Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. The Company
Tektronix, Inc. (“Tektronix”) develops, manufactures, markets and services test, measurement and monitoring solutions to a wide variety of customers in many industries, including computing, communications, semiconductors, education, government, military/aerospace, research, automotive and consumer electronics. Tektronix enables its customers to design, manufacture, deploy, monitor and service next-generation global communications networks, computing, pervasive and advanced technologies. Revenue is derived principally through the development, manufacturing, marketing and selling of a broad range of products and related components, support services and accessories. These products include oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, signal sources, spectrum analyzers, communications network management and diagnostics solutions and video test equipment. Tektronix maintains operations in four major geographies: the Americas, including the United States and Other Americas, which includes Mexico, Canada and South America; Europe, which includes Europe, Russia, the Middle East and Africa; the Pacific, which includes China, India, Korea and Singapore; and Japan.
2. Financial Statement Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared by Tektronix without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been condensed or omitted as permitted by Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tektronix and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Tektronix’ fiscal year is the 52 or 53 week period ending on the last Saturday in May. Fiscal years 2006 and 2005 are both 52 weeks long.
The presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions, including those used to record the results of discontinued operations, affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the revenues and expenses reported during the period. Examples include revenue recognition; the allowance for doubtful accounts; product warranty accrual; estimates of contingencies; intangible asset valuation; inventory valuation; pension plan assumptions; the determination of other-than-temporary investment impairments; and the assessment of the valuation of deferred income taxes and income tax contingencies. Actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
Management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements include all necessary adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature and are adequate to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in Tektronix’ annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 28, 2005.
Revenue recognition
Tektronix recognizes product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. These criteria are met for the majority of Tektronix’ product sales at the time the product is shipped under FOB shipping point shipping terms. Upon shipment, Tektronix also provides for estimated costs that may be incurred for product warranties and sales returns. When other significant obligations or acceptance terms remain after products are delivered, revenue is recognized only after such obligations are fulfilled or acceptance by the customer has occurred.
Contracts for network monitoring solution products, which were acquired in the Inet acquisition, often involve multiple deliverables. Tektronix determines the fair value of each of the contract deliverables using vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”). VSOE for each element of the contract is based on the price for which Tektronix sells the element on a stand-alone basis. In addition to hardware and software products, elements of the contracts include product support services such as the correction of software problems, hardware replacement, telephone access to Tektronix’ technical personnel and the right to receive unspecified product updates, upgrades and enhancements, when
5
Table of Contents
and if they become available. Revenues from these services, including post-contract support included in initial licensing fees, are recognized ratably over the service periods. Post-contract support included in the initial licensing fee is allocated from the total contract amount based on the fair value of these services determined using VSOE. If Tektronix determines that it does not have VSOE on an undelivered element of an arrangement, Tektronix will not recognize revenue until all elements of the arrangement are delivered. This occurrence could materially impact Tektronix’ financial results because of the significant dollar amount of many of its contracts and the significant portion of total revenues that a single contract may represent in any particular period.
Revenue earned from service is recognized ratably over the contractual service periods or as the services are performed. Shipping and handling costs are recorded as Cost of sales on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amounts billed or collected in advance of the period in which the related product or service qualifies for revenue recognition are recorded as Deferred revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 142 requires purchased intangible assets, other than goodwill, to be amortized over their estimated useful lives, unless an asset has an indefinite life. Purchased intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization expense is recognized over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets, mostly over three to five years. For software-related intangible assets with finite useful lives, Tektronix amortizes the cost over the estimated economic life of the software product and assesses impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” At each balance sheet date, the unamortized cost of the software-related intangible asset is compared to its net realizable value. The net realizable value is the estimated future gross revenues from the software product reduced by the estimated future costs of completing and disposing of that product, including the costs of performing maintenance and customer support. The excess of the unamortized cost over the net realizable value would then be recognized as an impairment loss. Amortization expense for intangible assets that are software-related developed technology is recorded as Cost of sales on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Tektronix will perform its annual goodwill impairment analysis during the second quarter of each fiscal year.
Tektronix does not amortize intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. However, Tektronix reevaluates this decision each reporting period. If Tektronix subsequently determines that a nonamortizable intangible asset has a finite useful life, the intangible asset will be written down to the lower of its fair value or carrying amount and then amortized over its remaining useful life on a prospective basis. Tektronix reviews nonamortizable intangible assets annually for impairment and more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the intangible asset may be impaired. An impairment loss would be recognized as a charge to continuing operations if the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the nonamortizable intangible asset. The balance of nonamortizable intangible assets of $11.2 million as of August 27, 2005 resulted primarily from the Inet acquisition during the second quarter of fiscal year 2005. Accordingly, the nonamortizable intangible assets were recorded at their fair values and no events or circumstances have arisen that would indicate that the intangible assets may be impaired. Tektronix will perform its annual nonamortizable intangible asset impairment test in conjunction with its annual goodwill impairment test in the second quarter of each fiscal year.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.” SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in Accounting Research Bulletins (“ARB”) No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that “. . . under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. . . .” SFAS No. 151 requires that those items be recognized as current period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal.” In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of SFAS No. 151 will apply to inventory costs beginning in fiscal year 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of Tektronix.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”). This new pronouncement, as interpreted, requires compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS No. 123R covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee stock purchase plans. SFAS No. 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS No. 123, as originally issued in 1995, established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. However, SFAS No. 123 permitted entities the option of continuing to apply the guidance in APB No. 25, as long as the footnotes to financial statements disclosed what net income would have been had the preferable fair-value-based method been used. Tektronix will be required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 123R in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. Management is currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS No. 123R. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R is expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of Tektronix. See Note 4 for the pro forma impact on net earnings and earnings per share from calculating stock-related compensation cost under the fair value alternative of SFAS No. 123. However, the calculation of compensation cost for share-based payment transactions after the effective date of SFAS No. 123R may be different from the calculation of compensation cost under SFAS No. 123, but such differences have not yet been quantified.
In April 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations.” This interpretation clarifies that the entity is required to record a liability in financial statements for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The “conditional asset retirement obligation” terminology used in SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. This interpretation is required to be adopted no later than the end of fiscal year 2006. Tektronix adopted this FIN 47 beginning with the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 without a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of Tektronix.
In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of APB No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.” This SFAS No. 154 supersedes APB No. 20, “Accounting Changes,” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless this would be impracticable. When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an accounting change on one or more individual prior periods presented, this statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable. This statement also requires that if an entity changes its method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, nonfinancial assets, the change must be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate. This statement will be effective in fiscal year 2007.

Table of Contents
Management does not expect this statement to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of Tektronix.
In June 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 143-1, “Accounting for Electronic Equipment Waste Obligations.” This FSP FAS 143-1 addresses the accounting related to obligations associated with Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment adopted by the European Union (EU). This FSP FAS 143-1 is effective the later of the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 or the date of adoption of the law by the applicable EU-member country. Tektronix adopted this FSP FAS 143-1 beginning with the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 without a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of Tektronix.
4. Earnings Per Share, Including Pro Forma Effects of Stock-Based Compensation
Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on these same weighted average shares outstanding plus the effect of potential shares issuable upon assumed exercise of stock options based on the treasury stock method. Potential shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share to the extent their effect would be antidilutive.
Earnings per share for the fiscal quarters ended August 27, 2005 and August 28, 2004 were as follows:
Fiscal quarter ended | ||||||||
(In thousands, except per share amounts) | Aug. 27, 2005 | Aug. 28, 2004 | ||||||
Net earnings | $ | 14,086 | $ | 36,408 | ||||
Weighted average shares used for basic earnings per share | 84,603 | 83,782 | ||||||
Incremental dilutive stock options | 694 | 1,429 | ||||||
Weighted average shares used for dilutive earnings per share | 85,297 | 85,211 | ||||||
Earnings per share: | ||||||||
Net earnings — basic and diluted | $ | 0.17 | $ | 0.43 |
Options to purchase an additional 9,205,226 and 3,888,027 shares of common stock were outstanding at August 27, 2005 and August 28, 2004, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted net earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.
Tektronix accounts for stock options according to APB No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Under APB No. 25, no compensation expense is recognized on Tektronix’ consolidated financial statements upon issuance of employee stock options because the exercise price of the options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Alternatively, under the fair value method of accounting provided for by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” the measurement of compensation cost is based on the fair value of employee stock options at the grant date and requires the use of option pricing models to value the options. The weighted average estimated fair values of options granted during the fiscal quarters ended August 27, 2005 and August 28, 2004 were $7.88 and $10.06 per share, respectively.

