ANALOGIC CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

1. Basis of presentation:

Company

Analogic Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Analogic” or the “Company”) are engaged primarily in the design, manufacture and sale of high performance data acquisition, signal processing instruments and systems to customers that manufacture products for medical and industrial use. Analogic is a designer and manufacturer of advanced health and security systems and subsystems sold primarily to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”). Analogic’s principal customers are OEMs that incorporate Analogic’s products into systems used in health and security applications. Certain of Analogic’s subsidiaries and divisions sell products under their own names directly to niche end-user markets. Analogic’s top ten customers combined for approximately 69% and 67% of the Company’s total product and engineering revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and 68% and 70% for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. Investments in companies in which ownership interests range from 20 to 50 percent and the Company exercises significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. Other investments are accounted for using the cost method. On November 1, 2005, the Company sold its wholly owned subsidiary Camtronics Medical Systems, Ltd. (“Camtronics”). This business has been reported as a discontinued operation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, and the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2006 reflect this operation as discontinued. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

On November 8, 2006, John W. Wood Jr. resigned as the Company’s President. Mr. Wood’s retirement as the Company’s CEO and as a director was effective December 31, 2006. The Board appointed Dr. Edmund F. Becker, Jr. as President and Chief Operating Officer effective November 8, 2006 on an interim basis. The Board appointed Bernard M. Gordon as Executive Chairman and John A. Tarello, the Company’s former Chairman, as Vice Chairman, on an interim basis while a search for a successor to Mr. Wood was conducted. As Executive Chairman, Mr. Gordon served as Chairman of the Board and as the Company’s principal executive officer. On May 7, 2007, the Board of Directors announced that James W. Green would serve as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, effective May 21, 2007. Effective May 21, 2007, Mr. Gordon ceased being the Company’s Executive Chairman and principal executive officer. Mr. Gordon will, however, continue to serve as Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors. Also effective May 21, 2007, Dr. Becker ceased being the Company’s President and was appointed as Executive Vice President, while maintaining his role as Chief Operating Officer.

General

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for all interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2007, or any other interim period. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2006 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on October 16, 2006. The consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2006 contains data derived from audited financial statements.

Certain financial statement items have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

2. Recent accounting pronouncements:

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, which is an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN No. 48 requires management to perform a two-step evaluation of all tax positions, ensuring that these tax return positions meet the “more likely than not” recognition threshold and can be measured with sufficient precision to determine the benefit recognized in the financial statements. These evaluations provide management with a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements certain tax positions that the Company has taken or expects to take on its income tax returns. FIN No. 48 is effective for the Company’s interim reporting period beginning August 1, 2007. The Company is evaluating the impact of this pronouncement.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in the Current Year Financial Statements”. SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. When the effect of initial adoption is material, companies will record the effect as a cumulative effect adjustment to the beginning of year retained earnings. The provisions of SAB No. 108 are effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending on July 31, 2007. The Company does not believe the adoption of SAB No. 108 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 prescribes a single definition of fair value as the price that is received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the Company’s interim reporting period beginning August 1, 2008. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-including an amendment of SFAS No. 115”. The new statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a Company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item’s fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to: (a) recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status; (b) measure a plan’s assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year (with limited exceptions); (c) recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in the year in which the changes occur. Those changes will be reported through changes in comprehensive income. The requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the disclosure requirements are effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending on July 31, 2007. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of our fiscal year-end balance sheet is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact of this pronouncement.

3. Discontinued operations:

On November 1, 2005, the Company sold Camtronics for $40,000 in cash, and realized net proceeds of $38,906 including transaction costs. The Company recorded a net gain on the sale of Camtronics of $20,640, net of a tax provision of $9,140, or $1.50 per diluted share, during the three months ended January 31, 2006. In determining the gain, the Company also provided indemnification and tax liabilities of $1,102 for the three months ended January 31, 2006. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, the Company recorded an additional indemnification expense of $652, resulting in a decrease of the net gain on the sale of Camtronics to $20,207, net of a tax provision of $8,885, or $1.46 per diluted share, during fiscal year 2006.

Prior to the sale, Camtronics had been reported as a separate segment. The Company sold its Camtronics operating segment to better focus on its other core lines of business. This business has been reported as a discontinued operation in accordance with SFAS No. 144, and the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2006 reflects this operation as discontinued.

Revenues for Camtronics for the nine months ended April 30, 2006 were $11,495. The results of discontinued operations for the nine months ended April 30, 2006 for Camtronics were a net income of $159. There were no revenues or net income/(loss) from discontinued operations for the three months ended April 30, 2006.

4. Share-based payment:

Effective August 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”, which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).

The following table presents share-based compensation expenses included in the Company’s unaudited consolidated statements of operations:

 

     Three Months Ended
April 30,
   Nine Months Ended
April 30,
     2007     2006    2007    2006

     (33 )     463      351      1,398
                            

Share-based compensation expense before tax

Income tax effect

     34       143      232      472
                            

Net share-based compensation expense

   $ 186     $ 633    $ 770    $ 2,007
                            

The decrease in the pre-tax share-based compensation expense of $556 from the three months ended April 30, 2006 to the three months ended April 30, 2007 and $1,477 from the nine months ended April 30, 2006 to the nine months ended April 30, 2007 is primarily due to higher actual forfeitures during fiscal year 2007 than originally estimated as well as a lower amount of equity awards granted in recent years.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the exercise price of the award, the expected option term, the expected volatility of the Company’s stock over the option’s expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the option’s expected term, and the Company’s expected annual dividend yield. The Company believes that the valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair values of the Company’s stock options granted in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by persons who receive equity awards.

