HOLOGIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (1)	Basis of Presentation 	The consolidated financial statements of Hologic, Inc. (the Company) presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 28, 1996, included in the Company's Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 27, 1996. 	The consolidated balance sheet as of March 29, 1997, the consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended March 29, 1997 and March 30, 1996 and, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended March 29, 1997 and March 30, 1996, are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of results for these interim periods. 	The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 29, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending September 27, 1997. (2)	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 	The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain accounting policies described in this and other notes to the consolidated financial statements. 	(a) Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first- in, first-out) or market and consist of the following: 	March 29, 	September 28, 	 1997 	1996 		 Raw materials and work-in-process	 	$7,793,071 $8,291,870 Finished goods	 	2,989,222 	2,831,118 ---------- ---------- 	$10,782,293 	$11,122,988 	Work-in-process and finished goods inventories consist of material, labor and manufacturing overhead. 	(b) Foreign Currency Translation: 	Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the end of the period, and revenues and expenses are translated at the weighted average exchange rate in effect during the period. Gains and losses from foreign currency translation are included in the stockholders' equity section under cumulative translation adjustment. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses arising primarily from settlement of sales transactions with the Company's foreign subsidiaries are included in results of operations. Transaction gains of $83,378 and $1,054 for the three and six months ended March 29, 1997, respectively, and transaction losses of $23,617 and $45,697 for the three and six months ended March 30, 1996, respectively, are included in other expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. (3)	Acquisition of FluoroScan Imaging Systems, Inc. 	 	On August 29, 1996, the Company acquired all the common stock of FluoroScan Imaging Systems, Inc. (FluoroScan) in exchange for 1,454,901 shares of the Company's common stock. FluoroScan is a manufacturer and distributor of low-intensity, real-time X-ray imaging devices. The merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests. Accordingly, the Company's financial statements have been restated to include the results of FluoroScan for all periods presented. FluoroScan's fiscal year-end has been changed from December 31 to the last Saturday in September to conform to the Company's fiscal year-end. Based on the difference in fiscal year-ends, results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 1995 for FluoroScan have been included in the consolidated statements of income for both fiscal 1995 and 1996. For the three months ended December 31, 1995, FluoroScan recorded total revenues of $3,877,968 and net income of $403,152. The accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows has been adjusted to eliminate this net income in 1996. (4)	Line of Credit 	The Company has an international line of credit with a bank for the equivalent of $3,000,000, which bears interest at PIBOR plus 1.50%. The borrowings under this line are denominated in the local currency of its European subsidiaries and are primarily used by these subsidiaries to settle intercompany sales. (5)	Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk 	In the six months ended March 29, 1997 and March 30, 1996, the Company had one customer who comprised 10% and 20% of product sales, respectively. This customer had amounts due to the Company of approximately $3,983,000 at March 29, 1997, all of which were within the payment terms of the sales. (6)	Patent Litigation 	The Company incurred litigation expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 relating primarily to a patent dispute with Lunar Corporation ("Lunar") and, to a lesser extent, a separate patent dispute with B.V. Optische Industrie de Oude Delft ("Oldelft"). In November 1995, a definitive settlement agreement was reached between the Company and Lunar settling all outstanding disputes relating to x-ray and ultrasound technology. The complaint brought by Oldelft against the Company was dismissed in December 1995. In April 1996, a motion for reconsideration filed by Oldelft was dismissed and in May 1996, the Company and Oldelft settled the matter. (7)	Recent Accounting Pronouncement 	In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS No. 123 establishes new financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based compensation plans. However, entities are allowed to elect whether to measure compensation expense for stock-based compensation under SFAS No. 123 or Accounting Principles Board ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The Company has elected to remain with the accounting under APB Opinion No. 25 and will make the required pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share in its September 27, 1997 financial statements as if the provisions of SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The potential impact of adopting this standard on the Company's pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share has not been quantified at this time. 	In March 1997, SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" was issued which establishes new standards for calculating and presenting earnings per share. The Company will adopt this new standard in its 1997 financial statements, which will require the reporting of diluted earnings per share and basic earnings per share. For the three months ended March 30, 1996 and March 29, 1997 and for the six months ended March 30, 1996 and March 29, 1997, diluted earnings per share would have been $.28, $.34, $.45 and $.66, respectively. Basic earnings per share would have been $.31, $.36, $.50, $.70, respectively, for the same periods. (8)	Rights Agreement 	On December 9, 1996, the Board of Directors increased the exercise price per common share under the Company's Rights Agreement from $15 per share to $90 per share. PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued) Item 2.		Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial 		Condition and Results of Operations HOLOGIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Results of Operations 	The Company's results of operations have and may continue to be subject to significant quarterly variation. The results for a particular quarter may vary due to a number of factors, including the overall state of health care and cost containment efforts, the development status and demand for drug therapies to treat osteoporosis, the use of mini c-arms in minimally-invasive surgical procedures, economic conditions in the Company's markets, the timing of orders, the timing of expenditures in anticipation of future sales, the mix of products sold by the Company, the introduction of new products and product enhancements by the Company or its competitors and pricing and other competitive conditions. 	Revenues. Total revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1997 increased 26% to $27,999,888 from $22,294,277 in the second quarter of fiscal 1996. Total revenues for the current six month period increased 34% to $55,109,631 from $40,986,421 for the first six months of fiscal 1996. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the total number of DXA bone densitometer product shipments in both the Company's domestic and international markets, particularly in the United States where product sales for the first half of the year increased 86% over the prior year. There was also a shift in product sales mix to the Company's latest line of bone densitometers, the ACCLAIM [trademark] series, which the Company began shipping in January 1995. The ACCLAIM products have higher average selling prices than the comparable DXA bone densitometers which they replace. For the current quarter, sales of the ACCLAIM product accounted for over 87% of product sales. Other revenues also increased slightly for the current three and six month periods due to increases in revenue relating to medical data management services provided to pharmaceutical companies to assist in the collection and monitoring of clinical trial data and an increase in royalties from the license of the Company's technology to Vivid Technologies, Inc. 	In the first six months of fiscal 1997, approximately 57% of product sales were generated in the United States, 21% in Europe, 14% in Asia and 8% in other international markets. In the first six months of fiscal 1996, approximately 53% of product sales were generated in the United States, 20% in Europe, 22% in Asia, and 5% in other international markets. 	The Company's sales of x-ray bone densitometers reached record levels as interest in bone diseases, such as osteoporosis, has grown, as new drug therapies have become available in the United States and other countries to treat these diseases and as the use of DXA systems to measure bone density has become more widespread. 	Costs and Expenses. The cost of product sales decreased as a percentage of product sales to 46% in the first three and six months of fiscal 1997, respectively, from 47% in the first three and six months of fiscal 1996. In the current quarter and six month period, these costs decreased as a percentage of product sales primarily due to (i) increased shipments of the latest family of DXA bone densitometers, the ACCLAIM series, which earns a better gross margin than the Company's older DXA systems, (ii) a volume increase in the number of DXA systems sold resulting in certain manufacturing efficiencies and (iii) an increase in sales by the Company's direct sales force (primarily in the United States) which results in higher average selling prices. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in costs as a percentage of product sales relating to the mini c-arm systems. 	Research and development expenses increased 20% to $2,205,646 (8% of total revenues) in the current quarter from $1,845,267 (8% of total revenues) in the second quarter of fiscal 1996. For the current six month period, research and development expenses increased 21% to $3,937,086 (7% of total revenues) from $3,245,003 (8% of total revenues) for the first six months of 1996. The increase in research and development expenses in 1997 is primarily due to the addition of engineering personnel working on the development of new products and the funding of Serex, Inc. to develop a biochemical marker strip test. 	 	Selling and marketing expenses increased 15% to $4,523,467 (17% of product sales) in the current quarter from $3,937,424 (18% of product sales) in the second quarter of fiscal 1996. For the current six month period, selling and marketing expenses increased 18% to $9,092,197 (17% of product sales) from $7,701,755 (20% of product sales) for the first six months of 1996. The increase in selling and marketing expenses in 1997 is primarily due to an increase in sales personnel and related expenses, marketing and promotional costs and increased sales commissions based on the higher sales volume in areas where commissions are generally paid, particularly in the United States. 	General and administrative expenses increased 23% to $2,791,206 (10% of total revenues) in the current quarter from $2,263,689 (10% of total revenues) in the second quarter of fiscal 1996. During the first six months of fiscal 1997, general and administrative expenses increased 32% to $5,698,647 (10% of total revenues) from $4,319,232 (11% of total revenues) in the first six months of 1996. The increase in general and administrative expenses in fiscal 1997 were primarily due to increased headcount and other compensation-related expenditures. 	Litigation expenses incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 were in connection with the Company's disputes with Lunar and Oldelft. These disputes were settled in November 1995 and May 1996, respectively. 	