Microwave Data Systems is pleased to announce the availabil-
ity of our new MDS 2100 Series of hot -standby, full -duplex
multiple address radios. These rack mounted radios can be
utilized as master stations, repeaters or polling remote radios.
The MDS 2100 Series features a new chassis design which
provides improvements in serviceability, diagnostics and relia-
bility. These new radios are based upon the proven design of
the highly successful MDS 1000 Series of multiple address
master stations, and include all of the high performance trans-
mitter, receiver and data handling characteristics of the MDS
1000 radios. All MDS 2100 Series radios are system compat-
ible with MDS 1000 remote and master station radios, and are
interchangeable with MDS 1000 Series radios in multiple ad-
dress systems.
MDS 2100 Series radios offer radio system design flexibility
with the availability of many data and diagnostic options. The
standard data interface is compatible with 4 -wire audio circuits
up to 9600 bps with optional alternatives of a Bell 202 1200
baud compatible internal modem, a 300-4800 bps digital inter-
face or a high speed 9600 bps digital interface. In addition,
ICROWAVE
when the "SMART' Option is ordered with an MDS 2100 Series
radio, new advanced diagnostic capabilities are available,
which take advantage of the MDS 2100 Series' expanded
microprocessor capabilities. These capabilities, and the up-
graded software that is available with every MDS 2100 Series
"SMART" package can turn an MDS 2100 "SMART" master
station into a remotely controlled diagnostic and control tool for
the entire radio system. Both the MDS 2100 Series "SMART'
master stations and their associated remote units can be re-
motely tested using this software. The new capabilities of this
software are explained in further detail in this brochure.
For operators of large and complex systems, MDS offers an
expanded version of our optional proprietary control and diag-
nostic software that features scheduled diagnostic polling of
multiple master stations and associated remotes. The data
collected may be analyzed and charted from within the power-
ful MDS software package, including the display of trend lines
superimposed over actual data measurements.
A one-year factory warranty on parts and labor is standard for
all MDS MDS 2100 models.

TYPICAL MULTIPLE ADDRESS SYSTEM
Multiple Address Systems (MAS) provide communications
between a central command and control site and remote data
units. The diagram on the right shows a typical radio communi-
cations system designed to provide reliable connections be-
tween the master control point and the many remote data col-
lection and control sites. In the U.S.A., an MAS radio system
must have a minimum of four remote locations. Repeater
configurations are also possible.
BASIC EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
Antennas—For the master, an omni -directional antenna. For
the remotes, a highly directional antenna—typically, a
yagi— aimed at the master station's location.
Tower—Or other structure, such as a mast, may be required to
support the antenna and transmission line.
Transmission Line—Low-loss coaxial cable connecting the
antenna and the radio.
MDS 2100 Master Station Radio—Interfaces with the central
computer. Transmits & receives data from remote radio
sites. Can request diagnostic information from remote
transceivers. Master radio may also serve as a repeater.
MDS 2310 Remote Radio Transceiver—Interfaces to the
remote data unit. Receives and transmits data to the
master radio.
Personal Computer—May be connected to MDS 2100 master
station's diagnostic system either directly, or remotely, for
control and collection of diagnostic information from master
and remote radios.

MDS' DIAGNOSTIC AND CONTROL SOFTWARE OPTION C�.
When a "SMART" MDS 2100 Master Station is connected to a personal computer running Microwave Data Systems' exclusive diag-
nostic and control software, the built-in diagnostics system provides reporting and control of the master station radio and the collec-
tion of diagnostic data from all properly equipped remotes in the system.
System diagnostic capabilities for the "SMART" master station
include monitoring of alarm status, as well as key operational
parameters of each receiver, transmitter and power supply
module. In addition, the system features the ability to remotely
test the hot -standby switchover and alarm reporting logic.
Diagnostic information on remote radios is also available via
the master station. Data available includes: power out, signal
strength, deviation, frequency and voltage measurements.
Each MDS 2100 "SMART" Master Station can be selectively
addressed through one common communication channel for
collection of diagnostic data from all radios in the system.
Basic "SMART" Features—
• Remote monitoring of master station operation
• Centralized collection of operational data from remote radios
via the master station
• System -wide data collection and archiving on -demand
• Pass-thru diagnostics for repeater based system (Consult
factory for availability.)
Optional Extended "SMART" Features—
• Polling of master stations and remote radios on -demand or
as scheduled. Data collected can be automatically stored..
• Statistical analysis & trend reporting of diagnostic and alarm
data from within MDS' software package.

