In addition to the factors described in this paragraph, the risk factors identified in our Form 10-K constitute risks and uncertainties that may affect the financial performance of the Company.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)


NOTE 1:  INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of Management, the interim financial statements include all normal adjustments and disclosures necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2007, and the results of its operations for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, and its cash flows for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes included in the fiscal 2006 annual report. Financial information as of June 30, 2006 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2:  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 intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

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.

The Company has four sources of revenue: revenue from product sales; revenue from installation of products; service revenue generated from providing 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 or post-shipment service and maintenance of certain solid

Page 6


state LED video screens or billboards, 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 responsibilities, other than normal warranties.

Service revenue from integrated design, project and construction management, and site 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 completion of the earnings process. Post-shipment service and maintenance revenue, if applicable, related to solid state LED video screens or billboards is recognized according to terms defined in each individual service agreement.

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:

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.

The following table presents the Company’s net accounts receivable at the dates indicated.

Facilities Expansion Grants and Credits:

The Company periodically receives either grants or credits for state income taxes when it expands a facility and/or its level of employment in certain states within which it operates. A grant is amortized to income over the time period that the state could be entitled to return of the grant if the expansion or job growth were not maintained, and is recorded as a reduction of either manufacturing overhead or administrative expenses. A credit is

Page 7


amortized to income over the time period that the state could be entitled to return of the credit if the expansion were not maintained, is recorded as a reduction of state income tax expense, and is subject to a valuation allowance review if the credit cannot immediately be utilized.

Short-Term Investments:

Short-term investments consist of tax free (federal) investments in high grade government agency backed bonds for which the interest rate resets weekly and the Company has a seven day put option. These investments are classified as trading securities and are stated at fair market value, which represents the most recent reset amount at period end. The Company invested in these types of short-term investments for a certain period of time during fiscal 2006.

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 fully integrated enterprise resource planning/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.

Intangible assets:

Intangible assets consisting of customer relationships, trade names and trademarks, patents, technology and software, and non-compete agreements are recorded on the Company's balance sheet and are being amortized to expense over periods ranging between two and forty years. The excess of cost over fair value of assets acquired ("goodwill") is not amortized but is subject to review for impairment. See additional information about goodwill and intangibles in Note 7. The Company periodically evaluates intangible assets, goodwill and other long-lived assets for permanent impairment.

Fair value of financial instruments:

The Company has financial instruments consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, 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.

Product warranties:

The Company offers a limited warranty that its products are free of defects in workmanship and materials. The specific terms and conditions vary somewhat by product line, but generally cover defects returned within one to five years from date of shipment. The Company records warranty liabilities to cover the estimated future costs for repair or replacement of defective returned products as well as products that need to be repaired or replaced in the field after installation. The Company calculates its liability for warranty claims by applying estimates to cover unknown claims, as well as estimating the total amount to be incurred for known warranty issues. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.

Changes in the Company’s warranty liabilities, which are included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, during the periods indicated below were as follows:

Contingencies:

The Company is party to various negotiations, customer bankruptcies, and legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. The Company provides reserves for these matters when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. 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 Note 11).


Page 9


Earnings per common share:

The computation of basic earnings per common share is based on the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period net of treasury shares held in the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan. 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 263,000 shares and 192,000 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and 258,000 shares and 241,000 shares for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Stock options:

The Company recorded $114,200 in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 as a reduction of income taxes payable, $104,100 as an increase in common stock, and $10,100 as a reduction of income tax expense to reflect the tax credits it will receive as a result of disqualifying dispositions of shares from stock option exercises. This had the effect of reducing cash flow from operating activities and increasing cash flow from financing activities by $104,100. The Company recorded $380,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 as a reduction of income taxes payable, $373,000 as an increase in additional paid in capital, and $7,000 as a reduction of income tax expense to reflect the tax credits it will receive as a result of disqualifying dispositions of shares from stock option exercises. This had the effect of reducing cash flow from operating activities and increasing cash flow from financing activities by $373,000. See further discussion in Note 10.

