Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Six months ended June 30, 2008
(Unaudited - Expressed in US Dollars)

1. Organization and Going Concern Uncertainty

The Company is incorporated under the laws of British Columbia and its principal business activities include the marketing, design and sales of microwave products and portable satellite products that provide rapidly deployable broadband satellite data and video continuity in areas where traditional communication infrastructure is insufficient, damaged or non-existent.

The Company has incurred recurring operating losses and has a deficit of $34,574,401 as at June 30, 2008. Consequently, there is significant doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management implemented a new cost structure in late 2006 aimed to achieve net profits and generate positive cash flows through its operations. The Company has generated profits in the last seven successive quarters.

In view of these conditions, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon sustaining profitable operations to generate sufficient cash flows to fund continued operations and on the ability of the Company to obtain additional financing. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business.

2. Basis of Presentation

These financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting and the accounting polices used are consistent with the most recent audited annual financial statements except for those included in note 3. These financial statements do not contain all disclosures required by Canadian GAAP for annual financial statements, and accordingly, should be read together with the audited 2007 annual consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2007 Annual Report.

The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other period.

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, which presume the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

3. Changes in Accounting Policies

EIC – 130 – Change in Reporting Currency

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company changed its reporting currency to the US Dollar (USD). The change in reporting currency increases transparency of the financial results of the Company and provides better visibility for the stakeholders.

Prior to January 1, 2008, the Company reported its annual and quarterly consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, deficit and comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows in Canadian dollars (CDN). In making the change in reporting currency, the Company followed the recommendations of the Emerging Issues Committee (EIC) of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA), set out in EIC-130 – “Translation Method when the Reporting Currency Differs from the Measurement Currency or there is a Change in the Reporting Currency”

In accordance with EIC-130, the financial statements for all the years and periods presented have been translated to the new reporting currency (USD) using the current rate method. Under this method, the statements of operations, deficit and comprehensive (loss) income and cash flows statement items for each year and period have been translated into the reporting currency using the average exchange rates prevailing during each reporting period. All assets and liabilities have been translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the consolidated balance sheets dates. Shareholders’ equity transactions have been translated using the rates of exchange in effect as at the date of the various capital transactions.

Norsat International Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Six months ended June 30, 2008
(Unaudited - Expressed in US Dollars)

All resulting exchange differences arising from the translation are included as a separate component of other comprehensive income. All comparative financial information has been restated to reflect the Company’s results as if they had been historically reported in US dollars.

CICA 3031 – “Inventories”

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted CICA Handbook Section 3031 - “Inventories”, which replaces Section 3030, of the same name. The new section provides guidance on the basis and method of measurement of inventories and allows for reversal of previous write-downs. The section also establishes new standards on disclosure of accounting policies used, carrying amounts, amounts recognized as an expense, write-downs and the amount of any reversal of any write-downs.

Under paragraph 33 of CICA Section 3031 “A new assessment is made of net realizable value in each subsequent period. When the circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written down below cost no longer exist or when there is clear evidence of an increase in net realizable value because of changed economic circumstances, the amount of the write-down is reversed (ie the reversal is limited to the amount of the original write-down) so that the new carrying amount is the lower of the cost and the revised net realizable value. This occurs, for example, when an item of inventory that is carried at net realizable value, because its selling price has declined, is still on hand in a subsequent period and its selling price has increased.” As a result of adopting CICA Section 3031, a reversal of previous write-downs of $285,396 was recorded as an increase to inventory and a decrease in opening deficit.

CICA 1535 – “Capital Disclosures”

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted CICA Handbook Section 1535 – “Capital Disclosures” (“Section 1535”). Section 1535 requires a company to disclose information that enables users of its financial statements to evaluate the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital, including disclosures of any externally imposed capital requirements and the consequences of non-compliance.

The Company's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and sustain future development of the business. The Company monitors the debt to equity ratio, which it defines as total liabilities divided by shareholders’ equity as shown in the consolidated balance sheet.

