Our products address the needs of the general-purpose test; communications test and monitoring; and video test, measurement, and monitoring market segments.
 
We focus our efforts on developing products primarily for the communications, computing, and underlying semiconductor design markets. By focusing our efforts on the core technology drivers within these markets, we believe we will also develop products and expertise to meet the needs of many other markets, including education, government, military/aerospace, research, automotive, and consumer electronics.
 
We believe growth in our markets is being driven by several key trends and the underlying technologies that enable them. These underlying technologies create the need for new, more capable test and monitoring products and solutions. In our Instruments Business, these market trends include:
 
  •  faster and easier connections that are used to move massive amounts of data between devices, across computer and communication system backplanes, and within microprocessors, enabled by new, high speed serial interfaces such as High-Definition Multimedia Interface (“HDMI”), Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (“ATA”), and Peripheral Component Interconnect (“PCI”) Express;
 
  •  the proliferation of wireless devices, which are enabled by new, faster, and more sophisticated radio technologies;
 
  •  the pervasiveness of electronics in consumer and other devices, which are enabled by embedded digital system technology; and
 
  •  higher quality and more accessible video content, enabled by digital video technology.
 
In our Communications Business, these market trends include:
 
  •  the continued increase in wireless users and roll-out of 3G mobile services; and
 
  •  the convergence of voice, data, and video in next generation internet protocol (“IP”) — based multi-service networks driving significant investment as carriers strive to lower cost and compete for triple play services including Internet Protocol Television (“IPTV.”)
 
In addition, we believe that growth in Asia and related investments in technology will drive and shape our markets.
 
Our Strategic Focus
 
Our strategy is to focus our efforts on select product categories where we have a market leadership position or where we believe we can grow to a market leadership position. We have three supporting strategies to drive long-term growth:
 
  •  grow market share in core product categories where we already have a strong market position;
 
  •  leverage existing strengths into adjacent product categories; and
 
  •  expand our addressable market.
 
The product categories where we believe we have a strong existing market position include oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, signal sources, video test, network management, and network diagnostics. We are leveraging our core strengths in technology, manufacturing, and distribution to develop a strong market position in an adjacent product category — spectrum analyzers. Finally, we are expanding our addressable market for all categories by introducing application-specific products, focusing on market segments with faster growth, and investing in geographic expansion, particularly in China, India, and Eastern Europe.
 
As a result of investments in this strategy, we believe that our growth will be driven by two primary factors:
 
  •  Our ability to increase our product leadership position in our Instruments Business where we have significantly increased the number of products introduced across the majority of our product categories.

  This increase in new product introductions and our ongoing pipeline of new products has been enabled by the increased investment we made in research and development and improved effectiveness of that investment. We believe that these new products will allow us to continue to gain market share and grow our business; and
 
  •  Our ability to win customers in our Communications Business during the transition to modern telecommunication networks. We believe there will be continued investment by network operators worldwide to deploy and manage next-generation mobile data and IP — based technologies. Our strategy is to capitalize on this transition to modern networks by leveraging the technology in our network diagnostics and network management products to win a significant share of the opportunities at the world’s largest network operators.
 
To accomplish this strategy, we invest in internal product development, where we have a long history of successful product and technology innovation. In addition, we may pursue strategic acquisitions to gain access to technology, products, or markets. Finally, we continue to leverage our strong industry brand, customer needs driven technology and customer relationships, and our global distribution channel to enable us to be successful in our markets.
 
The electronics industry continues to be very competitive, both in the United States and abroad. We face competition from one broad-line competitor, Agilent Technologies, Inc., which competes with us in multiple product categories, and from a number of companies in specialized areas of test and measurement products, as described below. Primary competitive factors include product performance, technology, product availability, price, and customer service. We believe that our reputation in the marketplace is a significant positive competitive factor.

Manufacturing
 
Our manufacturing activities primarily consist of assembling and testing products to customer orders. We also perform installation and integration activities at customer sites associated with our network management products. Most product design, assembly, testing, and configuration is performed in-house. However, many major components, sub-assemblies, and peripheral devices are acquired from numerous third-party suppliers. To procure these components, we draw on an integrated global supply base leveraged across the corporation. Because some of these components are unique, disruptions in supply could have an adverse effect on our manufacturing operations. Although supply shortages are experienced from time to time, we currently believe that we will be able to acquire the required materials and components as needed.
 
Our manufacturing organization, working in conjunction with product development, invests in collaborative engineering processes to accelerate the launch of new products designed for both market and life cycle success. In addition, manufacturing invests in process innovation and structured continuous improvement.
 
Our primary manufacturing activities occur at facilities located in Beaverton, Oregon and Shanghai, China. In addition, we perform light assembly and software configuration activities in Richardson, Texas, and software configuration services in Berlin, Germany. We perform installation and integration activities for our network management products at customer sites using internal direct labor and third-party integration providers. These installation and integration activities occur in the Americas, Europe, the Pacific, and Japan.
 
Our manufacturing strategy is to optimize each manufacturing location to specific capabilities and expertise. Our Beaverton, Oregon facility is focused on high complexity and high mix, lower volume products and includes capability for rapid prototyping and development. Our Shanghai, China facility is focused on high volume and lower mix, low cost products and accessories. We have established a formal structured LeanSigma program as our primary methodology for delivering continuous quality, lead time, and productivity improvements.
 
Sales and Distribution
 
We maintain our own direct sales and field maintenance organization, staffed with technically trained personnel throughout the world. Sales to end customers are made through our direct sales organization, or independent distributors and resellers located in principal market areas. Some of Tektronix’ independent distributors also sell products manufactured by our competitors.
 
Our principal customers are electronic and computer equipment manufacturers and service providers, communication network equipment manufacturers, network operators, semiconductor manufacturers, private industrial concerns engaged in commercial or governmental projects, military and nonmilitary agencies of the United States and of foreign countries, educational institutions, and radio and television stations and networks. Certain products are sold to both equipment users and original equipment manufacturers.
 
Our distribution strategy is to align the sales channel with our customer base, concentrating direct selling efforts in large or strategic geographies and markets, and utilizing distributors or other partners to expand geographic and customer reach.
 
Most of our products are sold as standard catalog items. Network management products require customization, system installation, and customer acceptance.
 
At May 26, 2007, our unfilled orders were $283.2 million, as compared to $244.6 million for unfilled orders at May 27, 2006. A large majority of the unfilled orders will be delivered to customers within one year. In our network management business, we may receive orders that include a multi-year service contract or a requirement to perform development that could delay delivery of all or a portion of an order beyond the upcoming fiscal year. Most orders are subject to cancellation or rescheduling by customers with little or no penalty, and accordingly, backlog on any particular date is not necessarily a reliable indicator of actual sales for any subsequent period. We maintain a general target for backlog for our general purpose test, video test, and network diagnostic products of 6 to 8 weeks. Backlog for our network management products, which are subject to software customization, installation, and customer acceptance before revenue is recognized, is generally 6 to 12 months.

Geographic Areas of Operations
 
We conduct operations and business worldwide on a geographic basis, with those regions known as the Americas, Europe, the Pacific, and Japan. Our headquarters is located in Beaverton, Oregon. International sales include both export sales from United States subsidiaries and sales by non-U.S. subsidiaries. See Note 22 “Business Segments” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, which contains information on sales based upon the location of the purchaser and long-lived assets by geographic area.
 
Fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates and other factors beyond the control of Tektronix, such as the stability of international monetary conditions, tariff and trade policies, and domestic and foreign tax and economic policies, affect the level and profitability of international sales. However, we are unable to predict the effect of these factors on our business. We hedge specifically identified foreign currency exchange rate exposures in order to minimize the impact of fluctuations.
 
Research and Development
 
We operate in an industry characterized by rapid technological change, and research and development are important elements in our business. We devote a significant portion of our resources to design and develop new and enhanced products that meet customer needs and can be manufactured cost effectively and sold at competitive prices. In addition, we use contract engineering for some software development and other design services. To focus these efforts, we seek to maintain close relationships with our customers to develop products that meet their needs. Research and design groups and specialized product development groups conduct research and development activities. These activities include: research on basic devices and techniques; the design and development of products, components, and specialized equipment; and the development of processes needed for production. The vast majority of our research and development is devoted to enhancing and developing our own products.
 
Research and development activities occur in Beaverton, Oregon. Additional software and product development occurs in Richardson, Texas; Berlin, Germany; Shanghai, China; Bangalore, India; Tokyo, Japan; Cambridge and Bristol, England; Padova, Italy; and Montreal, Canada.
 
Expenditures for research and development during fiscal years 2007, 2006, and 2005 were $199.9 million, $183.4 million, and $163.5 million, respectively. Substantially all of these funds were generated by us. During fiscal year 2007, we also incurred a charge of $1.6 million for acquired in-process research and development in connection with the acquisition of Minacom. See “Acquisitions” in Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Part II of this Form 10-K.
 
Patents and Intellectual Property
 
We hold approximately 660 patents in the United States, which cover a wide range of products and technologies and have various expiration dates. While our intellectual property rights are important to our success, we believe that our business as a whole is not materially dependent on any patent, trademark, license, or other intellectual property right. It is our strategy to seek patents in the United States and appropriate other countries for our significant patentable developments. However, electronic equipment as complex as most of our products generally are not patentable in their entirety. We also seek to protect significant trademarks and software through trademark registration and copyright. As with any company whose business involves intellectual property, we are subject to claims of infringement and there can be no assurance that any of our proprietary rights will not be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or that these rights will provide significant competitive advantage.
 
Employees
 
At May 26, 2007, we had 4,541 employees, of whom 1,746 were located in countries other than the United States. At May 27, 2006, we had 4,359 employees, of whom 1,634 were located in countries other than the United States. Our employees in the United States and most other countries are not covered by collective bargaining agreements. We believe that relations with our employees are good.

Environment
 
Our facilities and operations are subject to numerous laws and regulations concerning the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to protection of the environment. We previously operated a licensed hazardous waste management facility at our Beaverton campus. We have entered into a consent order with the Department of Environmental Quality (“DEQ”) permitting closure of the facility, and requiring us to engage in ongoing monitoring and cleanup activities, primarily in the nature of remediation of subsurface contamination occurring over many years. For additional information, see “Critical Accounting Estimates — Contingencies” in Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Part II of this Form 10-K. Although the sources of that contamination have been remedied and we continue to work closely with environmental authorities for its clean-up, no assurances can be given we will not, as a result of changes in the law or the regulatory environment in general, be required to incur significant additional expenditures.
 
We completed and filed a feasibility study with the DEQ during fiscal year 2007. We are currently in the processes of revising the feasibility study to address comments from the DEQ. We expect completion of the revised feasibility study during fiscal year 2008, the result of which could change management’s estimate of the liability. If events or circumstances arise that are unforeseen to us as of the balance sheet date, actual costs could differ materially from the recorded liability.
 
We believe that our operations and facilities comply in all material respects with applicable environmental laws and worker health and safety laws, and although future regulatory actions cannot be predicted with certainty, compliance with environmental laws is not expected to have a material effect upon capital expenditures, earnings, or the competitive position of Tektronix.

Item 1A.   Risk Factors.
 
Risks and Uncertainties
 
Described below are some of the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report. See “Forward-Looking Statements” that precedes Part I of this Form 10-K.
 
We compete in a cyclical market and a decrease in capital expenditures by our customers could adversely impact demand for our products.
 
Our business depends on capital expenditures of customers in a wide range of industries, including the telecommunications, semiconductor, and computer industries. Each of these industries has historically been


9

Table of Contents

cyclical and has experienced periodic downturns, which have had a material adverse impact on the demand for equipment and services manufactured and marketed by us. During periods of reduced and declining demand, we may need to rapidly align our cost structure with prevailing market conditions while at the same time continuing to motivate and retain key employees. Our net sales and operating results could be adversely affected by the reversal of any favorable trends or any future downturns or slowdowns in the rate of capital investment in these industries. In addition, the telecommunications industry has been going through a period of consolidation in which several major telecommunications operators and equipment manufacturers have either merged with each other or been acquired. This consolidation activity may affect the overall level of capital expenditures made by these operators and equipment manufacturers for test and measurement equipment and may also affect the relative competitive position between us and our competitors in this market.
 
Rapid changes in technology require timely introduction of competitive products and any failure to anticipate such changes and introduce competitive products could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
 
We sell our products to customers that participate in rapidly changing high technology markets, which are characterized by short product life cycles. Our ability to deliver a timely flow of competitive new products and market acceptance of those products, as well as the ability to increase production or to develop and maintain effective sales channels, is essential to growing the business. Because we sell test, measurement and monitoring products that enable our customers to develop new technologies, we must accurately anticipate the ever-evolving needs of those customers and deliver appropriate products and technologies at competitive prices to meet customer demands. Our ability to deliver those products could be affected by engineering or other development program delays as well as the availability of parts and supplies from third-party providers on a timely basis and at reasonable prices. In addition, we face risks associated with designing products and obtaining components that are compliant with the “Restriction of Hazardous Substances” worldwide regulatory provisions, which include removing lead from current and future product designs. We also expect spending for traditional networks to continue to decrease, which requires that we continue to develop products and applications for networks based on emerging next-generation wireless and packet-based technologies and standards. We may not successfully develop or acquire additional competitive products for these emerging technologies and standards. Failure to timely develop or acquire competitive and reasonably priced products that are compliant with evolving regulatory standards could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
 
Competition is intense, may further intensify, and could result in the loss of market share, reduced margins, and increased downward pricing pressure.
 
We compete with a number of companies in specialized areas of test and measurement products and one large broad line measurement products supplier, Agilent Technologies, Inc. Other competitors include Anritsu Corporation, Astellia Inc., Catapult Communications Corporation, Empirix Inc., Fluke Corporation, Harris Corporation, JDS Uniphase Corporation, Leader Instruments Corporation, LeCroy Corporation, NetHawk Group, Radcom Ltd., Rohde & Schwarz, Spirent Communications, Yokogawa Electric Corporation, and many other smaller companies. In general, the test and measurement industry is a highly competitive market based primarily on product performance, technology, customer service, product availability, and price. Some of our competitors may have greater resources to apply to each of these factors and in some cases have built significant reputations with the customer base in each market in which we compete. We may face pricing pressures that could have an adverse impact on our earnings. If we are unable to compete effectively on these and other factors, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. In addition, we enjoy a leadership position in various core product categories, and continually develop and introduce new products designed to maintain that leadership, as well as to penetrate new markets. Failure to develop and introduce new products that allow us to maintain a leadership position or that fail to penetrate new markets may adversely affect operating results.

Table of Contents

We depend on sole and limited source suppliers to provide various key components, services, and licenses necessary to meet critical product and delivery schedules, and any inability on the part of those suppliers to meet our requirements could adversely affect our results of operations.
 
Our manufacturing operations are dependent on the ability of suppliers to deliver high quality components, subassemblies, and completed products in time to meet critical manufacturing and distribution schedules. We buy a significant portion of our circuit boards from two suppliers and a significant portion of our Application Specific Integrated Circuits (“ASICs”) from two suppliers. Both circuit boards and ASICs are important components of our products and are built to our specifications. We believe other suppliers could build the circuit boards; however, there are a limited number of suppliers that could build ASICs to our specifications. In some cases, we have acquired materials to support a last time buy request, and we must safely store such amounts in our facilities. We believe we purchase sufficient amounts in response to a last time buy request, but the acquired materials will be our only supply. Significant damage to the facility could impair the safekeeping of these materials and any resulting damage to the materials could adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, we periodically experience constrained supply of component parts in some product lines as a result of strong demand in the industry for those parts. These constraints, if persistent, may adversely affect operating results until alternate sourcing can be developed. There is increased risk of supplier constraints in periods where we are increasing production volume to meet customer demands. Volatility in the prices of these component parts, an inability to secure enough components at reasonable prices to build new products in a timely manner in the quantities and configurations demanded or, conversely, a temporary oversupply of these parts, could adversely affect our future operating results. In addition, we use various sole source components that are integral to a variety of products. Disruption in key sole or limited source suppliers could have a significant adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
 
We are dependent on various third-party logistics providers to distribute our products throughout the world. Any disruptions in their ability to ship products to our customers could have a significant adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
 
We rely upon software licensed from third parties. If we are unable to maintain these software licenses on commercially reasonable terms, our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow could be harmed.
 
Failure of information technology systems may negatively impact our operating results.
 
We depend on our information technology systems for the development, manufacture, distribution, marketing, sales, and support of our products and services. Any failure in those systems may adversely affect our operating results. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, we are performing a significant upgrade to our order management, invoicing, and accounts receivable system. Any failure arising out of this upgrade could adversely affect our operating results. In addition, because the majority of our products are distributed from a limited number of locations, failure of information technology systems or any other disruption affecting those product locations could have a material adverse impact on our ability to deliver product and on our financial results.
 
Cancellations, changes, or delays in the implementation or customer acceptance of our products could harm our financial results.
 
Large orders, particularly for network management, typically involve multiple deliverables which may be delivered over an extended period of time greater than the usual six months for our other products. Additionally, revenue from a significant portion of our network management solution products is typically recognized upon the completion of system installation or customer acceptance. As a result, the timing of revenue recognition related to these contracts can impact the sales growth rate in the Communications Business in any single quarter. Also, delays caused by us or our customers in the commencement or completion of scheduled product installations and acceptance testing may occur from time to time. In addition, cancellations, changes, or delays in the implementation or customer acceptance of our products, including but not limited to network management, could harm our financial results.
 
There are additional product risks associated with sales of the network management products. Sales of our network management products often involve large contracts and custom development criteria. Because a significant


11

Table of Contents

portion of our total sales on a quarterly basis is derived from projects requiring explicit acceptance by the customer, product installation and/or development delays could materially harm our financial results for a particular period. Additionally, we may be subject to penalties or other customer claims for failure to meet contractually agreed upon milestones or deadlines, which could include cancellation of an order and impairment of the associated inventory.
 
Our network management business and reputation could suffer if we do not prevent security breaches.
 
We have included security features in some of our network management products that are intended to protect the privacy and integrity of customer data. Despite the existence of these security features, these products may be vulnerable to breaches in security due to unknown defects in the security mechanisms, as well as vulnerabilities inherent in the operating system or hardware platform on which the product runs or the networks linked to that platform. Security vulnerabilities, regardless of origin, could jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted through the computer systems of our customers. Any security problem may require significant expenditures to solve and could materially harm our reputation and product acceptance.
 
A significant portion of our revenue is from international customers, and, as a result, our business may be harmed by political and economic conditions in foreign markets and the challenges associated with operating internationally.
 
We maintain operations and conduct business in four major geographies: the Americas, Europe, the Pacific, and Japan. Some of our manufacturing operations and key suppliers are located in foreign countries, including China, where we expect to further expand our operations. As a result, business is subject to the worldwide economic and market condition risks generally associated with doing business globally, such as fluctuating exchange rates; the stability of international monetary conditions; tariff and trade policies; export license requirements and technology export restrictions; import regulations; domestic and foreign tax policies; foreign governmental regulations; political unrest, wars and acts of terrorism; epidemic disease and other health concerns; and changes in other economic and political conditions. These factors, among others, could restrict or adversely affect our ability to sell in global markets, as well as our ability to manufacture products or procure supplies, and could subject us to additional costs. In addition, a significant downturn in the global economy or a particular region could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
 
Failure to maintain and protect our intellectual property and the intellectual property licensed from others could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
 
As a technology-based company, our success depends on developing and protecting our intellectual property. We rely generally on patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws in the United States and abroad. Electronic equipment as complex as most of our products, however, is generally not patentable in its entirety. We also license intellectual property from third parties and rely on those parties to maintain and protect their technology. We cannot be certain that actions we take to establish and protect proprietary rights will be adequate, particularly in countries (including China) where intellectual property rights are not highly developed or protected. If we are unable to adequately protect our technology, or if we are unable to continue to obtain or maintain licenses for protected technology from third parties, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. From time to time in the usual course of business, we receive notices from third parties regarding intellectual property infringement or take action against others with regard to intellectual property rights. Even where we are successful in defending or pursuing infringement claims, we may incur significant costs. In the event of a successful claim against us, we could lose our rights to needed technology or be required to pay license fees for the infringed rights, either of which could have an adverse impact on our business.
 
Failure to comply with environmental regulations could result in suspension of production and could restrict our ability to expand facilities.
 
We are subject to a variety of federal, state, local, and foreign environmental regulations relating to the use, storage, discharge, and disposal of hazardous chemicals used during our manufacturing process. We have closed a licensed hazardous waste management facility at our Beaverton, Oregon campus and have entered into a consent order with the Department of Environmental Quality requiring certain remediation actions. If we fail to comply with


12

Table of Contents

the consent order or any present or future regulations, we could be subject to future liabilities or the suspension of production. In addition, environmental regulations could restrict our ability to expand our facilities or could require us to acquire costly equipment, or to incur other significant expenses to comply with environmental regulations.
 
Our defined benefit pension plans are subject to financial market risks and significant changes in market interest rates could adversely impact our operating results.
 
Our defined benefit pension plan obligations are affected by changes in market interest rates and the majority of plan assets are invested in publicly traded debt and equity securities, which are affected by market risks. Significant changes in market interest rates, decreases in the fair value of plan assets, and investment losses on plan assets may adversely impact our operating results.
 
We face other risk factors.
 
Our business could be impacted by macroeconomic factors. The recent volatility in energy prices and rising interest rates could have a negative impact on the economy overall and could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
 
Other risk factors include but are not limited to changes in the mix of products sold, regulatory and tax legislation, changes in effective tax rates, inventory risks due to changes in market demand or our business strategies, potential litigation and claims arising in the normal course of business, credit risk of customers and the fact that a substantial portion of our sales during a quarter are generated from orders received during that quarter. If any of these risks occur, they could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
 
Item 1B.   Unresolved Staff Comments.
 
