Annual Report (Form 10-K), fiscal year 1994

ITEM 1. BUSINESS GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Optical Coating Laboratory, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries ("OCLI" or the "Company"), was originally incorporated in Delaware in 1948. Subsequently, the Company was reincorporated in California in 1963 and again reincorporated in Delaware in 1987.
The Company is engaged primarily in the design, development, manufacture and marketing of multi-layer optical thin film coated products and, through its German subsidiary acquired in December 1992, fabricated glass products. Optical thin film coatings control and enhance light energy by altering the transmission, reflection and absorption of the various wavelengths of light to achieve a desired optical effect. The Company's products are used principally as components in products and systems manufactured by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and defense/aerospace contractors. The Company also manufactures and sells as a finished product Glare/Guard(R) anti-glare and anti-static filters for computer display terminals. The Company believes that it is the world's leading independent manufacturer of optical thin film coated products.
The Company's initial growth came from the development of high precision coated products for use primarily in defense and aerospace applications and in sophisticated analytical equipment. These types of coated products are produced by relatively costly batch processes and continue to represent a portion of the Company's revenues. From this base, the Company has expanded into commercial markets by designing and fabricating continuous coating equipment capable of producing a high volume of relatively less complex products at lower unit costs. This equipment has enabled the Company to serve large scale commercial markets with many of its products.
The Company has manufacturing facilities in Santa Rosa, California, Hillend, Scotland and Goslar, Germany. The Company has developed many of its thin film coating processes and has designed and fabricated most of the coating equipment used to produce its products. The Company believes its ability to design and build this specialized equipment has been an important factor in enabling it to compete successfully. Consequently, OCLI maintains an extensive array of thin film coating equipment, glass fabrication equipment and metrology equipment to meet customer requirements for coated products and fabricated glass components.
The Company has established strong, long-term customer relationships and serves a wide range of markets, including leading manufacturers of computers, photographic equipment, copier products, medical instrumentation, home entertainment products, and space and defense products.
SANTA ROSA OPERATIONS
The Company's corporate headquarters and its Santa Rosa and Glare/Guard(R) Divisions are located in Santa Rosa, California.
The Santa Rosa Division manufactures a wide array of generally high volume thin film coated products for application in commercial markets. These products are manufactured in high volume, single chamber coaters and in the Company's proprietary multi-chamber, multi-layer automatic coater (MAC). The division is a major supplier of coated front surface mirrors (FSM) for applications in copier and projection television optics systems. This division also supplies optical coatings for computer displays to OEM's and coated products for CRT and flat panel displays, photographic and scanning systems applications and specialty products for medical, scientific and analytical instruments and lighting applications.
The Santa Rosa Division also manufactures sophisticated, high precision coated products and optical components that are designed to meet the specific performance standards required for advanced scientific, space and defense systems. In this area, the division has unique thin film engineering and precision manufacturing capabilities to supply highly specialized, advanced optical coated products. The division has supplied coated solar cell covers for the solar power modules of all US space missions and many types of coated infrared optics used in space satellites and weapons guidance systems.
The Company's Glare/Guard(R) Division produces ergonomic enhancement products sold in the computer end-user market. Glare/Guard(R) filters provide viewing comfort and health and safety protection for computer users by improving the visibility of the information displayed on computer display monitors. Several models are also capable of minimizing electrical field radiation and static charge buildup of display devices. These products are generally sold through distributors, computer accessory dealers and computer supply catalogs.
EUROPEAN OPERATIONS
The Company's operations in Hillend, Scotland, consist of a fully integrated coating facility and Glare/Guard(R) assembly operation. The Hillend operation has independent thin film coating technology and, in several areas, is pursuing research and development independent of the parent company's technical programs.
The Company's subsidiary in Goslar, Germany, acquired December 31, 1992, is a fully integrated glass fabrication operation with capability for sawing, machining, heat treating, chemical treating and etching of glass products to its customers' requirements. This operation, for example, supplies fabricated glass elements for use as components in copiers, cameras and other electro-optical devices and instruments.
The manufacturing facilities and equipment of the Company's Scottish and German operations are modern and up-to-date, and the technology of the subsidiaries has been independently established over many years.