Recent Pronouncements:

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, classification and disclosure of the financial statement effects of a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return (“tax position”). The financial statement effects of a tax position must be recognized when there is a likelihood of more than 50 percent that based on the technical merits, the position will be sustained upon examination and resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the recognition threshold must be measured initially and subsequently as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. In addition, FIN 48 specifies certain annual disclosures that are required to be made once the interpretation has taken effect. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The cumulative effect of FIN 48 adoption will be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at July 1, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48, and cannot currently estimate the impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal

Page 10


years beginning after November 15, 2007, or the Company’s fiscal year 2009. The Company will be evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157, and cannot currently estimate the impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans.” This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. This Statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The effective date to initially recognize the funded status and to provide the required disclosures is for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006, or the Company’s fiscal year 2007. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008, or the Company’s fiscal year 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 158 and cannot currently estimate the impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position. We believe the impact will not be significant.

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of the pronouncement is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, or in the Company’s case, July 1, 2008. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 and cannot currently estimate the impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Comprehensive income:

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

Use of estimates:

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 3:  MAJOR CUSTOMER CONCENTRATIONS

 
The Company’s net sales to a major customer in the Graphics Segment, CVS Corporation, represented approximately $24,910,000, or 10% of consolidated net sales in the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The Company’s net sales to a major customer in the Lighting Segment, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., represented approximately $7,297,000, or 11%, and $21,866,000 or 10% of consolidated net sales in the three month and nine month periods, respectively, ended March 31, 2006. Additionally, the balance of accounts

Page 11


 
receivable from Wal-Mart Stores as of March 31, 2006 was approximately $4,522,000 or 11% of net accounts receivable.

NOTE 4: BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

NOTE 7:   GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company acquired substantially all the net assets of SACO Technologies, Inc. on June 26, 2006. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, effective on the date of acquisition. The total purchase exceeded the estimated fair value of net assets by approximately $42.7 million. A preliminary valuation of the Company’s goodwill and intangible assets was completed in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, and preliminary purchase price allocations have been made as of March 31, 2007. Identified intangible assets related to the LSI Saco acquisition are being amortized effective July 1, 2006 over appropriate asset lives. Goodwill and certain intangible assets such as the Saco trade name, non-compete agreements and customer relationships are included in the assets of the Technology Segment. Intangible assets such as the Smartvision® trade name, the LED technology, firmware and software are included as corporate assets. It is anticipated that the valuation analysis will be fully complete in the fourth quarter of FY 2007, with no material changes to the Company’s financial statements.

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

NOTE 8: REVOLVING LINES OF CREDIT AND LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company has an unsecured $50 million revolving line of credit with its bank group. A total of $6.5 million was outstanding at March 31, 2007 at an average interest rate of 5.9%, and $43.5 million was available as of that date. A portion of this credit facility is a $20 million line of credit that expires in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The remainder of the credit facility is a $30 million three year committed line of credit that expires in fiscal 2010. 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 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,

Page 18


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 through the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 averaged approximately $18.8 million at an approximate average borrowing rate of 5.9%.

The Company also established a $7 million line of credit for its Canadian subsidiary. The line of credit expires in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Interest on the Canadian subsidiary’s line of credit is charged based upon an increment over the LIBOR rate or based upon an increment over the United States base rates if funds borrowed are denominated in U.S. dollars or an increment over the Canadian prime rate if funds borrowed are denominated in Canadian dollars. There are no borrowings against this line of credit.

The Company had two equipment loans at June 30, 2006 totaling $65,000 as a result of the acquisition of Saco Technologies. These loans were paid off in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

NOTE 9: CASH DIVIDENDS

The Company paid cash dividends of $8,158,000 and $8,777,000 in the nine month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In April, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a $0.13 per share regular quarterly cash dividend (approximately $2,794,000) payable on May 15, 2007 to shareholders of record May 8, 2007.

NOTE 10: EQUITY COMPENSATION

On July 1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which requires the Company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments and to recognize this cost in the financial statements over the period during which an employee is required to provide services.

