EXPLANATORY NOTE Richardson Electronics, Ltd. (the "Company") is filing this amendment to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended August 28, 2004, originally filed October 5, 2004, to reflect certain adjustments to restate the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. In connection with the Company's independent registered public accounting firm's review of the Company's Form 10-Q for the third quarter of fiscal 2005, an error in the application of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation, was identified that related to the foreign currency translation on intercompany indebtedness with its subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2002 and 2003, selected quarterly financial data for fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2004, and the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three- and six-month periods ended August 28, 2004 and November 27, 2004 have been restated to correct this error. The restatement changed net income for the first three months of fiscal 2005 and 2004 from $1,249,000 and $392,000 to net income of $807,000 and net loss of $1,182,000, respectively. Balance Sheet accounts including deferred tax assets of $6,984,000, other assets of $4,417,000, retained earnings of $10,477,000, and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of ($11,932,000), all as previously reported, have been restated to $10,871,000, $4,638,000, $4,117,000, and ($1,464,000), respectively. This Form 10-Q/A contains changes of Item I - Financial Statements, and Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations to reflect this restatement. This amendment to the original Form 10-Q amends and restates the original Form 10-Q in its entirety, but does not reflect events occurring after the original filing of the Form 10-Q. All information contained in this amendment and the original Form 10-Q is subject to updating and supplementing as provided in the periodic reports filed subsequent to the original filing date with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The filing of this Form 10-Q/A shall not be deemed an admission that the original filing, when made, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make a statement therein not misleading.

RICHARDSON ELECTRONICS, LTD NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands, except per share amounts and except where indicated)

Note A – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Statements) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of interim periods have been made and such adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations and cash flows for the three-month period ended August 28, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended May 28, 2005. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended May 29, 2004. Certain fiscal 2004 balances have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation.

Note B – Restatement

In the second quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company identified an accounting error in a foreign subsidiary which affected previously reported interest expense for seven quarters beginning with the third quarter of fiscal 2002 and ending with the first quarter of fiscal 2004. The error, which aggregated to $738, was corrected by a restatement of these prior periods. The restatement decreased net income $113.9 for the first quarter of fiscal 2004, and decreased diluted earnings per share to $0.03 versus the $0.04 previously reported. The Company filed Form 10-Q/A for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 on January 30, 2004 to reflect these changes. In connection with the Company's independent registered public accounting firm's review of the Company's Form 10-Q for the third quarter of fiscal 2005, an error was identified that occurred in the application of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation, on intercompany indebtedness with its subsidiaries, which affected previously reported currency translation. The consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2002 and 2003, selected quarterly financial data for fiscal 2003 and 2004, and the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three- and six-month periods ended August 28, 2004 and November 27, 2004 have been restated to correct this error. A reconciliation of reported net income to restated net income (loss), including the additional interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 and the impact of the currency translation adjustment for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and 2004, is provided in the following table:

First Quarter — FY 2005 FY 2004
Previously reported net income with additional interest expense $ 1,249 $ 392
Currency Translation Adjustment (442 ) (1,574 )
Restated net income (loss) $ 807 $ (1,182 )
Previously reported basic and diluted net income per share $ 0.08 $ 0.03
Currency Translation Adjustment (0.03 ) (0.11 )
Restated basic and diluted net income (loss) per share $ 0.05 $ (0.08 )

A reconciliation of reported condensed consolidated balance sheets to restated assets and stockholders' equity is provided in the following table. The cumulative adjustment represents the effect of the restatement through and including May 29, 2004.

Deferred tax assets (non-current) August 28, 2004 As Reported — $ 6,984 3,607 280 August 28, 2004 As Restated — $ 10,871
Other assets $ 4,417 122 99 $ 4,638
Retained earnings $ 10,477 (5,918 ) (442 ) $ 4,117
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) $ (11,932 ) 9,632 836 $ (1,464 )

Note C - Investment in Marketable Equity Securities

The Company’s investments are primarily equity securities, all of which are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at their fair value based on the quoted market prices. Proceeds from the sale of the securities were $144 and $1,387 during the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively, all of which were subsequently reinvested. Gross realized gains on those sales were $22 in the first three months of fiscal 2005 and $82 in the first three months of fiscal 2004. Gross realized losses on those sales were $17 and $22 in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. Net unrealized holding gain of $447 and net unrealized holding loss of $454 have been included in accumulated comprehensive income for fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. The following table is the disclosure under SFAS No. 115 for the investment in marketable equity securities:

Description of — Securities Holding length before proceeds — Less than 12 months More than 12 months
Period ended on Fair Value Unrealized losses Fair Value Unrealized losses Fair Value Unrealized losses
August 28, 2004
Common Stock $ 2,052 $ 212 $ 497 $ 12 $ 2,549 $ 224
August 30, 2003
Common Stock $ 1,125 $ 157 $ 703 $ 421 $ 1,828 $ 578

Note D – Restructuring Charges

As a result of the Company’s fiscal 2003 restructuring initiative, a restructuring charge, including severance and lease termination costs of $1,730, was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended May 31, 2003. Severance costs of $328 were paid in fiscal 2003 with the remaining balance payable in fiscal 2004. As of May 28, 2004, the remaining balance was zero. The following table depicts the amounts associated with the activity related to the restructuring initiative through August 30, 2003:

Restructuring — liability through Reversal balance as of
May 31, 2003 August 30, 2003 of accrual August 30, 2003
Employee severance and related costs $ 1,192 $ 634 $ - $ 558
Lease termination costs 210 - 210 -
Total $ 1,402 $ 634 $ 210 $ 558

All employees originally notified were terminated. The lease termination did not occur as the agreement for the replacement facility was not finalized. The lease termination reversal was recorded in the quarter ended August 30, 2003.

Note E – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company performed its annual impairment test during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. The same methodology was employed in completing the annual impairment test as in applying transitional accounting provisions of SFAS 142. The Company did not find any indication that additional impairment existed and, therefore, no additional impairment loss was recorded as a result of completing the annual impairment test. The table below provides changes in the carrying values of goodwill and intangible assets not subject to amortization by reportable segment:

RFWC IPG SSD DSG Total
Balance at May 29, 2004 $ - $ 885 $ 1,730 $ 3,420 $ 6,035
Modification of earnout payment - - - 26 26
Foreign currency translation - (11 ) 76 - 65
Balance at August 28, 2004 $ - $ 874 $ 1,806 $ 3,446 $ 6,126

Intangible assets subject to amortization as of August 28, 2004 and May 29, 2004 are as follows:

August 28, 2004 — Gross Accumulated May 29, 2004 — Gross Accumulated
Amount Amortization Amount Amortization
Intangible assets subject to amortization:
Deferred financing costs $ 2,193 $ 1,977 $ 2,192 $ 1,935
Patents, trademarks and customer lists 478 464 478 461
Total $ 2,671 $ 2,441 $ 2,670 $ 2,396

Amortization expense for the first quarter is as follows:

Amortization expense for the
First Quarter

Intangible assets subject to amortization:
Deferred financing costs $ 42 $ 72
Patents and trademarks 3 3

Table of Contents

The amortization expense associated with the existing intangible assets subject to amortization is expected to be $136, $70, $21 and $1, in fiscal 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008, respectively. The weighted average number of years of amortization expense remaining is 1.7.

Note F – Warranties

The Company offers warranties for specific products it manufactures. The Company also provides extended warranties for some products it sells that lengthen the period of coverage specified in the manufacturer’s original warranty. Terms generally range from one to three years. The Company estimates the cost to perform under its warranty obligation and recognizes this estimated cost at the time of the related product sale. The Company reports this expense as an element of cost of products sold in its statement of operations. Each quarter, the Company assesses actual warranty costs incurred, on a product-by-product basis, as compared to its estimated obligation. The estimates with respect to new products are based generally on knowledge of the manufacturers’ experience and are extrapolated to reflect the extended warranty period, and are refined each quarter as better information with respect to warranty experience becomes known. Warranty reserves are established for costs that are expected to be incurred after the sale and delivery of products under warranty. The warranty reserves are determined based on known product failures, historical experience, and other currently available evidence. Changes in the warranty reserve for the three months ended August 28, 2004 were as follows:

Reserve
Balance at May 29, 2004 $ 802
Accruals for products sold 187
Utilization (45 )
Balance at August 28, 2004 $ 944

The increase in the warranty accrual represents warranties related to a new product offering by the Company’s Display Systems Group beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2003.

