MXOpen
In March 1992 the MXOpen(TM) product line was introduced at the Technical
Association of the Pulp and Paper Institute (TAPPI) trade show in Atlanta,
Georgia. MXOpen is an integrated information and control system that uses
industry-standard computer and communication protocols. The product line was
developed over a three-year period and represents a substantial investment in
research and development, manufacturing and marketing expenses.
In January 1993, at the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association (CPPA) trade
show in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, the Company launched the MXOpen
PrecisionPLUS(TM) intelligent measurement system. PrecisionPLUS features new
distributed sensor intelligence, advanced sensor technology and faster scanning
capabilities. The InfrandPlus moisture sensor uses principles of optical physics
to ensure accurate moisture measurement consistently on every grade.
The MXOpen Integrated Control System provides end-users with a combination
of integration and open architecture. MXOpen features:
[] Modular systems with capability for total machine optimization;
[] Open systems architecture based on international industry standards for
flexibility and expandability; and
[] Integrated information and control with real-time millwide visibility
for management decision-making.
The MXOpen millwide product line includes:
[] Intelligent Sensors and Scanners
[] Distributed Control System
[] Profile Actuation
[] Web Inspection
[] Millwide Information
[] Integrated Machine Monitoring
[] Complete Integrated Control System
The MXOpen Measurement Control System (MCS) was introduced to industrial
system customers in October 1992. For plastics, non-wovens and makers of coated
materials such as flooring and building products, the MCS is an affordable
solution for process improvement - all in a competitive, technologically
advanced control system.
Measurex 2002 ET Systems
Measurex 2002 ET(TM) supervisory systems feature consolidated electronics,
operator stations designed for ease of use with a broad range of graphic
displays, fiber optic communications and proprietary software. A number of
proprietary sensors are offered with these systems to address specific needs of
the individual industries. This system provides specific solutions for the
aluminum foil and sheet producers and tire manufacturers. The CMU (Computer
Management Unit) 2002 ET Configuration is a pre-packaged set of features that
offers a low cost option for small paper machines.
Proprietary Sensors
Measurex provides sensor technology for the process industries, currently
offering more than 70 sensors. Its sensors include those that monitor the basis
weight, moisture, caliper, ash content, coating, smoothness, gloss, formation,
opacity, strength and color of processed paper, as well as the physical
properties of other processed products, such as the wire spacing faults on steel
belted tires. These sensors use a variety of proprietary applications involving
technologies which include microwave, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet,
beta, X-ray and gamma radiation.

<PAGE>
Cross-Direction Controls
Measurex is a leader in the complex technology of cross-direction (CD)
profile control. The center of this business is in the Measurex Devron
Division, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. CD control, as used for
example in the pulp and paper industry, allows precise control of paper
characteristics in small segments across the entire width of the paper sheet.
Cross-direction controls are complementary to the average profile taken along
the paper's direction of travel, referred to as machine direction. The combined
control strategy significantly enhances a customer's ability to achieve optimum
quality levels, thus reducing raw material and energy usage, lowering scrappage
rates and enhancing the customer's competitive position.
Measurex has a variety of CD control products including AutoSlice(TM),
ThermaTrol(TM), AquaTrol(R), Devronizer(TM), InfraTrol(TM), CalTrol(TM),
Calcoil(TM), Calendizer(TM), and GlossTrol(TM) actuators.
CD controls can be ordered with new systems or can be integrated into
existing installed systems. The CDOpen(TM) System allows Measurex's cross-
direction control products to be integrated with non-Measurex measurement
systems.
Millwide Information
Measurex's Management Systems Division (MSD), provides plant level computing
expertise for production processes. The Division's OptiVISION(TM) Full Spectrum
Production and Quality Management System (PQMS) gives Measurex the ability to
offer a system that manages processes from long-term planning and order entry
through scheduling, product tracking, shipping and invoicing the product. The
OptiVISION system provides users with a modular design that reduces development
and installation time.
Integrated Machine Monitoring
The Integrated Monitoring System (IMS), marketed as a part of the MXOpen
product line, consists of digital systems for on-line process and machine
monitoring and analysis of the papermaking process and production machinery.
IMS products provide process and machine-condition diagnosis and trending,
giving papermakers tools to address maintenance problems before failure.
Web Inspection Systems
The Roibox-developed web inspection system analyzes the moving paper web by
measuring the intensity variations of light transmitted through the sheet or
reflected from the sheet. The system uses Charge Coupled Device (CCD) camera
technology to continuously detect - on line - visual defects in paper or other
web-produced material. Like other MXOpen Systems, this web-inspection product
helps customers to produce superior quality products at lower cost, adding
significantly to the basic value of an Integrated Control System.
Strategic Alliances
Beloit Corporation
In 1990, Measurex and Beloit Corporation, agreed to expand and strengthen
their 1987 strategic alliance. This cooperative agreement includes provisions
for integrated marketing and sales of all Measurex paper industry products with
Beloit's full line of pulp and paper machinery. Simultaneously executed was a
seven-year "standstill" agreement between Measurex and Harnischfeger Industries,
Inc., Beloit's parent company. Harnischfeger purchased 20 percent of Measurex's
stock on the open market, the maximum allowed under the agreement.
5
<PAGE>
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.
In 1988, Measurex and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) entered into an
agreement whereby the two companies offered certain products and services to the
pulp and papermaking industry of Asia. In 1991, MHI became a signatory to the
Measurex/Beloit strategic alliance, and a full participant in that agreement.
All Measurex products for the pulp and paper industry are now made available to
MHI on the same basis as they are made to Beloit.
Siemens AG
In June 1993, Siemens AG, pulp and paper division, selected Measurex as its
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for certain MXOpen products. Siemens will
integrate these products with other Siemens products for their total turnkey
pulp and paper automation projects.
Sales and Service
Measurex offers its systems, related products and services principally
through its own worldwide marketing and service organization. This organization
offers customers a broad range of on-site and on-call services including 24-
hour-a-day, 365-days-a-year service contracts.
To support the Company's product line, Measurex has 47 regional sales
offices and service centers which are located in 30 countries throughout the
world. The Company has sold over 4,000 systems in 45 countries, primarily
located in North America, Latin America, Europe and the Pacific Rim.
The sales and service organization consists of regional and area managers
who are responsible for selling Measurex's products and supervising service at
customer sites. Under their supervision are software control and application
engineers who assist customers in making the most efficient use of their
systems, technical service engineers and supervisory personnel who are
responsible for the installation, start-up and routine preventive maintenance of
the systems, as well as any emergency services that may be required.
Customers may acquire Measurex systems either by direct purchase or through
Measurex lease plans. For additional information, see the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements in the Company's 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders.
Research and Product Development
Measurex's systems are the result of the integration of a number of complex
technologies including electronics, physics, mechanical design and software.
Central to the Company's strategic goals is a commitment to research and
development. The Company strongly believes the continued investment in new
product development is key to its long-term success.
Product development costs were $22.9 million in 1993, 9% of total reveneues
and 15% of system revenue. Product development costs were $25.2 million in 1992
and $25.3 million in 1991. Of this total, Measurex capitalized $1.7 million,
$4.6 million, and $2.3 million of software development costs in fiscal 1993,
1992 and 1991, respectively. Measurex amortized $3.4 million, $1.7 million and
$2.8 million of capitalized software to systems costs in 1993, 1992 and 1991,
respectively. The decrease in capitalized software and increase in amortization
in 1993 were attributable to the general release of MXOpen software in late
1992.
6
<PAGE>
Backlog
System backlog at November 28, 1993, was $91 million, 4% lower than the
backlog of $95 million at the end of 1992. Approximately 80% of the $91 million
year-end 1993 backlog is scheduled to be shipped during fiscal 1994.
Patents
Measurex follows a policy of filing appropriate patent applications on
inventions it considers significant. As of November 28, 1993, the Company had
121 United States patents and 270 foreign patents in effect. Although important
to the business, Measurex believes that the invalidity or expiration of any
single such patent would not have a material adverse effect on its operations.
Supply of Materials and Purchased Components
Measurex produces most of the software, sensors, scanners, digital logic
circuits, peripheral devices and various terminals used in its systems. Many
components, such as integrated circuits, video monitors, printers, disks, and
microcomputers are purchased from other manufacturers and integrated into the
systems.
Measurex currently purchases certain components from single sources of
supply. In each instance, components performing similar functions are available
from alternative sources, except for radioactive source material which is
available from only two suppliers. Use of these alternative components might
require a change in the design of certain portions of the system which could
result in production delays, additional expenses and contract cancellations
while changing vendors. The Company has contracts with certain vendors which
entitle, but do not require, Measurex to purchase specific quantities of
components.
Manufacturing
Systems are manufactured at Measurex's facilities in Cupertino, California;
Waterford, Republic of Ireland; and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Measurex Management Systems Division products are configured and tested at
facilities in Cincinnati, Ohio. The facility in Ireland is primarily used to
produce systems for customers in Europe. Web-inspection products are
manufactured by Measurex's Roibox subsidiary in Kuopio, Finland. Certain
subassemblies are manufactured in Cupertino and shipped to Ireland for
incorporation in the final systems. The systems are generally installed at the
customer's site under the supervision of Measurex personnel.
Competition
The market for process measurement and control is highly competitive and is
subject to technological change in both hardware and software development. The
principal competitive factors in this market are product quality and
reliability, product features, customer support, corporate reputation and
relative price/performance. Measurex's competitive strategy is to provide
customers with greater economic results than available from competitors by
focusing on the quality and performance characteristics of systems. However,
any inability of the Company to match or exceed the price/performance or other
features of the systems offered by its competitors could adversely affect future
operating results.
The Company's principal competition is from distributed control systems
suppliers and packaged system suppliers, as well as factory automation system
suppliers. In the supervisory measurement and process control business area,
competition includes ABB Asea Brown Boveri Process Automation Inc.; Lippke, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell; the Valmet Automation Group, a division of
Valmet Oy; and Yokogawa-YEW in Japan. The distributed control system business
area competition includes Honeywell, Fisher, Foxboro (a subsidiary of Siebe,
Inc.), Siemens, and many other companies. In the web-inspection products area,
the Company faces
7
<PAGE>
competition from ABB and other smaller companies. Competition for production
management and process analysis and quality management is very fragmented.
Employees
As of November 28, 1993, Measurex had 2,250 full-time employees, of whom
1,120 were located outside of the United States.
Measurex has various employee benefit plans, including a stock purchase plan
for all United States and Canadian employees, stock option plans for key
employees, a Savings and Deferred Profit Sharing Plan, management incentive
programs, pension plans in certain foreign countries, and health, dental, life
and disability plans.
Nuclear Regulatory Licenses
In the United States, Measurex and its customers are subject to licensing
and regulation by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) under
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (the Act) with respect of those parts of its
products and systems which utilize nuclear radiation. The NRC has transferred a
portion of its licensing and regulatory functions to several state governments,
including California, pursuant to Section 274 of the Act. Measurex holds all
such licenses necessary for its current operations. Licenses are renewed
periodically as required.
Measurex also holds all necessary foreign licenses regarding nuclear
radiation for the applicable countries in which it operates.
United States customers possessing Measurex systems containing radioactive
sources hold the radioactive material under a General or Specific License issued
by their state or federal regulatory authority. Similarly, foreign customers
hold licenses issued by their local authorities for radioactive material in
Measurex systems.
Licenses to Export from the United States
Measurex is subject to licensing and regulation by the United States
Department of Commerce under the Export Administration Act of 1969, as amended
and extended, with respect to Measurex systems or parts thereof, exported from
the United States or by any of its subsidiaries.
Industry Segments
Measurex operates within the computer-integrated control and information
systems industry. All necessary disclosures regarding revenues, earnings from
operations and identifiable assets are included in "Business Segments" under
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 1993 Annual Report
to Shareholders.
Geographic Segments
For information regarding geographic operations in 1993, 1992, and 1991, see
"Business Segments" included in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
in the Company's 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders.
Measurex is subject to the normal risks of foreign currency fluctuations;
however, to the extent practical, Measurex attempts to minimize the exposure
from losses associated with such risks with foreign exchange contracts and other
hedging activities. See Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Foreign
Currency Translation and Foreign Exchange Contracts) and Interest Income and
Other in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's
1993 Annual Report to Shareholders.

