The amortization expense associated with the existing intangible assets subject to amortization is expected to be $325, $167, $154, $151, $90, $49, $48, and $28, in fiscal 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. The weighted average number of years of amortization expense remaining is 5.18.
Note E – Warranties
The Company estimates the cost to perform under its warranty obligation and recognizes this estimated cost at the time of the related product sale. The Company reports this expense as an element of cost of products sold in its statement of operations. Each quarter, the Company assesses actual warranty costs incurred, on a product-by-product basis, as compared to its estimated obligation. The estimates with respect to products under extended warranty are based generally on knowledge of the manufacturers’ experience and are extrapolated to reflect the extended warranty period, and are refined each quarter as better information with respect to warranty experience becomes known.
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 currently available evidence.
Changes in the warranty reserve for the nine months ended February 26, 2005 were as follows:
| Warranty Reserve | ||||
Balance at May 29, 2004 | $ | 802 | |||
Accruals for products sold | 1,018 | ||||
Utilization | (455 | ) | |||
Balance at February 26, 2005 | $ | 1,365 | |||
The increase in the warranty accrual represents warranties primarily related to products under a three year extended warranty offered by the Company’s Display Systems Group beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2003.
Note F – Income Taxes
Net domestic deferred tax assets, including the domestic NOL, are approximately $14.5 million at February 26, 2005. Due to changes in the level of certainty regarding realization, a valuation allowance of approximately $12.2 million was established in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 to offset certain domestic deferred tax assets and domestic net operating loss carryforwards.
At the end of fiscal 2004, all of the positive earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries were considered permanently reinvested pursuant to Accounting Principal Board Opinion (APB) No. 23, Accounting for Income Taxes-Special Areas. As such, U.S. taxes were not provided on these amounts. In the third quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company determined that approximately $12.4 million of its subsidiaries' earnings may be distributed in future years. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to both U.S. income tax and foreign withholding taxes. As such, the Company has established a deferred tax liability of approximately $4.8 million.
The effective income tax rates for the nine-month periods ended February 26, 2005 and February 28, 2004 were 38.0% and 30.7%, respectively, excluding the establishment of the domestic valuation allowance and deferred tax liabilities in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 34% primarily results from the Company's geographic distribution of taxable income and losses and certain non-tax deductible charges, and certain foreign tax exposures and assessments.
The Company's tax status is subject to the provisions of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act). The repatriation provision of the Act provides an incentive for U.S. companies to repatriate foreign earnings. The domestic manufacturing deduction provision creates a deduction for qualified domestic production activities. The Company is still evaluating the effects of the repatriation provision, and has not made a determination as to whether the Act has an effect on income taxes for the period.

The effect of potentially dilutive stock options is calculated using the treasury stock method. Certain stock options are excluded from the calculations because the average market price of the Company’s stock during the period did not exceed the exercise price of those options. For the nine-month period ended February 26, 2005, there were 609 such options. However, some or all of the above mentioned options may be potentially dilutive in the future.
Note H – Stock-Based Compensation
The Company applies the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations including FASB interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of APB Opinion 25, issued in March 2000, to account for its stock options. Under this method, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As allowed by SFAS No.123, the Company has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic value-based method of accounting described above, and has adopted only the disclosure requirements of SFAS No.123. The following table illustrates the pro-forma effect on net income if the fair value-based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards and option grants in each period.

Note J – Financing Activities
On July 8, 2004, the Company completed an offering of 3,000,000 shares of its common stock, which resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $27,826 after the offering cost of $1,310.
On February 14, 2005, the Company entered into separate exchange agreements pursuant to which a small number of holders of Richardson’s existing 7¼% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due December 15, 2006, or the 7¼% debentures, and 8¼% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures due June 15, 2006, or the 8¼% debentures, agreed to exchange approximately $22.2 million in aggregate principal amount of 7¼% debentures and approximately $22.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 8¼% debentures for approximately $44.7 million in aggregate principal amount of newly-issued 7¾% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes (the Notes) due 2011. Based on recent Schedule 13G filings, two of the holders, Loomis Sayles & Company and T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., each beneficially owns more than 5% of the Company's common stock. Loomis exchanged approximately $14.9 million aggregate principal amount of 7¼% debentures, and T. Rowe Price e xchanged approximately $4.1 million aggregate principal amount of 7¼% debentures.
