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 Item 10 of Regulation S-K. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

Table of Contents
In the opinion of management, all adjustments 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 operations and cash flows for the three months ended August 30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending May 30, 2009.
The unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended September 1, 2007, have been restated to reflect the reclassification of a portion of the deferred financing fees write-off from interest expense to other, net expense. The reclassification was for an immaterial amount.
The unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended September 1, 2007, have been restated to reflect the reclassification of the gain on sale of investments from operating activities to investing activities. The gain on sale of investments was an immaterial amount for the three months ended September 1, 2007.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we moved our Cathode Ray Tube (“CRT”) product line from our DSG segment to our EDG segment. As a result of implementing a new business plan for DSG during the third quarter of fiscal 2008, we felt that the CRT product line more closely aligned with the existing EDG business model. Prior period segment information has been restated to reflect this change.
Our fiscal quarter ends on the Saturday nearest the end of the quarter ending month. The first three months of fiscal 2009 and 2008 each contain 13 weeks.
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 31, 2008.
3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS / ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
Discontinued Operations Held for Sale:
On May 31, 2007, we completed the sale of the Security Systems Division/Burtek Systems (“SSD/Burtek”) to Honeywell International Incorporated (“Honeywell”). We present SSD/Burtek as a discontinued operation in accordance with the criteria of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS No. 144”), and prior period results and disclosures have been restated to reflect this reporting.
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 in the amount of $6.4 million. During the third and fourth quarters, we reviewed and responded to Honeywell’s notice, and we are in discussions with Honeywell to seek resolution of the open items. We believe this claim to be without merit and intend to vigorously defend our position with respect to this claim. Should we ultimately pay Honeywell all, or a significant portion, of the requested amount, it could have a material adverse impact on results of our discontinued operations and cash flows.

Net sales, gross profit, income tax provision, and income from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 1, 2007, is presented in the following table (in thousands):

The net sales, gross profit, income tax provision, and income from discontinued operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 represent the operations of our Colombia location which were included in the SSD/Burtek sale agreement with Honeywell, but were not transferred as part of the May 31, 2007, closing. During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we mutually agreed with Honeywell that Honeywell would not purchase the SSD/Burtek Colombia business, and that we would wind down the SSD/Burtek Colombia business in exchange for a payment from Honeywell equal to a portion of the value of the SSD/Burtek business in Colombia on May 31, 2007, including reimbursement of related employee severance expenses. We ceased operations of the SSD/Burtek business in Colombia during the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Results of the operation of the SSD/Burtek business in Colombia are included in discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS No. 144.
Assets Held for Sale:
As of August 30, 2008, we maintained a building in Mexico City, Mexico as an asset held for sale. We believe we will be able to sell the building within fiscal 2009; however, we cannot give any assurance as to the actual timing or successful completion of the sale.
4. 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. The fair value of our equity securities, which are included in other non-current assets, was $0.4 million as of August 30, 2008, and May 31, 2008. Proceeds from the sale of the securities were $0.1 million and $0.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. Gross realized gains and losses on those sales were an immaterial amount during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008. An immaterial amount of net unrealized holding losses during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 have been included in accumulated comprehensive income for fiscal 2009. Net unrealized holding losses were $0.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and have been included in accumulated comprehensive income for fiscal 2008.

During the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, our goodwill balances are reviewed for impairment through the application of a fair-value based test, using the end of the third quarter as the measurement date. The results of our goodwill impairment test as of March 1, 2008, indicated that the value of goodwill attributable to our DSG segment of $11.5 million was fully impaired. As a result, we recorded a pre-tax impairment of $11.5 million, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. In addition, we recorded a $2.3 million tax benefit related to the impairment charge. Our estimate of fair value for each of our reporting units was based on projected future operating results and cash flows and other specific assumptions.

