Item 1.     Business

 

(a)  Developments During Fiscal 2003

 

Total revenues of Analogic Corporation (hereinafter, together with its subsidiaries, referred to as “Analogic” or the “Company”) for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003, were $471.5 million as compared to $306.1 million for fiscal 2002, an increase of 54%. Net income for fiscal 2003 was $49.5 million, or $3.70 per diluted share as compared to $3.0 million or $.23 per diluted share for fiscal 2002. Net income for fiscal 2002 includes pre-tax write-downs of $3.6 million of certain assets of Anatel Communications Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary, and $5.3 million of certain assets related to the Company’s semi-conductor test equipment related business.

 

The Company announced in April 2002 that it had entered into an agreement to supply up to 1,000 of its EXACT systems to L-3 Communications’ Security and Detection System division (“L-3”). The EXACT is the core system of L-3’s Examiner 3DX6000 certified Explosive Detection System that was purchased by the United States Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) and installed at major airports across the United States.

 

The Company recognized product revenue upon shipment of EXACT systems and spare parts to L-3, at which time all revenue recognition criteria have been met. During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company received firm orders from L-3 for 245 additional systems. These orders brought the total number of systems that had been ordered by L-3 for delivery to the TSA to 425. The Company shipped all 425 EXACT systems by December 31, 2002; 54 systems in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 and 371 systems in the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2003. In addition, in December 2002, the Company received a purchase order from L-3 to deliver an additional 75 EXACT systems during the remainder of fiscal 2003 for foreign and other anticipated orders. The Company shipped all of these systems as of July 31, 2003.

 

The Company recorded cash received from L-3 of $50.6 million as provided by the agreement for the purchase of long-lead-time inventory components as advance payments within the liabilities section of the balance sheet. These payments were recognized as revenue when the systems for which the inventory components relate to have been shipped. As of July 31, 2003, the Company had no remaining balance recorded within advance payments related to long-lead purchases.

 

The agreement also provided for the Company to receive $22.0 million of ramp-up funds for the purpose of leasing and fitting up a facility and ensuring the availability of key critical raw material and inventory components from suppliers to meet the production and volume requirements of this contract. These costs incurred and assets purchased have been fully reimbursed by L-3. The Company has not recorded any revenues, costs or assets related to these ramp-up funds. All cash received for ramp-up activities is recorded within the advance payments account within the liability section of the balance sheet. These liabilities are reduced as the cash is spent on these activities. As of July 31, 2003, the Company had a balance of $3.7 million of unexpended ramp-up funds recorded within the advance payments.

 

In addition to the $22.0 million of ramp-up funds provided by L-3 on behalf of the TSA, the Company has spent approximately $5.7 million of its own funds for the purchase of manufacturing and office equipment, which was capitalized during fiscal year 2003.

 

Upon receipt of the ramp-up funding, the Company, to significantly increase its capacity to satisfy the needs of L-3 and the TSA, leased a 200,000 square foot building in Haverhill, Massachusetts. The new facility was designed and made ready for production in under four months and was largely paid for with the ramp-up funds. In late July 2002, production of these systems was transferred from the Company’s Peabody facility to this new, state-of-the-art Computed Tomography (CT) facility in Haverhill. This facility was designed specifically for the manufacture, repair, and refurbishment of security imaging equipment.

In October 2002, Anrad Corporation, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary located in Saint-Laurent, Quebec, purchased the remaining 52% of the outstanding common stock of FTNI, Inc. (“FTNI”) for $2.4 million in cash. With the purchase of the remaining shares of FTNI, Anrad has full ownership rights and access to FTNI’s basic technology and intellectual property. Upon completion of this transaction, Anrad’s total investment in FTNI amounted to approximately $2.7 million of which approximately $2.0 million was determined to be intellectual property and $.7 million represented the fair value of tangible net assets, primarily cash.

 

On November 6, 2002, the Company’s newly formed subsidiary, Sound Technology, Inc. (“STI”), acquired certain assets and liabilities of the Sound Technology business unit, located in State College, PA, from Acuson Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Siemens Corporation, for approximately $9.9 million in cash. STI produces linear and tightly curved array ultrasound transducers and probes for a broad range of clinical applications that are supplied to medical equipment companies worldwide. The net investment of $9.9 million consists of approximately $2.8 million of tangible net assets acquired and approximately $7.1 million of intellectual property and other intangible assets.

 

On November 6, 2002, the Company’s subsidiary, Camtronics Medical Systems, Ltd., acquired all the shares of VMI Medical, Inc. (“VMI”), of Ottawa, Canada. VMI is a medical information software company specializing in clinical database, workflow automation and business improvement solutions for children’s heart centers. VMI was acquired for approximately $2.0 million in cash, payable over a two year period, and future contingent consideration, which will be based upon the combined companies achieving certain performance criteria over specific time periods. The Company paid $2.0 million in cash related to the acquisition, assumed approximately $1.4 million in net liabilities and acquired intellectual property valued at $3.4 million.

 

On May 21, 2003, the Company acquired 1,251,313 shares of Series B Convertible Participating Preferred Stock for an equity interest of approximately 11% in PhotoDetection Systems, Inc. (“PDS”) of Acton, Massachusetts. PDS, a privately held company, has developed proprietary detection systems for high-performance Position Emission Tomography (“PET”), a rapidly growing medical diagnostic imaging modality. PET scanning is a tool in the diagnosis and management of cancer, specifically for detecting early-stage tumors and determining tissue characteristics before and after treatment. In addition the Company also received a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1.4 million and an exclusive license of PDS technology for non-PET products. The convertible promissory note is convertible by the Company into 1,025,559 shares of Series B Convertible Participating Preferred Stock. If converted, the Company’s equity interest would increase by 9%. Upon PDS achieving certain milestones, the exclusive license of PDS technology will revert back to PDS and the Company will receive a warrant for the purchase of 2,250,563 shares of Series B Convertible Participating Preferred Stock. The exercise of this warrant would increase the Company’s equity interest by 20%. The Company, in connection with this transaction, expended a total of $6.0 million in cash. The Company’s current equity interest, the potential conversion of the promissory note into Series B Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, and the potential reversion of its exclusive technology license to PDS for the warrant could potentially result in the Company having a 40% equity interest in PDS. Additionally, under certain circumstances in the future, the Company may at its discretion, or may be required to, purchase the remaining 60% equity at its then fair value. The Company has three of the seats on PDS’ seven-person board of directors. The Company accounts for this investment under the equity method due to the Company’s ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies.

 

During the third quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company commenced the construction of a 100,000 square foot addition to its headquarters building in Peabody, Massachusetts. This two-story addition, which is expected to be completed during December, 2003, will enable the Company to further consolidate its existing Massachusetts operations and to expand production capacity for its medical and security imaging system business. The building including fit-up is estimated to cost approximately $12.5 million and will be financed by internally generated cash. As of July 31, 2003, approximately $3.2 million has been spent.

 

Mr. John W. Wood Jr. joined the Company as President in April 2003. In August 2003 Mr. Wood was appointed Chief Executive Officer succeeding Mr. Bernard M. Gordon.

Mr. Alex A. Van Adzin joined the Company as Vice President, General Counsel and Clerk in October 2003.

 

Analogic was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in November 1967.

 

(b)  Financial Information About Industry Segment

 

The Company operates primarily within two segments within the electronics industry: Imaging Technology Products and Signal Processing Technology Products. Imaging Technology Products consist primarily of electronic systems and subsystems for medical imaging equipment and advanced explosive detection systems. Signal Processing Technology Products consist of Analog to Digital (A/D) converters and supporting modules, and high-speed digital signal processors.

 

(c)  Narrative Description of Business

 

Analogic is a leading custom designer and manufacturer of advanced health and security systems and subsystems sold to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). The Company is recognized worldwide for advancing state-of-the-art technology in the areas of Computed Tomography (CT), Digital Radiography (DR), Ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Patient Monitoring, Cardiovascular Information Management, and Embedded Multiprocessing.

 

Analogic conceives, designs, manufactures, and sells standard and customized high-precision data acquisition, signal and imaging processing based medical imaging and industrial systems and subsystems. Analogic’s principal customers are OEMs who incorporate Analogic’s state-of-the art products into systems used in medical, industrial and scientific applications.

 

Analogic has been a leader in the application of precision analog-to-digital (A/D) and digital-to-analog (D/A) conversion technology, which involves the conversion of continuously varying (i.e. “analog”) electrical signals, such as those representing temperature, pressure, voltage, weight, velocity, ultrasound and x-ray intensity, into and from the numeric (or “digital”) form required by computers, medical imaging equipment and other data processing equipment and in subsystems and systems based on such technology.

 

In addition to their precision measurement capabilities, most of Analogic’s products perform very high-speed complex calculations on the data being analyzed. Thus, Analogic’s products are an integral part of the communications link between various analog sensors, detectors or transducers and the people or systems that interpret or utilize this information.

 

Analogic’s products may be divided primarily into two segments as described below.

 

Imaging Technology Products, consisting primarily of electronic systems and subsystems for medical imaging equipment and advanced explosive detection systems, accounted for approximately 96% of product and engineering revenue in fiscal 2003.

 

Analogic’s medical imaging data acquisition systems and related computing equipment are incorporated by North American, European and Asian manufacturers into advanced X-ray equipment known as Computed Tomography (CT) scanners. These scanners generate images of the internal anatomy, which are used primarily in diagnosing medical conditions. Analogic’s data acquisition and signal processing systems have advanced CT scanner technology which substantially increases the resolution of the image, reduces the time necessary to acquire the image, and reduces the computing time required to produce the image. Analogic supplies to its medical imaging customers A/D and D/A conversion equipment and complete data acquisition systems. The Company also manufactures complete mobile and other CT scanners incorporating proprietary technology.

 

The Company manufactures electronics for a family of hard copy laser printers in single and multi-user configurations that address the diagnostic image market. These printers are used in hospitals world-wide to print

diagnostic quality images on film from the electronic data collected by medical imaging equipment such as CT scanners and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners. The Company also designs and manufactures for OEM customers advanced Radio Frequency (RF) amplifiers, gradient coil amplifiers and spectrometers for use in MRI equipment. These MRI scanners are used primarily to create diagnostic medical images.

 

The Company manufactures fetal monitoring products for conversion and display of biomedical signals. These monitors are designed for use in antepartum applications and have the capability to measure, compute, display and print fetal heart rates, maternal contraction frequency and relative intensity to determine both maternal and fetal well being.

 

The Company also manufactures a lightweight, portable, multi-functional, custom patient monitoring instruments that acquire, calculate and display combinations of the five most common vital sign parameters: Electrocardiogram (ECG), Respiration, Temperature, Non Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) and Pulse Oximetry (SpO2). These monitors are designed to be used in a variety of hospital settings such as emergency room, sub-acute units, general care and surgical centers where ease-of-use, portability, flexibility and costs are important considerations.

 

The Company also manufactures a broad line of medical connectivity products that allows medical equipment such as CT Scanners and MRI and ultrasound equipment to attach to local Digital Imaging and Communications for Medicine (DICOM), Picture Archive & Communications Systems (PACS) and wide area networks. The line includes Computed Radiography (CR) image processing and viewing workstations.

 

The Company, through an exclusive OEM relationship with a major international OEM, is designing, developing, and manufacturing Direct Digital Radiography (DDR) systems. DDR uses a solid-state, flat-panel detector technology, consisting of an amorphous selenium coating over a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) array, to convert X-Rays into electrical signals and create an image.

 

B-K Medical Systems A/S, a 100% owned subsidiary, designs and manufactures ultrasound systems and probes for end user markets in urology, surgery, and radiology. Their scanners generate real-time images of the internal anatomy that are used for medical diagnosis and interventional procedures. B-K also manufactures key subsystems on an OEM basis for ultrasound equipment manufacturers.

