PART I

ITEM 1 - BUSINESS

The Company's two business segments are Lighting and Graphics. Sales by
continuing operations by segment are as follows (in thousands):
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1996 1995 1994
---- ---- ----
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Lighting $ 93,208 $ 72,782 $56,159
Graphics 59,525 47,145 37,376
-------- -------- -------
Total $152,733 $119,927 $93,535
======== ======== =======
</TABLE>

The Lighting segment manufactures and sells outdoor, indoor, and
landscape lighting fixtures to the retail petroleum, commercial and industrial
markets. Additionally, this segment produces and markets menu boards to the
restaurant and other markets. The Lighting segment includes the operations of
LSI Lighting Systems Commercial and Petroleum Lighting divisions, Abolite
Lighting division, Greenlee Lighting, the LSI Metal Fabrication division, and
the LSI IMAGES division.

The Graphics segment manufactures and sells screen printed materials
and architectural graphic structures to the retail petroleum and other markets.
The Graphics segment includes the operations of SGI Integrated Graphics Systems
and the Insight Graphic Systems division.

See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on
page S-13 of this Form 10-K for additional information on business segments.

The Company believes that it is a low-cost producer for its types of
products, and as such, is in a position to promote its product lines with
substantial marketing and sales activities.

The Company is not dependent on any one supplier for any of its
component parts.

The Company's sales are partially seasonal as installation of outdoor
lighting and graphic systems in the northern states lessens during the harshest
winter months. One customer, Chevron U.S.A. Inc. accounted for 12% of
consolidated net sales in 1996, 14% in 1995, and 13% in 1994. The Company had a
backlog of orders, believed by it to be firm, of $9.6 million and $13.8 million
at June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. All orders are scheduled to ship within
twelve months.

The Company has approximately 900 full-time and 200 temporary
employees. The Company has a comprehensive compensation and benefit program for
employees, including competitive wages, a discretionary bonus plan, a
profit-sharing plan and retirement plan, a 401(k) savings plan, a non-qualified
deferred compensation plan (for certain employees), a stock option plan, and
medical and dental insurance.

The Company sells its products throughout the United States and Canada.

LSI Industries encounters strong competition in all markets served by
the Company's product lines. The Company has many competitors, some of which
have greater financial and other resources. The Company considers product
quality and performance, price, customer service, prompt delivery, and
reputation to be important competitive factors.

The Company has several product and process patents which it has
obtained in the normal course of business. The Company does not believe that
patent protection is critical to its business.

ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES

The Company has five facilities:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

1996 COMPARED TO 1995

Net sales of $152,733,000 for 1996 increased 27% over 1995 net sales of
$119,927,000 with Lighting segment sales increasing 28% and Graphics segment
sales increasing 26%. The Company experienced sales growth in both the
multi-site retail market and the commercial / industrial lighting market, and
had significant growth in its largest market, the petroleum / convenience store
market. One customer, Chevron U.S.A., accounted for 12% of net sales in 1996 and
14% of net sales in 1995. The Company believes that it continues to maintain a
good business relationship with this major customer; however, the level of total
sales is never assured in the future. The increase in net sales in 1996 was
primarily the result of increased volume. While sales prices were increased,
inflation did not have a significant impact on sales in 1996 as competitive
pricing pressures held price increases to a minimum.

Gross profit of $48,512,000, or 31.8% of net sales, increased over last
year's gross profit of $39,771,000 or 33.2% of net sales. The increase in amount
of gross profit is attributed primarily to the 27% increase in net sales. A
sales mix shift in the Company's Graphics segment to somewhat lower gross margin
programs (including an increased level of prototype image programs), lower
utilization of manufacturing capacity in the Graphics segment, and an increase
in lighting sales to the petroleum / convenience store market provided
influences that reduced the gross profit percentage. Selling and administrative
expenses increased to $35,101,000 from $29,509,000 primarily as a result of
increased sales volume, and were reduced to 23% of net sales in 1996 as compared
to 25% last year.

