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 in the design, manufacture, and sale of high performance data acquisition and signal processing instruments sold primarily to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) for use in advanced health and security systems and subsystems in two major markets within the electronics industry: Medical Technology Products and Security Technology Products. One of the Company’s subsidiaries sells products under its own name directly to niche end-user markets. The Company’s top ten customers combined for approximately 67% and 69% of the Company’s net product and engineering revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 68% and 68% for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. One customer, which accounted for less than 10% of net product and engineering revenue for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, accounted for 16% of net accounts receivable at April 30, 2008.

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.

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, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2008 (“fiscal year 2008”), 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, 2007 (“fiscal year 2007”) included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on September 27, 2007. The Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 31, 2007 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 September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“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. In February 2008, the FASB issued a Staff Position that has (1) partially deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for one year for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities and (2) removed certain leasing transactions from the scope of SFAS No. 157. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

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, which will be the Company’s fiscal year ending July 31, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

ANALOGIC CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Continued)

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. SFAS No. 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to record all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective acquisition date fair values, changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, changes the recognition and measurement of contingent consideration, and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS No. 141(R) also requires additional disclosure of information surrounding a business combination, such that users of the entity’s financial statements can fully understand the nature and financial impact of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, which will be the Company’s fiscal year ending July 31, 2010. An entity may not apply it before that date. The provisions of SFAS No. 141(R) will only impact the Company if the Company is a party to a business combination after July 31, 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51”. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. This statement is effective for the Company beginning August 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 160 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. This statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position since it does not have any derivative instruments or hedging activity.

3. Share-based payment:

The Company accounts for share-based compensation expense in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”, which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee and director 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 or director’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,
     2008    2007     2008    2007

     292      159       573      425

Selling and marketing

     53      57       53      110

General and administrative

     439      (33 )     1,530      351
                            

Share-based compensation expense before tax

     824      220       2,291      1,002

Income tax effect

     100      34       462      232
                            

Net share-based compensation expense

   $ 724    $ 186     $ 1,829    $ 770
                            

The increase in the pre-tax share-based compensation expense of $604 and $1,289 from the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007 to the three and nine months ended April 30, 2008, respectively, is due primarily to $439 and $635 of compensation expense recognized in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2008 related to performance contingent restricted stock granted in fiscal year 2008. Also contributing to the increases was a decrease in the forfeiture rate for the stock option and stock bonus plans in the second quarter of fiscal year 2008.

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 Common 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 outstanding stock options. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by persons who receive equity awards.

During the nine months ended April 30, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) granted target awards of 99,433 shares (the “2008—2010 award”) of performance contingent restricted stock under the Company’s 2007 Restricted Stock Plan, of which 111 shares have been forfeited. These shares will vest if specific pre-established levels of performance are achieved at the end of a three-year performance cycle. The performance goal for the 2008—2010 award is based solely on the cumulative growth of an adjusted earnings per share metric. The actual number of shares to be issued will be determined at the end of a three-year performance cycle and can range from zero to 200% of the target award, or up to 198,866 shares, and also includes payment of dividend equivalents on the actual number of shares earned. The maximum compensation expense for the 2008—2010 award is $11,776 based on a weighted-average fair value of $59.25 per share. Compensation expense is being recognized over the performance period based on the number of shares that is deemed to be probable of vesting at the end of the three-year performance cycle, which is currently 62,842 shares, or $3,723. During the three and nine months ended April 30, 2008, $439 and $635, respectively, of compensation expense was recognized for the 2008-2010 award based on the amount of shares deemed probable of vesting.

The weighted-average grant-date fair values of options granted were $21.58 and $19.69 per share during the nine months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. There were no option grants during the three months ended April 30, 2008 or 2007. The fair value of options at date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

On January 28, 2008, the Company’s stockholders approved a new share-based director compensation plan for the non-employee members of the Board named the “Analogic Corporation Non-Employee Director Stock Plan”. During the three and nine months ended April 30, 2008, 1,104 shares were granted under this plan.

The Analogic Corporation Non-Employee Director Stock Plan (the “Plan”) provides for an Annual Share Retainer to be granted to each participant on each February 1. The Annual Share Retainer for calendar year 2008 had a value of $35. The number of shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) a participant will receive as a result of the Annual Share Retainer will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the dollar value of the Annual Share Retainer by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on February 1 of the relevant year. Under the Plan, the dollar value of the Annual Share Retainer may be adjusted from year to year as determined by the Board after review by and a recommendation from the Compensation Committee, subject to a maximum annual dollar amount of $70 per non-employee director. Participants are not required to pay any purchase price for this Annual Share Retainer. Each participant may elect to receive some or all of (i) his or her Annual Share Retainer for a given calendar year or (ii) his or her Annual Cash Retainer (which consists of the annual base cash compensation he or she receives for service on the Board and on any committees of the Board, and, if applicable, all other compensation received for service as Chairman of the Board and as a Committee Chairman) in the form of “Deferred Stock Units”, as elected by the participant no later than December 15 of the preceding calendar year. If Deferred Stock Units are elected, the number of units is determined by dividing the dollar value of the Annual Share Retainer and/or Annual Cash Retainer (or portion thereof being deferred) by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date that the retainer otherwise would have been paid. The Deferred Stock Units are then assigned to a “Deferred Stock Unit Account” established

and maintained by the Company for each participant who receives Deferred Stock Units pursuant to the Plan. The value of the Deferred Stock Units credited to this account change in relation to changes in the value of a share of Common Stock. Additional Deferred Stock Units are credited to this account based on the value of dividend equivalents that are earned on Deferred Stock Units, and which will be equal to dividends that are paid on a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock. During the three and nine months ended April 30, 2008, approximately $245 of Annual Share Retainers and $13 of Annual Cash Retainers were deferred into approximately 4,065 Deferred Stock Units at a weighted average stock price of $63.35 per share. Dividend equivalents on these deferred stock units were deferred into approximately 7 Deferred Stock Units during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2008.

