Notes To Financial Statements

March 31, 2003

1. Stockholders’ Equity

   Earnings (Loss) Per Share

     Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus all additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive securities or common stock equivalents had been issued. Stock options and warrants to purchase 12.4 million and 12.6 million shares for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because such stock options and warrants were considered anti-dilutive. Shares associated with MRV’s outstanding Convertible Subordinated Notes (“Notes”) were not included in the computation of loss per share as they are anti-dilutive.

   Stock-Based Compensation

     MRV accounts for its employee stock plan under the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, and has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.”

     SFAS No. 123, and as amended by SFAS No. 148, permits companies to recognize, as expense over the vesting period, the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Because MRV’s stock-based compensation plans have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, management believes that the existing option valuation models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of awards from the plan. Therefore, as permitted, MRV applies the existing accounting rules under APB No. 25 and provides pro forma net loss and pro forma loss per share disclosures for stock-based awards made during the year as if the fair value method defined in SFAS No. 123, as amended, had been applied. Net loss and net loss per share for each of the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 would have increased to the following pro forma amounts (in thousands, except per share data):

                   
      March 31,   March 31,
      2003   2002
     
 
Net loss, as reported
  $ (6,400 )   $ (326,398 )
Additional compensation expense determined under the fair value based method
    (6,001 )     (6,194 )
 
   
     
 
Pro forma net loss
  $ (12,401 )   $ (332,592 )
 
   
     
 
Earnings per share:
               
 
Basic and diluted net loss per share – as reported
  $ (0.06 )   $ (3.85 )
 
   
     
 
 
Basic and diluted net loss per share – pro forma

     The following assumptions were applied: (i) no expected dividend yield for all periods, (ii) expected volatility of 104% for 2003 and 2002, (iii) expected lives of 4 to 6 years for all periods, (iv) and risk-free interest rates ranging from 2.69% to 6.73% for all periods.

2. Segment Reporting and Geographical Information

     MRV divides and operates its business based on three reportable segments: the networking group, the optical components group and development stage enterprises. The networking group designs, manufactures and distributes optical networking solutions and Internet infrastructure products. The optical components group designs, manufactures and distributes optical components and optical subsystems. Development stage enterprises that MRV has created or invested in are developing optical components, subsystems and networks and products for the infrastructure of the Internet. Segment information is therefore being provided on this basis, which differs from prior period presentations.

     The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting polices in MRV’s most recent Form 10-K. MRV evaluates segment performance based on revenues and operating expenses of each segment. As such, there are no separately identifiable segment assets nor are there any separately identifiable statements of operations data below operating income.

     Business segment revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 are as follows (in thousands):
