              NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 1999, the condensed
statements of income for the three and nine month periods ended December 31,
1999 and 1998, the condensed statement of cash flows for the nine month periods
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the condensed statement of stockholders'
equity for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 have been prepared by ViaSat,
Inc. (the "Company"), and have not been audited. These financial statements, in
the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto for the year ended March 31, 1999 included in the Company's 1999 Annual
Report on Form 10-K. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of
operating results for the full year.

NOTE 2 - MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles 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
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates
have been prepared on the basis of the most current and best available
information, and actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3 - REVENUE RECOGNITION

The majority of the Company's revenues are derived from services performed for
the United States Government and its prime contractors under a variety of
contracts including cost-plus-fixed fee, fixed-price, and time and materials
type contracts. Generally, revenues are recognized as services are performed
using the percentage of completion method, measured primarily by costs incurred
to date compared with total estimated costs at completion or based on the number
of units delivered. The Company provides for anticipated losses on contracts by
a charge to income during the period in which they are first identified.

Contract costs, including indirect costs, are subject to audit and negotiations
with Government representatives. These audits have been completed and agreed
upon through fiscal year 1996. Contract revenues and accounts receivable are
stated at amounts which are expected to be realized upon final settlement.

NOTE 4 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Common stock equivalents of 593,489 and 166,274 shares for the three months
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and 396,505 and 230,441 for the
nine months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 respectively, were used to
calculate diluted earnings per share. Antidilutive shares excluded from the
calculation were zero and 515,381 shares for the three months ended December 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively. Antidilutive shares excluded from the calculation
were 10,520 and 216,642 shares for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 and
1998, respectively. Common stock equivalents are primarily comprised of options
granted under the Company's stock option plan. There are no reconciling items in
calculating the numerator for basic and diluted earnings per share for any of
the periods presented.

NOTE 6 - CONTINGENCIES

The Company is currently a party to various government and commercial contracts
which require the Company to meet performance covenants and project milestones.
Under the terms of these contracts, failure by the Company to meet such
performance covenants and milestones permit the other party to terminate the
contract and, under certain circumstances, recover liquidated damages or other
penalties. The Company is currently not in compliance, or in the past was not in
compliance, with the performance or milestone requirements of certain of these
contracts. Historically, the Company's customers have not elected to terminate
such contracts or seek liquidated damages from the Company and management does
not believe that its existing customers will do so; therefore, the Company has
not accrued for any potential liquidated damages or penalties.

THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998

    Revenues. Revenues decreased 4.7% from $18.9 million for the three months
ended December 31, 1998 to $18.0 million for the three months ended December 31,
1999. This decrease was primarily due to lower volumes of defense products
offset in part by improvements in revenues generated by commercial products.

    Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 15.6% from $6.5 million (34.5% of
revenues) for the three months ended December 31, 1998 to $7.5 million (41.8% of
revenues) for the three months ended December 31, 1999. The increase in gross
profit was primarily due to a favorable product mix including volume related
improvements in commercial programs.

    Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased 20.0% from $2.4 million (12.5% of
revenues) for the three months ended December 31, 1998 to $2.8 million (15.8% of
revenues) for the three months ended December 31, 1999. The increase in SG&A
expenses reflects increases in bid and proposal costs and additional business
development and administrative staffing to support the Company's growth. SG&A
expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and expenses for business
development, marketing and sales, bid and proposal, finance, contract
administration and general management. Certain SG&A expenses are difficult to
predict and vary based on specific government and commercial sales
opportunities.




                                       9

    Independent Research and Development. Independent research and development
("IR&D") expenses increased 24.9% from $1.7 million (8.8% of revenues) for the
three months ended December 31, 1998 to $2.1 million (11.6% of revenues) for the
three months ended December 31, 1999. This increase resulted from work related
to the Company's defense products.

    Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased from $63,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 1998 to $37,000 for the three months ended December
31, 1999. Interest expense relates to loans for the purchase of capital
equipment, which are generally three year variable-rate term loans, and to
short-term borrowings under the Company's line of credit to cover working
capital requirements. Total outstanding equipment loans were $2.8 million at
December 31, 1998 and $1.5 million at December 31, 1999. There were no
outstanding borrowings under the Company's line of credit during either year.

    Interest Income. Interest income increased from $185,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 1998 to $283,000 for the three months ended December
31, 1999. This increase resulted from higher average cash balances and improved
yields partially offset by lower interest income on U.S Government receivables.
Interest income relates largely to interest earned on short-term deposits of
cash.

    Provision for Income Taxes. The Company's effective income tax rate
decreased from 36.4% for the three months ended December 31, 1998 to 29.9% for
the three months ended December 31, 1999. The decrease relates primarily to an
adjustment to lower the Company's annual tax rate from 38.4% for nine months
ended December 31, 1998, to 36.0% for the nine months ended December 31, 1999,
due primarily to greater than anticipated research and development tax credits
in prior years.

NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 VS. NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998

    Revenues. Revenues decreased 2.2% from $53.3 million for the nine months
ended December 31, 1998 to $52.1 million for the nine months ended December 31,
1999. This decrease was primarily due to lower volumes of defense products
offset in part by improvements in revenues generated by commercial products.

    Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 12.7% from $19.8 million (37.2% of
revenues) for the nine months ended December 31, 1998 to $22.3 million (42.9% of
revenues) for the nine months ended December 31, 1999. The increase in gross
profit was primarily due to a favorable product mix.

    Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses increased 13.5%
from $7.2 million (13.6% of revenues) for the nine months ended December 31,
1998 to $8.2 million (15.8% of revenues) for the nine months ended December 31,
1999. The increase in SG&A expenses reflects increased expenditures relating to
marketing of commercial products, increased business development and bid and
proposal efforts for defense programs, and additional administrative staffing to
support the Company's growth. SG&A expenses consist primarily of personnel costs
and expenses for business development, marketing and sales, bid and proposal,
finance, contract administration and general management. Certain SG&A expenses
are difficult to predict and vary based on specific government and commercial
sales opportunities.

    Independent Research and Development. IR&D expenses increased 3.4% from $5.8
million (10.8% of revenues) for the nine months ended December 31, 1998 to $6.0
million (11.5% of revenues) for the nine months ended December 31, 1999. This
increase resulted from increased expenditures on defense products offset in part
by the award of funded development contracts related to the Company's commercial
products.

    Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased from $199,000 for the nine
months ended December 31, 1998 to $126,000 for the nine months ended December
31, 1999. Interest expense relates to loans for the purchase of capital
equipment, which are generally three year variable-rate term loans, and to
short-term borrowings under the Company's line of credit to cover working
capital requirements. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Company's
line of credit during either year.

    Interest Income. Interest income increased from $593,000 for the nine months
ended December 31, 1998 to $762,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 1999.
This increase resulted from higher average invested cash balances and higher
yields offset in part by a decrease in interest income from overdue government
receivables from $75,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 1998 to $18,000
for the nine months ended December 31, 1999.

    Provision for Income Taxes. The Company's effective income tax rate
decreased from 38.4% for the nine months ended December 31, 1998 to 36.0% for
the nine months ended December 31, 1999. The decrease relates primarily to
greater than anticipated research and development tax credits in prior years.