 

Camtronics, a 100% owned subsidiary, designs and manufactures multi-modality image and information management systems for cardiology. This system integrates all cardiac patient data into an enterprise-wide information system. The industry leader in cardiac workstation technology, Camtronics also designs and manufactures state-of-the-art digital imaging systems for cardiology and radiology.

 

Anrad, a 100% owned subsidiary, designs and manufactures a state-of-the-art direct conversion series of amorphous selenium based, X-ray, flat panel detectors for diagnostic and interventional applications in mammography and other digital radiology applications.

 

Sound Technology, Inc., a 100% owned subsidiary, produces linear and tightly curved array ultrasound transducers and probes for a broad range of clinical applications that are supplied to medical equipment companies. These products are supplied to a global customer base of ultrasound systems manufacturers on an original equipment manufacturing basis,

 

Analogic designs and manufactures the Explosive Assessment Computed Tomography (“EXACT”) scanner. The EXACT is the world’s first dual-energy, helical-cone-beam, 24-slice CT scanner. It is the only security detection system in the world capable of generating data for full three-dimensional (3D) images of every object contained within a piece of luggage. The EXACT is the core system of L-3’s examiner 3DX6000, the first second-generation Explosive Detection System (EDS) certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The examiner is being purchased by the government for installation at major U.S. airports to scan checked luggage.

Analogic has designed and developed low cost “ARGUS” explosive detection systems to meet the needs of smaller regional airports.

 

Analogic designs and manufactures a key digital front-end component, the Data Acquisition System (DAS), for two EDS systems manufactured by the only other supplier of FAA certified Explosive Detection Systems.

 

Analogic is also designing a high-speed, low-cost carry-on baggage CT scanning system to detect explosives, drugs and other contraband, and EDS systems for building entrances, cruise ships, postal activity and freight.

 

Signal Processing Technology Products, consisting of A/D converters and supporting modules, high-speed digital signal processors such as Array Processors, and image processing equipment, accounted for approximately 4% of fiscal 2003 product and engineering revenue.

 

A/D converters convert continuously varying “analog” signals into the numerical “digital” form required by microprocessors and other data processing equipment. Analogic manufactures a wide variety of high-speed 14 and 16 bit low noise converters.

 

Analogic specializes in the manufacture of high-precision and high performance, rather than lower-cost, low-precision and minimal performance, data conversion products. Typical applications of these devices include the conversion of industrial and biomedical signals into computer language.

 

The Company manufactures a line of Compact Peripheral Computer Interface (CPCI) boards. These products are fully compatible with the CPCI form factor and bus structure and take advantage of software written for the PCIbus. The boards, which are designed for OEM embedded applications requiring precision measurements and high sampling rates, perform acquisition, conditioning, multiplexing, as well as signal processing functions, and are supported by Microsoft Windows NT® software.

 

SKY Computers, a 100% owned subsidiary, designs and manufactures high performance multicomputing platforms used in advanced medical, military, and industrial imaging applications. The Company’s SKYpack multiprocessors provide the image processing power for Analogic’s advanced CT scanners.

 

Hotel Operation

 

The Company owns a hotel, which is located adjacent to the Company’s principal executive offices and manufacturing facility in Peabody, Massachusetts. The hotel is strategically situated in an industrial park, is in close proximity to the historic and tourist area of Boston’s North Shore and is approximately 18 miles from Boston. The hotel has 256 rooms, a ballroom and several other function rooms and appropriate recreational facilities. The hotel is managed for the Company under a contract with Marriott Corporation.

 

Marketing and Distribution

 

The Company sells its products domestically and abroad directly through the efforts of its officers and employees and on occasion through a network of independent sales representatives and distributors located in principal cities around the world. In addition, Analogic subsidiaries in England, Denmark and Canada act as distributors. Domestically, Analogic has several regional sales offices staffed by salespeople who sell the Company’s products in the surrounding areas and supervise independent sales representatives and distributors in their regions. The majority of distributors order from the Company as they receive orders from their customers and do not stock inventory for resale. Sales made to distributors are based on fixed discounts applied to established list prices under normal payment terms. Returns are allowed for defective products under authorized warranty repair. Some of Analogic’s distributors also represent manufacturers of competing products.

Sources of Raw Materials and Components

 

In general, Analogic’s products are composed of Company-designed proprietary integrated circuits, printed circuit boards, and precision resistor networks manufactured by Analogic and others in accordance with Analogic’s specifications, as well as standard electronic integrated circuits, transistors, displays and other components. Most items procured are believed to be available from more than one source. However, it may be necessary, if a given component ceases to be available, for Analogic to modify its product design to adapt to a substitute component or to purchase new tooling to enable a new supplier to manufacture the component which would result in additional expense and/or delays in product sales. Also, from time to time the availability of certain electronic components has been disrupted. Accordingly, Analogic carries a substantial inventory of raw materials and components in an effort to assure its ability to make timely delivery to its customers.

 

Patents and Licenses

 

The Company holds approximately 127 patents of varying duration issued in the United States, which cover technology developed by it. In many instances, the Company holds corresponding foreign patents. The Company regularly files domestic patent applications and, where appropriate, foreign patent applications as well as continuations to cover both new and improved methods, apparatus, processes, designs and products. At present, approximately 232 U.S. and foreign patents applications are in process.

 

The Company also relies on a combination of trade secret, copyright and trademark laws, as well as contractual agreements to safeguard its proprietary rights in technology and products. In seeking to limit access to sensitive information to the greatest practical extent, the Company routinely enters into confidentiality and assignment of invention agreements with each of its employees and nondisclosure agreements with its key customers and vendors.

 

Management believes that any legal protection afforded by patent, copyright, and trade secret laws are of secondary importance as a factor in the Company’s ability to compete. Future prospects are more a function of the continuing level of excellence and creativity of engineers in developing products which satisfy customer needs, and the innovative skills, competence and marketing and managerial skills of its personnel in selling those products. Moreover, the Company believes that market positioning and rapid market entry are equally important to the success of its products. Management is of the opinion that the loss of patent protection would not have a material effect on the Company’s competitive position.

 

Seasonal Aspect of Business

 

There is no material seasonal element to the Company’s business, although plant closings in the summer, particularly in Europe, tend to decrease the activity of certain buying sources during the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year.

 

Working Capital Matters

 

The Company does not carry a substantial inventory of finished goods but does carry a substantial inventory of raw material components and work-in-process to enable it to meet its customers’ delivery requirements. (See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)

 

Material Customers

 

The Company’s three largest customers in fiscal 2003, each of which is a significant and valued customer, were L-3 Communications, General Electric and Toshiba, which accounted for approximately 43.2%, 9.0%, and 6.6%, respectively, of product and engineering revenue. Loss of any one of these customers would have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business.

 

7


Backlog

 

The backlog of firm orders at July 31, 2003 was approximately $104.5 million compared with approximately $120.6 million at July 31, 2002. The reduction is principally due to a decline in orders for the Company’s EXACT Systems partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue of $7.0 million by Camtronics Medical Systems Ltd. The backlog amounts for fiscal years 2003 and 2002 include deferred revenue of $22.9 million and $15.9 million, respectively, by Camtronics Medical Systems Ltd. Many of the orders in the Company’s backlog permit cancellation by the customer under certain circumstances. To date, Analogic has not experienced material cancellation of orders. The Company reasonably expects to ship substantially all of its July 31, 2003 backlog during fiscal 2004.

 

Government Contracts

 

The amount of the Company’s business that may be subject to renegotiation of profits at the election of the Government is insignificant.

 

Competition

 

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

 

Analogic’s medical X-ray imaging systems are highly specialized. The Company considers its selection by its OEM customers for design and manufacture of these products and its other medical products to be much less a function of other competitors in the field than it is of the “make-or-buy” decision of its individual OEM customers. Many OEM customers and potential OEM customers of the Company have the capacity to design and manufacture these products for themselves. In the Company’s area of expertise, the continued signing of new contracts indicates continued strength in the Company’s relationship with its major customers, although some of these customers continue to commit to shorter-term contracts.

 

Analogic’s competitors include divisions of some larger, more diversified organizations, as well as several specialized companies. Some of them have greater resources and larger staffs than Analogic. The Company believes that it is a leading manufacturer of CT scanner and MRI electronic sub-systems in the medical industry.

 

Research and Product Development

 

Research and product development (“R&D”) is a significant factor in Analogic’s business. The Company maintains a constant and comprehensive R&D program directed toward the creation of new products as well as toward the improvement and refinement of its present products and the expansion of their uses and applications.

 

Company funds expended for R&D amounted to $55.1 million in fiscal 2003, $39.1 million in fiscal 2002, and $39.6 million in fiscal 2001. Analogic intends to continue its emphasis on new product development. As of July 31, 2003, Analogic had approximately 540 employees, including electronic development engineers, software engineers, physicists, mathematicians, and technicians, engaged in research and product development activities. These individuals, in conjunction with the Company’s salespeople, also devote a portion of their time assisting customers in utilizing the Company’s products, developing new uses for these products, and anticipating customer requirements for new products.

 

The Company capitalized $3.5 million and $2.4 million in fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively, of computer software testing and coding costs incurred after technological feasibility was established. These costs are amortized on a straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the related products, generally three years, and are included in product cost of sales.

 

8


Environment

 

Our manufacturing facilities are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations, particularly with respect to industrial waste and emissions. Compliance with these laws and regulations has not had a material impact on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.

 

Employees

 

As of July 31, 2003, the Company had approximately 1,800 employees.

 

Financial Information about Segments, Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Revenue

 

The Company’s operations are primarily within two segments within the electronics industry: Imaging Technology Products (consisting of medical and security imaging products) and Signal Processing Technology Products. Imaging Technology Products consist primarily of electronic systems and subsystems for medical imaging equipment and advanced explosive detection systems. Signal Processing Technology Products consist of Analog to Digital (A/D) converters and supporting modules, and high-speed digital signal processors. See Note 17 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding the Company’s segments.

 

Domestic and foreign revenues were $429.7 million and $41.9 million respectively for fiscal 2003 compared to $271.4 million and $34.7 million in fiscal 2002 and $322.1 million and $30.0 million in fiscal 2001.

 

Export revenue, from sales of products and engineering services from the United States to companies in Europe and Asia, amounted to approximately $91.9 million (20%) of product and engineering revenue) in fiscal 2003 as compared to approximately $99.4 million (33%) in fiscal 2002, and approximately $110.6 million (32%) in fiscal 2001. Management believes that the Company’s export revenue is at least as profitable as its domestic revenue. The Company’s export revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars.

 

Management does not believe the Company’s foreign and export revenue is subject to significantly greater risks than its domestic revenue.

Item 7.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion provides an analysis of Company’s financial condition and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The discussion below contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, the Company makes in this document or in any document incorporated by reference are forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to differ from the projected results. See “Business Environment and Risk Factors” below.

 

Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments, and Estimates

 

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has issued Financial Reporting Release No. 60, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies” (“FRR 60”), suggesting companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies. In FRR 60, the SEC defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and operating results, and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments are based on our historical experience, terms of existing contracts, our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Our critical accounting policies include:

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes the majority of its revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 101”). Revenue related to product sales is recognized upon shipment provided that title and risk of loss has passed to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the sales price is fixed or determinable, collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured and customer acceptance criteria, if any, have been successfully demonstrated. For product sales with acceptance criteria that are not successfully demonstrated prior to shipment, revenue is recognized upon customer acceptance provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Hardware maintenance revenues are recognized ratably over the life of the contracts. For business units that sell software licenses, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”)’s Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (“SOP 97-2”). The application of SOP 97-2 requires judgment, including whether a software arrangement includes multiple elements, and if so, whether vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value exists for those elements. License revenue is recognized upon delivery, provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, no significant obligations with regards to installation or implementation remain, fees are fixed or determinable, collectibility is reasonably assured and customer acceptance, when applicable, is obtained. Software maintenance revenues are recognized ratably over the life of the contracts. Service revenues are recognized at the time the services are rendered. The Company provides engineering services to some of its customers on a contractual basis and recognizes revenue using the percentage of completion method. The Company estimates the percentage of completion on contracts with fixed fees on a monthly basis utilizing hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated hours to complete the project. If the Company does not have a sufficient basis to measure progress towards completion, revenue is recognized upon completion of the contract. When total cost estimates exceed revenues, the Company accrues for the estimated losses immediately. Revenue related to the hotel operations is recognized as services are performed.

