                          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 September 30, 2000, and the results of its operations
         and its cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.
         These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
         statements and footnotes included in the fiscal 2000 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 has adopted SFAS No. 133 in the quarter
         ended September 30, 2000, however there was no impact on the
         consolidated financial statements because the Company has no derivative
         or hedging 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

         months ended September 30, 2000, and 1999, 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.

           periods ended September 30, 2000 were not included in the computation
           of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price was greater
           than the average market value of the common shares.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

         Net sales of $52,304,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 decreased
18% from fiscal 2000 first quarter net sales of $64,014,000. Commercial /
Industrial Lighting Group net sales decreased 13% and Image Group net sales
decreased 21% in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 as compared to the prior year.
About half of the decrease in the Commercial / Industrial Lighting Group is
attributed to a wire harness program with no repeat sales since the second
quarter of fiscal 2000. The remaining decrease in Commercial / Industrial
Lighting was from both interior and exterior lighting, much of which the Company
believes is attributable to strategic changes in several territories to new
independent representative sales agencies during the past twelve months. The
decrease in Image Group net sales is attributed primarily to softness in the
petroleum / convenience store market. Net sales to this significant market
continued to be adversely impacted by the temporary affects of mergers of major
petroleum companies. The Company believes it is likely that net sales in the
first two quarters of fiscal year 2001 could remain near the level of the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2000 until various customers begin to implement and roll out
their re-image programs. Net sales of the Image Group to the petroleum /
convenience store market represented 37% of total net sales in the first
quarters of both fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000. Sales to this market declined 19%
in the first quarter as compared to the period last year. While sales prices
were increased, inflation did not have a significant impact on sales in the
first quarter of fiscal 2001 as competitive pricing pressures held price
increases to a minimum.

         Gross profit of $16,592,000 decreased 21% from last year's gross profit
of $21,095,000, and decreased as a percentage of net sales to 31.7% in the first
quarter of fiscal year 2001 as compared to 33.0% in the prior year. The decrease
in amount of gross profit is due primarily to the 18% decrease in net sales.
Selling and administrative expenses decreased 4% to $12,074,000 from
$12,605,000. The decrease was caused primarily by decreased net sales. As a
percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses were at 23.1% in
first quarter of fiscal 2001 as compared to 19.7% in the prior year. The Company
continued the task of converting its business operating software and systems
company-wide. Total implementation costs expensed were $180,000 ($0.01 per
share, diluted) in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 as compared to $58,000 in
the fiscal 2000 first quarter. Expenditures at approximately this level are
expected to continue for the remainder of fiscal 2001.

         The Company reported net interest income of $364,000 in fiscal 2001 as
compared to net interest income of $163,000 in fiscal 2000 primarily reflective
of an increased amount of short-term cash investments at slightly increased
rates of return, and more short term borrowings during the fiscal 2000 first
quarter. The Company's effective tax rate increased to 39.0% in fiscal 2001 as
compared to 38.1% in fiscal 2000 primarily due to increased state and local
income tax expense.

         Net Income of $2,981,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 decreased
44% from $5,357,000 in the same period last year. The decreased net income
resulted from decreased gross profit on decreased net sales, partially offset by
decreased selling and administrative expenses, decreased income tax expense, and
from the reporting of a larger amount of net interest income in fiscal 2001 as
compared to 2000. Diluted earnings per share of $0.29 in the first quarter of
fiscal 2001 decreased 44% from $0.52 per share reported in the same period last
year. The weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of computing
diluted earnings per share increased 1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 to
10,435,000 shares from 10,361,000 shares in 2000 primarily as a result of common
shares issued for the exercise of stock options during the year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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

         At September 30, 2000 the Company had working capital of $62.1 million,
compared to $61.1 million at June 30, 2000. The ratio of current assets to
current liabilities increased to 3.60 to 1 from 3.36 to 1. The increased working
capital is primarily attributed to increased inventories, and decreased accounts
payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by reductions in cash and other
current assets.

         The Company generated $1.9 million of cash from operating activities in
the first quarter of fiscal 2001 as compared to $2.4 million in same period of
fiscal 2000. The decrease in net cash flows from operating activities in fiscal
2001 is primarily the net result of a decrease in net income, partially offset
by a decrease in accounts receivable and less of an increase in inventories. The
decrease in accounts receivable is primarily the result of lower sales volume in
the first quarter of fiscal 2001 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal
2000. As of September 30, 2000, the Company's days sales outstanding were at
approximately 61 days, increased from 55 days at June 30, 2000 due to slower
collection cycles from several customers.

         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 November 1, 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 2003 with
an annual renewal in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001. The Company believes
that the total of available lines of credit plus cash flows from operating
activities is adequate for the Company's fiscal 2001 operational and capital
expenditure needs. The Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants.
Capital expenditures of $2.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compare
to $2.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2000. Spending in fiscal year 2001
was primarily related to expansion of the Company's facilities, and to
capitalization of Company-wide enterprise resource planning software and related
implementation costs. Capital expenditures totaling approximately $7 million are
planned for fiscal 2001, exclusive of business acquisitions.

         On October 26, 2000 the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly
cash dividend of $0.085 per share (approximately $876,000), to be paid November
14, 2000 to shareholders of record on November 7, 2000. During the first quarter
of fiscal 2000, the Company paid cash dividends in the amount of $1.3 million,
down from the $1.5 million paid in the same period of fiscal 2000.

         The Company has announced that it has agreed to acquire substantially
all of the net assets of Lightron of Cornwall, Inc. in a transaction that is
expected to close in mid-November 2000 for cash plus assumption of certain
liabilities. Lightron, with net sales of approximately $25 million, is engaged
in the business of designing, manufacturing, and selling a high-end of
fluorescent, metal halide, halogen, recessed, surface, high bay and track
lighting fixtures, and LED exit signs for the commercial, industrial and retail
markets. The Company also announced that it has entered into a letter of intent
to purchase all of the assets and business of ADaPT Engineering, Inc. The
purchase price is approximately $4.5 million in cash and LSI Industries common
stock, and in addition the assumption of certain liabilities and a contingent
cash "earn-out" provided certain minimum earnings thresholds are exceeded.
ADaPT, with sales of

approximately $5 million, is a multi-discipline service firm primarily focused
on the retail petroleum / convenience store branded image programs, as well as
other national retail customers. The acquisition is expected to be completed in
December 2000.

         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.
