Infrared Optics Market.     Over the last few years, significant increases in the installed worldwide base of laser machines for a variety of laser processing applications have driven CO 2 laser optics component consumption. It is estimated that there are over 55,000 CO 2 laser systems currently deployed in the world. Laser systems meet the demand of manufacturers to reduce part cost and improve quality, as well as augment process precision, speed, throughput, flexibility, repeatability, and automation. CO 2 lasers offer benefits in a wide variety of cutting, welding, drilling, ablation, cladding, heat treating and marking applications for materials such as steel alloys, non-ferrous metals, plastics, wood, paper, fiberboard, ceramics and composites. Automobile manufacturers, for example, deploy lasers both to cut body components and to weld those parts together in high-throughput production lines. Manufacturers of motorcycles, lawn mowers and garden tractors cut, trim, and weld metal parts with lasers to reduce post-processing steps and, therefore, lower overall manufacturing costs. Furniture manufacturers utilize lasers because they allow easily reconfigurable, low-cost prototyping and production capabilities for customer-specified designs. In high-speed food and pharmaceutical packaging lines, laser marking provides automated product, date, and lot coding on containers. In addition to being installed by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of laser systems in new machine builds, our optical components are purchased as replacement parts by end users of laser machines to maintain proper system performance. We believe that the current addressable market serviced by the II-VI Infrared business is approximately $450 million.

One Micron Laser Market.     In many areas of material processing, laser technology has proved to be a better alternative to conventional production techniques. The precise cut and elegant seam are visible proof of a laser beam’s machining efficiency. Industrial applications such as cutting, drilling and welding have driven the recent market growth of the one-micron laser systems, and are demanding increased performance, lower total

cost of ownership, ease of use and portability of one-micron laser systems. One micron laser systems require efficient and reliable tools, including modular laser processing heads for fiber lasers, beam delivery systems including fiber optics cables and modular beam systems. We believe the current addressable market served by HIGHYAG is approximately $50 million.

Near-Infrared Optics Market .    The Near-Infrared laser market is driven by applications in the military, medical and industrial markets. The military laser market is driven by rangefinders, target designators, missile detection, countermeasures and high energy laser weapon systems. Medical applications include aesthetic, vision correction, dental and diagnostic lasers. Industrial market segments addressed by YAG lasers include higher power applications such as cutting and welding, and lower power applications such as marking and scribing. These industrial applications are demanding higher performance levels for less cost, creating competition for other technologies. The near-infrared market further addresses opportunities in the semiconductor processing, instrumentation and research segments. We believe the current addressable market serviced by our Near-Infrared Optics segment is approximately $240 million.

Military Infrared Optics Market .    Several key infrared optical components such as windows, domes and related subassemblies are core products offered to the military market for infrared applications in night vision, targeting, navigation and Homeland Security systems. Infrared window and window assemblies for navigational and targeting systems are deployed on fixed and rotary-wing aircraft, such as the F-16 fighter jet, Apache Attack Helicopter, Joint Strike Fighter and ground vehicles such as the Abrams M-1 Tank and Bradley Fighting Vehicle. Infrared domes are used on missiles with infrared guidance systems ranging from small, man-portable designs to larger designs mounted on helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft and ground vehicles. Additionally, multiple fighter jets including the F-16 are being equipped with large area sapphire windows manufactured by our Company, as a key component for the aircraft providing advanced targeting and imaging systems. The development and manufacture of these large area sapphire windows has played a key role in our ability to provide an even larger suite of sapphire panels that are a key component of the Joint Strike Fighter Electro Optical Targeting System. High-precision domes are an integral component of a missile’s targeting system providing efficient tactical capability while serving as a protective cover to its internal components. Our military infrared optical products are sold primarily to U.S. government prime contractors and directly to various U.S. government agencies. We believe the current addressable market serviced by our Military Infrared Optics business is approximately $300 million.

Materials Processing and Refinement Market .    Numerous processes require the presence of high purity elements for proper processing. The Company’s Pacific Rare Specialty Metals & Chemicals, Inc. (“PRM”) business addresses the market for two specific rare elements; selenium and tellurium. Selenium and tellurium usually are by-products of refining processes for other more common materials such as copper and zinc. High purity selenium and tellurium are used in a variety of industrial applications, including the manufacture of steel and glass, in the production of animal feeds and fertilizers, the manufacture of thermo-electric coolers and the production of photovoltaic solar panels. Our products are sold to customers who require selenium and/or tellurium in their manufacturing processes. We believe the current addressable market serviced by our PRM business is approximately $175 million and is highly dependent upon minor metal indexed pricing.

Thermo-electric Coolers Market.     Thermo-electric coolers (“TECs”) are solid-state semiconductor devices that act as small heat pumps to cool, heat or temperature stabilize a wide range of materials, components and systems. Conversely, the principles underlying thermo-electrics allow TECs to be used as a source of power when subjected to a temperature difference. TECs are more reliable than alternative cooling solutions that require moving parts, and provide more precise temperature control solutions than competing technologies. TECs also have many other advantages over competing technologies, which have spurred the adoption of TECs in a variety of industries and applications. For example, TECs provide critical cooling and temperature stabilization solutions in a myriad of defense and space applications, including infrared cooled and uncooled temperature stabilized night vision technologies and thermal reference sources that are deployed in smart and state-of-the-art weapons, as well as for cooling high powered lasers used for range finding target designation by our armed forces. TECs

also allow for temperature stabilization for telecommunication lasers that generate and amplify optical signals for fiber optics systems. Thermo-electric cooling solutions appear in a variety of medical applications including instrumentation and analytical applications such as DNA replication and blood analyzers, as well as in medical laser equipment. The industrial, commercial, and consumer markets provide a variety of niche applications ranging from desk-top refrigerators and wine coolers to semi-conductor process and test equipment. Mosquito trap applications utilize the power generation capabilities of the technology to rid residences, resorts and camps of mosquitoes. In addition, power generation applications are expanding into fields such as waste heat recovery, heat scavenging and co-generation. We believe the current addressable market serviced by our Marlow Industries, Inc. business is approximately $265 million.

Silicon Carbide Substrate Market .    Silicon Carbide (SiC) is a wide bandgap semiconductor material that offers high-temperature, high-power and high-frequency capabilities as a substrate for applications that are emerging at the high-performance end of the defense, telecommunication and industrial markets. SiC has certain intrinsic physical and electronic advantages over competing semiconductor materials such as silicon and gallium arsenide. For example, the high thermal conductivity of SiC enables SiC-based devices to operate at high power levels and still dissipate the excess heat generated. Typically, our customers deposit either SiC or Gallium Nitride (GaN) epitaxial layers on a SiC substrate and then fabricate optoelectronic or electronic devices. SiC and GaN-based structures are being developed and deployed for the manufacture of a wide variety of microwave and power switching devices. High power, high frequency SiC-based microwave devices are used in next generation wireless switching telecommunication applications and in both commercial and military radar applications. SiC based, high-power, high-speed devices improve the performance, efficiency and reliability of electrical power transmission and distribution systems (“smart grid”), as well as power conditioning and switching in power supplies and motor controls in a wide variety of applications including aircraft, hybrid vehicles, industrial, communications and green energy applications. We believe the current addressable market serviced by our Wide Bandgap Group is approximately $35 million.

  -  

Silicon Carbide Substrate Technology :    Technology development efforts in SiC substrates continue to move forward, with emphasis in the areas of material purity, defect density reduction, surface polishing and diameter expansion. We were awarded continued funding through the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and Missile Defense Agency (MDA) focused on the development and producibility of 100mm diameter 6H-SiC (semi-insulating) substrates for RF applications. We became one of the first groups to make this larger material commercially available. We also were awarded funding through AFRL for development and manufacturing optimization of 100mm 4H-SiC (conducting) substrates for high power switching applications. Our research and development efforts in all of these areas have been both internally and externally funded.

 

  -  

Ceramic Oxide Materials :    Our activities in this area are focused on process improvements, benchmarking the quality of commercially available research-grade ceramics and comparing their properties and performance to single crystal materials. Continued efforts involve investigation of composite materials for thermally-enhanced laser architectures and could lead to new applications. Our research and development efforts in this area have been both internally and externally funded.

 

  -  

Thermo-electric Materials and Devices:     We continue to develop the industry-leading Bi 2 Te 3 Micro-Alloyed Materials (MAM) for thermo-electric cooling applications. Enabled by the thermal performance and fine grain microstructure of MAM, our research and development has focused on achieving levels of miniaturization and watt density beyond the reach of TECs based on single crystal and polycrystalline materials produced by standard crystal growth techniques. In addition, we are developing capabilities in thermo-electric power generation materials that, combined with our intellectual property position, will allow us to bring to market new thermo-electric compounds that have been developed for NASA. Our research and development efforts in this area have been both internally and externally funded.

The development and manufacturing of our products and processes is largely based on proprietary technical know-how and expertise. We rely on a combination of contract provisions, trade secret laws, invention disclosures and patents to protect our proprietary rights. We have entered into selective intellectual property licensing agreements. When faced with potential infringement of our proprietary information, we have in the past and continue currently to assert and vigorously protect our intellectual property rights.

•   Silicon Carbide Substrates

   SiC

The ability to produce, process and refine these difficult materials and to control their quality and yields is an expertise of the Company. Processing these materials into finished products is also difficult to accomplish; yet the quality and reproducibility of these products are critical to the performance of our customers’ instruments and systems. In the markets we serve there are a limited number of suppliers of many of the components we manufacture, and there are very few industry-standard products.

Our network of worldwide manufacturing sites allows products to be produced in regions that provide cost-effective advantages and enable proximity to our customers. We employ numerous advanced manufacturing technologies and systems at our manufacturing facilities. These include automated Computer Numeric Control optical fabrication, high throughput thin-film coaters, micro precision metrology and custom-engineered automated furnace controls for the crystal growth processes. Manufacturing products for use across the electro-magnetic spectrum requires the capability to repeatedly produce products with high yields to atomic tolerances. We embody a technology and quality mindset that gives our customers the confidence to utilize our products on a just-in-time basis straight into the heart of their production lines.

Sources of Supply

The major raw materials we use include zinc, selenium, hydrogen selenide, hydrogen sulfide, tellurium, yttrium oxide, aluminum oxide, iridium, platinum, bismuth, silicon, thorium fluoride, antimony, carbon, gallium arsenide, copper, germanium, molybdenum, quartz, optical glass and other materials. Excluding our own production, there are more than two external suppliers for all of the above materials except for ZnSe, ZnS, hydrogen selenide and thorium fluoride, for which there is one proven source of supply outside of the Company’s capabilities. For many materials, we have entered into purchase arrangements whereby suppliers provide discounts for annual volume purchases in excess of specified amounts.

The continued high-quality of and access to these materials is critical to the stability and predictability of our manufacturing yields. We conduct testing of materials at the onset of the production process. Additional research and capital investment may be needed to better define future starting material specifications. We have not experienced significant production delays due to shortages of materials. However, we do occasionally experience problems associated with vendor supplied materials not meeting contract specifications for quality or purity. A significant failure of our suppliers to deliver sufficient quantities of necessary high-quality materials on a timely basis could have a materially adverse effect on the results of our operations.

We believe that we are an industry leader in laser material processing tools for high power one micron laser systems. We are a significant supplier of YAG rods and near-infrared laser optics to the worldwide markets for defense, scientific, research, medical and industrial applications. We are a leading supplier of infrared optics used in complex military assemblies for targeting, navigation and thermal imaging systems to major military prime contractors. We believe we are a leading supplier of selenium and tellurium products for electronic, agricultural and thermo-electric applications. We believe we are a global leader in the design and manufacturer of TECs and thermal control subsystems. We believe we are a preferred alternative to the leading supplier of single crystal SiC substrates for use in the defense, telecommunication and industrial markets.

 

12


We compete on the basis of product technical specifications, quality, delivery time, technical support and pricing. Management believes that we compete favorably with respect to these factors and that our vertical integration, manufacturing facilities and equipment, experienced technical and manufacturing employees and worldwide marketing and distribution provide competitive advantages.

We have a number of present and potential competitors that have greater financial, selling, marketing or technical resources. A competitor of our production of ZnSe and ZnS is Dow Chemical. Competitors producing infrared laser optics include Sumitomo Electric and Ophir Optronics. Competing producers of automated equipment and laser material processing tools to deliver high power one micron laser systems include Optoskand, Precitec and Laser Mechanisms. Competing producers of YAG materials and optics include Northrop Grumman and Saint-Gobain. Competing producers of infrared optics for military applications are DRS, Goodrich, Elcan and in-house fabrication and thin film coating capabilities of major military customers, such as Raytheon Corporation.

Competing producers of single crystal SiC substrates include Cree, Dow Corning, Nippon Steel, Bridgestone and SiCrystal.

In addition to competitors who manufacture products similar to those we produce, there are other technologies or materials that can compete with our products.

Bookings and Backlog

We define our bookings as customer orders received that are expected to be converted to revenues over the next twelve months. For long-term customer orders, the Company records only those orders which are expected to be converted into revenues within twelve months from the end of the reporting period due to the inherent uncertainty of an order that far in the future. For the year ended June 30, 2009, our bookings, including those bookings converted to revenues prior to year end, were approximately $261 million compared to bookings of approximately $345 million for the year ended June 30, 2008.

We define our backlog as bookings that have not been converted to revenues by the end of the reporting period. Bookings are adjusted if changes in customer demands or production schedules move a delivery beyond twelve months. As of June 30, 2009, our backlog was approximately $103 million compared to approximately $134 million at June 30, 2008.

Employees

As of June 30, 2009, we employed 1,913 persons worldwide. Of these employees, 299 were engaged in research, development and engineering, 1,208 in direct production and the balance in sales and marketing, administration, finance and support services. Our production staff includes highly skilled optical craftsmen. We have a long-standing practice of encouraging active employee participation in areas of operations management. We believe our relations with our employees to be good. We reward our employees with incentive compensation based on achievement of performance goals. Substantially all of our employees located in the Philippines are covered under a collective bargaining agreement.

