Executive Compensation Committee Report

    The Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has the responsibility for review and determination of executive compensation objectives and policies and the evaluation of the Corporation's executive officers. It is the Committee's responsibility to determine the compensation of the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers taking into consideration individual and corporate performance, performance of competitors and other similar businesses and relevant compensation data.

    The base salaries of the Corporation's executive officers are set to attract qualified people necessary for the continued successful operation and growth of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. With the assistance of the Human Resources Department, the base salary structure is periodically reviewed in relation to the practices of companies in similar businesses and of similar size and in a reasonable geographic area.

    The determination of each executive's compensation by the Committee takes into consideration the performance of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, the recommendations of management, and salaries and incentive compensation of executives in similar businesses.

AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

    In 1996, for the purpose of eliminating taxes on authorized but unissued shares of the Corporation's common stock, the Certificate of Incorporation was amended to reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock to 15,000,000. After a three-for-two stock split in 1996 and an increase in the amount of the authorized shares to 20,000,000 by amendment of the Articles of Incorporation in 1998, the remaining balance of authorized but unissued shares is insufficient should the Corporation desire to effect another stock split or for use in the event of acquisitions of other entities or product lines in which shares of stock would be consideration for such activity. Subject to the approval of the Shareholders, the Board of Directors has authorized the amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares from 20,000,000 to 25,000,000.

AN AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF AT LEAST A MAJORITY OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES, EXCLUSIVE OF SHARES HELD BY THE CORPORATION AS TREASURY SHARES, IS NECESSARY FOR APPROVAL.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND OTHER INFORMATION

W.C. Zable	Vice President and Vice Chairman of the Board	2001 2000 1999	$ $ $	300,000 295,000 280,000	$ $ $	87,903 76,694 76,082	$ $ $	23,270 22,648 23,371	$	93,466

(A)

Amounts shown include cash compensation earned and received as well as earned and deferred at the election of the Officers.

(B)

The 2001 bonus includes cash compensation earned whether received or deferred at the election of the Officer.

(C)

Amounts shown reflect the individual's interest in the Corporation's contribution for fiscal 2001 to the Corporation's Employees' Profit Sharing Plan, premiums for executive life insurance coverage in accordance with I.R.S. tables, and automobile allowances.

(D)

Includes the long-term performance bonus for the three-year period ended in fiscal 2001 earned whether received or deferred at the election of the officer. This item also includes the split-dollar insurance plan, described below, initiated for the benefit of the shareholders, which requires the Officer to make contributions toward acquisition of the life insurance. In October 1992, to offset the cost, including taxes, of the insurance contribution by Mr. Zable, the Board of Directors adopted a supplemental executive compensation program under the terms of which a predetermined sum would be paid annually. The amounts set forth above are the annual payments under this program. Payments may be discontinued at any time by the Board of Directors.

    The remuneration shown for the named individuals includes deferred compensation under the Corporation's Deferred Compensation Plan. Under the Plan, selected key employees of the Corporation, including Officers, may defer all or any part of their compensation until termination of employment with the Corporation. The deferred compensation is held in the general funds of the Corporation and credited to the account of the employee. Each account is credited with interest at the rate set by the Secretary of the United States Treasury.

    The Corporation provides all full-time employees with life insurance coverage up to $50,000, depending on their rate of compensation, and executives of the Corporation with $150,000 of life insurance. In addition, executives are provided, at their option, with additional life insurance in an amount of 1, 2, 3, or 4 times the executive's salary, at the executive's option, up to a total maximum of $500,000, all of the premiums for such additional insurance being paid solely by each electing executive. Currently, premiums not paid by the executive for all life insurance coverage are treated as compensation to those executives in accordance with Internal Revenue Service Tables, and are included in the cash compensation shown.

    In 2001, to fill the position resulting from the retirement of Walter E. Fairbanks, Gerald R. Dinkel was employed by the Corporation to fill the position of Vice President and Chief Executive Officer of the Defense Group. To assist Mr. Dinkel in the purchase of a home and the relocation of Mr. Dinkel and his family from Maryland to San Diego, California, the Corporation loaned Mr. Dinkel the sum of $200,000 on a 60-day promissory note to be replaced by a 5% interest bearing promissory note payable in 5 equal annual instalments commencing in 2006 and secured by a second trust deed on the property purchased.

6

    The remuneration shown for the named individuals includes their interest in the Corporation's contribution to the Corporation's Employees' Profit Sharing Plan for fiscal 2001. The Plan is for employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. The amount of the Corporation's annual contribution is determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. The Plan also allows employees to make voluntary contributions of up to 10% of their compensation to the Plan. Employees, including executives, are permitted, pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, to defer pre-tax up to 10% of their compensation up to a maximum amount allowed by the Internal Revenue Code depending upon the amount of that compensation in addition to the after-tax contributions referred to above. These pre-tax deferrals made by the named individuals are also included in the compensation shown above. The Corporation's annual and the employee's voluntary contributions to the Plan are made to various funds held by an insurance company. Each employee is given investment discretion over the contributions allocated to his or her account.

