NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 29, 2012, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011 and the condensed consolidated statement of equity for the three months ended June 29, 2012 have been prepared by the management of ViaSat, Inc. (also referred to hereafter as the Company or ViaSat), and have not been audited. These financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2012 and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s results for the periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2012 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

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

The Company’s fiscal year is the 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Friday closest to March 31 of the specified year. For example, references to fiscal year 2013 refer to the fiscal year ending on March 29, 2013. The Company’s quarters for fiscal year 2013 end on June 29, 2012, September 28, 2012, December 28, 2012 and March 29, 2013. This results in a 53 week fiscal year approximately every four to five years. Fiscal years 2013 and 2012 are both 52-week years.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, self-insurance reserves, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranty accruals, valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, patents, orbital slots and other licenses, software development, property, equipment and satellites, long-lived assets, derivatives, contingencies and income taxes including the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Revenue recognition

A substantial portion of the Company’s revenues are derived from long-term contracts requiring development and delivery of complex equipment built to customer specifications. Sales related to long-term contracts are accounted for under the authoritative guidance for the percentage-of-completion method of accounting (Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605-35). Sales and earnings under these contracts are recorded either based on the ratio of actual costs incurred to date to total estimated costs expected to be incurred related to the contract, or as products are shipped under the units-of-delivery method. Anticipated losses on contracts are recognized in full in the period in which losses become probable and estimable. Changes in estimates of profit or loss on contracts are included in earnings on a cumulative basis in the period the estimate is changed. During the three months ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011, the Company recorded losses of approximately $1.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, related to loss contracts.

The Company also derives a substantial portion of its revenues from contracts and purchase orders where revenue is recorded on delivery of products or performance of services in accordance with the authoritative guidance for revenue recognition (ASC 605). Under this standard, the Company recognizes revenue when an arrangement exists, prices are determinable, collectability is reasonably assured and the goods or services have been delivered.

The Company also enters into certain leasing arrangements with customers and evaluates the contracts in accordance with the authoritative guidance for leases (ASC 840). The Company’s accounting for equipment leases involves specific determinations under the authoritative guidance for leases, which often involve complex provisions and significant judgments. In accordance with the authoritative guidance for leases, the Company classifies the transactions as sales type or operating leases based on (1) review for transfers of ownership of the equipment to the lessee by the end of the lease term, (2) review of the lease terms to determine if it contains an option to purchase the leased equipment for a price which is sufficiently lower than the expected fair value of the equipment at the date of the option, (3) review of the lease term to determine if it is equal to or greater than 75% of the economic life of the equipment, and (4) review of the present value of the minimum lease payments to determine if they are equal to or greater than

(UNAUDITED)

90% of the fair market value of the equipment at the inception of the lease. Additionally, the Company considers the cancelability of the contract and any related uncertainty of collections or risk in recoverability of the lease investment at lease inception. Revenue from sales type leases is recognized at the inception of the lease or when the equipment has been delivered and installed at the customer site, if installation is required. Revenues from equipment rentals under operating leases are recognized as earned over the lease term, which is generally on a straight-line basis.

Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13 (ASU 2009-13), Revenue Recognition (ASC 605) Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, which updates ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition-Multiple element arrangements, of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) codification. ASU 2009-13 amended accounting guidance for revenue recognition to eliminate the use of the residual method and requires entities to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method. For substantially all of the arrangements with multiple deliverables, the Company allocates revenue to each element based on a selling price hierarchy at the arrangement inception. The selling price for each element is based upon the following selling price hierarchy: vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) if available, third party evidence (TPE) if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price (ESP) if neither VSOE nor TPE are available (a description as to how the Company determines VSOE, TPE and ESP is provided below). If a tangible hardware systems product includes software, the Company determines whether the tangible hardware systems product and the software work together to deliver the product’s essential functionality and, if so, the entire product is treated as a nonsoftware deliverable. The total arrangement consideration is allocated to each separate unit of accounting for each of the nonsoftware deliverables using the relative selling prices of each unit based on the aforementioned selling price hierarchy. Revenue for each separate unit of accounting is recognized when the applicable revenue recognition criteria for each element have been met.

To determine the selling price in multiple-element arrangements, the Company establishes VSOE of the selling price using the price charged for a deliverable when sold separately and for software license updates and product support and hardware systems support, based on the renewal rates offered to customers. For nonsoftware multiple-element arrangements, TPE is established by evaluating similar and/or interchangeable competitor products or services in standalone arrangements with similarly situated customers and/or agreements. If the Company is unable to determine the selling price because VSOE or TPE doesn’t exist, the Company determines ESP for the purposes of allocating the arrangement by reviewing historical transactions, including transactions whereby the deliverable was sold on a standalone basis and considers several other external and internal factors including, but not limited to, pricing practices including discounting, margin objectives, competition, the geographies in which the Company offers its products and services, the type of customer (i.e., distributor, value added reseller, government agency or direct end user, among others) and the stage of the product lifecycle. The determination of ESP considers the Company’s pricing model and go-to-market strategy. As the Company, or its competitors’, pricing and go-to-market strategies evolve, the Company may modify its pricing practices in the future, which could result in changes to its determination of VSOE, TPE and ESP. As a result, the Company’s future revenue recognition for multiple-element arrangements could differ materially from those in the current period. The Company adopted this authoritative guidance prospectively in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 without a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for shipping and handling fees and costs (ASC 605-45), the Company records shipping and handling costs billed to customers as a component of revenues, and shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company for inbound and outbound freight are recorded as a component of cost of revenues.

Collections in excess of revenues and deferred revenues represent cash collected from customers in advance of revenue recognition and are recorded in accrued liabilities for obligations within the next twelve months. Amounts for obligations extending beyond twelve months are recorded within other liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Contract costs on U.S. government contracts are subject to audit and review by the Defense Contracting Management Agency (DCMA), the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), and other U.S. government agencies, as well as negotiations with U.S. government representatives. The Company’s incurred cost audits by the DCAA have not been completed for fiscal year 2004 and subsequent fiscal years. Although the Company has recorded contract revenues subsequent to fiscal year 2003 based upon an estimate of costs that the Company believes will be approved upon final audit or review, the Company does not know the outcome of any ongoing or future audits or reviews and adjustments, and if future adjustments exceed the Company’s estimates, its profitability would be adversely affected. As of June 29, 2012 and March 30, 2012, the Company had $6.7 million in contract-related reserves for its estimate of potential refunds to customers for potential cost adjustments on several multi-year U.S. government cost reimbursable contracts (see Note 8).

Advertising costs

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for advertising costs (ASC 720-35), advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising expenses for the three months ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011 were $5.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

Property, equipment and satellites

Satellites and other property and equipment are recorded at cost or, in the case of certain satellites and other property acquired, the fair value at the date of acquisition, net of accumulated depreciation. Capitalized satellite costs consist primarily of the costs of satellite construction and launch, including launch insurance and insurance during the period of in-orbit testing, the net present value of performance incentives expected to be payable to satellite manufacturers (dependent on the continued satisfactory performance of the satellites), costs directly associated with the monitoring and support of satellite construction, and interest costs incurred during the period of satellite construction. The Company also constructs gateway facilities, network operations systems and other assets to support its satellites, and those construction costs, including interest, are capitalized as incurred. At the time satellites are placed in service, the Company estimates the useful life of its satellites for depreciation purposes based upon an analysis of each satellite’s performance against the original manufacturer’s orbital design life, estimated fuel levels and related consumption rates, as well as historical satellite operating trends. The Company computes depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from two to twenty-four years. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the life of the improvement. Costs incurred for additions to property, equipment and satellites, together with major renewals and betterments, are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the underlying asset. Costs incurred for maintenance, repairs and minor renewals and betterments are charged to expense as incurred. 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 in operations.

Interest expense is capitalized on the carrying value of assets under construction, in accordance with the authoritative guidance for the capitalization of interest (ASC 835-20). During the three months ended June 29, 2012, with respect to assets under construction, the Company capitalized $0.8 million of interest expense. With respect to ViaSat-1, related gateway and networking equipment and other assets, the Company capitalized $7.6 million of interest expense during the three months ended July 1, 2011.

The Company owns two satellites: its new high-capacity Ka-band spot-beam satellite, ViaSat-1 (which was successfully launched into orbit in October 2011 and commenced commercial operation in January 2012) and WildBlue-1 (which was placed into service in March 2007). In addition, the Company has an exclusive prepaid lifetime capital lease of Ka-band capacity over the continental United States on Telesat Canada’s Anik F2 satellite (which was placed into service in April 2005) and owns related gateway and networking equipment for all of its satellites. The Company periodically reviews the remaining estimated useful life of its satellites to determine if revisions to estimated lives are necessary. The Company’s property and equipment also includes the indoor and outdoor customer premise equipment (CPE) units leased to subscribers under a retail leasing program as part of the Company’s satellite services segment. The Company depreciates the satellites, gateway and networking equipment, CPE units and related installation costs over their estimated useful lives. The total cost and accumulated depreciation of CPE units included in property and equipment, net, as of June 29, 2012 were $101.3 million and $35.6 million, respectively. The total cost and accumulated depreciation of CPE units included in property and equipment, net, as of March 30, 2012 were $85.3 million and $33.1 million, respectively.

Occasionally, the Company may enter into capital lease arrangements for various machinery, equipment, computer-related equipment, software, furniture or fixtures. As of June 29, 2012 and March 30, 2012, assets under capital leases totaled approximately $3.1 million. Accumulated amortization related to such capital leases was $1.0 million and $0.8 million as of June 29, 2012 and March 30, 2012, respectively. The Company records amortization of assets leased under capital lease arrangements within depreciation expense.