On February 15, 2005, the Company issued the Notes pursuant to an indenture with J.P. Morgan Trust Company dated February 14, 2005. The Notes bear interest at the rate of 7¾% per anum. Interest is due on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The Notes mature on December 15, 2011. The Notes are convertible at the option of the holder, at any time on or prior to maturity, into shares of the Company's common stock at a price equal to $18.00 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. On or after December 19, 2006, the Company may elect to automatically convert the Notes into shares of common stock if the trading price of the common stock exceeds 125% of the conversion price of the Notes for at least twenty trading days during any thirty trading day period.
The indenture provides that on or after December 19, 2006, the Company has the option of redeeming the Notes, in whole or in part, for cash, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. However, from December 19, 2006 until December 19, 2007, the Notes will be redeemable only if the trading price of the Company's common stock exceeds 125% of the conversion price of the Notes for at least twenty trading days during any thirty trading day period.
Holders may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their Notes for cash upon a change-of-control event, as described in the indenture, at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding the repurchase date. The Company may, at its option, pay the change of control purchase price in cash, shares of its common stock (valued at 97.5% of the market price), or a combination thereof.
The Notes are unsecured and subordinated to the Company's existing and future senior debt and senior to the Company's existing 7¼% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due December 15, 2006 and 8¼% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due June 15, 2006.
The Notes were issued through a private offering to qualified institutional buyers under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. In connection with the exchange, on February 15, 2005, the Company also entered into a resale registration rights agreement with the existing holders who participated in the exchange offer. Pursuant to the resale registration rights agreement, the Company has agreed to file a registration statement for the resale of the Notes and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes on or before May 16, 2005 and to use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as promptly as is practicable, but in no event later than August 15, 2005. The Company has also agreed to keep the shelf registration statement effective until two years after the latest date on which it issues Notes in connection with the exchange, subject to certain terms and conditions.
Note K – Correction of Error
In connection with our independent registered public accounting firm's review of the Company's Form 10-Q for the third quarter of fiscal 2005, an error was identified that occurred in the application of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation, on intercompany indebtedness with its subsidiaries, which affected previously reported foreign currency translation. The consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2002 and 2003, the selected quarterly financial data for fiscal 2003 and 2004, and the first two quarters of fiscal 2005 have been restated to correct this error. The restatement increased diluted earnings per share to $0.10 for the third quarter of fiscal 2004 versus the $0.07 previously reported and decreased diluted earnings per share to $0.24 for the nine month period of fiscal 2004 versus the $0.25 previously reported. The Company filed Form 10-K/A for fiscal 2004 on May 16, 2005 to reflect these changes.
A reconciliation of reported net income to restated net income, including the impact of the currency translation adjustment for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2004, is provided in the following table:

In connection with our independent auditor's review of the Company's Form 10-Q for the second quarter of fiscal 2005, an error was discovered with respect to the accounting treatment of certain foreign exchange gains and losses incurred during fiscal 2001 and 2002. These foreign exchange items related to the acquisition in 2001 of AVIV Electronics by one of the Company's subsidiaries, and the reporting of subsequent intercompany transactions between the subsidiary and parent. The terms of the related acquisition agreement obligated the Company's subsidiary to settle an acquisition-related obligation in U.S. dollars, which is not the subsidiary's functional currency. Related foreign exchange losses incurred by the subsidiary during the period from the inception of the obligation through the date of the parent's assumption of the obligation were accounted for in error as an element of accumulated other comprehensive income, rather than as an element of net income. The correction of this error amounts to $580 on a cumulative, net of tax basis, which was recorded as an adjustment to both retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive loss as of May 29, 2004.
Management and the Company's audit committee, in consultation with the Company's former auditor, have determined that the impact of the correction of the error in either fiscal 2001 or 2002 is not material, and in consultation with its current auditor, have determined that the correction of the error through an adjustment to both retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive (loss) as of May 29, 2004 is not material. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) presented herein are not affected by the correction of this error.
Note L – Recently Issued Pronouncements
Note M – Subsequent Events
On April 19, 2005, the Company received a Nasdaq Staff Determination Letter indicating that the Company is subject to potential delisting from the Nasdaq National Market as it is not in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) as a result of the Company's inability to timely file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended February 26, 2005. The Company has requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel to appeal the Nasdaq staff's notification and request continued listing, which stays the delisting until the appeal has been heard and the panel has rendered its decision. The Company's hearing is scheduled for May 26, 2005. Until a decision is made on the appeal the Company's trading symbol will be "RELLE".

