Basis of Presentation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OSI Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to interim financial reporting guidelines and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 27, 2010. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

Per Share Computations

 

The Company computes basic earnings per share by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company computes diluted earnings per share by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of restricted shares and shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants under the treasury stock method. Stock options and warrants to purchase a total of 1.3 million shares of common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2009, were not included in diluted earnings per share calculations because to do so would have been antidilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

 

		Three months Ended  September 30
		2009			2010
Net income for diluted earnings per share calculation		$	2,510		$	3,392
Weighted average shares for basic earnings per share calculation		17,503			18,433
Dilutive effect of stock awards and warrants		315			645
Weighted average shares for diluted earnings per share calculation		17,818			19,078
Basic net income per share		$	0.14		$	0.18
Diluted net income per share		$	0.14		$	0.18

 

Comprehensive Income

 

Comprehensive income is computed as follows (in thousands):

 

		Three Months Ended  September 30,
		2009			2010
Net income		$	2,510		$	3,392
Foreign currency translation adjustments		(1,577		)	4,912
Other		(35		)	160
Comprehensive income		$	898		$	8,464

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments—The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt instruments. The carrying values of financial instruments, other than debt instruments, are representative of their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The carrying values of the Company’s long-term debt instruments are considered to approximate their fair values because the interest rates of these instruments are variable or comparable to current rates offered to the Company.

 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company has determined that all of its marketable securities fall into the “Level 1” category, which values assets at the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; while the Company’s derivative instruments fall into the “Level 2” category, which values assets and liabilities from observable inputs other than quoted market prices. There were no assets or liabilities where “Level 3” valuation techniques were used and there were no assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

 

The fair values of such assets were:

 

		June 30, 2010			September 30, 2010
Level 1		$	5,750		$	7,464
Level 2		(244		)	(744		)
Total		$	5,506		$	6,720

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity

 

The Company’s use of derivatives consists primarily of foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts totaling $8.0 million to sell foreign currencies in anticipation of the settlement in fiscal 2011 of sales denominated in that currency.  In addition, to reduce the unpredictability of cash flows from interest payments related to variable, LIBOR-based debt, the Company has outstanding a three-year interest rate swap agreement, under which the Company incurs interest expense based upon a fixed 1.69% rate index for a portion of its term loan. The interest rate swap matures in March 2012. Each of these derivative contracts is considered an effective cash flow hedge in its entirety. As a result, the net gains or losses on such derivative contracts have been reported as a component of other comprehensive income in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and are reclassified as net earnings when the hedged transactions settle.

 

Business Combinations

 

During the normal course of business the Company makes acquisitions.  In the event that an individual acquisition (or an aggregate of acquisitions) is material, appropriate disclosure of such acquisition activity is disclosed.

 

Recent Accounting Updates Not Yet Adopted

 

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standards update (ASU) improving disclosures surrounding fair market value measurements.  This update requires disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.  Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets include equity method investments that are recognized at fair value at the end of the period to the extent that they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. Non-financial assets such as property plant and equipment, land, goodwill and intangible assets are also subject to nonrecurring fair value measurements if they are deemed to be impaired. The impairment models used for nonfinancial assets depend on the type of asset.  This portion of the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted.  The Company has not yet adopted this update and is currently evaluating the impact it may have on its financial condition and results of operations.

4. Borrowings

 

On October 15, 2010, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks for a $250 million revolving credit facility.  This credit agreement replaced the existing agreement described below, which was repaid and terminated simultaneously with the close of the new agreement.  The new facility consists of a $250 million, five-year revolving credit facility, including a $155 million sub-limit for letters of credit.  Borrowings under this facility bear interest, based on the Company’s option, at either (i) London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus margins that range from 2.00% to 2.50% or (ii) the sum of margins that range from 1.00% to 1.50% and the higher of (a) the bank’s prime rate, (b) the Fed Fund’s rate plus 0.5% or (c) LIBOR plus 1.0%.  The margins are determined by the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio.  The Company’s borrowings under the credit agreement are guaranteed by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of the Company’s and certain subsidiaries’ assets. The agreement contains various representations, warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and conditions of default customary for financing agreements of this type, including restrictions on the Company’s ability to pay cash dividends.

