PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Our Company

We are a leading provider of comprehensive corporate visual image solutions through the combination of extensive screen and digital graphics capabilities, a wide variety of high quality indoor and outdoor lighting products, and related professional services. We also provide graphics and lighting products and professional services on a stand-alone basis. Our company is the leading provider of corporate visual image solutions to the petroleum/convenience store industry. We use this leadership position to penetrate national retailers and multi-site retailers, including quick service and casual restaurants, video rental and eyewear chains, retail chain stores and automobile dealerships located primarily in the United States.

Our focus on product development and innovation creates products that are essential components of our customers’ corporate visual image strategy. We develop and manufacture lighting and graphics products and distribute them through an extensive multi-channel distribution network that allows us to effectively service our target markets. Representative customers include British Petroleum/Amoco/Arco, Chevron Texaco, Conoco Phillips, ExxonMobil, Shell, Burger King, McDonalds, Taco Bell, Wendy’s, Best Buy, CVS Pharmacies, Inc., Target Stores, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, Nissan, Saturn, and Toyota. We service our customers at the corporate, franchise and local levels.

We believe that national retailers and niche market companies are increasingly seeking single-source suppliers with the project management skills and service expertise necessary to execute a comprehensive visual image program. The integration of our graphics, lighting and professional services capabilities allows our customers to outsource to us the development of an entire visual image program from the planning and design stage through installation. Our approach is to bundle standard, high-production lighting products, custom graphics applications and professional services to create complete customer-focused visual image solutions. We also offer products and services on a stand-alone basis to service our existing image solutions customers, to establish a presence in a new market or to create a relationship with a new customer. We believe that our ability to combine graphics and lighting products and professional services into a comprehensive visual image solution differentiates us from our competitors who offer only stand-alone products for lighting or graphics and who lack professional services offerings. During the past several years, we have continued to enhance our ability to provide comprehensive corporate visual image solutions by adding additional graphics capabilities, lighting products and professional services through acquisitions and internal development.

Our business is organized in two segments: the Lighting Segment, which represented 63% of our fiscal 2005 net sales, and the Graphics Segment, which represented 37% of our fiscal 2005 net sales. Our most significant market, which includes sales of both the Lighting Segment and the Graphics Segment, is the petroleum / convenience store market with approximately 25%, 28%, and 29% of total net sales concentrated in this market in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page S-23 of this Form 10-K for additional information on business segments. Net sales by segment are as follows (in thousands):


	2005		2004		2003
Lighting Segment	$	177,021	$	159,748	$	133,076
Graphics Segment		105,419		81,657		77,057

Total Net Sales	$	282,440	$	241,405	$	213,133

Lighting Segment

Our lighting segment manufactures and markets outdoor, indoor, and landscape lighting for the commercial, industrial and multi-site retail markets, including the petroleum / convenience store market. Our products are designed and manufactured to provide maximum value and meet the high-quality, competitively-priced product requirements of our niche markets. We generally avoid specialty or custom-designed, low-volume products for single order opportunities. We do, however, design proprietary products used by our national account customers in large volume, and occasionally also provide custom products for large, specified projects. Our concentration is on our high-volume, standard product lines that meet our customers’ needs. By focusing our product offerings, we achieve significant manufacturing and cost efficiencies.

Our lighting fixtures, poles and brackets are produced in a variety of designs, styles and finishes. Important functional variations include types of mounting, such as pole, bracket and surface, and the nature of the light requirement, such as down-lighting, wall-wash lighting, canopy lighting, flood-lighting, area lighting and security lighting. Our engineering staff performs photometric analyses, wind load safety studies for all light fixtures and also designs our fixtures and lighting systems. Our lighting products utilize a wide variety of different lamps, including high-intensity discharge metal-halide lamps. All of our products are designed for energy efficiency, performance, reliability, ease of installation and service, as well as attractive appearance.

The major products and services offered within our lighting segment include: exterior area lighting, interior lighting, canopy lighting, landscape lighting, L.E.D. lighting (light emitting diodes), light poles, lighting analysis and photometric layouts.

The Lighting Segment includes the operations of LSI Lighting Systems, LSI Petroleum Lighting, LSI Automotive, Courtsider Sports Lighting, LSI Metal Fabrication, Greenlee Lighting, LSI Marcole, LSI MidWest Lighting and LSI Lightron.

The $17.3 million increase in Lighting Segment net sales is primarily the result of an aggregate increase of $16.1 million of lighting sales to our niche markets of petroleum / convenience stores, automotive dealerships, quick service restaurants, and retail national accounts (including significantly increased sales to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.), as well as a $2.6 million increase in commissioned net sales to the commercial and industrial lighting market. Net sales to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. were approximately $30.2 million or 11% of the Company’s total net sales in fiscal 2005.

The increase in Lighting Segment net sales in fiscal 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003 is attributed primarily to increased sales to our national account (including to the largest national retailer in the U.S.) and niche market business, as well as to increased sales to the commercial and industrial markets (due in part to the improving economy and in part to increased volume coming in from our improved independent commercial sales representatives).

Graphics Segment

The Graphics Segment manufactures and sells exterior and interior visual image elements related to graphics, and menu board systems. These products are used in visual image programs in several markets, including the petroleum/convenience store market and multi-site retail operations. Our extensive lighting and graphics expertise, product offering, visual image solution implementation capabilities and other professional services represent significant competitive advantages. We work with corporations and design firms to establish and implement cost effective corporate visual image programs. Increasingly, we become the primary supplier of exterior and interior graphics for our customers. We also offer installation or installation management (utilizing pre-qualified independent subcontractors throughout the United States) services for those customers who desire that we become involved in the installation of either menu board systems, or interior or exterior graphics products.

-2-

Our business can be significantly impacted by participation in a customer’s “image conversion program,” especially if it were to involve a “roll out” of that new image to a significant number of that customer’s and its franchisees’ retail sites. The impact to our business can be very positive with growth in net sales and profitability when we are engaged in an image conversion program. This can be followed in subsequent periods by lesser amounts of business or negative comparisons following completion of an image conversion program, unless we are successful in replacing that completed business with participation in a new image conversion program of similar size with one or more customers. An image conversion program can potentially involve any or all of the following improvements, changes or refurbishments at a customer’s retail site: interior or exterior lighting, (see discussion above about our lighting segment) interior or exterior store signage and graphics, interior or exterior menu board systems, exterior pre-sell menu boards, and installation of these products in both the prototype and roll out phases of their program. We believe our retail customers are implementing image conversions on a more frequent basis than in the past, say approximately every five to seven years versus ten to fifteen years in the past, in order to maintain a safe, fresh look or new image on their site in order to continue to attract customers to their site, and maintain or grow their market share.

The major products and services offered within our Graphics Segment include the following: signage and canopy graphics, pump dispenser graphics, building fascia graphics, decals, interior signage and marketing graphics, aisle markets, wall mural graphics, fleet graphics, prototype program graphics, installation services for graphics products, exterior and interior menu board systems, site surveying and permitting, site specific engineering services, and installation management services.

