EXPLANATORY NOTE (Amendment No. 1)

Richardson Electronics, Ltd. (the Company) is filing this first amendment to its Form 10-Q for the three month period ended September 3, 2005, which was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on October 11, 2005, to amend and restate its condensed consolidated financial statements and other financial information for the Companys three month periods ended September 3, 2005 and August 28, 2004.

On April 4, 2006, the Company concluded that its previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements, including those for its three month periods ended September 3, 2005 and August 28, 2004, should not be relied upon as a result of errors discovered by the Company in the accounts of an Italian subsidiary, RES S.r.l. (Ingenium). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month periods ended September 3, 2005 and August 28, 2004, included herein, have been restated to correct these errors and certain other errors (see Note B of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements). The restatement changed net income for the three months ended September 3, 2005 from $1,562,000 to $1,820,000, and the net income for the three months ended August 28, 2004 from $807,000 to $904,000.

For the convenience of the reader, this Form 10-Q/A sets forth the original Form 10-Q in its entirety and no attempt has been made in this Form 10-Q/A to modify or update the disclosures in the original Form 10-Q except as required to reflect the effects of the restatement described in Note B to the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements and to amend certain disclosures in response to comments received from the SEC staff arising from their review of the Companys filings on Form S-1 as filed on February 7, 2006 since the date of the filing of the original Form 10-Q. Except as otherwise noted herein, this Form 10-Q/A continues to describe conditions of the Company as of the date of the Form 10-Q, and the disclosures contained herein have not been updated to reflect events, results or developments that occurred after the original Form 10-Q, or to modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events. Among other things, forward-looking statements made in the original Form 10-Q have not been revised to reflect events, results or developments that occurred or facts that became known to the Company after the date of the original Form 10-Q (other than those directly affected by the restatement), and such forward-looking statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the original Form 10-Q.

Part I Item 1 (Financial Statements), and Part I Item 2 (Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) have been amended from the original Form 10-Q as a result of the restatement and the SECs comments resulting from its periodic review of the Companys filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 since the date of the original Form 10-Q.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

(in thousands, except per share amounts and except where indicated)

Note A Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-K. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by United States 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 September 3, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended June 3, 2006.

The Companys fiscal quarter ends on the Saturday nearest the end of the quarter ending month. The first quarter of fiscal 2006 contains 14 weeks, and the first quarter of fiscal 2005 contains 13 weeks.

The financial information contained in this report should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No.2) (10-K/A) for the fiscal year ended May 28, 2005. Certain amounts in prior periods financial statements and related notes have been reclassified to conform with the fiscal 2006 presentation. Customer cash discounts were reclassified from selling, general and administrative expenses to net sales. The reclassifications had no impact on net income or stockholders equity for any reportable period presented.

Note B Restatement

On April 4, 2006, the Company concluded that its previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements, including those for its three month periods ended September 3, 2005 and August 28, 2004, should not be relied upon as a result of errors discovered by the Company in the accounts of an Italian subsidiary, RES S.r.l. (Ingenium). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three month periods ended September 3, 2005 and August 28, 2004 have been amended and restated to correct these errors. In addition, the Company has amended and restated the three month periods ended September 3, 2005 and August 28, 2004 condensed consolidated financial statements for certain other errors. The following table summarizes the effects of the restatement adjustments as described above on net income:

	First Quarter — FY 2006	FY 2005
Net income as previously reported	$ 1,562	$	807
Increased (decreased) income:
Ingenium adjustments	(338	)	156

Note C Investment in Marketable Equity Securities

The Companys 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 $401 and $144 during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005, respectively, all of which were subsequently reinvested. Gross realized gains on those sales were $51 and $22 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively. Gross realized losses on those sales were $1 and $17 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively. Net unrealized holding losses of $68 and net unrealized holding gains of $119 have been included in accumulated comprehensive income (loss) for fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The following table is the disclosure under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securitie s , for the investment in marketable equity securities with fair values less than cost basis:

	Marketable Security Holding Length — Less Than 12 Months		More Than 12 Months		Total
Description of Securities	Fair Value	Unrealized Losses	Fair Value	Unrealized Losses	Fair Value	Unrealized Losses
September 3, 2005
Common Stock	$ 737	$ 97	$ 192	$ 11	$ 929	$ 108

Note D Assets Held for Sale

On August 4, 2005, the Company entered into a contract to sell approximately 1.5 acres of real estate and a building located in Geneva, Illinois for $3,000. The contract is subject to a number of conditions, including inspections, environmental testing, and other customary conditions. Although the sale of the real estate and building is expected to close within one year from the date of the agreement, the Company cannot give any assurance as to the timing or successful completion of the transaction.

Note E Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company performed its annual impairment test during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. The same methodology was employed in completing the annual impairment test as in applying transitional accounting provisions of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets . 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 carrying value of goodwill by reportable segment which includes RF & Wireless Communications Group (RFWC), Industrial Power Group (IPG), Security Systems Division (SSD), and Display Systems Group (DSG):

	Goodwill
	Reportable Segments
	RFWC	IPG	SSD	DSG	Total

Balance at September 3, 2005	$	$ 1,129	$ 1,688	$ 10,044	$ 12,861

The addition to goodwill in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 represents the acquisition of A.C.T. Kern GmbH & Co. KG (Kern) located in Germany, effective June 1, 2005. The cash outlay for Kern was $6,524, net of cash acquired. Kern is one of the leading display technology companies in Europe with world wide customers in manufacturing, OEM, medicine, multimedia, IT trading, system houses, and other industries.

The following table provides changes in carrying value of other intangible assets not subject to amortization:

Foreign currency translation			20		20
Balance at September 3, 2005	$	$ 9	$ 298	$	$ 307

Intangible assets subject to amortization, as well as amortization expense are as follows:

	Intangible Assets Subject to Amortization — September 3, 2005		May 28, 2005
	Gross Amounts	Accumulated Amortization	Gross Amounts	Accumulated Amortization
	(restated)	(restated)

Deferred financing costs	3,243	2,286	2,968	2,241
Patents and trademarks	558	528	554	523
Total	$ 3,909	$ 2,814	$ 3,522	$ 2,764

Table of Contents

Deferred financing costs increased during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 due to the amendment of the Companys multi-currency revolving credit agreement executed on August 24, 2005.

Amortization expense for the three-month periods ended September 3, 2005 and August 28, 2004 is as follows:

	Amortization Expense for First Quarter — FY 2006	FY 2005
Deferred financing costs	$ 45	$ 42
Patents and trademarks	1	3
Total	$ 46	$ 45

The amortization expense associated with the intangible assets subject to amortization is expected to be $204, $201, $201, $201, $113, $53, and $29 in fiscal 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively. The weighted average number of years of amortization expense remaining is 5.02.

Note F Restructuring Charges

As a result of the Companys fiscal 2005 restructuring initiative, a restructuring charge, including severance and lease termination costs of $2,152, was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, the employee severance and related costs were adjusted resulting in a $183 decrease in SG&A due to the difference between estimated severance costs and the actual payouts. Severance costs of $1,108 were paid in fiscal 2005. During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, severance costs of $342 were paid. The remaining balance payable during fiscal 2006 has been included in accrued liabilities. Terminations affected over 60 employees across various business functions, operating units, and geographic regions. As of September 3, 2005, the following table depicts the amounts associated with the activity related to restructuring by reportable segment:

Fiscal 2006	Restructuring Liability May 28, 2005	For the three months ended September 3, 2005 — Reserve Recorded	Payment		Adjustment to Reserve	Restructuring Liability September 3, 2005

Note G 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 manufacturers 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 sales in its Condensed Consolidated Statements 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 products, 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 September 3, 2005 were as follows:

Balance at May 28, 2005	Warranty Reserve — $ 1,439
Accruals for products sold	352
Utilization	(144	)
Balance at September 3, 2005	$ 1,647

The increase in the warranty accrual represents warranties primarily related to products covered under a three year warranty offered by the Companys Display Systems Group.