6. WARRANTIES
We offer warranties for 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.
We estimate the cost to perform under the warranty obligation and recognize this estimated cost at the time of the related product sale. We record expense related to our warranty obligations as cost of sales in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Each quarter, we assess actual warranty costs incurred on a product-by-product basis and compare the warranty costs to our estimated warranty obligation. With respect to new products, estimates are based generally on knowledge of the products, the extended warranty period, and warranty experience.
Warranty reserves are established for costs that are expected to be incurred after the sale and delivery of products under warranty. Warranty reserves are included in accrued liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The warranty reserves are determined based on known product failures, historical experience, and other available evidence.
Changes in the warranty reserve during the first three months of fiscal 2009 were as follows (in thousands):
Warranty Reserve | ||||
Balance at May 31, 2008 | $ | 377 | ||
Accruals for products sold | 145 | |||
Utilization | (97 | ) | ||
Adjustment | (75 | ) | ||
Balance at August 30, 2008 | $ | 350 | ||
As a result of lower sales volume of products under warranty and lower than anticipated failure rates, reserve adjustments of $0.1 million were recorded during the first three months of fiscal 2009.

Long-term debt for the periods ended August 30, 2008, and May 31, 2008, was as follows (in thousands):

As of August 30, 2008, we maintained $55.7 million in long-term debt in the form of two series of convertible notes. We entered into a revolving credit agreement on July 27, 2007, which included a Euro sub-facility of $15.0 million and a Singapore sub-facility of $5.0 million. Pursuant to an amendment to the revolving credit agreement entered into on February 29, 2008, the Euro sub-facility and Singapore sub-facility individual limits were increased to $20.0 million each; however, the total amount of the combined Euro sub-facility and Singapore sub-facility is limited to $25.0 million. The U.S. facility is reduced if amounts drawn on the Euro

Table of Contents
sub-facility and Singapore sub-facility exceed $20.0 million, maintaining a total capacity of $40.0 million on the revolving credit agreement. This revolving credit agreement expires in July 2010 and bears interest at applicable LIBOR, SIBOR, or prime rates plus a margin varying with certain quarterly borrowings under the revolving credit agreement. This revolving credit agreement is secured by a lien on our U.S. assets and also contains a financial covenant requiring us to maintain a leverage ratio of less than 2.0 to 1.0. Pursuant to an amendment to the revolving credit agreement entered into on November 29, 2007, the leverage ratio was increased to 3.0 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarters ended December 1, 2007, and March 1, 2008. The commitment fee related to the revolving credit agreement is 0.25% per annum payable quarterly on the average daily unused portion of the aggregate commitment. As of August 30, 2008, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit agreement. Outstanding letters of credit were approximately $0.1 million and we also had $1.1 million reserved for usage on our commercial credit card program, leaving an unused line of $38.8 million as of August 30, 2008. Based on our loan covenants, actual available credit as of August 30, 2008, was $40.0 million.
Pursuant to an amendment to the revolving credit agreement entered into on July 29, 2008, the definition of the leverage ratio has been modified to exclude the goodwill impairment charge in the calculation of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2008. We were in compliance with our loan covenants as of May 31, 2008, without this amendment to our revolving credit agreement.
Interest expense decreased to $1.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared with $2.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The components of interest expense from continuing operations are shown in the following table (in thousands):
First Quarter | ||||||
FY 2009 | FY 2008 | |||||
7 3/4% convertible senior subordinated notes interest expense | $ | 866 | $ | 866 | ||
8% convertible senior subordinated notes interest expense | 220 | 220 | ||||
Multi-currency revolving credit agreement interest expense | — | 556 | ||||
Revolving credit agreement interest expense | 9 | 229 | ||||
Deferred financing costs amortization | 59 | 100 | ||||
Write-off of deferred financing costs | — | 643 | ||||
Other | 22 | 14 | ||||
Total interest expense | $ | 1,176 | $ | 2,628 | ||
Interest expense incurred on the multi-currency revolving credit agreement (“credit agreement”) during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was due primarily to borrowings to support working capital investments. During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we wrote off $0.6 million of deferred financing costs due to the extinguishment of the credit agreement on July 27, 2007.
8. INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was a provision of 19.1% as compared with a provision of 407.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The difference between the effective tax rates as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% primarily results from our geographical distribution of taxable income or losses and valuation allowances related to net operating losses. For the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we realized a tax benefit related to the partial release of the valuation allowances related to net operating losses of $0.9 million. The tax provision includes $0.6 million related to prior years income tax of one of our foreign jurisdictions.
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 year 2004. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to fiscal year 2002. Our primary foreign tax jurisdictions are the United Kingdom, Germany, Singapore, and the Netherlands. We have tax years open in

