FINISAR CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Finisar Corporation is a leading provider of optical subsystems and components that
are used to interconnect equipment in local area networks, or LANs, storage area networks, or SANs, metropolitan area networks,
or MANs, fiber-to-home networks, or FTTx, cable television networks, or CATV, and wide area
networks, or WANs. The Companys optical subsystems consist primarily of transceivers and
transponders which provide the fundamental optical-electrical
interface for connecting various types of equipment used in building
these networks, including switches, routers and file servers used in
wireline networks as well as antennas and base stations for wireless
networks. These products rely on the use of digital and analog RF
semiconductor lasers in conjunction with integrated circuit design and novel packaging technology
to provide a cost-effective means for transmitting and receiving digital signals over fiber optic
cable using a wide range of network protocols, transmission speeds and physical configurations over
distances from 100 meters up to 200 kilometers. The Company also provides products for dynamically
switching network traffic from one optical link to another across multiple wavelengths without
first converting to an electrical signal known as reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers, or
ROADMs. The Companys line of optical components consists primarily of packaged lasers and
photodetectors used in transceivers, primarily for LAN and SAN applications and passive optical
components used in building MANs. Demand for the Companys
products is largely driven by the continually growing need for
additional bandwidth created by the ongoing proliferation of data and
video traffic that must be handled by both wireline and wireless
networks. The Companys manufacturing operations are vertically integrated
and include integrated circuit design and internal assembly and test capabilities for the Companys
optical subsystem products, as well as key components used in those subsystems. The Company sells
its optical subsystem and component products to manufacturers of storage and networking equipment
such as Alcatel-Lucent, Brocade, Cisco Systems, EMC, Emulex, Ericsson, Hewlett-Packard Company,
Huawei, IBM, Juniper, Qlogic, Siemens and Tellabs.
The Company formerly provided network performance test systems through its Network Tools
Division. On July 15, 2009, the Company consummated the sale of substantially all of the assets of
the Network Tools Division to JDS Uniphase Corporation (JDSU). In accordance with Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 205-20, Presentation
of Financial Statements, Discontinued Operations (formerly referenced as Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived
Assets), the operating results of this business and the assets and liabilities for all applicable
prior periods are reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial
statements for the period ended November 1, 2009. See Note 4 for further details regarding the sale
of division.
Finisar Corporation was incorporated in California in April 1987 and reincorporated in
Delaware in November 1999.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of November 1, 2009
and for the three and six month periods ended November 1, 2009 and November 2, 2008, have been
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
statements and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC), and include the accounts of Finisar Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries
(collectively, Finisar or the Company). Inter-company accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In
the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all
7
Table of Contents
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation of the Companys financial position at November 1, 2009 and its operating results and
cash flows for the three and six month periods ended November 1, 2009 and November 2, 2008. These
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Companys audited financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2009. The
Company has evaluated subsequent events through December 11, 2009, the date these financial
statements were issued.
FASB Accounting Standards Codification
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)a replacement of SFAS No. 162 (SFAS
168), which establishes the FASB ASC as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the
FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities. This guidance is effective for interim periods and
fiscal years ending after September 15, 2009. On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions
of this guidance and as a result, the majority of references to historically issued accounting
pronouncements are now superseded by references to the FASB ASC. Certain accounting pronouncements,
such as SFAS 168, will remain authoritative until they are integrated into the FASB ASC.
Fiscal Periods
The Company maintains its financial records on the basis of a fiscal year ending on April 30,
with fiscal quarters ending on the Sunday closest to the end of the period (thirteen-week periods).
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to
the current year presentation. These changes had no impact on the Companys previously reported
financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes
In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (ASC
470-20) (formerly referenced as FASB Staff Position (FSP) Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion
(Including Partial Cash Settlement) (FSP APB 14-1)). This standard addresses instruments commonly
referred to as Instrument C which requires the issuer to settle the principal amount in cash and
the conversion spread in cash or net shares at the issuers option. It requires that issuers of
these instruments account for their liability and equity components separately by bifurcating the
conversion option from the debt instrument, classifying the conversion option in equity and then
accreting the resulting discount on the debt as additional interest expense over the expected life
of the debt. ASC 470-20 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim
periods within those fiscal years and requires retrospective application to all periods presented.
On May 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 470-20 on a retrospective basis and
reflected additional interest expense of $1.1 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended
November 1, 2009 and
8
Table of Contents
November 2, 2008, respectively, and $2.3 million and $2.5 million for the six months ended
November 1, 2009 and November 2, 2008, respectively, in its condensed consolidated statement of
operations. In addition, the retrospective adoption of ASC 470-20 decreased debt issuance costs
included in other assets by an aggregate of $313,000, decreased convertible senior notes, net
included in long-term liabilities by $7.7 million, and increased total stockholders equity by $7.4
million after a charge of $12.1 million to accumulated deficit on its condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of April 30, 2009. See Note 12 for the impact of the adoption of ASC 470-20 on
prior period balances.
Reverse Stock Split
On September 25, 2009, the Company effected a 1-for-8 reverse split of its common stock,
pursuant to previously obtained stockholder authorization. The number of authorized shares of
common stock was not changed. The reverse stock split reduced the Companys issued and outstanding
shares of common stock as of September 25, 2009 from approximately 517,161,351 shares of Common
Stock to approximately 64,645,169 shares.
All share and per-share information in the accompanying financial statements have been
restated retroactively to reflect the reverse stock split. The common stock and additional paid-in
capital accounts at April 30, 2009 were adjusted retroactively to reflect the reverse stock split.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
The Companys revenue transactions consist predominately of sales of products to customers.
The Company follows FASB ASC 605-10, Revenue Recognition, Products (formerly referenced as SEC
Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition) and FASB ASC 605-25, Revenue
Recognition, Multiple-Element Arrangement (formerly referenced as Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) Issue 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables). Specifically, the Company
recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have
passed to the customer, generally upon shipment, the price is fixed or determinable, and
collectability is reasonably assured. For those arrangements with multiple elements, or in related
arrangements with the same customer, the arrangement is divided into separate units of accounting
if certain criteria are met, including whether the delivered item has stand-alone value to the
customer and whether there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered
items. The consideration received is allocated among the separate units of accounting based on
their respective fair values, and the applicable revenue recognition criteria are applied to each
of the separate units. In cases where there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of
the undelivered item in an arrangement but no such evidence for the delivered item, the residual
method is used to allocate the arrangement consideration. For units of accounting which include
more than one deliverable, the Company generally recognizes all revenue and cost of revenue for the
unit of accounting during the period in which the last undelivered item is delivered.
At the time revenue is recognized, the Company establishes an accrual for estimated warranty
expenses associated with sales, recorded as a component of cost of revenues. The Companys
customers and distributors generally do not have return rights. However, the Company has
established an allowance for estimated customer returns, based on historical experience, which is
netted against revenue.
Sales to certain distributors are made under agreements providing distributor price
adjustments and rights of return under certain circumstances. Revenue and costs relating to
distributor sales are deferred until products are sold by the distributors to end customers.
Revenue recognition depends on notification from the distributor that
9
Table of Contents
product has been sold to the end customer. Also reported by the distributor are product resale
price, quantity and end customer shipment information, as well as inventory on hand. Deferred
revenue on shipments to distributors reflects the effects of distributor price adjustments and, the
amount of gross margin expected to be realized when distributors sell-through products purchased
from the Company. Accounts receivable from distributors are recognized and inventory is relieved
when title to inventories transfers, typically upon shipment from the Company at which point the
Company has a legally enforceable right to collection under normal payment terms.
Segment Reporting
FASB ASC 280, Segment Reporting (formerly referenced as SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information) establishes standards for the way that public
business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and
requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim
financial reports. ASC 280 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and
services, geographic areas and major customers. Prior to the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the
Company had determined that it operated in two segments consisting of optical subsystems and
components and network test systems. After the sale of the assets of the Network Tools Division to
JDSU in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company has one reportable segment comprising
optical subsystems and components.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk
include cash, cash equivalents, available-for-sale and restricted investments and accounts
receivable. The Company places its cash, cash equivalents, available-for-sale and restricted
investments with high-credit quality financial institutions. Such investments are generally in
excess of FDIC insurance limits.
Concentrations of credit risk, with respect to accounts receivable, exist to the extent of
amounts presented in the financial statements. Generally, the Company does not require collateral
or other security to support customer receivables. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations
of its customers and maintains an allowance for potential credit losses based on historical
experience and other information available to management. Losses to date have not been material.
The Companys five largest customers represented 41% and 48% of total accounts receivable at
November 1, 2009 and April 30, 2009, respectively. As of November 1, 2009, one customer accounted
for 13% of total accounts receivable. As of April 30, 2009, two customers accounted for 19% and
17%, respectively, of total accounts receivable.
The Company sells products primarily to customers located in Asia and North America. During
the three and six months ended November 1, 2009, sales to the Companys five largest customers
represented 43% of total revenues, respectively. During the three and six months ended November 2,
2008, sales to the Companys five largest customers represented 42% and 40% of total revenues,
respectively. One customer, Cisco Systems, represented more than 10% of total revenues during each
of these periods.
Included in the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheet at November 1, 2009 are the net
assets of the Companys manufacturing operations, substantially all of which are located at its
overseas manufacturing facilities and which total approximately $84.2 million.

Table of Contents
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Companys foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. Assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate on the
balance sheet dates. Revenues and expenses are translated using average exchange rates prevailing
during the year. Any translation adjustments resulting from this process are shown separately as a
component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses
are included in the determination of net loss.
Research and Development
Research and development expenditures are charged to operations as incurred.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company records costs related to shipping and handling in cost of sales for all periods
presented.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Finisars cash equivalents consist of money market funds and highly liquid short-term
investments with qualified financial institutions. Finisar considers all highly liquid investments
with an original maturity from the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Investments
Available-for-Sale Investments
Available-for-sale investments consist of interest bearing securities with maturities of
greater than three months from the date of purchase and equity securities. Pursuant to FASB ASC
320, Investments-Debt and Equity Securities (formerly referenced as SFAS No. 115, Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities), the Company has classified certain of its
investments as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at market value, which
approximates fair value, and unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect,
are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of accumulated other
comprehensive income until realized. A decline in the market value of the security below cost that
is deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings, resulting in the establishment of a new cost
basis for the security.
Other Investments
The Company uses the cost method of accounting for investments in companies that do not have a
readily determinable fair value in which it holds an interest of less than 20% and over which it
does not have the ability to exercise significant influence. For entities in which the Company
holds an interest of greater than 20% or in which the Company does have the ability to exercise
significant influence, the Company uses the equity method. In determining if and when a decline in
the market value of these investments below their carrying value is other-than-temporary, the
Company evaluates the market conditions, offering prices, trends of earnings and cash flows, price
multiples, prospects for liquidity and other key measures of performance. The Companys policy is
to recognize an impairment in the value of its minority equity investments when clear evidence of
an impairment exists, such as (a) the completion of a new equity financing that may indicate a new
value for the investment, (b) the failure to complete a new equity financing arrangement after
seeking to raise additional funds or (c) the commencement of proceedings under which the assets of
the business may be placed in receivership or liquidated to satisfy the claims of debt and equity
stakeholders. The Companys minority investments in private companies are generally made in exchange for preferred stock with a
liquidation preference that is intended to help protect the underlying value of its investment.

Fair Value Accounting
FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly referenced as SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and
expands the related disclosure requirements. This statement applies to accounting pronouncements
that require or permit fair value measurements with certain exclusions. The standard provides that
a fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability
occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market,
the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants on the measurement date. This standard establishes a valuation hierarchy for
disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. Valuation techniques used to
measure fair value under this standard must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the
use of unobservable inputs The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of
inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be
used to measure fair value which are the following:
Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities;
Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or
inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market
corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and
liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liabilitys classification within the hierarchy is
determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company classifies investments within Level 1 if quoted prices are available in active
markets. Level 1 assets include instruments valued based on quoted market prices in active markets
which generally include money market funds, corporate publicly traded equity securities on major
exchanges and U.S. Treasury notes with quoted prices on active markets. The Company classifies
items in Level 2 if the investments are valued using observable inputs to quoted market prices,
benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes or alternative pricing sources with
reasonable levels of price transparency. These investments include: government agencies, corporate
bonds and commercial paper. See Note 9 for additional details regarding the fair value of the
Companys investments.
The Company did not hold financial assets and liabilities which were valued using unobservable
inputs as of November 1, 2009 or April 30, 2009.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or
market.
The Company permanently writes down the cost of inventory that the Company specifically
identifies and considers obsolete or excessive to fulfill future sales estimates. The Company
defines obsolete inventory as inventory that will no longer be used in the manufacturing process.
Excess inventory is generally defined as inventory in excess of projected usage and is determined
using managements best estimate of future demand, based upon information then available to the
Company. The Company also considers: (1) parts and
12
Table of Contents
subassemblies that can be used in alternative finished products, (2) parts and subassemblies
that are likely to be engineered out of the Companys products, and (3) known design changes which
would reduce the Companys ability to use the inventory as planned.
In quantifying the amount of excess inventory, the Company assumes that the last twelve months
of demand is generally indicative of the demand for the next twelve months. Inventory on hand that
is in excess of that demand is written down. Obligations to purchase inventory acquired by
subcontractors based on forecasts provided by the Company are recognized at the time such
obligations arise.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization.
Property and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of
the assets, generally three years to seven years except for buildings, which are depreciated over
twenty-five years. Land is carried at acquisition cost and not depreciated. Leased land is
depreciated over the life of the lease.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill, purchased technology, and other intangible assets result from acquisitions are
accounted for under the purchase method. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over
their estimated useful lives. Amortization of purchased technology and other intangibles has been
provided on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from three to ten years. The amortization of
goodwill ceased with the adoption of FASB ASC 350, Intangibles- Goodwill and Other (formerly
referenced as SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets) beginning in the first quarter of
fiscal 2003. Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs
or circumstances change between annual tests that would more likely than not reduce the fair value
of the reporting unit below its carrying value.
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company periodically evaluates whether changes have occurred to long-lived assets that
would require revision of the remaining estimated useful life of the assets or render them not
recoverable. If such circumstances arise, the Company uses an estimate of the undiscounted value of
expected future operating cash flows to determine whether the long-lived assets are impaired. If
the aggregate undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets, the
resulting impairment charge to be recorded is calculated based on the excess of the carrying value
of the assets over the fair value of such assets, with the fair value determined based on an
estimate of discounted future cash flows.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718 (ASC 718),
Compensation-Stock Compensation (formerly referenced as SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all
stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options and
employee stock purchases under the Companys Employee Stock Purchase Plan based on estimated fair
values. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the
date of grant using an option pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing
model to determine the fair value of stock based awards under ASC 718. The value of the portion of
the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service
periods in the consolidated statements of operations.
13
Table of Contents
Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of
operations for the three and six months ended November 1, 2009 and November 2, 2008 included
compensation expense for stock-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, the
adoption of ASC 718. Compensation expense for expected-to-vest stock-based awards that were granted
on or prior to April 30, 2006 was valued under the multiple-option approach and will continue to be
amortized using the accelerated attribution method. Subsequent to April 30, 2006, compensation
expense for expected-to-vest stock-based awards is valued under the single-option approach and
amortized on a straight-line basis, net of estimated forfeitures.
Computation of Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share is presented in accordance with FASB ASC 260,
Earnings Per Share (ASC 260), (formerly referenced as SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share), for all
periods presented. Basic net income (loss) per share has been computed using the weighted-average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share
has been computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and dilutive
potential common shares from options and warrants (under the treasury stock method) and convertible
notes (on an as-if-converted basis) outstanding during the period.
The following table presents common stock equivalents related to potentially dilutive
securities excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share from continuing operations

Income Taxes
We use the liability method to account for income taxes as required by FASB ASC 740, Income
Taxes (formerly referenced as SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes). As part of the process of
preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate income taxes in each
of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves determining our income tax expense
together with calculating the deferred income tax expense related to temporary differences
resulting from the differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes, such as deferred
revenue or deductibility of certain intangible assets. These temporary differences result in
deferred tax assets or liabilities, which are included within the consolidated balance sheets.
We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to an amount that we
estimate is more likely than not to be realized. We consider estimated future taxable income and
prudent tax planning strategies in determining the need for a valuation allowance. When we
determine that it is more likely than not that some or all of our tax attributes will be realizable
by either refundable income taxes or future taxable income, the valuation allowance will be reduced
and the related tax impact will be recorded to the provision in that quarter. Likewise, should we
determine that we are not likely to realize all or part of our deferred tax assets in the future,
an increase to the valuation allowance would be recorded to the provision in the period such
determination was made.

