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 March 31, 2024, the results of its operations for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, and its cash flows for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2024, and 2023. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes included in the fiscal 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Financial information as of June 30, 2023, has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Consolidation:
A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company’s fiscal 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies the performance obligation in its customer contracts or purchase orders. Most of the Company’s products have a single performance obligation which is satisfied at a point in time when control is transferred to the customer. Control is generally transferred at time of shipment when title and risk of ownership passes to the customer. For customer contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price and any discounts to each performance obligation based on relative standalone selling prices. Payment terms are typically within 30 to 90 days from the shipping date, depending on the terms with the customer. The Company offers standard warranties that do not represent separate performance obligations.
Installation is a separate performance obligation, except for the Company’s digital signage products. For digital signage products, installation is not a separate performance obligation as the product and installation is the combined item promised in digital signage contracts. The Company is not always responsible for installation of products it sells and has no post-installation responsibilities other than standard warranties.
A number of the Company's display solutions and select lighting products are customized for specific customers. As a result, these customized products do not have an alternative use. For these products, the Company has a legal right to payment for performance to date and generally does not accept returns on these items. The measurement of performance is based upon cost plus a reasonable profit margin for work completed. Because there is no alternative use and there is a legal right to payment, the Company transfers control of the item as the item is being produced and therefore, recognizes revenue over time. The customized product types are as follows:
|
● |
Customer specific branded print graphics |
|
● |
Electrical components based on customer specifications |
|
● |
Digital signage and related media content |
The Company also offers installation services for its display solutions elements and select lighting products. Installation revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided through the installation process.
For these customized products and installation services, revenue is recognized using a cost-based input method: recognizing revenue and gross profit as work is performed based on the relationship between the actual cost incurred and the total estimated cost for the performance obligation.
On occasion, the Company enters into bill-and-hold arrangements on a limited basis. Each bill-and-hold arrangement is reviewed and revenue is recognized only when certain criteria have been met: (1) the customer has requested delayed delivery and storage of the products by the Company because the customer wants to secure a supply of the products but lacks storage space; (ii) the risk of ownership has passed to the customer; (iii) the products are segregated from the Company’s other inventory items held for sale; (iv) the products are ready for shipment to the customer; and (v) the Company does not have the ability to use the products or direct them to another customer.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company disaggregates the revenue from contracts with customers by the timing of revenue recognition because the Company believes it best depicts the nature, amount, and timing of its revenue and cash flows. The table below presents a reconciliation of the disaggregation by reportable segments:

Practical Expedients and Exemptions
|
● |
The Company’s contracts with customers have an expected duration of one year or less, as such, the Company applies the practical expedient to expense sales commissions as incurred and has omitted disclosures on the amount of remaining performance obligations. |
|
|
● |
Shipping costs that are not material in context of the delivery of products are expensed as incurred. |
|
|
● |
The Company’s accounts receivable balance represents the Company’s unconditional right to receive payment from its customers with contracts. Payments are generally due within 30 to 90 days of completion of the performance obligation and invoicing; therefore, payments do not contain significant financing components. |
|
|
● |
The Company collects sales tax and other taxes concurrent with revenue-producing activities which are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs are treated as fulfillment activities and included in cost of products and services sold on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
New Accounting Pronouncements:
In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers,” creating an exception to the recognition and measurement principles in ASC 805. The amendment requires that entities apply ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” rather than using fair value, to recognize and measure contracts assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, regardless of whether a business combination occurs in that period. The guidance should be applied prospectively; however, an entity that elects to early adopt in an interim period should apply the amendments to all business combinations that occurred during the fiscal year that includes that interim period. There has not been a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as a result of its adoption of the guidance on July 1, 2023.
NOTE 3 - SEGMENT REPORTING INFORMATION
The accounting guidance on Segment Reporting establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information of those segments to be presented in financial statements. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or “CODM”) in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance.

