PART 1
ITEM 1: BUSINESS
GENERAL
Communications & Power Industries Holding Corporation, Inc. ("Holding"), through
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Communications & Power Industries, Inc. ("CPI",
both companies together referred to as the "Company"), is a world leader in the
development, manufacture and distribution of components for systems used
primarily to generate, amplify and transmit high-power/high-frequency microwave
and radio frequency signals. End-use applications of these systems include the
transmission and amplification of voice, data and video signals for broadcasting
and telecommunications, transmission of radar signals for navigation and
location, transmission of false signals for electronic countermeasures (e.g.,
decoys and signal "jammers") and various other uses in the industrial, medical
and scientific markets.
The Company's products include microwave and power grid vacuum electronic
devices, microwave amplifiers, modulators, and various other power supply
equipment and devices. These products are consumable and have a finite life
based upon hours of usage, operating environment and application. The Company
operates six manufacturing locations in North America, and sells and services
its products and customers worldwide primarily through a direct sales force.
Communications & Power Industries, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Communications & Power Industries Holding Corporation. Both Holding and CPI are
Delaware corporations formed in 1995. Prior to August 11, 1995, the Company's
operations were part of the Electron Devices Business division (the
"Predecessor") of Varian Associates, Inc. ("Varian") and, except as the context
may otherwise require, the term the "Company" as used in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K refers to both the Company and the Predecessor. The principal
executive offices of Holding and CPI are located at 607 Hansen Way, Palo Alto,
California 94303 and their telephone number is (650) 846-2900.
PRODUCTS
The Company offers a comprehensive range of microwave and power grid vacuum
electronic devices, microwave amplifiers, modulators and various other power
supply equipment and devices for use in the communication, radar, electronic
countermeasures, industrial, medical and scientific markets. The Company offers
over 6,600 products which generally have selling prices from $2,000 to $50,000,
with certain products ranging in price up to $1,000,000. These products are
consumable and have a finite life based upon hours of usage, operating
environment and application. Certain of the Company's products are sold in more
than one market depending on the specific power and frequency requirements of
the end-user and the physical operating conditions of the environment in which
the vacuum electronic device will be located.
Specific products which the Company offers include:
- VACUUM ELECTRONIC DEVICES. Helix traveling wave vacuum electronic
devices, klystron amplifiers, klystron oscillators, gyrotrons,
coupled cavity traveling wave vacuum electronic devices,
magnetrons, ring loop traveling wave vacuum electronic devices,
cross field amplifiers, extended interaction klystrons, power grid
vacuum electronic devices, Klystrodes(R) and inductive output
vacuum electronic devices.
-1-
<PAGE> 3
- AMPLIFIERS. Satellite communication amplifiers, instrumentation
amplifiers, traveling wave vacuum electronic device transmitters,
FET modulators, magnetron modulators, test sets, X-ray generators,
Heat Wave(TM) products, microwave power modules, microwave power
boosters, traveling wave vacuum electronic device amplifiers and
millimeter wave subsystems.
- RELATED DEVICES. Diode switches, waveguide assemblies, pressure
windows, receiver protectors, hermetic seals, high voltage power
supplies and radio frequency cavities.
MARKETS
The Company's products are used primarily to generate, amplify and transmit
high-power/high-frequency microwave, electronic and radio frequency signals.
End-use applications of these devices include the transmission and amplification
of voice, data, and video signals for broadcasting and telecommunications,
transmission of radar signals for navigation and location, transmission of false
radar signals for electronic countermeasures (e.g., decoys and signal "jammers")
and various other uses in the industrial, medical and scientific markets.
In Fiscal 1997, commercial sales, which represent sales for which a U.S.
Government entity is not the end-user, represented approximately $190.1 million,
or 75% of the Company's total sales, compared to approximately $187.9 million,
or 73%, in Fiscal 1996. U.S. Government sales, both direct and through original
equipment manufacturers ("OEM"), represented approximately $63.3 million, or 25%
of the Company's total sales, compared to approximately $69.5 million, or 27%,
in Fiscal 1996. These percentages reflect the Company's development of products
for the commercial marketplace. Prior to 1990, the Company's primary customers
were U.S. Government agencies and OEMs manufacturing defense-related products.
In Fiscal 1989, U.S. Government sales represented approximately 48% of the
Company's sales. Since the late 1980s, the United States defense budget has been
shrinking; however, based on a stable trend of order receipts for spares and
upgrades from Fiscal 1995 to Fiscal 1997, management expects that U.S.
Government and defense-related end-users will continue to provide a steady
source of revenue.
In Fiscal 1997, approximately 67% of sales were derived from U.S. customers,
while approximately 33% were derived from international customers. Many domestic
OEMs, primarily those in the satellite communications market, export their
products, and management believes that some percentage of the Company's sales to
U.S. customers ultimately have international end-users. Excluding sales to the
U.S. Government, no single customer accounted for more than 5% of the Company's
total sales in either Fiscal 1997, Fiscal 1996 or Fiscal 1995.
The Company operates in six different markets:
- - Communications Market - The communications market is comprised of
applications for satellite communications ("SatCom") and broadcast sectors.
In this market, the Company's products generate, amplify and transmit
signals and data within an overall communication system. Sales in the
communications market were $122.5 million in Fiscal 1997 compared to $118.4
million in Fiscal 1996 and $110.5 million in Fiscal 1995(1).
(1) For Fiscal 1995, reported sales represent sales on a historical basis
of the combined Predecessor and Successor. As there were no sales to
Varian in these markets, pro forma sales comparisons do not differ from
historical sales comparisons.
-2-
<PAGE> 4
- - Radar Market - The radar market includes microwave and power grid vacuum
electronic devices, amplifiers and related equipment for air, ground and
shipboard radar systems. The Company's vacuum electronic devices have been
an integral component of radar systems for over four decades. Sales in the
radar market were $75.4 million in Fiscal 1997 compared to $74.6 million
for Fiscal 1996 and $76.9 million for Fiscal 1995(1).
- - Electronic Countermeasures Market - The electronic countermeasures market
utilizes microwave vacuum electronic devices for systems that provide
protection for ships, aircraft and high-value land targets against
radar-guided munitions. Sales in the electronic countermeasures market were
$11.8 million, $17.2 million, and $20.1 million in Fiscal 1997, Fiscal 1996
and Fiscal 1995(2), respectively.
- - Industrial Market - The industrial market includes applications for a wide
range of systems used for materials processing, instrumentation and voltage
generation. Sales in this market were $21.9 million in Fiscal 1997 and
$27.2 million in Fiscal 1996. In Fiscal 1995, sales were $22.6 million on a
pro forma basis(2) and $22.0 million on a historical combined basis.
- - Medical Market - The Company participates in the diagnostic and treatment
sectors of the medical market. In the diagnostic market, the Company
provides X-ray generators, including state-of-the-art, high-efficiency,
lightweight power supplies and modern digital-based consoles for diagnostic
equipment. In the treatment market, the Company provides microwave
generators (klystrons) for high-end cancer therapy machines. Sales in this
market were $17.6 million in Fiscal 1997 and $16.3 million in Fiscal 1996.
In Fiscal 1995, sales were $17.4 million on a pro forma basis(2) and $15.8
million on a historical basis.
- - Scientific Market - The scientific market consists primarily of equipment
utilized in reactor fusion programs and accelerators for high-energy
particle physics, referred to as "Big Science." Sales in the scientific
market were $4.2 million, $3.7 million and $5.7 million in Fiscal 1997,
Fiscal 1996 and Fiscal 1995(1), respectively.
SALES, MARKETING AND SERVICE
As of October 3, 1997, the Company had approximately 115 direct marketing and
sales professionals representing the largest direct sales, service and technical
support organization focused exclusively on high-power/high-frequency signal
generation, amplification and transmission. The Company's sales and service
organization is supplemented by outside representatives and a distributor which
service certain lower volume accounts. Each of the Company's sales professionals
is responsible for marketing the Company's entire product line. Company sales
professionals receive extensive technical training in all of the Company's
products, which allows them to provide customers with appropriate technical
support, including information on product application and implementation.
In addition to its direct sales force, the Company utilizes 32 external sales
organizations and one stocking distributor, Richardson Electronics, Ltd., to
service the needs of low volume customers. The majority of the third-party
organizations which the Company utilizes are located outside the U.S. and focus
primarily on customers in South America, South East Asia, the Far East, the
Middle East, Africa and Eastern Europe. Through the use of third-party sales
organizations, the Company has been better able to meet the needs of its foreign
customers by establishing a local presence in lower volume markets.
(1) For Fiscal 1995, reported sales represent sales on a historical basis
of the combined Predecessor and Successor. As there were no sales to
Varian in these markets, pro forma sales comparisons do not differ from
historical sales comparisons.
(2) For Fiscal 1995, pro forma sales reflect the additional markup agreed
to under the terms of the product supply agreements between CPI and
Varian.

<PAGE> 5
The Company also has a specialized network of eight factory service centers for
the SatCom replacement market. These service centers are located in California,
New Jersey, Amsterdam, Moscow, Tokyo, Singapore, Nanjing and Jakarta.
MANUFACTURING
The Company manufactures over 6,600 products in its six manufacturing locations
in North America. The Company has implemented modern manufacturing methodologies
based upon "continuous improvement," including JIT materials handling, Demand
Flow Technology, Statistical Process Control and Value Managed Relationships
with suppliers and customers. The Company has achieved the ISO-9000
international certification standard utilized in the European Community.
The Company's manufacturing process for power supplies, amplifiers and
transmitters consists of purchasing, high level assembly, and test. The Company
utilizes contract manufacturers whenever possible for subassembly. In the
manufacture of vacuum electronic devices, multiple steps are required. The
process starts with procurement of raw material and sub-assemblies from
qualified suppliers, who often deliver on a JIT basis. Raw materials are then
formed, primarily by machining, cleaning and plating certain parts. These steps
utilize statistical process control techniques to assure quality and high
production yields. Subassembly is then performed to produce a vacuum envelope,
the essential part of a vacuum electronic device. This subassembly process is
performed utilizing Demand Flow Technology, which helps to minimize inventory.
Vacuum assemblies are processed by pumping the atmosphere from the assemblies
while heating the assemblies in a furnace and simultaneously charging them with
an electrical current. When this step is complete, final assembly and testing is
performed on each product before shipment. The Company has developed
sophisticated test programs to assure that each product meets operating
specifications.
Certain materials necessary for the manufacture of the Company's products, such
as molybdenum, OFHC copper, and some cathodes, are obtained from sole, or a
limited group of, suppliers. In addition, prices of these raw materials and key
components are subject to fluctuation.
COMPETITION
The industries and markets in which the Company operates are highly competitive.
The Company encounters intense competition in most of its business areas from
numerous other companies (such as Litton Industries, Inc., English Electric
Valve Company (General Electric Company plc), NEC Corporation and Thomson CSF),
some of which have resources substantially greater than those of the Company.
Some of these competitors are also customers of the Company. The Company's
ability to compete in its markets depends to a large extent on its ability to
provide high quality products with shorter lead times at a lower price than its
competitors, and its readiness in facilities, equipment and personnel.
The Company must also continually engage in effective research and development
efforts in order to introduce innovative new products for technologically
sophisticated customers and markets. There is an inherent risk that advances in
existing technology, including solid state technology, or the development of new
technology could adversely affect the Company's financial condition and results
of operations. Although solid state devices generally serve end-users' low-power
requirements more cost effectively and efficiently than microwave vacuum
electronic devices, only microwave vacuum electronic devices currently serve
high-power/high-frequency demands. The laws of physics limit the ability of
solid state technology to efficiently or cost effectively serve the
high-power/high-frequency applications of the Company's customers. These
applications' extreme operating parameters necessitate heat dissipation
capabilities which are satisfied by the Company's products. The Company's
management believes that each technology serves its own niche without
significant overlap.

