ANALOGIC CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

1. Basis of presentation

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

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Preparing financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. We report our financial condition and results of operations on a fiscal year basis ending on July 31st of each year. The nine months ended April 30, 2017 and 2016 represent the third quarters of fiscal years 2017 and 2016, respectively.

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for all interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2016, or fiscal year 2016, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on September 27, 2016. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, in the United States of America.

Consolidation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of an entity and therefore required to consolidate, we apply a qualitative approach that determines whether we have both (1) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to that entity. We have not been required to consolidate the activity of any entity due to these considerations.

Reclassifications and revisions to prior period financial statements

Certain financial statement items have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. We separately presented write down of demo equipment to net realizable value and provision for excess and obsolescence inventory on our April 30, 2016 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to conform to the current period presentation. There was no impact on our Consolidated Statements of Operations as a result of these reclassifications.

2. Recent accounting pronouncements

Accounting pronouncements issued and recently adopted

None.

Accounting pronouncements issued and not yet effective

Clarifying the Definition of a Business

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” The amendments provide the requirements needed for a set to be a business and establish a practical way to determine when a set is not a business. To be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. An output is the result of inputs and substantive processes that provide goods or services to customers, other revenue, or investment income, such as dividends and interest. The amendments narrow the definition of outputs and align it with how outputs are described in Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted. The standard will be effective for us in fiscal years beginning August 1, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this update on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “ Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230).”  The amendments provide guidance on the eight specific cash flow statement presentation and classification issues as follows: (1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; (2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies; (6) distributions received from equity method investees; (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and (8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The standard will be effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending July 31, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this update on our consolidated financial statements.

Improvements to employee share-based payment accounting

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which amends ASC 718, “Stock Based Compensation.” The amendments require that all excess tax benefits be recorded as an income tax benefit or expense in the income statement and be classified as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows. Entities may also elect to estimate the amount of forfeitures or recognize them as they occur. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The standard will be effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending July 31, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this update on our consolidated financial statements.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. The standard requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases on the balance sheet. For income statement purposes, the standard requires leases to be classified as either operating or finance. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The standard will be effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending July 31, 2020. Adoption requires application of the new guidance for all periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue from contracts with customers

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. This update affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. This update will supersede existing revenue recognition requirements and most industry-specific guidance. This update also supersedes some cost guidance, including revenue recognition guidance for construction-type and production-type contracts. The update’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. This update should be applied either on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. This update was originally effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending July 31, 2018. Early adoption was not permitted. In August 2015, the FASB approved a one year delay of the effective date of the new revenue standard for public entities. Therefore, this update would be effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending July 31, 2019. The standard permits entities to early adopt, but only as of the original effective date (i.e. one year earlier). We are expected to adopt the new standard in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2019 effective August 01, 2018. We are still in the early stage of assessing the adoption method and analyzing the impact of the adoption of this update on our consolidated financial statements. We are unable to quantify the impact at this time. We established a project plan and an implementation team. The implementation team continues to apprise both management and the Audit Committee of project status on a recurring basis.

3. Accounts receivable, net

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

5. Intangible assets and goodwill

Intangible assets

Intangible assets include the value assigned to intellectual property and other technology, patents, customer contracts and relationships, and trade names. The estimated useful lives for all of these intangible assets, excluding a trade name determined to have an indefinite life, range between 1 to 14 years. Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trade names acquired in business combinations. The carrying values of our indefinite-lived intangible assets were $7.6 million at both nine months ended April 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016.

During the three months ended April 30, 2017, management noted impairment indicators related to the Oncura intangible assets which had a carrying value of $3.1 million. Oncura is part of our Ultrasound operating segment. Management performed an impairment test based on the projected future cash flows. Further disruption in the sales channel of our vet business in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 resulted in lower revenues than anticipated for the quarter and a reduce d revenue forecast of our Oncura reporting unit, as compared with our prior estimates resulting in the recording of an impairment charge of $3.1 million, including a write-off of customer relationship of $2.4 million and a write-off of trade name of $0.7 m illion. We recorded these amounts in the asset impairment charges caption in our accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations. For   more information on the acquisition of Oncura, please refer to Note 3. Business combination in our Annual Rep ort on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2016, as filed with the SEC on September 27, 2016.     

During the three months ended April 30, 2017, management noted impairment indicators related to the PocketSonics intangible assets which had a carrying value of $8.1 million. PocketSonics is part of our Ultrasound operating segment. Management performed an impairment test based on the projected future cash flows and based on a decision during the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 to forgo further investment in the business, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $8.1 million, consisting of technology of $8.1 million. We recorded these amounts in the asset impairment charges caption in our accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations. For   more information on the acquisition of PocketSonics, please refer to Note 3. Business combination in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2016, as filed with the SEC on September 27, 2016.  

During the nine months ended April 30, 2017, intangible asset impairment charges were $11.9 million.

Goodwill

Analogic has goodwill balances of $2.3 million at April 30, 2017 and $73.9 million at July 31, 2016. We review periodically or more frequently if indicators are present or changes in circumstances suggest that it is more likely than not that impairment may exist and we perform a formal goodwill impairment test in the second quarter of each fiscal year.

We have four reporting units with goodwill—Medical Imaging, Ultrasound, Oncura, and Security and Detection and three reportable segments—Medical Imaging, Ultrasound, and Security and Detection. We performed the annual impairment test for our goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives as of December 31, 2016. We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value and as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. Alternatively, we may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed to the two-step quantitative impairment test. If we choose to perform a qualitative assessment and determine it is more

10


 

likely than not that the carrying value of the net assets is more than the fair value of the related oper ations, the two-step impairment process is then performed; otherwise, no further testing is required.

Our quantitative impairment assessment considered both the market approach and income approach to calculate the fair value of the reporting unit, with different weights assigned to each. Under the market approach, the fair value of the reporting unit is based on trading multiples of a peer group of companies, which was determined based on an analysis of the selected guideline public companies’ business enterprise value (“BEV”) plus  a control premium, which was determined based on an analysis of control premiums for recent relevant acquisitions. Under the income approach, the fair value of the reporting unit is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, which are determined, based upon the Company’s most recent strategic operating plan and considering market participant assumptions. The income approach is dependent on a number of significant management assumptions including estimates of future revenues, costs and expenses, and a number of significant valuation inputs including discount rates, working capital rates and tax rates. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2017, for our Medical Imaging, Ultrasound, Oncura, and Security and Detection reporting units, we used the two-step quantitative impairment test. For the Security and Detection reporting unit, we performed the market approach and determined that the fair value of our Security and Detection reporting unit was in excess of its carrying value, and concluded that there was no impairment during the annual impairment test of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives as of December 31, 2016. For our Medical Imaging and Ultrasound reporting units, we used both the market approach and income approach and determined that there was no impairment of goodwill during the annual impairment test of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives as of December 31, 2016. For our Medical Imaging reporting unit, we determined that the estimated fair value of the Medical Imaging reporting unit substantially exceeds its carrying value. For our Ultrasound reporting unit, we determined that our Ultrasound reporting unit was at risk of failing the first step of the goodwill impairment test in future reporting periods due to forecast revisions and changes in strategy in our ultrasound business. For example, an increase in the discount rate applied to the Ultrasound cash flows of 300 basis points could result in a failure of Step 1 of the impairment test. Also, a decrease in the revenue compound annual growth rate within the Ultrasound cash flow forecast of 200 basis points could result in a failure of Step 1 of the impairment test. Our Ultrasound reporting unit had excess fair value over carrying value of approximately 25% as of our annual test date and held $55.1 million of allocated goodwill as of December 31, 2016.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2017, for our Oncura reporting unit, recent changes in our strategy caused us to decrease future forecasted revenues from our prior estimates. As a result, we determined that the associated goodwill was impaired and we recorded an estimated charge of $9.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2017 during the annual impairment test of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives as of December 31, 2016. We recorded this amount in the asset impairment charges caption in our accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations. The amount of this charge was finalized in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, as we have completed the second step of the goodwill impairment test, in accordance with ASC Topic 350,  Intangibles-Goodwill and Other .

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2017, subsequent to the annual impairment test of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives as of December 31, 2016, we elected early adoption of ASU 2017-04 as of January 01, 2017, “Intangibles─Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” As a result, we removed Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, the Company noted impairment indicators related to our Ultrasound reporting unit. Additional delays related to the introduction and commercialization of our general imaging platform sold through our technology partner in general imaging caused the Company to reassess our revenue expectations for the product. This significant change, as well as a further reduction in revenue estimates for our fiscal 2017 impacted our overall revenue growth expectations in Ultrasound in future periods. Management performed an interim impairment test based on both the market approach and income approach and recorded an estimated impairment charge of $55.1 million. The amount of this charge is subject to finalization in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017. As a result, the aggregate amount of goodwill associated with our Ultrasound reporting unit was taken down to zero as of April 30, 2017. In addition, the remaining book value of the intangible assets allocated to our Ultrasound reporting unit was $9.3 million as of April 30, 2017.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, for our Oncura reporting unit, as a result of decreased forecasted revenue as compared with our prior estimates, which was caused by the further disruption in our sales channel in our vet business, w e determined that the remaining goodwill was impaired and recorded a charge of $6.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017. We recorded this amount in the asset impairment charges caption in our accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations. The aggregate amount of goodwill associated with our Oncura reporting unit was taken to zero as of April 30, 2017. Also as a result of our decreased revenue forecast for Oncura, we recorded an adjustment to the associated contingent consideration liability, which resulted in a gain of $2.1 million and $10.2 million for the three and nine months as of April 30, 2017, respectively, recorded within General and Administrative expenses. As of April 30, 2017, the fair value of the contingent consideration obligation associated with the Oncura acquisition was taken to zero.