The weighted-average grant-date fair values of options granted were $19.69 and $15.29 per share during the nine months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. There were no option grants during the three months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006. The fair value of options at date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

     Nine Months Ended
April 30,
 
     2007     2006  

Expected option term (1)

   5.25 years     5.25 years  

Expected volatility factor (2)

   32 %   30 %

Risk-free interest rate (3)

   4.70 %   3.94 %

Expected annual dividend yield

   0.7 %   0.7 %

(1) The option life was determined using the simplified method for estimating expected option life, which qualifies as “plain-vanilla” options.
(2) The stock volatility for each grant is determined based on the review of the experience of the weighted average of historical weekly price changes of the Company’s common stock over the most recent five years, which approximates the expected option life of the grant of 5.25 years.
(3) The risk-free interest rate for periods equal to the expected term of the share option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

The weighted-average fair values of the options granted under the employee stock purchase plan were $11.09 and $8.82 per share during the three months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $10.46 and $8.82 per share during the nine months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The fair value of options at date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

     Three Months Ended
April 30,
    Nine Months Ended
April 30,
 
     2007     2006     2007     2006  

Expected option term

   .5 years     .5 years     .5 years     .5 years  

Expected volatility factor

   33 %   25 %   38 %   25 %

Risk-free interest rate

   5.11 %   3.43 %   5.22 %   3.43 %

Expected annual dividend yield

   0.7 %   0.7 %   0.7 %   0.7 %

At April 30, 2007, 1,733,755 shares were reserved for grant under all of the Company’s stock option, bonus and purchase plans.

Assets related to the digital radiography business

As a result of continuing losses in its digital radiography business and the related business outlook, the Company evaluated the net realizability of all of the related assets at October 31, 2006. As a result, the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of $9,705 associated with the write-down of the Company’s digital radiography system business assets to their estimated fair values as a group based upon the present value of estimated future cash flows of the business. Of the $9,705 in asset impairment charges, $8,625 was recorded to cost of sales and $1,080 was recorded to operating expenses. The $8,625 asset impairment charge recorded to cost of sales included $4,144 related to inventory, $4,191 related to a software license, and $290 related to other assets. The Company is in the process of considering several alternatives regarding how to reduce the future expected losses of the digital radiography business.

Inventory of SKY

In September 2005, the Company announced a plan to restructure the business operations of its wholly owned subsidiary, SKY. The decision to restructure SKY was based on continued lower than expected sales. The restructuring plan included an inventory write-down of $1,179 during the nine months ended April 30, 2006. During the three months ended July 31, 2006, the Company decided to close the business operations of SKY based on continued lower than expected sales, which resulted in an additional write-down of $410 of inventory.

SKY

In September 2005, the Company announced a plan to restructure the business operations of SKY. The decision to restructure SKY was based on continued lower than expected sales.

8. Net income per share:

Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Unvested restricted shares, although legally issued and outstanding, are not considered outstanding for purposes of calculating basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and, if dilutive, the weighted average number of potential shares of common stock, including unvested restricted stock and the assumed exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method.

The lower rate in the nine months ended April 30, 2007 as compared to the nine months ended April 30, 2006 is also due to the reinstatement of the U.S research and experimentation credit during fiscal year 2007.

The Company’s Corporate and Other segment represents the Company’s hotel business, net interest income, and other Company operations, primarily analog to digital converters and supporting modules, and embedded multi-processing equipment. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2006. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company performed a review of its segment reporting disclosure under SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, due to the Company’s change in management and the information reviewed by the Company’s principal executive officer. Based on that review, the Company determined that it has an additional reporting segment under Medical Technology Products called Digital Radiography Products.

The table below presents information about the Company’s reportable segments.

14. Commitments and guarantees:

In November 2002, the FASB issued FIN No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34”. FIN No. 45 requires a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken by issuing the guarantee. The following is a summary of agreements that the Company has determined are within the scope of FIN No. 45.

The Company’s standard original equipment manufacturing and supply agreements entered in the ordinary course of business typically contain an indemnification provision pursuant to which the Company indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party in connection with any United States patent, or any copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to the Company’s products. Such provisions generally survive termination or expiration of the agreements. The potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is, in some instances, unlimited. The Company has never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, the Company believes that its estimated exposure on these agreements is currently minimal. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of April 30, 2007.

During August 2006, a dispute arose between the Company and an OEM customer with whom the Company had a development agreement regarding a medical CT program. The dispute related to whether either party breached the agreement. In February 2007, a settlement was finalized, resulting in a total charge of $221 during the nine months ended April 30, 2007.

Generally, the Company warrants that its products will perform in all material respects in accordance with its standard published specifications in effect at the time of delivery of the products to the customer for a period ranging from 12 to 24 months from the date of delivery. The Company provides for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims, claim history and engineering estimates, where applicable.

15. Subsequent events:

On June 7, 2007 the Company announced that its Board of Directors, on June 5, 2007, declared a dividend of $0.10 per common share payable on July 3, 2007 to shareholders of record on June 19, 2007.

On May 23, 2007, Bio-Imaging Research, Inc. (“BIR”), of which the Company has approximately a 17% ownership interest, declared a dividend of $1,429 which was paid to the Company on May 24, 2007. This investment was being accounted for under the cost method and as of April 30, 2007 the book value was $200. On May 24, 2007, the Company sold its entire ownership interest in BIR for approximately $3,714, of which $2,807 was paid in cash upon closing and the remaining $907 will be held in escrow for a period of up to two years from the date of closing to secure any indemnification claims. The Company expects to record income before taxes on the sale and related dividend income of approximately $4,036 during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007 based on the cash received. The escrowed balance, less any amounts used to satisfy indemnification claims, will be recognized as income before taxes as the cash is received.

