RICHARDSON ELECTRONICS, LTD.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY

Richardson Electronics, Ltd. (“we”, “us”, and “our”) was originally incorporated in the state of Illinois in 1947 and is currently incorporated in the state of Delaware. We are a global provider of engineered solutions, a global distributor of electronic components to the radio frequency, wireless and power management, and electron device markets, and a global provider of display solutions to the display systems markets. Utilizing our core engineering and manufacturing capabilities, our strategy is to provide specialized technical expertise and value-add, or “engineered solutions.” We provide solutions and add value through design-in support, systems integration, prototype design and manufacturing, testing, and logistics for end products of our customers. Design-in support includes component modifications or the identification of lower-cost product alternatives or complementary products.

Our products include RF and microwave components, power semiconductors, electron tubes, microwave generators, 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, and communication applications.

On October 1, 2010, we entered into an acquisition agreement which provides that Arrow Electronics, Inc. (“Arrow”) will acquire all of the assets primarily used or held for use in, our Radio Frequency, Wireless & Power Division (“RFPD”), as well as certain other assets, including our information technology assets, in exchange for $210 million in cash payable at closing, subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment (the “Transaction”).

After the Transaction is completed, which we expect to be within the next 60 days, we will have two operating segments, which we define as follows:

Electron Device Group (“EDG”) provides engineered solutions and distributes electronic components to customers in diverse markets including the steel, automotive, textile, plastics, semiconductor manufacturing, and broadcast industries.

Canvys provides global integrated display products, systems and digital signage solutions serving the financial, corporate enterprise, healthcare, and industrial markets.

We currently have operations in the following major geographic regions:

•

North America;

•

Asia/Pacific;

•

Europe; and

•

Latin America.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income for the fiscal year ended May 29, 2010, and three and six months ended November 28, 2009, have been restated to reflect the impending sale of RFPD to Arrow Electronics, Inc. See Note 4 “Discontinued Operations” of our notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional discussion on the sale of our RFPD segment.

Our fiscal quarter ends on the Saturday nearest the end of the quarter ending month. The first six months of fiscal 2011 and 2010 each contained 26 weeks.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of interim periods have been made. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries. The results of our operations for the three and six months ended November 27, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending May 28, 2011.

The financial information contained in this report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 29, 2010.

3. UPDATES TO CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Inventories: Our worldwide inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, generally using a weighted-average cost method. Inventories include material, labor, and overhead associated with such inventories. Substantially all inventories represent finished goods held for sale.

We do not anticipate any material risks or uncertainties related to possible inventory write-downs for the remainder of our fiscal 2011, ending May 28, 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. Our sales are recorded net of 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 a limited number of cases, we provide and bill our customers with non-product related services, such as testing, calibration, non-recurring engineering, tooling, and installation services. We have concluded that the service revenue should not be considered a separate unit of accounting from the product sale as we have determined there is no objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered items.

We have also concluded that, in the limited cases where remaining obligations exist after delivery of the product, the obligation relative to the unit of accounting is inconsequential or perfunctory. 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 minimal, 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 the service.

Discontinued Operations: In accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements- Discontinued Operations (“ASC 205-20”), we reported the results of RFPD as a discontinued operation. The application of ASC 205-20 is discussed in Note 4 “Discontinued Operations” of our notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional discussion on the sale of our RFPD segment.

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.

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Arrow Transaction

On October 1, 2010, we entered into an acquisition agreement which provides that Arrow will acquire all of the assets primarily used or held for use in RFPD, as well as certain other assets, including our information technology assets, in exchange for $210 million in cash payable at closing, subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment.

To help facilitate the transition of RFPD to Arrow Electronics, 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. The duration of the transitional services are expected to be less than one year from the closing date of the Transaction. 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 these transitional services are also expected to be less than one year from the closing date of the Transaction, except for the information technology services which is expected to be three years. In addition, we will also enter into a Manufacturing Agreement with Arrow, in connection with the Transaction, for a term of three years. Pursuant to the Manufacturing Agreement, we will agree to manufacture and sell certain products used in the RFPD business to Arrow.

The Transition Services Agreement, which commences upon the closing of the Transaction, will allow us to exert very limited influence over RFPD’s operating and financial policies. Also, 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 the revenue and costs associated 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 in discontinued operations as it also relates specifically to RFPD.

