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.
Our fiscal quarter ends on the Saturday nearest the end of the quarter-ending month. The second quarter of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 both contained 13 weeks. The first six months of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 both contained 26 weeks.
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 six months ended November 26, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending May 27, 2023.
As described in Note 1, Description of the Company and Note 7, Segment Reporting, the Company began reporting the results for its new Green Energy Solutions ("GES") segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 due to its focus on the power applications that support the green energy market. The GES segment has been carved out of our existing Power and Microwave Technologies (“PMT”) segment. Accordingly, the Company is reporting its financial performance based on four operating and reportable segments. The results for fiscal 2022 presented herein were adjusted to reflect the presentation of the new GES segment separately from the PMT segment. Refer to Note 7, Segment Reporting, for additional information on the changes in operating and reportable segments.
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 28, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on August 1, 2022.
3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Inventories, net: Our consolidated inventories were stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, generally using a weighted-average cost method. Our net inventories include approximately $
At this time, we do not anticipate any material risks or uncertainties related to possible future inventory write-downs. Provisions for obsolete or slow-moving inventories are recorded based upon regular analysis of stock rotation privileges, obsolescence, the exiting of certain markets and assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If future demand changes in the industry, or market conditions differ from management’s estimates, additional provisions may be necessary. Inventory reserves were approximately $
Revenue Recognition: Our customers are generally not resellers, but rather businesses that incorporate our products into their processes from which they generate an economic benefit. The goods are also distinct in that each item sold to the customer is clearly identified on both the purchase order and resulting invoice. Each product we sell benefits the customer independently of the other products. Each item on each purchase order from the customer can be used by the customer unrelated to any other products we provide to the customer.
The Company’s revenue includes the following streams:
Manufacturing/assembly typically includes the products that are manufactured or assembled in our manufacturing facility. These products can either be built to the customer’s prints/designs or are products that we stock in our warehouse to sell to any customer that places an order. The manufacturing business does not include a separate service bundled with the product sold or sold in addition to the product. Our contracts for customized products generally include termination provisions if a customer cancels its order. However, we recognize revenue at a point in time because the termination provisions normally do not require, upon cancelation, the customer to pay fees that are commensurate with the work performed. Each purchase order explicitly states the goods or service that we promise to transfer to the customer. The promises to the customer are limited only to those goods or service. The performance obligation is our promise to deliver both goods that were produced by the Company and resale of goods that we purchase from our suppliers. Our shipping and handling activities for destination shipments are performed prior to the customer obtaining control. As such, they are not a separate promised service. The Company elects to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the goods. The goods we provide to our customers are distinct in that our customers benefit from the goods we sell them through use in their own processes.
8
Distribution typically includes products purchased from our suppliers, stocked in our warehouses and then sold to our customers. The distribution business does not include a separate service bundled with the product sold or sold on top of the product. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods is transferred to our customers, which is simultaneous with the title transferring to the customer, in an amount that reflects the transaction price consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods. Control refers to the ability of the customer to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of, the remaining benefits from the goods. Our transaction price consideration is fixed, unless otherwise disclosed below as variable consideration. Generally, our contracts require our customers to pay for goods after we deliver products to them. Terms are generally on open account, payable net 30 days in North America, and vary throughout Asia/Pacific, Europe and Latin America subject to customary credit checks.
Repair, installation or training activities generate services revenue. The services we provide are relatively short in duration and typically completed in one or two weeks. Therefore, at each reporting date, the amount of unbilled work is insignificant. The services revenue has consistently accounted for less than
We record discounts taken based on historical experience. The policy varies by business unit. The Company allows returns with prior written authorization. We estimate returns based on historical experience. The Company maintains a reserve for returns based on historical trends that covers all contracts and revenue streams using the expected value method because we have a large number of contracts with similar characteristics, which is considered variable consideration. The reserve for returns creates a refund liability on our balance sheet as a contra trade accounts receivable as well as an asset in inventory. We value the inventory at cost due to there being minimal or no costs to the Company as we generally require the customer to pay freight and we typically do not have costs associated with activities such as relabeling or repackaging. The reserve is considered immaterial at each balance sheet date. Returns for defective product are typically covered by our suppliers’ warranty, thus, returns for defective product are not factored into our reserve.