The Company has subsidiaries in Reinheim, Germany, Paris, France, Milan, Italy, and Madrid, Spain, primarily for distribution of its products in Europe. The headquarters for the Company's sales force in Europe is located in Reinheim, Germany.
RAW MATERIALS AND SUPPLIERS
The primary raw materials used by the Company in its coating operations are various forms of glass, germanium, fused silica and several types of plastic and inorganic coating materials, such as magnesium fluoride, silicon dioxide, aluminum or germanium. The Company has more than one supplier for each of its raw materials and maintains adequate inventories and close working relationships with its suppliers to assure a continuous and adequate supply for production. The Company purchases special grade flat glass under long-term allocation arrangements from one major US glass supplier and cannot routinely increase its supply of such special grade flat glass. The Company has not experienced any significant interruptions in production due to a shortage of raw material. Substrate materials are purchased by the Company or supplied by customers, while coating materials and their composition are generally supplied by the Company, as they are often considered a proprietary element of the manufacturing process.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company has devoted significant resources over time to the research and development of improved thin film products, processes and manufacturing equipment. As a result of these investments, the Company has been recognized as a leader in the development of many advanced thin film coating technologies. In certain cases, when particularly suited to customer mass production applications, the Company licenses these coating technologies to other companies for integrated mass production applications that the Company otherwise would not serve as part of its normal business. In conjunction with these licensing arrangements, the Company sometimes builds coating equipment.
The Company's most significant research and development effort over the past several years has been focused on metal mode reactive sputtering, which has been patented as MetaMode(R). Using its patented MetaMode(R) technology, the Company has developed a new process named DirectCoatTM. The DirectCoatTM process was developed at the request of one of the Company's long- time customers who desired a more cost effective method of coating CRTs than the Company's existing coating process which required that the glass panels be shipped to the Company for coating, then be returned to the customer to be bonded to the CRTs. In 1993, the Company signed a multi-year licensing agreement with this customer for the DirectCoatTM process and MetaMode(R) technology. The DirectCoatTM process has enabled the customer to integrate this highly reliable, fully automated process directly into its manufacturing line, allowing the customer to achieve a flexible, nearly zero lead time capability. The Company has also established a DirectCoatTM pilot line at its Santa Rosa facility and has made a general announcement regarding its DirectCoatTM capability, making this technology available to other CRT manufacturers.
Over the last several years, the Company has also been in the process of developing solid state (as compared to liquid based) electrochromic products utilizing thin film coating technology. Electrochromic devices allow for variations in the transmission or reflectance of light through or off an optical component depending on the voltage applied to the device. The initial development effort was to produce an electrochromic truck mirror in conjuntion with Donnelly Corporation under a joint venture agreement. This effort reached the prototype production stage but was abandoned in favor of each company pursuing its own independent electrochromic development program. The Company has continued its efforts to develop electrochromic coatings for various specific market and product applications.
Other areas receiving significant R&D focus include the development of techniques to improve coating uniformity on plastic substrates for flat panel display applications; the automation of the Company's coating equipment to improve product quality and increase equipment productivity; the development of new and improved product configurations for the Glare/Guard(R) market, and to eliminate coating and cleaning materials that are potentially harmful to the environment.
Company funded research and development expenditures totaled $5.2 million, $5.9 million, and $8.2 million, or 4.0%, 4.8%, and 7.1% of revenues during fiscal years 1994, 1993, and 1992. Additionally, a significant portion of the Company's customer contracts are for state-of-the-art coating applications entailing substantial development efforts. Such customer related developments contribute to the broad technology base of the Company.
MARKETING
The Company's coated products are sold by its sales engineering teams headquartered in Santa Rosa, California and Reinheim, Germany, who communicate directly with customers' engineering, manufacturing and purchasing personnel in determining the design, performance and cost specifications for customer product requirements. The Company also has regional sales offices in several major cities throughout the United States and in Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. In Japan and other Asian countries, the Company uses independent distributors and sales representatives for product marketing and sales.
With the exception of its Glare/Guard(R) product line, the Company markets most of its standard high volume coated products and fabricated glass components to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Its customized, technically sophisticated products are also marketed to original equipment manufacturers in addition to defense and aerospace contractors. In the export market, the Company markets some of its products to major distributors who perform product conversion and other value-added process steps before resale.
