Note A – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Item 10 of Regulation S-K. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of interim periods have been made and such adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations and cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 3, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 2, 2007.

Richardson Electronics, Ltd.’s (the Company) fiscal quarter ends on the Saturday nearest the end of the quarter ending month. The first nine months of fiscal 2007 contained 39 weeks, while the first nine months of fiscal 2006 contained 40 weeks. The additional week occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.

The financial information contained in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 3, 2006.

Note B – Investment in Marketable Equity Securities

The Company’s investments are primarily equity securities, all of which are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at their fair value based on the quoted market prices. Proceeds from the sale of the securities were $3,682 during the first nine months of fiscal 2007. There were no sales of securities during the third quarter of fiscal 2007. During the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2006, proceeds from the sale of the securities were $554 and $1,290, respectively. During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company retained $3,500 of the proceeds from the sale of securities, while in prior periods all proceeds from the sale of securities were reinvested. Gross realized gains on those sales were $724 during the first nine months of fiscal 2007. Gross realized gains on security sales for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2006 were $84 and $185, respectively. Gross realized losses on security sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 were $64. During the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2006, gross realized losses on security sales were $46 and $89, respectively. Net unrealized holding gains of $11 and $178 for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, and net unrealized holding gains of $160 and $283 for the same periods of fiscal 2006, have been included in accumulated comprehensive income for fiscal 2007 and 2006.

The following table is the disclosure under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, for the investment in marketable equity securities with fair values less than cost basis:

Note C – Assets Held for Sale

On April 5, 2007, the Company sold real estate and a building located in the United Kingdom for $1,882. The Company will record a pre tax gain on sale of approximately $1,400 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 with respect to the sale of this property.

On December 29, 2006, the Company sold approximately 1.5 acres of real estate and a building located in Geneva, Illinois for $3,050. The Company recorded a gain of $2,473 during the third quarter of fiscal 2007 with respect to the sale of this property.

In July 2006, the Company offered to sell a building located in Brazil for $913. The Company does not anticipate recording a gain or loss on the sale of the building. The sale of the building is expected to close during the next year, however, the Company cannot give any assurance as to the actual timing or successful completion of the transaction.

Note D – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment assessment as of the end of the third quarter of the current fiscal year. The table below provides changes in carrying value of goodwill by reportable segment, which includes RF, Wireless & Power Division (RFPD), Electron Device Group (EDG), Burtek Systems, formerly Security Systems Division (SSD/Burtek), and Display Systems Group (DSG):


	Goodwill
	Reportable Segments
	RFPD		EDG		SSD/ Burtek			DSG		Total

Balance at March 3, 2007	$	259	$	902	$	1,706		$	10,312	$	13,179

The following table provides changes in carrying value of other intangible assets not subject to amortization:

Balance at March 3, 2007	$	—	$	—		$	311		$	—	$	311

Intangible assets subject to amortization, as well as amortization expense are as follows:


	Intangible Assets Subject to Amortization
	March 3, 2007				June 3, 2006
	Gross Amounts		Accumulated Amortization		Gross Amounts		Accumulated Amortization
Deferred financing costs	$	4,539	$	2,834	$	4,639	$	2,559
Patents and trademarks		478		478		478		475

Total	$	5,017	$	3,312	$	5,117	$	3,034

Deferred financing costs decreased during the first nine months of fiscal 2007 primarily due to the write-off of previously capitalized deferred financing costs of $625 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, related to the Company entering into agreements with certain holders to purchase $14,000 of the Company’s 8% convertible senior subordinated notes (8% notes). This decrease was partially offset by additional deferred financing costs associated with the Company entering into the fourth amendment of the Company’s multi-currency revolving credit agreement (credit agreement) in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

Amortization expense for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 3, 2007 and March 4, 2006 was as follows:


	Amortization Expense for Third Quarter				Amortization Expense for Nine Months
	FY 2007		FY 2006		FY 2007		FY 2006
Deferred financing costs	$	143	$	129	$	364	$	245
Patents and trademarks		—		—		3		1

Total	$	143	$	129	$	367	$	246

The amortization expense associated with the intangible assets subject to amortization is expected to be $488, $495, $495, $329, $209, and $53 in fiscal 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively. The weighted average number of years of amortization expense remaining is 4.31.

Note E – Restructuring and Severance Charges

The Company implemented a global restructuring plan during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 (2007 Restructuring Plan). The 2007 Restructuring Plan is intended to reduce corporate and administrative expense, decrease the number of warehouses, and streamline much of the entire organization. During fiscal 2007, the Company plans to implement a more tax-effective supply chain structure for Asia/Pacific and Europe, restructure its Latin American operations, and reduce its total workforce, including the elimination and restructuring of layers of management.

