RICHARDSON ELECTRONICS, LTD.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY
Richardson Electronics, Ltd. (“we”, “us”, “the Company”, and “our”) is incorporated in the state of Delaware. We are a leading global provider of engineered solutions, power grid and microwave tubes and related components, and customized display solutions, serving customers in the alternative energy, aviation, broadcast, communications, industrial, marine, medical, military, scientific, and semiconductor markets. Our strategy is to provide specialized technical expertise and “engineered solutions” based on our core engineering and manufacturing capabilities. We provide solutions and add value through design-in support, systems integration, prototype design and manufacturing, testing, logistics, and aftermarket technical service and repair.
Our products include electron tubes and related components, microwave generators, subsystems used in semiconductor manufacturing, and visual technology solutions. These products are used to control, switch or amplify electrical power signals, or are used as display devices in a variety of industrial, commercial, medical, and communication applications.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, we created a new strategic business unit called Richardson Healthcare (“Healthcare”). As hospitals remain under pressure to reduce costs while serving a much larger customer base, there is a growing demand for independent sources of high value replacement parts for diagnostic imaging. Having access to parts that are tested and in stock enables hospitals to terminate expensive service contracts with the Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEM") and instead use third party service providers or in house technicians. With our global infrastructure, technical sales team, and experience servicing the healthcare market, we are well positioned to take advantage of this market opportunity. Over time we will expand our position from being the leader in power grid tubes to a key player in the high growth, high profile healthcare industry.
We have three operating segments, which we define as follows:
Electron Device Group
(“EDG”) provides engineered solutions and distributes electronic components to customers in alternative energy, aviation, broadcast, communications, industrial, marine, medical, military, scientific, and semiconductor markets. EDG focuses on various applications including broadcast transmission, CO2 laser cutting, diagnostic imaging, dielectric and induction heating, high energy transfer, high voltage switching, plasma, power conversion, radar, and radiation oncology. EDG also offers its customers technical services for both microwave and industrial equipment.
Canvys
provides customized display solutions serving the corporate enterprise, financial, industrial, and OEM markets.
Healthcare
manufactures, distributes and services high value replacement parts for the healthcare market including hospitals, medical centers, independent service organizations, and multi-vendor service providers. Products include power grid tubes, hydrogen thyratrons, klystrons, magnetrons; Image Systems medical displays and workstations for picture archiving and communication systems ("PACS"); visual solutions for operating rooms/surgical environments; digital radiography solutions including replacement flat panel detectors and upgrades; and additional replacement components currently under development for the diagnostic imaging service market. Through a combination of newly developed products and partnerships, service offerings, and training programs we help our customers improve efficiency and deliver better clinical outcomes while lowering the cost of healthcare delivery.
We currently have operations in the following major geographic regions: North America, Asia/Pacific, Europe, and Latin America.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
6
Table of Contents
Our fiscal quarter ends on the Saturday nearest the end of the quarter-ending month. The first three months of fiscal
2015
and
2014
contained 13 weeks, respectively.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of interim periods have been made. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results of our operations for the
three months ended
August 30, 2014
, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending
May 30, 2015
.
Due to the change in our healthcare business model, the financial results for our healthcare business that were part of our Canvys segment will now be part of our Healthcare segment. All prior period segment financial results have been revised to reflect this change.
The financial information contained in this report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
May 31, 2014
, that we filed on
July 25, 2014
.
3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Inventories:
Our consolidated inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, generally using a weighted-average cost method. Our inventories include approximately
$32.5 million
of finished goods and
$3.1 million
of raw materials and work-in-progress as of
August 30, 2014
, as compared to approximately
$30.9 million
of finished goods and
$3.0 million
of raw materials and work-in-progress as of
May 31, 2014
.
At this time, we do not anticipate any material risks or uncertainties related to possible future inventory write-downs.
Revenue Recognition:
Our product sales are recognized as revenue upon shipment, when title passes to the customer, when delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, and when collectability is reasonably assured. We also record estimated discounts and returns based on our historical experience.
Loss Contingencies:
We accrue a liability for loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of possible loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. If we determine that there is at least a reasonable possibility that a significant loss may have been incurred, we will include a disclosure describing the contingency.
Other Intangible Assets:
Intangible assets are initially recorded at their fair market values determined on quoted market prices in active markets, if available, or recognized valuation models. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.
4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During fiscal year 2011, we completed the sale of the assets primarily used or held for use in, and certain liabilities of, our RF, Wireless and Power Division ("RFPD"), as well as certain other Company assets, including our information technology assets, to Arrow Electronics, Inc. ("Arrow") in exchange for
$238.8 million
("the Transaction"). In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements- Discontinued Operations (“ASC 205-20”), we reported the financial results of RFPD as a discontinued operation.