 

Prior to the closing of the aforementioned revolving credit facility, the Company maintained a credit agreement with certain lenders allowing for a $74.5 million revolving credit facility (including a $64.5 million sub-limit for letters-of-credit) and an amortizing five-year term loan, which would have matured in July 2012.  Borrowings under the agreement bore interest at either (i) LIBOR plus margins that range from 2.00% to 2.50% or (ii) the sum of margins that range from 1.00% to 1.50% and the higher of (a) the bank’s prime rate or (b) Fed Fund’s rate plus 0.5%. The rates were determined based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio.  As of September 30, 2010, the weighted-average interest rate under the credit agreement was 2.3%. The Company’s borrowings under the credit agreement were guaranteed by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the Company’s and certain subsidiaries’ assets. The agreement contained various representations, warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and conditions of default customary for financing agreements of this type, including restrictions on the Company’s ability to pay cash dividends. As of September 30, 2010, $25.7 million was outstanding under the term loan, while no debt was outstanding under the revolving credit facility, and $38.0 million was outstanding under the letter-of-credit facility.

 

Several of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries maintain bank lines-of-credit, denominated in local currencies, to meet short-term working capital requirements and for the issuance of letters-of-credit. As of September 30, 2010, $18.6 million was outstanding under these letter-of-credit facilities, while no debt was outstanding. As of September 30, 2010, the total amount available under these credit facilities was $13.9 million, with a total cash borrowing sub-limit of $4.2 million.

 

In fiscal 2005, the Company entered into a bank loan of $5.3 million to fund the acquisition of land and buildings in the U.K. The loan is payable over a 20-year period. The loan bears interest at British pound-based LIBOR plus 1.2%, payable on a quarterly basis. As of September 30, 2010, $3.1 million remained outstanding under this loan at an interest rate of 1.9% per annum.

 

Long-term debt consisted of the following (in thousands):

 

		June 30, 2010			September 30, 2010

For each of the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, the Company made contributions of $0.1 million to these defined benefit plans.

 

In addition, the Company sponsors several defined contribution benefit plans. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, the Company made contributions of $0.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively, to these defined contribution plans.

 

7. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal Proceedings

 

The Company is involved in various claims and legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of business. In the Company’s opinion after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of such proceedings is not likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, future results of operations, or cash flows. The Company has not accrued for loss contingencies relating to such matters because the Company believes that, although unfavorable outcomes in the proceedings may be possible, they are not considered by management to be probable or reasonably estimable. If one or more of these matters are resolved in a manner adverse to the Company, the impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and/or liquidity could be material.

Contingent Acquisition Obligations

 

Under the terms and conditions of the purchase agreements associated with certain acquisitions, the Company may be obligated to make additional payments based on the achievement by the acquired operations of certain sales and profitability milestones.   Some of the purchase agreements the Company has entered into do not put a cap on the total payments that may be earned, or a deadline for such payments. For acquisitions that occurred prior to fiscal year 2010, which were accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 141, “Business Combinations,” the Company accounts for such contingent payments as an addition to the purchase price of the acquired company. For acquisitions accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification 805, “Purchase Price Allocations,” (“ASC 805”), the estimated fair value of these obligations is recorded as a liability in the consolidated balance sheet with subsequent revisions reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2010, pursuant to ASC 805, $9.3 million of contingent payment obligations are included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

Environmental Contingencies

 

The Company is subject to various environmental laws. The Company’s practice is to ensure that Phase I environmental site assessments are conducted for each of its properties in the United States at which the Company manufactures products in order to identify, as of the date of such report, potential areas of environmental concern related to past and present activities or from nearby operations. In certain cases, the Company has conducted further environmental assessments consisting of soil and groundwater testing and other investigations deemed appropriate by independent environmental consultants.

 

During one investigation, the Company discovered soil and groundwater contamination at its Hawthorne, California facility. The Company filed the requisite reports concerning this problem with the appropriate environmental authorities in fiscal 2001. The Company has not yet received any response to such reports, and no agency action or litigation is presently pending or threatened. The Company’s site was previously used by other companies for semiconductor manufacturing similar to that presently conducted on the site by us, and it is not presently known who is responsible for the contamination or, if required, the remediation. The groundwater contamination is a known regional problem, not limited to the Company’s premises or its immediate surroundings.

