Senior Credit Facility and Term Loan of CPI: In fiscal year 2004, CPI entered into a $130.0 million credit agreement, which was amended and restated on November 29, 2004, and further amended on February 16, 2005, April 13, 2005, and December 15, 2005 (the “Senior Credit Facility”). The Senior Credit Facility consists of a $40.0 million revolving commitment, with a sub-facility of $15.0 million for letters of credit and $5.0 million for swingline loans (“Revolver”), which expires on January 23, 2010, and a $90.0 million term loan (“Term Loan”), which expires on July 23, 2010. As of March 30, 2007, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolver and $37.5 million outstanding under the Term Loan, after taking into account a $5.0 million Term Loan repayment in December 2006 using available operating cash. The $5.0 million Term Loan repayment included a $1.7 million ECF (as defined below) payment, and an optional prepayment of $3.3 million. In December 2005, CPI borrowed $10.0 million on the Term Loan to pay a dividend to CPI International. CPI International used the proceeds of that dividend to pay a portion of the special cash dividend of $17.0 million to its stockholders. Upon certain specified conditions, including compliance on a pro forma basis with the covenants in the Senior Credit Facility, CPI may seek commitments for a new class of term loans, not to exceed $65.0 million. The Senior Credit Facility is guaranteed by CPI International and all of CPI’s domestic subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all of their assets.

Any borrowings under the Revolver would currently bear interest at a rate equal to, at CPI’s option, LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum, or the Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) plus 1.75% per annum. Available borrowings under the Revolver are reduced by any amounts secured through letters of credit; at March 30, 2007, the Company had letters of credit commitments for $3.8 million. The Term Loan borrowings currently bear interest at a rate equal to, at CPI’s option, LIBOR plus 2.25% per annum or the ABR plus 1.25% per annum, payable quarterly. The ABR is the greater of (a) the Prime Rate and (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. In addition to customary fronting and administrative fees under the Senior Credit Facility, CPI pays letter of credit participation fees equal to the applicable Revolver LIBOR margin per annum on the average daily amount of the letter of credit exposure, and a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on the average daily unused amount of revolving commitment. As of March 30, 2007 (1) the Term Loan borrowing consisted of one tranche of $5.5 million and one tranche of $32.0 million with interest payable on April 12, 2007 and April 23, 2007, each at 7.6% per annum, and (2) a Revolving commitment of $3.8 million for letter of credit exposure, with letter of credit participation fees and fronting fees payable quarterly at a combined interest rate of 3.0% per annum.

The Senior Credit Facility requires 1.0% of the original Term Loan amount to be repaid annually in quarterly installments of 0.25% beginning June 30, 2004 and continuing for five years, with the remainder due in equal quarterly installments thereafter. CPI is required to prepay its outstanding loans, subject to certain exceptions and limitations, with net cash proceeds received from certain events, including, without limitation (1) all such proceeds received from certain asset sales by CPI International, CPI or any of CPI’s subsidiaries, (2) all such proceeds received from issuances of debt (other than certain specified permitted debt) or preferred stock by CPI International, CPI or any of CPI’s subsidiaries, (3) all such proceeds paid to CPI International, CPI or any of CPI’s subsidiaries from casualty and condemnation events in excess of amounts applied to replace, restore or reinvest in any properties for which proceeds were paid within a specified period and (4) 50% of such proceeds received from issuances of common equity by, or equity contributions to, CPI International.

CPI is also required to make an annual prepayment within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year based on a calculation of Excess Cash Flow, as defined in the Senior Credit Facility (“ECF”), multiplied by a factor of 25%, 50% or 75% depending on the leverage ratio at the end of the fiscal year, less optional prepayments made during the fiscal year. On December 30, 2004, CPI made an ECF payment of $3.9 million. The ECF payment was applied pro rata, in accordance with the provisions of the Senior Credit Facility, against the remaining scheduled installments of Term Loan principal due up to, but not including, the September 30, 2009 scheduled principal installment. The Company made an ECF payment of $1.7 million for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2006 in December 2006 and there is no expected ECF payment due for fiscal year 2007, primarily because of the $3.3 million optional prepayment that was made in December 2006.