4. Business Combination

On April 14, 2008, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Copley Controls Corporation (“Copley”). Copley is a leading supplier of gradient amplifiers for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (“MRI”) and precision motion control systems used in computer-controlled automation systems. This acquisition will enable the Company to expand its product offerings to its OEM customers, pursue new opportunities in Asia, and enhance its position as a leading provider of medical subsystems for MRI scanners. Copley’s growing and profitable motion control business provides additional opportunities and a new avenue of growth in the high-technology automation market.

The estimated purchase price, net of cash acquired, is approximately $74,380, which consists of $76,875 of cash paid upon closing, $711 of transaction costs, which primarily consisted of fees incurred by the Company for financial advisory, legal and accounting services, $787 for estimated working capital adjustment payments, of which $711 was paid prior to April 30, 2008, and a current estimate of $1,000 due to the former stockholders of Copley to reimburse them for the additional tax costs of making an election to treat the acquisition as an asset sale for tax purposes, net of cash acquired of $4,993. A reconciliation of the total estimated purchase price, net of cash acquired, is below:

The following represents the preliminary allocation of the purchase price as of April 14, 2008:

 

Current assets

      $ 35,686  

Property, plant, and equipment

        3,912  

Goodwill

        3,515  

Intangible assets:

     

Developed technology (weighted-average useful life of 11 years)

   11,426   

Customer relationships (weighted-average useful life of 14 years)

   25,358   

Tradename (indefinite life)

   7,225   

Backlog (estimated useful life of 0.5 years)

   2,085   
       

Total intangible assets

        46,094  

Current liabilities

        (9,834 )
           

Total purchase price

      $ 79,373  
           

In determining the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company considered, among other factors, its intention to use the acquired assets and the historical and estimated future demand for Copley products and services. The fair value of developed technology and tradename intangible assets were based upon the relief from royalty approach while the customer relationship and backlog intangible assets were based on the income approach. The rate used to discount the estimated future net cash flows to their present values for each intangible asset was based upon a weighted average cost of capital ranging from 15.5% to 20.0%. The discount rate was determined after consideration of market rates of return on debt and equity capital, the weighted average return on invested capital and the risk associated with achieving forecasted sales related to the technology and assets acquired from Copley. The purchase price allocation is preliminary until management of the Company completes its valuation of the significant identifiable intangible assets acquired and the Company finalizes its personnel and idle facility restructuring plans for Copley.

The total weighted average amortization period for the intangible assets is approximately 12 years. The intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which is consistent with the pattern that the economic benefits of the intangible assets are expected to be utilized based upon estimated cash flows generated from such assets. The goodwill is classified within the Company’s Medical Imaging Products segment.

In connection with the acquisition of Copley, the Company commenced integration activities which have resulted in recognizing $950 in liabilities for personnel related costs and $150 for idle facility space. The Company expects to pay the liabilities associated with the personnel related costs and idle facility space through the fiscal year ending July 31, 2009 (“fiscal year 2009”). No payments have been made as of April 30, 2008. Management is in the process of determining whether additional liabilities relating to personnel related costs or other contractual obligations are required to be recorded.

The following pro forma information gives effect to the acquisition of Copley as if the acquisition occurred at the beginning of each period for which pro forma results have been shown. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what actually would have occurred had the acquisition been in effect for the periods presented:

5. Asset impairment charges:

As a result of continuing losses as well as the related business outlook for its digital radiography business, the Company recorded asset impairment charges of $9,705 based upon its evaluation of the net realizability of all of the related assets at October 31, 2006. The write-down recorded in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations under the caption “Asset impairment charges”, involved a reduction 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 $1,080 asset impairment charge included $696 related to capitalized software under development at the time and $384 related to other assets.

During fiscal year 2007, the Company continued to consider several alternatives regarding how to reduce future losses of the digital radiography systems business. In August 2007, the Company notified customers of its subsidiary, ANEXA Corporation (“Anexa”), which is part of the Digital Radiography Products segment, that sales and marketing of Anexa products would cease immediately to new end-user customers, but that Analogic would continue to service and support the products currently with existing customers for the foreseeable future.

12. Taxes:

The Company’s effective income tax rates were provisions of 30.0% and 32.1% for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2008, respectively. The effective income tax rate is based upon the estimated income for the year, the composition of the income in different countries, and adjustments, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods for the potential tax consequences, benefits, resolutions of tax audits or other tax contingencies. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2008, the effective tax rate varied from the statutory tax rate primarily as a result of the mix of income attributable to foreign versus domestic jurisdictions. The Company’s aggregate income tax rate in foreign jurisdictions is lower than its income tax rate in the United States. During the three months ended April 30, 2008, the Company recognized discrete tax benefits of $351 resulting primarily from employees’ disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options and currency gains on the capitalization of loans to a subsidiary located outside of the United States. For the nine months ended April 30, 2008, the Company recognized discrete net tax benefits of $406 resulting primarily from the change in tax rate on certain foreign deferred tax assets, the tax benefit from employees’ disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options and currency gains on the capitalization of loans to a subsidiary located outside of the United States.

The Company’s effective income tax rates were provisions of 22.1% and 18.0% for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007, respectively. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007, the effective tax rate varied from the statutory tax rate primarily as a result of the mix of income attributable to foreign versus domestic jurisdictions. Additionally, during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007, the Company recognized discrete tax benefits of $298 and $663, respectively. The discrete benefit recognized during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007 resulted primarily from employees’ disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options and the reinstatement of the research and experimentation credit as of January 1, 2006.

