PART I
Item 1. Business
(a) Developments During Fiscal 1998
Total revenues of Analogic Corporation (hereinafter, together with its
subsidiaries, referred to as "Analogic" or the "Company") for the fiscal
year ended July 31, 1998, were $294,472,000 as compared to $256,729,000 for
fiscal year 1997, an increase of 15%. Net income was $23,888,000, or $1.87
per diluted share as compared to $20,090,000, or $1.58 per diluted share
for fiscal year 1997, an increase of 19%.
As previously reported during a routine audit, the Company was notified
by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that it proposed to adjust the
Company's tax returns for the years 1990 through 1992 by increasing its tax
liability for those years by $2,837,473, $2,151,574 and $1,762,849,
respectively. The major claims relate to an alleged forgiveness of debt
arising from the acquisition of property from a subsidiary of the FDIC and
an alleged excess accumulation of earnings. During March 1998, the Company
received notice from the IRS which upheld the Company's position and the
proposed adjustments have been cancelled.
During May 1998, the Company purchased from one of the founders of
Camtronics his entire equity interest in Camtronics for $1,600,000. As a
result of the purchase, the Company's ownership in Camtronics increased to
77%.
The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits rather than four digits to define the applicable year.
Computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date
using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. If the Company's
internal systems do not correctly recognize date information when the year
changes to 2000, there could be an adverse impact on the Company's
operations.
The Company has undertaken considerable effort to assess the impact and
necessary resources required to make its systems Year 2000 compliant.
Currently, the Company is utilizing both internal and external resources to
upgrade its computer hardware and software systems. The Company is also
identifying and implementing changes to other information systems which are
not being replaced in order to make them Year 2000 compliant.
The Company is also assessing the possible effects of Year 2000 issues on
its significant vendors and customers, which could in turn affect the
Company's operations. The Company has not yet been able to determine,
however, whether any of its suppliers or service providers will need to
make any such software modifications or replacements or whether the failure
to make such software corrections will have an adverse effect on the
Company's operations or financial condition.
The Company currently estimates that Year 2000 costs over the next two
fiscal years will range from $4.0 million to $6.0 million. The estimated
costs are based on management's best projections, yet there can be no
guarantee that these forecasts will be achieved and actual results could
differ materially from those anticipated. The cost of the project will be
funded through operating cash flows.
(b) Financial Information About Industry Segment
The Company's operations are within a single segment within the
electronics industry: the design, manufacture and sale of high-technology,
high-performance, high-precision, data acquisition, conversion
(analog/digital) and signal processing instruments and systems.
(c) Narrative Description of Business
Analogic designs, manufactures and sells standard and customized
high-precision data acquisition, conversion and signal processing
equipment. Analogic's principal customers are original equipment
manufacturers who incorporate Analogic's state-of-the-art products into
systems used in medical, industrial and scientific applications.
Analogic is a leader in precision analog-to-digital (A/D) and
digital-to-analog (D/A) conversion technology, which involves the
conversion of continuously varying (i.e., "analog") electrical signals,
such as those representing temperature, pressure, voltage, weight,
velocity, ultrasound and x-ray intensity into and from the numeric (or
"digital") form required by computers, medical imaging equipment and other
data processing equipment and in subsystems and systems based on such
technology.
In addition to their A/D and D/A conversion capabilities, most of
Analogic's products perform calculations on the data being analyzed. Thus,
Analogic's products are an integral part of the communications link between
various analog sensors, detectors or transducers and the people or systems
which interpret or utilize this information.
Analogic's products may be divided for discussion purposes into three
groupings as described below. These products are classified by product
technology and not by application.
Medical Technology Products, consisting primarily of electronic
subsystems for medical imaging equipment, accounted for approximately 74%
of product, service, engineering, and licensing revenue in fiscal 1998.
Analogic's medical imaging data acquisition systems and related computing
equipment are incorporated by U.S., European and Asian manufacturers into
advanced X-ray equipment known as computer assisted tomography (CAT)
scanners. These scanners generate images of the internal anatomy which are
used primarily in diagnosing medical conditions. Analogic's data
acquisition and signal processing systems have advanced CAT scanner
technology by substantially increasing resolution of the image, by reducing
the time necessary to acquire the image, and by reducing the computing time
required to produce the image. Analogic supplies to its medical imaging
customers A/D and D/A conversion equipment and complete data acquisition
systems. The Company also manufactures a complete mobile and other CAT
Scanners incorporating proprietary technology for sale to others.
In addition, the Company manufactures phased array ultrasound systems,
key subsystems, and a family of transducers on an OEM basis for ultrasound
equipment manufacturers. The Company also designs and manufactures
radiology, surgical, and urology ultrasound equipment for the end-user
market.
The Company manufactures electronics for a family of hard copy laser
multi-format medical cameras in single and multi-user configurations that
address the diagnostic image market. These cameras are used in hospitals
world wide to provide diagnostic quality images on film from the electronic
data collected by medical imaging equipment such as CAT scanners and MRI
scanners. The Company also designs and manufactures for OEM customers
advanced RF amplifiers, gradient coil amplifiers, and spectrometers for use
in MRI equipment. These MRI scanners are used primarily to create
diagnostic medical images.
The Company manufactures fetal monitoring products for conversion and
display of biomedical signals. These monitors designed for use in both
antepartum and intrapartum applications have the capability to measure,
compute, display and print fetal and maternal heart rates, maternal
contraction frequency and relative intensity and other maternal vital sign
parameters to determine both maternal and fetal well being.
The Company also manufactures a family of lightweight, portable, multi-
functional, custom patient monitor instruments which acquire, calculate and
display combinations of the five most common vital sign parameters - ECG,
Respiration, Temperature, NIBP and SpO2. These monitors are designed to be
used in a variety of hospital settings such as emergency room, step-down
general care and surgical centers where ease-of-use, portability,
flexibility and costs are important considerations.
The Company also manufactures a broad line of medical connectivity
products that allows medical equipment such as CAT Scanners, MRI and
ultrasound equipment to attach to local DICOM, PACS and wide area networks.
The line includes Computed Radiography (CR) image processing and viewing
work stations.
The products manufactured by Camtronics, a 77% owned subsidiary, are
included herein as medical technology products. They design and manufacture
state-of-the-art image processing products for diagnostic and
interventional applications in cardiac catheterization laboratories and for
other radiology procedures. They also manufacture the ArchiumTM Cardiac
Digital Archive System that stores and displays in real time images from
cardiac labs at multiple locations.
Signal Processing Technology Products, consisting of A/D and D/A
converters and supporting modules, high-speed digital signal processors
such as Array Processors, and image processing equipment, accounted for
approximately 19% of fiscal 1998 product, service, engineering, and
licensing revenue.