Honeywell Transaction

On May 31, 2007, we completed the sale of the Security Systems Division/Burtek Systems (“SSD/Burtek”) to Honeywell International Inc. (“Honeywell”). The sale agreement of SSD/Burtek to Honeywell contemplated a post-closing working capital-based purchase price adjustment. During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we received notification from Honeywell seeking a purchase price adjustment and we issued a dispute notice in a timely manner. On December 18, 2009, we reached an agreement with Honeywell to settle the pending working capital disputes as well as other related claims. As a result, we recorded $1.2 million of expense, net of zero tax effect, as a loss from discontinued operations, for the second quarter ended November 28, 2009.

Financial Summary

Net sales, gross profit, selling, general, and administrative expenses, interest expense, investment income, income tax provision, and income from discontinued operations for the three and six month periods ended November 27, 2010, and November 28, 2009, are presented in the following table (in thousands):


	Three Months					Six Months
	Nov 27, 2010		Nov 28, 2009			Nov 27, 2010		Nov 28, 2009
Net sales	$	108,786	$	82,818		$	208,420	$	162,296
Gross profit		23,120		18,141			44,320		35,543
Selling, general, and administrative expenses		15,014		14,257			27,764		26,792
Interest expense		101		774			268		1,580
Investment income		—		(19	)		—		(42	)
Income tax provision/(benefit)		714		(267	)		1,074		(366	)
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax		7,291		3,396			15,214		7,579

In accordance with ASC 205-20, the allocation of interest expense to discontinued operations of other consolidated interest that is not directly attributable to or related to other operations of the entity is permitted but not required. The consolidated interest that cannot be attributable to other operations of the entity is allocated based on the ratio of net assets to be sold or discontinued to the total consolidated net assets. We appropriately allocated approximately $0.1 million and $0.8 million of interest expense to discontinued operations for the three months ended November 27, 2010, and November 28, 2009, respectively, using the ratio of net assets to be sold or discontinued to the total consolidated net assets. We allocated approximately $0.3 million and $1.6 million of interest expense to discontinued operations for the six months ended November 27, 2010, and November 28, 2009, using the same allocation methodology.

Assets and liabilities classified as discontinued operations on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of November 27, 2010, and May 29, 2010, include the following (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 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 currently do not have cash balances that are specific to RFPD and as a result, we believe that the appropriate presentation would be to not separate cash flows from discontinued operations on our statement of cash flows.

5. INVESTMENT IN MARKETABLE EQUITY SECURITIES

Our investments are primarily equity securities, all of which are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at their fair value based on the quoted market prices. Our investments, which are included in other non-current assets, had a carrying amount of $0.3 million as of November 27, 2010, and May 29, 2010, respectively. Proceeds from the sale of securities were $0.1 million during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2011 and 2010. Gross realized gains and losses on those sales were less than $0.1 million during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2011 and 2010. Net unrealized holding gains of less than $0.1 million during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, have been included in accumulated other comprehensive income.

The following table presents the disclosure as required by ASC 320-10, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities, for the investment in marketable equity securities with fair values less than cost basis (in thousands):

6. 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.

Warranty reserves are established for costs that are expected to be incurred after the sale and delivery of products under warranty. The warranty reserves are determined based on known product failures, historical experience, and other available evidence. Warranty reserves, which are included in accrued liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, were approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million as of November 27, 2010, and May 29, 2010, respectively.

7. DEBT

Credit Agreement

On May 28, 2010, we entered into a sixth amendment (“Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the revolving credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) by and among us, certain of our subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto, and JP Morgan Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement Amendment increased the aggregate commitment for the revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement from $20.0 million to $40.0 million and extended the termination date of the Credit Agreement from October 31, 2010, to May 31, 2013, or any earlier day on which the aggregate commitment is reduced to zero or the Credit Agreement is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms. The Credit Agreement Amendment also requires us to maintain a leverage ratio of less than 2.5 to 1.0 at all times after March 1, 2008. The Credit Agreement Amendment permitted us to redeem all of our outstanding 7 ³/4% convertible senior subordinated notes (“7 ³/4% Notes”), provided that no default or un-matured default under the Credit Agreement has occurred and continued on the date of the redemption and provided further that the represented and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement were true and correct on the date of the redemption and remain true and correct after giving effect to the redemption. We used proceeds from the Credit Agreement to redeem the 7 ³/4% Notes.

On August 26, 2010, we notified JP Morgan Bank, N.A., to reduce our aggregate commitment on our revolving credit line from $40.0 million to $36.0 million.

