DEL GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Del Global Technologies Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been included.  Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.  These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2007.  Certain prior year’s amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
 
The Company’s fiscal year-end is based on a 52/53-week cycle ending on the Saturday nearest to July 31.  Results of the Company’s subsidiary, Villa Sistemi Medicali S.p.A. (“Villa”), are consolidated into Del Global’s consolidated financial statements based on a fiscal year that ends on June 30 and are reported on a one-month lag.
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment, provided there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, there are no uncertainties concerning acceptance, the sales price is fixed, collection of the receivable is probable and only perfunctory obligations related to the arrangement need to be completed.  The Company maintains a sales return allowance, based upon historical patterns, to cover estimated normal course of business returns, including defective or out of specification product.  The Company’s products are covered primarily by one year warranty plans and in some cases optional extended warranties for up to five years are offered.  The Company establishes allowances for warranties on an aggregate basis for specifically identified, as well as anticipated, warranty claims based on contractual terms, product conditions and actual warranty experience by product line.  The Company recognizes service revenue when repairs or out of warranty repairs are completed.  The Company has a Food & Drug Administration obligation to continue to provide repair service for certain medical systems for up to seven years past the warranty period.  These repairs are billed to the customers at market rates.
 
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS No. 133.  The Statement requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities.  The Statement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.  The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS 161, but does not expect it to have a material impact.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements--an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 requires identification and presentation of ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the Company in the consolidated financial statements within the equity section but separate from the equity owned by the Company.  SFAS 160 also requires that (1) the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of operations, (2) changes in ownership interest be accounted for similarly, as equity transactions (3) and when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary and the gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary be measured at fair value. This statement is effective for the Company on August 2, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS 160 but does not expect it to have a material impact.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”).  SFAS 141R states that acquisition-related costs are to be recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred with restructuring costs being expensed in periods after the acquisition date. SFAS 141R also states that business combinations will result in all assets and liabilities of the acquired business being recorded at their fair values. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 141R effective August 2, 2009. The impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 141R will depend on the nature and extent of business combinations occurring on or after the effective date.
 
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (“SFAS 157”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information.  Portions of this statement are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, while others have been deferred until fiscal 2009.  The Company has not evaluated the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its financial statements at this time.

In February 2007, the FASB released SFAS No. 159, “Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”).  This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those years.  The Company has not evaluated the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on its financial statements at this time.
 
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”— an interpretation of SFAS No. 109.  FIN 48 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination.  As used in this Interpretation, the term “more likely than not” means a likelihood of more than 50 percent.  The terms “examined” and “upon examination” also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any.  The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is to be determined based on the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date.
 
FIN 48 was adopted by the Company beginning July 29, 2007.  The adoption of FIN 48 did not have any impact on the Company’s statement of financial position or on its results of operations.
 
The Company’s primary income tax jurisdictions are in the United States and Italy.  The Company is currently not under audit in either jurisdiction.  Tax years since 2003 are open pursuant to statutes in Italy and tax years since 2004 are open pursuant to statutes in the Unites States.
 
It is the Company’s practice to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in tax expense.  As of April 26, 2008, there were no material interest or penalty amounts to accrue.
 
INVENTORIES
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.  Inventories and their effect on cost of sales are determined by physical count for annual reporting purposes and are evaluated using perpetual inventory records for interim reporting periods.  For certain subsidiaries during interim periods, the Company estimates the amount of labor and overhead costs related to finished goods inventories.  As of April 26, 2008, finished goods represented approximately 22.3% of the gross carrying value of our total gross inventory.  The Company believes the estimation methodologies used to be appropriate and are consistently applied.
 
Inventories at April 26, 2008 and July 28, 2007 is as follows:
 
   
April 26, 2008

Less allowance for obsolete and excess inventories
    (4,278 )     (3,869 )
Total inventories
  $ 20,996     $ 21,930  

PRODUCT WARRANTIES
 
The Company’s products are covered primarily by one-year warranty plans and in some cases optional extended contracts may be offered covering products for periods up to five years, depending upon the product and contractual terms of sale.  The Company establishes allowances for warranties on an aggregate basis for specifically identified, as well as anticipated, warranty claims based on contractual terms, product conditions and actual warranty experience by product line.

The liability related to warranties is included in accrued expenses on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
 
The Company’s foreign subsidiary operates in Italy.  Italy recently enacted legislation which reduces tax rates effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2009.  The quarter ended January 26, 2008 income tax expense included a charge to reduce the carrying value of the foreign subsidiary’s net deferred income tax assets resulting from the income tax rate reduction.
 
Additionally, the Company’s deferred income tax liabilities had included the estimated tax obligation which would be incurred upon a distribution of the foreign subsidiary’s earnings to its US parent.  This tax liability had been recorded as the foreign subsidiary has routinely distributed monies to the US parent.  Based on current operating results, expectations of future results and available cash and credit in the US, the Company has determined it no longer intends to repatriate monies in the foreseeable future and has reversed this tax obligation.  This reversal resulted in a reduction in tax expense for the fiscal quarter ended January 26, 2008.
 
The net impact of these two tax adjustments was a $0.1 million benefit recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2008.
 
GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT
 
Due primarily to continued operating results below planned levels and management’s resulting revaluation of its strategic plan for the Company’s domestic Medical Systems Group’s reporting unit, the Company completed a special assessment of the reporting unit’s goodwill realization.  The Company’s scheduled assessment of goodwill is during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.
 
As part of its assessment, the Company estimated the fair value of the reporting unit based on internal cash flows expected to be earned by the business and an appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate.  While such estimates are subject to significant uncertainties and actual results could be materially different, the analysis resulted, pursuant to the implementation guidance of FASB No. 142, Accounting for Goodwill and Intangible Assets, in a complete impairment of the unit’s goodwill balance.  Accordingly, the Company recorded a $1,911 impairment charge during the third quarter of fiscal 2008.
 
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
 
Comprehensive income for the Company includes foreign currency translation adjustments and net income reported in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

SHORT-TERM CREDIT FACILITIES AND LONG-TERM DEBT
 
On August 1, 2005, the Company entered into a three-year revolving credit and term loan facility with North Fork Business Capital (the “North Fork Facility”) and repaid the prior facility.  During the first nine months of 2007, an average of $1,382 was outstanding under this facility.  In March 2007, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the Rights Offering described below to pay all outstanding balances under this facility as well as $2,505 of subordinated notes then outstanding and $146 in related interest.
 
On June 1, 2007, the North Fork Facility was amended and restated.  As restated, the North Fork Facility provides for a $7,500 formula based revolving credit facility based on the Company’s eligible accounts receivable and inventory as defined in the credit agreement and a capital expenditure loan facility up to $1,500.  Interest on the revolving credit and capital expenditure borrowings is payable at prime plus 0.5% or alternatively at a LIBOR rate plus 2.5%.  Other changes to the terms and conditions of the original loan agreement include the modification of covenants, removal of the Villa stock as loan collateral and the removal of daily collateral reporting which was part of the previous asset-based facility requirements.
 
As of April 26, 2008 and July 28, 2007, no amounts were outstanding and the Company had approximately $9,000 of availability under the North Fork Facility, of which North Fork has reserved $1,000 against possible litigation settlements.
 
The North Fork Facility is subject to commitment fees of 0.5% per annum on the daily-unused portion of the facility, payable monthly.  The Company granted a security interest to the lender on its US credit facility in substantially all of its accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, other assets and intellectual property in the US.
 
