PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
Video Display Corporation (the "Company") principally manufactures and supplies
cathode ray tubes ("CRTs") and related component parts and assemblies in the
worldwide replacement market for use in data display screens, including computer
monitors, medical monitoring equipment, military applications and various other
data display applications and in television sets. The Company also acts as a
wholesale distributor of electronic parts and CRTs purchased from domestic and
foreign manufacturers.
DESCRIPTION OF PRINCIPAL BUSINESS
Video Display Corporation was incorporated in the State of Connecticut in 1975,
and through a tax free reorganization became a Georgia corporation in 1984. The
Company began its operations as a single recycling plant in Stone Mountain,
Georgia providing replacement CRTs for color and black/white television sets.
Beginning in 1983, with the growth of the computer industry, the Company
expanded to meet the needs of the replacement market for computer monitors and
other data display screens. To accomplish this objective, the Company acquired
production equipment and customers from other smaller CRT remanufacturers. In
fiscal 1993, the Company, through its Mexican subsidiary Video Electronics S.A.
de C.V. ("Video Electronics"), obtained the CSA (Canadian Standards Association)
and UL (Underwriters Laboratory) safety approvals for its recycled products. The
Company and its plants in Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Texas, New York and
Monterrey, Mexico combine to form a national CRT-OEM (original equipment
manufacturer) manufacturing and distribution network with recycling capabilities
and many years of OEM production experience.
In fiscal 1996, the Company acquired the assets and assumed certain of the
liabilities of Teltron Technologies, Inc. ("Teltron") and the stock of Z-Axis,
Inc. ("Z-Axis"). Teltron is involved in the development and production of new
and recycled camera and cathode ray tubes and special purpose sensors. Teltron's
products are used in camera tube applications including nuclear inspection, UV
sensing, x-ray, and astronomy; military applications including avionics
instrument displays, marine radar displays, helmet mounted displays, vehicular
displays, and target monitoring image tubes; and in cathode ray tube
applications including OEM displays, flying spot scanners, photo typesetting and
electrostatic deflection tube applications. Z-Axis is involved in the design and
production of color and monochrome video display monitors. Z-Axis' monitors are
used in industrial control, medical instruments, test equipment, visual aid
devices, on-board tracking systems, point-of-sale terminals and naval tactical
displays.
The Company, through its acquisitions of Southwest Vacuum Devices, Inc.
("Southwest") formerly of Tucson, Arizona, now located in Atlanta, Georgia; a
majority interest in English based Video Display (Europe) Ltd. ("VDC, Ltd.") and
the majority of the outstanding shares of Apex Electronics, Inc. ("Apex") of
Passaic, New Jersey is involved in the manufacturing, marketing and distribution
of electron guns and related hardware. The electron gun is the main component of
a CRT and these companies give Video Display the ability to supply virtually all
of its electron gun requirements.
In the late 1980's, the Company entered the market of wholesale distribution of
consumer electronic parts and consumer products and accessories with the
acquisition of Fox International Ltd., Inc. ("Fox") of Cleveland, Ohio and Vanco
International, Inc. of Chicago, Illinois. Fox later added locations in Chicago,
Illinois, Setauket, New York and Orlando, Florida (subsequently closed) by
acquiring assets and existing leases of operating distributors. Upon acquiring
these locations, Fox increased the total inventory lines and implemented the
Company's operating policies so that all locations of Fox operate on a similar
basis. Fox
1
<PAGE>
is involved in the wholesale distribution of consumer electronic parts for most
major U.S. and foreign electronic manufacturers.
Video Display Corporation continues to explore opportunities to expand the
products offered in the replacement market. This expansion will be achieved by
adding new products to its inventory or by acquiring existing companies which
enhance the Company's position in the electronic replacement market. Research
and development primarily consists of establishing the interchangeability of
products from various manufacturers and when advantageous, manufacturing
products to replace original electronic parts.
INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
This information is provided in the notes to consolidated financial statements,
Note 9, Page F-15.
