We are filing this Amendment No. 1 to correct the pro forma amounts reported for stock based compensation determined under the fair value based method for the three and six month periods ended April 2, 2005. This correction had no impact on our consolidated balance sheets, results of operations or cash flows for any of the periods presented. For a more detailed description of the restatement, see Restatements in Note 15 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
This Form 10-Q/A amends and restates Item 1. Financial Statements, Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition and Item 4.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2004, as amended. All adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been made and include all normal recurring adjustments. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.
Stock-Based Compensation
As permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), we have elected to account for stock-based compensation awards issued to employees using the intrinsic value measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recorded for stock options granted with exercise prices greater than or equal to the fair value of the underlying common stock at the option grant date.
SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123 (SFAS 148) amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require more prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements regarding the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. SFAS 123 requires the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share as if we had adopted the fair value method. Under SFAS 123, the fair value of stock-based awards to employees is calculated through the use of option pricing models, even though such models were developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which significantly differ from our stock option awards. These models also require subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. For purposes of estimating the effect of SFAS 123 on our net income the fair value of our options was estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

Our calculations are based on a single option valuation approach and forfeitures are recognized as they occur. During the periods presented, we recorded no compensation expense under APB 25. The following table illustrates the effect on our net income and earnings per share had we applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation (in thousands, except per share data):

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R eliminates the alternative of applying the intrinsic value measurement provisions of APB 25 to stock compensation awards issued to employees. Rather, the new standard requires enterprises to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). On April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced the adoption of a rule that defers the required effective date of SFAS 123R. The SEC rule provides that SFAS 123R is now effective for registrants as of the beginning of their first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005.
We have not yet quantified the effects of the adoption of SFAS 123R, but it is expected that the new standard may result in significant stock-based compensation expense. The pro forma effects on net income and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of original SFAS 123 on stock compensation awards (rather than applying the intrinsic value measurement provisions of APB 25) are disclosed above. Although such pro forma effects of applying original SFAS 123 may be indicative of the effects of adopting SFAS 123R, the provisions of these two statements differ in some important aspects. The actual effects of adopting SFAS 123R will be dependent on numerous factors including, but not limited to, the valuation model chosen by us to value stock-based awards; the assumed award forfeiture rate; the accounting policies adopted concerning the method of recognizing the fair value of awards over the requisite service period; and the transition method (as described below) chosen for adopting SFAS 123R.
SFAS 123R will be effective for our fiscal quarter beginning October 2, 2005, and allows for the use of the Modified Prospective Application Method. Under this method, SFAS 123R is applied to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the effective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered (such as unvested options) that are outstanding as of the date of adoption shall be recognized as the remaining requisite services are rendered. The compensation cost relating to unvested awards at the date of adoption shall be based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated for pro forma disclosures under the original SFAS 123. In addition, companies may use the Modified Retrospective Application Method. This method may be applied to all prior years for which the original SFAS 123 was effective or only to prior interim periods in the year of initial adoption. If the Modified Retrospective Application Method is applied, financial statements for prior periods shall be adjusted to give effect to the fair-value-based method of accounting for awards on a consistent basis with the pro forma disclosures required for those periods under the original SFAS 123. We have not yet determined which method we will apply upon our adoption of SFAS 123R.
2. ACQUISITIONS
On June 3, 2003, we initiated a tender offer to purchase the 5,250,000 (39.62%) outstanding shares of our Lambda Physik subsidiary owned by other shareholders (the minority interest) for approximately $10.50 per share. Through the end of fiscal 2004, we had purchased a total of 4,588,500 outstanding shares for approximately $49.0 million, resulting in a total ownership percentage of 95.01% (inclusive of shares previously owned). During the six months ended April 2, 2005, we acquired the remaining 661,500 outstanding shares for approximately $11.8 million, resulting in our full ownership of Lambda Physik.
The difference between the purchase price of the minority interest of $12.2 million (including acquisition costs of $0.4 million) and the related carrying value of $6.3 million was recorded as an adjustment of the carrying value of the assets of Lambda Physik (the step acquisition adjustment). The step acquisition adjustment was recorded based on the proportion of the remaining minority interest acquired and was accounted for as follows (in thousands):

At April 2, 2005, we had $1.4 million remaining in an escrow account that will be applied towards remaining close out costs for the acquisition and is included in non-current restricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments on our condensed consolidated balance sheet (see Note 6).
3. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
In December 2004, our Lambda Physik subsidiary decided to discontinue future product development and investments in the semiconductor lithography market. As a result, during the six months ended April 2, 2005, we recognized a charge of $2.7 million (net of minority interest of $0.1 million) primarily related to recognizing write-downs of excessive and obsolete inventories, exiting certain purchase commitments and charges related to government grants. Of the $2.7 million charge, $2.2 million was classified as cost of sales; $0.2 million was classified as research and development; $0.1 million was classified as selling, general and administrative; and $0.2 million was classified as other expense.
4. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs (SFAS 151), an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4. SFAS 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material. SFAS 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We do not believe that the adoption of SFAS 151 will have a material effect on our results of operations or consolidated financial position.
In March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 (FIN 47). FIN 47 clarifies that conditional asset retirement obligations meet the definition of liabilities and should be recognized when incurred if their fair values can be reasonably estimated. The Interpretation is effective no later than December 31, 2005 and the cumulative effect of initially applying FIN 47 will be recognized as a change in accounting principle. We are in the process of evaluating the expected effect of FIN 47 on our consolidated financial statements.
5. REVENUE RECOGNITION
We recognize revenue when all four revenue recognition criteria have been met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered or the service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. Revenue from product sales is recorded when all of the foregoing conditions are met and risk of loss and title passes to the customer. Our products typically include a one-year warranty and the estimated cost of product warranty claims (based on historical experience) is recorded at the time the sale is recognized. Sales to customers are generally not subject to any price protection or return rights.
The vast majority of our sales are made to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors, resellers and end-users in the non-scientific market. Sales made to these customers do not require installation of the products by us and are not subject to other post-delivery obligations, except in occasional instances where we have agreed to perform installation or provide training. In those instances, we defer revenue related to installation services or training until these services have been rendered. We allocate revenue from multiple element arrangements to the various elements based upon relative fair values, which is determined based on the price charged for each deliverable on a standalone basis, except for certain products sold in the scientific market for which the fair value of installation is determined based on third party evidence of fair value.
Our sales to distributors, resellers and end-user customers typically do not have customer acceptance provisions and only certain of our sales to OEM customers have customer acceptance provisions. Customer acceptance is generally limited to performance under our published product specifications. For the few product sales that have customer acceptance provisions because of higher than published specifications, (1) the products are tested and accepted by the customer at our site or by the customers acceptance of the results of our testing program prior to shipment to the customer, or (2) the revenue is deferred until customer acceptance occurs.
Sales to end-users in the scientific market typically require installation and, thus, involve post-delivery obligations, however our post-delivery installation obligations are not essential to the functionality of our products. We defer revenue related to installation services until completion of these services.
For most products, training is not provided and, thus, no post-delivery training obligation exists. However, when training is provided to our customers, it is typically priced separately and is recognized as revenue after these services have been provided.

6. SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Marketable short-term investments in debt and equity securities are classified and accounted for as available-for-sale securities and are valued based on quoted market prices. Investments classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of related tax, recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income (OCI) in stockholders equity until realized. Interest and amortization of premiums and discounts for debt securities are included in interest income. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined based on the specific identification method and are included in other income (expense).

We provide warranties on certain of our product sales (generally one year) and allowances for estimated warranty costs are recorded during the period of sale. The determination of such allowances requires us to make estimates of product return rates and expected costs to repair or replace the products under warranty. We currently establish warranty reserves based on historical warranty costs for each product line. If actual return rates and/or repair and replacement costs differ significantly from our estimates, adjustments to recognize additional cost of sales may be required in future periods.

9. CURRENT AND LONG TERM OBLIGATIONS
At April 2, 2005 and October 2, 2004, our current and long-term obligations primarily consisted of our notes payable to finance our acquisition of Star Medical (Star notes). The Star notes agreement requires that we place cash and short-term investment balances in an amount equal to 120% of the principal balance in a restricted collateral account. At April 2, 2005, $15.2 million of current and $15.2 million of non-current restricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were related to the Star notes (see Note 6).
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Certain claims and lawsuits have been filed or are pending against us. In the opinion of management, all such matters have been adequately provided for, are without merit, or are of such kind that if disposed of unfavorably, would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

A total of 2,709,000 and 3,192,000 anti-diluted weighted shares have been excluded from the dilutive share calculation for the six months ended April 2, 2005 and April 3, 2004, respectively, as their effect was anti-dilutive.
