Item 1. Business

Developments During Fiscal Year 2008

All dollar amounts in this Item 1 are in thousands except per share data.

Total revenues of Analogic Corporation (hereinafter, together with its subsidiaries, referred to as “Analogic” or the “Company”) for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 (“fiscal year 2008”), were $413,509 as compared to $340,782 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007 (“fiscal year 2007”). Net income for fiscal year 2008 was $23,486, or $1.77 per diluted share, as compared to $15,380, or $1.10 per diluted share, for fiscal year 2007. Net income in fiscal year 2008 included $2,000 of income before taxes on the sale of 20% of the Company’s 45% equity interest (for a remaining interest of 25%) in Shenzhen Anke High Tech Co., Ltd (“SAHCO”). Net income in fiscal year 2007 included income before taxes on the sale of the Company’s 17% ownership interest in Bio-Imaging Research, Inc. (“BIR”) and related dividend income totaling $4,036.

On January 30, 2008, the Company entered into a shares purchase agreement (the “Shares Purchase Agreement”) with Chonqing Anke Medical Equipment Co. (“CA”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to CA 20% of its existing 45% equity interest in SAHCO, located in the People’s Republic of China, for aggregate cash consideration of US $2,000. Upon conclusion of the transaction in July 2008, Analogic held a 25% equity interest in SAHCO. The Company had previously determined that its investment in SAHCO was impaired; and in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2006 (“fiscal year 2006”), the Company wrote off the residual net book value of its equity interest. The Company recognized a $2,000 gain on investment in fiscal year 2008 when it was received in July 2008.

On April 14, 2008, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Copley Controls Corporation (“Copley”). Copley is a leading supplier of gradient amplifiers for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (“MRI”) and precision motion control systems used in computer-controlled automation systems. This acquisition will enable the Company to expand its product offerings to its Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) customers, pursue new opportunities in Asia, and enhance its position as a leading provider of medical subsystems for MRI scanners. Copley’s growing and profitable motion control business provides additional opportunities and a new avenue of growth in the high-technology automation market. The estimated purchase price, net of cash acquired, was approximately $74,682, which consisted of $76,875 of cash paid upon closing, $734 of transaction costs, which primarily consisted of fees incurred by the Company for financial advisory, legal and accounting services, $1,066 for estimated working capital adjustment payments, of which the entire amount was paid prior to July 31, 2008, and a current estimate of $1,000 due to the former stockholders of Copley to reimburse them for the additional tax costs of making an election to treat the acquisition as an asset sale for tax purposes, net of cash acquired of $4,993.

In May 2008, the Company notified approximately 32 employees in various departments of the organization that they would be terminated by July 31, 2008. The costs associated with these terminations, which included severance and personnel related costs, was $597 and recorded as a restructuring cost in fiscal year 2008.

On June 4, 2008, the Company announced a voluntary retirement program for all of its U.S. employees, under which the retirements are expected to be substantially completed by September 30, 2008. The total costs for the 52 employees who participated in the program, including severance and personnel related costs, was approximately $3,419 and recorded as a voluntary retirement cost during fiscal year 2008. As part of this program, Edmund F. Becker, Jr., the former Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, voluntarily retired from employment with the Company on July 31, 2008.

Description of Business

Analogic was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in November 1967. Analogic is a leading designer and manufacturer of advanced health and security systems and subsystems sold primarily to

Table of Contents

OEMs. The Company is recognized worldwide for advancing state-of-the-art technology in the areas of Automatic Explosives Detection Systems (“EDS”), Computed Tomography (“CT”), Digital Radiography (“DR”), Ultrasound, MRI, Patient Monitoring, and Advanced Signal Processing. Analogic’s OEM customers incorporate Analogic’s state-of-the-art products into systems used in health and security applications. One of Analogic’s subsidiaries sells products under its own name directly to niche clinical ultrasound end-user markets.

Analogic conceives, designs, manufactures, and sells standard and customized high-precision data acquisition, and signal and image-processing-based medical and security systems and subsystems. For decades, Analogic has been a leader in the application of precision analog-to-digital (“A/D”) and digital-to-analog (“D/A”) conversion technology. This technology involves the conversion of continuously varying electrical signals in analog form, such as those representing temperature, pressure, voltage, weight, velocity, and ultrasound and X-ray intensity, into and from the digital form required by medical imaging, security imaging, monitoring, and other data processing equipment, as well as in subsystems and systems based on such technology.

In addition to precision measurement, many 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 links between various analog sensors, detectors, or transducers, and the people or systems that interpret or utilize this information.

The Company operates primarily within two major markets within the electronics industry: Medical Technology Products and Security Technology Products. Medical Technology Products consists of three reporting segments: Medical Imaging Products, which consists primarily of electronic systems and subsystems for medical imaging equipment and patient monitoring; Digital Radiography Products, which consists primarily of X-ray detectors and direct digital radiography systems for diagnostic and interventional applications in mammography, orthopedic, and general radiology applications; and B-K Medical ApS (“B-K Medical”) for ultrasound systems and probes in the urology, surgery, and radiology markets. Security Technology Products consists of advanced explosives detection and weapon-and-threat detection systems and subsystems. The Company’s Corporate and Other segment represents the Company’s hotel business and net interest income. In August 2007, the Company notified customers of Anexa Corporation (“Anexa”), a wholly owned subsidiary, which is included in the Digital Radiography Products segment, that sales and marketing of Anexa products would cease immediately, but that Analogic would continue to service and support the products previously sold to customers and sell products to OEMs for the foreseeable future. Copley is part of the Company’s Medical Imaging Products segment. See Note 20 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for financial information regarding the Company’s segments.

Medical Imaging Products

Medical Imaging Products, which accounted for approximately 58% of product and engineering revenue in fiscal year 2008, consists primarily of electronic systems and subsystems for medical imaging and patient monitoring equipment.

Analogic is an industry leader in the development and sale of CT detectors and data acquisition systems that become part of OEM imaging systems around the world. The Company’s detection and data acquisition subsystems convert X-ray energy to useful digital signals for the generation of anatomical images in medical diagnostics. Analogic’s CT products allow its customers to remain at the forefront of this rapidly advancing field in terms of improved resolution and faster data acquisition. Leveraging its experience in CT, the Company has developed higher-level subsystems for the radiotherapy market.

For OEM producers of MRI equipment, the Company applies the latest advancements in water-cooled power management design in its two main MRI products—Radio Frequency (“RF”) and Gradient amplifiers. The amplifiers are two of the critical components in every MRI system. The Company has developed a wide range of amplifier solutions for its customers, from low-magnetic-field systems to high-energy systems designed for

academic research. On April 14, 2008, the Company also acquired Copley, which is a leading supplier of gradient amplifiers for MRI and precision motion control systems used in computer-controlled automation systems.

Analogic has recently entered the molecular imaging market by developing an advanced optical imaging system for use with fluorescent chemical probes. These systems are designed for the detection, monitoring and measurement of disease progression in animal research. The optical imaging technology is expected to be used in oncology, arthritis, cardiovascular, and respiratory disease research.

Sound Technology, Inc. (“STI”), a wholly owned subsidiary, develops and manufactures ultrasound transducers and probes for a broad range of clinical applications. These products are supplied to a global customer base of ultrasound system OEMs, including B-K Medical, a wholly owned subsidiary.

The Company manufactures a variety of multi-functional, custom patient monitoring instruments for OEM customers and the co-branded LIFEGARD® family of non-invasive patient and ante partum fetal monitors marketed by its exclusive distributor. Instruments include vital signs monitors as well as invasive, minimally invasive, and non-invasive specialty monitors. The Company is recognized as a world leader in the measurement of continuous cardiac output and in non-invasively measuring a growing number of specialty parameters. These monitors are designed for use in a wide variety of hospital settings, including the emergency room, intensive care units, sub-acute units, and general care and surgical centers, as well as in clinics, physicians’ offices, and the home.

The LIFEGARD family includes fetal monitoring products under the FETALGARD® brand. These monitors, designed for use in ante partum applications, have the capability to non-invasively measure, compute, display, and print fetal heart rates, maternal contraction frequency, and relative intensity to determine both maternal and fetal well-being.

Digital Radiography Products

Direct Digital Radiography Products (“DDR”) accounted for approximately 7% of product and engineering revenues in fiscal year 2008. DDR consists primarily of ANRAD Corporation (“Anrad”), a wholly owned subsidiary, which designs and manufactures for OEM customers, state-of-the-art, direct conversion amorphous Selenium-based, digital, flat-panel, X-ray detectors for diagnostic and interventional applications in digital fluoroscopy and mammography. Also part of DDR during fiscal year 2008 was Anexa, which marketed and sold complete advanced digital radiography solutions to end users for applications such as orthopedics, emergency medicine, pediatrics, and general radiology in small-to-mid-sized hospitals and imaging centers. In August 2007, the Company notified customers of Anexa that sales and marketing of new Anexa products would cease immediately to new end-user customers, but that Analogic would continue to service and support the products currently with existing customers.

B-K Medical

B-K Medical, which designs and manufactures ultrasound systems and probes for end-user markets in urology, surgery, and radiology, accounted for approximately 23% of product and engineering revenues in fiscal year 2008. Its scanners generate real-time images of the internal anatomy that are used for medical diagnosis and interventional procedures. B-K Medical is headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, and operates primarily on a direct sales basis through legal entities primarily in the U.S. and Europe.

Security Technology Products

Security Technology Products, which provides advanced explosives and weapons detection systems for checked baggage and carry-on baggage at checkpoints, accounted for approximately 12% of product and engineering revenue in fiscal year 2008.

Table of Contents

Analogic designs and manufactures the EXplosive Assessment Computed Tomography scanner (“EXACT®”). The EXACT is the world’s first dual-energy, helical-cone-beam, 24-slice CT scanner, and certified security detection system capable of generating data for full three-dimensional (“3-D”) images of every object contained within a piece of baggage. The EXACT is the core system of L-3 Communication’s (“L-3”) eXaminer 3DX® (the “eXaminer”) systems, the first explosive detection system certified by the Federal Aviation Administration. The eXaminer is sold to the U.S. Federal Government for installation at major U.S. airports to scan checked baggage and to international airport security authorities for installation at airports in Europe, Asia, and Central America.

In March 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with L-3 awarding L-3 exclusive rights to market and service for air carriers two new security imaging systems developed by Analogic for checked baggage applications. These new products are currently in the certification process at the Transportation Security Laboratory.

Analogic has also designed a high-speed, low-cost, CT-based checkpoint security imaging system, the COBRA®, to detect explosives, guns, and other threats. This system is designed to automatically detect explosives and weapons in carry-on luggage at checkpoints in airports, at portals for cruise ships, and for other high-security applications, such as financial, government, and military complexes.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other consists primarily of the Company’s hotel business and net interest income.

The Company owns a hotel, managed for the Company under a contract with Marriott Corporation, which is located on approximately 7.5 acres of land adjacent to the Company’s principal executive offices and manufacturing facility in Peabody, Massachusetts. The facility is strategically situated in an industrial park and is in close proximity to the historic and tourist area of Boston’s North Shore, approximately 18 miles from Boston. It has 256 guest rooms, a ballroom, several function rooms, and recreational facilities.

Marketing and Distribution

The Company sells its products domestically and abroad directly through its employees and subsidiaries in Europe, Canada, and United States, and on occasion through a network of independent sales representatives and distributors located in principal cities around the world. The majority of distributors order from the Company as they receive orders from their customers and do not stock inventory for resale. Generally, 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 electronic and mechanical elements, including proprietary integrated circuits, printed circuit boards, detectors, power supplies, and displays manufactured by Analogic and others in accordance with Analogic’s specifications. Most items procured from third-party suppliers are believed to be available from more than one source. However, it might become necessary, if a given component ceases to be available, for Analogic to modify a product design to adapt to a substitute component, or to purchase new tooling to enable a new supplier to manufacture the component, either of which could result in additional expense and/or delay 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 ensure its ability to make timely delivery to its customers.

Patents and Licenses

The Company holds approximately 180 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

Table of Contents

regularly files U.S. patent applications and, where appropriate, foreign patent applications. The Company also files continuations to cover both new and improved methods, apparatus, processes, designs, and products. At present, approximately 25 U.S. and foreign patent 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 confidentiality agreements with its key customers and vendors.

