Analogic Corporation Announces Revenues and Earnings for Its Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 2005.

PEABODY, Mass. -- Analogic Corporation (NASDAQ: ALOG), a leading designer and manufacturer of high-precision health and security imaging equipment, today announced revenues and earnings for its fourth quarter and twelve-month period ended July 31, 2005.

Revenues for the fourth quarter ended July 31, 2005, were $101,998,000, compared with the prior year's fourth-quarter revenues of $102,235,000, a decrease of $237,000. Net income for the fourth quarter was $4,287,000, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared with $3,904,000, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the prior year's fourth quarter. Security systems shipments increased substantially over the prior year's fourth quarter, and the Company had increased sales of medical Computed Tomography (CT) and clinical ultrasound systems, as well as continued growth in the sales of high-performance subsystems for CT and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Sales of cardiac information management, Digital Radiography (DR), embedded multicomputing, and patient monitoring systems were down from the same quarter a year earlier.

Revenues for the twelve months ended July 31, 2005, were $364,571,000, compared with the prior year's revenues of $355,557,000, an increase of $9,014,000 or 2.5%. Net income for the twelve-month period was $28,862,000, or $2.12 per diluted share, compared with $8,354,000, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago, an increase of $20,508,000 or 245%.

During the fiscal year, the Company recorded a gain of $43,829,000 from the sale of its 14.6% equity interest in Cedara Software Corporation of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. The net income attributable to the sale of these marketable securities was $27,388,000, or $2.01 per diluted share. The Company also recorded pre-tax asset writedowns of $6,599,000 during fiscal 2005 related to its medical technology business resulting from the writedown of certain investments to their net realizable values and the abandonment of certain technologies due to realignment of the Company's marketing, research, and development activities. The net loss attributable to these pretax asset writedowns was approximately $4,800,000, or $0.35 per diluted share.

BUSINESS UPDATE

John Wood, Analogic President and CEO, said, "Our medical subsystems business for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) continued to grow substantially in fiscal 2005. We shipped increasing numbers of innovative Data Acquisition Systems (DASs) for CT, and of a new generation of Radio Frequency (RF) amplifiers for MRI systems. Both of these businesses are demonstrating the initial impact of our increased research and development efforts over the past several years. Our medical CT system business began a resurgence this year, as shipments increased. The investment in CT R&D also led directly to an agreement with a well known international OEM to develop a new family of multi-slice CT systems for them, which we expect to begin shipping in late fiscal 2006. Ultrasound systems shipments were also up for the year.

"On the security side of our business, shipments to L-3 Communications almost doubled over the prior year, as we saw a steady, more predictable order rate. L-3 is continuing to deploy advanced Explosives Detection Systems (EDSs) in U.S. airports and has been very successful in generating new orders abroad."

Digital radiography revenues have not yet met expectations. DR shipments by our ANEXA subsidiary were below projections, due essentially to delays in obtaining a key subsystem for its new flagship SyneRad(TM) OMNI Digital Radiography system. The first OMNI production units began shipping this month. A number of radiologists and physicists outside the Company who have evaluated images from the OMNI believe them to be the best in the industry.

Patient monitoring revenues were down, as expected, due to a shift in OEM customer product emphasis, as were embedded multicomputing system revenues. Sales of cardiac information and image management systems were also substantially lower, as anticipated, in good part because of market uncertainty following the need to restate Camtronics' revenues during the prior fiscal year. A new management team was put in place at Camtronics during the year and has produced continuous improvement in revenue over the past two quarters.

As expected, operating costs were up over the previous year due primarily to increased administrative costs associated with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and the Company's prior year financial restatement related to Camtronics' software revenue recognition issues.

Considerable progress was made in a number of areas during the fourth quarter. The Company received a $36,000,000 order for EXACT(TM) systems that is now scheduled for completion in June 2006. The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) certified an upgrade kit developed by Analogic with a leading OEM for EDS systems already deployed in the field. Prototypes of the upgrade are expected to go into field trials later this calendar year and the kit be put into production during the second half of the fiscal year. Significant progress was also made on a next-generation EDS system that is being developed in part with a grant from the TSA. Work also continues on a revolutionary EDS system targeted for delivery in a 2011 timeframe. In July, Wood testified before a Congressional Committee on leveraging technology to improve aviation security. There appeared to be strong congressional support for deploying advanced technology to improve detection capabilities and reduce costs.

Analogic's COBRA(TM) Checkpoint Security System was placed into a field trial at Boston's Logan International Airport during the quarter, where it clearly demonstrated its superior detection capabilities while gathering technical data on 37,000 bags in real field conditions. Pilot units are expected to be placed in several locations, including overseas, in the near future.

Working with VisEn Medical, a pioneer in the field of optical molecular imaging, Analogic has developed a Fluorescent Molecular Tomography (FMT) system that can detect biological processes at the molecular level. Preproduction units have been installed at several top-tier pharmaceutical and academic institutions in the U.S. and Europe. The unit is expected to go into production later this year.

During the quarter, Analogic announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for its new LIFEGARD(TM) II non-invasive patient and specialty monitors, which will begin shipping this quarter.

"We made considerable progress this year," Wood concluded. "Over the past several years we have invested heavily in research and development on both medical and security products. Development of new, innovative CT data acquisition systems is expanding our capabilities and our opportunities in both medical and security CT. We are developing new CT systems for niche markets, and at PhotoDetection Systems work continues on an advanced Positron Emission Tomography (PET) system, which employs an innovative new detector technology and can be combined with an Analogic CT for a new generation of hybrid PET/CTs. We are working on a new family of ultrasound scanners, and a unique ultrasound mammography system that is now producing its first clinical images.

"Working with Sanders Design Inc., progress has been made in the development of an advanced InfraRed Counter Measures (IRCM) system to protect civilian aircraft from shoulder-fired missiles. Though much remains to be done, we believe this patented technology has significant potential. With continued, aggressive development of a variety of new, high-performance medical and security products, we believe that the Company is setting a strong foundation for long-term growth as The World Resource for Health and Security Technology."

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Company has concluded that deficiencies in the controls and procedures related to software revenue recognition at its Camtronics subsidiary continue to constitute a "material weakness," as defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's Auditing Standard No. 2.

As a result of this material weakness at Camtronics, management has concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of July 31, 2005, and expects that the Company's independent registered public accounting firm will reach the same conclusion in its audit report on the Company's internal control over financial reporting. The management report on internal control over financial reporting will be included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K, which will be filed in October 2005.

"We have made good progress in fiscal year 2005 in addressing and resolving the control deficiencies related to software revenue recognition procedures," Wood said. "We are continuing our efforts to remediate these deficiencies and are confident that we will bring this matter to final resolution during fiscal year 2006."
