NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS A. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 1994, and the unaudited consolidated statements of income and unaudited consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 include all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly these financial statements. The aforementioned financial statements have been subject to a review by Coopers & Lybrand, the Company's independent accountants, whose report is included as page 7 to this filing. Coopers & Lybrand did not propose any adjustments or additional disclosures as a result of their review. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. It is suggested that these condensed statements be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent Form 10-K and Annual Report as of March 31, 1994. B. Divestments During the quarter, the Corporation sold Micro Processor Systems, Inc., which has been classified as a discontinued operation, and two other businesses for approximately $3.1 million in cash and long-term promissory notes approximating $3.3 million. On July 1, 1994 the Corporation sold the operating net assets of Whistler Corporation, which has been classified as a discontinued operation, for $11.1 million in cash, completing Dynatech's exit from the automotive products market. The effects of these transactions are not material to the consolidated financial statements. C. Treasury Stock In June 1994 the Board of Directors authorized a repurchase of up to $30 million of Dynatech common stock on the open market and in private transactions. At June 30, 1994 the Corporation had repurchased 3,000 shares at a cost of $62,850. From July 1, 1994 through July 15, 1994 an additional 242,000 shares were repurchased for approximately $5.2 million. All of the acquired shares are held as common stock in treasury. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations Consolidated sales for the three months ended June 30, 1994 were $117,772,000 compared to $117,749,000 in the prior year's first quarter. Information Support Products segment sales rose 3.4% for the three months ended in fiscal 1994 reflecting growth for Transmission products. Sales in the Diversified Instrumentation segment increased 1.4% from base business growth compared to the prior year quarter reflecting a 24% increase of sales of medical and diagnostic products offset partially by a 13% reduction of expansion memory boards. The sale of four businesses in this segment resulted in an overall decline of 6.6%. Backlog from continuing operations was $94.0 million at both June 30, 1994 and March 31, 1994. Consolidated gross profit was 51.8% for the current quarter compared to 53.7% in the prior year quarter. The decrease in rate was primarily driven by higher production costs for new product introductions and price sensitivity in video graphics generation markets. Information Support Products gross margin declined to 55.1% compared to 57.6% in the prior year quarter while Diversified Instrumentation gross margin was 45.8% in each period. Selling, general and administrative expenses were lower in dollars and as a percent of sales from the prior year first quarter resulting in part from the streamlining actions announced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994. Product development expense was 10.9% of consolidated sales for the current quarter compared to 11.4% in the first quarter of the prior year. The reduction was attributed primarily to the nonstrategic businesses in the Diversified Instrumentation segment. Amortization of intangibles, of which $1.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 and $1.3 million in the first quarter of the prior year related to product technology and was excluded from cost of sales, declined due to business divestments and discontinuance of product lines. Interest expense from continuing and discontinued operations declined in the current quarter to $1,490,000 as compared with $1,538,000 in the prior year as a result of repayment of loan debt from operating cash flow. Interest income declined due to lower investment rates. The effective tax rate declined to approximately 43% for the current quarter compared to 43.8% in the prior year quarter resulting from lower nondeductible amortization changes. Income from continuing operations increased 6% to $3,660,000, or $.39 per share, for the current quarter from $3,452,000, or $.37 per share, for the first quarter of the prior year, reflecting lower product development and amortization costs offset partially by lower gross margins. Earnings for the quarter were aided by two factors: shipments of high-margin software related to the roll out of a three dimensional radiation therapy planning system, and the licensing of certain technology rights. Estimated savings from implementing the streamlining and restructuring actions were $1.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 which included $.7 million in reduced amortization charges resulting from intangible asset revaluations. Employee headcount from continuing operations has declined 6% since the implementation of the streamlining plan and is on schedule toward a 10% reduction in work force upon completion of announced restructurings and divestitures. In addition, the consumer automotive business units which employed approximately 10% of the work force have been sold. While the Company believes that the outlook for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 is good, no assurance can be given that operating results for the quarter will meet those of the second quarter of fiscal 1994 which produced net income from continuing operations of $.35 per share. Operating results for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 will depend upon, among other things, the incoming order rate during the quarter for the Company's various businesses, product mix, and the continued successful implementation of the Company's reorganization plan. While the European economy continues to recover, European business activity is normally slower in the second quarter than during other parts of the fiscal year. Capital Resources and Liquidity The Company's funded debt was reduced to 19.6% of total capital at June 30, 1994, an improvement from the year-end level of 20.1% at March 31, 1994, the lowest level in eight years. The working capital ratio improved to 2.0 to 1 at June 30, 1994 from 1.9 to 1 at March 31, 1994. Cash outlays for the streamlining and restructuring actions approximated $1.2 million in the first quarter. Dynatech believes it has sufficient resources to finance its cash requirements over the next year including the necessary streamlining and restructuring actions and treasury stock repurchases.

DYNATECH CORPORATION Date August 3, 1994 /S/ Robert H. Hertz Robert H. Hertz Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer Date August 3, 1994 /S/ John C. Maag John C. Maag Corporate Controller REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Audit Committee of The Board of Directors of Dynatech Corporation: We have made a review of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of Dynatech Corporation as of June 30, 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three month periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of obtaining an understanding of the system for the preparation of interim financial information, applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

EX-15 3 EXHIBIT 15.1 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the board of Directors and Shareholders of Dynatech Corporation: We have reviewed the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of Dynatech Corporation as of June 30, 1994, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1994, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report, dated May 23, 1994, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