CPI can make optional prepayments on the outstanding loans at any time without premium or penalty, except for customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBOR loans. In March 2005, CPI made an optional prepayment of $5.7 million; in May 2006, CPI made additional optional prepayments of $47.5 million in the aggregate using proceeds from the initial public offering of CPI International’s common stock (the “IPO”); and in December 2006, CPI made an additional prepayment of $3.3 million. The optional prepayments were applied pro rata, in accordance with the provisions of the Senior Credit Facility, against the remaining scheduled installments of Term Loan principal due up to June 30, 2009, with the balance applied to scheduled installment amounts on or after September 30, 2009, in direct order of maturity.

The Senior Credit Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the ability of CPI International, CPI and CPI’s domestic subsidiaries to: sell assets; engage in mergers and acquisitions; pay dividends and distributions or repurchase their capital stock; incur additional indebtedness or issue equity interests; make investments and loans; create liens or further negative pledges on assets; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; amend agreements or make prepayments relating to subordinated indebtedness; and amend or waive provisions of charter documents in a manner materially adverse to the lenders. CPI and CPI’s subsidiaries must comply with: a minimum interest coverage ratio; a maximum total leverage ratio; a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio; and a maximum capital expenditures limitation, each calculated on a consolidated basis for CPI and CPI’s subsidiaries. CPI International must also comply with a minimum interest coverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio, each calculated on a consolidated basis for CPI International and its subsidiaries. As of March 30, 2007, CPI and CPI International were in compliance with all Senior Credit Facility financial covenants.

11




Subject in certain cases to applicable notice provisions and grace periods, events of default under the Senior Credit Facility include, among other things: failure to make payments when due; breaches of representations and warranties in the documents governing the Senior Credit Facility; non-compliance by CPI International, CPI and/or CPI’s subsidiaries with certain covenants; failure by CPI International, CPI and/or CPI’s subsidiaries to pay certain other indebtedness or to observe any other covenants or agreements that would allow acceleration of such indebtedness, collectively in excess of $5.0 million at any time; events of bankruptcy or insolvency of CPI International, CPI and/or CPI’s subsidiaries; certain uninsured and unstayed judgments of $5.0 million or more against CPI International; impairment of the security interests in the collateral or the guarantees under the Senior Credit Facility; and a change in control, as defined in the documents governing the Senior Credit Facility.

8% Senior subordinated notes of CPI: In connection with a business combination on January 23, 2004, CPI issued $125.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 8% Senior Subordinated Notes (the “8% Notes”). The 8% Notes have no sinking fund requirements.

The 8% Notes bear interest at the rate of 8.0% per year, payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The 8% Notes will mature on February 1, 2012. The 8% Notes are unsecured obligations, jointly and severally guaranteed by CPI International and each of CPI’s domestic subsidiaries. The payment of all obligations relating to the 8% Notes are subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of all senior debt (as defined in the indenture governing the 8% Notes) of CPI, including debt under the Senior Credit Facility. Each guarantee of the 8% Notes is and will be subordinated to guarantor senior debt (as defined in the indenture governing the 8% Notes) on the same basis as the 8% Notes are subordinated to CPI’s senior debt.

At any time or from time to time on or after February 1, 2008, CPI, at its option, may redeem the 8% Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on February 1 of the years indicated below:

At any time on or prior to February 1, 2008, the 8% Notes may also be redeemed or purchased (by CPI or any other person) in whole but not in part, at CPI’s option, upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the indenture governing the 8% Notes) at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 8% Notes, plus a “make-whole” premium (as defined in the indenture governing the 8% Notes) to the redemption price on February 1, 2008, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, the date of redemption or purchase. Upon a change of control, CPI may be required to purchase all or any part of the 8% Notes for a cash price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase.

12




The indenture governing the 8% Notes contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the ability of CPI and its restricted subsidiaries (as defined in the indenture governing the 8% Notes) to incur additional indebtedness, sell assets, consolidate or merge with or into other companies, pay dividends or repurchase or redeem capital stock or subordinated indebtedness, make certain investments, issue capital stock of their subsidiaries, incur liens and enter into certain types of transactions with their affiliates.

Events of default under the indenture governing the 8% Notes include: failure to make payments on the 8% Notes when due; failure to comply with covenants in the indenture governing the 8% Notes; a default under certain other indebtedness of CPI or any of its restricted subsidiaries that is caused by a failure to make payments on such indebtedness or that results in the acceleration of the maturity of such indebtedness; the existence of certain final judgments or orders against CPI or any of the restricted subsidiaries; and the occurrence of certain insolvency or bankruptcy events.