As a result of the Company’s 2007 Restructuring Plan, restructuring charges of $1,491 were recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A) during the first nine months of fiscal 2007. Severance costs of $175 and $648 were paid during the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively. During the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, the employee severance costs were adjusted $37 and $57, respectively, decreasing SG&A due to the difference between estimated severance costs and actual payouts. The remaining balance payable during fiscal 2007 has been included in accrued liabilities. As of March 3, 2007, the following table depicts the amounts associated with the activity related to the 2007 Restructuring Plan by reportable segment:


	Restructuring Liability June 3, 2006		For the nine months ended March 3, 2007								Restructuring Liability March 3, 2007
2007 Restructuring Plan	Restructuring Liability June 3, 2006		Reserve Recorded		Payment			Adjustment to Reserve			Restructuring Liability March 3, 2007

Total	$	—	$	1,491	$	(648	)	$	(57	)	$	786

As a result of the Company’s fiscal 2005 restructuring initiative (2005 Restructuring Plan), a restructuring charge, including severance and lease termination costs of $2,152, was recorded in SG&A in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, the employee severance and related costs were adjusted, resulting in a $183 decrease in SG&A due to the difference between estimated severance costs and the actual payouts. During fiscal 2006, the employee severance and related costs were adjusted $123, decreasing SG&A due to the difference between estimated severance costs and actual payouts. Severance costs of $724 and $1,108 were paid in fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively. During the first nine months of fiscal 2007, severance costs of $14 were paid. Terminations affected over 60 employees across various business functions, operating units, and geographic regions. As of March 3, 2007, the following table depicts the amounts associated with the activity related to the 2005 Restructuring Plan by reportable segment:


	Restructuring Liability June 3, 2006		For the nine months ended March 3, 2007							Restructuring Liability March 3, 2007
2005 Restructuring Plan	Restructuring Liability June 3, 2006		Reserve Recorded		Payment			Adjustment to Reserve		Restructuring Liability March 3, 2007

Total	$	14	$	—	$	(14	)	$	—	$	—

Note F – Warranties

The Company offers warranties for specific products it manufactures. The Company also provides extended warranties for some products it sells that lengthen the period of coverage specified in the manufacturer’s original warranty. Terms generally range from one to three years.

The Company estimates the cost to perform under its warranty obligation and recognizes this estimated cost at the time of the related product sale. The Company reports this expense as an element of cost of sales in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Each quarter, the Company assesses actual warranty costs incurred, on a product-by-product basis, as compared to its estimated obligation. The estimates with respect to new products are based generally on knowledge of the products, are extrapolated to reflect the extended warranty period, and are refined each quarter as better information with respect to warranty experience becomes known.

Warranty reserves are established for costs that are expected to be incurred after the sale and delivery of products under warranty. The warranty reserves are determined based on known product failures, historical experience, and other currently available evidence.

Changes in the warranty reserve for the first nine months ended March 3, 2007 were as follows:


	Warranty Reserve
Balance at June 3, 2006	$	836
Accruals for products sold		479
Utilization		(432	)
Adjustment		(386	)

Balance at March 3, 2007	$	497

During the second quarter of fiscal 2003, DSG provided a three-year warranty on some of its products. As a result of lower than anticipated failure rates and lower sales volume of products with this warranty feature, reserve adjustments of $386 were recorded during the first nine months of fiscal 2007.

Note G – Debt

Long-term debt consists of the following:


	March 3, 2007			June 3, 2006
7³/4% notes, due December 2011	$	44,683		$	44,683
8% notes, due June 2011		11,000			25,000

Less: current portion		(16	)		(14,016	)

Long-term debt	$	133,433		$	112,792

At March 3, 2007, the Company maintained $133,433 in long-term debt, primarily in the form of two series of convertible notes and a credit agreement. On September 8, 2006, the Company purchased $6,000 of the 8% notes, and on December 8, 2006, the Company purchased $8,000 of the 8% notes. The purchases were financed through additional borrowings under the Company’s existing credit agreement. As the 8% notes are subordinate to the credit agreement, the Company received a waiver from its lending group to permit the purchases. In the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company recorded costs associated with the retirement of long-term debt of $2,540 in connection with the purchases, which includes the write-off of previously capitalized deferred financing costs of $625.

In October 2004, the Company renewed its credit agreement with the current lending group in the amount of approximately $109,000. On August 4, 2006, the Company amended its credit agreement and decreased the facility to approximately $97,500 (the size of the credit line varies based on fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates). The credit agreement expires in October 2009, and the outstanding balance at that time will become due. The portion of the credit line available for the Company to borrow is limited by the amount of collateral and certain covenants in the credit agreement. The credit agreement is principally secured by the Company’s trade receivables and inventory. The credit agreement bears interest at applicable LIBOR rates plus a margin, varying with certain financial performance criteria. At March 3, 2007, the applicable margin was 2.00%, $77,743 was outstanding under the credit agreement, outstanding letters of credit were $577, and the unused line was $19,214. None of this unused line was available for the Company to borrow because the Company was not in compliance with credit agreement covenants with respect to the leverage ratio for the third quarter ending March 3, 2007. The commitment fee related to the credit agreement is 0.25% per annum payable quarterly on the average daily unused portion of the aggregate commitment. The Company’s credit agreement consists of the following facilities as of March 3, 2007:


	Capacity		Amount Outstanding		Interest Rate
U.S. Facility	$	77,500	$	60,400	7.46	%
Canada Facility		2,064		341	6.00	%
UK Facility		8,820		8,703	7.43	%
Euro Facility		6,597		6,597	5.65	%
Japan Facility		2,553		1,702	2.75	%

Total	$	97,534	$	77,743	7.20	%

Note: Due to maximum permitted leverage ratios, the amount of the unused line cannot be calculated on a facility-by-facility basis.