MDS announces a new version of our highly successful Remote
Radio Package. Now called the MDS 1000µ-P, this radio package
features our new MDS 1 O00µ "SMART" data transceiver along with
a power supply, transient protection circuitry and battery backup
(AC powered models) in a NEMA 4X enclosure. The NEMA 4X
enclosure is designed for harsh weather conditions and environments
which require a high level of transient protection. The MDS 1000µ-P
can be equipped for AC or DC operation.
All of the features of the new half -duplex MDS 1O00µ "SMART" data
transceiver are included in the MDS 1 O00µ -P. This includes an
internal microprocessor which provides the capability to program the
operating frequencies of the radio, as well as other operational para-
meters, such as the time -out -timer. This programming is done
through the DB25 pin connector, eliminating the need to open the
cover of the radio module. In addition to it's programming capabili-
ties, the MDS 1000µ also provides actual readings on other radio
operational parameters, such as signal strength (in dBm) and power
output (in watts).
I ROWAVE
Other features of the MDS 100Aµ -P include signal strength detection,
unrestricted continuous duty transmitters, 1.5 PPM frequency stability
for both transmit and receive, and an exclusive AFC circuit for close
netting of remote units to their master stations. This exclusive AFC
feature optimizes the ability of the radio system to work in weak signal
areas, while minimizing bit errors.
MDS also offers a full -duplex, non -"SMART" radio in this same NEMA
4X enclosure called the MDS 1000P -FD. The MDS 1000P -FD fea-
tures the radio modules from the MDS 1000 -HS master station, mak-
ing the MDS 1 OOOP-FD a very cost-effective remote, repeater or
master station. Specifications for this radio package are available
from Microwave Data Systems.
Data handling options are available for both the MDS 1 OOOµ-P or the
MDS 1000P -FD, which allow 4800 bps asynchronous or 9600 bps
synchronous or asynchronous communications in either 12.5 or 25
kHz channels through standard RS232, RS422 or TTL interfaces
without the use of internal or external modems.
All MDS 1000 units feature a one-year warranty.

MDS announces our new MDS 1000µ, microprocessor
controlled "SMART" data transceiver. This new radio fea-
tures the same high performance receiver and transmitter
specifications as the highly successful MDS 1000. The
MDS 100011 also features an internal microprocessor con-
trol and monitoring system which allows the user to pro-
gram the operating frequency of the transmitter and re-
ceiver, as well as other operational parameters, such as
time -out -timer setting and loopback code. This program-
ming can be done via either an MDS supplied hand-held
programmer/diagnostic test set, an IBM PC or compatible
computer using MDS supplied software, or a standard
terminal with an RS232 serial port. The internal micropro-
cessor also provides a verification of the frequency set-
tings and other operational parameters to the program-
ming device being used, eliminating the need to verify the
changes with additional test equipment.
In addition to its programming capabilities, the MDS 1O00µ
also provides actual readings on other operational para-
meters, such as transmitter power output (in watts),
receive signal strength (in dBm), and internal as well as
primary supply voltages, when the unit is equipped with
the optional diagnostic module.
The programming of the radio settings and the monitoring
of the operational parameters are all done through the
radio's DB25 data connector, eliminating the need to open
the cover of the radio. The MDS 1 O00µ radio is footprint _
and connector compatible with all existing MDS 1000 data
transceivers and requires the same low level of operating
current, making it ideal for solar powered applications. j
The MDS 1 O00µ is programmable in 6.25 kHz steps and is _
available with 12.5 KHz or 25 KHz bandwidth receivers to
accomodate all available point -multipoint channels in the
same radio. It can be provided with many of MDS' avail- —
able internal interface options, including 4 wire audio,
VOX, loopback, 1200 baud modem, or 4800 or 9600 bps
digital interfaces. A version of the MDS 1 O00µ is also _
available with Factory Mutual Certification for operation in
hazardous areas.
MDS 1 O00µ transceivers are rated for unrestricted con- _
tinuous duty operation, so they can be utilized as cost-
effective master stations as well as remote units. The size
of the MDS 1 O00µ transceiver makes it ideal for mounting
in many existing Remote Terminal Units and Flow Com- _
puter enclosures. In addition, all MDS 1 O00µ remote
transceivers feature an exclusive AFC circuit which locks
the unit's frequency to that of a corresponding master —
station. This optimizes the ability of the radio to work in
weak signal areas, while maximizing data throughput.
All MDS 1 O00µ units feature a one-year warranty.