PRODUCTS
CATHODE RAY TUBES ("CRTS")
Since its organization in 1975, Video Display Corporation has been engaged in
the distribution and manufacture of CRTs using new and recycled CRT glass bulbs,
primarily in the replacement market, for use in data display screens, including
computer terminal monitors, medical monitoring equipment and various other data
display applications and in television sets. The Company currently markets CRTs
in over 3,000 types and sizes.
The Company's CRT operations are conducted at its facilities near Atlanta,
Georgia, and at facilities located in: White Mills, Pennsylvania (Chroma);
Bossier City, Louisiana (Novatron); Monterrey, Mexico (Video Electronics);
Phelps, New York (Z-Axis); Birdsboro, Pennsylvania (Teltron); and Dallas, Texas
(Magna View). At each facility, the Company acquires, primarily from its
customers, used CRTs and recycles the glass bulb to meet original
specifications.
The recycling process for monochrome CRTs involves the cleaning and
reconditioning of the glass bulb and the insertion of new electronic components,
which are purchased from original equipment manufacturers and the Company's
electron gun subsidiaries. The Company's Atlanta and Monterrey, Mexico
facilities also assemble monochrome CRTs using new glass bulbs obtained from
suppliers in standard sizes where customer requirements warrant the higher cost
of new glass. The recycling of color CRTs involves the insertion of new
electronic components, while leaving the original display screen intact. All
CRTs manufactured by the Company are tested for quality in accordance with
standards approved by Underwriter's Laboratories, Inc. and are shipped to
customers or warehoused to meet future customer demand. The Company provides
one-year limited warranties on its computer and other data display CRTs and two-
year limited warranties on its color television components. Management believes
that the Company is the largest recycler of CRTs in the domestic replacement
markets for both television and data display uses.
The Company also distributes new CRTs and other electronic tubes purchased from
original manufacturers, both domestic and international. Some of these
manufacturers offer large quantities of overstocked original manufactured tubes
from time to time at significant price reductions. The Company acquires these
tubes when the existing replacement market demonstrates adequate future demand
and the purchase price allows a reasonable profit for the risk. However, these
purchased inventories sometimes do not turn as quickly as other inventories. In
fiscal 1998, distribution of new CRTs purchased from domestic and foreign
manufacturers accounted for approximately sixty-five percent (65%) of the
Company's data display CRT sales. Although the Company will continue to source
CRTs from these manufacturers, it
2
<PAGE>
believes that as the demand for data display CRTs increases, the environmental
concerns and the cost benefits of recycling will result in an increasing
percentage of the Company's sales from recycled CRTs.
The Company markets its products through approximately 250 independent wholesale
electronics distributors located throughout the U.S. and sells directly to
original equipment manufacturers and their service organizations. The Company
also supplies, under private-brand labeling, many of the replacement tubes
marketed by several national brand name television set manufacturers.
In late fiscal 1996, the Company obtained a contract from a prime contractor
with the United States government to provide CRT's for the AWACS military
aircraft. The Company expects revenues from this contract of approximately $1.5
million over three years. Through February 28, 1998, the Company has recognized
$1,295,000 in revenues under the contract.
In addition to factors affecting the overall market for such products, the
Company's sales volumes in both the color television and the data display CRT
replacement markets are dependent upon the Company's ability to provide prompt
response to customers' orders, while maintaining quality control and competitive
pricing. While the Company's manufacturing activities are scheduled primarily
around orders received, it also manufactures a wide variety of CRTs for stock
inventory in anticipation of customer demand.
ELECTRON GUNS AND COMPONENTS
The Company through its electron gun manufacturing subsidiaries; Southwest, VDC,
Ltd., and Apex; manufacture electron gun assemblies comprised of small metal and
ceramic parts in a glass housing. The assembly process is highly labor
intensive. While the particular electron guns being sold are of the Company's
own design, most are replacements for electron guns previously designed for
original equipment CRTs used in television sets and computer monitors.
Therefore, the total amount of research and development expense is not
significant and is not segregated in the consolidated financial statements, but
is instead included in cost of sales. Raw materials consist of glass and metal
stamped parts.
