Cubic Transportation Systems to Address Customers` Needs for ``Smarter`` Security


SAN DIEGO, Oct 25, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Transportation Systems Inc., a
subsidiary of San Diego-based Cubic Corp. (AMEX: CUB), has formed a new group to
address its public transit customers` concerns about enhanced security.

The company believes its transit-based smart card ticketing -- already in use in
Washington, D.C. and Chicago -- is a natural base for smart ID cards that
incorporate fingerprint and facial recognition technology.

Cubic believes its proven smart card technology, used by more than more than
200,000 U.S. commuters, has the potential to be used in security markets ranging
from public safety, airports, private and public buildings to public transit
systems.

Cubic Transportation Systems has been the world`s leading automated ticketing
and revenue management integrator for more than 25 years and has smart card
contracts for public transit systems in North America, Europe and Asia. Cubic`s
GO CARD(R) is the core technology for the SmarTrip(R), used by 200,000
Washington Metro commuters for rail, parking and soon buses, and the Chicago
Transit Authority`s SmartCard, in the hands of 3,000 commuters, a number
expected to grow to 300,000 in a couple of years.

The new group, Cubic Security, will be headed by Cubic`s Mark Gaertner. The
group will accelerate smart card development underway before the terrorist
attacks in New York and Washington, D.C. Since then, many of Cubic`s existing
customers have heightened concerns about upgrading their security measures.

"In reality, Cubic has been in the access control and security business for more
than 25 years, moving people safely through transit faregates and into the
transit system," Gaertner said. "With our expanded GO CARD(R) applications, we
can now move people safely through buildings and airports as well."

GO CARD(R) is a contactless smart card with an embedded chip and antenna that
communicate via radio frequency with special readers, also developed by Cubic,
at the point of entry into transit faregates, ticket vending machines, parking
systems, building doors and potentially airport boarding gates. At the point of
entry, users touch their smart cards to a reader that scans the code. By
incorporating biometrics into the system, in a fraction of a second, the reader
can compare the facial, fingerprint or other biometric "images" of the
cardholder to the image on the card.

Cubic is working with several potential partners in biometrics, a high-tech
field which relies on statistical analysis of biological observations to help
positively identify and authenticate personal characteristics. It includes
technologies such as fingerprint analysis, hand geometry, voice pattern and face
recognition, acoustic signature analysis, and retina and iris scanning to map
individual physical characteristics and convert them into a digital file for
storage on a smart card chip. By integrating its proven smart card technology
and high-tech readers for information storage and systems integration expertise,
Cubic can efficiently and reliably deliver the security system end-to-end.

"With simple, low-cost enhancements, our technology is easily transferable to
non-transit security enforcement uses. Because we are well established in the
world`s largest transit systems as the electronic ticket system provider, our
product is positioned to grow into the foundation for the most sophisticated
security technology on the planet," Gaertner said. "In addition to offering
added value to our existing customers, we can support non-transit entities whose
employees use mass transit and want to be able to use one smart card for travel
and employee ID. The opportunities and possibilities are endless, yet practical
and feasible since so many people already rely on Cubic-developed smart card
technology every day."

Cubic introduced the world`s first transit smart card in 1989 when the London
Underground sought a faster, more secure method for its riders to pay fares.
Cubic created the GO CARD(R), a batteryless credit card-sized card that uses
encryption/security technology to process financial transactions in
approximately 70 milliseconds. According to Gaertner, that exceeds requirements
(set prior to September 11) for airline ticketing use, which call for keeping
the airline process safe without burdening travelers with long lines.

Praised for its high-speed transaction time that gets passengers on and off
trains and buses quickly and safely, Cubic`s GO CARD(R) is already used as an
employee identification tool for some Cubic public transit customers. In those
systems, GO CARD(R) verifies employee identity to allow access into machines
with cash and coin vaults. The addition of biometrics would be the next logical
enhancement.

"Our systems are examples of Cubic`s ability to provide secure, real-time
financial communications in just milliseconds, and every day we process and
protect hundreds of millions of dollars of cash and credit transactions,"
Gaertner said. "This represents our ability to protect personal information for
tens of millions of people worldwide."

Every year, nearly 10 billion people use Cubic systems in more than 40 major
markets in five continents, including London, Washington, D.C., Hong Kong,
Chicago, New York, Guangzhou and Shanghai, China, Atlanta, San Francisco,
Singapore and Miami. As part of the TranSys consortium, Cubic also is supplying
the entire automated fare collection system including smart cards for the London
PRESTIGE project.

Cubic Transportation Systems Group is one of Cubic Corp.`s two major segments.
The Cubic Defense Group provides battle command training, instrumented training
systems, avionics, data links, product logistical support, and radio
communication systems. For more information about Cubic, see the company`s Web

Cubic Awarded Contract to Provide New Search and Rescue Equipment to Spanish Navy


SAN DIEGO, Oct 29, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Defense Systems, a subsidiary
of San Diego-based Cubic Corporation (AMEX: CUB), has been awarded a contract to
provide Personnel Locator Systems and new URX-3000 survival radios to the
Spanish Navy. The advanced Cubic equipment is used to recover survivors during
combat search-and-rescue operations.

The contract, worth approximately $1 million, marks the first sale of Cubic`s
new URX-3000. This new hand-held survival radio has a lighter weight, lower
price and better performance than any other on the international market.

"Cubic has become a strong new player in the survival radio business in a very
short period of time," said Craig Campbell, director of business development for
Tactical Electronic Products. "We conducted a demo for the Spanish Navy and
within three months received our first order. That`s remarkable. It`s been my
experience that landing international business usually takes two years before
you get a contract. It just goes to show you that a good product sells itself."

The new radio works in conjunction with Cubic`s Personnel Locator System (PLS)
-- the standard search-and-rescue avionics system used by military pilots around
the world. Developed in the mid 1980s, Cubic`s PLS has been combat-tested in the
Persian Gulf War and has also flown in missions in the Balkans and Somalia.

Under the new contract, six PLS systems will be installed aboard the Spanish
Navy AB-212 and SH-3 search-and-rescue helicopters. The PLS systems will provide
a communications link between the rescue aircraft crew and the downed aviator,
providing both two-way voice and exact GPS position of the survivor.

One innovative design feature of the new radio is that it uses a voice
synthesizer chip instead of a visual display, which can present problems under
harsh environmental conditions and is not always effective in an emergency
situation. Capable of being programmed in any language, the voice synthesizer
tells the downed aviator his exact location in longitude and latitude.

"Simplicity is the key in the search-and-rescue business," Campbell said.
"Search-and-rescue operations are very stressful, often taking place at night.
Using a survival radio is a skill that downed pilots don`t have a chance to
practice very often. With Cubic`s URX-3000, the combat survivors can just turn
their radios on and don`t have to worry about anything else until the rescue
crews locate them and request identification."

"In a very brief development time, our Avionics team came up with a survival
radio superior to anything currently on the market," said Doug Fouser, vice
president of Tactical Electronic Products, Cubic Defense Systems. "We`re very
pleased with the market reaction to our latest product introduction and look
forward to further expanding our warfighter support."

Cubic Defense Systems is part of the Cubic Defense Group, which produces
instrumented air and ground combat training systems, battle command training,
simulations and provides simulation support for U.S. and allied military forces.

SAN DIEGO & WASHINGTON D.C., Nov 7, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Washington
Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) is the first U.S. transit agency to
add a security application for employee identification and building access onto
its transit smart card, following a successful demonstration by WMATA and
technology developer, Cubic Transportation Systems Inc., subsidiary of San
Diego-based Cubic Corp. (AMEX: CUB).

WMATA employees who work in the agency`s treasury facility will now use their
contactless SmarTrip(R) card as an identification badge for secure access in and
out of the facility. This new security function is one of several potential uses
that can reside on the SmarTrip card, which 200,000 commuters in the nation`s
capital use to pay their Metrorail fares, parking fees, and soon bus fares
throughout the Washington, D.C.-Baltimore corridor.

Cubic designed and developed the GO CARD(R) System, which is the core technology
behind SmarTrip, the first contactless smart card system introduced by a major
mass transit agency in the United States. The Chicago Transit Authority`s smart
card system is also based on the GO CARD System.

Previously, Cubic worked with WMATA to implement SmartBenefits, which allows
participating federal and private sector employees to have their transportation
benefit downloaded electronically, via their SmarTrip card, at any WMATA
Pass/Farecard vendor in the 83 rail stations in the WMATA system.

Under the new security system, WMATA`s treasury employees will be issued
individualized SmarTrip cards that contain employee-related information. To
enter and exit the building, the cardholders simply touch their cards to the
Cubic readers installed at each of the facility`s entry points, and the system
does the rest. The reader then authenticates each user`s identity. Eventually,
the card could also carry a photograph, which could be matched to a photograph
stored at the central database.

Last month, Cubic launched a new security group to address its public transit
customers` concerns about enhanced security. The group will work to accelerate
smart card development underway before the September 11 terrorist attacks in New
York and Washington. "We believe our transit-based smart card ticketing is a
natural base for smart ID and building access cards for several potential
security markets, including transit, commercial and government facilities, and
airports," said Cubic Corp.`s Mark Gaertner, who is heading the new security
group.

"From the time the GO CARD System was introduced in transit, Cubic has stressed
the one-card approach. In other words, the same card works on all transit modes,
such as is the case with riders in Washington and Chicago," Gaertner said. "Now
we are positioning GO CARD as a smart `tenant` card, where our users and
partners can host many applications on a single card, with the first two being
transit and access security.

"By integrating simple, low-cost biometrics such as facial recognition and
fingerprint analysis, we can deliver an efficient and reliable security system
end-to-end."

Cubic has integrated various smart card technologies on several contracts in
Europe, Asia, and North America, including Chicago and the Washington Metro
which are the first American systems using smart card technology. As part of the
TranSys consortium, Cubic also is supplying the entire Automated Fare Collection
System including smart cards for the London PRESTIGE project. Every year, nearly
10 billion people use Cubic systems in more than 40 major markets in five
continents, including London, Washington DC, Hong Kong, Chicago, New York,
Guangzhou, Shanghai, Atlanta, San Francisco, Singapore and Miami.

Cubic Transportation Systems is one of Cubic Corp.`s two major segments. The
Cubic Defense Group provides battle command training, instrumented training

The Deployable Ground Stations will include Cubic`s new Individual Combat
Aircrew Display System (ICADS(TM)), which allows pilots to debrief training
missions on commercially available PCs or laptop computers in a user-friendly
Windows environment.

The instrumentation pods, typically mounted on a wingtip weapon station, are
mobile monitoring devices that collect in-flight data for post-mission debriefs.
As part of the contract, the pods will be upgraded to the "P4R1" rangeless
configuration.

The rangeless air combat training system will allow the rapid deployment of air
combat training missions, in any available airspace, without reliance on fixed
ground infrastructure.

"This is a great opportunity to provide next-generation training capability to
the combat Air Force pilots and significantly enhance readiness," said Don
Jacobs, director of Cubic Defense Systems` Training Systems Programs. "The
autonomous system is specifically designed with portable, configurable equipment
that can easily be packed and loaded for shipment to any site."

The new pods will support training for F-15 and F-16 aircraft based at nine
locations throughout the United States.

In addition to GPS technology, the pods will be configured with a
tightly-coupled GPS receiver/Inertial Measurement Unit package to provide an
extremely accurate tracking solution. The package also includes a removable
digital recorder that allows aircrews to perform an after action review of the
missions flown on the ICADS-based ground station.

Cubic Defense Systems is part of the Cubic Defense Group, which produces
instrumented air and ground combat training systems, battle command training,
simulations and simulation support for U.S. and allied military forces. The

Cubic Wins $2 Million Personnel Locator Systems Contract from Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve


SAN DIEGO, Nov 13, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Defense Systems, a subsidiary
of San Diego-based Cubic Corp. (AMEX: CUB), has won an approximately $2 million
contract to supply Personnel Locator Systems and installation kits to the Air
National Guard and Air Force Reserve.

The systems will be placed aboard Air Force A-10 aircraft with delivery expected
to be completed in early 2002.

"Cubic`s data link and avionics group continue to provide state-of-the-art
tactical systems during this time of heightened operational readiness," said
Craig Campbell, director of Business Development for Tactical Electronics
Products. "For several years, we have been working with the Air National Guard
and Air Force Reserve in hopes of securing this business. Our Personnel Locator
System will enable A-10 crews to get to the survivor`s position very quickly to
provide close air support if the survivor needs it."

Cubic`s Personnel Locator System (PLS) is the standard avionics system installed
on U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force aircraft for search-and-rescue operations. The
PLS units provide a jam-resistant radio communications link between rescuers and
downed pilots that allows crews to pinpoint the location of the survivors in a
single pass under challenging operational conditions.

George Benedict, PLS program manager, said deliveries started in September with
shipment of the first system to verify system installation and operation in the
A-10 aircraft. Additional deliveries will continue from November through March
2002 for installation on aircraft at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., and Bradley
Field, Conn.

Benedict said the systems shipped so far are part of a PLS inventory build
currently underway at the San Diego facility.

"Although this order was for 24 PLS electronics systems, a total of 96
installation kits were ordered," he said. "This allows the customer to order
additional PLS electronics systems in the future that will just `drop in` the
pre-wired A-10 aircraft."

Cubic Defense Systems is part of the Cubic Defense Group, which provides
instrumented air and ground combat training systems, battle command training
simulations, and simulation support for U.S. and allied military forces. The

ICADS, provides significant new features for debriefing

aircrews. It allows pilots and instructors to view in-flight

events and data on a standard PC or laptop. ICADS features a

user-friendly interface, and incorporates commercial

off-the-shelf components to keep costs low. ICADS is now

supporting Red Flag exercises at Nellis Air Force Base and

multinational Cope Thunder exercises in Alaska. It`s also

being installed for Air National Guard at Alpena, Michigan,

and at nine Air Force and Air National Guard bases that will

receive rangeless, or autonomous, air combat training

technology.

Internationally, ICADS is being incorporated into the Rangeless Airborne
Instrumentation Debriefing System in the U.K., and the new Autonomous Air Combat
Instrumentation for the Netherlands Air Force.



-- PC-RIS -- The PC-Range Instrumentation System, provides

significant enhancements to the after action review process

for joint combat training missions. This system streamlines

the development and presentation of After Action Reviews using

off-the-shelf hardware and software. PC-RIS operates in the

Windows environment, and interfaces with both analog and

digital systems. PC-RIS can be used for Brigade-level

exercises that require multiple workstations, and for Home

Station Training that utilizes personal computers and laptops.

-- MILES 2000 Instrumentation Systems -- Cubic`s advanced

Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System allows troops to

use the weapons they would use in actual combat, but laser

"bullets" replace actual ammunition. The player

instrumentation systems collect and record the data from

individuals and combat vehicles, indicating hits, misses and

kills. These events are downloaded for After Action Reviews.

MILES 2000 is the standard direct-fire engagement system for

U.S. and international forces. It will also be incorporated

into the British Army`s new Area Weapons Effects Simulator, or

AWES.

-- Air Combat Training -- Rangeless (ACT-R) Pods -- Cubic`s

"rangeless" ACT-R pods incorporate Global Positioning

Satellite technology to allow aircrews to train in any

available airspace -- without the need for a fixed

infrastructure. The instrumented pods are mobile monitoring

devices mounted on the aircraft, which relay and record

detailed information about a pilot`s location, maneuvers and

firing patterns. This information is then transferred to

ground stations or mobile units such as DSTAR for live

monitoring and debriefs.

The Cubic I/ITSEC exhibit will also highlight products and services from Cubic`s
Defense Group companies, including Cubic Applications Inc., providing leadership
development and mission planning; Cubic Worldwide Technical Services; operations
& maintenance support; and Oscmar International, supplying international MILES
products and affordable training range communications systems.

Cubic Unveils New Search-and-Rescue Avionics System


SAN DIEGO, Dec 4, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Defense Systems, a subsidiary
of San Diego-based Cubic Corp. (AMEX: CUB), has introduced a new, next-generation
personnel recovery system called Survivor Tracking and Recovery (STAR).

The company unveiled the advanced lightweight airborne search-and-rescue system
at the Search and Rescue 2001 Conference and Exhibition, held Dec. 4-6 at the
San Diego Convention Center.

Cubic`s new STAR system is a smaller, lighter version of the company`s popular
Personnel Locator System (PLS), the standard search-and-rescue avionics system
for the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy and NATO. Designed for mixed civilian and
military use, STAR is interoperable with the URX 3000 GPS Survival Radio, a new
handheld tactical survival radio that Cubic unveiled earlier this year.

STAR is designed for installation aboard search-and-rescue helicopters with no
system calibration or alignment needed on the aircraft. It features a fully
functional digital moving map and standard HIS flight director display and a
12-channel GPS receiver. STAR can store multiple survivor identification codes
and frequencies and with a single interrogation to a URX-3000 radio, can provide
a precise location. STAR uses encoded data transmissions for secure
communications between the survivor and rescue aircraft.

"STAR is an ideal dual-use system for search-and-rescue crews who perform both
civilian and military functions," said Doug Fouser, vice president of Tactical
Electronics Products for Cubic Defense Systems. "In many countries, the military
is responsible for both combat and civil search-and-rescue. STAR is designed to
serve both applications, thus providing a single-system solution for operators
needing dual-use capability. Cubic is pleased to be able to offer its
next-generation search-and-rescue technology to this wider world market at an
affordable price."

The Cubic Defense Group produces instrumented air and ground combat training
systems, battle command training, simulations and simulation support for U.S.
and allied military forces. The Group also produces high technology avionics,
data links and communications products for government and commercial customers,
and a wide range of technical and logistics services.

The corporation`s other major segment, Cubic Transportation Systems, designs and
manufactures automatic fare collection systems for public mass transit

Cubic Applies for U.S. Patent for System Designed to Assist Pilots in Emergencies


SAN DIEGO, Dec 10, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Defense Systems, a subsidiary
of San Diego-based Cubic Corp. (AMEX: CUB), has applied for a U.S. patent for a
new system and method for remotely controlling existing flight systems on board
commercial aircraft.

The proposed system would be designed to stop terrorists or other passengers
from taking control of the plane. It could also be used in other emergencies
such as pilot medical emergencies.

Cubic is seeking airline industry and scientific partners to explore and develop
the proposed device, which would give airline pilots the option of relinquishing
control of their planes in dangerous situations to ground control stations. In
cases where pilots were killed or disabled, or the aircraft was off course,
authorities could remotely initiate ground control via a secure data link. The
aircraft`s system would then automatically be reprogrammed to approach the
nearest safe airport, engage the auto landing sequence and land.

The proposed device could use a data link for encrypted communication between
the aircraft and the ground control station. Once the ground control station --
possibly located at a military air base -- assumed control, no one on board
could guide the plane, disable the controls or dump fuel.

"There are many challenges to creating this kind of system, but we think the
invention is well worth exploring," said Max Farrow, Cubic Defense Systems vice
president of Advanced Programs and Engineering. "Having these systems aboard
commercial airliners would deter hijackers from trying to try to take them over,
because they could not accomplish their objective."

Doug Nelson, the engineer who came up with the idea and refined it with help of
his colleagues in the Cubic Defense Systems Advanced Programs group, said
watching the two aircraft collide with the World Trade Center towers on Sept. 11
affected him deeply. The Cubic employee still remembers the 1978 crash of
Pacific Southwest Airlines Flight 182. After colliding with another aircraft in
mid-air, the airliner plummeted to the ground, killing all aboard and many
residents of the North Park area of San Diego.

Nelson, who holds a pilot`s license for single-engine aircraft, knew that
existing autopilot systems have the capability to land planes at airports if
pilots are incapacitated or during extreme weather. He also knew that Cubic -- a
provider of sophisticated jam-resistant data links that can interface with
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) -- had the technological capability to create
systems that could fly aircraft remotely from the ground.

Cubic is now awaiting word from the U.S Patent Office and Trademark Office to
see if its patent application will be allowed. Though usually the process of
getting a U.S. patent takes several years, Cubic has petitioned for accelerated
examination under a program giving applications directed to anti-terrorist
technology a priority. In the meantime, Cubic will continue work on its
prototype system.

The Cubic Defense Group produces instrumented air and ground combat training
systems, battle command training, simulations and simulation support for U.S.
and allied military forces. The group also produces high technology avionics,
data links and communications products for government and commercial customers,
and a wide range of technical and logistics services.

The corporation`s other major segment, Cubic Transportation Systems, designs and
manufactures automatic fare collection systems for public mass transit
authorities worldwide.

Cubic Corp. Reports Strong Earnings Growth


SAN DIEGO, Dec 13, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Corp. (AMEX: CUB) today
reported strong earnings growth for fiscal 2001. Earnings (after tax, profit
sharing and bonus payments) for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2001 were
$20,842,000 or $2.34 per share, compared to $674,000 or $0.08 per share for
fiscal 2000.

Fourth quarter 2001 earnings were $5,884,000 or $0.66 per share, compared to a
fourth quarter 2000 loss of $12,723,000 or $1.42 per share. Last year`s fourth
quarter loss was due primarily to a reserve recorded on one contract. Due to the
unusual nature of last year`s fourth quarter, perhaps a more meaningful
comparison for fiscal 2001 is that this year`s income of $20,842,000 or $2.34
per share is an increase of 49 percent from 1999, when net income was
$14,008,000 or $1.57 per share.

For the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2001, total sales were $501,679,000,
compared to $531,516,000 in 2000. Sales in the fourth quarter were $131,230,000
in 2001, compared to $138,121,000 in 2000. Defense segment sales for fiscal 2001
grew slightly for the year, primarily due to the company`s data link products
and computerized battlefield simulation business, while transportation segment
sales were somewhat lower in fiscal 2001 because of delays in new contract
awards, customer requested production delays in San Francisco, and anticipated
revenue declines in London and New York.

The company reports that earnings should continue to improve steadily over the
next few years and bookings are expected to increase in fiscal 2002, which
should result in the resumption of sales growth going into fiscal 2003.

Total backlog was $1,095,000,000 at Sept. 30, 2001, compared to $1,071,000,000
at Sept. 30, 2000. Cubic`s funded backlog at the end of fiscal 2001 was
$738,000,000 compared to $802,000,000 at the end of the prior year.

