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 December 31, 2025, the results of its operations for the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, and its cash flows for the six-month periods ended December 31, 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.
The Display Solutions Segment manufactures, sells and installs exterior and interior visual image and display elements, including printed graphics, structural graphics, digital signage, menu board systems, millwork display fixtures, refrigerated displays, food equipment, countertops, and other custom display elements. These products are used in visual image programs in several markets including the refueling and convenience store markets, quick-service and casual restaurant market, retail and grocery store, and other retail markets. The Company accesses its customers primarily through a direct sale model utilizing its own sales force. Sales through distribution represent a small portion of Display Solutions sales. The Display Solutions Segment also provides a variety of project management services to complement our display elements, such as installation management, site surveys, permitting, and content management which are offered to our customers to support our digital signage.
The Company’s corporate administration activities are reported in the Corporate and Eliminations line item. These activities primarily include intercompany profit in inventory eliminations, expense related to certain corporate officers and support staff, the Company’s internal audit staff, expense related to the Company’s Board of Directors, equity compensation expense for various equity awards granted to corporate administration employees, certain consulting expenses, investor relations activities, and a portion of the Company’s legal, auditing, and professional fee expenses. Corporate identifiable assets primarily consist of cash, invested cash (if any), refundable income taxes (if any), and deferred income taxes.

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.

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 December 31, 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 $147.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, decreased less than 1% as compared to net sales of $147.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Lighting Segment net sales of $66.7 million increased 15% and Display Solutions Segment net sales of $80.3 million decreased 10% from last year’s second quarter net sales. The 15% second quarter sales growth of Lighting Segment sales follows 18% growth in the first quarter, with several factors contributing to the improving momentum, including the increased number of large project shipments, which doubled from the second quarter last year. Within the Display Solutions segment, we continue to maintain a high level of project execution across large, multi-year customer programs in the refueling/c-store and QSR verticals. In addition, our grocery vertical continues to stabilize, with demand patterns returning to seasonal levels after two years of significant disruption.
Net sales of $304.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2025, increased 6% as compared to net sales of $285.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024. Lighting Segment net sales of $135.7 million increased 16% and Display Solutions Segment net sales of $168.5 million decreased less than 1 percent from last year’s net sales As stated in the overview of second quarter sales, the momentum in the Lighting Segment from the first quarter carried over to the second quarter with strong lighting net sales driven by the increased number of large project shipments and by the introduction of several new products and the Company’s ability to convert multiple competitor accounts to LSI. Within the Display Solutions segment we continue to experience a steady demand in the refueling/c-store and grocery markets as customers continue to recognize the value of our broad service capabilities.
Operating income of $8.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, represents a 5% increase in operating income from $8.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2024. Adjusted operating income, a Non-GAAP measure, was $11.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $11.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2024. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures to U.S. GAAP measures. While net sales were relatively flat compared to the same time in the prior year, operating income improved. Margin management remains a priority for us, with a strong focus on project pricing, productivity, and cost discipline.
Operating income of $19.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2025, represents a 13% increase from operating income of $17.6 million in the six months ended December 31, 2024. Adjusted operating income, a Non-GAAP financial measure, was $25.7 million in the six months ended December 31, 2025, compared to adjusted operating income of $23.6 million in the six months ended December 31, 2024. The increase in net sales coupled with focused margin management contributed to the period over period improvement in operating income. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures to U.S. GAAP measures.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This report includes adjustments to GAAP operating income, net income, and earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 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.

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 December 31, 2025, the Company had working capital of $100.1 million compared to $96.8 million at June 30, 2025. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.2 to 1 for December 31, 2025, and 2.0 for June 30, 2025. The increase in working capital from June 30, 2025, to December 31, 2025, was primarily driven a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and an increase in net inventory, partially offset by a $13.7 million decrease in net accounts receivable.

Cash generated from operations and borrowing capacity under the Company’s line of credit is its primary source of liquidity. The Company has a $125 million a secured revolving line of credit. The revolving line of credit expires in the first quarter of fiscal 2031. As of December 31, 2025, $104.6 million of the credit line was available. The Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants. The $125 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 $25.7 million of cash from operating activities in the six months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $21.7 million of cash generated from operating activities in the same period in fiscal 2025. The Company continues to effectively manage its working capital while generating increasing cash flow from earnings in both fiscal years, resulting in strong cash flow from operations.
The Company invested $2.6 million and $1.8 million of cash related to investing activities in the six months ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company continues to invest in equipment and tooling to support sales growth.

The Company continues to generate positive cash flow from its operations in order to pay down its debt and fund its dividend payments to shareholders.
The Company has on its balance sheet financial instruments consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents, revolving lines of credit, and long-term debt.