We compared the fair value of a tradename that has an indefinite life using t he relief from royalty approach to its carrying value as of December 31, 2016. The relief from royalty approach utilized an after-tax royalty rate and a discount rate. The after-tax royalty rate was determined based on royalty research and margin analysis, while the discount rate was determined after consideration of market rates of return on debt and equity capital, the weighted average return on invested capital, and the risk associated with achieving forecasted sales for the tradename. We determined that the fair value of the tradename was in excess of its carrying value.

The current economic environment and the uncertainties regarding its impact on our business and our estimates for forecasted revenue and spending levels made for purposes of our goodwill and trade name impairment testing may not be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions regarding forecasted revenue or margin growth rates of each reporting unit and trade name are not achieved, we may be required to record an impairment charge for the goodwill and trade name in future periods, whether in connection with our next annual impairment testing in the second quarter of the fiscal year ending July 31, 2018, or prior to that if any such change constitutes a triggering event outside of the quarter from when the annual goodwill and trade name impairment test is performed.  Changes in our forecasts, or decreases in the value of our common stock could cause book values of certain operations to exceed their fair values which may result in goodwill impairment charges in future periods. It is not possible at this time to determine if any such future impairment charge would result or, if it does, whether such charge would be material.

6. Fair value measurements

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

The following tables provide the assets and liabilities carried at fair value and measured on a recurring basis at April 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016:

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

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

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

The fair value of the contingent payments associated with the acquisition of PocketSonics, Inc., or PocketSonics, was calculated utilizing 100% probability for the earn out associated with the Section 510(k) clearance obtained from the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, on April 9, 2014 and the first commercial shipment as defined in the purchase agreement, in the fiscal year ending July 31, 2016, or fiscal year 2016. Each quarter we revalue the contingent consideration obligations associated with the acquisition of PocketSonics to its then current fair value and record changes in the fair value to the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Changes in contingent consideration result from changes in the assumptions regarding probabilities of the estimated timing of launch, volume sales target, payments and the discount rate used to estimate the fair value of the liability. The assumptions used in estimating fair value require significant judgment. The use of different assumptions and judgments could result in a materially different estimate of fair value. There was no change in the fair value of our contingent consideration obligation during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017. We paid out the $2.0 million contingent liability during the third quarter during fiscal year 2017. Please refer to Note 3. Business combination in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2016, as filed with the SEC on September 27, 2016 for more information on the acquisition of PocketSonics.

The fair value of the contingent payment obligation associated with the acquisition of Oncura was valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair value of the contingent payment obligation of Oncura will be revalued each quarter to its then fair value and we will record changes in the fair value as contingent consideration expense within our Consolidated Statement of Operations within general and administrative operating expenses. Changes in contingent consideration expense result from changes in the assumptions regarding probabilities of the estimated future sales volume and gross margin targets and the discount rate used to estimate the fair value of the liability. The assumptions used in estimating the fair value require significant judgment. The use of different assumptions and judgments could result in a different estimate of fair value. There was a $2.1 million and $10.2 million decrease in the fair value of our contingent consideration obligation during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017, due to revisions in our forecasted revenues of the Oncura business, which reduced the amount of contingent consideration we expect to pay. As of April 30, 2017, the fair value of the contingent consideration obligation associated with the Oncura acquisition was $0.0 million. For more information on the acquisition of Oncura, please refer to Note 3. Business combination in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2016, as filed with the SEC on September 27, 2016.

7. Derivative instruments

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

As of April 30, 2017, we have forward contracts outstanding with notional amounts totaling $11.6 million. T hese contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, and the unrealized loss of $0.3 million, net of tax, on these contracts are reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income as of April 30, 2017. Assets and liability derivatives designated as hedging i nstruments are presented in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. At April 30, 2017 we had a derivative liability of $0.5 million included in other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

As of July 31, 2016, we have forward contracts outstanding with notional amounts totaling $18.6 million. These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, and the unrealized loss of $0.2 million, net of tax, on these contracts are reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income as of July 31, 2016. At July 31, 2016 we had a derivative liability of $0.3 million included in other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Realized gains and (losses) on the cash flow hedges are recognized in income in the period when the payment of expenses is recognized. During the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017 we recorded approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million of realized loss, respectively, included in in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three and nine months ended April 30, 2016 we recorded $0.2 million and $0.6 million of realized loss, respectively.

8. Common stock repurchases

On May 26, 2016, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $15.0 million of our common stock. After that authorization, we continued to repurchase stock with $1 million of unused capacity from the prior $30 million repurchase program, which was   authorized by our board of directors on June 2, 2014. Purchases under the current program will be made from time to time depending on market conditions and other factors. The Company's repurchase programs have no expiration date. The Board's authorization of the share repurchase programs does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and the programs may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion.

During the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017 , we repurchased and retired 13,578 shares of common stock under the June 2, 2014 repurchase program for $1.0 million at an average purchase price of $74.08 per share. The cumulative shares that were repurchased and retired under this program were 380,771 shares of common stock for $30.0 million at an average purchase price of $78.76 per share. The June 2, 2014 repurchase program is now complete.

During the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017 , we repurchased and retired 8,090 shares of common stock under  the May 26, 2016 repurchase program for $0.6 million at an average purchase price of $71.46 per share. The cumulative shares that were repurchased and retired under this program were 8,090 shares of common stock for $0.6 million at an average purchase price of $71.46 per share.

9. Accumulated other comprehensive income

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

Stock options

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

No stock options were granted during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017 and April 30, 2016, respectively.  

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017 was $0.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

Restricted stock and restricted stock units

We estimate the fair value of restricted stock units, or RSUs, that vest based on service conditions using the quoted closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. Share-based compensation expense is amortized over each award’s vesting period on a straight-line basis for all awards with service and performance conditions that vest at the end of the performance cycle, while the accelerated method applies to other awards with both service and performance conditions.

For our non-GAAP earnings per share, or EPS awards, the compensation cost is amortized over the performance period on a straight-line basis, net of forfeitures, because such awards vest only at the end of the performance period. The compensation cost is based on the number of shares that are deemed probable of vesting at the end of the three-year performance cycle. This probability assessment is done each quarter and changes in estimates can result in significant expense fluctuations due to the cumulative catch-up adjustment. We estimate the fair value of the non-GAAP EPS awards using the quoted closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.

For our relative total shareholder return, or TSR awards, which are based on market performance of our stock as compared to an industry peer group, the compensation cost is amortized over the performance period on a straight-line basis net of forfeitures, because the awards vest only at the end of the measurement period and the probability of actual shares expected to be earned is considered in the grant date valuation. As a result, the expense is not adjusted to reflect the actual shares earned. We estimate the fair value of the TSR awards using the Monte-Carlo simulation model.

We granted 601 and 28,749 TSR awards and 594 and 62,626 non-GAAP EPS awards during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017, respectively. We granted 0 and 24,821 TSR awards and 0 and 32,444 non-GAAP EPS awards during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2016, respectively. The fair value of our TSR performance-based awards at the date of grant was estimated using the Monte-Carlo simulation model with the following assumptions:

(1)

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

(2)

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

(3)

The risk-free interest rate is determined based on the yield of zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities for a period that is commensurate with the performance period.

(4)

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

The total fair value of RSUs that vested during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017 was $0.9 million and $4.1 million, respectively.

The total fair value of RSUs that vested during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2016 was $0.9 million and $5.3 million, respectively.

As of April 30, 2017, the unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested stock options and restricted stock was $9.2 million. This cost will be recognized over an estimated weighted average amortization period of 1.2 years and assumes target performance for the non-GAAP EPS awards.

11. Restructuring charges

Fiscal Year 2017 Restructuring Plan

On March 6, 2017, the Company announced a restructuring of its Ultrasound business designed to improve profitability and provide consistent long term growth. The Company intends to focus on its core markets of Urology and Surgery as well as specific areas of the Point of Care market where its products have a competitive advantage. The Company will consolidate the activities currently conducted in Vancouver, British Columbia with its existing operations in Copenhagen, Denmark and Peabody, Massachusetts and plans to exit the Vancouver facility by the end fiscal 2017. The Company intends to re-size its U.S. sales, global marketing as well as general and administration organizations in-line with its objectives. These activities will result in a workforce reduction of approximately 130 employees and is expected to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2017.

The Company expects to incur restructuring related charges of up to $5.0 million in fiscal 2017.  We incurred pre-tax charges of $2.1 and $2.5 million during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017.

Fiscal Year 2016 Restructuring Plan

On September 16, 2015, the Company announced our fiscal year 2016 restructuring plan, or 2016 Restructuring Plan. This plan includes the transition of certain manufacturing activities from our Peabody, Massachusetts location to our existing facility in Shanghai, China, and a reduction in force in order to align our research and development investment with expected customer funding. We had pre-tax adjustment of approximately $0.0 million and $(0.1) million to restructuring during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017. We incurred pre-tax charges of $1.8 million and $8.3 million during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2016, respectively, primarily relating to severance and personnel related costs for terminated employees. We expect that the 2016 Restructuring Plan will be substantially completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017.