On January 19, 2007, the Company executed an amendment to the credit agreement to facilitate the implementation of a European cash sweeping program. In addition, the amendment decreased the Company’s Canada Facility and increased the Company’s U.S. Facility by approximately $7,500.

On March 3, 2007, the Company was not in compliance with credit agreement covenants with respect to the leverage ratio. On April 5, 2007, the Company received a waiver from its lending group for the default.

Note H – Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007 were 63.3% and 80.1%, respectively, as compared with 262.1% and 81.8% for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2006, respectively. The difference between the effective tax rates as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% primarily results from the Company’s geographical distribution of taxable income or losses and valuation allowances related to net operating losses. For the nine months ended March 3, 2007, the tax benefit primarily related to domestic net operating losses was limited by the requirement for a valuation allowance of $2,882, which increased the effective income tax rate by 56.2%. For the nine months ended March 4, 2006, the tax benefit primarily related to net operating losses was limited by the requirement for a valuation allowance of $3,646, which increased the effective income tax rate by 68.5%. During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, income tax reserves of approximately $1,000 for certain income tax exposures were reversed because the statute of limitations with respect to these income tax exposures expired.

Note I – Calculation of Earnings Per Share

The Company has authorized 30,000 shares of common stock, 10,000 shares of Class B common stock, and 5,000 shares of preferred stock. The Class B common stock has ten votes per share. The Class B common stock has transferability restrictions; however, it may be converted into common stock on a share-for-share basis at any time. With respect to dividends and distributions, shares of common stock and Class B common stock rank equally and have the same rights, except that Class B common stock cash dividends are limited to 90% of the amount of common stock cash dividends.

According to the EITF Issue No. 03-6, “Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share,” the Company’s Class B common stock is considered a participating security requiring the use of the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. The two-class computation method for each period reflects the cash dividends paid per share for each class of stock, plus the amount of allocated undistributed earnings per share computed using the participation percentage which reflects the dividend rights of each class of stock. Basic and diluted earnings per share reflect the application of EITF Issue No. 03-6 and were computed using the two-class method. The shares of Class B common stock are considered to be participating convertible securities since the shares of Class B common stock are convertible on a share-for-share basis into shares of common stock and may participate in dividends with common stock according to a predetermined formula (90% of the amount of common stock cash dividends).

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income, adjusted for interest savings, net of tax, on assumed conversion of convertible debentures and notes, by the actual shares outstanding and share equivalents that would arise from the exercise of stock options, certain restricted stock awards, and the assumed conversion of convertible debentures and notes when dilutive. The Company’s 7³/4% convertible senior subordinated notes (7³/4% notes) and 8% notes are excluded from the calculation for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007 and 2006, and the Company’s 8¹/4% convertible senior subordinated debentures and 7¹/4% convertible debentures are excluded from the calculation for the first nine months of fiscal 2006, as assumed conversion and the effect of the interest savings would be anti-dilutive. The per share amounts presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007 and 2006 are based on the following amounts:


	Third Quarter					Nine Months

As of the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, 1,762 common stock options and 1,792 common stock options, respectively, were anti-dilutive and were not included in the dilutive earnings per common share calculation. As of the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2006, 2,009 common stock options and 1,940 common stock options, respectively, were anti-dilutive and were not included in the dilutive earnings per common share calculation.

Note J – Stock-Based Compensation

Prior to fiscal 2007, the Company accounted for its stock-based compensation under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations (APB No. 25), and adopted the disclosure-only provision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Under APB No. 25, no stock-based compensation cost was reflected in net income for grants of stock options prior to fiscal 2006 because the Company grants stock options with an exercise price equal to the market value of the stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation totaled approximately $185 and $552 for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2006, respectively.

