All prior year results have been restated to account for the Pinpoint Technologies, Inc. acquisition on October 15, 1999, as a pooling of interests. 2000 COMPARED TO 1999 Net sales reached record levels, increasing 35% from the prior year to $106.3 million, reflecting continued acceptance and increased penetration of the full featured M Series platform across each of our markets. Our continued sales growth reflects an increase in the size of the North American sales force as well as strong shipments to the International market. We experienced 30% annual sales growth over 1999 in the North American market as sales reached $84.7 million. Within North America, equipment sales to the prehospital and hospital markets increased 46% and 31%, to $27.9 million and $40.6 million, respectively. Sales in the International market increased 58% from the prior year to a record level of $21.6 million, reflecting continued widespread geographic growth. International sales in 2000 benefited from shipments related to a significant contract to provide AED's to the Germany Army. Gross margin of 56.4% decreased from 1999 reflecting volume pricing on Germany Army shipments. In addition, gross margin was also reduced as the rate of capital equipment revenue growth exceeded that of higher margin electrodes and data management products. This decrease was partially offset by increased sales of new monitoring parameters, which we have added to our M Series platform. Selling and marketing costs increased 28% over the prior year due to the increase in size of our North American and International sales forces. Selling and marketing costs as a percentage of sales decreased from 31% to 29.4%. In the North American market, sales productivity increased as a result of increasing our total number of sales people and reducing the size of individual sales territories. Our International expenses increased primarily reflecting the expansion of our direct sales force in Europe, including Germany, the Netherlands and Scotland. General and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of sales, from 9% to 8%, due to emphasis on expense controls and absorption of relatively fixed expenses by higher sales. Research and development expenses increased 15.3% from the prior year, reflecting continued development of our cardiac resuscitation equipment. Significant initiatives included spending on our biphasic technology, new monitoring parameters for our M Series platform as well as new product development for the public access market. Research and development expenses, as a percentage of sales, decreased from 9% to 8%, reflecting our higher level of sales. We recognized net investment income in 2000 compared to net interest expense in 1999, due to the increase in average cash and investment balances from 1999 to 2000, largely reflecting investments in short-term debt and equity securities during the year. During 2000, we generated net proceeds of approximately $67 million from our secondary offering. Our effective income tax rate increased from 34% in 1999 to 37% in 2000. During 1999, our effective tax rate was reduced by the utilization of certain foreign net operating loss carryforwards. 1999 COMPARED TO 1998 Net sales increased 37% from the prior year to $78.7 million, reflecting the rapid market acceptance of the M Series platform introduced to the market during the fourth quarter of 1998. Sales growth also reflected the reorganization and enlargement of the North American sales force to allow for a market-focused structure. Selling teams were changed to focus on each of North America's markets: hospital and prehospital. We experienced significant growth in all major geographies and segments of our business. During 1999, North American sales increased 36% to $65.0 million. Within North America, equipment sales to the hospital and prehospital markets increased 55% and 28%, to $30.9 million and $19.1 million, respectively. Sales in the International market increased 39% from the prior year. Gross margin increased approximately 1% over the prior year. We experienced an improvement in costs reflecting the M Series introduction and higher margins from information management products, primarily Pinpoint products. Selling and marketing costs increased 21% over the prior year, due to the increase in size of the North American sales force. Additionally, we established a direct sales force in Germany during the fourth quarter of 1999. Selling and marketing costs as a percentage of sales decreased from 35% to 31%, reflecting revenues that increased more rapidly than these costs as a result of the reorganization of the North American sales force. General and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of sales, from 11% to 9%, due to emphasis on expense controls and absorption of relatively fixed expenses by higher sales. Research and development expenses decreased as a percentage of sales, from 11% to 9%. Total expenses increased slower than revenues, reflecting the completion of development of the initial M Series platform and the related transfer of available resources to the biphasic project and other initiatives. We incurred net interest expense in 1999, as compared to net investment income in 1998, due to the decrease in average cash balances from 1998 to 1999. 