Summary
Datascope Corp. is a diversified medical device company that manufactures
and markets proprietary products for clinical health care markets in
interventional cardiology and radiology, cardiovascular and vascular surgery,
anesthesiology, emergency medicine and critical care. We have four product
lines that are aggregated into two reportable segments, Cardiac Assist /
Monitoring Products and Interventional Products / Vascular Grafts. Operating
data for each segment for the last three fiscal years is set forth in footnote
9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Our products are distributed
worldwide by direct sales employees and independent distributors. Originally
organized as a New York corporation in 1964, we reincorporated in Delaware in
1989.
Below is a summary of our four product lines:
o Cardiac Assist. We are a leader and pioneer in intra-aortic balloon (IAB)
counterpulsation therapy and products including IAB pumps and catheters.
The intra-aortic balloon system is used for the treatment of high-risk
cardiac conditions resulting from ischemic heart disease and heart
failure. Patients experiencing acute coronary syndromes such as acute
myocardial infarction, cardiogenic shock and unstable angina may require
IAB therapy to support and stabilize their cardiac status. IAB therapy is
also used for high-risk patients who require revascularization procedures
such as percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) or coronary artery
bypass procedures including both on-pump and off-pump techniques.
o Patient Monitoring. We manufacture and market a broad line of
physiological monitors designed to provide for patient safety and
management of patient care. We offer a full line of monitoring solutions
from hand-held pulse oximetry devices to acute care monitors designed to
meet the demands of today's rapidly changing health care environment.
These monitors are used in operating rooms, emergency departments,
critical care units, post-anesthesia care units and recovery rooms,
intensive care units and labor and delivery rooms.
o Interventional Products (formerly Collagen Products). Our products are
used to seal arterial puncture wounds after angiography and other
interventional procedures relying upon access to the body via the femoral
artery. We manufacture and sell the VasoSeal line of vascular sealing
devices. We recently changed the name of our Collagen Products Division
to the Interventional Products Division. The new
3
name reflects our objective to broaden the division's product portfolio
to include new products for interventional cardiology and interventional
radiology that are not collagen based.
o Vascular Grafts. Our InterVascular subsidiary markets and sells a
proprietary line of knitted and woven polyester vascular grafts and
patches for reconstructive vascular and cardiovascular surgery. Vascular
grafts are used to replace diseased arteries. InterVascular also
distributes peripheral vascular stents. Stents are used to treat vascular
disease non-surgically.
The following table shows the percentage of sales by major product line as a
percentage of total sales for the last three years:

Glossary: We have prepared this short glossary to help you understand our
product lines.
Angioplasty is the reconstruction of blood vessels, usually damaged by
atherosclerosis. If the arteries in question are in the heart, a coronary
bypass operation may be recommended. However, the nonsurgical method of
balloon angioplasty is often employed, especially when only one vessel is
blocked.
Balloon Angioplasty, also known as percutaneous transluminal coronary
angioplasty (PTCA), is a nonsurgical method of clearing coronary and other
arteries blocked by atherosclerotic plaque, fibrous and fatty deposits on the
walls of arteries. A catheter with a balloon-like tip is threaded up from the
arm or groin through the artery until it reaches the blocked area. The balloon
is then inflated, flattening the plaque and increasing the diameter of the
blood vessel opening. The arterial passage is thus widened or dilated. Balloon
angioplasty has evolved to include direct coronary stenting in greater than
70% of angioplasty procedures to prevent recoil or abrupt closure of the
artery post dilatation.
Hemostasis is the stopping of bleeding, either by physiological properties of
coagulation and vasoconstriction or by surgical or mechanical means.
Below is a more detailed description of our product lines:
Cardiac Assist. We are a leader and pioneer in intra-aortic balloon
counterpulsation therapy and products. Counterpulsation therapy is used to
support and stabilize heart function. This therapy increases the heart's
output and the supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart's coronary arteries
while reducing the heart muscle's workload and its oxygen demand. Intra-aortic
balloons and pumps are used in counterpulsation therapy for high-risk cardiac
patients suffering from ischemic heart disease and heart failure. These
products and therapy may be used before or during coronary artery bypass
grafting or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty procedures for
hemodynamic support. We produce a line of disposable intra-aortic balloon
catheters that serve as the pumping device within the patient's aorta. We
introduced the first balloon catheter capable of percutaneous insertion. This
innovation eliminated the need for surgical insertion. As a result, the market
for cardiac assist products expanded from open-heart surgery to interventional
cardiology. We continue to advance our cardiac assist technology and to
introduce new products.
Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumps
We manufacture and market the following intra-aortic balloon pumps, or
IABPs:
In August 2003, we launched our newest pump, the CS100. The CS100 with
IntelliSync(TM), a new proprietary software program, represents a major
technological leap in the field of Intra-Aortic Balloon Counterpulsation. This
new pump matches intelligence, automation and speed of delivery in a
sophisticated algorithm that will adapt automatically to changing conditions.
The result is continuous, consistent support for the patient.

Intra-Aortic Balloon Catheters
We manufacture a broad line of disposable intra-aortic balloon catheters for
use with intra-aortic balloon pumps in support of counterpulsation therapy.
In February 2002, we launched our Fidelity(TM) intra-aortic balloon
catheter. We believe that Fidelity provides superior performance to all other
8 French ("Fr.") catheters in the market. Fidelity also offers the largest
central lumen (0.030") for consistent, clear arterial waveforms which results
in better delivery of counterpulsation therapy for the patient and easier
patient management for the healthcare provider. A new polymer design enables
Fidelity to insert easily and navigate tortuous anatomies. Once inserted,
physicians have the longest insertable length available on the market to
ensure optimal balloon placement. Fidelity is available in 25cc, 34cc and 40cc
balloon volumes.
The Profile(TM) 8 Fr., launched in July 1998, was the first true 8 Fr.
intra-aortic balloon catheter. The folded balloon membrane diameter is the
same as the diameter of the catheter itself. Prior to introduction of the
Profile 8 Fr., there was not an intra-aortic balloon catheter available that
was small enough to fit through a standard 8 Fr. (2.64 mm) sheath used for the
angioplasty/stent procedure. Use of the Profile 8 Fr. reduces possible
vascular complications when compared to larger catheters. The Profile 8 Fr.
can also be inserted without a sheath. This combination of sheathless
insertion and smaller sized catheter (8 Fr.) reduces the cross sectional area
occupied by the catheter in the artery. This reduction results in less
obstruction to blood flow around the outside of the catheter and a potential
reduction in ischemic complications.
In addition, we manufacture a complete line of intra-aortic balloon
catheters to accommodate counterpulsation therapy in both the adult and
pediatric population. We are also the manufacturer of catheters available for
pediatric patients in the 2.5cc, 5cc, 7cc, 12cc and 20cc volumes. Our 9.5 Fr.
intra-aortic balloon catheters are available in 25cc, 34cc and 40cc volumes. A
50cc volume is also available for patients who are taller than 6 feet.

customers to demonstrate and measure the clinical benefits of the
therapy. We believe that we are the only supplier offering a
comprehensive, centralized repository of global IABP information
Markets, Sales and Competition. Our cardiac assist products are sold
primarily to major hospitals with open-heart surgery and balloon angioplasty
facilities and community hospitals with cardiac catheterization laboratories.
Our cardiac assist products have been sold, to a growing degree, to the
broader range of community hospitals, where counterpulsation therapy is used
for temporary support to the patient's heart prior to transport to a major
hospital center where definitive procedures, such as balloon angioplasty or
open-heart surgery, can be conducted. Our main competitor for cardiac assist
products is Arrow International, Inc.
Patient Monitoring. We manufacture and market a broad line of physiological
monitors and other related products designed to provide for patient safety and
management of patient care. Our monitors are capable of continuous and
simultaneous measurement of many different vital signs. Our monitors are used
in operating rooms, emergency rooms, critical care units, post-anesthesia care
units and recovery rooms, intensive care units and labor and delivery rooms.