Interest expense decreased in 1996 from $459,000 to $344,000, primarily
as a result of the paydown of substantially all of the Company's outstanding
debt in February 1996 with a portion of the net proceeds from the Company's
public offering of common shares (see also LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES).
Other expense consists primarily of loss on disposition of fixed assets, of
which there was a greater amount in 1995. The Company's effective tax rate
increased to 36.4% from 36.0% last year as a result of the increased provision
for state income taxes.

Income from continuing operations of $8,270,000 or $.98 per share
increased 34% over 1995 levels of $6,174,000 or $.79 per share as a result of
increased net sales and gross profit, partially offset by increased selling and
administrative expenses and an increased provision for income taxes. The
weighted average common shares outstanding increased 8.4% in 1996 to 8,456,000
shares from 7,802,000 shares in 1995 primarily as a result of the effect of the
1.2 million common shares issued in the Company's public offering in February
1996.

S-1
10


The Company recorded a $1.5 million or $.18 per share charge to
Discontinued Operations in 1996 to increase the reserve for remaining
liabilities associated with its discontinued European operations. As discussed
in Note 9 to the financial statements, the Company had been involved in a
dispute with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in which the IRS proposed audit
adjustments to the Company's 1989 through 1992 federal income tax returns which
could have resulted in a payment of income taxes by the Company of approximately
$2.0 million, plus interest, which had been refunded to the Company with the
filing of its 1992 income tax return. The IRS questioned the tax treatment of
the loss associated with the discontinued operations, specifically as to whether
it should receive ordinary loss or capital loss treatment. The settlement
discussions with the IRS Appeals Division relating to the proposed audit
assessment were concluded in December 1995. An agreement was reached that
re-characterized a portion of the 1992 loss associated with discontinued
European operations as a long term capital loss. The agreement resulted in
payment of $1.7 million (composed of taxes and interest), and in the $1.5
million charge to discontinued operations.

Net income of $6.8 million or $.80 per share compares to last year's
net income of $6.2 million or $.79 per share. The change resulted from increased
income from continuing operations, partially reduced by the charge to
discontinued operations.

Certain recently issued accounting pronouncements will affect the
Company's future financial statements and/or disclosures. See Note 1 to these
financial statements for additional discussion.

1995 COMPARED TO 1994

Net sales of $119,927,000 increased 28% over 1994 sales of $93,535,000. Lighting
segment sales increased 30% with sales increases in all major markets served:
the petroleum / convenience store market, the multi-site retail market, and the
commercial / industrial lighting market. Graphics segment sales increased 26%,
primarily as a result of strong sales into the petroleum / convenience store
market. One customer, Chevron U.S.A., accounted for 14% of net sales in 1995 and
13% of net sales in 1994. The Company believes that it continues to maintain a
good business relationship with this major customer; however, the level of total
sales is never assured in the future. The increase in sales in 1995 was
primarily the result of increased volume. While sales prices were increased,
inflation did not have a significant impact on sales in 1995 as competitive
pricing pressures held price increases to a minimum.

Gross profit of $39,771,000, or 33.2% of net sales, increased over last year's
gross profit of $31,105,000 or 33.3% of net sales. The increase in amount of
gross profit is attributed primarily to the 28% increase in sales. Increased
sales volume caused some manufacturing inefficiencies, increased employment
levels and related training, and overtime and additional shifts in the first
half of the year. The Company experienced cost increases in several raw
materials and components from suppliers in the first half for which sales price
increases were implemented in the second half of the year. Selling and
administrative expenses of $29,509,000 increased from $23,965,000, but decreased
as a percentage of net sales to 25% from 26%, primarily as a result of increased
sales volume.

Interest expense increased in 1995 from $199,000 to $459,000 as a result of
increased average borrowings on the Company's revolving lines of credit and
long-term debt facilities in addition to increased effective borrowing rates.
Other expense consists primarily of losses on disposition of assets of $122,000
and $250,000 in 1995 and 1994, respectively. Income tax expense of

S-2
11


$3,469,000 or 36% of income before taxes compares to tax expense of $2,461,000
or 37% last year. The increase in income tax expense is related primarily to the
increased taxable income.