Patents, orbital slots and other licenses

The Company capitalizes the costs of obtaining or acquiring patents, orbital slots and other licenses. Amortization of intangible assets that have finite lives is provided for by the straight-line method over the shorter of the legal or estimated economic life. As of June 29, 2012 and March 30, 2012, the Company had $3.2 million of capitalized costs related to patents included in other assets. As of June 29, 2012 and March 30, 2012, the Company had $8.6 million and $8.4 million, respectively, of capitalized costs related to acquiring and obtaining orbital slots and other licenses included in other assets. Accumulated amortization related to these assets was approximately $0.4 million as of June 29, 2012 and March 30, 2012. Amortization expense related to these assets was an insignificant amount for the three months ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011. If a patent, orbital slot or orbital license is rejected, abandoned or otherwise invalidated, the unamortized cost is expensed in that period. During the three months ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011, the Company did not write off any significant costs due to abandonment or impairment.

Debt issuance costs

Debt issuance costs are amortized and recognized as interest expense on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the related debt, which is not materially different from an effective interest rate basis. During the three months ended June 29, 2012, the Company paid and capitalized approximately $2.2 million in debt issuance costs related to the amendment of its revolving credit facility (the Credit Facility). During the three months ended July 1, 2011, the Company did not pay or capitalize any debt issuance costs. Unamortized debt issuance costs are recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets and in other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets, depending on the amounts expected to be amortized to interest expense within the next twelve months.

Software development

Costs of developing software for sale are charged to research and development expense when incurred, until technological feasibility has been established. 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 unamortized cost or net realizable value. Once the product is available for general release, the software development costs are amortized based on the ratio of current to future revenue for each product with an annual minimum equal to straight-line amortization over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, generally within five years. Capitalized costs, net, of $46.9 million and $42.0 million related to software developed for resale were included in other assets as of June 29, 2012 and March 30, 2012, respectively. The Company capitalized $6.4 million and $5.2 million of costs related to software developed for resale for the three months ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011, respectively. Amortization expense for software development costs was $1.5 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011, respectively.

Self-insurance liabilities

The Company has self-insurance plans to retain a portion of the exposure for losses related to employee medical benefits and workers’ compensation. The self-insurance plans include policies which provide for both specific and aggregate stop-loss limits. The Company utilizes internal actuarial methods as well as other historical information for the purpose of estimating ultimate costs for a particular plan year. Based on these actuarial methods, along with currently available information and insurance industry statistics, the Company’s self-insurance liability for the plans was $1.9 million and $1.7 million as of June 29, 2012 and March 30, 2012, respectively. The Company’s estimate, which is subject to inherent variability, is based on average claims experience in the Company’s industry and its own experience in terms of frequency and severity of claims, including asserted and unasserted claims incurred but not reported, with no explicit provision for adverse fluctuation from year to year. This variability may lead to ultimate payments being either greater or less than the amounts presented above. Self-insurance liabilities have been classified as a current liability in accrued liabilities in accordance with the estimated timing of the projected payments.

Indemnification provisions

In the ordinary course of business, the Company includes indemnification provisions in certain of its contracts, generally relating to parties with which the Company has commercial relations. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company will indemnify, hold harmless and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, including but not limited to losses relating to third-party intellectual property claims. To date, there have not been any material costs incurred in connection with such indemnification clauses. The Company’s insurance policies do not necessarily cover the cost of defending indemnification claims or providing indemnification, so if a claim was filed against the Company by any party that the Company has agreed to indemnify, the Company could incur substantial legal costs and damages. A claim would be accrued when a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. At June 29, 2012 and March 30, 2012, no such amounts were accrued related to the aforementioned provisions.

Noncontrolling interest

A noncontrolling interest represents the equity interest in a subsidiary that is not attributable, either directly or indirectly, to the Company and is reported as equity of the Company, separately from the Company’s controlling interest. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) are reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements at the consolidated amounts, which include the amounts attributable to both the controlling and noncontrolling interest.

Common stock held in treasury

During the first three months of fiscal years 2013 and 2012, the Company issued 127,604 and 129,470 shares of common stock, respectively, based on the vesting terms of certain restricted stock unit agreements. In order for employees to satisfy minimum statutory employee tax withholding requirements related to the issuance of common stock underlying these restricted stock unit agreements, the Company repurchased 47,665 and 48,918 shares of common stock with a total value of $2.0 million and $2.2 million during the first three months of fiscal years 2013 and 2012, respectively. Repurchased shares of common stock of 775,339 and 727,674 were held in treasury as of June 29, 2012 and March 30, 2012, respectively.

Derivatives

The Company enters into foreign currency forward and option contracts from time to time to hedge certain forecasted foreign currency transactions. Gains and losses arising from foreign currency forward and option contracts not designated as hedging instruments are recorded in other income (expense) as gains (losses) on derivative instruments. Gains and losses arising from the effective portion of foreign currency forward and option contracts which are designated as cash-flow hedging instruments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments until the underlying transaction affects the Company’s earnings, at which time they are then recorded in the same income statement line as the underlying transaction.

The fair values of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency forward contracts as of June 29, 2012 and March 30, 2012 were as follows:

At June 29, 2012, the estimated net amount of unrealized gains or losses related to foreign currency forward contracts that was expected to be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months was approximately $0.6 million. The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts outstanding as of June 29, 2012 will mature within nine to twenty months from their inception. There were no gains or losses from ineffectiveness of these derivative instruments recorded for the three months ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011.

Stock-based compensation

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for share-based payments (ASC 718), the Company measures stock-based compensation cost at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and recognizes expense on a straight-line basis over the employee’s requisite service period. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011 only for those awards ultimately expected to vest, with forfeitures estimated at the date of grant. The authoritative guidance for share-based payments requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company recognized $6.6 million and $4.2 million of stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011, respectively.

For the three months ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011, the Company recorded no incremental tax benefits from stock options exercised and restricted stock unit award vesting as the excess tax benefit from stock options exercised and restricted stock unit award vesting increased the Company’s net operating loss carryforward.

Income taxes

Accruals for uncertain tax positions are provided for in accordance with the authoritative guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes (ASC 740). The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The authoritative guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and income tax disclosures. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense.

Current income tax expense is the amount of income taxes expected to be payable for the current fiscal 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.

Recent authoritative guidance

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (ASC 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The new authoritative guidance requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The new authoritative guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive

(UNAUDITED)

income as part of the statement of equity. In December 2011, the FASB further amended its guidance to defer changes related to the presentation of reclassification adjustments indefinitely as a result of concerns raised by stakeholders that the new presentation requirements would be difficult for preparers and add unnecessary complexity to financial statements. The authoritative guidance (other than the portion regarding the presentation of reclassification adjustments which, as noted above, has been deferred indefinitely) became effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company retrospectively adopted the new accounting standard for the presentation of comprehensive income in financial statements which resulted in the presentation of a total for comprehensive income (loss), and the components of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) in one statement. The adoption of this standard only changed how the Company presents comprehensive income (loss) and did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (ASC 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The new authoritative guidance simplifies how an entity tests goodwill for impairment. The new authoritative guidance allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The two-step quantitative impairment test is required only if, based on its qualitative assessment, an entity determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. This authoritative guidance is effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted if an entity’s financial statements for the more recent interim and annual period have not yet been issued. The Company early adopted this authoritative guidance in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012. Adoption of this authoritative guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (ASC 210): Disclosures about offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The new authoritative guidance requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments in the scope of this authoritative guidance. This authoritative guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 and should be applied retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this authoritative guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Note 3 — Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (ASC 820), the Company prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value from market-based assumptions to entity specific assumptions:

•

Level 1 — Inputs based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.

•

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

•

Level 3 — Inputs which reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instruments valuation.

The following section describes the valuation methodologies the Company uses to measure financial instruments at fair value:

Cash equivalents — The Company’s cash equivalents consist of money market funds. Money market funds are valued using quoted prices for identical assets in an active market with sufficient volume and frequency of transactions (Level 1).

Foreign currency forward contracts — The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency risk relating to foreign exchange rates. The Company does not use these instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company’s objective is to reduce the risk to earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and are measured at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair values of those derivative instruments are recorded to earnings or other comprehensive income (loss) depending on the use of the derivative instrument and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are valued using quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data (Level 2).

Long-term debt — The Company’s long-term debt consists of borrowings under (1) capital lease obligations reported at the present value of future minimum lease payments with current accrued interest, and (2) the Company’s 8.875% Senior Notes due 2016 (the 2016 Notes) and 6.875% Senior Notes due 2020 (the 2020 Notes, and collectively with the 2016 Notes, the Senior Notes) reported at amortized cost. However, for disclosure purposes, the Company is required to measure the fair value of outstanding debt on a recurring basis. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding long-term debt related to the 2020 Notes is determined using recent market transactions for similar notes (Level 2) and was approximately $277.8 million and $280.2 million as of June 29, 2012 and March 30, 2012, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding long-term debt related to the 2016 Notes is determined using quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and was approximately $294.3 million and $298.4 million as of June 29, 2012 and March 30, 2012, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s capital lease obligations is estimated at their carrying value based on current rates (Level 2).

Satellite performance incentives obligation — The Company’s contract with the manufacturer of ViaSat-1 requires the Company to make monthly in-orbit satellite performance incentive payments, including interest at 7.00%, over a fifteen-year period from December 2011 to December 2026, subject to the continued satisfactory performance of the satellite. The Company recorded the net present value of these expected future payments as a liability and as a component of the cost of the satellite. However, for disclosure purposes, the Company is required to measure the fair value of outstanding satellite performance incentives on a recurring basis. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding satellite performance incentives are estimated at their carrying value based on current rates (Level 2).

