, the increment over the LIBOR borrowing rate, as periodically determined,
fluctuates between 50 and 75 basis points depending upon the ratio of
indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA), as defined in the credit facility. The increment over the
Federal Funds borrowing rate, as periodically determined, fluctuates between 150
and 200 basis points, and the commitment fee on the unused balance of the $30
million committed line of credit fluctuates between 15 and 25 basis points based
upon the same leverage ratio. For the $10 million line of credit, the
increment over the LIBOR borrowing rate, as periodically determined, is 250
basis points, and the fee on the unused balance of the $10 million committed
line of credit is 15 basis points. Under terms of these agreements,
the Company has agreed to a negative pledge of assets, to maintain minimum
levels of profitability and net worth, and is subject to certain maximum levels
of leverage.
The
Company also has a $5 million line of credit for its Canadian
subsidiary. The line of credit expires in the third quarter of fiscal
2010. Interest on the Canadian subsidiary’s line of credit is charged
based upon a 250 basis point increment over the LIBOR rate or based upon an
increment over the United States base rates if funds borrowed are denominated in
U.S. dollars or an increment over the Canadian prime rate if funds borrowed are
denominated in Canadian dollars. There are no borrowings against this
line of credit as of December 31, 2009.
The
Company assumed a mortgage loan with the acquisition of AdL Technology in July
2009. Monthly principal payments of approximately $10,000 are to be
made through August, 2012 at an interest rate of 7.76%, at which time the
balance is payable in full. The real estate of LSI ADL Technology has
been pledged as collateral for the mortgage.

NOTE
9: RESERVE FOR
UNCERTAIN TAX LIABILITIES
For the
three and six month periods ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized
$22,000 and $44,000 of tax expense, respectively, related to the increase in
reserves for uncertain tax positions. For the three and six month
periods ended December 31, 2008, the Company recognized $6,000 and $31,000 of
tax expense, respectively, related to the increase in reserves for uncertain tax
positions. As of December 31, 2009, the reserve for uncertain income tax
liabilities is $2,779,000, net of potential
federal tax benefits. The Company is recording estimated interest and
penalties related to potential underpayment of income taxes as a component of
tax expense in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements. The
reserve for uncertain tax positions is not expected to change significantly in
the next 12 months.
The
Company files a consolidated federal income tax return in the United States, and
files various combined and separate tax returns in several state and local
jurisdictions. With limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S.
Federal, state and local tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years
ending prior to June 30, 2006. The Internal Revenue Service has
completed its audit of the Company’s fiscal year 2006 Federal Income Tax Return
and has not required any changes to the return as filed.

EQUITY
COMPENSATION

Stock
Options
The
Company has an equity compensation plan that was approved by shareholders which
covers all of its full-time employees, outside directors and
advisors. The options granted or stock awards made pursuant to this
plan are granted at fair market value at date of grant or
award. Options granted to non-employee directors become exercisable
25% each ninety days (cumulative) from date of grant and options granted to
employees generally become exercisable 25% per year (cumulative) beginning one
year after the date of grant. If a stock option holder’s employment
with the Company terminates by reason of death, disability or retirement, as
defined in the Plan, any award shall be fully vested. With the
increase approved by shareholders in November 2009, the number of shares
reserved for issuance is 2,800,000, of which 807,455 shares were available for
future grant or award as of December 31, 2009. This plan allows for
the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock
appreciation rights, restricted and unrestricted stock awards, performance stock
awards, and other stock awards. As of December 31, 2009, a total of
2,170,836 options for common shares were outstanding from this plan as well as
two previous stock option plans (both of which had also been approved by
shareholders), and of these, a total of 1,048,361 options for common shares were
vested and exercisable. The approximate unvested stock option expense
as of December 31, 2009 that will be recorded as expense in future periods is
$2,984,300. The weighted average time over which this expense will be
recorded is approximately 21 months.
The fair
value of each option on the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model. The below listed weighted average assumptions
were used for grants in the periods indicated.

At
December 31, 2009, the 641,500 options granted in the first six months of fiscal
2010 to both employees and non-employee directors had exercise prices ranging
from $5.93 to $8.40, fair values ranging from $2.03 to $2.87 per option, and
remaining contractual lives of between nine years and eleven months and ten
years.
At
December 31, 2008, the 339,300 options granted in the first six months of fiscal
2009 to both employees and non-employee directors had exercise prices ranging
from $4.60 to $8.98, fair values ranging from $1.12 to $2.21 per option, and
remaining contractual lives of between four years and eleven months and nine
years and eleven months.
The
Company calculates stock option expense using the Black-Scholes method, and
records the expense on a straight line basis with an estimated 6.6%
forfeiture rate. The expected volatility of the Company’s stock was
calculated based upon the historic monthly fluctuation in stock price for a
period approximating the expected life of option grants. The
risk-free interest rate is the rate of a five year Treasury security at
constant, fixed maturity on the approximate date of the stock option
grant. The expected life of outstanding options is determined to be
less than the contractual term for a period equal to the aggregate group of
option holders’ estimated weighted average time within which options will be
exercised. It is the Company’s policy that when stock options are
exercised, new common shares shall be issued. The Company recorded
$378,000 and $295,700 of expense related to stock options in the three months
ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $723,600 and $645,100 in the
six month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As
of December 31, 2009, the Company expects that approximately 1,030,200
outstanding stock options having a weighted average exercise price of $10.54,
intrinsic value of $145,200 and weighted average remaining contractual terms of
8.8 years will vest in the future.