BACKLOG
As of October 3, 1997, the Company had an order backlog of $169.0 million,
representing over seven months of sales compared to order backlog of $153.4
million as of September 27, 1996 and $138.9 million as of September 29, 1995.
Although the backlog consists of firm orders for which goods and services are
yet to be provided, these orders can be and sometimes are modified or
terminated. However, the amount of modifications and terminations has
historically not been material compared to total contract volume.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Company owns a number of United States and foreign patents having various
expiration dates (collectively, the "Patents"). The Patents are directed to
various aspects of the technologies used by the Company in many of its
operations. In addition to the Patents, the Company has certain trade secrets,
know-how, trademarks and copyrights related to its technology and products. The
Company also has acquired certain intellectual property rights and incurred
certain obligations through license and research and development agreements with
third parties. These agreements may include royalty bearing licenses, technology
cross licenses and manufacturing supply agreements. Management does not believe
that any single patent or license is material to the success of the Company as a
whole. As a result of contracts with the U.S. Government which contain patent
and/or data rights clauses, the U.S. Government also has acquired royalty-free
licenses or other rights in inventions and technology resulting from certain
work done by the Company on behalf of the U.S. Government. The Company also has
certain software license agreements with vendors and suppliers which affect the
Company's intellectual property rights. The Company generally enters into
confidentiality agreements with its employees, consultants and vendors, and
generally limits access to and distribution of its proprietary information. The
Company maintains an intellectual property protection program designed to
preserve the intellectual property assets for the Company's future products.
This program includes the filing of new domestic and foreign patent
applications, copyright and trademark applications and the pursuit of
enforcement of its intellectual property rights. Nevertheless, there can be no
assurance that the steps taken by the Company will prevent misappropriation or
loss of its technology.
As part of the Acquisition, six United States patents and one United States
patent application, and their foreign counterparts, are jointly owned by the
Company and Varian along with related trade secrets and know-how, including
drawings, manufacturing and testing processes and designs (the "Key Component
Technology"). The Key Component Technology relates to the manufacture and
testing of certain key electron beam guns and key medical klystrons, and any
improvements thereto. Upon the consummation of the Acquisition, the Company and
Varian entered into a Cross License Agreement to allocate the rights to the Key
Component Technology between the Company and Varian.
In addition, in connection with the consummation of the Acquisition, the Company
and Varian entered into a Trademark License Agreement to permit the Company to
continue to market, advertise, distribute and sell its products using Varian's
trademarks on its products for a period of three years and may identify its
products as "formerly made by Varian" for a period of ten years.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Company-sponsored research and development expense was approximately $7.7
million, $8.3 million, $1.2 million and $7.4 million during Fiscal 1997, Fiscal
1996, the 7-week period ending September 29, 1995 and the 45-week period ending
August 11, 1995, respectively. Customer-sponsored research and development was
approximately $5.9 million, $7.3 million, $1.4 million and $8.8 million during
Fiscal 1997, Fiscal 1996, the 7-week period ending September 29, 1995 and the
45-week period ending August 11, 1995, respectively. For customer-sponsored
research and development, the costs were charged to cost of sales to match
revenue received.
EMPLOYEES
As of October 3, 1997, the Company had approximately 1,658 employees compared to
1,763 employees as of September 27, 1996. This 6.0% reduction in headcount was
primarily due to the consolidation of the Company's Salt Lake City, Utah product
lines into its San Carlos, California facility that was completed in December
1996. None of the Company's employees is subject to a collective bargaining
agreement although a limited number of the Company's sales force members located
in Europe are members of work councils or unions. The Company has not
experienced any work stoppages and believes that it has good relations with its
employees.
Because of the specialized and technical nature of the Company's business, the
Company is highly dependent on the continued service of, and on its ability to
attract and retain, qualified technical, marketing, sales and managerial
personnel. The competition for such personnel is intense, and the failure to
retain and/or recruit additional or substitute key personnel in a timely manner,
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and operating
results.
U.S. GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS AND REGULATIONS
Management expects that a decreasing but significant portion of the Company's
sales will continue in the foreseeable future to result from contracts with the
U.S. Government, either directly or through prime contractors or subcontractors.
The Company's business with the U.S. Government is performed under fixed-price
and, to a lesser degree, cost-plus contracts. Fixed-price contracts accounted
for approximately 92% of the Company's U.S. Government sales in Fiscal 1997 and
cost-plus contracts accounted for approximately 8%. This ratio is consistent
with Fiscal 1996 but more weighted toward fixed-price contracts than in Fiscal
1995 when the ratio was approximately 88% fixed-price and 12% cost-plus.
Under fixed-price contracts, the Company agrees to perform certain work for a
fixed price and, accordingly, realizes all the benefit or detriment from
decreases or increases in the costs of performing the contract. In addition,
under U.S. Government regulations, certain costs, including certain financing
costs, portions of research and development costs, and certain expenses related
to the preparation of competitive bids and proposals and international sales are
not reimbursable. The U.S. Government also regulates the methods under which
costs are allocated to U.S. Government contracts.
U.S. Government contracts are, by their terms, subject to termination by the
U.S. Government either for its convenience or default by the contractor.
Cost-plus contracts provide that, upon termination, the contractor is generally
entitled to reimbursement of its incurred costs and, if the termination is
-6-
<PAGE> 8
for convenience, a fee proportionate to the percentage of the work completed
under the contract is permitted. If the termination is for default, a contractor
may also receive a fee proportionate to any items delivered to and accepted by
the U.S. Government. Fixed-price contracts provide for payment upon termination
for items delivered to and accepted by the U.S. Government, and, if the
termination is for convenience, for reimbursement of its other incurred costs
and a reasonable profit on incurred costs. If a contract termination is for
default, however, (i) the contractor is paid an amount agreed upon for completed
and partially completed products and services accepted by the U.S. Government,
(ii) the U.S. Government is not liable for the contractor's incurred costs with
respect to unaccepted items, and is entitled to repayment of advance payments
and progress payments, if any, related to the terminated portions of the
contracts and (iii) the contractor may be liable for excess costs incurred by
the U.S. Government in procuring undelivered items from another source.
In addition to the right of the U.S. Government to terminate, U.S. Government
contracts are conditioned upon the availability of Congressional appropriations.
Congress usually appropriates funds for a given program on a fiscal year basis
even though contract performance may take many years. Consequently, at the
outset of a major program, multi-year contracts are usually funded for only the
first year (including any termination penalty), and additional monies are
normally committed to the contract by the procuring agency only as
appropriations are made by Congress for future fiscal years.
The Company's contracts with foreign governmental defense agencies are subject
to certain similar limitations and risks as those encountered with U.S.
Government contracts. Licenses are required from U.S. Government agencies to
export many of the Company's products. Certain of the Company's products are not
permitted to be exported.
Holding and Varian entered into a novation agreement with the U.S. Government,
as required by federal procurement regulations, applicable to all contracts
between or relating to the Predecessor and the U.S. Government (the "Acquired
Government Contracts") which were acquired by the Company in connection with the
Acquisition. This novation agreement provides, among other things, that the
Company assumes all obligations under the Acquired Government Contracts and that
the U.S. Government recognizes the transfer to the Company of the Acquired
Government Contracts and related assets.
Due to its business with the U.S. Government, the Company may also be subject to
"qui tam" (whistle blower) suits brought by private plaintiffs in the name of
the U.S. Government upon the allegation that the Company submitted a false claim
to the U.S. Government, as well as to false claim suits brought by the U.S.
Government. A judgment against the Company in a qui tam or false claim suit
could cause the Company to be liable for substantial damages and could carry
penalties of suspension or debarment which would make the Company ineligible to
be awarded any U.S. Government contracts for a period of up to three years and,
thereby, could potentially have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition and results of operations.
Similar to other companies which derive a substantial portion of their sales
from contracts with the U.S. Government for defense-related products, the
Company is subject to business risks, including changes in governmental
appropriations, national defense policies or regulations and availability of
funds. Any of these factors could adversely affect the Company's business with
the U.S. Government in the future.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company is subject to a wide variety of federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulations which are subject to change and utilizes in
its operations a number of chemicals which are classified as hazardous or
similar substances. It is difficult to predict what impact these environmental
laws and regulations may have on the Company in the future. Restrictions on
chemical uses or certain manufacturing processes could restrict the ability of
the Company to operate in the manner in which the Company is currently operated
or is permitted to be operated. Although Varian is currently involved in a
substantial long-term remediation program relating to the past operations of the
Predecessor, management believes that the Company's current operations are in
substantial compliance with current
-7-
<PAGE> 9
environmental laws and regulations. Nevertheless, it is possible that the
Company may experience releases of certain chemicals to environmental media,
either from its own operations or properties or from third-party operations or
properties (such as off-site landfills), which could constitute violations of
environmental law (and have an impact on its operations) or which could cause
the incurrence of material cleanup costs or other damages. For these reasons,
the Company is involved from time to time in legal proceedings involving
compliance with environmental requirements applicable to its ongoing operations,
and may be involved in legal proceedings involving exposure to chemicals or the
remediation of environmental contamination from past or present operations.
Because certain environmental laws impose joint, several, strict and retroactive
liability upon current owners or operators of facilities from which there have
been releases of hazardous substances, the Company could be held liable for
remedial measures or other damages (such as liability for personal injury
actions) at properties it owns or utilizes in its operations, even if the
contamination was not caused by the Company's operations.
Varian has agreed to indemnify the Company, to the extent permissible by law,
for environmental claims arising from the Predecessor's operations prior to the
consummation of the Acquisition, subject to certain exceptions and limitations.
See "Business - Relationship with Varian - Acquisition Agreement." With certain
limited exceptions, the Company is not indemnified by Varian for environmental
claims arising from the Company's operations after the consummation of the
Acquisition. There can be no assurance that material costs or liabilities will
not be incurred by the Company in connection with proceedings or claims related
to environmental conditions arising from the Company's operations. In addition,
although Varian will retain financial and other responsibility for certain
environmental liabilities of the Predecessor, including those for which, under
law, the Company would otherwise be responsible, there can be no assurance that
Varian will reimburse the Company for any particular environmental costs or do
so in a timely manner. Although the Company believes that Varian currently has
sufficient financial resources to satisfy its environmental indemnification
obligations to the Company, because of the long-term nature of many of Varian's
remediation obligations, there can be no assurance that Varian will continue to
have the financial resources to comply fully with its indemnification
obligations to the Company. Unreimbursed liabilities arising from environmental
claims, if significant, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
results of operations and financial condition.
The Company is aware that Varian is engaged in certain ongoing environmental
investigatory and remedial work, which is in various stages of completion.
Varian has indemnified the Company, to the extent permissible by law, for
environmental claims arising from the operation of the Predecessor prior to the
consummation of the Acquisition, subject to certain exceptions and limitations.
Based on information currently available to the Company, the following provides
a summary of the investigatory and remedial work being undertaken at the various
properties owned or utilized by the Predecessor with respect to its operations.
PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA. As a result of actual and threatened claims brought by
other property owners and the State of California with regard to contamination
present under and emanating from the Company's facilities located at the Palo
Alto, California property (which facilities are leased by way of assignment and
subleased by the Company and which serves as the Company's headquarters and one
of its principal manufacturing complexes containing two manufacturing
facilities), Varian has entered into a consent order (the "Palo Alto Consent
Order") with the California Environmental Protection Agency. In accordance with
the Palo Alto Consent Order, Varian has submitted, and the regulatory agencies
have approved, a Remedial Action Plan to investigate and remediate groundwater
and soil vapor contamination at the affected property to acceptable levels.
Varian has entered into an agreement with the master lessor of the property
pursuant to which it is obligated to comply with the remediation
-8-
<PAGE> 10
obligations under the Palo Alto Consent Order. As a sublessee or assignee of the
property, the Company's right to continued occupancy of these premises will be
dependent upon Varian's fulfillment of its responsibilities to the master
lessor, including its obligation to comply with the Palo Alto Consent Order.
The Palo Alto, California facilities are also known to be within areas of
regional groundwater contamination, which contamination is being addressed by
federal and state environmental regulatory agencies. The Palo Alto, California
property is adjacent to the Hewlett-Packard 640 Page Mill Road National
Priorities List Site (the "HP Site") listed pursuant to the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended
("CERCLA"). As a result of allegations that contamination resulting from
Varian's historical operations, including its operations of the Predecessor, has
migrated from that property to the HP Site and elsewhere, the Company is aware
that Varian, as well as Hewlett-Packard and Stanford University, has been named
in an order issued by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control
Board, and that Varian, together with Hewlett-Packard, is remediating a portion
of the HP Site known as the California-Olive-Emerson Operable Unit, principally
through the use of a groundwater treatment system, in response to that order.
The Palo Alto, California property is also adjacent to the Hillview-Porter State
Study Area ("Hillview-Porter Site") identified by the California Environmental
Protection Agency. Varian has not been named as a potentially responsible party
in connection with the Hillview-Porter Site, although the Company is aware that
allegations have been made that this property has impacted, and been impacted
by, the Hillview-Porter Site.
Although liability under environmental laws such as CERCLA is strict, there
often are a number of parties responsible for regional contamination, and such
parties often will allocate the remedial action costs among themselves, taking
into consideration equitable and other factors. Several potentially responsible
parties, including Hewlett-Packard and Varian, have been identified by the
United States Environmental Protection Agency with respect to the HP Site, and
several potentially responsible parties, currently not including Varian, have
been identified by the California Environmental Protection Agency with respect
to the Hillview-Porter Site.
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. Prior to the acquisition and use by Varian of the Salt
Lake City, Utah property, such property was used for other industrial purposes,
including the manufacturing of munitions. As a result of actual and threatened
claims brought by other property owners and the State of Utah with regard to
groundwater contamination present under and emanating from the Salt Lake City
facility, Varian has entered into a consent order (the "Salt Lake City Consent
Order") with the State of Utah. Pursuant to the terms of the Salt Lake City
Consent Order, Varian has installed a groundwater remediation system to address
the groundwater and soil contamination conditions. Up until December 1996, the
Company leased approximately 44,000 square feet of space at this facility but
has since relocated its product lines to San Carlos, California.
OTHER FACILITIES. The Company's other main manufacturing facilities, which are
located in San Carlos and Santa Clara, California, Beverly, Massachusetts, and
Georgetown, Ontario, Canada, all have soil and groundwater contamination which
either may or does require remediation. Pursuant to legal requirements, Varian
has installed a groundwater remediation system which is presently in operation
at the Beverly property. In addition, the Company is aware that an action has
been commenced against Varian by adjoining property owners and others, and that
other claims may be made, with respect to off-site contamination allegedly
emanating from the Beverly, Massachusetts facility.

THE ACQUISITION
Prior to August 11, 1995, the Company's operations were part of the Electron
Devices Business division of Varian. On August 11, 1995, CPII Acquisition Corp.
("CPII Acquisition") acquired (in the matter described below) substantially all
of the assets that were used primarily in developing, manufacturing and
distributing microwave and power grid vacuum electronic devices, microwave
amplifiers, modulators and various other power supply equipment and devices
through the Predecessor. Pursuant to the terms of a Stock Sale Agreement dated
June 9, 1995, as amended, among Holding, CPII Acquisition and Varian (the
"Acquisition Agreement"), prior to the consummation of the Acquisition, Varian
and its affiliates contributed the assets of the Predecessor that were located
in the United States to CPI, which was a newly-formed, wholly-owned Varian
subsidiary. Subsequently, upon the consummation of the Acquisition, Varian
transferred all of the outstanding capital stock of CPI to CPII Acquisition. The
assets of the Predecessor that were located in foreign jurisdictions were
transferred from Varian or its affiliates to newly-formed direct or indirect
subsidiaries of CPI. In consideration of the transfer of such capital stock and
assets, CPII Acquisition (including its affiliates) paid Varian (including its
affiliates) an aggregate purchase price of $196.2 million, subject to a
post-closing adjustment (the "Purchase Price"). Holding, CPII Acquisition and
CPI's subsidiaries also assumed certain specified liabilities of the
Predecessor. The liabilities assumed by Holding (with respect to which CPI has
agreed to perform any necessary services) included certain balance sheet
liabilities of the Predecessor, which aggregated approximately $24.1 million as
of August 11, 1995, and certain contingent liabilities (such as for certain
product warranty claims) (the "Assumed Liabilities"). Upon the merger of CPII
Acquisition with and into CPI immediately following the consummation of the
Acquisition, CPI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holding.
In connection with the consummation of the Acquisition, the Company also entered
into the following transactions:
(1) Two senior term loans of CPI in the aggregate amount of $42.0 million
and a revolving credit facility in a principal amount of up to $35.0
million (including a $5.0 million sub-facility for letters of credit,
and subsequently increased to $7.5 million) pursuant to a senior
credit agreement (as subsequently amended, the "Senior Credit
Agreement"), of which approximately $23.0 million was drawn in
connection with the consummation of the Acquisition,
(2) Issuance of 12% Series A Senior Subordinated Notes due 2005 (the
"Series A Senior Subordinated Notes") of CPI in the aggregate
principal amount of $100.0 million (guaranteed by Holding and all of
the Company's direct and indirect subsidiaries),
(3) Issuance of units (the "Units") consisting of 150,000 shares of
Series A 14% Senior Redeemable Exchangeable Cumulative Preferred
Stock due 2007 (the "Series A Senior Preferred Stock") of CPI and
10,500 shares of common stock of Holding ("Holding Common Stock") for
$15.0 million,
(4) Issuance of 100,000 shares of 14% Junior Cumulative Preferred Stock
(the "Junior Preferred Stock") of CPI to Green Equity Investors II,
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("GEI II") for $10.0 million,
and
(5) Issuance of shares of Holding Common Stock to GEI II and certain
members of the senior management of CPI for $20.0 million
(including $0.8 million paid by notes from members of senior
management).
CPI subsequently exchanged the Series A Senior Subordinated Notes and Series A
Senior Preferred Stock, in exchange offers (the "Exchange Offers") registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, for
-10-
<PAGE> 12
otherwise identical 12% Series B Senior Subordinated Notes due 2005 (the
"Notes") and Series B 14% Senior Redeemable Exchangeable Cumulative Preferred
Stock due 2007 (the "Senior Preferred Stock"), respectively.
GEI II initiated the Acquisition and currently owns approximately 72.0% of the
outstanding shares of Holding Common Stock. Holding, in turn, owns all of the
outstanding common stock of CPI. Accordingly, GEI II is able to elect all of the
members of the board of directors of Holding and thus to exercise control over
Holding's and CPI's business and affairs. Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership, is an investment advisor to, and an affiliate of
the general partner of, GEI II. See "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial
Owners and Management" and "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."
RELATIONSHIP WITH VARIAN
The Company continues to maintain certain relationships with Varian arising from
the Predecessors' previous relationship with Varian and arising under the
Acquisition Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (as defined below). The
descriptions of certain of such relationships set forth below are qualified in
their entirety by reference to the full texts of documents relating thereto,
copies of which are included as exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Acquisition Agreement. The Acquisition Agreement contains customary
representations, warranties and covenants. The Company and Varian agreed to
indemnify one another for breaches of representations and warranties contained
in the Acquisition Agreement or the ancillary agreements executed in connection
therewith (the "Ancillary Agreements"), provided claims with respect thereto are
asserted on or before December 31, 1996. With respect to such breaches of
representations and warranties, no claims were asserted by either party.
In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, Varian agreed
to indemnify and reimburse the Company for all losses arising from breaches of
covenants and agreements of Varian in the Acquisition Agreement and the
Ancillary Agreements, all Retained Liabilities (as defined in the Acquisition
Agreement), environmental claims arising from the pre-closing operation of the
Predecessor (as more fully described below), certain matters pertaining to
Varian's interest in its Palo Alto, California and Santa Clara, California
facilities, and certain other matters as specified in the Acquisition Agreement.
In turn, the Company agreed to indemnify and reimburse Varian for all losses
arising from breaches of covenants and agreements of the Company in the
Acquisition Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, all Assumed Liabilities,
environmental claims arising from the post-closing operation of the Predecessor
(as more fully described below), and certain other matters as specified in the
Acquisition Agreement. As to such indemnification obligations of Varian and the
Company, there are no time or dollar limitations. The indemnification provisions
in the Acquisition Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements are generally intended
to be the exclusive remedies of the parties with respect to such agreements,
subject to certain exceptions.
The environmental indemnification provisions of the Acquisition Agreement
provide generally that environmental liabilities of the Predecessor are retained
by Varian to the extent they arise from the pre-closing operation of the
Predecessor and are the obligations of the Company to the extent they arise from
the post-closing operation of the Predecessor, subject to certain exceptions.
Specifically, pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, Varian agreed to indemnify
the Company for liabilities related to environmental claims arising from the
following: (i) Varian's possession or use of the acquired properties before the
closing, (ii) violations (or purported violations) of environmental laws
resulting from pre-closing conditions or activities at the acquired properties,
(iii) hazardous materials present at the acquired properties as of the closing,
(iv) disposal (other than by the Company or its agents) of hazardous materials
generated by Varian before the closing, and (v) post-closing releases of
hazardous materials by
-11-
<PAGE> 13
Varian resulting from the ongoing operation of Varian's business. In addition to
the foregoing and notwithstanding any other provision of the Acquisition
Agreement, Varian agreed to indemnify the Company against third party claims
arising out of, and to repair, subject to certain conditions, pre-closing
environmental conditions that constitute violations of environmental laws, plus
contamination arising from such conditions both before and after the closing, to
the extent the Company discovers such conditions within the six months following
the closing. The Acquisition Agreement provides that Varian will have exclusive
control of and sole discretion as to the investigation and remediation of
matters for which it is required to indemnify the Company. Varian is required to
undertake such actions in compliance with all applicable laws, and without
unreasonably interfering with the conduct of the Company.
In turn, the Company agreed to indemnify Varian for liabilities related to
environmental claims arising from the following: (i) the Company's possession or
use of the acquired properties after the closing, (ii) violations (or purported
violations) of environmental laws resulting from post-closing conditions or
activities at the acquired properties (subject to the Company's rights with
respect to conditions and related contamination discovered within the first six
months following the closing, as described above), (iii) any incremental costs
incurred by Varian as a result of the Company's introduction of hazardous
materials at the acquired properties after the closing, (iv) disposal of
hazardous materials by the Company or its agents after the closing, and (v) the
post-closing migration of hazardous materials that were present before the
closing or the post-closing exacerbation of environmental conditions existing
before the closing, but in each case only to the extent resulting from the
Company's active negligent conduct. In the event of post-closing releases, the
Company is required to respond to and remediate certain types of such releases
at its expense. However, in the event of post-closing releases which contribute
to existing groundwater contamination which is otherwise being remediated by
Varian, Varian agreed to treat such contaminated groundwater, to the extent
required and if it is feasible to do so, using its own treatment systems. The
Company will be required to reimburse Varian for Varian's incremental costs
related thereto.
With respect to Varian's duty to repair certain items identified by the Company
within six months following the closing, the Company reached an agreement and
settlement with Varian, effective October 1996, on such items identified. The
Company has, in turn, provided Varian with a release from its obligation to
handle the actual repair and a release from any fines and/or penalties which may
result from the Company's failure to complete the identified repairs.
Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, Varian's environmental indemnification
obligations do not extend to the following: (i) liabilities for certain building
materials, such as asbestos, and hazardous materials that are lawfully present,
used or stored at the acquired properties as of the closing (other than
liabilities for personal injuries related thereto), (ii) claims asserted by the
Company or its successors for diminution in property value or consequential
damages caused by the presence of hazardous materials at the acquired
properties, or (iii) environmental response actions other than those required by
the Acquisition Agreement, governmental order or self-executing environmental
laws.
If a dispute arises as to whether and the extent to which a release of hazardous
materials occurred before or after the closing, Varian has agreed to bear the
burden of proof as to such matter by a preponderance of the evidence. In the
event that both Varian and the Company are partly responsible for a particular
environmental liability, such liability will be allocated between the parties in
accordance with their respective contributions to such liability.
If there is a dispute concerning the indemnification of only a portion of a
claim, the indemnitor is required to immediately assume full responsibility for
the undisputed portion of the claim. Any dispute between Varian and the Company
will be settled by arbitration. The arbitrator is authorized to allocate fees
and costs based upon the respective merits of the parties' respective positions
in the dispute.
-12-
<PAGE> 14
Transitional Services Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Transitional
Services Agreement (the "Transitional Services Agreement") between Varian and
the Company, Varian provided certain services to the Company in order to
facilitate the transition of the Company to a stand-alone operation. Such
services included, among other things, general financial services, certain
management information services, payroll processing, and monitoring of security
systems and fire alarms. In addition, in connection with the separation and
creation of independent utilities and systems at the Company's facilities, the
Transitional Services Agreement required Varian to pay or reimburse the Company
(in some cases), subject to certain limitation. As of October 3, 1997, all
obligations under this agreement were fulfilled. The Company continues to
interact with Varian on management information issues regarding legacy systems
written by Varian, but it is no longer dependent on Varian for support and any
on-going arrangements have been negotiated at an arm's-length basis.
Key Component Agreement. Pursuant to the Key Components Supply Agreement (the
"Key Component Agreement") between the Company and Varian, during the term
thereof, the Company is required to meet Varian's requirements for certain key
electron beam guns and key medical klystrons and any improvements thereto (the
"Key Components"), provided that the Company may discontinue production of any
Key Component as to which Varian fails to maintain certain specified purchase
levels. In addition, the Company is prohibited from selling any Key Component
that Varian continues to purchase from the Company to any third person for use
within the Varian Field of Use (as defined below). In turn, during the term of
the Key Component Agreement, Varian is required to purchase all of its
requirements for Key Components from the Company, except for certain specified
Key Components as to which Varian will be permitted to purchase a portion of its
requirements from other sources. The preceding provisions are effective as to
all Key Components for a period of five years following the closing of the
Acquisition and, at Varian's election with respect to any one or more of the Key
Components, for a period of five years thereafter.
Varian has the right to elect to purchase Key Components from sources other than
the Company and to enforce certain rights under the Cross License Agreement (as
defined below) in the event of failures in the quality, quantity or timely
delivery of Key Components produced by the Company or the obsolescence of the
Company's Key Components.
Cross License Agreement. Pursuant to the Cross License Agreement (the "Cross
License Agreement"), for a period of 10 years from the closing of the
Acquisition, Varian has exclusive rights relating to the Key Component
Technology as it relates to medical and industrial linear accelerators (the
"Varian Field of Use"). In all other areas, the Company retains the exclusive
right to utilize the Key Component Technology. At the end of the term of the
Cross License Agreement, Varian is obligated to transfer its entire interest in
the Key Component Technology to the Company, with Varian retaining only a
non-exclusive license to make, use or sell Key Component Technology for use in
the Varian Field of Use. The Company has the unrestricted and exclusive right to
utilize the Key Component Technology in fields other than the Varian Field of
Use and the right to utilize Key Component Technology in order to supply Key
Components to Varian for use within the Varian Field of Use pursuant to the Key
Component Agreement. See "- Key Component Agreement" The Cross License Agreement
also grants mutual non-exclusive licenses under Varian's and the Company's
intellectual property rights to the extent necessary to permit both the Company
and Varian to continue to conduct their respective businesses as they did as of
the closing date.
Trademark License Agreement. Generally, under the terms of the Trademark License
Agreement, the Company is licensed to use Varian trademarks on its products for
a period of three years from the closing of the Acquisition (although during the
third year Varian trademarks may only be used in connection with the Company's
own trademarks), provided that such products either were manufactured by the
Predecessor as of the date of consummation of the Acquisition or are derivatives
or improvements thereof. After the third year, the Company may not use any
Varian trademarks alone, but for an
-13-
<PAGE> 15
additional seven years may identify such products as "formerly made by Varian".
At the expiration of the ten year period, the Company will not be permitted to
utilize any Varian trademarks.
ITEM 2: PROPERTIES
The Company owns, leases or subleases manufacturing, assembly, warehouse,
service and office properties having an aggregate floor space of approximately
1,215,000 square feet, of which approximately 186,000 are leased or subleased to
third parties. The table below provides summary information regarding principal
properties owned or leased by the Company:
<TABLE>