Common share equivalents excluded from the calculation for the three months ended June 29, 2012 were 1,709,087 shares relating to stock options, 366,753 shares relating to restricted stock units and 198,809 shares relating to certain terms of the amended ViaSat 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Antidilutive shares relating to stock options and restricted stock units excluded from the calculation for the three months ended July 1, 2011 were 241,525 and 4,824 shares, respectively.

Note 5 — Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets

During first quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company’s goodwill decreased by approximately $0.3 million related to the effects of foreign currency translation recorded within the Company’s government systems and commercial networks segments. Other acquired intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of three to ten years. Amortization expense related to other acquired intangible assets was $4.1 million and $4.8 million for the three months ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011, respectively.

The expected amortization expense of amortizable acquired intangible assets may change due to the effects of foreign currency fluctuations as a result of international businesses acquired. Current and expected amortization expense for acquired intangible assets for each of the following periods is as follows:

Credit Facility

As of June 29, 2012, the Credit Facility, as amended, provided a revolving line of credit of $325.0 million (including up to $50.0 million of letters of credit), with a maturity date of May 9, 2017. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either (1) the highest of the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, the Eurodollar rate plus 1.00% or the administrative agent’s prime rate as announced from time to time, or (2) the Eurodollar rate plus, in the case of each of (1) and (2), an applicable margin that is based on the Company’s total leverage ratio. The Company has capitalized certain amounts of interest expense on the Credit Facility in connection with the construction of various assets during the construction period. The Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the Company’s and such subsidiaries’ assets.

The Credit Facility contains financial covenants regarding a maximum total leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. In addition, the Credit Facility contains covenants that restrict, among other things, the Company’s ability to sell assets, make investments and acquisitions, make capital expenditures, grant liens, pay dividends and make certain other restricted payments.

The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants under the Credit Facility as of June 29, 2012. At June 29, 2012, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and $17.0 million outstanding under standby letters of credit, leaving borrowing availability under the Credit Facility as of June 29, 2012 of $308.0 million.

Senior Notes due 2016

In October 2009, the Company issued $275.0 million in principal amount of 2016 Notes in a private placement to institutional buyers, which 2016 Notes were exchanged in May 2010 for substantially identical 2016 Notes that had been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The 2016 Notes bear interest at the rate of 8.875% per year, payable semi-annually in cash in arrears, which interest payments commenced in March 2010. The 2016 Notes were issued with an original issue discount of 1.24%, or $3.4 million. The 2016 Notes are recorded as long-term debt, net of original issue discount, in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The original issue discount and deferred financing cost associated with the issuance of the 2016 Notes is amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the 2016 Notes.

The 2016 Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by each of the Company’s existing and future subsidiaries that guarantees the Credit Facility (the Guarantor Subsidiaries). The 2016 Notes and the guarantees are the Company’s and the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ general senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future unsecured unsubordinated debt. The 2016 Notes and the guarantees are effectively junior in right of payment to their existing and future secured debt, including under the Credit Facility (to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt), are structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities (including trade payables) of the Company’s subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the 2016 Notes, and are senior in right of payment to all of their existing and future subordinated indebtedness.

(UNAUDITED)

The indenture governing the 2016 Notes limits, among other things, the Company’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to: incur, assume or guarantee additional debt; issue redeemable stock and preferred stock; pay dividends, make distributions or redeem or repurchase capital stock; prepay, redeem or repurchase subordinated debt; make loans and investments; grant or incur liens; restrict dividends, loans or asset transfers from restricted subsidiaries; sell or otherwise dispose of assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; reduce the Company’s satellite insurance; and consolidate or merge with, or sell substantially all of their assets to, another person.

Prior to September 15, 2012, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the 2016 Notes at a redemption price of 108.875% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date, from the net cash proceeds of specified equity offerings. The Company may also redeem the 2016 Notes prior to September 15, 2012, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the applicable premium and any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date. The applicable premium is calculated as the greater of: (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of such 2016 Notes and (ii) the excess, if any, of (a) the present value at such date of redemption of (1) the redemption price of such 2016 Notes on September 15, 2012 plus (2) all required interest payments due on such 2016 Notes through September 15, 2012 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the date of redemption), computed using a discount rate equal to the treasury rate (as defined under the indenture) plus 50 basis points, over (b) the then-outstanding principal amount of such 2016 Notes. The 2016 Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time during the twelve months beginning on September 15, 2012 at a redemption price of 106.656%, during the twelve months beginning on September 15, 2013 at a redemption price of 104.438%, during the twelve months beginning on September 15, 2014 at a redemption price of 102.219%, and at any time on or after September 15, 2015 at a redemption price of 100%, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date.

In the event a change of control occurs (as defined in the indenture), each holder will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s 2016 Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2016 Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

Senior Notes due 2020

In February 2012, the Company issued $275.0 million in principal amount of 2020 Notes in a private placement to institutional buyers. The 2020 Notes bear interest at the rate of 6.875% per year, payable semi-annually in cash in arrears, which interest payments commenced in June 2012. The 2020 Notes are recorded as long-term debt in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The 2020 Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The 2020 Notes and the guarantees are the Company’s and the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ general senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future unsecured unsubordinated debt. The 2020 Notes and the guarantees are effectively junior in right of payment to their existing and future secured debt, including under the Credit Facility (to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt), are structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities (including trade payables) of the Company’s subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the 2020 Notes, and are senior in right of payment to all of their existing and future subordinated indebtedness.

The indenture governing the 2020 Notes limits, among other things, the Company’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to: incur, assume or guarantee additional debt; issue redeemable stock and preferred stock; pay dividends, make distributions or redeem or repurchase capital stock; prepay, redeem or repurchase subordinated debt; make loans and investments; grant or incur liens; restrict dividends, loans or asset transfers from restricted subsidiaries; sell or otherwise dispose of assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; reduce the Company’s satellite insurance; and consolidate or merge with, or sell substantially all of their assets to, another person.

Prior to June 15, 2015, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the 2020 Notes at a redemption price of 106.875% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date, from the net cash proceeds of specified equity offerings. The Company may also redeem the 2020 Notes prior to June 15, 2016, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the applicable premium and any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date. The applicable premium is calculated as the greater of: (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of such 2020 Notes and (ii) the excess, if any, of (a) the present value at such date of redemption of (1) the redemption price of such 2020 Notes on June 15, 2016 plus (2) all required interest payments due on such 2020 Notes through June 15, 2016 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the date of redemption), computed using a discount rate equal to the treasury rate (as defined under the indenture) plus 50 basis points, over (b) the then-outstanding principal amount of such 2020 Notes. The 2020 Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time during the twelve months beginning on June 15, 2016 at a redemption price of 103.438%, during the twelve months beginning on June 15, 2017 at a redemption price of 101.719%, and at any time on or after June 15, 2018 at a redemption price of 100%, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date.

In the event a change of control occurs (as defined in the indenture), each holder will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s 2020 Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

In connection with the private placement of the 2020 Notes, the Company and the Guarantor Subsidiaries entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers in which the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC to permit the holders to exchange or resell the 2020 Notes. The Company must use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate an exchange offer within one year after the issuance of the 2020 Notes or, under certain circumstances, to prepare and file a shelf registration statement to cover the resale of the 2020 Notes. If the Company and the Guarantor Subsidiaries do not comply with certain of their obligations under the registration rights agreement, the registration rights agreement provides that additional interest will accrue on the principal amount of the 2020 Notes at a rate of 0.25% per annum during the 90-day period immediately following such default and will increase by 0.25% per annum at the end of each subsequent 90-day period, but in no event will the penalty rate exceed 1.00% per annum. Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company launched an exchange offer for the 2020 Notes on July 26, 2012, which is scheduled to expire on August 23, 2012.

Capital leases

Occasionally the Company may enter into capital lease agreements for various machinery, equipment, computer-related equipment, software, furniture or fixtures. As of June 29, 2012 and March 30, 2012, the Company had approximately $1.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively, outstanding under capital leases payable over a weighted average period of 36 months, due fiscal year 2014. These lease agreements bear interest at a weighted average rate of 4.62% and can be extended on a month-to-month basis after the original term.

Note 7 — Product Warranty

The Company provides limited warranties on its products for periods of up to five years. The Company records a liability for its warranty obligations when products are shipped or they are included in long-term construction contracts based upon an estimate of expected warranty costs. Amounts expected to be incurred within twelve months are classified as a current liability. For mature products, the warranty cost estimates are based on historical experience with the particular product. For newer products that do not have a history of warranty cost, the Company bases its estimates on its experience with the technology involved and the type of failures that may occur. It is possible that the Company’s underlying assumptions will not reflect the actual experience and in that case, future adjustments will be made to the recorded warranty obligation. The following table reflects the change in the Company’s warranty accrual during the three months ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011:

Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies

On February 1, 2012, the Company filed a complaint against Space Systems/Loral, Inc. (SS/L) and its parent company Loral Space & Communications, Inc. (Loral) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California for patent infringement and breach of contract relating to the manufacture of ViaSat-1. The Company alleges, among other things, that SS/L and Loral infringed U.S. Patent Nos. 8,107,875, 8,010,043, 8,068,827 and 7,773,942 by making, using, offering to sell and/or selling other high-capacity broadband satellites, and have requested monetary damages, injunctive relief and other remedies. On June 15, 2012, SS/L filed counterclaims against the Company for patent infringement and declaratory relief. Specifically, SS/L seeks a judicial declaration that SS/L did not breach the parties’ contract for the manufacture of ViaSat-1, that SS/L does not infringe the Company’s patents described above, and that those patents are invalid and/or unenforceable. SS/L also alleges that the Company infringed U.S. Patent Nos. 6,879,808, 6,400,696 and 7,219,132 by providing broadband internet service by means of the Anik F2 satellite using ViaSat satellite gateways and satellite user terminals and has induced others to infringe by selling certain ground equipment and user terminals.