Net income of $6,174,000 or $.79 per share increased from last year's net income
of $4,190,000 or $.55 per share as a result of increased sales and gross profit,
partially offset by increased selling and administrative expenses and an
increased provision for taxes. See additional comments regarding earnings per
share in LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1996 the Company had working capital of $36,146,000,
compared to $17,788,000 at June 30, 1995. The ratio of current assets to current
liabilities increased to 2.66 to 1 from 1.74 to 1. The increased working capital
is primarily attributed to increases in cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, inventories, and other current assets, and to reductions in accrued
expenses and current maturities of long-term debt.

The Company generated $19,581,000 in net proceeds from a public
offering of 1.2 million common shares in February 1996. The Company used a
portion of the net proceeds to repay all outstanding indebtedness under its
revolving lines of credit and its term loan facility with its banks. The
significant increase in cash and cash equivalents is directly related to this
public offering.

The Company generated $406,000 of cash from operating activities in
1996 as compared to $1,818,000 in 1995. The Company used more cash in fiscal
1996 primarily because of the payment of approximately $1.7 million associated
with the settlement of the IRS audit related to the discontinued European
operations. In 1996, the increased level of business resulted in increases in
accounts receivable and inventories. As of June 30, 1996, the Company's days
sales outstanding were approximately 59 days as compared to 62 days at year end
last year.

In addition to cash and cash equivalents (high grade, short-term
investments), the Company's primary source of liquidity continues to be its
lines of credit. The Company has two revolving lines of credit totaling $13
million, all of which is available as of August 21, 1996. The Company believes
that the total of available lines of credit plus cash flows from operating
activities is adequate for the Company's 1997 operational and capital
expenditure needs. The Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants.
Capital expenditures of $3.4 million in 1996 compare to $5.1 million in 1995.
Spending in fiscal year 1996 is primarily related to manufacturing equipment and
process improvements. Capital expenditures of $4 million are planned for 1997.

In August 1996, the Board of Directors declared regular quarterly and
special year-end cash dividends of $.04 per share each to be paid September 17,
1996 to shareholders of record on September 10, 1996. During fiscal 1996, the
Company paid cash dividends each quarter.

The Company continues to seek opportunities to invest in new products
and markets, and in acquisitions which fit its strategic growth plans in the
lighting and graphics markets. The Company believes that adequate financing for
any such investments or acquisitions will be available through future borrowings
due to the enhanced financial condition of the Company after the public offering
or through the issuance of common or preferred shares in payment for acquired
businesses.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
------------------------------------------

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CONSOLIDATION:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LSI Industries
Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

RECLASSIFICATION:

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts in order to be
consistent with the presentation for the current year.

USE OF ESTIMATES:

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

REVENUE RECOGNITION:

Revenue is recognized when the customer accepts title and the resultant risks
and rewards of ownership. Generally this occurs upon shipment of goods or
shortly thereafter. Amounts received from customers prior to the recognition of
revenue are accounted for as customer pre-payments under accrued expenses.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:

The cash balance includes cash and cash equivalents which have original
maturities of less than three months.

INVENTORIES:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the
first-in, first-out basis.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT AND RELATED DEPRECIATION:

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Major additions and
betterments are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are expensed. For
financial reporting purposes, depreciation is computed on the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Buildings 31 - 39 years
Machinery and equipment 3 - 10 years

S-11
20


GOODWILL:

The excess of cost over fair value of assets acquired ("goodwill") is amortized
over a forty year period. As of June 30, 1996 and 1995, accumulated amortization
of goodwill was $287,000 and $248,000, respectively. The Company periodically
evaluates goodwill and other long-lived assets for permanent impairment based
upon anticipated cash flows. To date no impairments have been recorded, nor are
any anticipated.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

The Company has financial instruments consisting primarily of cash and cash
equivalents, 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 variable, market-driven interest rates. The Company has
no financial instruments with off balance sheet risk.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:

The Company has a defined contribution retirement plan and a discretionary
profit sharing plan covering substantially all of its employees, and a
non-qualified deferred compensation plan covering certain employees. The costs
of employee benefit plans are charged to expense and funded annually. Total
costs relating to continuing operations were $1,378,000 in 1996, $1,004,000 in
1995, and $942,000 in 1994.