Santa Clara, California............... - 107,000(c)
Palo Alto, California................. - 429,000(d)
Various locations..................... - 19,100(e)
</TABLE>
(a) The San Carlos, California square footage includes
approximately 21,000 square feet leased to a tenant which
provides services to the Company and others.
(b) The Beverly, Massachusetts property was reduced from 251,000
square feet in Fiscal 1996 to 213,000 square feet in Fiscal
1997 based on the sale of one of its three buildings to an
existing tenant. The current square footage still includes
approximately 42,000 square feet leased to four tenants.
(c) This facility is leased by way of assignment of Varian's
lessee interest. Effective February 1997, in conjunction with
the relocation of its manufacturing facility to Palo Alto,
California, the entire Santa Clara, California facility is
being subleased to one tenant.
(d) This facility is primarily leased by way of assignment of
Varian's lessee interest with the remainder subleased from
Varian. The Palo Alto, California footage includes
approximately 10,000 square feet subleased back to Varian and
approximately 6,000 square feet subleased to another tenant.
(e) Includes both leased facilities occupied entirely by the
Company's field sales and service organizations and 4 foreign
shared use facilities which the Company is sharing for varying
periods of time with Varian pursuant to a shared use
agreement.
Based on consolidation efforts that were completed in the first half of Fiscal
1997, the Company has eliminated most of its excess space. Overall, the Company
believes its properties are adequate for the needs of the Company for the
foreseeable future and, in any event, for at least the next twelve months. The
Company's lenders under the Senior Credit Agreement have the right to a security
interest in all of the Company's interest in the real property that it owns and
leases, and have taken a security interest in the Company's real property
located in Beverly, Massachusetts and Georgetown, Ontario, Canada.
The Company's right to continued occupancy of the leased and subleased premises
is dependent upon Varian's compliance with its obligations to the master lessor.
In particular, the Company's headquarters and one principal complex, including
three of the Company's manufacturing facilities, located at the Palo Alto,
California site adjacent to Varian's world headquarters and primary
manufacturing facilities, are leased by way of assignment or subleased from
Varian. Therefore, the Company's occupancy rights are dependent on Varian's
fulfillment of its responsibilities to the master lessor, including its
obligation to continue environmental remediation activities under a consent
order with the California Environmental Protection Agency. The consequences of
the loss by the Company of such occupancy rights could include the loss of
valuable improvements and favorable lease terms, the incurrence of substantial
relocation expenses and the disruption of the Company's business operations.
-14-
<PAGE> 16
ITEM 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is involved from time to time in various legal proceedings and is
the subject of various cost accounting and other government pricing claims.
Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, Varian has agreed to indemnify the
Company against liabilities arising from litigation and governmental claims
pertaining to the operation of the Predecessor prior to the consummation of the
Acquisition. Accordingly, management believes that litigation and governmental
claims pending against Varian and relating to the operation of the Predecessor
prior to the Acquisition will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations. See "Business -
Environmental Matters."
ITEM 4: SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the fiscal
year ended October 3, 1997.
-15-
<PAGE> 17
PART II
ITEM 5: MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER
MATTERS.
CPI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holding. Neither CPI's nor Holding's common
stock is publicly traded. No cash dividends have been declared on the common
stock of the Company during the 53-week period ended October 3, 1997.
Restrictive covenants in the Senior Credit Agreement generally restrict the
declaration or payment of dividends on the Company's common stock. The Notes
also restrict the declaration and payment of dividends unless the Company
satisfies certain financial covenants, among other things.
ITEM 6: SELECTED HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA
The historical and pro forma financial data set forth below for Fiscal 1993
through Fiscal 1994 has been derived from the historical audited financial
statements of the Predecessor audited by Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., independent
public accountants. For Fiscal 1995 through Fiscal 1997, historical financial
data has been derived from the historical audited financial statements audited
by KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, independent public accountants, whose report appears
elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The information contained in this
table should be read in conjunction with the information set forth in
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" as well as the historical audited financial statements of Holding
and CPI (and the Predecessor) included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form
10-K. As a consequence of the Acquisition, effective August 11, 1995, each of
Holding and CPI is deemed for financial reporting purposes to have become a new
reporting entity ("Successor") on the following date and periods subsequent to
the August 11, 1995 date reflect the allocation of the costs of the Acquisition
to assets and liabilities based on estimates of fair values in accordance with
the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations of
Successor subsequent to August 11, 1995 are not fully comparable to the results
of the operations of the Company as constituted prior to such date. In
particular, operating results subsequent to August 11, 1995 reflect decreases in
operating expenses relating to corporate allocations, incremental depreciation
and amortization relating to the purchase method adjustments referred to above
and other interest charges relating to new indebtedness related to the
Acquisition. The Company has included the Fiscal 1995 pro forma information as
management believes it presents a more meaningful comparison to the post
acquisition financial information.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INCOME STATEMENTS
The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed income statements of Holding and
CPI have been prepared by the Company's management from historical income
statements included in this Form 10-K. The unaudited pro-forma consolidated
condensed income statement for Fiscal 1995 reflect adjustments as if the
Acquisition had occurred on September 30, 1994.
These unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the notes included herewith, the Predecessor's audited financial statements
and notes thereto for Fiscal 1995 and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations." included elsewhere in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K. These unaudited pro forma financial statements do
not purport to represent what Holding's or CPI's results of operations would
have been had the Acquisition and the financing therefor occurred on the date
specified, or to project Holding's or CPI's results of operations for any future
period or date. The pro forma adjustments described in the accompanying notes
are based upon certain assumptions that management of the Company believes are
reasonable in such circumstances. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
have been made that are necessary to present fairly the pro forma data.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INCOME STATEMENTS
The following pro forma financial statements were included by CPI in the
Registration Statement for the Exchange Offers filed in November, 1995, and were
based upon preliminary estimates of the fair values of the net assets acquired.
These pro forma statements have not been adjusted to reflect final values
because the effect of the finalization of the estimates does not materially
affect the amounts previously presented.

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Company serves the communications, radar, electronic countermeasures,
industrial, medical and scientific markets. In addition, the Company divides the
communications market into applications for ground-based satellite uplinks for
military and commercial uses ("SatCom") and broadcast sectors. Orders for Fiscal
1997 of $275.8 million were at their highest level since Fiscal 1990. Compared
to Fiscal 1996, orders increased by $8.5 million, or approximately 3.2%. Orders
related to products sold in the radar, scientific and medical markets increased
by $14.8 million, $2.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively, which represents
an increase from the prior year of 19.6%, 36.7% and 9.8%, respectively. These
increases were partially offset by decreases in orders for products sold in the
electronic countermeasures and industrial markets of $8.1 million, or 29.3%, and
$2.4 million, or 11.7%, respectively. Orders related to the communications
market remained consistent with prior year levels. Nevertheless, incoming order
levels fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis and a particular year's
order rate may not be indicative of future order levels. In addition, the
Company's sales are highly dependent upon manufacturing scheduling and
performance and, accordingly, it is not possible to accurately predict when
orders will be recognized as sales.
The Company's products have applications among both commercial and government
customers. The commercial sector represents all sales for which the U.S.
Government is not the end-user. However, the end-user markets identified above
are not categorized based upon whether they consist entirely of sales into
commercial or government sectors. Therefore, sales in any one of the Company's
markets may consist of sales to either commercial customers, the U.S.
Government, or both. The commercial sector contributed approximately $190.1
million, or 75% of the Company's total sales, compared to approximately $187.9
million, or 73%, in Fiscal 1996. U.S. Government sales contributed approximately
$63.3 million, or 25% of the Company's total sales, compared to approximately
$69.5 million, or 27%, in Fiscal 1996. These trends are consistent with the
Company's focus on commercial applications of its products and their long-term
growth strategies.
Sales for Fiscal 1997 of $253.4 million were approximately 1.6% below the prior
year level of $257.4 million due primarily to the divestiture of a single
product line which accounted for approximately $2.6 million of the difference
and in part to disruptions experienced during the fiscal year from consolidation
efforts. These were both, however, one-time events that were completed in Fiscal
1997 and are not expected to reoccur. While the Company's total sales have been
relatively stable during the last five fiscal years, sales growth has taken
place in the communications, industrial and medical markets that have offset
declines in the radar, electronic countermeasures and scientific markets. The
Company's sales to the radar market, in particular, declined by $19.3 million,
from $94.9 million in Fiscal 1993 to $75.4 million in Fiscal 1997, due primarily
to the U.S. Department of Defense's ("DoD") reduction in procurement of spare
vacuum electronic devices for U.S. Government inventories. Fiscal 1997 sales to
the radar market did, however, show an increase from the prior year, from $74.5
million in Fiscal 1996 to $75.4 million in Fiscal 1997, which is the first
upward trend seen since the late 1980's. Strong order receipts in this market
during Fiscal 1997, as mentioned above, primarily due to larger market share
gains on military programs indicates that this sales trend is likely to
continue.
Fiscal 1997 reflects the Company's second full fiscal year on a stand-alone
basis. In 1997, the Company did achieve a number of its long-term goals
including the introduction of several new products to the communications and
medical markets and, most significantly, the completion of the Company's
consolidation efforts. The relocation of the Company's Salt Lake City, Utah
plant to San Carlos, California was started during Fiscal 1996 but was not
completed until the first half of Fiscal 1997. Costs
-21-
<PAGE> 23
associated with this move including travel and training expenses, temporary
duplication of labor and facility resources, and poor manufacturing yields on
the moved product lines negatively impacted EBITDA by approximately $2.4 million
in Fiscal 1996 and another $2.0 million in Fiscal 1997 but, again, this
relocation was a one-time event that was completed in Fiscal 1997. Also in the
first quarter of Fiscal 1997, the Company relocated one of its manufacturing
plants from a leased facility in Santa Clara, California to its owned facility
in Palo Alto, California. Although less disruptive than the Salt Lake City plant
relocation, delays in shipping products during the first half of the fiscal year
did occur making overall ramp-up to meet customer delivery schedules difficult.
EFFECT OF ACQUISITION ON RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The consummation of the Acquisition has affected the Company's results of
operations in certain significant respects. As a result of the Acquisition, the
Company adjusted upwards the historical book value of certain assets in
accordance with GAAP relating to purchase accounting rules, which will
significantly impact the Company's results of operations subsequent to the
Acquisition and their comparability to operations of the Predecessor:
- - The write-up of the inventory by $4.1 million was expensed to cost of
goods sold during the periods following the Acquisition, which
significantly affects gross margins. During the seven week period ended
September 29, 1995, $2.4 million was expensed to cost of sales, which
also impacted working capital, and $1.7 million was expensed in the
first quarter of Fiscal 1996.
- - The purchase accounting allocation of certain assets, such as
property, plant and equipment, will significantly affect depreciation
and amortization in the future. The portion of the purchase price
allocated to in-process research and development was charged to
operations immediately after consummation of the Acquisition. The
in-process research and development activity of the Company involves
the development of various classes of microwave vacuum electronic
devices and microwave vacuum electronic device systems for
communications and power applications, including significant extensions
and improvements to existing products through fundamental physical and
electrical research necessary to design new microwave vacuum electronic
devices, control and power elements, and related systems. Projects are
classified as in-process research and development if they have not
demonstrated technological feasibility and have not resulted in
commercial products and have no alternative future use. As of the date
of the consummation of the Acquisition, the outcomes of these research
and development projects were uncertain and involved technological
risk.
- - Certain corporate overhead and corporate services, including an
allocation for occupied facilities, historically charged to the
Predecessor by Varian, have been reduced due to outsourcing of certain
services, elimination of services no longer required on a stand-alone
basis, or eliminated due to the Company's ownership of certain of its
facilities and the application of purchase accounting following the
Acquisition. In addition, management compensation plans have been
modified at a reduced cost. The structure of the transaction has also
created certain tax benefits because of the Company's ability to
write-up inventory, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
for tax purposes.