On November 10, 2010, we notified JP Morgan Bank, N.A., to reduce our aggregate commitment on our revolving credit line from $36.0 million to $32.0 million.

As of November 27, 2010, there was $18.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit agreement. There were no amounts outstanding under the reserve for usage on our commercial credit card program and outstanding letters of credit were approximately $0.1 million, leaving an unused line of $13.9 million. Based on our loan covenants, actual available credit as of November 27, 2010, was $13.9 million. We were in compliance with our loan covenants as of November 27, 2010.

7 ³/4% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes

On June 1, 2010, we notified the holders of our 7³/4% Notes that we elected to redeem all $19.5 million of the aggregate outstanding principal amount. We redeemed the 7 ³/4% Notes on June 11, 2010, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

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 during the first six months of fiscal 2011 was $1.5 million. Under the terms of the Transaction, Arrow will be assuming many of our facility leases and we will sub-lease space from Arrow. Our future lease commitments for minimum rentals, including common area maintenance charges and property taxes during the second half of fiscal 2011 and the next four years have been adjusted to reflect the Transaction as follows (in thousands) :


Fiscal Year	Payments
Second Half of Fiscal 2011	$	972
2012	$	1,263
2013	$	513
2014	$	234
2015	$	231
Thereafter	$	539

9. INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rate from continuing operations during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2011 was a tax provision of 61.6% and 39.7%, respectively, as compared to a tax benefit of 57.4% and 18.2% for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2010, respectively.

The difference between the effective tax rate as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35.0% and 34.0% during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010 resulted from our geographical distribution of taxable income or losses, valuation allowances in the U.S. and several foreign jurisdictions, the use of net operating losses that had a valuation allowance, and changes in foreign tax reserves from both new tax reserves and the release of tax reserves due to expiring statute of limitations. There were no changes in judgment during the quarter 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.

In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. We are no longer subject to either U.S. federal, state, or local tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to fiscal 2004. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to fiscal 2003. Our primary foreign tax jurisdictions are China, Japan, Germany, Singapore, and the Netherlands. We have tax years open in Singapore beginning in fiscal 2003; in Japan, the Netherlands and Germany beginning in fiscal 2005; and in China beginning in calendar year 2005.

As a result of the Transaction to sell RFPD, we no longer consider approximately $26.0 million of undistributed foreign earnings to be permanently reinvested in our non-U.S. subsidiaries. We currently have a valuation allowance against substantially all of our U.S. deferred tax assets. We have not provided for U.S. deferred income taxes or foreign withholding tax on the remainder of undistributed earnings from our non-U.S. subsidiaries because such earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested and it is not practicable to estimate the amount of tax that may be payable upon distribution.

As of November 27, 2010, our worldwide liability for uncertain tax positions, excluding interest and penalties, was $3.5 million as compared to $3.3 million as of May 29, 2010. We record penalties and interest relating to uncertain tax positions in the income tax expense line item within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

It is reasonably possible that there will be a change in the unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, in the range of $0 to approximately $0.4 million due to the expiration of various statutes of limitations and uncertain tax positions being effectively settled with taxing authorities within the next 12 months.

10. CALCULATION OF 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 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 common stock cash dividends.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income, adjusted for interest savings, net of tax, on assumed conversion of convertible debentures and notes, by the actual shares outstanding and share equivalents that would arise from the exercise of stock options, certain restricted stock awards, and the assumed conversion of convertible debentures and notes when dilutive. For the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2011, our 7 ³/4% Notes were repurchased, thus eliminating any effect from the dilutive calculation. For the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2010, the assumed conversion and the effect of the interest savings of our 7³/4% Notes were excluded because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

The earnings per share (“EPS”) presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income are based on the following amounts (in thousands, except per share amounts):

We sell our products to customers in diversified industries and perform periodic credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition. Terms are generally on open account, payable net 30 days in North America, and vary throughout Asia/Pacific, Europe, and Latin America. Estimates of credit losses are recorded in the financial statements based on monthly reviews of outstanding accounts. Corporate primarily includes unabsorbed value-add costs and other unallocated expenses.