The company reports a positive outlook as the nation puts resources into
homeland security and the war against terrorism. Cubic`s technologies, both on
the defense and transportation sides of the company, have never been more in
demand, and the company`s competitive position in both markets is very strong
with operations running more efficiently, as reflected in the improved earnings.

The Cubic Defense Group produces instrumented air and ground combat training
systems, battle command training, simulations and simulation support for U.S.
and allied military forces. The Group also produces high technology avionics,
data links and communications products for government and commercial customers,
and provides a wide range of technical and logistics services.

The corporation`s other major segment, Cubic Transportation Systems, designs and
manufactures automatic fare collection systems -- including the most advanced
smart card system -- for public mass transit authorities worldwide.

In addition to historical matters, this release contains forward-looking
statements which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements

Cubic Wins $38.3 Million Contract from Maryland Transit Administration; Contract Will Provide First Statewide Smart Card-Based Public Transit Ticketing System


SAN DIEGO, Dec 20, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Maryland Transit Administration
(MTA) has awarded Cubic Transportation Systems, a subsidiary of San Diego-based
Cubic Corporation (AMEX: CUB), a $38.3 million contract to deliver the nation`s
first statewide smart ticketing system. The total value of the contract could
reach $41 million if all options are exercised.

The contract represents a final step in the MTA`s initiative to deliver seamless
transit throughout the state and completes the regional expansion of
Washington`s highly popular SmarTrip(R) smart card system, in service since June
1999 for rail and parking payment.

The new MTA ticketing system, using a single smart card, will join all subway,
light rail and commuter rail systems. The ticketing system will also link the
state`s commuters to the regional bus system that feeds into Washington, D.C.
This year, Cubic received a series of contracts totaling approximately $59
million for more than 3,000 smart card-enabled fareboxes and electronic
validators to be installed on buses throughout Washington, D.C., Maryland, and
parts of Virginia. Nearly 210,000 Washington riders use SmarTrip today, but more
than one million commuters could be using the card upon completion of the
regional system.

Cubic`s fare collection system will use both magnetic and smart card products
for the state`s subway, light rail, commuter rail and bus transit systems.
Maryland commuters who work in Washington, for example, and have to change
transit modes or operators will be able to pay using a single card, making the
entire commuting experience seamless and invisible.

Cubic will integrate the MTA`s new rail equipment, including gates, handheld
units and ticket vending machines with the Tri-Reader(R), Cubic`s core
technology for supporting system compatibility among all the participating
agencies. Tri-Reader is one of Cubic`s Nextfare(TM) Solution Suite advanced
smart card tools, developed to plug into new and existing mass transit systems.

As part of the MTA contract, Cubic will deliver several value-added ticketing
services, such as SmartBenefits, a SmarTrip application currently in use at
Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), which allows
participating federal and private sector employees to receive transit benefits
directly on their SmarTrip cards at the WMATA vendors. All MTA end devices will
both dispense benefits and allow Autoload, which lets transit users link their
smart cards to their credit cards for automatic reload of transit value into the
system, similar to the way "EZ-Pass" works for toll road users. In addition,
patrons will be able to load value on their smart cards at ticket vending
machines using either their credit or debit cards.

The MTA equipment is scheduled for installation in stages between the second and
fourth quarters of 2003, with complete system acceptance by the third quarter of
2004. The equipment will be manufactured at Cubic`s Tullahoma, Tenn. production
facilities.

Cubic`s Smart Card-Ready Equipment Ordered for CTA`s Blue Line Rehabilitation Project


SAN DIEGO, Dec 27, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Transportation Systems Inc., a
subsidiary of San Diego-based Cubic Corp. (AMEX: CUB), has been awarded a $3.3
million contract to provide smart card-ready fare collection equipment for the
Chicago Transit Authority (CTA)`s Blue Line Cermak (Douglas) Branch
rehabilitation project.

Cubic is the provider of the CTA`s existing high-tech electronic fare collection
system that operates on all CTA rail lines, including the Blue Line. Built
between 1895 and 1912, the Cermak Branch, also known as the Douglas Branch, is a
critical link in the CTA rail system, which serves about 10,000 passengers a day
at its 11 stations.

Eight of the 11 stations will be renovated by Kiewit-Delgado, AJV, as part of a
$482 million rehabilitation made possible through federal and Illinois state
funding. It is the largest capital improvement project in the CTA`s history.

The CTA introduced smart cards to its riders in August 2000 under a pilot
program. Next year, the agency is planning a major rollout following a recent
order that calls for Cubic to deliver 300,000 new cards. CTA uses Cubic`s GO
CARD(R), the same technology the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority
uses for its SmarTrip(R) system, the nation`s first transit smart card program.
Smart cards allow customers to save time by storing value on a plastic chip card
that makes contact with a "card reader" without actually touching it.

Cubic`s fare collection system is interoperable across the CTA`s rail and bus
system and the Chicago area`s Pace suburban bus system, making it the nation`s
first multi-agency, multi-modal system for public transit.

The CTA is adding new entrances and exits as well as new ticketing equipment at
several of the renovated stations to improve the rail system`s operations.
Cubic`s equipment includes federally compliant wheelchair-accessible gates,
high-volume faregates, high barrier gates, and ticket vending machines, all of
which are designed to accept both the CTA`s SmartCard and magnetic-stripe
farecards. Also included in the order are station information controllers, the
same information center/passenger units that allow passengers to check the value
and expiration date of smart cards and magnetic stripe cards throughout the rest
of the CTA system.

"The Chicago Transit Authority is more than the nation`s second largest transit
system; it is one of the pioneers in American transportation history," said
Walter C. Zable, president and CEO, Cubic Transportation Systems. "It is our
honor to be involved in this modernization project and to receive this latest
contract, which ensures there will be continuity of ticketing service throughout
the CTA system."

The equipment is scheduled for installation in the third quarter of 2002 and
will be manufactured at Cubic`s Tullahoma, Tenn. production facilities.

Cubic Transportation Systems is the world`s largest supplier and system
integrator of integrated electronic ticketing systems and has smart card
contracts for public transit systems in North America, Europe and Asia.
Recently, the company added a security group to expand its smart card technology
into non-transit uses including security and access control. Working with Cubic
Security, the Washington Metro added a security application to its transit-based
SmarTrip(R) cards issued to employees who work in a secure area of the transit
authority. The application can potentially grow to include biometrics, such as
fingerprint and facial recognition.

Every year, nearly 10 billion people use Cubic systems in more than 40 major
markets in cities on five continents, including London, Washington, D.C., Hong
Kong, Chicago, New York, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Atlanta, San Francisco, Singapore
and Miami. As part of the TranSys consortium, Cubic also is supplying the entire
automated fare collection system including smart cards for the London PRESTIGE
project.

Cubic Transportation Systems Group is one of Cubic Corp.`s two major segments.
The Cubic Defense Group provides battle command training, instrumented training
systems, avionics, data links, product logistical support, and radio
communication systems. For more information about Cubic, see the company`s Web

Cubic-hosted NATO Study Group Meeting on Improving Joint Training Wraps Up


SAN DIEGO, Jan 17, 2002 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Cubic Defense Systems, a
subsidiary of San Diego-based Cubic Corporation (Amex: CUB), is concluding a
week-long NATO study committee meeting examining how to make allied forces` air
and ground combat training systems more conducive to joint training exercises.

The NATO Interoperability Study Committee, vice-chaired by Philip J. Fisch,
Cubic Defense Systems director of business development for training systems,
comprises 20 participants from defense electronics companies in eight countries
in Europe, North America and Turkey. The participants are examining the
"interoperability" of electronic training systems with the objective of
improving joint training exercises. At present, some NATO forces are unable to
train together because of incompatible electronic systems.

Cubic`s Fisch was appointed to the position last summer by the NATO Industrial
Advisory Group (NIAG) -- a forum for discussing defense industry issues that
affect NATO nations.

"Cubic feels privileged to take a leadership role in addressing
interoperability," Fisch said. "By working together on this important issue, the
defense industry is helping to build a stronger NATO with the highest possible
level of combat readiness."

During a tour of Cubic on Friday, the NATO study committee will visit the
company`s training instrumentation "pod" manufacturing facility and see
demonstrations of several Cubic products that can be used in any airspace or
ground location -- an important feature when planning joint training exercises.
The products include:



-- The Individual Combat Aircrew Display System (ICADS (TM)), a new

PC-based after-action review system for fighter pilots that allows

them to debrief on laptop computers.

-- The Air Combat Training -- Rangeless (ACT-R) system, which allows

aircraft to train virtually any airspace without expensive ground

architecture.

-- Cubic`s Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES 2000)

now used for force-on-force training in the Netherlands, U.S. and

Kuwait.

Cubic also will highlight the new Area Weapons Effects Simulator (AWES) it is
building for the United Kingdom Ministry of Defense in the Salisbury Plain
Training Area in England and at Suffield, Alberta, Canada.

The study committee held its first meetings last September at NATO headquarters
in Brussels, Belgium, and met in November in Konstanz, Germany. During the
previous meetings, the committee defined the term "interoperability" and
developed a database of all the air combat training systems within NATO. The
committee plans to meet in Rome in March, northern Florida in May, and in July,
Ueberlingen, Germany. Committee members are expected to present their findings
to NIAG in late summer.

Cubic Defense Systems is part of the Cubic Defense Group, a major business
segment of Cubic Corporation that provides instrumented air and ground combat
training systems, battle command training simulations, and simulation support
for U. S. and allied military forces. The Group also produces high technology
avionics, data links and communications products for government and commercial
customers and provides a wide range of technical and logistics services. Cubic
Corporation`s other major segment, Cubic Transportation Systems, designs and
manufactures automatic fare collection systems for public mass transit
authorities worldwide.

Cubic Wins $15.2 Million Contract for Minneapolis/St. Paul Smart Card Fare Collection System Leader in Automated Fare Collection Brings Affordable, Proven "Big System" Technology to Emerging Light Rail, Bus Rapid Transit Markets


SAN DIEGO, Jan 18, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Transportation Systems Inc., a
subsidiary of San Diego-based Cubic Corp. (AMEX: CUB), has received a $15.2
million contract from the Metropolitan Council in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minn.,
to deliver the nation`s first "smart" regional ticketing system for light rail
and bus rapid transit.

Total value of the contract could reach $19.3 million if all options are
exercised.

The new ticketing system is part of the Twin Cities` regional "smart growth"
plan for the Twin Cities seven-county metropolitan area. It will provide
seamless fare collection among the region`s transit systems and the state`s
first light-rail line. The contract will be managed by Metro Transit, the
region`s largest bus system and operator of the light-rail line when it opens in
late 2003. Smartcard technology also will be deployed at stations along Metro
Transit`s Riverview Corridor busway, Minnesota`s first bus rapid transit
project, now in development.

"Minneapolis/St. Paul is a big win for Cubic. It means we`re officially in the
light rail and bus rapid transit business, in addition to the heavy rail
customers-which have been our traditional core customer-such as London,
Washington, New York and Chicago," said Walter C. Zable, president and chief
executive officer, Cubic Transportation Systems. "Since many North American
agencies are looking at light rail and bus rapid transit, it was essential for
us to look at our business direction and position ourselves as a serious player
in this market."

The fare payment system will use both magnetic and smart card products. A
Cubic-designed central computer will be the heart of the system and will
integrate bus and station equipment to a central source for revenue and data
management. The system will use Cubic`s Nextfare(TM) Business Management System,
a central computer package designed for multi-operator regional ticketing
systems, and Tri-Reader(R), the only card reader that processes all
ISO-compliant and Cubic`s GO CARD(R) smart cards.

The ticketing system will feature Autoload, which lets transit users link smart
cards to their credit cards for automatic reload of transit value at any ticket
vending machine. Patrons also will be able to load value on their smart cards at
rail and busway ticket vending machines by using either credit or debit cards.
The Minneapolis/St. Paul fare collection system will feature Cubic`s new ticket
vending machine designed for the light rail and bus rapid transit markets.

"We have repackaged the best of our proven `big system` technologies and
delivered a solution to Twin Cities transit operators that is comparable but
affordable. It is a model for other cities wanting a common platform to ensure
efficient long-term and economical support costs for both hardware and software
systemwide," Zable said.

The contract includes an option to buy additional equipment for the Northstar
Commuter Rail line currently under evaluation by regional officials and the
state transportation department.

Cubic is the supplier of the only full-scale smart card systems in the U.S.
transit market today-the SmarTrip(R) system in Washington, D.C., and Chicago`s
SmartCard system.

Cubic Transportation Systems is the world`s largest supplier and system
integrator of integrated electronic ticketing systems and has smart card
contracts for public transit systems in North America, Europe and Asia.
Recently, the company added a security group to expand its smart card technology
into non-transit uses including security and access control.

Every year, nearly 10 billion people use Cubic systems in more than 40 major
markets in cities on five continents, including London, Washington, D.C., Hong
Kong, Chicago, New York, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Atlanta, San Francisco, Singapore
and Miami. As part of the TranSys consortium, Cubic also is supplying the entire
automated fare collection system including smart cards for the London PRESTIGE
project.

Cubic Transportation Systems Group is one of Cubic Corp.`s two major segments.
The Cubic Defense Group provides battle command training, instrumented training
systems, avionics, data links, product logistical support, and radio
communication systems. For more information about Cubic, see the company`s Web

Cubic Wins $5.5 Million Contract to Upgrade Chicago Transit Authority`s Central Computing System


SAN DIEGO, Jan 24, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Transportation Systems, a
subsidiary of San Diego-based Cubic Corp. (AMEX: CUB), has received a $5.5
million contract to upgrade the central computing system and infrastructure for
the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), the nation`s second largest public
transportation system and the second in the U.S. to implement smart card
technology.

The total value of the contract could reach $6.25 million if all options are
exercised.

Cubic is the provider of the CTA`s high-tech electronic fare collection system
that links all rail and regional bus operations to a single magnetic ticket or
"touchless" smart card. The CTA launched a limited "trial" of 3,500
Cubic-supplied smart cards in 2000. Last September, CTA awarded a contract for
Cubic to supply an additional 300,000 cards, which will be phased in by the CTA
over the next two years.

The central system acts as the "brains" of the CTA`s fare collection operations,
integrating and linking all rail and bus fare equipment to a central source for
revenue and data management. Cubic will upgrade station-level computers
throughout the CTA`s 143 rail stations to ensure seamless data upload and
download operations with the central system.

"These enhancements will ensure the CTA`s fare collection system continues to be
powered by a high-performance, high-reliability central system," said Walter C.
Zable, president and chief executive officer, Cubic Transportation Systems. "Not
only will our system have the processing power and storage to easily handle the
CTA`s transaction volume today, but it will have the reserved capability to
support several years of sustained annual ridership growth, consistent with the
CTA`s objectives."

The central system`s expansion will include more powerful reporting and
distribution tools that will position the agency to take advantage of more
advanced fare collection technologies that the CTA may add in the future. The
upgrade is scheduled for completion by this summer.

Cubic Transportation Systems is the world`s largest supplier and system
integrator of integrated electronic ticketing systems and has smart card
contracts for public transit systems in North America, Europe and Asia.
Recently, the company added a security group to expand its smart card technology

Cubic Corp. -- AMEX: CUB -- Reports Fiscal 2002 First Quarter Earnings Up 22 Percent


SAN DIEGO, Jan 31, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Corp. (AMEX: CUB) today
announced that net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 increased 22
percent to $5.7 million or 64 cents a share from $4.7 million or 52 cents a
share for the same quarter the prior year. The company reported sales of $123.9
million, compared to sales of $120.3 million for the same period last year.

Operating profits (before interest, taxes and corporate items) for the company`s
two major segments, defense and transportation, increased to $7.9 million for
the quarter from $5.1 million for the first quarter of last year. Taking into
account that $661,000 of this increase resulted from new accounting rules for
goodwill, on a comparable basis operating profits increased by 36 percent from
the same period last year. All of the gains in operating income came from the
defense segment, although the transportation group continued to provide more
than half of total operating profits. The after-tax impact of the change in
accounting for goodwill was about 5 cents per share. On the other hand, the
company noted that last year`s first quarter profits were helped by a $1.4
million pre-tax gain from the sale of marketable securities, which was not
repeated in the first quarter of 2002.

The company`s defense segment generated a 15 percent increase in sales, mostly
from its data link and training systems product lines. Improvement in operating
profits for the segment came from the ground and air combat training systems
business, most significantly because operating profits from the first quarter of
fiscal 2001 had been reduced by costs related to a cancelled purchase request
for an air combat training program in Australia.

Transportation segment sales for the quarter were lower than the same period
last year, because of an anticipated lower level of activity on the Prestige
contract in London and decreased revenues from contracts in the Far East, which
are now nearing completion. Operating profits in the segment were down $300,000
due to a provision of $900,000 in the quarter for severance costs due to a
planned plant closing in western England. The company is in the process of
purchasing a new facility near London in order to bring operations closer to its
key customers. These events do not reflect a decline in business prospects, but
rather a move to gain greater efficiency by bringing operations together into
one facility and in closer proximity to key customers. The acquisition of this
building is indicative of management`s optimistic view of the long-term
prospects for transportation systems business in Europe.

"We are optimistic of the long-term prospects for the company," said Cubic Corp.
President and CEO Walter J. Zable. "We expect a good pick up in new business
this year, which should position us for growth in sales and earnings over the
next few years."

Total backlog at December 31, 2001, including unfunded customer orders, was
$1,102,000,000, compared to $1,029,000,000 at December 31, 2000. Included in the
amounts above was funded backlog of $762,000,000 at December 31, 2001, compared
to $760,000,000 at December 31, 2000.

Cubic Transportation Systems designs and manufactures automatic fare collection
systems for public mass transit, including rail and buses throughout the world.
The Cubic Defense Group provides instrumented air and ground combat training
systems, battle command training simulations, and simulation support for U. S.
and allied military forces. The Group also produces high technology avionics,

Cubic Named One of San Diego`s Best Overall Places to Work


SAN DIEGO, Feb 21, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- You could credit the corporation`s

sells and delivers flowers on Valentine`s Day. Or perhaps it`s progressive
health benefits choices, such as long-term care, or the "9-80" work schedule
that gives employees every-other Friday off. San Diego-based Cubic Corp.
(AMEX: CUB) has been recognized by the Work-Life Coalition of San Diego as one of
the city`s top three 2002 "Leaders in Work-Life."

Cubic and the University of California San Diego were runners up to Cox
Communications in the coalition`s "Best Overall Place to Work" category for
companies with 500 or more employees. Cubic and 75 other San Diego organizations
were questioned in detail by the coalition on work-life policies, programs and
practices in the largest work-life survey conducted in the area. Top performers
received the Work-Life Coalition of San Diego`s "Leaders in Work-Life" awards.

"The topic of work-life balance has received considerable attention over the
last few years, and the events of September 11 have made this issue more
salient," said Virginia Byrd, president of Work-Life Coalition of San Diego.
"Many individuals are re-examining their priorities, and many are finding a need
to live a more balanced life," she added.

Cubic was one of the top three finalists in several categories: "Best General
Benefits," which includes medical and 401K plans; "Best Wellness Program," which
includes employee assistance, health club benefits and health education
seminars; "Best Eldercare Program," a benefits area that includes providing
resources and referral and long-term care insurance; and "Best Corporate
Work-Life Culture," which includes casual dress, and services such as an onsite
company store. (Cubic`s employee store offers drycleaning, film processing, and
travel and ticket discounts for more than 75 attractions, hotels and events in
Southern California. The company also encourages and organizes community
involvement events, generating major participation in charity walks, runs and
other fundraisers.)

"We are delighted and proud to receive this honor," said Cubic Human Resources
Director Barbara Abelin. "Creating human resources programs that meet the
changing needs of the workforce is a challenge for any company, particularly a
company like ours, which just celebrated its 50th anniversary and rarely takes
time to appreciate the things that make it progressive or innovative."

Over the years, the company has implemented a number of new benefits. "And what
we`ve learned is that the benefits that often mean the most to employees come at
little or no cost," Abelin said.

Cubic Corp., founded in 1951 by Walter J. Zable, who is still president and CEO,
is parent to two major segments, transportation and defense. The Cubic
Transportation Systems Group designs and manufactures automatic fare collection
systems for public mass transit, including rail and buses throughout the world.
The Cubic Defense Group provides instrumented air and ground combat training
systems, battle command training simulations, and simulation support for U.S.
and allied military forces. The Group also produces high technology avionics,
data links and communications products for government and commercial customers
and provides a wide range of technical and logistics services. For more

Cubic Wins $84M Contract from L.A. County MTA to Deliver California`s Largest Smart Card-Based Public Transit Ticketing System


SAN DIEGO, Mar 1, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Los Angeles County Metropolitan
Transportation Authority (MTA) has approved an $84 million contract with Cubic
Transportation Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of San Diego-based Cubic Corp.
(AMEX: CUB), to deliver California`s largest "smart" ticketing system for
transit.

Under the contract, Cubic will use smart card technology to link all public
transit in Los Angeles to one "smart" ticket. The new smart card-based system,
known also as a Universal Fare System, will allow commuters who live in one part
of the city and work in another to use a single card for their bus, light rail
and subway rides.

Cubic also will offer regional service providers the ability to expand the new
smart card-based system to include adjoining transit operators, paratransit
services and possibly the Metrolink commuter rail system.

"This is, without doubt, one of the most ambitious and important projects every
undertaken by the MTA from the standpoint of making public transit far more
attractive to the residents of LA County," said MTA Board Chairman John Fasana.
"The day when passengers experience public transit the way it was envisioned,
effortless and quickly, is just around the corner."

Under the contract, Cubic is providing its Nextfare(TM) Solution Suite
technology, an open architecture platform that includes the Cubic Tri-Reader(R)
and Nextfare terminal architecture, and the Nextfare Business Management System.
This technology will give operators linked to the system a choice of smart card
types, including Cubic`s GO CARD(R), which the MTA has selected for Los Angeles.

Cubic will design, build, install and integrate the entire fare collection
system, which will consist of new rail ticket vending machines and validators,
fareboxes (supplied by GFI Genfare of Elk Grove, Ill.), a central data
collection system, and related technology to record and process rides, store
value, debit credit cards, accept cash and provide other "smart" services to the
customer, which could include the ability to download prepaid transit benefits
offered by participating employers.

The new system will allow transit users to automatically purchase and reload
value onto smart cards at special merchant-operated terminals that will be
distributed across the county and at ticket vending machines at MTA rail
stations. The new ticketing system is scheduled for completion in 2004.

