Amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
For the Quarter Ended August 2, 2009
EXPLANATORY NOTE
On September 25, 2009, Finisar Corporation (the Company) effected a one-for-eight reverse
split of its common stock pursuant to previously obtained stockholder authorization. The number of
authorized shares of common stock was not changed. This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A amends the
Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended August 2, 2009 (the Form
10-Q) solely for the purpose of retroactively restating all share and per-share information
contained therein to reflect the reverse stock split. Information in the Form 10-Q is generally
stated as of August 2, 2009 and this filing does not reflect any subsequent information or events
other than the updated share and per-share information. Without limitation of the foregoing, this
filing does not purport to update Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations contained in the Form 10-Q for any information, uncertainties, transactions,
risks, events or trends occurring, or known to management. More current information is contained
in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Company since the filing
of the Form 10-Q. This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2009, as amended, and such other
filings. Such filings contain important information regarding events, developments and updates to
certain expectations of the Company that have occurred since the filing of the Form 10-Q.

FINISAR CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Finisar Corporation is a leading provider of optical subsystems and components that connect
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 the equipment used in building
these 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. 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.
On August 29, 2008, Finisar completed a business combination with Optium Corporation, a
leading designer and manufacturer of high performance optical subsystems for use in
telecommunications and CATV systems, through the merger of Optium with a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Finisar. The Company believes 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, the Company has
realized and expects 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 components into product designs previously purchased in the open market by Optium.
At the closing of the merger, the Company 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.
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 Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived
Assets, the operating results of this business, the assets and liabilities through the date of its
disposition and for all applicable prior periods are reported as discontinued operations in the
condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended August 2, 2009. See Note 3 for
further details regarding the sale of division.
Finisar Corporation was incorporated in California in April 1987 and reincorporated in
Delaware in November 1999. Finisars principal executive offices are located at 1389 Moffett Park
Drive, Sunnyvale, California 94089, and its telephone number at that location is (408) 548-1000.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of August 2, 2009
and for the three month periods ended August 2, 2009 and August 3, 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 have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Companys financial position
at August 2, 2009 and its operating results and cash flows for the three month periods ended August
2, 2009 and August 3, 2008. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the
8
Companys audited financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2009.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through October 7, 2009, the date these
financial statements were issued.
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.
Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued 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). FSP
APB 14-1 addresses instruments commonly referred to as Instrument C from Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) Issue No. 90-19, Convertible Bonds with Issuer Option to Settle for Cash upon Conversion,
which requires the issuer to settle the principal amount in cash and the conversion spread in cash
or net shares at the issuers option. FSP APB 14-1 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.
FSP APB 14-1 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 FSP APB 14-1 on a retrospective basis and reflected
additional interest expense of $1.2 million for each of the three months ended August 2, 2009 and
August 3, 2008, respectively, in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. In addition,
the retrospective adoption of FSP APB 14-1 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 11 for the impact of the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 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 August 2, 2009 and 2008 were adjusted retroactively to reflect the
reverse stock split.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles 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.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
The Companys revenue transactions consist predominately of sales of products to customers.
The Company follows SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition, and 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.
9
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 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
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131), 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. SFAS 131 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 consisting of
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 and available-for-sale 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 48.0% of total accounts receivable at
August 2, 2009 and April 30, 2009, respectively. As of August 2, 2009, two customers accounted for
18% and 10%, respectively, 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 months ended August 2, 2009 and August 3, 2008, sales of optical subsystems and
components to one customer represented 16% and 18%, respectively, of total revenues. No other
customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenues in either of these fiscal periods
Included in the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheet at August 2, 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 $73 million.
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.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising is used infrequently in marketing the
Companys products. Advertising costs were $12,000 and $6,000 in the three months ended August 2,
2009 and August 3, 2008, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company records costs related to shipping and handling in cost of sales for all periods
presented.
10
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 SFAS No.
115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, the Company has classified
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 the investment.
Fair Value Accounting
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities-Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). FAS 159
expands the use of fair value accounting to eligible financial assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 is
effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year commencing after November 15, 2007.
The Company evaluated its existing financial instruments and elected not to adopt the fair value
option to account for its financial instruments. As a result, SFAS 159 did not have any impact on
the Companys financial condition or results of operations for the periods presented in this
report. However, because the SFAS 159 election is based on an instrument-by-instrument election at
the time the Company first recognizes an eligible item or enters into an eligible firm commitment,
the Company may decide to elect the fair value option on new items should business reasons support
doing so in the future.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which
is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within
those years. This statement 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
statement 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. SFAS 157 defines fair value based
upon an exit price model.
SFAS 157 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to
measure fair value. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under SFAS 157 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. 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.
11
The Company adopted the effective portions of SFAS 157 on May 1, 2008. In February 2008, the
FASB issued FASB Staff Positions (FSP) 157-1 and 157-2 (FSP 157-1 and FSP 157-2). FSP 157-1
amends SFAS 157 to exclude SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases and its related interpretive
accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions, while FSP 157-2 delays the effective
date of the application of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all
nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in
the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The Company adopted the provisions of FSP 157-2
in first quarter of fiscal 2010 on a prospective basis for its non-financial assets and liabilities
that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. The adoption of FSP 157-2
did not have a material impact on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of
the Company.
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. Please see note 8 for additional details regarding fair value of our
investments.
The Company did not hold financial assets and liabilities which were valued using unobservable
inputs as of August 2, 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 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 accounted
for under the purchase method. Amortization of purchased technology and other intangibles has been
provided on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from three to seven years. The amortization
of goodwill ceased with the adoption of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS
142), 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.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives.
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
12
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (revised
2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), 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. SFAS 123R 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 SFAS
123R. 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 Companys consolidated statements of operations.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Companys condensed consolidated statements
of operations for the three months ended August 2, 2009 and August 3, 2008 included compensation
expense for stock-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, the adoption of
SFAS 123R, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS
No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and compensation expense for the stock-based
payment awards granted subsequent to April 30, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. 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 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 the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share (in

