AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of GenRad, Inc. ("GenRad" or "the Company") should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2000, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position at September 30, 2000 and January 1, 2000, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and October 2, 1999, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and October 2, 1999. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. NET INCOME PER SHARE The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings per Share" for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and October 2, 1999, respectively (in thousands): THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 OCTOBER 2, 1999 SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 OCTOBER 2, 1999 ------------------ --------------- ------------------ --------------- Net income.............................. $ 277 $17,768 $17,323 $36,050 ======= ======= ======= ======= Basic: weighted average shares outstanding........................... 28,144 28,748 28,118 28,511 Weighted average share equivalents...... 327 1,025 467 1,026 ------- ------- ------- ------- Diluted: weighted average shares outstanding........................... 28,471 29,773 28,585 29,537 ======= ======= ======= ======= Basic net income per share.............. $ 0.01 $ 0.62 $ 0.62 $ 1.26 ======= ======= ======= ======= Diluted net income per share............ $ 0.01 $ 0.60 $ 0.61 $ 1.22 ======= ======= ======= ======= COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, comprehensive income (loss) included changes in cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments of $0.4 and $0.9 million compared to $(0.1) and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended October 2, 1999.

The plan involves closure of the Company's Portland, Oregon office and relocation of employees from the United States and Switzerland for the purpose of centralizing certain Process Solutions segment operations in its current Atlanta, Georgia facility, and a management restructuring of the Diagnostic Solutions segment in the Manchester, UK facility. This will result in a workforce reduction of approximately 25 employees, mainly consisting of engineering, marketing and training functions. In accordance with EITF 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity", the Company recorded a restructuring charge during the three months ended April 1, 2000. The charge totaled approximately $1.0 million, and includes severance costs of $0.7 million to be completed during fiscal 2001 and exit costs of $0.3 million related to 7 GENRAD INC.

As of September 30, 2000, there were $0.3 million of severance and $0.2 million of facility exit payments made against the reserve. During the three months ended April 1, 2000, the Company completed the extension of a sublease entered into at a facility in Maidenhead, England to include the Company's remaining lease obligation through 2013. As a result of this extension, the Company reversed a charge recorded in a prior fiscal year for excess facility reserves. This restructuring charge included accruals related to the lease costs of the facility. The sublet of the facility resulted in the reversal of approximately $3.5 million of the fiscal 1993 restructuring accrual. NOTE 4: REORGANIZATION CHARGES During the three months ended July 1, 2000, the Company implemented a reorganization plan in connection with the election of Robert M. Dutkowsky as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer (collectively "CEO"). As a result, the employment of certain members of management, including the then current CEO, was terminated. A charge of $4.1 million for severance costs to be completed during fiscal 2001 was recorded during the three months ended July 1, 2000. As of September 30, 2000, payments of $3.7 million were made against the reserve.

NOTE 8: TREASURY STOCK During the second quarter of 1998, the Company commenced a stock repurchase program whereby the Company will purchase, in the open market, shares of its stock. On January 28, 2000, an additional 2,500,000 shares were authorized to be repurchased, increasing the total shares authorized to 5,000,000. The Company intends to buy back its stock at times when the market price of the stock presents opportunities to do so, and depending on the Company's other cash requirements. The Company's stock repurchase plan is intended as a means to partially mitigate the dilutive impact of stock options. The Plan has been funded entirely through operating cash flow, however, the Company may if it considers it prudent, utilize its available credit facilities in connection with its stock repurchase program. Through September 30, 2000 and October 2, 1999, the Company had utilized approximately $36.0 and $18.7 million, respectively, to repurchase 2,195,600 and 1,225,600 shares of its common stock. NOTE 9: CREDIT FACILITY In March 2000, the Company re-negotiated its existing $50.0 million credit facility, increasing the total borrowings available to $125.0 million (the "new line"). The new line is supported by a syndicated group of banks and provides for up to $75.0 million to be utilized for acquisitions and $50.0 million to be used