Principal versus agent guidance was considered for customized products that are provided by our suppliers versus manufactured by the Company. The Company acts as the principal as we are responsible for satisfying the performance obligation. We have primary responsibility for fulfilling the contract, we have inventory risk prior to delivery to our customer, we establish prices, our consideration is not in the form of a commission and we bear the credit risk. The Company recognizes revenue in the gross amount of consideration.
Contracts with customers
A revenue contract exists once a customer purchase order is received, reviewed and accepted. Each accepted purchase order identifies a distinct good or service as the performance obligation. The goods include standard products purchased from a supplier and stocked on our shelves, customized products purchased from a supplier, products that are customized or have value added to them in house prior to shipping to the customer and manufactured products. Prior to accepting a customer purchase order, we review the credit worthiness of the customer. Purchase orders are deemed to meet the collectability criterion once the customer’s credit is approved. The Company receives advance payments or deposits from our customers before revenue is recognized resulting in contract liabilities. Contract liabilities are included in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

See Note 7, Segment Reporting, for a disaggregation of revenue by reportable segment and geographic region, which represents how our chief operating decision maker reviews information internally to evaluate our financial performance and to make resource allocation and other decisions for the Company.
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 loss may have been incurred, we will include a disclosure describing the contingency.
9
Intangible Assets: Intangible assets are initially recorded at their fair market values determined by quoted market prices in active markets, if available, or recognized valuation models. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives either on a straight-line basis or over their projected future cash flows and are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate possible impairment. Our intangible assets represent the fair value for trade name, customer relationships and non-compete agreements acquired in connection with the acquisitions. Technology represents the fair value acquired in connection with acquisitions and an exclusive license, manufacturing and distribution agreement.

Income Taxes: We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and determine the need for a valuation allowance based on a number of factors, including both positive and negative evidence. These factors include historical taxable income or loss, projected future taxable income or loss, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and the implementation of tax planning strategies. In circumstances where we, or any of our affiliates, have incurred three years of cumulative losses which constitute significant negative evidence, positive evidence of equal or greater significance is needed to overcome the negative evidence before a tax benefit is recognized for deductible temporary differences and loss carryforwards.

Warranties: We offer warranties for the limited number of specific products we manufacture.
We estimate the cost to perform under the warranty obligation and recognize this estimated cost at the time of the related product sale. We record expense related to our warranty obligations as cost of sales in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Each quarter, we assess actual warranty costs incurred on a product-by-product basis and compare the warranty costs to our estimated warranty obligation. With respect to new products, estimates are based generally on knowledge of the products and warranty experience.
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 $
4. LEASE OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER COMMITMENTS
The Company leases real and personal property in the normal course of business under various operating and financing leases. The Company uses operating leases for facility space and automobiles. Most of the leased facility space is for sales and general office use. Automobile leases are used throughout the Company. Financing leases are used for computer servers.
Several leases include renewal clauses which vary in length and may not include specific rent renewal amounts. The Company will revise the value of the right of use assets and associated lease liabilities when the Company determines it is reasonably certain of renewal.
The gross amounts of assets and liabilities related to both operating and financing leases were as follows (in thousands):

5. INCOME TAXES
We recorded an income tax provision of $
In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. Generally, years prior to fiscal 2017 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 were under examination for fiscal 2015 through fiscal 2018 in Germany. The audit was settled in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. In the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company paid the audit assessment for the fiscal 2015 through fiscal 2018 years. Our primary foreign tax jurisdictions are Germany and the Netherlands. We have tax years open in Germany beginning in fiscal 2019 and the Netherlands beginning in fiscal 2021.
