NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, and 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, 2025, the results of its operations for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, and its cash flows for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025, and 2024. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes included in the fiscal 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Financial information as of June 30, 2025, has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Consolidation:
A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company’s fiscal 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies the performance obligation in its customer contracts or purchase orders. Most of the Company’s products have a single performance obligation which is satisfied at a point in time when control is transferred to the customer. Control is generally transferred at the time of shipment when title and risk of ownership passes to the customer. For customer contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price and any discounts to each performance obligation based on relative standalone selling prices. Payment terms are typically within 30 to 90 days from the shipping date, depending on the terms with the customer. The Company offers standard warranties that do not represent separate performance obligations.
Installation is a separate performance obligation, except for the Company’s digital signage products. For digital signage products, installation is not a separate performance obligation as the product and installation is the combined item promised in digital signage contracts. The Company is not always responsible for installation of products it sells and has no post-installation responsibilities other than standard warranties.
A number of the Company's display solutions and select lighting products are customized for specific customers. As a result, these customized products do not have an alternative use. For these products, the Company has a legal right to payment for performance to date and generally does not accept returns on these items. The measurement of performance is based upon cost plus a reasonable profit margin for work completed. Because there is no alternative use and there is a legal right to payment, the Company transfers control of the item as the item is being produced and therefore recognizes revenue over time. The customized product types are as follows:
|
● |
Customer specific metal and millwork branded products and branded print graphics |
|
● |
Electrical components based on customer specifications |
|
● |
Digital signage and related media content |
The Company also offers installation services for its display solutions elements and select lighting products. Installation revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided through the installation process.
For these customized products and installation services, revenue is recognized using a cost-based input method: recognizing revenue and gross profit as work is performed based on the relationship between the actual cost incurred and the total estimated cost for the performance obligation.
On occasion, the Company enters into bill-and-hold arrangements on a limited basis. Each bill-and-hold arrangement is reviewed and revenue is recognized only when certain criteria have been met: (1) the customer has requested delayed delivery and storage of the products by the Company because the customer wants to secure a supply of the products but lacks storage space; (ii) the risk of ownership has passed to the customer; (iii) the products are segregated from the Company’s other inventory items held for sale; (iv) the products are ready for shipment to the customer; and (v) the Company does not have the ability to use the products or direct them to another customer.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company disaggregates the revenue from contracts with customers by the timing of revenue recognition because the Company believes it best depicts the nature, amount, and timing of its revenue and cash flows. The table below presents a reconciliation of the disaggregation by reportable segments:

Practical Expedients and Exemptions
|
● |
The Company’s contracts with customers have an expected duration of one year or less, as such, the Company applies the practical expedient to expense sales commissions as incurred and has omitted disclosures on the amount of remaining performance obligations. |
|
● |
Shipping costs that are not material in context of the delivery of products are expensed as incurred. |
|
● |
The Company’s accounts receivable balance represents the Company’s unconditional right to receive payment from its customers with contracts. Payments are generally due within 30 to 90 days of completion of the performance obligation and invoicing; therefore, payments do not contain significant financing components. |
|
● |
The Company collects sales tax and other taxes concurrent with revenue-producing activities which are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs are treated as fulfillment activities and included in cost of products and services sold on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
New Accounting Pronouncements:
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This ASU amends the disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC's removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. The Company will monitor the removal of various requirements from the current regulations in order to determine when to adopt the related amendments, but it does not anticipate that the adoption of the new guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires additional disclosures of various income tax components that affect the rate reconciliation based on the applicable taxing jurisdictions, as well as the qualitative and quantitative aspects of those components. The standard also requires information pertaining to taxes paid to be disaggregated for federal, state and foreign taxes, and contains other disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 4 - SEGMENT REPORTING INFORMATION
The accounting guidance on Segment Reporting establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information of those segments to be presented in financial statements. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or “CODM”) in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s operating segments are Lighting and Display Solutions, with one executive team under the organizational structure reporting directly to the CODM with responsibilities for managing each segment. Corporate and Eliminations, which captures the Company’s corporate administrative activities, is also reported in the segment information.
The Company’s method for measuring profitability on a reportable segment basis and used by the CODM to assess performance is adjusted operating income and adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization, along with other non-GAAP adjustments (adjusted EBITDA). These measurements are used to monitor performance compared to prior periods and forecasted results.
The Lighting Segment includes non-residential outdoor and indoor lighting fixtures utilizing LED light sources that have been fabricated and assembled for the Company’s markets, primarily the refueling and convenience store markets, parking lot and garage markets, quick-service restaurant market, retail and grocery store markets, the automotive market, the warehouse market, and the sports court and field market. The Company also services lighting product customers through the commercial and industrial project, stock and flow, and renovation channels. In addition to the manufacture and sale of lighting fixtures, the Company offers a variety of lighting controls to complement its lighting fixtures which include sensors, photocontrols, dimmers, motion detection and Bluetooth systems. The Lighting Segment also includes the design, engineering and manufacturing of electronic circuit boards, assemblies and sub-assemblies which are sold directly to customers.