Fiscal 1997 Compared to Fiscal 1996
SALES. Sales for Fiscal 1997 were approximately $253.4 million, a decrease of
approximately $4.0 million, or 1.6%, as compared to sales of $257.4 million in
Fiscal 1996. This decline was due in part to the divestiture of a single product
line accounting for $2.6 million in sales which was done in conjunction with the
Company's relocation of two other product lines from Salt Lake City, Utah to San
Carlos, California. Also, even though shippable orders were on hand that would
have allowed the Company to exceed its prior fiscal year sales, the Company was
unable to fully ramp-up the production of relocated product lines and the
production of new products for the Satcom market to meet its scheduled delivery
dates. In terms of markets, communications sales were $122.5 million in Fiscal
1997 which represents an increase of approximately $4.1 million, or 3.4%, from
Fiscal 1996 primarily as a result of new product releases. Radar sales increased
approximately $.9 million, or 1.2%, to $75.4 million in Fiscal 1997 as a result
of a 19.6% increase in order receipts (most of which are shippable in Fiscal
1998). Medical sales increased by approximately $1.3 million, or 8.2%, to $17.6
million due to increased demand from Varian. Scientific sales were $4.2 million
which represents an increase of approximately $.5 million, or 12.9%, from the
prior fiscal year due to new energy research as well as a specific development
project related to the Accelerator Production of Tritium. Offsetting the $6.8
million increase in these four markets were lower sales of products sold to the
industrial and electronic countermeasures markets. Industrial sales decreased by
$5.3 million, or 19.5%, to $21.9 million in Fiscal 1997 due to the timing of
customer defined delivery schedules combined with the slowdown in
-23-
<PAGE> 25
demand for high power amplifiers used for instrumentation and power supplies
used in semiconductor applications. Electronic countermeasures sales declined by
$5.5 million, or 31.8%, to $ 11.8 million as a result of completing several
military programs early in the fiscal year and was compounded by product
development delays in a new transmitter application.
COST OF SALES. Cost of sales in Fiscal 1997 of $183.7 million decreased by $.8
million from Fiscal 1996 primarily due to higher depreciation costs. Cost of
sales as a percentage of sales was 72.5% in Fiscal 1997 compared to 71.7% in
Fiscal 1996. The purchase accounting allocation of certain assets, specifically
property, plant and equipment that was revalued as of the date of the
Acquisition, has had a significant effect on depreciation which, as an element
of cost of sales, was approximately $1.7 million higher in Fiscal 1997 compared
to Fiscal 1996.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses decreased in Fiscal
1997 to $7.7 million, or 3.0% of total sales, as compared to $8.3 million, or
3.2% of total sales, during Fiscal 1996 as a higher proportion of engineering
resources were expensed to cost of sales in conjunction with the ramp-up of new
products.
MARKETING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Marketing, general and administrative
expenses were $32.3 million in Fiscal 1997, or 12.8% of sales, as compared to
$35.3 million, or 13.7% of sales, in Fiscal 1996. Marketing costs were
relatively consistent between the two periods but general and administrative
expenses decreased by $2.9 million in Fiscal 1997 primarily due to lower
management incentive accruals and the gain on the sale of certain assets.
EBITDA. EBITDA was $39.4 million for Fiscal 1997, an increase of $0.7 million,
or 2.5%, as compared to EBITDA, excluding the $1.7 million charge related to the
purchase accounting write-up of inventory, of $38.7 million for Fiscal 1996.
Both Fiscal 1997 and Fiscal 1996 were negatively impacted by the Company's
efforts to consolidate its Salt Lake City, Utah operation into its San Carlos,
California operation. In Fiscal 1997, costs associated with this consolidation,
including travel and training expenses, temporary duplication of labor and
facility resources, and poor manufacturing yields on the moved product lines,
negatively impacted EBITDA by approximately $2.0 million compared to $2.4
million in Fiscal 1996. However, due to the completion of these consolidation
efforts in the first half of Fiscal 1997, these costs are not expected to
continue. EBITDA was approximately 15.6% of sales in Fiscal 1997 compared to
approximately 15.0% in Fiscal 1996 which reflects the partial year improvements
from the completion of consolidation efforts.
NET EARNINGS. Net earnings before preferred dividends were $13.8 million for
Fiscal 1997, an increase of $5.4 million, as compared to $8.3 million for Fiscal
1996. In Fiscal 1997, the Company has fully recognized its deferred tax assets
and has eliminated the valuation allowance established in connection with the
Acquisition, recognizing a resultant $3.0 million tax benefit.
Fiscal 1996 Compared to Pro forma Fiscal 1995
SALES. Sales for Fiscal 1996 were approximately $257.4 million, an increase of
approximately $4.2 million, or 1.7%, as compared to pro forma sales of $253.2
million in Fiscal 1995 and an increase of approximately $6.4 million, or 2.5%,
as compared to historical sales of $251.1 million in Fiscal 1995. In terms of
markets, communications(1), and industrial(2) sales increased while CPI's four
other markets
(1) As there were no sales to Varian in these markets, pro forma sales
comparisons do not differ from the historical sales comparisons.
(2) There were sales to Varian in these markets. Pro forma Fiscal 1995 is
used in this comparison so that both years appropriately reflect the
markup agreed to under the terms of the product supply agreements
between CPI and Varian.
-24-
<PAGE> 26
showed some decline. Communications(1) sales increased approximately $7.9
million, or 7.1%, in Fiscal 1996 over pro forma Fiscal 1995, primarily as a
result of continued growth in Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) requirements as
well as growth in wireless communication product and small terminal applications
for private networks and emerging countries telephony requirements.
Industrial(2) sales rose approximately $4.6 million, or 20.4%, over pro forma
Fiscal 1995, primarily as a result of growth in the industrial microwave market
as well as an increase in demand for high power amplifiers used for
instrumentation. Offsetting these sales gains were a decline in electronic
countermeasures1 and medical2 sales of approximately $2.9 million, or 14.4%, and
$1.1 million, or 6.3%, respectively below pro forma Fiscal 1995, due primarily
to the timing of customer shipment schedules. Radar1 sales declined
approximately $2.3 million, or 3.0%, below pro forma Fiscal 1995, due to DoD
Acquisition Reform Initiatives reducing logistic inventory levels. Scientific1
sales declined approximately $2.0 million, or 35.1%, due to the slow down in
development programs from the U.S. Department of Energy.
COST OF SALES. Cost of sales, excluding a $1.7 million charge related to the
purchase accounting write-up of inventory, was $182.8 million in Fiscal 1996, an
increase of $2.7 million, as compared to pro forma cost of sales of $180.1
million for Fiscal 1995. Cost of sales, excluding the $1.7 million inventory
charge, was 71.0% of sales for Fiscal 1996 compared to the pro forma 71.1%
margin for Fiscal 1995. Cost of sales of the Predecessor on a historical basis
was 74.6% for the 45 weeks ended August 11, 1995. The Company's ongoing efforts
to reduce "cost of quality" (defined as the amount of scrap, rework,
manufacturing variance costs, warranty costs, inventory write-offs, quality
assistance and quality control costs and unscheduled downtime) were slowed in
Fiscal 1996 by the negative impact of efforts to consolidate its Salt Lake City,
Utah facility into its San Carlos, California facility.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses decreased in Fiscal
1996 to $8.3 million, or 3.2% of total sales, as compared to $8.6 million, or
3.4% of total pro forma sales, during Fiscal 1995. The decrease in research and
development expenses during Fiscal 1996 was primarily due to the Company's focus
on several customer-funded research and development projects. Overall, the
Company continues its emphasis on delivering new products to the marketplace.
MARKETING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Marketing, general and administrative
expenses were $35.4 million in Fiscal 1996, or 13.7% of sales, as compared to a
pro forma $33.4 million, or 13.2% of pro forma sales, for Fiscal 1995. Fiscal
1996 reflects the actual costs of CPI operating on a stand-alone basis. On a
historical basis, marketing, general and administrative expenses were 17.3% of
total sales for the 45 weeks ended August 11, 1995. The lower percentages in
Fiscal 1996 reflect the reduced overhead structure of the Successor.
EBITDA. EBITDA, excluding the $1.7 million charge related to the purchase
accounting write-up of inventory, was $38.7 million for Fiscal 1996, an increase
of $0.7 million, or 1.8%, as compared to $38.0 million on a pro forma basis for
Fiscal 1995. Both Fiscal 1996 and pro forma Fiscal 1995 were negatively impacted
by the Company's efforts to consolidate its Salt Lake City, Utah operation into
its San Carlos, California operation. In Fiscal 1996, costs associated with this
consolidation, including travel and training expenses, temporary duplication of
labor and facility resources, and poor manufacturing yields on the moved product
lines, negatively impacted EBITDA by approximately $2.4 million. In the fourth
quarter of Fiscal 1995, the initial relocation announcement had a significant
impact on the morale and productivity of the Salt Lake City employees. The
Company believes that the impact of the relocation announcement, along with
higher commissions earned by certain salespeople

comparisons do not differ from the historical sales comparisons.
(2) There were sales to Varian in these markets. Pro forma Fiscal 1995 is

-25-
<PAGE> 27
and sales representatives as a result of a higher than normal rate of incoming
orders in the fourth quarter (which commissions are earned prior to the
generation of sales), negatively impacted pro forma Fiscal 1995 EBITDA by
approximately $2.0 million.
EBITDA was 15.0% of sales in Fiscal 1996 which is flat compared to Fiscal 1995
pro forma EBITDA margin of 15.0% of total pro forma sales, but reflects the
earnings of the Company on a stand alone basis. Historical EBITDA, as a
percentage of sales, for the 45 weeks ended August 11, 1995 was 9.8%.
NET EARNINGS. Net earnings before preferred dividends were $8.3 for Fiscal 1996
an increase of $1.1 million, or 16.2%, as compared to pro forma net earnings of
$7.2 million for Fiscal 1995. In Fiscal 1995, in connection with the
Acquisition, the Company wrote off $31.4 million of acquired in-process research
and development, which significantly affected net income for the seven weeks
ended September 29, 1995.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's continuing operating activities have provided adequate capital and
liquidity for the Company for the periods presented. Prior to the Acquisition,
the Predecessor's short-term cash requirements were provided by Varian through
an intercompany credit facility arrangement.
Cash flows provided by operating activities decreased to $5.3 million for Fiscal
1997 from $11.3 million for Fiscal 1996 as higher net earnings were offset by
higher levels of inventory and accounts receivable as well as lower accrued
liabilities and advances from customers. Inventory increased by $4.3 million
primarily due to delays in product shipments, and accounts receivable
increased by $1.9 million related to the high volume of shipments in the last
month of the year. Accrued liabilities decreased by $7.3 million primarily due
to lower accrued payroll and employee benefit requirements as of October 3,
1997 as compared to September 27, 1996.
Investing activities in Fiscal 1997 were comprised principally of capital
expenditures for property, plant and equipment which amounted to $9.2 million in
Fiscal 1997, $12.5 million in Fiscal 1996 and $6.9 million in Fiscal 1995.
Investments in property, plant and equipment decreased $3.3 million in Fiscal
1997, as compared to Fiscal 1996, primarily as a result of the Company's
completion of consolidation efforts in its San Carlos and Palo Alto facilities.
The Company's continuing operations typically do not have large capital
requirements. Excluding the one-time improvements made in connection with
consolidation activities, which were completed in Fiscal 1997, expenditures for
the purchase of property, plant and equipment in Fiscal 1997 and Fiscal 1996
were $6.6 million and $8.7 million, respectively. Expenditures in Fiscal 1995,
excluding costs of seismic retrofits, were $6.9 million. Capital expenditures
are generally made to replace existing assets, increase productivity, facilitate
cost reductions or meet regulatory requirements. The Company has begun to
upgrade its computer systems with equipment and software that is "Year 2000"
compliant and, as a result, has acquired $1.6 million of equipment in Fiscal
Year 1997 under a capital lease.
Financing activities in Fiscal 1997 and Fiscal 1996 were related almost entirely
to repayments of or proceeds from the Company's Senior Credit Agreement.
-26-
<PAGE> 28
The Company's primary source of liquidity, other than funds generated from
operations or other sources of liquidity, is the $35.0 million revolving credit
facility provided by the Senior Credit Agreement. Of this amount, $6.4 million
was available for CPI to draw upon as of October 3, 1997. The Senior Credit
Agreement does not require CPI, at any time, to exchange any of its
floating-rate obligations under the Senior Credit Agreement into fixed-rate
obligations.
Management believes that the Company will have adequate capital resources and
liquidity to meet its obligations, fund all required capital expenditures and
pursue its business strategy for the foreseeable future (and in any event for at
least the next twelve months). Such capital resources and liquidity are expected
to be available from the Company's cash flow provided by operations and
borrowings under CPI's Senior Credit Agreement.
Impact of Inflation
Generally, the Company has been able to pass on inflation-related cost increases
to its customers; consequently, inflation has not had a material impact on the
Company's historical operations or profitability.
Foreign Currency Exposure
Although the majority of the Company's net sales, including international sales,
are made pursuant to contracts denominated in U.S. dollars, a varying portion of
the Company's net sales are denominated in foreign currencies. In general, the
most significant foreign currencies for the Company are the British pound, the
German mark and the French franc. Although a decrease in the value of any of
these currencies compared to the U.S. dollar would have the effect of reducing
the Company's net sales (which are reported in U.S. dollars), the Company does
not believe that its exposure to such foreign currency rate fluctuations is
significant.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income".
SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive
income and its components in the financial statements. It requires
classification of other comprehensive income, as defined by the standard, by
their nature (e.g., unrealized gains or losses on securities) in a financial
statement, but does not require a specific format for that statement. The
accumulated balance of other comprehensive income is to be displayed separately
from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of
the balance sheet. This statement is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997 and reclassification of
financial statements for earlier periods provided for comparative purposes is
required.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information". The statement requires that a public
business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its
reportable operating segments on the basis that is used internally for
evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to
segments. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997.
The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 130 and SFAS No. 131 in 1998 and does not
expect that the adoption of these pronouncements will have a material effect on
the Company's consolidated financial statements except that there may be
significant modifications in segment disclosures.

Year 2000
The Company has conducted a comprehensive review of its computer systems to
identify the systems that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue and is
developing an implementation plan to resolve the issue. The Year 2000 problem is
the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather that four
to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's programs that have
time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather
than the year 2000. This could result in a major system failure or
miscalculations. The Company presently believes that, with modifications to
existing software and converting to new software, the Year 2000 problem will not
pose significant operational problems for the Company's computer systems as
modified and converted. However, if such modifications and conversions are not
completed timely, the Year 2000 problem may have a material impact on the
operations of the Company.