Note G – Income Taxes

The income tax provisions for the three-month period ended August 28, 2004 and August 30, 2003 were 28.5% and 36.5%, respectively. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily results from the Company’s geographic distribution of taxable income and losses and certain non-tax deductible charges.

Note H – Calculation of Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of Common and Class B Common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income, adjusted for interest savings, net of tax, on assumed bond conversions, by the actual shares outstanding and share equivalents that would arise from the exercise of stock options, certain restricted stock awards and the assumed conversion of convertible bonds when dilutive. The Company’s 8¼% and 7¼% convertible debentures are excluded from the calculation in both fiscal 2005 and 2004, as assumed conversion and effect of interest savings would be anti-dilutive. The per share amounts presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are based on the following amounts:

First Quarter — FY 2005 FY 2004
(as restated) (as restated)
Numerator for basic and diluted EPS:
Net income (loss) $ 807 $ (1,182 )
Denominator:
Denominator for basic EPS
Weighted average common shares outstanding 15,872 13,925
Effect of dilutive securities:
Unvested restricted stock awards 21 -
Dilutive stock options 231 -
Shares applicable to diluted income (loss) per common share 16,124 13,925

The effect of potentially dilutive stock options is calculated using the treasury stock method. Certain stock options are excluded from the calculations because the average market price of the Company’s stock during the period did not exceed the exercise price of those options. For the three-month period ended August 28, 2004, there were 634 such options. However, some or all of the above mentioned options may be potentially dilutive in the future.

Note I – Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has stock-based compensation plans under which stock options are granted to key managers at the market price of the common stock on the date of grant. Most of these new grants are fully exercisable after five years and have a ten-year life. Two such grants were issued during the three months ended August 28, 2004.

Table of Contents

The Company applies the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees , and related interpretations including FASB interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of APB Opinion 25, issued in March 2000, to account for its stock options. Under this method, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation , established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As allowed by SFAS No.123, the Company has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic value-based method of accounting described above, and has adopted only the disclosure requirements of SFAS No.123. The following table illustrates the pro-forma effect on net income attributable to common stockholders if the fair value-based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards and option grants in each period.

First Quarter — FY 2005 FY 2004
(as restated) (as restated)

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (in thousands, except per share amounts and except where indicated)

First Quarter Overview

In the quarter ended August 28, 2004, the Company posted sales of $138.5 million, which marked a record fiscal first quarter sales level for the Company and marked the ninth consecutive quarter of year-over-year sales growth. Net income for the quarter was $807 or $0.05 per share compared to a net loss of $1,182 or $0.08 per share a year ago. The 16.1% increase in sales was partially offset by a 16.3% increase in cost of products sold and a 13.3% increase in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses from the prior year. However, SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales represented 21.1% in the quarter compared to 21.7% a year ago. During the quarter, the Company received $27.9 million in proceeds from its equity offering that was used to reduce debt. The Company reduced debt by $18.8 million while cash decreased $4.2 million and working capital requirements increased $13.2 million after excluding cash, currency translation, acquisition, income tax, and short term debt. The Company experiences moderate seasonality in its business and typically realizes lower sequential sales in its first and third quarters, reflecting decreased transaction volume in the summer and holiday months. Based on the period from fiscal 1993 to 2004, sales in the first quarter were approximately 4% to 5% lower than the fourth quarter of the prior year. In fiscal 2005, the Company posted a 4.7% sequential first quarter sales decrease.

Results of Operations

Sales and Gross Margins

Consolidated sales for the first quarter ended August 28, 2004 increased $19.2 million or 16.1% from the prior year to $138.5 million, which marked a record fiscal first quarter sales level for the Company. Consolidated gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased 10 basis points from the prior year. Sales, percentage changes from the prior year, gross margins and gross margin percent of sales by SBU are summarized in the following table. Freight, Logistics business, and miscellaneous costs are included under the caption “Other.”

