NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 27, 2014

(Unaudited)

1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

GSI Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”) design, develop, manufacture and sell precision photonic and motion control components and subsystems to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM’s) in the medical equipment and advanced industrial technology markets. Our highly engineered enabling technologies include laser sources, laser scanning and beam delivery products, medical visualization and informatics solutions, optical data collection and machine vision technologies and precision motion control products. We specialize in collaborating with OEM customers to adapt our component and subsystem technologies to deliver highly differentiated performance in their applications.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in U.S. dollars and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the instructions to Form 10-Q and the provisions of Regulation S-X pertaining to interim financial statements. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The interim consolidated financial statements and notes included in this report should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. In the opinion of management, these interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments and accruals of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or for any future periods.

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 50% owned joint venture, Excel Laser Technology Private Limited (“Excel SouthAsia JV”), which is reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company’s ownership percentage in a privately held company located in the United Kingdom, Laser Quantum Ltd. (“Laser Quantum”), increased from approximately 25% to 41% as a result of a share buy-back program by Laser Quantum. The Company continues to record the results of this entity under the equity method as it does not have a controlling interest in the entity.

The Company’s unaudited interim financial statements are prepared on a quarterly basis ending on the Friday closest to the end of the calendar quarter, with the exception of the fourth quarter which always ends on December 31.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company evaluates its estimates based on historical experience, current conditions and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period in which they are deemed to be necessary. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU 2014-08 provides guidance on determining when disposals can be presented as discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 requires that only disposals representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results should be presented as discontinued operations. A strategic shift may include a disposal of a major line of business, major equity method investment or a major part of an entity. Additionally, ASU 2014-08 requires expanded disclosures regarding discontinued operations. This standard is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt this pronouncement in January 2015. The adoption of this amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. Upon adoption, an entity may apply the new guidance either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized in beginning retained earnings at the date of the initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on the Company’s financial statements.

Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, “Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity.” ASU 2013-05 provides clarification regarding whether ASC 810-10, “Consolidation – Overall” or ASC 830-30, “Foreign Currency Matters—Translation of Financial Statements,” applies to the release of cumulative translation adjustments into net income when a reporting entity either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that constitute a business within a foreign entity. The revised standard is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2014. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefits

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” Unless certain conditions exists, ASU 2013-11 requires, an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, or a tax credit carryforward. ASU 2013-11 is effective prospectively for the Company beginning January 1, 2014. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2. Discontinued Operations

On July 15, 2014, we completed the sale of certain assets and liabilities of our Scientific Lasers business operating under the Continuum brand name for approximately $7.0 million in cash, subject to working capital adjustments. The Company began accounting for the Scientific Lasers business, which was previously included in our Laser Products segment, as discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2014. All prior period income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow information presented has been revised to reflect the results of the Scientific Lasers business as discontinued operations.

In 2013, the Company consummated the sale of certain assets and liabilities of the Semiconductor Systems business to Electro Scientific Industries, Inc. for $8.6 million in cash, net of selling costs.

The major components of the assets and liabilities of discontinued operations as of June 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, are as follows (in thousands):


	June 27, 2014		December 31, 2013
Accounts receivable, net	$	4,242	$	5,361
Inventories		8,310		8,454

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

AS OF JUNE 27, 2014

(Unaudited)

The following table presents the operating results which are reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 27, 2014			June 28, 2013			June 27, 2014			June 28, 2013
Sales from discontinued operations	$	6,271		$	7,541		$	10,287		$	22,671
Loss from discontinued operations, before income tax	$	(2,136	)	$	(2,883	)	$	(4,987	)	$	(2,679	)
Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax	$	(2,678	)	$	(1,827	)	$	(4,544	)	$	(1,458	)

The loss from discontinued operations during the three and six months ended June 27, 2014 includes a $1.4 million and $3.0 million fair value write-down of the Scientific Lasers business to its estimated fair value less costs to sell.

3. Business Combinations

On March 14, 2014, we completed the acquisition of JADAK LLC, JADAK Technologies, Inc. and Advanced Data Capture Corporation (together, “JADAK”), a North Syracuse, New York-based provider of optical data collection and machine vision technologies to OEM medical device manufacturers, for $93.7 million in cash, net of final working capital adjustments. The Company expects the addition of JADAK will enable the Company to offer a broader range of highly engineered enabling technologies to leading medical equipment manufacturers. Acquisition-related costs are included in restructuring and acquisition related costs in the consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition related costs are as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended		Cumulative Costs
	June 27, 2014		June 27, 2014		June 27, 2014
Acquisition-related costs	$	18	$	668	$	975

The acquisition of JADAK has been accounted for as a business combination. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and is based upon a valuation of assets and liabilities acquired. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair values of intangible assets were based on valuations using an income approach, with estimates and assumptions provided by management of JADAK and the Company. The excess of the purchase price over the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill. The Company’s estimates and assumptions in determining the estimated fair values of certain assets and liabilities are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) for changes in facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and the primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to inventory valuation, intangible assets, income taxes, and the amount of residual goodwill.

