On November 7, 2005, we announced a one-for-seven reverse split of our common stock. The effective date of the reverse stock split was November 9, 2005. All share, share equivalent and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.
 
Products and Technologies
 
We provide a broad line of fiber optic subsystems and components designed to satisfy the needs of communications equipment suppliers. We categorize our products by the functionalities provided within a network, namely, bandwidth creation and bandwidth management. Some of our products have attributes that combine both of these functions. Some of our bandwidth creation and bandwidth management products utilize telecommunication interfaces to provide local or remote, reporting and control to enhance their function in an optical network. Sales of our bandwidth creation products accounted for 69%, 65% and 67% of our revenues in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
 
Bandwidth Creation Products
 
Communications equipment suppliers use our bandwidth creation products to expand the capacity and/or extend the coverage of their customers’ networks. Other bandwidth creation products enable optical signals to travel along more complex network architectures such as mesh networks and metro networks, or enable optical signals to travel greater distances over traditional long haul networks.
 
Wavelength Expansion Products.  In fiber optic communications, different signals are transmitted over multiple wavelengths. With increases in the number of wavelengths and data rates, spacing between the wavelengths narrows and it becomes increasingly difficult to separate and direct them. We offer wavelength expansion products that are designed to enable the combination and separation of a particular wavelength in all parts of the network including emerging access and metro networks and traditional long haul networks. Wavelength expansion products include wavelength multiplexing (combining), de-multiplexing (separating), and wavelength interleaving, which combines light signals from two or more simultaneous sources over a single fiber. We offer the following products to handle these tasks:
 
  •  Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexers.  A dense wavelength division multiplexer, or DWDM, is a solution for scalable, reliable, protocol independent bandwidth creation. A DWDM multiplexer is an integrated optical module or subsystem that combines two or more wavelengths for transmission over a single fiber (multiplexing) or separates these wavelengths (demultiplexing) at the receiving end. Our DWDM module and subsystem solutions are derived from an array of high performance technologies including thin film filters and arrayed wave guides, or AWGs. Our solutions are available in a variety of channel spacings.

Table of Contents

 
  •  Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexers.  A coarse wavelength division multiplexer, or CWDM, is a solution for cost-effective bandwidth creation in the access, cable TV and metro environments. A CWDM multiplexer is an integrated optical module or subsystem that combines two or more wavelengths, at a channel spacing that is many times wider than for standard DWDM channel spacing for multiplexing or demultiplexing.
 
  •  Band Wavelength Division Multiplexers.  Band wavelength division multiplexer, or BWDM, products help manage multiple International Telecommunication Union, or ITU, channels within multiplexer/demultiplexer (Mux/Demux) or optical add/drop applications. Our BWDMs pass a band of channels while isolating the channels adjacent to the band of channels sent. BWDM products facilitate the design of flexible (pay as you grow) low loss architectures as well as enable the design of complex mesh and ring networks. We offer a variety of BWDM products at 50, 100 and 200 GHz spacing.
 
  •  DWDM Interleavers.  A DWDM interleaver is an optical component that combines light signals from two simultaneous sources over a single fiber, which effectively doubles the capacity of the optical network system, or separates a single light source into multiple signals.
 
Optical Amplification Products.  Optical fiber amplifiers are widely deployed in optical communications networks to enhance the optical signal power. Optical signals typically lose power and eventually are lost after traveling a long distance along an optical fiber in traditional long haul networks. In emerging access or metro networks, optical signals lose power at add/drop nodes, which are those locations in a network where wavelength channels enter or exit the node. This power loss is referred to as attenuation. Through recent advances in technology, the optical signal can be amplified with Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers, or EDFAs, or with Raman amplifiers, neither of which require opto-electrical conversion. The amplifiers are arranged along fiber cable lines at regular intervals in long haul networks or at selected nodes in access and metro networks to enable the optical signal to reach its destination clearly. While amplifiers range in complexity, a typical amplifier consists of a fiber and a number of fiber optic components. We offer both EDFA and Raman amplification products including EDFA fiber amplifiers and the components used in EDFA and Raman amplifier designs. Our optical amplification products include the following:
 
  •  Gain Blocks.  Gain blocks are integrated optical subsystem building blocks consisting of fiber and fiber optic components used in fiber optic amplifiers to boost the amplitude of an incoming optical signal.
 
  •  EDFAs.  Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers are optical subsystems that employ gain blocks, advanced electronics, firmware and software to control the optical gain of an incoming optical signal.
 
  •  WDM Pump/Signal Combiners.  Micro-optic WDM pump/signal combiners are components that provide power for the optical amplifier. They are used to efficiently combine light signals with pump laser sources. Pump lasers are active optical components used in optical amplifiers such as EDFAs to amplify or regenerate light signals that naturally suffer loss while traveling over distance within an optical network.
 
  •  Integrated Hybrid Components.  Optical amplifier systems can combine optical components, including isolators, tap couplers and WDM pump/signal combiners. The main advantage of hybrid components is that they minimize the amplifier package size, increase reliability and reduce manufacturing cost.
 
  •  WDM Pump Combiners.  WDM pump combiners are used to increase the power of an optical amplifier by combining multiple pump lasers into one common pump source for amplification.
 
  •  Polarization Beam Combiners.  Polarization beam combiners are optical components that combine two of the same or different wavelengths with opposing polarization to increase the power output of the optical amplifier.
 
  •  Gain Flattening Filters.  Gain flattening filters are used to ensure signals are amplified by equal amounts. Our thin film filter technology, or the technology in which layers of thin film separate optical signals, employs multiple layers of optical materials on glass to adjust optical output at different wavelengths to meet the needs of next-generation high power amplifiers.

Table of Contents

 
  •  Isolators.  Isolators are fiber optic devices that transmit light in only one direction, thus preventing a reflected light signal from returning to its laser source. Reflected light can interfere with a laser’s process and create noise, which can impair system performance in optical networks.
 
  •  Tap Couplers.  Tap couplers transfer optical signals between fibers. They are widely used for system monitoring purposes and have very low insertion loss, or the power loss incurred when adding additional components to a fiber cable.
 
Bandwidth Management Products
 
Communications equipment suppliers use our bandwidth management products to add intelligence to their systems, which allows communications service providers to monitor the performance, control the direction, and condition the amplitude of light signals throughout the optical network.
 
Wavelength Performance Monitoring and Protection Products.  The ability to monitor wavelengths within an optical network enables service providers to maintain quality of service even in the event of an interruption in the signal path, such as a cut in the fiber. It is significantly more difficult to monitor signal flow in optical systems as compared to electrical systems. Monitoring requires that optical signals be extracted from the fiber without interfering with the optical signal traveling through the same fiber.
 
We offer the following products that enable service providers to monitor network performance and make necessary decisions for traffic flow and network efficiency:
 
  •  Supervisory Channel WDM.  Our supervisory channel WDM is an integrated component that separates the network supervisory channel from the signal channel that is used in monitoring the network performance.
 
  •  Integrated WDM Monitor Arrays.  Our integrated WDM monitor arrays convert optical signals into electrical signals for network selective wavelength power monitoring. This module combines multiple network performance monitoring functions in a single module and integrates WDM filters and third-party photo detectors, a device supplied by other optical component manufacturers that receives a light signal in an optical network and converts it into an electrical signal. These integrated modules allow communications service providers to monitor whether or not wavelengths are being transmitted properly through the network.
 
  •  Integrated Tap Monitor Arrays.  Our integrated tap monitor arrays convert optical signals into electrical signals for network signal power monitoring. This module integrates a tap coupler, a device that splits the light power, and third-party photo detectors, a device supplied by other optical component manufacturers that receives a light signal in an optical network and converts it into an electrical signal. These integrated modules allow communications service providers to monitor whether or not optical signals are being transmitted properly through the network.
 
  •  Wavelength Protection Subsystems.  Our multi-channel wavelength protection subsystems are integrated solutions that combine tap couplers, splitters, switches, electronics, firmware, software and third-party photo detectors. These subsystems integrate network switching protection functions and monitor optical signal quality such as optical power in response to unexpected disruption in the optical network. They provide redundant path protection with fast routing and switching with network fault management and diagnostic capability.
 
Optical Switching and Routing Products.  As optical networks become more complex, there is an increasing demand to provide switching and routing capability to direct optical signals across multiple points in the network. We supply optical fiber switching and routing products that provide all-optical signal switching between fibers with up to eight different end destinations. Our optical switching and routing products include the following:
 
  •  Switches.  Optical switches are devices that can direct optical signals to different end destinations.
 
  •  Optical Add/Drop Multiplexers.  Optical add/drop multiplexers, or OADMs, are used when part of the information from an optical signal carried on the network is demultiplexed, or dropped, at an intermediate point and different information is multiplexed, or added, for subsequent transmission. The remaining traffic passes through the multiplexer without additional processing. The OADM is typically used for rerouting a

Table of Contents

  number of specific optical wavelengths with different end destinations. OADMs can also include other optical components such as optical conditioning products or optical monitoring products for increased functionality.
 
  •  Reconfigurable OADMs.  Reconfigurable OADMs combine OADM functionality, optical wavelength selective switching, or WSS, and conditioning products, electronic circuitry, integrated firmware and software to add remote configuration and provisioning flexibility to the network by allowing the dynamic add/drop of variable optical wavelengths having different amplitudes with different end destinations.
 
  •  Circulators.  Circulators consist of sophisticated micro-optic components that are used to direct optical signals between different fibers. Circulators are also used in optical amplifying applications and used in DWDM fiber grating based wavelength expansion products.
 
Wavelength Conditioning Products.  For reliable fiber optic communication systems, the light signal intensity needs to be controlled. For example, excess input power can overload the receivers and an optical attenuator is used to reduce the input signal to the level required by the receiver. Wavelength conditioning products are used in optical networks along with DWDM multiplexers and demultiplexers, optical amplifiers, and re-configurable optical add drop multiplexers to provide the power control functions. Our wavelength conditioning products include the following:
 
  •  Variable Optical Attenuators.  Variable optical attenuators, or VOAs, are optical devices that reduce the power of the optical signal in DWDM networks to ensure that all optical signals within a network have equal power. The amount of power reduction of a particular optical signal can be adjusted to match the power of other optical signals in the network thereby enhancing network performance and service quality.
 
  •  Variable Multiplexers.  Variable Multiplexers combine multiple ITU channel signals along with the function of adjusting the power level. The subsystems attenuate the power level of individual ITU signal to achieve equalization of the spectrum or blocking specific channel.
 
  •  Dynamic Band Equalization Products.  Dynamic band equalization products monitor and adjust power levels of multiple bands of ITU channels. These subsystems separate multiple ITU channels into bands of channels, and then monitor and control the power levels of these bands through standard telecommunication interfaces such as RS232 and then multiplex these multiple bands onto a single fiber. They are used for power equalization in various parts of the network including metro and long haul.
 
Customers
 
We sell our products worldwide to telecommunications, data communications and cable TV equipment manufacturers around the globe. In certain cases, we sell our products to our competitors or other component manufacturers for their resale or integration into their own products. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, we sold our products to over 248 companies worldwide.
 
Our top five customers, although not the same five customers for each period, together accounted for 52%, 63% and 69% of our revenues in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Flextronics Canada, Inc. (“Flextronics”) and Hua Wei Technologies Co. Ltd. (“Huawei”) each accounted for greater than 10% of our revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. For fiscal 2006, primarily all of our shipments to Flextronics, a contract manufacturer, were to fulfill purchase orders placed by Nortel Networks Corporation (“Nortel”). Through Flextronics and through direct sales, Nortel accounted for greater than 10% of our revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. Nortel, Flextronics and Huawei each also accounted for greater than 10% of our revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. For fiscal 2005, primarily all of our shipments to Flextronics, a contract manufacturer, were to fulfill purchase orders placed by Nortel. Nortel, Sanmina-SCI Corporation (“Sanmina”) and Marubun Corporation (“Marubun”) each accounted for greater than 10% of our revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, a substantial portion of our shipments to Sanmina, a contract manufacturer, were to fulfill purchase orders placed by Tellabs, Inc. Through Sanmina and through direct sales, Tellabs, Inc. accounted for greater than 10% of our revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, a substantial portion of our shipments to Marubun, one of our distributors, were to fulfill purchase orders placed by Fujitsu Limited (“Fujitsu”) through Marubun. Through

Table of Contents

Marubun and through direct sales, Fujitsu accounted for greater than 10% of our revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. We expect that the majority of our revenues will continue to depend on sales to a relatively small number of customers, although potentially not the same customers period to period. In addition, some of our customers are companies with which we presently compete or in the future may compete. See “Concentration of Credit Risk” under Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Backlog
 
We are substantially dependent upon orders we receive and fill on a short-term basis. We do not have contracts with our customers that provide any assurance of future sales, and sales are typically made pursuant to individual purchase orders, often with extremely short lead times, and which are frequently subject to revision or cancellation. Because of the possibility of changes in delivery or acceptance schedules, cancellations of orders, returns or price reductions, we do not believe that backlog is a reliable indicator of our future revenues.
 
Marketing, Sales and Customer Support
 
We market and sell our products through both direct sales and distribution channels, including seven international sales representatives and distributors. Our sales representatives and distributors are independent organizations within North America, Europe and Asia. As of June 30, 2006, we employed 24 people in sales, marketing and customer service and support in the U.S. and 11 people in sales and marketing in China, who manage key customer accounts and support our direct sales force, sales representatives and distributors. Our marketing team promotes our products within the communications industry as well as gathers and analyzes market research. Our marketing professionals help us to identify and define next-generation products by working closely with our customers and our research and development engineers. They also coordinate our participation in trade shows and design and implement our advertising effort.
 
Product Development
 
As of June 30, 2006, we had 250 engineers involved in research and development of our products. Our engineering team has extensive design, packaging, processing, electrical, mechanical, firmware and software experience in the fields of fiber optic components, integrated optic interfaces and systems.
 
Our primary component and subsystem development center is located in Zhuhai, China and our access market system development center is located in Shanghai, China. Our research and development expense, including non-cash compensation expense, was $6.7 million, $7.2 million and $7.5 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We spend a significant portion of our financial resources on our research and development budget and staff to enhance our current fiber optic subsystems and components and to develop new technologies and products to serve the current and next-generation communication markets.
 
Manufacturing
 
We currently manufacture substantially all of our subsystems and components at our manufacturing facilities in China. We maintain a pilot line at our headquarters in Fremont, California. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, we completed the transfer of manufacturing processes and assembly operations to our facility in the Zhuhai Free Trade Zone, China from the United States.
 
Our facility in the Zhuhai Free Trade Zone maintains complete in-house manufacturing capabilities including component and module design, integration, production and testing. We plan to continue to invest resources in manufacturing management, engineering and quality control. We also plan to continue to develop automated manufacturing systems to provide higher throughput, improve yields and reduce manufacturing costs. We own our facility in the Zhuhai Free Trade Zone totaling approximately 667,000 square feet. Our facility in the Zhuhai Free Trade Zone is used for administration, manufacturing, research and development and employee living quarters. We currently lease 34,000 square feet of our facility in the Zhuhai Free Trade Zone to third parties and will attempt to lease to third parties the remaining areas that are in excess of our current requirements.

Table of Contents

We lease two facilities located in Shanghai, China, which are used for administration, manufacturing and research and development. Our Shanghai facilities total approximately 55,000 square feet. The leases for these two facilities expire in July 2008.
 
A number of critical raw materials used in manufacturing our products are acquired from single or limited source suppliers. The inability to obtain sufficient quantities of those materials may result in delays, increased costs and reductions in our product shipments.
 
We are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the storage, use, discharge and disposal of toxic or otherwise hazardous or regulated chemicals or materials used in our manufacturing processes. To date, such laws and regulations have not materially affected our capital expenditures, earnings and competitive position. We do not anticipate any material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities for the foreseeable future.

The markets in which we sell our products are highly competitive. Our overall competitive position depends upon a number of factors, including:
 
  •  selling price;
 
  •  the quality of our manufacturing processes;
 
  •  the breadth of our product line;
 
  •  availability, performance and reliability of our products;
 
  •  our ability to participate in the growth of emerging technologies;
 
  •  the ability to win designs through prototyping;
 
  •  the compatibility of our products with existing communications networks; and
 
  •  manufacturing capacity and capability.
 
We believe that our principal competitors are the major manufacturers of optical subsystems and components, including both vendors selling to third parties and business divisions within communications equipment suppliers. Our principal competitors include Avanex Corporation, DiCon Fiberoptics, Inc., Furukawa Electrical Co., Ltd., FDK Corporation, NEL Hitachi Cable, Santec Corporation, JDS Uniphase Corporation and numerous optical component manufacturers in China. We believe that we primarily compete with diversified suppliers, such as JDS Uniphase, Santec Corporation and FDK Corporation, for the majority of our product line and to a lesser extent with niche players that offer a more limited product line. We also believe that JDS Uniphase has the greatest market share for fiber optic components and subsystems.
 
Many of these companies have substantially greater financial, engineering and manufacturing resources as well as greater name recognition and stronger customer relationships. Competitors in any portion of our business also may rapidly become competitors in other portions of our business. In addition, our industry has recently experienced significant consolidation, and we anticipate that further consolidation will occur. This consolidation has increased, and will likely continue to increase, competition.

Intellectual Property
 
As of June 30, 2006, we have been granted 115 issued patents, have 2 allowed applications awaiting issuance and have 7 patent applications pending with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for various technologies and products, including DWDM interleavers, DWDM subsystems, multi-channel optic filter arrays, high reliability fused couplers, circulators, compact optical switches and polarization beam combiners. The terms of our patents are computed in accordance with United States federal patent statutes. In general, this means that a patent will have a term expiring twenty years from its filing date. In addition, we currently have 23 issued patents and 22 pending patent applications in the People’s Republic of China, 25 of which are counterparts to U.S. patents or patent applications.
 