Stock Options

The Company has an equity compensation plan that was approved by shareholders which covers all of its full-time employees, outside directors and advisors. The options granted or stock awards made pursuant to this plan are granted at fair market value at date of grant or award. Options granted to non-employee directors become exercisable 25%

Page 17


each ninety days (cumulative) from date of grant, and options granted to employees generally become exercisable 25% per year (cumulative) beginning one year after the date of grant. Prior to fiscal 2007, options granted to non-employee directors were immediately exercisable. The number of shares reserved for issuance is 2,250,000, of which 1,579,920 shares were available for future grant or award as of March 31, 2007. This 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. As of March 31, 2007, a total of 979,788 options for common shares were outstanding from this plan as well as two previous stock option plans (both of which had also been approved by shareholders), and of these, a total of 526,931 options for common shares were vested and exercisable. The approximate unvested stock option expense as of March 31, 2007 that will be recorded as expense in future periods is $1,787,000. The weighted average time over which this expense will be recorded is approximately 23 months.

The fair value of each option on the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The below listed weighted average assumptions were used for grants in the periods indicated.

At March 31, 2007, the 245,700 options granted in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 to employees and non-employee directors had exercise prices ranging from $13.83 to $18.19, fair values ranging from $4.88 to $6.55, and remaining contractual lives of between four and one-half years to ten years.

At March 31, 2006, the 6,000 options granted in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 to non-employee directors had exercise prices of $17.02, fair values of $5.63, and remaining contractual lives of approximately nine years and eight months.

The Company records stock option expense using a straight line Black-Scholes method with an estimated 10% forfeiture rate. The expected volatility of the Company’s stock was calculated based upon the historic monthly fluctuation in stock price for a period approximating the expected life of option grants. The risk-free interest rate is the rate of a five year Treasury security at constant, fixed maturity on the approximate date of the stock option grant. The expected life of outstanding options is determined to be less than the contractual term for a period equal to the aggregate group of option holders’ estimated weighted average time within which options will be exercised. It is the Company’s policy that when stock options are exercised, new common shares shall be issued. No equity compensation expense has been capitalized in inventory or fixed assets.

Stock Compensation Awards
 
The Company awarded a total of 1,916 common shares in the first nine months of fiscal 2007, valued at their approximate $30,000 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. Stock compensation awards are made in the form of newly issued common shares of the Company.

Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company has a non-qualified deferred compensation plan providing for both Company contributions and participant deferrals of compensation. The Plan is fully funded in a Rabbi Trust. All Plan investments are in common shares of the Company. As of March 31, 2007 there were 34 participants with fully vested account balances. A total of 202,328 common shares with a cost of $2,226,900, and 187,725 common shares with a cost of $1,957,500 were held in the Plan as of March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2006, 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 and sales on the open stock market for compensation deferred into the Plan and for distributions to terminated employees. The Company does not issue new common shares for purposes of the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan. 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 was subject to variable accounting. Therefore, the shares in this plan were “marked-to-market” in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and a $573,000 non-cash expense and long-term liability were recorded to reflect the $16.82 per share market price of the Company’s common shares at September 9, 2005, the date this Plan was amended to provide for distributions to participants only in the form of common shares of the Company. Accordingly, no future “mark-to-market” expense will be required with respect to this plan. For the full fiscal year 2007, the Company estimates the Rabbi Trust for the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan will make net repurchases in the range of 20,000 to 25,000 common shares of the Company. During the nine months ended March 31, 2007 the Company used approximately $284,600 to purchase common shares of the Company in the open stock market for either employee salary deferrals or Company contributions into the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan. The Company does not currently repurchase its own common shares for any other purpose.

NOTE 11:  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 to the Company, exclusive of legal fees. In March 2007, the Company received a favorable summary judgment decision as the defendant in a complex lawsuit alleging patent infringement with respect to some of the Company’s menu board systems sold over the past approximately ten years. The Company has defended this case vigorously and has won every important decision, including summary judgment to dismiss the allegations of patent infringement. The Company made a reasonable settlement offer in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 and, accordingly, recorded a loss contingency reserve in the amount of $590,000. 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. As a result of the favorable summary judgment decision, the loss contingency reserve of $590,000 has been written off to income in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. The plaintiffs in this lawsuit have appealed the summary judgment decision. In what we believe the unlikely event the plaintiffs are successful in this appeal, the lawsuit would be back in progress. In another matter, the Company is contingently liable for $9,900 of lease payments in the remainder of fiscal 2007 related to an office facility currently being fully subleased to an independent third party.

