ANALOGIC CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited, in millions, except share and per share data)

1. Business:

Company

Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context states otherwise, the words “we,” “us,” “our” and “Analogic” refer to Analogic Corporation and all of its subsidiaries taken as a whole, and “our board of directors” refers to the board of directors of Analogic Corporation.

Basis of Presentation

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or 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 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, 2014, or fiscal year 2014, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on September 26, 2014. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, in the United States of America.

Consolidation

The unaudited 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 percent and for which we exercise significant influence over the investee’s operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently adopted

Foreign currency matters

In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued an update which amends guidance on foreign currency matters and consolidations to address diversity in practice related to the release of cumulative translation adjustments, or CTA, into earnings upon the occurrence of certain de-recognition events. The update reflects a compromise between the CTA release guidance included within foreign currency matters and the loss of control concepts included within consolidation guidance. It precludes the release of CTA for de-recognition events that occur within a foreign entity, unless such events represent a complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. De-recognition events related to investments in a foreign entity result in the release of all CTA related to the derecognized foreign entity, even when a non-controlling financial interest is retained. The update also amends guidance on business combinations and for transactions that result in a company obtaining control of a business in a step acquisition by increasing an investment in a foreign entity from one accounted for under the equity method to one accounted for as a consolidated investment. This update should be applied prospectively and prior periods should not be adjusted. The update is effective for us beginning on August 1, 2014. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Not yet effective

Revenue from contracts with customers

In May 2014, the FASB issued an update which provides guidance for revenue recognition. This update affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. This update will supersede existing revenue recognition requirement and most industry-specific guidance. This update also supersedes some cost guidance, including revenue recognition guidance for construction-type and production-type contracts. The update’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. This update should be applied either on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. This update will be effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending July 31, 2018. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this update on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. Business Combinations

Pathfinder Therapeutics, Inc., or Pathfinder

On October 28, 2014, we acquired certain assets and assumed liabilities related to the surgical planning and guidance business of Pathfinder for $1.6 million paid in cash at the acquisition date. The acquisition has been accounted for as an acquisition of a business.

The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation based on preliminary estimates of the fair values of the separately identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. We continue to obtain information to complete our valuation of these accounts and the associated tax accounting:

(in millions)
Inventory and receivables				$	0.2
Goodwill					0.4
Intangible assets:
Developed technology (estimated useful life of 10 years)	$	0.7
Customer relationships (estimated useful life of 2 years)		0.3
Trade names (estimated useful life of 5 years)		0.1
Total intangible assets					1.1
Total assets acquired					1.7
Accrued liabilities		(0.1	)
Total liabilities assumed					(0.1	)
Total purchase price				$	1.6

We estimated the fair value of identifiable acquisition-related intangible assets primarily based on discounted cash flows projections that will arise from these assets. We use significant judgment with regard to assumptions used in the determination of fair value such as discount rates and the determination of the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets.

The total weighted average amortization period for the intangible assets is approximately 7.6 years. Goodwill associated with the acquisition was primarily attributable to the opportunities from the addition of Pathfinder’s product portfolio and technology which complement our suite of products. The goodwill from this acquisition will be deductible for tax purposes over the statutory 15 year period.

During the six months ended January 31, 2015, we incurred acquisition costs of approximately $0.1 million which consisted primarily of legal and due diligence expenses that are included in our general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The pro forma financial information for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, including revenue and net income, is immaterial, and has not been separately presented.

PocketSonics, Inc., or PocketSonics

In April 2010, we entered into an agreement with PocketSonics, Inc., or PocketSonics, a privately held ultrasound technology company based in Charlottesville, Virginia, which granted us an exclusive license to certain ultrasound technology owned or controlled by PocketSonics and a ten percent (10%) equity interest in PocketSonics. The equity investment was recorded as in-process research and development, or IPR&D, of $1.9 million. Since that time, we have collaborated with PocketSonics to develop patented ultrasound technology to enable the acceleration of high acuity guided procedures to lower cost point-of-care settings and other technical applications. On September 20, 2013, we acquired all of the remaining stock of PocketSonics. The purchase price includes base consideration of $11.1 million paid in cash at closing, fair value of contingent consideration of $1.9 million, and revaluation of our initial equity investment. We undertook this acquisition to further strengthen our competitive position in procedure guidance for point-of-care and other advanced guidance applications. The acquisition was funded from our existing cash on hand and has been accounted for as an acquisition of a business.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the separately identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of September 20, 2013:

(in millions)
Cash				$	0.5
Goodwill					6.9
IPR&D					11.5
Total assets acquired					18.9
Accounts payable and accrued expenses	$	(0.3	)
Deferred taxes		(4.1	)
Total liabilities assumed					(4.4	)
Total purchase price				$	14.5

In determining the fair value, we considered, among other factors, market participants’ intentions to use the acquired assets and the historical and estimated future demand for PocketSonics products and services. We recognized an IPR&D asset of $11.5 million. The fair value of the asset was determined by a probability adjusted cash flow analysis. In May 2014, we determined that the IPR&D was completed and reclassified as developed technology that is being amortized over its estimated useful life of 10 years.

In connection with this acquisition, we recorded a fair value contingent consideration obligation of $1.9 million, with potential exposure of up to $3.0 million payable upon the achievement of certain milestones relating to the PocketSonics technology. The contingent earn out payments to the sellers of PocketSonics would be payable upon commercial launch and achievement of volume sales target as defined in the asset purchase agreement. The $1.9 million fair value was estimated through a valuation model that incorporates probability adjusted assumptions relating to the achievement of these milestones and the likelihood of us making payments. This fair value measurement is based upon significant inputs not observable in the market and therefore represents a Level 3 input measurement. Subsequent changes in the fair value of this obligation will be recognized as adjustments to the contingent consideration liability and reflected within our Consolidated Statements of Operations within selling and marketing expenses. For additional information related to the fair value of this obligation, please refer to Note 7. Fair Value Measurements.

We also recorded a goodwill asset of $6.9 million, representing the value of the opportunity of further strengthening our competitive position in procedure guidance for point-of-care and other advanced guidance applications. The goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes.

We recognized a loss of $0.5 million related to our 10% pre-acquisition equity interest, which is reflected as a component of other expense, net within our Consolidated Statements of Operations during the six months ended January 31, 2014.

During the six months ended January 31, 2014, we incurred acquisition costs of approximately $0.1 million which consisted primarily of legal and due diligence expenses that are included in our general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

4. Accounts Receivable, Net

Our accounts receivable arise primarily from products sold and services provided in the U.S., Europe and Asia. The balance in accounts receivable represents the amount due from our domestic and foreign original equipment manufacturers, or OEM, customers, distributors and end users. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and continuously monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain a provision for estimated credit losses based upon specific customer collection issues that have been identified. We accrue reserves against trade receivables for estimated losses that may result from a customer’s inability to pay. Amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged or written off against the reserve. To date, our historical write-offs of accounts receivable have been minimal.

Our top ten customers combined accounted for approximately 62% and 68% of our total net revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and 63% and 66% of our total net revenue for the six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Set forth in the table below are customers which individually accounted for 10% or more of our net revenue.

2016		8.0
2017		7.2
2018		6.2
2019		5.0
Thereafter		15.5
	$	46.4

We performed the annual impairment test for our goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives as of December 31, 2014. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value and as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the qualitative impairment test. Alternatively, we may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed to the two-step quantitative impairment test. Our quantitative impairment assessment considered both the market approach and income approach to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit, with different probabilities assigned to each. Under the market approach, the fair value of the reporting unit is based on trading multiples and a control premium, which was determined based on an analysis of control premiums for recent relevant acquisitions. Under the income approach, the fair value of the reporting unit is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. The income approach is dependent on a number of significant management assumptions including estimates of future sales, future gross margin percentage, and discount rates. We determined that the fair values of our reporting units were in excess of their carrying values, and concluded that there was no impairment.

We compared the fair value of a tradename that has an indefinite life using the relief from royalty approach to its carrying value as of December 31, 2014. The relief from royalty approach utilized an after-tax royalty rate and a discount rate. The after-tax royalty rate was determined based on royalty research and margin analysis while the discount rate was determined after consideration of market rates of return on debt and equity capital, the weighted average return on invested capital and the risk associated with achieving forecasted sales for the tradename. We determined that the fair value of the tradename was in excess of its carrying value.

7. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in a principal or the most advantageous market for the asset transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. We use a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value:

• Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The following table provides the assets and liabilities carried at fair value and measured on a recurring basis at January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014:

	Fair Value Measurements at January 31, 2015
(in millions)	Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Total liabilities at fair value	$	2.6	$	-	$	0.6	$	2.0
	Fair Value Measurements at July 31, 2014

Liabilities
Contingent consideration	$	2.1	$	-	$	-	$	2.1
Total liabilities at fair value	$	2.1	$	-	$	-	$	2.1

Assets held in the deferred compensation plan will be used to pay benefits under our non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The investments primarily consist of mutual funds which are publicly traded on stock exchanges. Accordingly, the fair value of these assets are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of the liabilities arising from our foreign currency forward contracts is determined by valuation models based on market observable inputs, including forward and spot prices for currencies. Accordingly, the fair value of these liabilities are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

(Unaudited, in millions, except share and per share data)

The fair value of our contingent consideration obligation is based on significant unobservable inputs, including management estimates and assumptions, and is measured based on the probability-weighted present value of the payments expected to be made. Accordingly, the fair value of this liability is categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of the contingent payments associated with the acquisition of PocketSonics was calculated utilizing 100% probability for the earn out associated with the Section 510(k) clearance obtained from the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, on April 9, 2014 and the anticipation of commercial sales, as defined in the purchase agreement, in the fiscal year ending July 31, 2015, or fiscal year 2015. The fair value of contingent consideration payments associated with the sales volume target earnout was calculated using a discount rate of 27%. Each quarter we revalue the contingent consideration obligations associated with the acquisition of PocketSonics to its then current fair value and record changes in the fair value to the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Changes in contingent consideration result from changes in the assumptions regarding probabilities of the estimated timing of launch, volume sales target, payments and the discount rate used to estimate the fair value of the liability. The assumptions used in estimating fair value require significant judgment. The use of different assumptions and judgments could result in a materially different estimate of fair value. There was a $0.1 million decrease in the fair value of our contingent consideration obligation during the three and six months ended January 31, 2015.

