Annual Report (Form 10-K), fiscal year 1993

ITEM 1. BUSINESS
(a) General Development of Business
The company has continued to conduct its business under the same corporate structure. There have been no material reclassifications, mergers, or consolidations of the company or its subsidiaries during the year. During 1990-1991, the company realigned and restructured its operations into three principal elements which were renamed in 1993; semiconductor equipment, electronics, and environmental services. There have been no acquisitions or dispositions of material amounts of assets other than in the ordinary course of business during 1993.
(b) Financial Information about Industry Segments
The company operates within three industry segments-semiconductor equipment, electronics, and environmental services. Financial information about industry segments is included in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Part II, Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K.
(c) Narrative Description of Business
Semiconductor Equipment
The Semiconductor Equipment Group manufactures semiconductor processing equipment, primarily chemical-vapor deposition (CVD) equipment. The company's atmospheric-pressure CVD equipment is used by semiconductor manufacturers worldwide in the production of memory devices (DRAMs) and microprocessors.
Historically, the company's CVD systems have been used primarily for the deposition of interlevel-dielectric films--the first dielectric layer on a semiconductor wafer. The company's current principal product, the TEOS999 System, deposits both interlevel and intermetal layers of film on sub-half-micron geometries. The addition of the intermetal capability increased the potential market size for W-J's CVD equipment.
The company's next-generation product, the WJ-1000 System, is designed for high-throughput CVD onto the 200-mm (8-inch) wafers currently entering production in major fabrication facilities in the U.S. and overseas.
A variant of Watkins-Johnson's semiconductor-production tool is used for manufacturing flat-panel displays for personal-communication, computing and entertainment products.
Semiconductor equipment products are primarily marketed through manufacturers' representatives and global distributor networks. Sales by the segment were 28% of consolidated sales in 1993, 21% in 1992 and 24% in 1991.
Semiconductor equipment product customers are numerous. The majority of the segment's sales are to manufacturers of semiconductor integrated circuits. There are several domestic and international competitors and competition is intense. In meeting the competition, emphasis is placed on selling quality products having excellent reliability and performance and a strong customer support network.
Electronics
The Electronics Group manufactures turnkey systems, integrated subsystems and signal-processing components for a broad range of communications and defense applications. The group is serving new customers who have wireless-communication and "dual-use" requirements in addition to supplying sophisticated electronic products for defense-intelligence, missile-guidance and space-communications missions.
Recent commercial contracts include high-fidelity W-J cellular receivers to monitor ongoing telephone traffic to ensure authorized use of the system, transponder subsystems to enable ship traffic to navigate treacherous waterways during inclement weather and signal-processing components for a wide range of wireless-communications products.
Watkins-Johnson receivers, antennas and signal-analysis equipment are used by both commercial and military governmental agencies to perform range-monitoring, frequency-measurement, signal-localization and interference-analysis functions, often in complex, high-signal-density environments.
Key missile programs, such as the Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) and the High-speed Anti Radiation Missile (HARM) continue to represent a substantial portion of the group's core defense-electronics business.
Electronics products are marketed through direct sales efforts and distributor networks. Sales by the electronics segment were 70% of consolidated sales in 1993, 76% in 1992 and 72% in 1991. The majority of the segment sales is made to government agencies and to customers engaged in defense contracting. The principal customer for such sales is the U.S. Department of Defense. Sales contracts with the government are customarily subject to terms and conditions which provide for renegotiation of profits or termination of the contract at the election of the government. The right to terminate for convenience has not had any significant effect on the company's financial position or results of operations.
The electronics segment has numerous competitors which include both large diversified corporations and smaller specialty firms. Due to the various industries in which the company and its competitors operate, a competitive ranking cannot be reasonably established. However, the electronics segment is a leading supplier in several of its product markets. In meeting its competition the company offers quality products featuring excellent reliability and performance at competitive prices.
Environmental Services
W-J Environmental (WJE) specializes in hydrogeology and offers services from the remedial investigation of contaminated-water sites through the remedial action necessary to eliminate the environmental problem.
The recent addition of an environmental engineering capability enabled WJE to design and install an innovative wastewater-minimization system which eliminates the discharge of heavy metals and cyanide into the public sewer system. This system is being marketed to manufacturers and governmental agencies charged with finding ways to cope with increasingly restrictive environmental regulations.