for general working capital purposes. The new line requires the Company to maintain certain leverage, operating cash flow and operating income covenants as well as non-financial operating covenants, as defined, and expires March 2004. The new line is collaterized by substantially all of the Company's assets. Certain borrowings on the line, primarily related to acquisitions, are payable quarterly while the remaining borrowings are payable on demand. The line bears interest at the lesser of the banks' prime rate plus 0.75% or LIBOR plus 1.75%, as determined from time to time by the banks. The interest rates on the credit facility at September 30, 2000 ranged from 8.625% to 10.5%. Under the terms of the new line, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the line ranging from 0.375% to 0.5% of the total unused portion of the line dependent on the Company's operating performance. At September 30, 2000, borrowings outstanding under the line totaled $98.9 million, of which $67.5 million was related to acquisitions and $31.4 million related to general working capital. 10 GENRAD INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) NOTE 10: INCOME TAXES During the three months ended April 1, 2000 and April 3, 1999, the Company reversed a portion of its deferred tax asset valuation allowance resulting in a tax benefit of $14.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively. These were recorded due to management's expectations of future income and expected utilization of the Company's domestic and foreign net operating loss carryforwards. NOTE 11: IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS On June 15, 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). This Statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000 (December 31, 2000 for the Company) and requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. The Company is currently determining the impact of the adoption of SFAS 133 to its operating results or financial position. REVENUE RECOGNITION In December 1999, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" subsequently updated by SAB 101A and SAB 101B ("SAB 101"). SAB 101 summarizes certain of the SEC's views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. The Company has adopted SAB 101 as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. 11 GENRAD, INC.

THREE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 2, 1999 ORDERS AND BACKLOG Orders for the Company's products and services increased 15.9% to $89.1 million for 2000 from $76.9 million for 1999. Excluding orders from the acquisitions of Nicolet Imaging Systems and Sierra Research Technology (collectively "NIS") and Autodiagnos AB ("Autodiagnos"), which were completed on March 24, 2000 and April 12, 2000 respectively, orders totaled $78.2 million for 2000. PS orders totaled $58.7 million in 2000 compared to $35.9 million in 1999. Excluding orders of NIS, PS orders totaled $50.4 million in 2000. PS orders increased $22.8 million in 2000 compared to 1999. In addition to NIS orders of $8.3 million, the improvement was principally due to strengthening demand for the segment's in-circuit test products ($18.5 million). FS orders totaled $3.8 million in 2000 compared to $2.3 million in 1999. FS orders increased $1.5 million in 2000 compared to 1999 due to improved Geneva and Versa orders. DS orders totaled $13.8 million in 2000 compared to $20.8 million in 1999. Excluding orders of Autodiagnos, DS orders totaled $12.1 million in 2000. DS orders decreased $7.0 million in 2000 compared to 1999. This decrease is mainly attributable to orders received during 1999 related to the launch of the Company's WDS 3500 product for The Ford Motor Company ("Ford") offset by an increase in orders related to additional WDS business, for which there were no orders in 1999. SS orders totaled $12.8 million in 2000 compared to $17.9 million in 1999. North American orders totaled $42.8 million for 2000 compared to $43.4 million for 1999. North American orders decreased $0.6 million for 2000 compared to 1999. Excluding orders of NIS, North American orders decreased $6.2 million. This decrease was primarily due to the launch of the Company's 13 GENRAD, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS WDS 3500 product for Ford during 1999 in the DS segment. For 2000, there was an incremental decrease in WDS North American orders of $8.4 million from 1999. There was also a $1.7 million incremental decrease of orders in the SS segment. These decreases were offset by NIS orders of $5.7 million, increased orders of $2.0 million in the remainder of the PS segment primarily due to strengthening demand for in-circuit test products and an increase in FS orders of $1.2 million. European orders totaled $32.6 million for 2000 compared to $29.0 million for 1999. European orders increased $3.6 million for 2000 compared to 1999. Excluding orders of NIS and Autodiagnos, European orders increased $0.5 million. This increase was primarily due to improved demand for in-circuit test products of $5.7 million partially offset by decreased SS orders of $3.6 million. Asian orders totaled $13.7 million for 2000 compared to $4.5 million for 1999, an increase of $9.2 million. Excluding orders of