The Company is involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including actions with respect to intellectual property claims, breach of contract claims, labor and employment claims, tax and other matters. Although claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and their results cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the resolution of its current pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

(UNAUDITED)

The Company has contracts with various U.S. government agencies. Accordingly, the Company is routinely subject to audit and review by the DCMA, the DCAA and other U.S. government agencies of its performance on government contracts, indirect rates and pricing practices, accounting and management internal control business systems, and compliance with applicable contracting and procurement laws, regulations and standards. An adverse outcome to a review or audit or other failure to comply with applicable contracting and procurement laws, regulations and standards could result in material civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions being imposed on the Company, which may include termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, triggering of price reduction clauses, suspension of payments, significant customer refunds, fines and suspension, or a prohibition on doing business with U.S. government agencies. In addition, if the Company fails to obtain an “adequate” determination of its various accounting and management internal control business systems from applicable U.S. government agencies or if allegations of impropriety are made against it, the Company could suffer serious harm to its business or its reputation, including its ability to bid on new contracts or receive contract renewals and its competitive position in the bidding process. The Company’s incurred cost audits by the DCAA have not been completed for fiscal year 2004 and subsequent fiscal years. Although the Company has recorded contract revenues subsequent to fiscal year 2003 based upon an estimate of costs that the Company believes will be approved upon final audit or review, the Company does not know the outcome of any ongoing or future audits or reviews and adjustments, and if future adjustments exceed the Company’s estimates, its profitability would be adversely affected. As of June 29, 2012 and March 30, 2012, the Company had $6.7 million in contract-related reserves for its estimate of potential refunds to customers for potential cost adjustments on several multi-year U.S. government cost reimbursable contracts. This reserve is classified as either an element of accrued liabilities or as a reduction of unbilled accounts receivable based on status of the related contracts.

Note 9 — Income Taxes

The Company currently estimates its annual effective income tax rate to be approximately 42.6% for fiscal year 2013. The estimated annual effective income tax rate reflects the December 31, 2011 expiration of the federal research and development tax credit. If the federal research and development tax credit is reinstated, the Company may have a lower annual effective tax rate for fiscal year 2013, and the amount of any such tax rate reduction will depend on the effective date of any such reinstatement, the terms of the reinstatement, as well as the amount of eligible research and development expenses in the reinstated period. The estimated effective tax rate is different from the expected statutory rate primarily due to state research and development tax credits.

For the three months ended June 29, 2012, the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits increased by $2.3 million. In the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by up to approximately $2.4 million as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations or settlements with tax authorities for previously filed tax returns.

Note 11 — Segment Information

The Company’s reporting segments, comprised of the satellite services, commercial networks and government systems segment, are primarily distinguished by the type of customer and the related contractual requirements. The Company’s satellite services segment provides retail and wholesale satellite-based broadband internet services for its consumer, enterprise and mobile broadband customers in the United States, as well as managed network services for the satellite communication systems of the Company’s consumer, enterprise and mobile broadband customers worldwide. The Company’s commercial networks segment develops and produces a variety of advanced end-to-end satellite and other wireless communication systems and ground networking equipment and products, some of which are ultimately used by the Company’s satellite services segment. The Company’s government systems segment develops and produces network-centric, IP-based secure government communications systems, products, services and solutions. The more regulated government environment is subject to unique contractual requirements and possesses economic characteristics which differ from the satellite services and commercial networks segments. The Company’s segments are determined consistent with the way management currently organizes and evaluates financial information internally for making operating decisions and assessing performance.

Segment revenues and operating profits (losses) for the three months ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011 were as follows:

Note 12 — Certain Relationships and Related-Party Transactions

Michael Targoff, who served as a director of the Company from February 2003 to February 2012, currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer and the Vice Chairman of the board of directors of Loral, the parent of SS/L, and is also a director of Telesat Holdings Inc., a joint venture company formed by Loral and the Public Sector Pension Investment Board to acquire Telesat Canada in October 2007. John Stenbit, a director of the Company since August 2004, also currently serves on the board of directors of Loral.

The Company’s satellite construction contract with SS/L for ViaSat-1 requires the Company to make monthly satellite performance incentive payments, including interest, over a fifteen-year period from December 2011 to December 2026, subject to the continued satisfactory performance of the satellite. As of June 29, 2012 and March 30, 2012, the Company’s estimated satellite performance incentives obligation and accrued interest were $22.6 million and $22.5 million, respectively. Based on estimates as of June 29, 2012, the remaining amount of satellite performance incentives and related interest that the Company may be required to pay under this satellite construction contract during the period until December 2026 is approximately $39.0 million. Material amounts related to the satellite construction contract with SS/L are disclosed in the tables below.

In addition, from time to time, the Company enters into various contracts in the ordinary course of business with SS/L and Telesat Canada. Material amounts related to these contracts are disclosed in the tables below.

Sources of Revenues

Our satellite services segment revenues are primarily derived from our domestic satellite broadband services business and from our worldwide managed network services. Our domestic satellite broadband services business comprised approximately 14% and 17% of total revenues during the three months ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011, respectively.

With respect to our commercial networks and government systems segments, to date, our ability to grow and maintain our revenues has depended on our ability to identify and target markets where the customer places a high priority on the technology solution, and our ability to obtain additional sizable contract awards. Due to the nature of this process, it is difficult to predict the probability and timing of obtaining awards in these markets.

Our products in these segments are provided primarily through three types of contracts: fixed-price, time-and-materials and cost-reimbursement contracts. Fixed-price contracts, which require us to provide products and services under a contract at a specified price, comprised approximately 93% and 94% of our total revenues for these segments for the three months ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011, respectively. The remainder of our revenue in these segments for such periods was derived from cost-reimbursement contracts (under which we are reimbursed for all actual costs incurred in performing the contract to the extent 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 derived from customer contracts that include the research and development of products. The research and development efforts are conducted in direct response to the customer’s specific requirements 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 from our customer contracts were approximately $52.7 million or 22% and $54.0 million or 28% of our total revenues in the three months ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011, respectively.

We also incur independent research and development (IR&D) expenses, which are not directly funded by a third party. IR&D expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses, supplies, prototype materials, testing and certification related to research and development projects. IR&D expenses were approximately 3% of total revenues during each of the three months ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011. As a government contractor, we are able to recover a portion of our IR&D expenses pursuant to our government contracts.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We consider the policies discussed below to be critical to an understanding of our financial statements because their application places the most significant demands on management’s judgment, with financial reporting results relying on estimation about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We describe the specific risks for these critical accounting policies in the following paragraphs. For all of these policies, we caution that future events rarely develop exactly as forecast, and even the best estimates routinely require adjustment.

Revenue recognition

A substantial portion of our revenues is derived from long-term contracts requiring development and delivery of complex equipment built to customer specifications. Sales related to these contracts are accounted for under the authoritative guidance for the percentage-of-completion method of accounting (Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605-35). Sales and earnings under these contracts are recorded either based on the ratio of actual costs incurred to date to total estimated costs expected to be incurred related to the contract, or as products are shipped under the units-of-delivery method.

The percentage-of-completion method of accounting requires management to estimate the profit margin for each individual contract and to apply that profit margin on a uniform basis as sales are recorded under the contract. The estimation of profit margins requires management to make projections of the total sales to be generated and the total costs that will be incurred under a contract. These projections require management to make numerous assumptions and estimates relating to items such as the complexity of design and related development costs, performance of subcontractors, availability and cost of materials, labor productivity and cost, overhead and capital costs and manufacturing efficiency. These contracts often include purchase options for additional quantities and customer change orders for additional or revised product functionality. Purchase options and change orders are accounted for either as an integral part of the original contract or separately depending upon the nature and value of the item. For contract claims or similar items, we apply judgment in estimating the amounts and assessing the potential for realization. These amounts are only included in contract value when they can be reliably estimated and realization is considered probable. Anticipated losses on contracts are recognized in full in the period in which losses become probable and estimable. During the three months ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011, we recorded losses of approximately $1.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, related to loss contracts.

Assuming the initial estimates of sales and costs under a contract are accurate, the percentage-of-completion method results in the profit margin being recorded evenly as revenue is recognized under the contract. Changes in these underlying estimates due to revisions in sales and future cost estimates or the exercise of contract options may result in profit margins being recognized unevenly over a contract as such changes are accounted for on a cumulative basis in the period estimates are revised. We believe we have established appropriate systems and processes to enable us to reasonably estimate future cost on our programs through regular evaluations of contract costs, scheduling and technical matters by business unit personnel and management. Historically, in the aggregate, we have not experienced significant deviations in actual costs from estimated program costs, and when deviations that result in significant adjustments arise, we disclose the related impact in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. However, these estimates require significant management judgment and a significant change in future cost estimates on one or more programs could have a material effect on our results of operations. A one percent variance in our future cost estimates on open fixed-price contracts as of June 29, 2012 would change our loss before income taxes by approximately $0.4 million.

We also derive a substantial portion of our revenues from contracts and purchase orders where revenue is recorded on delivery of products or performance of services in accordance with the authoritative guidance for revenue recognition (ASC 605). Under this standard, we recognize revenue when an arrangement exists, prices are determinable, collectability is reasonably assured and the goods or services have been delivered.