THE HOLDING EQUITY PLAN
The Named Executive Officer and certain of Holding's and CPI's other executive
officers are participants in Holding's 1995 Management Equity Plan (the "Holding
Equity Plan"). Under the Holding Equity Plan, participants may purchase shares
of Holding Common Stock ("Management Shares") at a price determined by Holding's
board of directors to be the fair market value of such Holding Common Stock on
the date the participant executes an agreement to purchase the shares. Holding
has reserved a total of 50,000 shares of Holding Common Stock for issuance under
the Holding Equity Plan, 45,870 of which were issued to the Company's Chief
Executive Officer, certain executive officers and key employees (collectively,
any executive officers and key employees who may acquire Management Shares are
referred to as the "Management Investors") in Fiscal 1995. No additional shares
were issued in Fiscal 1996 and 650 shares were repurchased in Fiscal 1997.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
Neither Holding nor CPI has a Compensation Committee. None of the directors of
Holding or CPI are officers or employees or former officers or employees of
Holding, CPI or any of their respective subsidiaries, other than Mr. Wilunowski,
or had any relationships which would require disclosure by the Company pursuant
to Item 404 of Regulation S-K ("Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions"), except as described below.
LGP is investment adviser to, and an affiliate of the general partner of, GEI
II, which holds approximately 72.0% of the outstanding shares of Holding.
Holding, in turn, owns all of the outstanding shares of common stock of CPI.
Messrs. Green, Danhakl and Annick, who are directors of Holding and CPI, are
also stockholders of the general partner of LGP. See "Directors and Executive
Officers." In connection with the Acquisition, Holding and CPI entered into a
Management Services Agreement with LGP pursuant to which LGP will receive an
annual fee of approximately $362,000 plus reasonable expenses for providing
management, consulting and financial planning services, including assistance in
strategic planning, providing market and financial analysis, negotiating and
structuring financing, and exploring, negotiating and arranging expansion and
capital market opportunities, in the future. The Management Services Agreement
has a term of up to twelve years. Holding and CPI believe that the contacts and
expertise provided by LGP in these areas enhance the Company's opportunities and
management's expertise in these matters and that the fees to be paid to LGP
fairly reflect the value of the services provided by LGP. In Fiscal 1997, LGP
received $376,000 pursuant to the terms of the Management Service Agreement. In
addition to an annual fee for such management consulting services, the
Management Services Agreement provides that LGP may receive reasonable and
customary fees and expenses from time to time for providing financial advisory
and investment banking services in connection with major financial transactions
that may be undertaken in the future. The Senior Credit Agreement and the
indenture governing the Notes (the "Indenture") also include certain provisions
regarding approval of affiliate transactions.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
Individuals who are officers of Holding and CPI, as well as Messrs. Green,
Danhakl and Annick, will not receive any compensation directly for their service
on Holding's and CPI's Boards of Directors. Holding and CPI have entered into a
management services agreement pursuant to which LGP will receive an annual fee
plus reasonable expenses for providing management, consulting and financial
planning services, including assistance in strategic planning, providing market
and financial analyses, negotiating and structuring financing and exploring
expansion opportunities, in the future. See "ITEM 13 Certain Relationships and
Related Transactions." It is anticipated that other directors, if any, will
receive customary fees for service on Holding's and CPI's respective Boards of
Directors.

ITEM 13: CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Management Agreements
LGP is investment adviser to, and an affiliate of the general partner of, GEI
II, which holds approximately 72.0% of the outstanding shares of Holding.
Holding, in turn, owns all of the outstanding shares of common stock of CPI.
Messrs. Green, Danhakl and Annick, who are directors of Holding and CPI, are
also stockholders of the general partner of LGP. In connection with the
Acquisition, Holding and CPI entered into a Management Services Agreement with
LGP pursuant to which LGP will receive an annual fee of approximately $362,000
plus reasonable expenses for providing management, consulting and financial
planning services, including assistance in strategic planning, providing market
and financial analysis, negotiating and structuring financing, and exploring,
negotiating and arranging expansion and capital market opportunities, in the
future. The Management Services Agreement has a term of up to twelve years.
Holding and CPI believe that the contacts and expertise provided by LGP in these
areas enhance the Company's opportunities and management's expertise in these
matters and that the fees to be paid to LGP fairly reflect the value of the
services provided by LGP. In Fiscal 1997, LGP received $376,000 pursuant to the
terms of the Management Services Agreement. In addition to an annual fee for
such management consulting services, the Management Services Agreement provides
that LGP may receive reasonable and customary fees and expenses from time to
time for providing financial advisory and investment banking services in
connection with major financial transactions that may be undertaken in the
future. The Senior Credit Agreement and the Indenture also include certain
provisions regarding approval of affiliate transactions.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Communications & Power Industries, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Communications &
Power Industries, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Communications & Power
Industries Holding Corporation) and subsidiaries ( "CPI" or the "Successor") as
of October 3, 1997 and September 27, 1996, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the
53-week period ended October 3, 1997, the 52-week period ended September 27,
1996 and the 7-week period ended September 29, 1995. We have also audited the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'equity, and cash
flows of CPI's predecessor, the Electron Devices Business of Varian Associates,
Inc. (the "Predecessor") for the 45-week period ended August 11, 1995. In
connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements for the
periods indicated above, we have also audited the financial statement schedule
as listed in the accompanying index. These consolidated financial statements and
financial statement schedule are the responsibility of CPI's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, CPI acquired
assets and assumed liabilities on August 11, 1995 in a transaction that was
accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements
of the Successor are presented on a different cost basis than the consolidated
financial statements of the Predecessor and, therefore, are not comparable.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Communications &
Power Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of October 3, 1997 and September 27,
1996, the results of their operations and their cash flows for the 53-week
period ended October 3, 1997, the 52-week period ended September 27, 1996, the
7-week period ended September 29, 1995, and the results of operations and cash
flows of the Electron Devices Business of Varian Associates, Inc. for the
45-week period ended August 11, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein.

BACKGROUND AND THE ACQUISITION
Prior to August 11, 1995, Communication and Power Industries Inc.'s ("CPI" or
"Successor") operations were the principal operations of the Electron Devices
Business (the "Predecessor"), a segment of Varian Associates, Inc. ("Varian"),
excluding the Tempe, Arizona operations. The Predecessor consisted of
substantially all of the assets of Varian and its affiliates that were used
primarily in developing, manufacturing and distributing microwave and power grid
vacuum electronic devices, microwave amplifiers, modulators and various other
power supply equipment and devices. On August 11, 1995, CPI acquired these
assets (the "Acquisition") from Varian and was then merged with a wholly owned
subsidiary of Communications & Power Industries Holding Corporation ("Holding"),
a corporation newly formed by a group of investors, including management of
Holding and CPI. References to CPI or its business for periods prior to August
11, 1995 shall be references to the Predecessor and its business, unless the
context otherwise requires.
A summary of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values is

The Acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase, and, accordingly, the
purchase price was allocated based upon the fair values of assets acquired and
liabilities assumed as of August 11, 1995.
In connection with the Acquisition, CPI entered into two senior term loans in
the aggregate amount of $42.0 million (the "Senior Term Loans") and a revolving
credit facility in a principal amount of up to $35.0 million (including a $5.0
million sub-facility for letters of credit, subsequently increased to $7.5
million) pursuant to the Credit Agreement with Bankers Trust Company, as agent,
and the lenders thereunder (as subsequently amended, the "Senior Credit
Agreement"), of which
F-9

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
approximately $23.0 million was drawn in connection with the consummation of the
Acquisition. Additional financing for the Acquisition was obtained through the
issuance of 12% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2005 (the "Senior Subordinated
Notes") of CPI in the aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million, the issuance
of Series A 14% Senior Redeemable Exchangeable Cumulative Preferred Stock due
2007 (the "Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock") of CPI and the issuance of Series
A 14% Junior Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Junior Preferred Stock") of CPI
and common stock of Holding.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of the
Predecessor for the 45-week period ended August 11, 1995. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements for the 53-week period ended October 3, 1997,
the 52-week period ended September 27, 1996 and the 7-week period ended
September 29, 1995 include the results of CPI and its direct and indirect wholly
owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, significant intercompany balances
and transactions within the Predecessor have been eliminated.
In connection with the Acquisition, Varian retained certain assets and
liabilities of the Predecessor. The retention of these assets and liabilities
reduced the Predecessor's cash flow from operating activities during the 45-week
period ending August 11, 1995. This was partially offset by an increase in CPI's
cash flow from operating activities during the 7-week period ended September 29,
1995.
The Predecessor's and Successor's fiscal years are the 52- or 53-week periods
which end on the Friday nearest September 30.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Currency on hand, demand deposits, and all highly liquid investments with an
original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash and cash
equivalents.

COMMUNICATIONS & POWER INDUSTRIES, INC.,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
Goodwill
The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired
is classified as goodwill and is being amortized over its estimated useful life
of 25 years on a straight-line basis. CPI periodically evaluates the ongoing
profitability of the business to determine if impairment in the value of this
asset has occurred.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Assets to be Disposed Of
CPI adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, on January 1, 1996. SFAS No. 121
requires long-lived assets to be evaluated for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to future cash flows to be
generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed
of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs
to sell. The adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have a material effect on CPI'S
results of operations
Warranty
CPI's products are generally warranted for a variety of periods, typically one
to five years or a predetermined product usage life. Estimated future costs of
repair, replacement or customer accommodations are reflected in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
Environmental Liabilities
Liabilities for environmental expenditures are recorded when it is probable that
obligations have been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.
There were no environmental liabilities established by CPI during Fiscal 1997 or
Fiscal 1996. Environmental costs of the Predecessor were accumulated at the
corporate level within Varian and charged to the Predecessor through corporate
allocations. In connection with the Acquisition, Varian retained the
environmental liabilities of the Predecessor existing as of the closing date at
the Predecessor's facilities.
Deferred Debt Issue Costs
Costs incurred related to the issuance of CPI's long-term debt and other credit
facilities are capitalized and amortized over the estimated time the obligations
are expected to be outstanding using the effective interest method. The
amortization period used for the deferred costs associated with the revolving
credit facility, the Senior Term Loans, and the Senior Subordinated Notes is 3
years, 7 years and 10 years, respectively.

COMMUNICATIONS & POWER INDUSTRIES, INC.,
and subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock
CPI's Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock was issued in units with an aggregate of
10,500 shares of common stock of Holding. The fair value of the shares of
Holding's common stock issued, and the issue costs associated with the issuance
of the Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock, have been reflected as a reduction of
the Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock issued and is being amortized via a charge
to accumulated deficit over the period until mandatory redemption, 12 years,
using the effective interest method.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. CPI's
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax
consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis and the financial
reporting basis of assets and liabilities. The Predecessor's operations were
included in the consolidated income tax returns filed by Varian. However, for
purposes of the financial statements of the Predecessor, the provision for
income taxes was prepared using the effective tax rate of Varian's consolidated
financial statements on a separate entity basis. The provision for income taxes
of CPI and the Predecessor is based upon the differences between financial
reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities measured using the enacted tax
rates and laws in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The
computed amount of the current provision for income taxes of the Predecessor was
recorded to business equity.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information
For Fiscal 1997, cash was paid for interest and taxes in the amount of
$17,087,000 and $1,662,000, respectively. For Fiscal 1996, cash was paid for
interest and taxes in the amount of $16,932,000 and $524,000, respectively.
There were no interest payments or taxes paid during the 7-week period ended
September 29, 1995, nor were there any cash payments made for interest or taxes
by the Predecessor (all cash payments relating to such matters were made by
Varian) during the period presented.
Non-cash financing activities included the payment of preferred dividends by CPI
on its Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock and its Junior Preferred Stock through
the issuance of 25,297 and 21,482 additional shares of its Senior Redeemable
Preferred Stock and 16,865 and 14,321 additional shares of its Junior Preferred
Stock during Fiscal 1997 and Fiscal 1996, respectively. No dividends were issued
during the 7-week period ended September 29, 1995. Amortization of discount and
issue costs on the Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock was $214,000, $214,000 and
$29,000 during Fiscal 1997, Fiscal 1996 and the 7-week period ended September
29, 1995, respectively. During Fiscal 1997, equipment of $1,584,000 was acquired
under a capital lease.
Revenue Recognition
Sales and related cost of sales are recognized primarily upon shipment of
products. Sales and related cost of sales under long-term contracts to
commercial customers and the U. S. government are recognized primarily as units
are delivered.
The estimated sales values of performance under certain U. S. government
fixed-price and fixed-price incentive contracts in process are recognized under
the percentage of completion method of accounting where the sales value is
determined on the basis of costs incurred. Provisions for anticipated losses are
made in the period in which they first become determinable. Sales under
cost-reimbursement contracts, primarily research and development contracts, are
recorded as costs are incurred and include estimated earned fees in the
proportion that costs incurred to date bear to total estimated costs. The fees
under certain U.S. government contracts may be increased or decreased in
accordance with cost or performance incentive provisions which measure actual
performance against established targets or other criteria. Such incentive fee
awards or penalties are included in revenue at the time the amounts can be
reasonably determined.
Business Risks and Credit Concentrations
CPI develops, manufactures and distributes components for systems used to
generate, amplify and transmit high-power/high frequency microwave and radio
frequency signals. End use applications of these systems include the
transmission and amplification of voice, data and video signals for broadcasting
and telecommunications, transmission of radar signals for navigation and
location, transmission of false signals for electronic countermeasures and
various other uses in the industrial, medical and scientific markets.
F-13
<PAGE> 57
COMMUNICATIONS & POWER INDUSTRIES, INC.,
and subsidiaries
(A wholly owned subsidiary of Communications &
Power Industries Holding Corporation)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
Defense-related applications such as certain radar, electronic countermeasures
and military communications constitute a significant portion of CPI's sales. The
U.S. defense budget has been declining since the mid-1980s. Although management
believes that CPI has successfully responded to shrinking defense budgets by
refocusing its operations on commercial and other non-defense applications, a
significant further decline in U.S. or global military spending could have a
material adverse effect on CPI's sales and earnings. Additionally, companies
engaged in supplying defense-related equipment and services to government
agencies are subject to certain business risks, including the ability of the
U.S. government to suspend them from receiving new contracts or to terminate
existing contracts for the U.S. government's convenience or for the default of
the contractor. In addition, the U.S. government could terminate contracts due
to insufficient or terminated congressional appropriations. CPI's contracts with
foreign governmental defense agencies are subject to similar limitations and
risks as those encountered with U.S. government contracts.
CPI believes that both its customer and industry base is well diversified,
however, changes in the marketplace of any of the above named industries may
significantly affect management's estimates and CPI's performance.
CPI's customers are located throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and
Asia. No single customer accounted for more than 5% of CPI's sales in either of
the Successor or Predecessor periods and no accounts receivable balance from any
customer exceeded 5% of net accounts receivable. Generally, CPI requires no
collateral from its customers and CPI estimates an allowance for doubtful
accounts based on the credit worthiness of its customers as well as general
economic conditions. Consequently, an adverse change in those factors could
affect CPI's estimate of its bad debts. Historical credit losses have been
within management's expectations.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of CPI's foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar.
Accordingly, assets and liabilities of subsidiaries outside of the United States
representing cash, inventory and accounts receivable or payable are translated
into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at year-end. Other accounts
including property, plant and equipment are translated at historical exchange
rates, which for assets acquired in connection with the Acquisition represent
the rate as of August 11, 1995. Revenue and expense items are translated at
effective rates of exchange prevailing during each year, except that
depreciation is expensed at historical exchange rates.
CPI enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge sales transactions and firm
commitments denominated in foreign currencies. Gains and losses on the forward
contracts are recognized based on changes in exchange rates, as are
offsetting foreign exchange gains and losses on the underlying transactions.
CPI does not engage in foreign currency speculation.
The aggregate transaction and exchange gains and losses was $463,000 loss and
$296,000 loss for Fiscal 1997 and Fiscal 1996, respectively. For the 7-week
period ending September 29, 1995, the aggregate transaction and exchange gains
and losses were not significant. For the 45-week period ending August 11, 1995,
the aggregate exchange gain or loss, net of the gain or loss from the foreign

exchange contracts, was accumulated at the corporate level within Varian and
allocated to the Predecessor based on its estimated proportionate share of
international sales, and is included in the corporate allocations described
later in these notes.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
accounts payable and long-term debt. The carrying value of CPI's cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt obligations
approximate their fair values which, for debt, is based upon current rates
available to CPI for debt of the same maturities. Based on recent trading
activity, CPI's Senior Subordinated Notes have been trading at a premium, or
approximately 111%, as of December 1997.
Use of Estimates
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
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income".
SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive
income and its components in the financial statements. It requires
classification of other comprehensive income, as defined by the standard, by
their nature (e.g., unrealized gains or losses on securities) in a financial
statement, but does not require a specific format for that statement. The
accumulated balance of other comprehensive income is to be displayed separately
from retained earnings and additional paid-in-capital in the equity section of
the balance sheet. This statement is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997 and reclassification of
financial statements for earlier periods provided for comparative purposes is
required.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information". The statement requires that a public
business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its
reportable operating segments on the basis that is used internally for
evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to
segments. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997.
CPI plans to adopt SFAS No. 130 and SFAS No. 131 in 1998 and does not expect
that the adoption of these pronouncements will have a material effect on
the Company's consolidated financial statements except that there may be
significant modifications in segment disclosures.