Comprehensive Income (Loss)
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income (SFAS 130), establishes rules for reporting and
display of comprehensive income or loss and its components. SFAS 130 requires unrealized gains or
losses on the Companys available-for-sale securities and foreign currency translation adjustments
to be included in comprehensive income (loss).
The components of comprehensive income for the three months ended August 2, 2009 and August 3,

Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method to account for income taxes as required by SFAS No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109). As part of the process of preparing its consolidated
financial statements, the Company is required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions
in which it operates. 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.
The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to an amount that
it estimates is more likely than not to be realized. The Company considers estimated future taxable
income and prudent tax planning strategies in determining the need for a valuation allowance. When
the Company determines that it is more likely than not that some or all of its 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 the Company determine that it is not likely to realize all or part of its deferred
tax assets in the future, an increase to the valuation allowance would be recorded to the income
tax provision in the period such determination was made.

Recent Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP APB 14-1 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. The Company adopted this pronouncement in
the first quarter of fiscal 2010. See Note 11 for the impact of the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 on the
Companys financial position and results of operations.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS 165). SFAS 165 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, SFAS 165
requires an entity to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. SFAS
No. 165 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 SFAS No. 107-1 and Accounting Principle Board (APB) Opinion
No. 28-1 (APB No. 28-1), Interim Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments (SFAS
No. 107-1 and APB No. 28-1). SFAS No. 107-1 and APB No. 28-1 require fair value disclosures in
both interim as well as annual financial statements in order to provide more timely information
about the effects of current market conditions on financial instruments. SFAS No. 107-1 and APB
No. 28-1 are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company
adopted these standards as of May 1, 2009. As SFAS No. 107-1 and APB No. 28-1 relate specifically
to disclosures, these standards had no impact on the Companys financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows. See note 25 for further discussion.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statementsan amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160
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. FAS 160 also
establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of
the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 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.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations (SFAS 141R). SFAS
141R establishes 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. SFAS 141R 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 SFAS 141R. The Company expects
FAS No. 141R 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 quarter of fiscal 2010 by the Company.
Pending Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In June 2009, the FASB issued 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). SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification)
as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by
nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all
authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic
in one place. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September
15, 2009, and as of the effective date, all existing accounting standard documents will be
superseded. The Codification is effective for the Company in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, and
accordingly, its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending November 1, 2009 and all
subsequent public filings will reference the Codification as the sole source of authoritative
literature. The codification will not have an impact on the Companys financial condition, results
of operations or cash flows.
15
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)
(SFAS 167). SFAS 167 modifies how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently
capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. SFAS
167 clarifies that the determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is
based on, among other things, the entitys purpose and design and the companys ability to direct
the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance. SFAS
167 requires an ongoing reassessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable
interest entity. SFAS 167 also requires additional disclosures about a companys involvement in
variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement.
SFAS 167 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company has not
completed its assessment of the impact SFAS 167 will have on its financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets
(SFAS 166), an amendment of SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
and Extinguishments of Liabilities. The FASBs objective in issuing this Statement is 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. This Statement 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. This Statement 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 SFAS 166 on its consolidated results of
operations and financial condition.
3. 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 SFAS 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets, the operating results of this business, through the
date of its disposition and for all applicable prior periods are reported as discontinued
operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ending August 2, 2009.
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 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 consolidated statements of cash flow.

The Company has entered into a transition services agreement with the buyer of the Network
Tools business. The Company evaluated the agreement for continuing cash flows and concluded that
the cash flows from continuation of activities are not expected to extend beyond one year. 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 Companys information technology, communication services and employee services. The duration
for which these services will be provided is not expected to be more than three to six months.

6. Sale-leaseback and Impairment of Tangible Assets
During the quarter ended January 31, 2005, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $18.8
million to write down the carrying value of one of its corporate office facilities located in
Sunnyvale, California upon entering into a sale-leaseback agreement. The property was written down
to its appraised value, which was based on the work of an independent appraiser in conjunction with
the sale-leaseback agreement. Due to retention by the Company of an option to acquire the leased
properties at fair value at the end of the fifth year of the lease, the sale-leaseback transaction
was recorded in the Companys quarter ended April 30, 2005 as a financing transaction under which
the sale would not be recorded until the option expired or was otherwise terminated.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company amended the sale-leaseback agreement with
the landlord to immediately terminate the Companys option to acquire the leased properties.
Accordingly, the Company finalized the sale of the property by disposing of the remaining net book
value of its corporate office facility in Sunnyvale, California and the corresponding value of the
land resulting in a loss on disposal of approximately $12.2 million. This loss was offset by the
reduction in the carrying value of the financing liability and other related accounts by
approximately $11.9 million, resulting in the recognition of a net loss on the sale of this
property of approximately $343,000 during the three months ended August 3, 2008. As of August 3,
2008, the carrying value of the property and the financing liability had been reduced to zero.

The gross realized gains and losses for the three months ended August 2, 2009 and August 3,
2008 were immaterial. Realized gains and losses were calculated based on the specific
identification method.
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 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 and also recorded a $735,000 loss as the Company determined that the
carrying value of these shares was other than temporarily impaired.
9. Minority Investments
The carrying value of minority investments at August 2, 2009 and April 30, 2009 is $14.3
million, respectively and comprises of the Companys minority investment in four privately held
companies accounted for under the cost method.
During the first quarter 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 sale of product line was related
to its Network Tools Division which was sold to JDS Uniphase in the first quarter of fiscal 2010
and accounted as discontinued operations. For accounting purposes, no value had been 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.