Under APB No. 25, pro-forma expense for stock options was calculated using a graded-vesting schedule over the applicable vesting period, which generally ranges from two to four years. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (SFAS No. 123(R)) the Company records compensation expense using a graded-vesting schedule over the applicable vesting period, or to the date on which retirement eligibility is achieved, if shorter (non-substantive vesting period approach). Had the Company used the fair value based accounting method for stock compensation expense prescribed by SFAS No. 123(R), the Company’s net income and earnings per share for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 4, 2006 would have been reduced to the pro-forma amounts illustrated as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):


	Quarter Ended March 4, 2006			Nine Months Ended March 4, 2006
Net income (loss) – as reported	$	(1,146	)	$	967
Add: Reported stock-based compensation expense, net of taxes		2			5
Deduct: Fair valued based compensation expense, net of taxes		(185	)		(552	)

Pro-forma net income (loss)	$	(1,329	)	$	420

Earnings per share, as reported:
Common stock – basic	$	(0.07	)	$	0.06

Class B common stock – basic	$	(0.06	)	$	0.05

Common stock – diluted	$	(0.07	)	$	0.06

Class B common stock – diluted	$	(0.06	)	$	0.05


Earnings per share, pro forma:
Common stock – basic	$	(0.08	)	$	0.02

Class B common stock – basic	$	(0.07	)	$	0.02

Common stock – diluted	$	(0.08	)	$	0.02

Class B common stock – diluted	$	(0.07	)	$	0.02

Effective June 4, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (R), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation cost at fair value for all share-based payments, including stock options. Using the modified prospective method, stock-based compensation for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007 includes compensation expense, recognized over the applicable vesting periods, for new share-based awards and for share-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of June 3, 2006. Stock-based compensation totaled approximately $198 and $774 for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively.

Stock options granted to members of the Board of Directors generally vest immediately and stock options granted to employees generally vest over a period of five years and have contractual terms for exercise of ten years. Transactions during the first nine months of fiscal 2007 were as follows (in thousands, except option prices and years):


	Number of Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Options outstanding at June 3, 2006	1,851		$	9.26
Granted	309		$	8.68
Exercised	(105	)	$	7.18
Cancelled	(171	)	$	9.44

Options outstanding at March 3, 2007	1,884		$	9.26	5.86	$	1,409

Options exercisable at March 3, 2007	1,184		$	9.73	4.10	$	1,029

There were 5 and 105 stock options exercised during the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, with a realized gain of $8 and $261. The total intrinsic value of options exercised

during the first nine months of fiscal 2006 totaled approximately $47. The weighted average fair value of stock option grants was $3.93 for the first nine months of fiscal 2007, and $3.19 and $3.15 for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2006, respectively.

The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:


	Quarter Ended					Nine Months Ended
	March 3, 2007		March 4, 2006			March 3, 2007			March 4, 2006
Expected volatility		—		43.49	%		48.2	%		43.49	%
Risk-free interest rate		—		4.49	%		4.73	%		4.29	%
Expected lives		—		5.12			6.5			5.12
Annual cash dividend	$	—	$	0.16		$	0.16		$	0.16

Note: There were no options granted during the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

The fiscal 2007 and 2006 expected volatility assumptions are based on historical experience. The fiscal 2007 expected stock option life assumption is based on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 and the fiscal 2006 expected stock option life assumption is based on historical experience. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of a treasury note with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the stock option.

Note L – Recently Issued Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 will become effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of FIN 48 on the financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Under SFAS No. 157, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. The standard clarifies that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. SFAS No. 157 will be effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact that SFAS No. 157 may have on the financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB No. 108) regarding the quantification of financial statement misstatements. SAB No. 108 requires a “dual approach” for quantifications of errors using both a method that focuses on the income statement impact, including the cumulative effect of prior years’ misstatements, and a method that focuses on the period-end balance sheet. SAB No. 108 will be effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159), including an amendment to SFAS No. 115. Under SFAS No. 159, entities may elect to measure specified financial instruments and warranty and insurance contracts at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period. The election, called the fair value option, will enable entities to achieve an offset accounting effect for changes in fair value of certain related assets and liabilities without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement consistent with the FASB’s long-term objectives for financial instruments. SFAS No. 159 will be effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 159 on the financial statements.

Note M – Subsequent Events

On April 6, 2007, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Honeywell International Inc. to sell certain assets and liabilities of the Company’s SSD/Burtek strategic business unit for $80 million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments. The sale is subject to regulatory review. The Company anticipates the completion of the sale to occur in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 or the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Upon completion, the Company would report SSD/Burtek as a discontinued operation in accordance with the criteria of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

As of March 3, 2007, the net assets of SSD/Burtek included in the sale were approximately $33 million. Based on the Company’s tax structure and its ability to use existing net operating loss carryforwards to offset any gain in the U.S., the Company does not expect to pay income taxes as a result of the sale. After transaction expenses, net proceeds from the sale are estimated to be $76 million. Upon closing, the Company expects to record a gain on sale of approximately $43 million. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the sale to pay down debt outstanding under its credit agreement.

Net sales and gross profit trends are analyzed for each strategic business unit in the discussion below.

