PEABODY, MA (December 11, 2006) – Analogic Corporation (NASDAQ: ALOG), a leading designer and manufacturer of high-precision health and security imaging equipment, announced today results for its first quarter ended October 31, 2006.

Revenues for the first quarter ended October 31, 2006, were $75,602,000, compared with the prior year’s first quarter revenues of $86,410,000, a decrease of $10,808,000, or 13%. Net loss for the first quarter was $5,360,000, or a $0.39 net loss per diluted share, compared with earnings of $1,342,000, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the prior year’s first quarter. The first quarter ended October 31, 2006, includes pre-tax asset impairment charges of $9,705,000 associated with the Company’s digital radiography systems business. The first quarter ended October 31, 2005, included restructuring and asset impairment charges of $2,205,000 related primarily to the Company’s former SKY Computers subsidiary.

CEO John Wood, said, “The overall results for the quarter are disappointing. Although our digital radiography business improved slightly, it continued to perform well below earlier expectations. We therefore conducted an in-depth review of the business and as a result of this review recorded asset impairment charges of $9,705,000 related to the writedown of certain assets to their estimated net realizable value.”

The continuing strong performance of our core OEM Medical Technology Products business is very encouraging. Medical technology product sales were $67,773,000, up $6,573,000 or 11% over the prior year’s first quarter. Revenues for clinical ultrasound systems and subsystems, CT Data Acquisition Systems (DASs), and Computed Tomography (CT) systems were up over good performances a year earlier. Sales of Power Systems for Magnetic Resonance Imaging were down slightly from a year earlier.

The decrease in overall revenue was due primarily to the expected significant short-term decrease in sales of the Company’s EXACT™ security imaging systems. Security technology product revenues were $4,639,000, down $15,227,000 or 77% from the previous year due to the Company shipping only 4 EXACT systems this quarter compared to 35 a year earlier. On September 26, 2006, the Company announced that it had received from L-3 Communications an order for $31 million – $36 million in EXACT systems through January 2008. EXACT sales therefore are expected to resume a more consistent schedule for the second half of this fiscal year and the first half of the next. The Company expects to begin shipping the AN6400 upgrade to the EXACT system later this year, and to put the COBRA checkpoint security system into production.

Ed Becker, President and Chief Operating Officer, noted that research and development costs were down $1,449,000, or 11%, from the prior year’s first quarter, due primarily to the winding down of two medical CT development programs and of a successful security imaging project. Becker also noted that, “PhotoDetection Systems, in which we have a substantial minority position, concluded a contract with a major OEM in our recent fourth quarter that includes development funding. As a result of this external funding, the Company’s equity losses related to its investment in PhotoDetection Systems have been, and in the future will be, significantly reduced.

Wood added, “Overall, our core medical OEM business is doing very well. Our security business is in the midst of several weak quarters, but the future looks promising. Early in the second quarter we placed prototypes of two of our newest checked luggage scanning systems, the XLB1100 designed for large airports and the KING COBRA designed primarily for small to mid-sized airports, into Logan International Airport in Boston for initial data gathering. In January we will begin shipping five COBRA prototypes to the TSA and several airports to begin visual screening in the field.

“As indicated last quarter, the Company is continuing to evaluate its business structure, focusing our resources on those opportunities with the greatest potential for sustainable growth and profitability. We believe that only in this way can we establish the foundation for long-term growth as The World Resource for Health and Security Technology.”