The unit also markets its capabilities in chemistry, microbiology, geophysics, toxicology, risk assessment and data management to customers who do not require a full range of environmental services, but have a serious requirement for one or two areas of expertise which our new group can satisfy.
Other Business Items
Raw materials for the production of semiconductor equipment and electronics products are obtained from numerous suppliers. Dependence on any particular supplier is minimal. Business operations are not believed to be seasonal. Except for negotiated advance or progress payments from customers on long-term contracts in the defense-electronics business, there are no special working capital practices in any of the three segments.
The company has been increasingly active in securing patents and licensing agreements to protect certain proprietary technologies and know-how resulting from its on-going research and development efforts. Although the company holds and has filings pending on numerous domestic and foreign patents and technology licenses for the manufacture and sale of various products, patents have not significantly affected the company's operations or financial performance. Management believes the company's competitive position is derived primarily from its core competence of engineering, manufacturing and understanding of its customers and markets.
Total company backlog at December 31, 1993 was $222,628,000 compared to $207,827,000 at December 31, 1992. The percentage of backlog attributable to the semiconductor equipment and electronics segments were 22% and 77% respectively in 1993, compared to 9% and 89% in 1992. Approximately 86% of all backlog at year-end 1993 is expected to be shippable within 12 months compared to 83% at year-end 1992.
Company-sponsored research and development expense was $27,163,000 in 1993, $27,210,000 in 1992, and $27,180,000 in 1991. Customer-sponsored research and development was estimated to be approximately $18,000,000 in 1993, $25,000,000 in 1992, and $15,000,000 in 1991.
The company's employment on December 31, 1993 was 2,390. None of the company's employees is covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The company's relationship with its employees is good.
Environmental issues are discussed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Part II, Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K.
(d) Financial Information about Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales.
Company foreign operation assets and sales are less than ten percent of consolidated totals. Sales outside the United States accounted for 33% of the company's sales in 1993, 25% in 1992, and 30% in 1991. The inherent risks of foreign business are similar to those of domestic business but with the additional risks of foreign government instability and export license cancellation. A major portion of foreign product orders in the electronics segment requires export licensing by the Department of State prior to shipment. For international shipments of electronics and semiconductor equipment, the company purchases forward exchange contracts and/or obtains customer letters of credit to reduce foreign currency fluctuation and credit risks. For further information on foreign sales, see Note 7 and Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Part II, Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K.
ITEM 2.



ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Watkins-Johnson Company and subsidiaries conduct their main operations at plants in Palo Alto, Scotts Valley and San Jose, California and Gaithersburg, Maryland. Additional operations are conducted in Columbia, Maryland, and Windsor, England. The company has nine field offices in the United States and five offices overseas. As part of the company's cost reduction efforts, the 56,000 square-foot facility located in North Carolina was closed in 1991.
At December 31, 1993 there were approximately 732,000 square feet of plant space in California, 225,000 square feet in Maryland, and 15,000 square feet in England. Approximately 90% of the company's plant space is occupied for the company's operations. The company is pursuing opportunities to realize the market value of its properties while ensuring efficient use of available space.
The electronics segment utilizes substantially all of the above named facilities except for the Scotts Valley plant, which houses the semiconductor equipment segment. In addition, the environmental services division maintains leased field offices located in Palo Alto, California and Denver, Colorado.
The Palo Alto and Columbia facilities are leased. Sales offices are also leased. The San Jose plant is held subject to a long-term mortgage. Information on long-term obligations is in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Part II, item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Financial Condition:
The company's financial condition remains strong while operations continued to generate sufficient funds for growth. During 1993 cash and equivalents decreased slightly from $49 million to $45 million as a result of higher demands on working capital and increased business volume. The company continues to be in excellent position to pursue investment opportunities including additional product development, potential acquisitions and stock repurchase. The company had no significant commitments outstanding at the end of the year.
Current Operations:
Performance of the Semiconductor Equipment Group was excellent in 1993. Sales and profit rebounded strongly from the poor conditions of the last two years. Sales volume in the Asia/Pacific region and the U. S. increased substantially. During 1993 Semiconductor Equipment Group facilities were modified to improve production efficiency and capacity in keeping pace with delivery commitments. The Semiconductor Equipment Group's record backlog at year-end indicates that a similar level of business volume is likely to continue through the first half of 1994.