The Graphics Segment includes the operations of Grady McCauley, LSI Retail Graphics, LSI Integrated Graphic Systems, LSI Images and LSI Adapt.

The $23.8 million increase in Graphics Segment net sales is primarily the result of the effect of increased graphics net sales to the petroleum / convenience store market ($0.4 million), and increased net sales to retail store customers (approximately $19.8 million, with over $14 million of this increase related to a national drug store retailer for its re-branding program that is now complete and approximately $7 million related to a now complete menu board enhancement program).

The increase in Graphics net sales in fiscal 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003 is primarily attributed to increased sales to a retail store customer and increased sales to the petroleum / convenience store market, partially offset by reduced menu board system sales (one quick service restaurant customer).

Our Competitive Strengths

Single Source Comprehensive Visual Image Solution Provider. We believe that we are the only company serving our target markets that combines significant graphics capabilities, lighting products and professional services to create comprehensive image solutions. We believe that our position as a single-source provider creates a competitive advantage over competitors who can only address either the lighting or the graphics component of a customer’s corporate visual image program. Using our broad visual image solutions capabilities, our customers can maintain complete control over the creation of their visual image programs while avoiding the added complexity of coordinating separate lighting and graphics suppliers and service providers among multiple suppliers. We can use high technology software to produce computer-generated virtual prototypes of a customer’s new or improved retail site image. We believe that these capabilities are unique to our target markets and they allow our customers to make educated, cost-effective decisions quickly.

Proven Ability to Penetrate Target Markets. We have grown our business by establishing a leadership position in the majority, as defined by our revenues, of our target markets, including petroleum/convenience stores, automobile dealerships and specialty retailers. Although our relationship with our customers may begin with the need for a single product or service, we leverage

-3-

our broad product and service offering to identify additional products and solutions. We combine existing graphics, lighting and image element offerings, develop products and add services to create comprehensive solutions for our customers.

Product Development Focus. We believe that our ability to successfully identify and develop new products has allowed us to expand our market opportunity and enhance our market position. Our product development initiatives are designed to increase the value of our product offering by addressing the needs of our customers and target markets through innovative retrofit enhancements to existing products or the development of new products. In addition, we believe our product development process creates value for our customers by producing products that offer energy efficiency, low maintenance requirements and long-term operating performance at a competitive price.

Strong Relationship with our Customers. We have used our innovative products and high-quality services to develop close, long-standing relationships with a large number of our customers. Many of our customers are recognized among the leaders in their respective markets; including customers such as BP, Chrysler and Burger King. Their use of our products and services raises the visibility of our capabilities and facilitates the acceptance of our products and services in their markets. Within each of these markets, our ability to be a single source provider of image solutions often creates repeat business opportunities through corporate reimaging programs. We have served some of our customers since our inception in 1976.

Well-capitalized Balance Sheet. As part of our long-term operating strategy, we maintain a conservative capital structure. With a strong equity base, we are able to preserve operating flexibility in times of industry expansion and contraction. In the current business environment, a strong balance sheet demonstrates financial viability to our existing and targeted customers. In addition, a strong balance sheet enables us to continue important R&D and capital spending.

Aggressive Use of Our Image Center Capabilities. Our image center capabilities in Cincinnati, North Canton and Houston provide us with a distinct competitive advantage to demonstrate the effectiveness of integrating graphics and lighting into a complete corporate visual image program. Our technologically advanced image centers, which demonstrate the depth and breadth of our product and service offerings, have become an effective component of our sales process.

Maintain our vertically integrated business model.We consider our company to be a vertically integrated manufacturer rather than a product assembler. We focus on developing unique customer-oriented products and solutions and outsource certain non-core processes and product components as necessary.

Sales, Marketing and Customers

Our lighting products are sold primarily throughout the United States, but also in Canada and Latin America (about 3% of total net sales are outside the United States) using a combination of regional sales managers, independent sales representatives and distributors. Although in some cases we sell directly to national firms, more frequently we are designated as a preferred vendor for product sales to customer-owned as well as franchised, licensed and dealer operations. Our graphics products and services are sold through our own sales force and select manufacturers’ representatives. Our marketing approach and means of distribution vary by product line and by type of market. For the Graphics Segment, our engineering staff provides recommendations and full technical support for site studies, photometric engineering, and environmental factors.

Sales are developed by contacts with national retail marketers, franchise and dealer operations. In addition, sales are also achieved through recommendations from local architects, engineers, petroleum and electrical distributors and contractors. Our sales are partially seasonal as installation of outdoor lighting and graphic systems in the northern states decreases during the winter months.

-4-

Our image center capabilities are an important part of our sales process. The image center, unique within the lighting and graphics industry, is a facility that can produce a computer-generated virtual prototype of a customer’s facility on a large screen through the combination of high technology software and audio/visual presentation. With these capabilities, our customers can instantly explore a wide variety of lighting and graphics alternatives to develop consistent day and nighttime images. Our image centers give our customers more options, greater control, and more effective time utilization in the development of lighting, graphics and visual image solutions, all with much less expense than traditional prototyping. In addition to being cost and time effective for our customers, we believe that our image center capabilities result in the best solution for our customers’ needs.

The image centers also contain comprehensive indoor and outdoor product display areas that allow our customers to see many of our products and services in one setting. This aids our customers in making quick and effective lighting and graphic design decisions through hands-on product demonstrations and side-by-side comparisons. More importantly, our image center capabilities allow us to expand our customer’s interest from just a single product into other products and solutions. We believe that our image center capabilities have further enhanced our position as a highly qualified outsourcing partner capable of guiding a customer through image alternatives utilizing our lighting and graphics products and services. We believe this capability distinguishes us from our competitors and will become increasingly beneficial in attracting additional customers. We currently have image centers in Cincinnati, Ohio, Houston, Texas and North Canton, Ohio.

Manufacturing and Operations

We design, engineer and manufacture substantially all of our lighting and graphics products through a vertically integrated business model. By emphasizing high-volume production of standard product lines, we achieve significant manufacturing efficiencies. When appropriate, we utilize alliances with vendors to outsource certain products and assemblies. We are not dependent on any one supplier for any of our component parts.

The principal raw materials and purchased components used in the manufacturing of our products are steel, aluminum, wire, sockets, lamps, certain fixture housings, acrylic and glass lenses, lighting ballasts, inks and various graphics substrates such as decal material and vinyls. We source these materials and components from a variety of suppliers. Although an interruption of these supplies and components could disrupt our operations, we believe generally that alternative sources of supply exist and could be readily arranged. We strive to reduce price volatility in our purchases of raw materials and components through quarterly or annual contracts with certain of our suppliers. Our lighting operations generally carry relatively small amounts of finished goods inventory, except for certain products that are stocked to meet quick delivery requirements. Most often lighting products are made to order and shipped shortly after they are manufactured. Our graphics operations manufacture custom graphics products for customers who frequently require us to stock certain amounts of finished goods in exchange for their commitment to that inventory. In some of these programs, customers also give us a cash advance for the inventory that we stock for them.