Trade Secrets, Patents and Trademarks

We rely on our trade secrets, proprietary know-how, invention disclosures and patents to help us develop and maintain our competitive position. We have begun to aggressively pursue process and product patents in certain areas of our businesses. We have confidentiality and noncompetition agreements with certain personnel. We require that all U.S. employees sign a confidentiality and noncompetition agreement upon commencement of employment.

 

13


The processes and specialized equipment utilized in crystal growth, infrared materials fabrication and infrared optical coatings as developed by us are complex and difficult to duplicate. However, there can be no assurance that others will not develop or patent similar technology or that all aspects of our proprietary technology will be protected. Others have obtained patents covering a variety of infrared optical configurations and processes, and others could obtain patents covering technology similar to our technology. We may be required to obtain licenses under such patents, and there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain such licenses, if required, on commercially reasonable terms, or that claims regarding rights to technology will not be asserted which may adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, our research and development contracts with agencies of the U.S. Government present a risk that project-specific technology could be disclosed to competitors as contract reporting requirements are fulfilled.

We currently hold several registered tradenames and trademarks including the following:

II-VI Incorporated ( ) ” tradename

Infraready Optics ( ) ” tradename for replacement optics for industrial CO 2 lasers

MP-5 ( ) ” tradename for low absorption coating technology

“Marlow Industries, Inc. ( ) ” tradename

“Marlow Industries, Inc. ( ) ” trademark

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The Company cautions investors that its performance and, therefore, any forward-looking statement is subject to risks and uncertainties. Various important factors including, but not limited to, the following may cause the Company’s future results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statement.

General Economic Conditions and the Global Financial Crisis May Adversely Affect Our Business, Operating Results and Financial Condition

Current and future conditions in the economy have an inherent degree of uncertainty. As a result, it is difficult to estimate the level of growth or contraction for the economy as a whole. It is even more difficult to estimate growth or contraction in various parts, sectors and regions of the economy, including industrial, military, medical and telecommunication markets in which we participate. Because all components of our forecasting are dependent upon estimates of growth or contraction in the markets we serve and demand for our products, the prevailing economic uncertainties render estimates of future income and expenditures very difficult to make. Adverse changes have occurred and may continue in the future as a result of declining or flat global or regional economic conditions, fluctuations in currency and commodity prices, wavering confidence, capital expenditure reductions, unemployment, decline in stock markets, contraction of credit availability or other factors affecting economic conditions generally. These changes may negatively affect sales of products, increase exposure to losses from bad debt, increase the cost and availability of financing and increase costs associated with manufacturing and distributing products. A prolonged economic downturn could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Our Future Success Depends on International Sales and Management of Global Operations

Sales to customers in countries other than the U.S. accounted for approximately 44%, 47% and 43% of revenues during the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We anticipate that international sales will continue to account for a significant portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future. In addition, we manufacture products in Singapore, China, Vietnam, the Philippines and Germany and maintain direct sales offices in Germany, Japan, Switzerland, the U.K., Belgium, Singapore, China and Italy. Sales and operations outside of the U.S. are subject to certain inherent risks, including fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies, the current global economic downturn, tariffs, quotas, taxes and other market barriers, political and economic instability, restrictions on the export or import of technology, potentially limited

 

14


intellectual property protection, difficulties in staffing and managing international operations and potentially adverse tax consequences. There can be no assurance that any of these factors will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. In particular, currency exchange fluctuations in countries where we do business in the local currency could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations or financial condition by rendering us less price-competitive than foreign manufacturers. Our sales in Japan are denominated in Yen and, accordingly, are affected by fluctuations in the dollar/Yen currency exchange rates. We generally reduce our exposure to such fluctuations of the Yen through forward exchange agreements which target to hedge approximately 75% of our sales in Japan. We do not engage in the speculative trading of financial derivatives. There can be no assurance, however, that our practices will reduce or eliminate the risk of fluctuation of the U.S. dollar/Japanese Yen exchange rate.

There Are Limitations on the Protection of Our Intellectual Property

We rely on a combination of trade secrets, patents, copyright and trademark laws combined with employee noncompetition and nondisclosure agreements to protect our intellectual property rights. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by us will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology or intellectual property. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that, third-parties will not assert infringement claims against us in the future. Asserting our intellectual property rights or defending against third-party claims could involve substantial expense, thus materially and adversely affecting our business, results of operations or financial condition. In the event a third-party were successful in a claim that one of our processes infringed its proprietary rights, we may have to pay substantial damages or royalties, or expend substantial amounts in order to obtain a license or modify processes so that they no longer infringe such proprietary rights, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We Depend on Highly Complex Manufacturing Processes Which Require Products from Limited Sources of Supply

We utilize high-quality, optical grade ZnSe in the production of many of our infrared optical products. We are the leading producer of ZnSe for our internal use and for external sale. The production of ZnSe is a complex process requiring a highly controlled environment. A number of factors, including defective or contaminated materials, could adversely affect our ability to achieve acceptable manufacturing yields of high quality ZnSe. ZnSe is available from only one outside source whose quantities and quality of ZnSe may be limited. Lack of adequate availability of high quality ZnSe would have a material adverse effect upon us. There can be no assurance that we will not experience manufacturing yield inefficiencies which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We produce Hydrogen Selenide gas which is used in our production of ZnSe. There are risks inherent in the production and handling of such material. Our inability to effectively handle Hydrogen Selenide could require us to curtail our production of Hydrogen Selenide. Hydrogen Selenide is available from only one outside source whose quantities and quality may be limited. The cost of purchasing such material is greater than the cost of internal production. As a result, the purchase of a substantial portion of such material from the outside source would increase our ZnSe production costs. Therefore, an inability to internally produce Hydrogen Selenide could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

In addition, we produce and utilize other high purity and relatively uncommon materials and compounds to manufacture our products, including but not limited to ZnS, YAG, YLF, CaF 2 , KNS, Ge, Se, Te, Bi 2 Te 3 and SiC. A significant failure of our internal production processes or our suppliers to deliver sufficient quantities of these necessary materials on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

15


Commodity Prices May Adversely Affect our Results of Operations and Financial Condition

We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in commodity prices. Our PRM business purchases, produces and sells high purity Te, Se and other raw materials based upon quoted market prices from major metal exchanges. As a result, changes in commodity prices which may not be recovered in our product sales may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We May Expand Product Lines and Markets by Acquiring Other Businesses

Our business strategy includes expanding our product lines and markets through internal product development and acquisitions. Any acquisition may result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities and amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. In addition, acquired businesses may be experiencing operating losses. Any acquisition will involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of the acquired company’s operations and products, uncertainties associated with operating in new markets and working with new customers and the potential loss of the acquired company’s key personnel.

The following information relates to significant acquisitions made since the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000.

Exposure to Government Markets

With our acquisition of Marlow and the increase in the military portion of our Infrared and Near-Infrared Optics businesses, as well as our continued Military Infrared Optics business, sales to customers in the defense industry have increased and totaled approximately 35% of revenues in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. These customers in turn generally contract with a governmental entity, typically a U.S. governmental agency. Most governmental programs are subject to funding approval and can be modified or terminated with no warning upon the determination of a legislative or administrative body. The loss or failure to obtain certain contracts or the loss of a major government customer could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Some Systems Are Complex in Design and May Contain Defects that Are Not Detected Until Deployed Which Could Increase Our Costs and Reduce Our Revenues

Some systems that utilize our products are inherently complex in design and require ongoing maintenance. As a result of the technical complexity of our products, changes in our or our suppliers’ manufacturing processes or in the use of defective or contaminated materials by us or our suppliers could result in a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve acceptable manufacturing yields and product reliability. To the extent that we do not achieve acceptable yields or product reliability, our business, results of operation financial condition or customer relationships could be materially adversely affected.

Our customers may discover defects in our products after the products have been fully deployed and operated under peak stress conditions. In addition, some of our products are combined with products from other vendors, which may contain defects. Should problems occur, it may be difficult to identify the source of the problem. If we are unable to fix defects or other problems, we could experience, among other things: loss of customers; increased costs of product returns and warranty expenses; damage to our brand reputation; failure to attract new customers or achieve market acceptance; diversion of development and engineering resources; or legal action by our customers. The occurrence of any one or more of the foregoing factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We May Encounter Substantial Competition

We may encounter substantial competition from other companies in the same market, including established companies with significant resources. Some of our competitors may have financial, technical, marketing or other capabilities more extensive than ours and may be able to respond more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and other competitive pressures. We may not be able to compete successfully against our present or future competitors, and competition may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

The Market Price of Our Common Stock Can Be Highly Volatile as the Stock Market in General Can Be Highly Volatile

Factors that could cause fluctuation in the stock price may include, among other things, general economic and market conditions; actual or anticipated variations in operating results; changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; our inability to meet or exceed securities analysts’ estimates or expectations; conditions or trends in the industries in which our products are purchased; announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, divestitures, joint ventures or other strategic initiatives; capital commitments; additions or departures of key personnel; and sales of common stock.

Many of these factors are beyond our control. These factors may cause the market price of our common stock to decline, regardless of our operating performance.

Our Success Depends on Our Ability to Retain Key Personnel

We are highly dependent upon the experience and continuing services of certain scientists, engineers, production and management personnel. Competition for the services of these personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain or attract the personnel necessary for our success. The loss of the services of our key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

A Significant Portion of Our Business is Dependent on Other Cyclical Industries

Our business is significantly dependent on the demand for products produced by end-users of industrial lasers. Many of these end-users are in industries that historically have experienced a highly cyclical demand for

 

17


their products. As a result, demand for our products is subject to cyclical fluctuations. This cyclical demand could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Our Success Depends on New Products and Processes

In order to meet our strategic objectives, we must continue to develop, manufacture and market new products, develop new processes and improve existing processes. As a result, we expect to continue to make significant investments in research and development and to continue to consider from time to time the strategic acquisition of businesses, products or technologies complementary to our business. Our success in developing, introducing and selling new and enhanced products depends upon a variety of factors including product selection, timely and efficient completion of product design and development, timely and efficient implementation of manufacturing and assembly processes, effective sales and marketing and product performance in the field. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop and introduce new products or enhancements to our existing products and processes in a manner which satisfies customer needs or achieves market acceptance. The failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our ability to grow our business.

Keeping Pace with Key Industry Developments is Essential

We are engaged in industries which will be affected by future developments. The introduction of products or processes utilizing new developments could render existing products or processes obsolete or unmarketable. Our continued success will depend upon our ability to develop and introduce on a timely and cost-effective basis new products, processes and applications that keep pace with developments and address increasingly sophisticated customer requirements. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying, developing and marketing new products, applications and processes and that we will not experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction and marketing of product or process enhancements or new products, applications or processes, or that our products, applications or processes will adequately meet the requirements of the marketplace and achieve market acceptance. Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected if we were to incur delays in developing new products, applications or processes or if we do not gain market acceptance for the same.

Changes in Tax Rates, Tax Liabilities or Tax Accounting Rules Could Affect Future Results

As a global company, we are subject to taxation in the United States and various other countries and jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required to determine worldwide tax liabilities. Our future tax rates could be affected by changes in the composition of earnings in countries with differing tax rates or changes in tax laws. Changes in tax laws or tax rulings may have a significantly adverse impact on our effective tax rate. For example, proposals for fundamental U.S. international tax reform, such as the recent proposal by President Obama’s administration, if enacted, could have a significant adverse impact on our effective tax rate. In addition, we are subject to regular examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of favorable or unfavorable outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, there can be no assurance that any final determination will not be materially different than the treatment reflected in our historical income tax provision and accruals, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operation or financial condition.

Declines in the Operating Performance of one of Our Business Segments Could Result in an Impairment of the Segment’s Goodwill

As of June 30, 2009 we had goodwill of approximately $26.1 million on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. We test our goodwill on an annual basis or when an indication of possible impairment exists in order to determine whether the carrying value of our assets is still supported by the fair value of the underlying business. To the extent that it is not, we are required to record an impairment charge to reduce the asset to fair value. A

 

18


decline in the operating performance of any of our business segments could result in a goodwill impairment charge which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws May Limit the Price that Investors May be Willing to Pay in the Future for Shares of Our Common Stock

Our articles of incorporation and by-laws contain provisions which could make us a less attractive target for a hostile takeover or make more difficult or discourage a merger proposal, a tender offer or a proxy contest. The provisions include: classification of the board of directors into three classes; a procedure which requires shareholders or the board of directors to nominate directors in advance of a meeting to elect such directors; the ability of the board of directors to issue additional shares of Common Stock or preferred stock without shareholder approval; and certain provisions requiring supermajority approval (at least two-thirds of the votes cast by all shareholders entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class). In addition, the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law contains provisions which may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in our control. All of these provisions may limit the price that investors may be willing to pay for shares of our Common Stock.

We Are Subject to Stringent Environmental Regulation

We use or generate certain hazardous substances in our research and manufacturing facilities. We believe that our handling of such substances is in material compliance with applicable local, state and federal environmental, safety and health regulations at each operating location. We invest substantially in proper protective equipment, process controls and specialized training to minimize risks to employees, surrounding communities and the environment resulting from the presence and handling of such hazardous substances. We regularly conduct employee physical examinations and workplace monitoring regarding such substances. When exposure problems or potential exposure problems have been uncovered, corrective actions have been implemented and re-occurrence has been minimal or non-existent. We do not carry environmental impairment insurance.

Relative to the generation and use of the hazardous substance Hydrogen Selenide, we have in place an emergency response plan. Special attention has been given to all procedures pertaining to this gaseous material to minimize the chances of its accidental release into the atmosphere.

With respect to the manufacturing, use, storage and disposal of the low-level radioactive material Thorium Fluoride, our facilities and procedures have been inspected and licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Thorium-bearing by-products are collected and shipped as solid waste to a government-approved low-level radioactive waste disposal site in Clive, Utah.

The generation, use, collection, storage and disposal of all other hazardous by-products, such as suspended solids containing heavy metals or airborne particulates, are believed by us to be in material compliance with regulations. We believe that all of the permits and licenses required for operation of our business are in place.

