Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note A - Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of II-VI Incorporated (sometimes referred to herein as “II-VI” or the “Company”) for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been included. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010. The consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The June 30, 2010 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet information was derived from our audited financial statements.

Note B - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard update related to revenue recognition under the milestone method. The objective of the accounting standard update is to provide guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions. This update is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In January 2010, the FASB issued amended standards requiring additional fair value disclosures. The amended standards require disclosures of transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as well as requiring gross basis disclosures for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements within the Level 3 reconciliation. Additionally, the update clarifies the requirement to determine the level of disaggregation for fair value measurement disclosures and to disclose valuation techniques and inputs used for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements in either Level 2 or Level 3. The Company adopted the new guidance in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, except for the disclosures related to purchases, sales, issuance and settlements, which will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Because these new standards are related primarily to disclosures, their adoption has not had and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements,” codified in ASC Topic 605. This update provides application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables should be separated and how the consideration should be allocated to one or more units of accounting. This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence, if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific nor third-party evidence is available. The Company was required to apply this guidance prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in the fiscal year beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance concerning the determination of the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). This new guidance amends current U.S. GAAP by: (i) requiring ongoing reassessments of

Table of Contents

whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE; (ii) amending the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of the VIE; (iii) modifying the guidance used to determine whether an entity is a VIE; (iv) adding an additional reconsideration event (e.g. troubled debt restructurings) for determining whether an entity is a VIE; and (v) requiring enhanced disclosures regarding an entity’s involvement with a VIE. This new guidance was effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of fiscal 2011, with earlier adoption prohibited. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note C - Acquisitions

Max Levy Autograph, Inc.

In December 2010, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Max Levy Autograph, Inc. (“MLA”), a privately held company based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for approximately $12.8 million, net of cash acquired. MLA manufactures micro-fine conductive mesh patterns for optical, mechanical and ceramic components for applications such as circuitry, metrology standards, targeting calibration and suppression of Electro-Magnetic Interference. Due to the close proximity of the acquisition to December 31, 2010, the allocation of the purchase price to goodwill is preliminary and subject to final determination of the fair market valuation of the assets acquired, including certain identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed. Preliminary goodwill of $9.7 million has been recorded at December 31, 2010. The results of MLA have been included in the Company’s results of operations in the Company’s Military & Materials segment since the date of acquisition. Pro-forma financial information has not been provided for the acquisition of MLA as it was not material to the Company’s overall financial results of operations.

Photop Technologies, Inc

In January 2010, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of Photop Technologies, Inc. (“Photop”), a privately held company based in Fuzhou, China. The results of Photop have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. Photop is a vertically integrated manufacturer of crystal materials, optics, microchip lasers for display applications and optical modules for use in fiber optic communication networks and other diverse consumer and commercial applications. As a result of the acquisition, the companies will combine efforts and enhance the collective expertise in crystal materials and optics. The Company expects to achieve synergies by utilizing the Company’s worldwide distribution network to distribute Photop’s products and to enhance crystal growth processes.

Under the terms of the agreement, the initial consideration for the acquisition was $45.6 million in cash and 1,145,852 shares of II-VI Incorporated Common Stock valued at $36.9 million. The fair value of the shares of II-VI Incorporated’s Common Stock used for the transaction was determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the acquisition date. In addition, the agreement provides up to $12.0 million of additional cash earnout opportunities based upon Photop achieving certain agreed upon financial targets in calendar years 2010 and 2011. The purchase price is summarized as follows ($000):

The cash earnout arrangements require the Company to pay $12.0 million of additional consideration to Photop’s former shareholders if Photop’s earnings and revenues for calendar years 2010 and 2011 exceed established targets. The fair value of the cash earnout arrangement at December 31, 2010 was $11.9 million of which $6.0 million of the amount is expected to be paid by March 31, 2011 and was recorded in other current accrued liabilities. The remaining liability of $5.9 million was recorded in other long-term liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated

Balance Sheets. The Company estimated the fair value of the cash earnout arrangements using a probability-weighted discount model and employed present value techniques. The fair value of these earnout arrangements was based on significant inputs not observable in the market and represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The key assumptions in applying the income approach are as follows: 0.41% and 0.93% discount rates for the calendar years 2010 and 2011 earnouts, respectively, and the assumed 100% probability of achieving the financial targets under these earnout arrangements.