While we rely on patent, copyright, trade secret and trademark law and restrictions on disclosure to protect our technology, we believe that factors such as the technological and creative skills of our personnel, new product developments, frequent product enhancements and reliable product maintenance are essential to establishing and maintaining a technology leadership position. We cannot assure you that others will not develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology.
 
Protecting our intellectual property is critical to the success of our business. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, various unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology. Policing unauthorized use of our products is difficult, and there can be no assurance that the steps taken by us will prevent misappropriation of our technology. Moreover, the laws of some foreign countries, including China, do not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States.
 
Substantial litigation regarding intellectual property rights exists in the optical communications industry. We expect that fiber optic subsystems and components may be increasingly subject to third-party infringement claims as the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps. In addition, we believe that many of our competitors in the optical communications industry have filed or intend to file patent applications covering aspects of their technology on which they may claim our technology infringes. For example, we were previously a defendant in a patent infringement dispute with Chorum Technologies, Inc. and a lawsuit filed by Oz Optics Limited et al. alleging trade secret misappropriation and other related claims.
 
We cannot make any assurances that other third parties will not claim infringement by us with respect to our technology. Any such claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming to defend, result in costly litigation, divert management’s attention and resources, cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. A successful claim of product infringement against us and our failure or inability to license the infringed or similar technology could seriously harm our financial condition.
 
Employees
 
As of June 30, 2006, we had 79 full-time employees located in the United States and 1,988 full-time employees located in China. None of our employees in the United States are represented by a labor union. All of our employees in Zhuhai are represented by a labor union formed on November 6, 2001, pursuant to the requirements of the China’s Labor Union Law. We have not experienced any work stoppages and we consider our relations with our employees to be good.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors
 
We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves many risks, some of which are beyond our control. The following is a discussion that highlights some of these risks. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business, operations or financial results.
 
We have incurred significant losses in the past, and if we are unable to continue to increase our revenues while controlling our costs and operating expenses, we may be unable to sustain our profitability.
 
We have incurred significant losses since our inception in 1995 and we may incur losses in the future. We incurred net losses of $2.6 million, $6.4 million and $36.8 million for the years ended June 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. With the exception of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 when we were profitable due to a one time benefit of $1.3 million from the resolution of vendor liabilities, the third and fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2006 we have not achieved profitability on a quarterly or annual basis since inception. As of June 30, 2006, we had an accumulated deficit of $225.1 million. We will need to continue to increase our revenues while controlling costs and operating expenses to sustain profitability. Our revenues may not grow sufficiently in future quarters to sustain profitability.
 
We depend upon a small number of customers for a substantial portion of our revenues, and any decrease in revenues from, or loss of, these customers without a corresponding increase in revenues from other customers would harm our operating results.
 
We depend upon a small number of customers for a substantial portion of our revenues. Our top five customers, although not the same five customers for each period, together accounted for 52%, 63% and 69% of our revenues in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We expect that the majority of our revenues will continue to depend on sales to a relatively small number of customers, although potentially not the same customers period to period. Our revenues generated from these customers, individually or in the aggregate, may not reach or exceed historic levels in any future period. We may not be the sole source of supply to our customers, and they may choose to purchase products from other vendors. Furthermore, the businesses of some of our existing customers are currently experiencing slow growth following a protracted downturn, which is resulting, in some instances, in significantly decreased sales to these customers and harming our results of operations. Loss or cancellations of orders from, or any further downturn in the business of, any of our customers without an increase in sales from other customers could harm our business. Our dependence on a small number of customers may increase if the fiber optic components and subsystems industry and our other target markets continue to consolidate.
 
The optical networking component industry is experiencing declining average selling prices, which could cause our gross margins to decline and harm our operating results.
 
The optical networking component industry is experiencing declining average selling prices (“ASPs”) as a result of increasing competition and declining market demand. We anticipate that such ASPs will continue to decrease in the future in response to product and new technology introductions by competitors, price pressures from significant customers and greater manufacturing efficiencies achieved through increased automation in the manufacturing process. These declining ASPs have contributed and may continue to contribute to a decline in our gross margins, which could harm our results of operations.
 
Because none of our customers are obligated to purchase our products, they may cancel or defer their purchases at any time and on short notice, which could harm our operating results.
 
We are substantially dependent on orders we receive and fill on a short-term basis. We do not have contracts with our customers that provide any assurance of future sales, and sales are typically made pursuant to individual purchase orders, often with extremely short lead times. Accordingly, our customers:
 
  •  may stop purchasing our products or defer their purchases at any time without penalty;
 
  •  are free to purchase products from our competitors;


12


Table of Contents

 
  •  are not required to make minimum purchases; and
 
  •  may cancel orders that they place with us.
 
As a result, we cannot rely on orders in backlog as a reliable and consistent source of future revenue. Sales to any single customer may and do vary significantly from quarter to quarter. Our customers generally do not place purchase orders far in advance. In addition, our customers’ purchase orders have varied significantly from quarter to quarter. This means that customers who account for a significant portion of our revenues in one quarter may not and often do not place orders at the same level as the current quarter in the succeeding quarter, which makes it difficult to forecast our revenues in future periods. Moreover, our expense levels are based in part on our expectations of future revenue, and we may be unable to adjust costs in a timely manner in response to further revenue shortfalls. This can result in significant quarterly fluctuations in our operating results.
 
Our quarterly revenues and operating results are difficult to predict and may continue to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and, therefore, may vary from public market analysts’ or investors’ expectations, which could cause our stock price to drop.
 
It is difficult to forecast our revenues accurately. Moreover, our revenues, gross margins, expenses and operating results have varied significantly from quarter to quarter in the past and may continue to fluctuate significantly in the future. The factors, many of which are more fully discussed in the other risk factors below, that are likely to cause these variations include, among others:
 
  •  fluctuations in demand for, and sales of, our products;
 
  •  changes in customer, geographic or product mix and the average selling prices of our products;
 
  •  impact on our sales and margins as a result of our customers continued migration to contract manufacturers and the extent to which we engage in contract manufacturing activities;
 
  •  the availability of raw materials used in our products, increases in the price of these raw materials or to the extent a greater degree of the raw material content of our product is from third parties;
 
  •  economic conditions specific to the communications and related industries and the development and size of the markets for our products;
 
  •  our inability to cut costs quickly in the event of market or demand downturns, due to the fact that a high percentage of our expenses, including those related to manufacturing, engineering, research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative functions, is fixed in the short term;
 
  •  cancellations or delays of orders or shipment rescheduling by our customers;
 
  •  the lingering effects of the recent economic downturn and resulting uncertainty of the fiber optic industry;
 
  •  the ability of our manufacturing operations in China to timely produce and deliver products in the quantity and of the quality our customers require;
 
  •  our ability to successfully improve our manufacturing capabilities and achieve acceptable production yields in our facilities in China;
 
  •  the tendency of communications equipment suppliers to sporadically place large orders with short lead times;
 
  •  competitive factors in the fiber optic components and subsystems market, including introductions of new products, new technologies and product enhancements by competitors, consolidation of competitors, customers and service provider end users and pricing pressures;
 
  •  our ability to develop, introduce, manufacture and ship new and enhanced optical networking products in a timely manner and in production quantities without defects or other quality issues;


13


Table of Contents

 
  •  with respect to new products, a mismatching of research and development expenses and sales and marketing expenses that are incurred in one quarter with revenues that are not recognized, if at all, until a subsequent quarter when the new products are introduced and commercially accepted; and
 
  •  costs associated with, and the outcomes of, any intellectual property or other litigation to which we are, or may become, a party.
 
Due to the factors noted above and other risks discussed in this section, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful. Moreover, if we experience difficulties in any of these areas, our operating results could be significantly and adversely affected and our stock price could decline. Also, it is possible that in some future quarter our operating results may be below the expectations of public market analysts or investors, which could cause our stock price to fall.
 
If we fail to effectively manage our manufacturing capability, produce products that meet our customers’ quality requirements and achieve acceptable production yields in China, we may not be able to deliver sufficient quantities of products that meet all of our customers’ order requirements in a timely manner, which would harm our operating results.
 
We manufacture substantially all of our products in our facilities in Zhuhai and Shanghai, China. The quality of our products and our ability to ship products on a timely basis may suffer if we cannot effectively maintain the necessary expertise and resources to effectively manage our manufacturing activities in China. We have in the past received unexpectedly large numbers of product returns due to manufacturing defects in our products. For example, in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, we experienced greater than anticipated manufacturing defects in our subsystem products and, as a result, increased our warranty reserves. We have identified and believe we have remedied these problems. However, if we cannot prevent these problems from reoccurring, we may lose customers and revenue, and our operating results will be severely harmed.
 
Because manufacturing our products involves complex and precise processes and the majority of our manufacturing costs are relatively fixed, manufacturing yields are critical to our results of operations. Factors that affect our manufacturing yields include the quality of raw materials used to make our products, the quality of workmanship and our manufacturing processes. Our or our suppliers’ inadvertent use of defective materials could significantly reduce our manufacturing yields.
 
Furthermore, because of the large labor component in, and complexity of, our manufacturing processes, quality of workmanship is critical to achieving acceptable yields. We cannot assure you that we will be able to hire and train a sufficient number of qualified personnel to produce our products cost-effectively with the quality and in the quantities required by our customers.
 
Changes in our manufacturing processes or those of our suppliers could also impact our yields. In some cases, existing manufacturing techniques, which involve substantial manual labor, may not allow us to meet our manufacturing yield goals cost-effectively so that we maintain acceptable gross margins while meeting the cost targets of our customers. We will need to develop new manufacturing processes and techniques that will involve higher levels of automation in order to increase our gross margins and help achieve the targeted cost levels of our customers. We may not achieve manufacturing cost levels that will allow us to achieve acceptable gross margins or fully satisfy customer demands. Additionally, our competitors are automating their manufacturing processes. If we are unable to achieve higher levels of automation and our competitors are successful, it will harm our gross margins.
 
Additional risks associated with managing our manufacturing processes and capability in China include:
 
  •  our ability to procure the necessary raw materials and equipment on a timely basis;
 
  •  a potential lack of availability of qualified management and manufacturing personnel;
 
  •  our ability to maintain quality;
 
  •  our ability to effectively manage headcount, particularly if we undertake to expand our manufacturing operations; and


14


Table of Contents

 
  •  our ability to quickly and efficiently implement an adequate set of financial controls to effectively track and control inventory levels and inventory mix and to accurately predict inventory requirements.
 
Communications equipment suppliers typically require that their vendors commit in advance to provide specified quantities of products over a given period of time. We may not be able to pursue many large orders from these suppliers if we do not have sufficient manufacturing capabilities to enable us to commit to provide them with their specified quantities of products. If we are unable to commit to deliver sufficient quantities of our products to satisfy a customer’s anticipated needs, we likely will lose the order and the opportunity for significant sales to that customer for a lengthy period of time. Furthermore, if we fail to fulfill orders to which we have committed, we will lose revenue opportunities and our customer relationships may be harmed.
 
Our products may have defects that are not detected until full deployment of a customer’s equipment, which could result in a loss of customers, damage to our reputation and substantial costs.
 
Our products are deployed in large and complex optical networks and must be compatible with other system components. Our products can only be fully tested for reliability when deployed in these networks for long periods of time. Our customers may discover errors, defects or incompatibilities in our products after they have been fully deployed and operated under peak stress conditions. Our products may also have errors, defects or incompatibilities that are not found until after a system upgrade is installed. For example, in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, we experienced greater than anticipated defects in our subsystem products and, as a result, increased our warranty reserves. Errors, defects, incompatibilities or other problems with our products could result in:
 
  •  loss of customers;
 
  •  loss of or delay in revenues;
 
  •  loss of market share;
 
  •  damage to our brand and reputation;
 
  •  inability to attract new customers or achieve market acceptance;
 
  •  diversion of development resources;
 
  •  increased service and warranty costs;
 
  •  legal actions by our customers; and
 
  •  increased insurance costs.
 
If any of these occur, our operating results could be harmed.
 
We depend on the growth and success of the communications industry, which is subject to severe fluctuations in economic activity and is also experiencing consolidation and realignment, as well as a trend towards outsourced manufacturing.
 
We depend on the continued growth and success of the communications industry, which depends, in part, on the continuing growth of the Internet, wireless, optical and cable services as a widely-used medium for commerce and communication and the continuing demand for increased bandwidth over communications networks. As a result of the effects of the severe downturn in the optical and communications industry following the year 2000, our ability to acquire new customers or to obtain additional orders from existing customers has been impeded. Although we have noticed a general increase in spending activity in the communications industry over the past several quarters, we cannot assure you that this spending activity will continue at its current rate or at all, or that we will benefit from this spending activity.
 
Furthermore, the rate at which communications service providers and other fiber optic network users have built new fiber optic networks or installed new systems in their existing fiber optic networks has fluctuated in the past and these fluctuations may continue in the future. These fluctuations may result in reduced demand from historical rates for new or upgraded fiber optic systems that utilize our products and, therefore, may result in reduced demand for our products.

The communications industry is also experiencing rapid consolidation and realignment, as industry participants seek to capitalize on the rapidly changing competitive landscape developing around the Internet and new communications technologies such as fiber optic and wireless communications networks. As the communications industry consolidates and realigns to accommodate technological and other developments, our customers and service provider end users may consolidate or align with other entities in a manner that may delay orders and harms our business.
 
Our customers’ continued outsourcing might result in their utilizing large well-established contract manufacturers to provide final system assembly, rather than utilizing us for final system assembly. We may therefore be required to provide lower level components to these contractor manufacturers rather than final system assembly to our current customers, potentially resulting in reduced revenues and lower gross margins and profits. Furthermore, these contract manufacturers may seek other source of components, which could harm our operating results. Additionally, to remain competitive we may need to provide a contract manufacturing service, which could harm our gross margins.
 
Because we depend on third parties to supply some of our raw materials and equipment, we may not be able to obtain sufficient quantities of these materials and equipment, or these materials may become unavailable due to technological changes, which could limit our ability to fill customer orders and harm our operating results.
 
Difficulties in obtaining raw materials in the future may delay or limit our product shipments, which could result in lost orders, increase our costs, reduce our control over quality and delivery schedules and require us to redesign our products. We depend on third parties to supply the raw materials and equipment we use to manufacture our products. To be competitive, we must obtain from our suppliers, on a timely basis, sufficient quantities of raw materials at acceptable prices. We obtain most of our critical raw materials from a single or limited number of suppliers and generally do not have long-term supply contracts with them. As a result, our suppliers could terminate the supply of a particular material at any time without penalty. Due to the effects of the severe downturn in the optical and communications industries, manufacturers and vendors that we rely upon for raw materials may scale back their operations or cease to do business entirely as a result of financial hardship or other reasons. In addition, our suppliers could terminate the supply of a particular material due to technological changes, which would require us to redesign our products, identify and qualify acceptable replacement suppliers. However, we cannot be certain that we could obtain qualifications for such replacements from our customers. Furthermore, some of our suppliers are competitors who may chose not to supply raw materials to us in the future, or who may sell their capability to parties that may be adverse to our goals. In addition, some of the equipment we use is relatively complex and, in periods of high market demand, the lead times from order to delivery of this equipment could be as long as six months. To the extent a greater degree of the raw material content of our product is from third parties, which may be necessary to provide our customers with the latest technology, our financial results may be negatively impacted.
 
We compete in a highly competitive industry, and if we are unable to compete successfully or develop new products and product enhancements that achieve market acceptance, our revenues could decline, which would harm our operating results.
 
The market for fiber optic components and subsystems is intensely competitive. We believe that our principal competitors are the major manufacturers of optical components and subsystems, including vendors selling to third parties and business divisions within communications equipment suppliers. Many of our current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, purchasing, manufacturing and other resources than we do. As a result, these competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and to changes in customer requirements, to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of products, or to deliver competitive products at lower prices. Competitors in any portion of our business may also rapidly become competitors in other portions of our business. In addition, our industry has recently experienced significant consolidation, and we anticipate that further consolidation will occur. This consolidation has further increased competition.
 
Several of our existing and potential customers are also current and potential competitors of ours. These companies may develop or acquire additional competitive products or technologies in the future and thereby reduce


16


Table of Contents

or cease their purchases from us. In light of the consolidation in the optical networking industry, we also believe that the size of the optical component and subsystem suppliers will become increasingly important to our current and potential customers in the future. Our current and potential suppliers may also consolidate with our competitors and thereby reduce or cease providing materials and equipment to us. Also, we expect to pursue optical contract manufacturing opportunities in the future. We may not be able to compete successfully with existing or new competitors, and the competitive pressures we face may result in lower prices for our products, loss of market share, the unavailability of materials and equipment used in our products, or reduced gross margins, any of which could harm our business.
 
The communications industry is characterized by rapid technological changes, frequent new product introductions, changes in customer requirements and evolving industry standards. As a result, the introduction of new products incorporating new technologies or the emergence of new industry standards could make our existing products obsolete. For example, new technologies are being developed in the design of wavelength division multiplexers that compete with the thin film filters that we incorporate in our products. These technologies include arrayed waveguide grating and planar lightwave circuits. Additionally, a new technology is being developed in the design of equalization and switching, known as microelectro-mechanical systems, which will compete with the bulk micro-optics that we incorporate into our product. Our future success depends on our ability to anticipate market needs and to develop products that address those needs.
 