COMPANY HISTORY
Microwave Data Systems was incorporated and became a subsidiary
of California Microwave, Inc. in November of 1985. MDS
specializes in the manufacture and sale of 928/952 MHz multiple
address telemetry radios. As such, all references and experience
are directly related to the manufacturing, installation, and
engineering of either 900 MHz multiple address systems or 900 MHz
! point-to-point data systems.
Since our inception six years ago, we have been actively engaged
in the manufacture, installation, and maintenance of 900 MHz
multiple address and point-to-point telemetry radio systems. Our
MDS 1000 series radios are the radio models that Microwave Data
Systems has manufactured since our inception. These products
have a four year history of successful field operation.
Over twenty thousand MDS 1000 series radios have been installed
in the field over the last four years. These installed radios
have achieved an actual field performance MTBF of well in excess
of 10 years.
In addition, Microwave Data Systems is the recognized performance
leader in the 900 MHz point-to-point field. Among the exclusive
features of MDS radios are:
;^. 1. The MDS 2000-HSu "SMART" Master Station, which features
w. advanced remote diagnostic capability.
�•• 2. 4800 and 9600 BPS digital radios which use an RS232, RS422
or TTL interface and work in the new 12.5 KHz bandwidth
E channels.
3. Radio receivers which lead the industry in:
- intermod rejection
spur and image rejection
- sensitivity
4. MDS 960 Series Point -to -Point radios with 1, 31 6 and 12

MDS 2000 ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS
FOR 900 MHz MULTIPLE ADDRESS RADIO SYSTEM
MDS 2000 System Diagnostics continuously monitor radio operation
and alarm parameters. The advanced diagnostic package
automatically polls all master station radios, repeaters and
t" remote radios. Alarm and status conditions are displayed for
immediate analysis of radio operation.
Diagnostic software is supplied to enable an IBM compatible
personal computer (PC) to communicate with the radio diagnostic
controller via a separate RS232 diagnostic port. The PC, with
MDS software, will serve as a central diagnostic reporting tool
for the entire multiple address radio system.. The .system
supports communications to 256 master/repeater radios, with up to
9,999 remote radios per master station.
The diagnostic package is able to communicate with all system
master stations, repeater stations and remote radios "on demand"
or on a prescheduled polling routine. Communication paths
between the PC and radios will use any combination of dial-up
modems, microwave links and the 900 MHz MAS channel.
Diagnostic data is transmitted from remote radios to the master
7C radio via the 900 MHz channel. Where repeaters are used, the
diagnostic data from the remote and from the repeater radio is
transmitted to the polling remote master radio on the same 900
MHz channel. A separate communication channel is not required.
All status and alarm information obtained from the MAS radio
system is displayed on CRT screens and, if required, saved to
data base files for future recall and analysis. As a minimum,
diagnostic screens are dedicated to display the following:
1) Radio Master Station Alarm Report (displays all
master/repeater stations with actual alarms.
2) Radio Master Station Polling Report (displays critical
status and alarm data for each radio as it is polled)
l;
3) Radio Master Station Status Report (displays complete
., status and configuration parameters of each radio)
4) Remote Radio Diagnostic Polling Report (displays all
diagnostic parameters from the remote radio and loopback
data of the remote as measured at the master)
5) Remote Radio Status Report (displays remote radio
�- diagnostics, loopback data and master station alarms for
E each radio as it is polled)
300 MAIN STREET EAST ROCHESTER, NEW YORK 14445 (716) 385-7560 FAX (716) 385-7923
6) Trend Displays (time vs variable plots) for any analog
parameter monitored by the diagnostic.system.
7) Histogram Displays (percent of samples vs variable plots
for any analog parameter monitored by the diagnostic
system).
Diagnostic Data and control functions include:
Master/Repeater Station Diagnostics
* Monitor the operation and status of redundant
transmitters, receivers and power supplies.
* Remotely switch to the alternate transmitter or
receiver.
* Remotely test the hot standby switchover logic and
alarm reporting logic.
* Monitor power supply voltage, current and transmitter
power of redundant power supplies and transmitters
* Monitor received signal strength, frequency offset and
FM deviation levels of both master station receivers
(Alarm and status indications are displayed on the front
panel of the radio.)