The technology developed by Analogic and incorporated within these
products is fundamental to all of the Company's other products.
A/D converters convert continuously varying "analog" signals into the
numerical "digital" form required by microprocessors and other data
processing equipment. D/A converters transform computer output in digital
form into the analog form required by process control equipment. Analogic
manufactures a number of interconnecting and supporting modules relating to
its A/D and D/A converters. These include signal conditioning devices,
which amplify, isolate and filter physical analog signals and sample and
hold devices, which sample rapidly varying phenomena.
Analogic specializes in the manufacture of high-precision and high
performance, rather than lower-cost, low-precision and minimal performance,
data conversion products. Typical applications of these devices include
the conversion of industrial and biomedical signals into computer language.
The Company also manufactures a line of high performance data acquisition
products for the PC 104 market. Designed for embedded processor
applications normally used in OEM products, these cards provide precision
measurement capability between real world signals and the measuring
instrument while meeting all of the requirements of the PC 104 form factor
and bus structure.
The Company recently introduced a line of CompactPCI (CPCI) boards.
These products are fully compatible with the CPCI form factor and bus
structure and take advantage of software written for the PCI bus. The
boards, which are designed for OEM embedded application requiring precision
measurements and high sampling rates, perform acquisition, conditioning,
multiplexing, as well as signal processing functions, and are supported by
Microsoft Windows NT@ software.
Analogic manufactures application accelerator and array processors
(special purpose computers) which generally receive information from a host
computer or data source, rapidly perform the desired calculations, and
return the processed data or results to the host computer. The cost per
calculation of array processors, which can compute and/or manipulate data
at the rate of hundreds of millions of operations per second, is less than
that of general purpose computers. Analogic believes its accelerators and
array processors have generally been cost effective when compared with
competitive products.
The Company is marketing its array processors for applications in speech
processing, speech compression, Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP), X-ray
imaging, manufacturing testing, radar and sonar, geophysical exploration,
and in other technical and scientific areas. In addition, the Company
sells array processors used for image construction in Magnetic Resonance
Imaging (MRI) medical diagnostic systems. The Company also manufactures
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) floating point products which are used in
the above mentioned markets.
Industrial Technology Products, consisting of digital panel instruments,
industrial data acquisition and conversion systems, and test and
measurement devices and automation systems, accounted for approximately 7%
of fiscal 1998 product, service, engineering, and licensing revenue.
Digital panel instruments measure analog inputs and visually display the
result in numerical (digital) form. They are sold to original equipment
manufacturers to be incorporated in products such as precision
thermometers, blood analyzers, and automatic test equipment. Certain of
Analogic's digital panel instruments incorporate specialized signal
conditioning and computing capabilities, and can transmit the measured
value in digital form to remote displays or to computers. The Company's
Monitroller line of products extends this capability still further by
functioning as single loop process controllers.
Industrial digitizing systems condition analog signals, translate them
to digital form with a high degree of precision, and perform subsequent
computations and calculations. These instruments are available as complete
standard instruments or are customized to particular applications for
incorporation into customers' products. Typical applications for these
systems are in static and dynamic weighing, measurement of pressure, force
or temperature, and engine power measurement as well as factory-wide
Distributed Control Systems.
Analogic's products also include a large number of standard and
customized A/D and D/A systems which can accept up to several thousand
channels of signals, perform precise signal conditioning, translate the
data into digital format and process the information via computer. Certain
of the customized subsystems include computing or computer-interfacing
sub-units.
The Company manufactures complete data acquisition and conversion systems
used in a wide variety of industrial applications from process control to
emergency recording systems used in nuclear power plants. Also, a family
of high speed, 16-bit, multichannel data acquisition boards has been
designed to meet the stringent demands of fast and accurate measurements in
precision instrumentation environments.
Incorporating much of the same technology as the Company's medical
equipment, our sophisticated test instruments include general purpose
digital multimeters, which measure the basic parameters as voltage, current
and resistance, as well as temperature and frequency. The Company's
universal waveform analyzer line combines the features of a digital storage
oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, array processor, and computer. The
Company is also a supplier of power supply test systems, static and dynamic
loads, and AC sources used for testing power supplies and other power
devices.
Original equipment manufacturers (OEM) purchase the Company's standard
A/D, D/A and digital signal processing products for specific production
testing of telecommunications equipment. The Company also manufactures a
line of high performance digital signal processor (DSP) boards used in the
telephony industry.
Hotel Operation
The Company owns a hotel which is located adjacent to the Company's
principal executive offices and manufacturing facility in Peabody,
Massachusetts. The hotel is strategically situated in an industrial park,
is in close proximity to the historic and tourist attracted area of
Boston's North Shore and is approximately 18 miles from Boston. The hotel
has 256 rooms, a ballroom and several other function rooms and appropriate
recreational facilities. The hotel is managed for the Company under a
contract with Marriott Corporation. The hotel operation does not meet the
criteria for disclosure as a separate business segment, but is being
presented here only for information purposes.
Marketing and Distribution
The Company sells its products domestically and abroad directly through
the efforts of its officers and employees and through a network of
independent sales representatives and distributors located in principal
cities around the world. In addition, Analogic subsidiaries act as its
distributors in England and Denmark. Domestically, Analogic has several
regional sales offices staffed by salespeople who sell the Company's
products in the surrounding areas and supervise independent sales
representatives and distributors in their regions. Some of Analogic's
distributors also represent manufacturers of competing products.
Sources of Components/Raw Materials
In general, Analogic's products are composed of company-designed
proprietary integrated circuits, printed circuit boards, and precision
resistor networks, all manufactured by others in accordance with Analogic's
specifications, as well as standard electronic integrated circuits,
transistors, displays and other components. Most items procured are
believed to be available from more than one source. However, it may be
necessary, if a given component ceases to be available, for Analogic to
incur additional expense in order to modify its product design to adapt to
a substitute component or to purchase new tooling to enable a new supplier
to manufacture the component. Also, from time to time the availability of
certain electronic components has been disrupted. Accordingly, Analogic
carries a substantial inventory of raw material components in an effort to
assure its ability to make timely delivery to its customers.
Patents and Licenses
The Company owns, or is licensee of, a number of patents of varying
durations. In the opinion of management, Analogic's present position and
its future prospects are a function of the level of excellence and
creativity of its engineers; patent protection is useful but of secondary
importance. Management is of the opinion that the loss of patent
protection would not have a material effect on the Company's competitive
position.
Seasonal Aspect of Business
There is no material seasonal element to the Company's business, although
plant closings in the summer, particularly in Europe, tend to decrease the
activity of certain buying sources during the first quarter of the
Company's fiscal year.
