PART 1
ITEM 1: BUSINESS
GENERAL
Communications & Power Industries Holding Corporation ("Holding"), through its
wholly owned subsidiary, Communications & Power Industries, Inc. ("CPI", both
companies together referred to as the "Company"), is a world leader in the
development, manufacture and distribution of components for systems used
primarily to generate, amplify and transmit high-power/high-frequency microwave
and radio frequency signals. End-use applications of these systems include the
transmission and amplification of voice, data and video signals for
broadcasting, internet and telecommunications; transmission of radar signals for
navigation and location; transmission of false signals for electronic
countermeasures (e.g., decoys and signal "jammers"); and various other uses in
the industrial, medical and scientific markets.
The Company's products include microwave and power grid vacuum electronic
devices, microwave amplifiers, modulators, and various other power supply
equipment and devices. In Fiscal 1999, the Company added a line of solid-state
products including GaAs FET amplifiers, frequency converters and multiplier
amplifiers. The majority of the Company's products are consumable and have a
finite life. The Company operates six manufacturing operations in North America,
and sells and services its products and customers worldwide primarily through a
direct sales force.
CPI is a wholly owned subsidiary of Communications & Power Industries Holding
Corporation. Both Holding and CPI are Delaware corporations formed in 1995.
Prior to August 11, 1995, the Company's operations were part of the Electron
Devices Business (the "Predecessor") of Varian Associates, Inc. ("Varian"). The
principal executive offices of Holding and CPI are located at 811 Hansen Way,
Palo Alto, California 94303 and their telephone number is (650) 846-2900.
-1-
PRODUCTS
The Company offers a comprehensive range of microwave and power grid vacuum
electronic devices, microwave amplifiers, modulators and various other power
supply equipment and devices for use in the communications, radar, electronic
countermeasures, medical, industrial and scientific markets. The Company offers
over 6,800 products that generally have selling prices from $2,000 to $50,000,
with certain products ranging in price up to $1,000,000. Most of these products
are consumable and have a finite life based upon hours of usage, operating
environment and application. Certain of the Company's products are sold in more
than one market depending on the specific power and frequency requirements of
the end-user and the physical operating conditions of the environment in which
the vacuum electronic device will be located.
MARKETS
The Company operates in six different markets:
- - Communications Market - The communications market is comprised of
applications for satellite communications ("satcom"), wireless
point-to-point and point-to-multipoint radio and broadcast sectors. In this
market, the Company's products generate, amplify and transmit signals and
data within an overall communication system. Sales in the communications
market were $109.9 million in Fiscal 2001 compared to $87.8 million in
Fiscal 2000 and $105.4 million in Fiscal 1999.
- - Radar Market - The radar market includes microwave and power grid vacuum
electronic devices, amplifiers, receiver protectors and related equipment
for air, ground and shipboard radar systems. The Company's vacuum
electronic devices have been an integral component of radar systems for
over five decades. Sales in the radar market were $87.9 million in Fiscal
2001 compared to $90.8 million in Fiscal 2000, and $85.4 million in Fiscal
1999.
- - Electronic Countermeasures Market - The electronic countermeasures market
utilizes microwave vacuum electronic devices for systems that provide
protection for ships, aircraft and high-value land targets against
radar-guided munitions. Sales in the electronic countermeasures market were
$21.8 million, $21.9 million, and $19.4 million in Fiscal 2001, Fiscal
2000, and Fiscal 1999, respectively.
- - Medical Market - The Company participates in the diagnostic and treatment
sectors of the medical market. In the diagnostic market, the Company
provides x-ray generators, including state-of-the-art, high-efficiency,
lightweight power supplies and modern digital-based consoles for diagnostic
equipment. In the treatment market, the Company provides microwave
generators (klystrons) for high-end cancer therapy machines. Sales in this
market were $27.4 million, $20.9 million, and $20.5 million in Fiscal 2001,
Fiscal 2000, and Fiscal 1999, respectively.
- - Industrial Market - The industrial market includes applications for a wide
range of systems used for materials processing, instrumentation and voltage
generation. Sales in this market were $20.0 million, $17.5 million, and
$17.2 million in Fiscal 2001, Fiscal 2000, and Fiscal 1999, respectively.
- - Scientific Market - The scientific market consists primarily of equipment
utilized in reactor fusion programs and accelerators for high-energy
particle physics, referred to as "Big Science." Sales in the scientific
market were $5.5 million, $4.2 million, and $7.8 million in Fiscal 2001,
Fiscal 2000 and Fiscal 1999, respectively.
-2-
The Company's products have applications among both commercial and government
customers. The commercial sector represents all sales for which the U.S.
Government is not the end-user. However, the end-user markets identified above
are not categorized based upon whether they consist entirely of sales into
commercial or government sectors. Therefore, sales in any one of the Company's
markets may consist of sales to either commercial customers, the U.S.
Government, or both. The commercial sector contributed approximately $214.8
million or 78.8%, of the Company's total sales in Fiscal 2001 compared to $188.9
million, or 77.7% in Fiscal 2000, and approximately $199.7 million, or 78.1%, in
Fiscal 1999. U.S. Government sales, both direct and through original equipment
manufacturers ("OEMs"), contributed approximately $57.7 million or 21.2%, of the
Company's total sales in Fiscal 2001 compared to approximately $54.2 million, or
22.3%, in Fiscal 2000 and $56.0 million, or 21.9%, in Fiscal 1999. These
percentages reflect the Company's development of products for the commercial
marketplace. Since the late 1980s, the United States defense budget has been
shrinking; however, based on a stable trend of order receipts for spares and
upgrades from Fiscal 1995 to Fiscal 2001, management expects that U.S.
Government and defense-related end-users will continue to provide a steady
source of revenue.
In Fiscal 2001, approximately 67.0% of sales were derived from U.S. customers,
while approximately 33.0% were derived from international customers compared to
Fiscal 2000 where approximately 67.3% of sales were derived from the U.S. and
approximately 32.7% were from international customers. However, many domestic
OEMs, primarily those in the satcom market, export their products, and
management believes that some percentage of the Company's sales to U.S.
customers ultimately have international end-users. Excluding sales to the U.S.
Government, no single customer accounted for more than 5% of the Company's total
sales in Fiscal 2001, Fiscal 2000 or Fiscal 1999.
SALES, MARKETING AND SERVICE
As of September 28, 2001, the Company has over 150 direct sales, marketing and
technical support professionals representing the largest direct sales, service
and technical support organization focused exclusively on
high-power/high-frequency signal generation, amplification and transmission. The
Company's sales and service organization is supplemented by outside
representatives and a distributor, which service certain lower volume accounts.
Most of the Company's sales professionals are responsible for marketing the
Company's entire product line. Company sales professionals receive extensive
technical training in all of the Company's products, which allows them to
provide customers with appropriate technical support, including information on
product application and implementation.
In addition to its direct sales force, the Company utilizes over 35 external
sales organizations and one stocking distributor, Richardson Electronics, Ltd.,
to service the needs of low volume customers. The majority of the third-party
organizations that the Company utilizes are located outside the U.S. and focus
primarily on customers in South America, South East Asia, the Far East, the
Middle East, Africa and Eastern Europe. Through the use of third-party sales
organizations, the Company has been better able to meet the needs of its foreign
customers by establishing a local presence in lower volume markets.
The Company also has a specialized network of eleven factory service centers for
the satcom replacement market. These service centers are located in the United
States (California and New Jersey), Amsterdam, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia,
Japan, Russia, Singapore and South Africa.
-3-
MANUFACTURING
The Company manufactures its products within six manufacturing operations in
North America. The Company has implemented modern manufacturing methodologies
based upon "continuous improvement," including JIT materials handling, Demand
Flow Technology, Statistical Process Control and Value Managed Relationships
with suppliers and customers. The Company has achieved the ISO-9000
international certification standard.
Generally, each of the Company's manufacturing units use similar production
processes consisting of product development, purchasing, high level assembly and
test. For satcom equipment and solid-state devices, the process is primarily one
of integration and contract manufacturers are used whenever possible. Satcom
equipment utilizes both vacuum electronic devices ("VEDs") and solid-state
technology and, therefore, procures components from the Company's other
manufacturing units. For VEDs, the process starts with procurement of raw
material and sub-assemblies from qualified suppliers, who often deliver on a JIT
basis. Raw materials are then formed, primarily by machining, cleaning and
plating certain parts. These steps utilize statistical process control
techniques to assure quality and high production yields. Subassembly is then
performed to produce a vacuum envelope, the essential part of a vacuum
electronic device. This subassembly process is performed utilizing Demand Flow
Technology, which helps to minimize inventory. Vacuum assemblies are processed
by pumping the atmosphere from the assemblies while heating them in a furnace
and simultaneously stimulating them with an electrical current. When this step
is complete, final assembly and testing is performed on each product before
shipment. The Company has developed sophisticated test programs to assure that
each product meets operating specifications.
Certain materials necessary for the manufacture of the Company's products, such
as molybdenum, cupernickel, OFHC copper, and some cathodes, are obtained from
sole, or a limited group of, suppliers. In addition, prices of these raw
materials and key components are subject to fluctuation.
COMPETITION
The industries and markets in which the Company operates are highly competitive.
The Company encounters intense competition in most of its business areas from
numerous other companies (such as Northrop Grumman (formerly Litton), MM Tech
(formerly Marconi Applied Technologies, formerly EEV), Xicom and Thales
(formerly Thomson- CSF)), some of which have resources substantially greater
than those of the Company. Some of these competitors are also customers of the
Company. The Company's ability to compete in its markets depends to a large
extent on its ability to provide high quality products with shorter lead times
at competitive prices, and its readiness in facilities, equipment and personnel.
The Company must also continually engage in effective research and development
efforts in order to introduce innovative new products for technologically
sophisticated customers and markets. There is an inherent risk that advances in
existing technology, including solid-state technology, or the development of new
technology could adversely affect the Company's financial condition and results
of operations. Solid-state devices generally serve end-users' low-power
requirements, however, only microwave vacuum electronic devices currently serve
higher-power and higher-frequency demands. The laws of physics limit the ability
of solid-state technology to efficiently or cost effectively serve the
high-power/high-frequency applications of the Company's customers. These
applications' extreme operating parameters necessitate heat dissipation
capabilities that are best satisfied by the Company's vacuum electron device
products. The Company's management believes that each technology serves its own
niche without significant overlap.
-4-
BACKLOG
As of September 28, 2001, the Company had an order backlog of $151.5 million
compared to order backlog of $161.6 million as of September 29, 2000 and $146.4
million as of October 1, 1999. Backlog was unusually high in Fiscal 2000
primarily due to an order for $13.6 million related to the XM Radio satellite
service. Although the backlog consists of firm orders for which goods and
services are yet to be provided, these orders can be and sometimes are modified
or terminated. However, the amount of modifications and terminations has
historically not been material compared to total contract volume.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Company owns a number of United States and foreign patents having various
expiration dates (collectively, the "Patents"). The Patents are directed to
various aspects of the technologies used by the Company in many of its
operations. In addition to the Patents, the Company has certain trade secrets,
know-how, trademarks and copyrights related to its technology and products. The
Company also has acquired certain intellectual property rights and incurred
certain obligations through license and research and development agreements with
third parties. These agreements may include royalty-bearing licenses, technology
cross licenses and manufacturing supply agreements. Management does not believe
that any single patent or license is material to the success of the Company as a
whole. As a result of contracts with the U.S. Government which contain patent
and/or data rights clauses, the U.S. Government also has acquired royalty-free
licenses or other rights in inventions and technology resulting from certain
work done by the Company on behalf of the U.S. Government. The Company also has
certain software license agreements with vendors and suppliers which affect the
Company's intellectual property rights. The Company generally enters into
confidentiality agreements with its employees, consultants and vendors, and
generally limits access to and distribution of its proprietary information. The
Company maintains an intellectual property protection program designed to
preserve the intellectual property assets for the Company's future products.
This program includes the filing of new domestic and foreign patent
applications, copyright and trademark applications and the pursuit of
enforcement of its intellectual property rights. Nevertheless, there can be no
assurance that the steps taken by the Company will prevent misappropriation or
loss of its technology.
Six United States patents and one United States patent application, and their
foreign counterparts, are jointly owned by the Company and Varian along with
related trade secrets and know-how, including drawings, manufacturing and
testing processes and designs (the "Key Component Technology"). The Key
Component Technology relates to the manufacture and testing of certain key
electron beam guns and key medical klystrons, and any improvements thereto. In
August 1995, the Company and Varian entered into a Cross-License Agreement to
allocate the rights to the Key Component Technology between the Company and
Varian.
In addition, in August 1995, the Company and Varian entered into a Trademark
License Agreement that allows the Company to identify its products as "formerly
made by Varian" for a period of ten years.
-5-
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Company-sponsored research and development ("R&D") expense was approximately
$5.8 million, $8.7 million, and $9.0 million during Fiscal 2001, Fiscal 2000,
and Fiscal 1999, respectively. Research and development expenses decreased
during FY 2001 in the Satcom equipment segment as that segment's engineering
resources were predominantly focused on production ramp up issues rather than
new product development. Customer-sponsored R&D was approximately $5.0 million,
$6.5 million, and $8.6 million during Fiscal 2001, Fiscal 2000, and Fiscal 1999,
respectively. For customer-sponsored R&D, the costs were charged to cost of
sales to match revenue received.
EMPLOYEES
As of September 28, 2001, the Company had approximately 1,720 employees compared
to 1,650 employees as of September 29, 2000. None of the Company's employees is
subject to a collective bargaining agreement although a limited number of the
Company's sales force members located in Europe are members of work councils or
unions. The Company has not experienced any work stoppages and believes that it
has good relations with its employees.
Because of the specialized and technical nature of the Company's business, the
Company is highly dependent on the continued service of, and on its ability to
attract and retain qualified technical, marketing, sales and managerial
personnel. The competition for such personnel is intense, and the failure to
retain and/or recruit additional or substitute key personnel in a timely manner,
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and operating
results.
U.S. GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS AND REGULATIONS
Management expects that a significant portion of the Company's sales will
continue in the foreseeable future to result from contracts with the U.S.
Government, either directly or through prime contractors or subcontractors. The
Company's business with the U.S. Government is performed under fixed-price and,
to a lesser degree, cost-plus contracts. Fixed-price contracts accounted for
95.4% of the Company's U.S. Government sales in Fiscal 2001 and cost-plus
contracts accounted for 4.6% compared to Fiscal 2000's mix of approximately
91.6% fixed-price and approximately 8.4% cost-plus and Fiscal 1999's mix of
approximately 93% fixed-price and approximately 7% cost-plus.
Under fixed-price contracts, the Company agrees to perform certain work for a
fixed price and, accordingly, realizes all the benefit or detriment from
decreases or increases in the costs of performing the contract. In addition,
under U.S. Government regulations, certain costs, including certain financing
costs, portions of research and development costs, and certain expenses related
to the preparation of competitive bids and proposals and international sales are
not reimbursable. The U.S. Government also regulates the methods under which
costs are allocated to U.S. Government contracts.
U.S. Government contracts are, by their terms, subject to termination by the
U.S. Government either for its convenience or default by the contractor.
Cost-plus contracts provide that, upon termination, the contractor is generally
entitled to reimbursement of its incurred costs and, if the termination is for
convenience, a fee proportionate to the percentage of the work completed under
the contract is permitted. If the termination is for default, a contractor may
also receive a fee proportionate to any items delivered to and accepted by the
U.S. Government. Fixed-price contracts provide for payment upon termination for
items delivered to and accepted by the U.S. Government, and, if the termination
is for convenience, for reimbursement of its other incurred costs and a
reasonable profit on incurred costs. If a contract termination is for default,
however, (i) the contractor is paid an amount agreed upon for completed and
partially completed products and services accepted by the U.S. Government, (ii)
the U.S. Government is not liable for the contractor's incurred costs with
respect to unaccepted items, and is
-6-
entitled to repayment of advance payments and progress payments, if any, related
to the terminated portions of the contracts and (iii) the contractor may be
liable for excess costs incurred by the U.S. Government in procuring undelivered
items from another source.
In addition to the right of the U.S. Government to terminate, U.S. Government
contracts are conditioned upon the availability of congressional appropriations.
Congress usually appropriates funds for a given program on a fiscal year basis
even though contract performance may take many years. Consequently, at the
outset of a major program, multi-year contracts are usually funded for only the
first year (including any termination penalty), and additional monies are
normally committed to the contract by the procuring agency only as
appropriations are made by Congress for future fiscal years.
The Company's contracts with foreign governmental defense agencies are subject
to certain similar limitations and risks as those encountered with U.S.
Government contracts. Licenses are required from U.S. Government agencies to
export many of the Company's products. Certain of the Company's products are not
permitted to be exported.
Due to its business with the U.S. Government, the Company may also be subject to
"qui tam" (whistle blower) suits brought by private plaintiffs in the name of
the U.S. Government upon the allegation that the Company submitted a false claim
to the U.S. Government, as well as to false claim suits brought by the U.S.
Government. A judgment against the Company in a qui tam or false claim suit
could cause the Company to be liable for substantial damages and could carry
penalties of suspension or debarment which would make the Company ineligible to
be awarded any U.S. Government contracts for a period of up to three years and,
thereby, could potentially have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition and results of operations.
Similar to other companies that derive a substantial portion of their sales from
contracts with the U.S. Government for defense-related products, the Company is
subject to business risks, including changes in governmental appropriations,
national defense policies or regulations and availability of funds. Any of these
factors could adversely affect the Company's business with the U.S. Government
in the future.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company is subject to a variety of federal, state and local environmental
laws and regulations and utilizes in its operations a number of chemicals or
similar substances that are classified as hazardous. Management believes that
the Company's current operations are in substantial compliance with current
environmental laws and regulations. However, changes in law or limitations on
chemical uses or certain manufacturing processes could restrict the ability of
the Company to operate in the manner in which the Company is currently operated
or is permitted to be operated. In addition, it is possible that the Company may
experience releases of certain chemicals or other events that could cause the
incurrence of material cleanup costs or other damages. The Company is involved
from time to time in legal proceedings involving compliance with environmental
requirements applicable to its ongoing operations, and may be involved in legal
proceedings involving regulatory compliance, exposure to chemicals or the
remediation of environmental contamination.
Varian has agreed to indemnify the Company for environmental claims arising from
the Predecessor's operations (including pre-existing contamination) prior to
August 11, 1995, subject to certain exceptions and limitations. Environmental
investigation and remedial work is being undertaken by Varian, pursuant to the
agreement between CPI and Varian dated August 11, 1995, at two of the Company's
manufacturing facilities, Palo Alto and Beverly, and the San Carlos and
Georgetown facilities also have soil and groundwater contamination which may
require remediation. The Company subleases a portion
-7-
of the larger Varian Palo Alto campus, as to which Varian has entered into a
Consent Order with the California Environmental Protection Agency for
remediation of soil and groundwater contamination. The Palo Alto site also abuts
a federal Superfund site and a state Superfund site. Varian also has been sued
or threatened with suit with respect to some of the Company's facilities. Since
the consummation of the acquisition, Varian has at its expense conducted all
required investigation and remediation work at the Company's facilities arising
from the Predecessor's operations.
Although the Company believes that Varian currently has sufficient financial
resources to satisfy its environmental indemnification obligations to the
Company, because of the long-term nature of Varian's remediation obligations,
there can be no assurance that Varian will continue to have the financial
resources to comply fully with its indemnification obligations to the Company.
Unreimbursed liabilities arising from environmental claims, if significant,
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and
financial condition.
With certain limited exceptions, the Company is not indemnified by Varian for
environmental claims arising from the Company's operations after August 11,
1995. There can be no assurance that material costs or liabilities will not be
incurred by the Company in connection with proceedings or claims related to
environmental conditions arising from the Company's operations.
ITEM 2: PROPERTIES
The Company owns, leases or subleases manufacturing, assembly, warehouse,
service and office properties having an aggregate floor space of approximately
1,107,641 square feet, of which approximately 33,279 square feet are leased or
subleased to third parties. The table that follows provides summary information
regarding principal properties owned or leased by the Company:

operation from Palo Alto, California to its facility in Ontario, Canada. The
move is expected to be substantially complete in the first quarter of Fiscal
2002. Also in Fiscal 2001, the Company relocated its administrative offices into
a single building in Palo Alto and is actively looking for tenants to sublease
the additional 52,300 square feet of office space.
-8-
CPI's lenders under its secured credit facility, have the right to a security
interest in all of the Company's interest in the real property that it owns and
leases excluding its San Carlos, California real property. On December 22, 2000,
a sale-leaseback transaction related to CPI's facilities in San Carlos was
accomplished between CPI and Holding. Holding paid CPI aggregate consideration
of $23.0 million for the San Carlos real estate, consisting of $17.25 million in
cash and an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $5.75 million
maturing in nine years, with interest-only payments on a quarterly basis at the
rate of 15.5% per annum, with up to 35.25% of each interest payment payable in
kind, at Holding's option, by its issuance of additional notes. CPI and Holding
entered into a lease of the San Carlos real property for a term of twenty (20)
years on a net basis with a fixed annual rent (payable in equal monthly
installments) of $2.45 million. Holding financed the cash portion of the San
Carlos purchase price and its fees and expenses with respect to the transaction
by borrowing $18.0 million from Wells Fargo Bank, which loan matures June 1,
2002, bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.25% and is secured on a non-recourse basis
(subject to normal and customary exceptions) by the San Carlos real property.
The Company's headquarters and one principal complex, including two of the
Company's manufacturing facilities, located at the Palo Alto, California site
adjacent to Varian's world headquarters and primary manufacturing facilities,
are leased by way of assignment or subleased from Varian. Therefore, the
Company's occupancy rights are dependent on Varian's fulfillment of its
responsibilities to the master lessor, including its obligation to continue
environmental remediation activities under a consent order with the California
Environmental Protection Agency. The consequences of the loss by the Company of
such occupancy rights could include the loss of valuable improvements and
favorable lease terms, the incurrence of substantial relocation expenses and the
disruption of the Company's business operations.
ITEM 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is involved from time to time in various legal proceedings and is
the subject of various cost accounting and other government pricing claims.
Pursuant to the agreement between CPI and Varian dated August 11, 1995, Varian
has agreed to indemnify the Company against liabilities arising from litigation
and governmental claims pertaining to the operation of the Predecessor prior to
August 11, 1995. Accordingly, management believes that litigation and
governmental claims pending against Varian and relating to the operation of the
Predecessor prior to August 1995, will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations. See "Business -
Environmental Matters."
ITEM 4: SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of Fiscal 2001.

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion reflects the consolidated results of Communications &
Power Industries Holding Corporation, which are materially consistent with those
of CPI except as identified below and should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto:
OVERVIEW
The Company serves the communications, radar, electronic countermeasures,
medical, industrial 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 these end markets in order
to more clearly relate its business to outside investors. Internally, however,
the Company is organized into six 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 and its solid-state products segment. Segment
data is included in Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Orders for Fiscal 2001 were higher than any year since 1997 at $266.5 million.
This level is $6.3 million, or 2.4% higher than the $260.2 million in Fiscal
2000 and reflects increased orders in the radar and medical markets offset in
part by a decrease in the communications market. Order receipts for the
Company's communications products were $93.9 million, a decrease of $12.7
million, or 11.9%, from the prior fiscal year due principally to a non-recurring
$13.6 million order for XM Radio in Fiscal 2000. Medical orders were $31.5
million in Fiscal 2001, an increase of $9.5 million or 43.2% from Fiscal 2000.
The increased orders relate to medical klystrons used in medical accelerators
manufactured by Varian Medical as well as orders for x-ray subsystems produced
by the Company's Canadian facility. Radar orders were $95.7 million, an increase
of $7.9 million or 9.1% from $87.8 million in Fiscal 2000. The increase reflects
increased spares buys by the U.S. Navy as well as a large order from the Army
for klystrons. Electronic countermeasures orders were $21.9 million, an increase
of $1.1 million or 5.1% from the prior year. Industrial orders were $17.2
million, flat from Fiscal 2000. Orders for products sold to the scientific
market, the Company's smallest market, increased slightly by $0.3 million or
5.8%, for a total of $6.3 million in Fiscal 2001. Nevertheless, incoming order
levels fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis and a particular year's
order rate may not be indicative of future order levels. In addition, the
Company's sales are highly dependent upon manufacturing scheduling and
performance and, accordingly, it is not possible to accurately predict when
orders will be recognized as sales.
Sales for Fiscal 2001 were $272.5 million compared to sales of $243.1 million in
Fiscal 2000, an increase of $29.5 million or 12.1%. This increase was primarily
related to higher sales of products used in the satcom portion of the Company's
communications market including sales of the Company's new Gen IV product line
and sales of units for the XM Radio project.
-13-
Looking forward, orders are expected to be down from Fiscal 2001 levels. The
commercial communications market is forecasted to be down from last year's level
due to the reduction in capital expenditures by the Company's customers
resulting from the current worldwide economic slowdown. The medical, industrial
and scientific markets are expected to be relatively flat from Fiscal 2001.
However, sale of VEDs into the radar and electronic countermeasures markets may
see some positive impact from the recent global events, specifically in the
defense spares business and products used for cold sterilization. The exact
affect, however, is difficult to predict at this time.

