Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

     ViaSat was incorporated in 1986 and completed its initial public offering in 1996. We have achieved 15 consecutive years of revenue growth and 14 consecutive years of profitability. Historically, our revenues have been primarily generated from contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense. However, on April 25, 2000 we acquired the Satellite Networks Business which has substantially increased our revenue and helped accelerate the development of our commercial business. Our commercial business accounted for approximately 62% of revenues in fiscal year 2001 compared to 24% of revenues in fiscal year 2000.

     To date, our ability to grow and maintain our revenues has depended on obtaining additional sizable contract awards. It is difficult to predict the probability and timing of obtaining these awards. Generally, revenues are recognized as services are performed using the percentage of completion method, measured primarily by costs incurred to date compared with total estimated costs at completion or based on the number of units delivered. We provide for anticipated losses on contracts by charges to income during the period in which they are first identified.

     Our products and services are provided primarily through three types of contracts: fixed-price, time-and-materials and cost-reimbursement contracts. Historically, approximately 80.3% for fiscal year 1999, 79.1% for fiscal year 2000, and 94.0% for fiscal year 2001, of our revenues were derived from fixed-price contracts which require us to provide products and services under a contract at a stipulated price. Our proportion of fixed-price contracts has continued to increase as our commercial business has grown and as government customers are increasingly relying on fixed-price awards. The remainder of our annual revenue was derived from cost-reimbursement contracts, under which we are reimbursed for all actual costs incurred in performing the contract to the extent that such costs are within the contract ceiling and allowable under the terms of the contract, plus a fee or profit, and from time-and-materials contracts which reimburse us for the number of labor hours expended at an established hourly rate negotiated in the contract, plus the cost of materials utilized in providing such products or services.

     Historically, a significant portion of our revenues has been generated from funded research and development contracts. The research and development efforts are conducted in direct response to the specific requirements of a customer’s order and, accordingly, expenditures related to such efforts are included in cost of sales when incurred and the related funding (which includes a profit component) is included in revenues. Revenues for our funded research and development were approximately $40.5 million or 56.6% of our total revenues during fiscal year 1999, $35.0 million or 46.2% of our total revenues during fiscal year 2000 and $79.0 million or 48.1% of our total revenues during fiscal year 2001.

     We invest in independent research and development, which is not directly funded by a third party. We expense independent research and development costs as they are incurred. Independent research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses, supplies and prototype materials related to research and development programs. Independent research and development expenses were approximately 10.7% of revenues during fiscal year 1999, 10.0% of revenues during fiscal year 2000, and 3.8% of revenues during fiscal year 2001. As a government contractor, we are able to recover a portion of our independent research and development expenses pursuant to our government contracts.

Fiscal Year 2001 Compared to Fiscal Year 2000

     Revenues. Revenues increased 116.6% from $75.9 million for fiscal year 2000 to $164.4 million for fiscal year 2001. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of the Satellite Networks Business as well as improvements in revenues generated by commercial broadband and other development programs including the multifunction information distribution system (MIDS). These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenues resulting from completion of various production contracts.

     Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 69.7% from $30.3 million (40.0% of revenues) for fiscal year 2000 to $51.5 million (31.3% of revenues) for fiscal year 2001. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to higher volumes related to the acquisition of the Satellite Networks Business and broadband development programs. The decrease as a percentage of revenues resulted from lower volumes of various high margin products and increased volumes of lower margin development projects.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 135.0% from $11.3 million (14.9% of revenues) for fiscal year 2000 to $26.5 million (16.1% of revenues) for fiscal year 2001. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to the additional costs from the Satellite Networks Business, transition costs related to the acquisition, marketing of commercial products, increased business development, and additional administrative staffing to support our growth. SG&A expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and expenses for business development, marketing and sales, bid and proposal, finance, contract administration and general management. Some SG&A expenses are difficult to predict and vary based on specific government and commercial sales opportunities.

     Independent Research and Development. Independent research and development (IR&D) expenses decreased 18.7% from $7.6 million (10.0% of revenues) for fiscal year 2000 to $6.2 million (3.8% of revenues) for fiscal year 2001. This decrease resulted from the increased awards of funded development contracts related to both our defense and commercial products.

     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 $2.3 million for purchased in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) was included in our results.

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

     The Satellite Networks Business is developing a next generation mobile subscriber communicator. This next generation product contains a new chipset, new connectors, added functionality, bigger programming space and a

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

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

     Amortization of Intangible Assets. The acquisition of the Satellite Networks Business was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. Intangible assets of $25.0 million and goodwill of $4.5 million are being amortized in connection with this acquisition. The intangible assets are being amortized over useful lives ranging from three to nine years. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 amortization expense was $3.8 million for the period from April 25, 2000 to March 31, 2000.

     Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased from $157,000 for fiscal year 2000 to $78,000 for fiscal year 2001. Interest expense relates to loans for the purchase of capital equipment, which are generally three year variable-rate term loans. Total outstanding equipment loans were $1.2 million at March 31, 2000 and $336,000 at March 31, 2001.

     Interest Income. Interest income increased from $1.1 million for fiscal year 2000 to $1.7 million for fiscal year 2001. This increase resulted from higher average invested cash balances and higher yields.

     Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rate decreased from 36% for fiscal year 2000 to 25% for fiscal year 2001. The decrease relates primarily to a increases in estimates of prior period research and development tax credits.

Fiscal Year 2000 Compared to Fiscal Year 1999

     Revenues. Revenues increased 6.1% from $71.5 million for fiscal year 1999 to $75.9 million for fiscal year 2000. This was primarily due to an increase in our commercial revenues as a result of our Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) and Star Cruises Management Ltd. commercial broadband contracts, offset in part by lower revenues from volumes of selected UHF defense products.

     Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 11.0% from $27.3 million (38.2% of revenues) for fiscal year 1999 to $30.3 million (40.0% of revenues) for fiscal year 2000. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to an improvement in our commercial margins as a result of greater commercial volumes and increased operating efficiencies in the commercial business.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses increased 11.7% from $10.1 million (14.1% of revenues) for fiscal year 1999 to $11.3 million (14.9% of revenues) for fiscal year 2000. The increase in SG&A expenses reflects increased expenditures relating to the marketing of commercial products, increased business development and bid and proposal expenses for defense programs, and additional administrative staffing.

     Independent Research and Development. IR&D expenses remained at $7.6 million for both fiscal years but decreased as a percentage of revenues (10.7% of revenues for fiscal 1999 and 10.0% for fiscal 2000.) The decrease as a percentage of revenues resulted in part from the award of funded development contracts related to our commercial products, and from the overall increase in sales.

     Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased from $250,000 for fiscal year 1999 to $157,000 for fiscal year 2000. Interest expense relates to loans for the purchase of capital equipment, which are generally three year variable-rate term loans. Total outstanding equipment loans were $2.5 million at March 31, 1999 and $1.2 million at March 31, 2000.

     Interest Income. Interest income increased from $834,000 for fiscal year 1999 to $1.1 million for fiscal year 2000. This increase resulted from higher average invested cash balances and higher yields, offset in part by a decrease in interest income from overdue government receivables from $102,000 for fiscal year 1999 to $45,000 for fiscal year 2000.

     Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rate decreased from 38% for fiscal year 1999 to 36% for fiscal year 2000. The decrease relates primarily to greater than anticipated research and development tax credits in prior years.

Backlog

     As of March 31, 2001, we had firm backlog of $236.2 million, of which $212.3 million was funded. This compares to firm backlog of $88.2 million at March 31, 2000, of which $58.6 million was funded, not including options of $53.3 million. Of the $236.2 million in firm backlog at March 31, 2001, approximately $93.2 million is expected to be delivered in fiscal year 2002, approximately $46.9 million is expected to be delivered in fiscal year 2003 and the balance is expected to be delivered in fiscal year 2004 and thereafter. The increase in backlog results from growth in total awards for both commercial and defense products from $119.3 million for fiscal year 2000 to $238.8 million for fiscal year 2001. We include in our backlog only those orders for which we have accepted purchase orders. Our firm backlog does not include contract options of $55.4 million. These options include $43.8 million of Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts for our UHF DAMA satellite communications products and $11.6 million of IDIQ contracts for our other products.

     Backlog is not necessarily indicative of future sales. A majority of our contracts can be terminated at the convenience of the customer since orders are often made substantially in advance of delivery, and our contracts typically provide that orders may be terminated with limited or no penalties. In addition, purchase orders may present product specifications that would require us to complete additional product development. A failure to develop products meeting such specifications could lead to a termination of the related purchase order.

     The backlog amounts as presented are comprised of funded and unfunded components. Funded backlog represents the sum of contract amounts for which funds have been specifically obligated by customers to contracts. Unfunded backlog represents future amounts that customers may obligate over the specified contract performance periods. Our customers allocate funds for expenditures on long-term contracts on a periodic basis. Our ability to realize revenues from contracts in backlog is dependent upon adequate funding for such contracts. Although funding of our 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,“Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, and for hedging activities. In June 1999 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 137 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No.133,” which delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company is required to and will adopt SFAS No. 133 in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The Company is still

evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 133 and therefore cannot estimate the impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.