8. Derivative Instruments

Certain of our foreign operations have revenue and expenses transacted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. In order to mitigate foreign currency exchange risk, we use forward contracts to lock in exchange rates associated with a portion of our forecasted international expenses.

As of January 31, 2015, we had forward contracts outstanding denominated in Canadian dollars with notional amounts totaling $6.1 million. These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and the unrealized loss of $0.4 million, net of tax, on these contracts is reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of January 31, 2015, the fair value of derivatives designated as hedging instruments are presented in Other current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. There were no outstanding derivatives as of July 31, 2014. Realized gains and losses on the cash flow hedges are recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period when the payment of expenses is recognized. During the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, the realized loss on these cash flow hedges were immaterial. We expect all contracts currently outstanding to settle as of July 31, 2015 and any amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to be reported as an adjustment to operating expenses.

9. Common Stock Repurchases

On June 2, 2014, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $30.0 million of our common stock. Repurchases under this program will be funded by our available cash. The repurchase program does not have a fixed expiration date. During the three and six months ended January 31, 2015, we repurchased and retired 41,737 and 94,483 shares of common stock under this repurchase program for $3.3 million and $7.0 million, at an average purchase price of $78.54 and $73.65 per share, respectively. Through January 31, 2015, in total we have repurchased and retired 113,166 shares of common stock under this repurchase program for $8.4 million at an average purchase price of $74.07 per share.

10. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

Components of comprehensive income include net income and certain transactions that have generally been reported in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity. Other comprehensive income consists of reported foreign currency translation gains and losses (net of taxes), actuarial gains and losses on pension plan assets (net of taxes), and changes in the unrealized value on foreign currency forward contracts (net of taxes). Deferred taxes are not provided on cumulative translation adjustments where we expect earnings of a foreign subsidiary to be indefinitely reinvested. The income tax effect of currency translation adjustments related to foreign subsidiaries that are not considered indefinitely reinvested is recorded as a component of deferred taxes with an offset to other comprehensive income.

Stock options

We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the exercise price of the award, the expected option term, the expected volatility of our stock over the option’s expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the option’s expected term, and our expected annual dividend yield. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by persons who receive equity awards.

We granted 3,101 and 78,846 stock options during the three and six months ended January 31, 2015, respectively. The fair value of each option granted during the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014 was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions:

	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
	January 31,					January 31,
	2015			2014		2015			2014
Expected option term in years (1)		5.31			n/a		5.31			5.37
Expected volatility (2)		28.2	%		n/a		29.3	%		38.6	%
Risk-free interest rate (3)		1.65	%		n/a		1.82	%		1.77	%
Expected annual dividend yield (4)		0.54	%		n/a		0.56	%		0.52	%
Weighted average grant date fair value	$	19.89			n/a	$	19.95		$	27.54

(1) The expected option term was estimated using historical data.

(2) The expected volatility for each grant is determined based on the review of the average of historical daily price changes of our common stock over the expected option term.

(3) The risk free interest rate for periods equal to the expected term of the stock option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

(4) The expected annual dividend yield is calculated by dividing the expected annual dividends by the stock price on the date of grant.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 was $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

As of January 31, 2015, 384,002 stock options were vested or expected to vest and 212,837 stock options were exercisable. These options have a weighted average exercise price of $65.63 and $59.47, respectively, aggregate intrinsic value of $6.1 million and $4.7 million, respectively, and a weighted average remaining contractual term of 4.97 years and 4.14 years, respectively.

Restricted stock and restricted stock units

We granted 1,184 and 28,249 relative total shareholder return, or TSR, and 1,526 and 36,376 non-GAAP earnings per share, or EPS, performance-based awards during the three and six months ended January 31, 2015, respectively. The fair value of our non-GAAP EPS performance-based awards was estimated using the quoted closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of our TSR performance-based awards at the date of grant was estimated using the Monte-Carlo simulation model with the following assumptions:

	Three Months  Ended January 31,					Six Months Ended January  31,
	2015			2014		2015			2014
Stock price (1)	$	73.91			n/a	$	71.34		$	77.08
Expected volatility (2)		28.4	%		n/a		29.4	%		27.6	%
Risk-free interest rate (3)		0.83	%		n/a		1.00	%		0.82	%
Expected annual dividend yield (4)		0.00	%		n/a		0.00	%		0.00	%
Weighted average grant date fair value of performance based restricted stock awards	$	82.49			n/a	$	78.42		$	93.76

(1) The stock price is the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.

(2) The expected volatility for each grant is determined based on the historical volatility for the peer group companies and our common stock over a period equal to the remaining term of the performance period from the date of grant for all awards.

(3) The risk free interest rate for periods equal to the performance period is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

(4) Dividends are considered reinvested when calculating TSR. The dividend yield is therefore considered to be 0%.

The total fair value of restricted stock units, or RSU’s, that vested during the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 was $0.2 million and $5.4 million, respectively.

As of January 31, 2015, the unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested stock options and restricted stock was $13.5 million. This cost will be recognized over an estimated weighted average amortization period of 1.7 years and assumes target performance for the non-GAAP EPS performance-based RSU’s.

12. Restructuring Charges

Fiscal Year 2014 Restructuring Plan

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, we implemented our fiscal year 2014 restructuring plan to improve our operational effectiveness in Peabody, Massachusetts and leverage core competencies better across the business. We incurred pre-tax charges of $2.7 million from the time that we implemented the plan during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014 through January 31, 2015, primarily relating to severance and personnel related costs for involuntarily terminated employees. We expect that the restructuring plan will be completed during fiscal year 2015. During the six months ended January 31, 2015, we recorded a reduction of $0.1 million in our restructuring costs.

Fiscal Year 2013 Restructuring Plan

In May 2013, we announced our fiscal year ended July 31, 2013, or fiscal year 2013, restructuring plan and incurred pre-tax charges of $4.0 million through January 31, 2015, primarily relating to severance and personnel related costs of 115 terminated employees, facility exit costs for the closure of the Ultrasonix sales subsidiary in Paris, France, and the closure of our ultrasound transducer operation in Englewood, Colorado as we consolidate our transducer operations in State College, Pennsylvania. This plan also includes activities to consolidate manufacturing and certain support functions currently conducted in our Ultrasonix facility in Vancouver, Canada with our other facilities, as well as optimization of our operations in Montreal, Canada and Peabody, Massachusetts. During the six months ended January 31, 2015, we incurred $(0.1) million related to the Englewood, Colorado facility. We expect that the restructuring plan will be completed in fiscal year 2017 when the lease on the Englewood, Colorado facility ends.

13. Net Income Per Common Share

Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and, if dilutive, the weighted average number of potential shares of common stock, including unvested restricted stock and the assumed exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method.

Basic and diluted net income per share are calculated as follows:

14. Income Taxes

The following table presents the provision for (benefit from) income taxes and our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014:

	Three Months  Ended January 31,						Six Months Ended January  31,
(in millions)	2015			2014			2015			2014
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes	$	2.3		$	(6.6	)	$	3.7		$	(8.6	)
Effective tax rate		19	%		-52	%		22	%		-124	%

The effective income tax rate on continuing operations is based upon the estimated income for the year, the composition of the income in different countries, and adjustments, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods for the potential tax consequences, benefits, resolutions of tax audits or other tax contingencies.

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 is lower than the statutory rate of 35% due primarily to income generated outside the United States in countries with lower tax rates, the U.S. manufacturing deduction, and tax credits in the U.S. and Canada. The tax provision for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 includes a discrete tax benefit totaling $0.8 million resulting from the extension by the U.S. Congress during the quarter of U.S. Federal tax credits for research and development, or R&D.

Our effective tax rate before discrete items for the three and six months ended January 31, 2014 was lower than the statutory rate of 35%, primarily due to lower foreign tax rates, and tax credits in the U.S. and Canada. The tax provision for the three and six months ended January 31, 2014 included certain discrete tax benefits totaling $10.2 million and $10.6 million, respectively. The discrete tax benefit for the three months ended January 31, 2014, consisted primarily of a reduction in a net deferred tax liability of $8.8 million associated with a change in classification of our Canadian operations, and a reduction in uncertain tax positions primarily associated with U.S. Federal tax credits for R&D, of $0.9 million following the conclusion of the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, review for the fiscal year 2009, along with $0.5 million of other items. For the six months ended January 31, 2014, the discrete tax benefit also included a reduction of our valuation allowance for Massachusetts R&D credits and federal amended return claims, partially offset by changes in statutory tax rates in the jurisdictions in which we operate.

We are subject to U.S. Federal income tax as well as the income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. As of January 31, 2015, we have concluded all U.S. Federal income tax matters through the year ended July 31, 2010. We accrue interest and, if applicable, penalties for any uncertain tax positions. This interest and penalty expense is treated as a component of income tax expense. At January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014, we had approximately $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively, accrued for interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits.

At January 31, 2015, we had $6.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions and $0.7 million of related accrued interest and penalties. We are unable to reasonably estimate the amount and period in which these liabilities might be paid.

15. Segment Information

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

• Medical Imaging primarily includes systems and subsystems for Computed Tomography, or CT, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or 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.

16. Guarantees, Commitments and Contingencies

Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations

Our standard OEM and supply agreements entered in the ordinary course of business typically contain an indemnification provision pursuant to which we indemnify, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party in connection with any U.S. patent or any copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to our products. Such provisions generally survive termination or expiration of the agreements. The potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is, in some instances, unlimited. Our costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements have been insignificant to date. As a result, we believe that our estimated exposure on these agreements is currently minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of January 31, 2015.

