CUBIC CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

June 30, 2002

Note 1  Basis for Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete
financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2002. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
September 30, 2001.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Eventual results may differ from these estimates.

Note 2  Per Share Amounts and Stock Split

Per share amounts are based upon the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding, after retroactive adjustments to reflect a 3-for-1 stock split
which occurred in April 2002.

Note 3  Inventories

Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

Note 4  Change in Accounting

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinationsand No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill will no longer be
amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the
Statements.

As allowed by early adoption provisions, the Company began applying the new
rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets effective October
1, 2001. The following table presents a reconciliation of net income and per
share data to what would have been reported had the new rules been in effect
during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2001 (in thousands,
except per share data):

Note 5  New Accounting Pronouncement

In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (FAS 144), Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.FAS 144 establishes a single model to
account for impairment of assets to be held or disposed, incorporating
guidelines for accounting and disclosure of discontinued operations.
FAS 144 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and, generally,
its provisions are to be applied prospectively. Management believes the impact
on the financial statements of the Company will be immaterial.

Note 8  Business Segment Information

Business segment financial data is as follows (in millions). Certain prior year
costs related to the
development of smart card technology have been reclassified from other profit
to the transportation systems segment to conform to current year
classification. The effect of this change was to decrease transportation
systems operating profit and increase other profit by approximately $1,100,000
and $400,000 for the nine months and three months ended June 30, 2001,
respectively.

CUBIC CORPORATION
ITEM 2  MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

June 30, 2002

Forward-Looking Statements

In addition to historical matters, this report contains forward-looking
statements. They can be
identified by words such as may, likely, anticipate, hope, estimate, plan,
potential, promising, feel, expect, should,and confident.These
forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of
the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties which may affect the
Companys
business and prospects. These include the effects of politics on negotiations
and business dealings with government entities, reductions in defense budgets,
economic conditions in the various countries in which the Company does or hopes
to do business, competition and technology changes in the defense and
transportation industries, and other competitive and technological factors.

Results of Operations

Sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2002 were approximately 11% higher
than for the same period in fiscal 2001, as the result of higher sales in both
the defense and transportation systems segments. Transportation systems sales
for the third quarter were up significantly from the prior year, while sales in
the defense segment increased only slightly in the quarter.

Transportation segment sales increased in the current year due to an increase
in work on contracts in North America which had been awarded to the Company in
previous quarters and due to an increase in activity on the Prestige project in
London. These sales increases in the quarter and for the first nine months of
the fiscal year more than offset lower sales from contracts in the Far East.

As discussed the last two quarters, the Company acquired a new facility south
of London in order to gain greater efficiency by bringing operations in the
region together into one facility. This new building is currently being
outfitted and is expected to be occupied by the end of the calendar year. In
connection with this consolidation of operations, the Company recorded a
provision of $900,000 in the first quarter for severance costs related to the
planned closing of a facility in western England. Of this amount, approximately
$300,000 was expended during the quarter ended June 30, 2002, bringing the
total spent to date to $450,000. Management believes the balance of $450,000
will be adequate to cover the remaining costs of this facility closure.

Operating profits in the transportation segment were higher for both the third
quarter and the first nine months of the year. Higher sales volume contributed
to increased profits in the third quarter, although the increase was somewhat
offset by legal costs incurred in connection with the Companys dispute of a
contract tender in Australia. For the first nine months of the year, higher
operating profits resulted from the higher sales volume, but were partially
offset by the legal costs and the severance costs mentioned above.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  continued

The increase in defense segment sales for the third quarter and first nine
months of the year resulted primarily from continued growth of the Companys
defense service businesses, both
computerized battlefield simulation and operations and maintenance. In
addition, new multiple integrated laser engagement system (WLES) contracts won
in the past year added to the growth of the segment. Increased operating
profits in the segment resulted from the above sales increases, in addition to
higher profit margins from communications and MILES products.

Selling, general and administrative costs were higher for both the third
quarter and for the first nine months of the year, primarily due to an increase
in selling costs and the legal costs
mentioned above. Selling costs increased in both segments as the Company
pursued new transportation systems opportunities, especially in Europe, and
increased its efforts to obtain new defense business as well.

Other profits in the first nine months were higher last year than in the
current year, primarily as a result of the sale of certain marketable
securities at a profit last year. Lower interest rates on the Companys cash
investments also contributed to the reduction of other profits this year.

Total backlog, including un-funded customer orders, increased to $1,180,000,000
at June 30, 2002, compared to $1,095,000,000 at September 30, 2001 and
$1,092,000,000 at June 30, 2001. Included in the above amounts was funded
backlog of $822,000,000 at June 30, 2002, $738,000,000 at September 30, 2001
and $745,000,000 at June 30, 2001.

Critical Accounting Policies. Estimates and .Judgments

The Companys financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles that
are generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial
statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management
continually evaluates its estimates and judgments, the most critical of which
are those related to revenue recognition, costs to complete contracts,
valuation of goodwill and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and
judgments on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances. Eventual results may differ from these
estimates.

CUBIC CORPORATION
ITEM 2  MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  continued

June 30, 2002

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating activities for the first nine months of the year resulted in positive
cash flows, however, growth in long-term contract accounts receivable and
inventories during the period had the effect of limiting operating cash flows.
These increases in receivables and inventories represent normal fluctuations
due to the timing of customer payments and the transfer of inventoried costs to
contracts and also reflect the growth in revenues during the year. Although
cash flows from operations are not expected to pick up significantly for the
remainder of the fiscal year, the Company expects that cash flows from
operations will increase in the next fiscal year.

The building acquisition mentioned above was the primary use of cash from
investing activities during the first nine months of the fiscal year. The only
significant financing activity was the payment of a semi-annual cash dividend
to shareholders in the second quarter.

The Companys financial condition remains strong with working capital of $196
million and a current ratio of 3.1 at June 30, 2002. The Company expects that
cash on hand and its unused debt capacity will be adequate to meet its working
capital requirements for the foreseeable future.