FACTORY TEST DATA
In order to deliver the highest quality radios to our customers,
Microwave Data Systems extensively tests radios before they are
shipped to the field. Our standard testing procedure includes the
following test on ALL radios.
1. Every radio circuit board is 100% electrically
tested.
2. Every radio printed circuit board is baked for 5
days at +750C to relieve thermal stresses.
3. Every radio module is tested on an automated
test station at ambient temperature to verify
that it meets all important operating
parameters.
4. Every radio module is then rapidly cooled to
-300C and tested at that temperature to verify
t that it meets all important operating parameters
at cold temperatures.
5. Every radio module is immediately heated to
+600C and is tested at that temperature to
verify that it meets all important operating
parameters at hot-
temperatures.
6. Every radio module is then allowed to reach
ambient temperature and is tested at that
temperature to assure that the operational
parameters as originally measured have not
changed.

Summary
Nations around the world contintie
to upgrade their communications
infrastructure and to deregulate or
privatize their telecommunications
entities. Galifornia Alicrowave is an
international supplier of satellite
communications, rnicrnra a radio
and intelligence systems
and equipment.
Memorandum
to Shareholders
The Cali fontia Microwave
radio vision forgravth is
centered in the system and
equipment products and
markets—satellite, elec-
tronic intelligence, micro-
%vave radio—in tvitich
ive cast inmterse ourselves
through the favorable
differentiation of our radio
communications technology
skills -antennas, propa-
gation, modulation, noise
and interference, frequency
control, electromagnetic
compatibility and packet
technology; A substantial
portion of our engineering
staff is devoted to software
issues, and our current
products are rich in micro-
processor and freld-
programmable gate
array technology
The Environment for Growth
California Microwave is strongly
differentiated in the satellite, elec-
tronic intelligence and wireless
communications markets by our
concentration on radio commu-
nications technology, and by
our ability to innovate through
entrepreneurial decentralization.
Over the past decade, the Com-
pany has added to its growth
through its investments in start-up
companies that have subsequently
been integrated into California
Microwave. The freedom of
decentralized organizations to
innovate has been pivotal to the
development of the company.
We are aided in our growth
efforts by a favorable strategic
environment in our markets.
Through the introduction of digi-
tal technology, satellite has main-
tained its share of international
telephone traffic, which has grown
500% since 1980. Sweeping world
political changes create oppor-
tunities in electronic intelligence
for companies that can respond
quickly with new technology.
Wireless communications appli-
cations are emerging as one of
the most promising growth areas
in electronics.
Financial Performance
California Microwave reported
record bookings, sales and earn-
ings for fiscal year 1991, which
closed June 30,1991. Revenues for
fiscal 1991 were $177.4 million,
with earnings per share of $0.93.
New orders booked totaled $183.5
million. The international area
provided most of the year's growth
in bookings and sales. Export
orders increased by 144% and
represented over 45% of total
bookings. Export sales grew by
70%, accounting for about one-
third of total revenues. Bookings
in electronic intelligence sys-
tems increased 214% over last
year, resulting in a 43% increase
in backlog in this area. As a result
of positive operating cash flow
2;
of $14.9 million, the Company
paid off all borrowings under its
bank lines of credit.
The combination of our pro-
prietary technology, the favorable
strategic environment for com-
munications, a strong balance
sheet and our continuity of
experienced management is a
foundation for continuing
financial growth.
Satellite Communications
The majority of our business
today is in the area of satellite
communications, which is
accomplished entirely by micro-
wave radio technology. We have
delivered thousands of satellite
earth stations that communicate
via geostationary satellites, and
have experienced rapid growth in
the area of international communi-
cations. International telephone
traffic has been projected to grow
at a 20% annual rate even in a
slow economy. Satellite commu-
nications is holding its market
share at approximately half of all
international circuits.
California Microwave, through
its subsidiaries Satellite Transmis-
sion Systems (STS) of Long Island,
NY, and Melbourne, FL, and
EFData of Tempe, AZ, is a leader in
earth stations and equipment for
INTELSAT International Digital
Route (IDR) digital telephony and
INTELSAT Business Service (IBS)
direct premise service. The Com-
pany is also a leader in the area of
satellite circuit restoral of undersea
fiber cable outages, and is, through
its Defense Products Division, the
supplier of frequency converters
for U.S. government defense satel-
lite earth stations.
Our major satellite communi-
cations customers include AT&T,
MCI, British Telecom, Mercury
(UK), Telefonica (Spain), and the
U. S. government (the largest user
of communications services in
the world). Growth opportunities
exist in the newly developing
Eastern Bloc countries, in Latin
America where communications
facilities are being privatized arra
deregulated, and in the Pacific I i
countries. For example, the Ck
pany is supplying satellite earth—
stations
arthstations and equipment to Arm .i,
and Romania, Argentina and
Chile, and to Thailand, Singapore,
Japan and China.
Electronic Intelligence
Communications technology is
also used in electronic intelliger—
for the U.S. and foreign partner
governments. California Micro=
wave, through its Government _
Electronics Division in Woodlar.
Hills, CA, and Belcamp, MD, is
gaining market share in airborne
and ground-based intelligence —
systems through the application
advanced communications and
computer technology, sized to be.-
carried
e_carried in small trucks and airplay ;
This strategic combination of
communications and computing
allows the Company to compete
effectively with companies who:
strength is centered on their expe-
rience with large airframes or
facilities. For an example, com
the size and power of today's
laptop computers with those of
a large computer of just a few
years ago.
Investor interest in the intel-
ligence area has been sparked by
our receipt during fiscal 1991 of
competitive contract awards, total-
ing some $30 million, in the new
area of small -airframe systems.
Wireless Data Networks
Wireless radio communications
technology provides portable anc^
mobile communications for voice
video and data. In the coming
decade, concepts demonstrated --
initially in the successes of
computer local area networking
and cellular telephony can make —
practical a personal wireless revo-
lution supporting a broad range
of pocket telephone and laptop
computer applications.
Radio communications net-
works provide instant access tc