Floating rate senior notes of CPI International: On February 22, 2005, CPI International issued $80.0 million in principal amount of its Floating Rate Senior Notes (“FR Notes”). The FR Notes were issued at a 1% discount. The proceeds from the issuance of FR Notes were used to make a distribution to stockholders of CPI International of approximately $75.8 million and to pay fees and expenses of approximately $3.5 million associated with the issuance of FR Notes. The FR Notes have no sinking fund requirements.

The FR Notes require interest payments at an annual interest rate, reset at the beginning of each semi-annual period, equal to the then six-month LIBOR plus 5.75%, payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The interest rate on the semi-annual interest payment due August 1, 2007 is approximately 11.15% per annum. CPI International may, at its option, elect to pay interest through the issuance of additional FR Notes for any interest payment date on or before February 1, 2010. If CPI International elects to pay interest through the issuance of additional FR Notes, the annual interest rate on the FR Notes will increase by an additional 1% step-up, with the step-up increasing by an additional 1% for each interest payment made through the issuance of additional FR Notes (up to a maximum of 4%). The FR Notes will mature on February 1, 2015.

The FR Notes are general unsecured obligations of CPI International. The FR Notes are not guaranteed by any of CPI International’s subsidiaries but are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of CPI International’s subsidiaries. The FR Notes are senior in right of payment to CPI International’s existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the FR Notes.

Because CPI International is a holding company with no operations of its own, CPI International relies on distributions from CPI to satisfy its obligations under the FR Notes. The Senior Credit Facility and the indenture governing the 8% Notes restrict CPI’s ability to make distributions to CPI International. The Senior Credit Facility prohibits CPI from making distributions to CPI International unless there is no default under the Senior Credit Facility and CPI International and CPI satisfy certain leverage ratios. The indenture governing the 8% Notes prohibits CPI from making distributions to CPI International unless, among other things, there is no default under the indenture and the amount of the proposed dividend plus all previous Restricted Payments (as defined in the indenture governing the 8% Notes) does not exceed a specified amount.

13




At any time or from time to time CPI International, at its option, may redeem the Notes in whole or in part at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on February 1 of the years indicated below:

Upon a change of control, as defined in the indenture governing the FR Notes, CPI International may be required to purchase all or any part of the outstanding FR Notes for a cash price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase.

The indenture governing the FR Notes contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of CPI International and its restricted subsidiaries (as defined in the indenture governing the FR Notes) to incur additional indebtedness, sell assets, consolidate or merge with or into other companies, pay dividends or repurchase or redeem capital stock or subordinated indebtedness, make certain investments, issue capital stock of their subsidiaries, incur liens and enter into certain types of transactions with their affiliates.

Events of default under the indenture governing the FR Notes include: failure to make payments on the FR Notes when due; failure to comply with covenants in the indenture governing the FR Notes; a default under certain other indebtedness of CPI International or any of its restricted subsidiaries that is caused by a failure to make payments on such indebtedness or that results in the acceleration of the maturity of such indebtedness; the existence of certain final judgments or orders against CPI International or any of the restricted subsidiaries; and the occurrence of certain insolvency or bankruptcy events.

4.                                      Stockholders’ Equity

Common and Preferred Stock: On April 7, 2006, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to provide for 90,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. The holder of each share of common stock has the right to one vote. The board of directors has the authority to issue the undesignated preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof. As of March 30, 2007 and September 29, 2006, there were no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

On April 7, 2006, in connection with the amendment and restatement of its certificate of incorporation, the Company also effected a 3.059-to-1 stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock as of such date. All share and per share amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been retroactively restated to reflect this stock split.

On May 3, 2006, the Company completed the IPO of its common stock. The Company sold 2,941,200 shares of common stock and the selling stockholders sold 4,117,670 shares, at an initial public offering price to the public of $18.00 per share, resulting in proceeds to the Company of approximately $47.3 million, net of IPO transaction costs of approximately $5.6 million. The Company used the net proceeds to repay $47.3 million of the Term Loan under the Senior Credit Facility.

5.                                      Share-based Compensation Plans

The Company has four stock plans: the 2006 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2006 ESPP”), the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”) and the 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”).

2006 Plan: The 2006 Plan provides for an aggregate of up to 1,400,000 shares of CPI International’s common stock to be available for awards, plus the number of shares subject to awards granted under the 2004 Plan and the 2000 Plan that are forfeited, expire or are cancelled after the effective date of the 2006 Plan. All of the Company’s employees (including officers), directors, and consultants are eligible for awards under the 2006 Plan. The 2006 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (“Compensation Committee”) and awards may consist of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, other stock unit awards, performance awards, dividend equivalents or any combination of the foregoing. The exercise price for stock options generally cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant.