Recent Adoption of New Accounting Standards
As discussed earlier, the Company has adopted SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a Replacement of FASB
Statement No. 162 (SFAS 168) and provides references to the topics of the codification in this
report alongside references to the previous standards.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company adopted FASB ASC 470-20 which specifies that
issuers of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion should
separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the
entitys nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods.
See Note 12 for the impact of the adoption of ASC 470-20 on the Companys financial position and
results of operations.
In May 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 855, Subsequent Events (ASC 855) (formerly referenced
as SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events). ASC 855 requires an entity to recognize in the financial
statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions
that existed at the date of the balance sheet. For nonrecognized subsequent events that must be
disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, an entity will be required to
disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement
that such an estimate cannot be made. In addition, ASC 855 requires an entity to disclose the date
through which subsequent events have been evaluated. ASC 855 is effective for the Company beginning
in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and is required to be applied prospectively. The implementation
of this standard did not have any impact on the financial statements of the Company. Subsequent
events through the filing date of this Form 10-Q report have been evaluated for disclosure and
recognition.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments (ASC 825-10) (formerly
referenced as SFAS No. 107-1) and FASB ASC 270-10-05-01, Interim Reporting (ASC 270-10-05-01)
(formerly referenced as Accounting Principle Board Opinion No. 28-1, Interim Disclosures About
Fair Value of Financial Instrument). ASC 825-10 and ASC 270-10-05-01 require fair value
disclosures in both interim and annual financial statements in order to provide more timely
information about the effects of current market conditions on financial instruments. ASC 825-10
and ASC 270-10-05-01 are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The
Company adopted these standards as of May 1, 2009. As ASC 825-10 and ASC 270-10-05-01 relate
specifically to disclosures, these standards had no impact on the Companys financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows. See Note 18 for further discussion.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB ASC 810, Consolidation, Non-Controlling Interests (ASC
810) (formerly referenced as SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements-an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51). ASC 810 addresses the accounting
and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the
amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest,
changes in a parents ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity
investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. ASC 810 also establishes disclosure requirements
that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the
noncontrolling owners. ASC 810 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The
adoption of this standard had no impact on the Companys financial condition, results of operations
or cash flows.

Table of Contents
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805) (formerly
referenced as SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations) which established principles and
requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements
the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the
acquiree. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired
in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the
financial statement to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. ASC
805 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2008. Accordingly, any business combinations the Company engages in subsequent to May 1, 2009 will
be accounted for in accordance with ASC 805. The Company expects ASC 805 will have an impact on its
consolidated financial statements but the nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend
upon the nature, terms and size of any acquisitions it may consummate after the effective date.
There were no business combinations consummated in the first half of fiscal 2010 by the Company.
Pending Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In September 2009, the FASB amended the ASC as summarized in ASU 2009-14, Software (Topic
985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements, and ASU 2009-13, Revenue
Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. As summarized in ASU 2009-14,
ASC Topic 985 has been amended to remove from the scope of industry specific revenue accounting
guidance for software and software related transactions, tangible products containing software
components and non-software components that function together to deliver the products essential
functionality. As summarized in ASU 2009-13, ASC Topic 605 has been amended (1) to provide updated
guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables in an arrangement should be
separated, and the consideration allocated; (2) to require an entity to allocate revenue in an
arrangement using estimated selling prices of deliverables if a vendor does not have
vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) or third-party evidence of selling price; and (3) to
eliminate the use of the residual method and require an entity to allocate revenue using the
relative selling price method. The accounting changes summarized in ASU 2009-14 and ASU 2009-13 are
both effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted.
Adoption may either be on a prospective basis or by retrospective application. The Company has not
completed its assessment of the impact ASU 2009-14 and ASU 2009-13 will have on its financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing (ASC 860) (formerly
referenced as SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment of SFAS 140,
Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities). The
FASBs objective in issuing ASC 860 was to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness,
and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements
about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position,
financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferors continuing involvement, if any, in
transferred financial assets. ASC 860 must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting
entitys first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods
within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods
thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. ASC 860 must be applied to transfers occurring on or
after the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the
adoption of ASC 860 on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

3. Business Combination
On August 29, 2008, the Company consummated a combination with Optium Corporation, a leading
designer and manufacturer of high performance optical subsystems for use in telecommunications and
cable TV network systems, through the merger of Optium with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company. The Companys management and board of directors believe that the combination of the two
companies created the worlds largest supplier of optical components, modules and subsystems for
the communications industry and will leverage the Companys leadership position in the storage and
data networking sectors of the industry and Optiums leadership position in the telecommunications
and CATV sectors to create a more competitive industry participant. In addition, as a result of the
combination, management believes that the Company should be able to realize cost synergies related
to operating expenses and manufacturing costs resulting from (1) the transfer of production to
lower cost locations, (2) improved purchasing power associated with being a larger company and (3)
cost synergies associated with the integration of internally manufactured components into product
designs in place of components previously purchased by Optium in the open market. The Company has
accounted for the combination using the purchase method of accounting and as a result has included
the operating results of Optium in its consolidated financial results since the August 29, 2008
consummation date. The following table summarizes the components of the total purchase price (in
thousands):
Fair value of Finisar common stock issued |
$ | 242,821 | ||
Fair value of vested Optium stock options and warrants assumed |
8,561 | |||
Direct transaction costs |
2,431 | |||
Total purchase price |
$ | 253,813 | ||
At the closing of the merger, the Company issued 20,101,082 shares of its common stock valued
at approximately $242.8 million for all of the outstanding common stock of Optium. The value of the
shares issued was calculated using the five day average of the closing price of the Companys
common stock from the second trading day before the merger announcement date on May 16, 2008
through the second trading day following the announcement, or $12.08 per share. There were
approximately 2,150,325 shares of the Companys common stock issuable upon the exercise of the
outstanding options, warrants and restricted stock awards it assumed in accordance with the terms
of the merger agreement. The number of shares was calculated based on the fixed conversion ratio of
0.7827 shares of Finisar common stock for each share of Optium common stock. The purchase price
includes $8.6 million representing the fair market value of the vested options and warrants
assumed.
The Company also expects to recognize approximately $5.1 million of non-cash stock-based
compensation expense related to the unvested options assumed on the acquisition date. This expense
will be recognized beginning from the acquisition date over the remaining service period of the
awards. The Company has recognized $1.8 million of expense relating to these options as of November
1, 2009. The stock options and warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model
using the following weighted average assumptions:
Interest rate |
2.17 - 4.5 | % | ||
Volatility |
47 - 136 | % | ||
Expected life |
1 - 6 years | |||
Expected dividend yield |
0 | % |
Direct transaction costs include estimated legal and accounting fees and other external costs
directly related to the merger.

Purchase Price Allocation
The Company accounted for the purchase of Optium using the purchase method of accounting. The
purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed
based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date of August 29, 2008. The excess of the
purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill. The
Company believes the fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based
on reasonable assumptions. The total purchase price has been allocated to the fair value of assets
acquired and liabilities assumed as follows (in thousands):
Tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed: |

Identifiable Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist primarily of developed technology, customer relationships and
trademarks. Developed technology is comprised of products that have reached technological
feasibility and are a part of Optiums product lines. This proprietary know-how can be leveraged to
develop new technology and products and improve our existing products. Customer relationships
represent Optiums underlying relationships with its customers. Trademarks represent the fair value
of brand name recognition associated with the marketing of Optiums products. The fair values of
identified intangible assets were calculated using an income approach and estimates and assumptions
provided by both Finisar and Optium management. The rates utilized to discount net cash flows to
their present values were based on the Companys weighted average cost of capital and ranged from
15% to 30%. This discount rate was determined after consideration for the Companys rate of return
on debt capital and equity and the weighted average return on invested capital. The amounts
assigned to developed technology, customer relationships, and trademarks were $12.1 million, $11.9
million and $1.1 million, respectively. The Company expects to amortize developed technology,
customer relationships, and trademarks on a straight-line basis over their weighted average
expected useful life of 10, 5, and 1 years, respectively. Developed technology is amortized into
cost of sales while customer relationships and trademarks are amortized into operating expenses.
In-Process Research and Development
The Company expensed in-process research and development (IPR&D) upon acquisition as it
represented incomplete Optium research and development projects that had not reached technological
feasibility and had no alternative future use as of the date of the merger. Technological
feasibility is established when an enterprise has completed all planning, designing, coding, and
testing activities that are necessary to establish that a product can be produced to meet its
design specifications including functions, features, and technical performance requirements. The
value assigned to IPR&D of $10.5 million was determined by considering the importance of
19
Table of Contents
each project to the Companys overall development plan, estimating costs to develop the purchased IPR&D
into commercially viable products, estimating the resulting net cash flows from the projects when
completed and discounting the net cash flows to their present values based on the percentage of
completion of the IPR&D projects as of the date of the merger.

4. Discontinued Operations
During the three months ended August 2, 2009, the Company completed the sale of
substantially all of the assets of its Network Tools Division to JDSU. The Company received $40.6
million in cash and recorded a net gain on sale of the business of $36.1 million before income
taxes, which is included in income from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the Companys
condensed consolidated statements of operations. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant
and Equipment- Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets (ASC 360) (formerly referenced as SFAS
144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets), the operating results of this
business, through November 1, 2009 and for all applicable prior periods are reported as
discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The assets and
liabilities related to this business have been classified as discontinued operations in the
consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. As a result, the prior period
comparative financial statements have been restated to exclude assets, liabilities and results of
operations related to the discontinued operations. In accordance with FASB ASC 230, Statement of
Cash Flows (formerly referenced as SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows), the Company has elected
not to separately disclose the cash flows associated with the discontinued operations in the
condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

In connection with the sale of the assets of the Network Tools Division, the Company
entered into a transition services agreement with the buyer. Under this agreement, the Company will
provide manufacturing services to the buyer for a period which is not expected to be more than one
year. The buyer will reimburse the Company for material costs plus 10% for the first six months,
plus 12% for the first three months of any extension and plus 15% for the second three months of
any extension. The buyer will also pay the Company a fixed fee of $50,000 per month to cover
manufacturing overhead and direct labor costs. Under the agreement, the buyer will also pay a fixed
fee for leasing the Companys facilities and a service fee for the use of the
22
Table of Contents
Companys information technology, communication services and employee services. The duration for which these services
will be provided is not expected to be more than twelve months. During the second quarter of fiscal
2010, the Company incurred net operating expense of $67,000 for providing manufacturing services to
the buyer.

that was written-off in previous periods with an approximate cost of $4.4 million and $7.1 million,
respectively. As a result, cost of revenue associated with the sale of this inventory was zero.
During the three and six months ended November 2, 2008, the Company recorded charges of $3.6
million and $6.0 million, respectively, for excess and obsolete inventory, and sold inventory that
was written-off in previous periods with an approximate cost of $1.2 million and $2.9 million,

7. Income Taxes
The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $38,000 and a benefit for income taxes of
$7,743,000 for the three months ended November 1, 2009 and November 2, 2008, respectively. The
income tax benefit for the three months ended November 2, 2008 includes a non-cash benefit of
$8,398,000 from the
23
Table of Contents
reversal of the previously recorded deferred tax liabilities related to tax
amortization of goodwill for which no financial statement amortization has occurred. The provision
for income tax expense of $38,000 for the three months ended November 1, 2009 includes minimum
state taxes, federal refundable credits and foreign income taxes arising in certain foreign
jurisdictions in which the Company conducts business.
The Company records a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets for each period in
which management concludes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. Realization of the Companys net deferred tax assets is dependent upon future taxable
income the amount and timing of which are uncertain. Accordingly, the Companys net deferred tax
assets as of November 1, 2009 have been fully offset by a valuation allowance.
A portion of the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets at November 1, 2009 relates to
the stock option deductions, the tax benefit of which will be credited to paid-in capital if and
when realized, and, thereafter, to income tax expense.
Utilization of the Companys net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to
a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations set forth by Internal
Revenue Code Section 382 and similar state provisions. Such an annual limitation could result in
the expiration of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before utilization.
The Companys total gross unrecognized tax benefits as of May 1, 2009 and November 1, 2009
were $12.5 million. There was no change in the uncertain tax position. Excluding the effects of
recorded valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, $10.5 million of the unrecognized tax
benefits would favorably impact the effective tax rate in future periods if recognized.
Due to the Companys taxable loss position since inception, all tax years are subject to
examination in the U.S. and state jurisdictions. The Company is also subject to examination in
various foreign jurisdictions, none of which are individually material. It is the Companys belief
that no significant changes in the unrecognized tax benefit positions will occur within 12 months
of April 30, 2009.
The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax
expense. At November 1, 2009, there were no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax
positions. The Company recorded no interest or penalties for the quarter ended November 1, 2009.

Goodwill impairment
During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company performed a goodwill impairment analysis
as it concluded that there were sufficient indicators to require an interim goodwill impairment
analysis. Among these indicators were a significant deterioration in the macroeconomic environment
largely caused by the widespread unavailability of business and consumer credit, a significant
decrease in the Companys market capitalization as a result of a decrease in the trading price of
its common stock to $4.88 at the end of the quarter and a decrease in internal expectations for
near term revenues, especially those expected to result from the Optium merger. For the purposes of
this analysis, the Companys estimates of fair value were based on a combination of the income
approach, which estimates the fair value of its reporting units based on future discounted cash
flows, and the market approach, which estimates the fair value of its reporting units based on
comparable market prices. As of the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second
quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company had not completed its analysis due to the complexities involved
in determining the implied fair value of the goodwill for the optical subsystems and components
reporting unit, which is based on the determination of the fair value of all assets and liabilities
of this reporting unit. However, based on the work performed through the date of the filing, the
Company concluded that an impairment loss was probable and could be reasonably estimated.
Accordingly, it recorded a $178.8 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge, representing its
best estimate of the impairment loss during the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

Sale of an Available-for-Sale Equity Security
During fiscal 2008, the Company granted an option to a third party to acquire 3.8 million
shares of stock of a publicly-held company held by the Company. The Company determined that this
option should be accounted for under the provisions of FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging
(formerly referenced as SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities), which requires the Company to calculate the fair value of the option at the end of
each reporting period, upon the exercise of the option or at the time the option expires and
recognize the change in fair value through other income (expense), net. As of April 30, 2008, the
Company had recorded a current liability of $1.1 million related to the fair value of this option.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the third party did not exercise its option to purchase
any of the shares and the option expired. Accordingly, the Company reduced the carrying value of
the option liability to zero and recorded $1.1 million of other income during the three months
ended August 3, 2008.
27
Table of Contents
During the quarter ended November 2, 2008, the Company sold 300,000 shares of this investment
for $90,000 resulting in a realized loss of $12,000. As of November 2, 2008, the Company classified
the remaining 3.5 million shares as available-for-sale securities in accordance with FASB ASC 320,
Investments- Debt and Equity Securities (formerly referenced as SFAS No. 115, Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities). The Company determined that the full carrying
value of these shares was other-than-temporarily impaired and it recorded a loss of $1.2 million
during the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
10. Minority Investments
The carrying value of the Companys minority investments at April 30, 2009 was $14.3 million
and was comprised of minority investment in four privately held companies accounted for under the
cost method. The Company concluded that there were sufficient indicators during the second quarter
of fiscal 2010 to require an investment impairment analysis of its investment in one of these
companies. Among these indicators was the completion of a new round of equity financing by the
investee and the resultant conversion of the Companys preferred stock holdings to common stock.
The Company determined that the value of its minority equity investment was impaired and recorded a
$2.0 million impairment loss as other expense on the condensed consolidated statement of
operations. At November 1, 2009, the carrying value of minority investments was $12.3 million and
was comprised of the Companys minority investment in three privately held companies.
During the first half of fiscal 2009, the Company completed the sale of a product line to a
third party in exchange for an 11% equity interest in the acquiring company in the form of
preferred stock and a note convertible into preferred stock. This product line was related to the
Companys Network Tools Division, the remaining assets of which were sold to JDSU in the first
quarter of fiscal 2010 and accounted for as discontinued operations. For accounting purposes, no
value was originally placed on the equity interest due to the uncertainty in the recoverability of
this investment and note. The sale included the transfer of certain assets and liabilities and the
retention of certain obligations related to the sale of the product line resulting in a net loss of
approximately $919,000 which was included in operating expenses. In the first quarter of fiscal
2010, the Company sold the note and all of the preferred stock back to the buyer of the product
line for $1.2 million in cash and recorded the $1.2 million as income from discontinued operations.