Stock Compensation
Awards
The
Company awarded a total of 3,228 and 2,552 common shares, respectively, in the
six months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, with the number of shares issued in
each six month period valued at their approximate $20,000 fair market values on
the dates of issuance pursuant to the compensation program for non-employee
Directors who receive a portion of their compensation as an award of Company
stock. Stock compensation awards are made in the form of newly issued
common shares of the Company.
Deferred Compensation
Plan
The
Company’s Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan provides for both Company
contributions and participant deferrals of compensation. The Plan is
fully funded in a Rabbi Trust. All Plan investments are in common
shares of the Company. As of December 31, 2009 there were 33
participants, all with fully vested account balances. A total of
235,936 common shares with a cost of $2,537,900, and 222,832 common shares with
a cost of $2,455,900 were held in the Plan as of December 31, 2009 and June 30,
2009, respectively, and, accordingly, have been recorded as treasury shares. The
change in the number of shares held by this Plan is the net result of share
purchases and sales on the open stock market for compensation deferred into the
Plan and for distributions to terminated employees. The Company does
not issue new common shares for purposes of the non-qualified deferred
compensation plan. The Company accounts for assets held in the
non-qualified deferred compensation plan in accordance with Accounting Standards
Codification Topic 710, Compensation – General. For fiscal year 2010,
the Company estimates the Rabbi Trust for the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
Plan will make net repurchases in the range of 16,000 to 18,000 common shares of
the Company. During the six months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008,
the Company used approximately $93,400 and $160,700, respectively, to purchase
common shares of the Company in the open stock market for either employee salary
deferrals or Company contributions into the non-qualified deferred compensation
plan. The Company does not currently repurchase its own common shares
for any other purpose.
NOTE
12: COMMITMENTS AND
CONTINGENCIES
|
The
Company is party to various negotiations, customer bankruptcies, and legal
proceedings arising in the normal course of business. The
Company provides reserves for these matters when a loss is probable and
reasonably estimable. In the opinion of management, the
ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash
flows or liquidity.
|
On July
22, 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of certain net assets and 100%
of the business of three related companies (AdL Technology, AdL Engineering and
Kelmilfeen – collectively, “AdL” or “AdL Technology”), which were privately
owned and based in Columbus, Ohio. This new 100% owned subsidiary
operates under the name of LSI ADL Technology Inc. Consideration for
the asset purchase of these businesses totaled $15,781,480, and consisted of
2,469,676 shares of LSI’s unregistered common stock (the fair value of which was
determined based upon the closing market price of LSI’s common shares on the
acquisition date) and cash of $1,333,875. This purchase price exceeds
the fair value of the net assets being acquired, and therefore goodwill in the
amount of $9,208,000 was recorded with this
acquisition. Additionally,
LSI
assumed long-term debt of $3,368,874 in the purchase of substantially all net
assets of these businesses. The goodwill associated with this
acquisition consists largely of the synergies expected from combining AdL and
LSI Industries and the vertical integration of the design and manufacture of
electronic circuit boards used in many of the Company’s
products. None of the goodwill will be deductible by the Company for
tax purposes. There were no contingent liabilities or assets
associated with the purchase of AdL. There were $513,000 of
acquisition transaction costs included in the financial results for the six
month period ending December 31, 2009 in selling and administrative
expenses and $610,000 of expense in cost of products sold related to the roll
out of the fair value inventory adjustment that was recorded at
acquisition. The operations of LSI ADL Technology are included in the
Company’s operating results beginning July 23, 2009. The results of
LSI ADL Technology are reported in a separate reportable business segment named
the Electronic Components Segment.
The
recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed with
the acquisition of AdL Technology were as follows:

AdL Technology prior to acquisition.
LSI ADL
Technology Inc. will design, engineer, and manufacture custom designed circuit
boards, assemblies, and sub-assemblies used in various applications including
the control of solid-state LED lighting. With the acquisition of AdL,
we made a decision to further establish and advance our leadership position in
LED lighting by vertically integrating our capabilities in connection with
designing, engineering, and producing the solid-state electronics that control
and power LEDs. LSI ADL Technology will allow us to stay on the
leading edge of product development, while at the same time providing
opportunities to drive down manufacturing costs and control delivery of key
components. LSI ADL’s capabilities will also have applications in our other LED
product lines such as digital scoreboards, advertising ribbon boards and
billboards. The management team and all employees of the acquired companies
remain with LSI ADL Technology.

SUBSEQUENT
EVENT - CLOSURE OF THE LSI MARCOLE
FACILITY
|
On
January 20, 2010, the Board of Directors approved a plan to close the LSI
Marcole facility in Manchester, Tennessee. This facility manufactures
wire harnesses used in the manufacture of LSI’s light fixtures and also sells
wire harness to select outside customers. The Company expects to
cease production at the facility by April 2, 2010. Subsequent to the
closing of the LSI Marcole facility, the Company will purchase wire harnesses
from unrelated wire harness suppliers. The Company plans to sell
specific assets of LSI Marcole. A value has not been placed on the
assets that will be held for sale so the fair market value of those assets is
not known at this time. The Company decided
to close this facility primarily due to low cost competition of wire harnesses
produced outside the United States. The operating results of LSI
Marcole are reported under the All Other Category.
The
assets and liabilities of LSI Marcole are comprised of the following at December
31, 2009 and June 30, 2009:

Summary
Comments
Second
quarter fiscal 2010 net sales of $69,374,000 and operating income of $2,933,000,
as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2009, were favorably influenced by
increased net sales and operating income of the Graphics Segment (up 39.1% and
291.3%, respectively), and the addition of the Electronic Components Segment
(effective with the July 22, 2009 acquisition of AdL Technology, which added
$4.4 million and $0.7 million of net sales and operating income,
respectively). Net sales were unfavorably influenced by decreased
Technology Segment and All Other Category net sales (down 79.9% and 29.4%,
respectively, totaling $1.7 million unfavorable). Additional
favorable influence on operating income were significant improvements in the
Lighting Segment and All Other Category ($13.2 million and $1.6 million,
respectively) -- see the paragraph below regarding
goodwill impairments recorded in fiscal 2009 and the section below on Non-GAAP
Financial Measures. Net sales to the Petroleum / Convenience Store
market, the Company’s largest niche market, were $31,925,000 or 46% of total net
sales and $13,484,000 or 22% of total net sales in the second quarter of fiscal
2010 and 2009, respectively. The $18.4 million or 137% increase is
primarily due to a program with one national petroleum / convenience store
customer who is replacing traditional canopy, site and sign lighting with
solid-state LED lighting ($17.0 million increase). Over 74% of the
retail petroleum sites scheduled to be involved in this customer’s program to
convert to solid-state LED lighting are completed as of the end of Company’s
2010 second fiscal quarter, about 26% of the retail petroleum sites are expected
to be completed in the Company’s third fiscal quarter, and the Company is in
discussion with this customer regarding additional non-petroleum retail sites to
be converted in calendar year 2010. Net sales to this petroleum /
convenience store customer are reported in both the Lighting and Graphics
segments.
First
half fiscal 2010 net sales of $137,050,000 and operating income of $5,430,000,
as compared to the first half of fiscal 2009, were favorably influenced by
increased net sales and operating income of the Graphics Segment (up 18.3% and
111.1%, respectively), and the addition of the Electronic Components Segment
(effective with the July 22, 2009 acquisition of AdL Technology, which added
$7.6 million and $0.8 million of net sales and operating income,
respectively). Net sales were unfavorably influenced by decreased
Lighting Segment, Technology Segment and All Other Category net sales (down
10.3%, 67.5% and 28.3%, respectively, totaling $13.6 million
unfavorable). Additional favorable influences on operating income
were significant improvements in the Lighting Segment and All Other Category
($12.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively) -- see the
paragraph below regarding goodwill impairments recorded in fiscal 2009 and the
section below on Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Net sales to the
Petroleum / Convenience Store market, the Company’s largest niche market, were
$52,890,000 or 39% of total net sales and $28,683,000 or 21% of total net sales
in the first half of fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively. The $24.2
million or 84% increase is primarily due to a program with one national
petroleum / convenience store customer who is replacing traditional canopy, site
and sign lighting with solid-state LED lighting ($24
million
increase). Over 74% of the retail petroleum sites scheduled to be involved
in this customer’s program to convert to solid-state LED lighting are completed
as of the end of Company’s 2010 first half, about 26% of the retail petroleum
sites are expected to be completed in the Company’s third fiscal quarter, and
the Company is in discussion with this customer regarding additional
non-petroleum retail sites to be converted in calendar year 2010. Net
sales to this petroleum / convenience store customer are reported in both the
Lighting and Graphics segments.
The
Company recorded significant goodwill impairment expenses in the second quarter
and first half of fiscal 2009, totaling $13,250,000 ($11.2 million in the
Lighting Segment, $0.7 million in the Graphics Segment and $1.3 million in the
All Other Category). These expenses are included in the $(14,007,000)
and $(9,791,000) operating losses reported in the second quarter and first half
of fiscal 2009, respectively. There were no such goodwill impairment
expenses in the second quarter or first half of fiscal 2010.
The
Company also recorded significant acquisition-related and other professional
fees expenses in the first half of fiscal 2010, totaling $1,391,000 ($610,000 of
inventory adjustments related to acquisition accounting on the opening balance
sheet of LSI ADL Technology; $513,000 of acquisition transaction costs related
to the acquisition of LSI ADL Technology; and $268,000 of other professional
fees). These expenses are included in the $5,430,000 operating income
reported in the first half of fiscal 2010. There were no such similar
significant expenses in the first half of fiscal 2009. See also the
section below on Non-GAAP Financial Measures.
The Company’s total net sales of
products and services related to solid-state LED technology in light fixtures
and video screens for sports, advertising and entertainment markets have been
recorded as indicated in the table below. In addition, the Company
sells certain elements of graphic identification programs that contain
solid-state LED light sources.