2006 ESPP: The 2006 ESPP permits eligible employees to purchase common stock at a discounted price. An aggregate of 760,000 shares of common stock is reserved for issuance under this plan. The stock purchase plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. Employees participating in the plan may purchase stock for their accounts according to a price formula set by the Compensation Committee, as administrator, before the applicable offering period, which cannot exceed 24 months. The price per share will equal a fixed percentage (which may not be lower than 85%) of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the last day of the purchase period in the offering, or the lower of (1) a fixed percentage (not to be less than 85%) of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of commencement of participation in the offering and (2) a fixed percentage (not to be less than 85%) of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of purchase. The initial 2006 ESPP offering

15




period began on July 1, 2006; the participants’ purchase price for CPI International, Inc. common stock will be 85% of the closing market price on the last trading day of each quarter.

2004 Plan: No further options are available for issuance under the 2004 Plan. The Company issued both time and performance stock option awards under the 2004 Plan. All stock option grants under the 2004 Plan were issued at exercise prices equal to or greater than the estimated market price of the Company’s common stock at option grant date.

2000 Plan: No further options are available for issuance under the 2000 Plan. In accordance with the terms of the stock option agreements, the unvested stock options outstanding under the 2000 Plan became fully vested in February 2004 in connection with a business combination. The 2000 Plan option holders were offered the opportunity to either roll over their stock options from the predecessor company into options to purchase common stock of CPI International or exercise their stock options. Management elected to roll over options to purchase 912,613 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.20 to $0.74 per share.

The grant date fair value of awards granted during the first six months of fiscal year 2007 was estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options pricing model, assuming no expected dividends and the following ranges of assumptions:

Expected term (in years)

 

5.99 — 6.25

Expected volatility

 

49.33%

Risk-free rate

 

4.56% — 4.73%

Grant date fair value

 

$7.66 — $9.07

 

16




Since the Company’s common stock has not been publicly traded for a sufficient time period, the expected volatility is based on expected volatilities of similar companies that have a longer history of being publicly traded. The expected life of options granted is based on the simplified method for plain vanilla options in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The risk-free rates are based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant.

Cash received from option exercises under all share-based payment arrangements during the first six months of fiscal year 2007 was $0.5 million. The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $2.7 million during the first six months of fiscal year 2007. There were no options granted or exercised during the first six months of fiscal year 2006.

As of March 30, 2007, there was approximately $4.2 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 2.4 years.

Restricted Stock Awards: There were 11,466 and 9,999 shares of restricted stock granted to directors outstanding as of March 30, 2007 and September 29, 2006, respectively. The restricted stock awards vest over periods of one to three years and have a 10 year contractual life.

As of March 30, 2007, there was $0.2 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested restricted stock awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 1.6 years.

Share-Based Compensation Cost: There was no unrecognized compensation cost relating to stock options outstanding at the beginning of fiscal year 2006 and no stock options were granted during the first six months of fiscal year 2006. Therefore, there was no share-based compensation cost in the first six months of fiscal year 2006. Total share-based compensation cost for the Company’s stock plans in the first six months of fiscal year 2007 comprise the following:

6.                                      Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses forward exchange contracts to hedge the foreign currency exposure associated with forecasted manufacturing costs in Canada. As of March 30, 2007, CPI had outstanding forward contract commitments to purchase Canadian dollars for an aggregate U.S. notional amount of $21.5 million; the last forward contract expires on December 17, 2007. At March 30, 2007 and September 29, 2006, the fair value of foreign currency forward contracts was a net liability of $0.2 million and an asset of $0.1 million, respectively, and the unrealized (loss) gain was $(0.1) million and $8 thousand, net of related tax expense, respectively.

The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are designated as a cash flow hedge and are considered highly effective, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” The unrealized gains and losses from foreign exchange forward contracts are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and the Company anticipates recognizing the entire unrealized loss in operating earnings within the next twelve months. Changes in the fair value of foreign currency forward contracts due to changes in time value are excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, and are immediately recognized in General and Administrative in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The time value was not material for first six months of fiscal years 2007 and 2006. If the transaction being hedged fails to occur, or if a portion of any derivative is ineffective, then the Company promptly recognizes the gain or loss on the associated financial instrument in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. No ineffective amounts were recognized due to anticipated transactions failing to occur in the first six months of fiscal years 2007 and 2006. Realized gains and losses from foreign currency forward contracts are recognized in cost of sales and general and administrative in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Net income in the first six months of fiscal year 2007 includes a recognized loss from foreign currency forward contracts of $0.1 million. Net income in the first six months of fiscal year 2006 includes a recognized gain from foreign currency forward contracts of $1.0 million.