are located in a 43,000 square-foot facility in Cincinnati, Ohio. The U.S.
Sales and Service Headquarters are located in a 32,000 square-foot facility in
Atlanta, Georgia. All of these facilities are owned by the Company. Measurex
leases office space for sales and service operations throughout the United
States and various other countries.
The Measurex Devron Division owns two facilities for its offices, research
and manufacturing operations, totaling 94,000 square feet in Vancouver, British
Columbia, Canada. In Waterford, Ireland, the Company owns a 60,000 square-foot
manufacturing facility and leases 20,000 square feet for manufacturing and
storage facilities.
Roibox Oy leases an 11,000 square-foot facility in Kuopio, Finland for
manufacturing, engineering, and sales support.
During 1993, the Company was productively utilizing the space in its
facilities, while disposing of space determined to be under-utilized. The
Company believes current facilities provide adequate production capacity to meet
the Company's planned business activities.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company or any
of its subsidiaries are a party or of which any of their property is the
subject, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business.
Management believes that the final outcome of such matters will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position and
results of operations.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
The Company has not submitted any matters to a vote of security holders
during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended November 28, 1993.

Our report on the consolidated financial statements of Measurex Corporation and
Subsidiaries as of November 28, 1993 and November 29, 1992 and for each of the
three fiscal years in the period ended November 28, 1993, has been incorporated
by reference in this Form 10-K from page 30 of Measurex Corporation's 1993

