Note 1. – Basis of Presentation of Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Video Display Corporation, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Video Display,” the “Company,” “we,” or “us”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 2021 has been derived from audited financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of, and for the three and nine months ended, November 30, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared in accordance with (i) accounting p

inciples generally accepted in the U.S. for interim financial information and (ii) the instructions to Form

10-Q

and Rule

10-01

of Regulation

S-X

of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, such statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for a complete presentation of financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including those of a normal, recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending February 28, 2022. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Video Display’s Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the year ended February 28, 2021 filed with the SEC on May 28, 2021.

Note 2. – Going Concern, Banking & Liquidity

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company reported a net loss and a decrease in working capital and liquid assets for the nine month period ending November 30, 2021 primarily due to a decrease in revenues in three of four divisions along with a decrease in accounts receivables and inventory. The Company has sustained losses for the last three of five fiscal years and has seen overall a decline in working capital and liquid assets during this five year period due to a combination of decreasing revenues across certain divisions without a commensurate reduction of expenses. The Company’s working capital and liquid asset position are presented below (in thousands) as of November 30, 2021 and February 28, 2021:


	November 30, 2021		February 28, 2021
Working capital	$	1,527	$	3,601
Liquid assets	$	215	$	293

The Company has increased marketing efforts in its ruggedized displays, TEMPEST products and services and small specialty displays. In addition, the Company has streamlined its operations and is focusing on increasing revenues by executing initiatives such as upgrading its sales and marketing efforts including a more user friendly website, the hiring of an experienced Rugged Display Business Development Manager, increasing the number of customer visits and trade shows post pandemic in order to market the Company’s product lines. These efforts have not increased revenues to date as the Company’s business typically has a longer lead time from initial contact to a sale. The pandemic has also slowed down the process of obtaining new business as many of our customers and potential customers are still working from home. The Company has expanded its cyber security business by adding an additional test chamber and test equipment to provide additional TEMPEST service capabilities and for qualifying TEMPEST products allowing it to increase the business in cyber testing services to supplement the product side of the business. The Company just completed and had accredited its new AIS system which will allow for the opportunity to increase the service business. The Company also completed the transfer of the remaining CRT operations in Florida to its Lexel Imaging facility in Lexington, KY in order to make room for new business in its Cocoa facility. This will also reduce expenses in the CRT operation by having that business all under one roof. The Company also moved the corporate accounting functions to the Cocoa, Florida location which allows the Company to become more efficient and save money on reducing redundant operations.

November 30, 2021

In order to assist funding operating activity, the Company’s CEO

has

loaned $457,568

in aggregate to the

Company during the second and third quarters of fiscal 2022. There are no repayment terms related to the loan; however, the Company plans to repay the note within the next twelve months and therefore has classified the loan as a current liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of November 30, 2021.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of management’s plans to improve revenues, the operational effectiveness of continuing operations, the procurement of suitable financing, or a combination of these. The uncertainty regarding the potential success of management’s plan create substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Note 3. – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU

2019-12, Income

Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU

2019-12”),

which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new ASU also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates. These changes aim to improve the overall usefulness of disclosures to financial statement users and reduce unnecessary costs to companies when preparing the disclosures. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning on March 1, 2021 and prescribes different transition methods for the various provisions. Effective March 1, 2021, we adopted ASU

2019-12

with no material impact on the Company’s financial statements or related disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU

2016-13,

Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost, including trade receivables. ASU

2016-13

replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss model that requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022 for smaller reporting companies, with early adoption permitted. Entities will apply the amendments using a modified retrospective approach. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU

2016-13

to have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 4. - Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or market and consisted of the following (in thousands):

Reserves for obsolescence		—		(798	)