NOTE 7 - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The carrying values of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed at least annually for possible impairment. The Company may first assess qualitative factors in order to determine if goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired. If through the qualitative assessment it is determined that it is more likely than not that goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are not impaired, no further testing is required. If it is determined more likely than not that goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are impaired, or if the Company elects not to first assess qualitative factors, the Company’s impairment testing continues with the estimation of the fair value of the reporting unit using a combination of a market approach and an income (discounted cash flow) approach, at the reporting unit level. The estimation of the fair value of reporting unit 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 the fair value of reporting units are based on the best information available as of the date of the assessment. The use of different assumptions would increase or decrease estimated discounted future operating cash flows and could increase or decrease an impairment charge. Company management uses its judgment in assessing whether assets may have become impaired between annual impairment tests. Indicators such as adverse business conditions, economic factors and technological change or competitive activities may signal that an asset has become impaired.
The Company identified its reporting units in conjunction with its annual goodwill impairment testing. The Company has a total of reporting units that contain goodwill. reporting unit is within the Lighting Segment and reporting units are within the Display Solutions Segment. The tradename intangible assets have an indefinite life and are also tested separately on an annual basis. The Company relies upon a number of factors, judgments and estimates when conducting its impairment testing including, but not limited to, the Company’s stock price, operating results, forecasts, anticipated future cash flows, and marketplace data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and judgments in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment.

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. Because it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome or costs of these matters, the Company does not disclose a range of potential losses. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.
The Company may occasionally issue a standby letter of credit in favor of third parties. As of March 31, 2024, there were such standby letters of credit issued.
NOTE 13 - LEASES
The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities along with a small office space, several forklifts, several small tooling items, and various items of office equipment. The Company also has one sublease. All but two of the Company’s leases are operating leases. Leases have a remaining term of to years some of which have an option to renew. The Company does not assume renewals in determining the lease term unless the renewals are deemed reasonably certain. The lease agreements do not contain any material residual guarantees or material variable lease payments.
The Company has periodically entered into short-term operating leases with an initial term of twelve months or less. The Company elected not to record these leases on the balance sheet. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, the rent expense for these leases is immaterial.
The Company has certain leases that contain lease and non-lease components and has elected to utilize the practical expedient to account for these components together as a single lease component.
Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company used its incremental borrowing rate when determining the present value of lease payments.

NOTE 14 – INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective income tax rate is based on expected income, statutory rates, and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates the annual income tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly income tax provision or benefit in accordance with the anticipated annual rate. The Company refines the estimates of the year's taxable income as new information becomes available, including actual year-to-date financial results. This continual estimation process often results in a change to the expected effective income tax rate for the year. When this occurs, the Company adjusts the income tax provision during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects the expected income tax rate. Significant judgment is required in determining the effective tax rate and in evaluating tax positions.

Net sales of $108.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, decreased $9.3 million or 8% as compared to net sales of $117.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in net sales was attributed to a $1.8 million decrease in net sales of the Lighting Segment, while the remainder of the decrease in net sales was attributable to the Display Solutions Segment. In our Display Solutions segment, recent program awards generated strong growth in the refueling/c-store and QSR verticals, partially offsetting delayed activity in the grocery vertical. Our diverse end-market exposure and solid execution was key during the third quarter, as certain verticals demonstrated robust or stable demand strength, while the grocery vertical remains unfavorably impacted by the proposed merger of two industry participants, and longer than expected regulatory review.
Net sales of $340.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, decreased $32.7 million or 9% as compared to net sales of $373.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. Net sales in the Lighting Segment decreased ($3.8 million or 2%) from the prior year. Net sales in the Display Solutions Segment decreased ($29.0 million or 17%) from the prior year. The challenges previously addressed above in the grocery market have been the primary cause of the decline in total sales year-over-year.
Operating income of $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, remained stable from the same period in fiscal 2023. Adjusted operating income, a Non-GAAP measure, was $8.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, and was also unchanged from the period in fiscal 2023. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures to U.S. GAAP measures. Despite an 8% decrease in sales, operating income remained consistent from prior year which reflects the Company’s focus in higher-value, solutions-based sales mix, continued sales discipline, and moderating input costs.
Operating income of $26.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, declined slightly from $26.8 million operating income for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. Adjusted operating income, a Non-GAAP financial measure, was $30.2 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2024, and remained equal to the same period in fiscal 2023. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures to U.S. GAAP measures. Similar to the third quarter results, the Company was able to maintain the same level of operating income despite a 9% decline in sales.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We believe it is appropriate to evaluate our performance after making adjustments to the as-reported U.S. GAAP operating income, net income, and earnings per share. Adjusted operating income, net income, and earnings per share, which exclude the impact of long-term performance based compensation expense, severance and restructuring costs, and consulting expense related to commercial growth initiatives, are Non-GAAP financial measures. Also included below are Non-GAAP financial measures including Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA), Free Cash Flow, and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that these adjusted supplemental measures are useful in assessing the operating performance of our business. These supplemental measures are used by our management, including our chief operating decision maker, to evaluate business results. Although the impacts of some of these items have been recognized in prior periods and could recur in future periods, we exclude these items because they provide greater comparability and enhanced visibility into our results of operations. These non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, the non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations, in that they do not reflect all amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Therefore, these measures should be used only to evaluate our results in conjunction with corresponding GAAP measures. Below is a reconciliation of these Non-GAAP measures to operating income, net income, and earnings per share for the periods indicated along with the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA.