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. The deferred tax liability on the outside basis difference is now primarily withholding tax on future dividend distributions. The Company does
As of November 26, 2022 and as of May 28, 2022, our worldwide liability for uncertain tax positions related to continuing operations was $

As of November 26, 2022, we have maintained a full valuation allowance against the foreign tax credit deferred tax asset based on negative evidence relating to the Company’s ability to utilize the foreign tax credit carryforward in the future. As of November 26, 2022, a valuation allowance of $
6. CALCULATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE
We have authorized
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. 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 common stock cash dividends.
The earnings per share (“EPS”) presented in our unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income were based on the following amounts (in thousands, except per share amounts):

8. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
COVID-19 Update
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects continue to evolve. As such, the full magnitude that the pandemic, and the steps taken to prevent, mitigate and/or respond to its spread, will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity and future results of operations remains uncertain. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic depends on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time, such as the duration and spread of the pandemic, the extent, speed and effectiveness of continued worldwide containment efforts, and other actions taken by governments, businesses and individuals in response to abatement and resurgence of the virus. Our ability to meet customer demands for products may be impaired or, similarly, our customers may experience adverse business consequences due to the continued impact of COVID-19 and its effects.
Reduced demand for products or impaired ability to meet customer demand (including disruptions at our transportation service providers or vendors) could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and financial performance. There were sales declines during fiscal year 2021, the majority of which were related to the COVID-19 global pandemic. While the Company did not experience sales declines during fiscal year 2022 as a result of the pandemic, the impacts of the pandemic on supply chain and freight negatively impacted our gross margins as a percentage of net sales in our Canvys and Healthcare segments.
As a result of COVID-19 and its effects, we continued to experience some component delays impacting new product development schedules. The global markets have generally suffered, and are continuing to suffer, from material disruptions in the supply chain.
Management continues to monitor the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry and workforce. Given the ever-evolving nature of the pandemic and the continued global responses to the ongoing impact of the pandemic as well as the cycle of recurrences and the after-effects, the Company is not presently able to fully estimate the effects of COVID-19 on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity going forward.
Company Response to CARES Act
On March 27, 2020, Congress enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act to provide certain relief as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. The CARES Act included provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferral of employer-side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified, improvement property. As of November 26, 2022, the Company deferred $

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Certain statements in this report may constitute “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The terms “may”, “should”, “could”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “continues”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “objective”, “plan”, “potential”, “project” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. These statements are based on management’s current expectations, intentions or beliefs and are subject to a number of factors, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences or that might otherwise impact the business include; economic, labor and political systems and conditions; global business disruption caused by the Russia invasion in Ukraine and related sanctions: currency exchange fluctuations; and the ability of the Company to manage its growth and the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 1, 2022. We undertake no obligation to update any such factor or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
In addition, while we do, from time to time, communicate with securities analysts, it is against our policy to disclose to them any material non-public information or other confidential commercial information. Accordingly, stockholders should not assume that we agree with any statement or report issued by any analyst irrespective of the content of the statement or report. Thus, to the extent that reports issued by securities analysts contain any projections, forecasts or opinions, such reports are not our responsibility.
INTRODUCTION
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to assist the reader in better understanding our business, results of operations, financial condition, changes in financial condition and significant developments. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes appearing elsewhere in this filing. This section is organized as follows:
Business Overview
Richardson Electronics, Ltd. is a leading global manufacturer of engineered solutions, power grid and microwave tubes, and related consumables; power conversion and RF and microwave components; high-value replacement parts, tubes, and service training for diagnostic imaging equipment; and customized display solutions. More than 60% of our products are manufactured in LaFox, Illinois, Marlborough, Massachusetts, or Donaueschingen, Germany, or by one of our manufacturing partners throughout the world. All our partners manufacture to our strict specifications and per our supplier code of conduct. We serve customers in the alternative energy, healthcare, aviation, broadcast, communications, industrial, marine, medical, military, scientific, and semiconductor markets. The Company’s strategy is to provide specialized technical expertise and “engineered solutions” based on our core engineering and manufacturing capabilities. The Company provides solutions and adds value through design-in support, systems integration, prototype design and manufacturing, testing, logistics, and aftermarket technical service and repair through its global infrastructure.