As fiscal 2009 progressed, the Company
encountered a global economic recession with unprecedented negative economic
forces, including declining industrial production, rapidly increasing
unemployment, roller coaster commodity pricing, and record low confidence
levels, as well as issues such as malfunctioning credit markets which could
affect many customers and a decimated housing market that indirectly could
affect the Company’s business. Taken as a whole, these factors have caused
a substantial reduction in demand for our lighting and graphics products.
Many of these conditions continue to affect fiscal 2010. Virtually
all of our markets have been adversely impacted and our business has suffered as
a result. During these difficult and uncertain economic conditions, we
have taken a number of proactive steps to “right size” LSI Industries to meet
today’s challenges. Such actions include strict control of expenses,
capital expenditure reductions, close management of accounts receivable and
inventories, headcount reductions, and maintaining a conservative financial
position coupled with positive free cash flow. We believe the economy will
eventually improve. As we continue to adjust our expense levels to lower
production rates and manage working capital efficiently, we are also
strategically positioning the business for future growth and are very positive
about the longer term outlook and opportunities for the Company, notwithstanding
the current economic recession that will likely continue to impact results
during the next several quarters. LSI is facing a period of challenging
business conditions in the near term due to the general economic recession but
expects to emerge a stronger and more efficient company as business conditions
improve.
Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
The Company believes it is appropriate
to evaluate its performance after making adjustments to the U.S. GAAP net income
for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2009 and
2008. Adjusted net income and earnings per share, which excludes
goodwill impairment or the impact of the LSI ADL Technology acquisition deal
costs and acquisition-related fair value inventory adjustment, are non-GAAP
financial measures. We believe that they are useful as supplemental
measures in assessing the operating performance of our business. This
measure is used by our management, including our chief operating decision maker,
to evaluate business results. We exclude these items because they are
not representative of the ongoing results of operations of our
business. Below is a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to net
income for the periods indicated, excluding the acquisition related costs and
the goodwill impairment.

Lighting
Segment net sales of $43,688,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 increased
0.9% from second quarter fiscal 2009 net sales of $43,291,000. The
$0.4 million increase in Lighting Segment net sales is primarily the net result
of a $6.9 million or 39% net increase in lighting sales to our niche markets
(petroleum / convenience store market net sales were up significantly, and net
sales to the automotive dealership and quick service restaurant markets were
down) and national retail accounts, and a $6.5 million or 25.1% decrease in
commissioned net sales to the commercial / industrial lighting
market. Sales of lighting to the petroleum / convenience store market
represented 42% and 17% of Lighting Segment net sales in the second quarter of
fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. Net sales of lighting to
this, the Company’s largest niche market, were up 144.6% from last year to
$18,158,000, with approximately $9.8 million of the $10.7 million increase
related to a program with one national petroleum / convenience store customer
who is replacing traditional canopy, site and sign lighting with solid-state LED
lighting. While the Company expects to continue to make sales to this
particular customer, the majority of this re-lighting program has been completed
and net sales are not expected to continue at this level in future
periods. The Company is in discussion with this customer regarding
additional non-petroleum retail sites to be converted in calendar year
2010. The petroleum / convenience store market has been, and will
continue to be, a very important niche market for the Company. The Lighting
Segment’s net sales of light fixtures having solid-state LED technology totaled
$14.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, representing over a 700%
increase from last year’s second quarter net sales of solid-state LED light
fixtures of $1.7 million.
Gross
profit of $10,237,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 increased $1.3
million or 14% from the same period last year, and increased from 20.4% to 23.3%
as a percentage of Lighting Segment net sales (customer plus inter-segment net
sales). The increase in amount of gross profit is due to increased
net sales at improved margins, and reduced freight costs. The
following items also influenced the Lighting Segment’s gross profit
margin: competitive pricing pressures; $0.4 million increased
warranty costs; $0.1 million decreased utilities; and $0.1 million decreased
depreciation expense.
Selling and administrative expenses of
$6,998,000 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 decreased $11.9 million
primarily as a result of the $11.2 million goodwill impairment charge recorded
in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 with no similar charge in fiscal
2010. Additional changes in expense in the second quarter of fiscal
2010 as compared to last year include: increased employee
compensation and benefits expense ($0.2 million); decreased sales commission
expense ($0.2 million); increased research and development expense ($0.1
million); decreased customer relations expense ($0.3 million); and decreased
warranty expense ($0.3 million).
The
Lighting Segment second quarter fiscal 2010 operating income of $3,239,000
compares to an operating loss of $(9,945,000) last year. This
increase of $13.2 million was the result of increased net sales, increased gross
profit, and decreased selling and administrative expenses ($0.7 million decrease
in spending and the absence of an $11.2 million goodwill impairment
charge).