NIS, Asian orders increased $7.9 million. This increase was primarily due to improved demand for in-circuit test products of $7.3 million. Backlog totaled $49.9 million at September 30, 2000 compared to $30.9 million at January 1, 2000. Excluding backlog of NIS and Autodiagnos, ending backlog totaled $47.6 million. The increased level of backlog is due primarily to the continued strong demand for in-circuit test products, coupled with manufacturing delays associated with the implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. The Company believes that a substantial portion of this backlog will be shipped during the three months ended December 30, 2000. REVENUE Total revenue decreased to $78.6 million for 2000 from $109.2 million for 1999. Excluding revenue of NIS and Autodiagnos, revenue totaled $69.0 million for 2000. PS revenue totaled $46.4 million for 2000 compared to $35.4 million for 1999. Excluding revenue of NIS, PS revenue totaled $38.3 million for 2000. FS revenue totaled $2.7 million for 2000 compared to $3.3 million for 1999. DS revenue totaled $11.9 million for 2000 compared to $51.1 million for 1999. Excluding revenue of Autodiagnos, DS revenue totaled $10.5 million for 2000. SS revenue totaled $17.5 million for 2000 compared to $19.5 million for 1999. PS revenue increased $11.0 million for 2000 compared to 1999. When excluding revenue of NIS, PS revenue increased $2.9 million. The increase was due to $2.5 million in incremental revenue related to in-circuit test products and $0.7 million in Viper products primarily due to strengthening demand in those areas. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $0.2 million related to Process Software products. FS revenue decreased $0.6 million for 2000 compared to 1999. The unfavorable change was due to lower Geneva product shipments in the quarter. DS revenue decreased $39.2 million for 2000 compared to 1999. When excluding revenue of Autodiagnos, the segment's revenues decreased $40.6 million. The decrease is attributable to the substantial reduction in WDS revenue of $43.0 million offset by an incremental increase in other DS revenues of $2.3 million. For the third quarter of 2000, the Company shipped 821 WDS units, compared to 7,389 units during the third quarter of 1999. The Company expects to derive significant revenues from Ford related to its WDS 3500 product for the remainder of 2000 and beyond. However, the Company does not anticipate a unit count approaching the unit count during the twelve months ended January 1, 2000 in any future twelve month period, or compared to the Company's original estimate for the year 2000 due to changing purchasing patterns of Ford. 14 GENRAD, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SS revenue decreased $2.0 million for 2000 compared to 1999. Service revenue for PS products totaled $9.0 million for 2000 compared to $10.6 million for 1999. Service revenue for FS products totaled $0.7 million for 2000 compared to $0.8 million for 1999. Service revenue for DS products totaled $5.7 million for 2000 compared to $6.4 million for 1999. Revenue from international markets decreased to $39.7 million, or 50.6% of revenue, for 2000 from $51.0 million, or 46.7% of revenue, for 1999. The decrease in international revenue in dollars, coupled with the increase as a percentage of total revenue, reflects the shift of revenues from the WDS 3500 product and the expansion of other products and services in Europe. Revenues from international markets are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations. GROSS MARGIN Gross margin was $33.0 million, or 42.0%, for 2000 compared to $42.5 million, or 38.9%, for 1999. The decreased margin in dollars, and the increase in percentage, is due to the WDS 3500 unit reduction and its substantially lower margins than other products, partially offset by the acquisitions of NIS and Autodiagnos, which contributed $4.3 million in margin for 2000. Additional downward pressure on gross margin is related to increased amortization costs of capitalized software and product related intangible assets of $1.0 million during 2000 compared to 1999. As a percentage of product revenue, product margins increased to 45.5% for 2000 from 39.0% for 1999. The increase reflects the significantly decreased unit shipments of lower margin WDS 3500 product compared to higher margin PS and FS products. Inventory turnover for 2000 decreased to 1.8 times (annualized) as compared to 4.7 times (annualized) for 1999. The decrease is primarily related to turnover of the WDS 3500 product. Excluding inventory related to the WDS 3500 contract with Ford, inventory turnover was 2.5 times (annualized) for 2000 and 1999. Service margins were $4.2 million, or 27.4%, for 2000 compared to $6.8 million, or 38.4%, for 1999. The decrease in service margin, in dollars and as a percentage of revenue, is primarily attributable to declining margin in the DS segment that reflects the competitive market conditions in the markets that DS competes. OPERATING EXPENSES Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $20.0 million, or 25.5% of total revenue, for 2000 from $16.3 million, or 14.9% of total revenue, for 1999. Excluding expenses of NIS and Autodiagnos, selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $18.5 million during 2000. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in dollars is primarily attributable to additional expenses to support the increase of non-WDS related revenues during 2000 as compared to 1999, new European offices, and increased amortization expenses associated with the next phase of the Company's ERP System going live as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2000. Research and development expenses increased to $7.8 million, or 9.9% of total revenue, for 2000 from $5.4 million, or 5.0% of total revenue, for 1999. Excluding expenses of NIS and Autodiagnos, research and development expenses totaled $6.9 million for 2000. The increase in research and development expenses primarily reflects the Company's efforts to enter the automotive aftermarket and on-going new product development efforts in the PS segment. There was a increase in capitalized software costs of $0.1 million for 2000 compared to 1999. During 2000, on-going research and development projects and improvements continued for in-circuit and functional test equipment software, and system enhancements to the software 15 GENRAD, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS suite of products. The Company expects to continue to invest in new product development and enhancements to its existing products. Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets totaled $2.2 million, or 2.8% of total revenue, for 2000, compared to $0.7 million, or 0.6% of total revenue, for 1999. The increase in dollars, and as a percentage of revenue, is attributable to the acquisitions of NIS and Autodiagnos in fiscal 2000. Interest expense was $2.9 million for 2000 compared to $0.4 million for 1999 reflecting increased borrowings on its credit facility. The Company recorded a net income tax expense of $0.2 million for 2000 compared to a net income tax expense of $2.0 million for 1999. The decrease in the income tax provision is caused by the substantially reduced net income before income taxes during 2000 compared to 1999 partially offset by an increase of the effective tax rate in fiscal 2000 as compared to fiscal 1999. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 VS. NINE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 2, 1999 ORDERS AND BACKLOG Orders for the Company's products and services increased to $248.1 million for 2000 from $232.3 million for 1999. Excluding NIS and Autodiagnos, orders totaled $228.4 million for 2000. PS orders totaled $135.9 million for 2000 compared to $99.2 million for 1999. Excluding orders of NIS, PS orders totaled $119.3 million for 2000. FS orders totaled $13.2 million for 2000 compared to $9.8 million for 1999. DS orders totaled $47.4 million for 2000 compared to $60.7 million for 1999. Excluding orders of Autodiagnos, DS orders totaled $44.3 million for 2000. SS orders totaled $51.6 million for 2000 compared to $62.6 million for 1999. PS orders increased $20.1 million for 2000 compared to 1999 when excluding orders of NIS, driven by strengthening demand for the segment's in-circuit test products. Orders for these products increased $23.0 million during 2000 as compared to 1999. These increases were partially offset by a $2.4 million decrease in orders for process software solutions. FS orders increased $3.4 million for 2000 compared to 1999 driven by increased demand for Geneva products. DS orders decreased $16.4 million for 2000 compared to 1999 when excluding orders of Autodiagnos. The decrease is attributable to orders received during 1999 relating to the launch of the WDS 3500 product for Ford. In 2000, $26.8 million of orders were received compared to $56.1 million in 1999. This was offset by increases in orders of the remainder of the DS segment, namely, $8.5 million of Advanced Manufacturing Systems (AMS) and $4.1 million of Advanced Diagnostic Systems (ADS). North American orders totaled $122.4 million for 2000 compared to $134.0 million for 1999. North American orders decreased $11.6 million for 2000 compared to 1999. Excluding orders of NIS, orders decreased $23.6 million. This decrease was primarily due to orders of the WDS 3500 product for Ford, which resulted in an incremental decrease of $32.2 million during 2000. In addition, there was an incremental decrease in SS orders of $2.3 million. These decreases were offset by increases of $1.8 million in the FS segment and PS orders of $7.4 million due to strengthening demand in several product lines and a geographic shift of orders from the Company's large contract manufacturers. European orders totaled $97.1 million for 2000 compared to $84.3 million for 1999. European orders increased $12.8 million for 2000 compared to 1999. Excluding orders of NIS and Autodiagnos, orders increased $8.1 million. This increase is primarily attributable to improved demand for in-circuit test products of the PS segment of $8.2 million and incremental increases in orders of AMS and ADS products in the DS segment of $11.0 million. These increases were offset by a decrease in SS orders of $9.1 million. 