5.  New Credit Facility

On December 22, 2000, the Company terminated the Senior 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 on December 22, 2004, and a $20.0 million term loan that expires on 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 and, as of June 29, 2001, CPI had $10.9 million of availability.

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 rate equal to Prime plus 5.50% per annum. Additionally, the terms of the 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.

6.  Sale-Leaseback Transaction

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 of approximately $8.5 million on the transaction that will be amortized over the term of the lease. The current portion of the unrealized gain of $0.4 million is included in CPI’s accrued expenses. The unrealized gain is not shown for Holding as it is eliminated upon consolidation.

7.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 141, “Business Combinations” (SFAS No. 141) and Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (SFAS No. 142). SFAS No. 141 addresses accounting and reporting for business combinations and requires that all business combinations be accounted for by a single method — the purchase method. The provisions of this Statement apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, however early application is permitted. The Company will adopt this Statement beginning in the first quarter of Fiscal 2002. Based on goodwill existing on the Company’s balance sheet at June 29, 2001, the adoption of SFAS No.142 will increase income before taxes by $1.3M in Fiscal 2002.

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.

The Company serves the communications, radar, electronic countermeasures, industrial, medical and scientific markets. In addition, the Company divides the communications market into applications for ground-based satellite uplinks for military and commercial uses (“satcom”) and broadcast sectors. The Company defines and discusses its orders and sales trends by the end markets to more clearly relate its business to outside investors. Internally, however, the Company is organized into 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 a solid state products segment. Segment data is included in Note 4 of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Orders during the third quarter of Fiscal 2001 were $57.5 million as compared to $55.8 million for the third quarter of Fiscal 2000. The increase of $1.7 million, or 3.1%, was driven by increases in orders in the communications and radar markets. Orders for the first nine months of Fiscal 2001 of $203.3 million were slightly higher than the $201.7 million in the same time period of Fiscal 2000. However, excluding the effect of the $13.6 million XM Radio satellite service order generated in the second quarter of Fiscal 2000, the increase in adjusted orders was $15.2 million. There was higher demand in the first nine months for products in five of the Company’s six markets. Radar orders increased $11.0 million due to higher demand for spare and rebuilt VED’s primarily for military applications. Industrial orders increased $2.9 million due to orders for build-to-print power supplies manufactured by CPI’s Canadian operation. Medical orders improved from the first nine months of Fiscal 2000 by $2.7 million due primarily to increased demand for the Company’s line of x-ray generators. Electronic countermeasure orders for the first nine months of Fiscal 2001 were lower than the comparable period in Fiscal 2000 due to the timing of a large order for airborne decoy products which was booked in July 2001. Overall, incoming order levels fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis and a particular quarter’s order rate may not be indicative of future order levels. In particular, the Company is beginning to see a moderate slowdown in a portion of its communications market due primarily to the excess capacity in internet based demand and cautious ordering due to concerns about the economy. However, the demands from the Company’s government/military customers remain consistent and this, along with a large installed base that requires replacement products, should provide some stability to the Company’s revenue stream. None-the-less, the Company’s sales are highly dependent upon manufacturing scheduling, performance and shipments and, accordingly, it is not possible to accurately predict when these orders will be recognized as sales.

As of June 29, 2001, the Company had order backlog of $160.7 million, representing approximately seven-and-a-half months of sales, compared to order backlog of $164.8 million, or eight months of sales as of June 30, 2000. Order backlog at the end of the third quarter also decreased slightly from $161.6 million at the end of Fiscal 2000.

Sales for the third quarter of Fiscal 2001 were $72.7 million, an increase of $6.4 million, or 9.6%, compared to $66.4 million for the same period in Fiscal 2000. The increase from a year ago was primarily attributable to the communications market with an increase of $5.8 million, or 24.8%. Sales in the communications market increased as a result of two new products. The Gen IV, the Company’s next generation, high power amplifier, and the XM Radio project both began shipping in volume in Fiscal 2001. Sales for the first nine months of Fiscal 2001 were $199.7 million compared to $181.7 million for the first nine months of Fiscal 2000, an increase of $18.0 million, or 9.9%. This increase reflects increased sales of products serving the communications, medical and industrial markets of $10.7 million, $5.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The increase in the communications market was discussed above. Medical sales increased as a result of a new line of INDICO generators which are used in x-ray applications. The improvement in sales in the industrial market can be attributed to build-to-print power supplies.

Gross profit for the third quarter of Fiscal 2001 was $15.7 million, or 21.5% of sales, compared with $16.5 million, or 24.8% of sales, generated in the third quarter of Fiscal 2000. Gross profit for the first nine months of Fiscal 2001 was $41.1 million, or 20.6% compared to $41.9 million, or 23.1% of sales, for the same period of Fiscal 2000. The decline as a percentage of sales for both periods was primarily attributable to higher start-up and warranty costs on several new satcom products, and to a lesser degree, due to increases in energy related costs at the Company’s California operations. Energy related costs remain a concern going forward and could have a more significant impact on future margin performance.