Generally, we warrant that our products will perform in all material respects in accordance with our standard published specifications in effect at the time of delivery of the products to the customer for a period ranging from 12 to 60 months from the date of delivery. We provide for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims, claim history, and engineering estimates, where applicable.

The following table presents our product warranty liability as of January 31, 2015:

(in millions)	As of January 31, 2015
Product warranty liability, as of July 31, 2014	$	6.0
Provision		2.8
Settlements made in cash or in kind during the period		(2.1	)
Product warranty liability, as of January 31, 2015	$	6.7

At January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014, we had deferred revenue for extended product warranty contracts of $5.9 million and $7.4 million, respectively.

Revolving Credit Agreements

On October 11, 2011, we entered into a five-year, revolving credit agreement, or Credit Agreement, with the financial institutions identified therein as lenders, which included Santander Bank, TD Bank, N.A., and HSBC Bank USA, National Association. The Credit Agreement provides $100.0 million in available credit and expires on October 10, 2016, when all outstanding borrowings will be payable in full. The credit facility does not require amortization of principal and may be reduced before maturity in whole or in part at our option without penalty.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes, including permitted acquisitions. The amount of available credit can be increased under specified circumstances up to $150.0 million in aggregate. We are the sole borrower under the Credit Agreement. The obligations under the new credit facility are guaranteed by our material domestic subsidiaries and are supported by a pledge of 65% of the capital stock and equity equivalents of our principal international subsidiary.

Interest rates on borrowings outstanding under the credit facility would range from 1.25% to 2.00% above the LIBOR rate, or, at our option would range from 0.00% to 1.00% above the defined base rate, in each case based upon our leverage ratio. A quarterly commitment fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.35% per annum is applicable on the undrawn portion of the credit facility, based upon our leverage ratio.

The Credit Agreement limits us and our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; incur liens or guarantee obligations; pay dividends or make other distributions; make investments; dispose of assets; and engage in transactions with affiliates except on an arms-length basis. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires us to maintain the following financial ratios:

• A leverage ratio, defined as consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated trailing four quarters earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, of no greater than 2.75:1.00 at any time; and

• An interest coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of consolidated trailing four quarters EBITDA to consolidated interest charges of no less than 3.00:1.00 at any time.

As of January 31, 2015 our leverage ratio was .004 and our interest coverage ratio was not applicable as we had no attributable interest expense. As of January 31, 2015, we were in full compliance with all financial and operating covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.

Any failure to comply with the financial or operating covenants of the credit facility would prevent us from being able to borrow and would also constitute a default, permitting the lenders to, among other things, accelerate repayment of outstanding borrowings, including all accrued interest and fees, and to terminate the credit facility. A change in control, as defined in the Credit Agreement, would also constitute an event of default, permitting the lenders to accelerate repayment and terminate the Credit Agreement.

In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, we incurred approximately $0.5 million of transactions costs, which are being expensed over the five-year life of the credit facility.

As of January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014, we had approximately $1.4 million and $4.4 million, respectively, in other revolving credit facilities with banks available for direct borrowings. We did not have any borrowing outstanding under credit facilities at January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014.

Legal Claims

We are subject to litigation, claims, investigations and audits arising from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Although legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable, we believe that we have valid defenses with respect to those matters currently pending against us and intend to defend ourselves vigorously. The outcome of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material impact on our cash flows, results of operations, or financial position. In addition to litigation claims, investigations, and audits arising in the normal course of business, we are also subject to an investigation regarding our Danish subsidiary. Please refer to the following disclosure for more details regarding the investigation of our Danish subsidiary. We record losses when estimable and probable in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Investigation Regarding our Danish Subsidiary

As initially disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011, we identified certain transactions involving our Danish subsidiary BK Medical ApS, or BK Medical, and certain of its foreign distributors, with respect to which we have raised questions concerning compliance with law, including Danish law and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and our business policies. These have included transactions in which the distributors paid BK Medical amounts in excess of amounts owed and BK Medical transferred the excess amounts, at the direction of the distributors, to third parties identified by the distributors. We have terminated the employment of certain BK Medical employees and also terminated our relationships with the BK Medical distributors that were involved in the transactions. We have concluded that the transactions identified to date have been properly accounted for in our reported financial statements in all material respects. However, we have been unable to ascertain with certainty the ultimate beneficiaries or the purpose of these transfers. We have voluntarily disclosed this matter to the Danish Government, the U.S. Department of Justice, or DOJ, and the SEC, and are cooperating with inquiries by the Danish Government, the DOJ and the SEC. We believe that the SEC and DOJ have substantially completed their investigation into the transactions at issue and that it is reasonably likely that one or both of these entities may seek to impose sanctions and/or penalties on us in connection with a resolution of their inquiries. We are unable to estimate the potential penalties and/or sanctions that may ultimately be assessed. During the three and six months ended January 31, 2015, we incurred inquiry-related costs of approximately $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in connection with this matter. During the three and six months ended January 31, 2014, we incurred inquiry-related costs of approximately $0.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in connection with this matter.

17. Subsequent Event

We declared a dividend of $0.10 per share of common stock on March 5, 2015, which will be paid on April 3, 2015 to stockholders of record on March 20, 2015.

Results of Operations

Three and six months ended January 31, 2015 compared to the three and six months ended January 31, 2014

Net revenue

Product revenue

Product revenue by segment is summarized as follows:

	Three Months  Ended January 31,				Percentage Change			Six Months Ended January  31,				Percentage Change
(in millions)	2015		2014					2015		2014
Medical Imaging	$	71.8	$	78.4		-8	%	$	138.1	$	137.6		0	%
Ultrasound		41.8		40.1		4	%		79.1		74.8		6	%
Security and Detection		17.7		20.9		-16	%		31.0		35.5		-13	%
Total product revenue	$	131.3	$	139.4		-6	%	$	248.2	$	247.9		0	%

Medical Imaging

During the three months ended January 31, 2015, our Medical Imaging revenue decreased by 8% versus the prior year comparable period mainly due to lower volumes in the MRI and CT product lines. During the six months ended January 31, 2015, our Medical Imaging revenue was relatively flat compared to the prior year comparable period.

Ultrasound

During the three and six months ended January 31, 2015, our Ultrasound revenue increased by 4% and 6%, respectively, versus the prior year comparable periods primarily driven by growing direct sales in North America and China, augmented by higher sales of OEM Ultrasound transducers. The growth in our direct sales revenues was partially offset by unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation (4% and 3% for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015, respectively).

23

Security and Detection

During the three and six months ended January 31, 2015, our Security and Detection revenue declined by 16% and 13%, respectively, versus the prior year comparable periods as a result of lower volumes due to timing of shipments of our high speed explosive detection systems outside the United States. Timing of high speed shipments is highly dependent on large airport tenders which may have award dates that are difficult to predict.

Engineering revenue

Engineering revenue by segment is summarized as follows:

	Three Months  Ended January 31,				Percentage Change			Six Months Ended January  31,				Percentage Change
	2015		2014					2015		2014
(in millions)
Medical Imaging	$	1.3	$	1.2		12	%	$	1.8	$	2.2		-22	%
Ultrasound		0.7		-		100	%		1.2		-		100	%
Security and Detection		0.6		0.8		-15	%		1.1		1.4		-19	%
Total engineering revenue	$	2.6	$	2.0		35	%	$	4.1	$	3.6		12	%

Medical Imaging

The slight increase in engineering revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2015 versus the prior year comparable period was due primarily to timing of work done on customer funded engineering projects. The decrease in engineering revenue for the six months ended January 31, 2015 versus the prior year comparable period was due primarily to the completion of customer funded engineering products that have moved into production. Customer-funded engineering projects can vary substantially from period to period in terms of resource requirements, type, size, length of project, and profitability.

Ultrasound

The increase for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 compared to the prior year comparable periods was related to a new customer-funded project in the Ultrasound segment that began in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014. Customer-funded engineering projects can vary substantially from period to period in terms of resource requirements, type, size, length of project, and profitability.

Security and Detection

The decrease in engineering revenue for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 versus the prior year comparable periods was due primarily to the timing of customer-funded engineering projects. Customer-funded engineering projects can vary substantially from period to period in terms of resource requirements, type, size, length of project, and profitability.

Gross margin

Product gross margin

Product gross margin is summarized as follows:

	Three Months  Ended January 31,						Percentage Change			Six Months Ended January  31,						Percentage Change
(in millions)	2015			2014						2015			2014
Product gross profit	$	57.2		$	60.6			-6	%	$	109.0		$	103.5			5	%
Product gross margin		43.6	%		43.5	%					43.9	%		41.8	%

The small increase in product gross margin during the three months ended January 31, 2015 versus the prior year comparable period was due primarily to improvements in manufacturing efficiency. The improvement in product gross margin during the six months ended January 31, 2015 versus the prior year comparable period was due primarily to improved efficiency and yield in our manufacturing process along with favorable product mix.

24

Engineering gross margin

Engineering gross margin is summarized as follows:

	Three Months Ended January 31,						Percentage Change			Six Months Ended January 31,						Percentage Change
(in millions)	2015			2014						2015			2014
Engineering gross profit	$	0.3		$	0.4			-28	%	$	0.5		$	0.5			0	%
Engineering gross margin		10.2	%		21.0	%					11.2	%		13.6	%

The decrease in the engineering gross margin in the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 versus the prior year comparable periods was related to the mix of engineering projects.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses are summarized as follows:

	Three Months Ended January 31,					Percentage Change			Percentage of Net Revenue
(in millions)	2015			2014					2015			2014
Research and product development	$	16.4		$	20.0		-18	%		12	%		14	%
Selling and marketing		15.9			14.7		8	%		12	%		10	%
General and administrative		13.1			13.0		1	%		10	%		9	%
Restructuring		(0.2	)		0.3		-145	%		0	%		0	%
Total operating expenses	$	45.2		$	48.0		-6	%		34	%		33	%

	Six Months Ended   January 31,					Percentage Change			Percentage of Net Revenue
(in millions)	2015			2014					2015			2014
Research and product development	$	33.8		$	38.9		-13	%		14	%		15	%
Selling and marketing		31.3			29.2		7	%		12	%		12	%
General and administrative		27.3			27.9		-2	%		11	%		11	%
Restructuring		(0.2	)		0.3		-171	%		0	%		0	%
Total operating expenses	$	92.2		$	96.3		-4	%		37	%		38	%

Operating expenses for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 decreased by $2.8 million, or 6%, and $4.1 million, or 4%, versus the prior year comparable periods, respectively.

