Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
Three- and Nine-Month PeriodsThree-Month Period Ended February 29,August 31, 2000
(Unaudited)
Note A -- Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
(Statements) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions
to Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods covered have
been re-
flectedreflected in the Statements. Certain information and footnotes necessary
for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted
in accordance with the aforementioned instructions. It is suggested that the
Statements be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended May 31, 1999.2000.
The accompanying interim consolidated condensed financial statementsStatements are presented for the thirdfirst quarter andof fiscal 2001 (period
ended August 31, 2000) compared to first nine monthsquarter of fiscal 2000 (periods(period ended
February 29, 2000) compared to thirdAugust 31, 1999). The Company accounts for its results of operations on a
52/53 week period ending on the Saturday nearest May 31 each year. Results
for the first quarter include 13 weeks in fiscal 2001 and first nine months of14 weeks in fiscal
1999 (periods ended February 28, 1999).2000.
Note B -- Income Taxes
The income tax provisions for the three- and nine-monththree-month periods ended February 29,August 31, 2000
and February 28,August 31, 1999 are based on the estimated annual effective tax raterates of
32% and 30%., respectively. The effective rate is less than the U.S. federal
statutory rate of 34% due to U.S. foreign sales corporation tax benefits and
utilization of previously unrecognized foreign net operating loss
carryforwards, partially offset by state income taxes.
Note C - IndustryCalculation of Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of Common and Market InformationClass B Common shares outstanding. Diluted
earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (adjusted for
interest savings, net of tax, on assumed bond conversions) by the actual
shares outstanding and share equivalents that would arise from the exercise
of stock options and the assumed conversion of convertible bonds. Out-of-the-
money (exercise price higher than market price) stock options are excluded
from the calculation because they are anti-dilutive. The marketingCompany's 8 1/4% and sales structure of the Company is organized into four
strategic business units (SBU's): Electron Device Group (EDG), Solid State and
Components (SSC), Display Products Group (DPG) and Security Systems Division
(SSD).
EDG's principal products, electron tubes, are used to control, switch,
oscillate or amplify electrical power. This technology had been used for more
than 80 years throughout the industrialized world. EDG serves a multitude of
industries including automotive, avionics, communications, marine, plastics,
rubber, steel, textile, medical imaging and wafer fabrication for
semiconductors. EDG's products are largely for replacement markets.
SSC's products include radio frequency and microwave components and power
semiconductors. These products are used in wireless communication and
industrial applications, serving many of the same customers and industries as
EDG. SSC's products are in most cases used in original equipment applications.

markets.
SBUs are managed by Vice Presidents and General Managers who report to the
President and Chief Operating Officer. The President evaluates performance
and allocates resources, in part, based on the direct operating contribution
of each SBU. Direct operating contribution is defined as gross margin less
product management and direct selling expenses. In North America and Europe,
the sales force is organized by SBU and, accordingly, these costs are
included in direct expenses. In Latin America, Asia / Pacific and the rest of
the world, some of the regional sales force is shared and, accordingly, is
not included in direct expenses. IntersegmentInter-segment sales are not significant.
Accounts receivable, inventory, goodwill and certain notes receivable are
identified by SBU. Cash, net property and other assets are not identifiable
by SBU. Accordingly, depreciation, amortization expense and financing costs
are not identifiable by SBU. Operating results for the three- and nine-monththree-month periods
ended February 29,August 31, 2000 and February 28,August 31, 1999 and identifiable assets as of the

needs and capital structure.
Euro Currency Conversion
On January 1, 1999, eleven member statescountries of the European Union began
conversion to a common currency, the euro.Euro. From January 1, 1999 until January
1, 2002, companies operating in Europe must be able to process business
transactions either in legacy currencies or in Euros. After January 1, 2002,
all transactions will be processed only in Euros.
These changes could have signifi-
cant impacts on transaction processing costs, pricing policies and foreign cur-
rency exchange risk management.
The Company has verified thatmodified its transaction processing systems can ac-
commodateto accommodate
the euro currencyEuro and dual currency processing requirements without significant
additional costs. While the exact impact on pricing is indeterminable, the
Company believes that since most of its pricing is based on U.S. dollar
costs, the effect of conversion to the euro willEuro has not bebeen significant.
The Company expects to adopt the euro as the functional currency for each
of its subsidiaries within the European Union. While it is possible that this
change may result in reduced volatility of reported results due to foreign
currency translation, this benefit cannot be quantified at this time.