None.
 
Item 2.   Properties.
 
Tektronix’ headquarters and primary manufacturing facilities are located in Beaverton, Oregon. All properties are maintained in good working order and, except for those leased to other companies, are substantially utilized and are suitable for the conduct of its business. Management believes that our facilities are adequate for their intended uses.
 
The Beaverton facilities are located in a business park (the “Howard Vollum Business Park”), which is owned by Tektronix. The Howard Vollum Business Park includes numerous buildings arranged in a campus-like setting and contains an aggregate of approximately 1.3 million gross square feet of enclosed floor space. Warehouses, production facilities, and other critical operations are protected by fire sprinkler installations. Tektronix leases approximately 241,000 square feet in Richardson, Texas, of which 213,000 square feet is used for operations and 28,000 square feet is vacant.
 
Tektronix leases approximately 41,000 square feet of office space in Tokyo, Japan that is used for design, sales, marketing, and administrative activities and leases 11,700 square feet in Ninomiya, Japan for product service and repair. Tektronix leases approximately 100,000 square feet of facilities in Shanghai, China, mainly for manufacturing purposes.
 
Research and development for some video test products using MPEG compression technology, as well as the marketing efforts for those products, occurs at a leased facility located in Cambridge, England. Space is leased in Bristol, England for video test software development. Design and manufacturing space for communications test products is also leased in Berlin, Germany and Padova, Italy. Tektronix leases and partially owns a facility in Bangalore, India that is used for software design.

Item 3.   Legal Proceedings.
 
The U.S. Office of Export Enforcement and the Department of Justice are conducting investigations into Tektronix’ compliance with export regulations with respect to certain sales made in Asia. We are fully cooperating with the investigations. The government could pursue a variety of sanctions against Tektronix, including monetary penalties and restrictions on our exportation of certain products. Based on the status of the investigations as of the date of this report, we do not anticipate that the results of the investigations will have a material adverse effect on Tektronix’ business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
 
Tektronix is involved in various other litigation matters, claims, and investigations that occur in the normal course of business, including but not limited to patent, commercial, personnel, and other matters. While the results of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that their final outcome will not have a material adverse impact on Tektronix’ business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Repurchases of Tektronix common stock were made under authorizations totaling $1.25 billion approved by the Board of Directors in fiscal years 2000, 2005, and 2007. These authorizations allow Tektronix, at management’s discretion, to selectively repurchase its common stock from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions depending on market price and other factors. The share repurchase authorization has no stated expiration date. During fiscal years 2007 and 2006, Tektronix repurchased a total of 6.7 million and 4.8 million shares, respectively, at an average price per share of $28.61 and $25.02, respectively, for $191.1 million

Item 7.   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 is intended to provide investors with an understanding of the operating performance and financial condition of Tektronix. A discussion of our business, including our strategy, products, and competition, is included above in Part I of this Form 10-K.
 
Overview
 
We are a leading supplier of test, measurement, and monitoring products, solutions, and services to the communications, computer, and semiconductor industries — as well as military/aerospace, consumer electronics, education, and a broad range of other industries worldwide. We enable our customers to design, build, deploy, and manage next-generation global communications networks, computing, pervasive, and advanced technologies. We derive revenue principally by developing, manufacturing, and selling a broad range of products and related components, support services, and accessories.
 
Our fiscal year is the 52 or 53 weeks ending the last Saturday in May. Fiscal years 2007, 2006, and 2005 included 52 weeks. Fiscal year 2008 will be the 53 weeks ending May 31, 2008. Unless otherwise stated, all dates and references to years or quarters refer to our fiscal years or fiscal quarters.
 
Our strategy is to focus our efforts on select product categories where we have a market leadership position or where we believe we can grow to a market leadership position. We have three supporting strategies to drive long


17

Table of Contents

term growth: grow market share in core product categories where we already have a strong market position, leverage existing strengths into adjacent product categories, and expand our addressable market. As a result of investments in this strategy, we believe that growth for Tektronix will be driven by the increased number of products introduced across the majority of our product categories, and by our ability to win customers in the transition to modern telecommunication networks.
 
We are organized around two business platforms: the Instruments Business and the Communications Business. The Instruments Business includes general purpose test and measurement products; video test, measurement, and monitoring products; and Maxtek Components Corporation (“Maxtek”), which manufactures sophisticated hybrid circuits for internal use and for external sale. The Communications Business includes telecommunications network management solutions and services, and network diagnostics products.
 
We maintain operations and conduct business in four major geographies: the Americas, Europe, the Pacific, and Japan.
 
Our results of operations and financial condition may be affected by a variety of factors. In our opinion, the most significant of these factors include the economic strength of the technology markets into which we sell our products, our ability to develop compelling technology solutions and deliver these to the marketplace in a timely manner, and the actions of competitors. The significant risk factors affecting Tektronix are discussed above in Item 1A Risk Factors of Part I of this Form 10-K.
 
The markets that we serve are very diverse and include a cross-section of technology industries. Accordingly, our business is cyclical and tends to correlate to the overall performance of the technology sector. In the fourth quarter of 2005 and into the first quarter of 2006 orders softened in a number of our product areas and in most regions. Toward the end of the first quarter of 2006, our markets began to strengthen and that strengthening continued through the remainder of 2006. Our markets remained stable into the first quarter of 2007, but in the second quarter of 2007 we observed a weakening in the communications market, primarily driven by consolidations of network equipment manufacturers as well as some slowing of capital expenditures by network operators that continued for the remainder of the year.
 
We face significant competition in many of the markets in which we sell our products. We compete on many factors including product performance, technology, product availability, and price. To compete effectively, we must deliver compelling products to the market in a timely manner. Accordingly, we make significant investments into the research and development of new products and the sales channels necessary to deliver products to the market. Even during periods where economic conditions have reduced our revenues, we continued to invest significantly in the development of new products and sales channels. A discussion of our products and competitors is included above in Item 1 Business of Part I of this Form 10-K.
 
Acquisitions
 
On November 27, 2006, we acquired Minacom, a leading provider of active probe test solutions used by telecommunications carriers, cable multi-system operators, wireless, and voice over internet protocol providers worldwide. The purchase price was approximately $27.3 million plus assumed liabilities of $1.2 million.
 
On November 8, 2005, we acquired Vqual Ltd., a leading provider of software tools for analysis, test, and optimization of compressed digital media, based in Bristol, England. This acquisition enables us to offer our customers a complete suite of in-house compressed video analysis products. The purchase price was approximately $7.4 million and is subject to upward adjustment based on achievement of predetermined sales levels through July 2007.
 
On June 13, 2005, we acquired TDA Systems, a small supplier of time domain software tools for high speed serial data customers. The purchase price was approximately $4.6 million, including $2.1 million in shares of our common stock and $2.0 million in cash.
 
On September 30, 2004, we acquired Inet Technologies, Inc., a company that engaged primarily in network monitoring. The acquisition of Inet further expanded our network management and diagnostics product offerings. The purchase price was approximately $543.6 million. See Note 6 “Acquisitions” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for additional information.

Business Realignment Costs
 
Business realignment costs represent actions to realign our cost structure in response to significant events and primarily include restructuring actions and impairment of assets resulting from reduced business levels or related to significant acquisitions or divestitures. Business realignment actions taken in recent years were intended to reduce our worldwide cost structure across all major functions. Major operations impacted include manufacturing, engineering, sales, marketing, and administrative functions. In addition to severance, we incurred other costs associated with restructuring our organization, which primarily represented facilities contracts and other exit costs associated with aligning the cost structure to appropriate levels. Restructuring actions can take significant time to execute, particularly if they are being conducted in countries outside the United States. We believe that the restructuring actions implemented in recent years have resulted in the cost savings anticipated for those actions.
 
Total business realignment costs were $9.1 million in 2007. During the first quarter of 2007, we incurred business realignment costs of $2.6 million associated with the acquisition of Inet and actions taken to realize business synergies. Business realignment costs were negligible during the second and third quarters of the current year. However, during the second quarter of this year, we observed a weakening in the communications market, primarily driven by consolidations of network equipment manufacturers as well as some slowing of capital expenditures by network operators. In the fourth quarter of 2007, we began to take actions in response to the change in market conditions primarily in our communications business in order to appropriately align our cost structure to achieve our business model goals. Business realignment costs incurred in the fourth quarter of 2007 were $6.3 million. The total business realignment costs of $9.1 million during 2007 included severance and related costs of $9.0 million for 76 employees and $0.1 million for contractual obligations. At May 26, 2007, liabilities remained for the severance and related benefits of 84 employees.
 
At the end of 2005 and into the first quarter of 2006, we experienced softening in orders primarily in our general purpose product categories. In response, we took actions to reduce our cost structure. During this time period, we also took actions to realize business synergies as a result of the acquisition of Inet. Business realignment costs of $9.8 million during 2006 included severance and related costs of $11.1 million for 120 employees, $0.3 million for contractual obligations, and a net $1.6 million credit for currency gains primarily related to the closure of three subsidiaries in Europe. At May 27, 2006, liabilities remained for the severance and related benefits of 41 employees.
 
Business realignment costs of $3.1 million during 2005 were primarily for severance and related costs for activity in Europe that had been initiated in previous years. For 2005, business realignment costs included severance and related costs of $2.2 million for 37 employees, $0.9 million for contractual obligations, and $0.2 million for accelerated depreciation of assets, offset by a $0.2 million credit from net accumulated currency translation gains. At May 28, 2005, liabilities of $1.3 million remained for the severance and related benefits of 15 employees for actions taken in 2005, 2004, and 2003. The remaining $1.0 million liability was for continuing payments on contractual obligations, some of which span several years.

Critical Accounting Estimates
 
We have identified the “critical accounting estimates” that are most important to our portrayal of the financial condition and operating results and require difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Significant estimates underlying the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of net sales and expenses are included in share-based compensation, revenue recognition, contingencies, goodwill and intangible asset valuation, pension plan assumptions, and the valuation of deferred income taxes and income tax contingencies.
 
Share-Based Compensation
 
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”). Beginning May 28, 2006, the first day of fiscal year 2007, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R under the modified prospective transition method using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. In accordance with this transition method, we have not restated prior periods for the effect of compensation expense calculated under SFAS No. 123R. The Black-Scholes valuation model includes subjective and complex assumptions for expected life, risk-free interest rate, volatility, and dividend yields. Expected life is the weighted average length of time that options are outstanding before they are exercised. Historic exercise behavior, vesting periods and the weighted average remaining contractual life of outstanding options are all considered in the calculation of expected life. The risk-free interest rates are equal to the U.S. Treasury yield curve rates, of the same expected life, at grant. Stock price volatility for Tektronix is based on historic volatility and is calculated using weekly stock prices for a time period


22

Table of Contents

similar to the expected life of the option being valued. An increase to the expected life, risk-free interest rates, or the stock price volatility assumptions will all result in an increase to the Black-Scholes valuation and could have a material impact on the results of operations. Based on past and expected future share-based compensation deductions, we believe we will have the ability to recognize tax benefits associated with the majority of our share-based compensation for the foreseeable future. See Note 5 “Share-Based Compensation” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for additional information on this adoption and a description of the effects on our results of operations and financial position.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
We recognize product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. Delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer. These criteria are met for the majority of our product sales at the time the product is shipped. Upon shipment, we also provide for estimated costs that may be incurred for product warranties and for sales returns. When other significant obligations or acceptance terms remain after products are delivered, revenue is recognized only after such obligations are fulfilled or acceptance by the customer has occurred.
 
Contracts for our network management solution products often involve multiple deliverables. We determine the fair value of each of the contract deliverables using vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”). VSOE for each element of the contract is based on the price for which we sell the element on a stand-alone basis. In addition to hardware and software products, elements of the contracts include product support services such as the correction of software problems, hardware replacement, telephone access to our technical personnel and the right to receive unspecified product updates, upgrades, and enhancements, when and if they become available. Revenues from these services, including post-contract support included in initial licensing fees, are recognized ratably over the service periods. Post-contract support included in the initial licensing fee is allocated from the total contract amount based on the fair value of these services determined using VSOE.
 
If we determine that we do not have VSOE on an undelivered element of an arrangement, we will not recognize revenue until all elements of the arrangement that do not have VSOE are delivered. This occurrence could materially impact our financial results because of the significant dollar amount of many of our contracts and the significant portion of total revenues that a single contract may represent in any particular period.
 
Revenue earned from service is recognized ratably over the contractual service periods or as the services are performed. Shipping and handling costs are recorded as Cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amounts billed or collected in advance of the period in which the related product or service qualifies for revenue recognition are recorded as Deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
Contingencies
 
We are subject to claims and litigation concerning intellectual property, environmental and employment issues, settlement of contingencies related to prior dispositions of assets, and regulatory actions related to customs and export control matters. Accruals have been established based upon our best estimate of the ultimate outcome of these matters. We review the status of any claims, litigation, and other contingencies on a regular basis, and adjustments are made as additional information becomes available. It is reasonably possible that our estimates of contingencies could change in the near term and that such changes could be material to the consolidated financial statements.
 
As of May 26, 2007, $8.1 million of contingencies were recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which consisted of $6.6 million for environmental exposures and $1.5 million for other contingent liabilities.
 
As of May 27, 2006 the balance of the contingencies related to the Color Printing and Imaging Division (“CPID”) disposition in fiscal year 2000 was $5.0 million. During fiscal year 2007, we recognized a $5.0 million pre-tax gain in discontinued operations related to the sale. Recognition of this $5.0 million gain had previously been deferred as management did not believe that the conditions necessary to recognize this gain existed. During the


23

Table of Contents

current fiscal year, management determined that persuasive objective evidence supporting the recognition of the $5.0 million pre-tax gain existed, which included a lack of claims activity associated with certain exposures underlying the contingencies, and analysis of the enforceability of potential claims related to this contingency, given the passage of time since the closing of the sale. See Note 7 “Discontinued Operations” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for further information.
 
Included in contingent liabilities was $6.6 million specifically associated with the closure and cleanup of a licensed hazardous waste management facility at our Beaverton, Oregon, campus. The initial liability was established in 1998, and we base ongoing estimates on currently available facts and presently enacted laws and regulations. Costs for tank removal and cleanup were incurred in fiscal year 2001. Costs currently being incurred primarily relate to ongoing monitoring and testing of the site.
 
We completed and filed a feasibility study with the Department of Environmental Quality (“DEQ”) during fiscal year 2007. Based on the recommendations in the feasibility study, our best estimate of the cost for remediation of the environmental exposure was $6.8 million. The $6.8 million was an increase of $4.8 million over the fiscal year 2006 estimate of $2.0 million which was the low end of a range of $2.0 million to $10.0 million. Of the $6.8 million, a reserve of $6.6 million remained at the end of fiscal year 2007. These costs are expected to be incurred over the next several years. We are currently in the process of revising our feasibility study to address comments from the DEQ. We expect completion of the revised feasibility study during fiscal year 2008, the result of which could change our estimate of the liability. If events or circumstances arise that are unforeseen to us as of the balance sheet date, actual costs could differ materially from the recorded liability.
 
The remaining $1.5 million of contingency accruals included amounts primarily related to intellectual property, employment issues, and regulatory matters. If events or circumstances arise that we did not foresee as of the balance sheet date, actual costs could differ materially from the above described estimates of contingencies.

Goodwill and intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Accordingly, we do not amortize goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, but we amortize other acquisition related intangibles with finite useful lives.
 
SFAS No. 142 requires goodwill not to be amortized, but to be reviewed for impairment annually and more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the goodwill may be impaired. The impairment test uses a two-step process. The first step identifies potential impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the second step is performed to determine the amount of impairment loss, if any. As of May 26, 2007, the balance of goodwill, net was $326.5 million, which was recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The major component of the goodwill balance was $220.2 million resulting from the Inet acquisition.
 
For intangible assets with finite useful lives that are not software-related, we amortize the cost over the estimated useful lives and assess any impairment by estimating the future cash flow from the associated asset in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” If the estimated undiscounted cash flows related to these assets decrease in the future or the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, we may incur charges to impair these assets. The impairment would be based on the estimated discounted cash flows associated with each asset. Impairment could result if the underlying technology fails to gain market acceptance, we fail to deliver new products related to these technology assets, the products fail to gain expected market acceptance, or if market conditions in the related businesses are unfavorable.
 
For software-related intangible assets with finite useful lives, we amortize the cost over the estimated economic life of the software product and assess impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” At each balance sheet date, the unamortized cost of the software-related intangible asset is compared to its net realizable value. The net realizable value is the estimated future gross revenues from the software product reduced by the estimated future costs of completing and disposing of that product, including the costs of performing maintenance and customer support. The

excess of the unamortized cost over the net realizable value would then be recognized as an impairment loss. Amortization expense for intangible assets that are software-related developed technology is recorded as Cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
We do not amortize intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. However, we reevaluate these intangible assets each reporting period. If we subsequently determine that a nonamortizable intangible asset has a finite useful life, the intangible asset will be written down to the lower of its fair value or carrying amount and then amortized over its remaining useful life on a prospective basis. We review nonamortizable intangible assets annually for impairment and more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the intangible asset may be impaired. The impairment test includes a comparison of the fair value of the nonamortizable intangible asset with its carrying value. An impairment loss would be recognized as a charge to net earnings if the carrying value exceeded the fair value of the nonamortizable intangible asset. The balance of nonamortizable intangible assets of $11.2 million as of May 26, 2007 resulted primarily from the Inet acquisition during the second quarter of 2005. The nonamortizable intangible assets were recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date and no events or circumstances have arisen that would indicate that the nonamortizable intangible assets may be impaired.
 
As of May 26, 2007, we had $70.3 million of non-goodwill intangible assets recorded in Other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which were primarily from the Inet acquisition. These acquired intangible assets from acquisitions include patent intangibles and licenses for certain technologies.
 
We perform our annual goodwill and nonamortizable intangible asset impairment tests in the second quarter of each fiscal year. There were no impairment charges associated with goodwill and intangible assets in 2007, 2006, or 2005.
 
Pension Plans
 
We offer defined benefit pension plan benefits to employees in certain countries. The Cash Balance pension plan in the United States is our largest defined benefit pension plan. Employees hired after July 31, 2004 do not participate in the U.S. Cash Balance pension plan. We maintain less significant defined benefit plans in other countries including the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, and Taiwan. During the third quarter of the current year, we settled the Netherlands pension plan resulting in a $1.5 million settlement gain.
 
Effective with the adoption of SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R),” as of May 26, 2007, we are required to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a benefit plan as an asset or liability on our statement of financial position. The funded status of a benefit plan is measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation as of the measurement date. We measure benefit obligations, the fair value of plan assets, and the impact of significant assumptions at the end of each fiscal year. SFAS No. 158 also requires an employer to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income.
 
Upon adoption of SFAS No. 158, we recorded an after-tax adjustment of $127.2 million to the ending balance of accumulated other comprehensive loss for pension and postretirement benefit plans. The accumulated other comprehensive loss, before tax, consisted of $216.5 million of unrecognized actuarial loss, $5.6 million of unrecognized prior service income, and $0.4 million of unrecognized transition cost for pension and postretirement benefit plans. See Note 26 “Benefit Plans” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for further information.
 
Pension plans are a significant cost of doing business and the related obligations are expected to be settled far in the future. Accounting for defined benefit pension plans results in the recognition of pension liabilities and/or pension assets and net periodic pension cost over employees’ expected service periods based on the terms of the plans and the impact of our investment and funding decisions. The measurement of pension obligations and recognition of liabilities and/or assets and costs require significant assumptions. Two critical assumptions, the discount rate and the expected long-term rate of return on the assets of the plan, have a significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
 
Discount rate assumptions are used to measure pension obligations for the recognition of the pension liability and pension asset on the balance sheet, and for the service cost and interest cost components of net periodic pension

Table of Contents

cost. The discount rates reflect estimates of the rates at which the pension benefits could be effectively settled. In making those estimates, we evaluate rates of return on high-quality fixed-income investments currently available and expected to be available during the settlement of future pension benefits. The weighted average of discount rates used in determining our pension obligation as of May 26, 2007 and May 27, 2006 was 5.9%.
 
Discount rates of 6.0% and 6.25% were used as of May 26, 2007 and May 27, 2006, respectively, to determine the projected benefit obligation for the U.S. Cash Balance pension plan. Due to the adoption of SFAS No. 158, we recorded $32.1 million of long-term pension asset for the U.S. Cash Balance pension plan as of May 26, 2007, reflecting our overfunded status between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation at end of fiscal year 2007 under the new pension accounting standard. In addition, we recorded a pre-tax adjustment of $195.7 million to accumulated other comprehensive loss for the U.S. Cash Balance pension plan that primarily reflected cumulative unrecognized losses on plan assets, historical changes in the discount rate, and other actuarial assumptions, and is being amortized to the income statement.
 
A decrease of 25 basis points in the discount rate as of May 26, 2007 would increase the projected benefit obligation for the U.S. Cash Balance pension plan by $9.5 million, which would not affect the funded status of the plan. This decrease of 25 basis points in the discount rate would not significantly increase pension expense.
 
The long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption is applied to the market-related value of plan assets to estimate income from return on plan assets. This income from return on plan assets offsets the various cost components of net periodic pension cost. The various cost components of net periodic pension cost primarily include interest cost on accumulated benefits, service cost for benefits earned during the period, and amortization of unrecognized gains and losses. Cumulative income recognized from the long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption has differed materially from the actual returns on plan assets. This has resulted in a net unrecognized loss on plan assets. To the extent this unrecognized loss is not offset by future unrecognized gains, there will continue to be a negative impact to net earnings as this amount is amortized as a cost component of net periodic pension cost.
 