18




In April 2005, the Company expanded its use of derivatives to hedge the interest rate exposure associated with the FR Notes. On April 15, 2005, the Company entered into an $80 million interest rate swap contract (“the Swap”) to receive variable rate 6-month LIBOR interest and pay 4.15% fixed rate interest, which when combined with the 5.75% margin, results in a fixed rate of 9.9% on the FR Notes through January 31, 2008. The Swap interest payments are made semi-annually, beginning with the first payment on February 1, 2006. The Swap matures on January 31, 2008. In fiscal year 2005, the Company deposited $1.0 million as collateral for the Swap; the amount of collateral fluctuates based on the fair value of the Swap. In fiscal year 2006, the Company received a $0.5 million refund of the Swap collateral. The Swap collateral remaining is reported as Prepaid and Other Current Assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 30, 2007, and as Other Long-term Assets as of September 29, 2006. The unrealized gains and losses from the Swap are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The ineffective portion of the Swap was not significant, and the interest rate swap gain or loss are included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. At March 30, 2007 and September 29, 2006, the fair value of the Swap was an asset of $0.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and the unrealized gain, net of related tax expense, was $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

7.                                      Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 37% and 44% for the first six months of fiscal year 2007 and 2006, respectively. The lower effective income tax rate in the first six months of fiscal year 2007 was primarily due to a change in filing position that was made in the third quarter of fiscal year 2006 as a result of foreign income tax planning activities, discrete tax benefits related to prior year foreign tax filings and lower effective income tax rates in the first six months of fiscal year 2007 in certain foreign jurisdictions primarily due to decreases in the Canadian statutory tax rates. The effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal year 2006 included a $0.3 million charge attributable to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005 consisting of $0.5 million to correct the overstatement of tax benefits recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005 for stock-based compensation expense that is not deductible for income tax purposes in a foreign tax jurisdiction, offset by reversal of a $0.2 million tax contingency reserve that was no longer required. Without the correction to the overstatement of tax benefits, the Company’s effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal year 2006 would have been approximately 41%.

8.                                      Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common and dilutive potential common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Potential common equivalent shares consist of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method.

As further discussed in Note 4, on April 7, 2006, in connection with the amendment and restatement of its certificate of incorporation, the Company effected a 3.059-to-1 split of its outstanding shares of common stock as of such date. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect this stock split.

Amounts not reported as VED or satcom equipment are reported as other. Other consists primarily of corporate operating expenses and certain other expenses that are managed by the corporate organization, such as business combination-related expenses, share-based compensation expense, and certain non-recurring or unusual expenses. The first six months of fiscal year 2006 included non-recurring expenses for a special bonus of $3.25 million and expenses of $2.5 million related to the relocation of the Company’s Eimac operations from its former San Carlos, California facility to its nearby Palo Alto, California and Mountain View, California facilities. The special bonus was paid to employees and directors (other than directors who are employees or affiliates of Cypress) to reward them for the increase in Company value.

EBITDA represents earnings before provision for income taxes, net interest expense and depreciation and amortization. For the reasons listed below, the Company believes that GAAP-based financial information for leveraged businesses such as the Company’s business should be supplemented by EBITDA so that investors better understand the Company’s financial performance in connection with their analysis of the Company’s business:

·                    EBITDA is a component of the measures used by the Company’s board of directors and management team to evaluate the Company’s operating performance;

·                    the Senior Credit Facility contains covenants that require the Company to maintain certain interest expense coverage and leverage ratios that contain EBITDA as a component, and the Company’s management team uses EBITDA to monitor compliance with such covenants;

·                    EBITDA is a component of the measures used by the Company’s management team to make day-to-day operating decisions;

·                    EBITDA facilitates comparisons between the Company’s operating results and those of competitors with different capital structures and therefore is a component of the measures used by the Company’s management to facilitate internal comparisons to competitors’ results and the Company’s industry in general; and

·                    the payment of management bonuses is contingent upon, among other things, the satisfaction by the Company of certain targets that contain EBITDA as a component.