16 GENRAD, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Asian orders totaled $28.6 million for 2000 compared to $14.0 million for 1999. Asian orders increased $14.6 million for 2000 compared to 1999. This increase is primarily attributable to improved demand for in-circuit test products of the PS segment of $6.1 million and WDS products of the DS segment of $3.9 million. REVENUE Total revenue increased to $232.3 million for 2000 from $226.0 million for 1999. Excluding revenue of NIS and Autodiagnos, revenue totaled $211.8 million for 2000. PS revenue totaled $125.3 million for 2000 compared to $96.9 million for 1999. Excluding revenue of NIS, PS revenue totaled $107.6 million for 2000. FS revenue totaled $9.0 million for 2000 compared to $10.6 million for 1999. DS revenue totaled $42.4 million for 2000 compared to $62.2 million for 1999. Excluding revenue of Autodiagnos, DS revenue totaled $39.6 million for 2000. SS revenue totaled $55.4 million for 2000 compared to $56.2 million for 1999. PS revenue increased $10.6 million for 2000 compared to 1999 when excluding revenue of NIS. The increase was due to $11.4 million in incremental revenue related to the high-end in-circuit test products and $1.3 million in Viper products. These increases were offset by decreases of the segment's process software products of $1.5 million. FS revenue decreased $1.6 million in 2000 compared to 1999 as a result of lower Geneva product shipments of $1.9 million partially offset by increased Versa product shipments of $0.4 million. DS revenue decreased $22.6 million for 2000 compared to 1999 when excluding revenue of Autodiagnos. The decrease in DS revenue is attributable to the WDS 3500 product, which was $29.4 million lower during 2000. For the year-to-date 2000, the Company shipped 2,837 WDS units. The Company expects to derive significant revenues from Ford related to its WDS 3500 product for the remainder of 2000 and beyond. However, the Company does not anticipate a unit count approaching the unit count during the twelve months ended January 1, 2000 in any future twelve month period, or compared to the Company's original estimate for the year 2000 due to changing purchasing patterns of Ford. SS revenue decreased $0.8 million for 2000 compared to 1999. Service revenue for PS products totaled $28.4 million for 2000 compared to $30.6 million for 1999. Service revenue for FS products totaled $2.1 million for 2000 compared to $2.4 million for 1999. Service revenue for DS products totaled $18.6 million for 2000 compared to $18.8 million for 1999. Revenue from international markets increased to $125.3 million, or 53.9% of revenue, for 2000 from $109.6 million, or 48.5% of revenue, for 1999. The increase in international revenue in dollars, and as a percentage of total revenue, reflects the Company's revenues related to the WDS 3500 product and the expansion of the Company's products and services in Europe. Revenues from international markets are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations. GROSS MARGIN Gross margin was $95.5 million, or 41.1%, for 2000 compared to $101.8 million, or 45.1%, for 1999. The decrease in gross margin in dollars reflects a $0.6 million reduction in product gross margin related to the significant decrease in WDS 3500 product unit sales. This resulted in an incremental decrease of $10.9 million in product margins in 2000 compared to 1999. This decrease was offset by increases in the remainder of the DS segment, in-circuit test products and the acquisitions of NIS and Autodiagnos. Additionally, gross margin was impacted by a $5.7 million reduction in service gross margin for 2000 and 17 GENRAD, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS increased amortization costs of capitalized software and product related intangible assets of $2.8 million during 2000 compared to 1999. As a percentage of revenue, gross margin declined 4.0% from 1999. The decrease reflects the significantly lower margin realized in the SS segment for 2000 (29.7%) compared to 1999 (38.2%). Inventory turnover for 2000 decreased to 2.0 times (annualized) as compared to 3.0 times (annualized) for 1999. The decrease is primarily related to turnover of the WDS 3500 product. Excluding inventory related to the WDS 3500 contract with Ford, inventory turnover was 2.6 times (annualized) for 2000 compared to 2.5 times (annualized) for 1999. OPERATING EXPENSES Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $58.1 million, or 25.0% of total revenue, for 2000 from $49.1 million, or 21.7% of total revenue, for 1999. Excluding expenses of NIS and Autodiagnos, selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $53.1 million during 2000. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in dollars is primarily attributable to additional expenses to support increased revenues during 2000, new European offices, and increased amortization expenses associated with the next phase of the Company's ERP System going live as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2000. Research and development expenses increased to $20.8 million, or 9.0% of total revenue, for 2000 from $14.7 million, or 6.5% of total revenue, for 1999. Excluding expenses of NIS and Autodiagnos, research and development expenses totaled $18.5 million for 2000. The increase in research and development expenses primarily reflects the Company's efforts to enter the automotive aftermarket in the DS segment and on-going new product development efforts in the PS segment. There was a decrease in capitalized software costs of $1.3 million for 2000 compared to 1999. During 2000, on-going research and development projects and improvements continued for in-circuit and functional test equipment software, and system enhancements to the software suite of products. The Company expects to continue to invest in new product development and enhancements to its existing products. Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets totaled $5.0 million, or 2.2% of total revenue, for 2000, compared to $2.2 million, or 1.0% of total revenue, for 1999. The increase in dollars, and as a percentage of revenue, is attributable to the acquisitions of NIS and Autodiagnos in fiscal 2000. Interest expense was $5.7 million for 2000 compared to $0.9 million for 1999 reflecting increased borrowings on its credit facility. The Company recorded a net tax benefit of $13.0 million for 2000 compared to a net income tax benefit of $1.0 million for 1999. The recorded income tax benefit results primarily from a reversal of a portion of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance totaling $14.5 million which was recorded during the three months ended April 1, 2000 due to management's expectations of future income and expected utilization of the Company's domestic and foreign net operating loss carryforwards. Excluding the reversal of a portion of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, the income tax provision decreased to $1.5 million for 2000 from $3.5 million for 1999. The decrease in the income tax provision is caused by lower net income before income taxes during 2000, offset by an increase of the effective tax rate in fiscal 2000 as compared to fiscal 1999. 18 GENRAD, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL SOURCES AND USES OF CASH Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2000 totaled approximately $9.6 million, compared to approximately $7.0 million at January 1, 2000. The current ratio at September 30, 2000 decreased to 1.9 from 2.9 at January 1, 2000. Net cash used in operating activities, net of effects of acquisitions, was $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $14.1 million for the nine months ended October 2, 1999. Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 is primarily driven by a significant incremental inventory investment of $23.3 million, including incremental inventory of $12.6 million related to the Ford WDS 3500 contract. In addition, the usage is impacted by an incremental change in deferred tax assets of $14.1 million, mainly from a reversal of a portion of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, and an increase in accounts receivable of $8.6 million due to the increase in sales volume. These investments were partially funded by net income of $17.3 million and depreciation and amortization of $17.2 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, net cash used in investing activities was $88.2 million, compared to $17.9 million for the nine months ended October 2, 1999. Capital expenditures totaled $15.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $13.8 million for the nine months ended October 2, 1999. Cash used in acquisitions, net of cash acquired, totaled $69.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Cash used in the development of certain intangible assets, including software, totaled $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $4.1 million for the nine months ended October 2, 1999. The increase in capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the nine months ended October 2, 1999 is primarily attributable to investments in bringing production of the Ford WDS 3500 product in-house during the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Through January 1, 2000, the Company was outsourcing production of the WDS 3500 unit to a contract manufacturer. Total capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 related to bringing the production in-house were approximately $2.7 million. Beginning in 1998, the Company began implementation of SAP R/3-TM- ("SAP"), an enterprise resource planning system. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, total capital expenditures related to the SAP implementation totaled $6.0 million. At the end of 1998, the Company had completed Phase I of this project with the successful implementation of selected accounting and finance modules. During the three months ended April 3, 1999, the Company began Phase II of this project, which involved the implementation of certain other modules, including human resources, sales, manufacturing and distribution related modules. While the Phase II go-live date of July 5, 2000 was achieved, the Company expects to continue to incur capital expenditures and on-going expenses related to the implementation of SAP, however, such expenditures are expected to be significantly less than those made in 1999 and in 2000 through the go-live date. Net cash provided by financing activities was $93.