Based upon a preliminary valuation, the total purchase price was allocated as follows (in thousands):


	Purchase Price Allocation

Cash	$	1,140
Accounts receivable		7,907
Inventory		7,526
Property and equipment		904
Intangible assets		40,250
Other assets		1,979
Goodwill		44,428

Total assets acquired		104,134

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company made adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation related to the finalization of working capital and adjustments to certain tangible and intangible assets, resulting in an increase to goodwill of $0.4 million. The fair value of intangible assets is comprised of the following dollar amounts (in thousands):


	Estimated Fair Value		Weighted Average Amortization Period
Customer relationships	$	23,570		20 years
Developed technology		10,910		10 years
Trademarks and trade names		2,130		10 years
Backlog		1,810		1 year
Non-compete covenant		1,830		5 years

Total	$	40,250

The purchase price allocation resulted in $44.4 million of goodwill and $40.3 million of identifiable intangible assets, $63.7 million of which are expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Intangible assets are being amortized over their weighted average useful lives primarily based upon the pattern in which anticipated economic benefits from such assets are expected to be realized. The goodwill recorded represents the anticipated incremental value of future cash flow potential attributable to: (i) JADAK’s ability to develop and market new products and technologies, (ii) JADAK’s ability to develop relationships with new customers, and (iii) expected sales synergies from cross-selling current and future product offerings of both JADAK and the Company to OEM customers.

The operating results of JADAK have been included in our consolidated statement of operations since the acquisition date. JADAK has contributed sales of $15.5 million and $17.7 million for the three and six months ended June 27, 2014, respectively, and income from continuing operations before income taxes of $1.2 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 27, 2014, respectively. The pro forma information for all periods presented below includes the effects of business combination accounting resulting from the acquisition of JADAK, including amortization charges from acquired intangible assets, interest expense on borrowings in connection with the acquisition, earn-out expenses, and the related tax effects as though the acquisition had been consummated at the beginning of 2013. These pro forma results exclude the impact of transaction costs and the related tax effects included in the historical results. The pro forma financial information is presented for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of 2013.

5. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For diluted earnings per common share, the denominator also includes the dilutive effect of outstanding restricted stock units determined using the treasury stock method. For periods in which net losses are generated, the dilutive potential common shares are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Dilutive effects of contingently issuable shares are included in the weighted average dilutive share calculation when the contingencies have been resolved.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Common Stock Repurchases

In October 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase plan under which the Company may repurchase outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock up to an aggregate amount of $10.0 million. The shares may be repurchased from time to time, at the Company’s discretion, based on ongoing assessment of the capital needs of the business, the market price of the Company’s common stock, and general market conditions. Shares may also be repurchased through an accelerated stock purchase agreement, on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. Repurchases may be made under certain SEC regulations, which would permit common stock to be purchased when the Company would otherwise be prohibited from doing so under insider trading laws. The share repurchase plan does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock. No time limit was set for the completion of the share repurchase program, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of December 31, 2013, the Company cumulatively repurchased 50 thousand shares of its common stock in the open market for a weighted average share price of $10.49 per share. There were no share repurchases during the six months ended June 27, 2014.

6. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” establishes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the third is considered unobservable:

•

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets which the Company can access.

•

Level 2: Observable inputs other than those described in Level 1.

•

Level 3: Unobservable inputs.

The Company’s cash equivalents are investments in money market accounts, which represent the only asset the Company measures at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company determines the fair value of our cash equivalents using a market approach based on quoted prices in active markets. The fair values of cash, accounts receivable, income taxes receivable, accounts payable, income taxes payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their carrying values because of their short-term nature.

The following table summarizes the fair values of our financial assets as of June 27, 2014 (in thousands):

7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill is recorded when the consideration for a business combination exceeds the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. The Company tests its goodwill balances annually for impairment as of the beginning of the second quarter or more frequently if indicators are present or changes in circumstances suggest that impairment may exist. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test at the beginning of the second quarter of 2014 and noted no impairment of goodwill.

The following table summarizes changes in goodwill for the six months ended June 27, 2014 (in thousands):

Restructuring and acquisition related costs		258		—		304		—

Total share-based compensation expense	$	1,253	$	1,310	$	2,738	$	2,841

The expense recorded during each of the six months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013 includes $0.5 million related to deferred stock units granted to the members of the Company’s Board of Directors, pursuant to the Company’s 2010 Incentive Award Plan. The expense associated with the respective deferred stock units was recognized in full on the respective date of grant, as the deferred stock units were fully vested and non-forfeitable on the date of grant.