 
As of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company was non-compliant with the tangible net worth covenant under the North Fork Facility.  On December 6, 2006, North Fork waived the non-compliance with this covenant for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and adjusted the covenant levels going forward through the maturity of the credit facility.  As of April 26, 2008 and July 28, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the North Fork Facility.
 
The Company received a dividend from its Villa subsidiary in October 2006 of approximately $1,560, which was used to pay down amounts outstanding under the North Fork Facility, in accordance with provisions of the facility.
 
The Company’s Villa subsidiary maintains short term credit facilities which are renewed annually with Italian banks.  Currently, these facilities are not being utilized and the balance due at April 26, 2008 is $0.  Interest rates on these facilities are variable and currently range from 3.7% – 13.75%.
 
Long term debt at April 26, 2008 and July 28, 2007 is summarized as follows:

In October 2006, Villa entered into a 1.0 million Euro loan for financing of research and development projects, with an option for an additional 1 million Euro upon completion of 50% of the projects.  In April 2008, the Company renounced the option for additional financing and demonstrated successful completion of the project triggering a more favorable interest rate.  Interest, previously payable at Euribor 3 months plus 1.3 points, 5.917% as of April 26, 2008, was reduced in the fourth quarter of fiscal  2008 to Euribor plus 1.04 points.  The note is repayable over a 7 year term, with reimbursement starting in September 2008.  The note contains a financial covenant which provides that the net equity of Villa cannot fall below 5.0 million Euros.  This covenant could limit Villa’s ability to pay dividends to the US parent company in the event future losses, future dividends or other events should cause Villa’s equity to fall below the defined level.
 
In December 2006, Villa entered into a 1.0 million Euro loan with interest payable at Euribor 3 months plus 0.95 points, 5.677% as of April 26, 2008.  The loan is repayable in 4 years.
 
Villa is also party to two Italian government long-term loans with a fixed interest rate of 3.425% with principal payable annually through maturity in February and September 2010.  At April 26, 2008, total principal due is 0.6 million Euro.  Villa’s manufacturing facility is subject to a capital lease obligation which matures in 2011 with an option to purchase.  Villa is in compliance with all related financial covenants under these short and long-term financings.

STOCK OPTION PLAN AND WARRANTS
 
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company granted options to purchase 84,000 shares of common stock under the 2007 Incentive Stock Plan at an exercise price of $2.60 per share.  During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company granted options to purchase 212,500 common shares under the 2007 Incentive Stock Plan at a weighted average exercise price of $2.72 per share.  The options under these grants vest 25% immediately and 25% per year over the next three years.  The aggregate fair value of these options was $556.  The fair values of the grants awarded were determined using the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes model: an estimated life of seven years, volatility of approximately 67% to 72%, risk free interest rate of 3.6% to 4.20% and the assumption that no dividends will be paid.  There were no stock options granted during the second quarter of fiscal 2008.
 
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company granted options to purchase 335,000 common shares under the Del Global Technologies Corp. Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (the “1994 Plan”) at a weighted average exercise price of $1.45 per share.  During the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company granted options to purchase 75,000 common shares under the 1994 Plan at a weighted average exercise price of $1.96 per share.  These shares vested 25% immediately and 25% per year over the next three years.  During the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company granted options to purchase 39,000 shares of common stock under the 2007 Incentive Stock Plan at an exercise price of $2.11 per share that vest over four years.  The aggregate fair value of these options was $386.  The fair values of the grants awarded were determined using the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes model: an estimated life of seven years, volatility of approximately 63% to 71%, risk free interest rate of 4.49% to 4.75% and the assumption that no dividends will be paid.
 
In the third quarter of fiscal 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded $127 and $59, respectively, of compensation expense related to stock options.  In the nine months ended April 26, 2008 and April 28, 2007, the Company recorded $382 and $167, respectively, of compensation expense related to stock options.  No stock options were granted during the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

CONTINGENCIES
 
EMPLOYMENT MATTERS - The Company had an employment agreement with Samuel Park, a previous Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), for the period May 1, 2001 to April 30, 2004.  The employment agreement provided for certain payments in the event of a change in the control of the Company.  On October 10, 2003, the Company announced the appointment of Walter F. Schneider as President and CEO to replace Mr. Park, effective as of such date.  As a result, the Company recorded a charge of $200 during the first quarter of fiscal 2004 to accrue the balance remaining under Mr. Park’s employment agreement.
 
The Company’s employment agreement with Mr. Park provided for payments upon certain changes in control.  The Company’s Board of Directors elected at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 29, 2003, had reviewed the “change of control” provisions regarding payments totaling up to approximately $1,800 under the employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Park.  As a result of this review and based upon, among other things, the advice of special counsel, the Company’s Board of Directors has determined that no obligation to pay these amounts has been triggered.  Prior to his departure from the Company on October 10, 2003, Mr. Park orally informed the Company that, after reviewing the matter with his counsel, he believed that the obligation to pay these amounts has been triggered.  On October 27, 2003, the Company received a letter from Mr. Park’s counsel demanding payment of certain sums and other consideration pursuant to the Company’s employment agreement with Mr. Park, including these change of control payments.  On November 17, 2003, the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, against Mr. Park seeking a declaratory judgment that no change in control payment was or is due to Mr. Park, and that an amendment to the employment contract with Mr. Park regarding advancement and reimbursement of legal fees is invalid and unenforceable.  Mr. Park answered the complaint and asserted counterclaims seeking payment from the Company based on his position that a “change in control” occurred in June 2003.  Mr. Park is also seeking other consideration he believes he is owed under his employment agreement.  The Company filed a reply to Mr. Park’s counterclaims denying that he is entitled to any of these payments.  Discovery in this matter was conducted and completed.  Following discovery, the Company and Mr. Park filed motions for summary judgment on the issues related to the change in control and the amendment to the employment agreement, which motions have been fully submitted to the court for consideration.  To date, no decision has been issued by the court on these motions.  If Mr. Park prevails on his claims and the payments he seeks are required to be paid in a lump sum, these payments may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity.  It is not possible to predict the outcome of these claims.  However, the Company’s Board of Directors does not believe that such a claim is reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in the Company’s liquidity in the foreseeable future.  The Company has not recorded an accrual for any potential settlements of this claim as it has no basis upon which to estimate either the outcome or amount of loss, if any.
 
On June 28, 2002, Jeffrey N. Moeller, the former Director of Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs of Del Medical, commenced an action in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, against the Company, Del Medical and Walter Schneider, the former President of Del Medical.  In the most current iteration of his complaint, the third amended complaint, Mr. Moeller alleged four claims against the defendants in the action: for (1) retaliatory discharge from employment with Del Medical, allegedly in response to Mr. Moeller’s complaints to officers of Del Medical about purported prebilling and his stopping shipment of a product that allegedly did not meet regulatory standards, (2) defamation, (3) intentional interference with his employment relationship with Del Medical and prospective employers, and (4) to hold the Company liable for any misconduct of Del Medical under a theory of piercing the corporate veil.  In their answer to the third amended complaint, the defendants denied the substantive allegations of each of these claims and denied that they have any liability to Mr. Moeller.  By order dated September 15, 2006, the Court denied in part and granted in part defendants’ motion requesting summary judgment dismissing the third amended complaint.  The court granted the motion only to the extent of dismissing that part of Mr. Moeller’s claim of interference with his employment relationship with Del Medical and his relationship with prospective employers.
 
