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 fiscal 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:


		July 4,		September 27,

Raw materials and parts		$	27,852		30,638
Work in process			4,285		6,507

	Total inventories	$	34,551		39,927

3. Accrued Warranty

The Company’s products are generally warranted for a variety of periods, typically one to three years or a predetermined product usage life. The Company assesses the adequacy of its preexisting warranty liabilities and adjusts the balance based on actual experience and changes in future expectations. The following table reconciles the changes in the Company’s accrued warranty:

5. 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”), which the Company believes investors use as an important measure to analyze its performance.

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.

CPI has a single customer that accounts for 10% or more of consolidated sales. Sales to this customer were $14.6 million and $14.2 million of the Company’s consolidated sales for the 13-week period ended July 4, 2003 and June 28, 2002, respectively. Sales to this customer were $40.3 million and $34.4 million of the Company’s consolidated sales for the 40-week period ended July 4, 2003 and the 39-week period ended June 28, 2002, respectively. A substantial majority of these sales were VED segment products, but this customer also purchased satcom equipment products.

(A wholly owned subsidiary of Communications & Power Industries Holding Corporation)

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 No. 4, “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt,” and an amendment of that Statement, SFAS 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 No. 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. SFAS No. 146 will be applied prospectively for exit and disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. Adoption of this Statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – an Amendment of SFAS 123.” SFAS No. 148 provides additional transition guidance for those entities that elect to voluntarily adopt the accounting provisions of FASB Statement No. 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 No. 148 will not have an effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, the Company has provided the additional disclosures required by SFAS No. 148 beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2003.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 (“FIN 45”), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” FIN 45 requires a guarantor to include disclosure of certain obligations, and if applicable, at the inception of the guarantee, recognize a liability for the fair value of other certain obligations undertaken in issuing a

guarantee. The recognition requirement is effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” FIN 46 provides guidance for determining when an entity that is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or equivalent structure should consolidate the variable interest entity into the entity’s financial statements. The consolidation provisions of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and to existing entities in the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company does not believe that it has any variable interests that would qualify as a variable interest entity and therefore does not expect adoption of FIN 46 to have an effect on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This Statement will be applied prospectively for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 149 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS No. 150 requires that certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity, be classified as liabilities in statements of financial position. The financial instruments affected include mandatorily redeemable stock, certain financial instruments that require or may require the issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for cash or other assets and certain obligations that can be settled with shares of stock. SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and must be applied to existing financial instruments at the beginning of the first fiscal period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 150 in its fourth quarter beginning July 5, 2003. The Company is currently analyzing this Statement and has not yet determined its impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

7. 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

and subsidiaries
(A wholly owned subsidiary of Communications & Power Industries Holding Corporation)

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 July 4, 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 or nine-month period ended July 4, 2003.

The following table presents the impact of adopting SFAS No. 142 on net income (loss) if such standard had been in effect for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended June 28, 2002.

Intangible Assets

As of July 4, 2003 and September 27, 2002, the Company had $1.9 million of intangible assets at cost, with accumulated amortization of $0.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets for the 40-week period ended July 4, 2003 and the 39-week period ended June 28, 2002 was approximately $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Amortization expense for these intangible assets is projected to be approximately $0.4 million per year through fiscal year 2006.

8. Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations including FASB Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25” issued in March 2000. Since the exercise price of options granted under such plans is generally equal to the market value on the date of grant, no compensation cost has been recognized for grants under the Company’s stock option plan. If compensation cost for the Company’s stock-based compensation plan had been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” the Company’s net income (loss) would have changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

For the 40-week period ended July 4, 2003, the positive deduction for stock-based compensation determined under the fair value method is due to the actual forfeiture rate exceeding the estimated forfeiture rate for employee stock options granted in prior periods.

9. 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 the 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.

10. Mortgage Refinancing

Effective June 1, 2003, Holding’s mortgage financing of $17.5 million was refinanced. Under the terms of the refinancing, the loan was extended until January 31, 2004. The mortgage bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 4.25%.