 

The Company has also been informed of soil and groundwater evaluation efforts at a facility that its Ferson Technologies subsidiary previously leased in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Ferson Technologies occupied the facility until October 2003. The Company believes that the owner and previous occupants of the facility have primary responsibility for any remediation that may be required and have an agreement with the facility’s owner under which the owner is responsible for remediation of pre-existing conditions. However, as site evaluation efforts are still in progress, and may be for some time, the Company is unable at this time to ascertain whether Ferson Technologies bears any exposure for remediation costs under applicable environmental regulations.

 

The Company has not accrued for loss contingencies relating to the above environmental matters because it believes that, although unfavorable outcomes may be possible, they are not considered by the Company’s management to be probable and reasonably estimable.

 

If one or more of these matters are resolved in a manner adverse to the Company, the impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and/or liquidity could be material.

 

Product Warranties

 

The Company offers its customers warranties on many of the products that it sells. These warranties typically provide for repairs and maintenance of the products if problems arise during a specified time period after original shipment. Concurrent with the sale of products, the Company records a provision for estimated warranty expenses with a corresponding increase in cost of goods sold. The Company periodically adjusts this provision based on historical and anticipated experience. The Company charges actual expenses of repairs under warranty, including parts and labor, to this provision when incurred.

 

The following table presents changes in warranty provisions (in thousands):

8. Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes is determined using an effective tax rate that is subject to fluctuations during the year as new information is obtained, which may affect the assumptions used to estimate the annual effective tax rate, including factors such as the mix of pre-tax earnings in the various tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates, valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, the recognition or derecognition of tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions, utilization of R&D tax credits and changes in or the interpretation of tax laws in jurisdictions where the Company conducts business. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of its assets and liabilities along with net operating loss and tax credit carryovers. The Company records a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets to reduce the net carrying value to an amount that it believes is more likely than not to be realized. When the Company establishes or reduces the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, the provision for income taxes will be adjusted in the period such determination is made.

 

9. Segment and Enterprise-Wide Information

 

The Company operates in three identifiable industry segments: (i) Security, providing security and inspection systems and related services; (ii) Healthcare, providing patient monitoring, diagnostic cardiology and anesthesia systems and related services; and (iii) Optoelectronics and Manufacturing, providing specialized electronic components for affiliated end-products divisions, as well as for applications in the defense and aerospace markets, among others. The Company also has a Corporate segment that includes executive compensation and certain other general and administrative expenses. Interest expense, and certain expenses related to legal, audit and other professional service fees, are not allocated to industry segments. Both the Security and Healthcare divisions comprise primarily end-product businesses whereas the Optoelectronics and Manufacturing division comprises businesses that primarily supply components and subsystems to original equipment manufacturers, including to the businesses of the Security and Healthcare divisions. All intersegment sales are eliminated in consolidation.

Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties described in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our Annual Report on Form 10-K and other documents previously filed or hereafter filed by us from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such factors, of course, do not include all factors that might affect our business and financial condition. Although we believe that the assumptions upon which our forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, such assumptions could prove to be inaccurate and actual results could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are qualified in their entirety by this statement. We undertake no obligation other than as may be required under securities laws to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions and select accounting policies that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our critical accounting policies are detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

We describe recent accounting pronouncements in Item 1 — “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.”

 

Executive Summary

 

We are a vertically integrated designer and manufacturer of specialized electronic systems and components for critical applications. We sell our products and provide related services in diversified markets, including homeland security, healthcare, defense and aerospace. We have three operating divisions: (i) Security; (ii) Healthcare; and (iii) Optoelectronics and Manufacturing.