This acquisition was accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 805: “Business Combinations” formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R. The following table presents the allocation of the purchase price of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition ($000):

For the acquisition of MLA in December 2010, the Company recorded the excess purchase price over the net assets of the business acquired as goodwill in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet based on the preliminary purchase price allocation. The Company intends to finalize its accounting for the acquisition of MLA by June 30, 2011.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The evaluation of impairment involves comparing the current fair value of the business to the recorded value (including goodwill). The Company uses a discounted cash flow model (“DCF model”) and a market analysis to determine the current fair value of the business. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the DCF model to forecasted operating cash flows, including markets and market shares, sales volume and pricing, costs to produce, working capital changes and income tax rates. Management considers historical experience and all available information at the time the fair values of the business are estimated. However, actual fair value that could be realized could differ from those used to evaluate the impairment of goodwill.

The Company had available $59.1 million under its line of credit as of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010. The amounts available under the Company’s line of credit are reduced by outstanding letters of credit. At December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, total outstanding letters of credit supported by the credit facilities were $0.9 million.

The Company has a Yen loan which allows for borrowings up to 600 million Yen ($7.4 million as of December 31, 2010). The Yen loan has a term through June 2012. At December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, the Company had 300 million Yen borrowed under the Yen loan. Interest is at a rate equal to the Japanese Yen Base Rate, as defined in the loan agreement, plus 1.49%. The Japanese Yen Base Rate was 0.43% and 0.90% at December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively.

Note J - Income Taxes

The Company’s year-to-date effective income tax rate at December 31, 2010 is 23.0% compared to an effective tax rate of 22.2% for the same period last fiscal year. The variation between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0% is primarily due to the consolidation of the Company’s foreign operations, which are subject to income taxes at lower statutory rates. A change in the mix of pretax income from these various tax jurisdictions could have a material impact on our periodic effective tax rate.

U.S. GAAP clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the gross unrecognized income tax benefits were $5.1 million and $3.7 million, respectively. The Company has classified the uncertain tax positions as non-current income tax liabilities, as the amounts are not expected to be paid within one year. If recognized, approximately $4.0 million of the gross unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2010 would impact the effective tax rate. The Company recognized interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax provision on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Included in the $5.1 million and $3.7 million gross unrecognized income tax benefit at December 30, 2010 and 2009, was $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of accrued interest and penalties. The Company expects a decrease of approximately $1.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations.

Fiscal years 2007 to 2010 remain open to examination by the United States Internal Revenue Service, fiscal years 2006 to 2010 remain open to examination by certain state jurisdictions, and fiscal years 2004 to 2010 remain open to examination by certain foreign taxing jurisdictions.

Note M - Segment Reporting

The Company reports its business segments using the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The Company determines its reportable business segments based on the way the chief operating decision maker organizes business segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. To aggregate operating segments, the Company considers whether the operating segments have similar economic characteristics, and whether the operating segments are similar in each of the following areas:

 

  a. The nature of the products and services

 

  b. The nature of the production processes

 

  c. The type of class of customer for their products and services

 

  d. The methods used to distribute their products or provide their services

The Company has four reportable segments. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker receives and reviews separate financial information for each of these four segments. The Company evaluates business segment performance based upon reported business segment earnings, which is defined as earnings before income taxes, interest and other income or expense. The segments are managed separately due to the production requirements and facilities that are unique to each segment. The Company has the following reportable segments at December 31, 2010: (i) Infrared Optics, which is the Company’s infrared optics and material products businesses, HIGHYAG Lasertechnologie GmbH (“HIGHYAG”) and remaining corporate activities, primarily corporate assets and capital expenditures; (ii) Near-Infrared Optics, which is the Company’s VLOC Incorporated subsidiary (“VLOC”), the China and Vietnam near-infrared operations, and Photop Technologies, Inc.