5. Acquisition of Inet Technologies, Inc.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2005, Tektronix acquired Inet Technologies, Inc. (“Inet”), a leading global provider of communications software solutions that enable network operators to more strategically and profitably operate their businesses. Inet’s products address next generation mobile and fixed networks, including mobile data and voice over packet (also referred to as voice over Internet protocol or VoIP) technologies, and traditional networks. Inet’s Unified Assurance Solutions enable network operators to simultaneously manage their voice and data services at the network, service, and customer layers by capturing, correlating, and analyzing network wide traffic in real time. Inet’s diagnostic products assist equipment manufacturers and network operators to quickly and cost effectively design, deploy, and maintain current and next generation networks and network elements. Through this acquisition Tektronix significantly enhances its position in the overall network management and diagnostic market and expects to accelerate the delivery of products and solutions for network operators and equipment manufacturers seeking to implement next generation technologies such as General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems (UMTS) and VoIP.
Tektronix acquired all of Inet’s outstanding common stock for $12.50 per share consisting of $6.25 per share in cash and $6.25 per share in Tektronix common stock. Prior to the close of the transaction on September 30, 2004, Inet had 39.6 million shares of common stock outstanding. The final exchange ratio used to determine the number of shares of Tektronix common stock issued was 0.192, which resulted in the issuance of 7.6 million shares of Tektronix common stock in the transaction. The 7.6 million shares were valued at $32.55 per share, based on the 5-day period ended September 29, 2004, because that was the earliest date that the final exchange ratio could be determined. The fair values of the stock options and restricted share rights assumed were determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The cash consideration of $247.6 million, the value of Tektronix common stock of $247.5 million, and the fair values of stock options and restricted share rights assumed are included in the purchase price that was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based

on their estimated fair values. Analysis supporting the purchase price allocation includes a valuation of assets and liabilities as of the closing date, including a third party valuation of intangible items and a detailed review of the opening balance sheet to determine other significant adjustments required to recognize assets and liabilities at fair value. The purchase price allocation is subject to further changes, including resolution of tax contingencies associated with ongoing tax audits for pre-acquisition periods. The purchase price and resulting allocation to the underlying assets acquired, net of deferred income taxes, are presented below as of August 27, 2005.

The $32.2 million allocated to the in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) asset was written off at the date of the acquisition in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 4, “Applicability of FASB Statement No. 2 to Business Combinations Accounted for by the Purchase Method.” This write-off was included in acquisition related costs and amortization on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of IPR&D was based on the net present value of estimated future cash flows. Significant assumptions used in the valuation of IPR&D included a risk adjusted discount rate of 10.2%, revenue and expense projections, development life cycle and future entry of products to the market. As of the acquisition date, there were eight research and development projects in process that were approximately 87% complete. The total estimated cost to complete these projects was approximately $0.8 million at the acquisition date. As of August 27, 2005, Tektronix had completed these eight research and development projects.
The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations include the results of operations of Inet since September 30, 2004.

7. Business Realignment Costs
Business realignment costs represent actions to realign Tektronix’ cost structure in response to significant events and primarily include restructuring actions and impairment of assets resulting from reduced business levels. Business realignment actions taken in recent fiscal years were intended to reduce Tektronix’ worldwide cost structure across all major functions in response to the dramatic economic decline, which severely impacted markets into which Tektronix sells its products. Major operations impacted include manufacturing, engineering, sales, marketing and administrative functions. In addition to severance, Tektronix incurred other costs associated with restructuring its organization, which primarily represented facilities contracts and other exit costs associated with aligning the cost structure to appropriate levels.
Costs incurred during the current quarter primarily related to restructuring actions Tektronix initiated in response to softer market conditions in some of our product areas that began in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005 and continued into the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal year 2006.
Business realignment costs of $2.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 primarily included severance and related costs for 47 employees. Tektronix expects to realize future annual salary cost savings from actions taken in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. At August 27, 2005, liabilities remained for employee severance and related benefits for 50 employees.

Tektronix reviews investments in debt and equity securities for other than temporary impairment whenever the fair value of an investment is less than amortized cost and evidence indicates that an investment’s carrying amount is not recoverable within a reasonable period of time. In the evaluation of whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, Tektronix considers the reasons for the impairment, its ability and intent to hold the investment until the market price recovers, compliance with its investment policy, the severity and duration of the impairment and expected future performance. As Tektronix primarily invests in high quality debt securities, unrealized losses are largely driven by market interest rates. These unrealized losses were not significant on an individual investment security basis. Based on this evaluation, no impairment was considered to be other-than-temporary. The following table presents the fair value of marketable investments with unrealized losses at August 27, 2005:

17. Contingencies
As of August 27, 2005, Tektronix had $10.0 million of contingencies recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, which included $5.0 million of contingencies relating to the sale of the Color Printer and Imaging division (“CPID”) in fiscal year 2000, $2.0 million for environmental exposures and $3.0 million for other contingent liabilities. It is reasonably possible that management’s estimates of these contingencies could change in the near term and that such changes could be material to Tektronix’ consolidated financial statements.
Sale of Color Printing and Imaging
On January 1, 2000, Tektronix sold substantially all of the assets of CPID. Tektronix accounted for CPID as a discontinued operation in accordance with APB No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations — Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions.” The sales price was $925.0 million in cash, with certain liabilities of the division assumed by the purchaser. During fiscal year 2000, Tektronix recorded a net gain of $340.3 million on this sale. The net gain was calculated as the excess of the proceeds received over the net book value of the assets transferred, $198.5 million in income tax expense, $60.0 million of contingencies related to the sale and $14.4 million in transaction and related costs.
In accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” it is Tektronix’ policy to defer recognition of a gain where it is believed that contingencies exist that may result in that gain being recognized prior to realization. Tektronix analyzes the amount of deferred gain in relation to outstanding contingencies, and recognizes additional gain when persuasive objective evidence indicates that such contingencies are believed to be resolved. With regard to the contingencies associated with the sale of CPID, persuasive objective evidence includes: a) legal determinations resulting in the resolution of contingencies, including lapse of claim periods defined in the final sale agreement, b) the resolution of claims made by the purchaser, c) evidence that liabilities underlying current or probable future claims have been resolved and d) interactions with the purchaser on outstanding claims. The $60.0 million of contingencies represented the deferral of a portion of the gain on sale that Tektronix’ management believed was not realizable due to certain contingencies contained in the final sale agreement and approximated the amount that management believed was the maximum exposure under the contingencies. The specific nature of these contingencies was specified in the final sale agreement.
The contingencies contained in the final sale agreement represented provisions designed to protect the purchaser in disputes over the net assets included in the closing balance sheet and breach of
18
Table of Contents
certain representations and warranties by Tektronix. Tektronix viewed these exposures in terms of the following categories: balance sheet arbitration, liabilities subject to indemnity, 18 month indemnity for breach of certain representations and warranties and a 36 month indemnity for breach of certain representations and warranties. Tektronix’ estimate of the maximum contingency, including anticipated costs and expenses to resolve these matters, was $60.0 million. This estimate was based on certain limitations on purchase contingencies as defined in the final sale agreement as well as Tektronix’ estimates of other exposures not subject to these limitations. As the maximum exposure under these categories is measured in the aggregate by Tektronix and as there are many overlapping provisions between these categories, Tektronix’ review of these contingencies considered both the individual categories as well as the aggregate remaining exposures.
Subsequent to the close of the transaction, Tektronix and the purchaser entered into an arbitration process to determine settlement of certain disputes regarding the value of the net assets transferred at the closing date. This arbitration process was provided to the purchaser under the terms of the final sale agreement. This arbitration was resolved in the first quarter of fiscal year 2002, resulting in an $18.0 million payment by Tektronix to the purchaser. This settlement directly reduced the $60.0 million deferred gain.
During fiscal year 2003, Tektronix recognized $25.0 million of the deferred gain as a result of the resolution of certain of the purchase contingencies related to the sale, in accordance with the accounting policy described above. The $25.0 million of pre-tax gain was recognized in Discontinued operations. Of the total $25.0 million recognized in fiscal year 2003, $20.0 million was recorded during the third quarter of fiscal year 2003. Persuasive objective evidence supporting the recognition of $20.0 million included: a) the expiration of the 36 month deadline for certain claims included in the final sale agreement, which passed without the receipt of claims from the purchaser, b) analysis of exposures underlying pending claims previously made by the purchaser, and c) the interactions with the purchaser regarding these pending claims, which included the fact that significant time had lapsed since the purchaser had pursued these claims. Tektronix recognized an additional $5.0 million of pre-tax gain in Discontinued operations during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003 based on persuasive objective evidence that certain previously identified exposures had been resolved without consequence to Tektronix.
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2005, Tektronix recognized an additional $5.4 million of pre-tax gain in Discontinued operations. Persuasive objective evidence supporting the recognition of $5.4 million included: a) a sustained reduction in expense activity associated with certain exposures underlying the contingencies, b) analysis of exposures underlying pending claims previously made by the purchaser and c) the interactions with the purchaser regarding these pending claims, which included the fact that significant time had lapsed since the purchaser had pursued these claims.
Other payments and adjustments during the period from fiscal years 2001 through 2005 reduced the balance of the contingencies by $4.6 million. As of August 27, 2005 and May 28, 2005, the balance of the contingencies related to the CPID disposition was $5.0 million. The remaining portion may take several years to resolve. The continued deferral of this amount is associated with existing exposures for which Tektronix believes adequate evidence of resolution has not been obtained. Tektronix continues to monitor the status of the CPID related contingencies based on information received. If unforeseen events or circumstances arise subsequent to the balance sheet date, changes in the estimate of these contingencies would occur. Tektronix, however, does not expect such changes to be material to the financial statements.
Environmental and Other
The $2.0 million for environmental exposures is specifically associated with the closure and cleanup of a licensed hazardous waste management facility at Tektronix’ Beaverton, Oregon campus. Tektronix established the initial liability in 1998 and bases ongoing estimates on currently available facts and presently enacted laws and regulations. Costs for tank removal and cleanup were incurred in fiscal year 2001. Costs currently being incurred primarily relate to ongoing monitoring and testing of the site. Management currently estimates that the range of remaining reasonably possible cost associated with this environmental cleanup, testing and monitoring could be as high as $10.0 million. Management believes that the recorded liability represents the low end of the range. These costs are estimated to be incurred over the next several years. If events or circumstances arise that are unforeseen to Tektronix as of the balance sheet date, actual costs could differ materially from the recorded liability. In addition,
19
Table of Contents
a preliminary risk investigation and feasibility study are expected to be completed in the second half of fiscal year 2006 which may have a significant impact on management’s estimate.
The remaining $3.0 million includes amounts related to intellectual property and employment issues, as well as amounts related to dispositions of assets other than CPID. If events or circumstances arise that are unforeseen to Tektronix as of the balance sheet date, actual costs could differ materially from this estimate.
In the normal course of business, Tektronix and its subsidiaries are parties to various legal claims, actions and complaints, including matters involving patent infringement and other intellectual property claims and various other risks. It is not possible to predict with certainty whether or not Tektronix will ultimately be successful in any of these legal matters or, if not, what the impact might be. However, Tektronix’ management does not expect that the results of these legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Repurchases of Tektronix common stock are made under authorizations totaling $950.0 million approved by the Board of Directors in fiscal years 2000 and 2005. This repurchase authority allows Tektronix, at management’s discretion, to selectively repurchase its common stock from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions depending on market price and other factors. The share repurchase authorization has no stated expiration date.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, 2.2 million shares were repurchased for $52.7 million. As of August 27, 2005, a total of 27.1 million shares have been repurchased at an average price of $23.95 per share totaling $649.9 million under this authorization. The reacquired shares were immediately retired as required under Oregon corporate law.
Subsequent to the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, on September 15, 2005, Tektronix declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share for the second quarter of fiscal year 2006. The dividend will be paid on October 24, 2005 to shareholders of record as of the close of market on October 7, 2005.