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (in thousands, except per share amounts and except where indicated)
Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this quarter report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements relating to future events, which involve certain risks and uncertainties. Further, there can be no assurance that the trends reflected in historical information will continue in the future.
Investors should consider carefully the following risk factors, in addition to the other information included and incorporated by reference in this quarter report on Form 10-Q. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report are statements that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The words "expect," "estimate," "anticipate," "predict," "believe" and similar expressions and variations thereof are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements appear in a number of places in this report and include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company, its directors or its officers with respect to, among other things: (i) trends affecting the Company’s financial condition or results of operations; (ii) the Company’s financing plans; (iii) the Company’s business and growth st rategies, including potential acquisitions; and (iv) other plans and objectives for future operations. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties and that actual results may differ materially from those predicted in the forward-looking statements or which may be anticipated from historical results or trends.
In addition to the information contained in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, factors that could affect future performance include, among others, the following:
- | The Company has had significant operating and net losses in the past and may have future losses. |
- | The Company maintains a significant investment in inventory and has incurred significant charges for inventory obsolescence and overstock, and may incur similar charges in the future. |
- | If the Company does not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, it could be unable to provide timely and reliable financial information. |
- | Because the Company derives a significant portion of its revenue by distributing products designed and manufactured by third parties, it may be unable to anticipate changes in the marketplace and, as a result, could lose market share. |
- | The Company has exposure to economic downturns and operates in cyclical markets. |
- | The Company has significant debt, which could limit its financial resources and ability to compete and may make it more vulnerable to adverse economic events. |
- | The Company’s ability to service its debt and meet its other obligations depends on a number of factors beyond its control. |
- | The Company’s success depends on its executive officers and other key personnel. |
- | The Company’s credit agreement and the indentures for its outstanding debentures impose restrictions with respect to various business matters. |
- | Potential changes in accounting standards regarding stock option plans could limit the desirability of granting stock options, which could harm the Company’s ability to attract and retain employees, and could also negatively impact its results of operations. |
- | The Company faces intense competition in the markets it serves and, if it does not compete effectively, it could significantly harm its operating results. |
- | The Company may not be able to continue to make the acquisitions necessary for it to realize its growth strategy or integrate acquisitions successfully. |
- | If the Company does not continue to reduce its costs, it may not be able to compete effectively in its markets. |
- | The Company’s Industrial Power Group is dependent on a limited number of vendors to supply it with essential products. |
- | Economic, political and other risks associated with international sales and operations could adversely affect the Company’s business. |
- | The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk. |
- | Because the Company generally does not have long-term contracts with its vendors, it may experience shortages of products that could harm its business and customer relationships. |
- | The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, or any other disease epidemic, may adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. |
For more discussion of such risks, see "Risk Factors" in the Company’s Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 16, 2005.
These risks are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report may include additional factors, which could adversely affect the Company’s business and financial performance. Moreover, the Company operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on the Company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.
Investors should also be aware that while the Company does, from time to time, communicate with securities analysts, it is against the Company’s policy to disclose to them any material non-public information or other confidential commercial information. Accordingly, stockholders should not assume that the Company agrees 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 the responsibility of the Company.

In December 2004, Richardson Electronics, Ltd. acquired the assets of Evergreen Trading Company, a distributor of passive components in China. Evergreen Trading Company will be integrated into IPG. Evergreen Trading Company is similar to Richardson in that they also emphasize engineered solutions by offering technical services and design assistance. This acquisition is intended to provide IPG infrastructure and a selling organization to more aggressively expand its business throughout China.