"We are proud and delighted that the L.A. MTA chose Cubic to help provide
high-tech, smart ticketing for its public transit customers," said Walter C.
Zable, president and CEO, Cubic Transportation Systems. "We look forward to
providing commuters across L.A. County the same speedy, hassle-free transit
access that public transit customers enjoy in Washington, D.C. and Chicago."

Cubic is the supplier of the only full-scale, smart card-based fare collection
systems for U.S. public transit, including Chicago`s SmartCard system, the
nation`s first multi-modal, multi-agency smart card-based system; and

Cubic Earns Fourth Consecutive ``Maximum Performance Bonus`` for Outstanding Service to U.S. Air Force


SAN DIEGO, Mar 7, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- For the fourth time in a row, the
U.S. Air Force has awarded its maximum performance bonus to San Diego-based
Cubic Corp. (AMEX: CUB) for outstanding service of air crews at Kadena Air Base,
Okinawa, Japan.

The bonuses, each worth $50,000, are for contractor logistics support for the
Kadena Interim Training System, also known as "KITS." Cubic has provided the
service since 1997, when the company completed installation of the air combat
training system.

"The monetary value of the award is not significant when you look at the
corporation`s total profits," said Dick Koon, president of Cubic Worldwide
Technical Services, which works with Cubic Defense Systems -- both part of
Cubic`s Defense Group -- to provide the logistics support. "But these awards
mean a lot to us. They represent our company`s values and our commitment to
provide service that consistently exceeds our customers` expectations."

KITS is the U.S. military`s first "untethered" or portable air combat training
system. It consists of 12-foot training "pods," which look like missiles and are
fastened under the wings of fighter jets. The pods contain electronics that
track and record the pilot`s tactical and weapon employment performance during
air combat training missions. The technology allows the pilots, upon completing
their training missions, to review and analyze their performance on computer
display systems, also developed by Cubic.

The Air Force evaluates Cubic`s performance on the service contract every six
months. The February award came as Cubic`s Kadena-based crew completed its
biggest month ever, simultaneously completing deployments in Osan, Korea,
Thailand and Singapore, as well as supporting training at the Kadena Air Base.
In January, the crew supported more than 1,200 sorties and had the highest
percentage of operational pods ever -- 48 of 49 pods operational.

John Howard, the Cubic site manager at Kadena, noted that his crew set a record
for the most sorties supported in one day -- 109; and the most sorties supported
in one month, 1,208; and the longest deployment to date -- 35 days at Osan AB.

"Our job is to keep air combat training pods available for customer use whenever
needed," said Barry Marks, Asia regional manager, Cubic Worldwide Technical
Services. "We have always been serious about our mission, and with the current
war on terrorism, the work we do is more important than ever."

Cubic Defense Systems and Cubic Worldwide Technical Services are part of the
Cubic Defense Group, which provides instrumented air and ground combat training
systems, battle command training simulations, and simulation support for U.S.
and allied military forces. The Group also produces high technology avionics,
data links and communications products for government and commercial customers
and provides a wide range of technical and logistics services. The Cubic
Transportation Systems Group, Cubic`s other major segment, designs and

Cubic Awarded $1.8 Million Contract For Joint STARS Air Data Terminal


SAN DIEGO, Calif., Mar 12, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Defense Systems, a
subsidiary of San Diego-based Cubic Corp. (AMEX: CUB), has been awarded a $1.8
million contract from Northrop Grumman to provide an Air Data Terminal and spare
equipment for the Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (Joint STARS).

From a standoff position, Joint STARS detects, locates, classifies, tracks and
targets hostile ground movements, communicating real-time information through
secure data links with U.S. Air Force and Army command posts. Air Data Terminals
(ADTs) are one component of Cubic`s Joint STARS data link used to broadcast
images and moving target information from the U.S. Air Force E-8C Joint STARS
reconnaissance aircraft to U.S. Army ground stations equipped with Cubic-built
Ground Data Terminals.

The new ADT will be included in a lot shipment scheduled for delivery to
Northrop Grumman in the summer of 2003. Cubic will deliver spare equipment
concurrently.

Cubic announced the new contract as the company gets ready to deliver a
previously ordered ADT to Northrop Grumman.

"With this latest contract, the Joint STARS data link has generated close to
$220 million for Cubic. It is a result of the Department of Defense`s continued
investment in the Joint STARS program," said David S. Miller, program manager
for Cubic`s Joint STARS data link.

Cubic Defense Systems is part of the Cubic Defense Applications Group, which
provides instrumented air and ground combat training systems, battle command
training simulations, and simulation support for U.S. and allied military
forces. The group also produces high technology avionics, data links and
communications products for government and commercial customers and provides a
wide range of technical and logistics services. For more information about

Cubic Introduces New Combat Search-and-Rescue Product Line to International Avionics Community


SAN DIEGO & LONDON, Mar 13, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Defense Applications
Group, a major segment of Cubic Corp. (AMEX: CUB), has introduced an advanced
Combat Search-and-Rescue (CSAR) product line that uses global positioning
satellite technology, two-way voice communications and digital moving maps to
locate downed or missing pilots.

The avionics hardware and software package was unveiled to the international
avionics community at the SAR 2002 Conference & Exhibition -- the world`s
leading search-and-rescue event, held March 12-13 at Brighton, U.K.

The system consists of two main components: the Survivor Tracking and Recovery
(STAR) guidance system, which is located inside the rescue helicopter; and the
compatible URX 3000 handheld survival radio/transponder, which is carried by the
survivors.

"The need for a complete, interoperable system has never been greater with the
continued threats facing aircrews around the world. Cubic`s package is designed
to increase survivability for those pilots shot down within hostile territory.
It is the first complete CSAR system that requires only a single interrogation
to determine the exact location of one or several survivors," said Rick Lober,
senior vice president of Cubic`s Communications Business Unit.

The package evolved from the Cubic-developed AN/ARS-6(V) Personnel Locator
System, the standard search-and-rescue avionics system for the U.S. Army, Air
Force, Navy and NATO.

The airborne STAR system can be configured for both military and civilian
search-and-rescue missions. It displays the survivor`s position as an icon on a
moving map, or via a digitized compass on the control display panel.

STAR can store multiple survivor identification codes and frequencies, allowing
rescue crews to locate several survivors in a single mission. It also uses
encoded burst transmissions for secure communications between the survivor and
rescue aircraft. The system is designed for simple installation aboard
search-and-rescue helicopters. No system calibration or alignment is needed on
the aircraft.

The URX 3000 GPS radio, introduced earlier in the year works with both STAR and
Cubic`s AN/ARS-6(V) guidance system. It is smaller, lighter and has better range
performance than any other survival radio. It features 12-channel GPS for
precise location; secure data transmissions; one million ID codes; and 3,000 UHF
channels.

Cubic Defense Applications Group produces instrumented air and ground combat
training systems, battle command training, simulations and simulation support
for U.S. and allied military forces. The group also produces high technology
avionics, data links and communications products for government and commercial
customers, and a wide range of technical and logistics services. The
corporation`s other major segment, Cubic Transportation Systems, designs and
manufactures automatic fare collection systems for public mass transit
authorities.

Cubic Wins Euro2.2 Million Contract to Deliver the Netherland`s First ``Gated`` Public Transit Fare Collection System


SAN DIEGO, Mar 20, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Transportation Systems Ltd.,
in England, a subsidiary of San Diego-based Cubic Corp. (AMEX: CUB), has received
a Euro2.2 million ($2 million U.S.) contract from the Rotterdam Electronic Tram
(RET) to install the Netherlands` first "gated" public transit fare collection
system.

Under the contract, Cubic will provide and maintain an innovative access control
system for six new stations of the Benelux Line in Rotterdam, the most recent
extension of the Rotterdam metro network, which begins operation this year. The
system consists of gates and a central computing sub-system.

The new system has a series of gates that allow the traveller access to the
station with tram, bus card or season ticket. Data is loaded to and collected
from the gates by the computer sub-system. With the new system, RET can easily
obtain information regarding travel patterns which will help in planning for the
transportation needs of the future. The system will provide RET several benefits
including increased revenue by reducing fare evasion, the mentioned travel data
and very importantly, provide added security by restricting access to legitimate
passengers. This last aspect is in concert with Cubic`s expansion into security
access control. The design of the access system also allows RET to connect to a
national electronic ticketing system. The Netherlands has plans for such a
system and this contract with RET places Cubic in a good position for the
future.

Cubic, the world leader in automated fare collection, is teamed with EDS, a
leader in IT operation and management, on this project as well as other joint
pursuits in Europe. Cubic is providing the entire system while EDS is providing
operational services.

According to RET commercial director, Trix van Bennekom, "When deciding on Cubic
and EDS, we chose a combination of international expertise and practical
experience in order to guarantee the best possible solution for our passengers."

Ray deKozan, chairman, Cubic Transportation Systems, said, "We are pleased to be
working on this, our first transit project in the Netherlands and proud that our
proven expertise and reputation in the international community, especially in
London, positioned us to be selected for this project. Our hope is that this is
to be the first of several transit projects in the Netherlands."

Cubic is the world`s largest supplier of integrated ticketing and automated fare
collection systems for mass transit, including magnetic and smart card ticket
media.

Every year, at least 10 billion passengers on five continents in more than 40
major markets pay for their mass transit rides using Cubic-designed payment
systems. Cubic`s installations include London, Washington DC, Hong Kong,
Chicago, New York, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Atlanta, San Francisco, Sydney,
Singapore and Miami, among others.

Cubic`s other major segment, the Cubic Defense Group, provides instrumented air
and ground combat training systems, battle command training simulations, and
simulation support for United States and allied military forces. The Group also
produces high technology avionics, data links and communications products for
government and commercial customers and provides a wide range of technical and

Cubic`s Advanced Electronic Ticketing System Operational In RMV (Frankfurt) Region in Germany


SAN DIEGO, and FRANKFURT, Germany, Mar 27, 2002 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via
COMTEX/ -- The Rhein Main Verkehrsverbund (RMV) and Hanau Strassenbahn (HSB)
have launched a pilot for an advanced electronic ticketing system. This pilot is
the prototype for a comprehensive electronic ticketing system for the entire RMV
region; one of the largest Public Transport regions in Europe. The system is
being provided by a team of T-Systems, a subsidiary of Deutsche Telecom, and
Cubic Transportation Systems, Ltd., (CTSL), a subsidiary of Cubic Corporation
(Amex: CUB). CTSL is Cubic`s European company for transportation.

The new system employs advanced technology including a microprocessor, dual
interface (contact-contactless) smart card and check-in/check-out bus
Validators. The check-in/check-out Validator processes tickets on both entry and
exit. Check-in/check-out allows the application of distance-based fares (such as
zones) without driver intervention. This is a major breakthrough in providing
transit operators increased flexibility and revenue.

The system also includes the use of the Cubic Tri-Reader(R) (supporting a
variety of card technologies and applications), a transaction management
computer and software, hand-held inspection units and a wireless communication
network that transmits data from the buses to the depot computer systems.

The new ticketing system has been installed on more than 60 buses operated by
Hanauer Strassenbahn AG (HSB) in Hanau. Hanau is approximately 20 km from
Frankfurt and sits at the eastern end of the vital transportation route that
runs through the Rhine-Main region.

Since the security features of the dual interface smart card are compatible with
German national "electronic purses," such as GeldKarte, it has the capability of
multiple applications in addition to transportation. The pilot also promotes a
national electronic ticketing standard, which is supported by the Verband
-Deutscher Verkehrsunternehmen, a body of public transport operators in Germany.

Cubic`s "Check-In/Check-Out" Validator will also be used in projects underway in
the U.S. that will link all buses and rail throughout Washington, D.C., Maryland
and Northern Virginia.

CTSL is the largest and most experienced provider of automated fare collection
systems in Europe with contracts in London and throughout the United Kingdom,
Holland, Germany and Scandinavia.

Cubic Transportation Systems is the world`s largest supplier of integrated
electronic ticketing systems, and has contracts for public transit systems in
North America, Europe and Asia. Every year, nearly 10 billion people use Cubic
systems in more than 40 major markets in five continents, including London,
Washington, D.C., Hong Kong, Chicago, New York, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Atlanta,
San Francisco, Singapore and Miami. As part of the TranSys consortium, Cubic
also is supplying the entire automated fare collection system for the London
PRESTIGE project.

Cubic`s other major segment, the Cubic Defense Applications Group, provides
instrumented air and ground combat training systems, battle command training
simulations, and simulation support for U. S. and allied military forces. The
Group also produces high technology avionics, data links and communications
products for government and commercial customers and provides a wide range of
technical and logistics services. For more information about Cubic, see the

Cubic Wins $9.8 M Common Ground Station/Joint Tactical Terminal -CGS/JTT- Contract from U.S. Army; Cubic`s Data Link Technology Key to Program Since 1993


SAN DIEGO, Apr 16, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The U.S. Army`s
Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) has awarded the defense unit of Cubic
Corp. (AMEX: CUB) a $9.8 million contract for 10 additional Ground Data
Terminals, part of the Army`s CGS/JTT System and used with the Joint
Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (Joint STARS) program.

Between July 2003 through November 2003, Cubic will deliver 10 additional Ground
Data Terminals (GDTs) to CECOM in increments of two per month. This contract
brings the total amount awarded under the program to Cubic, since its first
Joint Stars contract in 1993, to about $202 million.

"This recent order, and the overall success of the Cubic Data Link product
validates not only the importance of our technology and the JSTARS platform to
past and current U.S. operations, but the dedication of those associated with
the program these past 9 years," said Rick Lober, Senior Vice President,
Communications for Cubic`s Defense Applications group.

Joint STARS is a joint Army and Air Force program that transmits command and
control data from Air Force surveillance aircraft to United States and Allied
commanders on the ground. The Cubic-built data link, one of the key elements of
Joint STARS, is a jam-resistant radio communications system that allows radar

Cubic Awarded $6 Million to Upgrade Taiwan Air Combat Training System


SAN DIEGO, Apr 29, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The U.S. Air Force has awarded Cubic
Corp. (AMEX: CUB) a $6 million contract to provide significant upgrades to the
Taiwan Air Force`s air combat training system.

The software and hardware upgrades will increase the range`s air coverage for
real-time missions and improve the training capability of the existing Air
Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (ACMI) system. The enhancements include the
addition of two remote sites, new weapon simulations and changes that will allow
the Taiwan Air Force to maintain training capability despite cellular telephone
interference.

The contract, awarded by the Air Armament Center, Eglin Air Force Base, is a
follow-on to a $28 million contract for the Taiwan Global Positioning Satellite
(GPS) ACMI Program, or Taiwan GAP, that Cubic received in 1999 from the U.S. Air
Force.

Cubic delivered the Taiwan GAP in December 2000. Using GPS technology, the
system supports pilot training in Taiwan F-5 and F-16 aircraft, as well as the
twin-engine Indigenous Defense Fighter (IDF) aircraft.

"The enhancements will provide important new capabilities for our customer,
including an expanded range coverage, that will provide more flexibility and
improve fighter pilot effectiveness. We are proud of our continuing relationship
with the U.S. and Taiwan Air Forces," said Gerry Dinkel, president and CEO of
the Cubic Defense Applications group.

Phil Fisch, business development director for training systems, explained that
the Taiwan GAP allows both "rangeless" and "tethered" air combat training
missions.

"The rangeless, GPS-based operations allow the Taiwan Air Force to train in any
available airspace -- outside the boundaries of the range. The tethered air
combat training missions, on the other hand, rely on fixed ground infrastructure
within the range," Fisch said. "With these unique features, the Taiwan GAP is
one of the most capable ACMI systems of its kind."

The system is based on the Nellis Air Combat Training System (NACTS) that Cubic
installed at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. Both systems support up to 100
high-activity aircraft and up to 100 simultaneous weapon simulations in a single
training exercise.

The flight data from the training missions, such as the pilots` maneuvers and
simulated weapons firings, is collected by instrumentation pods that are mounted
on the aircraft.

The pods, which are about the size and shape of AIM 9 missiles, collect and
transmit the data to the nearest remote tracking site on the range. The remote
sites are equipped with microwave data transmission equipment and are linked to
a single centrally located master site. The data is sent from the master site to
a central processing facility, where the missions are monitored in real-time and
data is recorded for pilot debriefs.

The debriefs provide complete training mission reconstruction after the
exercises at five training locations throughout Taiwan.

For the initial Taiwan GAP contract, Cubic provided 24 pods, six sets of display
and debriefing equipment, a control and computation subsystem, communication
instrumentation and associated data, spares, software, support, and test
equipment.

Work on the upgrades has begun at Cubic`s San Diego facilities and is scheduled
to be completed in March 2004.

The Cubic Defense Applications group, one of Cubic`s two major segments,
produces instrumented air and ground combat training systems, battle command
training, simulations and simulation support for U.S. and allied military
forces. The group also produces high technology avionics, data links and
communications products for government and commercial customers, and a wide
range of technical and logistics services. The corporation`s other major
segment, Cubic Transportation Systems, designs and manufactures automatic fare
collection systems for public mass transit authorities. For more information

Cubic Second Quarter 2002 Earnings Up 30 Percent


SAN DIEGO, May 1, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- San Diego-based Cubic Corporation
(AMEX: CUB) today reported a 30 percent increase in net income on a sales
increase of 13 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to the
same quarter in fiscal 2001. The company notes that per share amounts reported
for the quarter reflect the April 30, 2002 three-for-one stock split.

Sales for the quarter increased 13 percent to $138,493,000 from $122,826,000 for
the second quarter of fiscal 2001. Net income for the quarter was 30 percent
higher than net income for the second quarter of last year, $6,441,000 or 24
cents per share (72 cents on a pre-split basis) for 2002, compared to $4,965,000
or 19 cents per share in 2001.

Net income for the first half of 2002 was $12,132,000 or 45 cents per share
($1.36 on a pre-split basis) on sales of $262,370,000, compared to $9,634,000 or
36 cents per share on sales of $243,160,000 in the prior year.

Of the increase in net income for the quarter, $437,000 (2 cents per share) is
the result of the new accounting rules related to goodwill implemented in fiscal
2002; and of the increase in net income for the first half of 2002, $873,000 (3
cents per share) is attributed to the new accounting rules for goodwill.

The company`s 8 percent increase in revenue for the first half of the year
compared to 2001 was due to higher sales from the defense segment, particularly
sales of communications and electronics products and growth from the
computerized battlefield simulation business. In addition to the sales increase,
improved gross profit margins in the defense business resulted in a considerable
improvement in operating profits.

"For the first half of 2002, both the company`s defense and transportation
segments reported strong results with the improvement compared to last year
coming from the defense segment," said Cubic President and Chief Executive
Officer Walter J. Zable.

The company`s total backlog, including unfunded customer orders increased to
$1,218,000,000 at March 31, 2002, compared to $1,095,000,000 at September 30,
2001 and $1,035,000,000 at March 31, 2001. Included in the backlog amounts was
funded backlog of $817,000,000 at March 31, 2002, $738,000,000 at September 30,
2001 and $765,000,000 at March 31, 2001.

Cubic Wins $4 Million Award to Provide Data Link For Military Weapon System Testing and Training


SAN DIEGO, May 20, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The U.S. Air Force has awarded Cubic
Corp. (AMEX: CUB) a $4 million contract to develop an advanced, two-way data link
that will dramatically improve data communications among the military`s weapon
system testing and training products.

The radio frequency link -- based on Cubic`s breakthrough Tactical Common Data
Link (TCDL) technology -- will be at the heart of the Multi-Service Target
Control System (MSTCS). The tri-service MSTCS program will improve the
interoperability of target control systems at various Department of Defense test
and training ranges.

Target control systems allow troops to fire their actual weapons at aerial and
surface targets, or "drones," such as unmanned aircraft and tanks, in realistic
operational scenarios. The drones may operate autonomously or remotely by
personnel at ground control stations. Cubic will provide the data relay between
the targets and control stations.

"This is a strategically important win for Cubic, because it represents our
first entry into the weapon system testing and training market," said Gerald
Dinkel, president and CEO of the Cubic Defense Applications group. "It also
represents the first sale of our TCDL technology, which builds on the success of
our Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (Joint STARS) data link."

For MSTCS, Cubic will develop a Data Link Transceiver (DLT), which allows
high-performance communications between multiple targets and ground control
stations. The contract, awarded by the Air Force Materiel Command, Air Armament
Center at Eglin AFB, calls for the development of 10 prototype DLTs. If all
options are exercised, the total award will exceed $8 million and include more
than 100 data link transceivers.

"This award indicates strong customer confidence in Cubic, which has been a
long-standing, reliable supplier of Air Combat Training Systems to the Air
Force," said Philip J. Fisch, Business Development director for Cubic`s Training
Systems. "The award also opens up new business opportunities for us -- not only
in the Air Combat Training Systems product area -- but also for the instrumented
test and training market."

David Moehle, program manager and project engineer for the DLT, noted that
Cubic`s TCDL was developed under an internal research-and-development and was
proven in tests conducted by the Joint Interoperability Test Command.

The MSTCS data link will be a modified version of the TCDL, a digital Common
Data Link designed to transfer radar images and data from manned and unmanned
aerial vehicles to Navy ships and Army ground stations. It is smaller and less
expensive than current common data links. The TCDL uses commercially available
components and is fully interoperable with other data link systems.

Cubic currently provides the jam-resistant Surveillance and Control Data Link
(SCDL) for Joint STARS, a sophisticated battlefield management system that
allows US and NATO commanders to look behind enemy lines and obtaining
intelligence and targeting data. Cubic is also providing a similar broadcast
data link for the UK`s Airborne Stand-Off Radar System.

The Cubic Defense Applications group, one of Cubic`s two major segments,
provides instrumented air and ground combat training systems, battle command
training, simulations and simulation support for U.S. and allied military
forces. The group also produces high technology avionics, data links and
communications products for government and commercial customers, and a wide
range of technical and logistics services. The corporation`s other major
segment, Cubic Transportation Systems, designs and manufactures automatic fare
collection systems for public mass transit authorities. For more information

Cubic Makes Final Relocation Plans in U.K.; Move from Merstham to Salfords Will Enhance Efficiency and Support Company`s Commitment to European Growth


SAN DIEGO, May 28, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- San Diego-based Cubic Corp.
(AMEX: CUB) is in the final planning and design phases of a facility relocation
this fall from Merstham, Surrey, England, to Salfords, Surrey, for Cubic
Transportation Systems Ltd. (CTSL), headquarters for the company`s
European-based mass transit fare collection operation.