The Company adopted FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, which is an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, at the beginning of fiscal year 2008. 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. As a result of the implementation of FIN No. 48, the Company recognized a net increase of $2,239 to the August 1, 2007 retained earnings balance, which consisted of a non-current other asset and accrued income taxes of $3,806 and $1,567, respectively. At the adoption date of August 1, 2007, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits, which excludes interest and penalties discussed below, was approximately $17,585. The unrecognized tax benefits have increased to $18,336 at April 30, 2008 and if recognized in a future period, the timing of which is not estimable, the net unrecognized tax benefit of approximately $18,336 would impact the Company’s effective tax rate.

Analogic and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. Federal income tax as well as the income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company has concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters for fiscal years ended through July 31, 2002. As of April 30, 2008, Analogic is under audit by the Internal Revenue Service for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2003 and 2004. It is not yet known when the audit will be completed. The Company also has an unresolved state tax audit currently under appeal. It is reasonably possible that a reduction in the unrecognized tax benefits may occur as a result of one or both of the matters concluding, but quantification of an estimated range cannot be made at this time.

Within the next four fiscal quarters, the statute of limitations will close on the 2002 and 2003 tax returns filed in various foreign jurisdictions. As a result, it is reasonably expected that net unrecognized tax benefits from these foreign jurisdictions may be recognized within the next four quarters. The recognition of these tax benefits is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company accrues interest and, if applicable, penalties for any uncertain tax positions. This interest and penalty expense is treated as a component of income tax expense. At the date of adoption of FIN No. 48 and at April 30, 2008, the Company had approximately $1,025 and $1,181, respectively, accrued for interest on unrecognized tax benefits.

The refundable and deferred tax assets at July 31, 2007 included U.S. Federal and State refund claims. The fiscal year 2004 federal net operating loss was carried back to offset the fiscal year 2002 and fiscal year 2003 Federal income tax returns and was expected to generate a refund of $4,918 at completion of the IRS audit discussed above by July 31, 2008. At April 30, 2008, the Company reclassified the $4,918 to non-current other assets as the expected completion of the IRS audit above has been delayed and, therefore, the $4,918 is not expected to be received before May 1, 2009.

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 OEM and supply agreements entered into 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, 2008.

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.

The following table presents the Company’s product warranty liability for the reporting periods:

The Company currently has approximately $28,300 in revolving credit facilities with banks available for direct borrowings.

15. Investment in and advances to affiliated companies:

On January 30, 2008, the Company entered into a shares purchase agreement (the “Shares Purchase Agreement”) with Chonqing Anke Medical Equipment Co. (“CA”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to CA 19.645% of its existing 44.645% equity interest in Shenzhen Anke High Tech Co. Ltd (“SAHCO”), located in the People’s Republic of China, for aggregate cash consideration of US $2,000. Upon conclusion of the transaction, Analogic will hold a 25% equity interest in SAHCO. The Company had previously determined that its investment in SAHCO was impaired; and in the three months ended January 31, 2006, the Company wrote off the residual net book value of its equity interest. The $2,000 of consideration will be recognized as a gain on investment in the period it is received.

Prior to fiscal year 2008, the Company determined that $275 in receivables due from SAHCO were not probable of being collected and as a result recorded bad debt expense of $275. In December 2007, the Company collected approximately $132 of the original receivable due from SAHCO and reduced the bad debt allowance by $132 during the nine months ended April 30, 2008. On January 30, 2008, in conjunction with the Shares Purchase Agreement, the Company and CA entered into a debt repayment agreement for the remaining outstanding receivable of $143 and an additional $500 due under a license agreement that the Company had not recorded as revenue in a prior period due to the uncertainty of it being collected. The $643 was received by the Company in February 2008 and the Company recorded a reduction to the bad debt allowance of $143 during the nine months ended April 30, 2008 and revenue of $500 during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2008, as revenue with SAHCO is recognized on a cash basis due to historical collectibility issues.

16. Subsequent events:

In May 2008, the Company notified approximately 40 employees in various departments of the organization that they would be terminated by July 31, 2008. The costs associated with these terminations, which include severance and personnel related costs, are estimated to range between $900 and $1,000, and will be recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008.

On June 4, 2008, the Company announced a voluntary retirement program for all of its U.S. employees, under which the retirements are expected to be substantially completed by the end of the first quarter in fiscal year 2009. Employees to be eligible to participate in this program must meet certain defined criteria. The Company has estimated that total costs under this program, which will include severance and personnel related costs, will be approximately $6,000 if all eligible employees volunteer for this program. At this time, the Company cannot estimate the number of employees who will volunteer to participate in this program.

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

The following discussion provides an analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of Analogic Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Analogic” or the “Company”) 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 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 materially from the projected results as a result of various important factors, including those set forth in 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 ended April 30, 2008 and 2007 represent the third quarters of the 2008 and 2007 fiscal years, respectively. All dollar amounts in this Item 2 are in thousands except per share data.

Summary

The Company is engaged in the design, manufacture, and sale of high performance data acquisition and signal processing instruments sold primarily to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) for use in advanced health and security systems and subsystems in two major markets within the electronics industry: Medical Technology Products and Security Technology Products. Medical Technological Products consists of three reporting segments: Medical Imaging Products; Digital Radiography Products; and B-K Medical ApS (“B-K Medical”). One of Analogic’s subsidiaries sells products under its own name directly to niche end-user markets.

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.