We believe we are a low-cost producer for our types of products, and as such, are in a position to promote our product lines with substantial marketing and sales activities.

Our manufacturing operations are subject to various federal, state and local regulatory requirements relating to environmental protection and occupational health and safety. We do not expect to incur material capital expenditures with regard to these matters and believe our facilities are in compliance with such regulations.

-5-

Competition

We experience strong competition in both segments of our business, and in all markets served by our product lines. We have many competitors, some of which have greater financial and other resources, however we do not compete with the same companies across our entire product and service offerings. We believe product quality and performance, price, customer service, prompt delivery, and reputation to be important competitive factors.

We have several product and process patents which have been obtained in the normal course of business. In general, we do not believe that patent protection is critical to our business, however we do believe that patent protection is important for a few select products.

Additional Information

Our sales are partially seasonal as installation of outdoor lighting and graphic systems in the northern states lessens during the harshest winter months. We had a backlog of orders, which we believe to be firm, of $21.6 million and $24.3 million at June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. All orders are believed to be shippable within twelve months.

We have approximately 1,430 full-time and 210 temporary employees as of June 30, 2005. We offer a comprehensive compensation and benefit program to most employees, including competitive wages, a discretionary bonus plan, a profit-sharing plan and retirement plan, a 401(k) savings plan, a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (for certain employees), an equity compensation plan, and medical and dental insurance.

We file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. You may read and copy any materials filed with the SEC at its public reference room at 100 F. Street, N.E., Room 1580, Washington, D.C. 20549. You may also obtain that information by calling the SEC at 1-202-551-8090. The SEC maintains an internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding us. The address of that site ishttp://www.sec.gov. Our internet address ishttp://www.lsi-industries.com. We make available free of charge through our internet web site our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as soon as reasonably practical after we electronically file them with the SEC.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Since October 2000, the Company has been involved in a civil action against ImagePoint, Inc. (formerly PlastiLine, Inc.) and Marketing Displays, Inc. (“MDI”) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky. The Company is seeking a judgment that certain patents owned by MDI and licensed to ImagePoint that are directed to adjustable menu boards are invalid and/or not infringed by menu boards manufactured and sold by the Company.

MDI and ImagePoint claim that LSI infringed upon and violated their patents related to menu board systems. LSI never intentionally or knowingly violated these patents, and when LSI was notified of a possible infringement immediately revised the design of its menu board system so as to not be in violation of the plaintiffs’ patents. LSI has extended an offer to settle this patent litigation, to which an unacceptable counter offer was received. The Company anticipates that a mediation will be held that may result in a negotiated settlement of this dispute. The Company is also defending one of its customers in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky in a similar patent infringement action brought by ImagePoint. The same issues regarding potential liability and settlement apply to both cases.

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

Net Sales by Business Segment


*(In thousands)*	2005		2004		2003
Lighting Segment	$	177,021	$	159,748	$	136,076
Graphics Segment		105,419		81,657		77,057

		$282,440	$	241,405	$	213,133

Results of Operations

2005 Compared to 2004

Net sales of $282,440,000 in fiscal 2005 increased 17% from fiscal 2004 net sales of $241,405,000. Lighting Segment net sales increased 11% to $177,021,000 and Graphics Segment net sales increased 29% to $105,419,000 as compared to the prior year. Sales to the petroleum / convenience store market represented 25% and 28% of fiscal 2005 and 2004 net sales, respectively. Net sales to this, the Company’s largest market, are reported in both the Lighting and Graphics Segments, depending upon the product or service sold, and were up 5% from fiscal 2004 to $70.1 million. The petroleum / convenience store market has been, and will continue to be, a very important niche market for the Company; however, if sales to other markets and customers increase more than net sales to this market, then the percentage of net sales to the petroleum / convenience store market would be expected to decline.

Image and brand programs, whether full conversions or enhancements, are important to the Company’s strategic direction. Image programs include situations where our customers refurbish their retail sites around the country by replacing some or all of the lighting, graphic elements, menu board systems and possibly other items they may source from other suppliers. These image programs often take several quarters to complete and involve both our customers’ corporate-owned sites as well as their franchisee-owned sites, the latter of which involve separate sales efforts by the Company with each franchisee. The Company may not always be able to replace net sales immediately when a large image conversion program has concluded. Brand programs typically occur as new products are offered or new departments are created within an existing retail store. Relative to net sales to a customer before and after an image or brand program, net sales during the program are typically significantly higher, depending upon how much of the lighting, graphics or menu board business is awarded to the Company. Sales related to a customer’s image or brand program are reported in either the Lighting Segment and/or the Graphics Segment, depending upon the product and/or service provided.

S-1

The Company’s Lighting Segment increased sales prices in the second half of fiscal year 2004, and again in the second and fourth quarters of fiscal 2005 on select products in some markets the Company serves. The Company experienced competitive pricing pressures in most lighting markets, thereby restricting price increases. In some markets the Company was able to increase sales prices to recover a portion of increased raw material costs, but generally with little or no increase in gross profit. The rise in steel and aluminum prices in mainly the first eight months of fiscal 2005 caused some reduction in the Lighting Segment’s gross profit margin as a percentage of net sales.

Gross profit of $72,296,000 in fiscal 2005 increased 21% from last year, and increased as a percentage of net sales to 25.6% in fiscal 2005 as compared to 24.7% last year. The increase in amount of gross profit is due primarily to the 17% increase in net sales, product mix and efficiencies, partially offset by higher inventory adjustments related to obsolete inventory, the rising raw material costs noted above, installation, freight and distribution expenses. While the Company instituted sales price increases on select products in the second half of fiscal 2004 and again in the second and fourth quarters of fiscal 2005, increased material costs, manufacturing wages, compensation and benefits increases ($0.6 million), competitive pricing pressures, unabsorbed manufacturing costs in the Company’s New York facility, and increased manufacturing expenses ($0.3 million of utilities, $0.3 million of factory supplies, $0.4 million of depreciation, and $0.4 million of repairs, maintenance and property taxes) partially offset the favorable influences on the Company’s gross profit margin.

Selling and administrative expenses in fiscal year 2005 increased $3.6 million and decreased as a percentage of net sales to 17.4% from 18.8% last year. Fiscal 2005 had increased employee compensation and benefits expense ($2.6 million due to increased salary rates, deferred compensation expense, staffing levels and incentive compensation), a $0.6 million Graphics Segment expense related to alleged patent infringement, increased product warranty expense ($0.3 million primarily in the Lighting Segment), increased sales commissions ($0.1 million) and increased depreciation expense ($0.7 million, primarily related to the Company’s business operating system). These increases were partially offset by a favorable $0.4 million gain related to the Company’s Graphics Segment’s partial settlement of its bankruptcy claim against Kmart, reduced outside professional fees with outside consultants related to the JD Edwards OneWorld business operating system and to the documentation and testing of internal controls ($0.8 million), and a decreased provision for bad debts ($0.2 million).