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 in fiscal year 2001 was $9.9 million as compared to cash provided by operating activities in fiscal year 2000 of $3.7 million. The increase in cash used in operating activities for fiscal year 2001 compared to the prior year was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable and inventory due to the new business, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable.

     Cash used in investing activities in fiscal year 2001 was $65.3 million as compared to cash provided by investing activities in 2000 of $11.0 million. During fiscal year 2001, we acquired the Satellite Networks Business for cash of $57.9 million. In addition, we acquired $7.5 million in equipment in fiscal 2001 compared to $4.8 million of equipment in fiscal 2000, excluding the acquisition of the Satellite Networks Business.

     Cash provided by financing activities in fiscal year 2001 was $74.4 million as compared to cash used in financing activities in 2000 of $25,000. This increase was primarily the result of completing a secondary public stock offering for $73.2 million.

     At March 31, 2000 we had $19.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, $38.2 million in working capital and $1.2 million in long-term debt which consisted of equipment financing. At March 31, 2001, we had $17.7 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, $84.3 million in working capital and $336,000 in equipment financing. We had no outstanding borrowings under our line of credit at March 31, 2001.

     On June 21, 2001 we executed a one year Revolving/Term Loan Agreement of $25 million from Union Bank of California, N.A. and Washington Mutual Bank, with Union Bank of California, N.A., as Administrative Agent.

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

     Our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including the expansion of our research and development and marketing efforts and the nature and timing of orders. Additionally, we will continue to evaluate possible acquisitions of, or investments in complementary businesses, products and technologies which may require the use of cash. We believe that our current cash balances and net cash expected to be provided by operating activities will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, we may sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain credit facilities to further enhance our liquidity position. The sale of additional securities could result in additional dilution of our stockholders. We invest our cash in excess of current operating requirements in short-term, interest-bearing, investment-grade securities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — The Company and a Summary of Its Significant Accounting Policies

     The Company

          ViaSat, Inc. (the “Company”) designs, produces and markets advanced broadband digital satellite communications and other wireless networking and signal processing equipment.

     Principles of Consolidation

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

     Management Estimates and Assumptions

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

     Cash Equivalents

          Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less.

     Short-term Investments

          At March 31, 2000 and 2001, the Company held investments in investment grade debt securities with various maturities. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in debt securities at the time of purchase and has designated all of its investments as held to maturity. The Company’s investments in these securities as of March 31, 2000 and 2001 totaled $16,769,000 and $11,964,000, respectively. The Company has included $16,648,000 and $11,964,000 of these securities in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively, as they have original maturities of less than 90 days. The remaining $121,000 as of March 31, 2000 has been classified as short-term investments.

     Revenue Recognition

          The majority of the Company’s revenues are derived from services performed under a variety of contracts including cost-plus-fixed fee, fixed-price, and time and materials contracts. Revenues from the United States Department of Defense and its prime contractors amounted to $65,478,000, $53,859,000 and $62,410,000 for the years ended March 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. Revenues from commercial customers amounted to $3,836,000, $18,409,000 and $101,942,364 for the years ended March 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001 respectively. The Company’s five largest contracts (by revenues) generated approximately 61%, 35% and 36% of the Company’s total revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively.

          Generally, revenues are recognized as services are performed using the percentage of completion method, measured primarily by costs incurred to date compared with total estimated costs at completion or based on the number of units delivered. The Company provides for anticipated losses on contracts by a charge to income during the period in which they are first identified.

 

F-6


Table of Contents

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

     Unbilled Accounts Receivable

          Unbilled receivables consist of costs and fees earned and billable on contract completion or other specified events. The majority of unbilled receivables is expected to be collected within one year.

     Concentration of Risk

          Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term investments, and trade accounts receivable which are generally not collateralized. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash equivalents and short-term investments with high credit quality financial institutions and investing in high quality short-term debt instruments. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables are generally limited because the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations. The Company also maintains reserves for potential credit losses, which it considers adequate to cover such losses. See Note 11 related to ORBCOMM.

          The Company relies on a limited number of contract manufacturers to produce its products.

     Inventory

          Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined by the first-in, first-out method.

     Independent research and development

          Independent research and development, which is not directly funded by a third party, is expensed as incurred. Independent research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses, supplies and prototype materials related to research and development programs.

