LANDAUER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - June 30, 2002
(Unaudited)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements reflect the financial position of Landauer, Inc. and
Subsidiaries ("Landauer" or "the Company") as of June 30, 2002 and
September 30, 2001, and the consolidated results of operations for the
three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and
consolidated cash flows for the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and
2001. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to
present fairly the consolidated financial position of Landauer as of
June 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001, and the consolidated results of
operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2002
and 2001, and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and
2001.
The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in
Note 1 to the Company's financial statements in the 2001 Landauer Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year
presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the results of
operations or financial position.
The results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods
ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for the full year.
(2) CASH DIVIDENDS

(4) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share computations have been made in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." Basic earnings per share
were computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per
share were computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number
of shares of common stock that would have been outstanding assuming
dilution during each period.
The following table presents the weighted average number of shares of
common stock for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2002 and
2001 (000's):

(5) ACQUISITION
On April 2, 2002, the Company signed an acquisition agreement to
merge its European operations with Laboratoire Central des Industries
Electriques (LCIE), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bureau Veritas, a
professional services company involved in quality, health and safety, and
environmental management. Under the agreement, Landauer exchanged its U.K.
radiation monitoring business with annual revenues of approximately
$1,500,000 and its technologies for a 51% controlling interest in the new
company, named LCIE-Landauer. LCIE contributed its radiation monitoring
business which has current annual revenues of more than $3,000,000, all of
which is located in France. LCIE-Landauer has its headquarters and
laboratory at the current LCIE location in Fontenay-aux-Roses, a Paris
suburb, and will continue to serve the UK customers from Oxford, England.
Additionally, as part of the formation of the new entity on April 2, 2002,
LCIE-Landauer purchased the Philips France radiation monitoring business
for $877,000; this Philips business unit had annual revenues of
approximately $800,000 in 2001.
7
Under the terms of the acquisition agreements, LCIE may, in the fifth
and sixth year of the venture, require Landauer to purchase its interest in
LCIE-Landauer at a price that is a multiple of EBITDA for the trailing four
quarters. Additionally, Landauer shall have the option to purchase LCIE's
interest in the seventh year of the venture on the same terms as LCIE's
"Put" option. A change in control provision, as defined, may accelerate
the respective Put and Call options and provides for premiums and discounts
in the event such options are exercised as the result of a change in
control.
The accounting for the exchange of a business for a controlling
interest in another company is addressed in EITF Issue 86-29, "Nonmonetary
Transactions: Magnitude of Boot and Exceptions to the Use of Fair Value"
and EITF issue 90-13, "Accounting for Simultaneous Common Control Mergers".
Under this accounting, the Company is deemed to have sold 49% of its U.K.
radiation monitoring business in exchange for a 51% controlling interest in
LCIE-Landauer, the purchase consideration being the fair value of the net
assets received in the exchange. This exchange resulted in a $786,000 gain
to the Company, or $511,000 net of income taxes. The acquisition of the
controlling interest in LCIE-Landauer, has been accounted for as a purchase
and the operating results are consolidated from April 1, 2002 the date of
the acquisition.
(6) RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On October 1, 2001 the Company adopted SFAS No. 142 which requires
that goodwill and certain intangible assets no longer be amortized to
earnings, but be reviewed periodically for impairment. For acquisitions
completed prior to June 30, 2001, the amortization of goodwill and certain
intangible assets has ceased beginning in fiscal year 2002. The adoption
of this standard has reduced the amount of amortization expense related to
goodwill. On an annual basis, the Company expects that amortization
expense will be reduced from $558,000 in 2001 to approximately $261,000 in
2002. In total, diluted EPS is expected to increase by approximately $0.02
in 2002 due to the reduction in amortization expense.
The provisions of SFAS 142 that pertain to impairment of intangible
assets have superceded the impairment related provisions included in
SFAS 121, beginning in fiscal year 2002. Under SFAS 142, the impairment
review of goodwill and other intangible assets that are not being amortized
must be based generally on fair values, instead of projected future
undiscounted cash flows. The fair values of these assets were calculated
based on discounted cash flow analyses. As a result of initially applying
the new impairment provisions of SFAS 142 no impairment loss was required.
Goodwill and other intangible assets at June 30, 2002 consisted of the
following (in $000's):
Gross Accumulated Net
Amount Amortization Amount

to be amortized:

Estimated annual aggregate amortization expense related to intangible
assets will be approximately $261,000 for FY 2002 and $337,000 for each of
the next five years.
In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". This
provisions of the statement are required to be applied starting with fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2002. This Statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting obligations associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The
adoption of SFAS 143 has no impact on the Company's financial statements.
In August 2001 the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No.144 defines
impairment for long-lived assets and provides guidance on the measurement
of asset impairments. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 has no impact on the
Company's financial statements. In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No.145,
Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB
Statement No.13, and Technical Corrections. SFAS No. 145 eliminates the
exception to applying APB Opinion 30 to all gains and losses related to
extinguishments of debt. The adoption of SFAS No. 145 has no impact on the
Company's financial statements. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146,
"Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." This
statement requires that a liability for costs associated with an exit or
disposal activity be recognized when the costs are incurred rather than at
the date of a commitment to the exit or disposal plan. This statement will
be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities that are initiated
after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 has no impact on the
Company's financial statements.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
Landauer's cash flow from operating activities for the nine months
ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 amounted to $11,107,000 and $12,217,000,
respectively. Acquisitions of property, plant and equipment amounted to
$3,102,000 and $2,073,000, respectively, for nine months ended June 30,
2002 and 2001. The Company's financing activities were limited to payments
of cash dividends, offset by foreign dividends received from Nagase-
Landauer, Ltd., our Japanese joint venture.
The Company has no long-term liabilities cash flows are generally
sufficient to support investing activities. Capital expenditures for the
balance of fiscal 2002 are expected to amount to approximately $1,500,000
principally for the acquisition of equipment to support the Company's Luxel
product line, introduction of new products, the development of supporting
software systems, and computer hardware. The Company anticipates that
funds for these capital improvements will be provided from operations.
The Company presently maintains external sources of liquidity in the
form of a $5 million line of credit with its bank. In the opinion of
management, resources are adequate for projected operations and capital
spending programs, as well as continuation of the regular cash dividend
program.
Landauer requires limited working capital for its operations since
many of its customers are invoiced for services in advance. Such advance
billings amounted to $12,524,000 and $10,890,000, respectively, as of June
30, 2002 and September 30, 2001, are included in deferred contract revenue
and are stated net of services rendered through the respective consolidated
balance sheet dates. Customers invoiced under such a deferred contract
arrangement represent smaller accounts and comprise approximately 60% of
the numbers of accounts served and 37% of the Company's revenues. While
these amounts included in deferred contract revenue represent more than
one-half of current liabilities, such amounts generally do not represent a
cash requirement.
The services provided by the Company to its customers are ongoing and
are of a subscription nature. As such, revenues are recognized in the
periods in which such services are rendered irrespective of whether
invoiced in advance or in arrears. All customers are invoiced in accordance
with the Company's standard terms, with payment due thirty days from date
of invoice. Inasmuch as the majority of the Company's revenues are subject
to health care industry reimbursement cycles, the average days of sales
outstanding range from 43 to 79 days.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 were 14.7% higher
compared with the same quarter a year ago. Revenue growth was primarily
attributable to consolidation of LCIE-Landauer's operations, higher pricing
for the Company's products and services, and to a lesser degree, increased
unit demand. Cost of revenues for the current quarter was 17.9% higher than
for the same period a year ago. Higher costs resulted from the increased
business activity associated with the expanded European operations of LCIE-
Landauer, as well as generally higher levels in some categories of cost of
revenues. The rate of gross margin was lower at 63.1% compared with 64.1% a
year ago.
10
Selling, general and administrative expenses were higher in the third
quarter as a percent of revenues at 23.9% versus 23.0% for the third
quarter of fiscal 2001 as a result of the higher costs from the expanded
European operations and higher employee benefit costs, particularly for
medical claims. As a result, operating income for the third quarter of 2002
was 39.3% of revenues compared to 41.2% for the same period last year. The
Company also recognized a $786,000 pre-tax gain arising from the exchange
of a portion of its UK business for a controlling interest in LCIE-
Landauer, the Company's new operating unit in France and the United
Kingdom. Income before taxes and minority interest was 46.3% of the
revenues for the quarter just ended compared to 42.2% for the third fiscal
quarter of 2001. Exclusive of the gain on exchange, income before taxes and
minority interest was 41.0% of the revenues for the quarter just ended.
The effective tax rate for the Company during the third quarter of
fiscal 2002 was 36.5% compared with 36.1% for the third quarter of fiscal
2001. Resulting net income of $4,234,000 for the third fiscal quarter of
2002 increased $755,000, or 21.7%, compared with $3,479,000 reported in
fiscal 2001. Net income increased 7.0%, exclusive of the gain. Diluted
income per share for the current quarter was $0.48 versus $0.40 for fiscal
2001. Diluted income per share would have been $0.42, exclusive of the
gain on exchange of assets.
Revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2002, were 9.6% higher
compared with the first nine months of fiscal 2001. The increase in
revenues was attributable to consolidation of LCIE-Landauer's operations,
higher pricing for the Company's products and services, and slightly higher
unit demand. Gross margins for the first half of fiscal 2002 were 64.9% of
revenues, a slight improvement from 64.0% a year ago.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were 23.6% of revenues
for the first nine months of fiscal 2002 compared to 23.4% for the same
period of fiscal 2001. Operating income for the first nine months of fiscal
2002 was 41.3% of revenues compared with 40.6% for the same period last
year. Income before income taxes and minority interest was 44.6% of
revenues for the nine months just ended compared to 41.9% of revenues for
the same period in fiscal 2001. Income before income taxes and minority
interest was 42.8% of revenues for the nine months just ended, exclusive of
the gain on exchange of assets.
The effective tax rate for the Company during the first nine months
of fiscal 2002 was 37.1% compared with 36.3% a year ago. Resulting net
income of $12,007,000 for the first nine months of 2002 exceeded earnings
of $10,525,000 reported for the same period in fiscal 2001. Diluted income
per share for the first nine months of fiscal 2002 was $ 1.36, compared to
$1.21 in the nine months fiscal half of 2001. Diluted income per share
would have been $1.30 exclusive of the gain.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On October 1, 2001 the Company adopted SFAS No. 142 which requires
that goodwill and certain intangible assets no longer be amortized to
earnings, but be reviewed periodically for impairment. For acquisitions
completed prior to June 30, 2001, the amortization of goodwill and certain