9 3 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2000 totaled $4.0 million compared to $1.8 million at October 2, 1999. In addition, we had short-term investments amounting to $51.8 million at September 30, 2000. This significant increase in liquidity reflects the proceeds from our secondary stock offering of 1,725,000 shares of common stock during the second quarter of 2000. Cash used for operating activities totaled $7.9 million in 2000, while cash used over the same period in 1999 totaled $0.3 million. Significant uses of cash included increases in our accounts receivable and inventory levels. Both increases reflected the significant domestic and international sales growth of our Company. The increase in inventory levels reflected a dramatic increase in the number of product combinations, which our customers can now purchase as a result of our introduction of new monitoring parameters to our M Series platform. In addition, our prepaid expenses increased over the prior year, reflecting excess payments of income taxes during the year ended September 30, 2000. The amount of cash used to fund investing activities increased from the prior year by $55.9 million. This increase reflected investment of the proceeds of our secondary stock offering in short-term investments and an increase in capital expenditures. Significant capital expenditures included the purchase of our new Enterprise Wide Resource Planning (ERP) System and the expansion of our Burlington, Massachusetts factory. The increase in cash provided by financing activities of $69.4 million primarily results from our secondary stock offering and the exercise of stock options. We also used $2.2 million to repay long-term debt. We maintain a working capital line of credit with our bank. Borrowings under this line bear interest at the bank's base rate (8.59% at September 30, 2000). The full amount of the line was available to us at September 30, 2000. Currently, we may borrow up to $12.0 million on a demand basis. We expect that the combination of existing funds, cash generated from operations and our existing line of credit will be adequate to meet our operational liquidity and capital requirements for the foreseeable future. SAFE HARBOR STATEMENTS Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters set forth herein are forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, the following general risks: product demand and market acceptance risks, the effect of economic conditions, results of pending or future litigation, the impact of competitive products and pricing, product development and commercialization, technological difficulties, the government regulatory environment and actions, trade environment, capacity and supply constraints or difficulties, the results of financing efforts, actual purchases under agreements, potential warranty issues and the effect of the Company's accounting policies. In addition, we are subject to the following specific risks, which are described in greater detail in our Form 10K which we expect to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about December 29, 2000. If we fail to compete successfully in the future against existing or potential competitors, our operating results may be adversely affected; our operating results are likely to fluctuate which could cause our stock price to be volatile and the anticipation of a volatile stock price can cause greater volatility. We may be required to implement a costly product recall. We can be sued for producing defective products and we may be required to pay significant amounts to those harmed if we are found liable and our business could suffer from adverse publicity. Our dependence on sole and single source suppliers exposes us to supply interruptions that could result in product delivery delays and substantial costs to redesign our products. Our reliance on independent manufacturers creates several risks that could result in product delivery delays, increased costs and other adverse effects on our business. Failure to produce new products or obtain market acceptance for our new products in a timely manner could harm our business. We may not be able to obtain appropriate regulatory approvals for our products. If we fail to comply with applicable regulatory laws and regulations, the FDA or other regulatory bodies could exercise any of their regulatory powers that could have a material adverse effect on our business. We are dependent upon licensed and purchased technology for upgradeable features in our products and we may not be able to renew these licenses or purchase agreements in the future. Future changes in applicable laws and regulations could have an adverse effect on our business. Changes in the health care industry may require us to decrease the selling price for our products or could result in a reduction in the size of the market for our products, each of which could have a negative impact on our financial performance. Uncertain customer decision processes may result in long sales cycles which could result in unpredictable fluctuations in revenues and delays in replacement of cardiac resuscitation devices. Our international sales expose our business to a variety of risks that could result in significant fluctuations in our results of operations. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates may adversely affect our international sales. We may fail to adequately protect or enforce our intellectual property rights or secure rights to third party patents, and our competitors can use some of our previously proprietary technology. Reliance on overseas vendors for some of the components for our products exposes us to international business risks, which could have an adverse effect on our business. We rely heavily on several employees who may leave, and tight labor markets may make it difficult to recruit employees. We may acquire other businesses and we may have difficulty integrating these businesses or generating an acceptable return from acquisitions. Provisions in our charter documents, our stockholders rights agreement and state law may make it harder for others to obtain control of ZOLL even though some stockholders might consider such a development to be favorable. We have only one manufacturing facility for each of our major products and any damage or incapacitation of either of the facilities could impede our ability to produce these products. Our current and future investments may lose value in the future. We may experience short-term operating fluctuations as we introduce our new biphasic technology. 10 4 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS ZOLL MEDICAL CORPORATION We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ZOLL Medical Corporation as of September 30, 2000 and October 2, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of ZOLL Medical Corporation at September 30, 2000 and October 2, 1999, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