Although we do not know of any material environmental, safety or health problems in our properties or processes, there can be no assurance that problems will not develop in the future which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Natural Disasters or Other Global or Regional Catastrophic Events Could Disrupt Our Operations and Adversely Affect Results

Despite our concerted effort to minimize risk to our production capabilities and corporate information systems and to reduce the effect of unforeseen interruptions to us through business continuity planning, we still may be exposed to interruptions due to catastrophe, natural disaster, pandemic, terrorism or acts of war, which

 

19


are beyond our control. Disruptions to our facilities or systems, or to those of our key suppliers, could also interrupt operational processes and adversely impact our ability to manufacture our products and provide services and support to our customers. As a result, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements where the FASB previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attributes.

SFAS No. 157 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 157 on July 1, 2008 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an Amendment of SFAS No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to measure eligible financial assets, financial liabilities and firm commitments at fair value, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, that are otherwise not permitted to be accounted for at fair value under other accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 on July 1, 2008 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”), which amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest (minority interest) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Upon its adoption, effective as of the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year 2010, noncontrolling interests will be classified as equity in the Company’s financial statements and income and comprehensive income attributed to the noncontrolling interest will be included in the Company’s income and comprehensive income. The provisions of SFAS No. 160 must be applied retrospectively upon adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 160.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). SFAS No. 141(R) established principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The provisions of SFAS No. 141(R) are effective for the Company’s business combinations occurring on or after July 1, 2009.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”), which required enhanced disclosures on the effect of derivatives on a company’s financial statements. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 did not have a material effect on the Company’s disclosures.

 

20


In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS No. 165”). SFAS No. 165 establishes general standards of accounting and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS No. 165 requires disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosures.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS No. 168”). The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of SFAS No. 168, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. SFAS No. 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company will comply with the requirements of the Statement beginning in the first fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2009.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are also identified by words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” or similar expressions. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including risk factors described in the Risk Factors set forth in this Item 1A, which are incorporated herein by reference.

OVERVIEW

The Company generates revenues, earnings and cash flows from developing, manufacturing and marketing high technology materials and derivative products for precision use in industrial, medical, military and aerospace applications. We also generate revenue, earnings and cash flows from external customers and government funded research and development contracts relating to the development and manufacture of new technologies, materials and products.

Our customer base includes OEMs, laser end users, system integrators of high-power lasers, manufacturers of equipment and devices for the industrial, military and medical markets, and U.S. government prime contractors, various U.S. government agencies and thermo-electric integrators.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations requires the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Note A of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies and accounting methods used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Management believes the Company’s critical accounting estimates are those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranty reserves, inventory valuation, valuation of long-lived assets including acquired intangibles and goodwill, accrual of bonus and profit sharing estimates, accrual of income tax liability estimates, accounting for share-based compensation and self-insurance for workers’ compensation. Management believes these estimates to be critical because they are both important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and they require management to make judgments and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee has reviewed the foregoing disclosure. In addition, there are other items within our financial statements that require estimation, but are not deemed critical as defined above. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on the financial statements.

The Company recognizes revenues when the criteria of SAB 104 (as defined below) are met. Revenues for product shipments are realizable when we have persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement, the product has been shipped or delivered, the sale price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Title and risk of loss passes from the Company to its customer at the time of shipment in most cases with the

 

27


exception of certain customers. For these customers, which represent less than 5% of our consolidated revenues, title does not pass and revenue is not recognized until the customer has received the product at its physical location.

We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts and warranty reserves based on historical experience and believe the collection of revenues, net of these reserves, is reasonably assured. Our allowance for doubtful accounts and warranty reserve balances at June 30, 2009 was approximately $1.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Our reserve estimates have historically been proven to be materially correct based upon actual charges incurred.

The Company’s revenue recognition policy is consistently applied across the Company’s segments, product lines and geographical locations. Further, we do not have post shipment obligations such as training or installation, customer acceptance provisions, credits and discounts, rebates and price protection or other similar privileges. Our distributors and agents are not granted price protection. Our distributors and agents, who comprise less than 10% of consolidated revenue, have no additional product return rights beyond the right to return defective products that are covered by our warranty policy. We believe our revenue recognition practices are consistent with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin: No. 104 – Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (“SAB No. 104”) and that we have adequately considered the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 48 “Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists” (“SFAS No. 48”).

Revenues generated from transactions other than product shipments are contract related and have historically accounted for approximately 5% or less of the Company’s consolidated revenues. For this portion of revenues, the Company follows the guidelines of Statement of Position 81-1 “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts” for these contracts, which are related to research and development.

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience and believes the collection of revenues, net of these reserves, is reasonably assured. The allowance for doubtful accounts is an estimate for potential non-collection of accounts receivable based on historical experience. The Company has not experienced a non-collection of accounts receivable materially affecting its financial position or results of operations as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate causing an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional provisions for bad debts may be required in future periods.

The Company records a warranty reserve as a charge against earnings based on a historical percentage of revenues utilizing actual returns over a period that approximates historical warranty experience. If actual returns in the future are not consistent with the historical data used to calculate these estimates, additional warranty reserves could be required.

The Company records a slow moving inventory reserve as a charge against earnings for all products on hand for more than twelve months to eighteen months depending on the products that have not been sold to customers or cannot be further manufactured for sale to alternative customers. An additional reserve is recorded for product on hand that is in excess of product sold to customers over the same periods noted above. If actual market conditions are less favorable than projected, additional inventory reserves may be required.

The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets on an annual basis for impairment or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. Other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The determination of the estimated useful lives of other intangible assets and whether goodwill or indefinite-lived intangibles are impaired involves judgments based upon long-term projections of future performance. Estimates of fair value are based on our projection of revenues, operating costs and cash flows of each reporting unit considering historical and anticipated results, general economic and market conditions. The fair values of the reporting units are determined using a discounted cash flow analysis

 

28


based on historical and projected financial information. The carrying value of goodwill at June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $26.1 million and $26.5 million, respectively. The annual goodwill impairment analysis considers the financial projections of the reporting unit based on the most recently completed budgeting and long-term strategic planning processes and also considers the current financial performance compared to the prior projections of the reporting unit. Changes in our financial performance, judgments and projections could result in an impairment of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets.

As a result of the purchase price allocations from our prior acquisitions and due to our decentralized structure, our goodwill is included in multiple reporting units. Due to the cyclical nature of our business, and the other factors described under “Risk Factors” herein, the profitability of our individual reporting units may periodically suffer from downturns in customer demand, operational challenges and other factors. These factors may have a relatively more pronounced impact on the individual reporting units as compared to the Company as a whole, and might adversely affect the fair value of the reporting units. If material adverse conditions occur that impact one or more of our reporting units, our determination of future fair value may not support the carrying amount of one or more of our reporting units, and the related goodwill would need to be written down.

The Company records certain bonus and profit sharing estimates as a charge against earnings. These estimates are adjusted to actual based on final results of operations achieved during the fiscal year. Certain partial bonus amounts are paid quarterly based on interim Company performance, and the remainder is paid after fiscal year end and final determination of the applicable percentage. Other bonuses are paid annually.

The Company prepares and files tax returns based on its interpretation of tax laws and regulations and records estimates based on these judgments and interpretations. In the normal course of business, the Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by various taxing authorities, which may result in future tax, interest, and penalty assessments by these authorities. Inherent uncertainties exist in estimates of many tax positions due to changes in tax law resulting from legislation, regulation and/or as concluded through the various jurisdictions’ tax court systems. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted for changes in facts and circumstances. For example, adjustments could result from significant amendments to existing tax law and the issuance of regulations or interpretations by the taxing authorities, new information obtained during a tax examination, or resolution of an examination. The Company believes that its estimates for uncertain tax positions are appropriate and sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examinations of its tax returns. The Company recognizes both accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

The Company has recorded valuation allowances against certain of its deferred tax assets, primarily those that have been generated from net operating losses in certain taxing jurisdictions. In evaluating whether the Company would more likely than not recover these deferred tax assets, it has not assumed any future taxable income or tax planning strategies in the jurisdictions associated with these carry-forwards where history does not support such an assumption. Implementation of tax planning strategies to recover these deferred tax assets or future income generation in these jurisdictions could lead to the reversal of these valuation allowances and a reduction of income tax expense.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payment,” effective July 1, 2005 (“SFAS No. 123(R)”). SFAS No. 123(R) requires the recognition of the fair value of share-based compensation in earnings. The Company elected the modified retrospective transition method for adopting SFAS No.123(R). Under this method, all prior period financial statements were restated effective July 1, 2005 to recognize share-based compensation cost in the amounts previously reported in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company recognizes the share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period. Prior to July 1, 2005, the Company followed

 

29


Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations in accounting for its share-based compensation.

The Company is self-insured for certain losses related to workers’ compensation for its U.S. employees. Additionally, third-party insurance is obtained to limit our exposure to these claims in excess of $0.4 million per occurrence and $1.0 million in the aggregate per policy year. When estimating its self-insurance liability, the Company considers a number of factors, including historical claims experience, demographic and severity factors and valuations provided by independent third party consultants. Periodically, management reviews its assumptions and the valuations to determine the adequacy of its self-insurance liability.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Fiscal year 2009 was a challenging year for the Company. The majority of the markets we serve, including the worldwide industrial material processing markets, were severely impacted by the global economic downturn. The Company reacted to this challenge by initiating plans to reduce its operating cost structure and capital spending programs and repositioning its working capital requirements to be in a position to react when economic recovery occurs.

BOOKINGS     Bookings from continuing operations decreased 24% to $261.1 million in fiscal year 2009 compared to $345.3 million in fiscal year 2008. The majority of the Company’s business segments realized lower bookings in fiscal year 2009 compared to fiscal year 2008. The Company’s business segments were negatively impacted by the overall challenging macro-economic environment that began during the Company’s fiscal year 2009. The major factors that contributed to this overall decline in bookings include:

 

   

The Infrared Optics segment recorded a decrease in bookings of $20.5 million or 26% in the current year compared to last fiscal year due to a downturn in the industrial markets brought on by the worldwide economic recession.

   

The Near-Infrared Optics segment, as previously announced, has continued to ramp down its UV Filter product line as a result of reduced demand from its military customer. UV Filter bookings declined $21.6 million or 76% from its order rate for this product line in fiscal year 2008.

   

PRM in the Company’s Military & Materials segment recognized a decrease in bookings of $4.0 million or 64% due to market price volatility for its two main raw materials, Selenium and Tellurium which impacted the product requirements.

Somewhat buffering the overall decrease in the Company’s bookings during fiscal year 2009 was the increase in military and defense orders at the majority of the Company’s segments as its military product offerings are being introduced into more key military programs.

 

30


The Company’s order backlog at June 30, 2009 of $103 million decreased 23% during the current fiscal year compared to the same period last fiscal year as a result of the general economic slowdown, whereby the Company experienced significant slowdown in its order run rate.

REVENUES     Revenues from continuing operations decreased 8% to $292.2 million in fiscal year 2009 compared to $316.2 million in fiscal year 2008. The primary reasons for the revenue decrease was a lower volume of shipments from the Infrared Optics segment resulting from a lowering demand from the segments industrial based customers as a result of the deterioration of the worldwide economy. In addition, the Company’s Near-Infrared Optic’s UV Filter product line recognized approximately $10 million less revenue in the current fiscal year compared to the same period last year as this product line continues to ramp down. The overall decrease in revenues was partially offset by increased revenue volumes at the Company’s Exotic Electro-Optics (“EEO”) and Marlow operations relating to increased shipment volume of military and defense related product offerings.

NET EARNINGS     Net earnings from continuing operations decreased 41% in fiscal year 2009 to $38.9 million ($1.29 per share-diluted) from $65.7 million ($2.16 per share-diluted) in fiscal year 2008. During fiscal year 2008 the Company sold its equity investment in 5NPlus, Inc. for $30.2 million in cash, on which it recorded an after-tax gain of $15.9 million ($0.52 per share-diluted). In addition to the gain on 5NPlus, Inc. in fiscal year 2008, the decrease in earnings was primarily due to less incremental margin recognized on the lower volume of revenues. The Company also incurred $1.0 million more in share-based compensation expense in the current fiscal year compared to the same period last year. Offsetting the net earnings in fiscal year 2009 was the lower effective income tax rate resulting from the Company recording a favorable income tax benefit of approximately $4.7 million in accordance with FIN 48 relating to the reversal of unrecognized tax benefits from the completion of an Internal Revenue Service examination of certain of the Company’s Federal income tax returns.

OUTLOOK     The Company is anticipating that fiscal year 2010 will be another challenging year. We anticipate the world’s economies will continue to be sluggish with only modest growth in the industrial markets serviced by our operating segments. The Company is planning for a further reduction in demand for its UV Filter product line, which is a component of the Near-Infrared Optics segment, with revenues expected to decrease in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010 by approximately $10 million from the revenues for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009.

SEGMENTS     Bookings, revenues and segment earnings for the Company’s reportable segments are discussed below. Segment earnings differ from income from operations in that segment earnings excludes certain operational expenses included in other expense – net as reported. Management believes segment earnings to be a useful measure as it reflects the results of segment performance over which management has direct control and is used by management in its evaluation of segment performance.

Bookings for fiscal year 2009 for Infrared Optics decreased 26% to $119.3 million from $161.7 million in fiscal year 2008. The decrease in bookings for fiscal year 2009 compared to the same period last fiscal year was due to the weakness in the worldwide industrial markets as a result of the worldwide economic recession. Based on data received from our customers we believe that laser system utilization within these markets has decreased approximately 50% from the prior year, which in turn has lowered demand for the segment’s replacement optics. In addition, bookings from high power laser OEMs in Japan and Europe have decreased significantly as these customers continue to consume their existing inventory and face lower product demand due to decreased laser utilization rates and less new laser manufacturing. The segment anticipates that the reduced bookings rate will continue for the near-term as OEMs and aftermarket customers continue their cautious buying habits as a result of the worldwide economic environment. The Company is anticipating an improvement in its business environment to occur sometime in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010 due to signs of growth from China and the positive impact that the world government’s economic stimulus plans should have on the industrial markets. Offsetting somewhat the significant decrease in bookings in the current year has been an increase in bookings from the segment’s military and ZnSe and ZnS materials customers, which has experienced a 40% increase in orders compared to the prior fiscal year.