COSTS TO EXIT AN ACTIVITY OF THE PREDECESSOR
Prior to consummation of the Acquisition, management of the Predecessor had
begun to formulate plans to exit certain activities of the Predecessor, which
were finalized shortly after the Acquisition. These plans included two principal
costs: (a) the costs associated with the contractually required closing and
consolidation of CPI's Salt Lake City, Utah, operation into CPI's San Carlos,
California, facility completed during the
F-17

first half of Fiscal 1997, and (b) the costs associated with disposing of
certain excess plant capacity, which includes the consolidation, completed
during the first quarter of Fiscal 1997, of one of its leased manufacturing
facilities into its Palo Alto, California, facility.
In connection with the Acquisition, CPI accrued $1,259,000. In Fiscal 1996 and
1997, CPI had expended approximately $500,000 and $800,000, respectively,
related to closing, consolidation and relocation costs associated with CPI's
established exit plans.
SENIOR CREDIT AGREEMENT
The Senior Credit Agreement provides for two term loans in the aggregate amount
of $42.0 million, comprised of a $25.0 million "Term Loan A" tranche and a $17.0
million "Term Loan B" tranche, and a $35.0 million revolving credit facility
which includes a sub-facility for letters of credit. This sub-facility was
increased from $5.0 million to $7.5 million effective June 27, 1997.
Availability of advances under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a
borrowing base test. CPI's obligations under the Senior Credit Agreement are
secured by substantially all of its assets (including the issued and outstanding
capital stock of its direct and indirect subsidiaries) and are guaranteed by
Holding and all of CPI's subsidiaries. As of October 3, 1997, CPI had $6.4
million available under the Revolving Credit Facility of which $1.7 million was
available for issuance of letters of credit.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan A bear interest at
a rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate (approximately 5.76% as of October 3, 1997)
plus 2.5% per annum or the Base Rate (8.50% as of October 3, 1997) plus 1.0% per
annum and borrowings under Term Loan B bear interest at a rate equal to the
Eurodollar Rate plus 3.0% per annum or Base Rate plus 1.5% per annum, in each
case as selected by CPI. Applicable interest rates on Term Loan A and the
Revolving Credit Facility will be reduced after the first anniversary of the
consummation of the Acquisition by up to 0.5% per annum if CPI meets and
continues to meet certain financial tests. In addition to customary fronting and
other fees, CPI will pay a fee equal to 1.5% per annum on undrawn amounts of
letters of credit and a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum on unused facilities
under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Senior Credit Agreement also provides
for a prepayment premium in the event that it is voluntarily prepaid within two
years of the establishment of the Senior Credit Agreement unless such prepayment
is made with funds raised through an initial public offering of Holding's stock.
The Term Loans are subject to quarterly payments in the aggregate annual amounts
as follows (in thousands):

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
As of October 3, 1997, CPI had made payments of $6,000,000 against Term Loan A
and $350,000 against Term Loan B, of which, $3,750,000 and $200,000 were paid
in Fiscal 1997 against Term Loan A and Term Loan B, respectively.
The Revolving Credit Facility matures on August 11, 2000. CPI is required to
make prepayments on the Senior Facility with 75% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined
in the Senior Credit Agreement), 75% of the net proceeds of certain stock
issuances and 100% of the net proceeds from certain asset sales. Such
prepayments will be applied to remaining principal installments of the Term
Loans allocated on a pro rata basis and following repayment of the Term Loans,
to reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Facility.
In addition, CPI is subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants
customarily contained in agreements of this type, including, without limitation,
covenants that restrict, subject to specified exceptions: (i) incurrence of
additional indebtedness and other obligations; (ii) mergers or consolidations;
(iii) asset sales; (iv) changes of control and corporate structure; (v) granting
or incurrence of liens to secure any other indebtedness (including the Notes or
the notes for which the Senior Preferred Stock is exchangeable (the "Exchange
Notes")); (vi) prepayment or modification of the terms of other indebtedness
(including the Notes and the Exchange Notes); (vii) engaging in transactions
with affiliates; (viii) declaration or payment of dividends or distributions on
CPI's capital stock; (ix) capital expenditures; and (x) other acquisition and
investment activities. In addition, the Senior Credit Agreement requires that
CPI, on a consolidated basis, maintain certain specified financial covenants,
including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, minimum net worth and minimum
EBITDA. As of October 3, 1997, CPI was in compliance with all covenants except
with respect to a certain asset sale, for which a waiver to apply the net
proceeds to the Revolving Credit Facility rather than a pro rata share to the
Term Loans was obtained.
SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES
The $100 million principal amount of Senior Subordinated Notes mature in 2005
and bear interest at 12% per annum, payable semiannually. The payment of
principal of, premium and interest on, and other obligations evidenced by the
Notes is subordinated in right of payment, as set forth in the indenture
governing the Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Indenture"), to the prior payment
in full of all senior indebtedness (as defined), including indebtedness under
the Senior Credit Agreement, whether outstanding on the date of the Indenture or
thereafter incurred. CPI's payment obligations under the Notes are jointly and
severally guaranteed by Holding and CPI's subsidiaries.

The Notes are not redeemable at CPI's option prior to August 1, 2000.
Thereafter, the Notes are subject to redemption at the option of CPI, in whole
or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal
amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the
applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on
August 1 of the years indicated below:

</TABLE>
Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to August 1, 1998, CPI may redeem up to 35%
of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally outstanding at a
redemption price of 112% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date, with the net proceeds
of one or more public offerings of common stock of Holding.
Upon the occurrence of a change of control, each holder of Notes will have the
right to require CPI to offer to repurchase all or any part of such holder's
Notes. The Senior Credit Agreement currently prohibits CPI from making such an
offer. In addition, the Indenture covering the Notes provides for various
restrictions, including restrictions on mergers or the sales of CPI's assets,
dividend payments, purchase, redemption, acquisition or retirement of equity
interests of CPI or its affiliates, principal payment on any indebtedness of CPI
or guarantors that is subordinated to the Notes, the incurrence of certain
indebtedness, or the making of any restricted investment, as defined.
SENIOR REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
CPI is authorized to issue up to 325,000 shares of nonvoting Series B 14% Senior
Redeemable Exchangeable Cumulative Preferred Stock due 2007 (the "Senior
Preferred Stock"), including shares of Senior Preferred Stock which may be used
to pay dividends on the Senior Preferred Stock if CPI so elects. Dividends on
the Senior Preferred Stock accrue at the rate of 14% per annum and are payable
quarterly, commencing on November 1, 1995. On or before August 1, 2000, CPI may,
at its option and subject to debt covenant restrictions, pay dividends in cash
or in shares of Senior Preferred Stock having an aggregate liquidation
preference equal to the amount of such dividends. After August 1, 2000,
dividends may be paid only in cash.
During the year ended October 3, 1997, CPI paid preferred dividends through the
issuance of 25,297 shares of its Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock.
The Senior Preferred Stock is not redeemable prior to August 1, 2000.
Thereafter, the Senior Preferred Stock will be redeemable at the option of CPI,
in whole or in part from time to time, initially at 107% of the liquidation
preference thereof and at decreasing prices thereafter to and including August
1, 2004 and thereafter at 100% of the liquidation preference thereof, together

each case with accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon. In addition, on or
prior to August 1, 1998, CPI may, on one or more occasions, redeem any or all of
the shares of Senior Preferred Stock then outstanding at a redemption price
equal to 114% of the liquidation preference thereof plus accumulated and unpaid
dividends thereon, with the proceeds of one or more public offerings of
Holding's common stock. The Senior Preferred Stock is subject to mandatory
redemption in whole on August 1, 2007 at a price equal to the liquidation
preference thereof, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends.
In the event of a change of control, CPI will be required to make an offer to
each holder of shares of Senior Preferred Stock to repurchase all or a portion
of such holder's Senior Preferred Stock at a price equal to 101% of the
liquidation preference thereof, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. The
Senior Credit Agreement currently prohibits and the Indenture currently
restricts CPI from making such an offer. In addition, CPI will be required to
use the proceeds from certain asset sales to permanently reduce senior
indebtedness of CPI, to invest in certain related assets or businesses or to
offer to repurchase Senior Preferred Stock. Any such repurchases shall be
effected at an offer price equal to 100% of the liquidation preference of the
shares of Senior Preferred Stock purchased, plus accumulated and unpaid
dividends.
The Certificate of Designation covering the Senior Preferred Stock contains
certain provisions that, among other things, limit the ability of CPI to incur
indebtedness, pay dividends, incur liens, make loans or investments, transact
with affiliates and engage in mergers and consolidations.
CPI may, at its option, on any dividend payment date, exchange all, but not less
than all, of the outstanding shares of Senior Preferred Stock into 14% Junior
Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the "Exchange Notes"), so long as such exchange is
permitted by the Senior Credit Agreement and the Indenture, in an aggregate
principal amount not to exceed the aggregate liquidation preference, plus
accumulated and unpaid dividends on the date of exchange. The Exchange Notes
will be general unsecured obligations of CPI and will be subordinated to all
existing and future senior indebtedness of CPI, including indebtedness under the
Senior Credit Agreement and the Indenture. Except for terms relating to these
subordination provisions, payment of interest on a quarterly basis, the option
to issue additional Exchange Notes on or prior to August 1, 2000 in lieu of
paying cash interest, optional redemption and the date on which repayment is
mandatory (all of which terms would be similar to the terms of Senior Preferred
Stock), the terms of the Exchange Notes will be generally identical to the
Notes.
JUNIOR PREFERRED STOCK
CPI is authorized to issue up to 525,000 shares of nonvoting Series A 14% Junior
Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Junior Preferred Stock") including shares of
Junior Preferred Stock which may be used to pay dividends on the Junior
Preferred Stock if CPI elects to pay dividends in shares of Junior Preferred
Stock. The aggregate liquidation preference of the Junior Preferred Stock issued
in connection with the consummation of the Acquisition was $10.0 million.
Dividends on the Junior Preferred Stock accrue at the rate of 14% per annum and
are payable quarterly, commencing on November 1, 1995. On or before the
redemption of the Senior Preferred Stock or the exchange of Senior Preferred
Stock into Exchange Notes, CPI is required to pay dividends on the Junior

Preferred Stock in additional fully paid and non-assessable shares of Junior
Preferred Stock having an aggregate liquidation preference equal to the amount
of such dividends. After such redemption or exchange, CPI may, at its option and
subject to debt and senior preferred stock covenant restrictions, pay dividends
on the Junior Preferred Stock in cash or in additional fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Junior Preferred Stock having an aggregate liquidation
preference equal to the amount of such dividends.
During the year ended October 3, 1997, CPI paid preferred dividends through the
issuance of 16,865 shares of its Junior Preferred Stock.
The Junior Preferred Stock ranks junior in right of payment to all liabilities
of CPI and to any preferred stock, including Senior Preferred Stock, that is
senior in right of payment to the Junior Preferred Stock and ranks senior in
right of payment to any additional preferred stock which does not expressly
provide that it ranks senior to or on a parity with the Junior Preferred Stock
and CPI's common stock.
LEASE COMMITMENTS
At October 3, 1997, CPI was committed to minimum rentals under noncancellable
operating lease agreements primarily for land and facility space. CPI also
leases certain computer equipment under capital leases that expire in 2002.
Payments under these capital leases are deferred until 1998, with payments
following over the next 48 months. As collateral for these capital leases, CPI
has issued a $1.0M letter of credit in favor of the lender. A summary of future
minimum lease payments (in thousands) follows:

CONTINGENCIES
The amount of outstanding letters of credit provided for under CPI's Senior
Credit Agreement was approximately $5.8 million as of October 3, 1997. These
outstanding obligations are comprised of the following: $3.4 million to one
foreign customer related to an advance payment guarantee, $1.0 million to a
lender related to a capital lease arrangement and $1.4 million to various other
beneficiaries related primarily to insurance needs and performance bond
guarantees.
Varian is currently a defendant in certain legal actions relating to the
Predecessor and could incur an uninsured liability in one or more of them. The
agreement for the sale of the Predecessor provides for Varian's retention of
liability arising out of the above referenced litigation. Accordingly, in the
opinion of management, the outcome of that litigation will not have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows
of CPI.
Varian has also been named by the Environmental Protection Agency or third
parties as a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, at sites to which
Varian (including in some cases the Predecessor) is alleged to have shipped
manufacturing waste for disposal. Varian is also involved in various stages of
environmental investigation and/or remediation under the direction of, or in
consultation with, local and/or state agencies at certain facilities of CPI.
Uncertainty as to (a) the extent to which Varian caused, if at all, the
conditions being investigated; (b) the extent of environmental contamination and
risks; (c) the applicability of changing and complex environmental laws; (d) the
number and financial viability of other potentially responsible parties; (e) the
stage of the investigation and/or remediation; (f) the unpredictability of
investigation and/or remediation costs (including as to when they will be
incurred); (g) applicable clean-up standards; (h) the remediation (if any) which
will ultimately be required; and (i) available technology make it difficult to
assess the likelihood and scope of further investigation or remediation
activities or to estimate the future costs of such activities if undertaken.
The agreement for the sale of the Predecessor provides for Varian's retention of
liability arising out of investigative and remedial action and environmental
claims for conditions existing as of the closing date at the above-referenced
facilities. Accordingly, based on information currently available, management
believes that the costs of these matters are not likely to have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows
of CPI.
From time to time, CPI may be subject to other claims that arise in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, all such matters
involve amounts which would not have a material adverse effect on CPI's
consolidated financial position if unfavorably resolved. There are currently no
such matters.

INDUSTRY SEGMENTS AND SALES
CPI operates in a single business segment. CPI covers and is engaged in the
development, manufacture and sale of a broad line of electron devices used in
broadcasting, communications, and other commercial and military applications.
CPI's North American operations (in the United States and Canada) are
responsible for the design and development of all products as well as
manufacturing and shipping to meet worldwide customer commitments. CPI's
operations outside of North America consist of sales offices in certain foreign
countries. Accordingly, for financial statement purposes, it is not meaningful
to segregate operating profits for the foreign operations. Identifiable assets
outside of North America are less than 10% of total consolidated assets.

deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax
assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. Based upon the
level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income,
management now believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the
benefits of such deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the valuation allowance
established during the prior years was eliminated during 1997.

RETIREMENT AND PROFIT SHARING PLANS
Effective August 12, 1995, CPI adopted a qualified 401(k) plan covering
substantially all its domestic and Canadian employees. CPI's major obligation is
to contribute an amount based on a percentage of each participant's base pay.
CPI also has a Supplemental Retirement Plan covering certain executive officers.
Total contributions to these plans by CPI was $2.5 million for Fiscal 1997, $2.6
million for Fiscal 1996 and $247,000 for the 7-week period ended September 29,
1995. Total contributions of the Predecessor for all plans amounted to $4.3
million for the 45-week period ended August 11, 1995.
CPI's bonus program provides incentive bonuses to senior management if certain
performance goals are achieved and to employees if these goals are exceeded.
Such performance goals are measured based upon earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, return on sales and asset utilization.

Sales to Varian $ 9,234 12,809 1,014 8,800
Purchases from Varian $ 5,742 5,171 315 3,700
</TABLE>
Sales and purchases of the Predecessor have been recorded at cost to the
originating business unit, so that no profit margin is recognized on transfer.
In connection with the Acquisition, CPI entered into various agreements with
Varian that provide for various services to be performed by or for Varian or for
products to be purchased from or provided to Varian. A summary of the
significant agreements are as follows:
Transitional Services Agreement. Under the Transitional Services Agreement,
Varian provided certain services to CPI in order to facilitate the transition of
CPI to a stand-alone operation. In addition, in connection with the separation
and creation of independent utilities and systems at CPI's facilities, the
Transitional Services Agreement required Varian to pay or reimburse CPI (in some
cases), subject to certain limitations. As of October 3, 1997, all obligations
under this agreement were fulfilled and any on-going arrangements between the
companies have been negotiated at an arm's-length basis.
Supply Agreements. CPI and Varian entered into four product supply agreements
which contain certain customary provisions pertaining to, among other things,
pricing, shipment, delivery, acceptance and payment of certain products. Such
terms will vary to a certain degree among the Supply Agreements in order to
reflect differences in the types of products subject to the particular Supply
Agreement and the arrangements between the parties with respect to such
products. These agreements cover periods ranging from one to five years from the
date of the Acquisition and, in the case of certain "Key Components," Varian has
the right to extend the term of the agreement for an additional five years. The
supply agreements generally impose upon CPI and Varian certain minimum purchase
quantities and generally restrict CPI's ability to market certain specific
products to third parties. Management believes that the terms of these supply
agreements are no less favorable to CPI than that which would be obtained from
independent third parties for the purchase or supply of similar products.
Trademark License Agreement. Generally, under the terms of the Trademark License
Agreement, CPI is licensed to use Varian trademarks on its products for a period
of three years (although during the third year Varian trademarks may only be
used in connection with CPI's own trademarks). After the third year, CPI may not
use any Varian trademarks alone, but for an additional seven years may