19. Business Segments
Tektronix’ revenue is derived principally through the development, manufacturing, marketing and selling of a range of test and measurement products in several operating segments that have similar economic characteristics as well as similar customers, production processes and distribution methods. It is impractical to report net sales by product group. Accordingly, Tektronix reports as a single segment. Inter-segment sales were not material and were included in net sales to external customers below.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Introduction and Overview
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to provide investors with an understanding of Tektronix’ operating performance and its financial condition. A discussion of our business, including our strategy, products and competition is included in Part I of Tektronix’ Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 28, 2005.
Tektronix develops, manufactures, markets and services test, measurement and monitoring solutions to a wide variety of customers in many industries, including computing, communications, semiconductors, education, government, military/aerospace, research, automotive and consumer electronics. Unless otherwise indicated by the context, the terms “Tektronix”, “we”, “us” or “our” refer to Tektronix as the parent company and its majority-owned subsidiaries.
We enable our customers to design, manufacture, deploy, monitor and service next-generation global communications networks, computing, pervasive and advanced technologies. Revenue is derived principally through the development, manufacturing, marketing and selling of a broad range of products and related components, support services and accessories. These products include oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, signal sources, spectrum analyzers, communications network management and diagnostics solutions and video test equipment. We maintain operations in four major geographies: the Americas, including the United States and Other Americas, which includes Mexico, Canada and South America; Europe, which includes Europe, Russia, the Middle East and Africa; the Pacific, which includes China, India, Korea, and Singapore; and Japan.
Tektronix’ results of operations and financial condition may be affected by a variety of factors. In our opinion, the most significant of these factors include the economic strength of the technology markets into which we sell our products, our ability to develop compelling technology solutions and deliver these to the marketplace in a timely manner, and the actions of competitors.
The markets that we serve are very diverse and include a cross-section of the technology industries. Accordingly, our business is cyclical and tends to correlate to the overall performance of the technology sector. During the latter part of fiscal year 2003, we began to experience the stabilization of certain markets that had been depressed in the previous year. Fiscal year 2004 saw a more broad-based recovery in the technology sector from the downturn of preceding years. During fiscal year 2005, growth rates moderated as compared with the prior fiscal year. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005 and into the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 orders softened in a number of our product areas and in most regions.
During fiscal years 2002 and 2003, we engaged in a variety of efforts to reduce our cost structure to better align with the lower sales levels. The related business realignment costs continued to be
22
Table of Contents
incurred into fiscal year 2004, and to a lesser extent into fiscal year 2005 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 as many of the actions identified took considerable time to execute. In addition to incurring costs to realign our cost structure during fiscal years 2003, 2004 and 2005, we incurred costs to restructure the operations of the Japan subsidiary acquired through redemption of Sony/Tektronix Corporation in the second quarter of fiscal year 2004 and also recognized certain costs and credits directly associated with the integration of this subsidiary. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, we took actions in response to the recent softening in orders in some of our product areas. Business realignment costs incurred during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 primarily reflected the cost of those recent actions.
We face significant competition in many of the markets in which we sell our products. Tektronix competes on many factors including product performance, technology, product availability and price. To compete effectively, we must deliver compelling products to the market in a timely manner. Accordingly, we make significant investments into the research and development of new products and the sales channels necessary to deliver products to the market. Even during periods where economic conditions have reduced our revenues, such as those experienced in fiscal years 2002 and 2003, we continued to invest significantly in the development of new products and sales channels. A discussion of our products and competitors is included in Item 1 Business of Tektronix’ Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 28, 2005.
A component of our strategy includes focusing investments in certain product categories to expand our existing market positions. Expansion in these certain product categories may come through internal growth or from acquisitions. On September 30, 2004, Tektronix acquired Inet Technologies, Inc. (“Inet”), a company that engaged primarily in network monitoring. The acquisition of Inet has further expanded our communications network management and diagnostic product offerings. The acquisition of Inet is described below in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
For a discussion of risk factors affecting Tektronix, see the Risks and Uncertainties section below.
Acquisition of Inet Technologies, Inc.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2005, Tektronix acquired Inet Technologies, Inc. (“Inet”), a leading global provider of communications software solutions that enable network operators to more strategically and profitably operate their businesses. Inet’s products address next generation mobile and fixed networks, including mobile data and voice over packet (also referred to as voice over Internet protocol or VoIP) technologies, and traditional networks. Inet’s Unified Assurance Solutions enable network operators to simultaneously manage their voice and data services at the network, service, and customer layers by capturing, correlating, and analyzing network wide traffic in real time. Inet’s diagnostic products assist equipment manufacturers and network operators to quickly and cost effectively design, deploy, and maintain current and next generation networks and network elements. Through this acquisition Tektronix significantly enhances its position in the overall network management and diagnostic market and expects to accelerate the delivery of products and solutions for network operators and equipment manufacturers seeking to implement next generation technologies such as General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems (UMTS) and VoIP.
Tektronix acquired all of Inet’s outstanding common stock for $12.50 per share consisting of $6.25 per share in cash and $6.25 per share in Tektronix common stock. Prior to the close of the transaction on September 30, 2004, Inet had 39.6 million shares of common stock outstanding. The final exchange ratio used to determine the number of shares of Tektronix common stock issued was 0.192, which resulted in the issuance of 7.6 million shares of Tektronix common stock in the transaction. The 7.6 million shares were valued at $32.55 per share, based on the 5-day period ended September 29, 2004, because that was the earliest date that the final exchange ratio could be determined. The fair values of the stock options and restricted share rights assumed were determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The cash consideration of $247.6 million, the value of Tektronix common stock of $247.5 million, and the fair values of stock options and restricted share rights assumed are included in the purchase price that was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Analysis supporting the purchase price allocation includes a valuation of assets and liabilities as of the closing date, including a third party valuation of intangible items and a detailed review of the opening balance sheet to determine other significant adjustments required to
23

recognize assets and liabilities at fair value. The purchase price allocation is subject to further changes, including resolution of tax contingencies associated with ongoing tax audits for pre-acquisition periods. The purchase price and resulting allocation to the underlying assets acquired, net of deferred income taxes, are presented below as of August 27, 2005.

The $32.2 million allocated to the in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) asset was written off at the date of the acquisition in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 4, “Applicability of FASB Statement No. 2 to Business Combinations Accounted for by the Purchase Method.” This write-off was included in acquisition related costs and amortization on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of IPR&D was based on the net present value of estimated future cash flows. Significant assumptions used in the valuation of IPR&D included a risk adjusted discount rate of 10.2%, revenue and expense projections, development life cycle and future entry of products to the market. As of the acquisition date, there were eight research and development projects in process that were approximately 87% complete. The total estimated cost to complete these projects was approximately $0.8 million at the acquisition date. As of August 27, 2005, we had completed these eight research and development projects.
The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations include the results of operations of Inet since September 30, 2004. The following (unaudited) pro forma consolidated results of operations have been prepared as if the acquisition of Inet had occurred at May 30, 2004, the beginning of Tektronix’ fiscal year 2005.

The pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been achieved had the acquisition been consummated as of that time, nor is it intended to be a projection of future results.
Business Realignment Costs
Business realignment costs represent actions to realign our cost structure in response to significant events and primarily include restructuring actions and impairment of assets resulting from reduced business levels. Business realignment actions taken in recent fiscal years were intended to reduce our worldwide cost structure across all major functions in response to the dramatic economic decline in 2001 through 2003, which severely impacted markets into which we sell our products. Major operations impacted include manufacturing, engineering, sales, marketing and administrative functions. In addition to severance, we incurred other costs associated with restructuring our organization, which primarily represented facilities contracts and other exit costs associated with aligning the cost structure to appropriate levels. Restructuring actions can take significant time to execute, particularly if they are
25
Table of Contents
being conducted in countries outside the United States. We believe the restructuring actions implemented in recent fiscal years have resulted in the cost savings anticipated for those actions.
Business realignment costs incurred during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 primarily reflected actions taken in response to recent softening in orders in some of our product areas. Business realignment costs of $2.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 primarily included severance and related costs for 47 employees. We expect to realize future annual salary cost savings from actions taken in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. At August 27, 2005, liabilities remained for employee severance and related benefits for 50 employees.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We have identified the “critical accounting estimates,” which are those that are most important to our portrayal of the financial condition and operating results and require difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Significant estimates underlying the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of net sales and expenses include revenue recognition, contingencies, intangible asset valuation, pension plan assumptions and the assessment of the valuation of deferred income taxes and income tax contingencies.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. These criteria are met for the majority of our product sales at the time the product is shipped under FOB shipping point shipping terms. Upon shipment, we also provide for estimated costs that may be incurred for product warranties and sales returns. When other significant obligations or acceptance terms remain after products are delivered, revenue is recognized only after such obligations are fulfilled or acceptance by the customer has occurred.
Contracts for our network monitoring solution products, which were acquired in the Inet acquisition, often involve multiple deliverables. We determine the fair value of each of the contract deliverables using vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”). VSOE for each element of the contract is based on the price for which we sell the element on a stand-alone basis. In addition to hardware and software products, elements of the contracts include product support services such as the correction of software problems, hardware replacement, telephone access to our technical personnel and the right to receive unspecified product updates, upgrades and enhancements, when and if they become available. Revenues from these services, including post-contract support included in initial licensing fees, are recognized ratably over the service periods. Post-contract support included in the initial licensing fee is allocated from the total contract amount based on the fair value of these services determined using VSOE. If we determine that we do not have VSOE on an undelivered element of an arrangement, we will not recognize revenue until all elements of the arrangement are delivered. This occurrence could materially impact our financial results because of the significant dollar amount of many of our contracts and the significant portion of total revenues that a single contract may represent in any particular period.
Revenue earned from service is recognized ratably over the contractual service periods or as the services are performed. Shipping and handling costs are recorded as Cost of sales on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amounts billed or collected in advance of the period in which the related product or service qualifies for revenue recognition are recorded as Deferred revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contingencies
We are subject to claims and litigation concerning intellectual property, environmental and employment issues, and settlement of contingencies related to prior dispositions of assets. Accruals have been established based upon our best estimate of the ultimate outcome of these matters. We review the status of any claims, litigation and other contingencies on a regular basis, and adjustments are made as additional information becomes available. As of August 27, 2005, $10.0 million of contingencies were recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, which included $5.0 million of contingencies relating to the sale of the Color Printing and Imaging Division (“CPID”) described below, $2.0 million for environmental exposures and $3.0 million for other contingent liabilities. It is reasonably possible that our estimates of contingencies could change in the near term and that such changes could be material to the consolidated financial statements.
At the time of the sale of CPID on January 1, 2000, we deferred the recognition of $60.0 million of gain on the sale and recorded contingencies of $60.0 million. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” our policy is to defer recognition of a gain where we believe contingencies exist which may result in that gain being recognized prior to realization. We analyze the amount of deferred gain in relation to outstanding contingencies and recognize additional gain when objective evidence indicates that such contingencies are believed to be resolved. The $60.0 million of contingencies represented the deferral of a portion of the gain on sale that we believed was not realizable due to certain contingencies contained in the final sale agreement. Of the original $60.0 million of contingencies, $22.6 million has been utilized to settle claims and $32.4 million was recognized in subsequent periods.
As of August 27, 2005 and May 28, 2005, the balance of the contingencies related to the CPID disposition was $5.0 million. The remaining portion may take several years to resolve. We continue to monitor the status of the CPID related contingencies based on information received.
Included in contingent liabilities was $2.0 million specifically associated with the closure and cleanup of a licensed hazardous waste management facility at our Beaverton, Oregon, campus. The initial liability was established in 1998, and we base ongoing estimates on currently available facts and presently enacted laws and regulations. Costs for tank removal and cleanup were incurred in fiscal year 2001. Costs currently being incurred primarily relate to ongoing monitoring and testing of the site. We currently estimate that the range of remaining reasonably possible cost associated with this environmental cleanup, testing and monitoring could be as high as $10.0 million. We believe that the recorded liability represents the low end of a reasonable range of estimated liability associated with these environmental issues. These costs are expected to be incurred over the next several years. If events or circumstances arise that are unforeseen to us as of the balance sheet date, actual costs could differ materially from the recorded liability. In addition, a preliminary risk investigation and feasibility study are expected to be completed in the second half of fiscal year 2006 which may have a significant impact on our estimate.
The remaining $3.0 million of contingency accruals included amounts primarily related to intellectual property and employment issues, as well as contingencies related to dispositions of assets other than CPID. If events or circumstances arise that we did not foresee as of the balance sheet date, actual costs could differ materially from the above described estimates of contingencies.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Accordingly, we do not amortize goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, but we amortize other acquisition-related intangibles with finite useful lives. As of August 27, 2005, the balance of goodwill, net was $303.2 million, which was recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We will perform an annual goodwill impairment analysis during the second quarter of each fiscal year. The impairment analysis is based on a discounted cash flow approach that uses estimates of future market share and revenues and costs for the reporting units as well as appropriate discount rates. The estimates used are consistent with the plans and estimates that we use to manage the underlying businesses. However, if we fail to deliver new products for these reporting units, if the products fail to gain expected market acceptance, or if market conditions in the related businesses are
27
Table of Contents
unfavorable, revenue and cost forecasts may not be achieved, and we may incur charges for impairment of goodwill.
As of August 27, 2005, we had $102.6 million of non-goodwill intangible assets recorded in Other long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, which included intangible assets primarily from the acquisition of Inet, acquired patent intangibles and licenses for certain technology.
For intangible assets with finite useful lives that are not software-related, we amortize the cost over the estimated useful lives and assess any impairment by estimating the future cash flow from the associated asset in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” If the estimated undiscounted cash flow related to these assets decreases in the future or the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, we may incur charges to impair these assets. The impairment would be based on the estimated discounted cash flow associated with each asset. Impairment could result if the underlying technology fails to gain market acceptance, we fail to deliver new products related to these technology assets, the products fail to gain expected market acceptance or if market conditions in the related businesses are unfavorable.
For software-related intangible assets with finite useful lives, we amortize the cost over the estimated economic life of the software product and assess impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” At each balance sheet date, the unamortized cost of the software-related intangible asset is compared to its net realizable value. The net realizable value is the estimated future gross revenues from the software product reduced by the estimated future costs of completing and disposing of that product, including the costs of performing maintenance and customer support. The excess of the unamortized cost over the net realizable value would then be recognized as an impairment loss. Amortization expense for intangible assets that are software-related developed technology is recorded as Cost of sales on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 Financial Statements for additional information on software-related intangible assets acquired from Inet.
We do not amortize intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. However, we reevaluate this decision each reporting period. If we subsequently determine that a nonamortizable intangible asset has a finite useful life, the intangible asset will be written down to the lower of its fair value or carrying amount and then amortized over its remaining useful life on a prospective basis. We review nonamortizable intangible assets annually for impairment and more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the intangible asset may be impaired. The impairment test includes a comparison of the fair value of the nonamortizable intangible asset with its carrying value. An impairment loss would be recognized as a charge to continuing operations if the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the nonamortizable intangible asset. The balance of nonamortizable intangible assets of $11.2 million as of August 27, 2005 resulted primarily from the Inet acquisition during the second quarter of fiscal year 2005. Accordingly, the nonamortizable intangible assets were recorded at their fair values and no events or circumstances have arisen that would indicate that the intangible assets may be impaired. We will perform our annual nonamortizable intangible asset impairment test in conjunction with our annual goodwill impairment test in the second quarter of this fiscal year.
Pension plans
Tektronix offers defined benefit pension plan benefits to employees in certain countries. The Cash Balance pension plan in the United States is our largest defined benefit pension plan. Employees hired after July 31, 2004 do not participate in the U.S. Cash Balance pension plan. We maintain less significant defined benefit plans in other countries including the United Kingdom, Germany, Holland and Taiwan.
Pension plans are a significant cost of doing business and the related obligations are expected to be settled far in the future. Accounting for defined benefit pension plans results in the current recognition of liabilities and net periodic pension cost over employees’ expected service periods based on the terms of the plans and the impact of our investment and funding decisions. The measurement of pension obligations and recognition of liabilities and costs require significant assumptions. Two critical assumptions, the discount rate and the expected long-term rate of return on the assets of the plan, have had a significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Discount rate assumptions are used to measure pension obligations for the recognition of a net pension liability on the balance sheet and the service cost and interest cost components of net periodic pension cost. We estimate discount rates to reflect the rates at which the pension benefits could be
28
Table of Contents
effectively settled. In making those estimates, we evaluate rates of return on high-quality fixed-income investments currently available and expected to be available during the settlement of future pension benefits. The weighted average of discount rates used in determining our pension obligation as of May 28, 2005, our most recent fiscal year end, was 5.3% as compared with the 6.1% weighted average of discount rates used as of May 29, 2004. The reduction in the discount rate created an unrecognized net loss that contributed to most of the increase in the cumulative additional minimum pension charge described below. A discount rate of 5.5% was used to determine the projected benefit obligation for the U.S. Cash Balance pension plan, which is our largest obligation. A decrease of 25 basis points in the discount rate as of May 28, 2005 would increase the projected benefit obligation for the U.S. Cash Balance pension plan by $11.0 million and the impact on pension expense would not be significant since the reduction in interest cost would be offset by an increase in the amortization of unrecognized net loss.
The long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption is applied to the market-related value of plan assets to estimate income from return on plan assets. This income from return on plan assets offsets the various cost components of net periodic pension cost. The various cost components of net periodic pension cost primarily include interest cost on accumulated benefits, service cost for benefits earned during the period, and amortization of unrecognized gains and losses. The amount of net pension expense recognized has increased from prior periods due primarily to our beginning to amortize previously unrecognized losses resulting from the decline in the fair value of plan assets and decreases in discount rate, decline in the return on plan assets assumption, and reduction in the market-related value of plan assets. Cumulative income recognized from the long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption has differed materially from the actual returns on plan assets. This has resulted in a net unrecognized loss on plan assets that contributed a significant portion of the additional minimum pension liability described below. To the extent this unrecognized loss is not offset by future unrecognized gains, there will continue to be a negative impact to net earnings as this amount is amortized as a cost component of net periodic pension cost.
Our estimated weighted average long-term rate of return on plan assets for all plans for fiscal year 2006 is approximately 8.3%. A one percentage point change in the estimated long-term rate of return on plan assets would result in a change in operating income of $5.9 million for fiscal year 2006.
We measure pension obligations, fair value of plan assets, and the impact of significant assumptions at the end of each fiscal year. At May 28, 2005, the accumulated benefit obligation exceeded the fair value of plan assets for certain pension plans, resulting in an unfunded accumulated benefit obligation for those plans. In accordance with SFAS No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions,” we recognized an additional minimum pension liability due to the unfunded accumulated benefit obligation. Recognition of an additional minimum liability was required since an unfunded accumulated benefit obligation exists and an asset has been recognized as prepaid pension cost. Since the additional minimum liability exceeded unrecognized prior service cost, the excess (which would represent a net loss not yet recognized as net periodic pension cost) has been reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of applicable income tax benefit.
As of May 28, 2005, the cumulative additional minimum pension charge included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss was $198.4 million, net of income tax benefit of $123.7 million. During fiscal year 2005, the cumulative additional minimum pension charge increased by $24.7 million, net of income tax benefit of $15.7 million, largely due to the change in the discount rate described above. The implication of the additional minimum pension liability is that it may reduce net income in future years by reducing the market related value of plan assets, thereby reducing the asset base upon which we recognize a return. We may find it necessary to fund additional pension assets, which would increase the market related value of plan assets upon which we recognize a return but would reduce operating cash and future interest earnings on that cash. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, we made a voluntary contribution of $33.4 million to the U.S. Cash Balance pension plan. Depending on the future market performance of the pension plan assets, we may make additional large cash contributions to the plan.
We continue to assess assumptions for the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and discount rate based on relevant market conditions as prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and make adjustments to the assumptions as appropriate. Net pension expense was $3.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, which included the effect of the recognition of service cost, interest cost, the assumed return on plan assets and amortization of a portion of the unrecognized loss noted above. Net pension expense was allocated to Cost of sales,