 

Camtronics’ revenues are derived primarily from the sale of Digital Cardiac Information Systems. System sales revenues consist of the following components: computer software licenses, computer hardware, installation support, and sublicensed software. In addition, Camtronics generates revenues related to system sales for software support, hardware maintenance, training, consulting and other professional services.

 

12


Camtronics recognizes revenue in accordance with the provisions of SOP 97-2. SOP 97-2 requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple-elements to be allocated to each element based on the fair values of those elements or by use of the residual method. Under the residual method, revenue is recognized in a multiple-element arrangement when company-specific objective evidence of fair value exists for all of the undelivered elements in the arrangement, which is determined by the price charged when that element is sold separately (i.e. professional services, software support, hardware maintenance, hardware and sublicensed software), but does not exist for one or more of the delivered elements in the arrangement (i.e. software solutions). Specifically, Camtronics determines the fair value of the maintenance portion of the arrangement based on the renewal price of the maintenance charged to clients, professional services portion of the arrangement, other than installation services, based on hourly rates which Camtronics charges for these services when sold apart from a software license, and the hardware and sublicensed software based on the prices for these elements when they are sold separately from the software. If evidence of the fair value cannot be established for the undelivered elements of a license agreement, the entire amount of revenue under the arrangement is deferred until these elements have been delivered or objective evidence of fair value for the remaining undelivered element is established.

 

Inherent in the revenue recognition process are significant management estimates and judgments, which influence the timing and the amount of revenue recognition. Camtronics provides several models for the procurement of its digital cardiac information systems. The predominant model includes a perpetual software license agreement, project-related installation services, professional consulting services, computer hardware and sub-licensed software and software support.

 

Camtronics provides installation services, which include project-scoping services, conducting pre-installation audits detailed installation plans, actual installation of hardware components, and testing of all hardware and software installed at the customer site. Because installation services are deemed to be essential to the functionality of the software, software license and installation services fees are recognized upon completion of installation.

 

Camtronics also provides professional consulting services, which include consulting activities that fall outside of the scope of the standard installation services. These services vary depending on the scope and complexity requested by the client. Examples of such services may include additional database consulting, system configuration, project management, interfacing to existing systems, and network consulting. Professional consulting services generally are not deemed to be essential to the functionality of the software, and thus, do not impact the timing of the software license revenue recognition. Professional consulting service revenue is recognized as the services are performed.

 

Hardware and software maintenance fees are marketed under annual and multi-year arrangements and are recognized as revenue ratably over the contracted maintenance term.

 

Deferred revenue is comprised of 1) license fee, maintenance and other service revenues for which payment has been received and for which services have not yet been performed and 2) revenues related to delivered components of a multiple-element arrangement for which fair value has not been determined for components not yet delivered or accepted by the customer. Deferred costs represent costs and related to these revenues; for example, costs of goods sold and services provided and sales commission expenses.

 

Inventories

 

The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Management assesses the recoverability of inventory based on types and levels of inventory held, forecasted demand and changes in technology. These assessments require management judgments and estimates, and valuation adjustments for excess and obsolete inventory may be recorded based on these assessments. A reserve of $10,438 and $17,182 was recorded as of July 31, 2002, respectively.

 

13


Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash investments and marketable securities in high credit quality financial instruments and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. The Company grants credit to domestic and foreign original equipment manufacturers, distributors and end users, and performs ongoing credit evaluations on its customer’s financial condition. The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific customer collections issues that have been identified. While such credit losses have historically been within expectations and provisions established, there is no guarantee that the Company will continue to experience the same credit loss rates as in the past. Since the accounts receivable are concentrated in a relatively few number of customers, a significant change in liquidity or financial position of any one of these customers could have a material adverse impact on the collectability of accounts receivables and future operating results.

 

Warranty Reserve

 

The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time products are shipped. Although the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, its warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates or service costs differ from the Company’s estimates, which are based on specific warranty claims, historical data and engineering estimates, where applicable, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required. Such revisions could adversely affect the Company’s operating results.

 

Investments in and Advances to Affiliated Companies

 

The Company has several investments in affiliated companies related to areas of the Company’s strategic focus. The Company accounts for these investments using the equity method of accounting. In assessing the recoverability of these investments, the Company must make certain assumptions and judgments based on changes in the Company’s overall business strategy, the financial condition of the affiliated companies, market conditions and the industry and economic environment in which the entity operates. Adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of affiliated companies could result in losses or an inability to recover the carrying value of the investments, thereby requiring an impairment charge in the future.

 

Goodwill, Intangible Assets, and Other Long-Lived Assets

 

Intangible assets consist of goodwill, intellectual property, licenses, and capitalized software. Other long-lived assets consist primarily of property, plant, and equipment. Intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment, excluding goodwill, are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life. The carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets is reviewed on a quarterly basis for the existence of facts and circumstances both internally and externally that may suggest impairment. Factors which the Company considers important and that could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results and significant negative industry or economic trends. The Company determines whether an impairment has occurred based on gross expected future cash flows, and measures the amount of the impairment based on the related future discounted cash flows. The cash flow estimates used to determine impairment, if any, contain management’s best estimates, using appropriate and customary assumptions and projections at the time. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” the Company has ceased amortizing goodwill as of August 1, 2002 and will annually review the goodwill for potential impairment, as well as on an event-driven basis, using a fair value approach.

 

Income Taxes

 

As part of the process of preparing the Company’s financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. This process involves assessing temporary

 

14


differences resulting from different treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the balance sheet. The Company must then assess the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent that recovery is not more likely than not, a valuation allowance must be established. To the extent a valuation allowance is established, the Company must include an expense within the tax provision in the statement of operations. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates, the provision for income taxes could be materially impacted.

 

Results of Operations

 

Fiscal 2003 Compared to Fiscal 2002

 

Product revenue for fiscal 2003 was $442.3 million as compared with $270.1 million in fiscal 2002, and increase of $172.2 or 64%. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $182.7 million in sales of Imaging Technology Products, offset by a reduction in sales of Signal Processing Technology Products in the amount of $10.5 million due primarily to lower demand for embedded multiprocessing equipment. Of the increased sales amount, $170.6 million represents increased sales of EXACT systems and spare parts, $15.6 million represents sales by the newly acquired subsidiary Sound Technology Inc. (“STI”), $20.0 million represents sales due to increased demand for the Company’s Data Acquisition Systems and $12.9 million represents sales from increased demand for the Company’s cardiovascular and ultrasound imaging systems. These medical and security imaging revenues were partially offset by a decrease of $34.0 million primarily due to a reduction in sales of mid-range Computed Tomography (“CT”) medical systems previously supplied to Philips.

 

Engineering revenue for fiscal 2003 was $20.9 million compared to $26.5 million in fiscal 2002, a decrease of 21%. The decrease in engineering revenue was primarily due to a decrease in customer funded projects for developing medical and security imaging equipment.

 

Other revenue of $8.4 million and $9.6 million for fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively represent revenue from the Company’s hotel operation. The decrease in revenues is mostly the result of lower occupancy.

 

Cost of product sales was $256.2 million in fiscal 2003 compared to $169.7 in fiscal 2002. Cost of product sales as a percentage of revenue was 58% in fiscal 2003, compared to 63% in fiscal 2002. The decrease in cost of product sales percentage over prior year was primarily attributable to the increase sales of security imaging technology products, which have lower cost of sales then most of the Company’s other products.

 

Cost of engineering sales was $14.9 million in fiscal 2003 compared with $23.2 million in fiscal 2002. The total cost of engineering sales as a percentage of engineering revenue decreased to 71% in fiscal 2003 from 88% in fiscal 2002. This percentage decrease was primarily attributable to license revenue recognized in fiscal 2003 for which there was no associated cost.

 

Other costs of sales were $4.7 million and $5.2 million from the Company’s hotel operation for fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

Research and product development expenses were $55.1 million in fiscal 2003, or 12% of total revenue, compared to $39.1 million in fiscal 2002, or 13% of total revenue. The increase in research and product development expenses of $16.0 million was due to the Company continuing to focus substantial resources in developing new generations of medial imaging equipment, including innovative CT systems for niche markets, advanced digital x-ray systems and subsystems for general radiography and mammography, and an extended family of multislice CT Data Acquisition Systems for both medical and security markets. In addition, the Company is developing security-imaging systems for a variety of applications. The Company is in the initial stages of testing prototypes of automated, CT-based portal screening systems that can scan carry-on baggage at airports, “carry-in” baggage at public buildings, and parcels for corporations and delivery services. In addition, the Company continues to increase its investment in a number of other development projects to meet diverse, evolving security needs in the United States and abroad.

Selling and marketing expenses were $34.9 million in fiscal 2003, or 7% of total revenue, as compared to $32.5 million in fiscal 2002, or 11% of total revenue. The increase in selling and marketing expenses of $2.4 million was mainly attributable to exchange rate differential for our B-K Medical subsidiary in Denmark.

 

General and administration expenses were $36.0 million in fiscal 2003, or 8% of total revenue, compared to $29.3 million in fiscal 2002 or 10% of total revenue. The increase of $6.7 million was primarily attributable to increased salaries and related payroll expenses of approximately $1.3 million, amortization of approximately $2.1 million related to acquired intangible assets, and approximately $1.3 million related to incremental costs due the acquisition of Sound Technology Inc. and VMI Medical, Inc. Also, included in general and administrative expenses was a provision for bad debt of approximately $2.4 million, of which $1.6 million was related to Shenzen Anke High-Tech Co. Ltd. (“SAHCO”), and approximately $0.7 million in connection with an unsecured note from an unrelated party, which the Company deemed uncollectible.

 

Computer software costs of $3.5 million and $2.4 million were capitalized in fiscal 2003 and 2002 respectively. Amortization of capitalized software costs amounted to $1.8 million in both fiscal years 2003 and 2002, and is included in the product cost of sales.

 

Interest income for fiscal 2003 was $5.0 million compared to $4.4 million for fiscal 2002. The increase of $0.6 million was primarily the result of higher invested cash balances partially offset by lower affective interest rate on short term investments.

 

The Company recorded a loss of $2.5 million related to equity in unconsolidated affiliates in fiscal 2003 compared to a gain of $0.6 million for fiscal 2002. The equity loss in fiscal 2003 consists primarily of losses of $1.1 million and $1.5 million reflecting the Company’s share of losses in SAHCO and Cedara Software Corporation, respectively. The equity gain in fiscal 2002 consists primarily of gains of $1.4 million and $0.6 million reflecting the Company’s share of gains in Enhanced CT Technology LLC and Cedara Software Corporation, respectively, partially offset by an equity loss of $1.3 million reflecting the Company’s share of losses in SAHCO.

 

Other income was $5.8 million in fiscal 2003, compared with $0.8 in fiscal 2002. Other income in fiscal 2003 includes $3.9 million of currency exchange gain resulting from the weakening U.S. dollars, primarily due to $1.8 million gain on U.S. dollar loans to the Company’s Danish subsidiary, and a $2.1 million gain on U.S. dollar loans to the Company’s Canadian subsidiary, and $1.6 million gain from the sale of a building the Company owned in Peabody, Massachusetts to a related party.