RF, Wireless & Power Division

RFPD net sales increased 10.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 to $89,241 as compared with $80,526 in the same period last year. For the nine-month period of fiscal 2007, net sales increased to $270,567, a 12.2% increase from $241,252 in the year-to-date period last year. The net sales growth for both periods was due mainly to an increase in demand for infrastructure and power conversion products. The first nine months of fiscal 2007 also benefited from increased passive/interconnect product sales. Net sales of infrastructure products increased 45.4% to $26,500 and 32.8% to $76,472 in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, as all four geographic regions improved over the prior year. Power conversion net sales were $12,355 for the third quarter of fiscal 2007, 29.9% higher than $9,510 for the same period last year. For the first nine months of fiscal 2007, net sales of power conversion products increased 30.6% to $35,521 as compared with $27,208 in the first nine months of last fiscal year. The growth in net sales of power conversion products in both periods was mainly due to growth in Asia/Pacific which benefited from RFPD’s penetration of the welding and steel manufacturing market with induction heating and power supply applications. Net sales of passive/interconnect products increased 8.3% to $43,920 in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 as compared with $40,537 in the prior fiscal year. The increase was mainly due to higher sales in Europe and Asia/Pacific. The net sales growth was the main contributor to the gross profit increase of 8.0% and 11.7% to $20,576 and $62,431 for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively. For the third quarter of fiscal 2007, the gross margin percentage decreased to 23.1% from 23.7% due to shifts in product mix. For the nine-month period, the gross margin percentage remained relatively stable at 23.1% in fiscal 2007 as compared to 23.2% in fiscal 2006.

Electron Device Group

EDG net sales increased 11.3% to $24,384 in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 from $21,907 in the same period last fiscal year. In the first nine months of fiscal 2007, net sales increased 6.0% to $74,552 from $70,352 last year. The increase in the third quarter was due to growth in net sales of products to the semiconductor fabrication equipment industry, in addition to increases in tube sales. The increase for the nine-month period was due to growth in net sales of products to the semiconductor fabrication equipment industry, partially offset by a decline in tube sales. Net sales to the semiconductor fabrication equipment industry increased 36.1% to $5,976 during the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared with $4,390 during the third quarter of fiscal 2006. For the nine-month period of fiscal 2007, net sales to the semiconductor fabrication equipment industry increased to $16,942, a 37.2% increase from $12,345 in the first nine

months of last fiscal year. For both periods, the increase in net sales to the semiconductor fabrication equipment industry was due mainly to higher sales in North America, Asia/Pacific, and Europe. EDG has targeted semiconductor equipment manufacturers as an important market segment by selling semiconductor fabrication equipment products for high frequency and high power applications. This market focus lends itself to EDG’s engineered solutions strategy of adding value to the component distribution sales by incorporating these products into subassemblies and assisting customers in product design. Tube sales increased 3.3% to $16,101 during the third quarter as compared to $15,581 last year. During the nine-month period, tube sales decreased 1.5% to $50,428 from $51,219 last year. Tube sales for the year-to-date period were adversely impacted by delayed inventory deliveries related to a major supplier’s facility relocation during the end of fiscal 2006 and first quarter of fiscal 2007; however, during the third quarter, inventory deliveries improved. The delivery delays are expected to fully return to a normal level by the end of fiscal 2007. EDG’s gross profit increased 11.6% and 6.3% to $7,922 and $23,972 during the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, due mainly to an increase in sales volume. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased slightly to 32.5% and 32.2% in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, from 32.4% and 32.0% in the same periods of last fiscal year.

SSD/Burtek Systems

Net sales for SSD/Burtek increased 3.7% to $26,247 during the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared with net sales of $25,316 during third quarter of fiscal 2006. Net sales were relatively flat during the first nine months of fiscal 2007 at $80,657 as compared to $80,488 last year. The increase during the third quarter was mainly due to an increase in sales of distribution products, partially offset by a slight decrease in sales of private label products. Distribution products increased to $18,239, or 5.6% higher than $17,266 last year. Net sales of private label products decreased 1.0% to $7,835 during the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared with $7,916 during the same period of last fiscal year. Gross margin as a percent of net sales increased to 26.4% from 23.8% for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the first nine months of fiscal 2007 and 2006, gross margin improved to 26.6% versus 25.1%, respectively. The gross margin improvement for both periods was mainly attributable to lower inventory overstock and scrap expense.