Fiscal 2001 Compared to Fiscal 2000
SALES. Sales for Fiscal 2001 of $272.5 million were $29.5 million, or 12.1%,
higher than the prior year level of $243.1 million due primarily to increases in
products sold to the Company's communications market. Communications sales were
$109.8 million, an increase of $22.0 million, or 25.1% from Fiscal 2000 sales of
$87.8 million. Sales of products in the medical market were $27.4 million, up
$6.5 million or 31.4% from Fiscal 2000 sales of $20.8 million. This increase was
driven primarily by the Company's new line of generators used in x-ray
applications. Industrial and scientific sales were $20.0 million and $5.5
million, respectively, which represents an increase of $2.5 million and $1.4
million, respectively, over Fiscal 2000. Radar sales, on the other hand,
decreased $2.9 million, or 3.2%, to $87.9 million in Fiscal 2001 compared to
$90.8 million in Fiscal 2000. Sales of products to the Company's electronic
countermeasures market of $21.9 million in Fiscal 2001 were consistent with the
Fiscal 2000 level.
COST OF SALES. Cost of sales in Fiscal 2001 were $223.3 million, or 82.0% of
sales, compared to $188.7 million, or 77.7% of sales in Fiscal 2000. This
increase in cost of $34.6 million, or 18.3%, was attributable to higher volume,
higher start-up and warranty costs on several new satcom products, increased
provisions for potentially excess and obsolete inventories and to increases in
energy related costs at the Company's California operations. The increase in
provisions for excess and obsolete
-14-
inventories includes $3.4 million which was recorded in the fourth quarter
related to products or product lines which management has determined, in light
of recent economic conditions and the transfer of the Satcom Division's
production to Canada, are unlikely to be saleable.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. R&D expenses in Fiscal 2001 decreased by $2.9 million
to $5.8 million, or 2.1% of sales, compared to Fiscal 2000's level of $8.7
million, or 3.6% of sales. The decrease is attributable to lower research and
development costs in the satcom equipment segment as that segment's engineering
resources were predominantly focused on production ramp-up issues rather than
new product development.
SELLING, MARKETING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, marketing, general and
administrative expenses in Fiscal 2001 were $38.6 million, or 14.1% of sales, as
compared to $37.3 million, or 15.3% of sales, in Fiscal 2000. Selling and
marketing costs decreased approximately $1.0 million in Fiscal 2001 due
primarily to reductions at the Satcom division for Marcom advertising and
personnel. The decrease in marketing and selling costs were partially offset by
a $2.3 million increase in general and administrative costs. The increase is
associated with certain consolidation activities including the relocation of the
Satcom Division's production from Palo Alto, California to the Company's
facility in Ontario, Canada, and the relocation of the Company's administrative
offices into a single building in Palo Alto. General and administrative
costs-to-date attributable to these consolidation efforts were approximately
$3.7 million. Excluding the effects of the Company's consolidation efforts,
operating costs as a percentage of sales for Fiscal 2001 were 12.8% compared to
15.3% for the same period of Fiscal 2000 reflecting the impact of cost-cutting
measures in effect throughout the Company.
EBITDA. EBITDA was $18.2 million, or 6.7% of sales in Fiscal 2001 compared to
EBITDA of $23.6 million, or 9.7% of sales, in Fiscal 2000. Fiscal 2001 EBITDA
declined by $5.4 million primarily due to costs incurred associated with the
Company's consolidation activities.
NET LOSS. Net loss before taxes and preferred dividends was $15.9 million for
Fiscal 2001 compared to a net loss before taxes and preferred dividends of $10.4
million for Fiscal 2000. Net loss after taxes but before preferred dividends was
$18.8 million for Fiscal 2001, a decline of $7.3 million compared to losses of
$11.6 million for Fiscal 2000. In spite of a consolidated pretax loss, a
provision for income tax expense was booked in Fiscal 2001 based on the net
impact of federal alternative minimum tax, profitability in most foreign
operations, the release of amounts previously accrued for potential examinations
by tax authorities, and deferred income tax expense resulting from a decrease in
deferred tax assets. The Fiscal 2000 provision for income tax expense was
primarily due to the fact that most foreign operations were profitable.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HOLDING AND CPI. In Fiscal 2001, CPI's net loss before taxes
was $14.8 million, which was approximately $1.1 million lower than Holdings' net
loss before taxes. This difference is attributable to the sale-leaseback
transaction between CPI and Holding which took place in December 2000. As a
result of this transaction, operating costs for CPI were approximately $1.0
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 sales-leaseback and additional depreciation on the San
Carlos facility. Interest expense, net, for CPI was approximately $2.0 million
lower than that of Holding. The decrease primarily relates to the fact that
Holding's interest expense figure includes interest paid on the mortgage
financing of the San Carlos facility. In addition, interest income from Holding
of $0.7 million related to an intercompany receivable is included in CPI's
results, but is eliminated upon consolidation for Holding. All other operations
data for CPI is consistent with Holding's for Fiscal 2001.
-15-
Fiscal 2000 Compared to Fiscal 1999
SALES. Sales for Fiscal 2000 of $243.1 million were $12.6 million, or 4.9%,
below the prior year level of $255.7 million as declines in products sold to the
Company's communications and scientific markets were partially offset by
increases in sales of products to radar, electronic countermeasures, medical and
industrial markets. Communications sales were $87.8 million in Fiscal 2000,
which represents a decline of $17.6 million, or 16.7% from Fiscal 1999 sales of
$105.4 million. Sales of products to the scientific market were approximately
$4.2 million, down $3.6 million, or 46.7%, from Fiscal 1999 sales of $7.8
million. Radar sales, on the other hand, increased $5.4 million, or 6.3%, to
$90.8 million in Fiscal 2000 compared to $85.4 million in Fiscal 1999. Also on
the upside, sales of products to the Company's electronic countermeasures market
of $21.9 million in Fiscal 2000 reflects an increase of $2.5 million, or 12.7%,
from Fiscal 1999 as expendable decoy products continue to gain increasing
attention from military customers as a cost effective means of protecting
personnel and hardware. Medical and Industrial sales were $20.9 million and
$17.5 million, respectively, which represents an increase of $0.4 million and
$0.3 million, respectively, over Fiscal 1999.
COST OF SALES. Cost of sales in Fiscal 2000 were $188.7 million, or 77.7% of
sales, compared to $199.6 million, or 78.1% of sales in Fiscal 1999. This
decrease in cost of $10.9 million, or 5.5%, was primarily due to lower volume.
Adjusting Fiscal 1999 to exclude the unfavorable impact of one-time charges of
approximately $6.2 million (charges related to changes in estimated
costs-to-complete for certain contracts due to technical complexity, write-off
of certain excess inventory and discontinuation of a satcom product line),
adjusted cost of sales in Fiscal 1999 were $193.4 million, or 75.6% of sales.
Excluding these one-time charges, cost of sales in Fiscal 2000 actually
increased as a percentage of sales from adjusted Fiscal 1999 due in part to
higher depreciation costs ($10.4 million in Fiscal 2000 compared to $9.3 million
in Fiscal 1999) and in part to the mix of new products with inherently higher
costs at the early stages of their learning curve. Cost of sales in Fiscal 2000
were also unfavorably impacted by higher material costs that resulted from
expediting part shortages during the implementation of new business systems in
the early part of the fiscal year.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. R&D expenses in Fiscal 2000 decreased by $0.3 million
to $8.7 million, or 3.6% of sales, compared to Fiscal 1999's level of $9.0
million, or 3.5% of sales. The Company's internal R&D efforts remained high as a
percentage of sales primarily to focus on meeting the needs of its satcom
market.
SELLING, MARKETING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, marketing, general and
administrative expenses in Fiscal 2000 were $37.3 million, or 15.3% of sales, as
compared to $38.3 million, or 15.0% of sales, in Fiscal 1999. Selling and
marketing costs decreased $1.1 million in Fiscal 2000 due to lower international
selling expenses related to lower international sales, and a reduction in
marketing costs due to the consolidation of the Traveling Wave Technology (TWT)
Division into the Microwave Power Products (MPP) Division in the second half of
Fiscal 1999. General and administrative (G&A) costs appear consistent with
Fiscal 1999; however, Fiscal 1999 included one-time charges to G&A of $1.2
million related to severance costs and settlement costs related to a product
performance dispute. The increase in G&A, excluding the one-time charges, is due
primarily to higher depreciation costs for new management information systems
and the use of outside consultants in the implementation of these systems.
EBITDA. EBITDA was $23.6 million, or 9.7% of sales, in Fiscal 2000 compared to
EBITDA of $22.5 million, or 8.8% of sales, in Fiscal 1999. Adjusting Fiscal 1999
to exclude the unfavorable impact of one-time charges of an aggregate $7.4
million (see discussion under "Cost of Sales" and "Selling, Marketing, General
and Administrative" sections above), adjusted EBITDA for Fiscal 1999 was
-16-
approximately $30.0 million, or 11.7% of sales. Fiscal 2000 EBITDA actually
declined by $6.3 million compared to adjusted Fiscal 1999 due primarily to lower
sales volume and shifts in product mix towards lower margin new products.
NET LOSS. Net loss before taxes and preferred dividends was $10.4 million for
Fiscal 2000 compared to a net loss before taxes and preferred dividends of $9.1
million for Fiscal 1999. Net loss after taxes but before preferred dividends was
$11.6 million for Fiscal 2000, a decline of $1.9 million compared to losses of
$9.7 million for Fiscal 1999. In spite of a consolidated pretax loss, a
provision for income tax expense was booked in both Fiscal 2000 and Fiscal 1999
due to the fact that most foreign operations were profitable.
FINANCIAL CONDITION OF HOLDING
Net cash provided from operating activities was $1.7 million in Fiscal 2001,
$9.9 million in Fiscal 2000 and $6.3 million in Fiscal 1999. The decrease in
cash provided by operating activities in Fiscal 2001 is due primarily to lower
earnings as a result of the Company's consolidation efforts and higher start-up
and warranty costs on several new satcom products, increases in receivables due
to higher sales and decreases in accounts payable, offset in part by decreases
in deferred tax assets and inventories.
Investing activities were comprised principally of investment in property, plant
and equipment totaling $5.8 million in Fiscal 2001, $5.3 million in Fiscal 2000,
and $8.3 million in Fiscal 1999. Included in the $5.8 million of capital
expenditures for Fiscal 2001 is approximately $1.4 million related to the
Company's consolidation activities. This use of cash was offset in part by
proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment of $1.9 million, the
majority of which related to the sale of rental property at the Company's
Beverly, Massachusetts facility. The Company's investment in plant and equipment
in Fiscal 2001 and Fiscal 2000 were lower than historical levels due to cost
control measures implemented by the Company during the second half of Fiscal
2000. The Company's continuing operations typically do not have large capital
requirements. Capital expenditures are generally made to replace existing
assets, increase productivity, facilitate cost reductions or meet regulatory
requirements. The Company expects the level of capital expenditures in Fiscal
2002 to be relatively consistent with Fiscal 2000 and 2001 levels and estimates
approximately $4.5 million of capital spending will be required by normal
operations in Fiscal 2002.
Financing activities during Fiscal 2001 were related almost entirely to
repayments of the CPI's Senior Credit Agreement and proceeds from a new $61.0
million secured credit facility ("Credit Facility") dated December 22, 2000.
This new facility consists of a $41.0 million revolving line of credit, with a
sub-facility of $10.0 million for letters of credit, which expires December 22,
2004, and a $20.0 million term loan that expires December 22, 2002. The Credit
Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of CPI and is guaranteed
by Holding and all of CPI's subsidiaries. Availability under the revolving
credit facility is based upon eligible receivables, machinery and equipment and
certain real estate.
Also on December 22, 2000, a sale-leaseback transaction related to CPI's
facilities in San Carlos was accomplished between CPI and Holding. Holding paid
CPI aggregate consideration of $23.0 million for the San Carlos real estate,
consisting of $17.25 million in cash and an unsecured promissory note in the
principal amount of $5.75 million maturing in nine years, with interest-only
payments on a quarterly basis at the rate of 15.5% per annum, with up to 35.25%
of each interest payment payable in kind, at Holding's option, by its issuance
of additional notes. CPI and Holding entered into a lease of the San Carlos real
property for a term of twenty (20) years on a net basis with a fixed annual rent
(payable in equal monthly installments) of $2.45 million. Holding financed the
cash portion of the San Carlos purchase price and its fees and expenses with
respect to the transaction by borrowing $18.0 million from Wells Fargo Bank,
which loan matures June 1, 2002, bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.25% and is
secured
-17-
on a non-recourse basis (subject to normal and customary exceptions) by the San
Carlos real property.
In a further effort to provide capital and liquidity in the long term and in an
effort to decrease production costs and more efficiently use the Company's
facilities, the Company approved a plan to relocate its Satcom Division's
production operation from Palo Alto, California to its facility in Ontario,
Canada. The move is expected to be substantially complete during the first
quarter of Fiscal 2002 with remaining spending of approximately $1.0 million.
Also during Fiscal 2001, the Company relocated its administrative offices into a
single building in Palo Alto and is actively looking for tenants to sublease
52,300 square feet of office space.
As discussed above, the Company's short-term debt includes mortgage financing of
$18.0 million with Wells Fargo Bank that expires on June 1, 2002. Management
expects that cash to be generated by operations and borrowing under its Credit
Facility in conjunction with either extending or finding alternative
collateral-based financing by June 1, 2002 will allow it to meet the mortgage
obligation. In addition, the Company recently received a bid for its property in
San Carlos for an amount in excess of its existing mortgage which would allow
the Company to continue to operate on this property on a leaseback basis.
Although this specific bid was turned down, the Company believes a sale of the
San Carlos property could be a viable alternative if necessary to meet cash
requirements in the future.
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, negotiating an
increase to the Company's borrowing capacity under its line of credit, and
selling and leasing back its facility in San Carlos, California in a transaction
with an outside party.
FINANCIAL CONDITION OF CPI
Net cash provided from operating activities was $2.0 million in Fiscal 2001,
$9.9 million in Fiscal 2000 and $6.3 million in Fiscal 1999. The decrease in
cash provided by operating activities in Fiscal 2001 is due primarily to lower
earnings as a result of the Company's consolidation efforts and higher start-up
and warranty costs on several new satcom products, increases in receivables due
to higher sales and decreases in accounts payable, offset in part by decreases
in deferred tax assets and inventories.
Net cash provided by investing activities were $13.4 million principally due to
proceeds from the sale by CPI of the San Carlos, California facility to Holding
of $17.3 million and the sale of rental property at the Company's Beverly,
Massachusetts facility of $1.9 million. These proceeds were offset by investment
in property, plant and equipment totaling $5.8 million in Fiscal 2001, $5.3
million in Fiscal 2000, and $8.3 million in Fiscal 1999. Included in the $5.8
million of capital expenditures for Fiscal 2001 is approximately $1.4 million
related to the Company's consolidation activities. The Company's investment in
plant and equipment in Fiscal 2001 and Fiscal 2000 were lower than historical
levels due to cost control measures implemented by the Company during the second
half of Fiscal 2000. The Company's continuing operations typically do not have
large capital requirements. Capital expenditures are generally made to replace
existing assets, increase productivity, facilitate cost reductions or meet
regulatory requirements. The Company expects the level of capital expenditures
in Fiscal 2002 to be relatively consistent with Fiscal 2000 and 2001 levels and
estimates approximately $4.5 million of capital spending will be required by
normal operations in Fiscal 2002.
Financing activities during Fiscal 2001 were related almost entirely to
repayments of the Company's Senior Credit Agreement and proceeds from a new
$61.0 million secured credit facility ("Credit
-18-
Facility") dated December 22, 2000. This new facility consists of a $41.0
million revolving line of credit, with a sub-facility of $10.0 million for
letters of credit, which expires December 22, 2004, and a $20.0 million term
loan that expires December 22, 2002. The Credit Facility is secured by
substantially all of the assets of CPI and is guaranteed by Holding and all of
CPI's subsidiaries. Availability under the revolving credit facility is based
upon eligible receivables, machinery and equipment and certain real estate.
In a further effort to provide capital and liquidity in the long term and in an
effort to decrease production costs and more efficiently use the Company's
facilities, the Company approved a plan to relocate its Satcom Division's
production operation from Palo Alto, California to its facility in Ontario,
Canada. The move is expected to be substantially complete during the first
quarter of Fiscal 2002 with remaining spending of approximately $1.0 million.
Also during Fiscal 2001, the Company relocated its administrative offices into a
single building in Palo Alto and is actively looking for tenants to sublease
52,300 square feet of office space.
As discussed above, CPI's parent has mortgage financing of $18.0 million with
Wells Fargo Bank that expires on June 1, 2002. Management expects that cash to
be generated by operations and borrowing under its Credit Facility in
conjunction with either extending or finding alternative collateral-based
financing by June 1, 2002 will allow it to meet the mortgage obligation. In
addition, the Company recently received a bid for its property in San Carlos for
an amount in excess of its existing mortgage which would allow the Company to
continue to operate on this property on a leaseback basis. Although this
specific bid was turned down, the Company believes this is another viable
alternative if necessary to meet cash requirements in the future.
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, negotiating an
increase to the Company's borrowing capacity under its line of credit, and
selling and leasing back the facility in San Carlos, California, owned by its
parent, in a transaction with an outside party.
Market Risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its outstanding debt, as well as
foreign currency exchange rate risk inherent in its sales commitments, and
non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities. The Company regularly
assesses the potential impact of these risks and therefore does not anticipate
any material losses in these areas. The Company does not use derivative
financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
The Company has outstanding debt associated with its purchase of the Electron
Device Business of Varian in August 1995, the majority of which relates to the
Senior Subordinated Notes, which mature in 2005 and bear a fixed interest rate
of 12 percent per annum. The remaining debt, with a carrying value of
approximately $59.3 million at September 28, 2001, is subject to changes in the
Prime or LIBOR Rates. To reduce the Company's exposure to interest rate risk,
the Company consistently monitors available money rates accessible under its
credit facility and will lock in rates for specific periods of time.
The majority of the Company's revenue and expense activities are transacted in
U.S. dollars. However, CPI does enter into these transactions in other
currencies, primarily the Canadian dollar, the British pound, the German mark,
the Australian dollar and the French and Swiss franc. The Company limits its
foreign currency exposure primarily through natural hedging (offsetting foreign
currency payables with foreign currency receivables), but may enter into forward
contracts if necessary. These efforts reduce,
-19-
but do not eliminate the impact of foreign currency rate movements.
The Company performed a sensitivity analysis in which it assessed the potential
loss in future earnings from the impact of a 10 percent adverse movement in
interest and foreign currency exchange rates on outstanding debt and non-U.S.
dollar denominated assets and liabilities. The impact was determined based on
the hypothetical change from shifts in the market rates over a period of one
year. Other market sensitive financial instruments were not included in the
analysis as they were not material. In terms of interest rate risk, a 10 percent
adverse movement in the Base Rate or Effective Rate on the Company's variable
rate debt would result in a decrease in future earnings of less than $0.3
million. In terms of foreign currency exchange rate risk, a 10 percent adverse
movement in the levels of foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S.
dollar with all other variables held constant would have virtually no effect on
future earnings as foreign payable and receivable balances have similar values,
minimizing the foreign exchange exposure. Actual results, however, could differ
materially.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
141, "Business Combinations." Under SFAS No. 141, entities are required to
account for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 using one
method, the purchase method. The Company adopted SFAS No. 141 on July 1, 2001.
The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets." SFAS No. 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired
goodwill and other intangible assets. SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for
goodwill from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Goodwill
will be tested annually and whenever events or circumstances occur indicating
that goodwill might be impaired. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, amortization of
goodwill recorded for business combinations consummated prior to July 1, 2001
will cease, and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001 that do not
meet the criteria for recognition under SFAS No. 141 will be reclassified to
goodwill. Companies are required to adopt SFAS No. 142 for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001, but early adoption is permitted. The Company
disclosed plans for early adoption in its third quarter 10-Q, however, due to
uncertainties involved in implementation, the Company has decided to forgo early
adoption and plans to adopt this Statement beginning in the first quarter of
Fiscal 2003.
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligation" (SFAS No. 143). SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2002, and will require companies to record a liability for asset
retirement obligations in the period in which they are incurred, which typically
could be upon completion or shortly thereafter. The FASB decided to limit the
scope to legal obligation and the liability will be recorded at fair value. The
Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 143 to have a material effect on
its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
-20-
In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (SFAS No. 144). 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 does not expect the adoption of SFAS 144 to have a
material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations,
or cash flows.
Risk Factors
You should carefully consider the following risks 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. The risks and
uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing the Company.
Additional risks and uncertainties may also adversely impact and impair the
Company's business. If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company's
business, results of operations, or financial condition would likely suffer. In
such case, the trading price of the Company's capital stock and senior
subordinated notes could decline and you may lose all or part of your
investment.
- - The Company has had historical losses. The Company has had operating losses
for the past three fiscal years, and has an accumulated deficit, as of
September 28, 2001, of $75.6 million. The Company's ability to generate
revenues and profits is subject to the risks and uncertainties encountered
by companies in very competitive markets.
- - The Company's leverage is substantial, which could adversely affect its
financial health and ability to obtain financing in the future and react to
changes in its business. The Company has a significant amount of debt,
which could make it more difficult for the Company to satisfy its
obligations under its credit facilities. It could also require the Company
to dedicate a substantial portion of its cash flow from operations to
payments on debt, which will reduce the funds available for working
capital, capital expenditures, and other general corporate expenses. In
addition, it could have the effect of limiting the Company's flexibility in
planning for, or reacting to, changes in its business and the markets in
which it competes.
- - The Company's ability to generate the significant amount of cash needed to
service its debt and grow its business depends on many factors beyond the
Company's control. The Company's ability to make payments on its debt and
to fund its planned capital expenditures will depend on its ability to
generate cash and to secure financing in the future. This, to a certain
extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive,
legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond the Company's control. If
the business does not generate sufficient cash flow from operations, and
sufficient future borrowings are not available to the Company under its
credit facilities or from other sources of financing, the Company may not
be able to repay its debt, grow its business or fund its other liquidity
needs.
- - The markets in which the Company operates are competitive. The Company
encounters competition in certain business areas from other companies, some
of which have resources substantially greater than those of the Company.
The Company's ability to compete in such markets depends to a large extent
on its ability to provide high quality products with shorter lead times at
competitive prices, and its readiness in facilities, equipment and
personnel.
- - Certain markets in which the Company operates are subject to technological
change. The Company must continually engage in effective research and
development efforts in order to introduce innovative new products for
technologically sophisticated customers and markets. There is an
-21-
inherent risk that advances in existing technology, including solid-state
technology, or the development of new technology could adversely affect the
Company's financial condition and results of operations. The Company's
success will depend on its ability to anticipate or adapt to new technology
on a timely basis, and if it fails to adapt successfully to technological
changes or fails to obtain access to important technologies, the business
will suffer.
- - Changes to governmental environmental regulation and legislation could
adversely affect the Company's business. The Company is subject to a
variety of federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations and
utilizes in its operations a number of chemicals or similar substances that
are classified as hazardous. Management believes that the Company's current
operations are in substantial compliance with current environmental laws
and regulations. However, changes in law or limitations on chemical uses or
certain manufacturing processes could restrict the ability of the Company
to operate in the manner in which the Company is currently operated or is
permitted to be operated. In addition, it is possible that the Company may
experience releases of certain chemicals or other events that could cause
the incurrence of material cleanup costs or other damages.
- - A portion of the Company's sales are, and are expected to continue to be,
from contracts through the United States Government, which are subject to
Government regulation, changes in Governmental appropriations, national
defense policies and availability of government funds. United States
Government contracts are conditioned upon the availability of congressional
appropriations. Congress usually appropriates funds for a given program on
a fiscal year basis even though contract performance may take many years.
Consequently, at the outset of a major program, multi-year contracts are
usually funded for only the first year, and additional monies are normally
committed to the contract by the procuring agency only as appropriations
are made by Congress for future fiscal years. Government contracts are, by
their terms, subject to termination by the United States Government at its
convenience or by default of the contractor. Changes in governmental
regulation or congressional appropriation could negatively impact the
Company's revenues.
- - The Company depends on a limited group of suppliers for certain materials
necessary for the manufacture of its products. If the Company is unable to
procure the necessary materials from its suppliers, its ability to
manufacture products could be severely impaired, and the Company's growth,
financial condition and results of operations could suffer. In addition,
the prices of these raw materials are subject to fluctuation and could also
negatively impact the Company's financial condition.
- - The Company's principal common stockholders can exercise significant
control over the Company and could limit the ability of the Company's other
stockholders to influence the outcome of transactions requiring shareholder
vote. As of December 7, 2001, approximately 76% of the Company's
outstanding common stock is owned by the Company's executive officers,
directors and principal stockholders. These stockholders will have the
ability to exercise influence over all matters requiring approval by the
Company's stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of
significant corporate transactions.

