                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (Unaudited)


NOTE 1:  INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The interim financial statements are unaudited and are prepared in
         accordance with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
         Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
         included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
         accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant
         to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of Management, the
         interim financial statements include all normal adjustments and
         disclosures necessary to present fairly the Company's financial
         position as of December 31, 1999, and the results of its operations and
         its cash flows for the periods ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. These
         statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
         and footnotes included in the fiscal 1999 annual report.

NOTE 2:  RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
         of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS No. 133), "Accounting
         for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes
         standards for reporting and disclosure of derivative and hedging
         instruments. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
         June 15, 2000. The Company will not be affected by this new standard
         because the Company has no derivative or hedging financial instruments.

NOTE 3:  BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

         LSI operates in two business segments - the Image Group and the
         Commercial/Industrial Lighting Group. The Image Group manufactures
         and sells exterior and interior visual image elements (lighting,
         graphics, and menu board systems) for the petroleum/convenience store
         market and for multi-site retail operations. The Image Group includes
         the operations of LSI Petroleum Lighting, LSI Automotive, LSI Images,
         LSI Metal Fabrication, SGI Integrated Graphic Systems, Grady McCauley,
         and LSI Retail Graphics. The Commercial/Industrial Lighting Group
         manufactures and sells primarily outdoor, indoor, and landscape
         lighting for the commercial/industrial and multi-site retail markets.
         The Commercial/Industrial Lighting Group includes the operations of
         LSI Lighting Systems, Courtsider Lighting, Greenlee Lighting, LSI
         Marcole, and LSI MidWest Lighting. The Company's most significant

         39% and 45% of net sales concentrated in this market in the three
         months ended December 31, 1999, and 1998, respectively, and
         approximately 38% and 46% of net sales concentrated in this market in
         the six months ended December 31, 1999, and 1998, respectively.

Operating income of the business segments includes sales less all operating
expenses including allocations of corporate expense, but excluding interest
expense. Sales between business segments are immaterial.

Identifiable assets are those assets used by each segment in its operations,
including allocations of shared assets. Corporate assets consist primarily of
cash and cash equivalents, and refundable income taxes.

                  price was greater than the average market value of the common
                  shares.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER
31, 1998

         Net sales of $62,967,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 increased
12% over fiscal 1999 second quarter net sales of $56,059,000. Results of the
Image Group in fiscal 2000 include the operations of LSI Retail Graphics
(acquired April 1999; approximately 2% of net sales in the second quarter of
fiscal 2000). Results of the Commercial/Industrial Lighting Group include the
operations of LSI MidWest Lighting (acquired January 1999; approximately 7% of
net sales in fiscal 2000). Commercial/Industrial Lighting Group net sales
increased 30% and Image Group net sales increased 5% in the second quarter of
fiscal 2000 as compared to the prior year. The increase in the Commercial/
Industrial Lighting Group net sales resulted primarily from the inclusion of the
results of LSI MidWest Lighting and from increased sales of electrical wire
harnesses. The increase in Image Group net sales is attributed primarily to
growth in the Company's menu board system business and interior graphics, as
well as to the inclusion of the results of LSI Retail Graphics, partially offset
by reduced exterior graphics and petroleum lighting. The Company's exterior
graphics and petroleum lighting sales volume, both components of the Image
Group, were each down approximately 4% as compared to the prior year. Second
quarter net sales of the Image Group to the petroleum/convenience store market
represented 39% and 45% of net sales in fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999,
respectively. While sales prices were increased, inflation did not have a
significant impact on sales in 2000 as competitive pricing pressures held price
increases to a minimum.

         Gross profit of $21,747,000 increased 10% over last year's gross profit
of $19,759,000, and decreased as a percentage of net sales to 34.5% in fiscal
year 2000 as compared to 35.3% in the prior year. The increase in amount of
gross profit is due primarily to the 12% increase in net sales. The decrease in
gross profit percentage is primarily related to lower margins from the lighting
business that was acquired at the beginning of the second half of fiscal 1999.
Selling and administrative expenses increased to $12,798,000 from $12,360,000
primarily as a result of the additional expenses from the acquired businesses,
partially offset by reduced costs in the areas of bad debt provision, warranty
costs, and incentive compensation. As a percentage of net sales, selling and
administrative expenses were at 20.3% in fiscal 2000 as compared to 22.0% in the
prior year.

         The Company reported net interest income of $173,000 in the second
quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared to net interest income of $138,000 in the
second quarter of fiscal 1999 primarily reflective of an increased amount of
short-term cash investments. The Company's effective tax rate increased to 38.1%
in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared to 37.9% in fiscal 1999
primarily due to increased provision of state and local income tax.

         Net income of $5,646,000 increased 21% over $4,668,000 in the second
quarter of fiscal 1999. The increased net income resulted from increased gross
profit on higher net sales, partially offset by increased operating expenses and
income taxes. Diluted earnings per share of $0.55 increased 17% in the second
quarter of fiscal 2000 from $0.47 per share in fiscal 1999. The weighted average
common shares outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share
increased 4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 to 10,308,000 shares from
9,873,000 shares in 1999 primarily as a result of common shares issued to
acquire businesses and the exercise of stock options during the year.