As noted in Note 3, on March 14, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of JADAK. In addition to the total purchase price, the Company granted restricted stock units in an aggregate of 180,000 shares to the four former owner-managers of JADAK as employment inducement awards. These restricted stock units are performance based awards and will vest after two years if certain financial targets have been achieved.

On May 15, 2014, the Company’s shareholders approved the amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2010 Incentive Award Plan. The Amended and Restated Incentive Award Plan increases the amount of shares authorized for issuance under the plan from 2,898,613 shares to 4,398,613 shares, extends the term of the plan through April 9, 2024, allows the Company to continue to grant awards intended to constitute “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and includes certain provisions that reflect good corporate governance practices.

11. Income Taxes

The Company determines its estimated annual effective tax rate at the end of each successive interim period based on facts known at that time. The estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to the year-to-date pre-tax income at the end of each interim period. The tax effect of significant unusual items is reflected in the period in which they occur. Since the Company is incorporated in Canada, it is required to use Canada’s statutory tax rate of 27.0% in the determination of the estimated annual effective tax rate.

The Company’s reported effective tax rate on income from continuing operations of 37.7% for the three months and 32.3% for the six months ended June 27, 2014 differ from the expected Canadian statutory rate of 27.0% primarily due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with varying tax rates and losses in jurisdictions with a valuation allowance which are not benefitted in the

income tax provision in the current period. The Company’s reported effective tax rate on income from continuing operations of 70.1% for the three months and 53.0% for the six months ended June 28, 2013 differ from the Canadian statutory rate primarily due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with varying tax rates and losses in jurisdictions with a valuation allowance which are not benefited in the income tax provision and the impact of discrete items increasing the tax provision for the period.

The Company maintains a valuation allowance on some of its deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions. A valuation allowance is required when, based upon an assessment of various factors, including recent operating loss history, anticipated future earnings, and prudent and reasonable tax planning strategies, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

In conjunction with the Company’s ongoing review of its actual results and anticipated future earnings, the Company continuously reassesses the possibility of releasing the remaining valuation allowance currently in place on its deferred tax assets. A release would be reported as a reduction to income tax expense without any impact on cash flows in the quarter in which it is released.

On September 13, 2013, the IRS released final tangible property regulations under Sections 162(a) and 263(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), regarding the deduction and capitalization of expenditures related to tangible property. In addition, the IRS proposed regulations under Section 168 of the Code regarding dispositions of tangible property. These final and proposed regulations will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2014. The Company is in the process of reviewing the regulations and the related impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Total acquisition related charges include expenses recognized under earn-out agreements and professional fees in connection with the acquisition of JADAK.

2011 Restructuring

In November 2011, the Company announced a strategic initiative (“2011 restructuring”), which aimed to consolidate operations to reduce our cost structure and improve operational efficiency. As part of this initiative, the Company eliminated facilities through consolidation of certain manufacturing, sales and distribution facilities and exit of Semiconductor and Laser Systems businesses. The Company substantially completed the 2011 restructuring program by the end of 2013.

The Company does not believe that the outcome of these claims will have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition or results of operations but there can be no assurance that any such claims, or any similar claims, would not have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition or results of operations.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

In the normal course of its operations, the Company executes agreements that provide for indemnification and guarantees to counterparties in transactions such as business dispositions, sale of assets, sale of products and operating leases. Additionally, the by-laws of the Company require it to indemnify certain current or former directors, officers, and employees of the Company against expenses incurred by them in connection with each proceeding in which he or she is involved as a result of serving or having served in certain capacities. Indemnification is not available with respect to a proceeding as to which it has been adjudicated that the person did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that the action was in the best interests of the Company. Certain of our officers and directors are also a party to an indemnification agreement with the Company. These indemnification agreements provide, among other things, that the director and officer shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such officer or director in connection with any proceeding by reason of his or her relationship with the Company. In addition, the indemnification agreements provide for the advancement of expenses incurred by such director or officer in connection with any proceeding covered by the indemnification agreement, subject to the conditions set forth therein and to the extent such advancement is not prohibited by law. The indemnification agreements also set out the procedures for determining entitlement to indemnification, the requirements relating to notice and defense of claims for which indemnification is sought, the procedures for enforcement of indemnification rights, the limitations on and exclusions from indemnification, and the minimum levels of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance to be maintained by the Company.

Overview of Financial Results

Total sales for the three and six months ended June 27, 2014 increased 21.5% and 13.7%, respectively, compared to the prior year comparable periods. Our JADAK acquisition accounted for a 19.5% and 11.4% increase during the three and six months ended June 27, 2014, respectively. In addition, foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted our sales by 1.4% and 1.3% during the three and six months ended June 27, 2014, respectively.

