Item 1. Business
BACKGROUND
Herley is a leading supplier of microwave products and systems to defense and
aerospace entities worldwide. Our primary customers include large defense prime
contractors (including Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin and Boeing),
the U.S. government (including the Department of Defense, NASA and other U.S.
government agencies) and international customers (including the Egyptian,
German, Japanese and South Korean militaries and suppliers to international
militaries). We are a leading provider of microwave technologies for use in
command and control systems, flight instrumentation, weapons sensors and
electronic warfare systems. We have served the defense industry since 1965 by
designing and manufacturing microwave devices for use in high technology defense
electronics applications. Our products and systems are currently deployed on a
wide range of high profile military platforms, including the F-16 Falcon, the
F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, the RC-135 Rivet Joint, the E-2C Hawkeye, the AEGIS
class surface combatants, the EA-6B Prowler and unmanned aerial vehicles, or
UAVs, as well as high priority national security programs such as National
Missile Defense and the Trident II D-5.
ACQUISITIONS
We have grown through internal growth and strategic acquisitions over the past
ten years and have evolved from a component manufacturer to a systems and
service provider. We have successfully integrated these acquisitions by
targeting microwave technology companies and focusing their strengths into our
existing operations.
- - In September 1992, we acquired Micro-Dynamics, Inc. of Woburn, Massachusetts,
a microwave subsystem designer and manufacturer.
- - In June 1993, we acquired Vega Precision Laboratories, Inc. of Vienna,
Virginia, a manufacturer of flight instrumentation products.
1
- - In July 1995, we acquired Stewart Warner Electronics Corp. of Chicago,
Illinois, a manufacturer of high frequency radio and IFF interrogator systems.
- - In August 1997, we acquired Metraplex Corporation of Frederick, Maryland, a
manufacturer of airborne PCM and FM telemetry and data acquisition systems.
- - In January 1999, we acquired General Microwave Corporation of Farmingdale, New
York, a manufacturer of microwave components and electronic systems.
- - In January 2000, we acquired Robinson Laboratories, Inc. of Nashua, New
Hampshire, a designer, developer and manufacturer of microwave components and
assemblies primarily for defense applications.
- - In September 2000, we acquired American Microwave Technology, Inc. of Anaheim,
California, a manufacturer of high power, solid state amplifiers for the
scientific and medical markets, which enabled us to enter these markets.
- - In September 2002, we acquired EW Simulation Technology, Limited ("EWST"), a
British company of Aldershot, UK. EWST designs, develops and produces electronic
warfare simulator systems for prime defense contractors and countries worldwide.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
Our goal is to continue to leverage our proprietary technology, microwave
expertise and manufacturing capabilities to further expand our penetration in
our market. Our strategies to achieve our objectives include:
- - INCREASE LEVELS OF COMPONENT INTEGRATION AND VALUE ADDED CONTENT. Due to
growth of engineering expertise, new product development, and acquisitions, we
have increased our capability to provide more component integration. Management
believes component integration adds value and will enable us to increase content
in defense platforms and systems, thereby increasing our revenue and
profitability.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
We operate in two markets: defense electronics and commercial technologies.
DEFENSE ELECTRONICS
We are a leading supplier of microwave products and systems to defense and
aerospace entities worldwide. We design and manufacture microwave components and
subassemblies which are embedded in a variety of radars, flight instrumentation,
weapons sensors, electronic warfare systems and guidance systems. Our microwave
devices are used on our subassemblies and integrated systems (e.g. command and
control systems, telemetry systems, transponders, flight termination receivers
and identification friend or foe, or IFF, interrogators), in addition to being
sold on a component basis.
The following are descriptions of our major systems and products:
Telemetry Systems. Telemetry systems provide wireless data transmission between
two or more sites for recording and analysis. Missile, UAV, or target testing on
domestic and international test ranges requires flight safety and performance
data transmission to maximize flight safety during the test operation.
Surveillance and intelligence gathering UAVs also require a data transmission
downlink and a command and control systems uplink to accomplish their mission.
We have developed a telemetry system capability that can be configured to meet
individual customers' needs. Various components of the system include data
encoders, transmitters and flight termination receivers. Each has a distinctive
role and each is key to the success of the mission.
We are a leading manufacturer of Pulse Code Modulation, or PCM, and Frequency
Modulation, or FM, telemetry and data acquisition systems for severe environment
applications, and our products are used worldwide for testing space launch
vehicle instrumentation, aircraft flight testing, and amphibian, industrial and
automotive vehicle testing. The product portfolio ranges in size and complexity
from miniature encoders to completely programmable data acquisition systems.
We offer a complete airborne data link system. With our digital capability in
data encoding and acquisition elements combined with our radio frequency
capability in providing telemetry transmitters and flight termination receivers,
we offer a full line of narrow and wide-band airborne telemetry systems to meet
a wide variety of industrial needs, both domestically and internationally.
Command and Control Systems. Our command and control systems have been used to
fly remotely a large variety of unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs, typically
aircraft used as target drones or Remotely Piloted Vehicles, or RPVs. Our
command and control systems also control surface targets. Operations have been
conducted by users on the open ocean, remote land masses, and instrumented test
and training ranges. Our command and control systems are currently in service
throughout the world. Command and control systems permit a ground operator to
fly a target or a UAV through a pre-planned mission. The mission may be for
reconnaissance, where the vehicle is equipped with high definition TV sensors
and the necessary data links to send information back to its command and control
systems ground station. The UAV may also be used as a decoy, since the operator
can direct the flight operations that will make the small drone appear to be a
larger combat aircraft.
Our MAGIC2 system affords over-the-horizon command and control using GPS
guidance and control of multiple targets from a single ground station. The
ability to control multiple targets at increased distances represents a
significant product improvement. The MAGIC2 is a highly flexible, multiple
processor design with high resolution graphics, which can be field-configured
within minutes to fly or control any selected vehicle for which it is equipped.
The MAGIC2 is used in support of missile, aircraft and other weapons systems
development and testing. The system meets a growing requirement to test against
multiple threats with the automated defense capabilities of ships like the AEGIS
cruiser and the E-2C aircraft.
4
Transponders. We manufacture a variety of expendable transponders, including
range safety, IFF, command and control, and range scoring systems. Transponders
are small, expendable, electronic systems consisting of a transmitter, sensitive
receiver and internal signal processing equipment comprised of active and
passive components, including microwave subassemblies such as amplifiers,
oscillators and circulators. The transponder receives signals from radars,
changes and amplifies the frequency of the signals, and transmits back a reply
on a different frequency and signal level. This reply is a strong, noise-free
signal upon which the tracking radar can "lock," and one which is far superior
to skin reflection tracking, particularly under adverse weather conditions after
the launch.
In range safety applications, transponders enable accurate tracking of space
launch and unmanned aerial vehicles, missiles, and target drones so that
position and direction are known throughout its flight. In the case of several
defense and commercial space launch vehicles (i.e., Delta, Atlas, Titan and
Pegasus), our transponder is tracked by the ground launch team all the way to
space orbit, and in certain instances through several orbits, as a reference
location point in space to assure that the launch payload has been properly
placed in orbit.
IFF transponders, which are used in conjunction with the Federal Aviation
Authority Air Traffic Control System, enable ground controllers to identify the
unmanned targets, drones and cruise missiles on which these units fly and to
vector other manned aircraft safely away from the flight path of the unmanned
aerial vehicle.
Command and control transponders provide the link through the telemetry system
for relaying ground signals to direct the vehicle's flight. The uplink from the
ground control station, a series of coded pulse groups, carries the signals that
command the flight control guidance system of the vehicle. The downlink to the
ground provides both tracking signals for range safety, as well as
acknowledgment and status of the uplink commands and their implementation in the
vehicle. The transponder is therefore the means to fly the vehicle. Scoring
systems are mounted on both airborne and sea targets. Scoring systems enable
test and evaluation engineers to determine the "miss-distance" between a
projectile and the target at which it has been launched.
Flight Termination Receiver. A flight termination receiver, or FTR, is installed
in a test missile, UAV, target or space launch vehicle as a safety device. The
FTR has a built-in decoder that enables it to receive a complex series of audio
tones which, when appropriate, will set off an explosive charge that will
destroy the vehicle. A Range Safety Officer, or RSO, using the range safety
transponder will track the vehicle in flight to determine if it is performing as
required. If the RSO detects a malfunction in the test or launch vehicle that
causes it to veer from a planned trajectory in a manner that may endanger
personnel or facilities, the RSO will transmit a coded signal to the onboard FTR
to explode the vehicle.
HF Communications and IFF Interrogators. We design and manufacture high
frequency radio and IFF interrogators. This high frequency communications
equipment is used by the U.S. Navy and foreign navies that conduct joint
military exercises with the U.S. Navy. The IFF interrogators are used as part of
shipboard equipment and are also placed on coastlines, where they are employed
as silent sentries. We have been a significant supplier to the Republic of Korea
for over twenty years and have a large, established installed base of equipment.
We have been, and continue to be, a supplier to the Republic of Korea KDX
destroyer program.
High Power Amplifier. We design and manufacture high power amplifier systems
with frequencies ranging from 1.5 MHz to 12GHz with power levels from
multi-kilowatts up to 15W, depending on the frequency. Our high power amplifier
applications include but are not limited to defense communication, electronic
warfare, radar and avionics. We have an exclusive sales and marketing agreement
with EADS ewation, Grintek Ewation, Sysdel Close Corporation and Teleplan AS
regarding high power amplifiers for monitoring reconnaissance and
countermeasures.
Microwave Integrated Circuits. We design and manufacture complex microwave
integrated circuits, or MICs, which consist of sophisticated assemblies that
perform many functions, primarily involving switching of microwave signals. Our
MICs are employed in many defense electronics systems and missile programs. We
also manufacture magnetrons, which are the power source utilized in the
production of our transponders.
5
High/Low Power Integrated Assembly. Our high power microwave devices are used in
radar system transmitters and in long-range missiles. High power devices
frequently use small amounts of nuclear material to enhance breakdown of high
energy pulses, and we are one of very few companies with an active nuclear
license that permits the handling of these trace amounts of nuclear materials.
There are relatively few companies with the expertise or facilities to design,
manufacture and test high power devices. We also produce lower power, broad band
microwave integrated assemblies for the defense electronics industry. These
complex assemblies combine microwave functions such as amplification,
attenuation, switching of multiple signals, and phase and amplitude control.
Their applications include Rear Warning Receivers, or RWRs, Electronics
Countermeasure, or ECM, systems and highly sensitive receiver systems.
Solid State Receiver Protector. We have become a preeminent supplier of
solid-state receiver protector devices that are able to withstand high energy
pulses without the use of nuclear materials. These high power devices protect a
radar receiver from transient bursts of microwave energy and are employed in
almost every military and commercial radar system. For our engineering efforts
in designing solid-state receiver protectors for the F- 16, we received cash
awards from the United States Air Force as part of the government's value
engineering program.
Digitally Tuned Oscillators (DTO's). We produce microwave sources, which
generate signals that are used in microwave oscillators. Our microwave sources
are sold to the U.S. defense industry and to various foreign governments. We
specialize in digitally tuned oscillators, or DTOs, a critical component in many
ECM systems.
COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES
Our commercial technologies are comprised of scientific products and medical
products.
Scientific Products. Our scientific products are used extensively in Nuclear
Magnetic Resonance (NMR) systems. These amplifiers, which have dual mode
capability and can be operated in either a pulsed or continuous wave, cover the
frequency ranges of 6 MHz to 950 MHz, with power levels as high as 2.0KW peak
power at 10% duty cycle. Scientific customers include OEM, system manufacturers
and research centers.
Medical Products. Our medical products vary in complexity from single modules,
to rack mounted amplifiers, to complete systems. The rack-mounted amplifiers and
complete systems typically include detection/protection circuitry, built-in
power supplies, front panel metering and digital and/or analog interface
controls. Both forced air and/or water cooling are used, depending on the