Electronics Group sales were steady in 1993 while profits declined slightly. Lower margins were attributable to the disruption of operations resulting from the consolidation of a product line during the first half of 1993. Persistent pricing pressures from customers and competitors also contributed to the lower profitability. The Electronics Group is positioning itself to achieve a better balance between commercial and defense products. During 1993 the group was successful in capturing orders for high-end microwave components, RF receiver opportunities and other wireless communication products for commercial applications.
It must be recognized that the semiconductor equipment business is cyclical and can change rapidly. Uncertainty increases significantly when projecting demand for semiconductor equipment products more than six months into the future. Over a longer horizon, uncertainty persists as to how changes in worldwide defense spending may affect sales of the company's Electronic Group products. Therefore, the performance and results of 1993 may not be indicative of future performance.
Result of Operations:
1993 Compared to 1992 Semiconductor Equipment Group sales jumped 46% while Electronics Group sales remained flat. Margins improved significantly in the Semiconductor Equipment Group due to the higher volume and operational efficiencies. This more than offset the slight decline in profit margins experienced in the Electronics Group as explained above. As a result, the combined gross margin improved from 34% in 1992 to 35% in 1993. Selling and administrative expenses were higher as expected due to the increase in volume and expenses associated with the profitability of the company. In a percentage-of-sales comparison, selling and administrative expenses were favorable relative to 1992 but may increase in 1994 due to anticipated higher commissions and expenses associated with certain international sales. Research and development expenses decreased for the first three quarters of 1993 as activities eased from the intense levels experienced in 1992. In the fourth quarter 1993, Semiconductor Equipment Group began to reemphasize research and development activities to focus on the next generation of products to meet the time-to-market window.
The higher level of research and development expenses incurred in the fourth quarter is expected to continue for at least the first half of 1994. All other nonoperating income and expenses were within expectations. Due to the combined effect of the above factors, 1993 net income of $11,596,000 more than doubled the 1992 income of $4,963,000 before the cumulative effect of an accounting change. A cumulative tax benefit of $5,438,000 was added to the 1992 year-end results due to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".
1992 Compared to 1991 Company sales decreased 5%, mostly attributable to the continued softness in semiconductor-equipment business while electronics sales were flat. The company was able to achieve a 34% gross margin and an inventory turnover rate of more than four times a year by maintaining minimum levels of inventory during 1992. Although 1992 gross margins improved from the 32% in 1991, all elements of cost were under substantial pressure because of the extremely competitive business environment. The decline in selling and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to the company's continual cost reduction efforts. Research and development expenses were maintained at 10% of sales to improve our competitive position in both the electronics and semiconductor equipment markets. Intense R&D efforts resulted in several acceptances by key customers of our TEOS-Ozone process, indicating increased order opportunities for the Semiconductor Equipment Group. As discussed below, certain nonrecurring provisions related to restructuring, environmental remediation and government claims adversely affected 1991 results. The provisions made in 1991 continued to appear adequate to meet the company's obligations. Interest income was higher in 1992 resulting from additional funds for investment. All other nonoperating income and expenses were within expectations. The company adopted provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109) resulting in a cumulative tax benefit of $5,438,000. Income before the cumulative adjustment was $.66 per share in 1992 compared to a net loss of $2.98 per share in 1991.

WATKINS-JOHNSON COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation--The consolidated financial statements include those of the company and its subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions.
Cash Equivalents--Cash equivalents consist principally of U.S. Treasury bills and commercial paper acquired with remaining maturity periods of ninety days or less and are stated at cost plus accrued interest which approximates market value. The company's investment guidelines limit holdings in commercial paper to $1,000,000 per issuer.
Inventories--Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, using first-in, first-out and average-cost basis, or market. Cost of inventory items is based on purchase and production cost. Long-term contract costs and selling and administrative expenses are excluded from inventory. Progress payments are not netted against inventory.
Property, Plant and Equipment--Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Leases which at inception assure the lessor full recovery of the fair market value of the property over the lease term are capitalized. Provision for depreciation and amortization is primarily based on the sum-of-the-years'-digits and declining-balance methods.