significant as the value of the Company's common stock at the end of Fiscal
2001, as determined by the Board of Directors, has not changed significantly

HOLDING'S 2000 STOCK OPTION PLAN
In March 2000, Holding established the Communications & Power Industries 2000
Stock Option Plan ("the Plan") and reserved 250,000 shares of Holding's common
stock for issuance under the Plan. Options granted under Holding's stock option
plan are granted at fair market value, expire ten years from the date of grant
and generally vest in four equal annual installments, commencing one year from
the date of grant. The stock options granted pursuant to this Plan are not
considered "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code, as amended and are subject to all of the terms and
restrictions contained in the Stock Option and Stockholders Agreements. As of
the fiscal year ended September 28, 2001, Holding granted options to purchase
235,050 shares of its common stock to officers and employees of Holding. As of
September 28, 2001, 57,075 of the options were exercisable.
THE HOLDING EQUITY PLAN
The Named Executive Officers and certain of Holding's and CPI's other executive
officers are participants in Holding's 1995 Management Equity Plan (the "Holding
Equity Plan"). Under the Holding Equity Plan, participants may purchase shares
of Holding Common Stock ("Management Shares") at a price determined by Holding's
board of directors to be the fair market value of such Holding Common Stock on
the date the participant executes an agreement to purchase the shares. Holding
has reserved a total of 1,250,000 shares of Holding Common Stock for issuance
under the Holding Equity Plan, 1,146,750 of which were issued to the Company's
former Chief Executive Officer, certain executive officers and key employees
(collectively, any executive officers and key employees
-28-
who may acquire Management Shares are referred to as the "Management Investors")
in Fiscal 1995.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
Neither Holding nor CPI has a Compensation Committee. All decisions on the
compensation of executive officers and directors of Holding, CPI or any of their
respective subsidiaries are made by the full board of directors.
None of the directors of Holding or CPI are officers or employees or former
officers or employees of Holding, CPI or any of their respective subsidiaries,
other than Mr. Petrini. None of the directors or officers has any relationships
that would require disclosure by the Company pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation
S-K ("Certain Relationships and Related Transactions"), except as described
below.
LGP is investment adviser to, and an affiliate of the general partner of, GEI
II, which holds approximately 73.1% of the outstanding shares of Holding.
Holding, in turn, owns all of the outstanding shares of common stock of CPI.
Messrs. Green, Danhakl and Baumer, who are directors of Holding and CPI, are
also stockholders of the general partner of LGP. See "Directors and Executive
Officers." In connection with the Acquisition, Holding and CPI entered into a
Management Services Agreement with LGP pursuant to which LGP will receive an

Terms of Subscription and Stockholder Agreements
Holding Common Stock and Junior Preferred Stock purchased by GEI II were
purchased pursuant to a Stock Subscription Agreement among Holding, CPI and GEI
II. GEI II was also granted certain demand and "piggyback" registration rights
for any shares of Holding Common Stock it may own pursuant to the Holding Common
Stock Registration Rights Agreement dated as of August 11, 1995 among Holding,
GEI II and the initial purchaser of CPI's Series A Senior Preferred Stock. GEI
II subsequently sold its shares of CPI Junior Preferred Stock in June 1997.
Holders of Holding Common Stock issued to qualified institutional buyers and/or
institutional accredited investors are entitled to the benefit of agreements
with Holding and CPI which contain certain demand and "piggyback" registration
rights, customary "tag-along" sale rights exercisable by the investor, and
customary "drag-along" sale rights exercisable by GEI II in certain
circumstances. In addition, the Management Investors have been granted certain