Working Capital Matters
The Company does not carry a substantial inventory of finished goods but
does carry a substantial inventory of raw material components and
work-in-process to enable it to meet its customers' delivery requirements.
(See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
Material Customers
The Company's three largest customers, each of which is a significant and
valued customer, were Philips, General Electric, and Imation, which
accounted for approximately 16.1%, 7.7%, and 7.2%, respectively, of
product, service, engineering, and licensing revenue for the fiscal year
ended July 31, 1998. Loss of any one of these customers would have a
material adverse effect upon the Company's business. The Company does
business with Philips through several of the Company's Product Groups and
Subsidiaries principally through normal OEM contracts, with the Company and
Philips jointly funding research and development of some products to be
manufactured by Analogic for Philips. No other customer accounted for as
much as 7.2% of the Company's product, service, engineering, and licensing
revenue during fiscal 1998. The Company's ten largest customers, including
Philips, General Electric and Imation, accounted for approximately 56% of
product, service, engineering, and licensing revenue during fiscal 1998.
Backlog
The backlog of orders believed to be firm at July 31, 1998 was
approximately $63.8 million compared with approximately $74.3 million at
July 31, 1997. This decrease is principally related to shorter release
times for Medical Technology Products. Many of the orders in the Company's
backlog permit cancellation by the customer under certain circumstances.
To date, Analogic has not experienced material cancellation of orders. The
Company reasonably expects to ship most of its July 31, 1998 backlog during
fiscal 1999.
Government Contracts
The amount of the Company's business that may be subject to renegotiation
of profits or termination of contracts or subcontracts at the election of
the Government is insignificant.
Competition
Analogic is subject to competition based upon product design,
performance, pricing, quality and service. Analogic believes that its
innovative engineering and product reliability have been important factors
in its growth. While the Company tries to maintain competitive pricing on
those products which are directly comparable to products manufactured by
others, in many instances Analogic's products will conform to more exacting
specifications and carry a higher price than analogous products
manufactured by others.
Analogic's medical X-ray imaging systems are sufficiently specialized so
that Analogic is not aware of products marketed by others which may be
deemed directly competitive. The Company considers its selection by its
OEM customers for design and manufacture of these products and its other
medical products to be much less a function of other competitors in the
field than it is of the "make-or-buy" decision of the individual customers.
Many OEM customers and potential OEM customers of the Company have the
capacity to design and manufacture these products for themselves. In the
Company's area of expertise, the continued signing of new contracts
indicates continued strength in the Company's relationship with its major
customers, although some of these customers continue to commit to shorter
term contracts.
Analogic's competitors include divisions of some larger, more
diversified organizations, as well as several specialized companies. Some
of them have greater resources and larger staffs than Analogic. The
Company believes that, measured by total sales dollars, it is a leading
manufacturer of CAT scanner and MRI electronic sub-systems and industrial
digitizing systems for the weighing industry.
Research and Product Development
Research and product development is a significant factor in Analogic's
business. The Company maintains a constant and comprehensive research and
development program directed toward the creation of new products as well as
toward the improvement and refinement of its present products and the
expansion of their uses and applications.
Company funds expended for research and product development amounted to
approximately $36,177,000 in fiscal 1998, $33,948,000 in fiscal 1997, and
$29,017,000 in fiscal 1996. Analogic intends to continue its emphasis on
new product development. As of July 31, 1998, Analogic had approximately
465 employees, including electronic development engineers, software
engineers, physicists, mathematicians, and technicians engaged in research
and product development activities. These individuals, in conjunction with
the Company's salespeople, also devote a portion of their time assisting
customers in utilizing the Company's products, developing new uses for
these products, and anticipating customer requirements for new products.
During fiscal 1998, the Company capitalized $1,658,000 of computer
software testing and coding costs incurred after technological feasibility
was established. These costs will be amortized by the straight line method
over the estimated economic life of the related products, not to exceed
three years. Amortization of capitalized software amounted to $2,406,000
in fiscal 1998.
Environmental Protection
The Company does not anticipate any material effect upon its capital
expenditures, earnings or competitive position resulting from compliance by
it and its subsidiaries with presently enacted or adopted Federal, State
and local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the
environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment.
Employees
As of July 31, 1998, the Company had approximately 1,650 employees.
Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export
Revenue
Product, service, engineering, and licensing export revenue from
companies, primarily in Europe and Asia, amounted to approximately
$92,292,000 (33%) in fiscal 1998 as compared to approximately $81,395,000
(34%) in fiscal 1997, and approximately $77,600,000 (36%) in fiscal 1996.
Management believes that the Company's export revenue is at least as
profitable as its domestic revenue. Most of the Company's foreign revenue
is export revenue denominated in U.S. dollars. Management does not believe
the Company's foreign export revenue is subject to significantly greater
risks than its domestic revenue. It is possible that the current crisis in
Asia and South America might have an adverse affect on our customers' sales
and therefore have a reciprocal affect on the Company's export revenue.
See Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further
information regarding foreign and domestic operations.
Item 2. Properties
Analogic's principal executive offices and major manufacturing facility
are located in a building, owned by the Company, which it constructed on
its site in Peabody, Massachusetts (a suburb of Boston). This facility
consists of approximately 404,000 square feet of manufacturing,
engineering, and office space. The Company owns approximately 65 acres of
land at this location, which will accommodate future consolidation and

B - K with six months notice.
On August 25, 1993 the Company purchased a modern two-story building
containing approximately 49,000 square feet of manufacturing and office
space in Peabody, Massachusetts, adjacent to the Company's principal
executive offices. This building is presently leased to an unrelated party
for a term of five years expiring September 30, 2002.
See Item 13 of this Report and Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for further information concerning certain of the
aforesaid leases.
Analogic and its subsidiaries lease various other facilities used for
sales and service purposes. The Company does not consider any of these
leases to be material.
Analogic owns substantially all of the machinery and equipment used in
its business. Management considers that the Company's plant and equipment
are in good condition and are adequate for its current needs.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Fiscal 1998 Compared to Fiscal 1997
Product, service, engineering, and licensing revenues for fiscal 1998 were
$276,562,000 as compared to $239,550,000 for fiscal 1997, an increase of
15%. The increase of $37,012,000 was principally due to increased sales
of Medical Technology Products of $30,060,000 (primarily due to the
continued and strengthening demand for Digital Laser Imaging Systems,
Magnetic Resonance Imaging products, and new products such as the Digital
Ultrasound Subsystems and Ultrasound Systems from the Company's Danish
subsidiary, B-K), Signal Processing Technology Products of $4,532,000
(primarily due to the Company entering a new and growing market for DSP
resource boards for Computer Telephony Integration applications, such as
automated directory assistance and for voice over the internet), and
Industrial Technology Products of $2,420,000 (primarily due to increased
demand of the Company's high frequency ATE boards). Other operating
revenue of $12,036,000 and $11,591,000 represents revenue from the Hotel
operation for fiscal 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The percentage of total cost of sales to total net sales for fiscal 1998
and 1997 was 60% and 59%, respectively. Operating costs associated with
the Hotel for fiscal years 1998 and 1997 were $6,091,000 and $5,959,000,
respectively.