In fiscal 2007, the Company recorded an accrual of $0.1 million relating to potential liability in the settlement of these claims.  The parties appeared for mediation in January 2007 but the mediation did not result in a disposition of the action.A trial was held in April 2008 and on April 17, 2008, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Mr. Moeller for $1.8 million for lost earnings, back pay, front pay and benefits on the retaliatory discharge claim, and $200,000 for emotional distress/reputation damages and $200,000 in punitive damages on the defamation claim.  The Company intends to vigorously pursue available post-trial remedies, including appeal.  On May 19, 2008, counsel for the defendants filed their motion for judgment in their favor notwithstanding the jury verdict, or, alternatively, for a new trial, on those claims on which the jury found the respective defendants liable.  However, as a result of the verdict, the Company adjusted its accrual for potential liability in the settlement of these claims as deemed appropriate.
 
 
Diamond v. Allied Diagnostic Imaging Resources, Inc., et al. (Superior Court, County of Los Angeles; Case No. BC362544). This action is brought against numerous defendants, including the Company. While the action commenced in late 2006, plaintiff first served the summons and complaint on the Company in December 2007. The plaintiff alleges that she is the wife of a chiropractor who died in June 2005. Plaintiff alleges that her husband was exposed to chemical products in developing x-ray films and cleaning film processing machines and worked with the x-ray film processing machines and x-ray machines, and that the defendants manufactured, supplied or serviced the chemical products and machines.  The complaint further alleges that the decedent was exposed to toxic chemicals and radiation from the chemical products used on or in the machines, which caused “serious injuries to his internal organs, including acute myelogenous leukemia”, resulting in his death.
 
The complaint alleges the following six claims against the defendants: (1) negligence in manufacturing. and distributing the chemical products and machines, and servicing the machines, and failing adequately to warn decedent of the hazards of the chemical products and machines, (2) violation of a California statute and regulation by failing to determine whether the chemical products caused health hazards and failing to label or identify in material safety data sheets a health hazard relating to acute myelogenous leukemia, (3) strict products liability for failing to warn adequately of the chemical products’ and machines’ health hazards, (4) strict products liability for defects in the design of the chemical products and machines, (5) fraudulent concealment of the toxic and carcinogenic nature of the chemical products and the machines, and (6) breach of implied warranties as to the fitness of the chemical products and machines for intended uses, merchantability, and lack of defects.
 
While the complaint does not allege a total amount of damages sought, plaintiff alleges that she has suffered damages consisting of medical, funeral, and burial expenses, the decedent’s lost earnings prior to and lost wages after his death, lost benefits after his death, the value of his services in managing his family’s home, and loss of companionship and similar losses. The plaintiff also requests punitive damages.  The Company has not recorded an accrual for any potential settlement of this claim as it has no basis upon which to estimate either the outcome or amount of loss, if any.  In its answer to the complaint, the Company denied the substantive allegations of the complaint and denied that it has any liability to plaintiff.  The Company intends to defend vigorously against plaintiff’s claims.
 
 On May 24, 2007, the Company’s RFI subsidiary was served with a subpoena to testify before a grand jury of the United States District Court of New York and to provide items and records from its Bay Shore NY offices in connection with U.S. Department of Defense contracts.  A search warrant from the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York was issued and executed with respect to such offices.  The Company believes that it is in full compliance with the quality standards that its customers require and is fully cooperating with investigators to assist them with their review.  The Company’s subsidiary is continuing to ship products to the U.S. Government as well as to its commercial customers.
 
In addition, the Company is a defendant in other legal actions arising from the normal course of business in various U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.  Management believes the Company has meritorious defenses to such actions and that the outcomes will not be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
AUTHORIZED SHARES OF THE CORPORATION’S COMMON STOCK
 
At a special meeting of shareholders of the Company held on November 17, 2006, the Company’s shareholders approved an Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (the “Amendment”) to increase the number of authorized shares of the Corporation’s common stock, par value $.10 per share, from twenty million (20,000,000) shares to fifty million (50,000,000) shares  in order to have a  sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide a reserve of shares available for issuance to meet business needs as they may arise in the future. Such business needs may include, without limitation, rights offerings, financings, acquisitions, establishing strategic relationships with corporate partners, providing equity incentives to employees, officers or directors, stock splits or similar transactions.  Issuances of any additional shares for these or other reasons could prove dilutive to current shareholders or deter changes in control of the Company, including transactions where the shareholders could otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices.
 
 
RIGHTS OFFERING AND STOCKHOLDER’S RIGHTS PLAN
 
On December 12, 2006, the Company filed a registration statement for a subscription Rights Offering with the SEC that became effective January 30, 2007.  Under the terms of this Rights Offering, the Company distributed to shareholders of record as of February 5, 2007, non-transferable subscription rights to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock for each share owned at that date at a subscription price of $1.05 per share.  On March 12, 2007, the Company completed the Rights Offering, selling 12,027,378 shares of its common stock at $1.05 per share.  Total proceeds to the Company, net of expenses related to the Rights Offering, were $12,354.
 
The purpose of this Rights Offering was to raise equity capital in a cost-effective manner.  Approximately $7,564 of the proceeds were used for debt repayment and the remainder invested in short-term money market securities for anticipated working capital needs and general corporate purposes.  A portion of the net proceeds may also ultimately be used to acquire or invest in businesses, products and technologies that Company management believes are complementary to the Company’s business.
 
In addition, on January 22, 2007, the Company entered into a stockholders rights plan (the “Rights Plan”).  The Rights Plan provides for a dividend distribution of one Common Stock purchase right for each outstanding share of the Company’s Common Stock.  The Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Rights Plan to protect stockholder value by protecting the Company’s ability to realize the benefits of its net operating losses (“NOLs”) and capital loss carryforwards.  The Company has experienced substantial operating and capital losses in previous years.  Under the Internal Revenue Code and rules promulgated by the IRS, the Company may “carry forward” these losses in certain circumstances to offset current and future earnings and thus reduce its federal income tax liability, subject to certain requirements and restrictions.  Assuming that the Company has future earnings, the Company may be able to realize the benefits of NOLs and capital loss carryforwards.  These NOLs and capital loss carryforwards constitute a substantial asset to the Company.  If the Company experiences an “Ownership Change,” as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, its ability to use the NOLs and capital loss carryforwards could be substantially limited or lost altogether.  In general terms, the Rights Plan imposes a significant penalty upon any person or group that acquires certain percentages of the Company’s common stock by allowing other shareholders to acquire equity securities at half their fair values.
 
Item 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These statements are based on current expectations and the current economic environment.  We caution that these statements are not guarantees of future performance.  They involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict including, but not limited to, our ability to implement our business plan, retention of management, changing industry and competitive conditions, obtaining anticipated operating efficiencies, securing necessary capital facilities and favorable determinations in various legal and regulatory matters.  Actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.  Important assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are specified in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2007 and Current Reports on Form 8-K.
 