In accordance with ASC 230,
Statement of Cash Flows,
entities are permitted but not required to separately disclose, either in the statement of cash flows or footnotes to the financial statements, cash flows pertaining to discontinued operations. Entities that do not present separate operating cash flow information related to discontinued operations must do so consistently for all periods presented, which may include periods long after the sale or liquidation of the operation. We did not have cash balances that were specific to RFPD and elected not to present separate cash flows from discontinued operations on our statement of cash flows.
5. ACQUISITIONS
On July 5, 2013, we acquired the assets of WVS for approximately
$1.0 million
. WVS, located in Meerbusch, Germany, develops and sells RF and microwave products, power grid tubes, vacuum capacitors, as well as industrial microwave equipment. This acquisition provides us with engineering and sales expertise to help expand our presence in the vacuum capacitor market.
The allocation of the final purchase price recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2014, included
$0.7 million
of inventory and
$0.3 million
of fixed assets. Pro forma financial information is not presented due to immateriality.

6. OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets are initially recorded at their fair market values determined on quoted market prices in active markets, if available, or recognized valuation models. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.
Our intangible assets represent the fair value for trade name, customer relationships, and non-compete agreements acquired in connection with our acquisitions.
Intangible assets subject to amortization as well as amortization expense are as follows

7. INVESTMENTS
As of
August 30, 2014
, we had approximately
$34.6 million
invested in time deposits and certificates of deposit (“CD”). Of this,
$26.4 million
mature in less than twelve months and
$8.2 million
mature in more than twelve months. The fair value of these investments is equal to the face value of each time deposit and CD.
As of

, we had approximately
$32.7 million
invested in time deposits and CD’s. Of this,
$31.7 million
mature in less than twelve months and
$1.0 million
mature in more than twelve months. The fair value of these investments is equal to the face value of each time deposit and CD.

Table of Contents
We also have investments in equity securities, all of which are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at their fair value based on quoted market prices. Our investments, which are included in non-current assets, had a carrying amount of
$0.5 million
as of
August 30, 2014
, and as of
May 31, 2014
. Proceeds from the sale of securities were
less than $0.1 million
million during the
first
quarter of fiscal
2015
and $0.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal
2014
. We reinvested proceeds from the sale of securities, and the cost of the equity securities sold was based on a specific identification method. Gross realized gains and losses on those sales were
less than $0.1 million
during the
first
quarter of fiscal
2015
and fiscal
2014
. Net unrealized holding gains of
less than $0.1 million
during the
first
quarter of fiscal
2015
and fiscal
2014
, have been included in accumulated other comprehensive income.
8. WARRANTIES
We offer warranties for the limited number of specific products we manufacture. We also provide extended warranties for some products we sell that lengthen the period of coverage specified in the manufacturer’s original warranty. Our warranty terms generally range from
one
to
five
years.
Warranty reserves are established for costs that are expected to be incurred after the sale and delivery of products under warranty. Warranty reserves are included in accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. The warranty reserves are determined based on known product failures, historical experience, and other available evidence. Warranty reserves were approximately
$0.2 million
as of
August 30, 2014
, and
May 31, 2014
.
9. LEASE OBLIGATIONS, OTHER COMMITMENTS, AND CONTINGENCIES
We lease certain warehouse and office facilities and office equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. Rent expense from continuing operations during the
first
three months of fiscal
2015
was
$0.4 million
and
$0.4 million
during the
first
three months of fiscal
2014
. Under the terms of the Transaction, Arrow assumed many of our facility leases and we are sub-leasing space from Arrow. Our future lease commitments for minimum rentals, including common area maintenance charges and property taxes during the next five years are as follows

10. INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate from continuing operations during the
first
three months of fiscal
2015
was a tax benefit of
61.9%
, as compared to a tax provision of
18.5%
during the
first
three months of fiscal
2014
. The difference in rate during the
first
three months of fiscal
2015
, as compared to fiscal
2014
, reflects the impact of tax benefit on the three month loss for fiscal 2015, as well as the relative amount of foreign earnings considered to be permanently reinvested with respect to ASC 740-30,
Income Taxes – Other Considerations or Special Areas
, the deferred tax impact of the change in the statutory tax rate in Japan, and the recording of a tax benefit related to compensation expense. The
61.9%
effective rate differs from the federal statutory rate of
34.0%
as a result of our geographical distribution of income, apportionment of income to various states, the deferred tax impact of the change in the statutory tax rate in Japan, the recording of a tax benefit related to compensation expense, and our position with respect to ASC 740-30,
Income Taxes – Other Considerations or Special Areas
.

Table of Contents
In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. Generally, years prior to fiscal 2007 are closed for examination under the statute of limitation for U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, or non-U.S. tax jurisdictions. We are also currently under examination in Germany (fiscal 2009 through 2011), Italy (fiscal 2011), and Thailand (fiscal 2008 through 2011).
Our most significant foreign tax jurisdictions are Germany and the Netherlands. We have tax years open in Germany beginning in fiscal 2007 and the Netherlands beginning in fiscal 2008.
We have historically determined that certain undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, to the extent of cash available, will be repatriated to the U.S. Accordingly, we have provided a deferred tax liability totaling
$6.8 million
as of August 30, 2014, on foreign earnings of
$41.6 million
. In addition, as of
August 30, 2014
, approximately
$43.1 million
of cumulative positive earnings of some of our foreign subsidiaries are considered permanently reinvested pursuant to ASC 740-30,
Income Taxes-Other Considerations or Special Areas
. Due to various tax attributes that are continuously changing, it is not practicable to determine what, if any, tax liability might exist if such earnings were to be repatriated.
As of
August 30, 2014
, our consolidated liability for uncertain tax positions, excluding interest and penalties, was less than
$0.1 million
as compared to
no
liabilities for uncertain tax positions as of
August 31, 2013
. We have recorded immaterial penalties and interest relating to uncertain tax positions in the income tax expense line item within the unaudited consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
It is not expected that there will be a change in the unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
11. CALCULATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE
We have authorized
30,000,000
shares of common stock,
10,000,000
shares of Class B common stock, and
5,000,000
shares of preferred stock. The Class B common stock has
10
votes per share and has transferability restrictions; however, Class B common stock may be converted into common stock on a share-for-share basis at any time. With respect to dividends and distributions, shares of common stock and Class B common stock rank equally and have the same rights, except that Class B common stock cash dividends are limited to
90%
of the amount of Class A common stock cash dividends.
In accordance with ASC 260-10,
Earnings Per Share
(“ASC 260”), our Class B common stock is considered a participating security requiring the use of the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. The two-class computation method for each period reflects the cash dividends paid per share for each class of stock, plus the amount of allocated undistributed earnings per share computed using the participation percentage which reflects the dividend rights of each class of stock. Basic and diluted earnings per share were computed using the two-class method as prescribed in ASC 260. The shares of Class B common stock are considered to be participating convertible securities since the shares of Class B common stock are convertible on a share-for-share basis into shares of common stock and may participate in dividends with common stock according to a predetermined formula which is 90% of the amount of Class A common stock cash dividends.