Our failure to predict market needs accurately or to develop or obtain through acquisition new products or product enhancements in a timely manner will harm market acceptance and sales of our products. In this regard, we are currently developing bandwidth creation products as well as bandwidth management products. If the development of these products or any other future products takes longer than we anticipate, or if we are unable to develop and introduce these products to market, our revenues could suffer and we may not gain market share. Even if we are able to develop and commercially introduce these new products, the new products may not achieve widespread market acceptance. Furthermore, we have implemented, and may continue to implement in the future, significant cost-cutting measures such as reductions in our workforce, including reductions in research and development and manufacturing personnel, that may weaken our research and development efforts or cause us to have difficulty responding to sudden increases in customer orders.
 
In addition, we recently expanded our operations to include optical manufacturing services. We cannot, however, assure you that we will be able to successfully manage our manufacturing capabilities to produce quality products in a cost-effective manner or gain market acceptance with respect to any optical manufacturing service offerings. In addition, because profit margins with respect to optical contract manufacturing services may be smaller than the margins applicable to our current and past product offerings, our gross margins may decline and our financial results may be harmed as a result of our provision of such services. Also, to the extent a greater degree of the raw material content of our product is from third parties, which may be necessary to provide our customers with the latest technology, our financial results may be negatively impacted.
 
If our liability for U.S. and foreign taxes is greater than we have anticipated and reserved for, our operating results may suffer.
 
We are subject to tax in the United States and in foreign jurisdictions in which we do business. We believe that we have adequately estimated and reserved for our tax liability. However, our business operations, including our transfer pricing for transactions among our various business entities operating in different tax jurisdictions, may be audited at any time by U.S. and non-U.S. tax authorities. Any such audits may result in tax liabilities in excess of those we have estimated. In November 2005, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service commenced an audit of our U.S. federal tax returns for our 2003 fiscal year. The audit is in process and management cannot predict the outcome.
 
In addition, we have estimated our U.S. tax liability assuming the benefit of substantial net operating loss carryforwards. The use of our net operating loss carryforwards prior to 1999 are subject to certain limitations due to certain changes in our ownership in 1999 and 1998. If the use of our net operating loss carryforwards is limited to a further extent than we anticipate, our operating results may suffer.

If we are unable to successfully integrate acquired businesses or technologies, our operating results may be harmed.
 
The communications industry is evolving rapidly and is highly competitive. Accordingly, we have pursued and expect to continue to pursue acquisitions of businesses and technologies, or the establishment of joint venture arrangements, that could expand our business. The negotiation of potential acquisitions or joint ventures, as well as the integration of an acquired or jointly developed business or technology, could cause diversion of management’s time and other resources or disrupt our operations. Future acquisitions could result in:
 
  •  additional operating expenses without additional revenues;
 
  •  potential dilutive issuances of equity securities;
 
  •  the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities;
 
  •  amortization of other intangibles;
 
  •  research and development write-offs; and
 
  •  other acquisition-related expenses.
 
Furthermore, we may not be able to successfully integrate acquired businesses or joint ventures with our operations, and we may not receive the intended benefits of any future acquisition or joint venture. For example, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 we recorded an impairment charge of $322,000 based on the amounts by which the carrying value of purchased intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisition of Gigabit Optics Corporation and Accumux Technologies, Inc. exceeded their fair value. This charge negatively affected our operating results for fiscal 2005, and any of the factors listed above could harm our operating results in future periods.
 
Disruption to commercial activities in the United States or in other countries, particularly in China, may adversely impact our results of operations, our ability to raise capital or our future growth.
 
We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from customers located outside the United States and substantial portions of our operations are located in China. Our international operations expose us to a number of additional risks associated with international operations, including, without limitation:
 
  •  disruptions to commercial activities or damage to our facilities as a result of natural disasters, political unrest, war, terrorism, labor strikes, and work stoppages;
 
  •  difficulties and costs of staffing and managing foreign operations with personnel who have expertise in optical network technology;
 
  •  unexpected changes in regulatory or certification requirements for optical systems or networks;
 
  •  disruptions in the transportation of our products and other risks related to the infrastructure of foreign countries;
 
  •  economic instability.
 
  •  any future outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome, avian influenza and other epidemics or illnesses; and
 
  •  power shortages at our manufacturing facilities in China, which may lead to production delays.
 
To the extent that such disruptions interfere with our commercial activities, our results of operations could be harmed.
 
Substantially all of our manufacturing operations are located in China and are subject to the laws and regulations of China. Our operations in China may be adversely affected by changes in the laws and regulations of China, such as those relating to taxation, import and export tariffs, environmental regulations, land use rights, property and other matters. China’s central or local governments may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations, which would require additional expenditures. Chinese leaders noted

Table of Contents

concerns regarding China’s recent economic growth since April 2004 and indicated, without providing specific details, that they may take very forceful measures to bring the economy under control. On April 27, 2006, the People’s Bank of China announced that it would raise the minimum rate banks charge on one-year loans in local currency 0.27 percentage points to 5.85 percent effective April 28, 2006. Furthermore, on August 18, 2006, the People’s Bank of China, China’s central bank, announced that it would raise both lending and deposit interest rates 0.27 percentage points effective August 19, 2006. China’s economy differs from the economies of many countries in terms of structure, government involvement, specificity and enforcement of governmental regulations, level of development, growth rate, capital reinvestment, allocation of resources, self-sufficiency and rate of inflation, among others. Our results of operations and financial condition may be harmed by changes in the political, economic or social conditions in China.
 
In addition, events in China over which we have no control, such as political unrest, terrorism, war, labor strikes and work stoppages, could disrupt our operations. There is currently political tension between the United States and North Korea and the United States and China, which could, in either case, result in hostilities or deterioration in relations that would impact our trade relations with China. There is also significant tension between China and Taiwan, which could result in hostilities or lead to a breakdown in trade relations between China and the United States. Additionally, China continues its condemnation of the United States’ pledge of military support to Taiwan, which could lead to hostilities. Moreover, anti-Japanese sentiment in China may lead to business disruptions. If hostilities or other events cause a disruption in our operations, it would be difficult for us to establish manufacturing operations at an alternative location on comparable terms.
 
We are exposed to currency rate fluctuations and exchange controls that could adversely impact our operating results.
 
Significant portions of our operations are conducted in currencies other than the United States dollar, particularly in Chinese Renminbi. Our operating results are therefore subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. For example, in July 2005, China uncoupled Renminbi from the dollar and will let it float in a narrow band against a basket of foreign currencies. The move revalued Renminbi by 2.1% against the U.S. dollar. It is possible that the Chinese government could adopt a more flexible currency policy, which could result in more significant fluctuation of Chinese renminbi against the U.S. dollar. The Renminbi-U.S. dollar exchange rate could float, and the Renminbi could appreciate relative to the U.S. dollar. For example, if the Renminbi had been revalued at the beginning of fiscal 2005 at 8.11 Renminbi to the US dollar instead of the actual rate of 8.28, the impact on our reported results would have been to increase net loss of fiscal 2005 by approximately $75,000. While the international reaction to the Renminbi revaluation has generally been positive, there remains significant international pressure on the government of China to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar. For example, Renminbi-U.S. dollar exchange rate appreciated to 8.0 at June 30, 2006. Any significant revaluation of the Renminbi may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, operating results and financial position.
 
To reduce our gains and losses associated with converting foreign currencies into United States dollars, we may elect in the future to enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge our foreign currency exposure. However, we cannot be certain that any such hedging activities will be effective, or available to us at commercially reasonable rates. As a result, we will continue to experience foreign currency gains and losses.
 
Moreover, China’s government imposes controls on the convertibility of Renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. Any shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our Chinese subsidiaries to obtain and remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends to us or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations, such as payments to us for components, which we export to them and for technology licensing fees. Such shortages may also cause us to experience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit needed foreign currency. Under the current foreign exchange control system, sufficient foreign currency is presently available for our Chinese subsidiaries to purchase imported components or to repatriate profits to us, but as demands on China’s foreign currency reserves increase over time to meet its commitments, sufficient foreign currency may not be available to satisfy China’s currency needs.

Our business could be negatively impacted if we are unable to convert and remit our sales received in Renminbi into U.S. dollars. Under existing foreign exchange laws, Renminbi held by our Chinese subsidiaries can be converted into foreign currencies and remitted out of China to pay current account items such as payments to suppliers for imports, labor services, payment of interest on foreign exchange loans and distributions of dividends so long as our subsidiaries have adequate amounts of Renminbi to purchase the foreign currency. Expenses of a capital nature such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies, however, require approval from appropriate governmental authorities before Renminbi can be used to purchase foreign currency for remittance out of China. This system could be changed at any time by executive decision of the State Council to impose limits on current account convertibility of the Renminbi or other similar restrictions.
 
Moreover, even though the Renminbi is intended to be freely convertible on current accounts, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, which is responsible for administering China’s foreign currency market, has a significant degree of administrative discretion in interpreting and implementing foreign exchange control regulations. From time to time, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange has used this discretion in ways that effectively limit the convertibility of current account payments and restrict remittances out of China. Furthermore, in many circumstances the State Administration of Foreign Exchange must approve foreign currency conversions and remittances. Under the current foreign exchange control system, sufficient foreign currency may not always be available in the future at a given exchange rate to satisfy our currency demands.
 
If tax benefits available to our subsidiaries located in China are reduced or repealed or our China subsidiaries fail to meet the requirements for utilizing such tax benefits, our financial condition and operating results could suffer.
 
Our subsidiaries located in China enjoy tax benefits in China that are generally available to foreign investment enterprises, including full exemption from national enterprise income tax for two years starting from the first year when accumulated earnings have turned positive and a 50% reduction in the national income tax rate for the following three years. In addition, local enterprise income tax is often waived or reduced during this tax holiday/incentive period. Furthermore, under current regulations in China, foreign investment enterprises that have been accredited as technologically advanced enterprises are entitled to an additional three-year reduction in national income tax by 50%, with a provision that the income tax rate as so reduced may not be lower than 10%. However, the Chinese government recently announced that preferential tax treatment for foreign enterprises might be repealed beginning in 2007. In order to qualify for such benefits, a foreign investment enterprise must be operated continuously for ten years. In the past our subsidiaries in China have qualified for preferential tax treatment and have not been obligated to pay income tax. However, if our subsidiaries fail to meet the operation requirement due to events outside of their control, they may be required to pay for income tax on past profits. If China elects to repeal or reduce the tax benefits available to us in the future or we fail to continue to qualify for the tax benefits, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely impacted.
 
Our wavelength expansion products have accounted for a majority of our revenues, and our revenues could be harmed if the price of, or demand for, these products further declines or if these products fail to achieve broader market acceptance.
 
We believe that our future growth and a significant portion of our future revenues will depend on the commercial success of our wavelength expansion products. Customers that have purchased wavelength expansion products may not continue to purchase these products from us. Although we currently offer a broad spectrum of products, sales of our wavelength expansion products accounted for a majority of our revenues in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004. These products include, among others, dense wavelength division multiplexers (“DWDMs”). These products accounted for 51%, 44% and 52% of our revenues in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Any decline in the price of, or demand for, our wavelength expansion products, or their failure to achieve broader market acceptance, could harm our revenues.
 
If we are unable to protect our proprietary technology, our ability to succeed will be harmed.
 
Our ability to compete successfully and achieve future growth will depend, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws and


20


Table of Contents

restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. However, the steps we have taken may not prevent the misappropriation of our intellectual property, particularly in foreign countries, such as China, where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. If we are unable to protect our proprietary technology, our ability to succeed will be harmed. We may in the future initiate claims or litigation against third parties for infringement of our proprietary rights. These claims could result in costly litigation and the diversion of the attention of our technical and management personnel.
 
We may be involved in intellectual property disputes in the future, which will divert management’s attention and could cause us to incur significant costs and prevent us from selling or using the challenged technology.
 
Participants in the communications and fiber optic components and subsystems markets in which we sell our products have experienced frequent litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. Numerous patents in these industries are held by others, including our competitors and academic institutions. In addition, from time to time, we have become aware of the possibility or have been notified that we may be infringing certain patents or other intellectual property rights of others. Regardless of their merit, responding to such claims could be time consuming, divert management’s attention and resources and cause us to incur significant expenses. We have no means of knowing that a patent application has been filed in the United States until the patent is issued. Optical component 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.
 
From time to time we may be involved in lawsuits as a result of alleged infringement of others’ intellectual property. For example, in December 2001, Oz Optics Limited, OZ Optics, Inc. and Bitmath, Inc. (collectively, “OZ”) filed a lawsuit against us and four individuals, including our former Vice President of Product Line Management, alleging trade secret misappropriation and other related claims. Under the complaint, the plaintiffs sought damages against the four individuals in the amounts of approximately $17,550,000, and against us in the amount of approximately $1,500,000, as well as enhanced damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorney fees, and other relief. We settled the lawsuit against us in August 2004 and OZ agreed to dismiss the case against us with prejudice. However, we cannot assure you that OZ will not choose to pursue further litigation against us in the future. In addition, to our knowledge, OZ is continuing to pursue its lawsuit against all of the defendants other than us, and we may be obligated to indemnify our former Vice President of Product Line Management for certain amounts in connection with her prior employment with us.
 
Both prosecuting and defending lawsuits involving our intellectual property may be costly and time consuming and may also divert the efforts and attention of our management and technical personnel. Intellectual property litigation is often highly complex and can extend for a protracted period of time, which can substantially increase the cost of litigation. Accordingly, the expenses and diversion of resources associated with intellectual property litigation to which we may become a party could seriously harm our business and financial condition. Any intellectual property litigation also could invalidate our proprietary rights and force us to do one or more of the following:
 
  •  obtain from the owner of the infringed intellectual property right a license to sell or use the relevant technology, which license may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all;
 
  •  stop selling, incorporating or using our products that use the challenged intellectual property;
 
  •  pay substantial money damages; or
 
  •  redesign the products that use the technology.
 
Any of these actions could result in a substantial reduction in our revenue and could result in losses over an extended period of time.

We are the target of a securities class action complaint and are at risk of securities class action litigation, which could result in costs and divert management attention and resources.
 
We are one of hundreds of defendants in a consolidated set of class action lawsuits, filed by plaintiffs (the “Plaintiffs”) against hundreds of public companies (the “Issuers”) that went public in the late 1990s and early 2000s (collectively, the “IPO Lawsuits”). In June 2003, Issuers and Plaintiffs reached a tentative settlement agreement and entered into a memorandum of understanding, providing for, among other things, a dismissal with prejudice and full release of the Issuers and their officers and directors from all liability resulting from Plaintiffs’ claims, and the assignment to Plaintiffs of certain potential claims that the Issuers may have against the underwriters. In addition, the tentative settlement guarantees that, in the event that the Plaintiffs recover less than $1 billion in settlement or judgment against the underwriter defendants in the IPO Lawsuits, the Plaintiffs would be entitled to payment by each participating Issuer’s insurer of a pro rata share of any shortfall in the Plaintiffs’ guaranteed recovery. In such event, our obligation would be limited to the amount remaining under the deductible of $1.0 million of our insurance policy. In September 2003, in connection with the tentative settlement, our officers and directors who entered tolling agreements with the Plaintiffs (described above) agreed to extend those agreements so that they would not expire prior to any settlement being finalized. In June 2004, we executed a settlement agreement with the Plaintiffs. On February 15, 2005, the Court issued a decision certifying a class action for settlement purposes and granting preliminary approval of the settlement subject to modification of certain bar orders contemplated by the settlement. On April 24, 2006, the Court held a hearing to consider whether the settlement should finally be approved, and took the matter of final approval under submission. In addition, the settlement is still subject to statutory notice requirements as well as final judicial approval. Pending final approval of the settlement, we continue to believe that the action against us is without merit and, we intend to defend against it vigorously.
 
Our lengthy and variable qualification and sales cycle requires us to incur substantial costs to make a sale, and if the sale does not occur then we will have incurred these expenses without obtaining increased sales.
 
Our customers typically expend significant efforts in evaluating and qualifying our products and manufacturing process prior to placing an order. This evaluation and qualification process frequently results in a lengthy sales cycle, typically ranging from nine to twelve months and sometimes longer. During the period that our customers are evaluating our products and before they place an order with us, we may incur substantial sales, marketing and research and development expenses, expend significant management efforts, and increase manufacturing capacity and order long lead-time supplies. Even after this evaluation process, it is possible that a potential customer will not purchase our products.
 
In addition, our customers’ product purchases are frequently subject to unplanned processing and other delays, particularly with respect to larger customers for which our products represent a very small percentage of their overall purchase activity. Long sales cycles may cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly and unexpectedly from quarter to quarter, which could cause volatility in our stock price.
 
We depend on key personnel to manage our business effectively in a rapidly changing market, and if we are unable to retain our key employees and hire additional personnel, our ability to sell our products could be harmed.
 
Our future success depends upon the continued services of our executive officers and other key engineering, finance, sales, marketing, manufacturing and support personnel. In addition, we depend substantially upon the continued services of key management personnel at our Chinese subsidiaries. None of our officers or key employees is bound by an employment agreement for any specific term, and these personnel may terminate their employment at any time. In addition, we do not have “key person” life insurance policies covering any of our employees.
 
Our ability to continue to attract and retain highly-skilled personnel will be a critical factor in determining whether we will be successful in the future. Competition for highly-skilled personnel is intense. We may not be successful in attracting, assimilating or retaining qualified personnel to fulfill our current or future needs. In addition, our management team has experienced significant personnel changes over the past and may continue to


22


Table of Contents

experience changes in the future. If our management team experiences further changes and does not work effectively together, it could substantially harm our business.
 