Note N - Share-Based Compensation

The Company records share-based compensation expense in accordance with U.S. GAAP relating to fair value of share-based compensation. U.S. GAAP requires the recognition of the fair value of share-based compensation in net earnings. The Company recognizes the share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period.

Under U.S. GAAP, the Company recorded $2.2 million and $6.0 million in share-based compensation expense in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, respectively, and $1.7 million and $4.1 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2009,

respectively. The share-based compensation expense is allocated approximately 25% to cost of goods sold and 75% to selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of stock option compensation expense. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, the weighted-average fair values of options granted under the stock option plan were $19.93 and $16.77 per option, respectively, and $14.46 and $12.87 per option for the three and six month period ending December 31, 2009, respectively, using the following assumptions:

The risk-free interest rate is derived from the average U.S. Treasury Note rate during the period, which approximates the rate in effect at the time of grant related to the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate shown above is the weighted-average rate for all options granted during the periods. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s Common Stock over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options. The expected life calculation is based on the observed and expected time to post-vesting exercises and forfeitures of options by our employees. The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no intention to pay cash dividends in the future. The estimated annualized forfeitures are based on the Company’s historical experience of option pre-vesting cancellations and are estimated at a rate of 16%. Under U.S. GAAP, the Company will record additional expense in future periods if the actual forfeiture rate is lower than estimated, and will record a recovery of prior expense if the actual forfeiture is higher than estimated.

The Compensation Committee granted certain named executive officers and employees performance share awards under the Company’s 2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan. At December 31, 2010, the Company had two separate performance share grants covering the periods from July 2009 to June 2011 and July 2010 to June 2012. The awards are intended to provide continuing emphasis on specified financial performance goals that the Company considers important contributors to long-term shareholder value. The awards are only payable if the Company achieves specified levels of revenue and cash flows from operations for the performance periods. Included in the $2.2 million and $6.0 million share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, was $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense attributable to performance shares awards. Included in the $1.7 million and $4.1 million share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2009, was $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense attributable to performance share awards. The performance shares compensation expense was calculated based on the estimated number of shares expected to be earned multiplied by the stock price at the date of grant.

In conjunction with the Company’s acquisition of Photop, the Compensation Committee established a long-term performance and retention program under the Company’s 2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan for certain Photop employees. Under this program, the Company granted 150,773 performance share awards to certain employees of Photop. This program covers periods between January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2012. Participants will be eligible to receive 25% of the performance shares following each of the calendar year 2010 and 2011 performance periods and 50% of the performance shares following the calendar year 2012 performance period. The awards are only payable if Photop achieves specified levels of revenue and earnings for each calendar year performance period as well as certain other non-financial performance targets pre-established for the performance periods. Included in the $2.2 million and $6.0 million share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, was $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense under this program. The performance shares

compensation expense was calculated based on the estimated number of shares expected to be earned multiplied by the stock price at the date of grant. The total projected share-based compensation expense attributable to this program to be recognized in fiscal years ending June 30, 2011, 2012 and 2013 is $1.2 million, $1.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

In August 2010, the Compensation Committee granted certain named executive officers and employees restricted share awards under the Company’s 2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The restricted share awards have a 3 year cliff-vesting provision. The estimated annualized forfeitures based on management’s assumptions are estimated at a rate of 7.5%. Included in the $2.2 million and $6.0 million share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, was $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense related to these restricted shares. Share-based compensation expense related to restricted shares for the three and six months ended December 31, 2009 was insignificant.

Note O - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Effective July 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous markets for the asset and liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company estimates fair value of its financial instruments utilizing an established three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date as follows:

 

   

Level 1 – Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

   

Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

 

   

Level 3 – Valuation is based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurements.