In December 2004, a joint venture was formed with Light Speed Labs, LP to support SSD and DSG. The joint venture was organized as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) under the name VConex, LLC and is expected to develop distinctive and proprietary security and display solutions which will be exclusively marketed through Richardson Electronics, Ltd. This venture is expected to provide Richardson with engineering resources and expertise to develop network video technology applications for large national accounts such as retail and hospitality chains for security and display solutions needs. Sales increased for all four strategic business units and all four geographic areas for the three- and nine-month periods over the prior year. The third quarter of fiscal 2005 was the eleventh consecutive quarter of year-over-year sales growth for the Company. Net loss for the quarter was $18,665 or $1.08 per share on a diluted basis as compared to net income of $1,484 or $0.10 per share on a dil uted basis a year ago. Net loss for the quarter included incremental tax provisions, restructuring and other charges of $19.9 million after-tax ($4.2 million pre-tax). Incremental tax provisions of $17.2 million were established in the quarter primarily to reduce the Company's deferred tax assets (see Note F). The Company implemented restructuring actions at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2005, which included changes in management and a reduction in workforce, to accelerate the alignment of operations with the Company's engineered solutions strategy and improve operating efficiency. Severance charges of $2.2 million and inventory write-down charges of $0.9 million were recorded in the quarter. The Company also recorded incremental costs of $0.8 million associated with previously capitalized freight, which will now be reported as a period expense, and an incremental bad debt provision of $0.3 million. The severance and bad debt charges were recorded to selling, general and administrative expense. Th e Company experiences moderate seasonality in its business and typically realizes higher sequential sales in its second and fourth quarters, reflecting increased transaction volume after the summer and holiday months in its first and third quarter periods. Based on the period from fiscal 1993 to 2004, sales in the fourth quarter were, on average, approximately 9-10% higher sequentially. Management expects fourth quarter sales in fiscal 2005 will increase sequentially over the third quarter of fiscal 2005 in line with the historical average.
Results of Operations
Sales and Gross Margins
Consolidated sales for the third quarter ended February 26, 2005 increased $14.4 million or 11.3% from the prior year to $141.7 million. Sales increased for all four strategic business units and all four geographic areas over the prior year, as discussed below and shown in Note I of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For the nine-month period, sales were up 15.2% to $431.4 million. Consolidated gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased 90 basis points for the quarter and 30 basis points for the nine-months from the corresponding periods of the prior year primarily due to the write-downs of inventory and previously capitalized freight from the restructuring actions taken in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. Sales, percentage changes from the prior year, gross margins and gross margin percent of sales by SBU are summarized in the following table. Freight, Logistics business, and miscellaneous costs are included unde r the caption "Other."

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by 25.8% and 21.7% to $34.0 million and $95.3 million for the quarter and nine months, respectively, from the comparable periods in fiscal 2004. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased 2.8% and 1.2% to 24.0% and 22.1% of sales for the quarter and nine months, respectively, compared to the prior year. The Company implemented restructuring actions at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2005, which included changes in management and a reduction in workforce, to accelerate the alignment of operations with the Company's engineered solutions strategy and improve operating efficiency. Compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2004, SG&A expenses increased $7.0 million, which included $2.0 million of severance costs, $2.2 million of payroll and fringes, $0.4 million of depreciation and expense associated with the PeopleSoft implementation, $0.3 million of audit, tax and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance fees, $0.3 million of bad debt expense and $0.2 million of engineering services related to the VConex joint venture.
Other Expenses
Interest expense decreased 13.3% and 13.1% to $2.2 million and $6.7 million for the quarter and nine months, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year as a result of the equity offering and elimination of a fixed rate swap offset by interest on incremental borrowings to fund working capital requirements. Cash payments for interest were $8.3 million for the nine-month period ended February 26, 2005. Other, net expenses included a foreign exchange gain of $2.6 million and investment income of $286 for the first nine months in fiscal 2005 compared to a foreign exchange loss of $252 and investment income of $127 for the first nine months in fiscal 2004.
An error was identified in the application of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation, on intercompany indebtedness with its subsidiaries, which affected previously reported currency translation. The financial statements for fiscal 2002 and 2003, selected quarterly financial data for fiscal 2003 and 2004, and the first two quarters of fiscal 2005 have been restated to correct this error. The restatement increased other (income) by $484 for the third quarter of fiscal 2004 and increased other expense by $143 for the nine month period of fiscal 2004. The Company filed Form 10-K/A for fiscal 2004 on May 16, 2005 to reflect these changes (see Note K).
Income Tax Provision
As of February 26, 2005, domestic net operating loss carryforwards (NOL) amount to approximately $19.5 million. These NOLs expire in 2024. Foreign net operating loss carryforwards total approximately $15.3 million. In the second quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of approximately $.6 million primarily relating to certain foreign subsidiaries recording deferred tax assets on net operating losses.