12. 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 November 27, 2010, we held investments that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Our investments primarily consist of 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 November 27, 2010, were as follows (in thousands):


	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Equity securities	$	358	$	—	$	—

13. 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.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Certain statements in this report may constitute “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The terms “may,” “should,” “could,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “continues,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “objective,” “plan,” “potential,” “project” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. These statements are based on management’s current expectations, intentions or beliefs and are subject to a number of factors, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences or that might otherwise impact the business include the risk factors set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. We undertake no obligation to update any such factor or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should consider carefully the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, in addition to the other information included and incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

In addition, while we do, from time to time, communicate with securities analysts, it is against our policy to disclose to them any material non-public information or other confidential commercial information. Accordingly, stockholders should not assume that we agree with any statement or report issued by any analyst irrespective of the content of the statement or report. Thus, to the extent that reports issued by securities analysts contain any projections, forecasts, or opinions, such reports are not our responsibility.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

As a result of the pending Transaction, RFPD is presented as a discontinued operation for our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended November 27, 2010, and November 28, 2009.

We estimate that our after-tax proceeds from the Transaction will be approximately $180 - $185 million. We have not yet determined how we will use the proceeds, but we may use them for a variety of purposes, including any or all of the following: strategic acquisitions, repurchases of outstanding shares of common stock, dividends to stockholders and general corporate purposes.

The strategic acquisitions that we may pursue include technology related to the engineering and manufacturing of components, including components used in alternative energy markets. However, we have not yet made any decisions regarding any acquisitions or any other use of the proceeds from the Transaction.

We are developing a plan to align our cost structure for our remaining businesses after the closing of the Transaction with the near–term goal of achieving a 5% operating margin.

After the Transaction is completed, which we expect to be within the next 60 days, we will have two operating segments, which we define as follows:

Canvys provides global integrated display products, systems and digital signage solutions serving the financial, corporate enterprise, healthcare, and industrial markets.

We currently have operations in the following major geographic regions:

•

North America;

•

Asia/Pacific;

•

Europe; and

•

Latin America.

Net Sales and Gross Profit Analysis

During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, consolidated net sales increased 23.7% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2010, reflecting a 42.4% sales growth in EDG, offset by a 5.2% decline in sales for Canvys. During the first six months of fiscal 2011, consolidated net sales increased 24.3% compared to the first six months of fiscal 2010, reflecting a 44.3% sales growth in EDG, offset by a 7.7% decline in sales for Canvys.

Net sales by segment and percent change during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2011 and 2010 were as follows (in thousands):


Net Sales

	FY 2011		FY 2010		% Change
Second Quarter
EDG	$	28,655	$	20,121		42.4	%
Canvys		12,325		12,995		(5.2	%)

Total	$	40,980	$	33,116		23.7	%

Canvys		22,342		24,213		(7.7	%)

Total	$	78,490	$	63,130		24.3	%

Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 28.8% during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, as compared to 32.9% during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 and to 29.5% during the first six months of fiscal 2011, as compared to 31.6% during the first six months of fiscal 2010. The decrease primarily reflects a distribution agreement that requires us to maintain customer price commitments.

Gross profit reflects the distribution and manufacturing product margin less manufacturing variances, inventory obsolescence charges, customer returns, scrap and cycle count adjustments, engineering costs, and other provisions.

Gross profit by segment and percent of segment net sales during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2011 and 2010 were as follows (in thousands):

Electron Device Group

Net sales for EDG were $28.7 million, up 42.4%, during the second quarter of Fiscal 2011 compared to $20.1 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2010. This increase reflects incremental sales volume from a distribution agreement and growing demand as our customers benefit from improving economic conditions. Our products support the industrial power grid business, the semiconductor wafer fabrication equipment industry and the broadcast industry. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased to 31.2% during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, as compared to 36.6% during the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The significant decline in the gross margin percentage primarily reflects the lower-margin business that was transferred to EDG under the terms of a distribution agreement. As the terms of the pricing commitments included in the distribution agreement expire, we expect EDG’s gross margin percentage will improve.

Net sales for EDG were $56.1 million, up 44.3% during the first six months of fiscal 2011, from $38.9 million during the first six month of fiscal 2010. This increase reflects incremental sales volume from a major distribution agreement that began in March 2010 as well as increased demand reflecting improving economic conditions. Overall demand for tubes continues to show tremendous growth across all EDG product lines. As equipment is returned to active production, we are experiencing growing demand for our products that support this equipment. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased to 32.1% during the first six months of fiscal 2011, as compared to 35.0% during the first six months of fiscal 2010. The decline in our gross margin percentage primarily reflects the lower-margin business that was transferred to EDG under the terms of a distribution agreement. As these pricing commitments included in the distribution agreement expire, we expect EDG’s gross margin percentage will improve.