Revenues for fiscal year 2009 for Infrared Optics decreased 14% to $130.9 million from $151.9 million in fiscal year 2008. The decrease in revenues for the current fiscal year compared to the same period last fiscal year was due to lower shipment volume to OEMs and aftermarket customers worldwide. This lower shipment volume began during the Company’s current second fiscal quarter and is the direct result of the general deterioration of the industrial markets brought on by the global macroeconomic environment.

Segment earnings for fiscal year 2009 for Infrared Optics decreased 23% to $28.0 million from $36.2 million in fiscal year 2008. The decrease in segment earnings in the current fiscal year compared to the same period last year was primarily due to the reduction of margin realized on the segment’s lower shipment volume. In addition, the segment has recorded approximately $1.0 million more of share-based compensation expense during the current fiscal year compared to the same period last fiscal year. The segment is continuing to reduce its operating cost structure to align it with lower product demands.

Bookings for fiscal year 2009 for Near-Infrared Optics decreased 43% to $37.8 million from $65.9 million in fiscal year 2008. The decrease in bookings for fiscal 2009 compared to the same period last fiscal year was due primarily to the anticipated reduction in the order rates of the segment’s UV Filter product line, which experienced a $21.6 million reduction in orders compared to the prior fiscal year. In addition to the decrease for the UV Filter product line, the segment also experienced a decrease in orders from its industrial and medical customers in the current year as demand for these product lines was negatively impacted by the current economic downturn. Somewhat offsetting the overall bookings decline during the current year was an increase in military orders. The segment is anticipating seeing its non-UV Filter military orders continue to expand in fiscal year 2010 while orders for the UV Filter product line are expected to decrease as this program continues to ramp down.

fiscal year was primarily due to the anticipated reduction in the shipment rates of the UV Filter product line. The revenue decrease was somewhat offset by increased non-UV Filter military product shipments during the current fiscal year. The segment is anticipating that its non-UV military business will remain strong in fiscal year 2010, which will help offset a sluggish demand from the industrial and medical customer base as a result of the current macro-economic environment.

Segment earnings for fiscal year 2009 for Near-Infrared Optics decreased 40% to $7.1 million from $11.9 million in fiscal year 2008. The deterioration in segment earnings in the current fiscal year compared to the same period last fiscal year was the result of a reduction in margin realized on less revenues from its UV Filter, industrial and medical product lines. In addition, segment earnings were also negatively impacted by a $0.8 million write-off of certain equipment of its UV Filter product line due to reduction in certain product demands.

The Company’s Military & Materials segment includes the combined operations of EEO and PRM.

Bookings for fiscal year 2009 for Military & Materials decreased 19% to $50.0 million from $61.9 million in fiscal year 2008. The decrease in bookings for fiscal 2009 compared to the same period last fiscal year was the result of lower booking levels at the segment’s PRM operation. During the current fiscal year, the market price of selenium and tellurium, two significant raw materials the Company refines and sells, experienced lower volatility as a result of lower industrial demand for these two materials which are used in the manufacture of steel, glass and automobiles. The lower booking level at PRM was partially offset by increased military bookings at EEO in the current fiscal year compared to the same period last year as a result of increased military orders for the Company’s sapphire and core military product lines. During the current fiscal year, EEO’s bookings increased 27% compared to the prior year, driven by increased orders of Advanced Targeting Pod (“ATP”) Sniper Shrouds and sapphire windows for the Joint Strike Fighter (“JSF”) Electro Optical Targeting System program.

Revenues for fiscal year 2009 for Military & Materials increased 13% to $57.0 million compared to $50.5 million in fiscal year 2008. The increase in revenues in the current fiscal year compared to the same period last year was primarily due to increased military shipments of EEO’s sapphire and core military product lines.

Segment earnings for fiscal year 2009 for Military & Materials decreased 8% to $6.5 million from $7.1 million in fiscal year 2008. The decrease in segment earnings in the current fiscal year despite an increase in revenues was primarily due to a decline in the current year of market pricing of selenium and tellurium resulting in a lower of cost or market write-down of inventories of approximately $1.5 million. The decrease in segment earnings was somewhat offset by earnings improvements at EEO resulting from incremental margin realized on the increased sales volume in the current fiscal year as well as continued improved operational performance.

The Compound Semiconductor Group includes the combined operations of Marlow, the Wide Bandgap Group (“WBG”) and the Worldwide Materials Group (“WMG”).

Bookings for fiscal year 2009 from the Compound Semiconductor Group decreased 3% to $54.1 million from $55.8 million in fiscal year 2008. The decrease in bookings in the current fiscal year compared to the same period last fiscal year was primarily due to a one-time large booking from an industrial customer of Marlow which was received during the prior fiscal year. The decrease in bookings was partially offset by a receipt of a $5.2 million U.S. Department of Defense research and development contract booking during fiscal year 2009 at WBG focusing on SiC material growth.

Revenues for fiscal year 2009 from the Compound Semiconductor Group increased 7% to $58.7 million compared to $55.1 million in fiscal year 2008. The increase in revenues in the current fiscal year compared to last fiscal year was due to increased shipment volume at Marlow to its customers in the defense and medical industries.

Segment earnings for fiscal year 2009 for the Compound Semiconductor Group decreased 5% to $6.2 million from $6.5 million in fiscal year 2008. The decrease in segment earnings during the current fiscal year compared to the same period last fiscal year was due primarily to reduced external contract revenue in the current year at WBG. In addition, WMG, which assists the Company’s research and development efforts, increased its developmental efforts on certain material-based research projects, thereby incurring more expense than in the prior year.

Costs and Expenses

Manufacturing gross margin, which is defined as net domestic and international revenue less cost of goods sold, for fiscal year 2009 was $113.1 million or 40% of revenues compared to $127.4 million or 42% of revenues in fiscal year 2008. The decrease in manufacturing gross margin for fiscal 2009 compared to the same period last year was due to several factors including lower margin on reduced revenues, primarily in the Infrared Optics and Near-Infrared Optics business segments which realized 14% and 22% less revenue, respectively, during the current fiscal year compared to last fiscal year. PRM experienced lower manufacturing gross margin due to write-downs of their selenium and tellurium raw material inventory to lower of cost or market based upon the general decline in the market price of these commodities. In addition, Near-Infrared Optics wrote-off approximately $0.8 million of certain equipment of its UV Filter product line due to continued reduction in product demand.

Contract research and development gross margin, which is calculated as contract research and development revenues less contract research and development expense, for fiscal year 2009 was $3.0 million or 28% of revenues compared to a contract gross margin of $2.8 million or 23% of revenues for fiscal year 2008. The improvement in contact gross margin during the current fiscal year compared to the same period last year was due to several factors including the mix of contracts to higher margin contracts as well as favorable contract cost rate adjustments initiated during the second half of fiscal year 2009. The contract research and development revenues and costs are a result of research and development efforts in the Near-Infrared Optics, Military & Materials and the Compound Semiconductor Group segments and is a blend of cost plus fixed fee, cost reimbursement and fixed fee contract activities.

 

34


Company-funded internal research and development expenses for fiscal year 2009 were $10.2 million or 3% of total revenues compared to $7.7 million or 2% of total revenues for fiscal year 2008. The increase in internal research and development expense during fiscal year 2009 compared to the same period last fiscal year was due to increased internal research and development activities at the Company’s Infrared Optics, Military & Materials and Compound Semiconductor Group segments. These operations have been focusing their internal development on improving material yields and quality process controls as well as new product and technology development.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year 2009 were $58.1 million or 20% of revenues compared to $60.8 million or 19% of revenues for the same period last fiscal year. The decrease in the dollar amount of selling general and administration expense for the current fiscal year compared to the same period last fiscal year was due to certain costs reductions initiated by the Company to align its cost structure with the decreased revenue levels brought on by the current economic environment.

Interest expense for fiscal year 2009 was $0.2 million and was comparable to fiscal year 2008. The low level of interest expense is the result of the Company having relatively low levels of debt outstanding for the fiscal years 2009 and 2008.

Other expense for fiscal 2009 was $1.4 million compared to other income of $2.7 million for fiscal year 2008. Other expense for fiscal 2009 consisted of foreign currency losses of $2.7 million due to the unfavorable movement of the U.S. dollar relative to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries’ functional currencies including the Euro, Japanese Yen and the British Pound. The foreign currency losses during the current fiscal year was partially offset against equity earnings from the Company minority interest in Fuxin Electronic Technology of $1.0 million and interest income of $0.7 million on excess cash reserves. Other income for the fiscal year 2008 primarily consisted of foreign currency gains realized of $1.1 million as well as interest income of $1.4 million from excess cash reserves.

During the fiscal year 2008, the Company sold its equity investment in 5NPlus for $30.2 million in cash on which it recorded a pre-tax gain of $26.5 million.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for fiscal year 2009 was 16.0% compared to an effective income tax rate of 27.5% for fiscal year 2008. The lower income tax rate in the current fiscal year is the result of the Company recording a favorable income tax benefit of approximately $4.7 million in accordance with FIN 48 relating to the reversal of unrecognized tax benefits resulting from the completion of the Internal Revenue Service’s examination of certain of the Company’s federal income tax returns. In addition, the Company reduced income tax expense by reversing $1.1 million of a deferred income tax valuation allowance related to foreign tax credit carry forwards as a result of an identified tax planning strategy. These benefits were partially offset by increased income tax expense of $0.9 million at certain of the Company’s foreign locations. The higher effective income tax rate for the prior year was primarily due to the U.S. income taxes on the gain from the sale of the equity investment.

Discontinued Operation

In June 2009, the Company sold its x-ray and gamma-ray radiation business, eV PRODUCTS, Inc. for approximately $5.2 million in cash. The Company recognized a $2.0 million loss on the sale net of a $1.2 million income tax benefit. Included in the loss are transaction costs of approximately $1.2 million. Results for this business for the year ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were revenues of $8.8 million and $7.2 million, respectively, and loss before income taxes of $3.3 million including a pre-tax loss on disposal of $3.2 million for June 30, 2009 compared to a loss before income taxes of $2.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2008.

REVENUES     Revenues from continuing operations increased 24% to $316.2 million in fiscal 2008 compared to $254.7 million in fiscal 2007. Revenue increased in fiscal year 2008 over fiscal year 2007 in all of the Company’s operating units in correlation with the strong bookings performance in fiscal year 2008. The Company’s Marlow operating unit contributed to this increase, with revenue increases of 22% in fiscal year 2008 over fiscal year 2007 driven by growing worldwide product acceptance. The Company also benefited in fiscal year 2008 from strong product demand in the Company’s Infrared Optics segment as the result of increased market share in peripheral and beam-steering optics for via-hole drilling of microelectronics for handheld consumer electronics. Revenues for the Company’s, PRM and HIGHYAG acquisition, were approximately $25 million in fiscal 2008.

 

36


NET EARNINGS     Net earnings for continuing operations increased 71% in fiscal 2008 to $65.7 million ($2.16 per share-diluted) from $38.4 million ($1.27 per share-diluted) in fiscal 2007. During fiscal 2008, the Company sold its equity interest in a Canadian company, 5NPlus, Inc., for $30.2 million in cash on which it recorded an after-tax gain of $15.9 million or $0.52 per share-diluted. In addition to the gain on the sale of 5NPlus, the increase in net earnings were attributable to other factors including increased margins recognized on higher revenues recorded across the Company’s operating segments, improved operational improvements in the Military & Materials segment relating to higher production yields and lower scrap expense, increased utilization of the Company’s Vietnam manufacturing base which operates at a reduced cost structure and lower interest expense relating to the Company’s lower borrowing base. The acquisition of PRM also favorably impacted net earnings during fiscal 2008.

Segment earnings for fiscal 2008 increased 180% to $7.1 million from $2.5 million in fiscal 2007. The improvement in segment earnings for fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007 was primarily driven by continued operational improvements at EEO resulting in increased manufacturing yields, lower scrap and rework costs and a product mix focusing on higher margin products. In addition, segment earnings for fiscal year 2008 were favorably impacted by the earnings of PRM.

The Compound Semiconductor Group includes the combined operations of Marlow, WBG and the WMG.

Bookings for fiscal 2008 from these operations increased 7% to $55.8 million as compared to $52.2 million in fiscal 2007. The increase in bookings in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007 was primarily due to Marlow which recorded a 22% increase in bookings over fiscal 2007 amounts. This increase was primarily attributed to increased product demands from industrial customers due to Marlow’s competitive cost structure resulting from the utilization of its Vietnam manufacturing base. The increase in bookings for the segment was offset by a decrease in bookings from the segment’s WBG Group resulting from less government contract bookings in fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007.

Revenues for fiscal 2008 from these operations increased 24% to $55.1 million compared to $44.6 million in fiscal 2007. The increase in revenues in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007 was due to increased shipments by the Marlow and WBG businesses. During fiscal 2008, WBG benefited from increased commercial acceptance of its product offerings as they continued to improve manufacturing yields on larger diameter SiC crystal products. The yield improvements translated into higher shipments and longer-term purchasing commitments from the Group’s customer base. Marlow’s revenue increase was due to continued worldwide product acceptance in the industrial, defense and medical markets.

Segment earnings for fiscal 2008 from these operations of $6.5 million increased 65% from segment earnings of $4.0 million in fiscal 2007. The improvement in segment earnings for fiscal 2008 was a combination of increased margins recognized on the incremental sales volume as well as increased utilization of Marlow’s Vietnam manufacturing facility contributing to lower manufacturing costs.