	$	3,088	$	4,027

Video Display Corporation and Subsidiaries

November 30, 2021

The Company has maintained inventory on hand to support discontinued products and has made purchases to have product available for its customers while they transitioned to newer technologies. Products the Company maintain lasts many years and the timeframe for possible replacement has been difficult to estimate. As a result, the Company has historically recorded an inventory reserve to offset any obsolescence or slow moving inventory concerns related to CRT inventory and component parts for legacy products. Although management believed that the related value of inventory that was reserved would be sold in the future, a reserve was historically recorded for obsolescence due to the uniqueness and age of the related inventory. In third quarter fiscal 2022, management continued to challenge the valuation of its inventory while considering current market conditions and recent sales activity for the related inventory and made the determination to write off the inventory reserve against the related value of the inventory. Also, due to depressed sales for the nine month period ending November 30, 2021 and the market for certain products, an additional $827 thousand inventory charge was recorded to cost of sales. These adjustments were required in order to properly state the inventory value at the lower of cost or market.

Note 5. – Paycheck Protection Promissory (“PPP”) Related Loans

On April 13, 2020 our Lexel Imaging subsidiary entered into a PPP loan for

$216,200

and on January 27, 2021 entered into a second round PPP loan for

$304,442. On April 23, 2020, Video Display Corporation entered into a $772,000

first round PPP loan and on February 11, 2021, entered into a second round PPP loan for

$780,112.

The PPP loans were made under, and were subject to the terms and conditions of, the PPP which was established under the CARES Act and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. Under the terms of the CARES Act, recipients can apply for and receive forgiveness for all, or a portion of the loans granted under the PPP. Su

h forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for certain permissible purposes as set forth in the PPP, including, but not limited to, payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent or utility costs (collectively, “Qualifying Expenses”), and on the maintenance of employee and compensation levels during a certain time period following the funding of the PPP loans.

The Company has used the proceeds of the PPP

oans for Qualifying Expenses. In fiscal 2021, the Company received forgiveness on the first round $216,200 Lexel Imaging PPP

oan in November 2020 and on the first round $772,000 Video Display PPP

oan in December 2020.

The Company received forgiveness on the second round of PPP loans

($1,084,554 in aggregate)

in August 2021. The forgiveness qualified as a gain on extinguishment of debt on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and the related liability was removed from the condensed consolidated balance sheets based on the forgiveness date of the related PPP loan.

Note 8. – Shareholders’ Equity

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Shares issued during the period are weighted for the portion of the period that they were outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated in a manner consistent with that of basic earnings (loss) per share while giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands, except per share data):

Stock options, debentures, and other liabilities convertible into 200,000

shares of the Company’s common stock were anti-dilutive and, therefore, were excluded from the three and nine months ended November 30, 2021 loss per share calculations. All options were fully vested related to the periods presented. In addition, no new options or equity awards have been granted for the periods

presented.

Stock Repurchase Program

The

Company has a stock repurchase program, pursuant to

which it had been authorized to repurchase up to 2,632,500 shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market. On January 20

, 2014

, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a

one

-time

continuation of the stock repurchase program, and authorized the Company to repurchase up to 1,500,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market. There is no

minimum number of shares required to be repurchased under the program.

For the nine months ending November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020, the Company did not purchase any shares of the Video Display Corporation stock. Under the Company’s stock repurchase program, an additional 490,186 shares remain authorized to be repurchased by the Company at November 30, 2021.

Note 9. – Income Taxes

Due to the Company’s overall and historical net loss position, no income tax provision was reported for the nine month periods ending November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020. In addition, a full valuation allowance was allocated to the deferred tax asset created by these losses.

On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”). The ARPA includes several provisions, such as measures that extend and expand the employee retention credit, previously enacted under the CARES Act, through December 31, 2021. For the three and nine months ended November 30, 2021, the Company recorded an employee retention credit of $796 thousand. This credit has been recorded as an employee retention credit refund receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and as employee retention credit income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company has recorded these amounts at November 30, 2021 as management believes collection is probable as the conditions in order to receive the refund have been met.