The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of July 1, 2004 as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS No. 142), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” and recorded an impairment of $186,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. There was no impairment in fiscal 2004. See Note 6 to the financial statements for additional information.

The Company reported interest expense of $217,000 in fiscal 2005 as compared to $260,000 last year. The average interest rate on the Company’s line of credit has increased in fiscal 2005 as compared to last year, but the average borrowings outstanding have decreased. The effective tax rate in fiscal 2005 was 36.0% as compared to 37.0% in fiscal 2004. The reduced effective tax rate was related to state income taxes, partially offset by a higher federal income tax rate (35% as compared to 34.1%).

Net income increased 68% in fiscal 2005 to $14,636,000 as compared to $8,690,000 last year. The increase is primarily the result of increased gross profit on increased net sales, partially offset by increased operating expenses, and income taxes. Diluted earnings per share was $0.73 in fiscal 2005 as compared to $0.43 per share in fiscal 2004, a 70% increase. The weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share in fiscal 2005 was 20,087,000 shares as compared to 20,038,000 shares last year.

S-2

2004 Compared To 2003

Net sales of $241,405,000 in fiscal 2004 increased 13% from fiscal 2003 net sales of $213,133,000. Lighting Segment net sales increased $23.7 million, or 17%, to $159,748,000 and Graphics Segment net sales increased $4.6 million, or 6%, to $81,657,000 as compared to the prior year. Sales to the petroleum / convenience store market, the Company’s largest market representing 28% and 29% of fiscal 2004 and 2003 net sales, respectively, were up 9% over fiscal 2003 to $66.5 million. Net sales to this market are reported in both the Lighting and Graphics Segments, depending upon the product or service sold. While sales to this market have increased this year, the Company believes concerns about the Middle East and the war with Iraq have had the effect of reducing major image program spending by the major oil companies. The petroleum / convenience store market has been, and will continue to be, a very important niche market for the Company.

The $23.7 million increase in Lighting Segment net sales is primarily the result of an approximate $10.2 million increase in sales to the commercial / industrial lighting markets (resulting, in part, from a slight improvement in the economy, as well as good response from the Company’s new independent commercial sales representatives), and an aggregate increase of $12.4 million of lighting sales to our niche markets of petroleum / convenience store, automotive dealerships, quick service restaurants, and retail national accounts (including increased sales to a major national retailer).

The $4.6 million increase in Graphics Segment net sales is primarily the result of the net effect of increased graphics sales to the petroleum / convenience store market ($3.2 million), increased sales to a retail store customer (approximately $9.5 million), and reduced menu board system sales (one quick service restaurant customer sales are down $6.4 million as their roll out program is now considered complete in fiscal 2005).

Image and brand programs, whether full conversions or enhancements, are important to the Company’s strategic direction. Image programs include situations where our customers refurbish their retail sites around the country by replacing some or all of the lighting, graphic elements, menu board systems and possibly other items they may source from other suppliers. These image programs often take several quarters to complete and involve both our customers’ corporate-owned sites as well as their franchisee-owned sites, the latter of which involve separate sales efforts by the Company with each franchisee. Brand programs typically occur as new products are offered or new departments are created within an existing retail store. Relative to net sales to a customer before and after an image or brand program, net sales during the program are typically significantly higher, depending upon how much of the lighting, graphics or menu board business is awarded to the Company. Sales related to a customer’s image or brand program are reported in either the Lighting Segment and/or the Graphics Segment, depending upon the product and/or service provided.

While sales prices in some markets that the Company serves were increased in the second half of the year, inflation did not have a significant impact on sales in fiscal 2004. The Company experienced competitive pricing pressures in most markets, thereby holding price increases to a minimum. In some markets the Company was able to increase sales prices to recover increased raw material costs, but generally with little or no increase in gross profit. The rise in steel and aluminum prices caused a reduction in the gross profit margin. Additionally, during this period of transition to an improving economy, in certain situations the Company has accepted lower-than-normal sales prices and lower-than-normal margins where necessary, in part to protect and grow market share.

Gross profit of $59,522,000 in fiscal 2004 increased 8% from last year, but decreased as a percentage of net sales to 24.7% in fiscal 2004 as compared to 25.9% last year. The increase in amount of gross profit is due primarily to the 13% increase in net sales, product mix and efficiencies, partially offset by higher installation, freight and distribution expenses. While the Company instituted sales price increases in the second half of fiscal 2004, manufacturing wages and compensation increases that were two percentage points greater than the increase in net sales, competitive pricing

S-3

pressures throughout the year and increasing material costs in the second half contributed to the decreased gross profit margin percentage. Selling and administrative expenses increased $1.7 million. Fiscal 2004 had $0.8 million lower bad debt expense (in fiscal 2003 the Graphics Segment had significant additional expense due primarily to customer bankruptcies and cash flow difficulties), lower legal and professional fees ($0.2 million), and lower travel expense ($0.2 million). Items offsetting this reduction of expense were increased employee compensation ($1.7 million due to increased salary rates, and increased staffing levels and incentive compensation) and outside consultant expenses ($0.7 million) related to the Company’s implementation of JD Edwards OneWorld business operating system in the Cincinnati and Kentucky operations and to the documentation and testing of internal controls.

The Company reported interest expense of $260,000 in fiscal 2004 as compared to $378,000 last year. The change between years is reflective of both reduced interest rates and reduced average outstanding borrowings on the Company’s line of credit. The effective tax rate in fiscal 2004 was 37.0%. The fiscal 2003 effective tax rate of 30.7% is the net result of a normal tax provision of about 37.5% that was reduced when the Company recorded federal and state income tax credits.

Income before cumulative effect of an accounting change was $8,690,000 in fiscal 2004, a 12% increase as compared to $7,793,000 in fiscal 2003. The increase is primarily the result of increased gross profit on increased net sales and decreased interest expense, partially offset by increased operating expenses and income taxes. Diluted earnings per share, before the cumulative effect of an accounting change, was $0.43 in fiscal 2004 as compared to $0.39 per share in fiscal 2003. The weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share in fiscal 2004 was 20,038,000 shares as compared to 19,923,000 shares last year.

The Company completed the transitional goodwill impairment test required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS No. 142), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” as of July 1, 2002. This test required the Company, through an independent appraisal firm, to assess the fair value, as determined on a discounted cash flow basis, of each reporting unit that had goodwill on its balance sheet, and compare that value to the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets as of July 1, 2002. The Company determined for the fiscal 2003 transitional goodwill impairment test that it had eight reporting units, each of which represented an acquired business that operated in the organizational structure one level below the business segment level. Based upon this analysis, there was full impairment of the recorded net goodwill of two reporting units in the Lighting Segment (totaling $23,593,000) and one reporting unit in the Graphics Segment (totaling $929,000). The impairment of $24,522,000, a non-cash and non-operating charge, was booked in the amount of $18,541,000, net of income taxes, as a change in accounting method and was recorded as of the date of adoption of SFAS No. 142, July 1, 2002. The Company has determined that it will perform its annual goodwill impairment test in accordance with SFAS No. 142 as of July 1^st each year. There were no changes in accounting methods and no impairment of goodwill in fiscal 2004.