Note H - Debt

Long-term debt consists of the following:

8¼% convertible debentures, due June 2006	September 3, 2005 — $ 17,538	$	17,538
7¼% convertible debentures, due December 2006	4,753		4,753
7¾% convertible notes, due December 2011	44,683		44,683
Floating-rate multi-currency revolving credit agreement, due October 2009 (4.76% at September 3, 2005)	54,334		53,314
Other	1,189		45
Total debt	122,497		120,333
Less: current portion	(23,451	)	(22,305	)
Long-term debt	$ 99,046	$	98,028

At September 3, 2005, the Company maintained $99,046 in long-term debt, primarily in the form of one issuance of convertible notes and a multi-currency credit agreement. The Company maintains two issuances of convertible debentures in short-term debt at September 3, 2005 in the amount of $17,538 and $4,753 for the 8¼% convertible senior subordinated debentures (8¼% debentures) and the 7¼% convertible subordinated debentures (7¼% debentures), respectively. This short-term classification resulted from the amended and restated credit agreement requiring the 8¼% and 7¼% debentures to be refinanced prior to February 28, 2006. On August 24, 2005, the Company executed an amendment to the amended and restated credit agreement which extended the refinancing requirement for the 8¼% and 7¼% debentures to June 10, 2006.

In October 2004, the Companys multi-currency revolving credit agreement is in the amount of approximately $109,000 (the size of the credit line varies based on fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates). The agreement expires in October 2009, and the outstanding balance at that time will become due. At September 3, 2005, $54,334 was outstanding under the amended and restated credit agreement. The amended and restated credit agreement is principally secured by the Companys trade receivables and inventory. The amended and restated credit agreement bears interest at applicable LIBOR rates plus a margin, varying with certain financial performance criteria. At September 3, 2005, the applicable margin was 2.25%. Outstanding letters of credit were $1,643 at September 3, 2005, leaving an unused line of $54,231 under the total amended and restated credit agreement; however, this amount was reduced to $1,161 due to maximum permitted leverage ratios. The commitment fee related to the amended and restated credit agreement is 0.25% per annum payable quarterly on the average daily unused portion of the aggregate commitment. The Companys amended and restated credit agreement consists of the following facilities as of September 3, 2005:

	Capacity	Amount Outstanding	Interest Rate
US Facility	$ 70,000	$ 23,100	5.53 %
Canada Facility	14,367	8,800	4.25 %
Sweden Facility	8,614	8,614	3.45 %
UK Facility	8,249	5,866	6.37 %
Euro Facility	6,247	6,133	3.86 %
Japan Facility	2,731	1,821	1.85 %
Total	$ 110,208	$ 54,334	4.78 %

Note: Due to maximum permitted leverage ratios, the amount of the unused line cannot be calculated on a facility-by-facility basis.

On August 24, 2005, the Company executed an amendment to the amended and restated credit agreement. The amendment changed the maximum permitted leverage ratios and the minimum required fixed charge coverage ratios for each of the first three quarters of fiscal 2006 to provide the Company additional flexibility for these periods. In addition, the amendment also provides that the Company will maintain excess availability on the borrowing base of not less than $23,000 until June 30, 2006 if a default or event of default does not exist on or before this date. The applicable margin pricing was increased by 25 basis points. In addition, the amendment extended the Companys requirement to refinance the remaining $22,291 aggregate principal amount of the Companys 7¼% debentures and the 8¼% debentures from February 28, 2006 to June 10, 2006.

At September 3, 2005, the Company was not in compliance with its amended and restated credit agreement covenants with respect to the tangible net worth covenant due solely to the additional goodwill recorded as a result of the Kern acquisition. On October 12, 2005, the Company received a waiver from its lending group for the default and executed an amendment to the amended and restated credit agreement. The amendment changed the minimum tangible net worth requirement to adjust for the goodwill associated with the Kern acquisition.