Markets, Sales and Competition. Our patient monitors are used in hospital
operating rooms, emergency rooms, critical care units, post-anesthesia care
units and recovery rooms, intensive care units and labor and delivery rooms.
The Passport 2 allows us to further penetrate into our primary patient
monitoring markets and also to enter new markets, such as the neonatal
intensive care unit. The Spectrum enables us to reach into markets such as
intensive care units, operating rooms and coronary care units. The Trio will
enable us to target markets such as subacute care facilities, surgery centers,
GI/Endoscopy and general patient areas. The PatientNet Central Station network
has allowed us to take advantage of the recent FCC decision to open a
dedicated hospital telemetry bandwidth operating in the 608-614MHz range.
A number of companies, some of which are substantially larger than us,
manufacture and market products that compete with our patient monitoring
products. Our major competitors are Philips Medical, GE Medical Systems, Welch
Allyn and Datex-Ohmeda.
Interventional Products. Our vascular sealing products assure fast and
reliable arterial hemostasis after common percutaneous cardiology and
radiology procedures, such as balloon angioplasty, arterial stenting and
diagnostic angiography.
We manufacture and market vascular sealing devices under four brand names,
VasoSeal(R) VHD, VasoSeal ES(R), VasoSeal VHD Low Profile and VasoSeal
Elite(TM). These products rapidly seal femoral arterial punctures. Unlike many
other vascular sealing products, VasoSeal works extravascularly, meaning that
the product works by sealing the femoral artery on the outside of the artery.
With VasoSeal, doctors have an effective alternative to the many competitive
sealing products that produce sealing by placing (and leaving behind)
permanent foreign objects, such as sutures inside patient arteries. VasoSeal
vascular sealing devices provide for reduced time to hemostasis of the
arterial puncture wound, reduced time to patient ambulation and
8
discharge following certain percutaneous procedures, cost savings to the
hospital and increased patient satisfaction versus manual/mechanical methods
of arterial hemostasis.
VasoSeal VHD
We manufacture and market the VasoSeal VHD extravascular sealing device, the
first device of its kind to be approved in the United States. Prior to the
introduction of VasoSeal VHD in 1995, the only way to seal femoral arterial
puncture wounds was to apply significant pressure by hand over the arterial
puncture site and to wait for the blood in the tract to clot naturally. This
arterial sealing process is called "manual compression." Manual compression
can take 20 minutes or more to accomplish even in the best of circumstances.
But sometimes, if a patient has been administered anti-clotting drugs prior to
their percutaneous procedure, the patient has to wait many minutes, sometimes
even hours, for the effect of the anti-clotting drugs used during their
procedure to diminish before manual compression can be successfully
administered on their puncture site.
The concept behind the VasoSeal device is simple. The VasoSeal VHD comes
with a measuring device that tells the doctor exactly where a patient's
arterial puncture is located below the skin surface. The doctor then uses the
VasoSeal VHD to deploy a soft collagen plug directly over the puncture site on
the outside of the artery. VasoSeal VHD produces hemostasis in two ways.
First, the collagen plug effects a mechanical barrier stopping blood from
flowing up the puncture tract. Second, the collagen in the device's plug
interacts with the patient's own blood to stimulate the formation of fibrin
stimulating the body's own, natural clotting process. By design, and unlike
other vascular sealing devices on the market, VasoSeal VHD is designed not to
leave a foreign object inside of a patient's artery after deployment. In
addition, unlike manual compression, VasoSeal VHD permits the immediate
removal of the procedural sheath used in many cardiology and radiology
procedures, even when anti-clotting drugs have been administered to a patient.
VasoSeal ES
The VasoSeal ES device, introduced in Europe in 1998 and in the United
States in 1999, retains the proprietary, extravascular technology of our
original VasoSeal VHD. However, VasoSeal ES features a "one-size-fits-all" (5
to 8 French) design that eliminates the physician's need to measure skin-to-
artery distance and the hospital's need to stock multiple sizes of the device.
These features are made possible by VasoSeal ES's unique locator technology
that is capable of easily and precisely locating the arterial puncture site
below the skin's surface.
VasoSeal ES is the first vascular sealing device to have been approved by
the FDA for use in patients with peripheral vascular disease. As many as 30%
of the total patient population undergoing percutaneous cardiology and
radiology procedures have peripheral vascular disease.
VasoSeal VHD Low Profile
VasoSeal VHD Low Profile is a smaller version of VasoSeal VHD and is
available in five kit sizes. This device meets the needs of many hospitals who
have been increasingly using smaller diameter access sheaths in their
percutaneous procedures to minimize vascular trauma. VasoSeal VHD Low Profile
is approved for sealing 5 French or smaller puncture sites.
VasoSeal Elite
VasoSeal Elite is the newest VasoSeal product. VasoSeal Elite utilizes a
unique, proprietary sponge collagen technology to produce hemostasis. VasoSeal
Elite's new sponge collagen is deployed into a patient's tissue tract, just
above the femoral artery, in a compressed form. Upon exposure to blood, the
compressed sponge collagen plug expands in seconds to produce an effective
blood blockade above the femoral artery.
VasoSeal Elite uses the same one-size-fits-all location system as VasoSeal
ES. However, the body design of VasoSeal Elite is substantially different than
VasoSeal ES's. The VasoSeal Elite body design was developed after years of
studying the ergonomics of the earlier generation VasoSeal devices, and the
different ways physicians deploy these devices. From this research, we
developed the unique and effective body design for VasoSeal Elite. The new
VasoSeal Elite body was designed specifically to minimize variations in
physician deployment methods, variations that could compromise the precise
placement of VasoSeal's collagen plug. The new body design of
9
VasoSeal Elite maximizes the device's potential for producing rapid, secure
and consistent mechanical hemostasis.
VasoSeal Elite provides physicians with the same rapid and reliable
mechanical closure capabilities of the many competitive closure devices that
leave foreign objects behind in patient arteries. Yet, like the rest of the
VasoSeal line, VasoSeal Elite achieves its goals while protecting and
preserving the common femoral artery from unnecessary intrusions and left-
behind artifacts.
VasoSeal Elite is designed to serve as the only vascular sealing device a
hospital should need to stock. It can be utilized for both diagnostic and
interventional procedures. It can be used with a broad variety of 5 to 8 Fr.
sheaths. Like VasoSeal ES, VasoSeal Elite has been proven safe and effective
in diverse patient populations, including those with peripheral vascular
disease.
Advantages of VasoSeal
----------------------
VasoSeal devices offer the following advantages:
o Reduces time to ambulation. Certain patients can be ambulated much faster
than is possible with conventional manual or mechanical compression
methods
o Faster ambulation can result in significant potential savings for
hospitals because patients can be moved relatively quickly after their
percutaneous catheterization procedures to lower cost areas in the
hospital. Allows the majority of diagnostic angiography patients to be
ambulated safely within 1 hour after the procedure, compared with 4 to 6
hours under standard clinical practice, which involves manual compression
for vascular closure
o Early ambulation also lowers the use of human and material resources in
the hospital which results in improved patient management and cost
minimization
o Provides increased comfort and satisfaction for patients. Many patients
receiving diagnostic or interventional procedures in hospitals are in
poor health, are elderly and/or have other medical problems which make it
difficult for them to remain motionless or to lie flat for long periods
of time. The pressure devices (i.e. sand bags and manual compression),
still predominately used by hospitals to produce vascular sealing, cause
further discomfort to these patients
o Is approved for use on patients diagnosed with peripheral vascular
disease. As a result, VasoSeal can be used on many more patients than
other competitive devices
o Approved for deployment by healthcare professionals other than physicians
(i.e. nurses and technicians), providing a still more cost-effective use
of hospital resources
o Early discharge of certain patients provides the facility with
efficiencies throughout the patient care-path. Fewer patient recovery
hours equates to better bed utilization, more efficient staffing and
fewer overall resources required, providing another cost saving component
of the VasoSeal product use
Clinical Education and Support
------------------------------
We offer health care providers the following services in connection with the
use of our VasoSeal devices:
o On-site training and education of all personnel involved with product
deployment and post-deployment patient care to assure successful device
outcome
o 24 hour, 7 days a week clinical support
o Comprehensive educational materials and programs for staff
o Patient information guides to educate the patient on appropriate post-
care regimens
o Consultative services to help facilities identify and maximize the goals
and objectives of vascular sealing