Table of Contents
Singapore beginning in fiscal year 2002; in Germany and the Netherlands beginning in fiscal year 2003; in the U.S. beginning in fiscal year 2004; and in the United Kingdom beginning in fiscal year 2006.
We record penalties and interest relating to uncertain tax positions in the income tax expense line item within the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. There were no significant changes to our penalties and interest relating to uncertain tax positions in the three months ended August 30, 2008.
It is reasonably possible that there will be a change in the unrecognized tax benefits in the range of $0 to approximately $1.3 million due to the expiration of various statutes of limitations within the next 12 months.
9. 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 ten 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 Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 03-6,Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128 (“EITF No. 03-6”), 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 EITF No. 03-6. 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 first quarter of fiscal 2009, the assumed conversion and the effect of the interest savings of our 8% convertible senior subordinated notes (“8% notes”) were included because their inclusion was dilutive. For the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the assumed conversion and the effect of the interest savings of our 7 3/4% convertible senior subordinated notes (“7 3/4% notes”) were excluded because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the assumed conversion and the effect of the interest savings of our 7 3/4% notes and 8% notes were excluded because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Common stock options that were anti-dilutive and not included in dilutive earnings per common share for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008 were 1,638,219 and 1,550,881, respectively.
10. SHARE BASED COMPENSATION
During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004),Share-Based Payment, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation cost at fair value for all share-based payments, including stock options. We estimate fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires assumptions such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life, and dividends. Compensation cost is recognized using a graded-vesting schedule over the applicable vesting period or the date on which retirement eligibility is achieved, if shorter (non-substantive vesting period approach). Share-based compensation totaled approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively.
11. SEGMENT REPORTING
Based on our interpretation of SFAS No. 131,Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (“SFAS No. 131”), we have identified three reportable segments: the RF, Wireless & Power Division (RFPD), the Electron Device Group (EDG), and the Display Systems Group (DSG).
RFPD serves the global RF and wireless communications market, including infrastructure, and wireless networks, and the power conversion market.
EDG provides engineered solutions and distributes electronic components to customers in diverse markets including the steel, automotive, textile, plastics, semiconductor manufacturing, and broadcast industries.
DSG provides global integrated display products, systems and digital signage solutions serving financial, corporate enterprise, healthcare, and industrial markets.
Each segment is directed by a Vice President and General Manager who reports to the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) or the Executive Vice President of Business Development. The CEO evaluates performance and allocates resources, in part, based on the direct operating contribution of each segment. Direct operating contribution is defined as gross margin less direct selling, general, and administrative expenses.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we moved our CRT product line from our DSG segment to our EDG segment. As a result of implementing a new business plan for DSG during the third quarter of fiscal 2008, we felt that the CRT product line more closely aligned with the existing EDG business model. Prior period segment information has been restated to reflect this change.

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 periodic reviews of outstanding accounts.
12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 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. We have adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 for financial instruments as of June 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not materially impact our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow.
SFAS No. 157 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 August 30, 2008, we held investments that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Our investments (available-for-sale) 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 SFAS No. 157 as of August 30, 2008, were as follows (in thousands):
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |||||||
Equity securities | $ | 369 | $ | — | $ | — |