Canvys

Net sales for Canvys were $12.3 million, down 5.2%, during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $13.0 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Sales to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) were relatively flat in both North America and Europe. Sales to healthcare and digital signage customers were down significantly primarily reflecting the loss of non-repeating projects to large customers. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 decreased to 23.1%, compared to 27.2% in the prior year’s quarter. The lower margin percentage reflects competitive price pressure as well as the impact of the weakening US dollar. In addition, gross margin in fiscal 2011 was affected by rising inbound freight costs.

Net sales for Canvys were $22.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2011, compared to $24.2 million during the first six months of fiscal 2010. Sales to digital signage and healthcare customers declined in the first half of fiscal 2011 as compared to the first half of fiscal 2010. Sales of medical imaging equipment to the healthcare industry declined as hospitals reduced their capital spending while digital signage was impacted by non-recurring projects for large customers. Sales to Original Equipment Manufacturers increased as existing customers began to increase their purchases as the economy improved. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased to 23.2% during the first six months of fiscal 2011 as compared to 26.2% during the first six months of fiscal 2010 due primarily to increasing competitive pressures, rising inbound freight cost and the mix of business between customer segments.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $11.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $10.6 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The $11.2 million and $10.6 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively, reflects the SG&A that does not specifically relate to RFPD. The increase in SG&A during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 relates to start up costs for a distribution agreement. We expect these incremental start up costs to continue for the balance of fiscal 2011.

Other (Income) Expense

Other (income) expense was $0.2 million of expense during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, as compared to $0.9 million of expense during the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The decrease in expense during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 from the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was due primarily to lessened unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar and a reduction of interest expense related to the redemption of our 7 ³/4% Notes. Other (income) expense included a foreign exchange loss of $0.2 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, as compared to a foreign exchange loss of $0.7 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Our foreign exchange gains and losses are primarily due to the translation of our U.S. currency we have in non-U.S. entities. We currently do not utilize derivative instruments to manage our exposure to foreign currency. The second quarter of fiscal 2011 included interest expense of less than $0.1 million, as compared to interest expense of $0.3 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2010.

Other (income) expense was $0.4 million of expense during the first six months of fiscal 2011, as compared to $2.1 million of expense during the first six months of fiscal 2010. The decrease in expense during the first six months of fiscal 2011 from the first six months of fiscal 2010 was due primarily to lessened unfavorable changes in foreign currency

exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar and a reduction of interest expense related to the redemption of our 7 ³/4% Notes. Other (income) expense included a foreign exchange loss of $0.3 million during the first six months of fiscal 2011, as compared to a foreign exchange loss of $1.5 million during the first six months of fiscal 2010. Our foreign exchange gains and losses are primarily due to the translation of our U.S. currency we have in non-U.S. entities. We currently do not utilize derivative instruments to manage our exposure to foreign currency. The first six months of fiscal 2011 included interest expense of $0.1 million, as compared to interest expense of $0.7 million during the first six months of fiscal 2010.

In accordance with ASC 205-20, the allocation of interest expense to discontinued operations of other consolidated interest that is not directly attributable to or related to other operations of the entity is permitted but not required. The consolidated interest that cannot be attributable to other operations of the entity is allocated based on the ratio of net assets to be sold or discontinued to the total consolidated net assets. We appropriately allocated approximately $0.1 million and $0.8 million of interest expense to discontinued operations for the three months ended November 27, 2010, and November 28, 2009, respectively, using the ratio of net assets that we are selling or that become discontinued. We allocated approximately $0.3 million and $1.6 million of interest expense to discontinued operations for the six months ended November 27, 2010, and November 28, 2009, using the same allocation methodology.

Assets and liabilities classified as discontinued operations on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of November 27, 2010, and May 29, 2010, include the following (in thousands):

Net Income and Per Share Data

Net income during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $7.5 million, or $0.41 per diluted common share and $0.38 per Class B diluted common share, as compared to net income of $3.1 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2010, or $0.18 per diluted common share and $0.16 per Class B diluted common share.

Net income during the first six months of fiscal 2011 was $15.8 million, or $0.87 per diluted common share and $0.80 per Class B diluted common share, as compared to net income of $5.0 million during the first six months of fiscal 2010, or $0.28 per diluted common share and $0.26 per Class B diluted common share.

LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL POSITION, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our growth and cash needs have been primarily financed through income from operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Cash and cash equivalents for the second quarter ended November 27, 2010 were $33.0 million and our borrowings under our credit facility were $18.0 million. This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $29.0 million

and borrowings of $19.5 million as of May 29, 2010. Liquidity under our revolving credit facility is primarily available to fund our working capital requirements and support capital expenditures. As a result of accounting for RFPD as a discontinued operation, we anticipate that cash flow from operating activities will continue to be a source of cash. While net income will significantly decline as a result of the sale, our working capital and capital spending requirements will also significantly decline.

Cash Flows from Discontinued Operations

Given our cash position and access to additional capital through our revolving credit facility, we believe we will continue to have sufficient liquidity to meet the needs of the business through the closing date of the Transaction. Upon completion of the Transaction, we will receive after tax proceeds of approximately $180 to $185 million in cash. As a result, we believe we will have sufficient liquidity and flexibility to fund our growth initiatives. We also believe our working capital requirements and the need for capital expenditures will be minimal for the remainder of this fiscal year.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities, including our discontinued operations, during the first six months of fiscal 2011 was $3.2 million. The $3.2 million of cash provided by operating activities includes increases in accounts receivable and inventory partially offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The increase in accounts receivable of $11.2 million, excluding the impact of foreign exchange of $3.5 million, was due primarily to increased sales volume during the first six months of fiscal 2011. The increase in inventory of $10.0 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange of $0.6 million, during the first six months of fiscal 2011 was due primarily to increased purchasing to support future sales growth. The increase in accrued liabilities of $2.0 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange of $0.6 million, during the first six months of fiscal 2011 was due primarily to the timing of payments. The increase in accounts payable balances of $6.7 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange of $0.5 million, during the first six months of fiscal 2011 was due primarily to the timing of payments as well as the increase in inventory purchases.

Cash provided by operating activities, including our discontinued operations, during the first six months of fiscal 2010 was $4.7 million. The $4.7 million of cash provided by operating activities includes a decrease in receivables, inventory, and accounts payable. The decline in inventory of $5.9 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange of $1.8 million, during the first six months of fiscal 2010 was due primarily to a reduction in inventory purchases due to the decrease in sales volume. The decline in accounts receivable balances of $1.0 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange of $3.0 million, during the first six months of fiscal 2010 was due primarily to focused cash collection efforts as well as decreased sales volume. The decline in accounts payable balances of $8.7 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange of $0.5 million, during the first six months of fiscal 2010 was due primarily to the timing of payments and a decline in inventory purchases due to declining sales.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities, including our discontinued operations, of $0.5 million during the first six months of fiscal 2011 was due primarily to $0.5 million of capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities, including our discontinued operations, of $0.5 million during the first six months of fiscal 2010 was also due primarily to capital expenditures.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities, including discontinued operations, of $0.6 million during the first six months of fiscal 2011 was due primarily to borrowings on our credit agreement and proceeds from the issuance of common stock, partially offset by the redemption of our 7 ³/4% Notes and cash dividends paid. Net cash used in financing activities, including discontinued operations, of $0.7 million during the first six months of fiscal 2010 was due to primarily to cash dividends paid.

Dividend payments for the first six months of fiscal 2011 were approximately $0.7 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. Our Board of Directors paid a quarterly dividend of $0.02 per common share and $0.018 per Class B common share during the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

As of November 27, 2010, we maintained $18.0 million of short term debt on our credit agreement. On June 11, 2010, we redeemed all $19.5 million of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of our 7 ³/4% Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. See Note 7 “Debt” of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on the redemption.

We believe that the existing sources of liquidity, including current cash, cash to be provided by operating activities, and cash proceeds from the Transaction, supplemented as necessary with funds available under our credit arrangements, will provide sufficient resources to meet known capital requirements and working capital needs for the fiscal year ending May 28, 2011.

Updates to Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We do not anticipate any material risks or uncertainties related to possible inventory write-downs for the remainder of our fiscal 2011, ending May 28, 2011.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Risk Management and Market Sensitive Financial Instruments

We are exposed to various market risks. The primary financial risks include foreign currency exchange risks, as certain operations, assets, and liabilities of ours are denominated in foreign currencies, and fluctuations in interest rates, as some of our debt financing varies with market rates. 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 and interest 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 IA, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 29, 2010

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 2011 or fiscal 2010.

Interest Expense Exposure

Our credit agreement’s interest rates vary based on market interest rates. Our interest expense of $0.1 million as of November 27, 2010, positions us with an immaterial risk related to varying market rates.

ITEM 4.

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 November 27, 2010.

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 the end of the period covered by this report.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