General and administrative and selling expenses increased $2,619,000,
primarily due to increases in the bad debt reserve and legal expenditures
related to patent filings. Research and product development expenses
increased $2,229,000 primarily due to the Company's expanding engineering
efforts applicable to developing complex imaging systems, such as the new
Digital Ultrasound Subsystems and the Ultrasound Systems for the Company's
Danish subsidiary, B - K.
Computer software costs of $1,658,000 and $1,480,000 were capitalized in
fiscal 1998 and 1997, respectively. Amortization of capitalized software
amounted to $2,406,000 and $3,115,000 in fiscal 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
A gain of foreign exchange of $1,045,000 was realized during 1997 versus a
loss of $4,000 for fiscal 1998.
The Company's share of losses of a privately held company amount to
$3,488,000 and $1,949,000 during fiscal 1998 and 1997, respectively. (See
Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
The amortization of excess of fair value of net assets over cost acquired
from B - K was $335,000 and $645,000 in fiscal 1998 and 1997, respectively.
During fiscal 1998, the Company's investment in another privately held
company was increased by $447,000, reflecting the Company's share of its
equity.
Fiscal 1998 Compared to Fiscal 1997 (continued)
During fiscal 1998, the Company's investment in Analogic Scientific was
decreased by $575,000 reflecting the Company's share of Analogic
Scientific's equity. (See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.)
During fiscal 1998, the Company recorded a reserve of $400,000, reflecting
a partial impairment of its 19% investment in another privately held
company.
During fiscal 1998, the Company sold 140,560 common shares of a publicly
traded company, resulting in a gain of $997,000. (See Note 5 of Notes to
Consolidated Statements.)
Minority interest in the net income of the Company's consolidated
subsidiary, Camtronics, for fiscal 1998 amounted to $1,098,000 compared to
$1,270,000 for fiscal 1997. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, the
Company purchased from one of the founders of Camtronics his entire equity
interest in Camtronics for $1,600,000. After this transaction, the
Company's share in Camtronics increased to approximately 77%. (See Note 2
of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
The effective tax rate for fiscal 1998 was 32% vs. 24% for fiscal 1997.
This increase was primarily due to alternative minimum tax credit
carryforwards utilized in fiscal 1997 not available in fiscal 1998 (See
Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) .
Net income for fiscal 1998 was $23,888,000, as compared to net income of
$20,090,000 for the same period last year. Basic per-share earnings, or
net income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding, were
$1.89, up from $1.60. Diluted per-share earnings, or net income divided by
weighted average common shares and potential new shares from stock options,
also increased to $1.87, up from $1.58. Prior periods per share amounts
have been restated to reflect the adoption of FASB No. 128 (See Notes 1(e),
1(l) & 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
Fiscal 1997 Compared to Fiscal 1996
Product, service, engineering, and licensing revenues for fiscal 1997 were
$239,550,000 as compared to $213,781,000 for fiscal 1996, an increase of
12%. The increase of $25,769,000 was principally due to an increase in
sales of Medical Technology Products of $24,101,000 (primarily due to sales
of the new Computed Tomography (CT) Scanner and the Archium Cardiac Digital
Archive System), and Signal Processing Technology Products of $4,099,000
offset by a reduction in Industrial Technology Products of $2,431,000.
Other operating revenue of $11,591,000 and $10,528,000 represents revenue
from the Hotel operation for fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Interest and dividend income decreased primarily due to a dividend
distribution received from a limited partnership in fiscal 1996 and no
dividend distribution was received in fiscal 1997 from the limited
partnership. (See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
The percentage of total cost of sales to total net sales for fiscal 1997
and 1996 was 59% and 62%, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to
an 12% increase in sales, diminished start up manufacturing costs
associated with the new CT scanner and a favorable product mix. Operating
costs associated with the Hotel for fiscal years 1997 and 1996 were
$5,959,000 and $5,627,000, respectively.
General and administrative and selling expenses decreased $2,137,000,
primarily due to a cost reduction program in the Company's Danish
subsidiary along with lower staffing requirements within the Company's
domestic operations. Research and product development expenses increased
$4,931,000 primarily due to the expanding effort applicable to developing
complex medical imaging systems and increased amortization of capitalized
computer software costs.
Computer software costs of $1,480,000 and $1,985,000 were capitalized in
fiscal 1997 and 1996 respectively. Amortization of capitalized software
amounted to $3,115,000 and $2,325,000 in fiscal 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
Gain on foreign exchange for fiscal 1997 amounted to $1,045,000, compared
to $524,000 for fiscal 1996, primarily from the Company's subsidiary in
Denmark.
The amortization of the excess of cost over fair value of net assets
acquired from Camtronics was $85,000 and $127,000 in fiscal 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The amortization of the excess of cost over fair value of
net assets acquired from SKY was $119,000 and $179,000 in fiscal 1997 and
1996, respectively.
The amortization of excess of fair value of net assets over cost acquired
from B - K was $645,000 and $542,000 in fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The Company's share of losses of a privately held company amounted to
$1,949,000 and $821,000 in fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1996, respectively.
During fiscal 1997, the Company's investment in Analogic Scientific was
decreased by $425,000 reflecting the Company's share of Analogic
Scientific's loss.
Fiscal 1997 Compared to Fiscal 1996 (continued)
Fiscal 1997 includes a $1,742,000 charge resulting from the write off of
the Company's investment in Park Meditech, Inc. (See Note 5 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.)
Minority interest in the net income of the Company's consolidated
subsidiary, Camtronics, in fiscal 1997 and 1996 amounted to $1,270,000 and
$224,000, respectively.
Minority interest in the net loss of the Company's consolidated foreign
subsidiary, B - K, in fiscal 1996 was $1,370,000. As of July 1, 1996 the
Company purchased the remaining 41% of minority interest in B - K.
The effective tax rate for fiscal 1997 was 24% vs. 26% for fiscal 1996.
This change was primarily a result of the increase in the utilization of
tax credits.
Net income for fiscal 1997 was $20,090,000, as compared with $13,065,000
for fiscal 1996. Basic per-share earnings were $1.60 for fiscal 1997, up
from $1.05 for fiscal 1996. Diluted per-share earnings were $1.58 for
fiscal 1997, up from $1.04 for fiscal 1996.