Revenue Recognition--Revenue on fixed-price contracts other than long-term contracts is recorded upon shipment or completion of tasks as specified in the contract. Sales and allowable fees under cost-reimbursement contracts are recorded as costs are incurred. Long-term contract sales and cost of goods sold are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method based on the actual physical completion of work performed and the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs to complete the contract. Any anticipated losses on contracts are charged to earnings when identified.
Income Taxes--In 1992 the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109); previously the company had accounted for taxes under SFAS 96 (see Note 7). Under both SFAS 109 and 96, the consolidated statements of income include provisions (benefits) for deferred income taxes using the "liability" method for transactions that are reported in one period for financial accounting purposes and in another period for income tax purposes. State and local income taxes are included in selling and administrative expenses.
Per Share Information--Beginning in 1993 net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares (dilutive stock options) outstanding during the year. The difference between fully diluted earnings per share and primary earnings per share is not significant. Prior to 1993, the computation excluded outstanding stock options as their dilutive effect was not material.
Reclassification--Certain amounts for 1992 and 1991 have been reclassified to conform to the 1993 presentation.
2. RECEIVABLES
Receivables consist of the following (in thousands):
1993 1992 ---------- ---------- U.S. Government long-term contracts: Billed .............................. $ 2,936 $ 2,125 Unbilled ........................... 4,896 3,560 Commercial long-term contracts: Billed .............................. 3,818 2,416 Unbilled ........................... 11,917 10,367 ---------- ---------- Total long-term contract receivables .. 23,567 18,468 Other trade receivables ............... 50,404 37,094 ---------- ---------- Total receivables less allowance of $999 in 1993 and $982 in 1992 .... $73,971 $55,562 ========== ==========
Unbilled receivables represent revenue recognized for long-term contracts not yet billable based on the terms of the contract. These amounts are billable upon shipment of the product, achievement of milestones, or completion of the contract. Unbilled receivables are expected to be billed and collected within one year. Receivables representing retainage not collectible within one year are not material. There are no significant billed or unbilled receivables subject to future negotiation.
Government contracts have provisions for audit, price redetermination and other profit and cost limitations. Contracts may be terminated without prior notice at the Government's convenience. In the event of such termination, the company may be compensated for work performed, a reasonable allowance for profit, and commitments at the time of termination. The right to terminate for convenience has not had any significant effect on the company's financial position or results of operations.
3. LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS AND LINES OF CREDIT
Long-term obligations, excluding amounts due within one year, consist of (in thousands):
1993 1992 ---------- ---------- Mortgage ........................... $ 4,238 $ 5,508 Deferred compensation .............. 4,034 2,898 Environmental remediation .......... 10,257 11,933 Long-term leases ................... 7,934 8,305 ---------- ---------- Total ........................... $26,463 $28,644 ========== ==========
The current portion of long-term obligations is included in current liabilities. The expected maturity amounts are as follows: 1994, $4,102,000; 1995, $1,873,000; 1996, $1,917,000; 1997, $1,964,000, 1998, $2,016,000.
Mortgage--Primarily consists of a mortgage bearing 8-3/4% interest secured by the San Jose, California plant. The annual payments totaling $710,000 continue into the year 2003 and are payable in monthly installments. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the company for loans with similar terms, the carrying value of the mortgage approximates fair value.
Deferred Compensation--The company has deferred compensation plans covering selected members of management and key technical employees. The purpose is to reward and encourage talented employees to remain with the company.
Environmental Remediation--As discussed in Note 8, the company is obligated to remediate groundwater contamination at the Scotts Valley and Palo Alto facilities. The portion expected to be paid within one year is included in current liabilities.
