CATAPULT COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 The Company and Basis of Presentation
Catapult Communications Corporation and its subsidiaries (we or the Company) design,
develop, manufacture, market and support advanced software-based test systems offering integrated
suites of testing applications for the global telecommunications industry. Our advanced test
systems assist our customers in the design, integration, installation and acceptance testing of a
broad range of digital telecommunications equipment and services. The Company was incorporated in
California in October 1985, was reincorporated in Nevada in 1998, and has operations in the United
States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe, Japan, China, India, and the Philippines. Management
has determined that we conduct our business within one reportable segment: the design, development,
manufacture, marketing and support of advanced software-based test systems globally.
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2008, which has been
derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated
financial statements as of December 31, 2008 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and include the accounts of Catapult
Communications Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and
transactions have been eliminated. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules
and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2008 and filed with the SEC
on December 3, 2008. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31,
2008, and for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, reflect, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state
fairly the financial information set forth herein. The results of operations for the interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent interim
period or for an entire year. The September 30, 2008 balance sheet was derived from audited
financial statements at that date, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
There have been no significant changes in the Companys significant accounting policies during
the three months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to what was previously disclosed in the
Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 as filed with the SEC on December
3, 2008, except that we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157 (SFAS 157),
Fair Value Measurements
and SFAS No.
159 (SFAS 159),
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.
Note 2 Recent Accounting Pronouncements
During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company adopted SFAS 157,
Fair Value
Measurements
, which defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands
disclosures regarding fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value
measurements, but rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various other accounting
pronouncements. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on the Companys results of
operations or the fair values of its financial assets and liabilities.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 157-2 (FSP 157-2),
Effective
Date of FASB Statement No. 157
. FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for all
non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or
disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). FSP
157-2 partially defers the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years for items within the scope of this FSP. The
Company is still evaluating the impact of the items deferred by FSP 157-2.
In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-3 (FSP 157-3),
Determining the Fair Value of a
Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active
. FSP 157-3 clarifies the application
of SFAS 157 when the market for that financial asset is not active and defines additional key
criteria in determining the fair value of a financial asset. The adoption of this FSP did not have
a material impact on the Companys results of operations or the fair values of its financial assets
and liabilities.
4
The Company also adopted SFAS 159,
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilitiesincluding an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,
during the first quarter of fiscal
2009, but we did not elect the fair value measurement option for any eligible financial instruments
as of December 31, 2008. SFAS 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for
the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities under
an instrument-by-instrument election. Subsequent measurements for the financial assets and
liabilities an entity elects to fair value will be recognized in earnings. SFAS 159 also
establishes additional disclosure requirements. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have any impact on
the Companys results of operations or the fair values of its financial assets and liabilities. We
could elect this option for new or substantially modified assets and liabilities in the future.
Refer to the section entitled Fair Value Measurements in Note 5 for additional information
on the adoption of SFAS 157.
Note 3 Stock-Based Compensation
The following table summarizes the effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements
of operations of recording stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R) for the
three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Note 4 Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share
We have presented net income (loss) per share for all periods in accordance with SFAS No. 128
(SFAS 128),
Earnings per Share
. SFAS 128 requires the presentation of basic and diluted earnings
per share. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share includes the effect of
dilutive potential common shares, but in periods where net losses are recorded, diluted net loss
per share does not include the conversion of common stock equivalents such as common stock options
because to do so would decrease the net loss per share and would be anti-dilutive. The following is
a reconciliation of the denominator used in calculating basic and diluted net income (loss) per
share:

Note 5 Fair Value
Measurements
During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company adopted SFAS 157,
Fair Value
Measurements
, which defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or
paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required
to be recorded at fair value, the Company considered the principal or most advantageous market in
which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
SFAS 157 established a three-tiered fair value
hierarchy of valuation techniques based on
whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable to prioritize
inputs used to measure fair value. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent
sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Companys market assumptions. A financial
instruments categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input
that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. Those tiers are defined as
follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either
directly or indirectly.
Level 3
inputs are unobservable and shall be used to the extent that observable inputs
are not available in the
overall fair value measurement.

The following table represents a summary of financial assets and liabilities that were
measured at fair value and the classification by level of input within the fair value hierarchy (in
thousands):

Our investments in auction rate securities (ARS) were classified as Level 3 as quoted prices
were not available. We used a discounted cash flow (DCF) model to derive an estimate of fair
value at December 31, 2008. The assumptions used in the DCF model for the estimated total expected
future cash flows included estimates on the amount and timing of future interests and principal
payments, projections of the interest rate, probability of full repayment of principal considering
the credit quality and guarantees, the market required rate of return by investors owning ARS
and the companys tax position.
Our
non-marketable equity investment is measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and
recognized at fair value when deemed to be other than temporarily impaired. We
did not record an impairment charge on this investment during the three months
ended December 31, 2008.