Gross profit of $9.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, decreased $2.3 million or 19% from the same period of fiscal 2023. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the three months ended March 31, 2024, was 22.3% compared to 23.5% in the same period of fiscal 2023.

Operating expenses of $5.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, decreased $0.8 million from $6.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2023. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily driven by efforts to manage costs in line with the decline in net sales.

The gross profit (loss) relates to the change in the intercompany profit in inventory elimination.
Operating expenses of $3.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, decreased $0.6 million or 15% for operating expenses of $4.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2023. The decrease was primarily the result of cost containment initiatives across several of the Company’s cost categories.
Consolidated Results
The Company reported $0.1 million and $0.9 million of net interest expense in the three months ended March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023, respectively. The decrease in interest expense was the result of the Company’s ability to paydown its debt from cash generated by operations. The Company also recorded a nominal amount of other income which is related to net foreign exchange currency transaction net gains and (losses) through the Company’s Mexican and Canadian subsidiaries.
The $2.1 million of income tax expense in the three months ended March 31, 2024, represents a consolidated effective tax rate of 27.9%. The income tax rate for the $2.3 million of income tax expense in the three months ended March 31, 2023, represents a consolidated effective tax rate of 32.6%. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily driven by a decrease in pre-tax profits in the higher taxing jurisdictions outside of the United States where the Company conducts business.
The Company reported net income of $5.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to net income of $4.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023. Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to adjusted net income of $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (Refer to the Non-GAAP tables above). The increase in Non-GAAP adjusted net income is primarily the net results result of a decrease in net sales more than offset by an increase in the gross profit as a percentage of sales, a decrease in operating expenses primarily driven by efforts to manage costs in line with the decline in net sales, and a decrease in interest expense resulting from a reduction in debt. Diluted earnings per share of $0.18 was reported in the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $0.16 diluted earnings per share in the same period of fiscal 2023. The weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share in the three months ended March 31, 2024, were 30,122,000 shares compared to 29,611,000 shares in the same period last year.