Note I Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the first quarters ended September 3, 2005 and August 28, 2004 were 49.7% and 24.3%, respectively. The difference between the effective tax rate as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% primarily results from the Companys geographical distribution of taxable income and losses and, in the quarter ended September 3, 2005, subject to valuation allowances related to net operating losses. For the three months ended September 3, 2005, the tax benefit primarily related to net operating losses was limited by the requirement for a valuation allowance of $290, which increased the effective income tax rate by 8%.

Note J Calculation of Earnings Per Share

The Company has authorized 30,000 shares of common stock, 10,000 shares of Class B common stock, and 5,000 shares of preferred stock. The Class B common stock has ten votes per share. The Class B common stock has transferability restrictions; however, it may be converted into common stock on a share-for-share basis at any time. With respect to dividends and distributions, shares of common stock and Class B common stock rank equally and have the same rights, except that Class B common stock cash dividends are limited to 90% of the amount of common stock cash dividends.

The Company has determined that, under Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 03-6, Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, a two-class method of computing earnings per share is required. According to the EITF Issue No. 03-6, the Companys Class B common stock is considered a participating security requiring the use of the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. The two-class computation method for each period reflects the cash dividends paid per share for each class of stock, plus the amount of allocated undistributed earnings per share computed using the participation percentage which reflects the dividend rights of each class of stock. Basic and diluted earnings per share reflect the application of EITF Issue No. 03-6 and was computed using the two-class method. Prior periods have been restated to reflect this change. The shares of Class B common stock are considered to be participating convertible securities since the shares of Class B common stock are convertible on a share-for-share basis into shares of common stock and may participate in dividends with common stock according to a predetermined formula (90% of the amount of common stock cash dividends).

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income, adjusted for interest savings, net of tax, on assumed conversion of convertible debentures and notes, by the actual shares outstanding and share equivalents that would arise from the exercise of stock options, certain restricted stock awards, and the assumed conversion of convertible debentures and notes when dilutive. The Companys 8¼% and 7¼% debentures and its 7¾% notes are excluded from the calculation for the first quarter of fiscal 2006, and the Companys 8¼% and 7¼% debentures are excluded from the calculation for the first quarter of fiscal 2005, as assumed conversion and the effect of the interest savings would be anti-dilutive. The per share amounts presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and 2005 are based on the following amounts:

	First Quarter — FY 2006 (restated)	FY 2005 (restated)
Numerator for basic and diluted EPS:
Net income	$ 1,820	$ 904
Less dividends:
Common stock	571	565
Class B common stock	112	114
Undistributed earnings	$ 1,137	$ 225
Common stock undistributed earnings	$ 950	$ 184
Class B common stock undistributed earnings - basic	187	41

Common stock undistributed earnings	$ 951	$ 184
Class B common stock undistributed earnings - diluted	186	41
Total undistributed earnings - Class B common stock - diluted	$ 1,137	$ 225
Denominator for basic and diluted EPS:
Denominator for basic EPS:
Common stock weighted average shares	14,264	12,703
Class B common stock weighted average shares, and shares under if-converted method for diluted earnings per share	3,120	3,169
Effect of dilutive securities:
Unvested restricted stock awards	4	21
Dilutive stock options	100	231
Denominator for diluted EPS adjusted weighted average shares and assumed conversions	17,488	16,124
Net income per share (as restated) :

Class B common stock basic	$ 0.10	$ 0.05
Common stock diluted	$ 0.10	$ 0.06
Class B common stock diluted	$ 0.10	$ 0.05

As of the first quarter of fiscal 2006, 1,619 common stock options were anti-dilutive and were not included in the dilutive earnings per common share calculation. As of the first quarter of fiscal 2005, 1,268 common stock options were anti-dilutive and were not included in the dilutive earnings per common share calculation.