milestones in connection with our VasoSeal product line:
o A new VasoSeal device, VasoSeal Elite, was approved by the FDA in October
2002
o A CE Mark for VasoSeal Elite was received in May 2002
o VasoSeal VHD Low Profile was approved by the FDA in June 2002
10
o In Japan, VasoSeal VHD was cleared for reimbursement for certain
interventional procedures by the Ministry of Health in January 2000
o United States shipments of the VasoSeal ES device began in August 1999
o The VasoSeal ES device was approved by the FDA in December 1998
o In 1998, we began marketing the VasoSeal ES device in Germany, France and
the United Kingdom
o We received the CE mark for the VasoSeal VHD in 1997 and the VasoSeal ES
device in 1998
o In 1994, we received regulatory approval to market the VasoSeal VHD in
Japan
o During calendar years 1993 through 1995, we received regulatory approvals
to market the VasoSeal VHD in Canada, Australia, Italy, Spain and the
Netherlands
o Pre-Market Approval (PMA) for the VasoSeal VHD was issued by the FDA in
September 1995
VasoSeal devices have received the following additional approvals from the
FDA:
o Approval received in April 2002 for a new VasoSeal VHD and ES deployment
method, the "Modified Hold Technique," which offered the promise of
improved VasoSeal results
o Approval received in August 1999 to market the VasoSeal VHD and ES for
use in patients with peripheral vascular disease
o Approval received in September 1997 for deployment of VasoSeal by nurses
and technicians
o Approval received in April 1997 for VasoSeal use after stent implantation
o Approval received in December 1996 for use of VasoSeal in radiology
procedures
o Approval received in August 1996 for early ambulation after VasoSeal use
in diagnostic angiography and delayed sheath pull interventional patients
Markets, Sales and Competition: Our VasoSeal line of products is sold to
both interventional cardiology and radiology labs, both in hospitals and in
independent diagnostic facilities.
A number of companies, some of which are substantially larger than us,
manufacture and market products that compete with the VasoSeal VHD, VasoSeal
VHD Low Profile, VasoSeal ES and VasoSeal Elite devices. Our competitors are
Abbott Laboratories (Perclose and Chito-Seal), St. Jude Medical (Angio-Seal),
Vascular Solutions, Inc. (Duett), Sutura, Inc. (Super Stitch), Marine Polymer
Technologies (Syvek Patch), and Scion Technologies (Clo-Sur Pad).
Vascular Grafts. Our InterVascular Inc. subsidiary manufactures and
distributes a proprietary line of knitted and woven polyester vascular grafts
and patches for reconstructive vascular and cardiovascular surgery. Vascular
grafts are used to replace and bypass diseased arteries. InterVascular also
began distribution of peripheral stents in Europe in late fiscal 2001.
InterVascular began selling products through its dedicated direct sales
organization in the United States in January 2002.
Our vascular graft products and their significant features are:
InterGard(R) Knitted Products
o Collagen-coated graft for use in most vascular applications for
reconstruction of abdominal and peripheral arteries
InterGard(R) Woven Products
o Designed primarily for use in thoracic aortic repair and open-heart
surgery
InterGard(R) Silver
o World's only anti-microbial vascular graft
o Designed to prevent post-operative infection of the graft, which occurs
in between 2% and 5% of cases, by using the broad spectrum, anti-
infective properties of silver, which is released from the surface of the
graft onto surrounding tissues following implantation
o Prosthetic graft infections are associated with high morbidity, including
amputation and high mortality
o Infection typically lengthens the hospital stay of a patient by up to 50
days, which results in a significant increase in cost
11
InterGard(R) UltraThin
o The thinnest knitted polyester collagen coated graft on the market giving
it exceptional handling and suturing characteristics
o Designed specifically for use in the replacement of peripheral arteries
InterGard(R) Heparin
o A heparin bonded collagen coated graft for replacement and bypass of
peripheral arteries
o Occlusion of a peripheral graft following surgery is the most frequent
cause of graft failure
o InterGard Heparin is designed to address the issue of occlusion and
improve long term patency of the graft by allowing the antithrombogenic
and antiproliferative properties of unfractionated heparin to be
available locally on the graft surface for several weeks following
implantation
o Use of InterGard Heparin grafts has demonstrated 25% better patency and
resulted in fewer amputations compared to ePTFE, a synthetic material
frequently used for peripheral artery bypass or repair
HemaCarotid Patches
o Collagen-coated patches used for repair of carotid and peripheral
arteries
o HemaCarotid patches also manufactured in the UltraThin configuration
Significant Developments
------------------------
In the last few years, we have expanded our vascular graft product line and
achieved the following regulatory and marketing milestones:
o InterGard Heparin UltraThin graft was introduced in the United States in
fiscal 2003
o Aortic Arch and HemaBridge (specialty grafts for thoracic aorta repair
and replacement) received FDA clearance in March 2002
o InterGard Heparin received FDA clearance in January 2001
o InterGard UltraThin was introduced in the United States during fiscal
1999
o InterGard Silver received the CE mark in April 1999, for commercial sale
throughout the European Union
o InterGard Woven Products were introduced in the United States during
fiscal 1999
o InterGard was approved in both the United States and Japan in fiscal 1998
Markets, Sales and Competition. Our vascular graft products are sold to
vascular and cardiothoracic surgeons.
A number of companies, some of which are substantially larger than us,
manufacture and market products that compete with our vascular graft products.
Our major competitors are Boston Scientific, Vascutek, W.L. Gore and Impra, a
subsidiary of C.R. Bard, Inc.
Life Science Research Products. In 1998, we entered the life science
research market by forming a new subsidiary, Genisphere Inc. Genisphere has
developed reagents based on a new, proprietary class of DNA molecules known as
3DNA(R), or Three Dimensional Nucleic Acid. A reagent is a biologically or
chemically active substance. Genisphere's reagents are used to detect and
measure other biological substances. Our 3DNA-based reagents have been shown
to increase the sensitivity of nucleic acid detection and may also provide
substantially greater sensitivity for the detection of proteins than was
previously possible using conventional assays. Our first products were probes
designed for use in conventional blot assays. Genisphere had an agreement with
Fisher Scientific LLC that provided Fisher with the non-exclusive right to
distribute only Genisphere's first generation blot products in the United
States and Puerto Rico. Genisphere terminated its distribution agreement with
Fisher effective in September 2000 because we are no longer actively promoting
the first generation blot products.
Based on our new market entry strategy, our life science research products
will be designed primarily for use in newly developed kinds of detection
assays. In these new markets, adoption of new technologies, such as 3DNA
technology, occurs much faster and potential customers are more highly
concentrated and easier to reach, when compared to the mature blot market,
which was our initial target market. Our first products for these new markets
are detection kits designed to improve the reliability and sensitivity of
microarray experiments.
12
A number of companies, some of which are substantially larger than us,
manufacture and market products that compete with our life science research
products. Our major competitors include Amersham Biosciences, PerkinElmer Life
Sciences Inc. and Agilent Technologies.
Research and Development
We invested approximately $29.0 million in 2003, $25.7 million in 2002 and
$24.4 million in 2001 on research and development of new products and the
improvement of our existing products. We have established relationships with
several teaching hospitals for the purpose of clinically evaluating our new
products. We also have consulting arrangements with physicians and scientists
in the areas of research, product development and clinical evaluation.
Our Marketing and Sales Organization
Our products are sold throughout the world through our own direct sales
organization and through independent distributors. Our worldwide direct sales
organization employs approximately 420 people and consists of sales
representatives, sales managers, clinical education specialists and sales
support personnel. We have a worldwide clinical education staff, most of whom
are critical care and catheterization lab nurses. They conduct seminars and
provide in-service training to nurses and physicians on a continuing basis.
Our sales are broadly based and no customer accounts for more than 10% of our
total sales.
We provide service and maintenance to purchasers of our products under
warranty. After the warranty expires, we provide service and maintenance on a
contract basis. We employ service representatives in the United States and
Europe and maintain service facilities in the United States, the Netherlands,
France, Germany and the United Kingdom. We conduct regional service seminars
throughout the United States for our customers and their biomedical engineers
and service technicians.
International sales as a percentage of our total sales were 32% in 2003, 30%
in 2002 and 29% in 2001. We have subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, France,
Germany, Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands. Because a portion of our
international sales are made in foreign currencies, we bear the risk of
adverse changes in exchange rates for such sales. Please see Notes 1, 2 and 9
to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information with
respect to our international operations and foreign currency exposures.
Competition
We believe that customers, primarily hospitals and other medical
institutions, choose among competing products on the basis of product
performance, features, price and service. In general, we believe price has
become an important factor in hospital purchasing decisions because of
pressure to cut costs. These pressures on hospitals result from federal and
state regulations that limit reimbursement for services provided to Medicare
and Medicaid patients. Many companies, some of which are substantially larger
than us, are engaged in manufacturing competing products. We have identified
our major competitors in the above sections which described our product lines.
Seasonality
Typically, our net sales are lower in the first and second quarters and
higher in the third and fourth quarters. Lower net sales in the first quarter
result from patient tendencies to defer, if possible, hospital procedures
during the summer months and from the seasonality of the U.S. and European
markets, where summer vacation schedules normally result in fewer hospital
procedures. Lower net sales in the second quarter result from holidays in the
United States and other markets and patient tendencies to defer, if possible,
hospital procedures during these holiday seasons. Independent distributors may
randomly place large orders that can distort the net sales pattern just
described. In addition, new product introductions and regulatory approvals can
impact the typical sales patterns.
13
Suppliers
Our products are made of components which we manufacture or which are
usually available from existing and alternate sources of supply. Some of our
products are manufactured through agreements with unaffiliated companies. We
purchase certain components from single or preferred sources of supply. Our
use of single or preferred sources of supply increases our exposure to price
increases and production delays. In addition, certain of our suppliers have
been contemplating, and in a few cases have begun, reducing or eliminating
sales of their products to medical device manufacturers like us. We are not
able to predict whether or not additional suppliers will withhold their
products from medical device manufacturers, including us.
Patents
We hold a number of United States and foreign patents. In addition, we also
have filed a number of patent applications that are currently pending. We do
not believe the expiration or invalidity of any of our patents would have a
material adverse effect on our business as currently conducted.
Employees
At the end of fiscal 2003, we had approximately 1,300 employees worldwide.
We believe our relationship with our employees is good.
Orders Backlog
At June 30, 2003, we had a total backlog of unshipped customer orders of
$20.7 million, primarily for patient monitoring products. Substantially all of
the backlog will be delivered in fiscal 2004. The total backlog at June 30,
2002 was $15.5 million.
Regulation
Our medical devices are subject to regulation by the FDA. In some cases,
they are also subject to regulation by state and foreign governments. The
Medical Device Amendment of 1976 and the Safe Medical Device Act of 1990,
which are amendments to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act of 1938,
require manufacturers of medical devices to comply with certain controls that
regulate the composition, labeling, testing, manufacturing and distribution of
medical devices. FDA regulations known as "Current Good Manufacturing
Practices for Medical Devices" provide standards for the design, manufacture,
packages, labels, storage, installation and service of medical devices. Our
manufacturing and assembling facilities are subject to routine FDA
inspections. The FDA can also conduct investigations and evaluations of our
products at its own initiative or in response to customer complaints or
reports of malfunctions. The FDA also has the authority to require
manufacturers to recall or correct marketed products which it believes do not
comply with the requirements of these laws.
Under the Act, all medical devices are classified as Class I, Class II or
Class III devices. In addition to the above requirements, Class II devices
must comply with pre-market notification, or 510(k), regulations and with
performance standards or special controls established by the FDA. Subject to
certain exceptions, a Class III device must receive pre-market approval from
the FDA before it can be commercially distributed in the United States. Our
principal products are designated as Class II and Class III devices.
We also receive inquiries from the FDA and other agencies. Sometimes, we may
disagree with positions of members of the staffs of those agencies. To date,
the resolutions of such disagreements with the staffs of the FDA and other
agencies have not resulted in material cost to us.
We are also subject to certain federal, state and local environmental
regulations. The cost of complying with these regulations has not been, and we
do not expect them to be, material to our operations.
We are also affected by laws and regulations concerning the reimbursement of
our customers' costs incurred in purchasing our medical devices and products.
Healthcare providers that purchase our medical devices and products generally
rely on third-party payors, including the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS) which administers Medicaid and Medicare, and other types of
insurance programs, to reimburse all or part of the cost of such devices. The
laws and regulations in this area are constantly changing, and we are unable
to predict
14
whether, and the extent to which, we may be affected in the future by
legislative or regulatory developments relating to the reimbursement of our
medical devices and products.
On August 1, 2000, CMS established a product-specific reimbursement system
for devices used in the hospital outpatient setting that provided for
reimbursement for VasoSeal ES and, as of October 1, 2000, for VasoSeal VHD.
Effective April 1, 2001, CMS replaced the product-specific reimbursement
system with a new system that provided reimbursement for specific types of
devices, including vascular closure devices. VasoSeal VHD and ES devices were
eligible for reimbursement under this new system as well. Effective April 1,
2002, CMS significantly reduced the reimbursement rate for all vascular
closure devices. These special payments ended as of January 1, 2003.
Health Care Reform
We believe that concerns about potential health care reform legislation have
slowed the domestic sales of medical devices generally. Our management cannot
predict at this time what impact, if any, the adoption by the United States
Congress of health care reform legislation will have on our business.
Available Information
Our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current
reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports are available, without