On June 7, 2007, the Company announced that its Board of Directors on June 5, 2007 had authorized the repurchase of up to $60,000 of the Company’s common stock. The repurchase program will be funded using the Company’s available cash.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion provides an analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. The discussion below contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements, other than statements of historical fact, the Company makes in this document or in any document incorporated by reference are forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to differ from the projected results. See Part II. Item 1A. “Risk Factors”.

The Company reports its financial condition and results of operations on a fiscal year basis ending July 31. The periods ending April 30, 2007 and 2006 represent the third quarters of the 2007 and 2006 fiscal years, respectively. All dollar amounts in this Item 2 are in thousands except per share data.

Summary

The Company is engaged primarily in the design, manufacture, and sale of high technology, high performance, high-precision data acquisition conversion (analog/digital) and signal processing instruments and systems to customers that manufacture products primarily for two major markets within the electronics industry: Medical Technology Products and Security Technology Products.

The following is a summary of the areas that management believes are important in understanding the results of the periods indicated. This summary is not a substitute for the detail provided in the following pages or for the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes that appear elsewhere in this document.

On November 8, 2006, John W. Wood Jr. resigned as the Company’s President. Mr. Wood’s retirement as the Company’s CEO and as a director was effective December 31, 2006. The Board appointed Dr. Edmund F. Becker, Jr. as President and Chief Operating Officer effective November 8, 2006 on an interim basis. The Board appointed Bernard M. Gordon as Executive Chairman and John A. Tarello, the Company’s former Chairman, as Vice Chairman, on an interim basis while a search for a successor to Mr. Wood was conducted. As Executive Chairman, Mr. Gordon served as Chairman of the Board and as the Company’s principal executive officer. On May 7, 2007, the Board of Directors announced that James W. Green would serve as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, effective May 21, 2007. Effective May 21, 2007, Mr. Gordon ceased being the Company’s Executive Chairman and principal executive officer. Mr. Gordon will, however, continue to serve as Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors. Also effective May 21, 2007, Dr. Becker ceased being the Company’s President and was appointed as Executive Vice President, while maintaining his role as Chief Operating Officer.

On November 1, 2006, the Company sold certain assets of SKY Computers, Inc. (“SKY”) and its obligation to service sold products for a purchase price of $405. The $405 includes $225 in cash paid at closing, $150 in cash paid after the closing for additional inventory, and the assumption of $30 in liabilities. The Company recorded a gain of $205 from the sale in the nine months ended April 30, 2007.

Net revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2007 was $2,583, or 3.2%, higher than for the three months ended April 30, 2006. Product revenue increased $871, or 1.2%, due primarily to increased sales in Medical Imaging products of $7,332 during the three months ended April 30, 2007 as compared to April 30, 2006. The increase was driven by strong demand for 16-slice and 64-slice data acquisition systems, CT subsystems, and MRI subsystems, partially offset by a decline in Digital Radiography product sales of $4,210, or 54.6%. The decline in the Digital Radiography products is consistent with the Company’s business outlook during the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 that led to an asset impairment charge of $9,705 in the digital radiography business during the three months ended October 31, 2006. Engineering revenue increased $1,660, or 48.6%, in the three months ended April 30, 2007 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2006. The increase was primarily due to $1,893 of revenue resulting from contract amendments received for certain funded Medical Imaging and Security Technology product projects where spending had been expensed in prior periods due to the uncertainty of their recovery. Gross margin percentage increased to 39.1% for the three months ended April 30, 2007 from 35.8% for the three months ended April 30, 2006, driven primarily by an increase in gross margin on engineering projects. In the three months ended April 30, 2007, engineering gross margin was $2,087 as compared to a loss of $807 in the three months ended April 30, 2006. This improvement was due primarily to $1,893 of revenue recognized for contract amendments received in the three months ended April 30, 2007 on projects as noted above. Additionally, during the three months ended April 30, 2007, the Company completed work on a Security Technology product project that resulted in gross margin of $793 under the completed-contract method. Total operating expenses decreased by $1,535 for the three months ended April 30, 2007 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2006. Lower engineering and development material spending, share-based compensation expense, restructuring and asset impairment charges in addition to cost saving initiatives contributed to the decrease. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased $0.32 to $0.50 for the three months ended April 30, 2007 as compared to $0.18 for the three months ended April 30, 2006. The Company’s cash, cash equivalent and marketable securities increased $15,518 from $258,237 at July 31, 2006 to $273,755 at April 30, 2007.

Engineering revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2007 increased $1,660, or 49%, from the three months ended April 30, 2006. The increase was primarily due to $1,893 of revenue resulting from contract amendments received for certain funded Medical Imaging and Security Technology product projects where spending had been expensed in prior periods due to the uncertainty of their recovery.

The engineering gross margin for the three months ended April 30, 2007 was $2,087 as compared to a loss of $807 for the three months ended April 30, 2006, an increase of $2,894, or 359%. The increase is due primarily to $1,893 of revenue recognized for contract amendments received in the three months ended April 30, 2007 as noted above. Additionally, during the three months ended April 30, 2007, the Company completed work on a Security Technology product project that resulted in gross margin of $793 under the completed-contract method. The loss of $807 for the three months ended April 30, 2006 consists primarily of costs in excess of contract revenues for certain funded Medical Technology and Security Technology projects.