NOTE 8 - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The carrying values of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed at least annually for possible impairment. The Company may first assess qualitative factors in order to determine if goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired. If through the qualitative assessment it is determined that it is more likely than not that goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are not impaired, no further testing is required. If it is determined more likely than not that goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are impaired, or if the Company elects not to first assess qualitative factors, the Company’s impairment testing continues with the estimation of the fair value of the reporting unit using a combination of a market approach and an income (discounted cash flow) approach, at the reporting unit level. The estimation of the fair value of the reporting unit requires significant management judgment with respect to revenue and expense growth rates, changes in working capital and the selection and use of an appropriate discount rate. The estimates of the fair value of reporting units are based on the best information available as of the date of the assessment. The use of different assumptions would increase or decrease estimated discounted future operating cash flows and could increase or decrease an impairment charge. Company management uses its judgment in assessing whether assets may have become impaired between annual impairment tests. Indicators such as adverse business conditions, economic factors and technological change or competitive activities may signal that an asset has become impaired.
The Company identified its reporting units in conjunction with its annual goodwill impairment testing. The Company has a total of reporting units that contain goodwill. reporting unit is within the Lighting Segment and reporting units are within the Display Solutions Segment. The tradename intangible assets have an indefinite life and are also tested separately on an annual basis. The Company relies upon a number of factors, judgments and estimates when conducting its impairment testing including, but not limited to, the Company’s stock price, operating results, forecasts, anticipated future cash flows, and marketplace data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and judgments in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment.
The following table presents information about the Company's goodwill on the dates or for the periods indicated:

NOTE 14 - LEASES
The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities along with a small office space, several forklifts, several small tooling items, and various items of office equipment. All but two of the Company’s leases are operating leases. Leases have a remaining term of to years some of which have an option to renew. The Company does not assume renewals in determining the lease term unless the renewals are deemed reasonably certain. The lease agreements do not contain any material residual guarantees or material variable lease payments.
The Company has periodically entered into short-term operating leases with an initial term of twelve months or less. The Company elected not to record these leases on the balance sheet. The rent expense for these leases was immaterial for September 30, 2025, and 2024.
The Company has certain leases that contain lease and non-lease components and has elected to utilize the practical expedient to account for these components together as a single lease component.
Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company used its incremental borrowing rate when determining the present value of lease payments.

NOTE 15 – INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective income tax rate is based on expected income, statutory rates, and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates the annual income tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly income tax provision or benefit in accordance with the anticipated annual rate. The Company refines the estimates of the year's taxable income as new information becomes available, including actual year-to-date financial results. This continual estimation process often results in a change to the expected effective income tax rate for the year. When this occurs, the Company adjusts the income tax provision during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects the expected income tax rate. Significant judgment is required in determining the effective tax rate and in evaluating tax positions.

