                                   (unaudited)

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of
Communications & Power Industries, Inc. ("CPI") have been prepared pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial
statements have been condensed or omitted and, accordingly, these financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the
notes thereto contained in CPI's October 3, 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Management believes that these unaudited interim condensed financial statements
contain all adjustments, all of which are of a normal, recurring nature,
necessary to present fairly the financial position of CPI, and its results of
operations and cash flows, for the interim period presented. The results for the
interim periods reported are not necessarily indicative of the results for the
full fiscal year 1998.

During the quarter ended July 3, 1998, CPI paid preferred stock dividends on its
Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock and its Junior Preferred Stock through the
issuance of 7,378 additional shares of its Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock and
4,919 shares of its Junior Preferred Stock, respectively. During the nine months
ended July 3, 1998, the Company paid preferred stock dividends through the
issuance of 21,393 shares of its Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock and 14,263
shares of its Junior Preferred Stock.

                         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED
                         CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
Communications & Power Industries Holding Corporation ("Holding") have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted and, accordingly,
these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto contained in Holding's October 3, 1997 Annual
Report on Form 10-K. Management believes that these unaudited interim condensed
financial statements contain all adjustments, all of which are of a normal,
recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position of Holding,
and its results of operations and cash flows, for the interim period presented.
The results for the interim periods reported are not necessarily indicative of

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

Orders during the third quarter of Fiscal 1998 were $53.4 million as compared to
$74.1 million for the third quarter of Fiscal 1997, a decrease of 27.9%
primarily related to the economic issues currently being faced by certain Far
East customers and domestic OEM's that sell to the Far East. Orders during the
first nine months of Fiscal 1998 were $197.2 million, a decrease of $18.6
million, or 8.6% below the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. However,
incoming order levels fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis and a
particular quarter's order rate may not be indicative of future order levels. In
addition, the Company's sales are highly dependent upon manufacturing
scheduling, performance and shipments and, accordingly, it is not possible to
accurately predict when these orders will be recognized as sales.

As of July 3, 1998, the Company had order backlog of $168.5 million,
representing approximately eight months of sales, compared to order backlog of
$180.9 million as of July 4, 1997.

Sales for the third quarter of Fiscal 1998 were $64.5 million compared to $66.2
million for the same period in Fiscal 1997, a decrease of 2.6%, primarily due to
the timing of customer-defined delivery schedules. Sales for the first nine
months of Fiscal 1998 were $190.6 million compared to $185.4 million for the
first nine months of Fiscal 1997. This increase of $5.2 million, or 2.8%, was
primarily the result of increased demand for products used in the radar market
and the successful transition of new transmitter product from development into
production.

In terms of markets, the sales increase for the first nine months of Fiscal 1998
was reflected in higher sales of products to the radar, electronic
countermeasures and medical markets of $7.7 million, $2.2 million and $1.1
million, respectively, partially offset by slight declines in the Company's
other three markets. In the communications market, the Company's largest market,
sales were $85.6 million, or 44.9% of total sales, compared to $88.8 million, or
47.9% of total sales, in the first nine months of Fiscal 1997. Communications
sales were down by $3.2 million, or 3.6%, primarily due to temporary weakness in
Asian markets, the completion of a major military satcom program and delays in
the procurement process of products identified for use in the wireless
communications market. Sales to the radar market, the Company's second largest
market, were $64.3 million, or 33.7% of total sales, during the first nine
months of Fiscal 1998 compared to $56.6 million, or 30.5% of total sales, during
the same period in Fiscal 1997. This increase of $7.7 million, or 13.6%, was the
result of increased demand for logistic spares and receipt of funding for
several large upgrade programs. Sales to the Company's other four markets
(electronic countermeasures, industrial, medical and scientific) were $40.7
million, or 21.4% of total sales, in the first nine months of Fiscal 1998
compared to $40.0 million, or 21.6% of total sales, in the first nine months of
Fiscal 1997.