12. Net income per common share

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

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

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 2017 is lower than the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to  operating losses generated in the United States, tax credits in the United States and Canada in spite of operating losses, and non-recurring discrete tax items. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended April 30, 2017 is lower than the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to losses generated in the US by impairment charges, income generated outside the United States in countries with lower tax rates, tax credits in the United States and Canada, and discrete tax benefits. The tax provision for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017 includes discrete tax benefits totaling $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2016 differs from the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to non-deductible and reserve items related to the BK Medical matter and expiration of statute of limitations for the income tax returns in the United States for fiscal year ended July 31, 2012. Additional impacts to our rate resulted from income generated outside the United States in countries with lower tax rates and from tax Credits in the United States and Canada. The tax provision for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2016 includes discrete tax benefits totaling $(0.2) million and $1.1 million, respectively. For more information on the BK Medical matter, please refer to Note 11. Commitments, guarantees and contingencies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2016, as filed with the SEC on September 27, 2016.

We are subject to U.S. Federal income tax as well as the income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. As of April 30, 2017, we have concluded all U.S. Federal income tax matters through the year ended July 31, 2012.

We accrue interest and, if applicable, penalties for any uncertain tax positions. This interest and penalty expense is treated as a component of income tax expense. At April 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016, we had approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million accrued for interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits.

At April 30, 2017, we had $6.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions and $0.3 million of related accrued interest and penalties. We are unable to reasonably estimate the amount and period in which these liabilities might be paid.

18


 

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

14. Segment information

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

 

Medical Imaging primarily includes systems and subsystems for CT and MRI medical imaging equipment as well as state-of-the-art, selenium-based detectors for screening of breast cancer and other diagnostic applications in mammography.

 

Ultrasound includes ultrasound systems and transducers primarily in the urology, surgery, and point-of-care markets.

 

Security and Detection includes advanced threat detecting CT systems utilizing our expertise in advanced imaging technology, primarily used in the checked baggage screening at airports worldwide.

15. Guarantees, commitments and contingencies

Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations

Our standard OEM and supply agreements entered in the ordinary course of business typically contain an indemnification provision pursuant to which we indemnify, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party in connection with any U.S. patent or any copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to our products. Such provisions generally survive termination or expiration of the agreements. The potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is, in some instances, unlimited. Our costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements have been insignificant to date. As a result, we believe that our estimated exposure on these agreements is currently minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of April 30, 2017.

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

The following table presents our product warranty liability as of April 30, 2017:

At April 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016, we had deferred revenue for extended product warranty contracts of $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Revolving Credit Agreements

On November 23, 2015, we entered into a five-year revolving credit agreement, or Credit Agreement, with the financial institutions identified therein as lenders, which included JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., TD Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., HSBC Bank, N.A., and People’s United Bank, N.A. The Credit Agreement provides $100.0 million in available credit and expires on November 23, 2020, when all outstanding borrowings must be paid in full. The credit facility does not require amortization of principal and may be reduced before maturity in whole or in part at our option without penalty. Upon entry into the Credit Agreement, we terminated without penalty a $100.0 million five-year, revolving credit agreement entered into on October 11, 2011 and previously paid in full in accordance with its terms. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes, including permitted acquisitions. The amount of available credit can be increased under specified circumstances up to $200.0 million in aggregate. We are the sole borrower under the Credit Agreement. The obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed as required to be by our material domestic subsidiaries as designated by us from time to time or as required under the Credit Agreement. There are no pledges of the capital stock or assets of our international subsidiaries.

20


 

Interest rates on borrowings outstanding under the credit facility range from 1.25% to 1.75% above the LIBOR rate, or, at our option range from 0.00% to 1.00% above a defined base rate, the amount in each case varying based upon our leverage ratio. A quart erly commitment fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.35% per annum is applicable on the undrawn portion of the credit facility, based upon our leverage ratio.

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

 

A leverage ratio, defined as consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated trailing four quarters earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, with the adjustments as stipulated in the Credit Agreement, of no greater than 2.75:1.00 (with a temporary step-up in the event of certain acquisitions); and

 

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

As of April 30, 2017, our leverage ratio was 0.004:1.00 and our interest coverage ratio was not applicable as we had no attributable interest expense. As of April 30, 2017, we were in full compliance with all financial and operating covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.

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

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

As of April 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016, we had approximately $1.2 million in other revolving credit facilities with banks available for direct borrowings.

We did not have any borrowing outstanding under any of our credit facilities at April 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016, respectively.

Legal Claims

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

On January 3, 2017, the Company's subsidiary Ultrasonix Medical Corporation ("UMC") received a notice of civil claim as a defendant. The lawsuit relates to the lease of a corporate office in Burnaby, British Columbia, of which UMC never took possession. The lawsuit claims that UMC is indebted to the landlord for unpaid and accelerated rent in an amount of approximately CAD 1.0 million, plus costs, plus interest on unpaid rent commencing in April 2014. During the third quarter of fiscal 2017 ended April 30, 2017, the Company filed a response in which it contests both liability and the extent of damages. During the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017, we accrued a $0.4 million charge in connection with this matter. The Company’s reasonable estimate of this liability is a range between $0.4 million and $0.7 million, with no amount within that range a better estimate than any other amount; accordingly, $0.4 million was accrued.

16. Subsequent events

We declared a dividend of $0.10 per share of common stock on June 1, 2017, which will be paid on June 30, 2017 to stockholders of record on June 16, 2017.

Medical Imaging

During the three months ended  April 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, our Medical Imaging revenue decreased by 5%, primarily due to reductions in MRI and CT revenues.

During the nine months ended April 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, our Medical Imaging revenue decreased by 1%, primarily due to reductions in CT and Digital Mammography revenues being partially offset by increases in MRI revenues.  

Ultrasound

During the three months ended April 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, our Ultrasound revenue decreased by 5%, primarily due to a decrease in direct Ultrasound shipments, partially offset by customer demand of legacy OEM probes.

During the nine months ended April 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, our Ultrasound revenue decreased by 4%, primarily due to decreased customer demand of legacy OEM probes and a decrease in direct Ultrasound shipments.

Security and Detection

During the three months ended April 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, our Security and Detection revenue was relatively flat.

During the nine months ended April 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 , our Security and Detection revenue increased by 31%, due to increased volume across all product lines.

The change in engineering revenue for the three and the nine months ended April 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 , respectively, was primarily due to timing of work done on customer-funded engineering projects in all three of our reported segments.

Customer-funded engineering projects in each of the segments can vary substantially from period to period in terms of resource requirements, type, size, length of project, and profitability.

Operating expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2017 increased by $69.5 million, or 146.9%, compared to the same period in 2016. Operating expenses for the nine months ended April 30, 2017 increased by $59.1 million, or 38.5%, compared to the same period in 2016.

Research and product development expenses decreased by $1.6 million, or 9.7% and $3.3 million, or 6.6% during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016, respectively, due to headcount related savings and lower material related spending.

Selling and marketing expenses increased by $0.5 million, or 3.2%  and $5.5 million, or 11.9% during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016, primarily due to higher headcount related spending.    

General and administrative expenses decreased by $2.8 million, or 21.2% during the three months ended April 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, primarily relating to a gain recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 for the decrease in contingent consideration of $2.1 million related to Oncura, due to revisions in our forecasted revenues of the Oncura business, which reduced the amount of contingent consideration we expect to pay, as well as reductions in headcount related spending. General and administrative expenses decreased by $20.7 million, or 42.5% during the nine months ended April 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to the decrease in contingent consideration of $10.2 million related to Oncura, and charges for the BK Medical matter of $10.1 million in 2016. For more information on the BK Medical matter, please refer to Note11. Commitments, guarantees and contingencies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2016, as filed with the SEC on September 27, 2016.

Restructuring expenses were $2.1 million and $2.4 million during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017, respectively, primarily due to expenses related to the Fiscal Year 2017 Restructuring Plan. Restructuring expenses were $1.8 million and $8.3 million during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2016, respectively, primarily due to expenses in 2016 related to the Fiscal Year 2016 Restructuring Plan. Please refer to  Note 11. Restructuring Charges  for more information on the Fiscal Year 2017 Restructuring Plan and Fiscal Year 2016 Restructuring Plan.

During the three months ended April 30, 2017, management noted impairment indicators related to the Oncura intangible assets which had a carrying value of $3.1 million. Oncura is part of our Ultrasound operating segment. Management performed an impairment test based on the projected future cash flows. Further disruption in the sales channel of our vet business in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 resulted in a lower revenues than anticipated for the quarter and a reduced revenue forecast of our Oncura reporting unit, as compared to our prior estimates resulting in the recording of an impairment charge of $3.1 million, including a write-off of customer relationship of $2.4 million and a write-off of trade name of $0.7 million. We recorded these amounts in the asset impairment charges caption in our accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

During the three months ended April 30, 2017, management noted impairment indicators related to the PocketSonics intangible assets which had a carrying value of $8.1 million. PocketSonics is part of our Ultrasound operating segment. Management performed an impairment test based on the projected future cash flows and based on a decision during the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 to forgo further investment in the business, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $8.1 million, consisting of technology of $8.1 million. We recorded these amounts in the asset impairment charges caption in our accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations. For   more information on the acquisition of PocketSonics, please refer to Note 3. Business combination in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2016, as filed with the SEC on September 27, 2016.  

During the nine months ended April 30, 2017, intangible asset impairment charges were $11.9 million. Please refer to  Note 5. Intangible assets and goodwill for more information on asset impairment charges.