13. INCOME TAXES
During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, we recorded a reduction of $10.2 million of valuation allowance on Lambda Physiks deferred tax assets as we believe that it is more likely than not that we will be able to realize these assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes, $0.6 million of the reversal was applied against goodwill recognized from the final step acquisition (see Note 2). The remaining $9.6 million of the reversal was recorded as a tax benefit during the quarter ended April, 2, 2005.
14. SEGMENT INFORMATION
We are organized around two separately managed segments: Electro-Optics and Lambda Physik, which we have identified as operating segments. Our Electro-Optics segment focuses on markets such as semiconductor and related manufacturing, materials processing, OEM laser components and instrumentation, scientific research and government programs, and graphic arts and display. Our Lambda Physik segment focuses on markets including lasers for the production of thin film transistors (TFT) used in flat panel displays, ink jet printers, automotive, environmental research, scientific research, medical OEMs, materials processing and micro-machining applications.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have been identified as the chief operating decision makers (CODMs) for SFAS 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information purposes as they assess the performance of the business units and decide how to allocate resources to the business units. Pretax income from continuing operations is the measure of profit and loss that our CODMs use to assess performance and make decisions. Pretax income from continuing operations represents the sales less the cost of sales and direct operating expenses incurred within the operating segments. In addition, our corporate expenses, except for depreciation of corporate assets and general legal expenses, are allocated to the operating segments and are included in the results below. Corporate expenses not allocated to the groups (depreciation of corporate assets and general legal expenses) are included in Corporate and Other in the reconciliation of operating results. Furthermore, interest expense, interest income and gains and losses on our deferred compensation plan assets are included in Corporate and Other in the reconciliation of operating results.

15. RESTATEMENTS
Deferred Compensation Plans
Subsequent to the issuance of our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended April 3, 2004, we identified errors in the accounting for our deferred compensation plans. In 1999, we amended our non-qualified deferred compensation plan (Plan) and introduced a new investment structure whereby the then existing and future contributions to the Plan were funded in Company-owned life insurance contracts. Since the change in investment structure to Company-owned life insurance contracts, we accounted for the Plan by recording the participants balances as a liability equal to the obligation to the participants and the related asset investments in the equivalent amount. As a result of a review of the accounting for the Plan in connection with a change to a new third-party administrator, we determined that the asset investments should have been recorded at the cash surrender value of the insurance contracts. Further, life insurance premiums loads, policy fees, and cost of insurance that were paid from the asset investments and gains and losses from the asset investments for this and one other deferred compensation plan should have been recorded as components of other income or expenses; and increases in the obligation to the participants should have been recorded as operating expenses.
As a result, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six month periods ended April 3, 2004 have been restated from the amounts previously reported to correct these errors.

Tax Effect on Pro Forma Stock-Based Compensation Disclosures
Subsequent to the issuance of our condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended April 2, 2005, we determined that the tax effect on stock-based compensation determined under the fair value method had been calculated incorrectly for the three and six month periods ended April 2, 2005. Accordingly, such pro forma amounts presented have been restated (see Note 1). For the three month period ended April 2, 2005, the correction of the error increased pro forma stock-based compensation expense, net of tax, by $0.8 million to $2.9 million from $2.1 million, as previously reported, and decreased pro forma net income by $0.8 million to $16.6 million from $17.4 million, as previously reported. For the six month period ended April 2, 2005, the effect was to increase pro forma stock-based compensation expense, net of tax, by $2.4 million to $6.8 million from $4.4 million, as previously reported, and decreased pro forma net income by $2.4 million to $18.1 million from $20.5 million, as previously reported. For the three months ended April 2, 2005 basic and diluted pro forma earnings per share each decreased by $0.03 from $0.57 and $0.56 per share, as previously reported, to $0.54 and $0.53 per share, respectively. For the six months ended April 2, 2005 basic and diluted pro forma earnings per share each decreased by $0.08 from $0.67 and $0.66 per share, as previously reported, to $0.59 and $0.58 per share, respectively.

All statements included in or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. These statements are generally accompanied by words such as may, will, could, would, should, expect, plan, anticipate, rely, believe, estimate, predict, intend, potential, continue, forecast or the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements also include the assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing statements. Our actual results may differ significantly from those projected in the forward-looking statements in this report. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this section and those set forth below in the section titled Forward-Looking Information is Subject to Risk and Uncertainty.
