NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 — Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2001 and condensed consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the three month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 2001, and the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for the three months ended June 30, 2001 have been prepared by the management of ViaSat, Inc., and have not been audited. These financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2001 included in our 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of TrellisWare Technologies, Inc., a majority owned subsidiary of ViaSat. All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated.

In general, the functional currency of a foreign operation is deemed to be the local country’s currency. Consequently, assets and liabilities of operations outside the United States are generally translated into United States dollars, and the effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a component of stockholders’ equity.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates have been prepared on the basis of the most current and best available information, and actual results could differ from those estimates.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133,“Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, and for hedging activities. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS 137 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS 133,” which delayed the effective date of SFAS 133 to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. We were required to adopt SFAS 133 in the quarter ended June 30, 2001. SFAS 133 requires certain derivative instruments to be recorded at fair value. The adoption of SFAS 133 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 — Revenue Recognition

The majority of our revenues are derived from services performed under a variety of contracts including cost-plus-fixed fee, fixed-price, and time and materials type contracts. Generally, revenues are recognized as contracts are performed using the percentage of completion method, measured primarily by costs incurred to date compared with total estimated costs at completion or based on the number of units delivered. We provide for anticipated losses on contracts by a charge to income during the period in which they are first identified.

Contract costs with the U. S. Government and its prime contractors, including indirect costs, are subject to audit and negotiations with Government representatives. These audits have been completed and agreed upon through fiscal year 1997. Contract revenues and accounts receivable are stated at amounts which are expected to be realized upon final settlement.

NOTE 3 — Earnings Per Share

Common stock equivalents of 1,292,660 and 953,245 shares for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 2001, respectively, were used to calculate diluted earnings per share. Antidilutive shares excluded from the calculation were 301,648 and 1,902,183 shares for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 2001, respectively. Common stock equivalents are primarily comprised of options granted under our stock option plan.

The intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of three to nine years. The technology intangible asset has several components with estimated useful lives of six to nine years, contracts and relationships intangible asset has several components with estimated useful lives of three to nine years, acquired work force has an estimated useful life of five years and goodwill has an estimated useful life of seven years.

NOTE 5 — Contingencies

On September 15, 2000 ORBCOMM Global, L.P. (ORBCOMM) and seven of its subsidiaries filed a voluntary petition for Chapter 11 relief in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware as part of its efforts to restructure and reorganize its business. ORBCOMM has continued its efforts to maintain and operate its network of low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites and related ground facilities while it restructures its operations. On April 23, 2001, International Licensees, LLC was approved by the bankruptcy court as the buyer of ORBCOMM. International Licensees is a consortium of current ORBCOMM licensees and other investors. There remain some conditions with respect to financing set in bankruptcy that the International Licensees must fulfill in the future. A failure to meet these conditions could result in the unwinding of the purchase by the International Licensees. We are currently in negotiations with International Licensees relating to our relationship with ORBCOMM in the future,

including the potential assumption of all or part of our receivables and contracts in bankruptcy. The following table summarizes our assets related to ORBCOMM at June 30, 2001.

           
Accounts receivable-billed
  $ 4,628,000  
Accounts receivable-unbilled
    136,000  
 
   
 
 
Total
  $ 4,764,000  
 
   
 

We cannot make assurances that the assets listed above will be fully recovered. If we are unable to successfully complete our negotiations with ORBCOMM regarding the assumption of our receivables and contracts in bankruptcy, or if ORBCOMM is unable to successfully restructure its operations, it would substantially limit our ability to recover the assets listed above and could cause ViaSat to incur losses which could harm our business; however, we have not made any adjustments to the recorded amount for the assets as it is not possible at this time to reasonably estimate or determine what loss, if any, will be incurred.

We are currently a party to various contracts which require us to meet performance covenants and project milestones. Under the terms of these contracts, failure by us to meet such performance covenants and milestones permits the other party to terminate the contract and, under certain circumstances, recover liquidated damages or other penalties. We are currently not in compliance, or in the past were not in compliance, with the performance or milestone requirements of certain of these contracts. Historically, our customers have not elected to terminate such contracts or seek liquidated damages from us and management does not believe that its existing customers will do so; therefore, we have not accrued for any potential liquidated damages or penalties.

We may be in involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 6 — Segment Information

     We are organized primarily based on the basis of products with commercial and government (defense) communication applications. The following table summarizes and operating profits by operating segment for the three month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 2001. Certain corporate general and administrative costs, amortization of intangible assets and the charge of acquired in-process research and development are not allocated to either segment and accordingly, are shown as reconciling items from segment operating profit and consolidated operating profit. Assets are not tracked by operating segment. Consequently, it is not practical to show assets by operating segments.