Because some of our third-party sales representatives and distributors carry products of one or more of our competitors, they may not recommend our products over competitors’ products.
 
Our sales representatives and distributors are independent organizations that generally have exclusive geographic territories and generally are compensated on a commission basis. We are currently migrating some of our larger customers to direct sales. We expect that we will continue to rely on our independent sales representatives and distributors to market, sell and support many of our products for a substantial portion of our revenues. Some of our third-party sales representatives and distributors carry products of one or more of our competitors. As a result, these sales representatives and distributors may not recommend our products over competitors’ products, which could decrease our sales and harm our business.
 
Our failure to comply with governmental regulations could subject us to liability.
 
Our failure to comply with a variety of federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States and China could subject us to criminal, civil and administrative penalties. Our products are subject to U.S. export control laws and regulations that regulate the export of products and disclosure of technical information to foreign countries and citizens. In some instances, these laws and regulations may require licenses for the export of products to, and disclosure of technology in, some countries, including China, and disclosure of technology to foreign citizens. With the exception of two commodity classifications we obtained from the Department of Commerce in 2001 with respect to some of our current products, we have generally relied on self-classification in determining whether an export license is required and have determined that export licenses are not required. As we develop and commercialize new products and technologies, the list of products and technologies subject to U.S. export controls changes, or in the event that the relevant export authorities disagree with the outcome of our self-classification, we may be required to obtain export licenses or other approvals with respect to those products and technologies and may possibly be subject to penalties under applicable laws. We cannot predict whether these licenses and approvals will be required and, if so, whether they will be granted. The failure to obtain any required license or approval could harm our business.
 
We ship inventory and other materials to and from our facilities in China and, as a result, are subject to various Chinese and U.S. customs-related laws. Given the geographic distance and changing regulations and governmental standards, it can be difficult to monitor and enforce compliance with customs laws. For example, there have been inventory and other materials shipped to and from our facilities in China for which, upon arrival of the goods, there was not sufficient documentation to demonstrate the items comply with all local customs regulations. The U.S. Customs Service may also require us to revise product classifications from time to time with respect to various items imported into the United States. In such cases we may be required to pay any increase in customs duty to account for the difference in duty actually paid by Oplink and the duty owed under the amended product classification, and may also be subject to penalties under applicable laws.
 
In addition, from time to time we enter into transfer pricing arrangements with our subsidiaries to establish sales prices for internal distributions of goods that have the effect of allocating taxes between the parent corporation and our subsidiaries. In general, these transfer prices have not been approved by any governmental entity and, therefore, may be challenged by the applicable tax authorities. China tax authorities have recently announced that they plan to increase transfer-pricing audits, and have specifically identified telecommunications companies, among others, as priority targets.
 
We employ a number of foreign nationals in our U.S. operations and, as a result, we are subject to various laws related to the status of those employees with the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services. We also send our U.S. employees to China from time to time and for varying durations of time to assist with our Chinese operations. Depending on the durations of such arrangements, we may be required to withhold and pay personal income taxes in respect of the affected U.S. employees directly to the Chinese tax authorities, and the affected U.S. employees may be required to register with various Chinese governmental authorities. Our failure to comply with the foregoing laws and regulations or any other applicable laws and regulations could subject us to liability.


23


Table of Contents

In addition, we are subject to laws relating to the storage, use, discharge and disposal of toxic or otherwise hazardous or regulated chemicals or materials used in our manufacturing processes. While we believe that we are currently in compliance in all material respects with these laws and regulations, if we fail to store, use, discharge or dispose of hazardous materials appropriately, we could be subject to substantial liability or could be required to suspend or adversely modify our manufacturing operations. In addition, we could be required to pay for the cleanup of our properties if they are found to be contaminated, even if we are not responsible for the contamination.
 
Enacted and proposed changes in securities laws and regulations have increased and are likely to continue to increase our costs.
 
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act has required and will continue to require changes in some of our corporate governance and securities disclosure or compliance practices. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act also requires the SEC to promulgate new rules on a variety of subjects, in addition to rule proposals already made, and we may need to make further changes in response to such new rules. In addition, NASDAQ has revised its requirements for companies that are NASDAQ-listed, such as us. We expect these developments (i) have required and may continue to require us to devote additional resources to our operational, financial and management information systems procedures and controls to ensure our continued compliance with current and future laws and regulations, (ii) will make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage, increase our level of self-insurance, or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage, and (iii) could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, or qualified executive officers. For example, to implement plans and measures to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“the Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and other related rules, we expended significant resources and incurred significant expenses. We are presently evaluating and monitoring regulatory developments and cannot estimate the timing or magnitude of additional costs we may incur as a result.
 
Failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could impair the reliability of our financial statements, cause us to delay filing our periodic reports with the SEC, harm our reputation and adversely affect our stock price.
 
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that we establish and maintain an adequate internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting and include a report of management on our internal control over financial reporting (“Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K each year. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in the Form 10-K. Although our management and independent registered public accounting firm have concluded that no material weaknesses in our Company’s internal control over financial reporting exist as of June 30, 2006, and although we believe that we are taking adequate measures to ensure that we maintain an adequate internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting, we can not assure you that this will be the case in the future periods. If, in the future, our management is unable to assert in the Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting to be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for any fiscal year that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective as of the end of such fiscal year, or if the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is unable to attest that Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting is fairly stated or it is unable to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, the reliability of our consolidated financial statements could be impaired, we may be unable to timely file with the SEC our Annual Report on Form 10-K for such fiscal year and the Company’s reputation could be harmed, any of which could adversely affect our stock price. In addition, if we are not otherwise able to maintain adequate compliance with of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we could become subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the SEC or The NASDAQ Stock Market.
 
Changes in existing financial accounting standards or practices may adversely affect our results of operations.
 
Changes in existing accounting rules or practices, new accounting pronouncements or varying interpretations of current accounting pronouncements could have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations or the


24


Table of Contents

manner in which we conduct our business. Further, such changes could potentially affect our reporting of transactions completed before such changes are effective. For example, for purposes of our 2005 fiscal year quarterly and annual financial reports, we were not required to expense stock compensation charges in connection with stock option grants to our employees and stock purchases under our employee stock purchase plan. Recent changes to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidelines relating to accounting for stock compensation increased our compensation expense starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) (“SFAS 123(R)”) could make our net income/loss less predictable in any given reporting period and could harm our business. To mitigate future impact, we may revise our equity compensation program, which may negatively impact our ability to attract and retain highly skilled employees.
 
Because of the rapid changes taking place in the fiber optics industry, we expect to experience significant volatility in our stock price, which could cause you to lose all or part of your investment.
 
Because of the rapid changes taking place in the fiber optics industry, we expect the market price of our common stock to fluctuate significantly. For example, the market price of our common stock has fluctuated from a high sales price of $285.67 to a low sales price of $3.71 during the period from October 3, 2000, the date of our initial public offering, to June 30, 2006. These fluctuations may occur in response to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:
 
  •  economic downturn in the fiber optics industry;
 
  •  preannouncement of financial results;
 
  •  quarterly variations in our operating results;
 
  •  changes in financial estimates by securities analysts and our failure to meet estimates;
 
  •  changes in market values of comparable companies;
 
  •  announcements by our competitors or us of new products or of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures;
 
  •  any loss by us of a major customer;
 
  •  the outcome of, and costs associated with, any litigation to which we are or may become a party;
 
  •  additions or departures of key management or engineering personnel; and
 
  •  future sales of our common stock.
 
The price of our common stock may also be affected by general economic and market conditions, and the cost of operations in our product markets. While we cannot predict the individual effect that these factors may have on the price of our common stock, these factors, either individually or in the aggregate, could result in significant variations in price during any given period of time and could adversely affect the trading prices of our common stock.
 
Provisions of our charter documents and Delaware law and other arrangements may have anti-takeover effects that could prevent any change in control, which could negatively affect your investment.
 
Provisions of Delaware law and of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. These provisions permit us to:
 
  •  issue preferred stock with rights senior to those of the common stock without any further vote or action by the stockholders;
 
  •  provide for a classified board of directors;
 
  •  eliminate the right of the stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders;
 
  •  eliminate the right of stockholders to act by written consent; and


25

  •  impose various procedural and other requirements, which could make it difficult for stockholders to effect certain corporate actions.
 
In addition, on March 18, 2002, our Board of Directors adopted a share purchase rights plan, which has certain additional anti-takeover effects. Specifically, the terms of the plan provide for a dividend distribution of one preferred share purchase right for each outstanding share of common stock. These rights would cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire us on terms not approved by our Board of Directors.
 
Any of the foregoing provisions could limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.
 
Item 2.   Properties
 
In July 2004, we purchased a building in Fremont, California, totaling approximately 51,000 square feet. The building is used for administrative, sales and marketing, and research and development. We relocated our headquarters in San Jose, California to the newly acquired building in the third quarter of fiscal 2005.
 
We own our facility in the Zhuhai Free Trade Zone, China, totaling approximately 667,000 square feet. Our facility in the Zhuhai Free Trade Zone is used for administration, manufacturing, research and development and employee living quarters. We currently lease 34,000 square feet of our facility in the Zhuhai Free Trade Zone to third parties and will attempt to lease the remaining areas that are in excess of our current requirements to third parties.
 
We also lease a total of approximately 55,000 square feet in Shanghai, China. Our Shanghai facilities are used for administration, manufacturing and research and development. The leases for our Shanghai facilities expire in July 2008.
 
We believe that our current facilities will be adequate for our purposes for the foreseeable future.
 
Item 3.   Legal Proceedings
 
In November 2001, we and certain of our officers and directors were named as defendants in a class action shareholder complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, now captioned In re Oplink Communications, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, Case No. 01-CV-9904. In the amended complaint, the plaintiffs allege that we, certain of our officers and directors and the underwriters of our initial public offering, or IPO, violated Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 based on allegations that our registration statement and prospectus failed to disclose material facts regarding the compensation to be received by, and the stock allocation practices of, the IPO underwriters. The complaint also contains a claim for violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on allegations that this omission constituted a deceit on investors. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and other relief. Similar complaints were filed by plaintiffs (the “Plaintiffs”) against hundreds of other public companies (the “Issuers”) that went public in the late 1990s and early 2000s (collectively, the “IPO Lawsuits”).
 
On August 8, 2001, the IPO Lawsuits were consolidated for pretrial purposes before United States Judge Shira Scheindlin of the Southern District of New York. On July 15, 2002, we joined in a global motion filed by all of the Issuers (among others) to dismiss the IPO Lawsuits. On October 9, 2002, the court entered an order dismissing our named officers and directors from the IPO Lawsuits without prejudice, pursuant to an agreement tolling the statute of limitations with respect to these officers and directors until September 30, 2003. On February 19, 2003, the court issued a decision denying the motion to dismiss the Section 11 claims against us and almost all of the Issuers, and granting the motion to dismiss the Section 10(b) claim against us without leave to amend.
 
In June 2003, the Issuers and Plaintiffs reached a tentative settlement agreement and entered into a memorandum of understanding, providing for, among other things, a dismissal with prejudice and full release of the Issuers and their officers and directors from all liability resulting from Plaintiffs’ claims, and the assignment to Plaintiffs of certain potential claims that the Issuers may have against the underwriters. In addition, the tentative settlement guarantees that, in the event that the Plaintiffs recover less than $1 billion in settlement or judgment against the underwriter defendants in the IPO Lawsuits, the Plaintiffs would be entitled to payment by each

participating Issuer’s insurer of a pro rata share of any shortfall in the Plaintiff’s guaranteed recovery. In such event, our obligation would be limited to the amount remaining under the deductible of $1.0 million of our insurance policy. In September 2003, in connection with the tentative settlement, our officers and directors who had entered tolling agreements with the Plaintiffs (described above) agreed to extend those agreements so that they would not expire prior to any settlement being finalized. In June 2004, we executed a formal settlement agreement with the Plaintiffs. On February 15, 2005, the Court issued a decision certifying a class action for settlement purposes and granting preliminary approval of the settlement subject to modification of certain bar orders contemplated by the settlement. On April 24, 2006, the Court held a hearing to consider whether the settlement should finally be approved, and took the matter of final approval under submission. In addition, the settlement is still subject to statutory notice requirements as well as final judicial approval. Pending final approval of the settlement, we continue to believe that the action against us is without merit and intend to defend against it vigorously.
 
On December 17, 2001, OZ Optics Limited, OZ Optics, Inc. and Bitmath, Inc. (collectively, “OZ”) sued four individuals and us in California Superior Court for the County of Alameda. One of the four individual defendants is our former Vice President of Product Line Management, who joined us on November 1, 2001 and whose employment with us terminated on December 17, 2002. The other three are unrelated to us. The complaint alleged trade secret misappropriation and related claims against the four individuals and us concerning OZ’s alleged polarization mode dispersion technology. The plaintiffs sought actual damages against the four individuals and us in the amounts of approximately $17,550,000 and $1,500,000, respectively, and enhanced damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorney fees, and other relief. The plaintiffs sought a temporary restraining order in December 2001, which the court denied, and withdrew their preliminary injunction motion against us. We answered the complaint on January 22, 2002, denying plaintiffs’ claims. In August 2004, we settled the lawsuit with respect to the claims against us and OZ agreed to dismiss the case against us with prejudice. To our knowledge OZ is continuing to pursue its lawsuit against all the defendants other than us, and we may be obligated to indemnify our former Vice President of Product Line Management for certain amounts in connection with her prior employment with us. In the event that we incur such an obligation, we believe we have obtained sufficient director and officer liability insurance to cover this contingency.
 
We are subject to legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
Item 4.   Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
 
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.

Item 5.   Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
 
Market for Registrant’s Common Equity
 
Our common stock has been quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbol “OPLK” since our initial public offering in October 2000. Prior to that time, there was no public market for our common stock. The following table sets forth the range of high and low bid prices for our common stock for each period indicated:

  $ 15.75     $ 10.22  
 
As of August 31, 2006 there were approximately 201 stockholders of record and the price per share of our common stock was $19.63. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently expect to retain future earnings, if any, for use in the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
 
Use of Proceeds From Sales of Registered Securities
 
On October 3, 2000, the SEC declared effective our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-41506). Pursuant to this Registration Statement, we completed an initial public offering of 2,250,714 shares of common stock, including the over-allotment shares, at an initial public offering price of $126.00 per share. We incurred expenses of approximately $22.6 million, of which $19.9 million represented underwriting discounts and commissions and $2.7 million represented other related expenses. The net offering proceeds to Oplink after total expenses were $261.0 million. As of June 30, 2006, we had $188.3 million in cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments.
 
Repurchases of Equity Securities
 
On September 26, 2001, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to an aggregate of $21.2 million of our common stock. On September 19, 2002, our Board of Directors approved an increase in our buyback plan to repurchase up to an aggregate of $40.0 million of our common stock. These repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices, in negotiated transactions off the market or pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan adopted by us. In accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act, we adopted a plan in August 2002, which allows us to repurchase our shares during specified periods when we are likely to be in possession of material non-public information. We repurchased $11,000 of our common stock during fiscal 2006. As of June 30, 2006, we had repurchased shares of our common stock with an aggregate repurchase price of $35.2 million under the repurchase program.

Item 7.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
This discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including, without limitation, statements regarding our anticipated revenues, gross margins and expense levels for future periods, and other statements reflecting our expectations, beliefs, intentions or future strategies that are signified by the words “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate” or “assume” or similar language. All forward-looking statements included herein are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. We caution you that our business and financial performance are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. In evaluating our business, you should also carefully consider the information set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” contained in Item 1A above in addition to the information contained in this Item 7. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
 
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with “Item 6. Selected Financial Data” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
 
On January 1, 2001, we adopted a fiscal year which ends on the Sunday closest to June 30. Interim fiscal quarters will end on the Sunday closest to each calendar quarter end. In this report, for presentation purposes, we present each fiscal year as if it ended on June 30, and each fiscal quarter as if it ended on September 30, December 31 or March 31, as the case may be. Fiscal year 2005 was a 53-week fiscal year, one week more than a typical fiscal year. Fiscal years 2006 and 2004 consisted of 52 weeks. For more information, please see Note 1 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this report.
 
In May 2003, we adopted a plan to sell our Shanghai operation. As the sale of the Shanghai operation represented a disposal of a “component of an entity” as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets,” (“SFAS No. 144”), the Shanghai operation was accounted as a discontinued operation. In May 2004, one year following the planned sale of our Shanghai operation and considering growth in the telecommunications market, we determined that this facility is more strategic to our operations than in prior periods due to the need to ensure a supply of the parts manufactured at the Shanghai facility as a result of an increase in demand for these types of parts in the market and the acquisition of one of our suppliers by one of our competitors. Therefore, we decided not to dispose of this facility and returned it to continuing operations. Operating results of the Shanghai operation have been reclassified from discontinued to continuing operations for periods prior to fiscal 2005.
 
Overview
 
We provide design, integration and optical manufacturing solutions (“OMS”) for optical networking components and subsystems that expand optical bandwidth, amplify optical signals, monitor and protect wavelength

Table of Contents

performance, redirect light signals, reshape light profile to enable extended signal reach and provide signal transmission and reception within an optical network. Our product portfolio includes solutions for next-generation, all-optical dense and coarse wavelength division multiplexing (“DWDM” and “CWDM,” respectively), optical amplification, switching and routing, monitoring and conditioning, dispersion management and line transmission applications. As a photonic foundry, we offer our customers expert OMS for the production and packaging of highly-integrated optical subsystems and turnkey solutions based upon a customer’s specific product design and specifications. Our broad line of products and services is designed to increase the performance of optical networks and enable optical system manufacturers to provide flexible and scalable bandwidth to support the increase of data traffic on the Internet and other public and private networks. We offer advanced and cost-effective optical-electrical components and subsystem manufacturing through our facilities in Zhuhai and Shanghai, China. In addition, we maintain optical-centric front-end design, application, and customer service functions at our headquarters in Fremont, California. Our customers include telecommunications, data communications and cable TV equipment manufacturers located around the globe.
 