     Software development

          Software development costs incurred from the time technological feasibility is reached until the product is available for general release to customers are capitalized and reported at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Through March 31, 2001, $3.2 million has been incurred and no amounts have been amortized to date, on software development products subsequent to reaching technological feasibility. Once the product is available for general release, the software development costs will be amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives.

     Property and Equipment

          Equipment, computers, and furniture and fixtures are recorded at cost, and depreciated over estimated useful lives of three to seven years using the straight-line method. Additions to property and equipment together with major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals and betterments are charged to expense. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized.

     Intangible Assets and Goodwill

          Intangible assets and goodwill are recorded at cost and amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which currently range from three to nine years.

     Long-lived Assets

          The Company assesses potential impairments to its long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances have made recovery of the asset’s carrying value unlikely.

 

F-7


Table of Contents

An impairment loss would be recognized when the sum of the expected future undiscounted net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset and would be recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and a charge to results of operations. No such impairment losses have been identified by the Company.

     Warranty Reserves

          The Company provides limited warranties on certain of its products for periods of up to three years. The Company records warranty reserves when products are shipped based upon an estimate of total warranty costs, with amounts expected to be incurred within twelve months classified as a current liability.

     Income Taxes

          Current income tax expense is the amount of income taxes expected to be payable for the current year. A deferred income tax asset or liability is established for the expected future tax consequences resulting from differences in the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax credit and loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred income tax expense (benefit) is the net change during the year in the deferred income tax asset or liability.

     Stock Split

          On July 28, 2000 the Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock split of our common stock in the form of a stock dividend. The stock dividend was distributed at the close of business on August 31, 2000 to stockholders of record on August 21, 2000. All share and per share information in the financial statements has been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis.

     Stock Based Compensation

          The Company measures compensation expense for its stock-based employee compensation plans using the intrinsic value method and provides pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value method had been applied in measuring compensation expense.

     Earnings Per Share

          Basic earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents during the period. Common stock equivalents include options granted under the Company’s stock option plans and warrants which are included in the earnings per share calculations using the treasury stock method and common shares expected to be issued under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan.

     Foreign Currency

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

     Fair Value of Financial Instruments

          At March 31, 2001, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade receivables, accounts payable and notes payable, approximated their fair values due to their short-term maturities.

 

F-8


Table of Contents

     Segment Reporting

          Operating segments are determined consistent with the way that management organizes and evaluates financial information internally for making operating decisions and assessing performance. We are organized primarily on the basis of products with commercial and defense communication applications, represented by ViaSat Satellite Networks which operates primarily in the commercial market and Communication Systems Group which operates primarily in the defense market. As areas of our business grow, such as broadband systems, additional operating segments may be reported in the future.

     Recent Accounting Pronouncements

          In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, and for hedging activities. In June 1999 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 137 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133,” which delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company is required to and will adopt SFAS No. 133 in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The Company is still evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 133 and therefore cannot estimate the impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.

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 $73.2 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 $57.9 million in cash (which reflects post-closing adjustments to the purchase price in accordance with the asset purchase agreement), plus warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock valued at $1.2 million. The warrants are currently vested and will expire April 25, 2002. The warrants are exercisable in increments of 25,000 shares at prices of $26.25, $31.25, $36.25 and $41.25 per share.

          The Satellite Networks Business is a DAMA-based VSAT supplier with additional product lines addressing the non-DAMA VSAT market, the gateway market and the telemetry and antenna systems market.

          The acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting as defined in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16, and accordingly, the operating results of the Satellite Networks Business have been included in the Company’s financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purchase price of the acquisition has been allocated to the 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 $2.3 million for acquired in process research and development is included in our results, which represents 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:

           
Accounts receivable
  $ 17,152,000  
Inventory
    4,353,000  
Property, plant and equipment
    9,540,000  
Intangible assets including goodwill
    29,533,000  
Acquired in-process research and development
    2,334,000  
Other assets
    556,000  
Liabilities
    (4,349,000 )

Note 5 — Common Stock and Options

     In July 1993, the Company adopted the 1993 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) which authorizes 1,467,000 shares to be granted no later than July 2003. In November 1996, the Plan was terminated and replaced by the ViaSat, Inc. 1996 Equity Participation Plan (the “1996 Equity Participation Plan”). No options have been issued under the Plan since July 1996.

     In November 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Equity Participation Plan. The 1996 Equity Participation Plan provides for the grant to executive officers, other key employees, consultants and non-employee directors of the Company a broad variety of stock-based compensation alternatives such as nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock and performance awards. In September 2000, the Company amended the 1996 Equity Participation Plan to increase the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under this plan from 2,500,000 shares to 6,100,000 shares. As of March 31, 2001, the Company had granted options to purchase 4,525,466 shares of common stock under this plan with vesting terms of three to five years and are exercisable for up to ten years from the grant date or up to five years from the date of grant for a ten percent owner.