While management recognizes the possibility of higher returns that might be possible with the leverage afforded by higher borrowing levels, the target is to create value for its shareholders over the long-term through the security afforded by a sound capital position.

In January and February, 2008, the Company paid off the operating line of credit outstanding from December 31, 2007.

In March 2008 warrants that were set to expire March 3, 2008 were exercised prior to the expiry date. Proceeds of $1,384,737 from the exercise of the warrants were credited to share capital and $624,039 was reclassified from contributed surplus to share capital. (See note 7)

There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the period. Under its debt financing agreements, the Company’s working capital ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) cannot be less than 1.15:1 and debt to tangible net worth ratio (total liabilities divided by the sum of total assets minus total liabilities) cannot exceed 2.5:1. As at June 30, 2008, the Company’s working capital ratio was 3.52:1 and the debt to tangible net worth ratio was at 0.37:1.

CICA 3862 and 3863 – “Financial Instruments – Presentation”

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted CICA Handbook Sections 3862 and 3863 – “Financial Instruments – Presentation” (“Sections 3862 and 3863”). Sections 3862 and 3863 require an increased emphasis on disclosures about the nature and extent of risk arising from financial instruments and how a company manages these risks. (See note 5)

4. Change in Estimates

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company changed its estimate of provisions for inventory obsolescence on inventory items related to the Globetrekker family of products. Under paragraph 29A of CICA 3031, it would be appropriate to group these individual items as they are all related and form part of the same finished product.

Under paragraph 33 of CICA 3031 – “A new assessment is made of net realizable value in each subsequent period. When the circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written down below cost no longer exist or when there is clear evidence of an increase in net realizable value because of changed economic circumstances, the amount of the write-down is reversed (i.e. the reversal is limited to the amount of the original write-down) so that the new carrying amount is the lower of the cost and the revised net realizable value. This occurs, for example, when an item of inventory that is carried at net realizable value, because its selling price has declined, is still on hand in a subsequent period and its selling price has increased.”

During the three months ending June 30, 2008, the Company experienced a significant change in the volume of sales of Globetrekker products compared to previous years. Under the guidelines provided in paragraph 33 of CICA 3031, management concluded that the circumstances that caused inventories to be written down below cost no longer existed. Based on this conclusion, management reversed the amount of the write-down of $88,589 which was recorded as an increase to inventory and a decrease to cost of sales.

5. Financial Instruments

Fair value of financial instruments

All financial instruments are classified into one of five categories: held-for-trading, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets or other financial liabilities. All financial instruments are measured in the balance sheet either at fair value or at amortized cost. Subsequent measurement and changes in fair value will depend on their initial classification, as follows: held-for-trading financial assets are measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recognized in net earnings. Available-for-sale financial instruments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income until the instrument is derecognized.

The Company has classified its cash and short-term investments as held-for-trading. Accounts receivable was classified as loans and receivables. Accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and operating line of credit were classified as other liabilities.

Carrying value and fair value of financial assets and liabilities as at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were summarized as follows:


(in thousands of dollars)		June 30, 2008			December 31, 2007
	Carrying Value		Fair Value	Carrying Value		Fair Value
Held-for-trading	806		806	787		787
Loans and receivables	3,020		3,020	3,432		3,432
Held-to-maturity	-		-	-		-
Other liabilities	2,299		2,299	3,344		3,344

Currency risk

Currency risk is defined as the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations in the U.S. dollar as components of cost and receivables being denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Six months ended June 30, 2008
(Unaudited - Expressed in US Dollars)

To manage the exposure to foreign exchange risk the company will enter into short term FX forward contracts as part of its cash management strategy.

On June 5, 2008, the Company entered into a forward contract to trade $150,000 for Canadian dollars at a rate of Cdn$1.0184 = USD1 (Cdn$152,760). As at June 30, 2008, this contract was still outstanding and was marked to market at Cdn$1.0206391 = USD1 (Cdn$153,095.87). The contract is set to expire on July 11, 2008.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its obligations under a contract. This risk primarily arises from the Company’s receivables from customers.

