AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - March 31, 2003 (Unaudited) (1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements reflect the financial position of Landauer, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("Landauer" or "the Company") as of March 31, 2003 and September 30, 2002, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three-month and six-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of Landauer as of March 31, 2003 and September 30, 2002, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three-month and six-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the Company's financial statements in the 2002 Landauer Annual Report on Form 10-K. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the results of operations or financial position. The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. (2) CASH DIVIDENDS On March 7, 2003, the Company declared a regular quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $ 0.375 per share payable on April 11, 2003, to stockholders of record on March 21, 2003. On December 20, 2002, the Company declared a regular quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $ 0.375 per share payable on January 17, 2003, to stockholders of record on January 3, 2003. Regular quarterly cash dividends of $ 0.35 per share ($1.40 annually) were declared during fiscal 2002. (3) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Comprehensive income is the total of net income and all other nonowner changes in equity. The following table sets forth the Company's comprehensive income for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 (000's): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended March 31, March 31, -------------------- --------------------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 --------- --------- --------- --------- Net income. . . . . . . . $ 3,030 $ 4,037 $ 6,839 $ 7,773 Other comprehensive income- Foreign currency transla- tion adjustment. . . . . 155 (8) 285 (180) --------- --------- --------- --------- Comprehensive income. . . $ 3,185 $ 4,029 $ 7,124 $ 7,593 ========= ========= ========= ========= 6 LANDAUER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - March 31, 2003 (Cont'd) (4) EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share computations have been made in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." Basic earnings per share were computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share were computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock that would have been outstanding assuming dilution during each period. The following table presents the weighted average number of shares of common stock for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 (000's): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended March 31, March 31, -------------------- --------------------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 --------- --------- --------- --------- Weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. . . . . . . 8,792 8,745 8,786 8,740 Options issued to executives . . . . . . . 79 112 81 103 -------- -------- -------- -------- Weighted average number of shares of common stock assuming dilution. . . . 8,871 8,857 8,867 8,843 ======== ======== ======== ======== (5) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company maintains stock option plans for key employees ("Employees' Plan"). It also maintains a stock option plan for its non- employee directors. The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related Interpretations. In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." FAS No. 148 requires disclosure in both annual and quarterly financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation, and the effect of the method used on reported results. These additional disclosures are required beginning with the Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2003. Had compensation cost for these plans been determined consistent with FASB Statements No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company's net income and earnings per share in each period would have been as follows (000's except per share data): 7 LANDAUER, INC.

(6) ASSET IMPAIRMENT The Company recorded a non-cash pre-tax charge of $2,750,000, or $0.19 per diluted share (with income taxes calculated at a marginal rate of 39.7%) for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2003, to recognize an impairment in the value of assets for the Aurion product line. The financial results for Aurion have not been significant for any period presented. Based on the estimated identifiable cash flows from this service offering the impairment charge represents the Company's entire investment in the Aurion-related assets and includes software and other fixed assets, licenses, and badge components. Following a period of product introduction, marketing efforts and an analysis of second quarter results, it was determined that spending constraints placed on targeted customers by health care cost pressures and state and local government budget deficits had significantly reduced the future net cash flows expected to be realized from Aurion. The Company will continue servicing current customers through the term of their agreement and will discontinue marketing to new customers. The Company will consider alternative uses, if any, for the technology. 8 LANDAUER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - March 31, 2003 (Cont'd) (7) RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin ("ARB") No. 51," ("FIN 46"). FIN 46 clarifies the application of ARB No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to existing variable interest entities in the interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company is reviewing FIN 46 to determine its impact, if any, on future reporting periods. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Landauer's cash flow from operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 amounted to $7,063,000 and $5,100,000, respectively. Acquisitions of property, plant and equipment amounted to $1,917,000 and $1,921,000, respectively, for fiscal 2003 and 2002. The Company's financing activities were limited to payments of cash dividends, offset by foreign dividends received from Nagase-Landauer, Ltd., our Japanese joint venture. The Company has no long-term liabilities and its requirement for cash flow to support investing activities is generally limited. Capital expenditures for the balance of fiscal 2003 are expected to amount to approximately $3,500,000 principally for the acquisition of equipment to support the Company's Luxel product line, introduction of new service offerings, the development of supporting software systems, and computer hardware. The Company anticipates that funds for these capital improvements will be provided from operations. The Company presently maintains external sources of liquidity in the form of a $5 million line of credit with its bank. In the opinion of management, resources are adequate for projected operations and capital spending programs, as well as continuation of the regular cash dividend program. Landauer requires limited working capital for its operations since many of its customers are invoiced