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 5 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

COMMUNICATIONS & POWER INDUSTRIES HOLDING CORPORATION
and subsidiaries

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

2002 was comprised of the 52-week period ended September 27, 2002. The third quarters of fiscal year 2003 and fiscal year 2002 were both comprised of 13 weeks. The first nine months of fiscal year 2003 was comprised of a 40-week period ended July 4, 2003 while the first nine months of fiscal year 2002 was comprised of a 39-week period ended June 28, 2002.

Orders during the third quarter of fiscal year 2003 were $70.9 million, compared to $55.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2002. The increase of $15.7 million, or 28.4%, compared to the same quarter of fiscal year 2002, primarily reflects a higher demand for products in the communications, radar, electronic countermeasures and medical markets. Communications orders for the third quarter of fiscal year 2003 were $19.9 million, an increase of $3.9 million from the third quarter of fiscal year 2002. The increase in communications orders is due primarily to an increase in satcom orders during the quarter. Radar orders for the third quarter of fiscal year 2003 were $30.3 million, an increase of $2.4 million from the third quarter of fiscal year 2002. The increase in radar orders is due primarily to an increase in spares and repair orders for logistic agencies. Electronic countermeasures orders for the third quarter of fiscal year 2003 were $8.8 million, an increase of $6.6 million from the third quarter of fiscal year 2002. Electronic countermeasures orders increased because of two large orders that totaled over $6 million; one order was a follow-on contract for transmitter products and the other order was for VED’s. Medical orders for the third quarter of fiscal year 2003 were $7.7 million, an increase of $2.9 million from the third quarter of fiscal year 2002. Medical orders increased due to higher demand for power grid tube, X-Ray generator, and power supply products used in medical imaging. Orders in the Company’s remaining markets were essentially unchanged from the third quarter of fiscal year 2002.

Orders for the nine months ended July 4, 2003 were $236.1 million, an increase of $44.2 million, or 23.0%, from $191.9 million in the comparable period of fiscal year 2002. The increase primarily reflects the higher demand for products in the communications, radar, electronic countermeasures and medical markets. Communication orders increased by $12.8 million from the first nine months of fiscal year 2002. The increase in communication orders is principally due to large orders from direct-to-home service suppliers. The Company does not expect that the higher communications order levels will be sustained in the upcoming quarters because communication companies will likely maintain their capital spending at moderate rates that we have seen in recent years. Radar orders, which have increased by $16.8 million from the first nine months of fiscal year 2002, have been buoyed by spares and repair orders for logistics agencies. Orders in the electronic countermeasures market have increased $15.9 million from the first nine months of fiscal year 2002 due primarily to higher demands from logistic agencies for spares and repairs to support defense system usage as well as the two large electronic countermeasure orders described above. Medical orders increased by $7.0 million from the first nine months of fiscal year 2002, due primarily to an increase in orders for VED’s used in cancer therapy systems and magnetic resonance imaging, and X-Ray generator and power supply products used in X-Ray imaging. These order increases were offset in part by declines in the industrial and scientific markets of $3.6 million and $4.7 million, respectively, from the comparable period of fiscal year 2002. The decline in these markets compared to fiscal year 2002 can be attributed to significant one-time orders received by the Company in fiscal year 2002. 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 July 4, 2003, the Company had an order backlog of $181.5 million, representing approximately eight and-a-half months of sales, compared to an order backlog of $149.0 million, or approximately seven months of sales, as of June 28, 2002. Since the end of fiscal year 2002, order backlog has increased by $36.4 million from $145.1 million at September 27, 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 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 for research and development efforts, 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

- 21 -

COMMUNICATIONS & POWER INDUSTRIES HOLDING CORPORATION
and subsidiaries

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

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 No. 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 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. 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 judgments 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

Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2003 Compared to the Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2002

Sales. Sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 2003 were $70.7 million, an increase of $5.9 million, or 9.1%, from the same period in fiscal year 2002. The third quarter sales increase is primarily due to increased spending in the communications market by direct-to-home service providers and increased demand for power grid tube and X-Ray generator products for the medical market.