12. Convertible Debt
5.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029
On October 15, 2009, the Company sold $100 million aggregate principal amount of 5.0%
Convertible Senior Notes due 2029. The notes will mature on October 15, 2029, unless earlier
repurchased, redeemed or converted. Interest on the notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears
at a rate of 5.0% per annum on each April 15 and October 15, beginning on April 15, 2010. The notes
are senior unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company, and rank equally in right of
payment with the Companys other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, but are effectively
subordinated to the Companys secured indebtedness and liabilities to the extent of the value of
the collateral securing those obligations, and structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and
other liabilities of the Companys subsidiaries. Holders may convert the notes into shares of the
Companys common stock, at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the trading
day before the stated maturity date. The initial conversion rate is 93.6768 shares of Common Stock
per $1,000 principal amount of the notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of
approximately $10.68 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of
certain events. Upon conversion of the notes, holders will receive shares of common stock unless
the Company obtains consent from a majority of the holders to deliver cash or a combination of cash
and shares of common stock in satisfaction of its conversion obligation. If a holder elects to
convert the notes in connection with a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture) that
occurs prior to October 15, 2014, the conversion rate applicable to the notes will be increased as
provided in the indenture.
Holders may require the Company to redeem, for cash, all or part of their notes upon a
fundamental change at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being
redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the redemption date. Holders may
also require the Company to redeem, for cash, any of their notes on October 15, 2014, October 15,
2016, October 15, 2019 and October 15, 2024 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the
redemption date.
The Company has the right to redeem the Notes in whole or in part at a redemption price equal
to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to,
but excluding, the redemption date, at any time on or after October 22, 2014 if the last reported
sale price per share of the Companys common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for at
least 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending within five trading
days of the date on which the Company provides the notice of redemption.

As discussed in Note 1, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 470-20 in the
first quarter of fiscal 2010. The provisions of this ASC apply to the Companys 2 1/2% Convertible
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010, and the Company has accounted for the debt and equity
components of the notes to reflect the estimated nonconvertible debt borrowing rate at the date of
issuance of 8.59%.

Interest (cash interest cost) on the 2 1/2% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes is
payable semiannually on April 15 and October 15. The notes become convertible, at the option of the
holder, upon the trading price of the Companys common stock reaching $39.36 for a period of time
at a conversion price of $26.24 per share, which is equal to a rate of approximately 38.1097 shares
of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes. The conversion price is subject to
adjustment. The notes contain a net share settlement feature which requires that, upon conversion
of the notes into common stock, Finisar will pay holders in cash for up to the principal amount of
the converted notes and that any amounts in excess of the cash amount will be settled in shares of
common stock. At November 1, 2009, the if-converted value of the 2 1/2% Convertible Senior
Subordinated Notes did not exceed the principal balance.
At November 1, 2009, the $1.7 million unamortized debt discount had a remaining amortization

14. Revolving Line of Credit Agreement
Former Credit Facility
On October 23, 2009, the Company terminated its revolving line of credit agreement with
Silicon Valley Bank. This line of credit agreement allowed for advances in the aggregate amount of
$25 million subject to certain restrictions and limitations. Borrowings under this line were
collateralized by substantially all of the Companys assets except its intellectual property rights
and bear interest, at the Companys option, at either the banks prime rate plus 0.5% or LIBOR plus
3%. There were no outstanding borrowings under this revolving line as of April 30, 2009 or on the
date of termination of the agreement.
34
Table of Contents
New Credit Facility
On October 2, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC to
establish a new four-year $70 million senior secured revolving credit facility. Borrowings under
the credit facility will bear interest at rates based on the prime rate and LIBOR plus variable
margins, under which applicable interest rates currently range from 5.75% to 6.25% per annum.
Borrowings will be guaranteed by Finisars U.S. subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of
the assets of Finisar and its U.S. subsidiaries. The credit facility matures four years following
the date of the agreement, subject to certain conditions. The Company was in compliance with all
covenants associated with this facility as of November 1, 2009. There were no outstanding
borrowings under this revolving line of credit at November 1, 2009.
15. Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement
In April 2005, the Company entered into a letter of credit reimbursement agreement with
Silicon Valley Bank. Several amendments were made to the agreement subsequently. The last amendment
was on April 30, 2009. Under the terms of the amended agreement, Silicon Valley Bank agreed to
provide to the Company, through October 24, 2009, a $4.0 million letter of credit facility covering
existing letters of credit issued by Silicon Valley Bank and any other letters of credit that may
be required by the Company. The cost related to the credit facility consisted of the banks out of
pocket expenses associated with the credit facility. The credit facility was unsecured but included
a negative pledge that prohibited the Company from creating a security interest in any of its
assets in favor of a subsequent creditor without the approval of Silicon Valley Bank. Outstanding
letters of credit secured under this agreement at April 30, 2009 totaled $3.4 million. On October
23, 2009, the Company terminated this letter of credit agreement. As of November 1, 2009, the $3.4
million of letters of credit issued by Silicon Valley Bank remained outstanding, as the Company was
in the process of obtaining new replacement letters of credit through Wells Fargo Bank. Following
the termination of the agreement, the Company secured the outstanding letters of credit with
restricted certificates of deposit of $3.4 million.
16. Non-recourse Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement
On October 28, 2004, the Company entered into a non-recourse accounts receivable purchase
agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. Several amendments were subsequently made to the agreement. The
last amendment was on October 28, 2008. Under the terms of the amended agreement, the Company could
sell to Silicon Valley Bank, through October 24, 2009 up to $16 million of qualifying receivables
whereby all right, title and interest in the Companys invoices were purchased by Silicon Valley
Bank. In these non-recourse sales, the Company removed sold receivables from its books and records
no liability related to the sale, as the Company has assessed that the sales should be accounted
for as true sales in accordance with FASB ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing. The discount interest
for the facility is based on the number of days in the discount period multiplied by Silicon Valley
Banks prime rate plus 0.25% and a non-refundable administrative fee of 0.25% of
the face amount of each invoice. During the three and six months ended November 2, 2008, the
Company sold approximately $10.0 million and $15.2 million, respectively of its trade receivables.
During the first half of fiscal 2010, the Company did not sell any receivables under the facility.
On October 23, 2009, the Company terminated this non-recourse accounts receivable purchase
agreement with Silicon Valley Bank.
17. Warranty
The Company generally offers a one-year limited warranty for its products. The specific terms
and conditions of these warranties vary depending upon the product sold. The Company estimates the
costs that may be incurred under its basic limited warranty and records a liability in the amount
of such costs based on revenue

notes -The fair value of subordinated and senior subordinated
convertible notes is estimated using the price from the repurchase transaction that the Company completed during October 2009. The fair value of the 5.0% Senior Convertible Notes due 2029 is
based on model derived valuation using observable market inputs, such
as LIBOR-based yield curves, stock volatility and credit ratings.
Long-term debt The fair value of long-term debt approximates its carrying value.
The Company has not estimated the fair value of its minority investments as it is not
practicable to estimate the fair value of these investments because of the lack of a quoted market
price and the inability to estimate fair value without incurring excessive costs. As of November 1,
2009, the carrying value of its minority investments is $12.3 million which management believes is
not impaired as of November 1, 2009.

During the three and six months ended November 1, 2009, 0 and 801,518 shares of common
stock were issued under the Companys Employee Stock Purchase Plan, respectively, and 297,479 and
331,426 stock options were exercised, respectively. As of November 1, 2009, total compensation cost
related to unvested stock options and restricted stock units not yet recognized was approximately
$16.6 million which is expected to be recognized over the next 26 months on a weighted-average
basis.
Accuracy of Fair Value Estimates
The Black-Scholes option valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions,
including the expected life of the stock-based award and the stock price volatility. The
assumptions listed above represent managements best estimates, but these estimates involve
inherent uncertainties and the application of
37
Table of Contents
management judgment. As a result, if other assumptions had been used, the Companys
recorded stock-based compensation expense could have been materially different from that depicted
above. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only
recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. If the Companys actual forfeiture rate is
materially different from the estimate, stock-based compensation expense could be materially
different.
20. Segments
Prior to first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of
the Board viewed the Companys business as having two principal operating segments, consisting of
optical subsystems and components, and network performance test systems. After the sale of the
assets of the Network Tools Division to JDSU in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company has
one reportable segment consisting of optical subsystems and components.
Optical subsystems consist primarily of transceivers sold to manufacturers of storage and
networking equipment for SANs and LANs and MAN applications. Optical subsystems also include
multiplexers, de-multiplexers and optical add/drop modules for use in MAN applications. Optical
components consist primarily of packaged lasers and photo-detectors which are incorporated in
transceivers, primarily for LAN and SAN applications.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company consolidated its Sunnyvale facilities
into one building and permanently exited a portion of its Scotts Valley facility. As a result of
these activities, the Company recorded restructuring charges of approximately $3.1 million. These
restructuring charges included $290,000 of miscellaneous costs required to effect the closures and
approximately $2.8 million of non-cancelable facility lease payments. Of the $3.1 million in
restructuring charges, $1.9 million related to the Companys optical subsystems and components
segment and $1.2 million related to discontinued operations. During the first quarter of fiscal
2009, the Company recorded additional restructuring charges of $600,000 for lease payments for the
remaining portion of the Scotts Valley facility that had been used for a product line of our
discontinued operations which was sold in first quarter of fiscal 2009. During the second quarter
of fiscal 2010, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $4.2 million for the non-cancelable

23. Pending Litigation
Stock Option Derivative Litigation
On November 30, 2006, the Company announced that it had undertaken a voluntary review of its
historical stock option grant practices subsequent to its initial public offering in November 1999.
The review was initiated by senior management, and preliminary results of the review were discussed
with the Audit Committee of the Companys board of directors. Based on the preliminary results of
the review, senior management concluded, and the Audit Committee agreed, that it was likely that
the measurement dates for certain stock option grants differed from the recorded grant dates for
such awards and that the Company would likely need to restate its historical financial statements
to record non-cash charges for compensation expense relating to some past stock option grants. The
Audit Committee thereafter conducted a further investigation and engaged independent legal counsel
and financial advisors to assist in that investigation. The Audit Committee concluded that
measurement dates for certain option grants differed from the recorded grant dates for such awards.
The Companys management, in conjunction with the Audit Committee, conducted a further review to
finalize revised measurement dates and determine the appropriate accounting adjustments to its
historical financial statements. The announcement of the investigation resulted in delays in filing
the Companys quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended October 29, 2006, January 28, 2007, and January 27, 2008, and the
Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007. On December 4, 2007,
the Company filed all four of these reports which included revised financial statements.

Table of Contents
Following the Companys announcement on November 30, 2006 that the Audit Committee of the
board of directors had voluntarily commenced an investigation of the Companys historical stock
option grant practices, the Company was named as a nominal defendant in several shareholder
derivative cases. These cases have been consolidated into two proceedings pending in federal and
state courts in California. The federal court cases have been consolidated in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of California. The state court cases have been
consolidated in the Superior Court of California for the County of Santa Clara. The plaintiffs in
all cases have alleged that certain of the Companys current or former officers and directors
caused the Company to grant stock options at less than fair market value, contrary to the Companys
public statements (including its financial statements), and that, as a result, those officers and
directors are liable to the Company. No specific amount of damages has been alleged, and by the
nature of the lawsuits, no damages will be alleged against the Company. On May 22, 2007, the state
court granted the Companys motion to stay the state court action pending resolution of the
consolidated federal court action. On June 12, 2007, the plaintiffs in the federal court case filed
an amended complaint to reflect the results of the stock option investigation announced by the
Audit Committee in June 2007. On August 28, 2007, the Company and the individual defendants filed
motions to dismiss the complaint. On January 11, 2008, the Court granted the motions to dismiss,
with leave to amend. On May 12, 2008, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The Company and
the individual defendants filed motions to dismiss the amended complaint on July 1, 2008. The
Court granted the motions to dismiss on September 22, 2009, and entered judgment in favor of the
defendants The plaintiffs have appealed the judgment to the United States Court of Appeal for the
Ninth Circuit.
505 Patent Litigation
DirecTV Litigation
On April 4, 2005, the Company filed an action for patent infringement in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against the DirecTV Group, Inc., DirecTV Holdings,
LLC, DirecTV Enterprises, LLC, DirecTV Operations, LLC, DirecTV, Inc., and Hughes Network Systems,
Inc. (collectively, DirecTV). The lawsuit involves the Companys U.S. Patent No. 5,404,505, or
the 505 patent, which relates to technology used in information transmission systems to provide
access to a large database of information. On June 23, 2006, following a jury trial, the jury
returned a verdict that the Companys patent had been willfully infringed and awarded the Company
damages of $78,920,250. In a post-trial hearing held on July 6, 2006, the Court determined that,
due to DirecTVs willful infringement, those damages would be enhanced by an additional $25
million. Further, the Court awarded the Company pre-judgment interest on the jurys verdict and
court costs in the aggregate amount of approximately $13.5 million. The Court denied the Companys
motion for injunctive relief, but ordered DirecTV to pay a compulsory ongoing license fee to the
Company at the rate of $1.60 per set-top box activated by or on behalf of DirecTV for the period
beginning June 16, 2006 through the duration of the patent, which expires in April 2012.
DirecTV appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. In its appeal,
DirecTV raised issues related to claim construction, infringement, invalidity, willful infringement
and enhanced damages. The Company cross-appealed raising issues related to the denial of the
Companys motion for a permanent injunction, the trial courts refusal to enhance future damages
for willfulness and the trial courts determination that some of the asserted patent claims are
invalid. The appeals were consolidated.
On April 18, 2008, the appeals court issued its decision affirming in part, reversing in part,
and remanding the case for further proceedings before the trial court in Texas. Specifically, the
appeals court ruled that the lower courts interpretation of some of the patent claim terms was too
broad and issued its own, narrower interpretation of those terms. The appeals court also determined
that one of the seven patent claims (Claim 16)
40
Table of Contents
found infringed by the jury was invalid, that
DirecTVs infringement of the 505 patent was not willful, and that the trial court did not err in
its determination that various claims of the 505 patent were invalid for indefiniteness. As a
result, the judgment, including the compulsory license, was vacated and the case was remanded to
the trial court to reconsider infringement and validity of the six remaining patent claims and
releasing to DirecTV the escrow funds it had deposited.
On July 11, 2008, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California
issued an order in the Comcast lawsuit described below in which it held that one of the claims of
the 505 patent, Claim 25, is invalid. The order in the Comcast lawsuit also, in effect, ruled
invalid a related claim, Claim 24, which is one of the six remaining claims of the 505 patent that
were returned to the trial court for retrial in the DirectTV lawsuit.
On December 1, 2008, both parties filed motions for summary judgment on the issue of validity
in the trial court. On May 19, 2009, the Court granted DirecTVs motions for summary judgment and
entered final judgment in the case in favor of DirecTV. The Company is appealing this ruling.
EchoStar Litigation
On July 10, 2006, EchoStar Satellite LLC, EchoStar Technologies Corporation and NagraStar LLC
(collectively, EchoStar), filed an action against the Company in the United States District Court
for the District of Delaware seeking a declaration that EchoStar does not infringe, and has not
infringed, any valid claim of the Companys 505 patent. The 505 patent is the same patent that is
in dispute in the DirecTV lawsuit. On December 4, 2007, the Court approved the parties stipulation
to stay the case pending issuance of the Federal Circuits mandate in the DirecTV case. This stay
expired when the mandate of the Federal Circuit issued in the DirecTV case on April 18, 2008. On
August 11, 2009, the Court administratively dismissed the case in light of the grant of summary
judgment in favor of DirecTV in the DirecTV litigation.
Requests for Re-Examination of the 505 Patent
Four requests for re-examination of the Companys 505 patent have been filed with the U. S.
Patent and Trademark Office. The 505 patent is the patent that is in dispute combined in the
DirecTV and EchoStar lawsuits. The PTO granted each of these requests and these proceedings into a
single re-examination. On October 9, 2009, the PTO issued a final office action invalidating all
other claims in the 505 patent. The Company is appealing this final office action.
Securities Class Action
A securities class action lawsuit was filed on November 30, 2001 in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York, purportedly on behalf of all persons who purchased the
Companys common stock from November 17, 1999 through December 6, 2000. The complaint named as
defendants the Company, Jerry S. Rawls, its President and Chief Executive Officer, Frank H.
Levinson, its former Chairman of the Board and Chief Technical Officer, Stephen K. Workman, its
Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and an investment banking firm that served as an
underwriter for the Companys initial public offering in November 1999 and a secondary offering in
April 2000. The complaint, as subsequently amended, alleges violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 20(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, on the grounds that the prospectuses incorporated in the registration statements for the
offerings failed to disclose, among other things, that (i) the underwriter had solicited and
received excessive and undisclosed commissions from certain investors in exchange for which the
underwriter allocated to those investors material portions of the shares of the Companys stock
sold in the offerings and (ii) the underwriter had entered into
41
Table of Contents
agreements with customers whereby
the underwriter agreed to allocate shares of the Companys stock sold in the offerings to those
customers in exchange for which the customers agreed to purchase additional shares of the Companys
stock in the aftermarket at pre-determined prices. No specific damages are claimed. Similar
allegations have been made in lawsuits relating to more than 300 other initial public offerings
conducted in 1999 and 2000, which were consolidated for pretrial purposes. In October 2002, all
claims against the individual defendants were dismissed without prejudice. On February 19, 2003,
the Court denied defendants motion to dismiss the complaint.
In February 2009, the parties reached an understanding regarding the principal elements of a
settlement, subject to formal documentation and Court approval. On October 2, 2009, the Court
granted approval of the settlement. Under the settlement, the underwriter defendants will pay a
total of $486 million, and the issuer defendants and their insurers will pay a total of $100
million to settle all of the cases. The order approving the settlement has been appealed by certain
individual class members. On August 25, 2009, the Company funded approximately $327,000 with
respect to its pro rata share of the issuers contribution to the settlement and certain costs.
This amount was accrued in the financial statements during the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
Section 16(b) Lawsuit
A lawsuit was filed on October 3, 2007 in the United States District Court for the Western
District of Washington by Vanessa Simmonds, a purported holder of the Companys common stock
against two investment banking firms that served as underwriters for the initial public offering of
the Companys common stock in November 1999. None of the Companys officers, directors or employees
were named as defendants in the complaint. On February 28, 2008, the plaintiff filed an amended
complaint. The complaint, as amended, alleges that: (i) the defendants, other underwriters of the
offering, and unspecified officers, directors and the Companys principal shareholders constituted
a group that owned in excess of 10% of the Companys outstanding common stock between November
11, 1999 and November 20, 2000; (ii) the defendants were therefore subject to the short swing
prohibitions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and (iii) the defendants
engaged in purchases and sales, or sales and purchases, of the Companys common stock within
periods of less than six months in violation of the provisions of Section 16(b). The complaint
seeks disgorgement of all profits allegedly received by the defendants, with interest and attorneys
fees, for transactions in violation of Section 16(b). The Company, as the statutory beneficiary of
any potential Section 16(b) recovery, is named as a nominal defendant in the complaint.
This case is one of 54 lawsuits containing similar allegations relating to initial public
offerings of technology company issuers, which were coordinated (but not consolidated) by the
Court. On July 25, 2008, the real defendants in all 54 cases filed a consolidated motion to
dismiss, and a majority of the nominal defendants (including the Company) filed a consolidated
motion to dismiss, the amended complaints. On March 19, 2009, the Court dismissed the amended
complaints naming the nominal defendants that had moved to dismiss, without prejudice, because the
plaintiff had not properly demanded action by their respective boards of directors before filing
suit; and dismissed the amended complaints naming nominal defendants that had not moved to dismiss,
with prejudice, finding the claims time-barred by the applicable statute of limitation. Also on
March 19, 2009, the Court entered judgment against the plaintiff in all 54 cases. The plaintiff has
appealed the order and judgments. The real defendants have cross-appealed the dismissal of certain
amended complaints without prejudice, contending that dismissal should have been with prejudice
because those amended complaints are barred by the applicable statute of limitation.