Excluding the impact of the JADAK acquisition and changes in foreign exchange rates, total sales for the three and six months ended June 27, 2014 increased 0.6% and 1.0%, respectively, compared to the prior year comparable periods. Our organic sales growth is summarized as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 27, 2014 Percentage Change			Six Months Ended June 27, 2014 Percentage Change
Reported growth		21.5	%		13.7	%
Less: Change attributable to JADAK acquisition		19.5	%		11.4	%
Less: Change due to foreign currency		1.4	%		1.3	%

Organic growth		0.6	%		1.0	%

The organic growth in our sales for the three months ended June 27, 2014 was attributable to growth in our Laser Products and Precision Motion segments offset by a decline in Medical Technologies. The increase in sales of our Laser Products segment was primarily attributable to an increase in sales volume across our product portfolio as a result of new customer wins and an increase in capital spending in advanced industrial technology markets. The growth in our Precision Motion segment was driven by increases in sales volume of the optical encoders products, as a result of increases in capital

spending in new customer platforms in the advanced industrial technology markets, partially offset by a decline in sales in our air bearing spindles product line. The decrease in sales in our Medical Technologies segment was primarily driven by a decline in sales in our visualization solutions and imaging informatics product lines as we experienced lower sales volume related to dual sourcing at an OEM customer, and a delay in new product releases. Similar dynamics impacted our organic sales for the six months ended June 27, 2014 compared to the prior year comparable period.

Operating income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 27, 2014 increased $1.1 million, or 20.2%, to $6.5 million, from the prior year comparable period. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in gross profit of $5.4 million as a result of higher sales. This increase was offset by a $1.3 million increase in amortization of intangibles, a $2.0 million increase in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, and a $1.4 million increase in research and development (“R&D”) expenses. Operating income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 27, 2014 increased $3.7 million, or 53.9%, from the prior year comparable period. This increase was primarily due to an increase in gross profit and a decrease in restructuring and acquisition related costs, partially offset by an increase in amortization of intangibles and acquisition fair value adjustments as well as SG&A and R&D expenses.

Diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”) from continuing operations of $0.10 in the three months ended June 27, 2014 increased $0.07 from the prior year comparable period. This increase was primarily attributable to higher operating income from continuing operations, a lower income tax provision, and a decrease in foreign currency losses, offset by an increase in interest expense. Diluted EPS from continuing operations of $0.18 for the six months ended June 27, 2014 increased by $0.10 from the prior year comparable period due to higher operating income from continuing operations, higher other income, and lower income tax provision, partially offset by higher interest expense as a result of higher average debt levels during 2014 and foreign currency losses in the current period compared to foreign currency gains in the prior year comparable period.

Sales

The following table sets forth sales by segment for the periods noted (dollars in thousands):


	Three Months Ended

These increases were offset by a decline in sales volume in our visualization solutions and imaging informatics products related to dual sourcing at an OEM customer that began in 2013, and a delay in new product releases.

Medical Technologies segment sales for the six months ended June 27, 2014 increased by $11.5 million, or 25.1%, compared to the prior year comparable period. The JADAK acquisition accounted for $17.7 million of the increase in sales year over year. Similar business dynamics impacted sales volume in our visualization solutions and imaging informatics products in both the three and six month periods ended June 27, 2014.

Precision Motion

Precision Motion segment sales for the three months ended June 27, 2014 increased by $1.1 million, or 6.3%, compared to the prior year comparable period. This increase was driven by an increase in sales volumes of our optical encoders products as a result of new customer wins and increases in capital spending in the advanced industrial technology markets. This increase was partially offset by a decline in sales of our air bearing spindles products.

Precision Motion segment sales for the six months ended June 27, 2014 increased by $2.6 million, or 8.6%, compared to the prior year comparable period. The increase was primarily attributable to capital spending in the industrial market, and further compounded by a new design win with a large medical OEM.

Gross profit and gross profit margin can be influenced by a number of factors, including product mix, pricing, volume, manufacturing efficiencies and utilization, costs for raw materials and outsourced manufacturing, headcount, inventory obsolescence and warranty expenses.

Laser Products

Laser Products segment gross profit for the three months ended June 27, 2014 increased $0.5 million, or 2.9%, compared to the prior year comparable period primarily due to Laser Products sales growth. Laser Products segment gross profit margin was 39.1% for the three months ended June 27, 2014, compared with a gross profit margin of 41.2% for the prior year comparable period. The 2.1 percentage point decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to a change in product mix related to increased sales of fiber laser products, and investments and other start-up related costs associated with the Company’s new product introductions and continuous improvement initiatives.

Laser Products segment gross profit for the six months ended June 27, 2014 increased $2.0 million, or 6.2%, compared to the prior year comparable period primarily due to Laser Products sales growth. Laser Products segment gross profit margin was 39.9% for the six months ended June 27, 2014, compared with a gross profit margin of 40.9% during the prior year comparable period. The decrease in gross profit margin was attributable to similar dynamics affecting our gross profit margin for the three months ended June 27, 2014.