The Company’s exposure to credit risk is dependent upon the characteristics of each customer. Each customer is assessed for creditworthiness. The credit worthiness of customers is assessed using third party credit scores and through direct monitoring of their financial well being on a continual basis. In some cases, where customers fail to meet the Company's benchmark creditworthiness, the Company may choose to transact with the customer on a prepayment basis.

The Company regularly reviews the collectiblility of its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on its best estimates of any potentially uncollectible accounts. As at June 30, 2008, the balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts was $36,311 (2007 – 44,687). Pursuant to their respective terms, accounts receivable was aged as follows as at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007:


(in thousands of dollars)	June 30, 2008	December 31, 2007
Current	2,073	2,075
0-30 days overdue	633	1,037
31-60 days overdue	218	200
61-90 days overdue	102	66
Over 90 days overdue	(6)	54
Total accounts receivable	3,020	3,432

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company ensures, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet obligations when due and monitors cash flow requirements daily.

The Company also maintains two operating lines of credit in both Canadian and US dollars that can be drawn down to meet short-term financing obligations.

The exercise price of all share purchase options granted during the period was equal to the closing market price at the grant date. Using an option pricing model with assumptions noted below, the estimate fair value of all options granted during 2008 and 2007 have been reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as follows:


	Three months ended June 30,		Six months ended June 30,
	2008	2007	2008	2007
Stock-based compensation recognized in operations	45,044	24,220	66,798	48,622

(Unaudited - Expressed in US Dollars)

The weighted average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options during the period were:


	Three months ended June 30,		Six months ended June 30,
	2008	2007	2008	2007
Risk free interest rate	2.880%	4.110%	3.261%	3.986%
Expected life	3.50	3.50	3.50	3.50
Vesting period	2 to 10 years	2 to 10 years	2 to 10 years	2 to 10 years
Expected volatility	74.54%	79.34%	74.15%	83.15%
Expected dividends	nil	nil	nil	nil

206,800 stock purchase options were granted with a weighted average fair market value of $0.72 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. 336,800 stock purchase options were granted with a weighted average fair market value of $0.62 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore the existing models may not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s share purchase options.

Norsat International Inc. Management Discussion & Analysis

SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

Key items that affected the results for the second quarter of 2008, compared to the second quarter of 2007, are as follows:

Revenues remained flat year on year on higher margin Satellite systems and down 7.5% for Microwave sales. The second quarter of 2007 had higher than normal margins due to the launch of new products for high-end commercial and government markets. In addition, gross margins in the second quarter of 2007 for Satellite Systems was driven by the addition of complementary products and new accessories to the product line as part of the Company’s efforts to become an end-to-end solutions provider. Both business segments had higher than normal margins in the second quarter of 2007, making it appear that there was a drop off for the second quarter of 2008. The gross margins of 49.7% in the second quarter are in line with management’s expectations and more reflective of margins previously experienced by Norsat.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased due to employee count. There are 52 full time employees in the second quarter of 2008 as compared to 44 in the same period last year. Employee headcount increased in line with the commitments to research and development projects as the Company is committed to uncompromised product innovation and leadership.

There was a reduction in interest expense in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007. This reflects the retirement of the convertible debt that was completed in the first half of 2007. Management continues to focus on managing cash prudently to minimize interest expense.

In October 2007, Norsat was awarded a non-repayable Cdn$235,555 government contribution through Canada’s National Research Council– Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP). The program provides contributions to Canadian small to medium sized businesses that are interested in using technology to commercialize services, products and processes to grow their presence in Canadian and international markets. Through this program, Cdn$89,913 was claimed and reported as a reduction to product development costs in the second quarter of 2008.

On June 12, 2008 the company announced the release of its advanced satellite acquisition and terminal control software, LinkControl™ in 12 new languages. Norsat LinkControl is now available in a total of 15 different languages: Arabic, Bahasa, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish and Turkish.