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $24.5 million for the nine months ended October 2, 1999. The change in cash provided by financing activities compared to the prior year nine-month period is attributable to the Company's significant additional borrowings for the purpose of funding strategic acquisitions. Nine-month net borrowings totaled $93.7 million of which $67.5 million 19 GENRAD, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS were related to acquisitions and $26.2 million related to general working capital requirements, principally inventory demands. STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM During the second quarter of 1998, the Company commenced a stock repurchase program whereby the Company will purchase, in the open market, shares of its stock. On January 28, 2000, an additional 2,500,000 shares were authorized to be repurchased, increasing the total shares authorized to 5,000,000. The Company intends to buy back its stock at times when the market price of the stock presents opportunities to do so and depending on the Company's other cash requirements. The Company's stock repurchase plan is intended as a means to partially mitigate the dilutive impact of stock options. The Plan has been funded entirely through operating cash flow, however, the Company may if it considers it prudent, utilize its available credit facilities in connection with its stock repurchase program. Through September 30, 2000 and October 2, 1999, the Company had utilized approximately $36.0 and $18.7 million, respectively, to repurchase 2,195,600 and 1,225,600 shares of its common stock. CREDIT FACILITY In March 2000, the Company re-negotiated its existing $50.0 million credit facility, increasing the total borrowings available to $125.0 million (the "new line"). The new line is supported by a syndicated group of banks and provides for up to $75.0 million to be utilized for acquisitions and $50.0 million to be used for general working capital purposes. The new line requires the Company to maintain certain leverage, operating cash flow and operating income covenants as well as non-financial operating covenants, as defined, and expires March 2004. The new line is collaterized by substantially all of the Company's assets. Certain borrowings on the line, primarily related to acquisitions, are payable quarterly while the remaining borrowings are payable on demand. The line bears interest at the lesser of the banks' prime rate plus 0.75% or LIBOR plus 1.75%, as determined from time to time by the banks. The interest rates on the credit facility at September 30, 2000 ranged from 8.625% to 10.5%. Under the terms of the new line, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the line ranging from 0.375% to 0.5% of the total unused portion of the line dependent on the Company's operating performance. At September 30, 2000, borrowings outstanding under the line totaled $98.9 million, of which $67.5 million was related to acquisitions and $31.4 million related to general working capital. SUMMARY The Company's primary source of liquidity is internally generated funds and available credit facility. For the remainder of 2000, the Company anticipates it will fund its working capital and capital expenditure requirements, make principal and interest payments on its borrowings and meet its cash obligations from internally generated funds and from its available credit facility. As the Company continues to invest in new product developments and enhancements to existing products, it expects research and development expenditures to continue at approximately the same percentage of sales as prior fiscal years. EFFECTS OF INFLATION AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE Although the Company cannot accurately determine the precise effect of inflation on its operations, it does not believe inflation has had a material effect on its revenues or its results of operations. The Company attempts to mitigate inflationary cost increases by continuously improving manufacturing methods and technologies. Management does not expect inflation to have a significant impact on operations in the foreseeable future. 20 GENRAD, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company maintains development, sales and support facilities in several locations worldwide, including England, France, Germany, Switzerland, Singapore, and Mexico. A significant amount of the Company's business is conducted with companies located in these and other countries and certain transactions may be denominated in currencies other than the US dollar. As a result, the Company may experience transaction gains and losses as a result of currency fluctuations. In order to minimize its exposure to loss from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company mitigates its risk using foreign currency forward exchange contracts. The Company's currency risk mitigation strategies are designed to reduce the Company's vulnerability to certain foreign currency exchange exposures. In executing its strategies, the Company actively monitors foreign currency exchange rates and executes foreign currency forward exchange contracts, primarily with financial institutions. These contracts serve to offset the impact of actual foreign currency changes, e.g. if currency rates changed with respect to a certain transaction