Although revenues increased $18,879, or 23%, to $102,768 for the three months ended April 30, 2008 from $83,889 for the three months ended April 30, 2007, and income from operations increased $1,552, or 25%, for the same periods, net income and diluted net income per share remained relatively consistent in the three months ended April 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007. The primary reasons for the net income and diluted net income per share remaining relatively consistent in the three months ended April 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007 despite substantial growth in revenues and operating profits were a decline in net interest income of $1,523 driven by lower interest rates and cash balances and an increase in the effective income tax rate of 7.9%.

On April 14, 2008, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Copley Controls Corporation (“Copley”). The estimated purchase price, net of cash acquired, is approximately $74,380, which consists of $76,875 of cash paid upon closing, $711 of transaction costs, which primarily consisted of fees incurred by the Company for financial advisory, legal and accounting services, $787 for estimated working capital adjustment payments, of which $711 was paid prior to April 30, 2008, and a current estimate of $1,000 due to the former stockholders of Copley to reimburse them for the additional tax costs of making an election to treat the acquisition as an asset sale for tax purposes, net of cash acquired of $4,993. The purchase price allocation is preliminary until management of the Company completes its valuation of the significant identifiable intangible assets acquired and the Company finalizes its personnel and idle facility restructuring plans for Copley.

During the nine months ended April 30, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors granted target awards of 99,433 shares (the “2008—2010 award”) of performance contingent restricted stock under the Company’s 2007 Restricted Stock Plan, of which 111 shares have been forfeited. These shares will vest if specific pre-established levels of performance are achieved at the end of a three-year performance cycle. During the three and nine months ended April 30, 2008, $439 and $635, respectively, of compensation expense was recognized for the 2008-2010 award based on the amount of shares deemed probable of vesting

On January 30, 2008, the Company entered into a shares purchase agreement (the “Shares Purchase Agreement”) with Chonqing Anke Medical Equipment Co. (“CA”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to CA 19.645% of its existing 44.645% equity

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended April 30, 2008 vs. Three Months Ended April 30, 2007

Net Revenue and Gross Margin

Net revenue and gross margin for the three months ended April 30, 2008 as compared with the three months ended April 30, 2007 are summarized in the tables below.

Product Revenue and Gross Margin

 

     Three Months Ended
April 30,
    Percentage
Growth
 
     2008     2007    

Product revenue

   $ 98,167     $ 76,541     28 %

Gross margin

     37,642       30,172     25 %

Gross margin %

     38.3 %     39.4 %  

Product revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2008 increased $21,626, or 28%, over the three months ended April 30, 2007 due primarily to increases in product revenue from Medical Imaging Products, Digital Radiography Products, and B-K Medical as follows:

 

   

Medical Imaging Product revenue increased $12,827, or 29%, due primarily to shipments of newly developed data management systems to an OEM customer, the development of which were not completed by the Company until the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, and strong demand for ultrasound transducers. Also contributing to the increase in revenue was $2,148 of revenue recognized under a contract with a customer in the three months ended April 30, 2008 that was deferred in prior periods because of one element without fair value that was not delivered until February 2008.

Table of Contents
   

Digital Radiography Product revenue increased $4,842, or 138%, due primarily to shipments of a newly developed mammography detector to an OEM customer, the development of which was not completed by the Company until the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007.

 

   

B-K Medical product revenue increased $3,270, or 17%, due primarily to the foreign currency exchange rate, which accounted for approximately $2,034, or 62%, of such increase.

Product gross margin decreased to 38.3% for the three months ended April 30, 2008 as compared with 39.4% for the three months ended April 30, 2007 due primarily to a decline in margin in Medical Imaging Products resulting from product mix, product yields, and price reductions. This decrease was partially offset by $1,713 of gross margin on $2,148 of revenue recognized in the three months ended April 30, 2008 primarily on Medical Imaging Products inventory that was written down to no value in a prior fiscal year.

Engineering Revenue and Gross Margin

Gross margin %

     10.7 %     41.1 %  

Engineering revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2008 decreased $2,592, or 51%, from the three months ended April 30, 2007. In addition, engineering gross margin for the three months ended April 30, 2008 declined $1,822, or 87%, to $265 from a gross margin of $2,087 for the three months ended April 30, 2007. The decreases in both revenue and gross margin were due primarily to particularly strong, high margin engineering revenue activity in the three months ended April 30, 2007. During the three months ended April 30, 2007, the Company recognized $1,893 of revenue and margin 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, which was accounted for under the completed contract method, resulting in the recognition of $1,258 of revenue and $793 of gross margin.

Other Revenue

Other revenue of $2,118 and $2,273 for the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, represents revenue from the hotel operations. The decrease was due primarily to lower occupancy rates.

   $ 30,663    $ 26,660    29.8 %   31.8 %
                          

Research and product development expenses increased $852 for the three months ended April 30, 2008 from the three months ended April 30, 2007. The increase in expenses was due primarily to reduced customer funding of engineering development projects for Medical Imaging Products and Security Technology Products in the three months ended April 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007.

Selling and marketing expenses increased $1,474 for the three months ended April 30, 2008 over the three months ended April 30, 2007. The increase was due primarily to the strengthening of European currency exchange rates which had the effect of increasing expenses for B-K Medical by $926. Other spending increases included consulting, travel, and lease costs.

General and administrative expenses increased $1,677 for the three months ended April 30, 2008 over the three months ended April 30, 2007. The increase was due primarily to increases in share-based compensation expense and director fees of $472 and $386, respectively. Also, contributing to the increase was the foreign currency exchange rate for B-K Medical, which accounted for an increase of $247, and increases in bonus, profit sharing, and audit related costs.