Our management team, on an internal basis, informally monitors worldwide economic trends and in particular activity within the telecommunication sector. This includes known contracts being placed by end users with our current or potential new customers. Over the past several quarters, we have noticed a general increase in spending activity in the telecommunications sector as well as a general improvement in the worldwide economic environment. We have also noticed a general increase in the number of contracts being placed by end users with our current or potential new customers, which we believe indicates a trend towards increasing opportunities for growth in our revenues. However, our belief that our current or potential new customers are receiving orders does not necessarily mean we will be a beneficiary of such orders, but does provide us with an early notice of potential activity. To obtain orders from our current or potential new customers, we would need to be selected as a potential vendor and, subsequently, would need to demonstrate we can meet all of the order and quality requirements of our current or potential new customers. To the extent we receive new orders, these orders may be only for trial units and future full deployment orders may not necessarily follow.
 
REVENUES.  We generate substantially all of our revenues from the sale of fiber optic components and subsystems. To date, we have developed over 170 standard products that are sold or integrated into customized solutions for our customers. Our products are generally categorized into the following major groups: our bandwidth creation products, which include wavelength expansion and optical amplification products; and our bandwidth management products, which include optical switching products and wavelength performance monitoring and protection products. A majority of our revenues are derived from our bandwidth creation products, which include our wavelength expansion products, in particular, multiplexers.
 
COST OF REVENUES.  Our cost of revenues consists of raw material, salaries including stock compensation expense and related personnel expense, manufacturing overhead, and provisions for excess and obsolete inventories and warranty costs. We expect cost of revenues, as a percentage of revenues, to fluctuate from period to period. Our gross margins will primarily be affected by mix of products sold, manufacturing volume, our pricing policies, production yield, costs incurred in improving manufacturing processes, provisions for excess and obsolete inventories and warranty costs.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES.  Our research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries including stock compensation expense and related personnel costs, depreciation, non-recurring engineering charges and prototype costs, patent filing costs and fees paid to consultants and outside service providers, all of which relate to the design, development, testing, pre-manufacturing and significant improvement of our products. We expense our research and development costs as they are incurred.
 
SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES.  Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries including stock compensation expense and related expenses for marketing, sales, customer service and application engineering support personnel, commissions paid to internal and external sales representatives, as well as costs associated with trade shows and other marketing expenses.
 
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries including stock compensation expense and related expenses for executive, finance, accounting, and human resources personnel, professional fees and other corporate expenses.

STOCK COMPENSATION EXPENSE.  Effective July 1, 2005, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”) using the modified prospective transition method. Under this transition method, stock compensation expense for fiscal 2006 includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of July 1, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provision of SFAS No. 123,“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”). Stock compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted after July 1, 2005 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). We recognize these compensation costs net of an estimated forfeiture rate over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of four years for stock options. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) regarding the SEC’s interpretation of SFAS No. 123(R) and the valuation of share-based payments for public companies. We have applied the provisions of SAB 107 in the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). Stock compensation expense recorded in cost of revenues, research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative is the amortization of the fair value of share-based payments made to employees and members of our board of directors, primarily in the form of stock options and purchases under the employee stock purchase plan as we adopted the provision of SFAS No. 123(R) on July 1, 2005 (see Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Stock Compensation). All of our stock compensation is accounted for as an equity instrument.
 
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we measured compensation expense for stock compensation made to our employee and members of our board of directors, primarily in the form of stock options and purchases under the employee stock purchase plan, using the intrinsic value method provided by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. We applied the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosures” as if the fair-value-based method had been applied in measuring compensation expense. We recorded employee stock compensation expense prior to fiscal 2006 for options granted to employees with an exercise price less than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
 
Prior to and after our initial public offering, we granted stock options and issued warrants to employees and consultants at prices below the fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant or issuance. During the period from July 1, 1998 through June 30, 2005, we recorded aggregate deferred stock compensation, net of cancellations due to terminations of employment, of approximately $50.2 million, of which $121,000 and $1.7 million was expensed during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. With respect to employee stock compensation, we amortized the deferred compensation expense over the vesting period of the related stock options, as set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 28, “Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans” (“FIN No. 28”). Under the FIN No. 28 method, each vested tranche of options is accounted for as a separate option grant awarded for services. The compensation expense is recognized over the period during which the services are provided. Accordingly, this method results in higher compensation expenses being recognized in the earlier vesting periods of an option. Stock options or warrants granted to non-employees were accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” and valued using the Black-Scholes model. The compensation expense related to non-employees’ stock option grants was amortized over the vesting period as set forth in FIN No. 28.
 
ACQUISITIONS.  In November 2005, we acquired approximately 96% of the outstanding share capital of F3 Inc. (“F3”), a fabless semiconductor company based in the Science Based Industrial Park, Hsin-Chu, Taiwan that has developed an ASIC chip for our Shanghai operation’s networking software solution capability to address the Skype Voice over IP and IM market. We anticipate through this natural progression to be able to participate in an additional segment of the telecom market and hope to thereby diversify our product offering and participate in a segment that has higher growth potential than our current telecom products. The purchase price was comprised of $4.6 million in cash and approximately $40,000 in transaction costs. We purchased the shares directly from the F3 shareholders. The outstanding shares that we did not purchase, constituting approximately 4% of F3’s outstanding share capital, will remain outstanding and will continue to be held by the F3 shareholders. The

results of F3’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date. The F3 acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
 
In January 2006, we entered into a definitive agreement to purchase fixed assets, inventories and certain intangible assets of Fibercom Optics Communication Corp. (“Fibercom”) for $2.0 million in cash and approximately $16,000 in transaction costs. Fibercom is a passive component and connector manufacturer based in Taiwan. We paid $1.5 million in fiscal 2006 and the remaining $500,000 is subject to an escrow to secure against Fibercom’s breach of representations and warranties. The Fibercom acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
 
Use of Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to product returns, accounts receivable, inventories, tangible and intangible assets, warranty obligations, restructuring, stock compensation, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates due to actual outcomes being different from those on which we based our assumptions. These estimates and judgments are reviewed by management on an ongoing basis, and by the Audit Committee at the end of each quarter prior to the public release of our financial results. We believe the following critical accounting policies, and our procedures relating to these policies, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
 
Revenue Recognition and Product Returns
 
We recognize revenue using the guidance from SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition,” which revises or rescinds certain sections of SAB No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” SFAS No. 48, “Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists.” Under these guidelines, we recognize revenue from product sales upon shipment of the product or customer acceptance, which ever is later, provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and no significant obligations remain, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue associated with contract-related cancellation payments from customers when a formal agreement is signed or a purchase order is issued by the customer covering these payments and we determine the collectibility of the cancellation payments to be reasonably assured. In addition, we estimate future product returns based upon actual historical return rates and reduce our revenue by these estimated future returns. If the historical data we use to calculate these estimates does not properly reflect future returns, future estimates could be revised accordingly.
 
Warranty Obligations
 
We provide reserves for the estimated costs of product warranties at the time we recognize revenue based on our historical experience of known product failure rates and expected material and labor costs to provide warranty services. Additionally, from time to time, we may make specific warranty accruals if unforeseen technical problems arise. Should our actual experience relative to these factors differ from estimates, we may be required to record additional warranty reserves, which would negatively affect our operating results. Alternatively, if our estimates are determined to be greater than the actual amounts necessary, we may reverse a portion of these provisions in future periods, which would positively affect our operating results.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
Our accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers located in the United States, Europe, Asia and Canada. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and currently require no collateral from our customers. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses in


33


Table of Contents

anticipation of the inability or unwillingness of customers to make required payments. When we become aware that a specific customer is unable to meet its financial obligations, such as the result of bankruptcy or deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position, we record a specific allowance equal to the amount due to reflect the level of credit risk in the customer’s outstanding receivable balance. We are not able to predict changes in the financial condition of customers, nor are we able to predict whether a customer experiencing financial difficulties will ultimately pay us the amounts owed. If the condition or circumstances of our customers deteriorates, estimates of the recoverability of trade receivables could be materially affected and we may be required to record additional allowances, which would negatively affect our operating results in that period. Alternatively, if our estimates are determined to be greater than the actual amounts necessary, we may reverse a portion of such allowance in future periods based on actual collection experience, which would positively increase our operating results in the future periods.
 
Excess and Obsolete Inventory
 
We regularly assess the valuation of inventories and write down those inventories which are obsolete or in excess of forecasted usage to their estimated realizable value. Estimates of realizable value are based upon our analyses and assumptions including, but not limited to, forecasted sales levels by product, expected product lifecycle, product development plans and future demand requirements. If market conditions are less favorable than our forecast or actual demand from customers is lower than our estimates, we may be required to record additional inventory write-downs. If demand is higher than expected, we may sell inventories that had previously been written down as was the case in the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004. Our gross margins were positively impacted by the unexpected utilization of fully reserved inventory of $698,000, $402,000 and $1.0 million in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
 
Long-Lived Asset Valuation
 
We evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets, whenever certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. These events or circumstances include, but are not limited to, a prolonged industry downturn, a significant decline in our market value, or significant reductions in projected future cash flows. In assessing the recoverability of long-lived assets, we generally compare the carrying value to the undiscounted future cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If the total of the undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, we would write down such assets based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined by calculating the discounted future cash flows using a discount rate based upon our weighted average cost of capital, and specific appraisal in certain instances. Significant judgments and assumptions are required in the forecast of future operating results used in the preparation of the estimated future cash flows, including long-term forecasts of the amounts and timing of overall market growth and our percentage of that market, groupings of assets, discount rate and terminal growth rates. Changes in these estimates could have a material adverse effect on the assessment of long-lived assets, thereby requiring us to write down the assets. In fiscal 2005, a charge of $322,000 was recorded based upon an impairment analysis of the carrying amount of the purchased intangible assets related to the acquisitions of Accumux and Gigabit during fiscal 2004.
 
Business Combination
 
We account for our purchases of acquired companies in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” (“SFAS No. 141”) and account for the related acquired intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” In accordance with SFAS No. 141, we allocate the cost of the acquired companies to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the remaining amount being classified as goodwill. We amortize certain intangible assets to expense over time, while we immediately expense in-process research and development costs, or IP R&D, in the period the acquisition is completed. We record the values of assets and liabilities based on third-party valuations and internal estimates. The values are based on our judgments and estimates and, accordingly, our financial position or results of operations may be affected by changes in these estimates and judgments.

Deferred Taxes
 
We currently have significant deferred tax assets, which are subject to periodic recoverability assessments. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that we believe to be more likely than not realizable. We have recorded a valuation allowance in an amount equal to the net deferred tax assets to reflect uncertainty regarding future realization of these assets based on past performance and the likelihood of realization of our deferred tax assets.
 
Stock Compensation
 
We account for stock compensation costs in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R)and apply the provisions of SAB 107. We utilize the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the grant date fair value of employee stock compensation awards, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Historical and implied volatility were used in estimating the fair value of our stock compensation awards, while the expected life for our options was estimated based on historical trends since our initial public offering. Further, as required under SFAS No. 123(R), we now estimate forfeitures for stock compensation awards that are not expected to vest. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fair value of our stock compensation. We charge the estimated fair value to earnings on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the underlying awards, which is generally four years for our stock option awards and up to two years for purchase rights under our employee stock purchase plan.
 
The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. As our stock option and employee stock purchase plan awards have characteristics that differ significantly from traded options, and as changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimated value, our estimate of fair value may not accurately represent the value assigned by a third party in an arms-length transaction. There currently is no market-based mechanism to verify the reliability and accuracy of the estimates derived from the Black-Scholes option pricing model or other allowable valuation models, nor is there a means to compare and adjust the estimates to actual values. While our estimate of fair value and the associated charge to earnings materially affects our results of operations, it has no impact on our cash position.
 
The guidance in SFAS No. 123(R) and SAB 107 is relatively new and the application of these principles may be subject to further interpretation and guidance. There are significant variations among allowable valuation models, and there is a possibility that we may adopt a different valuation model or refine the inputs and assumptions under our current valuation model in the future resulting in a lack of consistency in future periods. Our current or future valuation model and the inputs and assumptions we make may also lack comparability to other companies that use different models, inputs, or assumptions, and the resulting differences in comparability could be material.

Revenue for the year ended June 30, 2006 increased from the revenue for the year ended June 30, 2005 primarily due to greater unit shipments of our bandwidth creation products and to a lesser extent to greater unit shipments of our bandwidth management products. The increased unit shipments were the result of increased capital equipment purchases by telecom service providers worldwide from our customers. To a certain extent increased unit shipments were offset by minor decreases in the average selling prices of our products during the year ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the year ended June 30, 2005.

Table of Contents

Revenue for the year ended June 30, 2005 was substantially unchanged from the revenue for the year ended June 30, 2004. We did experience a manufacturing-related problem during the year ended June 30, 2005, which negatively impacted our revenue for the year ended June 30, 2005 and contributed to our revenue being substantially unchanged from the year ended June 30, 2004. We have identified and believe we have remedied the manufacturing-related problem. However, we have no assurance that we can prevent such problems from recurring in the future. To a certain extent increased unit shipments were offset by minor decreases in the average selling prices of our products during the year ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the year ended June 30, 2004.
 
We anticipate that there will be further declines in average selling prices through the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007. We also expect an increase of approximately 10% to 12% in revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.

Gross profit margin
    28.2 %     28.0 %                     28.0 %     33.3                
 
The increase in gross profit for the year ended June 30, 2006 compared to the year ended June 30, 2005 was primarily due to a higher number of unit shipments as well as lower depreciation expenses, partially offset by higher production labor costs as a result of higher production volume, an increase in costs due to a benefit from the resolution of vendor liabilities of $1.6 million in the year ended June 30, 2005, and higher production management labor costs. Our gross profit for the year ended June 30, 2006 was also positively impacted by the unexpected sale of inventory that had been previously fully reserved of $698,000, compared to the unexpected sale during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 of inventory that had been previously fully reserved of $402,000. Unexpected sales of fully reserved inventory have remained approximately the same percentage of annual revenue. However, we have no visibility to the amount of such sales in the future, if any.
 
The decrease in gross profit for the year ended June 30, 2005 compared to the year ended June 30, 2004 was primarily due to higher material and production labor costs during fiscal 2005 and significant higher unexpected sales of inventory during fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2005 that have been previously fully reserved. In addition, in the year ended June 30, 2005 compared to the year ended June 30, 2004 we had higher depreciation expense primarily as a result of the return of our Shanghai operation to continuing operations from discontinued operations. Our gross profit for the year ended June 30, 2005 was positively impacted by the resolution of vendor liabilities of $1.6 million. Our gross profit for the year ended June 30, 2005 was also positively impacted by the unexpected sale of inventory that had been previously fully reserved of $402,000, compared to the unexpected sale during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 of inventory that had been previously fully reserved of $1.0 million.
 
Our gross profit margin remained substantially unchanged for the year ended June 30, 2006 compared to the year ended June 30, 2005 due to lower manufacturing costs relative to sales being offset by higher material costs relative to sales and the $1.6 million benefit as the result of the resolution of vendor liabilities in the year ended June 30, 2005.
 
Our gross profit margin decreased for the year ended June 30, 2005 compared to the year ended June 30, 2004 due to higher material costs relative to sales, higher manufacturing costs, net of a non-recurring $1.6 million benefit as the result of the resolution of vendor liabilities, relative to our production volume and lower unexpected sales of fully reserved inventory.
 
We expect our gross profit margin in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 to improve slightly compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.

The decrease in research and development expenses for the year ended June 30, 2006 compared to the year ended June 30, 2005 was primarily due to lower personnel and related facility costs as we transitioned the majority of our research and development effort from the United States to China. This lower expense was partially offset by research and development expenditures incurred by F3 subsequent to its acquisition and $555,000 higher stock compensation expense resulting from the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
 
The decrease in research and development expenses for the year ended June 30, 2005 compared to the year ended June 30, 2004 was primarily due to lower stock compensation expense and lower depreciation charges partially offset by higher personnel costs as our research and development efforts in China were expanded.
 
We expect our quarterly research and development expenses excluding stock compensation expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 to remain at approximately the same level as the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.

The increase in sales and marketing expenses for the year ended June 30, 2006 compared to the year ended June 30, 2005 was primarily due to $496,000 higher stock compensation expense resulting from the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, higher compensation expense as a result of an increase in revenue and sales and marketing expenses incurred by F3 subsequent to its acquisition.
 
The increase in sales and marketing expenses for the year ended June 30, 2005 compared to the year ended June 30, 2004 was primarily due to an expense of $352,000 associated with the one-time settlement of commissions payable to an external sales representative.
 
We expect our quarterly sales and marketing expenses excluding stock compensation expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 to remain at approximately the same level as the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.

The increase in general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2006 compared to the year ended June 30, 2005 was substantially due to an additional $1,169,000 of stock compensation expense resulting from the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, higher compensation charges due to an increase in personnel and higher professional fees to comply with the regulatory requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, partially offset by lower legal and settlement costs due to the settlement of two lawsuits in the year ended June 30, 2005.
 