INCOME TAXES:

Deferred income taxes are provided on items reported in income in different
periods for financial reporting and tax purposes.

NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE:

The computation of net income per common share is based on the weighted average
common shares outstanding for the period, including Common Share equivalents
(dilutive stock options). Dilutive stock options amounted to 360,000 shares in
1996, 287,000 shares in 1995, and 236,000 shares in 1994. See also Note 6.

RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS:

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," which requires
impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when
indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated
to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. This
statement also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets that are expected
to be disposed of in the future. The Company will adopt this standard in fiscal
year 1997 and, based on current circumstances, does not believe the effect of
adoption will be material.

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." The Company

S-12
21


intends to adopt this standard in fiscal year 1997 by making the required
footnote disclosures only. Therefore, the adoption of this standard is not
expected to have an effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.

NOTE 2 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In 1992 the Company sold the assets and operations of its U.K. subsidiary,
Duramark, to its management and reported a loss from Discontinued Operations.
Consideration received included cash, assumption of liabilities by management,
and rights to a percentage of future profits of the operation earned on or
before May 31, 1996 (to which no value was assigned). The maximum amount
receivable is not material, is subject to a time limit, and realizability is
believed not to be certain.

The remaining liabilities which were not assumed by the management buy-out group
of the discontinued operations, net of related taxes, have been classified in
the consolidated balance sheets as follows:

NOTE 5 - REVOLVING LINES OF CREDIT AND LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company has lines of credit with its banks in the aggregate amount of
$13,000,000, all of which was available at June 30, 1996. These revolving lines
of credit are unsecured and expire in fiscal year 1997. Interest on the
revolving lines of credit is charged based upon a 1.0 percentage point increment
over the LIBOR rate as periodically determined, or at the banks' base lending
rate less 1.25 percentage points, at the Company's option. Under terms of these
agreements, the Company has agreed to maintain minimum levels of profitability
and net worth, and is subject to certain maximum levels of leverage.

The Company has an Industrial Revenue Development Bond (IRB) borrowing in the
amount of $1,195,000 associated with its facility in Northern Kentucky. The term
of this IRB is 15 years with semi-annual interest payments and annual principal
payments for retirement of bond principal in increasing amounts over the term of
the bonds. The IRB interest rate, which is reestablished semi-annually, is
currently 4.5%, plus a .9% letter of credit fee. The IRB is secured by the
Company's Kentucky real estate, which has a net carrying value of $1.4 million.

The Company has equipment loans outstanding totaling $367,000 with two
governmental agencies in Kentucky. The loans are for terms of five years at a
weighted average interest rate of 2.2% and are secured by the Company's Kentucky
equipment which has a net carrying value of $1.4 million. The Company makes
quarterly principal and interest payments of $32,000 through June 1999 and has
committed to specified job growth in its Kentucky facility.

The Company discontinued its European operations in 1992 and reported a $4.3
million loss, net of a $3.2 million income tax benefit. The Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) completed its audit of the Company's 1989 through 1992 federal
income tax returns and proposed audit adjustments which would have resulted in a
return of approximately $2 million of income taxes (plus interest) to the IRS
which had been refunded to the Company with the filing of its 1992 income tax
return. The IRS questioned the tax treatment of the loss associated with the
discontinued operations, specifically as to whether it should receive ordinary
loss or capital loss treatment.

S-17
26


The Company's settlement discussions with the IRS Appeals Division relating to
the proposed audit assessment were concluded in December 1995. An agreement was
reached that re-characterized a portion of the 1992 loss associated with
discontinued European operations as a long term capital loss. The agreement
resulted in payment of $1.7 million (composed of taxes and interest), and in a
charge to discontinued operations of $1.5 million to increase the Company's
reserve for remaining liabilities associated with the discontinued operations.