JDSU/Emcore Patent Litigation
On September 11, 2006, JDS Uniphase Corporation (JDSU) and Emcore Corporation filed a
complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania alleging
that certain cable television transmission products acquired in connection with the Companys
acquisition of Optium Corporation, specifically the Companys 1550 nm HFC externally modulated
transmitter, in addition to possibly products as yet unidentified, infringe on two U.S. patents,
referred to as the 003 and 071 Patents. On March 14, 2007, JDSU and Emcore filed a second
complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania alleging
that the Companys 1550 nm HFC quadrature amplitude modulated transmitter used in cable television
applications, in addition to possibly products as yet unidentified, infringes on another U.S.
patent, referred to as the 374 Patent. On December 10, 2007, the Company filed a complaint in
the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania seeking a declaration
that the patents asserted against the Companys HFC externally modulated transmitter are
unenforceable due to inequitable conduct committed by the patent applicants and/or the attorneys or
agents during prosecution. On February 18, 2009, the Court granted JDSUs and Emcores motion for
summary judgment dismissing the Companys declaratory judgment action on inequitable conduct. The
Company has appealed this ruling.
A trial with respect to the remaining two actions was held in October 2009. On November 1,
2009, the jury delivered its verdict that the Company had infringed the 003 and the 071 Patents
as well as the 374 Patent. In addition, the jury found that the Companys infringement of the
003 and the 071 Patents was willful. The jury determined that, with respect to the 003 and the
071 Patents, Emcore was entitled to $974,364 in damages and JDSU was entitled to $622,440 in
damages, and, with respect to the 374 Patent, Emcore was entitled to $1,800,000 in damages. The
Court has not yet ruled on the amount, if any, by which the damages award with respect to the 003
and 071 Patents should be enhanced as a result of the jurys determination that the Companys
infringement of the 003 and the 071 Patents was willful. In addition, the plaintiffs have
requested that the Court issue a permanent injunction against further manufacture or sale of the
products found to have infringed the patents-in-suit. The Company has filed motions for a new
trial and, alternatively, the vacating of the jurys verdict. The Court has not yet ruled on these
motions.
Based on the Companys review of the record in this case, including discussion with
and analysis by counsel of the bases for the Companys appeal, the Company has determined that it
has a number of strong arguments available on appeal and, although there can be no assurance as to
the ultimate outcome, the Company is confident that the judgment against it will ultimately be
reversed, or remanded for a new trial in which the Company believes it would prevail. As a result,
the Company concluded that it is not probable that Emcore and JDSU will ultimately prevail in this
matter; therefore, the Company has not recorded any liability for this judgment.
Export Compliance
During mid-2007, Optium became aware that certain of its analog RF over fiber products may,
depending on end use and customization, be subject to the International Traffic in Arms
Regulations, or ITAR. Accordingly, Optium filed a detailed voluntary disclosure with the United
States Department of State describing the details of possible inadvertent ITAR violations with
respect to the export of a limited number of certain prototype products, as well as related
technical data and defense services. Optium may have also made unauthorized transfers of
ITAR-restricted technical data and defense services to foreign persons in the workplace. Additional
information has been provided upon request to the Department of State with respect to this matter.
In late 2008, a grand jury subpoena from the office of the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District
of Pennsylvania was received requesting documents from 2005 through the present referring to, relating to or involving the
subject matter of the above referenced voluntary disclosure and export activities.
43
Table of Contents
While the Department of State encourages voluntary disclosures and generally affords parties
mitigating credit under such circumstances, the Company nevertheless could be subject to continued
investigation and potential regulatory consequences ranging from a no-action letter, government
oversight of facilities and export transactions, monetary penalties, and in extreme cases,
debarment from government contracting, denial of export privileges and criminal sanctions, any of
which would adversely affect the Companys results of operations and cash flow. The Department of
State and U.S. Attorney inquiries may require the Company to expend significant management time and
incur significant legal and other expenses. The Company cannot predict how long it will take or how
much more time and resources it will have to expend to resolve these government inquiries, nor can
it predict the outcome of these inquiries.
Other Litigation
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to litigation, claims and
assessments in addition to those described above. Based on information currently available,
management does not believe the impact of these other matters will have a material adverse effect
on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
24. Guarantees and Indemnifications
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (FIN 45).
FIN 45 requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must recognize a liability for the
fair value of the obligations it assumes under that guarantee. As permitted under Delaware law and
in accordance with the Companys Bylaws, the Company indemnifies its officers and directors for
certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while the officer or director is or was
serving at the Companys request in such capacity. The term of the indemnification period is for
the officers or directors lifetime. The Company may terminate the indemnification agreements with
its officers and directors upon 90 days written notice, but termination will not affect claims for
indemnification relating to events occurring prior to the effective date of termination. The
maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited; however, the Company has a
director and officer insurance policy that may enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts
paid.
The Company enters into indemnification obligations under its agreements with other companies
in its ordinary course of business, including agreements with customers, business partners, and
insurers. Under these provisions the Company generally indemnifies and holds harmless the
indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party as a result of the
Companys activities or the use of the Companys products. These indemnification provisions
generally survive termination of the underlying agreement. In some cases, the maximum potential
amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification
provisions is unlimited. The Company believes the fair value of these indemnification agreements is
not material. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any liabilities for these agreements as of
August 1, 2009. To date, the Company has not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle
claims related to these indemnification agreements and payments under the loans are expected to be
paid when due.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Companys Malaysian subsidiary entered into loan
agreements with a Malaysian bank (See Note 13. Long-term Debt) for which the Company has provided
corporate guarantees. The Company guaranteed loan payments of up to $23.1 million in the event of
non-payment by its Malaysian subsidiary. These guarantees are effective during the term of these loans. The
principal balance of this loan outstanding as of November 1, 2009, was $15.8 million.

25. Related Party Transactions
Frank H. Levinson, the Companys former Chairman of the Board and Chief Technical Officer and
a member of the Companys board of directors until August 29, 2008, is a member of the board of
directors of Fabrinet, Inc., a privately held contract manufacturer. In June 2000, the Company
entered into a volume supply agreement, at rates which the Company believes to be market, with
Fabrinet under which Fabrinet serves as a contract manufacturer for the Company. In addition,
Fabrinet purchases certain products from the Company. The Company recorded purchases of $28.5
million from Fabrinet during the four months period ending August 29, 2008 and Fabrinet purchased
products from the Company totaling to $16.2 million during the same period.
During the three months and six months ended November 1, 2009, the Company paid a sales and
marketing consultant, who is the brother of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, $38,579 and
$75,279 in cash compensation, respectively.
Amounts paid to related parties represented values considered by management to be fair and
reasonable, reflective of an arms length transaction.
26. Subsequent Events
Repurchase of Senior Subordinated Notes
On November 16, 2009, the Company repurchased $5.0 million principal amount of its 2 1/2%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010 in a privately negotiated transaction. For each $1,000 principal
amount of the notes, the Company paid $977.5 in cash, for a total purchase price of $4.9 million
plus accrued interest of $11,000.
On November 16, 2009, the Company repurchased $500,000 principal amount of its 2 1/2%
Subordinated Notes due 2010 in a privately negotiated transaction. For each $1,000 principal amount
of the notes, the Company paid $977.5 in cash, for a total purchase price of $488,750 plus accrued
interest of $1,000.
After the repurchase of the convertible notes discussed above, approximately $29.6 million
aggregate principal amount of 2 1/2% notes due 2010 remained outstanding.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Our actual results could differ substantially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those referred to in Part II,
Item 1A. Risk Factors below. The following discussion should be read together with our
consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
Business Overview
We
are a leading provider of optical subsystems and components that are used
to interconnect equipment in short-distance
local area networks, or LANs, and storage area networks, or SANs, and longer distance metropolitan
area networks, or MANs and wide area networks, or WANs. Our optical subsystems consist primarily of
transmitters, receivers, transceivers and transponders which provide the fundamental
optical-electrical interface for connecting the equipment various types of equipment used in building
these networks, including switches, routers and file servers used in
wireline networks as well as antennas and base stations for wireless
networks. These
products rely on the use of semiconductor lasers and photodetectors in conjunction with integrated
circuit design and novel packaging technology to provide a cost-effective means for transmitting
and receiving digital signals over fiber optic cable at speeds ranging from less than 1Gbps to
40Gbps, using a wide range of network protocols and physical configurations over distances of 70
meters to 200 kilometers. We supply optical transceivers and transponders that allow point-to-point
communications on a fiber using a single specified wavelength or, bundled with multiplexing
technologies, can be used to supply multi-gigabit bandwidth over several wavelengths on the same
fiber. We also provide products for dynamically switching network traffic from one optical
wavelength to another across multiple wavelengths known as reconfigurable optical add/drop
multiplexers, or ROADMs. Our line of optical components consists primarily of packaged lasers and
photodetectors used in transceivers for LAN and SAN applications and passive optical components
used in building MANs. Demand for the Companys
products is largely driven by the continually growing need for
additional bandwidth created by the ongoing proliferation of data and
video traffic that must be handled by both wireline and wireless
networks. Our manufacturing operations are vertically integrated and we utilize
internal sources for many of the key components used in making our products including lasers,
photodetectors and integrated circuits, or ICs, designed by our own internal IC engineering teams.
We also have internal assembly and test capabilities that make use of internally designed equipment
for the automated testing of our optical subsystems and components.
We sell our optical products to manufacturers of storage systems, networking equipment and
telecommunication equipment or their contract manufacturers, such as Alcatel-Lucent, Brocade, Cisco
Systems, EMC, Emulex, Ericsson, Hewlett-Packard Company, Huawei, IBM, Juniper, Qlogic, Siemens and
Tellabs. These customers, in turn, sell their systems to businesses and to wireline and wireless
telecommunications service providers and cable TV operators, collectively referred to as carriers.
Recent Developments
Combination with Optium Corporation
On August 29, 2008, we completed a business combination with Optium Corporation, a leading
designer and manufacturer of high performance optical subsystems for use in telecommunications and
cable TV network systems, through the merger of Optium with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Finisar.
We believe that the combination of the two companies created the worlds largest supplier of
optical components, modules and subsystems for the communications industry and will leverage
Finisars leadership position in the storage and data networking sectors of the industry and
Optiums leadership position in the telecommunications and CATV sectors to create a more
competitive industry participant. In addition, as a result of the combination, we expect
46
Table of Contents
to realize cost synergies related to operating expenses and manufacturing costs resulting from
(1) the transfer of production to lower cost locations, (2) improved purchasing power associated
with being a larger company and (3) cost synergies associated with the integration of internally
manufactured components into product designs in place of components previously purchased by Optium
in the open market. At the closing of the merger, we issued 20,101,082 shares of Finisar common
stock, valued at approximately $242.8 million, in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock
of Optium.
We have accounted for the combination using the purchase method of accounting and as a result
have included the operating results of Optium in our consolidated financial results since the
August 29, 2008 consummation date.
Sale of Network Tools Division
In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, we sold substantially all of the assets of our Network
Tools Division to JDSU for $40.6 million in cash. We recorded a net gain on sale of the business of
$36.1 million before income taxes, which is included in income from discontinued operations, net of
income tax, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. In accordance with FASB ASC
205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements, Discontinued Operations, the assets and liabilities,
results of operations related to the business, have been classified as discontinued operations in
the condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. In accordance with FASB
ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, we elected not to separately disclose the cash flows associated
with the discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flow.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions in the preparation of
our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. We believe there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting
policies as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2009 other
than the adoption of FASB ASC 470-20 (see Note 1 to condensed consolidated financial statements).

million in the quarter ended November 1, 2009 compared to $147.7 million in the quarter ended
November 2, 2008. The decrease was principally due to the general weakness in the global economy.
Revenues from continuing operations increased $10.9 million, or 4.1%, to $274.5 million in the
six months ended November 1, 2009 compared to $263.5 million in the six months ended November 2,
2008. The increase was due to the inclusion of revenues from Optiums operations offset by a
decline of $12.1 million in sales of pre-merger Finisar products. Revenues of $59.5 million from
Optium operations is included in our revenues for the six months ended November 1, 2009 compared to
Optium revenue for two months of $36.5 million included in the six months ended November 2, 2008
results. The decrease in revenue from sales of pre-merger Finisar products was due to the general
weakness in the global economy. While weakness in the general economy had a negative impact on
sales of some of our slower speed products, we experienced strong revenue growth in our higher
speed products.