Other (Income) Expense

Net interest income was $1,640 for the three months ended April 30, 2008 compared to $3,163 for the three months ended April 30, 2007. The decrease was due primarily to lower effective interest rates as well as lower invested cash balances due primarily to the Company’s $60,000 Common Stock repurchase in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007. During the three months ended April 30, 2008, interest rate reductions primarily in the U.S. capital markets resulted in a significant decline in returns on invested cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. At April 30, 2008, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $176,011 as compared to $273,755 at April 30, 2007.

During the three months ended April 30, 2007, the Company recorded an equity loss of $456 in its unconsolidated affiliate, PhotoDetection Systems, Inc. (“PDS”), in which it has a 43.8 % equity interest, due to losses at PDS during that period.

Net other income was $230 and $161 for the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Other income in the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007 consisted primarily of foreign currency exchange gains realized by the Company’s Canadian and Danish subsidiaries.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rates were provisions of 30.0% and 22.1% for the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The effective income tax rate is based upon the estimated income for the year, the composition of the income in different countries, and adjustments, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods for the potential tax consequences, benefits, resolutions of tax audits or other tax contingencies. For the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, the effective tax rate varied from the statutory tax rate primarily as a result of the mix of income attributable to foreign versus domestic jurisdictions. The Company’s aggregate income tax rate in foreign jurisdictions is lower than its income tax rate in the United States. During the three months ended April 30, 2008, the Company recognized discrete tax benefits of $351 resulting primarily from employees’ disqualifying dispositions of qualified incentive stock options and currency gains on the capitalization of loans to a subsidiary located outside of the United States. During the three months ended April 30, 2007, the Company recognized discrete tax benefits of $298, which resulted primarily from employees’ disqualifying dispositions of qualified incentive stock options and the reinstatement of the research and experimentation credit as of January 1, 2006.

Net Income and Diluted Net Income per Share

Net income and diluted net income per share for the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

 

     Three Months Ended

     2008     2007  

Net income

   $ 6,679     $ 6,998  

% of net revenue

     6.5 %     8.3 %

Diluted net income per share

   $ 0.50     $ 0.50  

Net income was $6,679 for the three months ended April 30, 2008 compared to $6,998 for the three months ended April 30, 2007. Basic and diluted net income per share was $0.51 and $0.50, respectively, for the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007. Although revenues increased $18,879, or 23%, to $102,768 for the three months ended April 30, 2008 from $83,889 for the three months ended April 30, 2007, and income from operations increased $1,552, or 25%, for the same periods, net income and diluted net income per share remained relatively consistent in the three months ended April 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007. The primary reasons for the net income and diluted net income per share remaining relatively consistent in the three months ended April 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2007 despite substantial growth in revenues and operating profits were a decline in net interest income of $1,523 driven by lower interest rates and cash balances and an increase in the effective income tax rate of 7.9%.

Net Revenue and Gross Margin

Net revenue and gross margin for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 as compared with the nine months ended April 30, 2007 are summarized in the tables below.

Product revenue for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 increased $47,858, or 21%, over the nine months ended April 30, 2007 due primarily to an increase in product revenue from Medical Imaging Products, Digital Radiography Products, B-K Medical, and Security Technology Products, as follows:

 

   

Medical Imaging Product revenue increased $25,267, or 19%, due primarily to shipments of newly developed data management systems to an OEM customer, the development of which were not completed by the Company until the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007. Also contributing to the increase in revenue for Medical Imaging Products was continued strong demand for data acquisition systems and the acquisition of Copley in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, which accounted for $3,153 in the three months ended April 30, 2008.

 

   

Digital Radiography Product revenue increased $6,191, or 51%, due primarily to shipments of a newly developed mammography detector to an OEM customer, the development of which was not completed by the Company until the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007.

 

   

B-K Medical product revenue increased $8,846, or 15%, due primarily to the foreign currency exchange rate, which accounted for $5,114, or 58%, of such increase.

 

   

Security Technology Product revenue increased $7,554, or 30%, due primarily to an increase in EXACT system sales to 48 units for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 from 37 units for the nine months ended April 30, 2007.

Product gross margin increased to 38.9% for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 as compared with 34.6% for the nine months ended April 30, 2007. The increase was due primarily to increased sales volume of $25,267 in the nine months ended April 30, 2008 as compared to the nine months ended April 30, 2007 for Medical Imaging Products, an asset impairment charge $8,625 related to the write-down of assets in the digital radiography systems business in the nine months ended April 30, 2007, and improved product margins at B-K Medical due to a higher mix of sales through distribution channels that provide higher margins. Also contributing to the increase in the gross margin was an increase in manufacturing efficiency of Security Technology Products due to higher production volumes and a reduction of manufacturing employees during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007.

Engineering revenue for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 increased $267, or 3%, from the nine months ended April 30, 2007. The increase was primarily due to increases of $918 and $407 for Digital Radiography Products and Medical Imaging Products, respectively, which were partially offset by a decrease of $1,058 for Security Technology Products. The increase in Digital Radiography Products is due to a new contract with an OEM customer that began in fiscal year 2008. The increase in Medical Imaging Products was due primarily to an increase in the number of customer funded projects for Computed Tomography subsystems. The decrease of $1,058 for Security Technology Products is due to fewer customer funded projects worked on in the nine months ended April 30, 2008 as compared to the nine months ended April 30, 2007.

The negative engineering gross margin for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 was $67 as compared to a gross margin of $1,174 for the nine months ended April 30, 2007, a decline of $1,241, or 106%. The decrease was due primarily to the gross margin of $1,812 on two Security Technology Products projects during the nine months ended April 30, 2007. Also contributing to the decrease was the Company completing work on a Security Technology Products project that resulted in gross margin of $793 under the completed contract method during the three months ended April 30, 2007. These gross margins in the nine months ended April 30, 2007 were partially offset by costs in excess of contract revenues for Medical Imaging Products projects of $1,663.