customer's requirements. Our medical products are used in Magnetic Resonance
Imaging, or MRI, systems. All amplifiers have dual mode capability and can be
operated in either a pulsed or continuous wave mode, and cover the frequency
ranges of 10 MHz to 200 MHz with power levels as high as 12.0KW peak power at
10% duty cycle. Medical customers include both original equipment and systems
manufacturers, as well as universities and research centers.
All products feature highly reliable technical solutions designed for improved
production and reliability. Producibility is enhanced through the use of surface
mount components and circuit designs which eliminate the need for excessive
alignment during the production cycle. High reliability is achieved through the
implementation of conservative thermal and RF circuit design and sophisticated
self-protection schemes. Reliability is further enhanced during the design phase
by employing detailed environmental testing.
CUSTOMERS
During the fiscal year ended July 28, 2002, approximately 17% of our net sales
were attributable to contracts with offices and agencies of the U.S. government.
No other customers accounted for shipments in excess of 10% of net sales.
6
We provide defense electronics equipment to major defense prime contractors for
integration into larger platforms and systems. Some of our customers for defense
electronics equipment include:
Boeing
BAE Systems
Harris
Lockheed Martin
Northrop Grumman
Raytheon
During fiscal 2002, sales to foreign customers accounted for approximately 32%
of our net sales. The governments of Egypt, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and the
United Kingdom are all significant customers of ours. All of our contracts with
foreign customers are payable in U.S. dollars. International sales are subject
to numerous risks, including political and economic instability in foreign
markets, including currency and economic difficulties in the Pacific Rim,
restrictive trade policies of foreign governments, inconsistent product
regulation by foreign agencies or governments, imposition of product tariffs and
burdens and costs of complying with a wide variety of international and U.S.
export laws and regulatory requirements. Our international sales also are
subject to us obtaining export licenses for certain products and systems.
SALES AND MARKETING
We market our products worldwide to the United States government, prime
contractors and various countries in defense markets, and to OEMs, research
institutions and universities in commercial markets. Sales are primarily through
a sales force generally organized by geographic territory and markets. In
addition, we have contracts with manufacturers' representatives in the United
States and international representatives who are located in Western Europe, the
Middle East and Asia. As part of our marketing efforts, we advertise in major
trade publications and attend major industrial shows in the commercial, medical,
satellite communications and defense markets.
After we have identified key potential customers, we make sales calls with our
own sales, management and engineering personnel. In order to promote widespread
acceptance of our products and provide customers with support, our sales and
engineering teams work closely with our customers to develop tailored solutions
to their requirements. We believe that our customer engineering support provides
us with a key competitive advantage.
We also produce microwave components that are sold through our catalog, which
for almost forty years has been an industry leader, and sell attenuating devices
and IQ modulation and phase shifters through the microwave engineer's handbook.
MANUFACTURING
We manufacture our products from standard components, as well as from items that
are manufactured by vendors to our specifications. A majority of our defense
electronics and commercial assemblies and subsystems contain proprietary
technology which is designed and tested by our engineers and technicians and is
manufactured at our own facilities.
We continue to invest in improving our proprietary manufacturing processes and
the automation of the manufacturing processes. Automation is critical in meeting
our customers' demands for price competitiveness, world class quality and
on-time delivery. We are also investing to enhance our responsiveness to the
production demands of our customers.
We purchase electronic components and other raw materials used in our products
from a large number of suppliers and all such materials are readily available
from alternate sources.
7
We maintain minimal levels of finished products inventory to meet the needs of
our medical products customers. We generally purchase raw materials for specific
contracts, and we purchase common components for stock based on our firm fixed
backlog.
There are no significant environmental control procedures required concerning
the discharge of materials into the environment that require us to invest in any
significant capital equipment or that would have a material effect on our
earnings or our competitive position.
Quality assurance checks are performed on manufacturing processes, purchased
items, work-in-process and finished products. Due to the complexity of our
products, final tests are performed on some products by highly skilled engineers
and technicians.
Our primary manufacturing facilities have earned the ISO 9001 Registration. The
ISO 9000 series standards are internationally recognized quality management
system requirements. ISO 9001, the most comprehensive Standard in the ISO 9000
Series, covers design, manufacturing, installation, and servicing systems.
Assembly, test, package and shipment of products are done at our manufacturing
facilities located in the following cities:
Lancaster, Pennsylvania
Farmingdale, New York
Woburn, Massachusetts
Jerusalem, Israel
BACKLOG
Our total backlog of orders was approximately $82.7 million on July 28, 2002 as
compared to $79.4 million on July 29, 2001. Of our total backlog of $82.7
million at July 28, 2002, $54.3 million is attributable to domestic orders and
$28.4 million is attributable to foreign orders. Management anticipates that
approximately $70.7 million of its backlog will be shipped during the fiscal
year ending August 3, 2003.
All of the orders included in backlog are covered by signed contracts or
purchase orders. Backlog is not directly indicative of future sales.
Accordingly, we do not believe that our backlog as of any particular date is
representative of actual sales for any succeeding period.
Substantially all of our contracts are fixed price contracts, some of which
require delivery over time periods in excess of one year. With this type of
contract, we agree to deliver products at a fixed price except for costs
incurred because of change orders issued by the customer.
In accordance with Department of Defense procedures, all contracts involving
government programs may be terminated by the government, in whole or in part, at
the government's discretion for cause or convenience. In the event of a
termination for convenience, prime contractors on such contracts are required to
terminate their subcontracts on the program, and the government or the prime
contractor is obligated to pay the costs incurred by us under the contract to
the date of termination plus a fee based on the work completed.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
We believe that our growth depends, in part, on our ability to renew and expand
our technology, products, and design and manufacturing processes with an
emphasis on cost effectiveness. Our primary efforts are focused on engineering
design and product development activities rather than pure research. Our policy
is to assign the required engineering and support people, on an ad hoc basis, to
new product development as needs require and budgets permit. The cost of these
development activities, including employees' time and prototype development, was
approximately $5.6 million in fiscal 2002, $4.6 million in fiscal 2001 and $3.5
million in fiscal 2000, of
8
which we paid approximately $2.3 million in fiscal 2002, $2.6 million in fiscal
2001 and $2.3 million in 2000. The remainder of these costs were paid by some of
our customers.
COMPETITION
The microwave component and subsystems industry is highly competitive and we
compete against many companies, both foreign and domestic. Many of these
companies are larger, have greater financial resources and are better known. As
a supplier, we also experience significant competition from the in-house
capabilities of our customers.
Competition is generally based upon technology, design, past performance and
price. Our ability to compete depends, in part, on our ability to offer better
design and performance than our competitors and our readiness in facilities,
equipment and personnel to complete the programs. Many of the programs in which
we participate are long standing programs in which we are the sole provider of
our product.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
Because of our participation in the defense industry, we are subject to audits
by various government agencies for our compliance with government regulations.
We are also subject to a variety of local, state and federal government
regulations relating to, among other things, the storage, discharge, handling,
omission, generation, manufacture and disposal of toxic or other hazardous
substances used to manufacture our products. We believe that we operate our
business in material compliance with applicable laws and regulations. However,
any failure to comply with existing or future laws or regulations could have a
material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
We rely primarily on a combination of trade secrets and employee and third-party
nondisclosure agreements to protect our intellectual property, as well as
limiting access to the distribution of proprietary information. We cannot assure
you that the steps taken to protect our intellectual property rights will be
adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology or to preclude
competitors from independently developing such technology. Furthermore, we
cannot assure you that, in the future, third parties will not assert
infringement claims against us or with respect to our products for which we have
indemnified certain of our customers. Asserting our rights or defending against
third party claims could involve substantial costs and diversion of resources,
thus materially and adversely affecting our business, financial condition and
results of operations. In the event a third party were successful in a claim
that one of our products infringed its proprietary rights, we may have to pay
substantial royalties or damages, remove that product from the marketplace or
expend substantial amounts in order to modify the product so that it no longer
infringes on such proprietary rights, any of which could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
EMPLOYEES
As of September 29, 2002, we employed 618 persons full time. Of these employees,
105 comprise the engineering staff, 445 constitute manufacturing personnel, 24
occupy sales and marketing positions, and 44 are in executive, management, and
support functions. None of our employees are covered by collective bargaining
agreements and we consider our employee relations to be satisfactory. We believe
that our future success will depend, in part, on our continued ability to
recruit and retain highly skilled technical, managerial and marketing personnel,
including microwave engineers. To assist in recruiting and retaining such
personnel, we have established competitive benefits programs, including a 401(k)
employee savings plan and stock option plans.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
On August 14, 2001, Robinson Laboratories, Inc. ("RLI") and Ben Robinson
("Robinson") filed an Amended Complaint against Herley Industries, Inc.
("Herley"). Although the Amended Complaint sets forth fifteen counts, the core
allegations are (i) that Herley failed to issue 97,841 shares of common stock in
connection with certain earn out requirements contained in an Asset Purchase
Agreement dated February 1, 2000; (ii) that Herley breached an Employment
Agreement with Robinson by terminating his employment on August 5, 2001; and
(iii) that Herley breached a Stock Option Agreement dated January 31, 2000, with
Robinson. RLI and Robinson asserted (i) violations of state and federal
securities laws; (ii) fraud claims; (iii) breach of contract claims; and (iv)
other equitable claims arising from the above core factual allegations.
On September 17, 2001, Herley filed an Answer, Affirmative Defenses and
Counterclaims in this matter. In the Answer and Affirmative Defenses, Herley
denied the material allegations of the Amended Complaint. Herley also filed
Counterclaims against both RLI and Robinson. In these counterclaims, Herley's
core allegations concern Robinson's misconduct (i) in connection with the manner
he attempted to satisfy RLI's earn out requirements; (ii) misrepresentations
made in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement; (iii) wrongdoing as a
Herley employee leading to his termination and (iv) post-Herley employment
wrongdoing in connection with a new company known as RH Laboratories. In
addition to seeking a Declaratory Judgment pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ss. 2201 et.
seq., Herley also asserted claims for, among other things, fraud, breach of
contract, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition and tortious interference
with actual and prospective contractual relationships.
On August 5, 2002, a jury trial commenced. A jury verdict was rendered on August
21, 2002 in which the jury determined, among other things, that (i) Herley was
not required to pay any additional stock; (ii) Herley breached the Employment
Agreement with Robinson and awarded Robinson $1.5 million in damages; (iii)
Herley breached the Lease Agreement with Robinson and awarded Robinson
approximately $552,000 in compensatory damages; (iv) Robinson breached fiduciary
duties to Herley and awarded Herley $400,000 in compensatory damages; (v)
Robinson and RLI breached indemnity obligations and awarded Herley $100,000 in
damages; (vi) RLI breached representations and warranties given to Herley and
awarded Herley $320,000 in damages. The court has still not entered final
judgment following the jury verdict, and both parties are expected to appeal.
Additionally, as the prevailing party in connection with the claims asserted by
RLI relating to the earn-out stock, as well as claims advanced relating to the
various breaches of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Herley intends to file a
petition for attorney's fees and costs against both RLI and Robinson for
approximately $2,000,000.
The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings and claims which
arise in the ordinary course of its business. While any litigation contains an
element of uncertainty, management believes that the outcome of such litigation
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