Other Revenue

Other revenue of $2,273 and $2,221 for the three months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, represents revenue from the hotel operations.

Research and product development expenses decreased $871 from the three months ended April 30, 2006 to the three months ended April 30, 2007. The decrease was primarily related to a decline in the purchase of engineering and development materials as well as cost saving initiatives commenced during fiscal year 2007.

Selling and marketing expenses remained flat for the three months ended April 30, 2007 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2006. However, as a percentage of total revenue, these expenses decreased to 8.3% for the three months ended April 30, 2007 as compared to 8.6% for the three months ended April 30, 2006 due to higher revenue.

General and administrative expenses decreased $556 from the three months ended April 30, 2006 to the three months ended April 30, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in share-based compensation expense of $496 during the three months ended April 30, 2007. Also contributing to the decrease was the November 1, 2006 sale of SKY, which had general and administrative expenses of $128 for the three months ended April 30, 2006 and cost saving initiatives implemented during fiscal year 2007.

Restructuring and asset impairment charges were $84 for the three months ended April 30, 2006 related to additional severance for SKY employees. During the fourth quarter ended July 31, 2006, the Company recorded additional severance and decided to close the business operations of SKY while maintaining SKY’s manufacturing and service capabilities in order to meet its commitments to existing customers. On November 1, 2006, the Company sold certain assets of SKY and its obligation to service sold products for a purchase price of $405. The $405 includes $225 in cash paid at closing, $150 in cash paid after the closing for additional inventory, and the assumption of $30 in liabilities. The Company recorded a gain of $205 from the sale in the three months ended January 31, 2007.

Other Income (Expense)

Net interest income was $3,163 for the three months ended April 30, 2007 as compared to $2,610 for the three months ended April 30, 2006. The increase was primarily due to higher invested cash balances and to higher effective interest rates.

The Company recorded an equity loss in unconsolidated affiliates of $456 related to PhotoDetection Systems, Inc. (“PDS”) for the three months ended April 30, 2007 as compared to an equity loss of $332 related to PDS for the three months ended April 30, 2006.

Other income was $161 for the three months ended April 30, 2007 as compared to $116 for the three months ended April 30, 2006. The increase in other income was predominantly due to foreign currency exchange gains incurred by the Company’s Canadian and Danish subsidiaries.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective rate for the three months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006 was 22.1% and 24.6%, respectively. The lower rate in 2007 is due primarily to a release of tax reserves resulting from the expiration of statutes of limitations on prior year tax filings and the reinstatement of the U.S research and experimentation credit during fiscal year 2007.

Net income from continuing operations was $6,998 for the three months ended April 30, 2007 as compared to $2,510 for the three months ended April 30, 2006. Basic earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.51 and $0.18 for the three months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.50 and $0.18 for the three months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in net income was primarily related to the engineering gross margin increase of $2,894 in the three months ended April 30, 2007 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2006. The improved gross margin in engineering is due primarily to $1,893 of revenue resulting from contract amendments received for certain funded Medical Imaging and Security Technology product projects where spending had been expensed in prior periods due to the uncertainty of their recovery. Additionally, during the three months ended April 30, 2007, the Company completed work on a Security Technology product project that resulted in gross margin of $793 under the completed-contract method.

Nine Months Ended April 30, 2007 vs. Nine Months Ended April 30, 2006

Net Revenue

Net revenue and gross margin for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 as compared with the nine months ended April 30, 2006 are summarized in the tables below.

Product Revenue

 

     Nine Months Ended
April 30,
    Percentage Growth

     2007     2006    

Product revenue

   $ 229,851     $ 247,355     -7 %

Gross margin

     79,582       98,073     -19 %

Gross margin %

     34.6 %     39.6 %  

Product revenue for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 decreased $17,504, or 7%, over the nine months ended April 30, 2006. Security Technology product revenues decreased $26,371, or 51.3%, from $51,420 for the nine months ended April 30, 2006 to $25,049 for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 due primarily to lower shipments of EXACT systems. For the nine months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, EXACT system sales were 37 units and 96 units, respectively. In addition, revenue from Digital Radiography products declined by $6,053, or 33.1%, for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 as compared to the nine months ended April 30, 2006. The decline in Digital Radiography product sales is consistent with the Company’s business outlook during the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 that led to an asset impairment charge of $9,705 as discussed under the section “Asset Impairment Charges” below. The November 1, 2006 sale of SKY, which had no revenue in the nine months ended April 30, 2007 as compared to $5,664 for the nine months ended April 30, 2006, also contributed to the decrease. These decreases were partially offset by a $11,496, or 6.3%, increase in Medical Technology product sales which have continued to experience strong demand in the 16-slice and 64-slice data acquisition systems and CT subsystems.

Product gross margin decreased to 34.6% for the nine months ended April 30, 2007, from 39.6% for the nine months ended April 30, 2006. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in asset write-downs of $7,446 in the nine months ended April 30, 2007 as compared to the nine months ended April 30, 2006, which is discussed under the section “Asset Impairment Charges”. Excluding the asset write-downs of $8,625 and $1,179 during the nine months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, the product gross margins were $88,207 and $99,252, respectively, and the product gross margin percentages were 38.4% and 40.1%, respectively. The decrease in the product gross margin, excluding the charges associated with asset write-downs, was primarily the result of reduced manufacturing efficiency in Security Technology products caused by lower production volumes. This decrease is partially offset by efficiencies resulting from increased volume of certain Medical Technology products such as the 16-slice and 64-slice data acquisition systems and CT subsystems as well as improved margins on ultrasound products as a result of favorable product and distribution channel price mix and continued product cost reductions.