See notes to consolidated financial statements. 15 9 ZOLL MEDICAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE A-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Business: ZOLL Medical Corporation (the Company) designs, manufactures and markets an integrated line of proprietary, non-invasive cardiac resuscitation devices, disposable electrodes and accessories used for the emergency resuscitation of cardiac arrest victims. The Company also designs and markets software, which automates collection and management of both clinical and non-clinical data for emergency medical service providers. Business Combination: As described in Note B, on October 15, 1999, the Company acquired Pinpoint Technologies, Inc. and Pinpoint Property Management LLC (Pinpoint, individually and collectively) in a business combination accounted for as a pooling of interests. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the combined historical results of the Company and of Pinpoint for the periods ended October 2, 1999 and September 26, 1998. Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Fiscal Year: The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to September 30. The year ended October 2, 1999 included 53 weeks and the years ended September 30, 2000 and September 26, 1998 included 52 weeks. In October of 2000 the Company changed its fiscal year end to the Sunday closest to September 30. Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Substantially all cash and cash equivalents are invested in a money market investment account. These amounts are stated at cost, which approximates market. Marketable Securities: The Company accounts for marketable securities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" (FAS 115). FAS 115 establishes the accounting and reporting requirements for all debt securities and for investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fair values. All marketable securities must be classified as one of the following: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading. The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale and, as such, carries the investments at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Concentration of Risk: The Company sells its products primarily to hospitals, emergency care providers and universities. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and does not require collateral. In addition, the Company sells its products to the international market. Although the Company does not foresee a credit risk associated with these receivables, repayment is dependent upon the financial stability of the national economies of the customers to which it sells. In order to hedge the risk of loss in geographical areas with historical credit risks, in some cases the Company requires letters of credit from its foreign customers. Export sales accounted for 26%, 19% and 18% of the Company's total revenues in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. The Company maintains reserves for potential trade receivable credit losses, and such losses have been within management's expectations. Certain materials and components used in the Company's devices and electrodes are purchased from various single sources. Although the Company believes that alternative sources of supply for such materials and components could be developed over a relatively short period of time, the failure to secure such alternative sources when needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. Financial Instruments: The fair value of the Company's financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, are based on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates reflecting varying degrees of perceived risk. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximated their fair value at September 30, 2000 and at October 2, 1999 due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Inventories: Inventories, principally purchased parts, are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market. Market is replacement value for raw materials and net realizable value, after allowance for estimated costs of completion and disposal, for work-in-process and finished goods. Intangible Assets: Patents are stated at cost and amortized using the straight-line method over five years. Prepaid license fees are amortized over the term of the related contract, once commercialization of the related product begins. The excess of cost over fair value of the acquired net assets of the mobile computing business of Westech Information Systems, Inc. is amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. In general, depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic useful lives of the assets (forty years for buildings, three to ten years for machinery and equipment and five years for tooling, furniture, fixtures, and software). Leasehold improvements are being amortized over the life of the related lease. Revenue Recognition: Revenue from product sales is recognized upon shipment of the product and recorded net of estimated returns. The Company licenses software under non-cancelable license agreements and provides services including training, installation, consulting and maintenance, consisting of product support services and periodic updates. Revenue from the sale of software is recognized in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition. License fee revenues are generally recognized when a non-cancelable license agreement has been signed, the software product has been shipped, there are no uncertainties surrounding product acceptance, the fees are fixed and determinable, and collection is considered probable. For customer license agreements, which meet these recognition criteria, the portion of the fees related to software licenses will generally be recognized in the current period, while the portion of the fees related to services is recognized as the services 16 10 are performed. The Company allocates a portion of contractual license fees to post-contract support activities covered under the contract including first year maintenance, installation assistance and limited training services. In addition, the Company also allocates a portion of the contractual license fees to future unspecified upgrade rights. Revenues from maintenance