Graphics
Segment net sales of $19,324,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 increased
39.1% from fiscal 2009 net sales of $13,891,000. The $5.4 million
increase in Graphics Segment net sales is primarily the result of image
conversion programs and sales to eight petroleum / convenience store customers
($7.9 million net increase), a national drug store retailer ($0.6 million
increase) and a grocery retailer ($2.5 million decrease), and changes in volume
or completion of other graphics programs. Sales of graphics products
and services to the petroleum / convenience store market represented 71% and 44%
of Graphics Segment net sales in the second quarter of fiscal years 2010 and
2009, respectively. Net sales of graphics to this, the Company’s
largest niche market, were up 127% from last year to $13,767,000, with
approximately $7.2 million of the $7.7 million increase related to a program
with one national petroleum / convenience store customer who is replacing
traditional sign lighting with solid-state LED lighting. While the
Company expects to continue to make sales to this particular customer, the
majority of this re-lighting program has been completed and net sales are not
expected to continue at this level in future periods. The Company is
in discussion with this customer regarding additional non-petroleum retail sites
to be converted in calendar year 2010. The petroleum /
convenience store market has been, and will continue to be, a very important
niche market for the Company. The Graphics Segment net sales of
products and services related to solid-state LED video screens and LED lighting
for signage totaled $4.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 as
compared to $0.2 million in last year’s second quarter.
Image and brand programs, whether full
conversions or enhancements, are important to the Company’s strategic
direction. Image programs include situations where our customers
refurbish their retail sites around the country by replacing some or all of the
lighting, graphic elements, menu board systems and possibly other items they may
source from other suppliers. These image programs often take several quarters to
complete and involve both our customers’ corporate-owned sites as well as their
franchisee-owned sites, the latter of which involve separate sales efforts by
the Company with each franchisee. The Company may not always be able
to replace net sales immediately when a large image conversion program has
concluded. Brand programs typically occur as new products are offered
or new departments are created within an existing retail
store. Relative to net sales to a customer before and after an image
or brand program, net sales during the program are typically significantly
higher, depending upon how much business is awarded to the
Company. Sales related to a customer’s image or brand program are
reported in either the Lighting Segment, Graphics Segment, or the All Other
Category depending upon the product and/or service provided.
Gross profit of $4,488,000 in the
second quarter of fiscal 2010 increased $0.7 million or 18% from the same period
last year, but decreased from 26.5% to 22.8% as a percentage of Graphics
Segment net sales (customer plus inter-segment net sales). The
increase in amount of gross profit is due to increased Graphics net sales at
lower margins and increased material costs as a percentage of Graphics Segment
net sales. The following items also influenced the Graphics Segment’s
gross profit margin: competitive pricing pressures, and other
manufacturing expenses in support of production requirements ($0.1 million of
decreased indirect wage, compensation and benefits costs; $0.2 million increased
warranty expense; $0.1 million increased outside services; and $0.1 million
decreased depreciation and utilities).
Selling and administrative expenses of
$2,504,000 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 decreased $0.8 million
primarily as a result of the $0.7 million goodwill impairment charge recorded in
the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. Changes of expense between
years include increased bad debt expense ($0.1 million), decreased warranty
expense ($0.1 million), and decreased travel expense ($0.1
million).
The
Graphics Segment second quarter fiscal 2010 operating income of $1,984,000
compares to $507,000 in the same period last year. The $1.5 million
increase in operating income was the result of increased net sales and increased
gross profit, the absence of any goodwill impairment charge and decreased other
selling and administrative expenses.

Technology
Segment net sales of $235,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 decreased
79.9% from second quarter fiscal 2009 net sales of $1,172,000. The
$0.9 million decrease in Technology Segment net sales is primarily the net
result of decreased sales of solid-state LED video screens to the entertainment
market ($0.7 million) and decreased sales of specialty LED lighting ($0.1
million).
Gross profit of $(55,000) in the second
quarter of fiscal 2010 decreased $0.3 million from the same period last year,
and changed from 14.5% to (4.4)% as a percentage of Technology Segment net sales
(customer plus inter-segment net sales). The decrease is related to
the drop in sales volume.
Selling and administrative expenses of
$257,000 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 decreased $0.2 million, and
decreased to 20.7% from 31.6% as a percentage of Technology Segment net sales
(customer plus inter-segment net sales). Selling and administrative
expenses were down in line with reduced net sales, including $0.1 million
reduced bad debt expense.
The
Technology Segment second quarter fiscal 2010 operating loss of $(312,000)
compares to an operating loss of $(253,000) last year. The decrease
in operating income of $0.1 million was the net result of decreased net sales
and gross profit, partially offset by decreased selling and administrative
expenses.

Electronic
Components Segment results include the operations of LSI ADL Technology, a
subsidiary that the Company acquired in July 2009. Therefore, the net
sales and operating income in fiscal 2010 are incremental additions to the
Company’s results as there were no net sales or operating income in fiscal
2009. Operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was
reduced by $87,000 related to the roll-out of fair value inventory adjustments
for LSI ADL Technology’s sales of products that were in finished goods or
work-in-process inventory on the acquisition date and therefore were valued at
fair value, as opposed to manufactured cost, in the opening balance sheet in
accordance with the requirements of purchase accounting. The final
such inventory adjustment of $68,000 is expected to unfavorably impact the third
quarter of fiscal 2010 as the remaining specific inventory items are
sold.