Financial Position
The Company's balance sheet at July 31, 1998, reflects a current ratio of
6.5 to 1, compared to 6.2 to 1 at July 31, 1997. Cash, cash equivalents
and marketable securities, along with accounts and notes receivable,
constitute approximately 74% of current assets at July 31, 1998. Liquidity
is sustained principally through funds provided from operations, with
short-term time deposits and marketable securities available to provide
additional sources of cash. The Company places its cash investments in
high credit quality financial instruments and, by policy, limits the amount
of credit exposure to any one financial institution. Management does not
anticipate any difficulties in financing operations at anticipated levels.
The Company's debt to equity ratio was .21 to 1 at July 31, 1998 compared
to .24 to 1 at July 31, 1997.
In fiscal 1998 funds provided from operations amounted to $27,593,000. Net
income of $23,888,000 and depreciation & amortization of $10,651,000 were
the major contributors. Increases in Accounts and Notes Receivable of
$3,281,000 and inventory of $7,116,000 were the major use of operating
cash.
The following investing activities resulted in a decrease of cash of
$23,267,000. During 1998 the Company invested $3,340,000 in a privately
held company which designs and manufactures medical imaging equipment.
Capital expenditures for fiscal 1998 amounted to $14,598,000 and
capitalized computer software cost were $1,658,000. The Company also made
an additional investment of $4,717,000 in marketable securities net of
maturities. Proceeds from the sale of marketable securities amounted to
$997,000.
The following finance activities resulted in a net reduction of cash in the
amount of $1,880,000. Dividends paid to shareholders during the fiscal
year amounted to $2,902,000. Cash flows from financing activities were
decreased by the purchase of stock of Camtronics in the amount of
$1,600,000 which was offset by the proceeds from stock options exercised in
the amount of $863,000 and proceeds from Camtronics unsecured bank line of
credit of $2,600,000.
Total investments in and advances to affiliated companies decreased
$723,000. This decrease is due to the Company's share of equity losses
from a privately held company in the amount of $3,488,000 and Analogic
Scientific of $575,000 offset by an additional investment of $3,340,000 in
the privately held company.
Notes Payable increased by $2,256,000 to $8,933,000 at the end of fiscal
1998 primarily due to borrowing against a line of credit by Camtronics.
Minority Interest in Consolidated Subsidiaries increased $1,098,000. This
represents the minority interest in Camtronics.
The Company's three largest customers, each of which is a significant and
valued customer, were Philips, G.E. and Imation Corp., which accounted for
approximately 16.1%, 7.7%, and 7.2%, respectively, of product, service,
engineering, and licensing revenue for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1998.
Loss of any one of these customers would have a material adverse effect
upon the Company's business.
Financial Position (continued)
As part of a stock repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors,
the Company purchased 17,500 shares of common stock for its treasury during
fiscal 1996 at an aggregate cost of $345,000. No shares were repurchased
during fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1997.
Impact of Inflation
Overall, inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's
operations during the past three fiscal years.
Accounting Standards
In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 130 (SFAS 130), Reporting
Comprehensive Income, and Statement No. 131 (SFAS 131), Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. The Company is required
to adopt these Statements in fiscal 1999. SFAS 130 establishes new
standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its
components. SFAS 131 requires disclosure of certain information regarding
operating segments, products and services, geographic areas of operation
and major customers and adoption of these Statements is expected to have
no impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of
operations, or business practices. The disclosure requirements are being
reviewed.
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities", which establishes a new model of
accounting for derivative and hedging activities and supersedes and amends
a number of existing standards. The provisions of SFAS 133 are effective
for all fiscal quarters of years beginning after June 15, 1999. The
Company believes that this statement will not have an impact on the
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, as the Company
does not hold any derivative instruments or engage in hedging activities at
the present time.
The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four digits to define the applicable year. Computer
programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00"
as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. If the Company's internal
systems do not correctly recognize date information when the year changes
to 2000, there could be an adverse impact on the Company's operations.
The Company has undertaken considerable effort to assess the impact and
necessary resources required to make its systems Year 2000 compliant.
Currently, the Company is utilizing both internal and external resources to
upgrade its computer hardware and software systems. The Company is also
identifying and implementing changes to other information systems which are
not being replaced in order to make them Year 2000 compliant.
The Company is also assessing the possible effects of Year 2000 issues on
its significant vendors and customers, which could in turn affect the
Company's operations. The Company has not yet been able to determine,
however, whether any of its suppliers or service providers will need to
make any such software modifications or replacements or whether the failure
to make such software corrections will have an adverse effect on the
Company's operations or financial condition.
Financial Position (continued)
The Company currently estimates that Year 2000 costs over the next two
fiscal years will range from $4.0 million to $6.0 million. The estimated
costs are based on management's best projections, yet there can be no
guarantee that these forecasts will be achieved and actual results could
differ materially from those anticipated. The cost of the project will be
funded through operating cash flows.

___________________________________
(A) Represents stock grants under the Company's Key Employee Stock Bonus Plan
dated March 14, 1983, as amended and restated on January 27, 1988, pursuant
to which Common Stock of the Company may be granted to key employees to
encourage them to exert their best efforts on behalf of the Company. Each
Recipient of the Common Stock pursuant to the Bonus Plan is required to
execute a noncompetition agreement in a form satisfactory to the Company.
The Bonus Plan is administered by a committee appointed by the Board of
Directors consisting of the Chairman of the Board and three other Directors
who are not eligible to participate in the Bonus Plan. Generally, the
Common Stock granted pursuant to the Bonus Plan is not transferable for a
period of three years from the date of the grant and is subject to a risk
of forfeiture in the event that the recipient leaves the employ of the
Company during this period for any reason. Generally, during the
subsequent four-year period, the transfer restrictions will lapse with
respect to 25% of the Common Stock for each year the recipient remains in
the employ of the Company. Failure to remain in the Company's employ
during all of the subsequent four-year period will result in a forfeiture
of shares as to which restrictions on disposition still exist. The Common
Stock granted pursuant to the Bonus Plan is held in escrow by the Company
until such restrictions on disposition lapse. However, while in escrow, the
recipient has the right to vote such shares of Common Stock and to receive
any cash dividends thereon. The Board of Directors, acting upon the
recommendation of the Stock Bonus Plan Committee, may at the time of grant
designate a different schedule upon which the transfer restrictions lapse.
(B) As of July 31, 1998, the following table reflects aggregate stock bonus
awards, granted in 1993, for which transfer restrictions have not yet lapsed:

___________________________________
(A) The value realized or the unrealized value of in-the-money options at
year-end represents the aggregate difference between the market value on
the date of grant and, either the market value on the date of exercise or, in
the case of unrealized value, the market value at July 31, 1998.