OVERVIEW
 
The Company is primarily engaged in the design, manufacture and marketing of cost-effective medical and dental diagnostic imaging systems consisting of stationary and portable imaging systems, radiographic/fluoroscopic systems, dental imaging systems and digital radiography systems.  The Company also manufactures electronic filters, high voltage capacitors, pulse modulators, transformers and reactors, and a variety of other products designed for industrial, medical, military and other commercial applications.  The Company manages its business in two operating segments: the Medical Systems Group and the Power Conversion Group.  In addition, the Company has a third reporting segment, Other, comprised of certain unallocated corporate General and Administrative expenses.  See “Segment Information” in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 26, 2008 (this “Quarterly Report”) for financial information regarding the Company’s segments.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Complete descriptions of significant accounting policies are outlined in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2007.  Within these policies, the Company has identified the accounting for deferred tax assets, the allowance for obsolete and excess inventory and goodwill as being critical accounting policies due to the significant amount of estimates involved.  In addition, for interim periods, the Company has identified the valuation of finished goods inventory as being critical due to the amount of estimates involved.
 
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment, provided there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, there are no uncertainties concerning acceptance, the sale price is fixed, collection of the receivable is probable and only perfunctory obligations related to the arrangement need to be completed.  The Company maintains a sales return allowance, based upon historical patterns, to cover estimated normal course of business returns, including defective or out of specification product.  The Company’s products are covered primarily by one year warranty plans and in some cases optional extended warranties for up to five years are offered.  The Company establishes allowances for warranties on an aggregate basis for specifically identified, as well as anticipated, warranty claims based on contractual terms, product conditions and actual warranty experience by product line.  The Company recognizes service revenue when repairs or out of warranty repairs are completed.  The Company has an FDA obligation to continue to provide repair service for certain medical systems for up to seven years past the warranty period.  These repairs are billed to the customers at market rates.
 
Deferred Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for deferred income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” whereby it recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between financial reporting basis and income tax basis and for net operating loss carryforwards.
 
The Company periodically assesses the realization of its net deferred income tax assets.  This evaluation is primarily based upon current operating results and expectations of future operating results.  A valuation allowance is recorded if the Company believes its net deferred income tax assets will not be realized.  The Company’s determination is based on what it believes will be the more likely than not result.
 
During fiscal year 2007, the Company recorded operating income on a consolidated basis.  For tax reporting purposes, the Company’s foreign tax reporting entity was profitable and its US tax reporting entities incurred a taxable loss.  Based on these results and expectations of future results, the Company concluded that it should maintain a 100% valuation allowance on its net U.S. deferred income tax assets.  For the quarter ended April 26, 2008, the Company continues to carry a 100% valuation allowance on its net U.S. deferred income tax asset.
 
The Company recorded a tax expense with respect to its foreign subsidiary’s income in all periods presented and based on a more likely than not standard, believes that the foreign subsidiary’s net deferred income tax assets at April 26, 2008 will be realized.
 
The Company’s foreign subsidiary operates in Italy.  Italy recently enacted legislation which reduces tax rates effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2009.  The fiscal quarter ended January 26, 2008 income tax expense included a charge to reduce the carrying value of the foreign subsidiary’s net deferred income tax assets resulting from the income tax rate reduction.
 
Additionally, the Company’s deferred income tax liabilities had included the estimated tax obligation which would be incurred upon a distribution of the foreign subsidiary’s earnings to its US parent.  This tax liability had been recorded as the foreign subsidiary has routinely distributed monies to the US parent.  Based on current operating results, expectations of future results and available cash and credit in the US, the Company has determined it no longer intends to repatriate monies in the foreseeable future and has reversed this tax obligation.  This reversal resulted in a reduction in tax expense for the fiscal quarter ended January 26, 2008.
 
The net impact of these two tax adjustments on the results of the fiscal quarter ended January 26, 2008 was a $0.1 million benefit.
 
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), which is an interpretation of SFAS No. 109.  FIN 48 requires that the Company  recognize the financial statement effects of an income tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination.  As used in this Interpretation, the term “more likely than not” means a likelihood of more than 50 percent.  The term “upon examination” includes resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any.  The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is to be determined based on the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date.
 
FIN 48 was adopted by the Company beginning July 29, 2007.  The adoption of FIN 48 did not have any impact on the Company’s statement of financial position or on its results of operations.
 
 
The Company’s primary income tax jurisdictions are in the United States and Italy.  The Company is currently not under audit in either jurisdiction.  Tax years since 2003 are open pursuant to statutes in Italy and tax years since 2004 are open pursuant to statutes in the United States.
 
It is the Company’s practice to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in tax expense.  As of April 26, 2008, there were no material interest or penalty amounts to accrue.
 
Obsolete and excess inventory
 
We re-evaluate our allowance for obsolete inventory once a quarter, and this allowance comprises the most significant portion of our inventory reserves.  The re-evaluation of reserves is based on a written policy, which requires at a minimum that reserves be established based on our analysis of historical actual usage on a part-by-part basis.  In addition, if management learns of specific obsolescence in addition to this minimum formula, these additional reserves will be recognized as well.  Specific obsolescence might arise due to a technological or market change, or based on cancellation of an order.  As we typically do not purchase inventory substantially in advance of production requirements, we do not expect cancellation of an order to be a material risk.  However, market or technology changes can occur.
 
Valuation of finished goods inventories
 
In addition, we use certain estimates in determining interim operating results.  The most significant estimates in interim reporting relate to the valuation of finished goods inventories.  For certain subsidiaries, for interim periods, we estimate the amount of labor and overhead costs related to finished goods inventories.  As of April 26, 2008, finished goods represented approximately 22.3% of the gross carrying value of our total gross inventory.  We believe the estimation methodologies used to be appropriate and are consistently applied.
 
Goodwill
 
The Company’s goodwill is subject to, at a minimum, an annual fourth fiscal quarter impairment assessment of its carrying value. Goodwill impairment is deemed to exist if the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. Estimated fair values of the reporting units are estimated using an earnings model and a discounted cash flow valuation model. The discounted cash flow model incorporates the Company’s estimates of future cash flows, future growth rates and management’s judgment regarding the applicable discount rates used to discount those estimated cash flows.
 
Due primarily to continued operating results below planned levels and management’s resulting revaluation of its strategic plan for the Company’s domestic Medical Systems Group’s reporting unit, the Company completed a special assessment of the reporting unit’s goodwill realization.  The Company’s scheduled assessment of goodwill is during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.
 
As part of its assessment, the Company estimated the fair value of the reporting unit based on internal cash flows expected to be earned by the business and an appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate.  While such estimates are subject to significant uncertainties and actual results could be materially different, the analysis resulted, pursuant to the implementation guidance of FASB No. 142, Accounting for Goodwill and Intangible Assets, in a complete impairment of the unit’s goodwill balance.  Accordingly, the Company recorded a $1,911 impairment charge during the third quarter of fiscal 2008.
 
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Three Months and Nine Months Ended April 26, 2008 Compared to Three Months and Nine Months Ended April 28, 2007
 
Consolidated net sales of $24.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 decreased by $2.7 million or 9.9 % from fiscal 2007 third quarter net sales of $27.1 million due primarily to lower sales in our Medical Systems Group.  The Medical Systems Group’s third quarter fiscal 2008 sales of $20.9 million were $2.3 million or 9.8% lower than the prior year’s third quarter with decreases primarily due to decreased international sales volume and reduced sales of the domestic digital product line.  The Power Conversion Group’s sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 of $3.5 million were approximately $0.4 less than prior year’s sales due to reduced bookings in the current period.
 