Costs and Expenses

Manufacturing gross margin, which is defined as net domestic and international revenues less cost of goods sold, for fiscal 2008 was $127.4 million or 42% of revenues compared to $105.3 million or 43% of revenues in fiscal 2007. The decrease in manufacturing gross margins for fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007 was primarily attributed to the impact of the Company’s PRM and HIGHYAG acquisitions, which have lower gross margins in comparison to the Company’s historical margins. In addition, the margin was also negatively impacted by yield and capacity challenges in the Company’s Infrared Optics segment.

Contract research and development gross margin, which is calculated as contract research and development revenues less contract research and development expenses, for fiscal 2008 was $2.8 million or 23% of revenues compared to a gross margin of $2.9 million or 26% of revenues for fiscal 2007. Contract revenues

 

39


increased approximately $1.1 million in fiscal 2008 compared to the same period in fiscal 2007 due to increased contract activity in the Military & Materials and Compound Semiconductor segments. Contract gross margin was negatively impacted in fiscal 2008 primarily due to change in the mix of contracts compared to fiscal 2007. The contract research and development revenues and costs are a result of development efforts in the Near-Infrared Optics, Military & Materials and Compound Semiconductor, segments and is a blend of cost plus fixed fee, cost reimbursement and fixed fee contract activities.

Company-funded internal research and development expenses for fiscal 2008 were $7.7 million or 2% of total revenues compared to $5.8 million or 2% of total revenues, for fiscal 2007. The dollar increase in internal research and development expense during fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007 was due to increased internal research and development in the Company’s Compound Semiconductor Group and the Military & Materials segment. The Compound Semiconductor Group segment has focused their internal research and development in the areas of material growth, yield improvements and quality control processes. The Military & Materials segment focused on increased military research and development activities.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2008 were $60.8 million or 19% of total revenues compared to $53.4 million or 21% of total revenues for fiscal 2007. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007 was primarily due to the inclusion of PRM’s financial results for fiscal 2008. The inclusion of PRM lowered this metric due to the historical lower overhead requirements of this operation compared to the Company’s historical selling, general and administrative expense percentage. The increase in selling, general and administrative costs compared to the same period in fiscal 2007 was primarily driven by an increase in the Company’s employment levels and other administrative costs to support the increased sales volume.

Interest expense for fiscal 2008 was $0.2 million compared to $1.0 million for fiscal 2007. The decrease in interest expense for fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007 was due to the reduction in the Company’s outstanding debt levels between these two periods.

Other income for fiscal 2008 was approximately $2.7 million and was consistent with other income in fiscal 2007. Other income for both fiscal years 2008 and 2007 consisted primarily of foreign currency gains from the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Company’s foreign currencies as well as interest income earned on the Company’s cash reserves.

During fiscal year 2008, the Company sold its equity interest in 5NPlus for $30.2 million in cash on which it recorded a pre-tax gain of $26.5 million.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for fiscal 2008 was 27.5% compared to the income tax rate for fiscal 2007 of 24.2%. The higher tax rate for fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007 was primarily due to the income taxes on the gain from the sale of the 5NPlus equity investment. Excluding the income taxes on the gain from the sale of the 5NPlus equity investment, the effective income tax rate for fiscal 2008 was approximately 22%. The decrease in the adjusted effective tax rate in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007 was primarily due to higher earnings in fiscal 2008 in lower tax foreign jurisdictions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Historically, our primary source of cash has been provided through operations and long-term borrowings. Other sources of cash include proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and sale of equity investment. Our historical uses of cash have been for capital expenditures, purchases of businesses, payment of principal and interest on outstanding debt obligations and purchases of treasury stock. Supplemental information pertaining to our sources and uses of cash is presented as follows:

Cash Provided by Operating Activities:

Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $48.8 million and $45.5 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in cash from continuing operations for fiscal year 2009 despite the lower earnings was the result of improvements in the level of working capital, principally related to the collection of our accounts receivable and lower net cash tax payments made during fiscal year 2009.

Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $45.5 million and $44.7 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase in cash from continuing operations for fiscal year 2008 was primarily driven by increased earnings in fiscal year 2008 compared to fiscal year 2007 offset by higher working capital requirements including accounts receivable and inventory, as a result of the business operating conditions that existed during fiscal year 2008.

Cash (used in) provided by investing activities:

Cash (used in) provided by investing activities from continuing operations was $(18.3) million and $7.1 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in cash from investing activities in the current fiscal year compared to the prior year was primarily the result of the Company receiving $30.2 million of proceeds from the sale of an equity investment in fiscal year 2008. During fiscal year 2009, the Company made $15.6 million of capital expenditures compared to $17.9 million in fiscal year 2008. The reduction in capital expenditure in the current fiscal year was a strategic decision to slowdown capital investments due to a slowdown of the Company’s general business activities as a result of the current worldwide economic recession in fiscal year 2009. In addition, during fiscal year 2009, the Company increased its minority investment in Fuxin Electronic Technology in the amount of $4.9 million.

Cash provided by (used in) investing activities from continuing operations was $7.1 million and $(27.6) million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase in cash from investing activities in fiscal year 2008 was the result of the Company receiving $30.2 million of proceeds from the sales of an equity investment in fiscal year 2008.

Cash used in financing activities:

Cash used in financing activities was $10.3 million and $9.7 million for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. During fiscal years 2009 and 2008, the Company repurchased treasury stock of $12.9 million and $5.9 million, respectively. Net debt payments were $0.5 million and $11.7 million for fiscal years 2009 and 2008, respectively. Cash used in financing activities was offset by proceeds from exercise of stock options and excess tax benefits from share-based compensation expense.

Cash used in financing activities was $9.7 million and $10.7 million for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During fiscal years 2008 and 2007, the Company repurchased treasury stock of $5.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Net debt payments were $11.7 million and $16.0 million for fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively, as the Company continued paying down on its outstanding borrowings from the excess cash generated from operations. Cash used in financing activities was offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options and excess tax benefits from share-based compensation expense

The Company’s credit facility is a $60.0 million line of credit which, under certain conditions, may be expanded to $100.0 million. The credit facility has a five-year term through October 2011 and has interest rates ranging from LIBOR plus 0.50% to LIBOR plus 1.25%. Additionally, the facility is subject to certain covenants, including those relating to minimum interest coverage and maximum leverage ratios. The weighted average interest rate of borrowings was 2.2% and 4.2% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company had $59.3 million available under its line of credit as of June 30, 2009 and 2008.

On October 23, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase up to 500,000 shares of its Common Stock. The repurchase program called for shares to be purchased in the open market or in private transactions from time to time. Shares purchased by the Company are retained as treasury stock and available for general corporate purposes. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the Company completed its repurchase program. During this program, the Company purchased 500,000 shares of its Common Stock for $12.9 million.

Our cash position, borrowing capacity and debt obligations are as follows (in millions):

 

     Year Ended
June 30,
     2009    2008

Cash and cash equivalents

   $ 95.9    $ 69.8

Additional borrowing capacity under existing credit facility

     59.3      59.3

Total debt obligations

     3.7      3.8

The Company believes cash flow from operations, existing cash reserves and available borrowing capacity will be sufficient to fund its working capital needs, capital expenditures and internal growth for fiscal 2010. As a result of the current world-wide recession, the Company is anticipating reducing its capital expenditures and other discretionary spending for fiscal year 2010.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

MARKET RISKS

The Company is exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In the normal course of business, the Company uses a variety of techniques and derivative financial instruments as part of its overall risk management strategy primarily focused on its exposure to the Japanese Yen. No significant changes have occurred in the techniques and instruments used other than those described below.

In addition, the Company has transactions denominated in Euros and Pounds Sterling. As a result of the Company’s hedging activities discussed below, changes in the foreign currency exchange rates of these currencies did not have a material impact on the results of operations for fiscal 2009.

Foreign Exchange Risks

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts with its financial institutions. The purpose of these contracts is to hedge ordinary business risks regarding foreign currencies on product sales. Foreign currency exchange contracts are used to limit transactional exposure to changes in currency rates. The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts that permit it to sell specified amounts of foreign currencies expected to be received from its export sales for pre-established U.S. dollar amounts at specified dates. The forward contracts are denominated in the same foreign currencies in which export sales are denominated. These contracts provide the Company with an economic hedge in which settlement

 

43


will occur in future periods and which otherwise would expose the Company to foreign currency risk. The Company monitors its positions and the credit ratings of the parties to these contracts. While the Company may be exposed to potential losses due to risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to these financial instruments, it does not anticipate such losses.

The Company entered into a low interest rate, 400 million Yen loan with PNC Bank in June 2007 in an effort to minimize the foreign currency exposure in Japan. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the Company repaid 50 million Yen under this loan. A change in the interest rate of 1% for this Yen loan would have had an immaterial impact to interest expense and a 10% change in the Yen to U.S. dollar exchange rate would have changed revenues in the range from a decrease of approximately $1.5 million to an increase of approximately $2.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2009.

For II-VI Singapore Pte., Ltd. and its subsidiaries, II-VI Suisse S.a.r.l., and Pacific Rare Specialty Metals & Chemicals, Inc., the functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Gains and losses on the remeasurement of the local currency financial statements are included in net earnings. Foreign currency gains (losses) were $0.5 million, $1.0 million and ($0.1) million for the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

For all other foreign subsidiaries, the functional currency is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of those operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the period-end exchange rate while income and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates for the reporting period. Translation adjustments are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity.

Interest Rate Risks

As of June 30, 2009, the Company’s total borrowings of $3.7 million were from a loan denominated in Japanese Yen. As such, the Company is exposed to changes in interest rates. A change in the interest rate of 1% would not have a material impact for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management’s Responsibility for Preparation of the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements included in the Annual Report. The financial statements were prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include amounts that are based on the best estimates and judgments of management. The other financial information contained in this annual report is consistent with the financial statements.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance concerning the reliability of the financial data used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, as well as reasonable assurance with respect to safeguarding the Company’s assets from unauthorized use or disposition.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement presentation and other results of such systems.

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009. In making this evaluation, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework . Management’s evaluation included reviewing the documentation of its controls, evaluating the design effectiveness of controls and testing their operating effectiveness. Based on the evaluation, management concluded that as of June 30, 2009, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were effective and provide reasonable assurance that the accompanying financial statements do not contain any material misstatement.

Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued their report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009. Their report is included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of II-VI Incorporated:

We have audited II-VI Incorporated’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). II-VI Incorporated’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, II-VI Incorporated maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of II-VI Incorporated and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, shareholders’ equity, comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2009 of II-VI Incorporated and our report dated August 28, 2009, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note A NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF BUSINESS     II-VI Incorporated and subsidiaries (the “Company”), a worldwide leader in crystal growth technology, is a vertically-integrated manufacturing company that creates and markets products for a diversified customer base including industrial manufacturing, military and aerospace, high-power electronics, telecommunications and thermo-electronics applications. The Company markets its products through its direct sales force and through distributors and agents.

The Company uses certain uncommon materials and compounds to manufacture its products. Some of these materials are available from only one proven outside source. The continued high quality of these materials is critical to the stability of the Company’s manufacturing yields. The Company has not experienced significant production delays due to a shortage of materials. However, the Company does occasionally experience problems associated with vendor-supplied materials not meeting specifications for quality or purity. A significant failure of the Company’s suppliers to deliver sufficient quantities of necessary high-quality materials on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

In June 2009, the Company sold its x-ray and gamma-ray radiation business, eV PRODUCTS, Inc. eV PRODUCTS was previously reported in the Compound Semiconductor Group business segment. Financial and operational data included herein for all periods presented reflect the presentation of eV PRODUCTS as a discontinued operation.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION     For II-VI Singapore Pte., Ltd. and its subsidiaries, II-VI Suisse S.a.r.l. and Pacific Rare Specialty Metals & Chemicals, Inc., the functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Gains and losses on the remeasurement of the local currency financial statements are included in net earnings. Foreign currency gains (losses) were $0.5 million, $1.0 million and ($0.1) million for the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

For all other foreign subsidiaries, the functional currency is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of those operations are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates while income and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates for the reporting period. Translation adjustments are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS     The Company considers highly liquid investment instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The majority of cash and cash equivalents is invested in investment grade money market type instruments. We place our cash and cash equivalents with high-credit quality financial institutions and to date we have not experienced credit losses in these instruments. Cash of foreign subsidiaries is on deposit at banks in Singapore, China, Germany, Japan, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Vietnam, the Philippines and Italy.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES     Marketable securities consisted of certificates of deposits with original maturity dates of six months. The deposits were denominated in U.S. dollars and were on deposit with a commercial bank in Vietnam and accrued interest ranging from 4.0% to 4.2% per annum.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND WARRANTY RESERVE     The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience.

 

53


The Company factored a portion of the accounts receivable due to its Japan subsidiary during each of the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. Factoring is done with large banks in Japan. During the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, $7.1 million and $7.8 million respectively, of accounts receivable had been factored. As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, was included in Other accrued liabilities representing the Company’s obligation to the bank for these receivables factored with recourse.

The Company records a warranty reserve as a charge against earnings based on a percentage of revenues utilizing actual returns over a period that approximates historical warranty experience. The following table summarizes the change in the carrying value of the Company’s warranty reserve as of and for the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007.

 

Year Ended June 30,      2009      2008        2007
($000)               

Balance – Beginning of Year

     $ 777      $ 926         $ 885

       84        (149        41
        

Balance – End of Year

     $ 861      $ 777         $ 926

INVENTORIES     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Inventory costs include material, labor and manufacturing overhead. The Company records a slow moving inventory reserve as a charge against earnings for all products on hand more than twelve months to eighteen months depending on the products that have not been sold to customers or cannot be further manufactured for sale to alternative customers. An additional reserve is recorded for product on hand that is in excess of product sold to customers over the same periods noted above. Inventories are net of reserves totaling $3.3 million and $2.1 million at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT     Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost or fair market value upon acquisition. Major improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are generally expensed as incurred. The Company reviews its property, plant and equipment and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is computed primarily by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives for building, building improvements and land improvements of 10 to 20 years and 2 to 12 years for machinery and equipment.

