NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of SEC Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the
condensed interim consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the information required to be
included. Operating results for the three-month period ended January 2, 2000 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future
periods, including the full fiscal year. Reference should also be made to the
Annual Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes thereto, and Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
October 3, 1999.
The balance sheet data at October 3, 1999 was derived from audited financial
statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles.
2. NET (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE
Basic net (loss) income per share has been computed using the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share
includes the dilutive effect of common stock options and warrants using the
treasury stock method. The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share
(EPS) for the three-month periods ended January 2, 2000 and January 3, 1999 is
as follows:

5. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
During fiscal 1999, the Company conducted a comprehensive review of its
operations. Based on this review it restructured its European, South American
and ADAC Medical Technologies ("AMT") businesses. As a result, the Company
recorded charges in fiscal 1999 of $4.1million. Of this amount, $2.5 million
relating to the restructuring of the European and South American businesses was
recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 1999. An amount of $0.4 million was
charged against the liability during the three months ended January 2, 2000,
representing cash payments made. As of January 2, 2000, $1.5 million remained in
the accrual, comprised of $1.0 million for severance expenses, $0.3m for legal
and consulting, and $0.2 million for facilities and other costs associated with
the restructuring. The Company currently expects that these restructuring costs
will be paid over the remaining three quarters of fiscal 2000.
6. CREDIT AND BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS
As of January 2, 2000 the Company had a $75.0 million revolving credit
facility with a bank syndicate. The credit facility offers borrowings in either
U.S. dollars or in foreign currencies and expires on March 29, 2002. The Company
pays commitment fees and interest on its borrowings based on its debt level in
relation to its cash flow. Commitment fees range from 0.25% to 0.75% of unused
commitment, and interest rates are based on the banks' prime rate or Libor plus
rates ranging from 1.0% to 2.5%. At January 2, 2000, the Company had
$32.0 million available for borrowing under this facility. Due to the settlement
of litigation

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
6. CREDIT AND BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS (CONTINUED)
and related charges, the results of the Company's operations in the first
quarter of fiscal 2000 caused the Company to be out of compliance with it's
financial covenants in the facility. On January 28, 2000, the Company and the
bank syndicate signed an amendment increasing the credit facility from
$75.0 million to $85.0 million and modifying the financial covenants,
retroactively to include the first fiscal quarter of 2000, to be more reflective
of the Company's recent financial performance. The Company is in compliance with
these modified covenants in the first quarter of fiscal 2000.
7. LITIGATION
Commencing in December 1998, a total of eleven class action lawsuits were
filed in federal court by or on behalf of stockholders who purchased Company
stock between January 10, 1996 and December 28, 1998. These actions named as
defendants the Company and certain of its present and former officers and
directors. The complaints alleged various violations of the federal securities
laws in connection with the restatement of the Company's financial statements
and sought unspecified but potentially significant damages. In April 1999, these
actions were ordered consolidated and, in July 1999, the plaintiffs filed a
consolidated amended complaint. A stockholder derivative action, purportedly on
behalf of the Company and naming as defendants Company officers and directors
was also filed in state court seeking recovery for the Company based on stock
sales by these defendants during the above time period.
On January 13, 2000, ADAC reached agreements-in-principle to settle these
actions. Pursuant to the class action settlement, the plaintiff class will
receive $20 million in full settlement of their claims. Final settlements are
contingent upon the satisfaction of numerous conditions, including among others,
final court approval.. As a result of having reached these agreements in
principle, the Company recorded a non-ordinary pre-tax charge of $10.3 million
in the first quarter of fiscal 2000, representing its total costs for the
settlements after contribution by the insurance company, including $1.3 million
for the related legal fees to bring these matters to a conclusion.
The Company has been informed that the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) has issued a Formal Order of Private Investigation in
connection with matters relating to the Company's previously announced
restatement of its financial results for 1996, 1997 and the first three quarters
of 1998. The Company is continuing to cooperate with the SEC. The Company is
unable to predict the outcome of the investigation at this time.
The Company is also a defendant in various legal proceedings incidental to
its business. Management is of the opinion that any liability resulting from
these claims would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
8. INCOME TAXES
The Company uses the liability method to account for income taxes. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the
amounts expected to be realized. The (benefit) provision for income taxes for
the three-month periods ended January 2, 2000 and January 3, 1999 are based on
the estimated effective income tax rates for the fiscal years ending October 1,
2000 and ended October 3, 1999 of 37% and 38%, respectively.

9. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company has three reportable segments, Medical Systems ("MS"), Radiation
Therapy Planning ("RTP") and Health Care Information Systems ("HCIS"). The
Company is organized on the basis of products and services. The Company's
reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products
and include corporate allocations of general and administrative expenses. The
following table summarizes information about the Company's reportable segments
for the three-month periods ended January 2, 2000 and January 3, 1999. Asset

10. COMPREHENSIVE (LOSS) INCOME
Effective September 28, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This
Statement establishes standards for reporting and displaying income and its
components (revenue, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general
purpose financial statements. This Statement requires the classification of
items of comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and the
accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately in the equity
section of the balance sheet. The Company's accumulated other comprehensive
(loss) income consists solely of translation adjustments. Comprehensive (loss)
income for the three-month periods ended January 2, 2000 and January 3, 1999 is

11. RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 133"), was issued and
is effective for fiscal years commencing after June 15, 2000. The Company will

Company does not hold any derivative instruments or engage in any hedging
activities.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes thereto
contained elsewhere within this document. Operating results for the three-month
period ended January 2, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for any future periods, including the full fiscal year.
Reference should also be made to the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements,
Notes thereto, and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended October 3, 1999.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JANUARY 2, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED
JANUARY 3, 1999
Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 were $90.3 million, a decrease
of 4%, or $4.0 million, from the first quarter of fiscal 1999 revenues of
$94.3 million. Revenues are primarily generated from the sale and servicing of
medical imaging products. Medical Systems revenues represented 76% and 74% of
the Company's total revenues for the first quarters of fiscal 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The Company's Radiation Therapy Products revenues represented
approximately 14% and 18% of the Company's total revenues for the first quarters
of fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company's Health Care Information
Systems revenues represented approximately 10% and 8% of the Company's total
revenues for the first quarters of fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively.
NON-ORDINARY CHARGES AND EXPENSES
LITIGATION
Commencing in December 1998, a total of eleven class action lawsuits were
filed in federal court by or on behalf of stockholders who purchased Company
stock between January 10, 1996 and December 28, 1998. These actions named as
defendants the Company and certain of its present and former officers and
directors. The complaints alleged various violations of the federal securities
laws in connection with the restatement of the Company's financial statements
and sought unspecified but potentially significant damages. In April 1999, these
actions were ordered consolidated and, in July 1999, the plaintiffs filed a
consolidated amended complaint. A stockholder derivative action, purportedly on
behalf of the Company and naming as defendants Company officers and directors
was also filed in state court seeking recovery for the Company based on stock
sales by these defendants during the above time period.
On January 13, 2000, ADAC reached agreements-in-principle to settle these
actions. Pursuant to the class action settlement, the plaintiff class will
receive $20 million in full settlement of their claims. Final settlements are
contingent upon the satisfaction of numerous conditions, including among others,
final court approval.. As a result of having reached these agreements in
principle, the Company recorded a non-ordinary pre-tax charge of $10.3 million
in the first quarter of fiscal 2000, representing its total costs for the
settlements after contribution by the insurance company, including $1.3 million
for the related legal fees to bring these matters to a conclusion.
The Company has been informed that the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) has issued a Formal Order of Private Investigation in
connection with matters relating to the Company's previously announced
restatement of its financial results for 1996, 1997 and the first three quarters
of 1998. The Company is continuing to cooperate with the SEC. The Company is
unable to predict the outcome of the investigation at this time.
The Company is also a defendant in various legal proceedings incidental to
its business. Management is of the opinion that any liability resulting from
these claims would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
11
RESTRUCTURING
During fiscal 1999, the Company conducted a comprehensive review of its
operations. Based on this review it restructured its European, South American
and ADAC Medical Technologies ("AMT") businesses. As a result, the Company
recorded charges in fiscal 1999 of $4.1million. Of this amount, $2.5 million
relating to the restructuring of the European and South American businesses was
recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 1999. An amount of $0.4 million was
charged against the liability during the three months ended January 2, 2000,
representing cash payments made. As of January 2, 2000, $1.5 million remained in
the accrual, comprised of $1.0 million for severance expenses, $0.3m for legal
and consulting, and $0.2 million for facilities and other costs associated with
the restructuring. The Company currently expects that these restructuring costs
will be paid over the remaining three quarters of fiscal 2000.
MEDICAL SYSTEMS
Medical Systems includes revenues from the sale of the Company's nuclear
medicine products and customer service related to those products. Revenues also
include sales from the Company's ADAC Medical Technologies ("AMT") products.