Amortization of Acquired Developed Technology. Amortization of acquired developed
technology related to continuing operations, a component of cost of revenues, decreased $61,000, or
4.9%, to $1.2 million in the quarter ended November 1, 2009 compared to $1.3 million in the quarter
ended November 2, 2008 and increased $282,000, or 13.4%, to $2.4 million in the six months ended
November 1, 2009 compared to $2.1 million in the six months ended November 2, 2008. The decrease
for the quarter was primarily due to the full amortization during fiscal 2009 of certain assets
associated with our Honeywell and Kodeos acquisitions, partially offset by $605,000 of amortization
of Optium assets. The increase for the six month period was primarily due to six months of
amortization of the Optium assets in fiscal 2010 compared to three months in fiscal 2009.
Gross Profit. Gross profit from continuing operations decreased $162,000, or 0.4% , to $39.8
million in the quarter ended November 1, 2009 compared to $40.0 million in the quarter ended
November 2, 2008. The slight decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the $2.0 million
decrease in revenue. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 27.3% in the quarter ended
November 1, 2009 compared to 27.0% in the quarter ended November 2, 2008. We recorded charges of
$5.6 million for obsolete and excess inventory in the quarter ended November 1, 2009 compared to
$3.6 million in the quarter ended November 2, 2008. We sold inventory that was written-off in
previous periods resulting in a benefit of $4.4 million in the quarter ended November 1, 2009 and
$1.2 million in the quarter ended November 2, 2008. As a result, we recognized a net charge of $1.2
million in the quarter ended November 1, 2009 compared to $2.4 million in the quarter ended
November 2, 2008. Manufacturing overhead includes stock-based compensation charges of $1.3 million
in the quarter ended November 1, 2009 and $840,000 in the quarter ended November 2, 2008. Excluding
amortization of acquired developed technology, the net impact of excess and obsolete inventory
charges and stock-based compensation charges, gross profit would have been $43.5 million, or 29.8%
of revenues, in the quarter ended November 1, 2009 compared to $44.5 million, or 30.1% of revenues,
in the quarter ended November 2, 2008. The relatively flat gross margin reflects the unfavorable
impact of lower sales prices on some products, lower manufacturing yields and greater scrap charges in the current quarter offset by
lower component costs, manufacturing labor costs and overhead spending, despite the fact that manufacturing spending
in the prior year period reflected only a partial quarter of Optium operations following the
merger.
Gross profit from continuing operations decreased $11.6 million, or 14.3%, to $69.2 million in
the six months ended November 1, 2009 compared to $80.7 million in the six months ended November 2,
2008. The decrease in gross profit resulted from many factors including increased manufacturing
spending and lower

margins on certain products related to the Optium merger, price reduction on
certain of our slower speed products and lower yield rates on our new higher speed components and
modules. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue was 25.2% in the six months ended November
1, 2009 compared to 30.6% in the six months ended November 2, 2008. We recorded charges of $14.8
million for obsolete and excess inventory in the six months ended November 1, 2009 compared to $6.0
million in the six months ended November 2, 2008. We sold inventory that was written-off in
previous periods resulting in a benefit of $7.1 million in the six months ended November 1, 2009
and $2.9 million in the six months ended November 2, 2008. As a result, we recognized a net charge
of $7.7 million in the six months ended November 1, 2009 compared to $3.1 million in the six months
ended November 2, 2008. Manufacturing overhead includes stock-based compensation charges of $2.3
million in the six months ended November 1, 2009 and $1.7 million in the six months ended November
2, 2008. Excluding amortization of acquired developed technology, the net impact of excess and
obsolete inventory charges and stock-based compensation charges, gross profit would have been $81.6 million, or
29.7% of revenue, in the six months ended November 1, 2009 compared to $87.6 million, or 33.2% of
revenue in the six months ended November 2, 2008. The lower gross margin primarily reflects the
unfavorable impact of lower sales prices on some products, lower manufacturing yields and greater scrap charges in the current quarter
in addition to the impact of the sales of lower margin Optium products for the full six months as
compared to only two months in the prior year period.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses of continuing operations
decreased $199,000, or 0.9%, to $21.6 million in the quarter ended November 1, 2009 compared to
$21.8 million in the quarter ended November 2, 2008. Included in research and development expenses
were stock-based compensation charges of $1.5 million in the quarter ended November 1, 2009 and in
the quarter ended November 1, 2008. Research and development expenses as a percent of revenues
increased slightly to 14.8% in the quarter ended November 1, 2009 compared to 14.7% in the quarter
ended November 1, 2008.
Research and development expenses of continuing operations increased $3.4 million, or 8.8%, to
$42.6 million in the six months ended November 1, 2009 compared to $39.2 million in the six months
ended November 1, 2008. The increase was primarily due to the additional four months of expenses
from Optium operations following the merger which are included in the 2009 balances. Included in
research and development expenses were stock-based compensation charges of $3.0 million in the six
months ended November 1, 2009 and $2.4 million in the six months ended November 1, 2008. Research
and development expenses as a percent of revenues increased to 15.5% in the six months ended
November 1, 2009 compared to 14.9% in the six months ended November 2, 2008.
Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses of continuing operations decreased
$590,000, or 7.5%, to $7.3 million in the quarter ended November 1, 2009 compared to $7.9 million
in the quarter ended November 1, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to cost synergies realized as
a result of the Optium merger. Included in sales and marketing expenses were stock-based
compensation charges of $431,000 in the quarter ended November 1, 2009 and $440,000 in the quarter
ended November 1, 2008. Sales and marketing expenses as a percent of revenues decreased slightly to
5.0% in the quarter ended November 1, 2009 compared to 5.3% in the quarter ended November 2, 2008.
Sales and marketing expenses of continuing operations decreased $647,000, or 4.4%, to $14.1
million in the six months ended November 1, 2009 compared to $14.8 million in the six months ended
November 2, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to cost synergies realized as a result of the
Optium merger. Included in sales and marketing expenses were stock-based compensation charges of
$1.0 million in the six months ended November 1, 2009 and $767,000 in the six months ended November
2, 2008. Sales and marketing expenses as a percent of revenues decreased to 5.1% in the six months
ended November 1, 2009 compared to 5.6% in the six months ended November 2, 2008.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses of continuing
operations decreased $2.4 million, or 22.4%, to $8.2 million in the quarter ended November 1, 2009
compared to $10.5 million in the quarter ended November 2, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to
cost synergies realized as a result of the Optium merger, a decrease in legal fees due to reduced
litigation and IP related activities and recoveries of previously written off accounts receivable.
Included in general and administrative expenses were stock-based compensation charges of $726,000
in the quarter ended November 1, 2009 and $686,000 in the quarter ended November 2, 2008. Also
included in the quarter ended November 1, 2009 were non-recurring severance costs of $178,000.
General and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues decreased to 5.6% in the quarter ended
November 1, 2009 compared to 7.1% in the quarter ended November 28, 2008.
General and administrative expenses of continuing operations decreased $1.3 million, or 6.6%,
to $17.8 million in the six months ended November 1, 2009 compared to $19.0 million in the six
months ended November 2, 2008, although a full six months of
expenses related to the Optium operations were included in the later
period compared to two months in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to cost synergies realized as a
result of the Optium merger and a decrease in legal fees due to reduced litigation and IP related
activities. Included in general and administrative expenses were stock-based compensation charges
of $1.8 million in the six months ended November 1, 2009 and $1.2 million in the six months ended
November 2, 2008. Also included in the six months ended November 1, 2009 were non-recurring
severance costs of $187,000. General and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues decreased
to 6.5% in the six months ended November 1, 2009 compared to 7.2% in the six months ended November
2, 2008.
Acquired In-process Research and Development. In-process research and development, or IPR&D,
expenses were $10.5 million in the quarter and six month period ended November 2, 2008, compared to
$0 in the quarter and six month period ended November 1, 2009. The IPR&D charges were related to
the Optium merger.
Amortization of Purchased Intangibles. Amortization of purchased intangibles decreased
$96,000, or 15.6%, to $518,000 in the quarter ended November 1, 2009 compared to $614,000 in the
quarter ended November 2, 2008 and increased $476,000, or 64.1%, to $1.2 million in the six months
ended November 1, 2009 compared to $743,000 in the six months ended November 2, 2008. The decrease
for the quarter was due to the full amortization of certain trademarks related to the Optium
merger. The increase for the six month period was primarily due the amortization of additional
intangible assets acquired in the Optium merger. The amortization of these Optium assets for the
two months included in the quarter and six month periods ended November 2, 2008 was $485,000
compared to $962,000 in the six months ended November1, 2009.
Impairment of Goodwill. As a result of the financial liquidity crisis, the economic recession,
reductions in our internal revenue and operating forecasts and a substantial reduction in our
market capitalization, during the period ended November 2, 2008, we performed an analysis to
determine if there was an indication of impairment of our intangible assets. As a result of this
analysis, we determined that the goodwill related to our optical subsystems and components
reporting unit was impaired and had an implied fair value of $59.6 million compared to a carrying
value of $238.4 million. As a result, we recorded an estimated impairment charge of $178.8 million
during the quarter ended November 2, 2008. Following the completion of goodwill impairment
analyses, we recorded additional charges of $46.5 million in the quarter ended February 1, 2009 and
$13.2 million in the quarter ended April 30, 2009. As a result of these impairment charges, as of
April 30, 2009 the carrying value of our goodwill was zero.
Restructuring Costs. As a result of moving certain manufacturing activities from our facility
in Allen, Texas to our lower cost manufacturing facility in Ipoh, Malaysia, we have determined that
approximately 32% of the space in the Allen facility is no longer required for manufacturing. As a
result, we closed that portion of the facility in the quarter ended November 1, 2009 and are
actively searching for a tenant to sub-lease the vacated
space. As a result, we recorded a restructuring charge of $4.2 million in the quarter ended
November 1, 2009 which represents the present value of that portion of the lease payments we are obligated to
make over the remaining lease term.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased $648,000, or 98.6%, to $9,000 in the quarter ended
November 1, 2009 compared to $657,000 in the quarter ended November 2, 2008 and decreased $1.6
million, or 98.8%, to $19,000 in the six months ended November 1, 2009 compared to $1.6 million in
the six months ended November 2, 2008. These decreases were due primarily to a decrease in our cash
balance as a result of the principal repayment in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 of $92.0
million on our 5 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2008.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $1.9 million, or 47.3%, to $2.2 million in the
quarter ended November 1, 2009 compared to $4.1 million in the quarter ended November 2, 2008. The
decrease was primarily related to the principal repayment in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 of
$92.0 million on our 5 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2008. Included in interest expense
for the quarter ended November 1, 2009 is a non-cash charge of $1.1 million related to the
accounting for our senior convertible notes. Included in interest expense for the quarter ended
November 2, 2008 is a non-cash charge of $1.2 million related to the accounting for our senior
convertible notes and a non-cash charge of $671,000 to amortize the beneficial conversion feature
of the notes due in October 2008.
Interest expense decreased $4.8 million, or 50.8%, to $4.6 million in the six months ended
November 1, 2009 compared to $9.4 million in the six months ended November 2, 2008. The decrease
was primarily related to the principal repayment in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 of $92.0
million on our 5 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2008. Included in interest expense for the
six months ended November 1, 2009 is a non-cash charge of $2.3 million related to the accounting
for our senior convertible notes. Included in interest expense for the quarter ended November 2,
2008 is a non-cash charge of $2.5 million related to the accounting for our senior convertible
notes and a non-cash charge of $1.8 million to amortize the beneficial conversion feature of the
notes due in October 2008.
Loss on Repurchase/Purchase of Convertible Notes. On August 11, 2009,
we retired $33,100,000, or 66.2%, of the $50,000,000 aggregate outstanding principal amount of our 2 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2010 and $14,404,000, or
approximately 15.7%, of the $92,000,000 aggregate outstanding principal amount of our 2 1/2% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010 pursuant to exchange offers
which commenced on July 9, 2009. The consideration for the exchange consisted of (i) $525 in cash and (ii) 596 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal
amount of notes. We issued approximately 3.5 million shares of common stock and paid out approximately $24.9 million in cash to the former holders of notes in the exchange
offers. The total consideration paid in the exchange was approximately $4.7 million less than the par value of the notes retired. However, in accordance with the provisions
of ASC 470-20, this exchange was considered an induced conversion and the retirement of the notes was accounted for as if they had been converted according to their original
terms, with that value compared to the fair value of the consideration paid in the exchange offers. The original conversion price of the notes was $30.08 per share, accordingly,
although the trading price of our common stock was $5.04 at the time of the exchange, we recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $23.7 million in the quarter ended
November 1, 2009.

to a $2 million other-than-temporary write-down of a minority interest investment. Other expense in
the quarter and six month periods ended November 2, 2008 was primarily related to a $1.7 million
non-cash foreign exchange loss related to the re-measurement of a $19.8 million note re-payable in
U.S. dollars which is recorded on the books of our subsidiary in Malaysia whose functional currency
is the Malaysian ringgit and a $1.2 million other-than-temporary write-down of a minority
investment during the period.
Provision for Income Taxes. We recorded an income tax provision of $38,000 and an income tax
benefit of $7.7 million, respectively, for the quarters ended November 1, 2009 and November 2, 2008
and an income tax provision of $197,000 and an income tax benefit of $7.0 million, respectively,
for the six months ended November 1, 2009 and November 2, 2008. The income tax benefit for the
three months ended November 2, 2008 included a non-cash benefit of $8.4 million from the reversal
of the previously recorded deferred tax liabilities related to tax amortization of goodwill for
which no financial statement amortization had occurred. The income tax provision of $38,000 for the
three months ended November 1, 2009 included minimum state taxes, federal refundable credits and
foreign income taxes arising in certain foreign jurisdictions in which the Company conducts
business.
Discontinued Operations. As discussed above, on July 15, 2009, we completed the sale of
certain assets related to our Network Tools Division to JDSU. During the three months ended
November 1, 2009, we incurred net operating expenses of $67,000 for providing manufacturing
services to JDSU under a transition services agreement entered into at the time of the sale. These
expenses have been classified as results of discontinued operations. Income from discontinued
operations during the three months ended November 2, 2008 was $1.1 million. Income from
discontinued operations for the six months ended November 1, 2009 was $37.1 million, including a
gain on the sale of the business unit of $36.1 million compared to $990,000 in the quarter ended
November 2, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows From Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities in the six months ended November 1, 2009 totaled $5.6
million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $1.4 million in the six months
ended November 2, 2008. Cash used in operating activities in the six months ended November 1, 2009
was due to changes in working capital which
were primarily related to an increase in accounts receivable and inventories offset by an increase
in accounts payable. Accounts receivable increased by $14.1 million primarily due to the increase
in shipments and no sales of accounts receivable under our non-recourse accounts receivable
purchase agreement with Silicon Valley Bank during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to
$10 million sold in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Inventory increased by $3.7 million and
accounts payable increased by $6.5 million due to higher purchases to support increased sales. Net
cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended November 2, 2008 primarily consisted
of changes in working capital which were primarily
related to increases in inventory, accounts receivable and deferred income taxes.
Cash Flows From Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $31.3 million in the six months ended
November 1, 2009 compared to $45.3 million in the six months ended November 2, 2008. Net cash
provided by investing activities in the six months ended November 1, 2009 was primarily due to the
$40.7 cash received from sale of the assets of our Network Tools Division to JDSU on July 15, 2009.
We also received $1.2 million in cash in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 from the sale a
promissory note and all of the preferred stock that we received as consideration for the sale of a
product line in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. These receipts were partially offset by $10.7
million of expenditures for capital equipment. Net cash provided by investing activities in the
six months ended November 2, 2008 was primarily related to the net maturities of available-for-sale
investments of $30.7 million and acquisition of net assets of Optium of $30.1 million as a result
of a business combination offset by $15.5 million purchases of equipment to support production
expansion.
Cash Flows From Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $17.9 million in the six months ended
November 1, 2009 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $82.0 million in the six
months ended November 2, 2008. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended
November 1, 2009 primarily consisted of $98.1 million in proceeds from the issuance of our 5.0%
Convertible Senior Notes, partially offset by $82.6 million of cash used to settle existing
convertible notes. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended November 2, 2008
primarily reflected proceeds of $20.0 million from bank borrowings and proceeds from the exercise
of stock options and purchases under our stock purchase plan totaling $3.4 million, offset by
repayments of $92 million on our outstanding 5 1/4% convertible subordinated notes on October 15,
2008 and repayment on borrowings of $13.4 million.