agreements and upgrade rights are recognized ratably over a three-month period, and a one-year period, respectively. Advertising Costs: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $757,000, $481,000 and $409,000 in 2000, 1999 and 1998 respectively. Product Warranty: Expected future product warranty costs, included in accrued expenses and other liabilities, are recognized at the time of sale for all products covered under warranty. Warranty periods range from one to five years. Foreign Currency: The financial position and results of operations of the company's foreign subsidiaries are measured using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. All material translation and transaction gains and losses are recorded in the income statement. Earnings Per Share: In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which requires the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share amounts. All periods presented have been restated to reflect adoption of this statement. The shares used for basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share are reconciled as follows:
(000's omitted) 2000 1999 1998 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share 7,930 6,656 6,602 Dilutive effect of stock options 301 237 45 --------------------------------------------- Average shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share 8,231 6,893 6,647 =============================================
Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2000 presentation. Use of Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Stock Option Plans: As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123), the Company measures compensation expense for its stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." In accordance with SFAS 123, the Company has provided, in Note J, the pro forma disclosures of the effect on net income and earnings per share as if SFAS 123 had been applied in measuring compensation expense for all periods presented. Segment Reporting: Effective October 2, 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS 131). This statement supersedes Statement No. 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise." SFAS 131 establishes standards for the way that public companies report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. SFAS 131 also establishes standards for disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The adoption of SFAS 131 did not affect results of operations or financial position, but did affect the disclosure of segment information (see Note L). Comprehensive Income: The Company computes comprehensive income in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (FAS 130). FAS 130 establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. Comprehensive income, as defined, includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. Comprehensive income was equal to net income for the years ended October 2, 1999 and September 26, 1998 since there were no other elements of comprehensive income. Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and for Hedging Activities," which provides a comprehensive and consistent standard for the recognition and measurement of derivatives and hedging activities. SFAS 133, effective for years beginning after June 15, 2000, is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. In 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, which must be adopted no later than the fourth fiscal quarter of the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 1999. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of implementing this SAB, but it is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. 17 11 In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 44 "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation", an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25). Interpretation 44 clarifies guidance for certain issues that arose in the application of APB 25. Areas of focus within Interpretation 44 include repricings, modifications to extend the option term, change of grantee status, modifications to accelerate vesting and options exchanged in a purchase business combination. Interpretation 44 will be applied prospectively to new awards, modifications to outstanding awards, and changes in employee status on or after October 1, 2000. NOTE B-MERGER On October 15, 1999, the Company acquired Pinpoint in a business combination accounted for as a pooling of interests. Pinpoint, which creates, develops and manufactures advanced information technology software, exclusively focused on the emergency medical services (EMS) market, became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company through the exchange of approximately 433,000 shares of the Company's common stock for all of the outstanding stock of Pinpoint. In January 1999, Pinpoint distributed cash to the stockholders of Pinpoint. All of the cash distributed was contributed to newly formed Pinpoint Property Management LLC, and used to fund the equity needed to acquire an office building (see Note G). Summarized results of operations of the separate companies for the preceding two years are as follows (in thousands):
ZOLL PINPOINT COMBINED ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Year ended October 2, 1999 Net sales $73,977 $4,705 $78,682 Net income 4,081 1,358 5,439 Year ended September 26, 1998 Net sales $55,080 $2,440 $57,520 Net income 43 630 673
An adjustment of $140,000 is reflected in the consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity to eliminate the effect of including Pinpoint's results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 1997, in both the years ended September 27, 1997 and September 26, 1998. The following unaudited pro forma information has been prepared assuming Pinpoint had been acquired as of the beginning of the periods presented. The pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred if the acquisition had been made as of those dates. In addition, the pro forma information is not intended to be a projection of future results and does not reflect synergies resulting from the integration of Pinpoint and the Company's Westech business.