  We have four reporting units with goodwill—Medical Imaging, Ultrasound, Oncura, and Security and Detection and three reportable segments—Medical Imaging, Ultrasound, and Security and Detection. We review periodically or more frequently if indicators are present or changes in circumstances suggest that impairment may exist for impairment indicators and perform a formal goodwill impairment test in the second quarter of each fiscal year. We performed the annual impairment test for our goodwill and

25


 

other intangible assets with indefinite lives as of December 31, 2016. We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than no t that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value and as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. Alternatively, we may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed to th e two-step quantitative impairment test. If we choose to perform a qualitative assessment and determine it is more likely than not that the carrying value of the net assets is more than the fair value of the related operations, the two-step impairment proc ess is then performed; otherwise, no further testing is required.

Our quantitative impairment assessment considered both the market approach and income approach to calculate the fair value of the reporting unit, with different weights assigned to each. Under the market approach, the fair value of the reporting unit is based on trading multiples of a peer group of companies, which was determined based on an analysis of the selected guideline public companies’ business enterprise value (“BEV”) plus  a control premium, which was determined based on an analysis of control premiums for recent relevant acquisitions. Under the income approach, the fair value of the reporting unit is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, which are determined, based upon the Company’s most recent strategic operating plan and considering market participant assumptions. The income approach is dependent on a number of significant management assumptions including estimates of future revenues, costs and expenses, and a number of significant valuation inputs including discount rates, working capital rates and tax rates. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2017, for our Medical Imaging, Ultrasound, Oncura, and Security and Detection reporting units, we used the two-step quantitative impairment test. For the Security and Detection reporting unit, we performed the market approach and determined that the fair value of our Security and Detection reporting unit was in excess of its carrying value, and concluded that there was no impairment of goodwill during the annual impairment test for our goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives as of December 31, 2016. For our Medical Imaging and Ultrasound reporting units, we used both the market approach and income approach and determined that there was no impairment of goodwill during the annual impairment test for our goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives as of December 31, 2016. For our Medical Imaging reporting unit, we determined that the estimated fair value of the Medical Imaging reporting unit substantially exceeds its carrying value. For our Ultrasound reporting unit, we determined that our Ultrasound reporting unit was at risk of failing the first step of the goodwill impairment test in future reporting periods due to forecast revisions and changes in strategy in our ultrasound business. For example, an increase in the discount rate applied to the Ultrasound cash flows of 300 basis points would result in a failure of Step 1 of the impairment test. Also, a decrease in the revenue compound annual growth rate within the Ultrasound cash flow forecast of 200 basis points could result in a failure of Step 1 of the impairment test. Our Ultrasound reporting unit had excess fair value over carrying value of approximately 25% as of our annual test date and held $55.1 million of allocated goodwill as of December 31, 2016.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2017, for our Oncura reporting unit, recent changes in our strategy caused us to decrease future forecasted revenues as compared with our prior estimates. As a result, we determined that the associated goodwill was impaired and we recorded an estimated charge of $9.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2017 during the annual impairment test of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives as of December 31, 2016. We recorded this amount in the asset impairment charges caption in our accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations. The amount of this charge was finalized in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, as we have completed the second step of the goodwill impairment test, in accordance with ASC Topic 350,  Intangibles-Goodwill and Other .

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2017, subsequent to the annual impairment test of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives as of December 31, 2016, we elected early adoption of ASU 2017-04 as of January 01, 2017, “Intangibles─Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” As a result, we removed Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, t he company noted impairment indicators related to our Ultrasound reporting unit. Additional delays related to the introduction and commercialization of our general imaging platform sold through our technology partner in general imaging caused the Company to reassess our revenue expectations for the product. This significant change, as well as a further reduction in revenue estimates for our fiscal 2017 impacted our overall revenue growth expectations in Ultrasound in future periods. Management performed an interim impairment test based on both the market approach and income approach and recorded an estimated impairment charge of $55.1 million. The amount of this charge is subject to finalization in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017. As a result, the aggregate amount of goodwill associated with our Ultrasound reporting unit was taken down to zero as of April 30, 2017. In addition, the remaining book value of the intangible assets allocated to our Ultrasound reporting unit was $9.3 million as of April 30, 2017.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, for our Oncura reporting unit, as a result of further decreased future forecasted revenue as compared with our prior estimates, caused by the further disruption in our sales channel in our vet business, we determined that the remaining goodwill was impaired and recorded a charge of $6.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017. We recorded this amount in the asset impairment charges caption in our accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations. As a result, the aggregate amount of goodwill associated with our Oncura reporting unit was taken to zero as of April 30, 2017. In addition, the remaining book value of the intangible assets allocated to our Oncura reporting unit was taken to zero as of April 30, 2017. Also as a

26


 

result of our decreased revenue forecast for Oncura, we recorded an adjustment to the associated contingent consideration liability, which resulted in a gain of $2.1 million and $10.2 million for the three and nine months as of April 30, 2017, respectively, recorded within General and Administrative expenses. As of April 30, 2017, the fair value of the contingent consideration obligation associated with the Oncura acquisition was taken to zero.

We compared the fair value of a tradename that has an indefinite life using the relief from royalty approach to its carrying value as of December 31, 2016. The relief from royalty approach utilized an after-tax royalty rate and a discount rate. The after-tax royalty rate was determined based on royalty research and margin analysis, while the discount rate was determined after consideration of market rates of return on debt and equity capital, the weighted average return on invested capital, and the risk associated with achieving forecasted sales for the tradename. We determined that the fair value of the tradename was in excess of its carrying value.

The current economic environment and the uncertainties regarding its impact on our business and our estimates for forecasted revenue and spending levels made for purposes of our goodwill and trade name impairment testing may not be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions regarding forecasted revenue or margin growth rates of each reporting unit and trade name are not achieved, we may be required to record an impairment charge for the goodwill and trade name in future periods, whether in connection with our next annual impairment testing in the second quarter of the fiscal year ending July 31, 2018, or prior to that if any such change constitutes a triggering event outside of the quarter from when the annual goodwill and trade name impairment test is performed.  Changes in our forecasts, or decreases in the value of our common stock could cause book values of certain operations to exceed their fair values which may result in goodwill impairment charges in future periods. It is not possible at this time to determine if any such future impairment charge would result or, if it does, whether such charge would be material.

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

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 2017 is higher than the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to operating losses generated in the United States, tax credits in the United States and Canada in spite of operating losses, and non-recurring discrete tax items.  Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended April 30, 2017 is lower than the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to losses generated in the US by impairment charges,  income generated outside the United States in countries with lower tax rates, tax credits in the United States and Canada, and discrete tax benefits.  The tax provision for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017 includes discrete tax benefits totaling $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

27


 

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2016 differs from the statuto ry rate of 35% primarily due to non-deductible and reserve items related to the BK Medical matter and expiration of statute of limitations for the income tax returns in the United States for fiscal year ended July 31, 2012. Additional impacts to our rate r esulted from income generated outside the United States in countries with lower tax rates and from tax Credits in the United States and Canada. The tax provision for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2016 includes discrete tax benefits totaling $(0 .2) million and $1.1 million, respectively. For more information on the BK Medical matter, please refer to Note 11. Commitments, guarantees and contingencies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2016, as filed with the SEC on September 27, 201 6.        

We are subject to U.S. Federal income tax as well as the income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. As of April 30, 2017, we have concluded all U.S. Federal income tax matters through the year ended July 31, 2012.

We accrue interest and, if applicable, penalties for any uncertain tax positions. This interest and penalty expense is treated as a component of income tax expense. At April 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016, we had approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million accrued for interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits.

At April 30, 2017, we had $6.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions and $0.3 million of related accrued interest and penalties. We are unable to reasonably estimate the amount and period in which these liabilities might be paid.

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

The decrease in net income and diluted net income per share for the three months ended April 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, was primarily due to lower revenues, lower gross margin, and higher operating expenses, partially offset by a benefit from income taxes.

Includes approximately $44.9 million and $45.3 million of cash and cash equivalents held outside the U.S. at April 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016, respectively.

As of April 30, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $158.6 million, a $39.9 million increase from July 31, 2016, as we generated $53.3 million in cash from operations and $3.1 million from the issuance of stock. This was offset by $7.7 million paid for additions to property and equipment, $3.8 million cash payment to shareholders for dividends, $2.0 million contingent consideration paid for business acquisitions, $1.6 million repurchase of common stock, and $1.1 million for the shares surrendered for taxes for vested employee restricted stock grants.

28


 

The increase in working capital from July 31, 2016 to April 30, 2017 was primarily attributable to an increase in cash of $39.9 million, decrease in contingent consideration of $4.5 million, decrease in accrued restructuring charges of $2.8 million, increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $18.9 million and a decrease in inventory of $1.2 million.

Cash and cash equivalents at April 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016 primarily consisted of demand deposits at highly rated banks and financial institutions. We periodically review our investment portfolio to determine if any investments are impaired due to changes in credit risk or other potential valuation concerns. We believe that our cash equivalents were appropriately valued at April 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016 and we are not aware of any market events that would impact their valuation. This could change in the future should new developments arise in the credit markets.

Operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended April 30, 2017 primarily reflects our net loss of $(49.6) million, $83.5 million related to asset impairment charges,  $19.2 million related to depreciation and amortization, $18.3 million related to the collection of accounts receivable, and $6.5 million related to share-based compensation expense. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in fair value of contingent consideration of $10.2 million, a decrease in benefit from deferred income taxes of $8.4 million, and a net decrease of $3.7 million in inventory related to non-cash write down of demo equipment to net realizable value, non-cash provision for excess and obsolescence inventory and a net change in operating inventory.

