Description of Business

Analogic (NASDAQ:ALOG) provides leading-edge healthcare and security technology solutions to advance the practice of medicine and save lives. We are recognized around the world for advanced imaging systems and technology that enable computed tomography (“CT”), ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) and digital mammography, as well as automated threat detection for aviation security. Our CT, MRI, digital mammography, and ultrasound transducer products are sold to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), providing state-of-the-art capability and enabling them to enter new markets and expand their existing market presence. Our state-of-the-art ultrasound systems are sold directly to clinical end users through our sales force and distributor network under the BK Medical and Ultrasonix brands and are primarily used for procedure guidance markets such as urology, surgery, and point-of-care.

We were incorporated in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in November 1967 and our headquarters is based just north of Boston in Peabody, Massachusetts.

Our business is strategically aligned into three segments: Medical Imaging, Ultrasound, and Security Technology. Our business segments are described as follows:

•

Medical Imaging, which primarily includes systems and subsystems for CT and MRI medical imaging equipment as well as state-of-the-art, selenium-based detectors for screening of breast cancer and other diagnostic applications in mammography.

•

Ultrasound, which includes ultrasound systems and transducers used primarily in the urology, surgery (including robotic assisted surgery), anesthesia, and point-of-care markets.

•

Security Technology, which includes advanced threat detecting CT systems utilizing our expertise in advanced imaging technology, primarily used in checked baggage screening at airports worldwide.

Basis of Presentation

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Preparing financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses.

We report our financial condition and results of operations on a fiscal year basis ending on July 31st of each year.

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for all interim periods presented. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013 (“fiscal year 2013”), included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on September 30, 2013. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America.

Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. Investments in companies in which our ownership interests range from 10% to 50%, and in which we exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. Other investments are accounted for using the cost method.

In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of an entity and therefore required to consolidate, we apply a qualitative approach that determines whether we have both (1) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to that entity. We have not been required to consolidate the activity of any entity due to these considerations.