Table of Contents
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 allows an entity to irrevocably elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement of certain financial instruments and other items that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. When the fair value option is elected and a company chooses to record eligible items at fair value, the company must report unrealized gains and losses on those items in results of operations at each subsequent reporting date. Additionally, the transition provisions of SFAS No. 159 permit a one-time election for existing positions at the adoption date, with a cumulative-effect adjustment included in opening retained earnings. All future changes in fair value would be reported in results of operations. SFAS No. 159 became effective for us June 1, 2008, and we did not elect the fair value option for any eligible items as allowed by SFAS No. 159.
13. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141-R,Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141-R”) which revises SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141”). Under SFAS No. 141, organizations utilize the announcement date as the measurement date for the purchase price of the acquired entity. SFAS No. 141-R requires the measurement at the date the acquirer obtains control of the acquiree, generally referred to as the acquisition date. SFAS No. 141-R will have a significant impact on the accounting of transaction costs, restructuring costs as well as the initial recognition of contingent assets and liabilities assumed during a business combination. Under SFAS No. 141-R, adjustments to the acquired entity’s deferred tax assets and uncertain tax position balances occurring outside the measurement period are recorded as a component of the income tax expense, rather than goodwill. SFAS No. 141-R will become effective for our fiscal year 2010. As the provisions of SFAS No. 141-R are applied prospectively, the impact for us cannot be determined unless a transaction occurs.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 expands the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. This statement specifically requires entities to provide enhanced disclosures addressing the following: how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 will become effective for our third quarter of fiscal year 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 161, but do not believe that our adoption of the standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. APB 14-1,Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlements) (“FSP No. APB 14-1”), which will change the accounting treatment for convertible securities which the issuer may settle fully or partially in cash. Under FSP No. APB 14-1, cash settled convertible securities will be separated into their debt and equity components. The value assigned to the debt component will be the estimated fair value, as of the issuance date, of a similar debt instrument without the conversion feature, and the difference between the proceeds for the convertible debt and the amount reflected as a debt liability will be recorded as additional paid-in-capital. As a result, the debt will be recorded at a discount reflecting its below market coupon interest rate. The debt will subsequently be accreted to its par value over its expected life, with the rate of interest that reflects the market rate at issuance being reflected on the income statement. This change in methodology will affect the calculations of net income and earnings per share for many issuers of cash settled convertible securities. FSP No. APB 14-1 will become effective for our fiscal year 2010. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of FSP No. APB 14-1 on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1,Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). The Staff Position provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and must be included in the earnings per share computation. FSP EITF 03-6-1 will become effective for our fiscal year 2010. All prior-period earnings per share data presented must be adjusted retrospectively. We do not believe the adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents
In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-5,Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock (“EITF 07-5”), which supersedes EITF Issue No. 01-6,The Meaning of ‘Indexed to a Company’s Own Stock’. SFAS No. 133 specifies that a contract issued or held by a company that is both indexed to its own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity is not considered a derivative instrument for purposes of applying SFAS No. 133. EITF 07-5 provides further guidance in requiring that both an instrument’s contingency exercise provisions and its settlement provisions be evaluated for determining whether the instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed solely to an entity’s own stock. EITF 07-5 will become effective for any outstanding or new arrangements for our fiscal year 2010. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of EITF 07-5 on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 08-4,Transition Guidance for Conforming Changes to Issue No. 98-5 (“EITF 08-4”). The objective of EITF 08-4 is to provide transition guidance for conforming changes made to EITF Issue No. 98-5,Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratiosthat result from EITF Issue No. 00-27,Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments,and SFAS Issue No. 150,Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.EITF 08-4 will become effective for our fiscal year 2010. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of EITF 08-4 on our consolidated financial statements.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW
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 and a global distributor of electronic components to the radio frequency (“RF”), wireless and power conversion, electron device, and display systems markets. Utilizing our core engineering and manufacturing capabilities, we are committed to a strategy of providing specialized technical expertise and value-added products, or “engineered solutions,” in response to our customers’ needs. These solutions include products which we manufacture or modify and products which are manufactured to our specifications by independent manufacturers under our own private labels. Additionally, 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 data display monitors. 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.
Our sales and marketing, product management, and purchasing functions are organized as follows:
RF, Wireless & Power Division(“RFPD”) serves the global RF and wireless communications market, including infrastructure, wireless networks, and the power conversion market.
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.
Display Systems Group (“DSG”) provides global integrated display products, systems and digital signage solutions serving 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. |
During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we moved our Cathode Ray Tube (“CRT”) product line from our DSG segment to our EDG segment. As a result of implementing a new business plan for DSG during the third quarter of fiscal 2008, we felt that the CRT product line more closely aligned with the existing EDG business model. Prior period segment information has been restated to reflect this change.

RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Overview – Three Months Ended August 30, 2008
• | Net sales for RFPD increased 14.9%, or $12.6 million, during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2008 primarily due to a major communications infrastructure project within our Asian operations. Net sales for EDG and DSG decreased 4.0% and 4.3%, respectively, during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to the first quarter last year. |
• | Consolidated gross margin percentage declined to 23.5% during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to 25.2% during the first quarter last year primarily due to the lower gross margin related to the communications infrastructure project within our Asian operations. Gross margin for DSG increased to 25.3% during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to 21.3% during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 reflecting an increased focus on profitable sales. Gross margin for EDG decreased to 30.5% during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to 32.2% during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 due to shifts to lower margin products. |
• | Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased to $28.2 million, or 20.3% of net sales, during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $30.0 million, or 23.1% of net sales, during the first quarter last year. |
• | Operating income during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was $4.5 million, up 67%, compared to operating income of $2.7 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. |
Net Sales and Gross Profit Analysis
During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, consolidated net sales increased 7.3% due primarily to an increase in wireless and power conversion products partially offset by a decrease in sales of display systems and electron device products.
Net sales by segment and percent change during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008 were as follows (in thousands):

Consolidated gross profit increased slightly during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Consolidated gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased to 23.5% during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to 25.2% during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 primarily due to the lower gross margin related to the communications infrastructure project within our Asian operations.
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. Corporate gross profit includes certain freight costs and other miscellaneous charges.

RF, Wireless & Power Division
RFPD net sales were $96.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2009, a $12.6 million increase, or 14.9%, from $84.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The net sales increase was due primarily to an increase in sales of infrastructure, power conversion, network access, and passive/interconnect products. Infrastructure net sales increased 20.2% to $26.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 from $21.8 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The net sales growth for infrastructure products was primarily in Asia/Pacific which was due primarily to the deployment of the next infrastructure build-out of the Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (“TD-SCDMA”) project in China. Phase two of TD-SCDMA project was deployed during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 which is expected to be completed by the end of fiscal 2009, while phase one of the project occurred during fiscal 2007. Power conversion net sales increased 18.9% to $15.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 from $12.7 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The growth in net sales of power conversion products during the first quarter fiscal 2009 was primarily in Asia/Pacific. Net sales of power conversion products in Asia/Pacific benefited from RFPD’s penetration of the welding and steel manufacturing market with induction heating and power supply applications. Alternative energy application growth in Asia/Pacific also contributed to the increase in power conversion net sales. Network access net sales increased 12.4% to $36.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 from $32.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Net sales for network access products increased in all four geographic regions during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The increase in network access products was due primarily to the resolution of production issues with key suppliers during fiscal 2009. Passive/interconnect net sales increased 9.4% to $15.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 from $13.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Net sales for passive/interconnect products increased primarily in Asia/Pacific, North America, and Europe. The net sales growth of passive/interconnect products in Asia/Pacific and Europe was due primarily to the expansion of a consumer wireless franchise. Gross margin as a percent of net sales declined to 21.6% during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 from 24.2% during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The decline in gross margin as a percent of net sales was due primarily to the lower margins generated from the TD-SCDMA project in China.
Electron Device Group
EDG net sales were $25.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2009, a $1.0 million decrease, or 4.0%, from $26.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The net sales decline was due primarily to a decline in semiconductor fabrication equipment products and tube sales, partially offset by an increase in passive components. Semiconductor fabrication equipment net sales declined 18.5% to $4.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 from $5.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The semiconductor fabrication equipment industry has experienced an overall decline during the past couple of years. Net sales of tubes decreased 2.3% to $16.8 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 from $17.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Net sales of tubes declined primarily in North America, which were partially offset by increases in Europe and Asia/Pacific. The decrease in net sales of tubes in North America was due primarily to the conversion from analog to digital television in the U.S which takes place in February 2009. Net sales of passive components increased 40.0% to $2.8 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 from $2.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The increase in net sales of passive components was due primarily to increased