Summary information related to Medical Systems revenues and gross margins for
the three-month period ended January 2, 2000, compared to the corresponding
period in fiscal 1999 is as follows:

Medical Systems' product revenues decreased 4% for the three-month period
ended January 2, 2000, from the same period in fiscal 1999. Revenues were
disproportionately higher in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 due to the
Company's shipment during that quarter of a large volume of backordered products
that had been released in late September 1998. In addition, revenues were lower
in fiscal 2000 as pricing pressures resulted in lower average selling prices on
sales of dual head cameras. The lower revenue on dual head camera sales was
partially offset by increased sales volume of C-PET-TM-, which has a higher
average selling price. The proportion of the Company's revenues derived from
Europe increased due to increased penetration of the Forte-TM- in the first
quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1999.
Gross margins for Medical Systems products decreased 9 percentage points, or
by 24%, in the three-month period ended January 2, 2000, compared to the
corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The
12
decrease in margins resulted primarily from competitive pricing pressures and
additional sales of the higher cost Forte. In addition the Company refined it's
estimate and recorded an additional warranty provision of approximately
$1.0 million during the three-month period ended January 2, 2000. Also, costs
related to the recently acquired UGM Medical Systems product line, including
amortization of acquired technology costs were included in the current period.
Medical Systems service revenues for the three-month period ended
January 2, 2000, increased 3% over the same period in fiscal 1999. The increase
resulted from a higher customer base offset by a decrease in sales related to
upgrades for Year 2000 compliance. Gross margins improved 1% for the three-month
period ended January 2, 2000, compared to the same period of fiscal 1999.
RADIATION THERAPY PRODUCTS ("RTP")
RTP revenues are generated primarily from the sale and support of the
Company's Pinnacle(3) radiation therapy planning system. RTP revenues also
include sales from the Company's CT refurbishing business unit, ARS. Summary
information related to RTP revenues and gross margins for the three-month period
ended January 2, 2000, compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 1999 is as
follows:

RTP product revenues decreased 30% for the three-month period ended
January 2, 2000, from the same period in fiscal 1999. The decrease for the
three-month period resulted primarily from a lower volume of shipments of the
Pinica1(3) and lower refurbishment revenues in the first three months of fiscal
2000. This was partially offset by the higher level of revenue in Europe due to
the timing of installations in the current period. Additionally the Company
believes that revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 was unusually high and
that the revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 is more reflective of the
recent trend. Product revenue reported for the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 was
$11.6 million.
Gross margins for RTP for the three-months ended January 2, 2000 remained
relatively constant at 61% compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 1999.
Although there was some erosion in gross margin in the first quarter of fiscal
2000 as the Pinnacle(3) product line faced increased pricing pressure, this was
offset by a change in product mix as the lower margin ARS refurbishing products
represented a smaller share of the revenue compared to the same period in fiscal
1999.
13
RTP service revenues increased 38% for the three-month period ended
January 2, 2000, compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 1999 due
primarily to the commencement of separate RTP service contracts for software
support. Service gross margins increased from 30% in the first three months of
fiscal 1999 to 53% in the first three months of fiscal 2000 due to the increase
in the number of contracts, leveraging the cost structure.
HEALTH CARE INFORMATION SYSTEMS ("HCIS")
HCIS revenues are generated from the sale and support of radiology and
cardiology information systems and the support of the Company's legacy
laboratory information systems. Summary information related to HCIS revenues and
gross margins for the three-month period ended January 2, 2000, compared to the
corresponding period in fiscal 1999 is as follows:

HCIS product revenues increased 80% for the three-month period ended
January 2, 2000, compared to the same period in fiscal 1999. The increase
resulted primarily from additional sales of QuadRIS-TM- for the radiology
product line, and also from increased sales in cardiology and the addition of
the DINPACs-TM- product. These increases were partially offset by diminishing
revenues from the discontinued Labstat-TM- product When compared to the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1999 revenues of $7.4 million however, revenue has declined by
22% in the three month period January 2, 2000. This is primarily due to slower
bookings, which the Company believes is a result of customers delaying their
purchase decision due to year 2000 concerns. Gross margins for HCIS for the
three-month period ended January 2, 2000 increased 3 percentage points, or 8%,
from the corresponding period in fiscal 1999. This is primarily due to the
higher revenue leveraging the substantially fixed product cost structure,
partially offset by a change in mix to lower margin cardiology products in the
first quarter of fiscal 2000.