All Other
Category net sales of $1,718,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 decreased
29.4% from second quarter fiscal 2009 net sales of $2,433,000. The
$0.7 million decrease in the All Other Category net sales is primarily the
result of decreased sales to a quick service restaurant menu board customer
($0.7 million), decreased sales of electrical wire harnesses ($0.3 million) and
changes in volume or completion of other customer programs.
Gross profit of $258,000 in the second
quarter of fiscal 2010 decreased $0.1 million or 18% from last year, but
increased from 9.0% to 10.0% as a percentage of the All Other Category net sales
(customer plus inter-segment net sales). The decrease in amount of
gross profit is primarily due to decreased net sales and margins.
Selling and administrative expenses of
$2,982,000, which includes Corporate administration expenses, in the second
quarter of fiscal year 2010 decreased $1.6 million primarily as a result of the
$1.3 million goodwill impairment charge recorded in the second quarter of fiscal
year 2009. Changes of expense between years include acquisition deal
costs associated with the acquisition of LSI ADL Technology ($0.5 million
increased expense), decreased menu board patent settlement expense ($0.2
million), decreased outside services expense ($0.3 million), and increased
research and development expense ($0.1 million).
The All
Other Category second quarter fiscal 2010 operating loss of $(2,727,000)
compares to an operating loss of $(4,316,000) in the same period last
year. This decreased loss of $1.6 million was the result of decreased
net sales and decreased gross profit, decreased
goodwill impairment expense and decreased other selling and administrative
expenses.
Consolidated
Results
The Company reported net interest
expense of $32,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 as compared to net
interest income of $1,000 in the same period last year. The Company
borrowed on its Canadian line of credit occasionally in the second quarter of
fiscal 2009 and essentially its only borrowings in the second quarter of fiscal
2010 were related to the mortgage loan assumed in the acquisition of AdL
Technology. Commitment fees related to the unused portions of the
Company’s lines of credit, and interest income on invested cash are included in
the net interest expense amounts above.
The
$1,309,000 income tax expense (consolidated effective tax rate of 45.1%) in the
second quarter of fiscal 2010 reflects an estimated full year effective tax rate
of 40.7% for the Company’s U.S. operations combined with a 30.4% effective tax
rate for the Company’s Canadian operation, plus a $0.1 million increase of the
valuation reserve for the Company’s Canadian net operating loss tax benefit and
Canadian tax credits. The U.S. effective tax rate has increased as
compared to prior years because of the significance of certain permanent
book-tax differences relative to the amount of taxable income, as well as an
increase in state income taxes. The income tax benefit in the second
quarter of fiscal 2009 was $629,000 even though the Company had a pre-tax loss
of $(14,006,000). This results from the fact that the majority of the
goodwill impairment expense of $13.3 million is given unfavorable income tax
treatment and is not able to be deducted. The estimated full year
effective tax rate was 29.4% for the Company’s U.S. operations and was 30.9% for
the Company’s Canadian operation.
The
Company reported a net income of $1,592,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2010
as compared to a net loss of $(13,377,000) last year. The increased
net income is primarily the result of increased net sales, increased gross
profit, goodwill impairment in fiscal 2009 and none in fiscal 2010, decreased
operating expenses, partially offset by increased net interest expense and
increased income tax expense. Diluted earnings per share were $0.07
in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 as compared to a loss of $(0.61) in the
same period last year. The weighted average common shares outstanding for
purposes of computing diluted earnings per share in fiscal 2010 were 24,284,000
shares as compared to 21,799,000 shares last year, with the increase in shares
primarily related to the weighted effect of the 2,469,676 common shares issued
in July 2009 for the acquisition of AdL Technology.

Lighting
Segment net sales of $83,329,000 in the first half of fiscal 2010 decreased
10.3% from first half fiscal 2009 net sales of $92,927,000. The $9.6
million decrease in Lighting Segment net sales is primarily the result of
a $5.8 million or 16% net increase in lighting sales to our niche markets
(petroleum / convenience store market net sales were up significantly, and net
sales to the automotive dealership and quick service restaurant markets were
down) and national retail accounts, and a $15.4 million or 27.3% decrease in
commissioned net sales to the commercial / industrial lighting
market. Sales of lighting to the petroleum / convenience store market
represented 36% and 17% of Lighting Segment net sales in the first half of
fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. Net sales of lighting to
this, the Company’s largest niche market, were up 87.9% from the same period
last year to $29,673,000. The petroleum / convenience store market
has been, and will continue to be, a very important niche market for the
Company. The Lighting Segment’s net sales of light fixtures having solid-state
LED technology totaled $21.4 million in the first half of fiscal 2010,
representing over a 750% increase from last year’s first half net sales of
solid-state LED light fixtures of $2.5 million.
Gross
profit of $20,823,000 in the first half of fiscal 2010 decreased $0.5 million or
2% from the same period last year, and increased from 22.0% to 23.5% as a
percentage of Lighting Segment net sales (customer plus inter-segment net
sales). The decrease in amount of gross profit is due to decreased
Lighting net sales, partially offset by improved margins. The
following items also influenced the Lighting Segment’s gross profit
margin: competitive pricing pressures; increased indirect wage,
compensation and benefits costs ($0.4 million increase); increased warranty
costs ($0.4 million); $0.2 million decreased utilities; $0.2 million decreased
outside services; $0.1 million decreased depreciation expense and $0.1 million
decreased supplies.
Selling and administrative expenses of
$14,104,000 in the first half of fiscal year 2010 decreased $12.7 million
primarily as a result of the $11.2 million goodwill impairment charge recorded
in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 with no similar charge in fiscal
2010. Additional changes in expense in the first half of fiscal 2010
as compared to last year include: increased employee compensation and
benefits expense ($0.3 million), decreased sales commission expense ($1.0
million), increased research and development expense ($0.3 million), decreased
customer relations expense ($0.5 million) and decreased warranty expense ($0.3
million).
The
Lighting Segment first half fiscal 2010 operating income of $6,719,000 compares
to an operating loss of $(5,482,000) in the same period last
year. This increase of $12.2 million was the net result of decreased
net sales and decreased gross profit, offset by decreased selling and
administrative expenses ($1.5 million decrease in spending and the absence of an
$11.2 million goodwill impairment charge).

Segment net sales of $41,421,000 in the first half of fiscal 2010 increased
18.3% from fiscal 2009 net sales of $35,027,000. The $6.4 million
increase in Graphics Segment net sales is primarily the result of image
conversion programs and sales to eight petroleum / convenience store customers
($11.2 million net increase), a national drug store retailer ($0.9 million
increase), net sales of solid-state LED video screens to the sports market ($1.6
million increase), and a grocery retailer ($5.5 million decrease), and changes
in volume or
completion
of other graphics programs. Sales of graphics products and services to the
petroleum / convenience store market represented 56% and 37% of Graphics Segment
net sales in the first half of fiscal years 2010 and 2009,
respectively. Net sales of graphics to this, the Company’s largest
niche market, increased $10.3 million or 80% from the same period last year to
$23,217,000, with one program with a national petroleum / convenience store
customer who is replacing traditional sign lighting with solid-state LED
lighting increasing approximately $10.4 million. While the Company
expects to continue to make sales to this particular customer, the majority of
this re-lighting program has been completed and net sales are not expected to
continue at this level in future periods. The Company is in
discussion with this customer regarding additional non-petroleum retail sites to
be converted in calendar year 2010. The petroleum / convenience store
market has been, and will continue to be, a very important niche market for the
Company. The Graphics Segment net sales of products and services
related to solid-state LED video screens and LED lighting for signage totaled
$13.9 million in the first half of fiscal 2010 as compared to $5.1 million in
last year’s first half.
Image and brand programs, whether full
conversions or enhancements, are important to the Company’s strategic
direction. Image programs include situations where our customers
refurbish their retail sites around the country by replacing some or all of the
lighting, graphic elements, menu board systems and possibly other items they may
source from other suppliers. These image programs often take several quarters to
complete and involve both our customers’ corporate-owned sites as well as their
franchisee-owned sites, the latter of which involve separate sales efforts by
the Company with each franchisee. The Company may not always be able
to replace net sales immediately when a large image conversion program has
concluded. Brand programs typically occur as new products are offered
or new departments are created within an existing retail
store. Relative to net sales to a customer before and after an image
or brand program, net sales during the program are typically significantly
higher, depending upon how much business is awarded to the
Company. Sales related to a customer’s image or brand program are
reported in either the Lighting Segment, Graphics Segment, or the All Other
Category depending upon the product and/or service provided.
Gross profit of $9,142,000 in the first
half of fiscal 2010 increased $1.4 million or 18% from last year, and increased
from 21.6% to 21.8% as a percentage of Graphics Segment net sales (customer plus
inter-segment net sales). The increase in amount of gross profit is
due primarily to increased Graphics net sales. The following items
also influenced the Graphics Segment’s gross profit
margin: competitive pricing pressures, and other manufacturing
expenses in support of production requirements ($0.2 million of decreased
indirect wage, compensation and benefits costs; $0.2 million increased warranty
expense; $0.2 million decreased depreciation and utilities; and $0.1 million
decreased supplies expense).
Selling and administrative expenses of
$5,617,000 in the first half of fiscal year 2010 decreased $0.5 million
primarily as a result of the $0.7 million goodwill impairment charge recorded in
the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 with no similar charge in fiscal
2010. Changes of expense between years include increased bad debt
expense ($0.2 million), increased customer relations expense ($0.1 million), and
decreased travel expense ($0.1 million).
The
Graphics Segment first half fiscal 2010 operating income of $3,525,000 compares
to $1,670,000 in the same period last year. The increase of $1.9
million in operating income was the net result of increased net sales and
increased gross profit, the absence of any goodwill impairment charge and
increased other selling and administrative expenses ($0.3 million increase in
spending and the absence of a $0.7 million goodwill impairment
charge).