As at June 30, 2008, working capital^* improved to $6.7MM as compared to $4.9MM at the end of 2007. The current ratio^** for the second quarter of 2008 was 3.5x compared to 2.3x at the end of 2007. These improvements reflect the commitment to achieving a more effective structure for future operations and activities.

The Company continues to believe that the long term prospects in the satellite industry remain strong, driven by the net-centric transformation of militaries, growth in homeland security spending and the emergence of non-traditional applications such as business continuity and content production by various entities.

Key factors that will be expected to affect the Company’s revenue growth in the near term remain the timing of the award of major military and certain other commercial projects. It is expected that competition will continue to intensify as more companies focus on opportunities in this market which will likely put pressure on our gross margins.

Management is committed to implementing a business model which will serve to (i) add a recurring revenue stream through a range of services, (ii) broaden the company’s portfolio to include the sale of comprehensive turn-key solutions, and (iii) diversify the base of customers to include non-defense customers.

Total sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $4.0 million, down from the $4.1 million sold in the same period of 2007.

Microwave product sales in the first half of 2008 continued it’s steady performance, albeit being down when compared to the same time last year. On a year to date basis, Microwave Sales of $4.1 million is down 10.7% from the same period in 2007. This is primarily the result of microwave sales in the first quarter of 2007 being atypically higher as a result of a backlog from the end of 2006. For the quarter, sales of Microwave Products were $2.1 million, down by 7.5%, compared to $2.3 million in the same period last year This decline is partially attributable to general market conditions related to the slowdown being experienced by the US economy.

Sales of Satellite Systems were $1.9 million, consistent with the sales performance in the same period last year. Year to date sales of Satellite Systems at $2.8 million is down 15.3% from the $3.3 million for the same period last year. The significant factor impacting this half was the exhaustion of the IDIQ awarded in September 2007 during the first quarter of 2008.

The overall gross margins for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was 49.7% compared to 59.1% in the same period last year. As indicated in the MD&A for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, margins were unusually high that quarter, this resulted from two key factors; (1) the launch of new products for high-end commercial and government markets and (2) the addition of complementary products and new accessories to the product line as part of the Company’s efforts to become an end-to-end solutions provider.

Gross margins for Microwave products on a year to date basis are down from 49.7% in the first half of 2007 compared to 40.8% in the first half of 2008. As previously indicated, margins earned in the second quarter of 2007 were higher due to the launch of products for the high-end commercial and government markets.

Satellite systems margins continue to be consistent year on year with the first half of 2008 at 63.8% compared to 65.0% for the first half of 2007. As indicated in the first quarter, Management expects margins for Satellite systems and services to normalize as volumes increase in this business segments.

The Company’s new management, appointed by the board of directors in September 2006 focused on improving efficiency by reducing administrative costs such as rent, salaries (as a result of staff reduction) and insurance premiums. While management’s commitment to cost control has not wavered, staff levels have gradually been increased to ensure that commitments to research and development projects are met and product innovation and product leadership are not compromised.

Administrative costs increased by 9.5% to $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2008 from $1.4 million in the same period of 2007. This increase was driven primarily by the company’s planned investment in personnel, resources and corporate development activities to support growth.

Product development costs increased by 33.5% as the company stimulated its product development program in both the Microwave business segment and the Satellite systems segment. The company continues to receive the support of a government grant program that helps fund organization using technology to commercialize services, products and processes to grow their presence in Canadian and international markets. Through this program, the company has claimed and reported Cdn$190,000 as a reduction of product development costs in the first half of 2008. These costs also reflect the increased staffing at the research and development center in Korea.

Amortization expenses increased by $14,336 compared to the same period in the previous year reflecting the amortization of the company ERP system, which began amortization in May 2007.