At November 1, 2009, total long-term debt and principal amount due under the convertible debt
was $153.5 million, compared to $163.4 million at April 30, 2009.
Long-term debt consists of a note payable to a financial institution under which we borrowed
$9.9 million in December 2005. At November 1, 2009, the remaining principal balance outstanding
under this note was $2.6 million. This note is payable in 60 equal monthly installments beginning
in January 2006 and is secured by certain property and equipment. On November 25, 2009, we repaid
the remaining balance of this loan. Long-term debt also includes borrowings made by our Malaysian
subsidiary under two separate loan agreements entered into by it with a Malaysian bank in July
2008. The first loan is payable in 20 equal quarterly installments of $750,000 beginning in January
2009 and the second loan is payable in 20 equal quarterly installments of $250,000 beginning in
October 2008. Both loans are secured by certain property of our Malaysian subsidiary, guaranteed by
us and subject to certain covenants. We and our subsidiary were in compliance with all covenants
associated with these loans as of November 1, 2009. At November 1, 2009, the principal balance
outstanding under these loans was $15.8 million.
Convertible debt consists of a series of convertible subordinated notes in the aggregate
principal amount of $4.4 million due October 15, 2010, a series of convertible senior subordinated
notes in the aggregate principal amount of $30.7 million due October 15, 2010 and a series of
convertible senior notes in the aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million due October 15, 2029.
The notes are convertible by the holders at any time prior to
maturity into shares of Finisar common stock at specified conversion prices. The notes are
redeemable by us, in whole or in part. Aggregate annual interest payments on all the series of
notes are approximately $5.9 million.