Medical Technologies

Medical Technologies segment gross profit for the three months ended June 27, 2014 increased $5.6 million, or 67.3%, compared to the prior year comparable period. The increase was primarily attributable to the JADAK acquisition, which accounted for $6.3 million of the increase in gross profit year over year, offset by a decline in gross profit for visualization solutions and imaging informatics products due to lower sales. Medical Technologies segment gross profit margin was 39.8% for the three months ended June 27, 2014, compared with a gross profit margin of 37.4% for the prior year comparable period. The 2.4 percentage point increase in gross profit margin was primarily related to a decline in the amortization of our developed technology and inventory fair value step-ups in our visualization solutions and imaging informatics product lines as a result of the NDS acquisition and, to a lesser extent, the acquisition of JADAK in March 2014. Included in gross profit for the three months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013 was amortization of developed technology and amortization of inventory fair value step-ups of $1.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Medical Technologies segment gross profit for the six months ended June 27, 2014 increased $5.0 million, or 28.1%, compared to the prior year comparable period. The increase was primarily attributable to the JADAK acquisition, which accounted for $7.1 million of the increase in gross profit from the prior year comparable period, partially offset by similar business dynamics affecting our gross profit for the three months ended June 27, 2014. Included in gross profit was amortization of developed technology and amortization of inventory fair value step-ups of $1.9 million for the six months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013, respectively. Medical Technologies segment gross profit margin was 39.8% for the six months ended June 27, 2014, compared with a gross profit margin of 38.8% for the prior year comparable period. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily related to similar business dynamics affecting our gross profit margin for the three months ended June 27, 2014.

Precision Motion

Precision Motion segment gross profit for the three months ended June 27, 2014 decreased $0.3 million, or 4.1%, compared to the prior year comparable period. The decrease in gross profit was due to the decline in sales of our air bearing spindles products partially offset by increased sales of optical encoders products. Precision Motion segment gross profit margin was 43.5% for the three months ended June 27, 2014, compared with a gross profit margin of 48.2% for the prior year comparable period. The decline in gross profit margin was due to the decline in sales of our air bearing spindles products, as well as manufacturing start-up costs associated with an insourcing project.

Precision Motion segment gross profit for the six months ended June 27, 2014 increased $0.3 million, or 2.2%, compared to the prior year comparable period primarily due to the increase in sales volume of our optical encoders products, which was partially offset by a decline in sales volume in our air bearing spindles products. Precision Motion segment gross profit margin was 43.3% for the six months ended June 27, 2014, compared with a gross profit margin of 46.0% for the prior year comparable period. The 2.7 percentage point decrease in gross profit margin was primarily driven by a decline in sales of our air bearing spindles product line, as well as manufacturing ramp up costs associated with an insourcing project.

Total	$	32,171	$	27,849	$	60,208	$	57,018

Research and Development and Engineering Expenses

Research and development and engineering (“R&D”) expenses are primarily comprised of employee compensation related expenses and cost of materials for R&D projects. R&D expenses were $7.5 million, or 7.7% of sales, during the three months ended June 27, 2014, compared with $6.1 million, or 7.7% of sales, during the prior year comparable period. R&D expenses increased in terms of total dollars during the three months ended June 27, 2014 primarily due to the acquisition of JADAK.

R&D expenses were $13.4 million, or 7.6% of sales, during the six months ended June 27, 2014, compared with $11.9 million, or 7.7% of sales, during the prior year comparable period. R&D expenses increased in terms of total dollars due to the acquisition of JADAK.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses include costs for sales and marketing, sales administration, finance, human resources, legal, information systems, and executive management. SG&A expenses were $21.4 million, or 22.1% of sales, during the three months ended June 27, 2014, compared with $19.4 million, or 24.3% of sales, during the prior year comparable period. SG&A expenses primarily increased in terms of total dollars due to the acquisition of JADAK.

SG&A expenses were $41.0 million, or 23.3% of sales, during the six months ended June 27, 2014, compared with $38.1 million, or 24.6% of sales, during the prior year comparable period. SG&A expenses primarily increased in terms of total dollars due to the acquisition of JADAK.

Amortization of Purchased Intangible Assets

Amortization of purchased intangible assets, excluding the amortization for developed technologies included in cost of sales, was $2.9 million, or 3.0% of sales, during the three months ended June 27, 2014, compared with $1.6 million, or 2.0% of sales, during the prior year comparable period. The increase, in terms of total dollars and as a percentage of sales, was related to the increase in amortization of acquired intangible assets from the JADAK acquisition.