Our estimated weighted average long-term rate of return on plan assets for all plans for 2007 is approximately 8.5%. A 1% change in the estimated long-term rate of return on plan assets would have resulted in a change in operating income of $5.7 million for 2007.
 
No contribution has been made to the U.S. Cash Balance pension plan in 2007. We do not have significant statutory or contractual funding requirements for the qualified defined benefit plans and postretirement benefit plans. We may make additional cash contributions to the plans in the future depending on the future market performance of the pension plan assets.
 
We will continue to assess assumptions for the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and discount rate based on relevant market conditions as prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and will make adjustments to the assumptions as appropriate. Net pension expense was $14.6 million in 2007, which included the effect of the recognition of service cost, interest cost, the expected return on plan assets, and amortization of a portion of the unrecognized loss noted above. Net pension expense was allocated to Cost of sales, Research and development, and Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
Income Taxes
 
We are subject to taxation from federal, state, and international jurisdictions. Our annual provision for income taxes and the determination of the resulting deferred tax assets and liabilities involve a significant amount of management judgment and are based on the best information available at the time. The actual income tax liabilities to the jurisdictions with respect to any year are ultimately determined long after the financial statements have been published. We maintain reserves for estimated tax exposures in jurisdictions of operation. These tax jurisdictions include federal, state, and various international tax jurisdictions. Significant income tax exposures include potential challenges of research and experimentation credits, export-related tax benefits, disposition transactions, and intercompany pricing. Exposures are settled primarily through the settlement of audits within these tax jurisdictions


26

Table of Contents

but can also be affected by changes in applicable tax law or other factors, which could cause us to believe a revision of past estimates is appropriate.
 
We are subject to ongoing examinations of our tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other tax authorities in various jurisdictions. The liabilities associated with fiscal years subject to income tax audits will ultimately be resolved when events such as the completion of audits by the taxing jurisdictions occur. To the extent the audits or other events result in a material adjustment to the accrued estimates, the effect would be recognized in Income tax expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period of the event. We believe that an appropriate liability has been established for estimated exposures; however, actual results may differ materially from these estimates. The liabilities are regularly reviewed for their adequacy and appropriateness.
 
In April 2005, we reached a preliminary agreement with the IRS with respect to its examination of Tektronix’ fiscal years 2001, 2002, and 2003. At that time, we made a payment of $12.7 million with respect to this audit. In August 2005, we were notified that the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation had completed its review and had accepted the conclusions contained in the IRS Audit Report associated with the examination of those years. The settlement of this audit resulted in a net decrease of approximately $2.0 million of related reserves in the first quarter of 2006.
 
During 2007, the estimate of prior years’ reserves was reduced by $5.9 million to reflect the results of tax audits that concluded during the fiscal year, including the IRS examination of Tektronix’ fiscal years 2004 and 2005.
 
Judgment is applied in determining whether deferred tax assets will be realized in full or in part. When it is more likely than not that all or some portion of specific deferred tax assets such as foreign tax credit carryovers or net operating loss carryforwards will not be realized, a valuation allowance must be established for the amount of the deferred tax assets that are determined not to be realizable. At the end of 2005, we maintained a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets, primarily foreign tax credit carryforwards. During 2006, we were able to utilize the majority of these foreign tax credit carryforwards due to the financial results in various geographies and identified tax planning strategies. As of May 26, 2007, a valuation allowance of $1.5 million was maintained for certain international tax credits, state tax credits, and international net operating losses because we do not expect to have significant taxable income in the relevant jurisdiction in future periods to realize the benefit of these deferred tax assets. We have not established valuation allowances against other deferred tax assets based on identified tax strategies planned to mitigate the risk of impairment to these assets. Accordingly, if our facts or financial results were to change thereby impacting the likelihood of realizing the deferred tax assets, judgment would have to be applied to determine changes to the amount of the valuation allowance required to be in place on the financial statements in any given period. We continually evaluate strategies that could allow the future utilization of our deferred tax assets.

Fiscal Year 2007 Compared to Fiscal Year 2006
 
Executive Summary
 
Fiscal year 2007 began with a fairly steady market environment for both of our businesses. The market remained steady for our Instruments Business, but in the second quarter we began to observe some delays in capital expenditures by network operators and network equipment manufacturers. The communications market continued to slow in our third quarter and remained weak in our fourth quarter, substantially driven by the impact of consolidations among equipment manufacturers, as well as budgetary pressures and timing of expansion business relative to new network installations. In 2007, orders in our Instruments Business grew 11% compared to 2006, driven by the success of new products and a large digital design win in that business. Communications Business orders declined 20% year over year due to the market softening as well as a very difficult comparison to the prior year when we received some exceptionally large orders in our network management business. Overall, orders increased 2% in 2007 compared to 2006. Sales increased 6% in 2007 compared to the prior year, as backlog increased less in 2007 than it did in the prior year. Earnings were $90.4 million in 2007. Earnings decreased $2.0 million year over year primarily due to an increase in operating expense, including the initial recognition of certain share-based compensation expense, and higher non-operating expense, partially offset by an increase in sales volume, higher interest income, and a reduction in income tax expense.
 
Orders
 
The following table presents orders from Instruments Business and Communications Business:
 
                         
    Fiscal Years Ended        
    May 26,
 		    May 27,
 		       
    2007     2006     % Change  
    (In thousands)        
 
Instruments Business
  $ 903,924     $ 810,942       11 %
Communications Business
    253,822       319,021       (20 )%
                         
Total orders
  $ 1,157,746     $ 1,129,963       2 %
                         
 
Beginning with the first quarter of 2007, Instruments Business service orders and Maxtek orders are included in reported orders for the Instruments Business. Accordingly, prior year comparative periods have been adjusted to reflect orders under this same definition.
 
For 2007, orders increased by $27.8 million or 2% from the prior year. Instruments Business orders increased 11% while Communications Business orders decreased 20%. In 2007, the U.S. Dollar weakened against major foreign currencies, increasing 2007 orders by $9.5 million as compared to the prior year. Orders for each business are discussed separately below.
 
Instruments Business
 
Orders for Instruments Business products consist of cancelable customer commitments to purchase products with delivery scheduled generally within six months of being recorded. During 2007, Instruments Business orders increased by $93.0 million or 11% from the prior year. Instruments Business orders growth was driven by strong customer response to multiple new products introduced over the last 18 months and by a large digital design win that drove strong orders in both the second and third quarters of the current year. In addition, in the first part of the year, orders growth was favorably impacted by comparison to the first quarter of 2006 when we were still experiencing some soft market conditions.
 
Communications Business
 
Orders for Communications Business products consist of cancelable customer commitments to purchase network management and diagnostic solutions with delivery scheduled generally within six months of being recorded. Large network management orders typically involve multiple deliverables which may be delivered over a period longer than six months.

Table of Contents

Communications Business orders include service and maintenance renewal orders. The majority of our network management service renewals have contract periods of one year. Revenue for these orders is recognized ratably over the contract period. Any unrecognized portion of these orders is included as a component of order backlog. The unrecognized portion of service contracts that have been billed is included in Deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
During 2007, Communications Business orders decreased by $65.2 million, or 20% from the prior year. In 2006, we received a number of individually large orders in the network management business. These exceptionally large orders did not repeat in 2007 and contributed to the Communications Business orders decline in comparison to 2006. The network management business is one in which the timing of very large orders can cause fluctuations in total Communications Business orders that will be reflected in year-over-year and sequential comparisons. In addition, the Communications Business orders were impacted by market weakness driven by lower capital spending by network equipment manufacturers largely related to industry consolidation and by slowing capital investments by network carriers.
 
Orders by Region
 
The following table presents total orders by region:
 
                         
    Fiscal Years Ended

Total orders
  $ 1,157,746     $ 1,129,963       2 %
                         
 
For 2007, orders in the United States grew 8% compared to 2006. Growth in the United States was driven primarily by the large digital design win in our Instruments Business partially offset by the impact of a difficult comparison to 2006 when we received some exceptionally large orders in our network management business that did not repeat in 2007. International orders in 2007 remained flat compared to the prior period. International orders in our Instruments Business grew 8%, driven by strong response to new products. This growth was offset by decline in our Communications Business, driven by the difficult comparison to the large orders received in 2006. Communications Business orders in both the United States and International region were negatively impacted by the weak market conditions in 2007.
 
Net Sales
 
Changes in net sales are impacted by changes in orders and changes in backlog levels, as well as currency fluctuations and other items that affect the timing of revenue recognition, especially revenue associated with our network management products. For more information on revenue recognition, refer to the discussion in Critical Accounting Estimates.
 
Consolidated net sales of $1.11 billion during 2007 increased by 6% over the prior year. Sales increased by more than orders due to a smaller increase in backlog in 2007 compared to the increase in backlog in 2006.
 
Total backlog at May 26, 2007 was $283.2 million, an increase of $38.6 million in 2007, as compared to an increase of $73.4 million in the prior year. A large majority of the unfilled orders will be delivered to customers within one year. In our network management business, we may receive orders that include a multi-year service contract or a requirement to perform development that could delay delivery of all or a portion of an order beyond the upcoming fiscal year.
 
Backlog levels are affected by the timing of orders received within the fiscal year and the delivery of those orders. The geographical distribution of sales is directly correlated to the geographical distribution of orders. However, as we increase or decrease the level of backlog within any given fiscal year, this direct correlation may vary.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin
 
Gross profit of $661.1 million increased $39.7 million for 2007 as compared to the prior year. Gross profit increased largely due to the increase in net sales, a reduction in incentives expenses, and the timing of some expenses in 2007 compared to the prior year. These improvements were partially offset primarily by higher initial costs for new network management installations; higher sustaining engineering expense driven by the “Restriction of Hazardous Substances” worldwide regulatory provisions; higher warranty costs associated with some new products; and higher freight and duty due to an increase in manufacturing outside of the United States.
 
Gross margin is the measure of gross profit as a percentage of net sales. Gross margin for 2007 was 59.8%, the same as for 2006. Gross margin is affected by a variety of factors including product cost, mix of product shipments, sales volumes, product pricing, foreign currency, inventory impairments, and other costs such as warranty repair, sustaining engineering, and freight and duty. In 2007, the benefit of higher sales volumes, lower incentives, and expense timing were offset by the higher initial costs for new network management installations, higher warranty costs associated with some new products, increased freight and duty, and higher sustaining engineering expenses.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Operating expenses include research and development expenses; selling, general and administrative expenses; business realignment costs; acquisition related costs and amortization; and net gains or losses from the disposition of fixed assets. Each of these categories of operating expenses is discussed further below. A portion of our expenses will increase as a result of inflation and annual labor-related cost increases. Accordingly, as we make cost reductions in response to changes in business levels or other specific business events, these reductions can be partially or wholly offset by these other increases to the fixed cost structure. Additionally, we must continue to invest in the development of new products and the infrastructure to market and sell those products even during periods where operating results reflect only nominal growth, are flat, or declining.
 
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses are incurred for the design and testing of new products, technologies and processes, including pre-production prototypes, models, and tools. Such costs include labor and employee benefits, contract services, materials, equipment, and facilities. R&D expenses were $199.9 million during 2007, an increase of $16.5 million as compared to the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to the initial recognition of certain share-based compensation expense in fiscal 2007, higher salaries, and increased contractor expense to support higher levels of business.
 
We continuously invest in the development of new products and technologies, and the timing of these costs varies depending on the stage of the development process. At times, we may focus certain engineering resources on the maintenance of the current product portfolio (sustaining engineering), which is expensed in Cost of goods sold on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $341.1 million during 2007, an increase of $38.8 million, as compared to the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable the initial recognition of certain share-based compensation expense in the current year, higher salaries, and increased headcount to support higher levels of business.
 
Acquisition related costs and amortization are incurred as a direct result of the integration of significant acquisitions. The acquisition related costs of $7.9 million for 2007 primarily included $5.7 million related to the Inet acquisition and a $1.6 million write-off of In-Process Research & Development (“IPR&D”) and $0.3 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets related to the Minacom acquisition. See “Acquisitions” above in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for additional information.

Business realignments costs represent actions to realign our cost structure in response to significant changes in operating levels or a significant acquisition or divestiture. These costs primarily comprise severance costs for reductions in employee headcount and costs associated with the closure of facilities and subsidiaries. Total business realignment costs were $9.1 million in 2007.
 
The net loss on disposition of assets during 2007 was $1.0 million. In 2006, there was a net gain of $1.4 million.
 
Non-Operating Income/Expense
 
Interest income was $16.6 million during 2007, an increase of $3.1 million from the prior year. The increase in interest income was due to higher yields on invested cash during the current year.
 
Interest expense during 2007 and 2006 was not significant. Interest expense is expected to increase in future years. Subsequent to the end of 2007, we issued $345.0 million principal amount of convertible notes due on July 15, 2012. The convertible notes pay interest at a rate of 1.625% per annum. Interest will be paid semi-annually in arrears in cash on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning January 15, 2008.
 
During 2007, we incurred Other non-operating expense, net of $5.3 million as compared to $3.4 million in the prior year. The increase in Other non-operating expense, net was due to an increase in reserves for planned environmental remediation activity, partially offset by a gain on sale of equity securities and the reversal of a previously recorded impairment of a note upon collection of that note.
 
Income Taxes
 
Income tax expense for 2007 was $25.6 million, which represents an effective tax rate of 22.7%. This was a reduction from 2006 when income tax expense was $37.5 million with an effective tax rate of 29.2%. The lower tax rate in the current year was primarily attributable to the reinstatement of the federal research and development tax credit legislation, which included a retroactive adjustment for the prior year when the credit was not available, reversal of estimates related to prior years’ reserves due to conclusions of tax audits in multiple jurisdictions, and the ability to recognize tax exempt interest income from investment in municipal bonds. During 2007, tax exempt municipal bonds were added to the marketable investments portfolio.
 
The effective tax rate includes a variety of estimates such as the amount of taxable income for the fiscal year, the mix of that income between foreign and domestic sources, and the estimate of tax benefits to be received from the extraterritorial income exclusion and the domestic manufacturer’s deduction. In addition, the effective tax rate is affected by the conclusion of audits by taxing jurisdictions, which may differ from previous estimates associated with the audits. To the extent our estimates and other amounts or circumstances change, the effective tax rate may change accordingly.
 
Discontinued Operations
 
The gain from discontinued operations, net of tax, during 2007 of $3.1 million was due to the recognition of a previously deferred gain associated with the sale of our Color Printing and Imaging Division in 2000. The net gain


32

from discontinued operations during 2006 was associated with the resolution of a contingency and an insurance settlement.
 
Net Earnings
 
For 2007, we recognized consolidated net earnings of $90.4 million, a decrease of $2.0 million from net earnings of $92.4 million for 2006. Earnings decreased year over year primarily due to an increase in operating expense, including the initial recognition of certain share-based compensation expense, and higher non-operating expense, partially offset by an increase in sales volume, higher interest income, and a reduction in income tax expense.
 
Earnings Per Share
 
The increase in earnings per share was a result of lower weighted average shares outstanding resulting from share repurchases, partially offset by the slight decrease in net earnings discussed above.
 
Fiscal Year 2006 Compared to Fiscal Year 2005
 
Fiscal year 2006 included a full year of results of operations from the acquisition of Inet, while fiscal year 2005 included only eight months of Inet results.
 
Executive Summary
 
2006 began with a mixed market environment. In the first quarter we saw orders growth in some product lines and decline in others. In the second quarter, business levels improved and orders grew sequentially in the second quarter and in the subsequent quarters. For the year, orders were $1.13 billion and sales were $1.04 billion, the highest annual orders and sales levels since 2001. These results were primarily due to the strength of new products in our Instruments Business, our ability to win large orders in our Communications Business, and the impact of a full year of business from the Inet acquisition. Orders grew 12% compared to 2005. Sales increased just slightly over the prior year, but backlog increased by over $73.4 million. Earnings increased year over year to $92.4 million from $81.6 million in the prior year driven primarily by a reduction in acquisition related expenses, partly offset by an increase in engineering and selling, general and administrative expenses.
 
Orders
 
Beginning with the first quarter of 2007, Instruments Business service orders and Maxtek orders are included in reported orders for the Instruments Business. Accordingly, 2006 and 2005 comparative periods have been adjusted to reflect orders under this same definition.
 
The following table presents orders from Instruments Business and Communications Business:
 
                         
    Fiscal Years Ended        
    May 27,
 		    May 28,

Total orders
  $ 1,129,963     $ 1,011,272       12 %
                         
 
For 2006, orders increased by $118.7 million or 12% from the prior year. Instruments Business orders increased 1% while Communications Business orders increased 54%. Of the $118.7 million, $49.1 million was driven by a full year of impact from the Inet acquisition, as compared to only eight months of Inet orders in 2005. In 2006, the U.S. Dollar strengthened against major foreign currencies, reducing 2006 orders as compared to the prior year.

Instruments Business
 
Orders for Instruments Business products consist of cancelable customer commitments to purchase products with delivery scheduled generally within six months of being recorded. During 2006, Instruments Business orders increased by $7.1 million or 1% from the prior year. Instruments Business was impacted by the market softening that began in the fourth quarter of 2005 and continued into the first quarter of 2006. In addition, there may have been a competitive impact on some product areas during 2006. In the first quarter of 2006, Instruments Business orders declined compared to the same period in the prior year. In the second quarter of 2006, business levels improved which resulted in second quarter orders that were comparable to the same quarter in 2005. In the third quarter of 2006, we believe we strengthened our competitive position with the introduction of more new products. For both the third and fourth quarters of 2006, orders growth was 7% compared to the same periods in the prior year.
 
Communications Business
 
Orders for Communications Business products consist of cancelable customer commitments to purchase network management and diagnostic solutions with delivery scheduled generally within six months of being recorded. Large network management orders typically involve multiple deliverables which may be delivered over a period longer than six months.
 
The majority of our network management service renewals have contract periods of one year. Revenue for these orders is recognized ratably over the contract period. Any unrecognized portion of these orders is included as a component of order backlog. The unrecognized portion of service contracts that have been billed is included in Deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
During 2006, Communications Business orders increased by $111.5 million, or 54% from the prior year. The majority of the growth was driven by the success of our network management product offerings in a strong telecommunications market. We received a number of individually large orders in 2006 in the network management business. Orders in the remaining portion of the Communications Business declined by 1% for 2006 as compared to the prior year, primarily due to some softness in the mobile diagnostics segment of the market and some competitive impact. In addition, 2006 reflected twelve months of orders from the Inet acquisition as compared to only eight months in the prior year. The impact of the additional four months was $49.1 million.
 
Orders by Region
 
The following table presents total orders by region:
 
                         
    Fiscal Years Ended        
    May 27,
 		    May 28,
 		       
    2006     2005     % Change

United States
  $ 400,708     $ 360,563       11 %

    729,255       650,709       12 %
                         
Total orders
  $ 1,129,963     $ 1,011,272       12 %
                         
 
For 2006, orders in the United States grew 11% compared to 2005. Growth internationally was 12% for the same period. The growth was driven by the additional four months of Inet results and our success at winning orders from telecommunication companies investing in next-generation networks. Excluding Inet, orders in the United States and in International regions increased just slightly in 2006 as compared to 2005. The flat orders were driven by the same factors that impacted Instruments Business orders and the non-Inet portion of the Communications Business, both discussed above.
 
Net Sales
 
Changes in net sales are impacted by changes in orders and changes in backlog levels, as well as currency fluctuations and other items that impact the timing of revenue recognition, especially revenue associated with our


34

Table of Contents

network management products. For more information on revenue recognition, refer to the discussion in Critical Accounting Estimates.
 
Consolidated net sales of $1.04 billion during 2006 increased less than 1% over the prior year. Sales increased by less than orders due to an increase in backlog in 2006 and a decrease in backlog in the prior year, excluding the impact of backlog acquired in the Inet acquisition.
 
Total backlog at May 27, 2006 was $244.6 million, an increase of $73.4 million in 2006, as compared to a decrease of $26.6 million in the prior year, excluding the impact of $55.6 million of Inet backlog acquired in 2005 without corresponding orders. Excluding backlog associated with Inet products, backlog was $102.5 million at May 27, 2006, an increase of $5.2 million in 2006, as compared to a decrease of $44.9 million in the prior year. A large majority of the unfilled orders will be delivered to customers within one year. In our network management business, we may receive orders that include a multi-year service contract or a requirement to perform development that could delay delivery of all or a portion of an order beyond the upcoming fiscal year.
 
Backlog levels are affected by the timing of orders received within the fiscal year and the delivery of those products. The geographical distribution of sales is directly correlated to the geographical distribution of orders. However, as we increase or decrease the level of backlog within any given fiscal year, this direct correlation may vary.
 
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
 
Gross profit of $621.4 million increased $2.7 million for 2006 as compared to the prior year. Gross profit increased largely due to the increase in net sales, a reduction in incentives expenses, and an improvement in product mix in 2006 compared to the prior year. These improvements were partially offset primarily by higher amortization of acquisition related intangibles due to a full-year of Inet business; higher sustaining engineering expense driven by the “Restriction of Hazardous Substances” worldwide regulatory provisions; and higher freight and duty driven by an increase in manufacturing outside of the United States.
 
Gross margin is the measure of gross profit as a percentage of net sales. Gross margin for 2006 was 59.8%, the same as for 2005. Gross margin is affected by a variety of factors including product cost, mix of product shipments, sales volumes, product pricing, foreign currency, inventory impairments and other costs such as warranty repair, sustaining engineering, and freight and duty. Unfavorable currency impacts, increased freight and duty, sustaining expenses, and higher amortization of acquisition related intangibles were offset by the slightly higher volume, better product mix, and lower incentives in 2006 as compared to 2005. New products introduced late in 2006 had initially higher production costs than expected in the long term.
 