HCIS service revenues decreased for the three-month period ended January 2,
2000, compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 1999, due primarily to
lower service revenues from the discontinued Labstat-TM- product. Service gross
margins increased for the three-month period ended January 2, 2000, compared to
the corresponding period in fiscal 1999, due to improved third party maintenance
fees.

OPERATING AND OTHER EXPENSES:
As a percentage of the Company's revenues, operating and other expenses for
the three-month periods ended January 2, 2000 and January 3, 1999 are as
follows:

Settlement of litigation and related charges......... 11.4% 0.0%
---- ----
42.4% 33.0%
==== ====
Other expense, net..................................... 1.0% 1.3%
Marketing and sales expenses for the three-month period ended January 2,
2000 decreased $0.9 million from the corresponding period in the prior fiscal
year. The decrease came primarily from international operations where
restructuring actions taken in fiscal 1999 resulted in cost savings.
Research and development expenses, net of software capitalization, for the
three-month period ended January 2, 2000 increased $0.7 million over the
corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The expense increase is the
result of fewer software projects meeting technical feasibility during the first
quarter of fiscal 2000, therefore fewer projects met the criteria for
capitalization. Several of the projects being capitalized during the first
quarter of fiscal 1999 were completed late in fiscal 1999. Capitalized software
costs were $2.1 million and $3.0 million in the first quarters of fiscal 2000
and 1999, respectively.
General and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended
January 2, 2000 decreased $0.5 million from the corresponding period in the
prior fiscal year. The expense decreased because the first quarter of fiscal
1999 included expenses related to the restatement of the Company's financial
statements. This decrease was partially offset by investments in infrastructure
in Finance and Administration and UGM in the first quarter of fiscal 2000.
Goodwill amortization remained constant at $0.5 million for the three-month
period ended January 2, 2000 compared to the corresponding period of fiscal
1999. There was increased amortization of goodwill in the first quarter of
fiscal 2000 related to the acquisition of UGM at the end of fiscal 1999 offset
by earlier acquisitions reaching the end of their amortization life.
The Company recorded a settlement charge in the first quarter of fiscal 2000
of $10.3 million representing its total costs, including legal fees, to settle
the consolidated class action lawsuit and related derivative litigation pending
against the Company. The settlements are contingent upon the satisfaction of
numerous conditions, including among others, final court approval.
The Company recorded a restructuring charge in the first quarter of fiscal
1999 of $2.5 million related to its international operations in order to improve
the operations' profitability.
Interest and other expense, net, which primarily consists of interest
expense and foreign currency translation gains and losses, decreased
$0.3 million for the three-month period ended January 2, 2000 compared to the
corresponding period in the prior fiscal year due to lower interest expense and
a foreign currency gain in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to a
foreign currency loss in the first quarter of fiscal 1999.
15
INCOME TAXES:
The Company's effective tax rate as a percentage of pretax income was 37%
for the first three months of fiscal 2000, compared to 38% for the first three
months of fiscal 1999. The Company currently expects the fiscal 2000 effective
tax rate to be between 35% and 40%.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
The Company believes its available cash and cash equivalents, cash to be
generated primarily from operations, and its available credit lines, will
provide adequate funds to finance the Company's operations in fiscal 2000. If
necessary, the Company will seek to increase its credit lines to support the
Company's future growth. There can be no assurance that credit lines sufficient
to satisfy the Company's cash requirements will be available on terms acceptable
to the Company, if at all.
Cash provided by operating activities was $10.6 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 2000. The primary source of cash was provided by operating profits of
$8.1 million, after giving effect to non-cash charges of $12.5 million (net).
Net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $2.5 million increased the
amount of cash provided from operations. The primary changes in operating assets
and liabilities were an increase in accounts receivable of $5.7 million, a
decrease in inventory of $4.3 million, an increase in accounts payable of
$7.7 million and a decrease in other accrued liabilities of $3.4 million.
Cash used in operating activities was $14.0 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1999. The primary source of cash was the net income from operations of
$3.9 million, which included $6.5 million (net) of non-cash charges. Net changes
in operating assets and liabilities of $24.4 million decreased the amount of
cash provided from operations. The decrease was primarily related to the
$24.0 million increase in accounts receivable due to a decrease in accounts
receivable sold to third party finance companies and, to a lesser degree,
increased sales and slower collections in the period.