"With this relocation, we are creating a more efficient U.K. operation," said
Ray deKozan, chairman of Cubic Transportation Systems (CTS). "Purchasing and
refurbishing the Salfords property also demonstrates Cubic`s commitment to
growing our business in Europe."

More than 700 employees currently work at the facility in Merstham, which became
Cubic`s U.K. headquarters in 1977 after the company entered the U.K. market.

Cubic was awarded a Research and Development pilot automatic fare collection
contract in 1979. Its success led to the award of a systemwide contract in 1985.
This system was completed in 1988. From 1988-1998, Cubic had continuous
contracts with London Transport to enhance, expand and maintain the system.

In 1998, London Transport awarded the TranSys consortium the "PRESTIGE" Private
Finance Initiative (PFI) contract to provide a new smart card-based ticketing
and fare collection system for the London Underground and city buses. As part of
the consortium, Cubic is providing all of the system infrastructure and
maintenance. Cubic also has contracts with many of the train operating companies
in the U.K. for gates, and ticket office machines. The company is also
performing fare collection contracts for the city of Hanau, Germany and
Rotterdam in Holland. Both of these have the potential to lead to other
PRESTIGE-size contracts in Europe.

The new Salfords facility, acquired by Cubic in January 2002, is within a
15-minute walk of the A23, the original London-to-Brighton roadway. It is served
by buses and within a five-minute walk of the local train station -- a direct
link to London`s Victoria Station and Gatwick International Airport.

Cubic Transportation Systems, one of Cubic`s two major segments, designs and
manufactures automatic fare collection systems for public mass transit
authorities. The Cubic Defense Applications group, the other major segment,
provides instrumented air and ground combat training systems, battle command
training, simulations and simulation support for U.S. and allied military
forces. The group also produces high technology avionics, data links and
communications products for government and commercial customers, and a wide
range of technical and logistics services. For more information about Cubic, see

Cubic Corporation Reports a 34% Increase in Third Quarter Earnings and 10.5% Dividend Increase


SAN DIEGO, Jul 30, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- San Diego-based Cubic Corporation
(AMEX: CUB) today reported a 34 percent increase in earnings for the third
quarter of fiscal 2002 and a 16 percent increase in sales from the same period
last year. Total backlog at June 30, 2002 was $1,180,000,000.

Net income for the third quarter was $7.1 million or 27 cents per share compared
to $5.3 million or 20 cents per share for the same period in 2001. Third quarter
2002 sales were $148.2 million, compared to $127.2 for the same period in 2001.

For the first three quarters of fiscal year 2002, net income was $19.3 million
or 72 cents per share, up 29 percent from $15 million or 56 cents per share last
year. For the first three quarters of fiscal year 2002, sales were $410.6
million, compared to nine month sales of $370.4 million for fiscal 2001, an
increase of 11 percent.

Reported per share amounts above reflect the April 2002 three-for-one stock
split. Before the stock split, net income for the third quarter would have been
81 cents compared to 60 cents per share for the same period in 2001, and for the
first three quarters, pre-stock-split net income for 2002 would have been $2.16
per share, up from $1.68 per share last year.

Goodwill charges in 2001 were $425,000 or 2 cents per share for the third
quarter of 2001 and $1.3 million or 5 cents per share for the first nine months,
whereas no goodwill charges were reflected in 2002.

Total backlog, including unfunded 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.

"Operating profits from our defense and transportation segments continue to
improve and are up a combined 40 percent for the nine months, while investment
income was down $2.3 million from a year ago. We now expect earnings to improve
in the vicinity of 30 percent for the year, rather than 20 percent, as we
projected in the first quarter," said Cubic Corp. President and CEO Walter J.
Zable.

"In light of the current financial turmoil in the markets, it is important that
we also take this opportunity to state that Cubic has a strong, sound balance
sheet, and neither our officers, employees, nor I have stock options that could
dilute future earnings," he added.



Cubic Board of Directors Approves Higher Dividend

Cubic`s Board of Directors has approved a semi-annual dividend of 7 cents per
share, to be paid on August 30, 2002, to shareholders of record at the close of
business on August 9, 2002. The dividend represents a 10.5 percent increase, the
equivalent of 14 cents per share annually. This is the same impact as an
increase from 38 cents to 42 cents annually before the April 2002 three-for-one
stock split. Cubic has paid uninterrupted semi-annual dividends for 30 years.

While the sales growth in the first six months of the year came from Cubic`s
defense business, the third quarter increase came primarily from the
transportation segment. Year-to-date sales improvement was the result of higher
sales in both segments.

The transportation segment sales increase in the current year is due to higher
work volume on contracts for Bay Area Rapid Transit, Vancouver`s B.C. Rapid
Transit and the extension of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transportation
Authority smart card ticketing service for buses in Maryland and Virginia.
Another factor was increased activity on the Prestige contract in London, where
installation of the system is nearly completed and smart cards are being phased
in.

Defense segment improvement compared to last year is due to increased activity
from recently awarded contracts for the company`s battle command training,
maintenance, communications equipment, and laser-based MILES products.



Operating Profits

The transportation segment`s profits continued to be strong and were higher for
the third quarter and first nine months compared to the same periods last year,
but Cubic`s significant earnings improvement from last year is mostly due to its
defense segment. The defense segment improvement came primarily as a result of
increased sales in its operations and services business, and improved profit
margins in MILES and communications products.



Outlook

The company expects strong earnings in the fourth quarter and through 2003.
Sales growth is also expected as the company positions itself to win new
business to meet the demand for defense and automated fare collection systems.

Cubic is benefiting from the need among cities, particularly those in the
untapped medium-sized markets, for upgraded, high-tech automatic fare collection
hardware and software systems for public transit. Current customers, such as
transit authorities in the Washington D. C. and New York metropolitan areas, are
expanding their fare collection systems with airport links and advanced systems
that make travel faster and fare collection more efficient. The transportation
segment continues to improve customer service in order to maintain the kinds of
relationships that have after 30 years made Cubic the leading supplier of
end-to-end fare collection systems. While the company focuses on the existing
and emerging domestic markets` demand for state-of-the art fare collection
systems, new opportunities exist internationally, particularly in Europe. Cubic
has start-up automatic fare collection systems in Germany and The Netherlands.
This places the company in good position for near and long-term business in
Europe.

Management sees a demand by the U.S. and allied governments for high-tech battle
command training applications, services and communications equipment. Cubic
recently successfully completed U.S. government tests of its Common Data Link
equipment. Passing these military compliance tests opens the door for Cubic to
compete for business on a broad range of programs.

Addressing new national priorities, Cubic is exploring new opportunities in the
area of Homeland Defense/Security. The company is building on its systems
integration experience and technology in both defense and transportation and the
established presence of its smart card technology in key metropolitan areas to
develop solutions for high-security access control for borders, airports and
other public and private locations.

Cubic is working with potential partners to demonstrate the benefits of
integrating biometrics functions into smart-card based systems to help
positively identify and authenticate personal characteristics of cardholders.
The company sees potential smart card security applications opportunities in
both military and civilian markets at the Federal, state and local levels.
Management expects that over the next two to three years, the company will be
involved in customer-funded trials that could lead to new Homeland
Security/Defense business as these emerging markets take shape.

On current government contracts, Cubic is already involved in helping agencies
plan and prepare for contingencies through high-level simulations and exercises
involving real-world scenarios. This effort is expected to continue and provide
basic insights for products, procedures and systems to deter, counter or manage
the consequences of a wide range of future threats.

Cubic Delivers Intermodal Fare Payment System For Vancouver`s New Millennium Line


SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, Oct 1, 2002 (CCNMatthews via COMTEX) -- Cubic
Transportation Systems Inc., a subsidiary of San Diego-based Cubic Corp.
(AMEX: CUB), announced it has completed delivery of a new intermodal fare payment
system to TransLink of Vancouver, B.C., for the agency`s new SkyTrain
"Millennium Line."

The new line opened to the public on August 31.

The delivery was part of a US$18 million contract that Cubic received in April,
2001, to develop the fare payment system. The system includes advanced
touchscreen ticket vending machines that issue a common magnetic farecard that
is good across the region`s rail, bus and ferry services. The high-tech machines
-- the same type Cubic built for New York City`s MetroCard(SM) system -- are
able to issue instructions in six languages, making it even more convenient for
commuters.

"This new fare collection system will make it easier for our customers and
especially tourists to use the system," said TransLink CEO Pat Jacobsen.

"We are pleased that as part of the Millennium Line system opening, we have
delivered Vancouver`s total ticketing solution, which will create greater access
to transportation throughout the region," said Walter C. Zable, president and
CEO of Cubic Transportation Systems Inc. "TransLink`s system uses technology
that will transform Vancouver`s mass transit into an invaluable resource for
this region."

The new system includes back office computer processing technology that will
enable TransLink to better manage fare collection revenues. Cubic also designed
the new electronic bus fare collection system for TransLink, which currently is
operational on more than 1,150 of the city`s nearly 1,270 buses.

The Millennium Line is the extension to the SkyTrain light rail system, which
includes the existing Expo Line. In early fall, Cubic will begin delivering
additional ticketing machines that will be installed across the Expo Line`s 21
stations. Each of the machines is equipped with Cubic`s new Tri-Reader(TM)
technology, which "reads" any one of three types of smart cards, allowing
TransLink the option of switching from magnetic stripe to smart cards in the
future.

Cubic is the world`s leading system integrator for regional multi-operator
intermodal ticketing systems utilizing magnetic and smart card technologies.
Installations include New York and Chicago, where passengers use the same
farecard to ride bus and rail. Cubic`s smart card systems are in North America
(Washington, D.C., and Chicago), Europe and Asia.

Every year, nearly 10 billion rides are taken worldwide using Cubic-designed
payment systems in more than 40 major markets in cities on five continents,
including London, Washington, D.C., Hong Kong, Chicago, New York, Guangzhou,
Shanghai, Atlanta, San Francisco, Singapore and Miami. As part of the TranSys
consortium, Cubic also is supplying the entire automated fare collection system
including smart cards for the London PRESTIGE project.

The company`s other major business segment, Cubic`s Defense Applications group,
produces instrumented air and ground combat training systems, battle command
training, simulations and simulation support for U.S. and allied military
forces. The group also produces high technology avionics, data links and
communications products for government and commercial customers, and a wide
range of technical and logistics services. Visit Cubic on the Web at

Cubic Reports Record High Sales and Earnings Company Expects Continued Growth


SAN DIEGO, Dec 9, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Corp. (AMEX: CUB) today reported
record high sales and earnings for fiscal 2002. Earnings for the fiscal year
ended Sept. 30, 2002 were up 41 percent, and sales for the year were up 12
percent from last year.

Operating profits (before tax, employee profit sharing and bonus payments) for
the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2002 were $54,098,000, compared to $44,752,000
for fiscal 2001.

Earnings (after tax, employee profit sharing and bonus payments) for the fiscal
year ended Sept. 30, 2002 were $29,437,000 or $1.10 per share ($3.30 before a
3-for-1 stock split), compared to $20,842,000 or 78 cents per share ($2.34
pre-split) for fiscal 2001. Sales for 2002 were $559,604,000, compared to
$501,679,000 for fiscal 2001.

Fourth quarter 2002 earnings were up 73 percent, and sales for the period were
up 14 percent from last year. Fourth quarter earnings were $10,177,000 or 38
cents per share ($1.14 pre-split), compared to $5,884,000 or 22 cents per share
(66 cents pre-split) for 2001. Sales for the quarter were $149,026,000, compared
to $131,230,000 for the same period last year.

Operating profits increased in both of Cubic`s major segments, most
significantly in the defense segment. In addition, a change in accounting rules
for Goodwill added $1,715,000 after taxes, or 6 cents per share for the year,
and a non-recurring fourth quarter tax benefit added $2,460,000 or 9 cents per
share.

The company expects that sales and operating income will continue to grow next
year. New contract bookings are expected to increase substantially in fiscal
2003, which should result in continued growth in fiscal 2004.

Total backlog, including unfunded contracted orders, at Sept. 30, 2002 was
$1,165,000,000 compared to $1,095,000,000 at Sept. 30, 2001. Cubic`s funded
backlog at the end of fiscal 2002 was $777,000,000, compared to $738,000,000 at
the end of last year.

"There is a high demand for our defense and transportation products and
services," said Cubic President and CEO Walter J. Zable. "We are determined to
win new and repeat business, and focused on earning customer trust and loyalty."



Defense Segment -- 2002 Performance

Defense sales increased 11 percent -- to $314 million in fiscal 2002 from $282
million in fiscal 2001. Much of the growth came from a 22 percent increase in
the segment`s battlefield simulation and operation and maintenance businesses.
In addition, the segment had strong sales of both ground and air combat training
systems.

Operating profits for Defense more than doubled to $17.9 million from $7.6
million in fiscal 2001. The most significant improvement came from the company`s
ground and air combat training systems. The company`s products and services are
expected to generate significant new orders from a variety of military and
government customers in the U.S. and internationally.



Transportation Systems -- 2002 Performance

Transportation sales increased 13 percent to $231 million in fiscal 2002 from
$205 million last year. The segment`s North American market generated
significant new business, and the European market, specifically the United
Kingdom, remained strong. The company continued its good progress on the London
Prestige contract, meeting its major milestones. Nearly all equipment is
installed, and the system functions well. The company is pursuing additional
opportunities in both North America and continental Europe.

Operating profits for the transportation segment increased by 8 percent to $23.3
million for 2002, compared to $21.6 million in 2001. The increase came despite
severance costs from closing an outdated U.K. facility and legal costs from a
dispute of an Australian contract tender.



Homeland Security

In addition to growing its core businesses, the company has been successful --
with minimal investment -- in marketing its products and services to government
agencies looking to answer the need for Homeland Security resources. Cubic`s
competitive position in its core businesses remains strong, as reflected in
record high sales and earnings. At the same time, technologies from Defense and
Transportation -- from smart card access control technology to communications
products to senior-level doctrine development and consulting -- apply to the
government`s critical mission areas for homeland defense and security. The
company has won small, but strategically significant contracts in domestic
counterterrorism and data mining, and is positioning itself with potential
teammates on future business in a wide range of homeland defense and security
areas.

The Cubic Defense Applications Group produces instrumented air and ground combat
training systems, battle command training studies and analysis, simulations, and
simulation support for U.S. and allied military forces. The Group also produces
high technology avionics, data links and communications products for government
and commercial customers, and provides a wide range of technical and logistics
services. The corporation`s other major segment, Cubic Transportation Systems,
designs and manufactures automatic fare collection systems -- including the most
advanced smart card system -- for public mass transit authorities worldwide.

In addition to historical matters, this release contains forward-looking
statements which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements
involve predictions of future results. 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, economic conditions
in the various countries in which the company does or hopes to do business,
competition and technology changes in the defense and transit industries, and
other competitive and technological factors.

Cubic Receives $6.2 Million Joint Tactical Radio System Waveform Development Contract; Company`s Software Will Help the Military Communicate With Public Safety Agencies


SAN DIEGO, Jan 14, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Corp. (AMEX: CUB) has received
a $6.2 million cost-plus-incentive-fee contract from the U.S. Army`s
Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) in support of the Joint Tactical
Radio System (JTRS) Joint Program Office (JPO) to help develop the JTRS.

If exercised, options would bring the total value to almost $14 million.

Under the 18-month contract, the Communications Business Unit of Cubic Defense
Applications will develop waveform software that will help all branches of the
military and multiple public agencies communicate with one another.

"The military has an interest in communicating with public safety radios for
Homeland Security and Defense reasons. This contract win is significant for
Cubic in that it makes us a participant in what is arguably one of the most
important military communications programs today," said Gerald Dinkel, president
and CEO of Cubic Defense Applications (CDA).

The JTRS is a family of software definable tactical radios that provide
commanders with voice, data and video capability. The state-of-the art radios
are based on a common Software Communication Architecture (SCA) that ensures
interoperability-or compatibility-with current and future systems.

JTRS had its genesis in lessons learned from inter-service communication
problems in Grenada and during Operation Desert Storm. Troops were not able to
communicate with one another because the various radio equipment used by the
different services was not interoperable, or compatible, with each other.

Future JTRS compliant military radios will utilize SCA compliant hardware to run
a variety of software-based waveforms for the particular communications format a
radio is designed to use.

"This is a very strategic win for us in that it builds on our experience in what
is known as `software definable radio.` The software used for these radios can
be likened to the software applications that run on a personal computer. It`s
the change in waveform software that allows these radios to be reconfigurable
and interoperable, two key features the Joint Services consider essential for
tactical radio communications, network-centric capabilities and reduced life
cycle costs," said Rick Lober, senior vice president of CDA`s communications
segment.

Cubic`s software will be in compliance with the Association of Public Safety
Communications Officials (APCO)-25, established for the use of digital
technology in modern generation two-way radio communications.

JTRS goal is to migrate today`s legacy radio communications systems to systems
with standard open systems architecture. This migration will be implemented in
phases, balancing operational requirements, weapon system integration issues and
funding constraints.

Cubic Defense Applications, one of Cubic Corp.`s two major segments, produces
instrumented air and ground combat training systems, battle command training,
studies and analysis, simulations and simulation support for U. S. and allied
military forces. The group also produces high technology avionics, data links
and communications products for government and commercial customers, and a wide
range of technical and logistics services. The corporation`s other major
segment, Cubic Transportation Systems, designs and manufactures automatic fare
collection systems for public mass transit authorities. For more information

The San Diego Union-Tribune Local Stocks Column


Jan 19, 2003 (The San Diego Union-Tribune - Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News
via COMTEX) -- Standard & Poor`s Outlook publication lists its "power picks" for
this year the best stock ideas from each of 40 industry analysts.

Invitrogen, which makes life sciences research tools, is one of the picks. The
company will be helped by the "expected steady growth in research and
development spending in the public and private sectors," says S&P. The stock is
rated five stars, S&P`s highest ranking.

Value Line gives Invitrogen only an average (3) rating for both timeliness and
safety. Analyst Keith A. Markey says the company`s sharply improved bottom line
in fiscal 2002 largely comes from an accounting gain. Also, the company made an
acquisition that will slightly dilute earnings.

The company recently rolled out 400 human DNA clones. "The cell culture segment
faces bright prospects, too," says Markey. Profits should grow rapidly in the
2005-2007 period, says the analyst.

CUBIC: While the nation has been talking war for several months, defense stocks
weren`t keeping pace, although they have picked up this year. However, notes
Charles M. LaLoggia of Rochester, N.Y.-based Superstock Investor, Cubic is more
thinly traded than its bigger-name defense industry peers. That was not good
when defense stocks fell out of bed, but LaLoggia expects them to spring back
this year, and the smaller float will be an advantage for Cubic.

He says that $20 is a breakout point for Cubic stock. On Monday, the stock
jumped above it with authority. Previous attempts to puncture $20 were
unsuccessful. Earnings for the year ended Sept. 30 soared 41 percent. "This
stock could emerge as a big winner in 2003," says LaLoggia, particularly since
the company`s transportation operations are also doing well.

LaLoggia says there could be a takeover bid for Cubic, although the company is
not interested in selling out.

QUALCOMM: The global wireless industry is rapidly adopting systems based on
Qualcomm`s CDMA (code division multiple access) technology, says C.F. Kuboyama
of Value Line. There are growing opportunities for semiconductor and royalty
income, says the analyst. The Chinese and Indian markets should boost the top
line in the first half of fiscal 2003.

Value Line looks for $1.25 earnings per share in fiscal 2003 and gives the stock
its highest (1) rating for timeliness and its average (3) for safety.

Cubic Awarded $92 Million to Develop Advanced Ground Combat Training System for the Canadian Army


SAN DIEGO, Mar 4, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Defense Applications, the
defense segment of Cubic Corp. (AMEX: CUB), has received a $92 million contract
to develop an instrumented land-based combat training system for the Canadian
Armed Forces.

The Weapons Effects Simulation (WES) system will allow soldiers to
"train-as-they fight" -- up to the Battle Group level -- during live
force-on-force exercises.

The contract includes the development and installation of training equipment and
facilities over a three-year period. It will be followed by 10 years of
logistics and maintenance support provided by SNC-Lavalin Defence Programs,
Cubic`s Canadian partner.

Under the initial contract, Cubic will provide a fully integrated Direct-Fire
Weapons Effects Simulation (DFWES) system. Key components include the company`s
new Precision Combat Training System; advanced software-based exercise control
and after-action review technology; Cubic`s Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement
System (MILES 2000); and components from Oscmar International Ltd., a subsidiary
of Cubic Corp.

"This is obviously a huge win for us," said Gerald Dinkel, president and CEO of
Cubic Defense Applications (CDA). "It confirms our leadership in live combat
training and will result in Canada having one of the world`s most advanced
systems of its kind."

Cubic and SNC-Lavalin Defense Programs will install the WES equipment at Army
training sites at Wainwright Alberta and Gagetown New Brunswick.

"WES provides the most realistic training possible to meet collective training
objectives for soldiers, leaders, commanders and staff," said Steve Fitzgerald,
WES capture team manager for CDA. "The family of DFWES products provide enhanced
fidelity -- truly replicating the actual characteristics and performance of the
soldiers` weapons in realistic combat environments."

At the heart of WES is an instrumentation system that provides a realistic
combat environment, tracks participants and vehicle movements in near real-time,
and records the information for playback during after-action reviews. The system
software functionality is provided by a component called the PC-Range
Instrumentation System, or PC-RIS.

The instrumentation system works in conjunction with the DFWES products that are
mounted on vehicles or worn by the soldiers in the field. The primary DFWES
products include Cubic`s MILES 2000, Oscmar`s DWFES components, and Cubic`s new
Precision Combat Training System (PCTS). Both systems feature eye-safe laser
engagement capabilities, realistic audio/visual effects and casualties
identified as a "hit," "miss" or "kill."

The PCTS is a dual-simulation system, mounted on armored fighting vehicles, that
supports both precision gunnery and tactical training requirements. For the WES
program, PCTS will be installed on a family of vehicles and weapons systems for
high-fidelity tactical exercises.

"PCTS provides the highest level of training fidelity possible for the Canadian
Army`s main battle tanks and armed fighting vehicles," said Fitzgerald.