SPECIAL ACCELERATION GRANT
--------------------------
MEASUREX CORPORATION
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
----------------------
WITNESSETH:
----------
RECITALS
- --------
A. The Corporation's Board of Directors (the "Board") has adopted the
Corporation's 1993 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") for the purpose of attracting
and retaining the services of key employees (including officers and directors),
non-employee Board members and consultants and other independent advisors.
B. Optionee is an individual who is to render valuable services to
the Corporation or one or more parent or subsidiary corporations, and this
Agreement is executed pursuant to, and is intended to carry out the purposes of,
the Plan in connection with the Corporation's grant of a stock option to
Optionee.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:
1. Grant of Option. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set
---------------
forth in this Agreement, the Corporation hereby grants to Optionee, as of the
grant date (the "Grant Date") specified in the accompanying Notice of Grant of
Stock Option (the "Grant Notice"), a stock option to purchase up to that number
of shares of the Corporation's Common Stock (the "Option Shares") as is
specified in the Grant Notice. Such Option Shares shall be purchasable from
time to time during the option term at the option price (the "Option Price")
specified in the Grant Notice.
2. Option Term. This option shall expire at the close of business on
-----------
the expiration date (the "Expiration Date") specified in the Grant Notice,
unless sooner terminated in accordance with Paragraph 5 or 6.
3. Limited Transferability. This option shall be exercisable only by
-----------------------
Optionee during Optionee's lifetime and shall not be transferable or assignable
by Optionee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution
following Optionee's death.
4. Dates of Exercise. This option shall become exercisable for the
-----------------
Option Shares in a series of successive annual installments as specified in the
Grant Notice. As the option becomes exercisable for one or more installments,
those installments shall accumulate, and the option shall remain
45
<PAGE>
exercisable for the accumulated installments until the Expiration Date or sooner
termination of the option term under Paragraph 5 or Paragraph 6 of this
Agreement. In the event Optionee should cease to be an Employee of the
Corporation by reason of retirement at or after age 65, this option shall
thereupon become immediately exercisable for all of the Optioned Shares provided
such cessation of Employee status occurs more than one year after the Grant
Date. The option as so accelerated shall remain exercisable until the earlier
of (i) the sooner termination of option term under Paragraph 5 or 6. Except as
noted herein above, in no event shall this option become exercisable for any
additional Option Shares following Optionee's cessation of Service.
5. Cessation of Service. The option term specified in Paragraph 2
--------------------
shall terminate (and this option shall cease to be outstanding) prior to the
Expiration Date in accordance with the following provisions:
(i) This option shall immediately terminate and cease to be
outstanding for any Option Shares for which it is not exercisable at the
time of Optionee's cessation of Service.
(ii) Should Optionee cease Service for any reason other than death or
permanent disability while this option remains outstanding, then Optionee
shall have a three (3)-month period measured from the date of such
cessation of Service in which to exercise this option for any or all of the
Option Shares for which this option is exercisable at the time of such
cessation of Service. In no event, however, may this option be exercised
at any time after the specified Expiration Date of the option term. Upon
the expiration of such three (3)-month period or (if earlier) upon the
specified Expiration Date of the option term, this option shall terminate
and cease to be outstanding.
(iii) Should Optionee die while in Service or within the three (3)-
month period following his or her cessation of Service, then the personal
representative of Optionee's estate or the person or persons to whom this
option is transferred pursuant to Optionee's will or in accordance with the
laws of descent and distribution shall have the right to exercise the
option for any or all of the Option Shares for which this option is
exercisable at the time of Optionee's cessation of Service, less any Option
Shares subsequently purchased by Optionee prior to death. Such right shall
lapse, and this option shall terminate and cease to remain
46
<PAGE>
outstanding, upon the earlier of (A) the expiration of the twelve (12)-
-------
month period measured from the date of Optionee's death or (B) the
Expiration Date.
(iv) Should Optionee become permanently disabled and cease by reason
thereof to remain in Service at any time during the option term, then
Optionee shall have a twelve (12) month period commencing with the date of
such cessation of Service in which to exercise this option for any or all
of the Option Shares for which this option is exercisable at the time of
such cessation of Service. In no event, however, may this option be
exercised at any time after the specified Expiration Date of the option
term. Upon the expiration of such limited period of exercisability or (if
earlier) upon the Expiration Date, this option shall terminate and cease to
be outstanding.
(v) Should (A) Optionee's Service be terminated for misconduct
(including, but not limited to, any act of dishonesty, willful misconduct,
fraud or embezzlement) or (B) Optionee make any unauthorized use or
disclosure of confidential information or trade secrets of the Corporation
or any parent or subsidiary, then in any such event this option shall
terminate immediately and cease to be outstanding.
(vi) During the limited post-Service period of exercisability
determined pursuant to subparagraphs (ii) through (iv) above, this option
may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of Option
Shares (if any) for which this option is, at the time of the Optionee's
cessation of Service, exercisable in accordance with either the normal
exercise provisions specified in the Grant Notice or the special
acceleration provisions of Paragraph 6 of this Agreement.
(vii) For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitional
provisions shall be in effect:
A. Optionee shall be deemed to remain in Service for so long as such
individual renders services on a periodic basis to the Corporation (or any
parent or subsidiary) in the capacity of an Employee, a nonemployee member
of the board of directors or an independent consultant or advisor.
B. Optionee shall be considered to be an Employee for so long as
such individual remains in the
47
<PAGE>
employ of the Corporation or any parent or subsidiary, subject to the
control and direction of the employer entity not only as to the work to be
performed but also as to the manner and method of performance.
C. Optionee shall be deemed to be permanently disabled and to have
incurred a permanent disability if Optionee is unable to engage in any
substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically-determinable
physical or mental impairment expected to result in death or to be of
continuous duration of not less than twelve (12) months,
D. A corporation shall be considered to be a subsidiary of the
Corporation if it is a member of an unbroken chain of corporations
beginning with the Corporation, provided each such corporation in the chain
(other than the last corporation) owns, at the time of determination, stock
possessing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total combined voting power
of all classes of stock in one of the other corporations in such chain.
E. A corporation shall be considered to be a parent of the
Corporation if it is a member of an unbroken chain ending with the
Corporation, provided each such corporation in the chain (other than the
Corporation) owns, at the time of determination, stock possessing fifty
percent (50%) or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of
stock in one of the other corporations in such chain.
6. Corporate Transaction.
---------------------
A. In the event of any of the following stockholder-approved
transactions to which the Corporation is a party (a "Corporate Transaction"):
(i) a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is not the
surviving entity, except for a transaction the principal purpose of which
is to change the State in which the Corporation is incorporated,
(ii) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Corporation in complete liquidation or dissolution
of the Corporation, or
(iii) any reverse merger in which the Corporation is the surviving
entity but in which
48
<PAGE>
securities possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined
voting power of the Corporation's outstanding securities are transferred to
a person or persons different from those who held such securities
immediately prior to such merger,
this option, to the extent outstanding at such time but not otherwise
fully exercisable, shall automatically accelerate so that such option shall,
immediately prior to the specified effective date for the Corporate Transaction,
become fully exercisable for all the Option Shares at the time subject to such
option and may be exercised for all or any portion of such shares. No such
acceleration of this option, however, shall occur if and to the extent: (i) this
option is, in connection with the Corporate Transaction, either to be assumed by
the successor corporation or parent thereof or replaced with a comparable option
(as determined in the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator) to purchase
shares of the capital stock of the successor corporation or parent thereof or
(ii) such option is to be replaced with a cash incentive program of the
successor corporation which preserves the option spread existing at the time of
the Corporate Transaction (the excess of the fair market value of the Option
Shares at the time subject to this option over the aggregate Option Price
payable for such shares) and provides for subsequent pay-out in accordance with
the same vesting schedule in effect for the option pursuant to the option
exercise schedule set forth in the Grant Notice or (iii) the acceleration of
this option would, when added to the present value of certain other payments in
the nature of compensation which become due and payable to Optionee in
connection with the Corporate Transaction, result in the payment to Optionee of
an excess parachute payment under Section 280G(b) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended. The determination of any such excess parachute payment
under clause (iii) shall be made by the Plan Administrator in accordance with
the guidelines set forth in Attachment A, and such determination shall be final,
binding and conclusive.
B. The exercisability of this option as an incentive stock option
under the Federal tax laws (if designated as such in the Grant Notice) shall, in
connection with any such Corporate Transaction, be subject to the applicable
dollar limitation of Paragraph 17.
C. This option, to the extent not previously exercised, shall
terminate upon the consummation of such Corporate Transaction and cease to be
outstanding, unless it is expressly assumed by the successor corporation or
parent thereof.
49
<PAGE>
D. This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the
Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise make changes in its
capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or
sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
7. Adjustment in Option Shares.
---------------------------
A. In the event any change is made to the Common Stock issuable
under the Plan by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the
outstanding Common Stock as a class effected without the Corporation's receipt
of consideration, the Plan Administrator shall make appropriate adjustments to
(i) the number and/or class of securities subject to this option and (ii) the
Option Price payable per share in order to prevent any dilution or enlargement
of benefits hereunder. Such adjustments shall be final, binding and conclusive.
