NOTE C. LITIGATION
On May 4, 1995, the Company was served with a complaint alleging that
the Company infringed on the plaintiff's patent rights. On November 5, 1997, the
case was dismissed and the plaintiff appealed the decision. Management of the
Company believes that there is no infringement and intends to defend the
litigation vigorously. The Company's trial counsel is unable to evaluate the
likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or the potential range of loss, if any.
7
During the year ended May 3, 1997, a lawsuit was brought by another
party alleging the Company breached contracts, committed tortious interference
with contract, intentionally inflicted emotional distress and is responsible for
compensatory and punitive damages. On October 28, 1997, a jury awarded the
plaintiff an amount the Company had accrued as owing the plaintiff for royalties
and commissions. The amount has been paid by the Company. The plaintiff has
appealed part of the verdict. The Company's trial counsel is unable to evaluate
the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome, or an estimate of the range or amount
of possible loss, if any.
The Company has recorded a provision for estimated costs to be incurred
in connection with the litigation described above, as well as other
miscellaneous claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business.

ITEM 2. FINANCIAL REVIEW
(Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations)
The following discussion highlights the principal factors affecting
changes in financial condition and results of operations.
This review should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
GENERAL
The Company designs, manufactures and sells a wide range of
computer-programmable information display systems to customers in a variety of
markets throughout the world. The Company focuses its sales and marketing
efforts on markets rather than products. Major categories of markets include
Sports, Business and Government.
The Company's net sales and profitability historically have fluctuated
due to the impact of large product orders, such as display systems for the
Olympic Games and major league sports, as well as the seasonality of the sports
market. The Company's gross margins on large product orders tend to fluctuate
more than those for small standard orders. Large product orders that involve
competitive bidding and substantial subcontract work for product installation
generally have lower gross margins. Although the Company follows the percentage
of completion method of recognizing revenues for these large orders, the Company
nevertheless has experienced fluctuations in operating results and expects that
its future results of operations may be subject to similar fluctuations.
The Company operates on a 52 - 53 week fiscal year, with fiscal years
ending on the Saturday closest to April 30 of each year. The first three
quarters end on the Saturday closest to July 31, October 31 and January 31.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth the percentage of net sales represented
by items included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the
periods indicated:

NET SALES
Net sales were $22.2 million for the three months ended August 1, 1998
compared to $15.8 million for the three months ended August 2, 1997. The
increase in net sales was due primarily to increases in net sales in the
federation and major league niches of the sports markets. The increase in the
federation niche was due to the sales relating to the 1998 Central American
Games and to the 2000 Sydney Olympics. The increase in the major league niche
was the result of a contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit increased to $6.3 million for the three months ended
August 1, 1998 from $4.0 million for the three months ended August 2, 1997. The
increase in gross profit was the result of an increase in net sales and
continued improvement in the gross profit percentage of sales.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Selling expenses were $2.6 million for the three months ended August 1,
1998 and $2.2 million for the three months ended August 2, 1997. As a percent of
sales, selling expenses decreased 2%.
General and administrative expenses were $952,000 for the three months
ended August 1, 1998 compared to $719,000 for the three months ended August 2,
1997. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in salary and
personnel.
Product design and development expenses increased to $868,000 for the
three months ended August 1, 1998 from $628,000 for the three months ended
August 2, 1997. The increase was due to a greater number of product development
projects which included continued improvement of the Company's new LED video
product, and upgrading and expanding existing products.
INTEREST INCOME
The Company occasionally sells products on an installment basis or in
exchange for advertising revenues from the scoreboard or display, both of which
result in long-term receivables. Interest income increased to $102,000 for the
three months ended August 1, 1998 from $96,000 for the three months ended August
1, 1997.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense increased to $174,000 for the three months ended
August 1, 1998 from $113,000 for the three months ended August 2, 1997. The
increase was the result of an increase in average loan balances.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Income tax expense as a percentage of income before income taxes was
40% for both the three months ended August 1, 1998 and August 2, 1997,
respectively.
NET INCOME
Net income increased to $1,113,000 from $269,000 for the three months
ended August 1, 1998 and August 2, 1997, respectively. The increase was due
primarily to the increase in gross profit and net sales and a decrease in
operating expenses.
Management believes that one of the principal factors that will affect
net sales and income growth is the Company's ability to increase the marketing
of its products in existing markets and expand the marketing of its products to
new markets.
