                                  (UNAUDITED)



NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its majority owned subsidiaries after elimination of all significant
intercompany accounts and transactions.

Investments in 50% or less-owned affiliated companies are accounted for on the
equity method.

The balance sheet at February 29, 1996 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments "consisting of only normal accruals"
necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position as of
November 30, 1996 and the Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the nine months
ended November 30, 1996 and 1995.


NOTE B - ACQUISITIONS

In April 1996, the Company exercised its option to purchase substantially all
the assets and assume the liabilities of Teltron Technologies, Inc. ("TTI") for
a purchase price of $962,497 consisting of cash of $62,497 and a demand note
payable of $900,000 with interest payable monthly at prime plus one percent.

June 1, 1996, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of Z-Axis, Inc.  The
Company issued $2,000,000 in face value of 8% five year convertible subordinated
debentures in payment of the acquisition.  The debentures have a 5-year maturity
date with a conversion rate of 200 shares per $1,000 face value of debentures.
An additional amount of debentures may be due based upon a performance
contingency formula during the years of February 28, 1997, 1998, and 1999
inclusive.

The Company and Global Products, Inc. ("Global") entered into a settlement
agreement ("Settlement"), effective February 16, 1995 in which both parties
agreed to dismiss all litigation, claims and counter claims related to the
dispute between the two parties.  The settlement contained provisions whereby
certain assets, previously owned by Summit Organization, Ltd., Global and its

In conjunction with the above settlement, the Company received an unsecured note
receivable with a face value of $1,500,000 due in monthly installments of
$15,000 over a term of 100 months.  The note is non-interest bearing for the
first 50 payments and interest bearing, at prime plus 1% over the remaining 50
payments.  As of November 30, 1996, the note is recorded at a total of $766,000,
net of its discount and allowance.


NOTE D - MARKETABLE EQUITY SECURITIES AND INVESTMENTS

                  Video Display Corporation and Subsidiaries
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

NOTE E - LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)

     On April 1, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all the assets and
assumed all the liabilities of Teltron Technologies, Inc. in exchange for a
demand note payable to an officer and shareholder of the Company in the amount
of $900,000 with interest payable monthly at prime plus one percent.

     The Company's $10,000,000 revolver expired December 31, 1996 and the
Company is currently in discussions with its lender regarding the terms of an
extension of its credit line. The Company does not anticipate problems in the
renegotiation of the debt.

NOTE F - CONTINGENCIES

     On June 10, 1995, the Company and its principal shareholder were named in
an Administrative Order issued by the Environmental Protection Division (EPD) of
the Georgia Department of Natural Resources regarding the investigation and
removal of hazardous substances on certain property located in Atlanta, Georgia
which the principal shareholder partially leased to the Company. The Order
imposed obligations which are basically the same as those set forth in a Consent
Order which was entered into in 1994 between the EPD and a former owner of the
property. The former owner essentially took responsibility for the hazardous
materials and agreed to investigate and remove the substances. Due to the
acceptance of responsibility by the former owner, management considered this
matter resolved and consequently previous disclosure was not provided.

During the quarter ending August 31, 1996, the Company learned that the EPD
informed the former owner that it had violated the Consent Order and commenced
its own clean-up activities through the use of an independent contractor.  The
former owner strongly denies any violations under the Order.  The EPD may
attempt to pursue reimbursement of its clean-up expenses from the former owner,
the Company, the principal shareholder, or any combination of these persons and
possibly others.  The amount of any liability, if any, associated with this
potential claim is not currently determinable.  Management believes that if any
claim is made by EPD, the Company would present a strong defense based upon the
disparity between the location of the CRT storage areas and the hazardous
substances discovered on the property and the lack of evidence that any
hazardous substances were or could have been released by the Company's CRTs.

Net Sales
---------

     Consolidated net sales increased $625,000 or 4.9% for the three months
ended November 30, 1996 as compared to the same period one year ago.
Consolidated net sales for the nine months ended November 30, 1996 increased
$2,241,000 or 5.8% as compared to the nine months ended November 30, 1995.

     CRT sales increased $176,000 or 2.7% and $1,330,000 or 7.4% for the three
and nine months ended November 30, 1996 as compared to November 30, 1995.