COMPANY OVERVIEW
BUSINESS BACKGROUND
We are one of the worlds leading suppliers of photonics-based solutions in a broad range of commercial and scientific research applications. We design, manufacture and market lasers, laser-based systems, precision optics and related accessories for a diverse group of customers. Since inception in 1966, we have grown through internal expansion and through strategic acquisitions of complementary businesses, technologies, intellectual property, manufacturing processes and product offerings.
We have two reportable business segments: Electro-Optics and Lambda Physik, both of which work with customers to provide cost-effective photonics-based solutions. Our Electro-Optics segment focuses on markets such as semiconductor and related manufacturing, materials processing, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) laser components and instrumentation, scientific research and government programs and graphic arts and display. Lambda Physik AG (Lambda Physik), our wholly-owned subsidiary with headquarters located in Göttingen, Germany, focuses on markets using lasers for the production of thin-film transistors (TFT) used in flat panel displays, ink jet printers, automotive, environmental research, scientific research, medical OEMs, materials processing and micro-machining applications.
We were originally incorporated in California on May 26, 1966 and reincorporated in Delaware on October 1, 1990.
As discussed in Note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included at Item I, we have restated our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six month periods ended April 3, 2004 to correct the accounting for our deferred compensation plans. We have also corrected our calculation of the tax effect on stock-based compensation determined under the fair value method for the three and six month periods ended April 2, 2005. All information included in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition has been correspondingly corrected to give effect to such restatements.
FUTURE TRENDS
After several years of process development, lasers are now used in mass production applications and the industry is benefiting in the form of enhanced performance and increased productivity. We experienced a strong recovery across all segments during fiscal 2004. We anticipate future demands in the advanced packaging market will steadily shift towards the use of ultraviolet laser-based tools, as they are capable of producing sub-50 micron features that are critical for next generation chip-scale and wafer-level packages.
The graphic arts and display market experienced a migration in technologies towards the use of direct diode laser systems as these systems have been adopted at a much faster rate during fiscal 2004. As we continue to move into fiscal 2005 and years beyond, we anticipate a number of our newer products such as a version of our Paladin laser and new diode laser technology will gain more traction in the marketplace.
Our Advanced Engineering Unit has built a prototype Red, Green and Blue (RGB) laser engine for rear projection television based on our patented OPS technology. The RGB laser system delivers suitable power and is comparable in size to the lamps currently
17
used in rear projection televisions. Alpha units of the RGB laser engine have been delivered to commercial customers for evaluation. We anticipate partnering with consumer electronics manufacturers to refine the package and evolve the technology to demonstrate acceptable lifetimes and to outsource the manufacturing of the RGB laser engine.
Anticipated drivers for expansion in the materials processing market include providing aggressive gains in cost-of-ownership for products and continuing increased expansion into geographical areas. The market for materials processing in Asian countries drove much of the growth in the first half of fiscal 2004, but has since stabilized, primarily due to foreign monetary policies established to slow economic growth. We anticipate growth to resume once the effects of these policies are felt and active measures to stimulate the economy begin to arise.
The market for laser material processing will continue to expand by providing cost effective manufacturing solutions for cutting, joining, marking and engraving of non-metal materials. One of the largest growth areas for us remains the Asian countries particularly in the production of capital equipment for apparel and leather goods.
Scientific research and government programs
We anticipate modest growth rates in the scientific research market for fiscal 2005 with applications in ultrashort pulses and in bio-research being the drivers of this anticipated growth.
OEM components and instrumentation
The instrumentation market has seen a migration from the use of mature laser technologies, mainly ion lasers, to new technologies, primarily based on solid state and semiconductors. Using our solid state lasers and patented OPS technology we are able to both assist and stimulate this transition. Furthermore, this trend is helping in the development of new applications such as security and clinical diagnostics. These applications are likely to require an increased number of lasers, however, the majority of these activities are still in the research and development stage and we expect only moderate impacts on the laser industry in fiscal 2005, with increases anticipated in future years. Nevertheless, we anticipate future opportunities in microscopy, lab-on chip and DNA sequencing based on our continuous product enhancements and evolving market developments.
