NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2000 and
condensed consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the three
month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 2000, and the condensed consolidated
statement of stockholders' equity for the three months ended June 30, 2000 have
been prepared by the management of ViaSat, Inc., and have not been audited.
These financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for
all periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended March 31,
2000 included in our 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim operating results
are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year.

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

NOTE 2 - SECONDARY PUBLIC STOCK OFFERING AND ACQUISITION OF SATELLITE NETWORKS
         BUSINESS

On April 24, 2000, we completed a secondary public stock offering for the sale
of 5,224,150 shares of common stock for net proceeds of approximately $73.0
million.

On April, 25, 2000, we completed the acquisition of the satellite networks
business (the "Satellite Networks Business") of Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. for an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $59.4 million in cash (including
post-closing adjustments), plus warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common
stock valued at $1.2 million.

The Satellite Networks Business is a significant DAMA-based VSAT supplier with
additional product lines addressing the non-DAMA VSAT market, the gateway
market, the asset tracking and meter reading market, and the telemetry and
antenna systems market. In addition, the Satellite Networks Business brings us a
larger and more experienced commercial sales force, a significant customer base,
additional research and development, and engineering capabilities. We have moved
the headquarters of our commercial business to the Satellite Networks Business
facilities in Norcross, Georgia.

The acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting as
defined in APB Opinion No. 16. The purchase price of the acquisition has been
allocated to the estimated fair value of the tangible and intangible assets
acquired and liabilities assumed of the Satellite Networks Business. The
purchase price allocation for certain assets is preliminary and further
refinements are likely to be made on the completion of final valuation studies.
In connection with this acquisition, a charge of $2.2 million for acquired in
process research and development was included in our first quarter results. This
charge represented the fair value of certain acquired research and development
projects that were determined to have not reached technological feasibility and
have no alternative future use. The estimated fair value of assets acquired and
liabilities assumed, which is subject to further refinement, is as follows:

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives
effect to the acquisition as of April 1, 1999. Because the Satellite Networks
Business had been operated as division of Scientific-Atlanta, its results may
not reflect those that would have resulted had it operated as an independent
entity or as a part of ViaSat. The pro forma information for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 2000 does not reflect the effects of
anticipated post-acquisition cost savings or restructuring efficiencies.

The pro forma condensed combined financial information combines information from
ViaSat's unaudited income statement for the three months ended June 30, 1999
with the Satellite Networks Business' unaudited income statement for the three
months ended June 30, 1999.

The pro forma condensed combined financial information combines information from
ViaSat's unaudited income statement for the three months ended June 30, 2000

NOTE 3 - REVENUE RECOGNITION

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

Contract costs with the U. S. Government and its prime contractors, including
indirect costs, are subject to audit and negotiations with Government
representatives. These audits have been completed and agreed upon through fiscal
year 1996. Contract revenues and accounts receivable are stated at amounts which
are expected to be realized upon final settlement.

NOTE 4 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Common stock equivalents of 346,094 and 1,292,660 shares for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively, were used to calculate diluted
earnings per share. Antidilutive shares excluded from the calculation were
1,128,346 and 301,648 shares for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 2000,
respectively. Common stock equivalents are primarily comprised of options
granted under our stock option plan.

NOTE 6 - CONTINGENCIES

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

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

NOTE 7 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

We are organized primarily based on the basis of products with commercial and
defense communication applications, represented by ViaSat Satellite Networks
which operates primarily in the commercial market and Electronic Systems Group
which operates primarily in the defense market.

The following table summarizes revenues and operating profits by operating
segment for the three month period ended June 30, 2000. The acquisition of the
Satellite Networks Business resulted in a second operating segment. Certain
corporate general and administrative costs, amortization of intangible assets
and the charge of acquired in-process research and development are not allocated
to either segment and accordingly, are shown as reconciling items from segment
operating profit and consolidated operating profit.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000

    Revenues. Revenues increased 115% from $17.0 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 to $36.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000.
This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of the Satellite Networks
Business as well as improvements in revenues generated by commercial sales and
other development programs including the multifunction information distribution
system (MIDS). These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenues
derived from completion of UHF modem production contracts.

    Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 72.6% from $7.3 million (43.0% of
revenues) for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $12.6 million (34.5% of
revenues) for the three months ended June 30, 2000. This increase was primarily
due to higher volumes related to the acquisition of the Satellite Networks
Business. The decrease as a percentage of revenues resulted from lower volumes
of high margin defense products and increased volumes of lower margin
development projects offset in part by improvements in the margins on commercial
products.

    Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased 95.5% from $2.9 million (17.3% of
revenues) for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $5.8 million (15.7% of
revenues) for the three months ended June 30, 2000. The increase was primarily
due to the additional costs from the Satellite Networks Business, including
transition costs related to the acquisition. The decrease in expenses as a
percentage of revenues reflects efficiencies from improved commercial sales
volumes. SG&A expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and expenses for
business development, marketing and sales, bid and proposal, finance, contract
administration and general management. Certain of these expenses are difficult
to predict and vary based on specific government and commercial sales
opportunities.

    Independent Research and Development. Independent research and development
expenses increased 4.0% from $1.6 million (9.3% of revenues) for the three
months ended June 30, 1999, to $1.7 million (4.5% of revenues) for the three
months ended June 30, 2000. This decrease as a percentage of sales resulted from
a higher level of funded development programs and by completion of features
under development in the prior fiscal period.

    Acquired In-process Research and Development. The acquisition of the
Satellite Networks Business was accounted for by the purchase method of
accounting. In connection with this acquisition, a charge of $2.2 million for
purchased in process research and development was included in our first quarter
results. This charge represented the fair value of certain acquired research and
development projects that were determined to have not reached technological
feasibility.

    Amortization of Intangible Assets. Intangible assets are being amortized
over useful lives ranging from three to nine years. For the three months ended
June 30, 2000, amortization expense was $550,000 for the period from April 25,
2000 to the end of the quarter.

    Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased from $47,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 to $32,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000.
Interest expense relates to loans for the purchase of capital equipment, which
are generally three year variable rate term loans, and to short-term borrowings
under our line of credit to cover working capital requirements. Total
outstanding equipment loans were $2.1 million at June 30, 1999, and $1.0 million
at June 30, 2000. There were no outstanding borrowings under our line of credit
as of June 30, 1999 or 2000.

    Interest Income. Interest income increased from $256,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 to $507,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000.
This increase resulted from increased invested balances. Interest income relates
largely to interest earned on short-term deposits of cash.


                                       12
<PAGE>   13
    Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rate decreased from
39.8% for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to 34.0% for the three months
ended June 30, 2000. The difference relates primarily to increases in research
and development tax credits.

BACKLOG

At June 30, 2000 we had firm backlog of $165.0 million of which $136.7 million
was funded. The firm backlog of $165.0 million does not include contract options
of $54.3 million. Of the $165.0 million in firm backlog, approximately $74.1
million is expected to be delivered in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2001,
and the balance is expected to be delivered in the fiscal year ending March 31,
2002 and thereafter. We had firm backlog of $88.2 million, of which $58.6
million was funded, not including options of $53.3 million, at March 31, 2000.
We include in our backlog only those orders for which we have accepted purchase
orders. However, backlog is not necessarily indicative of future sales. A
majority of our government backlog scheduled for delivery can be terminated at
the convenience of the government since orders are often made substantially in
advance of delivery, and our contracts typically provide that orders may be
terminated with limited or no penalties. In addition, purchase orders may set
forth product specifications that would require us to complete additional
product development. A failure to develop products meeting such specifications
could lead to a termination of the related purchase order.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have financed our operations to date primarily with cash flows from
operations, bank line of credit financing, equity financing and loans for the
purchase of capital equipment. Cash used in operating activities for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 was $3.8 million and cash used in operating
activities for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $3.4 million. Increases
in accounts receivable and inventories due to the new business were offset by
increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 1999
was $2.5 million and cash used in investing activities for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 was $60.3 million. During the three months ended June 30,
2000, we acquired the Satellite Networks business for cash of $59.4 million plus
warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock valued at $1.2 million. In
addition. we acquired $1.0 million in equipment in the three months ended June
30, 2000 compared to $500,000 of equipment during the three months ended June
30, 1999, excluding the acquisition of the Satellite Networks Business.

Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was
$95,000 and cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 was $73.6 million. This increase was primarily the result of
completing a secondary public stock offering for $73.0 million.

At June 30, 2000, we had $29.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments, $78.1 million in working capital and $984,000 in equipment
financing. We had no outstanding borrowings under our line of credit at June 30,
2000.


                                       13
<PAGE>   14
We received a commitment from Union Bank of California and Washington Mutual
Bank to provide a total credit facility of $50 million for the acquisition of
the Satellite Networks Business. This facility also provided for a secured
revolving credit facility of $25 million for general working capital. We did not
elect to use the financing for the acquisition and are now in the process of
negotiating the terms of the $25 million revolving line of credit facility.

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