Segment net sales of $1,296,000 in the first half of fiscal 2010 decreased 67.5%
from first half fiscal 2009 net sales of $3,990,000. The $2.7 million
decrease in Technology Segment net sales is primarily the result of decreased
sales of solid-state LED video screens to the entertainment market ($2.7
million).
Gross profit of $657,000 in the first
half of fiscal 2010 decreased $0.7 million from the same period last year, and
changed from 17.9% to 14.3% as a percentage of Technology Segment net sales
(customer plus inter-segment net sales). The decrease is related to
the drop in sales volume.
Selling and administrative expenses of
$546,000 in the first half of fiscal year 2010 decreased $0.5 million, and
decreased to 11.9% from 13.0% as a percentage of Technology Segment net sales
(customer plus inter-segment net sales). Selling and administrative
expenses were down in line with reduced net sales, including $0.1 million
reduced bad debt expense.
The
Technology Segment first half fiscal 2010 operating income of $111,000 compares
to $372,000 in the same period last year. The decrease in operating
income of $0.3 million was the net result of decreased net sales and gross
profit, partially offset by decreased selling and administrative
expenses.

Electronic
Components Segment results include the operations of LSI ADL Technology, a
subsidiary that the Company acquired in July 2009. Therefore, the net
sales and operating income in fiscal 2010 are incremental additions to the
Company’s results as there were no net sales or operating income in fiscal
2009. Operating income in the first half of fiscal 2010 was reduced
by $610,000 related to the roll-out of fair value inventory adjustments for LSI
ADL Technology’s sales of products that were in finished goods or
work-in-process inventory on the acquisition date and therefore were valued at
fair value, as opposed to manufactured cost, in the opening balance sheet in
accordance with the requirements of purchase accounting. The final
such inventory adjustment of $68,000 is expected to unfavorably impact the third
quarter of fiscal 2010 as the remaining specific inventory items are
sold.