We also enter into certain leasing arrangements with customers and evaluate the contracts in accordance with the authoritative guidance for leases (ASC 840). Our accounting for equipment leases involves specific determinations under the authoritative guidance for leases, which often involve complex provisions and significant judgments. In accordance with the authoritative guidance for leases, we classify the transactions as sales type or operating leases based on (1) review for transfers of ownership of the equipment to the lessee by the end of the lease term, (2) review of the lease terms to determine if it contains an option to purchase the leased equipment for a price which is sufficiently lower than the expected fair value of the equipment at the date of the option, (3) review of the lease term to determine if it is equal to or greater than 75% of the economic life of the equipment, and (4) review of the present value of the minimum lease payments to determine if they are equal to or greater than 90% of the fair market value of the equipment at the inception of the lease. Additionally, we consider the cancelability of the contract and any related uncertainty of collections or risk in recoverability of the lease investment at lease inception. Revenue from sales type leases is recognized at the inception of the lease or when the equipment has been delivered and installed at the customer site, if installation is required. Revenues from equipment rentals under operating leases are recognized as earned over the lease term, which is generally on a straight-line basis.

Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13 (ASU 2009-13), Revenue Recognition (ASC 605) Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, which updates ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition-Multiple element arrangements, of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) codification. ASU 2009-13 amended accounting guidance for revenue recognition to eliminate the use of the residual method and requires entities to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method. For substantially all of the arrangements with multiple deliverables, we allocate revenue to each element based on a selling price hierarchy at the arrangement inception. The selling price for each element is based upon the following selling price hierarchy: vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) if available, third party evidence (TPE) if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price (ESP) if neither VSOE nor TPE are available (a description as to how we determine VSOE, TPE and ESP is provided below). If a tangible hardware systems product includes software, we determine whether the tangible hardware systems product and the software work together to deliver the product’s essential functionality and, if so, the entire product is treated as a nonsoftware deliverable. The total arrangement consideration is allocated to each separate unit of accounting for each of the nonsoftware deliverables using the relative selling prices of each unit based on the aforementioned selling price hierarchy. Revenue for each separate unit of accounting is recognized when the applicable revenue recognition criteria for each element have been met.

To determine the selling price in multiple-element arrangements, we establish VSOE of the selling price using the price charged for a deliverable when sold separately and for software license updates and product support and hardware systems support, based on the renewal rates offered to customers. For nonsoftware multiple-element arrangements, TPE is established by evaluating similar and/or interchangeable competitor products or services in standalone arrangements with similarly situated customers and/or agreements. If we are unable to determine the selling price because VSOE or TPE doesn’t exist, we determine ESP for the purposes of allocating the arrangement by reviewing historical transactions, including transactions whereby the deliverable was sold on a standalone basis and considering several other external and internal factors including, but not limited to, pricing practices including discounting, margin objectives, competition, the geographies in which we offer our products and services, the type of customer (i.e. distributor, value added reseller, government agency or direct end user, among others) and the stage of the product lifecycle. The determination of ESP considers our pricing model and go-to-market strategy. As our, or our competitors’, pricing and go-to-market strategies evolve, we may modify our pricing practices in the future, which could result in changes to our determination of VSOE, TPE and ESP. As a result, our future revenue recognition for multiple-element arrangements could differ materially from those in the current period. We adopted this authoritative guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 without a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Collections in excess of revenues and deferred revenues represent cash collected from customers in advance of revenue recognition and are recorded in accrued liabilities for obligations within the next twelve months. Amount for obligations extending beyond the twelve months are recorded within other liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Warranty reserves

We provide limited warranties on our products for periods of up to five years. We record a liability for our warranty obligations when we ship the products or they are included in long-term construction contracts based upon an estimate of expected warranty costs. Amounts expected to be incurred within twelve months are classified as a current liability. For mature products, we estimate the warranty costs based on historical experience with the particular product. For newer products that do not have a history of warranty costs, we base our estimates on our experience with the technology involved and the types of failures that may occur. It is possible that our underlying assumptions will not reflect the actual experience, and in that case, we will make future adjustments to the recorded warranty obligation.

Property, equipment and satellites

Satellites and other property and equipment are recorded at cost or in the case of certain satellites and other property acquired, the fair value at the date of acquisition, net of accumulated depreciation. Capitalized satellite costs consist primarily of the costs of satellite construction and launch, including launch insurance and insurance during the period of in-orbit testing, the net present value of performance incentives expected to be payable to the satellite manufacturers (dependent on the continued satisfactory performance of the satellites), costs directly associated with the monitoring and support of satellite construction, and interest costs incurred during the period of satellite construction. We also construct gateway facilities, network operations systems and other assets to support our satellites, and those construction costs, including interest, are capitalized as incurred. At the time satellites are placed in service, we estimate the useful life of our satellites for depreciation purposes based upon an analysis of each satellite’s performance against the original manufacturer’s orbital design life, estimated fuel levels and related consumption rates, as well as historical satellite operating trends.

We own two satellites: our new high-capacity Ka-band spot-beam satellite, ViaSat-1 (which was successfully launched into orbit in October 2011 and commenced commercial operation in January 2012) and WildBlue-1 (which was placed into service in March 2007). In addition, we have an exclusive prepaid lifetime capital lease of Ka-band capacity over the continental United States on Telesat Canada’s Anik F2 satellite (which was placed into service in April 2005) and own related gateway and networking equipment on all of our satellites. Our property and equipment also includes the indoor and outdoor customer premise equipment (CPE) units leased to subscribers under a retail leasing program as part of our satellite services segment.

Occasionally, we may enter into capital lease arrangements for various machinery, equipment, computer-related equipment, software, furniture or fixtures. As of June 29, 2012 and March 30, 2012, assets under capital lease totaled approximately $3.1 million. We record amortization of assets leased under capital lease arrangements within depreciation expense.

Impairment of long-lived and other long-term assets (property, equipment and satellites, and other assets, including goodwill)

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for impairment or disposal of long-lived assets (ASC 360), we assess potential impairments to our long-lived assets, including property, equipment and satellites and other assets, when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We periodically review the remaining estimated useful life of the satellite to determine if revisions to the estimated life are necessary. We recognize an impairment loss when the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset (or group of assets) are less than the asset’s carrying value. Any required impairment loss would be measured as the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, and would be recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and charged to results of operations. No material impairments were recorded by us for the three months ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011.

We account for our goodwill under the authoritative guidance for goodwill and other intangible assets (ASC 350). We early adopted the provisions of ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, which permits us to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two step goodwill impairment test. If, after completing our qualitative assessment we determine that it is more likely than not that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value, we compare the fair value to our carrying value (including goodwill). If the estimated fair value is greater than the carrying value, we conclude that no impairment exists. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, a second step is performed in which the implied fair value of goodwill is compared to its carrying value. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value, goodwill must be written down to its implied fair value, resulting in goodwill impairment. We test goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter every fiscal year and when an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is reasonably possible that an impairment may exist.

The qualitative analysis included assessing the impact of changes in certain factors including (1) changes in forecasted operating results and comparing actual results to projections, (2) changes in our weighted average cost of capital, (3) changes in the industry or our competitive environment since the acquisition date, (4) changes in the overall economy, our market share and market interest rates since the acquisition date, (5) trends in the stock price and related market capitalization and enterprise values, (6) trends in peer companies total enterprise value metrics, and (7) additional factors such as management turnover, changes in regulation and changes in litigation matters.

Income taxes and valuation allowance on deferred tax assets

Management evaluates the realizability of our deferred tax assets and assesses the need for a valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. In accordance with the authoritative guidance for income taxes (ASC 740), net deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on all the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Our valuation allowance against deferred tax assets increased from $14.7 million at March 30, 2012 to $17.0 million at June 29, 2012. The valuation allowance primarily relates to state net operating loss carryforwards and research credit carryforwards available to reduce state income taxes.

Accruals for uncertain tax positions are provided for in accordance with the authoritative guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes (ASC 740). Under the authoritative guidance, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The authoritative guidance addresses the derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and income tax disclosures.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. In the ordinary course of business, there are calculations and transactions where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. In addition, changes in tax laws and regulations as well as adverse judicial rulings could adversely affect the income tax provision. We believe we have adequately provided for income tax issues not yet resolved with federal, state and foreign tax authorities. However, if these provided amounts prove to be more than what is necessary, the reversal of the reserves would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period in which we determine that provision for the liabilities is no longer necessary. If an ultimate tax assessment exceeds our estimate of tax liabilities, an additional charge to expense would result.

Revenues


	Three Months Ended				Dollar Increase (Decrease)		Percentage Increase (Decrease)
(In millions, except percentages)	June 29, 2012		July 1, 2011		Dollar Increase (Decrease)		Percentage Increase (Decrease)
Product revenues	$	147.7	$	122.5	$	25.2		20.6	%
Service revenues		94.0		72.6		21.5		29.6	%

Total revenues	$	241.8	$	195.1	$	46.7		23.9	%

Our total revenues increased approximately $46.7 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 when compared to the same period last fiscal year due to an increase in product revenues of approximately $25.2 million, coupled with an increase in service revenues of approximately $21.5 million. The increase in product revenues resulted from product revenue increases in our commercial networks segment of approximately $23.5 million and in our government systems segment of approximately $1.8 million. The increase in service revenues was driven by service revenue increases in our government systems segment of approximately $18.3 million and in our satellite services segment of approximately $2.6 million.