Results of Operations

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2006

The Company acquired SACO Technologies Inc. (renamed LSI Saco Technologies) on June 26, 2006. The operating results of LSI Saco Technologies, which reported net sales of $6.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, have been included in the fiscal 2007 results. A new business segment was created with the acquisition of LSI Saco, the Technology Segment, for which there were no results included in same period of fiscal 2006.

Net sales of $75,323,000 in third quarter fiscal 2007 increased 16.8% from fiscal 2006 third quarter net sales of $64,504,000. Lighting Segment net sales decreased 1% to $45,443,000 and Graphics Segment net sales increased 28% to $23,792,000 as compared to the same period of the prior year. The new Technology Segment reported net sales of $6,088,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Sales to the petroleum / convenience store market represented 27% and 24% of third quarter net sales in fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. Net sales to this, the Company’s largest niche market, are reported in both the Lighting and Graphics Segments, depending upon the product or service sold, and were up 29% from the same period last year to $20,041,000 as Graphics sales to this market increased significantly and Lighting sales decreased. 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 (including through the addition of the Technology Segment) more than net sales to this market, then the percentage of net sales to the petroleum / convenience store market would be expected to decline.

The $0.5 million decrease in Lighting Segment net sales is primarily the result of decreased lighting sales to our niche markets of petroleum / convenience stores, automotive dealerships, and retail national accounts (totaling a net $3.2 million decrease), partially offset by a $3.1 million or 16% increase in commissioned net sales to the commercial and industrial lighting market. The Company implemented price increases in fiscal year 2006 and August 2006 on many of its lighting products to follow general trends in the industry to recover the cost of increasing material components.

Page 21



The $5.2 million increase in Graphics Segment net sales is primarily the result of increased net sales related to two image conversion programs in the petroleum / convenience store market ($6.7 million increase), partially offset by reduced sales related to other customer programs. A significant store re-branding program for a national retailer was completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2007 and sales to this customer were slightly below last year’s sales.

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.

Gross profit of $18,474,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 increased 23% from the same period last year, and increased as a percentage of net sales to 24.5% as compared to 23.3% last year. The increase in the gross profit percentage is primarily due to the increased weighting of net sales from the more profitable Graphics and Technology Segments, with third quarter fiscal 2007 gross profit percentages of approximately 28% and 25%, respectively. The increase in amount of gross profit is due primarily to the net effects of the 17% increase in net sales (made up of a 1% decrease in the Lighting Segment, a 28% increase in the Graphics Segment, and the reporting of $6.1 million of net sales in the Technology Segment), and increased margins on installation revenue. While the Company’s fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2007 sales price increases on select lighting products improved fiscal 2007 gross profit, the following items also influenced the Company’s gross profit margin: competitive pricing pressures, and other manufacturing expenses ($0.7 million of increased wage, compensation and benefits costs; $0.1 million of increased outside services; $0.1 million of increased rent expense).

Selling and administrative expenses of $13,353,000 in the third quarter fiscal year 2007 increased $1.8 million, but decreased to 17.7% as a percentage of net sales from 17.9% last year. Employee compensation and benefits expense increased $0.8 million in fiscal 2007 as compared to last year, partially as a result of the addition of LSI Saco Technologies as well as increases in the rest of the Company. Other changes of expense between years include increased expense related to amortization of intangible assets ($0.5 million, primarily associated with the intangible assets of LSI Saco Technologies), increased research & development expense ($0.3 million), increased customer accommodations ($0.4 million), increased bad debt expense ($0.2 million), increased depreciation expense ($0.1 million), increased product warranty expense ($0.1 million), increased legal expenses ($0.1 million) and increased sales commissions ($0.1 million). These increases were partially offset by a third quarter fiscal 2007 reversal of a loss contingency reserve related to a menu board patent litigation ($0.6 million).

The Company reported net interest expense of $233,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to net interest income of $152,000 in the same period last year. The Company was in a positive cash position and was debt free for substantially all of fiscal 2006 and generated interest income on invested cash. The Company is in a borrowing position in

Page 22


fiscal 2007 primarily as a result of the LSI Saco Technologies acquisition in June 2006 as well as 2007 working capital needs. The effective tax rate in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was 32.5% reflective of Canadian tax rates and favorable tax credits as compared to 34.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2006.