As discussed in Note 2, the Company adopted the provisions of FSP APB 14-1 in the first
quarter of fiscal 2010. FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments
that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability
(debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the
issuers non-convertible debt borrowing rate. The separation of the conversion option creates an
original issue discount in the bond component which is to be accreted as interest expense over the
term of the instrument using the interest method, resulting in an increase in interest expense and
a decrease in net income and earnings per share. The provisions of this FSP apply to the Companys
$92 million aggregate principal amount of 2.5% 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%. FSP APB 14-1 requires
retrospective application to all periods presented. Accordingly, prior period balances have been
restated to effectively record a debt discount equal to the fair value of the equity component and
an increase to paid-in capital for the fair value of the equity component as of the date of
issuance of the underlying notes. Prior period balances have also been adjusted to provide for the
amortization of the debt discount through interest expense (non-cash interest cost).
FSP APB 14-1 also requires the debt issuance costs to be allocated to the equity component
based on the percentage split between the liability and equity component of the debt. Accordingly,
the Company has allocated $700,000 of the total debt issuance costs of $1.9 million to the equity
component. The remaining $1.2 million of debt issuance cost will continue to be amortized over the
expected life of the debt on a straight line basis. Prior period amounts of amortization of debt
issuance costs have been adjusted accordingly.
The following table reflects the Companys previously reported amounts, along with the
adjusted amounts reflecting the adoption of FSP APB 14-1.

Interest (cash interest cost) on the 2.5% 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 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 Finisar 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 of the Company, 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
Finisar common stock. At August 2, 2009, the if-converted value of the Convertible Senior
Subordinated Notes did not exceed the principal balance.
At August 2, 2009, the $6.5 million unamortized debt discount had a remaining amortization
period of approximately 14 months. On August 11, 2009 the Company repurchased $14.4 million
principal amount of 2.5% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes under exchange offers which
commenced on July 16, 2009. See Note 26 for additional details regarding these exchange offers.

In July 2008, the Companys Malaysian subsidiary entered into two separate loan agreements
with a Malaysian bank. Under these agreements, the Companys Malaysian subsidiary borrowed a total
of $20 million at an initial interest rate of 5.05% per annum. 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 the Companys Malaysian subsidiary, guaranteed by the Company and subject to
certain covenants. The Company was in compliance with all covenants associated with these loans as
of August 2, 2009 and April 30, 2009. At August 2, 2009, the principal balance outstanding under
these loans was $16.7 million. As of August 2, 2009, the Company recorded $4.0 million of this
debt, as Current portion of long-term debt and recorded the remaining $12.7 million as Long-term
debt, net of current portion on the consolidated balance sheet. At April 30, 2009, the principal

$4.0 million of this debt, as Current portion of long-term debt and recorded the remaining $13.7
million as Long-term debt, net of current portion on the consolidated balance sheet.
13. Revolving Line of Credit Agreement
On March 14, 2008, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit agreement with Silicon
Valley Bank which, as previously amended, was further amended on July 15, 2009. The amended credit
facility allows for advances in the aggregate amount of $25 million subject to certain restrictions
and limitations. Borrowings under this line are 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%. The maturity date is July 15,
2010. The facility is subject to financial covenants including an adjusted quick ratio covenant and
an EBITDA covenant which are tested as of the last day of each month. The Company was in compliance
with all covenants associated with this facility as of August 2, 2009 and April 30, 2009. There
were no outstanding borrowings under this revolving line of credit at August 2, 2009 or April 30,
2009.
14. 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 will 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 is unsecured but includes
a negative pledge that requires that the Company will not create 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 August 2, 2009 and April 30, 2009 totaled $3.4
million and $3.4 million, respectively.
24
15. Non-recourse Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement
On October 28, 2004, the Company entered into an 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
may 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 are purchased by
Silicon Valley Bank. In these non-recourse sales, the Company removes 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 SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. 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 months ended August 2, 2009, the Company did not sell any receivables under
the facility. During the three months ended August 3, 2008, the Company sold receivables totaling
$5.2 million, respectively, under this facility.
16. 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 recognized. Factors that affect the Companys warranty liability
include the historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims. The Company periodically assesses
the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.
Changes in the Companys warranty liability during the following period were as follows (in

Employee Stock Option Plans
In September 1999, Finisars 1999 Stock Option Plan was adopted by the board of directors and
approved by the stockholders. An amendment and restatement of the 1999 Stock Option Plan, including
renaming it the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2005 Plan), was approved by the board of directors
in September 2005 and by the stockholders in October 2005. A total of 21,000,000 shares of common
stock were initially reserved for issuance under the 2005 Plan. The share reserve automatically
increases on May 1 of each calendar year by a number of shares equal to 5% of the number of shares
of Finisars common stock issued and outstanding as of the immediately preceding April 30, subject
to certain restrictions on the aggregate maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to
incentive stock options. The types of stock-based awards available under the 2005 Plan include
stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units (RSUs) and other stock-based
awards which vest upon the attainment of designated performance goals or the satisfaction of
specified service requirements or, in the case of certain RSUs or other stock-based awards, become
payable upon the expiration of a designated time period following such vesting events. Options
generally vest over five years and have a maximum term of 10 years. As of August 2, 2009, there
were no shares subject to repurchase.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company issued
7,215 and 7,526 RSUs, respectively, under the 2005 Plan. Typically, vesting of RSUs occurs over one
to four years and is subject to the employees continuing service to the Company. The compensation
expense related to these awards of $36,945 and $96,878 for first quarter fiscal 2009 and first
quarter of fiscal 2010, respectively, was determined using the fair market value of the Companys
common stock on the date of the grant and is recognized using a straight line method over the
awards vesting period.
The aggregate intrinsic value of RSUs outstanding at August 2, 2009 was $4.7 million.
As of August 2, 2009, the Company had $3.0 million of unrecognized compensation expense, net
of estimated forfeitures, related to RSUs grants. These expenses are expected to be recognized over
a weighted-average period of 15 months.

