EX-15 2 ex-15.txt EXHIBIT 15 EXHIBIT 15 - INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT Board of Directors and Shareholders Cubic Corporation We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Cubic Corporation as of June 30, 2000, and the related condensed consolidated statement of income for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which will be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Cubic Corporation as of September 30, 1999 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated November 29, 1999, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 1999 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