We also lease office space in England, France, Italy, Belgium and Germany.
The facility in Vaals, the Netherlands, that was used in the manufacturing,
warehousing and research and development for collagen products was closed in
May 2002 and offered for sale. We believe that our facilities and equipment
are in good working condition and are adequate for our needs.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
We are subject, in the ordinary course of our business, to product liability
litigation. We believe we have meritorious defenses in all material pending
lawsuits. We also believe that we maintain adequate insurance against any
potential liability. We receive comments and recommendations with respect to
our products from the staff of the FDA and from other agencies on an on-going
basis. We may or may not agree with these comments and recommendations.
However, we are not a party to any formal regulatory administrative
proceedings.
16
On July 21, 1999, we instituted patent infringement litigation relating to a
vascular sealing method against Vascular Solutions, Inc. in the United States
District Court, District of Minnesota. In that litigation our complaint
alleged that the manufacture, use and/or sale of Vascular Solutions' Duett
device infringed our United States Patent No. 5,725,498. At the end of
November 2002, the parties settled the matter. Pursuant to the settlement,
Vascular Solutions paid us $3.75 million and we granted Vascular Solutions a
limited, non-exclusive patent license.
In December 2000, an action was filed in New York Supreme Court against us
and our board of directors entitled David B. Shaev v. Lawrence Saper, Alan B.
Abramson, David Altschiller, Joseph Grayzel, M.D., George Heller, Arno Nash
and Datascope Corp. The complaint alleges, inter alia, common law claims for
breach of the duty of loyalty and breach of fiduciary duty for approving
allegedly excessive compensation to defendant Saper. By agreement, the time to
respond to this complaint has been extended. The action is pending.
In August 2001, an action was filed in United States District Court for
the District of New Jersey against us and our board of directors entitled
David B. Shaev v. Lawrence Saper, Alan B. Abramson, David Altschiller, Joseph
Grayzel, M.D., George Heller, Arno Nash and Datascope Corp. The Complaint
alleges, inter alia, that our October 27, 2000 proxy statement contained
materially false and misleading statements concerning, among other things, the
deductibility for federal income tax purposes of Mr. Saper's bonus
compensation, that it omitted material facts regarding the bonuses payable and
the number of persons eligible under the Management Incentive Plan, and that
it was coercive insofar as it stated that we might grant Mr. Saper a bonus if
the Plan were not approved by the stockholders. The Complaint also alleges
that the defendant directors breached their duties of good faith and loyalty
and were negligent in connection with these matters, and by approving
allegedly excessive payments to Mr. Saper. On April 1, 2002, the District
Court granted our motion to dismiss the action, holding that the proxy
statement did not contain materially false or misleading statements. The Court
declined to exercise its supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining state
law claims and dismissed those claims without prejudice. Plaintiff appealed
from the order of dismissal to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. In a
decision filed on February 21, 2003, the Third Circuit vacated the District
Court's order of dismissal and remanded the case for further proceedings. In
so doing, the Third Circuit noted that for purposes of the appeal it was
required to accept as true all of the plaintiff's allegations and held that
the plaintiff stated a cause of action on the grounds, among other things,
that the proxy statement failed to accurately disclose certain matters
relating to management incentive plans under which Mr. Saper received
compensation. The Third Circuit also found that dismissal of the complaint for
failure by plaintiff to make demand upon the Board of Directors prior to
bringing a derivative action was not appropriate at this preliminary stage of
the case. Following remand, the parties have begun initial discovery
proceedings in the district court.
On January 28, 2003, Sanmina-SCI, one of our suppliers, filed a complaint
in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, claiming that we
are obligated to purchase excess inventory of Sanmina-SCI. Sanmina-SCI seeks
damages of $1.2 million, plus material markup, carrying costs and interest. In
response, we filed an answer denying the allegations of the complaint and
counterclaimed for damages we suffered in the amount of $2.3 million for
Sanmina-SCI's breach of its obligation to us. We believe we have meritorious
defenses and a meritorious counterclaim and intend to proceed vigorously in
this matter.
In September 1999, we terminated a distributor agreement with Biomed S.A.
The agreement provided for the distribution of our cardiac products in Spain.
In addition, we also started to direct market our cardiac products in Spain.
In July 2000, Biomed brought an action against us in Spain seeking to have the
Spanish Court declare Biomed an exclusive distributor of our products. In
October 2000, the Spanish Court ruled that Biomed was not an exclusive
distributor of our products in Spain. The matter was settled when we decided
to reinstate Biomed as a distributor of our cardiac products in Spain. Final
papers were filed in June 2003 with the Spanish Court in order to dismiss the
suit.
The Public Prosecutor's Office in Darmstadt, Germany is conducting an
investigation of one current and one former employee of one of our German
subsidiaries. The investigation concerns marketing practices under which
benefits were provided to customers of the subsidiary. We are cooperating with
the investigation. The German subsidiary has annual revenues of under $5
million. We cannot predict at this time what the results of the investigation
may be or whether it could have a material adverse effect on us or our
business.

(1) Net earnings and earnings per share in fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001
shown above include the following:
Fiscal 2003 Gain on legal settlement of $1.9 million after tax or $0.13
per diluted share.
Fiscal 2002 Restructuring charges of $9.5 million after tax or $0.63 per
diluted share.
Fiscal 2001 Gain on sale of underutilized facility of $356 thousand after
tax or $0.02 per diluted share.
Sales of the Cardiac Assist / Monitoring Products segment in fiscal 2003
increased 7% to $254.9 million from $237.5 million last year.
Cardiac Assist
Cardiac assist product sales increased 5% to $118.4 million in fiscal 2003.
The increase is due to stronger worldwide sales of intra-aortic balloon pumps,
a modest increase in sales of balloon (IAB) catheters and the favorable effect
of foreign exchange translation. The Company's distributor in Japan reduced
purchases of IAB catheters in the first half of the fiscal year in order to
reduce inventory and resumed its
21
normal purchasing pattern in the second half of the year. Sales of the new,
premium-priced FidelityTM 8 Fr. IAB catheter continued to grow, accounting for
61% of total IAB catheter sales in the fourth quarter.
Patient Monitoring
Sales of patient monitoring products rose 9% to $136.5 million in fiscal
2003. The sales increase reflects strong growth of several product lines,
including Accutorr Plus(R) noninvasive blood pressure monitors, wireless
central monitoring systems, Masimo SET(R)(1) pulse oximetry sensors and the
AnestarTM anesthesia delivery system. Favorable foreign exchange translation
also contributed to sales growth.
During the third quarter, the Company positioned itself for renewed growth
in the bedside monitoring market segment with the introduction of two new
monitors, SpectrumTM and TrioTM. The Spectrum monitor is a battery-powered,
portable bedside monitor for the high-end, critical care market, a $650
million market segment. The Trio is a compact and highly portable monitor with
applications in a wide variety of hospital and outpatient settings. It is
aimed at price sensitive markets such as surgery centers, general hospital
applications and international markets. The Trio should enable Datascope to
expand its share of an estimated $80 million low-end monitor market. Shipments
of Spectrum in the U.S. and to international markets began in the third
quarter. Shipments of Trio to international markets began in the third
quarter, and U.S. sales are expected to begin in the first half of fiscal 2004
when FDA market clearance is expected. Sales of bedside monitors increased in
the fourth quarter following the introduction of these two new products.
Sales of the Interventional Products / Vascular Grafts segment decreased 9%
to $72.1 million compared to $78.9 million last year.
Interventional Products
Sales of VasoSeal(R) sealing devices decreased 21% to $41.2 million from
$52.0 million last year due to continued strong competition and to the
production problem that arose shortly after manufacturing of VasoSeal EliteTM
began in the third quarter, which interrupted the launch of this next-
generation product. This production problem was resolved and shipments of
VasoSeal Elite devices, which incorporate a new, proprietary collagen
hemostat, resumed in June.
Sales of collagen hemostats were $0.8 million compared to $1.4 million last
year with the decrease due to reduced sales in international markets.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2004 we changed the name of our Collagen
Products Division, which manufactures and markets the VasoSeal devices, to the
Interventional Products Division. The new name reflects our objective to
broaden the product portfolio offered by the division to include new products
for interventional cardiology and interventional radiology that are not
collagen-based. The first of these new products, an innovative pressure-
assisted dressing for post-hemostasis wound management, is expected to be
launched in the first half of the new fiscal year.
Vascular Grafts
Sales of InterVascular, Inc.'s products increased 18% to $30.1 million,
primarily reflecting favorable foreign exchange translation, a full year of
direct sales in the U.S., and increased sales of the InterGard1 Silver anti-
microbial graft in Europe. Sales in the U.S. were also higher than last year
because the Company's former distributor, whose termination became effective
at the end of December 2001, placed no orders in the second quarter last year.
We are continuing to seek FDA approval to sell InterGard Silver grafts in the
United States.