Amortization of purchased intangible assets, excluding the amortization for developed technologies that is included in cost of sales, was $4.6 million, or 2.6% of sales, during the six months ended June 27, 2014, compared with $3.9 million, or 2.5% of sales, during the prior year comparable period. The increase, in terms of total dollars and as a percentage of sales, was related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets from the JADAK acquisition.

Restructuring and Acquisition Related Costs

We recorded restructuring and acquisition related costs of $0.4 million during the three months ended June 27, 2014, compared with $0.7 million during the prior year comparable period. During the three months ended June 27, 2014, we recognized acquisition related costs of $0.5 million, which primarily related to expenses recognized under earn-out agreements in connection with the JADAK acquisition. During the six months ended June 27, 2014, we recorded restructuring and acquisition related costs of $1.2 million, compared to $3.2 million during the prior year comparable period. Acquisition related costs for the six months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013 were $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The decrease in restructuring and acquisition related costs during the three and six month periods ended June 27, 2014 compared to the prior year comparable periods is mainly due to the decrease in costs related to the 2011 and 2013 restructuring plans.

Operating Income from Continuing Operations by Segment

The following table sets forth operating income from continuing operations by segment for the periods noted (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 27, 2014			June 28, 2013			June 27, 2014			June 28, 2013
Operating Income from Continuing Operations

Total	$	6,480		$	5,390		$	10,548		$	6,852

Laser Products

Laser Products operating income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 27, 2014 increased by $1.4 million, or 25.8%, compared to the prior year comparable period. The increase in operating income from continuing operations was due to an increase in gross profit, lower SG&A expenses and lower restructuring and acquisition related costs. Restructuring costs for the three months ended June 27, 2014 decreased by $0.4 million from the prior year comparable period.

Laser Products operating income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 27, 2014 increased by $3.8 million, or 37.9%, primarily due to an increase in gross profit and lower restructuring and acquisition related costs. Restructuring costs for the six months ended June 27, 2014 decreased by $1.2 million from the prior year comparable period.

Medical Technologies

Medical Technologies operating income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 27, 2014 decreased by $0.4 million, or 90.5%, compared to the prior year comparable period. The decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in amortization of intangible assets of $1.5 million as result of the JADAK acquisition and a decline in visualization solutions and imaging informatics revenue, partially offset by operating income from continuing operations from the JADAK acquisition.

Medical Technologies operating income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 27, 2014 decreased by $1.9 million, or 104.3%, compared to the prior year comparable period. The decrease was attributable to an increase in amortization of intangibles and amortization of our inventory fair value step-ups of $0.7 million and a decline in visualization solutions and imaging informatics revenue, partially offset by an increase in operating income from continuing operations from the JADAK acquisition.

Precision Motion

Precision Motion operating income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 27, 2014 decreased by $0.3 million, or 7.6%, compared to the prior year comparable period. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in gross profit of our air bearing spindles products.

Precision Motion operating income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 27, 2014 increased by $0.3 million, or 4.6%, primarily due to an increase in gross profit of our optical encoders products.

Corporate, Shared Services and Unallocated

Corporate, shared services and unallocated costs primarily represent costs of corporate functions that are not allocated to the operating segments, including certain restructuring and most acquisition related costs. These costs for the three and six months ended June 27, 2014 decreased compared to the prior year comparable periods due to lower restructuring costs and savings from prior restructurings. The Company recorded restructuring and acquisition related costs of $0.1 million and $0.8 million during the three and six months ended June 27, 2014, respectively, compared to $0.2 million and $1.4 million in the prior year comparable periods. The decrease in restructuring and acquisition related costs during the three and six month period ended on June 27, 2014 compared to the prior year comparable period is mainly due to the decrease in costs related to the 2011 and 2013 restructuring plans.

Other Income and Expense Items

The following table sets forth other income and expense items for the periods noted (dollars in thousands):


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 27, 2014			June 28, 2013			June 27, 2014			June 28, 2013
Interest income (expense), net	$	(1,375	)	$	(921	)	$	(2,212	)	$	(1,819	)
Foreign exchange transaction gains (losses), net		(61	)		(459	)		(80	)		760
Other income (expense), net		419			293			1,000			662

Total	$	(1,017	)	$	(1,087	)	$	(1,292	)	$	(397	)

Interest Income (Expense), Net

The increase in interest income (expense), net from the 2013 periods to the comparable 2014 periods was the result of higher average debt levels and average interest rates during 2014. The weighted average interest rate on the Senior Credit Facilities was 3.05% and 2.74% during the three months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013, respectively, and 3.20% and 2.81% during the six months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013, respectively. Included in interest income (expense), net was non-cash interest expense of approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million during the three and six month periods ended June 27, 2014, respectively, related to amortization of deferred financing costs on our debt.