Consolidated net sales of $81.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 increased by $7.9 million or 10.8% from fiscal 2007 net sales of $73.2 million, due to increased sales in our Medical Systems Group.  The Medical Systems Group’s sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 of $72.2 million increased $8.5 million or 13.4% from the prior year’s first nine months.  Net sales increases were primarily driven by increased international sales volume of several medical system product lines, particularly the Apollo line, offset by reduced sales of the domestic digital product line as noted above.  The Power Conversion Group’s sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 of $8.9 million were approximately $0.6 less than prior year’s sales for the same period due to reduced sales bookings in the current period.
 
 
Consolidated backlog at April 26, 2008 was $28.1 million versus backlog at July 28, 2007 of approximately $28.4 million.  The backlog in the Power Conversion Group of $7.0 million increased $0.4 million from levels at the beginning of the fiscal year, while there was a $0.7 million decrease in the third quarter backlog of the Company’s Medical Systems segment from July 28, 2007, reflecting lower bookings during the nine month period in international markets.  Substantially all of the backlog should result in shipments within the next 12 to 15 months.
 
Gross margins as a percent of sales were 23.4% for the third quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to 22.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2007.  The Power Conversion Group’s margins for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 were 40.3%, versus 37.7% in the prior year quarter, reflecting increased margins in product mix and decreased production costs.  For the Medical Systems Group, third quarter of fiscal 2008 gross margins of 20.5% were higher than gross margins of 19.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 due primarily to increased sales in the Del legacy product lines which have lower selling prices but greater gross margins.
 
Gross margins as a percent of sales were 24.2% for the first nine months of fiscal 2008, compared to 22.9% for the first nine months of fiscal 2007, due to increased margins in product mix and decreased production costs at the Power Conversion Group and increased sales in the Del legacy product lines at the Medical Systems Group, which have lower selling prices but greater gross margins, offset by lower margins associated with increased sales returns in the Medical Systems Group.
 
Research and development expenses (“R&D”) for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 were $0.7 million (2.8% of sales) compared to $0.5 million (2.0% of sales) in the prior year’s third quarter.  The increase is primarily due to increased international development efforts during the third quarter of fiscal 2008.
 
R&D expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 were $1.8 million (2.2% of sales) compared to $1.5 million (2.1% of sales) in the prior year’s first nine months is primarily due to international product development efforts as noted above.
 
Selling, General and Administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 were $4.3 million (18.0% of sales) compared to $3.5 million (12.8% of sales) in the prior year’s third quarter.  The increase is primarily due to increased business acquisition expenses, higher stock based compensation expenses related to increased volume of stock options issued/vesting during the third quarter of fiscal 2008 and legal expenses related to the Moeller case discussed elsewhere in this report.
 
SG&A for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 were $12.3 million (15.0% of sales) compared to $10.5 million (14.3% of sales) in the prior year’s first nine months.  The increase is primarily due to higher stock based compensation expenses related to increased volume of stock options vesting during the nine months of fiscal 2008, legal expenses related to the Moeller case discussed elsewhere in this document and increased business acquisition expenses.
 
As discussed above, during the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment loss of $1.9 million on the carrying value of the goodwill of the Medical Systems Group’s U.S. medical business.
 
As a result of the above, the Company recognized a third quarter fiscal 2008 operating loss of $(1,3) million compared to operating income of $2.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007.  The Medical Systems Group posted a third quarter fiscal 2008 operating loss of $2.1 million and the Power Conversion Group showed operating profit of $0.8 million, offset by unallocated corporate costs of $0.1 million.  The Medical Systems Group posted a third quarter fiscal 2007 operating profit of $1.3 million and the Power Conversion Group showed operating profit of $0.9 million, offset by unallocated corporate costs of $0.2 million.
 
Operating income for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 was $3.6 million compared to an operating income of $4.8 million in the prior year period.  The Medical Systems Group had an operating profit of $3.0 million and the Power Conversion Group achieved an operating profit of $1.4 million, offset by unallocated corporate costs of $0.8 million.  The Medical Systems Group had an operating profit of $4.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 and the Power Conversion Group achieved an operating profit of $1.5 million, offset by unallocated corporate costs of $1.2 million.
 
 
Net interest expense of $0.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was $0.1 million lower than the prior year’s third quarter due to a reduction in borrowings resulting from the paydown of US based debt with proceeds of a March 2007 Rights Offering, partially offset by additional borrowings in Italy to support its day-to-day operations.
 
Interest expense for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 of $0.2 million was lower than the prior year’s first nine months by $0.9 million for the same reasons.
 
On a consolidated basis, the Company recorded a third quarter fiscal 2008 pretax loss of $(1.3) million, including foreign pretax income of $0.4 million.  The related third quarter fiscal 2008 income tax expense of $0.3 million was primarily due to foreign taxes on the profits of Villa.  During the same period in fiscal 2007, the Company recorded pretax income of $1.8 million, which included foreign pretax income of $1.6 million, and a U.S. pretax income of $0.2 million.  The related third quarter fiscal 2007 income tax expense of $0.7 million was also due to foreign taxes on the profits of Villa.  The Company has not provided for any income tax benefits related to the U.S. pretax losses in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 due to uncertainty regarding the realizability of its U.S. net operating loss carryforwards as explained in Critical Accounting Policies above.
 
On a consolidated basis, the Company recorded pretax income of $3.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2008, comprised of foreign pretax income of $6.2 million, offset by a US pretax loss of $2.8 million.  The related income tax expense of $2.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 was primarily due to foreign taxes on the profits of Villa.  During the same period in fiscal 2007, the Company recorded pretax income of $3.9 million, which included foreign pretax income of $5.0 million, offset by a U.S. pretax loss of $1.1 million.  The related first nine months of fiscal 2007 income tax expense of $2.2 million was due to foreign taxes on the profits of Villa.  The Company has not provided for any income tax benefits related to the U.S. pretax losses in the first nine months of either fiscal 2008 or 2007 due to uncertainty regarding the realizability of its U.S. net operating loss carryforwards as explained in Critical Accounting Policies above.
 
Reflecting the above, the Company recorded a net loss of $(1.6) million, or $(0.07) per basic and diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to net income of $1.1 million, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share for the same period in fiscal 2007.  The average shares outstanding for the fiscal 2008 period was significantly higher than the shares outstanding for the fiscal 2007 period due to shares issued in a March 2007 Rights Offering.
 
The Company recorded net income of $0.9 million or $0.04 per share (basic and diluted) in the first nine months of fiscal 2008, as compared to net income of $1.7 million or $0.12 per share (basic and diluted) in the first nine months of the prior year, again, on a significantly higher average shares outstanding for the fiscal 2008 period.
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
The Company funds it’s investing and working capital needs through a combination of cash flow from operations, short-term credit facilities and the proceeds of the Rights Offering described below.
 
Working Capital — At April 26, 2008 and July 28, 2007, our working capital was approximately $29.5 million and $25.0 million, respectively.  The increase in working capital for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 compared to the same period of fiscal 2007 related primarily to increases in accounts receivable (due to higher sales) and decreases in accrued expenses due to quarter end inventory activity offset partially by a decrease in ending cash and equivalents and inventories.
 
At April 26, 2008 and July 28, 2007, we had approximately $6.7 million and $7.9 million, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents.  This decrease is primarily due to cash used in financing activities directly associated with long term debt reduction as discussed in Cash Flows from Financing Activities below.  As of April 26, 2008, we had approximately $9.0 million of excess borrowing availability under our domestic revolving credit facility.
 
