STATEMENT
for
ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
to be held on August 23, 2002
Information Concerning the Solicitation
This Proxy Statement, which is first being mailed to shareholders on or about July 23, 2002, is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of Video Display Corporation (the "Company"), of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on August 23, 2002, at the place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and at any reconvened meeting following any adjournment thereof (the "Meeting"). The Company's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K, including financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2002, accompanies this Proxy Statement.
The accompanying proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"). The proxy is revocable at any time before it is exercised. A proxy may be revoked by filing a revoking instrument or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary of the Company or by attending the Meeting and voting in person. The shares represented by proxies received by the Board will be voted at the Meeting.
Each shareholder is entitled to one vote on each proposal per share of Common Stock held as of the record date. In determining whether a quorum exists at the Meeting for purposes of all matters to be voted on, all votes "for" or "against," as well as all abstentions (including votes to withhold authority to vote in certain cases), with respect to the proposal receiving the most such votes, will be counted. The vote required for the election of directors is a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election, provided a quorum is present. Consequently, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as part of the base number of votes to be used in determining if the proposal for the election of directors has received the requisite number of base votes for approval. Thus, with respect to the proposal for the election of directors, an abstention or broker non-vote will have no effect.
The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company. In addition to solicitation by mail, certain officers, directors and employees may, without compensation, solicit proxies by telephone, telegraph and personal interview. The Company may reimburse brokerage firms and others for expenses incurred in forwarding solicitation material to the beneficial owners of the Company's Common Stock.
Shareholders' Proposals for Next Annual Meeting
Shareholder proposals intended to be presented in the proxy materials relating to the 2003 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must be received by the Company on or before March 15, 2003.
Outstanding Voting Securities
The Company has one class of Common Stock, no par value ("Common Stock"), of which 4,753,748 shares were issued and outstanding on June 28, 2002. Each outstanding share is entitled to one vote. The Company also has a class of preferred stock authorized, no shares of which are issued and outstanding at the present time. Only holders of Common Stock of record at the close of business on July 12, 2002, are entitled to vote at the meeting.
Six directors will be elected at the Meeting, each to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until a successor has been duly elected and qualified. The persons named in the accompanying Proxy intend to vote the proxies, if authorized, for the election as directors of the six (6) persons named below as nominees.
If, prior to the Meeting, the Board should learn that any nominee will be unable to serve by reason of death, incapacity or other unexpected occurrence, the proxies that would have otherwise been voted for such nominee will be voted for such substitute nominee as selected by the Board. Alternatively, the proxies may, at the Board's discretion, be voted for such fewer number of nominees as results from such death, incapacity or other unexpected occurrence. The Board has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable to serve.
All of the nominees are currently directors of the Company. Information about the Company's directors, including their principal occupation for the past five years, is set forth below:

To the Board of Directors:
The Audit Committee is composed of three independent directors and operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. The members of the Audit Committee are currently, Mr. Moyer (Chairman of the Audit Committee), Mr. Sawyer, and Ms. Howard. The Audit Committee recommends to the Board the selection of the Company's independent accountants. Management is responsible for the Company's internal controls and the financial reporting process. The independent accountants are responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and to issue a report thereon. The Audit Committee's responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes.
In this context, the Audit Committee has held telephone discussions with management and the independent accountants. Management represented to the Audit Committee that the Company's consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the matters required to be discussed by Statements on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communications with Audit Committees) and No. 90 (Audit Committee Communications) with the independent accountants.
The Company's independent accountants also provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the Audit Committee discussed with the independent accountants that firm's independence.
Based upon the Audit Committee's discussion with management and the independent accountants and the Audit Committee's review of the representations of management and the report of the independent accountants to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board include the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2002 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Audit fees. The aggregate fees and expenses billed by BDO Seidman, LLP for professional services rendered for the audit of the Company's annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2002 and for the reviews of the financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for that fiscal year were approximately $183,000.
Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees. There were no fees billed by BDO Seidman LLP for professional services rendered for information technology services relating to financial information systems design and implementation for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2002.

All Other Fees. The aggregate fees and expenses billed by BDO Seidman, LLP for services rendered to the Company, other than the services described above under "Audit Fees" and "Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees," for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2002 were approximately $72,000.

COMPENSATION PURSUANT TO PLANS
In 1992, the Company adopted a 401(k) Retirement Plan that covers substantially all employees. Employee contributions are limited to 15% of each employee's compensation, and the Company may match 50% of up to the first 8% of gross compensation contributed by the employee. The Compensation Committee has recommended that the Company elect to match 50% of the first 4% of gross compensation contributed by each employee for the year ended February 28, 2001. The Company has elected not to match for 2002.
The Company has established a stock option plan as a performance incentive program. The options may be granted to key employees at a price not less than fair market value at the time the options are granted and are exercisable beginning on the first anniversary of the grant for a period not to exceed ten years from date of grant.
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of the Company's Common Stock, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company. Directors, executive officers and greater than ten percent shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. To the Company's knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other reports were required, during the two-year period ended February 28, 2002, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to directors, executive officers and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with.