Note K Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock option plans and stock purchase plan in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees , and related interpretations. As such, compensation expense would be recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. However, the exercise price of all grants under the Companys option plans has been equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation , requires estimation of the fair value of options granted to employees. Had the Companys option plans and stock purchase plan been treated as compensatory under the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Companys net income and net income per share would have been affected as follows:

	First Quarter — FY 2006 (restated)	FY 2005 (restated)
Net income, as reported	$ 1,820	$	904
Add: Stock-based compensation expense included in reported net income, net of income tax	1		51
Deduct: Stock-based compensation expense determined under fair value-based method for all awards, net of income tax	(183	)	(216	)
Pro-forma net income	$ 1,638	$	739
Net income per share, as reported ( as restated ) :
Common stock basic	$ 0.11	$	0.06

Class B common stock basic	$ 0.09	$	0.04
Common stock diluted	$ 0.09	$	0.05
Class B common stock diluted	$ 0.09	$	0.04

Note M Recently Issued Pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) revised SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation . This Statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entitys equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. This statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123(R) is effective at the beginning of the next fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005, or the Companys fiscal year 2007. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No.123(R) on the financial statements.

Note N Subsequent Events

During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company implemented a reorganization plan encompassing the Companys RFWC and IPG business units. Effective for the second quarter of fiscal 2006, IPG will be designated as the Electron Device Group (EDG) and RFWC will be designated as RF, Wireless & Power Division (RFPD). The reorganization was implemented to increase efficiencies by integrating the IPG power conversion sales and product management into RFWC, improving the geographic sales coverage and driving sales growth by leveraging RFWCs larger sales resources. In addition, EDG will benefit from an increased focus on the high-margin tube business with a simplified global sales and product management structure to work more effectively with customers and vendors.

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

As discussed in Note B of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements have been amended and restated. The accompanying Managements Discussion and Analysis gives effect to the restatement.

Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A 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 the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A. 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 Companys financial condition or results of operations; (ii) the Companys financing plans; (iii) the Companys 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 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 Companys other filings with the Securities 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 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.

Table of Contents

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 Companys ability to service its debt and meet its other obligations depends on a number of factors beyond its control.

The Companys success depends on its executive officers and other key personnel.

The Companys amended and restated credit facility and the indentures for its outstanding debentures impose restrictions with respect to various business matters.

The Company was not in compliance with one of the financial covenants of its amended and restated credit facility for the quarter ended September 3, 2005, and may not be able to comply with these financial covenants in the future.

Recent changes in accounting standards regarding stock option plans could limit the desirability of granting stock options, which could harm the Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Company may have underpaid taxes in foreign countries where it has operations.

For more discussion of such risks, see Risk Factors in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 31, 2006.

These risks are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report may include additional factors, which could adversely affect the Companys 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 on the Companys 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 predictions 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 Companys 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.

Net sales and gross margin trends are analyzed for each strategic business unit in the discussion below.

RF & Wireless Communications Group

RFWC net sales increased 12.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 to $72,473 as compared with $64,427 in the same period last fiscal year. The sales growth was due mainly to an increase in sales of the network access and infrastructure product lines with growth of 24.4% and 22.2% to $30,616 and $21,355, respectively, offset by lower net sales of passive/interconnect products. The sales growth was the main contributor to the gross margin increase of 6.9% to $16,024; however, RFWC gross margin percentage declined to 22.1% from 23.3% due mainly to product mix.

Industrial Power Group

Tube sales increased 10.3% in the first three months of fiscal 2006 to $17,546 versus $15,905 in the same period last fiscal year, and power components sales grew to $11,167, 7.7% higher than $10,367 in the same period last fiscal year. Gross margin for IPG increased 8.8% to $9,904 due to sales volume increases in these product lines in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, while gross margin percentage remained relatively flat with the first quarter of fiscal 2005.

Security Systems Division

Net sales of private label products increased 22.1% to $8,491 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 as compared with $6,956 in the same period last fiscal year. Gross margin for SSD increased 7.9% to $7,014 in the first three months of fiscal 2006 versus the same period last fiscal year and SSD gross margin percentage increased to 26.1% due primarily to improvement in the private label product line gross margin.