In addition, as of April 26, 2008 and July 28, 2007, our Villa subsidiary had an aggregate of approximately $13.3 million and $11.0 million respectively, of excess borrowing availability under its various short-term credit facilities.  Terms of the Italian credit facilities do not permit the use of borrowing availability to directly finance operating activities at our US subsidiaries.
 
Cash Flows from Operating Activities – For the nine months ended April 26, 2008, the Company’s operating activities were cash neutral, compared to $2.1 million of cash provided by operations in the comparable prior fiscal year period.  The decrease is largely due to payment of accounts payable in the 2008 period offset by and the effect of reduced inventory levels.
 
 
Cash Flows from Investing Activities — The Company made $0.7 million of facility improvements and capital equipment expenditures for the nine months ended April 26, 2008, compared to $0.6 million in the comparable prior year fiscal period.
 
Cash Flows from Financing Activities — During the nine month period ended April 26, 2008, the Company repaid a total of approximately $1.0 million of indebtedness on our domestic and Italian borrowings, as compared to $8.8 million in the comparable prior fiscal year period.During the comparable period of fiscal 2007, the Company received $12.4 million of proceeds from a Rights Offering discussed below.
 
In addition, the Company received $0.1 million in payment of the exercise price of warrants in the nine months ended April 26, 2008 compared to $0.6 million in the comparable prior fiscal year period.
 
The Company’s contractual obligations, including debt and operating leases, as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2007, has not changed materially at April 26, 2008.
 
Credit Facility and Borrowing — On August 1, 2005, the Company entered into a three-year revolving credit and term loan facility with North Fork Business Capital (the “North Fork Facility”) and repaid the prior facility.
 
On June 1, 2007, the North Fork Facility was amended and restated.  As restated, the North Fork Facility provides for a $7.5 million formula based revolving credit facility based on the Company’s eligible accounts receivable and inventory as defined in the credit agreement and a capital expenditure loan facility up to $1.5 million.  Interest on the revolving credit and capital expenditure borrowings is payable at prime plus 0.5% or alternatively at a LIBOR rate plus 2.5%. Other changes to the terms and conditions of the original loan agreement include the modification of covenants, removal of the Villa stock as loan collateral and the removal of daily collateral reporting which was part of the previous asset-based facility requirements.
 
As of April 26, 2008 and July 28, 2007, no amounts were outstanding and the Company had approximately $9.0 million of availability under the North Fork Facility, of which North Fork has reserved $1 million against possible litigation settlements.
 
The North Fork Facility is subject to commitment fees of 0.5% per annum on the daily-unused portion of the facility, payable monthly.  The Company granted a security interest to the lender on its US credit facility in substantially all of its accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, other assets and intellectual property in the US.
 
As of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company was non-compliant with the tangible net worth covenant under the North Fork Facility.  On December 6, 2006, North Fork waived the non-compliance with this covenant for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and adjusted the covenant levels going forward through the maturity of the credit facility.  As of April 26, 2008 and July 28, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the North Fork Facility.
 
The Company received a dividend from its Villa subsidiary in October 2006 of approximately $1.6 million which was used to pay down amounts outstanding under the North Fork Facility, in accordance with provisions of the facility.
 
Our Villa subsidiary maintains short term credit facilities which are renewed annually with Italian banks.  Currently, these facilities are not being utilized and the balance due at April 26, 2008 is $0.  Interest rates on these facilities are variable and currently range from 3.7% – 13.75%.
 
In October 2006, Villa entered into a 1.0 million Euro loan for financing of R&D projects, with an option for an additional 1 million Euro upon completion of 50% of the projects.  In April, 2008, the Company declined the option for additional financing and demonstrated successful completion of the project triggering a more favorable interest rate.  Interest, previously payable at Euribor 3 months plus 1.3 points, currently 5.917%, will be reduced in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2008 to Euribor plus 1.04 points.  The note is repayable over a 7 year term, with reimbursement starting in September 2008.  The note contains a financial covenant which provides that the net equity of Villa cannot fall below 5.0 million Euros.  This covenant could limit Villa’s ability to pay dividends to the US parent company in the event future losses, future dividends or other events should cause Villa’s equity to fall below the defined level.
 
In December 2006, Villa entered into a 1.0 million Euro loan with interest payable at Euribor 3 months plus 0.95 points, currently 5.677%.  The loan is repayable in 4 years.
 
 
Villa is also party to two Italian government long-term loans with a fixed interest rate of 3.425% with principal payable annually through maturity in February and September 2010.  At April 26, 2008, total principal due is 0.6 million Euro.  Villa’s manufacturing facility is subject to a capital lease obligation which matures in 2011 with an option to purchase.  Villa is in compliance with all related financial covenants under these short and long-term financings.
 
RIGHTS OFFERING AND STOCKHOLDER’S RIGHTS PLAN
 
On December 12, 2006, the Company filed a registration statement for a subscription rights offering with the SEC that became effective January 30, 2007.  Under terms of this rights offering, the Company distributed to shareholders of record as of February 5, 2007, non-transferable subscription rights to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock for each share owned at that date at a subscription price of $1.05 per share.  On March 12, 2007, the Company completed the rights offering, selling 12,027,378 shares of its common stock at $1.05 per share.  Total proceeds to the Company, net of $0.3 million of expenses related to the rights offering, were $12.4 million.
 
The purpose of this rights offering was to raise equity capital in a cost-effective manner.  Approximately $7.6 million of the proceeds were used for debt repayment and the remainder invested in short-term money market securities for anticipated working capital needs and general corporate purposes.  A portion of the net proceeds may also ultimately be used to acquire or invest in businesses, products and technologies that Company management believes are complementary to the Company’s business.
 
In addition, on January 22, 2007, the Company entered into a stockholders rights plan (the “Rights Plan”).  The Rights Plan provides for a dividend distribution of one Common Stock purchase right for each outstanding share of the Company’s Common Stock.  The Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Rights Plan to protect stockholder value by protecting the Company’s ability to realize the benefits of its net operating losses (“NOLs”) and capital loss carryforwards.  The Company has experienced substantial operating and capital losses in previous years.  Under the Internal Revenue Code and rules promulgated by the IRS, the Company may “carry forward” these losses in certain circumstances to offset current and future earnings and thus reduce its federal income tax liability, subject to certain requirements and restrictions.  Assuming that the Company has future earnings, the Company may be able to realize the benefits of NOLs and capital loss carryforwards.  These NOLs and capital loss carryforwards constitute a substantial asset to the Company.  If the Company experiences an “Ownership Change,” as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, its ability to use the NOLs and capital loss carryforwards could be substantially limited or lost altogether.  In general terms, the Rights Plan imposes a significant penalty upon any person or group that acquires certain percentages of the Company’s common stock by allowing other shareholders to acquire equity securities at half their fair values.
 
Contingencies
 
The Company had an employment agreement with Samuel Park, a previous Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), for the period May 1, 2001 to April 30, 2004.  The employment agreement provided for certain payments in the event of a change in the control of the Company.  On October 10, 2003, the Company announced the appointment of Walter F. Schneider as President and CEO to replace Mr. Park, effective as of such date.  As a result, the Company recorded a charge of $0.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2004 to accrue the balance remaining under Mr. Park’s employment agreement.
 