Engineering revenue decreased $2,886, or 22%, for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 as compared to the nine months ended April 30, 2006. The decrease was primarily due to $1,900 of funding the Company received during the nine months ended April 30, 2006 on a completed project for which the costs had been expensed in prior periods due to the uncertainty of their recovery.

The engineering gross margin for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 was $1,174 as compared to a loss of $718 for the nine months ended April 30, 2006, an increase of $1,892. The increase is due primarily to gross margin of $1,344 on a contract with the TSA related to security technology products during the nine months ended April 30, 2007. The increase was additionally due to the Company completing work on a Security Technology product project that resulted in gross margin of $793 under the completed contract method. The loss of $718 for the nine months ended April 30, 2006 is primarily made up of costs in excess of contract revenues for Medical Technology and Security Technology projects, which includes approximately $2,000 for a TSA contract. These costs in excess of contract revenues were partially offset by $1,900 of additional funds received on a completed project for which the costs had been previously expensed in prior periods due to the uncertainty of their recovery.

Other Revenue

Other revenue of $7,538 and $7,026 for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, represents revenue from the hotel operations. The increase was primarily due to higher occupancy rates.

Asset Impairment Charges

Asset impairment charges included in costs of sales increased by $7,446 from $1,179 in the nine months ended April 30, 2006 to $8,625 in the nine months ended April 30, 2007. The $1,179 of asset impairment charges incurred in the nine months ended April 30, 2006 related to a write-down of inventory in SKY as the result of the Company’s decision to restructure SKY during the nine months ended April 30, 2006 based on continued lower than expected sales. During the quarter ended July 31, 2006, the Company decided to close the business operations of SKY based on continued lower than expected sales, which resulted in an additional write-down of $410 of inventory. On November 1, 2006, the Company sold certain assets of SKY and its obligation to service sold products for a purchase price of $405. The $405 includes $225 in cash paid at closing, $150 in cash paid after the closing for additional inventory, and the assumption of $30 in liabilities. The Company recorded a gain of $205 from the sale in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007.

As a result of continuing losses and the business outlook of its digital radiography business, in the nine months ended April 30, 2007 the Company recorded asset impairment charges of $9,705 associated with the write-down of the digital radiography business assets to their estimated net realizable values as a group. Of the $9,705 asset impairment charges, $8,625 was recorded to cost of sales and $1,080 was recorded to operating expenses. The $8,625 asset impairment charge recorded to cost of sales included $4,144 related to inventory, $4,191 related to a software license, and $290 related to other assets. The Company is in the process of considering several alternatives regarding how to reduce the future expected losses of the digital radiography business.

Research and product development expenses decreased $3,789 from the nine months ended April 30, 2006 to the nine months ended April 30, 2007. The decrease was primarily related to less spending on engineering and development materials, a decline in the share-based compensation expense of $330, the closure of SKY’s business operations last year, which had research and development spending of $927 in the nine months ended April 30, 2006, and implemented cost saving initiatives.

Selling and marketing expenses decreased $156 from the nine months ended April 30, 2006 to the nine months ended April 30, 2007. The decrease is principally due to the reduction in selling personnel and related costs from the digital radiography business.

General and administrative expenses decreased $1,367 from the nine months ended April 30, 2006 to the nine months ended April 30, 2007. The decrease was primarily related to $548 from the closure of SKY’s business operations last year and a decline in the share-based compensation expense of $1,047 from the nine months ended April 30, 2006 to the nine months ended April 30, 2007. These decreases are partially offset by a real estate tax abatement credit received during the nine months ended April 30, 2006, which reduced spending in that period.

Restructuring and asset impairment charges were $1,080 for the nine months ended April 30, 2007, as compared to $1,612 for the nine months ended April 30, 2006. During the nine months ended April 30, 2007, the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of $1,080 related to its digital radiography system business. Included in this charge is $696 related to capitalized software still in development and $384 related to other assets. The nine months ended April 30, 2006 includes a charge of $1,612, which is made up of the following three items: a $216 impairment charge recorded for its investment in PDS based on the Company’s review for other-than-temporary impairment; a $275 impairment charge recorded for the Company’s investment in Shenzhen Anke High Tech Co. Ltd (“SAHCO”) based on a review for other-than-temporary impairment; and a $1,121 restructuring charge related to SKY, which included $811 for severance and $310 for a writedown of capital assets. The Company recorded additional severance of $95 throughout the remainder of fiscal year 2006 for SKY.

Other Income (Expense)

Net interest income was $9,532 for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 compared with $7,112 for the nine months ended April 30, 2006. The increase was primarily due to higher invested cash balances and to higher effective interest rates.

The Company recorded an equity loss in unconsolidated affiliates of $587 related to PDS for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 compared to an equity loss of $787 for the nine months ended April 30, 2006, of which $455 related to SAHCO and $332 related to PDS.

Other income was $194 and $158 for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 and April 30, 2006, respectively. The increase in other income was predominantly due to foreign currency exchange gains incurred by the Company’s Canadian and Danish subsidiaries. During the nine months ended April 30, 2007, the Company recorded a gain of $205 from the sale of SKY assets which was offset by the recovery of a $197 bad debt write-off in a prior year during the nine months ended April 30, 2006.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006 was a provision of 18.0% and 25.9%, respectively. The effective rate for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 includes the projected rate for the year of 25.4% less a benefit of 5.6% due to the release of tax reserves resulting from the expiration of statutes of limitations on prior year tax filings. The lower rate in the nine months ended April 30, 2007 as compared to the nine months ended April 30, 2006 is also due to the reinstatement of the U.S research and experimentation credit during fiscal year 2007.

Net Income and Earnings per Share

Net income and earnings per share from continuing operations for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

     2.8 %     4.7 %

Diluted EPS from continuing operations

   $ 0.50     $ 0.92  

Net income from continuing operations was $7,058 for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 as compared to net income of $12,670 for the nine months ended April 30, 2006. Basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 was $0.51 and $0.50, respectively, as compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.93 and $0.92, respectively, for the nine months ended April 30, 2006. The net income from continuing operations for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 includes asset impairment charges on a pre-tax basis of $9,705 related to the writedown of the digital radiography business. Net income for the nine months ended April 30, 2006 includes restructuring and asset impairment charges on a pre-tax basis of $2,791, primarily due to the closure of SKY’s business operations. In addition to the effect of these asset impairment charges, net income declined for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 as compared to the nine months ended April 30, 2006 primarily due to lower sales of Security Technology products partially offset by higher sales of Medical Imaging products.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $273,755 and $258,237 at April 30, 2007 and July 31, 2006, respectively. The Company’s balance sheet reflects a current ratio of 6.6 to 1 at April 30, 2007 which has declined from 7.0 to 1 at July 31, 2006 due primarily to an increase in accounts payable and accrued income taxes as a result of timing of payments. Liquidity is sustained principally through funds provided from operations, with short-term deposits and marketable securities available to provide additional sources of cash. The Company believes that its balances of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and cash flows expected to be generated by future operating activities will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements over at least the next twelve months.

The Company faces limited exposure to financial market risks, including adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial results. The Company’s primary exposure is related to fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and local currencies for the Company’s subsidiaries in Canada and Europe.

The carrying amounts reflected in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and trade payables approximate fair value at April 30, 2007, due to the short maturities of these instruments.

The Company maintains a limited bond investment portfolio. This portfolio is classified on the balance sheet as either cash and cash equivalents or marketable securities, depending on the length of time to maturity from original purchase. Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments primarily invested in U.S. treasury and U.S. government agency securities with maturities of three months or less from the time of purchase. Investments having maturities from the time of purchase in excess of three months are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are classified as available for sale. A rise in interest rates could have an adverse impact on the fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio. The Company does not currently hedge these interest rate exposures.

The net cash provided by operating activities of $23,693 for the nine months ended April 30, 2007, was primarily due to net income of $7,058 adjusted for the following non-cash items: $10,922 of depreciation and amortization and $9,705 non-cash impact of asset impairment charges. These cash flows provided by operating activities were partially offset by an increase of $5,509 in deferred tax assets, an increase of $3,976 in other assets, an increase of $2,836 in inventories, and a decrease of $1,558 in accrued liabilities.

The net cash used for investing activities for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 was $3,303, primarily due to $6,780 of capital expenditures, and $852 of capitalized software, partially offset by $3,800 of proceeds from maturities of marketable securities.

Table of Contents

The net cash used for financing activities for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 was $1,794, primarily due to $4,189 used for dividends paid to stockholders, partially offset by $2,281 of cash received from the issuance of stock pursuant to the Company’s employee stock option and stock purchase plans.

Commitments, Contractual Obligation and Off-Balance Sheets Arrangements

The Company’s contractual obligations at April 30, 2007, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on liquidity and cash flows in future periods, are as follows:

 

Contractual Obligation

   Total    Less than 1

The Company currently has approximately $23,900 in revolving credit facilities with various banks available for direct borrowings. As of April 30, 2007, there were no direct borrowings, commitments, contractual obligations or off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company’s most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. These policies include estimates and significant judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expense, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company continues to have the same critical accounting policies and estimates as are described in Item 7, beginning on page 23, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2006 filed with the SEC. Those policies and estimates relate to revenue recognition and account receivable; stock based compensation; inventories; concentration of credit risk; warranty reserve; investment in and advances to affiliated companies; intangible assets and other long-lived assets; and income taxes. The Company continues to evaluate its estimates and judgments on an on-going basis. By their nature, these estimates and judgments require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates on matters that are inherently uncertain. In the case of the Company’s critical accounting policies, these estimates and judgments are based on its historical experience, terms of existing contracts, the Company’s observance of trends in the industry, information provided by its customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate.

During the second quarter of 2007, the Company performed a review of its segment reporting disclosure under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, due to the Company’s change in management and the information reviewed by the Company’s principal executive officer. Based on that review, the Company determined that it has an additional reporting segment under Medical Technology Products called Digital Radiography Products. The disclosure in footnote 13 to our consolidated financial statements reflects this change for revenue and income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006 as well as for identifiable assets as of April 30, 2007 and July 31, 2006.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, which is an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN No. 48 requires management to perform a two-step evaluation of all tax positions, ensuring that these tax return positions meet the “more likely than not” recognition threshold and can be measured with sufficient precision to determine the benefit recognized in the financial statements. These evaluations provide management with a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements certain tax positions that the Company has taken or expects to take on its income tax returns. FIN No. 48 is effective for the Company’s interim reporting period beginning August 1, 2007. The Company is evaluating the impact of this pronouncement.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in the Current Year Financial Statements”. SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement

approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. When the effect of initial adoption is material, companies will record the effect as a cumulative effect adjustment to the beginning of year retained earnings. The provisions of SAB No. 108 are effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending on July 31, 2007. The Company does not believe the adoption of SAB No. 108 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 prescribes a single definition of fair value as the price that is received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the Company’s interim reporting period beginning August 1, 2008. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-including an amendment of SFAS No. 115”. The new statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a Company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item’s fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to: (a) recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status; (b) measure a plan’s assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year (with limited exceptions); (c) recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in the year in which the changes occur. Those changes will be reported through changes in comprehensive income. The requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the disclosure requirements are effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending on July 31, 2007. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of our fiscal year-end balance sheet is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact of this pronouncement.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

All dollar amounts in this Item 3 are in thousands.

