Revenues for the third quarter ended April 30, 2008, were $102,768,000, compared with the prior year’s $83,889,000, an increase of 23%. Income from operations was $7,669,000, up 25% from a year earlier. Net income for the third quarter was $6,679,000, or $0.50 per diluted share, remaining flat to the prior year due primarily to lower interest income and a 36% higher tax rate.

Non-GAAP income from operations for the quarter ended April 30, 2008, was $9,401,000, up 37% from last year. Non-GAAP net income was $7,821,000, or $0.59 per diluted share, compared to $7,574,000, or $0.54 per diluted share, last year.

Revenues for the nine months ended April 30, 2008, were $296,369,000, compared to the prior year’s nine-month revenues of $247,849,000, an increase of 20%. Income from operations was $21,863,000, up from a loss of $527,000 a year earlier. Net income was $20,214,000, or $1.52 per diluted share, compared to $7,058,000, or $0.50 per diluted share, last year. During the nine-month period ended April 30, 2007, the Company recorded pretax restructuring and asset impairment charges of $9,705,000.

Non-GAAP income from operations for the nine months ended April 30, 2008, was $26,233,000, up 123% from a year earlier. Non-GAAP net income for the nine months ended April 30, 2008, was $22,711,000, or $1.71 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $15,639,000, or $1.12 per diluted share, for last year.


Non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of certain items. A description of these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of all GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are presented in the financial tables at the end of this news release.

President and CEO Jim Green said, “Our medical business exhibited solid growth in the third quarter despite continued slowness in the U.S. Computed Tomography (CT) market. Sales of medical technology products were $89,919,000, up 29% over the prior year, and up 7% from the second quarter of this year. Security technology product revenues were down 10% from a year earlier due primarily to a decrease in customer-funded projects.”

Medical imaging product revenues for the third quarter were $58,550,000, up 25% over the prior year’s third quarter. Digital radiography product revenues were $8,693,000, up significantly from last year due to the increasing shipments of amorphous Selenium, direct digital mammography flat-panel detectors. Revenues for B-K Medical’s clinical ultrasound systems were $22,676,000, up 17%. Approximately one third of the increase was organic growth; the remainder was due to the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates.

During the quarter the Company began production ramp of a new 320-slice CT DAS, a new 16 slice CT DMS System, and a new family of high-precision 3.0T radio frequency amplifiers for major OEM customers. Our Copley group is similarly ramping up production of a new family of 1.5T and very-high-field 3.0T gradient amplifiers for a major OEM.

Security technology product revenues were down 10% for the quarter due primarily to a decrease in customer funding. The Company shipped 15 EXplosive Assessment Computed Tomography (EXACT) systems to L-3 Communications, the same number shipped during the prior year’s third quarter. During the quarter the Company announced an expanded relationship with L-3 Communications, awarding worldwide rights to sell and service the KING COBRA® and XLB™1100 automatic Explosives Detection Systems (EDSs) to L-3, who will market them as the eXaminer SX and eXaminer XLB respectively for air carrier checked-baggage applications.

Green announced that the Board of Directors will present a director majority voting proposal for approval at the January 2009 Stockholders Meeting.

“We are pleased with the growth in medical revenues and are committed to driving further profitable growth,” Green concluded. “The integration of Copley is proceeding to plan and our security group is preparing to put major new systems into production over the course of the next year. We remain well positioned to take advantage of opportunities for significant growth and to ensure our future as The World Resource for Health and Security Technology.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This presentation includes non-GAAP financial measures that are not in accordance with, nor an alternative to, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. They are limited in value because they exclude charges that have a material effect on our reported results and, therefore, should not be relied upon as the sole financial measures to evaluate our financial results. The non-GAAP financial measures are meant to supplement, and to be viewed in conjunction with, GAAP financial results. An explanation and a reconciliation of our non-GAAP measures are provided at the end of this press release.

UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION—RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES

The Company provides non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP other (income) expense, non-GAAP income before taxes, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share as supplemental measures to GAAP regarding the Company’s operational performance. These financial measures exclude the impact of certain items and, therefore, have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. The adjustments to these non-GAAP financial measures, and the basis for such adjustments, are outlined below:

Share-based compensation expense. The Company incurs expense related to share-based compensation included in its GAAP presentation of cost of sales, research and development, selling and marketing, general and administrative expense. Although share-based compensation is an expense of the Company and viewed as a form of compensation, these expenses vary in amount from period to period, and are affected by market forces that are difficult to predict and are not within the control of management, such as the market price and volatility of the Company’s shares, risk-free interest rates, the expected term and forfeiture rates of the awards. In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, share-based compensation expense is calculated as of the grant date of each share-based award, and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the grant date. Management believes that exclusion of these expenses allows comparisons of operating results that are consistent between periods and allows comparisons of the Company’s operating results to those of other companies that disclose non-GAAP financial measures that exclude share-based compensation.

Executive transition expenses. In November 2006, John W. Wood Jr. resigned as President of the Company and was temporarily replaced by Bernard M. Gordon, who was appointed as our Executive Chairman, in which capacity he served as both our principal executive officer and Chairman of the Board. James W. Green was appointed as our President and CEO on May 21, 2007, replacing Mr. Gordon as our principal executive officer. Since his arrival Mr. Green has made and is continuing to make a number of changes in the senior leadership team reporting to him. As such, the Company has incurred charges for severance, executive search, relocation and other related expenses. Management believes these charges should be excluded from the non-GAAP results because they are one-time items not associated with the ongoing operations of the business.


Acquisition related expenses. The Company incurs amortization of intangibles and other expenses related to acquisitions, including the recent acquisition of Copley Controls Corporation. The intangible assets are valued at the time of acquisition, are then amortized over a period of several years after the acquisition and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the acquisition. Management believes that exclusion of these expenses allows comparisons of operating results that are consistent over time for both our newly acquired and long-held businesses.

Asset impairment charges. As a result of continuing losses in its Digital Radiography business and the related business outlook, the Company evaluated the net realizability of all of the related assets at October 31, 2006. As a result, the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of $9,705,000 associated with the write-down of the Company’s Digital Radiography system business assets to their estimated fair values as a group based upon the present value of estimated future cash flows of the business. Of the $9,705,000 asset impairment charges, $8,625,000 was recorded to cost of sales and $1,080,000 was recorded to operating expenses. Management believes these charges should be excluded from the non-GAAP results because they are one-time items not associated with the ongoing operations of the business.

Gain on sale of investments and other. During the three months ended October 31, 2007, the Company received $84,000 as an initial escrow payment related to the Q4 2007 sale of its interest in Bio-Imaging Research, which it recorded as other income. On December 7, 2007, the Company received $555,000 from its insurance company as reimbursement for legal fees incurred in relation to an indemnification matter related to the Company’s sale of its wholly owned subsidiary Camtronics Medical Systems, Ltd. in November 2005. The $555,000 gain was recorded as other income during the nine months ended April 30, 2008. On November 1, 2006, the Company sold certain assets of SKY and its obligation to service sold products for a purchase price of $405,000. The $405,000 includes $225,000 in cash paid at closing, $150,000 in cash paid after the closing for additional inventory, and the assumption of $30,000 in liabilities. The Company recorded a gain of $205,000 from the sale in the nine months ended April 30, 2007. These gains have been presented as a non-GAAP item for that period.

Adjustments for related tax impact. For purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings (losses) per share, management adjusts the provision (benefit) for income taxes to tax effect the non-GAAP adjustments described above as they have a significant impact on the Company’s income tax provision (benefit).

Management excludes the above-described expenses and their related tax impact in evaluating short-term and long-term operating trends in the Company’s operations, and allocating resources to various initiatives and operational requirements. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial adjustments are useful to investors because they allow investors to evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology and information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.

These non-GAAP financial measures have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies.


The following table reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