BACKLOG

At December 31, 1999, the Company had firm backlog of $77.2 million, of which
$57.9 million was funded. The firm backlog of $77.2 million does not include
contract options of $55.3 million. These options include $46.3 million of
Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) UHF Satcom products and $6.5
million of IDIQ awards for other Company products. The increase in the backlog
results from growth in total awards for both commercial and defense products
from $38.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 1998 to $84.5 million
for the nine months ended December 31, 1999. Of the $77.2 million in firm
backlog, approximately $15.7 million is expected to be delivered in the fiscal
year ending March 31, 2000, $21.8 million is expected to be delivered in the
fiscal year ending March 31, 2001 and the balance is expected to be delivered in
the fiscal year ending March 31, 2002 and thereafter. The Company had firm
backlog of $44.9 million at March 31, 1999, of which $36.8 million was funded,
not including options of $45.2 million. The Company includes in its backlog only
those orders for which it has accepted purchase orders. However, backlog is not
necessarily indicative of future sales. A majority of the Company's backlog
scheduled for delivery can be terminated at the convenience of the government
since orders are often made substantially in advance of delivery, and the
Company's contracts typically provide that orders may be terminated with limited
or no penalties. In addition, purchase orders may set forth product
specifications that would require the Company to complete additional product
development. A failure to develop products meeting such specifications could
lead to a termination of the related purchase order.

The backlog amounts as presented are comprised of funded and unfunded
components. Funded backlog represents the sum of contract amounts for which
funds have been specifically obligated by customers to contracts. Unfunded
backlog represents future amounts that customers may obligate over the specified
contract performance periods. The Company's customers allocate funds for
expenditures on long-term contracts on a periodic basis. The ability of the
Company to realize revenues from government contracts in backlog is dependent
upon adequate funding for such contracts. Although funding of its government
contracts is not within the Company's control, the Company's experience
indicates that actual contract fundings have ultimately been approximately equal
to the aggregate amounts of the contracts.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has financed its operations to date primarily from cash flows from
operations, bank line of credit financing, equity financing and loans for the
purchase of capital equipment. Cash provided by operating activities for the
nine months ended December 31, 1999 was $1.7 million and cash provided by
operating activities was $8.4 million for the nine months ended December 31,
1998. The relative decrease in cash provided by operating activities for the
nine months ended December 31, 1999 compared to the same period of the prior
year was primarily due to the timing of receivable collections but was also
impacted by growth in inventories and lower accounts payable. Days sales
outstanding have been high for the past two quarters primarily because of delays
in payments on certain government contracts. The payments are delayed due to
processing time at the government paying offices and the Company believes these
amounts are fully realizable.

Cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended December 31,
1999 was $9.3 million and cash used in investing activities for the nine months
ended December 31, 1998 was $8.7 million. During the nine months ended December
31, 1999, $12.2 million in short term investments matured and were reinvested
into investments classified as cash equivalents. The Company purchased $2.9
million and $2.1 million of property and equipment during the nine months ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company's purchases of property
and equipment primarily consist of test equipment and computers.

Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 1999
was $399,000 and cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended
December 31, 1998 was $789,000. This decrease was primarily the result of
reduced borrowings for equipment financing.

At December 31, 1999, the Company had $19.2 million in cash, cash equivalents
and short-term investments, $36.8 million in working capital and $1.5 million in
equipment financing. The Company had a zero balance under its line of credit at
December 31, 1999.

The Company's credit facilities, including the line of credit and equipment
financing, expired on December 15, 1998. The Company is in the process of
renegotiating the terms of a larger commitment with Union Bank of California.

The Company's future capital requirements will depend upon many factors,
including the progress of the Company's research and development efforts,
expansion of the Company's marketing efforts, and the nature and timing of
orders. The Company believes that its current cash balances and net cash
expected to be provided by operating activities will be sufficient to meet its
working capital and capital expenditure requirements, exclusive of any
acquisitions, for at least the next 12 months. Management invests the Company's
cash in excess of current operating requirements in short-term,
interest-bearing, investment-grade securities.

In January 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with Scientific-Atlanta,
Inc. ("S-A"), whereby the Company agreed, subject to certain conditions
including regulatory clearances, to purchase the assets of the satellite
networks business of S-A for a purchase price of approximately $74.9 million,
subject to certain closing adjustments. The purchase price will also consist of
warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock at specified
prices. The Company anticipates that the cash for the purchase price in this
transaction may come from an offering of either debt or equity securities.