Cash of $4.1 million was used for investing activities in the first quarter
of fiscal 2000. This activity consisted primarily of $1.4 million, $2.1 million
and $0.6 million for capital equipment expenditures, capitalized software
expenditures and an increase in other assets and intangibles, respectively. Cash
of $5.8 million was used for investing activities in the first quarter of fiscal
1999, principally for capital equipment expenditures and capitalized software
expenditures partially offset by a decrease in other assets and intangibles.
Financing activities used $8.6 million of cash in the first quarter of
fiscal 2000. This was attributable to $8.9 million of decreased borrowings,
$0.3 million payment of capital lease obligations and $0.6 million of proceeds
from common stock issued to employees under the Company's employee stock
purchase and option plans. Financing activities provided $16.5 million of cash
in the first quarter of fiscal 1999. This was attributable to $14.9 million of
increased borrowings and $1.6 million of proceeds from common stock issued to
employees under the Company's employee stock purchase and option plans.
As of January 2, 2000 the Company had a $75.0 million revolving credit
facility with a bank syndicate. The credit facility offers borrowings in either
U.S. dollars or in foreign currencies and expires on March 29, 2002. The Company
pays commitment fees and interest on its borrowings based on its debt level in
relation to its cash flow. Commitment fees range from 0.25% to 0.75% of unused
commitment, and interest rates are based on the banks' prime rate or Libor plus
rates ranging from 1.0% to 2.5%. At January 2, 2000, the Company had
$32.0 million available for borrowing under this facility. Due to the settlement
of litigation and related charges, the results of the Company's operations in
the first quarter of fiscal 2000 caused the Company to be out of compliance with
it's financial covenants in the facility. The banks waived this default for the
first fiscal quarter of 2000. On January 28, 2000, the Company and the bank
syndicate signed an amendment increasing the credit facility from $75.0 million
to $85.0 million and modifying the financial covenants to be more reflective of
the Company's recent financial performance. The Company is in compliance with
these modified covenants in the first quarter of fiscal 2000.
16
The Company's liquidity is affected by many factors, some based on the
normal ongoing operations of the business and others related to the
uncertainties of the industry and global economies. Although the Company's cash
requirements will fluctuate based on the timing and extent of these factors,
management believes that cash generated from operations, together with the
liquidity provided by existing cash balances and borrowing capability, will be
sufficient to satisfy commitments for capital expenditures and other cash
requirements for the next fiscal year. However, the Company may need to increase
its sources of capital through additional borrowings or the sale of securities
in response to changing business conditions or to pursue new business
opportunities. There can be no assurance that such additional sources of capital
will be available on terms favorable to the Company, if at all.
BUSINESS CONSIDERATIONS
From time to time, the Company may disclose, through press releases, filings
with the SEC or otherwise, certain matters that constitute forward looking
statements within the meaning of the Federal securities laws. These statements,
including the forward looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q, are
subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results
to differ materially from those projected, including without limitation those
set forth below. These forward looking statements include statements concerning
the Company's future bookings, revenue, expenses and earnings, the establishment
of additional reserves and the taking of non-ordinary charges. Factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in such
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the existence of
significant competition in each of the business segments in which the Company
conducts business; the Company's dependence on successfully developing,
introducing and commercializing new products and developing enhancements to
existing products; the collectibility of the Company's receivables, changes to
the Company's operating structure and charges and dislocations that may result
therefrom; the impact of international economic conditions on the Company's
business; and a number of factors that can introduce variability in the
Company's operating results, including the timing of product orders, shipments,
and installations. Further information on these and other factors is found
below. All forward-looking statements are based on information available to the
Company on the date hereof, and the Company assumes no obligation to update such
statements.
LITIGATION
Commencing in December 1998, a total of eleven class action lawsuits were
filed in federal court by or on behalf of stockholders who purchased Company
stock between January 10, 1996 and December 28, 1998. These actions named as
defendants the Company and certain of its present and former officers and
directors. The complaints alleged various violations of the federal securities
laws in connection with the restatement of the Company's financial statements
and sought unspecified but potentially significant damages. In April 1999, these
actions were ordered consolidated and, in July 1999, the plaintiffs filed a
consolidated amended complaint. A stockholder derivative action, purportedly on
behalf of the Company and naming as defendants Company officers and directors
was also filed in state court seeking recovery for the Company based on stock
sales by these defendants during the above time period.