Income Taxes
We are subject to taxation from federal, state and international jurisdictions. Our annual provision for income taxes and the determination of the resulting deferred tax assets and liabilities involve a significant amount of management judgment and are based on the best information available at the time. The actual income tax liabilities to the jurisdictions with respect to any fiscal year are ultimately determined long after the financial statements have been published. We maintain reserves for estimated tax exposures in jurisdictions of operation. These tax jurisdictions include federal, state and various international tax jurisdictions. Significant income tax exposures include potential challenges of research and experimentation credits, export-related tax benefits, disposition transactions and intercompany pricing. Exposures are settled primarily through the completion of audits within these tax jurisdictions, but can also be affected by changes in applicable tax law or other factors, which could cause us to believe a revision of past estimates is appropriate. We believe that an appropriate liability has been established for estimated exposures; however, actual results may differ materially from these estimates. The liabilities are reviewed quarterly for their adequacy and appropriateness.
During the current quarter, we finalized several income tax audits with the tax authorities in the United States and other countries. In addition, we received approval from the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation for the federal audit of fiscal years 2001, 2002 and 2003, which was completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005. Finalization of the audit resulted in a reduction in the related reserve which was partially offset by other adjustments for tax contingences, for a net decrease of approximately $0.9 million of reserves related to uncertain tax positions.
The liabilities associated with the open years subject to income tax audits will ultimately be resolved when events such as the completion of audits by the taxing jurisdictions occur. To the extent the audits or other events result in a material adjustment to the accrued estimates, the effect would be recognized in Income tax expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period of the event. We believe that an appropriate liability has been established for estimated exposures; however, actual results may differ materially from these estimates.
Judgment is also applied in determining whether deferred tax assets will be realized in full or in part. When it is more likely than not that all or some portion of specific deferred tax assets such as foreign tax credit carryovers or net operating loss carryforwards will not be realized, a valuation allowance must be established for the amount of the deferred tax assets that are determined not to be realizable. As of August 27, 2005, we maintained a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets, primarily foreign tax credit carryforwards. We have not established valuation allowances against other deferred tax assets based on tax strategies planned to mitigate the risk of impairment to these assets. Accordingly, if our facts or financial results were to change thereby impacting the likelihood of realizing the deferred tax assets, judgment would have to be applied to determine if changes to the amount of the valuation allowance are necessary in any given period. We continually evaluate strategies that could allow the future utilization of our deferred tax assets.

First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2006 Compared to the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2005
Economic Conditions
During fiscal year 2004, we experienced a phased recovery of our end markets that began at the end of the prior fiscal year, with growth increasing across all regions and most product lines throughout the year. We also saw market share gains in most of our product categories during calendar year 2004.
We saw growth in demand broadly across our business in the first three quarters of fiscal year 2005. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005, we saw our order growth rate decline across most of our product categories and did not experience the normal increase associated with our fourth quarter.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, order results were mixed, with growth in some product categories and regions and decline in others. From a regional standpoint, we saw strong growth in orders in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 as compared with the first quarter of the prior fiscal year in Europe and the United States. In the United States, the growth was driven primarily by the acquisition of Inet, which was not part of our business in the first quarter of fiscal year 2005. In Europe, growth was driven by strength in telecommunications products overall, as well as the addition of the Inet business. However, we experienced declines in most of our general purpose product categories and softness in most of our markets across all regions, particularly in the beginning of the quarter. Although business levels improved late in the quarter, there can be no assurance that our underlying markets will improve or that levels of business activity will continue as a trend into the future. Recent macroeconomic factors such as increases in energy prices, hurricanes in the United States, and
31
Table of Contents
rising interest rates could have a negative impact on the economy overall and therefore on our business. The exchange rate for the U.S. Dollar against major currencies resulted in a minimal impact to orders and sales in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 as compared with the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. The direction of currency fluctuations in the future, and the resulting impact on orders and sales, cannot be predicted.
We incurred relatively the same level of business realignment costs during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 as compared with the same quarter of fiscal year 2005. Costs incurred during the current quarter primarily relate to restructuring actions we initiated in response to softer market conditions in some of the markets we serve that began in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005 and continued into the early part of the first quarter of fiscal year 2006.
Acquisition of Inet Technologies, Inc.
We completed the acquisition of Inet on September 30, 2004. Accordingly, the results of operations for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 included three months of activity from this business. As there was no Inet related activity in the prior fiscal year comparative period, an understanding of the impact from the acquisition of Inet is an important component to understand the current quarter results of operations. In our description of the results of operations that follow, we have quantified the impact of the Inet acquisition where meaningful.
Discontinuation of Rohde and Schwarz Distribution Agreement
On June 1, 2004, we discontinued our distribution agreement with Rohde and Schwarz (“R&S”), under which Tektronix had served as the exclusive distributor for R&S’ communication test products in the United States and Canada since 1993. Substantially all product backlog related to R&S distributed product was shipped and recognized as revenue during the first quarter of fiscal year 2005. Accordingly, we have not derived significant revenue from the shipment of R&S products since the first quarter of fiscal year 2005.
Product Orders
The following table is presented to quantify the impact on product orders from the acquisition of Inet and the discontinuation of the R&S distribution agreement.

Product orders consist of cancelable commitments to purchase currently produced products by customers with delivery scheduled generally within six months of being recorded. Starting in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, we included Inet post-contract support agreements in product orders. Product orders for the first quarter of fiscal year 2005 did not include any Inet orders. Future presentation of quarterly product orders will include the Inet post-contract support agreements.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, product orders increased by $26.1 million or 13% from the same quarter last year including $1.7 million of Inet post-contract support agreements. The increase in product orders was largely attributable to the net impact of additional orders of $44.8 million from the acquisition of Inet, offset by an $18.8 million decrease in our other product categories, primarily due to soft market conditions experienced early in the quarter. The exchange rate for the U.S. Dollar against major currencies did not have a material impact on orders in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 relative to the prior fiscal year.