Some of the Company's products are manufactured in China and are imported into the United States. The Office of the United States Trade Representative ("USTR") instituted additional 10% to 25% tariffs on the importation of a number of products into the United States from China effective July 6, 2018, with additional products added August 23, 2018 and September 24, 2018. These additional tariffs are a response to what the USTR considers to be certain unfair trade practices by China. A number of the Company's products manufactured in China are now subject to these additional duties of 25% when imported into the United States.
Management continues to work with its suppliers as well as its customers to mitigate the impact of the tariffs on our customers’ markets. However, if the Company is unable to successfully pass through the additional cost of these tariffs, or if the higher prices reduce demand for the Company's products, it will have a negative effect on the Company's sales and gross margins.
The Company began reporting the results for its new Green Energy Solutions ("GES") segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 due to its focus on the power applications that support the green energy market. The GES segment has been carved out of our existing Power and Microwave Technologies (“PMT”) segment. Accordingly, the Company is reporting its financial performance based on four operating and reportable segments. The results for fiscal 2022 presented herein were adjusted to reflect the presentation of the new GES segment separately from the PMT segment.
18
The Company's four operating and reportable segments are defined as follows:
Power and Microwave Technologies combines our core engineered solutions capabilities, power grid and microwave tube business with new disruptive RF, Wireless and Power technologies. As a designer, manufacturer, technology partner and authorized distributor, PMT’s strategy is to provide specialized technical expertise and engineered solutions based on our core engineering and manufacturing capabilities on a global basis. We provide solutions and add value through design-in support, systems integration, prototype design and manufacturing, testing, logistics and aftermarket technical service and repair—all through our existing global infrastructure. PMT’s focus is on products for power, RF and microwave applications for customers in 5G, aviation, broadcast, communications, industrial, marine, medical, military, scientific and semiconductor markets. PMT 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. PMT also offers its customers technical services for both microwave and industrial equipment.
Green Energy Solutions combines our key technology partners and engineered solutions capabilities to design and manufacture key products for the fast-growing energy storage market and power management applications. As a designer, manufacturer, technology partner and authorized distributor, GES’s strategy is to provide specialized technical expertise and engineered solutions using our core design engineering and manufacturing capabilities on a global basis. We provide solutions and add value through design-in support, systems integration, prototype design and manufacturing, testing, logistics and aftermarket technical service and repair—all through our existing global infrastructure. GES’s focus is on products for numerous green energy applications such as wind, solar, hydrogen and Electric Vehicles, and other power management applications that support green solutions such as synthetic diamond manufacturing.
Canvys provides customized display solutions serving the corporate enterprise, financial, healthcare, industrial and medical original equipment manufacturers markets. Our engineers design, manufacture, source and support a full spectrum of solutions to match the needs of our customers. We offer long term availability and proven custom display solutions that include touch screens, protective panels, custom enclosures, All-In-One computers, specialized cabinet finishes and application specific software packages and certification services. Our volume commitments are lower than the large display manufacturers, making us the ideal choice for companies with very specific design requirements. We partner with both private label manufacturing companies and leading branded hardware vendors to offer the highest quality display and touch solutions and customized computing platforms.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, consolidated net sales increased 22.1% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Sales for PMT increased 10.2%, sales for GES increased 150.3%, sales for Canvys increased 10.2% and sales for Healthcare decreased 4.7%. The increase in PMT was mainly due to strong growth in both the semi-wafer fabrication industry and the RF and Microwave products. The increase in GES was mainly due to growth in our ULTRA3000 and other related product sales into the wind turbine industry and from customers manufacturing synthetic diamonds. GES also had increased sales into the Electric Vehicle market including electric cars and locomotives. The increase in Canvys was primarily due to strong sales in the North American market. The decrease in Healthcare was due to lower part sales which were partially offset by increased sales of equipment and CT tubes.