sales of vacuum capacitors in Asia/Pacific, Europe, and Latin America. Gross margin as a percent of sales decreased to 30.5% during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to 32.2% during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The decline in gross margin for EDG was due primarily to a shift in product mix toward lower-margin products.
Display Systems Group
DSG net sales were $17.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2009, a $0.8 million decrease, or 4.3%, from $17.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The net sales decline was due primarily to a decline in medical imaging products, partially offset by an increase in digital signage products. During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, DSG implemented a new business plan, part of which included exiting unprofitable market segments and the distribution of low margin branded products. As a result of this new business plan, short-term results of top line sales have been negatively impacted. We believe DSG’s net sales will return to fiscal 2008 sales levels by the end of fiscal 2009. Due to a focus on profitable sales growth, gross margin improved to 25.3% during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 from 21.3% during the first quarter of fiscal 2008, which we believe will be a sustainable long-term improvement.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 to $28.2 million from $30.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The decrease in SG&A expense during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was due primarily to a decline in consulting, employee-related, and facility expenses. SG&A as a percent of net sales declined to 20.3% of net sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared with 23.1% of net sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2008.
Other (Income) Expense
Other (income) expense was $0.1 million of income during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to an expense of $2.7 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The change to income from expense was due primarily to favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates and a decrease in interest expense. Other (income) expense included a foreign exchange gain of $1.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to a foreign exchange loss of $0.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Interest expense decreased to $1.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to $2.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. See Note 7 “Debt” of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional discussion on interest expense.
Income Tax Provision
The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was a provision of 19.1% as compared with a provision of 407.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The difference between the effective tax rates as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% primarily results from our geographical distribution of taxable income or losses and valuation allowances related to net operating losses. For the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we realized a tax benefit related to the partial release of the valuation allowances related to net operating losses of $0.9 million. The tax provision includes $0.6 million related to prior years income tax of one of our foreign jurisdictions.
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 year 2004. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to fiscal year 2002. Our primary foreign tax jurisdictions are the United Kingdom, Germany, Singapore, and the Netherlands. We have tax years open in Singapore beginning in fiscal year 2002; in Germany and the Netherlands beginning in fiscal year 2003; in the U.S. beginning in fiscal year 2004; and in the United Kingdom beginning in fiscal year 2006.

We record penalties and interest relating to uncertain tax positions in the income tax expense line item within the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. There were no significant changes to our penalties and interest relating to uncertain tax positions in the three months ended August 30, 2008.
It is reasonably possible that there will be a change in the unrecognized tax benefits in the range of $0 to approximately $1.3 million due to the expiration of various statutes of limitations within the next 12 months.
Net Income (Loss) and Per Share Data
Net income during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was $3.7 million, or $0.20 per diluted common share and $0.18 per Class B diluted common share as compared with a net loss of $0.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2008, or $0.02 per diluted common share and $0.02 per Class B diluted common share.
LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL POSITION, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have financed our growth and cash needs largely through income from operations, borrowings under the revolving credit facilities, issuance of convertible senior subordinated notes, and sale of assets. Liquidity is reduced by working capital requirements, debt service, capital expenditures, dividends, and business acquisitions. Liquidity is increased by proceeds from borrowings, disposition of businesses and assets, and improved working capital management.
Cash and cash equivalents were $37.1 million as of August 30, 2008, as compared to $40.0 million as of May 31, 2008.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was $1.0 million, due primarily to higher inventory balances and lower accrued liability balances, partially offset by higher accounts payable balances and lower accounts receivable balances. The increase in inventory balances of $7.6 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange of $1.4 million, during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was due primarily to purchases of inventory necessary to support higher-than-anticipated sales volume in future quarters. The decline in accrued liability balances of $1.7 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange of $0.3 million, during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was due primarily to the timing of accrued interest payments on long-term debt. The increase in accounts payable balances of $3.8 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange of $0.7 million, during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was due primarily to negotiating favorable payment terms with many of our vendors. The decline in account receivable balances of $1.2 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency of $2.6 million, during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was due primarily to improved cash collections related to past due balances.
Cash provided by operating activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was $5.9 million due primarily to lower accounts receivables balances and higher accounts payable balances, partially offset by higher inventory balances and lower accrued liability balances. The decline in the accounts receivable balance of $8.9 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange of $0.6 million, during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was due primarily a decline in sales volume. The increase in the accounts payable balance of $8.7 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange of $0.1 million, during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was due primarily to the timing of payments related to inventory purchases. The increase in inventory balances of $6.6 million, excluding the impact of foreign exchange of $1.2 million, was due primarily a decline in sales volume during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The decline in accrued liabilities of $5.8 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange of $0.2 million, during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was due primarily to the timing of accrued interest payments on long-term debt, the timing of payments on accrued payroll related items, and payment of accrued transaction expenses related to the SSD/Burtek sale.