On January 13, 2000, ADAC reached agreements-in-principle to settle these
actions. Pursuant to these settlements, the plaintiff class will receive
$20 million in full settlement of their claims. Final settlements are contingent
upon the satisfaction of numerous conditions, including among others, approvals
by the Federal Court in the Northern District of California. On February 9, 2000
the agreements in principle were approved by the Board of Directors subject to
the finalization of remaining contingencies by an appointed member. As a result
of having reached these agreements, the Company recorded a non-ordinary pre-tax
charge of $10.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000, representing its
total costs for the settlements after contribution by the insurance company,
including $1.3 million for the related legal fees to bring these matters to a
conclusion.
17
The Company has been informed that the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) has issued a Formal Order of Private Investigation in
connection with matters relating to the Company's previously announced
restatement of its financial results for 1996, 1997 and the first three quarters
of 1998. The Company is continuing to cooperate with the SEC. The Company is
unable to predict the outcome of the investigation at this time.
The Company is also a defendant in various legal proceedings incidental to
its business. Management is of the opinion that any liability resulting from
these claims would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
COMPETITION
The markets served by the Company are characterized by rapidly evolving
technology, intense competition and pricing pressure. There are a number of
companies that currently offer, or are in the process of developing, products
that compete with products offered by the Company. Some of the Company's
competitors have substantially greater capital, engineering, manufacturing and
other resources than the Company. These competitors could develop technologies
and products that are more effective than those currently used or marketed by
the Company or that could render the Company's products obsolete or
noncompetitive, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business.
SOUTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS
A significant number of the Company's customers in its principal South
American markets of Brazil, Argentina and Colombia are delinquent in making
periodic payments due under the terms of sales previously made to them, many of
which were supported by third-party financing arrangements that involve full or
partial recourse to the Company. Deteriorating economic conditions and currency
devaluations occurring primarily during fiscal 1999, and ineffective monitoring
of delinquencies and collection efforts by the Company, may have all contributed
to delays in the collection of accounts receivable from customers in these
markets. During fiscal 1999 the Company renewed collection efforts and completed
an evaluation of each receivable balance and recourse obligation to determine
the level of reserves required for these customers. As a result of this
evaluation, the Company revised its estimate of the recoverability of its South
American receivables and recourse obligations during fiscal 1999 and provided
additional reserves of $8.9 million. As of January 2, 2000 the Company had net
South American receivables of $1.6 million and recourse contingencies of
$1.2 million.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The design, clinical activities, manufacturing, labeling, distribution,
sale, marketing, advertising and promotion of the Company's products are subject
to extensive and rigorous governmental regulation in the United States and
foreign countries. In the United States and certain foreign countries, the
process of obtaining and maintaining required regulatory clearances or approvals
is lengthy, expensive and uncertain. There can be no assurance that any
necessary clearance or approval will be granted to the Company or that FDA or
other regulatory agency review will not involve delays adversely affecting the
Company. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable regulatory
requirements could result in enforcement actions including Warning Letters, as
well as civil penalties, injunctions, suspensions or losses of regulatory
clearances, product recalls, seizure or administrative detention of products,
operating restrictions through consent decrees or otherwise, and criminal
prosecution, which could have a material adverse effect upon the Company.
In mid-1998, the State of California, under a contract with the FDA,
completed a routine inspection of ADAC's facility in Milpitas, California. The
state investigator issued a FDA Form 483 containing observations of
non-compliance of the recently implemented QSR. The state investigator also
placed a temporary shipment hold on Pinnacle(3) pending the Company
satisfactorily responding to the State's
18
concerns regarding the Company's quality systems. The Company promptly responded
to the FDA and the State and initiated a number of corrective actions. The State
lifted the Pinnacle(3) shipment hold on August 28, 1998 and, in September 1998,
ADAC received a letter from the FDA indicating that the Company had adequately
responded to the FDA's concerns. Although the Company was deemed to have
adequately responded to the State and FDA following the foregoing inspections,
the Company is responsible for the full implementation of all corrective
actions. In addition, as all companies are, the Company remains subject to
periodic inspections in the future and there can be no assurance as to the
timing or outcome of any subsequent inspection. The scope of any re-inspection
could be more comprehensive than the inspection of the Company's Milpitas
facility, and there can be no assurance that the FDA, upon re-inspection, will
deem the Company's corrective actions to be adequate or that additional
corrective action, in areas not addressed in the Form 483, will not be required.