The total stock-based compensation capitalized as part of inventory as of August 2, 2009 was
$672,000.
As of August 2, 2009, total compensation cost related to unvested stock options not yet
recognized was approximately $13.7 million which is expected to be recognized over the next 29
months.
The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
single option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

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 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.
Acceleration of Vesting of Certain Options and RSUs
During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company partially accelerated certain outstanding
options and restricted stock units held by the employees of the Network Tools Division the assets
of which were sold to JDSU during the quarter. This acceleration of vesting was treated as a
modification of the award in accordance with SFAS 123R. Incremental stock compensation expense of
$99,000 was recorded in loss from discontinued operations.
Extension of Stock Option Exercise Periods for Former Employees
As more fully described in Note 22, Pending Litigation- Stock option Derivative, the Company
could not issue shares of its common stock under its registration statements on Form S-8 during the
period in which it was not current in its obligations to file periodic reports under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (34 Act) due to the pending investigation into its historical stock option
grant practices,. As a result, during parts of 2006 and 2007, vested options held by certain
former employees of the Company could not be exercised until the completion of the Companys stock
option investigation and the Companys report filings under the 34 Act had been made current. As a
result, the Company extended the expiration date of these stock options to June 30, 2008. This
extension was treated as a modification of the award in accordance with SFAS 123R. As a result of
the extension, the fair value related to these stock options had been reclassified to current
liabilities subsequent to the modification and was subject to mark-to-market accounting each
reporting period until the earlier of the final settlement or June 30, 2008. The remaining accrued
balance for these stock options as of April 30, 2008 was approximately $341,000.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company recognized a benefit of approximately
$332,000 as a result of a decrease in the fair value of these options on June 30, 2008. The
remaining accrued balance of $9,000 related to these stock options was reclassified to equity as of
August 3, 2008. These transactions represented the final settlement of these options.
27
18. Income Taxes
The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $159,000 and $746,000, respectively, for
the three months ended August 2, 2009 and August 3, 2008. The provision for income tax expense for
the three months ended August 3, 2008 includes non-cash charges of $551,000 for deferred tax
liabilities that were recorded for tax amortization of goodwill for which no financial statement
amortization has occurred under generally accepted accounting principles. The $159,000 provision
for income tax expense for the three months ended August 2, 2009 includes minimum state taxes 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 August 3, 2008 have been fully offset by a valuation allowance.
A portion of the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets at August 2, 2009 relates to the
tax benefits of stock option deductions the tax benefit of which will be credited to paid-in
capital if and when realized, and thereafter, 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 April 30, 2009 and August 2, 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 were 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, 2010.
The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax
expense. At August 2, 2009, there were no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax
positions. The Company recorded no interest or penalties for the quarter ended August 2, 2009.
On May 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of FSP APB-14-1 on a retrospective basis
which requires the issuer of convertible debt instruments with cash settlement features to
separately account for the liability and equity components of the instrument. As a result of the
adoption of FSP APB 14-1, the Company has separately accounted for the liability and equity
components of its 2.5% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010. The Company calculated the
value of the conversion component of the debt and recorded this value as a component of equity and
a corresponding debt discount. The debt discount, which is a reduction to the carrying value of
the debt, will be amortized as additional non-cash interest expense over the term of the original
note. The retrospective application of this pronouncement affects all periods presented. There
are no income tax benefits related to the non-cash interest expense over the term of the original
note due to the valuation allowances for deferred tax assets
19. Segments
Prior to first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of
the Board viewed the 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.