Geographically, product orders increased by 19% in the United States, and increased by 10% internationally for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 as compared with the same quarter last year. Growth in international regions was primarily driven by Europe, which grew approximately 64%, but partially offset by the decrease in the Pacific and Japan, where product orders decreased by 11% and 15%, respectively.
Growth in the United States was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Inet. Growth in Europe was primarily attributable to the growth in our telecommunications products and the acquisition of Inet, which has significant large customers in that region. Decline in Japan is primarily attributable to a difficult comparison to the prior fiscal year, when we saw very strong consumer electronics and semiconductor activity. Results in the Pacific region were mixed, with some countries showing growth and others decline.
Net Sales
The following table is presented to quantify the impact on net sales from the acquisition of Inet and the discontinuation of the R&S distribution agreement.

Consolidated net sales during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 decreased by $15.4 million, or 6%, over the same period last year. The overall decrease in net sales reflects a combination of factors including the addition of Inet sales of $31.8 million, a reduction in sales of $21.2 million due to the discontinuation of R&S distribution agreement, and less backlog reduction in the first quarter of the current year as compared with same period in the prior fiscal year. The sizeable backlog reduction last year was driven by the shipment of virtually all remaining backlog of R&S product orders.
Tektronix other sales, which exclude net sales associated with Inet or R&S distributed products, for the current quarter decreased $26.0 million, or 11%, from the prior fiscal year comparable period. The lower sales in the current year were a result of the lower orders described above. The exchange rate for the U.S. Dollar against major currencies resulted in a minimal impact to sales in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 relative to the prior fiscal year.
Starting the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, we began to include Inet post-contract support agreements in product backlog. Product backlog at May 28, 2005 had been reported as $147.0 million. Including these Inet post-contract support agreements, product backlog as of May 28, 2005, was $171.2 million. For the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, product backlog including Inet post-contract support increased $5.0 million to $176.2 million, which was approximately 10 weeks of sales. Product

Table of Contents
backlog levels are affected by the timing of product orders received within the quarter. We maintain a general target for product backlog levels of 6 to 8 weeks of product sales. As we increase or decrease the level of product backlog within any given fiscal period, the direct correlation between product orders and product sales may vary.
In addition to product sales, net sales also include service revenues and sales from Maxtek, our wholly-owned components manufacturing subsidiary that produces components for third party customers as well as Tektronix.

Net sales in the United States decreased by 20% over the same period in the prior fiscal year, while international net sales increased by 4%. The decrease in net sales in the United States was largely due to the discontinuation of the R&S distribution agreement, under which we distributed the R&S products in North America, primarily in the United States. The increase in net sales in Europe was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Inet. The decrease in net sales in Japan was due to the decline in orders discussed in the Product Orders section above.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 was $136.0 million, a decrease of $12.5 million or 8%, from gross profit of $148.5 million for the same quarter last year. The decrease in gross profit was primarily attributable to the decrease in sales volume during the first quarter of the current fiscal year as well as the impact of non-cash amortization of acquired technology intangibles related to the Inet acquisition.
Gross margin is the measure of gross profit as a percentage of net sales. Gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 was 57.8%, a decrease of 1.5 points from the 59.3% gross margin in the same quarter last year. Gross margin is affected by a variety of factors including, among other items, sales volumes, mix of product shipments, product pricing, inventory impairments and other costs such as warranty repair and sustaining engineering. The mix of product shipments was favorable and partially offset by the lower sales volume in the first quarter of the current fiscal year.
The mix of product shipments was favorable in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 because of the absence of shipments of lower margin R&S products compared to the same quarter last year. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2005, gross margin on R&S distribution sales was 29.2%. As noted above, Tektronix discontinued acting as the distributor of these products in the United States and Canada effective June 1, 2004.
Gross margin in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 was unfavorably impacted by $5.1 million from charges resulting from the acquisition of Inet, which primarily included the amortization of acquisition related intangible assets. For additional information on the amortization of acquisition related intangible assets see the Acquisition of Inet Technologies, Inc. section above in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses include research and development expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses, business realignment costs, acquisition related costs and amortization and loss (gain) on disposition of assets, net. Each of these categories of operating expenses is discussed further below. It should be noted that although a portion of operating expenses is variable and will fluctuate with operating levels, many costs are fixed in nature and are subject to increase due to inflation and annual labor cost increases. Additionally, we must continue to invest in the development of new products and the infrastructure to market and sell those products even during periods where operating results reflect only nominal growth, are flat or declining. Accordingly, as we make cost reductions in response to changes in business levels or other specific business events, these reductions can be partially or wholly offset by these other increases to the fixed cost structure.
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses are incurred for the design and testing of new products, technologies and processes, including pre-production prototypes, models and tools. Such costs include labor and employee benefits, contract services, materials, equipment and facilities. R&D expenses increased $10.0 million, or 30%, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 as compared with the same quarter last year. This increase was primarily attributable to the addition of $9.4 million of R&D expenses associated with the Inet business acquired in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. The remaining increase of $0.6 million in the current quarter was attributable to selected levels of spending on new product development.
We continuously invest in the development of new products and technologies, and the timing of these costs varies depending on the stage of the development process. At times, we may focus certain engineering resources on the maintenance of the current product portfolio (sustaining engineering), which is expensed in Cost of goods sold on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Our use of engineering resources between R&D and sustaining engineering can fluctuate. Additionally, expenses for materials and prototypes can fluctuate as a result of the varying stages of product development.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $3.5 million, or 5% in the current quarter as compared with the same quarter last year. This increase in SG&A was largely attributable to the acquisition of Inet partially offset by reductions in discretionary spending. Excluding the impact of the Inet acquisition, SG&A expenses decreased $3.7 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 as compared with the same quarter last year. The decreases in discretionary spending are largely attributable to expense control efforts.
Acquisition related costs and amortization are incurred as a direct result of the integration of significant acquisitions. The acquisition related costs of $3.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 primarily related to the acquisition of Inet in the prior fiscal year and the redemption of Sony/Tektronix in fiscal year 2003. These costs included $1.3 million for amortization of intangible assets, $1.0 million for transition expenses resulting from the Inet acquisition accounting, $0.7 million of expense related to the redemption of Sony/Tektronix, and $0.4 million for a write-off of other IPR&D. The Inet purchase price and the allocation of the purchase price are discussed in the Acquisition of Inet Technologies, Inc. section above in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis. The $0.7 million of expense related to the redemption of Sony/Tektronix was primarily for voluntary retention bonuses to provide certain employees in Gotemba, Japan an incentive to remain with Tektronix while we complete our plan to transition manufacturing operations to other locations. Accordingly, we recognized a liability for retention bonuses for 48 employees totaling $3.5 million that has been accrued ratably over the 18 month period ending August 2005.
Business realignments costs represent actions to realign our cost structure in response to significant changes in operating levels or a significant acquisition or divestiture. These costs primarily comprise severance costs for reductions in employee headcount and costs associated with the closure of facilities and subsidiaries. In recent fiscal years, business realignment costs have primarily been associated with the realignment of our cost structure in response to the dramatic economic decline experienced in the technology sector beginning during fiscal years 2001, and continuing into fiscal year 2003, as well as restructuring costs associated with our redemption of Sony/Tektronix. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 we took actions in response to the recent softening in orders in some of product areas.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 we incurred business realignment costs of $2.5 million. For a full description of the components of business realignment costs please refer to the Business