Amortization of acquisition related intangibles charged to cost of sales increased $6.6 million in 2006. The increase was largely attributed to twelve months of amortization of Inet intangibles in 2006 as compared to eight months in 2005. Gross margin was favorably impacted by $2.0 million in 2006 as compared to 2005 due to lower inventory step-up adjustments to fair value from the Inet acquisition.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Operating expenses include research and development expenses; selling, general and administrative expenses; business realignment costs; acquisition related costs and amortization; and net gains and losses from the disposition of fixed assets. Each of these categories of operating expenses is discussed further below. It should be noted that although a portion of operating expenses is variable and therefore will fluctuate with operating levels, many costs are fixed in nature and are therefore subject to increase due to inflation and annual labor cost increases. Additionally, we must continue to invest in the development of new products and the infrastructure to market and sell those products even during periods where operating results reflect only nominal growth, are flat, or declining. Accordingly, as we make cost reductions in response to changes in business levels or other specific business events, these reductions can be partially or wholly offset by these other increases to the fixed cost structure.
 
Research and development expenses are incurred for the design and testing of new products, technologies, and processes, including pre-production prototypes, models, and tools. Such costs include labor and employee benefits, contract services, materials, equipment, and facilities. R&D expenses were $183.4 million during 2006, an increase


35

Table of Contents

of $19.9 million as compared to the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to the impact of the additional four months of Inet R&D expenses in 2006 as compared to the prior year.
 
We continuously invest in the development of new products and technologies, and the timing of these costs varies depending on the stage of the development process. At times, we may focus certain engineering resources on the maintenance of the current product portfolio (sustaining engineering), which is expensed in Cost of goods sold on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $302.3 million during 2006, an increase of $1.4 million, as compared to the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to the impact of the additional four months of Inet SG&A expenses in 2006 as compared to the prior year partially offset by an $11.1 million decrease in SG&A expense in the remainder of the business. The decrease was primarily due to lower litigation expense and lower discretionary spending.
 
Acquisition related costs and amortization are incurred as a direct result of the integration of significant acquisitions. The acquisition related costs of $8.6 million for 2006 primarily related to the acquisition of Inet and represented the amortization of acquired intangible assets and transition costs. Acquisition related costs in 2005 of $41.6 million included a $32.2 million write-off of IPR&D, $3.4 million for amortization of intangible assets, and $3.0 million for transition expenses resulting from the Inet acquisition. The Inet purchase price and the allocation of the purchase price are discussed in Note 6 “Acquisitions” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
 
Also included in 2006 were transition expenses of $0.4 million related to our redemption of Sony/Tektronix in 2003, and $0.7 million related to other acquisitions. The transition expenses of $0.4 million in 2006 and $2.9 million in 2005 related to our redemption of Sony/Tektronix in 2003 primarily reflected the accrual for voluntary retention bonuses offered to certain employees in Gotemba, Japan as an incentive to remain with Tektronix while we completed our plan to transition manufacturing operations to other locations.

Business realignments costs represent actions to realign our cost structure in response to significant changes in operating levels or a significant acquisition or divestiture. These costs primarily comprise severance costs for reductions in employee headcount and costs associated with the closure of facilities and subsidiaries. At the end of 2005 and into the first quarter of 2006, we experienced softening in orders in our general purpose product categories. In response, we took actions to reduce our cost structure. During this time period, we also took actions to realize business synergies as a result of the acquisition of Inet. During 2006 we incurred business realignment costs of $9.8 million. For a full description of the components of business realignment costs, see “Business Realignment Costs” above in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
The net gain on disposition of assets during 2006 was primarily due to the sale of property located in Nevada City, California. Net proceeds of $2.1 million were received from the sale of the Nevada City assets with a carrying

Table of Contents

value of $0.5 million, resulting in a gain on sale of $1.6 million. This gain was partially offset by losses on asset dispositions incurred in the ordinary course of business.
 
Non-Operating Income/Expense
 
Interest income was $13.6 million during 2006, a decrease of 21% from the prior year. The decrease in interest income was due to a lower average balance of cash and investments during 2006 resulting from our use of cash for planned pension funding, the repurchase of Tektronix common stock, and the payout of incentives accrued in the prior year, partially offset by higher yields on invested cash.
 
Interest expense during 2006 and 2005 was not significant.
 
During 2006, we incurred Other non-operating expense, net of $3.4 million as compared to $3.6 million in the prior year. The decrease in Other non-operating expense, net was due to lower litigation expense in 2006 as compared to the prior year, as well as a gain of $2.7 million that was realized in 2005 from the sale of 1.4 million shares of Tut Systems, Inc. common stock.
 
Income Taxes
 
Income tax expense for 2006 was $37.5 million, which represents an effective tax rate of 29%. This included the impact of purchase accounting adjustments from the Inet acquisition, such as the amortization of acquisition related items, as well as the generation of research credits and the utilization of previously impaired foreign tax credit carryovers. Excluding the impact of the Inet purchase accounting adjustments, the effective tax rate for 2006 was 30%, the same as for 2005.
 
Discontinued Operations
 
The gain from discontinued operations during 2006 was $1.5 million associated with the resolution of a contingency and an insurance settlement.
 
Net Earnings
 
For 2006, we recognized consolidated net earnings of $92.4 million, an increase of $10.8 million from net earnings of $81.6 million for 2005. Earnings increased year over year due to a reduction in acquisition related expenses, partly offset by an increase in R&D, SG&A, and business realignment costs.
 
Earnings Per Share
 
The increase in earnings per share was a result of the increased net earnings discussed above, and to a lesser extent, due to lower weighted average shares outstanding in 2006 which included shares issued for employee stock plans offset by share repurchases.

Table of Contents

Operating Activities.  Cash provided by operating activities amounted to $152.7 million and $95.5 million for 2007 and 2006, respectively. Cash provided by operating activities is net earnings adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities.
 
In 2007, our operating cash flows resulted primarily from the net income generated during the period, an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, deferred revenue, and accrued compensation, and the positive impact of non-cash items reflected in net income such as amortization of acquisition related intangible assets, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation, and the write-off of IPR&D. These increases were partially offset by increases in inventories, trade accounts receivable, and other current assets. There was no contribution made to our U.S. Cash Balance pension plan in 2007.
 
In 2006, our operating cash flows resulted primarily from the net income generated during the period, an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and the positive impact of non-cash items reflected in net income such as amortization of acquisition related intangible assets and depreciation and amortization expense. These increases were partially offset by increases in inventories and trade accounts receivable, and contributions made to our defined benefit plans.
 
Other adjustments to reconcile net earnings to net cash provided by operating activities in the current year such as amortization of acquisition related items are presented on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
 
Investing Activities.  Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $88.2 million in 2007 as compared to $77.2 million of net cash provided by investing activities in 2006. Cash flows from our investing activities were the result of purchasing and selling marketable investments, acquisition of businesses and property, plant and equipment, and proceeds from the sale of corporate equity securities.
 
Net cash of $34.3 million was used in 2007 for purchases and sales of marketable investments. During 2007, tax exempt municipal bonds were added to the marketable investments portfolio. In 2006 net cash provided by purchases and sales of marketable investments was $119.0 million.
 
Cash used for the acquisition of businesses was $28.1 million for the acquisition of Minacom in 2007, and $8.0 million for two smaller acquisitions in 2006. See “Acquisitions” in Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations above for additional information on these acquisitions.
 
Cash used in the acquisition of property, plant and equipment to be used in the normal course of business was $30.1 million and $36.3 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
Proceeds from the disposition of property, plant and equipment were insignificant in 2007 and were $2.5 million in 2006. In 2006, the proceeds were primarily from the sale of a parcel of property we owned in Nevada City, California.
 
In 2007, we received proceeds of $4.1 million from the sale of common stock of Tut Systems, Inc and Merix Corporation. Proceeds from the sale of corporate equity securities were insignificant in 2006.
 
Financing Activities.  Cash used in financing activities amounted to $187.4 million and $88.7 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively. Cash flows from our financing activities were primarily the result of repurchase of Tektronix common stock and dividend payments, partially offset by proceeds from employee stock plans.
 
In 2007 and 2006, cash used for the repurchase of Tektronix common stock was $191.1 million and $120.8 million, respectively. During 2007, 6.7 million shares of Tektronix common stock were repurchased at an average price of $28.61 per share. In 2006, 4.8 million shares of common stock were repurchased at an average price of $25.02 per share.
 
The above noted repurchases of Tektronix common stock were made under authorizations totaling $1.25 billion approved by the Board of Directors. These authorizations to purchase common stock on the open market or through negotiated transactions comprised $550.0 million in 2000, $400.0 million in 2005, and $300.0 million in 2007. As of May 26, 2007, our cumulative repurchases totaled $909.1 million for 36.5 million shares at an average price of $24.93 per share. The reacquired shares were immediately retired, in accordance with Oregon corporate law. As of May 26, 2007, $340.9 million remained open under these authorizations.

Table of Contents

Proceeds from employee stock plans were $17.4 million and $52.5 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
Dividend payments were $19.5 million in 2007, compared with $20.0 million in 2006, due to the lower number of shares outstanding in 2007.
 
On June 21, 2007, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share for the first quarter of 2008. The dividend will be paid on July 30, 2007 to shareholders of record as of the close of market on July 6, 2007.
 
At May 26, 2007, we maintained unsecured bank credit facilities totaling $75.6 million, of which $62.8 million was unused. These facilities do not have an expiration date or a fixed interest rate. In addition, no covenants are required by the banks.
 
Subsequent to the end of 2007, we issued $345.0 million principal amount of convertible notes due on July 15, 2012. The primary use of the proceeds will be for additional repurchases under our share repurchase program and for other corporate purposes. The convertible notes pay interest at a rate of 1.625% per annum. Interest will be paid semi-annually in arrears in cash on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning January 15, 2008. Concurrent with this debt placement, we repurchased 3.2 million shares of common stock, at an average price per share of $34.57, for $110.0 million.
 
Concurrent with the issuance of the convertible notes, we purchased convertible note hedges for $74.5 million. In addition, we sold warrants for $44.0 million in separate transactions.
 
Contractual Obligations
 
The contractual obligation summary below represents our estimates of future payment under fixed contractual obligations and commitments. The actual payments may differ from these estimates due to changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions, and other factors. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing of the payment schedule and the amounts of payments.
 
The following table summarizes our contractual obligations at May 26, 2007:

(3) Represents the current balance of employee severance obligations from business realignment actions. The majority of the payments are expected to be paid within the next fiscal year; however, payments outside of the United States, especially in Europe, may extend beyond one year.
 
We do not have significant statutory or contractual funding requirements for our qualified defined benefit plans and postretirement benefit plans. See Note 26 “Benefit Plans” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for more information about our benefit plans.
 
Due to the issuance of the convertible notes discussed above, we will pay interest at a rate of 1.625% per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning January 15, 2008.

Working Capital
 
The following table summarizes working capital as of May 26, 2007 and May 27, 2006:
 
                 
    2007     2006  
    (In thousands)  
 
Current assets:
               
Cash and cash equivalents
  $ 95,887     $ 215,587  
Short-term marketable investments
    87,873       121,346  
Trade accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $3,380 and $3,079, respectively
    188,070       174,599  
Inventories
    176,267       156,351  
Other current assets
    71,743       69,002  
                 
Total current assets
    619,840       736,885  
Current liabilities:
               
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
    134,349       133,323  
Accrued compensation
    75,761       71,718  
Deferred revenue
    89,340       66,677  
                 
Total current liabilities
    299,450       271,718  
                 
Working capital
  $ 320,390     $ 465,167  
                 
 
Working capital decreased in the current year by $144.8 million. Current assets decreased in the current year by $117.0 million, largely as a result of a $119.7 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a $33.5 million decrease in short-term marketable investments, used primarily for the repurchase of common stock. The $13.5 million increase in accounts receivable was due to the timing of shipments at the end of the fourth quarter of the current year. The $19.9 million increase in inventories was due to the timing of shipments of finished goods inventory and production of demonstration equipment largely related to new product activity. Other current assets increased $2.7 million due to the timing of prepaid expenses, income taxes receivable, and other receivables.
 
Current liabilities increased $27.7 million, primarily from an increase of $22.7 million in deferred revenue, largely for network management products. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased $1.0 million, primarily due to increases in income taxes payable and other accruals, offset by lower liabilities for manufacturing purchases. Accrued compensation increased $4.0 million related to current pension liabilities.
 
Significant changes in cash and cash equivalents and marketable investments are discussed in the Sources and Uses of Cash section above. Cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities and current borrowing capacity are expected to be sufficient to fund operations, acquisitions, capital expenditures, and contractual obligations through 2008.
 
Subsequent to the end of 2007, we issued $345.0 million principal amount of convertible notes due on July 15, 2012. In addition, we sold warrants for $44.0 million in separate transactions. Concurrent with the issuance of the convertible notes, we purchased convertible note hedges for $74.5 million and repurchased $110.0 million of our common stock under our stock repurchase program. The primary use of the proceeds will be for additional repurchases under our share repurchase program and for other corporate purposes.
 
In connection with the issuance of the convertible notes discussed above, we expect accounts payable and accrued liabilities to increase in the next fiscal year due to accrued interest on the notes.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.” SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that “...under some circumstances,


40

Table of Contents

items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges...” SFAS No. 151 requires that those items be recognized as current period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal.” In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. We adopted SFAS No. 151 beginning with the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 without a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”). This pronouncement requires compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. Prior to May 28, 2006, we accounted for stock-based compensation according to Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25. On May 28, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123R. See Note 5 “Share-Based Compensation” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for a description of the effects on our results of operations and financial position.
 
In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — a replacement of APB No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.” SFAS No. 154 supersedes APB No. 20, “Accounting Changes,” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless this would be impracticable. When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an accounting change on one or more individual prior periods presented, this statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable. This statement also requires that if an entity changes its method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, nonfinancial assets, the change must be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate. We adopted SFAS No. 154 beginning with the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 without a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. We will be required to adopt this interpretation in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. Management is currently evaluating the requirements of FIN No. 48 and has not yet determined the impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108 regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. SAB No. 108 states that registrants should use both a balance sheet approach and an income statement approach when quantifying and evaluating the materiality of a misstatement. The interpretations in SAB No. 108 contain guidance on correcting errors under the dual approach as well as provide transition guidance for correcting errors. This interpretation does not change the requirements within SFAS No. 154 for the correction of an error on financial statements. We adopted SAB No. 108 in fiscal year 2007 without a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This pronouncement applies under other accounting standards that require or permit fair value measurements. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurement. We will be required to adopt SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. Management is currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS No. 157 and has not yet determined the impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R).” This pronouncement requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit


41

Table of Contents

postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability on its statement of financial position using prospective application. SFAS No. 158 also requires an employer to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. In addition, this statement requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. We adopted this statement on May 26, 2007, the end of fiscal year 2007. See Note 26 “Benefit Plans” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for further information.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” This standard permits an entity to measure many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis. We will be required to adopt SFAS No. 159 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. Management is currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS No. 159 and has not yet determined the impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
Item 7A.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
Financial Market Risk
 
Tektronix is exposed to financial market risks, including interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks.
 
Tektronix maintains a short-term and long-term investment portfolio consisting of asset backed securities, corporate notes and bonds, fixed rate commercial paper, mortgage securities, municipal bonds, and U.S. Treasury and agency notes. The weighted average maturity of the portfolio, excluding mortgage securities, is two years or less. Mortgage securities have a weighted average life of less than seven years and are managed consistent with the Lehman Mortgage Index. An increase in interest rates of similar instruments would decrease the value of certain of these investments. A 10% rise in interest rates as of May 26, 2007 would reduce the market value by $1.3 million, which would be reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income on the Consolidated Balance Sheets until sold.
 
Tektronix is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk primarily through commitments denominated in foreign currencies. Tektronix utilizes derivative financial instruments, primarily forward foreign currency exchange contracts, generally with maturities of one to three months, to mitigate this risk where natural hedging strategies cannot be employed. Tektronix’ policy is to only enter into derivative transactions when Tektronix has an identifiable exposure to risk, thus not creating additional foreign currency exchange rate risk. At May 26, 2007, a 10% adverse movement in exchange rates would result in a $3.5 million loss on British Pound, Euro, Japanese Yen, Swedish Krona, and Swiss Franc forward contracts with a notional amount of $35.5 million.

Item 8.   Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
 
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Tektronix, Inc.
Beaverton, Oregon
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tektronix, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of May 26, 2007 and May 27, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the fiscal years ended May 26, 2007, May 27, 2006, and May 28, 2005. Our audits also included the consolidated financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)2. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tektronix, Inc. and subsidiaries as of May 26, 2007 and May 27, 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the fiscal years ended May 26, 2007, May 27, 2006, and May 28, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such consolidated financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
 
As discussed in Notes 3 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, on May 28, 2006, the Company changed its method of accounting for share-based compensation upon the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. As discussed in Notes 3 and 26 to the consolidated financial statements, on May 26, 2007, the Company changed its method of accounting for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans upon the adoption of SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R).
 
As discussed in Note 26, the plan assets of the defined benefit pension plan included investments in real estate, absolute return funds, and private equity valued at $119.9 million, whose fair values have been estimated by management in the absence of readily determinable fair values. Management’s estimates are based on information provided by the fund managers or the general partners. The value of plan assets directly affects funded status of the defined benefit plans recorded in the financial statements.
 
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of May 26, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated July 23, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Communications Business includes telecommunications network management solutions and services and network diagnostics products.
 
Tektronix maintains operations and conducts business in four major geographies: the Americas, Europe, the Pacific, and Japan.
 
2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Financial statement presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tektronix and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation with no effect on previously reported earnings. Tektronix’ fiscal year is the 52 or 53 weeks ending the last Saturday in May. Fiscal years 2007, 2006, and 2005 included 52 weeks. Fiscal year 2008 will be the 53 weeks ending May 31, 2008. Unless otherwise stated, all dates and references to years or quarters refer to Tektronix’ fiscal years or fiscal quarters.
 
Use of estimates
 
The presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions, including those used to record the results of discontinued operations, affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the revenues and expenses reported during the period. Examples include revenue recognition; share-based compensation; the allowance for doubtful accounts; product warranty accrual; estimates of contingencies; intangible asset valuation; inventory valuation; pension plan assumptions; the determination of other-than-temporary investment impairments; and the valuation of deferred income taxes and income tax contingencies. Actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents include cash deposits in banks and highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Tektronix places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. The majority of cash deposits and temporary cash investments are not covered by available depository insurance.

Tektronix, Inc.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Trade accounts receivable, net
 
Trade accounts receivable, which are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts, are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is Tektronix’ best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable. Tektronix determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on past transactions history, customer specific experience, and other factors.
 
Marketable investments
 
Short-term marketable investments include debt securities with maturities of greater than three months at the date of acquisition and less than one year at the balance sheet date. Long-term marketable investments include investments with maturities of greater than one year.
 
At May 26, 2007 and May 27, 2006, marketable investments were classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair market value with the related unrealized holdings gains and losses excluded from earnings and included, net of deferred income taxes, in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The specific identification method is used to recognize realized gains and losses on the sale of marketable investments.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined based on a standard cost method, which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Market is determined based on net realizable value. Tektronix’ definitions of materials and work in process have changed and amounts in Note 11 “Inventories” have been updated accordingly. Inventory now transfers from materials to work in process when it is used in production, whereas previously it had been considered work in process when available for production. Tektronix regularly reviews its inventory for obsolete or slow-moving items.
 
Property, plant and equipment
 
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from ten to forty years for buildings and two to seven years for machinery and equipment, and is provided using the straight-line method.
 
Income taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current fiscal year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in Tektronix’ consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes, reflecting the impact of temporary differences between assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting and tax purposes, are based on tax laws currently enacted. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
Tektronix is subject to ongoing tax examinations of its tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other tax authorities in various jurisdictions. The liabilities associated with years subject to income tax audits will ultimately be resolved when events such as the completion of audits by the taxing jurisdictions occur. Tektronix believes that an appropriate liability has been established for estimated exposures; however, actual results may differ materially from these estimates. The liabilities are regularly reviewed for their adequacy and appropriateness.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
 
Goodwill and intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Tektronix performed its annual goodwill impairment analysis during the second quarter of 2007 and identified no impairment. SFAS No. 142 requires purchased intangible assets, other than goodwill, to be amortized over their estimated useful lives, unless an asset has an indefinite life. Purchased intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization expense is recognized over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets, mostly over three to five years.
 
For software-related intangible assets with finite useful lives, Tektronix amortizes the cost over the estimated economic life of the software product and assesses impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” At each balance sheet date, the unamortized cost of the software-related intangible asset is compared to its net realizable value. The net realizable value is the estimated future gross revenues from the software product reduced by the estimated future costs of completing and disposing of that product, including the costs of performing maintenance and customer support. The excess of the unamortized cost over the net realizable value would then be recognized as an impairment loss. Amortization expense for intangible assets that are software-related developed technology is recorded as Cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
Tektronix does not amortize intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. However, Tektronix reevaluates these intangible assets each reporting period. If Tektronix subsequently determines that a nonamortizable intangible asset has a finite useful life, the intangible asset will be written down to the lower of its fair value or carrying amount and then amortized over its remaining useful life on a prospective basis. Tektronix reviews nonamortizable intangible assets annually for impairment and more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the intangible asset may be impaired. The impairment test includes a comparison of the fair value of the nonamortizable intangible asset with its carrying value. An impairment loss would be recognized as a charge to continuing operations if the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the nonamortizable intangible asset. The balance of nonamortizable intangible assets of $11.2 million as of May 26, 2007 resulted primarily from the Inet acquisition during the second quarter of 2005. The nonamortizable intangible assets were recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date and no events or circumstances have arisen that would indicate that the nonamortizable intangible assets may be impaired. Tektronix performs its annual nonamortizable intangible asset impairment test when it completes its annual goodwill impairment test in the second quarter of each fiscal year.
 