The Company recorded net income of $8,690,000 in fiscal 2004 as compared to a net loss of $10,748,000 in fiscal 2003. The increase in 2004 is the result of the $18,541,000 goodwill impairment loss that was recorded as an accounting change in fiscal 2003, plus the increased fiscal 2004 income before cumulative effect of accounting change. Diluted earnings or (loss) per share was $(0.54) in fiscal 2003 as compared to $0.43 per share in fiscal 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company considers its level of cash on hand, its borrowing capacity, its current ratio and working capital levels to be its most important measures of short-term liquidity. For long-term liquidity indicators, the Company believes its ratio of long-term debt to equity and its historical levels of net cash flows from operating activities to be the most important measures.

S-4

At June 30, 2005 the Company had working capital of $67.2 million, compared to $64.7 million at June 30, 2004. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities improved to 3.13 to 1 from 3 to 1. The increase in working capital was primarily related to a significant increase in cash ($7.0 million), increased accounts receivable ($4.2 million), and decreased accounts payable ($2.5 million), partially offset by decreased inventories ($8.2 million), decreased other current assets ($1.3 million) and increased accrued expenses ($1.7million). The $4.2 million increase in accounts receivable is due to higher fourth quarter fiscal 2005 net sales as compared to fourth quarter fiscal 2004. The DSO (days sales outstanding) was 59 days at both June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004. With the Company’s focus on inventory reduction in fiscal 2005, raw materials inventories decreased $4.6 million, and work in process and finished goods inventories are down $3.6 million since the end of fiscal 2004.

The Company generated $27.5 million of cash from operating activities in fiscal 2005 as compared to a generation of cash of $12.1 million last year. The $15.4 million increase in net cash flows from operating activities in fiscal 2005 is primarily the net result of increased net income ($5.9 million favorable), less of an increase in accounts receivable (unfavorable change of $1.1 million), a decrease in refundable income taxes (unfavorable change of $0.8 million), a decrease in inventories rather than the increase last year (favorable change of $15.6 million), a decrease in other current assets rather than the increase last year (favorable change of $3.2 million), an aggregate $0.8 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses in fiscal 2005 as compared to an aggregate $8.5 million increase last year (net $9.3 million unfavorable), more depreciation, amortization and goodwill impairment in fiscal 2005 ($1.2 million favorable), an increase in net deferred income tax assets rather than a decrease ($1.4 million unfavorable), and an unfavorable change of $0.3 million related to distributions out of the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan.

Net accounts and notes receivables were $46.7 million and $42.5 million at June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively. The 10% increase in receivables is due to the net result of increased sales of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 as well as the timing of customer payments. The Company believes that its receivables are ultimately collectible or recoverable, net of certain reserves, and that aggregate allowances for doubtful accounts are adequate.

Inventories at June 30, 2005 declined $8.2 million from June 30, 2004 levels. An inventory decrease of about $0.6 million occurred in the Graphics Segment, while Lighting Segment inventories decreased about $7.6 million in fiscal 2005. The $2.5 million reduction of accounts payable from June 30, 2004 to June 30, 2005 is related to the timing of both purchases of inventory and payments to suppliers.

Cash generated from operations and borrowing capacity under a line of credit agreement are the Company’s primary source of liquidity. The Company has an unsecured $50 million revolving line of credit with its bank group, all of which was available as of September 1, 2005. This line of credit consists of a $30 million three year committed credit facility expiring in fiscal 2008 and a $20 million credit facility with an annual renewal in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company believes that the total of available lines of credit plus cash flows from operating activities is adequate for the Company’s fiscal 2006 operational and capital expenditure needs. The Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants.

Capital expenditures of $3.6 million in fiscal 2005 compare to $4.7 million in fiscal 2004. Fiscal 2005 spending is primarily for tooling and equipment. The Company intends to expand its graphics facility in Rhode Island, thereby increasing expected fiscal 2006 capital expenditures to the range of $7.0 to $8.0 million, exclusive of business acquisitions.

The Company used $17.0 million of cash related to financing activities in fiscal 2005 as compared to a use of $7.4 million in fiscal 2004. The $9.6 million change between years is primarily the net result of increased net payments on the Company’s line of credit (unfavorable $9.0 million),

S-5

increased dividend payments (unfavorable $1.6 million) pursuant to the Company’s increased indicated annual dividend payment amount, and increased cash flow from the exercise of stock options and issuance of common shares pursuant to compensation programs (favorable $1.0 million). As of June 30, 2005 the Company’s long term debt has been paid down to zero.

As of June 30, 2005, the Company had the following contractual obligations pursuant to long-term borrowings, leases, purchase obligations not recognized in the financial statements (i.e., open purchase orders issued to suppliers), and all other liabilities reflected in the balance sheet (in thousands):

On August 24, 2005 the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share (approximately $1,987,000) as well as a special year-end cash dividend of $0.10 per share (approximately $1,987,000), both payable September 13, 2005 to shareholders of record on September 6, 2005. During fiscal 2005, the Company paid cash dividends of $6,805,000, as compared to $5,206,000 in fiscal 2004. The declaration and amount of dividends will be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, in its discretion, based upon its evaluation of earnings, cash flow, capital requirements and future business developments and opportunities, including acquisitions.

Carefully selected acquisitions have long been an important part of the Company’s strategic growth plans. The Company continues to seek out, screen and evaluate potential acquisitions that could add to the lighting or graphics product lines or enhance the Company’s position in selected markets. The Company believes adequate financing for any such investments or acquisitions will be available through future borrowings or through the issuance of common or preferred shares in payment for acquired businesses.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company is required to make estimates and judgments in the preparation of its financial statements that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related footnote disclosures. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. The Company continually reviews these estimates and their underlying assumptions to ensure they remain appropriate. The Company believes the items discussed below are among its most significant accounting policies because they utilize estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and therefore are based on management’s judgment. Significant changes in the estimates or assumptions related to any of the following critical accounting policies could possibly have a material impact on the financial statements.

S-6

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Securities Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition.” Revenue is recognized when title to goods and risk of loss have passed to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of a purchase arrangement, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenue is typically recognized at time of shipment. Sales are recorded net of estimated returns, rebates and discounts. Any cash received from customers prior to the recognition of revenue is accounted for as a customer pre-payment and is included in accrued expenses.