He noted that the system is also being offered to several additional
international customers.

MILES 2000, worn by the soldiers and mounted on vehicles, allows troops to fire
infrared "bullets" from the same weapons and vehicles that they would use in
actual combat. For the WES program, Cubic will outfit 2,800 players with DFWES
components.

The Cubic Defense Applications group, one of Cubic`s two major segments,
provides realistic combat training systems for military forces as well
simulation, force modernization, educational services, operations & maintenance
and manufacturing services. The group also supplies products and systems for
C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance &
Reconnaissance) applications, search and rescue avionics and radio
communications for military and civil markets. The corporation`s other major
segment, Cubic Transportation Systems, designs and manufactures automatic fare
collection systems for public mass transit authorities. For more information

Cubic Awarded $3M Contract for High Frequency Equipment for Military Communications


SAN DIEGO, Apr 1, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Defense Applications, a unit of
Cubic Corp. (AMEX: CUB), announced it has received a $3 million contract for the
supply of high frequency (HF) power amplifiers that will be used in military
land-based communications systems.

The amplifiers are part of system being procured under a foreign military sales
contract.

Radio frequency (RF) amplifiers are used in HF communications systems for air
traffic control and military and commercial communications. They have proved to
be extremely reliable for long-range or "over-the-horizon" communications. In
the past, these amplifiers have been used in a number of large U.S. and foreign
HF modernization programs.

"While HF communications has been available from the earliest days of radio, it
remains a reliable and low cost alternative to satellite communications and is
often used in today`s `toughest` circumstances. Cubic`s HF communications
systems played a critical role in communicating with inbound and outbound
international flights during the tragic events of September 11th. This new
program should lead to additional follow-on business with this and other
customers around the world as older systems are upgraded and new systems are
deployed," said Rick Lober, senior vice president for Cubic`s Communications
Business Unit.

Cubic`s High Power Radio Frequency (RF) communications business has been growing

Cubic Begins Negotiations with MARTA for Multi-Million Dollar Smart Card Fare Collection System


SAN DIEGO, Apr 23, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Transportation Systems, a
subsidiary of San Diego-based Cubic Corp. (AMEX: CUB), has begun negotiations
with the Atlanta`s Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) for a
contract to replace the city`s outdated fare collection system with
state-of-the-art smart card technology.

With options, the contract could be worth approximately $100 million.

Cubic`s high-tech gating reduces fare evasion, and its smart card technology
gives commuters a way to prepay, making the fare collection process more
efficient for transit agencies. The MARTA system could eventually be linked to
other Atlanta-area transit agencies, as well as toll roads and airport parking
facilities, providing "intermodal" fare collection in the area.

Cubic is already creating such a regional system in the Washington, D.C. area,
where smart cards are used for rail, bus and parking, and some employers credit
their employees` transit benefits directly on the transit cards. Cubic is
linking the smart card system to 16 other bus and rail agencies in Virginia and
Maryland. Under recently awarded contracts, the company is also creating
regional smart card systems in Los Angeles and San Diego.

Cubic expects negotiations with MARTA to be completed by the end of the summer.

Cubic is the world`s largest provider of integrated electronic ticketing systems
and has smart card contracts for public transit systems in North America, Europe
and Asia. Every year, nearly 10 billion people use Cubic systems in more than 40
major markets in cities on five continents, including London, Washington, D.C.,
Hong Kong, Chicago, New York, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Atlanta, San Francisco,
Singapore and Miami. As part of the TranSys consortium, Cubic also is supplying
the entire automated fare collection system including smart cards for the London
PRESTIGE project.

The corporation`s other major segment, Cubic Defense Applications, provides
realistic combat training systems for military forces as well as simulation,
force modernization, educational services, operations & maintenance and
manufacturing services. The group also supplies products and systems for C4ISR
(Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance &
Reconnaissance) applications, search and rescue avionics and radio
communications for military and civil markets.

Recently, Cubic added a security group to expand its smart card technology into
non-transit uses including security and access control. For more information

WASHINGTON, D.C., Jun 19, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Sparked by a groundswell of
concern over jobs and the economy among transit suppliers -- and at the urging
of several U.S. lawmakers -- a group of companies has banded together to form
"U.S. Transit Suppliers Mean Business," a coalition created to collectively urge
Congress to refine Buy America regulations as they relate to transit projects.

The new coalition, comprised primarily of public transit suppliers, is led by
San Diego-based Cubic Corp. (AMEX: CUB), and so far includes GFI-GENFARE,
Colorado Railcar, GILLIG Corp., Motor Coach Industries Inc. and DRI
(NASDAQ: TBUS).

"The Buy America Act needs a congressional `tune-up,`" said Richard Trenery,
spokesperson for the coalition. "This new coalition has been formed to pinpoint
steps to improve the Buy America provisions to ensure implementation of the
intent of Congress. Proper application of the Buy America provisions will
provide for more American jobs, boost the U.S. economy, and enhance tax revenues
while providing for free and open trade. Without congressional action, thousands
of American jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars worth of American-made
products are in jeopardy," said Trenery.

When federal dollars are used to fund transit projects, all bidders are required
to comply with Buy America regulations.

Several lawmakers have expressed their strong concern to the transit supplier
industry and federal regulators that inconsistencies exist between some
interpretations and applications of the regulations and the intent of Congress
as originally expressed. The coalition is working closely with federal
legislators to realign regulatory decision-making with the letter and spirit of
the law.

To provide the necessary tools and clarity to aid and support decision-making
under the Act, the coalition is advocating a simple, four-step legislative
"tune-up" of the Act:



-- Eliminate the over-one-decade-old "temporary" exemption

related to microprocessors;



-- Restrict the usage of waivers;



-- Clarify and tighten the definition of "manufactured product;"

and



-- Ensure all federal regulatory agency decisions involving Buy

America are subject to review under the Administrative

Procedures Act.

The two most critical economic issues today are "jobs" and the "deficit."
Enforcing the intent of Congress in the Buy America Act will do a great deal to
help both issues.

"By taking action, Congress can immediately benefit American taxpayers, workers
and businesses. In a struggling economy, U.S. citizens want their tax money to
support Americans and American-made products," said Brian Macleod, Senior Vice
President of GILLIG Corp. "With a little effort, Congress can save jobs and help
preserve our economy," said Macleod.

Cubic Signs Contract to Deliver US$95 Million Smart Card-Based Ticketing System and Regional Services to Brisbane, Australia


SAN DIEGO & BRISBANE, Australia, Jul 18, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The
transportation subsidiary of San Diego, California-based Cubic Corporation
(AMEX: CUB) and its Australian subsidiary, Cubic Transportation Systems-Australia
Pty Ltd., have signed a US$95 Million (Aus $134 Million) contract with the
Queensland Government to design, build, operate and maintain the first smart
card-based integrated ticketing system and regional services for public
transport in South East Queensland, Australia.

Cubic will replace the existing paper and magnetic tickets with its "open
system" smart card ticketing technology. The new system will link most urban
rail, bus, and ferry services in the South East Queensland region and allow
public transport commuters to use one smart card to pay for all their fares.

Work on the contract will begin immediately, with a trial scheduled for late
2004. After commissioning of the system, Queensland Transport will turn over all
ticketing system operations and maintenance, regional clearing and settlement,
card management and customer services to Cubic for a minimum of ten years.
Secondary revenues accrued from any third party applications and commercial
opportunities will be shared between Cubic and Queensland Transport, thus
helping to defray the capital cost for the new system.

"Premier Peter Beattie and the Queensland Government have the vision and
commitment to create a world-class public transportation system and a
state-of-the-art regional smart card ticketing system," said Richard Johnson,
president and chief executive officer, Cubic Transportation Systems, Inc. "We
are very proud of the teamwork between Cubic and Queensland Transport`s staff
that has brought this project to fruition. When completed, Queensland will be
the technology showcase for all of Australia, if not the entire Asia-Pacific
region."

Cubic will deliver advanced software, computers, communications, a clearinghouse
for revenue settlement and all system equipment, as well as cardholder services
and a publicly accessible Internet Web site. Using the online "Autoload"
software feature, public transport users can use the customer service Web site
to order and register cards, make account queries and add value to their cards.
Added value can then be collected automatically the next time they use their
cards in the system.

Transport users also will be able to load value on their cards at rail stations,
on buses and via a card distribution network of terminals strategically located
at retail outlets.

The new smart card system is the second stage in the Queensland Government`s
development of a new zone-based public transport system, which will begin with
the formation of TransLink, the centralized transport organization managing the
region`s major transport operators, including Queensland Rail and the AirTrain
rail link to the Brisbane International Airport, 14 private bus companies,
Brisbane Transport buses and local ferry services.

The capability to link transport operators in South East Queensland and extended
throughout all of Queensland and beyond is made possible by Cubic`s open
architecture based on its patented Tri-Reader(R) technology and Nextfare(TM)
Central System. The Tri-Reader, an integral module in all bus, ferry and rail
fare collection equipment, can read any type of contactless smart card meeting
international standards, providing Queensland Transport and other regional
participants a truly open system with flexibility, interoperability and a range
of media choices.

The backbone to this regional gateway is the Nextfare Central System, a
configurable suite of software modules designed using industry standards, open
platforms and commercial off-the-shelf applications. Nextfare supplies the core
smart card transaction processing; financial operations including revenue
clearing, settlement and reporting; a debit/credit account gateway for payments;
customer service database support, and an inherent scalability to provide
additional services when needed.

Cubic has been a leading supplier of ticketing technology and services in
Australia since 1980 when it won the contract for the first automated fare
collection system in New South Wales -- the Eastern Suburbs Line in Sydney. In
1991 Cubic was awarded a contract to equip the entire New South Wales state rail
system with an automatic fare collection system, which has set high availability
standards. Cubic will relocate key personnel from Sydney as well as hire locally
to add highly coveted technology sector jobs in the region. As the prime
contractor, Cubic will work closely with many select local suppliers.

To facilitate interoperability among regional transport operators throughout
Australia, Cubic is an active contributor to the National Ticketing and Tolling
Working Group, whose members are working with Standards Australia to develop a
specification for a nationally accepted public transport smart card. Cubic`s
technology also will enable non-transport applications to reside on the same
smart card, such as retail, parking, and other third-party products and
services.

Cubic Transportation Systems is the world`s leading system provider for regional
multi-operator intermodal ticketing systems. Every year, nearly 10 billion rides
are taken worldwide using Cubic fare collection systems in more than 40 major
markets on five continents, including London; New York; Washington, D.C.;
Baltimore; Sydney; counties in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark; Rotterdam; Chicago;
Atlanta; San Francisco; Los Angeles; Miami; Hong Kong; Guangzhou; Shanghai; and
Singapore.

The corporation`s other major segment, Cubic Defense Applications, provides
instrumented air and ground combat training systems, battle command training,
simulations and simulation support for U.S. and allied military forces. The
group also produces high technology avionics, data links and communications
products for government and commercial customers, and a wide range of technical
and logistics services. For more information about Cubic, see the company`s web

Cubic Hands Over World`s Most Sophisticated Combat Training System to U.K.`s British Army Training Unit, Suffield Contract Includes Two Years of O&M Support with Options for an Additional 13 Years


SAN DIEGO, Jul 22, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The defense segment of Cubic Corp.
(AMEX: CUB) has officially handed over the new Area Weapons Effect Simulator
(AWES) -- the world`s most capable land-based combat training system -- to the
British Army Training Unit at Suffield (BATUS) in Alberta, Canada.

AWES creates the best-ever simulation of a real battle at the British Army`s
BATUS training area in Canada and the U.K.-based Salisbury Plain Training Area.
Cubic Defense Applications handed over the U.K. portion of AWES to the British
Army last December.

AWES gives the British Army its first objective means of measuring troops`
performance during large-scale military exercises. The enhanced Tactical
Engagement Simulation (TES) system accurately tracks, monitors and records the
actions of individual soldiers and combat vehicles for post-mission analysis.
The training realism for both direct and indirect fire far surpasses anything
that has been developed.

"AWES represents a quantum leap for land combat training and serves as a model
for future large-scale training systems," said Gerald Dinkel, president and CEO
of the Cubic Defense Applications (CDA) group. "We are extremely proud to
deliver a system of this caliber to the British Army. We also look forward to
supporting the evolving requirements for AWES for years to come."

Cubic developed, installed and delivered AWES under contracts totaling $130
million that were awarded in 1998. The contracts include two years of operations
and maintenance support, beginning immediately following the handover, with
options for an additional 13 years.

AWES is designed to support joint, combined arms training missions that also
include fixed wing and rotary wing components and is easily adaptable to mobile,
PC-based training systems that can be rapidly deployed.

A key feature of AWES is its timely, accurate simulation of area weapons
effects. In addition to replicating the "direct fire" from individual weapons
and vehicles, the AWES addition to TES training accurately simulates "indirect"
events such as artillery, mortar fire, smoke, nuclear, biological, chemical
attacks, mines and air-delivered munitions.

Other major enhanced TES components added through the AWES contract include new
soldier and vehicle instrumentation systems and a software-based system for
exercise planning, mission control and After Action Reviews. Participants in the
training exercises are equipped with digital communications that indicate their
position, weapons fired and casualty status.

"The integration of indirect threats and 100 percent participant instrumentation
and position tracking into the UK`s combat training exercises is the primary
differentiator that sets AWES apart from all other systems in use today," said
Gary Shrock, CDA vice president, International Ground Combat Training Systems.
"In addition, AWES is the first major combat training center to fully outfit and
instrument its individual soldiers with Cubic`s laser-based MILES 2000 and
position tracking system."

AWES integrates portions of the British Army`s existing Direct Fire Weapons
Engagement System (DFWES) with MILES 2000 - an advanced TES system that allows
soldiers to fire "laser" bullets from the same weapons they`d use in combat. The
DFWES components, provided by Saab, are mounted on combat vehicles and work in
conjunction with Cubic-developed GPS-based instrumentation and tracking systems.

The AWES equipment allows analysts to graphically track the vehicles and
soldiers in near-real time on sophisticated computer-generated maps located in
the Exercise Control Center. (EXCON). The system also captures and records the
players` casualty status, including "hits," "misses" and "kills," and sends the
information to the EXCON for real-time training analysis.

The casualty status of the individual soldiers is provided by MILES 2000. The
soldiers are each equipped with MILES 2000 helmet arrays and vests studded with
laser detectors, and weapons mounted with laser transmitters. The soldiers`
laser transmitters fire laser pulses at targets upon detection of the detonation
of blank rounds fired during simulated battles.

The recorded information is reviewed during AARs, which are conducted in either
a stationary theater or two mobile theaters in the field. The AARs allow
commanders to see accurately and first-hand those areas where troops performed
well, as well as areas that need to be improved.

The two AWES sites feature three buildings for exercise control and logistics
support, and seven infrastructure towers filled with electronic communication
monitoring and control equipment.

Future plans for AWES include the addition of mobile training capabilities and
the integration of the new Bowman radio communication system. AWES is also
designed to support future interoperability with the Helicopter Collective
Training System and the Rangeless Airborne Instrumented Debriefing System.

The Cubic Defense Applications group, one of Cubic`s two major segments,
provides realistic combat training systems for military forces as well as
simulation training, force transformation assistance, educational services,
operations & maintenance, and manufacturing services. The group also supplies
products and systems for C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers,
Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance) applications, search and rescue
avionics and radio communications for military and civil markets. The
corporation`s other major segment, Cubic Transportation Systems, designs and
manufactures automatic fare collection systems for public mass transit
authorities. For more information about Cubic, see the company`s Web site at

the MTA to offer electronic download of pre-paid transit benefits and
`Autoload,` an application that lets transit users link their smart cards to
their credit cards for automatic reload of transit value into the system.
Nextfare also includes advanced operational features that help transit operators
protect and manage their revenues through fraud prevention and fare
reconciliation among participating agencies.

Cubic is creating several multi-agency, multi-mode regional fare collection
systems where regional bus and subway riders will be able to pay their fares
with a common fare card, including systems in London, San Diego and the Northern
Virginia-Baltimore-Washington, D.C. area. Ten days ago, the company announced a
$95 million contract with the Queensland government to build, operate and
maintain the first smart card-based integrated ticketing system and regional

Cubic Awarded $12 Million Contract to Expand Washington`s Smart Card System To Support Regional Merchant Network and Customer Services


SAN DIEGO, Aug 25, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Transportation Systems Inc., a
subsidiary of San Diego-based Cubic Corp. (AMEX: CUB), has received a $12
million contract to upgrade the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority
(WMATA)`s smart card-based fare collection regional central computing system.
The Cubic upgrades will support new customer service initiatives for the
SmarTrip(R) card system, giving regional commuters options for purchasing and
reloading their smart cards.

In addition to the new contract, WMATA is giving Cubic an option to provide $2.4
million in rail system upgrades. With this latest order, Cubic, under a 10-year,
multi-phased contract, which culminates next year, will deliver nearly $190
million in systems software and infrastructure for a regional smart card-based
fare collection system linking rail, bus and parking services in the District of
Columbia, the State of Maryland and parts of Virginia.

Under the new contract, Cubic will deliver software and hardware upgrades that
will interface with the regional fare collection system`s customer service
center, which is expected to be operational in the late summer 2004. Cubic`s
upgrades will support new applications for the SmarTrip card, including the
company`s Autoload, Smart Benefits, Regional Transit Benefits and its future
Fairest Fare functionality.

"We are pleased to provide the advanced central computer technology and services
that will enable WMATA to deliver on its promise of improving customer service
and extending the reach of the SmarTrip(R) system. Now everyone in the region
can take advantage of seamless, regional integration in fare payment," said
Richard Johnson, president and chief executive officer of Cubic Transportation
Systems Inc. "By providing a system based on innovation, quality and
reliability, Washington sets the benchmark in the U.S. for a smart card-based
fare collection system."

With Autoload, regional SmarTrip cardholders will be able to automatically and
electronically either collect stored value or purchase new fare products when
their smart cards are presented at bus fareboxes, gates, ticket vending
machines, station management systems or parking readers. Smart Benefits uses the
Autoload distribution feature to electronically deliver government or private
employer-subsidized transit benefits to cardholders` smart cards. If the
contract option is exercised, Fairest Fare will use the system to determine what
is the best fare product for a given time period based on the patron`s usage
during that period.

Cubic will employ its Nextfare(TM) Central System as the backbone for expanding
services throughout the region. Designed to industry standards using open
platforms and commercial off-the-shelf applications, Nextfare will provide the
regional credit/debit switch and the distribution of Autoload, Smart Benefits
and hot list files between all regional transit operators and the customer
service center. Nextfare also will collect and forward to the regional fare
collection system customer service center all smart card transactions from the
regional point-of-sale network and each of the participating agencies` fare
collection system, including WMATA rail, WMATA bus, WMATA parking, MTA heavy and
light rail, MTA bus, participating Maryland locally operated transit systems
(LOTS), MTA-related commuter buses, MARC commuter rail and participating bus
transit agencies in Northern Virginia.

Cubic also will deploy a point-of-sale network comprised of credit/debit
terminals integrated with Cubic`s Tri-Reader(R) and the IT and communications
infrastructure needed to link merchant transactions to the Nextfare Central
System. As many as 500 point-of-sale terminals are planned to be installed at
strategically located retail outlets throughout the region, making it even
easier and more convenient to purchase and reload value onto smart cards.

Cubic Transportation Systems is the world`s leading system provider for regional
multi-operator intermodal ticketing systems. Every year, nearly 10 billion rides
are taken worldwide using Cubic fare collection systems in more than 40 major
markets on five continents including London; New York; Washington, D.C.;

Cubic and LaserCard Systems` New ``Hybrid`` Contactless Optical Smart Card Could Improve U.S. Border Security


SAN DIEGO, Sep 3, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- San Diego-based Cubic Corporation
(AMEX: CUB) and LaserCard Systems Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Drexler Technology Corporation (Nasdaq: DRXR), announced they have developed a
new type of smart card that combines contactless and optical memory technologies
to support biometric identification.

The next step is to offer this new product to the United States Government for
evaluation as an enhanced product candidate for the U.S. VISIT market. The new
"hybrid" card was developed with this market in mind, as it could both improve
the identity verification process and shorten wait times at U.S. borders.

Cubic is a world leader in developing and delivering integrated
multi-application contactless card systems for transit as well as combat
training systems, mission support services and communications applications for
the military. LaserCard Systems Corporation is the principal supplier of
multi-biometric ID cards to the governments of the U.S. and Canada. Cubic`s high
speed contactless smart card technology for mass transit is already in use in
Washington D.C. and Chicago, and the company`s transportation segment also is
delivering similar integrated contactless ticketing technologies to Los Angeles,
San Diego and Minneapolis, as well as other cities around the world. Drexler
Technology Corporation has manufactured and sold more than 20 million U.S.
Permanent Resident "Green Cards" that authorize immigrants to work and reside in
the U.S. and "Laser Visa" Border Crossing Cards for frequent travelers to the
U.S. from Mexico. In addition, the Government of Canada began issuing
LaserCard(R) optical memory cards in 2002 as the new Canadian Permanent Resident
Cards; and on July 28, 2003, Drexler Technology announced an order for
production quantities of Italy`s new national ID card.

The contactless portion of the new hybrid card contains a computer chip and
radio antenna and operates much the same way as do Cubic`s transit smart cards.
The hybrid card is read automatically -- no touching or inserting needed -- on a
reader that contains Cubic`s open system contactless reader technology. Cubic`s
contactless technology allows the card to be read in approximately 100
milliseconds, allowing people and/or cars to approach a gate, having their
status verified against border security databases. The LaserCard`s optical
memory stripe provides exceptional counterfeit resistance, automatic card
authentication and high capacity secure storage for multiple biometric images.
The LaserCard system allows the rapid off-line verification of biometrics and
relevant border entry/exit data. For facilitation applications, such as land
border entry or registered traveler programs, data from the optical memory can
be downloaded to the contactless chip to activate specific services and
privileges for local use.

The Cubic Defense Applications group, one of Cubic`s two major segments,
provides realistic combat training systems for military forces as well as
simulation, force modernization, educational services and operations &
maintenance and manufacturing services. The group also supplies products and
systems for C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence,
Surveillance & Reconnaissance) applications, search and rescue avionics and
radio communications for military and civil markets. The corporation`s other
major segment, Cubic Transportation Systems, designs and manufactures automatic
fare collection systems for public mass transit authorities. For more

Sven Monberg Highlights the Following Stocks: Cubic Corp.