ITEM 13: CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Management Agreements
LGP is investment adviser to, and an affiliate of the general partner of, GEI
II, which holds approximately 73.1% of the outstanding shares of Holding.
Holding, in turn, owns all of the outstanding shares of common stock of CPI.
Messrs. Green, Danhakl and Baumer, who are directors of Holding and CPI, are
also stockholders of the general partner of LGP. In connection with the
Acquisition, Holding and CPI entered into a Management Services Agreement with
LGP pursuant to which LGP will receive an annual fee of approximately $362,000
plus reasonable expenses for providing management, consulting and financial
planning services, including assistance in strategic planning, providing market
and financial analysis, negotiating and structuring financing, and exploring,
negotiating and arranging expansion and capital market opportunities, in the
future. The Management Services Agreement has a term of up to twelve years.
Holding and CPI believe that the contacts and expertise provided by LGP in these
areas enhance the Company's opportunities and management's expertise in these
matters and that the fees to be paid to LGP fairly reflect the value of the
services provided by LGP. In Fiscal 2001, LGP earned $362,000 pursuant to the
terms of the Management Services Agreement.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Communications & Power Industries Holding Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Communications &
Power Industries Holding Corporation and subsidiaries (Holding) as of September
28, 2001 and September 29, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the 52-week
periods ended September 28, 2001, September 29, 2000, and October 1, 1999. In
connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also
have audited the related financial statement schedule. These consolidated
financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of
Holding's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Communications & Power Industries Holding Corporation ("Holding"), through its
wholly owned subsidiary, Communications & Power Industries, Inc. ("CPI", both
companies together referred to as "the Company") develops, manufactures and
distributes microwave and power grid vacuum electronic devices, microwave
amplifiers, modulators and various other power supply equipment and devices. The
Company operates six manufacturing operations in North America, and sells and
services its products and customers worldwide primarily through a direct sales
force.
In August 1995, CPI acquired substantially all of the assets of Varian
Associates, Inc.'s ("Varian") Electron Device business (the "Predecessor") and
then was merged with a wholly owned subsidiary of Communications & Power
Industries Holding Corporation, a corporation newly formed by a group of
investors, including management of Holding and CPI. The acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the purchase price was allocated
based upon the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of
August 11, 1995. Financing for the acquisition was obtained through the issuance
of 12% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2005 (the "Senior Subordinated Notes") of
CPI in the aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million, the issuance of Series
A 14% Senior Redeemable Exchangeable Cumulative Preferred Stock due 2007 (the
"Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock") of CPI and the issuance of Series A 14%
Junior Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Junior Preferred Stock") of CPI and
common stock of Holding.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Holding and its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company's fiscal years are the 52- or 53-week periods which end on the
Friday nearest September 30. All references to years in these notes to
consolidated financial statements represent fiscal year unless otherwise noted.
Liquidity
Holding's short-term debt includes mortgage financing of $18.0 million with
Wells Fargo Bank that expires on June 1, 2002. Management expects that cash to
be generated by operations and borrowing under its Credit Facility in
conjunction with either extending or finding alternative collateral-based
financing by June 1, 2002 will allow it to meet the mortgage obligation.
In addition, the Company recently received a bid for its property in San Carlos
for an amount in excess of its existing mortgage which would allow the Company
to continue to operate on this property on a leaseback basis. Although this
specific bid was turned down, the Company believes this is a viable alternative
if necessary to meet cash requirements in the future.
F-8
COMMUNICATIONS & POWER INDUSTRIES
HOLDING CORPORATION
and subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
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, negotiating an
increase to the Company's borrowing capacity under its line of credit, and
selling and leasing back its facility in San Carlos, California in a transaction
with a third party.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Generally, the Company requires no collateral from its customers and the Company
estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the credit worthiness of
its customers as well as general economic conditions. Consequently, an adverse
change in those factors could affect the Company's estimate of its bad debts.
Historical credit losses have been within management's expectations and most
transactions to third world economies are backed by letters of credit.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Currency on hand, demand deposits, and all highly liquid investments with an
original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash and cash
equivalents.
Revenue Recognition
Sales are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery
has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is
reasonably assured. The Company's products are generally subject to warranties,
and the Company provides for the estimated future costs of repair, replacement
or customer accommodation in costs of sales.
The estimated sales values of performance under certain contracts to commercial
customers and U.S. Government fixed-price and fixed-price incentive contracts in
process are recognized under the percentage of completion method of accounting
where the sales value is determined on the basis of costs incurred. Provisions
for anticipated losses are made in the period in which they first 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.

Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Major improvements are
capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed currently. Plant and
equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the
straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, or the remaining term of
the lease, whichever is shorter. Estimated useful lives of property, plant, and
equipment are as follows: land leaseholds, the life of the lease; buildings, 20
to 40 years; machinery and equipment, 3 to 7 years.
Gains and losses resulting from the disposition of assets (property, plant and
equipment) are reported on a net basis in the caption "General and
administrative" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Net gains (losses)
on the disposition of assets were $0.8 million, ($0.2) million and ($61,000) for
fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Accounting for Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets 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.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the
net assets acquired. The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying
amount of goodwill by determining whether the carrying amount of goodwill can be
recovered through undiscounted net cash flows of the acquired operation over the
remaining amortization period. If determined to be impaired, the carrying amount
is reduced to its estimated fair value which is based on an estimate of
discounted future net cash flows. Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line
basis over estimated useful lives ranging from 15 to 25 years. Accumulated
amortization was $11.6 million and $9.0 million as of September 28, 2001 and
September 29, 2000, respectively.
On October 6, 1998, CPI acquired Microwave Components Division ("MCD") of Aydin
Corporation for approximately $8.9 million with net assets of approximately $2.4
million. Of the $6.5 million difference between the purchase price and the fair
value of the net assets acquired, $3.4 million was allocated to goodwill and
$3.1 million was allocated to other identifiable intangibles including customer
list, trade name, covenant not to compete, software rights and debt issuance
cost, whose useful lives range from 1 to 3 years. This acquisition was accounted
for as a purchase.
Product Warranty
The Company's products are generally warranted for a variety of periods,
typically one to three years or a predetermined product usage life. A provision
for estimated future costs of repair, replacement or customer accommodations are
reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
F-10
COMMUNICATIONS & POWER INDUSTRIES
HOLDING CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
Environmental Liabilities
Liabilities for environmental expenditures are recorded when it is probable that
obligations have been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.
There were no environmental liabilities established by the Company during fiscal
years 2001, 2000 nor 1999. Varian retained the environmental liabilities
existing at the time the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
Varian's Electron Device business in August 1995.
Deferred Debt Issue Costs
Costs incurred related to the issuance of CPI's long-term debt, mortgage
financing and other credit facilities are capitalized and amortized over the
estimated time the obligations are expected to be outstanding using the
effective interest method. The amortization period used for the deferred costs
associated with the mortgage financing, term loan, revolving credit facility,
and the Senior Subordinated Notes is 18 months, 2 years, 4 years and 10 years,
respectively.
Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock
CPI's Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock was issued in units with an aggregate of
10,500 shares of common stock of Holding. The fair value of the shares of
Holding's common stock issued, and the issue costs associated with the issuance
of the Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock, have been reflected as a reduction of
the Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock issued and is being amortized via a charge
to accumulated deficit over the period until mandatory redemption, 12 years,
using the straight-line method.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Holding's
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax
consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis and the financial
reporting basis of assets and liabilities. The provision for income taxes is
based upon the differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets
and liabilities measured using the enacted tax rates and laws in effect when the
differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities from a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period
that includes the enactment date.
Business Risks and Credit Concentrations
Defense-related applications such as certain radar, electronic countermeasures
and military communications constitute a significant portion of the Company's
sales. Companies engaged in supplying defense-related equipment and services to
government agencies are subject to certain business risks peculiar to that
industry. Sales to the government may be affected by changes in procurement
policies, budget considerations, changing concepts of national defense,
political developments abroad, and other factors.

Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company's foreign subsidiaries is the U.S.
dollar. Gains or losses resulting from the translation into U.S. dollars of
amounts denominated in foreign currencies are included in the determination of
net loss.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
accounts payable, revolving credit facility, term loans, mortgage financing and
long-term debt. The carrying value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable, accounts payable, revolving credit facility, mortgage
financing and term loans approximate their fair values due to the relatively
short period to maturity of the instruments. The fair value of CPI's Senior
Subordinated Notes as of November 15, 2001, based on quoted market prices or
pricing models using current market rates, has been quoted at a level of 47.00
(100.00 is face value).
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company applies the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by
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, to account for its
fixed plan stock options. Under this method, compensation expense is recorded on
the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock
exceeded the exercise price. SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair
value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As
allowed by SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to continue to apply the
intrinsic value-based method of accounting described above, and has adopted the
disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123.
Comprehensive Income
The Company has no components of other comprehensive income (loss) and,
accordingly, comprehensive loss is the same as reported net loss for all periods
presented.
3. BALANCE SHEET COMPONENTS

4. CREDIT FACILITY
On December 22, 2000, the Company terminated the previous credit agreement and
replaced it with a $61.0 million secured credit facility ("Credit Facility").
This Credit Facility consists of a $41.0 million revolving line of credit, with
a sub-facility of $10.0 million for letters of credit, which
F-13
COMMUNICATIONS & POWER INDUSTRIES
HOLDING CORPORATION
and subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
expires December 22, 2004, and a $20.0 million term loan, which expires December
22, 2002. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of
CPI and is guaranteed by Holding and all of CPI's subsidiaries. Availability
under the Credit Facility is based upon eligible receivables, machinery and
equipment and certain real estate. As of September 28, 2001, CPI had $15.4
million available under the revolving line of credit.
The revolving line of credit provides for borrowings that will bear interest at
a rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.25% per annum or Prime plus 1.75% per annum. The
term loan provides for borrowings that will bear interest at a rate equal to
Prime plus 5.50% per annum. Additionally, the terms of the Credit Facility
require the Company to maintain certain financial covenants and limit the
payment of cash dividends on the Senior and Junior Preferred Stock. In addition
to customary fronting and other fees, CPI will pay a fee equal to 1.25% per
annum on outstanding but undrawn amounts of letters of credit; and additionally
CPI will pay customary collateral management fees and a commitment fee of 0.375%
per annum on unused facilities under the Credit Facility.
5. SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES OF CPI
The $100 million principal amount of Senior Subordinated Notes ("Notes") mature
in 2005 and bear interest at 12% per annum, payable semiannually. The payment of
principal of, premium and interest on, and other obligations evidenced by the
Notes is subordinated in right of payment, as set forth in the indenture
governing the Notes (the "Indenture"), to the prior payment in full of all
senior indebtedness (as defined), including indebtedness under the credit
facility, whether outstanding on the date of the Indenture or thereafter
incurred. CPI's payment obligations under the Notes are jointly and severally

The Notes are subject to redemption at the option of CPI, in whole or in part,
at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set
forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the applicable
redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on August 1 of

6. SENIOR REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK OF CPI
CPI is authorized to issue up to 325,000 shares of nonvoting Series B 14% Senior
Redeemable Exchangeable Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Senior Preferred
Stock") due 2007, including shares of Senior Preferred Stock which may be used
to pay dividends on the Senior Preferred Stock if the Company so elects.
Dividends on the Senior Preferred Stock accrue at the rate of 14% per annum and
are payable quarterly, commencing on November 1, 1995. On or before August 1,
2000, CPI may, at its option and subject to debt covenant restrictions, pay
dividends in cash or in shares of Senior Preferred Stock having an aggregate
liquidation preference equal to the amount of such dividends. Beginning August
1, 2000, dividends may only be paid in cash.
For the year ending September 28, 2001, $4.4 million of cash dividends were
accrued for payment on Senior Preferred Stock. In addition, at a value of $100
per share, CPI paid preferred dividends on its Senior Preferred Stock through
the issuance of 38,226 and 33,312 shares for fiscal years 2000 and 1999,
respectively.
The Senior Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of CPI, in whole or in
part from time to time, initially at 107% of the liquidation preference thereof
and at decreasing prices thereafter to and including August 1, 2004 and
thereafter at 100% of the liquidation preference thereof, together in each case
with accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon. The Senior Preferred Stock is
subject to mandatory redemption in whole on August 1, 2007 at a price equal to
the liquidation preference thereof, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends.
In the event of a change of control, CPI will be required to make an offer to
each holder of shares of Senior Preferred Stock to repurchase all or a portion
of such holder's Senior Preferred Stock at a price equal to 101% of the
liquidation preference thereof, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. The
Credit Facility currently prohibits and the Indenture currently restricts CPI
from making such an offer. In addition, CPI will be required to use the proceeds
from certain asset sales to permanently reduce senior indebtedness of CPI, to
invest in certain related assets or businesses or to offer to repurchase Senior
Preferred Stock. Any such repurchases shall be effected at an offer price equal
to 100% of the liquidation preference of the shares of Senior Preferred Stock
purchased, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends.
The Certificate of Designation covering the Senior Preferred Stock contains
certain provisions that, among other things, limit the ability of CPI to incur
indebtedness, pay dividends, incur liens, make loans or investments, transact
with affiliates and engage in mergers and consolidations.
CPI may, at its option, on any dividend payment date, exchange all, but not less
than all, of the outstanding shares of Senior Preferred Stock into 14% Junior
Subordinated Notes (the "Exchange Notes") due 2007, so long as such exchange is
permitted by the Credit Facility and the Indenture, in an aggregate principal
amount not to exceed the aggregate liquidation preference, plus accumulated and
unpaid dividends on the date of exchange. The Exchange Notes will be general
unsecured obligations of CPI and will be subordinated to all existing and future
senior indebtedness of CPI, including indebtedness under the Credit Facility and
the Indenture. Except for terms relating to these subordination provisions,
payment of interest on a quarterly basis, optional redemption and the date on
which repayment is mandatory (all of which terms would be similar to the terms
of Senior Preferred Stock), the terms of the Exchange Notes will be generally
identical to the Notes.