The Company places its cash investments in high credit quality financial instruments and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. The Company faces limited exposure to financial market risks, including adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial results. The Company’s primary exposure is related to fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and local currencies for the Company’s subsidiaries in Canada and Europe.

The Company’s cash and investments include cash equivalents, which the Company considers to be investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less. Investments having original maturities in excess of three months are stated at fair value, and are classified as available for sale. In addition, the Company maintains a limited bond investment portfolio. Total interest income for three months and nine months ended April 30, 2007 was $3,170 and $9,551, respectively. An interest rate change of 10% would not have a material impact on the fair value of the portfolio or on future earnings.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2007. The term “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions to be made regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that any system of controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met and that management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2007, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There were no changes to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended April 30, 2007 that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision with respect to the Company’s Common Stock. Additional risks not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair our business. Any of these could have a material and negative effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Because a significant portion of the Company’s revenue currently comes from a small number of customers, any decrease in revenue from these customers could harm the Company’s operating results.

The Company depends on a small number of customers for a large portion of its business, and changes in its customers’ orders may have a significant impact on the Company’s operating results. If a major customer significantly reduces the amount of business it does with the Company, there would be an adverse impact on its operating results. The Company’s top ten customers combined for approximately 69% and 67% of the Company’s total product and engineering revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and 68% and 70% for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The following table shows the Company’s top 10 customers based on revenue for the nine months ended April 30, 2007.

Although the Company is seeking to broaden its customer base, it will continue to depend on sales to a relatively small number of major customers. Because it often takes significant time to replace lost business, it is likely that the Company’s operating results would be adversely affected if one or more of the Company’s major customers were to cancel, delay, or reduce significant orders in the future. The Company’s customer agreements typically permit the customer to discontinue future purchases after timely notice.

In addition, the Company generates significant accounts receivable in connection with the products the Company sells and the services it provides to its major customers. Although the Company’s major customers are large corporations, if one or more of its customers were to become insolvent or otherwise be unable to pay for the Company’s products and services, the Company’s operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Competition from existing or new companies in the medical and security imaging technology industry could cause the Company to experience downward pressure on prices, fewer customer orders, reduced margins, the inability to take advantage of new business opportunities, and the loss of market share.

The Company operates in a highly competitive industry. The Company is subject to competition based on product design, performance, pricing, quality, and service offerings, and management believes the Company’s innovative engineering and product reliability have been important factors in its growth. While the Company tries to maintain competitive pricing on those products which are directly comparable to products manufactured by others, in many instances the Company’s products will conform to more exacting specifications and carry a higher price than analogous products manufactured by others.

The Company’s competitors include divisions of larger, more diversified organizations as well as specialized companies. Some of them have greater resources and larger staffs than the Company has. Many of the Company’s existing and potential OEM

customers have the ability to design and manufacture internally the products that the Company manufactures for them. The Company faces competition from the research and product development groups and manufacturing operations of its existing and potential customers, who continually compare the benefits of internal research, product development, and manufacturing with the costs and benefits of outsourcing.

The Company depends on its suppliers, some of which are the sole source for certain components, and its production would be substantially curtailed if these suppliers were not able to meet the Company’s demands and alternative sources were not available.

The Company orders raw materials and components to complete its customers’ orders, and some of these raw materials and components are ordered from sole-source suppliers. Although the Company works with its customers and suppliers to minimize the impact of shortages in raw materials and components, the Company sometimes experiences short-term adverse effects due to price fluctuations and delayed shipments. In the past, there have been industry-wide shortages of electronics components. If a significant shortage of raw materials or components were to occur, the Company might have to delay shipments or pay premium pricing, which could adversely affect its operating results. In some cases, supply shortages of particular components will substantially curtail the Company’s production of products using these components. The Company is not always able to pass on price increases to its customers. Accordingly, some raw material and component price increases could adversely affect its operating results. The Company also depends on a small number of suppliers to provide many of the other raw materials and components that it uses in its business. Some of these suppliers are affiliated with customers or competitors, and others are small companies. If the Company was unable to continue to purchase these raw materials and components from its suppliers, its operating results could be adversely affected. Because many of the Company’s costs are fixed, its margins depend on the volume of output at its facilities, and a reduction in volume could adversely affect its margins.

If the Company were to be left with excess inventory, its operating results would be adversely affected.

Because of long lead times and specialized product designs, the Company typically purchases components and manufactures products in anticipation of customer orders based on customer forecasts. For a variety of reasons, such as decreased end-user demand for the Company’s products, its customers might not purchase all of the products that it has manufactured or for which it has purchased components. In either event, the Company would attempt to recoup material and manufacturing costs by means such as returning components to its vendors, disposing of excess inventory through other channels, or requiring its OEM customers to purchase or otherwise compensate it for such excess inventory. Some of the Company’s significant customer agreements do not give it the ability to require its OEM customers to do this. To the extent that the Company was unsuccessful in recouping its material and manufacturing costs, its net sales and operating results would be adversely affected. Moreover, carrying excess inventory would reduce the working capital the Company has available to continue to operate and grow its business.

Uncertainties and adverse trends affecting the Company’s industry or any of its major customers may adversely affect its operating results.