Our quarterly results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter because sales volumes are seasonal with the first quarter of the year being the weakest quarter and the fourth quarter being a strong quarter. Sales volumes are also dependent of military sales, which tend to be uneven over the course of a year. Operating expenses have been rationalized since the fourth quarter and into the first half of 2007.

– Revenue for the first quarter of 2008 was consistent with historical patterns of a soft quarter to start the year. The first quarter of 2007 had a significantly stronger result due to a backlog of orders from the fourth quarter of 2006 that could not be shipped in time.

- Similarly, revenues for the second quarter of 2008 was consistent with historical patterns, albeit down slightly from the same time period last year.

– Operating expenses for the first half of 2008 are up from 2007 levels as a result of a renewed commitment to research and product development in order to maintain product leadership.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

The Company’s principal cash requirements are for working capital, capital expenditures, and interest payments on the Company’s debt.

The Company's cash balance as at June 30, 2008 was $0.8 million, an increase of $0.1 million from $0.7 million as at December 31, 2007. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, cash consumed by operations totaled $0.6 million. Financing activities generated net proceeds of $0.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008. Investing activities consumed $0.2 million during the period.

The Company’s working capital requirements are mainly for production materials, productions and selling, operations and general administrative expenses. The Company’s working capital may be improved by increasing sales, shortening collection and payment cycles and enhancing of inventory controls.

As at June 30, 2008, working capital^* increased to $6.7MM as compared to $4.9MM at the end of 2007. The current ratio** for the second quarter of 2008 was at 3.5x as compared to 2.3x for the end of 2007. These improvements reflect the commitment to achieving a more effective structure for future operations and activities.

Accounts receivable, was at $3.0 million as at June 30, 2008, down from the balance of $3.4 million as at December 31, 2007. This net change is primarily due to the lower sales volume experienced in the first half of 2008. The bad debt provision is reviewed at the end of each financial period according to the Company’s policy which is based on the credit terms of its customers and historical collection data. Review of the company’s accounts receivable determined that the bad debt provision was reasonably assessed as at June 30, 2008.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities were $2.3 million, a decrease of $0.5 million, compared to $2.8 million as at December 31, 2007, reflecting prompt payment of accounts payable to maintain a positive relationship with the company’s suppliers

Inventory as at June 30, 2008 was $5.3 million compared to $4.2 million as at December 31, 2007. The increase in inventory resulted from an increase in the purchase of materials to satisfy the current backlog of orders of Satellite systems. The Company’s inventory level for Microwave products are replaced on a just-in-time basis and continue to be monitored for sales trends to manage the risk of obsolescence.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of operations. The application of the going concern basis is dependent upon the Company having sufficient available cash resources; and achieving profitable operations to generate sufficient cash flows to fund continued operations. Should the Company fail to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, it will require additional financing to remain a going concern. At June 30, 2008, the Company has accumulated a deficit of $34,574,401. The Company started to generate net profit from its continued operations through the fourth quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2008. However, it cannot be used as an indication of the Company’s future performance.

1.7

Capital Resources

The Company’s capital resources as at June 30, 2008 were in cash. Cash flows are funded primarily through operations and, where necessary, liquidity requirements may be funded through the issuance of debt, and/or equity.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008 the Company completed the following financing transactions:

Warrants that were set to expire March 3, 2008 were exercised prior to the expiry date. There were 3,065,232 warrants outstanding of which 2,915,235 were redeemed at the strike price of US$0.475. The remaining 149,997 warrants expired. Proceeds of the warrants exercised totaled US$1,384,737.

Norsat International Inc. Management Discussion & Analysis

During the first quarter of 2008, the Company obtained a secured operating line of credit from a financial institution for Cdn$500,000 or US$400,000 under Export Development Canada’s (EDC) Master Receivable Guarantee (MARG) program.