Net domestic deferred tax assets, including the domestic NOL, are approximately $14.5 million at February 26, 2005. Due to changes in the level of certainty regarding realization, a valuation allowance of approximately $12.2 million was established in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 to offset certain domestic deferred tax assets and domestic net operating loss carryforwards.
At the end of fiscal 2004, all of the positive earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries were considered permanently reinvested pursuant to Accounting Principal Board Opinion (APB) No. 23, Accounting for Income Taxes-Special Areas. As such, U.S. taxes were not provided on these amounts. In the third quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company determined that approximately $12.4 million of its subsidiaries' earnings may be distributed in future years. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to both U.S. income tax and foreign withholding taxes. As such, the Company has established a deferred tax liability of approximately $4.8 million.
The effective income tax rates for the nine-month periods ended February 26, 2005 and February 28, 2004 were 38.0% and 30.7%, respectively, excluding the establishment of the domestic valuation allowance and deferred tax liabilities in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 34% primarily results from the Company's geographic distribution of taxable income and losses and certain non-tax deductible charges, and certain foreign tax exposures and assessments.
Future effective tax rates could be adversely affected by lower than anticipated earnings in countries where the Company has lower statutory rates, changes in the valuation of certain deferred tax assets or liabilities, or changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof. In addition, the Company is subject to the examination of its income tax returns by U.S. and foreign tax authorities and regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes.
Net Income
Net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 was $18.7 million or $1.08 per share on a diluted basis as compared to net income of $1.5 million or $0.10 per share on a diluted basis a year ago. Net income for the quarter was down from the prior year primarily due to incremental tax provisions, restructuring and other charges. Net loss for the first nine months of fiscal 2005 was $13.8 million or $0.82 per share on a diluted basis compared to net income of $3.5 million or $0.24 per share on a diluted basis in the first nine months of the prior year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash was $22.7 million at February 26, 2005, an increase of $5.8 million from the beginning of the fiscal year. During the first nine months of fiscal 2005, the Company used $7.9 million of cash in operating activities. Working capital increased $14.4 million for the nine months, primarily as the result of an increase of $11.6 million in inventory.
Inventory days were approximately 90 in the third quarter of fiscal 2005, compared with 85 days in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 and 77 days at the end of fiscal 2004. Initial stocking packages for exclusive supplier agreements caused inventory to increase during the first half of fiscal 2005. Days sales outstanding were approximately 61 in the third quarter of 2005 compared with 58 days in the second quarter of 2005 and 52 days at the end of fiscal 2004. In the third quarter of 2005 as compared to the second quarter of 2005, Europe and Asia receivables combined increased from 54% to 57% of total Company receivables with days sales outstanding of approximately 78 days while North America's receivables decreased from 41% to 38% of total Company receivables with days sales outstanding of approximately 46 days.
In October 2004, the Company renewed its multi-currency revolving credit agreement with the current lending group in the amount of $109.0 million. The new agreement matures in October 2009 and is principally secured by the Company's trade receivables and inventory. This agreement includes lower interest rate spreads, relaxed leverage and coverage ratios, and increased borrowing base advance rates than the prior agreement while also adding an accordion feature that can increase the credit line by up to an additional $25 million. The facility bears interest at applicable LIBOR rates plus a margin, varying with certain financial performance criteria. At February 26, 2005, the applicable margin was 150 basis points and $67.1 million was outstanding. Of the $41.9 million which was unborrowed under the total facility, $28.7 million was available due to the borrowing base limitations.
The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of February 26, 2005. Subsequently, the Company's late filing of its third quarter Form 10-Q and restatement of prior fiscal periods resulted in defaults of the Company's credit agreement with respect to timely and correct financial statements and Form 10-Q reports. The Company has received a waiver from its lending group for the defaults and, with the filing of this Form 10-Q and amended Form 10-K and Form 10-Q reports for the affected prior periods, has satisfied the conditions of the waiver.