(B) "In-the-money" options are options whose exercise price was less than the
market price of Common Shares at July 31, 1998.
Compensation of Directors
Each director who is not an employee of the Company is entitled to an annual
fee of $10,000 plus a fee of $1,000 per meeting for each of the first four
meetings of the Board or any Board Committee attended by him, together with
reimbursement of travel expenses under certain circumstances.
In February 1988, the Board of Directors adopted and stockholders approved
at the January 1989 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the 1988 Non-Qualified Stock
Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "1988 Plan"). Pursuant to the 1988
Plan, options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock may be granted only to
directors of the Company or any subsidiary who are not otherwise employees of
the Company or any subsidiary. The exercise price of options granted under the
1988 Plan is the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.
The 1988 Plan provides that each Non-Employee Director as of the date on which
the Board of Directors adopted the 1988 Plan shall be granted an option to
acquire 5,000 shares. Each new Non-Employee director who is subsequently
elected to the Board of Directors shall be granted an option to acquire 5,000
shares after one year of service. In June 1996, the Board of Directors amended
the 1988 Plan to increase the number of options that could be granted to each
Non-Employee director to 10,000 shares.
In June 1996, the Board of Directors adopted and stockholders approved at
the January 1997 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the 1997 Non-Qualified Stock
Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "1997 Plan"). Pursuant to the 1997
Plan, options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock may be granted only to
directors of the Company or any subsidiary who are not otherwise employees of
the Company or any subsidiary. The exercise price of options granted under the
1997 Plan is the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.
The 1997 Plan provides each new Non-Employee Director who is elected to the
Board shall be granted an option to acquire 5,000 shares, effective as of the
date he or she is first elected to the Board; provided, however, that upon such
first election, a new Non-Employee Director shall not receive a grant under both
this Plan and the 1988 Plan.
The Board of Directors shall determine under which Plans grants shall be
made. Every four (4) years from the date on which a Non-Employee Director was
last granted a Non-Employee Director option, whether under either Plan, that
Non-Employee Director shall be granted an option to acquire 5,000 shares,
effective as of the date of that fourth anniversary. No options were
granted under the 1997 Plan as of July 31, 1998.
Options granted under both Plans are exercisable for a nine-year period
commencing one year after the date of grant. During that exercise period,
subject to the occurrence of certain events, options may be exercised only to

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
(a) Mr. Bernard M. Gordon owns a 48% interest and Mr. Bernard L. Friedman,
the Company's former Vice Chairman of the Board (Mr. Friedman resigned on
July 31, 1993), owns a 52% interest in a limited partnership (Audubon
Realty), which owns the Danvers, Massachusetts facilities leased by the
Company for a term to July 31, 2001. These facilities include a 50,000
square foot building completed in 1978; a 40,000 square foot addition to
that building, completed in 1982; and an 80,000 square foot building which
the Company moved into during 1980. The fixed annual rent on the entire
170,000 square feet was increased from $1,125,000 to $1,164,000 effective
March 1, 1998, and shall be adjusted as of March 1 every third year to
reflect increases in the cost of living. A total of 155,000 square feet of
the facilities are sublet on a self-renewing lease to Siemens Medical
Electronics, Inc. for a term which as presently extended will end on
December 1, 2000, subject to an eighteen-month notice of cancellation, on a
triple-net basis.
Mr. Gordon owns a 48% interest and Mr. Friedman owns a 52% interest in
a limited partnership which owns the facility located at 360 Audubon Road,
Wakefield, Massachusetts, which is leased by the Company for a term to July
31, 2003. This facility has been utilized by the Company for manufacturing
and office space since May 1, 1981. The fixed annual rent for this
facility was increased from $315,000 to $333,000 effective May 1, 1996, and
shall be adjusted as of May 1 every third year to reflect increases in the
cost of living.
All of the foregoing rents are on a net lease basis, and accordingly
the Company pays, in addition to the above rental payments, all taxes,
maintenance, insurance, and other costs relating to the leased premises.
The terms of the several lease agreements, at the time they were
executed, were at least as favorable as those that could have been obtained
from unaffiliated third parties. Prior to execution of each such lease,
two independent appraisals were obtained in order to establish the fair
market rate for subject premises. A rent, in each case discounted below
the fair market rate established by the appraisals, was then agreed upon by
the parties.
The leases each incorporated periodic rent escalation clauses, based
upon the CPI. At the present time, the rents that the Company is paying
under the several leases reflect fair rental value for the properties.
See Item 2 of this Report for information as to the character of the
leased premises, and Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for further information as to the leases.
Bernard M. Gordon, Chairman of Analogic, personally owns 72% of the
outstanding stock of UltraAnalog, Inc., which he acquired on October 2,
1989. UltraAnalog is a manufacturer of analog-to-digital and
digital-to-analog converters, located in Fremont, California. Analogic has
the irrevocable right to acquire Mr. Gordon's interest at his cost.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
Board of Directors
Analogic Corporation
Peabody, Massachusetts
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index
appearing under Item 14(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Analogic Corporation and its subsidiaries at July 31,
1998 and 1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 1998, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our
opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing
under Item 14(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related
consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and
financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.

1. Summary of business operations and significant accounting policies:
Business operations:
The Company's operations consist of the design, manufacture and sale of
high-technology, high-precision analog/digital signal processing
instruments and systems to customers in the medical and industrial
industry.
Product, service, engineering and licensing export revenue, primarily
from customers in Europe and Asia, amounted to approximately $92,292,000
or 33%, $81,395,000 or 34%, and $77,600,000 or 36% of total product,
service, engineering and licensing revenue for the years ended July 31,
1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Significant accounting policies are as follows:
(a) Principles of consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company, all wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries.
Investments in companies in which ownership interests range from 20
to 50 percent and the Company exercises significant influence over
operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity
method. Other investments are accounted for using the cost method.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.
(b) Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined on a first-in, first-out basis.
(c) Property, plant and equipment:
For financial reporting purposes, depreciation and amortization
are provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets or lease terms, whichever is shorter,
and are computed principally utilizing accelerated methods for
income tax purposes. Property under capital leases is amortized
over the lease terms.
The annual provisions for depreciation and amortization have been
computed in accordance with the following ranges of estimated
useful lives:
Buildings 35 years
Property under capital lease 14 to 23 years
Manufacturing equipment 4 to 7 years
Furniture and fixtures 4 to 8 years
Leasehold and capital lease improvements 3 to 10 years
Motor Vehicles 3 years

(d) Revenue recognition:
Revenues are recognized when a product is shipped or a service is
performed. For certain transactions, at the request of the customer
and upon completion of the manufacturing process and acceptance of
title by the customer, the Company stores inventory pending
shipping instructions and recognizes revenue. Accounts receivables
related to such sales were approximately $668,000 and $4,684,000 at
July 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
(e) Capitalized software costs:
The Company capitalizes certain computer software costs, after
technological feasability has been established, which are
amortized utilizing the straight-line method over the economic
lives of the related products not to exceed three years.
Accumulated amortization approximated $15,127,000 and $12,721,000
at July 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
(f) Warranty costs:
The Company provides for estimated warranty costs as products are
shipped.
(g) Income taxes:
The Company does not provide for U.S. Federal income taxes on
undistributed earnings of consolidated foreign subsidiaries as such
earnings are intended to be permanently reinvested in those
operations.
(h) Earnings per share:
Basic per-share earnings is based upon the weighted average
common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted per-share
earnings is based upon the weighted average common shares and
potential new shares from stock options. The number of shares
utilized in the basic per-share computations were 12,614,303,
12,553,628 and 12,454,728 in fiscal 1998, 1997 and 1996. The
number of shares utilized in the diluted per-share computations are
12,793,027, 12,701,800, and 12,562,175, in fiscal 1998, 1997, and
1996, respectively.
(i) Cash and cash equivalents:
The Company considers all short-term deposits with an original
maturity of three months or less at acquisition date to be cash
equivalents. Cash equivalents amounted to approximately
$28,684,000 and $23,956,000 at July 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

1.Summary of business operations and significant accounting policies:
(continued)
(j) Concentration of credit risk:
The Company grants credit to domestic and foreign original
equipment manufacturers, distributors and end users. The Company
places its cash investments in high credit quality financial
instruments and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to
any one financial institution.
(k) Marketable securities:
The Company's marketable securities are categorized as available-
for-sale securities, as defined by the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities." Unrealized holding gains and
losses are reflected as a net amount in a separate component of
stockholders' equity until realized. For the purpose of computing
realized gains and losses cost is identified on a specific
identification basis.
(l) Accounting Standards:
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income," and Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information," will be adopted in
fiscal 1999. SFAS 130 establishes new standards for reporting and
displaying comprehensive income and its components. SFAS 131
requires disclosure of certain information regarding operating
segments, products and services, geographic areas of operation and
major customers and adoption of these Statements is expected to
have no impact on the Company's consolidated financial position,
results of operations, or business practices. The disclosure
requirements are being reviewed.
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which establishes a
new model of accounting for derivative and hedging activities and
supersedes and amends a number of existing standards. The
provisions of SFAS 133 are effective for all fiscal quarters of
years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company believes that
this statement will not have an impact on the financial position,
results of operations, or cash flows, as the Company does not hold
any derivative instruments or engage in hedging activities at the
present time.
(m) Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

2. Business combinations:
The Company's subsidiary, Camtronics, has entered into an agreement with
the three founding stockholders ("Founders") who are also active
employees of Camtronics. The agreement requires Camtronics to purchase
up to 5% of the shares of common stock originally issued to the Founders
at their option during each fiscal year beginning in 1992 pursuant to a
predetermined formula. If a Founder does not exercise his right to
cause Camtronics to purchase his outstanding shares, such rights shall
not lapse, but shall be cumulative and may be exercised thereafter. The
Company's ownership of Camtronics increased from approximately 65% in
fiscal 1992 to approximately 77% in fiscal 1998, as a result of the
Founders exercising their rights to sell 5% of their shares during this
period, and in addition during May 1998, the Company purchased from one
of the founders of Camtronics his entire equity interest in Camtronics
for $1,600,000. The carrying value of the Company's total investment in
Camtronics exceeded its portion of underlying equity in net assets by
approximately $1,453,000. This excess is being amortized over a 10 year
period. Accumulated amortization amounted to $1,453,000 and $1,282,000
as of July 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
As of January 1, 1993, the Company acquired an interest of approximately
57% in a newly-formed company, B - K Ultrasound Systems A/S ("B - K"),
for $3,607,000 in cash and a subordinated interest free short-term
loan of $3,500,000 which was converted into equity on July 31, 1993.
The Company's ownership interest was adjusted upward to 59% in
fiscal 1994 in accordance with the shareholders' agreement. B - K, a
Danish Corporation, is primarily engaged in the design and manufacture
of ultrasound imaging devices used in urology and various sonographic
techniques. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and B - K's
operations have been included in the Company's consolidated financial
statements since January 1, 1993. The Company's equity in net assets of
B - K exceeded the purchase price by approximately $2,662,000. This
excess of acquired net assets over cost was amortized over a 5 year
period beginning in January, 1993. Accumulated amortization amounted
to $2,662,000 and $2,441,000 as of July 31, 1998 and1997, respectively.
As of July 1, 1996, the Company acquired the remaining 41% interest in
B - K for $3,416,000 in cash. The Company's equity in net assets of
B - K exceeded the purchase price for this portion of the investment by
approximately $565,000. This excess is being amortized over a five year
period beginning July 1, 1996. Accumulated amortization amounted to
$236,000 and $123,000 as of July 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

5. Investments in and advances to affiliated companies:
The Company owns 50% of Analogic Scientific, Inc. ("Scientific"), a joint
venture corporation with Kejian Corporation of The People's Republic of
China. The Company's original investment of $1,500,000 has been accounted
for using the equity method of accounting. The Company's share of
Scientific's loss amounted to $575,000 in fiscal 1998 and $425,000 in
fiscal year 1997. The Company did not report any income or loss in fiscal
year 1996 related to this investment. During fiscal 1996 the Company
invested an additional $500,000 in Scientific. The carrying value of this
investment was $5,200,000 at July 31, 1998 and $5,775,000 at July 31, 1997.
Transactions with Scientific for fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996 consisted
of revenues of approximately $1,116,000, $526,000 and $735,000,
respectively. At July 31, 1998 and 1997, accounts receivable from this
affiliate were $977,000 and $668,000, respectively.
On February 13, 1996, the Company acquired 1,715,384 shares of Park Meditech
Inc. Common Stock and an 11% Convertible Unsecured Subordinated Debenture in
the principal amount of $750,000 in consideration of the cancellation of the
Convertible Subordinated Promissory Note in the amount of $1,500,000 and
200,000 Common Share purchase warrants. With certain restrictions, the
Convertible Unsecured Subordinated Debenture could be converted into Common
Shares at a price of $1.20 (Canadian) per Common Share. The Company loaned
Park Meditech, Inc. $221,000 in December 1996, and an additional $294,000 in
February, 1997, both of which were structured as promissory notes with
interest at 11% secured by all of the assets of Park Meditech, Inc.. The
debenture and both promissory notes have been written off in fiscal 1998.