Terms and conditions are as follows:

interest at the rate of the Bank’s Prime Rate plus 0.85% per annum

all amounts under the loans shall be repaid on demand by the Bank

general security agreement given by the Company creating a first fixed and floating charge and security interest over all present and after acquired assets of the Company

general assignment of book debts creating a first priority assignment of the debts and accounts receivable of the Company

assignment /endorsement by the Company to the Bank of all risk insurance (including extended coverage endorsement) in amounts and from an issuer acceptable to the Bank, on all of the Company’s real and personal property including, without limitation, equipment and inventory owned by the Company, showing the bank as first loss payee by way of standard mortgage endorsement, such policy to include business interruption and public liability insurance.

MARG of Cdn$450,000 from EDC

the working capital ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) shall not at any time to be less than 1.15:1

the Debt to Tangible Net Worth ratio (total liabilities divided by the sum of total assets minus total liabilities) shall not at any time exceed 2.5:1

On January 31, and February 29, 2008 the Company repaid US$300,000 (Cdn$301,270) and US$200,000 (Cdn$196,880) respectively of the operating line of credit. The February 29 payment was the full and final payment on the outstanding line of credit.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

The following table presents the aggregate amount of future cash outflows for contractual obligations as of June 30, 2008 under various purchasing commitments, loan commitments and operating lease agreements for each of the next five years:


	2008	2009	2010	2011	2012
Inventory purchase obligation	2,397,442				
Operating lease obligations	308,592	487,103	464,535	418,866	
Total	2,706,034	487,103	464,535	418,866	

In the normal course of operations the Company enters into purchase commitments. The Company has accrued for estimated losses, if any, when determinable, including losses on disputed purchase commitments with suppliers.

The Company believes most of its working capital can be funded through its operations. The Company may also pursue other financing facilities to fund its working capital and meet its debt obligations from time to time.

Due to consistently changing economic conditions which may not be under the control of the Company, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada, and makes estimates and assumptions that affect its reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingent liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that it believes are reasonable in the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Management has discussed the development and selection of the Company’s critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, and the Audit Committee has reviewed the following disclosures.

The following critical accounting policies reflect the Company’s more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing its consolidated financial statements:

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may arise if any of its customers are unable to make required payments. Management specifically analyzes the age of outstanding customer balances, historical bad debt experience, customer credit-worthiness and changes in customer payment terms when making estimates of collectability of the Company’s accounts receivable balance. If the Company determines that the financial condition of any of its customers has deteriorated, increases in the allowance may be made.

The Company values its finished goods and work-in-process inventories at the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value reflects the current estimated net selling price or value in use of the item in inventory in a non-forced sale. The Company assesses the need for inventory write-downs based on its assessment of estimated net realizable value using assumptions about future demand and market conditions. When the results of these assumptions differ from the Company’s projections, an additional inventory write-down may be required. In addition, changes in the underlying factors used in the Company’s projections may necessitate additional write-downs in the future. Market factors are generally outside of the Company’s control.

The Company generates a portion of its revenue from multiple elements sales arrangements. Revenue is recognized for each element when there is no remaining performance obligations required and is based on their relative fair value at the inception of the sales arrangement. If fair value cannot be determined, either due to changes in contract elements or other factors, it will be necessary to defer revenue until objective evidence of fair value exists or when the final elements are delivered.

1.12

Changes in Accounting Policies including Initial Adoption

EIC – 130 - CHANGE IN REPORTING CURRENCY

Prior to January 1, 2008, the Company reported its annual and quarterly consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows in Canadian dollars (CDN). In making the change in reporting currency, the Company followed the recommendations of the Emerging Issues Committee (EIC) of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA), set out in EIC-130, Translation Method when the Reporting Currency Differs from the Measurement Currency or there is a Change in the Reporting Currency.

In accordance with EIC-130, the financial statements for all the years and periods presented have been translated to the new reporting currency using the current rate method. Under this method, the statements of operations and cash

Page 10

Norsat International Inc. Management Discussion & Analysis

flows statement items for each year and period have been translated into the reporting currency using the average exchange rates prevailing during each reporting period. All assets and liabilities have been translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the consolidated balance sheets dates. Shareholders’ equity transactions translated using the rates of exchange in effect as at the date of the various capital transactions. All resulting exchange differences arising from the translation are included as a separate component of the other comprehensive income. All comparative financial information has been restated to reflect the Company’s results as if they had been historically reported in US dollars.