Impairment of long-lived assets
 
Long-lived assets and intangibles with finite useful lives are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate costs may not be recoverable. Impairment exists when the carrying value of the asset is greater than the pre-tax undiscounted future cash flows expected to be provided by the asset. If impairment exists, the asset is written down to its fair value. Fair value is determined through quoted market values or through the calculation of the pre-tax present value of future cash flows expected to be provided by the asset.
 
Revenue recognition
 
Tektronix recognizes product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. Delivery is considered to have been met when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer. These criteria are met for the majority of Tektronix’ product sales at the time the product is shipped. Upon shipment, Tektronix also provides for estimated costs that may be incurred for product warranties and for sales returns. When other significant obligations or acceptance terms remain after products are delivered, revenue is recognized only after such obligations are fulfilled or acceptance by the customer has occurred.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Contracts for network management solution products often involve multiple deliverables. Tektronix determines the fair value of each of the contract deliverables using vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”). VSOE for each element of the contract is based on the price for which Tektronix sells the element on a stand-alone basis. In addition to hardware and software products, elements of the contracts include product support services such as the correction of software problems, hardware replacement, telephone access to Tektronix’ technical personnel and the right to receive unspecified product updates, upgrades and enhancements, when and if they become available. Revenues from these services, including post-contract support included in initial licensing fees, are recognized ratably over the service periods. Post-contract support included in the initial licensing fee is allocated from the total contract amount based on the fair value of these services determined using VSOE. If Tektronix determines that it does not have VSOE on an undelivered element of an arrangement, Tektronix will not recognize revenue until all elements of the arrangement that do not have VSOE are delivered. This occurrence could materially impact Tektronix’ financial results because of the significant dollar amount of many of its contracts and the significant portion of total revenues that a single contract may represent in any particular period.
 
Revenue earned from service is recognized ratably over the contractual service periods or as the services are performed. Shipping and handling costs are recorded as Cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amounts billed or collected in advance of the period in which the related product or service qualifies for revenue recognition are recorded as Deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
Advertising
 
Advertising production and placement costs are expensed when incurred. Advertising expenses were $13.8 million, $12.8 million and $11.7 million in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.
 
Environmental costs
 
Environmental costs are accrued and expensed when environmental assessments are made or remedial efforts are probable and when the related costs can be reasonably estimated. Environmental liability accruals are calculated as the best estimate of costs expected to be incurred or if this estimate can only be identified within a range and no specific amount within that range is determined more likely than any other amount within the range, the minimum of the range is accrued. Actual costs incurred may vary from these estimates due to the inherent uncertainties involved. Accrued environmental costs are recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
Foreign currency translation
 
Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries that operate in a local currency environment are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. Adjustments arising from the translation of assets and liabilities are accumulated as a separate component of Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in Shareholders’ equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
Derivatives
 
Tektronix utilizes derivative financial instruments, primarily forward foreign currency exchange contracts, to reduce the impact of foreign currency exchange rate risks where natural hedging strategies cannot be effectively employed. The notional or contract amounts of the hedging instruments do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties and, thus, are not a measure of Tektronix’ exposure due to the use of derivatives. Tektronix’ forward exchange contracts have generally ranged from one to three months in original maturity, and no forward exchange contract has had an original maturity greater than one year.

Tektronix, Inc.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Tektronix does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The purpose of Tektronix’ hedging activities is to reduce the risk that the eventual cash flows of the underlying assets, liabilities and firm commitments will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. In general, Tektronix’ derivative activities do not create foreign currency exchange rate risk because fluctuations in the value of the instruments used for hedging purposes are offset by fluctuations in the value of the underlying exposures being hedged. Counterparties to derivative financial instruments expose Tektronix to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance. However, Tektronix has entered into these instruments with creditworthy financial institutions and considers the risk of nonperformance to be remote.
 
All derivatives, including foreign currency exchange contracts are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that do not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes are recorded at fair value through earnings. If a derivative is a hedge for accounting purposes, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are either offset against the change in fair value of underlying assets or liabilities through earnings or recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income until the underlying hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a hedging derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. At May 26, 2007, Tektronix did not designate any derivative financial instruments as a hedge for accounting purposes.
 
3.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.” SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that ”...under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges...” SFAS No. 151 requires that those items be recognized as current period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal.” In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. Tektronix adopted SFAS No. 151 beginning with the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 without a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”). This pronouncement requires compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. Prior to May 28, 2006, Tektronix accounted for stock-based compensation according to Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25. On May 28, 2006, Tektronix adopted SFAS No. 123R. See Note 5 “Share-Based Compensation” for a description of the effects on Tektronix’ results of operations and financial position.
 
In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — a replacement of APB No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.” SFAS No. 154 supersedes APB No. 20, “Accounting Changes,” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless this would be impracticable. When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an accounting change on one or more individual prior periods presented, this statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable. This statement also requires that if an entity changes its method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, nonfinancial assets, the change must be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate. Tektronix adopted SFAS No. 154 beginning with the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 without a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Tektronix will be required to adopt this interpretation in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. Management is currently evaluating the requirements of FIN No. 48 and has not yet determined the impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108 regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. SAB No. 108 states that registrants should use both a balance sheet approach and an income statement approach when quantifying and evaluating the materiality of a misstatement. The interpretations in SAB No. 108 contain guidance on correcting errors under the dual approach as well as provide transition guidance for correcting errors. This interpretation does not change the requirements within SFAS No. 154 for the correction of an error on financial statements. Tektronix adopted SAB No. 108 in fiscal year 2007 without a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This pronouncement applies under other accounting standards that require or permit fair value measurements. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurement. Tektronix will be required to adopt SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. Management is currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS No. 157 and has not yet determined the impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R).” This pronouncement requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability on its statement of financial position using prospective application. SFAS No. 158 also requires an employer to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. In addition, this statement requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. Tektronix adopted this statement on May 26, 2007, the end of fiscal year 2007. See Note 26 “Benefit Plans” for further information.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” This standard permits an entity to measure many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Tektronix will be required to adopt SFAS No. 159 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. Management is currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS No. 159 and has not yet determined the impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
4.   Earnings Per Share
 
Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period, excluding non-vested shares. Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on these same weighted average shares outstanding plus the effect of potentially dilutive share-based awards as calculated using the treasury stock method. Share-based awards are excluded from the calculation to the extent their effect would be antidilutive.

Awards of options and nonvested shares representing an additional 8.1 million, 7.2 million, and 4.9 million shares of common stock were outstanding at May 26, 2007, May 27, 2006, and May 28, 2005, respectively, but were not included in the calculation of diluted net earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.
 
5.   Share-Based Compensation
 
On May 28, 2006, Tektronix adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective approach as described in the statement and has not restated prior year results. SFAS No. 123R requires that the fair value for share-based compensation be recognized as an expense over the service period that the awards are expected to vest. For awards granted prior to adoption of SFAS No. 123R, only the unvested portion, on the adoption date, will be recognized as expense over the remaining service period for those awards.
 
Prior to May 28, 2006, Tektronix accounted for stock options according to APB No. 25. Under APB No. 25, no compensation expense was recognized on Tektronix’ consolidated financial statements upon issuance of employee stock options because the exercise price of the options equaled the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Alternatively, under the fair value method of accounting provided for by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” the measurement of compensation cost was based on the fair value of employee stock options at the grant date, requiring the use of option pricing models to value the options.
 
The pro forma impact to both net earnings and earnings per share from calculating stock-based compensation cost consistent with the fair value alternative of SFAS No. 123 was as follows:

During the year ended May 26, 2007, Tektronix recognized compensation expense of $13.7 million for stock options, $7.6 million for restricted shares, and $1.4 million for the employee stock purchase plan. As of May 26, 2007, $1.2 million of share-based compensation has been capitalized in inventory.
 
Consistent with the fair value calculations used in prior years, Tektronix will continue to use the Black-Scholes valuation model to calculate the fair value for employee stock options. Expense for all share-based awards will be recognized on a straight-line basis, after adjustment for forfeitures in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. As of May 26, 2007, the total unrecognized compensation expense for outstanding awards was $58.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 2.70 years.
 
Valuation Assumptions
 
Tektronix uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to calculate the fair value for employee stock options. The Black-Scholes valuation model includes assumptions for expected life, risk-free interest rate, volatility, and dividend yields. Expected life is the weighted average length of time that options are outstanding before they are exercised. Historic exercise behavior, vesting periods, and the weighted average remaining contractual life of outstanding options are all considered in the calculation of expected life. The risk-free interest rates are equal to the U.S. Treasury yield curve rates, of the same expected life, at grant. Stock price volatility for Tektronix is based on historic volatility and is calculated using weekly stock prices for a time period similar to the expected life of the option being valued. The weighted average estimated fair values of options granted during 2007, 2006, and 2005 were $8.64, $9.30, and $9.48 per share, respectively.
 
The weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair values of options granted for years ended May 26, 2007, May 27, 2006, and May 28, 2005 were as follows:
 
                         
    2007     2006     2005  
 
Expected life in years
    4.2       5.1       5.1  
Risk-free interest rate
    4.75 %     4.18 %     3.68 %
Volatility
    30.85 %     31.55 %     32.76 %
Dividend yield
    0.83 %     0.85 %     0.82 %

Stock Plans
 
Tektronix maintains stock incentive plans for selected employees. As of May 26, 2007, there were 15.9 million shares reserved for all stock compensation, of which 11.0 million were reserved for issuance for outstanding options and restricted share units, 0.7 million for outstanding stock options converted in connection with the Inet acquisition, 0.9 million for the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and 3.3 million available for future grants. Under the terms of the stock incentive plans, stock options are granted at an option price not less than the market value at the date of grant. Options granted generally vest over four years and expire ten years from grant date. Restricted shares are valued at market value as of the date of grant and generally vest over four years. In 2007, Tektronix, as authorized under the current stock incentive plans, began granting restricted share units to select employees. Similar to restricted shares, restricted share units generally vest over four years and, upon vesting, are settled with shares of Tektronix common stock. Restricted share units are valued using the market value as of the grant date, reduced for dividends not paid prior to vesting. In accordance with Oregon corporate law, Tektronix is not able to retain treasury shares of common stock and, as a result, all stock plan awards are settled with newly issued shares.

(2) This plan was adopted by the Board of Directors for the sole purpose of making grants to new non-officer employees who join the Company as a result of acquisitions, and grants were limited to such non-officer employees. Options with a term of 10 years were granted at fair market value at the time of grant. The terms of the options are substantially the same as the options granted under plans approved by shareholders. The Board of Directors terminated this Plan in March 2005, therefore there will be no further grants.
 
(3) These totals do not include information relating to the Inet Stock Option Plan, which was approved by the shareholders of Inet Technologies, Inc. and assumed by Tektronix in a transaction approved by shareholders of Inet. No additional grants will be made under this plan. The applicable information for the Inet Stock Option Plan is as follows: (i) 678,154 securities are issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and 2,090 rights; (ii) the average exercise price of such outstanding options is $60.27; and (iii) no securities are available for future issuance.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
 
During 2001, Tektronix initiated the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) allowing substantially all regular employees to purchase shares of Tektronix common stock through payroll deductions of up to 10% of their eligible compensation during a six-month period. Plan periods are from January 15 to July 14 and July 15 to January 14. The price an employee pays for the shares is 85% of the fair market value of Tektronix stock on the last day of the period. Under SFAS No. 123R the ESPP is classified as a liability award.
 
During 2007 and 2006, employees purchased 336,194 and 364,035 shares, respectively, at a price of $23.85 and $20.98 per share, respectively. The total fair value for ESPP shares purchased was $1.4 million, $2.4 million, and $1.0 million in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.
 
6.   Acquisitions
 
Inet Acquisition
 
During the second quarter of 2005, Tektronix acquired Inet Technologies, Inc. (“Inet”), a leading global provider of communications software solutions that enable network operators to more strategically and profitably operate their businesses. Inet’s products address next-generation mobile and fixed networks, including mobile data and voice over packet (also referred to as voice over Internet protocol or VoIP) technologies, and traditional networks. Inet’s Unified Assurance Solutions enable network operators to simultaneously manage their voice and data services at the network, service, and customer layers by capturing, correlating, and analyzing network wide traffic in real time. Inet’s diagnostic products assist equipment manufacturers and network operators to quickly and cost effectively design, deploy, and maintain current and next-generation networks and network elements. Through this acquisition Tektronix significantly enhanced its position in the overall network management and diagnostic market and accelerated the delivery of products and solutions for network operators and equipment manufacturers

seeking to implement next-generation technologies such as General Packet Radio Service (“GPRS”), Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems (“UMTS”), and VoIP.
 
Tektronix acquired all of Inet’s outstanding common stock for $12.50 per share consisting of $6.25 per share in cash and $6.25 per share in Tektronix common stock. The cash consideration of $247.6 million, the value of Tektronix common stock of $247.5 million, and the fair values of stock options and restricted share rights assumed are included in the purchase price that was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price allocation is subject to further changes primarily related to resolution of tax contingencies associated with ongoing tax audits for pre-acquisition periods. The purchase price and resulting allocation to the underlying assets acquired, net of deferred income taxes, are presented below as of May 26, 2007.
 
The following table presents the total purchase price (in thousands):

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired resulted in goodwill of $220.2 million. Management believes that the primary factors contributing to a purchase price that resulted in this amount of goodwill were synergies between the acquired business and portions of the pre-existing Tektronix business, as well as barriers to entry previously established by Inet in this specialty product field. Synergies include the combined entities’ ability to provide a broader product and solution offering and the ability to share technology development across these products. Barriers to entry include the significant levels of infrastructure required in this product field and a history of success related to product installation, around the clock maintenance, and the know-how to understand complex customer telecommunication networks.

As noted in the table above, $122.0 million of purchase price was allocated to intangible assets including developed technologies, customer relationships, covenants not to compete, and tradenames. $87.0 million of intangible assets purchased related to developed technologies such as hardware platform technology and architecture as well as software architecture and applications. These developed technologies were embedded as the core functionality of the product offering purchased in the acquisition. Management determined that these developed technologies were separable from the purchased entity and that they could be sold, transferred, or licensed. Therefore, the associated value was recognized apart from goodwill as amortizable intangible assets. The associated useful lives of these amortizable intangible assets were determined by management through analysis of the estimated revenues and underlying cash flows expected from these intangible assets including an assessment of broad technological changes and the competitive marketplace.
 
Amortization expense in 2007, 2006, and 2005 for intangible assets purchased in the Inet acquisition has been recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as follows:

No. 2 to Business Combinations Accounted for by the Purchase Method.” This write-off was included in acquisition related costs and amortization on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of IPR&D was based on the net present value of estimated future cash flows. Significant assumptions used in the valuation of IPR&D included a risk adjusted discount rate of 10.2%, revenue and expense projections, development life cycle and future entry of products to the market. As of the acquisition date, there were eight research and development projects in process that were approximately 87% complete. The total estimated cost to complete these projects was approximately $0.8 million at the acquisition date. In the first quarter of 2006, Tektronix had completed these eight research and development projects.
 
The Consolidated Statements of Operations included the results of operations of Inet since September 30, 2004. The following (unaudited) pro forma consolidated results of operations have been prepared as if the acquisition of Inet had occurred at May 30, 2004, the beginning of Tektronix’ fiscal year 2005.

Minacom Acquisition
 
On November 27, 2006, Tektronix acquired Minacom, a leading provider of active probe test solutions used by telecommunications carriers, cable multi-system operators, wireless and voice over internet protocol providers worldwide. The purchase price was approximately $27.3 million plus assumed liabilities of $1.2 million. The transaction was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the results of operations of Minacom have been consolidated in Tektronix’ financial statements from the date of acquisition. Pro forma comparative results of operations are not presented, as they do not materially differ from Tektronix’ reported results of operations.

Sale of Color Printing and Imaging
 
On January 1, 2000, Tektronix sold substantially all of the assets of the Color Printing and Imaging Division (“CPID”). Tektronix accounted for CPID as a discontinued operation in accordance with APB No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations — Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions.” The sales price was $925.0 million in cash, with certain liabilities of the division assumed by the buyer. During 2000, Tektronix recorded a net gain of $340.3 million on this sale. The net gain was calculated as the excess of the proceeds received over the net book value of the assets transferred, $198.5 million in income tax expense, $60.0 million of contingencies related to the sale, and $14.4 million in transaction and related costs.
 
Prior to 2007 all but $5.0 million of the $60.0 million contingency related to the sale of the CPID in 2000 had been resolved, either through payment or recognition in net earnings. During 2007, Tektronix recognized a $5.0 million pre-tax gain in discontinued operations related to the sale. Recognition of this $5.0 million gain had previously been deferred as management did not believe that the conditions necessary to recognize this gain existed. During the current year, management determined that persuasive objective evidence supporting the recognition of the $5.0 million pre-tax gain existed, which included a lack of claims activity associated with certain exposures underlying the contingencies, and analysis of the enforceability of potential claims related to this contingency, given the passage of time since the closing of the sale.

8.   Business Realignment Costs

 
Business realignment costs represent actions to realign Tektronix’ cost structure in response to significant events and primarily include restructuring actions and impairment of assets resulting from reduced business levels or related to significant acquisitions or divestitures. Business realignment actions taken in recent years were intended to reduce Tektronix’ worldwide cost structure across all major functions. Major operations impacted include manufacturing, engineering, sales, marketing, and administrative functions. In addition to severance, Tektronix incurred other costs associated with restructuring its organization, which primarily represented facilities contracts and other exit costs associated with aligning the cost structure to appropriate levels. Restructuring actions can take significant time to execute, particularly if they are being conducted in countries outside the United States. Management believes that the restructuring actions implemented in recent years have resulted in the cost savings anticipated for those actions.
 
Total business realignment costs were $9.1 million in 2007. During the first quarter of 2007, Tektronix incurred business realignment costs of $2.6 million associated with the acquisition of Inet and actions taken to realize business synergies. Business realignment costs were negligible during the second and third quarters of the current year. However, during the second quarter of this year, Tektronix observed a weakening in the communications market, primarily driven by consolidations of network equipment manufacturers as well as some slowing of capital expenditures by network operators. In the fourth quarter of 2007, Tektronix began to take actions in response to the change in market conditions in order to appropriately align its cost structure to achieve business model goals. Business realignment costs incurred in the fourth quarter of 2007 were $6.3 million. The total business realignment costs of $9.1 million during 2007 included severance and related costs of $9.0 million for 76 employees and $0.1 million for contractual obligations. At May 26, 2007, liabilities remained for the severance and related benefits of 84 employees.
 
At the end of 2005 and into the first quarter of 2006, Tektronix experienced softening in orders primarily in general purpose product categories. In response, Tektronix took actions to reduce its cost structure. During this time period, Tektronix also took actions to realize business synergies as a result of the acquisition of Inet. Business realignment costs of $9.8 million during 2006 included severance and related costs of $11.1 million for 120 employees, $0.3 million for contractual obligations, and a net $1.6 million credit for currency gains primarily related to the closure of three subsidiaries in Europe. At May 27, 2006, liabilities remained for the severance and related benefits of 41 employees.
 
Business realignment costs of $3.1 million during 2005 were primarily for severance and related costs for activity in Europe that had been initiated in previous years. For 2005, business realignment costs included severance and related costs of $2.2 million for 37 employees, $0.9 million for contractual obligations, and $0.2 million for accelerated depreciation of assets, offset by a $0.2 million credit from net accumulated currency translation gains. At May 28, 2005, liabilities of $1.3 million remained for the severance and related benefits of 15 employees for actions taken in 2005, 2004, and 2003. The remaining $1.0 million liability was for continuing payments on contractual obligations, some of which span several years.

Tektronix reviews investments in debt and equity securities for other than temporary impairment whenever the fair value of an investment is less than amortized cost and evidence indicates that an investment’s carrying amount is not recoverable within a reasonable period of time. In the evaluation of whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, Tektronix considers the reasons for the impairment, its ability and intent to hold the investment until the market price recovers or the investment matures, compliance with its investment policy, the severity and duration of the impairment, and expected future performance. As Tektronix primarily invests in high quality debt securities, unrealized losses are largely driven by increased market interest rates. These unrealized losses were not significant on an individual investment security basis. Based on this evaluation, no impairment was considered to be other-than-temporary.

10.   Concentrations of Risk
 
Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject Tektronix to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable and marketable investments. The risk is limited due to the large number of entities comprising Tektronix’ customer base and investments, and their dispersion across many different industries and geographies.
 
Supplier Risk
 
Tektronix currently buys a significant portion of its circuit boards from two suppliers and a significant portion of its Application Specific Integrated Chips (“ASICs”) from two suppliers. Both circuit boards and ASICs are important components of Tektronix’ products and are built to its specifications. Management believes that other suppliers could build these circuit boards on comparable terms, however there are a limited number of suppliers that


68

Tektronix, Inc.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

could build ASICs to Tektronix’ specifications. A change in suppliers for circuit boards or ASICs could cause a delay in manufacturing and a possible loss of sales, which would adversely affect operating results.

14.   Goodwill, Net
 
Goodwill and intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”, and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Accordingly, Tektronix does not amortize goodwill from acquisitions, but continues to amortize other acquisition related intangibles.
 
Tektronix performed its annual goodwill impairment analysis during the second quarter of 2007 and identified no impairment. The impairment review is based on a discounted cash flow approach that uses estimates of future

market share and revenues and costs for the reporting units as well as appropriate discount rates. The estimates used are consistent with the plans and estimates that Tektronix uses to manage the underlying businesses. However, if Tektronix fails to deliver new products for these groups, if the products fail to gain expected market acceptance, or if market conditions in the related businesses are unfavorable, revenue and cost forecasts may not be achieved, and Tektronix may incur charges for impairment of goodwill.