Note 7 Goodwill and Intangible Assets
We performed our most recent goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2008 and determined
that there was no impairment. As such, there was no write-down of the goodwill balance. Between
October 1, 2008 and December 31, 2008, there have been no changes to the Companys goodwill balance
of $49.4 million.
In the three months ended December 31, 2008, there were no events or changes in circumstances
to indicate impairment of intangible assets or changes to intangible assets.
Note 8 Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes consists of federal, state and foreign income taxes. We
recorded a tax provision of $357,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared with
$218,000 in the three months ended December 31,
7
2007. Having taken a full valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets at the end of
fiscal 2006, we no longer record a tax benefit for U.S. pre-tax losses. As a result, our tax
provision consists primarily of tax on foreign income, including the change in our allowance for
uncertain tax positions, plus the increase in deferred tax liability resulting from the
amortization for tax purposes of a portion of our goodwill.
On October 1, 2007, we adopted FIN 48 (FIN 48),
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,
an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109
. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 was a $17,000
decrease to retained earnings as of October 1, 2007. As of September 30, 2008, the total amount of
gross unrecognized tax benefits was $4,000,000, of which $1,024,000 would affect the effective tax
rate if recognized.
In accordance with our accounting policy, we recognize accrued interest and penalties related
to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. This policy did not change as a
result of the adoption of FIN 48. In the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, accrued
interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions of approximately $37,000 and $25,000,
respectively, have been expensed.
We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign
jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, or foreign
examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2000. At this time, we cannot estimate the
possible change in unrecognized tax benefits.

Stock Option Plans
In June 1998, the Board of Directors adopted the 1998 Stock Plan (the 1998 Plan), which
initially provided for the issuance of options to purchase 1,800,000 shares. The Companys
stockholders have subsequently approved increases of a total of 3,000,000 shares to the 1998 Plan.
The Board of Directors has the authority to determine optionees, the number of shares, the term of
each option and the exercise price. Options under the 1998 Plan generally become exercisable at a
rate of 1/8th of the total options granted six months after the option grant date and then at a
rate of 1/48th per month thereafter. Options will expire, if not exercised, upon the earlier of 10
years from the date of grant or 30 days after termination as an employee of the Company.
Repurchase of Common Stock
In December 1999, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to
2,000,000 shares of its common stock. In January 2007, November 2007, April 2008 and October 2008,
our Board of Directors authorized increases of 1,000,000 shares, 208,974 shares, 420,820 shares and
1,241,583 shares, respectively, to the program. Depending on market conditions and other factors,
repurchases can be made from time to time in the open market and in negotiated transactions,
including block transactions, and this program may be discontinued at any time. In fiscal 2008, we
repurchased and canceled 1,690,162 shares at a cost of approximately $12.2 million. In the three
month period ended December 31, 2008, we repurchased and canceled 392,589 shares at a cost of
approximately $2.0 million. The shares repurchased were restored to the status of authorized but
unissued. As of December 31, 2008, approximately 1,107,000 shares remained available for repurchase
under the authorization.

Note 12 Contingencies
From time to time, we may be involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings,
consisting of intellectual property, commercial, employment and other matters, which arise in the
ordinary course of business. In accordance with SFAS 5,
Accounting for Contingencies
, we record a
liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss
can be reasonably estimated. These
provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations,
settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a
particular case. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur in any specific period, there exists the
possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations of that period.
Note 13 Restructuring Costs
A restructuring charge of $2,197,000 was recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, of
which $1,574,000 was paid in fiscal year 2008 and a further $217,000 was paid in the first quarter
of fiscal 2009. These costs related primarily to one-time employee termination benefits consisting
of severance and related benefits for the workforce reduction through layoffs and
early retirement of 25 employees worldwide and to the closure of our research and development facility in Australia.
The global workforce reduction represented 11% of our workforce prior to the restructuring.