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1998

         Net sales of $126,981,000 in the first half of fiscal 2000 increased
16% over fiscal 1999 first half net sales of $109,473,000. Results of the Image
Group in fiscal 2000 include the operations of LSI Retail Graphics (acquired
April 1999; less than 2% of net sales in the first half of fiscal 2000). Results
of the Commercial/Industrial Lighting Group include the operations of LSI
MidWest Lighting (acquired January 1999; approximately 7% of net sales in fiscal
2000). Commercial/Industrial Lighting Group net sales increased 35% and Image
Group net sales increased 8% in the first half of fiscal 2000 as compared to the
prior year. The increase in the Commercial/Industrial Lighting Group net sales
resulted primarily from the inclusion of the results of LSI MidWest Lighting and
from increased sales of electrical wire harnesses. The increase in Image Group
net sales is attributed primarily to growth in the Company's menu board system
business and interior graphics, as well as to the inclusion of the results of
LSI Retail Graphics. The Company's exterior graphics sales volume and petroleum
lighting sales volume, both components of the Image Group, were down
approximately 6% and 2%, respectively, as compared to the prior year. Net sales
of the Image Group to the petroleum/convenience store market represented 38%
and 46% of net sales in the first half of fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999,
respectively. While sales prices were increased, inflation did not have a
significant impact on sales in 2000 as competitive pricing pressures held price
increases to a minimum.

         Gross profit of $42,842,000 increased 13% over last year's gross profit
of $37,993,000, and decreased as a percentage of net sales to 33.7% in fiscal
year 2000 as compared to 34.7% in the prior year. The increase in amount of
gross profit is due primarily to the 16% increase in net sales. The decrease in
gross profit percentage is primarily related to lower margins from the lighting
business that was acquired at the beginning of the second half of fiscal 1999.
Selling and administrative expenses increased to $25,403,000 from $24,333,000
primarily as a result of the addition of the acquired businesses, partially
offset by reduced costs in the areas of bad debt provision, warranty costs,
incentive compensation, and selling costs of a product line that experienced a
significant increase in net sales. As a percentage of net sales, selling and
administrative expenses were at 20.0% in fiscal 2000 as compared to 22.2% in the
prior year.

         The Company reported net interest income of $336,000 in the first half
of fiscal 2000 as compared to net interest income of $212,000 in the first half
of fiscal 1999 primarily reflective of an increased amount of short-term cash
investments. The Company's effective tax rate increased to 38.1% in the first
half of fiscal 2000 as compared to 37.9% in fiscal 1999 primarily due to
increased provision of state and local income tax.

         Net income of $11,003,000 increased 28% over $8,580,000 in the first
half of fiscal 1999. The increased net income resulted from increased gross
profit on higher net sales, and from the reporting of a larger amount of net
interest income in fiscal 2000 as compared to 1999, partially offset by
increased operating expenses and income taxes. Diluted earnings per share of
$1.07 increased 23% in the first half of fiscal 2000 from $0.87 per share in
fiscal 1999. The weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of
computing diluted earnings per share increased 5% in the first half of fiscal
2000 to 10,315,000 shares from 9,864,000 shares in 1999 primarily as a result of
common shares issued to acquire businesses and the exercise of stock options
during the year.

         See Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for
discussion of certain recently issued accounting pronouncements and their
affect, if any, on the Company's future financial statements and/or disclosures.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company considers its level of cash on hand, its current ratio and
its working capital levels to be its most important measures of short-term
liquidity. For long-term liquidity indicators, the Company believes its ratio of
long-term debt to equity and its historical levels of net cash flows from
operating activities to be the most important measures.

         At December 31, 1999 the Company had working capital of $56.8 million,
compared to $49.6 million at June 30, 1999. The ratio of current assets to
current liabilities increased to 3.54 to 1 from 2.56 to 1. The increased working
capital is primarily attributed to increased cash and inventory, and decreased
accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by a reduction in
accounts receivable.

         The Company generated $9.1 million of cash from operating activities in
the first half of fiscal 2000 as compared to $7.3 million in the first half of
fiscal 1999. The increase in net cash flows from operating activities in the
first half of fiscal 2000 is primarily the net result of increased net income,
and a larger decrease in accounts receivable, partially offset by a larger
decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses. As of December 31, 1999, the
Company's days sales outstanding were at approximately 54 days, level with the
June 30, 1999 statistic.

         In addition to cash generated from operations, the Company's primary
source of liquidity continues to be its lines of credit. The Company has two
unsecured revolving lines of credit totaling $32 million, all of which was
available as of January 28, 2000. A $12 million line of credit expires in the
third quarter of fiscal 2001. The primary line of credit in the amount of $20
million is a three year committed credit facility expiring in fiscal 2002 with
an annual renewal in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. The Company believes
that the total of available lines of credit plus cash flows from operating
activities is adequate for the Company's fiscal 2000 operational and capital
expenditure needs. The Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants.
Capital expenditures of $4.8 million in the first half of fiscal 2000 compare to
$1.3 million in the prior year's first half. Spending in fiscal year 2000 was
primarily related to capitalization of Company-wide enterprise resource planning
software and related implementation costs, expansion of the Company's Cincinnati
facilities, equipment, and tooling for new products. Capital expenditures
totaling approximately $8 million are planned for fiscal 2000, exclusive of
business acquisitions.

     On January 24, 2000 the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of
$0.08 per share (approximately $816,000) to be paid February 15, 2000 to
shareholders of record on February 8, 2000. Cash dividends paid in the first
half of fiscal 2000 totaled $2.3 million, a 24% increase over the $1.9 million
paid in the first half of fiscal 1999.

     The Company encountered no serious problems with respect to year 2000
programming deficiencies. Systems and equipment critical to operation of the
business operated properly in calendar year 2000. No problems with major
suppliers or customers were encountered with respect to year 2000 programming
deficiencies.

<PAGE>   13
     The Company continues to seek opportunities to invest in new products and
markets, and in acquisitions which fit its strategic growth plans in the
lighting and graphics markets. The Company believes that adequate financing for
any such investments or acquisitions will be available through future
borrowings or through the issuance of common or preferred shares in payment for
acquired businesses.