GOODWILL     The excess purchase price over the net assets of businesses acquired is reported as goodwill in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” the Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The evaluation of impairment involves comparing the current fair value of the business to the recorded value (including goodwill). The Company uses a discounted cash flow model (“DCF model”) to determine the current fair value of the business. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the DCF model to forecasted operating cash flows, including markets and market shares, sales volume and pricing, costs to produce, working capital changes and income tax rates. Management considers historical experience and all available information at the time the fair values of the business are estimated. However, actual fair value that could be realized could differ from those used to evaluate the impairment of goodwill.

INVESTMENTS     In March 2007, the Company acquired for $3.6 million a 10% non-controlling minority interest in Guangdong Fuxin Electronic Technology (Fuxin) based in Guangdong Province, China. In July 2008, the Company completed an additional investment of 10.2% of the equity interests of Fuxin for approximately $4.9 million. The Company has a total equity investment in Fuxin of 20.2%. This investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting commencing with the period beginning July 1, 2008. Prior to July 1, 2008, this investment was accounted for under the cost method of accounting. During the year ended

 

54


June 30, 2009, the Company’s pro-rata share of earnings from this investment was $1.1 million, and is recorded in other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The Company did not record any earnings from this investment during the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

During the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company sold its entire 36% equity investment in 5N Plus, Inc. for $30.2 million in cash on which it recorded an after-tax gain of $15.9 million. The Company’s pro rata share of the earnings from this investment and the interest received from these agreements were approximately $0.7 million and $0.9 million for the years ended June 30 2008 and 2007, respectively.

INTANGIBLES     Intangible assets are carried at cost or fair market value upon acquisition. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three years to twenty years. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but tested annually for impairment in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that indefinite-lived intangible assets might be impaired.

OTHER ASSETS     In April 2005, the Company entered into a $2.0 million note purchase agreement with SemiSouth Laboratories, Inc. (“SemiSouth”), a customer and supplier of the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, the note receivable accrues interest at Prime plus 1.00% per annum paid quarterly. The note receivable matures April 4, 2010. The note purchase agreement contains a conversion feature that permits the Company to convert the note receivable into common shares of SemiSouth at certain times upon certain situations through the maturity date.

ACCRUED BONUSES AND PROFIT SHARING CONTRIBUTION     The Company records bonus and profit sharing estimates as a charge against earnings. These estimates are adjusted to actual based on final results of operations achieved during the fiscal year. Certain partial bonus amounts may be paid on an interim basis, and the remainder is paid after the fiscal year end after the final determination of the applicable percentage or amounts. Other bonuses are paid annually.

INCOME TAXES     Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the consolidated financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized. The Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB 109” as of July 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the financial statement recognition threshold and measurement attribute of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return in accordance with Statement 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transition. Under FIN 48, the Company applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. FIN 48 only allows the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. Under FIN 48, the Company classifies interest and penalties as an element of income tax expense.

REVENUE RECOGNITION     The Company recognizes revenues when the criteria of SAB 104 are met. Revenues for product shipments are realizable when we have persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement, the product has been shipped or delivered, the sale price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Title and risk of loss passes from the Company to its customer at the time of shipment in most cases with the exception of certain customers. For these customers, which represent less than 5% of our consolidated revenues, title does not pass and revenue is not recognized until the customer has received the product at its physical location.

We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts and a warranty reserve based on historical experience and believe the collection of revenues, net of these reserves, is reasonably assured. Our allowance for doubtful accounts and warranty reserve balances at June 30, 2009 was approximately $1.0 million and $0.9 million,

 

55


respectively. Our reserve estimates have historically been proven to be materially correct based upon actual charges incurred.

The Company’s revenue recognition policy is consistently applied across the Company’s segments, product lines and geographical locations. Further, we do not have post shipment obligations such as training or installation, customer acceptance provisions, credits and discounts, rebates and price protection, or other similar privileges. Our distributors and agents are not granted price protection. Our distributors and agents, who comprise less than 10% of consolidated revenue, have no additional product return rights beyond the right to return defective products that are covered by our warranty policy. We believe our revenue recognition practices are consistent with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin: No. 104 – Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (SAB 104) and that we have adequately considered the requirements of SFAS No. 48 “Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists”.

Revenues generated from transactions other than product shipments are contract related and have historically accounted for approximately 5% or less of the Company’s consolidated revenues. For this portion of revenues, the Company follows the guidelines of Statement of Position 81-1 “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts” for these contracts, which are related to research and development.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS     Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in revenues. Shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Total shipping and handling revenue and costs included in revenues and in selling, general and administrative expenses were $0.3 million, $0.6 million and $0.3 million for the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT     Internal research and development costs and costs not related to customer and government funded research and development contracts are expensed as incurred.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION     The Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), (“SFAS 123(R)”) “Share-Based Payment,” effective July 1, 2005. SFAS 123(R) requires the recognition of the fair value of stock compensation in net earnings. The Company recognizes the share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period. Prior to July 1, 2005, the Company followed Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations in accounting for its share-based compensation.

Under the provisions of SFAS 123(R), the Company recorded $5.0 million, $4.0 million and $3.4 million in share-based compensation expense in its Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The share-based compensation expense is allocated approximately 25% to cost of goods sold and 75% to selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings based upon the employee classification of the grantee. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of the share-based compensation expense. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, the weighted-average fair value of options granted under the stock option plan was $17.71, $13.31 and $14.62, respectively, per option using the following assumptions:

 

         Year Ended
June 30, 2009
     Year Ended
June 30, 2008
    

Year Ended

June 30, 2007

Risk free interest rate

     2.91%      3.79%      5.14%

Expected volatility

     41%      39%      56%

Expected life of options

     5.84 years      5.86 years      6.89 years

Dividend yield

     None      none      None

 

56


The risk-free interest rate is derived from the average U.S. Treasury Note rate during the period, which approximates the rate in effect at the time of grant related to the expected life of the options. The risk free interest rate shown above is the weighted average rate for all options granted during the fiscal year. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s Common Stock over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options. The expected life calculation is based on the observed time to post-vesting exercise and/or forfeitures of options by our employees. The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no intention to pay cash dividends in the future. The estimated annualized forfeitures are based on the Company’s historical experience of option pre-vesting cancellations and are estimated at a rate of 22%. Under the provisions of SFAS 123(R), the Company will record additional expense in future periods if the actual forfeiture rate is lower than estimated, and will record a recovery of expense in future periods if the actual forfeitures are higher than estimated.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS     The Company, from time to time, purchases foreign currency forward exchange contracts, primarily in Japanese Yen, that permit it to sell specified amounts of these foreign currencies expected to be received from its export sales for pre-established U.S. dollar amounts at specified dates. These contracts are entered into to limit transactional exposure to changes in currency exchange rates of export sales transactions in which settlement will occur in future periods and which otherwise would expose the Company, on the basis of its aggregate net cash flows in respective currencies, to foreign currency risk.

At June 30, 2009 the Company did not have any outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts. At June 30, 2008 the Company had outstanding contracts with a notional amount of approximately $8.1 million which approximated the fair value of these contracts on the statement of financial position. The Company records the change in the fair value of these contracts in the results of operations as they occur. The change in the fair value of these contracts for the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was insignificant.

WORKERS’ COMPENSATION     The Company is self-insured for certain losses related to workers’ compensation for its U.S. employees. Additionally, third-party insurance is obtained to limit our exposure to these claims in excess of $0.4 million per occurrence and $1.0 million in the aggregate per policy year. When estimating the self-insurance liability, the Company considers a number of factors, including historical claims experience, demographic and severity factors and valuations provided by independent third party consultants. Periodically, management reviews its assumptions and the valuations to determine the adequacy of the self-insurance liability.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME     Comprehensive income is a measure of all changes in shareholders’ equity that result from transactions and other economic events of the period other than transactions with owners. Accumulated other comprehensive income is a component of shareholders’ equity and consists of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments of $3.9 million and $3.6 million, net of income taxes of $0.6 million and $1.3 million, as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS EXCLUDING DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities The carrying amount approximates fair value because of their short maturities.

Debt Obligations The fair values of debt obligations are estimated based upon market values of similar issues. The fair values and carrying amounts of the Company’s debt obligations are approximately equivalent.

ESTIMATES     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date

 

57


of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECENTLY ISSUED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS     In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements where the FASB previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attributes.

SFAS No. 157 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 157 on July 1, 2008 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an Amendment of SFAS No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to measure eligible financial assets, financial liabilities and firm commitments at fair value, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, that are otherwise not permitted to be accounted for at fair value under other accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 on July 1, 2008 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest (minority interest) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Upon its adoption, effective as of the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year 2010, noncontrolling interests will be classified as equity in the Company’s financial statements and income and comprehensive income attributed to the noncontrolling interest will be included in the Company’s income and comprehensive income. The provisions of this standard must be applied retrospectively upon adoption. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 160 on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). SFAS No. 141 (R) established principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The provisions of SFAS No. 141(R) are effective for the Company’s business combinations occurring on or after July 1, 2009.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133,” which requires enhanced disclosure on the effect of derivatives on a company’s financial statements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s disclosures.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS No. 165”). This statement establishes general standards of accounting and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but

 

58


before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This statement requires disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. This statement is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosures.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS No. 168”). The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of SFAS No. 168, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. SFAS No. 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company will comply with the requirements of SFAS No. 168 beginning in the first fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2009.

 

Note B DISCONTINUED OPERATION

Note G GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of acquired businesses. Identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations are recorded based upon fair market value at the date of acquisition.

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows:

 

Year Ended June 30,    2009     2008

($000)

    

Balance – Beginning of Year

   $ 26,531      $ 24,489

            1,580

Foreign currency translation

     (390     462

Balance – End of Year

   $ 26,141      $ 26,531

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets,” the Company reviews the recoverability of goodwill at least annually and any time business conditions indicate a potential change in recoverability. The evaluation of impairment involves comparing the current fair value of the business to the recorded value (including goodwill). The Company uses a discounted cash flow model (“DCF model”) to determine the current fair value of the business. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the DCF model to forecasted operating cash flows, including markets and market shares, sales volume and pricing, costs to produce, working capital changes and income tax rates. Management considers historical experience and all available information at the time the fair values of the business are estimated. However, actual fair value that could be realized could differ from those used to evaluate the impairment of goodwill. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008, the Company conducted its annual impairment tests of its reporting units. Based on the results of these analyses, the Company’s goodwill of $26.1 million as of June 30, 2009 and $26.5 million as of June 30, 2008 was not impaired.

Amortization expense recorded on the intangible assets for the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $1.3 million, $1.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively. In connection with the acquisition of Marlow, the Company acquired a trade name with an indefinite life. The carrying amount of $6.0 million is not amortized but tested annually for impairment. The Company completed its impairment test of the acquired trade name with an indefinite life in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008. Based on the results of these tests, the trade name was not impaired at either June 30, 2009 or 2008. Included in the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of the Company’s patents, customer list and other component of intangible assets and goodwill is the effect of the foreign currency translation of the portion relating to the Company’s German subsidiaries.

The Company’s credit facility is a $60.0 million unsecured line of credit which, under certain conditions, may be expanded to $100.0 million. The credit facility has a five-year term through October 2011 and has interest rates ranging from LIBOR plus 0.50% to LIBOR plus 1.25% based upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. Additionally, the facility is subject to certain covenants, including those relating to minimum interest coverage and maximum leverage ratios.

The weighted average interest rate of borrowings was 2.2% and 4.2% for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company had available $59.3 million under its line of credit as of June 30, 2009 and 2008. The amounts available under the Company’s line of credit are reduced by outstanding letters of credit. At June 30, 2009 and 2008, total outstanding letters of credit supported by the credit facilities were $0.7 million.

The Company has a Yen loan which allows for borrowings up to 600 million Yen. The Yen loan has a term through June 2012. At June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had 350 million Yen and 400 million Yen borrowed under the loan, respectively. Interest is at a rate equal to the Japanese Yen Base Rate, as defined in the loan agreement, plus 1.49%. The Japanese Yen Base Rate was 0.78% at June 30, 2009 and 1.03% at June 30, 2008.

The Company has a line of credit facility with a Singapore bank which permits maximum borrowings in the local currency of approximately $0.4 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. Borrowings are payable upon demand with interest being charged at the rate of 1.00% above the bank’s prevailing prime lending rate. The interest rate was 5.25% at June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008. At June 30, 2009 and 2008 there were no outstanding borrowings under this facility.

The aggregate annual amounts of principal payments required on the long-term debt are as follows:

During the year ended June 30, 2009, the Company decided to adopt a tax planning strategy which should enable the utilization of foreign tax credit carryforwards. As a result, a deferred tax valuation allowance of $1.1 million was reversed to income and the Company recorded the benefit of the current year foreign tax credits generated. These foreign tax credits expire between 2012 and 2018.

During the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008, and 2007, net cash paid by the Company for income taxes was $8.9 million, $24.6 million, and $13.9 million, respectively.

Earnings before income taxes of our non-U.S. operations for June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $22.4 million, $36.0 million and $23.2 million, respectively. The Company has not recorded deferred income taxes applicable to undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S. If the

 

65


earnings of such foreign subsidiaries were not indefinitely reinvested, an additional deferred tax liability of approximately $41.0 million and $32.0 million would have been required as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. It is the Company’s intention to permanently reinvest undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries beyond the repatriated amount; therefore, no provision has been made for future income taxes on the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, as they are considered indefinitely reinvested.

The Company’s Vietnam subsidiary operates under a tax holiday and does not pay income taxes. This subsidiary is tax exempted through fiscal year 2010.

The sources of differences resulting in deferred income tax expense (benefit) from continuing operations and the related tax effect of each were as follows:

As of June 30, 2009, the Company had utilized all of its state net operating loss carryforwards. For the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, the Company utilized $0.7 million, $0.6 million and $1.8 million of state net operating losses, respectively, to reduce current taxable income.

