ITEM 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Results of Operations - Three-Month and Six-Month Periods Ended October 31,
1997
Net sales for the three-month period ended October 31, 1997 increased 8.5%
to $148.6 million from $136.9 million for the three-month period ended
October 31, 1996. Net sales for the six-month period ended October 31,
1997 increased 7.2% to $280.6 million from $261.7 million for the same
period last year. The Company's patient monitoring systems, diagnostic
cardiology and supplies and service product lines achieved sales growth of
16.4%, 1.0% and 0.4% for the three-month period ended October 31, 1997
compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year. For the current
six-month period, the patient monitoring systems and diagnostic cardiology
product lines achieved sales growth over the comparable period from last
year of 16.0% and 0.4%, respectively. The supplies and service product
lines had a decrease in net sales for the current six-month period of 2.7%
as compared to the previous year.
The sales growth in the patient monitoring systems product line is a result
of the strong demand for the Company's newest modular monitors, especially
in the U.S. market. The Company continues to experience softer market
conditions for all products in Europe. However, the increased demand in
the U.S. has more than offset the level of demand internationally. In
addition, certain strategic alliances are beginning to provide benefits
which are positively impacting net sales, for the patient monitoring
systems product line in particular.
The sales growth in the quarter was adversely affected by negative currency
conversions due to a stronger U.S. dollar and the devaluation of certain
Asian currencies. A stable U.S. dollar as compared to the previous year's
quarter would have provided additional net sales of $7.4 million, or 5.4%.
For the six-month period, a stable U.S. dollar would have provided an
additional $12.6 million of net sales, or 4.8%.
International net sales for the six-month period comprised 33.4% of total
net sales as compared to 39.7% of net sales for the previous year's period.
The negative currency conversions contributed to a portion of this
decrease. The softer European market was also a factor in the decrease.
Gross profit for the three-month period ended October 31, 1997 increased
12.0% to $74.3 million from $66.3 million for the same period in the
previous fiscal year. For the six-month period, gross profit increased
12.1% to $142.1 million from $126.7 million in the comparable period last
year. Gross margin for the three-month period ended October 31, 1997 was
50.0% as compared to 48.4% in the previous year's quarter. For the six-
month period ended October 31, 1997, the gross margin was 50.6% as compared
to the prior year of 48.4%. The increased gross margin for both the three-
month period and six-month period related mainly to the product mix which
was weighted towards higher margin products in the current periods.
- 7 -
Engineering expenses for the three-month period ended October 31, 1997
increased 7.2% to $12.9 million from $12.0 million for the same period in
the previous fiscal year. Engineering expenses as a percentage of net
sales decreased slightly to 8.7% of net sales as compared to 8.8% of net
sales for the previous year's quarter. For the six-month period ended
October 31, 1997, engineering expenses increased 7.6% to $25.6 million from
$23.8 million. For the six-month period, engineering expenses as a
percentage of net sales remained constant at 9.1% of net sales. The
Company will continue to invest significantly in both new product
developments and continued enhancements to current products. Due to the
competitiveness and technological nature of the medical systems and
equipment industry, this investment is necessary in order to maintain the
Company's competitive position in the health care industry.
Selling expenses for the three-month period ended October 31, 1997
increased 8.2% to $35.6 million from $32.9 million in the previous year's
quarter. For the six-month period, selling expenses increased to $69.7
million from $64.2 million in the previous year's six-month period. The
increases for both the three-month period and six-month period relate to
additional expenses related to various strategic marketing alliances and
the continued increased emphasis on expanding the customer base in the Asia
Pacific region. As a percentage of net sales, selling expenses remained
relatively constant for the quarter at 23.9% of net sales as compared to
24.0% of net sales in the previous year's quarter. For the six-month
period, selling expenses were 24.9% of net sales in the current year
versus 24.5% on net sales in last year's period.