Table of Contents
On November 16, 2009, the Company repurchased $5.0 million principal amount of its senior
subordinated notes in a privately negotiated transaction for a total purchase price of $4.9 million
plus accrued interest of $11,000. On November 16, 2009, the Company repurchased $500,000 principal
amount of its subordinated notes in a privately negotiated transaction for a total purchase price
of $488,750 plus accrued interest of $1,000. After the repurchase of the Convertible Notes
discussed above, approximately $129.6 million aggregate principal amount of notes remained
outstanding.
Interest on debt consists of the scheduled interest payments on our short-term, long-term, and
convertible debt.
Operating lease obligations consist primarily of base rents for facilities we occupy at
various locations.
Purchase obligations consist of standby repurchase obligations and are related to materials
purchased and held by subcontractors on our behalf to fulfill the subcontractors purchase order
obligations at their facilities. Our repurchase obligations of $596,000 have been expensed and
recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as non-cancelable purchase obligations as of
November 1, 2009.
Sources
of Liquidity and Capital Resource Requirements
At November 1, 2009, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $80.7 million of cash,
cash equivalents and available-for-sale investments and an aggregate of $70 million available
under our credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank subject to certain restrictions and limitations.
On October 2, 2009, we entered into an agreement with Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC to establish a
new four-year $70 million senior secured revolving credit facility to finance working capital and
to refinance existing indebtedness, including the repurchase or repayment of our remaining
outstanding convertible notes. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at rates based on
the prime rate and LIBOR plus variable margins, under which applicable interest rates currently
range from 5.75% to 6.25% per annum. Borrowings will be guaranteed by our U.S. subsidiaries and
secured by substantially all of the assets of Finisar and its U.S. subsidiaries. The credit
facility matures four years following the date of the agreement, subject to certain conditions.
On October 23, 2009, we terminated agreements with Silicon Valley Bank under which various
credit facilities had been available to us. As of November 1, 2009, $3.4 million of letters of
credit issued by Silicon Valley Bank remained outstanding as we were in the process of obtaining
new letters of credit through Wells Fargo Bank. Following the termination of the agreement, we
secured the outstanding letters of credit with restricted certificates of deposit of $3.4 million.
We believe that our existing balances of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments,
together with the cash expected to be generated from future operations and borrowings under our
bank credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our cash needs for working capital and capital
expenditures for at least the next 12 months. We may, however, require additional financing to fund
our operations in the future or to repay or otherwise retire all of our outstanding convertible
debt in the aggregate principal amount of $129.6 million, of which $29.6 matures in October 2010
and the remaining $100 million is subject to redemption by the holders in October 2014, 2016, 2019
and 2024. A significant contraction in the capital markets, particularly in the technology sector,
may make it difficult for us to raise additional capital if and when it is required, especially if
we experience disappointing operating results. If adequate capital is not available to us as
required, or is not
available on favorable terms, our business, financial condition and results of operations will
be adversely affected.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements
At November 1, 2009 and April 30, 2009, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or
relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often
referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which are typically established for
the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited
purposes.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment
portfolio. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while
maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. We place our investments with high credit
issuers in short-term securities with maturities ranging from overnight up to 36 months or have
characteristics of such short-term investments. The average maturity of the portfolio will not
exceed 18 months. The portfolio includes only marketable securities with active secondary or resale
markets to ensure portfolio liquidity. We have no investments denominated in foreign country
currencies and therefore our investments are not subject to foreign exchange risk.
We invest in equity instruments of privately held companies for business and strategic
purposes. These investments are included in other long-term assets and are accounted for under the
cost method when our ownership interest is less than 20% and we do not have the ability to exercise
significant influence. For entities in which we hold greater than a 20% ownership interest, or
where we have the ability to exercise significant influence, we use the equity method. For these
non-quoted investments, our policy is to regularly review the assumptions underlying the operating
performance and cash flow forecasts in assessing the carrying values. We identify and record
impairment losses when events and circumstances indicate that such assets are impaired. If our
investment in a privately-held company becomes marketable equity securities upon the companys
completion of an initial public offering or its acquisition by another company, our investment
would be subject to significant fluctuations in fair market value due to the volatility of the
stock market.
There has been no material change in our interest rate exposure since April 30, 2009.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chairman,
our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, our Chairman, our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Cycle counting of parts in inventory is an important financial control process that is
conducted at all of our primary manufacturing facilities throughout the fiscal year. During the
quarter ended February 1, 2009, the
cycle counting process at our Ipoh, Malaysia manufacturing facility was discontinued as a
result of
57
Table of Contents
discrepancies noted between the actual physical location of a number of parts compared to
their location as indicated by our management information systems. Because of the failure of this
control, we augmented our inventory procedures shortly after the end of the quarter to include
physical inventory counts covering a substantial portion of the inventory held at this site in
order to verify quantities on hand at each period end. We evaluated the cause of discrepancies in
the cycle counting process at the Ipoh facility, made appropriate operational and system changes
and restarted the cycle count process for finished goods during the quarter ended April 30, 2009.
Additional improvements to our inventory systems and controls at our Ipoh facility and our other
facilities were made during the six months ended November 1, 2009. We will continue to augment the
process with additional physical inventory counts as warranted until the cycle count process is
fully operational once again. Other than these changes in inventory procedures, there were no
changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended November 1, 2009
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Reference is made to Part I, Item I, Financial Statements Note 23. Pending Litigation for
a description of pending legal proceedings, including material developments in certain of those
proceedings during the quarter ended November 1, 2009.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
OUR FUTURE PERFORMANCE IS SUBJECT TO A VARIETY OF RISKS, INCLUDING THOSE DESCRIBED BELOW.
IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS ACTUALLY OCCUR, OUR BUSINESS COULD BE HARMED AND THE TRADING PRICE OF
OUR COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE. YOU SHOULD ALSO REFER TO THE OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS
REPORT, INCLUDING OUR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE RELATED NOTES.
During the six months ended November 1, 2009, we (i) completed the exchange of $47.5
million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding convertible subordinated notes for $24.9
million in cash and approximately 3.5 million shares of our common stock, (ii) repurchased an
additional $59.4 million aggregate principal amount of the notes for cash, (iii) sold $100 million
aggregate principal amount of a new series of 5.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 and (iv)
established a new four-year $70 million senior revolving credit facility. As a result of these
transactions, we substantially reduced the principal amount of our outstanding notes maturing in
October 2010 and substantially improved our liquidity. Accordingly, we have eliminated from the
following discussion the risk factor entitled We may have insufficient cash flow to meet our debt
service obligations, including payments due on our subordinated convertible notes which was
included in Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2009 (the
2009 10-K) and have modified other risk factors relating to our potential need for additional
capital. We also added a risk factor entitled Our liability to use certain net operating loss
carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards may be limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue
Code. Except for these changes, the risk factors described below do not include any material
changes from those disclosed in the 2009 10-K.
Our quarterly revenues and operating results fluctuate due to a variety of factors, which
may result in volatility or a decline in the price of our stock.
Our quarterly operating results have varied significantly due to a number of factors,
including:
| fluctuation in demand for our products; |
58
Table of Contents
| the timing of new product introductions or enhancements by us and our competitors; | ||
| the level of market acceptance of new and enhanced versions of our products; | ||
| the timing or cancellation of large customer orders; | ||
| the length and variability of the sales cycle for our products; | ||
| pricing policy changes by us and our competitors and suppliers; | ||
| the availability of development funding and the timing of development revenue; | ||
| changes in the mix of products sold; | ||
| increased competition in product lines, and competitive pricing pressures; and | ||
| the evolving and unpredictable nature of the markets for products incorporating our optical components and subsystems. | ||
We expect that our operating results will continue to fluctuate in the future as a result of these factors and a variety of other factors, including: |
| fluctuations in manufacturing yields; | ||
| the emergence of new industry standards; | ||
| failure to anticipate changing customer product requirements; | ||
| the loss or gain of important customers; | ||
| product obsolescence; and | ||
| the amount of research and development expenses associated with new product introductions. | ||
Our operating results could also be harmed by: | |||
| the continuation or worsening of the current global economic slowdown or economic conditions in various geographic areas where we or our customers do business; | ||
| acts of terrorism and international conflicts or crises; | ||
| other conditions affecting the timing of customer orders; or | ||
| a downturn in the markets for our customers products, particularly the data storage and networking and telecommunications components markets. |
59
Table of Contents
We may experience a delay in generating or recognizing revenues for a number of
reasons.
Orders at the beginning of each quarter typically represent a small percentage of
expected
revenues for that quarter and are generally cancelable with minimal notice.
Accordingly, we depend on obtaining orders during each quarter for shipment in that
quarter to achieve our revenue objectives. Failure to ship these products by the end
of a quarter may adversely affect our operating results. Furthermore, our customer
agreements typically provide that the customer may delay scheduled delivery dates and
cancel orders within specified timeframes without significant penalty. Because we base
our operating expenses on anticipated revenue trends and a high percentage of our
expenses are fixed in the short term, any delay in generating or recognizing
forecasted revenues could significantly harm our business. It is likely that in some
future quarters our operating results will again decrease from the previous quarter or
fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In this event, it is
likely that the trading price of our common stock would significantly decline.
As a result of these factors, our operating results may vary significantly from
quarter to quarter. Accordingly, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our
results of operations are not meaningful and should not be relied upon as indications
of future performance. Any shortfall in revenues or net income from levels expected by
the investment community could cause a decline in the trading price of our stock.
We may lose sales if our suppliers or independent contractors fail to meet our needs
or go out of business.
We currently purchase a number of key components used in the manufacture of our
products from single or limited sources, and we rely on several independent contract
manufacturers to supply us with certain key subassemblies, including lasers,
modulators, and printed circuit boards. We depend on these sources to meet our
production needs. Moreover, we depend on the quality of the components and
subassemblies that they supply to us, over which we have limited control. Several of
our suppliers are or may become financially unstable as the result of current global
market conditions. In addition, we have encountered shortages and delays in obtaining
components in the past and expect to encounter additional shortages and delays in the
future. Recently, many of our suppliers have extended lead times for many of their
products as the result of significantly reducing capacity in light of the global
slowdown in demand. This reduction in capacity has reduced the ability of many
suppliers to respond to increases in demand. If we cannot supply products due to a
lack of components, or are unable to redesign products with other components in a
timely manner, our business will be significantly harmed. We generally have no
long-term contracts with any of our component suppliers or contract manufacturers. As
a result, a supplier or contract manufacturer can discontinue supplying components or
subassemblies to us without penalty. If a supplier were to discontinue supplying a key
component or cease operations, our business may be harmed by the resulting product
manufacturing and delivery delays. We are also subject to potential delays in the
development by our suppliers of key components which may affect our ability to
introduce new products. Similarly, disruptions in the services provided by our
contract manufacturers or the transition to other suppliers of these services could
lead to supply chain problems or delays in the delivery of our products. These
problems or delays could damage our relationships with our customers and adversely
affect our business.
We use rolling forecasts based on anticipated product orders to determine our
component and subassembly requirements. Lead times for materials and components that
we order vary significantly and depend on factors such as specific supplier
requirements, contract terms and
current market demand for particular components. If we overestimate our component
60
Table of Contents
requirements, we may have excess inventory, which would increase our costs.
If we underestimate our component requirements, we may have inadequate inventory,
which could interrupt our manufacturing and delay delivery of our products to our
customers. Any of these occurrences could significantly harm our business.
If we are unable to realize anticipated cost savings from the transfer of certain
manufacturing operations to our overseas locations and increased use of
internally-manufactured components our results of operations could be harmed.
As part of our cost of goods sold cost reduction initiatives planned for the next
several quarters, we expect to realize significant cost savings through (i) the
transfer of certain product manufacturing operations to lower cost off-shore locations
and (ii) product engineering changes to enable the broader use of
internally-manufactured components. The transfer of production to overseas locations
may be more difficult and costly than we currently anticipate which could result in
increased transfer costs and time delays. Further, following transfer, we may
experience lower manufacturing yields than those historically achieved in our U.S.
manufacturing locations. In addition, the engineering changes required for the use of
internally-manufactured components may be more technically-challenging than we
anticipate and customer acceptance of such changes could be delayed. If we fail to
achieve the planned product manufacturing transfer and increase in
internally-manufactured component use within our currently anticipated time frame, or
if our manufacturing yields decrease as a result, our actual cost savings will be less
than anticipated and our results of operations could be harmed.
We may not be able to obtain additional capital in the future, and failure to do so
may harm our business.
We believe that our existing balances of cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments, together with the cash expected to be generated from future operations
and borrowings under our bank credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our cash
needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. We
may, however, require additional financing to fund our operations in the future or to
repay or otherwise retire all of our outstanding convertible debt in the aggregate
principal amount of $129.6 million, of which $29.6 matures in October 2010 and the
remaining $100 million is subject to redemption by the holders in October 2014, 2016,
2019 and 2024. Due to the unpredictable nature of the capital markets, particularly in
the technology sector, we cannot assure you that we will be able to raise additional
capital if and when it is required, especially if we experience disappointing
operating results. If adequate capital is not available to us as required, or is not
available on favorable terms, we could be required to significantly reduce or
restructure our business operations. If we do raise additional funds through the
issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our
stockholders could be significantly diluted, and these newly-issued securities may
have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders.
We expect that our revenues and profitability will be adversely affected following our
recently completed sale of our network performance test systems business.
On July 15, 2009, we completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of our
Network Tools Division (excluding accounts receivable and payable) to JDSU for $40.6
million in cash. As a result of this transaction, we no longer offer network
performance test products. These products accounted for $37.3 million, $38.6 million
and $44.2 million in revenues during fiscal
61
Table of Contents
2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively. Gross profit and operating profit margins on
sales of network performance test products were generally higher than on our optical
subsystem and component products. Accordingly, we expect that our revenues and
profitability will continue to be lower than historical levels as a result of the sale
unless and until we are able to achieve significant growth in our optical subsystems
and components business.
Failure to accurately forecast our revenues could result in additional charges for
obsolete or excess inventories or non-cancellable purchase commitments.
We base many of our operating decisions, and enter into purchase commitments, on
the basis of anticipated revenue trends which are highly unpredictable. Some of our
purchase commitments are not cancelable, and in some cases we are required to
recognize a charge representing the amount of material or capital equipment purchased
or ordered which exceeds our actual requirements. In the past, we have sometimes
experienced significant growth followed by a significant decrease in customer demand
such as occurred in fiscal 2001, when revenues increased by 181% followed by a
decrease of 22% in fiscal 2002. Based on projected revenue trends during these
periods, we acquired inventories and entered into purchase commitments in order to
meet anticipated increases in demand for our products which did not materialize. As a
result, we recorded significant charges for obsolete and excess inventories and
non-cancelable purchase commitments which contributed to substantial operating losses
in fiscal 2002. Should revenues in future periods again fall substantially below our
expectations, or should we fail again to accurately forecast changes in demand mix, we
could be required to record additional charges for obsolete or excess inventories or
non-cancelable purchase commitments.
If we encounter sustained yield problems or other delays in the production or delivery
of our internally-manufactured components or in the final assembly and test of our
transceiver products, we may lose sales and damage our customer relationships.
Our manufacturing operations are highly vertically integrated. In order to reduce
our manufacturing costs, we have acquired a number of companies, and business units of
other companies, that manufacture optical components incorporated in our optical
subsystem products and have developed our own facilities for the final assembly and
testing of our products. For example, we design and manufacture many critical
components including all of the short wavelength VCSEL lasers incorporated in
transceivers used for LAN/SAN applications at our wafer fabrication facility in Allen,
Texas and manufacture a portion of our internal requirements for longer wavelength
lasers at our wafer fabrication facility in Fremont, California. We assemble and test
most of our transceiver products at our facility in Ipoh, Malaysia. As a result of
this vertical integration, we have become increasingly dependent on our internal
production capabilities. The manufacture of critical components, including the
fabrication of wafers, and the assembly and testing of our products, involve highly
complex processes. For example, minute levels of contaminants in the manufacturing
environment, difficulties in the fabrication process or other factors can cause a
substantial portion of the components on a wafer to be nonfunctional. These problems
may be difficult to detect at an early stage of the manufacturing process and often
are time-consuming and expensive to correct. From time to time, we have experienced
problems achieving acceptable yields at our wafer fabrication facilities, resulting in
delays in the availability of components. Moreover, an increase in the rejection rate
of products during the quality control process before, during or after manufacture,
results in lower yields and margins. In addition, changes in manufacturing processes
required as a result of changes in product specifications, changing customer needs and
the introduction of new product lines have
62
Table of Contents
historically significantly reduced our manufacturing yields, resulting in low or
negative margins on those products. Poor manufacturing yields over a prolonged period
of time could adversely affect our ability to deliver our subsystem products to our
customers and could also affect our sale of components to customers in the merchant
market. Our inability to supply components to meet our internal needs could harm our
relationships with customers and have an adverse effect on our business.
We are dependent on widespread market acceptance of our optical subsystems and
components, and our revenues will decline if the markets for these products do not
expand as expected.
We derive all of our revenue from sales of our optical subsystems and components.
Accordingly, widespread acceptance of these products is critical to our future
success. If the market does not continue to accept our optical subsystems and
components, our revenues will decline significantly. Our future success ultimately
depends on the continued growth of the communications industry and, in particular, the
continued expansion of global information networks, particularly those directly or
indirectly dependent upon a fiber optics infrastructure. As part of that growth, we
are relying on increasing demand for voice, video and other data delivered over
high-bandwidth network systems as well as commitments by network systems vendors to
invest in the expansion of the global information network. As network usage and
bandwidth demand increase, so does the need for advanced optical networks to provide
the required bandwidth. Without network and bandwidth growth, the need for optical
subsystems and components, and hence our future growth as a manufacturer of these
products, and systems that test these products, will be jeopardized, and our business
would be significantly harmed.
Many of these factors are beyond our control. In addition, in order to achieve
widespread market acceptance, we must differentiate ourselves from our competition
through product offerings and brand name recognition. We cannot assure you that we
will be successful in making this differentiation or achieving widespread acceptance
of our products. Failure of our existing or future products to maintain and achieve
widespread levels of market acceptance will significantly impair our revenue growth.
We depend on large purchases from a few significant customers, and any loss,
cancellation, reduction or delay in purchases by these customers could harm our
business.
A small number of customers have consistently accounted for a significant portion
of our revenues. For example, sales to our top five customers represented 43% of our
revenues in first half of fiscal 2010 and 42% of our revenues in fiscal 2009. Our
success will depend on our continued ability to develop and manage relationships with
our major customers. Although we are attempting to expand our customer base, we expect
that significant customer concentration will continue for the foreseeable future. We
may not be able to offset any decline in revenues from our existing major customers
with revenues from new customers, and our quarterly results may be volatile because we
are dependent on large orders from these customers that may be reduced or delayed.
The markets in which we have historically sold our optical subsystems and
components products are dominated by a relatively small number of systems
manufacturers, thereby limiting the number of our potential customers. Recent
consolidation of portions of our customer base, including telecommunications systems
manufacturers and potential future consolidation, may
63
Table of Contents
have a material adverse impact on our business. Our dependence on large orders
from a relatively small number of customers makes our relationship with each customer
critically important to our business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to
retain our largest customers, that we will be able to attract additional customers or
that our customers will be successful in selling their products that incorporate our
products. We have in the past experienced delays and reductions in orders from some of
our major customers. In addition, our customers have in the past sought price
concessions from us, and we expect that they will continue to do so in the future.
Cost reduction measures that we have implemented over the past several years, and
additional action we may take to reduce costs, may adversely affect our ability to
introduce new and improved products which may, in turn, adversely affect our
relationships with some of our key customers. Further, some of our customers may in
the future shift their purchases of products from us to our competitors or to joint
ventures between these customers and our competitors. The loss of one or more of our
largest customers, any reduction or delay in sales to these customers, our inability
to successfully develop relationships with additional customers or future price
concessions that we may make could significantly harm our business.
Because we do not have long-term contracts with our customers, our customers may cease
purchasing our products at any time if we fail to meet our customers needs.
Typically, we do not have long-term contracts with our customers. As a result, our
agreements with our customers do not provide any assurance of future sales.
Accordingly:
| our customers can stop purchasing our products at any time without penalty; | ||
| our customers are free to purchase products from our competitors; and | ||
| our customers are not required to make minimum purchases. |
Sales are typically made pursuant to inventory hub arrangements under which
customers may draw down inventory to satisfy their demand as needed or pursuant to
individual purchase orders, often with extremely short lead times. If we are unable to
fulfill these orders in a timely manner, it is likely that we will lose sales and
customers. If our major customers stop purchasing our products for any reason, our
business and results of operations would be harmed.
The markets for our products are subject to rapid technological change, and to compete
effectively we must continually introduce new products that achieve market acceptance.
The markets for our products are characterized by rapid technological change,
frequent new product introductions, substantial capital investment, changes in
customer requirements and evolving industry standards with respect to the protocols
used in data communications, telecommunications and cable TV networks. Our future
performance will depend on the successful development, introduction and market
acceptance of new and enhanced products that address these changes as well as current
and potential customer requirements. For example, the market for optical subsystems is
currently characterized by a trend toward the adoption of pluggable modules and
subsystems that do not require customized interconnections and by the development of
more complex and integrated optical subsystems. We expect that new technologies will
emerge as competition and the need for higher and more cost-effective bandwidth
increases. The introduction of new and enhanced products may cause our customers to
defer or cancel orders for existing products. In addition, a slowdown in demand for
existing products ahead of a new product introduction could result in a write-down in
the value of
64
Table of Contents
inventory on hand related to existing products. We have in the past experienced a
slowdown in demand for existing products and delays in new product development and
such delays may occur in the future. To the extent customers defer or cancel orders
for existing products due to a slowdown in demand or in the expectation of a new
product release or if there is any delay in development or introduction of our new
products or enhancements of our products, our operating results would suffer. We also
may not be able to develop the underlying core technologies necessary to create new
products and enhancements, or to license these technologies from third parties.
Product development delays may result from numerous factors, including:
| changing product specifications and customer requirements; | ||
| unanticipated engineering complexities; | ||
| expense reduction measures we have implemented, and others we may implement, to conserve our cash and attempt to achieve and sustain profitability; | ||
| difficulties in hiring and retaining necessary technical personnel; | ||
| difficulties in reallocating engineering resources and overcoming resource limitations; and | ||
| changing market or competitive product requirements. |
The development of new, technologically advanced products is a complex and
uncertain process requiring high levels of innovation and highly skilled engineering
and development personnel, as well as the accurate anticipation of technological and
market trends. The introduction of new products also requires significant investment
to ramp up production capacity, for which benefit will not be realized if customer
demand does not develop as expected. Ramping of production capacity also entails risks
of delays which can limit our ability to realize the full benefit of the new product
introduction. We cannot assure you that we will be able to identify, develop,
manufacture, market or support new or enhanced products successfully, if at all, or on
a timely basis. Further, we cannot assure you that our new products will gain market
acceptance or that we will be able to respond effectively to product announcements by
competitors, technological changes or emerging industry standards. Any failure to
respond to technological change would significantly harm our business.
Continued competition in our markets may lead to an accelerated reduction in our
prices, revenues and market share.
The end markets for optical products have experienced significant industry
consolidation during the past few years while the industry that supplies these
customers has not. As a result, the markets for optical subsystems and components are
highly competitive. Our current competitors include a number of domestic and
international companies, many of which have substantially greater financial,
technical, marketing and distribution resources and brand name recognition than we
have. We may not be able to compete successfully against either current or future
competitors. Companies competing with us may introduce products that are competitively
priced, have increased performance or functionality, or incorporate technological
advances and may be able to react quicker to changing customer requirements and
expectations. There is also the risk that network systems vendors may re-enter the
subsystem market and begin to manufacture the optical subsystems incorporated in their
network systems. Increased competition could result in significant price erosion,
reduced revenue, lower margins or loss of market share,
65
Table of Contents
any of which would significantly harm our business. For optical subsystems, we
compete primarily with Avago Technologies, Capella Intelligent Subsystems, CoAdna
Photonics, Emcore, Fujitsu Computer Systems, JDS Uniphase, Opnext, Oplink, StrataLight
Communications, Sumitomo, and a number of smaller vendors. BKtel, Emcore, Olson
Technology and Yagi Antenna are our main competitors with respect to our cable TV
products. Our competitors continue to introduce improved products and we will have to
do the same to remain competitive.
Decreases in average selling prices of our products may reduce our gross margins.
The market for optical subsystems is characterized by declining average selling
prices resulting from factors such as increased competition, overcapacity, the
introduction of new products and increased unit volumes as manufacturers continue to
deploy network and storage systems. We have in the past experienced, and in the future
may experience, substantial period-to-period fluctuations in operating results due to
declining average selling prices. We anticipate that average selling prices will
decrease in the future in response to product introductions by competitors or us, or
by other factors, including pricing pressures from significant customers. Therefore,
in order to achieve and sustain profitable operations, we must continue to develop and
introduce on a timely basis new products that incorporate features that can be sold at
higher average selling prices. Failure to do so could cause our revenues and gross
margins to decline, which would result in additional operating losses and
significantly harm our business.
We may be unable to reduce the cost of our products sufficiently to enable us to
compete with others. Our cost reduction efforts may not allow us to keep pace with
competitive pricing pressures and could adversely affect our margins. In order to
remain competitive, we must continually reduce the cost of manufacturing our products
through design and engineering changes. We may not be successful in redesigning our
products or delivering our products to market in a timely manner. We cannot assure you
that any redesign will result in sufficient cost reductions to allow us to reduce the
price of our products to remain competitive or improve our gross margins.
Shifts in our product mix may result in declines in gross margins.
Our optical products sold for longer distance MAN and telecom applications
typically have higher gross margins than our products for shorter distance LAN or SAN
applications. Gross margins on individual products fluctuate over the products life
cycle. Our overall gross margins have fluctuated from period to period as a result of
shifts in product mix, the introduction of new products, decreases in average selling
prices for older products and our ability to reduce product costs, and these
fluctuations are expected to continue in the future.
Our customers often evaluate our products for long and variable periods, which causes
the timing of our revenues and results of operations to be unpredictable.
The period of time between our initial contact with a customer and the receipt of
an actual purchase order may span a year or more. During this time, customers may
perform, or require us to perform, extensive and lengthy evaluation and testing of our
products before purchasing and using the products in their equipment. These products
often take substantial time to develop because of their complexity and because
customer specifications sometimes change during the development cycle. Our customers
do not typically share information on the duration or magnitude of these qualification
procedures. The length of these qualification processes also may vary substantially by
product and customer, and, thus, cause our results of operations to be
66
Table of Contents
unpredictable. While our potential customers are qualifying our products and
before they place an order with us, we may incur substantial research and development
and sales and marketing expenses and expend significant management effort. Even after
incurring such costs we ultimately may not sell any products to such potential
customers. In addition, these qualification processes often make it difficult to
obtain new customers, as customers are reluctant to expend the resources necessary to
qualify a new supplier if they have one or more existing qualified sources. Once our
products have been qualified, the agreements that we enter into with our customers
typically contain no minimum purchase commitments. Failure of our customers to
incorporate our products into their systems would significantly harm our business.
We will lose sales if we are unable to obtain government authorization to export
certain of our products, and we would be subject to legal and regulatory consequences
if we do not comply with applicable export control laws and regulations.
Exports of certain of our products are subject to export controls imposed by the
U.S. Government and administered by the United States Departments of State and
Commerce. In certain instances, these regulations may require pre-shipment
authorization from the administering department. For products subject to the Export
Administration Regulations, or EAR, administered by the Department of Commerces
Bureau of Industry and Security, the requirement for a license is dependent on the
type and end use of the product, the final destination, the identity of the end user
and whether a license exception might apply. Virtually all exports of products subject
to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, or ITAR, administered by the
Department of States Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, require a license.
Certain of our fiber optics products are subject to EAR and certain of our RF over
fiber products, as well as certain products developed with government funding, are
currently subject to ITAR. Products developed and manufactured in our foreign
locations are subject to export controls of the applicable foreign nation.
Given the current global political climate, obtaining export licenses can be
difficult and time-consuming. Failure to obtain export licenses for these shipments
could significantly reduce our revenue and materially adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations. Compliance with U.S. Government
regulations may also subject us to additional fees and costs. The absence of
comparable restrictions on competitors in other countries may adversely affect our
competitive position.
During mid-2007, Optium became aware that certain of its analog RF over fiber
products may, depending on end use and customization, be subject to ITAR. Accordingly,
Optium filed a detailed voluntary disclosure with the United States Department of
State describing the details of possible inadvertent ITAR violations with respect to
the export of a limited number of certain prototype products, as well as related
technical data and defense services. Optium may have also made unauthorized transfers
of ITAR-restricted technical data and defense services to foreign persons in the
workplace. Additional information has been provided upon request to the Department of
State with respect to this matter. In late 2008, a grand jury subpoena from the office
of the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania was received requesting
documents from 2005 through the present referring to, relating to or involving the
subject matter of the above referenced voluntary disclosure and export activities.
67
Table of Contents
While the Department of State encourages voluntary disclosures and generally
affords parties mitigating credit under such circumstances, we nevertheless could be
subject to continued investigation and potential regulatory consequences ranging from a no-action
letter, government oversight of facilities and export transactions, monetary
penalties, and in extreme cases, debarment from government contracting, denial of
export privileges and criminal sanctions, any of which would adversely affect our
results of operations and cash flow. The Department of State and U.S. Attorney
inquiries may require us to expend significant management time and incur significant
legal and other expenses. We cannot predict how long it will take or how much more
time and resources we will have to expend to resolve these government inquiries, nor
can we predict the outcome of these inquiries.
We depend on facilities located outside of the United States to manufacture a
substantial portion of our products, which subjects us to additional risks.
In addition to our principal manufacturing facility in Malaysia, we operate
smaller facilities in Australia, China, Israel and Singapore. We also rely on several
contract manufacturers located in Asia for our supply of key subassemblies. Each of
these facilities and manufacturers subjects us to additional risks associated with
international manufacturing, including:
| unexpected changes in regulatory requirements; | ||
| legal uncertainties regarding liability, tariffs and other trade barriers; | ||
| inadequate protection of intellectual property in some countries; | ||
| greater incidence of shipping delays; | ||
| greater difficulty in overseeing manufacturing operations; | ||
| greater difficulty in hiring and retaining direct labor; | ||
| greater difficulty in hiring talent needed to oversee manufacturing operations; | ||
| potential political and economic instability; and |
the outbreak of infectious diseases such as the H1N1 influenza virus and/or
severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, which could result in travel
restrictions or the closure of our facilities or the facilities of our customers
and suppliers.
Any of these factors could significantly impair our ability to source our
contract manufacturing requirements internationally.
Our future operating results may be subject to volatility as a result of exposure to
foreign exchange risks.
We are exposed to foreign exchange risks. Foreign currency fluctuations may
affect both our revenues and our costs and expenses and significantly affect our
operating results. Prices for our products are currently denominated in U.S. dollars
for sales to our customers throughout the world. If there is a significant devaluation
of the currency in a specific country relative to the dollar, the prices of our
products will increase relative to that countrys currency, our products may be less
competitive in that country and our revenues may be adversely affected.