22
Genisphere
Sales of Genisphere products were $1.3 million in fiscal 2003 compared to
$1.0 million in the prior year, as Genisphere continued to pursue its
marketing strategy, to target major academic institutions and the research and
development department of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.
The weaker U.S. dollar compared to the Euro and the British Pound increased
consolidated sales by approximately $6.8 million in fiscal 2003 compared to
fiscal 2002.
Costs and Expenses
The gross profit percentage of 57.9% for fiscal 2003 was unchanged from last
year. An improved gross margin in the Cardiac Assist / Monitoring Products
segment as a result of cost reduction programs and higher average selling
prices was offset by the effect of a less favorable sales mix, the write-off
of obsolete inventory related to the MR Monitor line and costs associated with
the VasoSeal Elite production problem. In addition, for fiscal 2003, the gross
margin was favorably impacted by an insurance settlement of $500 thousand
recorded in the first quarter related to unusable collagen inventory, which
was reserved for in June 1997 with a charge to cost of sales. Datascope filed
a claim under its property insurance policy for the unusable collagen
inventory. When the Company received the insurance settlement of $500
thousand, in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the settlement was accounted
for as a reduction to cost of sales, consistent with the accounting treatment
for the related inventory reserve.
We continued our companywide focus on new product development and
improvements of existing products in fiscal 2003. Spending on research and
development (R&D) reflects investment in new product development programs,
sustaining R&D on existing products, regulatory compliance and clinical
evaluations. R&D expenses increased 13% to $29.0 million in fiscal 2003,
equivalent to 8.8% of sales compared to $25.7 million, or 8.1% of sales last
year.
R&D expenses for the Cardiac Assist / Monitoring Products segment increased
10% to $18.9 million in fiscal 2003 compared to $17.2 million last year, with
the increase primarily due to new product development projects in Patient
Monitoring.
R&D expenses for the Interventional Products / Vascular Grafts segment
increased 19% to $7.8 million in fiscal 2003 compared to $6.6 million last
year, with the increase primarily due to new product development projects in
InterVascular.
The balance of consolidated R&D is in Corporate and Other and amounted to
$2.3 million in fiscal 2003 compared to $1.9 million for the comparable period
last year.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 4% to $130.9
million in fiscal 2003, or 39.9% of sales compared to $126.1 million, or 39.7%
of sales last year.
SG&A expenses for the Cardiac Assist / Monitoring Products segment increased
3% to $86.2 million in fiscal 2003, primarily attributable to filling open
positions, costs associated with the increased sales and the impact of foreign
exchange translation.
SG&A expenses for the Interventional Products / Vascular Grafts segment
decreased 2% to $47.1 million in fiscal 2003. The decrease was primarily
attributable to lower selling and marketing expenses in Interventional
Products, partially offset by increased selling expenses in InterVascular due
to a full year of U.S. direct field force expenses in fiscal 2003 compared to
a half year in fiscal 2002 and the impact of foreign exchange translation.
Segment SG&A expenses include fixed corporate G&A charges that are offset in
Corporate and Other.
The weaker U.S. dollar compared to the Euro and the British Pound increased
total SG&A expenses by approximately $4.7 million in fiscal 2003.
23
Gain on Legal Settlement
In July 1999, we instituted patent infringement litigation relating to a
vascular sealing method against Vascular Solutions, Inc. in the United States
District Court, District of Minnesota. In that litigation our complaint
alleged that the manufacture, use and/or sale of Vascular Solutions' Duett
device infringed our United States Patent No. 5,725,498. In November 2002, the
parties settled the matter. Pursuant to the settlement, Vascular Solutions
paid us $3.75 million and we granted Vascular Solutions a limited, non-
exclusive patent license. In the second quarter of fiscal 2003, we recorded a
pretax gain on the settlement, net of related legal expenses, of $3 million,
or $1.9 million after tax, equivalent to $0.13 per diluted share.
Restructuring Charges
In fiscal 2002, we recorded restructuring charges totaling $11.5 million.
The restructuring charges consisted of the following.
o severance expenses, asset write-downs and contractual obligations related
to the closure of the VasoSeal manufacturing and R&D facility in Vaals,
the Netherlands, and severance expenses for U.S. employees.
o asset write-downs, severance expenses and contractual and incremental
obligations associated with exiting the coronary stent sales business in
Europe, including the resulting impairment of our investments in AMG and
QualiMed.
o closure of an unprofitable Cardiac Assist direct sales operation in a
European country.
o workforce reductions in Patient Monitoring.
The workforce reductions totaled 151 employees or 11% of our worldwide
employment. The restructuring programs were completed in fiscal 2003.
Interest Income
Interest income was $1.6 million in fiscal 2003 compared to $1.9 million
last year, with the decrease primarily the result of a decline in the average
yield from 4.5% to 3.2%, partially offset by a higher average portfolio
balance ($49.2 million vs. $38.6 million).
Income Taxes
In fiscal 2003, the consolidated effective tax rate was 32.5% compared to
37.0% last year. The consolidated effective tax rate for fiscal 2002 was
significantly impacted by expenses related to the restructuring programs in
the first and second quarters which were not deductible for tax purposes,
primarily in international businesses. The effect on the consolidated tax rate
of the gain on legal settlement in fiscal 2003 and the restructuring charge in
fiscal 2002 was 0.5% and 6.7%, respectively. The remaining increase in the
consolidated effective tax rate in fiscal 2003 was primarily attributable to
an increase in state income tax rates.
Net Earnings
Net earnings were $23.3 million or $1.57 per diluted share in fiscal 2003
compared to $13.9 million, or $0.92 per diluted share last year. The increased
earnings in fiscal 2003 primarily reflects an increased gross margin from
higher sales in all product lines, except VasoSeal, the gain on legal
settlement ($1.9 million after-tax), and the negative impact on earnings last
year of the restructuring charges ($9.5 million after-tax), partially offset
by higher R&D and SG&A expenses, as discussed above.
Foreign Currency
Due to the global nature of our operations, we are subject to the exposures
that arise from foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Our objective in managing
our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is to minimize net earnings
volatility associated with foreign exchange rate changes. We enter into
foreign
24
currency forward exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency transactions
which are primarily related to certain receivables denominated in foreign
currencies. Our hedging activities do not subject us to exchange rate risk
because gains and losses on these contracts offset losses and gains on the
liabilities and transactions being hedged. A portion of the net foreign
transaction gain or loss is reported in our statement of consolidated earnings
in cost of sales and the balance in other income and expense. We do not use
derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
As of June 30, 2003, we had a notional amount of $7.2 million of foreign
exchange forward contracts outstanding, all of which were in Euros and British
Pounds. The foreign exchange forward contracts generally have maturities that
do not exceed 12 months and require us to exchange foreign currencies for U.S.
dollars at maturity, at rates agreed to when the contract is signed.
Comparison of Results--Fiscal 2002 vs. Fiscal 2001
Sales
Sales of the Cardiac Assist / Monitoring Products segment in fiscal 2002
increased 3% to $237.5 million from $229.7 million in 2001.
Cardiac Assist
Sales of Cardiac Assist products were $112.5 million, 5% below fiscal 2001,
primarily due to an exceptionally large number of pumps sold in the previous
year in the U.S. to replace discontinued pump models. The worldwide market for
intra-aortic balloon catheters in fiscal 2002 remained essentially unchanged,
as growth in international markets offset a decline in the U.S. market. Our
strong worldwide market share also remained unchanged. Our new IAB catheter,
the Fidelity 8 Fr., which was introduced in February 2002, continued to be
well received by customers and accounted for 27% of all Datascope balloon
catheter unit sales at the end of the fourth quarter, its first full quarter
of sales. The Fidelity catheter is priced at a modest premium to the Profile
catheter which it is intended to replace.
Patient Monitoring
Patient Monitoring sales rose 13% to $125.0 million for the year. This
strong sales growth was primarily attributable to increased sales in the U.S.
of wireless monitoring systems and a continued sharp gain in sales of Masimo
SET pulse oximetry sensors. The new wireless systems use a protected radio
band allocated for medical use by the Federal Communications Commission.
Increased sales of Passport 2(R) portable monitors and Accutorr Plus
noninvasive blood pressure monitors also contributed to growth.
Sales of the Collagen Products / Vascular Grafts segment were $78.9 million
compared to $82.1 million in 2001.
Collagen Products
Sales of VasoSeal(R) arterial puncture sealing devices decreased 10% to
$52.0 million, reflecting competitive market conditions and loss of market
share. VasoSeal's new deployment technique called Modified Hold Technique, or
MHT, introduced to the U.S. market in mid-April 2002, protects the mechanical
seal created by deployment of VasoSeal's collagen plug, thereby largely
eliminating the previous need for post-procedure hold in order to achieve
hemostasis. The apparent usage of VasoSeal in those hospitals certified to
practice MHT was running higher than usage prior to the introduction of MHT.
Retraining physicians for MHT, however, has proved to be more difficult and
time-consuming than previously anticipated and this has slowed the
introduction of MHT to about 13% of hospitals purchasing VasoSeal at June 30,
2002.
In the fourth quarter of 2002, we received the CE mark for VasoSeal Elite,
the next generation of both the ES and VHD products, which embodies a new,
proprietary hemostat that rapidly expands as it comes into contact with blood.
Also in the fourth quarter, we received FDA approval for VasoSeal Low Profile,
a downsized VHD model aimed at the growing market segment for 4 and 5 Fr.
diagnostic procedures.
25
Sales of collagen hemostats increased 35% to $1.4 million, primarily due to
increased sales in international markets.
Vascular Grafts
Sales of InterVascular, Inc. increased 10% to $25.5 million, reflecting
continued strong demand for the InterGard Silver anti-microbial graft in
international markets and the contribution from sales of peripheral stents.
Total international sales increased 16% for the year. Sales in the U.S.
declined 15% as the result of the termination, effective December 31, 2001, of
InterVascular's former distributor, which placed no orders in the second
quarter upon being notified of its termination. Datascope began selling
InterVascular products through its dedicated direct sales organization in the
U.S. in January 2002.
Genisphere
In fiscal 2002, Genisphere continued to pursue its marketing strategy, to
target major academic institutions and the research and development department
of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and sales remained unchanged at
$1.0 million. Investment spending for the development of the Genisphere
business was approximately $1.5 million in fiscal 2002, compared to $1.0
million in the prior year.
The stronger U.S. dollar compared to major European currencies decreased
consolidated sales by approximately $0.3 million in fiscal 2002 compared to
fiscal 2001.
Costs and Expenses
The gross profit percentage was 57.9% for fiscal 2002 compared to 60.0% in
fiscal 2001. The decreased gross margin was primarily attributable to a
reduced gross margin in the Cardiac Assist / Monitoring Products segment, as a
result of a less favorable sales mix due to increased sales of lower margin
patient monitoring products and decreased sales of higher margin cardiac
assist products. Reduced sales of high margin VasoSeal products also
contributed to the decrease in the gross margin.
We continued our companywide focus on new product development and
improvement of existing products in fiscal 2002. Spending on R&D reflects
investment in new product development programs, regulatory compliance and
clinical evaluations. R&D expenses increased 5% to $25.7 million in fiscal
2002 compared to $24.4 million and increased as a percentage of sales to 8.1%
in fiscal 2002 compared to 7.8% in fiscal 2001.
R&D expenses for the Cardiac Assist / Monitoring Products segment increased
12% to $17.2 million in fiscal 2002, primarily due to the increase in new
product development projects in Patient Monitoring.
R&D expenses for the Collagen Products / Vascular Grafts segment decreased
7% to $6.6 million in fiscal 2002, with the decrease primarily due to lower
expenditures in the Collagen Products business.
The balance of consolidated R&D is in Corporate and Other and amounted to
$1.9 million in fiscal 2002, unchanged from the previous year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 7% to $126.1 million
in fiscal 2002 compared to $117.6 million in fiscal 2001. As a percentage of
sales, SG&A expenses were 39.7% in fiscal 2002 compared to 37.6% in fiscal
2001.
SG&A expenses for the Cardiac Assist / Monitoring Products segment increased
2% to $83.4 million in fiscal 2002. The increase was primarily attributable to
filling open field sales positions and territory expansions in Cardiac Assist
and Patient Monitoring.
SG&A expenses for the Collagen Products / Vascular Grafts segment increased
13% to $48.3 million in fiscal 2002. The increase was primarily attributable
to the investment in building a U.S. direct field sales force for
InterVascular, Inc.
Segment SG&A expenses include fixed corporate G&A charges that are offset in
Corporate and Other.
26
The stronger U.S. dollar compared to major European currencies decreased
total SG&A expenses by approximately $0.2 million in fiscal 2002 compared to
fiscal 2001.
Restructuring Charges
In the first and second quarters of fiscal 2002, we recorded restructuring
charges totaling $l1.5 million. The restructuring programs were committed to
and approved by management and the Board of Directors during such quarters and
the charges were recorded under the guidelines of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 94-3, "Liability Recognition
for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity
(including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)," and Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." For example,
for the involuntary termination benefits, the charge was recorded after all
four of the conditions discussed in EITF 94-3 existed.
The restructuring programs in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 were as
follows:
VasoSeal
Centralization of manufacturing and cost reduction initiatives in the
VasoSeal business, which had experienced pressure on revenue growth due to
competition. As a result of the restructuring, the high cost VasoSeal
manufacturing and R&D facility in Vaals, the Netherlands, was closed and
placed on the market for sale, and the manufacture of VasoSeal products was
centralized in the Mahwah, New Jersey facility by the end of the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2002. The Vaals facility has not yet been sold.
Restructuring charges for this program included asset write-downs resulting
from the restructuring decision, contractual and incremental obligations,
including lease termination costs and legal fees related to the plant closure,
severance expenses for 64 manufacturing and R&D employees in The Netherlands
and severance expenses for 20 U.S. employees.
Cardiac Assist
Reorganization and streamlining of operations in the Cardiac Assist
business, which had experienced pressure on revenue growth. Restructuring
charges represented severance expenses for 26 U.S. employees.
All of the U.S. employees terminated in the first quarter restructuring
programs left the Company by September 30, 2001 and the Vaals employees left
the Company by the end of May 2002. Severance for the Vaals employees was paid
in cash by the end of fiscal 2002. Severance for U.S. employees was paid in
cash by the end of fiscal 2003.
The restructuring programs in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 were as
follows:
Stents
Exiting the coronary stent business in Europe--Based on the highly
competitive stent market and analysis of future economic contributions of the
stent business, during the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company decided
to exit the coronary stent business. In conjunction with this decision, the
Company decided not to exercise its option to purchase the remaining 70% of
the equity of AMG and QualiMed, two private German companies involved in the
distribution, development and manufacture of stent products, and to
discontinue financial support to these businesses. As a consequence of these
decisions and the anticipated resulting impact on the operations of AMG and
QualiMed, we determined that there had been an other than temporary decline in
the value of these investments. As a result of our decision to exit this
business, we adjusted the carrying value of these investments to their
estimated fair value by writing off our 30% equity investment, as well as
existing loans of $370,000, to these two companies. Restructuring charges for
this program included: asset write-downs, severance expenses for 6 European
employees and contractual and incremental obligations, including legal fees
and contract termination costs.
27
Cardiac Assist
Closure of a Cardiac Assist direct sales operation in a European country,
because it was unprofitable. As a result of the restructuring, Cardiac Assist
products in this country are now distributed by a third party. Restructuring
charges primarily included severance expenses for 3 European employees and
non-cancelable lease termination costs.
VasoSeal
Based on continuing intense competition in the vascular closure market, we
implemented additional workforce reductions in the VasoSeal business,
resulting in severance expenses for 18 U.S. employees. The restructuring
charge also included additional severance expense related to the Vaals plant
closure, as a result of a further increase to the existing severance packages
after the terminations were announced.
Patient Monitoring
Cost reduction initiatives in the Patient Monitoring business to realign the
cost structure and streamline operations. Restructuring charges for this
program included severance expenses for 14 U.S. employees.
Substantially all of the terminated employees from the second quarter
restructuring programs left the Company by December 31, 2001.
Interest Income
Interest income for fiscal 2002 was $1.9 million compared to $3.7 million in
fiscal 2001. The decline in interest income in fiscal 2002 was the result of a
lower average portfolio balance (from $60.1 million to $38.6 million) and a
decrease in the average yield from 6.0% to 4.5%.
Other Income
During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, we recorded a pretax gain of $593
thousand, or $0.02 per share after tax, from the sale of an underutilized
facility in Oakland, New Jersey.
Income Taxes
In fiscal 2002 the tax rate was 37.0% compared to 30.9% in fiscal 2001. The
tax rate in fiscal 2002 significantly increased due to expenses related to the
restructuring programs in the first half of the year that were not deductible
for tax purposes, primarily in international businesses.
The tax rate in both years was favorably impacted by the following:
o the tax benefits from the Foreign Sales Corporation (FSC) and the
Extraterritorial Income Exclusion (which replaced the FSC effective
January 1, 2002)
o income exempt from foreign corporate taxes (resulting from the
implementation of an alternative tax planning strategy in fiscal 2001 for
an international manufacturing facility that was tax exempt until January
31, 2000).
Net Earnings
Net earnings were $13.9 million or $0.92 per diluted share in fiscal 2002
compared to $34.2 million or $2.20 per diluted share in fiscal 2001. The
decreased earnings in fiscal 2002 primarily reflects the impact of the
restructuring charges in fiscal 2002 ($9.5 million after-tax), slower sales
growth, a reduced gross margin percentage resulting primarily from reduced
sales of higher margin products and increased SG&A and R&D expenses, as
discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital at June 30, 2003 was $131.4 million compared to $118.2
million at June 30, 2002. The current ratio was 3.8:1 compared to 3.4:1 at
June 30, 2002. The increase in working capital and the
28
current ratio was primarily the result of an increase in cash and short-term
investments ($17.1 million) and a decrease in current liabilities ($3.2
million), partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable ($5.5 million)
and inventories ($2.5 million).
In fiscal 2003, cash provided by operations was $32.7 million compared to
$18.9 million last year. The increase is primarily attributable to the higher
net earnings, higher depreciation and amortization and a decrease in accounts
receivable.
Net cash used in investing activities was $23.3 million, attributable to
purchases of investments of $54.1 million and the purchase of $4.6 million of
property, plant and equipment, offset by $35.7 million for maturities of
investments. Net cash used in financing activities was $3.2 million, due to
$3.0 million dividends paid and stock repurchases of $0.9 million, offset by
stock option activity of $0.7 million.
We purchased about 35,000 of our common shares for approximately $0.9
million during fiscal year 2003.
Working capital at June 30, 2002 was $118.2 million compared to $129.7
million at June 30, 2001. The current ratio was 3.4:1 compared to 3.5:1 at
June 30, 2001. The decrease in working capital was primarily the result of a
decrease in cash and short term investments ($16.8 million), partially offset
by a decrease in current liabilities ($2.6 million).
In fiscal 2002, cash provided by operations was $18.9 million, primarily
attributable to net earnings and depreciation and amortization, partially
offset by increased other assets and a decrease in accounts payable. Net cash
used in investing activities was $7.1 million, primarily attributable to the
purchase of $6.0 million of property, plant and equipment and $1.5 million
equity investments. Net cash used in financing activities was $11.1 million,
attributable to stock repurchases of $9.4 million and $3.0 million dividends
paid, partially offset by $1.3 million cash received from exercise of stock
options.
We purchased about 233,000 of our common shares for approximately $9.4
million during fiscal year 2002.
In fiscal 2001, cash provided by operations was $13.0 million, primarily
attributable to net earnings and depreciation and amortization, partially
offset by increased inventories and accounts receivable. Net cash provided by
investing activities was $8.9 million, primarily attributable to maturities of
marketable securities of $68.3 million, partially offset by purchases of
marketable securities of $49.8 million and the purchase of $10.7 million of
property, plant and equipment. Net cash used in financing activities was $19.8
million, attributable to stock repurchases of $21.8 million and $2.1 million
dividends paid, partially offset by $4.0 million cash received from exercise
of stock options.
We believe our financial resources are sufficient to meet our projected cash
requirements. The moderate rate of current U.S. inflation has not
significantly affected us.
Our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2003 were as follows.