 

Security Division. Through our Security division, we design, manufacture and market security and inspection systems worldwide to end

users under the “Rapiscan Systems” trade name. Rapiscan Systems products are used to inspect baggage, cargo, people, vehicles and other objects for weapons, explosives, drugs and other contraband. These systems are also used for the safe, accurate and efficient verification of cargo manifests for the purpose of assessing duties and monitoring the export and import of controlled materials. Rapiscan Systems products fall into four categories: baggage and parcel inspection, cargo and vehicle inspection, hold (checked) baggage screening and people screening. We also offer turnkey security screening services under the “S2 Global” trade name.  Revenues from our Security division accounted for 40% and 35% of our total consolidated revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

As a result of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and subsequent attacks in other locations worldwide, security and inspection products have increasingly been used at a wide range of facilities other than airports, such as border crossings, railway stations, seaports, cruise line terminals, freight forwarding operations, government and military installations and nuclear facilities.

 

Healthcare Division. Through our Healthcare division, we design, manufacture, market and service patient monitoring, diagnostic cardiology and anesthesia delivery and ventilation systems for sale primarily to hospitals and medical centers. Our products monitor patients in critical, emergency and perioperative care areas of the hospital and provide such information, through wired and wireless networks, to physicians and nurses who may be at the patient’s bedside, in another area of the hospital or even outside the hospital. Revenues from our Healthcare division accounted for 36% and 35% of our total consolidated revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

The healthcare markets in which we operate are highly competitive. We believe that our customers choose among competing products on the basis of product performance, functionality, value and service. We also believe that the worldwide economic slowdown has caused some hospitals and healthcare to delay purchases of our products and services.  During this period of uncertainty, we may experience lower sales of patient monitoring, diagnostic cardiology and anesthesia systems products than we have historically experienced, resulting in a negative impact on our business. We cannot predict when the markets will recover and therefore when this period of delayed and diminished purchasing will end. A prolonged delay could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Optoelectronics and Manufacturing Division. Through our Optoelectronics and Manufacturing division, we design, manufacture and market optoelectronic devices and value-added manufacturing services worldwide for use in a broad range of applications, including aerospace and defense electronics, security and inspection systems, medical imaging and diagnostics, computed tomography (CT), fiber optics, telecommunications, gaming, office automation, computer peripherals and industrial automation. We also provide our optoelectronic devices and value-added manufacturing services to our own Security and Healthcare divisions. Revenues from our Optoelectronics and Manufacturing division accounted for 24% and 30% of our total consolidated revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, we reported an operating profit of $5.4 million, as compared to $4.2 million for the comparable prior year period. We realized this $1.2 million year over year increase in operating profit despite a 4% decrease in total revenue.  This improved profitability was driven primarily by a $2.4 million improvement in gross profit as a result of product mix and operational efficiencies.  The gross profit improvement was partially offset by a $1.2 million increase in research and development (R&D) expenses in support of new product introductions.

Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010, decreased $5.3 million, or 4%, to $128.5 million from $133.8 million for the comparable prior year period.

 

Revenues for the Security division for the three months ended September 30, 2010, increased $3.8 million, or 8%, to $51.1 million, from $47.3 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase was attributable to: (i) a $2.8 million or 8% increase in equipment sales mainly driven by a $8.1 million increase in people screening equipment as a result of wider adoption of body scanners partially offset by a $4.6 million decrease in sales of cargo and vehicle inspection systems; and (ii) a $1.0 million or 8% increase in service revenue.  .

 

Revenues for the Healthcare division for the three months ended September 30, 2010, decreased $1.1 million, or 2%, to $45.9 million, from $47.0 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $1.5 million decrease in patient monitoring revenues mainly in North America partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in our anesthesia equipment revenues.

 

Revenues for the Optoelectronics and Manufacturing division for the three months ended September 30, 2010, decreased $3.9 million, or 9%, to $41.9 million, from $45.8 million for the comparable prior year period. This change was primarily the result of an expected decrease in contract manufacturing sales of $9.1 million primarily due to the winding down of a defense-industry related contract partially offset by increases in commercial optoelectronics sales of $5.2 million.

 

Gross Profit

 

(in millions)		Q1 2010			% of Net Sales		Q1 2011			% of Net Sales
Gross profit		$	44.5		33.3	%	$	46.9		36.5	%

 

Gross profit increased $2.4 million, or 5%, to $46.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, from $44.5 million for the comparable prior year period.  The gross margin increased to 36.5% in the three months ended September 30, 2010, from 33.3% for the comparable prior year period.  The increase was primarily attributable to ongoing manufacturing efficiencies gained through facility consolidation and operational improvement initiatives as well as due to favorable product mix within our Security and Optoelectronics and Manufacturing divisions.