Realignment Costs section above in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Item 1 Financial Statements.
The net loss on disposition of assets was insignificant in the current quarter. The gain on disposition of assets from the first quarter of last fiscal year was primarily due to the sale of property located in Nevada City, California. Net proceeds of $9.9 million were received from the sale of the Nevada City assets with a carrying value of $7.7 million, resulting in a gain on sale of $2.2 million. This gain was partially offset by losses and impairments incurred in the ordinary course of business.
Non-Operating Income / Expense
Interest income during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 decreased $2.4 million from the same quarter last year. The decrease in interest income was due to a lower average balance of cash and investments resulting from our use of cash for planned pension funding, the repurchase of Tektronix common stock, and the payout of incentives accrued in the prior fiscal year, as well as lower yields on invested cash.
Interest expense during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 was minimal and did not change significantly as compared with the same quarter last year.
Other non-operating expense, net decreased $1.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 as compared with the same quarter last year. Other non-operating expense, net in the prior fiscal year first quarter included the write-down of a non-operating asset.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 was $5.7 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 28.7% as compared with 30.0% in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year.
Net Earnings
For the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, Tektronix recognized consolidated net earnings of $14.1 million, a decrease of $22.3 million from net earnings of $36.4 million for the same quarter last year. The current quarter decrease was due to a combination of factors including the amortization of intangibles from the Inet acquisition and other acquisition related costs; the decrease in R&S sales, which had minimal associated operating expenses; and lower sales driven by softer market conditions.
Earnings Per Share
The decrease in earnings per share is a result of the decreased net earnings discussed above, and to a lesser extent, increased weighted average shares outstanding in the current year as a result of the issuance of shares for the acquisition of Inet, offset by shares repurchased by Tektronix.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Cash
Cash Flows.The following table is a summary of our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
(In thousands) | Aug. 27, 2005 | Aug. 28, 2004 | ||||||
Cash provided by (used in): | ||||||||
Operating activities | $ | (44,680 | ) | $ | (43,120 | ) | ||
Investing activities | 61,773 | 57,818 | ||||||
Financing activities | (53,013 | ) | (56,286 | ) |
Operating Activities.Cash used in operating activities of $44.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 increased by $1.6 million as compared with the same quarter last year. The impact of lower net sales and gross profit in the first quarter were offset by lower cash payments of $33.4 million for cash contributions to the U.S. Cash Balance pension plan and $24.8 million for annual incentive compensation payouts accrued during fiscal year 2005, as compared with payments in the first quarter of fiscal year 2005 of $46.5 million for a cash contribution to the U.S. Cash Balance pension plan and $29.8 million for annual incentive compensation accrued during fiscal year 2004. Other adjustments to reconcile net earnings to net cash provided by operating activities are presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
As noted above, we made a cash contribution of $33.4 million to the U.S. Cash Balance pension plan in the current quarter. This funding reduced Long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Depending on the future market performance of the pension plan assets, we may make additional large cash contributions to the plan.
Investing Activities. Cash provided by investing activities for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 was $61.8 million as compared with $57.8 million in the same quarter last year. The increase of $4.0 million in net cash inflow provided by investing activities was largely attributable to $72.4 million of net sales and maturities of marketable investment securities, with no offsetting purchases of similar securities as compared to $81.9 million of net sales and maturities of marketable investment securities, offset by $28.9 million of purchases of marketable investment securities in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year. The cash inflow from these investments was used to fund the $33.4 million contribution to the U.S. Cash Balance pension plan, the $24.8 million payment of incentive compensation accrued in fiscal year 2005, the repurchase of common stock and for capital purchases of fixed assets used in the ordinary course of business. Proceeds from the disposition of property, plant and equipment were insignificant in this year’s first quarter as compared to proceeds of $12.4 million in the first quarter of last year, primarily due to the sale of property in Nevada City, California.
Financing Activities.Cash used in financing activities of $53.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 decreased $3.3 million as compared with the first quarter of fiscal year 2005. This decrease was largely due to lower repurchases of Tektronix common stock, offset by lower proceeds from employee stock plans. During the current quarter, we paid $52.7 million to repurchase 2.2 million shares of Tektronix common stock at an average price of $24.22 per share, compared with payments totaling $61.8 million in the same quarter last year to repurchase 2.1 million shares of common stock at an average price of $29.02 per share. These cash outflows were partially offset by proceeds from employee stock plans of $4.9 million in the current quarter, a decrease from proceeds of $9.0 million in the same quarter last fiscal year. The decrease in proceeds from employee stock plans was largely due to decreased option activity in the current quarter as compared with the same quarter last fiscal year. Dividend payments were $5.1 million in the current quarter as compared to $3.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2005. The dividend declaration and payment was $0.06 per common share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 as compared to $0.04 per common share for the same quarter last fiscal year. Tektronix may or may not pay dividends in the future and, if dividends are paid, Tektronix may pay more or less than $0.06 per share per quarter.
The above noted repurchases of Tektronix common stock were made under authorizations totaling $950.0 million approved by the Board of Directors. These authorizations to purchase common stock on the open market or through negotiated transactions comprised $550.0 million in fiscal year 2000 and $400.0 million in fiscal year 2005. As of August 27, 2005, we had repurchased a total of 27.1 million shares at an average price of $23.95 per share totaling $649.9 million under this authorization. The reacquired shares were immediately retired, in accordance with Oregon corporate law.

Subsequent to the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, on September 15, 2005, Tektronix declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share for the second quarter of fiscal year 2006. The dividend will be paid on October 24, 2005 to shareholders of record as of the close of market on October 7, 2005.
At August 27, 2005, we maintained unsecured bank credit facilities totaling $35.8 million, of which $32.3 million was unused.

Total current liabilities | 218,632 | 251,505 | ||||||
Working capital | $ | 366,394 | $ | 367,621 | ||||
Working capital decreased in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 by $1.2 million. Current assets decreased in the current quarter by $34.1 million largely due to decreases in Cash and cash equivalents and Short-term marketable investments which resulted primarily from the repurchase of Tektronix common stock and funding our contribution to the U.S. Cash Balance pension plan. Current liabilities decreased $32.9 million, primarily from a decrease of $23.5 million in accrued compensation largely related to the payment of fiscal year 2005 annual incentive compensation. Significant changes in cash and cash equivalents and marketable investments are discussed in the Sources and Uses of Cash section above.
Cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities and current borrowing capacity are expected to be sufficient to fund operations, acquisitions and potential acquisitions, capital expenditures and contractual obligations through fiscal year 2006.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.” SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in Accounting Research Bulletins (“ARB”) No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that “. . . under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. . . .” SFAS No. 151 requires that those items be recognized as current period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal.” In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of SFAS No. 151 will apply to inventory costs beginning in fiscal year 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of Tektronix.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”). This new pronouncement, as interpreted, requires compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured
38
Table of Contents
based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS No. 123R covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee stock purchase plans. SFAS No. 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS No. 123, as originally issued in 1995, established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. However, SFAS No. 123 permitted entities the option of continuing to apply the guidance in APB No. 25, as long as the footnotes to financial statements disclosed what net income would have been had the preferable fair-value-based method been used. Tektronix will be required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 123R in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. Management is currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS No. 123R. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R is expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of Tektronix. See Note 4 for the pro forma impact on net earnings and earnings per share from calculating stock-related compensation cost under the fair value alternative of SFAS No. 123. However, the calculation of compensation cost for share-based payment transactions after the effective date of SFAS No. 123R may be different from the calculation of compensation cost under SFAS No. 123, but such differences have not yet been quantified.
In April 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations.” This interpretation clarifies that the entity is required to record a liability in financial statements for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The “conditional asset retirement obligation” terminology used in SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. This interpretation is required to be adopted no later than the end of fiscal year 2006. Tektronix adopted this FIN 47 beginning with the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 without a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of Tektronix.
In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of APB No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.” This SFAS No. 154 supersedes APB No. 20, “Accounting Changes,” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless this would be impracticable. When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an accounting change on one or more individual prior periods presented, this statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable. This statement also requires that if an entity changes its method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, nonfinancial assets, the change must be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate. This statement will be effective in fiscal year 2007. Management does not expect this statement to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of Tektronix.
In June 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 143-1, “Accounting for Electronic Equipment Waste Obligations.” This FSP FAS 143-1 addresses the accounting related to obligations associated with Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment adopted by the European Union (EU). This FSP FAS 143-1 is effective the later of the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 or the date of adoption of the law by the applicable EU-member country. Tektronix adopted this FSP FAS 143-1 beginning with the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 without a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of Tektronix.