All Other
Category net sales of $3,357,000 in the first half of fiscal 2010 decreased
28.3% from first half fiscal 2009 net sales of $4,681,000. The $1.3
million decrease in the All Other Category net sales is primarily the net result
of decreased sales to two quick service restaurant menu board customers ($0.8
million), decreased sales of electrical wire harnesses ($0.7 million) and
changes in volume or completion of other customer programs.
Gross
profit of $519,000 in the first half of fiscal 2010 decreased $0.5 million or
47% from the same period last year, and decreased from 12.8% to 10.7% as a
percentage of the All Other Category net sales (customer plus inter-segment net
sales). The decrease in amount of gross profit is primarily due to
decreased net sales and margins.
Selling and administrative expenses of
$6,161,000, which includes Corporate administration expenses, in the first half
of fiscal year 2010 decreased $1.2 million primarily as a result of the $1.3
million goodwill impairment charge recorded in the second quarter of fiscal year
2009. Changes of expense between years include acquisition deal costs
associated with the acquisition of LSI ADL Technology ($0.5 million increased
expense), decreased menu board patent settlement expense ($0.2 million),
decreased outside services expense ($0.3 million), and increased research and
development expense ($0.4 million).
The All
Other Category first half fiscal 2010 operating loss of $(5,730,000) compares to
an operating loss of $(6,351,000) in the same period last year. This
$0.6 million decreased loss was the net result of decreased net sales and
decreased gross profit, and decreased selling and administrative
expenses.
Consolidated
Results
The Company reported net interest
expense of $66,000 in the first half of fiscal 2010 as compared to net interest
expense of $4,000 last year. The Company borrowed on its lines of
credit occasionally in the first half of fiscal 2009 and essentially its only
borrowings in the first half of fiscal 2010 were related to the mortgage loan
assumed in the acquisition of AdL Technology. Commitment fees related
to the unused portions of the Company’s lines of credit, and interest income on
invested cash are included in the net interest expense amounts
above.
The
$2,135,000 income tax expense (consolidated effective tax rate of 39.8%) in the
first half of fiscal 2010 reflects an effective tax rate of 40.7% for the
Company’s U.S. operations combined with a 30.4% effective tax rate for the
Company’s Canadian operation. The U.S. effective tax rate has
increased as compared to prior years because of the significance of certain
permanent book-tax differences relative to the amount of taxable income, as well
as an increase in state income taxes. Income tax expense in the first
half of fiscal 2009 was $895,000 even though the Company had a
pre-tax loss of $(9,795,000). This results from the fact that the
majority of the goodwill impairment expense of $13.3 million is given
unfavorable income tax treatment and is not able to be deducted. The
effective tax rate was 29.4% for the Company’s U.S. operations and
was 30.9% for the Company’s Canadian operation.
The
Company reported a net income of $3,229,000 in the first half of fiscal 2010 as
compared to a net loss of $(10,690,000) in the same period last
year. The increased net income is primarily the result of increased
net sales, increased gross profit, goodwill impairment in fiscal 2009 and none
in fiscal 2010, decreased operating expenses, partially offset by increased net
interest expense and increased income tax expense. Diluted earnings
per share were $0.13 in the first half of fiscal 2010 as compared to a loss of
$(0.49) in the same period last year. The weighted average common shares
outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share in fiscal 2010
were 23,986,000 shares as compared to 21,798,000 shares last year, with the
increase in shares primarily related to the weighted effect of the 2,469,676
common shares issued in July 2009 for the acquisition of AdL
Technology.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
The Company considers its level of cash
on hand, borrowing capacity, current ratio and working capital levels to be its
most important measures of short-term liquidity. For long-term
liquidity indicators, the Company believes its ratio of long-term debt to equity
and its historical levels of net cash flows from operating activities to be the
most important measures.
At December 31, 2009, the Company had
working capital of $76.4 million, compared to $72.5 million at June 30,
2009. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 5.48 to
1 as compared to a ratio of 4.70 to 1 at June 30, 2009. The $3.9
million increase in working capital from June 30, 2009 to December 31, 2009,
which was influenced by the acquisition of AdL Technology in July 2009, was
primarily related to increased net accounts receivable ($2.0 million), increased
inventory ($1.6 million), decreased accounts payable ($1.0 million), decreased
accrued expenses ($1.6 million) and increased cash and cash equivalents ($0.4
million), partially offset by decreased other current assets ($2.6
million). The Company has a strategy of aggressively managing working
capital, including reduction of the accounts receivable days sales outstanding
(DSO) and reduction of inventory levels, without reducing service to our
customers.
The Company generated $8.0 million of
cash from operating activities in the first half of fiscal 2010 as compared to a
generation of $6.6 million in the same period last year. This $1.4
million increase in net cash flows from operating activities is primarily the
net result of greater net income ($13.9 million favorable), goodwill impairment
in fiscal 2009 and none in fiscal 2010 ($13.3 million unfavorable), an increase
in accounts receivable rather than a decrease (unfavorable change of $3.6
million), less of a decrease in inventories (unfavorable change of $4.7
million), more of a reduction in customer prepayments (unfavorable change of
$0.4 million), an increase rather than a decrease in accounts payable and other
(favorable change of $9.2 million), a decrease rather than an increase in the
reserve for bad debts (unfavorable $0.3 million), a larger increase in obsolete
inventory reserves (favorable $0.2 million) and less of a decrease in deferred
income tax assets rather than an increase (favorable $0.3 million).
Net accounts receivable were $31.7
million and $29.7 million at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009,
respectively. The increase of $2.0 million in net receivables is
primarily due to combined effects of a higher amount of net sales in the second
quarter of fiscal 2010 as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009,
decreased DSO, and the addition of LSI ADL Technology ($3.0
million). The DSO decreased to 46 days at December 31, 2009 from 51
days at June 30, 2009. The Company believes that its receivables are
ultimately collectible or recoverable, net of certain reserves, and that
aggregate allowances for doubtful accounts are adequate.
Net inventories at December 31, 2009
increased $1.6 million from June 30, 2009 levels. Based on a strategy of
reducing inventory and in response to customer programs and the timing of
shipments, first half fiscal 2010 inventory increases occurred in the Lighting
Segment of approximately $0.1 million (some of this inventory supports certain
graphics programs), and in the All Other Category of approximately $0.1 million,
and inventory decreases occurred in the Technology Segment of approximately $1.1
million and the Graphics Segment of approximately $0.8
million. Additionally, the Company acquired AdL Technology (reported
in the Electronic Components Segment), which increased net inventory in the
first half of fiscal 2010 by $3.4 million.
Cash generated from operations and
borrowing capacity under two line of credit facilities are the Company’s primary
source of liquidity. The Company has an unsecured $40 million
revolving line of credit with its bank group, with all $40 million of the credit
line available as of February 5, 2010. This line of credit consists
of a $30 million committed credit facility expiring in the third quarter of
fiscal 2011 and a $10 million committed credit facility expiring in the third
quarter of fiscal 2010. Additionally, the Company has a separate $5
million line of credit, renewable annually in the third fiscal quarter, for the
working capital needs of its Canadian subsidiary, LSI Saco
Technologies. As of February 5, 2010, all $5 million of this line of
credit is available. The Company intends to let the $10 million
credit facility expire in March 2010, and intends to renew the $30 million
committed credit facility as well as the $5 million Canadian credit
facility. The Company believes that $35 million total renewed lines
of credit plus cash flows from operating activities are adequate for the
Company’s fiscal 2010 operational and capital expenditure needs. The
Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants.
The Company used $3.0 million of cash
related to investing activities in the first half of fiscal 2010 as compared to
a use of $0.9 million in the same period last year, an unfavorable change of
$2.1 million. One of the changes between years relates to the amount
of fixed assets purchased, $2,280,000 in fiscal 2010 as compared to $888,000
last year ($1.4 million unfavorable). Spending in both periods is
primarily for tooling and equipment. The other change between years
relates to the fiscal 2010 acquisition of AdL Technology, net of cash received
($0.7 million unfavorable) . The Company expects fiscal 2010 capital
expenditures to be approximately $7.0 million, exclusive of business
acquisitions. The increase in expected capital expenditures for
fiscal 2010 over previous estimates relates to the Company’s strategy of
devoting an additional $4 million to increase manufacturing capacity and replace
old technology with updated state-of-the-art equipment during this recessionary
period so as to be fully prepared when the economy improves.
The Company used $4.7 million of cash
related to financing activities in the first half of fiscal 2010 as compared to
a use of $4.5 million in the same period last year. The $0.2 million
unfavorable change between periods is primarily related to the payment of
long-term debt on the opening balance sheet of the acquired LSI ADL Technology
as compared to the fiscal 2009 pay down of the Company’s line of credit ($2.2
million unfavorable) and lower cash dividend payments ($1.9 million
favorable). The $1.9 million reduction in dividend payments between
years is primarily the result of a lower per share quarterly dividend rate
beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
The Company has financial instruments
consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments,
revolving lines of credit, and long-term debt. The fair value of
these financial instruments approximates carrying value because of their
short-term maturity and/or variable, market-driven interest