B. If this option is to be assumed in connection with any
Corporate Transaction under Paragraph 6 or is otherwise to continue outstanding,
then this option shall, immediately after such Corporate Transaction, be
appropriately adjusted to apply and pertain to the number and class of
securities which would have been issued to Optionee in the consummation of such
Corporate Trans-action had the option been exercised immediately prior to such
Corporate Transaction. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Option
Price payable per share, provided the aggregate Option Price payable hereunder
--------
shall remain the same.
8. Privilege of Stock Ownership. The holder of this option shall
----------------------------
not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Option Shares
until such individual shall have exercised the option and paid the Option Price
for the purchased Option Shares.
9. Manner of Exercising Option.
---------------------------
A. In order to exercise this option with respect to all or any
part of the Option Shares for which this option is at the time exercisable,
Optionee (or in the case of exercise after Optionee's death, Optionee's
executor, administrator, heir or legatee, as the case may be) must take the
following actions:
(i) Deliver to the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation an
executed notice of exercise (the "Exercise Notice") in a form satisfactory
to the Corpor-ation, in which there is specified the number of Option
50
<PAGE>
Shares which are to be purchased under the exercised option.
(ii) Pay the aggregate Option Price for the purchased shares through
one or more of the following alternatives:
- full payment in cash or by check payable to the Corporation's
order;
- full payment in shares of Common Stock held for the requisite
period necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation's earnings for
financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the
Exercise Date (as such term is defined below);
- full payment in a combination of shares of Common Stock held for
the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation's
reported earnings and valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date and
cash or check payable to the Corporation's order; or
- full payment effected through a broker-dealer sale and remittance
procedure pursuant to which Optionee (I) shall provide irrevocable written
instructions to a designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of
the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds
available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate
Option Price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable Federal,
State and local income taxes and employment taxes required to be withheld
in connection with such purchase and (II) shall provide written directives
to the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares
directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale transaction.
(iii) Furnish to the Corporation appropriate documentation that the
person or persons exercising the option (if other than Optionee) have the
right to exercise this option.
B. For purposes of this Agreement, the Exercise Date shall be the
date on which the executed Exercise Notice shall have been delivered to the
Corporation. Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure specified
above is utilized in connection with the option exercise, payment of the Option
Price for the purchased shares must accompany such Exercise Notice. For all
valuation purposes under this Agreement, the Fair Market Value per
51
<PAGE>
share of Common Stock on any relevant date shall be the closing selling price
per share of Common Stock on the date in question on the New York Stock
Exchange, as such price is officially quoted in the composite tape of
transactions on such exchange. If there is no such reported price on the date
in question, then the Fair Market Value shall be the closing selling price on
such exchange on the last preceding date for which such quotation exists.
C. As soon as practical after receipt of the Exercise Notice, the
Corporation shall mail or deliver to or on behalf of Optionee (or any other
person or persons exercising this option in accordance herewith) a certificate
or certificates representing the purchased Option Shares.
D. In no event may this option be exercised for any fractional
shares.
10. Governing Law. The interpretation, performance, and
-------------
enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
California without resort to that State's conflict-of-laws rules.
11. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The exercise of this
------------------------------------
option and the issuance of Option Shares upon such exercise shall be subject to
compliance by the Corporation and Optionee with all applicable requirements of
law relating thereto and with all applicable regulations of any stock exchange
on which shares of the Corporation's Common Stock may be listed at the time of
such exercise and issuance.
12. Successors and Assigns. Except to the extent otherwise
----------------------
provided in Paragraph 3 or 6, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to
the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, administrators, heirs and
legal representatives of Optionee and the successors and assigns of the
Corporation.
13. Liability of Corporation.
------------------------
A. If the Option Shares covered by this Agreement exceed, as of
the Grant Date, the number of shares which may without stockholder approval be
issued under the Plan, then this option shall be void with respect to such
excess shares unless stockholder approval of an amendment sufficiently
increasing the number of shares issuable under the Plan is obtained in
accordance with the provisions of Section II of Article Five of the Plan.
B. The inability of the Corporation to obtain approval from any
regulatory body having authority deemed by the Corporation to be necessary to
the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Stock
52
<PAGE>
pursuant to this option shall relieve the Corporation of any liability with
respect to the non-issuance or sale of the Common Stock as to which such
approval shall not have been obtained. The Corporation however, shall use its
best efforts to obtain all such approvals.
14. No Employment/Service Contract. Nothing in this Agreement or
------------------------------
in the Plan shall confer upon Optionee any right to continue in the Service of
the Corporation (or any parent or subsidiary employing or retaining Optionee)
for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in
any way the rights of the Corporation (or any such parent or subsidiary) or
Optionee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each party, to terminate
Optionee's Service at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause.
15. Notices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the
-------
Corporation under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed
to the Corporation in care of its Chief Financial Officer at the corporate
offices at One Results Way, Cupertino, California 95014. Any notice required to
be given or delivered to Optionee shall be in writing and addressed to Optionee
at the address indicated on the Grant Notice. All notices shall be deemed to
have been given or delivered upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the U.S.
mail, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to
the party to be notified.
16. Construction. This Agreement and the option evidenced hereby
------------
are made and granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and
subject to the express terms and provisions of the Plan. All decisions of the
Plan Administrator with respect to any question or issue arising under the Plan
or this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on all persons having an
interest in this option.
17. Additional Terms Applicable to an Incentive Stock Option. In
---------------------------------------------------------
the event this option is designated an incentive stock option in the Grant
Notice, the following terms and conditions shall also apply to the grant:
A. This option shall cease to qualify for favorable tax treatment
as an incentive stock option under the Federal tax laws if (and to the extent)
this option is exercised for one or more Option Shares: (i) more than three (3)
months after the date Optionee ceases to be an Employee for any reason other
than death or permanent disability (as defined in Paragraph 5) or (ii) more than
one (1) year after the date Optionee ceases to be an Employee by reason of
permanent disability.
53
<PAGE>
B. If this option is to become exercisable in a series of
installments as indicated in the Grant Notice, no such installment shall qualify
for favorable tax treatment as an incentive stock option under the Federal tax
laws if (and to the extent) the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the
Grant Date) of the Corporation's Common Stock for which such installment first
becomes exercisable hereunder will, when added to the aggregate fair market
value (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) of the Common
Stock or other securities for which this option or one or more other incentive
stock options granted to Optionee prior to the Grant Date (whether under the
Plan or any other option plan of the Corporation or any parent or subsidiary)
first become exercisable during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. Should the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this option first becomes exercisable in any calendar
year exceed the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation,
the option may nevertheless be exercised for those excess shares in such
calendar year as a non-statutory option.
C. Should the exercisability of this option be accelerated upon a
Corporate Transaction in accordance with Paragraph 6, then this option shall
qualify for favorable tax treatment as an incentive stock option under the
Federal tax laws only to the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined
at the Grant Date) of the Corporation's Common Stock for which this option first
becomes exercisable in the calendar year in which the Corporate Transaction
occurs does not, when added to the aggregate fair market value (determined as of
the respective date or dates of grant) of the Common Stock or other securities
for which this option or one or more other incentive stock options granted to
Optionee prior to the Grant Date (whether under the Plan or any other option
plan of the Corporation or any parent or subsidiary) first become exercisable
during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in
the aggregate. Should the number of shares of Common Stock for which this
option first becomes exercisable in the calendar year of such Corporate
Transaction exceed the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000)
limitation, the option may nevertheless be exercised for the excess shares in
such calendar year as a non-statutory option.
D. Should the Optionee hold, in addition to this option, one or
more other options to purchase Common Stock which become exercisable for the
first time in the same calendar year as this option, then the foregoing
limitations on the exercisability of such options as incentive stock options
under the Federal tax laws shall be applied on the basis of the order in which
such options are granted.
54
<PAGE>
E. To the extent this option should fail to qualify as an incentive
stock option under the Federal tax laws, Optionee will recognize compensation
income in connection with the acquisition of one or more Option Shares
hereunder, and Optionee must make appropriate arrangements for the satisfaction
of all Federal, State or local income and employment tax withholding
requirements applicable to such compensation income.
18. Additional Terms Applicable to a Non-Statutory Stock Option.
-----------------------------------------------------------
In the event this option is designated a non-statutory stock option in the Grant
Notice, Optionee shall make appropriate arrangements with the Corporation or any
parent or subsidiary employing Optionee for the satisfaction of all Federal,
State or local income tax and employment tax withholding requirements applicable
to the exercise of this option.

