EMCORE
Corporation (the “Company”) is evaluating its long-lived assets for impairment
in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of”. The determination as to whether a write-down of
long-lived assets is necessary involves significant judgment based on the
short-term and long-term projections of the future performance of the reporting
unit to which the long-lived assets are attributed.
As a
result of the time necessary to complete this evaluation, the Company was unable
to complete the filing of its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30,
2009 by the due date of August 10, 2009, without unreasonable effort or
expense. The Company believes that it will be able to file its Form
10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009 within the five-day period
provided under Rule 12b-25(b)(2)(ii).

statements to be included in the subject report or portion
thereof?
ý Yes
¨ No
If so,
attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and
quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate
of the results cannot be made.
During
the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company continued to experience
significant adverse changes in its results of operations (in particular,
revenue, gross margin, operating loss, and net loss) when compared to the
corresponding periods for the last fiscal year primarily due to adverse changes
in the macroeconomic environment. During the three months ended June
30, 2009, the Company incurred approximately $37 million of additional non-cash
expenses related to impairment of long-lived assets in its Fiber Optics business
segment, primarily related to the Company’s acquisition of Intel Corporation’s
fiber optics assets in 2008, and other non-cash charges. The Company
expects to report a fiscal 2009 third quarter net loss of approximately
$45 million.