The Company’s employment agreement with Mr. Park provided for payments upon certain changes in control.  The Company’s Board of Directors, elected at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 29, 2003, had reviewed the “change of control” provisions regarding payments totaling up to approximately $1.8 million under the employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Park.  As a result of this review and based upon, among other things, the advice of special counsel, the Company’s Board of Directors has determined that no obligation to pay these amounts has been triggered.  Prior to his departure from the Company on October 10, 2003, Mr. Park orally informed the Company that, after reviewing the matter with his counsel, he believed that the obligation to pay these amounts has been triggered.  On October 27, 2003, the Company received a letter from Mr. Park’s counsel demanding payment of certain sums and other consideration pursuant to the Company’s employment agreement with Mr. Park, including these change of control payments.  On November 17, 2003, the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, against Mr. Park seeking a declaratory judgment that no change in control payment was or is due to Mr. Park, and that an amendment to the employment contract with Mr. Park regarding advancement and reimbursement of legal fees is invalid and unenforceable.  Mr. Park answered the complaint and asserted counterclaims seeking payment from the Company based on his position that a “change in control” occurred in June 2003.  Mr. Park is also seeking other consideration he believes he is owed under his employment agreement.  The Company filed a reply to Mr. Park’s counterclaims denying that he is entitled to any of these payments.  Discovery in this matter was conducted and completed.  Following discovery, the Company and Mr. Park filed motions for summary judgment on the
 
 
issues related to the change in control and the amendment to the employment agreement, which motions have been fully submitted to the court for consideration.  To date, no decision has been issued by the court on these motions.  If Mr. Park prevails on his claims and the payments he seeks are required to be paid in a lump sum, these payments may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity.  It is not possible to predict the outcome of these claims.  However, the Company’s Board of Directors does not believe that such a claim is reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in the Company’s liquidity in the foreseeable future.  The Company has not recorded an accrual for any potential settlements of this claim as it has no basis upon which to estimate either the outcome or amount of loss, if any.
 
On June 28, 2002, Jeffrey N. Moeller, the former Director of Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs of Del Medical, commenced an action in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, against the Company, Del Medical and Walter Schneider, the former President of Del Medical.  In the most current iteration of his complaint, the third amended complaint, Mr. Moeller alleged four claims against the defendants in the action: for (1) retaliatory discharge from employment with Del Medical, allegedly in response to Mr. Moeller’s complaints to officers of Del Medical about purported prebilling and his stopping shipment of a product that allegedly did not meet regulatory standards, (2) defamation, (3) intentional interference with his employment relationship with Del Medical and prospective employers, and (4) to hold the Company liable for any misconduct of Del Medical under a theory of piercing the corporate veil.  In their answer to the third amended complaint, the defendants denied the substantive allegations of each of these claims and denied that they have any liability to Mr. Moeller.  By order dated September 15, 2006, the Court denied in part and granted in part defendants’ motion requesting summary judgment dismissing the third amended complaint.  The court granted the motion only to the extent of dismissing that part of Mr. Moeller’s claim of interference with his employment relationship with Del Medical and his relationship with prospective employers.
 
In fiscal 2007, the Company recorded an accrual of $0.1 million relating to potential liability in the settlement of these claims.  The parties appeared for mediation in January 2007 but the mediation did not result in a disposition of the action.A trial was held in April 2008 and on April 17, 2008, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Mr. Moeller for $1.8 million for lost earnings, back pay, front pay and benefits on the retaliatory discharge claim, and $200,000 for emotional distress/reputation damages and $200,000 in punitive damages on the defamation claim.  The Company intends to vigorously pursue available post-trial remedies, including appeal.  On May 19, 2008, counsel for the defendants filed their motion for judgment in their favor notwithstanding the jury verdict, or, alternatively, for a new trial, on those claims on which the jury found the respective defendants liable.  However, as a result of the verdict, the Company adjusted its accrual  for potential liability in the settlement of these claims as deemed appropriate.
 
Diamond v. Allied Diagnostic Imaging Resources, Inc., et al. (Superior Court, County of Los Angeles; Case No. BC362544). This action is brought against numerous defendants, including the Company. While the action commenced in late 2006, plaintiff first served the summons and complaint on the Company in December 2007. The plaintiff alleges that she is the wife of a chiropractor who died in June 2005. Plaintiff alleges that her husband was exposed to chemical products in developing x-ray films and cleaning film processing machines and worked with the x-ray film processing machines and x-ray machines, and that the defendants manufactured, supplied or serviced the chemical products and machines.  The complaint further alleges that the decedent was exposed to toxic chemicals and radiation from the chemical products used on or in the machines, which caused “serious injuries to his internal organs, including acute myelogenous leukemia”, resulting in his death.
 
The complaint alleges the following six claims against the defendants: (1) negligence in manufacturing. and distributing the chemical products and machines, and servicing the machines, and failing adequately to warn decedent of the hazards of the chemical products and machines, (2) violation of a California statute and regulation by failing to determine whether the chemical products caused health hazards and failing to label or identify in material safety data sheets a health hazard relating to acute myelogenous leukemia, (3) strict products liability for failing to warn adequately of the chemical products’ and machines’ health hazards, (4) strict products liability for defects in the design of the chemical products and machines, (5) fraudulent concealment of the toxic and carcinogenic nature of the chemical products and the machines, and (6) breach of implied warranties as to the fitness of the chemical products and machines for intended uses, merchantability, and lack of defects.
 
While the complaint does not allege a total amount of damages sought, plaintiff alleges that she has suffered damages consisting of medical, funeral, and burial expenses, the decedent’s lost earnings prior to and lost wages after his death, lost benefits after his death, the value of his services in managing his family’s home, and loss of companionship and similar losses. The plaintiff also requests punitive damages.  The Company has not recorded an accrual for any potential settlement of this claim as it has no basis upon which to estimate either the outcome or amount of loss, if any.  In its answer to the complaint, the Company denied the substantive allegations of the complaint and denied that it has any liability to plaintiff.  The Company intends to defend vigorously against plaintiff’s claims.
 
On May 24, 2007, the Company’s RFI subsidiary was served with a subpoena to testify before a grand jury of the United States District Court of New York and to provide items and records from its Bay Shore NY offices in connection with U.S. Department of Defense contracts.  A search warrant from the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York was issued and executed with respect to such offices.  The Company believes that it is in full compliance with the quality standards that its customers require and is fully cooperating with investigators to assist them with their review.  The Company’s subsidiary is continuing to ship products to the U.S. Government as well as to its commercial customers.
 
 
The Company is a defendant in  other legal actions arising from the normal course of business in various U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.  Management believes the Company has meritorious defenses to such actions and that the outcome will not be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
We anticipate that cash generated from operations and amounts available from credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy currently projected operating cash needs for at least the next twelve months, and for the foreseeable future.
 
OFF BALANCE SHEET COMMITMENTS AND ARRANGEMENTS
 
The Company has not had any investments in unconsolidated variable interest entities or other off balance sheet arrangements during any of the periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We do not hold market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.  We do, however, recognize market risk from interest rate and foreign currency exchange exposure.  There have been no changes in financial market risks as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2007.
 