CHICAGO, Sep 15, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Faster than a speeding bullet, more
powerful than a locomotive, it`s the next stock recommendation from Superstock
Investor. Learn about: Cubic Corp. (AMEX: CUB). Click here for the full story
exclusively on Zacks.com: http://featuredexpert2bw.zacks.com/

Here are the highlights from the Featured Expert column:

Cubic (AMEX: CUB) announced on August 21st that its intent to acquire ECC
International Corp (AMEX: ECC) for $5.25 per share in a transaction valued at
around $42MM. This price was only a 3% premium to ECC`s closing price on the day
before the announcement, but about a 20% premium to where the stock traded two
weeks before its recent run-up. ECC would likely have qualified as an example of
what Michael Brush, who writes for MSN Money wrote about recently. His article
discussed the not very uncommon phenomenon of takeover targets running up in
price prior to any specific announcement of a deal entitled "Wall Street Plays
Dirty Despite Cleanup effort".

With takeovers more frequent over the past six months, time and again the shares
of buyout targets have jumped on big volume before acquisition news. According
to the article, the unavoidable explanation is that individuals familiar with
corporate dealings are trading on their privileged knowledge.

Like any acquisition, CUB`s ability to assimilate ECC`s businesses efficiently
is probably the most significant issue. Cubic last made an acquisition in
September 2001, and it was relatively small. It is likely that investors will
question the company`s ability to effectively integrate ECC smoothly. ECC`s
business, however, is not that complex when compared to the simulator systems
CUB has designed, built and supports. Also, Cubic management strikes me as quite
methodical and not prone to making a move of this nature without the proper due
diligence. It is probable that Cubic will be able to quickly close this deal and
integrate the company.

The Wall Street consensus appears to believe that Cubic is paying a fair and
attractive price for ECC which brings up the potential of another bidder
emerging with a better offer for ECC, though it is hard to visualize a
competitor that could offer ECC a better strategic fit than with Cubic. This is
an all-cash deal valued at $42 million, implying that Cubic is paying very
reasonable multiples of $42 million for $6 million in EBITDA, a multiple of
about 7, and $42 million for $33 million in trailing twelve month revenue or a
multiple of 1.3. The multiples look even better when ECC`s nearly $7 million of
cash is taken out of the calculation (without cash -- 5.8 multiple to EBITDA and
1.1 multiple to sales).

ECC`s operating margins were approximately 11% for trailing twelve months, but
only about 7% in its fiscal fourth quarter for 2003 ending in March. Cubic
expects to enjoy some immediate synergies through the elimination of ECC`s pubic
company obligations and other redundant corporate expenses. I would not
anticipate any earning revisions related to the ECC acquisition for sometime,
until CUB demonstrates or gives specific guidance to the effect that it has been
able to improve ECC`s margins. In the meantime, ECC has net operating losses
that CUB can use to lower it effective tax rate, boosting retained earnings to
some degree.

Cubic has made reference to building on current defense relationships to do
similar software design work for the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA).
DTRA is at the heart of the federal government`s Homeland Security initiatives.
Cubic`s defense arm is one of five companies that will share in an initial new
DTRA contract valued at up to $1.26 billion. Cubic says the companies will work
on projects designed to reduce the chances of the country being attacked by
weapons of mass destruction. The contract has an initial five-year term and a
five-year extension option. Cubic appears well positioned to win a significant
share of this business as the department`s doctrine is better developed.

Cubic is continually evolving its smart card system to employ more useful
features. Cubic will deploy a point-of-sale network comprised of credit/debit
terminals integrated with Cubic`s Tri-Reader and the IT and communications
infrastructure needed to link merchant transactions to the Nextfare Central
System. As many as 500 point-of-sale terminals are planned to be installed at
strategically located retail outlets throughout the region, making it easier and
more convenient to purchase and reload value onto smart cards.

Cubic Announces Validator Order For London Buses` ``Articulated`` Fleet; Cashless Fare Payment Via ``Oyster`` Smart Card Speeds Passenger Boarding


BIRMINGHAM, U.K., Sep 23, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Transportation Systems
Limited, the UK European Headquarters and a subsidiary of San Diego-based Cubic
Corp. (AMEX: CUB), today announced it has received an order from the London Buses
division of Transport for London to supply 600 Universal Smart Card Validators
for its expanding fleet of articulated or "bendy" buses.

The Validators will process the new Oyster card that was launched for public use
in May. Cubic and EDS (Electronic Data Systems) lead the TranSys consortium that
developed London`s new smart card-based ticketing system.

Cubic announced the new order on the opening day of the Coach & Bus Show 2003 at
the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, U.K., where Cubic is showcasing
its complete system of automatic fare collection technologies for buses.

The Universal Validator incorporates Cubic`s advanced smart card technology and
passenger safety features to quickly verify and deduct fares from passenger
smart cards, resulting in faster boarding times. The Validator operates on
Cubic`s open architecture and utilizes its patented Tri-Reader(R), an integral
module in Cubic-developed fare collection equipment for all transportation
modes. The Tri-Reader can read any type of contactless smart card meeting
international standards, providing operators a truly open system with
flexibility, interoperability and a range of media choices.

The articulated bus design -- which consists of two vehicle sections connected
by an accordion-like joint to facilitate turning -- offers greater seating
capacity and more entries for boarding. Cubic will install two Validators in the
middle and rear entrances of the buses to supplement the validation unit already
installed at the front of the bus, thus speeding passenger boarding.

The UK Ministry of Transport has approved the articulated bus type and the
proposed positioning of the new Validators. The Ministry must separately approve
any equipment that interfaces into walkways on other bus chassis types.

The Cubic display area at Coach and Bus 2003 (in Hall 17, Stand 17.99) includes
the following products that have been developed to meet UK and European
requirements:



-- Mobile Ticketing Machine: Considered the heart of an

integrated Vehicle Management System, the Mobile Ticketing

Machine combines the Cubic Driver Control Unit and Passenger

Interface Module to deliver fare and vehicle management in a

single device. The Driver Control Unit acts as the single

driver log-on and interface for operation of all on-vehicle

equipment including fareboxes, smart card validators, magnetic

processors, printers, passenger signage, automatic passenger

counters, and automatic vehicle location and dispatch system.

When combined with the Passenger Interface Module, transit

operators can support a variety of fare media including paper

proof-of-payment, magnetic, or contactless smart card,

offering them the maximum flexibility for future growth.



-- Light Validator: The contactless smart card-processing Light

Validator is a worry-free, low-cost addition to any automatic

fare collection system. It features a small, ultra-compact

design that simplifies installation and maintenance while

ensuring high reliability and ease of use.



-- Universal Validator: This Validator, the same as is being

fitted to London`s Articulated Buses, will be linked to a

simulation of a journey showing live ticket on departure

capability and tracking of ticket use via the web services

package of Nextfare(TM)



-- Nextfare(TM) Central System: Cubic has designed a central

system that facilitates low risk, cost-managed growth in

system capability. Nextfare is a suite of advanced software

modules that provide four mission-critical capabilities: 1)

central computing, 2) management of advanced fare structures,

3) clearing and settlement, and 4) innovative valued-added

capabilities such as Web Services, Autoload and Ticket On

Departure. Cubic`s Nextfare Web Services technology allows

riders to load their smart cards with value anytime from the

convenience of their desktop computers, laptops, phones or

handheld devices. The Ticket On Departure feature then

distributes the purchases by electronically delivering the

value to the smart card the next time the customer presents

his or her card to a reader at the ticket vending machine,

gate or bus Validator. Autoload technology lets transit users

link their smart cards to their credit cards for automatic

reload of transit value into the system once a pre-determined

threshold is reached.



-- Handheld Solutions: Cubic`s Handheld Ticketing Machine and

Handheld Checker are two smart card verification/inspection

devices that deliver the flexibility of a portable computer.

The Handheld Ticketing Machine performs two functions: issuing

paper tickets and validating and updating passenger smart

cards. Wireless communications enable an optional belt printer

to communicate with the Handheld Ticketing Machine. The

Handheld Checker reads smart cards to check for validity. Both

handheld devices are integrated with Cubic`s Tri-Reader

technology to facilitate flexibility in smart card choices for

transit operators.

Cubic Transportation Systems is the world`s leading system provider for regional
multi-operator intermodal ticketing systems. Every year, nearly 10 billion rides
are taken worldwide using Cubic fare collection systems in more than 40 major
markets on five continents, including London; New York; Washington, D.C.;
Baltimore; Sydney; Sweden, Norway, and Denmark; Rotterdam; Chicago; Atlanta; San
Francisco; Los Angeles; Miami; Hong Kong; Guangzhou; Shanghai; and Singapore.

Cubic Debuts New System That Meets U.S. Army`s Basic Needs for Deployable Training


SAN DIEGO & WASHINGTON D.C., Oct 6, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Defense
Applications, the defense segment of Cubic Corp. (AMEX: CUB), today unveils its
mobile command-and-control system designed to support instrumented combat
training at U.S. military homestations.

Cubic`s Initial - Homestation Instrumentation Training System, or I-HITS, is
making its public debut at the annual meeting of the Association of the United
States Army (AUSA), which runs through Oct. 8 at the new Washington Convention
Center.

I-HITS is a derivative of Cubic`s Deployable System for Training and Readiness
(DSTAR), a system that integrates the company`s combat training and
communications technologies in a mobile package.

The U.S. Army`s first deployment of Cubic`s I-HITS will be in the Alaska
Training Range arena, where it will be integrated with Cubic`s Air Combat
Maneuver Instrumentation system. This integration will enable aircrews and
ground forces to train in joint settings.

Cubic will deliver three mobile instrumentation equipped units next year to the
Alaska Training Range. The mobile units are environmentally controlled shelters
outfitted with Cubic`s PC-based Range Instrumentation System (PC-RIS), which
provides advanced exercise control capabilities and streamlines the development
of After Action Reviews.

"The I-HITS Alaska fielding will expand force-on-force training for the Army and
enhance combat search-and-rescue exercises for the Air Force. This technology
will significantly improve joint and combined arms training capabilities during
`Cope Thunder` exercises," said Gerald Dinkel, president and CEO of Cubic
Defense Applications.

"Elsewhere, I-HITS can augment pre-Combat Training Center exercises at any
homestation, mobilization station and forward-deployed area of operations. The
system offers the complete functionality of an instrumented Combat Training
Center in a mobile package. It can be deployed for any force-on-force exercise,
including ground, air, joint and combined arms missions," Dinkel said.

The system can be packaged in modular transit cases, carried in Humvees and
trucks, then deployed in tents or shelters at the training or operational sites.
I-HITS also features portable communications systems and GPS-based player units
that are fully integrated with the MILES 2000 laser-based training system. These
technologies track the positions and casualty status of troops and vehicles in
real time and relay exercise data to command centers for post-mission analysis.

I-HITS is fully compatible with Cubic`s next-generation MILES 2000 XG system,
which also will be featured at the AUSA show. MILES 2000 XG provides additional
capabilities such as MILES XXI functionality, urban operations tracking and
solutions for mines, grenades and M203 grenade launchers.

Over the past four years, Cubic has deployed more than 40,000 MILES products
worldwide to U.S. Army, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and international
forces.

"The first combat units that led coalition forces into Iraq -- including the
Army`s 3rd Infantry Division and the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force -- had all
trained with Cubic`s MILES products," said Dinkel. "These units were obviously
well prepared and accomplished their mission. We are very proud that our
engagement simulation technology is preparing our forces for combat -- today --
and saving lives on the battlefield."

The Cubic Defense Applications group, one of Cubic`s two major segments,
provides realistic combat training systems for military forces, as well as
simulation training, force transformation assistance, educational services,
operations & maintenance, and manufacturing services. The group also supplies
products and systems for C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers,
Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance) applications, search and rescue
avionics and radio communications for military and civil markets. The
corporation`s other major segment, Cubic Transportation Systems, designs and
manufactures automatic fare collection systems for public mass transit
authorities. For more information about Cubic, see the company`s Web site at

Cubic Technology Combines Public Transport with Third-Party Applications in Hanau, Germany; Cardholders Use ``Get-In`` Smart Card to Pay for Bus Rides and Municipal Services


SAN DIEGO & HANAU, Germany, Oct 9, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Thanks to
multi-application smart card technology developed by Cubic Transportation
Systems Inc., a subsidiary of San Diego-based Cubic Corp. (AMEX: CUB), residents
in Hanau, Germany can now pay for municipal services, admission to cultural
venues and other applications with the same dual-interface smart card they use
to pay for local public transport.

Cubic just completed integration of a municipal facility, Hanau`s largest public
swimming pool, into the advanced electronic ticketing system for public buses,
which the company delivered last year.

"Hanau`s use of Cubic`s open system smart card technology for non-transit
applications represents an emerging trend, which we first developed for our
transit customer in Washington, D.C.," said Richard Johnson, president and CEO
of Cubic Transportation Systems. "There, commuters use their SmarTrip(R) cards
to pay for parking. Transit and government employees also use their SmarTrip
cards for secure access to their place of work."

He added, "Cubic is actively pursuing opportunities that leverage our leadership
in transit into extended markets and applications, and that help our customers
maximize their return on investment in transit infrastructure to offer
additional value to their patrons."

Visitors to the Hanau public pool who possess transport smart cards, known in
the city as "Get In" cards, are able to bypass cash-paying customers and speed
through entries by presenting the cards to a reader on a Cubic gate.

The company is using its new Universal Gate, a customer-friendly, modularly
constructed access and fare management system as the access/payment medium. The
gating system, which is based on Cubic`s proven technology, is interoperable
with the bus integrated ticketing system, as well as other local attractions
including theaters and museums.

The gate`s processing intelligence stores valuable information about the usage
of the pool, including the number of patrons and peak and off-peak admission
periods, which management can then retrieve and use to introduce discount or
other loyalty programs.

Cubic Transportation Systems Ltd., the company`s European transportation
headquarters, teamed with T-Systems, a subsidiary of Deutsch Telekom, on the
system for Hanau, which is located 20 km east of Frankfurt.

The system is the prototype for a comprehensive electronic ticketing system for
the entire Rhein Main Verkehrsverbund (RMV). It is being operated and tested by
the Hanau Strassenbahn (HSB) for the RMV. The RMV is the transport agency for
the Metro region around Frankfurt and is one of the largest in Europe.

The dual interface feature of the RMV/HSB`s "Get In," smart card provides a
flexible and secure solution for combining public transport functions that use
the "contactless" interface with third-party applications that may use the
"contact" interface, such as the German Geltcard.

Cubic Transportation Systems is the world`s leading system provider for regional
multi-operator intermodal ticketing systems. Every year, nearly 10 billion rides
are taken worldwide using Cubic fare collection systems in more than 40 major
markets on five continents, including London; New York; Washington, D.C.;
Baltimore; Sydney, Australia; Sweden, Norway and Denmark; Rotterdam,
Netherlands; Chicago; Atlanta; San Francisco; Los Angeles; Miami; Hong Kong;
Guangzhou, China; Shanghai, China and Singapore.

The corporation`s other major segment, Cubic Defense Applications, provides
instrumented air and ground combat training systems, battle command training,
simulations and simulation support for U.S. and allied military forces. The
group also produces high technology avionics, data links and communications
products for government and commercial customers, and a wide range of technical
and logistics services. For more information about Cubic, see the company`s Web

Cubic Awarded $72.5 Million Contract to Deliver Atlanta`s New Smart Card Fare Collection System Replacing Magnetics and Tokens Will Save Agency Millions in Maintenance Costs


SAN DIEGO, Oct 30, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Transportation Systems Inc., a
subsidiary of San Diego-based Cubic Corporation (AMEX: CUB), has been awarded a
$72.5 million contract from the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority
(MARTA) to deliver a smart card-only multi-modal fare collection and revenue
management system. The new system will be the first in the U.S. to deploy a
low-cost, limited-use smart card.

Under the contract, which could be worth as much as $104 million if options are
exercised, Cubic will replace MARTA`s existing magnetic ticketing and
token-based system with the company`s state-of-the-art open architecture smart
card ticketing technology that will allow commuters to use one card to pay for
rail, bus, L-van (paratransit) fares and park-and-ride fees. Other applications
are planned in the future.

The new multi-application fare collection system will make it fast, easy and
convenient for daily commuters as well as occasional public transit users and
tourists to travel using public transportation in Atlanta. At the same, it will
increase revenues and operational efficiency for the agency.

"We are pleased to support MARTA in its mission to increase ridership and reduce
traffic through enhanced public services while improving fare collection
operations and providing for future regional needs. With an integrated smart
card-based fare collection system from Cubic, MARTA will have a scalable system
that combines innovation with reliability, quality and customer focus," said
Richard Johnson, president and CEO of Cubic Transportation Systems Inc.

Cubic is delivering software, computer networks, communications, high-speed
smart card encoding machines, sales terminals for customer agents, parking
equipment, bus fareboxes, faregates and multi-language ticket vending machines
that issue smart cards. Cubic is also providing innovative customer service
features including credit-debit payment, Internet-based ticketing, Autoload (the
ability to automatically load value onto the card), and electronic transit
benefits delivery.

These and other advanced capabilities are integrated and managed by Cubic`s
Nextfare(TM) Central System, a configurable suite of software modules designed
using industry standards, open platforms and commercial off-the-shelf
applications to provide the core fare collection, management and reporting
functions. Through Nextfare`s modular design and scalability, the MARTA system
can expand to support a variety of financial, operational and customer service
options.

Beginning in 2006 when the system launches, patrons will be able to use a
customer service Web site to order and register cards, make account queries and
add value to their cards with the online "Autoload" software feature. Added
value can then be collected automatically the next time customers use their
cards in the system at rail stations, on buses and L-vans, and when parking.

To support the needs of regular commuters, occasional transit users and
tourists, MARTA will offer two types of contactless smart cards: hard plastic
style similar to a credit-debit card that is designed to be used for many years,
and a paper version meant for limited use. Both card types provide "touchless"
entry, a feature with potential for significant maintenance savings for the
agency since there are no moving parts to worry about in ticket processing. This
function is handled via Cubic`s patented Tri-Reader(R), which can read any type
of contactless smart card that meets ISO standards and is a standard component
in all Cubic`s fare collection equipment.

With Cubic`s Tri-Reader and Nextfare Central System in place, MARTA will have
the ability in the future to link to other transit services in the region, as
well as toll roads and airport parking. Regional participants would have the
advantage of a truly open system with flexibility, interoperability and a range
of fare media choices.

Cubic has supplied the only fully operational smart card-based systems for
public transit in the U.S., first in Washington, D.C., followed by Chicago. Next
year, Cubic will deliver the nation`s first multi-state system, which will
expand Washington`s SmarTrip(R) system to buses serving Washington, D.C.,
Maryland and northern Virginia. By 2005, the same technology will be installed
on all the subway, commuter rail and para-transit services in Baltimore and
throughout Maryland. Cubic will also deliver similar systems to Minneapolis-St.
Paul, Los Angeles, San Diego, Edmonton and the Port Authority of New York & New
Jersey for the PATH and JFK AirTrain systems. In July 2003, Cubic won a $95
million contract to design, build, operate and maintain the first smart
card-based fare collection system in South East Queensland, Australia. Cubic
delivered a similar smart card-based system in London as part of the TranSys
consortium.

Cubic Transportation Systems is the world`s leading system provider for regional
multi-operator intermodal ticketing systems. Every year, nearly 10 billion rides
are taken worldwide using Cubic fare collection systems in more than 40 major
markets on five continents, including London; New York; Washington, D.C.;
Baltimore; Sydney; counties in Sweden, Norway and Denmark; Rotterdam; Chicago;
Atlanta; San Francisco; Los Angeles; Miami; Hong Kong; Guangzhou; Shanghai; and
Singapore.

The corporation`s other major segment, Cubic Defense Applications, provides
instrumented air and ground combat training systems, battle command training,
simulations and simulation support for U.S. and allied military forces. The
group also produces high technology avionics, data links and communications
products for government and commercial customers, and a wide range of technical

Cubic to Continue Warfighter Education Support for U.S. Army Combined Arms Center at Fort Leavenworth; Awarded $9.8 Million with Possibility of Four Option Years


SAN DIEGO, Nov 25, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- As a result of a recent contract
award, Cubic Defense Applications, the defense segment of San Diego-based Cubic
Corp. (AMEX: CUB), will continue to provide warfighter education and other
support services to the U.S. Army`s Combined Arms Center at Fort Leavenworth,
Kan.

The U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) has awarded Cubic a new
$9.98 million non-personal services contract to provide educational and other
support services to the Combined Arms Center (CAC). This is the first year of a
five-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract with a
possible value close to $75 million. In addition to Cubic, another contractor
will receive awards under that ID/IQ program. The two contractors will also be
eligible for four option years for amounts at the customer`s discretion. A
previous five-year ID/IQ contract brought the company $49.6 million from FY 99
to FY 03.

"Winning this recompete is strategically important for Cubic," said Stan
Cherrie, a retired U.S. Army brigadier general who is vice president and general
manager of Cubic`s Leavenworth-based Training & Education Division.

"The Combined Arms Center plays a central role in educating the Army`s
commissioned, warrant and noncommissioned officers, including those who are
leading the global battle against terrorism," Cherrie said. "Cubic supports the
CAC by enhancing the knowledge, critical thinking abilities and decision-making
skills of units and leaders involved in military operations around the world.
Whatever an officer`s mission is -- waging war or defusing tensions - Cubic will
help provide the academic and training empowerment necessary to cope with those
circumstances."

As with its previous contract with the Army, Cubic`s educational services
support includes development of traditional classroom curriculum, and in some
cases Cubic employees who are retired military personnel will teach courses.
Cubic will also provide live, Web-based, CD-ROM and computer-based simulation
training.

"The new contract is a natural progression from the existing CAC contract which
included doctrine, training, leader development and recommended policies and
procedures for both combat and stability and support operations," said Kent
Ervin, CAC program manager for Cubic.

The ID/IQ contract authorizes the Army to issue task orders for support of the
Intermediate Level Education (ILE) course which all Army field grade officers
are required to take during their career. The current ILE course, developed with
Cubic`s help, is designed to prepare field-grade officers to operate in today`s
operational environment. Study topics include: military history; leadership;
combined arms tactics and techniques; peace, counter-terrorism, peacekeeping,
nation assistance, counterdrug and joint multinational operations; digitized
skills and information operations. Cubic may receive task orders for ILE support
under this contract as well, if such orders are issued.