Any failure by the Company to fully implement the required corrective actions or
to comply with any other applicable regulatory requirements could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's ability to continue to manufacture and
distribute its products, and in more serious cases, could result in seizure,
recall, injunction and/or civil fines. Any of the foregoing, would have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
The Company is also subject to FTC restrictions on advertising and numerous
federal, state and local laws relating to such matters as safe working
conditions, manufacturing practices, environmental protection and disposal of
hazardous substances. Changes in existing requirements, adoption of new
requirements or failure to comply with applicable requirements could have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
DEPENDENCE ON NEW PRODUCTS AND PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS
ADAC's success is dependent upon the successful development, introduction
and commercialization of new products and the development of enhancements to
existing products. Because the markets in which the Company competes are highly
competitive, the Company must continue to develop and successfully commercialize
innovative new products and product enhancements such as Forte, Skylite and
ENVOI in order to pursue its growth strategy. The development of new products
and product enhancements entails considerable time and expense, including
research and development costs, and the time, expense and uncertainty involved
in obtaining any necessary regulatory clearances. Failure of the Company to
develop, market and sell new products and enhancements effectively in future
periods could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations and financial condition.
FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS
The Company's future operating results may vary substantially from period to
period. The timing and amount of revenues are subject to a number of factors
that make estimation of revenues and operating results prior to the end of the
quarter uncertain. The timing of revenues can be affected by delays in product
introductions, shipments and installation scheduling, as well as general
economic and industry conditions. Furthermore, of the orders received by the
Company in any fiscal quarter, a disproportionately large percentage has
typically been received and shipped toward the end of that quarter, which is
typical for the industry. Accordingly, results for a given quarter can be
adversely affected if there is a substantial order shortfall late in that
quarter. In addition, the Company's bookings and backlog cannot necessarily be
relied upon as an accurate predictor of future revenues as the timing of such
revenues is dependent upon completion of customer site preparation and
construction, installation scheduling, receipt of applicable regulatory
approvals, customer financing and other factors. Accordingly, there can be no
assurance that orders will mature into revenue. The Company has accounts
receivable due from customers in Latin America. Recent changes in economic
conditions in that region, including the devaluation of Brazilian currency, may
adversely affect the Company's ability to collect these accounts receivable. If
the Company were unable to collect a substantial majority of these accounts
receivable, the Company's results of operations for a quarterly period could be
adversely affected.
19
MATERIAL WEAKNESSES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS
After completion of their audit of the results of the Company's 1998 fiscal
year, the Company's independent accountants reported to the Company's audit
committee that they had found material weaknesses in the Company's internal
accounting controls. Following receipt of this report, the Company retained a
nationally recognized accounting firm other than its independent auditors to
review its controls. The Company has further engaged this firm to recommend to
the Company suggested improvements in these controls and to assist the Company
in implementing them.
The Company believes that it has already taken steps to remedy certain
weaknesses in its control functions, and that improvements already in place,
coupled with the continuous improvements the Company is making, should
substantially improve the timeliness and accuracy of the Company's internal
financial reporting and monitoring functions.
RISKS RELATED TO ACQUISITIONS
In the past two years, the Company has acquired a number of businesses, and
anticipates that it may continue to acquire businesses whose products and
services complement the Company's businesses. Acquisitions involve numerous
risks, including, among other things, difficulties in successfully integrating
the businesses (including products and services, as well as sales and marketing
efforts), failure to retain existing customers or attract new customers to the
acquired business operations, failure to retain key technical and management
personnel, coordinating geographically separated organizations, and diversion of
ADAC management attention. These risks, as well as liabilities of any acquired
business (whether known or unknown at the time of acquisition), could have a
material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of
the Company, including adverse short-term effects on its reported operating
results. The Company seeks to mitigate these risks by taking reserves when
appropriate in connection with these acquisitions. In addition, the Company has
in the past and may in the future issue stock as consideration for acquisitions.
Future sales of shares of the Company's stock issued in such acquisitions could
adversely affect or cause fluctuations in the market price of the Company's
Common Stock.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The following statements constitute "Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure" within
the meaning of the Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act. Many
currently installed computer systems and software products were coded to accept
only 2 digit entries in the date code field. Beginning in the Year 2000, these
date code fields needed to accept 4 digit entries to distinguish 21st century
dates from 20th century dates. Systems that did not properly recognize such
information could have generated erroneous data or caused a system to fail. As a
result, computer systems and/or software used by many companies needed to be
upgraded to comply with such Year 2000 requirements. The Company utilized both
internal and external resources to identify, correct or reprogram, and test its
internal systems, for Year 2000 compliance. The Company believes such compliance
did not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or
financial condition.