Net sales of $157.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, increased 14% as compared to net sales of $138.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Lighting segment net sales of $69.1 million increased 18% compared to prior year quarter net sales of $58.4 million. Strong Lighting t net sales were driven by the introduction of several new products and the Company’s ability to convert multiple competitor accounts to LSI. Net sales in the Display Solutions segment of $88.2 million increased 11% compared to the same quarter last year sales of $79.7 million. The increase in net sales in the Display Solutions segment is the result of continued steady demand in the refueling/c-store and grocery markets and from the acquisition of Canada’s Best Holdings which contributed $8.9 million of the quarter-over-quarter sales growth.
Operating income of $11.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, represents a 20% increase from operating income of $9.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024. Adjusted operating income, a Non-GAAP measure, was $14.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025, represents an 18% increase compared to $11.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures to U.S. GAAP measures. The increase in operating income is the result of an increase in net sales in both segments coupled with improved price realization and disciplined cost management.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This report includes adjustments to GAAP operating income, net income, and earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024. Operating income, net income, and earnings per share, which exclude the impact of long-term performance-based compensation expense, the amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, commercial growth opportunity expense, acquisition costs, the lease expense on the step-up basis of acquired leases, and restructuring and severance costs, are non-GAAP financial measures. We further note that while the amortization expense of acquired intangible assets is excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures, the revenue of the acquired companies is included in the measures, and the acquired assets contribute to the generation of revenue. We believe these non-GAAP measures will provide increased transparency to our core operating performance of the business. Also included in this report are non-GAAP financial measures, including Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA), Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow. We believe that these are useful as supplemental measures in assessing the operating performance of our business. These measures are used by our management, including our chief operating decision maker, to evaluate business results, and are frequently referenced by those who follow the Company. These non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, the non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations, in that they do not reflect all amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Therefore, these measures should be used only to evaluate our results in conjunction with corresponding GAAP measures. Below is a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to net income and earnings per share reported for the periods indicated along with the calculation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, and organic sales growth.

Display Solutions Segment net sales of $88.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025, increased 11% from net sales of $79.7 million in the same period in fiscal 2025. The increase in net sales in the Display Solutions segment is the result of favorable demand in the refueling/c-store and grocery markets and from the acquisition of Canada’s Best Holdings which contributed $8.9 million of the quarter-over-quarter sales growth.
Gross profit of $17.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025, increased 14% from the same period of fiscal 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2025, increased to 19.4% from 18.9% in the same period of fiscal 2025 impacted by favorable product and vertical market mix. The Company continues to maintain favorable program pricing and prudent cost management.
Operating expenses of $8.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025, increased 16% from the same period of fiscal 2025, primarily driven by the acquisition of CBH and by continued investment in commercial initiatives to drive growth.
Display Solutions Segment operating income of $8.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025, increased 12% from the same period of fiscal 2025. The increase in operating income was driven by the increase in net sales and an improvement in gross profit margin.

Lighting Segment net sales of $69.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025, increased 18% compared to net sales of $58.4 million in the same period in fiscal 2025. Strong Lighting net sales were driven by the introduction of several new products and the Company’s ability to convert multiple competitor accounts to LSI.
Gross profit of $23.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025, increased 25% from the same period of fiscal 2025 while gross profit as a percentage of sales improved from 31.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 to 33.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The improved gross margin reflects increased volume, but also the ability to successfully align selling prices with changes in material input costs.
Operating expenses of $14.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025, increased 14% from the same period of fiscal 2025, driven mostly by agent commission expense resulting from higher sales.
Lighting Segment operating income of $8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, increased 48% from operating income of $5.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2025 primarily driven by increased net sales and an improvement in gross profit margin.