The Company, through its electron gun division, primarily markets electron gun
component parts to OEM companies who manufacture high resolution and specialty
tubes for unique applications. The majority of electron guns produced by this
division is consumed internally among the Company's own CRT manufacturing
facilities. Sales to these related divisions, which have been eliminated in the
consolidated financial statements, amounted to approximately $520,000, $521,000
and $660,000 in fiscal 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Electron gun sales are historically dependent upon the demand by domestic and
foreign television CRT remanufacturers. The Company continues to seek
alternative growth oriented markets to fully utilize its electron gun and
component assembly facilities.
ELECTRONIC PARTS
Fox distributes consumer electronic parts of most major consumer electronics
manufacturers, both foreign and domestic. Fox resells these products to major
electronic distributors, retail electronic repair facilities, third party
contractual repair shops and directly to consumers. In its relationship with
consumer electronic manufacturers, Fox receives the right, frequently exclusive,
to ship parts to authorized dealers. Many of the manufacturers also direct
inquiries for replacement parts to Fox. Each manufacturer requires a distributor
to stock its most popular parts and monitors the order fill ratio to insure that
their customers have access to sufficient replacement parts. Fox maintains very
high fill ratios in order to secure favored distributor status from the
manufacturers, requiring a significant investment in inventories. To a limited
extent, Fox has the ability to rotate its state with certain vendors to mitigate
any risk of investment in inventories.
3
<PAGE>
The Company also imports, packages and distributes consumer electronic
accessories for mobile and home audio, video, telephone, CB radio and general
electronic usage through Vanco of Waukegan, Illinois. Approximately 95% of the
product is purchased in bulk from various vendors in the Orient and repackaged
in Vanco's warehouse for distribution. The Company primarily markets its
products to retail electronic repair facilities, third party contractual repair
shops and directly to the consumer. Many of the Company's customers are referred
by the manufacturers. The Company also publishes a catalog which is primarily
aimed at the small shop owner and the personal consumer. Some of the Company's
products are resold by other distributors of electronic parts under the Vanco
and Marmac product names.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The objective of the Company's research and development activities is to
increase efficiency and quality in its manufacturing and assembly operations and
to enhance its products by implementing new developments in cathode ray and
electron optic technology. The Company's commercial and military divisions
continue their research and development in advanced infrared imaging ("FLIR").
Recently, the Company has funded additional FLIR research in partnership with
the University of Rhode Island. Potential future markets for FLIR include
military and security surveillance, target acquisition, fire fighting, and
industrial and medical thermography. Through fiscal 1998 the Company has not
incurred significant costs for basic research or new product development and
therefore, has not segregated them as a separate item but are included in the
consolidated financial statements as a part of costs of goods sold. As the
Company continues to increase its development of new technology, these costs
will be monitored and separately categorized if material.
EMPLOYEES
As of February 28, 1998, the Company employed a total of 667 persons on a full
time basis. Of these, 110 are employed in executive, administrative, and
clerical positions, 57 are employed in sales and distribution, and 500 are
employed in manufacturing operations. Of the Company's 667 employees, 264 are
employed at the Company's Mexican subsidiary. None of the domestic employees are
represented by a union, and the Company believes its employee relations to be
satisfactory.
COMPETITION
Although the Company believes that it is the largest domestic recycler and
distributor of recycled CRTs in the United States CRT replacement market, it
competes with other CRT manufacturers, as well as OEM's, many of which have
greater financial resources than the Company. The Company believes it is the
only company that offers complete service in replacement markets with its
manufacturing and recycling capabilities. As a wholesale distributor of original
equipment purchased from other manufacturers, the Company also competes with
numerous other distributors, as well as the manufacturers' own distribution
centers, many of which are larger and have substantially greater financial
resources than the Company. The Company's ability to compete effectively in this
market is dependent upon its continued ability to respond promptly to customer
orders and to offer competitive pricing. The Company expects that competition
may increase, especially in the computer and other display replacement markets,
should domestic and foreign competitors expand their presence in the domestic
replacement markets.