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including James A. Risher, Chief Executive Officer, and Mark Zorko, Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures”, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15e and 15d-15e promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.  Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
 
In the ordinary course of business, the Company routinely enhances its information systems by either upgrading its current systems or implementing new systems.  As required by Rule 13a-15(d), the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, also conducted an evaluation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) to determine whether any changes occurred during the quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, during the Company’s third fiscal quarter of 2008 ended April 26, 2008, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
 
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
Employment Matters - The Company had an employment agreement with Samuel Park, a previous Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), for the period May 1, 2001 to April 30, 2004.  The employment agreement provided for certain payments in the event of a change in the control of the Company.  On October 10, 2003, the Company announced the appointment of Walter F. Schneider as President and CEO to replace Mr. Park, effective as of such date.  As a result, the Company recorded a charge of $0.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2004 to accrue the balance remaining under Mr. Park’s employment agreement.
 
 
The Company’s employment agreement with Mr. Park provided for payments upon certain changes in control.  The Company’s Board of Directors elected at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 29, 2003, had reviewed the “change of control” provisions regarding payments totaling up to approximately $1.8 million under the employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Park.  As a result of this review and based upon, among other things, the advice of special counsel, the Company’s Board of Directors has determined that no obligation to pay these amounts has been triggered.  Prior to his departure from the Company on October 10, 2003, Mr. Park orally informed the Company that, after reviewing the matter with his counsel, he believed that the obligation to pay these amounts has been triggered.  On October 27, 2003, the Company received a letter from Mr. Park’s counsel demanding payment of certain sums and other consideration pursuant to the Company’s employment agreement with Mr. Park, including these change of control payments.  On November 17, 2003, the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, against Mr. Park seeking a declaratory judgment that no change in control payment was or is due to Mr. Park, and that an amendment to the employment contract with Mr. Park regarding advancement and reimbursement of legal fees is invalid and unenforceable.  Mr. Park answered the complaint and asserted counterclaims seeking payment from the Company based on his position that a “change in control” occurred in June 2003.  Mr. Park is also seeking other consideration he believes he is owed under his employment agreement.  The Company filed a reply to Mr. Park’s counterclaims denying that he is entitled to any of these payments.  Discovery in this matter was conducted and completed.  Following discovery, the Company and Mr. Park filed motions for summary judgment on the issues related to the change in control and the amendment to the employment agreement, which motions have been fully submitted to the court for consideration.  To date, no decision has been issued by the court on these motions.  If Mr. Park prevails on his claims and the payments he seeks are required to be paid in a lump sum, these payments may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity.  It is not possible to predict the outcome of these claims.  However, the Company’s Board of Directors does not believe that such a claim is reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in the Company’s liquidity in the foreseeable future.  The Company has not recorded an accrual for any potential settlements of this claim as it has no basis upon which to estimate either the outcome or amount of loss, if any.
 
On June 28, 2002, Jeffrey N. Moeller, the former Director of Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs of Del Medical, commenced an action in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, against the Company, Del Medical and Walter Schneider, the former President of Del Medical.  In the most current iteration of his complaint, the third amended complaint, Mr. Moeller alleged four claims against the defendants in the action: for (1) retaliatory discharge from employment with Del Medical, allegedly in response to Mr. Moeller’s complaints to officers of Del Medical about purported prebilling and his stopping shipment of a product that allegedly did not meet regulatory standards, (2) defamation, (3) intentional interference with his employment relationship with Del Medical and prospective employers, and (4) to hold the Company liable for any misconduct of Del Medical under a theory of piercing the corporate veil.  In their answer to the third amended complaint, the defendants denied the substantive allegations of each of these claims and denied that they have any liability to Mr. Moeller.  By order dated September 15, 2006, the Court denied in part and granted in part defendants’ motion requesting summary judgment dismissing the third amended complaint.  The court granted the motion only to the extent of dismissing that part of Mr. Moeller’s claim of interference with his employment relationship with Del Medical and his relationship with prospective employers.
 
In fiscal 2007, the Company recorded an accrual of $0.1 million relating to potential liability in the settlement of these claims.  The parties appeared for mediation in January 2007 but the mediation did not result in a disposition of the action.A trial was held in April 2008 and on April 17, 2008, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Mr. Moeller for $1.8 million for lost earnings, back pay, front pay and benefits on the retaliatory discharge claim, and $200,000 for emotional distress/reputation damages and $200,000 in punitive damages on the defamation claim.  The Company intends to vigorously pursue available post-trial remedies, including appeal.  On May 19, 2008, counsel for the defendants filed their motion for judgment in their favor notwithstanding the jury verdict, or, alternatively, for a new trial, on those claims on which the jury found the respective defendants liable.  However, as a result of the verdict, the Company adjusted its accrual  for potential liability in the settlement of these claims as deemed appropriate.
 
Other Legal Matters Diamond v. Allied Diagnostic Imaging Resources, Inc., et al. (Superior Court, County of Los Angeles; Case No. BC362544). This action is brought against numerous defendants, including the Company. While the action commenced in late 2006, plaintiff first served the summons and complaint on the Company in December 2007. The plaintiff alleges that she is the wife of a chiropractor who died in June 2005. Plaintiff alleges that her husband was exposed to chemical products in developing x-ray films and cleaning film processing machines and worked with the x-ray film processing machines and x-ray machines, and that the defendants manufactured, supplied or serviced the chemical products and machines.  The complaint further alleges that the decedent was exposed to toxic chemicals and radiation from the chemical products used on or in the machines, which caused “serious injuries to his internal organs, including acute myelogenous leukemia”, resulting in his death.
 
 
The complaint alleges the following six claims against the defendants: (1) negligence in manufacturing. and distributing the chemical products and machines, and servicing the machines, and failing adequately to warn decedent of the hazards of the chemical products and machines, (2) violation of a California statute and regulation by failing to determine whether the chemical products caused health hazards and failing to label or identify in material safety data sheets a health hazard relating to acute myelogenous leukemia, (3) strict products liability for failing to warn adequately of the chemical products’ and machines’ health hazards, (4) strict products liability for defects in the design of the chemical products and machines, (5) fraudulent concealment of the toxic and carcinogenic nature of the chemical products and the machines, and (6) breach of implied warranties as to the fitness of the chemical products and machines for intended uses, merchantability, and lack of defects.
 
While the complaint does not allege a total amount of damages sought, plaintiff alleges that she has suffered damages consisting of medical, funeral, and burial expenses, the decedent’s lost earnings prior to and lost wages after his death, lost benefits after his death, the value of his services in managing his family’s home, and loss of companionship and similar losses. The plaintiff also requests punitive damages.  The Company has not recorded an accrual for any potential settlement of this claim as it has no basis upon which to estimate either the outcome or amount of loss, if any.  In its answer to the complaint, the Company denied the substantive allegations of the complaint and denied that it has any liability to plaintiff.  The Company intends to defend vigorously against plaintiff’s claims.
 
On May 24, 2007, the Company’s RFI subsidiary was served with a subpoena to testify before a grand jury of the United States District Court of New York and to provide items and records from its Bay Shore NY offices in connection with U.S. Department of Defense contracts.  A search warrant from the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York was issued and executed with respect to such offices.  The Company believes that it is in full compliance with the quality standards that its customers require and is fully cooperating with investigators to assist them with their review.  The Company’s subsidiary is continuing to ship products to the U.S. Government as well as to its commercial customers.
 
In addition, the Company is a defendant in other legal actions arising from the normal course of business in various U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.  Management believes the Company has meritorious defenses to such actions and that the outcomes will not be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