2002. In total, diluted EPS is expected to increase by approximately $0.02
in 2002 due to the reduction in amortization expense.
The provisions of SFAS 142 that pertain to impairment of intangible
assets have superceded the impairment related provisions included in
SFAS 121, beginning in fiscal year 2002. Under SFAS 142, the impairment
review of goodwill and other intangible assets that are not being amortized
must be based generally on fair values, instead of projected future
undiscounted cash flows. The fair values of these assets were calculated
based on discounted cash flow analyses. As a result of initially applying
the new impairment provisions of SFAS 142 no impairment loss was required.

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". This
provisions of the statement are required to be applied starting with fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2002. This Statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting obligations associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The
adoption of SFAS 143 has no impact on the Company's financial statements.
In August 2001 the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No.144 defines
impairment for long-lived assets and provides guidance on the measurement
of asset impairments. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 has no impact on the
Company's financial statements. In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No.145,
Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB
Statement No.13, and Technical Corrections. SFAS No. 145 eliminates the
exception to applying APB Opinion 30 to all gains and losses related to
extinguishments of debt. The adoption of SFAS No. 145 has no impact on the
Company's financial statements. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146,
"Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." This
statement requires that a liability for costs associated with an exit or
disposal activity be recognized when the costs are incurred rather than at
the date of a commitment to the exit or disposal plan. This statement will
be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities that are initiated
after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 has no impact on the
Company's financial statements.