    The compensation shown does not include contributions by the Corporation under its defined benefit Employees' Pension Plan because the amount of such contributions in respect to a specified person are not and cannot be readily calculated. Additional information regarding the Corporation's Employees' Pension Plan is set forth below:

    The Corporation maintains a defined benefit Pension Plan ("Plan") for most of its employees and the employees of its subsidiaries. The Corporation's contributions to the Plan are distributed amongst various funds held by an insurance company. They are actuarially determined for the total of all participants covered by the Plan. Therefore, the amount of contribution in respect to a specified person is not and cannot be readily calculated. The Corporation's contribution to the Plan for 2001 amounts to approximately 2.3% of the participants' remuneration. Generally, all participants in the Plan earn the right to receive a monthly pension at the Plan's normal retirement date of age 65 in an amount equal to 1/12th of 3/4ths of 1% of their total earnings (including bonuses) since 1974. Most Officers and Directors of the Corporation who are salaried have been participants and have been credited with years of service for each year since the Plan has been in existence. Most regular employees, including Officers, participate in the non-contributory Pension Plan of the Corporation, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. The benefits to be paid under the Pension Plan are not subject to adjustments for Social Security benefits or other offsets.

		Estimated Annual Benefits Under the Cubic Corporation Pension Plan
		At Retirement Age of 65 Years of Service
Average Annual Compensation
		10		20		30		40
$	50,000	$	3,750	$	7,500	$	11,250	$	15,000
	100,000		7,500		15,000		22,500		30,000
	150,000		11,250		22,500		33,750		45,000
	160,000		12,000		24,000		36,000		48,000

    Compensation eligible to the Plan is limited by ERISA regulations to $160,000 during the year ended September 30, 2001.

    The years of credited service in the Corporation's Pension Plan for the listed individuals are: 52 years for W. J. Zable, 39 years for W. C. Zable, 18 years for W. W. Boyle, and 41 years for Raymond L. deKozan.

    The Corporation also provides to certain Executive Officers certain normal management fringe benefits, including financial counseling and club memberships, which are not included in the above Table. An undetermined part of these benefits might have been used for personal purposes in an amount which is not reasonably determined. It has been concluded that the aggregate amounts of any such benefits are not material and do not, in any event, exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 10% of the compensation reported as to each person specified and, in any case, the aggregate amount of such

7

other compensation is the lesser of $25,000 times the number of persons in the group or 10% of the compensation reported above for the group.

    In October 1992, a trust established by the principal shareholders of the Corporation, Mr. and Mrs. Walter J. Zable, entered into an agreement with the Corporation whereby the Corporation agreed to make advances of premiums payable on a split-dollar life insurance policy purchased by the trust on the life of Mrs. Zable. The agreement is so designed that if the assumptions made as to mortality experience, policy dividends and other factors are realized, upon the demise of Mrs. Zable the Corporation will recover all of its insurance premium payments as well as other costs associated with the policy. The advances are secured by a collateral assignment of the policy to the Corporation. The agreement is intended to prevent the possibility of a large block of the Corporation's common shares being put on the market, to the detriment of the share price, in order for the beneficiaries to pay estate taxes. The Corporation may cause the agreement to be terminated and the policy to be surrendered at any time. The difference between policy premiums and other payments and the increase in the cash surrender value of the policy has been expensed or added to income in the year incurred. The amount added to income in 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $482,000, $45,000 and $254,000, respectively. Should the policy be held for ten years, the Company estimates that the cash surrender value will exceed all payments made and should the policy be held to maturity, all payments advanced to carry the policy will be returned.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

    No Director, Officer, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of the Common Stock of the Corporation failed to file on a timely basis, as disclosed in Form 3, Form 4 and amendments thereto, and Form 5 and amendments thereto, reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during the fiscal year 2001.

Performance Graph

    The above graph compares the performance of Cubic Corporation with that of the S&P 500 Index and a peer group comprised of companies in the Federal Trade Commission SIC Codes 3699 and 3829. Electrical Equipment and Supplies (NEC) and Measuring and Controlling Devices (NEC), which are published industry groups. The chart assumes that $100 was invested on October 1, 1996, in each of Cubic Corporation, the S&P 500 Index and the peer group index, and compares the return on investment as of September 30^th of each of the following five years. The return on investment represents the change in the fiscal year-end stock price plus reinvested dividends.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

    Ernst & Young LLP has audited the Corporation's books and records since 1959 and are continuing as its auditors in addition to providing tax services. No change is contemplated. There is no other relationship.

    Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the shareholders' meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Audit Fees

    $393,968 constitutes the aggregate fees billed by Ernst & Young LLP for professional services rendered for the audit of the corporation's annual financial statements for fiscal year 2001 and the reviews of the financial statements included in the Corporation's Forms 10-Q for that fiscal year.

Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees

    Ernst & Young LLP did not render any professionl services for the Company for information technology services relating to financial information systems design and implementation for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001.

9

All Other Fees

    The aggregate fees from Ernst & Young LLP for services rendered to the Company other than the Audit Fees and the Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001 were $282,060.

    The Audit and Compliance Committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation has considered that the provision of services as set forth above is compatible with maintaining the independence of Ernst & Young LLP.