21. Restructuring Charges
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. See Note 9 for additional
details regarding the sale of this product line.
As of August 2, 2009 and April 30, 2009, $700,000 and $900,000, respectively, of committed
facilities payments related to restructuring activities remained accrued all of which is expected
to be fully utilized by the end of fiscal 2011.
22. 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
29
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.
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 Courts ruling on the motions remains pending.
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) 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. The Court has yet to set a case schedule.
Requests for Re-Examination of the 505 Patent
Four requests for re-examination of the Companys 505 patent have been filed with the PTO.
The 505 patent is the patent that is in dispute in the DirecTV and EchoStar lawsuits. The PTO has
granted each of these requests, and these proceedings have been combined into a single
re-examination. During the re-examination, some or all of the claims in the 505 patent could be
invalidated or revised to narrow their scope, either of which could have a material adverse impact
on the Companys position in the related 505 lawsuits.
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 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 July 2004, the Company and the individual defendants accepted a settlement proposal made to
all of the issuer defendants. Under the terms of the settlement, the plaintiffs would dismiss and
release all claims against participating defendants in exchange for a contingent payment guaranty
by the insurance companies collectively responsible for insuring the issuers in all related cases,
and the assignment or surrender to the plaintiffs of certain claims the issuer defendants may have
against the underwriters. Under the guaranty, the insurers would have been required to pay the
amount, if any, by which $1 billion exceeds the aggregate amount ultimately collected by the
plaintiffs from the underwriter defendants in all the cases. If the plaintiffs failed to recover
$1 billion and payment was required under the guaranty, the Company would have been responsible to
pay its pro rata portion of the shortfall, up to the amount of the self-insured retention under its
insurance policy, which could have been up to $2 million. The Court gave preliminary approval to
the settlement in February 2005. Before the Court issued a final decision on the settlement, on
December 5, 2006, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit vacated the class
certification of plaintiffs claims against the underwriters in six cases designated as focus or
test cases. Thereafter, the parties withdrew the settlement.
In February 2009, the parties reached an understanding regarding the principal elements of a
settlement, subject to formal documentation and Court approval. On June 10, 2009, the Court granted
preliminary approval of the settlement and on September 10, 2009 took the settlement under
advisement pending final approval of the settlement terms. Under the new proposed 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. 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 for the quarter ended August 2, 2009 and recorded as operating expense.
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
31
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
Litigation is pending with JDS Uniphase Corporation and Emcore Corporation with respect to
certain cable television transmission products acquired in connection with the Companys
acquisition of Optium Corporation. On September 11, 2006, JDSU and Emcore filed a complaint in the
United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania alleging that the Companys
1550 nm HFC externally modulated transmitter used in cable television applications, in addition to
possibly products as yet unidentified, infringes on two U.S. 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. The plaintiffs are seeking for the court to declare that Optium
has willfully infringed on such patents and to be awarded up to three times the amount of any
compensatory damages found, if any, plus any other damages and costs incurred. The Company has
answered both of these complaints denying that it has infringed any of the asserted patents and
asserting that those patents are invalid. 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. The court has consolidated the remaining two actions and has scheduled a
single trial to begin October 19, 2009. The Company is unable to determine the ultimate outcome of
this litigation.
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.
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.
32
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.
23. 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 are not material.
Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any liabilities for these agreements as of August 2,
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 12. 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 August 2, 2009, was $16.7 million.
24. 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 $21.6
million from Fabrinet during the three months ended August 3, 2008 and Fabrinet purchased products
from the Company totaling to $13.0 million during the same period.
During the three months ended August 2, 2009, the Company paid a sales and marketing
consultant, who is the brother of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, $36,700 in cash
compensation.
Amounts paid to related parties represented values considered by management to be fair and
reasonable, reflective of an arms length transaction.
25. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments presents amounts
that have been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation
methodologies. The estimated fair values of the Companys financial instruments as of August 2,
2009 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Convertible notes -The fair value of convertible notes is estimated using the price from the
repurchase transaction that the Company completed during August 2009.
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 August 2,
2009, the carrying value of its minority investments is $14.3 million which represents the original
cost of the investment, which management believes is not impaired as of August 2, 2009.
26. Subsequent Events
Settlement of Exchange Offer
On July 9, 2009, the Company announced that it had commenced separate concurrent Modified
Dutch Auction tender offers (each an Exchange Offer and together, the Exchange Offers) to
exchange shares of its common stock and cash for an aggregate of up to $95 million principal amount
of the following series of its outstanding convertible notes (the Notes):
|
- |
|
2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2010 (the Subordinated Notes); and |
|
|
- |
|
2.50% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010 (the Senior Subordinated Notes) |
The Company offered to exchange up to an aggregate of $37.5 million principal amount, or
75%, of the outstanding Subordinated Notes and an aggregate of $57.5 million principal amount, or
62.5%, of the outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes.
Under the Exchange offers, as amended, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes,
tendering holders were entitled to receive consideration with a value not greater than $870 nor
less than $820 (the Exchange Consideration), with such value determined by a Modified Dutch
Auction procedure, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the settlement date,
payable in cash. A
separate Modified Dutch Auction procedure was conducted for each of the Exchange Offers. A
Modified Dutch Auction tender offer allows holders of the Notes to indicate the principal amount
of Notes that such holders desire to tender and the consideration within the specified range at
which they wish to tender such Notes. The mix of Exchange Consideration consisted of (i) $525 in
cash, and (ii) a number of shares of common stock with a value equal to the Exchange Consideration
minus $525 (the Equity Consideration). The number of shares of common stock representing the
Equity Consideration to be received by holders as part of Exchange Consideration was determined on
the basis of the trading price of the common stock during a 5-trading day VWAP period (the 5-day
VWAP) starting on July 13 and ending on July 17, 2009.
The Exchange Offers expired on Thursday, August 6, 2009. On August 11, 2009, the Company
announced the final results of the Exchange. The Company exchanged $47,504,000 aggregate principal
amount of the Notes. The Company issued approximately 3.5 million shares of common stock and paid
out approximately $24.9 million in cash..
34
The Company accepted for exchange the following approximate principal amount of each series of
Notes:
|
(i) |
|
$33,100,000, or 66.2%, of the $50,000,000 aggregate outstanding principal amount of Subordinated Notes; and |
|
|
(ii) |
|
$14,404,000, or approximately 15.7%, of the $92,000,000 aggregate outstanding principal amount of Senior
Subordinated Notes. |
Repurchase of Senior Subordinated Notes
On September 8, 2009, the Company repurchased $15.2 million principal amount of its Senior
Subordinated Notes in a privately negotiated transaction. For each $1,000 principal amount of the
Notes, the Company paid $952 in cash, for a total purchase price of $14.5 million plus accrued
interest of $154,000.
After the repurchase and the settlement of the Exchange Offers discussed above, approximately
$79.3 million aggregate principal amount of Notes remained outstanding.
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, which is referred to as the
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
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 initial
advance under the credit facility will occur following the
satisfaction of certain conditions precedent.

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 condensed
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 connect 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 used in building these 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. 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 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 components into product
designs previously purchased in the open market by Optium. 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. The Optium results are included in our optical subsystems and
components segment.
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 Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived
Assets, the assets and liabilities, results of operations and cash flows related to the business,
have been classified as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements
for all periods presented.
36
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 FSP APB14-1 (see Note 1 to condensed consolidated financial statements).