The Company’s business operates primarily within two major markets within the electronics industry, Medical Technology Products and Security Technology Products, which are subject to rapid technological change and pricing and margin pressure. These markets have historically been cyclical and subject to significant downturns characterized by diminished product demand, rapid declines in average selling prices, and production over-capacity. In addition, changes in government policy relating to reimbursement for the purchase and use of medical and security-related capital equipment could also affect the Company’s sales. The Company’s customers’ markets are also subject to economic cycles and are likely to experience recessionary periods in the future. The economic conditions affecting the Company’s industry in general, or any of its major customers in particular, might adversely affect its operating results. The Company’s other businesses are subject to the same or greater technological and cyclical pressures.

The Company’s customers’ delay or inability to obtain any necessary United States or foreign regulatory clearances or approvals for their products could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

The Company’s products are used by a number of its customers in the production of medical devices that are subject to a high level of regulatory oversight. A delay in obtaining or inability to obtain any necessary United States or foreign regulatory clearances or approvals for products could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. The process of obtaining clearances and approvals can be costly and time-consuming. There is a further risk that any approvals or clearances, once obtained, might be withdrawn or modified. Medical devices cannot be marketed in the United States without clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). Medical devices sold in the United States must also be manufactured in compliance with FDA rules and regulations, which regulate the design, manufacturing, packing, storage, and installation of medical devices. Moreover, medical devices are required to comply with FDA regulations relating to investigational research and labeling. States may also regulate the manufacturing, sale, and use of medical devices. Medical devices are also subject to approval and regulation by foreign regulatory and safety agencies.

The Company’s business strategy involves the pursuit of acquisitions or business combinations, which if consummated could be difficult to integrate, disrupt the Company’s business, dilute shareholder value, or divert management attention.

As part of the Company’s business strategy, the Company might consummate acquisitions or business combinations. Acquisitions are typically accompanied by a number of risks, including the difficulty of integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired companies, the potential disruption of the Company’s ongoing business and distraction of management, expenses related to the acquisition, and potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired businesses. If the Company does not successfully complete acquisitions that it pursues in the future, it could incur substantial expenses and devote significant management time and resources without generating any benefit to the Company. In addition, substantial portions of the Company’s available cash might be utilized as consideration for these acquisitions.

The Company’s annual and quarterly operating results are subject to fluctuations, which could affect the market price of its Common Stock.

The Company’s annual and quarterly results may vary significantly depending on various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, and may not meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors. If this occurs, the price of the Company’s common stock would likely decline. These factors include:

 

   

variations in the timing and volume of customer orders relative to the Company’s manufacturing capacity;

 

   

introduction and market acceptance of the Company’s customers’ new products;

 

   

changes in demand for the Company’s customers’ existing products;

 

   

the timing of the Company’s expenditures in anticipation of future orders;

 

   

effectiveness in managing the Company’s manufacturing processes;

 

   

changes in competitive and economic conditions generally or in the Company’s customers’ markets;

 

   

changes in the cost or availability of components or skilled labor;

 

   

foreign currency exposure; and

 

   

investor and analyst perceptions of events affecting the Company, its competitors, and/or its industry.

As is the case with many technology companies, the Company typically ships a significant portion of its products in the last month of a quarter. As a result, any delay in anticipated sales is likely to result in the deferral of the associated revenue beyond the end of a particular quarter, which would have a significant effect on the Company’s operating results for that quarter. In addition, most of the Company’s operating expenses do not vary directly with net sales and are difficult to adjust in the short term. As a result, if net sales for a particular quarter were below the Company’s expectations, it could not proportionately reduce operating expenses for that quarter, and, therefore, that revenue shortfall would have a disproportionate adverse effect on its operating results for that quarter.

Loss of any of the Company’s key personnel could hurt its business because of their industry experience and their technological expertise.

The Company operates in a highly competitive industry and depends on the services of its key senior executives and its technological experts. The loss of the services of one or several of its key employees or an inability to attract, train, and retain qualified and skilled employees, specifically engineering and operations personnel, could result in the loss of customers or otherwise inhibit the Company’s ability to operate and grow its business successfully.

On November 8, 2006, John W. Wood Jr. resigned as the Company’s President. Mr. Wood’s retirement as the Company’s CEO and as a director was effective December 31, 2006. The Board appointed Dr. Edmund F. Becker, Jr. as President and Chief Operating Officer effective November 8, 2006 on an interim basis. The Board appointed Bernard M. Gordon as Executive Chairman and John A. Tarello, the Company’s former Chairman, as Vice Chairman, on an interim basis while a search for a successor to Mr. Wood was conducted. As Executive Chairman, Mr. Gordon served as Chairman of the Board and as the Company’s principal executive officer. On May 7, 2007, the Board of Directors announced that James W. Green would serve as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, effective May 21, 2007. Effective May 21, 2007, Mr. Gordon ceased being the Company’s Executive Chairman and principal executive officer. Mr. Gordon will, however, continue to serve as Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors. Also effective May 21, 2007, Dr. Becker ceased being the Company’s President and was appointed as Executive Vice President, while maintaining his role as Chief Operating Officer.

If the Company is unable to maintain its expertise in research, product development, and manufacturing processes, it will not be able to compete successfully.

The Company believes that its future success will depend upon its ability to provide research, product development, and manufacturing services that meet the changing needs of its customers. This requires that the Company successfully anticipate and respond to technological changes in design and manufacturing processes in a cost-effective and timely manner. As a result, the Company continually evaluates the advantages and feasibility of new product designs, and manufacturing processes. The Company cannot, however, be certain that its development efforts will be successful.