NOTE 7 — New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” SFAS 141 addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations and supersedes APB Opinion No. 16, “Business Combinations,” and FASB Statement 38, “Accounting for Preacquisition Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises.” All business combinations in the scope of this Statement are to be accounted for using one method, the purchase method. The statement is applicable for all business combinations occurring after June 30, 2001. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 141 to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, “Intangible Assets.” It addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition. This Statement also addresses how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. This accounting pronouncement will be adopted on April 1, 2002. We are still evaluating the impact of SFAS 142 and therefore cannot estimate the impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 vs. Three Months Ended June 30, 2001

     Revenues. Revenues increased 33.3% from $36.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $48.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was primarily due to improvements in revenues generated by an increased volume of development programs and commercial terminal products.

     Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 17.8% from $12.6 million (34.5% of revenues) for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.9 million (30.5% of revenues) for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was primarily due to improvements in profitability on development contracts and the sale of higher volumes of commercial products. The decrease as a percentage of revenues partially resulted from the recognition of revenues on a study contract in the three months ended June 30, 2000.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased 38.7% from $5.8 million (15.7% of revenues) for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $8.0 million (16.4% of revenues) for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The increase was primarily due to the additional costs from the general growth of business and higher sales and marketing expenditures on commercial products. SG&A expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and expenses for business development, marketing and sales, bid and proposal, finance, contract administration and general

management. Certain of these expenses are difficult to predict and vary based on specific government and commercial sales opportunities.

     Independent Research and Development. Independent research and development expenses decreased 22.6% from $1.7 million (4.5% of revenues) for the three months ended June 30, 2000, to $1.3 million (2.6% of revenues) for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease resulted from the increase in awards of funded development contracts.

     Acquired In-Process Research and Development. Our acquisition of the satellite networks business of Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. in April of 2000 (the “Satellite Networks Business”) was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. In connection with this acquisition, a charge of $2.2 million (6.0% of revenues) for purchased in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) was included in our results for the three months ended June 30, 2000.

An independent valuation was performed and used as an aid in determining the fair value of the purchased IPR&D projects. There were three product areas identified in which there were research and development efforts underway where technological feasibility had not been reached.

The Satellite Networks Business is developing a next generation mobile subscriber communicator. This next generation product contains a new chipset, new connectors, added functionality, bigger programming space and a longer battery life than the legacy product and will be sold at a lower price. The estimated completion date at the time of the acquisition was November 2000. We estimated based on man hours incurred versus man hours required to complete the project that at the acquisition date the project was 77% complete and would require approximately $500,000 to complete. Using the income approach the value calculated for the IPR&D associated with the mobile subscriber communicator was $1.6 million. The market for this product has not materialized to the extent anticipated and, as a result, the completion date has been delayed.

The Satellite Networks Business also has the SkyRelay and the SkyLynx products. The SkyRelay development of a next generation terminal included a terminal with newer interfaces, an additional IP port and consolidated functionality onto a single card. At the time of acquisition, the project completion was expected to be in June of 2001 and we estimated based on man hours incurred versus man hours required to complete the project that the project was 15% complete and would require approximately $6.0 million to complete. Using the income approach the value calculated for the IPR&D associated with SkyRelay was $300,000. The production for this next generation SkyRelay product is expected to begin in fiscal 2002. The SkyLynx related IPR&D projects are the Mesh Working and 2mbps Channel Unit. Based on the same completion criteria as SkyRelay, it was estimated the SkyLynx related IPR&D was 60% complete at the date of acquisition and would require approximately $385,000 to complete. The estimated completion date at the time of acquisition was in fiscal 2002 for both projects. Also using the income approach, the value calculated for IPR&D associated with SkyLynx was $400,000. The IPR&D for the SkyRelay and SkyLynx products continues to progress, in all material respects, consistently with our original assumptions that were provided to the independent appraiser and used to value the IPR&D.

     Amortization of Intangible Assets. Intangible assets are being amortized over useful lives ranging from three to nine years. Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was $1.0 million (2.1% of revenues). This is an 88.0% increase over the amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2000, where amortization expense was $550,000 (1.5% of revenues) for the period from April 25, 2000 to the end of the quarter. The increase resulted from the intangible assets being held for the entire three months ended June 30, 2001 and a completed allocation to the intangible assets as part of the purchase price of the Satellite Networks Business.

     Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased from $32,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $5,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. Interest expense relates to loans for the purchase of capital equipment, which are generally three year variable rate term loans, and to short-term borrowings under our line of credit to cover working capital requirements. Total outstanding equipment loans were

$1.0 million at June 30, 2000, and $168,000 at June 30, 2001. There were no outstanding borrowings under our line of credit as of June 30, 2000 or 2001.

     Interest Income. Interest income decreased from $507,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $218,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease resulted from decreased invested balances. Interest income relates largely to interest earned on short-term deposits of cash.

     Equity in Loss of Joint Venture. Equity in loss of joint venture was $724,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This loss is from the joint venture named Immeon Networks, L.L.C., formed in January 2001 by ViaSat and Loral Skynet.

     Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rate decreased from 34.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to 32.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The difference relates primarily to increases in research and development tax credits.

Backlog

At June 30, 2001 we had firm backlog of $229.6 million of which $208.5 million was funded. The firm backlog of $229.6 million does not include contract options of $85.8 million. Of the $229.6 million in firm backlog, approximately $99.8 million is expected to be delivered in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2002, and the balance is expected to be delivered in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2003 and thereafter. We had firm backlog of $236.2 million, of which $212.3 million was funded, not including options of $55.4 million, at March 31, 2001. We include in our backlog only those orders for which we have accepted purchase orders. However, backlog is not necessarily indicative of future sales. A majority of our contracts can be terminated at the convenience of the customer since orders are often made substantially in advance of delivery, and our contracts typically provide that orders may be terminated with limited or no penalties. In addition, purchase orders may set forth product specifications that would require us to complete additional product development. A failure to develop products meeting such specifications could lead to a termination of the related purchase order.

The backlog amounts as presented are comprised of funded and unfunded components. Funded backlog represents the sum of contract amounts for which funds have been specifically obligated by customers to contracts. Unfunded backlog represents future amounts that customers may obligate over the specified contract performance periods. Our customers allocate funds for expenditures on long-term contracts on a periodic basis. Our ability to realize revenues from contracts in backlog is dependent upon adequate funding for such contracts. Although funding of contracts is not within our control, our experience indicates that actual contract fundings have ultimately been approximately equal to the aggregate amounts of the contracts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations to date primarily with cash flows from operations, bank line of credit financing, equity financing and loans for the purchase of capital equipment. Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $3.4 million and cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was $2.8 million. Increase in inventory and decrease in accounts payable were partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable.

Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $60.3 million and cash used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was $3.5 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2000, we acquired the Satellite Networks Business for cash of $59.4 million plus warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock valued at $1.2 million. In addition, we acquired $1.0 million in equipment in the three months ended June 30, 2000 (excluding the acquisition of the Satellite Networks Business) compared to $2.6 million of equipment during the three months ended June 30, 2001.

Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $73.6 million and cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was $621,000. This decrease was primarily the result of completing a secondary public stock offering for $73.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2000.

At June 30, 2001, we had $17.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and $87.7 million in working capital. On June 21, 2001 we executed a one year Revolving/Term Loan Agreement of $25.0 million from Union Bank of California, N.A. and Washington Mutual Bank, with Union Bank of California, N.A., as Administrative Agent. Under the revolving facility and the term loan facility, we have the option to borrow at the bank’s prime rate or at LIBOR plus, in each case, an applicable margin based on the ratio of our total debt to EBITDA (earnings before interest and taxes and depreciation and amortization). The agreement contains financial covenants that set maximum debt to EBITDA limits, minimum quarterly EBITDA limits, minimum quick ratio limit and a minimum tangible net worth limit. We had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving portion of the facility at June 30, 2001 and our existing equipment loan financing of $168,000 was funded by the term loan portion of the facility.

On September 15, 2000 ORBCOMM Global, L.P. (ORBCOMM) and seven of its subsidiaries filed a voluntary petition for Chapter 11 relief in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware as part of its efforts to restructure and reorganize its business. ORBCOMM has continued its efforts to maintain and operate its network of low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites and related ground facilities while it restructures its operations. We have approximately $5.0 million worth of receivables and other assets currently at risk with ORBCOMM. We cannot make assurances that the assets will be fully recovered. If ORBCOMM is unable to successfully restructure its operations it could cause ViaSat to incur losses up to the amount of the assets at risk; however, we have not made any adjustments to the recorded amount as it is not possible at this time to reasonably estimate or determine what loss, if any, will be incurred.

Our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including the progress of our research and development efforts, expansion of our marketing efforts, and the nature and timing of orders. We believe that our current cash balances and net cash expected to be provided by operating activities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. We invest our cash in excess of current operating requirements in short-term, interest-bearing, investment-grade securities.