<PAGE> 73
COMMUNICATIONS & POWER INDUSTRIES, INC.,
and subsidiaries

Power Industries Holding Corporation)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
identify its products as "formerly made by Varian". At the expiration of the
10-year period, CPI will not be permitted to utilize any Varian trademarks.
CPI and Varian have also entered into certain other agreements covering access
to certain of CPI's facilities as well as subleased and shared facilities.
CORPORATE ALLOCATIONS
Operating earnings of the Predecessor include allocations of costs accumulated
at the corporate level within Varian. Where it was possible to specifically
identify corporate amounts with the activities of the Predecessor, these amounts
have been charged or credited directly to the Predecessor without allocation or
apportionment. Costs of a wholly corporate nature (i.e. those that are
considered to relate purely to the support of Varian's centralized corporate
structure) were not allocated. Shared or common costs have been allocated to the
Predecessor on the basis which is considered to most fairly and reasonably
reflect the utilization of the services provided to, or benefit obtained by, the
Predecessor. Typical measures and activity indicators used for apportionment
purposes include sales revenues, headcount and facility area measurements.
Management believes that the cost allocations are reasonable and reflect the
costs incurred to support the operations of the Predecessor. Additionally,
management believes that the costs for such services would have been less on a
stand-alone basis, although determination as to specific amounts is not
practicable.
Allocations of corporate expenses included in the consolidated statements of
operations for the 45-week period ended August 11, 1995 were $11.2 million.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Holding and CPI have entered into an agreement to pay $362,000, plus
out-of-pocket expenses, annually to an advisor group of Holding's majority
shareholder. Certain individuals of the investor's advisor group are members of
Holding's and CPI's respective Boards of Directors. In addition, on August 11,
1995, CPI paid this advisor group a fee of $3,330,000 for services rendered in
connection with the Acquisition.
In connection with Holding's 1995 Management Equity Plan, certain executive
officers of CPI and Holding elected to pay a portion of the purchase price for
their Management Shares by delivery of a secured promissory note to Holding. The
aggregate principle amount of such Management Notes was $975,356 as of October
3, 1997. Of this amount, $800,000 is secured by a pledge of a portion (from 50%
to 75%) of the Management Shares issued to each executive officer and is
guaranteed by Varian. The balance of $175,356 is secured by a pledge of
approximately 91% of the Management Shares issued, but is not guaranteed by
Varian. Outstanding principal under each type of Management Note bears interest
at an annually adjustable rate equal to the "Applicable Federal Rate" in effect
under Internal Revenue Code Section 1274(d) for obligations of a term equal to
the then-remaining term of such note. Recourse by Holding under both types of
Management Notes is limited to the Management Shares pledged to secure the
applicable note.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Communications & Power Industries Holding Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Communications &
Power Industries Holding Corporation and subsidiaries ("Holding" or the
"Successor") as of October 3, 1997 and September 27, 1996, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash
flows for the 53-week period ended October 3, 1997, the 52-week period ended
September 27, 1996 and the 7-week period ended September 29, 1995. We have also
audited the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity,
and cash flows of Holding's predecessor, the Electron Devices Business of Varian
Associates, Inc. (the "Predecessor") for the 45-week period ended August 11,
1995. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements for
the periods indicated above, we have also audited the financial statement
schedule as listed in the accompanying index. These consolidated financial
statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of Holding's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, Holding
acquired assets and assumed liabilities on August 11, 1995 in a transaction that
was accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the consolidated financial
statements of the Successor are presented on a different cost basis than the
consolidated financial statements of the Predecessor and, therefore, are not
comparable.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Communications &
Power Industries Holding Corporation and subsidiaries as of October 3, 1997 and
September 27, 1996, the results of their operations and their cash flows for the
53-week period ended October 3, 1997, the 52-week period ended September 27,
1996, the 7-week period ended September 29, 1995, and the results of operations
and cash flows of the Electron Devices Business of Varian Associates, Inc. for
the 45-week period ended August 11, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein.

BACKGROUND AND THE ACQUISITION
Prior to August 11, 1995, Communication and Power Industries Inc.'s ("CPI" or
"Successor") operations were the principal operations of the Electron Devices
Business (the "Predecessor"), a segment of Varian Associates, Inc. ("Varian"),
excluding the Tempe, Arizona operations. The Predecessor consisted of
substantially all of the assets of Varian and its affiliates that were used
primarily in developing, manufacturing and distributing microwave and power grid
vacuum electronic devices, microwave amplifiers, modulators and various other
power supply equipment and devices. On August 11, 1995, CPI acquired these
assets (the "Acquisition") from Varian and was then merged with a wholly owned
subsidiary of Communications & Power Industries Holding Corporation ("Holding"),
a corporation newly formed by a group of investors, including management of
Holding and CPI. References to CPI or its business for periods prior to August
11, 1995 shall be references to the Predecessor and its business, unless the
context otherwise requires.

liabilities assumed as of August 11, 1995.
In connection with the Acquisition, CPI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holding,
entered into two senior term loans in the aggregate amount of $42.0 million (the
"Senior Term Loans") and a revolving credit facility in a principal amount of up
to $35.0 million (including a $5.0 million sub-

facility for letters of credit, subsequently increased to $7.5 million) pursuant
to the Credit Agreement with Bankers Trust Company, as agent, and the lenders
thereunder (as subsequently amended, the "Senior Credit Agreement"), of which
approximately $23.0 million was drawn in connection with the consummation of the
Acquisition. Additional financing for the Acquisition was obtained through the
issuance of 12% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2005 (the "Senior Subordinated
Notes") of CPI in the aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million, the issuance
of Series A 14% Senior Redeemable Exchangeable Cumulative Preferred Stock due
2007 (the "Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock") of CPI and the issuance of Series
A 14% Junior Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Junior Preferred Stock") of CPI
and common stock of Holding.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of the
Predecessor for the 45-week period ended August 11, 1995. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements for the 53-week period ended October 3, 1997,
the 52-week period ended September 27, 1996 and the 7-week period ended
September 29, 1995 include the results of CPI and its direct and indirect wholly
owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, significant intercompany balances
and transactions within the Predecessor have been eliminated.
In connection with the Acquisition, Varian retained certain assets and
liabilities of the Predecessor. The retention of these assets and liabilities
reduced the Predecessor's cash flow from operating activities during the 45-week
period ending August 11, 1995. This was partially offset by an increase in CPI's
cash flow from operating activities during the 7-week period ended September 29,
1995.
The Predecessor's and Successor's fiscal years are the 52- or 53-week periods
which end on the Friday nearest September 30.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Currency on hand, demand deposits, and all highly liquid investments with an
original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash and cash
equivalents.

Goodwill
The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired
is classified as goodwill and is being amortized over its estimated useful life
of 25 years on a straight-line basis. CPI periodically evaluates the ongoing
profitability of the business to determine if impairment in the value of this
asset has occurred.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Assets to be Disposed Of
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, on January 1, 1996. SFAS No. 121
requires long-lived assets to be evaluated for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to future cash flows to be
generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed
of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs
to sell. The adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have a material effect on the
Company's results of operations.
Warranty
The Company's products are generally warranted for a variety of periods,
typically one to five years or a predetermined product usage life. Estimated
future costs of repair, replacement or customer accommodations are reflected in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Environmental Liabilities
Liabilities for environmental expenditures are recorded when it is probable
that obligations have been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably
estimated. There were no environmental liabilities established by the Company
during Fiscal 1997 or Fiscal 1996. Environmental costs of the Predecessor were
accumulated at the corporate level within Varian and charged to the Predecessor
through corporate allocations. In connection with the Acquisition, Varian
retained the environmental liabilities of the Predecessor existing as of the
closing date at the Predecessor's facilities.
Deferred Debt Issue Costs
Costs incurred related to the issuance of CPI's long-term debt and other credit
facilities are capitalized and amortized over the estimated time the obligations
are expected to be outstanding using the effective interest method. The
amortization period used for the deferred costs associated with the revolving
credit facility, the Senior Term Loans, and the Senior Subordinated Notes is 3
years, 7 years and 10 years, respectively.
-F-40-

Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock
CPI's Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock was issued in units with an aggregate of
10,500 shares of common stock of Holding. The fair value of the shares of
Holding's common stock issued, and the issue costs associated with the issuance
of the Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock, have been reflected as a reduction of
the Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock issued and is being amortized via a charge
to accumulated deficit over the period until mandatory redemption, 12 years,
using the effective interest method.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Holding's
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax
consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis and the financial
reporting basis of assets and liabilities. The Predecessor's operations were
included in the consolidated income tax returns filed by Varian. However, for
purposes of the financial statements of the Predecessor, the provision for
income taxes was prepared using the effective tax rate of Varian's consolidated
financial statements on a separate entity basis. The provision for income taxes
of Holding and the Predecessor is based upon the differences between financial
reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities measured using the enacted tax
rates and laws in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The
computed amount of the current provision for income taxes of the Predecessor was
recorded to business equity.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information
For Fiscal 1997, cash was paid for interest and taxes in the amount of
$17,087,000 and $1,662,000, respectively. For Fiscal 1996, cash was paid for
interest and taxes in the amount of $16,932,000 and $524,000, respectively.
There were no interest payments or taxes paid during the 7-week period ended
September 29, 1995, nor were there any cash payments made for interest or taxes
by the Predecessor (all cash payments relating to such matters were made by
Varian) during the period presented.
Non-cash financing activities included the payment of preferred dividends by CPI
on its Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock and its Junior Preferred Stock through
the issuance of 25,297 and 21,482 additional shares of its Senior Redeemable
Preferred Stock and 16,865 and 14,321 additional shares of its Junior Preferred
Stock during Fiscal 1997 and Fiscal 1996, respectively. No dividends were issued
during the 7-week period ended September 29, 1995. Amortization of discount and
issue costs on the Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock was $214,000, $214,000 and
$29,000 during Fiscal 1997, Fiscal 1996 and the 7-week period ended September
29, 1995, respectively. During Fiscal 1997, equipment of $1,584,000 was acquired
under a capital lease.
Revenue Recognition
Sales and related cost of sales are recognized primarily upon shipment of
products. Sales and related cost of sales under long-term contracts to
commercial customers and the U.S. government are recognized primarily as units
are delivered.
The estimated sales values of performance under certain U.S. government
fixed-price and fixed-price incentive contracts in process are recognized under
the percentage of completion method of accounting where the sales value is
determined on the basis of costs incurred. Provisions for anticipated losses are
made in the period in which they first become determinable. Sales under
cost-reimbursement contracts, primarily research and development contracts, are
recorded as costs are incurred and include estimated earned fees in the
proportion that costs incurred to date bear to total estimated costs. The fees
under certain U.S. government contracts may be increased or decreased in
accordance with cost or performance incentive provisions which measure actual
performance against established targets or other criteria. Such incentive fee
awards or penalties are included in revenue at the time the amounts can be
reasonably determined.
Business Risks and Credit Concentrations
The Company develops, manufactures and distributes components for systems used
to generate, amplify and transmit high-power/high frequency microwave and radio
frequency signals. End use applications of these systems include the
transmission and amplification of voice, data and video signals for broadcasting
and telecommunications, transmission of radar signals for navigation and
location, transmission of false signals for electronic countermeasures and
various other uses in the industrial, medical and scientific markets.
-F-42-
<PAGE> 86
COMMUNICATIONS & POWER INDUSTRIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
Defense-related applications such as certain radar, electronic countermeasures
and military communications constitute a significant portion of the Company's
sales. The U.S. defense budget has been declining since the mid-1980s. Although
management believes that the Company has successfully responded to shrinking
defense budgets by refocusing its operations on commercial and other non-defense
applications, a significant further decline in U.S. or global military spending
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's sales and earnings.
Additionally, companies engaged in supplying defense-related equipment and
services to government agencies are subject to certain business risks, including
the ability of the U.S. government to suspend them from receiving new contracts
or to terminate existing contracts for the U.S. government's convenience or for
the default of the contractor. In addition, the U.S. government could terminate
contracts due to insufficient or terminated congressional appropriations. The
Company's contracts with foreign governmental defense agencies are subject to
similar limitations and risks as those encountered with U.S. government
contracts.
The Company believes that both its customer and industry base is well
diversified, however, changes in the marketplace of any of the above named
industries may significantly affect management's estimates and the Company's
performance.
The Company's customers are located throughout the United States, Canada, Europe
and Asia. No single customer accounted for more than 5% of the Company's sales
in either of the Successor or Predecessor periods and no accounts receivable
balance from any customer exceeded 5% of net accounts receivable. Generally, the
Company requires no collateral from its customers and the Company estimates an
allowance for doubtful accounts based on the credit worthiness of its customers
as well as general economic conditions. Consequently, an adverse change in those
factors could effect the Company's estimate of its bad debts.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company's foreign subsidiaries is the U.S.
dollar. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of subsidiaries outside of the
United States representing cash, inventory and accounts receivable or payable
are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at year-end.
Other accounts including property, plant and equipment are translated at
historical exchange rates, which for assets acquired in connection with the
Acquisition represent the rate as of August 11, 1995. Revenue and expense items
are translated at effective rates of exchange prevailing during each year,
except that depreciation is expensed at historical exchange rates.
The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge sales transactions
and firm commitments denominated in foreign currencies. Gains and losses on the
forward contracts are recognized based on changes in exchange rates, as are
offsetting foreign exchange gains and losses on the underlying transactions. The
Company does not engage in foreign currency speculation.
-F-43-
<PAGE> 87
COMMUNICATIONS & POWER INDUSTRIES
HOLDING CORPORATION
and subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
The aggregate transaction and exchange gains and losses was $463,000 loss and
$296,000 loss for Fiscal 1997 and Fiscal 1996, respectively. For the 7-week
period ending September 29, 1995, the aggregate transaction and exchange gains
and losses were not significant. For the 45-week period ending August 11, 1995,
the aggregate exchange gain or loss, net of the gain or loss from the foreign
exchange contracts, was accumulated at the corporate level within Varian and
allocated to the Predecessor based on its estimated proportionate share of
international sales, and is included in the corporate allocations described
later in these notes.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
accounts payable and long-term debt. The carrying value of the Company's cash
and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt obligations
approximate their fair values which, for debt, is based upon current rates
available to the Company for debt of the same maturities. Based on recent
trading activity, the Company's Senior Subordinated Notes have been trading at a
premium, or approximately 111%, as of December 1997.
Use of Estimates
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
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income".
SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive
income and its components in the financial statements. It requires
classification of other comprehensive income, as defined by the standard, by
their nature (e.g., unrealized gains or losses on securities) in a financial
statement, but does not require a specific format for that statement. The
accumulated balance of other comprehensive income is to be displayed separately
from retained earnings and additional paid-in-capital in the equity section of
the balance sheet. This statement is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997 and reclassification of
financial statements for earlier periods provided for comparative purposes is
required.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information". The statement requires that a public
business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its
reportable operating segments on the basis that is used internally for
evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to
segments. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997.

significant modifications in segment disclosures.

COSTS TO EXIT AN ACTIVITY OF THE PREDECESSOR
Prior to consummation of the Acquisition, management of the Predecessor had
begun to formulate plans to exit certain activities of the Predecessor, which
were finalized shortly after the Acquisition. These plans included two principal
costs: (a) the costs associated with the contractually required closing and
consolidation of the Company's Salt Lake City, Utah, operation into the
Company's San Carlos, California, facility completed during the first half of
Fiscal 1997, and (b) the costs associated with disposing of certain excess plant
capacity, which includes the consolidation, completed during the first quarter
of Fiscal 1997, of one of its leased manufacturing facilities into its Palo
Alto, California, facility.
In connection with the Acquisition, the Company accrued $1,259,000. In Fiscal
1996 and 1997, the Company had expended approximately $500,000 and $800,000,
respectively, related to closing, consolidation and relocation costs associated
with the Company's established exit plans.
SENIOR CREDIT AGREEMENT
The Senior Credit Agreement provides for two term loans in the aggregate amount
of $42.0 million, comprised of a $25.0 million "Term Loan A" tranche and a $17.0
million "Term Loan B" tranche, and a $35.0 million revolving credit facility
which includes a sub-facility for letters of credit. This sub-facility was
increased from $5.0 million to $7.5 million effective June 27, 1997.
Availability of advances under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a
borrowing base test. CPI's obligations under the Senior Credit Agreement are
secured by substantially all of its assets (including the issued and outstanding
capital stock of its direct and indirect subsidiaries) and are guaranteed by
Holding and all of CPI's subsidiaries. As of October 3, 1997, CPI had $6.4
million available under the Revolving Credit Facility of which $1.7 million was
available for issuance of letters of credit.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan A bear interest at
a rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate (approximately 5.76% as of October 3, 1997)
plus 2.5% per annum or the Base Rate (8.50% as of October 3, 1997) plus 1.0% per
annum and borrowings under Term Loan B bear interest at a rate equal to the
Eurodollar Rate plus 3.0% per annum or Base Rate plus 1.5% per annum, in each
case as selected by CPI. Applicable interest rates on Term Loan A and the
Revolving Credit Facility will be reduced after the first anniversary of the
consummation of the Acquisition by up to 0.5% per annum if CPI meets and
continues to meet certain financial tests. In addition to customary fronting and
other fees, CPI will pay a fee equal to 1.5% per annum on undrawn amounts of
letters of credit and a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum on unused facilities
under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Senior Credit Agreement also provides
for a prepayment premium in the event that it is voluntarily prepaid within two
years of the establishment of the Senior Credit Agreement unless such prepayment
is made with funds raised through an initial public offering of Holding's stock.