Compared to domestic manufacturing prices on new CRTs, the Company's prices are
competitive due to lower manufacturing costs associated with recycling the glass
portion of previously used tubes which the Company obtains from customers and
others at a fraction of the cost of new glass. The Company has, to date, been
able to maintain competitive pricing with respect to imported CRTs because,
generally, the CRT replacement market is characterized by customers requiring a
variety of types of CRTs in quantities not sufficiently large enough to absorb
the additional transportation costs incurred by foreign CRT manufacturers.
4
<PAGE>
The Company believes it has a competitive advantage in providing CRTs to the
U.S. government through its acquisition of Teltron as this operation has over
thirty years experience in providing reliable products and services to the U.S.
government.
The Company's competition in the consumer electronics parts segment comes
primarily from other parts distributors. Many of these distributors are smaller
than the Company but a few are of equal or greater sales size. Prices for major
manufacturers' products can be directly affected by the manufacturers' suggested
resale price. The Company feels that its service to customers and warehousing
and shipping network give it a competitive advantage. Growth is expected in the
product lines as the Company utilizes its advantages of offering a complete
inventory of parts and service to all of its different customer groups.

FISCAL 1998 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1997
NET SALES
Consolidated net sales for fiscal 1998 increased $4,048,000 or 7.5% over fiscal
1997 net sales. Of this increase, the CRT segment sales increased $6,117,000 or
21.7%, which was offset by declines in sales of the combined distribution of
consumer electronic parts segment had an offsetting decrease of $2,069,000 or
8.1%.
Within the CRT segment, data display CRT sales were up $4,193,000 or 21.8%,
television CRT sales were up $1,857,000 or 23.1% and electron gun sales were up
$67,000 or 6.9%. All divisions comprising the CRT segment contributed to the
sales increases. One of the largest gains occurred within the television
9
<PAGE>
CRT market with the Company being awarded a significant contract to perform the
in warranty and out of warranty service of replacement parts. Additionally,
sales increased at the Company's two newest data display division subsidiaries
as they continued to expand their corresponding market share of commercial and
military monitors. Also, the Company increased marketing efforts for projection
and commercial data display tubes which benefited sales $1.5 million in the
current year.
The wholesale consumer electronic parts segment sales decreased from the prior
year. There was an overall decline in sales to major electronics distributors
during the year of approximately $500,000. Additionally this division continued
to see declining trends of small distribution and consumer shops being absorbed
or eliminated by large discount chains. The Company is seeking other
opportunities to increase higher margin consumer electronic sales including the
development of a world wide web internet parts inquiry and order system to be
completed in fiscal 1999.
GROSS MARGINS
Consolidated gross profit margins increased 11.1% in fiscal 1998 to 37.9% from
34.1% in fiscal 1997. CRT segment margins increased 14.9% to 38.6% and
wholesale consumer electronics parts segment increased 5.2% to 36.4%.
The CRT segment margins are healthier due to the Company's ability to make
significant bulk purchases of tubes, primarily television tubes, at
significantly reduced prices and sell these tubes during the year. These tubes
are purchased from OEMs at the end of their production runs for use in the
replacement market. Additionally, the CRT segment had a higher plant
utilization at several of its locations where an increase in volume did not
correspondingly increase overhead rates and in some facilities direct labor
costs, resulting in a favorable impact to the Company margins.
The increase in margins within the wholesale consumer electronic parts division
has been impacted due to two factors; bulk purchases of merchandise at reduced
prices as well as overall price increases within the consumer electronics
accessories product line. Included within these higher margins were increases
to the Company's inventory obsolescence reserve of $197,000 for the CRT segment
and $85,000 for the wholesale segment.
The Company anticipates that margins will remain strong during fiscal 1999 if
opportunities to purchases inventory at reduced prices and maximization of
existing plant capacities continue.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses increased $324,000 or 2.0% considering the effect of the
annualization of expenses of the two subsidiaries acquired in fiscal 1997.
However, overall, operating expenses decreased in fiscal 1998 4.4% to 25.9% as a
percentage of sales.
Selling and delivery expenses decreased to $4,258,000 in spite of the increase
in sales due to increased productivity of the sales staff without correlating
increases in compensation as well as decreases in delivery expenses due to the
Company's focus on less expensive delivery practices, especially within the
wholesale parts division. Considering the effect of annualization discussed
above, general and administrative expenses remained flat.