Fiscal 2002 Compared to Fiscal 2001
Net sales from continuing operations for the 52 weeks ended July 28, 2002 were
approximately $92,881,000 compared to $76,494,000 for fiscal 2001. The net sales
increase of $16,387,000 (21.4%) is attributable to increased revenue in defense
electronics of $18,638,000; offset by a decrease of $2,251,000 in commercial
technologies.
Gross profit of 33.3% for the 52 weeks ended July 28, 2002 is less than the
prior year of 33.7%. The decline in margin is due primarily to lower margins on
certain Robinson Labs contracts that were transferred to other facilities, and
the investment in new product development related to commercial applications.
The significant increase in net sales in defense electronics cushioned the
decline in gross profit.
Selling and administrative expenses for the 52 weeks ended July 28, 2002 were
$13,229,000 compared to $14,545,000 for fiscal 2001, a net decrease of
$1,316,000. In connection with the adoption of SFAS 142 as of July 30, 2001, the
Company ceased amortization of goodwill (See Note A.8.). Selling and
administrative expenses in fiscal 2001 included goodwill amortization of
$916,000. Cost savings associated with the relocation of the AMT facility
amounted to approximately $605,000. Other significant changes include an
increase in incentive compensation of $363,000 and a reduction in payroll and
related costs of $198,000.
Legal costs in fiscal 2002 increased $1,814,000 over fiscal 2001, directly
related to the Robinson Labs litigation. (See Item 3. "Legal Proceedings").
Plant closing costs in connection with the facilities in Nashua, NH and Anaheim,
CA were accrued in October 2001 in the amount of $406,000 of which $348,000 was
paid as of July 28, 2002.
Other income increased approximately $39,000 from the prior year primarily from
the investment of proceeds of approximately $64,812,000 from the sale of common
stock to the public on April 30, 2002, partially offset by lower interest rates.
Interest expense increased $100,000 as compared to fiscal 2001 due to the
$3,000,000 financing of the expansion of the Lancaster facility through
industrial revenue bonds and interest on temporary borrowings of $4,300,000
under the bank line of credit.
The effective income tax rate decreased to 31.2% in fiscal 2002 from 33.8% in
2001 due to various favorable tax benefits including a lower effective tax rate
on foreign-source income and recognition in the fourth quarter of the tax
benefit attributable to extra territorial income.
Fiscal 2001 Compared to Fiscal 2000
Net sales from continuing operations for the 52 weeks ended July 29, 2001 were
approximately $76,494,000 compared to $70,537,000 for fiscal 2000. The net sales
increase of $5,957,000 (8.4%) is attributable to the acquisition of American
Microwave in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 which contributed $6,812,000 in
net sales, as well as an increase in net sales of approximately $4,573,000 in
commercial products. Defense electronics experienced a drop in revenue of
approximately $5,428,000 due to delayed orders from various customers.
Gross profit of 33.7% for the 52 weeks ended July 29, 2001 is less than the
prior year of 37.1%. The decline in margin of 3.4% is due primarily to lower
margins on commercial products and certain defense electronics products. Margins
also have been impacted by certain inefficiencies at the Nashua facility. This
operation is now being consolidated into the New England and Farmingdale
facilities.
Selling and administrative expenses for the 52 weeks ended July 29, 2001 were
$14,545,000 compared to $13,497,000 for fiscal 2000, an increase of $1,048,000.
The primary increase is due to businesses acquired which added $1,563,000 in
fiscal 2001 and $486,000 in additional personnel expenses associated with power
amplifier marketing costs. Incentive compensation decreased $707,000.
14
Other income increased approximately $447,000 from the prior year primarily from
the investment of proceeds from the exercise of warrants in May and November
2000. Interest expense decreased $906,000 as compared to fiscal 2000 due to the
repayment of bank borrowings out of the proceeds of the exercise of the
warrants.
The effective income tax rate decreased to 33.8% in fiscal 2001 from 35.0% in
2000 due to various favorable tax benefits including a lower effective tax rate
on foreign-source income.
Discontinued operations
The Company entered into an agreement effective as of the close of business
September 30, 2000, to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common stock of
Terrasat, Inc. ("Terrasat"), a California corporation for cash in the amount of
$6,000,000, $3,000,000 of which was paid in December 2000 and $3,000,000 of
which was paid in December 2001. In addition, the agreement provided for
additional cash payments in the future up to $2,000,000, based on gross revenues
through December 31, 2001. The targeted gross revenues under the agreement were
not achieved, therefore no additional cash payments were required.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" which addresses financial accounting and
reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long- lived assets to
be disposed of. SFAS No 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,"
retains the fundamental provisions of Statement 121 for (a) recognition and
measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and (b)
measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. SFAS 144 also
supersedes the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion 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," for segments of a business to be disposed of, but
retains the requirement of Opinion 30 to report discontinued operations
separately from continuing operations and extends that reporting to a component
of an entity that either has been disposed of (by sale, by abandonment, or in a
distribution to owners) or is classified as held for sale. The provisions of
this statement were adopted by the Company effective on July 30, 2001.
In January 2002 the Board of Directors of the Company decided to discontinue the
operations of Terrasat and to seek a buyer for the business. The Company
believed that Terrasat would not be able to generate sufficient returns to
justify continued investment due to the overcapacity in the telecom industry and
deteriorating economic conditions in Terrasat's primary markets. Consequently,
the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect Terrasat as
discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS No. 144. The assets and
liabilities of Terrasat at July 29, 2001 have been classified in the
accompanying balance sheet as "Assets held for sale", and "Liabilities held for
sale." Results of operations and cash flows of Terrasat have been classified as
"Loss from discontinued operations", and "Net cash provided by (used in)
discontinued operations", respectively.
The sale of certain assets and liabilities, and the business of Terrasat was
consummated on March 1, 2002, effective the close of business January 27, 2002,
to certain current employees of Terrasat for cash and a note which approximates
the value of the net assets held for sale as of January 27, 2002 of $878,000.
Change in accounting principle
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" which requires the use of a
non-amortization approach to account for purchased goodwill and certain
intangibles. Under a non-amortization approach, goodwill will not be amortized
into results of operations, but instead will be reviewed for impairments which
will be charged to results of operations in the periods in which the recorded
value of goodwill is more than its fair value. The provisions of this statement
were adopted by the Company on July 30, 2001. The adoption of SFAS No.142
resulted in the Company's discontinuation of amortization of its goodwill as of
July 30, 2001.
15
In connection with the adoption of SFAS 142, the Company was required to assess
goodwill for impairment within six months of adoption, and completed its
assessment in the second quarter of fiscal 2002.
The Company operates as a single integrated business and as such has one
operating segment which is also the reportable segment as defined in SFAS 131.
Within the operating segment, the Company has identified two components as
reporting units as defined under SFAS 142, defense electronics and commercial
technologies. The Company has determined the carrying value of each reporting
unit by assigning assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and
intangible assets, to those reporting units as of July 30, 2001. The Company has
determined that an impairment of goodwill in the commercial technologies unit
has occurred. Accordingly, a transition adjustment in the amount of $4,637,000
has been recorded as of July 30, 2001 as a cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle. There is no tax benefit associated with the adjustment
since the impaired goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.
There was no impairment in the remaining goodwill at July 28, 2002 of
approximately $21,665,000 related to the defense electronics reporting unit
based on current market capitalization of the Company. An annual impairment test
will be performed in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and any future
impairment of goodwill will be charged to operations.
Amortization of goodwill charged to continuing operations for the fiscal years
ended July 29, 2001 and July 30, 2000 was approximately $1,296,000 and $958,000,
respectively. Amortization of goodwill charged to discontinued operations for
the fiscal year ended July 29, 2001 was approximately $208,000.