Risks and Uncertainties
Described below are some of the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report. See “Forward-Looking Statements” that precedes Part I of this Form 10-Q.
We compete in a cyclical market.
Our business depends on capital expenditures of manufacturers in a wide range of industries, including the telecommunications, semiconductor, and computer industries. Each of these industries has historically been cyclical and has experienced periodic downturns, which have had a material adverse impact on the industries’ demand for equipment and services manufactured and marketed by us. During periods of reduced and declining demand, we may need to rapidly align our cost structure with prevailing market conditions while at the same time motivate and retain key employees. Our net sales and operating results could be adversely affected by the reversal of any current trends or any future downturns or slowdowns in the rate of capital investment in these industries. In addition, the telecommunications industry has been going through a period of consolidation in which several major telecommunications operators have either merged with each other or been acquired. This consolidation activity may affect the overall level of capital expenditures made by these operators on test and measurement equipment, and may also affect the relative competitive position between us and our competitors in this market.
The industries we serve experience rapid changes in technology.
We sell our products to customers that participate in rapidly changing high technology markets, which are characterized by short product life cycles. Our ability to deliver a timely flow of competitive new products and market acceptance of those products, as well as the ability to increase production or to develop and maintain effective sales channels, is essential to growing the business. Because we sell test, measurement and diagnostic products that enable our customers to develop new technologies, we must accurately anticipate the ever-evolving needs of those customers and deliver appropriate products and technologies at competitive prices to meet customer demands. Our ability to deliver those products could be affected by engineering or other development program delays as well as the availability of parts and supplies from third party providers on a timely basis and at reasonable prices. In addition, we face risks associated with bringing products into compliance with the “Restriction of Hazardous Substances” worldwide regulatory provisions, which include removing lead from current and future product designs. Failure to deliver competitive products in a timely manner and at a reasonable price could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
There are additional product risks associated with sales of the network monitoring products. Sales of these products are typically recognized upon the completion of system installation or customer acceptance. Changes or delays in the implementation or customer acceptance of our products could harm our financial results. Sales of our network monitoring products are made predominantly to a small number of large communications carriers and involve significant capital expenditures as well as lengthy sales cycles and implementation processes, which could harm our financial results. We rely upon software licensed from third parties such as Oracle Corporation, Cognos Incorporated and others. If we are unable to maintain these software licenses on commercially reasonable terms, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could be harmed.
In addition, we expect spending for traditional networks to continue to decrease, which requires that we continue to develop products and applications for networks based on emerging next-generation wireless and packet-based technologies and standards. We may not successfully develop or acquire additional competitive products for these emerging technologies and standards.
Further, we have included security features in some of the network monitoring products that are intended to protect the privacy and integrity of customer data. Despite the existence of these security features, these products may be vulnerable to breaches in security due to unknown defects in the security mechanisms, as well as vulnerabilities inherent in the operating system or hardware platform on which the product runs and/or the networks linked to that platform. Security vulnerabilities, regardless of origin, could jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted through the computer systems of our customers. Any security problem may require significant expenditures to solve and could materially harm our reputation and product acceptance.
40
Table of Contents
Competition is intense, may intensify and could result in increased downward pricing pressure, reduced margins and the loss of market share.
We compete with a number of companies in specialized areas of other test and measurement products and one large broad line measurement products supplier, Agilent Technologies. Other competitors include Anritsu Corporation, Catapult Communications, JDS Uniphase Corporation, LeCroy Corporation, Rohde & Schwarz, Spirent Communications, Yokogawa Electric Corporation and many other smaller companies. In general, the test and measurement industry is a highly competitive market based primarily on product performance, technology, customer service, product availability and price. Some of our competitors may have greater resources to apply to each of these factors and in some cases have built significant reputations with the customer base in each market in which we compete. We face pricing pressures that may have an adverse impact on our earnings. If we are unable to compete effectively on these and other factors, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. In addition, we enjoy a leadership position in various core product categories, and continually develop and introduce new products designed to maintain that leadership, as well as to penetrate new markets. Failure to develop and introduce new products that maintain a leadership position or that fail to penetrate new markets may adversely affect operating results.
We obtain various key components and services from sole and limited source suppliers.
Our manufacturing operations are dependent on the ability of suppliers to deliver high quality components, subassemblies and completed products in time to meet critical manufacturing and distribution schedules. We periodically experience constrained supply of component parts in some product lines as a result of strong demand in the industry for those parts. These constraints, if persistent, may adversely affect operating results until alternate sourcing can be developed. There is increased risk of supplier constraints in periods where we are increasing production volume to meet customer demands. Volatility in the prices of these component parts, an inability to secure enough components at reasonable prices to build new products in a timely manner in the quantities and configurations demanded or, conversely, a temporary oversupply of these parts, could adversely affect our future operating results. In addition, we use various sole source components that are integral to a variety of products. Disruption in key sole source suppliers could have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations.
We are dependent on various third party logistics providers to distribute our products throughout the world. Any disruptions in their ability to ship products to our customers could have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2006, we are transitioning to a new logistics services provider for a significant portion of our shipments. A transition to a new service provider increases the risk of disrupted shipments in the periods following the transition.
Changes or delays in the implementation or customer acceptance of our products could harm our financial results.
Revenues for a significant portion of our network monitoring solution products are typically recognized upon the completion of system installation or customer acceptance. Delays caused by us or our customers in the commencement or completion of scheduled product installations and acceptance testing may occur from time to time. Because a significant portion of our total revenues on a quarterly basis is derived from projects requiring customer acceptance, product installation delays could materially harm our financial results for a particular period. Additionally, we may be subject to penalties or other customer claims for a failure to meet contractually agreed upon milestones or deadlines.
A significant portion of our revenues have come from international customers, and, as a result, our business may be harmed by political and economic conditions in foreign markets and the challenges associated with operating internationally.
We maintain operations in four major geographies: the Americas, including the United States, Mexico, Canada and South America; Europe, including Europe, Russia, the Middle East and Africa; the Pacific, including China, India, Korea and Singapore; and Japan. For fiscal year 2005, more than half of our revenues were from international sales. In addition, some of our manufacturing operations and key suppliers are located in foreign countries, including China, where we expect to further expand our operations. As a result, the business is subject to the worldwide economic and market conditions risks generally associated with doing business globally, such as fluctuating exchange rates; the stability of international monetary conditions; tariff and trade policies; export license requirements and restrictions of the export of technology; import regulations; domestic and foreign tax policies; foreign governmental
41
Table of Contents
regulations; political unrest, wars and acts of terrorism; epidemic disease and other health concerns; and changes in other economic and political conditions. These factors, among others, could restrict or adversely affect our ability to sell in global markets, as well as our ability to manufacture products or procure supplies, and could subject us to additional costs. In addition, a significant downturn in the global economy or a particular region could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Our success depends on our ability to maintain and protect our intellectual property and the intellectual property licensed from others.
As a technology-based company, our success depends on developing and protecting our intellectual property. We rely generally on patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws in the United States and abroad. Electronic equipment as complex as most of our products, however, is generally not patentable in its entirety. We also license intellectual property from third parties and rely on those parties to maintain and protect their technology. We cannot be certain that actions we take to establish and protect proprietary rights will be adequate, particularly in countries (including China) where intellectual property rights are not highly developed or protected. If we are unable to adequately protect our technology, or if we are unable to continue to obtain or maintain licenses for protected technology from third parties, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. From time to time in the usual course of business, we receive notices from third parties regarding intellectual property infringement or take action against others with regard to intellectual property rights. Even where we are successful in defending or pursuing infringement claims, we may incur significant costs. In the event of a successful claim against us, we could lose our rights to needed technology or be required to pay license fees for the infringed rights, either of which could have an adverse impact on our business.
We are subject to environmental regulations.
We are subject to a variety of federal, state, local and foreign environmental regulations relating to the use, storage, discharge and disposal of our hazardous chemicals used during our manufacturing process. We have closed a licensed hazardous waste management facility at our Beaverton, Oregon campus and have entered into a consent order with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality requiring certain remediation actions. If we fail to comply with the consent order or any present or future regulations, we could be subject to future liabilities or the suspension of production. In addition, environmental regulations could restrict our ability to expand our facilities or could require us to acquire costly equipment, or to incur other significant expenses to comply with environmental regulations.
Our stock price can be volatile.
The price of our common stock may be subject to wide, rapid fluctuations. These fluctuations may be due to factors specific to us, such as changes in operating results or changes in analysts’ estimates regarding earnings. Fluctuations in the stock price may also be due to factors relating to the telecommunications, semiconductor, and computer industries or to the securities markets in general. Fluctuations in stock prices have often been unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies whose stocks are traded. Shareholders should be willing to incur the risk of fluctuations in our stock price.

The integration of Inet Technologies, Inc. is subject to risks.
On September 30, 2004 we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Inet Technologies, Inc. We are continuing to integrate the operations of Inet into Tektronix. The successful integration of the Inet business is subject to a number of risk factors that could adversely affect our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. These risks include the necessity of coordinating geographically separated organizations, integrating personnel with diverse business backgrounds, integrating Inet’s technology and products, combining different corporate cultures, retaining key employees, maintaining customer satisfaction and current bid processes, maintaining product development schedules, coordinating sales and marketing activities and preserving important distribution relationships, diversion of management’s attention with the consequent negative impact upon our execution of our overall strategy, and failure to realize expected cost savings and other synergies from the merger.
Our defined benefit pension plans are subject to financial market risks.
Our defined benefit pension plan obligations are affected by changes in market interest rates and the majority of plan assets are invested in publicly traded debt and equity securities, which are affected by market risks. Significant changes in market interest rates, decreases in the fair value of plan assets and investment losses on plan assets may adversely impact our operating results. See “Critical Accounting Estimates” above for additional discussion.
We face other risk factors.
Our business could be impacted by macroeconomic factors. The recent increases in energy prices, hurricanes in the United States, and rising interest rates could have a negative impact on the economy overall and could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Other risk factors include but are not limited to changes in the mix of products sold, regulatory and tax legislation, changes in effective tax rates, inventory risks due to changes in market demand or our business strategies, potential litigation and claims arising in the normal course of business, credit risk of customers, the fact that a substantial portion of our sales are generated from orders received during each quarter, and significant modifications to existing information systems. If any of these risks occur, they could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Financial Market Risk
Tektronix is exposed to financial market risks, including interest rate, equity price and foreign currency exchange rate risks.
Tektronix maintains a short-term and long-term investment portfolio consisting of fixed rate commercial paper, corporate notes and bonds, U.S. Treasury and agency notes, asset backed securities and mortgage securities. The weighted average maturity of the portfolio, excluding mortgage securities, is two years or less. Mortgage securities may have a weighted average life of less than seven years and are managed consistent with the Lehman Mortgage Index. An increase in interest rates of similar instruments would decrease the value of certain of these investments. A 10% rise in interest rates as of August 27, 2005 would reduce the market value by $1.5 million, which would be reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets until sold.
Tektronix is exposed to equity price risk primarily through its marketable equity securities portfolio, including investments in Merix Corporation, Tut Systems, Inc., and other companies. Tektronix has not entered into any hedging programs to mitigate equity price risk. An adverse change of 20% in the value of these securities would reduce the market value by $1.7 million, which would likely be reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets until sold. If the adverse change results in an impairment that is considered to be other-than-temporary, the loss on impairment would be charged to net earnings on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
43
Table of Contents
Tektronix is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk primarily through commitments denominated in foreign currencies. Tektronix utilizes derivative financial instruments, primarily forward foreign currency exchange contracts, generally with maturities of one to three months, to mitigate this risk where natural hedging strategies cannot be employed. Tektronix’ policy is to only enter into derivative transactions when Tektronix has an identifiable exposure to risk, thus not creating additional foreign currency exchange rate risk.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
The U.S. Office of Export Enforcement and the Department of Justice are conducting investigations into Tektronix’ compliance with export regulations with respect to certain sales made in Asia. We are fully cooperating with the investigations. The government could pursue a variety of sanctions against Tektronix, including monetary penalties and restrictions on our exportation of certain products. Based on the status of the investigations as of the date of this report, we do not anticipate that the results of the investigations will have a materially adverse effect on Tektronix’ business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Tektronix is involved in various other litigation matters, claims and investigations that occur in the normal course of business, including but not limited to patent, commercial, personnel and environmental matters. While the results of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that their final outcome will not have a material adverse impact on Tektronix’ business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