The classification of fair value measurements within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement. At December 31, 2010, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts recorded at fair value. The fair values of these instruments were measured using valuations based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets (Level 2) and are valued by reference to similar financial instruments, adjusted for credit risk and restrictions and other terms specific to the contracts. At December 31, 2010, the Company had a contingent earnout arrangement recorded at fair value related to the acquisition of Photop. The fair value of the earnout arrangement was based on significant inputs not observable in the market and represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820. The Company uses the income approach in measuring the fair value of the earnout arrangement, which included the following key assumptions: a 0.41% and 0.93% discount rate for the calendar year 2010 and 2011 earnouts, respectively, and assumed 100% probability of achieving the financial targets under the earnout arrangements. The following table provides a summary by level of the fair value of financial instruments that are measured on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010:

Note P - Derivative Instruments

The Company, from time to time, purchases foreign currency forward exchange contracts, primarily in Japanese Yen, that permit it to sell specified amounts of these foreign currencies expected to be received from its export sales for pre-established U.S. dollar amounts at specified dates. These contracts are entered into to limit transactional exposure to changes in currency exchange rates of export sales transactions in which settlement will occur in future periods and which otherwise would expose the Company, on the basis of its aggregate net cash flows in respective currencies, to foreign currency risk.

The Company has recorded the difference in the fair market value and the contract value of these contracts on the statement of financial position. These contracts have a total contract value of $5.9 million and $7.1 million at December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, these forward contracts had expiration dates ranging from January 7, 2011 through March 2, 2011 with Japanese Yen denominations individually ranging from 160 million Yen to 170 million Yen. The Company does not account for these contracts as hedges as defined by U.S. GAAP and records the change in the fair value of these contracts in the results of operations as they occur. The fair value measurement takes into consideration foreign currency rates and the current creditworthiness of the counterparties to these contracts, as applicable, and is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments and thus represents a Level 2 measurement as defined in ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” These contracts are recorded in other current liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in the fair value of these contracts for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was insignificant.

From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. On December 1, 2010, VLOC Incorporated, a subsidiary of the Company, was named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court of Maryland for an alleged breach of contract in connection with certain purchase orders. However, due to the timing of the filing it is not possible at this time to predict the precise timing or probable outcome of any potential financial consequences related to the allegations. No provisions have been recorded as of December 31, 2010 related to this lawsuit.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements as defined by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including any statements regarding projected growth rates, markets, product development, financial position, capital expenditures and foreign currency exposure. Forward-looking statements are also identified by words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects” or similar expressions.

Actual results could materially differ from such statements due to the following factors: materially adverse changes in economic or industry conditions generally (including capital markets) or in the markets served by the Company, the development and use of new technology and the actions of competitors.

There are additional risk factors that could affect the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition. Investors are encouraged to review the risk factors set forth in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 27, 2010 and in this Form 10-Q.

Introduction

II-VI Incorporated (“II-VI,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), the worldwide leader in crystal growth technology, is a vertically-integrated manufacturing company that creates and markets products for diversified markets including industrial manufacturing, military and aerospace, high-power electronics and telecommunications and thermoelectronics applications.

The Company generates revenues, earnings and cash flows from developing, manufacturing and marketing high technology materials and derivative products for precision use in industrial, telecommunications, military, medical and aerospace applications. We also generate revenue, earnings and cash flows from external customer and government funded research and development contracts relating to the development and manufacture of new technologies, materials and products.

Our customer base includes original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”), laser end users, system integrators of high-power lasers, manufacturers of equipment and devices for industrial, telecommunications, security and monitoring applications, U.S. government prime contractors, various U.S. government agencies and thermoelectric solutions suppliers.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations require the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Note A of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Management believes the Company’s critical accounting estimates are those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranty reserves, inventory valuation, valuation of long-lived assets including acquired intangibles and goodwill, accrual of bonus and profit sharing estimates, accrual of income tax liability estimates, accounting for share-based payments and workers compensation accrual for our self insurance program.