12. SEGMENT REPORTING
During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, we created a new strategic business unit called Healthcare. As hospitals remain under pressure to reduce costs while serving a much larger customer base, there is a growing demand for independent sources of high value replacement parts for diagnostic imaging. Having access to parts that are tested and in stock enables hospitals to terminate expensive service contracts with the OEM and instead use third party service providers or in house technicians. With our global infrastructure, technical sales team, and experience servicing the healthcare market, we are well positioned to take advantage of this market opportunity. Over time we will expand our position from being the leader in power grid tubes to a key player in the high growth, high profile healthcare industry.
In accordance with ASC 280-10,
Segment Reporting
, we have identified three reportable segments: EDG, Canvys, and Richardson Healthcare.
EDG
provides engineered solutions and distributes electronic components to customers in alternative energy, aviation, broadcast, communications, industrial, marine, medical, military, scientific, and semiconductor markets. EDG focuses on various applications including broadcast transmission, CO2 laser cutting, diagnostic imaging, dielectric and induction heating, high energy transfer, high voltage switching, plasma, power conversion, radar, and radiation oncology. EDG also offers its customers technical services for both microwave and industrial equipment.
Canvys
provides customized display solutions serving the corporate enterprise, financial, industrial, and OEM markets.
Healthcare
manufactures, distributes and services high value replacement parts for the healthcare market including hospitals, medical centers, independent service organizations and multi-vendor service providers. Products include power grid tubes, hydrogen thyratrons, klystrons, magnetrons; Image Systems medical displays and workstations for PACS; visual solutions for operating rooms/surgical environments; digital radiography solutions including replacement flat panel detectors and upgrades; and additional replacement components currently under development for the diagnostic imaging service market. Through a combination of newly developed products and partnerships, service offerings, and training programs, we help our customers improve efficiency and deliver better clinical outcomes while lowering the cost of healthcare delivery.
The CEO evaluates performance and allocates resources primarily based on the gross profit of each segment.
Operating results by segment are summarized in the following table (

We sell our products to customers in diversified industries and perform periodic credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition. Terms are generally on open account, payable net
30 days
in North America, and vary throughout Asia/Pacific, Europe, and Latin America. Estimates of credit losses are recorded in the financial statements based on monthly reviews of outstanding accounts. Other primarily includes net sales not allocated to a specific geographical region, unabsorbed value-add costs, and other unallocated expenses.
13. LITIGATION
We are involved in several pending judicial proceedings concerning matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of litigation is subject to uncertainties, based on information available at the time the financial statements were issued, we determined disclosure of contingencies relating to any of our pending judicial proceedings was not necessary because there is less than a reasonable possibility that a material loss will be incurred.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we received a settlement in the amount of
$2.1 million
related to an anti-trust class action lawsuit settlement. The settlement was recorded as proceeds from legal settlement within the Other Income section of our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures
(“ASC 820”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists; therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
14
Table of Contents
As of
August 30, 2014
, we held investments that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Our investments consist of time deposits and CDs, where face value is equal to fair value, and equity securities of publicly traded companies for which market prices are readily available.
Investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 as of
August 30, 2014
, and

Gross profit reflects the distribution and manufacturing product margin less manufacturing variances, inventory obsolescence charges, customer returns, scrap and cycle count adjustments, engineering costs, unabsorbed manufacturing labor and overhead, and other provisions.
Consolidated gross profit was $
10.7
million during the
first
quarter of fiscal
2015
, compared to $
10.2
million during the
first
quarter of fiscal
2014
. Consolidated gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased to
30.7%
during the
first
quarter of fiscal
2015
, from
29.8%
during the
first
quarter of fiscal
2014
. The increase was primarily due to the reduction in unabsorbed labor and overhead costs in our LaFox manufacturing facility during the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
Electron Device Group
EDG net sales increased
7.7%
to $
27.4
million during the
first
quarter of fiscal
2015
, from $25.5 million during the
first
quarter of fiscal
2014
. Net sales of specialty products manufactured in LaFox and sold primarily into the semiconductor capital equipment market increased and net sales of tubes and related consumables in the laser market also increased. These increases were partially offset by decreases in net sales for the industrial heating and aviation markets. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased to 31.7% during the
first
quarter of fiscal
2015
, as compared to 30.8% during the
first
quarter of fiscal
2014
primarily due to reduction in unabsorbed labor and overhead costs in our LaFox manufacturing facility.
Canvys
Canvys net sales decreased
19.8%
to $
6.0
million during the first quarter of fiscal 2015, from $7.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Sales in our North America and Europe OEM markets decreased due to delays in new program startups and loss of a key customer in the prior year. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased to
27.7%
during the first quarter of fiscal 2015 as compared to
25.6%
during the first quarter of fiscal 2014, due to purchasing efficiencies and better pricing controls.