Commitments
 
Tektronix leases a portion of its capital equipment and certain of its facilities under operating leases that expire at various dates. Rental expense was $23.4 million, $22.9 million, and $20.8 million in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. In addition, Tektronix is a party to long-term or minimum purchase agreements with various suppliers and vendors. The future minimum obligations under operating leases and purchase commitments as of May 26, 2007 were:

Contingencies
 
As of May 26, 2007, Tektronix had $8.1 million of contingencies recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which consisted of $6.6 million for environmental exposures and $1.5 million for other contingent liabilities. It is reasonably possible that management’s estimates of contingencies could change in the near term and that such changes could be material to the consolidated financial statements.
 
Sale of Color Printing and Imaging
 
As of May 27, 2006 the balance of the contingencies related to the CPID disposition in 2000 was $5.0 million. During 2007, Tektronix recognized a $5.0 million pre-tax gain, in discontinued operations related to the sale. Recognition of this $5.0 million gain had previously been deferred as management did not believe that the conditions necessary to recognize this gain existed. During the current year, management determined that persuasive objective evidence supporting the recognition of the $5.0 million pre-tax gain existed, which included a lack of claims activity associated with certain exposures underlying the contingencies, and analysis of the enforceability of potential claims related to this contingency, given the passage of time since the closing of the sale. See Note 7 “Discontinued Operations” for additional information related to the sale of CPID.
 
Environmental and Other
 
The $6.6 million for environmental exposures was specifically associated with the closure and cleanup of a licensed hazardous waste management facility at Tektronix’ Beaverton, Oregon campus. Tektronix established the initial liability in 1998 and bases ongoing estimates on currently available facts and presently enacted laws and regulations. Costs for tank removal and cleanup were incurred in 2001. Costs currently being incurred primarily relate to ongoing monitoring and testing of the site.
 
Tektronix completed and filed a feasibility study with the Department of Environmental Quality (“DEQ”) during fiscal year 2007. Based on the recommendations in the feasibility study, management’s best estimate of the cost for remediation of the environmental exposure was $6.8 million. The $6.8 million is an increase of $4.8 million over the 2006 estimate of $2.0 million which was the low end of a range of $2.0 million to $10.0 million. Of the


72

Table of Contents

 
Tektronix, Inc.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

$6.8 million, a reserve of $6.6 million remained at the end of 2007. These costs are expected to be incurred over the next several years. Tektronix is currently in the process of revising its feasibility study to address comments from the DEQ. Tektronix expects completion of the revised feasibility study during fiscal year 2008, the result of which could change management’s estimate of the liability. If events or circumstances arise that are unforeseen to Tektronix as of the balance sheet date, actual costs could differ materially from the recorded liability.
 
The remaining $1.5 million included amounts primarily related to intellectual property, employment issues, and regulatory matters. If events or circumstances arise that are unforeseen to Tektronix as of the balance sheet date, actual costs could differ materially from this estimate.
 
The U.S. Office of Export Enforcement and the Department of Justice are conducting investigations into Tektronix’ compliance with export regulations with respect to certain sales made in Asia. Tektronix is fully cooperating with the investigations. The government could pursue a variety of sanctions against Tektronix, including monetary penalties and restrictions on its exportation of certain products. Based on the status of the investigations as of the date of this report, Tektronix does not anticipate that the results of the investigations will have a material adverse effect on Tektronix’ business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
 
In the normal course of business, Tektronix and its subsidiaries are parties to various legal claims, actions and complaints, including matters involving patent infringement and other intellectual property claims and various other risks. It is not possible to predict with certainty whether or not Tektronix will ultimately be successful in any of these legal matters or, if not, what the impact might be. However, Tektronix’ management does not expect the results of these legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
 
19.   Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
For cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and accrued compensation, the carrying amount approximates the fair value because of the immediate or short-term nature of those instruments. Marketable investments are recorded at their fair value based on quoted market prices.
 
20.   Shareholders’ Equity
 
Repurchase of Common Stock
 
Repurchases of Tektronix common stock were made under authorizations totaling $1.25 billion approved by the Board of Directors. The authority to purchase common stock on the open market or through negotiated transactions included authorizations of $550.0 million in 2000, $400.0 million in 2005, and $300.0 million in 2007. The share repurchase authorizations have no stated expiration date.
 
During 2007, 2006, and 2005, Tektronix repurchased a total of 6.7 million, 4.8 million, and 7.8 million shares, respectively, at an average price per share of $28.61, $25.02, and $26.63, respectively, for $191.1 million, $120.8 million, and $208.4 million, respectively. As of May 26, 2007, Tektronix has repurchased a total of 36.5 million shares at an average price of $24.93 per share totaling $909.1 million under these authorizations. The reacquired shares were immediately retired, in accordance with Oregon corporate law. As of May 26, 2007 $340.9 million remained open under these authorizations.
 
Subsequent to the end of 2007, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $350.0 million for share repurchases, bringing the total authorization to $1.6 billion.
 
In addition, in June 2007, Tektronix issued $345.0 million principal amount of convertible notes due on July 15, 2012. The primary use of the proceeds will be for additional repurchases under the share repurchase program and for other corporate purposes. Concurrent with this debt placement, Tektronix repurchased 3.2 million shares of common stock, at an average price per share of $34.57, for $110.0 million.

Shareholder Rights Agreement
 
On June 21, 2000, the Board of Directors adopted a new shareholder rights agreement to replace the 1990 agreement that expired by its terms in September 2000. To implement the new plan, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of one right for each outstanding common share payable to shareholders of record on September 7, 2000. As a result of Tektronix’ two-for-one stock split in October 2000, each outstanding share of common stock and each share issued thereafter, including under the plans, includes one-half of a right. Each right entitles the holder to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of Series B preferred shares at a purchase price of $375, subject to adjustment. The rights become exercisable ten days after a person or group acquires, or commences a tender offer that would result in, beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding common shares of Tektronix. Upon the occurrence of certain events described in the rights agreement, each right entitles its holder to purchase common shares of Tektronix, or in certain circumstances common shares of the acquiring company, or other property having a value of twice the right’s exercise price. However, rights that are beneficially owned by an acquiring person become null and void. The rights may be redeemed at a price of $0.001 per right at any time before a person becomes an acquiring person, and any time after a person becomes an acquiring person, Tektronix may exchange each right at a ratio of one common share, or one one-thousandth of a preferred share, per right. The rights expire on September 7, 2010.

21.   Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
 
Tektronix’ activities expose it to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The financial exposures are monitored and managed by Tektronix as an integral part of its overall risk management program. Tektronix’ risk management program seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of the markets may have on its operating results. Tektronix maintains a foreign currency risk management strategy that uses derivative instruments to protect its interests from unanticipated fluctuations in earnings and cash flows caused by volatility in currency exchange rates. By using derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in exchange rates, Tektronix exposes itself to counterparty credit risk. Tektronix manages exposure to counterparty credit risk by entering into derivative financial instruments with highly rated institutions that can be expected to fully perform under the terms of the agreement.
 
Tektronix accounts for derivative financial instruments under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in the derivative’s fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative’s gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the consolidated statement of operations to the extent effective and


74

Table of Contents

 
Tektronix, Inc.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

requires that Tektronix formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting.
 
Tektronix utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to partially or fully offset the risk associated with the effects of certain non-functional currency assets and liabilities. As a result, increases or decreases to these balances due to foreign exchange rate changes are offset by gains and losses on the forward contracts. Tektronix does not use forward contracts for trading purposes. All foreign currency balances and all outstanding forward contracts are marked-to-market at the end of the period with unrealized gains and losses included in Tektronix’ consolidated statements of operations.
 
Net foreign exchange transaction gains and losses were not material for 2007, 2006, and 2005. Tektronix held forward contracts with notional amounts totaling $35.5 million and $37.9 million at May 26, 2007 and May 27, 2006, respectively.
 
22.   Business Segments
 
Tektronix derives revenue principally by developing, manufacturing, and selling a broad range of test, measurement and monitoring products in two primary segments that have similar economic characteristics as well as similar customers, production processes, and distribution methods. Accordingly, Tektronix reports as a single segment.

Items that increase provisions include state income taxes and various nondeductible expenses, whereas items that decrease the provisions include the extraterritorial income exclusion, various tax credits, tax exempt interest income, reductions in valuation allowances and reversals of prior fiscal years’ provisions.
 
During 2005, $11.3 million was not recognized as a tax benefit since this resulted from the write-off of IPR&D from the Inet acquisition. Income tax expense for 2005 included $8.1 million of other provisions largely for taxes on unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries and tax contingencies related to research and development tax credits, net operating loss carryforwards and other non-deductible items, partially offset by a favorable adjustment from the prior fiscal year income tax return. In addition, income tax expense for 2005 also included a benefit of $16.7 million associated with the reduction of the valuation allowance maintained on certain deferred tax assets. The reduction was primarily the result of the utilization of foreign tax credit carryovers during the year.

valuation allowance in place against certain international tax credits, state tax credits, and international net operating losses.
 
Tektronix maintains reserves for estimated tax exposures in jurisdictions of operation. These tax jurisdictions include federal, state and various international tax jurisdictions. Significant income tax exposures include potential challenges of research and experimentation credits, export-related tax benefits, disposition transactions and intercompany pricing. Exposures are settled primarily through the settlement of audits within these tax jurisdictions, but can also be affected by changes in applicable tax law or other factors, which could cause Tektronix’ management to believe a revision of past estimates is appropriate.
 
In April 2005, Tektronix reached a preliminary agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) with respect to its examination of Tektronix’ fiscal years 2001, 2002, and 2003. At that time, Tektronix made a payment of $12.7 million with respect to this audit. In August 2005, Tektronix was notified that the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation had completed its review and had accepted the conclusions contained in the IRS Audit Report associated with the examination of those years. The settlement of this audit resulted in a net decrease of approximately $2.0 million of related reserves in the first quarter of 2006.
 
During 2007, the estimate of prior years’ exposures was reduced by $5.9 million to reflect the results of tax audits that concluded during the fiscal year, including the IRS examination of Tektronix’ fiscal years 2004 and 2005.
 
Management believes that an appropriate liability has been established for estimated exposures; however, actual results may differ materially from these estimates.
 
26.   Benefit Plans
 
Tektronix sponsors one IRS-qualified defined benefit plan, the Tektronix Cash Balance pension plan, and one non-qualified defined benefit plan, the Retirement Equalization Plan, for eligible employees in the United States. Employees hired after July 31, 2004 do not participate in the U.S. Cash Balance pension plan. Tektronix also sponsors defined benefit pension plans in Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Taiwan. During 2007, Tektronix settled the Netherlands pension plan resulting in a $1.5 million settlement gain. Tektronix also provides postretirement life insurance benefits to all current employees and provides certain retired and active employees with postretirement health care benefits. The pension plans have a fiscal year end measurement date.
 
Adoption of SFAS No. 158
 
SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R),” requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability on its statement of financial position using prospective application. SFAS No. 158 also requires an employer to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income.
 
Tektronix adopted SFAS No. 158 in fiscal year 2007. Upon adoption, Tektronix recorded an after-tax adjustment of $127.2 million to the ending balance of accumulated other comprehensive loss for pension and postretirement benefit plans. The accumulated other comprehensive loss, before tax, consisted of $216.5 million of unrecognized actuarial loss, $5.6 million of unrecognized prior service benefit, and $0.4 million of unrecognized transition obligation for pension and postretirement benefit plans.

Investment Policy and Asset Allocation
 
The investment policy for the U.S. Cash Balance pension plan currently provides for target asset allocations of 74.5% for equity investments and 25.5% for fixed income investments. Allocations may vary by 5% before reallocation of assets becomes necessary. Tektronix’ investment strategy is to maximize shareholder value within the context of providing benefit security for plan participants.
 
The plan assets of the U.S. Cash Balance pension plan included investments in real estate, absolute return funds, and private equity valued at $119.9 million, whose fair values have been estimated by management based on information supplied to Tektronix by the fund managers or the general partners, in the absence of readily determinable market values that are available on publicly traded securities. The value of plan assets directly affects the funded status of the U.S. Cash Balance pension plan recorded in the financial statements.
 
The plan asset allocations at May 26, 2007 and May 27, 2006 for the U.S. Cash Balance pension plan, which comprises the majority of Tektronix’ pension plan assets, by asset category were as follows:
 
                 
    2007     2006  
 
Equity investments

Weighted Average Assumptions Used
 
Weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at May 26, 2007 and May 27, 2006 were as follows:
 
                                 
    Pension Benefits     Postretirement Benefits  
    2007     2006     2007     2006

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Weighted average assumptions used to determine net pension and postretirement benefit expense for 2007, 2006, and 2005 were as follows:
 
                                                 
    Pension Benefits     Postretirement Benefits  
    2007     2006     2005     2007     2006     2005  
 
Discount rate
    5.9%       5.3%       6.1%       6.3%       5.5%       6.3%  
Rate of compensation increase
    3.4%       3.5%       3.6%       3.6%       3.6%       3.6%  
Expected long-term return on plan assets
    8.5%       8.3%       8.4%       N/A       N/A       N/A  
 
 
N/A — not applicable
 
Assumed discount rates are used in measurements of the projected, accumulated and vested benefit obligations and the service and interest cost components of net periodic pension cost. Management makes estimates of discount rates to reflect the rates at which the pension benefits could be effectively settled. In making those estimates, management evaluates rates of return on high-quality fixed-income investments currently available and expected to be available during the period to maturity of the pension benefits.
 
The expected long-term return on plan assets assumption is based on a comprehensive analysis conducted by Tektronix’ treasury department with detailed input from external actuarial and asset management consultants. The analysis includes a review of the asset allocation strategy, projected future long-term performance of individual asset classes, risks (standard deviations) and correlations for each of the asset classes that comprise the plans’ asset mix. While the analysis gives appropriate consideration to recent asset performance and actual returns in the past, the assumption is primarily an estimated long-term, prospective rate.
 
Tektronix maintains an insured indemnity health plan for retirees. The assumed health care cost trend rate used to measure the expected cost of benefits under the indemnity and HMO plans for participants under the age of 65 was assumed to increase by 9.0% in 2007. For participants over the age of 65, the assumed health care cost trend rate used to measure the expected cost of benefits under the indemnity and HMO plans was assumed to increase by 9.5% in 2007. Thereafter, the rates of both plans were assumed to gradually decrease until they reach 5.3% for participants under the age of 65 and 5.5% for those over 65 in 2012. A 1% change in these assumptions would not have a material effect on either the postretirement benefit obligation at May 26, 2007 or the benefit expense reported for 2007.
 
Employee savings plan
 
Tektronix has an employee savings plan that qualifies as a deferred salary arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participating U.S. employees may defer up to 50% of their eligible pay, subject to certain regulatory limitations. Employee contributions are invested, at the employee’s direction, among a variety of investment alternatives. Tektronix makes a basic contribution of 2% of eligible pay for all participants plus a matching contribution of 100% of the first 4% of elective contributions. Tektronix’ total contributions were approximately $12.7 million in 2007, $11.9 million in 2006, and $10.6 million in 2005.

28.   Subsequent Events
 
Subsequent to the end of 2007, Tektronix issued $345.0 million principal amount of senior convertible notes due on July 15, 2012. See Note 29 “Convertible Notes” below for details.
 
29.   Convertible Notes
 
In June 2007, Tektronix issued $345.0 million principal amount of senior convertible notes due on July 15, 2012 (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes were issued at par and accrue interest at a rate of 1.625% per annum. Interest will be paid semi-annually in arrears in cash on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning January 15, 2008.
 
The initial conversion rate for the Convertible Notes is 25.1538 shares of Tektronix common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $39.76 per share. These conversion rates will be adjusted if Tektronix makes specified types of distributions or enters into certain other transactions with respect to its common stock. The Convertible Notes may only be converted: 1) during any calendar quarter if the closing price of Tektronix common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price per share during a defined period at the end of the previous calendar quarter, 2) if the trading price of the Convertible Notes falls below a certain threshold over a defined period, 3) if specified corporate transactions, including a change in control, occur or 4) one month prior to the respective maturity date.
 
Upon conversion, a holder would receive the conversion value equal to the conversion rate multiplied by the volume weighted average price of Tektronix common stock during a specified period relating to the conversion date. The conversion value will be paid in: 1) cash equal to the lesser of the principal amount of the note or the conversion value, as defined, and 2) to the extent the conversion value exceeds the principal amount of the note, shares of Tektronix common stock, cash or a combination of common stock and cash, at Tektronix’ option (the “excess conversion value”). In addition, upon a change in control, as defined, the holders may require Tektronix to purchase for cash all or a portion of their notes for 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

In connection with issuance of the Convertible Notes, $110.0 million of Tektronix common stock was repurchased under the Tektronix’ stock repurchase program.
 
Tektronix evaluated the embedded conversion option in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and concluded that the embedded conversion option contained within the Convertible Notes should not be accounted for separately because the conversion option is indexed to Tektronix common stock and is classified as stockholders’ equity.
 
Concurrent with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, Tektronix purchased convertible note hedges. The convertible note hedges allow Tektronix to receive shares of Tektronix common stock and/or cash from the counterparties to the transactions equal to the amounts of common stock and/or cash related to the excess conversion value that Tektronix would issue and/or pay to the holders of the Convertible Notes upon conversion. The aggregate cost of these hedge transactions was $74.5 million.
 
In separate transactions, Tektronix also sold warrants for the purchase of up to 8.7 million shares of Tektronix common stock at a price of $49.26 per share. The warrants are exercisable over a 100-business day period commencing on October 15, 2012. Tektronix received $44.0 million in cash proceeds from the sale of these warrants.
 
Because Tektronix has the choice of settling the convertible note hedges and warrants in cash or shares of its stock, and these contracts meet all of the applicable criteria for equity classification as outlined in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock,” the cost of the convertible note hedges and net proceeds from the sale of the warrants are classified in stockholders’ equity. In addition, because both of these contracts are classified in stockholders’ equity and are indexed to Tektronix common stock, they are not accounted for as derivatives under SFAS No. 133.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of May 26, 2007 based on the guidelines established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
 
Based on the results of our evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of May 26, 2007. We reviewed the results of management’s assessment with our Audit Committee.
 
Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of May 26, 2007 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report. The report of Deloitte & Touche LLP is included below.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Tektronix, Inc.
Beaverton, Oregon
 
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that Tektronix, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of May 26, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
In our opinion, management’s assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of May 26, 2007, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of May 26, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
 
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule as of and for the fiscal year ended May 26, 2007 of the Company and our report dated July 23, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial statement schedule and includes explanatory paragraphs related to the Company’s adoption of new accounting standards and the valuation of investments with no readily determinable market values.

EX-14.2 2 v31514exv14w2.txt EXHIBIT 14.2 Exhibit 14.2 (TEKTRONIX(R) LOGO) Enabling Innovation (LOGO 1) (LOGO 2) BUSINESS PRACTICES GUIDELINES Page 1 of 25 A MESSAGE FROM RICK WILLS For more than 60 years, Tektronix' success has been linked to the ability of our employees to "do the right thing" for our employees, customers and shareholders and their ability to make business decisions that support our company values. We pride ourselves on the fact that while short-term priorities may shift, our values remain constant, reinforcing a long-standing culture committed to the highest standards of ethical and compliant business practices. It takes the efforts of each of you to ensure we continue to uphold the company's strong reputation as a trusted business partner. Often the business choices in front of us are complex and figuring out the right thing to do can be difficult and unclear. Tektronix' Business Ethics and Compliance Program will provide you with the training, resources and tools to help you make the best business decisions possible. Our success starts with your dedication to making ethical decisions. While this program helps Tektronix meet its legal and ethical commitments, it also supports our core value system and underlies all that we do as a company and all that we do as individuals working together. Your relationships with customers, shareholders, employees, and suppliers starts with your own integrity. Your integrity. Our success. It's a simple concept yet one that is critical to our success and one that will continue to ensure Tektronix' leadership position as a preferred global supplier and employer. I challenge you to make the most of this program and apply your efforts and commitment to achieve the highest levels of integrity with each business decision that you make. ---------------------------------------- Rick Wills Tektronix Chairman, CEO and President Page 2 of 25 ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The Tektronix Business Practices Guidelines (Business Practices Guidelines or Guidelines) apply worldwide, to all of our employees, directors, officers, contract labor, consultants, and others acting for Tektronix ("Representatives"). The ethical and legal principles contained in the Guidelines represent the very core of how Tektronix expects its Representatives to conduct business on its behalf. The Guidelines continue Tektronix' long-standing expectation that all Tektronix Representatives conduct business on behalf of Tektronix morally, ethically and in conformance with all applicable laws in all places and at all times. No Representative may use outside agents or other indirect means to violate or circumvent applicable laws and regulations or the business practices outlined in these Guidelines. ALL TEKTRONIX REPRESENTATIVES - Be aware of the Business Practices Guidelines and always follow them. - Be sensitive to situations that could lead you or others to engage in illegal, improper, or unethical actions, and avoid such situations. - Never act in violation of any law and never believe that breaking the law in an attempt to help Tektronix is an indication of loyalty. - Take action against illegal, improper, or unethical behavior. If necessary, report violations to your managers, the Chief Compliance Officer, or EthicsPoint (Tektronix' employee access line and website). ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF TEKTRONIX MANAGERS - Make a personal commitment to operate in accordance with the uncompromising values set forth in the Tektronix Business Practices Guidelines. Communicate this commitment to all Tektronix Representatives under your management control. - Be familiar with the company-wide business practices and other standards of conduct and policies required of all Representatives. Know the resources and processes available to assist in the resolution of questions and concerns about Tektronix' business practices. - Periodically discuss ethics and business conduct issues and review the Guidelines with Representatives under your management control. Ensure that all Representatives under your management control are aware of the Guidelines, policies and legal requirements relevant to their work. - Maintain a work environment that encourages open communication regarding ethics and business conduct issues and concerns. Page 3 of 25 GUIDELINES OVERVIEW & INDEX Tektronix' ability to live up to its commitments and ethical standards is directly dependent on the day-to-day choices and actions of each individual acting on behalf of Tektronix. Set forth below is our standard of ethical conduct expected from everyone who does business in Tektronix' name. In addition to the Guidelines, each Representative is expected to become familiar and comply with all policies relating to their specific jobs within the Company. We have provided links to additional information where appropriate in the Guidelines. Please contact your manager or the Ethics & Compliance Office at chief-compliance-office@tek.com if you need additional clarification of the Guidelines or information regarding specific policies. Many decisions about ethical and compliant conduct fall into a gray area. If you have any questions about how to apply the Guidelines or related policies, you should discuss the situation with your manager or contact the references provided in those policies or the Guidelines. But first, when faced with a difficult ethical issue try asking yourself the following questions: (GRAPHIC) - Is it legal? - Does it follow our Business Practices and other policies? - How will the decision affect (or hurt) others (consumers, shareholders, suppliers, partners, competitors, the community, other employees)? - How will the decision look to others? - Would the decision be considered fair by those affected? - Have all implications of the decision been fully explored? - Would additional advice be helpful? - How would I feel if the decision were made public? If you would not be comfortable justifying your decision publicly, it is probably not the right thing to do.