 

23


Table of Contents

Management believes these estimates to be critical because they are both important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and they require management to make judgments and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

The Company recognizes revenues when the criteria of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin: No. 104 – “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 104”) are met. Revenues for product shipments are realizable when we have persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement, the product has been shipped or delivered, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Title and risk of loss passes from the Company to its customer at the time of shipment in all cases with the exception of certain customers. For these customers, which represent approximately 5% of our consolidated revenues, title does not pass and revenue is not recognized until the customer has received the product at its physical location.

We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts and a warranty reserve based on historical experience and believe the collection of revenues, net of these reserves, is reasonably assured. Our allowance for doubtful accounts and warranty reserve balances at December 31, 2010 was $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Our reserve estimates have historically been proven to be materially correct based upon actual charges incurred.

The Company’s revenue recognition policy is consistently applied across the Company’s segments, product lines and geographical locations. Further, we do not have post shipment obligations such as training or installation, customer acceptance provisions, credits and discounts, rebates and price protection or other similar privileges. Our distributors and agents are not granted price protection. Our distributors and agents, who comprise less than 10% of consolidated revenue, have no additional product return rights beyond the right to return defective products that are covered by our warranty policy. We believe our revenue recognition practices are consistent with SAB 104, and that we have adequately considered the requirements of U.S. GAAP.

Revenues generated from transactions, other than product shipments, are contract related and have historically accounted for approximately 5% or less of the Company’s consolidated revenues. For this portion of revenues, the Company follows the guidelines of U.S. GAAP for these contracts, which are related to research and development.

New Accounting Standards

orders received that are expected to be converted to revenues over the next twelve months. For long-term customer orders, the Company does not include in bookings the portion of the customer order that is beyond twelve months, due to the inherent uncertainty of an order that far out in the future. Included in bookings for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 was approximately $29.6 million and $57.6 million, respectively, of bookings from Photop. In addition to the bookings from Photop, the increase for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same periods last fiscal year was primarily driven by increased product demand at the Infrared Optics, Military & Materials and Compound Semiconductor Group segments. The Infrared Optics segment has benefited from the increased worldwide industrial activity as the economic climate continued to improve resulting in increased laser utilization rates and increased demand for the segment’s replacement optics. The Military & Materials segment experienced strong demand from both the EEO and PRM subsidiaries. EEO recorded increased bookings related to the Joint Strike Fighter program while PRM recorded increased bookings due to demand for its selenium and tellurium products. The Compound Semiconductor Group segment increased bookings as a result of the receipt of a government contract for Silicon Carbide growth as well as the launch of Marlow’s gesture recognition product. The increase in bookings during the current three and six months was somewhat offset by the timing and delay of receipts of certain military-related orders at VLOC in the Near-Infrared Optics segment.

Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2010 increased 76% to $120,887,000 compared to $68,785,000 for the same period last fiscal year. Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2010 increased 79% to $241,021,000 compared to $134,323,000 for the same period last fiscal year. Included in revenues for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 was approximately $31.0 million and $57.7 million, respectively, of revenues from Photop. In addition to the revenues from Photop, the increase in revenues for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same periods last fiscal year was the result of the majority of the Company’s business units recognizing increased shipment volume as a result of the general improvement in the worldwide economy. The Company’s Infrared Optics segment recognized increased revenues of $9.5 million and $21.5 million, respectively, during the current three and six month period. This increase in revenues was primarily driven by increasing demand from OEM’s and aftermarket customers. The Military & Materials segment recognized increased revenues of $4.3 million and $8.8 million, respectively, during the current three and six month period. This increase in revenues is primarily driven by increased demand for both selenium and tellurium at PRM as well as increased shipments related to the Joint Strike Fighter program at EEO. The Compound Semi Conductor Group segment recognized increased revenues of $7.2 million and $17.2 million, respectively, during the current three and six month period, primarily due to its gesture recognition product line.