Net income increased 36.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 to $3,298,000 as compared to $2,415,000 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, as well as net interest expense as compared to net interest income last year. Diluted earnings per share was $0.15 in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, as compared to $0.12 per share last year. The weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 were 21,955,000 shares as compared to 20,393,000 shares last year, increased primarily due to the 1.4 million shares issued as partial payment for the LSI Saco acquisition.
 
NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2006

The Company acquired SACO Technologies Inc. (renamed LSI Saco Technologies) on June 26, 2006. The operating results of LSI Saco Technologies, which reported net sales of $14.5 million, have been included in the fiscal 2007 results. A new business segment was created with the acquisition of LSI Saco, the Technology Segment, for which there were no results included in same period of fiscal 2006.

Net sales of $243,630,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 increased 16.7% from fiscal 2006 nine month net sales of $208,726,000. Lighting Segment net sales increased 0.1% to $145,263,000 and Graphics Segment net sales increased 32% to $83,889,000 as compared to the same period of the prior year. The new Technology Segment reported net sales of $14,478,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2007. Sales to the petroleum / convenience store market represented 24% and 25% of nine month net sales in fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. Net sales to this, the Company’s largest niche market, are reported in both the Lighting and Graphics Segments, depending upon the product or service sold, and were up 12% from the same period last year to $58,414,000 as Graphics sales to this market increased significantly and Lighting sales decreased. 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 (including through the addition of the Technology Segment) more than net sales to this market, then the percentage of net sales to the petroleum / convenience store market would be expected to decline.

The $0.2 million increase in Lighting Segment net sales is primarily the result of decreased lighting sales to our niche markets of petroleum / convenience stores, automotive dealerships, quick service restaurants and retail national accounts (net $5.2 million decrease), partially offset by a $5.8 million increase in commissioned net sales to the commercial and industrial lighting market. The Company implemented price increases in fiscal year 2006, and August 2006 on many of its lighting products to follow general trends in the industry to recover the cost of increasing material components.

The $20.2 million increase in Graphics Segment net sales is the result of increased net sales to CVS Corporation primarily for its program of re-branding stores they had purchased from another retailer ($14 million increase), as well as increased net sales related to two image conversion programs in the petroleum / convenience store market ($10.1 million increase), partially offset by reduced sales related to other customer programs. Net sales to CVS were

Page 23


approximately $24.9 million or 10% of the Company’s total net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2007.

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.

Gross profit of $63,790,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 increased 21% from the same period last year, and increased as a percentage of net sales to 26.2% as compared to 25.2% last year. The increase in the gross profit percentage is primarily due to the increased weighting of net sales from the more profitable Graphics and Technology Segments, each with nine month fiscal 2007 gross profit percentages of approximately 29%. The increase in amount of gross profit is due primarily to the net effects of the 17% increase in net sales (made up of a 0.1% increase in the Lighting Segment, a 32% increase in the Graphics Segment, and the reporting of $14.5 million of net sales in the Technology Segment). While the Company’s fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2007 sales price increases on select lighting products improved fiscal 2007 gross profit, the following items also influenced the Company’s gross profit margin: net increased manufacturing wages, incentives and benefit costs ($1.3 million), competitive pricing pressures, unabsorbed manufacturing costs in some of the Company’s facilities, and other manufacturing expenses ($0.6 million of increased outside services, $0.3 million increased rent expense, $0.2 million reduced utilities, and $0.5 million of increased supplies, maintenance and depreciation expense).

Selling and administrative expenses of $41,617,000 in the first nine months of fiscal year 2007 increased $4.4 million, but decreased to 17.1% as a percentage of net sales from 17.8% last year. The Company recorded a non-cash charge of $573,000 in fiscal 2006 related to variable accounting treatment of the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan, whereas there was no similar charge in fiscal 2007. Otherwise, employee compensation and benefits expense increased $1.2 million in fiscal 2007 as compared to last year, primarily as a result of the addition of LSI Saco Technologies. Other changes of expense between years include increased legal fees ($0.4 million, primarily associated with patent litigation), increased expense related to amortization of intangible assets ($1.4 million, primarily associated with the intangible assets of LSI Saco Technologies), increased research & development expense ($0.9 million), increased customer accommodations ($0.5 million), increased product warranty expense ($0.3 million), increased audit expenses ($0.2 million), increased sales commissions ($0.2 million on increased lighting sales), increased travel expense ($0.1 million), increased bad debt expense ($0.3 million). These increases were partially offset by a third quarter fiscal 2007 reversal of a loss contingency reserve related to a menu board patent litigation ($0.6 million).