During the first six months of fiscal 2023, consolidated net sales increased 23.9% compared to the first six months of fiscal 2022. Sales for PMT increased 11.2%, sales for GES increased 177.9%, sales for Canvys increased 16.5% and sales for Healthcare increased 16.5%. The increase in PMT was mainly due to strong growth in the semi-wafer fabrication industry. The increase in GES was mainly due to growth in our ULTRA3000 and other related product sales into the wind turbine industry and from customers manufacturing synthetic diamonds. GES also had increased sales into the Electric Vehicle market including electric cars and locomotives. The increase in Canvys was primarily due to strong sales in the North American market. The increase in Healthcare was due to increased sales in all major products lines.

Gross profit reflects the distribution and manufacturing product margin less manufacturing variances, inventory obsolescence charges, customer returns, scrap and cycle count adjustments, engineering costs and other provisions.
Consolidated gross profit increased to $21.9 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $17.7 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Consolidated gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased to 33.2% during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from 32.7% during the second quarter of fiscal 2022, primarily due to product mix in PMT and product mix and manufacturing efficiencies in GES. The unfavorable product mix and foreign currency effects in Canvys and unfavorable product mix in Healthcare partially offset the favorable gross margin impact for PMT and GES.

Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased to 29.7% during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from 31.8% during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 primarily due to product mix and foreign currency effects.
Canvys net sales increased 16.5% to $20.5 million during the first six months of fiscal 2023 from $17.6 million during the first six months of fiscal 2022 primarily due to strong sales in the North American market. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased to 30.6% during the first six months of fiscal 2023 from 32.6% during the first six months of fiscal 2022 primarily due to product mix and foreign currency effects.
Healthcare
Healthcare net sales decreased 4.7% to $2.9 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from $3.1 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 due to a decrease in part sales partially offset by increases in equipment sales and CT tubes. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased to 23.2% during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to 24.5% during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 primarily due to product mix.
Healthcare net sales increased 16.5% to $6.2 million during the first six months of fiscal 2023 from $5.3 million during the first six months of fiscal 2022 due to increases in all major Healthcare product lines. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased to 30.3% during the first six months of fiscal 2023 as compared to 24.4% during the first six months of fiscal 2022 primarily due to improved manufacturing absorption and decreased component scrap expense.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased to $14.7 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from $13.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase was mainly due to higher employee compensation expenses, including incentive expense from higher operating income and higher travel expenses. However, as a percentage of net sales, SG&A for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 decreased to 22.3% compared to 24.3% for the second quarter of fiscal 2022.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $28.9 million during the first six months of fiscal 2023 from $26.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2022. The increase was mainly due to higher employee compensation expenses, including incentive expense from higher operating income and higher travel expenses. However, as a percentage of net sales, SG&A for the first six months of fiscal 2023 decreased to 21.7% compared to 24.7% for the first six months of fiscal 2022.
Other Income/Expense
Other expense was $0.1 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to other income of $0.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Other expense during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was mainly attributable to foreign exchange. 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.
Other expense was $0.5 million during the first six months of fiscal 2023, compared to other income of $0.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2022. Other expense during the first six months of fiscal 2023 was mainly attributable to foreign exchange. 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 income tax provision was $1.5 million and $0.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 and for the second quarter of fiscal 2022, respectively. The effective income tax rate during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was a tax provision of 21.5% as compared to a tax provision of 11.8% during the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The difference in rate during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2022 reflects changes in the valuation allowance recorded at year end fiscal 2022, absence of Net Operating Losses (“NOL”) for utilization in fiscal 2023, our geographical distribution of income (loss), which is primarily driven by an increase in U.S. earnings for fiscal 2023 and a state income tax provision.