As of August 30, 2008, we maintained $55.7 million in long-term debt in the form of two series of convertible notes. We entered into a revolving credit agreement on July 27, 2007, which included a Euro sub-facility of $15.0 million and a Singapore sub-facility of $5.0 million. Pursuant to an amendment to the revolving credit agreement entered into on February 29, 2008, the Euro sub-facility and Singapore sub-facility individual limits were increased to $20.0 million each; however, the total amount of the combined Euro sub-facility and Singapore sub-facility is limited to $25.0 million. The U.S. facility is reduced if amounts drawn on the Euro sub-facility and Singapore sub-facility exceed $20.0 million, maintaining a total capacity of $40.0 million on the revolving credit agreement. This revolving credit agreement expires in July 2010 and bears interest at applicable LIBOR, SIBOR, or prime rates plus a margin varying with certain quarterly borrowings under the revolving credit agreement. This revolving credit agreement is secured by a lien on our U.S. assets and also contains a financial covenant requiring us to maintain a leverage ratio of less than 2.0 to 1.0. Pursuant to an amendment to the revolving credit agreement entered into on November 29, 2007, the leverage ratio was increased to 3.0 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarters ended December 1, 2007, and March 1, 2008. The commitment fee related to the revolving credit agreement is 0.25% per annum payable quarterly on the average daily unused portion of the aggregate commitment. As of August 30, 2008, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit agreement. Outstanding letters of credit were approximately $0.1 million and we also had $1.1 million reserved for usage on our commercial credit card program, leaving an unused line of $38.8 million as of August 30, 2008. Based on our loan covenants, actual available credit as of August 30, 2008, was $40.0 million.
Pursuant to an amendment to the revolving credit agreement entered into on July 29, 2008, the definition of the leverage ratio has been modified to exclude the goodwill impairment charge in the calculation of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2008. We were in compliance with our loan covenants as of May 31, 2008, without this amendment to our revolving credit agreement.
We believe that the existing sources of liquidity, including current cash, as well as cash provided by operating activities, supplemented as necessary with funds available under credit arrangements, will provide sufficient resources to meet known capital requirements and working capital needs for the fiscal year ending May 30, 2009.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Risk Management and Market Sensitive Financial Instruments
Certain operations, assets, and liabilities of ours are denominated in foreign currencies subjecting us to foreign currency exchange risk. In addition, some of our debt financing varies with market rates exposing us to the market risk from changes in interest rates. In order to provide the user of these financial statements guidance regarding the magnitude of these risks, the Securities and Exchange Commission requires us to provide certain quantitative disclosures based upon hypothetical assumptions. Specifically, these disclosures require the calculation of the effect of a 10% increase in market interest rates and an unfavorable 10% change in the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies on the reported net earnings and financial position.
Interest Expense Exposure
Our new credit agreement’s interest rates vary based on market interest rates. Had interest rates increased 10%, interest expense would have increased by an immaterial amount for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008.
Foreign Currency Exposure
Even though we take into account current foreign currency exchange rates at the time an order is taken, our foreign denominated financial statements 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 2009 or 2008.
Had the U.S. dollar changed unfavorably 10% against various foreign currencies, net sales would have been lower by an estimated $5.4 million and $5.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. Total assets would have declined by an estimated $18.5 million as of August 30, 2008, and an estimated $29.4 million as of the fiscal year ended May 31, 2008. The total liabilities would have decreased by an estimated $1.5 million as of August 30, 2008, and an estimated $1.6 million as of the fiscal year ended May 31, 2008.
The interpretation and analysis of these disclosures should not be considered in isolation since such variances in interest rates and exchange rates would likely influence other economic factors. Such factors, which are not readily quantifiable, would likely also affect our operations.
For an additional description of our market risk, see “Item 7A – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk – Risk Management and Market Sensitive Financial Instruments” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2008.