Gross Margin. Gross profit was $23.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2003, an increase of $6.8 million, or 40.7%, from $16.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2002. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 33.2% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2003, compared to 25.7% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2002. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales resulted primarily from gains in production efficiencies from the increase in sales volume, resolution of technical problems, favorable product mix, improved pricing for certain products and completion of contracts with lower pricing in prior periods. In addition, gross profit for fiscal year 2003 does not include lower margin products from the Solid State Products Division (SSPD) that was sold in September of 2002.

Operating Costs and Expenses. Operating costs and expenses were $10.1 million, or 14.3% of sales, for the third quarter of fiscal year 2003, compared to $10.5 million or 16.2% of sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 2002. The $0.4 million decrease in operating expenses is primarily due to the elimination of goodwill amortization expense in fiscal year 2003, upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, and elimination of operating expenses from the SSPD Division that was sold in September 2002.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the third quarter of fiscal year 2003 was $1.4 million, compared to $3.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2002. The effective income tax rates were 14% and 153% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2003 and 2002, respectively. The change in income tax expense is primarily due to utilization of net operating loss carryforwards, which had a valuation allowance, and the sale of the Satcom manufacturing division to Communications & Power Industries Canada Inc. in fiscal year 2002. For fiscal years 2003 and 2002, income tax expense included a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets because of the uncertainty of realizing deferred tax assets.

EBITDA. Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the third quarter of fiscal year 2003 was $14.9 million or 21.1% of sales, compared to $8.9 million, or 13.8% of sales, for the third quarter of fiscal year 2002. This increase in EBITDA can be attributed primarily to the improvement in gross margins as discussed above. While management considers EBITDA to be an important measure of comparative operating performance, it should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, operating income, net earnings (loss), cash flow and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. EBITDA does not reflect cash available to fund cash requirements, and the items excluded from EBITDA, such as depreciation and amortization, are significant components in assessing the Company’s financial performance. Other significant uses of cash flows are required before cash will be available to the Company, including debt service, taxes and cash expenditures for various long-term assets. The Company believes that EBITDA is also used by some investors as a measure of its ability to service indebtedness. The Company’s calculation of EBITDA may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. For reconciliation of EBITDA to income before taxes, see Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Net Income (Loss). Net income was $8.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2003, compared to a net loss of $1.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2002. The increase in the Company’s net income from the third quarter of fiscal year 2002 can be attributed to improved operating income, as discussed above, reduced interest expense resulting from less outstanding debt and the realization of tax benefits from net operating losses and credit carryforwards that were reserved in prior years.

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 third quarter of fiscal year 2003, CPI’s income before taxes was $9.9 million, which was approximately $0.2 million higher than Holding’s income before taxes of $9.7 million. As a result of the sale-leaseback transaction, operating costs for CPI were approximately $0.4 million higher than those of Holding primarily because of rental payments paid by CPI to Holding for use of the San Carlos facility. Interest expense, net, for CPI was approximately $0.5 million lower than that of Holding. The difference in interest expense related to Holding’s interest expense on the San Carlos facility mortgage and on the note payable to CPI from the sale-leaseback transaction. All other operations data for CPI is consistent with Holding’s operations data for the third quarter of fiscal year 2003.

First Nine Months of Fiscal Year 2003 Compared to the First Nine Months of Fiscal Year 2002

Sales. Sales for the first nine months of fiscal year 2003 were $200.2 million, an increase of $8.6 million, or 4.5%, from the same period in fiscal year 2002. The sales increase is primarily due to increased spending by the United States Department of Defense for VED’s that are sold in the radar and electronic countermeasure markets and increases in shipments of power grid tubes, X-ray generators and VED products for the medical market. The increased sales in these markets was somewhat offset by decreases in sales to the communications and industrial market segments.