 

Operating Expenses

 

(in millions)		Q1 2010			% of Net Sales		Q1 2011			% of Net Sales		$ Change			% Change

Total operating expenses		$	40.3		30.1	%	$	41.5		32.3	%	$	(1.2	)	(3	)%

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses consist primarily of compensation paid to sales, marketing and administrative personnel, professional service fees and marketing expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, SG&A expenses decreased by $0.3 million, or 1%, to $32.0 million, from $32.3 million for the comparable prior year period. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses were 24.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to 24.1% for the comparable prior year period.  This reduction was primarily a result of reduced costs in our Corporate segment mainly driven by reductions in outside support related expenses.

 

Research and development. Research and development (R&D) expenses include research related to new product development and product enhancement expenditures. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, such expenses increased $1.2 million, or 15%, to $9.2 million, from $8.0 million for the comparable prior year period. As a percentage of revenues, research and development expenses were 7.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to 6.0% for the comparable prior year period. The increase in research and development expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2010, was primarily attributable to an increase in spending in our Security division in support of new product introductions.

Interest expense and other income, net.  Our net interest expense of $0.6 million was unchanged between periods.

 

Income taxes.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010, our income tax provision was $1.4 million, compared to $1.1 million for the comparable prior year period. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2010, was 30.0%, compared to 30.2% in the comparable prior year period. Our provision for income taxes is dependent on the mix of income from U.S. and foreign locations due to tax rate differences among countries as well as due to the impact of permanent taxable differences.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have financed our operations primarily through cash flow from operations, proceeds from equity issuances and our credit facilities. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $55.6 million at September 30, 2010, an increase of $3.6 million from $52.0 million at June 30, 2010. The changes in our working capital and cash and cash equivalent balances during the three months ended September 30, 2010 are described below.

 

		June 30, 2010			September 30, 2010			% Change
Working capital		$	204.6		$	212.2		4	%
Cash and cash equivalents		52.0			55.6			7	%

 

Working Capital. The increase in working capital is primarily due to: (i) increases in inventory of $21.0 million, primarily in our Security division, to support anticipated growth in shipments, (ii) decreases in accrued payroll and employee benefits of $8.1 million, (iii) a decrease in current portion of long term debt of $4.1 million, (iv) a $3.6 million increase in cash and cash equivalents and (v) decreases in advances from customers of $2.5 million, primarily in our Security division.  These decreases were partially offset by a $32.8 million reduction in accounts receivables, reflecting strong collections and the seasonality of sales.

 

		Three Months Ended September 30, 2009			Three Months Ended September 30, 2010			% Change
Cash provided by operating activities		$	10.5		$	9.6		(9	)%
Cash used in investing activities		(5.2		)	(4.7		)	10	%
Cash used by financing activities		(6.3		)	(2.0		)	68	%

 

Cash Used in Operating Activities. Cash flows from operating activities can fluctuate significantly from period to period, as net income, tax timing differences, and other items can significantly impact cash flows. Net cash provided by operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010, was $9.6 million, a $0.9 million reduction as compared to the $10.5 million generated in the comparable prior year period. The reduction was primarily due to the changes in working capital management in the current-year period versus the prior year period resulting in: (i) a $28.1 million increase in the change in inventory, reflecting the building of inventory primarily in our Security division to support  growth as well as due to improvements realized in the prior fiscal year due to inventory reduction initiatives, (ii) a $8.3 million decrease in cash received as advances from customers and (iii) a $5.5 million decrease in the change in accrued payroll and related expenses.  These unfavorable changes in cash flow were partially offset by the following favorable changes in working capital management: (i) $35.6 million increase in cash from accounts receivables reflecting the high level of sales in the forth quarter of fiscal 2010 and strong receivables collections and (ii) a $1.6 million reduction in the change in prepaid expenses and other current assets.  In addition, the unfavorable changes in cash flow provided by operating activities was partially offset by an increase in our net income of $2.2 million, after giving consideration to various adjustments to net income for non-operating cash items, including depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, deferred taxes and provision for losses on accounts receivable, among others, for both periods.