Revenues. Revenues from continuing operations increased $13.0 million, or 11.2%, to $128.7
million in the quarter ended August 2, 2009 compared to $115.8 million in the quarter ended August
3, 2008. The increase was due to the inclusion of $28.8 million revenues from Optiums operations,
consisting of $14.1 million in sales of Metro/Telecom products with speeds of 10 Gbs and higher,
$11.0 million in sales of ROADM products and $3.7 million in sales of CATV products. Revenue from
pre-merger Finisar products decreased $15.9 million, or 13.7%, to $99.9 million compared to $115.8
million in the quarter ended August 3, 2008. While this decrease was primarily due to the global
recession, sales of products with speeds of 10 Gbs and higher increased while sales of products
with speeds of less than 10 Gbs declined. Sales of LAN and SAN products with speeds of less than 10
Gbs decreased $12.0 million, or 26.1%, to $34.0 million while sales of LAN and SAN products with
speeds of 10 Gbs and higher increased $3.1 million, or 30.8%, to $13.1 million. Sales of
Metro/Telecom products with speeds of less than 10 Gbs decreased $7.0 million, or 23.1%, to 23.4
million while sales of Metro/Telecom products with speeds of 10 Gbs and higher increased $2.1
million, or 9.4%, to $24.3 million. Sales of components decreased $2.3 million, or 32.9%, to $4.8
million. Combined sales of Metro/Telecom products with speeds of 10 Gbs and higher increased $16.2
million, or 73.1%, to $38.4 million.
Amortization of Acquired Developed Technology. Amortization of acquired developed technology
related to continuing operations, a component of cost of revenues, increased $343,000, or 40.4%, in
the quarter ended August 2, 2009 to $1.2 million compared to $850,000 in the quarter ended August
3, 2008. The increase was primarily due to the addition of $605,000 related to the Optium merger
offset by full amortization during fiscal 2009 of the assets associated with the Kodeos
acquisition.
Gross Profit. Gross profit from continuing operations decreased $11.4 million, or 27.9%, to
$29.4 million in the quarter ended August 2, 2009 compared to $40.8 million in the quarter ended
August 3, 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 22.8% in the quarter ended August 2,
2009 compared to 35.2% in the quarter ended August 3, 2008. We recorded charges of $9.2 million for
obsolete and excess inventory in the quarter ended August 2, 2009 compared to $2.6 million in the
quarter ended August 3, 2008. We sold inventory that was written-off in previous periods resulting
in a benefit of $2.7 million in the quarter ended August 2, 2009 and $1.8 million in the quarter
ended August 3, 2008. As a result, we recognized a net charge of $6.5 million in the quarter ended
August 2, 2009 compared to $800,000 in the quarter ended August 3, 2008. Manufacturing overhead
includes stock-based compensation charges of $1.0 million in the quarter ended August 2, 2009 and
$821,000 in the quarter ended August 3, 2008. Excluding
37
amortization of acquired developed
technology, the net impact of excess and obsolete inventory charges and stock-based compensation
charges, gross profit would have been $38.1 million, or 29.6% of revenue, in the quarter ended
August 2, 2009 compared to $43.3 million, or 37.4% of revenue in the quarter ended August 3, 2008.
The decrease in adjusted gross profit margin resulted from many factors including lower
manufacturing volume, reduced pricing on our slower speed products, lower yield rates on our higher
speed components and sales of certain lower margin products acquired in the Optium merger.
Manufacturing overhead costs, including those related to Optiums operations, increased by 3.2%
compared to the combined increase in revenue of 11.2% suggesting that we have achieved some
manufacturing cost synergies as a result of the Optium merger.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses of continuing operations
increased $3.6 million, or 20.9%, to $21.0 million in the quarter ended August 2, 2009 compared to
$17.4 million in the quarter ended August 3, 2008. The increase was due to Optium merger. Included
in research and development expenses were stock-based compensation charges of $1.5 million in the
quarter ended August 2, 2009 and $860,000 in the quarter ended August 3, 2008. Research and
development expenses as a percent of revenues increased to 16.4% in the quarter ended August 2,
2009 compared to 15.0% in the quarter ended August 3, 2008.
Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses of continuing operations decreased
$57,000, or 0.8% , to $6.8 million in the quarter ended August 2, 2009 compared to $6.9 million in
the quarter ended August 3, 2008. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses inspite of an
increase in sales of 11.2% was primarily due to cost savings derived from modifications to our
sales commission plan structure which reduced commissions expense. Included in sales and marketing
expenses were stock-based compensation charges of $578,000 in the quarter ended August 2, 2009 and
$327,000 in the quarter ended August 3, 2008. Sales and marketing expenses as a percent of
revenues decreased to 5.3% in the quarter ended August 2, 2009 compared to 5.9% in the quarter
ended August 3, 2008.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses of continuing
operations increased $1.2 million, or 13.6%, to $9.7 million in the quarter ended August 2, 2009
compared to $8.5 million in the quarter ended August 3, 2008. The increase was primarily due to
personnel related costs due to the Optium merger. Included in general and administrative expenses
were stock-based compensation charges of $1.0 million in the quarter ended August 2, 2009 and
$515,000 in the quarter ended August 3, 2008. General and administrative expenses as a percent of
revenues increased slightly to 7.5% of revenues in the quarter August 2, 2009 compared to 7.4% in
the quarter ended August 3, 2008.
Amortization of Purchased Intangibles. Amortization of purchased intangibles increased
$572,000, or 443.4% , to $701,000 in the quarter ended August 2, 2009 compared to $129,000 in the
quarter ended August 3, 2008. The increase was primarily due to the Optium merger.
Interest Income. Interest income decreased $958,000, or 99.0%, to $10,000 in the quarter
ended August 2, 2009 compared to $968,000 in the quarter ended August 3, 2008. The decrease was
primarily due to a decrease in our cash balances related to the purchase and repayment of $100.3
million of our convertible subordinated notes in the second half of fiscal 2009.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $2.8 million, or 53.6%, to $2.4 million in the
quarter ended August 2, 2009 compared to $5.2 million in the quarter ended August 3, 2008. The
decrease was primarily related to the purchase and repayment of $100.3 million of our convertible