ATTACHMENT A
TO
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
----------------------
For purposes of determining whether the acceleration of this option
pursuant to Paragraph 6.A will result in an excess parachute payment under
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the
procedures specified below shall be utilized by the Plan Administrator:
1. Definitions.
-----------
The following definitional provisions are to be utilized in making all
determinations and calculations with respect to any parachute payments to which
Optionee may be entitled in connection with a Corporate Transaction:
Actual Average Compensation means Optionee's average W-2 wages from
---------------------------
the Corporation for the five (5) calendar years (or such fewer number of actual
calendar years of Employee status) completed immediately prior to the calendar
year in which the Corporate Transaction is effected. Any W-2 wages for a
partial year of Employee status will be annualized, in accordance with the
frequency with which such wages are paid during such partial year, before
inclusion within Actual Average Compensation. Should Optionee commence Employee
status in the calendar year in which the Corporate Transaction is effected, then
his or her Actual Average Compensation will be equal in amount to the rate of
base salary in effect for Optionee for that year plus all other items of
compensation received from the Corporation and includible in his or her W-2
wages for such year. If any of Optionee's compensation from the Corporation
during such five (5)-year or shorter period was not included in his or her W-2
wages for U.S. income tax purposes, either because Optionee was not a U.S.
citizen or resident or because such compensation was excludible from income as
foreign earned income under Section 911 of the Code, then such compensation
shall nevertheless be included in the Actual Average Compensation of such
Optionee to the same extent as if it were part of his or her W-2 wages.
Ascertainable Option Value means, with respect to any Option (or
--------------------------
installment thereof) which is to accelerate upon the Corporate Transaction, the
ascertainable fair market value of such Option at the time of acceleration. The
following factors are to be taken into account in determining such Ascertainable
Option Value:
56
<PAGE>
(i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value of the Corporation's
Common Stock subject to such Option on the date of acceleration over (B)
the exercise price per share of Common Stock payable under the accelerated
Option (or installment),
(ii) the probability of the value of the shares of Common Stock
increasing or decreasing, and
(iii) the period of time for which the accelerated Option is to
remain exercisable.
Fair Market Value means, with respect to any shares of Common Stock
-----------------
subject to any accelerated Option, the closing selling price per share of Common
Stock on the date in question on the New York Stock Exchange, as such price is
officially quoted in the composite tape of transactions on such exchange. If
there is no such reported price on the date in question, then the Fair Market
Value shall be the closing selling price on such exchange on the last preceding
date for which such quotation exists.
Option means any option held by Optionee under the Corporation's 1993
------
Stock Option Plan (the "1993 Plan") or the Corporation's predecessor 1981 Stock
Option Plan (the "1981 Plan") and outstanding at the time of the Corporate
Transaction. Such Options are to be divided into two separate categories as
follows:
(i) Restricted Options: the Option evidenced by this Stock
------------------
Option Agreement and any other Option the acceleration of which is limited,
pursuant to the express provisions of the instrument evidencing the grant,
to an amount which will not result in an excess parachute payment under
Section 280G of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder.
(ii) Unrestricted Options: any Option the acceleration of which
--------------------
is not subject to any limitations under the instrument of grant which are
designed to avoid an excess parachute payment under Section 280G and the
Treasury Regulations issued thereunder.
Option Parachute Payment means, with respect to each Option (or
------------------------
installment thereof) which is accelerated under either the 1993 Plan or the 1981
Plan upon the Corporate Transaction, that portion of the Ascertainable Option
Value thereof which is deemed to be a parachute payment under Section 280G of
the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder. Such portion shall be
equal to the sum of (I) the excess of the Ascertainable Option Value (as of the
date of such acceleration) of each accelerated
57
<PAGE>
installment over the Present Value of that same dollar amount were payment
deferred until the time such installment would have otherwise vested in the
absence of such acceleration plus (II) an appropriate dollar adjustment to
reflect the lapse of Optionee's obligation to remain in Employee status as a
condition to the vesting of the accelerated installment. In no event, however,
shall the Option Parachute Payment attributable to any accelerated Option (or
installment thereof) exceed the Ascertainable Option Value thereof at the time
of acceleration.
Other Parachute Payments means any payments in the nature of
------------------------
compensation (other than the acceleration of the Options under the Plan) to
which Optionee may become entitled in connection with the Corporate Transaction,
whether payable at that time or upon Optionee's subsequent termination of
Employee status, and which accordingly qualify as parachute payments within the
meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued
thereunder.
Present Value means the value, determined as of the effective date of
-------------
the Corporate Transaction, of any payment in the nature of compensation which
Optionee becomes entitled to receive from the Corporation in connection
therewith, including (without limitation) the Option Parachute Payment
attributable to the Option evidenced by this Stock Option Agreement and the
aggregate Option Parachute Payment attributable to all other Options of Optionee
which accelerate upon the Corporate Transaction. The Present Value of any such
payment which is not otherwise due and payable at the time of the Corporate
Transaction shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section
280G(d)(4) of the Code, utilizing a discount rate equal to one hundred twenty
percent (120%) of the applicable Federal rate in effect at the time of such
determination, compounded semi-annually to the effective date of the Corporate
Transaction.
Severance Payment means the lump-sum cash payment to which Optionee
-----------------
may become entitled, pursuant to separate letter agreement with the Corporation,
upon the involuntary termination of his or her Employee status within eighteen
(18) months following certain changes in control of the Corporation effected
without the approval of the Corporation's Board of Directors.
2. Limitation on Option Acceleration.
---------------------------------
(a) The extent to which the Option evidenced by this Stock Option
Agreement and all other Restricted Options are to accelerate upon the Corporate
Transaction shall be determined as follows:
58
<PAGE>
First, there is to be determined the Option Parachute Payment
-----
attributable to each Unrestricted Option (or installment thereof) which
accelerates upon the Corporate Transaction,
Then, there is to be determined the Option Parachute Payment
----
attributable to each Restricted Option (or installment thereof) which is
subject to acceleration upon the Corporate Transaction.
To the extent the aggregate Option Parachute Payment calculated
for the Unrestricted Options does not exceed 2.99 times Optionee's Actual
Average Compensation, then the Restricted Options shall be accelerated until
the Option Parachute Payments attributable to such Restricted Options, when
added to the aggregate Option Parachute Payment attributable to the
Unrestricted Options, equal 2.99 times Optionee's Actual Average Compensation.
(b) If the aggregate Option Parachute Payment attributable to the
Restricted Options which would otherwise accelerate upon the Corporate
Transaction would, when added to the aggregate Option Parachute Payment
attributable to the accelerated Unrestricted Options, exceed 2.99 times
Optionee's Actual Average Compensation, then the Restricted Options will be
accelerated in the order of Ascertainable Option Value, with the Restricted
Options with the highest Ascertainable Option Value to be the first to be
accelerated, until the aggregate Option Parachute Payment attributable to the
Restricted Options (or installments thereof) so accelerated equals the
difference between (i) 2.99 times Optionee's Actual Average Compensation and
(ii) the aggregate Option Parachute Payment attributable to the Unrestricted
Options.
(c) Accordingly, except as otherwise provided under subparagraph (e)
below, neither the Option evidenced by this Stock Option Agreement nor any other
Restricted Option is to accelerate upon the Corporate Transaction if and to the
extent the Option Parachute Payments attributable to the installments thereof
which would otherwise accelerate upon such Corporate Transaction would, when
added to the Option Parachute Payments attributable to the Unrestricted Options
which accelerate upon such Corporate Transaction, exceed in amount 2.99 times
Optionee's Actual Average Compensation.
(d) In the event there is any dispute with Optionee as to whether one
or more payments to which Optionee may become entitled in connection with the
Corporate Transaction constitute Option Parachute Payments or Other Parachute
Payments, such dispute shall be resolved as follows:
59
<PAGE>
(i) In the event temporary, proposed or final Treasury
Regulations in effect at the time under Section 280G of the Code (or
applicable judicial decisions) specifically address the status of any such
payment or the method of valuation therefor, the characterization afforded
to such payment by the Regulations (or such decisions) shall, together with
the applicable valuation methodology, be controlling.
(ii) In the event the Regulations (or applicable judicial
decisions) do not address the status of any payment in dispute, the matter
shall be submitted for resolution to independent counsel mutually
acceptable to the Corporation and Optionee ("Independent Counsel"). The
resolution reached by Independent Counsel shall be final and controlling;
provided, however, that if in the judgment of Independent Counsel the
--------
status of the payment in dispute can be resolved through the obtainment of
a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, a formal and
proper request for such ruling shall be prepared and submitted by
Independent Counsel, and the determination made by the Internal Revenue
Service in the issued ruling shall be controlling. All expenses incurred
in connection with the retention of Independent Counsel and (if applicable)
the preparation and submission of the ruling request shall be shared
equally by the Corporation and Optionee.
(iii) In the event the Regulations (or applicable judicial
decisions) do not address the appropriate valuation methodology for any
payment in dispute, the value thereof shall, at the Independent Counsel's
election, be determined through an independent third-party appraisal, and
the expenses incurred in obtaining such appraisal shall be shared equally
by the Corporation and Optionee.
(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in the
preceding subparagraphs, the aggregate Option Parachute Payment attributable to
the Options accelerated upon the Corporate Transaction shall not be reduced
below that amount (if any) which, when added to the Present Value of all the
Other Parachute Payments to which Optionee becomes entitled in connection with
such Corporate Transaction, would nevertheless qualify as reasonable
compensation within the standards established under Section 280G(b)(4) of the
Code.
60
<PAGE>
(f) Optionee shall not be entitled to any Severance Payment in the
event that the aggregate Option Parachute Payment attributable to all Restricted
and Unrestricted Options which accelerate upon the Corporate Transaction equals
or exceeds 2.99 times Optionee's Actual Average Compensation.
(g) These guidelines shall in all events be interpreted in such
manner as shall avoid the imposition of excise taxes under Section 4999 of the
Code and the disallowance of deductions under Section 280G(a) of the Code with
respect to the acceleration of Optionee's Restricted Options in connection with
the Corporate Transaction.
3. Conditional Exercises.
---------------------
(a) Notwithstanding the existence of one or more payments in dispute
under Paragraph 2(d) above, Optionee shall be permitted to exercise the
Restricted Option evidenced by this Stock Option Agreement or any other
Restricted Option at any time prior to the expiration or sooner termination of
the option term; provided any and all shares of the Common Stock purchased under
--------
such Restricted Options shall, together with the exercise price paid for such
shares, be held in escrow by the Corporation. To the extent such purchased
shares are held in escrow, Optionee shall have the right to (i) direct the sale
of such shares, provided the sale proceeds are immediately deposited in escrow,
(ii) exercise all voting rights with respect to such shares and (iii) receive
dividends declared on such shares, provided such dividends are immediately
deposited in escrow.
(b) Once the requisite determinations under Paragraph 2(d) have been
made, then to the extent the aggregate Option Parachute Payment attributable to
the Restricted Options which would otherwise accelerate upon the Corporate
Transaction would, when added to the aggregate Option Parachute Payment
attributable to the accelerated Unrestricted Options, exceed 2.99 times
Optionee's Actual Average Compensation or other applicable limitation under
Paragraph 2(e) above, such acceleration shall be precluded through the
disposition of one or more Restricted Options as follows:
First, any outstanding Restricted Options shall immediately
-----
terminate and cease to be exercisable. If there is more than one such
Option outstanding, then the termination of such Options shall occur in the
following order: the Restricted Options with the lowest Ascertainable
Option Value shall be the first to terminate.
61
<PAGE>
Then, to the extent one or more of the Restricted Options (or
----
installments thereof) shall have been exercised pursuant to the provisions
of subparagraph (a) above, such exercises shall be rescinded (with the
Restricted Options with the lowest Ascertainable Option Value to be the
first to be rescinded) by refunding to Optionee the exercise price paid for
the purchased shares and returning those shares (plus any cash dividends
paid thereon) to the Corporation. To the extent the shares purchased under
such Options (or accelerated installments thereof) shall have been sold
while held in escrow, the sale proceeds attributable to those shares shall
be allocated as follows: first an amount not to exceed the exercise price
paid for such shares shall be refunded to Optionee, and then the balance of
the proceeds (together with any cash dividends paid on those shares) shall
be returned to the Corporation.
(c) To the extent any shares or cash proceeds remain in the escrow
account under subparagraph (a) above after the reductions specified in
subparagraph (b) have been made, those shares or proceeds shall be promptly
distributed to Optionee.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Measurex continues to maintain a strong financial position with cash and cash
equivalents, marketable securities and short-term investments of $111 million as
of the fiscal 1993 year-end. The Company believes that its existing cash
balances and lines of credit, together with cash provided by operations, will
provide adequate flexibility to fund financial requirements, including capital
expenditures, and cash dividends through fiscal year 1994.
Net cash generated by operations during 1993 totaled $2.3 million. Net income
adjusted for noncash items was $23.9 million, up from $10.7 million in 1992.
Offsetting the cash generated, accounts and contracts receivable increased by
$7.4 million, and accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased $12.3 million
from year-end 1992. Increased levels of accounts and contracts receivables were
largely attributable to higher leasing activity. Contracts receivable from two
major customers amounted to approximately $11.3 million at year-end 1993.
Inventories, net of reserves, increased from fiscal year-end 1992 due to the
acquisition of Roibox Oy. Service parts decreased due to a reduction of field
inventory resulting from improved cycle times. Accrued expenses decreased
significantly due in part to payments made for severance costs and other
expenses related to a worldwide reduction of the Company's work force, which
were accrued in 1992. In the fourth quarter of 1992, the Company took a pretax
charge of $9 million to cover restructuring costs.
Excluding marketable securities and short-term investments, net cash used for
investing activities totaled $11.8 million in 1993 compared to $6.5 million in
1992. In April 1993, the Company acquired Roibox Oy for approximately $1.7
million, net of cash acquired. Located in Kuopio, Finland, Roibox is a
worldwide supplier of web-inspection and other quality inspection products for
the paper industry. Roibox operates as a separate subsidiary of Measurex, with
manufacturing, engineering, product marketing and sales support. In August
1991, the Company acquired Devron-Hercules, Inc. for a cash payment of $21.9
million. Capitalized software decreased $2.9 million from 1992 as a result of
the general release of MXOpen software to customers. 1992 cash receipts
included proceeds from the sale of all rights to the PlantWorks software package
and other assets of its subsidiary, Measurex Automation Systems, as well as the
proceeds received in connection with the sale of the Cork facility in Ireland.
No major facilities expansions are planned for 1994.
Cash provided by financing activities during 1993 was $8.7 million. In May
1993, the Company borrowed $20.0 million pursuant to a five-year fixed-rate term
loan agreement with a bank. Proceeds from the loan were used principally to
support the Company's United States equipment lease portfolio and provide a
hedge against interest rate fluctuations. Borrowings under the loan agreement
are unsecured. The loan agreement contains certain restrictive covenants which
include the maintenance of minimum tangible net worth and certain financial
ratios. The Company was in compliance with all the covenants at year-end 1993.
In 1993, the Company paid dividends of $7.9 million and repurchased common stock
for $5.2 million. The repurchased shares will be used for issuance under the
Company's employee stock purchase and stock option plans.
As a result of the above operating, investing and financing activities and
giving effect to exchange rate fluctuations, the Company's cash and cash
equivalents increased slightly from $74.4 million in 1992 to $76.0 million in
1993 while marketable securities and short-term investments decreased $4.8
million to $35.4 million. The Company's
64
<PAGE>
current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) was 2.8 at the end
of 1993 compared to 2.6 at the end of the prior year. Total debt increased to
10% of shareholders' equity at the end of 1993, compared to less than 1% a year
ago, due to the $20.0 million loan described above.
As of November 28, 1993, the Company's principal sources of liquidity included
cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and short-term investments of $111
million and unsecured bank lines of credit of $25.0 million, expiring in 1994,
of which $8.3 million was committed to letters of credit.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's 1993 system revenue increased slightly from 1992 and 1991. During
this past year, the Company has closely controlled expenses and reduced the
total number of employees by approximately 3%. At the same time, the Company
invested 15% of system revenue in product development to ensure it continues to
have a strong product offering.
System orders for 1993 were $151 million, a decrease of $5 million (3%) from
$156 million in 1992, and an increase of $24 million (19%) from $127 million in
1991. In 1993, orders in Canada and Japan increased while Southern Hemisphere
and European orders were lower than the prior year. In 1992, orders increased
in the United States, Asia and Latin America while in Europe orders decreased.
Worldwide Pulp and Paper orders were $127 million in 1993, a decrease of $2
million (2%) from orders in 1992 and an increase of $31 million (32%) from 1991.
In 1993, pulp and paper orders in the United States increased 2% to $44 million
from $43 million in 1992 and 67% from $26 million in 1991, reflecting a strong
market share and paper companies' focus on upgrade and replacement of existing
systems. Industrial Systems orders were $24 million, a decrease of $3 million
(11%) from 1992 and a decline of $7 million (23%) from 1991. The Company
believes that its market share and competitive position continue to be strong.
System backlog at the end of fiscal 1993 was $91 million, down 4% from the
backlog of $95 million at the end of 1992. Approximately 80% of the $91 million
year-end 1993 backlog is scheduled to be shipped during fiscal 1994. The
reduction in European and Latin American backlog in 1993 was offset by higher
Asian backlog.
System revenue was $152.8 million in 1993, a $4.4 million (3%) increase from
$148.4 million in 1992, and a $4.6 million (3%) increase from $148.2 million in
1991. Increased shipment of cross-direction control systems from the Measurex
Devron Division has been the principal factor in revenue growth. Operating
results from this Division are included in the Company's 1991 fourth quarter and
the full years in 1992 and 1993. However, overall sales growth continued to be
restrained by a depressed market in the paper industry and ongoing price
competition. Service and other revenues of $101.2 million declined $3 million
(3%) from $104.2 million in 1992, and decreased $4.5 million (4%) from $105.7
million in 1991. The decline in service revenue is due to changes in foreign
currency exchange rates.
Margins on systems revenue were 35% in fiscal 1993 compared to 33% and 37% in
1992 and 1991, respectively. The system margin improvement in 1993 was related
to lower spending at the Company's Irish manufacturing facility and more
efficient use of existing capacity at Measurex's Devron Division. However, the
Company has been experiencing project overruns on systems produced by its
Management Systems Division, which negatively impacted system margins. Compared
to 1991, gross margins in 1992 declined as a result of high sales discount
levels, low margins on custom integration services, and to a lesser extent,
higher receivable reserves.
65
<PAGE>
Service and other margins were 36% in 1993 compared to 35% in 1992, and 32% in
1991. The improvement in service margins in 1993 reflected ongoing cost
controls. The increase in margins in 1992 compared to 1991 was due to reduced
costs as a result of restructuring actions at the end of 1991.
Product development costs were $22.9 million in 1993, down from $25.2 million in
1992 and $25.3 million in 1991. Of this total, Measurex capitalized $1.7
million, $4.6 million, and $2.3 million of software development costs in fiscal
1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. Measurex amortized $3.4 million, $1.7
million and $2.8 million of capitalized software to systems costs in 1993, 1992
and 1991, respectively. The decrease in capitalized software and increase in
amortization in 1993 were attributable to the general release of MXOpen software
discussed previously. To maintain its competitive position in the industry, the
Company expects to continue to invest a significant amount of its resources in
new product development, enhancements to existing products and software
development. The Company strongly believes the continued investment in new
product development is critical to its long-term success.
Selling and administrative expenses were $61.1 million in 1993, a $2.6 million
(4%) decrease from $63.7 million in 1992 and a $0.5 million (1%) decrease from
$61.6 million in 1991. This decrease reflects the Company's continued progress
in its ongoing efforts to manage expense growth relative to revenue growth. The
lower selling and administrative expenses in 1993 compared to 1992 were in part
due to reduced spending and a $0.8 million insurance claim settlement received.
The increase in expenditures in 1992 over 1991 was attributable to the inclusion
of Devron operations, amortization of goodwill as a result of the Devron
acquisition, as well as the marketing costs incurred to successfully launch the
new MXOpen product line.
To reduce annual spending and improve efficiency, the Company provided
restructuring reserves of $9.0 million and $11.7 million, in 1992 and 1991,
respectively, for personnel reductions and plant consolidations.
Interest income decreased $1.6 million (20%) to $6.5 million in 1993 from 1992
and $4.4 million (40%) from 1991. Both lower average cash balances and lower
interest rates, especially in Europe, contributed to the decline in interest
income. Interest income in 1994 is dependent upon interest rates and cash flow
from operations.
The Company's effective tax rate in 1993 was 35% compared with 57% and 25% in
1992 and 1991, respectively. This decrease reflects changes in the geographic
mix of earnings in countries in which the Company operates. The increase in the
effective tax rate from 1991 to 1992 was in part due to losses incurred by
several subsidiaries which could not be benefitted for tax purposes. Comparing
1993 to 1991, the Company experienced high tax rates in its Canadian operations,
while the profits in the Company's Irish manufacturing facility, which has a low
tax rate, decreased.
In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The
Statement will be effective for the Company's fiscal year 1994. The estimated
cumulative effect of implementing the Statement will be to reduce the deferred
tax liability by approximately $0.5 million in the first quarter of 1994.
Net income for 1993 was $8.2 million, an increase of $6.6 million from $1.6
million in 1992 and a increase of $7.8 million from $0.4 million in 1991. Net
income was $0.46 per share compared to $0.09 and $0.02 per share in 1992 and
1991, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amounts in thousands unless otherwise noted)
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Fiscal Year - The Company uses a 52-53 week fiscal year. References to 1993,
1992, and 1991 are for fiscal years ended November 28, 1993, November 29, 1992,
and December 1, 1991, respectively. Fiscal years 1993, 1992 and 1991 were 52
week years.
Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
all subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions.
The Company has reclassified the presentation of certain prior year information
to conform with the current year presentation format.
Foreign Currency Translation - Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency
translation of the Company's foreign operations (except certain manufacturing
operations and operations in hyperinflationary countries) were recorded directly
to a separate component of shareholders' equity. For certain manufacturing
operations and sales operations in hyperinflationary countries, the functional
currency is deemed to be U.S. dollars, and translation gains or losses are
reflected in interest income and other.
Foreign Exchange Contracts - The Company hedges certain international system
orders using foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the risk of loss due
to foreign currency fluctuations. In addition, the Company hedges the U.S.
dollar value of net asset or liability positions denominated in currencies other
than the functional currency of its foreign subsidiaries and records any
resulting gains or losses in interest income and other. At November 28, 1993,
the Company had foreign exchange forward contracts valued at $29.8 million
maturing from December 1993 through July 1994, of which 50% were denominated in
European currencies and 35% denominated in Yen. The carrying amount of the
foreign exchange contracts approximates fair value, which has been estimated
based on the amount the Company would have had to pay to terminate these
agreements at year-end. At year-end 1992 and 1991, the Company had forward
contracts valued at $29.5 million and $65.3 million, respectively.
Approximately 70% of these contracts are with one financial institution.
Revenue Recognition - The Company generally recognizes revenue from system sales
at the time of shipment provided any remaining obligations are insignificant and
collection is probable. Revenue on certain software contracts are recognized on
a percentage-of-completion basis. Service and other revenues are recognized as
the services are provided or ratably over the life of the contracts.
Product Development Expenses - The Company is actively engaged in basic
technology and applied research and development programs which are designed to
develop new or improved products and process applications. The cost of these
programs is charged to expense as incurred except for certain software
development costs which are capitalized as described below (see Capitalized
Software).
Capitalized Software - Costs related to the conceptual formulation and design
of software products are expensed as product development. Costs incurred
subsequent to establishing the technological feasibility of software products
are capitalized.
Amortization of capitalized software costs, which begins when products are
available for general release to customers, is computed on a straight-line basis
over the expected product lives, generally estimated to be three years.
Income Taxes - Taxes are provided for items included in the consolidated
statements of income regardless of the period when such items may be reported
for tax purposes.
71
<PAGE>
The Company provides U.S. and foreign income taxes on the portion of the
accumulated earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries which are intended to
be remitted to the parent Company within the foreseeable future.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash equivalents generally consist of certificates
of deposit, time deposits, treasury notes and municipal bonds. The Company
considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of 90
days or less to be a cash equivalent. A substantial portion of the Company's
cash and cash equivalents are held by foreign subsidiaries and are generally
held in U.S. dollar denominated holdings. Amounts held by foreign subsidiaries
would be subject to U.S. income taxation, net of available foreign tax credits,
upon repatriation to the U.S.
Marketable Securities and Short-term Investments - Marketable securities and
short-term investments are stated at cost, which approximates market based on
quoted market prices. Short-term investments are comprised primarily of time
deposits with original maturities between three and twelve months. Marketable
securities are comprised of a managed portfolio of preferred stocks and futures
contracts. The Company enters into futures contracts to hedge the risk
associated with the impact of interest rate fluctuations on its current
marketable securities portfolio. Gains and losses on such contracts are
recognized in income when changes in the value of the marketable securities are
realized.
Inventory Valuation - Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost
(which approximates actual cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or
market. Inventory costs include raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing
overhead.
Depreciation - Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line
basis over estimated useful lives which range as follows: buildings and
improvements - 3 to 40 years; machinery and equipment - 3 to 20 years. Service
parts are depreciated on a 7-year declining balance basis. When assets are sold
or retired, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts and the resulting gains or losses are included in income.
Net Income Per Share - Net income per share is computed based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the year adjusted to reflect
the assumed exercise of outstanding employee stock options to the extent these
items had a dilutive effect on the computation.

asset. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses and such
losses have been within management's expectations. Contracts receivable from
two major customers amounted to approximately $11.3 million at year-end 1993.

The decrease in capitalized software in 1993 reflects the amortization of the
new MXOpen software released during late 1992. Amortization expense of
capitalized software was $3.4 million, $1.7 million and $2.8 million in 1993,
1992 and 1991, respectively. The increase in goodwill and other is mainly
attributable to the acquisition of Roibox Oy in April 1993. Goodwill is
amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 to 40 years.
ACQUISITION
On April 7, 1993, the Company acquired Roibox Oy for approximately 1.7 million,
net of cash acquired. Located in Kuopio, Finland, Roibox Oy is a worldwide
supplier of web-inspection and other quality inspection products for the paper
industry. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method.
Accordingly, the cost of the acquisition was allocated to assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The net assets and
results of operations of Roibox Oy are included in the consolidated financial
statements from the date of acquisition. The results of operations of Roibox Oy
in 1993 and 1992 were not material to the Company's consolidated results of
operations. Roibox operates as a separate subsidiary of Measurex, with
manufacturing, engineering, product marketing and sales support continuing in
Finland.
On August 30, 1991, Measurex Inc. (Canadian subsidiary of Measurex Corporation)
acquired Devron-Hercules, Inc. for $21.9 million in cash. The acquisition was
accounted for using the purchase method.

LINES OF CREDIT AND LONG-TERM DEBT
As of November 28, 1993, the Company had unsecured bank line of credit
agreements of $25.0 million, which provide for domestic and foreign currency
borrowings, advances and guarantees, Bankers' Acceptances, and letters of
credit. There was $16.7 million available in connection with these agreements
at November 28, 1993.
The agreements, which expire during fiscal year 1994, require the Company to
adhere to certain covenants regarding working capital, indebtedness, and minimum
shareholders' equity.
A revolving credit agreement ($20 million) provides for variable interest rates
based on the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR). Under a multicurrency credit
agreement ($5 million), the Company may obtain loans at the lending bank's base
rate plus 3/8%.
Long-term debt consists of the following:

In May 1993, the Company borrowed $20 million under a 5.35% five-year term loan
agreement with a bank. Proceeds from the loan are used principally to support
the Company's United States equipment lease portfolio. Borrowings under the
loan agreement are unsecured. Interest is payable quarterly, with principal
payable in equal quarterly installments of $1.0 million through June 1998. The
loan agreement contains certain restrictive covenants which include the
maintenance of minimum consolidated cash balances of $40 million, minimum
tangible net worth, and certain financial ratios. The Company was in compliance
with all covenants at year-end 1993.
The Company believes that as of November 28, 1993, the fair value of its long-
term debt approximates the carrying value of those obligations. The fair value
of the Company's long-term debt is estimated based on interest rates currently
available to the Company for debt with similar terms and maturities.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company leases various facilities and equipment under noncancellable lease
agreements. Rent expense under all operating leases was approximately $4.4
million, $3.9 million, and $3.6 million in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
Future minimum lease payments under these noncancellable operating leases as of
November 28, 1993 are approximately $4.1 million, $2.6 million, $1.4 million,
$1.2 million, and $1.1 million for fiscal years 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998,
respectively, and approximately $3.2 million in total for years following 1998.
At November 28, 1993, the Company was contingently liable for approximately $8.3
million relating principally to letters of credit issued to support European
collections as well as $0.6 million relating to lease guarantees and other
contingent liabilities.
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal
course of its business. In the opinion of management, these proceedings will
not have a material adverse effect on the financial position and results of
operations of the Company.
RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
In 1992 the Company recorded a $9.0 million pretax charge for restructuring
operations to reduce costs and improve efficiency. Provision was made for
severance costs and other expenses related to a worldwide reduction in work
force.
In 1991 the Company recorded an $11.7 million pretax charge for cost-reduction
actions which included consolidating the plants in Ireland to a single site in
Waterford, as well as closing the Jyvaskyla, Finland, Safecontrol facility and
transferring these activities to Cupertino. In addition, provision was made for
severance payments to terminated employees and employee relocation expenses.

STOCK OPTION AND STOCK PURCHASE PLANS
Under the Company's stock option plan, 5,110,240 shares of common stock have
been reserved for issuance to officers and key employees.
Options may be granted at prices not lower than the fair market value of the
Company's common stock at the date of grant. Options generally become
exercisable in four equal annual
75
<PAGE>
installments commencing one year from the date of grant. Options generally
expire, if not exercised, within five years from the date of grant. The stock
option plan includes an automatic option grant program for the Company's non-
employee directors. Such options expire 10 years from the date of grant.
The stock option program also allows selected employees to elect to have a
portion of their base salary reduced in return for options to purchase common
stock. The option price represents the difference between the fair market value
of the Company's common stock at the date of grant and the salary reduction. In
1991 and 1990, options were granted for 13,000 and 6,600 shares at option prices
of $5.63 and $7.02 per share, respectively, under this program. Options under
this plan are fully vested one year from date of grant and expire if not
exercised within 10 years.
A summary of transactions relating to options during fiscal years 1991, 1992 and
1993 is set forth below:

</TABLE>
Included in the 1991 activity is the cancellation and regrant of 1,327,190
options at $16.87 per share. Regranted options vest over a four-year period
irrespective of vested status of cancelled options.
At year end 1993 and 1992, options to purchase 1,003,416 shares and 591,556
shares, respectively, were exercisable at prices ranging from $5.63 to $31.13
and from $5.63 and $32.44, respectively.
Shares available for option grants at year end 1993 and 1992 were 2,407,345 and
711,515, respectively.
The Company has a remaining reserve of approximately 98,000 shares of its
authorized but unissued common stock for issuance under an employee stock
purchase plan.
The stock purchase plan covers substantially all employees of the parent company
and its domestic subsidiaries. Common stock purchases are paid through periodic
payroll deductions of up to 10% of eligible compensation. The participant's
purchase price is 85% of the lower of the closing market price on the first
trading day or the last trading day of the quarter
76
<PAGE>
in which the stock is purchased by the employee. The Company has issued 901,179
shares of its stock (including 345,339 treasury shares) under this plan as of
November 28, 1993.
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company has a Savings and Deferred Profit Sharing Plan qualified under
section 401(k) and 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. This Plan is designed
to enable eligible U.S. employees to share in the profits of the Company and
supplement their retirement income. The Company contributes to the Plan up to
10% of consolidated pretax income before contributions under the Plan. Profit
sharing expenses under this plan were $0.7 million, $0.6 million and $0.5
million in fiscal years 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. The Company matches
up to $1,000 of each employee's contributions to the Plan, depending on length
of service. Measurex's matching contributions to the Plan were $0.8 million,
$0.9 million and $0.8 million in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
Certain foreign employees are eligible to participate in similar profit sharing
programs or local pension plans. With respect to these plans, the pension

</TABLE>
The foreign provision for income taxes is based on foreign pretax earnings of
approximately $19.3 million, $4.6 million and $8.1 million in 1993, 1992 and
1991, respectively.
In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." This
Statement is effective for the Company's fiscal year 1994. The estimated
cumulative effect of implementing the Statement will be to reduce the deferred
tax liability by approximately $0.5 million in the first quarter of 1994.
The major components of the provision not currently payable result from:

The Company has not provided for United States income taxes on the earnings of
certain foreign subsidiaries that are considered invested indefinitely outside
the United States. The cumulative earnings of the foreign subsidiaries that are
considered permanently invested outside the United States amounted to $64.0
million at November 28, 1993.

<PAGE>
The manufacturing profits from the Company's subsidiary in the Republic of
Ireland are subject to a 10% tax until the year 2010.
At November 28, 1993, the Company has in various foreign subsidiaries net
operating loss carryforwards of approximately $13.7 million and tax credit
carryforwards of approximately $1.8 million at current exchange rates. $8.9
million of the net operating loss carryforwards and $0.9 million of the tax
credit carryforwards will expire in varying amounts between 1994 and 2000.
These carryforwards will reduce net tax expense for financial report purposes if
utilized.
The principal items accounting for the difference between income taxes computed
at the United States statutory rate and the provision for income taxes are as

GAIN ON SALE OF TECHNOLOGY AND ASSETS
In January 1992, Measurex sold all rights to the PlantWorks(TM): Application
Automation Edition(TM) software package and certain other assets of its
subsidiary, Measurex Automation Systems, to International Business Machines
Corporation (IBM), which resulted in a pretax gain of $2.4 million.
TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANY
In the second quarter of 1990, the Company entered into a cooperative
arrangement with Beloit Corporation for integrated marketing and sales of all
Measurex controls with Beloit's full line of pulp and paper machinery.
Simultaneously executed, was a seven-year "standstill" agreement between
Measurex and Harnischfeger Industries Inc., Beloit's parent company, whereby
Harnischfeger purchased 20% of Measurex's common stock on the open market.
Revenues and ending accounts receivable with Beloit for the year ending November
28, 1993 were immaterial.

<PAGE>
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company operates in one principal industry segment: the design, development,
manufacture, sales and service of computer-integrated manufacturing systems.
The Company sells these products to the pulp and paper, plastics, metals, rubber
and chemical industries. Approximately 80% of the Company's system revenue is
from the pulp and paper industry in 1993, 1992 and 1991.
No single customer accounted for 10% or more of revenues during 1993, 1992 or
1991.
The Company's products are principally distributed and serviced through its own
marketing and service organizations. Operations are conducted worldwide and are
grouped into three geographic areas: United States, Europe, and Other
International (primarily Canada, the Pacific Rim, and the Southern Hemisphere
countries).
The following table summarizes the geographic operations of the Company:

The Company's manufacturing operations sell systems to its sales and service
operations. Sales to non-U.S. subsidiaries from U.S. manufacturing operations
were $43.7 million in 1993, $46.6 million in 1992 and $50.4 million in 1991.
Sales to United States and European affiliates from the Canadian manufacturing
operations acquired in 1991 were $21.4 million and $16.9 million in 1993 and
1992, respectively. Sales to affiliates from other geographic areas were not
significant. Internal selling prices are designed to allocate manufacturing
profits to manufacturing entities and sales and service profits to sales and
service entities.
The United States revenues from unaffiliated overseas customers in 1993, 1992
and 1991, were not significant.
Corporate identifiable assets include short-term cash investments and marketable
securities.