Net earnings attributable to II-VI Incorporated for the three months ended December 31, 2010 were $19,157,000 ($0.60 per share-diluted). This compares to net earnings attributable to II-VI Incorporated of $5,981,000 ($0.20 per share-diluted) in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Net earnings attributable to II-VI Incorporated for the six months ended December 31, 2010 were $37,524,000 ($1.18 per share-diluted). This compares to net earnings attributable to II-VI Incorporated of $12,287,000 ($0.41 per share-diluted) for the six months ending December 31, 2009. The increase in net earnings for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same periods last fiscal year was primarily due to the incremental margin realized on increased revenues. In addition, the operating results of Photop made a positive contribution to net earnings as did certain yield improvements within the Infrared Optics segment and operating efficiencies throughout the Company.

Bookings, revenues and segment earnings for the Company’s reportable segments are discussed below. Segment earnings differ from income from operations in that segment earnings exclude certain operational expenses included in other expense (income), net as reported. Management believes segment earnings to be a useful measure as it reflects the results of segment performance over which management has direct control. See also “Note M Segment Reporting” to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on the Company’s reportable segments and the reconciliation of segment earnings to earnings before income taxes.

Overall

Manufacturing gross margin, which is defined as net sales less cost of goods sold, for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was $49,524,000, or 42% of net sales, compared to $25,693,000, or 38% of net sales, for the same period last fiscal year. Manufacturing gross margin for the six months ended December 31, 2010 was $98,336,000 or 42% of net sales, compared to $50,915,000, or 39% of net sales, for the same period last fiscal year. The increase in manufacturing gross margin dollars and percentage for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same periods last fiscal year was primarily due to the incremental margin realized on higher shipment levels at the majority of the Company’s operating units. In addition, product mix, yield improvements, and operating efficiencies realized at the Company’s business units favorably impacted manufacturing gross margin.

Contract research and development gross margin, which is calculated as contract research and development revenues less contract research and development expenses, for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was $512,000, or 21% of research and development revenues, compared to a gross margin of $713,000, or 39% of contract research and development revenues, for the same period last fiscal year. Contract research and development gross margin for the six months ended December 31, 2010 was $936,000, or 21% of research and development revenues, compared to a gross margin of $1,361,000, or 36% of contract research and development revenues, for the same period last fiscal year The contract research and development revenues and costs are a result of development efforts in the Near-Infrared Optics and the Military & Materials segments as well as activities in the Compound Semiconductor Group. The lower contract research and development gross margin for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same periods last fiscal year was primarily due to certain contract rate adjustments and the mix of contracts with different margin profiles.

Company-funded internal research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2010 were $3,357,000, or 3% of revenues, compared to $2,287,000, or 3% of revenues, for the same period last fiscal year. Company-funded internal research and development expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2010 were $7,203,000, or 3% of revenues, compared to $4,722,000, or 4% of revenues, for the same period last fiscal year. The increase in Company-funded internal research and development expense in relative dollars for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same periods last fiscal year is primarily the result of internal research and development activities at Photop focused on efforts to refine and improve its photonic crystal materials, optical parts, laser instrumentation and display optics.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2010 were $21,991,000, or 18% of revenues, compared to $16,921,000, or 25% of revenues, for the same period last fiscal year. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2010 were $44,720,000, or 19% of revenues, compared to $31,860,000, or 24% of revenues, for the same period last fiscal year. The increase in the dollar amount of selling, general and administration expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same periods last fiscal year was due to the addition of Photop as well as higher worldwide bonus expense resulting from improved operating profitability. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenues improved during the current three and six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same periods last fiscal year as a result of increased revenues outpacing incremental operating costs.

Interest expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 was $25,000 and $55,000, respectively, and was consistent with the three and six months ended December 31, 2009 of $19,000 and $43,000, respectively. The low level of interest expense is the result of the Company having relatively low levels of outstanding debt at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Other expense, net for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was $460,000 compared to other income, net of $205,000 for the same period last fiscal year. The majority of other expense, net for the three months ended December 31, 2010 is the result of certain of the Company’s foreign currencies weakening against the U.S. dollar during the current fiscal quarter. Somewhat offsetting the foreign currency losses were earnings from the Company’s equity investments, unrealized gains on the deferred compensation plan and interest income on excess cash reserves. Other income, net for the six months ended December 31, 2010 was $1,602,000 compared to $132,000 for the same period last fiscal year. The majority of other income, net for the six months ended December 31, 2010 is the result of earnings from the Company’s equity investments, unrealized gains on the deferred compensation plan and interest income on excess cash reserves.