On July 3, 1997 Park Meditech, Inc's subsidary, Park Medical Systems, filed
for assignment in bankruptcy. A trustee was appointed to sell the assets of
Park Medical Systems, which includes patents on imaging technology. In view
of this filing, the Company recognized the impairment of its investment in
Park Meditech, Inc. and wrote off the remaining carrying value of
$1,742,000 in Fiscal 1997.
On February 22, 1996, the Company invested $2,000,000 for a 33% interest in a
privately held company which designs and will manufacture medical imaging
equipment. Effective May 1, 1997, the Company increased its interest from 33%
to 50% with an investment of $340,000. In June, 1997 the Company and the
other investor each invested an additional $1,000,000. During fiscal year
1998, the Company and the other investor each invested $3,340,000. The
carrying value of this investment was $422,000 at July 31, 1998 and $570,000
at July 31, 1997. Transactions with this privately held company for fiscal
years 1998 and 1997 consisted of revenues of approximately $8,678,000 and
$5,406,000, respectively. At July 31, 1998 and 1997, accounts receivable
from this company were $1,582,000 and $1,243,000, respectively.
The Company's $750,000 investment in a limited partnership is accounted for
using the cost method, as the Company is a limited partner, and accordingly,
has no influence over the partnership. During fiscal 1998, the Company
received a distribution of stock in a publicly traded company from the
limited partnership. The Company sold this stock for a gain of $997,000.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
8. Stock option and stock bonus plans: (continued)
Options granted under the five stock option plans become exercisable in
installments commencing no earlier than one year from the date of grant and
no later than five years from the date of grant. Options issued under the
plans are non-qualified options or incentive stock options and are issued at
prices of not less than 100% of the fair market value at the date of grant.
Tax benefits from early disposition of the stock by optionees under incentive
stock options, and from exercise of non-qualified options are credited to
capital in excess of par value.
Under the Company's key employee stock bonus plan, common stock may be
granted to key employees under terms and conditions as determined by the
Board of Directors. Generally, participants under the stock bonus plan may
not dispose or otherwise transfer stock granted for three years from date of
grant. Upon issuance of stock under the plan, unearned compensation
equivalent to the market value at the date of grant is charged to
stockholders' equity and subsequently amortized over the periods during which
the restrictions lapse (up to six years). Amortization of $538,000, $663,000
and $759,000 were recorded in fiscal 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Under the employee stock purchase plan, participants are granted options to
purchase the Company's common stock twice a year at the lower of 85% of
market value at the beginning or end of each period. Calculation of the
number of options granted, and subsequent purchase of these shares, is based
upon voluntary payroll deductions during each six month period. The number of
options granted to each employee under this plan, when combined with options
issued under other plans, is limited to a maximum outstanding fair market
value of $25,000 during each calendar year. The number of shares issued
pursuant to this plan totaled 6,007 in 1998, 5,671 in 1997, and 9,107 in
1996.
At July 31, 1998, 844,068 shares were reserved for grant under the above
stock option, bonus and purchase plans.

8. Stock option and stock bonus plans: (continued)
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-based Compensation" encourages, but does not require,
recognition of compensation expense based on the fair value of employee
stock-based compensation instruments. The Company has not adopted the fair
value method of accounting for employee stock-based compensation but will
instead comply with the pro forma disclosure requirements. The fair value
method of the Company's stock options was estimated using the Black-
Scholes option pricing model. This model was developed for use in
estimating fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions
and are fully transferable. This model requires the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility.
Because the Company's stock options have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in the
subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate,
in management's opinion, the existing model does not necessarily provide a
reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock options. The fair
value of the Company's stock options was estimated using the following
weighted-average assumptions:
1998 1997
Expected life (in years) 8 7
Volatility 38% 38%
Risk-free interest rate 5.78% 6.54%
Dividend yield .6% .5%
The weighted-average estimated fair value of stock options granted during
fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1997 was $19.71 and $15.30 per share, respectively.
For pro forma purposes, the estimated fair value of the Company's stock
options is amortized over the options' vesting period. The Company's pro
forma information is as follows:
Years Ended July 31, (in thousands, except per share amounts)
1998 1997
Net income
As reported $23,888 $20,090
Pro forma $23,521 $19,847
Net income per share
As reported - Basic $1.89 $1.60
Pro forma - Basic $1.86 $1.58
As reported - Diluted $1.87 $1.58
Pro forma - Diluted $1.84 $1.56
Because SFAS 123 is applicable only to options granted subsequent to July
31, 1995, its pro forma effect will not be fully reflected until
approximately 2000.

As previously reported during a routine audit, the Company was notified by
the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that it proposed to adjust the
Company's tax returns for the years 1990 through 1992 by increasing its
tax liability for those years by $2,837,473, $2,151,574 and $1,762,849,
respectively. The major claims relate to an alleged forgiveness of debt
arising from the acquisition of property from a subsidiary of the FDIC and
an alleged excess accumulation of earnings. During March 1998, the
Company received notice from the IRS which upheld the Company's position
and the proposed adjustments have been canceled.
Two of the Company's subsidiaries have elected to be taxed as Foreign
Sales Corporations (FSC).

16. Foreign Operations
Financial information relating to the Company's foreign and domestic
operations for fiscal years 1998, 1997, and 1996 are as follows:
FY 1998 Foreign Domestic Total
Revenue $30,192,000 $264,280,000 $294,472,000

Identifiable assets 23,891,000 241,271,000 265,162,000
17. Year 2000
The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits rather than four digits to define the applicable
year. Computer programs that have time-sensitive software may
recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year
2000. If the Company's internal systems do not correctly recognize
date information when the year changes to 2000, there could be an
adverse impact on the Company's operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
17. Year 2000: (continued)
The Company has undertaken considerable effort to assess the actions
and resources that will be required to make its systems Year 2000
compliant. Currently, the Company is utilizing both internal and
external resources to upgrade its computer hardware and software
systems. The Company is also identifying and implementing changes to
other information systems which are not being replaced in order to make
them Year 2000 compliant.
The Company is also assessing the possible effects of Year 2000 issues
on its significant vendors and customers, which could in turn affect
the Company's operations. The Company has not yet been able to
determine, however, whether any of its suppliers or service providers
will need to make any such software modifications or replacements or
whether the failure to make such software corrections will have an
adverse effect on the Company's operations or financial condition.
The Company currently estimates that Year 2000 costs over the next two
fiscal years will range from $4.0 million to $6.0 million. The
estimated costs are based on management's best projections, yet there
can be no guarantee that those forecasts will be achieved and actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated. The cost of
the project will be funded through operating cash flows.