The Company completed an assessment and analysis of its internal information
technology systems, software and manufacturing equipment. The Company
implemented the system changes needed to correct its internal Year 2000 issues.
While the Company currently believes that the Year 2000 did not pose significant
internal operational problems, issues could still arise due to fiscal 2000 leap
year or other dates not already identified. Failure by the Company to fully
identify all Year 2000 dependencies in the Company's systems, could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.
The Company established a program to assess its products to ensure that they
are Year 2000 compliant. To monitor this program and to inform customers about
the Year 2000 issues with respect to its
20
products, the Company created a website at
www.adaclabs.com/about/year20001.html. This website identified the status of
Year 2000 compatibility of its products, including products that are Year 2000
compliant, products that needed software updates, products that required
hardware upgrades, and products that could not be made Year 2000 compliant. This
list was periodically updated as analysis of additional products is completed
and is still available.
The Company sold, or provided under warranty or service contracts, software
license upgrades to update the majority of its installed base to make the
products Year 2000 compliant, and completed development of such upgrades in
1999. For older equipment which the Company no longer manufactures, the Company
sold hardware upgrades to its customers which addressed the Year 2000 compliance
where possible. Where possible the Company contacted by mail customers which
required computer hardware upgrades, and also posted information relating to
Year 2000 compliance for its products on the Company's website as described
above.
The Company gathered information from its suppliers and vendors to determine
the extent to which the Company's capabilities were vulnerable to failure by
those third parties to remedy their own Year 2000 issues. The Company received
responses to some of those inquiries and analyzed the information that was made
available. The Company proceeded with further analysis or testing of its
vendors' systems as needed. Although the Company has not experienced any
significant delays due to Year 2000 issues, there is no guarantee that the
systems and products of other companies on which the Company relies were timely
converted or that they will not have a material adverse effect on the Company in
the months to come.
The Company has incurred Year 2000 costs of approximately $1.2 million.
These cost estimates do not include any potential costs related to any customer
or other claim. In addition, these cost estimates are based on current
assessments of the activities described above, and are subject to changes as the
Company continues to monitor these activities. The Company believes any
modifications deemed necessary were made on a timely basis and does not believe
that the costs of such modifications had a material adverse effect on the
Company's operating results.
HEALTH CARE REFORM; REIMBURSEMENT AND PRICING PRESSURE
There is significant concern today about the availability and rising cost of
healthcare in the United States. Cost containment initiatives, market pressures
and proposed changes in applicable laws and regulations may have a dramatic
effect on pricing or potential demand for medical devices, the relative costs
associated with doing business and the amount of reimbursement by both
government and third party payors, which could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's results of operations.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
The Company's success depends in part on its continued ability to obtain
patents, to preserve its trade secrets and to operate without infringing the
proprietary rights of third parties. There can be no assurance that pending
patent applications will mature into issued patents or that third parties will
not make claims of infringement against the Company's products or technologies
or will not be issued patents that may require payment of license fees by the
Company or prevent the sale of certain products by the Company.
RELIANCE ON SUPPLIERS
Certain components used by the Company to manufacture its products such as
the sodium iodide crystals used in the Company's nuclear medicine systems are
presently available from only one supplier. The Company also relies on several
significant vendors for hardware and software components for its healthcare
information systems products. The loss of any of these suppliers, including any
single-source supplier, would require obtaining one or more replacement
suppliers as well as potentially requiring a significant level of hardware and
software development to incorporate the new parts into the Company's
21
products. Although the Company has obtained insurance to protect against loss
due to business interruption from these and other sources, there can be no
assurance that such coverage would be adequate.
PRODUCT LIABILITY
Although the Company maintains product liability insurance coverage in an
amount that it deems sufficient for its business, there can be no assurance that
such coverage will ultimately prove to be adequate or that such coverage will
continue to remain available on acceptable terms, if at all.
VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE
The market price of the Company's Common Stock is and is expected to
continue to be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in
anticipated or actual operating results, market speculation, announcements of
new products or technology by the Company or its competitors, changes in
earnings estimates by the Company's analysts, trends in the health care industry
in general and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the
Company. In addition, broad market fluctuations as well as general economic or
political conditions or initiatives, such as health care reform, may adversely
impact the market price of the Common Stock regardless of the Company's
operating results.
MARKET RISK
The Company's market risk disclosures set forth in the 1999 Annual Report to
Shareholders have not changed significantly.