Display Systems Group

DSG net sales decreased 16.8% during the third quarter of fiscal 2007 to $19,592 as compared with $23,537 in the same period last fiscal year. Net sales for the nine-month period of fiscal 2007 declined 10.1% to $62,801 as compared with $69,881 in the same period last year. The decline in both periods was due to the decrease in the custom display, medical monitors, and cathode ray tube (CRT) product lines. Net sales of custom displays were $8,485 in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, 13.1% lower than $9,764 in the same period last year. In the first nine months of fiscal 2007, net sales of custom displays declined 9.1% to $27,541 from $30,294 in the same period last year. DSG has a project-based business and approximately 46% of the net sales decline in the year-to-date period in the custom display product line is due to the completion of a large project with the New York Stock Exchange during the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The remaining decline for both periods is due to a decline in project business. Net sales of medical monitors declined 25.7% to $7,983 during the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared with $10,737 last year. During the first nine months of fiscal 2007, net sales of medical monitors declined 8.4% to $26,350 from $28,772 last fiscal year. Net sales of CRT products decreased 37.0% to $1,319 in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to $2,094 last fiscal year. For the first nine months of fiscal 2007, net sales of CRT products declined 27.5% to $5,268 from $7,266 in the same period last year. The sales decline in CRT products was due to lower sales of display test equipment and the industry shift from CRT products to LCD and other display technologies. DSG’s gross profit decreased 26.7% to $4,713 during the third quarter of fiscal 2007, from $6,426 for the same time period last year. The gross profit in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 declined to $14,870, 19.9% lower than $18,559 last year. The decline primarily related to the decline in overall sales volume and the decreased sales of higher margin custom display and CRT product lines. The gross margin percentage decreased to 24.1% from 27.3% during the third quarter of fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively, and declined to 23.7% from 26.6% during the first nine months of fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decline in gross margin was due to shifts in product mix. The year-to-date period also declined due to the reduction in warranty expense of $946 in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 as a result of a change in estimate due to favorable warranty experience.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A remained relatively flat during the third quarter of fiscal 2007 at $35,877 as compared with $35,502 in the same period last fiscal year. During the first nine months of fiscal 2007, SG&A increased to $107,386, an increase of 6.6% from $100,766 in the prior year. The increase in expenses for the nine-month period was primarily due to higher payroll-related and advertising expenses to support sales growth, healthcare expenses, severance expense and other costs related to the 2007 Restructuring Plan of $1,788, additional stock compensation expense of $669 related to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), and restatement related expenses of $570. For the third quarter of fiscal 2007, total SG&A decreased to 22.4% of net sales, compared with 23.3% in last fiscal year’s third quarter. SG&A increased to 21.8% of net sales during the first nine months of fiscal 2007 from 21.6% last year.

Other (Income) Expense

In the third quarter of fiscal 2007, other (income) expense increased to an expense of $2,760 from an expense of $805 during the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The increase in expense for the third quarter related to an increase in interest expense in addition to unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate changes. Interest expense increased to $2,706 for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared with $2,479 during the same period of last fiscal year. The increase in interest expense is due to higher average balances on the Company’s multi-currency revolving credit agreement (credit agreement) and an increase in interest rates. Other (income) expense included a foreign exchange loss of $110 during the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to a foreign exchange gain of $1,611 last year. The foreign exchange variance is due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar during the third quarter as compared last year, primarily related to receivables due from foreign subsidiaries to the U.S. parent company and denominated in foreign currencies.

In the first nine months of fiscal 2007, other (income) expense increased to an expense of $10,530 from an expense of $9,128 last year. The increase in expense for the nine-month period primarily related to an increase in interest expense and costs associated with the retirement of long-term debt, partially offset by favorable foreign currency exchange rate changes. During the first nine months of fiscal 2007, interest expense increased to $8,486 from $7,076 in the prior year. The increase in interest expense is due to higher average balances on the Company’s credit agreement and an increase in interest rates. The Company’s weighted average interest rates increased to 7.4% in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 as compared to 7.1% in the prior year. The first nine months of fiscal 2007 included costs associated with the retirement of long-term debt of $2,540 due to the Company entering into two separate agreements in August 2006 with certain holders of the Company’s 8% convertible senior subordinated notes (8% notes) to purchase $14,000 of the 8% notes. For the first nine months of fiscal 2007 versus last year, the foreign exchange loss declined to a loss of $315 from a loss of $2,071, respectively. The foreign exchange variance is due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar, primarily related to receivables due from foreign subsidiaries to the U.S. parent company and denominated in foreign currencies.

Income Tax Provision

Net Income (Loss) and Per Share Data

Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was $1,037, or $0.06 per diluted common share and $0.05 per Class B diluted common share as compared with net loss of $1,146 for the third quarter of fiscal 2006, or $0.07 per diluted common share and $0.06 per Class B diluted common share. Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 was $1,020, or $0.06 per diluted common share and $0.05 per Class B diluted common share as compared with net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 of $967, or $0.06 per diluted common share and $0.05 per Class B diluted common share.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has financed its growth and cash needs largely through income from operations, borrowings under the revolving credit facilities, issuance of convertible senior subordinated notes, and sale of assets. Liquidity provided by operating activities is reduced by working capital requirements, debt service, capital expenditures, dividends, and business acquisitions. Liquidity provided by operating activities is increased by proceeds from borrowings and from the dispositions of businesses and assets.

Cash and cash equivalents were $12,363 at March 3, 2007, as compared to $17,010 at fiscal 2006 year end. Cash used in operating activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 was $9,459, primarily due to higher inventories and lower accounts payable and accrued liabilities partially offset by lower accounts receivable. The increase in inventories was due to higher inventory stocking levels to support anticipated sales growth. Accounts payable balances decreased due to timing of payments for inventory. Accrued liabilities decreased due to payments of interest on long-term debt. Accounts receivable declined during the first nine months of fiscal 2007 due to a decline in sales volume during the last two months of the period as compared with the last two months of fiscal 2006. Cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 was $4,622 due mainly to higher accounts payable, partially offset by increased inventories. The increase in inventories, due to inventory stocking programs to support anticipated sales growth was more than offset by the increase in accounts payable due to the timing of inventory purchases during the third quarter of fiscal 2006.