Research and product development expenses are related to internally funded projects and decreased by $3.6 million and $5.1 million during the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 versus the prior year comparable periods, respectively, as a result of cost control actions taken in fiscal year 2014, including the restructuring activity reported in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014.

Selling and marketing expenses increased by $1.2 million and $2.1 million during the three and six months ended January 31, 2015, versus the prior year comparable periods, respectively, due primarily to higher incentive compensation costs associated with higher revenues and costs associated with the introduction of new products.

General and administrative expenses increased slightly by $0.1 million during the three months ended January 31, 2015 versus the prior year comparable period mainly due to incremental incentive compensation. General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.6 million during the six months ended January 31, 2015 versus the prior year comparable period as a result of cost control actions taken in fiscal year 2014.

25

Other expense, net

Other expense, net is summarized as follows:

	Three Months  Ended January 31,						Six Months Ended January  31,
(in millions)	2015			2014			2015			2014
Interest income, net	$	-		$	0.1		$	0.1		$	0.2
Others, net		(0.2	)		(0.5	)		(0.2	)		(1.0	)
Total other expense, net	$	(0.2	)	$	(0.4	)	$	(0.1	)	$	(0.8	)

Other expense, net during the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014 was predominantly due to foreign currency exchange gains (losses) from our foreign subsidiaries. Other expense, net during the six months ended January 31, 2014 also included the recognition of a $0.5 million loss related to our 10% pre-acquisition equity interest in PocketSonics. Please refer to Note 3. Business Combinations for further information about this acquisition.

Provision for (benefit from) income taxes

The following table presents the provision for (benefit from) income taxes and our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014:

	Three Months  Ended January 31,						Six Months  Ended January 31,
(in millions)	2015			2014			2015			2014
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes	$	2.3		$	(6.6	)	$	3.7		$	(8.6	)
Effective tax rate		19	%		-52	%		22	%		-124	%

The effective income tax rate on continuing operations is based upon the estimated income for the year, the composition of the income in different countries, and adjustments, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods for the potential tax consequences, benefits, resolutions of tax audits or other tax contingencies.

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 is lower than the statutory rate of 35% due primarily to income generated outside the United States in countries which carry lower tax rates, the U.S. manufacturing deduction, and tax credits in the U.S. and Canada. The tax provision for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 includes a discrete tax benefit totaling $0.8 million resulting from the extension by the U.S. Congress during the quarter of U.S. Federal tax credits for research and development, or R&D.

Our effective tax rate before discrete items for the three and six months ended January 31, 2014 was lower than the statutory rate of 35%, primarily due to lower foreign tax rates, and tax credits in the U.S. and Canada. The tax provision for the three and six months ended January 31, 2014 included certain discrete tax benefits totaling $10.2 million and $10.6 million, respectively. The discrete tax benefit for the three months ended January 31, 2014, consisted primarily of a reduction in a net deferred tax liability of $8.8 million associated with a change in classification of our Canadian operations, and a reduction in uncertain tax positions primarily associated with U.S. Federal tax credits for R&D, for $0.9 million following the conclusion of the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, review for the fiscal year 2009, along with $0.5 million of other items. For the six months ended January 31, 2014, the discrete tax benefit also included a reduction of our valuation allowance for Massachusetts R&D credits and federal amended return claims, partially offset by changes in statutory tax rates in the jurisdictions in which we operate.

We do not provide for U.S. Federal income taxes on undistributed earnings of consolidated foreign subsidiaries, as such earnings are intended to be indefinitely reinvested in those operations. Determination of the potential deferred income tax liability on these undistributed earnings is not practicable because such liability, if any, is dependent on circumstances that exist if and when remittance occurs. The circumstances that would affect the calculations would be the source location and amount of the distribution, the underlying tax rate already paid on the earnings, foreign withholding taxes and the opportunity to use foreign tax credits.

Net income and diluted net income per share

Net income and diluted net income per share are summarized as follows:

	Three Months  Ended January 31,						Six Months  Ended January 31,
(in millions)	2015			2014			2015			2014
Net income	$	9.8		$	19.3		$	13.5		$	15.5
% of net revenue		7	%		14	%		5	%		6	%
Diluted net income per share from operations	$	0.78		$	1.53		$	1.07		$	1.23

The decrease in net income and diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 versus the prior year comparable periods was due primarily to the non-recurring tax benefits recognized in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Key liquidity and capital resource information are summarized as follows:

(in millions)	As of     January 31,     2015		As of     July 31,     2014		Percentage Change
Cash and cash equivalents (A)	$	116.2	$	114.5		1	%
Working capital	$	298.9	$	289.3		3	%
Stockholders’ equity	$	512.6	$	512.6		0	%

(A) Includes approximately $59.4 million and $57.9 million of cash and cash equivalents held outside the U.S. at January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014, respectively.

The increase in cash and cash equivalents from July 31, 2014 to January 31, 2015 was due primarily to net income of $13.5 million on growing operating profit during the period and the collection of accounts receivable of $9.2 million, which was partially offset by increases in our inventory of $14.6 million as well as the net cash payment of $1.6 million for the acquisition of Pathfinder in October 2014 from existing cash on hand. The increase in working capital from July 31, 2014 to January 31, 2015 was related primarily to payment of accounts payable of $6.9 million.

Cash and cash equivalents at January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014 primarily consisted of demand deposits at highly rated banks and financial institutions. We periodically review our investment portfolio to determine if any investments are impaired due to changes in credit risk or other potential valuation concerns. We believe that our cash equivalents were appropriately valued at January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014 and we are not aware of any market events that would impact their valuation. This could change in the future should new developments arise in the credit markets.

Cash flows

Sources and uses of cash flows are summarized as follows:

	Six Months Ended January 31,						Percentage Change
(in millions except percentages)	2015			2014
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	19.3		$	25.2			-23	%
Net cash used in investing activities		(6.5	)		(19.1	)		-66	%
Net cash used in financing activities		(7.2	)		(8.1	)		-12	%
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash		(4.0	)		-			100	%
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	1.6		$	(2.0	)		178	%

27

Operating activities

The cash flows provided by operating activities during the six months ended January 31, 2015 primarily reflects our net income of $13.5 million on increased gross profit and operating profit during the period as well as collections of accounts receivable of $9.2 million. This was partially offset by an increase in inventory of $14.6 million to support growing demand and new product launches in fiscal year 2015.

The cash flows provided by operating activities during the six months ended January 31, 2014 primarily reflects our net income of $15.5 million, collections of accounts receivable of $19.1 million and a decrease in inventory of $2.4 million. This was partially offset by a decrease in accrued income taxes of $10.0 million and a decrease in accrued liabilities of $12.4 million.

Investing activities

The net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended January 31, 2015 was primarily driven by purchases of property, plant and equipment of $4.9 million as well as the acquisition of Pathfinder for $1.6 million.

The net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended January 31, 2014 was primarily driven by the acquisition of PocketSonics, net of cash acquired, of $10.6 million as well as purchases of property, plant and equipment of $8.7 million.

Financing activities

The net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended January 31, 2015 primarily reflected $7.0 million used to repurchase common stock, $2.6 million of dividends paid to stockholders and $1.7 million used for shares surrendered for taxes paid related to vested employee restricted stock. This was partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of common stock amounting to $3.6 million associated with stock option exercises.

The net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended January 31, 2014 primarily reflected $7.0 million used to repurchase common stock, and $6.2 million of shares surrendered for taxes paid related to vested employee restricted stock. This was partially offset by the issuance of stock with a value of $4.3 million associated with share-based compensation.

We believe that our balances of cash and cash equivalents and cash flows expected to be generated by future operating activities will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Commitments, Contractual Obligations, and Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

Our contractual obligations at January 31, 2015, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on liquidity and cash flows in future periods are as follows:

(in millions)	Total		Less Than 1 Year		1 - 3 years		3 - 5 years		More than 5 years
Operating leases	$	8.1	$	1.4	$	3.8	$	2.1	$	0.8
Purchase obligations		45.6		40.0		5.6		-		-
Pension		4.1		0.1		0.6		0.7		2.7
Total contractual obligations	$	57.8	$	41.5	$	10.0	$	2.8	$	3.5

Financing Arrangements

On October 11, 2011, we entered into a five-year, revolving credit agreement, or Credit Agreement with the financial institutions identified therein as lenders, which included Santander Bank, TD Bank, N.A., and HSBC Bank USA, National Association. The Credit Agreement provides $100.0 million in available credit and expires on October 10, 2016, when all outstanding borrowings will be payable in full. The credit facility does not require amortization of principal and may be reduced before maturity in whole or in part at our option without penalty. We did not have any borrowings outstanding under this Credit Agreement as of January 31, 2015. Please refer to Note 16. Guarantees, Commitments and Contingencies for details.

As of January 31, 2015, we also have approximately $1.4 million in other revolving credit facilities with banks available for direct borrowings.

Contingent Consideration

In connection with the acquisition of PocketSonics, as of January 31, 2015, we recorded a contingent consideration obligation of $2.0 million. Please refer to Note 3. Business Combinations for more information.

Tax Related Obligations

We have $6.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions and $0.7 million of related accrued interest and penalties as of January 31, 2015. We are unable to reasonably estimate the amount and period in which these liabilities might be paid. Please refer to Note 14. Income Taxes to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding matters relating to income taxes, including unrecognized tax benefits.

Impact of Investigation Regarding our Danish Subsidiary

As initially disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011, we identified certain transactions involving our Danish subsidiary BK Medical ApS, or BK Medical, and certain of its foreign distributors, with respect to which we have raised questions concerning compliance with law, including Danish law and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and our business policies. These have included transactions in which the distributors paid BK Medical amounts in excess of amounts owed and BK Medical transferred the excess amounts, at the direction of the distributors, to third parties identified by the distributors. We have terminated the employment of certain BK Medical employees and also terminated our relationships with the BK Medical distributors that were involved in the transactions. We have concluded that the transactions identified to date have been properly accounted for in our reported financial statements in all material respects. However, we have been unable to ascertain with certainty the ultimate beneficiaries or the purpose of these transfers. We have voluntarily disclosed this matter to the Danish Government, the U.S. Department of Justice, or DOJ, and the SEC and are cooperating with inquiries by the Danish Government, the DOJ and the SEC. We believe that the SEC and DOJ have substantially completed their investigation into the transactions at issue and that it is reasonably likely that one or both of these entities may seek to impose sanctions and/or penalties on us in connection with a resolution of their inquiries. We are unable to estimate the potential penalties and/or sanctions that may ultimately be assessed. During the three months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, we incurred inquiry-related costs of approximately $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in connection with this matter. During the six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, we incurred inquiry-related costs of approximately $1.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in connection with this matter.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of new accounting standards please refer to Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements to our consolidated financial statements included within this report.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accompanying discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. Our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. These policies include estimates and significant judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.

For a detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies, please refer to Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, beginning on page 44, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2014 filed with the SEC on September 26, 2014. Those policies and the estimates involved in their application relate to revenue recognition, inventory write-down, share-based compensation, warranty reserves, business combinations, and impairment of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets, income tax contingencies, and deferred tax valuation allowances. We continue to evaluate our estimates and judgments on an on-going basis. By their nature, these policies require management to make difficult and subjective judgments, often on matters that are inherently uncertain. Our estimates and judgments are based on our historical experience, terms of existing contracts, observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers, and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our market risks and the ways we manage them were summarized in Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2014 filed with SEC on September 26, 2014. There have been no material changes during the six months ended January 31, 2015 to our market risks or to our management of such risks.

29

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2015. The term “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions to be made regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that any system of controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met and that management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2015, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended January 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

For a discussion of legal matters as of January 31, 2015, please refer to Note 16. Guarantees, Commitments and Contingencies to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2014 filed with the SEC on September 26, 2014, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, and future operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results. There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2014.

Exhibit 10.1

ANALOGIC CORPORATION

1997 NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN

FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

DATED JANUARY 31, 1997,

AS AMENDED DECEMBER 8, 2003, SEPTEMBER 20, 2006, AND MARCH 4, 2015

1. Purpose

The purpose of this 1997 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors is to attract and retain the services of experienced and knowledgeable independent directors of the Corporation for the benefit of the corporation and its stockholders and to provide additional incentives for such independent directors to continue to work for the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholders through continuing ownership of its common stock.

2. Definitions

As used herein, each of the following terms has the indicated meaning:

“Corporation” means Analogic Corporation.

“Fair Market Value” means high and low sale price quoted on the NASDAQ or such other national securities exchange on which the shares may be traded on the date of the granting of the Option.

“Option” means the contractual right to purchase shares upon the specific terms set forth in this Plan.

“Option Exercise Period” means the period commencing one (1) year after the date of grant of an Option pursuant to this Plan and ending ten (10) years from the date of grant.

“Plan” means this Analogic Corporation 1997 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors.

“Shares” means the Common Stock, $.05 par value, of the Corporation.

“Subsidiary” means any corporation in an unbroken chain of corporations beginning with the Corporation if, at the time of grant of the Option, each of the corporations other than the last in the unbroken chain owns stock representing fifty (50%) percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock in one of the other corporations in such chain.

3. Stock Subject to the Plan

The aggregate number of Shares that may be issued and sold under the Plan shall be 150,000 shares. The Shares to be issued upon exercise of Options granted under this Plan shall be made available, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, from (i) treasury shares and Shares reacquired by the Corporation for such purposes, including Shares purchased in the open market, (ii) authorized but unissued Shares, and (iii) Shares previously reserved for issuance upon exercise of Options which have expired or been terminated. If any Option granted under this Plan shall expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased Shares covered thereby shall become available for grant under additional Options under the Plan so long as it shall remain in effect.

4. Administration of the Plan

The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”). The Board shall, subject to the provisions of the Plan, grant options under the Plan and shall have the power to construe the Plan, to determine all questions as to eligibility, and to adopt and amend such rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan as it may deem desirable.

5. Eligibility; Grant of Option

Options will be granted only to directors of the Corporation or of a Subsidiary who are not otherwise employees of the Corporation or any Subsidiary (“Non-Employee Directors”). Each new Non-Employee Director who is elected to the Board shall be granted an option to acquire 5,000 Shares, effective as of the date he or she is first elected to the Board. Every four (4) years from the date on which a Non-Employee Director was last granted a Non-Employee Director option under this Plan, that Non-Employee Director shall be granted an option to acquire 5,000 Shares, effective as of the date of that fourth anniversary.

6. Terms of Options and Limitations Thereon

(a) Option Agreement. Each Option granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by an Option agreement between the Corporation and the Option holder and shall be upon such terms and conditions not inconsistent with this Plan, as the Board may determine.

(b) Price. The price at which any Shares may be purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant, but in no event shall the price be less than the par value of the Shares.

(c) Exercise of Option. Subject to Paragraphs 4 and 7 of this Plan, each Option granted under this Plan may be exercised in full at one time or in part from time to time only during the Option Exercise Period by the giving of written notice, signed by the

person or persons exercising the Option, to the Corporation stating the numbers of Shares with respect to which the option is being exercised, accompanied by full payment for such Shares pursuant to Section 7(b) hereof; provided however, if a person to whom an Option has been granted retires or dies during the Option Exercise Period, such Option shall be exercisable by him or her or by the executors, administrators, legatees or distributees of his or her estate during the (i) twelve (12) months following his or her retirement or death; and, (ii) if a person to whom an Option has been granted ceases to be a Non-Employee Director of the Corporation for any cause other than retirement or death, such Option shall be exercisable during the seven month period following the date such person ceased to be a Non-Employee Director, but, in any event, only to the extent vested pursuant to Section 7(a) hereof.

(d) Non-Assignability. No Option or right or interest in an Option shall be assignable or transferable by the holder, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution and during the lifetime of the holder, shall be exercisable only by him or her.

7. Vesting; Payment

(a) Subject to Paragraphs 4 and 6 of this Plan, Options granted under this Plan may be exercised during the Option Exercise Period with respect to the following indicated percentage of the total number of shares of Stock subject to the Option at the expiration of the following indicated periods from the date of grant of the Option: 33 1/3% of the number of Shares subject to the Option one (1) or more years after the date of grant; 66 2/3% of the number of Shares subject to the Option two (2) or more years after the date of grant; and 100% of the Shares of Stock subject to the Option three (3) or more years after the date of grant. However, if one of the events referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of Paragraph 6(c) occurs, the Option shall be exercisable during the specified period following said retirement or death only as to the number of Shares as to which it was exercisable immediately prior to said retirement or death.

(b) The purchase price of Shares upon exercise of an Option shall be paid by the Option holder in full upon exercise and may be paid (i) in cash or check, (ii) by delivery of Shares, (iii) through a cashless exercise program in conjunction with a securities brokerage firm, (iv) to the extent permitted by applicable law and provided for in the applicable Option agreement or approved by the Board, in its sole discretion, by payment of such other lawful consideration as the Board may determine, or (v) any combination of the foregoing.

(c) No Shares shall be issued or transferred upon exercise of any Option under this Plan unless and until all legal requirements applicable to the issuance or transfer of such shares and such other requirements as are consistent with the Plan have been complied with to the satisfaction of the Board, including without limitation those requirements described in Paragraph 10 hereof.

8. Stock Adjustments

(a) If the Corporation is a party to any merger or consolidation, any purchase or acquisition of property or stock, or any separation, reorganization or liquidation, the Board of Directors (or, if the Corporation is not the surviving corporation, the Board of Directors of the surviving corporation) shall have the power to make arrangements, which shall be binding upon the holders of unexpired Options, for the substitution of new options for, or the assumption by another corporation of, any unexpired options then outstanding hereunder.

(b) If by reason of recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up, combination of shares, separation (including a spin-off) or dividend on the stock payable in Shares, the outstanding Shares of the Corporation are increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Corporation, the Board of Directors shall conclusively determine the equitable adjustment in the exercise prices of outstanding Options and in the number and kind of shares as to which outstanding Options shall be exercisable.

(c) In the event of a transaction of the type described in Paragraphs (a) and (b) above, the total number of Shares on which Options may be granted under this Plan shall be equitably adjusted by the Board of Directors.

9. No Rights Other Than Those Expressly Created

Other than Non-Employee Directors, no person affiliated with the Corporation or any Subsidiary or any other person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Option hereunder. Neither this Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as (i) giving any Option holder any right to continue to be affiliated with Corporation, (ii) giving any Option holder any equity or interest of any kind in any assets of the Corporation, or (iii) creating a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship of any kind between the Corporation and any such person. No Option holder shall have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares covered by an Option until such time as the Option has been exercised and Shares have been issued to such person.

10. Miscellaneous

(a) Withholding of Taxes. Pursuant to applicable federal, state, local or foreign laws, the Corporation may be required to collect income or other taxes upon the grant of an Option to, or exercise of an Option by, a holder. The Corporation may require, as a condition to the exercise of an Option, that the recipient pay the Corporation, at such time as the Board determines, the amount of any taxes which the Board may determine is required to be withheld.

(b) Securities Law Compliance. Upon exercise of an Option, the holder shall be required to make such representation and furnish such information as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation, be appropriate to permit the Corporation to issue or transfer the Shares in compliance with the provisions of applicable federal or state securities laws. The Corporation, in its discretion, may postpone the issuance and

delivery of Shares upon any exercise of an Option until completion of such registration or other qualification of such Shares under any federal or state laws, or stock exchange listing, as the Corporation may consider appropriate. The Corporation is not obligated to register or qualify the Shares under federal or state securities laws and may refuse to issue such Shares if neither registration nor exemption therefrom is practical. The Board may require that prior to the issuance or transfer of any Shares upon exercise of an Option, the recipient enter into a written agreement to comply with any restriction on subsequent disposition that the Board or the Corporation deems necessary or advisable under any applicable federal and state securities laws. Certificates representing the Shares issued hereunder may be legended to reflect such restrictions.

(c) Indemnity. The Board of Directors shall not be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in good faith in connection with their responsibilities with respect to the Plan, and the Corporation hereby agrees to indemnify the members of the Board of Directors, in respect of any claim, loss, damage, or expense (including counsel fees) arising from any such act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination to the fullest extent permitted by law.

12. Effective Date; Amendment; Termination

(a) The “Effective Date” of this Plan was January 24, 1997. The effective date of the Plan, as amended on December 8, 2003, shall be the date on which the amendments hereto are approved by stockholders of the Corporation holding at least a majority of the voting stock of the Corporation.

(b) The date of grant of any Option granted hereunder shall be as set forth in Paragraph 5 of this Plan.

(c) Except as otherwise provided below, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may at any time, and from time to time, amend, suspend or terminate this Plan in whole or in part. However, except as provided herein, no amendment, suspension or termination of this Plan may affect the rights of any person to whom an Option has been granted without such person’s consent. Paragraphs 5, 6(a), and 6(b) of this Plan may not be amended more than once every six (6) months, other than to comply with changes in the Internal Revenue Code.

(d) This Plan shall terminate twenty (20) years from the Effective Date, and no Option shall be granted under this Plan thereafter, but such termination shall not affect the validity of Options granted prior to the date of termination.

3. Business Combinations

Pathfinder Therapeutics, Inc., or Pathfinder

On October 28, 2014, we acquired certain assets and assumed liabilities related to the surgical planning and guidance business of Pathfinder for $1.6 million paid in cash at the acquisition date. The acquisition has been accounted for as an acquisition of a business.

The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation based on preliminary estimates of the fair values of the separately identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. We continue to obtain information to complete our valuation of these accounts and the associated tax accounting:

(in millions)
Inventory and receivables				$	0.2
Goodwill					0.4
Intangible assets:
Developed technology (estimated useful life of 10 years)	$	0.7
Customer relationships (estimated useful life of 2 years)		0.3
Trade names (estimated useful life of 5 years)		0.1
Total intangible assets					1.1
Total assets acquired					1.7
Accrued liabilities		(0.1	)
Total liabilities assumed					(0.1	)
Total purchase price				$	1.6

We estimated the fair value of identifiable acquisition-related intangible assets primarily based on discounted cash flows projections that will arise from these assets. We use significant judgment with regard to assumptions used in the determination of fair value such as discount rates and the determination of the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets.

The total weighted average amortization period for the intangible assets is approximately 7.6 years. Goodwill associated with the acquisition was primarily attributable to the opportunities from the addition of Pathfinder’s product portfolio and technology which complement our suite of products. The goodwill from this acquisition will be deductible for tax purposes over the statutory 15 year period.

During the six months ended January 31, 2015, we incurred acquisition costs of approximately $0.1 million which consisted primarily of legal and due diligence expenses that are included in our general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The pro forma financial information for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, including revenue and net income, is immaterial, and has not been separately presented.

PocketSonics, Inc., or PocketSonics

In April 2010, we entered into an agreement with PocketSonics, Inc., or PocketSonics, a privately held ultrasound technology company based in Charlottesville, Virginia, which granted us an exclusive license to certain ultrasound technology owned or controlled by PocketSonics and a ten percent (10%) equity interest in PocketSonics. The equity investment was recorded as in-process research and development, or IPR&D, of $1.9 million. Since that time, we have collaborated with PocketSonics to develop patented ultrasound technology to enable the acceleration of high acuity guided procedures to lower cost point-of-care settings and other technical applications. On September 20, 2013, we acquired all of the remaining stock of PocketSonics. The purchase price includes base consideration of $11.1 million paid in cash at closing, fair value of contingent consideration of $1.9 million, and revaluation of our initial equity investment. We undertook this acquisition to further strengthen our competitive position in procedure guidance for point-of-care and other advanced guidance applications. The acquisition was funded from our existing cash on hand and has been accounted for as an acquisition of a business.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the separately identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of September 20, 2013:

(in millions)
Cash				$	0.5
Goodwill					6.9
IPR&D					11.5
Total assets acquired					18.9
Accounts payable and accrued expenses	$	(0.3	)
Deferred taxes		(4.1	)
Total liabilities assumed					(4.4	)
Total purchase price				$	14.5

In determining the fair value, we considered, among other factors, market participants’ intentions to use the acquired assets and the historical and estimated future demand for PocketSonics products and services. We recognized an IPR&D asset of $11.5 million. The fair value of the asset was determined by a probability adjusted cash flow analysis. In May 2014, we determined that the IPR&D was completed and reclassified as developed technology that is being amortized over its estimated useful life of 10 years.

In connection with this acquisition, we recorded a fair value contingent consideration obligation of $1.9 million, with potential exposure of up to $3.0 million payable upon the achievement of certain milestones relating to the PocketSonics technology. The contingent earn out payments to the sellers of PocketSonics would be payable upon commercial launch and achievement of volume sales target as defined in the asset purchase agreement. The $1.9 million fair value was estimated through a valuation model that incorporates probability adjusted assumptions relating to the achievement of these milestones and the likelihood of us making payments. This fair value measurement is based upon significant inputs not observable in the market and therefore represents a Level 3 input measurement. Subsequent changes in the fair value of this obligation will be recognized as adjustments to the contingent consideration liability and reflected within our Consolidated Statements of Operations within selling and marketing expenses. For additional information related to the fair value of this obligation, please refer to Note 7. Fair Value Measurements.

We also recorded a goodwill asset of $6.9 million, representing the value of the opportunity of further strengthening our competitive position in procedure guidance for point-of-care and other advanced guidance applications. The goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes.

We recognized a loss of $0.5 million related to our 10% pre-acquisition equity interest, which is reflected as a component of other expense, net within our Consolidated Statements of Operations during the six months ended January 31, 2014.

During the six months ended January 31, 2014, we incurred acquisition costs of approximately $0.1 million which consisted primarily of legal and due diligence expenses that are included in our general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Fair Value of Option Grant Assumptions

The fair value of each option granted during the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014 was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions:

	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
	January 31,					January 31,
	2015			2014		2015			2014
Expected option term in years (1)		5.31			n/a		5.31			5.37
Expected volatility (2)		28.2	%		n/a		29.3	%		38.6	%
Risk-free interest rate (3)		1.65	%		n/a		1.82	%		1.77	%
Expected annual dividend yield (4)		0.54	%		n/a		0.56	%		0.52	%
Weighted average grant date fair value	$	19.89			n/a	$	19.95		$	27.54

(1) The expected option term was estimated using historical data.

(2) The expected volatility for each grant is determined based on the review of the average of historical daily price changes of our common stock over the expected option term.

(3) The risk free interest rate for periods equal to the expected term of the stock option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

(4) The expected annual dividend yield is calculated by dividing the expected annual dividends by the stock price on the date of grant.

Fair Value of Awards Grant Assumptions

The fair value of our non-GAAP EPS performance-based awards was estimated using the quoted closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of our TSR performance-based awards at the date of grant was estimated using the Monte-Carlo simulation model with the following assumptions:

	Three Months  Ended January 31,					Six Months Ended January  31,
	2015			2014		2015			2014
Stock price (1)	$	73.91			n/a	$	71.34		$	77.08
Expected volatility (2)		28.4	%		n/a		29.4	%		27.6	%
Risk-free interest rate (3)		0.83	%		n/a		1.00	%		0.82	%
Expected annual dividend yield (4)		0.00	%		n/a		0.00	%		0.00	%
Weighted average grant date fair value of performance based restricted stock awards	$	82.49			n/a	$	78.42		$	93.76

(1) The stock price is the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.

(2) The expected volatility for each grant is determined based on the historical volatility for the peer group companies and our common stock over a period equal to the remaining term of the performance period from the date of grant for all awards.

(3) The risk free interest rate for periods equal to the performance period is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

(4) Dividends are considered reinvested when calculating TSR. The dividend yield is therefore considered to be 0%.

Recently adopted

Foreign currency matters

In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued an update which amends guidance on foreign currency matters and consolidations to address diversity in practice related to the release of cumulative translation adjustments, or CTA, into earnings upon the occurrence of certain de-recognition events. The update reflects a compromise between the CTA release guidance included within foreign currency matters and the loss of control concepts included within consolidation guidance. It precludes the release of CTA for de-recognition events that occur within a foreign entity, unless such events represent a complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. De-recognition events related to investments in a foreign entity result in the release of all CTA related to the derecognized foreign entity, even when a non-controlling financial interest is retained. The update also amends guidance on business combinations and for transactions that result in a company obtaining control of a business in a step acquisition by increasing an investment in a foreign entity from one accounted for under the equity method to one accounted for as a consolidated investment. This update should be applied prospectively and prior periods should not be adjusted. The update is effective for us beginning on August 1, 2014. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Not yet effective

Revenue from contracts with customers

In May 2014, the FASB issued an update which provides guidance for revenue recognition. This update affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. This update will supersede existing revenue recognition requirement and most industry-specific guidance. This update also supersedes some cost guidance, including revenue recognition guidance for construction-type and production-type contracts. The update’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. This update should be applied either on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. This update will be effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending July 31, 2018. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this update on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Guarantees, Commitments and Contingencies

Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations

Our standard OEM and supply agreements entered in the ordinary course of business typically contain an indemnification provision pursuant to which we indemnify, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party in connection with any U.S. patent or any copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to our products. Such provisions generally survive termination or expiration of the agreements. The potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is, in some instances, unlimited. Our costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements have been insignificant to date. As a result, we believe that our estimated exposure on these agreements is currently minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of January 31, 2015.