Under the previous contract, Cubic was responsible for developing the
Commander`s Force Protection Handbook for anti-terrorism operations. The Force
Protection Handbook, delivered in both hard copy and interactive CD-ROM
versions, deals with vulnerabilities, prevention, reaction, consequence
management, and military support to civil authorities.

In addition, Cubic developed and executed major exercises for the Army, National
Guard and civilian agencies with scenarios involving terrorist events and the
threat of weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Cubic developed a complete training
support package and train-the-trainer courseware for WMD and terrorism events.

The Cubic Defense Applications group, one of Cubic`s two major segments,
provides realistic combat training systems for military forces as well as
simulation, force modernization, educational services, operations and
maintenance and manufacturing services. The group also supplies products and
systems for C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence,
Surveillance and Reconnaissance) applications, search and rescue avionics and
radio communications for military and civil markets. The corporation`s other
major segment, Cubic Transportation Systems, designs and manufactures automatic
fare collection systems for public mass transit authorities. For more

Cubic Demonstrates Advanced Combat Training Technologies at Major U.S. Defense Exhibition


SAN DIEGO, Dec 1, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Defense Applications (CDA), the
defense segment of San Diego-based Cubic Corporation (AMEX: CUB), debuts new
combat training technologies at the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation
and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) in Orlando, Fla. The show runs Dec. 1-4.

Cubic`s Simulation Systems Division (SSD), formerly ECC International Corp.,
will demonstrate its Engagement Skills Trainer, EST 2000, designed to enhance
individual marksmanship, collective and judgmental skills. In these simulation
scenarios, trainees can take aim at simulated enemy soldiers, civilian
attackers, tanks and aircraft in urban, desert, jungle, woodland and mountain
terrain -- in snow, rain and smoke, daylight, night and low-light conditions.
All actions are recorded for playback with green dots representing misses and
red dots showing hits.

"EST 2000 reduces windshield time, eliminates environmental issues associated
with live-fire ranges, and provides significant ammunition cost savings. Most
importantly, though, EST builds trainees` confidence, so when they go to the
live-fire range, they maximize their success," said Terry Kohl, vice president
and general manager of the Simulation Systems Division.

The EST 2000 offers a choice of 209 individual marksmanship, 178 squad tactical
and 40 shoot/don`t shoot judgment exercises. Features that differentiate the EST
2000 from other systems are superior accuracy and graphics.

EST demonstrations will take place at SSD`s booth #631, situated near the CDA
corporate exhibit.

"We are very pleased to add SSD`s virtual simulation and training portfolio to
Cubic`s live and constructive business. With SSD`s technologies, we now have
expertise in all three dimensions of combat training -- live, virtual and
constructive," said Gerald Dinkel, president and CEO of Cubic Defense
Applications.

SSD`s biggest customer is the Army`s Program Executive Office for Simulation,
Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), a customer Cubic has served for years.
PEO STRI is the procurement executive for EST 2000 -- the U.S. Army`s only
validated small arms training system.

So far, EST 2000 systems have been delivered to both active-duty Army and
National Guard units in the United States, Korea, Germany, Kuwait and
Afghanistan.

In addition to the SSD`s virtual demos, Cubic will showcase its advanced live
and constructive training capabilities at its CDA corporate booth (#1312). Major
highlights include:

Cubic Reports FY 2003 Increases in Sales, Earnings and Backlog


SAN DIEGO, Dec 2, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Corporation (AMEX: CUB) today
reported increased sales, earnings and backlog for fiscal 2003. Earnings for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2003 were up 24 percent and sales for the year
were up 13 percent from last year. Total backlog, including unfunded contract
orders, at the end of the year was 29 percent higher than at September 30, 2002.

Net income for fiscal year ended September 30, 2003 was $36.5 million or $1.37
per share, compared to $29.4 million or $1.10 per share for fiscal 2002. Sales
for 2003 were $634.1 million compared to 2002 sales of $559.6 million. Operating
income (before taxes, interest and other income) for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2003 was $48 million compared to $39.8 million for fiscal 2002,
with improvement in both the Company`s Defense and Transportation segments.

Approximately $5.3 million or 20 cents per share, after taxes, of the 2003 net
income was from gains on the sale of unused real estate in the second and third
quarters. Net income in 2002 included a fourth quarter tax benefit of $2.5
million, which added 9 cents per share that year. Excluding these items, pro
forma earnings would have been $1.01 in 2002 and $1.17 in 2003, a 16 percent
increase.

Fourth quarter 2003 sales were $160.6 million, compared to $149.2 million last
year, and earnings for the quarter were $8.5 million or 32 cents per share
compared to $10.2 million or 38 cents per share in the fourth quarter of last
year ($7.7 million or 29 cents without the fourth quarter 2002 tax benefit).

Total backlog at September 30, 2003 was $1.505 billion compared to $1.165
billion at September 30, 2002.

"Our backlog reflects increases from both our defense and transportation
segments," said Cubic Corporation President and Chief Executive Officer Walter
J. Zable. "What`s significant about our current backlog is that it reflects a
diverse mix of business, a move away from years past when the backlog reflected
a more limited number of customers."

Management anticipates sales and operating income will grow modestly in fiscal
2004 followed by more accelerated growth in the following two years.

Defense Segment -- 2003 Performance

Fiscal 2003 sales from the Defense segment were up 16 percent from last year,
growing to $365 million from $314 million, with the growth coming primarily from
training systems.

Operating income in the Defense segment was up 37 percent to $24.6 million from
$17.9 million earned in 2002. The increase came primarily from the training
systems business, due to sales growth as well as improved profit margins.

The Defense segment accounted for $743 million of the Company`s total backlog at
the end of 2003, compared to $493 million at the end of last year. The biggest
increase in Defense segment backlog was in training systems, due to ground
combat training systems contracts awarded in Canada and Australia.

Excluded from the Defense segment backlog amounts are two indefinite delivery,
indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) contracts received in 2003. One is a 10-year
contract with a ceiling value of $525 million, awarded exclusively to Cubic to
develop and deliver the next-generation of rangeless air-to-air and
air-to-ground combat training systems. For the other ID/IQ contract, the U.S.
Government has pre-selected Cubic and four other companies to bid on $1.26
billion in task orders on research-and-development services work over five
years, with an additional five-year option, aimed at reducing threats to
national defense and homeland security from Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Transportation Systems -- 2003 Performance

Sales this year for the Transportation Systems segment increased nearly 10
percent in 2003 to $253 million from $231 million in fiscal 2002. Those sales
increases were primarily due to higher sales in North America as well as work on
the Prestige contract in London.

Operating income in the Transportation Systems segment increased 5 percent to
$24.4 million in 2003 from $23.3 million in 2002. Improvement this year over
last came primarily as a result of growth in revenues from contracts in North
America. At the same time, operating income was impacted by legal costs related
to a dispute with a subcontractor on the Prestige contract and a legal
settlement in Australia in the fourth quarter.

Of Cubic`s total 2003 end-of-year backlog, $762 million is in the Transportation
segment compared to $672 million at the close of last year. Transportation
backlog increased in 2003 primarily because of a contract for nearly $95 million
awarded by the city of Brisbane, Australia for a fare collection system and 10
years of operations and maintenance. Not included in the 2003 end-of-year
backlog is a $72 million contract awarded to Cubic by the city of Atlanta`s
transit agency just after the close of the fiscal year.

The Cubic Defense Applications group provides realistic combat training systems
for military forces as well simulation, force modernization, educational
services, operations & maintenance and manufacturing services. The group also
supplies products and systems for C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications,
Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance) applications, search and
rescue avionics and radio communications for military and civil markets. Cubic
Transportation Systems designs and manufactures automatic fare collection
systems for public mass transit, including rail and buses throughout the world.

MARTA Proceeds with Cubic Transportation Systems` Fare Collection Contract after Judge Denies Competitor`s Request for Permanent Injunction


SAN DIEGO, Jan 8, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Corporation (AMEX: CUB) today
announced that a Fulton County, Georgia, judge has paved the way for the
Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) to proceed with a $72.5
million contract awarded to Cubic subsidiary, Cubic Transportation Systems, for
a new smart card-based fare collection system throughout the Atlanta region.

The judge denied a request by Thales e-Transactions for a permanent injunction
against MARTA that would have required the transit authority to rebid the
contract. Thales claimed MARTA did not follow proper procedures in the contract
award; however, the judge, in his ruling wrote, "The proposals were fairly
evaluated, and Cubic had both the superior technical score and the lower cost."
MARTA will proceed with the contract award to Cubic. Originally MARTA wanted to
install the new system in 2005. The four-month legal challenge is expected to
delay the desired completion date.

"The ruling is the best gift possible for Cubic this holiday season," said
Richard Johnson, president and CEO of Cubic Transportation Systems. "Finally, we
can begin to work in earnest to build the smart card ticketing system that MARTA
so desperately needs. This new ticketing system will save MARTA millions of
dollars and give MARTA`s customers a reliable, convenient, easy-to-use smart
card ticketing system that should increase ridership throughout the area as
well," Johnson added.

In October, MARTA awarded Cubic a $72.5 million contract which, with options,
could be worth as much as $104 million, to replace MARTA`s existing magnetic
ticketing and token-based system with the company`s state-of-the-art open
architecture smart card ticketing technology. The new system will allow
commuters to use one card to pay for rail, bus, L-van (paratransit) fares and
park-and-ride fees. The new system will be the first in the U.S. to deploy a
low-cost, limited-use smart card.

This regional interoperability is made possible by Cubic`s open architecture
back-office system, called the Nextfare(TM) Central System, and its patented
Tri-Reader(R) technology. Nextfare is a configurable suite of software modules
designed to provide the core central computing, transaction processing,
operational management, financial clearing and settlement, reporting
functionality and the scalability to support additional services as needed over
time. The Tri-Reader, an integral module in all Cubic fare collection equipment,
can read any type of contactless smart card that meets ISO standards, providing
Atlanta with flexibility, interoperability and a range of ticket media choices.

Cubic is delivering software, computer networks, communications, high-speed
smart card encoding machines, sales terminals for customer agents, parking
equipment, bus fareboxes, faregates, and multi-language ticket vending machines
that issue smart cards. Cubic is also providing innovative customer service
features including credit-debit payment, Internet-based ticketing, Autoload (the
ability to automatically load value onto the card), and electronic transit
benefits delivery. Other applications are planned for the future.

Cubic Transportation Systems is the world`s leading system provider for regional
multi-operator intermodal ticketing systems. Every year, nearly 10 billion rides
are taken worldwide using Cubic fare collection systems in more than 40 major
markets on five continents, including London; New York; Washington, D.C.;
Baltimore; Sydney; counties in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark; Rotterdam; Chicago;
Atlanta; San Francisco; Los Angeles; San Diego; Miami; Hong Kong; Guangzhou;
Shanghai; and Singapore.

The corporation`s other major segment, Cubic Defense Applications, provides
instrumented air and ground combat training systems, battle command training,
simulations and simulation support for U.S. and allied military forces. The
group also produces high technology avionics, data links and communications
products for government and commercial customers, and a wide range of technical

Cubic Corp. Reports Record Sales and Backlog and Increased Earnings for the Quarter Ended December 31, 2003


SAN DIEGO, Feb 3, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- San Diego-based Cubic Corp.
(AMEX: CUB) today reported record sales and backlog and an increase in earnings
for the first quarter of fiscal 2004, which ended December 31, 2003. Sales for
the quarter were $171 million, compared to $148 million for the same period last
year, an increase of 15 percent. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2004
increased 12 percent to 28 cents a share from 25 cents a share for the same
quarter of the prior year. Total backlog increased to $1.554 billion at December
31, 2003, compared to $1.505 billion at September 30, 2003.

Defense

Defense segment sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 were up 27 percent to
$104 million compared to $82 million for the same period last year.
Approximately one-third of the increase came from ECC International Corp., which
Cubic acquired in September 2003.

The remainder of the sales increase came from all three of the existing defense
business units: Communications and Electronics, Training Systems and Government
Services.

Operating profits in the defense segment were up more than 90 percent to $8.6
million this year compared to $4.5 million in the first quarter of last year.
Higher operating income came primarily from the training systems business due to
sales growth and improved profit margins from both air and ground combat
training systems, including MILES. In addition, ECC contributed about $0.8
million to training systems operating profits for the quarter.

Transportation

Transportation segment sales increased slightly, from $62 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 2003 to $63 million in the first quarter of this year. Sales
from the PRESTIGE contract in London declined in accordance with the plan for
this project, but this was more than offset by higher sales from other contracts
in the UK, Australia and the U.S., including Los Angeles, New York, San Diego,
Houston and Minneapolis.

Operating income in Transportation Systems decreased from $5.9 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 2003 to $4.0 million this year. Profit margins on
several of the contracts in North America have been adversely affected by the
company`s investment in the development of new software technologies for common
fare collection solutions. "We believe it was necessary to make this investment
in new fare collection technologies to give us a competitive advantage in future
system procurements," said Cubic Corp. President and Chief Executive Officer
Walter J. Zable, "but in the short run this has impacted the margins on our
current contracts."

In addition, operating income was impacted by legal fees of $1.2 million, which
were incurred during the quarter in preparation for an arbitration hearing later
this year. The arbitration concerns the cancellation of a subcontractor for
failure to perform on the PRESTIGE contract. Cubic expects to recover a
significant amount of the additional costs it has incurred because of the
subcontractor`s failure to perform, including its legal costs.

Backlog

The increase in backlog to $1.554 billion at December 31, 2003, from $1.505
billion at September 30, 2003, was due in part to Transportation Systems`
receipt of a $72 million contract from MARTA, the city of Atlanta`s transit
agency. Included in these total backlog amounts was funded backlog of $1.076
billion at December 31, 2003, compared to $1.008 billion at September 30, 2003.

The Cubic Defense Applications group provides realistic combat training systems
for military forces as well as simulation, force modernization, educational
services, operations & maintenance and manufacturing services. The group also
supplies products and systems for C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications,
Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance) applications, search and
rescue avionics and radio communications for military and civil markets. Cubic
Transportation Systems designs and manufactures automatic fare collection
systems for public mass transit, including rail and buses throughout the world.

Cubic Receives $5 Million in Orders from U.S. Navy for Next-Generation Combat Training System


SAN DIEGO, Mar 3, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Defense Applications, the
defense segment of San Diego-based Cubic Corporation (AMEX: CUB), has received
its first delivery orders from the U.S. Navy to provide its advanced rangeless
air combat training system for use aboard aircraft carriers. Two delivery
orders, totaling nearly $5 million, were placed under the P5 CTS/TCTS contract
for the Navy`s Tactical Combat Training System program.

The P5 CTS/TCTS contract, potentially valued at $525 million over 10 years,
calls for the development of the next-generation, common air combat training
system for the Air Force, Navy, Air National Guard and the Marine Corps. Cubic
and its principal subcontractor, DRS Training and Control Systems, are providing
P5 CTS/TCTS to approximately 27 sites under an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite
Quantity (ID/IQ) contract awarded in 2003.

The Navy orders include the development of the Airborne Subsystem which meets
carrier qualification requirements, Internal Subsystems for the F/A 18A-F and
AV-8B aircraft as well as integration of Transportable Ground Subsystems for
live monitoring, exercise control and debriefing.

"The orders represent a significant milestone in the P5 CTS/TCTS program and
signify the beginning of the development of advanced features that support
current and emerging operational training requirements for the Navy," said
Dianna Granum, Business Development director for Cubic`s Training Systems.
"These new technologies will significantly increase U.S. training effectiveness
and allow Navy aircrews to train in a rangeless environment for the first time."

Rangeless training allows tactical aircrews to train in any available airspace
without the need for a fixed range using global positioning satellites and
easily transportable components.

The development of the Navy Airborne Subsystem will result in providing
instrumentation that meets the rigorous requirements of the carrier environment.

The development of the airborne Internal Subsystems will provide increased
capability to collect aircraft data and provide missile simulation capabilities
on F/A-18 and AV-8B aircraft.

Cubic`s advanced ICADS is also a key component of the P5 CTS/TCTS Transportable
Ground Subsystems. The ground stations enable exercise controllers to
communicate with pilots in real time, control simulated threats and record
flight data on PCs or laptops.

Under the ID/IQ contract, Cubic and DRS expect to produce more than 1,300
participant instrumentation packages and hundreds of ground-based display
systems.

P5 CTS/TCTS is a cooperative program between the Air Force and the Navy. The
program is being managed by the Naval Air Systems Command, Tactical Training
Ranges Program Office (PMA-248), with the P5 CTS/TCTS contracting activity
located at the Air Armament Center at Eglin AFB.

The Cubic Defense Applications group, one of Cubic`s two major segments,

Currently at a $22 stock price and an enterprise value of approximately $650
million and 2004 revenue projections of slightly over $700 million, Monberg
believes Cubic Corporation (NYSE:CUB) is worth accumulating again. At the end of
fiscal 2003 total backlog was $1.5 billion, an increase of nearly thirty percent
year-over-year. Approximately eighteen percent of the backlog increase came from
the defense segment and twelve percent from transportation.
CUB is trading at about 18 times consensus earnings per share forecasts for
fiscal year 2004 but only about 14 times fiscal year 2005 earnings estimates. At
$22 per share CUB is trading at an enterprise value to estimated revenue of 0.93
and 0.70 to 2004 and 2005 respectively, which are historically attractive
looking ratios. Both the P/E and EV/Revenue multiples will come back into line
if the company demonstrates better margins going into the second half of 2004.

Cubic Wins Major Contract to Support Air Combat Training Missions in Asia-Pacific Region; U.S. Air Force Contract Has Potential Value of $54 Million over 10-Year Period


SAN DIEGO, Apr 6, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Defense Applications, the
defense segment of Cubic Corporation (AMEX: CUB), has won a contract with a
potential value of $54 million to provide full-service support and equipment for
Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) air combat training missions. The Operations and
Sustainment (OS) contract, awarded by the U.S. Air Force, includes an initial
six-month base period of $2.2 million and nine one-year options.

Under the contract, Cubic will have complete responsibility for the performance
of the Misawa-Osan-Kunsan-Kadena Instrumentation Training System (MOKKITS). This
includes management, labor, hardware and software systems, engineering and
maintenance for the system.

MOKKITS supports training at Kadena AB and Masawa AB, Japan; Osan AB and Kunsan
AB, Korea; and other locations within the PACAF area of operations. The system
supports single-service, bilateral, joint and combined forces missions.

The system builds on the technologies Cubic developed for the Kadena
Instrumented Training System, or KITS, which went operational in 1997 with the
18th Air Wing at Kadena Air Base, Okinawa. KITS was the U.S. military`s first
GPS-based rangeless air combat training system.

The MOKKITS contract calls for a 300 percent increase in aircrew debriefing
support over the original KITS contract.

"We are extremely pleased to continue our association with PACAF and support the
vital training of U.S. and allied forces," said Don Jacobs, vice president of
Cubic`s Air Combat Training Programs. "I`m also very proud of the Cubic
employees whose efforts have laid the groundwork for our success."

MOKKITS is completely portable, allowing training flights to be flown anywhere
there is suitable airspace, over land or sea. At the heart of the system are the
instrumentation pods, typically mounted on a wingtip weapon station, which
contain electronics that record and calculate simulated firings of weapons and
"kill" messages. The information can be viewed in near real-time via a data link
to the ground-based display systems.

"The system simulates combat missions as close as possible to the `real thing`
in a variety of scenarios. This gives our forces the skills they need to survive
actual combat," said Keith Shean, senior program manager for MOKKITS.

The MOKKITS system also supports exercises at temporary sites in Singapore
(Commando Sling), Guam (Cope North); Thailand (Cope Tiger); as well as Large
Force Exercises and Dissimilar Air Combat Training.

Work on the contract will begin immediately.

Barron`s Overview of Cubic Should Draw Attention

The March 13 issue of Barron`s does a fine overview of Cubic Corporation
(AMEX: CUB), reiterating much of which Sven Monberg has mentioned Cubic`s
commanding lead in developing smartcard technology for mass-transit networks,
and combat training systems for the military have resulted in net income rising
more than ten-fold over the past ten years.

The fiscal year that ended September 30 reported a 24 percent increase in
earnings to $36.5 million. Operating profits for the latest reported quarter
were exceptionally strong in the defense business, nearly doubling
year-over-year to $8.6 million, largely due to an increase in military demand
for air and ground combat training systems. Current year consensus earnings
estimates are around $1.30 and $1.58-$1.60 for fiscal 2005. As Monberg has
pointed out before, the substantial backlog (currently about $1.6 billion)
clears the horizon for the foreseeable future, in businesses that appear to have
steadily increasing demand, some multiple expansion to the consensus 2005
estimates is likely.

Cubic Continues Educational Support to U.S. Army under New Battle Command Training Program Contract Joins Forces with Northrop Grumman to Win Recompete with Expanded Focus on National Guard Training


SAN DIEGO, Sep 28, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic (AMEX: CUB) will continue to
provide first-class educational and training services to the U.S. Army under a
contract Northrop Grumman Information Technology (NGIT) received from the Army
to support the Army`s Battle Command Training Program.

The new contract has a ceiling of close to $408 million over a 10-year period.
Cubic will receive 20 percent of the contract funding. The Army will determine
the actual amount the NGIT/Cubic team will receive. All work will be
administered from Fort Leavenworth, Kan., home of the Battle Command Training
Program (BCTP) since its inception.

Created in 1986 to improve the decision-making, planning and execution of Army
Corps and Division commanders and their staffs, the BCTP expanded recently to
include selected Brigade-level commanders and staffs, primarily the Enhanced
brigades of the National Guard.

"For the past eight years, Cubic and NGIT have provided high-quality educational
and training services to the Battle Command Training Program, a cornerstone
event in a unit`s training year," said Stan Cherrie, vice president and general
manager of Cubic`s Training and Education Division based in Leavenworth, Kan.
"This new contract ensures that the Cubic/NGIT team can continue to help improve
the BCTP, and also help address the urgent national requirement for more
rigorous and realistic training for National Guard commanders and staffs,"
Cherrie said.

