NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
 
NOTE 1  -  INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all normal adjustments and disclosures necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its cash flows for the six month periods ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes included in the fiscal 2020 Annual Report on Form 10 -K. Financial information as of June 30, 2020 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 2020 Annual Report on Form 10 -K. Significant changes to our accounting policies as a result of adopting Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016 - 02 (“ASU 2016 - 02” ), “Leases (Topic 842 )” (ASC 842 ) in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 are discussed below.
 
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 Graphics and select Lighting products are highly 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 print graphics branding
  ●
Electrical components based on customer specifications
  ●
Digital signage and related media content
 
The Company also offers installation services for its Graphics and select Lighting products. Installation revenue is recognized over time as our 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 contract.

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:
 
On July 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016 - 02 using a modified-retrospective transition method, under which it elected not to adjust comparative periods. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the new guidance. In addition, the Company elected accounting policies to not record short-term leases on the balance sheet and to not separate lease and non-lease components.
 
The Company’s most significant leases are those related to certain manufacturing facilities along with a small office space. Besides these real estate leases, most other leases are insignificant and consist of leases related to a vehicle, forklifts and various office equipment. The adoption of the new lease standard resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) of $ 10.4 million, lease liabilities of $ 10.8 million which includes the impact of existing deferred rents and tenant improvement allowances and a $ 0.4 million adjustment to retained earnings on the consolidated balance sheets as of July 1, 2019 for the Company’s real estate leases. The adoption of the standard resulted in no material impact to the consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flow.

On July 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016 - 13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326 ): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" (ASC 326 or "CECL"), which amended the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The adoption of ASU 2016 - 13 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
 
Subsequent Events:
 
The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date the consolidated financial statements were filed.   No items were identified during this evaluation that required adjustment to or disclosure in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
 
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’s two operating segments are Lighting and Graphics, 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 outdoor and indoor lighting utilizing both traditional and LED light sources that have been fabricated and assembled for the Company’s markets, primarily petroleum/convenience stores, parking lot and garage markets, automotive dealerships, quick-service restaurants, grocery and pharmacy stores, and retail/national accounts. The Company serves these lighting product customers through the commercial, industrial, stock and flow, and renovation channels. 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 Graphics Segment designs, manufactures and installs exterior and interior visual image elements such as traditional graphics, interior branding, electrical and architectural signage, active digital signage along with the management of media content related to digital signage and menu board systems that are either digital or print by design. These products are used in visual image programs in several markets including the petroleum/convenience store market, quick-service restaurant market, the grocery store and pharmacy markets, as well as customers with multi-site retail operations. The Graphics Segment implements, installs and provides program management services related to products sold by the Graphics Segment and by the Lighting Segment.
 
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 expenses, 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 was no concentration of consolidated net sales in the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.  There was no concentration of accounts receivable at December 31, 2020 or June 30, 2020.

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 fair value measurements of the reporting units are based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements as defined by ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements.” The use of different assumptions would increase or decrease estimated discounted future operating cash flows and could increase or decrease an impairment charge. Company management uses its judgment in assessing whether assets may have become impaired between annual impairment tests. Indicators such as adverse business conditions, economic factors and technological change or competitive activities may signal that an asset has become impaired.
 
The Company identified its reporting units in conjunction with its annual goodwill impairment testing. The Company has a total of two reporting units that contain goodwill. There is one reporting unit within the Lighting Segment and one reporting unit within the Graphics Segment. The Company relies upon a number of factors, judgments and estimates when conducting its impairment testing including, but not limited to, the Company’s stock price, operating results, forecasts, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and judgments in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment.

NOTE 8  - REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT
 
The Company has a $ 75 million secured line of credit that expires in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Interest on the revolving line of credit is charged based upon an increment over the LIBOR rate as periodically determined, or at the bank’s base lending rate, at the Company’s option. The increment over the LIBOR borrowing rate, as periodically determined, fluctuates between 125 and 250 basis points depending upon the ratio of indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), as defined in the line of credit agreement. The increment over LIBOR borrowing rate will be 125 basis points for the third quarter of fiscal 2021.  The Company expects to seek additional provisions for alternative interest rates when certain interbank offered rates are no longer available. The fee on the unused balance of the $75 million committed line of credit is 20 basis points. Under the terms of this line of credit, the Company has agreed to a negative pledge of real estate assets and is required to comply with financial covenants that limit the ratio of indebtedness to EBITDA and require a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. As of December 31, 2020, there were no borrowings against the line of credit, and $ 75.0 million was available as of that date.
 
The Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants as of December 31, 2020.
 
 
NOTE 9  -  CASH DIVIDENDS
 
The Company paid cash dividends of $ 2.6 million in both the six months ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Dividends on restricted stock units in the amount of $ 104,346 and $ 52,383 were accrued as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These dividends will be paid upon the vesting of the restricted stock units when shares are issued to the award recipients. In January 2021, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $ 0.05 per share payable February 9, 2021 to shareholders of record as of February 1, 2021 . The indicated annual cash dividend rate is $ 0.20 per share.
 
 
NOTE 10  – EQUITY COMPENSATION
 
In November 2019, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2019 Omnibus Award Plan ( “2019 Omnibus Plan”). The purpose of the 2019 Omnibus Plan is to provide a means through which the Company may attract and retain key personnel and to provide a means by which directors, officers, and employees can acquire and maintain an equity interest in the Company. The number of shares that remain reserved for issuance under the 2019 Omnibus Plan is 2,839,677 as of December 31, 2020. The 2019 Omnibus Plan implements the use of a fungible share ratio that consumes 2.5 available shares for every full value share awarded by the Company as stock compensation. 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 stock-based awards.
 
In the first half of fiscal 2021, the Company granted 318,406 non-qualified stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $ 6.86 , 134,017 PSUs with a weighted average fair value of $ 6.80 and 133,126 RSUs with a weighted average fair value of $ 6.81 . Stock compensation expense was $ 0.4 million and $ 0.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $ 0.9 million and $ 0.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

NOTE 1 2 - 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. The Company does not disclose a range of potential loss because the likelihood of such a loss is remote. 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 December 31, 2020, there were no such standby letters of credit issued.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company sold its New Windsor, New York facility. The net proceeds from the sale were $ 12.3 million resulting in a gain of $ 4.8 million. The Company also incurred additional restructuring costs totaling $ 0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 related to the closure of the New Windsor facility, which impacted both the Lighting and Graphics segment.
 
Restructuring costs incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 related to the realignment of the Company’s manufacturing footprint at its Houston, Texas facility, which impacted the Graphics segment.

NOTE 15 - LEASES
 
The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities along with a small office space, a company vehicle, several forklifts, several small tooling items, and various items of office equipment. All but one of the Company’s leases are operating leases. Leases have a remaining term of one to seven 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 six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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. The adoption of the new lease standard resulted in the recognition of ROU assets of $ 10.4 million and lease liabilities of $ 10.8 million which includes the impact of existing deferred rents and tenant improvement allowances on the consolidated balance sheets as of July 1, 2019 for the Company’s real estate leases. The adoption of the new standard resulted in no material impact to the consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flow.

NOTE 1 6 – 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.
 
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law in March 2020. The CARES Act allows the Company to carry back a federal net operating loss to prior tax years, offset taxable income in those earlier tax years and obtain a refund of income taxes that were paid at a higher statutory tax rate. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the IRS issued Treasury Regulations resulting in an increase to the expected net operating loss that can be carried back and the Company recognized an additional tax benefit of $ 0.4 million.
 
In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company sold its New Windsor facility resulting in a book gain of $ 4.8 million. The Company was able to utilize a deferred tax asset of $ 0.9 million related to the sale of the facility.

Future developments, such as the actions taken by governmental authorities in response to future outbreaks are highly uncertain and unpredictable, will determine the extent to which COVID-19 continues to impact our results of operations and financial conditions. See the risk factor captioned “Our financial condition and results of operations for fiscal 2021 and future periods may be adversely affected by the recent novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) outbreak or other outbreaks of infectious disease or similar public health threats and the resulting economic impact” in Item 1A, Risk Factors, included in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 for an additional discussion of risks related to COVID-19.

Summary of Consolidated Results
 
Net sales of $76.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 decreased $6.0 million or 7% as compared to net sales of $82.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019. Net sales were unfavorably influenced by decreased net sales of the Lighting Segment (a decrease of $8.3 million or 16%), partially offset by increased net sales of the Graphics Segment (an increase of $2.3 million or 8%).
 
Net sales of $146.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020 decreased $24.7 million or 14% as compared to net sales of $171.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019. Net sales were unfavorably influenced by decreased net sales of the Lighting Segment (a decrease of $26.1 million or 22%), partially offset by increased net sales of the Graphics Segment (an increase of $1.4 million or 3%).
 
Operating income of $2.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 represents a $0.9 million increase from operating income of $1.8 million in the three months ended December 31, 2019. When the impact of restructuring and plant closure costs, stock compensation expense and severance costs are removed from the operating results, adjusted operating income, a Non-GAAP measure, was $3.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to $2.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2019. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
 
Operating income of $4.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020 represents a $3.7 million decrease from operating income of $8.6 million in the six months ended December 31, 2019. The $3.7 million decrease from fiscal 2020 was impacted by the sale of the New Windsor, New York facility in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 which favorably resulted in a pre-tax gain of $4.8 million. When the impact of the sale of the New Windsor facility, other restructuring and plant closure costs, stock compensation expense and severance costs are removed from the operating results, adjusted operating income, a Non-GAAP measure, was $5.8 million in the six months ended December 31, 2020 compared to $4.9 million in the six months ended December 31, 2019. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
 
As of December 31, 2020, we reported a cash balance of $13.6 million and no long-term debt. We believe that our liquidity position is adequate to meet our projected needs in the reasonably foreseeable future.
 
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
We believe it is appropriate to evaluate our performance after making adjustments to the as-reported U.S. GAAP operating income, net income, and earnings per share. Adjusted operating income, net income and earnings per share, which exclude the impact of restructuring and plant closure costs (gains), stock compensation expense and severance costs are Non-GAAP financial measures. Also included below are Non-GAAP financial measures including Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA), Free Cash Flow and Net Debt. We believe that these adjusted supplemental measures are useful in assessing the operating performance of our business. These supplemental measures are used by our management, including our chief operating decision maker, to evaluate business results. Although the impacts of some of these items have been recognized in prior periods and could recur in future periods, we exclude these items because they provide greater comparability and enhanced visibility into our results of operations. Below is a reconciliation of these Non-GAAP measures to operating income, net income, and earnings per share for the periods indicated along with the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Net Debt.

Lighting Segment net sales of $45.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2020 decreased 16% from net sales of $53.4 million in the same period in fiscal 2020. The impact of COVID-19 disruptions on construction markets continued to adversely affect sales in the Lighting segment.
 
Gross profit of $13.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2020 decreased $1.8 million or 12% from the same period of fiscal 2020. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 30.4% in the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to 29.0% in the same period of fiscal 2020. The growth in gross profit as a percentage of net sales reflects the ongoing impact of our focus on higher-value market applications and cost management.
 
Selling and administrative expenses of $11.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2020 decreased $0.8 million from the same period of fiscal 2020, primarily driven by programs to reduce spending as a result of the pandemic.
 
Lighting Segment operating income of $2.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 decreased $1.0 million from operating income of $3.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2020 primarily due to lower sales partially offset by lower operating expenses.

Graphics Segment net sales of $31.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2020 increased $2.3 million or 8% from net sales of $28.9 million in the same period in fiscal 2020. The increase in sales is due to growth in our Grocery and Quick-Service Restaurants verticals.
 
Gross profit of $6.0 million in the three months ended December 31, 2020 increased $1.5 million or 35% from the same period of fiscal 2020. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 19.2% in the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to 15.4% in the same period in fiscal 2020, primarily within the Petroleum and Grocery verticals.
 
Selling and administrative expenses of $2.9 million decreased $0.2 million from $3.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2020. The decrease in selling and administrative expenses was due to programs to reduce spending as a result of the pandemic.
 
Graphics Segment operating income of $3.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2020 increased $1.8 million from operating income of $1.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2020. The increase of $1.8 million was primarily due to improved gross profit margin and a reduction in operating expenses.

Administrative expenses of $2.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2020 decreased $0.2 million or 6% from the same period of fiscal 2020. The net decrease was the result of programs to contain and reduce costs during the pandemic.
 
Consolidated Results
 
We reported $0.1 million net interest expense in the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to $0.2 million net interest expense in the three months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in interest expense from fiscal 2020 to fiscal 2021 is the result of lower levels of debt outstanding on our line of credit. We also recorded other income of $0.1 million in both the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, both of which are related to net foreign exchange currency transaction gains and losses through our Mexican subsidiary.
 
The $0.6 million income tax expense in the three months ended December 31, 2020 represents a consolidated effective tax rate of 20.0%. This compares to a $0.1 million income tax benefit in the three months ended December 31, 2019 due to the utilization of a capital loss carryforward related to the capital gain on the sale of the North Canton, Ohio facility. 
 
We reported net income of $2.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to net income of $1.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2019. Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $2.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to adjusted net income of $1.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 (Refer to the Non-GAAP tables above). The increase in Non-GAAP adjusted net income is primarily the net result of an improved gross profit margin, reduction in operating expenses and decreased interest expense, partially offset by decreased net sales. Diluted earnings per share of $0.08 was reported in the three months ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $0.07 diluted earnings per share in the same period of fiscal 2020. The weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share in the three months ended December 31, 2020 were 27,360,000 shares as compared to 26,534,000 shares in the same period last year.

Lighting Segment net sales of $90.5 million in the six months ended December 31, 2020 decreased 22% from net sales of $116.6 million in the same period in fiscal 2020. The impact of COVID-19 disruptions on construction markets continues to adversely affect sales in the Lighting segment.
 
Gross profit of $27.5 million in the six months ended December 31, 2020 decreased $5.2 million or 16% from the same period of fiscal 2020. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 30.4% in the six months ended December 31, 2020 compared to 28.1% in the same period of fiscal 2020. The growth in gross profit as a percentage of net sales reflects the ongoing impact of our focus on higher-value market applications and cost management.
 
Selling and administrative expenses of $21.8 million in the six months ended December 31, 2020 increased $1.4 million from the same period of fiscal 2020, primarily due to the $4.8 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the New Windsor facility in the prior year, partially offset by programs to reduce spending as a result of the pandemic

Lighting Segment operating income of $5.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020 decreased $6.6 million from operating income of $12.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2020 primarily due to the $4.8 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the New Windsor facility in the first half of fiscal 2020. Non-GAAP adjusted operating income was $5.9 million in the six months ended December 31, 2020 compared to adjusted operating income of $7.7 million in the six months ended December 31, 2019 (refer to the Non-GAAP table below for a reconciliation of Lighting Segment operating income to adjusted operating income).

Graphics Segment net sales of $55.9 million in the six months ended December 31, 2020 increased $1.4 million or 3% from net sales of $54.5 million in the same period in fiscal 2020. The increase in sales is from growth in our Grocery and Quick-Service Restaurants verticals partially offset by a reduction in our Petroleum vertical.
 
Gross profit of $10.4 million in the six months ended December 31, 2020 increased $1.4 million or 15% from the same period of fiscal 2020. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 18.7 % in the six months ended December 31, 2020 compared to 16.7% in the same period in fiscal 2020, primarily within our Petroleum and Grocery verticals.
 
Selling and administrative expenses of $5.5 million decreased $1.2 million from $6.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2020. The decrease in selling and administrative expenses was due to lower operating costs as a result of an organizational restructuring executed in the second half of fiscal 2020 and a program to reduce spending as a result of the pandemic.
 
Graphics Segment operating income of $5.0 million in the six months ended December 31, 2020 increased $2.6 million from operating income of $2.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2020. The increase of $2.6 million was primarily due to improved gross profit margin and a reduction in operating expenses.

Consolidated Results
 
We reported $0.1 million net interest expense in the six months ended December 31, 2020 compared to $0.7 million net interest expense in the six months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in interest expense from fiscal 2020 to fiscal 2021 is the result of lower levels of debt outstanding on our line of credit. We also recorded other income of $0.2 million in the six months ended December 31, 2020 compared to other income of $9,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2019, both of which are related to net foreign exchange currency transaction gains and losses through our Mexican subsidiary.
 
The $0.8 million income tax expense in the six months ended December 31, 2020 represents a consolidated effective tax rate of 16.2% and was driven by a favorable deferred tax asset adjustment related to a net operating loss carryback from the CARES Act. The $1.7 million income tax expense in the six months ended December 31, 2019 represents a consolidated effective tax rate of 21.7% influenced mostly by a discrete item related to stock-based compensation expense and the utilization of a capital loss carryforward related to the capital gain on the sale of the North Canton, Ohio facility.
 