     In November 1996, the Company adopted the ViaSat, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Employee Stock Purchase Plan”) to assist employees in acquiring a stock ownership interest in the Company and to encourage them to remain in the employment of the Company. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. A maximum of 1,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan permits eligible employees to purchase common stock at a discount through payroll deductions during specified six-month offering periods. No employee may purchase more than $25,000 worth of stock in any calendar year. The price of shares purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is equal to 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on the first or last day of the offering period, whichever is lower. As of March 31, 2001, the Company has issued 372,942 shares of common stock under this plan.

     Transactions under the Company’s stock option plans are summarized as follows:

Note 9 — Employee Benefits

          The Company has a voluntary deferred compensation plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company may make discretionary contributions to the plan which vest equally over six years. Employees who have completed 90 days of service and are at least 21 years of age are eligible to participate in the plan. Participants are entitled, upon termination or retirement, to their vested portion of the plan assets which are held by an independent trustee. Discretionary contributions accrued by the Company during fiscal years 1999, 2000 and 2001

amounted to $791,000, $917,000 and $1,772,000, respectively. The increase in the contributed amount is primarily due to the acquisition of the Satellite Networks Business. The cost of administering the plan is not significant.

Note 10 — Commitments

          The Company leases office facilities under noncancelable operating leases with initial terms ranging from one to ten years which expire between June 2002 and December 2009. Certain of the Company’s facilities leases contain option provisions which allow for extension of the lease terms. Rent expense, which is recognized on a straight-line basis, was $1,312,000, $1,939,000 and $4,194,000 in fiscal years 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively.

Note 11 — Contingencies

          On September 15, 2000 ORBCOMM Global, L.P. (ORBCOMM) and seven of its subsidiaries filed a voluntary petition for Chapter 11 relief in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware as part of its efforts to restructure and reorganize its business. ORBCOMM has continued its efforts to maintain and operate its network of low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites and related ground facilities while it restructures its operations. On April 23, 2001, International Licensees, LLC was approved by the bankruptcy court as the buyer of ORBCOMM. International Licensees is a consortium of current ORBCOMM licensees and other investors. There remain some conditions with respect to financing set in bankruptcy that the International Licensees must fulfill in the future. A failure to meet these conditions could result in the unwinding of the purchase by the International Licensees. We are currently in negotiations with International Licensees relating to our relationship with ORBCOMM in the future, including the potential assumption of all or part of our receivables and contracts in bankruptcy. The following table summarizes our assets related to ORBCOMM at March 31, 2001.

           
Accounts receivable-billed
  $ 4,611,000  
Accounts receivable-unbilled
    359,000  
Inventory
    123,000  
       
 
 
Total
  $ 5,093,000  
     
 

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

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

Note 12 — Immeon Networks, L.L.C.

          In January 2001 the Company and Loral Skynet formed a joint venture named Immeon Networks, L.L.C., (Immeon). The Company and Loral Skynet are each entitled to 50% of the net profits of Immeon, subject to certain adjustments. The Company accounts for its investment under the equity method because the Company has significant influence, but not control, of the operations of Immeon. The Company’s share of net losses of Immeon is limited to the extent of the Company’s investment in, advances to and financial guarantees that create additional basis in the Immeon. The Company’s share of losses and advances to Immeon have reduced our investment to zero at March 31, 2001. The Company’s share of the operating loss of Immeon for fiscal year 2001 is $558,000.

Note 13 — Segment Information

          We are organized primarily on the basis of products with commercial and defense communication applications, represented by ViaSat Satellite Networks which operates primarily in the commercial market and Communication Systems Group which operates primarily in the defense market. As new areas of our business grow, such as broadband systems, additional operating segments may be reported in the future.

          The following table summarizes revenues and operating profits by operating segment for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001. 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. Assets are not tracked by operating segment. Consequently, it is not practical to show assets by operating segments.

Note 14 — Subsequent Events

          June 21, 2001 the Company executed a one year Revolving/Term Loan Agreement of $25 million from Union Bank of California, N.A. and Washington Mutual Bank, with Union Bank of California, N.A., as Administrative Agent. Under the revolving facility and the term loan facility, the Company has the option to borrow at the bank’s prime rate or at LIBOR plus, in each case, an applicable margin based on the ratio of our total debt to EBITDA (earnings before interest and taxes and depreciation and amortization).