The Company's Glare/Guard(R) product line is marketed through distributors and dealers directly to end users.
The Company's ten largest customers accounted for 30% of its sales in 1994 and its largest customer accounted for 7%, 7%, and 6% of its sales in fiscal years 1994, 1993, and 1992. Because relatively few customers account for a substantial portion of the Company's sales, the loss of their business could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results. However, the Company believes that it has the resources and capabilities to replace any lost business over time through the development of new products and new applications for its products.
Foreign sales, primarily in Europe and Asia, represented 45%, 41% and 35% of net sales and other revenues for fiscal years 1994, 1993 and 1992. Sales by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary in Scotland represented 16%, 18% and 21% of net sales and other revenues for fiscal years 1994, 1993 and 1992. Sales by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary in Germany represented 15% and 11% of net sales and other revenues for fiscal years 1994 and 1993. Sales by these subsidiaries are primarily to customers in European countries.
Export sales by US operations to Asian countries represented 11%, 9% and 8% and to European countries 3%, 2% and 6% of net sales and other revenues for fiscal years 1994, 1993 and 1992. Such export sales could be adversely affected by significant adverse currency alignments. However, since such sales are generally to customers in major US trading partner countries, the risk of sudden adverse currency realignments affecting such export sales is considered low. Furthermore, a major portion of such sales are to long-standing customers of the Company who have participated in the development of product specifications and standards for their use and who are, therefore, not relying on competitive pricing alone in their decision to buy from the Company. Accordingly, the Company considers its export sales portfolio well balanced and with little risk of substantial overall loss.
Sales of products to the federal government, primarily under subcontracts, accounted for 11%, 7% and 8% of sales for the fiscal years 1994, 1993 and 1992. The Company's cost-plus-fixed fee (CPFF) government contracts for the years 1982 through 1994 are subject to pending governmental audit review. Such audit entails, primarily, a review of costs and expenses charged to government contracts with the focus on potential adjustments to general and administrative expense allocation to such contracts. For the period 1982 to 1994, general and administrative expenses allocated to government CPFF contracts have averaged approximately $930,000 per year, and for the most recent three years, such general and administrative expense allocations were $1,640,000 for 1994, $500,000 for 1993 and $220,000 for 1992. The Company has established a reserve for anticipated adjustments and disallowances that may result from such government audit reviews and does not expect any adjustments or disallowances to exceed amounts already reserved.
SEASONALITY
The Company's business is not seasonal in any material sense. However, the Company customarily shuts down a major portion of its operations between Christmas and New Year's Day. As a result, during the last five fiscal years, normally scheduled work days for the first fiscal quarter have averaged 56 compared to an average of 64 for the other three fiscal quarters. Nonetheless, the Company generally has sufficient manufacturing capacity and the ability to schedule additional production shifts to meet its customers' shipment requirements in any period of the year. The Company further believes that its revenues and costs are consistently matched in each fiscal quarter since labor costs during the holiday shutdown period are generally charged to vacation and holiday labor expense categories which are accounted for on a pro rata basis over the fiscal year.
The Company's European subsidiaries customarily shut down their operations for a two-week summer vacation. The summer shutdown has historically reduced the Company's fiscal fourth quarter sales in Europe as compared to sales of the other three fiscal quarters. In 1994 and prior years, the decline in sales during the summer in Europe has not been significant to the consolidated operations of the Company. Such seasonality, however, could become significant in future periods depending upon the overall significance of European sales to total Company sales.
BACKLOG
The Company's backlog of orders at the end of each of the last three fiscal years was as follows:
OCTOBER 31, 1994 1993 1992 (In Millions)
$35.0 $30.7 $29.3
Backlog includes $4.7 million and $3.4 million for 1994 and 1993 for the Company's operation in Goslar, Germany which was acquired during fiscal 1993. There was no backlog included in 1992 for this operation.
Substantially all orders in backlog at October 31, 1994 are scheduled for shipment during 1995. The amount of backlog at October 31, 1994 represents only a portion of anticipated sales in 1995, with new orders historically comprising the major portion of sales in a fiscal year.