The Company continues to closely monitor expenses and seeks ways to reduce them.
INTEREST EXPENSE
10
<PAGE>
Interest expense declined $75,000 even though debt has declined from $15,832,000
at February 28, 1997 to $11,945,000 at February 28, 1998. The major reduction
in the debt occurred in the latter half of the year. In conjunction with the
restructuring of the debt with banks, as discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated
financial statements, a portion of the debt was refinanced at a slightly higher
rate of prime plus 1% rather than prime plus 1/2%. Subsequent to fiscal 1998, a
significant portion of the higher interest rate debt has been paid down and a
significant portion of long term debt was refinanced at a fixed rate of 7.25%.
Additionally, twelve months of interest expense was recognized in the current
year related to the subordinated debentures whereas only nine months impacted
1997.
INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for fiscal 1998 was 38.4% compared to 28.9% in fiscal
1997. The major component of this increase is related to the nontaxable profit
contribution via loss carryforward utilization of the Company's Mexican
subsidiary being significantly less in fiscal 1998.
FISCAL 1997 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1996
Net Sales
Consolidated net sales in fiscal 1997 increased $5,753,000 or 12% as compared
to the same period a year ago. CRT sales in fiscal 1997 increased $4,275,000 or
17.9%. The consumer electronic parts division sales increased $1,478,000 or
6.1% compared to a year ago.
The CRT division sales increased $4,275,000 or 17.9%. The acquisitions of
Teltron and Z-Axis during fiscal 1997 contributed sales of $5,254,000 to the CRT
division results. The offsetting decline of $979,000 includes a $571,000
decline in electron gun sales. This decline is primarily a result of the
relocation of the Tucson, Arizona gun facility in March 1996 to Stone Mountain,
Georgia. The gun facility did not resume full operations until late July 1996.
Television grade CRTs sales declined $227,000 due primarily to a reduction of
export sales and a decrease in customer demand for this type of tube.
The consumer electronics parts division sales increased $1,478,000 or 6.1%.
This net increase is comprised of a net $2,748,000 increase in sales of
replacement parts to major electronics distributors during the current fiscal
year. The offsetting decline of $1,270,000 reflects the growing trend of
certain customers, small distribution companies and consumer shops, being
absorbed or eliminated by large discount chains. Sales in the fire and safety
product line were flat in fiscal 1997.
GROSS MARGINS
Consolidated gross profit margins decreased from 37.2% to 34.1% for the fiscal
year ended 1997. CRT division margins decreased from 34.6% to 33.4%. Included
in the prior year margins were significant bulk purchases of television grade
tubes at reduced prices. Such purchases were not available to the Company in
fiscal 1997. The acquisitions of Z-Axis and Teltron in the current year also
contributed to the decline in margins as these two subsidiaries have
historically had lower margins than the Company's CRT division. Also included
in fiscal 1997 CRT division margins are adjustments for inventory obsolescence
of $180,000.
Margins for the consumer parts distribution division declined from 40% to 34.6%.
Margins were negatively affected due to increased sales to major electronic
distributors at lower margins. Additionally, margins in the fire and safety
product line decreased as a result of increased price competition with a major
competitor.

OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses increased $205,000 or 1.4% compared to one year ago.
Included in these increases are the operating expenses of the acquired CRT
companies of $958,000. Offsetting decreases of $753,000 included advertising,
delivery and long distance service expenses that were targeted by the Company's
management and reduced in fiscal 1997.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense increased $146,000 or 12.8% in fiscal 1997 due to increased
borrowings incurred in the current fiscal year. The borrowings were in
conjunction with the two acquisitions the Company made in fiscal 1997 resulting
in increased debt of $2,900,000. These borrowings are at rates slightly higher
(prime plus 1%) than the term loan and revolving line of credit facilities which
are at prime plus 1/2%.
INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective tax rate for fiscal 1997 was 28.9% compared to 34.2% in
fiscal 1996. See Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements for a table
indicating the items affecting the effective tax rate.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's working capital was $16,441,000 and $13,784,000 at February 28,
1998 and February 28, 1997, respectively. During fiscal 1998, operations
provided net cash of $6,635,000 of which $1,141,000 was used for capital
expenditures and other investments and $3,951,000 was used primarily to reduce
debt. During fiscal 1997 and 1996, operations provided net cash of $830,000 and
$2,687,000, respectively, which was primarily used for capital expenditures in
1997 and to reduce debt in 1996.
Subsequent to the fiscal 1998 year, the Company renegotiated its interest rate
with its primary lender. The Company was successful in negotiating a favorable
reduction on its debt from prime plus 1/2% to a 7 1/4% fixed rate. The revolver
was extended for two years. Additionally, subsequent to February 28, 1998, the
Company acquired the inventory and fixed assets of Wintron, Inc. for $400,000.
The Company continues to monitor its cash and financing positions, seeking to
find ways to lower its interest costs and to produce positive operating cash
flow. As in prior years, as sales contracts or acquisitions present themselves,
there could be an impact to working capital requirements. As in the past, the
intent is to finance such projects with existing bank lines; however, longer
more permanent sources of capital may be required in certain circumstances.
FOREIGN CURRENCIES
During 1998, the Company began reporting its Mexican subsidiary on the basis of
the functional currency being the U.S. dollar. Any exchange gains or losses due
to the actual exchange of pesos and U.S. dollars is currently reflected in the
Company's income statement. There were no significant gains or losses for the
current fiscal year.
YEAR 2000 RISKS
As is the case with other companies using computers in their operations, the
Company is faced with the task of addressing the Year 2000 issue during the next
two years. The "Year 2000 Issue" arises from the widespread use of computer
programs that rely on two-digit date codes to perform computations or decision-
making functions. Management believes that the costs associated with their
computer systems becoming Year 2000 compliant will not be significant.
12
<PAGE>
There can be no guarantee that the measures taken by the Company will solve the
Year 2000 issue. Specific factors which prevent the risk to be neutralized
include, but are not limited to, the ability of other companies on which the
Company's systems rely to modify or convert their systems to be Year 2000
compliant, the ability to locate and correct all relevant computer codes and
similar uncertainties.
MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Examples
include provisions for returns, bad debts, inventory obsolescence and the length
of product life cycles and fixed asset lives. Actual results could vary from
these estimates.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This report contains forward-looking statements and information that is based on
management's beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently
available to management. When used in this document, the words "anticipate,"
"believe," "estimate," "intends," "will," and "expect" and similar expressions
are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements involve a
number of risks and uncertainties. Among the factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially are the following: business conditions, rapid or
unexpected technological changes, product development, inventory risks due to
shifts in product demand, competition, domestic and foreign government
relations, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, rising costs for components
or unavailability of components, the timing of orders booked, lender
relationships, and the risk factors listing from time to time in the Company's
reports filed with the Commission.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which
supersedes SFAS No. 14, "Financial Reporting of Segments of a Business
Enterprise". SFAS No. 131 establishes financial and reporting standards for the
reporting of public companies of information about operating segments in annual
financial statements and for the first time, requires reporting of selected
information about operating segments in interim financial statements issued to
the public. It also establishes standards for disclosures regarding products
and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS 131 defines operating
segments as components of a company about which separate financial information
is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker
in deciding how to allocate resources in assessing performance.
SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after
December 15, 1997 and requires the restatement of comparative information for
earlier periods. Management has been evaluating the impact the new statement
will have on future financial statement disclosures and has determined that the
impact will not be significant.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
Inflation has not had a material effect on the Company's results of operations
to date except for that discussed in the foreign currency section above.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Video Display Corporation
Tucker, Georgia
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Video Display Corporation and
subsidiaries as of February 28, 1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated
statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended February 28, 1998. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Video Display
Corporation and subsidiaries as of February 28, 1998 and 1997, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended February 28, 1998, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Consolidated Statements
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS
Video Display Corporation (the "Company") principally manufactures and
distributes cathode ray tubes ("CRTs") in the worldwide replacement market for
use in television sets and data display screens, including computer monitors,
medical monitoring equipment, and various other data display applications. The
Company also manufactures and distributes electron guns and associated parts
which are significant components in new and recycled CRTs. The Company also acts
as a wholesale distributor of electronic parts and CRTs purchased from domestic
and foreign manufacturers. The Company's operations are principally located in
the U.S.; however, the Company does have subsidiary operations located in Mexico
and the UK. The Mexican operations consist principally of purchasing monochrome
CRTs from the Company, and recycling and selling the CRTs back to the Company.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its majority-owned subsidiaries after elimination of all intercompany accounts
and transactions.