The Company reported net interest expense of $891,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 as compared to net interest income of $324,000 in the same period last year. The Company was in a positive cash position and was debt free for substantially all of fiscal 2006 and generated interest income on invested cash. The Company is in a borrowing position in

Page 24


fiscal 2007 primarily as a result of the LSI Saco Technologies acquisition in June 2006 as well as nine month 2007 working capital needs. The effective tax rate in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 was 35.0% reflective of Canadian tax rates, favorable tax credits and an adjustment to deferred taxes, as compared to 36.4% in the first nine months of fiscal 2006.

Net income increased 38.4% in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 to $13,828,000 as compared to $9,990,000 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, as well as net interest expense as compared to net interest income last year. Diluted earnings per share was $0.63 in the first nine months of fiscal 2007, as compared to $0.49 per share last year. The weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share in the first half of fiscal 2007 were 21,927,000 shares as compared to 20,400,000 shares last year, increased primarily due the 1.4 million shares issued as partial payment for the LSI Saco acquisition.

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.

At March 31, 2007 the Company had working capital of $68.3 million, compared to $85.3 million at December 31, 2006, and $66.8 million at June 30, 2006. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.59 to 1 as compared to a ratio of 2.66 to 1 at June 30, 2006. The decrease in working capital from December 31, 2006 to March 31, 2007 relates primarily to a program in the Graphics Segment whereby the Company receives full payment in advance of any shipments (for which a current liability has been recorded for customer prepayments and the cash was used to pay down the Company’s long-term debt) as well as a seasonal pay down of accounts receivable which also resulted in a reduction of long-term debt. The increase in working capital from June 30, 2006 to March 31, 2007 was primarily related to a significant increase in inventory ($7.6 million), increased other current assets and refundable income taxes ($1.5 million), decreased accounts payable ($7.2 million), partially offset by decreased cash ($0.3 million) and decreased accounts receivable ($4.7 million), and increased accrued expenses and customer prepayments ($9.8 million).

The Company generated $19.3 million of cash from operating activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 as compared to a generation of $17.7 million in the same period last year. The $1.6 million increase in net cash flows from operating activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 is primarily the net result of a lesser increase in accounts receivable (unfavorable change of $0.9 million), a significantly larger increase in inventories (unfavorable change of $7.4 million), an increase rather than a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses (favorable change of $5.6 million), a decrease in net deferred income tax liabilities ($0.4 million unfavorable), increased depreciation and amortization (favorable $1.6 million), less expense related to the non-qualified deferred compensation plan (unfavorable $0.9 million), and more net income ($3.8 million favorable).

Net accounts receivable were $46.8 million and $51.6 million at March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively. The decrease of over $4.7 million in net receivables is primarily due to a seasonally larger amount of net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The DSO (Days’ Sales Outstanding) was 55 days at both March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2006. The Company believes that its receivables are ultimately

Page 25


collectible or recoverable, net of certain reserves, and that aggregate allowances for doubtful accounts are adequate.

Inventories at March 31, 2007 increased $7.6 million from June 30, 2006 levels. Primarily in response to customer programs and the timing of shipments, inventory increases occurred in the Lighting Segment of approximately $5.3 million (some of which supports certain graphics programs), Graphics Segment of approximately $0.9 million, Technology Segment of approximately $1.4 million since June 30, 2006. The $7.2 million decrease in accounts payable from June 30, 2006 to March 31, 2007 is primarily related to payments having been made in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 for inventory purchases of the second quarter in all Segments in support of anticipated sales and production volume.

Cash generated from operations and borrowing capacity under two line of credit facilities are the Company’s primary source of liquidity. The Company has an unsecured $50 million revolving line of credit with its bank group, with all $50 million of the credit line available as of May 1, 2007. This line of credit consists of a $30 million three year committed credit facility expiring in fiscal 2010 and a $20 million credit facility expiring in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Additionally, in January 2007 the Company established a separate $7 million annually renewable line of credit for the working capital needs of its Canadian subsidiary, LSI Saco Technologies. The Company believes that the total of available lines of credit plus cash flows from operating activities is adequate for the Company’s fiscal 2007 operational and capital expenditure needs. The Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants.