Display Systems Group

DSG net sales grew 44.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 to $24,450 as compared with $16,980 in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The sales growth was mainly due to the Kern acquisition and to an increase in sales of the custom display and medical monitor product lines with increases of 135.1% and 15.9% to $9,138 and $8,849, respectively. Net sales for Kern in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 were $3,413. DSG gross margin increased 45.5% to $6,015 and the gross margin percentage increased to 24.6% from 24.3%.

Note: The fiscal 2005 data has been reclassified to conform with the fiscal 2006 presentation. The modification includes reclassifying customer cash discounts from selling, general and administrative expenses to net sales. Europe includes sales and gross margins to Middle East and Africa. Latin America includes sales and gross margins to Mexico. Corporate consists of freight and other non-specific sales and gross margins.

Net sales in North America increased 10.5% to $82,121 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 as compared with $74,340 in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The sales growth was due mainly to higher demand for display systems in the U.S. and security systems in Canada. In addition, net sales in Canada experienced an overall gain of 23.2% to $21,121 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 versus $17,150 in the prior fiscal year. An increase in net sales of higher margin products resulted in gross margin improvement in North America to 26.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2006.

Net sales in Europe grew to $32,806 in the first three months of fiscal 2006, 11.2% higher than $29,502 in the same period a year ago due mainly to the Kern acquisition. Gross margin as a percentage of sales in Europe decreased in the first three months of fiscal 2006 to 28.4% from 29.7% in the prior year, primarily due to lower RFWC gross margins in Europe and a shift in product mix.

Net sales in Asia/Pacific increased 29.2% to $37,200 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 versus $28,789 in the same period last fiscal year led by continued strong demand for wireless products. Net sales in Korea increased 52.0% to $11,976 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 due mainly to higher sales of wireless products. Gross margins for all strategic business units in Asia/Pacific improved in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 as compared to last fiscal years first quarter due mainly to improved product mix.

Net sales in Latin America improved 23.3% to $6,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 as compared with $4,865 in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The net sales growth was mainly driven by an increase in sales of industrial power products. Gross margin in Latin America declined to 25.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 versus 26.6% in the year ago period primarily due to product mix.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased 11.9% to $32,981 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 as compared with $29,476 in same period last fiscal year. The increase in expenses was primarily due to the acquisition of Kern and the additional week of payroll included in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 as compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2005. For the first quarter of fiscal 2006, total SG&A decreased to 20.9% of net sales compared to 21.3% in last fiscal years first quarter.

Other (Income) Expense

In the first quarter of fiscal 2006, other (income) expense decreased to $2,076 from $3,195 the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Other (income) expense included a foreign exchange gain of $137 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 as compared with a foreign exchange loss of $901 last year. The foreign exchange variance was due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, primarily related to intercompany receivables held by the U.S. parent company and denominated in foreign currencies. Interest expense of $2,277 was relatively flat with the prior years first quarter.

Income Tax Provision

The effective income tax rates for the fiscal years ended September 3, 2005 and August 28, 2004 were 49.7% and 24.3%, respectively. The difference between the effective tax rate as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% primarily results from the Companys geographical distribution of taxable income and losses, and, in the quarter ended September 3, 2005, subject to valuation allowances related to net operating losses. For the three months ended September 3, 2005, the tax benefit primarily related to net operating losses was limited by the requirement for a valuation allowance of $290, which increased the effective income tax rate by 8.0%.

Net Income and Per Share Data

Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 was $1,820, or $0.10 per diluted common share or $0.10 per diluted Class B common share, as compared with $904, or $0.06 per diluted common share or $0.05 per diluted Class B common share in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has financed its growth and cash needs largely through income from operations, borrowings under the revolving credit facilities, an equity offering, issuance of convertible senior subordinated notes, and sale of assets. Liquidity provided by operating activities is reduced by working capital requirements, debt service, capital expenditures, dividends, and business acquisitions. Liquidity is increased by proceeds from borrowings and dispositions of businesses and assets.