7. JUNIOR PREFERRED STOCK OF CPI
CPI is authorized to issue up to 525,000 shares of nonvoting Series A 14% Junior
Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Junior Preferred Stock") including shares of
Junior Preferred Stock which may be used to pay dividends on the Junior
Preferred Stock if CPI elects to pay dividends in shares of Junior Preferred
Stock. The aggregate liquidation preference of the Junior Preferred Stock issued
in connection with the formation of CPI in 1995 was $10.0 million. Dividends on
the Junior Preferred Stock accrue at the rate of 14% per annum and are payable
quarterly, commencing on November 1, 1995. On or before the redemption of the
Senior Preferred Stock or the exchange of Senior Preferred Stock into Exchange
Notes, CPI is required to pay dividends on the Junior Preferred Stock in
additional fully paid and non-assessable shares of Junior Preferred Stock having
an aggregate liquidation preference equal to the amount of such dividends. After
such redemption or exchange, CPI may, at its option and subject to debt and
senior preferred stock covenant restrictions, pay dividends on the Junior
Preferred Stock in cash or in additional fully paid and non-assessable shares of
Junior Preferred Stock having an aggregate liquidation preference equal to the
amount of such dividends.
At a value of $100 per share, CPI paid preferred dividends on its Junior
Preferred Stock through the issuance of 29,243, 25,484, and 22,208 shares for
fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
The Junior Preferred Stock ranks junior in right of payment to all liabilities
of CPI and to any preferred stock, including Senior Preferred Stock, that is
senior in right of payment to the Junior Preferred Stock and ranks senior in
right of payment to any additional preferred stock which does not expressly
provide that it ranks senior to or on a parity with the Junior Preferred Stock
and CPI's common stock.
8. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION
Cash paid for interest was $19.2 million, $16.7 million, and $16.6 million, in
fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Cash paid (refunded) for taxes

under capital leases for fiscal years 2001 and 1999, respectively; no equipment
was acquired under capital leases for fiscal year 2000.
9. LEASES
At September 28, 2001, the Company was committed to minimum rentals under
non-cancelable operating lease agreements primarily for land and facility space.
The Company also leases certain
F-16
computer and telephone equipment under capital leases that expire in 2004. As
collateral for these capital leases, the Company has issued letters of credit
totaling $0.6 million. A summary of future minimum lease payments (in thousands)
follows:

Real estate taxes, insurance, and maintenance are also obligations of the
Company. Rental expense under non-cancelable operating leases amounted to $1.2
million, $1.0 million, and $0.9 million for fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.
10. CONTINGENCIES
The amount of outstanding letters of credit provided for under CPI's Credit
Facility was $4.3 million as of September 28, 2001. These outstanding
obligations are comprised of the following: $2.9 million related to eleven
performance bond guarantees, $0.6 million to two lenders related to capital
lease arrangements and $0.8 million to various other beneficiaries related
primarily to insurance and service contracts.
Varian is currently a defendant in certain legal actions relating to its
operation of the assets sold to the Company and could incur an uninsured
liability in one or more of them. The Company's acquisition agreement with
Varian provides for Varian's retention of liability arising out of the above
referenced litigation. Accordingly, in the opinion of management, the outcome of
that litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
Varian has also been named by the Environmental Protection Agency or third
parties as a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, at sites to which
Varian is alleged to have shipped manufacturing waste for disposal. Varian is
also involved in various stages of environmental investigation and/or
remediation under the direction of, or in consultation with, local and/or state
agencies at certain facilities of the Company. Uncertainty as to (a) the extent
to which Varian caused, if at all, the conditions being investigated; (b) the
extent of environmental contamination and risks; (c) the applicability of
changing and complex environmental laws; (d) the number and financial viability
of other potentially responsible parties; (e) the stage of the investigation
and/or remediation; (f) the unpredictability of investigation and/or remediation
costs (including as to when they will be incurred); (g) applicable

clean-up standards; (h) the remediation (if any) which will ultimately be
required; and (i) available technology make it difficult to assess the
likelihood and scope of further investigation or remediation activities or to
estimate the future costs of such activities if undertaken.
The Company's acquisition agreement with Varian provides for Varian's retention
of liability arising out of investigative and remedial action and environmental
claims for conditions existing as of the closing date at the above-referenced
facilities. Accordingly, based on information currently available, management
believes that the costs of these matters are not likely to have a material
adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
From time to time, the Company may be subject to other claims that arise in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, as of September 28,
2001, all such matters involve amounts which would not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's consolidated financial position if unfavorably resolved.
11. SEGMENTS AND RELATED INFORMATION
The Company has two reportable segments: vacuum electronic devices ("VEDs") and
satcom equipment. Reportable segments are differentiated based on product. The
VED segment is made up of four operating units, which have been aggregated. Each
operating unit has a President that reports to the Office of the Chief Operating
Officer, held jointly by two of the Presidents, that in turn reports directly to
the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO").
The CEO evaluates performance and allocates resources to each of these operating
units based on the Company's principal performance measure, earnings before
income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). These four
operating units have similar economic characteristics as measured by EBITDA. The
Company's analysis of the similarity of economic characteristics was based on
both a historical and anticipated future analysis of performance. In addition,
the aggregated units are similar in (i) the nature of their products, (ii) their
manufacturing processes, (iii) their customers and, (iv) their distribution and
sales methods.
The VED segment develops, manufactures and distributes high power/high frequency
microwave and radio frequency signal components. Its products include linear
beam, cavity, power grid, crossed field and magnetron devices. These products
are used in the communication, radar, electronic countermeasures, industrial,
medical and scientific markets depending on the specific power and frequency
requirements of the end-user and the physical operating conditions of the
environment in which the vacuum electronic device will be located. These
products are distributed through the Company's direct sales force, independent
sales representatives and distributors.
The satcom equipment segment manufactures and supplies high power amplifiers and
networks for satellite communication uplink and industrial applications. This
segment also provides spares, service and other post sales support. Its products
are distributed through the Company's direct sales force and independent sales
representatives.
Sales and marketing, finance and administration expenses are allocated to the
operating units and are included in the results reported. The accounting
policies of the reportable segments are the same as

The provision for income tax expense for fiscal year 2001 consists of current
federal alternative minimum tax (AMT), the release of amounts previously accrued
for potential examinations by tax authorities, and deferred income tax expense
resulting from a net decrease in deferred tax assets. State and foreign income
tax expense results from current income tax payables in those jurisdictions. The
provision for income tax expense for the fiscal years 2000 and 1999 consists of
current income tax payable in foreign jurisdictions. Although the Company has a
consolidated pretax loss, most foreign operations were profitable during fiscal
years 2001, 2000 and 1999.
Deferred tax assets have declined as the result of the utilization of net
operating loss and credit carryforwards and amortization of capitalized research
and development costs (excess purchase price). In assessing the realizability of
deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more
F-21
COMMUNICATIONS & POWER INDUSTRIES
HOLDING CORPORATION
and subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the
generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary
differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of
deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning
strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable
income and projections for future taxable income over the periods which the
deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than
not the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net
of the existing valuation allowances at September 28, 2001. The net change in
the total valuation allowance for the 52-week period ended September 28, 2001
and September 29, 2000, was an increase of $5.9 million and $1.7 million,
respectively.
As of September 28, 2001, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for
federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $14.1 million and $8.7
million, respectively, available to reduce future income subject to income
taxes. The federal net operating loss carryforwards expire beginning in 2018.
State net operating loss carryforwards expire beginning in 2003.
As of September 28, 2001, the Company has foreign tax credit and AMT credit
carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $0.6 million and $92,000, and
manufacturers' investment credit for California income tax purposes of
approximately $0.8 million available to reduce future federal and California
income taxes, respectively. Foreign tax credit carryforwards expire beginning in
2003. Federal AMT credit and California credit will carryforward indefinitely.
The Internal Revenue code of 1986 substantially restricts the ability of a
corporation to utilize existing net operating losses in the event of an
"ownership change" of the corporation. The Company has not yet determined if
such an ownership change has occurred. If such an ownership change has occurred,
then the utilization of the net operating losses will be subject to an annual
limitation in future years.
The differences between the effective income tax rate and the statutory federal
income tax rate are as follows:

14. STOCK-BASED BENEFIT PLANS
2000 Stock Option Plan
In March 2000, Holding established the Communications & Power Industries 2000
Stock Option Plan ("the Plan") and reserved 250,000 shares of common stock for
issuance under the Plan. Options granted under Holding's stock option plan are
granted at fair market value, expire ten years from the date of grant and
generally vest in four equal annual installments, commencing one year from the
date of grant. The stock options granted pursuant to the Plan are not considered
"incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code, as amended and are subject to all of the terms and restrictions
obtained in the Stock Option and Stockholders Agreements. A summary of the
status of Holding's fixed stock option plan is as follows:

======== ======== ========
The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during fiscal
years 2001 and 2000 was $.60 and $1.00, respectively, on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions used for grants in fiscal years 2001 and 2000: risk-free interest
rate of 4.09% in fiscal year 2001 and 5.85% in fiscal year 2000; expected life
of 5 years for both years; no expected stock price volatility as the shares are
not publicly traded; and a dividend yield of 0.0% in both years.
There were 57,075 options exercisable as of September 28, 2001, and no options
were exercisable as of September 29, 2000. Outstanding options as of September
28, 2001 and September 29, 2000, had a weighted-average remaining contractual
life of 8.75 and 9.75 years, respectively.
SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" requires a company to
determine the fair market value of all stock-based compensation awards using an
option pricing model and to disclose pro forma net income as if the resulting
stock based compensation amounts were recorded in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations. Had compensation cost for Holding's stock-based compensation plan
been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates, consistent with the
method prescribed under SFAS No. 123, Holding's fiscal years 2001 and 2000 net
loss would not

have been materially different from the net loss reported in the accompanying
Statements of Operations.
Holding Equity Plan
In August 1995, Holding established the Holding 1995 Management Equity Plan (the
"Holding Equity Plan"). Under the Holding Equity Plan participants may purchase
shares of Holding Common Stock ("Management Shares") at a price determined by
Holding's board of directors to be the fair market value of such Holding Common
Stock on the date the participant executes an agreement to purchase the shares.
Holding has reserved a total of 1,250,000 shares of Holding Common Stock for
issuance under the Holding Equity Plan, 1,146,750 of which were issued to the
Company's Chief Executive Officer, certain officers and key employees in fiscal
year 1995. As of September 28, 2001, based on retirements and management
changes, 164,828 of these Management Shares have been repurchased, and 73,000
have been resold.
15. RETIREMENT AND PROFIT SHARING PLANS
CPI provides a qualified 401(k) investment plan covering substantially all of
its domestic employees and a pension contribution plan covering substantially
all of its Canadian employees. The plans provide for CPI to contribute an amount
based on a percentage of each participant's base pay. CPI also has a
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Non-Qualified Plan") that allows
eligible executives and directors to defer a portion of their compensation.
Participant contributions and Company matching contributions are always 100%
vested. The deferred compensation liability amounted to approximately $0.4
million as of September 28, 2001 and September 29, 2000.
Total CPI contributions to these plans were $2.7 million, $2.8 million and $2.8
million for fiscal years 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.
CPI's bonus program provides incentive bonuses to senior management if certain
performance goals are achieved and to employees if these goals are exceeded.
Such performance goals are measured based upon earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, return on sales and asset utilization.