  The cash flows provided by operating activities during the nine months ended April 30, 2016 reflects our net income of $3.4 million, $23.5 million related to the collection of accounts receivable, $17.2 million related to depreciation and amortization, $11.6 million related to an increase in accrued liabilities, and $7.1 million related to share-based compensation. This decrease was partially offset by a $24.2 million increase in inventory due to the timing of shipments and to support growth in fiscal year 2016, and $3.8 million related to a decrease in accrued income taxes.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended April 30, 2017 was driven by purchases of property, plant and equipment of $7.7 million.

The net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended April 30, 2016 was driven by capital expenditures of $9.7 million and the acquisition of Oncura for an $8 million net cash payment.

Financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended April 30, 2017  primarily reflected $3.8 million of dividends paid to stockholders, $1.9 million contingent consideration paid for business acquisitions, $1.6 million used for repurchase of common stock, and $1.1 million used for shares surrendered for taxes paid related to vested employee restricted stock, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of common stock amounting to $3.1 million associated with share-based compensation and CEO transition related exercise of stock options.

The net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended April 30, 2016  primarily reflected $11.8 million used to repurchase common stock, $3.7 million of dividends paid to stockholders and $1.8 million used for shares surrendered for taxes paid related to vested employee restricted stock. This was partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of common stock amounting to $3.4 million associated with stock option exercises.

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

Commitments, Contractual Obligations, and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our contractual obligations at April 30, 2017 related to our operating leases, purchase obligations, pension, and contingent consideration affect our liquidity and cash flows in future periods.

Operating Leases – Certain of our subsidiaries lease manufacturing and office space under non-cancelable operating leases. These leases contain renewal options. We lease certain other real property and equipment under operating leases which, in the aggregate, are not significant. At April 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016, total commitments related to our operating leases were $4.2 million and $6.5 million, respectively.

Purchase Obligations – We enter into certain long-term agreements with customers, which obligate us to purchase goods or services. At April 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016, total purchase obligations were $33.9 million and $23.9 million, respectively.

Pension – Our Canadian subsidiary, Analogic Canada Corporation, formerly known as ANRAD Corporation, sponsors a defined benefit retirement plan called the Analogic Canada Corporation Retirement Plan, or the “Analogic Canada Plan”. The Analogic Canada Plan was frozen to new accruals during fiscal year 2015. The Analogic Canada Plan provides benefits to employees based on a formula recognizing length of service and final average earnings.  Please refer to Note 14. Retirement Plans in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending 2016 for details. The benefit obligation at April 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016 totaled $4.0 million and $4.4 million, respectively.   

Contingent Consideration – In connection with the acquisition of Oncura, as of April 30, 2017, there was a $2.1 million and $10.2 million decrease in the fair value of our contingent consideration obligation during the three and nine months of fiscal 2017, due to revisions in our forecasted revenues of the Oncura business, which reduced the remaining contingent consideration obligation to zero. Please refer to Note 6. Fair value measurements for more information.

Financing Arrangements

On November 23, 2015, we entered into a five-year revolving credit agreement, or Credit Agreement, with the financial institutions identified therein as lenders, which included JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., TD Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., HSBC Bank, N.A., and People’s United Bank, N.A.  The Credit Agreement provides $100.0 million in available credit and expires on November 23, 2020, when all outstanding borrowings must be paid in full. The credit facility does not require amortization of principal and may be reduced before maturity in whole or in part at our option without penalty.   We did not have any borrowings outstanding under this Credit Agreement as of April 30, 2017 . Please refer to Note 15. Guarantees, commitments and contingencies for more information on the Credit Agreement.

As of April 30, 2017, we also have approximately $1.2 million in other revolving credit facilities with banks available for direct borrowings.

Tax Related Obligations

At April 30, 2017, we had $6.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions and $0.3 million of related accrued interest and penalties. We are unable to reasonably estimate the amount and period in which these liabilities might be paid. Please refer to Note 13. Income taxes to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding matters relating to income taxes, including unrecognized tax benefits.

Legal Claims

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

On January 3, 2017, the Company's subsidiary Ultrasonix Medical Corporation ("UMC") received a notice of civil claim as a defendant. The lawsuit relates to the lease of a corporate office in Burnaby, British Columbia, of which UMC never took possession. The lawsuit claims that UMC is indebted to the landlord for unpaid and accelerated rent in an amount of approximately CAD 1.0 million, plus costs, plus interest on unpaid rent commencing in April 2014. During the third quarter of fiscal 2017 ended April 30, 2017, the Company filed a response in which it contests both liability and the extent of damages. During the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017, we accrued a $0.4 million charge in connection with this matter. The Company’s reasonable estimate of this

30


 

liability is a range between $0.4 milli on and $0.7 million, with no amount within that range a better estimate than any other amount; accordingly, $0.4 million was accrued.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under SEC rules, during the periods presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

Critical Accounting Policies

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

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2017. The term “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions to be made regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that any system of controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met and that management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2017, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended April 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Dear Shalabh:

The purpose of this letter agreement (“ Agreement ”) is to confirm the terms of your separation from Analogic Corporation (“ Analogic ” or the “ Company ”).

The Separation Pay described below is contingent on your agreement to and compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, including your signing of this Agreement, and your written reaffirmation (as described in Section 8 below) of the release of claims at the time your employment terminates.

1. Separation of Employment.   The last day of your employment (such date, the “ Separation Date ”) with the Company shall be April 28, 2017.

2. Separation Pay and Benefits.   If you do not rescind this Agreement as set forth in Section 8 below, then the Company will provide you with:

 

(i)

continuation of your current base salary for a period (the “ Separation Period ”) of thirty (30) weeks beginning on the Separation Date (the “ Separation Pay ”), subject to all ordinary payroll taxes and withholdings.  The first payment shall be made in the first regularly scheduled payroll following the Separation Date, provided you first have returned all Company property as required by Section 6 below;

 

(ii)

payment equal to the employer portion of your group health (medical, dental and vision) insurance through COBRA and payment of the employer portion of group life insurance premiums for continuing coverage during the Severance Period. Regardless of whether you execute this Agreement, you are eligible to continue receiving group medical, dental and/or vision insurance pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”).  If you execute this Agreement, you will automatically be enrolled in COBRA.  During the Severance Period, you will receive a package from Benefit Strategies that will contain instructions on how to continue your COBRA coverage after the end of your Severance Period.  If you do not execute this Agreement, you will receive a COBRA package notifying you of your right to continue participation in the Company’s group health plans under COBRA.  If you are between the ages of 60 and 65 and have completed at least 9.5 years of service, you may, as an alternative to COBRA, continue your group health (medical and dental) plans through the Company at 50% of the total premium until you become eligible for Medicare coverage.  If you elect to continue your participation in the Company’s group health

(iii)

You will receive your bonus under the fiscal year 2017 Annual Incentive Program ( “2017 AIP” ) according to the terms of the 2017 AIP. Your “Eligible Base Earnings” will be based upon the amount of base salary payments made through Company payroll from the beginning of FY2017 through and including the Separation Date; and

 

(iv)

The Company will provide you with career transition services through a Company- approved provider.  The cost of providing such services shall be borne by the Company and will be available to you within a reasonable period after the Separation Date.  If you elect to use these services, you must notify the Company within 90 days after the Separation Date.

The Separation Pay and benefits as set forth in this Section 2 shall be defined in this Agreement as the “ Separation Pay and Benefits ”.

3. Acknowledgments.   You acknowledge and agree that:

this Agreement and the Separation Pay and Benefits are neither intended to nor shall constitute a severance plan and shall confer no benefit on anyone other than the Company and you;

to the unemployment benefits notice attached hereto as Exhibit A .  The Company agrees that it will not contest any claim for unemployment benefits by you with the appropriate authorities.  The Company agrees to provide any and all requested or necessary documents to enable you to seek unemployment benefits, and further agrees that it will not take a position that would interfere with your ability to obtain unemployment benefits as a result of the separation of your employment from the Company.  Under no circumstances, however, shall the Company provide false, inaccurate, or misleading information.

6. Confidentiality; Return of Company Property; Non-Solicitation; Non-Disparagement.   You hereby covenant and agree to:

abide by any and all common law and/or statutory obligations relating to the protection and non-disclosure of the Company’s trade secrets and/or confidential and proprietary documents and information, and you specifically agree that you will not disclose any confidential or proprietary information that you acquired as an employee of the Company to any other person or entity, or use such information in any manner that is detrimental to the interests of the Company;

In addition, the Company will instruct its senior leadership team not to disparage you, personally or professionally.

Your breach of this Section 6 will constitute a material breach of this Agreement and, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedy available to the Company, will entitle the Company to stop providing and/or recover any Separation Pay and Benefits.  You understand that nothing in this Agreement is designed to interfere with, restrain, or prevent employee communications protected by state or federal law, including as protected by (a) section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (or court order), regarding wages, hours, or other terms and conditions of employment, (b) SEC Rule 21F-17, or (c) the immunity provided under 18 U.S.C. section  833(a) for confidential disclosures of trade secrets to government officials or lawyers solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or in a sealed filing in court or other proceeding relating to such suspected violation.

