LANDAUDER, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements - June 30, 1998
(Unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation
---------------------
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect
the financial position of Landauer, Inc. ("Landauer") as of June 30, 1998
and September 30, 1997, and the results of operations and cash flows for
the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. In
the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
financial position of Landauer as of June 30, 1998 and September 30,
1997, and the results of operations for the three-month and nine-month
periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, and cash flows for the nine-month
periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.
The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in
Note 1 to the Company's financial statements in the 1997 Landauer Annual
Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference.
The results of operations for the three-month and nine-month
periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Landauer's cash flow from operating activities for the nine months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 amounted to $4,998,000 and $74,000,
respectively. Investing activities for the nine months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997 resulted in net maturities of U.S. Treasury securities of
$7,370,000 in fiscal 1998 and net purchases of U.S. Treasury securities
of $82,000 in fiscal 1998. Offsetting these were acquisitions of
property, plant and equipment in the amount of $5,025,000 and $1,139,000,
respectively. The Company's financing activities were limited to
payments of cash dividends, offset by foreign dividends received from
Nagase-Landauer, Ltd., our Japanese joint venture.
LANDAUER, INC.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (Cont'd.)
The Company has no long-term liabilities and its requirement for cash
flow to support investing activities is generally limited. Capital
expenditures for the balance of fiscal 1998 are expected to amount to
approximately $2,000,000, principally for the acquisition of equipment to
support the company's introduction of the Luxel product line, the
development of supporting software systems, and computer hardware. The
Company anticipates that funds for these capital improvements will be
provided from operations.
The Company presently maintains no external sources of liquidity,
and, in the opinion of management, resources are adequate for projected
operations and capital spending programs, as well as continuation of the
regular cash dividend program.
Landauer requires limited working capital for its operations since
many of its customers pay for services in advance. Such advance payments
amounted to $9,817,000 and $8,710,000, respectively, as of June 30, 1998
and September 30, 1997, and are included in deferred contract revenue.
While these amounts represent approximately one-half of current
liabilities, such amounts do not represent a cash requirement.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 were 7% higher
compared with the same quarter a year ago. The increase in revenues was
primarily attributable to gains in the Company's traditional radiation
dosimetry business. Gross margins for the third fiscal quarter were
68.9% of revenues compared to 68.5% for the same period in fiscal 1997.
The increase in margins was primarily attributable to a price increase
effective April 1, 1998
Selling, general and administrative expenses were slightly lower in
the current quarter as a percent of revenues at 26.3% compared to 27.9%
for the third quarter of fiscal 1997. As a result operating income for
the third fiscal quarter of 1998 was 42.6% of revenues compared to 40.7%
for the same period last year. Income before income taxes was 45.9% of
revenues for the quarter just ended, compared to 44.5% for the third
fiscal quarter of 1997.
The effective tax rate for the Company during the third quarter of
fiscal 1998 was 36.7% compared with 35.6% for the same period last year.
Resulting net income of $3,098,000 for the third fiscal quarter of 1998
was 8% higher than $2,860,000 reported in fiscal 1997. Income per share
for the quarter was $.36 versus $.34 for the third fiscal quarter of
1997.
Revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 1998, were 8% higher
compared with the first nine months of fiscal 1997. The increase in
revenues was attributable to higher pricing in the Company's traditional
radiation dosimetry business, as well as higher international sales.
Gross margins for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 were 69.4% of
revenues, the same as last year.
LANDAUER, INC.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (Cont'd.)
Selling, general and administrative expenses were slightly lower
for the first nine months as a percent of revenues at 26.4% compared to
26.8% for the first nine months of 1997. As a result, operating income
for first nine months of 1998 was 43% of revenues compared to 42.7% for
the same period last year. Income before income taxes at 46.5% of
revenues for the first nine months was comparable to a year ago.
The effective tax rate for the Company during the first nine months
of fiscal 1998 was 36.6% compared with 36.0% for the first nine months of
1998. Resulting net income of $9,431,000 for the first nine months of
1998 was 7% higher than $8,808,000 reported in fiscal 1997. Income per
share thus far in fiscal 1998 was $1.10 versus $1.04 for the same period
in fiscal 1997.