Gross Margin. Gross profit was $60.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2003, compared to $43.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2002, an increase of 39.0%. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 30.4% in the first nine months of fiscal year 2003, compared to 22.8% from the first nine months of fiscal year 2002. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales resulted primarily from gains in production efficiencies from the increase in sales volume and cost reduction programs, a favorable product mix, improved pricing for certain products and completion of contracts with lower pricing in prior periods, and production efficiencies in CPI’s Satcom operation resulting from its relocation in 2001 and 2002 to Ontario, Canada. In addition, gross profit for fiscal year 2003 does not include lower margin products from the Solid State Products Division (SSPD) that was sold in September of 2002.

Operating Costs and Expenses. Operating costs and expenses were $29.0 million, or 14.5% of sales, for the first nine months of fiscal year 2003, compared to $30.0 million, or 15.6% of sales, for the first nine months of fiscal year 2002. The $1.0 million decrease in operating expenses is primarily due to the elimination of goodwill amortization expense in fiscal year 2003, upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, and the elimination of operating expenses from the SSPD Division that was sold in September 2002.

Other Income. Other income of $0.3 million in the first nine months 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.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the nine months ended July 4, 2003 was $6.3 million, compared to $4.8 million for the corresponding period of fiscal year 2002. The effective income tax rates were 30% and 475% for the nine months ended July 4, 2003 and June 28, 2002, respectively. The change in income tax expense is primarily due to utilization of net operating loss carryforwards, which

and subsidiaries

(A wholly owned subsidiary of Communications & Power Industries Holding Corporation)

had a valuation allowance, and the sale of the Satcom manufacturing division to Communications & Power Industries Canada Inc. in fiscal year 2002. For fiscal years 2003 and 2002, income tax expense included a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets because of the uncertainty of realizing the deferred tax assets.

EBITDA. Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the first nine months of fiscal year 2003 was $36.9 million or 18.4% of sales, compared to $22.6 million, or 11.8% of sales, for the first nine months of fiscal year 2002. This increase in EBITDA can be attributed primarily to the improvement in gross margins as discussed above. While management considers EBITDA to be an important measure of comparative operating performance, it should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, operating income, net earnings (loss), cash flow and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. EBITDA does not reflect cash available to fund cash requirements, and the items excluded from EBITDA, such as depreciation and amortization, are significant components in assessing the Company’s financial performance. Other significant uses of cash flows are required before cash will be available to the Company, including debt service, taxes and cash expenditures for various long-term assets. The Company believes that EBITDA is also used by some investors as a measure of its ability to service indebtedness. The Company’s calculation of EBITDA may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. For a reconciliation of EBITDA to income before taxes, see Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Net Income (Loss). Net income was $14.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2003, compared to a net loss of $3.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2002. The increase in the Company’s net income from the first nine months of fiscal year 2002 can be attributed to improved operating income as discussed above and reduced interest expense resulting from lower outstanding debt and the realization of tax benefits from net operating losses and credit carryforwards that were reserved in prior years.

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 nine months of fiscal year 2003, CPI’s income before taxes was $21.7 million, which was approximately $0.5 million higher than Holding’s income before taxes of $21.2 million. As a result of the sale-leaseback transaction, operating costs for CPI were approximately $1.1 million higher than those of Holding primarily due to rental payments paid by CPI to Holding for use of the San Carlos facility. Interest expense, net, for CPI was approximately $1.5 million lower than that of Holding. The difference in interest expense related to Holding’s interest expense on the San Carlos facility mortgage and on the note payable to CPI from the sale-leaseback transaction. All other operations data for CPI is consistent with Holding’s operations data for the first nine months of fiscal year 2003.