Note 10. – Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings related to claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not currently party to any legal proceedings the result of which management believes is likely to have a material adverse impact on its business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company also completed the transfer of the remaining CRT operations in Florida to its Lexel Imaging facility in Lexington, KY in order to make room for new business in its Cocoa facility. This will also reduce expenses in the CRT operation by having that business all under one roof. The Company also moved the corporate accounting functions to the Cocoa, Florida location which allows the Company to become more efficient and save money on reducing redundant operations.

In order to assist funding operating activity, the Company’s CEO has loaned $457,568 in aggregate to the Company during the second and third quarters of fiscal 2022. There are no repayment terms related to the loan; however, the Company plans to repay the note within the next twelve months and therefore has classified the loan as a current liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of November 30, 2021.

Inventory management

– Management regularly reviews the Company’s investment in inventories for declines in value and writes down the cost when it is apparent that the expected net realizable value of the inventory falls below its carrying amount. The Company operates in an environment of constantly changing technologies and retains a certain amount of inventory for legacy products for maintenance and replacement capabilities for its customers. The Company also inventories product to ensure it has adequate inventory to fulfill orders for transitioning product lines. Management reviews inventory levels on a quarterly basis. Such reviews include observations of product development trends of the original equipment manufacturers, new products being marketed, and technological advances relative to the product capabilities of the Company’s existing inventories.

Impact of

COVID-19

– The Company has been actively monitoring the novel

coronavirus, or COVID-19, situation and

its impact globally. Financial results for the three months and nine months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020 have been

impacted by COVID-19 due to

delayed orders and/or the fulfillment of the related orders. However, the Company currently does not expect any material impact on our financial results for the remainder of fiscal 2022. Management continues to operate normally with the exception of enabling employees to work from home and abiding by travel restrictions issued by federal and local governments.

If the COVID-19 pandemic continues,

the Company may experience other disruptions that could severely impact the business, results of operations and prospects.

Net sales

Consolidated net sales decreased 39.3% for the nine months ended November 30, 2021, and decreased 43.5% for the three months ended November 30, 2021 compared to the nine months and three months ended November 30, 2020. The Company’s AYON Cyber Security (ACS) division is down 61.8% for the nine months ending November 30, 2021 compared to the nine months last year. The business decreased due to lack of product orders for the Department of the State and Canada. The Company is developing new products for customers in this area and expects to have them reviewed by customers in the early part of next year. The Company’s service side of the cyber business (testing other company’s products for compliance) is the primary revenue source. For the three months ending November 30, 2021, ACS business decreased 64.0%. The Display Systems division was down 39.8% for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 compared to the comparable period last year. 33.1% of the division’s business has been in the new specialized displays area. The other approximate two thirds is mixed between different programs including ruggedized displays, simulation and video walls. For the three months ended November 30, 2021, the Display System division was down 53.8% compared to the same three months last year. The Company is focused on the ruggedized displays and simulation sectors of the business, having recently received an order for simulation and pursuing opportunities in both the ruggedized displays and simulation business. The Data Display division decreased 45.7% for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 due to decreases in the sales of a specialty product know as a DVST (Direct view storage tube) because of delays caused by

Covid-19,

but increased 27.2% for three months ended November 30, 2021 due to increased CRT sales. The division expects to sell the DVST products for at least the next five to seven years. The Company’s keyboard division was up 6.8% for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 and down 15.2% for three months ended November 30, 2021 respectively compared to the same periods last year. This division experienced increased sales with the new product line introduced last year, but sales have now leveled off. This division is expected to continue at this level of sales each quarter.

Gross margins

Consolidated gross margins decreased both as a percentage to sales (2.6%) to 23.8% and actual dollars ($137) thousand to $2,111 thousand for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended November 30, 2020.