(000's omitted, except per share data) 1999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net sales $78,682 Net income $4,775 Basic earnings per common share $0.72 Diluted earnings per common share $0.69
The following table reconciles the combined net income of the Company and Pinpoint to the pro forma net income:

The pro forma income tax adjustment assumes Pinpoint was a taxable entity subject to tax at ZOLL's incremental tax rate for the periods presented. The pro forma operating expenses were incurred as a result of the merger. 18 12 NOTE C-MARKETABLE SECURITIES Marketable securities and debt securities are classified as available-for-sale at September 30, 2000. There were no investments in marketable securities at October 2, 1999. At September 30, 2000, available-for-sale securities consisted of:
(000's omitted) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- US Treasury Bonds $17,566 Corporate Obligations 16,708 Repurchase Agreements 17,549 ------- $51,823 =======
The securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in a separate component of stockholders' equity. At September 30, 2000, the difference between the cost basis and the estimated market value on the security portfolio amounted to a $177,000 gain. The maturity periods on the majority of securities held is within one year, with $16,352,000 maturing in one to five years. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Realized gains and losses, and declines in value judged to be other than temporary, are included in investment income. NOTE D-INVESTMENTS During 1996, the Company invested $2 million in the common stock of Lifecor, Inc. As of September 30, 2000 and October 2, 1999, this investment represented approximately 3.8% and 6.0% of Lifecor's outstanding common stock, respectively. The Company accounts for this investment at cost, which approximates market. This investment is included in other assets on the balance sheet. NOTE E-PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS Prepaid expenses and other current assets consisted of:

19 13 NOTE G-INDEBTEDNESS The Company maintains an unsecured working capital line of credit with its bank. This line of credit bears interest at the bank's base rate of 8.59% at September 30, 2000. The full amount of the line ($12.0 million) was available to the Company at September 30, 2000. In 1994, the Company purchased land and building, which replaced leased operating facilities, for $900,000. The land and building were mortgaged under a $900,000 bank note bearing interest at 8.2%. During the year ended September 30, 2000, the Company repaid the entire balance of the outstanding mortgage note payable. Also included in long-term debt is a promissory note (the Note) entered into in March 1999 by Pinpoint in order to acquire an office building. The Note bears interest at 7.95% per annum, is due in monthly installments of approximately $18,000 with final payment due March 2014. During the year ended September 30, 2000, the Company repaid the entire balance of the Note. At October 2, 1999, long-term debt consisted of:

Prior to the merger Pinpoint elected to be taxed under the Subchapter S provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, Pinpoint's income or loss was included in the stockholders' individual income tax returns. NOTE I-COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In the course of normal operations, the Company is involved in litigation arising from commercial disputes and claims from former employees which management believes will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or its results of operations. The Company leases certain office and manufacturing space under operating leases. Listed below are the future minimum rental payments required under operating leases with non-cancelable terms in excess of one year at September 30, 2000. 2001 $431 2002 404 2003 323 2004 38 2005 32 --------------------- $1,228
The Company's office leases are subject to adjustments based on actual floor space occupied. The leases also require payment of real estate taxes and operating costs. In addition to the office leases, the Company leases automobiles for business use by a portion of the sales force. Total rental expense under operating leases for 2000, 1999, and 1998 was approximately $1,059,000, $907,000 and $728,000, respectively. NOTE J-STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY Preferred Stock: The Board of Directors is authorized to fix the designations, relative rights, preferences and limitations on the Preferred Stock at the time of issuance. On June 8, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan. In connection with the Shareholder Rights Plan, the Board of Directors declared a dividend distribution of one Preferred Stock purchase right for each outstanding share of Common Stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business day on June 9, 1998. Initially, these rights are not exercisable and trade with the shares of ZOLL's Common Stock. Under the Shareholder Rights Plan, the rights generally become exercisable if a person becomes an "acquiring person" by acquiring 15% or more of the Common Stock of ZOLL, if a person who owns 10% or more of the Common Stock of ZOLL is determined to be an "adverse person" by the Board of Directors or if a person commences a tender offer that would result in that person owning 15% or more of the Common Stock of ZOLL. Under the Shareholder Rights Plan, a shareholder of ZOLL who beneficially owns 15% or more of the Company's Common Stock as of June 9, 1998 generally will be deemed an "acquiring person" if such shareholder acquires additional shares of the Company's Common Stock. In the event that a person becomes an "acquiring person" or is declared an "adverse person" by the Board, each holder of a right (other than the acquiring person or the adverse person) would be entitled to acquire such number of shares of Preferred Stock which are equivalent to ZOLL Common Stock having a value of twice the then-current exercise price of the right. If ZOLL is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction after any such event, each holder of a right would then be entitled to purchase, at the then-current exercise price, shares of the acquiring company's Common Stock having a value twice the exercise price of the right. Sale of Common Stock: During 2000, the Company completed a secondary offering of 1,725,000 shares of common stock in exchange for net proceeds of approximately $67 million, net of $5 million for underwriters discounts and other expenses incurred with the offering. 