 

The effective tax rate for fiscal 2003 was 36.3% compared to 20.5% in fiscal 2002. The increase was due primarily to the lower impact related to the benefit realized from tax exempt interest and extraterritorial income benefit on a higher pretax income when compared to 2002.

 

Net income for fiscal 2003 was $49.5 million compared to $3.0 million in fiscal 2002. Basic earnings per share were $3.74 compared to $0.23 in fiscal 2002. Diluted earnings per share were $3.70 in fiscal 2003 compared to $0.23 in fiscal 2002. The increase in net income over the prior year’s period was primarily the result of increased revenue and profit derived from the sale of EXACT systems. The prior year income included a pre-tax asset impairment charge of $8.9 million related to the writedown of certain assets of the Company’s telecommunications subsidiary Anatel and the Company’s Test and Measurement Division.

 

Fiscal 2002 Compared to Fiscal 2001

 

Product revenue for fiscal 2002 was $270.1 million as compared with $311.7 million in fiscal 2001, a decrease of $41.6 million or 13%. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in the sale of Medical Instrumentation Technology Products of $31.0 million, or 13%, attributed to lower demand for the Company’s cardiovascular, patient monitoring systems and medical imaging equipment; and a decrease in the sale for its Signal Processing Technology Products of $40.7 million, or 60%, due primarily to the decline in the demand for its semi-conductor Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) boards. These reductions in product revenue were offset by an increase in sales of Security Imaging Technology Products of $30.0 million, from $1.5 million sales in the prior year, due to shipments of the Company’s EXACT systems, spare parts and components.

 

16


Engineering revenue for fiscal 2002 was $26.5 million compared to $27.7 million in fiscal 2001, a decrease of 4%. The change was primarily due to a decrease in the demand for these services.

 

Other revenues of $9.6 million and $12.8 million for fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively, represent revenue from the Company’s Hotel operation. The decrease in revenues is mostly attributable to the current economic decline in the travel and lodging industries.

 

Product cost of sales was $169.7 million in fiscal 2002 compared to $201.5 million in fiscal 2001. Product cost of sales as a percentage of product revenue was 63% in fiscal 2002, compared to 65% in fiscal 2001. The percentage decrease of product cost of sales was primarily due to product mix.

 

Engineering cost of sales was $23.2 million in fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2001. Engineering cost of sales as a percentage of engineering revenue increased to 88% in fiscal 2002 from 84% in fiscal 2001. This percentage increase was primarily attributable to the unanticipated costs associated with the development of health and security imaging systems on contracted projects.

 

Other costs of sales were $5.2 million and $6.4 million from the Company’s Hotel operation for fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively.

 

During fiscal year 2002, the Company recorded asset impairment charges totaling $8.9 million on a pre-tax basis. As a result of the continued decline in the economic and business conditions in the telecommunications industry, Analogic decided to terminate activities related to Anatel, the Company’s wholly owned telecommunications subsidiary. The Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $1.9 million related to the impairment of purchased intangibles and other long-lived assets. The impairment charge is equal to the amount by which the assets’ carrying value exceeded the present value of their estimated discounted cash flows. Additionally, a pre-tax charge of $0.6 million related to obsolete inventory, as well as a pre-tax charge of $1.1 million related to capitalized software, has been recorded as those assets have been deemed to be unrecoverable. During fiscal 2001, the Company made the decision to reorganize Anatel and focus on a limited number of products. In connection with this decision, the Company recognized asset impairment charges of $3.2 million in fiscal 2001 attributable to certain assets of Anatel. The Company also decided to discontinue the sales of certain of its older and unprofitable product lines within its semi-conductor test equipment business in order to focus its resources on potential growth areas within this business. As a result, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $0.9 million in fiscal 2002 related to the impairment of purchased intangibles and other long-lived assets. The impairment charge is equal to the amount by which the assets’ carrying value exceeded the present value of their estimated discounted cash flows. Additionally, a pre-tax charge of $3.6 million related to excess and obsolete test equipment inventory, as well as a pre-tax charge of $0.8 million related to capitalized software, were recorded in fiscal 2002 as those assets were deemed to be unrecoverable. The Company also incurred immaterial costs related to involuntary terminations and other related activities. The entire amount of each charge has been recorded within the cost of sales section of the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The inventory reserve established in fiscal year 2002 and in fiscal year 2001, as part of the activities noted above, totaled $5.7 million. A total of $1.3 million of this inventory was scrapped and charged to the reserve during fiscal 2002.

 

Research and development expenses were $39.1 million in fiscal 2002, or 13% of total revenue, compared to $39.6 million or 11% of total revenue in fiscal 2001. Research and development expenses remained unchanged in fiscal 2002 even though revenue decreased for the period, as the Company continues the development of health and security imaging systems.

 

Selling and marketing expenses were $32.5 million in fiscal 2002, compared to $32.6 in fiscal 2001. Although selling and marketing expenses remained unchanged while revenue declined, the Company continues to expand its activities in the end user market primarily through the Company’s subsidiaries Camtronics and B-K Medical. The percentage of selling and marketing expenses to total revenue increased to 11% in fiscal 2002 from 9% in fiscal 2001, due to lower revenue for the period.

 

17


General and administrative expenses were $29.3 million in fiscal 2002, compared to $32.8 million in fiscal 2001. The decrease of $3.5 million was primarily due to the Company’s cost reduction and containment initiatives, including reductions in staff and discretionary expenditures. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administrative expenses were 10% in fiscal 2002 and 9% in fiscal 2001.

 

Computer software costs of $2.4 million and $3.6 million were capitalized in fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively. Amortization of capitalized software costs amounted to $1.8 million and $1.6 million in fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively, and is included in the product cost of sales.

 

Interest income for fiscal 2002 was $4.4 million compared to $5.6 million for fiscal 2001. The decrease of $1.2 million was primarily the result of lower interest rates on short-term investments.

 

The Company recorded income related to equity in unconsolidated affiliates of $0.6 million in fiscal 2002 compared to income of $1.9 million in fiscal 2001. The decrease of $1.3 million was due to a loss recognized from its investment in Shenzen Anke High-Tech Co., Ltd in fiscal 2002.

 

The effective tax rate for fiscal 2002 was 21% compared to 29% in fiscal 2001. The decrease was due primarily to the higher percentage impact related to the benefit realized from tax exempt interest on a lower dollar base of pretax income, when compared to 2001.

 

Net income for fiscal 2002 was $3.0 million compared to $13.6 million in fiscal 2001. Net income for fiscal 2002 included an asset impairment pre-tax charge of $8.9 million related to the writedown of certain assets of the Company’s telecommunications subsidiary Anatel and the Company’s Test and Measurement Division. Net income in fiscal 2001 included an asset impairment pre-tax charge of $3.2 million related to Anatel. Basic earnings per share were $0.23 in fiscal 2002 compared to $1.05 for fiscal 2001. Diluted earnings per share were $0.23 in fiscal 2002 compared to $1.04 for fiscal 2001.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $178.0 million and $181.8 million at July 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Working capital was $246.5 million and $214.2 million at July 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company was able to maintain cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $178.0 million at July 31, 2003 due primarily to positive cash flow resulting from fiscal year 2003 net income of $49.5 ,million and depreciation expense of $20.2 million offset by reductions in cash flow from business acquisitions of $12.8 million, additions to property, plant and equipment of $16.4 million, and net operating assets and liabilities of $39.5 million. The Company’s balance sheet reflects a current ratio of 3.8 to 1 at July 31, 2003 compared to 2.9 to 1 at July 31, 2002. Liquidity is sustained principally through funds provided from operations, with short-term time deposits and marketable securities available to provide additional sources of cash.

 

The Company faces exposure to financial market risks, including adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial results. The Company’s primary exposure has been related to local currency revenue and operating expenses in Canada and Europe.

 

The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and trade payables approximate fair value at July 31, 2003 due to the short maturities of these instruments.

 

The Company maintains a bond investment portfolio of various issuers, types, and maturities. This portfolio is classified on the balance sheet as either cash and cash equivalents or marketable securities, depending on the lengths of time to maturity from original purchase. Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the time of purchase. Investments having maturities from the time of

 

18


purchase in excess of three months are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are classified as available for sale. A rise in interest rates could have an adverse impact on the fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio. The Company does not currently hedge these interest rate exposures.

 

Cash flow provided from operations was $35.4 million in fiscal 2003, $94.8 million in fiscal 2002 and $27.5 million in fiscal 2001. The decrease in cash flows from operations in fiscal 2003 over fiscal 2002 of $59.4 million, was primarily the result of a decrease in advance payments and deferred revenues consisting primarily of a $50.6 million advance received for the purchase of certain long-lead-time components in the prior fiscal year related to the Company’s EXACT contract, a decrease in accounts receivable of $9.2 million due to increased collections efforts partially offset by an increase in net income for the year. The increase in cash flow from operations in fiscal 2002 over 2001 was primarily the result of an increase in advance payments and deferred revenues consisting primarily of $50.6 million in advance receivable for the purchase of certain long-lead-time components and $7.9 million of ramp-up monies related to the Company’s EXACT contract.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $18.1 million in fiscal 2003, compared to $15.0 million in fiscal 2002 and $8.0 million in fiscal 2001. The cash used in fiscal 2003 was primarily due to investments in Sound Technology Inc. of $9.9 million, VMI Medical of $1.1 million, FTNI of $1.8 million and PhotoDetection Systems Inc. of $6.0 million; partially offset by $3.3 million of proceeds from the sale of the property, plant and equipment, primarily due to $3.2 million from the sale of a building located in Peabody, Massachusetts.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.8 million in fiscal 2003, versus net cash used for financing activities of $3.1 million and $2.8 million in fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2001. The cash provided in fiscal 2003 was primarily due to $5.5 million received from the issuance of shares upon the exercise of stock options and under the employee stock purchase plan, partially offset by $4.3 million of dividends paid to shareholders.

 

The Company’s contractual obligations at July 31, 2003, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on liquidity and cash flows in future periods are as follows (in thousands):

(1) Mortgage and capital lease contractual obligations include both principal and associated interest costs.

 

(2) Lease costs associated with the Haverhill facility will be funded by ramp-up monies previously received by the Company in connection with the EXACT system order.

 

(3) Other commitments represent commitments to suppliers for the production of raw materials and inventory components related to the EXACT system order.

 

The Company currently has approximately $30.0 million in revolving credit facilities with various banks available for direct borrowings. There were no direct borrowings in fiscal 2003 or in fiscal 2002. However, the Company has guaranteed through a provision of a credit facility with its principal bank the debt owed by Cedara to its bank lender through a provision of a credit facility for approximately $10.7 million.

 

19


The Company believes that its balances of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and cash flows expected to be generated by future operating activities will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements far in excess of the next 12 months.

 

Impact of Inflation

 

Overall, inflation has not had a material impact on the Company’s operations during the past three fiscal years.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit of Disposal Activities” (“SFAS No. 146”). SFAS No. 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (“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)” (“EITF 94-3”) the principal difference between SFAS No. 146 and EITF 94-3 relates to its requirements for recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity. SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF 94-3, a liability for an exit cost as defined in EITF 94-3 was recognized at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan. Therefore, SFAS No. 146 eliminates the definition and requirements for recognition of exit costs in EITF 94-3. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 and, have been adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2003.