Generally, we warrant that our products will perform in all material respects in accordance with our standard published specifications in effect at the time of delivery of the products to the customer for a period ranging from 12 to 60 months from the date of delivery. We provide for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims, claim history, and engineering estimates, where applicable.

The following table presents our product warranty liability as of January 31, 2015:

(in millions)	As of January 31, 2015
Product warranty liability, as of July 31, 2014	$	6.0
Provision		2.8
Settlements made in cash or in kind during the period		(2.1	)
Product warranty liability, as of January 31, 2015	$	6.7

At January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014, we had deferred revenue for extended product warranty contracts of $5.9 million and $7.4 million, respectively.

Revolving Credit Agreements

On October 11, 2011, we entered into a five-year, revolving credit agreement, or Credit Agreement, with the financial institutions identified therein as lenders, which included Santander Bank, TD Bank, N.A., and HSBC Bank USA, National Association. The Credit Agreement provides $100.0 million in available credit and expires on October 10, 2016, when all outstanding borrowings will be payable in full. The credit facility does not require amortization of principal and may be reduced before maturity in whole or in part at our option without penalty.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes, including permitted acquisitions. The amount of available credit can be increased under specified circumstances up to $150.0 million in aggregate. We are the sole borrower under the Credit Agreement. The obligations under the new credit facility are guaranteed by our material domestic subsidiaries and are supported by a pledge of 65% of the capital stock and equity equivalents of our principal international subsidiary.

Interest rates on borrowings outstanding under the credit facility would range from 1.25% to 2.00% above the LIBOR rate, or, at our option would range from 0.00% to 1.00% above the defined base rate, in each case based upon our leverage ratio. A quarterly commitment fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.35% per annum is applicable on the undrawn portion of the credit facility, based upon our leverage ratio.

The Credit Agreement limits us and our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; incur liens or guarantee obligations; pay dividends or make other distributions; make investments; dispose of assets; and engage in transactions with affiliates except on an arms-length basis. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires us to maintain the following financial ratios:

• A leverage ratio, defined as consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated trailing four quarters earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, of no greater than 2.75:1.00 at any time; and

• An interest coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of consolidated trailing four quarters EBITDA to consolidated interest charges of no less than 3.00:1.00 at any time.

As of January 31, 2015 our leverage ratio was .004 and our interest coverage ratio was not applicable as we had no attributable interest expense. As of January 31, 2015, we were in full compliance with all financial and operating covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.

Any failure to comply with the financial or operating covenants of the credit facility would prevent us from being able to borrow and would also constitute a default, permitting the lenders to, among other things, accelerate repayment of outstanding borrowings, including all accrued interest and fees, and to terminate the credit facility. A change in control, as defined in the Credit Agreement, would also constitute an event of default, permitting the lenders to accelerate repayment and terminate the Credit Agreement.

In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, we incurred approximately $0.5 million of transactions costs, which are being expensed over the five-year life of the credit facility.

As of January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014, we had approximately $1.4 million and $4.4 million, respectively, in other revolving credit facilities with banks available for direct borrowings. We did not have any borrowing outstanding under credit facilities at January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014.

Legal Claims

We are subject to litigation, claims, investigations and audits arising from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Although legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable, we believe that we have valid defenses with respect to those matters currently pending against us and intend to defend ourselves vigorously. The outcome of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material impact on our cash flows, results of operations, or financial position. In addition to litigation claims, investigations, and audits arising in the normal course of business, we are also subject to an investigation regarding our Danish subsidiary. Please refer to the following disclosure for more details regarding the investigation of our Danish subsidiary. We record losses when estimable and probable in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Investigation Regarding our Danish Subsidiary

As initially disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011, we identified certain transactions involving our Danish subsidiary BK Medical ApS, or BK Medical, and certain of its foreign distributors, with respect to which we have raised questions concerning compliance with law, including Danish law and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and our business policies. These have included transactions in which the distributors paid BK Medical amounts in excess of amounts owed and BK Medical transferred the excess amounts, at the direction of the distributors, to third parties identified by the distributors. We have terminated the employment of certain BK Medical employees and also terminated our relationships with the BK Medical distributors that were involved in the transactions. We have concluded that the transactions identified to date have been properly accounted for in our reported financial statements in all material respects. However, we have been unable to ascertain with certainty the ultimate beneficiaries or the purpose of these transfers. We have voluntarily disclosed this matter to the Danish Government, the U.S. Department of Justice, or DOJ, and the SEC, and are cooperating with inquiries by the Danish Government, the DOJ and the SEC. We believe that the SEC and DOJ have substantially completed their investigation into the transactions at issue and that it is reasonably likely that one or both of these entities may seek to impose sanctions and/or penalties on us in connection with a resolution of their inquiries. We are unable to estimate the potential penalties and/or sanctions that may ultimately be assessed. During the three and six months ended January 31, 2015, we incurred inquiry-related costs of approximately $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in connection with this matter. During the three and six months ended January 31, 2014, we incurred inquiry-related costs of approximately $0.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in connection with this matter.

1. Business:

Company

Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context states otherwise, the words “we,” “us,” “our” and “Analogic” refer to Analogic Corporation and all of its subsidiaries taken as a whole, and “our board of directors” refers to the board of directors of Analogic Corporation.

Basis of Presentation

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or 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 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, 2014, or fiscal year 2014, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on September 26, 2014. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, in the United States of America.

Consolidation

The unaudited 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 percent and for which we exercise significant influence over the investee’s operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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.

Stock options

We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the exercise price of the award, the expected option term, the expected volatility of our stock over the option’s expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the option’s expected term, and our expected annual dividend yield. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by persons who receive equity awards.

We granted 3,101 and 78,846 stock options during the three and six months ended January 31, 2015, respectively. The fair value of each option granted during the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014 was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions:

	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
	January 31,					January 31,
	2015			2014		2015			2014
Expected option term in years (1)		5.31			n/a		5.31			5.37
Expected volatility (2)		28.2	%		n/a		29.3	%		38.6	%
Risk-free interest rate (3)		1.65	%		n/a		1.82	%		1.77	%
Expected annual dividend yield (4)		0.54	%		n/a		0.56	%		0.52	%
Weighted average grant date fair value	$	19.89			n/a	$	19.95		$	27.54

(1) The expected option term was estimated using historical data.

(2) The expected volatility for each grant is determined based on the review of the average of historical daily price changes of our common stock over the expected option term.

(3) The risk free interest rate for periods equal to the expected term of the stock option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

(4) The expected annual dividend yield is calculated by dividing the expected annual dividends by the stock price on the date of grant.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 was $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

As of January 31, 2015, 384,002 stock options were vested or expected to vest and 212,837 stock options were exercisable. These options have a weighted average exercise price of $65.63 and $59.47, respectively, aggregate intrinsic value of $6.1 million and $4.7 million, respectively, and a weighted average remaining contractual term of 4.97 years and 4.14 years, respectively.

Restricted stock and restricted stock units

We granted 1,184 and 28,249 relative total shareholder return, or TSR, and 1,526 and 36,376 non-GAAP earnings per share, or EPS, performance-based awards during the three and six months ended January 31, 2015, respectively. The fair value of our non-GAAP EPS performance-based awards was estimated using the quoted closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of our TSR performance-based awards at the date of grant was estimated using the Monte-Carlo simulation model with the following assumptions:

	Three Months  Ended January 31,					Six Months Ended January  31,
	2015			2014		2015			2014
Stock price (1)	$	73.91			n/a	$	71.34		$	77.08
Expected volatility (2)		28.4	%		n/a		29.4	%		27.6	%
Risk-free interest rate (3)		0.83	%		n/a		1.00	%		0.82	%
Expected annual dividend yield (4)		0.00	%		n/a		0.00	%		0.00	%
Weighted average grant date fair value of performance based restricted stock awards	$	82.49			n/a	$	78.42		$	93.76

(1) The stock price is the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.

(2) The expected volatility for each grant is determined based on the historical volatility for the peer group companies and our common stock over a period equal to the remaining term of the performance period from the date of grant for all awards.

(3) The risk free interest rate for periods equal to the performance period is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

(4) Dividends are considered reinvested when calculating TSR. The dividend yield is therefore considered to be 0%.

The total fair value of restricted stock units, or RSU’s, that vested during the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 was $0.2 million and $5.4 million, respectively.

As of January 31, 2015, the unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested stock options and restricted stock was $13.5 million. This cost will be recognized over an estimated weighted average amortization period of 1.7 years and assumes target performance for the non-GAAP EPS performance-based RSU’s.

12. Restructuring Charges

Fiscal Year 2014 Restructuring Plan

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, we implemented our fiscal year 2014 restructuring plan to improve our operational effectiveness in Peabody, Massachusetts and leverage core competencies better across the business. We incurred pre-tax charges of $2.7 million from the time that we implemented the plan during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014 through January 31, 2015, primarily relating to severance and personnel related costs for involuntarily terminated employees. We expect that the restructuring plan will be completed during fiscal year 2015. During the six months ended January 31, 2015, we recorded a reduction of $0.1 million in our restructuring costs.

Fiscal Year 2013 Restructuring Plan

In May 2013, we announced our fiscal year ended July 31, 2013, or fiscal year 2013, restructuring plan and incurred pre-tax charges of $4.0 million through January 31, 2015, primarily relating to severance and personnel related costs of 115 terminated employees, facility exit costs for the closure of the Ultrasonix sales subsidiary in Paris, France, and the closure of our ultrasound transducer operation in Englewood, Colorado as we consolidate our transducer operations in State College, Pennsylvania. This plan also includes activities to consolidate manufacturing and certain support functions currently conducted in our Ultrasonix facility in Vancouver, Canada with our other facilities, as well as optimization of our operations in Montreal, Canada and Peabody, Massachusetts. During the six months ended January 31, 2015, we incurred $(0.1) million related to the Englewood, Colorado facility. We expect that the restructuring plan will be completed in fiscal year 2017 when the lease on the Englewood, Colorado facility ends.