8. Release of Claims.

 

(i)

You hereby acknowledge and agree that by signing this Agreement and accepting the Separation Pay and Benefits provided for in this Agreement, you are waiving your right to assert any form of legal claim against the Company and any and all of its divisions, affiliates, and subsidiaries and all related entities, and its and their directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns (the “Releasees”) of any kind whatsoever from the beginning of time through and including the Separation Date, except for claims related to the Company’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement.  Your waiver and release is intended to bar any form of legal claim, charge, grievance, complaint, cause of action, or any other form of action (jointly referred to as “ Claims ”) against the Releasees seeking any form of relief including, without limitation, equitable relief (whether declaratory, injunctive or otherwise), the recovery of any damages or any other form of monetary recovery whatsoever (including, without limitation, back pay, front pay, compensatory damages, emotional distress damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and any other costs) against the Releasees up through and including the Separation Date.  You understand that there could be unknown or unanticipated Claims resulting from your employment with the Company and the termination thereof and agree that such Claims are intended to be, and are, included in this waiver and release.

 

(ii)

Without limiting the foregoing general waiver and release, except for Claims resulting from the failure of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement, you specifically waive and release the Releasees from any Claims arising from or related to your employment relationship with the Company or the separation thereof, including without limitation: (a) Claims under any state (including, without limitation, Massachusetts and other state in which you worked on behalf of Analogic) or federal discrimination (including, without limitation, the Massachusetts Fair Employment Practices Act (also known as Chapter 151B), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964), fair employment practices or other employment related statute, regulation or executive order (as they may have been amended through the date on which you sign this Agreement); (b) Claims under any other state (including, without limitation, Massachusetts and other state in which you worked on behalf of Analogic) or federal employment related statute, regulation or executive order (as they may have been amended through the date on which you sign this Agreement) relating to wages, hours or any other terms and conditions of employment; (c) Claims under any state (including, without limitation, Massachusetts and other state in which you worked on behalf of Analogic) or federal common law theory; and (d) any other Claim arising under other state or federal law.

5

 


 

 

(iii)

Because you are over 40 years of age, you have specific rights under the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (“ OWBPA ”), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of age.  The release set forth in this Section 8 is intended to release any rights you may have against the Company alleging discrimination on the basis of age.  Consistent with the provisions of the OWBPA, you have twenty-one (21) days to consider and accept the provisions of this Agreement.  In addition, you may rescind your assent to this Agreement if, within seven (7) days after the date you sign this Agreement, you deliver a written notice of rescission.  To be effective, such notice of rescission must be postmarked and sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or delivered within the seven-day period to VP Human Resources.

 

(iv)

Consistent with federal discrimination laws, nothing in this release shall be deemed to prohibit you from challenging the validity of this release under federal discrimination laws or from filing a charge or complaint of age or other employment related discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“ EEOC ”), or from participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by the EEOC.  Further, nothing in this release or Agreement shall be deemed to limit the Company’s right to seek immediate dismissal of such charge or complaint on the basis that your signing of this Agreement constitutes a full release of any individual rights under federal discrimination laws, or the Company’s right to seek restitution or other legal remedies to the extent permitted by law of the economic benefits provided to you under this Agreement in the event that you successfully challenge the validity of this release and prevail in any claim under federal discrimination laws.

 

(v)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the release in Section 8 does not cover rights or Claims under the ADEA that arise from acts or omissions that occur after the date you sign this Agreement.

 

(vi)

If your release of Claims pursuant to Section 8 is determined to be unenforceable in whole or part (except for your release of federal age discrimination Claims, which shall not be subject to this sentence), the Company will have the option, in its sole discretion, to either (a) declare the entire Agreement null and void and require you to refund the Separation Pay and Benefits provided for in this Agreement; or (b) enforce the portions of the Agreement found not to be unenforceable.  In the event that any other provision of this Agreement is determined to be unenforceable in whole or in part (including your release of federal age discrimination Claims) the remainder of the Agreement shall be enforced in full.

 

(vii)

Reaffirmation of Release of Claims .  On the Separation Date you agree to execute the affirmation attached as Exhibit C .  You also acknowledge and agree that the release of claims in Section 8 shall be fully effective in the event that you fail or refuse to execute the affirmation, but that Analogic shall have no obligation to provide you with the Separation Pay and Benefits (that otherwise would be provided under Section 2 of this Agreement) not already provided as of the Separation Date until you execute the affirmation.

9. Miscellaneous.

 

(i)

Except as expressly provided for herein ( e.g. , any agreement(s) referenced in Section 6(iii)), this Agreement supersedes any and all prior oral and/or written agreements, including any prior drafts of this Agreement, and sets forth the entire agreement between the Company and you in respect of your separation from the Company.

 

(ii)

No variations or modifications hereof shall be deemed valid unless reduced to writing and signed by the Company and you.

 

(iii)

The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if for any reason any part hereof shall be found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall be enforced in full.

 

(iv)

This Agreement may be on one or more copies, each of which when signed will be deemed to be an original, and all of which together will constitute one and the same Agreement.

 

(v)

The validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement, and any and all other matters relating to your employment and separation of employment from the Company, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to conflict of law principles.  Both parties agree that any action, demand, claim or counterclaim relating to (a) your employment and separation of your employment, and/or (b) the terms and provisions of this Agreement or to its breach, shall be commenced in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in a court of competent jurisdiction.

7

 


 

It is the Company’s desire and intent to make certain that you fully understand the provisions and effects of this Agreement.  To that end, you have been encouraged and given an opportunity to consult with legal counsel, and you acknowledge having done so.  By executing this Agreement, you are acknowledging that (a) you have been afforded sufficient time to understand the provisions and effects of this Agreement and to consult with legal counsel; (b) your agreements and obligations under this Agreement are made voluntarily, knowingly and without duress; and (c) neither the Company nor its agents or representatives have made any representations inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

Unless you rescind your assent as set forth in Section 8 above, this Agreement shall be effective on the eighth day following your signing of this Agreement, at which time it shall become final and binding on all parties.

If the foregoing correctly sets forth our arrangement, please sign, date and return the enclosed copy of this Agreement to VP Human Resources at 8 Centennial Drive, Peabody, MA 01960 within the time frame set forth above.

EXHIBIT A

Unemployment Benefits

Intentionally blank, see next page

How long does it take to process a new claim?

It takes approximately three to four weeks to process a new claim. If you are determined to be eligible for UI benefits, you will receive payments for the weeks that you are eligible, except for the first week, which is a waiting period required by Massachusetts Law.

How to request your weekly benefit payment:

Beginning on the Sunday after you apply for benefits, you must request your benefit payment (sign or certify your eligibility for UI benefits) weekly. A payment will be made to you for the previous week, after you request the benefit payment and we have determined that you are eligible. To request benefit payment:

1.

Go to www.mass.gov/dua , select UI Online for Claimants . Then log in to your account using your SSN and password that you created. Select Request Benefit Payment and answer the questions.

2.

Call the automated TeleCert service at 617-626-6338. Follow the voice prompts and answer the questions using the keypad on your phone. TeleCert is available in English and Spanish.

How to apply for benefits from out of state:

If you worked in Massachusetts and have moved to another state, you may still be eligible for benefits. This type of claim is known as an interstate claim. Interstate claims are subject to Massachusetts Law as if you were still living in the Commonwealth. You can apply for your interstate unemployment claim using UI Online or by calling the TeleClaim Center.

 

 

Need help?

If you have any questions concerning your eligibility or need assistance applying for unemployment benefits, please review the frequently asked questions on our website, www.mass.gov/dua or call the TeleClaim Center.

What is Unemployment Insurance?

Unemployment Insurance (UI) is a temporary income protection program for workers who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own, but are able to work, available for work, and looking for work. Funding for UI benefits comes from quarterly contributions paid by the state’s employers to the Department of Unemployment Assistance (DUA); no deductions are made from employees’ pay.

When should you apply for UI benefits?

If you have been separated from work, or your work schedule has been reduced, you should apply for UI benefits during your first week of total or partial unemployment. Your claim will begin on the Sunday of the calendar week in which your claim is filed. This date is known as your effective claim date. Waiting more than a full week to request benefits will delay the beginning of your claim and benefits may not be paid for the week(s) of unemployment that occurred prior to the week of filling.

How to apply for UI benefits:

We are committed to providing you with prompt and courteous service. Our goal is to ensure that you can apply for benefits quickly and efficiently. Simply follow these steps:

Be ready with the following information:

 

Social Security Number

 

Date of birth (month, day, year)

 

Home address, telephone number, and email address (if available)

 

Whether you have filed a UI claim in Massachusetts, or in any other state during the past 12 months

 

The names and addresses of all employers you have worked for during the past 15 months, and the dates you worked for each employer. If you are reopening a claim, be prepared to provide the same information for any employment you have had since your claim was last active.

 

Your Military discharge papers-from DD-214, member 4 (If you were separated from Military service with any branch of U.S. armed forces within the past 18 months)

 

If you were employed by the federal government within the past 18 months, the SF-8 and/or SF-50 form given to you by your government employer at the time of your separation

 

The reason why you are no longer working or why your hours have been reduced

If there is a reduction pursuant to this Agreement, the Covered Payment reduction contemplated by the preceding section 8.7.1 shall be implemented by determining the “Parachute Payment Ratio” (as defined below) for each “parachute payment” and then reducing the “parachute payments” in order beginning with the “parachute payment” with the highest Parachute Payment Ratio.  For “parachute payments” with the same Parachute Payment Ratio, such “parachute payments” shall be reduced based on the time of payment of such “parachute payments,” with amounts having later payment dates being reduced first.  For “parachute payments” with the same Parachute Payment Ratio and the same time of payment, such “parachute payments” shall be reduced on a pro rata basis (but not below zero) prior to reducing “parachute payments” with a lower Parachute Payment Ratio.  The term “Parachute Payment Ratio” shall mean a fraction the numerator of which is the value of the applicable “parachute payment” that must be taken into account by Executive for purposes of Section 4999(a) of the Code, and the denominator of which is the actual amount to be received by Executive in respect of the applicable “parachute payment”.  For example, in the case of an equity grant that is treated as contingent on the change in control because the time at which

9


 

 

 

the payment is made or the payment vests is accelerated, the denominator shall be determined by reference to the fair market value of the equity at the acceleration date, and not in accordance with the methodology for determining the value of accelerated payments set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1Q/A-24(b) or (c).  