21 15 Stock Purchase Rights: On September 25, 1995, Pinpoint granted employee stock purchase rights which entitled the employee to obtain 3% of the then existing shares at a nominal price. The stock purchase rights vest 25% at the end of one year of employment, another 25% vesting over the next three years, and the remaining 50% vesting over the next six years. The rights to purchase 12,650 shares of common stock automatically vested upon the acquisition of Pinpoint. As of September 30, 2000, the rights to purchase 3,650 shares of common stock had not been exercised. Stock Option Plans: The Company's 1983 and 1992 stock option plans provide for the granting of options to officers and other key employees to purchase the Company's Common Stock at a purchase price, in the case of incentive stock options, at least equal to the fair market value per share of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company at the time the option is granted, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Options are no longer granted under the 1983 plan. The options become exercisable ratably over two or four years and have maximum duration of 10 years. The Company's Non-employee Director Stock Option Plan provides for the granting of options to purchase shares of Common Stock to Directors of the Company who are not also employees of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. The options vest in four equal annual installments over a four year period. The options may be exercised at a price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the option is granted. The number of shares authorized for these plans was 2,545,000. Approximately 1,244,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance under the Company's stock option plans as of September 30, 2000. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (FAS 123), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized with respect to the Company's stock option grants. Had compensation cost for this plan been determined based on the fair value methodology prescribed by FAS 123, the Company's net earnings and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below.
(000's omitted, except per share data) 2000 1999 1998 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income-as reported $8,802 $5,439 $ 673 Net income pro forma $7,618 $4,956 $ 313 Basic earnings per common share-as reported $ 1.11 $ 0.82 $0.10 Diluted earnings per common and equivalent share-as reported $ 1.07 $ 0.79 $0.10 Basic earnings per common share-pro forma $ 0.96 $ 0.74 $0.05 Diluted earnings per common and equivalent share-pro forma $ 0.93 $ 0.72 $0.05
The above pro forma amounts may not be representative of the effects on reported net earnings for future years. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 2000, 1999 and 1998:

Under the Company's 1992 stock option plan, 417,850 options ranging in option price from $10.00 to $14.75 per share were repriced to $6.88 per share during 1998. This repricing was accomplished by canceling the existing options and issuing new options at new prices with vesting schedules recommencing as of the date of reprice. The purpose of this transaction was to restore the incentive effect of such options. In all other respects, the Plan remained unchanged. NOTE K-EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN Defined contribution retirement plan--ZOLL has a defined contribution retirement plan which contains a "401 (k)" program for all employees with three months of service who have attained 21 years of age. Participants in the Plan may contribute up to 15% of their eligible compensation. Effective January 1, 2000, the Plan was amended to provide for an employer match of 25% of the employee contribution up to 7% of eligible compensation. Prior to January 1, 2000, the Company made discretionary contributions. The Company contributed $125,000 to the Plan in 2000 and $100,000 in 1999 and 1998. 401 (k) Salary Deferral Plan--Beginning in 1998, Pinpoint has maintained a retirement savings plan (the Plan) pursuant to which eligible employees may defer compensation for income tax purposes under section 401 (k) of the Internal Revenue code of 1986. Participants in the Plan may contribute up to 15% of their eligible compensation which are matched by the company at 50% of the employee contribution up to 6% of eligible compensation. Pinpoint may make discretionary matching contributions to the Plan in an amount determined by its Board of Directors. Pinpoint recorded expense related to the Plan of approximately $55,000, $29,000 and $11,000 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. NOTE L-SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION Segment Information: The Company reports revenue information to the chief operating decision maker for four operating segments, determined on the type of customer or product. These segments consist of (1) the sale of cardiac resuscitation devices and accessories to the North American hospital market, (2) the sale of the same items and data collection management software to North American prehospital market, (3) the sale of disposable/other products in North America, (4) the sale of cardiac resuscitation devices and accessories and disposable electrodes to the international market. Each of these segments has similar characteristics, manufacturing processes, distribution and marketing strategies, as well as a similar regulatory environment. In order to make operating and strategic decisions, ZOLL's chief operating decision maker evaluates revenue performance based on the worldwide revenues of each segment and, due to shared infrastructures, profitability based on an enterprise-wide basis. Net sales by segment were as follows:
