NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of Communications & Power Industries Holding Corporation (“Holding”) and Communications & Power Industries, Inc. (“CPI”, both companies together referred to as the “Company”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted and, accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 27, 2002. Management believes that these unaudited interim condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company, and its results of operations and cash flows for the interim period presented. The results for the interim periods reported are not necessarily indicative of the results for the complete fiscal year 2003.

2. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market (net realizable value). The main components of inventories are as follows:

4. Segments and Related Information

The Company has two reportable segments: vacuum electronic devices (“VEDs”) and satcom equipment. Management evaluates performance and allocates resources based on earnings before income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”).

Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments is shown in the following table. Included in the “Other” column is financial information for the Company’s Solid State Products Division, which was sold in September 2002, and did not meet the quantitative thresholds to be reported separately, and certain unallocated corporate-level operating expenses. Intersegment product transfers are recorded at cost.

A reconciliation of EBITDA from reportable segments to Income (loss) before taxes is as follows:

Sales by geographic area to unaffiliated customers (based on the location of customer) are as follows:

CPI has a single customer that accounts for 10% or more of consolidated sales. Sales to this customer were $11.5 million and $10.0 million of the Company’s consolidated sales for the 14-week period ended January 3, 2003 and the 13-week period ended December 28, 2001, respectively. A substantial majority of these sales were VED segment products, but this customer also purchased satcom equipment products.

5. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, in August 2001, and SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets”, in October 2001. SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002 and requires that the fair value of an asset retirement obligation be recorded as a liability in the period in which it incurs the obligation. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. It provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of and replaces SFAS No. 121 “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of.” The Company adopted these Statements on September 28, 2002. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.” This Statement rescinds SFAS Statement No. 4, “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt,” and an amendment of that Statement, SFAS Statement No. 64, “Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements.” This Statement amends SFAS Statement No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. This Statement also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 are effective in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, with early adoption permitted and, in general, are to be applied prospectively. The Company adopted this Statement on September 28, 2002. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit and Disposal Activities.” SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are effective prospectively for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure — an Amendment of SFAS 123.” SFAS 148 provides additional transition guidance for those entities that elect to voluntarily adopt the accounting provisions of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Since the Company intends to continue to apply the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based compensation, the adoption of SFAS 148 will not have an effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, the Company will provide the additional disclosures required by SFAS 148 beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2003.

6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also specifies the criteria intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if certain indicators arise. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated lives and be reviewed for impairment. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 and ceased amortization of its goodwill, beginning in fiscal year 2003.

Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company performed a transitional goodwill impairment evaluation to assess whether goodwill was impaired as of the date of adoption. Based on the results of the first step of the transitional goodwill impairment test it was determined that no potential impairment exists. As a result, the Company has recognized no transitional impairment loss in connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 142. Also upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, as required by SFAS No. 141, the Company reassessed the useful lives and residual values of all intangible assets acquired in purchase business combinations, and no significant changes were deemed necessary.

Goodwill

As of January 3, 2003 and September 27, 2002, the Company had $19.1 million of goodwill, $13.4 million of which has been allocated to the VED segment and $5.7 million of which has been allocated to the satcom equipment segment. There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the quarter ended January 3, 2003.

The following table presents the impact of adopting SFAS No. 142 on net income (loss) had the standard been in effect for the comparable period of fiscal year 2002.

Intangible Assets

As of January 3, 2003 and September 27, 2002, the Company had $1.9 million of intangible assets at cost, with accumulated amortization of $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets for the fiscal quarters ended January 3, 2003 and December 28, 2001 was approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Amortization expense for these intangible assets is projected to be approximately $0.4 million per year through fiscal year 2006.

7. Amendment to Credit Facility

In December 2002, the Company amended its credit facility to increase the maximum amount of its revolving credit line by $20.0 million (the amount of a prepaid term loan formerly outstanding under the same credit facility) from $41.0 million to $61.0 million and to extend the expiration date from December 22, 2004 to May 31, 2005. The credit facility continues to be secured by substantially all of the assets of CPI and guaranteed by Holding and all of CPI’s subsidiaries. Availability under the revolving credit facility continues to be based upon eligible receivables, machinery and equipment and certain real estate.

The Company is under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform such statements to actual results or to changes in the Company’s expectations.

The information in this report is not a complete description of the Company’s business or the risks associated with an investment in the Company’s securities. We urge you to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by the Company in this report and in the Company’s other reports filed with the SEC.

Overview

The following discussion reflects the condensed consolidated results of Holding, which are materially consistent with those of CPI except as identified below and should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto:

The Company serves the communications, radar, electronic countermeasures, industrial, medical and scientific markets. In addition, the Company divides the communications market into applications for ground-based satellite uplinks for military and commercial uses (“satcom”) and broadcast sectors. The Company defines and discusses its orders and sales trends by the end markets to more clearly relate its business to outside investors. Internally, however, the Company is organized into five operating units that are differentiated based on products. Four of these operating units comprise the Company’s vacuum electronic device (“VED”) segment. The Company also has a satellite communications equipment segment. Segment data is included in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

The Company’s fiscal years are the 52- or 53-week periods which end on the Friday nearest September 30. Fiscal year 2003 will be comprised of the 53-week period ended October 3, 2003, and fiscal year

-13-

2002 was comprised of the 52-week period ended September 27, 2002. The first quarter of fiscal year2003 was comprised of 14 weeks, whereas the first quarter of fiscal year 2002 was comprised of 13 weeks.

Orders during the first quarter of fiscal year 2003 were $75.3 million, as compared to $71.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2002. This increase of $3.9 million for the quarter reflects a higher demand for products in the communications, electronic countermeasures and medical markets, offset somewhat by decreases in orders for the Company’s remaining three markets. This quarter’s communication orders demonstrated the first quarter-on-quarter increase in over a year. The increase of $3.1 million or 15.4% from the first quarter of fiscal year 2002 is due primarily to the receipt of a large order from a direct-to-home service supplier. The increase in communication orders is not expected to be sustained in the upcoming quarters as the Company believes that communication companies are continuing to maintain their capital spending at the moderate rates we have seen in the last several quarters. Electronic countermeasures orders for the first quarter of fiscal year 2003 were $11.5 million, an increase of $9.4 million from the first quarter of fiscal year 2002. The increase is due primarily to timing of order releases from quarter to quarter by OEM’s and government logistics agencies, and annual orders in this market are expected to be consistent with fiscal year 2002 levels. Medical orders increased by $1.6 million to $7.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2003 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2002. Radar, industrial and scientific orders decreased by $2.1 million, $2.8 million and $5.3 million, respectively, from the first quarter of 2002 to the first quarter of 2003 due principally to fluctuations in the timing of order receipts, with several significant orders received in the first quarter of fiscal year 2002 which were not repeated in the first quarter of 2003. Overall, incoming order levels fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis and a particular quarter’s order rate may not be indicative of future order levels. In addition, the Company’s sales are highly dependent upon manufacturing scheduling, performance and shipments and, accordingly, it is not possible to accurately predict when these orders will be recognized as sales.

As of January 3, 2003, the Company had an order backlog of $159.0 million, representing approximately eight months of sales, compared to an order backlog of $157.0 million, or approximately seven-and-a-half months of sales, as of December 28, 2001. Order backlog increased during the first quarter of fiscal year 2003 by $13.9 million from $145.1 million at the end of fiscal year 2002.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management is required to make judgments, assumptions and estimates in preparing its financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2002. The following critical accounting policies are those policies that management believes affect its more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

The estimated sales values of performance under certain contracts to commercial customers and U. S. Government fixed-price and fixed-price incentive contracts are recognized under the percentage of completion method of accounting. When applying the percentage of completion

-14-

Table of Contents

COMMUNICATIONS & POWER INDUSTRIES HOLDING CORPORATION
and subsidiaries

COMMUNICATIONS & POWER INDUSTRIES, INC.,
and subsidiaries
(A wholly owned subsidiary of Communications & Power Industries Holding Corporation)

method, the Company relies on estimates of total expected contract revenue and costs. Recognized revenues and profit are subject to revisions as the contract progresses towards completion. Revisions in profit estimates are charged to income in the period in which they become determinable. Sales under cost-reimbursement contracts, primarily research and development contracts, are recorded as costs are incurred and include estimated earned fees in the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to total estimated costs. The fees under certain U.S. Government contracts may be increased or decreased in accordance with cost or performance incentive provisions which measure actual performance against established targets or other criteria. Such incentive fee awards or penalties are included in revenue at the time the amounts can be reasonably determined.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company monitors the creditworthiness of its customers based on a variety of factors including the length of time the receivables are past due, the financial health of the customer, economic conditions and historical experience. If collectibility is considered uncertain, then the Company will record a reserve to reduce the receivable to the amount considered collectable. If circumstances change, then further adjustments could be required.

Warranty Reserves

The Company’s products are generally subject to warranties, and the Company provides for the estimated future costs of repair, replacement or customer accommodation at the time of sale as an additional cost of product. Management’s estimates are based on historical costs for warranty, and are adjusted when circumstances indicate that future costs are expected to vary from historical levels. If actual product failure rates or material usage incurred differs from the Company’s estimates, then revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.

Inventory Valuation

Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market (net realizable value). The carrying value of inventory is reduced for estimated obsolescence or unmarketability based upon assumptions about future demand, market conditions, product lifecycles and product pricing. If the Company’s assumptions were to be substantially different than estimated, further adjustments could be required. While these estimates require management to make assumptions and judgments, management believes its understanding of the markets and customers the Company serves, as well as the mature nature of many of the products the Company manufactures, provides it with the ability to make reliable estimates. Management also evaluates the carrying value of inventory for lower of cost or market on an individual product or contract basis. Analyses are performed based on the estimated costs at completion and if necessary, a provision is recorded to properly reflect the inventory value of the products or contracts at the lower of cost or net realizable value (selling price less estimated cost of disposal). If actual contract costs were to be substantially higher than estimated, further provisions could be required.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets, excluding intangible assets which are covered by SFAS 142, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparison of its carrying

-15-

Table of Contents

COMMUNICATIONS & POWER INDUSTRIES HOLDING CORPORATION
and subsidiaries

COMMUNICATIONS & POWER INDUSTRIES, INC.,
and subsidiaries
(A wholly owned subsidiary of Communications & Power Industries Holding Corporation)

amount to future net cash flows expected to be generated from the operation and sale of long-lived assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the Company’s carrying value is reduced to its estimated fair value. Adverse changes in the customers and markets served by the Company could result in future impairments of long-lived assets.

Goodwill Impairment

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The Company performed a goodwill impairment test in the first quarter of fiscal year 2003, upon adoption of SFAS No. 142. The Company plans to perform another goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of the 2003 fiscal year, or earlier if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment loss has occurred. Goodwill and certain other corporate assets and liabilities are assigned to the reporting units which are consistent with the Company’s operating divisions. The fair value of the reporting units are then compared to the carrying value to determine if there is any potential impairment. The process of evaluating potential impairment is subjective and requires judgements regarding revenue forecasts, discount rates, and weighted average cost of capital among other things. Adverse changes in the industries served by the Company, customer demand or other market conditions could result in future impairments of goodwill.

Results of Operations

Sales. Sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 2003 were $61.6 million, a decrease of $4.6 million, or 6.9%, from the same period in fiscal year 2002. This decrease is attributable to the fact that sales in the communications market for the first quarter of fiscal year 2002 included the final units of the XM Radio project, which contributed sales of approximately $5.0 million.

Gross Margin. Gross margins for the first quarter of fiscal year 2003 were 27.1%, an increase of 5.7% from the first quarter of fiscal year 2002. The increase is attributable to a more favorable product mix, negotiated reductions in component costs and gains in production efficiencies.

Operating Costs and Expenses. Operating costs and expenses were $9.2 million, or 15.0 % of sales, for the first quarter of fiscal year 2003 as compared to $9.8 million, or 14.8 % of sales, for the first quarter of fiscal year 2002. In absolute dollars, the decrease of $0.6 million can be attributed to decreased general and administrative costs resulting from the absence of goodwill amortization upon adoption of SFAS 142 and cost-cutting measures, offset in part by increased research and development expenses.

EBITDA. Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”)¹ for the first quarter of fiscal year 2003 were $9.4 million, or 15.3% of sales, compared to $7.5 million, or 11.3% of sales, for the first quarter of fiscal year 2002. This increase in EBITDA can be attributed primarily to the improvement in gross margins as discussed above.

Other Income. Other income of $0.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2003 represents the Company’s portion of the fair value of stock received from its life and disability insurance provider resulting from the insurance company’s 2001 demutualization.

Net Income (Loss). Net income was $2.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2003 compared to a net loss of $1.0 million for the corresponding period of fiscal year 2002. The increase in the Company’s net income from the first quarter of fiscal year 2002 can be attributed to improved operating income as discussed above and reduced interest expense resulting from lower outstanding debt, offset in part by an increase in tax expense resulting from the Company’s return to profitability in fiscal year 2003.

Differences between Holding and CPI. CPI’s operating results differ from those of Holding due to a sale-leaseback transaction between CPI and Holding which took place in December 2000. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2003, CPI’s income before taxes was $4.2 million, which was approximately $0.2 million higher than Holdings’ income before taxes of $4.0 million. As a result of the sale-leaseback transaction, operating costs for CPI were approximately $0.3 million higher than those of Holding due to rental payments paid by CPI to Holding for use of the San Carlos facility offset by amortization of the deferred gain on the sale-leaseback and additional depreciation on the San Carlos facility. Interest expense, net, for CPI was approximately $0.5 million lower than that of Holding. The decrease primarily relates to the fact that Holding’s interest expense includes interest paid on the mortgage financing of the San Carlos facility combined with CPI’s interest income on a note receivable from Holding. All other operations data for CPI is consistent with Holding’s operations data for the first quarter of fiscal year 2003.

Financial Condition

The Company generated positive cash flows from operating activities during the first quarter of fiscal year 2003 as well as each quarter of fiscal year 2002. Cash flows provided by operating activities for the first quarter of fiscal year 2003 were $11.0 million, an increase of $1.2 million from the $9.8 million provided by operating activities during the first quarter of fiscal year 2002. The incremental positive cash flow was generated primarily from cash generated from operating earnings, further reductions in inventories and increased advance payments from customers, offset by decreases in accounts payable.

Investing activities were comprised principally of purchases of property, plant and equipment totaling $0.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2003. Purchases of property, plant and equipment were down $0.4 million from $0.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2002. The Company currently anticipates that capital expenditure requirements for fiscal year 2003 will be approximately $3.5 million, similar to the amounts spent in fiscal years 2002 and 2001.

Financing activities during the first quarter of fiscal year 2003 were related to a principal payment of $0.3 million made on the mortgage financing held by Holding related to the San Carlos facility and debt issuance costs related to an amendment of the Company’s credit facility.

In December 2002, the Company amended its credit facility to increase the maximum amount of its revolving credit line by $20.0 million (the amount of a prepaid term loan formerly outstanding under the

same credit facility) from $41.0 million to $61.0 million and to extend the expiration date from December 22, 2004 to May 31, 2005. The credit facility continues to be secured by substantially all of the assets of CPI and guaranteed by Holding and all of CPI’s subsidiaries. Availability under the revolving credit facility continues to be based upon eligible receivables, machinery and equipment and certain real estate

As of January 3, 2003, the Company had $27.7 million available under its revolving line of credit.

The following is a summary of certain obligations and commitments of the Company as of January 3, 2003:

Holding’s short-term debt includes mortgage financing of $17.5 million that expires on June 1, 2003. Restrictions in the Senior Subordinated Notes Indenture and in the Company’s credit facility prohibit CPI from distributing cash to Holding to satisfy this obligation. Management expects to either refinance this obligation or to enter into a sale or other transaction with respect to this property.

In connection with the sale of the Company’s Solid State Products Division (“SSPD”) in September 2002 to KMIC Technology, Inc., a company owned by the former management of SSPD, the Company was required to provide a $100,000 letter of credit as a partial guarantee for the new company’s leased facilities. The guarantee expires in November 2003.

CPI’s financial condition differs from that of Holding, as discussed above, in that CPI’s debt obligations and financing activities do not include $17.5 million of mortgage financing due in 2003. This mortgage financing resulted from Holding’s purchase of the San Carlos facility from CPI in a sale-leaseback transaction which took place in December 2000. In connection with the sale-leaseback transaction, CPI entered into a non-cancelable lease with Holding for the San Carlos real property for a term of twenty years with a fixed annual rent of $2.45 million.

Generally, there can be no assurance that the combination of cash generated by operations, borrowing availability from the Company’s credit facility and additional collateral-based financing will be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements. If the Company is unable to satisfy such cash requirements from these sources, the Company will adopt one or more alternatives, such as reducing or delaying

capital expenditures, reducing discretionary costs, and attempting to negotiate an increase to the Company’s borrowing capacity under its line of credit.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit and Disposal Activities.” SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are effective prospectively for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure — an Amendment of SFAS 123.” SFAS 148 provides additional transition guidance for those entities that elect to voluntarily adopt the accounting provisions of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Since the Company intends to continue to apply the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based compensation, the adoption of SFAS 148 will not have an effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, the Company will provide the additional disclosures required by SFAS 148 beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2003.

Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the various risks and uncertainties that impact the Company’s business and the other information in this report and the Company’s other filings with the SEC before you decide to invest in the Company or to maintain or increase your investment. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: product demand and market acceptance risks; the effect of general economic conditions; the impact of competitive products and pricing; new product development and commercialization; technological difficulties and the ability to increase margins; production interruptions due to power shutdowns and volatility in energy costs; U.S. Government export policies; changes in Governmental appropriations, national defense policies and availability of Government funds; changes in environmental regulation and legislation; availability of certain critical materials and raw material price fluctuations; the Company’s significant leverage; the Company’s ability to generate the significant amount of cash needed to service its debt; and the Company’s ability to obtain financing in the future. Any of the foregoing factors could cause the Company’s business, results of operations, or financial condition to suffer, and actual results could differ materially from those expected.