The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2005 compared to the year ended June 30, 2004 was primarily due to $900,000 lower stock compensation expense, $764,000 of expense associated with the exploration of strategic business opportunities in the year ended June 30, 2004 and lower

insurance premiums for directors and officers liability insurance partially offset by an increase in professional fees to comply with the regulatory requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and legal and settlement costs for two lawsuits.

Effective July 1, 2005, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method. Under this transition method, stock compensation expense for fiscal 2006 includes compensation expense for all stock compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of July 1, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provision of SFAS No. 123. Stock compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted after July 1, 2005 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). We recognize these compensation costs net of an estimated forfeiture rate over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of four years for stock options. In March 2005, the SEC issued SAB 107 regarding the SEC’s interpretation of SFAS No. 123(R) and the valuation of share-based payments for public companies. We have applied the provisions of SAB 107 in the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). Stock compensation expense recorded in cost of revenues, research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative is the amortization of the fair value of share-based compensation made to employees and members of our board of directors, primarily in the form of stock options and purchases under the employee stock purchase plan as we adopted the provision of SFAS No. 123(R) on July 1, 2005 (see Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Stock Compensation). All of our stock compensation is accounted for as an equity instrument.
 
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we measured compensation expense for stock compensation made to our employee and members of our board of directors, primarily in the form of stock options and purchases under the employee stock purchase plan, using the intrinsic value method provided by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. We applied the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosures,” as if the fair-value-based method had been applied in measuring compensation expense. We recorded employee stock compensation expense prior to fiscal 2006 for options granted to employees with an exercise price less than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Therefore, stock compensation for the year ended June 30, 2006 is not comparable to stock compensation for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.
 
Prior to and after our initial public offering, we granted stock options and issued warrants to employees and consultants at prices below the fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant or issuance. During the period from July 1, 1998 through June 30, 2005, we recorded aggregate deferred stock compensation, net of cancellations due to terminations of employment, of approximately $50.2 million, of which $121,000 and $1.7 million was expensed during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. With respect to employee stock compensation, we amortized the deferred compensation expense over the vesting period of the related stock options, as set forth in FIN No. 28. Under the FIN No. 28 method, each vested tranche of options is accounted for as a separate option grant awarded for services. The compensation expense is recognized over the period during which the services are provided. Accordingly, this method results in higher compensation expenses being recognized in the earlier vesting periods of an option. Stock options or warrants granted to non-employees were accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” and valued using the

Black-Scholes model. The compensation expense related to non-employees’ stock option grants was amortized over the vesting period as set forth in FIN No. 28.
 
The decrease in stock compensation expenses for the year ended June 30, 2005 compared to the year ended June 30, 2004 was primarily due to the method under which stock compensation was amortized, as set out in FIN No. 28, which results in higher compensation expense in the earlier vesting periods of the related options.
 
We expect our stock compensation expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 to be approximately $1.0 million.
 
IMPAIRMENT CHARGE.  We noted impairment indicators during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 that the carrying value of purchased intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisition of Accumux and Gigabit in fiscal 2004 may not be recoverable and performed an impairment review. As a result, an impairment charge of $322,000 was recorded based on the amounts by which the carrying amounts of these assets exceeded their fair value. Fair value of the intangible assets was determined based on discounted future cash flows.

We recorded a benefit in the amount of $72,000 in fiscal 2006 as a result of the settlement with the landlord of one of our facilities in China. We did not incur any restructuring costs or other charges during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.
 
During fiscal 2004, we increased the restructuring liabilities related to consolidation of excess facilities and other charges by a total of $452,000, which was recorded during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, due to changes in real estate market conditions.
 
MERGER FEES.  On October 28, 2004, we and our newly-formed, wholly-owned Cayman Islands subsidiary, Cayman Oplink Communications, Inc., entered into a stock purchase agreement with all the shareholders of EZconn Corporation (“EZconn”), a privately-held Taiwanese company that manufactures cable and photonics components for broadband access equipment manufacturers. Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement and related ancillary agreements, we were to purchase all of the shares of EZconn and certain assets related to the business of EZconn. On January 17, 2005, we and EZconn agreed to terminate all agreements relating to our proposed acquisition of EZconn, due to recent market changes and competitive circumstances. We and EZconn entered into a settlement agreement whereby EZconn paid $2.0 million to us in termination fees. We incurred

approximately $1.1 million of expenses including withholding tax in connection with the terminated transaction and recorded a gain of $904,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.
 
IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.  We recorded $1,120,000 as IP R&D in fiscal 2006 in connection with the acquisition of F3. The IP R&D consisted of both the IC chipset and computer plug-in hardware/software solutions developed for Skype, Google-Talk and other similar web-based software that enable free or low-cost voice communication over the internet (“VoIP”) or instant messaging (“VoIM”) through the regular office and household corded or cordless call devices.
 
The value of the IP R&D products was determined by estimating the net cash flows from the sale of the products resulting from the completion of the respective R&D projects, reduced by the portion of the net cash flows from the revenue attributable to core technology. The resulting cash flows were then discounted back to their present value using a discount rate of 45%. At the time of the acquisition, these products had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use. The fair value assigned to the IP R&D in connection with the acquisition of F3 was $1,120,000 and was charged to expense at the time of the acquisition.
 
We acquired RedClover, Accumux and Gigabit in November 2003, February 2004 and March 2004, respectively. As a result of these acquisitions, we recorded $1.6 million of IP R&D for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004.
 
The IP R&D of $861,000 in connection with the acquisition of RedClover consisted of a single channel transponder which is being designed to provide 10 gigabyte per second, or Gb/s, ethernet physical transceiver layer for local area network applications, and a narrowly tunable transponder which is being designed to combine the functionality of a standard SFI-4 compliant electrical interface, 10 Gb/s optical interface, tunable laser, and adaptive receiver with embedded ultra-compact dispersion compensation in a single intelligent sub-system module for optical networks.
 
The IP R&D of $251,000 in connection with the acquisition of Accumux consisted of a standard-tunable DCM for DWDM fiber-optic communication systems, which will be installed into existing long haul networks to improve the performance of existing fiber cables and provide low residual transmission errors at speeds of up to 10 Gb/s.
 
The IP R&D of $453,000 in connection with the acquisition of Gigabit consisted of a next generation MicroMux which is a filter design coarse wavelength division multiplexing, or CWDM, device and is designed to accommodate large increases in packet based data traffic and a laser-equipped Micro-LX4 platform which has four CWDM laser diodes in a smaller footprint.
 
The value of the IP R&D was determined by estimating the net cash flows from the anticipated sale of the products resulting from the completion of the respective R&D projects, reduced by the portion of the net cash flows from the revenue attributable to core technology. The resulting cash flows were then discounted back to their present value using a discount rate ranging from 35% to 45%. At the time of the acquisitions, these products had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use. The fair value assigned to the IP R&D in connection with the acquisitions of RedClover, Accumux and Gigabit was charged to expense at the time of each acquisition, respectively.
 
AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE AND OTHER ASSETS.  Amortization of intangible and other assets of approximately $72,000, $185,000 and $56,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, represents charges incurred as a result of our acquisition of F3 in fiscal 2006 and Accumux and Gigabit in fiscal 2004.

The increases in interest income were primarily due to higher yields on our investments. The average rate of return for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was 3.8%, 2.3% and 1.3%, respectively. We anticipate that our interest income in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 to remain at approximately the same level as the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.
 
GAIN (LOSS) ON SALE OF ASSETS.  We incurred a loss of $458,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006 primarily due to charges required to re-measure assets held for sale at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. We recorded a loss of $96,000 and a gain of $68,000 for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, from the sale of fixed assets and intangible assets less or greater than the carrying amount of these assets.
 
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  We have recorded a tax provision of $73,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006. At June 30, 2006 we had approximately $107.5 million of federal and $52.9 million of state net operating loss carryforwards. Because of certain changes in ownership in 1999 and 1998, there is an annual limitation of approximately $600,000 on the use of the net operating loss carryforwards prior to 1999 pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. We may have additional limitations on the losses earned after 1999 under Section 382 that could further limit the future use of these losses. We have recorded a gross deferred tax asset of $49.9 million as of June 30, 2006, against which a valuation allowance is recorded that reduces the net deferred tax asset to zero, an amount that management believes will more likely than not be realized. Included in the June 30, 2006 valuation allowance is approximately $5.3 million related to stock options, which will be credited to stockholders’ equity when realized for tax purposes.

Our revenues and operating results are likely to vary significantly from quarter to quarter. The factors, many of which are more fully discussed in other risk factors, that are likely to cause these variations include, among others:
 
  •  economic downturn and uncertainty of the fiber optic industry;
 
  •  economic conditions specific to the communications and related industries and the development and size of the markets for our products;
 
  •  fluctuations in demand for, and sales of, our products;
 
  •  our inability to cut costs quickly in the event of market or demand downturns, due to the fact that a high percentage of our expenses, including those related to manufacturing, engineering, research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative functions, is fixed in the short term;
 
  •  cancellations of orders and shipment rescheduling;
 
  •  the ability of our manufacturing operations in China to timely produce and deliver products and           components in the quantity and of the quality our customers require;
 
  •  the availability of raw materials used in our products and increases in the price of these raw materials;
 
  •  our ability to successfully improve our manufacturing capability and achieve acceptable production yields in our facilities in China;
 
  •  the practice of communication equipment suppliers to sporadically place large orders with short lead times;
 
  •  the mix of products, including products that may contain a greater degree of raw material from third parties, and the average selling prices of the products we sell;
 
  •  competitive factors in the fiber optic components and subsystems market, including introductions of new products, new technologies and product enhancements by competitors, consolidation of competitors and pricing pressures;
 
  •  consolidation of our customers and/or the service provider end users may cause cancellation or delay of orders;
 
  •  our ability to develop, introduce, manufacture and ship new and enhanced optical networking products in a timely manner without defects;
 
  •  with respect to new products, a mismatching of research and development expenses and sales and marketing expenses that are incurred in one quarter with revenues that are not recognized, if at all, until a subsequent quarter when the new products are introduced and commercially accepted; and
 
  •  costs associated with and the outcomes of any intellectual property or other litigation to which we are, or may become, a party.
 
Due to the factors noted above and other factors noted under the caption entitled “Risk Factors” under Item 1A, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results will not be meaningful. You should not rely on our results for any one quarter as an indication of our future performance.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through issuances of equity, which totaled approximately $319.4 million in aggregate net proceeds, offset by $20.8 million in common stock repurchases, net of proceeds from exercise of stock options, employee stock purchase plan and warrants, through June 30, 2006. As of June 30, 2006, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments of $188.3 million and working capital of $138.3 million. We estimate that the sum of our cash, cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2007 will be approximately the same as the sum of our cash, cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments at the end of fiscal 2006.
 
We believe that our current cash, cash equivalent and short-term and long-term investment balances will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. We may use cash and cash

equivalents from time to time to fund our acquisition of businesses and technologies. We may be required to raise funds through public or private financings, strategic relationships or other arrangements. We cannot assure you that such funding, if needed, will be available on terms attractive to us, or at all. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. Our failure to raise capital when needed could harm our ability to pursue our business strategy and achieve and maintain profitability.
 
Fiscal 2006
 
Our operating activities provided $5.8 million of cash in fiscal 2006 as a result of our net income for fiscal 2006 of $1.9 million increased by $10.8 million primarily for the non-cash charges of depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, amortization of the premium on investments, loss on sale or disposal of assets and IP R&D offset by usage of $6.9 million for net changes in current assets and liabilities.
 
In fiscal 2006, the net change in assets and liabilities was primarily the result of changes in accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and accrued restructuring costs.
 
Accounts receivable used $6.0 million of cash primarily due to higher shipments during the last quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 compared to the last quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. Days sales outstanding in accounts receivable at the end of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 are 72 days and 73 days, respectively.
 
We typically bill customers on an open account basis with net thirty to ninety day payment terms. We would generally expect the level of accounts receivable at the end of any quarter to reflect the level of sales in that quarter and to change from one period to another in a direct relationship to the change in the level of sales. Our level of accounts receivable would also increase if customers delayed their payments or if we offered extended payment terms to our customers.
 
Inventories used $328,000 of cash during fiscal 2006 primarily due to increased volumes of unit sales and associated purchases of inventory required to meet customer demand.
 
In order to maintain an adequate supply of product for our customers, we must carry a certain level of inventory. Our inventory level may vary based primarily upon orders received from our customers and our forecast of demand for these products. These considerations are balanced against risk of obsolescence or potentially excess inventory levels. We generally expect the level of inventory to vary from one period to another in relation to changes in the level of sales.
 
Prepaid expenses and other current assets used $403,000 of cash during fiscal 2006 primarily due to an increase in interest receivable. Interest receivable increased primarily due to the timing of interest payments generated by our investments and higher yields on our investments.
 
Accounts payable increased and therefore provided $487,000 of cash in fiscal 2006 primarily due to a higher level of inventory purchases.
 
Accrued liabilities and accrued restructuring costs used $830,000 in cash in fiscal 2006 primarily due to payments of professional fees to comply with the regulatory requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and to explore strategic business opportunities.
 
Our investing activities used cash of $30.5 million in fiscal 2006. The net cash used in investing activities in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 was primarily due to purchases of investments of $123.3 million partially offset by sales and maturities of investments of $100.3 million resulting in use of cash of $23.0 million. We invested a significant amount of our excess cash to purchase short-term and long-term investments in fiscal 2006 in an effort to take advantage of higher yields and increase returns on our investments. The acquisition of property and equipment used $1.7 million of cash in fiscal 2006 and we used $5.9 million of cash to acquire F3 and the assets of Fibercom. We expect to use approximately $3.0 million for capital expenditures worldwide in fiscal 2007.


45


Table of Contents

Our financing activities provided cash of $2.8 million in fiscal 2006 primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of common stock in connection with the exercise of stock options and the employee stock purchase plan partially offset by $11,000 used for the repurchase of our common stock.
 
Fiscal 2005
 
Our operating activities provided $2.4 million of cash in fiscal 2005 as a result of our net loss for fiscal 2005 of $2.6 million adjusted by $9.5 million primarily for the non-cash charges of depreciation and amortization, amortization of the premium on investments, impairment of assets and stock compensation expense offset by usage of $4.5 million for net changes in assets and liabilities.
 
In fiscal 2005, the net change in assets and liabilities was primarily the result of changes in accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and accrued restructuring costs.
 
Accounts receivable provided $418,000 of cash primarily due to lower shipments during the last quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 compared to the last quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. Days sales outstanding in accounts receivable at the end of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 are 73 days and 71 days, respectively.
 
Inventories used $2.2 million of cash during fiscal 2005 primarily due to increased volumes of unit sales and associated purchases of inventory required to meet customer demand.
 
Accounts payable decreased $1.3 million in fiscal 2005 primarily due to the non-cash one time benefit of $1.6 million as the result of the resolution of vendor liabilities.
 
Accrued liabilities and accrued restructuring costs used $1.4 million in cash in fiscal 2005 primarily as we paid for obligations we had accrued at the time we incurred the restructuring charges. The payments were primarily for operating leases of excess facilities.
 
Our investing activities used cash of $30.5 million in fiscal 2005. The net cash used in investing activities in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 was primarily due to purchases of investments of $147.1 million partially offset by sales and maturities of investments of $123.5 million resulting in use of cash of $23.6 million. We invested a significant amount of our excess cash to purchase short-term and long-term investments in fiscal 2005 in an effort to take advantage of higher yields and increase returns on our investments. The acquisition of property and equipment used $6.6 million of cash in fiscal 2005 of which $4.8 million was for the purchase of a building in Fremont, California to house our U.S. operations.
 
Our financing activities provided cash of $1.2 million in fiscal 2005 primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $1.3 million in connection with the exercise of stock options and employee stock purchase plan, partially offset by repayment of capital lease obligations of $81,000.
 
Fiscal 2004
 
Our operating activities used cash of $545,000 in fiscal 2004 as a result of our net loss for fiscal 2004 of $6.4 million adjusted by $11.9 million primarily for the non-cash charges of depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense and acquired in-process research and development offset by usage of $6.0 million for net changes in assets and liabilities.
 
In fiscal 2004, the net changes in assets and liabilities were primarily the result of changes in accounts receivable, inventories and accrued liabilities and accrued restructuring costs. Accounts receivable used $2.8 million of cash primarily due to increased shipments during the fiscal year. Days sales outstanding in accounts receivable ended fiscal year 2004 at 71 days, as compared to 72 days at the end of fiscal 2003.
 
Inventories used $1.3 million of cash during fiscal 2004 primarily due to increased volumes of sales and associated purchases of inventory required to meet customer demand.
 
Accrued liabilities and accrued restructuring costs consumed $1.6 million in cash in fiscal 2004 primarily as we paid for obligations we had accrued at the time we incurred the restructuring charges. The payments were primarily for operating leases of excess facilities.

We invested a significant amount of our excess cash to purchase investments in fiscal 2004 in an effort to take advantage of higher yields and increase returns on our investments.
 
Our financing activities provided cash of $2.6 million in fiscal 2004 primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $4.0 million in connection with the exercise of stock options and employee stock purchase plan, partially offset by repayment of capital lease obligations of $1.5 million.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
On June 1, 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS No. 154”), which will require entities that make a voluntary change in accounting principle to apply that change retrospectively to prior periods’ financial statements, unless this would be impracticable. SFAS No. 154 supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” (“APB 20”), which previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in the current period’s net income the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 also makes a distinction between “retrospective application” of an accounting principle and the “restatement” of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error.
 