difficult locations. Microwave
Data Systems, our Rochester, NY,
rdivision, has shipped some 20,000
sed data radios for use in
lkt4gy production and by public
water and power utilities. These
licensed data radios provide
a range of 20 miles to remote
computer terminals or to physical
measurement and control devices.
California Microwave's
RadioLink,' a product of the
Company's Telecommunications
3 Products Division in Sunnyvale,
CA, meets newly revised Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC) regulations permitting
unlicensed wireless computer
local area networks (LANs). The
Company has received an initial
contract to supply 500 units to
the English retail chain, Marks
and Spencer, via International
Computers, Ltd.
Interest in wireless data com-
munications has been fueled by
applications to the FCC seeking
allocation of new radio spectrum
ata communications and by
:)nsideration by European
to ecommunications authorities
of a common frequency band
for unlicensed data links in
Europe. Following the close of
the fiscal year, the Company
received U.S. FCC certification
of RadioLinV"
Organizational Evolution
The majority of California Micro-
wave's revenue today derives from
investments in the founding and
subsequent acquisition of radio
communications businesses. This
unusual strategic accomplishment
has prompted us to organize in
a very decentralized way to retain
the entrepreneurial drive of the
founders of the Company's suc-
cessful venture companies.
A guiding belief at California
Microwave is that the indepen-
dence of our organizations is the
context for innovation, creativ-
ity and entrepreneurship. The
()ss of this approach is seen
in our introduction, over the}
past four years;: of a ii4e of new
software -intensive digital prod-
ucts employing a high degree of
semiconductor integration. The
majority of our current financial
performance results from new
products, demonstrating the
power of this organizational and
investment approach.
In order to provide our
entrepreneur -founders with addi-
tional opportunity to exercise their
professional management capabil-
ities, the Company has made new
group executive appointments
in connection with the following
organizational changes:
- The Company has established
a new organization, the Satellite
Communications Group, with
STS founder David Hershberg as
its group president. This group, the
largest element of the Company,
consists of the operations of Satel-
lite Transmission Systems, Inc. and
the Government Communica-
tions Systems Division.
- A newly -established organiza-
tion, the Data Communications
Group, consists of EFData Corp.
plus the Telecommunications
Products Division. EFData found-
ing president and California
Microwave vice president Robert
Fitting has been appointed presi-
dent of the Data Communications
Group. Mr. Fitting has been suc-
ceeded as president of EFData by
co-founder Steven Eymann.
- The Defense Products Division
and the Government Electronics
Division have been paired in a
neworganization, the Govern-
ment Group, with Gilbert
Johnson as its group president.
The founder of the Government
Electronics Division, Joseph
Russell, will continue as the Com-
pany executive vice president
responsible for government
relations.
- To provide these executives an
opportunity for broader impact on
corporate issues, Mr. Hershberg
and Mr. Fitting join Mr. Johnson
in a new'Office of the President
reporting to the Chief Executive
Officer. All three officers will
continue to serve as Directors
of the Company.
The ComingYear
California Microwave enters the
new fiscal year buoyed by record
performance and by the intro-
duction of a number of important
products. The strength of our
investment and organizational
approach is being recognized, as
are the continuity, tenacity and
capability of our management.
Our balance sheet is extremely
strong, and we expect operations
to be at new record levels in the:
coming year.
The following sections are
intended to provide additional
insight into our products and the
strategic environments in which
we operate. Through proprietary
technology and diligent effort, our
vision is being realized. On behalf
of the officers and directors of
the Company, I extend my thanks
for the ongoing support of share-
holders, customers and staff