10
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital was $12.7 million at August 1, 1998 and $12.2 million
at May 2, 1998. Working capital provided by net income, depreciation and
amortization was offset by purchases of property and equipment and repayment of
long-term debt. The Company has historically financed working capital needs
through a combination of cash flow from operations and borrowings under bank
credit agreements.
Cash used by operations for the three months ended August 1, 1998 was
$1,282,000. Net income of $1,113,000 plus depreciation and amortization of
$488,000 were offset by an increase in inventories including costs and estimated
earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts. Cash used by investing
activities consisted of $1,395,000 of purchases of property and equipment. Cash
provided from financing activities included $2,697,000 net borrowings under the
Company's line of credit and $33,000 in proceeds from the exercise of stock
options. Cash used for financing activities consisted of $71,000 of repayment of
long-term debt.
The Company has used and expects to continue to use cash reserves and
bank borrowings to meet its short-term working capital requirements. On large
product orders, the time between acceptance and completion may extend up to 12
months depending on the amount of custom work and the customer's delivery needs.
The Company often receives a down payment or progress payments on these product
orders. To the extent that these payments are not sufficient to fund the costs
and other expenses associated with these orders, the Company uses working
capital and bank borrowings to finance these cash requirements.
The Company's product development activities include the enhancement of
existing products and the development of new products from existing
technologies. Product development expenses were $868,000 for the three months
ended August 1, 1998 and $628,000 for the three months ended August 2, 1997. The
Company intends to continue to incur these expenditures to develop new display
products using various display technologies to offer higher resolution, more
cost effective and energy efficient displays. Daktronics also intends to
continue developing software applications for its display controllers to enable
these products to continue to meet the needs and expectations of the
marketplace.
The Company has a credit agreement with a bank. The credit agreement
provides for a $15.0 million line of credit which includes up to $2.0 million
for standby letters of credit. The line of credit is at the prime rate of
interest established by the bank from time to time (8.50% at August 1, 1998) and
is due on September 15, 2000. As of August 1, 1998, $8.3 million had been drawn
on the line of credit and no standby letters of credit had been issued by the
bank. The credit agreement is unsecured and requires the Company to meet certain
covenants. Financial covenants include the maintenance of tangible net worth of
at least $21.5 million, a minimum liquidity ratio and a maximum ratio of
liabilities to tangible net worth.
The Company is sometimes required to obtain performance bonds for
display installations. The Company currently has a bonding line available
through an insurance company that provides for an Aggregate of $25.0 million in
bonded work outstanding. At August 1, 1998, the Company had $7.9 million of
bonded work outstanding against this line.
The Company believes that if its growth continues, it may need to
increase the amount of its credit facility. The Company anticipates that it will
be able to obtain any needed funds under commercially reasonable terms from its
current lender. The Company believes that cash from operations, from its
existing or increased credit facility, and its current working capital will be
adequate to meet the cash requirements of its operations in the foreseeable
future.
11
BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
A number of risks and uncertainties exist which could impact the
Company's future operating results. These uncertainties include, but are not
limited to, general economic conditions, competition, the Company's success in
developing new products and technologies, market acceptance of new products, and
other factors, including those set forth in the Company's SEC filings, including
its current report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 2, 1998.
YEAR 2000 ISSUES
Many existing computer programs use only two digits to identify a year
in the date field, with the result that data referring to the Year 2000 and
subsequent years may be misinterpreted by these programs. If present in the
computer applications of the Company or its suppliers and not corrected, this
problem could cause computer applications to fail or to create erroneous results
and could cause a disruption in operations and have an adverse effect on the
Company's business and results of operations. The Company has evaluated its
principal computer systems and is in the process of implementation of new
enterprise resource planning software which will be fully operational in fiscal
1999 and has been represented by the vendor to be Year 2000 compliant. The cost
of the new software will be capitalized. The Company has initiated discussions
with its key suppliers to determine whether they have any Year 2000 issues. The
Company has not incurred any material expenses to date in connection with this
evaluation, and does not anticipate material expenses in the future, depending
on the status of its key suppliers with respect to this issue. The Company has
reviewed its computer programs which it includes in its display systems and has
started to implement changes to be Year 2000 compliant. The Company has
determined that the cost of these modifications will not have a material impact
on the result of operations in upcoming fiscal years.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Accounting Standards
Executive Committee have issued certain Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards and Statements of Position, respectively, which have required
effective dates occurring after the Company's May 2, 1998 year end. The
Company's financial statements, including the disclosures therein, are not
expected to be materially affected by those accounting pronouncements.