Leases--Certain long-term leases for plant facilities are treated as capital leases for financial statement purposes. The leases expire during the years 1994 to 2014, however renewal options provide for lease extensions ranging from fifteen to thirty-five years at revised rental terms. The company also has noncancellable operating leases for plant facilities and equipment expiring through 1996. The leases may be renewed for various periods after the initial term. Payment obligations under these capitalized and operating leases as of December 31, 1993 are as follows (in thousands):
CAPITAL OPERATING LEASES LEASES ---------- --------- Lease payments: 1994 .................... $ 1,156 $1,104 1995 .................... 848 839 1996 .................... 848 163 1997 .................... 848 36 1998 .................... 848 Remaining years ........ 16,568 ---------- --------- Total ...................... 21,116 $ 2,142 ========== Imputed interest ........... (12,811) --------- Present value of lease payments (current portion, $371) .. $ 8,305 =========
Rent expense for property and equipment relating to operating leases is as follows (in thousands):
1993 1992 1991 --------- --------- -------- Real property ................ $ 1,033 $ 1,188 $1,234 Equipment .................... 865 830 929 -------- -------- ------- Total ................. $ 1,898 $ 2,018 $2,163 ======== ======== =======
Lines of Credit--The company has arranged with certain banks to provide unsecured revolving lines of credit totaling $23,500,000. These agreements are generally renegotiated on an annual basis. No material compensating balances are required or maintained. Borrowings under these facilities generally bear interest at prime rate, which was 6 percent in 1993. The lines of credit were substantially unused during the year. The amount of outstanding letters of credit and other guarantees, which may reduce the company's available lines, totaled $4,230,000 at December 31, 1993.
4. SHAREOWNERS' EQUITY
Stock Repurchase Program--The Board of Directors has authorized the company to repurchase a maximum of 1,500,000 shares of company stock. Approximately 936,000 shares have been repurchased through December 31, 1993.
Common Share Purchase Rights--For each share of company common stock outstanding, one Common Share Purchase Right is attached. The Rights expire October 20, 1996, and may be redeemed by the company for $.01 per Right at any time prior to 15 days after an entity acquires 20% or more of the company's common stock. The Rights become exercisable if an entity acquires 20% or more of the company's outstanding common stock, or announces an offer which would result in such entity acquiring 30% or more of the company's common stock. When exercisable, the Rights trade separately from the common stock and entitle a holder to buy one share of the company's common stock for $160. If the company is subsequently involved in a merger or other business combination, each Right will entitle its holder to buy a number of shares of common stock of the surviving company having a market value of twice the $160 exercise price. The Rights also provide for protection against self-dealing transactions by a controlling shareowner.
Stock Option Plans--The Employee Stock Option Plan provides for grants of nonqualifying and incentive stock options to certain key employees and officers. The options are granted at the market price on date of grant and expire at the tenth anniversary date. One-third of the options granted are exercisable in each of the third, fourth and fifth succeeding years. The Plan allows those employees who are subject to the insider trading restrictions certain limited rights to receive cash in the event of a change in control. Shares issued are net of retirement of shares used in payment for options exercised. In addition, the Plan permits the award of restricted stock rights subject to a fixed vesting schedule. The holder of vested restricted stock has certain dividend, voting, and other shareowner rights. No restricted stock awards have been made through December 31, 1993.
The Nonemployee Directors Stock Option Plan provides for a fixed schedule of options to be granted through 1998. Options granted are exercisable similarly to the Employee Stock Option Plan. The total number of shares to be issued under this plan may not exceed 200,000 shares. Included in the tables below, 17,640 option shares were granted at $12.88 in 1993 and 19,080 option shares were granted at $10.00 in 1992.
1993 SHARES PRICE - ---------- ---------- ---------- Granted ...................... 449,640 $12.38 to $24.50 Exercised .................... 87,945 $13.00 to $21.00 Terminated .................. 154,167 At December 31: Outstanding ................ 1,869,412 $ 9.63 to $36.75 Exercisable ................ 1,058,700 Reserved for future grants . 1,657,230
1992 SHARES PRICE - ---------- ---------- ------------ Granted ...................... 556,080 $ 9.25 to $10.75 Exercised .................... 19,270 $ 8.88 to $10.17 Terminated .................. 161,524 At December 31: Outstanding ................ 1,661,884 $ 9.63 to $36.75 Exercisable ................ 711,046 Reserved for future grants . 1,952,703
5. RESTRUCTURING
During 1991, the company took actions resulting in restructuring charges totaling $12,251,000 associated with the consolidation and closure of facilities. Such actions included reductions in work force and consolidation of product lines required to concentrate on core markets. Charges incurred were primarily related to severance pay and write-down of assets.
6. OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)--NET
In 1991 the company received and reviewed various audit reports and claims asserted by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) for contracts completed in prior years. Although the company believes it has meritorious defenses, provisions totaling $2,500,000 were recorded for these claims in 1991.