The Company used $1.6 million of cash related to investing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 as compared to a use of $12.1 million in the same period last year. The primary change between years relates to the fiscal 2007 $3.4 million of proceeds from the sale of fixed assets as two significant rental LED video screens in the Technology Segment were sold, and the fiscal 2006 purchase of $9.0 million of short-term investments. Capital expenditures of $4.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 (includes $1.4 million as the initial payment for a Salvagnini fabrication center) compared to $3.1 million in the same period last year. Spending in both periods is primarily for tooling and equipment. The Company expects fiscal 2007 capital expenditures to be in the $6 million range, exclusive of business acquisitions.

The Company used $18.0 million of cash related to financing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 as compared to a use of $7.3 million in the same period last year. The $10.7 million change between years is primarily the net result of fiscal 2007 borrowings of $9.9 million on the Company’s line of credit and fiscal 2007 payments against the line of credit of $20.0 million. Cash dividend payments of $8.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 were less than cash dividend payments of $8.8 million in the same period last year. The change between years relates to the fiscal 2005 special year-end dividend of approximately $2.0 million paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, partially offset by a higher per share dividend rate and an increased number of outstanding shares in fiscal 2007 for the regular quarterly cash dividend. Additionally, the Company experienced less cash flow from the exercise of stock options in the first half of fiscal 2007 as compared to the same period last year (unfavorable $1.2 million).

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 and has no off balance sheet arrangements.

Page 26


On April 25, 2007 the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per share (approximately $2,794,000) payable May 15, 2007 to shareholders of record on May 8, 2007. 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, Graphics or Technology 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.

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 in accordance with EITF 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” 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 or post-shipment service and maintenance of certain solid state LED video screens or billboards, 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 responsibilities, other than normal warranties. Service revenue from integrated design, project and construction management, and site

Page 27



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. Post-shipment service and maintenance revenue, if applicable, related to solid state LED video screens or billboards is recognized according to terms of each individual service agreement. 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 (SFAS) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes;” 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.

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.

As of March 31, 2007 the Company had recorded a deferred New York state income tax asset in the amount of $816,000 related to the approximate $17.1 million state net operating loss carryover generated by the Company’s LSI Lightron subsidiary. Additionally, as of March 31, 2007 the Company had recorded a deferred New York state income tax asset in the amount of $790,000, net of federal tax benefits, related to non-refundable state tax credits. The Company has determined that a valuation reserve of $622,000 against certain state deferred tax assets is required as of March 31, 2007 because the Company has determined in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS No. 109) that these assets will, more likely than not, not be realized. The Company will continue to monitor the operations of this subsidiary to evaluate any potential need to change this valuation reserve.

Equity Compensation

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” effective July 1, 2005. SFAS No. 123(R) requires public entities to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments and recognize this cost over the period during which an employee is required to provide the services.

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.” 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 significant management judgment with respect to revenue and expense growth rates,

Page 28


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. The Company’s annual analysis and test for impairment of goodwill was conducted as of July 1, 2006. There were no impairment charges related to goodwill recorded by the Company during 2007 or 2006.

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.” 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 2007 or 2006.

Credit and Collections

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts receivable for probable 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 July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, classification and disclosure of the financial statement effects of a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return (“tax position”). The financial statement effects of a tax position must be recognized when there is a likelihood of more than 50 percent that based on the technical merits, the position will be sustained upon examination and resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the recognition threshold must be measured initially and subsequently as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of

Page 29


being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. In addition, FIN 48 specifies certain annual disclosures that are required to be made once the interpretation has taken effect. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The cumulative effect of FIN 48 adoption will be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at July 1, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48, and cannot currently estimate the impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, or the Company’s fiscal year 2009. The Company will be evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157, and cannot currently estimate the impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans.” This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. This Statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The effective date to initially recognize the funded status and to provide the required disclosures is for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006, or the Company’s fiscal year 2007. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008, or the Company’s fiscal year 2009. The Company will be evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 158 and cannot currently estimate the impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of the pronouncement is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, or in the Company’s case, July 1, 2008. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 and cannot currently estimate the impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