 

In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on issue 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“EITF 00-21”). EITF 00-21 addresses revenue recognition on arrangements encompassing multiple elements that are delivered at different points in time, defining criteria that must be met for elements to be considered to be a separate unit of accounting. If an element is determined to be a separate unit of accounting, the revenue for the element is recognized at the time of delivery. EITF 00-21 is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company does not expect that the pronouncement will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” (“FIN 46”). FIN 46 requires that if an entity has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities and results of activities of the variable interest entity should be included in the consolidated financial statements of the entity. FIN 46 is effective immediately for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to January 31, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. In October 2003 the FASB deferred the effective date for applying the provision of FIN 46 until the first interim or annual period ending after December 15, 2003. The Company is still assessing the impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

On April 30, 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“Statement 149”). Statement 149 is intended to result in more consistent reporting of contracts as either freestanding derivative instruments subject to Statement 133 in its entirety, or as hybrid instruments with debt host contracts and embedded derivative features. In addition, Statement 149 clarifies the definition of a derivative by providing guidance on the meaning of initial net investments related to derivatives. Statement 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The Company does not expect that the pronouncement will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

20


On May 15, 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” (“Statement 150”). Statement 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring as liabilities certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the issuer and have characteristic of both liabilities and equity. Statement 150 represents a significant change in practice in the accounting for a number of financial instruments, including mandatory redeemable equity instruments and certain equity derivatives that frequently are used in connection with share repurchase programs. The Company does not use such instruments in our share repurchase program. Statement 150 is effective for all financial instruments created or modified after May 31, 2003, and to other instruments as of September 1, 2003. The Company does not expect that the pronouncement will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

Business Environment and Risk Factors

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains statements, which, to the extent that they are not recitation of historical facts, constitute “forward-looking statements” pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements, including statements about product development, market and industry trends, strategic initiatives, regulatory approvals, sales, profits, expenses, price trends, research and development expenses and trends, and capital expenditures involve risk and uncertainties and actual events and results may differ significantly from those indicated in any forward-looking statements as a result of a number of important factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere herein.

 

Risk Factors

 

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

 

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

 

We depend on a small number of customers for a large portion of our business, and changes in our customers’ orders may have a significant impact on our operating results. If a major customer significantly reduces the amount of business it does with us, there would be an adverse impact on our operating results. The following table sets forth the percentages of our net product and engineering revenue for our three largest customers in any of the last three fiscal years and the percentage of our total net sales to our ten largest customers in those years:

 

     Year Ended July 31,

 
     2003

    2002

    2001

 

L-3 Communication

   43 %   9 %   1 %

General Electric

   9 %   12 %   11 %

Toshiba

   7 %   5 %   7 %

Philips

   4 %   18 %   23 %

Ten largest customers as a group

   77 %   67 %   63 %

 

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

 

21


In addition, we generate significant accounts receivable in connection with the products we sell and the services we provide to our major customers. Although our major customers are large corporations, if one or more of our customers were to become insolvent or otherwise be unable to pay for our services, our operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

 

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

 

We operate in a highly competitive industry. We are subject to competition based upon product design, performance, pricing, quality and services and we believe our innovative engineering and product reliability have been important factors in our growth. While we try to maintain competitive pricing on those products which are directly comparable to products manufactured by others, in many instances our products will conform to more exacting specifications and carry a higher price than analogous products manufactured by others.

 

Our competitors include divisions of some larger, more diversified organizations as well as several specialized companies. Some of them have greater resources and larger staffs than we have. Many of our OEM customers and potential OEM customers have the capacity to design and manufacture the products we manufacture for themselves. We face competition from research and product development groups and the manufacturing operations of our current and potential customers, who continually evaluate the benefits of internal research and product development and manufacturing versus outsourcing.

 

We depend on our suppliers, some of which are the sole source for our components, and our production would be substantially curtailed if these suppliers are not able to meet our demands and alternative sources are not available.

 

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

 

If we are left with excess inventory, our operating results will be adversely affected.

 

Because of long lead times and specialized product designs, we typically purchase components and manufacture products for customer orders or in anticipation of customer orders based on customer forecasts. For a variety of reasons, such as decreased end-user demand for the products we are manufacturing, our customers might not purchase all the products we have manufactured or for which we have purchased components. In either event, we would attempt to recoup our materials and manufacturing costs by means such as returning components to our vendors, disposing of excess inventory through other channels or requiring our OEM customers to purchase or otherwise compensate us for such excess inventory. Some of our significant customer agreements do not give us the ability to require our OEM customers to do this. To the extent we are unsuccessful in recouping our material and manufacturing costs, not only would our net sales be adversely affected, but also

 

22


our operating results would be disproportionately adversely affected. Moreover, carrying excess inventory would reduce the working capital we have available to continue to operate and grow our business.

 

Uncertainties and adverse trends affecting our industry or any of our major customers may adversely affect our operating results.

 

Our business depends primarily on a specific segment of the electronics industry, medical and security imaging technology products, which is subject to rapid technological change and pricing and margin pressure. This industry has historically been cyclical and subject to significant downturns characterized by diminished product demand, rapid declines in average selling prices and production over-capacity. In addition, changes in government policy relating to reimbursement for the purchase and use of medical and security related capital equipment could also affect our sales. Our customers’ markets are also subject to economic cycles and are likely to experience recessionary periods in the future. The economic conditions affecting our industry in general, or any of our major customers in particular, might adversely affect our operating results. Our businesses outside the medical instrumentation and security technology product sectors are subject to the same or greater technological and cyclical pressures.

 

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

 

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

 

Our business strategy involves the pursuit of acquisitions or business combinations, which may be difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value or divert management attention.

 

As part of our business strategy, we may consummate additional acquisitions or business combinations. Acquisitions are typically accompanied by a number of risks, including the difficulty of integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired companies, the potential disruption of our ongoing business and distraction of management, expenses related to the acquisition and potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired businesses.

 

If we are not successful in completing acquisitions that we may pursue in the future, we may have incurred substantial expenses and devoted significant management time and resources in seeking to complete proposed acquisitions that will not generate benefits for us. In addition, substantial portions of our available cash might be utilized as consideration for these acquisitions.

 

Our annual and quarterly operating results are subject to fluctuations, which could affect the market price of our Common Stock.

 

Our annual and quarterly results may vary significantly depending on various factors, many of which are beyond our control, and may not meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors. If this occurs, the price of our Common Stock would likely decline. These factors include:

 

  variations in the timing and volume of customer orders relative to our manufacturing capacity;

 

  introduction and market acceptance of our customers’ new products;

 

23


  changes in demand for our customers’ existing products;

 

  the timing of our expenditures in anticipation of future orders;

 

  effectiveness in managing our manufacturing processes;

 

  changes in competitive and economic conditions generally or in our customers’ markets;

 

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

 

  foreign currency exposure; and

 

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

 

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

 

Loss of any of our key personnel could hurt our business because of their industry experience and their technological expertise.

 

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

 

If we are unable to maintain our technological expertise in research and product development and manufacturing processes, we will not be able to successfully compete.

 

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

 

One stockholder has a substantial interest in Analogic

 

As of August 31, 2003, the Bernard M. Gordon Charitable Remainder Unitrust owned approximately 17% of Analogic’s outstanding Common Stock. Bernard M. Gordon, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Executive Chairman of Analogic, and Julian Soshnick, Vice President of Analogic, serve as trustees of this trust and have full power to vote or dispose of the shares held by the trust. The trust, based on its ownership interest in Analogic, has the ability to exert substantial influence over the actions of Analogic.

 

Item 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

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

 

24


The Company maintains a bond investment portfolio of various issuers, types, and maturities. The Company’s cash and investments include cash equivalents, which the Company considers to be investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less. Investments having original maturities in excess of three months are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are classified as available for sale. Total interest income for fiscal 2003 was $5,035. An interest rate change of 10% would not have a material impact to the fair value of the portfolio or to future earnings.

 

The Company’s three largest customers in fiscal 2003, each of which is a significant and valued customer, were L-3 Communications, General Electric and Toshiba which accounted for approximately 43.1%, 9.0%, and 6.6%, respectively, of product and engineering revenue for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003. Loss of any one of these customers would have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business.

 

Item 8.    Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

 

The financial statements and supplementary data are listed under Part IV, Item 15 in this Report.

 

Item 9.    Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

None

 

Item 9A.    Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of July 31, 2003. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applied its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of July 31, 2003, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were (1) designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report was being prepared and (2) effective, in that they provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that is files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

 

No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2003 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Subsequent to July 31, 2003, in the course of the preparation and audit of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003, the Company identified certain transactions that had been accounted for utilizing incorrect accounting standards. The Company has amended its Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2001 and 2002, and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for each of the quarters within the fiscal years ended July 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003 to reflect the appropriate accounting for these transactions, and has implemented improvements to its controls and procedures to prevent a reoccurrence of such issues.

 

Because the improvements to its controls and procedures were implemented subsequent to July 31, 2003, they will be disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 31, 2003, rather than as part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Notes to Compensation Table (continued)

 

(A) Represents car allowances for all executive officers.

 

(B)

Represents stock grants under the Company’s Key Employee Stock Bonus Plans, pursuant to which Common Stock of the Company may be granted to key employees to encourage them to exert their best efforts on behalf of the Company. Each recipient of the Common Stock pursuant to the Bonus Plan is required to execute a noncom petition agreement in a form satisfactory to the Company. The Bonus Plan is

administered by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors consisting of the Chairman of the Board and three other Directors who are not eligible to participate in the Bonus Plan. Generally, the Common Stock granted pursuant to the Bonus Plan is not transferable for a period of three years from the date of the grant and is subject to a risk of forfeiture in the event that the recipient leaves the employ of the Company during this period for any reason. Generally, during the subsequent four-year period, the transfer restrictions will lapse with respect to 25% of the Common Stock for each year the recipient remains in the employ of the Company. Failure to remain in the Company’s employ during all of the subsequent four-year period will result in a forfeiture of shares as to which restrictions on disposition still exist. The Common Stock granted pursuant to the Bonus Plan is held in escrow by the Company until such restrictions on disposition lapse. However, while in escrow, the recipient has the right to vote such shares of Common Stock and to receive any cash dividends thereon. The Board of Directors, acting upon the recommendation of the Stock Bonus Plan Committee, may at the time of grant designate a different schedule upon which the transfer restrictions lapse.

 

(C) The following table reflects stock bonus awards for which transfer restrictions had not yet lapsed as of July 31, 2003.

Stock Option Grants in Last Fiscal Year

 

The following table sets forth information concerning individual grants of options to purchase the Company’s Common Stock made during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003 to those executive officers named in the table set forth under the heading “Summary Compensation Table” above. Amounts described in the following table under the heading “Potential Realizable Value at Assumed Annual Rates of Stock Price Appreciation for Option Term” represent hypothetical gains that could be achieved for the options if exercised at the end of the option term. These gains are based on assumed rates of stock appreciation of 5% and 10% compounded annually from the date the options were granted to their expiration date. Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises will depend upon the further performance of Analogic common stock and the date on which the options are exercised.

Compensation of Directors

 

Each Director who is not an employee of the Company is entitled to an annual fee of $15,000 plus a fee of $1,000 per meeting for each meeting of the Board or any Board Committee attended by him, together with reimbursement of travel expenses under certain circumstances. In addition, each director who serves as a chairman of a committee and is not an employee of the Company is entitled to an annual fee of $3,000.

 

In June 1996, the Board of Directors adopted and the stockholders approved at the January 1997 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the 1997 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “1997 Plan”). Pursuant to the 1997 Plan, options to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock may be granted only to directors of the Company or any subsidiary who are not employees of the Company or any subsidiary. The exercise price of options granted under the 1997 Plan is the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. The 1997 Plan provides each new non-employee Director who is elected to the Board shall be granted an option to acquire 5,000 shares, effective as of the date he or she is first elected to the Board.

 

The 1997 Plan is administered by members of the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

Every four (4) years from the date on which a non-employee Director was last granted a non-employee Director option, that non-employee Director shall be granted an option to acquire 5,000 shares, effective as of the date of that fourth anniversary.

 

30


Options granted under the 1997 Plan become exercisable in three equal annual installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, and expire 10 years after the date of grant. There were no options granted under this plan in fiscal 2003.