7. INCOME TAXES
In 1992 the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109) which permits recognition of tax benefits for certain temporary differences that could not be recognized under SFAS 96. Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets are recognized when management believes realization of future tax benefits of temporary differences is more likely than not. In estimating future tax consequences, SFAS 109 generally considers all expected future events other than enactments of changes in the tax law or rates, whereas SFAS 96 gave no recognition to future events other than the recovery of assets and settlement of liabilities at their carrying amounts. The cumulative effect of this accounting change increased deferred tax assets at January 1, 1992 and first quarter 1992 net income by $5,438,000 or 72 cents per share. As permitted by SFAS 109, the income tax provision for 1991 has not been restated. The provision (benefit) for Federal and foreign income taxes consists of the following (in thousands):
1993 1992 1991 ---------- ---------- ---------- Current .................. $ 6,325 $ 3,262 $ (2,665) Deferred ................. (1,075) (1,012) (3,660) ---------- ---------- ---------- Total ............. $ 5,250 $ 2,250 $ (6,325) ========== ========== ==========
Deferred tax assets (liabilities) are comprised of the following at December 31 (in thousands):
1993 1992 1991 ---------- ---------- ---------- Capitalized leases ...................$ 675 $ 736 $ 786 Deferred compensation ................ 3,357 2,055 2,291 Loss accruals ....................... 5,423 5,919 4,762 Environmental remediation ............ 4,034 4,601 5,134 Uniform capitalization .............. 1,055 929 844 Vacation accrual ..................... 1,744 1,698 1,656 Unusable tax benefits under SFAS 96 .. (5,438) Other ................................ 454 211 20 ---------- ---------- --------- Gross deferred tax assets......... 16,742 16,149 10,055 ---------- ---------- --------- Depreciation ....................... (1,413) (1,910) (2,267) Other ............................... (404) (389) (388) ---------- ---------- --------- Gross deferred tax liabilities.... (1,817) (2,299) (2,655) ---------- ---------- --------- Net deferred tax asset .............. $14,925 $13,850 $ 7,400 ========== ========== ==========
The differences between the effective income tax rate and the statutory Federal income tax rate are as follows: 1993 1992 1991 ---------- ---------- ---------- Statutory Federal tax rate ........... 35.0% 34.0% 34.0% FSC ............................... (7.4) (7.8) 3.5 Deferred tax changes ............. (14.7) Foreign subsidiary losses ........ 1.8 3.1 Other ............................. 1.8 1.9 (.8) ---------- ---------- ---------- Effective rate ..................... 31.2% 31.2% 22.0% ========== ========== ==========
Deferred tax changes in 1991 resulted primarily from loss provisions for which no tax benefit was recognized under SFAS 96. Domestic state and local income taxes included in selling and administrative expenses totaled $1,257,000 in 1993, $640,000 in 1992, and $265,000 in 1991. Foreign operation amounts represent less than 5% of totals.
The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (the Act) became effective on August 10, 1993. The provisions of the Act did not have a material effect on the company's deferred taxes or its results of operations.
8. ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION AND OTHER CONTINGENCIES
In 1991, the company completed negotiations with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for a consent decree, which was subsequently lodged in U.S. District Court. The agreement requires the company to complete restoration and thereafter maintain the groundwater quality at the Scotts Valley Plant. In a separate action, the California Environmental Protection Agency issued a letter challenging the company's position that the source of subsurface contamination originated outside of company facilities in Palo Alto and directed the company to revise its remedial investigation/feasibility study. The state further directed the company to clean up certain contamination under the company facilities irrespective of the origin thereof; and to coordinate remedial efforts among the potential responsible parties cited in a 1988 regional remedial action order. The company recorded a provision totaling $15,000,000 for estimated costs to comply with the consent decree on the Scotts Valley Plant site and for estimated costs necessary to fully investigate, develop, and implement the remedial actions at the Palo Alto Plant site. The provision was not reduced by any potential recoveries from insurers or other responsible parties.
The ultimate cost of restoring the sites cannot be predicted with certainty. Additional uncertainty exists with the Palo Alto site since the extent of the contamination and the respective share of each potential responsible party has not yet been conclusively determined. Technological advances and developments may also affect the future costs of the restoration efforts. Moreover, the company will continue to vigorously pursue recovery from its insurers and other responsible parties. The company believes adequate provisions have been taken to cover the expected expenditures associated with the known environmental actions at this time.