The Company has four sources of revenue: revenue from product sales; revenue from the installation of product; service revenue generated from providing the integrated design, project and construction management, site engineering, and site permitting; and revenue from shipping and handling.Product revenue is recognized on product-only orders at the time of shipment. Product revenue related to orders where the customer requires the Company to install the product is generally recognized when the product is installed. In some situations, product revenue is recognized when the product is shipped, before it is installed, because by agreement the customer has taken title to and risk of ownership for the product before installation has been completed. Other than normal product warranties or the possibility of installation, the Company has no post-shipment responsibilities.Installation revenue is recognized when the products have been fully installed. The Company is not always responsible for installation of products it sells and has no post-installation service contracts or responsibilities.Service revenue from integrated design, project and construction management, site engineering and permitting is recognized at the completion of the contract with the customer. With larger customer contracts involving multiple sites, the customer may require progress billings for completion of identifiable, time-phased elements of the work, in which case revenue is recognized at the time of the progress billing, which coincides with the revenue recognition criteria.Shipping and handling revenue coincides with the recognition of revenue from sale of the product.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS No. 109), accordingly deferred income taxes are provided on items that are reported as either income or expense in different time periods for financial reporting purposes than they are for income tax purposes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are reported on the Company’s balance sheet. Significant management judgment is required in developing the Company’s income tax provision, including the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowances that might be required against deferred tax assets. Management has determined that no valuation allowances are required.

The Company operates in multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities routinely review the Company’s tax returns. These audits can involve complex issues which may require an extended period of time to resolve. The impact of these examinations on the Company’s liability for income taxes cannot be presently determined. In management’s opinion, adequate provision has been made for potential adjustments arising from these examinations.

Asset Impairment

Carrying values of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed at least annually for possible impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS No. 142), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which was adopted on July 1, 2002. The Company’s impairment review involves the estimation of the fair value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets using a discounted cash flow approach, at the reporting unit level, that requires

S-7

significant management judgment with respect to revenue and expense growth rates, changes in working capital and the selection and use of an appropriate discount rate. The estimates of fair value of reporting units are based on the best information available as of the date of the assessment. The use of different assumptions would increase or decrease estimated discounted future operating cash flows and could increase or decrease an impairment charge. Company management uses its judgment in assessing whether assets may have become impaired between annual impairment tests. Indicators such as adverse business conditions, economic factors and technological change or competitive activities may signal that an asset has become impaired. An impairment charge of $24.5 million, or $18.5 million net of tax, related to goodwill was recorded in fiscal 2003 as the cumulative effect of an accounting change and charged against income. A goodwill impairment charge of $186,000 was recorded in fiscal 2005 resulting from the Company’s fiscal 2005 SFAS No. 142 annual review. See Note 6 to the financial statements for further discussion.

Carrying values for long-lived tangible assets and definite-lived intangible assets, excluding goodwill, are reviewed for possible impairment as circumstances warrant in connection with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS No. 144), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which was adopted on July 1, 2002. Impairment reviews are conducted at the judgment of Company management when it believes that a change in circumstances in the business or external factors warrants a review. Circumstances such as the discontinuation of a product or product line, a sudden or consistent decline in the forecast for a product, changes in technology or in the way an asset is being used, a history of negative operating cash flow, or an adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, among others, may trigger an impairment review. The Company’s initial impairment review to determine if a potential impairment charge is required is based on an undiscounted cash flow analysis at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist. The analysis requires judgment with respect to changes in technology, the continued success of product lines and future volume, revenue and expense growth rates, and discount rates. There were no impairment charges related to long-lived tangible assets or definite-lived intangible assets recorded by the Company during 2005, 2004 or 2003.

Credit and Collections

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts receivable for estimated losses resulting from either customer disputes or the inability of its customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make the required payments, the Company may be required to record additional allowances or charges against income. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by first considering all known collectibility problems of customers’ accounts, and then applying certain percentages against the various aging categories of the remaining receivables. The resulting allowance for doubtful accounts receivable is an estimate based upon the Company’s knowledge of its business and customer base, and historical trends. The Company also establishes allowances, at the time revenue is recognized, for returns and allowances, discounts, pricing and other possible customer deductions. These allowances are based upon historical trends.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 151, “Inventory Costs.” This statement amends Accounting Research Board (ARB) No. 43, “Inventory Pricing,” to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials should be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, this statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the cost of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, or the Company’s 2006 fiscal year beginning July 1, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this statement, but does not expect any significant impact on its financial condition or results of operations when it is implemented.

S-8

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R) (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment.” This statement establishes standards for the accounting of transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, primarily when it obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123(R) (revised 2004) supersedes the Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock issued to Employees. This Statement requires public entities to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based upon the grant date fair value of the award, with this cost being recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide the services. This statement is effective for the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005, or the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2006 which begins July 1, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this statement, but expects the impact to be consistent with the pro forma information presented in Note 1.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets.” This statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets and is effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this statement, but does not expect any significant impact on its financial condition or results of operations when it is implemented.

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” This statement replaces Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements,” and changes the requirement for the accounting for and reporting of a direct effect of a voluntary change in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. This statement also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate affected by a change in accounting principle. This statement is effective for accounting changes and error corrections made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, or the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2007 which begins July 1, 2006. The Company will comply with the provisions of this statement for any accounting changes or error corrections that occur after June 30, 2006.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Management of LSI Industries Inc. is responsible for the preparation and accuracy of the financial statements and other information included in this report. LSI’s Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of Management, including LSI’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, based on the criteria set forth in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

There are inherent limitations on the effectiveness of any system of internal controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective internal controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

In meeting its responsibility for the reliability of the financial statements, the Company depends upon its system of internal accounting controls. The system is designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are properly authorized and recorded. The system is supported by policies and guidelines, and by careful selection and training of financial management personnel. The Company also has a Disclosure Controls Committee, whose responsibility is to help ensure appropriate disclosures and presentation of the financial statements and notes thereto. Additionally, the Company has an Internal Audit Department to assist in monitoring compliance with financial policies and procedures.

The Board of Directors meets its responsibility for overview of the Company’s financial statements through its Audit Committee which is composed entirely of independent Directors who are not employees of the Company. The Audit Committee meets periodically with Management and Internal Audit to review and assess the activities of each in meeting their respective responsibilities. Grant Thornton has full access to the Audit Committee to discuss the results of their audit work, the adequacy of internal accounting controls, and the quality of financial reporting.

Based on LSI’s evaluation, Management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2005. Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005 has been audited by Grant Thornton LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is presented in these financial statements beginning on page S-12.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of LSI Industries Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of LSI Industries Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, based on criteria established inInternal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated August 19, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion therein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and

Shareholders of LSI Industries Inc.

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that LSI Industries Inc. (an Ohio Corporation) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). LSI Industries Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, management’s assessment that LSI Industries Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, LSI Industries Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, based on the COSO criteria.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LSI Industries Inc. (an Ohio corporation) and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Revenue recognition:

Product revenue is recognized on product-only orders at the time of shipment. Product revenue related to orders where the customer requires the Company to install the product is generally recognized when the product is installed. In some situations, product revenue is recognized when the product is shipped, before it is installed, because by agreement the customer has taken title to and risk of ownership for the product before installation has been completed. Other than normal product warranties or the possibility of installation, the Company has no post-shipment responsibilities.

Installation revenue is recognized when the products have been fully installed. The Company is not always responsible for installation of products it sells and has no post-installation service contracts or responsibilities.

Service revenue from integrated design, project and construction management, site engineering and permitting is recognized at the completion of the contract with the customer. With larger customer contracts involving multiple sites, the customer may require progress billings for completion of identifiable, time-phased elements of the work, in which case revenue is recognized at the time of the progress billing, which coincides with the revenue recognition criteria.

Shipping and handling revenue coincides with the recognition of revenue from sale of the product.

Amounts received from customers prior to the recognition of revenue are accounted for as customer pre-payments and are included in accrued expenses.

Credit and Collections:

S-19

Cash and cash equivalents:

The cash balance includes cash and cash equivalents which have original maturities of less than three months. At June 30, 2005 and 2004 the bank balances included $8,881,000 and $916,000, respectively, in excess of FDIC insurance limits.

Inventories:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out basis.

Property, plant and equipment and related depreciation:

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Major additions and betterments are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are expensed. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:


Buildings		31 -40 years
Machinery and equipment		3 - 10 years
Computer software		3 - 8 years

Costs related to the purchase, internal development, and implementation of the Company’s business operating software system are either capitalized or expensed in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use.” The current business operating software was first implemented in January 2000. All costs capitalized for the business operating software are being depreciated over an eight year life from the date placed in service. Other purchased computer software is being depreciated over periods ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of fifteen years or the remaining term of the lease. The Company recorded $6,494,000 and $5,442,000 of depreciation expense in the years ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively.

Intangible assets:

Intangible assets consisting of customer lists, trade names, patents and trademarks are recorded on the Company’s balance sheet and are being amortized to expense over periods ranging between twelve and forty years. The excess of cost over fair value of assets acquired (“goodwill”) was amortized to expense over periods ranging between fifteen and forty years through fiscal 2002. Beginning in fiscal 2003, goodwill is no longer amortized, but is subject to review for impairment. See additional information about goodwill and intangibles in Note 6. The Company periodically evaluates intangible assets, goodwill and other long-lived assets for permanent impairment. Impairments have been recorded only with respect to goodwill (see Note 6).

Fair value of financial instruments:

The Company has financial instruments consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents, revolving lines of credit, and long-term debt. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value because of their short-term maturity and/or variable, market-driven interest rates. The Company has no financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk.

Contingencies:

The Company is party to various negotiations, customer bankruptcies, and legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity. See also Note 12.

The Company has a defined contribution retirement plan and a discretionary profit sharing plan covering substantially all of its employees, a second discretionary profit sharing plan covering employees of one subsidiary, and a non-qualified deferred compensation plan covering certain employees. The costs of employee benefit plans are charged to expense and funded annually. Total costs were $1,864,000 in 2005, $1,755,000 in 2004, and $1,500,000 in 2003. Additionally a $775,000 non-cash expense was recorded in fiscal 2005 in accordance with variable accounting procedures related to the deferred compensation plan.

Advertising expense:

The Company recorded $631,000, $360,000 and $345,000 of advertising expense in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Advertising costs are expensed the first time the advertising occurs. Expense related to printed product or capabilities literature, brochures, etc. is recorded on a ratable basis over the useful life of that printed media.

Income taxes:

Earnings per common share:

The computation of basic earnings per common share is based on the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period and includes common share equivalents. Common share equivalents include the dilutive effect of stock options, contingently issuable shares (for which issuance has been determined to be probable), and common shares to be issued under a deferred compensation plan, all of which totaled 305,000 shares in 2005, 321,000 shares in 2004, and 215,000 shares in 2003. See also Note 4.

Stock options:

The company applies the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Accordingly, no compensation expense has been reflected in the financial statements as the exercise price of options granted to employees and non-employee directors is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS No. 123), “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.”

S-21

If the Company had adopted the expense recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, net income and earnings per share for the years ended June 30, 2005, 2004, and 2003 would have been as follows:


*(In thousands except earnings per share)*	2005		2004		2003

Comprehensive income:

The Company does not have any comprehensive income items other than net income.

Reclassification:

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts in order to be consistent with the presentation for the current year.

Use of estimates:

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 - BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

Effective July 1, 2003, the Company re-aligned its business segments and now operates in the following two business segments: the Lighting Segment and the Graphics Segment. The Company is organized such that the chief operating decision maker (the President and Chief Executive Officer) now receives financial and operating information relative to these two business segments, and organizationally, has a President of LSI Lighting SolutionsPlus and a President of LSI Graphics SolutionsPlus reporting directly to him. In the seven years prior to fiscal 2004, the Company reported business segments as the Image Segment and the Commercial / Industrial Lighting Segment. All prior period information has been revised to reflect the Company’s new segments. The Company’s most significant market is the petroleum / convenience store market with approximately 25%, 28%, and 29% of total net sales concentrated in this market in fiscal 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.

S-23

The Company considers its geographic areas to be: 1) the United States, and 2) foreign. The foreign content of business is represented by 3%, or less, of total net sales in fiscal years 2003 through 2005. All capital expenditures, depreciation and amortization, and identifiable assets are in the United States. The following information is provided for the following periods:

NOTE 6 - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company completed its transitional goodwill impairment test in fiscal 2003 as of July 1, 2002, its date of adoption of SFAS No. 142. The Company determined for the transitional goodwill impairment test that it had eight reporting units, each of which represented an acquired business that operated in the organizational structure one level below the business segment level. Based upon this analysis, there was full impairment of the recorded net goodwill of two reporting units in the Lighting Segment (totaling $23,593,000) and one reporting unit in the Graphics Segment (totaling $929,000). The impairment of $24,522,000, a non-cash and non-operating charge, was booked in the amount of $18,541,000, net of income taxes, as a change in accounting method and was recorded as of the date of adoption of SFAS No. 142, July 1, 2002. The fiscal 2004 SFAS No. 142 testing was completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. The Company determined that it had three reporting units, two of which represented acquired businesses and one of which was an aggregation of acquired businesses at the business segment level. Test results indicated there was no impairment of goodwill. The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test in fiscal 2005 as of July 1, 2004. The Company determined that it had three reporting units. Based upon this analysis, there was full impairment of the recorded net goodwill of one reporting unit in the Lighting Segment. The impairment of $186,000, a non-cash charge, was recorded as an operating expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.

The following tables present information about the Company’s goodwill and other intangible assets on the dates or for the periods indicated:

The Company expects to record amortization expense of $480,000 related to other intangible assets in each of the next five years following 2005.