RFWC had a strong quarter with sales increasing 29.3% to $64.4 million from the prior year. The large sales growth was driven by strength in the Passive/Interconnect, Network Access, and Infrastructure product lines with an increase of 72.2%, 31.8%, and 17.2% to $15.1, $24.7, and $17.5 million, respectively. The growth of higher margin Network Access product line led RWFC’s gross margin as a percentage of sales increase of 40 basis points to $14.7 million. IPG sales increased 14.7% to $29.6 million from last year. The solid state Power Components product lines posted solid gains of 46.1% to $10.4 million. IPG gross margins as a percentage of sales increased 100 basis points to $9.1 million, due to a favorable product mix of tube sales. SSD sales increased 2.3% to $25.8 million compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2004. SSD’s private label sales increased 6.3% to $7.0 million. Gross margins as a percentage of sales decreased 10 basis points to $6.5 million. DSG’s first quarter sales increased 5.6% to $17.0 million from a year ago, driven by increased demand in workstations and high-resolution flat panel monitors for the medical market. The Medical Monitors product line posted growth of 12.4% to $7.2 million. DSG’s gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased 220 basis points, primarily due to pricing pressure in Medical Monitors. Sales, percentage change from the prior year, gross margin, and gross margin percent of sales by geographic area are summarized in the following table. Previously reported sales under the caption “Direct Export” and some of the “Corporate” sales were identified by geographic area and reclassified accordingly. The caption “Corporate” consists primarily of Freight and Corporate provisions.

Sales in North America increased by 13.7% from the prior year's first quarter. Sales in the United States experienced strong growth in the RFWC product sales. The United States led the sales growth in this region by an increase of 19.7% to $57.2 million, offset by a sales decline in Canada of 2.6% to $17.2 million. Sales in Europe grew 16.4% from the prior year. RFWC product sales significantly increased in Israel and the United Kingdom. Israel led the sales growth with an increase of 60.0% to $3.2 million followed by the United Kingdom and then Italy where sales grew 38.2% and 24.4% to $5.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively. Sales in Asia/Pacific experienced growth of 28.9%, from the first quarter a year ago, resulting from strong wireless infrastructure and industrial power demand. China, Japan, and Taiwan recognized sales and gross margin growth of over 50%. Sales in China grew 81.1% to $8.5 million, sales in Japan grew 69.7% to $4.6 million, and sales in Taiwan grew 62.3% to $2.7 million. In Latin America, sales decreased 4.7%, from the prior year, as lower broadcast demand was partially offset by increased industrial power demand. Sales in Colombia grew 43.6% to $0.9 million while sales in Mexico were down 23.2% to $1.4 million. Fiscal 2005 gross margins as a percentage of sales experienced significant fluctuations across the geographic areas, from a decrease of 120 basis points in North America to an increase of 340 basis points in Latin America, principally resulting from changes in the sales mix.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses

SG&A expenses increased by 13.3% to $29.3 million compared to last year, but decreased as a percentage of sales to last year, from 21.7% to 21.1% . The increased SG&A expenses correlate with the Company's increased revenue. SG&A expenses include a $2.0 million increase in salaries and incentives and a $1 million increase in operating expenses related to services, travel, and supplies, which corresponds with increased sales.

Interest and Other Expenses

Interest expense decreased 11.4% to $2.3 million from last year as a result of the equity offering and elimination of a fixed rate swap offset by interest on incremental borrowing to fund working capital requirements. Cash payments for interest were $3.6 million for the three-month period ended August 28, 2004. Other, net expenses totalled $928 in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, including a foreign exchange loss of $901, and a net investment loss of $51. Other, net expenses totalled $2,585 in the first quarter of fiscal 2004, including a foreign exchange loss of $2,180, a loss of $250 on fixed asset disposition, and a net investment loss of $110. During the second quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company identified an accounting error that occurred in its Swedish subsidiary which affected interest expense previously reported for the prior seven quarters in the aggregate amount of $738. On January 30, 2004, the Company filed amended Form 10-K/A for fiscal 2003 and Form 10-Q/A for the period ended August 30, 2003, which increased interest expense reported in those periods (See Note B). In connection with the Company's independent registered public accounting firm's review of the Company's Form 10-Q for the third quarter of fiscal 2005, an error in the application of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation, was identified that related to the foreign currency translation on intercompany indebtedness with its subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2002 and 2003, selected quarterly financial data for fiscal 2003 and 2004, and the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three- and six month periods ended August 28, 2004 and November 27, 2004 have been restated to correct this error (See Note B). The restatement increased other expense by $713 and $2,538 for the three-month periods of fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Income Tax Provision