 

8.7.3

Any determination required under this Section 8.7, including whether any payments or benefits are parachute payments, shall be made by the Company in its sole discretion.  Executive shall provide the Company with such information and documents as the Company may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section.  The Company’s determination shall be final and binding on Executive.  

9.

No Mitigation . In no event, except as set forth expressly in this or another agreement signed by Executive, shall Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and, subject to the aforesaid exception, such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not Executive obtains other employment.  

10.

Restrictive Covenants/Other Conditions to Employment . As a condition of employment hereunder and the effectiveness of this Agreement, Executive shall, prior to commencing employment:  

 

10.1

10.3

Provide proof satisfactory to the Company of his eligibility to work in the United States, including the proof described in Form I-9; and

 

10.4

Sign all consents necessary to the accomplishment of the foregoing.  Should Executive not satisfy the conditions set forth in this Section 10, or should the drug test or background check yield results unsatisfactory to the Company, Executive shall not commence employment and this Agreement shall be null and void, with no obligations owing to Executive.

11.

Payments Subject to Section 409A .  Subject to the provisions in this Section 11, any severance payments or benefits under this Agreement shall begin only upon the date of Executive’s “separation from service” (determined as set forth below) which occurs on or after the date of termination of employment.  The following rules shall apply with respect to distribution of the payments and benefits, if any, to be provided to Executive under this Agreement:  

10

11.3

If, as of the date of Executive’s “separation from service” from the Company, Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A), then:  

 

11.3.1

Each installment of the severance payments and benefits due under this Agreement that, in accordance with the dates and terms set forth herein, will in all circumstances, regardless of when the separation from service occurs, be paid within the short-term deferral period (as defined under Section 409A) shall be treated as a short-term deferral within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) to the maximum extent permissible under Section 409A and shall be paid at the time and in the matter set forth in this Agreement; and  

 

11.3.2

11.5

All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A to the extent that such reimbursements or in-kind benefits are subject to Section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirement that (i) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during Executive’s lifetime (or during a shorter period of time specified in this Agreement), (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred and (iv) the right to reimbursement is not subject to set off or liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.  

 

11.6

The Company may withhold (or cause to be withheld) from any payments made under this Agreement, all federal, state, city or other taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling.  

12.

13.

Assistance with Claims . Executive agrees that during and after his employment by the Company he will assist the Company and the Affiliated Entities in the defense of any claims, or potential claims that  may be made or are threatened to be made against any of them in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “ Proceeding ”), and will assist the Company and the Affiliated Entities in the prosecution of any claims that may be made by the Company or the Affiliated Entities in any Proceeding, to the extent that such claims may relate to Executive’s employment or the period of Executive’s employment by the Company.  The Company agrees to reimburse Executive for all of Executive’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses associated with such assistance, including travel expenses .

Exhibit A

Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement

As a condition of my employment with Analogic Corporation, its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, or assigns (collectively, “Analogic”), and in consideration of my employment or continued employment, as the case may be, with Analogic and my receipt of compensation now and hereafter paid to me by Analogic, I agree to the following terms and conditions of this Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement (the “Agreement”):

1. Proprietary Information .

 

a.

“Analogic Proprietary Information” means all information (whether or not patentable or copyrightable or protectable as trade secret) that is (1) non-public, confidential, and proprietary in nature and (2) owned, possessed, developed, created, or discovered by Analogic including, but not limited to, by or through its officers, agents, employees, advisors, or consultants.

 

b.

Analogic Proprietary Information includes, but is not limited to, data, know-how, manufacturing methods, formulas, algorithms, computer programs, processes, designs, sketches, photographs, plans, drawings, product concepts, improvements, specifications, samples, reports, laboratory notebooks, vendor names, customer and prospective customer names, distributor names, cost and pricing information, market definitions, business plans, marketing plans, financial plans, customer and prospective customer development information and strategies, business development opportunities, sales methods, inventions, trade secrets, ideas, research and development activities and plans, and employee and personnel information, including compensation, skill, and areas of expertise.  

 

c.

I understand that the above list is not exhaustive, and that Analogic Proprietary Information also includes other information that is marked or otherwise identified as confidential or proprietary, or that would otherwise appear to a reasonable person to be confidential or proprietary in the context and circumstances in which the information is known or used.

2. Access to Proprietary Information . I understand and acknowledge that, during the course of my employment, I will have access to and learn about Analogic Proprietary Information.  I further understand and acknowledge that Analogic’s ability to reserve its proprietary information for the exclusive knowledge and use of my position at Analogic is of great competitive importance and commercial value to Analogic, and my improper use or disclosure of the Analogic Proprietary Information might cause Analogic to incur financial costs, loss of business advantage, liability under confidentiality agreements with third-parties, civil damages, or criminal penalties.

3. Confidentiality . I agree, both during and after my employment with Analogic, to keep Analogic Proprietary Information secret.  I agree not to directly or indirectly disclose, record, or in any way make use of Analogic Proprietary Information except as required in the

16


 

 

performance of my duties and responsibilities as an employee of Analogic and under conditions that protect the Analogic Proprietary Information consistent with the terms of this Agreement.  I also agree not to remove or otherwise transmit Analogic Proprietary Information from Analogic’s premises or possession without the consent of an authorized Analogic representative. Further, I agree to keep secret any third party information, including, but not limited to, information received by Analogic from customers, prospective customers, and suppliers, to which I am given access that is covered by a confidentiality agreement between Analogic and the third party, and I will adhere to the terms of the agreement between Analogic and the third party.

4. Rights in Proprietary Information . All Analogic Proprietary Information, as well as all patents, patent rights, copyrights, copyrightable works, trade secret rights, trademark rights, and other rights (including, without limitation, intellectual property rights) anywhere in the world related to Analogic Proprietary Information, is, and shall be, the sole and exclusive property of Analogic.  

5. Return of Proprietary Information . I agree to deliver all tangible Analogic Proprietary Information in my possession, including all copies or computer records thereof, along with any other Analogic property, to Analogic on or before my last day of employment with Analogic. I further agree thereafter not to make any written record of such Proprietary Information nor to make use of such Proprietary Information.

6. Term . I understand and acknowledge that my obligations under this Agreement with regard to any particular Analogic Proprietary Information shall commence immediately upon my first having access to such Analogic Proprietary Information (whether before or after I begin employment by Analogic) and shall continue during and after my employment by Analogic until such time as such Analogic Proprietary Information has become public knowledge other than as a result of my breach of this Agreement or breach by those acting in concert with me or on my behalf.

7. Work for Hire . I acknowledge that, by reason of being employed by Analogic at the relevant times, to the extent permitted by law, all writings, works of authorship, technology, inventions, discoveries, ideas, and other work product of any nature whatsoever (collectively referred to as Work Product) consisting of copyrightable subject matter is "work made for hire" as defined in the Copyright Act of 1976 (17 U.S.C. § 101), and such copyrights are therefore owned by Analogic.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to reduce or limit Analogic’s rights, title or interest in any Work Product or Inventions so as to be less in any respect than I would have had in the absence of this Agreement.

8. Employee Inventions .

 

a.

I agree that all Employee Inventions are and shall be the sole and exclusive property of Analogic, which shall own all right, title, and interest in and to all Analogic Inventions to the fullest extent under applicable law.

 

b.

“Inventions” means all inventions, including, but not limited to, new discoveries, concepts, inventions, and developments, as well as improvements, modifications, enhancements, and derivative works, and all know-how, processes, techniques,

17


 

 

 

formulas, ideas, circuits, designs, copyrightable works (to the extent not “work for hire” treated under Section 7), trademarks, and trade secrets.

 

c.

“Employee Inventions” means Inventions that: (1) result from any work performed directly or indirectly by me for Analogic; (2) result, at least in part, from my use of Analogic’s time, equipment, supplies, facilities, trade secret information, or resources generally; or (3) relate, at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the Invention, to Analogic’s business, project, or products or to the manufacture or use thereof or the actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of Analogic.

9. Employee Inventions: Disclosure and Assignment .

 

a.

I agree both during and after my employment with Analogic, to disclose promptly and in writing all Employee Inventions that I, solely or jointly with others, make, author, discover, develop, conceive, and/or reduce to practice at any time during the term of my employment by Analogic. I will make this disclosure to my immediate supervisor or any other individual designated by Analogic.

 

b.

I hereby assign and agree to assign to Analogic or its designee, without further consideration, my entire right and interest in and to all Employee Inventions, including all rights to obtain, register, and enforce patents, copyrights, mask work rights, and other intellectual property protection for such Analogic Inventions, as works made for hire.  

 

c.