VDC Display Systems gross margin dollars were $461 thousand compared to $1,683 thousand for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended November 30, 2020. VDC Display Systems gross margin percentage also decreased from 32.5% to 14.8% for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 compared to the same nine months in 2020. AYON Cyber Security gross margin dollars were $158 thousand compared to $210 thousand for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended November 30, 2020. AYON Cyber Security gross margin percentage increased to 28.7% from 14.6% for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 compared to the same nine month period in 2020 due to the sales mix of primarily service jobs as the material costs were lower.

November 30, 2021

The Data Display division had a negative gross margin of $1,072 thousand or a negative 151.4% compared to a negative gross margin of $147 thousand and a negative gross margin of 11.3% for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020 respectively. The negative gross margins were driven by $532 thousand of inventory write offs and fixed overhead. The keyboard division, Unicomp, had $315 thousand of gross margin dollars or 31.4% to sales for the nine months ending November 30, 2021 compared to $364 thousand or 38.7% for the nine months ending November 30, 2020.

For the three months ended November 30, 2021 compared to the same period last year, all four divisions reported lower gross margin dollars than last year. Overall gross margins for the quarter were down to the low sales volume caused by delays in receiving raw materials and other factors caused by Covid.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses decreased 7.4% or $261 thousand for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended November 30, 2020. The decrease was due primarily to the reduction of salaries and contractor expenses including commissions.

Operating expenses increased by 2.8% or $30 thousand for the three months ended November 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2020. The Company is focusing on reducing costs while increasing the sales effort. The Company expects to continue to control costs while increasing revenues in tempest services, specialized displays and ruggedized displays.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense was $20 thousand for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 compared to $35 thousand for the nine months ended November 30, 2020. Interest expense was $6 thousand for the three months ended November 30, 2021 compared to $4 thousand for the three months ended November 30, 2020. Interest expense in fiscal 2022 relates primarily to interest expense on the lease of TEMPEST equipment. Interest in fiscal 2021 primarily related to interest expense on notes owed to the CEO and the TEMPEST equipment lease.

Other income (expense), net

For the nine months ended November 30, 2021, the Company had $1.1 million in gains on the extinguishment of PPP loans, $796 thousand in employee retention credit income, $172 thousand in rental income, and $4 thousand in debt recovery offset by $5.4 thousand in commissions on the rental income. For the nine months ended November 30, 2020, the Company had $1,724 thousand in a gain on the sale of assets, $148 thousand in royalty income, $237 thousand in rental income, $216 thousand in gain on extinguishment of debt, $9 thousand in discontinued scrap items, and $5 thousand in investment gains.

For the three months ended November 30, 2021, the Company had $796 thousand in employee retention credit income, $64.4 thousand in rental income offset by $1.8 thousand in rental commissions. For the three months ended November 30, 2020 the Company had $1,724 thousand in a gain on the sale of assets, $216 thousand in gain on extinguishment of debt, $56 thousand in rental income, $11 thousand in investment gains and $3 thousand in scrap sales.

Income taxes

Due to the Company’s overall and historical net loss position, no income tax benefit has been reported and instead a full valuation allowance has been allocated to the deferred tax asset created by these losses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


	November 30, 2021		February 28, 2021

Working capital	$	1,527	$	3,601
Liquid assets	$	215	$	293

Management continues to implement plans to improve liquidity and to increase revenues at all divisions. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of management’s plans to improve revenues, the operational effectiveness of continuing operations, the procurement of suitable financing, or a combination of these. The uncertainty regarding the potential success of management’s plan create substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Cash used in operations for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 was $0.3 million. Adjustments to net loss were non cash operating items of $0.3 million for depreciation and amortization, $0.8 million for inventory related charges and $1.1 million related to the gain recorded on the extinguishment of the remaining PPP loans. Changes in working capital provided $1.0 million, primarily from $0.6 million in accounts receivable, $0.1 million from the decrease in inventory, $0.7 million from the change in contract assets and $0.4 million from the change in accounts payable and accrued liabilities partially offset by a $0.8 million in employee retention credit refund receivable. Cash used by operations for the nine months ended November 30, 2020 was $2.7 million. Significant adjustments to net income included $1.9 million in gains resulting from the sale of a building and forgiveness of a PPP loan. Changes in working capital used $2.0 million, primarily due to an increase in contract assets of $0.9 million, an increase in custom deposits of $0.6 million and an increase in inventories $0.8 million, offset by a decrease in prepaid expenses of $0.2 million and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $0.1 million.