Interest Income. Interest income increased to $1,255,456 in the current quarter from $653,033 in the same quarter of fiscal 1996 and increased to $2,332,415 in the current six month period from $886,441 in the comparable period in fiscal 1996 as the Company earned a slightly higher rate of return on a higher investment base than in the prior year. In January 1996, the Company received proceeds of approximately $49.2 million from a public sale of Common Stock which increased the investment base. The Company also received approximately $8.0 million from the exercise of FluoroScan warrants in July 1996. The Company has invested these proceeds in investment grade corporate and government securities. In the current quarter, the Company also increased the number of long-term receivables to Latin American customers resulting in additional interest income. 	Other Income (Expense). The Company recognized other income of $54,736 for the second quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to incurring other expense of $58,612 in the second quarter of fiscal 1996. For the first six months of fiscal 1997 and 1996, the Company incurred other expense of $61,595 and $124,206, respectively. In the current quarter, the other income is primarily related to foreign currency exchange gains arising from the Company's U.S. dollar denominated sales transactions to its European subsidiaries partially offset by interest costs on the line of credit established for use by these subsidiaries. For the current six month period, these expenses were primarily attributable to the interest costs on the line of credit. For the second quarter and for the first six months of fiscal 1996, these expenses were primarily attributable to the interest costs on the line of credit and, to a lesser extent, foreign currency exchange losses. The Company's European subsidiaries utilize the line of credit to borrow funds in their local currencies to pay for all intercompany sales, thereby reducing the foreign currency exposure on those transactions. To the extent that foreign currency exchange rates fluctuate in the future, the Company may be exposed to continued financial risk. Although the Company has established a borrowing line denominated in the two foreign currencies (the French Franc and the Belgian Franc) in which the subsidiaries currently conduct business to minimize this risk, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful or can fully hedge its foreign currency exposure. 	Provision for Income Taxes. The Company's effective tax rate was 36% in the first six months of fiscal 1997 and 30% for the comparable period in fiscal 1996. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the significant increase in U.S. income. The effective tax rate is less than the combined Federal and state statutory rates due primarily to the favorable Federal and state tax treatment afforded the Company's foreign sales corporation and the favorable state tax treatment of certain of the Company's interest income. Liquidity and Capital Resources 	At March 29, 1997, working capital was approximately $102 million, and cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $76 million. The Company has funded its operations primarily through cash flows from operations and the issuance of securities. The cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance was unchanged from September 28, 1996 primarily due to operating activities which included net income of $9.1 million and an increase in the Company's accrued expenses, which were offset by an increase in accounts receivable and long-term investments. The increase in accrued expenses and accounts receivable reflects the increase in the Company's sales activity. At March 29, 1997, one customer had accounts receivable outstanding of approximately $4.0 million which were within their payment terms. The Company finances certain sales to Latin America over a two to three year time frame. At March 29, 1997, the Company had long-term accounts receivable outstanding of approximately $2.2 million relating to these sales which were included in other assets. In the first six months of 1997, the Company purchased approximately $950,000 of property and equipment, primarily computers and other equipment associated with the hiring of additional personnel. 	The Company does not currently have any significant capital commitments and believes that existing sources of liquidity, funds expected to be generated from operations and a $3.0 million credit line for use by its European subsidiaries, will provide adequate cash to fund the Company's anticipated working capital and other cash needs for the foreseeable future. Recent Accounting Pronouncement 	In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS No. 123 establishes new financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based compensation plans. However, entities are allowed to elect whether to measure compensation expense for stock-based compensation under SFAS No. 123 or Accounting Principles Board ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The Company has elected to remain with the accounting under APB Opinion No. 25 and will make the required pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share in its September 27, 1997 financial statements as if the provisions of SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The potential impact of adopting this standard on the Company's pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share has not been quantified at this time. 	In March 1997, SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" was issued which establishes new standards for calculating and presenting earnings per share. The Company will adopt this new standard in its 1997 financial statements, which will require the reporting of diluted earnings per share and basic earnings per share. For the three months ended March 30, 1996 and March 29, 1997 and for the six months ended March 30, 1996 and March 29, 1997, diluted earnings per share would have been $.28, $.34, $.45 and $.66, respectively. Basic earnings per share would have been $.31, $.36, $.50, $.70, respectively, for the same periods. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION HOLOGIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Item 1.	Legal Proceedings.