Cost of revenues


	Three Months Ended				Dollar Increase (Decrease)		Percentage Increase (Decrease)
(In millions, except percentages)	June 29, 2012		July 1, 2011		Dollar Increase (Decrease)		Percentage Increase (Decrease)
Cost of product revenues	$	109.0	$	92.3	$	16.8		18.2	%

Total cost of revenues	$	187.6	$	141.6	$	46.0		32.5	%

Total cost of revenues increased $46.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 due to a cost of service revenues increase of approximately $29.3 million and a cost of product revenues increase of approximately $16.8 million. Cost of service revenues increased from $49.3 million to $78.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 when compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 primarily due to increased service revenues, which caused an increase of approximately $14.6 million in cost of service revenues on a constant margin basis mainly related to our government systems segment. Additionally, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 we experienced an increase of approximately $14.2 million in cost of service revenues associated with our new ViaSat-1 satellite and associated infrastructure costs, and with our satellite services operations support in connection with our Exede broadband services, which commenced commercial operation in January 2012. Cost of product revenues increased from $92.3 million to $109.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 when compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 primarily due to increased product revenues, which caused an increase of approximately $19.0 million in cost of product revenues on a constant margin basis mainly related to our commercial networks segment.

Cost of product and service revenues may fluctuate in future periods depending on the mix of products sold and services provided, competition, new product and service introduction costs and other factors.

Selling, general and administrative expenses


	Three Months Ended				Dollar Increase (Decrease)		Percentage Increase (Decrease)
(In millions, except percentages)	June 29, 2012		July 1, 2011		Dollar Increase (Decrease)		Percentage Increase (Decrease)
Selling, general and administrative	$	56.5	$	41.7	$	14.8		35.4	%

The increase in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of $14.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 was primarily attributable to higher selling costs of approximately $10.5 million, higher support costs of approximately $2.9 million and higher new business proposal costs for new contract awards of approximately $1.4 million. Of the higher selling costs, $9.3 million related to our satellite services segment due to an increase of $5.9 million in advertising and marketing, and $3.7 million in commission costs in connection with our Exede broadband services, which commenced commercial operation in January 2012. Higher support costs were incurred across all segments: $1.2 million within our commercial networks segment, $1.1 million in our satellite services segment and $0.6 million in our government systems segment. Our commercial networks segment contributed to an increase of approximately $1.1 million in higher new business proposal costs for new contract awards. SG&A expenses consisted primarily of personnel costs, business development expenses, marketing and sales, bids and proposals, facilities, finance, contract administration and general management. Some SG&A expenses are difficult to predict and vary based on specific government, commercial and satellite service sales opportunities.

Independent research and development


	Three Months Ended				Dollar Increase (Decrease)		Percentage Increase (Decrease)
(In millions, except percentages)	June 29, 2012		July 1, 2011		Dollar Increase (Decrease)		Percentage Increase (Decrease)
Independent research and development	$	7.4	$	5.7	$	1.7		29.4	%

IR&D expenses increased $1.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, driven primarily by increased IR&D efforts in our commercial networks segment of $1.6 million.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets

We amortize our acquired intangible assets from prior acquisitions over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to ten years. The decrease in amortization of acquired intangible assets of approximately $0.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to the same period last fiscal year was a result of certain acquired technology intangibles in our commercial networks segment becoming fully amortized over the preceding twelve months. Current and expected amortization expense for acquired intangible assets for each of the following periods is as follows:


	Amortization
	(In thousands)
For the three months ended June 29, 2012	$	4,064

Expected for the remainder of fiscal year 2013	$	11,497
Expected for fiscal year 2014		13,801
Expected for fiscal year 2015		13,725
Expected for fiscal year 2016		10,178
Expected for fiscal year 2017		4,621
Thereafter		4,993

	$	58,815

Interest income

Interest income in the three months ended June 29, 2012 compared to the three months ended July 1, 2011 increased slightly as we experienced similar average interest rates on our investments but higher average invested cash balances during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to the same period last fiscal year.

Interest expense

The increase in interest expense from the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 to the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 of $11.5 million was due to lower capitalized interest and additional interest incurred on our 6.875% Senior Notes due 2020 (the 2020 Notes), which were issued in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 we capitalized approximately $0.8 million of interest associated with other assets currently under construction, compared to approximately $7.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 associated with our ViaSat-1 satellite, related gateway and networking equipment, which were placed into service during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012. Interest expense incurred during the three months ended June 29, 2012 related to the 2020 Notes, our 8.875% Senior Notes due 2016 (the 2016 Notes, and collectively with the 2016 Notes, the Senior Notes) and our revolving credit facility (the Credit Facility). Interest expense incurred during the three months ended July 1, 2011 related to the 2016 Notes and the Credit Facility.

Benefit from income taxes

We currently estimate our annual effective income tax rate to be approximately 42.6% for fiscal year 2013. The estimated annual effective income tax rate reflects the December 31, 2011 expiration of the federal research and development tax credit. If the federal research and development tax credit is reinstated, we may have a lower annual effective tax rate for fiscal year 2013, and the amount of any such tax rate reduction will depend on the effective date of any such reinstatement, the terms of the reinstatement, as well as the amount of eligible research and development expenses in the reinstated period. The estimated effective tax rate is different from the expected statutory rate primarily due to state research and development tax credits.

Segment Results for the Three Months Ended June 29, 2012 vs. Three Months Ended July 1, 2011

Satellite services segment

Revenues


	Three Months Ended				Dollar Increase (Decrease)			Percentage Increase (Decrease)
(In millions, except percentages)	June 29, 2012		July 1, 2011		Dollar Increase (Decrease)			Percentage Increase (Decrease)
Segment product revenues	$	0.5	$	0.7	$	(0.1	)		(18.4	)%
Segment service revenues		58.8		56.2		2.6			4.6	%

Total revenues	$	59.3	$	56.9	$	2.5			4.3	%

The increase of approximately $2.5 million in our satellite services segment revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 was from increased service revenues of approximately $2.6 million. This increase in service revenues was comprised of $1.3 million relating to our Exede and WildBlue broadband services and $1.3 million relating to our mobile broadband services. While the number of subscribers was two percent lower in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, revenues relating to our Exede and WildBlue broadband services increased year-over-year, mainly due to a change in the mix of retail and wholesale subscribers and related higher average revenue per subscriber.

Segment operating (loss) profit


	Three Months Ended						Dollar Increase (Decrease)			Percentage Increase (Decrease)
(In millions, except percentages)	June 29, 2012			July 1, 2011			Dollar Increase (Decrease)			Percentage Increase (Decrease)

Percentage of segment revenues		(38.0	)%		3.4	%

Our satellite services segment generated an operating loss in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to an operating profit in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. This change was driven by higher operating expenses in the current fiscal year period associated with our ViaSat-1 satellite and related infrastructure and the commencement of commercial operation of our Exede internet services in January 2012, and included additional depreciation of $7.6 million, additional satellite services operations support costs of $6.6 million, higher advertising and marketing costs of $5.9 million and higher commission costs of $3.7 million as we expanded the subscriber base of our Exede broadband services.

Commercial networks segment

Revenues


	Three Months Ended				Dollar Increase (Decrease)		Percentage Increase (Decrease)
(In millions, except percentages)	June 29, 2012		July 1, 2011		Dollar Increase (Decrease)		Percentage Increase (Decrease)

Segment service revenues		5.4		4.8		0.6		12.6	%

Total revenues	$	76.1	$	52.1	$	24.1		46.2	%

Commercial networks segment revenue increased approximately $24.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, primarily due to an increase in product revenues of approximately $23.5 million, comprising a $20.1 million increase in consumer broadband products, a $1.5 million increase in satellite payload technology development programs and a $1.3 million increase in satellite networking development programs.

Segment operating loss


	Three Months Ended						Dollar (Increase) Decrease		Percentage (Increase) Decrease
(In millions, except percentages)	June 29, 2012			July 1, 2011			Dollar (Increase) Decrease		Percentage (Increase) Decrease
Segment operating loss	$	(2.1	)	$	(3.2	)	$	1.2		36.1	%
Percentage of segment revenues		(2.7	)%		(6.2	)%

The decrease in our commercial networks segment operating loss in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to the same period last fiscal year was primarily due to higher earnings contributions of approximately $5.5 million from increased revenues and improved margins in our consumer broadband products, offset by an increase in selling, support and new business proposal costs of $2.8 million and higher IR&D costs of $1.5 million.

Government systems segment

Revenues


	Three Months Ended				Dollar Increase (Decrease)		Percentage Increase (Decrease)
(In millions, except percentages)	June 29, 2012		July 1, 2011		Dollar Increase (Decrease)		Percentage Increase (Decrease)
Segment product revenues	$	76.4	$	74.6	$	1.8		2.5	%
Segment service revenues		29.9		11.6		18.3		158.2	%

Total revenues	$	106.3	$	86.2	$	20.1		23.4	%

Total revenues in our government systems segment increased approximately $20.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to the same period last fiscal year due to an increase in service revenues of $18.3 million and an increase in product revenues of $1.8 million. The increase in service revenues was primarily due to a revenue increase of $17.5 million in government satellite communication systems services (mainly attributable to broadband networking services revenues for military customers). The increase in product revenues was primarily due to revenue increases of $4.1 million in government satellite communication systems and $1.0 million in tactical data link products, offset by a revenue decrease of $4.2 million in information assurance products.

Segment operating profit


	Three Months Ended						Dollar Increase (Decrease)		Percentage Increase (Decrease)
(In millions, except percentages)	June 29, 2012			July 1, 2011			Dollar Increase (Decrease)		Percentage Increase (Decrease)
Segment operating profit	$	14.9		$	7.4		$	7.5		101.4	%
Percentage of segment revenues		14.0	%		8.6	%

The increase in our government systems segment operating profit of $7.5 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 was primarily due to higher earnings contributions of approximately $8.9 million mainly in our government satellite communication systems, offset by higher selling, support and new business proposal costs of approximately $1.7 million.