Cubic will be in charge of providing education and training support to
Operations Group Charlie, the Ops Group that trains the National Guard brigades
exclusively. Cubic will also assist the BCTP support team that works out of the
National Simulation Center at Fort Leavenworth.

Cubic expects to hire additional employees under the new contract, including
exercise observer-controllers, database administrators, after-action review
builders and facilitators.

Thousands of unit commanders and their staffs participate annually in the BCTP
training program. The two-week training begins with a weeklong seminar developed
jointly by BCTP and unit staffs that reflects the unit`s specific mission. It

Cubic Corp. (Amex: CUB) Reports Record Sales, Operating Income and Earnings for the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2004


SAN DIEGO, Dec 9, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Cubic Corporation
(Amex: CUB) today reported record sales, operating income and earnings for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2004. Fiscal 2004 sales grew to $722 million
from $634 million, an increase of 14 percent. Net income increased from $36.5
million or $1.37 per share last year to $36.9 million or $1.38 per share this
year. Last year`s net income included a $5.3 million gain from the sale of
excess real estate; while this year`s net income included a $2.3 million gain
from the sale of a life insurance policy, and a $3.8 million loss provision,
after taxes, for a legal matter arising from gi-bin/prnh/20041206/SDCUBICLOGO)

Fiscal year 2004 operating income increased 13 percent to $54.2 million from
$48.0 million in 2003. This year`s operating income was negatively impacted by
$6 million in the fourth quarter as a result of the legal provision referred to
above. This reserve was established in the fourth quarter based on a recent
court decision, which increased the likelihood of a judgment ultimately being
paid. While this was a defense contract, the loss provision has been classified
as a corporate charge due to the remote connection with the company`s current
defense operations, since the events in question occurred more than 25 years
ago. The company is continuing its efforts to appeal this judgment.

Also affecting the fourth quarter was the settlement of the company`s dispute
with a former subcontractor on the PRESTIGE project in London. The settlement
increased operating income in the fourth quarter by $6.3 million, net of
litigation costs incurred; however, it had a negligible effect on operating
income for the year due to litigation costs incurred in the first three
quarters.

The following table provides insight into the earnings for fiscal 2004 and 2003
by identifying certain items management believes should be highlighted in the
company results for the two years.

Cubic Assists with U.S. Government Tsunami Relief Effort


SAN DIEGO, Jan 5, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Corporation (AMEX: CUB) today
described the involvement of its defense segment in supporting the United States
military`s tsunami relief efforts.

"Almost all Cubic employees in Hawaii are now working either directly or
indirectly in support of Pacific Command`s humanitarian assistance and disaster
relief efforts in Asia," said Jim Balentine, senior vice president of Cubic`s
Mission Support Business Unit, part of the Cubic Defense Applications group.

Cubic has approximately 65 employees at Headquarters, U.S. Pacific Command
(USPACOM) in Hawaii, the command responsible for coordinating the U.S. military
disaster relief efforts. Twenty employees cut short their holiday vacations to
return to work. Many have been working 12- to 14-hour shifts every day for the
past week, alongside their active-duty and reserve military counterparts and
other defense contractors supporting the crisis response.

These Cubic employees` efforts are supported and coordinated by Cubic`s
Information Operations Division (IOD), located in San Diego, which has ongoing
contracts with USPACOM. Cubic normally supports USPACOM by operating and
providing content for international information-sharing and collaboration web
sites for the command, as well as conducting open-source and other intelligence
research and analysis, and providing current and future operations planning
support.

IOD and other Cubic personnel also provide computer-based simulation training,
mission rehearsal training and command staff augmentation support to the U.S.
Navy and Marine Corps.

Al Sargeant, vice president of Information Operations, said Cubic`s Hawaiian
team is accustomed to a 24/7 schedule when the customer has special
requirements. For instance, the team provided round-the-clock assistance to
USPACOM immediately following the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.

"Over the years, Cubic employees in Hawaii have helped the U.S. government in
responding to many international disasters, including floods, fires, typhoons
and earthquakes," Sargeant said. "We do some of the advance legwork and planning
for the military, freeing key military personnel to concentrate on getting to
the disaster area and performing their mission in a timely fashion. We also
provide electronic forums for information-sharing and collaboration, which
allows more rapid and effective communication. However, no one has ever worked
on a disaster of this magnitude."



Specific current efforts of the Hawaii team include:



-- Cubic`s Multinational Planning and Augmentation Team (MPAT)

is working on the ground in Thailand for up to 45 days.

MPAT is a unique multinational collaborative team that has

spent the last five years training with a cadre of

international staff officers from 30 countries throughout Asia

and developing a set of common operational procedures to

respond to crises such as this relief effort. This is the

first operational deployment for the team, which will focus

its effort on coordinating the multinational response for the

forward-deployed headquarters.



-- Cubic`s Virtual Information Center (VIC) team is also

providing 7-day-a-week support. One of the biggest challenges

for the affected nations, the humanitarian community and the

regional military response is getting timely and accurate

information. The VIC is supporting ongoing efforts with

individuals working in shifts to provide timely and complete

information support to USPACOM and its committed forces.



-- Cubic`s Asia-Pacific Area Network (APAN) team is coordinating

information and activities with U.S. agencies and

international and non-governmental agencies. Part of this

effort includes developing an information exchange web site to

support the multi-agency and multinational response to the

crisis.



-- Cubic senior consultants and senior military analysts are

working day and night shifts in the Joint Interagency

Coordination Group, collaborating with USPACOM`s Center of

Excellence for Disaster Management and Humanitarian

Assistance. Cubic senior analysts are also working around the

clock in direct support of the strategic planning for movement

of personnel and disaster relief material into the affected

regions.



-- The Cubic Virtual Analysis Center (CVAC) in downtown Honolulu

is providing specialized reports to support the Joint

Intelligence Center Pacific effort.

Cubic`s Information Operations Division is part of the Mission Support Business
Unit of the Cubic Defense Applications group (CDA). CDA provides realistic
combat training systems for military forces, as well as mission support services

Cubic Acquires Parking Assets of Lexis Systems and Forms New Company; Cubic Parking Systems Will Expand Regional Smart Card-Based Payment Systems Beyond Public Transit


SAN DIEGO, Jan 18, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- San Diego-based Cubic Corporation
(AMEX: CUB) today announced that it has acquired the assets of Lexis Systems, a
Vancouver-based provider of revenue collection systems for parking and public
transportation. The acquisition includes intellectual property, technology, the
complete product line and software suite, inventory and the Vancouver-based
operations.

The assets from Lexis Systems, together with the recently acquired Traf-Park,
comprise a new business unit for Cubic Transportation Systems, called Cubic
Parking Systems. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cubic Corporation.

The latest acquisition and company formation enhance Cubic`s regional smart card
systems for public transit in parking, a vital service in major metropolitan
areas.

The North American parking equipment and system control market is more than $200
million per year and is poised for growth as municipalities move away from
single-space, coin-operated on-street meters to `multi-bay` meters that take
contactless smart cards as a form of payment.

With the combined installed customer base of Lexis and Traf-Park, Cubic Parking
Systems has a substantial share of the parking market, with more than 2200
pieces of equipment installed for almost 200 customers in the United States,
Canada and Mexico.

Cubic Parking Systems is headquartered in Vancouver and has regional offices in
Montreal, Toronto, Nashville and San Diego.

Cubic Parking Systems is the only company to offer a contactless smart card
payment system for on-street and off-street parking that is integrated and
interoperable with public transit fare collection systems, so that commuters can
pay for parking their vehicles with the same smart card they use to pay for
fares on public transportation.

Previously, Lexis Systems has been a provider of a variety of managed services
for major parking operators, national park systems, universities and colleges,
hospitals, city and county projects, major ski resorts, boat marinas and large
city transit programs.

Earlier this year, when the Washington Metropolitan Transit Authority (WMATA)
decided to use its SmarTrip(R) smart card system for all of its parking, it
chose Lexis to provide the equipment.

Nearly 1200 Lexis Pay Stations are installed throughout North America in key
cities, including Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Santa Monica,
San Diego, Denver, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Cleveland,
Cincinnati, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Atlanta.
Cubic has smart card automatic fare collection systems in many of these cities
and good opportunities in others. Parking is a factor in all of them.
Integration with the mass transit ticketing system is a natural step.

Central Parking Corporation (NYSE:CPC), a $1.3 billion NYSE company, previously
owned, through an affiliate, a controlling interest in Lexis Systems and
operates Lexis machines in over 500 locations. Cubic Parking Systems will
continue to support Central Parking as a supplier and systems integrator under a
5-year service contract. "As the world`s largest operator of parking services,
we are very excited about the opportunities this opens up for us to provide
services that are interoperable with regional smart card programs," said
Emmanuel Emanuel Eads, President and Chief Operating Officer of Central Parking
Corporation.

Cubic Transportation Systems, Inc., is the world`s leading full-service solution
provider of automated fare collection systems for public transport, including
bus, bus rapid transit, light rail, commuter rail, heavy rail, ferry and
parking. Cubic`s solutions and services include system design, central computer
systems, equipment design and manufacturing, device-level software, integration,
test, installation, warranty, maintenance, computer hosting services, call
centre services, card management and distribution services, financial clearing
and settlement, multi-application support and outsourcing services.

Every year, nearly 10 billion rides are taken worldwide using Cubic fare
collection systems. Cubic has delivered over 400 projects in 40 major markets on
five continents. Active projects include London; New York/New Jersey region;
Washington, D.C./Baltimore/Virginia region; Los Angeles region; San Diego
region; San Francisco; Minneapolis/St. Paul; Chicago; Houston; Atlanta; South
Florida; Vancouver and Edmonton, Canada; Brisbane, Australia; Singapore;
Bangkok, Thailand; and Scandinavia.

Cubic Wins $113 Million Contract to Provide Next-Generation MILES Equipment for U.S. Army; U.S. Army to Receive New Laser-Based Simulation Equipment for Infantry Weapons


SAN DIEGO, Jan 20, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The defense segment of Cubic
Corporation (AMEX: CUB) has won a five-year $113 million contract to produce and
field the U.S. Army`s next-generation Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement
System (MILES) Individual Weapon System (IWS) for live force-on-force training.
The initial award from the Army`s PEO STRI in Orlando, Fla., totals $14 million.

MILES IWS is based on Cubic`s widely endorsed MILES 2000 system, which has been
fielded to more than 60,000 troops worldwide since 1997. Cubic`s MILES allows
troops to train with actual weapons during force-on-force exercises; provides
real-time feedback on weapon engagements and "casualties" with pinpoint
accuracy; and records and analyzes the events for after action reviews.

"The award of MILES IWS is a strategic event for Cubic. It not only extends our
production base, but provides for the steady insertion of new technology to
significantly improve the quality of training for the U.S. Army," said Gerald
Dinkel, president and CEO of Cubic Defense Applications (CDA).

"We certainly appreciate the confidence the Army has placed in us, and we`re
committed to producing the most reliable and technically advanced system
possible," Dinkel continued. "Cubic`s MILES has proven its value in preparing
troops for combat, and I anticipate we could see production levels even higher
than those currently planned."

Cubic will deliver MILES IWS to approximately eight Army training centers and
various homestations throughout the world. The contract includes initial
deliveries to the National Training Center (NTC) at Fort Irwin, Calif., and the
Combat Maneuvering Training Center in Hohenfels, Germany.

Seth Bokmeyer, MILES business development director, said the new system features
many significant improvements over currently fielded MILES systems.

"IWS offers a significant upgrade to the basic MILES in terms of performance,
weight, overall usability and long-term supportability," Bokmeyer said. "The
advanced system features small, lightweight components, superior performance and
a proven, cost-effective design."

IWS is interoperable with previous configurations of MILES and is expandable to
include numerous possible upgrades. As an instrumentable system, IWS is designed
for easy integration with Combat Training Centers and mobile homestation
training systems. It also facilitates the Army`s evolution to future training
systems, including the One Tactical Engagement Simulation System (OneTESS)
program.

Initial deliveries of MILES IWS will begin in August.

The Cubic Defense Applications group, one of Cubic`s two major segments, is a
world leader in realistic combat training systems, mission support services and
defense electronics. The corporation`s other major segment, Cubic Transportation
Systems, designs and manufactures automatic fare collection systems for public
mass transit authorities. For more information about Cubic, see the company`s

Cubic Awarded $21.8 Million Contract for New Smart Card Fare Collection System for Bus and Rail Transport in Southern Sweden


SAN DIEGO, Mar 07, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cubic Transportation Systems
Limited, a subsidiary of Cubic Corporation (AMEX: CUB), has received a contract
valued at approximately US$21.8 million from Swedish transport operator
Skanetrafiken for the design, delivery and implementation of the "Resekortet"
smart card-based fare collection system. The new multi-modal system will connect
bus and rail services in Skane, the largest county in southern Sweden. Cubic
Nordic, a division of Cubic Transportation Systems, Ltd., will handle all
aspects of the contract.

This contract is the latest element in Cubic`s presence and commitment to the
Scandinavian transit industry. Cubic acquired the Danish company ScanPoint in
1994 and renamed it Cubic Nordic. ScanPoint had long been a major supplier of
automatic fare collection systems in Scandinavia. Cubic has strengthened Cubic
Nordic, and is committed to supporting the Scandinavian industry.

In fact, this contract replaces Skanetrafiken`s existing ScanPoint-supplied,
magnetics-based fare collection system for the transport operator`s 56 rail
stations and 950 buses.

The new system will provide South Sweden`s rail and bus commuters with greater
convenience by speeding up boarding times and allowing them the option of using
the Internet to automatically reload value onto their smart cards. It also will
reduce the risk of fraud and keep distractions to a minimum for the bus drivers
and train conductors, freeing them to focus on fast, safe, on-time service to
the travelers.

The new system will consist of operating software, communications, driver
control units and validators for buses; and ticket vending machines, station
validators and handheld devices for rail. Cubic will also supply and install its
Nextfare(TM) Central System for Skanetrafiken`s back office computing system.
The contract also includes an option for customer services and maintenance.

Cubic`s open architecture system design allows the other transport operators in
southern Sweden to join the "Resekortet" smart card-based system now or in the
future. The five other counties in Southern Sweden: Blekingetrafiken,
Lanstrafiken Kronoberg, Hallandstrafiken, Jonkoping Lanstrafik and Kalmar
Lantrafik, have indicated their intent to sign on to be part of a regional
system.

As an added bonus, the new ticketing system will also be compatible with
Denmark`s national TravelCard system. The use of common design and engineering
standards in developing smart card-based ticketing systems is a growing
phenomenon, as it provides a common platform for fare collection among multiple
transport operators for large geographic regions, such as Scandinavia.

"Resekortet is the most crucial and important public transport ticketing project
in Southern Sweden in many years," said Claus Klitholm, managing director of
Cubic Nordic. "It will also provide a link between Sweden`s and Denmark`s new,
contactless, smart card-based systems, which will add even greater convenience
for commuters who travel on both sides of the border. Our experience in
developing and operating a complex system, such as the PRESTIGE/Oyster Card
project for London Transport, proves we can meet the requirements and challenges
facing transport operators today."

The "Resekortet" system for Skane is scheduled to be in operation by the end of
2006.

Cubic Transportation Systems, Inc. is the world`s leading full-service solution
provider of automated fare collection systems for public transport, including
bus, bus rapid transit, light rail, commuter rail, heavy rail, ferry and
parking. Cubic`s solutions and services include system design, central computer
systems, equipment design and manufacturing, device-level software, integration,
test, installation, warranty, maintenance, computer hosting services, call
center services, card management and distribution services, financial clearing
and settlement, multi-application support and outsourcing services. Cubic Nordic
is headquartered in Glostrup, Denmark, with four customer service centers in
Sweden, one in Norway and one in Denmark.

Every year, nearly 10 billion rides are taken worldwide using Cubic fare
collection systems. Cubic has delivered over 400 projects in 40 major markets on
five continents. Current projects include Scandinavia, London, New York/New
Jersey region, Washington, D.C./Baltimore/Virginia region, Los Angeles region,
San Diego region, San Francisco, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Chicago, Houston,
Atlanta, South Florida, Vancouver and Edmonton, Canada, Brisbane, Australia,
Italy, Singapore and Thailand.

"I-HITS will significantly expand the Army`s ability to provide the critical
information for training `lessons learned,` which has proven to be a key element
in U.S. combat readiness and troop survival," said Gerald Dinkel, President and
CEO of Cubic Defense Applications.

"This is the second time in four months Cubic has received a major competitive
live training contract from the U.S. Army. More than two-thirds of our total
defense business is dedicated to training U.S. and allied forces to accomplish
their mission successfully with minimum casualties. It is a responsibility we
take seriously," Dinkel said.

I-HITS is based upon modular components, providing flexibility to expand
collective training activities. It is scalable for all levels of training, from

"We are very honored that the U.S. Army has selected Cubic`s I-HITS solution as
the system of choice for homestation and deployment training," said Ray Barker,
senior vice president of Cubic`s Training Systems Business Unit. "I-HITS will
provide our soldiers with the best training experience possible -- anywhere they
are deployed -- and ultimately assist in saving lives."

I-HITS comes packaged with player instrumentation, GPS player units and portable
communications systems that are fully integrated with a software-based exercise
control system. These technologies track the positions and casualty status of
troops and vehicles in real time and relay exercise data to command centers for
post-mission analysis and AAR presentations. With I-HITS, the AARs can be
conducted in tents, Humvees, trucks or shelters at training or operational
sites.

I-HITS also includes interfaces with C4ISR systems, including Force XXI Battle
Command, Brigade-and-Below (FBCB2) and also easily accommodates future and

Cubic Awarded $18.3 Million Delivery Order from U.S. Army for EST 2000 Small Arms Training Systems


SAN DIEGO, Aug 04, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The defense segment of Cubic
Corporation (AMEX: CUB) has received an $18.3 million delivery order to provide
its Engagement Skills Trainer 2000 (EST 2000) training systems, simulated
weapons and services to the U.S. Army.

Cubic received the award from the U.S. Army Program Executive Office for
Simulation Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) under the Army`s STRICOM
Omnibus Contract.

EST 2000 -- the only small arms training system validated by the U.S. Army
Infantry School -- teaches marksmanship skills, squad-level collective defense,
and judgmental `shoot-don`t shoot` tactics. The system trains soldiers in the
use of small arms, as well as the 50-caliber M-2 machine gun and the 40mm
Mark-19 grenade launcher.

Under the award, Cubic`s Simulation System Division will produce and deploy the
systems to the U.S. Army Active and Reserve components.

"Cubic and PEO STRI work as a close-knit team to ensure our soldiers are the
best trained in the world," said Terry Kohl, vice president and general manager
of the Simulation Systems Division. "This award confirms our customers`
confidence in our ability to rapidly respond to the ever increasing training
needs of our dedicated young men and women, and enables our division to continue
expanding our presence in the Orlando simulation and training marketplace."

Cubic has managed the Army`s EST 2000 program for the past six years. The
company has fielded more than 500 EST 2000 systems to Army installations
throughout the world, including the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii,
Korea, Germany, Afghanistan and Kuwait.

EST 2000 currently is being deployed for the U.S. Army`s Initial Entry Training
for Basic Rifle Marksmanship skills, which is required for all new soldiers
entering the Army. Plans are underway to deploy EST 2000 Deployable Shelters to
Iraq for sustainment training.

"When fully fielded, the EST 2000 will train more soldiers each year than any
other Army training system," said Kohl.

The Cubic Defense Applications group, one of Cubic`s two major segments, is a
world leader in realistic combat training systems, mission support services and
defense electronics. The corporation`s other major segment, Cubic Transportation
Systems, designs and manufactures automatic fare collection systems for public
mass transit authorities. For more information about Cubic, see the company`s

Boeing, Cubic Establish Training Systems Alliance

Nov 30, 2005 (Defense Daily/Access Intelligence via COMTEX) -- Cubic Corp. [CUB], which does a substantial amount of its defense business in providing training and simulation for the U.S. military, and Boeing [BA] on Monday, said they have agreed to an alliance to improve the development of technologies, and offer solutions, for integrated live, virtual and constructive training program.
"Boeing brings exceptional experience, investment and skills as a provider of virtual training systems, while Cubic brings exceptional experience, investment and skills in providing live training solutions and constructive simulation environments," said officials from both companies.

"This strategic alliance will enable our companies to pool our talents and technologies to shape innovative and effective solutions to assist the DoD with training transformation," said Keith Hertzenberg, vice president of Boeing`s Training Systems and Services unit. "With the combined strengths of these two companies, we expect to be a major factor in accelerating the integration of the training environments," said Gerald Dinkel, president of Cubic`s defense businesses.

The alliance comes a little over two years after Cubic beat Boeing for a $500 million contract to provide air combat maneuver instrumentation systems for the Air Force (Defense Daily, June 6, 2003). Cubic was the incumbent on the contract.

Under the alliance the companies have established a joint team to explore each other`s capabilities in the following areas: networking in all training environments; innovative simulation devices; integration of new and existing training systems; range technologies and services; and embedded training technologies.

Cubic Corp (Amex: CUB) Reports Increased Earnings on Higher Sales for the Quarter Ended December 31, 2005

Feb 08, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Cubic Corporation (Amex: CUB) today reported an increase in earnings on higher sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2005. Sales for the company`s first fiscal quarter were $195 million compared to $190 million last year, an increase of 3 percent. Net income increased to $10.5 million or $.39 per share from $5.3 million or $.20 per share in the same quarter last year. Included in this year`s net income was a gain on the sale of a real estate investment, which amounted to approximately $4.3 million after applicable income taxes. Operating income was $8.6 million in the first quarter this year compared to $7.6 million last year, an increase of 13 percent.
The increase in sales came from the defense segment despite lower sales from its service business due to a decrease in training exercises during the quarter at the Joint Readiness Training Center in Louisiana. The decrease was caused in large part because National Guard troops were diverted to hurricane relief efforts. The defense segment`s training and communications businesses posted comparative sales growth of 22 percent and 19 percent, respectively, for the quarter. Transportation systems sales were flat for the quarter compared to the first fiscal quarter last year but operating income increased from $1.9 million last year to $3.2 million this year.

The Cubic Defense Applications group provides realistic combat training systems for military forces as well as simulation, force modernization, educational services, operations & maintenance and manufacturing services. The group also supplies products and systems for C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance) applications, search and rescue avionics and radio communications for military and civil markets.