I hereby assign and agree to assign to Analogic all Inventions I conceive of or reduce to practice within one year following the end of my employment with Analogic (whether voluntary or otherwise), if the Invention is based on Analogic Proprietary Information obtained by me during my employment with Analogic.  Any patent application anywhere in the world that is filed within the six month period following the end of my employment with Analogic shall be presumed to be based on Analogic’s Proprietary information obtained by me during my employment with Analogic.

10. Other Rights . To the extent any copyrights are assigned under this Agreement, I hereby irrevocably waive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any and all claims I may now or hereafter have in any jurisdiction to all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as "moral rights" with respect to all Inventions and Work Product therein.

11. No License . I understand and acknowledge that this Agreement does not, and shall not be construed to, grant me any license or right of any nature with respect to any Employee Inventions, work product, or Analogic Proprietary Information.

12. Cooperation . I agree to execute all documents reasonably necessary to perfect such intellectual property rights or to assign those rights to Analogic or its designee.  I further agree to assist Analogic (at Analogic’s expense), during the term of my employment and as

18


 

 

reasonably necessary thereafter, in obtaining, protecting, and/or enforcing patents, copyrights, or other forms of Inventions and Analogic Proprietary Information.  I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Analogic as my agent and attorney-in-fact to act for and in my behalf to execute and file any document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me.  

13. Disclosure of Prior Inventions . As a matter of record I attach hereto a complete list of all inventions or improvements which have been made or conceived or first reduced to practice by me alone or jointly with others which I desire to remove from the operation of this Agreement, and I covenant that such list is complete.  If no such list is attached to this Agreement, I represent that I do not have such inventions and improvements at the time of signing this Agreement.

14. No Contrary Agreements . I represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement and as an employee of Analogic does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information acquired by me in confidence or in trust outside my employment with Analogic and I agree not to enter into any agreements either written or oral in conflict with this Agreement.

15. Non-Solicitation . I acknowledge that the Corporation has expended and continues to expend significant time and expense in recruiting and training its employees and that the loss of employees and any resulting Analogic Proprietary Information would cause significant and irreparable harm to the Corporation. Therefore, I agree not to directly or indirectly solicit, hire, recruit, attempt to hire or recruit, or induce the termination of employment of any employee of the Corporation for a period of 12 months starting on the last day of my employment with the Corporation.

16. Statutory Protections . I understand that nothing in this Agreement is designed to interfere with, restrain, or prevent employee communications protected by state or federal law, including as protected by (a) section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (or court order), regarding wages, hours, or other terms and conditions of employment, (b) FINRA Rule 21F-17, or (c) the immunity provided under 18 U.S.C. section 1833(a) for confidential disclosures of trade secrets to government officials or lawyers solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or in a sealed filing in court or other proceeding relating to such suspected violation.  

17. Irreparable Harm . I acknowledge that the Analogic Proprietary Information (and Analogic’s ability to reserve it for the exclusive knowledge and use of the company) is of great competitive importance and commercial value to Analogic. I further acknowledge that improper use or disclosure of Analogic Proprietary Information would cause irreparable harm to Analogic for which remedies at law would not be adequate. In the event of my breach of this Agreement or any threatened breach, I hereby agree that Analogic shall be entitled to seek, in addition to other available remedies, a temporary or permanent injunction or other equitable relief against such breach or threatened breach from any court of competent jurisdiction. Analogic will not be required to post any bond or other security, to show any actual damages, or to show that monetary damages would not afford an adequate remedy. The aforementioned equitable relief

19


 

 

shall be in addition to, not in lieu of, legal remedies, monetary damages, or other available forms of relief.

18. Miscellaneous .

 

a.

Nothing in this Agreement will in any way terminate, supersede, undermine, or otherwise modify the at-will status of the employment relationship between me and Analogic, pursuant to which either the Corporation or I may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice.

 

b.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the jurisdiction in which I work.  The failure of Analogic to enforce its rights under this Agreement at any time shall not be construed as a waiver of such rights.  In the event that any one or more of the provisions, or portions thereof, contained or referenced in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such circumstances shall not affect any other provision hereof and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and be construed as if such provision, to the extent that it is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, had never been contained herein. I consent to the jurisdiction of the Massachusetts courts in connection with any dispute or action that arises out of this Agreement.

 

c.

Analogic may assign its rights hereunder in connection with a transfer of all or any part of its business operations or otherwise to any affiliate, subsidiary, parent, or successor of Analogic of all or part of the business; however, any corporate parents, subsidiaries, or affiliates of Analogic, which are benefited by this Agreement, may enforce this Agreement without need for any assignment of this Agreement.

 

d.

This Agreement shall be binding upon me, my heirs, executors, assigns, and administrators and shall inure to the benefit of Analogic, its successors and assigns.

 

e.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between me and Analogic related to the subject matter herein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement does not purport to set forth all of the terms and conditions of my employment, and, as an employee of Analogic, I have obligations to Analogic which are not described in this Agreement.  However, the terms of this Agreement govern over any such terms that are inconsistent with this Agreement, and supersede the terms of any similar form that I may have previously signed.

Exhibit B

NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT

This Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made between Analogic Corporation (the “Company”), and Brooks West (“Executive”).

In consideration of the employment of Executive by the Company, Executive and the Company agree as follows:

1. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation .  While Executive is employed by the Company and for a period of one year after the cessation of such employment for any reason, Executive will not directly or indirectly:

(a) Engage or assist others in engaging in any business or enterprise (whether as owner, partner, officer, director, employee, consultant, investor, lender or otherwise, except as the holder of not more than 1% of the outstanding stock of a publicly-held company) that (i) is competitive with the business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including but not limited to any business or enterprise that develops, manufactures, markets, licenses, sells or provides any product or service that competes with any product or service developed, manufactured, marketed, licensed, sold or provided, or planned to be developed, manufactured, marketed, licensed, sold or provided, by the Company or any of its subsidiaries while Executive was employed by the Company, and (ii) conducts business in any territory in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries conducts business, or plans to conduct business, at the time Executive ceases to be employed by the Company; or

 

(b) Either alone or in association with others, solicit, divert or take away, or attempt to divert or take away, the business or patronage of any of the clients, customers, or business partners of the Company or any of its subsidiaries which were contacted, solicited, or served by the Company or any of its subsidiaries during the 12-month period prior to the cessation of Executive’s employment with the Company; or

(c) Either alone or in association with others (i) solicit, induce or attempt to induce, any employee or independent contractor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate his or her employment or other engagement with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (ii) hire, or recruit or attempt to hire, or engage or attempt to engage as an independent contractor, any person who was employed or otherwise engaged by the Company or any of its subsidiaries at any time during the term of Executive’s employment with the Company; provided , that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the recruitment or hiring or other engagement of any individual whose employment or other engagement with the Company or any of its subsidiaries has been terminated for a period of six months or longer, or, in the case of an independent contractor, if engaging such independent contractor would not interfere with such independent contractor’s provision of services to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

 

(d) Extension .  If Executive violates the provisions of any of the preceding paragraphs of this Section 1, Executive shall continue to be bound by the restrictions set forth in such paragraph until a period of one year has expired without any violation of such provisions.

21


 

 

 

2. Miscellaneous .

 

(a) Equitable Remedies .  Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Agreement are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and its subsidiaries and are considered by Executive to be reasonable for such purpose.  Executive agrees that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement is likely to cause the Company and its subsidiaries substantial and irrevocable damage which is difficult to measure.  Therefore, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, Executive agrees that the Company, in addition to such other remedies which may be available, shall have the right to obtain an injunction from a court restraining such a breach or threatened breach without posting a bond and the right to specific performance of the provisions of this Agreement and Executive hereby waives the adequacy of a remedy at law as a defense to such relief.

 

(b) Obligations to Third Parties .  Executive acknowledges and represents that this Agreement and Executive’s employment with the Company will not violate any continuing obligation Executive has to any former employer or other third party.

 

(c) Disclosure of this Agreement .  Executive hereby authorizes the Company to notify others, including but not limited to customers of the Company and any of its subsidiaries and any of Executive’s future employers or prospective business associates, of the terms and existence of this Agreement and Executive’s continuing obligations hereunder.

 

(d) Not Employment Contract .  Executive acknowledges that this Agreement does not constitute a contract of employment, does not imply that the Company will continue his employment for any period of time and does not change the at-will nature of his employment.

 

(e) Successors and Assigns .  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of both parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any corporation with which, or into which, the Company may be merged or which may succeed to the Company’s assets or business, provided, however, that the obligations of Executive are personal and shall not be assigned by him.  Executive expressly consents to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement for the benefit of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof to whose employ Executive may be transferred without the necessity that this Agreement be re-signed at the time of such transfer.

 

(f) Interpretation .  If any restriction set forth in Section 1 is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because it extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it may be enforceable.

 

(g) Severability .  In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall in no way be affected or impaired thereby.

(i) Governing Law .  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (without reference to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof).  Any action, suit, or other legal proceeding which is commenced to resolve any matter arising under or relating to any provision of this Agreement shall be commenced only in a court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (or, if appropriate, a federal court located within Massachusetts), and the Company and Executive each consents to the jurisdiction of such a court.  THE COMPANY AND EXECUTIVE EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

(j) Entire Agreement; Amendment .  This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, between Executive and the Company relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.  This Agreement may not be modified, changed or discharged in whole or in part, except by an agreement in writing signed by Executive and the Company.  Executive agrees that any change or changes in his duties, salary or compensation after the signing of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement.

 

(k) Captions .  The captions of the sections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and in no way define, limit or affect the scope or substance of any section of this Agreement.