17
The gross profit margin from quarter to quarter is affected by the change in
product mix. Income from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal
2002 was favorably affected by the lower effective income tax rate due to the
recognition of the tax benefit attributable to extra territorial income, which
was offset by litigation costs (See Item. 3 "Legal Proceedings").
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of July 28, 2002 and July 29, 2001, working capital was $129,012,000 and
$46,804,000, respectively, and the ratio of current assets to current
liabilities was 9.45 to 1 and 3.50 to 1, respectively.
As is customary in the defense industry, inventory is partially financed by
progress payments. In addition, it is customary for the Company to receive
advanced payments from customers on major contracts at the time a contract is
entered into. The unliquidated balance of these advanced payments was
approximately $1,371,000 at July 28, 2002, and $261,000 at July 29, 2001.
Net cash provided by continuing operations was approximately $13,139,000 in
fiscal 2002 as compared to $3,858,000 in 2001. Significant items contributing to
the sources of funds include income from operations of $14,647,000 (adjusted for
depreciation and amortization), a decrease in accounts receivable of $1,583,000,
increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $429,000, income taxes of
$5,351,000, and advanced payments on contracts of $1,110,000. Offsetting these
sources of funds are an increase in costs incurred and income recognized in
excess of billings on uncompleted contracts of $6,341,000, an increase in
inventory of $1,974,000, and a net change in deferred taxes of $1,183,000.
Net cash used in investing activities consists of $5,488,000 for capital
expenditures, $500,000 for a license of certain technology, and the $3,000,000
deferred payment of the Terrasat purchase price; offset by a partial
distribution from the limited partnership of $626,000.
In June 2002, the Company entered into a new $50,000,000 Revolving Credit Loan
Syndication agreement with two banks on an unsecured basis which may be used for
general corporate purposes, including business acquisitions. The revolving
credit facility requires the payment of interest only on a monthly basis and
payment of the outstanding principal balance on January 31, 2004. The Company
may elect to borrow up to a maximum of $5,000,000 with interest based on the
FOMC Federal Funds Target Rate plus a margin of 1.50% to 1.80%, or up to a
maximum of $45,000,000 with interest based on LIBOR plus a margin of 1.35% to
1.65%. The applicable incremental margin is based on the ratio of total
liabilities to tangible net worth, as those terms are defined in the agreement,
ranging from less than .40 to 1.0, to greater than 1.0 to 1.0. The FOMC Federal
Funds Target Rate and the LIBOR rate was 1.75% and 1.81%, respectively, at July
28, 2002. There is a fee of 15 basis points per annum on the unused portion of
the $45,000,000 LIBOR based portion of the credit facility payable quarterly.
There were no borrowings outstanding as of July 28, 2002 and July 29, 2001.
During the fiscal year ended July 28, 2002, the Company borrowed and repaid
$4,300,000 under the credit facility for working capital needs. Stand-by letters
of credit were outstanding in the amount of $5,062,000 under the credit facility
at July 28, 2002.
During the fiscal year ended July 28, 2002, the Company received proceeds of
$3,000,000 from the issuance of industrial revenue bonds in connection with the
financing of the plant expansion in Lancaster PA, and received approximately
$3,984,000 from the exercise of common stock options by employees.
On April 30, 2002, the Company completed the sale of 3,000,000 shares of common
stock to the public at $23.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of
approximately $64,812,000 after underwriting discounts and commissions and other
expenses of the offering.
The Company received 206,756 shares of common stock during the fiscal year
valued at $3,847,000 in exchange for payroll taxes due from employees upon the
exercise of stock options.