resulting in a loss to the Company, the forward contract would be structured to result in a gain, thereby minimizing the actual loss incurred, if any. The Company may be subject to losses resulting from unanticipated changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The market factors that expose the Company in this regard include economic conditions in which the Company conducts business as well as the Company's ability to effectively and efficiently engage in foreign currency forward exchange contracts at competitive rates with financial institutions or others. The Company expects to continue these or similar practices in the future to the extent appropriate. Historically, actual results of the Company's foreign currency risk management procedures have been in line with management's expectations and have not resulted in significant gains or losses, however, there can be no assurance that these results will continue in the future. THE INTRODUCTION OF THE EURO The Company is aware of and has developed systems designed to handle the introduction of the Euro as an effective currency in Europe. Although the Company believes the systems that have been implemented are sufficient for the Company to be able to process Euro denominated transactions, there can be no assurances that such systems will continue to function as designed. If they do not so function, GenRad's financial results could be adversely affected. To date, the Company has not encountered any significant processing issues related to the introduction of the Euro. The introduction of the Euro has not materially affected the manner in which the Company conducts its operations, nor has it required the Company to alter any significant contracts with suppliers and/or financial institutions. FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS This Quarterly Report may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company's actual results of operations and future financial condition may differ materially from those expressed in any such forward-looking statements as a result of many factors that may be beyond the Company's control. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below. The Company has experienced and expects to continue to experience fluctuations in its results of operations, particularly on a quarterly basis. The Company's expense levels are based, in part, on expectations of future revenues. If revenue levels in a particular period do not meet expectations, due to the timing of the receipt of orders from customers, customer cancellations or delays of shipments, then operating results could be adversely impacted. 21 GENRAD, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The market for the Company's products is characterized by rapid technological change, an increased demand for specific feature requests by customers, evolving industry standards, and frequent new product introductions. The introduction of products embodying new technology or the emergence of new industry standards or practices could render the Company's existing products obsolete or otherwise unmarketable. Future operating results are dependent upon the Company's ability to develop, design, manufacture and market technologically innovative products that meet customer needs. Competition in the markets where the Company operates is intense. The Company continues to invest in manufacturing productivity to try to minimize the impact of competitive pricing pressures, fluctuations within the Company's product mix, potential inventory obsolescence exposure and start-up manufacturing costs for new product introductions. The Company is dependent upon a number of suppliers for several key components of its products. The loss of certain of the Company's suppliers, supply shortages or increases in the costs of key raw materials could have a material adverse effect on the Company. OTHER FACTORS Other factors which could impact future results are past and future acquisitions, strategic alliances, patent or product liability claims in excess of available insurance coverage, changes in the Company's effective tax rates, new regulatory requirements, political and economic changes, tariffs, trade restrictions, transportation delays, foreign currency fluctuations and inflation. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements that may be included in this report. Additionally, there can be no assurance that other factors, not included above, could impact future results. IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS On June 15, 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). This Statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000 (December 31, 2000 for the Company) and requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. The Company is currently determining the impact of the adoption of SFAS 133 to its operating results or financial position. REVENUE RECOGNITION In December 1999, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" subsequently updated by SAB 101A and SAB 101B ("SAB 101"). SAB 101 summarizes certain of the SEC's views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. The Company has adopted SAB 101 as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. 22 PART II.
