See accompanying notes to condensed financial statements. 5 7 VIASAT, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 1998 and the condensed statements of income and of cash flows for the three month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, and the statement of stockholders' equity for the three months ended June 30, 1998 have been prepared by ViaSat, Inc. (the "Company"), 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, 1998 included in the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year. NOTE 2 - MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. NOTE 3 - REVENUE RECOGNITION The majority of the Company's revenues are derived from services performed for the United States Government and its prime contractors under a variety of contracts including cost-plus-fixed fee, fixed-price, and time and materials type contracts. Generally, revenues are recognized as services 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. The Company provides for anticipated losses on contracts by a charge to income during the period in which they are first identified. Contract costs, including indirect costs, are subject to audit and negotiations with Government representatives. These audits have been completed and agreed upon through fiscal year 1995. Contract revenues and accounts receivable are stated at amounts which are expected to be realized upon final settlement. NOTE 4 - EARNINGS PER SHARE Common stock equivalents of 287,959 and 327,521 shares for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 were used to calculate diluted earnings per share. Common stock equivalents are primarily comprised of options granted under the Company's stock option plan. There are no reconciling items in calculating the numerator for basic and diluted earnings per share for any of the periods presented. 6 8 VIASAT, INC.

NOTE 7 - CONTINGENCIES The Company is currently a party to various government and commercial contracts which require the Company to meet performance covenants and project milestones. Under the terms of these contracts, failure by the Company to meet such performance covenants and milestones permit the other party to terminate the contract and, under certain circumstances, recover liquidated damages or other penalties. The Company is currently not in compliance, or in the past was not in compliance with the performance or milestone requirements of many of these contracts. Historically, the Company's customers have not elected to terminate such contracts or seek liquidated damages from the Company and management does not believe that its existing customers will do so; therefore, the Company has not accrued for any potential liquidated damages or penalties. 8 10 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS When used in this discussion, the words "believes," "anticipated" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to republish revised forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Readers are also urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by the Company which attempt to advise interested parties of the factors which affect the Company's business, including without limitation the disclosures made under the caption "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended March 31, 1998 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth, as a percentage of total revenues, certain income data for the periods indicated.
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, --------------------- 1998 1997 ----- ----- Revenue 100.0% 100.0% Cost of revenue 60.3 64.7 ----- ----- Gross profit 39.7 35.3 Operating expenses: Selling, general, and administrative 14.4 12.4 Independent research and development 11.9 11.2 ----- ----- Income from operations 13.4 11.8 Income before income taxes 13.8 12.9 Net income 8.5 8.1
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 Revenues. Revenues increased 12.6% from $14.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $16.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998. This increase was primarily due to increases in revenues generated by several product lines including JCS (Joint Communication Simulator) and MIDS (Multifunction Information Distribution System). These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenues derived from UHF DAMA network control stations. Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 26.5% from $5.1 million (35.3% of revenues) for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $6.5 million (39.7% of revenues) for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The Company's sales for the three months ended June 30, 1998 were comprised of higher margin products relative to the same quarter of the prior year. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased 31.6% from $1.8 million (12.4% of revenues) for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $2.4 million (14.4% of revenues) for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues reflects increased expenditures relating to marketing of commercial products, increased bid and proposal efforts for defense programs, and additional administrative staffing to support the Company's growth. 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 SG&A expenses are difficult to predict and vary based on specific government and commercial sales opportunities. 9 11 Independent Research and Development. Independent Research and Development ("IR&D") expenses increased 19.7% from $1.6 million (11.2% of revenues) for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $1.9 million (11.9% of revenues) for the three months ended June 30, 1998. This increase resulted primarily from higher IR&D expenses related to the Company's government products. Interest Expense. Interest expense increased from $50,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $70,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. Interest expense relates to loans for the purchase of capital equipment, which are generally four year fixed-rate term loans, and to short-term borrowings under the Company's line of credit to cover working capital requirements. Total outstanding equipment loans were $2.1 million at June 30, 1997 and $3.4 million at June 30, 1998. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Company's line of credit as of June 30, 1997 and 1998. Interest Income. Interest income decreased from $209,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $140,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. This decrease was primarily the result of lower cash balances. Interest income relates to interest earned on short-term deposits of cash. Provision for Income Taxes. The Company's effective income tax rate increased from 37% for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to 38% for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The Company's effective income tax rate increased due to a limitation on qualified research and development expenditures used to calculate the Company's research and development tax credit. BACKLOG At June 30, 1998, the Company had firm backlog of $66.9 million, of which $43.3 million was funded. The firm backlog of $66.9 million does not include contract options of $24.2 million. Of the $66.9 million in firm backlog, approximately $38.5 million is expected to be delivered in the fiscal year ending March 31, 1999, $18.2 million is expected to be delivered in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2000 and the balance is expected to be delivered in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2001 and thereafter. The Company had firm backlog of $72.7 million, of which $48.0 million was funded, not including options of $24.3 million, at March 31, 1998. The Company includes in its backlog only those orders for which it has accepted purchase orders. However, backlog is not necessarily indicative of future sales. A majority of the Company's backlog scheduled for delivery can be terminated at the convenience of the government since orders are often made substantially in advance of delivery, and the Company's 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 the Company 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. The Company's customers allocate funds for expenditures on long-term contracts on a periodic basis. The ability of the Company to realize revenues from government contracts in backlog is dependent upon adequate funding for such contracts. Although funding of its government contracts is not within the Company's control, the Company's experience indicates that actual contract fundings have ultimately been approximately equal to the aggregate amounts of the contracts. 10 12 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company has financed its operations to date primarily from cash flow from operations, bank line of credit financing, equity financing and loans for the purchase of capital equipment. Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was $2.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The relative increase in cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same period of the prior year was primarily due to the timing of receivable collections which were offset by decreased levels of accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was $239,000 and $693,000, respectively. The Company's purchase of fixed assets increased during the period, however this increase was offset by the maturity of certain short-term investments which were reinvested in cash equivalents. The Company's purchases of property and equipment primarily consist of test equipment and computers. Cash provided/(used) by financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was $1.2 million and ($187,000), respectively. This increase was primarily the result of borrowings for equipment financing and proceeds from the sale of common stock through the Company's employee stock option and purchase plans. At June 30, 1998, the Company had $11.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, $26.4 million in working capital and $3.4 million in long-term debt, which consisted of equipment financing. The Company had a zero balance under its line of credit at June 30, 1998. The Company's credit facility with Union Bank of California includes a $6.0 million line of credit and $4.5 million in commitments for equipment financing. The line of credit allows the Company to borrow, for general working capital purposes, the greater of $2.0 million or 80% of eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of the Company's eligible inventory. At the Company's option, interest accrues either at the bank's prime rate or at the bank's LIBOR rate plus 1.75%. The credit facility expires on September 15, 1998. The Company is required to pay a fee equal to 0.09% of the unused portion of the line of credit on a quarterly basis. The Company has commenced the evaluation of its computer systems and products to insure its operations will not be adversely effected by year 2000 software problems. Presently, the Company does not believe that year 2000 compliance will result in additional material investments by the Company, nor does the Company anticipate that the year 2000 problem will have a material adverse effect on the business operations or financial performance of the Company. There can be no assurances, however, that the year 2000 problem will not adversely effect the Company and its business. The Company's future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including the progress of the Company's research and development efforts, expansion of the Company's marketing efforts, and the nature and timing of commercial orders. The Company believes that its current cash balances, amounts available under its credit facilities and net cash expected to be provided by operating activities, will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. Management intends to invest the Company's cash in excess of current operating requirements in short-term, interest-bearing, investment-grade securities. ITEM 3.