The Company believes that presently anticipated future cash requirements will be
provided by internally generated funds, its existing unsecured credit facility,
and the approximately $64,812,000 net proceeds from the sale of 3,000,000 shares
of common stock to the public on April 30, 2002 (See Note M of the financial
statements). A significant portion of the Company's revenue for fiscal 2003 will
be generated from its existing backlog of sales orders. The backlog of orders at
July 28, 2002 was approximately $82,678,000. All orders included in backlog are
covered by signed contracts or purchase orders. Nevertheless, contracts
involving government programs may be terminated at the discretion of the
government. In the event of the cancellation of a significant amount of
government contracts included in the Company's backlog, the Company will be
required to rely more heavily on cash reserves and its existing credit facility
to fund its operations. The Company is not aware of any events which are
reasonably likely to result in any cancellation of its government contracts. The
Company has $44,938,000 available under its bank credit facility, net of
outstanding stand-by letters of credit of $5,062,000, and cash reserves at July
28, 2002 of approximately $86,210,000.

Critical Accounting Policies
The Company's established policies are outlined in the footnotes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements entitled "Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies" (contained in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K). As part of its
oversight responsibilities, management continually evaluates the propriety of
its accounting methods as new events occur. Management believes that its
policies are applied in a manner which is intended to provide the user of the
Company's financial statements a current, accurate and complete presentation of
information in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Important accounting practices that require the use of assumptions and judgments
are outlined below.
Revenue under certain long-term, fixed price contracts is recognized using the
percentage of completion method of accounting. Revenue recognized on these
contracts is based on estimated completion to date (the total contract amount
multiplied by percent of performance, based on total costs incurred in relation
to total estimated cost at completion). Prospective losses on long-term
contracts are based upon the anticipated excess of inventoriable manufacturing
costs over the selling price of the remaining units to be delivered and are
recorded when first reasonably determinable. Contract costs include all direct
material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract
performance. Actual losses could differ from those estimated due to changes in
the ultimate manufacturing costs. Risks and uncertainties inherent in the
estimation process could affect the amounts reported in our financial
statements. The key assumptions used in the estimate of costs to complete relate
to labor costs and indirect costs required to complete the contract. The
estimate of rates and hours as well as the application of overhead costs is
reviewed on a regular basis. If our business conditions were different, or if we
used different assumptions in the application of this and other accounting
policies, it is likely that materially different amounts would be reported on
our financial statements.
Subsequent Event
The Company entered into an agreement as of September 1, 2002, to acquire all of
the issued and outstanding common stock of EW Simulation Technology, Limited
("EWST"), a British company of Aldershot, UK, which is expected to be operated
as a wholly-owned subsidiary. EWST designs, develops and produces electronic
warfare simulator systems for prime defense contractors and countries worldwide.
The transaction, which closed on September 20, 2002, provides for payment of
$3,000,000 in cash and a note for $1,500,000, including interest at 1.8%,
payable in annual installments of $500,000. The transaction will be accounted
for in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations",
which requires that all business combinations be accounted for using the
purchase method. The allocation of the aggregate estimated purchase price will
be determined based on detailed reviews of the fair value of assets acquired,
including identified intangible assets, and liabilities assumed. Any remaining
excess cost over the fair value of net assets acquired will be recognized as
goodwill.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations". SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the
associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2002. Management does not believe the adoption of this
standard will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No.
4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections."
This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. SFAS
145 requires, among other things, eliminating reporting debt extinguishments as
an extraordinary item in the income statement. Management does not believe the
adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities." The statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 146
20
requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal
activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an
exit or disposal plan. Management does not believe the adoption of this standard
will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is subject to market risk associated with changes in interest rates,
and foreign currency exchange. The Company has not entered into any market risk
sensitive instruments for trading purposes.
In October 2001, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a bank
pursuant to which it exchanged floating rate interest in connection with the
Bonds discussed in Note H of the financial statements on a notional amount of
$3,000,000 for a fixed rate of 4.07% for a 10 year period ending October 1,
2011. The notional amount reduces each year in tandem with the annual
installments due on the Bonds. The fixing of the interest rate for this period
offsets the Company's exposure to the uncertainty of floating interest rates on
the Bonds, and as such has been designated as a cash flow hedge. The hedge is
deemed to be highly effective and any ineffectiveness will be recognized in
interest expense in the reporting period. The fair value of the interest rate
swap was a liability of $147,000 as of July 28, 2002. There was no material
hedge ineffectiveness related to cash flow hedges during the period to be
recognized in earnings. There was no gain or loss reclassified from accumulated
other comprehensive income into earnings during the fiscal year ended July 28,
2002 as a result of the discontinuance of a cash flow hedge due to the
probability of the original forecasted transaction not occurring.
Other debt of the Company consists of a mortgage on its facility in Lancaster,
PA at a fixed rate of 7.43%, and a $50,000,000 Revolving Credit Loan Syndication
agreement with two banks on an unsecured basis which may be used for general
corporate purposes, including business acquisitions. The revolving credit
facility requires the payment of interest only on a monthly basis and payment of
the outstanding principal balance on January 31, 2004. The Company may elect to
borrow up to a maximum of $5,000,000 with interest based on the FOMC Federal
Funds Target Rate plus a margin of 1.50% to 1.80%, or up to a maximum of
$45,000,000 with interest based on LIBOR plus a margin of 1.35% to 1.65%. The
applicable incremental margin is based on the ratio of total liabilities to
tangible net worth, as those terms are defined in the agreement, ranging from
less than .40 to 1.0, to greater than 1.0 to 1.0. The FOMC Federal Funds Target
Rate and the LIBOR rate was 1.75% and 1.81%, respectively, at July 28, 2002. The
credit line is reviewed on an annual basis.
Since the acquisition of GMC, the Company is subject to movements in foreign
currency rate changes related to GMC's Israel operations.
The Company does not anticipate any other material changes in its primary market
risk exposures in fiscal 2003.
The table below provides information about the Company's debt that is sensitive
to changes in interest rates. Future principal payment cash flows by maturity
date as required under the mortgage and the industrial revenue bonds, and
corresponding fair values are as follows:

The Company does not consider the market risk exposure relating to foreign
currency exchange or interest rates to be material.
There were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of
July 28, 2002.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors of
Herley Industries, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Herley
Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("the Company") as of July 28, 2002, and the
related consolidated statement of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows
for the year then ended. Our audit also included the financial statement
schedule listed in the Index at Item 14 as it relates to the year ended July 28,
2002. These consolidated 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 financial statement
schedule based on our audit. The financial statements of the Company for the
years ended July 29, 2001 and July 30, 2000 were audited by other auditors who
have ceased operations. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those
financial statements in their report dated October 3, 2001, updated as of March
1, 2002.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of July 28, 2002,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule as it
relates to the year ended July 28, 2002, when considered in relation to the
basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all
material respects the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note A to the consolidated financial statements, in 2002 the
Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill by adopting Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1. Nature of Operations
The Company, a Delaware corporation, is engaged in research, engineering,
product development, and manufacturing of complex microwave radio frequency
(RF) and millimeter wave components and subsystems for defense and
commercial customers worldwide.
2. Fiscal Year
The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to July 31. Normally
each fiscal year consists of 52 weeks, but every five or six years the
fiscal year will consist of 53 weeks. All fiscal years presented consisted
of 52 weeks.
3. Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Herley
Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All
significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. The presentation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as revenues
and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
4. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents.
Short-term investments are recorded at the amortized cost plus accrued
interest which approximates market value. The Company limits its credit
risk to an acceptable level by evaluating the financial strength of
institutions at which significant investments are made and based upon
credit ratings.
5. Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risk
consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are
principally from the U.S. Government, major U.S. Government contractors,
several foreign governments, and domestic customers in the defense,
aerospace, and medical industries. Credit is extended based on an
evaluation of the customer's financial condition and generally collateral
is not required. In many cases irrevocable letters of credit accompanied by
advanced payments are received from foreign customers, and progress
payments are received from domestic customers. The Company performs
periodic credit evaluations of its customers and maintains reserves for
potential credit losses.
6. Inventories
Inventories, other than inventory costs relating to long-term contracts and
programs, are stated at lower of cost (principally first-in, first-out) or
market. Inventory costs relating to long-term contracts and programs are
stated at the actual production costs, including factory overhead, reduced
by amounts identified with revenue recognized on units delivered or
progress completed.
Inventory costs relating to long-term contracts and programs are reduced by
any amounts in excess of estimated realizable value.
F-8
7. Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and
amortization are provided principally by the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets. Gains and losses arising from
the sale or disposition of property, plant and equipment are recorded in
other income (expense).
8. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" on July 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 requires the use of a
non-amortization approach to account for purchased goodwill and certain
intangibles. Under a non-amortization approach, goodwill and certain
intangibles are not amortized into results of operations, but instead are
reviewed for impairment and written down and charged to results of
operations in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and
certain intangibles is more than its fair value. The adoption of SFAS
No.142 resulted in the Company's discontinuation of amortization of its
goodwill and certain intangible assets. The Company was required to assess
its goodwill for impairment under the new standard within six months of
adoption and completed its assessment in the second quarter of fiscal 2002.
The Company operates as a single integrated business and as such has one
operating segment which is also the reportable segment as defined in SFAS
131. Within the operating segment, the Company has identified two
components as reporting units as defined under SFAS 142, defense
electronics and commercial technologies. The Company determined the
carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning assets and liabilities,
including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting
units as of July 30, 2001. The Company determined that an impairment of
goodwill in the commercial technologies unit had occurred due to the
overcapacity in the telecom industry and deteriorating economic conditions.
Accordingly, a transition adjustment in the amount of $4,637,000 was
recorded as of July 30, 2001 as a cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle. There is no tax benefit associated with the
adjustment since the impaired goodwill is not deductible for income tax
purposes.
Amortization of goodwill charged to continuing operations for the fifty-two
weeks ended July 29, 2001 and July 30, 2000 was approximately $1,296,000
and $958,000 respectively. Amortization of goodwill charged to discontinued
operations for the fifty-two weeks ended July 29, 2001 was approximately
$208,000. Pro- forma income from continuing operations and net income and
earnings per share in connection with the adoption of SFAS 142 is as
follows (in thousands except per share data):