CICA – 1535 “CAPITAL DISCLOSURES” AND CICA 3862 and 3863 – “FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – PRESENTATION”

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted CICA Handbook Section 1535 – “Capital Disclosures” (“Section 1535”) and Sections 3862 and 3863 – “Financial Instruments – Presentation” (“Sections 3862 and 3863”). Section 1535 requires a company to disclose information that enables users of its financial statements to evaluate the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital, including disclosures of any externally imposed capital requirements and the consequences of non-compliance. Sections 3862 and 3863 require an increased emphasis on disclosures about the nature and extent of risk arising from financial instruments and how a company manages these risks. The adoption of these standards did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

CICA – 3031 – “INVENTORIES”

In accordance with the transitional provisions provided, the inventory change of $285,396 was adjusted to opening retained earnings as of the adoption date. The net effect of this adoption was an increase in inventory and a decrease to opening deficit.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company changed its estimate of provisions for inventory obsolescence on inventory items related to the Globetrekker family of products. Under paragraph 29A of CICA 3031, it would be appropriate to group these individual items as they are all related and form part of the same finished product.

During the quarter, the Company experienced a significant change in the volume of sales of Globetrekker products compared to previous years. Under the guidelines provided in paragraph 33 of CICA 3031, management concluded that the circumstances that caused inventories to be written down below cost no longer existed. Based on this conclusion, management reversed the amount of the write-down. The effect of this conclusion was a release of $88,589 from inventory provision.

IFRS

The accounting Standards Board of the CICA announced that Canadian GAAP for publicly accountable enterprises will be replaced with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011.

Implementing IFRS will have an impact on accounting financial reporting and supporting IT systems and processes.

It may also have an impact on taxes, contractual commitments involving GAAP based clauses, long-term employee compensation plans and performance metrics. Accordingly when the Company develops its IFRS plan, it will have to include measures to provide extensive training to key finance personnel to review contracts and agreements and to

Page 11

Norsat International Inc. Management Discussion & Analysis

increase the level of awareness and knowledge amongst management, the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee. Additional resources may be engaged to ensure the timely conversion to IFRS.

The Company has enlisted the assistance of Ernst & Young LLP in the performance of a diagnostic phase to evaluate the key challenges the company will face in implementing IFRS.

1.13

Financial Instruments and Other instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, short-term investments, accounts receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short term loans. The carrying value of cash, short-term investments, accounts receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short term loans is approximate to their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial assets and liabilities.

The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk as a result of components of cost being denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar. The Company has not entered into any derivative agreements to mitigate this risk.

Risks and Uncertainties

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FINANCIAL RESULTS

The Company’s inability to generate sufficient cash flows from its operations. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of operations. The application of the going concern basis is dependent upon the Company having sufficient available cash resources; renegotiating the terms of all or some portion of the short-term debts; and achieving profitable operations to generate sufficient cash flows to fund continued operations. Should the Company fail to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, it will require additional financing to remain a going concern. At June 30, 2008, the Company has accumulated a deficit of $34,574,401. The Company started to generate net profit from its continued operations through the fourth qu arter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2008. However, it cannot be used as an indication of the Company’s future performance.

In view of these conditions, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving profitable operations and on the ability of the Company to obtain additional financing. The outcome of these matters can not be predicted at this time. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business.