6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Analogic has goodwill balances of $57.4 million and $57.0 million at January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014, respectively. The difference between the two periods relates to goodwill associated with the acquisition of Pathfinder of $0.4 million. The business acquired from Pathfinder is included under our Security and Detection segment. Please refer to Note 3. Business Combinations for more information on the acquisition of Pathfinder.

Other intangible assets

Intangible assets include the value assigned to intellectual property and other technology, patents, customer contracts and relationships, and trade names. The estimated useful lives for all of these intangible assets, excluding a trade name determined to have an indefinite life, range between 1 to 14 years.

Other intangible assets are summarized as follows:

				As of January 31, 2015						As of July 31, 2014
(in millions)	Weighted Average Amortization Period			Cost		Accumulated Amortization		Net		Cost		Accumulated Amortization		Net

* - $7.6 Million of Trade names are non-amortizable as of January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014.

Amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets was $2.2 million and $4.4 million for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015, respectively. Amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets was $1.9 million and $3.8 million for the three and six months ended January 31, 2014, respectively.

The estimated future amortization expense related to intangible assets for each of the five succeeding fiscal years is expected to be as follows:

2015 (remaining six months)	$	4.5
2016		8.0
2017		7.2
2018		6.2
2019		5.0
Thereafter		15.5
	$	46.4

We performed the annual impairment test for our goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives as of December 31, 2014. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value and as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the qualitative impairment test. Alternatively, we may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed to the two-step quantitative impairment test. Our quantitative impairment assessment considered both the market approach and income approach to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit, with different probabilities assigned to each. Under the market approach, the fair value of the reporting unit is based on trading multiples and a control premium, which was determined based on an analysis of control premiums for recent relevant acquisitions. Under the income approach, the fair value of the reporting unit is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. The income approach is dependent on a number of significant management assumptions including estimates of future sales, future gross margin percentage, and discount rates. We determined that the fair values of our reporting units were in excess of their carrying values, and concluded that there was no impairment.

We compared the fair value of a tradename that has an indefinite life using the relief from royalty approach to its carrying value as of December 31, 2014. The relief from royalty approach utilized an after-tax royalty rate and a discount rate. The after-tax royalty rate was determined based on royalty research and margin analysis while the discount rate was determined after consideration of market rates of return on debt and equity capital, the weighted average return on invested capital and the risk associated with achieving forecasted sales for the tradename. We determined that the fair value of the tradename was in excess of its carrying value.

Net Income Per Common Share

13. Net Income Per Common Share

Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and, if dilutive, the weighted average number of potential shares of common stock, including unvested restricted stock and the assumed exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method.

Basic and diluted net income per share are calculated as follows:

Fair Value Measurements

7. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in a principal or the most advantageous market for the asset transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. We use a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value:

• Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The following table provides the assets and liabilities carried at fair value and measured on a recurring basis at January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014:

	Fair Value Measurements at January 31, 2015
(in millions)	Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Total liabilities at fair value	$	2.1	$	-	$	-	$	2.1

Assets held in the deferred compensation plan will be used to pay benefits under our non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The investments primarily consist of mutual funds which are publicly traded on stock exchanges. Accordingly, the fair value of these assets are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of the liabilities arising from our foreign currency forward contracts is determined by valuation models based on market observable inputs, including forward and spot prices for currencies. Accordingly, the fair value of these liabilities are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of our contingent consideration obligation is based on significant unobservable inputs, including management estimates and assumptions, and is measured based on the probability-weighted present value of the payments expected to be made. Accordingly, the fair value of this liability is categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of the contingent payments associated with the acquisition of PocketSonics was calculated utilizing 100% probability for the earn out associated with the Section 510(k) clearance obtained from the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, on April 9, 2014 and the anticipation of commercial sales, as defined in the purchase agreement, in the fiscal year ending July 31, 2015, or fiscal year 2015. The fair value of contingent consideration payments associated with the sales volume target earnout was calculated using a discount rate of 27%. Each quarter we revalue the contingent consideration obligations associated with the acquisition of PocketSonics to its then current fair value and record changes in the fair value to the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Changes in contingent consideration result from changes in the assumptions regarding probabilities of the estimated timing of launch, volume sales target, payments and the discount rate used to estimate the fair value of the liability. The assumptions used in estimating fair value require significant judgment. The use of different assumptions and judgments could result in a materially different estimate of fair value. There was a $0.1 million decrease in the fair value of our contingent consideration obligation during the three and six months ended January 31, 2015.

Derivative Instruments

8. Derivative Instruments

Certain of our foreign operations have revenue and expenses transacted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. In order to mitigate foreign currency exchange risk, we use forward contracts to lock in exchange rates associated with a portion of our forecasted international expenses.

As of January 31, 2015, we had forward contracts outstanding denominated in Canadian dollars with notional amounts totaling $6.1 million. These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and the unrealized loss of $0.4 million, net of tax, on these contracts is reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of January 31, 2015, the fair value of derivatives designated as hedging instruments are presented in Other current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. There were no outstanding derivatives as of July 31, 2014. Realized gains and losses on the cash flow hedges are recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period when the payment of expenses is recognized. During the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, the realized loss on these cash flow hedges were immaterial. We expect all contracts currently outstanding to settle as of July 31, 2015 and any amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to be reported as an adjustment to operating expenses.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

10. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

Components of comprehensive income include net income and certain transactions that have generally been reported in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity. Other comprehensive income consists of reported foreign currency translation gains and losses (net of taxes), actuarial gains and losses on pension plan assets (net of taxes), and changes in the unrealized value on foreign currency forward contracts (net of taxes). Deferred taxes are not provided on cumulative translation adjustments where we expect earnings of a foreign subsidiary to be indefinitely reinvested. The income tax effect of currency translation adjustments related to foreign subsidiaries that are not considered indefinitely reinvested is recorded as a component of deferred taxes with an offset to other comprehensive income.

The following table summarizes components of Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income for the six months ended January 31, 2015:

(in millions)	Unrealized Losses on Foreign Currency Forward Contracts			Unrealized Losses on Pension Plan			Currency Translation Adjustment			Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income
Balance as of July 31, 2014	$	-		$	(3.6	)	$	11.4		$	7.8

Balance as of January 31, 2015	$	(0.4	)	$	(3.6	)	$	1.0		$	(3.0	)

The ineffective portion of the unrealized losses on foreign currency forward contracts and unrealized gains or losses on currency translation adjustment are included in other expense, net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Our accounts receivable arise primarily from products sold and services provided in the U.S., Europe and Asia. The balance in accounts receivable represents the amount due from our domestic and foreign original equipment manufacturers, or OEM, customers, distributors and end users. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and continuously monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain a provision for estimated credit losses based upon specific customer collection issues that have been identified. We accrue reserves against trade receivables for estimated losses that may result from a customer’s inability to pay. Amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged or written off against the reserve. To date, our historical write-offs of accounts receivable have been minimal.

Our top ten customers combined accounted for approximately 62% and 68% of our total net revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and 63% and 66% of our total net revenue for the six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Set forth in the table below are customers which individually accounted for 10% or more of our net revenue.

[1] The expected option term was estimated using historical data.

[2] The expected volatility for each grant is determined based on the review of the average of historical daily price changes of our common stock over the expected option term.

[3] The risk free interest rate for periods equal to the expected term of the stock option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

[4] The expected annual dividend yield is calculated by dividing the expected annual dividends by the stock price on the date of grant.

[5] The stock price is the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.

[6] The expected volatility for each grant is determined based on the historical volatility for the peer group companies and our common stock over a period equal to the remaining term of the performance period from the date of grant for all awards.

[7] The risk free interest rate for periods equal to the performance period is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

[8] Dividends are considered reinvested when calculating TSR. The dividend yield is therefore considered to be 0%.

Income Taxes

14. Income Taxes

The following table presents the provision for (benefit from) income taxes and our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014:

	Three Months  Ended January 31,						Six Months Ended January  31,
(in millions)	2015			2014			2015			2014
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes	$	2.3		$	(6.6	)	$	3.7		$	(8.6	)
Effective tax rate		19	%		-52	%		22	%		-124	%

The effective income tax rate on continuing operations is based upon the estimated income for the year, the composition of the income in different countries, and adjustments, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods for the potential tax consequences, benefits, resolutions of tax audits or other tax contingencies.

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 is lower than the statutory rate of 35% due primarily to income generated outside the United States in countries with lower tax rates, the U.S. manufacturing deduction, and tax credits in the U.S. and Canada. The tax provision for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 includes a discrete tax benefit totaling $0.8 million resulting from the extension by the U.S. Congress during the quarter of U.S. Federal tax credits for research and development, or R&D.

Our effective tax rate before discrete items for the three and six months ended January 31, 2014 was lower than the statutory rate of 35%, primarily due to lower foreign tax rates, and tax credits in the U.S. and Canada. The tax provision for the three and six months ended January 31, 2014 included certain discrete tax benefits totaling $10.2 million and $10.6 million, respectively. The discrete tax benefit for the three months ended January 31, 2014, consisted primarily of a reduction in a net deferred tax liability of $8.8 million associated with a change in classification of our Canadian operations, and a reduction in uncertain tax positions primarily associated with U.S. Federal tax credits for R&D, of $0.9 million following the conclusion of the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, review for the fiscal year 2009, along with $0.5 million of other items. For the six months ended January 31, 2014, the discrete tax benefit also included a reduction of our valuation allowance for Massachusetts R&D credits and federal amended return claims, partially offset by changes in statutory tax rates in the jurisdictions in which we operate.

We are subject to U.S. Federal income tax as well as the income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. As of January 31, 2015, we have concluded all U.S. Federal income tax matters through the year ended July 31, 2010. We accrue interest and, if applicable, penalties for any uncertain tax positions. This interest and penalty expense is treated as a component of income tax expense. At January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014, we had approximately $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively, accrued for interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits.

At January 31, 2015, we had $6.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions and $0.7 million of related accrued interest and penalties. We are unable to reasonably estimate the amount and period in which these liabilities might be paid.