Intangibles, consisting of patents having an estimated useful life of
fourteen years, are carried at an aggregate gross amount of $568,000 with
accumulated amortization at July 29, 2002 of $145,000. Amortization expense
for the fifty-two weeks ended July 29, 2002 and July 30, 2001 was
approximately $41,000.
The carrying amount of intangibles is evaluated on a recurring basis. There
was no impairment in the remaining goodwill at July 28, 2002 of
approximately $21,665,000 related to the defense electronics reporting unit
based on current market capitalization of the Company. An annual impairment
test is performed in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and any future
impairment of goodwill will be charged to operations.
F-10
9. Marketable Securities
The Company accounts for its investments in marketable securities in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."
Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at
the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance
sheet date. Debt securities are classified as held-to- maturity when the
Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to
maturity. Marketable equity securities and debt securities not classified
as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale.
Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair market value with net
unrealized holding gains or losses, net of income taxes, reported as a
separate component of other comprehensive loss. Realized gains and losses
and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary are included in
other income, net. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific
identification method. Interest and dividends on securities are included in
other income, net.
10. Other Investments
The Company is a limited partner in a nonmarketable limited partnership in
which it owns approximately a 10% interest.
11. Revenue and Cost Recognition
Substantially all of our customer contracts are firm, fixed price
contracts, providing for a predetermined fixed price for the products that
we sell, regardless of the costs we incur. Under fixed-price contracts,
revenue and related costs are recorded primarily as deliveries are made.
Certain costs under long-term, fixed-price contracts (principally either
directly or indirectly with the U.S. Government), which include non-
recurring billable engineering, are deferred until these costs are
contractually billable. Revenue under certain long-term, fixed price
contracts is recognized using the percentage of completion method of
accounting. Revenue recognized on these contracts is based on estimated
completion to date (the total contract amount multiplied by percent of
performance, based on total costs incurred in relation to total estimated
cost at completion). Prospective losses on long-term contracts are based
upon the anticipated excess of inventoriable manufacturing costs over the
selling price of the remaining units to be delivered and are recorded in
the period when first determinable. Actual losses could differ from those
estimated due to changes in the ultimate manufacturing costs and contract
terms.
Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those
indirect costs related to contract performance. Selling, general and
administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.
12. Product Development
The Company's primary efforts are focused on engineering design and product
development activities rather than pure research. The cost of these
development activities, including employees' time and prototype
development, net of amounts paid by customers, was approximately
$2,269,000, $2,588,000, and $2,264,000 in fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000,
respectively, and are included in cost of products sold.
13. Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for by the asset/liability approach in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred taxes represent the expected future
tax consequences when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are
recovered or paid. They arise from temporary differences between the
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are
adjusted for changes in tax laws and tax rates when those changes are
enacted. The provision for income taxes represents the total of income
taxes paid or payable for the current year, plus the change in deferred
taxes during the year.
F-11
14. Stock-Based Compensation
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," encourages, but does not require companies to
record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at
fair value. The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based
compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees," and related Interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost for
stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price
of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee
must pay to acquire the stock. Because the exercise price of the Company's
employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on
the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
15. Foreign Currency Translation
Financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are prepared in their
respective functional currencies and translated into United States dollars
at the current exchange rates for assets and liabilities and an average
rate for the year for revenues, costs and expenses. Net gains or losses
resulting from the translation of foreign financial statements are charged
or credited directly to the 'Foreign currency translation' component of
'Accumulated other comprehensive loss' in the accompanying consolidated
statements of shareholders' equity.
16. Derivatives
The Company recognizes all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.
On the date the derivative instrument is entered into, the Company
generally designates the derivative as either (1) a hedge of the fair value
of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment
("fair value hedge") or (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the
variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized
asset or liability ("cash flow hedge"). Changes in the fair value of a
derivative that is designated as, and meets all the required criteria for,
a fair value hedge, along with the gain or loss on the hedged asset or
liability that is attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in current
period earnings. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is
designated as, and meets all the required criteria for, a cash flow hedge
are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and
reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects earnings.
The portion of the change in fair value of a derivative associated with
hedge ineffectiveness or the component of a derivative instrument excluded
from the assessment of hedge effectiveness is recorded currently in
earnings. Also, changes in the entire fair value of a derivative that is
not designated as a hedge are recorded immediately in earnings. The Company
formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged
items, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for
undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes relating all
derivatives that are designated as fair value or cash flow hedges to
specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to specific firm
commitments or forecasted transactions.
The Company also formally assesses, both at the inception of the hedge and
on an ongoing basis, whether each derivative is highly effective in
offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item. If it
is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or if a
derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, the Company will
discontinue hedge accounting prospectively.
17. New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations". SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and
reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible
long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143
is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. Management
does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact
on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
F-12
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements
No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections." This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
May 15, 2002. SFAS 145 requires, among other things, eliminating reporting
debt extinguishments as an extraordinary item in the income statement.
Management does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a
material impact on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." The statement is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 146 requires
companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities
when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit
or disposal plan. Management does not believe the adoption of this standard
will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results
of operations.
NOTE B - ACQUISITIONS
The Company entered into an agreement as of September 1, 2000 to acquire
certain assets and the business, subject to the assumption of certain
liabilities, of American Microwave Technology, Inc., ("AMT"), a California
corporation, which operates as a division of Herley Industries, Inc. The
transaction provided for the payment of $5,400,000 in cash, and the
assumption of approximately $1,153,000 in liabilities. In addition, the
Company entered into an exclusive license agreement for certain products
providing for a royalty of 10% on the net shipments of such products
through October 2004. The transaction has been accounted for under the
purchase method. Accordingly, the consolidated statements of income include
the results of AMT's operations from September 1, 2000.
The Company entered into an agreement, as of January 3, 2000, to acquire
substantially all of the assets of Robinson Laboratories, Inc. ("Robinson"
or "Robinson Labs"), a New Hampshire corporation, which operates as a
division of Herley Industries, Inc. The transaction provided for the
payment of $6,000,000 in cash, the issuance of 50,762 (as adjusted) shares
of Common Stock of the Company valued at $10.125 per share, and the
assumption of approximately $3,140,000 in liabilities. In addition, the
agreement provided for the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock up
to a maximum of 146,761 shares (as adjusted) based on new orders booked
through January 2001. The Company determined that new orders booked through
January 2001 did not meet the earn out provisions of the Asset Purchase
Agreement (See Note F "Litigation"). The transaction has been accounted for
under the purchase method. The consolidated statements of income include
the results of Robinson's operations from January 3, 2000.
Unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations as if the
acquisitions discussed above had taken place at the beginning of fiscal
2000 would not have been materially different from the amounts reported.
As of September 1, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire
all of the issued and outstanding common stock of EW Simulation Technology,
Limited, as discussed in Note R.

partnership. The objectives of the partnership are the preservation and
protection of its capital and the earning of income through the purchase of
certificates or other documentation that evidence liens for unpaid local
taxes on parcels of real property. At July 28, 2002 and July 29, 2001 the
percentage of ownership was approximately 10%. The Company's interest in
the partnership may be transferred to a substitute limited partner, upon
written notice to the managing general partners, only with the unanimous
consent of both general partners at their sole discretion. The Company
received partial distributions of approximately $626,000 and $296,000 from
the Partnership in fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively. As of July 28, 2002
the Company's limited partnership interest had a carrying value of
$195,000.