The gross (loss) relates to the change in the intercompany profit in inventory elimination.
Operating expenses of $6.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025, increased from operating expenses of 4.3 in the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily the result of the investment in commercial initiatives to support the growth of the Company, including the cost associated with acquisitions, and performance related compensation programs.
Consolidated Results
The Company reported $0.7 million and $0.8 million of net interest expense in the three months ended September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024, respectively. The decrease in interest expense is the result of positive cash flow to pay down the of funds borrowed to acquire EMI Industries, LLC in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 and Canada’s Best Holdings in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, and by lower borrowing costs. The Company also recorded other expense/(income) of $0.5 million and ($0.1) million in the three months ended September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024, respectively, both of which is related to net foreign exchange currency transaction gains and losses through the Company’s Mexican and Canadian subsidiaries.
The $2.4 million of income tax expense in the three months ended September 30, 2025, represents a consolidated effective tax rate of 25.1%. The $1.6 million of income tax expense in the three months ended September 30, 2024, represents a consolidated effective tax rate of 19.7%. Impacting the effective tax rate of both reported periods was the favorable tax treatment of the Company’s long-term performance-based compensation.
The Company reported net income of $7.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to net income of $6.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024. Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $9.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to adjusted net income of $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 (Refer to the Non-GAAP tables above). The increase in Non-GAAP adjusted net income is primarily the result of an increase in net sales and by the favorable profit margin impact of product mix. Diluted adjusted earnings per share of $0.23 was reported in the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $0.22 diluted adjusted earnings per share in the same period of fiscal 2025. The weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share in the three months ended September 30, 2025, were 31,381,000 shares compared to 30,530,000 shares in the same period last year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company considers its level of cash on hand, borrowing capacity, 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 our historical levels of net cash flows from operating activities to be the most important measures.
At September 30, 2025, the Company had working capital of $112.4 million compared to $96.8 million at June 30, 2025. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.2 to 1 as of September 30, 2025, and 2.0 to 1 as of June 30, 2025. The increase in working capital from June 30, 2025, to September 30, 2025, is primarily driven by a $10.4 million increase in net accounts receivable and a $3.7 million increase in cash.
Net accounts receivable was $114.8 million and $104.3 million at September 30, 2025, and June 30, 2025, respectively. DSO increased to 65 days at September 30, 2025, from 57 days at June 30, 2025. The increase in net accounts receivable and the corresponding increase in DSO is directly related to strong sales in the last month of the quarter, and an inadvertent delay in project billing for a large customer.
Net inventories of $78.9 million at September 30, 2025, decreased $0.9 million from $79.8 million at June 30, 2025. Lighting Segment net inventory increased $3.0 million to support the growth in backlog, whereas net inventory in the Display Solutions Segment decreased $3.9 million as a result of several shipments supporting several customer rollout programs.
Cash generated from operations and borrowing capacity under the Company’s line of credit is its primary source of liquidity. In September 2025, the Company amended its existing $100 million credit facility which consisted of a $25 million term loan and a $75 million revolving credit line to a $125 million revolving credit line. The $125 million credit facility will expire in the first quarter of fiscal 2031. As of September 30, 2025, $73 million of the credit line was available. The Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants. The $100 million credit facility plus cash flows from operating activities are adequate for operational and capital expenditure needs for the remainder of fiscal 2026.
The Company generated $0.7 million of cash from operating activities in the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $11.8 million of cash generated from operating activities in the same period in fiscal 2025. While cash flow from earnings was positive in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the growth in net accounts receivable partially offset the cash flow generated from earnings. The Company continues to proactively manage its working capital while generating positive cash flow from earnings.
The Company consumed $0.7 million and $0.8 million of cash related to investing activities in the three months ended September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2025, respectively, most of which related to investments in equipment and tooling to support sales growth.
The Company generated cash of $3.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a consumption of cash of $8.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, related to financing activities. The decline in cash flow from operations from the first quarter of fiscal 2025 to the first quarter of fiscal 2026 contributed to the period-over-period comparison of cash flow from financing activities whereby the Company borrowed from its credit facility to fund the operating cashflow shortfall in the current quarter. Contributing favorably to cash flow from financing activities was the generation of cash related to the proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $3.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $0.2 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock option in the prior period.
The Company has on its balance sheet financial instruments consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents, revolving lines of credit, and long-term debt. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value because of their short-term maturity and/or variable, market-driven interest rates.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk and have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Cash Dividends
In November 2025, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable November 25, 2025, to shareholders of record as of November 17, 2025. The indicated annual cash dividend rate for fiscal 2026 is $0.20 per share. The Board of Directors has adopted a policy regarding dividends which indicates that dividends will be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion based upon its evaluation of earnings, cash flow requirements, financial condition, debt levels, stock repurchases, future business developments and opportunities, and other factors deemed relevant.