 

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

 

The members of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors during fiscal 2003 were Mr. Voboril, Dr. Wilson and Dr. Steinhauer. No executive officer of the Company has served as a director or member of the Compensation Committee of any other company whose executive officers serve as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.

Item 13.    Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

 

Mr. Bernard M. Gordon owns a 48% interest and Mr. Bernard L. Friedman, the Company’s former Vice Chairman of the Board (Mr. Friedman resigned on July 31, 1993), owns a 52% interest in a limited partnership (Audubon Realty), which owns a facility located at 360 Audubon Road, Wakefield, Massachusetts, which is leased by the Company for a term which will expire on January 31, 2004. This facility has been utilized by the Company for manufacturing and office space since May 1, 1981. The annual rent for this facility is $398,000. The Wakefield facility is leased on a net lease basis, and accordingly the Company pays, in addition to the above rental payments, all taxes, maintenance, insurance, and other costs relating to the leased premises. The Company does not intend to renew this lease.

 

The terms of the lease agreement, at the time it was executed, were at least as favorable as those that could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties. Prior to execution of such lease, two independent appraisals were obtained in order to establish the fair market rate for subject premises. A rent, in each case discounted below the fair market rate established by the appraisals, was then agreed upon by the parties.

 

The lease incorporated periodic rent escalation clauses, based upon the Consumer Price Index. At the present time, the rent that the Company is paying under the Wakefield, Massachusetts lease reflects fair rental value for the property.

 

See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information as to the leases.

 

On July 29, 2003, the Company sold to 6 Centennial LLC, a modern two story office building containing a total of approximately 49,000 square feet of manufacturing and office space. The building is located in Peabody, Massachusetts adjacent to the Company’s principal executive offices. The sale price was $3.15 million. The building had been leased to unrelated third parties tenants since its acquisition by the Company in 1993. 6 Centennial LLC is a Massachusetts limited liability company wholly-owned by the Bernard Gordon Charitable Remainder Unitrust, of which the trustees are Bernard M. Gordon, the Company’s Chairman of the Board, and Julian Soshnick, the Company’s Vice President. An independent appraisal obtained by the Company prior to the sale established the fair market value of the property at $3.2 million. The Company paid no broker’s fee in connection with the sale. The Company realized a gain of $1.6 million on the sale of this property.

 

During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003, the Company paid to M. Ross Brown, a director of the Company, a total of $47,000 in consulting fees for services rendered in connection with the 100,000 square foot addition being made to the Company’s headquarters and certain renovations and refurbishment of the Company’s hotel to be performed by a Marriott subsidiary.

In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) present fairly, in all material respects, the information set fourth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

ANALOGIC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands except share and per share data)

 

1. Summary of business operations and significant accounting policies:

 

Business operations:

 

Analogic Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Analogic” or the “Company”) are engaged primarily in the design, manufacture and sale of high technology, high performance, high-precision data acquisition, conversion (analog/digital) and signal processing instruments and systems to customers that manufacture products for medical and industrial use. The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the medical instrumentation technology industry, including, but not limited to, development by its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, loss of any significant customer, protection of proprietary technology, and compliance with regulations of domestic and foreign regulatory authorities and agencies.

 

Significant accounting policies:

 

(a) Principles of consolidation:

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. Investments in companies in which ownership interests range from 19 to 50 percent and/or the Company exercises significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. Other investments are accounted for using the cost method. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

(b) Basis of presentation:

 

Certain prior years’ financial statement items have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

(c) Inventories:

 

The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Management assesses the recoverability of inventory based on types and levels of inventory held, forecasted demand and changes in technology. These assessments require management judgments and estimates, and valuation adjustments for excess and obsolete inventory may be recorded based on these assessments. A reserve of $10,438 and $17,182 was recorded in fiscal years 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

(d) Property, plant and equipment:

 

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Assets under capital leases and leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the term of the respective leases or the life of the improvements. Upon retirement or disposal, the cost of the asset disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in income. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense while the cost of significant improvements, which extend the life of the underlying asset, are capitalized.

 

41


ANALOGIC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(in thousands except per share data)

 

The annual provisions for depreciation and amortization have been computed in accordance with the following ranges of estimated useful lives:

 

Buildings

   35 years

Property under capital lease

   5 to 22 years

Manufacturing equipment

   4 to 7 years

Furniture, fixtures and computer equipment

   4 to 8 years

Leasehold and capital lease improvements

   life of lease

Motor vehicles

   3 years

 

Interest is capitalized in connection with the in-house construction of fixed assets. The capitalized interest is recorded as part of the asset to which it relates and is amortized over the asset’s estimated useful life.

 

(e) Revenue recognition and accounts receivable:

 

The Company recognizes the majority of its revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 101”). Revenue related to product sales is recognized upon shipment provided that title and risk of loss has passed to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the sales price is fixed or determinable, collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured and customer acceptance criteria, if any, have been successfully demonstrated. For product sales with acceptance criteria that are not successfully demonstrated prior to shipment, revenue is recognized upon customer acceptance provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Hardware maintenance revenues are recognized ratably over the life of the contracts. For business units that sell software licenses, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the AICPA’s Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition.” The application of SOP 97-2 requires judgment, including whether a software arrangement includes multiple elements, and if so, whether vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value exists for those elements. License revenue is recognized upon delivery, provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, no significant obligations with regards to installation or implementation remain, fees are fixed or determinable, collectibility is reasonably assured and customer acceptance, when applicable, is obtained. Software maintenance revenues are recognized ratably over the life of the contracts. Software maintenance revenues are recognized at the time the services are rendered. The Company provides engineering services to some of its customers on a contractual basis and recognizes revenue using the percentage of completion method. The Company estimates the percentage of completion on contracts with fixed fees on a monthly basis utilizing hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated hours to complete the project. If the Company does not have a sufficient basis to measure progress towards completion, revenue is recognized upon completion of the contract. When total cost estimates exceed revenues, the Company accrues for the estimated losses immediately. Shipping and handling costs, which are insignificant, are included in revenue. Revenue related to the hotel operations is recognized as services are performed.

 

The Company grants credit to domestic and foreign original equipment manufacturers, distributors and end users, and performs ongoing credit evaluations on its customer’s financial condition. The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific customer collections issues that have been identified.

 

Camtronics’ revenues are derived primarily from the sale of Digital Cardiac Information Systems. System sales revenues consist of the following components: computer software licenses, computer hardware, installation support, and sublicensed software. In addition, Camtronics generates revenues related to system sales for software support, hardware maintenance, training, consulting and other professional services.

Camtronics recognizes revenue in accordance with the provisions of SOP 97-2. SOP 97-2 requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple-elements to be allocated to each element based on the fair values of those elements or by use of the residual method. Under the residual method, revenue is recognized in a multiple-element arrangement when company-specific objective evidence of fair value exists for all of the undelivered elements in the arrangement, which is determined by the price charged when that element is sold separately (i.e. professional services, software support, hardware maintenance, hardware and sublicensed software), but does not exist for one or more of the delivered elements in the arrangement (i.e. software solutions). Specifically, Camtronics determines the fair value of the maintenance portion of the arrangement based on the renewal price of the maintenance charged to clients, professional services portion of the arrangement, other than installation services, based on hourly rates which Camtronics charges for these services when sold apart from a software license, and the hardware and sublicensed software based on the prices for these elements when they are sold separately from the software. If evidence of the fair value cannot be established for the undelivered elements of a license agreement, the entire amount of revenue under the arrangement is deferred until these elements have been delivered or objective evidence of fair value for the remaining undelivered element is established.

 

Inherent in the revenue recognition process are significant management estimates and judgments, which influence the timing and the amount of revenue recognition. Camtronics provides several models for the procurement of its digital cardiac information systems. The predominant model includes a perpetual software license agreement, project-related installation services, professional consulting services, computer hardware and sub-licensed software and software support.

 

Camtronics provides installation services, which include project-scoping services, conducting pre-installation audits detailed installation plans, actual installation of hardware components, and testing of all hardware and software installed at the customer site. Because installation services are deemed to be essential to the functionality of the software, software license and installation services fees are recognized upon completion of installation.

 

Camtronics also provides professional consulting services, which include consulting activities that fall outside of the scope of the standard installation services. These services vary depending on the scope and complexity requested by the client. Examples of such services may include additional database consulting, system configuration, project management, interfacing to existing systems, and network consulting. Professional consulting services generally are not deemed to be essential to the functionality of the software, and thus, do not impact the timing of the software license revenue recognition. Professional consulting service revenue is recognized as the services are performed.

 

Hardware and software maintenance fees are marketed under annual and multi-year arrangements and are recognized as revenue ratably over the contracted maintenance term.

 

Deferred revenue is comprised of 1) license fee, maintenance and other service revenues for which payment has been received and for which services have not yet been performed and 2) revenues related to delivered components of a multiple-element arrangement for which fair value has not been determined for components not yet delivered or accepted by the customer. Deferred costs represent costs and related to these revenues; for example, costs of goods sold and services provided and sales commission expenses.

 

(f) Capitalized software costs:

 

Software development costs incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility through general release of the software products are capitalized in accordance to SFAS No. 86 “Accounting for the Costs of

 

43


ANALOGIC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(in thousands except per share data)

 

Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” Capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the economic lives of the related products, generally three years. Amortization expense was $3,541, $1,772 and $1,647 in fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively and is included in product cost of sales. The unamortized balance of capitalized software was $6,339 and $4,333 at July 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

(g) Warranty costs:

 

The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time products are shipped. Although the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, its warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates or service costs differ from the Company’s estimates, which are based on specific warranty claims, historical data and engineering estimates, where applicable, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required. Such revisions could adversely affect the Company’s operating results.

 

The Company warrants that its products will perform in all material respects in accordance with its standard published specification in effect at the time of delivery of the products to the customer for a period ranging from 12 to 18 months from the date of delivery.

 

(h) Research and product development costs:

 

Research and product development costs are expensed as incurred and include primarily engineering salaries, overhead and materials used in connection with research and development projects.

 

(i) Income taxes:

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets, subject to valuation allowances, and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of asset and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

(j) Net income per share:

 

Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and diluted common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of stock options and restricted stock.

 

(k) Cash and cash equivalents:

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at acquisition date to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents amounted to approximately $137,000 and $123,000 at July 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

(l) Concentration of risk:

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable. The Company places its

 

44


ANALOGIC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(in thousands except per share data)

 

cash investments and marketable securities in high credit quality financial instruments and by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. The Company grants credit to domestic and foreign original equipment manufacturers, distributors and end users, and performs ongoing credit evaluations on its customers’ financial condition.

 

The Company depends on a small number of customers for a large portion of its business, and changes in its customers’ orders may have a significant impact on the Company’s operating results. If a major customer significantly reduces the amount of business it does with us, there would be an adverse impact on the Company’s operating results. One export customer accounted for approximately $31,000 or 7% of total product and engineering revenue in fiscal 2003, while another export customer accounted for approximately $54,000 or 18% of total product and engineering revenue in fiscal 2002. Of the total product and engineering revenue, one domestic customer accounted for approximately $200,000 or 43% in fiscal 2003, while another domestic customer accounted for approximately $37,000 or 12% in fiscal 2002. The Company’s ten largest customers, including L-3 Communications, General Electric and Toshiba, accounted for approximately 77% of product and engineering revenue during fiscal 2003.

 

The Company recognized revenue from one customer in 2003 accounting for a total of 43% of total product and engineering revenue. The Company recognized revenue from two customers in 2002 accounting for a total of 18% and 12% of total product and engineering revenue. The Company recognized revenue from two customers in 2001 accounting for a total of 23% and 11% of total product and engineering revenue.

 

(m) Marketable securities:

 

The Company’s marketable securities are categorized as available-for-sale securities, as defined by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” Unrealized marketable securities gains and losses are reflected as a net amount under the caption of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses are recorded within the statement of income under the caption other income or expenses. For the purpose of computing realized gains and losses, cost is identified on a specific identification basis.