In July 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 prescribes recognition and measurement standards for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN 48 is a two step process. The first step is the determination of whether a tax position should be recognized in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is to be recognized only if the Company determines that it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities based upon the technical merits of the position. In step two, for those tax positions which should be recognized, the measurement of a tax position is determined as being the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 was effective July 1, 2007 with adoption treated as a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings.

Changes in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits following FIN 48 adoption for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 were as follows:

In July 2008, the Internal Revenue Service completed its examination of the Company’s income tax returns for fiscal years 2005 and 2006. As a result, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 the Company reversed certain unrecognized tax benefits from those fiscal years and recognized an income tax benefit of approximately $4.7 million.

The Company classifies all estimated and actual interest and penalties as income tax expense. During the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company recognized $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of interest and penalties within income tax expense. The Company had $0.2 million and $1.4 million of interest and penalties accrued at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company has classified the uncertain tax positions as non-current income tax liabilities as the amounts are not expected to be paid within one year. Including tax positions for which the Company determined that the tax position would not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold upon examination by the tax authorities based upon the technical merits of the position, the total estimated unrecognized tax benefit that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate was approximately $2.6 million at June 30, 2009. The Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next twelve months.

The fiscal years 2007 to 2009 remain open to examination by the United States Internal Revenue Service, fiscal years 2004 to 2009 remain open to examination by certain state jurisdictions, and fiscal years 2004 to 2009 remain open to examination by certain foreign taxing jurisdictions.

Note L SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

On August 13, 2005, the Board of Directors adopted the II-VI Incorporated 2005 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan was approved by the shareholders of the Company on November 4, 2005. The Plan provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, deferred shares and performance units to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan shall not in the aggregate exceed 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock authorized plus any shares under the predecessor plan which is outstanding as of November 4, 2005, that expire or terminate without being exercised. All options to purchase shares of Common Stock granted under the Plan have been at market price at the date of grant. Generally, twenty percent of the options may be exercised one year from the date of grant with comparable annual increases on a cumulative basis each year thereafter. The stock option plan also has vesting provisions predicated upon the death, retirement or disability of the optionee. As of June 30, 2009, there were 632,650 shares available to be issued under the Plan.

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company granted certain named executive officers performance share awards under the 2005 Omnibus Incentive Plan. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the Company had two outstanding performance share grants covering the periods July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2009 and July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2010. The awards are intended to provide continuing emphasis on specified financial performance goals that the Company considers important contributors to long-term shareholder value. The awards are payable only if the Company achieves specified levels of revenue and cash flows from operations for the performance periods. Included in the $5.0 million, $4.0 million and $3.4 million of share-based compensation expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, was $0.3 million, $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for the same periods attributable to the two performance share plans. The performance share compensation expense was calculated based upon the number of shares projected to be earned multiplied by the stock price at the date the performance share plan was established. At June 30, 2009, the Company had one outstanding performance share plan covering the 24-month performance period from July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2010. The projected target awards for this performance share plan are 14,800 shares at a fair market value per share at the grant date of $46.99. The projected share-based compensation expense attributable to this performance share plan to be recognized in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010 is $0.2 million.

Note M SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC REPORTING

The Company reports its business segments using the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The Company determines its reportable business segments based on the way the chief operating decision maker organizes business segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. To aggregate operating segments, the Company considers if the operating segments have similar economic characteristics, and if the operating segments are similar in each of the following areas:

 

  a. The nature of the products and services
  b. The nature of the production processes
  c. The type of class of customer for their products and services
  d. The methods used to distribute their products or provide their services

The Company has four reportable segments. The Company’s chief operating decision maker receives and reviews financial information in this format. The Company evaluates business segment performance based

 

69


upon reported business segment earnings or loss, which is defined as earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, interest and other income or expense. The segments are managed separately due to the production requirements and facilities that are unique to each segment. The Company has the following reportable segments: Infrared Optics, which is the II-VI Infrared optics and material products businesses, HIGHYAG Lasertechnologie GmbH (“HIGHYAG”), a manufacturer of fiber-delivered beam transmission systems and processing tools for industrial lasers, and remaining corporate activities, primarily corporate assets and capital expenditures; Near-Infrared Optics, which is the VLOC subsidiary (“VLOC”), and the China and Vietnam near-infrared operations; Military & Materials, which is the Exotic Electro-Optics subsidiary (“EEO”) and Pacific Rare Specialty Metals & Chemicals (PRM) subsidiary; and the Compound Semiconductor Group, which is the Marlow subsidiary, the Wide Bandgap Materials group (“WBG”) and the Worldwide Materials Group (“WMG”) which is responsible for the corporate research and development activities.

The Company sold its x-ray and gamma-ray radiation business, eV PRODUCTS, Inc., in June 2009. This business operated within the Compound Semiconductor Group. Segment information for periods presented herein exclude eV PRODUCTS as this business is accounted for as a discontinued operation.

The Infrared Optics segment is divided into the geographic locations in the U.S., Singapore, China, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Belgium, the U.K. and Italy. The Infrared Optics segment is directed by the segment’s president, while each geographic location is directed by a general manager, and is further divided into production and administrative units that are directed by managers. The Infrared Optics segment designs, manufactures and markets optical and electro-optical components and materials sold under the II-VI brand name and used primarily in high-power CO 2 lasers. The Infrared Optics segment also manufactures fiber-delivered beam delivery systems and processing tools for industrial lasers sold under the HIGHYAG Lasertechnologie GmbH brand name.

The Near-Infrared Optics segment is located in the U.S., China, Vietnam, Germany, Japan and the U.K. The Near-Infrared Optics segment is directed by a general manager. The Near-Infrared Optics segment is further divided into production and administrative units that are directed by managers. The Near-Infrared Optics segment designs, manufactures and markets near-infrared and visible-light products for industrial, scientific, military and medical instruments and laser gain material and products for solid-state YAG, YLF lasers and UV Filter components.

The Military & Materials segment is located in the U.S. and the Philippines. The Military & Materials segment is directed by a Corporate Vice-President while each geographic location is directed by a general manager. The Military & Materials segment is further divided into production and administrative units that are directed by managers. The Military & Materials segment designs, manufactures and markets infrared products for military applications under the Exotic Electro-Optics brand name and refines specialty metals, primarily selenium and tellurium metals, under the PRM brand name.

The Compound Semiconductor Group is located in the U.S., Germany, Japan, China and Vietnam. The Compound Semiconductor Group segment is directed by a Corporate Vice-President. Marlow designs and manufacturers thermo-electric cooling and power generation systems for use in defense and space, telecommunications, medical, consumer and industrial markets. WBG group manufactures and markets single crystal silicon carbide substrates for use in solid-state lighting, wireless infrastructure, radio frequency (“RF”) electronics and power switching industries. The WMG group directs the corporate research and development initiatives.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those of the Company. Substantially all of the Company’s corporate expenses are allocated to the segments. The Company evaluates segment performance based upon reported segment earnings or loss, which is defined as earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, interest and other income or expense. Inter-segment sales and transfers have been eliminated.

Note N EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Eligible U.S. employees of the Company participate in a profit sharing retirement plan. Contributions to the plan are made at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors and were $3.0 million, $3.4 million and $2.7 million for the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The Company has an employee stock purchase plan available for employees who have completed six months of continuous employment with the Company. The employee may purchase the Company’s Common Stock at 5% below the prevailing market price. The amount of shares which may be bought by an employee during each fiscal year is limited to 10% of the employee’s base pay. This plan, as amended, limits the number of shares of Common Stock available for purchase to 800,000 shares. There were 323,113 and 336,026 shares of Common Stock available for purchase under the plan at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

As a requirement of a collective bargaining agreement, PRM maintains a defined benefit plan for substantially all of its employees. The plan provides for retirement benefits based on a certain percentage of the latest monthly salary of an employee per year of service. The pension liability was $0.7 million and $0.5 million as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The actuarial assumptions used at June 30, 2009 and 2008 for the discount rate was 8.5% and 9.0%, respectively, and 6% for both fiscal years for future salary increases.

The Company has no program for post-retirement health and welfare benefits.

The II-VI Incorporated Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Compensation Plan”) is designed to allow officers and key employees of the Company to defer receipt of compensation into a trust fund for retirement purposes. The Compensation Plan is a nonqualified, defined contribution employees’ retirement plan. At the Company’s discretion, the Compensation Plan may be funded by the Company making contributions based on compensation deferrals, matching contributions and discretionary contributions. Compensation deferrals will be based on an election by the participant to defer a percentage of compensation under the Compensation Plan. All assets in the Compensation Plan are subject to claims of the Company’s creditors until such amounts are paid to the Compensation Plan participants. During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Company amended its Compensation Plan to restrict changes to and settlements of funds invested in the Common Stock of the Company, which is one of the investment elections available under the Compensation Plan. As a result of this amendment, the Compensation Plan changed from a liability plan to an equity plan. This change resulted in a

 

73


reduction of the deferred compensation liability associated with the fair value of the Common Stock of the Company held in the Compensation Plan by approximately $1.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2007 with a corresponding increase to the Company’s equity. Employees of the Company made contributions to the Compensation Plan in the amount of approximately $0.2 million, $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. There were no employer contributions made to the Compensation Plan for the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007.

 

Note O COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has purchase commitments for materials and supplies as part of the ordinary conduct of business. A few of the commitments are long-term and are based on minimum purchase requirements. Due to the proprietary nature of some of the Company’s materials and processes, certain contracts may contain penalty provisions for early termination. The Company does not believe that a significant amount of penalties is reasonably likely to be incurred under these commitments based upon historical experience and current expectation. In addition, the Company has payment commitments relating to its acquisitions of PRM and HIGHYAG. Future commitments are as follows:

Note P STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

On October 23, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase up to 500,000 shares of its Common Stock. The repurchase program called for shares to be purchased in the open market or in private transactions from time to time.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, the Company completed this repurchase program by purchasing 500,000 shares of its Common Stock for $12.9 million.

On May 18, 2005, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase up to 500,000 shares of its Common Stock.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of Francis J. Kramer, Chief Executive Officer and Craig A. Creaturo, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K. The Company’s disclosure controls were designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. However, the controls have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the controls’ stated goals. Based on that evaluation, Messrs. Kramer and Creaturo concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

See the “Report of Management” which is set forth under Item 8 above and is incorporated herein by reference.

Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

The report of Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to our internal control over financial reporting is included in Item 8.

Exhibit 3.02

II-VI INCORPORATED

BY-LAWS, as Amended

August 15, 2009

ARTICLE I

MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

Section 1.01.    ANNUAL MEETINGS; NOTICE. An annual meeting of the shareholders shall be held each year at such time and place within or without the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as may be designated by the Board of Directors. Written notice of the annual meeting shall be given at least five (5) days prior to the meeting to each shareholder of record entitled to vote thereat, except in the instance where the meeting will consider a fundamental change in the corporation as defined in Chapter 19 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988 in which case notice shall be given at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting. Any business may be transacted at the annual meeting, irrespective of whether the notice of such meeting contains a reference thereto, except as otherwise expressly required herein or by law.

Section 1.02.    SPECIAL MEETINGS; NOTICE. Special meetings of the shareholders may be called at any time, for the purpose or purposes set forth in the call, by the Chairman or by the Board of Directors by delivering a written request to the Secretary, such meeting to be held not more than sixty (60) days after receipt of the request. Special meetings of the shareholders shall be held at such place as may be designated by the Board of Directors, or if not so designated, at the principal office of the corporation. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.03(b) of these By-laws, written notice of special meetings specifying the place, day, and hour of the meeting and the general nature of the business to be transacted shall be given at least five (5) days prior to the meeting to each shareholder entitled to vote thereat, except in the instance where the meeting will consider a fundamental change in the corporation as defined in Chapter 19 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988 in which case notice shall be given at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting. No business may be transacted at any special meeting other than that the general nature of which has been stated in the notice of meeting, and business which is germane thereto.

Section 1.03.    ORGANIZATION AND MANNER OF ACTING. (a) PROXIES: Every shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of the shareholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him/her/it by proxy. Every proxy shall be executed or authenticated by the shareholder or by his/her/its duly authorized attorney-in-fact and filed with or transmitted to the Secretary of the corporation or its designated agent. A shareholder or his/her/its duly authorized attorney-in-fact may execute or authenticate a writing or transmit an electronic message authorizing another person to act for him/her/it by proxy. A telegram, telex, cablegram, datagram, e-mail, Internet communication or


other means of electronic transmission from a shareholder or attorney-in-fact, or a photographic, facsimile or similar reproduction of a writing executed by a shareholder or attorney-in-fact shall be treated as properly executed or authenticated if it sets forth or utilizes a confidential and unique identification number or other mark furnished by the corporation to the shareholder for purposes of a particular meeting or transaction. A proxy, unless coupled with an interest, shall be revocable at will, notwithstanding any other agreement or any provision in the proxy to the contrary, but the revocation of a proxy shall not be effective until notice thereof has been given to the Secretary of the corporation or its designated agent in writing or by electronic transmission. An unrevoked proxy shall not be valid after three years from the date of its execution, authentication or transmission unless a longer time is expressly provided therein. A proxy shall not be revoked by the death or incapacity of the maker unless, before the vote is counted or the authority is exercised, written notice of the death or incapacity is given to the Secretary of the corporation or its designated agent. (b) QUORUM: A shareholders’ meeting duly called shall not be organized for the transaction of business unless a quorum is present. At any meeting and except as otherwise provided by law, the presence in person or by proxy of shareholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes which all shareholders are entitled to cast on the particular matter shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the purpose of considering such matter. The shareholders present at a duly organized meeting can continued to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum. If a meeting cannot be organized because a quorum has not attended, those present may adjourn the meeting from day to day to such time and place as they may determine by vote of shareholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes present, until a quorum as aforesaid shall be present at any such reconvened meeting. When a meeting is adjourned, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of the adjourned meeting or of the business to be transacted at the adjourned meeting, other than by announcement at the meeting at which such adjournment is taken unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed. The determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall apply to any adjournment of that meeting unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date. (c) VOTING: Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, these By-laws or by law, every shareholder of record shall be entitled to one vote for every share standing in his/her name on the books of the corporation. Elections of Directors need not be by ballot, except upon demand by a shareholder made at the election and before voting begins. In all elections of Directors, voting shall be conducted according to the principles of cumulative voting. Except as provided in the Articles of Incorporation, resolutions of the shareholders shall be adopted, and any action of the shareholders at a meeting upon any matter shall be taken and be valid, only with the affirmative vote of shareholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes which all shareholders present at the meeting are entitled to cast, except as otherwise provided by law. (d) PRESIDING OFFICER, SECRETARY: The Chairman of the Board, or in his/her absence or if such office is vacant the President, shall preside, and the Secretary shall take the minutes, at all meetings of the shareholders. In the absence of the presiding officer hereinabove designated, the presiding officer shall be designated by the Board of Directors, or if not so designated, selected by the shareholders present; and in the absence of the Secretary, the presiding officer shall designate any person to take the minutes of the meeting. (e) MEETING BY TELEPHONE: One or more of the shareholders may participate in a meeting of the shareholders by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons


participating in the meeting can hear each other.