In February 2005, the Company issued $44.7 million of 7¾% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2011 in exchange for $22.2 million of its 7¼% convertible debentures due December 2006 and $22.5 million of its 8¼% convertible senior subordinated debentures due June 2006. The new notes are convertible at the holder's option into shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $18.00 per share. Richardson Electronics, Ltd. may redeem the new notes at par on or after December 19, 2006, except that from December 19, 2006 until December 19, 2007, the new notes are redeemable only if the trading price of the Company's common stock exceeds certain levels. Subsequent to the exchange, the Company has outstanding $4.8 million of 7¼% convertible debentures due December 2006, $17.5 million of 8¼% convertible senior subordinated debentures due June 2006 and $44.7 million of 7¾% convertible senior subordinated notes due December 2011.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $19.7 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2005. During the first quarter, the Company had an equity offering for 3 million shares of stock that contributed $27.8 million in proceeds that was used to reduce debt by $13.3 million and fund working capital requirements. For investing activities, the Company spent $6.5 million on capital projects during the first nine months of fiscal 2005, primarily related to PeopleSoft development costs and ongoing investments in information technology infrastructure. A $545 earn out payment was made in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 associated with the Pixelink acquisition as the business unit achieved certain operating performance criteria. The Company also made a net cash payment of $336 for the Evergreen Trading Company acqusition in the third quarter of fiscal 2005.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123 (Revised 2004), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. This Statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. Statement 123(R) is effective at the beginning of the next fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 123R on the financial statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For a description of the Company’s market risks, see “Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Risk Management and Market Sensitive Financial Instruments” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended May 29, 2004.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only a reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. As of May 16, 2005, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have c oncluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing a reasonable assurance of achieving their objective.
During the fiscal third quarter the Company's independent auditors reported to management and to the audit committee on certain matters involving internal controls that they considered to be material weaknesses. As communicated by the Company's independent auditors, these internal controls related to (i) inappropriate application of certain provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation, affecting previously issued consolidated financial statements and (ii) the origination and maintenance of contemporaneous documentation of the factual support or key judgments made in connection with the execution of several legal documents that represented important accounting events. The misapplication affected reported currency translation in previously issued consolidated financial statements for fiscal years ending 2002 and 2003, the four quarters of fiscal 2004 and the first two quarters of fiscal 2005.
Part II |
Also during the fiscal third quarter, the Company's independent auditors reported to management and to the audit committee on certain matters involving internal controls regarding income taxes that they considered to be material weaknesses, including (i) lack of appropriate quarterly analysis of the valuation of deferred tax assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, (ii) lack of consideration of Accounting Principle Board Opinion (APB) No. 23, Undistributed Earnings of Subsidiaries, and (iii) lack of appropriate quarterly analysis of tax liabilities.
The Company has begun remediating these weaknesses, including implementing the following measures:
- | The Company has engaged a third party provider to provide global compliance and reporting services, in order to improve the quarterly analysis of tax liabilities. |
- | The Company is reviewing and will update its policy regarding inter company loan agreements, including the initiation, approval and maintenance of inter company loans. |
- | The Company is reviewing and will update its policies and procedures surrounding the accounting for inter company transactions to ensure compliance with SFAS 52. |
- | The Company has reviewed all inter company loans currently in existence to ensure loan documentation exists and supports the accounting treatment of the loans. |
- | The Company performs a monthly variance analysis of foreign currency activity as part of its standard operating procedures. |
During fiscal 2005, the Company has made significant progress on remediating the material weaknesses previously described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended May 29, 2004, including implementation of the following measures:
- | The Company developed formal procedures for financial statement variance analysis and balance sheet reconciliations. The monthly closing schedule was formally communicated to all subsidiaries. The procedures were put in place during the second quarter of fiscal 2005 and are currently being tested as part of the Sarbanes-Oxley assessment process this quarter. |
- | The Company improved documentation of management review and reconciliation performance through policies, education and re-enforcement, a balance sheet listing of account owners and approvers, and the implementation of Financial Services Manager, Accounting Manager, Corporate Controller and CFO checklists. These measures were put in place during the second and third quarters of fiscal 2005 and will be tested as part of the Sarbanes-Oxley assessment process this fiscal year. |
- | Improvements to the reconciliation process during the migration from local accounting systems to PeopleSoft financials have been made and are expected to continue throughout fiscal 2005 in conjunction with the Company's Sarbanes-Oxley compliance plan. |
- | The Information Systems group is in the process of installing several software packages which the Company believes will remediate the internal control issues regarding change management and system monitoring. These remediation efforts are expected to be completed before the end of fiscal 2005 in conjunction with the Company's Sarbanes-Oxley compliance plan. Except as noted above, there have been no other changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting. |