SATELLITE
COMMUNICATIONS
Systems and equipment for satel-
lite communications represent the
majority of California Microwave
product activities. Our growth in
this area has been due in large part
to the expansion of our participa-
tion in the internationaltelephony
and data communications arena.
The critical importance of tele-
communications to the national
infrastructure of every country
results in the substantial annual
growth rate of international cir-
cuits. In this area, satellite com-
munications is holding its share at
approximately half of all circuits.
For example, fiber optic cables are
projected to add capacity for 1.6
million additional international
circuits by 1997, while INTELSAT
(the 170 -country consortium that
provides international satellite ser-
vices) is expected to launch eight
more satellites by 1995 that will
add capacity for 30 television
channels and 1.1 million voice
circuits.
The two largest areas of interna-
tional satellite circuit growth are
INTELSAT International Digital
Route (IDR) digital telephony and
INTELSAT Business Service (IBS)

satellite application is illustrative
of a world-wide trend to technol-
ogy and route diversity to forestall
f concentrated breakdowns in
complex telephony networks.
Initial deliveries of 140 -megabit
modems have been for application
1 to transatlantic service. Because
of the vulnerability of cable to
undersea seismic activity, trans-
pacific cable restoral service is
' also expected to be a significant
market. Modems of this type are
also used in high definition tele-
vision (HDTV) distribution.
Additional momentum in the
international satellite area is
provided by the trend toward
privatization and deregulation of
1'�,onal telephone systems. For
WAriple, Argentina has taken the
dual steps of placing its formerly
government -run telephone
system under private ownership
and of deregulating to permit the
establishment of private com-
munications carriers on the model
of MCI or Mercury. Other Latin
American countries have also
moved in these directions, and the
Company is currently supplying
earth stations and equipment
to customers in Argentina, Chile
and Mexico.
Similar growth opportunities
exist for California Microwave in
the Eastern Bloc and Pacific Rim
countries, areas where demand
for communications capacity has
resulted from political changes
or economic development.
For example, we are supplying

ELECTRONIC
INTELLIGENCE
Electronic intelligence is the
discipline of characterizing or
monitoring the electronic trans-
missions of entities whose inteE-
ests may be counter to those of
one's own government.
As a leader in microwave
communications technology,
California Microwave also use:
its know-how to make substantial
contributions to U.S. govern
efforts in electronic intelligences
Changes in either communica-
tions practice or in the political _
sphere generate new requireme
in electronic intelligence.
The sweeping turnabout in
Eastern Bloc countries, under-
scored by the fall of the Berlin
Wall, resulted in the establishment
of a completely new set of intel
ligence requirements. Additiona
the 1991 Persian Gulf conflict pro-
vided a convincing demonstration
of the importance of defense elei

changes and economic realities
have resulted in a drastically
reduced U. S. defense budget,
the electronic intelligence and
communications segment of the
defense budget is projected to
increase over the coming years. This
is shown in the accompanying

lications.

In addition to the emergence
of the completely new set of
electronic intelligence priorities,
the requirement for timely delivery
of intelligence information now
intimately links electronic intelli-
gence with communications. The
dramatic examples of on -the -spot
network satellite television cover-
age from the Middle Fast give an
image of the comprehensive value
of mobile and portable communi-
cations in rapid -deployment mili-
tary situations.
The resolution of electronic
intelligence issues raised by the
Gulf conflict experience requires
quick reaction. The Company has
demonstrated its ability to provide,
almost overnight, assets required
for commercial network television
and for government intelligence'
and communications. This ability
to act quickly, a result of the focus
of our decentralized organizations,
positions California
Microwave to respond to
the new order of electronic
intelligence priorities.

