<PAGE>
On February 17, 1999, Daktronics was sued in the circuit court of
Hillsborough County, Florida by the Buccaneers Football Stadium Limited
Partnership, an affiliated company of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers football team.
The lawsuit alleges that the quality of the video displays installed at Raymond
James Stadium in Tampa, Florida does not meet the contract requirements. The
lawsuit seeks either to rescind the contract under which Daktronics furnished
the scoring and display equipment for the Stadium and obtain the return of all
funds paid or to obtain damages for breach of contract. The Tampa Sports
Authority owns Raymond James Stadium and is not a plaintiff in the action.
The contract, valued at approximately $7.9 million, included two
large end zone scoreboards with video displays, sideline auxiliary scoreboards,
advertising panels and installation. Daktronics has received approximately $3.1
million in payments under the contract and has unpaid invoices outstanding in
the amount of approximately $2.9 million. In addition, the plaintiff is in
default on a payment in the amount of $257,347 under a promissory note to
Daktronics as part of the contract. Daktronics believes these payments have been
unreasonably withheld and intends to file a counterclaim for these payments,
related interest and acceleration of remaining payments under the promissory
note.

ITEM 2. FINANCIAL REVIEW
(Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations)
The following discussion highlights the principal factors affecting
changes in financial condition and results of operations.
This review should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
GENERAL
The Company designs, manufactures and sells a wide range of
computer-programmable information display systems to customers in a variety of
markets throughout the world. The Company focuses its sales and marketing
efforts on markets rather than products. Major categories of markets include
Sports, Business and Government.
The Company's net sales and profitability historically have
fluctuated due to the impact of large product orders, such as display systems
for the Olympic Games and major league sports, as well as the seasonality of the
sports market. The Company's gross margins on large product orders tend to
fluctuate more than those for small standard orders. Large product orders that
involve competitive bidding and substantial subcontract work for product
installation generally have lower gross margins. Although the Company follows
the percentage of completion method of recognizing revenues for these large
orders, the Company nevertheless has experienced fluctuations in operating
results and expects that its future results of operations may be subject to
similar fluctuations.
The Company operates on a 52-53 week fiscal year, with fiscal years
ending on the Saturday closest to April 30 of each year. The first three
quarters end on the Saturday closest to July 31, October 31 and January 31
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth the percentage of net sales
represented by items included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of
Operations for the periods indicated:

<PAGE>
NET SALES
Net sales were $17.7 million and $64.2 million for the three and
nine months ended January 30, 1999, compared to $17.2 million and $49.9 million
for the three and nine months ended January 31, 1998, representing an increase
of 3% for the three month period and an increase of 29% for the nine month
period. The increase in net sales for the three and nine month periods was the
result of increased sales in most of the sport niche markets. The Company also
experienced an increase in sales volume of smaller orders in the sports and
business markets over the same periods.
Based on current backlog and customer quotations, the Company
believes that net sales for the last three months of fiscal year 1999 will be
similar to and may exceed the last three months of fiscal year 1998.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit increased 7% from $4.6 million for the three months
ended January 31, 1998 to $5.0 million for the three months ended January 30,
1999. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 27.0% for the three months
ended January 31, 1998 compared to 28.1% for the three months ended January 30,
1999.
Gross profit increased 29% from $13.5 million for the nine months
ended January 31, 1998 to $17.4 million for the nine months ended January 30,
1999. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 27% for the nine months
ended January 31, 1998 and January 30, 1999.
Due in part to the impact of large orders and the amount of
subcontracting work associated with installation of these products, the Company
expects that its gross profit margin will continue to fluctuate in future
periods.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Selling expenses increased from $2.3 million for the three months
ended January 31, 1998, to $2.7 million for the three months ended January 30,
1999. Selling expenses increased from $6.8 million for the nine months ended
January 31, 1998 to $8.4 million for the nine months ended January 30, 1999. The
increases were due primarily to the addition of sales staff and increased
selling activity.
General and administrative expenses decreased from $828,000 for the
three months ended January 31, 1998 to $724,000 for the three months ended
January 30, 1999. General and administrative expenses increased from $2.3
million for the nine months ended January 31, 1998 to $2.6 million for the nine
months ended January 30, 1999.
Product design and development was $500,000 and $1.7 million for the
three and nine months ended January 31, 1998 and $933,000 and $2.6 million for
the three and nine months ended January 30, 1999. The Company continues to make
improvements on existing products and develops new products for use in current
and potential markets. The major emphasis in the current fiscal year has been
the continued development of the ProStar(TM) Video Plus displays.
INTEREST INCOME
The Company occasionally sells products on an installment basis or
in exchange for advertising revenues from the scoreboard or display, both which
result in long-term receivables. Interest income increased from $155,000 and
$411,000 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 1998 to $221,000 and
$514,000 for the three and nine months ended January 30, 1999. The increase was
due to higher average balances of long-term receivables.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense was $149,000 and $361,000 for the three and nine
month periods ended January 31, 1998 and $255,000 and $674,000 for the three and
nine months ended January 30, 1999. The increase was due to an increase in
average loan balances.
10
<PAGE>
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes was 38%
and 40% for the nine months ended January 31, 1998 and January 30, 1999
respectively
NET INCOME
Net income was $358,000 for the three months ended January 30, 1999
compared to $693,000 for the three months ended January 31, 1998. The decrease
for the three months was due primarily to an increase in operating expenses
without a corresponding increase in Sales. Net income for the nine months ended
January 30, 1999 was $2.3 million compared to net income of $1.8 million for the
nine months ended January 31, 1998. The increase for the nine months was due to
increased net sales. Management believes that one of the principal factors that
will affect net sales and income growth is the Company's ability to increase the
marketing of its products in existing markets and expand the marketing of its
products to new markets.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital was $14.5 million at January 30, 1999 and $12.2
million at May 2, 1998. Working capital provided by net income, depreciation and
amortization, and $5.0 million in additional long-term debt was offset by
purchases of property and equipment and repayment of long-term debt. The Company
has historically financed working capital needs through a combination of cash
flow from operations and borrowings under bank credit agreements.
Cash used by operations for the nine months ended January 30, 1999
was $4.5 million. Net income of $2.3 million plus depreciation and amortization
of $1.5 million were offset by an increase in inventories and receivables
including costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted
contracts. Cash used by investing activities consisted primarily of $3.2 million
of purchases of property and equipment. Cash provided from financing activities
included $3.1 million net borrowings under the Company's line of credit,
borrowings under a long-term financing agreement of $5.0 million and $94,000 in
proceeds from the exercise of stock options. Cash used for financing activities
consisted of $614,000 of repayment of long-term debt.
The Company has used and expects to continue to use cash reserves
and bank borrowings to meet its short-term working capital requirements. On
large product orders, the time between acceptance and completion may extend up
to 12 months depending on the amount of custom work and the customer's delivery
needs. The Company often receives a down payment or progress payments on these
product orders. To the extent that these payments are not sufficient to fund the
costs and other expenses associated with these orders, the Company uses working
capital and bank borrowings to finance these cash requirements.
The Company's product development activities include the enhancement
of existing products and the development of new products from existing
technologies. Product development expenses were $1.7 million for the nine months
ended January 31, 1998 and $2.6 million for the nine months ended January 30,
1999. The Company intends to continue to incur these expenditures to develop new
display products using various display technologies to offer higher resolution,
and more cost effective and energy efficient displays. Daktronics also intends
to continue developing software applications for its display controllers to
enable these products to continue to meet the needs and expectations of the
marketplace.
The Company has a credit agreement with a bank. The credit agreement
provides for a $15.0 million line of credit which includes up to $2.0 million
for standby letters of credit. The line of credit is at LIBOR rate plus 1.55%
(6.488% at January 30, 1999) and is due on October 1, 2001. As of January 30,
1999, $8.7 million had been drawn on the line of credit and no standby letters
of credit had been issued by the bank. The credit agreement is unsecured and
requires the Company to meet certain covenants. Financial covenants include the
maintenance of tangible net worth of at least $23 million, a minimum liquidity
ratio and a maximum ratio of liabilities to tangible net worth.
11
<PAGE>
The Company is sometimes required to obtain performance bonds for
display installations. The Company currently has a bonding line available
through an insurance company that provides for an aggregate of $25.0 million in
bonded work outstanding. At January 30, 1999, the Company had $19.5 million of
bonded work outstanding against this line.
The Company believes that if its growth continues, it may need to
increase the amount of its credit facility. The Company anticipates that it will
be able to obtain any needed funds under commercially reasonable terms from its
current lender. The Company believes that cash from operations, from its
existing or increased credit facility, and its current working capital will be
adequate to meet the cash requirements of its operations in the foreseeable
future.
BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
A number of risks and uncertainties exist which could impact the
Company's future operating results. These uncertainties include, but are not
limited to, general economic conditions, competition, the Company's success in
developing new products and technologies, market acceptance of new products, and
other factors, including those set forth in the Company's SEC filings, including
its current report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 2, 1998.
YEAR 2000 ISSUES
Many existing computer programs use only two digits to identify a
year in the date field, with the result that data referring to the Year 2000 and
subsequent years may be misinterpreted by these programs. If present in the
computer applications of the Company or its suppliers and not corrected, this
problem could cause computer applications to fail or to create erroneous results
and could cause a disruption in operations and have an adverse effect on the
Company's business and results of operations. The Company has evaluated its
principal computer systems and is in the process of implementation of new
enterprise resource planning software which will be fully operational in fiscal
1999 and has been represented by the vendor to be Year 2000 compliant. The cost
of the new software will be capitalized. The Company has initiated discussions
with its key suppliers to determine whether they have any Year 2000 issues. At
this time the Company has not received assurances from all critical vendors. The
Company has not incurred any material expenses to date in connection with this
evaluation, and does not anticipate material expenses in the future, depending
on the status of its key suppliers with respect to this issue. The Company has
reviewed its computer programs which it includes in its display systems and has
started to implement changes to be Year 2000 compliant. The Company has
determined that the cost of these modifications will not have a material impact
on the result of operations in upcoming fiscal years.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Accounting
Standards Executive Committee have issued certain Statements of Financial
Accounting Standards and Statements of Position, respectively, which have
required effective dates occurring after the Company's May 2, 1998 year end. The
Company's financial statements, including the disclosures therein, are not
expected to be materially affected by those accounting pronouncements.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
On February 17, 1999, Daktronics was sued in the circuit court of
Hillsborough County, Florida by the Buccaneers Football Stadium Limited
Partnership, an affiliated company of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers football team.
The lawsuit alleges that the quality of the video displays installed at Raymond
James Stadium in Tampa, Florida does not meet the contract requirements. The
lawsuit seeks either to rescind the contract under which Daktronics furnished
the scoring and display equipment for the Stadium and obtain the return of all

Authority owns Raymond James Stadium and is not a plaintiff in the action.
The contract, valued at approximately $7.9 million, included two
large end zone scoreboards with video displays, sideline auxiliary scoreboards,
advertising panels and installation. Daktronics has received approximately $3.1
million in payments under the contract and has unpaid invoices outstanding in
the amount of approximately $2.9 million. In addition, the plaintiff is in