Other companies may define EBITDA differently and, as a result, the Company’s measure of EBITDA may not be directly comparable to EBITDA of other companies. Although the Company uses EBITDA as a financial measure to assess the performance of its business, the use of EBITDA is limited because it does not include certain material costs, such as interest and taxes, necessary to operate the Company’s business. When analyzing the Company’s performance, EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income, cash flows from operating activities or other statements of operations or statements of cash flows data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The United States Government is the only customer that accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s consolidated sales in the first six months of fiscal years 2007 and 2006. Direct sales to the United States Government were $29.0 million and $27.8 million for first six months of fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively. Accounts receivable from this customer represented 14% of consolidated accounts receivable as of March 30, 2007 and September 29, 2006.

There were no individual foreign countries with sales greater than 10% of total sales for the periods presented.

10.                               Sale of San Carlos Assets

In February 2003, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the land and close its facilities located in San Carlos, California to consolidate the Company’s Eimac operations into the Company’s existing facility in nearby Palo Alto, California. In September 2006, the sale was completed. The aggregate sales proceeds were $24.8 million, of which $11.3 million was received in September 2006 and $13.5 million was received as advance payments in fiscal 2004. The Company had total selling costs of

22




$1.3 million related to the sale of the San Carlos property. The aggregate sales proceeds of $24.8 million less the related selling costs of $1.3 million, offset by the land and building’s net book value of approximately $23.5 million, resulted in no gain or loss on the sale.

11.                               Special Cash Dividend

In December 2005, the Board of Directors declared and paid a special cash dividend to stockholders of $17.0 million. This dividend was paid using (a) the $10.0 million in net proceeds obtained from the additional borrowing under the Senior Credit Facility in connection with the December 2005 amendment thereto, and (b) available cash.

12.                               Recently Released Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Income Tax Uncertainties” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements as “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority. The recently issued literature also provides guidance on the derecognition, measurement and classification of income tax uncertainties, along with any related interest and penalties. FIN 48 also includes guidance concerning accounting for income tax uncertainties in interim periods and increases the level of disclosures associated with any recorded income tax uncertainties. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Any differences between the amounts recognized in the statements of financial position prior to the adoption of FIN 48 and the amounts reported after adoption will be accounted for as a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to the beginning balance of retained earnings. The Company will be required to adopt FIN 48 in fiscal year 2008 and is currently in the process of determining the impact, if any, of adopting the provisions of FIN 48 on its financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under other accounting pronouncements that permit or require fair value measurements, changes the methods used to measure fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In particular, disclosures are required to provide information on: the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities; the inputs used to develop measurements; and the effect of certain of the measurements on earnings (or changes in net assets). SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption, as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, is also permitted, provided interim financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS No. 157 in fiscal year 2008 and is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R),” which requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit plan as an asset or liability in its condensed consolidated balance sheet. Under SFAS No. 158, actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs or credits that have not yet been recognized through earnings as net periodic benefit cost will be recognized in other comprehensive income, net of tax, until they are amortized as a component of net periodic benefit cost. SFAS No. 158 is effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006 and shall not be applied retrospectively. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS No. 158 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007 and is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS No. 158 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

23




In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB No. 108”). SAB No. 108 provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in the current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires registrants to quantify misstatements using both a balance sheet and an income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB No. 108 does not change the guidance in SAB No. 99, “Materiality,” when evaluating the materiality of misstatements. SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. Upon initial application, SAB No. 108 permits a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings. The Company will be required to adopt SAB No. 108 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007 and believes at this time that the adoption of SAB No. 108 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective of SFAS 159 is to provide opportunities to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 will be effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this statement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

13.                               Supplemental Guarantors Condensed Consolidating Financial Information (Unaudited)

On January 23, 2004, CPI issued $125.0 million of 8% Notes that are guaranteed by CPI International and all of CPI’s domestic subsidiaries. Separate financial statements of the guarantors are not presented because (i) the guarantors are wholly-owned and have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the 8% Notes on a joint and several basis and (ii) the Company’s management has determined that such separate financial statements are not material to investors. Instead, presented below are the consolidating financial statements of: (a) the parent or CPI International, (b) the issuer, CPI, (c) the guarantor subsidiaries (all of the domestic subsidiaries), (d) the non-guarantor subsidiaries, (e) the consolidating elimination entries, and (f) the consolidated totals. The accompanying consolidating financial information should be read in connection with the condensed consolidated financial statements of CPI International.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for based on the equity method. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries, intercompany balances, intercompany transactions and intercompany sales.