Healthcare
Healthcare net sales were
$1.3 million
during the first quarter of fiscal 2015, a decrease of
2.9%
from the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Sales decreased in the PACS display market driven by budget constraints and a difficult capital market for hospitals. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased to
24.4%
during the first quarter of fiscal 2015 as compared to
32.3%
during the first quarter of fiscal 2015, due to competitive pricing pressure and shifts in product mix.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased to $11.2 during the first quarter of fiscal 2015 from $10.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. This increase includes $0.5 million related to the company's growth initiatives and $0.5 million related to our new ERP implementation.
Other Income/Expense
Other income/expense was income of $0.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2015, compared to income of $2.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Other income/expense during the first quarter of fiscal 2015 included $0.3 million of investment and interest income. Other income/expense during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 included an anti-trust class action lawsuit settlement of $2.1 million and investment income of $0.3 million, partially offset by foreign exchange loss of $0.1 million. Our foreign exchange gains and losses are primarily due to the translation of U.S. dollars held in non-U.S. entities. We currently do not utilize derivative instruments to manage our exposure to foreign currency.
Income Tax Provision
The effective income tax rate from continuing operations during the
first
three months of fiscal
2015
was a tax benefit of
61.9%
, as compared to a tax provision of
18.5%
during the
first
three months of fiscal
2014
. The difference in rate during the
first
three months of fiscal
2015
, as compared to fiscal
2014
, reflects the impact of tax benefit on the three month loss for fiscal 2015, as well as relative amount of foreign earnings considered to be permanently reinvested with respect to ASC 740-30,
Income Taxes – Other Considerations or Special Areas
, the deferred tax impact of the change in the statutory tax rate in Japan, and the recording of a prior period tax benefit related to compensation expense
.
The 61.9% effective rate differs from the federal statutory rate of
34.0%
as a result of our geographical distribution of income, apportionment of income to various states, the deferred tax impact of the change in the statutory tax rate in Japan, the recording of a tax benefit related to compensation expense, and our position with respect to ASC 740-30,
Income Taxes – Other Considerations or Special Areas
.
In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. Generally, years prior to fiscal 2007 are closed for examination under the statute of limitation for U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, or non-U.S. tax jurisdictions. We are also currently under examination in Germany (fiscal 2009 through 2011), Italy (fiscal 2011), and Thailand (fiscal 2008 through 2011).
Our most significant foreign tax jurisdictions are Germany and the Netherlands. We have tax years open in Germany beginning in fiscal 2007 and the Netherlands beginning in fiscal 2008.
We have historically determined that certain undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, to the extent of cash available, will be repatriated to the U.S. Accordingly, we have provided a deferred tax liability totaling $6.8 million as of August 30, 2014, on foreign earnings of $41.6 million. In addtion, as of
August 30, 2014
, approximately
$43.1 million
of cumulative positive earnings of some of our foreign subsidiaries are considered permanently reinvested pursuant to ASC 740-30,
Income Taxes-Other Considerations or Special Areas
. Due to various tax attributes that are continuously changing, it is not practicable to determine what, if any, tax liability might exist if such earnings were to be repatriated.
As of
August 30, 2014
, our consolidated liability for uncertain tax positions, excluding interest and penalties, was less than $0.1 million as compared to
no
liabilities for uncertain tax positions as of
August 31, 2013
. We have recorded immaterial penalties and interest relating to uncertain tax positions in the income tax expense line item within the unaudited consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
It is not expected that there will be a change in the unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL POSITION, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our growth and cash needs have been primarily financed through income from operations. Cash and cash equivalents for the first quarter ended
August 30, 2014
, were $98.1 million. In addition, CDs and time deposits classified as short-term investments were $26.4 million and long-term investments were $8.8 million, including equity securities of $0.5 million. Cash and investments at