Information Concerning Forward Looking Statements
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of many important
factors. Many of these important factors cannot be predicted or quantified and
are outside our control, including the possibility that FDA clearance will not
be received in time to begin sales of the new Trio monitor in the first half
of fiscal 2004, the new innovative pressure-assisted dressing for post-
hemostasis wound management will
29
not be launched in the first half of fiscal 2004, market conditions may
change, particularly as the result of competitive activity in the cardiac
assist, vascular sealing and other markets served by the Company, the
Company's dependence on certain unaffiliated suppliers (including single
source manufacturers) for Patient Monitoring, Cardiac Assist and VasoSeal
products and the Company's ability to gain market acceptance for new products.
Additional risks are the ability of the Company to successfully introduce new
products, continued demand for the Company's products generally, rapid and
significant changes that characterize the medical device industry and the
ability to continue to respond to such changes, the uncertain timing of
regulatory approvals, as well as other risks detailed in documents filed by us
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
As discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, our
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these
financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amount of revenues and expenses for each period. Management
regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an on-going basis and
adjusts as necessary to accurately reflect current conditions. These estimates
and assumptions are based on current and historical experience, on information
from third party professionals and on various other factors that are believed
to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. Management believes that the following are its critical
accounting policies and estimates:
o Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue and all related costs, including warranty costs,
when title and risk of loss passes to the customer and collectibility of
the sales price is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized for products
shipped FOB shipping point when they leave our premises. Revenue is
recognized for products shipped FOB destination when they reach the
customer. For certain products where we maintain consigned inventory at
customer locations, revenue is recognized at the time we are notified
that the product has been used by the customer. We record estimated sales
returns as a reduction of net sales in the same period that the related
revenue is recognized. Historical experience is used to estimate an
accrual for future returns relating to recorded sales, as well as
estimated warranty costs. Revenue for service repairs and maintenance is
recognized after service has been completed, and service contract revenue
is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. For certain
products, revenue is recognized individually for delivered components
when undelivered components, such as installation, are not essential to
their functionality. Post shipment obligations for training commitments
are considered perfunctory, and sales are recognized when delivered with
provision for incremental costs.
o Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses
resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments.
This allowance is used to state trade receivables at estimated net
realizable value. We rely on prior experience to estimate cash which
ultimately will be collected from the gross receivables balance at
period-end. Such amount cannot be known with certainty at the financial
statement date. We maintain a specific allowance for customer accounts
that will likely not be collectible due to customer liquidity issues. We
also maintain a general allowance for estimated future collection losses
on existing receivables, determined based on historical trends.
o Inventory Valuation
We value our inventories at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined by the "first-in, first-out" (FIFO) method. Inventory reserves
are recorded to report inventory at its estimated fair market value.
A reserve is recorded for inventory specifically identified as slow-
moving or obsolete. In addition, a general reserve is recorded based upon
our historical experience with inventory becoming obsolete due to age,
changes in technology and other factors.
30
o Goodwill Valuation
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of net
assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized and
is subject to the impairment rules of SFAS No. 142, which we adopted in
the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an
annual basis or more frequently if changes in circumstances or the
occurrence of events suggest an impairment may exist. We determine the
fair market value of our reporting units using estimates of projected
cash flows.
o Income Taxes
We operate in multiple tax jurisdictions with different tax rates and
must determine the allocation of income to each of these jurisdictions
based on estimates and assumptions. In the normal course of business, we
will undergo scheduled reviews by taxing authorities regarding the amount
of taxes due. These reviews include questions regarding the timing and
amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax
jurisdictions. Tax reviews frequently require an extended period of time
to resolve and may result in income tax adjustments if changes to the
allocation are required between jurisdictions with different tax rates.
o Pension Plan Actuarial Assumptions
We sponsor defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all of
our employees who meet the applicable eligibility requirements. We use
several actuarial and other statistical factors which attempt to estimate
the ultimate expense and liability related to our pension plans. These
factors include assumptions about discount rate, expected return on plan
assets and rate of future compensation increases. In addition, our
actuarial consultants also utilize subjective assumptions, such as
withdrawal and mortality rates, to estimate these factors. The actuarial
assumptions may differ materially from actual results due to the changing
market and economic conditions, higher or lower withdrawal rates or
longer or shorter life spans of participants. These differences,
depending on their magnitude, could have a significant impact on the
amount of pension expense we record in any particular period.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation--Transition and Disclosure--an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." SFAS No. 148 provides alternative
methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation and amends certain disclosure
requirements of SFAS No. 123. We will continue to account for stock-based
compensation using the intrinsic value method. We have adopted the disclosure
requirements prescribed by SFAS No. 148 as of March 31, 2003.
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Boards issued FASB
Interpretation No. (FIN) 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities."
FIN 46 provides guidance on: (1) the identification of entities for which
control is achieved through means other than through voting rights and (2) how
to determine when and which business enterprise should consolidate such
entities. In addition, FIN 46 requires that any enterprises with a significant
variable interest in these types of entities make additional disclosures in all
financial statements initially issued after January 31, 2003. The adoption of
this Interpretation did not have any impact on our financial statements.
In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 149,
"Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."
SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 is primarily
effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The
adoption of SFAS No. 149 is not expected to have a significant impact on our
financial statements.
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 150,
"Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both
Liabilities and Equity." The Statement improves the
31
accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance,
issuers could account for as equity. The new Statement requires that those
instruments be classified as liabilities in statements of financial position.
Most of the guidance in SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial
instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is
effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June
15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 is not expected to have a significant
impact on our financial statements.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Due to the global nature of our operations, we are subject to the exposures
that arise from foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Our objective in managing
our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is to minimize net earnings
volatility associated with foreign exchange rate changes. We enter into
foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency
transactions which are primarily related to certain intercompany receivables
denominated in foreign currencies. Our hedging activities do not subject us to
exchange rate risk because gains and losses on these contracts offset losses
and gains on the assets, liabilities and transactions being hedged. A portion
of the net foreign transaction gain or loss is reported in our statement of
consolidated earnings in cost of sales and the balance in other income and
expense.
We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. None of
our foreign currency forward exchange contracts are designated as economic
hedges of our net investment in foreign subsidiaries. As a result, no foreign
currency transaction gains or losses were recorded in accumulated other
comprehensive loss for the years ended June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001.
As of June 30, 2003, we had a notional amount of $7.2 million of foreign
exchange forward contracts outstanding, all of which were in Euros and British
Pounds. The foreign exchange forward contracts generally have maturities that
do not exceed 12 months and require us to exchange foreign currencies for
United States dollars at maturity, at rates agreed to when the contract is
signed.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
See Financial Statements following Item 15 of this Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and
Financial Disclosure.
Not applicable.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange
Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms,
and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's
management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management
recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired
control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its
judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and
procedures.
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and the Company's Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the
end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, the
Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that
the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls
over financial reporting or in other factors that would significantly affect
the internal controls over financial reporting subsequent to the date the
Company completed its evaluation.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Datascope Corp.
Montvale, New Jersey
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Datascope
Corp. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2003 and 2002 and
the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity, and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2003. Our
audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at
Item 15 (a) (2). These financial statements and the financial statement
schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial
statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Datascope Corp. and its
subsidiaries as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30,
2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
changed its method of accounting for goodwill to conform to Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 effective July 1, 2001.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Datascope
Corp. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"--which may be referred to as our, us
or we). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments
which have original maturities less than 90 days.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in,
first-out basis, or market.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Additions and improvements are capitalized,
while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Asset and accumulated
depreciation accounts are relieved for dispositions, with resulting gains or
losses reflected in earnings. Depreciation of plant and equipment is provided
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various
assets, or for leasehold improvements, over the term of the lease, if shorter.
Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries have been translated at year-
end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses have been translated at
average exchange rates in effect during the year. Resulting cumulative
translation adjustments have been recorded as a separate component of
stockholders' equity.
Taxes on Income
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences
between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are
measured using the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the
differences are expected to reverse.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue and all related costs, including warranty costs, when
title and risk of loss passes to the customer and collectibility of the sales
price is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized for products shipped FOB
shipping point when they leave our premises. Revenue is recognized for
products shipped FOB destination when they reach the customer. For certain
products where we maintain consigned inventory at customer locations, revenue
is recognized at the time we are notified that the product has been used by
the customer. We record estimated sales returns as a reduction of net sales in
the same period that the related revenue is recognized. Historical experience
is used to estimate an accrual for future returns relating to recorded sales,
as well as estimated warranty costs. Revenue for service repairs and
maintenance is recognized after service has been completed, and service
contract revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. For
certain products, revenue is recognized individually for delivered components
when undelivered components, such as installation, are not essential to their
functionality. Post shipment obligations for training commitments are
considered perfunctory, and sales are recognized when delivered with provision
for incremental costs.
We reflect shipping and handling fees as revenue and shipping and handling
costs as cost of sales.
Earnings Per Share
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
"Earnings per Share," we report basic earnings per share, which is based upon
weighted average common shares outstanding, and diluted earnings per share,
which includes the dilutive effect of stock options outstanding.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies--(Continued)
Stock-Based Compensation
We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation," ("SFAS No. 123") in fiscal 1997 and Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation--Transition and Disclosure--an amendment of FASB Statement No.
123," ("SFAS No. 148") in January 2003. We continue to account for our
employee stock-based awards using the intrinsic value method in accordance
with APB Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Under APB
Opinion No. 25, because the exercise price of our employee stock options
equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no
compensation expense is recognized.
In accordance with SFAS No. 123, and as amended by SFAS No. 148, the fair
value of option grants is estimated on the date of grant using an option-
pricing model. Had the fair value method of accounting been applied to our
stock option plans, pro forma net earnings and earnings per share would have
been reported as the following pro forma amounts:

======= ======= =======
Diluted--pro forma ................................................ $ 1.33 $ 0.49 $ 2.00
======= ======= =======
This pro forma impact only takes into account options granted since July 1,
1995 and is likely to increase in future years as additional options are
granted and amortized ratably over the respective vesting period.
The fair values of option grants were determined using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Impairment of Long Lived Assets
The recoverability of certain long-lived assets is evaluated by an analysis
of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual
disposition of an asset or group of assets compared to its carrying value, and
consideration of other significant events or changes in the business
environment. If we believe an impairment exists, the carrying amount of these
assets is reduced to fair value as defined in
F-7

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies--(Continued)
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."
Other Assets
a. Goodwill--Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of
net assets acquired. Until June 30, 2001, goodwill was amortized using
the straight-line method over periods not exceeding 20 years.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Accounting for Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets," ("SFAS No. 142"). The Company discontinued
amortizing goodwill, which amounted to $716 thousand pre tax, equivalent
to $0.03 per share after tax, in fiscal 2002. Under the provisions of
SFAS No. 142, we perform an annual impairment test on the carrying value
of goodwill. There was no impairment of goodwill based on appropriate
testing and analysis.
b. Capitalized Software Development--In accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed," costs
incurred in the research and development of new software products and
enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred
until technological feasibility has been established. After
technological feasibility is established, any additional software
development costs are capitalized and included in Other Assets. Software
development costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the
remaining estimated economic life of the product, not to exceed 5 years.
c. Internal Use Capitalized Computer Software Costs--We capitalize costs
incurred to develop internal use computer software during the
application development stage, in accordance with the AICPA Statement of
Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed
or Obtained for Internal Use." Internal use computer software costs are
amortized on a straight line basis over the remaining estimated economic
life of the software, not to exceed 5 years. Costs become amortizable as
functionality of the computer software is achieved.
d. Purchased Technology--We capitalize payments for purchased technology
when it is considered probable that the technology will be brought to
market in the near future and the profitability of the product is such
that it can support recovery of the investment. Satisfaction of the
above conditions requires that there be no significant uncertainty about
attaining marketability and the remaining open issues necessary to have
a saleable product are reasonably predictable. Purchased technology is
amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining estimated economic
life of the technology.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
The presentation of certain prior year information has been reclassified to
conform with the current year presentation.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies--(Continued)
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations," ("SFAS No. 143"). SFAS No. 143 establishes accounting standards
for recognition and measurement of legal obligations associated with the
retirement of tangible long-lived assets. This statement was adopted in fiscal
year 2003 and did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.
In July 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities," ("SFAS No. 146"). SFAS No. 146 establishes
guidance on the accounting for costs associated with disposal activities
covered by SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-
Lived Assets," or with exit (or restructuring) activities previously covered
by EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee
Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain
Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 nullifies Issue 94-3 in its
entirety. SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for all costs be recognized
when the liability is incurred and establishes a fair value objective for
initial measurement of the liability. SFAS No. 146 is effective for disposal
activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this statement
did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Boards issued FASB
Interpretation No. ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Entities." FIN 46
provides guidance on: (1) the identification of entities for which control is
achieved through means other than through voting rights and (2) how to
determine when and which business enterprise should consolidate such entities.
In addition, FIN 46 requires that any enterprises with a significant variable
interest in these types of entities make additional disclosures in all
financial statements initially issued after January 31, 2003. The adoption of
this Interpretation did not have any impact on our financial statements.
In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," ("SFAS No. 149"). SFAS No. 149
amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 is primarily
effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The
adoption of SFAS No. 149 is not expected to have a significant impact on the
Company's financial statements.
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 150,
"Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both
Liabilities and Equity." The Statement improves the accounting for certain
financial instruments that, under previous guidance, issuers could account for
as equity. The new Statement requires that those instruments be classified as
liabilities in statements of financial position. Most of the guidance in SFAS
No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified
after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first
interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 is
not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial
statements.
2. Financial Instruments
The fair value of accounts receivable and payable are assumed to equal their
carrying value because of their short maturity. Fair values of short-term
investments are based upon quoted market prices, including accrued interest,
and approximate their carrying values due to their short maturities. Fair
values of long-term investments, which mature in years 2004 to 2013, are also
based upon quoted market prices and include accrued interest. Investments in
preferred stock are carried at cost and evaluated for impairment. We

determined that our investment portfolio will be held-to-maturity and is
therefore carried at amortized cost. Investments in preferred stock are
accounted for under the provision of SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," or carried at cost, as
appropriate.