rates. The Company has no financial instruments with off-balance
sheet risk and has no off balance sheet arrangements.
On January 20, 2010, the Board of
Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share
(approximately $1,202,000) payable February 9, 2010 to shareholders of
record on February 2, 2010. The Company’s cash dividend policy
is that the indicated annual dividend rate will be set between 50% and 70% of
the expected net income for the current fiscal year. Consideration
will also be given by the Board to special year-end cash or stock dividends. The
declaration and amount of any cash and stock dividends will be determined by the
Company’s Board of Directors, in its discretion, based upon its evaluation of
earnings, cash flow, capital requirements and future business developments and
opportunities, including acquisitions. Accordingly, the Board
established an indicated annual cash dividend rate of $0.20 per share beginning
with the first quarter of fiscal 2010 consistent with the above dividend
policy.
Critical Accounting Policies
and Estimates
The Company is required to make
estimates and judgments in the preparation of its financial statements that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and
related footnote disclosures. The Company bases its estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities. The Company continually reviews these estimates and
their underlying assumptions to ensure they remain appropriate. The
Company believes the items discussed below are among its most significant
accounting policies because they utilize estimates about the effect of matters
that are inherently uncertain and therefore are based on management’s
judgment. Significant changes in the estimates or assumptions related
to any of the following critical accounting policies could possibly have a
material impact on the financial statements.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenue is recognized when title to
goods and risk of loss have passed to the customer, there is persuasive evidence
of a purchase arrangement, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered,
and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenue is typically
recognized at time of shipment. In certain arrangements with
customers, as is the case with the sale of some of our solid-state LED video
screens, revenue is recognized upon customer acceptance of the video screen at
the job site. Sales are recorded net of estimated returns, rebates
and discounts. Amounts received from customers prior to the
recognition of revenue are accounted for as customer pre-payments and are
included in accrued expenses.
The Company has four sources of
revenue: revenue from product sales; revenue from installation of
products; service revenue generated from providing integrated design, project
and construction management, site engineering and site permitting; and revenue
from shipping and handling.
Product revenue is recognized on
product-only orders upon passing of title and risk of loss, generally at time of
shipment. However, product revenue related to orders where the
customer requires the Company to install the product is recognized when the
product is installed. Other than normal product warranties or the
possibility of installation or post-shipment service, support and maintenance of
certain solid state LED video screens, billboards, or active digital signage,
the Company has no post-shipment responsibilities.
Installation revenue is recognized when
the products have been fully installed. The Company is not always
responsible for installation of products it sells and has no post-installation
responsibilities, other than normal warranties.
Service revenue from integrated design,
project and construction management, and site permitting is recognized when all
products have been installed at each individual retail site of the customer on a
proportional performance basis.
Shipping and handling revenue coincides
with the recognition of revenue from sale of the product.
The Company evaluates the
appropriateness of revenue recognition in accordance with Accounting Standards
Codification (ASC) Subtopic 605-25, Revenue
Recognition: Multiple–Element Arrangements, and ASC Subtopic 985-605,
Software: Revenue Recognition. Our solid-state LED video
screens, billboards and active digital signage contain software elements which
the Company has determined are incidental and excluded from the scope of ASC
Subtopic 985-605.
Income
Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes
in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Income
Taxes. Accordingly, deferred income taxes are provided on items that
are reported as either income or expense in different time periods for financial
reporting purposes than they are for income tax purposes. Deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are reported on the Company’s balance
sheet. Significant management judgment is required in developing the
Company’s income tax provision, including the determination of deferred tax
assets and liabilities and any valuation allowances that might be required
against deferred tax assets.
The Company operates in multiple taxing
jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. The
Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities routinely review the
Company’s tax returns. These audits can involve complex issues which
may require an extended period of time to resolve. In management’s
opinion, adequate provision has been made for potential adjustments arising from
these examinations.
The Company is recording estimated
interest and penalties related to potential underpayment of income taxes as a
component of tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations. The reserve for uncertain tax positions is not expected
to change significantly in the next 12 months.
Asset
Impairment
Carrying values of goodwill and other
intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed at least annually for
possible impairment in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic
350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The Company’s impairment
review involves the estimation of the fair value of goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangible assets using a combination of a market approach and
an income (discounted cash flow) approach, at the reporting unit level, that
requires significant management judgment with respect to revenue and expense
growth rates, changes in working capital and the selection and use of an
appropriate discount rate. The estimates of fair value of reporting
units are based on the best information available as of the date of the
assessment. The use of different assumptions would increase or
decrease estimated discounted future operating cash flows and could increase or
decrease an impairment charge. Company management uses its judgment
in assessing whether assets may have become impaired between annual impairment
tests. Indicators such as adverse business conditions, economic
factors and technological change or competitive activities may signal that an
asset has become impaired. Also see Note 7.
Carrying
values for long-lived tangible assets and definite-lived intangible assets,
excluding goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for
possible impairment as circumstances warrant in connection with Accounting
Standards Codification Topic 360, Property, Plant, and
Equipment. Impairment reviews are conducted at the judgment of
Company management when it believes that a change in circumstances in the
business or external factors warrants a review. Circumstances such as
the discontinuation of a product or product line, a sudden or consistent decline
in the forecast for a product, changes in technology or in the way an asset is
being used, a history of negative operating cash flow, or an adverse change in
legal factors or in the business climate, among others, may trigger an
impairment review. The Company’s initial impairment review to
determine if a potential impairment charge is required is based on an
undiscounted cash flow analysis at the lowest level for which identifiable cash
flows exist. The analysis requires judgment with respect to changes
in technology, the continued success of product lines and future volume, revenue
and expense growth rates, and discount rates.
Credit
and Collections
The Company maintains allowances for
doubtful accounts receivable for probable estimated losses resulting from either
customer disputes or the inability of its customers to make required
payments. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were
to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make the required payments, the
Company may be required to record additional allowances or charges against
income. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by
first considering all known collectibility problems of customers’ accounts, and
then applying certain percentages against the various aging categories based on
the due date of the remaining receivables. The resulting allowance
for doubtful accounts receivable is an estimate based upon the Company’s
knowledge of its business and customer base, and historical
trends. The Company also establishes allowances, at the time revenue
is recognized, for returns and allowances, discounts, pricing and other possible
customer deductions. These allowances are based upon historical
trends.
New
Accounting Pronouncements:
In October 2009, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2009-14, “Certain Revenue Arrangements
That Include Software Elements.” This Standard Update clarifies when revenue can
be recognized when tangible products contain both software and non-software
components in a multiple deliverable arrangement. This update will be effective
prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in
fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 or the Company’s fiscal year
2011. The Company does not expect any impact on its consolidated
results of operations, cash flows or financial position when this ASU is
adopted.
In October 2009, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2009-13, “Multiple Deliverable Revenue
Arrangements.” This Standard Update enables companies to account for products or
services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit in certain
circumstances. Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 605-25, Revenue
Recognition: Multiple-Element Arrangements, establishes the
accounting and reporting guidance for arrangements under which the vendor will
perform multiple revenue-generating activities. The Subtopic addresses how to
separate deliverables and how to measure and allocate arrangement consideration
to one or more units of accounting. This update will be effective prospectively
for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years
beginning on or after June 15, 2010 or the Company’s fiscal year 2011. The
Company does not expect any impact on its consolidated results of operations,
cash flows or financial position when this ASU is adopted.