NOTE 7 - REVOLVING LINES OF CREDIT AND LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company has an unsecured $50 million revolving line of credit with its bank group, all of which was available as of June 30, 2005. A portion of this credit facility is a $20 million line of credit that expires in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The remainder of the credit facility is a $30 million three year committed line of credit that expires in fiscal 2008. Annually in the third quarter, the credit facility is renewable with respect to adding an additional year of commitment to replace the year just ended. Interest on the

S-27

revolving lines of credit is charged based upon an increment over the LIBOR rate as periodically determined, an increment over the Federal Funds Rate as periodically determined, or at the bank’s base lending rate, at the Company’s option. The increment over the LIBOR borrowing rate, as periodically determined, fluctuates between 50 and 75 basis points depending upon the ratio of indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). The increment over the Federal Funds borrowing rate, as periodically determined, fluctuates between 150 and 200 basis points, and the commitment fee on the unused balance of the $30 million committed portion of the line of credit fluctuates between 15 and 25 basis points based upon the same leverage ratio. Under terms of these agreements, the Company has agreed to a negative pledge of assets, to maintain minimum levels of profitability and net worth, and is subject to certain maximum levels of leverage. The Company’s borrowings under its bank credit facilities during fiscal year 2005 averaged approximately $7.8 million at an approximate average borrowing rate of 2.43%.

NOTE 8 - SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company has an equity compensation plan that covers all of its full-time employees and non-employee directors. This equity compensation plan replaced two stock option plans that still have outstanding options that may be exercised in the future. The options granted pursuant to this plan are granted at fair market value at date of grant. Options granted to non-employee directors are immediately exercisable and options granted to employees generally become exercisable 25% per year (cumulative) beginning one year after the date of grant. The number of shares reserved for issuance is 2,910,188, of which 1,862,463 shares were available for future grant as of June 30, 2005. The plan allows for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted and unrestricted stock awards, performance stock awards, and other stock awards. The Company awarded a total of 3,700 common shares in fiscal 2005, valued at their approximate $55,000 fair market value on the date of issuance pursuant to the compensation programs for non-employee Directors who receive a portion of their compensation as an award of Company stock and employees who receive a stock award following their twentieth employment anniversary.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) (SFAS No. 123) requires, at a minimum, pro forma disclosures of expense for stock-based awards based on their fair values. The fair value of each option on the date of grant has been estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were used for grants in fiscal 2005, 2004, and 2003.


	2005		2004		2003
Dividend yield	3.29	%	2.16	%	1.89	%
Expected volatility	38	%	47	%	48	%
Risk-free interest rate	3.3	%	3.26	%	2.93	%
Expected life	8 yrs.		4-9 yrs.		8 yrs.

The 377,000 options granted during fiscal 2005 to employees and non-employee directors had, at June 30, 2005, exercise prices ranging from $8.55 to $10.71, fair values ranging from $3.50 to $4.26 per option, and remaining contractual lives of about nine years. The 7,550 options granted during fiscal 2004 to employees and non-employee directors had, at June 30, 2004, exercise prices ranging from $9.60 to $12.99, fair values ranging from $3.33 to $5.40 per option, and remaining contractual lives of four to nine

S-28

years. At June 30, 2003, the 5,625 options granted during fiscal 2003 to non-employee directors had, at June 30, 2003, exercise prices of $8.59, fair values of $4.01 and remaining contractual lives of about nine years.

Information involving the stock option plans for the years ended June 30, 2005, 2004, and 2003 is shown in the table below:


	2005				2004				2003

The Company has a non-qualified deferred compensation plan providing for both Company contributions and participant deferrals of compensation. All Plan investments are in common shares of the Company. As of June 30, 2005 there were 36 participants with either partially or fully vested account balances. A total of 185,535 common shares with a cost of $1,846,000, and 204,492 common shares with a cost of $2,054,000 were held in the Plan as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and, accordingly, have been recorded as treasury shares. The change in the number of shares held by this plan is the net result of share purchases from compensation deferred into the Plan and the sales of shares for distributions to terminated employees. As a result of the Company changing the distribution method for this deferred compensation plan in April 2004 from one of issuing shares of Company stock to terminated participants to one of issuing cash, it was determined that this plan is now subject to variable accounting. Therefore, the shares in this plan were “marked-to-market” and a $775,000 non-cash expense and long-term liability were recorded to reflect the $13.94 per share market price of the Company’s common shares at June 30, 2005.

On August 24, 2005, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share as well as a special year end cash dividend of $0.10 per share, both payable September 13, 2005 to shareholders of record on September 6, 2005. Annual cash dividend payments made during fiscal years 2005, 2004, and 2003 were $0.372, $0.264, and $0.192 per share, respectively.

NOTE 9 - LEASES AND PURCHASE COMMITMENTS

The Company leases certain of its facilities and equipment under operating lease arrangements. Rental expense was $2,342,000 in 2005, $1,920,000 in 2004, and $1,906,000 in 2003. Minimum annual rental commitments under non-cancelable operating leases are: $1,607,000 in 2006, $1,282,000 in 2007, $967,000 in 2008, and $172,000 in 2009, and $2,000 in 2010. There are no commitments beyond 2010. Purchase commitments of the Company totaled $8,540,000 as of June 30, 2005.

As of June 30, 2004, the Company had recorded refundable income taxes as a current asset in the amount of $516,000. The majority of the refundable income taxes related to excess quarterly estimated federal income tax payments made during the year. Such refundable income taxes were applied in fiscal year 2005 to the Company’s quarterly estimated federal income tax payments. As of June 30, 2005 the Company has recorded a current income tax liability of $279,000 that is included in accrued expenses.

As of June 30, 2005 the Company has recorded a deferred New York state income tax asset in the amount of $769,000 related to the approximate $16 million state net operating loss carryover generated by the Company’s LSI Lightron subsidiary. Additionally, as of June 30, 2005 the Company has recorded a deferred New York state income tax asset in the amount of $566,000 related to LSI Lightron’s impaired goodwill that was written off in fiscal 2003. The Company has determined that a valuation reserve is not

S-30

required as of June 30, 2005 because the Company has determined in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS No. 109) that the net operating loss tax benefit will, more likely than not, be realized. The Company will continue to monitor the operations of this subsidiary to evaluate any potential need for a valuation reserve.

NOTE 12 - LOSS CONTINGENCY RESERVE

The Company is party to various negotiations and legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business, most of which are dismissed or resolved with minimal expense plus the Company’s legal fees. As of June 30, 2005 the Company is the defendant in a complex lawsuit alleging patent infringement with respect to some of the Company’s menu board systems sold over the past nine years. The Company intends to defend this case vigorously. In the progress of this case, the Company made a reasonable settlement offer and, accordingly, has recorded a loss contingency reserve in the amount of $590,000 (approximately $.02 per share, diluted) in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. This settlement offer was not accepted by the plaintiff and the Company received a counter offer of $4.1 million to settle the majority of the alleged patent infringement. A non-binding mediation will be held in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 to determine if the parties can reach a settlement before the lawsuit proceeds to court. There is the possibility that final resolution of this matter could result in an additional loss in excess of the presently established loss reserve. Management is not able to estimate the likelihood or amount of such additional loss, or a range of additional loss. However, management believes that while the ultimate disposition of this matter and such potential additional loss could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results from operations and cash flows in the period in which it is recorded or paid, no such charge would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or liquidity. Should this patent infringement case be resolved against the Company, it would be likely that the Company would be responsible to make royalty payments to the plaintiff at a currently unknown percentage of future menu board system sales.
