NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 March 31, 2024, the results of its operations for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, and its cash flows for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2024, and 2023. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes included in the fiscal 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Financial information as of June 30, 2023, 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 2023 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 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 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 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers,” creating an exception to the recognition and measurement principles in ASC 805. The amendment requires that entities apply ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” rather than using fair value, to recognize and measure contracts assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, regardless of whether a business combination occurs in that period. The guidance should be applied prospectively; however, an entity that elects to early adopt in an interim period should apply the amendments to all business combinations that occurred during the fiscal year that includes that interim period. There has not been a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as a result of its adoption of the guidance on July 1, 2023.

NOTE 3 - 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’stwo operating segments are Lighting and Display Solutions (formerly known as the Graphics Segment), 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 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, display fixtures, refrigerated displays, and custom display elements. These products are used in visual image programs in several markets including 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 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.

There wereno customers or customer programs representing a concentration of 10% or more of the Company’s consolidated net sales in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, or 2023. There wasno concentration of accounts receivable at March 31, 2024, or 2023.

NOTE 7 - 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 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 ofthree reporting units that contain goodwill. One reporting unit is within the Lighting Segment andtwo 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 8 - DEBT

The Company’s long-term debt as of March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2023, consisted of the following:

March 31, · June 30,
(In thousands) · 2024 · 2023

Term loan, net of debt issuance costs of $20 and $30, respectively16,35316,471
Total debt$16,353$35,200
Less: amounts due within one year3,5713,571
Total amounts due after one year, net$12,782$31,629

In September 2021, the Company amended its existing $100 million secured line of credit, to a $25 million term loan and $75 million remaining as a secured revolving line of credit. Both facilities expire in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. The principal of the term loan is repaid annually in the amount of $3.6 million over afive-year period with a balloon payment of the remaining balance due on the last month. Interest on both the revolving line of credit and the term loan is charged based upon an increment over the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or a base rate, at the Company’s option. The base rate is calculated as the highest of (a) the Prime rate, (b) the sum of the Overnight Funding Rate plus 50 basis points and (c) the sum of the Daily SOFR Rate plus 100 basis points. The increment over the SOFR borrowing rate fluctuates between 100 and 225 basis points, and the increment over the Base Rate fluctuates between 0 and 125 basis points, both of which depend upon the ratio of indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), as defined in the line of credit agreement. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has no borrowings against its revolving line of credit. If the Company had borrowed on its revolving line of credit, the borrowing rate as of March 31, 2024, would have been 6.6%. The increment over the SOFR borrowing rate will be 100 basis points for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The fee on the unused balance of the $75 million committed line of credit fluctuates between 15 and 25 basis points. Under the terms of this line of credit, the Company is required to comply with financial covenants that limit the ratio of indebtedness to EBITDA and require a minimum fixed charge ratio. As of March 31, 2024, the entire $75 million revolving line of credit was available for borrowing.

The Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants as of March 31, 2024.

NOTE 9 - CASH DIVIDENDS

The Company paid cash dividends of $4.3 million and $4.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023, respectively. In April 2024, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable May 14, 2024, to shareholders of record as of May 6, 2024. The indicated annual cash dividend rate is $0.20 per share.

NOTE 10 –EQUITY COMPENSATION

The 2019 Omnibus Award Plan (“2019 Omnibus Plan”) authorizes for issuance up to 2,350,000 shares. The purpose of the 2019 Omnibus Plan is to provide a means to attract and retain key personnel and to align the interests of the directors, officers, and employees with the Company’s shareholders. The plan also provides a vehicle whereby directors and officers may acquire shares in order to meet the ownership requirements under the Company’s Stock Ownership Policy. The 2019 Omnibus Plan allows for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units (“PSUs”) and other awards. While RSU grants are time-based, PSU grants offer participants the opportunity to acquire shares over athree-year performance measurement period tied to specific company performance metrics. As of March 31, 2024,1,944,773 shares remain available for issuance under the 2019 Omnibus Plan.

In the first nine months of fiscal 2024, the Company granted 175,251 PSUs and 116,834 RSUs, both with a weighted average market value of $12.76. Stock compensation expense was $0.9 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and $2.9 million and $2.3 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company granted 30,000 inducement stock options, with a weighted average fair market value of $14.41. Stock compensation expense was $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, respectively.

In November of 2021, our board of directors approved the LSI Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). A total of 270,000 shares of common stock were provided for issuance under the ESPP. Employees may participate at their discretion and are able to purchase, through payroll deduction, common stock at a 10% discount on a quarterly basis. Employees may end their participation at any time during the offering period, and participation ends automatically upon termination of employment with the company. During the first nine months of fiscal year 2024, employees purchased 11,000 shares. At March 31, 2024,245,000 shares remained available for purchase under the ESPP.

NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is party to various negotiations, customer bankruptcies, and legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. The Company provides reserves for these matters when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. Because it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome or costs of these matters, the Company does not disclose a range of potential losses. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.

The Company may occasionally issue a standby letter of credit in favor of third parties. As of March 31, 2024, there wereno such standby letters of credit issued.

NOTE 13 - 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. The Company also has one sublease. All but two of the Company’s leases are operating leases. Leases have a remaining term ofone toseven 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. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, the rent expense for these leases is immaterial.

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 14–** 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.