Our Strategy
We strive to develop innovative and proprietary products and solutions that meet the needs of our customers and that are based on our distinctive expertise in lasers and optical technologies. In pursuit of our strategy, we intend to:
Leverage our technology portfolio and application engineering to lead the proliferation of photonics into broader markets We will continue to identify opportunities in which our technology portfolio and application engineering can be used to offer innovative solutions and gain access to new markets.
Optimize our leadership position in existing markets There are a number of markets where we have historically been at the forefront of technological development and product deployment and from which we have derived a substantial portion of our revenues. We plan to optimize our financial returns from these markets.
Maintain and develop additional strong collaborative customer and industry relationships We believe that the Coherent brand name and reputation for product quality, technical performance and customer satisfaction will help us to further develop our loyal customer base. We plan to maintain our current customer relationships and develop new ones with customers that are industry leaders and to work together with these customers to design and develop innovative product systems and solutions as they develop new technologies.
Develop and acquire new technologies We will continue to enhance our market position through our existing technologies and develop new technologies through our internal research and development efforts, as well as through the acquisition of additional complementary technologies, intellectual property, manufacturing processes and product offerings.
Emphasize supply chain management We will continue to focus on operational efficiency through an emphasis on supply chain management with the explicit intent of improving gross margins and increasing inventory turns.
Focus on long-term improvement of Return on Invested Capital We will continue to focus on long-term improvement of return on invested capital.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We have identified the following as the items that require the most significant judgment and often involve complex estimation: revenue recognition, accounting for long-lived assets (including goodwill and intangible assets), inventory valuation, warranty reserves and accounting for income taxes.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when all four revenue recognition criteria have been met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered or the service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. Revenue from product sales is recorded when all of the foregoing conditions are met and risk of loss and title passes to the customer. Our products typically include a one-year warranty and the estimated cost of product warranty claims (based on historical experience) is recorded at the time the sale is recognized. Sales to customers are generally not subject to any price protection or return rights.
The vast majority of our sales are made to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors, resellers and end-users in the non-scientific market. Sales made to these customers do not require installation of the products by us and are not subject to other post-delivery obligations, except in occasional instances where we have agreed to perform installation or provide training. In those instances, we defer revenue related to installation services or training until these services have been rendered. We allocate revenue from multiple element arrangements to the various elements based upon relative fair values, which is determined based on the price charged for each deliverable on a standalone basis, except for certain products sold in the scientific market for which the fair value of installation is determined based on third party evidence of fair value.
Our sales to distributors, resellers and end-user customers typically do not have customer acceptance provisions and only certain of our sales to OEM customers have customer acceptance provisions. Customer acceptance is generally limited to performance under our published product specifications. For the few product sales that have customer acceptance provisions because of higher than published specifications, (1) the products are tested and accepted by the customer at our site or by the customers acceptance of the results of our testing program prior to shipment to the customer, or (2) the revenue is deferred until customer acceptance occurs.
Sales to end-users in the scientific market typically require installation and, thus, involve post-delivery obligations, however our post-delivery installation obligations are not essential to the functionality of our products. We defer revenue related to installation services until completion of these services.
For most products, training is not provided and, thus, no post-delivery training obligation exists. However, when training is provided to our customers, it is typically priced separately and is recognized as revenue after these services have been provided.
Long-lived Assets
We evaluate long-lived assets whenever events or changes in business circumstances or our planned use of assets indicate that their carrying amounts may not be fully recoverable or that their useful lives are no longer appropriate. Reviews are performed to determine whether the carrying values of assets are impaired based on comparison to either the discounted expected future cash flows (in the case of goodwill) or to the undiscounted expected future cash flows (for all other long-lived assets). If the comparison indicates that impairment exists, the impaired asset is written down to its fair value. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that are used in the preparation of expected discounted and undiscounted cash flows.
At April 2, 2005, we had $92.3 million of goodwill and purchased intangible assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. As no impairment indicators were present during the second quarter of fiscal 2005, we believe this value remains recoverable based on the discounted estimated future cash flows of the associated products and technologies.
At April 2, 2005, we had $162.5 million of property and equipment on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
It is reasonably possible that the estimates of anticipated future net revenue, the remaining estimated economic life of the products and technologies, or both, could differ from those used to assess the recoverability of these assets. In that event, additional impairment charges or shortened useful lives of certain long-lived assets could be required.