 

Cash Used in Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $0.5 million as compared to $5.2 million used for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  In the three months ended September 30, 2010, we used cash of $2.0 million for acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired, as compared to $3.2 million

expended in the comparable prior year period.  During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we also invested $2.0 million in capital expenditures compared to $1.5 million during the comparable prior year period.

 

Cash Provided by Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $6.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we paid down our debt and capital leases by $6.8 million. In the prior year period, we paid down our revolving lines of credit by $1.8 million and our term debt by $6.1 million.   In addition, we received proceeds of $4.8 million from the exercise of stock options and our employee stock purchase plan in the three months ended September 30, 2010 and $1.6 million for the comparable prior year period.

 

Borrowings

 

Outstanding lines of credit and current and long-term debt totaled $29.5 million at September 30, 2010, a decrease of $6.6 million from $36.1 million at June 30, 2010.

 

On October 15, 2010, we entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks for a $250.0 million revolving credit facility.  This credit agreement replaced the existing agreement discussed below, which was repaid and terminated simultaneously with the close of the new agreement.  The facility consists of a $250 million, five-year revolving credit facility, including a $155 million sub-limit for letters of credit.  Borrowings under this facility bear interest, as elected by us, at either (i) London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus margins that range from 2.00% to 2.50% or (ii) the sum of margins that range from 1.00% to 1.50% and the higher of (a) the bank’s prime rate, (b) Fed Fund’s rate plus 0.5% and (c) LIBOR plus 1.0%.  The margins are determined by our consolidated leverage ratio.  Our borrowings under the credit agreement are guaranteed by our domestic subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of the Company’s and certain subsidiaries’ assets. The agreement contains various representations, warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and conditions of default customary for financing agreements of this type, including restrictions on our ability to pay cash dividends.

 

Prior to the closing of the aforementioned revolving credit facility, we maintained a credit agreement with certain lenders allowing for a $74.5 million revolving credit facility (including a $64.5 million sub-limit for letters-of-credit) and an amortizing five-year term loan, which would have matured in July 2012.  Borrowings under the agreement bore interest, based on at our option, at either (i) LIBOR plus margins that range from 2.00% to 2.50% or (ii) the sum of margins that range from 1.00% to 1.50% and the higher of (a) the bank’s prime rate or (b) Fed Fund’s rate plus 0.5%. The rates were determined based on our consolidated leverage ratio.  As of September 30, 2010, the weighted-average interest rate under the credit agreement was 2.3%. Our borrowings under the credit agreement were guaranteed by our domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of our and certain subsidiaries’ assets. The agreement contained various representations, warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and conditions of default customary for financing agreements of this type, including restrictions on our ability to pay cash dividends. As of September 30, 2010, $25.7 million was outstanding under the term loan, while no debt was outstanding under the revolving credit facility, and $38.0 million was outstanding under the letter-of-credit facility.

 

Several of our foreign subsidiaries maintain bank lines-of-credit, denominated in local currencies, to meet short-term working capital requirements and for the issuance of letters-of-credit. As of September 30, 2010, $18.6 million was outstanding under these letter-of-credit facilities, while no debt was outstanding. As of September 30, 2010, the total amount available under these credit facilities was $13.9 million, with a total cash borrowing sub-limit of $4.2 million.

 

In fiscal 2005, we entered into a bank loan of $5.3 million to fund the acquisition of land and buildings in the U.K. The loan is payable over a 20-year period. The loan bears interest at British pound-based LIBOR plus 1.2%, payable on a quarterly basis. As of September 30, 2010, $3.1 million remained outstanding under this loan at an interest rate of 1.9% per annum.

 

Long-term debt consisted of the following (in thousands):

 

		June 30, 2010			September 30, 2010

We anticipate that existing cash borrowing arrangements and future access to capital markets should be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for the foreseeable future. However, our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including future business acquisitions, business development opportunities and levels of research and development spending, among other factors and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including the success of our businesses in generating cash, continued compliance with financial covenants contained in our credit facility, and the capital markets in general, among other factors.