     Wholesale parts sales increased $448,000 or 7.4% and $912,000 or 5.0% for
the same comparative periods.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - (Continued)

     The increase of CRT sales can be attributed to the addition of two new
subsidiaries added in fiscal 1997.  The new subsidiaries added $1,080,000 and
$3,895,000 to the three and nine months ended November 30, 1996, respectively.

     The net increase in wholesale parts sales includes increases of $1,700,000
in sales of replacement parts to major electronics distributors in the nine
months ended November 30, 1996 compared to one year ago.  The fire and safety
product line has added $358,000 year to date over one year ago.  The offsetting
declines of $1,146,000 reflect the growing trend of small distribution companies
and consumer shops being absorbed or eliminated by large discount chains.

Gross Margins
-------------

     Consolidated gross margins as a percentage of sales were 36.9% verses 38.3%
for the nine months ended November 30, 1996 as compared to November 30, 1995.
The decline in gross margins can be attributed primarily to the wholesale parts
division. While sales of replacement parts to major electronics distributors
increased $1.7 million for the first nine months, those sales are at lower
margins than are generated from sales to other dealer and end user consumers.

Operating Expenses
------------------

     Selling and general and administrative expenses increased slightly in
dollar amounts in the six month comparative periods, but decreased as a
percentage of sales from 29.6% to 27.4% and 29.0% to 27.4% for the three and
nine months ended November 30, 1996 and 1995.

Interest Expense
----------------

     Interest expense increased $28,000 for the three months and $77,000 for the
nine months ended November 30, 1996 compared to the same periods a year ago.
There was a reduction of benefit of $116,000 year to date due to the expiration
of the interest swap agreements in May 1996, comparatively. Additional interest
expense was incurred due to the increased debt of $2,900,000 issued in
conjunction with the two acquisitions completed in the first half of this year.

Income Taxes
------------

     The Company's effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 was
27.1% as compared to 42.5% for the same period a year ago. The effective tax
rate for the nine months ended November 30, 1996 compared to November 30, 1995
was 29.8% versus 34.2%. The third quarter and year to date fiscal 1997 effective
tax rate reflects higher income generated by foreign subsidiaries for which no
tax provision has been accrued. The foreign subsidiary has a tax loss carry
forward which is applicable to these earnings.

Foreign Currencies
------------------

     The Company recorded a $2,000 decrease to shareholders' equity in the first
nine months of fiscal 1997 related primarily to the Company's Mexican facility
and the effects on its financial statements calculated using the Mexican peso as
its functional currency.  The peso has remained relatively stable since the
beginning of this fiscal year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

     The Company's working capital was $13,525,000 at November 30, 1996 as
compared to $11,996,000 at February 29, 1996.

     Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended
November 30, 1996 was $704,000 on net income of $1,896,000.

     Capital expenditures for fiscal 1997 are not anticipated to be significant
other than the leasehold improvements and moving costs associated with the
relocation of the Arizona electron gun facility to Stone Mountain, Georgia.
Those relocation costs are estimated to be $262,000.

     In fiscal 1995, the Company entered into a new loan agreement with the bank
providing a $4,000,000 five year term loan and a one year $10,000,000 revolving
line of credit. The revolver expired December 31, 1996 and the Company is
currently in discussions with its lender regarding the terms of an extension of
its credit line. The Company does not anticipate problems in the renegotiation
of the debt.

     In April 1996, the Company exercised its option to purchase substantially
all the assets and assume the liabilities of Teltron Technologies, Inc. ("TTI")
from officers and shareholders of the Company for cash and a demand note payable
of $900,000 as discussed in Note B of the financial statements.

     On June 1, 1996, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of Z-Axis, Inc. The
Company issued $2,000,000 of 8% convertible subordinated debentures in payment
for the acquisition as discussed in Note B of the financial statements. Z-Axis,
Inc., founded in 1989 with strong support of the Company's management,
manufactures and markets specialty monochrome and color CRT monitor assemblies.

     The Company is currently bidding on sales contracts for additional revenues
which could significantly increase its requirements for working capital. It is
the Company's intent to finance its short term capital requirements through its
existing bank borrowing relationships; however, longer term sources of more
permanent capital may be required if certain larger contracts are awarded to the
Company.