Investing activities used $56 thousand for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 all related to capital asset expenditures. For the nine months ended November 30, 2020, cash provided by investing activities was $2 million and resulted primarily from the sale of a building in third quarter fiscal 2021.

Financing activities provided $0.3 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 compared to $0.2 million for the comparable period in the prior year. For the nine months ended November 30, 2021, $458 thousand was provided resulting from borrowings from the CEO offset by the repayment of notes of $74 thousand and lease financing of $57 thousand. Financing activities provided $0.2 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2020 resulting from $1.0 million in proceeds received from the PPP loans, $0.4 million in proceeds borrowed from the CEO offset by repayments of $1.2 million in related party loans.

The Company has a stock repurchase program, pursuant to which it has been authorized to repurchase up to 2,632,500 shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market. On January 20, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a

one-time

continuation of the stock repurchase program, and authorized the Company to repurchase up to 1,500,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock on the open market, depending on the market price of the shares. There is no minimum number of shares required to be repurchased under the program.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These principles require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. The accounting policies that may involve a higher degree of judgments, estimates, and complexity include reserves on inventories, revenue recognition, and the sufficiency of the valuation reserve related to deferred tax assets. The Company uses the following methods and assumptions in determining its estimates:

Inventory Valuation

Management regularly reviews the Company’s investment in inventories for declines in value and writes down the cost when it is apparent that the expected net realizable value of the inventory falls below its carrying amount. The Company operates in an environment of constantly changing technologies and retains a certain amount of inventory for legacy products for maintenance and replacement capabilities for its customers. The Company also inventories product it acquires on a last-time buy basis to ensure it has adequate inventory to fulfill orders for transitioning product lines. Management reviews inventory levels on a quarterly basis. Such reviews include observations of product development trends of the original equipment manufacturers, new products being marketed, and technological advances relative to the product capabilities of the Company’s existing inventories. Management believes its inventory values at November 30, 2021 and February 28, 2021 are adequate.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when we transfer control of the promised products or services to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services. We derive our revenue primarily from sales of simulation and video wall systems, cyber secure products, data displays, and keyboards. We exclude sales and usage-based taxes from revenue.

Our simulation and video wall systems are custom-built (using commercial

off-the-shelf

products) to customer specifications under fixed price contracts. Judgment is required to determine whether each product and service is considered to be a distinct performance obligation that should be accounted for separately under the contract. Generally, these contracts contain one performance obligation (the installation of a fully functional system). We recognize revenue for these systems over time as control is transferred based on labor hours incurred on each project.

We recognize revenue related to our cyber secure products, data displays, and keyboards at a point in time when control is transferred to the customer (generally upon shipment of the product to the customer).

Timing of invoicing to customers may differ from timing of revenue recognition; however, our contracts do not include a significant financing component as substantially all of our invoices have terms of 30 days or less. We are applying the practical expedient to exclude from consideration any contracts with payment terms of one year or less and we never offer terms extending beyond one year.

Other Loss Contingencies

Other loss contingencies are recorded as liabilities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Disclosure is required when there is a reasonable possibility that the ultimate loss will exceed the recorded provision. Contingent liabilities are often resolved over long time periods. Estimating probable losses requires analysis of multiple factors that often depend on judgments about potential actions by third parties.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. As of November 30, 2021, the Company has established a valuation allowance of $5.6 million on the Company’s deferred tax assets.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions under the provisions of ASC 740, which contains a

two-step

approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not, that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating the Company’s tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments. At November 30, 2021, the Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions.