We recorded an income tax provision of $3.6 million and $0.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2023 and the first six months of fiscal 2022, respectively. The effective income tax rate during the first six months of fiscal 2023 was a tax provision of 23.4% as compared to a tax provision of 9.6% during the first six months of fiscal 2022. The difference in rate during the first six months of fiscal 2023 as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2022 reflects changes in the valuation allowance recorded at year end fiscal 2022, absence of Net Operating Losses (“NOL”) for utilization in fiscal 2023, our geographical distribution of income (loss), which is primarily driven by an increase in U.S. earnings for fiscal 2023 and a state income tax provision. The 23.4% effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% as a result of our geographical distribution of income (loss), which is primarily driven by an increase in U.S. earnings for fiscal 2023 and a state income tax provision.
23
In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. Generally, years prior to fiscal 2017 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 were under examination for fiscal 2015 through fiscal 2018 in Germany. The audit was settled in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. In the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company paid the audit assessment for the fiscal 2015 through fiscal 2018 years. Our primary foreign tax jurisdictions are Germany and the Netherlands. We have tax years open in Germany beginning in fiscal 2019 and the Netherlands beginning in fiscal 2021.
Net Income and Per Share Data
Net income during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $5.5 million, or $0.39 per diluted common share and $0.35 per Class B diluted common share as compared to $4.1 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 or $0.30 per diluted common share and $0.27 per Class B diluted common share.
Net income during the first six months of fiscal 2023 was $11.9 million, or $0.83 per diluted common share and $0.75 per Class B diluted common share as compared to $6.8 million during the first six months of fiscal 2022 or $0.50 per diluted common share and $0.45 per Class B diluted common share.
LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL POSITION AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our operations and cash needs have been primarily financed through income from operations and cash on hand.
Cash, cash equivalents and investments were $31.1 million at November 26, 2022. Cash, cash equivalents and investments by geographic area at November 26, 2022 consisted of $13.7 million in North America, $9.1 million in Europe, $1.4 million in Latin America and $6.9 million in Asia/Pacific. No funds were repatriated to the United States in the first six months of fiscal 2023. However, we anticipate repatriation of funds to the United States in subsequent quarters. Although the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act generally eliminated federal income tax on future cash repatriation to the United States, cash repatriation may be subject to state and local taxes, withholding or similar taxes. See Note 7, Income Taxes of the notes to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 28, 2022, filed with the SEC on August 1, 2022 for further information.
Cash, cash equivalents and investments were $40.5 million at May 28, 2022. Cash, cash equivalents and investments by geographic area at May 28, 2022 consisted of $25.7 million in North America, $6.0 million in Europe, $1.5 million in Latin America and $7.3 million in Asia/Pacific. We repatriated a total of $1.5 million to the United States in fiscal 2022 from our foreign entities. This amount includes $0.7 million in the first quarter from our entity in China, $0.3 million in the second quarter from our entity in Taiwan and $0.5 million in the third quarter from our entity in Japan.
Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements primarily arise from: (i) working capital requirements, (ii) capital expenditure needs and (iii) cash dividend payments (if and when declared by our Board of Directors). Our ability to fund these requirements will depend, in part, on our future cash flows, which are determined by our future operating performance and, therefore, subject to prevailing global macroeconomic conditions and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. The Company continues to monitor the impact of COVID-19, including the extent, duration and effectiveness of containment actions taken, the speed and extent of vaccination programs, the impact of the pandemic on its supply chain, manufacturing and distribution operations, customers and employees, as well as the U.S. economy in general. However, due to the uncertain and constantly evolving impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic across the globe, the Company cannot currently predict the long-term impact on its operations and financial results. The uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects include potential adverse effects on the overall economy, the Company’s supply chain, transportation services, employees and customers. The COVID-19 pandemic and its effects could adversely affect the Company’s revenues, earnings, liquidity and cash flows and may require significant actions in response, including expense reductions. Conditions surrounding COVID-19 change rapidly and additional impacts of which the Company is not currently aware may arise. Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that the existing sources of liquidity, including current cash, will provide sufficient resources to meet known capital requirements and working capital needs through the next twelve months. Additionally, while our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, the economy and the outlook for growth in our markets, we believe our existing sources of liquidity as well as our ability to generate operating cash flows will satisfy our future obligations and cash requirements.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash flows 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 $7.2 million of cash during the first six months of fiscal 2023. We had a net income of $11.9 million during the first six months of fiscal 2023, which included non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.5 million associated with the issuance of stock option and restricted stock awards, inventory reserve provisions of $0.2 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $1.8 million associated with our property and equipment as well as amortization of our intangible assets. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities used $21.5 million in cash during the first six months of fiscal 2023, net of foreign currency exchange gains and losses, included an increase in accounts receivable of $5.5 million, an increase in inventory of $18.1 million and an increase in prepaid expenses of $0.4 million. Partially offsetting the cash utilization for accounts receivable, inventory and prepaid expenses was an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1.9 million. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to increased sales. The majority of the inventory increase was to support the product growth in LaFox manufacturing, Green Energy Solutions and Canvys, in addition to increases in the inventory for electron tubes. The increase in accounts payable was related to the inventory increase and the increase in accrued liabilities was timing related.
Operating activities used $0.2 million of cash during the first six months of fiscal 2022. We had a net income of $6.8 million during the first half of fiscal 2022, which included non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.4 million associated with the issuance of stock option and restricted stock awards, $0.1 million for inventory reserve provisions and depreciation and amortization expense of $1.7 million associated with our property and equipment as well as amortization of our intangible assets. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities used $9.2 million in cash during the first six months of fiscal 2022, net of foreign currency exchange gains and losses, included an increase in accounts receivable of $3.1 million, an increase in inventory of $9.2 million and an increase in prepaid expenses of $1.1 million. Partially offsetting the cash utilization for accounts receivable, inventory and prepaid expenses was an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $3.8 million. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to increased sales revenue. The majority of the inventory increase was to support the growth in LaFox manufacturing and the RF and microwave components business. The increase in accounts payable was related to the inventory increase and the increase in accrued liabilities was timing related.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash flows from investing activities consisted primarily of capital expenditures and purchases and maturities of investments. Our purchases and proceeds from investments consist of time deposits and CDs. The purchasing of future investments varies from period to period due to interest and foreign currency exchange rates.
Cash used in investing activities of $2.6 million during the first six months of fiscal 2023 was mainly due to capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were primarily related to our IT system, as well as our LaFox manufacturing business and facilities, which also supports both EDG and Green Energy Solutions. The Company did not have any investment purchases or maturities in the first six months of fiscal 2023.
Cash used in investing activities of $1.6 million during the first six months of fiscal 2022 was due to capital expenditures. Capital expenditures related primarily to capital used for our Healthcare business, IT system and manufacturing facilities. The Company did not have any investment purchases or maturities in the first half of fiscal 2022.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities consisted primarily of cash dividends and cash flows provided by financing activities consisted primarily of the proceeds from the issuance of stock.
Cash provided by financing activities of $1.2 million during the first six months of fiscal 2023 primarily resulted from the $2.9 million proceeds from the issuance of stock less the $1.7 million of dividend payments to stockholders.
Cash used in financing activities of $0.9 million during the first six months of fiscal 2022 were due to dividend payments of $1.6 million with a partial offset for the proceeds from the issuance of stock of $0.7 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.

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 fiscal year ended May 28, 2022, filed with the SEC on August 1, 2022.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management of the Company, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of November 26, 2022.
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 second quarter of fiscal 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