 

Stock Repurchase Program

 

Our Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program under which we can repurchase up to 3,000,000 shares of our common stock.  During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we did not repurchase any shares under this program and 711,205 shares were available for repurchase under the program as of September 30, 2010.

 

Dividend Policy

 

We have not paid cash dividends on our common stock in the past and have no plans to do so in the foreseeable future.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

We presented our contractual obligations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. Except as discussed below, there have been no significant changes in those obligations during the first three months of fiscal 2011.

 

As a result of current and prior year acquisitions, we may have payment obligations based on the achievement by the acquired operations of certain sales and profitability milestones. Some of the purchase agreements we have entered into do not include a cap on the total payments that may be earned, or a deadline for such payments. For acquisitions accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 141, “Business Combinations,” we account for any such contingent payments as an addition to the purchase price of the acquired company. For acquisitions accounted for under ASC 805, the estimated fair value of these obligations will be recorded as a liability in the consolidated balance sheet with subsequent revisions reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2010, pursuant to ASC 805, $9.3 million of contingent payment obligations are included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of September 30, 2010, we did not have any significant off balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, no material changes occurred with respect to market risk as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

 

Market Risk

 

We are exposed to certain market risks, which are inherent in our financial instruments and arise from transactions entered into in the normal course of business. We may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions in order to manage or reduce market risk in connection with specific foreign-currency-denominated transactions. We do not enter into derivative financial instrument transactions for speculative purposes.

We are subject to interest rate risk on our short-term borrowings under our bank lines of credit. Borrowings under these lines of credit do not give rise to significant interest rate risk because these borrowings have short maturities and are borrowed at variable interest rates. Historically, we have not experienced material gains or losses due to interest rate changes.

 

Foreign Currency

 

We maintain the accounts of our operations in each of the following countries in the following currencies: Finland, France, Germany, Italy and Greece (Euros), United Kingdom (U.K. pounds), Norway (Norwegian kroners), Cyprus (Cypriot pounds and U.S. dollars), Singapore (Singapore dollars and U.S. dollars), Malaysia (Malaysian ringgits), India (Indian rupees), Indonesia (Indonesian rupiah), Hong Kong (Hong Kong dollars), China (Chinese renminbi), Canada (Canadian dollars), Mexico (Mexican pesos), and Australia (Australian dollars). Foreign currency financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end rates, with the exception of revenues, costs and expenses, which are translated at average rates during the reporting period. We include gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions in income, while we exclude those resulting from translation of financial statements from income and include them as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI).  Transaction gains and losses, which were included in our condensed consolidated statement of operations, amounted to a loss of approximately $1.1 million and $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Furthermore, a 10% appreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currency exchange rates would have resulted in a net increase in our operating income of approximately $2 million in first quarter of fiscal 2011. Conversely, a 10% depreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currency exchange rates would have resulted in a net decrease in our operating income of approximately $2 million in first quarter of fiscal 2011.

 

Use of Derivatives

 

Our use of derivatives consists primarily of foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements. As discussed in note 1 to the condensed consolidated financials statements, as of September 30, 2010, we had outstanding a foreign currency forward contract and an interest rate swap agreement, which were considered effective cash flow hedges in their entirety. As a result, the net losses on such derivative contracts have been reported as a component of other comprehensive income in the Consolidated Financials Statements and will be reclassified into net earnings when the hedged transactions settle.

 

Importance of International Markets

 

International markets provide us with significant growth opportunities. However, the following events, among others, could adversely affect our financial results in subsequent periods: periodic economic downturns in different regions of the world, changes in trade policies or tariffs, wars and other forms of political instability. We continue to perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and, if deemed necessary, we require advance payments for sales. We monitor economic and currency conditions around the world to evaluate whether there may be any significant effect on our international sales in the future. Due to our overseas investments and the necessity of dealing in local currencies in many foreign business transactions, we are at risk with respect to foreign currency fluctuations.

 

Inflation

 

We do not believe that inflation had a material impact on our results of operations during the three months ended September 30, 2010.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

We utilize short-term and long-term financing and may use interest rate hedges to manage the effect of interest rate changes on our existing debt. As of September 30, 2010, we had an interest rate swap agreement outstanding as discussed above under “Use of Derivatives.”