The Company’s inability to accurately forecast its results from quarter to quarter may affect its cash resources and result in wide fluctuations in the market price of the Company's stock. The operating results have varied on a quarterly basis in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of

Page 12

Norsat International Inc. Management Discussion & Analysis

factors, many of which are described below. Due to these and other factors, most of which are outside of the Company’s control, the quarterly revenues and operating results are difficult to forecast. As a result, the Company may not be able to accurately predict its necessary cash expenditures during each quarter or obtain financing in a timely manner to cover any shortfalls. The Company also believes that period-to-period comparisons of its operating results may not be meaningful and one should not rely on any such comparisons as an indication of its future performance.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

The Company’s exposure to business and operation risks includes but is not limited to the following:

The Company cannot be sure it will be able to identify emerging technology and market trends, enhance the existing technologies or develop new technologies in order to effectively compete in the satellite communications industry.

The Company has customer concentration. A significant portion of the Company’s revenues have been recognized from a limited number of customers. While the Company has been diversifying its customer base, the efforts to date may be insufficient to offset the effects of the quarterly variance of sales and delays associated with selling to the Government sector.

The Company cannot be sure that it will be able to compete effectively with the current competitors.

The Company has limited intellectual property protection.

The Company depends on its key employees and it cannot be sure that it will be able to keep these employees or hire and train replacements.

The Company sells products which may, in certain instances, be subject to export and/or re-export restrictions. The Company may also be subjected to penalties and fines should there be a breach in its processes. The Company has formed a committee to actively oversee compliance with all such export regulations.

The Company buys components and products which may, in certain instances, be subject to contractual obligations to purchase minimum quantities during a given period, maintain resale records and abide by certain resale restrictions. Failure to fulfill any or all of these may negatively impact liquidity should the Company be forced to take ownership of any un-purchased units. It may also affect the Company’s ability to continue supplying products as originally specified and thus affect obligations to fulfill customers.

The Company may be subject to product liability claims, which are not fully covered by insurance.

The Company intends to expand its international operations. It thus faces a number of risks including tariffs and other trade barriers, political and economic instability in foreign markets and fluctuations in foreign currencies. Those external risks may not be under the Company’s control. While the additional resources are required for the expansion, the Company cannot be sure its success and a failure of such expansion would have reversed impact on the Company’s business.

Readers are advised to assess to Form 20F filed under www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml for the full contents of “Risks Associated with Business and Operations”.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VALUE OF NORSAT SHARES

The exercise of the existing outstanding options and warrants to be issued may substantially dilute the value of the Company’s common shares. The Company has 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized, of which 53,695,605 were outstanding at June 30, 2008 and an additional 4,711,701 common shares have been reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants to be issued as of such date. Although the Board of Directors has no present intention to do so, it has the authority, within parameters set by the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”), without action by the shareholders, to issue authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock. Any series of Preferred Stock, if and when established and issued, could also have rights superior to shares of the Company’s Common Stock, particularly in regard to voting, the payment of dividends and upon liquidation of Norsat . Convertible debt, if issued to raise additional working capital for the Company could also have dilutive effect on the shareholders.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FOREIGN EXCHANGE

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations in the U.S. dollar. The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk as a result of components of cost being denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar. The Company had a forward contract to sell U$150,000 at a rate of C$1.0184 to U$1 and set to expire on July 11, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, this contract was still outstanding and was revalued at quarter end at the prevailing exchange rate. The net effect of the revaluation was an unrealized foreign exchange loss of $329.

Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that all relevant information is gathered and reported to senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) on a timely basis so that appropriate decisions can be made regarding public disclosure.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures was conducted as of June 30, 2008, by and under the supervision of the CEO and CFO. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Canada by Multilateral Instrument 52-109, Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings, and in the United States by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“the Exchange Act”) are effective to ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed in reports that are filed or submitted under Canadian securities legislation and the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in those rules and forms; and (ii) material information relating to the Company is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, i ncluding the CEO and CFO, or persons performing similar functions.

INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian GAAP and the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States, as applicable. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting for the Company.

The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting. Based on this revaluation, management has concluded that internal controls over financial reporting were designed effectively as of June 30, 2008.

As a result of this review it was determined that there were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal controls over financial reporting.

While the Company’s CEO and CFO believe that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting provide a reasonable level of assurance that they are effective, they do not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
