Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On January 14, 2005, Analogic Corporation (the "Company") issued a press release containing certain information about revenues for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004. The full text of the press release issued in connection with the announcement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The information in Item 2.02 of this Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.





Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

On January 14, 2005, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Audit Committee") and the management of the Company concluded that previously issued financial statements of the Company included in its Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2002 and July 31, 2003 and in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the interim fiscal periods ended October 31, January 31 and April 30 within those fiscal years, and all earnings releases and similar communications of the Company relating to all such fiscal periods, should no longer be relied upon. The Audit Committee and the management of the Company determined that the Company must restate the financial statements for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2002 and July 31, 2003 and the interim fiscal periods ended October 31, January 31 and April 30 within those fiscal years to reflect the appropriate accounting treatment for certain transactions by its subsidiary, Camtronics Medical Systems ("Camtronics"). These restatements will primarily involve a deferral of Camtronics’ revenues and associated costs from the fiscal period in which they were originally recorded to subsequent fiscal periods.

The restatements are required due to the incorrect application of software revenue recognition procedures with respect to certain Camtronics transactions. Under software revenue recognition rules, Camtronics is not permitted to recognize revenue on a multiple-element software arrangement until such time as Camtronics has delivered or performed all elements of the arrangement or has sufficient evidence of fair value for each undelivered or non-performed element of the arrangement. In the majority of the transactions underlying the restatements, Camtronics has delivered and the customer has paid for the software. However, Camtronics is prohibited from recognizing any revenue from the transaction because some element of the transaction—such as the delivery of a software upgrade or the performance of customization services—has not been delivered or performed or sufficient evidence of fair value for those elements cannot be determined. The Company believes that all of the Camtronics transactions in question represent bona fide customer sales and that the revenue that has been reversed as part of these restatements will be recognized in future fiscal periods.

The Audit Committee and the management of the Company discussed the matters disclosed in this filing with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Company’s independent accountants.