The effective tax rate for the three-month period of fiscal 2005 decreased to 28.5% compared to 36.5% from a year ago. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to the impact of certain non-tax deductible charges, the Company's foreign sales corporation benefits on export sales, state taxes, and the tax impact of non-U.S. operations. As the Company restated its first quarter fiscal 2004 results because of the accounting error in its Swedish subsidiary associated with the interest expense, no adjustment was made to the income tax provision since the Company does not believe it is more likely than not that the benefits of the foreign losses will be realized. As a result, there were significant fluctuations in the income tax rate in the first half of fiscal 2004. The restatement described above served to decrease income tax expense by $271 and $964 for the three-month periods of fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. Future effective tax rates could be adversely affected by lower than anticipated earnings in countries where the Company has lower statutory rates, changes in the valuation of certain deferred tax assets or liabilities, or changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof. In addition, the Company is subject to the examination of its income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities and regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes.

Net Income

Net income increased substantially from the prior year by 168.3%. The positive increase resulted from the Company's emphasis on growth with cost minimization. Net income for the first quarter was $807, or $0.05 per share, compared to net loss of $1,182, or $0.08 per share, a year ago.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $12.8 million at August 28, 2004, a decrease of $4.2 million from the beginning of the fiscal year. During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company used $9.6 million of cash in operating activities. Working capital requirements increased $13.2 million after excluding cash, currency translation, acquisition, income tax, and short term debt, primarily resulting from an increase of $10.6 million in inventory. Inventory days were approximately 89 in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, compared with 94 days in the first quarter of fiscal 2004 and 77 days at the end of fiscal 2004. Inventory levels and the associated inventory days reflect the Company's ongoing inventory management efforts. Inventory management remains an area of focus as the Company seeks to balance the need to maintain strategic inventory levels to ensure competitive lead times against the risk of inventory obsolescence because of rapidly changing technology and customer requirements.

Table of Contents

The Company has a multi-currency revolving credit agreement in the amount of $102.0 million that matures in September of 2005 and bears interest at applicable LIBOR rates plus a margin, varying with certain financial performance criteria. At August 28, 2004, the applicable margin was 200 basis points and $48.4 million was outstanding. Of the $53.6 million which was unborrowed under the total facility, $36.1 million was available due to the borrowing base limitations. As of September 30, 2004, the outstanding borrowings under the credit agreement have become current liabilities. The Company is in discussions with its lending group and expects a renewed long-term agreement will occur in the second fiscal quarter of 2005. During the quarter, the Company had an equity offering for 3 million shares of stock that contributed $27.9 million in proceeds that was used to reduce debt. The Company reduced debt by $18.8 million while cash decreased $4.2 million and working capital requirements increased $13.2 million after excluding cash, currency translation, acquisition, income tax, and short term debt. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants for the period ended August 28, 2004. The Company spent approximately $2.3 million on capital projects during first three months of fiscal 2005, primarily related to PeopleSoft development costs and ongoing investments in information technology infrastructure. Management estimates capital expenditures to increase as the PeopleSoft implementation progresses. The $545 earnout payment represents a cash outlay associated with the Pixelink acquisition as the business unit achieved certain operating performance criteria.

Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this quarter report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements relating to future events, which involve certain risks and uncertainties. Further, there can be no assurance that the trends reflected in historical information will continue in the future. Investors should consider carefully the following risk factors, in addition to the other information included and incorporated by reference in this quarter report on Form 10-Q. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report are statements that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The words "expect," "estimate," "anticipate," "predict," "believe" and similar expressions and variations thereof are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements appear in a number of places in this report and include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company, its directors or its officers with respect to, among other things: (i) trends affecting the Company’s financial condition or results of operations; (ii) the Company’s financing plans; (iii) the Company’s business and growth strategies, including potential acquisitions; and (iv) other plans and objectives for future operations. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties and that actual results may differ materially from those predicted in the forward-looking statements or which may be anticipated from historical results or trends. In addition to the information contained in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, factors that could affect future performance include, among others, the following:

- The Company has had significant operating and net losses in the past and may have future losses.
- The Company maintains a significant investment in inventory and has recently incurred significant charges for inventory obsolescence and overstock, and may incur similar charges in the future.
- If the Company does not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, it could be unable to provide timely and reliable financial information.
- Because the Company derives a significant portion of its revenue by distributing products designed and manufactured by third parties, it may be unable to anticipate changes in the marketplace and, as a result, could lose market share.
- The Company has exposure to economic downturns and operates in cyclical markets.
- The Company has significant debt, which could limit its financial resources and ability to compete and may make it more vulnerable to adverse economic events.
- The Company’s ability to service its debt and meet its other obligations depends on a number of factors beyond its control.
- If Mr. Richardson’s voting power were insufficient for him to elect a majority of the Company’s board of directors, the Company would be in default under its credit agreement.
- The Company’s success depends on its executive officers and other key personnel.
- The Company’s credit agreement and the indentures for its outstanding debentures impose restrictions with respect to various business matters.
- Potential changes in accounting standards regarding stock option plans could limit the desirability of granting stock options, which could harm the Company’s ability to attract and retain employees, and could also negatively impact its results of operations.
- The Company faces intense competition in the markets it serves and, if it does not compete effectively, it could significantly harm its operating results.
- The Company may not be able to continue to make the acquisitions necessary for it to realize its growth strategy or integrate acquisitions successfully.
- If the Company does not continue to reduce its costs, it may not be able to compete effectively in its markets.
- The Company’s Industrial Power Group is dependent on a limited number of vendors to supply it with essential products.
- Economic, political and other risks associated with international sales and operations could adversely affect the Company’s business.
- The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk.
- Because the Company generally does not have long-term contracts with its vendors, it may experience shortages of products that could harm its business and customer relationships.
- The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, or any other disease epidemic, may adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

For more discussion of such risks, see "Risk Factors" in the Company’s Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 16, 2005. These risks are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report may include additional factors, which could adversely affect the Company’s business and financial performance. Moreover, the Company operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on the Company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. Investors should also be aware that while the Company does, from time to time, communicate with securities analysts, it is against the Company’s policy to disclose to them any material non-public information or other confidential commercial information. Accordingly, stockholders should not assume that the Company agrees with any statement or report issued by any analyst irrespective of the content of the statement or report. Thus, to the extent that reports issued by securities analysts contain any projections, forecasts or opinions, such reports are not the responsibility of the Company.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

For a description of the Company’s market risks, see “Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Risk Management and Market Sensitive Financial Instruments” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended May 29, 2004.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only a reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing a reasonable assurance of achieving their objective. During the fiscal third quarter the Company's independent auditors reported to management and to the audit committee on certain matters involving internal controls that they considered to be material weaknesses. As communicated by the Company's independent auditors, these internal controls related to (i) inappropriate application of certain provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation, affecting previously issued consolidated financial statements and (ii) the origination and maintenance of contemporaneous documentation of the factual support or key judgments made in connection with the execution of several legal documents that represented important accounting events. The misapplication affected reported currency translation in previously issued consolidated financial statements for fiscal years ending 2002 and 2003, the four quarters of fiscal 2004 and the first two quarters of fiscal 2005. During fiscal 2005, the Company has made significant progress on remediating the material weaknesses previously described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended May 29, 2004, including implementation of the following measures:

- The Company developed formal procedures for financial statement variance analysis and balance sheet reconciliations. The monthly closing schedule was formally communicated to all subsidiaries. The procedures were put in place during the second quarter of fiscal 2005 and are currently being tested as part of the Sarbanes-Oxley assessment process this fiscal year.
- The Company improved documentation of management review and reconciliation performance through policies, education and re-enforcement, a balance sheet listing of account owners and approvers, and the implementation of Financial Services Manager, Accounting Manager, Corporate Controller and CFO checklists. These measures were put in place during the second and third quarters of fiscal 2005 and will be tested as part of the Sarbanes-Oxley assessment process this fiscal year.
- Improvements to the reconciliation process during the migration from local accounting systems to PeopleSoft financials have been made and are expected to continue throughout fiscal 2005 in conjunction with the Company's Sarbanes-Oxely compliance plan.
- The Information Systems group is in the process of installing several software packages which the Company believes will remediate the internal control issues regarding change management and system monitoring. These remediation efforts are expected to be completed before the end of fiscal 2005 in conjunction with the Company's Sarbanes-Oxley compliance plan.

Except as noted above, there have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