The Company’s year-to-date effective income tax rate at December 31, 2010 is 23.0% compared to an effective tax rate of 22.2% for the same period last fiscal year. The variation between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0% is primarily due to the consolidation of the Company’s foreign operations which are subject to income taxes at lower statutory rates.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Exchange Risks

The Company is exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In the normal course of business, the Company uses a variety of techniques and derivative financial instruments as part of its overall risk management strategy primarily focused on its exposure to the Japanese Yen. No significant changes have occurred in the techniques and instruments used other than those described below.

The Company also has transactions denominated in Euros and British Pounds. Changes in the foreign currency exchange rates of these currencies had an unfavorable impact on the results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2010 by an after-tax loss of approximately $0.8 million or $0.03 per-share diluted. Changes in the foreign currency exchange rates of these currencies for the six months ending December 31, 2010 did not have a significant impact on the results of operations.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts with its banks. The purpose of these contracts is to hedge ordinary business risks regarding foreign currencies on product sales. Foreign currency exchange contracts are used to limit transactional exposure to changes in currency rates. The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts that permit it to sell specified amounts of foreign currencies expected to be received from its export sales for pre-established U.S. dollar amounts at specified dates. The forward contracts are denominated in the same foreign currencies in which export sales are denominated. These contracts provide the Company with an economic hedge in which settlement will occur in future periods and which otherwise would expose the Company to foreign currency risk. The Company monitors its positions and the credit ratings of the parties to these contracts. While the Company may be exposed to potential losses due to risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to these financial instruments, it does not anticipate such losses. The Company currently has a 300 million Yen loan to help minimize the foreign currency exposure in Japan. A change in the interest rate of 1% for this Yen loan would have changed the interest expense by an immaterial amount and a 10% change in the Yen to dollar exchange rate would have changed revenues in the range from a decrease of $0.7 million to an increase of $0.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and a decrease of $1.4 million to an increase of $1.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010.

For II-VI Singapore Pte., Ltd. and its subsidiaries, II-VI Suisse S.a.r.l. and PRM, the functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Gains and losses on the remeasurement of the local currency financial statements are included in net earnings. Foreign currency remeasurement gains were $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010. Foreign currency remeasurement losses were $0.2 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2009.

For all other foreign subsidiaries, the functional currency is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of those operations are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates while income and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates for the reporting period. Translation adjustments are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity.

Interest Rate Risks

As of December 31, 2010, the total borrowings of $3.7 million were from a loan denominated in Japanese Yen. As such, the Company is exposed to market risks arising from changes in interest rates. A change in the interest rate of 1% would not have had a material impact on the Company’s financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2010.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of Francis J. Kramer, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Craig A. Creaturo, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The Company’s disclosure controls were designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. However, the controls have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the controls’ stated goals. Based on that evaluation, Messrs. Kramer and Creaturo concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report. No changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting were implemented during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Securities and Exchange Commission’s general guidance permits the exclusion of an assessment of the effectiveness of a registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures as they relate to its internal controls over financial reporting for an acquired business during the first year following such acquisition if, among other circumstances and factors, there is not adequate time between the acquisition date and the date of assessment. As previously noted in the Form 10-Q, the Company completed the acquisition of MLA in December 2010. MLA represents approximately 2.4% of the Company’s total assets as of December 31, 2010. Management’s assessment and conclusion on the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2010 excludes an assessment of the internal control over financial reporting of MLA.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. On December 1, 2010, VLOC Incorporated, a subsidiary of the Company, was named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court of Maryland for an alleged breach of contract in connection with certain purchase orders. However, due to the timing of the filing it is not possible at this time to predict the precise timing or probable outcome of any potential financial consequences related to the allegations. No provisions have been recorded as of December 31, 2010 related to this lawsuit.