Page 5 of 25 ACCOUNTING CONTROLS & ILLEGAL ACTS INTERNAL CONTROLS Tektronix has established systems, controls and records for authorizing, executing and recording transactions involving assets and liabilities. No Tektronix Representative will engage in any activity that circumvents Tektronix' system of internal controls. Administrative and accounting controls will be in place to assure that financial and other reports are accurately and reliably prepared, and fully and fairly disclose pertinent information. ACCOUNTING ACCURACY Accuracy and reliability of Tektronix' business records is not only mandated by law, but are critical to the company's decision-making process and to the proper discharge of our financial, legal and reporting obligations. All business records, accounts and reports to government agencies and others must be prepared with care and honesty. Representatives must provide constituents with information that is fair, accurate, complete, objective, relevant, timely and understandable with the understanding that such information may be used in documents that Tektronix files with or submits to the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental agencies. AUTHORIZATION All Tektronix payments and other transactions must be properly authorized by management and accurately and completely recorded on Tektronix' records in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and established corporate accounting policies. Tektronix Representatives may not make any false, incomplete, or misleading entries. No undisclosed or unrecorded corporate funds, assets or liabilities may be established for any purpose, nor should Tektronix funds be placed in any personal or non-corporate account. All corporate assets must be properly protected and asset records regularly compared with actual assets with proper action taken to reconcile any variances. No Representative will authorize payment knowing that any part of the payment will be used for any purpose other than what is described in documents supporting the payment. Tektronix' detailed Accounting Policies & Procedures are located at: http://fp-finance.tek.com/finance/forms/corprefer/acctgpol.html. AUDITORS Tektronix Representatives are expected to cooperate fully with our internal and external auditors. No person will fraudulently influence, coerce, manipulate or mislead the independent auditors retained by Tektronix to audit or review its books, records or financial statements. For example, if an auditor asks you a question at a time when you are very busy and you are 80% sure of the answer, but to be completely sure will take some additional research, you should not "guess" at the answer. Instead, to cooperate fully, you should tell them that you are only 80% sure of the answer and perform the additional research if required. In other words, you should give thorough and complete answers to all questions. Page 6 of 25 RECORD RETENTION Tektronix' records of its transactions are important corporate assets. All company records must be retained in accordance with Tektronix' Record Retention Guidelines. Each business function and entity is responsible for establishing record keeping processes in accordance with those guidelines. For more detailed information about Tektronix' Record Retention Guidelines, please visit: http://fp-bldgmgmt.tek.com/bldgmgmt/archivingattektronix/ RecordRetention.htm EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT & TRAVEL Tektronix' policies provide that employees will be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred when traveling on business or performing other company business. Each Tektronix employee is responsible for ensuring that selections for air carriers, vehicle rentals, accommodations, expenditures for meals, etc. are made with the goal of traveling economically and otherwise in accordance with established travel policies. Expenses incurred by employees in performing company business will be reimbursed through the filing of expense reports, which must be documented accurately and completely. Tektronix' Global Travel Policy can be found at: http://fp-travel.tek.com/travel/doc/GTP.pdf. Additional travel guidelines and other recommendations for prudent spending can be found at: http://fp-travel.tek.com/travel/Global_Travel.htm. PRESERVING TEKTRONIX' ASSETS Each Tektronix Representative is responsible for preserving Tektronix' assets including physical assets such as facilities, data and equipment and intangible assets such as patents, copyrights and trade secrets. This requires that all company-owned equipment be properly safeguarded and accounted for and that all supplier or customer-owned equipment be treated with the same high standards. No Representative may make improper use of Tektronix or customer resources or permit others to do so. Use of Tektronix property, facilities, equipment or information for non-Tektronix purposes is permitted only with the approval of managers having authority to permit such usage, after ensuring that the use is in compliance with other company policies. Tektronix' Loss of Equipment and Information Policy can be found at: http://tekwiki.tek.com/display/infosec/Home ILLEGAL OR IMPROPER ACTS INCLUDING FRAUD & SIMILAR IRREGULARITIES Tektronix Representatives are prohibited from engaging in illegal or improper acts. Engaging in such acts will serve as justification for termination of employment for cause. Such acts include but are not limited to: - Conviction or plea of "guilty" or "no contest" to any crime constituting a felony in the jurisdiction in which committed, any crime involving moral turpitude (whether or not a felony), or any violation of criminal law involving dishonesty or willful misconduct (whether or not a felony) - Repeated failure or refusal to perform your duties in an acceptable manner, or to follow the lawful and proper directives of the Board of Directors or your supervisor(s) or manager(s) - Breach of your obligations or any action you take which results in Tektronix' breach of its obligation under any confidentiality agreements or provisions, or proprietary information agreements - Failure to disclose side agreements or "understandings" with a customer, supplier or partner that are outside the terms of the contract Page 7 of 25 - Knowingly providing, or failing to report, false or materially misleading information with respect to Tektronix' financial statements or other public disclosures - Other misconduct that has or could discredit or damage Tektronix. Tektronix prohibits fraudulent activities. You should be cognizant of the existence of fraud and should follow procedures concerning the recognition, reporting and investigation of suspected fraud. Fraud includes, but is not limited to: - Dishonest or fraudulent acts - Embezzlement - Forgery or alteration of negotiable instruments such as company checks and drafts - Misappropriation of company, employee, customer, partner or supplier assets - Conversion to personal use of cash, securities, supplies or any other company asset - Unauthorized handling or reporting of company transactions - Falsification of company records or financial statements for personal or other reasons - Consistent violations of any company policy such as travel and entertainment - Fraudulent submission of timesheets or expense reports - Acceptance of offers of kickbacks from contractors, customers, partners or suppliers. Managers are responsible for knowing fraud exposures for their areas and for detecting suspected wrongdoing. Each manager best knows standard operating procedures in their area, and therefore, is most capable of identifying a transaction that is out of the ordinary. Managers should not, under any circumstances, attempt to cover up wrongdoing. Managers should not conduct investigations, nor should they confront the suspected individual or directly question strange, odd or curious transactions. If a Representative reports wrongdoing by another Representative, partner, supplier or customer, the Manager should direct them to immediately report the incident as described at reporting and investigation. Page 8 of 25 BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS CUSTOMERS Every product or service Tektronix offers must be offered as our best solution to meet our customers' needs and conform to Tektronix' published specifications or with the specifications agreed upon with the customer. Customers of Tektronix will be provided accurate, timely information regarding prices, capabilities, and delivery schedules. Underestimating design cycles or exaggerating benefits to obtain business is unacceptable. If unforeseen problems arise that will adversely affect a customer, the customer should be informed and an attempt made to minimize the impact or provide appropriate relief. In short, Tektronix is committed to ensuring that its customers obtain full value and are dealt with fairly and honestly. SELLING TO THE GOVERNMENT (GRAPHIC) Tektronix carefully follows the laws and regulations that govern acquisition of its goods and services by the U.S. or any foreign government. On U.S. government cost-based contracts, properly reporting and charging all costs to the appropriate account, regardless of status of the budget or account, is essential. Every Representative is responsible for ensuring that time is reported promptly and accurately with respect to such contracts. Tektronix has specific guidelines regarding dealings with the government and furnishes guidelines to Representatives involved in this part of Tektronix' business. For more information, please visit: http://fp-law.tek.com/law/selling_to_usgov.html ADVERTISING Tektronix advertising must always be truthful. If specific claims are made about Tektronix products or their performance, there must be evidence to substantiate those claims. Tektronix products are to be marketed on the basis of our price, quality and service. Tektronix products should not be labeled or marketed in any way that might cause confusion between our products and those of our competitors. Tektronix' Representatives should not disparage the products, services, or the representatives of any of our competitors. If comparisons of Tektronix products against those of any of our competitors are used, such comparisons must be fair and accurate, and must be supported by objective, verifiable information. In addition, direct comparisons to competitor products may be subject to governmental regulation, particularly when the comparative advertising is directed to audiences outside of the U.S. You should review any comparative advertising with the Law Department and the appropriate Marketing Communications personnel. Similarly, misrepresentations made by others regarding Tektronix products should be brought to the attention of management. Use of Tektronix' trademarks and trade names shall be in accordance with the company's policies governing such use. Advertising promotional allowances are subject to regulation under antitrust laws, and should only be offered to Tektronix business partners after consultation with the Law Department. All estimates supplied to any customer or supplier, including forecasted delivery dates, must be fair, reasonable, and supported by objective facts, experience and the exercise of good judgment. The party receiving the information should always be advised that the information is provided as an estimate and not a commitment on the part of Tektronix and that Tektronix will not assume any liability for inaccuracies in the estimated information. Page 9 of 25 For more detailed information on Tektronix' advertising policies and related laws, please visit: http://fp-law.tek.com/law/advertising.html See related information regarding Tektronix' Entertainment & Gifts and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) Guidelines. SUPPLIERS Suppliers to Tektronix will always be treated fairly and honestly. They will receive clear instructions and timely feedback to allow them to perform at their best. Goods and services acquired for Tektronix should be selected based on their price, quality, suitability, delivery schedule and service, using the highest ethical business practices in source selection, negotiation, and administration. Purchase agreements should be in writing and clearly identify the material terms of what we expect from the supplier, as well as what they expect from us. Pricing must be appropriate to the services or products provided. Reasonable efforts should be made to carefully consider and evaluate competing offers from other companies. The same specifications or information and instructions will be provided to each competing supplier for a proposed purchase. Tektronix' Representatives or any person having a close personal relationship with a Tektronix Representative (including affiliated entities) should not directly participate as a business partner or vendor without prior written approval from the Chief Compliance Officer or the VP of the relevant business unit, as described under the Conflicts of Interest Guideline. A supplier's proprietary information given to Tektronix will be protected in accordance with our agreements with them, as described under the Gathering Competitive Information section of the Confidential Information Guideline. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST At Tektronix there is no room for a conflict of interest between a Representative's personal affairs and company business. Tektronix Representatives may not engage in any business activity or investment that could prevent the Representative from impartially performing his or her duties at Tektronix. This requires that each Representative avoid any actual or apparent conflict of interest between personal affairs and company business. Any time a conflict appears, or the possibility exists that such conflict might develop, Representatives should discuss and resolve the matter with his or her manager, the Human Resources Business Partner assigned to support the Representative's Business unit or Corporate Functions, the Chief Compliance Officer or the Vice President of the relevant business unit. Examples of some clear conflict of interest situations which must be avoided are: - Any financial interest (other than small amounts of stocks or bonds in publicly traded companies) in any supplier, customer, or competitor; - Any consulting, contract, or employment relationship with any customer, supplier, or competitor; - Any outside business activity which is competitive with any of Tektronix' businesses; - The receipt of gifts, gratuities (see the policies set out in these Guidelines dealing with gifts and gratuities), or excessive entertainment from a company with which we have business dealings (See additional information under Tektronix' Entertainment and Gifts Guideline); - Any outside activity of any type which is so substantial as to call into question your ability to devote appropriate time and attention to your job responsibilities with Tektronix; - The service on any board of directors of any customer, supplier, or competitor unless such board service has been disclosed to Tektronix and approved by the General Counsel; - Being in the position of supervising, reviewing, or having any influence on the job evaluation, pay, or benefits of any relative or person with whom you have a close personal relationship within Tektronix; or approving, authorizing, or processing a transaction that was prepared, approved, or initiated by such a person. Page 10 of 25 - Taking advantage of an opportunity which you learned of in the course of your employment with Tektronix, such as acquiring property that Tektronix may be interested in; and - Selling anything to Tektronix or buying anything from Tektronix (except through any normal program of disposal of surplus Tektronix property which is offered to all employees in general). Anything that presents a conflict for you would probably also present a conflict if it relates to a member of your family or someone with whom you have a close personal relationship. For example, ownership of stock in competitors or suppliers, or receipt of gifts or entertainment by members of your family or spouse, would likely create the same conflict of interest as if you owned the stock or received the gift. As a Tektronix Representative, you may not conduct business on behalf of Tektronix with a member of your family, or a business organization in which you or a family member has a significant financial interest, or is a stockholder, director, officer, creditor, or proprietor. Representatives are expected to disclose to their manager, in writing, any potential conflict. No Representative may engage in any activity involving a potential conflict unless they have a written, signed statement from their manager advising the Representative that the activity does not violate Tektronix policies. No manager may give such a statement unless approved by the Chief Compliance Officer or the Vice President of the relevant business unit. ENTERTAINMENT & GIFTS (GRAPHIC) Tektronix Representatives may not give or accept any gift if the value of the gift might indicate intent to improperly influence the normal business relationship between Tektronix and any of its suppliers, customers, or competitors. If any Tektronix Representative is given any substantial gift or favor, the Representative must notify his or her manager and return the gift. This does not apply to minor items commonly exchanged in business relationships, such as mugs, t-shirts, pens and pencils, but even here, discretion and common sense must be used in deciding whether the gift needs to be returned. Although there may be some cultural differences, in commercial business, the exchange of social amenities between suppliers, customers, and Tektronix Representatives is acceptable when reasonably based on a clear business purpose and within the bounds of good taste. For example, conferences accompanied by a meal with suppliers or customers are often necessary and desirable. Whenever appropriate, these activities should be on a reciprocal basis and Representatives must ensure that business and personal integrity are strictly maintained when either accepting or paying for any business entertainment You must observe all applicable federal laws and regulations relating to gifts and entertainment for public employees in the countries involved. In addition, Tektronix' policy is to avoid even the appearance of an improper action. Excessive entertainment or gift-giving of any kind is not acceptable. More specifically, Tektronix's policies include the following: - Individual gifts of nominal value (less than USD $50) are permitted, provided they are given as a gesture of professional friendship, do not involve a company commitment having to do with the transaction of business, or could not be construed as influencing business conduct. - Cumulative annual gifts valued at over USD $100 should be reported to and approved by your manager or returned. - Hosted business-related entertainment (group events, conferences, meals, etc.) may be accepted only if: - Tektronix representatives are accompanied by the host - Activity serves a valid business purpose (training, relationship building, etc.) - Activity represents ordinary and customary practice for transaction, business relationship and local / corporate environment - Expenditure is reasonable and not excessive (for example, event fee may be hosted, but travel expenditures should be paid by Tektronix) - Activity may not be construed as having undue influence on business decisions Page 11 of 25 - Hosted events such as meals should be reciprocal, when appropriate. - In no event should a gift be accepted from a supplier or potential supplier during, or in connection with, contract negotiations. - Under no circumstances may any Tektronix Representative give or accept kickbacks in any form to or from a supplier, subcontractor, customer, or any other party. - Presentations of a ceremonial nature in keeping with national or cultural custom (such as Christmas/Holiday gifts, the Chinese "Lai See" custom or the Japanese "Ochugun or Oseibo" customs) are not encouraged. However, these gifts may be permitted as long as what is accepted is not excessive, is not in violation of any law, and cannot be construed as a bribe or a payoff. - Neither the Representative nor his or her family members may accept any discount on personal purchases that may be perceived to be offered because of a supplier's or customer's relationship with Tektronix, unless the same discount is available to all Tektronix Representatives. - Gifts to government officials outside the United States to obtain business may violate the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). If you have any additional questions regarding the propriety of specific situations, please contact your manager or the Chief Compliance Officer at chief-compliance-office @tektronix.com Page 12 of 25 TRADE REGULATIONS As a global company, Tektronix sells its products to governments and private entities worldwide. However, United States law specifically forbids certain practices relating to international business, of which all company Representatives must be aware. CUSTOMS Tektronix will comply with customs laws and regulations wherever we do business. Generally, the laws require that the company make complete and accurate statements to customs authorities about the value, kind, and origin of goods that Tektronix imports for manufacturing and sale. And, in many parts of the world, imported goods must be marked with their country of origin. Tektronix must also ensure that statements made on customs invoices to our customers who import our products are accurate and comply with local customs laws. It is against Tektronix policy to accommodate requests to lower customs values or describe a product in misleading terms. Failure to make correct statements or mismarking imported goods can lead to fines, penalties and/or incarceration. Further, violations can potentially affect the ease and timeliness of the import process for Tektronix and our customers. Any questions or possible violations relative to customs laws should be directed to Tektronix Customs Department. EXPORT CONTROL The United States prohibits, regulates and licenses the export of many products, services and technologies to foreign countries. These regulations extend to the release of certain Tektronix proprietary information abroad, but also to foreign national Representatives of Tektronix in the United States. Many of these U.S. prohibitions and suspensions apply to Tektronix' subsidiaries worldwide. In addition, other countries, as well as the United Nations, may from time to time regulate exports to certain countries. Most foreign countries in which Tektronix does business also maintain controls over exports of certain Tektronix products, including certain measurement products which can be used in military and nuclear weapons development and testing programs. Also, the United States and many allied foreign governments have end user controls which prohibit the export of any Tektronix products with knowledge they are intended for: (1) foreign firms sanctioned by the U.S.; (2) agents of foreign governments the subject of U.S. or international trade embargoes; or (3) foreign entities involved in nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons, or missile programs in targeted countries. Tektronix may from time to time prohibit transactions to specific persons, entities or destinations as a matter of policy, regardless of other government controls. For more detailed information, see the Export Control Policy for more information at: http://fp-trade.tek.com/trade/. Tektronix Export Control maintains a list of "Red Flags", or suspicious signs of a potential violation of export regulations. Red Flags are indications that a violation may occur or that circumstances don't add up (Export Enforcement describes them as anything that causes you to think "hmmm..."). The Department of Commerce publishes a non-exhaustive list of red flags that might indicate a problem. Red Flags are listed on the export control website at http://fp-trade.tek.com/trade/red_flags.html. A red flag creates a positive obligation to ask more questions. Anyone who touches a transaction (export or domestic sale) has responsibility to identify and resolve red flags. A red flag does not necessarily mean that something is wrong -- it can be overcome if further research explains the circumstance and allays suspicions of a violation. If a Tektronix Representative sees a red flag, they must ask for details. We may not shield ourselves from red flags by avoiding certain information. If a Representative still has suspicions about a customer's information, stop the business and tell Tektronix' Export Control. Any and all questions or possible violations relative to export controls should be directed to Tektronix Export Control Department. Page 13 of 25 FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) applies to Tektronix and its majority-owned subsidiaries worldwide. The FCPA prohibits any person acting on behalf of Tektronix from making a payment to a foreign official to obtain or keep business. Company policy strictly forbids these payments. The legal penalties involved may be severe for both the individual and the Company. Tektronix' policy and guidelines for compliance with the FCPA are set forth in its Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Compliance Policy, located at: http://eurotekweb.tek.com/eurotekweb/legal/l_foreign_corrupt/foreign_corrup t_practices_act.html. Any Representative acting on behalf of Tektronix must comply with the FCPA. There are certain other types of payments, sometimes called "facilitating" payments, which may be required to be made in countries outside of the United States in order to have minor government officials perform nondiscretionary duties that they might otherwise delay or fail to undertake. "Facilitating" payments as described under the FCPA, are generally small and in the nature of "tips." Such payments are permitted or expected by local custom and generally are not treated as illegal by local law enforcement agencies. Tektronix discourages such payments, but recognizes they may be necessary to do business in certain jurisdictions. If a facilitating payment falls within the limits described above as allowed under the FCPA, is not intended for improper purposes and has been approved by senior management, it is permitted. Because the status of certain types of payments may be unclear, Representatives must review with the Law Department the nature of any questionable payments before they are made. Representatives are prohibited from paying any bribe, kickback or other similar unlawful payment to any public official, or government, or other individual, regardless of nationality, to secure any concession, contract or favorable treatment for Tektronix or the Representative. ANTITRUST LAWS In marketing and selling Tektronix products, Representatives must comply with global antitrust laws. Tektronix supports the antitrust laws and is committed to the philosophy of competition and free enterprise that underlies them. Violation of antitrust laws is a serious offense and can result in severe criminal and civil penalties, including discharge, fines and imprisonment. The antitrust laws generally prohibit agreements or actions in restraint of trade. Among the activities found to be clearly anti-competitive and in violation of the law are agreements or understandings among competitors to fix or control prices; to boycott suppliers or customers; to allocate product, territories, or markets; or to limit or reduce production. Such actions must be avoided. More information about antitrust laws and Tektronix' polices can be found at: http://fp-law.tek.com/law/antitrust.html ANTI-BOYCOTT Representatives and agents shall not support or cooperate with an unsanctioned boycott of another country that is "friendly" to the United States. The Company must report to the U.S. government any information it has regarding such a boycott; including any request it may receive to support one. Requests may be found in letters of credit, shipping instructions, certificates of origin and other contract-related documents. For example, a customer may ask for our certification that the products supplied are not made in a particular country, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, or words to that effect. Complying with this request is prohibited by law and Tektronix must report this to the U.S. Government. If you learn of a boycott of another country that is "friendly" to the United States, contact the Legal department. Page 14 of 25 CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION (GRAPHIC) Tektronix safeguards its proprietary and other confidential information and trade secrets, and also similarly protects comparable information obtained from customers and suppliers. Tektronix Representatives are responsible for protecting this information. TEKTRONIX' CONFIDENTIAL & PROPRIETARY INFORMATION Proprietary information, trade secrets and other confidential information includes information about technologies under development, future products, marketing strategies, production or sales data, names or lists of Tektronix employees, and information about or supplied by customers or vendors. In addition, any financial information not already published in Tektronix' public documents is confidential. This includes, for example: orders, sales, strategies and business unit or functional performance. See additional information under the Material Information section of the Trading in Tektronix Stock Guideline. Tektronix Representatives should only discuss proprietary, confidential or trade secret information internally with Tektronix Representatives who have a need to know such information. Representatives must avoid inadvertent disclosure in the course of social conversations and business relations with customers, suppliers and others. If there is a business reason to disclose or receive confidential, trade secret or proprietary information, you should use a Tektronix Non-Disclosure Agreement or "NDA" (also referred to as Confidential Information Agreement or "CIA") and comply with the directions for its use, including having it signed by someone with proper authority. NDAs or CIAs offered by a third party must always be reviewed by a Tektronix attorney. Contact the attorney responsible for NDAs/CIAs in the Law Department with questions or if you need an outside agreement reviewed. Each Tektronix employee is required to sign a written agreement which sets forth more detailed limitations on disclosure of proprietary and confidential information and trade secrets. Representatives, who are unsure of how to handle requests for confidential information, should seek guidance from their manager, their Tektronix employee contact, the Controller in the organization they serve, or the Law Department. More information about protecting Tektronix' confidential information and the Economic Espionage Act can be found at: http://fp-law.tek.com/law/ip/TradeSecrets.htm GATHERING COMPETITIVE INFORMATION Representatives may not use improper means to gather information about competitors. Theft, illegal entry and electronic eavesdropping are unacceptable means of searching for competitive intelligence. In addition, Representatives may not misrepresent themselves or their situation (by posing as a customer, for example) in order to convince another person to release information, or engage a third party to do so. This is known a pretexting and is illegal under the Federal Trade Commission Act. Representatives may not offer a bribe or a gift in exchange for competitors' information, nor solicit confidential information from a competitor's ex-employee now working for Tektronix. This is not a comprehensive list of unacceptable means. General business information about competitors, customers and vendors, which is appropriate to obtain includes information that is: generally accessible to the public, provided at public meeting or through government filings, or obtained through any other publicly available source. Always check to ensure there is no notification that the information is proprietary, or that a confidential relationship is breached by obtaining the information. Tektronix' Privacy Statement is located at: http://www.tek.com/Measurement/privacy/privacy_truste.html Page 15 of 25 TRADE SECRETS Under the Economic Espionage Act of 1996, it is a federal crime to steal or otherwise take, without authorization, a product related trade secret of another for economic benefit and while knowing or intending that the action will injure the owner. The penalties for violating the law are substantial, for both the individual and the company. The Act applies to activities of US citizens and US companies both within and outside the US and activities of foreign companies within the US. You should talk with your manager before using any non-public competitive information where there is a question about how it was obtained. If you have any questions about the information, how it was obtained, or if it is confidential, you should contact the Law Department. EXTERNAL PATENTS, COPYRIGHTS & TRADEMARKS Just as Tektronix regards its patents, trade secrets, trademarks and copyrights as valuable corporate assets, we must respect the valid intellectual property rights of other companies and persons. Tektronix will not knowingly infringe on others' patents, trademarks or copyrights, or misappropriate others' trade secrets. For procedures for the proper licensing or other permitted use of these assets please contact the IP attorney for your business. Of particular importance to day-to-day operations, and something that must be avoided by each Representative, is the unauthorized copying of books, computer software or any other copyrighted material including music, movies, and other artistic works. Refer to the Law Department website for further guidance. Tektronix has entered into licensing agreements that permit photocopying and electronic copying of many magazines and articles. If you have questions about whether a particular magazine is covered, please contact the Law Department. All users of computer equipment at Tektronix are responsible for making certain that the computer equipment being used does not have unauthorized or undocumented software on a hard disk or otherwise accessible for use. Representatives must not make, store, transmit or make available unauthorized copies of copyrighted material using Tektronix, computers, networks or storage media. Representatives must not use peer-to-peer file transfer services or take other actions likely to promote or lead to copyright infringement. Computer software licensed by Tektronix must not be illegally copied for personal, company, or customer use. Using illegally copied software is a violation of federal law and carries with it the possibility of criminal penalties. Violating a license agreement (such as making more copies than the license permits) is wrong, and if done willfully, could expose the Company and the violator to substantial damages, including punitive damages. Most commercial software marketed today is covered by copyright and by a license agreement that must be accepted by the purchaser before the software is put into use. (In many cases, the license may be accepted by the act of opening the package or using the software. Such agreements are often referred to as shrink-wrap or break-the-seal licenses.) License agreements typically limit the use of the software to a specific computer or a specified number of individual personal computers. Tektronix Representatives who use a personal computer or workstation at Tektronix may be required from time to time to sign a statement acknowledging that knowledge of the company policy and certifying that all computer equipment in use complies with the policy requirement. The Law Department is available to provide specific advice regarding the company's rights and responsibilities under the copyright law and under specific license agreements. Page 16 of 25 INFORMATION SECURITY Information is an asset that, like other important business assets, is essential to Tektronix' business and must be protected. This is especially important in the increasingly interconnected business environment, in which information is exposed to a growing number and wider variety of threats and vulnerabilities. Information can exist in many forms, including, but not limited to, information that is: written on paper, stored electronically, transmitted by post or electronically, reflected as images (films, video, graphics, etc.), or provided verbally. Whichever form the information takes, or means by which it is shared or stored, it must be appropriately protected. Information security is the protection of information from a wide range of threats and exposures to ensure business continuity, minimize business risk, and maximize return on investment and business opportunities. Information security is achieved by establishing and executing controls, including policies, processes, procedures, organizational structures, and software and hardware functions. All Representatives are responsible for taking proper steps to secure our information and comply with specific controls applicable to their business and information. Tektronix' Information Security Policies address, for example: information access, password management and physical security. Details of these and other Information Security policies are located at: http://tekwiki.tek.com/display/infosec/Tektronix+Information+Security+ Policy. Page 17 of 25 MANUFACTURING QUALITY AND SAFETY ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & SAFETY (GRAPHIC) Proper management of health, safety and the environment is a Tektronix expectation and a sound business practice. It reduces Tektronix' liabilities, saves resources, and protects the well being of our Representatives, customers, shareholders, and the world in which we live. Tektronix establishes and maintains sound management practices to promote workplace health & safety and responsible interaction with the environment. Those practices include: - Identification, reduction, and management of the environmental impacts of our operations. - Identification, reduction, and management of Health and Safety risks at our facilities. - Development of programs to identify and ensure compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and orders. - Auditing and self-assessment for continual improvement. - Employee training in proper Environmental Health & Safety practices. Responsibility for compliance with Tektronix' Environmental Health & Safety policies and guidelines extends to all levels of Representatives at Tektronix and its subsidiaries. Each Tektronix and subsidiary Representative has the responsibility to be aware of and follow Environmental Health & Safety policies and guidelines and the responsibility to use sound judgment. Every Representative has the responsibility to communicate with area management about possible unsafe or hazardous conditions in the workplace, as well as incidents that result in injuries, illness, or damage. Failure to meet our responsibilities under the Environmental and Health & Safety laws, regulations, and orders can have serious consequences, including civil and criminal sanctions against Tektronix and its Representatives and may require substantial expenditures for cleanup and compensation. Sanctions could affect Tektronix' ability to maintain market competitiveness and our reputation as a responsible corporate citizen. Business partners and Tektronix Representatives are also expected to live up to these obligations. Additional information on Environmental, Health & Safety responsibilities and programs is available at: http://fp-ehs.tek.com/ehs/index.htm. PRODUCT SAFETY Tektronix intends to research, design, develop, manufacture, market and sell products that are safe for their intended and reasonably foreseeable uses. All Tektronix products will meet or exceed all applicable safety and product compliance regulatory standards and requirements in every place where they are to be marketed and sold. This statement applies to all products whether manufactured or purchased for resale from third parties, including supplies and accessories, and regardless of the method of distribution by Tektronix -- direct, indirect, sold, leased, loaned, donated or used for demonstration. QUALITY ASSURANCE (GRAPHIC) Tektronix is committed to developing, manufacturing, and delivering high quality services and products, including hardware and software that meet Tektronix' own quality standards. To ensure compliance with our quality standards and to meet our customers requirements, Tektronix has developed and implemented an extensive quality management system that includes design, manufacturing, service, and support process control procedures. Page 18 of 25 No Representative may violate or circumvent either the letter or the spirit of these procedures. You should bring to management's attention any lapse in quality assurance or process control procedures, including testing and inspection. If you are not satisfied with actions taken or explanations provided, you must bring the matter to the attention of the next level of management, or Human Resources. You may also report your concern confidentially on the Employee Access Line. Submitting or knowingly permitting others to submit any fraudulent documents relating to Tektronix' products or replacement parts is prohibited. Such acts carry potential penalties, which could result in the criminal prosecution of Tektronix and the Representative(s) involved. Managers must avoid placing or seeming to place pressure on Representatives that could cause them to violate applicable regulations or acceptable standards of conduct. Even with increased production, standards of quality and conduct must be maintained. Shortcuts in operations (including production and testing) must be avoided if they violate contract terms in any respect. However, our customers expect us to be alert for methods and processes that improve quality and reduce the cost of operations. Any ideas related to improving quality and/or reducing the cost of operations should be discussed with appropriate management prior to implementing. No Representative may violate or circumvent either the letter or the spirit of these procedures.

