NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE A. GENERAL
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Daktronics,
Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Star Circuits, Inc. Intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Earnings per common and common equivalent share are calculated by dividing
the earnings for the period by the weighted average number of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding during the period, which includes the dilutive
effect of outstanding stock options and warrants.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements contain all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present
fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries
as of November 2, 1996 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the
three months and six months ended November 2, 1996 and October 28, 1995. These
results may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal
year.

NOTE C. LITIGATION
On May 4, 1995, the Company was served with a complaint, filed in the United
States District Court Northern District of Georgia, by Display Solutions, Inc.
alleging that the Company and Federal Sign Division of Federal Signal
Corporation infringed on the plaintiff's patent rights. Based on the opinion of
the Company's patent counsel, management of the Company believes that there is
no infringement and intends to defend the litigation vigorously. The case is in
its early stages and an evaluation of the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome,
or estimate of the range or amount of possible loss, if any, is unavailable.
On May 20, 1996, the Company filed a complaint in United States District
Court for the District of South Dakota Southern Division against Trans-Lux
Corporation requesting a declaratory judgement. Trans-Lux Corporation asserted
that the Company has infringed one certain patent. Based on the opinion of the
Company's patent counsel, management of the Company believes that there has been
no infringement and is seeking this declaratory judgement to affirm its
position.
ITEM 2. FINANCIAL REVIEW
(Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations)
The following discussion highlights the principal factors affecting changes
in financial condition and results of operations.
This review should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
GENERAL
The Company designs, manufactures and sells a wide range of
computer-programmable information display systems to customers in a variety of
markets throughout the world. The Company focuses its sales and marketing
efforts on markets rather than products. Major categories of markets include
Sports, Business and Government.
The Company's net sales and profitability historically have fluctuated due
to the impact of large product orders, such as display systems for the Olympic
Games and major league sports, as well as the seasonality of the sports market.
The Company's gross margins on large product orders tend to fluctuate more than
those for small standard orders. Large product orders that involve competitive
bidding and substantial subcontract work for product installation generally have
lower gross margins. Although the Company follows the percentage of completion
method of recognizing revenues for these large orders, the Company nevertheless
has experienced fluctuations in operating results and expects that its future
results of operations may be subject to similar fluctuations.
The Company operates on a 52-53 week fiscal year, with fiscal years ending
on the Saturday closest to April 30 of each year. The first three quarters end
on the Saturday closest to July 31, October 31 and January 31. The fiscal year
ending May 3, 1997, will be a 53-week year.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth the percentage of net sales represented by
items included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the
periods indicated:

====== ====== ====== ======
NET SALES
Net sales were $16.3 million and $33.3 million for the three and six months
ended November 2, 1996, compared to $14.5 million and $27.0 million for the
three and six months ended October 28, 1995, representing a increase of 12% for
the three month period and 23% for the six month period. The increase in net
sales for the three and six month periods was the result of increased sales in
most of the sports markets. The Company also experienced an increase in sales
volume of smaller orders in the sports and business markets over the same
periods.
Based on current backlog and customer quotations, the Company believes that
net sales for the last six months of fiscal year 1997 will be similar to and may
exceed the last six months of fiscal year 1996.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit increased 22% from $3.4 million for the three months ended
October 28, 1995 to $4.1 million for the three months ended November 2, 1996.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 23.1% for the three months ended
October 28, 1995 compared to 25.1% for the three months ended November 2, 1996.
The increase was the result of higher gross profit margins in the sports and
business markets.
Gross profit increased 39% from $6.1 million for the six months ended
October 28, 1995 to $8.5 million for the six months ended November 2, 1996.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 22.6% for the six months ended
October 28, 1995, compared to 25.5 % for the six months ended November 2, 1996.
The increase for the six month period was the result of the same conditions
previously mentioned.
Due in part to the impact of large orders and the amount of subcontracting
work associated with installation of these products, the Company expects that
its gross profit margin will continue to fluctuate in future periods.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Selling expenses increased 9% from $1.9 million for the three months ended
October 28, 1995, to $2.0 million for the three months ended November 2, 1996.
Selling expenses increased 14% from $3.6 million for the six months ended
October 28, 1995 to $4.1 million for the six months ended November 2, 1996. The
increases were due primarily to the addition of sales staff and increased
selling activity.
General and administrative expenses increased from $490,000 and $1.0 million
for the three and six months ended October 28, 1995 to $666,000 and $1.3 million
for the three and six months ended November 2, 1996. The increases were due to
increases in salary and personnel to support company growth.
Product design and development increased from $387,000 and $856,000 for the
three and six months ended October 28, 1995 to $560,000 and $1.1 million for the
three and six months ended November 2, 1996. The increases were due to a greater
number of product development projects to improve and upgrade existing products
and develop new products.
INTEREST INCOME
The Company occasionally sells products on an installment basis or in
exchange for advertising revenues from the scoreboard or display, both which
result in long-term receivables. Interest income increased from $72,000 and
$152,000 for the three and six months ended October 28, 1995 to $93,000 and
$186,000 for the three and six months ended November 2, 1996. The increase was
due to higher average balances of long-term receivables.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense increased from $174,000 and $220,000 for the three and six
month periods ended October 28, 1995 to $233,000 and $437,000 for the three and
six months ended November 2, 1996. The increase was due to an increase in
average loan balances to fund the increase in working capital to support sales
growth.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes was 37% and 40%
for the six months ended October 28, 1995 and November 2, 1996 respectively. The
increase was due to the rounding of state tax accruals and a decrease in
nontaxable interest income.
NET INCOME
Net income increased from $384,000 and $427,000 for the three and six months
ended October 28, 1995 to $443,000 and $1.1 million for the three and six months
ended November 2, 1996. The increase was due to increased net sales and an
increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales.
Management believes that one of the principal factors that will affect net
sales and income growth is the Company's ability to increase the marketing of
its products in existing markets and expand the marketing of its products to new
markets.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital was $10.1 million at November 2, 1996 and $9.5 million at
April 27, 1996. Working capital provided by net income, depreciation and
amortization was offset by purchases of property and equipment, repayment of
long-term debt and acquisition of advertising rights. The Company has
historically financed working capital needs through a combination of cash flow
from operations and borrowings under bank credit agreements.
Cash provided by operations for the six months ended November 2, 1996 was
$771,000. Net income of $1.1 million plus depreciation and amortization of
$721,000 were offset by increases in inventory and receivables including costs
and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts. Cash used
in investing activities consisted primarily of $1.2 million for purchase of
property and equipment, and was offset by $1.1 million in proceeds from sale of
real estate held for sale. Cash used in financing activities included $1.1
million of repayment of long-term debt and was offset by $314,000 net borrowings
provided from the Company's line of credit.
The Company has used and expects to use cash reserves and bank borrowings to
meet its short term working capital requirements. On large product orders, the
time between acceptance and completion may extend up to 12 months or more
depending on the amount of custom work and the customer's delivery needs. The
Company often receives a down payment or progress payments on these product
orders. To the extent that these payments are not sufficient to fund the costs
and other expenses associated with these orders, the Company uses working
capital and bank borrowings to finance these cash requirements.
As of November 2, 1996, the Company had a credit agreement with a bank
providing for an unsecured revolving line of credit of $10.0 million, which
includes up to $5.0 million for standby letters of credit. The line of credit is
at the prime rate as established by the bank from time to time ( 8.25 % at
November 2, 1996) and is due on September 30, 1997. As of November 2, 1996, $6.0
million had been drawn on the line of credit.
The Company is sometimes required to obtain performance bonds for display
installations. The Company currently has a bonding line available through an
insurance company that provides for an aggregate of $25.0 million in bonded work
outstanding. At November 2, 1996, the Company had $ 10.9 million of bonded work
outstanding against this line.
The Company believes that if its growth continues, it may need to increase
the amount of its credit facility. The Company anticipates that it will be able
to obtain any needed funds under reasonable terms from its current lender. The
Company believes that cash from operations, from its existing or increased
credit facility, and its current working capital will be adequate to meet the
cash requirements of its operation in the foreseeable future.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION REVOLVING NOTE
===============================================================================
$10,000,000.00 Sept 30, 1996
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Daktronics, Inc. (the "Borrower") promises to pay to the
order of Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association (the "Bank"), at its
Bloomington Office or such other address as the Bank or holder may designate
from time to time, the principal sum of Ten Million and No/100 Dollars
($10,000,000.00), or the amount shown on the Bank's records to be outstanding,
plus interest (calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed in a 360-day year)
accruing on the unpaid balance at the annual interest rates defined below.
Absent manifest error the Bank's records will be conclusive evidence of the
principal and accrued interest owing hereunder.
This Revolving Note is issued pursuant to a Credit Agreement dated April 20,
1994, as amended by a First Amendment dated February 13, 1996, and by a Second
Amendment of even date herewith (as amended, the "Agreement"), made between the
Bank and the Borrower. The Agreement contains additional terms and conditions
including default and acceleration provisions. The terms of the Agreement are
incorporated into this Revolving Note by reference. Capitalized terms not
expressly defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Agreement.
INTEREST RATES.
BASE RATE OPTION. Unless the Borrower chooses the LIBOR Rate Option as defined
below, the principal balance outstanding under this Revolving Note will bear
interest at an annual rate equal to the Base Rate, floating (the "Base Rate
Option"). The Base Rate is the "base" or "prime" rate of interest established by
the Bank from time to time.
LIBOR RATE OPTION. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement
(including without limitation Section 3.2), the Borrower may elect that all or
portions of the principal balance of this Revolving Note bear interest at the
LIBOR Rate plus 2.0% (the "LIBOR Rate Option"). Specific reference is made to
the "Disbursements And Payments" Section of the Agreement for terms governing
the designation of interest periods and rate portions.
The LIBOR Rate will be computed in accordance with the following formula.
LIBOR Rate = London Interbank Rate
1.00 - Reserve Percentage
Where,
(i) "London Interbank Rate" means the average rate at which U.S. Dollar
deposits with a term equal to the applicable LIBOR Interest Period and
in an amount equal to the LIBOR Rate Portion are offered to the Bank on
the London Interbank Market.
(ii) "Reserve Percentage" means the Federal Reserve System requirement
(expressed as a percentage) applicable to the dollar deposits used in
calculating the LIBOR Rate above.
REPAYMENT TERMS
INTEREST. Interest will be payable on the last day of each month, beginning May
31, 1996, and at maturity.
PRINCIPAL. Principal will be repayable on September 30, 1997.
PREPAYMENT. The Borrower may prepay all or any portion of principal accruing
interest under the Base Rate Option without premium or penalty. Each prepayment
of principal accruing interest under the LIBOR Rate Option, whether voluntary or
by reason of acceleration, will be accompanied by accrued interest on the
prepaid portion and a prepayment premium equal to the amount, if any, by which:
(i) the additional interest that would have been payable on the amount
prepaid if it had not been paid until the last day of the relevant
LIBOR Interest Period, exceeds
(ii) the interest that would have been recoverable by the Bank by
reinvesting the amount prepaid from the prepayment date to the last day
of the relevant LIBOR Interest Period in a like kind investment.
ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS. The Borrower agrees to pay all costs of
collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses, incurred by
the Bank in the event this Revolving Note is not duly paid. Demand, presentment,
protest and notice of nonpayment and dishonor of this Revolving Note are
expressly waived. This Revolving Note will be governed by the substantive laws
of the State of Minnesota.