19
Inventory Valuation
We record our inventory at the lower of cost (computed on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. We write-down our inventory to its estimated market value based on assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Inventory write-downs are generally recorded within guidelines set by management when the inventory for a device exceeds 12 months of its demand and when individual parts have been in inventory for greater than 12 months. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required which could materially affect our future results of operations. We write-down our demo inventory by amortizing the cost of demo inventory over a two-year period from the fourth month after it is placed in service. During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, we recorded $1.6 million (net of minority interest of $0.1 million) of inventory write-downs related to our decision to discontinue future product development and investments in the semiconductor lithography market within our Lambda Physik subsidiary. Due to rapidly changing forecasts and orders, additional write-downs for excess or obsolete inventory, while not currently expected, could be required in the future. Differences between actual results and previous estimates of excess and obsolete inventory could materially affect our future results of operations.
We provide warranties on certain of our product sales (generally one year) and allowances for estimated warranty costs are recorded at the time of sale. The determination of such allowances requires us to make estimates of product return rates and expected costs to repair or replace the products under warranty. We currently establish warranty reserves based on historical warranty costs for each product line. If actual return rates and/or repair and replacement costs differ significantly from our estimates, adjustments to recognize additional cost of sales may be required in future periods.
As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income tax provision (benefit) in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves us estimating our current income tax provision (benefit) together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheets.
We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to an amount that more likely than not will be realized. While we have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of our net recorded amount, an adjustment to the allowance for the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the allowance for the deferred tax asset would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets at Lambda Physik decreased by $10.2 million as we now believe that it is more likely than not that we will be able to realize these assets.
Federal income taxes have not been provided for on a portion of the unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries either because such earnings are intended to be permanently reinvested or because foreign tax credits are available to offset any planned distributions of such earnings.

Definitions and analysis of these performance indicators are as follows:
Bookings
Bookings represent orders expected to be shipped within 12 months. Bookings are generally cancelable without substantial penalty and, historically, we generally have not experienced a significant rate of cancellation. Bookings for a period are calculated by adding current period net sales to the increase or decrease in ending backlog during the period.
In our Electro-Optics segment, second fiscal quarter bookings decreased 8.3% and bookings for the six months ended April 2, 2005 decreased 8.7% from the same periods one year ago. Decreases in the microelectronics, OEM components and instrumentation, materials processing and scientific and government programs markets were partially offset by increases in the graphic arts and display market.
Although microelectronics bookings have decreased from the comparable periods in the prior year, they still continue to be strong as a direct result of our prior investment decisions. Today, a significant portion of our revenue is derived from sales to customers investing in emerging manufacturing technologies. This has allowed us to withstand recent downturns in capacity-driven demand. During the second fiscal quarter, there was improved activity in the wafer inspection and metrology arenas for both leading edge and legacy products, as fab utilization continues to climb. There was also resurgence for lasers used in photomask tools, both for semiconductors and flat panel displays as the market was pushed towards next generation devices to support shrinking feature sizes. Bookings for ultraviolet lasers used in printed circuit board (PCB) direct write were strong, presumably reflecting increasing demand for high resolution PCBs. There is a push to extend the direct write technology to other PCB formats, although this will require a different cost structure for the tool and laser. We are currently testing concepts for this purpose. Microvia drilling, which
21
utilizes both carbon dioxide and ultraviolet lasers, is also picking up as inventories and microvia PCB pricing seems to have bottomed out.
Bookings in the OEM components and instrumentation market decreased in the second fiscal quarter from the same period a year ago after coming off two successive quarters of growth. Our instrumentation business remains healthy as our Sapphire and Compass products continue to dominate this market. Emerging applications in HIV screening, live imaging microscopy and automated hematology hold future promise. Orders from medical OEM customers were weaker following inventory build-up in the preceding quarter. Similarly, bookings from laser OEMs were down sequentially after several annual buys were placed in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.
Bookings in the materials processing market decreased compared to the same prior year periods primarily due to the unusually high level of bookings in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. This is our third successive quarter of increasing demand, which was evident in several end markets, including textiles and marking and engraving. We believe an additional increase in demand was created when, earlier this year, the World Trade Organization lifted quotas on Chinese-made apparel, thereby creating demand for more processing capacity. We are also seeing a slight shift away from locally made carbon dioxide lasers in China towards commercial grade products. It is far too early to call this a trend, but it is a development worth watching as we estimate more than 10,000 domestic carbon dioxide lasers are sold in China each year. In the longer term, we remain concerned about energy prices and interest rates given their historical impact on this market.