Other Revenue

Other revenue of $7,933 and $7,538 for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, represents revenue from the hotel operations. The increase was primarily due to higher occupancy and room rates.

Research and product development expenses decreased $366 for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 from the nine months ended April 30, 2007. The decrease was due primarily to an increase in capitalization costs for software development projects of $692, a reduction in the headcount of Security Technology Products engineers at April 30, 2008 as compared to April 30, 2007, and a decline in spending for engineering development materials. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in bonus and profit sharing costs of $705.

Selling and marketing expenses increased $2,765 for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 over the nine months ended April 30, 2007. The increase was due primarily to an increase from the foreign currency exchange rate for B-K Medical, which accounted for an increase of $2,240, as well as an increase in bonus costs and sales commissions cost at B-K Medical. These increases were partially offset by a reduction of $921 in Digital Radiography Products due to Anexa ceasing selling and marketing efforts of its products in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008.

General and administrative expenses increased $3,323 for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 over the nine months ended April 30, 2007. The increase was due primarily to increases in bonus and profit sharing costs, share-based compensation expense, and executive transition costs of $1,877, $1,179, and $516, respectively. Also contributing to the increase was the foreign currency exchange rate for B-K Medical, which accounted for an increase of $537. These increases were partially offset by decreases in audit related costs of $165 and receivable collections of $275 from SAHCO that were reserved for in the allowance for doubtful accounts in a prior period.

Asset impairment charges were $1,080 for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 and related to the write-down of assets in the Company’s digital radiography systems business. The asset impairment charges of $1,080 included $696 of capitalized software still in development and $384 of other assets.

Other (Income) Expense

Net interest income was $6,827 for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 compared to $9,532 for the nine months ended April 30, 2007. The decrease was due primarily to lower invested cash balances and lower effective interest rates due primarily to the Company’s $60,000 Common Stock repurchase in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007.

During the nine months ended April 30, 2007, the Company recorded an equity loss in unconsolidated affiliates of $587 related to losses at PDS during that period.

Net other income was $1,090 and $194 for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Other income in the nine months ended April 30, 2008 consisted primarily of $555 the Company received from its insurance company as

reimbursement for legal fees incurred in relation to an indemnification matter related to the Company’s sale of Camtronics Medical Systems, Ltd. in November 2005. Other income for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 consisted primarily of a gain of $205 from the sale of AnaSky Limited assets. The other income in the nine months ended April 30, 2008 also included foreign currency exchange gains realized by the Company’s Canadian and Danish subsidiaries, while the nine months ended April 30, 2007 included foreign currency exchange losses, as the U.S. dollar weakened against foreign currencies.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rates were provisions of 32.1% and 18.0% for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The effective income tax rate is based upon the estimated income for the year, the composition of the income in different countries, and adjustments, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods for the potential tax consequences, benefits, resolutions of tax audits, or other tax contingencies. For the nine months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, the effective tax rate varied from the statutory tax rate primarily as a result of the mix of income attributable to foreign versus domestic jurisdictions. The Company’s aggregate income tax rate in foreign jurisdictions is lower than its income tax rate in the United States. During the nine months ended April 30, 2008, the Company recognized discrete tax benefits of $406 resulting primarily from the change in tax rate on certain foreign deferred tax assets, the tax benefit from employees’ disqualifying dispositions of qualified incentive stock options, and currency gains on the capitalization of loans to a subsidiary located outside of the United States. During the nine months ended April 30, 2007, the Company recognized discrete net tax benefits of $663 resulting primarily from employees’ disqualifying dispositions of qualified incentive stock options and the reinstatement of the research and experimentation credit as of January 1, 2006.

Net Income and Diluted Net Income per Share

Net income and diluted net income per share for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

 

     Nine Months Ended

% of net revenue

     6.8 %     2.8 %

Diluted net income per share

   $ 1.52     $ 0.50  

Net income was $20,214 for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 compared to $7,058 for the nine months ended April 30, 2007. Basic and diluted net income per share were $1.54 and $1.52, respectively, for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 as compared to basic and diluted net income per share of $0.51 and $0.50, respectively, for the nine months ended April 30, 2007. The increase in net income as well as basic and diluted net income per share for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 as compared to the nine months ended April 30, 2007 was due primarily to asset impairment charges on a pre-tax basis of $9,705 related to the write-down of the Company’s digital radiography systems business in the nine months ended April 30, 2007. Also contributing to the increase was improved product gross margin due to higher sales volumes in Medical Imaging Products, which was offset by an increase in operating expenses due to increased bonus and profit sharing costs as well as share-based compensation expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $176,011 and $228,545 at April 30, 2008 and July 31, 2007, respectively. Working capital was $272,673 and $300,114 at April 30, 2008 and July 31, 2007, respectively. The Company’s balance sheet reflected a decrease in the current ratio to 4.7 to 1 at April 30, 2008 as compared to 5.6 to 1 at July 31, 2007, due primarily to the acquisition of Copley during the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 for an estimated purchase price, net of cash acquired, of $74,380.

Liquidity has been provided principally through funds provided from operations with short-term deposits and marketable securities to provide additional sources of cash. The Company has reviewed its investments in short-term marketable securities and does not have exposure in sub-prime and auction backed securities.

The Company faces exposure to financial market risks, including adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates, and changes in interest rates. These exposures can 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 consolidated balance sheets of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and trade payables approximate fair value at April 30, 2008, due to the short maturities of these instruments.