Employment Agreements
The Company has employment agreements with certain executives of the
Company which expire December 31, 2007, subject to extension for additional
one-year periods annually each January 1 with a final expiration date of
December 31, 2010. The agreements provide for aggregate annual salaries as
of July 29, 2002 of $1,327,000 and provide for a semi-annual cost of living
adjustment based on the consumer price index. The agreements also provide
for incentive compensation at 7% in the aggregate of pretax income of the
Company. Incentive compensation in the amount of $956,000 and $971,000 was
expensed in fiscal years 2002 and 2000, respectively. The executives waived
their incentive for fiscal 2001.
The agreements also provide that, in the event there is a change in control
of the Company, as defined, the executives have the option to terminate the
agreements and receive a lump-sum payment equal to the sum of the salary
payable for the remainder of the employment term, plus the annual bonuses
(based on the average of the three highest annual bonuses awarded during
the ten preceding years) for the remainder of the employment term. As of
July 29, 2002, the amount payable in the event of such termination would be
approximately $12,416,000.
The agreements also provide for consulting periods, one for five and one
for ten years, at the end of the employment period at an annual
compensation equivalent to one-half of the executive's annual salary at the
end of the employment period, subject to annual cost of living adjustments.
An employment contract of a retired executive provides for a consulting
period which became effective October 1, 1998, and terminates December 31,
2010 at the annual rate of compensation of $100,000.
Six officers of the Company have severance agreements providing for an
aggregate lump-sum payment of $1,820,000 through September 30, 2004 in the
event of a change of control of the Company as defined in the agreements.
Litigation
On August 14, 2001, Robinson Laboratories, Inc. ("RLI") and Ben Robinson
("Robinson") filed an Amended Complaint against Herley Industries, Inc.
("Herley"). Although the Amended Complaint sets forth fifteen counts, the
core allegations are (i) that Herley failed to issue 97,841 shares of
common stock in connection with certain earn out requirements contained in
an Asset Purchase Agreement dated February 1, 2000; (ii) that Herley
breached an Employment Agreement with Robinson by terminating his
employment on August 5, 2001; and (iii) that Herley breached a Stock Option
Agreement dated January 31, 2000, with Robinson. RLI and Robinson asserted
(i) violations of state and federal securities laws; (ii) fraud claims;
(iii) breach of contract claims; and (iv) other equitable claims arising
from the above core factual allegations.
On September 17, 2001, Herley filed an Answer, Affirmative Defenses and
Counterclaims in this matter. In the Answer and Affirmative Defenses,
Herley denied the material allegations of the Amended Complaint. Herley
also filed Counterclaims against both RLI and Robinson. In these
counterclaims, Herley's core allegations concern Robinson's misconduct (i)
in connection with the manner he attempted to satisfy RLI's
F-15
earn out requirements; (ii) misrepresentations made in connection with the
Asset Purchase Agreement; (iii) wrongdoing as a Herley employee leading to
his termination and (iv) post-Herley employment wrongdoing in connection
with a new company known as RH Laboratories. In addition to seeking a
Declaratory Judgment pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ss. 2201 et. seq., Herley also
asserted claims for, among other things, fraud, breach of contract, breach
of fiduciary duty, unfair competition and tortious interference with actual
and prospective contractual relationships.
On August 5, 2002, a jury trial commenced. A jury verdict was rendered on
August 21, 2002 in which the jury determined, among other things, that (i)
Herley was not required to pay any additional stock; (ii) Herley breached
the Employment Agreement with Robinson and awarded Robinson $1.5 million in
damages; (iii) Herley breached the Lease Agreement with Robinson and
awarded Robinson approximately $552,000 in compensatory damages; (iv)
Robinson breached fiduciary duties to Herley and awarded Herley $400,000 in
compensatory damages; (v) Robinson and RLI breached indemnity obligations
and awarded Herley $100,000 in damages; (vi) RLI breached representations
and warranties given to Herley and awarded Herley $320,000 in damages. The
court has still not entered final judgment following the jury verdict, and
both parties are expected to appeal. Additionally, as the prevailing party
in connection with the claims asserted by RLI relating to the earn-out
stock, as well as claims advanced relating to the various breaches of the
Asset Purchase Agreement, Herley intends to file a petition for attorney's
fees and costs against both RLI and Robinson for approximately $2,000,000.
The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings and claims which
arise in the ordinary course of its business. While any litigation contains
an element of uncertainty, management believes that the outcome of such
litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.
Stand-by Letters of Credit
The Company maintains a letter of credit facility with a bank that provides
for the issuance of stand-by letters of credit and requires the payment of
a fee of 1.0% per annum of the amounts outstanding under the facility. The
facility expires January 31, 2004. At July 28, 2002 stand-by letters of
credit aggregating approximately $5,062,000 were outstanding under this
facility.

(a) In June 2002, the Company entered into a new $50,000,000 Revolving
Credit Loan Syndication agreement with two banks on an unsecured basis
which may be used for general corporate purposes, including business
acquisitions. The revolving credit facility requires the payment of
interest only on a monthly basis and payment of the outstanding
principal balance on January 31, 2004. The Company may elect to borrow
up to a maximum of $5,000,000 with interest based on the FOMC Federal
Funds Target Rate plus a margin of 1.50% to 1.80%, or up to a maximum
of $45,000,000 with interest based on LIBOR plus a margin of 1.35% to
1.65%. The applicable incremental margin is based on the ratio of
total liabilities to tangible net worth, as those terms are defined in
the agreement, ranging from less than .40 to 1.0, to greater than 1.0
to 1.0. The FOMC Federal Funds Target Rate and the LIBOR rate was
1.75% and 1.81%, respectively, at July 28, 2002. There is a fee of 15
basis points per annum on the unused portion of the $45,000,000 LIBOR
based portion of the credit facility payable quarterly. There are no
borrowings under the line at July 28, 2002 and July 29, 2001.
The agreement contains various financial covenants, including, among
other matters, minimum tangible net worth, total liabilities to
tangible net worth, debt service coverage, and restrictions on other
borrowings. The Company is in compliance with all covenants at July
28, 2002.
(b) The mortgage loan is for a term of ten years commencing February 16,
1999 with fixed monthly principal and interest installments of
$23,359, including interest at a fixed rate of 7.43%, and is based
upon a twenty year amortization. The loan is secured by a mortgage on
the Company's land and building in Lancaster, Pennsylvania having a
net book value of approximately $1,845,000. The proceeds of the
mortgage loan were used to prepay the existing mortgage note having an
outstanding balance of $2,890,000 plus a prepayment premium of
$115,600.
The mortgage note agreement contains various financial covenants,
including, among other matters, the maintenance of specific amounts of
tangible net worth, debt to tangible net worth, debt service coverage,
and restrictions on other borrowings. The Company is in compliance
with all covenants at July 28, 2002. In connection with this loan, the
Company paid approximately $45,000 in financing costs. Such costs are
included in Other Assets in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets at July 28, 2002 and July 29, 2001, and are being amortized
over the term of the loan (10 years).
(c) On October 19, 2001, the Company received $3,000,000 in proceeds from
the East Hempfield Township Industrial Development Authority Variable
Rate Demand/Fixed Rate Revenue Bonds Series of 2001 (the "Bonds"). The
Bonds are due in varying annual installments through October 1, 2021.
The initial installment of $95,000 is due October 1, 2002 and
increases each year until the final payment of $225,000 in 2021. The
interest rate on the Bonds is reset weekly at the prevailing market
rate of the BMA Municipal index. The initial rate of interest was
2.1%, which, after giving effect to a ten year interest rate swap
agreement (See Note O) becomes a fixed rate of 4.07%. The interest
rate at July 28, 2002 was 1.59%. The bond agreement requires a sinking
fund payment on a monthly basis to fund the annual Bonds redemption
installment. Proceeds from the Bonds were used for the
F-18
construction of a 15,000 square foot expansion of the Company's
facilities in Lancaster PA, and for manufacturing equipment.
The Bonds are secured by a letter of credit expiring October 18, 2006
and a mortgage on the related properties pledged as collateral. The
net book value of the land and building covered by the mortgage is
approximately $1,802,000 at July 28, 2002.
The Company paid interest of approximately $316,000 in 2002, $289,000 in
2001, and $1,200,000 in 2000.

NOTE J - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
In August 1985, the Board of Directors approved an Employee Savings Plan
("Plan") which qualified as a thrift plan under Section 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code. This Plan, as amended and restated, allows employees
to contribute between 2% and 15% of their salaries to the Plan. The
Company, at its discretion can contribute 100% of the first 2% of the
employees' contribution and 25% of the next 4%. Additional Company
contributions can be made depending on profits. The aggregate benefit
payable to an employee is dependent upon his rate of contribution, the
earnings of the fund, and the length of time such employee continues as a
participant. The Company has recognized expenses of approximately $533,000,
$164,000, and $415,000 under the Plan for the 52 weeks ended July 28, 2002,
July 29, 2001, and July 30, 2000, respectively.
F-19
Employees of General Microwave Corporation (" GMC") became eligible to
participate in the Plan as of May 1, 1999. The existing savings and
investing plan of GMC did not provide for company matching contributions
and has been frozen.
At the time of the acquisition, GMC also had a noncontributory defined
benefit pension plan covering all eligible employees of the company. As
part of the acquisition plan, the Company froze all benefits under the plan
effective April 30, 1999 and elected to terminate the plan as of November
1, 1999. All plan assets were liquidated and distributed to plan
participants or used to purchase annuities on their behalf. Excess plan
assets in the amount of approximately $470,000 were transferred in January
2001 directly into the Plan discussed above and inured to the benefit of
Plan employees.