Bookings in the scientific and government programs market decreased from the periods one year ago, but remained solid. We again experienced strong demand from the biological imaging market, which is consistent with our previous predictions. We posted the second highest-ever order rate for our Chameleon products. Our amplifier business was mixed as orders for standard products were in-line with expectations and stiff price competition from European suppliers led us to pass on some custom laser business. We set a record-high for orders of our Evolution laser, which has emerged as the standard for pumping amplifiers, including those from other vendors. On a geographic basis, the U.S. market recovered from its first quarter sluggishness and Asia remained on track. European bookings in the second fiscal quarter were disappointing and were due mostly to funding delays.
Bookings in the graphic arts and display market increased from the same prior year periods, driven by several applications. We have experienced an increase in demand for Paladin solid-state ultraviolet lasers used in newspaper printing. The main customer benefits are print speed and lower operating costs. Our penetration into the professional film finishing and digital film writing areas continues to gain momentum with new placements of our Sapphire series lasers. While green lasers used in computer-to-plate printing have nearly completely succumbed to diode lasers, there is a substantial installed based of legacy systems, which drove a moderately sizeable order for service stock. We have run a number of demonstrations of our previously announced RGB laser emitter for the consumer and commercial display market. Based upon feedback, we appear to be on target in terms of fit, form and function. Not surprisingly, lifetime and cost have rapidly emerged as key success factors. We are continuing to evolve the technology for this and other markets while we explore various manufacturing models.
In our Lambda Physik segment, second fiscal quarter bookings increased 3.7%, with increases in the lithography market partially offset by slight decreases in the industrial and scientific and medical markets. Year-to-date bookings increased 25.8%, with increases in the industrial and lithography markets partially offset by decreases in the scientific and medical market.
The industrial market dominated the current quarter order stream for the Lambda Physik segment, although second fiscal quarter orders were down slightly from the strong orders in the same quarter in the prior year. More than half of the industrial bookings came from a large order for lasers used in low-temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) annealing. Despite recent reports of excess capacity in the flat panel display (FPD) market, this large order helps demonstrate that LTPS continues to gain share against amorphous silicon. In fact, one recent report suggested that LTPS panels would account for 30% of the FPD market by 2008, versus its current 9% share.
Lithography bookings increased from the prior year periods and should remain mostly service-related. We will continue to support our installed base, but have discontinued future investments in lithography. We are also exploring options to sell Lambda Physiks interest in Xtreme Technologies, its joint venture with Jenoptik to develop extreme ultra-violet (EUV) light sources.
SciMed bookings grew slightly due to strong increases in our OptexPro lasers which have gained traction with customers in the medical OEM and scientific markets, partially offset by some unusually high scientific orders in the second quarter of fiscal 2004.
Net Sales
Net sales include sales of lasers, laser-based systems, precision optics, related accessories and service contracts. Net sales for the second fiscal quarter increased 1.4% in our Electro-Optics segment and 18.0% in our Lambda Physik segment from the same quarter
22
one year ago. Net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2005 increased 6.0% in our Electro-Optics segment and 29.9% in our Lambda Physik segment from the same period one year ago. For a more complete description of the reasons for changes in net sales, we refer you to the Results of Operations section of this Form 10-Q/A.
Gross Profit as a Percentage of Net Sales
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales (gross profit percentage) is calculated as gross profit for the period divided by net sales for the period. Gross profit percentage in the second fiscal quarter increased from 42.8% to 46.8% in our Electro-Optics segment and increased from 32.2% to 35.6% in our Lambda Physik segment from the same quarter one year ago. Gross profit percentage in the first six months of fiscal 2005 increased from 42.6% to 46.3% in our Electro-Optics segment and increased from 25.6% to 28.8% in our Lambda Physik segment from the same period one year ago. For a more complete description of the reasons for changes in gross profit percentage, we refer you to the Results of Operations section of this Form 10-Q/A.