Financial Condition

The Company continues to generate positive cash flow from operating activities with $27.6 million generated during first nine months of fiscal year 2003, compared to $36.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2002. In the first nine months of fiscal year 2003, the Company generated $18.7 million

- 25 -

COMMUNICATIONS & POWER INDUSTRIES HOLDING CORPORATION
and subsidiaries

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

more in operating cash flow from net income (loss) than for the same period in fiscal year 2002. The decrease in operating cash flow in the first nine months fiscal year 2003 compared to the same period in 2002 is primarily due to the significant reduction in accounts receivable and inventory in fiscal year 2002.

Investing activities were comprised of investment in property, plant and equipment totaling $1.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2003. Purchases of property, plant and equipment decreased approximately $0.8 million from the comparable period of fiscal year 2002. The Company currently anticipates that capital expenditure requirements for fiscal year 2003 will be approximately $3.0 million, which is approximately $0.4 million less than the amount spent in fiscal year 2002.

Financing activities during the first nine months of fiscal year 2003 were primarily related to a principal payment of $0.3 million made on the mortgage financing held by Holding related to the San Carlos facility and $0.3 million for debt issuance costs related to an amendment of the Company’s credit facility, as noted in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, and extension of the due date on the San Carlos facility mortgage, from June 1, 2003 to January 31, 2004, as noted in Note 10 of the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Holding’s short-term debt includes mortgage financing of $17.5 million with respect to Holding’s San Carlos facility. Restrictions in the Company’s Senior Subordinated Notes Indenture and in the Company’s credit facility prohibit CPI from distributing cash to Holding to satisfy this obligation. The mortgage due date was extended from June 1, 2003 to January 31, 2004 as noted in Note 10 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. Management expects to either refinance this obligation or to consummate a sale or other transaction with respect to the San Carlos property. Holding has entered into an agreement for the sale of the property. In addition to customary closing and due diligence conditions, the sale of the property is contingent upon completion of environmental remediation and demolition of existing structures, to be agreed upon by the parties. The purchaser has not completed or approved its due diligence investigations of the property, and there is no assurance that it will do so or that the other conditions to closing will be satisfied.

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 letter of credit guarantee expires in November 2003.

CPI’s financial condition differs from that of Holding in that CPI’s debt obligations and financing activities do not include $17.5 million of mortgage financing due in January 2004. 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 and a fixed annual rent of $2.45 million.

As of July 4, 2003, the Company had $28.4 million available under its revolving line of credit. However, 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 No. 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. SFAS No. 146 will be applied prospectively for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. Adoption of this Statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” SFAS No. 148 provides additional transition guidance for those entities that elect to voluntarily adopt the accounting provisions of SFAS No. 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 No. 148 will not have an effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, the Company has provided the additional disclosures required by SFAS No. 148 beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2003.

In November 2002, the FASB issued FIN 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” FIN 45 requires a guarantor to include disclosure of certain obligations, and if applicable, at the inception of the guarantee, recognize a liability for the fair value of other certain obligations undertaken in issuing a guarantee. The recognition requirement is effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” FIN 46 provides guidance for determining when an entity that is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or equivalent structure should consolidate the variable interest entity into the entity’s financial statements. The consolidation provisions of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and to existing entities in the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company does not believe that it has any variable interests that would qualify as a variable interest entity and therefore does not expect adoption of FIN 46 to have an effect on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 149 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS No. 150 requires that certain financial instruments, with characteristics of both liabilities and equity, be classified as liabilities in statements of financial position. The financial instruments affected include mandatorily redeemable stock, certain financial instruments that require or may require the issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for cash or other assets and certain obligations that can be settled with shares of stock. SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and must be applied to existing financial instruments at the beginning of the first fiscal period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 150 in its fourth quarter beginning July 5, 2003. The Company is currently analyzing this Statement and has not yet determined its impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

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.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s market risk disclosures set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2002, have not changed materially.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures with respect to the information generated for use in this report. Based upon, and as of the date of that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based upon the above evaluation, management believes that its controls do provide such reasonable assurances.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