Net cash provided by investing activities of $1,893 in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 was mainly due to the liquidation of $3,500 of long-term investments, proceeds from the sale of assets of $3,109, partially offset by capital expenditures of $4,716 primarily related to information technology projects. Net cash used in investing activities of $10,788 in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 was mainly a result of the acquisition of A.C.T. Kern GmbH & Co. KG with a cash outlay of $6,583, net of cash acquired, and capital expenditures of $4,229 primarily related to facility and information technology projects.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $2,456 in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 primarily related to net debt borrowings of $20,361, partially offset by cash payments on the early debt retirement of $15,915 and dividend payments of $2,071. During the first nine months of fiscal 2006, net cash provided by financing activities was $592.

On September 8, 2006, the Company purchased $6,000 of the 8% notes, and on December 8, 2006, the Company purchased $8,000 of the 8% notes. The purchases were financed through additional borrowings under the Company’s credit agreement. As the 8% notes are subordinate to the Company’s existing credit agreement, the Company received a waiver from its lending group to permit the purchases. In the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company recorded costs associated with the retirement of long-term debt of $2,540 in connection with the purchases, which includes the write-off of previously capitalized deferred financing costs of $625.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 will become effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of FIN 48 on the financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Under SFAS No. 157, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. The standard clarifies that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. SFAS No. 157 will be effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact that SFAS No. 157 may have on the financial statements.

for changes in fair value of certain related assets and liabilities without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement consistent with the FASB’s long-term objectives for financial instruments. SFAS No. 159 will be effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 159 on the financial statements.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Risk Management and Market Sensitive Financial Instruments

Certain operations, assets, and liabilities of the Company are denominated in foreign currencies subjecting the Company to foreign currency exchange risk. In addition, some of the Company’s debt financing varies with market rates exposing the Company to the market risk from changes in interest rates. In order to provide the user of these financial statements guidance regarding the magnitude of these risks, the Securities and Exchange Commission requires the Company to provide certain quantitative disclosures based upon hypothetical assumptions. Specifically, these disclosures require the calculation of the effect of a 10% increase in market interest rates and a uniform 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies on the reported net earnings and financial position of the Company.

The Company’s multi-currency revolving credit agreement’s interest rate varies based on market interest rates. Had interest rates increased 10%, additional interest expense, tax effected, would have decreased the net income by an estimated $260 in the first nine months of fiscal 2007, and decreased the net income by an estimated $160 in the first nine months of fiscal 2006.

The Company’s foreign denominated assets and liabilities are cash, accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable, and intercompany receivables and payables, primarily in Canada, member countries of the European Union, Asia/Pacific and, to a lesser extent, Latin America. Tools that the Company may use to manage foreign exchange exposures include currency clauses in sales contracts, local debt to offset asset exposures and forward contracts to hedge significant transactions. The Company has not entered into any forward contracts in fiscal 2007 or 2006.

Had the U.S. dollar strengthened 10% against various foreign currencies, sales would have been lower by an estimated $6,800 and $20,500 for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, and an estimated $6,100 and $18,500 for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2006, respectively. Total assets would have declined by an estimated $14,300 as of the quarter ended March 3, 2007 and an estimated $12,800 as of the fiscal year ended June 3, 2006, while the total liabilities would have decreased by an estimated $3,300 as of the quarter ended March 3, 2007 and an estimated $3,500 as of the fiscal year ended June 3, 2006.

The interpretation and analysis of these disclosures should not be considered in isolation since such variances in interest rates and exchange rates would likely influence other economic factors. Such factors, which are not readily quantifiable, would likely also affect the Company’s operations.

For an additional description of the Company’s market risk, see “Item 7A – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk – Risk Management and Market Sensitive Financial Instruments” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 3, 2006.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)	Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management of the Company, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of March 3, 2007. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

(b)	Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 3, 2006, as of June 3, 2006, the Company reported a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting relating to controls over the evaluation of the reasonableness of assumptions with respect to the realizability of certain deferred tax assets. The Company did not have appropriate controls in place to determine that valuation allowances provided for deferred tax assets were calculated in accordance with income tax accounting standards. This control deficiency resulted in material errors in the deferred tax asset valuation allowances which required adjustment to the Company’s financial statements for fiscal 2006 and the third quarter of fiscal 2006 and restatement of the Company’s financial statements for fiscal 2005, for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 and for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2006.

During the first and second quarters of fiscal 2007, the Company’s management implemented appropriate procedures to evaluate the realizability of all deferred tax assets.

Other than the actions mentioned above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the first nine months of fiscal 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is involved in several pending judicial proceedings concerning matters arising in the ordinary course of its business. While the outcome of litigation is subject to uncertainties, based on currently available information, the Company believes that, in the aggregate, the results of these proceedings will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 3, 2006, which could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and/or operating results.

ITEM 3.

DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

ITEM 5.

OTHER INFORMATION

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On April 6, 2007, Burtek Systems Corp. (“Burtek Systems”), the Company, and certain other subsidiaries of the Company (together with the Company, the “Sellers”) entered into an Acquisition Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Honeywell International Inc. (“Purchaser”) pursuant to which Purchaser agreed to purchase SSD/Burtek, which provides security systems and related design services which include such products as closed circuit television, fire, burglary, access control, sound and communication products and accessories (the “Business”).

The transaction is structured as a sale of all of the stock of Burtek Systems and all of the other assets primarily used or held for use in the Business (the “Sale Assets”). Subject to certain limited exceptions, Purchaser is not assuming any pre-closing obligations or liabilities of the Business.

The total consideration to be paid by Purchaser to Sellers pursuant to the Agreement is $80,000,000 (“Initial Consideration”), net of cash and debt other than certain assumed liabilities. The Initial Consideration is subject to a downward adjustment to the extent that the net working capital on the closing date is less than $31,000,000.

Representations and Warranties

The Agreement provides for typical representations and warranties among the parties that must be accurate on both the execution date and the closing date. Representations and warranties in the Agreement generally survive closing until January 31, 2009, subject to certain exceptions for representations and warranties with longer survival periods, including (i) those addressing tax matters, employee benefits and environmental, health and safety matters which survive until thirty days after expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, (ii) those addressing intellectual property matters which survive until the third anniversary of the closing date, and (iii) those addressing organization, authority, binding obligation, capitalization, non-contravention, consents, title, condition and sufficiency of the assets and brokers’ fees which survive indefinitely.

Pre-Closing Covenants

Prior to the closing, Sellers and Burtek Systems are required to comply with certain pre-closing covenants, and each is required to: (i) give all notices to third parties and governmental entities and use best efforts to obtain all permits and consents as may be required or appropriate in connection with the contemplated transactions; (ii) make any filings necessary, proper or advisable under any applicable antitrust or competition laws; (iii) conduct the operations of the Business in the ordinary course of business and preserve its assets, goodwill and relationships; (iv) afford Purchaser full access to the Business and its employees during normal working hours; (v) notify Purchaser of the occurrence of an event that Sellers expect to prevent fulfillment of any closing condition; (vi) terminate discussions with all third parties regarding the potential sale of the Business and refrain from soliciting or facilitating any competing proposal to acquire the Business; (vii) terminate certain related party agreements, and (viii) take certain other actions relating to vesting of employee benefits, employee transition, segregation of assets and other items agreed to by them in the Agreement.

Closing Conditions

The obligation of each of Purchaser and Burtek Systems and Sellers to consummate the transactions is subject to numerous closing conditions. These include that the representations and warranties are true and correct in all material respects, that the covenants have been performed, that no litigation threatens the transaction, that the waiting periods under applicable antitrust laws have expired and the transaction has received approval under the Competition Act of Canada. In addition, Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the transactions is subject to there being no adverse effect, circumstance or change, either individually or in the aggregate, that has or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, conditions, or results of operation of the Business and to the receipt of certain specified consents from third parties. The parties are also required to deliver customary closing documents, including a transition services agreement, a bill of sale, and an assignment of trademarks.

Post-Closing Covenants

Sellers and Purchaser are subject to certain post-closing covenants. The Sellers have agreed to maintain the confidentiality of personal information and know-how, trade secrets, customer lists, operational methods, and other confidential information of the Business. For a period of two years after the closing, the Sellers have also agreed to refrain from soliciting for employment any person who is or was within the three months prior to any solicitation an employee of the Business. For a period of two years after the closing, Purchaser has agreed to refrain from soliciting for employment any person who is or was within the three months prior to any solicitation an employee of the Sellers with whom Purchaser had contact in connection with the contemplated transactions. Subject to limited exceptions, for a period of five years after the closing, the Sellers and their affiliates are not permitted to engage in any activity anywhere in the world that competes with the Business.

Indemnification

Each party agrees to indemnify the other party for damages arising out of or relating to certain claims, including the breach of representations and warranties or covenants of the indemnifying party, or relating to certain excluded assets and liabilities. Sellers’ obligation to indemnify Purchaser for breaches of representations and warranties shall not arise until all losses claimed by all of Purchaser’s indemnified parties exceeds $500,000 (the “Basket”), and then will only apply to the amount in excess of the Basket up to the maximum liability amount of $17,000,000 (the “Maximum”). Losses for certain claims of Purchaser’s indemnified parties are not subject to the Basket or the Maximum, including certain losses incurred by Purchaser relating to (i) Sellers breach of the pre-closing or post-closing covenants (ii) excluded assets or liabilities, and (iii) fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

Termination

The Agreement is subject to termination upon the mutual consent of the parties or by either party if (i) a court issues a nonappealable order precluding the consummation of the transaction, (ii) the transaction has not been consummated by October 31, 2007, or (iii) the uncured breach by the other party of a representation, warranty or covenant would result in any of the conditions to closing not being satisfied.