Research and Development as a Percentage of Net Sales
Research and development as a percentage of net sales (R&D percentage) is calculated as research and development expense for the period divided by net sales for the period. Management considers R&D spending to be an important indicator in managing our business as investing in new technologies is a key to future growth. R&D percentage decreased from 12.4% to 10.8% in the second fiscal quarter and decreased from 13.1% to 11.1% for the six months ended April 2, 2005 from the same quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, one year ago. For a more complete description of the reasons for changes in R&D percentage, refer to the Results of Operations section of this Form 10-Q/A.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by continuing operating activities shown on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows primarily represents the excess of cash collected from billings to our customers and other receipts, including tax refunds, over cash paid to our vendors for expenses and inventory purchases to run our business. This amount represents cash generated by current operations to pay for equipment, technology, and other investing activities, to repay debt, fund acquisitions and for other financing purposes. We believe this is an important performance indicator since cash generation over the long term is essential to maintaining a healthy business and providing funds to help fuel growth. We believe generating consistent cash from operations is an indication that our products are achieving a high level of customer satisfaction and we are appropriately monitoring our expenses and inventory levels. For a more complete description of the components of cash flows from continuing operating activities, we refer you to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in this Form 10-Q/A and the Changes in Financial Condition section of this Form 10-Q/A.
Daily Sales Outstanding in Inventories
We calculate daily sales outstanding (DSO) in inventories as net inventories at the end of the period divided by net sales of the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the period, using 90 days for quarters. This indicates how well we are managing our inventory levels, with lower DSO in inventories resulting in more cash flow available. The more money we have tied up in inventory, the less money we have available for research and development, acquisitions, expansions, marketing and other activities to grow our business. Our DSO in inventories for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 decreased 1.4 days from the same quarter one year ago primarily due to Lambdas write-off of lithography inventory and better management of inventory levels in relation to sales volumes in both segments, partially offset by Electro-Optics increase due to a combination of a build-up of safety stock for some key components and increased inventory levels to improve customer service.
Daily Sales Outstanding in Receivables
We calculate daily sales outstanding (DSO) in receivables as net receivables at the end of the period divided by net sales during the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the period, using 90 days for quarters. This indicates how well we are managing our collection of receivables, with lower DSO in receivables resulting in more cash flow available. The more money we have tied up in receivables, the less money we have available for research and development, acquisitions, expansions, marketing and other activities to grow our business. Our DSO in receivables for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 decreased 3.7 days from the same quarter one year ago. The improvement in DSO is primarily due to a lower volume of receivables with longer terms in our Lambda segment, as well as improved collections.
Capital Spending as a Percentage of Net Sales
Capital spending as a percentage of net sales (capital spending percentage) is calculated as capital expenditures for the period divided by net sales for the period. This indicates the extent to which we are expanding or modernizing our operations, including investments
23
in technology. Management monitors capital spending levels as this assists management in measuring our cash flows, net of capital expenditures. Our capital spending percentage decreased from 4.6% to 2.8% compared to the same quarter one year ago primarily due to lower spending for information technology and manufacturing equipment. Our capital spending percentage decreased from 14.3% to 3.1% for the first six months of fiscal 2005 compared to the same year-to-date period one year ago primarily due to our purchase of our previously leased facility in Santa Clara, California, in the first quarter of fiscal 2004 and lower spending on information technology. We anticipate that capital spending for fiscal 2005 will be approximately 4% to 5% of net sales.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
On June 3, 2003, we initiated a tender offer to purchase the 5,250,000 (39.62%) outstanding shares of our Lambda Physik subsidiary owned by other shareholders (the minority interest) for approximately $10.50 per share. Through the end of fiscal 2004, we had purchased a total of 4,588,500 outstanding shares for approximately $49.0 million, resulting in a total ownership percentage of 95.01% (inclusive of shares previously owned). During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, we acquired the remaining 661,500 outstanding shares for approximately $11.8 million, resulting in our full ownership of Lambda Physik.
In December 2004, our Lambda Physik subsidiary decided to discontinue future product development and investments in the semiconductor lithography market. As a result, during the six months ended April 2, 2005, we recognized a charge of $2.7 million (net of minority interest of $0.1 million) primarily related to recognizing write-downs of excessive and obsolete inventories, exiting certain purchase commitments and charges related to government grants. We anticipate this decision will also result in re-deployment of a portion of Lambdas lithography future R&D dollars into the most promising growth areas of Lambda Physiks Industrial and Scientific/Medical markets.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, we recorded a reduction of $10.2 million of valuation allowance on Lambda Physiks deferred tax assets as we believe that it is more likely than not that we will be able to realize these assets.