CONCENTRATIONS OF RISK AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. At times such
cash in banks are in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. During 1998, the
Company's sales to any one customer did not exceed 10% of consolidated sales.
One of the Company's wholesale electronic parts distributors had sales to one
customer that comprised approximately 28% and 21% of that subsidiary's sales in
1998 and 1997, respectively. Also, one of the Company's CRT branches had sales
to two customers that comprised 53% and 50% of that subsidiary's sales in 1998
and 1997, respectively. Additionally, other subsidiaries have a few concentrated
customers and vendors that could, if lost, negatively effect sales. The Company
attempts to minimize credit risk by reviewing all customers' credit history
before extending credit, and by monitoring customers' credit exposure on a daily
basis. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable
based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical
trends and other information.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization
are computed principally by the straight line method for financial reporting
purposes over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings - ten to twenty
five years; Machinery and Equipment - five to ten years. Depreciation expense
totaled approximately $1,139,000, $1,223,000, and $1,504,000 in 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively.
Management reviews and assesses long-lived assets for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, management
estimates the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If
the sum of the undiscounted expected cash flows is less than the carrying amount
of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized based upon the estimated fair
value of the asset.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.
GOODWILL
Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets
acquired in business combinations accounted for as purchases. Goodwill is
amortized over on a straight-line basis over the periods benefited, principally
five to fifteen years.
The Company's operational policy for the assessment and measurement of any
impairment in goodwill which is other than temporary is to evaluate the
recoverability and remaining life and determine whether it should be completely
written off or the amortization period accelerated. The Company will recognize
an impairment if undiscounted estimated future operating cash flows of the
acquired business are determined to be less than the carrying amount. The amount
of impairment, if any, is measured based on projected discounted future
operating cash flows using a discount rate reflecting the Company's average cost
of funds.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS
Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated using the exchange
rate in effect at the end of the year. Revenues and expenses are translated
using the average of the exchange rates in effect during the year. Translation
adjustments and transaction gains and losses related to long-term intercompany
transactions are accumulated as a separate component of shareholders' equity. As
of January 1, 1997, the Mexican economy qualified as highly inflationary and
since that date the financial statements have been accounted for on the basis
that the functional currency of the Mexican subsidiary is the U.S. dollar. The
conversion of the functional currency has not had a material effect on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
In March 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128").
The new standard simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share and
requires presentation of two new amounts, basic and diluted earnings per share
for all periods presented.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each
year. Shares issued during the year are weighted for the portion of the year
that they were outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated in a manner
consistent with that of basic earnings per share while giving effect to all
dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from product sales are recognized when goods are shipped. The Company
does not offer rights of return to customers; however, it does offer one-year
and two-year limited warranties on certain products. Warranty expense is not
material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and short-term
debt approximate cost due to the short period of time to maturity. The recorded
amounts of long-term debt are considered to approximate fair value due to either
rates which fluctuate with the market or are otherwise commensurate with the
current market. Fair values of investments are based on quoted market prices or
pricing models using current market rates which approximate carrying value.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Examples
include provisions for returns, bad debts, inventory obsolescence and the length
of product life cycles and fixed asset lives. Actual results could vary from
these estimates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on account, demand deposits and
certificates of deposit with maturities of less than three months.
INVESTMENTS
The Company has an investment in an unconsolidated subsidiary which is accounts
for under the cost method of accounting. The Company owns certain marketable
equity securities which are recorded at fair value based upon quoted market
prices and classified as available-for-sale securities under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities". Changes in fair value of these marketable equity
securities are reflected in the statements of shareholders' equity. Investments
are included under the caption "Other Assets".