Operating costs and expenses were $11.8 million, or 16.2% of sales, for the third quarter of Fiscal 2001 compared to $12.1 million, or 18.2% of sales, a year ago. 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. The decrease in research and development costs were partially offset by costs 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. Costs-to-date attributable to these consolidation efforts were approximately $0.8 million for the quarter and $2.6 million year-to-date. Operating costs and expenses for the first nine months of Fiscal 2001 were $33.4 million, or 16.7% of sales, compared to $34.0 million, or 18.7% of sales, for the same period of Fiscal 2000. Excluding the effects of the Company’s consolidation efforts, operating costs as a percentage of sales for the first nine months of Fiscal 2001 were 15.4% compared to 18.7% for the same period of Fiscal 2000. The decline in operating costs and expenses from a year ago reflects cost control measures implemented in the latter half of Fiscal 2000 as well as lower research and development costs in the satcom equipment segment.

Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”)1 for the third quarter of Fiscal 2001 were $6.9 million, or 9.5% of sales, compared to $8.3 million, or 12.5% of sales, for the


1   EBITDA is presented because some investors may use it as a financial indicator of the ability to service or incur indebtedness. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings (loss), as a measure of operating results, cash flows or liquidity.

third quarter of Fiscal 2000. EBITDA for the first nine months of Fiscal 2001 was $18.4 million, or 9.2% of sales, compared to $19.3 million, or 10.6% of sales, for the same period in Fiscal 2000. Excluding the effects of the consolidation costs, as previously discussed, and a $0.9 million gain on the sale of a building in Beverly, Massachusetts, adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months was $20.0 million, or 10.0% of sales, compared to $19.3 million, or 10.6% of sales, during the same period in Fiscal 2000. The increase in adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of Fiscal 2001 was due primarily to lower research and development costs, partially offset by lower gross profit, as discussed above.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Holding used cash of $4.0 million in operating activities for the first nine months of Fiscal 2001, whereas for the corresponding period of Fiscal 2000, Holding generated cash of $9.0 million. This decrease of $13.0 million was mainly attributable to changes in accounts receivable and advance payments from customers that contributed less cash flow of $8.0 million and $4.5 million, respectively, and a decrease in accounts payable that consumed $4.7 million more in cash, partially offset by $5.3 million less cash consumed by inventory changes. Accounts receivable levels have increased as a result of higher shipments in the third quarter of Fiscal 2001 compared to the same period in Fiscal 2000 but days sales outstanding has improved to 60 days in June 2001 compared to 64 days in June 2000. Inventory levels, although not consuming as much cash in Fiscal 2001 as in Fiscal 2000, remain high due to longer production cycle times of several new products.

CPI used cash of $3.7 million in operating activities for the first nine months of Fiscal 2001, whereas it generated cash of $9.0 million for the corresponding period of Fiscal 2000. The decrease in operating cash flows was due primarily to the factors discussed above.

Net cash used by Holding in investing activities in the first nine months of Fiscal 2001 was $1.9 million compared to $4.6 million in the first nine months of Fiscal 2000. This decrease in cash used of $2.7 million was due to a reduction in capital expenditures compared to the same period of Fiscal 2000 of $0.8 million, coupled with $1.9 million in proceeds from the sale of the building in Beverly, Massachusetts in March 2001.

Net cash provided by investing activities for CPI was $15.4 million for the first nine months of Fiscal 2001 as compared to $4.6 million of net cash used in investing activities in the same period of Fiscal 2000. The increase in cash is attributable to proceeds from the sale of CPI’s facilities in San Carlos to its parent as part of a sale-leaseback transaction of $17.25 million and proceeds from the sale of a building in Beverly, Massachusetts of $1.9 million.

Capital expenditure requirements for both Holding and CPI for Fiscal 2001 are expected to be similar to the amount spent in Fiscal 2000, including expenditures related to consolidation efforts discussed below. Capital expenditures related to the consolidation totaled $1.25 million as of June 29, 2001 and the Company expects to spend approximately $0.3 million on these efforts during the remainder of Fiscal 2001.

Holding’s financing activities during the first nine months of Fiscal 2001 were related primarily to repayments on its Senior Credit Agreement, which was terminated on December 22, 2000, and proceeds

and expenses from its new $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 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 of $5.75 million maturing in nine years. CPI and Holding entered into a lease of the San Carlos real property for a term of twenty years on a net basis with a fixed annual rent of $2.45 million. Holding financed the cash portion of the San Carlos purchase price by borrowing $18.0 million, which loan matures June 1, 2002.

CPI used cash of $13.0 million in financing activities during the first nine months of Fiscal 2001 compared with $5.6 million a year ago. Similar to Holding, CPI’s financing activities in Fiscal 2001 were related primarily to repayments on its Senior Credit Agreement, and proceeds and expenses from its new secured Credit Facility, with the exception that the $18.0 million of mortgage financing and its related debt issue costs of $0.5 million did not apply to CPI.

The Company continues to focus on strategic consolidation efforts approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on October 18, 2000. As of the end of the third quarter of Fiscal 2001, the Company has completed the transfer of three of the five satcom product lines to its facility in Ontario, Canada and is beginning the process of transferring the remaining two. The Company expects to complete this consolidation over the next 6 to 9 months. The relocation of its administrative offices into a single building in Palo Alto is complete and the Company is actively looking for tenants to sublease up to 52,300 square feet of office space.

Management believes that as a result of its recent debt restructuring, the Company will have adequate capital resources and liquidity (including cash flow from operations and borrowing under its revolving credit facility) to meet its obligations, fund all required capital expenditures and pursue its business strategy related to consolidation efforts described above for at least the next twelve months.

Market Risk

The Company’s market risk disclosures set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2000, have not changed significantly.