General and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended
October 31, 1997 increased 11.9% to $12.7 million from $11.3 million for
the same period last year. The increase relates to the ongoing conversion
costs associated with the change in business systems. For the six-month
period, general and administrative expenses increased 11.3% to $24.4
million from $21.9 million for the comparable period in the previous year.
For the quarter, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net
sales increased to 8.5% of net sales as compared to 8.3% for the previous
year's quarter.
Operating income for the three-month period ended October 31, 1997
increased 30.1% to $13.2 million from $10.1 million for the same period in
the previous fiscal year. For the current six-month period, operating
income increased by 33.4% from $16.8 million to $22.4 million. The
increased operating profit for both the quarter and the six-month period is
attributable to the sales growth and increased gross margins.
Interest expense for the three-month period ended October 31, 1997
decreased to $1.6 million from $2.2 million for the same period in the
previous fiscal year. For the six-month period, interest expenses
decreased from $4.2 million to $3.2 million. The decreases are
attributable to the use of proceeds from a public stock offering completed
in March, 1997 for repayment of a portion of bank term debt.
The provision for income taxes for the three-month period ended October 31,
1997 was $4.8 million, or an effective tax rate of 41.9%, as compared to
$3.3 million, or an effective tax rate of 38.6% for the same period in the
previous fiscal year. The increased effective tax rate is a result of the
net operating losses generated in some of the European operations during
the quarter which have not been benefited.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital was $155.0 million at October 31, 1997 as compared to
$149.2 million at April 30, 1997. Inventories increased by 7.2% to $118.8
million primarily due to increased sales levels and to give the Company the
continued ability to effectively manage its backlog. Accounts receivable
increased 10.2% to $154.4 million reflecting increased sales levels.
As of October 31, 1997, the Company had $14.1 million outstanding on U.S.
lines of credit of $25.0 million. In addition, the company had $30.6
million, U.S. dollar equivalent, outstanding on foreign lines of credit of
$49.7 million. As of April 30, 1997, the amounts outstanding on the U.S.
and foreign lines of credit were $8.0 million and $22.4 million,
respectively. A portion of the foreign currency denominated borrowings
are used to reduce the currency risks associated with foreign currency
receivables.
Capital expenditures for the six-month period ended October 31, 1997 were
$15.1 million, compared with $10.4 million for the same period in the
previous fiscal year. The increase was due to the continued capital
expenditures related to the acquisition of a new business system. The
capital purchases were funded by both cash flow from operations as well as
with draws from the working capital line.
The Company financed its $90.3 million fiscal 1996 acquisition of E for M
Corporation with three variable rate bank term loans each in the amount of
$30.0 million. Each bank term loan is payable in eight equal semi-annual
installments of $3.75 million each beginning on April 30, 1997 and
continuing on each October 31 and April 30 thereafter through October 31,
2000. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 1997, the Company incurred
$30.0 million of senior long-term fixed-rate debt to refinance a portion of
the bank term debt. This senior debt accrues interest at a fixed rate of
7.46% per annum and matures on August 29, 2008. As of April 30, 1997, the
Company had repaid or refinanced $63.0 million of such bank term debt. In
the six-month period ended October 31, 1997, the Company repaid an
additional $4.5 million of the bank term debt with draws from the working
capital line. The next required installment owed by the Company is April
30, 2000. The $22.5 million of remaining bank term debt outstanding on
October 31, 1997 accrued interest at a rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus
one percent, reset monthly. At October 31, 1997, the rate was 6.6563% per
annum. The Company intends to pay the interest and retire the remaining
long-term debt through cash flow from operations.
Management believes the Company has the financial resources to meet its
short term and long term cash requirements. Management believes its cash
flow from operations will be sufficient to continue to fund its current
obligations as well as fund the internal growth of the Company. The
current U.S. inflation rate has little impact on Company operations.
The Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results
of Operations section in this report may contain certain forward-looking
statements regarding the Company and its products. These forward-looking
statements are based on current expectations and the Company assumes no
obligation to update this information. The Company's actual results could
differ materially from those discussed in this document.