Gross profit was $15.7 million, or 24.4% of sales, in the third quarter of
Fiscal 1998 compared to $19.4 million, or 29.4% of sales, in the third quarter
of Fiscal 1997 due to the lower sales volume mentioned above, lower margins
realized on the development and initial production of new products and higher
depreciation costs. Gross profit for the first nine months of Fiscal 1998 was
$48.4 million, or 25.4% of sales compared to $50.1 million, or 27.0% of sales,
over the comparable period in Fiscal 1997. This

              (A wholly owned subsidiary of Communications & Power
                        Industries Holding Corporation)

decrease of approximately $1.6 million, or 3.3% was primarily the result of an
increase in depreciation (approximately $1.0 million, or 17.4%, higher in the
first nine months of Fiscal 1998 than in the same time period in Fiscal 1997)
and lower margins on several new product development contracts partially offset
by higher sales volume.

Operating costs and expenses were $9.9 million, or 15.4% of sales for the third
quarter of Fiscal 1998, as compared to $10.5 million, or 15.8%, for the third
quarter of Fiscal 1997. Operating costs and expenses decreased between the two
time periods primarily due to accrual rates for the Company's management
incentive plan and the impact of favorable currency valuation rates in Europe.
Operating costs and expenses for the first nine months of Fiscal 1998 were $30.3
million, or 15.9% of sales, compared to $29.8 million, or 16.1% of sales, for
the first nine months of Fiscal 1997. During the first nine months of Fiscal
1998, operating costs increased by $0.5 million as $1.2 million of higher
general and administrative costs were partially offset by lower marketing and
research and development costs. The increase in general and administrative
expenses was primarily related to higher goodwill amortization from a product
line acquisition completed in the first quarter of Fiscal 1998, software upgrade
costs that address Year 2000 compliance at the Company's Massachusetts facility
and a $0.4 million increase in the Company's bad debt provision required due to
economic problems in Indonesia affecting the collectibility of a customer
receivable, along with the fact that the first quarter of Fiscal 1997 was
favorably impacted by the sale of a small product line

Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization
("EBITDA")(1) for the third quarter of Fiscal 1998 was $8.8 million, or 13.6% of
sales, compared to $11.4 million, or 17.2% of sales, for the third quarter of
Fiscal 1997. EBITDA for the first nine months of Fiscal 1998 was $26.6 million,
or 13.9% of sales, compared to $27.3 million, or 14.7% of sales, for the same
time period in Fiscal 1997. EBITDA declined by $0.7 million, or 2.5%, due
primarily to product mix and slightly lower margins on new development contract
as mentioned above.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the first nine months of Fiscal
1998 were $18.6 million, an increase of $12.9 million from the $5.7 million
provided by operating activities during the first nine months of Fiscal 1997.
Cash flow increased in spite of a slight decline in earnings due to improvement
in the timing of receivable collections and increased levels of accounts payable
that correspond to an increased level of inventory. Also in the first nine
months of Fiscal 1997, accrued expenses and the timing of payments required for
payroll, supplemental property taxes and interest payments consumed cash of $2.4
million compared to providing cash of $5.3 million in the first nine months of
Fiscal 1998. Overall, operating activities funded $11.2 million of repayments
against the Company's revolving credit facility and senior term loans during the
first nine months of Fiscal 1998.

Cash flows used by investing activities were comprised of expenditures for
property and equipment as well as product line enhancement. During the first
nine months of Fiscal 1998, the Company invested $4.4 million in new capital
equipment compared to $7.9 million spent during the same time period in Fiscal
1997. This capital expenditure reduction of $3.5 million was anticipated by the
Company and was primarily related to completing consolidation efforts in Fiscal
1997. Also during Fiscal 1998, the Company invested $2.7 million in two small
product line acquisitions to add to products currently being manufactured in the
Company's Beverly, Massachusetts and Palo Alto, California facilities.

Non-cash financing activities during the first nine months of Fiscal 1998
included $1.2 million of purchases under capital leases. These purchases were
related to the implementation of a new business enterprise system that is part
of the Company's overall plan to address "Year 2000" issues.

The Company's current primary source of liquidity, other than funds generated
from operations, is the $35.0 million revolving credit facility provided under
its senior credit agreement (of which $17.1 million was available as of July 31,
1998). Management believes that the Company will have adequate capital resources
and liquidity (including cash flow from operations and borrowing under its
revolving credit facility) to meet its obligations, fund all required capital
expenditures and pursue its business strategy for the foreseeable future and, in
any event, for the next 12 months.