As of October 3, 1997, CPI had made payments of $6,000,000 against Term Loan A
and $350,000 against Term Loan B, of which $3,750,000 and $200,000 were paid
in Fiscal 1997 against Term Loan A and Term Loan B, respectively.
The Revolving Credit Facility matures on the date five years after the closing
of the Acquisition. CPI is required to make prepayments on the Senior Facility
with 75% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement), 75% of
the net proceeds of certain stock issuances and 100% of the net proceeds from
certain asset sales. Such prepayments will be applied to remaining principal
installments of the Term Loans allocated on a pro rata basis and following
repayment of the Term Loans, to reduce permanently the Revolving Credit
Facility.
In addition, CPI is subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants
customarily contained in agreements of this type, including, without limitation,
covenants that restrict, subject to specified exceptions: (i) incurrence of
additional indebtedness and other obligations; (ii) mergers or consolidations;
(iii) asset sales; (iv) changes of control and corporate structure; (v) granting
or incurrence of liens to secure any other indebtedness (including the Notes or
the notes for which the Senior Preferred Stock is exchangeable (the "Exchange
Notes")); (vi) prepayment or modification of the terms of other indebtedness
(including the Notes and the Exchange Notes); (vii) engaging in transactions
with affiliates; (viii) declaration or payment of dividends or distributions on
CPI's capital stock; (ix) capital expenditures; and (x) other acquisition and
investment activities. In addition, the Senior Credit Agreement requires that
CPI, on a consolidated basis, maintain certain specified financial covenants,
including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, minimum net worth and minimum
EBITDA. As of October 3, 1997, CPI was in compliance with all covenants except
with respect to a certain asset sale, for which a waiver to apply the net
proceeds to the Revolving Credit Facility rather than a pro rata share to the
Term Loans was obtained.

SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES
The $100 million principal amount of Senior Subordinated Notes mature in 2005
and bear interest at 12% per annum, payable semiannually. The payment of
principal of, premium and interest on, and other obligations evidenced by the
Notes is subordinated in right of payment, as set forth in the indenture
governing the Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Indenture"), to the prior payment
in full of all senior indebtedness (as defined), including indebtedness under
the Senior Credit Agreement, whether outstanding on the date of the Indenture or
thereafter incurred. CPI's payment obligations under the Notes are jointly and
severally guaranteed by Holding and CPI's subsidiaries.
The Notes are not redeemable at CPI's option prior to August 1, 2000.
Thereafter, the Notes are subject to redemption at the option of CPI, in whole
or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal
amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the
applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on
August 1 of the years indicated below:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to August 1, 1998, CPI may redeem up to 35%
of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally outstanding at a
redemption price of 112% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date, with the net proceeds
of one or more public offerings of common stock of Holding.
Upon the occurrence of a change of control, each holder of Notes will have the
right to require CPI to offer to repurchase all or any part of such holder's
Notes. The Senior Credit Agreement currently prohibits CPI from making such an
offer. In addition, the Indenture covering the Notes provides for various
restrictions, including restrictions on mergers or the sales of CPI's assets,
dividend payments, purchase, redemption, acquisition or retirement of equity
interests of CPI or its affiliates, principal payment on any indebtedness of CPI
or guarantors that is subordinated to the Notes, the incurrence of certain
indebtedness, or the making of any restricted investment, as defined.
SENIOR REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
CPI is authorized to issue up to 325,000 shares of nonvoting Series B 14% Senior
Redeemable Exchangeable Cumulative Preferred Stock due 2007 (the "Senior
Preferred Stock"), including shares of Senior Preferred Stock which may be used
to pay dividends on the Senior Preferred Stock if CPI so elects. Dividends on
the Senior Preferred Stock accrue at the rate of 14% per annum and are payable
quarterly, commencing on November 1, 1995. On or before August 1, 2000, CPI may,
at its option and subject to debt covenant restrictions, pay dividends in cash
or in shares of Senior

Preferred Stock having an aggregate liquidation preference equal to the amount

During the year ended October 3, 1997, CPI paid preferred dividends through the
issuance of 25,297 shares of its Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock.
The Senior Preferred Stock is not redeemable prior to August 1, 2000.
Thereafter, the Senior Preferred Stock will be redeemable at the option of CPI,
in whole or in part from time to time, initially at 107% of the liquidation
preference thereof and at decreasing prices thereafter to and including August
1, 2004 and thereafter at 100% of the liquidation preference thereof, together
in each case with accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon. In addition, on or
prior to August 1, 1998, CPI may, on one or more occasions, redeem any or all of
the shares of Senior Preferred Stock then outstanding at a redemption price
equal to 114% of the liquidation preference thereof plus accumulated and unpaid
dividends thereon, with the proceeds of one or more public offerings of
Holding's common stock. The Senior Preferred Stock is subject to mandatory
redemption in whole on August 1, 2007 at a price equal to the liquidation
preference thereof, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends.
In the event of a change of control, CPI will be required to make an offer to
each holder of shares of Senior Preferred Stock to repurchase all or a portion
of such holder's Senior Preferred Stock at a price equal to 101% of the
liquidation preference thereof, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. The
Senior Credit Agreement currently prohibits and the Indenture currently
restricts CPI from making such an offer. In addition, CPI will be required to
use the proceeds from certain asset sales to permanently reduce senior
indebtedness of CPI, to invest in certain related assets or businesses or to
offer to repurchase Senior Preferred Stock. Any such repurchases shall be
effected at an offer price equal to 100% of the liquidation preference of the
shares of Senior Preferred Stock purchased, plus accumulated and unpaid
dividends.
The Certificate of Designation covering the Senior Preferred Stock contains
certain provisions that, among other things, limit the ability of CPI to incur
indebtedness, pay dividends, incur liens, make loans or investments, transact
with affiliates and engage in mergers and consolidations.
CPI may, at its option, on any dividend payment date, exchange all, but not less
than all, of the outstanding shares of Senior Preferred Stock into 14% Junior
Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the "Exchange Notes"), so long as such exchange is
permitted by the Senior Credit Agreement and the Indenture, in an aggregate
principal amount not to exceed the aggregate liquidation preference, plus
accumulated and unpaid dividends on the date of exchange. The Exchange Notes
will be general unsecured obligations of CPI and will be subordinated to all
existing and future senior indebtedness of CPI, including indebtedness under the
Senior Credit Agreement and the Indenture. Except for terms relating to these
subordination provisions, payment of interest on a quarterly basis, the option
to issue additional Exchange Notes on or prior to August 1, 2000 in lieu of
paying cash interest, optional redemption and the date on which repayment is
mandatory (all of which terms would be similar to the terms of Senior Preferred
Stock), the terms of the Exchange Notes will be generally identical to the
Notes.

JUNIOR PREFERRED STOCK
CPI is authorized to issue up to 525,000 shares of nonvoting Series A 14% Junior
Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Junior Preferred Stock") including shares of
Junior Preferred Stock which may be used to pay dividends on the Junior
Preferred Stock if CPI elects to pay dividends in shares of Junior Preferred
Stock. The aggregate liquidation preference of the Junior Preferred Stock issued
in connection with the consummation of the Acquisition was $10.0 million.
Dividends on the Junior Preferred Stock accrue at the rate of 14% per annum and
are payable quarterly, commencing on November 1, 1995. On or before the
redemption of the Senior Preferred Stock or the exchange of Senior Preferred
Stock into Exchange Notes, CPI is required to pay dividends on the Junior
Preferred Stock in additional fully paid and non-assessable shares of Junior
Preferred Stock having an aggregate liquidation preference equal to the amount
of such dividends. After such redemption or exchange, CPI may, at its option and
subject to debt and senior preferred stock covenant restrictions, pay dividends
on the Junior Preferred Stock in cash or in additional fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Junior Preferred Stock having an aggregate liquidation
preference equal to the amount of such dividends.
During the year ended October 3, 1997, CPI paid preferred dividends through the
issuance of 16,865 shares of its Junior Preferred Stock.
The Junior Preferred Stock ranks junior in right of payment to all liabilities
of CPI and to any preferred stock, including Senior Preferred Stock, that is
senior in right of payment to the Junior Preferred Stock and ranks senior in
right of payment to any additional preferred stock which does not expressly
provide that it ranks senior to or on a parity with the Junior Preferred Stock
and CPI's common stock.
LEASE COMMITMENTS
At October 3, 1997, the Company was committed to minimum rentals under
noncancellable operating lease agreements primarily for land and facility space.
The Company also leases certain computer equipment under capital leases that
expire in 2002. Payments under these capital leases are deferred until 1998,
with payments following over the next 48 months. As collateral for these capital
leases, the Company has issued a $1.0M letter of credit in favor of the lender.
A summary of future minimum lease payments (in thousands) follows:

7-week period ended September 29, 1995 and the Predecessor 45-week period ended
August 11, 1995, respectively.
CONTINGENCIES
The amount of outstanding letters of credit provided for under the Company's
Senior Credit Agreement was approximately $5.8 million as of October 3, 1997.
These outstanding obligations are comprised of the following: $3.4 million to
one foreign customer related to an advance payment guarantee, $1.0 million to a
lender related to a capital lease arrangement and $1.4 million to various other
beneficiaries related primarily to insurance needs and performance bond
guarantees.
Varian is currently a defendant in certain legal actions relating to the
Predecessor and could incur an uninsured liability in one or more of them. The
agreement for the sale of the Predecessor provides for Varian's retention of
liability arising out of the above referenced litigation. Accordingly, in the
opinion of management, the outcome of that litigation will not have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows
of the Company.
Varian has also been named by the Environmental Protection Agency or third
parties as a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, at sites to which
Varian (including in some cases the Predecessor) is alleged to have shipped
manufacturing waste for disposal. Varian is also involved in various stages of
environmental investigation and/or remediation under the direction of, or in
consultation with, local and/or state agencies at certain facilities of the
Company. Uncertainty as to (a) the extent to which Varian caused, if at all, the
conditions being investigated; (b) the extent of environmental
-F-52-

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
contamination and risks; (c) the applicability of changing and complex
environmental laws; (d) the number and financial viability of other potentially
responsible parties; (e) the stage of the investigation and/or remediation; (f)
the unpredictability of investigation and/or remediation costs (including as to
when they will be incurred); (g) applicable clean-up standards; (h) the
remediation (if any) which will ultimately be required; and (i) available
technology make it difficult to assess the likelihood and scope of further
investigation or remediation activities or to estimate the future costs of such
activities if undertaken.
The agreement for the sale of the Predecessor provides for Varian's retention of
liability arising out of investigative and remedial action and environmental
claims for conditions existing as of the closing date at the above-referenced
facilities. Accordingly, based on information currently available, management
believes that the costs of these matters are not likely to have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows
of CPI.
From time to time, the Company may be subject to other claims that arise in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, all such matters
involve amounts which would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position if unfavorably resolved. There are currently no
such matters.
INDUSTRY SEGMENTS AND SALES
The Company operates in a single business segment. The Company covers and is
engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of a broad line of electron
devices used in broadcasting, communications, and other commercial and military
applications.
CPI's North American operations (in the United States and Canada) are
responsible for the design and development of all products as well as
manufacturing and shipping to meet worldwide customer commitments. CPI's
operations outside of North America consist of sales offices in certain foreign
countries. Accordingly, for financial statement purposes, it is not meaningful
to segregate operating profits for the foreign operations. Identifiable assets
outside of North America are less than 10% of total consolidated assets.
Information about CPI's sales to geographical regions are presented in the table
below.

Foreign tax credit carryforward of $1,184,000 in 1996 was utilized during the

considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or
-F-56-
<PAGE> 100

all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of
deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income.
Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future
taxable income, management now believes it is more likely than not the Company
will realize the benefits of such deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the
valuation allowance established during the prior years was eliminated during
1997.

RETIREMENT AND PROFIT SHARING PLANS
Effective August 12, 1995, CPI adopted a qualified 401(k) plan covering
substantially all its domestic and Canadian employees. CPI's major obligation is
to contribute an amount based on a percentage of each participant's base pay.
CPI also has a Supplemental Retirement Plan covering certain executive officers.
Total contributions to these plans by the Company was $2.5 million for Fiscal
1997, $2.6 million for Fiscal 1996 and $247,000 for the 7-week period ended
September 29, 1995. Total contributions of the Predecessor for all plans
amounted to $4.3 million for the 45-week period ended August 11, 1995.
CPI's bonus program provides incentive bonuses to senior management if certain
performance goals are achieved and to employees if these goals are exceeded.
Such performance goals are measured based upon earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, return on sales and asset utilization.

</TABLE>
Sales and purchases of the Predecessor have been recorded at cost to the
originating business unit, so that no profit margin is recognized on transfer.
In connection with the Acquisition, CPI entered into various agreements with
Varian that provide for various services to be performed by or for Varian or for
products to be purchased from or provided to Varian. A summary of the
significant agreements are as follows:
Transitional Services Agreement. Under the Transitional Services Agreement,
Varian provided certain services to CPI in order to facilitate the transition of
CPI to a stand-alone operation. In addition, in connection with the separation
and creation of independent utilities and systems at CPI's facilities, the
Transitional Services Agreement required Varian to pay or reimburse CPI (in some
cases), subject to certain limitations. As of October 3, 1997, all obligations
under this agreement were fulfilled and any on-going arrangements between the
companies have been negotiated at an arm's-length basis.
Supply Agreements. CPI and Varian entered into four product supply agreements
which contain certain customary provisions pertaining to, among other things,
pricing, shipment, delivery, acceptance and payment of certain products. Such
terms will vary to a certain degree among the Supply Agreements in order to
reflect differences in the types of products subject to the particular Supply
Agreement and the arrangements between the parties with respect to such
products. These agreements cover periods ranging from one to five years from the
date of the Acquisition and, in the case of certain "Key Components," Varian has
the right to extend the term of the agreement for an additional five years. The
supply agreements generally impose upon CPI and Varian certain minimum purchase
quantities and generally restrict CPI's ability to market certain specific
products to third parties. Management believes that the terms of these supply
agreements are no less favorable to CPI than that which would be obtained from
independent third parties for the purchase or supply of similar products.
Trademark License Agreement Generally, under the terms of the Trademark License
Agreement, CPI is licensed to use Varian trademarks on its products for a period
of three years (although during the third year Varian trademarks may only be
used in connection with CPI's own trademarks). After the third year, CPI may not
use any Varian trademarks alone, but for an additional seven years may identify
its products as "formerly made by Varian". At the expiration of the 10-year
period, CPI will not be permitted to utilize any Varian trademarks.
-F-58-
<PAGE> 102
COMMUNICATIONS & POWER INDUSTRIES
HOLDING CORPORATION
and subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
CPI and Varian have also entered into certain other agreements covering access
to certain of CPI's facilities as well as subleased and shared facilities.
CORPORATE ALLOCATIONS
Operating earnings of the Predecessor include allocations of costs accumulated
at the corporate level within Varian. Where it was possible to specifically
identify corporate amounts with the activities of the Predecessor, these amounts
have been charged or credited directly to the Predecessor without allocation or
apportionment. Costs of a wholly corporate nature (i.e. those that are
considered to relate purely to the support of Varian's centralized corporate
structure) were not allocated. Shared or common costs have been allocated to the
Predecessor on the basis which is considered to most fairly and reasonably
reflect the utilization of the services provided to, or benefit obtained by, the
Predecessor. Typical measures and activity indicators used for apportionment
purposes include sales revenues, headcount and facility area measurements.
Management believes that the cost allocations are reasonable and reflect the
costs incurred to support the operations of the Predecessor. Additionally,
management believes that the costs for such services would have been less on a
stand-alone basis, although determination as to specific amounts is not
practicable.
Allocations of corporate expenses included in the consolidated statements of
operations for the 45-week period ended August 11, 1995 were $11.2 million.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Holding and CPI have entered into an agreement to pay $362,000, plus
out-of-pocket expenses, annually to an advisor group of Holding's majority
shareholder. Certain individuals of the investor's advisor group are members of
Holding's and CPI's respective Boards of Directors. In addition, on August 11,
1995, CPI paid this advisor group a fee of $3,330,000 for services rendered in
connection with the Acquisition.
In connection with Holding's 1995 Management Equity Plan, certain executive
officers of CPI and Holding elected to pay a portion of the purchase price for
their Management Shares by delivery of a secured promissory note to Holding. The
aggregate principle amount of such Management Notes was $975,356 as of October
3, 1997. Of this amount, $800,000 is secured by a pledge of a portion (from 50%
to 75%) of the Management Shares issued to each executive officer and is
guaranteed by Varian. The balance of $175,356 is secured by a pledge of
approximately 91% of the Management Shares issued, but is not guaranteed by
Varian. Outstanding principal under each type of Management Note bears interest
at an annually adjustable rate equal to the "Applicable Federal Rate" in effect
under Internal Revenue Code Section 1274(d) for obligations of a term equal to
the then-remaining term of such note. Recourse by Holding under both types of
Management Notes is limited to the Management Shares pledged to secure the
applicable note.

Holding and its subsidiaries.
BUSINESS EQUITY
Business equity is comprised of intercompany balances arising in the ordinary
course of business between the Predecessor and other Varian entities, together
with various adjustments resulting from the carve-out of the Predecessor as