Table of Contents
Although we price our products in U.S. dollars, portions of both our cost of
revenues and operating expenses are incurred in foreign currencies, principally the
Malaysian ringgit, the Chinese yuan, the Australian dollar and the Israeli shekel. As
a result, we bear the risk that the rate of inflation in one or more countries will
exceed the rate of the devaluation of that countrys currency in relation to the U.S.
dollar, which would increase our costs as expressed in U.S. dollars. To date, we have
not engaged in currency hedging transactions to decrease the risk of financial
exposure from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
Our business and future operating results are subject to a wide range of uncertainties
arising out of the continuing threat of terrorist attacks and ongoing military actions
in the Middle East.
Like other U.S. companies, our business and operating results are subject to
uncertainties arising out of the continuing threat of terrorist attacks on the United
States and ongoing military actions in the Middle East, including the economic
consequences of the war in Afghanistan and Iraq or additional terrorist activities and
associated political instability, and the impact of heightened security concerns on
domestic and international travel and commerce. In particular, due to these
uncertainties we are subject to:
| increased risks related to the operations of our manufacturing facilities in Malaysia; | ||
| greater risks of disruption in the operations of our China, Singapore and Israeli facilities and our Asian contract manufacturers and more frequent instances of shipping delays; and | ||
| the risk that future tightening of immigration controls may adversely affect the residence status of non-U.S. engineers and other key technical employees in our U.S. facilities or our ability to hire new non-U.S. employees in such facilities. |
Past and future acquisitions could be difficult to integrate, disrupt our business,
dilute stockholder value and harm our operating results.
In addition to our recent combination with Optium, we have completed the
acquisition of ten privately-held companies and certain businesses and assets from six
other companies since October 2000. We continue to review opportunities to acquire
other businesses, product lines or technologies that would complement our current
products, expand the breadth of our markets or enhance our technical capabilities, or
that may otherwise offer growth opportunities, and we from time to time make proposals
and offers, and take other steps, to acquire businesses, products and technologies.
The Optium merger and several of our other past acquisitions have been material,
and acquisitions that we may complete in the future may be material. In 13 of our 17
acquisitions, we issued common stock or notes convertible into common stock as all or
a portion of the consideration. The issuance of common stock or other equity
securities by us in any future transaction would dilute our stockholders percentage
ownership.
69
Table of Contents
Other risks associated with acquiring the operations of other companies include:
| problems assimilating the purchased operations, technologies or products; | ||
| unanticipated costs associated with the acquisition; | ||
| diversion of managements attention from our core business; | ||
| adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers; | ||
| risks associated with entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience; and | ||
| potential loss of key employees of purchased organizations. |
Not all of our past acquisitions have been successful. In the past, we have
subsequently sold some of the assets acquired in prior acquisitions, discontinued
product lines and closed acquired facilities. As a result of these activities, we
incurred significant restructuring charges and charges for the write-down of assets
associated with those acquisitions. Through fiscal 2009, we have written off all of
the goodwill associated with past acquisitions. We cannot assure you that we will be
successful in overcoming problems encountered in connection with more recently
completed acquisitions or potential future acquisitions, and our inability to do so
could significantly harm our business. In addition, to the extent that the economic
benefits associated with any of our completed or future acquisitions diminish in the
future, we may be required to record additional write downs of goodwill, intangible
assets or other assets associated with such acquisitions, which would adversely affect
our operating results.
We have made and may continue to make strategic investments which may not be
successful, may result in the loss of all or part of our invested capital and may
adversely affect our operating results.
Through the first half of fiscal 2010, we made minority equity investments in
early-stage technology companies, totaling approximately $56 million. Our investments
in these early stage companies were primarily motivated by our desire to gain early
access to new technology. We intend to review additional opportunities to make
strategic equity investments in pre-public companies where we believe such investments
will provide us with opportunities to gain access to important technologies or
otherwise enhance important commercial relationships. We have little or no influence
over the early-stage companies in which we have made or may make these strategic,
minority equity investments. Each of these investments in pre-public companies
involves a high degree of risk. We may not be successful in achieving the financial,
technological or commercial advantage upon which any given investment is premised, and
failure by the early-stage company to achieve its own business objectives or to raise
capital needed on acceptable economic terms could result in a loss of all or part of
our invested capital. Between fiscal 2003 and 2009, we wrote off an aggregate of $24.8
million in six investments which became impaired and reclassified $4.2 million of
another investment to goodwill as the investment was deemed to have no value. During
the second quarter of fiscal 2010, we wrote off $2.0 million of our investment in
another privately held company. We may be required to write off all or a portion of
the $12.3 million in such investments remaining on our balance sheet as of November 1,
2009 in future periods.

Our ability to utilize certain net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit
carryforwards may be limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
As of April 30, 2009, we had net operating loss, or NOL, carryforward amounts of
approximately $489 million for U.S. federal income tax purposes and $159.8 million for
state income tax purposes, and U.S. federal and state tax credit carryforward amounts
of approximately $14.4 million for U.S. federal income tax purposes and $10.1 million
for state income tax purposes. These NOLs and tax credit carryforwards will expire at
various dates beginning in 2010, if not utilized. Utilization of these NOL and tax
credit carryforward amounts may be subject to a substantial annual limitation if the
ownership change limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and
similar state provisions are triggered by changes in the ownership of our capital
stock. Such an annual limitation could result in the expiration of the NOL and tax
credit carryforward amounts before utilization.
Because of competition for technical personnel, we may not be able to recruit or
retain necessary personnel.
We believe our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to
attract and retain highly skilled managerial, technical, sales and marketing, finance
and manufacturing personnel. In particular, we may need to increase the number of
technical staff members with experience in high-speed networking applications as we
further develop our product lines. Competition for these highly skilled employees in
our industry is intense. In making employment decisions, particularly in the
high-technology industries, job candidates often consider the value of the equity they
are to receive in connection with their employment. Therefore, significant volatility
in the price of our common stock may adversely affect our ability to attract or retain
technical personnel. Furthermore, changes to accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States relating to the expensing of stock options may limit our ability
to grant the sizes or types of stock awards that job candidates may require to accept
employment with us. Our failure to attract and retain these qualified employees could
significantly harm our business. The loss of the services of any of our qualified
employees, the inability to attract or retain qualified personnel in the future or
delays in hiring required personnel could hinder the development and introduction of
and negatively impact our ability to sell our products. In addition, employees may
leave our company and subsequently compete against us. Moreover, companies in our
industry whose employees accept positions with competitors frequently claim that their
competitors have engaged in unfair hiring practices. We have been subject to claims of
this type and may be subject to such claims in the future as we seek to hire qualified
personnel. Some of these claims may result in material litigation. We could incur
substantial costs in defending ourselves against these claims, regardless of their
merits.
Our failure to protect our intellectual property may significantly harm our business.
Our success and ability to compete is dependent in part on our proprietary
technology. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret
laws, as well as confidentiality agreements to establish and protect our proprietary
rights. We license certain of our proprietary technology, including our digital
diagnostics technology, to customers who include current and potential competitors,
and we rely largely on provisions of our licensing agreements to protect our
intellectual property rights in this technology. Although a number of patents have
been issued to us, we have obtained a number of other patents as a result of our
acquisitions, and we have filed applications for additional patents, we cannot assure
you that any patents will issue as a result of pending patent applications or that our
issued patents will be
71
Table of Contents
upheld. Additionally, significant technology used in our product lines is not the
subject of any patent protection, and we may be unable to obtain patent protection on
such technology in the future. Any infringement of our proprietary rights could result
in significant litigation costs, and any failure to adequately protect our proprietary
rights could result in our competitors offering similar products, potentially
resulting in loss of a competitive advantage and decreased revenues.
Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, existing patent,
copyright, trademark and trade secret laws afford only limited protection. In
addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to
the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Attempts may be made to copy or
reverse engineer aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that we
regard as proprietary. Accordingly, we may not be able to prevent misappropriation of
our technology or deter others from developing similar technology. Furthermore,
policing the unauthorized use of our products is difficult and expensive. We are
currently engaged in pending litigation to enforce certain of our patents, and
additional litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual
property rights or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of
others. In connection with the pending litigation, substantial management time has
been, and will continue to be, expended. In addition, we have incurred, and we expect
to continue to incur, substantial legal expenses in connection with these pending
lawsuits. These costs and this diversion of resources could significantly harm our
business.
Claims that we infringe third-party intellectual property rights could result in
significant expenses or restrictions on our ability to sell our products.
The networking industry is characterized by the existence of a large number of
patents and frequent litigation based on allegations of patent infringement. We have
been involved in the past as a defendant in patent infringement lawsuits, and we were
recently found liable in a patent infringement lawsuit filed against Optium by JDS
Uniphase Corporation and Emcore Corporation. From time to time, other parties may
assert patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights to
technologies and in various jurisdictions that are important to our business. Any
claims asserting that our products infringe or may infringe proprietary rights of
third parties, if determined adversely to us, could significantly harm our business.
Any claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly
litigation, divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel, cause
product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements,
any of which could significantly harm our business. In addition, our agreements with
our customers typically require us to indemnify our customers from any expense or
liability resulting from claimed infringement of third party intellectual property
rights. In the event a claim against us was successful and we could not obtain a
license to the relevant technology on acceptable terms or license a substitute
technology or redesign our products to avoid infringement, our business would be
significantly harmed.
Numerous patents in our industry are held by others, including academic
institutions and competitors. Optical subsystem suppliers may seek to gain a
competitive advantage or other third parties may seek an economic return on their
intellectual property portfolios by making infringement claims against us. In the
future, we may need to obtain license rights to patents or other intellectual property
held by others to the extent necessary for our business. Unless we are able to obtain
those licenses on commercially reasonable terms, patents or other intellectual
property held by others could inhibit our development of new products. Licenses
granting us the right to use third party technology may not be available on
commercially reasonable terms, if at
72
Table of Contents
all. Generally, a license, if granted, would include payments of up-front fees,
ongoing royalties or both. These payments or other terms could have a significant
adverse impact on our operating results.
Our products may contain defects that may cause us to incur significant costs, divert
our attention from product development efforts and result in a loss of customers.
Our products are complex and defects may be found from time to time. Networking
products frequently contain undetected software or hardware defects when first
introduced or as new versions are released. In addition, our products are often
embedded in or deployed in conjunction with our customers products which incorporate
a variety of components produced by third parties. As a result, when problems occur,
it may be difficult to identify the source of the problem. These problems may cause us
to incur significant damages or warranty and repair costs, divert the attention of our
engineering personnel from our product development efforts and cause significant
customer relation problems or loss of customers, all of which would harm our business.
We are subject to pending shareholder derivative legal proceedings.
We have been named as a nominal defendant in several purported shareholder
derivative lawsuits concerning the granting of stock options. These cases have been
consolidated into two proceedings pending in federal and state courts in California.
The plaintiffs in all of these cases have alleged that certain current or former
officers and directors of Finisar caused it to grant stock options at less than fair
market value, contrary to our public statements (including statements in our financial
statements), and that, as a result, those officers and directors are liable to
Finisar. No specific amount of damages has been alleged and, by the nature of the
lawsuits no damages will be alleged, against Finisar. On May 22, 2007, the state court
granted our motion to stay the state court action pending resolution of the
consolidated federal court action. On August 28, 2007, we and the individual
defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint which were granted on January 11,
2008. On May 12, 2008, the plaintiffs filed a further amended complaint in the federal
court action. On July 1, 2008, we and the individual defendants filed motions to
dismiss the amended complaint. On September 22, 2009, the Court granted the motions to
dismiss. The plaintiffs are appealing this order. We will continue to incur legal
fees in this case, including expenses for the reimbursement of legal fees of present
and former officers and directors under indemnification obligations. The expense of
continuing to defend such litigation may be significant. The amount of time to resolve
these lawsuits is unpredictable and these actions may divert managements attention
from the day-to-day operations of our business, which could adversely affect our
business, results of operations and cash flows.
Our business and future operating results may be adversely affected by events outside
our control.
Our business and operating results are vulnerable to events outside of our
control, such as earthquakes, fire, power loss, telecommunications failures and
uncertainties arising out of terrorist attacks in the United States and overseas. Our
corporate headquarters and a portion of our manufacturing operations are located in
California. California in particular has been vulnerable to natural disasters, such as
earthquakes, fires and floods, and other risks which at times have disrupted the local
economy and posed physical risks to our property. We are also dependent on
communications links with our overseas manufacturing locations and would be
73
Table of Contents
significantly harmed if these links were interrupted for any significant length
of time. We presently do not have adequate redundant, multiple site capacity if any of
these events were to occur, nor can we be certain that the insurance we maintain
against these events would be adequate.
The conversion of our outstanding convertible subordinated notes would result in
substantial dilution to our current stockholders.
As of November 1, 2009, we had outstanding 5.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029
in the principal amount of $100.0 million, 2 1/2% Convertible Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2010 in the principal amount of $30.7 million and 2 1/2% Convertible
Subordinated Notes due 2010 in the principal amount of $4.4 million. As a result of
subsequent repurchases, the principal balance of the 2 1/2% Convertible Senior
Subordinated Notes outstanding has been reduced to $25.7 million and the principal
balance of the 2 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2010 outstanding has been
reduced to $3.9 million. The $100.0 million in principal amount of our 5% Senior Notes
are convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time on or prior to maturity into
shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $10.68 per share. The $3.9
million in principal amount of our 2 1/2% Subordinated Notes are convertible, at the
option of the holder, at any time on or prior to maturity into shares of our common
stock at a conversion price of $29.64 per share. The $25.7 million in principal amount
of our 2 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes are convertible at a conversion price of
$26.24, with the underlying principal payable in cash, upon the trading price of our
common stock reaching $39.36 for a period of time. An aggregate of approximately
9,490,000 shares of common stock would be issued upon the conversion of all
outstanding convertible notes at these exchange rates, which would dilute the voting
power and ownership percentage of our existing stockholders. We have previously
entered into privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of our convertible
notes for the repurchase of notes in exchange for a greater number of shares of our
common stock than would have been issued had the principal amount of the notes been
converted at the original conversion rate specified in the notes, thus resulting in
more dilution. We may enter into similar transactions in the future and, if we do so,
there will be additional dilution to the voting power and percentage ownership of our
existing stockholders.
Delaware law, our charter documents and our stockholder rights plan contain provisions
that could discourage or prevent a potential takeover, even if such a transaction
would be beneficial to our stockholders.
Some provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as
provisions of Delaware law, may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition
that a stockholder may consider favorable. These include provisions:
| authorizing the board of directors to issue additional preferred stock; | ||
| prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors; | ||
| limiting the persons who may call special meetings of stockholders; | ||
| prohibiting stockholder actions by written consent; |
74
Table of Contents
| creating a classified board of directors pursuant to which our directors are elected for staggered three-year terms; | ||
| permitting the board of directors to increase the size of the board and to fill vacancies; | ||
| requiring a super-majority vote of our stockholders to amend our bylaws and certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation; and | ||
| establishing advance notice requirements for nominations for election to the board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted on by stockholders at stockholder meetings. |
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law which limit the right of a corporation to engage in a business
combination with a holder of 15% or more of the corporations outstanding voting
securities, or certain affiliated persons.
In addition, in September 2002, our board of directors adopted a stockholder
rights plan under which our stockholders received one share purchase right for each
share of our common stock held by them. Subject to certain exceptions, the rights
become exercisable when a person or group (other than certain exempt persons)
acquires, or announces its intention to commence a tender or exchange offer upon
completion of which such person or group would acquire, 20% or more of our common
stock without prior board approval. Should such an event occur, then, unless the
rights are redeemed or have expired, our stockholders, other than the acquirer, will
be entitled to purchase shares of our common stock at a 50% discount from its
then-Current Market Price (as defined) or, in the case of certain business
combinations, purchase the common stock of the acquirer at a 50% discount.
Although we believe that these charter and bylaw provisions, provisions of
Delaware law and our stockholder rights plan provide an opportunity for the board to
assure that our stockholders realize full value for their investment, they could have
the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control, even under circumstances
that some stockholders may consider beneficial.
We do not currently intend to pay dividends on Finisar common stock and, consequently,
a stockholders ability to achieve a return on such stockholders investment will
depend on appreciation in the price of the common stock.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on Finisar common stock and we
do not currently intend to do so for the foreseeable future. We currently intend to
invest our future earnings, if any, to fund our growth. Therefore, a stockholder is
not likely to receive any dividends on such stockholders common stock for the
foreseeable future.
Our stock price has been and is likely to continue to be volatile.
The trading price of our common stock has been and is likely to continue to be
subject to large fluctuations. Our stock price may increase or decrease in response to
a number of events and factors, including:
| trends in our industry and the markets in which we operate; | ||
| changes in the market price of the products we sell; |
75
Table of Contents
| changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts; | ||
| acquisitions and financings; | ||
| quarterly variations in our operating results; | ||
| the operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors in our common stock may deem comparable; and | ||
| purchases or sales of blocks of our common stock. |
Part of this volatility is attributable to the current state of the stock market,
in which wide price swings are common. This volatility may adversely affect the prices
of our common stock regardless of our operating performance. If any of the foregoing
occurs, our stock price could fall and we may be exposed to class action lawsuits
that, even if unsuccessful, could be costly to defend and a distraction to management.