Backlog

As reflected in the table below, both firm and funded backlog increased during the first three months of fiscal year 2013 due to increases in the government systems and satellite services segments.


	As of June 29, 2012		As of March 30, 2012
	(In millions)
Firm backlog
Satellite Services segment	$	25.6	$	10.9
Commercial Networks segment		311.4		323.0
Government Systems segment		368.2		284.6

Total	$	705.2	$	618.5

Funded backlog
Satellite Services segment	$	25.6	$	10.9
Commercial Networks segment		311.4		323.0
Government Systems segment		329.6		266.6

Total	$	666.6	$	600.5

The firm backlog does not include contract options. Of the $705.2 million in firm backlog, approximately $409.9 million is expected to be delivered during the remaining nine months of fiscal year 2013, and the balance is expected to be delivered in fiscal year 2014 and thereafter. We include in our backlog only those orders for which we have accepted purchase orders.

Our total new awards were $332.6 million and $253.6 million in the three months ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011, respectively.

Backlog is not necessarily indicative of future sales. A majority of our contracts can be terminated at the convenience of the customer. 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 contract.

Firm 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 we do not control the funding of our contracts, our experience indicates that actual contract fundings have ultimately been approximately equal to the aggregate amounts of the contracts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We have financed our operations to date primarily with cash flows from operations, bank line of credit financing, debt financing and equity financing. At June 29, 2012, we had $129.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, $317.1 million in working capital and no outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility. At March 30, 2012, we had $172.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, $327.1 million in working capital and no outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility. We invest our cash in excess of current operating requirements in short-term, interest-bearing, investment-grade securities.

The general cash needs of our satellite services, commercial networks and government systems segments can vary significantly. The cash needs of our satellite services segment tend to be driven primarily by the timing of payment of capital expenditures (e.g., under satellite construction and launch contracts) and of network expansion activities, as well as the quality of customer, type of contract and payment terms. In our commercial networks segment, cash needs tend to be driven primarily by the type and mix of contracts in backlog, the nature and quality of customers, and the payment terms of customers (including whether advance payments are made or customer financing is required). In our government systems segment, the primary factors determining cash needs tend to be the type and mix of contracts in backlog (i.e., product or service, development or production) and timing of payments (including restrictions on the timing of cash payments under U.S. government procurement regulations). Other factors affecting the cash needs of our commercial networks and government systems segments include contract duration and program performance. For example, if a program is performing well and meeting its contractual requirements, then its cash flow requirements are usually lower.

To further enhance our liquidity position, we may obtain additional financing, which could consist of debt, convertible debt or equity financing from public and/or private capital markets. In March 2010, we filed a universal shelf registration statement with the SEC for the future sale of an unlimited amount of debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants and rights. The securities may be offered from time to time, separately or together, directly by us, by selling security holders, or through underwriters, dealers or agents at amounts, prices, interest rates and other terms to be determined at the time of the offering.

Our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including the timing and amount of cash required for future broadband satellite projects we may engage in, 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 or additional financing. We believe that our current cash balances and net cash expected to be provided by operating activities along with availability under our Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Cash flows

Cash provided by operating activities for the first three months of fiscal year 2013 was $0.8 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $8.9 million for the first three months of fiscal year 2012. This $8.1 million decrease was primarily driven by our operating results (net loss adjusted for depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges), which generated $16.8 million of higher cash outflows. The increase in cash outflows was primarily due to the significant operating costs we incurred during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 in connection with the launch and roll out of our ViaSat-1 satellite and related ground infrastructure and the commencement of our Exede internet services, including costs associated with our sales and marketing efforts, commissions, and other operating costs, which have negatively impacted income from operations.

Cash used in investing activities for the first three months of fiscal year 2013 was $43.2 million compared to cash used in investing activities for the first three months in fiscal year 2012 of $40.7 million. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily related to an approximately $2.2 million increase in cash used for next-generation consumer broadband capital software development.

Cash used in financing activities for the first three months of fiscal year 2013 was $0.2 million compared to cash provided by financing activities of $17.3 million for the first three months of fiscal year 2012. This $17.5 million decrease in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to the absence of borrowings under our Credit Facility during the first three months of fiscal

year 2013 compared to $15.0 million in borrowings under our Credit Facility during the first three months of fiscal year 2012. Cash (used in) provided by financing activities for both periods included cash received from stock option exercises and employee stock purchase plan purchases, and cash used for the repurchase of common stock related to net share settlement of certain employee tax liabilities in connection with the vesting of restricted stock unit awards.

Satellite service-related activities

Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, we have incurred higher operating costs in connection with the launch and roll out of our ViaSat-1 satellite and related ground infrastructure and, beginning in January 2012, the launch of our Exede internet services. These higher operating costs have included costs associated with depreciation, connectivity to the ViaSat-1 gateways, advertising and marketing, commissions, logistics, customer care and various support systems. These higher operating costs have negatively impacted income from operations during the past six quarters as the costs incurred were higher than incremental revenue generated by our satellite services segment. Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, we expect the total number of subscribers of our Exede internet services will grow, and the resultant increase in service revenues in our satellite services segment will improve income from operations for that segment. However, there can be no assurance that this will occur.

In addition, since January 2012, we have experienced higher interest expense as we no longer capitalize the interest expense relating to the debt incurred to build ViaSat-1 and the related gateway and networking equipment now that ViaSat-1 is in service, and our interest expense is higher due to the issuance of $275.0 million of 2020 Notes in February 2012. We also expect our capital expenditures to increase during the remainder of fiscal year 2013 as a result of increased subscriber acquisition costs relating to the expected increase in the number of subscribers of our Exede internet services and our expected commencement of construction of additional high-capacity satellite.

We are involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including actions with respect to intellectual property claims and other matters. See “Legal Proceedings” in Item 1 for a discussion of certain patent infringement litigation involving Space Systems/Loral, Inc. (SS/L) and its parent company Loral Space & Communications, Inc. (Loral), a related party. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because we expect to incur costs, which may vary based on interim rulings, discovery and other related activities. In addition, it is possible that an unfavorable resolution of one or more such proceedings could in the future materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity in a particular period.

Credit Facility

As of June 29, 2012, the Credit Facility provided a revolving line of credit of $325.0 million (including up to $50.0 million of letters of credit) with a maturity date of May 9, 2017. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, at either (1) the highest of the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, the Eurodollar rate plus 1.00% or the administrative agent’s prime rate as announced from time to time, or (2) the Eurodollar rate plus, in the case of each of (1) and (2), an applicable margin that is based on our total leverage ratio. The Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of our respective assets. The Credit Facility contains financial covenants regarding a maximum total leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. In addition, the Credit Facility contains covenants that restrict, among other things, our ability to sell assets, make investments and acquisitions, make capital expenditures, grant liens, pay dividends and make certain other restricted payments. At June 29, 2012, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and $17.0 million outstanding under standby letters of credit, leaving borrowing availability under the Credit Facility as of June 29, 2012 of $308.0 million.

Senior Notes due 2016

In October 2009, we issued $275.0 million in principal amount of 2016 Notes in a private placement to institutional buyers. The 2016 Notes were exchanged in May 2010 for substantially identical 2016 Notes that had been registered with the SEC. The 2016 Notes bear interest at the rate of 8.875% per year, payable semi-annually in cash in arrears, which interest payments commenced in March 2010. The 2016 Notes were issued with an original issue discount of 1.24%, or $3.4 million. The 2016 Notes are recorded as long-term debt, net of original issue discount, in our consolidated financial statements. The original issue discount and deferred financing cost associated with the issuance of the 2016 Notes are amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the 2016 Notes.

The 2016 Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by each of our existing and future subsidiaries that guarantees the Credit Facility (the Guarantor Subsidiaries). The 2016 Notes and the guarantees are our and the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ general senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of their existing and future unsecured unsubordinated debt. The 2016 Notes and the guarantees are effectively junior in right of payment to their existing and future secured debt, including under the Credit Facility (to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt), are structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the 2016 Notes, and are senior in right of payment to all of their existing and future subordinated indebtedness.

The indenture governing the 2016 Notes limits, among other things, our and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to: incur, assume or guarantee additional debt; issue redeemable stock and preferred stock; pay dividends, make distributions or redeem or repurchase capital stock; prepay, redeem or repurchase subordinated debt; make loans and investments; grant or incur liens; restrict dividends, loans or asset transfers from restricted subsidiaries; sell or otherwise dispose of assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; reduce our satellite insurance; and consolidate or merge with, or sell substantially all of their assets to, another person.

Prior to September 15, 2012, we may redeem up to 35% of the 2016 Notes at a redemption price of 108.875% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date, from the net cash proceeds of specified equity offerings. We may also redeem the 2016 Notes prior to September 15, 2012, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the applicable premium and any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date. The applicable premium is calculated as the greater of: (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of such 2016 Notes and (ii) the excess, if any, of (a) the present value at such date of redemption of (1) the redemption price of such 2016 Notes on September 15, 2012 plus (2) all required interest payments due on such 2016 Notes through September 15, 2012 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the date of redemption), computed using a discount rate equal to the treasury rate (as defined under the indenture) plus 50 basis points, over (b) the then-outstanding principal amount of such 2016 Notes. The 2016 Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time during the twelve months beginning on September 15, 2012 at a redemption price of 106.656%, during the twelve months beginning on September 15, 2013 at a redemption price of 104.438%, during the twelve months beginning on September 15, 2014 at a redemption price of 102.219%, and at any time on or after September 15, 2015 at a redemption price of 100%, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date.

In the event a change of control occurs (as defined under the indenture), each holder will have the right to require us to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or larger integral multiples of $1,000) of such holder’s 2016 Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2016 Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

Senior Notes due 2020

In February 2012, we issued $275.0 million in principal amount of 2020 Notes in a private placement to institutional buyers. The 2020 Notes bear interest at the rate of 6.875% per year, payable semi-annually in cash in arrears, which interest payments commenced in June 2012. The 2020 Notes are recorded as long-term debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The 2020 Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The 2020 Notes and the guarantees are our and the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ general senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of their existing and future unsecured unsubordinated debt. The 2020 Notes and the guarantees are effectively junior in right of payment to their existing and future secured debt, including under the Credit Facility (to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt), are structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the 2020 Notes, and are senior in right of payment to all of their existing and future subordinated indebtedness.

The indenture governing the 2020 Notes limits, among other things, our and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to: incur, assume or guarantee additional debt; issue redeemable stock and preferred stock; pay dividends, make distributions or redeem or repurchase capital stock; prepay, redeem or repurchase subordinated debt; make loans and investments; grant or incur liens; restrict dividends, loans or asset transfers from restricted subsidiaries; sell or otherwise dispose of assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; reduce our satellite insurance; and consolidate or merge with, or sell substantially all of their assets to, another person.

Prior to June 15, 2015, we may redeem up to 35% of the 2020 Notes at a redemption price of 106.875% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date, from the net cash proceeds of specified equity offerings. We may also redeem the 2020 Notes prior to June 15, 2016, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the applicable premium and any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date. The applicable premium is calculated as the greater of: (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of such 2020 Notes and (ii) the excess, if any, of (a) the present value at such date of redemption of (1) the redemption price of such 2020 Notes on June 15, 2016 plus (2) all required interest payments due on such 2020 Notes through June 15, 2016 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the date of redemption), computed using a discount rate equal to the treasury rate (as defined under the indenture) plus 50 basis points, over (b) the then-outstanding principal amount of such 2020 Notes. The 2020 Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time during the twelve months beginning on June 15, 2016 at a redemption price of 103.438%, during the twelve months beginning on June 15, 2017 at a redemption price of 101.719%, and at any time on or after June 15, 2018 at a redemption price of 100%, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date.

In the event a change of control occurs (as defined under the indenture), each holder will have the right to require us to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or larger integral multiples of $1,000) of such holder’s 2020 Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

In connection with the private placement of the 2020 Notes, we and the Guarantor Subsidiaries entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers in which we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC to permit the holders to exchange or resell the 2020 Notes. We must use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate an exchange offer within one year after the issuance of the 2020 Notes or, under certain circumstances, to prepare and file a shelf registration statement to cover the resale of the 2020 Notes. If we and the Guarantor Subsidiaries do not comply with certain of our obligations under the registration

rights agreement, the registration rights agreement provides that additional interest will accrue on the principal amount of the 2020 Notes at a rate of 0.25% per annum during the 90-day period immediately following such default and will increase by 0.25% per annum at the end of each subsequent 90-day period, but in no event will the penalty rate exceed 1.00% per annum. Subsequent to the quarter end, we launched an exchange offer for the 2020 Notes on July 26, 2012, which is scheduled to expire on August 23, 2012.

⁽¹⁾	Includes the 2016 Notes and 2020 Notes.

We purchase components from a variety of suppliers and use several subcontractors and contract manufacturers to provide design and manufacturing services for our products. During the normal course of business, we enter into agreements with subcontractors, contract manufacturers and suppliers that either allow them to procure inventory based upon criteria defined by us or that establish the parameters defining our requirements. In certain instances, these agreements allow us the option to cancel, reschedule and adjust our requirements based on our business needs prior to firm orders being placed. Consequently, only a portion of our reported purchase commitments arising from these agreements are firm, non-cancelable and unconditional commitments.

Under our satellite construction contract with SS/L for ViaSat-1, based on estimates as of June 29, 2012, the remaining amount of satellite performance incentives and related interest that we may be required to pay during the period until December 2026 is approximately $39.0 million. We have also entered into an agreement with a supplier for an additional satellite launch which can be used for a future satellite.

Our condensed consolidated balance sheets included $54.6 million and $50.4 million of “other liabilities” as of June 29, 2012 and March 30, 2012, respectively, which primarily consisted of our long-term portion of satellite performance incentives obligation, long-term warranty obligations, long-term portion of deferred rent, long-term portion of deferred revenue, long-term deferred income taxes and long-term unrecognized tax position liabilities. With the exception of our long-term portion of our satellite performance incentives obligation, these remaining liabilities have been excluded from the above table as the timing and/or the amount of any cash payment is uncertain. See Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our income taxes and related tax positions, and Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our product warranties.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no material off-balance sheet arrangements at June 29, 2012 as defined in Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4) other than as discussed under Contractual Obligations above or disclosed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report or in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 30, 2012.

Recent Authoritative Guidance

presentation of reclassification adjustments indefinitely as a result of concerns raised by stakeholders that the new presentation requirements would be difficult for preparers and add unnecessary complexity to financial statements. The authoritative guidance (other than the portion regarding the presentation of reclassification adjustments which, as noted above, has been deferred indefinitely) became effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, we retrospectively adopted the new accounting standard for the presentation of comprehensive income in financial statements which resulted in the presentation of a total for comprehensive income (loss), and the components of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) in one statement. The adoption of this standard only changed how we present comprehensive income (loss) and did not impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (ASC 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The new authoritative guidance simplifies how an entity tests goodwill for impairment. The new authoritative guidance allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The two-step quantitative impairment test is required only if, based on its qualitative assessment, an entity determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. This authoritative guidance is effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted if an entity’s financial statements for the more recent interim and annual period have not yet been issued. We early adopted this authoritative guidance in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012. Adoption of this authoritative guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (ASC 210): Disclosures about offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The new authoritative guidance requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments in the scope of this authoritative guidance. This authoritative guidance will be effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 and should be applied retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact that this authoritative guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest rate risk

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, and short-term and long-term obligations, including the Credit Facility and the Senior Notes. We consider investments in highly liquid instruments purchased with a remaining maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of June 29, 2012, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility and $550.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Senior Notes, and we held no short-term investments. Our Senior Notes bear interest at a fixed rate and therefore, our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to borrowings under our Credit Facility, cash equivalents, short-term investments and short-term obligations.

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing the income we receive from our investments without significantly increasing risk. To minimize this risk, we maintain a significant portion of our cash balance in money market funds. In general, money market funds are not subject to interest rate risk because the interest paid on such funds fluctuates with the prevailing interest rate. Our cash and cash equivalents earn interest at variable rates. Given recent declines in interest rates, our interest income has been and may continue to be negatively impacted. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. If the underlying weighted average interest rate on our cash and cash equivalents, assuming balances remain constant over a year, changed by 50 basis points, interest income would have increased or decreased by approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011, respectively. Because our investment policy restricts us to invest in conservative, interest-bearing investments and because our business strategy does not rely on generating material returns from our investment portfolio, we do not expect our market risk exposure on our investment portfolio to be material.

Our primary interest rate under the Credit Facility is the Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin that is based on our total leverage ratio. As of June 29, 2012, the weighted average effective interest rate that would have been applied to any new borrowings under the Credit Facility was approximately 2.75%. As of June 29, 2012, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility. Accordingly, assuming the outstanding balance remained constant over a year, changes in interest rates applicable to our Credit Facility would have no effect on our interest incurred and cash flow.

Foreign exchange risk

We generally conduct our business in U.S. dollars. However, as our international business is conducted in a variety of foreign currencies, we are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Our objective in managing our exposure to foreign currency risk is to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Accordingly, from time to time, we may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate risks associated with foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities, commitments and anticipated foreign currency transactions.

As of June 29, 2012, we had a number of foreign currency forward contracts outstanding which are intended to reduce the foreign currency risk for amounts payable to vendors in Euros. The foreign currency forward contracts with a notional amount of $10.2 million had a fair value of approximately $0.6 million and were recorded in accrued liabilities as of June 29, 2012. If the foreign currency forward rate for the Euro to the U.S. dollar on these foreign currency forward contracts had changed by 10%, the fair value of these foreign currency forward contracts as of June 29, 2012 would have changed by approximately $0.9 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the objective that information in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified and pursuant to the requirements of the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 29, 2012, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 29, 2012.

During the period covered by this Quarterly Report, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On February 1, 2012, we filed a complaint against SS/L and its parent company Loral in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California for patent infringement and breach of contract relating to the manufacture of ViaSat-1. We allege, among other things, that SS/L and Loral infringed U.S. Patent Nos. 8,107,875, 8,010,043, 8,068,827 and 7,773,942 by making, using, offering to sell and/or selling other high-capacity broadband satellites, and have requested monetary damages, injunctive relief and other remedies. On June 15, 2012, SS/L filed counterclaims against ViaSat for patent infringement and declaratory relief. Specifically, SS/L seeks a judicial declaration that SS/L did not breach the parties’ contract for the manufacture of ViaSat-1, that SS/L does not infringe the ViaSat patents described above, and that those patents are invalid and/or unenforceable. SS/L also alleges that ViaSat infringed U.S. Patent Nos. 6,879,808, 6,400,696 and 7,219,132 by providing broadband internet service by means of the Anik F2 satellite using ViaSat satellite gateways and satellite user terminals and has induced others to infringe by selling certain ground equipment and user terminals.

From time to time, we are involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including actions with respect to intellectual property claims, breach of contract claims, labor and employment claims, tax and other matters. Although claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and their results cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the resolution of our current pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. In addition, it is possible that an unfavorable resolution of one or more such proceedings could in the future materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity in a particular period.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2012, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, liquidity or future results. The risks described in our reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q are not the only risks facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity or future results.