In addition to the above environmental matters and pending government claims discussed in Note 6, the company is involved in various legal actions which arose in the ordinary course of its business activities. Except for the provisions noted above and in Note 6, the company believes the final resolution of these matters should not have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.
9. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Profit Sharing Investment Plan--The Watkins-Johnson Employees' Profit Sharing Investment Plan conforms to the requirements of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code as a qualified defined contribution plan. The Plan covers substantially all employees and provides that the company's contribution equal 9% of the net pretax earnings and be funded each year. The amount charged to income was $1,945,000 in 1993, $906,000 in 1992, and $0 in 1991.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)--To encourage employee participation and long-term ownership of company stock, an ESOP was implemented on January 1, 1991. The Board determines each year's contribution depending on the performance and financial condition of the company. The Board approved a contribution equal to 1% of eligible employee compensation for 1993, 1992, and 1991, which resulted in charges to income of $887,000, $900,000, and $910,000, respectively. The ESOP is a qualified defined contribution plan under the similar employment and regulatory requirements as the Profit Sharing Investment Plan.
10. BUSINESS SEGMENT REPORTING
The company operates in three industry segments. Operations in the Electronics (formerly Defense) segment include the design, development, manufacture and sale of advanced electronic systems and devices for military, space, and commercial applications. Operations in the Semiconductor Equipment (formerly Commercial) segment involve the development, production, sales and service of chemical-vapor-deposition equipment for the manufacture of semiconductor products and flat-panel displays. The Environmental Services operations provide technical consulting services ranging from the exploration, development and utilization of groundwater resources to the detection and remediation of contaminated sites.
The U.S. Government is a significant customer for the Electronics and Environmental Services segments. Hughes Aircraft Company is a significant customer for the Electronics segment. Sales to U.S. Government agencies and Hughes Aircraft Company totaled $63,000,000 and $41,000,000 in 1993; $70,000,000 and $28,000,000 in 1992; $71,000,000 and $25,000,000 in 1991, respectively.
Corporate assets consist primarily of cash and equivalents. Intersegment sales were transferred based on negotiated prices.
Sales by geographic area are as follows (in thousands):
1993 1992 1991 ---------- ---------- ---------- United States .................. $193,075 $199,611 $ 193,298 Export sales: Europe ....................... 20,830 12,266 14,704 Far East ..................... 44,970 26,548 42,143 Other ........................ 15,652 11,311 14,294 European foreign operations .. 11,763 14,664 13,101 ---------- ---------- ---------- Total ..................... $286,290 $264,400 $ 277,540 ========== ========== ==========
Foreign operations' sales and identifiable assets are less than ten percent of consolidated totals.
11. QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA-UNAUDITED
Unaudited quarterly financial data are as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 ------------------------------------------ 1993 QUARTERS 1ST 2ND 3RD 4TH - -------------- -------- ------- -------- -------- Sales ...........................$67,083 $68,216 $72,708 $78,283 Gross profit ................... 22,147 23,250 25,462 30,682 Net income ...................... 1,370 2,652 3,512 4,062 Net income per share ............ $.18 $.33 $.42 $.52

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT
The consolidated financial statements of Watkins-Johnson Company and subsidiaries were prepared by management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. The statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and, as such, include amounts that are based on the best judgments of management.
The system of internal controls of the company is designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization and are reported properly. Perhaps the most important safeguard for shareowners is the company's emphasis in the selection, training and development of professional accounting managers to implement and oversee the proper application of its internal controls and the reporting of management's stewardship of corporate assets and maintenance of accounts in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Deloitte & Touche, independent auditors, are retained to provide an objective, independent review as to management's discharge of its responsibilities insofar as they relate to the fairness of reported operating results and financial position. They obtain and maintain an understanding of the company's accounting and financial controls, and conduct such tests and related procedures as they deem necessary to arrive at an opinion on the fairness of the financial statements.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, composed solely of Directors from outside the company, meets periodically, separately and jointly, with the independent auditors and representatives of management to review the work of each. The functions of the Audit Committee include recommending the engagement of the independent auditors, reviewing the scope and results of the audit and reviewing management's evaluation of the system of internal controls.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Shareowners and Board of Directors of Watkins-Johnson Company:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Watkins-Johnson Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareowners' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. 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 materials respects, the financial position of Watkins-Johnson Company and subsidiaries at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
In 1992, the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," as described in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.