 

26


Table of Contents

Cash equivalents totaled $156,134 at April 30, 2008 and consisted entirely of highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the time of purchase. Held-to-maturity marketable securities having maturities from the time of purchase in excess of three months totaled $19,877 at April 30, 2008 and are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $32,237 and $23,693 for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The cash flows generated from operating activities for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 were due primarily to net income of $20,214, depreciation and amortization of $9,988, share-based compensation expense of $2,291, and a decrease in deferred income taxes of $2,625, partially offset by a net change in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquired business of $1,966. The net change in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquired business, for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 was due primarily to an increase in inventories of $7,639 and decreases in accrued liabilities and advanced payments and deferred revenue of $3,095 and $1,967, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $3,519, an increase in accounts payable of $3,033, and an increase in accrued income taxes of $2,678.

The decrease in deferred income taxes of $2,625 was due primarily to the disposal of assets impaired in a prior period.

The increase in inventories during the nine months ended April 30, 2008 of $7,639 was due primarily to the foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation for B-K Medical and increased production volumes.

The decrease in accrued liabilities during the nine months ended April 30, 2008 of $3,095 was due primarily to severance and sales tax payments as well as a decline in loss accruals for engineering project loss accruals, accrued payroll costs, accrued profit sharing costs. The decrease in advance payments and deferred revenue during the nine months ended April 30, 2008 of $1,967 was due primarily to the recognition of approximately $2,148 in revenue, which was deferred as of July 31, 2007, as the final element of a contract without fair value was delivered in February 2008. The decrease in accounts receivable during the nine months ended April 30, 2008 of $3,519 was due primarily to collections in the U.S.

The increase in accounts payable of $3,033 was due primarily to the timing of vendor payments. The increase in accrued income taxes during the nine months ended April 30, 2008 was due primarily to an increase in the tax provision, which has not yet been paid to the tax authorities.

Net cash used for investing activities was $102,185 and $3,303 in the nine months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The cash used for investing activities in the nine months ended April 30, 2008 was due primarily to the purchase of short-term held-to-maturity marketable securities, the acquisition of Copley, net of cash acquired, and capital expenditures of $103,485, $73,304, and $9,712, respectively, partially offset by the maturities of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity marketable securities of $85,608.

Net cash used for financing activities was $1,440 and $1,794 in the nine months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Net cash used for financing activities in the nine months ended April 30, 2008 consisted of $3,996 for dividends paid to stockholders which was partially offset by cash received from the issuance of stock pursuant to the Company’s employee stock option, employee stock purchase, and non-employee director stock plans of $2,310.

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 for at least the next 12 months.

Commitments, Contractual Obligation and Off-Balance Sheets Arrangements

The Company’s contractual obligations at April 30, 2008, 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

As of April 30, 2008, the total liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions under FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, were $7,542 and included in “Other non-current liabilities,” as a result of the Company’s adoption of FIN No. 48. Due to the complexity associated with the Company’s tax uncertainties, it cannot make a reasonably reliable estimate of the period in which it expects to settle the non-current liabilities associated with these uncertain tax positions. Therefore, these amounts have not been included in the contractual obligations table.

The Company currently has approximately $28,300 in revolving credit facilities with various banks available for direct borrowings. As of April 30, 2008, 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, expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Except for the addition of the treatment of acquisitions and changes in valuation of long-lived assets, the Company continues to have the same critical accounting policies and estimates as are described in Item 7, beginning on page 32, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 27, 2007. Those policies and estimates relate to: revenue recognition and accounts receivable; share-based compensation; inventories; concentration of credit risk; warranty reserve; investments 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 third quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Copley. The Company applied the purchase accounting method to account for the business combination, which requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase price to the fair market value of the assets and liabilities purchased, with the excess value, if any, being classified as goodwill. In addition, as described in Note 4 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q, values were assigned to intangible assets for patented and unpatented technologies and customer contracts and related relationships. For those assets with finite lives, useful lives were assigned to those intangibles and they will be amortized over their remaining life. The Company will review the intangible assets and their related useful lives as events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. The Company may conduct more frequent impairment assessments if certain conditions exist, including: a change in the competitive landscape, any internal decisions to pursue new or different technology strategies, a loss of a significant customer, or a significant change in the market place including changes in the prices paid for the Company’s products or changes in the size of the market for the Company’s products.

An impairment results if the carrying value of the asset exceeds the sum of the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and disposition of the asset. The amount of the impairment would be determined by comparing the carrying value to the fair value of the asset. Fair value is generally determined by calculating the present value of the estimated future cash flows using an appropriate discount rate. The projection of the future cash flows and the selection of a discount rate require significant management judgment. The key variables that management must estimate include sales volume, prices, inflation, product costs, capital expenditures, and sales and marketing costs. For developed technology (patents and other technology) that have not been deployed, the Company also must estimate the likelihood of both pursuing a particular strategy and the level of expected market adoption.

The Company will perform annual reviews in its first quarter of each fiscal year for impairment of goodwill or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Goodwill may be considered to be impaired if the Company determines that the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. Assessing the impairment of goodwill requires the Company to make assumptions and judgments regarding the fair value of the net assets of its reporting units. The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units using a combination of valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows and cash earnings multiples, and compares the values to its estimated overall market capitalization.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“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. In February 2008, the FASB issued a Staff Position that has (1) partially deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for one year for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities and (2) removed certain leasing transactions from the scope of SFAS No. 157. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

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, which will be the Company’s fiscal year ending July 31, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. SFAS No. 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to record all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective acquisition date fair values, changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, changes the recognition and measurement of contingent consideration, and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS No. 141(R) also requires additional disclosure of information surrounding a business combination, such that users of the entity’s financial statements can fully understand the nature and financial impact of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, which will be the Company’s fiscal year ending July 31, 2010. An entity may not apply it before that date. The provisions of SFAS No. 141(R) will only impact the Company if the Company is a party to a business combination after July 31, 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51”. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. This statement is effective for the Company beginning August 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 160 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. This statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position since it does not have any derivative instruments or hedging activity.