 

(n) New accounting pronouncements:

 

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit of Disposal Activities” (“SFAS No. 146”). SFAS No. 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (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).” The principal difference between SFAS No. 146 and EITF 94-3 relates to its requirements for recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity. SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF 94-3, a liability for an exit cost as defined in EITF 94-3 was recognized at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan. Therefore, SFAS No. 146 eliminates the definition and requirements for recognition of exit costs in EITF 94-3. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 and, therefore, has been adopted by the Company on January 1, 2003.

 

In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on issue 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“EITF 00-21”). EITF 00-21 addresses revenue recognition on arrangements encompassing

 

45


ANALOGIC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(in thousands except per share data)

 

multiple elements that are delivered at different points in time, defining criteria that must be met for elements to be considered to be a separate unit of accounting. If an element is determined to be a separate unit of accounting, the revenue for the element is recognized at the time of delivery. EITF 00-21 is effective for revenue arrangements entered into fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company does not expect that the pronouncement will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” (“FIN 46”). FIN 46 requires that if an entity has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities and results of activities of the variable interest entity should be included in the consolidated financial statements of the entity. FIN 46 is effective immediately for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to January 31, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. In October 2003 the FASB deferred the effective date for applying the provision of FIN 46 until the first interim or annual period ending after December 15, 2003. The Company is still assessing the impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

On April 30, 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” Statement 149 is intended to result in more consistent reporting of contracts as either freestanding derivative instruments subject to Statement 133 in its entirety, or as hybrid instruments with debt host contracts and embedded derivative features. In addition, Statement 149 clarifies the definition of a derivative by providing guidance on the meaning of initial net investments related to derivatives. Statement 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The Company does not expect that the pronouncement will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

On May 15, 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” Statement 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring as liabilities certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the issuer and have characteristic of both liabilities and equity. Statement 150 represents a significant change in practice in the accounting for a number of financial instruments, including mandatory redeemable equity instruments and certain equity derivatives that frequently are used in connection with share repurchase programs. The Company does not use such instruments in our share repurchase program. Statement 150 is effective for all financial instruments created or modified after May 31, 2003, and to other instruments as of September 1, 2003.

 

The Company does not expect that the pronouncement will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

(o) Use of estimates:

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Such management estimates include allowances for doubtful accounts receivable; provisions for inventory to reflect net realizable value; estimates of fair value for investments in privately held companies; goodwill and intangible assets; valuation allowances against deferred income tax assets; and accruals for product warranty, other liabilities, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(p) Comprehensive income:

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, (“SFAS 130”), “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. Components of comprehensive income include net income and certain transactions that have generally been reported in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity. Other comprehensive income consists of unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities and foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

(q) Stock-based compensation:

 

The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 (“SFAS 148”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, and amendment of FASB statement No. 123” in current fiscal year beginning with the quarter ended April 30, 2003. SFAS 148 amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation and also amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the methods of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.

 

As permitted by SFAS 148 and SFAS 123, the Company continues to apply the accounting provisions of the Accounting Principle Board (“APB”) No. 25, and related interpretations, with regard to the measurement of compensation cost for options granted under the Company’s equity compensation plans.

 

As permitted under current accounting standards, no compensation cost was recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the Company’s stock option plans. Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock-based compensation plans been recorded and applied in accordance with FAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and recognized ratably over the options’ vesting periods, the Company’s proforma information would have been as follows:

(r) Fair value of financial instruments:

 

The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, receivables, mortgages and other notes payable approximate fair value. The fair values of marketable securities are estimated based on quoted market price for these securities.

 

(s) Impairment of long-lived assets:

 

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets, primarily fixed assets, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, (“SFAS 144”), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. SFAS No. 144 requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets.

 

(t) Segment information:

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, (“SFAS 131”) establishes standards for reporting information on operating segments in interim and annual financial statements. The Company’s chief operation decision-makers review the profit and loss of the Company on an aggregate basis and manage the operation of the Company within two operating segments. The Company operates primarily within two segments within the electronics industry: Imaging Technology Products and Signal Processing Technology Products. Imaging technology Products consist primarily of electronic systems and subsystems for medical imaging equipment and advanced explosive detection systems. Signal Processing Technology Products consist of Analog to Digital (A/D) converters and supporting modules, and high-speed digital signal processors.

 

(u) Translation of foreign currencies:

 

The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, whose cash flows are primarily in their local currency, have been translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates at each balance sheet date. The operating results of these foreign subsidiaries have been translated at average exchange rates that prevailed during each reporting period. Adjustments resulting from translation of foreign currency financial statements are reflected as accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheet. Exchange gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions (transactions denominated in a currency other than that of the entities primary cash flow), excluding long-term intercompany receivables and investments, are included in operations in the period in which they occur. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses are included in the results of operations in other income, net. The Company had foreign exchange gains totaling $3,941 and $904 in 2003 and 2002, respectively, and foreign exchange losses totaling $263 in fiscal 2001.

 

2. Business combinations:

 

In October 2002, Anrad Corporation, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary located in Saint-Laurent, Quebec, purchased the remaining 52% of the outstanding common stock of FTNI, Inc. (“FTNI”) for $2,407 in cash. FTNI was founded by three Canadian companies in April 1997 to develop products for medical and industrial applications. Noranda Advanced Materials, which was one of the FTNI founders with a 48% ownership interest, was acquired by the Company in 1999 and renamed Anrad. With the purchase of the remaining shares of FTNI, Anrad has full ownership rights and access to FTNI’s basic technology and

 

48


ANALOGIC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(in thousands except per share data)

 

intellectual property. Upon completion of this transaction, Anrad’s total investment in FTNI amounted to approximately $2,746 of which approximately $2,019 was determined to be intellectual property and $727 represented the fair value of tangible net assets, primarily cash. The intellectual property will be amortized over its estimated useful life of five years. The supplemental pro-forma information disclosing the results of operations of the Company and FTNI on a combined basis has not been presented due to its immateriality.

 

On November 6, 2002, the Company’s newly formed subsidiary, Sound Technology, Inc. (“STI”), acquired certain assets and liabilities of the Sound Technology business unit, located in State College, PA, from Acuson Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Siemens Corporation, for approximately $10,100 in cash. STI produces linear and tightly curved array ultrasound transducers and probes for a broad range of clinical applications that are supplied to medical equipment companies worldwide. The Company’s acquisition cost of $10,100 was subsequently reduced by approximately $200 reflecting post-closing purchase price adjustments. As a result, the net investment of $9,900 consists of approximately $ 2,800 of tangible net assets acquired and approximately $7,100 of intellectual property and other intangible assets. The intellectual property and other intangible assets will be amortized over their estimated useful life of five years. The supplemental pro-forma information disclosing the results of operations of the Company and STI on a combined basis has not been presented due to its immateriality.

 

Also, on November 6, 2002, the Company’s subsidiary, Camtronics Medical Systems, Ltd., acquired all the shares of VMI Medical, Inc. (“VMI”), of Ottawa, Canada. VMI is a medical information software company specializing in clinical database, workflow automation and business improvement solutions for children’s heart centers. VMI was acquired for approximately $2,000 in cash, payable over a two year period, and future contingent consideration, which will be based upon the combined companies achieving certain performance criteria over specific time periods. The future contingent purchase price at the date of acquisition was estimated to range from $5,000-$7,000. The Company has not recognized this future contingent purchase price on its books as an investment or future liability. Once the contingency is resolved and the consideration is determinable, the Company will then record this purchase price adjustment. The Company paid $2,000 in cash related to the acquisition, assumed approximately $1,400 in net liabilities and acquired intellectual property valued at $3,400. The supplemental pro-forma information disclosing the results of operations of the Company and VMI on a combined basis has not been presented due to its immateriality.

4. Explosive Assessment Computed Tomography (“EXACT”) Systems Agreement:

 

The Company announced in April 2002 that it had entered into an agreement to supply up to 1,000 of its EXACT systems to L-3 Communications’ Security and Detection System division (“L-3”). The EXACT is the core system of L-3’s Examiner 3DX6000 certified Explosive Detection System that was purchased by the United States Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) and installed at major airports across the United States.

 

The Company recognized product revenue upon shipment of EXACT systems and spare parts to L-3, at which time all revenue recognition criteria have been met. During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company received firm orders from L-3 for 245 additional systems. These orders brought the total number of systems that had been ordered by L-3 for delivery to the TSA to 425. The Company shipped all 425 EXACT systems by December 31, 2002; 54 systems in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 and 371 systems in the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2003. In addition, in December 2002, the Company received a purchase order from L-3 to deliver an additional 75 EXACT systems during the remainder of fiscal 2003 for foreign and other anticipated orders. The Company shipped all of these systems as of July 31, 2003.

 

The Company recorded cash received from L-3 for the purchase of long-lead-time inventory components as advance payments within the liabilities section of the balance sheet. These payments are not recognized as revenue until the systems for which the inventory components relate to have been shipped. As of July 31, 2003, the Company had no remaining balance recorded within advance payments related to long-lead purchases.

 

The agreement also provided for the Company to receive $22,000 of ramp-up funds for the purpose of leasing and fitting up a facility and ensuring the availability of key critical raw material and inventory components from suppliers to meet the production and volume requirements of this contract. These costs incurred and assets purchased have been fully reimbursed by L-3. The Company has not recorded any revenues, costs or assets related to these ramp-up funds. All cash received for ramp-up activities is recorded within the advance payments and deferred revenue account within the liability section of the balance sheet. These liabilities are reduced as the cash is spent on these activities. As of July 31, 2003, the Company had a balance of $3,650 of unexpended ramp-up funds recorded within the advance payments and deferred revenue account.

 

In addition to the $22,000 of ramp-up funds provided by L-3 on behalf of the TSA, the Company has spent approximately $5,700 of its own funds for the purchase of manufacturing and office equipment, which was capitalized during fiscal year 2003.

6. Goodwill and intangible assets:

 

As of August 1, 2002, Analogic adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”). Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and certain other intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but instead are reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company was required to perform a transitional impairment assessment of goodwill within six months of adoption of this standard. SFAS No. 142 requires that the Company identify its reporting units and determine the carrying value of each of those reporting units by assigning assets and liabilities, including existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units. The Company assigned the entire balance of goodwill to Imaging Technology Products for the purpose of performing the transitional impairment test. The Company completed its transitional impairment assessment of goodwill on October 31, 2002, and determined that goodwill was not impaired. The Company will perform its assessment of goodwill annually on October 31.

 

Goodwill increased from $258 at July 31, 2002 to $3,596 at July 31, 2003 due to the goodwill arising from the acquisition of 100% of VMI ($873), 19% of Cedara ($1,290), the remaining 52% of FTNI ($687) and the remaining 18% of Camtronics ($488). The entire goodwill balance is included within the Imaging Technology Products segment. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

 

The following table reflects the net income, as adjusted, of the Company, giving effect to SFAS No. 142 as if it were adopted on August 1, 2001:

7. Investment in and advances to affiliated companies:

 

The Company has a 44.6% equity ownership interest in Shenzhen Anke High-Tech Co., Ltd (SAHCO) located in The People’s Republic of China. During fiscal 2003 the Company recorded $1,125 as its share of losses in SAHCO, as compared to $1,320 in fiscal 2002. The carrying value of this investment was $840 at July 31, 2003, and $1,965 at July 31, 2002. During fiscal 2003 the Company recorded a provision for bad debt of $1,587 for certain old invoices from SAHCO, which the Company deemed uncollectible. At July 31, 2003 and 2002, net receivable from this affiliate were $963 and $4,092 respectively. Sales to SAHCO for fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001 were approximately $3,677, $4,037 and$3,237, respectively.