The gross profit relates to the change in the intercompany profit in inventory elimination.
Operating expenses of $13.0 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2024, decreased $2.6 million from the same period of fiscal 2023. The decrease was primarily the result of cost containment initiatives across several of the Company’s cost categories.
Consolidated Results
The Company reported $1.2 million and $2.9 million of net interest expense in the nine months ended March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023, respectively. The decrease in interest expense was the result of the Company’s ability to paydown its debt from cash generated by operations. The Company also recorded a nominal amount of other income which is related to net foreign exchange currency transaction net gains through the Company’s Mexican and Canadian subsidiaries.
The $5.9 million of income tax expense in the nine months ended March 31, 2024, represents a consolidated effective tax rate of 23.4%. The $6.4 million income tax expense in the nine months ended March 31, 2023, represents a consolidated effective tax rate of 27.0%. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily driven by the favorable tax treatment of the Company’s long-term performance based compensation in fiscal 2024 with no comparable favorable tax treatment in fiscal 2023.
The Company reported net income of $19.3 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to net income of $17.3 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2023. Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $21.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to adjusted net income of $20.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 (Refer to the Non-GAAP tables above). The increase in Non-GAAP adjusted net income is primarily the net results result of a decrease in net sales more than offset by an increase in the gross profit as a percentage of sales, a decrease in operating expenses primarily driven by efforts to manage costs in line with the decline in net sales, and a decrease in interest expense resulting from a reduction in debt. Diluted earnings per share of $0.64 was reported in the nine months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $0.60 diluted earnings per share in the same period of fiscal 2023. The weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share in the nine months ended March 31, 2024, were 30,005,000 shares compared to 29,055,000 shares in the same period last year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company considers its level of cash on hand, borrowing capacity, current ratio and working capital levels to be its most important measures of short-term liquidity. For long-term liquidity indicators, the Company believes its ratio of long-term debt to equity and our historical levels of net cash flows from operating activities to be the most important measures.
At March 31, 2024, the Company had working capital of $77.2 million compared to $73.3 million at June 30, 2023. Non-cash working capital for the period ending March 31, 2024, was $70.0 million which represents a drop of $1.4 million from $71.4 million non-cash working capital as of June 30, 2023. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.2 to 1.0 at March 31, 2024, and 2.0 at June 30, 2023. The decrease in non-cash working capital from June 30, 2023, to March 31, 2024, is primarily driven by a $9.0 million decrease in net accounts receivable and a $3.4 million decrease in net inventory partially offset by $10.0 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Net accounts receivable was $68.7 million and $77.8 million at March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2023, respectively. DSO was 58 days at March 31, 2023, slightly higher than 57 days at June 30, 2023.
Net inventories of $60.3 million at March 31, 2024, decreased $3.4 million from $63.7 million at June 30, 2023. The decrease of $3.4 million is the net result of a decrease in net inventory of $4.2 million in the Lighting Segment partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in net inventory in the Display Solutions Segment.
Cash generated from operations and borrowing capacity under the Company’s line of credit is its primary source of liquidity. In September 2021, the Company amended its existing $100 million credit facility, to a $25 million term loan and $75 million remaining as a secured revolving line of credit. Both facilities expire in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. As of March 31, 2024, the entire $75 million of the revolving credit line was available. The Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants. The $100 million credit facility plus cash flows from operating activities are adequate for operational and capital expenditure needs for the remainder of fiscal 2024.
The Company generated $32.3 million of cash from operating activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a similar generation of cash of $32.5 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The Company continues to effectively manage its working capital while generating increasing cash flow from earnings in both fiscal years, resulting in strong cash flow from operations.
The Company used $4.6 million and $1.8 million of cash related to investing activities to support the Company’s various capital initiatives, in the nine months ended March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023, respectively. The Company has increased its investment in equipment and tooling year-over-year to support sales growth and new products.
The Company used cash of $22.4 million and $32.0 million related to financing activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023, respectively. The use of cash in both fiscal years was primarily the result of cash generated from improved earnings and effective working capital management, which in turn was used to pay down the Company’s line of credit. The Company also received $1.3 million and $3.1 million of cash in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, respectively, related to the exercise of stock options. This influx of cash also contributed to the pay down of the Company’s line of credit. On or about April 18, 2024, the Company borrowed $44.0 million, net of available cash, under the credit facility for the purposes of financing the acquisition of EMI.
The Company has on its balance sheet financial instruments consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, revolving lines of credit, and long-term debt. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value because of their short-term maturity and/or variable, market-driven interest rates.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk and have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Cash Dividends
In April 2024, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable May 14, 2024, to shareholders of record as of May 6, 2024. The indicated annual cash dividend rate for fiscal 2024 is $0.20 per share. The Board of Directors has adopted a policy regarding dividends which indicates that dividends will be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion based upon its evaluation of earnings, cash flow requirements, financial condition, debt levels, stock repurchases, future business developments and opportunities, and other factors deemed relevant.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We conducted, under the supervision of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are fairly presented in all material respects in accordance with GAAP for interim financial statements, and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have certified that, based on their knowledge, the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for each of the periods presented in this report.
Changes in Internal Control
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the second quarter ended March 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