Foreign Exchange Transaction Gains (Losses), Net

Foreign exchange transaction gains (losses), net, were less than ($0.1) million net losses for the three months ended June 27, 2014, compared to ($0.5) million net losses for the prior year comparable period due to changes in the U.S. Dollar against the Euro, British Pound and Japanese Yen.

Foreign exchange transaction gains (losses), net, were less than ($0.1) million net losses for the six months ended June 27, 2014, compared to $0.8 million net gain for the prior year comparable period due to changes in the U.S. Dollar against the Euro, British Pound and Japanese Yen.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net, was $0.4 million and $1.0 million during the three and six months ended June 27, 2014, respectively, compared to $0.3 million and $0.7 million during the three and six months ended June 28, 2013, respectively. The increase in other income (expense), net during the six months ended June 27, 2014 is primarily related to the increase in the ownership percentage for our equity investment in Laser Quantum which increased from 25% to 41% during the second quarter of 2013.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 27, 2014 was 37.7%, compared to 70.1% for the prior year comparable period. The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013 differ from the Canadian statutory rate of 27.0% and 26.0% respectively, primarily due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with varying tax rates and losses in jurisdictions with a valuation allowance which are not benefited in the income tax provision and the impact of discrete items.

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 27, 2014 was 32.3%, compared to 53.0% for the prior year comparable period. The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013 differ from the Canadian statutory rate of 27.0% and 26.0%, respectively, primarily due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with varying tax rates and losses in jurisdictions with a valuation allowance which are not benefited in the income tax provision and the impact of discrete items.

The Company recognized a net tax benefit associated with uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of the statute of limitations of $0.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, during the three and six months periods ended June 27, 2014.

Discontinued Operations

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $2.7 million and $4.5 million during the three and six months ended June 27, 2014, compared to loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $2.1 million and $1.8 million during the three and six months ended June 28, 2013. The increase in the loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the three and six months ended June 27, 2014 was primarily due a $1.4 million and $3.0 million pre-tax fair value write-down of the Scientific Lasers business to its estimated fair value less cost to sell for the three and six months ended June 27, 2014, offset by the sale of the Semiconductor Systems business in May 2013.

On July 15, 2014, we completed the sale of certain assets and liabilities of our Scientific Lasers business for approximately $7.0 million in cash, subject to working capital adjustments. We expect to record a taxable loss in the third quarter of 2014 related to the sale of our Scientific Lasers business in the amount of zero to $0.5 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing, and financing activities. Our primary ongoing cash requirements are funding operations, capital expenditures, investments in businesses, and repayment of our debt and related interest expense. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We believe our future operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our future operating and investing cash needs for the foreseeable future, including at least the next 12 months. The availability of borrowings under our revolving credit facility provides an additional potential source of liquidity should it be required. In addition, we may seek to raise additional capital, which could be in the form of bonds, convertible debt or equity, to fund business development activities or other future investing cash requirements, subject to approval by the lenders in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Significant factors affecting the management of our ongoing cash requirements are the adequacy of available bank lines of credit. The sources of our liquidity are subject to all of the risks of our business and could be adversely affected by, among other factors, a decrease in demand for our products, our ability to integrate current and future acquisitions, deterioration in certain financial ratios, and market changes in general. See “Risks Relating to Our Common Shares and Our Capital Structure” included in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Our ability to make payments on our indebtedness and to fund our operations may be dependent upon the earnings and the distribution of funds from our subsidiaries. Local laws and regulations and/or the terms of our indebtedness restrict certain of our subsidiaries from paying dividends and transferring assets to us. We cannot assure you that applicable laws and regulations and/or the terms of our indebtedness will permit our subsidiaries to provide us with sufficient dividends, distributions or loans when necessary.

As of June 27, 2014, $21.2 million of our $45.0 million cash and cash equivalents was held by our subsidiaries outside of Canada and the United States. Generally, our intent is to use cash held in these foreign subsidiaries to fund our local operations or acquisitions. However, in certain instances, we have identified excess cash for which we may repatriate and we have established deferred tax liabilities for the expected tax cost. Additionally, we may use intercompany loans to address short-term cash flow needs for various subsidiaries.

In October 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase plan under which the Company may repurchase outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock up to an aggregate amount of $10.0 million. The shares may be repurchased from time to time, at the Company’s discretion, based on ongoing assessment of the capital needs of the business, the market price of the Company’s common stock, and general market conditions. Shares may also be repurchased through an accelerated stock purchase agreement, on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. Repurchases may be made under certain SEC regulations, which would permit common stock to be purchased when the Company would otherwise be prohibited from doing so under insider trading laws. The share repurchase plan does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock. No time limit was set for the completion of the share repurchase program, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The Company expects to fund the share repurchase through cash on hand and future cash flow from operations. As of December 31, 2013, the Company repurchased 50 thousand shares of its common stock for an aggregate amount of $0.5 million on the open market for a weighted average price of $10.49 per share. There have been no share repurchases to date in 2014.