Backlog consists of new orders on which shipments have not yet started or unfilled portions of orders which are only partly completed. Some of these orders are completed within several days of receipt, while others are not completed for a number of months. Substantially all orders included in backlog are subject to cancellation without penalty; however, the Company generally has not experienced significant order cancellations. Contractually specified delivery dates on orders sometimes are adjusted at the request of either the customer or the Company.
COMPETITION
The Company believes that it is the world's leading independent manufacturer of multilayer optical thin film coated products, although it is not aware of any publicly available market studies indicating its market share position. Its competitors include several private companies whose sales of coated products are believed to be considerably less than the Company's, as well as coating operations that comprise only a portion of the total business of other companies. The Company's glass fabrication operation in Germany also has local and foreign competitors.
In its commercial and technical markets, the Company competes primarily on the basis of the advanced technical characteristics and quality of its coated products, ability to meet individual customer specifications and dependability and capability as a supplier, the quality of technical assistance furnished to customers and product price.
In its Glare/Guard(R) anti-reflective optical filters market, the Company competes primarily on the basis of price, design, performance features and product distribution as well as the dependability and capability of the Company as a supplier.
There are a number of domestic and foreign competitors in the Glare/Guard(R) product market that purchase coated glass and assemble and sell filters in competition with the Company. Such competitors include 3M, Fellows, Polaroid and Hunts. The Company is the world's largest manufacturer of anti-reflective optical filters, as measured by total number of units produced, and manufactures filters for both Glare/Guard(R) products and other private label distributors. Glare/Guard(R) products are one of the largest brand names in their markets, both domestically and internationally.
Generally, no other single competitor can offer the market the versatility of the Company in terms of technologies or manufacturing capacity.
PATENTS AND LICENSES
The Company has 49 patents and 39 patent applications in the United States which cover materials, processes, products and production equipment. The Company also has patents and patent applications pending in various foreign countries covering the same technology. In addition, the Company assigned 13 patents and 3 patent applications to Flex Products, Inc. in connection with the Flex Products joint venture (see "Joint Ventures, Investments and Acquisitions" below). The Company has a license to use such patents. Expiration dates for the Company's various patents range from 1995 to 2010.
The Company considers its proprietary technology, its trade secrets and its patents to be of considerable value to its business. The Company's patent position is particularly important to its business in that its patents demonstrate and support its technological leadership position, safeguard its competitive position, and support existing and potential sales volume.
EMPLOYEES
At October 31, 1994, the Company had 1,162 employees of whom 834 were employed domestically, 123 were employed by the Company's operation in Scotland, 181 were employed by the Company's operation in Goslar, Germany, and 24 were employed in its sales offices in Europe. U.S. employees and employees in Scotland are not subject to collective bargaining agreements. Some of the employees of the Goslar operation are part of the national chemical, paper and ceramic union organization in Germany. There have been no work stoppages due to labor difficulties. The Company believes that its employee relations are satisfactory.
In 1987, the Board of Directors approved increases in severance benefits for employees in the event of certain changes in control of the Company. These severance arrangements have been extended through November 1995.
JOINT VENTURES, INVESTMENTS AND ACQUISITIONS
Information regarding joint ventures, investments and acquisitions by the Company for the years ended October 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, is included in Note 4 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company's 1994 Annual Report, which notes are incorporated herein by reference.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
Since the discovery of groundwater contamination at its facilities in Santa Rosa, the Company has conducted extensive investigations to determine the lateral and vertical extent of the contamination. During 1990, the Company substantially completed its investigation and study and formulated a plan of remediation. The total cost of the investigation was approximately $5.0 million which has been charged to operations in prior periods.
Based upon extensive tests conducted to date, it has not been demonstrated that contaminant levels pose a current public health hazard. The Company has established a program for reducing contaminant concentration levels to acceptable federal and state levels with the assistance of its environmental consultants and under the regulatory guidance of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board.
The Company is continuing to evaluate the effectiveness of its monitoring, extraction and remediation systems. In addition, the Company anticipates drilling additional monitoring and extraction wells in connection with its final remediation plan.
Based upon the extensive tests conducted and advice of environmental consultants, the Company believes that the annual cost of maintaining compliance with environmental standards related to the above matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position or prospects.