We reported net income of $4.2 million in the six months ended December 31, 2020 compared to net income of $6.2 million in the six months ended December 31, 2019. Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $4.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020 compared to adjusted net income of $3.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019 (Refer to the Non-GAAP tables above). The increase in Non-GAAP adjusted net income is primarily the net result of an improved gross profit margin, decreased interest expense and a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by decreased net sales. Diluted earnings per share of $0.15 was reported in the six months ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $0.24 diluted earnings per share in the same period of fiscal 2020. The weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share in the six months ended December 31, 2020 were 27,161,000 shares as compared to 26,364,000 shares in the same period last year.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources  
 
We consider our level of cash on hand, borrowing capacity, current ratio and working capital levels to be our most important measures of short-term liquidity. For long-term liquidity indicators, we believe our ratio of long-term debt to equity and our historical levels of net cash flows from operating activities to be the most important measures.
 
At December 31, 2020, we had working capital of $58.2 million compared to $51.2 million at June 30, 2020. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.41 to 1 as compared to a ratio of 2.48 to 1 at June 30, 2020. The $7.0 million increase in working capital from June 30, 2020 to December 31, 2020 is primarily driven by a $10.1 million increase in cash. While working capital has increased, non-cash working capital decreased as we continue to effectively manage it in the face of constantly changing market conditions due to COVID-19.
 
Net accounts receivable was $44.5 million and $37.8 million at December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively. DSO decreased to 52 days at December 31, 2020 from 56 days at June 30, 2020. We believe that our receivables are ultimately collectible or recoverable, net of certain reserves, and that aggregate allowances for doubtful accounts are adequate.
 
Net inventories of $34.8 million at December 31, 2020 decreased $3.9 million from $38.8 million at June 30, 2020. The decrease of $3.9 million is the result of a decrease in gross inventory of $3.6 million and an increase in obsolescence reserves of $0.3 million. Based on a strategy of balancing inventory reductions with customer service and the timing of shipments, net inventory decreased $4.2 million in the six months ended December 31, 2020 in the Lighting Segment which was partially offset by an increase in net inventory in the Graphics Segment of $0.3 million.
 
Cash generated from operations and borrowing capacity under our line of credit is our primary source of liquidity. We have a secured $75 million revolving line of credit with our bank, with $75 million of the credit line available as of January 22, 2021. This line of credit is a $75 million five-year credit line expiring in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. We are in compliance with all of our loan covenants. We believe that our $75 million line of credit plus cash flows from operating activities are adequate for fiscal 2021 operational and capital expenditure needs. However, as the impact of COVID-19 on the economy and our operations evolves, we will continue to assess our liquidity needs.
 
We generated $13.4 million of cash from operating activities in the six months ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $20.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2020. This $7.5 million decrease in net cash flows from operating activities is the result of a $10.2 million decrease in accounts receivable in the six months ended December 31, 2019, partially offset by our improved earnings in the current year period.

We used $0.9 million of cash related to investing activities in the six months ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $11.2 million of cash provided by investing activities in the same period of fiscal 2020, resulting in a decrease of $12.1 million. Capital expenditures were $0.9 million in the six months ended December 31, 2020 compared to $1.1 million in the same period in fiscal 2020. We sold our New Windsor manufacturing facility for $12.3 million in the six months ended December 31, 2019, which was the primary contributing factor to the decrease in cash flow from investing activities from fiscal 2020 to fiscal 2021.
 
We used $2.6 million of cash related to financing activities in the six months ended December 31, 2020 compared to $31.8 million in the six months ended December 31, 2019. The $29.2 million change in cash flow was primarily the net result of payments of long-term debt in excess of borrowings which was primarily driven by cash flow from operations and cash flow from investments due to the sale of the New Windsor facility.
 
We have on our balance sheet financial instruments consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, revolving lines of credit, and long-term debt. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value because of their short-term maturity and/or variable, market-driven interest rates.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk and have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
Cash Dividends
 
In January 2021, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable February 9, 2021 to shareholders of record as of February 1, 2021. The indicated annual cash dividend rate for fiscal 2021 is $0.20 per share. The Board of Directors has adopted a policy regarding dividends which indicates that dividends will be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion based upon its evaluation of earnings, cash flow requirements, financial condition, debt levels, stock repurchases, future business developments and opportunities, and other factors deemed relevant.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