for services in advance. Such advance billings amounted to $11,895,000 and $11,885,000, respectively, as of March 31, 2003 and September 30, 2002, and are included in the balance sheet under the caption deferred contract revenue. While these amounts included in deferred contract revenue represent almost one-half of current liabilities, such amounts generally do not represent a cash requirement. The services provided by the Company to its Customers are ongoing and are of a subscription nature. As such, revenues are recognized in the periods in which such services are rendered irrespective of whether invoiced in advance or in arrears. All customers are invoiced in accordance with the Company's standard terms, with payment due thirty days from date of invoice. Inasmuch as the majority of the Company's revenues are realized from the health care industry, the average days of sales outstanding range from 43 to 79 days. 9 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS QUARTERLY RESULTS Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 were 14.6% higher compared with the same quarter a year ago. Approximately 60% of the revenue growth for the quarter was attributable to the consolidation of Landauer's 51% owned subsidiary, LCIE-Landauer, Ltd., acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 2002. The balance of revenue growth for the quarter resulted from improved pricing and a modest increase in unit demand. Gross margins were 66.0% of revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2003, comparable to 66.3% for the same period in 2002. The Company recognized a non-cash charge in the amount of $2,750,000, or $0.19 per diluted share (after income tax benefit computed at a marginal rate of 39.7%), for costs associated with the impairment in value of assets related to Landauer's Aurion service (See Note 6). Selling, general and administrative expenses were slightly lower in the second quarter as a percent of revenues at 21.2% versus 23.7% for the second quarter of fiscal 2002. While expenses related to LCIE-Landauer increased, and selling and research and development expenses were higher, these were largely offset by lower incentive compensation expenses. Operating income was impacted by the non-cash impairment charge and was 28.4% of revenues compared to 42.6% for the same period last year. Income before taxes and minority interest was 29.8% of the revenues for the quarter just ended compared to 44.0% for the second fiscal quarter of 2002. The effective tax rate for the Company during the second quarter of fiscal 2003 was 36.5% compared with 37.4% for the second quarter of fiscal 2002. Resulting net income of $3,030,000 for the second fiscal quarter of 2003, compared with $4,037,000 in the same quarter reported in fiscal 2002. Diluted income per share for the current quarter was $ 0.34 versus $ 0.46 for fiscal 2002. SIX MONTH RESULTS Revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2003, were $32,238,000 or 13.3% greater than $28,445,000 reported for the same period in fiscal 2002. Revenue growth resulted from the consolidation of the European operations and from core radiation dosimetry services where the Company realized higher pricing and slightly increased unit volume. Gross margins for the first half of fiscal 2003 were 64.5% of revenues, or slightly lower than the 65.8% reported a year ago as a result of lower margins for the French business. Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the first six months of fiscal 2003 were 7.8% higher than a year ago, due to higher European operating expenses and domestic selling and research and development costs, offset by lower incentive compensation expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses were 22.3% of revenues for the first half of fiscal 2003 compared to 23.4% for the first half of fiscal 2002. Operating income for the first half of fiscal 2003 was 33.7% of revenues compared with 42.3% for the same period last year. Income before taxes and minority interest was 35.1% of revenues for the six months just ended compared to 43.8% of revenues for the same period in fiscal 2002. The effective tax rate for the Company during the first half of fiscal 2002 was 37.0% compared with 37.4% a year ago. Resulting net income of $6,839,000 for the first six months of 2003 compares with earnings of $7,773,000 reported in fiscal 2002. Diluted income per share for the first half of fiscal 2003 was $0.77, compared to $0.88 in the first fiscal half of 2002. 10 FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain of the statements made herein constitute forward looking statements that are based on certain assumptions and involve certain risks and uncertainties, including assumptions and risks associated with the Company's introduction of new technology, the adaptability of OSL to new platforms and new formats, the usefulness of older technologies, the cost associated with the Company's business development and research efforts, the anticipated results of operations of the Company, the Company's market position, the Company's business plans, the risks associated with conducting business internationally, other anticipated financial events, the effects of changing economic and competitive conditions, foreign exchange risks, government regulations and changes in postal and delivery practices. Such assumptions may not materialize to the extent assumed and such risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ from anticipated results. Such risks and uncertainties may also result in changes to the Company's business plan and prospects and could create the need from time to time to write down the value of the assets or otherwise cause the Company to incur unanticipated expenses. Additional information may be obtained by reviewing the Company's reports filed from time to time with the SEC. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin ("ARB") No. 51," ("FIN 46"). FIN 46 clarifies the application of ARB No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to existing variable interest entities in the interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company is reviewing FIN 46 to determine its impact, if any, on future reporting periods. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE & QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company is exposed to market risk, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries are remeasured into U.S. dollars using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. The market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rates is not material in relation to the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company does not have any significant trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, commitments or borrowings in a currency other than that of the reporting units functional currency. As such, the Company does not use derivative financial instruments to manage the exposure in its non-U.S. operations. 11 ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Within the 90 days prior to the filing date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in the Company's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these internal controls subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