WIRELESS
COMMUNICATIONS
California Microwave's strengths
in the radio communications area
position the Company to partici-
pate in the developing personal
radio revolution. In the coming
decade, personal pocket tele-
phones and communicating lap-
top computers can be made
practical by advances in wireless
communications technology.
This revolution can affect both the
consumer and the capital sectors,
even creating new electronic
intelligence requirements. In the;

wireless communications may
be the highest growth area in
electronics.
Wireless radio communications
technology finds natural uses in
portable and mobile applications.
Wireless methods also offer imme-
diate access, often to locations
inaccessible by any other method.
The success of the cellular tele-
phone underscores the demand for
wireless communications prod-
ucts. Requirements exist for voice,
video and data communications.
Until recently, radio communi-
cations equipment was potentially
sensitive to interference, a problem
requiring resolution through
frequency coordination and licens-
ing by government authorities.
Combining a knowledge of radio
regulations and technology,
Microwave Data Systems (MDS),
our Rochester, NY, division, has
shipped some 20,000 licensed
data radios for use in energy
production and by public water
and power utilities.
MDS data radios provide ser-
vice over a twenty -mile radius,
operating with a base station that
can support hundreds of remote
radios. Data from each remote
location is accessible to the central
master station, and each remote
unit can receive control com-
mands from the master. Remote
radios can be connected to a wide
range of data transducers, or d
can be used to connect remote
computer terminals to a central
computer
Additionally, remote units p.

The tax rate in 1988 and 1989 is
lower than in 1990 and 1991 due
principally to the fact that net
operating loss cavy forwards aris-
ing in 1987 were used to reduce
state income taxes in those years.
The differences between the statu-
tory income tax rates and the
effective income tax rates over the
past five years relate primarily to
foreign sales corporation tax bene-
_ fits offset by state income taxes.

Financial
Position
Liquidity: During 1991, the Com-
pany accomplished a record cash
flow from operations of $14.9 mil-
lion, or $11.5 million net of capital
expenditures. This enabled the
Company to pay off $9.1 million of
bank debt and to increase cash by
$2.8 million. Another significant
source of cash in 1991, $1.9 mil-
lion, was the proceeds from the
sale of Company common stock
to employees under on-going
stock option and purchase plans.
This volume of employee stock
purchases, nearly double that of
any prior year, was prompted by
the marked increase in the Com-
pany's stock price. The principal
use of cash in 1991, unrelated to
operations, capital equipment pur-
chases or debt repayment, was the
acquisition of the minority inter-
est in Microwave Data Systems,
acquired in November 1990. The
cash portion of this transaction
was $1.2 million.
The Company anticipates con-
tinued positive operational cash
flow in fiscal 1992 and believes
that cash flow, together with its
current and anticipated bank credit
lines, will be adequate to meet
the Company's requirements for
working capital, equipment pur-
chases, debt repayment, and exter-
nal investments for the foresee-
able future.
Cash equivalents consist of
highly liquid investments with
maturities of three months or less.
The Company's short-term invest-
ments are carried at cost which
approximates market. The Com-
pany invests its excess cash prin-
cipally in commercial paper of
large industrial companies and in
bankers acceptances and certifi-
cates of deposits of large banks.
Generally, these investments
mature within 90 days and are
therefore subject to little risk.
The Company has not experi-
enced losses related to these
investments.
California Microwave follows
the policy of reinvesting all earn-
ings to finance expansion of its
business, has paid no cash divi-
dends and has no plans to do so.
The Company manufactures
and sells communications prod-
ucts and systems to the U.S.
government and very large com-
mercial customers, principally
domestic and foreign telephone
companies and major common
carriers. The Company generally
requires no collateral, but does
frequently require letters of credit
from its foreign customers. In 1991,

The rights will only become
exercisable if a person or group
acquires 20% or more of the
Company's common stock or
announces an offer to acquire 30%
or more of the Company's com-
mon stock. In the event the Com-
pany is acquired, or upon the
occurrence of certain other events,
each right may under certain cir-
cumstances entitle the holder to
purchase, for $35, $70 worth of
common stock. Until such events
occur, the rights are redeemable
at any time by the Company for
$.01 per right.
Stock options have been
granted to officers and key