Under SFAS No. 154, if an entity changes its method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, non-financial assets, the change must be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate. Under APB 20, such a change would have been reported as a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 applies to accounting changes and error corrections that are made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We believe the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (“SFAS No. 155”). SFAS No. 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation; clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities;” requires evaluation of interests in securitized financial assets; clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and eliminates the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. At the present time, we do not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 155 will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for

fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In various areas, including revenue recognition and stock option accounting, accounting standards and practices continue to evolve. Additionally, the SEC and the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force continue to address revenue and stock option related accounting issues. We believe that we are in compliance with all of the rules and related guidance as they currently exist. However, any changes to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in these areas could impact our future accounting for its operations.
 
Item 7A.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
We are exposed to market risk related to fluctuations in interest rates and in foreign currency exchange rates:
 
Interest Rate Exposure
 
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing the income we receive from our investments without significantly increasing risk. Some of the securities that we invest in are subject to market risk. To minimize this risk, we maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents and investments in a variety of securities, including commercial paper, money market funds, government and non-government debt securities and corporate bonds.
 
As of June 30, 2006, all of our short-term investments were in high quality corporate bonds and government and non-government debt securities. At June 30, 2006, we invested $24.1 million in auction rate securities, which were classified as short-term investments. Auction rate securities have interest rate resets through a modified Dutch auction, at pre-determined short-term intervals, usually every 7, 28 or 35 days. They trade at par and are callable at par on any interest payment date at the option of the issuer. Interest paid during a given period is based upon the interest rate determined during the prior auction. Although these securities are issued and rated as long-term bonds, they are priced and traded as short-term instruments because of the liquidity provided through the interest rate reset. We can sell these auction rate securities at par and at our discretion at the interest rate reset date.
 
As of June 30, 2006, our long-term investments primarily consisted of corporate bonds and government debt securities with maturities of less than two years from June 30, 2006. We invest our excess cash in long-term investments to take advantage of higher yields generated by these investments. As of June 30, 2006, we had $1.1 million gross unrealized losses on our investments classified as held-to-maturity primarily due to changes in market interest rates. We have the intent and the ability to hold these investments for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a forecasted recovery of fair value up to (or beyond) the initial cost of the investments. We expect to realize the full value of all of these investments upon maturity. However, liquidating investments before maturity could have a material impact on our interest earnings. We do not hold any instruments for trading purposes. Declines in interest rates could have a material impact on interest earnings for our investment portfolio. The following table summarizes our current investment securities (in thousands, except percentages):

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Exposure
 
We operate in the United States, manufacture in China, and the substantial majority of our sales to date have been made in U.S. dollars. Certain expenses from our China operations are incurred in the Chinese Renminbi. As a result, currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the Chinese Renminbi could cause foreign currency transaction gains or losses that we would recognize in the period incurred. For example, a 10% fluctuation in the dollar at June 30, 2006 would have an immaterial impact on our net dollar position in outstanding trade payables and receivables.
 
In July 2005, China uncoupled Renminbi from the U.S. dollar and will let it float in a narrow band against a basket of foreign currencies. The move revalues Renminbi by 2.1% against the U.S. dollar. It is possible that the Chinese government could adopt a more flexible currency policy, which could result in more significant fluctuation of Chinese renminbi against the U.S. dollar. The Renminbi-U.S. dollar exchange rate could float, and the Renminbi could appreciate relative to the U.S. dollar. For example, if the Renminbi had been revaluated at the beginning of the fiscal 2005 at 8.11 Renminbi to the US dollar instead of the actual rate of 8.28, the impact on our reported results for fiscal 2005 would have been to increase net loss by approximately $75,000.
 
We expect our international revenues and expenses to continue to be denominated largely in U.S. dollars. We also believe that our China operations will likely expand in the future as our business continues to grow. As a result, we anticipate that we may experience increased exposure to the risks of fluctuating currencies and may choose to engage in currency hedging activities to reduce these risks. However, we cannot be certain that any such hedging activities will be effective, or available to us at commercially reasonable rates.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Joseph Y. Liu, and Chief Financial Officer, Bruce D. Horn, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered in this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
 
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable

Table of Contents

assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurances with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time.
 
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2006. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment using those criteria, our management concluded that, as of June 30, 2006, our internal control over financial reporting is effective.
 
Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2006, has been audited by Burr, Pilger & Mayer LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing below.
 
Changes in Internal Controls
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Oplink Communications, Inc.
 
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting included in Item 9A, that Oplink Communications, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
In our opinion, management’s assessment that Oplink Communications, Inc. and its subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, Oplink Communications, Inc. and its subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2006, based on the COSO criteria.
 
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Oplink Communications, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2006 and the related financial statement schedule as of and for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and our report dated September 14, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and the related financial statement schedule.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Oplink Communications, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Oplink Communications, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2006. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in Item 15(a)(2) as of and for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oplink Communications, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule as of and for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, when considered in relation to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
 
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Companys’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated September 14, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of, and the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.

NOTE 1 — THE COMPANY:
 
The Company
 
Oplink Communications, Inc. (“Oplink” or the “Company”) provides design, integration and optical manufacturing solutions (“OMS”) for optical networking components and subsystems that expand optical bandwidth, amplify optical signals, monitor and protect wavelength performance, redirect light signals, reshape light profile to enable extended signal reach and provide signal transmission and reception within an optical network. The Company’s product portfolio includes solutions for next-generation, all-optical dense and coarse wavelength division multiplexing (“DWDM” and “CWDM,” respectively), optical amplification, switching and routing, monitoring and conditioning, dispersion management and line transmission applications. As a photonic foundry, Oplink offers its customers expert OMS for the production and packaging of highly-integrated optical subsystems and turnkey solutions based upon a customer’s specific product design and specifications. The Company’s broad line of products and services is designed to increase the performance of optical networks and enable optical system manufacturers to provide flexible and scalable bandwidth to support the increase of data traffic on the Internet and other public and private networks. The Company offers advanced and cost-effective optical-electrical components and subsystem manufacturing through its facilities in Zhuhai and Shanghai, China. In addition, the Company maintains optical-centric front-end design, application, and customer service functions at its headquarters in Fremont, California. The Company’s customers include telecommunications, data communications and cable TV equipment manufacturers located around the globe.
 
The Company was incorporated in California in September 1995, began selling its products in 1996, established operations in Zhuhai, China in April 1999 and reincorporated in Delaware in September 2000. The Company is headquartered in Fremont, California and its primary manufacturing facility and component and subsystem research and development resources are in Zhuhai, China. The Company conducts its business within one business segment and has no organizational structure dictated by product, service lines, geography or customer type.
 
Risks and Uncertainties
 
The optical communications markets have recently experienced a slight improvement after experiencing a prolonged severe downturn, which resulted in a significant decline in the demand for the optical subsystems, integrated modules and components supplied by the Company and its competitors. Management believes the market will continue to show improvement but should the market deteriorate management believes it has the financial resources, and will take the necessary actions, to manage through such a downturn. However, a further prolonged downturn in the optical communications markets, failure by the Company to anticipate or respond to technological developments in its industry, changes in customer or supplier requirements or changes in regulatory requirements or industry standards, any significant delays in the development or introduction of products or the occurrence or non-occurrence of other events could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, operating results or cash flows.
 
Fiscal Year
 
On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted a fiscal year which ends on the Sunday closest to June 30. Interim fiscal quarters will end on the Sunday closest to each calendar quarter end. For presentation purposes, the Company will present each fiscal year as if it ended on June 30.

Reclassifications
 
Certain items previously reported in prior years’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported financial position, results of operations or accumulated deficit.
 
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
Basis of presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly- and majority- owned subsidiaries, Accumux Technologies, Inc., Cayman Oplink Communications, Inc., F3 Inc., King Galaxy International Limited, Shanghai Oplink Communications, Inc. (“Shanghai”), Taiwan Oplink Communications, Inc., Zhuhai Free Trade Zone Oplink Communications, Inc. (“Zhuhai FTZ”), Zhuhai Free Trade Zone Oplink Optical Communications, Inc. (“Zhuhai”) and Oplink Macau Commercial Services Company Limited. (“Macau”). With respect to Macau, the Company and Joseph Liu, the President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, each hold one share in Macau pursuant to which the Company holds a voting interest of ninety-eight and three-fourths percent (98.75%) and Joseph Liu holds the remaining one and one-fourth percent (1.25%) voting interest. The ownership interests of minority investors are recorded as minority interests. Minority interests are reflected in non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and interest and other income, net on the consolidated statements of operations. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company presents the financial information of its consolidated foreign operating subsidiaries in its consolidated financial statements utilizing accounts as of a date one month earlier than the accounts of its parent company, U.S. subsidiary and its non-operating non-U.S. subsidiaries, to ensure timely reporting of consolidated results.
 
On November 7, 2005, the Company announced a one-for-seven reverse split of the Company’s common stock. The effective date of the reverse stock split was November 9, 2005. All share, share equivalent and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.
 
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash equivalents consist of money market funds, debt instruments of the U.S. Treasury and commercial paper. Cash includes amounts restricted for letters of credit for purchases and deposits for equipment maintenance of $107,000 and $434,000 at June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
Investments
 
Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in marketable securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. The Company’s marketable securities may be classified as either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity securities represent those securities that the Company has both the intent and ability to hold to maturity and are carried at amortized cost. Interest on these securities, as well as amortization of discounts and premiums, is included in interest income. Available-for-sale securities represent those securities that do not meet the classification of held-to-maturity or trading

securities and are carried at fair value based upon quoted market prices of the securities. Unrealized gains and losses on these securities are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until realized. When available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities are sold, the cost of the securities is specifically identified and is used to determine the realized gain or loss. Securities classified as short-term have maturity dates of less than one year from the balance sheet date. Securities classified as long-term have maturity dates greater than one year from the balance sheet date.
 
Revenue recognition
 
The Company derives its revenue from the sale of fiber optic subsystems and components. Revenue from product sales is generally recognized upon shipment of the product or customer acceptance, which ever is later, provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and no significant obligations remain, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenue associated with contract-related cancellation payments from customers is recognized when a formal agreement is signed or a purchase order is issued by the customer covering such payments and the collectibility of the cancellation payments is determined to be reasonably assured. Sales to distributors do not include the right to return or exchange products or price protection. Provisions for returns and allowances are recorded at the time revenue is recognized based on the Company’s historical experience.
 
Foreign currency translations
 
The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. In consolidation, assets and liabilities are translated at year-end currency exchange rates and revenue and expense items are translated at average currency exchange rates prevailing during the period. Gains and losses from foreign currency translation and foreign currency transaction gains and losses from intercompany transactions and balances for which settlement is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future are accumulated as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations and are immaterial for all periods presented.
 
Fair value of financial instruments
 
The Company has determined that the amounts reported for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of their short maturities and/or variable interest rates. Short-term investments are reported at their fair market value based on quoted market prices.
 
Concentration of credit risk
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments and trade accounts receivable. Substantially all of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments primarily composed of investments in money market funds, commercial paper and government and non-government debt securities are maintained with three high quality financial institutions. The composition and maturities are regularly monitored by management. Such deposits are in excess of the amount of the insurance provided by the federal government on such deposits. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses on such deposits.
 
The Company’s accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers located in the United States, Europe, Asia and Canada. There are a limited number of customers accounting for the majority of purchases in the industry worldwide. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and currently requires no collateral from its customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the expected collection of its outstanding receivable balance.

The following table summarizes the revenues from customers in excess of 10% of total revenues:
 
                         
    Years Ended June 30,  
    2006     2005     2004  
 
Customer A
    21 %     16 %     *  
Customer B
    12 %     26 %     21 %
Customer C
    *       *       20 %
Customer D
    *       *       14 %
 
 
* Less than 10%.
 
At June 30, 2006, three customers accounted for 28%, 12% and 11% of total accounts receivable, respectively. At June 30, 2005, one customer accounted for 33% of total accounts receivable.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using standard cost, which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory is subject to rapid technological changes that could have an adverse affect on its realization in future periods. The Company regularly assesses the valuation of inventories and writes down those inventories which are obsolete or in excess of forecasted usage to their estimated realizable value. Estimates of realizable value are based upon the Company’s analyses and assumptions including, but not limited to, forecasted sales levels by product, expected product lifecycle, product development plans and future demand requirements. If market conditions are less favorable than the Company’s forecast or actual demand from customers is lower than the Company’s estimates, the Company may be required to record additional inventory write-downs. If demand is higher than expected, the Company may sell inventories that had previously been written down.
 
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
The Company’s accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers located in the United States, Europe, Asia and Canada. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and currently requires no collateral from its customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses in anticipation of the inability or unwillingness of customers to make required payments. When the Company becomes aware that a specific customer is unable to meet its financial obligations, such as the result of bankruptcy or deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position, the Company records a specific allowance equal to the amount due to reflect the level of credit risk in the customer’s outstanding receivable balance. If the condition or circumstances of the Company’s customers deteriorates, estimates of the recoverability of trade receivables could be materially affected and the Company may be required to record additional allowances. Alternatively, if the Company’s estimates are determined to be greater than the actual amounts necessary, the Company may reverse a portion of such allowance in future periods based on actual collection experience.
 
Property, plant and equipment
 
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based upon the useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives of 20 to 25 years are used for buildings and five years are used for manufacturing and engineering equipment. Estimated useful lives of three to five years are used for computer hardware and software. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method based upon the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the lease term of the respective assets. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Long-lived assets
 
The Company evaluates the recoverability of the net carrying value of its property, plant and equipment and its identifiable intangible assets, whenever certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable, by comparing the carrying values to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. A deficiency in these cash flows relative to the carrying amounts is an indication of the need for a write-down due to impairment. The impairment write-down would be the difference between the carrying amounts and the fair value of these assets. A loss on impairment would be recognized by a charge to earnings. The Company noted impairment indicators during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 that the carrying value of purchased intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisition of Accumx Technologies, Inc. and Gigabit Optics Corporation in fiscal 2004 may not be recoverable and performed an impairment review. As a result, an impairment charge of $322,000 was recorded based on the amounts by which the carrying amounts of these assets exceeded their fair value. Fair value of the intangible assets was determined based on discounted future cash flows.
 
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
 
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Intangible assets resulting from the acquisitions of entities accounted for using the purchase method of accounting are estimated by management based on the fair value of assets received. Identifiable intangible assets are comprised of technology, trade name and customer relationships. Identifiable intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging from three years to four years. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill is no longer subject to amortization. Rather, the Company evaluates goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
 
Income taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method, which recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts, and for net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.
 
Research and development costs
 
Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries including stock compensation expense and related personnel costs, depreciation, non-recurring engineering charges and prototype costs, patent filing costs and fees paid to consultants and outside service providers, all of which relate to the design, development, testing, pre-manufacturing and significant improvement of the Company’s products. Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.
 
Stock compensation
 
Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”). SFAS No. 123(R) establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. Accordingly, stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee requisite service period. All of the Company’s stock compensation is accounted for as an equity instrument. The Company previously applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations and provided the required pro forma disclosures of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”.

Prior to the Adoption of SFAS No. 123(R)
 
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company provided the disclosures required under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosures.” The Company recorded employee stock compensation for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 for options granted to employees with an exercise price less than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
 
The pro-forma information for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

The Company’s unearned stock compensation balance of $37,000 as of June 30, 2005, which was accounted for under APB 25, was reclassified into additional paid-in-capital upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). As of July 1, 2005, the Company had an unrecorded deferred stock compensation balance related to stock options of approximately $5.3 million before estimated forfeitures. In the Company’s pro forma disclosures prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company accounted for forfeitures upon occurrence. SFAS No. 123(R) requires

forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised if necessary in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based on the Company’s historical experience of option pre-vesting cancellations, the Company has assumed an annualized forfeiture rate of 12% for its options. Accordingly, as of July 1, 2005, the Company estimated that the stock compensation for the awards not expected to vest was approximately $1.2 million, and therefore, the unrecorded deferred stock compensation balance related to stock options was adjusted to approximately $4.1 million after estimated forfeitures.
 
During the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company granted 1,075,567 stock options with an estimated total grant-date fair value of $8,734,000. The Company estimated that the stock compensation for the awards granted in the year ended June 30, 2006 not expected to vest was $2.5 million. During the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded stock compensation related to stock options of $2,227,000.
 
As of June 30, 2006, the unrecorded deferred stock compensation balance related to stock options was $8.6 million and will be recognized over an estimated weighted average amortization period of 3.2 years. Approximately $8,000 of stock compensation was capitalized as inventory at June 30, 2006. The Company elected not to capitalize any stock compensation to inventory at July 1, 2005 when the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) were initially adopted.
 
Valuation Assumptions
 
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options and purchase rights under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan using a Black-Scholes valuation model, consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 and the Company’s prior period pro forma disclosures of net loss, including stock compensation (determined under a fair value method as prescribed by SFAS No. 123). The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the straight-line attribution approach with the following weighted-average assumptions:
 
                         
    Years Ended June 30,  
    2006     2005     2004  
 
Risk-free interest rate
    4.73 %     3.59 %     3.32 %
Expected term
    4.7 years       4.0 years       4.0 years  
Expected dividends
    0 %     0 %     0 %
Volatility
    47 %     54 %     70 %
 
The estimated fair value of purchase rights under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
 
                         
    Years Ended June 30,  
    2006     2005     2004  
 
Risk-free interest rate
    4.44 %     3.33 %     1.98 %
Expected term
    1.3 years       2.0 years       2.0 years  
Expected dividends
    0 %     0 %     0 %
Volatility
    45 %     52 %     70 %
 
The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. Expected volatility is based on the combination of historical volatility of the Company’s common stock and the common stock of four of the Company’s competitors, the downward trend in volatility over the last four years, the expected flattening of future volatility over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options and the purchase rights and other factors. The risk-free interest rates are taken from the Daily Federal Yield Curve Rates as of the grant dates as published by the Federal Reserve and represent the yields on actively traded Treasury securities for terms equal to the expected term of the options or the purchase rights. The expected term calculation for stock options is based on the observed historical option exercise behavior and

post-vesting forfeitures of options by the Company’s employees. The expected term assumption for purchase rights is based on the average exercise date for the four purchase periods in each 24-month offering period.
 