Note 14 Long-term Investments
In our investment portfolio, we held auction rate securities (ARS) that are securities with
long-term maturities for which the interest rates are reset through a dutch auction each month.
These auctions historically have provided a liquid market for these securities. The ARS held in our
portfolio represent interests in student loan, closed-end mutual fund preferred and municipal
issues, all highly rated by one or more of the major credit rating agencies at the time of
purchase.
On February 11, 2008, when the market for ARS began to experience widespread auction failures,
we held a total of $12 million in these securities in two of our three externally managed
short-term investment portfolios. Since then, as a result of auction sales due to some degree of
recovery in the auction market together with refinancing of some issues, our total position in
these securities was reduced to $5.0 million as of September 30, 2008. These sales and redemptions
all occurred at par without a loss.
Based on the current lack of liquidity related to these investments, we anticipate that
liquidation of these remaining securities will be protracted and accordingly we have continued to
classify them as long-term investments at December 31, 2008. In light of the absence of sales and
redemptions in the three months ended December 31, 2008 and the further deterioration of credit
markets during that period, we recorded a temporary unrealized holding loss of $309,000 in the
three months ended December 31, 2008 as discussed in Note 5,
Fair Value Measurements.
Note 15 Capitalized Software Development Costs
Unamortized software development costs were $5.5 million at December 31, 2008 and are included
in other assets. There were $3.5 million in unamortized software development costs at September 30,
2008.
Note 16 Non-marketable Equity Investment
We
have an interest of approximately 2.6% in Nethawk Oyj, a private
Finnish company, that has been recorded on our balance sheet as a
long-term asset at a fair value of $1.8 million as of December 31,
2008 and September 30, 2008 as determined by management and as discussed in Note
5, Fair Value Measurements.

Overview
Our Business and Products
Catapult Communications Corporation (we, Catapult, the Company or the Registrant)
designs, develops, manufactures, markets and supports advanced software-based test systems for the
global telecommunications industry. Our Linux software-based DCT2000® (DCT) and MGTS® digital
communications test systems operating on a common hardware platform range are designed to enable
equipment manufacturers and network operators to deliver complex digital telecommunications
equipment and services more quickly and cost-effectively, while helping to ensure interoperability
and reliability. Our advanced software and hardware perform a range of test functions, including
design and feature verification, conformance testing, interoperability testing and load and stress
testing. Our emphasis is on testing complex,
high-level and emerging protocols including, most recently, Long-Term Evolution (LTE), WiMAX and IP
Multimedia Subsystem (IMS).
Conditions and Trends in Our Industry
In our fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, we experienced lower revenues due to the effects
of consolidation among major customers outside Japan, such as Alcatel-Lucent (which also acquired
the 3G wireless business from Nortel) and Nokia Siemens Networks, and to continued competition from
our customers own test equipment offerings in the Japanese market. These factors resulted in
reduced purchasing of our products and services by our customers throughout the world.
In the three months ended December 31, 2008, we saw improvement in revenues in both Japan and
Asia Pacific outside Japan, but we continued to experience reduced demand in North America and
Europe due to the effects of consolidation among major customers. Our customer order input for the
quarter exceeded revenues due primarily to orders for LTE test systems, the majority of which will
be delivered in future quarters.
Summary of Our Financial Performance in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009
Our revenues in the three months ended December 31, 2008 decreased by 5% to $9.8 million from
$10.3 million in the same period in the prior year for the reasons outlined in the preceding
section, Conditions and Trends in our Industry. Our gross profit margin remained substantially
unchanged at 80% while our operating expenses decreased by 22%, due primarily to capitalized
research and development expenses and decreases in staffing levels, non-cash stock option expenses,
contractor expenses and exchange rates. We recorded operating income of $7,000 in comparison with
an operating loss of $1.8 million in the same period in the previous year.
11
During the three months ended December 31, 2008, our cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments decreased by $5.0 million, due to $0.9 million in negative cash flow from operations,
$2.0 million in share repurchases, $2.0 million in additional capitalization of software
development costs and $0.1 million in capital expenditures.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as
disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2008 as filed with the
SEC on December 3, 2008, except that we are adding the following critical accounting policy.
Fair Value Measurement
We measure fair value in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 157 (SFAS 157),
Fair Value Measurements
and SFAS No. 159 (SFAS 159),
The Fair Value Option
for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115
.
A significant portion of our cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term
investments consists of financial instruments that are measured at
fair value in our unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements. The measurement of fair value requires significant management
judgments and assumptions. These judgments and assumptions, as well as changes in market
conditions, may have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements
of operations.
At December 31, 2008, the fair values for our cash equivalents and short-term investments were
based on independent price quotations obtained from third party sources such as pricing services,
dealer quotes or direct market observations. The fair values for our auction rate securities
classified as long-term investments were measured using an internally-developed discounted cash
flow model.
We periodically evaluate our fair value measurement methodology and may change it to
accommodate market developments or to compensate for changes in data availability and reliability.

Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
Revenues
Our revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2008 in comparison to the same period in
the prior year decreased by 5% to $9.8 million. Over the same period, product revenues decreased by
5% to $6.5 million. The decrease in product revenues was attributable to decreased sales of our DCT
and MGTS test systems. Services revenues decreased approximately 5% to $3.4 million, due primarily
to a decrease in the number of test systems under maintenance.
Our revenues by sales territory, based on origin of order taken, varied as follows in the
three months ended December 31, 2008 in comparison with the three months ended December 31, 2007:
|
|
|
revenues in the Americas decreased by 28% to $2.2 million;
|
|
|
|
|
revenues in Europe, the Middle East and Africa decreased by 36% to $2.1 million;
|
|
|
|
|
revenues in Japan increased by 33% to $3.2 million; and
|
|
|
|
|
revenues in Asia Pacific outside Japan increased by 51% to $2.3 million.
|
Information on revenues from major customers is provided in Note 11 to the Unaudited Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements.
13
Cost of Revenues
Cost of product revenues increased by 16% to $1.5 million for the three months ended December
31, 2008 in comparison with the same period in the prior year and gross margin on product revenues
decreased by four percentage points to 78%. These variances reflect increased hardware component
and third party product costs as a percentage of
revenue. We expect our gross margin on product revenues in future quarterly periods to fluctuate
based on product mix and revenue levels.*
Cost of services revenues decreased by approximately 41% to $0.5 million in the three months
ended December 31, 2008 in comparison with the same period in the prior year, due primarily to a
22% decrease in the number of employees engaged in customer support. Gross margin on services
revenues increased by nine percentage points to 86% as services costs decreased to a greater extent
than the associated revenues. We expect our gross margin on services revenues in future quarterly
periods to fluctuate based on changes in both revenue and cost levels.*
Amortization of purchased technology remained unchanged at $12,000 in the three months ended
December 31, 2008 compared with the same period the previous year.
Gross margins did not vary significantly by geographic region.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses decreased by approximately 54% to $1.6 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2008 in comparison with the same period in the prior year, primarily due
the capitalization of $2.0 million in software production expenses. As a percentage of total
revenues, research and development expenses decreased to 17% from 34% over the same period.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 9% to $4.0 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2008 in comparison with the same period in the prior year as a 10% reduction in the
number of sales and marketing employees more than offset an increase of $0.2 million in variable
compensation. As a percentage of total revenues, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 40% from
42% over the same period.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased approximately 4% to $2.3 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2008 in comparison with the same period in the prior year, primarily due
to an increase in variable compensation. As a percentage of total revenues, general and
administrative expenses increased to 23% from 21% over the same period.
Interest income
Interest income decreased by 69% to $0.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2008
in comparison with the same period in the prior year due to decreases in both short-term interest
rates and in the total value of funds invested.
Provision for income taxes
Our provision for income taxes consists of federal, state and foreign income taxes. Having
recorded a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets in the U.S. in fiscal 2006, we no
longer accrue a benefit on U.S. pre-tax losses. Our tax provision increased by 64% to $0.4 million
in the three months ended December 31, 2008 in comparison with the same period in the prior year
due to pre-tax income recorded in the current period in comparison with a pre-tax loss in the same
period in the prior year.
Impact of Inflation
We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating activities used $0.9 million in cash in the three months ended December 31, 2008 in
comparison with $1.5 million in the same period in the prior year. In the three months ended
December 31, 2008, the net income component contributed $0.1 million, while a net loss used $1.2
million in the same period in the prior year. Over the same period, the contribution from
adjustments for non-cash charges decreased to $0.9 million from $1.0 million. These non-cash
charges include charges for depreciation, amortization, deferred income taxes and stock-based
compensation expense. Finally, our cash flows from operations are affected by changes in current
assets and liabilities. Changes in non-cash assets and liabilities used $1.8 million in cash in the
three months ended December 31, 2008 in comparison with $1.4 million in the same period in the
prior year.
14
Investing activities have consisted of three components: purchases of property and equipment;
purchases and sales of short-term investments; and capitalized software development costs.
Purchases of property and equipment decreased by
$0.1 million to $0.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2008 in comparison with the
same period in the prior year. We expect that capital expenditures for our full fiscal 2009 year
will total approximately $0.6 million.* We invest cash that is surplus to our operating
requirements in professionally managed investment portfolios. These portfolios consist of both cash
equivalents and short-term investments, and the mix between these elements may vary from period to
period due to changes in the investment approaches of the portfolio managers. Net purchases and
sales of short-term investments used net cash of $1.4 million in the three months ended December
31, 2008 and provided $7.4 million in the same period in the prior year. Capitalized software
development costs used cash of $2.0 million in the three months ended December 31, 2008. No
software development costs were capitalized in the same period in the prior year.
Financing activities representing primarily the repurchase of common shares used cash of $2.0
million in the three months ended December 31, 2008 in comparison with $1.3 million in the same
period in the prior year.
As of December 31, 2008, we had working capital of $36.9 million and cash, cash equivalents
and short-term investments of $36.4 million.
We may require additional funds to support our working capital requirements or for other
purposes. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available if needed or that,
if available, such financing will be obtainable on terms favorable to us or to our stockholders. We
believe that cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and funds generated from operations
will provide us with sufficient funds to finance our requirements for at least the next 12 months.*