Employees are expected to be familiar with the policies established by Tektronix as it relates to Electronic Communication and Internet Access. Improper use of electronic communication may include, but is not limited to: personal profit-making ventures, political activities and unauthorized destruction, deletion or dissemination of electronic communication.

It is the responsibility of every employee to respect the privacy of fellow employees. Access to and use of employee and information is limited to only that which is required to do your job. Employee information should not be used for personal benefit or the benefit of others. Names or list of Tektronix employees, as well as organizational charts, shall not be distributed to anyone who does not have a legitimate Tektronix business need for that information. For additional guidelines about this topic, see the Tektronix' Privacy Statement, located at: http://www.tek.com/Measurement/privacy/privacy_truste.html EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY & AFFIRMATIVE ACTION Tektronix recruits, hires, trains, promotes, and makes other employment decisions without discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age, physical or mental disability (if the individual can perform the essential functions of the position with reasonable accommodation), pregnancy, childbirth or related medical condition, veteran's status or any other status protected by applicable federal, state, or local law. In the United States, Tektronix also has affirmative action plans for minorities, females, Vietnam-era, disabled veterans, and individuals with disabilities.

Tektronix is committed to providing and maintaining an environment that is free from all forms of harassment and discrimination and treating all individuals with dignity and respect. As a result, Tektronix strives to maintain a workplace in which each employee can achieve his or her full potential without being impeded by discrimination or harassment based upon race, gender, national origin, age, religion, sexual orientation, disability or any other status or characteristic that is protected by applicable law. Any employee, who engages in harassing, discriminatory or other objectionable behavior in violation of this policy is subject to disciplinary action up to and including immediate termination of employment. SEXUAL HARASSMENT Like other forms of discrimination, sexual harassment is a violation of state and federal law and is strictly prohibited. No employee or manager of Tektronix will engage in sexually harassing conduct or condition any term or condition of employment on submission to any sexual conduct. Sexual harassment by or toward an employee of any vendor, contractor, affiliate or joint venture, visitor, or customer of Tektronix also is prohibited. Sexually harassing conduct may be verbal, visual, or physical in nature. While sexual harassment sometimes is difficult to define, in general all employees should be aware that the following actions are inappropriate in the workplace: - Sexual conduct or conversation - Sexual advances - Requests for sexual favors - Other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that may be offensive or intimidating to others - Use of sexually-oriented comments, posters, e-mails and jokes, when they contribute to a hostile or offensive working environment Conduct is considered sexual harassment where: - Submission to sexual conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment, engagement or advancement within the organization; - Submission to or rejection of sexual conduct influences employment or engagement decisions affecting the individual; or - Sexual conduct or language interferes with an individual's work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment. Please find additional details on Tektronix's harassment policy at the following link: http://fp-hr.tek.com/hr/usa/ER_Policies/Valuing_Diversity.htm#Harassment%20 and%20Discrimination REPORTING HARASSMENT Tektronix cannot help resolve a discrimination, harassment or retaliation problem unless we know about it. Therefore, it is every Representative's responsibility to bring these types of situations to management's or Human Resources' attention so that the appropriate steps can be taken to resolve the issue. If you believe that you or any other employee has been subjected to discrimination, including sexual or other forms of unlawful harassment, you should immediately notify your supervisor, Human Resources Representative, the Chief Compliance Officer or any other member of Tektronix management. Remember that Tektronix takes such complaints seriously and investigates promptly so that appropriate action can be taken to eliminate any unacceptable conduct. Page 21 of 25 Complaints and investigative information are considered company-confidential. While the company will conduct investigations discreetly and strive to protect the privacy of the individual involved, you should be aware that the company cannot promise complete confidentiality. It is important that all employees feel free to come forward with complaints or concerns regarding inappropriate conduct. Retaliation against any employee for making a complaint or for providing information concerning a complaint is not tolerated. If you are not comfortable speaking with your supervisor or Human Resource Representative, please report concerns of harassment to the Ethics & Compliance Office or EthicsPoint, our confidential, 3rd party employee access website or toll-free access line. (See instructions at Reporting Violations). If you believe that your complaint or concern has not been handled, or that you have been subjected to retaliation for making a complaint you should follow the steps in the Dispute Resolution Policy or contact the Ethics & Compliance Office. RELATIONSHIPS While Tektronix recognizes and respects the rights of employees to associate freely and to pursue personal relationships with those they encounter in the work place, employees must use good judgment to ensure that those relationships do not negatively impact their job performance and their ability to supervise others. Family members (e.g. spouse, in-law, dependents, domestic partner) or those in a close personal relationship may be employed in the same department or work groups. However, one family member or person in a close personal relationship may not have supervisory responsibility, or be a part of any employment action, over another family member or those in a close personal relationship or be in a position that creates an actual or perceived conflict of interest. Employees in such relationships must inform their management or Human Resources. Tektronix will try to work with both individuals to resolve the conflict of interest in a mutually satisfactory way. Page 22 of 25 COMPANY AND EMPLOYEE ACTIVITIES MEDIA & INVESTOR INQUIRIES Tektronix values its relationships with those in the media and will endeavor to provide full and prompt disclosure of all material developments or events. Media relations are the responsibility of the Corporate Communications Department. All statements to the media or responses to inquiries from the media shall be handled through that department. In the event the media inquiry relates to a pending or threatened legal matter, media communications should also be coordinated with the Law Department. Any Representative asked for a statement from any member of the media should respond by explaining this policy and advising the questioner to contact the Corporate Communications Department or visit their website at: http://fp-corpcomm.tek.com/corpcomm/ Tektronix is a publicly traded company, and the securities laws regulate communications with Tektronix shareholders. Communication from any shareholder or investment advisor requesting information relating to Tektronix should be forwarded to Tektronix' Investor Relations Department for proper handling. Please see contact information at the following link: http://www2.tek.com/wwwcontact/Contact.Us?pg=frameset&geo=413&chnl=13 COMMUNITY RELATIONS Every year Tektronix receives hundreds of requests for contributions from various community organizations. All such requests are forwarded to the Tektronix Foundation for processing in accordance with the guidelines established by the trustees of the Foundation. Company guidelines require donations to be made only to IRS-designated non-profit organizations, and prohibit donations to political or religious organizations, fund-raisers or individuals. Requests from health organizations will be referred to the local United Way office. For more detailed information on Tektronix' community relations, please visit: http://fp-hr.tek.com/hr/usa/ER_Policies/Tek_Foundation.htm For additional detailed information about employment guidelines and procedures see "Policies, Procedures & Guidelines" section of the Human Resources website, located at: http://fp-hr.tek.com/hr/usa/ER_Policies/Default.htm POLITICAL ACTIVITIES Tektronix encourages all employees to vote and be personally active in the political process. The national and local laws in many countries, however, significantly restrict use of Tektronix funds and resources in connection with political activities. For example, United States federal laws severely limit the use of corporate funds or resources in support of federal elections campaigns. These U.S. laws are broadly applied and cover most direct uses of Tektronix funds, facilities, and equipment or Representative time. They also cover indirect political contributions, such as including a contribution on an employee's expense account causing Tektronix to reimburse the employee for that expense. Because the laws regarding corporate involvement in political activity are very complex and violation can have severe consequences, before using any Tektronix resources (including funds, facilities, equipment or employee work-time) in connection with any political activity (including national or local election campaigns or government lobbying activity), the details of the proposed use should be discussed in advance with and approved by your manager and the Law Department. Page 23 of 25 The political process has become highly regulated. If you have any questions about what is or is not proper you should consult with the Legal Department before agreeing to do anything that could be construed as involving Tektronix in any political activity at either the federal, state, or local level, or in any foreign country. See discussion above about the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. LOBBYING Lobbying is strictly governed by the laws of the United States and other countries. Lobbying is generally defined as contact with elected officials regarding legislative or regulatory issues impacting the Company. While the specific rules vary widely, the trend has been toward expanding significantly the definition of who is a lobbyist, who must register as a lobbyist, and what constitutes lobbying. In short, Tektronix is required by law to disclose lobbying-related information in great detail. Contact the Legal department in advance of any planned lobbying activities on behalf of Tektronix. Further, the Legal Department must be consulted prior to contracting with any external lobbyist or lobbying firm. TRADING IN TEKTRONIX STOCK It is Company policy that a Representative who has material nonpublic information relating to Tektronix may not buy or sell securities of the Company or engage in any other action to take advantage of that information or pass that information on to others. Even the appearance of an improper transaction must be avoided to preserve the Company's reputation of adhering to the highest standards of conduct. This policy also applies to material nonpublic information relating to any other company, including our customers or suppliers, obtained in the course of doing business. Tektronix' Stock Trading Policy is located at: http://fp-law.tek.com/law/tek_stock_trading.html - MATERIAL INFORMATION Material non-public information is any information that has not been disclosed to the general public and that a reasonable investor would consider important in a decision to buy, hold, or sell stock. In short, material information is any information that could reasonably affect the price of the stock. If a securities transaction becomes the subject of scrutiny, it will be viewed after-the-fact, with the benefit of hindsight. Therefore, before engaging in any transaction, a Representative should carefully consider how regulators and others might view the transaction in hindsight. Common examples of information that will frequently be regarded as material are: projections of future earnings or losses, order levels, anticipated growth rates, negotiations, discussions, and agreements regarding significant acquisitions, orders or strategic relationships, changes in management, significant new products, the gain or loss of a substantial customer or supplier and information regarding stock offerings or other financings. Either positive or negative information may be material. For example, if you learn in a meeting that Tektronix was expected to post a loss for the quarter, and if that information has not been disclosed in a press release, you cannot share this news with friends, nor trade in Tektronix stock as the information you overheard is considered "material". The buying or selling of Tektronix stock after you have gained knowledge of information that has not been publicly disclosed, would be in violation of U.S. law. Page 24 of 25 - DIRECTORS, OFFICERS & OTHER INSIDERS Tektronix has an Insider Trading Policy applicable to directors, officers and other potential insiders. For more detailed information review the policy at: http://www.tek.com/ir/business/insider_trading.html - POTENTIAL LIABILITIES Representatives may be subject to substantial criminal and civil liability for engaging in transactions in the Company's shares at a time when material information regarding the Company is known to the insider but has not been disclosed to the public. In addition, Representatives may be liable for the improper transactions of other persons (commonly referred to as "tippees") to whom they have disclosed material information regarding the Company not previously disclosed to the public. - PUT OR CALL OPTIONS Because we believe it is improper and inappropriate for any Representatives to engage in short-term or speculative transactions involving Company stock and the high level of risk of misuse of undisclosed material information about the Company, it is the Company's policy that Representatives shall not engage in any short sales of Company stock and shall not purchase or sell put or call options on the Company's stock. This policy does not apply to exercises of stock options under the Company's stock plans. - STOCK OPTION PURCHASE/ESPP Purchases of stock upon exercise of stock options or through the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (but not sales of the purchased shares, and not "cashless" exercises of options) are exempt from the rule against transacting in company stock while in possession of material, non-public information. - TIPPING INFORMATION TO OTHERS Representatives are prohibited from sharing with anyone (including family members and others living in a Representative's household) information that could have an impact on the Company's stock price. The above liabilities can apply, whether or not a Representative derives any benefit from another's actions. - COMPANY ASSISTANCE Any person who has questions about specific transactions may obtain additional guidance from the Law Department. The ultimate responsibility for adhering to the policy statement and avoiding improper transactions rests with each Representative. It is imperative that Representatives use their best judgment.