Management believes that any legal protection afforded by patent and copyright laws is 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 the Company’s engineers in developing products that satisfy customer needs, and the marketing skills and managerial competence of the Company’s 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 procurement activities of certain customers 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 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Material Customers

The Company had two customers, as set forth in the table below, who accounted for 10% or more of the net product and engineering revenue during fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006.

 

     Year Ended July 31,  
     2008     2007     2006  

Customer 1

   17 %   18 %   19 %

Customer 2

   11 %   11 %   17 %

The Company’s ten largest customers as a group accounted for 67%, 68%, and 70% of the Company’s net product and engineering revenue for fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. Loss of any one of these customers would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. There were no customers that accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net accounts receivable at July 31, 2008 or 2007.

Backlog

The Company’s backlog, which consists of cancellable and non-cancellable orders that will ship primarily within the next 12 months, was $137,457 at July 31, 2008 as compared to $101,574 at July 31, 2007. The increase in the backlog of $35,883 was due primarily to increases in Medical Imaging Products, Security Technology Products, and Digital Radiography Products of $14,902, $12,067, and $9,366, respectively. The increase in Medical Imaging Products backlog was due primarily to the acquisition of Copley during fiscal year

Table of Contents

2008. The increase in Security Technology Products backlog was due primarily to a time and material engineering project for a security imaging system that began in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 and an order from the Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) during fiscal year 2008 for 12 COBRA systems, of which 10 are expected to be delivered during the fiscal year ending July 31, 2009 (“fiscal year 2009”). The increase in Digital Radiography Products backlog was due primarily to a supply agreement with an OEM customer for mammography detectors, which has minimum purchase requirements that increase each year.

Government Contracts

The Company does a significant amount of business with agencies of the federal government, either directly or as a subcontractor. The Company’s contracts with government agencies, and the government contracts of other parties under which the Company is serving as a subcontractor, are subject to termination at the election of the government agency. While none of the Company’s government contracts or subcontracts provide for renegotiation of profits at the election of the government, it is possible that the government agency could request, and that the Company could under certain circumstances agree to, the renegotiation of the payments provided for under such contracts. However, the Company has not in the past renegotiated any significant payment terms under its government contracts or subcontracts.

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 that are directly comparable to products manufactured by others, in many instances, Analogic’s products conform to more exacting specifications and carry a higher price than analogous products manufactured by others.

Analogic’s medical X-ray imaging systems are specialized for the needs of the Company’s customers. The Company considers its selection by its OEM customers for the design and manufacture of these products and its other medical products to be due more to the “make-or-buy” decision of its individual OEM customers rather than a function of other competitors in the field. 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 strength in the Company’s relationship with its major customers, although some of these customers 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 OEM supplier of CT subsystems and systems for the medical and security industries.

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 and the improvement and refinement of its present products and the expansion of their applications.

Company funds expended for R&D amounted to $48,947 in fiscal year 2008, $46,955 in fiscal year 2007, and $51,790 in fiscal year 2006. Analogic intends to continue its emphasis on new product development. As of July 31, 2008, Analogic employed approximately 445 employees engaged in research and product development activities, including electrical engineers, software engineers, physicists, mathematicians, and technicians. These individuals, in conjunction with the Company’s sales and marketing staff, also devote a portion of their time to assisting customers in utilizing the Company’s products, developing new uses for these products, and anticipating customer requirements for new products.

Table of Contents

The Company capitalized $2,719 and $1,295 in fiscal year 2008 and fiscal year 2007, respectively, of computer software testing and coding costs incurred after technological feasibility was established. These costs are amortized using a straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the related products, generally three years, and are included in product cost of sales.

Environment

The Company’s 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 the Company’s capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position.

Employees

As of July 31, 2008, the Company employed approximately 1,700 employees.

Financial Information about Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Revenue

Domestic and foreign revenues were $327,181 and $86,328, respectively, in fiscal year 2008 as compared to $273,746 and $67,036, respectively, in fiscal year 2007, and $281,575 and $69,870, respectively, in fiscal year 2006.

Export revenue from sales of products and engineering services from the United States primarily to companies in Europe and Asia, which is denominated 100% in U.S. dollars, amounted to $116,969 (29%) of product and engineering revenue in fiscal year 2008 as compared to $93,639 (28%) of product and engineering revenue in fiscal year 2007, and $101,945 (30%) of product and engineering revenue in fiscal year 2006. The Company’s export revenue is at least as profitable as its domestic revenue.

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

You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision with respect to the Company’s common stock. Additional risks not presently known to the Company, or that the Company currently deems immaterial, may also impair the Company’s business. Any of these could have a material and negative effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations.

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

The Company depends on a small number of customers for a large portion of its business, and changes in its customers’ orders could have a significant impact on the Company’s operating results. If a major customer significantly reduces the amount of business it does with the Company, there would be an adverse impact on its operating results.

The Company had two customers, as set forth in the table below, who accounted for 10% or more of the net product and engineering revenue during fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006.

 

     Year Ended July 31,  
     2008     2007     2006  

Customer 1

   17 %   18 %   19 %

Customer 2

   11 %   11 %   17 %

The Company’s ten largest customers as a group accounted for 67%, 68%, and 70% of the Company’s net product and engineering revenue for fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. There were no customers that accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net accounts receivable at July 31, 2008 or 2007.

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

In addition, the Company generates significant accounts receivable in connection with the products the Company sells and the services it provides to its major customers. Although the Company’s major customers are large corporations, if one or more of its customers were to become insolvent or otherwise be unable to pay for the Company’s products and services, the Company’s operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

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

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

The Company’s competitors include divisions of larger, more diversified organizations as well as specialized companies. Some of them have greater resources and larger staffs than the Company has. Many of the Company’s existing and potential OEM customers have the ability to design and manufacture internally the products that the Company manufactures for them. The Company faces competition from the research and

product development groups and manufacturing operations of its existing and potential customers, who continually compare the benefits of internal research, product development, and manufacturing with the costs and benefits of outsourcing.

The Company depends on its suppliers, some of which are the sole source for certain components, and its production could be substantially curtailed if these suppliers were not able to meet the Company’s demands and alternative sources were not available.

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

The Company relies on successful performance by and relationships with subcontractors, which reliance could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition.

The Company has formed arrangements with subcontractors for various services and components. The Company has formed such arrangements because it is commercially more efficient to outsource such services and purchase such components than it would be for it to perform or manufacture such services and components, which in some cases require, among other things, a high degree of technical skill and advanced equipment that is not practical or cost-effective for it to develop or acquire. As a result, if one of the Company’s subcontractors were to experience quality problems, capacity constraints, decreased yields, or delivery delays, or were to raise prices significantly, the Company could face product liability claims, product shortages, decreased revenues or lost customers, which could adversely affect its operating results.

If the Company were to be left with excess inventory, its operating results could be adversely affected.

Because of long lead times and specialized product designs, in certain cases the Company purchases components and manufactures products in anticipation of customer orders based on customer forecasts. For a variety of reasons, such as decreased end-user demand for the Company’s products, its customers might not purchase all the products that it has manufactured or for which it has purchased components. In either event, the Company would attempt to recoup material and manufacturing costs by means such as returning components to its vendors, disposing of excess inventory through other channels, or requiring its OEM customers to purchase or otherwise compensate it for such excess inventory. Some of the Company’s significant customer agreements do not give it the ability to require its OEM customers to do this. To the extent that the Company was unsuccessful in recouping its material and manufacturing costs, its net sales and operating results could be adversely affected. Moreover, carrying excess inventory would reduce the working capital the Company has available to continue to operate and grow its business.

Uncertainties and adverse trends affecting the Company’s industry or any of its major customers could adversely affect its operating results.

The Company’s business operates primarily within two major markets within the electronics industry, Medical Technology Products and Security Technology Products, which are subject to rapid technological change, and pricing, and margin pressure. These markets have historically been cyclical and subject to significant downturns characterized by diminished product demand, rapid declines in average selling prices, and production over-capacity. In addition, changes in government policy relating to reimbursement for the purchase or use of medical and security-related capital equipment could also affect the Company’s sales. The Company’s customers’ markets are also subject to economic cycles and are likely to experience recessionary periods in the future. The economic conditions affecting the Company’s industry in general, or any of its major customers in particular, might adversely affect its operating results. The Company’s other businesses are subject to the same or greater technological and cyclical pressures.

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

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

The Company’s business strategy involves the pursuit of acquisitions or business combinations, which, if consummated, could be difficult to integrate, disrupt the Company’s business, dilute stockholder value, or divert management attention.

As part of the Company’s business strategy, the Company might consummate acquisitions or business combinations. Acquisitions are typically accompanied by a number of risks, including the difficulty of integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired companies, the potential disruption of the Company’s ongoing business and distraction of management, expenses related to the acquisition, and potential unknown or underestimated liabilities associated with acquired businesses. If the Company does not successfully complete acquisitions that it pursues in the future, it could incur substantial expenses and devote significant management time and resources without generating any benefit to the Company. In addition, substantial portions of the Company’s available cash might be utilized as consideration for these acquisitions.

The Company’s annual and quarterly operating results are subject to fluctuations, which could affect the market price of its common stock.

The Company’s annual and quarterly results could vary significantly depending on various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, and may not meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors. If this occurs, the price of the Company’s common stock could decline. These factors include:

 

   

variations in the timing and volume of customer orders relative to the Company’s manufacturing capacity;

 

   

introduction and market acceptance of the Company’s customers’ new products;

 

11


Table of Contents
   

changes in demand for the Company’s customers’ existing products;

 

   

the timing of the Company’s expenditures in anticipation of future orders;

 

   

effectiveness in managing the Company’s manufacturing processes;

 

   

changes in competitive and economic conditions generally or in the Company’s customers’ markets;

 

   

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

 

   

changes in the Company’s effective tax rate;

 

   

fluctuations in manufacturing yields;

 

   

foreign currency exposure; and

 

   

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

A delay in anticipated sales could result in the deferral of the associated revenue beyond the end of a particular quarter, which would have a significant effect on the Company’s operating results for that quarter. In addition, most of the Company’s operating expenses do not vary directly with net revenues and are difficult to adjust in the short term. As a result, if revenues for a particular quarter were below the Company’s expectations, the Company could not proportionately reduce operating expenses for that quarter. Hence, the revenue shortfall could have a disproportionate adverse effect on its operating results for that quarter.

Loss of any of the Company’s key personnel could hurt its business because of their industry experience and their technological expertise.

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

If the Company is unable to maintain its expertise in research and product development, manufacturing processes, and marketing new products, it might not be able to compete successfully.

The Company believes that its future success depends upon its ability to provide research and product development, provide manufacturing services that meet the changing needs of its customers, and market new products. This requires that the Company successfully anticipate and respond to technological changes in design and manufacturing processes in a cost-effective and timely manner. As a result, the Company continually evaluates the advantages and feasibility of new product designs, and manufacturing processes. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to develop and introduce new and improved products in a timely or efficient manner or that new and improved products, if developed, will achieve market acceptance.

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

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

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

The Company markets and sells products in international markets, and has established offices and subsidiaries in Denmark, Germany, Italy, and Canada. Revenues from international operations accounted for 21%, 20%, and 20% of total revenues for fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. From its U.S. operations, the Company also ships directly to customers in Europe and Asia, for which shipments accounted for 29%, 28%, and 30% of total revenues for fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. There are inherent risks in transacting business internationally, including:

 

   

changes in applicable laws and regulatory requirements;

 

   

export and import restrictions;

 

   

export controls relating to technology;

 

   

tariffs and other trade barriers;

 

   

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

 

   

difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;

 

   

longer payment cycles;

 

   

problems in collecting accounts receivable;

 

   

political instability;

 

   

fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

 

   

expatriation controls; and

 

   

potential adverse tax consequences.

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

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

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

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

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

As a result of the September 11, 2001, and 1993 World Trade Center bombing attacks, and the potential for future attacks, product liability insurance coverage for such threats is extremely difficult and costly to obtain. It is possible, subject to the applicability of the Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act of 2002 (the “SAFETY Act”), that if the Company was found to liable following a major act of terrorism, its insurance coverages might not fully cover the claims for damages.

The SAFETY Act is a federal law enacted to provide certain legal liability protections for providers of certain anti-terrorism technologies. If applicable to claims against Analogic, the SAFETY Act could mitigate some of this risk.

The Company’s security and inspections systems business depends in part on purchases of products and services by the U.S. federal government and its agencies, which purchases may be only partially funded, and are subject to potential termination and reductions and delays in government spending.

Sales of the Company’s security and inspection systems, in some cases as an indirect subcontractor or team member with prime contractors and in some cases directly, to the U.S. Government and its agencies accounted for approximately 12%, 12% and 19% of the Company’s total product and engineering revenues in fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company’s security and inspection systems are included in many different domestic programs. Over the lifetime of a program, the award of many different individual contracts and subcontracts could impact the Company’s products’ requirements. The funding of U.S. Government programs is subject to Congressional appropriations. Although multiple-year contracts may be planned in connection with major procurements, Congress generally appropriates funds only on a single fiscal year basis. Consequently, programs are often only partially funded initially, and additional funds are committed only as Congress makes further appropriations and prime contracts receive such funding. The reduction or delay in funding or termination of a government program in which the Company is involved could result in a loss of or delay in receiving anticipated future revenues attributable to that program and contracts or orders received. The U.S. Government could reduce or terminate a prime contract under which the Company is a subcontractor or team member irrespective of the quality of our products or services. The termination of a program or delays in the reduction in or failure to commit additional funds to a program in which the Company is involved could negatively impact its revenues and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Total net revenues increased $72,727, or 21%, to $413,509 for fiscal year 2008 from $340,782 for fiscal year 2007 due primarily to an increase in product revenue from Medical Imaging Products, Digital Radiography Products, B-K Medical, and Security Technology Products of $43,478, $10,554, $12,178, and $9,375, respectively. The increase in Medical Imaging Products includes $18,300 from Copley, which was acquired on April 14, 2008.

The increases in income from operations, net income, and diluted net income per share in fiscal year 2008 as compared to fiscal year 2007 were due primarily to an increase in product revenues. Also contributing to the increases was a $9,705 asset impairment charge related to the write-down of assets in the digital radiography systems business in fiscal year 2007 as compared to voluntary retirement and other restructuring costs of $4,016 in fiscal year 2008. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in interest income in fiscal year 2008 as compared to fiscal year 2007, due primarily to lower effective interest rates and lower invested cash balances. Also offsetting this increase was an increase in the effective tax rate to 33% for fiscal year 2008 from 18% for fiscal year 2007.

On January 30, 2008, the Company entered into the Shares Purchase Agreement with CA pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to CA 20% of its existing 45% equity interest in SAHCO, located in the People’s Republic of China, for aggregate cash consideration of US $2,000. Upon conclusion of the transaction in July 2008, Analogic held a 25% equity interest in SAHCO. The Company had previously determined that its investment in SAHCO was impaired; and in fiscal year 2006, the Company wrote off the residual net book value of its equity interest. The Company recognized a $2,000 gain on investment in fiscal year 2008 when it was received in July 2008.

On April 14, 2008, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Copley. Copley is a leading supplier of gradient amplifiers for MRI and precision motion control systems used in computer-controlled automation systems. This acquisition will enable the Company to expand its product offerings to its OEM customers, pursue new opportunities in Asia, and enhance its position as a leading provider of medical subsystems for MRI scanners. Copley’s growing and profitable motion control business provides additional opportunities and a new avenue of growth in the high-technology automation market. The estimated purchase price, net of cash acquired, was approximately $74,682, which consisted of $76,875 of cash paid upon closing, $734 of transaction costs, which primarily consisted of fees incurred by the Company for financial advisory, legal and accounting services, $1,066 for estimated working capital adjustment payments, of which the entire amount was paid prior to July 31, 2008, and a current estimate of $1,000 due to the former stockholders of Copley to reimburse them for the additional tax costs of making an election to treat the acquisition as an asset sale for tax purposes, net of cash acquired of $4,993. In connection with the acquisition of Copley, the Company commenced integration activities, which have resulted in recognizing $1,276 in liabilities for personnel related costs and $150 for idle facility space. The Company expects to pay the liabilities associated with the personnel related costs and idle facility space through fiscal year 2009. Approximately $50 of payments have been made as of July 31, 2008.

In May 2008, the Company notified approximately 32 employees in various departments of the organization that they would be terminated by July 31, 2008. The costs associated with these terminations, which included severance and personnel related costs, was $597 and recorded as a restructuring cost in fiscal year 2008. At July 31, 2008, $309 of the $597 remains unpaid and is expected to be paid over the next 12 months.

On June 4, 2008, the Company announced a voluntary retirement program for all of its U.S. employees, under which the retirements are expected to be substantially completed by September 30, 2008. The total costs for the 52 employees who participated in the program, including severance and personnel related costs, was approximately $3,419 and recorded as a voluntary retirement cost during fiscal year 2008. As part of this program, Edmund F. Becker, Jr. voluntarily retired from employment with the Company on July 31, 2008.

The reduction in force implemented in May 2008 and the voluntary retirement program are expected to save the Company approximately $5,000 on an annual basis at current staffing levels.

Results of Operations

Fiscal Year 2008 Compared to Fiscal Year 2007

Net revenue and gross margin for fiscal year 2008 as compared with fiscal year 2007, are summarized in the tables below.

Product Revenue and Gross Margin

 

     Fiscal Year     Percentage
Growth
 
     2008     2007

Gross margin %

     38.1 %     35.7 %  

Product revenue for fiscal year 2008 increased $75,585, or 24%, over fiscal year 2007 due primarily to an increase in product revenue from all segments, as follows:

 

   

Medical Imaging Products revenue increased $43,478, or 24%, due primarily to shipments of newly developed data management systems to an OEM customer, the development of which was not completed by the Company until the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007. Also contributing to the increase in revenue for Medical Imaging Products were continued strong demand for data acquisition systems and the acquisition of Copley in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, which accounted for $18,300 of product revenue during fiscal year 2008.

 

   

Digital Radiography Products revenue increased $10,554, or 65%, due primarily to shipments of a newly developed mammography detector to an OEM customer, the development of which was not completed by the Company until the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007.

 

   

B-K Medical products revenue increased $12,178, or 15%, due primarily to a favorable change in the foreign currency exchange rate, which accounted for $7,088 of such increase.

 

   

Security Technology Products revenue increased $9,375, or 27%, due primarily to an increase in EXACT system sales to 63 units for fiscal year 2008 from 52 units for fiscal year 2007.

Product gross margin increased to 38.1% for fiscal year 2008 as compared with 35.7% for fiscal year 2007. The increase was due primarily to the asset impairment charge of $8,625 related to the write-down of assets in the digital radiography systems business in fiscal year 2007. For further information on the asset impairment charge of $8,625, see the “Fiscal Year 2007 Compared to Fiscal Year 2006 Results of Operations” asset impairment charge discussion on page 25 of this Form 10-K. Also contributing to the increase was improved product margins at B-K Medical due primarily to a higher mix of sales directly to end users versus distributors that provide higher margins and an increase in manufacturing efficiency of Security Technology Products due to higher production volumes and a reduction of manufacturing employees during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007. These increases were partially offset by $1,216 of amortization expense during fiscal year 2008 for the backlog intangible assets related to the acquisition of Copley on April 14, 2008.

Table of Contents

Engineering revenue for fiscal year 2008 decreased $3,093, or 18%, from fiscal year 2007. The decrease was due primarily to fewer customer funded engineering projects in Medical Imaging Products during fiscal year 2008 as compared to fiscal year 2007.

The engineering gross loss in fiscal year 2008 was $391 as compared to a gross margin of $1,446 for fiscal year 2007, a decline of $1,837, or 127%. The decrease was due primarily to the gross margin of $2,794 on three Security Technology Products projects during fiscal year 2007. These gross margins in fiscal year 2007 were partially offset by costs in excess of contract revenues for Medical Imaging Products projects of $1,706. The gross loss of $391 in fiscal year 2008 was due primarily to costs in excess of contract revenues of $766 for patient monitoring instrument projects, which were partially offset by a total of $434 of gross margin from several Security Technology products.

Other Revenue

Other revenue of $10,914 and $10,679 for fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively, represents revenue from the hotel operations. The increase was due primarily to an increase in room rates.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased $11,897, or 10.4%, in fiscal year 2008 as compared with fiscal year 2007 as shown below.

Research and product development expenses increased $1,992 for fiscal year 2008 over fiscal year 2007. The increase in expenses was due primarily to reduced customer funding of engineering development projects for Medical Imaging Products in fiscal year 2008 as compared to fiscal year 2007 as well as the acquisition of Copley in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, which accounted for $1,971 of research and development during fiscal year 2008. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in the headcount of Security Technology Products engineers at the end of fiscal year 2007.

Selling and marketing expenses increased $4,462 for fiscal year 2008 over fiscal year 2007. The increase was due primarily to an increase from the foreign currency exchange rate for B-K Medical, which accounted for an increase of $1,974, as well as an increase in bonus costs and sales commissions cost at B-K Medical of $362. Also contributing to the increase was the acquisition of Copley, which accounted for $1,548 of selling and marketing expenses during fiscal year 2008, of which $529 was for amortization expense of intangible assets related to the acquisition. These increases were partially offset by a reduction of $1,476 in expenses related to Digital Radiography Products as Anexa ceased selling and marketing efforts of its products in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008.

General and administrative expenses increased $2,507 for fiscal year 2008 over fiscal year 2007. The increase was due primarily to increases in bonus and profit sharing costs, share-based compensation expense, and executive transition costs, excluding Copley, of $1,926, $1,323, and $1,053, respectively. Also contributing to the increase was the foreign currency exchange rate for B-K Medical, which accounted for an increase of $758.

Table of Contents

These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $1,101 in amortization expense for intangible assets related to the acquisition of STI due to the intangible assets becoming fully amortized in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. Also partially offsetting the increases was receivable collections of $275 from SAHCO that were reserved for in the allowance for doubtful accounts in a prior period.

Voluntary retirement and other restructuring costs of $4,016 in fiscal year 2008 consisted primarily of severance and personnel related costs of $3,419 and $597 for the Company’s voluntary retirement program and involuntary terminations, respectively, which took place in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008.

Asset impairment charges were $0 for fiscal year 2008, as compared to $1,080 for fiscal year 2007. During fiscal year 2007, the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of $1,080 related to its digital radiography systems business. Included in this charge was $696 related to capitalized software still in development and $384 related to other assets.

Other (Income) Expense

Interest income, net was $7,935 for fiscal year 2008 as compared to $12,755 for fiscal year 2007. The decrease was due primarily to lower invested cash balances and lower effective interest rates due primarily to the Company’s $60,000 common stock repurchase in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007.

During fiscal year 2007, the Company recorded an equity loss in unconsolidated affiliates of $667 related to losses at PhotoDetection Systems, Inc. (“PDS”) during that period.

The gain on sale of other investments for fiscal year 2008 is due primarily to $2,000 from the sale of 20% of the Company’s 45% equity interest in SAHCO (for a remaining interest of 25%). Fiscal year 2007 includes $4,036 for dividend income and a gain on sale of the Company’s 17% ownership interest in BIR.

Other income, net was $715 and $226 for fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively. Other income in fiscal year 2008 consisted primarily of $555 the Company received from its insurance company as reimbursement for legal fees incurred in relation to an indemnification matter related to the Company’s sale of Camtronics in November 2005. Other income for fiscal year 2007 consisted primarily of a gain of $205 from the sale of assets of its wholly owned subsidiary, AnaSky Limited (“AnaSky”), formerly known as SKY Computers, Inc. Other income in fiscal year 2008 also included foreign currency exchange gains realized by the Company’s Canadian and Danish subsidiaries, while fiscal year 2007 included foreign currency exchange losses, as the U.S. dollar weakened against foreign currencies.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for fiscal years 2008 and 2007 was a provision of 33% and 18%, respectively. The effective tax rate for fiscal year 2008 included benefits of 3% and 1% from foreign operations and the U.S. domestic production deduction, respectively, as well as a benefit of 1% for the U.S. research and experimentation credit, which expired on December 31, 2007. These benefits were offset by a 3% provision due to an increase in tax reserves. The lower rate in fiscal year 2007 was due primarily to a benefit of 4% in conjunction with the closure of the AnaSky business, a benefit of 5% due to the release of tax reserves resulting from the expiration of statutes of limitation on prior year tax filings, and an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) refund of $313. The fiscal year 2007 rate also included the reinstatement of the U.S research and experimentation credit as of January 1, 2006 and a reduction in the Danish tax rate from 28% to 25%.

Fiscal Year 2007 Compared to Fiscal Year 2006

Net revenue and gross margin for fiscal year 2007 as compared with fiscal year 2006 are summarized in the tables below.

Product Revenue and Gross Margin

 

     Fiscal Year     Percentage Decline  
     2007     2006

Gross margin %

     35.7 %     36.6 %  

Product revenue for fiscal year 2007 decreased $10,565, or 3%, over fiscal year 2006, which was due primarily to Security Technology Products revenue of $34,582 for fiscal year 2007 as compared to $58,087 for fiscal year 2006, a decline of $23,505, or 40%. The decrease in Security Technology Products revenue was due primarily to a decline in shipments of EXACT systems to 52 units in fiscal year 2007 from 107 units in fiscal year 2006 due to a decline in orders. In addition, revenue from Digital Radiography Products declined by $7,407, or 31%, for fiscal year 2007 as compared to fiscal year 2006. The decline in Digital Radiography Products sales was consistent with the Company’s business outlook during the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 that led to an asset impairment charge of $9,705 as discussed under the section “Asset impairment charges” below. The November 1, 2006 sale of certain assets and liabilities of AnaSky, which had no revenue in fiscal year 2007 as compared to $4,868 for fiscal year 2006, also contributed to the product revenue decrease. These decreases were partially offset by increased sales of Medical Imaging Products and B-K Medical products of $11,924, or 7%, and $6,718, or 9%, respectively, during fiscal year 2007 as compared to fiscal year 2006. The increase in Medical Imaging Products revenue was driven by strong demand for 16-slice and 64-slice data acquisition systems, CT subsystems, and MRI subsystems. The increase in B-K Medical revenues was due primarily to foreign currency exchange rates.

Product gross margin decreased to 35.7% for fiscal year 2007, from 36.6% for fiscal year 2006. The decrease was due primarily to an increase in asset write-downs of $1,264 in fiscal year 2007 as compared to fiscal year 2006, which is discussed under the section “Asset impairment charges”. Also contributing to the

decrease in the product gross margin was the reduced manufacturing efficiency in Security Technology products caused by lower production volumes. These decreases were partially offset by efficiencies resulting from increased volume of certain Medical Technology Products such as the 16-slice and 64-slice data acquisition systems and CT subsystems as well as improved margins on ultrasound products as a result of favorable product and distribution channel price mix and continued product cost reductions.

Gross margin %

     8.4 %     -11.8 %  

Engineering revenue decreased $677, or 4%, for fiscal year 2007 as compared to fiscal year 2006. The decrease was due primarily to $1,900 of funding the Company received during fiscal year 2006 on a completed Digital Radiography Products project for which the costs had been expensed in prior periods due to the uncertainty of their recovery. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $1,673 in Medical Technology Products projects from $7,570 in fiscal year 2006 to $9,243 in fiscal year 2007 due to the completion of a data management system project for an OEM customer that resulted in revenue of $1,688 under the completed contract method. Engineering revenue for Security Technology Products remained relatively constant with $5,972 is fiscal year 2007 as compared to $6,224 in fiscal year 2006.

The engineering gross margin for fiscal year 2007 was $1,446 as compared to a loss of $2,104 for fiscal year 2006, an increase of $3,550. The increase was due primarily to gross margin of $2,000 on two contracts with the TSA related to Security Technology Products during fiscal year 2007. The increase was additionally due to the Company completing work on a Security Technology Products project that resulted in gross margin of $793 under the completed contract method. These increases were partially offset by costs in excess of contract revenue of $1,706 on Medical Technology Products projects. The loss of $2,104 for fiscal year 2006 was made up primarily of costs in excess of contract revenues for Medical Technology Products and Security Technology Products projects, which includes approximately $4,061 for three U.S. government projects. These costs in excess of contract revenues was partially offset by $1,900 of additional funds received on a completed project for which the costs had been previously expensed in prior periods due to the uncertainty of their recovery.

Other Revenue

Other revenue of $10,679 and $10,100 for fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively, represents revenue from the hotel operations. The increase was due primarily to higher occupancy rates and an increase in room rates.

Asset Impairment Charges

Asset impairment charges included in costs of sales increased by $1,264 from $7,361 in fiscal year 2006 to $8,625 in fiscal year 2007. The $7,361 of asset impairment charges incurred in fiscal year 2006 related to a write-down of $5,772 related to certain inventories of a CT Medical program due to uncertainty that arose with respect to the viability of the program based on discussions with an OEM customer. Also included in the $7,361 was a write-down of $1,179 related to AnaSky inventory as the result of the Company’s decision to restructure AnaSky during fiscal year 2006 based on continued lower-than-expected sales. During the quarter ended July 31, 2006, the Company decided to close the business operations of AnaSky based on continued lower-than-expected sales, which resulted in an additional write-down of $410 of inventory. On November 1, 2006, the Company sold certain assets of AnaSky and its obligation to service previously sold products for a purchase price of $405. The $405 includes $225 in cash paid at closing, $150 in cash paid after the closing for additional inventory, and the assumption of $30 in liabilities. The Company recorded a gain of $205 from the sale in fiscal year 2007.

As a result of continuing losses and the business outlook of its digital radiography systems business, during fiscal year 2007, the Company recorded asset impairment charges of $9,705 associated with the write-down of the digital radiography systems business assets to their estimated net realizable values as a group. Of the $9,705 asset impairment charges, $8,625 was recorded to cost of sales and $1,080 was recorded to operating expenses. The $8,625 asset impairment charge recorded to cost of sales included $4,144 related to inventory, $4,191 related to a software license, and $290 related to other assets. In August 2007, the Company notified customers of Anexa that sales and marketing of new Anexa products would cease immediately to new end-user customers, but that Analogic would continue to service and support the products currently with existing customers.

Research and product development expenses decreased $4,835 from fiscal year 2006 to fiscal year 2007. The decrease was related primarily to less spending on engineering and development materials, a decline in the share-based compensation expense of $531, the closure of AnaSky’s business operations last year, which had research and development spending of $983 in fiscal year 2006, and implemented cost saving initiatives.

Selling and marketing expenses increased $824 from fiscal year 2006 to fiscal year 2007. The increase was due primarily to increases in sales incentive bonuses and consulting costs of $496 and $511, respectively.

General and administrative expenses decreased $1,048 from fiscal year 2006 to fiscal year 2007. The decrease was related primarily to $687 from the closure of AnaSky’s business operations last year and a decline in the share-based compensation expense of $1,107 and Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance costs and audit fees of $2,122 from fiscal year 2006 to fiscal year 2007. These decreases were partially offset by a real estate tax abatement credit received during fiscal year 2006, which reduced spending in that period, and an increase in bonus and profit sharing costs of $1,129 from fiscal year 2006 to fiscal year 2007.

Voluntary retirement and other restructuring costs in fiscal year 2006 of $906 related to the termination of approximately 40 AnaSky employees, most of whom were engaged in product development, sales, and administrative activities. During fiscal year 2006, the Company decided to close the business operations of AnaSky based on continued lower than expected sales.

Restructuring and asset impairment charges were $1,080 for fiscal year 2007, as compared to $6,609 for fiscal year 2006. During fiscal year 2007, the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of $1,080 related to its digital radiography systems business. Included in this charge is $696 related to capitalized software still in development and $384 related to other assets. Fiscal year 2006 includes a charge of $6,609, which is made up of the following four items: a $5,808 asset impairment charge related primarily to the discontinuance of a medical CT workstation development program; a $216 impairment charge recorded for its investment in PDS based on the Company’s review for other-than-temporary impairment; a $275 impairment charge recorded for the Company’s investment in SAHCO based on a review for other-than-temporary impairment; and a $310 write-down of capital assets for AnaSky.

Other (Income) Expense

Interest income, net was $12,755 for fiscal year 2007 as compared to $10,155 for fiscal year 2006. The increase was due primarily to higher invested cash balances and to higher effective interest rates.

The Company recorded an equity loss in unconsolidated affiliates of $667 related to PDS for fiscal year 2007 compared to an equity loss of $787 for fiscal year 2006, of which $455 related to SAHCO and $332 related to PDS.

The gain on sale of other investments for fiscal year 2007 includes dividend income and a gain on sale of the Company’s 17% ownership interest in BIR totaling $4,036 in fiscal year 2007.

Other income was $226 and $14 for fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in other income was predominantly due to foreign currency exchange gains realized by the Company’s Canadian and Danish subsidiaries. In addition, during fiscal year 2007, the Company recorded a gain of $205 from the sale of AnaSky assets, which was offset by the recovery of a $197 bad debt write-off in a prior year during fiscal year 2006.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for fiscal years 2007 and 2006 was a provision of 18% and a benefit of 11%, respectively. The effective tax rate for fiscal year 2007 includes a benefit of 4% in conjunction with the closure of the AnaSky business and a benefit of 5% due to the release of tax reserves resulting from the expiration of statutes of limitations on prior year tax filings and for an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) refund of $313. The fiscal year 2007 rate also includes the reinstatement of the U.S research and experimentation credit as of January 1, 2006 and a reduction in the Danish tax rate from 28% to 25%. The lower rate in fiscal year 2006 was due primarily to reduced income, with a tax benefit from foreign operations due to a lower foreign tax rate. Also contributing to the reduced rate for fiscal year 2006 rate was the tax reserve release of $332 for an IRS refund and a provision-to-return adjustment in the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, which provided an out-of-period tax benefit of $329.

Net Income and Diluted Income From Continuing Operations per Share

Net income and diluted net income from continuing operations per share for fiscal year 2007 and fiscal year 2006, were as follows:

 

     Fiscal Year  
     2007     2006  

Income from continuing operations before discontinued operations and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle

   $ 15,380     $ 4,600  

% of net revenue

     4.5 %     1.3 %

Diluted income from continuing operations per share

   $ 1.10     $ 0.33  

Net income from continuing operations was $15,380 for fiscal year 2007 as compared to net income from continuing operations of $4,600 for fiscal year 2006. Basic and diluted income per share from continuing operations for fiscal year 2007 was $1.11 and $1.10, respectively, as compared to basic and diluted income per share from continuing operations of $0.34 and $0.33, respectively, for fiscal year 2006. Net income for fiscal years 2007 and 2006 included pre-tax charges of $9,705 and $14,876, respectively, related to asset impairments and restructuring. Net income from fiscal year 2007 also includes dividend income and a gain on sale of the Company’s 17% ownership interest in BIR, totaling $4,036.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $186,442 and $228,545 at July 31, 2008 and July 31, 2007, respectively. Working capital was $287,260 and $300,114 at July 31, 2008 and July 31, 2007,

respectively. The Company’s balance sheet reflected a decline in the current ratio to 4.9 to 1 at July 31, 2008 as compared to 5.6 to 1 at July 31, 2007, due primarily to the acquisition of Copley during the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 for an estimated purchase price, net of cash acquired, of $74,682. Liquidity has been provided principally through funds provided from operations with short-term time deposits and marketable securities available to provide additional sources of cash.

At July 31, 2008, the Company holds $69,213 of cash equivalents and marketable securities in government sponsored entities, such as the Federal Home Loan Bank, of which $43,650 have liquidated in the normal course subsequent to the balance sheet date. The Company periodically reviews its investment portfolio to determine if any investments are impaired due to changes in credit risk or other potential valuation concerns. The Company believes that its cash equivalents and marketable securities are appropriately valued at July 31, 2008 and is not aware of any market events to date that would impact their valuation. This could change in the future should new developments arise in the credit markets.

The Company faces exposure to financial market risks, including adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates, and changes in interest rates. These exposures can change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial results. The Company’s primary exposure is related to fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and local currencies for the Company’s subsidiaries in Canada and Europe.

The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and trade payables approximate fair value at July 31, 2008, due to the short maturities of these instruments.

Cash equivalents totaled $173,912 at July 31, 2008 and consisted entirely of highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the time of purchase. Held-to-maturity marketable securities having maturities from the time of purchase in excess of three months totaled $12,530 at July 31, 2008 and are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $47,810 in fiscal year 2008, $34,221 in fiscal year 2007, and $12,516 in fiscal year 2006. The cash flows generated from operating activities from continuing operations in fiscal year 2008 were due primarily to net income of $23,486, the non-cash impact of voluntary retirement and other restructuring costs of $4,016, depreciation and amortization of $15,620, share-based compensation expense of $3,384, and a provision for deferred income taxes of $5,836. These amounts were partially offset by the gain on sale of other investments totaling $2,084 and a net change in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquired business, of $1,856. The net changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquired business, of $1,856 in fiscal year 2008 was due primarily to an increase in inventories of $5,391, an increase and refundable income taxes of $2,202, a decrease in accrued liabilities of $1,972, and a decrease in advanced payments and deferred revenue of $1,556. These changes were partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $7,798 and an increase in accrued income taxes of $831.

The increase in inventories during fiscal year 2008 of $5,391 was due primarily to increased production volumes. The increase in refundable income taxes of $2,202 during fiscal year 2008 was due primarily to an increase in expected federal and state tax refunds. The decrease in accrued liabilities during fiscal year 2008 of $1,972 was due primarily to a decline in warranty costs and loss accruals for engineering. The decrease in advance payments and deferred revenue during fiscal year 2008 of $1,556 was due primarily to the recognition of approximately $2,148 in revenue, which was deferred as of July 31, 2007, as the final element of a contract without fair value that was delivered in February 2008.

The decrease in accounts receivable during fiscal year 2008 of $7,798 was due primarily to collections in the U.S. The increase in accrued income taxes of $831 during fiscal year 2008 was due primarily to an increase in uncertain tax positions.

Net cash used for investing activities was $99,050 and $1,587 in fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively, as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $29,452 in fiscal year 2006. The cash used for investing activities in fiscal year 2008 was due primarily to the purchase of short-term held-to-maturity marketable

securities, the acquisition of Copley, net of cash acquired, and capital expenditures of $131,223, $73,682, and $14,688, respectively, partially offset by the maturities of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity marketable securities of $120,693.

Net cash used for financing activities was $2,376 and $60,001 in fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $248 for fiscal year 2006. Net cash used for financing activities in fiscal year 2008 consisted of $5,340 for dividends paid to stockholders which was partially offset by cash received from the issuance of stock pursuant to the Company’s employee stock option, employee stock purchase, and non-employee director stock plans of $2,598.

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

Commitments, Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company’s contractual obligations at July 31, 2008, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on liquidity and cash flows in future periods are as follows:

 

Contractual Obligation

   Total    Less than
1 year
   1 - 3 years    More than
3 years - 5 years
   More than
5 years

Operating leases

   $ 10,717    $ 3,487    $ 4,810    $ 1,524    $ 896

Purchasing obligations

     46,991      42,738      4,253      —        —  
                                  
   $ 57,708    $ 46,225    $ 9,063    $ 1,524    $ 896
                                  

As of July 31, 2008, the total liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions under FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, were $7,840 as a result of the Company’s adoption of FIN No. 48. Due to the complexity associated with the Company’s tax uncertainties, it cannot make a reasonably reliable estimate of the period in which it expects to settle the non-current liabilities associated with these uncertain tax positions. Therefore, these amounts have not been included in the contractual obligations table.

The Company currently has approximately $24,800 in revolving credit facilities with various banks available for direct borrowings. There were no direct borrowings or off-balance sheet arrangements in fiscal year 2008 or fiscal year 2007.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 prescribes a single definition of fair value as the price that is received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the Company’s interim reporting period beginning August 1, 2008. In February 2008, the FASB issued a Staff Position that has (1) partially deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for one year for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities and (2) removed certain leasing transactions from the scope of SFAS No. 157. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-including an amendment of SFAS No. 115”. The new statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item’s fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which will be the Company’s fiscal year ending July 31, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

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

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

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 142-3, “Determining the Useful Life of Intangible Assets.” FSP No. FAS 142-3 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful lives of recognized intangible assets. FSP No. FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not believe the adoption of FSP No. FAS 142-3 will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”, which will provide a framework for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for nongovernmental entities. Prior to the issuance of SFAS No. 162, the GAAP hierarchy was defined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ (AICPA) Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 69, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. With the issuance of SFAS No. 162, the GAAP hierarchy for nongovernmental entities will move from auditing literature to accounting literature. SFAS No. 162 will be effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS No. 162 on its financial position and results of operations.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities”, which classifies unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) as participating securities and requires them to be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method described in SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. This Staff Position is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. All prior-period earnings per share data presented are to be adjusted retrospectively (including interim financial statements, summaries of earnings, and selected financial data) to conform with the provisions of this Staff Position, with early application not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the adoption of FSP No. EITF 03-6-1 will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company’s most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. These policies include estimates and significant judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expense, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company continues to evaluate its estimates and judgments on an on-going basis. By their nature, these policies require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates on matters that are inherently uncertain. In the case of the Company’s critical accounting policies, these estimates and judgments are based on its historical experience, terms of existing contracts, the Company’s observance of trends in the industry, information provided by its customers, and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. The Company believes the following accounting policies and estimates require management to make the most difficult judgments in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accordingly are critical.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable

The Company recognizes its product revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”. Revenue related to product sales is recognized upon shipment provided that title and risk of loss have 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. The Company’s sales contracts generally provide for the customer to accept title and risk of loss when the product leaves the Company’s facilities. When shipping terms or local laws do not allow for passage of title and risk of loss at the shipping point, the Company defers recognizing revenue until title and risk of loss transfer to the customer. The Company classifies shipping and handling invoiced to customers as revenue and the related costs in cost of sales. Sales and other taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to government authorities are recorded as accounts receivable with a corresponding offset recorded to sales taxes payable. These balances are removed from the consolidated balance sheet when the cash is remitted to the tax authority. The Company includes service revenue, related primarily to extended warranty contracts and repairs, in the product revenue line item of its Consolidated Statement of Operations, as they are deemed immaterial for separate classification.

The Company’s transactions sometimes involve multiple elements (i.e., products and services). Revenue under multiple element arrangements is recognized in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”. Under this method, if an element is determined to be a separate unit of accounting, the revenue for the element is based on fair value and determined by vendor objective evidence (“VOE”), and recognized at the time of delivery. If an arrangement includes undelivered elements that are not essential to the functionality of the delivered elements, the Company defers that fair value of the undelivered elements with the residual revenue allocated to the delivered elements. Fair value is determined based upon the price charged when the element is sold separately. If there is not sufficient evidence of the fair value of the undelivered elements, no revenue is allocated to the delivered elements and the total consideration received is deferred until delivery of those elements for which objective and reliable evidence of the fair value is not available. Maintenance or service revenues are recognized ratably over the life of the contract.

For business units that sell software licenses or products in which the software is considered more than incidental, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”)’s Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition”. The application of SOP 97-2 requires judgment, including whether a software arrangement includes multiple

Table of Contents

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 regard to installation or implementation remain, fees are fixed or determinable, collectibility is probable, and customer acceptance, when applicable, is obtained. The Company allocates revenue first to the fair value of the undelivered elements and then allocates the residual revenue to the delivered elements. Hardware and software maintenance is marketed under annual and multi-year arrangements and revenue is recognized ratably over the contracted maintenance term.

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 generally estimates the progress towards completion on contracts with a fixed-fee arrangement on a monthly basis utilizing costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated costs at completion of the project or on a milestone basis, as appropriate. If the Company does not have a sufficient basis to measure progress towards completion, revenue and related costs are deferred and recognized upon completion of the contract. When total cost estimates exceed total revenues, the Company accrues for the estimated losses immediately.

Deferred revenue is comprised of: (1) 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 VOE, or VSOE, of fair value is not available for components not yet delivered or accepted by the customer.

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 of its customers’ financial condition. The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon specific customer collection issues that have been identified.

Share-based compensation

Effective August 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment. (See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Under SFAS No. 123(R), the Company is required to record compensation cost for all share-based payments granted after the date of adoption based on the grant date fair value, estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), and for the unvested portion of all share-based payments previously granted that remain outstanding based on the grant date fair value, estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the fair value of the Company’s restricted stock awards based on the quoted market price of its common stock. The Company recognizes the associated share-based compensation on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods of the awards, net of estimated forfeitures. Forfeiture rates are estimated based on historical pre-vesting forfeitures and are updated on the vesting dates to reflect actual forfeitures.

The choice of a valuation technique, and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions for that technique, involve significant judgments. These judgments reflect management’s assessment of the most accurate method of valuing the stock options the Company issues, based on the Company’s historical experience, knowledge of current conditions, and beliefs of what could occur in the future given available information. The Company’s judgments could change over time as additional information becomes available, or the facts underlying its assumptions change over time, and any change in the Company’s judgments could have a material effect on its financial statements. Management believes that its estimates incorporate all relevant information and represent a reasonable approximation in light of the difficulties involved in valuing non-traded stock options.

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, product life cycles, and changes in technology. A variety of methodologies are used to determine the amount of inventory reserves necessary for excess and obsolete inventory. Write-downs are based upon the age of the inventory, lower of cost or market, along with significant management judgments concerning future demands for the inventory. If actual demand for the Company’s products is less than its estimates, or the Company experiences a higher incidence of inventory obsolescence because of rapidly changing technology and customer requirements, additional write-downs for existing inventories might be recorded in future periods. Once recorded, inventory valuation provisions are not subsequently reversed until the inventory is used or disposed of.

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 maintains a limited bond investment portfolio of various types and maturities with high-credit-quality issuers. Cash and cash equivalents not required for working capital purposes are placed in short-term investments of government agency discounted notes with original maturities of three months or less. 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 continuously monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon specific customer collection 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 among relatively few customers, a significant change in the liquidity or financial position of any one of these customers could have a material adverse impact on the collectibility of accounts receivable 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 obligations are affected by product failure rates and service delivery costs incurred to correct product failures. Should actual product failure rates or service delivery 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. Generally, the Company warrants that its products will perform in all material respects in accordance with its standard published specifications in effect at the time of delivery of the products to the customer for a period ranging from 12 to 24 months from the date of delivery.

Investments in and Advances to Affiliated Companies

The Company has investments in companies whose business relates to the Company’s strategic focus. Investments in companies over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for under the equity method if the Company’s ownership interest ranges from 20% to 50%. Investments in companies over which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for under the cost method. In assessing the recoverability of these investments, the Company must make certain assumptions and judgments based upon 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 entities operate.

Table of Contents

Business Combinations

The Company applies the purchase accounting method to account for business combinations, which requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase price to the fair market value of the assets and liabilities purchased, with the excess value, if any, being classified as goodwill. For those assets with finite lives, useful lives are assigned to those intangibles and their values are amortized over their remaining life. The Company reviews the intangible assets and their related useful lives as events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. The Company may conduct more frequent impairment assessments if certain conditions exist, including: a change in the competitive landscape, any internal decisions to pursue new or different technology strategies, a loss of a significant customer, or a significant change in the market place including changes in the prices paid for the Company’s products or changes in the size of the market for the Company’s products.

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

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

Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets

Intangible assets consist of intellectual property, licenses, capitalized software, and certain identifiable intangible assets resulting from business combinations, including trade names, customer relationships, backlog, and developed technology. Other long-lived assets consist primarily of property, plant, and equipment. These assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of their carrying value to future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate over their remaining economic life. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in earnings equals the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair market value determined by either a quoted market price, if any, or a value determined by utilizing a discounted cash flow technique. Evaluation of impairment of long-lived assets requires estimates of future operating results that are used in the preparation of the expected future undiscounted cash flows. Actual future operating results and the remaining economic lives of long-lived assets could differ from the estimates used in assessing the recoverability of these assets. These differences could result in impairment charges, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations.

Income Taxes

The Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions within which it operates. This process involves assessing temporary 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

Table of Contents

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 than likely, 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 and results of operations could be materially impacted. The Company establishes liabilities for possible assessments by taxing authorities resulting from known tax exposures including, but not limited to, certain tax credits and various federal, state, and foreign tax matters. The Company does not provide for U.S. Federal income taxes on undistributed earnings of all consolidated foreign subsidiaries, as such earnings are considered 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.

 

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

All dollar amounts in this Item 7A are in thousands.

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

The Company’s cash and investments include cash equivalents, which the Company considers to be investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less. Investments having original maturities in excess of three months are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are classified as held to maturity. Total interest income for fiscal year 2008 was $7,936. An interest rate change of 10% would not have a material impact on the fair value of the portfolio or on future earnings.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure 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 of July 31, 2008. The term “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions to be made regarding required disclosure. It

should be noted that any system of controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met and that management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of July 31, 2008, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). A Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the interim or annual consolidated financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company’s management, with the participation of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2008, based on the framework in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s assessment did not include evaluating the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting of recently acquired Copley Controls Corporation (“Copley”) or Copley’s subsidiary, the consolidated results of which are included in the Company’s fiscal year 2008 consolidated financial statements and constituted 17% of total assets as of July 31, 2008 and 4% of revenue for the year then ended. Based on this assessment, the Company’s management concluded that, as of July 31, 2008, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting at July 31, 2008 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To Board of Directors and Stockholders of Analogic Corporation:

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(1), present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Analogic Corporation and its subsidiaries at July 31, 2008 and July 31, 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index appearing under Item 15(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included 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. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

As discussed in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for uncertain tax positions as of August 1, 2007 and as discussed in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for pension obligations as of July 31, 2007.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management has excluded Copley Controls Corporation, a 100% owned subsidiary, from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2008 because it acquired the Company in a business combination in fiscal year 2008. The excluded elements represent controls over accounts of approximately 17% of consolidated assets and 4% of consolidated revenues for the year ended July 31, 2008.

ANALOGIC CORPORATION

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 was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in November 1967. Analogic Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Analogic” or the “Company”) are engaged primarily in the design, manufacture and sale of high performance data acquisition and signal processing instruments to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) for use in advanced health and security systems and subsystems. In addition, one of Analogic’s subsidiaries sells products under its own name directly to niche clinical ultrasound end-user markets.

The Company reports its financial condition and results of operations on a fiscal year basis ending on July 31st of each year.

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 20 to 50 percent, and the Company exercises significant influence over the investee’s operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method. Other investments are accounted for using the cost method. On November 1, 2005, the Company sold its wholly owned subsidiary, Camtronics. This business has been reported as a discontinued operation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” and all periods presented have been restated accordingly to reflect these operations as discontinued. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

(b) 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, product life cycle, and changes in technology. A variety of methodologies are used to determine the amount of inventory write-downs necessary for excess and obsolete inventory. The write-downs are based upon the age of the inventory, lower of cost or market, along with other significant management judgments concerning future demands for the inventory. Once recorded, inventory valuation provisions are not subsequently reversed, unless the inventory is used or disposed of.

(c) Property, plant, and equipment:

Property, plant, and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. 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 the Company’s Statements of Operations. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred while the costs of significant improvements, which extend the life of the underlying asset, are capitalized.

(Continued)

 

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

 

Buildings

   35 to 40 years

Manufacturing equipment

   4 to 7 years

Furniture, fixtures, and computer equipment

   3 to 8 years

Leasehold improvements

   shorter of useful life or the lease term

Motor vehicles

   3 to 5 years

The Company reviews property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of their carrying amount to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate over their remaining economic lives. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in earnings equals the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair market value determined by either a quoted market price, if any, or a value determined by utilizing a discounted cash flow technique. If such assets are not impaired, but their useful lives have decreased, the remaining net book value is amortized over the revised useful life.

Property, plant, and equipment consisted of the following:

 

     July 31,  
     2008     2007  

Property, plant, and equipment:

    

Land and land improvements

   $ 7,096     $ 6,668  

Building and improvements

     74,369       70,858  

Leasehold and capital lease improvements

     9,416       8,454  

Manufacturing equipment

     121,918       109,792  

Furniture, fixtures, and computer equipment

     56,156       51,009  

Motor vehicles

     1,983       1,665  
                
     270,938       248,446  

Less accumulated depreciation and amortization

     (180,533 )     (167,964 )
                
   $ 90,405     $ 80,482  
                

Total depreciation of property, plant, and equipment was $12,209, $11,766 and $11,809 for fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. The Company did not capitalize any interest in fiscal years 2008, 2007, or 2006.

(d) Revenue recognition and accounts receivable:

The Company recognizes its product revenue in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”. Revenue related to product sales is recognized upon shipment provided that title and risk of loss have 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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Continued)

 

recognized upon customer acceptance, provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. The Company’s sales contracts generally provide for the customer to accept title and risk of loss when the product leaves the Company’s facilities. When shipping terms or local laws do not allow for passage of title and risk of loss at the shipping point, the Company defers recognizing revenue until title and risk of loss transfer to the customer. The Company classifies shipping and handling invoiced to customers as revenue and the related costs in cost of sales. Sales and other taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to government authorities are recorded as accounts receivable with a corresponding offset recorded to sales taxes payable. These balances are removed from the consolidated balance sheet when the cash is remitted to the tax authority. The Company includes service revenue, related primarily to extended warranty contracts and repairs, in the product revenue line item of its Consolidated Statement of Operations as they are deemed immaterial for separate classification.

The Company’s transactions sometimes involve multiple elements (i.e., products and services). Revenue under multiple element arrangements is recognized in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”. Under this method, if an element is determined to be a separate unit of accounting, the revenue for the element is based on fair value and determined by vendor objective evidence (“VOE”), and recognized at the time of delivery. If an arrangement includes undelivered elements that are not essential to the functionality of the delivered elements, the Company defers that fair value of the undelivered elements with the residual revenue allocated to the delivered elements. Fair value is determined based upon the price charged when the element is sold separately. If there is not sufficient evidence of the fair value of the undelivered elements, no revenue is allocated to the delivered elements and the total consideration received is deferred until delivery of those elements for which objective and reliable evidence of the fair value is not available. Maintenance or service revenues are recognized ratably over the life of the contract.

For business units that sell software licenses or products in which the software is considered more than incidental, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”)’s Statement of Position (“SOP”) 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 regard to installation or implementation remain, fees are fixed or determinable, collectibility is probable, and customer acceptance, when applicable, is obtained. The Company allocates revenue first to the fair value of the undelivered elements and then allocates the residual revenue to the delivered elements. Hardware and software maintenance is marketed under annual and multi-year arrangements and revenue is recognized ratably over the contracted maintenance term.

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 generally estimates the progress towards completion on contracts with a fixed-fee arrangement on a monthly basis utilizing costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated costs at completion of the project or on a milestone basis, as appropriate. If the Company does not have a sufficient basis to measure progress towards completion, revenue and related costs are deferred and recognized upon completion of the contract. When total cost estimates exceed revenues, the Company accrues for the estimated losses immediately.

Deferred revenue is comprised of: (1) 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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Continued)

 

of a multiple-element arrangement for which VOE, or VSOE, of fair value is not available for components not yet delivered or accepted by the customer.

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 of its customers’ financial condition. The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon specific customer collection issues that have been identified.

(e) 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 obligations are affected by product failure rates and service delivery costs incurred to correct product failures. Should actual product failure rates or service delivery 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. Generally, the Company warrants that its products will perform in all material respects in accordance with its standard published specifications in effect at the time of delivery of the products to the customer for a period ranging from 12 to 24 months from the date of delivery.

(f) Research and development and capitalized software development costs:

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

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 Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed”. Technological feasibility is demonstrated by the completion of a detailed program design. Capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the economic lives of the related products, generally three years. Amortization expense of software development expense was $926, $739, and $1,157 in fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively, and is included in product cost of sales. The unamortized balance of capitalized software was $4,422 and $2,319 at July 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

(g) 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. The Company does not provide for U.S. Federal income taxes on undistributed earnings of all consolidated foreign subsidiaries as such earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested in those operations. For disclosure purposes, calculations 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.

(h) 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.

(i) 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 and cash equivalents, primarily in short-term investments of government agencies discounted notes, amounted to $173,912 and $226,545 at July 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

(j) 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. Cash and cash equivalents not required for working capital purposes are placed in short-term investments of government agency discounted notes. 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.

(k) Marketable securities:

The Company’s marketable securities are categorized as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, as defined by SFAS 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 statements of operations under the caption other income or expenses. For the purpose of computing realized gains and losses, cost is identified on a specific identification basis.

(l) Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 percentage of completion of contracts; estimates of fair value for investments in privately held companies; intangible assets; valuation allowances against deferred tax assets; and accruals for product warranty, other liabilities, income taxes, and various estimates used in the calculation of stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(m) Comprehensive income:

SFAS No. 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 reported net income plus foreign currency translation gains (net of

taxes), changes in the unrealized value of marketable securities (net of taxes), actuarial gains on pension plan assets (net of taxes). As of July 31, 2008 and 2007, accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders equity totaled $18,572 and $10,225, respectively.

(n) Share-Based Compensation

Effective August 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which established accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). Prior to August 1, 2005, the Company accounted for share-based compensation to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. The Company also followed the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. Therefore, no stock-based employee compensation expense had been recorded in connection with the issuance of employee and director stock options as all stock options granted under the plans were fixed awards and had an exercise price equal to the market value of the common stock at the time of the grant. Stock-based compensation expenses related to restricted stock granted at no cost to the employees were reflected in net income. The Company elected to adopt the modified prospective transition method as provided by SFAS No. 123(R).

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the fair value of the Company’s restricted stock awards based on the quoted market price of its common stock. The Company recognizes the associated share-based compensation on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods of the awards, net of estimated forfeitures. Forfeiture rates are estimated based on historical pre-vesting forfeitures and are updated on the vesting dates to reflect actual forfeitures.

(o) Fair value of financial instruments:

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

(p) Impairment of long-lived assets:

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets, in accordance with SFAS No. 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. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow analysis. The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the estimated undiscounted cash flows of the asset as compared to the recorded value of the asset.

(q) Segment information:

The Company operates primarily within two major markets within the electronics industry: Medical Technology Products and Security Technology Products. Medical Technology Products consists of three reporting segments: Medical Imaging Products, which consists primarily of electronic systems and subsystems

for medical imaging equipment and patient monitoring; Digital Radiography Products, which consists primarily of X-ray detectors and direct digital radiography systems for diagnostic and interventional applications in mammography, orthopedic, and general radiology applications; and B-K Medical ApS (“B-K Medical”) for ultrasound systems and probes in the urology, surgery, and radiology markets. Security Technology Products consists of advanced weapon and threat detection systems and subsystems.

(r) 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, payables, and investments, are included in operations in the period in which they occur and are reflected in the results of operations in other income, net. The Company had foreign exchange gains totaling $440 in fiscal year 2008, foreign exchange gains totaling $63 in fiscal year 2007, and foreign exchange losses totaling $161 in fiscal year 2006.

(s) Business Combinations:

In accordance with the purchase method of accounting and SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”, the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are determined and recorded as of the date of the acquisition. Costs to acquire the business, including transaction costs, are allocated to the fair value of net assets acquired. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

As part the allocation of purchase price, the Company records liabilities, including idle facility space and certain employee severance costs, in accordance with EITF Issue No. 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination”.

(t) Intangible assets and goodwill:

Intangible assets consist of intellectual property, licenses, capitalized software, and certain identifiable intangible assets resulting from business combinations, including trade names, customer relationships, backlog, and developed technology. These assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of their carrying value to future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate over their remaining economic life. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in earnings equals the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair market value determined by either a quoted market price, if any, or a value determined by utilizing a discounted cash flow technique. Evaluation of impairment of long-lived assets requires estimates of future operating results that are used in the preparation of the expected future undiscounted cash flows. Actual future operating results and the remaining economic lives of long-lived assets could differ from the estimates used in assessing the recoverability of these assets. These differences could result in impairment charges, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations.

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

(u) New accounting pronouncements:

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 prescribes a single definition of fair value as the price that is received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the Company’s interim reporting period beginning August 1, 2008. In February 2008, the FASB issued a Staff Position that has (1) partially deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for one year for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities and (2) removed certain leasing transactions from the scope of SFAS No. 157. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-including an amendment of SFAS No. 115”. The new statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item’s fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which will be the Company’s fiscal year ending July 31, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

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

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51”. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. This statement is effective for

the Company beginning on August 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 160 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 142-3, “Determining the Useful Life of Intangible Assets.” FSP No. FAS 142-3 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful lives of recognized intangible assets. FSP No. FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not believe the adoption of FSP No. FAS 142-3 will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”, which will provide a framework for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for nongovernmental entities. Prior to the issuance of SFAS No. 162, the GAAP hierarchy was defined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ (AICPA) Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 69, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. With the issuance of SFAS No. 162, the GAAP hierarchy for nongovernmental entities will move from auditing literature to accounting literature. SFAS No. 162 will be effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS No. 162 on its financial position and results of operations.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities”, which classifies unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) as participating securities and requires them to be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method described in SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. This Staff Position is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. All prior-period earnings per share data presented are to be adjusted retrospectively (including interim financial statements, summaries of earnings, and selected financial data) to conform with the provisions of this Staff Position, with early application not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the adoption of FSP No. EITF 03-6-1 will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

(v) Basis of presentation:

Certain prior years’ financial statement items have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications did not impact net income.

2. Discontinued operations:

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2006, the Company sold its wholly owned subsidiary, Camtronics, for $40,000 in cash, and realized net proceeds of $38,906 after transactional costs. The Company recorded a net gain on the sale of Camtronics of $20,207, net of a tax provision of $8,885, or $1.46 per diluted share. In determining the gain, the Company also provided for estimated indemnification and tax liabilities of $2,406.

Prior to the sale, Camtronics had been reported as a separate segment. The Company sold its Camtronics operating segment to better focus on its other core lines of business. This business has been reported as a discontinued operation in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” and all periods presented have been revised accordingly to reflect these operations as discontinued.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the exercise price of the award, the expected option term, the expected volatility of the Company’s stock over the option’s expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the option’s expected term, and the Company’s expected annual dividend yield. The Company believes that the valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair values of the Company’s outstanding stock options granted during fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by persons who receive equity awards.

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions for fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006 as follows:

 

     Year Ended July 31,  
     2008     2007     2006  

Expected option term (1)

   4.75 years     5.04 years     5.25 years  

Expected volatility factor (2)

   31 %   31 %   30 %

Risk-free interest rate (3)

   4.71 %   4.71 %   3.94 %

Expected annual dividend yield

   0.6 %   0.6 %   0.7 %

 

(1) The option life was determined by estimating the expected option life, using either historical data or the simplified method under SAB No. 107, “Share-Based Payment”.
(2) The stock volatility for each grant is determined based on the review of the experience of the weighted average of historical daily price changes of the Company’s common stock over the most recent five years, which approximates the expected option life of the grant.

(3) The risk-free interest rate for periods equal to the expected term of the share option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

Stock Incentive Plans

On January 28, 2008, the Company’s stockholders approved a new share-based director compensation plan for the non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) named the “Analogic Corporation Non-Employee Director Stock Plan” (the “Director Plan”). During fiscal year 2008, 1,104 shares were granted under this plan.

The Director Plan provides for an Annual Share Retainer to be granted to each participant on each February 1. The Annual Share Retainer for calendar year 2008 had a value of $35. Each participant may elect to receive some or all of (i) his or her Annual Share Retainer for a given calendar year or (ii) his or her Annual Cash Retainer (which consists of the annual base cash compensation he or she receives for service on the Board and on any committees of the Board, and, if applicable, all other compensation received for service as Chairman of the Board and as a Committee Chairman) in the form of “Deferred Stock Units”, as elected by the participant no later than December 15 of the preceding calendar year. The value of the Deferred Stock Units credited to this account change in relation to changes in the value of a share of the Company’s common stock. Additional Deferred Stock Units are credited to this account based on the value of dividend equivalents that are earned on Deferred Stock Units, and which will be equal to dividends that are paid on a corresponding number of shares of common stock. The payout of the deferred stock units value shall be made in a single cash payment within thirty days following a Director’s termination of service on the Board or sooner, if so elected by the Director. During fiscal year 2008, approximately $245 of Annual Share Retainers and $13 of Annual Cash Retainers were deferred into approximately 4,065 Deferred Stock Units at a weighted average price of $63.35 per share. Dividend equivalents on these deferred stock units were deferred into approximately 13 Deferred Stock Units during fiscal year 2008.

During fiscal year 2007, the Company’s stockholders approved two share-based compensation plans, named the “2007 Stock Option Plan” and the “2007 Restricted Stock Plan”.

Under the Company’s 2007 Stock Option Plan, options may either be non-qualified options or incentive stock options and may not be granted at an exercise price less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant (or less than 110% of the fair market value in the case of incentive stock options granted to optionees holding more than 10% of the voting power of the Company). Options may not be granted for a term in excess of ten years (or five years in the case of incentive stock options granted to optionees holding more than 10% of the voting power of the Company). Except in certain circumstances, options that vest based on continued service of the optionee may not vest earlier than one year from the date of grant. Unless otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) in the specific option agreement, each option will vest as to 25% of the number of shares of common stock underlying the option on each of the second, third, fourth, and fifth anniversaries of the date of grant.

Under the Company’s 2007 Restricted Stock Plan, recipients are awarded shares of common stock, subject to the right of the Company to repurchase all or part of such shares from the recipient in the event that the conditions specified in the applicable award are not satisfied prior to the end of the applicable restriction period established for such award. Such conditions may include the achievement of performance goals or continued service with the Company. Except in certain circumstances, awards that vest based on continued service may not vest earlier than in three equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. The Committee may condition an award on the recipient not competing with the Company for a one-year period following termination of such recipient’s employment with the Company.

During fiscal year 2008, the Committee granted target awards of 100,183 shares (the “2008—2010 award”) of performance contingent restricted stock under the Company’s 2007 Restricted Stock Plan, of which 2,111 shares have been forfeited. These shares will vest if specific pre-established levels of performance are achieved at the end of a three-year performance cycle. The performance goal for the 2008—2010 award is based solely on the cumulative growth of an adjusted earnings per share metric. The actual number of shares to be issued will be determined at the end of a three-year performance cycle and can range from zero to 200% of the target award, or up to 200,366 shares, and also includes payment of dividend equivalents on the actual number of shares earned. The maximum compensation expense for the 2008—2010 award is $11,599 based on a weighted-average grant date fair value of $59.13 per share. Compensation expense is being recognized over the performance period based on the number of shares that is deemed to be probable of vesting at the end of the three-year performance cycle. Since it is still early in the three-year performance cycle, only 63,316 shares, or a value of $3,744, was deemed probable of vesting as of July 31, 2008 as compared to the target award of 100,183 shares. During fiscal year 2008, $1,020 of compensation expense was recognized for the 2008-2010 award based on the amount of shares deemed probable of vesting.

Prior to fiscal year 2007, the Company had 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 (one of which has lapsed as to the granting of options), 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 ending 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. 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, restricted common stock may be granted to key employees under terms and conditions as determined by the Board. 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.

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 during each calendar year.

The fair value of each option granted under the employee stock purchase plan was estimated on the expected grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

     Year Ended July 31,  
     2008     2007     2006  

Expected option term

   .5 years     .5 years     .5 years

As of July 31, 2008, there was $5,812 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Company’s stock option and restricted stock bonus plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years. The Company amortizes stock-based compensation on the straight-line method.

The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from option exercises totaled $366, $818, and $1,402 for fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.

4. Business combination

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

The estimated purchase price, net of cash acquired, was approximately $74,682, which consisted of $76,875 of cash paid upon closing, $734 of transaction costs, which primarily consisted of fees incurred by the Company for financial advisory, legal and accounting services, $1,066 for estimated working capital adjustment payments, of which the entire amount was paid prior to July 31, 2008, and a current estimate of $1,000 due to the former stockholders of Copley to reimburse them for the additional tax costs of making an election to treat the acquisition as an asset sale for tax purposes, net of cash acquired of $4,993. A reconciliation of the total estimated purchase price, net of cash acquired, is below:

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

 

Current assets

      $ 35,686  

Property, plant, and equipment

        3,912  

Goodwill

        3,534  

Intangible assets:

     

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

   11,771   

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

   25,200   

Tradename (indefinite life)

   7,607   

Backlog (estimated useful life of 0.5 years)

   2,063   
       

Total intangible assets

        46,641  

Current liabilities

        (10,098 )
           

Total purchase price

      $ 79,675  
           

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

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

In connection with the acquisition of Copley, the Company commenced integration activities which have resulted in recognizing $1,276 in liabilities for personnel-related costs and $150 for idle facility space. The Company expects to pay the liabilities associated with the personnel-related costs and idle facility space through the fiscal year 2009. Approximately $50 of payments have been made as of July 31, 2008.

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

 

     Year Ended July 31,
     2008    2007

Net revenue

   $ 471,204    $ 422,358

Net income

     21,977      14,949

Net income per share, basic

   $ 1.67    $ 1.08

Net income per share, diluted

   $ 1.65    $ 1.07

The pro forma results for each of fiscal years 2008 and 2007 include $3,661 of expenses related to the amortization of the backlog intangible asset and inventory fair value adjustment from the purchase accounting. The backlog and inventory valuation adjustment will be completely amortized over 6 and 3 months, respectively, from the date of acquisition.

5. Voluntary retirement and other restructuring costs:

In May 2008, the Company notified approximately 32 employees in various departments of the organization that they would be terminated by July 31, 2008. The cost associated with these terminations, which included severance and personnel related costs, was $597 and recorded as a voluntary retirement and other restructuring cost in fiscal year 2008.

On June 4, 2008, the Company announced a voluntary retirement program for all of its U.S. employees, under which the retirements are expected to be substantially completed by September 30, 2008. The total costs under this program for the 52 employees who participated in the program, including severance and personnel related costs, was approximately $3,419 and recorded as a voluntary retirement and other restructuring cost during fiscal year 2008. As part of this program, Edmund F. Becker, Jr., the former Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, voluntarily retired from employment with the Company on July 31, 2008.

Of the $4,016 voluntary retirement and other restructuring costs totaling in fiscal year 2008, $3,624, $46, $77, and $269 was recorded in Medical Imaging Products, Digital Radiography Products, B-K Medical, and Security Technology Products, respectively.

During fiscal year 2006, the Company decided to close the business operations of its wholly owned subsidiary, AnaSky, based on continued lower than expected sales. The closing of AnaSky involved the termination of approximately 40 employees, most of whom were engaged in product development, sales, and administrative activities. In accordance with SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” the Company recorded a voluntary retirement and other restructuring cost of $906 in fiscal year 2006 for severance.

Assets related to the digital radiography systems business

As a result of continuing losses in its digital radiography systems business and the related business outlook, the Company evaluated the net realizability of all of the assets related to this business at October 31, 2006. As a result, the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of $9,705 associated with the write-down of the Company’s digital radiography systems business assets to their estimated fair values as a group based upon the present value of estimated future cash flows of the business. Of the $9,705 in asset impairment charges, $8,625 was recorded to cost of sales and $1,080 was recorded to operating expenses. Amounts recorded to cost of sales included $4,144 related to inventory, $4,191 related to a software license, and $290 related to other assets.

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

Inventory of CT Medical Program

In conjunction with ongoing discussions between the Company and an OEM customer in fiscal year 2006, significant uncertainty arose with respect to the viability of a CT medical development program and the realizability of the related assets. As a result, the Company recorded asset impairment charges of $5,772 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 for the write-down of inventories.

Inventory of AnaSky

Capitalized software of CT Medical Program

The Company had capitalized $5,808 in software development costs of which $3,850 related to a medical CT workstation project and $1,958 related to a medical CT development program. The objective of the medical CT workstation program was to broaden the current market opportunity for the Company’s CT Medical scanner back end subsystem by developing a front end system which would provide a complete solution for its customers. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, management concluded that significant additional investment would be required to complete the development efforts on this front-end system and decided to no longer pursue its development efforts, and recorded an impairment charge of $3,850. With regard to the medical CT development program, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, the Company evaluated viability of this capitalized software with respect to future use and realizability and, based on this evaluation, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,958.

Customers

The Company had two customers, as set forth in the table below, who accounted for 10% or more of the net product and engineering revenue during fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006.

 

     Year Ended July 31,  
     2008     2007     2006  

Customer 1

   17 %   18 %   19 %

Customer 2

   11 %   11 %   17 %

Customer 1’s product and engineering revenues are in the Medical Imaging Products and Digital Radiography Products segment and Customer 2’s product and engineering revenues are in the Security Technology Products segment.

The Company’s ten largest customers as a group accounted for 67%, 68%, and 70% of the Company’s net product and engineering revenue for fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. There were no customers that accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net accounts receivable at July 31, 2008 and 2007.

Although the Company is seeking to broaden its customer base, the Company 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 operating results would be adversely affected if one or more major customers were to cancel, delay, or reduce significant orders in the future. Customer agreements typically permit the customer to discontinue future purchases after timely notice. In addition, the Company generates significant accounts receivable in connection with the products it sells and the services it provides to its major customers. Although its major customers are large corporations, if one or more of its customers were to become insolvent or otherwise be unable to pay for the Company’s products and services, the Company’s operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

United States or Foreign Regulatory Clearances and Approvals

The Company’s products are used by a number of its customers in the production of medical devices that are subject to a high level of regulatory oversight. A delay in obtaining or inability to obtain any necessary United States or foreign regulatory clearances or approvals for products could have a material adverse effect on its business. The process of obtaining clearances and approvals can be costly and time-consuming. There is a further risk that any approvals or clearances, once obtained, might be withdrawn or modified. Medical devices cannot be marketed in the United States without clearance from the 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. Each state may also regulate the manufacture, sale, and use of medical devices. Medical devices are also subject to approval and regulation by foreign regulatory and safety agencies.

SAHCO

On January 30, 2008, the Company entered into a shares purchase agreement (the “Shares Purchase Agreement”) with Chonqing Anke Medical Equipment Co. (“CA”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to CA 20% of its existing 45% equity interest in SAHCO for aggregate cash consideration of US $2,000. Upon conclusion of the transaction in July 2008, Analogic held a 25% equity interest in SAHCO. The Company recognized a $2,000 gain on investment in fiscal year 2008 when it was received in July 2008.

Prior to fiscal year 2008, the Company determined that $275 in receivables due from SAHCO were not probable of being collected and as a result recorded bad debt expense of $275. In December 2007, the Company collected approximately $132 of the original receivable due from SAHCO and reduced the bad debt allowance by

$132 during fiscal year 2008. On January 30, 2008, in conjunction with the Shares Purchase Agreement, the Company and CA entered into a debt repayment agreement for the remaining outstanding receivable of $143 and an additional $500 due under a license agreement that the Company had not recorded as revenue in a prior period due to the uncertainty of it being collected. The $643 was received by the Company in February 2008 and the Company recorded a reduction to the bad debt allowance of $143 and revenue of $500 fiscal year 2008.

During fiscal year 2006, the Company recorded $455 of expense as its share of equity losses, and $474 of income as its share of gains in SAHCO in fiscal year 2005. Also, during fiscal year 2006, the Company reviewed this investment for other-than-temporary impairment in accordance with APB No. 18, and determined that its investment in SAHCO was impaired based on its fair value. The Company recorded an asset impairment charge related to this investment of $275, which represented the Company’s book value. The carrying value of the Company’s investment in SAHCO was $0 at July 31, 2008 and 2007.

PDS

PDS is a privately held company that develops proprietary detection systems for high-performance Positron 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. Prior to February 2006, the Company accounted for its investment in PDS under the cost method. In February 2006, the Company elected to convert the outstanding principal represented by a convertible promissory note and to exercise a warrant received into shares of PDS Series B Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, increasing the Company’s equity interest in PDS to 44%. Following the increase in equity interest, the Company re-evaluated the accounting for its investment in PDS, including the consideration of FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51”, and EITF No. 02-14, “Whether an Investor Should Apply the Equity Method of Accounting to Investments Other Than Common Stock”, and determined that its investment should be accounted for under the equity method. The Company evaluated the change from cost to equity method under APB No. 18, and determined that no adjustment was required. The carrying value of the Company’s investment in PDS was $0 at July 31, 2008 and 2007.

During fiscal year 2008, the Company’s equity interest in PDS declined to 26% at July 31, 2008 due to a capital restructuring in fiscal year 2008. Pursuant to the capital restructuring in fiscal year 2008, the Company surrendered shares of PDS Series B Convertible Participating Preferred Stock held by the Company, converted the remainder of the PDS Series B Convertible Participating Preferred Stock held by the Company into PDS common stock, and converted $4,483 in outstanding notes into PDS common stock. Certain contractual arrangements, pursuant to which the Company would have had in certain circumstances have the right, or could have been required, to purchase the outstanding equity of PDS were terminated. PDS and the Company also entered into a Marketing Support Agreement and a general release of claims. Subject to the infusion of additional capital by a third party shareholder in PDS, the Company’s equity interest could be reduced to approximately 20%.

Bio-Imaging Research, Inc. (“BIR”)

On May 23, 2007, BIR, of which the Company had approximately a 17% ownership interest, declared a dividend, of which $1,429 was paid to the Company on May 24, 2007. This investment was being accounted for under the cost method and as of April 30, 2007 the book value was $200. On May 24, 2007, the Company sold its entire ownership interest in BIR for approximately $3,714, of which $2,807 was paid in cash upon closing and the remaining $907 will be held in escrow for a period of up to two years from the date of closing to secure any

indemnification claims. The Company recorded income before taxes on the sale and related dividend income of approximately $4,036 during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007 based on the cash received. The escrowed balance, less any amounts used to satisfy indemnification claims, will be recognized as income as the cash is received. On September 4, 2007, the Company received $84 of the $907 held in escrow, which was recorded as a gain on sale of other investments in fiscal year 2008.

13. Commitments and guarantees:

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 and also permit indemnification of other employees and agents of the Company for whom the Board 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 of Organization 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, 2008.

In November 2002, the FASB issued FIN No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34”. FIN No. 45 requires a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken by issuing the guarantee. The following is a summary of agreements that the Company determined are within the scope of FIN No. 45.

The Company’s standard OEM 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 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, 2008.

Generally, the Company warrants that its products will perform in all material respects in accordance with its standard published specifications in effect at the time of delivery of the products to the customer for a period ranging from 12 to 24 months from the date of delivery. The Company provides for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims, claim history, and engineering estimates, where applicable.

At July 31, 2008, the Company had outstanding non-cancelable purchase orders aggregating $46,991. The purchase orders are for manufacturing and non-manufacturing related goods and services.

15. 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 cost or equity method, foreign exchange gains (losses), and income (loss) on the sale of property, plant and equipment.

The Company recorded a gain on sale of other investments for fiscal year 2008 of $2,000 from the sale of 20% of its 45% equity interest in SAHCO (for a remaining interest of 25%). The Company recorded income before taxes on the sale of its investment in BIR and related dividend income of approximately $84 and $4,036 during fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively, based on the cash received. See Note 12 for further discussion of these transactions.

In fiscal years 2008 and 2007, the Company had foreign exchange gains of $440 and $63, respectively, versus a foreign exchange loss of $161 in fiscal year 2006, with respect to inter-company transactions.

16. Retirement Plans:

401(k) Plan

The Company has a qualified retirement plan called the Analogic 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) to provide retirement income for eligible employees through employee contributions and employer contributions from the Company. Employer contributions are discretionary and may be in the form of a direct profit sharing contribution or a discretionary matching contribution as determined and approved by the Board. The Company contribution each year shall in no event exceed the maximum allowable under applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. All contributions vest immediately.

The 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 their eligible compensation to the Plan, limited to a maximum annual amount as determined by the Internal Revenue Service.

Beginning in fiscal year 2003, the Company decided to contribute 5% of its net income, as defined by the Plan, to the Plan. Beginning in fiscal year 2007, the Company decided to contribute to the Plan, the greater of 5% of its net income, as defined by the Plan, or $1,200. The Company, after further review of the Plan and with Board approval, made the decision to increase the contribution for fiscal year 2007 from $1,200 to $1,471. The Company’s contributions to the Plan totaled $1,285, $1,471, and $1,303, in fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. Beginning in fiscal year 2009, the Company will begin matching employee contributions up to 4% of eligible compensation.

Defined Benefit Retirement Plan

The Company’s Canadian subsidiary, ANRAD Corporation, sponsors a defined benefit retirement plan called the Anrad Retirement Plan (the “Anrad Plan”). The Anrad Plan provides benefits to employees based on a formula recognizing length of service and final average earnings. The measurement date used for the plan is July 31. The Company recognizes the periodic pension expense in its consolidated statement of operations and the associated assets or liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet.

Effective July 31, 2007, the Company adopted SFAS No. 158, “Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. The incremental effects of the initial adoption of SFAS No. 158 on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at July 31, 2007 were as follows:

     July 31,  
     2008     2007     2006  

Discount rate

   6.50 %   5.75 %   5.50 %

Expected return on assets

   6.50 %   6.50 %   6.50 %

Salary increase

   4.00 %   3.75 %   4.00 %

To determine the expected long-term rate of return on the Anrad Plan assets, the Company considers the current and expected asset allocations, as well as historical and expected returns on various categories of plan assets.

The Company amortizes experienced gains and losses, as well as the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions and plan provisions over a period no longer than the average future service of employees.

Benefit Obligations

Benefit obligations are described in the following tables. Accumulated and projected benefit obligations (“ABO” and “PBO”) represent the obligations of a pension plan for past service as of the measurement date.

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 that exist if and when remittance occurs.

As of July 31, 2008, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards in Belgium and Germany of approximately $5,201 and $360, respectively, which have no expiration date. As of July 31, 2008, the Company also had state tax credit carryforwards of $4,348 which will expire in 2023.

Management has determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will not recognize the benefit of certain foreign losses, state losses, and tax credits and as a result, valuation allowances have been established at July 31, 2008 and July 31, 2007. The change in the valuation allowance in fiscal year 2008 is primarily the result of income in Belgium, the currency effects of a weaker U.S. dollar, and the addition of state tax credits where use cannot be assured. It is reasonably possible that the valuation allowance for Belgium could reverse within the next twelve months.

The Company adopted FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, which is an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, at the beginning of fiscal year 2008. FIN No. 48 requires management to perform a two-step evaluation of all tax positions, ensuring that these tax return positions meet the “more likely than not” recognition threshold and can be measured with sufficient precision to determine the benefit recognized in the financial statements. These evaluations provide management with a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements certain tax positions that the Company has taken or expects to take on its income tax returns. As a result of the implementation of FIN No. 48, the Company recognized a net increase of $2,239 to the August 1, 2007 retained earnings balance, which consisted of a non-current other asset and accrued income taxes of $3,806 and $1,567, respectively. At the adoption date of August 1, 2007, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits, which excludes interest and penalties discussed below, was approximately $17,359. The unrecognized tax benefits have increased to $18,296 at July 31, 2008 and if recognized in a future period, the timing of which is not estimable, the net unrecognized tax benefit of approximately $18,296 would reduce the Company’s effective tax rate.

The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s unrecognized income tax benefits for fiscal year 2008:

 

Balance as of August 1, 2007

Increases based on tax positions related to current year

     798  

Increases for tax positions of prior years

     167  

Decreases for tax positions of prior years

Decreases due to lapse of the applicable statute of limitations

     (68 )

Adjustment due to foreign exchange rate

Balance as of July 31, 2008

   $ 18,296  
        

Net interest as of July 31, 2008

   $ 1,460  
        

Refundable and deferred income taxes at July 31, 2008 consisted of deferred tax assets of $6,742 and refundable income tax assets of $10,687. The refundable income tax assets include federal and state refunds that are expected to be received within the next twelve months. Non-current other assets include a receivable of $1,105 for state tax refunds, which result from R&D credit claims not expected to be received within the next twelve months.

Analogic and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. Federal income tax as well as the income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company has concluded all U.S. Federal income tax matters through fiscal year 2002. As of July 31, 2008, Analogic is under audit by the Internal Revenue Service for fiscal years 2003, 2004, and 2007. It is not yet known when the audits will be completed, although the audits for fiscal years 2003 and 2004 can reasonably be expected to be completed within the next twelve months. The Company also has an unresolved state tax audit currently under appeal. It is reasonably possible that a reduction in the unrecognized tax benefits may occur as a result of one or both of the matters concluding, but quantification of an estimated range cannot be made at this time. In the next four fiscal quarters, the statute of limitations may close on the 2005 federal and state income tax returns and it is reasonably expected that net unrecognized benefits of $420 from these jurisdictions may be recognized within the next four quarters.

Within the next four fiscal quarters, the statute of limitations will close on the 2003 and 2004 tax returns filed in various foreign jurisdictions. As a result, it is reasonably expected that net unrecognized tax benefits from these foreign jurisdictions may be recognized within the next four fiscal quarters. The recognition of these tax benefits is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company accrues interest and, if applicable, penalties for any uncertain tax positions. This interest and penalty expense is treated as a component of income tax expense. At the date of adoption of FIN No. 48 on August 1, 2007 and at July 31, 2008, the Company had approximately $1,025 and $1,460, respectively, accrued for interest on unrecognized tax benefits.