NOTE K - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On January 16, 2001, the Board of directors approved the purchase of an
industrial parcel of land adjacent to the existing facility in Lancaster,
PA for $747,000 from a partnership of which the Chairman is general
partner. Settlement on the property was on July 27, 2001. The Company used
this land for a 15,000 square foot addition.
In connection with the move of the Amityville facilities of GMC in fiscal
1999, the Company entered into
F-20
a 10 year lease agreement with a partnership owned by the children of
certain officers of the Company. The lease provides for initial minimum
annual rent of $312,000 subject to escalation of approximately 4% annually
throughout the 10 year term. Additionally, in March 2000, The Company
entered into another 10 year lease with the same partnership for additional
space. The initial minimum annual rent of $92,000 is subject to escalation
of approximately 4% annually.

exercise prices ranging from $17.42 to $19.52, which expire at various
dates through May 21, 2007 were outstanding as of July 28, 2002.
NOTE M - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
The authorized shares of Common Stock of the Company is 20,000,000 shares.
On April 30, 2002, the Company completed the sale of 3,000,000 shares of
common stock to the public at $23.00. The Company received net proceeds of
approximately $64,812,000 after underwriting discounts and commissions and
other expenses of the offering.
On August 7, 2001 the Board of Directors declared a 3-for-2 stock split
effected as a stock dividend payable September 10, 2001 to holders of
record on August 28, 2001. The distribution increased the number of shares
outstanding from 7,027,553 to 10,541,329. The amount of $351,373 was
transferred from the additional paid-in capital to the common stock account
to record this distribution. All share and per share data (other than
common stock issued and outstanding on the 2000 Consolidated Balance Sheet
and 1999 and 2000 Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity),
including stock options and warrants, included in this annual report have
been restated to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis.
The Company has various fixed option plans which reserve shares of common
stock for issuance to executives, key employees and directors. The Company
applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for
these plans. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") was issued by the
FASB in 1995 and , if fully
F-21
adopted, changes the methods for recognition of cost on plans similar to
those of the Company. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only
provisions of SFAS 123. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been
recognized for the stock option plans. Pro forma information regarding net
income and earnings per share is required by Statement 123, and has been
determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options
under the fair value method of that Statement.
The fair value for options granted is estimated at the date of grant using
a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option valuation
model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options
which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition,
option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions
including the expected stock price volatility.
For purposes of computing pro-forma (unaudited) consolidated net earnings,
the following assumptions were used to calculate the fair value of each
option granted:

Had compensation cost for stock options granted in fiscal years 2002, 2001,
and 2000 been determined based on the fair value at the grant date
consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company's net income and
earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts
indicated below using the statutory income tax rate of 34% (in thousands
except per share data):

Basic $.43 $.73 $1.05
Diluted .40 .68 .96

The effects of applying the pro forma disclosures of SFAS 123 are not
likely to be representative of the effects on reported net income for
future years due to the various vesting schedules.
In September 2000, the Board of Directors approved the 2000 Stock Option
Plan which covers 1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Options
granted under the plan are non-qualified stock options. Under the terms of
the plan, the exercise price for options granted under the plan will be the
fair market value at the date of grant. The nature and terms of the options
to be granted are determined at the time of grant by the compensation
committee or the board of directors. The options expire no later than ten
years from the date of grant, subject to certain restrictions. Options for
1,010,250 and 375,000 shares were granted during the fiscal years ended
July 28, 2002 and July 29, 2001, respectively.
In April 1998, the Board of Directors approved the 1998 Stock Option Plan
which covers 2,250,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Options
granted under the plan may be incentive stock options qualified under
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or non-qualified stock
options. Under the terms of the plan, the exercise price for options
granted under the plan will be the fair market value at the date of grant.
Prices for incentive stock options granted to employees who own 10% or more
of the Company's stock are at least 110% of market value at date of grant.
The nature and terms of the options to be granted are determined at the
time of grant by the compensation committee or the board of directors. The
options
F-22
expire no later than ten years from the date of grant, subject to certain
restrictions. Options for 368,342, 440,250 and 969,750 shares were granted
during the fiscal years ended July 28, 2002, July 29, 2001 and July 30,
2000, respectively.
In May 1997, the Board of Directors approved the 1997 Stock Option Plan
which covers 2,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Options
granted under the plan may be incentive stock options qualified under

NOTE N - SIGNIFICANT SEGMENTS, MAJOR CUSTOMERS, AND EXPORT SALES
The Company's chief operating decision makers are considered to be the
Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The Company's Chairman and
CEO evaluate both consolidated and disaggregated financial information
consisting of revenue information in deciding how to allocate resources and
assess performance. The Chairman and CEO also use certain disaggregated
financial information for the Company's product groups. The Company does
not determine a measure of operating income or loss by product group. The
Company's product groups have similar long-term economic characteristics,
such as application, and are similar in regards to (a) nature of products
and production processes, (b) type of customers, and (c) method used to
distribute products. Accordingly, the Company operates as a single
integrated business and as such has one operating segment as a provider of
complex microwave radio frequency (RF) and millimeter wave components and
subsystems for defense and commercial customers worldwide. All of the
Company's revenues result from sales of its products.
Revenues for fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000 were as follows: defense
electronics, $80,615,000, $61,977,000 and $67,405,000, respectively; and
commercial technologies, $12,266,000, $14,517,000, and $3,132,000,
respectively.
Net sales to the U.S. Government in 2002, 2001 and 2000 accounted for
approximately 17%, 19% and 26% of net sales, respectively. No other
customer accounted for shipments in excess of 10% of consolidated net sales
in fiscal 2002, 2001 or 2000. Foreign sales amounted to approximately
$30,070,000, $20,683,000 and $16,506,000 in fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.
NOTE O - DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In October 2001, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a bank
pursuant to which it exchanged floating rate interest in connection with
the Bonds discussed in Note H on a notional amount of $3,000,000 for a
fixed rate of 4.07% for a 10 year period ending October 1, 2011. The
notional amount reduces each year in tandem with the annual installments
due on the Bonds. The fixing of the interest rate for this period offsets
the Company's exposure to the uncertainty of floating interest rates on the
Bonds, and as such has been designated as a cash flow hedge. The hedge is
deemed to be highly effective and any ineffectiveness will be recognized in
interest expense in the reporting period. The fair value of the interest
rate swap was a liability of $147,000 as of July 28, 2002. There was no
material hedge ineffectiveness related to cash flow
F-24
hedges during the period to be recognized in earnings. There was no gain or
loss reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings
during the fiscal year ended July 28, 2002 as a result of the
discontinuance of a cash flow hedge due to the probability of the original
forecasted transaction not occurring.
NOTE P - FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount reported in the balance
sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximated its fair value.
Available-for-sale securities: The fair value of available-for-sale
securities was based on quoted market prices.
Long-term debt: The fair value of the mortgage note and industrial
revenue bonds (including the related interest rate swap) were estimated
using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company's current
incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's financial instruments
are presented below (in thousands):
July 28, 2002
---------------------------
Carrying Amount Fair Value
--------------- ----------
Cash and cash equivalents $ 86,210 $ 86,210
Available-for-sale securities 46 46
Long-term debt 5,684 6,550
NOTE Q - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The Company entered into an agreement effective as of the close of business
September 30, 2000, to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common
stock of Terrasat, Inc. ("Terrasat"), a California corporation for cash in
the amount of $6,000,000, $3,000,000 of which was paid in December 2000 and
$3,000,000 of which was paid in December 2001. In addition, the agreement
provided for additional cash payments in the future up to $2,000,000, based
on gross revenues through December 31, 2001. The targeted gross revenues
under the agreement were not achieved, therefore no addition cash payments
were required.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No 144 "Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" which addresses financial accounting and
reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets
to be disposed of. SFAS No 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of," retains the fundamental provisions of Statement 121 for (a)
recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be
held and used and (b) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by
sale. SFAS 144 also supersedes the accounting and reporting provisions of
APB Opinion 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," for segments of a
business to be disposed of, but retains the requirement of Opinion 30 to
report discontinued operations separately from continuing operations and
extends that reporting to a component of an entity that either has been
disposed of (by sale, by abandonment, or in a distribution to owners) or is
classified as held for sale. The provisions of this statement were adopted
by the Company effective on July 30, 2001.
In January 2002 the Board of Directors of the Company decided to
discontinue the operations of Terrasat and to seek a buyer for the
business. The Company believed that Terrasat would not be able to generate
F-25
sufficient returns to justify continued investment due to the overcapacity
in the telecom industry and deteriorating economic conditions in Terrasat's
primary markets. Consequently, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements reflect Terrasat as discontinued operations in accordance with
SFAS No. 144. The assets and liabilities of Terrasat at July 29, 2001 have
been classified in the accompanying balance sheet as "Assets held for
sale", and "Liabilities held for sale." Results of operations and cash
flows of Terrasat have been classified as "Loss from discontinued
operations", and "Net cash provided by (used in) discontinued operations",
respectively.
The sale of certain assets and liabilities, and the business of Terrasat
was consummated on March 1, 2002, effective the close of business January
27, 2002, to certain current employees of Terrasat for cash and a note
which approximates the value of the net assets held for sale as of January
27, 2002 of $878,000.
The following table shows the components of assets and liabilities of
Terrasat held for sale as of July 29, 2001:
Assets held for sale:
Accounts receivable $ 978
Prepaid expenses 21
Inventory 1,371

NOTE R - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
The Company entered into an agreement as of September 1, 2002, to acquire
all of the issued and outstanding common stock of EW Simulation Technology,
Limited ("EWST"), a British company of Aldershot, UK, which is expected to
be operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary. EWST designs, develops and
produces electronic warfare simulator systems for prime defense contractors
and countries worldwide. The transaction, which closed on September 20,
2002, provides for payment of $3,000,000 in cash and a note for $1,500,000,
including interest at 1.8%, payable in annual installments of $500,000. The
transaction will be accounted for in accordance with the provisions of SFAS
No. 141, "Business Combinations", which requires that all business
combinations be accounted for using the purchase method. The allocation of
the aggregate estimated purchase price will be determined based on detailed
reviews of the fair value of assets acquired, including identified
intangible assets, and liabilities assumed. Any remaining excess cost over
the fair value of net assets acquired will be recognized as goodwill.