Cash and cash equivalents were $19,706 at September 3, 2005, a decrease of $4,595 from fiscal 2005 year end. Cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 was $4,800 versus cash utilization of $9,489 in the same period last year. The increase was mainly due to lower accounts receivables and higher accounts payable and accrued liabilities, offset by higher inventory levels needed for stocking requirements due to anticipated sales growth.

Net cash used in investing activities of $7,353 was a result of the acquisition, effective June 1, 2005, of Kern located in Donaueschingen in southern Germany. The cash outlay for Kern was $6,524, net of cash acquired. Kern is one of the leading display technology companies in Europe with world wide customers in manufacturing, OEM, medicine, multimedia, IT trading, system houses, and other industries.

Table of Contents

Net cash used in financing activities of $2,118 was primarily due to payments of debt during the first quarter of fiscal 2006.

In October 2004, the Company renewed its multi-currency revolving credit agreement with the current lending group in the amount of $109,000 (the size of the credit line varies based on fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates). The agreement expires in October 2009, and the outstanding balance at that time will become due. At September 3, 2005, $54,334 was outstanding under the amended and restated credit agreement. The amended and restated credit agreement is principally secured by the Companys trade receivables and inventory. The amended and restated credit agreement bears interest at applicable LIBOR rates plus a margin, varying with certain financial performance criteria. At September 3, 2005, the applicable margin was 2.25%. Outstanding letters of credit were $1,643 at September 3, 2005, leaving an unused line of $54,231 under the total amended and restated credit agreement; however, this amount was reduced to $1,161 due to maximum permitted leverage ratios. The commitment fee related to the amended and restated credit agreement is 0.25% per annum payable quarterly on the average daily unused portion of the aggregate commitment. The Companys amended and restated credit agreement consists of the following facilities as of September 3, 2005:

	Capacity	Amount Outstanding	Interest Rate
US Facility	$ 70,000	$ 23,100	5.53 %
Canada Facility	14,367	8,800	4.25 %
Sweden Facility	8,614	8,614	3.45 %
UK Facility	8,249	5,866	6.37 %
Euro Facility	6,247	6,133	3.86 %
Japan Facility	2,731	1,821	1.85 %
Total	$ 110,208	$ 54,334	4.78 %

Note: Due to maximum permitted leverage ratios, the amount of the unused line cannot be calculated on a facility-by-facility basis.

On August 24, 2005, the Company executed an amendment to the amended and restated credit agreement. The amendment changed the maximum permitted leverage ratios and the minimum required fixed charge coverage ratios for each of the first three quarters of fiscal 2006 to provide the Company additional flexibility for these periods. In addition, the amendment also provides that the Company will maintain excess availability on the borrowing base of not less than $23,000 until June 30, 2006 if a default or event of default does not exist on or before this date. The applicable margin pricing was increased by 25 basis points. In addition, the amendment extended the Companys requirement to refinance the remaining $22,291 aggregate principal amount of the Companys 7 1 / 4 % debentures and the 8 1 / 4 % debentures from February 28, 2006 to June 10, 2006.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation . This Statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entitys equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. This statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123(R) is effective at the beginning of the next fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005, or the Companys fiscal year 2007. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No.123(R) on the financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Risk Management and Market Sensitive Financial Instruments

The Companys foreign denominated assets and liabilities are cash, accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable, and intercompany receivables and payables, primarily in Canada and member countries of the European community and, to a lesser extent, in Asia/Pacific and Latin America. The Company has not entered into any forward contracts to hedge significant transactions in fiscal 2006 or fiscal 2005. Other tools that may be used to manage foreign exchange exposures include the use of currency clauses in sales contracts and the use of local debt to offset asset exposures.

As discussed above, the Companys debt financing, in part, varies with market rates exposing the Company to the market risk from changes in interest rates. Certain operations, assets and liabilities are denominated in foreign currencies subjecting the Company to foreign currency exchange risk. In order to provide the user of these financial statements guidance regarding the magnitude of these risks, the Securities and Exchange Commission requires the Company to provide certain quantitative disclosures based upon hypothetical assumptions. Specifically, these disclosures require the calculation of the effect of a uniform 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies on the reported net earnings and financial position of the Company.