NOTE 5. LINES OF CREDIT
During early 1998, the Company refinanced its loan agreement ("Agreement") to
provide for a $4,500,000 line of credit with its primary bank and $3,500,000
with a second bank secured by substantially all assets of the Company. In
conjunction with this refinancing, the Company borrowed $2,800,000 from the CEO,
as discussed in Note 6, to pay down the original line of credit. The line of
credit had a termination date of July 1, 1998. The line of credit bears interest
at the bank's base rate (8.25% as of February 28, 1998 and 1997) plus 1/2%. A
commitment fee of 1/2% is charged on the unused portion of the line of credit.
Borrowings under the line of credit are limited by eligible accounts receivable
and inventory, as defined. Total amount available under the lines of credit was
approximately $2,521,000 as of February 28, 1998. The outstanding balance on the
line was $5,279,000 as of February 28, 1998. The Agreement contains affirmative
and negative covenants including requirements related to tangible net worth,
indebtedness to tangible net worth, cash flow coverage, and restricts dividend
payments, capital expenditures and acquisitions. Substantially all of the
Company's retained earnings are restricted based upon these covenants.
F-12
<PAGE>
Video Display Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Subsequent to February 28, 1998, the Company amended its line of credit with the
primary bank to extend the termination date to July 1, 2000 and to lower the
interest rate to a fixed rate of 7.25% per annum. The commitment fee of 1/2% on
the unused portion was also eliminated. All other terms remained the same as the
original line of credit. The Company does not anticipate problems renewing the
line of credit with the secondary bank.
NOTE 6. NOTES PAYABLE TO SHAREHOLDERS
During fiscal 1998, the Company borrowed $2,800,000 from the CEO in conjunction
with the bank refinancing as discussed in Note 5. During 1997, the Company
borrowed $900,000 from the CEO to purchase the assets of Teltron Technologies,
Inc. Both of these borrowings were combined into one note payable due on demand
with interest payable monthly at prime plus one percent. During fiscal 1998,
$800,000 was repaid. Subsequent to February 28, 1998, the Company repaid an
additional $1,600,000.
In fiscal 1997, the Company had a $320,000 demand note payable to a shareholder
and officer of the Company. That note was repaid in full during fiscal 1998.
NOTE 7. STOCK OPTIONS
The Company has an incentive stock option plan whereby total options to purchase
500,000 shares may be granted to key employees at a price not less than fair
market value at the time the options are granted and are exercisable beginning
on the first anniversary of the grant date for a period not to exceed ten years.
Information regarding the option plan is as follows:

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the years ended
February 28, 1998 and 1997 were $44,000 and $197,000, respectively. The weighted
average remaining life of options outstanding at February 28, 1998 and 1997 was
7.7 years. The range of exercise prices was $2.00 to $10.25. As of February 28,
1998 and 1997, options for 257,000 and 227,000 shares, respectively, were
exercisable.
The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". Accordingly, no compensation cost has
been recognized for stock options granted. Had

compensation cost been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for
awards in 1998, 1997 and 1996, consistent with the provisions of the Standard,
the Company's net earnings and earnings per share would have changed as
indicated by the pro forma amounts below:

NOTE 10. CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
The Company issued $2,000,000 in face value, 8% five year convertible
subordinated debentures in payment of the acquisition of the stock of Z-Axis.
The debentures can be converted at the holder's option into common shares based
upon the quoted fair market value on the date such conversion is elected. An
additional amount of debentures may be due based upon a performance contingency
formula during the years ending 1997, 1998 and 1999. Z-Axis did not meet the
performance contingency for fiscal years ended 1998 and 1997. During 1998,
$225,000 of these debentures were partially converted into common shares, with
the remainder redeemed for cash of $75,000.
NOTE 11. BENEFIT PLAN
The Company has a defined contribution plan that covers substantially all U.S.
employees. Employees may contribute up to 15% of their compensation, as allowed
by IRS regulations. At the Company's discretion, employee contributions of up to
8% of their compensation can be matched at 50% by the Company. The