On December 22, 2000, a sale-leaseback transaction related to CPI's facilities
in San Carlos, California was accomplished between CPI and Holding. Holding paid
CPI aggregate consideration of $23.0 million for the San Carlos real estate,
consisting of $17.25 million in cash and an unsecured promissory note in the
principal amount of $5.75 million maturing in nine years, with interest-only
payments on a quarterly basis at the rate of 15.5% per annum, with up to 35.25%
of each interest payment payable in kind, at Holding's option, by its issuance
of additional notes. CPI and Holding entered into a lease of the San Carlos real
property for a term of twenty (20) years on a net basis with a fixed annual rent
(payable in equal monthly installments) of $2.45 million. Holding financed the
cash portion of the San Carlos purchase price and its fees and expenses with
respect to the

transaction by borrowing $18.0 million from Wells Fargo Bank, which loan matures
June 1, 2002, bears interest at Prime or LIBOR plus 3.25%, and is secured on a
non-recourse basis (subject to normal and customary exceptions) by the San
Carlos real property. CPI realized a gain on the sale of the property of
approximately $8.5 million. Intercompany accounts and transactions associated
with this sale-leaseback transaction have been eliminated in consolidation.
Outside Advisors
Holding and CPI have entered into a management services agreement to pay $0.4
million, plus out-of-pocket expenses, annually to an advisor group, which is an
affiliate of Holding's majority shareholder. Certain individuals who are
stockholders of the general partner of this advisor group are members of
Holding's and the Company's respective Boards of Directors. The management
services agreement provides management, consulting and financial planning
services, including assistance in strategic planning, providing market and
financial analyses, negotiating and structuring financing and exploring
expansion opportunities.
Stockholder Loans
In connection with Holding's 1995 Management Equity Plan, certain executive
officers of the Company and Holding elected to pay a portion of the purchase
price for their Management Shares by Delivery of a secured promissory note to
Holding. The aggregate principal amount of such Management Notes was $0.9
million as of September 28, 2001. Of this amount, $0.7 million is secured by a
pledge of a portion (from 50% to 75%) of the Management Shares issued to each
executive officer and is guaranteed by Varian. The balance of $0.2 million is
secured by a pledge of approximately 91% of the Management Shares issued, but is
not guaranteed by Varian. Outstanding principal under each type of Management
Note bears interest at an annually adjustable rate equal to the "Applicable
Federal Rate" in effect under Internal Revenue Code Section 1274(d) for
obligations of a term equal to the then-remaining term of such note. Recourse by
Holding under both types of Management Notes is limited to the Management Shares
pledged to secure the applicable note. The first payments on these promissory
notes were required to be made on August 11, 2000. No such payments have been
made, and the Company is reviewing its options with respect to these notes.
17. GUARANTEES
Holding has guaranteed CPI's senior debt obligations. Other than the
transactions associated with the San Carlos real estate purchase and related
financing and leaseback arrangements, the consolidated balance sheets of Holding
as of September 28, 2001 and September 29, 2000 are substantially identical to
that of CPI.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Communications & Power Industries, Inc. ("CPI" or "the Company") develops,
manufactures and distributes microwave and power grid vacuum electronic devices,
microwave amplifiers, modulators and various other power supply equipment and
devices. The Company operates six manufacturing operations in North America, and
sells and services its products and customers worldwide primarily through a
direct sales force.
In August 1995, CPI acquired substantially all of the assets of Varian
Associates, Inc.'s ("Varian") Electron Device business (the "Predecessor") and
then was merged with a wholly owned subsidiary of Communications & Power
Industries Holding Corporation ("Holding"), a corporation newly formed by a
group of investors, including management of Holding and CPI. The acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the purchase price was allocated
based upon the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of
August 11, 1995. Financing for the acquisition was obtained through the issuance
of 12% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2005 (the "Senior Subordinated Notes") of
CPI in the aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million, the issuance of Series
A 14% Senior Redeemable Exchangeable Cumulative Preferred Stock due 2007 (the
"Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock") of CPI and the issuance of Series A 14%
Junior Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Junior Preferred Stock") of CPI and
common stock of Holding.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CPI
and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company's fiscal years are the 52- or 53-week periods which end on the
Friday nearest September 30. All references to years in these notes to
consolidated financial statements represent fiscal year unless otherwise noted.
Liquidity
The Company's parent has short-term mortgage financing debt of $18.0 million
with Wells Fargo Bank that expires on June 1, 2002. Management expects that cash
to be generated by operations and borrowing under its Credit Facility in
conjunction with either extending or finding alternative collateral-based
financing by June 1, 2002 will allow it to meet the mortgage obligation.
In addition, the Company's parent recently received a bid for its property in
San Carlos for an amount in excess of its existing mortgage which would allow
the Company to continue to operate on this property on a leaseback basis for a
sufficient period of time that was in excess of the existing mortgage financing.
Although this specific bid was turned down, the Company believes this is a
viable alternative if necessary to meet cash requirements in the future.
F-33
COMMUNICATIONS & POWER INDUSTRIES, INC.
and subsidiaries
(A wholly owned subsidiary of
Communications & Power Industries Holding Corporation)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
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, negotiating an
increase to the Company's borrowing capacity under its line of credit, and
selling and leasing back the facility in San Carlos, California, owned by its
parent, in a transaction with a third party.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Generally, CPI requires no collateral from its customers and CPI estimates an
allowance for doubtful accounts based on the credit worthiness of its customers
as well as general economic conditions. Consequently, an adverse change in those
factors could affect CPI's estimate of its bad debts. Historical credit losses
have been within management's expectations and most transactions to third world
economies are backed by letters of credit.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Currency on hand, demand deposits, and all highly liquid investments with an
original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash and cash
equivalents.
Revenue Recognition
Sales are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery
has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is
reasonably assured. The Company's products are generally subject to warranties,
and the Company provides for the estimated future costs of repair, replacement
or customer accommodation in costs of sales.
The estimated sales values of performance under certain contracts to commercial
customers and U.S. Government fixed-price and fixed-price incentive contracts in
process are recognized under the percentage of completion method of accounting
where the sales value is determined on the basis of costs incurred. Provisions
for anticipated losses are made in the period in which they first 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Major improvements are
capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed currently. Plant and
equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the
straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, or the remaining term of
the lease, whichever is shorter. Estimated useful lives of property, plant, and
equipment are as follows: land leaseholds, the life of the lease; buildings, 20
to 40 years; machinery and equipment, 3 to 7 years.
Gains and losses resulting from the disposition of assets (property, plant and
equipment) are reported on a net basis in the caption "General and
administrative" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Net gains (losses)
on the disposition of assets were $0.8 million, ($0.2) million and ($61,000) for
fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Accounting for Long-Lived Assets
CPI reviews long-lived assets 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.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the
net assets acquired. The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying
amount of goodwill by determining whether the carrying amount of goodwill can be
recovered through undiscounted net cash flows of the acquired operation over the
remaining amortization period. If determined to be impaired, the carrying amount
is reduced to its estimated fair value which is based on an estimate of
discounted future net cash flows. Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line
basis over estimated useful lives ranging from 15 to 25 years. Accumulated
amortization was $11.6 million and $9.0 million as of September 28, 2001 and
September 29, 2000, respectively.
On October 6, 1998, CPI acquired Microwave Components Division ("MCD") of Aydin
Corporation for approximately $8.9 million with net assets of approximately $2.4
million. Of the $6.5 million difference between the purchase price and the fair
value of the net assets acquired, $3.4 million was allocated to goodwill and
$3.1 million was allocated to other identifiable intangibles including customer
list, trade name, covenant not to compete, software rights and debt issuance
cost, whose useful lives range from 1 to 3 years. This acquisition was accounted
for as a purchase.
Product Warranty
CPI's products are generally warranted for a variety of periods, typically one
to three years or a predetermined product usage life. A provision for estimated
future costs of repair, replacement or customer accommodations are reflected in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
Environmental Liabilities
Liabilities for environmental expenditures are recorded when it is probable that
obligations have been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.
There were no environmental liabilities established by CPI during fiscal years
2001, 2000 nor 1999. Varian retained the environmental liabilities existing at
the time CPI acquired substantially all of the assets of Varian's Electron
Device business in August 1995.
Deferred Debt Issue Costs
Costs incurred related to the issuance of CPI's long-term debt and other credit
facilities are capitalized and amortized over the estimated time the obligations
are expected to be outstanding using the effective interest method. The
amortization period used for the deferred costs associated with the term loan,
revolving credit facility, and the Senior Subordinated Notes is 2 years, 4 years
and 10 years, respectively.
Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock
CPI's Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock was issued in units with an aggregate of
10,500 shares of common stock of Holding. The fair value of the shares of
Holding's common stock issued, and the issue costs associated with the issuance
of the Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock, have been reflected as a reduction of
the Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock issued and is being amortized via a charge
to accumulated deficit over the period until mandatory redemption, 12 years,
using the straight-line method.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. CPI's
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax
consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis and the financial
reporting basis of assets and liabilities. The provision for income taxes is
based upon the differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets
and liabilities measured using the enacted tax rates and laws in effect when the
differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities from a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period
that includes the enactment date.
Business Risks and Credit Concentrations
Defense-related applications such as certain radar, electronic countermeasures
and military communications constitute a significant portion of the Company's
sales. Companies engaged in supplying defense-related equipment and services to
government agencies are subject to certain business risks peculiar to that
industry. Sales to the government may be affected by changes in procurement
policies, budget considerations, changing concepts of national defense,
political developments abroad, and other factors.

The functional currency of CPI's foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. Gains
or losses resulting from the translation into U.S. dollars of amounts
denominated in foreign currencies are included in the determination of net loss.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
accounts payable, revolving credit facility, term loans, mortgage financing and
long-term debt. The carrying value of CPI's cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, revolving credit facility and term loans
approximate their fair values due to the relatively short period to maturity of
the instruments. The fair value of CPI's Senior Subordinated Notes as of
November 15, 2001, based on quoted market prices or pricing models using current
market rates, has been quoted at a level of 47.00 (100.00 is face value).
Comprehensive Income
The Company has no components of other comprehensive income (loss) and,
accordingly, comprehensive loss is the same as reported net loss for all periods
presented.

4. CREDIT FACILITY
On December 22, 2000, the Company terminated the previous credit agreement and
replaced it with a $61.0 million secured credit facility ("Credit Facility").
This new facility consists of a $41.0 million revolving line of credit, with a
sub-facility of $10.0 million for letters of credit, which expires December 22,
2004, and a $20.0 million term loan, which expires December 22, 2002. The Credit
Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of CPI and is guaranteed
by Holding and all of CPI's subsidiaries. Availability under the Credit Facility
is based upon eligible receivables, machinery and equipment and certain real
estate. As of September 28, 2001, CPI had $15.4 million available under the
revolving line of credit.
The revolving line of credit provides for borrowings that will bear interest at
a rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.25% per annum or Prime plus 1.75% per annum. The
term loan provides for borrowings that
F-38
COMMUNICATIONS & POWER INDUSTRIES, INC.
and subsidiaries
(A wholly owned subsidiary of
Communications & Power Industries Holding Corporation)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
will bear interest at a rate equal to Prime plus 5.50% per annum. Additionally,
the terms of the Credit Facility require the Company to maintain certain
financial covenants and limit the payment of cash dividends on the Senior and
Junior Preferred Stock. In addition to customary fronting and other fees, CPI
will pay a fee equal to 1.25% per annum on outstanding but undrawn amounts of
letters of credit; and additionally CPI will pay customary collateral management
fees and a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum on unused facilities under the
Credit Facility.
5. SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES
The $100 million principal amount of Senior Subordinated Notes ("Notes") mature
in 2005 and bear interest at 12% per annum, payable semiannually. The payment of
principal of, premium and interest on, and other obligations evidenced by the
Notes is subordinated in right of payment, as set forth in the indenture
governing the Notes (the "Indenture"), to the prior payment in full of all
senior indebtedness (as defined), including indebtedness under the credit
facility, whether outstanding on the date of the Indenture or thereafter
incurred. CPI's payment obligations under the Notes are jointly and severally
guaranteed by Holding and CPI's subsidiaries.
The Notes are subject to redemption at the option of CPI, in whole or in part,
at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set
forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the applicable
redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on August 1 of
the years indicated as follows:
Year Percentage
---- ----------
2002 103.0%
2003 101.5%
2004 and thereafter 100.0%
Upon the occurrence of a change of control, each holder of Notes will have the
right to require CPI to offer to repurchase all or any part of such holder's
Notes. The Credit Facility currently prohibits CPI from making such an offer. In
addition, the Indenture covering the Notes provides for various restrictions,
including restrictions on mergers or the sales of CPI's assets, dividend
payments, purchase, redemption, acquisition or retirement of equity interests of
CPI or its affiliates, principal payment on any indebtedness of CPI or
guarantors that is subordinated to the Notes, the incurrence of certain
indebtedness, or the making of any restricted investment, as defined.
6. SENIOR REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
CPI is authorized to issue up to 325,000 shares of nonvoting Series B 14% Senior
Redeemable Exchangeable Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Senior Preferred
Stock") due 2007, including shares of Senior Preferred Stock which may be used
to pay dividends on the Senior Preferred Stock if CPI so elects. Dividends on
the Senior Preferred Stock accrue at the rate of 14% per annum and are payable
quarterly, commencing on November 1, 1995. Beginning August 1, 2000, dividends
may be paid only in cash.
F-39
COMMUNICATIONS & POWER INDUSTRIES, INC.
and subsidiaries
(A wholly owned subsidiary of
Communications & Power Industries Holding Corporation)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
For the year ending September 28, 2001, $4.4 million of cash dividends were
accrued for payment on Senior Preferred Stock. In addition, at a value of $100
per share, CPI paid preferred dividends on its Senior Preferred Stock through
the issuance of 38,226 and 33,312 shares for fiscal years 2000 and 1999,
respectively.
The Senior Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of CPI, in whole or in
part from time to time, initially at 107% of the liquidation preference thereof
and at decreasing prices thereafter to and including August 1, 2004 and
thereafter at 100% of the liquidation preference thereof, together in each case
with accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon. The Senior Preferred Stock is
subject to mandatory redemption in whole on August 1, 2007 at a price equal to
the liquidation preference thereof, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends.
In the event of a change of control, CPI will be required to make an offer to
each holder of shares of Senior Preferred Stock to repurchase all or a portion
of such holder's Senior Preferred Stock at a price equal to 101% of the
liquidation preference thereof, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. The
Senior Credit Agreement currently prohibits and the Indenture currently
restricts CPI from making such an offer. In addition, CPI will be required to
use the proceeds from certain asset sales to permanently reduce senior
indebtedness of CPI, to invest in certain related assets or businesses or to
offer to repurchase Senior Preferred Stock. Any such repurchases shall be
effected at an offer price equal to 100% of the liquidation preference of the
shares of Senior Preferred Stock purchased, plus accumulated and unpaid
dividends.
The Certificate of Designation covering the Senior Preferred Stock contains
certain provisions that, among other things, limit the ability of CPI to incur
indebtedness, pay dividends, incur liens, make loans or investments, transact
with affiliates and engage in mergers and consolidations.
CPI may, at its option, on any dividend payment date, exchange all, but not less
than all, of the outstanding shares of Senior Preferred Stock into 14% Junior
Subordinated Notes (the "Exchange Notes") due 2007, so long as such exchange is
permitted by the Credit Facility and the Indenture, in an aggregate principal
amount not to exceed the aggregate liquidation preference, plus accumulated and
unpaid dividends on the date of exchange. The Exchange Notes will be general
unsecured obligations of CPI and will be subordinated to all existing and future
senior indebtedness of CPI, including indebtedness under the Credit Facility and
the Indenture. Except for terms relating to these subordination provisions,
payment of interest on a quarterly basis, optional redemption and the date on
which repayment is mandatory (all of which terms would be similar to the terms
of Senior Preferred Stock), the terms of the Exchange Notes will be generally
identical to the Notes.
7. JUNIOR PREFERRED STOCK
CPI is authorized to issue up to 525,000 shares of nonvoting Series A 14% Junior
Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Junior Preferred Stock") including shares of
Junior Preferred Stock which may be used to pay dividends on the Junior
Preferred Stock if CPI elects to pay dividends in shares of Junior Preferred
Stock. The aggregate liquidation preference of the Junior Preferred Stock issued
in connection with the formation of CPI in 1995 was $10.0 million. Dividends on
the Junior Preferred Stock accrue at the rate of 14% per annum and are payable
quarterly, commencing on November 1, 1995. On or before the redemption of the
Senior Preferred Stock or the exchange of Senior Preferred
F-40
COMMUNICATIONS & POWER INDUSTRIES, INC.
and subsidiaries
(A wholly owned subsidiary of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
Stock into Exchange Notes, CPI is required to pay dividends on the Junior
Preferred Stock in additional fully paid and non-assessable shares of Junior
Preferred Stock having an aggregate liquidation preference equal to the amount
of such dividends. After such redemption or exchange, CPI may, at its option and
subject to debt and senior preferred stock covenant restrictions, pay dividends
on the Junior Preferred Stock in cash or in additional fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Junior Preferred Stock having an aggregate liquidation
preference equal to the amount of such dividends.
At a value of $100 per share, CPI paid preferred dividends on its Junior
Preferred Stock through the issuance of 29,243, 25,484, and 22,208 shares for
fiscal years 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.
The Junior Preferred Stock ranks junior in right of payment to all liabilities
of CPI and to any preferred stock, including Senior Preferred Stock, that is
senior in right of payment to the Junior Preferred Stock and ranks senior in
right of payment to any additional preferred stock which does not expressly
provide that it ranks senior to or on a parity with the Junior Preferred Stock
and CPI's common stock.
8. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION
Cash paid for interest was $18.2 million, $16.7 million and $16.6 million in
fiscal years 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. Cash paid (refunded) for taxes
was $0.6 million, $(32,000), and $1.8 million in fiscal years 2001, 2000, and