Section 1.04.    CONSENT OF SHAREHOLDERS IN LIEU OF MEETING. Any action which may be taken at a meeting of the shareholders or of a class of shareholders may be taken without a meeting if, prior or subsequent to the action, a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all of the shareholders who would be entitled to vote at a meeting for such purpose and shall be filed with the Secretary of the corporation.

Section 1.05.    VOTING LIST. The officer or agent having charge of the transfer books for the shares of the corporation shall make, for each meeting of shareholders, a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of shares held by each. The list shall be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting, and shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder during the whole time of the meeting. If the corporation has 5,000 or more shareholders, the corporation may, in lieu of making such list, make such information available by any other means.

Section 1.06.    DETERMINATION OF SHAREHOLDERS OF RECORDS. The Board of Directors may fix a time, not more than ninety days before the date of any meeting of the shareholders or the date fixed for the payment of any dividend or distribution, or the date for the allotment of rights, or the date when any change or conversion or exchange of shares will be made or go into effect, as a record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any such meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any such dividend or distribution, or to receive any such allotment of rights, or to exercise the rights in respect of any such change, conversion or exchange of shares. In such case, only such shareholders as shall be shareholders of record on the date so fixed shall be entitled to notice of, or to vote at, such meeting, or to receive payment of such dividend, or to receive such allotment of rights, or to exercise such rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the corporation after the record date fixed. Unless a record date is fixed by the Board of Directors for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive notice of, or to vote at, a shareholders’ meeting, transferees of shares which are transferred on the books of the corporation within ten days next preceding the date of such meeting shall not be entitled to notice of, or to vote at, such meeting. The Board of Directors may adopt a procedure whereby a shareholder of the corporation may certify in writing to the corporation that all or a portion of the shares requested in the name of the shareholder are held for the account of a specified person or persons.

Section 1.07.    JUDGES OF ELECTION OR VOTE. In advance of any meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors may appoint judges of election, who need not be shareholders, to act at such meeting or any adjournment thereof. If judges of election be not so appointed, the chairman of any such meeting may, and on the request of any shareholder or his/her proxy shall, make such appointment at the meeting. The number of judges shall be one or three. If appointed at a meeting on the request of one or more shareholders or proxies, the majority of shares present and entitled to vote shall determine whether one or three judges are to be appointed. No person who is a candidate for office shall act as a judge. In case any person appointed as judge fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the Board of Directors in advance of the convening of the meeting, or at the meeting by the person or officer acting as


chairman of the meeting. The judges of election shall determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the authenticity, validity, and effect of proxies, receive votes or ballots, hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate all votes, determine the result, and do such acts as may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders. The judges of election shall perform their duties impartially, in good faith, to the best of their ability, and as expeditiously as is practical. If there be three judges of election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority shall be effective in all respects as the decision, act or certificate of all. On request of the chairman of the meeting, or of any shareholder or his/her proxy, the judges shall make a report in writing of any challenge or questions or matter determined by them, and execute a certificate of any fact found by them. Any report or certificate made by them shall be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

ARTICLE II

DIRECTORS

Section 2.01.    NUMBER, ELECTION AND TERM OF OFFICE. The number of Directors shall be at least five (5) and not more than nine (9) Directors, the exact number to be set from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors. Until otherwise provided by resolution of the Board of Directors, the Board shall consist of six (6) Directors. Commencing with the annual meeting of the shareholders first following the adoption of these By-laws by the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes in respect to term of office. Each class shall be as nearly equal in number as possible The term of office of Directors of the first class shall expire at the annual meeting of the shareholders in the first year following their election; the term of office of Directors of the second class shall expire at the annual meeting of the shareholders in the second year following their election; the term of office of Directors of the third class shall expire at the annual meeting of the shareholders in the third year following their election. Upon the expiration of the terms of office of the Directors as classified above, their successors shall be elected for the term of three years, so that, as nearly as possible, one-third (1/3) of the number of Directors of the corporation shall be elected annually. Directors shall be natural persons of full age, but need not be residents of Pennsylvania or shareholders of the corporation.

Section 2.02.    ORGANIZATION MEETING OR ANNUAL MEETING; NOTICE. An organization meeting, or annual meeting of the newly elected Board of Directors shall be held each year at the same place as and promptly after the annual meeting of shareholders. At such meeting, the Board of Directors shall organize itself and elect the executive officers of the corporation for the ensuing year, and may transact any other business. Notice of the organization meeting of the Board or of the business to be transacted thereat shall not be required to be given, except as otherwise expressly required herein or by law.

Section 2.03.    REGULAR MEETINGS; NOTICE. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at such time and place as shall be designated by the Board from time to time. Notice of such regular meetings of the Board shall not be required to be given, except as otherwise


expressly required herein or by law, except that wherever the time or place of regular meetings shall be initially fixed or changed, notice of such action shall be given promptly by telephone or otherwise to each Director not participating in such action.

Section 2.04.    SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called at any time by the Board itself by vote at a meeting, or by any Director, or by the Chairman to be held at such place and day and hour and for such purposes as shall be specified by the person or persons calling the meeting in an oral or written notice at least one hour prior to the meeting. Any business may be transacted at a special meeting, irrespective of whether the notice of such meeting contains a reference thereto, except as otherwise expressly required herein or by law.

Section 2.05.    ORGANIZATION AND MANNER OF ACTING. At all meetings of the Board of Directors, the presence of at least a majority of the Directors in office shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the acts of a majority of the Directors present at a meeting at which the quorum is present shall be the acts of the Board of Directors. If a quorum is not present at any meeting, the meeting may be adjourned from time to time by a majority of the Directors present, until a quorum as aforesaid shall be present; but notice of the time and place to which such meeting is adjourned shall be given to any Director not present on at least the day prior to the date of reconvening. Resolutions of the Board shall be adopted, and any action of the Board at a meeting upon any matter shall be taken and be valid, with the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the Directors present at a meeting duly convened, except as otherwise expressly required herein or by law. The Chairman of the Board, or in his/her absence or if such office is vacant the President, shall preside at all meetings of the Board. The Secretary shall take the minutes at all meetings of the Board. In the absence of the presiding officer hereinabove designated, the Directors present shall select a member of the Board to preside; and in the absence of the Secretary, the presiding officer shall designate any person to take the minutes of the meeting.

Section 2.06.    RESIGNATIONS. Any Director may resign by submitting to the Chairman of the Board or the President his/her resignation, which (unless otherwise specified therein) need not be accepted to make it effective and shall be effective immediately upon its receipt by such officer.

Section 2.07.    REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS. (a) By action of the shareholders: The entire Board of Directors, or a class of the Board, where the Board is classified with respect to the power to elect Directors, or any individual Director may be removed from office at any time without assigning any cause therefor, by the vote of shareholders as provided by the Articles of Incorporation. In case the Board, or such a class of the Board, or any one or more Directors be so removed, new Directors may be elected at the same meeting. Unless the entire Board or a class of the Board be removed, not more than one Director at a time may be removed by any one vote of the shareholders. No individual Director shall be removed unless the entire Board or a class of the Board is removed in case the votes of a sufficient number of shares are cast against the resolution for his/her removal which if cumulatively voted at an annual election of the Board would be sufficient to elect at least one (1) Director. (b) By action of the Directors: The Board of Directors may declare vacant the office of a Director if he/she be declared of unsound mind by an order of court, or convicted of a felony, or for any other proper cause, or if, within sixty (60) days after notice of his/her election, he/she does not accept such office either in writing or by attending a meeting of the Board of Directors and fulfill


such other requirements of qualification these by-laws may specify. (c) Other removal: The provisions of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any provision of law authorizing the removal of any Director or a class of the Board.

Section 2.08.    VACANCIES. Vacancies in the Board of Directors, including vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of Directors, shall be filled by a majority of the remaining members of the Board though less than a quorum or by the sole remaining Director, and each person so elected shall be a Director for the unexpired term of his/her predecessor in office, or, if a vacancy arises as a result of an increase in the number of Directors, the Director filling the vacancy shall be a Director for a term to be determined by the Board of Directors, but in no event to exceed a term of three years. Any such vacancy in any class of the Board of Directors may be filled by any incumbent member of any other class of the Board of Directors, provided, however, that such incumbent member shall consent to such election; such consent to such election shall be considered for the purposes of this Section 2.08 to be a simultaneous resignation by such Director from his former class.

Section 2.09.    COMPENSATION. Directors, as such, shall not receive any stated salary for their services, but by resolution of the Board of Directors a fixed sum and expenses of attendance, if any, may be allowed for attendance at each annual, regular or special meeting of the Board; provided, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any Director from serving the corporation in any proper capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 6.01.    STANDARD OF CARE AND JUSTIFIABLE RELIANCE.

(a) A Director of the corporation shall stand in a fiduciary relation to the corporation and shall perform his/her duties as a Director, including his/her duties as a member of any committee of the board upon which he/she may serve, in good faith, in a manner he/she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation, and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, skill and diligence, as a person of ordinary prudence would use under similar circumstances. In performing his/her duties, a Director shall be entitled to rely in good faith on information, opinions, reports or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, in each case prepared or presented by any of the following (1) One or more officers or employees of the corporation whom the Director reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented; (2) Counsel, public accountants or other persons as to matters which the Director reasonably believes to be within the professional or expert competence of such person; and (3) A committee of the board upon which he/she does not serve, duly designated in accordance with law, as to matters within its designated authority, which committee the Director reasonably believes to merit confidence. A Director shall not be considered to be acting in good faith if he/she has knowledge concerning the matter in question that would cause his/her reliance to be unwarranted.

(b) In discharging the duties of their respective positions, the board of Directors, committees of the board and individual Directors may, in considering the best interests of the corporation, consider the effects of any action upon employees, upon suppliers and customers of the corporation and upon communities in which offices or other establishments of the corporation are located, and all other pertinent factors. The consideration of those factors shall not constitute a violation of subsection (a).

(c) Absent breach of fiduciary duty, lack of good faith or self-dealing, actions taken as a Director or any failure to take any action shall be presumed to be in the best interests of the corporation.

Section 6.02.    PERSONAL LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS. A Director of the corporation shall not be personally liable for monetary damages as such for any action taken, or any failure to take any action, unless: (1) the Director has breached or failed to perform the duties of his/her office under Section 6.01 (relating to standard of care and justifiable reliance); and (2) the breach or failure to perform constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness. The provisions of this section shall not apply to: (1) the responsibility or liability of a Director pursuant to any criminal statute; or (2) the liability of a Director for the payment of taxes pursuant to local, State or Federal law.


Section 6.03.    INDEMNIFICATION IN THIRD PARTY ACTIONS. The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he/she is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a Director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him/her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he/she acted in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his/her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he/she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his/her conduct was unlawful.

Section 6.04.    INDEMNIFICATION IN DERIVATIVE ACTIONS. The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he/she is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorney’s fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him/her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he/she acted in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his/her duty to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Common Pleas of the county in which the registered office of the corporation is located or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Common Pleas of such other court shall deem proper.

Section 6.05.    WHEN INDEMNIFICATION IS NOT TO BE MADE. Indemnification pursuant to Section 6.03 and 6.04 shall not be made in any case where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a Court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness.

Section 6.06.    EXPENSES UPON SUCCESSFUL TERMINATION. To the extent that a Director, officer, employee or agent or the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 6.03 and 6.04, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he/she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him/her in connection therewith.


Section 6.07.    DETERMINATION OF STANDARD OF CONDUCT. Any indemnification under Sections 6.03 and 6.04 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he/she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 6.02, 6.03 and 6.04. Such determination shall be made: (1) by the board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the shareholders.

Section 6.08.    PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Expenses incurred by an officer, Director, employee or agent in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he/she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.

Section 6.09.    INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS, SUPPLEMENTAL AND CONTINUING. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action in his/her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Exhibit 10.27

Description of Discretionary Incentive Plan

The Company has a Discretionary Incentive Plan. Under the Discretionary Incentive Plan, a method is provided for a direct link between eligible employee compensation and the Company’s annual performance. Awards under the Discretionary Incentive Plan are “at-risk” based on the performance of the Company, business unit and/or location. Each Named Executive Officer (NEO) has a Discretionary Incentive Plan with an assigned target award opportunity, expressed as a dollar amount. The Discretionary Incentive Plan is individually tailored to the responsibility of the eligible employee. Certain goals of the Discretionary Incentive Plan are linked to the Company’s annual growth objectives for revenues and earnings per share growth. Other goals focus on specific financial and operational targets that have been determined by the Compensation Committee and/or Chief Executive Officer to be important for that particular employee to direct his attention to. Each performance goal is graded individually and the Discretionary Incentive Plan award represents the total of the achievements on the individual performance goals. The Chief Executive Officer approves all individual Discretionary Incentive Plans except his own, which is approved by the Compensation Committee. The Discretionary Incentive Plan is available to all NEOs and selected members of the Company’s senior management. Payouts of awards under the Discretionary Incentive Plan appear in the Summary Compensation Table under the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column.