Had the U.S. dollar strengthened 10% against various foreign currencies, sales would have been lower by an estimated $6,100 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and $5,200 in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Total assets would have declined by an estimated $11,800 as of the quarter ended September 3, 2005 and an estimated $10,600 as of the fiscal year ended May 28, 2005, while the total liabilities would have decreased by an estimated $4,800 as of the quarter ended September 3, 2005 and an estimated $4,200 as of the fiscal year ended May 28, 2005.

The interpretation and analysis of these disclosures should not be considered in isolation since such variances in interest rates and exchange rates would likely influence other economic factors. Such factors, which are not readily quantifiable, would likely also affect the Companys operations.

For an additional description of the Companys market risk, see Item 7A Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk Risk Management and Market Sensitive Financial Instruments in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended May 28, 2005.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management of the Company, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of September 3, 2005. Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 3, 2005 due to material weaknesses in the Companys internal control over financial reporting disclosed in Item 9A. Controls and Procedures of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended May 28, 2005. The weaknesses were (1) deficiencies in the Companys control environment, (2) inadequate controls associated with the accounting for income taxes, (3) inadequate financial statement preparation and review procedures, and (4) deficiency related to the application of accounting literature. To address these material weaknesses, the Company has expanded its disclosure controls and procedures to include additional analysis and other post-closing procedures. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were six changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Table of Contents

In June 2005, the Company hired a Director of Tax to increase its focus on processes and procedures associated with accounting for income taxes;

The Company has developed a program to provide training for accounting personnel in the Companys foreign subsidiaries;

The Company has enhanced its account reconciliation process to ensure that accounts are being reconciled on a timely basis, the reconciliations are independently reviewed, and any reconciling items are cleared on a timely basis;

The Company has developed a plan to strengthen its procedures regarding the review and approval of journal entries through system automation;

The Company has implemented formal procedures for financial statement variance analysis and balance sheet reconciliations. The monthly closing schedule is formally communicated to all subsidiaries; and

The Company has improved documentation of management review and reconciliation performance through policies, education and re-enforcement, a listing of employees who reconcile and approve balance sheet account reconciliations, and the implementation of key financial manager checklists.

In order to remediate the material weaknesses identified in internal control over financial reporting and ensure the integrity of our financial reporting processes, the Company has implemented or is in the process of implementing the measures described in Item 4(b) above, as well as the following additional actions:

The Company has engaged outside tax professionals to provide global compliance and reporting services to ensure that the Company has appropriate resources to conduct timely reviews and evaluations of the Companys current and deferred tax provisions, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and related complex tax issues;

The Company trained accounting personnel in the Companys European subsidiaries and will continue training its other foreign subsidiaries throughout fiscal 2006;

The Company has developed a policy related to controls over end-user computing; and

The Company is recruiting for a Director of Internal Audit to assist the Company in its ongoing evaluation and monitoring of internal control over financial reporting.

In addition, in an effort to improve internal control over financial reporting, the Company continues to emphasize the importance of establishing the appropriate environment in relation to accounting, financial reporting, and internal control over financial reporting and the importance of identifying areas for improvement and to create and implement new policies and procedures where material weaknesses or significant deficiencies exist.

It should be noted the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that the Companys internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud, even after completion of the described remediation efforts. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and

Table of Contents

there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

At September 3, 2005, the Company was not in compliance with its amended and restated credit agreement covenants with respect to the tangible net worth covenant due solely to the additional goodwill recorded as a result of the Kern acquisition. On October 12, 2005, the Company received a waiver from its lending group for the default and executed an amendment to the amendment and restated credit agreement (the Waiver and Third Amendment). The amendment changed the minimum tangible net worth requirement to adjust for the goodwill associated with the Kern acquisition. A description of the material terms of the amended and restated credit agreement is provided in the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 1, 2004.

The description of this Waiver and Third Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Waiver and Third Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10(ac)(3) to this Form 10-Q/A and incorporated by reference herein.