Cash Flows from Discontinued Operations
In accordance with ASC 230,
Statement of Cash Flows,
entities are permitted but not required to separately disclose, either in the statement of cash flows or footnotes to the financial statements, cash flows pertaining to discontinued operations. Entities that do not present separate operating cash flow information related to discontinued operations must do so consistently for all periods presented, which may include periods long after the sale or liquidation of the operation.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The cash flow from operating activities primarily resulted from our net income, adjusted for non-cash items, and changes in our operating assets and liabilities.
Operating activities used $0.3 million of cash during the first quarter of fiscal 2015. We had net loss of $0.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2015, which included non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.1 million associated with the issuance of stock option awards and depreciation and amortization expense of $0.4 million associated with our property and equipment as well as amortization of our intangible assets. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities, net of effects of acquired businesses, used $0.6 million of cash during the first quarter of fiscal 2015, due primarily to the increase in our inventory of $2.1 million, the increase in our accounts receivable of $0.4 million, the decrease in accrued liabilities of $0.7 million, partially offset by a decrease to our income tax receivable of $2.3 million. The increase in our inventory of $2.1 million primarily relates to inventory purchases for new product offerings. The decrease in our income tax receivable of $2.3 million was due to the receipt of an income tax refund.
Operating activities, which include our discontinued operations, used $1.2 million of cash during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. We had net income of $2.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2014, which included non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.1 million associated with the issuance of stock option awards and depreciation and amortization expense of $0.2 million associated with our property and equipment as well as amortization of our intangible assets. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities, net of effects of acquired businesses, used $3.5 million of cash during the first quarter of fiscal 2014, due primarily to the increase in our inventory of $0.5 million, the decrease in our accounts payable of $2.5 million, the increase in our accounts receivable of $1.2 million, partially offset by a decrease to our prepaid expenses of $0.2 million. The increase in our inventory was due to a increase in purchases related to specific projects within our Canvys business. The decrease in our accounts payable relates primarily to the timing of payment to some of our major vendors. The increase in our receivables of $1.2 million was due primarily to a slight increase in our day sales outstanding caused primarily by a shift in customer mix by geography. The decrease in prepaid expenses of $0.2 million was due primarily to a decrease in VAT prepayments.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities
The cash flow from investing activities has consisted primarily of purchases and maturities of investments and capital expenditures.
Cash used in investing activities of $2.7 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2015, included proceeds from the maturities of investments of $30.5 million, offset by the purchase of investments of $32.4 million and $0.8 million in capital expenditures. Capital expenditures of $0.8 million relates primarily to our new ERP implementation.
Cash used in investing activities of $1.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2014, included proceeds from the maturities of investments of $40.5 million, offset by the purchase of investments of $40.1 million, $1.0 million for the acquisition of WVS, and $0.4 million in capital expenditures.
Our purchases and proceeds from investments consist of time deposits and CDs. Purchasing of future investments may vary from period to period due to interest and foreign currency exchange rates.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
The cash flow from financing activities primarily consists of repurchases of common stock and cash dividends paid.
Cash used in financing activities of $1.2 million during the first three months of fiscal 2015, resulted from $0.5 million of cash used to repurchase common stock under our share repurchase authorization and $0.8 million of cash used to pay dividends, offset by $0.2 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock.
Cash used in financing activities of $7.5 million during the first three months of fiscal 2014, resulted from $6.7 million of cash used to repurchase common stock under our share repurchase authorization and $0.9 million of cash used to pay dividends, offset by $0.1 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock.
Dividend payments for the first three months of fiscal 2015 were approximately $0.8 million. All future payments of dividends are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Dividend payments will depend on earnings, capital requirements, operating conditions, and such other factors that the Board may deem relevant.
We believe that the existing sources of liquidity, including current cash, will provide sufficient resources to meet known capital requirements and working capital needs for the fiscal year ending
May 30, 2015

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Risk Management and Market Sensitive Financial Instruments
We are exposed to many different market risks with the various industries we serve. The primary financial risk we are exposed to is foreign currency exchange, as certain operations, assets, and liabilities of ours are denominated in foreign currencies. We manage these risks through normal operating and financing activities.
The interpretation and analysis of these disclosures should not be considered in isolation since such variances in exchange rates would likely influence other economic factors. Such factors, which are not readily quantifiable, would likely also affect our operations. Additional disclosure regarding various market risks are set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
May 31, 2014
, filed on July 25, 2014.

Disclosure controls and procedures are intended to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
(b)
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