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

In December 2012, we entered into an amended and restated senior secured credit agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), consisting of a $50.0 million, 5-year term loan facility and a $75.0 million, 5-year revolving credit facility (collectively, the “Senior Credit Facilities”). The Senior Credit Facilities mature in December 2017. On February 10, 2014, we entered into a fourth amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”). The Fourth Amendment increased the revolving credit facility commitment under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by $100 million from $75 million to $175 million and resets the accordion feature to $100 million for future expansion. Additionally, the Fourth Amendment increased the maximum permitted consolidated leverage ratio financial covenant from 2.75 to 3.00.

As of June 27, 2014, we had outstanding term loans of $38.8 million and revolving loans of $96.0 million outstanding under the Senior Credit Facilities.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains various covenants that we believe are usual and customary for this type of agreement, including a maximum allowed leverage ratio, and a minimum required fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). The following table summarizes these financial covenant requirements and our compliance as of June 27, 2014:


	Requirement		Actual
Maximum consolidated leverage ratio		3.00		2.22
Minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio		1.50		4.65

Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013

Unused and available funds under revolving credit facility	$	79,000	$	46,000

Operating Cash Flows

Cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $19.9 million for the six months ended June 27, 2014, compared to $20.5 million for the prior year comparable period. Income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 27, 2014 increased from the prior year comparable period while changes in operating assets and liabilities increased cash for the six months ended June 27, 2014 by $0.1 million. However, this compares to a $2.3 million increase in cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 28, 2013, resulting in an overall $0.6 million decrease in cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations for the six months ended June 27, 2014 when compared to the six months ended June 28, 2013.

Cash provided by operating activities of discontinued operations was $0.1 million for the six months ended June 27, 2014, compared to cash used in operating activities of $2.8 million from the prior year comparable period.

Investing Cash Flows

Net cash used in investing activities of our continuing operations was $96.2 million during the six months ended June 27, 2014, compared to $84.7 million during the six months ended June 28, 2013. Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 27, 2014 was primarily due to cash consideration paid for the JADAK acquisition in March 2014 and $2.6 million in capital expenditures.

Cash outflows from investing activities of continuing operations during the six months ended June 28, 2013 were primarily related to cash consideration paid for the NDS acquisition in January 2013 and $2.2 million in capital expenditures.

Cash used in investing activities of discontinued operations was $0.9 million for the six months ended June 27, 2014, compared to proceeds of $11.3 million from the prior year comparable period. Cash used in investing activities of discontinued operations for the six months ended June 27, 2014 was primarily related to purchases of property, plant and equipment of $0.9 million. Cash provided by investing activities of discontinued operations for the six months ended June 28, 2013 was primarily the result of $7.0 million net proceeds from the sale of the Semiconductor Systems business and $4.6 million proceeds from the sale of our East Setauket, New York facility which was part of our Scientific Lasers business.

Financing Cash Flows

Cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations was $60.9 million during the six months ended June 27, 2014, consisting of $77.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility to fund the JADAK acquisition, offset by $3.8 million of contractual term loan payments, $10.0 million of optional repayments of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and $0.7 million fees paid in connection with the Fourth Amendment. The Company also made payroll tax payments on stock-based awards of $1.5 million and capital lease payments of $0.5 million.

Cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations was $43.8 million during the six months ended June 28, 2013, consisting of $60.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility to fund the NDS acquisition, offset by contractual repayments on our term loan of $3.8 million, optional repayments of borrowings under our revolving credit facility of $11.0 million and $0.1 million bank fees. The Company also made payroll tax payments on stock-based awards of $0.7 million and capital lease payments of $0.6 million in the six months ended June 28, 2013.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Contractual Obligations

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations primarily consist of the principal and interest associated with our debt, operating and capital leases, purchase commitments and pension obligations. Such contractual obligations are described in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, each included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. Excluding leases and purchase commitments in the ordinary course of business acquired as a result of the JADAK acquisition and the $70.0 million drawdown on our credit facility to fund the JADAK acquisition, through June 27, 2014, we have not entered into any material new or modified contractual obligations since the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The following table summarizes contractual obligations at June 27, 2014 related to JADAK (in thousands):


Contractual Obligations	Total		2014 (remainder of year)		2015-2016		2017-2018		Thereafter

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has an equity method investment in a privately held company located in the United Kingdom, Laser Quantum Ltd. Group (“Laser Quantum”). The Company has an ownership interest of approximately 41% in the Laser Quantum Ltd. Group business. We continue to recognize our share of the earnings of this entity under the equity method.

Through June 27, 2014, we have not entered into any other off-balance sheet arrangements or material transactions with any unconsolidated entities or other persons.