 

The Company along with another investor each owned a 50% interest in a private company for the design and development of medical imaging equipment. Upon completion of the research and development phase, the private company sold its intellectual property in the form of a license to a newly formed limited liability company called Enhanced CT Technology LLC (“ECTT”), distributed its assets to the Company and the other original investor, and ceased operations. The Company, in conjunction with the other original investor, retains a 50% interest in ECTT, which will receive license related royalties based upon future sales of medical imaging equipment. The Company accounted for this distribution of assets at historical cost and will continue to account for this investment using the equity method of accounting. The Company’s share of profit in the newly formed limited partnership was $159 in fiscal 2003 and $1,429 in fiscal 2002. In addition, ECTT made a cash distribution in the form of return on investment to its owners of $516 and $2,302 in fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. The carrying value of the Company’s investment in ECTT was $0 and $357 at July 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

On May 21, 2003, the Company acquired 1,251,313 shares of Series B Convertible Participating Preferred Stock for an equity interest of approximately 11% in PhotoDetection Systems, Inc. (“PDS”) of Acton, Massachusetts. PDS, a privately held company, has developed proprietary detection systems for high-performance Position Emission Tomography (“PET”), a rapidly growing medical diagnostic imaging modality. PET scanning is a tool in the diagnosis and management of cancer, specifically for detecting early-stage tumors and determining tissue characteristics before and after treatment. In addition the Company also received a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1,367 and an exclusive license of PDS technology for non-PET products. The convertible promissory note is convertible by the Company into 1,025,559 shares of Series B Convertible Participating Preferred Stock. If converted, the Company’s equity interest would increase by 9%. Upon PDS achieving certain milestones, the exclusive license of PDS technology will revert back to PDS and the Company will receive a warrant for the purchase of 2,250,563 shares of Series B Convertible Participating Preferred Stock. The exercise of this warrant would increase the Company’s equity interest by 20%. The Company, in connection with this transaction, expended a total of $6,035 in cash. The Company’s current equity interest, the potential conversion of the promissory note into Series B Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, and the potential reversion of its exclusive technology license to PDS for the warrant could potentially result in the Company having a 40% equity interest in PDS. Additionally, under certain circumstances in the future, the Company may at its discretion, or may be required to, purchase the remaining 60% equity at its then fair value. The Company has three of the seats on PDS’s seven-person board of directors. The Company accounts for this investment under the equity method due to the Company’s ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies.

 

In September 2001, the Company acquired 19% interest in Cedara Software Corporation of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, in return for an equity investment of $7.5 million and other considerations. Cedara is a premier independent provider of imaging software technology and custom imaging software development to leading Original Equipment Manufactures (OEMs) in the healthcare industry. Cedara enables healthcare solution providers to integrate better imaging software into their systems and hardware in such fields as Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Analogic has guaranteed the debt owed by Cedara to its bank lender through the provision of a credit facility with Analogic’s principal bank for approximately $10.7 million. Analogic has two of the seats on Cedara’s seven person board of directors. As part of the Company’s original investment agreement, Cedara agreed to grant the Company preemptive rights whereby it has the right to maintain a 19% equity interest in the event of certain future issuances of stock by Cedara. On May 3, 2002 the Company acquires an additional 580,641 shares of common stock of Cedara for approximately $0.9 million to maintain the Company’s equity interest at 19%.

Although these stock options were antidilutive in fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001, they may be dilutive in future years’ calculations.

9.  Commitments and guarantees:

 

During the third quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company commenced the construction of a 100,000 square foot addition to its headquarters building in Peabody, Massachusetts. This two-story addition will enable the Company to further consolidate its existing Massachusetts operations and to expand production capacity for its medical and security imaging system business. The building including fit-up is estimated to cost approximately $12,500 and will be financed by internally generated cash.

 

In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued FIN No. 45 “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34” (“FIN 45”). FIN 45 requires a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken by issuing the guarantee. FIN 45 also requires additional disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees it has issued. The accounting requirements for the initial recognition of guarantees are applicable on a prospective basis for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements are effective for all guarantees outstanding, regardless of when they were issued or modified, for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The following is a summary of agreements that the Company determined are within the scope of FIN 45.

 

The Company has agreements whereby it indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was serving, at the Company’s request in such capacity. The term of the indemnification period is for the officer’s or director’s lifetime. The potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. Also, to the extent permitted by Massachusetts law, the Company’s Articles of Organization, require the Company to indemnify directors of the Company and the Company’s by-laws require the Company to indemnify the present or former directors and officers of the Company, ANALOGIC and also permit indemnification of other employees and agents of the Company for whom the Board of Directors from time to time authorizes indemnification. In no instance, however, will indemnification be granted to a director otherwise entitled thereto who is determined to have (a) committed a breach of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (b) committed acts or omissions not in good faith or which involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, or (c) derived any improper personal benefit in connection with a particular transaction. Because no claim for indemnification has been made by any person covered by said agreements, and/or the relevant provisions of the Company’s Articles or By-laws, the Company believes that its estimated exposure for these indemnification obligations is currently minimal.

 

Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these indemnity agreements and requirements as of July 31, 2003.

 

The Company’s standard original equipment manufacturing and supply agreements entered in the ordinary course of business typically contain an indemnification provision pursuant to which the Company indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party in connection with any United States patent, or any copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to the Company’s products. Such provisions generally survive termination or expiration of the agreements. The potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is, in some instances, unlimited. The Company has never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, the Company

ANALOGIC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

(in thousands except per share data)

 

believes that its estimated exposure on these agreements is currently minimal. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of July 31, 2003.

 

In fiscal 2002, the Company acquired a 19% interest in Cedara Software Corporation (“Cedara”) of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. As part of the Company’s investment agreement, the Company has guaranteed certain debt owed by Cedara to its bank lender through the provision of a credit facility with the Company’s principal bank for approximately $10,700 based upon Cedara’s funding requirements. To date, no claims have been asserted against the Company in connection with the guarantee of Cedara’s debt. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded in connection with the Cedara guarantee as of July 31, 2003.

 

The Company warrants that its products will perform in all material respects in accordance with its standard published specification in effect at the time of delivery of the products to the customer for a period ranging from 12 to 18 months from the date of delivery. The Company provides for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims, claim history and engineering estimates, where applicable.

 

The following table summarizes the activities in the accrued product warranty reserve for the year ended July 31, 2003:

The Company currently has approximately $30.0 million in revolving credit facilities with various banks available for direct borrowings. There were no direct borrowings in fiscal 2003 or in fiscal 2002. However, the Company has guaranteed through a provision of a credit facility with its principal bank the debt owed by Cedara to its bank lender through a provision of a credit facility for approximately $10,700.

Total interest incurred amounted to $360, $359 and $348 in fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Of the total interest incurred $0, $0 and $108 was capitalized.

 

11.  Lease and other commitments with related and non-related third parties:

 

The Company leased three operating facilities from a partnership in which the Chairman and the former Vice Chairman are partners under leases that have been accounted for as capital leases. One of these leases will expire on January 31, 2004, and the other two leases expired on July 31, 2001. The lease expiring on January 31, 2004 will not be renewed. The leases contain rent escalation clauses based upon cost-of-living adjustments. The rent adjustments were not significant in fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001.

 

Property under capital leases is included in property, plant and equipment, as follows:

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries lease manufacturing and office space under non-cancelable operating leases. These leases contain renewal options. The Company leases certain other real property and equipment under operating leases which, in the aggregate, are not significant.

 

Rent expense associated with the Company’s operating leases was approximately $3,278, $1,986 and $1,423 (net of sublease income of $0, $0 and $872 in fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively).

12. Other (income) expense:

 

Other income consists primarily of interest income on short and long term marketable securities, gain or loss attributable to investments on unconsolidated affiliates, which the Company accounts for under the equity method, foreign exchange gains (losses) and income (loss) on the sale of property, plant and equipment. During FY 2003, the Company realized foreign exchange gains of $3,908 and a gain on sale of property, plant and equipment of $1,561.

 

13. Stock option and stock bonus plans:

 

At July 31, 2003, the Company has two key employee stock option plans (one of which has lapsed as to the granting of options), two key employee stock bonus plans, two non-employee director stock option plans, and one employee stock purchase plan.

 

Options granted under the two key employee stock option plans generally become exercisable in installments commencing no earlier than two years from the date of grant and no later than six years from the date of grant. Unexercised options expire up to seven years from date of grant. Options issued under the plans are non-qualified options or incentive stock options and are issued at prices of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant. Tax benefits from early disposition of the stock by optionees under incentive stock options, and from exercise of non-qualified options, are credited to capital in excess of par value. Options granted under the two non-employee director stock option plans become exercisable in equal installments over three years commencing one year from the date of grant and remain exercisable for ten years from the date of grant. Options issued under the plans are non-qualified options and are issued at prices of 100% of the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant.

 

Under the Company’s key employee stock bonus plans, common stock may be granted to key employees under terms and conditions as determined by the Board of Directors. Generally, participants under the stock bonus plans may not dispose or otherwise transfer stock granted for three years from date of grant. Stock granted under these plans generally vest in four equal installments beginning in the third year from the date of grant. Upon issuance of stock under the plans, unearned compensation equivalent to the market value at the date of grant is charged to stockholders’ equity and subsequently amortized over the periods during which the restrictions lapse (up to six years). Shares granted under the Company’s key employee stock bonus plan were 65,834 at a weighted average fair market value of $47.70 per share in fiscal 2003; 56,500 shares at a weighted average fair market value of $41.57 per share in fiscal 2002; and 89,000 shares at a weighted average fair market value of $41.61 per share in fiscal 2001. Amortization of unearned compensation of $1,476, and $1,054 and $976 was recorded in fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

 

Under the employee stock purchase plan, eligible participants are granted options to purchase the Company’s common stock twice a year at the lower of 85% of market value at the beginning or end of each period. Calculation of the number of options granted, and subsequent purchase of these shares, is based upon voluntary payroll deductions during each six-month period. The number of options granted to each employee under this plan, when combined with options issued under other plans, is limited to a maximum outstanding value of $25,000 during each calendar year. The number of shares issued pursuant to this plan totaled 8,768 in 2003, 8,654 in 2002 and 7,864 in 2001. The weighted average estimated fair value of employees stock purchase rights during fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001 was $13.46, $10.69 and $12.72 per share, respectively.

 

At July 31, 2003, 928,035 shares were reserved for grant under the above stock option, bonus and purchase plans.

Company contribution each year shall in no event exceed the maximum allowable under applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. All contributions vest immediately.

 

This Plan, as allowed under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, permits tax-deferred salary/wage deductions for eligible employees. Employees may contribute from 1% to 80% of the compensation to the Plan, limited to a maximum annual amount as determined by the Internal Revenue Service.

 

Beginning in fiscal 2001, the Company elected to match employee contributions on a dollar for dollar basis up to 3% of compensation for each participant. This continued through December 31, 2001. For the period from January 1, 2002 to July 31, 2002, the Company elected not to contribute to the Plan. For fiscal year 2003, the Company decided to contribute 5% of its net income, as defined, to the Plan. The Company’s contributions to the Plan totaled $2,556, $916, and $2,009 in fiscal years 2003, 2002, and 2001.

At July 31, 2003 the Company has a capital loss carryforward of $353, which expire in 2005.

 

The Company has foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1,667, which expire in 2010.

 

Management has determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will not recognize the benefit of certain foreign losses and as a result, a valuation allowance has been established at July 31, 2003.

 

The Company does not provide for U.S. federal income taxes on undistributed earnings of consolidated foreign subsidiaries as such earnings are intended to be indefinitely reinvested in those operations. Determination of the potential deferred income tax liability on these undistributed earnings is not practicable because such liability, if any, is dependent on circumstances existing if and when remittance occurs.