Non-cash financing activities included the following: Dividends on Senior
Redeemable Preferred Stock included $4.4 million of accrued but unpaid preferred
dividends in fiscal year 2001 and the issuance of 38,226 and 33,312 shares of
Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock in fiscal years 2000 and 1999, respectively.

acquired under capital leases for fiscal years 2001 and 1999, respectively; no
equipment was acquired under capital leases for fiscal year 2000.
9. LEASES
At September 28, 2001, CPI was committed to minimum rentals under non-cancelable
operating lease agreements primarily for land and facility space. CPI also
leases certain computer and telephone equipment under capital leases that expire
in 2004. As collateral for these capital leases, CPI has issued letters of
credit totaling $0.6 million. As noted in Note 15 -- Related Party Transactions,
on December 22, 2000, CPI and Holding entered into an operating lease of the San
Carlos real property for a term of twenty (20) years on a net basis with a fixed
annual rent (payable in equal monthly installments) of $2.45 million.

respectively.
10. CONTINGENCIES
The amount of outstanding letters of credit provided for under CPI's Credit
Facility was $4.3 million as of September 28, 2001. These outstanding
obligations are comprised of the following: $2.9 million related to eleven
performance bond guarantees, $0.6 million to two lenders related to capital
lease arrangements and $0.8 million to various other beneficiaries related
primarily to insurance and service contracts.
Varian is currently a defendant in certain legal actions relating to its
operation of the assets sold to the Company and could incur an uninsured
liability in one or more of them. The Company's acquisition agreement with
Varian provides for Varian's retention of liability arising out of the above
referenced litigation. Accordingly, in the opinion of management, the outcome of
that litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows of CPI.
Varian has also been named by the Environmental Protection Agency or third
parties as a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, at sites to which
Varian is alleged to have shipped manufacturing waste for disposal. Varian is
also involved in various stages of environmental investigation and/or
remediation under the direction of, or in consultation with, local and/or state
agencies at certain facilities of CPI. Uncertainty as to (a) the extent to which
Varian caused, if at all, the conditions being investigated; (b) the extent of
environmental contamination and risks; (c) the applicability of changing and

potentially responsible parties; (e) the stage of the investigation and/or
remediation; (f) the unpredictability of investigation and/or remediation costs
(including as to when they will be incurred); (g) applicable clean-up standards;
(h) the remediation (if any) which will ultimately be required; and (i)
available technology make it difficult to assess the likelihood and scope of
further investigation or remediation activities or to estimate the future costs
of such activities if undertaken.
The Company's acquisition agreement with Varian provides for Varian's retention
of liability arising out of investigative and remedial action and environmental
claims for conditions existing as of the closing date at the above-referenced
facilities. Accordingly, based on information currently available, management
believes that the costs of these matters are not likely to have a material
adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
From time to time, CPI may be subject to other claims that arise in the ordinary
course of business. In the opinion of management, as of September 28, 2001, all
such matters involve amounts which would not have a material adverse effect on
the Company's consolidated financial position if unfavorably resolved.
11. SEGMENTS AND RELATED INFORMATION
The Company has two reportable segments: vacuum electronic devices ("VEDs") and
satcom equipment. Reportable segments are differentiated based on product. The
VED segment is made up of four operating units, which have been aggregated. Each
operating unit has a President that reports to the Office of the Chief Operating
Officer, held jointly by two of the Presidents, that in turn reports directly to
the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO").
The CEO evaluates performance and allocates resources to each of these operating
units based on the Company's principal performance measure, earnings before
income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). These four
operating units have similar economic characteristics as measured by EBITDA. The
Company's analysis of the similarity of economic characteristics was based on
both a historical and anticipated future analysis of performance. In addition,
the aggregated units are similar in (i) the nature of their products, (ii) their
manufacturing processes, (iii) their customers and, (iv) their distribution and
sales methods.
The VED segment develops, manufactures and distributes high power/high frequency
microwave and radio frequency signal components. Its products include linear
beam, cavity, power grid, crossed field and magnetron devices. These products
are used in the communication, radar, electronic countermeasures, industrial,
medical and scientific markets depending on the specific power and frequency
requirements of the end-user and the physical operating conditions of the
environment in which the vacuum electronic device will be located. Its products
are distributed through the Company's direct sales force, independent sales
representatives and distributors.
The satcom equipment segment manufactures and supplies high power amplifiers and
networks for satellite communication uplink and industrial applications. This
segment also provides spares, service and other post sales support. These
products are distributed through the Company's direct sales force and
independent sales representatives.

operating units and are included in the results reported. The accounting
policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies. Intersegment product transfers are
recorded at cost.
Summarized financial information concerning the Company's reportable segments is

The provision for income tax expense for fiscal year 2001 consists of current
federal alternative minimum tax (AMT), the release of amounts previously accrued
for potential examinations by tax authorities, and deferred income tax expense
resulting from a net decrease in deferred tax assets. State and foreign income
tax expense results from current income tax payables in those jurisdictions. The
provision for income tax expense for the fiscal years 2000 and 1999 consists of
current income tax payable in foreign jurisdictions. Although the Company has a
consolidated pretax loss, most foreign operations were profitable during fiscal
years 2001, 2000 and 1999.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
Deferred tax assets have declined as the result of the utilization of net
operating loss and credit carryforwards and amortization of capitalized research
and development costs (excess purchase price). In assessing the realizability of
deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not
that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The
ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of
future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences
become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax
liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in
making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and
projections for future taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax
assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the
Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the
existing valuation allowances at September 28, 2001. The net change in the total
valuation allowance for the 52-week period ended September 28, 2001 and
September 29, 2000 was an increase of $5.5 million and $1.7 million,
respectively.
As of September 28, 2001, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for
federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $13.1 million and $8.4
million, respectively, available to reduce future income subject to income
taxes. The federal net operating loss carryforwards expire beginning in 2018.
State net operating loss carryforwards expire beginning in 2003.
As of September 28, 2001, the Company has foreign tax credit and AMT credit
carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $0.6 million and $92,000; and
manufacturers' investment credit for California income tax purposes of
approximately $0.8 million available to reduce future federal and California
income taxes, respectively. Foreign tax credit carryforwards expire beginning in
2003. Federal AMT credit and California credit will carryforward indefinitely.
The Internal Revenue code of 1986 substantially restricts the ability of a
corporation to utilize existing net operating losses in the event of an
"ownership change" of the corporation. The Company has not yet determined if
such an ownership change has occurred. If such an ownership change has occurred,
then the utilization of the net operating losses will be subject to an annual
limitation in future years.
The differences between the effective income tax rate and the statutory federal
income tax rate are as follows:
Fiscal Year
------------------------------
2001 2000 1999
------ ------ ------
Statutory federal income tax benefit rate (35.0%) (35.0%) (35.0%)
Net operating loss not utilized -- 30.7% 39.4%
Foreign tax rate differential 2.2% 11.9% (7.2%)

14. RETIREMENT AND PROFIT SHARING PLANS
CPI provides a qualified 401(k) investment plan covering substantially all of
its domestic employees and a pension contribution plan covering substantially
all of its Canadian employees. The plans provide for CPI to contribute an amount
based on a percentage of each participant's base pay. CPI also has a
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Non-Qualified Plan") that allows
eligible executives and directors to defer a portion of their compensation.
Participant contributions and CPI matching contributions to the Non-Qualified
Plan are always 100% vested. The deferred compensation liability amounted to
approximately $0.4 million as of September 28, 2001 and September 29, 2000.
Total CPI contributions to these plans were $2.7 million, $2.8 million and $2.8
million for fiscal years 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.
CPI's bonus program provides incentive bonuses to senior management if certain
performance goals are achieved and to employees if these goals are exceeded.
Such performance goals are measured based upon earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, return on sales and asset utilization.
15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Sale-leaseback transaction with Holding
On December 22, 2000, a sale-leaseback transaction related to CPI's facilities
in San Carlos, California was accomplished between CPI and Holding. Holding paid
CPI aggregate consideration of $23.0 million for the San Carlos real estate,
consisting of $17.25 million in cash and an unsecured promissory note in the
principal amount of $5.75 million maturing in nine years, with interest-only
payments on a quarterly basis at the rate of 15.5% per annum, with up to 35.25%
of each interest payment payable in kind, at Holding's option, by its issuance
of additional notes. CPI and Holding entered into a lease of the San Carlos real
property for a term of twenty (20) years on a net basis with a fixed annual rent
(payable in equal monthly installments) of $2.45 million. Holding financed the
cash portion of the San Carlos purchase price and its fees and expenses with
respect to the transaction by borrowing $18.0 million from Wells Fargo Bank,
which loan matures June 1, 2002, bears interest at Prime or LIBOR plus 3.25%,
and is secured on a non-recourse basis (subject to normal and customary
exceptions) by the San Carlos real property. CPI realized a gain on the sale of
the property of approximately $8.5 million which is being recognized as income
over the 20 year term of the lease.

Stockholder Loans
In connection with Holding's 1995 Management Equity Plan, certain executive
officers of CPI and Holding elected to pay a portion of the purchase price for
their Management Shares by delivery of a secured promissory note to Holding.
Holding owes CPI for the amount of unpaid promissory notes, plus accrued
interest, that is owed to Holdings by Holdings' shareholders.
The aggregate principal amount of such Management Notes was $0.9 million as of
September 28, 2001. Of this amount, $0.7 million is secured by a pledge of a
portion (from 50% to 75%) of the Management Shares issued to each executive
officer and is guaranteed by Varian. The balance of $2.0 million is secured by a
pledge of approximately 91% of the Management Shares issued, but is not
guaranteed by Varian. Outstanding principal under each type of Management Note
bears interest at an annually adjustable rate equal to the "Applicable Federal
Rate" in effect under Internal Revenue Code Section 1274(d) for obligations of a
term equal to the then-remaining term of such note. Recourse by Holding under
both types of Management Notes is limited to the Management Shares pledged to
secure the applicable note. The first payments on these promissory notes were
required to be made on August 11, 2000. No such payments have been made, and the
Company is reviewing its options with respect to these notes.
Outside Advisors
Holding and CPI have entered into a management services agreement to pay $0.4
million, plus out-of-pocket expenses, annually to an advisor group, which is an
affiliate of Holding's majority shareholder. Certain individuals who are
stockholders of the general partner of this advisor group are members of
Holding's and the Company's respective Boards of Directors. The management
services agreement provides management, consulting and financial planning
services, including assistance in strategic planning, providing market and
financial analyses, negotiating and structuring financing and exploring
expansion opportunities.