 

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 amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are classified as held to maturity. Cash and cash equivalents not required for working capital purposes are placed in short-term investments of government agency discounted notes. Total interest income for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2008 was $1,618 and $6,844, 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, 2008. 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, 2008, 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, 2008 that have 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 the Company, or that the Company currently deems immaterial, may also impair the Company’s business. Any of these could have a material and negative effect on the Company’s 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 had four customers, as set forth in the table below, who individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net product and engineering revenue during the three or nine months ended April 30, 2008 or 2007.

 

     Three Months Ended
April 30,
    Nine Months Ended
April 30,
 
     2008     2007     2008     2007  

Customer 1

   15 %   16 %   18 %   18 %

Customer 2

   10 %   13 %   11 %   11 %

Customer 3

   ( *)   10 %   ( *)   ( *)

Customer 4

   ( *)   10 %   ( *)   ( *)

Note (*): Net product and engineering revenue were less than 10% during this period.

The Company’s ten largest customers as a group accounted for 67% and 69% of the Company’s net product and engineering revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 68% and 68% for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. One customer, which accounted for less than 10% of net product and engineering revenue for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, accounted for 16% of net accounts receivable at April 30, 2008.

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 were 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, 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 or 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 stockholder value, or divert management attention.

On April 14, 2008, the Company acquired Copley, and as part of the Company’s business strategy, the Company might consummate additional 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 or underestimated 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.

A delay in anticipated sales could 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. Hence, the 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.

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 depends 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.

The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the creation of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security have increased financial expectations that may not materialize.

The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the subsequent creation of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security have created increased interest in the Company’s security and inspection systems. However, the level of demand for the Company’s products is not predictable and may vary over time. The Company does not know what solutions will continue to be adopted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as a result of terrorism and whether its products will continue to be a part of such solutions. Additionally, should the Company’s products be considered as a part of the future security solutions, it is unclear what the level of purchases might be and how quickly funding to purchase the Company’s products might be made available. These factors could adversely impact the Company and create unpredictability in revenues and operating results.

The Company is exposed to risks associated with international operations and markets.

The Company markets and sells products in international markets, and has established offices and subsidiaries in Denmark, Germany, Italy, and Canada. Revenues from international operations accounted for 23% and 18% of total revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 21% and 20% for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. From its U.S. operations, the Company also ships directly to customers in Europe and Asia, for which shipments accounted for 31% and 24% of total revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 32% and 28% for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. There are inherent risks in transacting business internationally, including:

 

   

changes in applicable laws and regulatory requirements;

 

   

export and import restrictions;

 

   

export controls relating to technology;

 

   

tariffs and other trade barriers;

 

   

intellectual property laws that offer less protection for the Company’s proprietary rights;

 

   

difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;

 

   

longer payment cycles;

 

   

problems in collecting accounts receivable;

 

   

political instability;

 

   

fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

 

   

expatriation controls; and

 

   

potential adverse tax consequences.

There can be no assurance that one or more of these factors will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future international activities and, consequently, on its business and results of operations.

If the Company becomes subject to intellectual property infringement claims, it could incur significant expenses and could be prevented from selling specific products.

The Company might become subject to claims that it infringes the intellectual property rights of others in the future. The Company cannot ensure that, if made, these claims will not be successful. Any claim of infringement could cause the Company to incur substantial costs defending against the claim even if the claim is invalid, and could distract management from other business. Any judgment against the Company could require substantial payment in damages and could also include an injunction or other court order that could prevent the Company from offering certain products.

If operators of the Company’s security and inspection systems fail to detect weapons, explosives or other devises that are used to commit a terrorist act, the Company could be exposed to product liability and related claims for which it might not have adequate insurance coverage.

The Company’s business exposes it to potential product liability risks that are inherent in the development, manufacturing, sale and service of security inspection systems. The Company’s customers use its security and inspection systems to help them detect items that could be used in performing terrorist acts or other crimes. The training, reliability and competence of the customer’s operator are crucial to the detection of suspicious items. In addition, the Company’s security and inspection systems are not designed to work under all circumstances. The Company tests the reliability of its security and inspection systems during both their development and manufacturing phases. The Company also performs such tests if it is requested to perform installation, warranty, or post-warranty servicing. However, the Company’s security inspection systems are advanced mechanical and electronic devices and therefore could malfunction.

As a result of the September 11, 2001 and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing attacks, and the potential for future attacks, product liability insurance coverage for such threats is extremely difficult to obtain. It is very likely that, should the Company be found liable following a major act of terrorism, the insurance coverage it currently has in place would not fully cover the claims for damages.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The following table contains information about purchases by the Company of its equity securities during the three months ended April 30, 2008. All of the shares shown as purchased in the table below were surrendered by employees of the Company in order to meet tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards.

Item 5. Other Information

On June 4, 2008, the Company announced a voluntary retirement program for all of its U.S. employees, under which the retirements are expected to be substantially completed by the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. Employees to be eligible to participate in this program must meet certain defined criteria. The Company is also offering this program to certain employees who were notified in May 2008 that they would be terminated by July 31, 2008 since these employees would have been eligible to participate in this voluntary retirement program. The Company has estimated the total costs under this program, which will include severance and personnel related costs, to be approximately $6.0 million if all eligible employees volunteer for the program. At this time, the Company cannot estimate the number of employees who will volunteer for this program. Total costs for the other employee terminations during the fourth quarter ended July 31, 2008 are estimated to range between $900 and $1,000 and will be recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008.