2. Financial Instruments--(Continued)
Derivative Financial Instruments
We have limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and do not
use them for trading purposes. We utilize foreign currency forward exchange
contracts to mitigate the foreign exchange impact of transaction gains or
losses relating to intercompany receivables. Changes in the fair value of the
derivative financial instruments are recorded in the statement of earnings.
As of June 30, 2003, we had a notional amount of $7.2 million of foreign
exchange forward contracts outstanding, all of which were in Euros and British
Pounds. The foreign exchange forward contracts generally have maturities that
do not exceed 12 months and require that we exchange foreign currencies for
U.S. dollars at maturity, at rates agreed to at inception of the contracts.
The foreign currency forward exchange contracts are with large international
financial institutions.
None of our foreign currency forward exchange contracts are designated as
economic hedges of our net investment in foreign subsidiaries. As a result, no
foreign currency transaction gains or losses were recorded in accumulated
other comprehensive loss for the years ended June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited
due to the large number of customers comprising our customer base. Ongoing
credit evaluations of customers' financial condition are performed. We
maintain reserves for potential credit losses and these losses have not
exceeded our expectations.

for the unremitted earnings of our international subsidiaries. These earnings,
which approximated $52.3 million as of June 30, 2003, are expected, for the
most part, to be permanently reinvested outside of the United States.
Included in the deferred income tax benefit for fiscal 2003 is $1,988 that
has been recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Reconciliations of the U.S. statutory income tax rate to our effective tax

6. Taxes on Income--(Continued)
Deferred taxes arise because of different treatment between financial
statement accounting and tax accounting, known as "temporary differences." We
record the tax effect of these temporary differences as "deferred tax assets"
(generally items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in future
periods) and "deferred tax liabilities" (generally items that we receive a tax
deduction for, but have not yet been recorded in the consolidated statement of
earnings).
The tax effects of the major items recorded as deferred tax assets and
liabilities are:

======= =======
The net non-current deferred tax assets in fiscal 2003 have been included in
other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and the net non-
current deferred tax liabilities in fiscal 2002 have been included in other
liabilities.
A valuation allowance is recorded because some items recorded as deferred
tax assets may not be realizable. The valuation allowance reduces the deferred
tax assets to our best estimate of net deferred assets which more likely than
not will be realized.
The valuation allowance increased by $125 thousand during fiscal 2003 due to
the net increase in foreign and state tax loss carryforwards. The valuation
allowance of $1.5 million at June 30, 2003 was comprised of tax benefits of
$405 thousand of foreign tax loss carryforwards and $1.1 million of state tax
loss carryforwards. Benefits from foreign tax loss carryforwards of $405
thousand expire during the period 2005 through 2010. The benefits of state tax
loss carryforwards expire during the period 2005 through 2013.

8. Stock Ownership Plans
Stock Option Plans
We have two employee stock option plans covering 7,225,000 shares of common
stock, a stock option plan for members of the board of directors covering
150,000 shares of common stock and option agreements with certain consultants.
The plans provide that options may be granted at a price of 100% of fair
market value on date of grant, may be exercised in full or in installments, at
the discretion of the board of directors, and must be exercised within ten
years from date of grant.
A summary of activity under the stock option plans is as follows:

8. Stock Ownership Plans--(Continued)
Shareholder Rights Plan
On May 22, 1991, we adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan. The purpose of the
plan is to prevent us from being the target of an unsolicited tender offer or
unfriendly takeover. On May 16, 2000, we amended the Shareholder Rights Plan
to provide for (i) an extension of the final expiration date of the
Shareholder Rights Plan from June 2, 2001 to June 2, 2011 and (ii) a change in
the purchase price of the rights from $300 to $200 per one one-thousandths of
a share of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment.
Under the plan, our common stockholders were issued one preferred stock
purchase right for each share of common stock owned by them. Until they are
redeemed by us or expire, each preferred stock purchase right entitles the
holder to purchase .001 share of our Series A Preferred Stock, par value $1.00
per share, at an exercise price of $200. We may redeem the preferred stock
purchase rights for $.01 per right at any time until after the date on which
our right to redeem them has expired. In addition, the preferred stock
purchase rights do not become exercisable until our right to redeem them has
expired. Our right to redeem the preferred stock purchase rights expires on
the 10th business day after the date of a public announcement that a person,
or an acquiring person, has acquired ownership of our stock representing 15
percent or more of our shareholders' general voting power. Before an acquiring
person acquires 50 percent or more of our outstanding common stock, the plan
provides that we may offer to exchange the rights, in whole or in part, on the
basis of an exchange ratio of one share of common stock for each right.
However, any rights owned by the acquiring person and its affiliates and
associates will be null and void and cannot be exchanged for common stock.
The plan also provides that, after the date of a public announcement that a
person has acquired ownership of our stock representing 15 percent or more of
our shareholders' general voting power, generally each holder of a preferred
stock purchase right will have the right to purchase, at the exercise price, a
number of shares of our preferred stock having a market value equal to twice
the exercise price. The plan further provides that if certain other business
combinations occur, generally each holder of a preferred stock purchase right
will have the right to purchase, at the exercise price, a number of shares of
the acquiring person's common stock having a market value of twice the
exercise price.
Stock Repurchase Programs
During fiscal years 1996 through 2001 we completed three stock repurchase
programs totaling $70 million. We acquired 2,550,275 shares under these
programs.
A fourth stock repurchase program for $40 million was announced on May 16,
2001. We acquired 430,871 shares through June 30, 2003 at a cost of $17.4
million.
Stock Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors
We have a compensation plan for non-employee directors, which became
effective in calendar year 1998. A summary of this plan is shown below:
o Any member of the board of directors who is not an employee or a
consultant to us or any of our divisions or subsidiaries will receive an
annual retainer (currently $24 thousand) payable in shares of our common
stock
o Payment of the annual retainer is made in January for the prior calendar
year
o A non-employee director may elect to defer receipt of the annual retainer
in which case the annual retainer will be paid entirely in shares of our
common stock that will be deposited into a director's account established
under the plan

8. Stock Ownership Plans--(Continued)
o In the case of a non-employee director who does not elect to defer the
retainer (or who has not filed a form of election), 39.6% of the retainer
will be paid in cash (to approximate current federal income tax
liability) and the balance in our common stock
o Distribution of amounts in a director's account will be made when an
event of distribution occurs, in accordance with the method of
distribution stated in the form of election
o Each member of the Board of Directors who is not an employee of, or
consultant to, the Company receives an annual grant of options to
purchase 5,000 shares of our common stock.
o In fiscal 2003, an additional grant of options to purchase 2,500 shares
of our common stock was given to each eligible member of the Board of
Directors.
9. Segment Information
Our business is the development, manufacture and sale of medical devices. We

Supplemental Retirement Plans
We have noncontributory, unfunded supplemental defined benefit retirement
plans for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Lawrence Saper, and
certain current and former key officers. Life insurance has been purchased to
recover a portion of the net after tax cost for these supplemental retirement
plans. The assumptions used to develop the supplemental pension cost and the
actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation are reviewed
annually.
A summary of Mr. Saper's supplemental pension plan is as follows:
o Mr. Saper is entitled to receive a lifetime pension of up to 60% of his
average earnings for the three-year period in which Mr. Saper's
compensation was greatest of the ten years immediately preceding his
retirement
o The supplemental retirement benefit will not be less than the value of
the benefit that would have been payable had his retirement occurred at
age 65
o The plan provides survivor benefits in the form of a $10 million life
insurance policy, maintained pursuant to a split-dollar agreement between
us, Mr. Saper and a trust for the benefit of Mr. Saper's family
The supplemental pension expense for Mr. Saper recognized in the
consolidated financial statements was $432 thousand in 2003, $262 thousand in
2002 and $385 thousand in 2001.
The supplemental retirement plan covering certain former key officers
provides a pension at age 65, for up to 15 years, based on a predetermined
earnings level for the five-year period prior to retirement. The supplemental
retirement benefit for two current officers provides a lifetime retirement
benefit. The supplemental pension expense for these executives recognized in
the consolidated financial statements was $301 thousand in 2003, $240 thousand
in 2002 and $129 thousand in 2001.

Defined Contribution Plans
We have defined contribution savings and supplemental retirement plans that
cover substantially all U.S. employees and certain international employees.
The plans provide an incentive to employees to save and invest regularly for
their retirement. In the U.S. we maintain a 401(k) savings and supplemental
retirement plan for eligible domestic employees. The contributions are based
on matching 50% of participating employees' contributions up to a maximum of
6% of compensation. The provisions for the international defined contribution
plans vary by local country. The total expense under these plans was $1.75
million for 2003, $1.63 million for 2002 and $1.53 million for 2001.

Total rent expense amounted to approximately $3.94 million in 2003, $3.67
million in 2002 and $3.52 million in 2001. Certain of our leases contain
purchase and/or renewal options.
Litigation
We are subject to litigation in the ordinary course of our business. We
believe we have meritorious defenses in all material pending lawsuits and that
the outcome will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position
or results of operations.
Credit Arrangements
We have available lines of credit totaling $99.8 million, with interest
payable at each lender's prime rate. We did not have any borrowings at June
30, 2003 or June 30, 2002. Of the total available, $25 million expires in
October 2003, $24.4 million expires in November 2003 and $25 million expires
in March 2004. These lines are renewable annually at the option of the banks,
and we plan to renew them. We also have $25.4 million in lines of credit with
no expiration date.
Rabbi Trust
We have established a trust to hold amounts which may become payable in the
future to certain executives of the Company pursuant to various employment,
supplemental benefit and severance agreements upon a change of control of the
Company. We are obligated to fund the trust upon the occurrence of events
tending to indicate that a future change in control of the Company could
occur.
12. Gain on Legal Settlement
In July 1999, we instituted patent infringement litigation relating to a
vascular sealing method against Vascular Solutions, Inc. in the United States
District Court, District of Minnesota. In that litigation our complaint
alleged that the manufacture, use and/or sale of Vascular Solutions' Duett
device infringed our United States Patent No. 5,725,498. In November 2002, the
parties settled the matter. Pursuant to the settlement, Vascular Solutions
paid us $3.75 million and we granted Vascular Solutions a limited, non-
exclusive patent license. In the second quarter of fiscal 2003, we recorded a
pretax gain on the settlement, net of related legal expenses, of $3 million,
or $1.9 million after tax, equivalent to $0.13 per diluted share.
13. Restructuring Charges
In fiscal 2002, we recorded restructuring charges totaling $11.5 million.
The restructuring charges consisted of the following.
o severance expenses, asset writedowns and contractual obligations related
to the closure of the VasoSeal manufacturing and R&D facility in Vaals,
the Netherlands and severance expenses for U.S. employees