subordinated notes in the second half of fiscal 2009. Interest expense for the quarter ended August
2, 2009 included $927,000 related to our convertible subordinated notes due in 2010, $262,000
related to other various debt instruments and a non-cash charge of $1.2 million due to the adoption
of FSP APB 14-1 which requires us to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity
(conversion option) components of our 2.5% senior subordinated convertible notes that may be
settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion in a manner that reflects our non-convertible debt
borrowing rate. The separation of conversion option creates an original issue discount in the bond
component which is to be accreted as interest expense over the term of the instrument using the
interest method, resulting in an increase in interest expense. Interest expense for the quarter
ended August 3, 2008 included $2.2 million related to our convertible subordinated notes due in
2008 and 2010, $626,000 related to other various debt instruments, a non-cash charge of $1.2
million related to the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 and a non-cash charge of $1.1 million to amortize
the beneficial conversion feature of the notes due in 2008.
Other Income (Expense), Net. Other income was $253,000 in the quarter ended August 2, 2009
compared to $103,000 in the quarter ended August 3, 2008. Other expense in both periods primarily
consisted of subordinated loan costs offset by gains on the sale of certain equity investments.
Provision for Income Taxes. We recorded income tax provisions of $159,000 and $746,000,
respectively, for the quarters ended August 2, 2009 and August 3, 2008. The income tax provision
for the quarter ended August 2, 2009 primarily represents current minimum foreign income taxes
arising in certain jurisdictions in which we conduct business. The income tax provision for the
quarter ended August 3, 2008 included a non-cash charge of $551,000 for deferred tax liabilities
that were recorded for tax amortization of goodwill for which no financial statement amortization
has occurred under U.S. GAAP and current tax expense of $195,000 for minimum federal and state and
foreign taxes arising in certain jurisdictions in which we conduct business. Due to the
uncertainty regarding the timing and extent of our future profitability, we have recorded a
valuation allowance to offset our deferred tax assets
38
which represent future income tax benefits
associated with our operating losses. There can be no assurance that our deferred tax assets
subject to the valuation allowance will ever be realized.
Income from Discontinued Operation, Net of Taxes. As discussed above, on July 15, 2009, we
completed the sale of certain assets related to our Network Tools Division to JDSU for $40.6
million in cash. In accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets, the results of operations of our Network Tools Division business unit through
July 15, 2009, have been classified and reported as discontinued operations. Income from
discontinued operations for the quarter ended August 2, 2009 was $37.1 million, including a gain on
the sale of the business unit of $36.1 million compared to a loss of $125,000 in the quarter ended
August 3, 2008. The loss in the quarter ended August 3, 2008 was primarily attributable to a charge
of $919,000 related to the sale of a product line.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows From Operating Activities
Net cash used by operating activities was $16.5 million in the quarter ended August 2, 2009,
compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $3.3 million in the quarter ended August
3, 2008. Cash used by operating activities in the quarter ended August 2, 2009 was due to our net
loss as adjusted to exclude depreciation, amortization and other non-cash related items in the
income statement totaling to $15.7 million and changes in working capital requirements which were
primarily related to a increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in other accrued liabilities.
Accounts receivable increased by $17.6 million primarily due to no sales of accounts receivable
under our non-recourse accounts receivable purchase agreement with Silicon Valley Bank during the
first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $5.2 million sold in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
Other accrued liabilities decreased by $5.7 million mainly due to repayment of $5.7 million to
Silicon Valley Bank which was borrowed against the line of credit available under the non-recourse
accounts receivable purchase agreement . Net cash provided by operating activities in the quarter
ended August 3, 2008 was due to our net income as adjusted to exclude depreciation, amortization
and other non-cash related items in the income statement totaling $14.5 million and changes in
working capital requirements which were primarily related to increases in accounts receivable,
inventories and accounts payable.
Cash Flows From Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $38.8 million in the quarter ended August 2,
2009 compared to $3.2 million in the quarter ended August 3, 2008. Net cash provided by investing
activities in the quarter ended August 2, 2009 was primarily due to the $40.7 cash received from
sale the assets of our Network Tools Division to JDSU on July 15, 2009. We also received $1.2
million cash from the sale of a product line made in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 which was
recorded as a gain from sales of a product line in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. This gain was
partially offset by $3.2 million of expenditures for capital equipment. Net cash provided by
investing activities in the quarter ended August 3, 2008 was primarily related to the net
maturities of available-for-sale investments offset by purchases of equipment to support production
expansion.
Cash Flows From Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled to $875,000 in the quarter ended August
2,2009 compared to $10.6 million in the quarter ended August 3, 2008. Cash provided by financing
activities for the quarter ended August 2, 2009 primarily reflected proceeds from the exercise of
stock options and purchases under our stock purchase plan totaling $2.4 million, partially offset
by repayments of borrowings totaling $1.5 million. Cash provided by financing activities for the
quarter ended August 3, 2008 primarily reflected proceeds of $20 million from bank borrowings and
proceeds from the exercise of stock options and purchases under our stock purchase plan totaling
$3.1 million, partially offset by repayments of borrowings of $12.5 million.
Cash Requirements
Our anticipated cash requirements for the next 12 months are primarily to fund:

At August 2, 2009, total long-term debt and convertible debt was $161.9 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 August 2, 2009, the remaining principal balance outstanding
under this note was $3.2 million. This note is payable in 60 equal monthly installments beginning
in January 2006 and is secured by certain property and equipment. Long-term debt also includes
borrowings made by our Malaysian subsidiary under two separate loan agreements entered by them 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 were in compliance
with all covenants associated with these loans as of August 2, 2009. At August 2, 2009, the
principal balance outstanding under these loans was $16.7 million.
Convertible debt consists of a series of convertible subordinated notes in the aggregate
principal amount of $50.0 million due October 15, 2010 and a series of convertible senior
subordinated notes in the aggregate principal amount of $92.0 million due October 15, 2010. 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 both series of notes are approximately $3.6 million. On
August 11, 2009, we exchanged $47,504,000 aggregate principal amount of the notes under exchange
offers which commenced on July 9, 2009. We settled $33,100,000, or 66.2%, of the $50,000,000
aggregate outstanding principal amount of 21/2% Convertible
Subordinated Notes due 2010; and $14,404,000, or approximately 15.7%, of the $92,000,000 aggregate
outstanding principal amount of 21/2% Convertible Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2010. On September 8, 2009, we repurchased $15.2 million principal amount of our Senior
Subordinated Notes in a privately negotiated transaction. For each $1,000 principal amount of the
Notes, we paid $952 in cash, for a total purchase price of $14.5 million plus accrued interest of
$154,000.After the repurchase and the settlement of the Exchange Offers discussed above,
approximately $79.3 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 $657,000 have been expensed and
recorded on the balance sheet as non-cancelable purchase obligations as of August 2, 2009.
Sources of liquidity
At August 2, 2009, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $60.4 million of cash, cash
equivalents and available-for-sale investments and an aggregate of $45 million available under
various credit facilities with Silicon Valley Bank subject to certain restrictions and limitations.
Available Credit Facilities
On March 14, 2008, we entered into a revolving line of credit agreement with Silicon Valley
Bank. Under the terms of the agreement, the bank provided a $50 million revolving line of credit
that was available to us through March 13, 2009. On October 28, 2008, this agreement was amended to
decrease the amount available under the revolving line to $45 million, subject to certain
restrictions and limitations and to extend the term of the credit facility through July 15, 2010.
On July 15, 2009, this agreement was amended further to decrease the amount available under the
revolving line to $25 million. Borrowings under this line are collateralized by substantially all
of our assets except our intellectual property rights and bear interest, at our option, at either
the banks prime rate plus 0.5% or LIBOR plus 3.0%. The facility is subject to financial covenants
including an adjusted quick ratio covenant and an EBITDA covenant which are tested as of the last
day of each month.. There were no outstanding borrowings under this revolving line of credit at
August 2, 2009.
40
On April 29, 2005, we entered into a letter of credit reimbursement agreement with Silicon
Valley Bank. There have been several amendments to this agreement, the latest being on April 30,
2009. Under the terms of the latest amended agreement, Silicon Valley Bank will 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 we may
require. Outstanding letters of credit secured under this agreement at August 2, 2009 totaled $3.4
million.
On October 24, 2004, we entered into a non-recourse accounts receivable purchase agreement
with Silicon Valley Bank. There have been several amendments to this agreement, the latest being on
October 28, 2008. Under the terms of the amended agreement, we may 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 are purchased by Silicon Valley Bank. During the three months
ended August 2, 2009 and August 3, 2008, the Company sold receivables totaling $0 million, and $5.2
million, respectively, under this facility.
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, which is referred to as the 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 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 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. The initial advance under the
credit facility will occur following the satisfaction of certain conditions
precedent. We expect that these conditions will be satisfied, and that
funding will be available under the credit facility, by the end of October
2009. We will use the initial advance to repay any indebtedness
outstanding under Finisars existing $45 million credit facility with another
bank, and thereafter terminate that credit facility.
We believe that our existing balances of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments,
together with the cash expected to be generated from our future operations, 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 and we will
require additional financing to repay all of our remaining convertible subordinated notes which
mature in October 2010. 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 August 2, 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.
41
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 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 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 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 were made during the quarter ended August 2, 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 August 2, 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 22. Pending Litigation for
a description of pending legal proceedings, including material developments in certain of those
proceedings during the quarter ended August 2, 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. THE RISK
FACTORS DESCRIBED BELOW DO NOT CONTAIN ANY
42
MATERIAL CHANGES FROM THOSE PREVIOUSLY DISCLOSED IN ITEM 1A OF OUR ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED APRIL 30, 2009.
We may have insufficient cash flow to meet our debt service obligations, including payments due on
our subordinated convertible notes.
We will be required to generate cash sufficient to conduct our business operations and pay our
indebtedness and other liabilities, including all amounts due on our outstanding 21/2% convertible
senior subordinated notes due October 15, 2010 totaling $77.6 million as of August 2, 2009 and our
21/2% convertible subordinated notes due October 15, 2010 totaling $16.9 million
Our existing balances of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are not sufficient
to repay these notes, and we may not be able to cover our future debt service obligations from our
operating cash flow. We have recently implemented a series of cost control measures, but these
measures alone will not be sufficient to generate the cash necessary to repay our outstanding
notes. Our ability to meet our future debt service obligations will depend upon our future
performance, which will be subject to financial, business and other factors affecting our
operations, many of which are beyond our control. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be
able to make required principal and interest payments on the notes due in 2010.
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 the principal of our outstanding convertible subordinated
notes which mature in October 2010. 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 2007, 2008
and 2009, respectively. Gross profit and operating profit margins on sales of network performance
test products have generally been higher than on our optical subsystem and component products.
Accordingly, we expect that our revenues and profitability will be adversely affected following the
sale unless and until we are able to achieve significant growth in our optical subsystems and
components business.
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; |
|
|
|
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;
|
43
|
|
|
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. |
44
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. |
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.
45
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 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.
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 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
46
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 42% of our revenues in first
quarter of fiscal 2010 and 46% of its 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 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
47
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 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, 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
48
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 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.
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.
49
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 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.
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 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
50
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.
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 quarter 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. In fiscal 2003, we wrote off $12.0 million
in two investments which became impaired. In fiscal 2004, we wrote off $1.6 million in two
additional investments, and in fiscal 2005, we wrote off $10.0 million in another investment.
During fiscal 2006, we reclassified $4.2 million of an investment associated with the Infineon
acquisition to goodwill as the investment was deemed to have no value. During fiscal 2009, we wrote
off $1.2 million for another investment that became impaired. We may be required to write off all
or a portion of the $14.3 million in such investments remaining on our balance sheet as of August
2, 2009 in future periods.
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
51
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 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 are currently defending 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
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.
52
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. We cannot predict whether these actions are likely to result in any
material recovery by, or expense to, us. We expect to continue to incur legal fees in responding to
these lawsuits, including expenses for the reimbursement of legal fees of present and former
officers and directors under indemnification obligations. The expense of defending such litigation
may be significant. The amount of time to resolve these and any additional 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
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.
After the settlement of our exchange offer on August 11, 2009 we have outstanding 21/2%
convertible senior subordinated notes due 2010 in the principal amount of $77.6 million and 21/2%
convertible subordinated notes due 2010 in the principal amount of $16.9 million. The $16.9 million
in principal amount of our 21/2% 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
$77.6 million in principal amount of our 21/2% senior 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 1,556,000 shares of
common stock would be issued upon the conversion of all outstanding convertible subordinated 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 subordinated 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; |
|
|
|
|
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
|
53
|
|
|
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; |
|
|
|
|
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.