The weighted-average fair value of the options granted under the stock option plans was $8.12, $5.04 and $8.05 per share for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The weighted-average fair value of the purchase rights under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan was $4.70, $5.04 and $4.34 per share for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
 
Equity Incentive Program
 
In September 1995, the Board of Directors adopted the 1995 Stock Option Plan (the “1995 Plan”). In January 1998, the Board of Directors adopted the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the “1998 Plan”). The 1995 Plan and 1998 Plan provide for the issuance of incentive and nonqualified stock options to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. Under the 1995 Plan and 1998 Plan, options to purchase 857,142 and 4,828,571 shares of common stock, respectively, were authorized for grant. These plans were terminated in October 2000 with the adoption of the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2000 Plan”) in July 2000. The 2000 Plan provides for the grant of 2,857,142 stock awards to employees, directors and consultants. These stock awards include incentive stock options to employees, including officers and employee directors, nonstatutory stock options, stock bonuses and stock purchase rights to employees, directors and consultants. Options granted under the 2000 Plan must be granted with exercise prices not less than 100% and 85% for incentive and nonqualified stock options, respectively, of the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Options granted to stockholders who own greater than 10% of the Company’s outstanding stock must be issued with exercise prices not less than 110% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Options under the 2000 Plan generally become exercisable at a rate of 25% during the first year of the vesting period and then at a rate of 1/48 per month thereafter. Options will expire, if not exercised, upon the earlier of 10 years from the date of grant (five years if the option is granted to a 10% stockholder) or generally 90 days after termination as an employee of the Company. The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance will automatically be increased on each January 1, beginning on January 1, 2001, by the greater of the total number of shares of common stock for which stock options, stock bonuses and stock purchase rights were granted in the preceding calendar year, or 5.0% of the total outstanding common stock on that date on a fully diluted basis; provided, that the Board of Directors may designate a smaller number of shares by which the reserve will increase on a particular date. Shares of common stock, which are covered by a stock option grant under the 1995 and 1998 Plan without having been exercised will be added to the reserve of the 2000 Plan. Over the ten-year term of the 2000 Plan, no more than 7,142,857 shares may be reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options.
 
The 2000 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the automatic grant of nonstatutory stock options to purchase shares of common stock to its non-employee directors. Beginning in 2001, on the day after the Company’s annual stockholders’ meeting, any person who is then a non-employee director and who is elected at such annual meeting will automatically be granted an option to purchase 10,285 shares of common stock. These grants will vest on a monthly basis over a three-year period. Any non-employee director who is elected or appointed to the board during a three-year term will automatically be granted an option to purchase a pro rata portion of shares based on the number of months remaining in the term.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

 
As of June 30, 2005 and 2004, options to purchase 1,999,035 shares and 1,561,328 shares at weighted average exercise prices of $16.76 and $19.91 per share were vested and exercisable, respectively.
 
The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $18.31 as of June 30, 2006, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. The total number of in-the-money options exercisable as of June 30, 2006 was 1,592,923. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $1.1 million, $188,000, and $5.4 million, respectively. The total cash received from employees as a result of employee stock option exercises during the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $2.0 million, $263,000 and $3.2 million, respectively.
 
The Company settles employee stock option exercises with newly issued common shares.
 
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
 
The Company’s employee stock purchase plan authorizes the granting of stock purchase rights to eligible employees during an offering period not more than 27 months with exercise dates approximately every six months. Shares are purchased through employee payroll deductions at purchase prices equal to 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at either the first day of each offering period or the date of purchase. The compensation cost in connection with the purchase plan for the year ended June 30, 2006 was $445,000. 90,931, 145,053 and 143,586 shares were purchased under the employee stock purchase plan during the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
 
The number of shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan will be increased each January, beginning January 1, 2001, and ending January 1, 2010, by the greater of the total number of shares issued under the plan during the preceding calendar year or 1.5% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on that date. The Board of Directors has the authority to designate a smaller number of shares by which the authorized number of shares of common stock will be increased on that date. A maximum of 2,857,142 shares may be issued during the term of the Company’s employee stock purchase plan. At June 30, 2006, a total of 682,446 shares were reserved and available for issuance under this plan.
 
Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
 
SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 133”) requires companies to value derivative financial instruments, including those used for hedging foreign currency exposures, at current market value, with the impact of any change in market value charged against earnings in the corresponding period or as a component of comprehensive income (loss), depending on the type of hedging relationship that exists. The Company has not entered into any derivative financial instrument contracts.
 
Comprehensive income (loss)
 
Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The components of comprehensive income (loss) consist of foreign currency translation adjustments, foreign currency transaction gains and losses from intercompany transactions and balances for which settlement is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future and unrealized gains and losses on investments, net of taxes. Comprehensive income (loss) and the components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.
 
Net income (loss) per share
 
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS NO. 128”). Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, basic net income (loss) per share is computed by

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period, if dilutive. Potentially dilutive common equivalent shares are composed of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and purchases under the employee stock purchase plan. The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net income (loss) per share computations and the antidilutive common stock equivalents excluded from the computations for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share data):

Recently issued accounting standards
 
In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS No. 154”), which will require entities that make a voluntary change in accounting principle to apply that change retrospectively to prior periods’ financial statements, unless this would be impracticable. SFAS No. 154 supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” (“APB 20”), which previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in the current period’s net income the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 also makes a distinction between “retrospective application” of an accounting principle and the “restatement” of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error.
 
Under SFAS No. 154, if an entity changes its method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, non-financial assets, the change must be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate. Under APB 20, such a change would have been reported as a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 applies to accounting changes and error corrections that are made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (“SFAS No. 155”). SFAS No. 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation; clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133; requires evaluation of interests in securitized financial assets; clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and eliminates the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued


F-18

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

after fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. At the present time, the Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 155 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating whether the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In various areas, including revenue recognition and stock option accounting, accounting standards and practices continue to evolve. Additionally, the SEC and the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force continue to address revenue and stock option related accounting issues. The management of the Company believes it is in compliance with all of the rules and related guidance as they currently exist. However, any changes to generally accepted accounting principles in these areas could impact the Company’s future accounting for its operations.
 
NOTE 3 — SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS
 
The Company generally invests its excess cash in debt instruments of the U.S. Treasury, government agencies and corporations with strong credit ratings. Such investments are made in accordance with the Company’s investment policy, which establishes guidelines relative to diversification and maturities designed to maintain safety and liquidity. These guidelines are periodically reviewed and modified to take advantage of trends in yields and interest rates.
 
The Company invested $24.1 million and $55.9 million in auction rate securities at June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Auction rate securities are variable rate bonds tied to short-term interest rates with maturities on the face of the underlying securities in excess of 90 days. Auction rate securities have interest rate resets through a modified Dutch auction, at pre-determined short-term intervals, usually every 7, 28 or 35 days. They trade at par and are callable at par on any interest payment date at the option of the issuer. Interest paid during a given period is based upon the interest rate determined during the prior auction. Although these securities are issued and rated as long-term bonds, they are priced and traded as short-term instruments because of the liquidity provided through the interest rate reset. The Company recorded such securities as short-term investments based on the short-term nature and structure, the frequency with which the interest rate resets and the ability to sell auction rate securities at par and at the Company’s discretion with the intent of meeting the Company’s short-term working capital requirements. Investments in auction rate securities are classified as “available for sale” and are reported at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

 
There was no gross realized gain (loss) on sales of available-for-sale securities in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004. The unrealized losses are primarily due to changes in market interest rates. The Company has the intent and the ability to hold these securities for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a forecasted recovery of fair value up to (or beyond) the initial cost of the investment. The Company expects to realize the full value of all of these investments upon maturity. The following tables provide a breakdown of the Company’s available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities with unrealized losses as of June 30, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands):

NOTE 5 — ACQUISITIONS
 
Acquisitions in fiscal 2006
 
In November 2005, the Company acquired approximately 96% of the outstanding share capital of F3 Inc. (“F3”), a fabless semiconductor company based in the Science Based Industrial Park, Hsin-Chu, Taiwan that has developed an ASIC chip for the Company’s Shanghai operation’s networking software solution capability to address the Skype Voice over IP and IM market. The Company anticipates through this natural progression to be able to participate in an additional segment of the telecom market and hopes to thereby diversify its product offering and participate in a segment that has higher growth potential than the Company’s current telecom products. The purchase price was comprised of $4.6 million in cash and approximately $40,000 in transaction costs. The Company purchased the shares directly from the F3 shareholders. The outstanding shares that the Company did not purchase, constituting approximately 4% of F3’s outstanding share capital, will remain outstanding and will continue to be held by the F3 shareholders. The results of F3’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.
 
In January 2006, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to purchase fixed assets, inventories and certain intangible assets of Fibercom Optics Communication Corp. (“Fibercom”) for $2.0 million in cash and


F-24

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

approximately $16,000 in transaction costs. Fibercom is a passive component and connector manufacturer based in Taiwan. The Company paid $1.5 million in fiscal 2006 and the remaining $500,000 is subject to an escrow to secure the Company against Fibercom’s breach of representations and warranties.
 
The acquisitions of F3 and Fibercom were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets based on their estimated fair value as of the date of the completion of the acquisition. A summary of the acquisitions is as follows (in thousands):

The in-process research and development (“IP R&D”) in connection with the acquisition of F3 consisted of both the IC chipset and computer plug-in hardware/software solutions developed for Skype, Google-Talk and other similar web-based software that enable free or low-cost voice communication over the internet (“VoIP”) or instant messaging (“VoIM”) through the regular office and household corded or cordless call devices.
 
The value of the IP R&D products was determined by estimating the net cash flows from the sale of the products resulting from the completion of the respective research and development projects, reduced by the portion of the net cash flows from the revenue attributable to core technology. The resulting cash flows were then discounted back to their present value using a discount rate of 45%. At the time of the acquisition, these products had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use. The fair value assigned to the IP R&D in connection with the acquisition of F3 was $1,120,000 and was charged to expense at the time of the acquisition.
 
The developed technology acquired from F3, which was comprised of products that have reached technological feasibility, primarily is communication IC chipsets developed for various aspects of Ethernet applications in the first-mile of community area access networks. The developed technology acquired from Fibercom primarily is fusion coupler products, micro optics package and jumper interconnection products. The Company amortizes the developed technologies on a straight-line basis over an estimated life of four years.
 
The purchase price for F3 and Fibercom resulted in the recognition of goodwill. The primary factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill for the F3 acquisition included access to a workforce with technical

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

expertise, a deeper penetration of the Company’s customer base with a new portfolio of telecom products and access to F3 customers with the Company’s existing portfolio of telecom products. The primary factor contributing to the recognition of goodwill for the Fibercom acquisition was access to a workforce with technical expertise.
 
The following unaudited pro forma information presents a summary of the Company’s consolidated results of operations as if the F3 and Fibercom acquisitions had taken place at the beginning of each period presented (in thousands, except per share amounts):

These results are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the actual operating results that would have occurred if the Company and F3 and Fibercom had been a consolidated entity during the periods presented.
 
The Company allocated the purchase price of F3 and Fibercom to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The Company engaged independent third-party appraisal firms to assist in determining the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable.
 
Acquisitions in fiscal 2004
 
On November 3, 2003, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of RedClover Networks, Inc. (“RedClover”), an early-stage private company that designed and manufactured broadband optical interface products for access, storage, metro and long-haul networks. The purchase price was comprised of $250,000 in cash and $70,000 in transaction costs. In addition, the Company spent $1,135,000 in cash to settle liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition of RedClover. The Company paid $150,000 upon the closing of the acquisition and $67,000 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. The RedClover acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
 
On February 4, 2004, the Company acquired Accumux Technologies, Inc. (“Accumux”), an early-stage private company that developed a standard-tunable dispersion compensation module (“DCM”) for dense wavelength division multiplexing (“DWDM”) fiber optic communication systems.

The IP R&D in connection with the acquisition of RedClover consisted of a single channel transponder which is being designed to provide 10 gigabyte per second (“Gb/s”) ethernet physical transceiver layer for local area network applications, and a narrowly tunable transponder which is being designed to combine the functionality of a standard SFI-4 compliant electrical interface, 10 Gb/s optical interface, tunable laser, and adaptive receiver with embedded ultra-compact dispersion compensation in a single intelligent sub-system module for optical networks.
 
The IP R&D in connection with the acquisition of Accumux consisted of a standard-tunable DCM for DWDM fiber-optic communication systems, which will be installed into existing long haul networks to improve the performance of existing fiber cables and provide low residual transmission errors at speeds of up to 10 Gb/s.
 
The IP R&D in connection with the acquisition of Gigabit consisted of a next generation MicroMux which is a filter design coarse wavelength division multiplexing (“CWDM”) device and is designed to accommodate large increases in packet based data traffic, and a laser-equipped Micro-LX4 platform which has four CWDM laser diodes in a smaller footprint.
 
The value of the IP R&D was determined by estimating the net cash flows from the anticipated sale of the products resulting from the completion of the respective research and development projects, reduced by the portion of the net cash flows from the revenue attributable to core technology. The resulting cash flows were then discounted back to their present value using a discount rate ranging from 35% to 45%. At the time of the acquisitions, these products had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use. The fair value assigned to the IP R&D in connection with the acquisitions of RedClover, Accumux and Gigabit was $861,000, $251,000 and $453,000, respectively, and was charged to expense at the time of each respective acquisition.

The Company acquired developed technology from Gigabit, which was comprised of products that are technologically feasible, primarily including first generation micro-optical assemblies, MicroMux and PatchMux. The Company amortized the developed technology on a straight-line basis over an estimated life of three years.
 
The results of operations of the RedClover, Accumux and Gigabit acquisitions have been included in the results of the Company from the dates of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented as the effects of these acquisitions were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented.
 
The Company noted impairment indicators during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 that the carrying value of purchased intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisition of Accumux and Gigabit in fiscal 2004 may not be recoverable and performed an impairment review. As a result, an impairment charge of $322,000 was recorded based on the amounts by which the carrying amounts of these assets exceeded their fair value. Fair value of the intangible assets was determined based on discounted future cash flows.

Based on the available objective evidence at June 30, 2006, management believes that sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the realizability of the deferred tax assets such that a full valuation allowance has been recorded. Included in the June 30, 2006 valuation allowance is approximately $5.3 million related to stock options, which will be credited to stockholders’ equity when realized for tax purposes. The valuation allowance decreased by $5.9 million, $1.0 million and $6.2 million in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
 
At June 30, 2006, the Company had approximately $107.5 million of federal and $52.9 million of state net operating loss carryforwards. Because of certain changes in ownership of the Company in 1999 and 1998, there is a limitation of approximately $600,000 on the use of the net operating loss carryforwards prior to 1999 pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company may have additional limitations on the losses earned after 1999 under Section 382 that could further limit the future use of these losses.
 
The federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire through 2026 and the California net operating loss carryforwards will expire through 2016.
 
As of June 30, 2006, the Company also had research and development tax credit carryforwards for federal and California income tax return purposes of approximately $2.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively, available to reduce future income subject to income taxes. The Company also has California Manufacturing Credit

carryforwards of $1.4 million. The federal research and development tax credit carryforwards will expire through 2026. The California research and development credit carries forward indefinitely.
 
The Company’s China subsidiaries have been granted tax holidays beginning in 1999. Benefits under the holiday begin on the first year of profitability by a subsidiary and continues for two additional years, which thereafter the subsidiary is taxed at a reduced rate for the next three years.
 
NOTE 10 — STOCKHOLDER’S EQUITY
 
Authorized shares
 
The Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended, authorizes the Company to issue 400,000,000 shares of common stock.
 
The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which 4,000,000 shares have been designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and no shares were issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2006 and 2005. Preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is authorized to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to and imposed upon any wholly unissued series of preferred stock and to fix the number of shares of any series of preferred stock and the designation of any such series without any vote or action by the Company’s stockholders.
 
Purchase Rights Plan
 
On March 18, 2002, the Board of Directors of Oplink approved the adoption of a Share Purchase Rights Plan (the “Plan”). Terms of the Plan provide for a dividend distribution of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share of Oplink. The dividend was paid on April 3, 2002 (the “Record Date”) to the stockholders of record on that date. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from Oplink one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), at a price of $112.00 per one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment. The Rights will be exercisable only after public announcement that a person or group has become the beneficial owner of 15% or more of Oplink’s common stock (a “15% holder”) or 10 business days after a person or group commences a tender or exchange offer which would result in the offeror becoming a 15% holder.
 
If a person or group becomes a 15% holder, then each Right (other than Rights held by a 15% holder and certain related parties, which will be voided) will be adjusted so that upon exercise the holder will have the right to receive that number of shares of Oplink’s common stock having a value of twice the exercise price of the Right. In addition, if following the public announcement of the existence of a 15% holder Oplink is involved in certain business combination transactions, each Right (other than Rights which have previously been voided) will represent the right to purchase, at the exercise price, common stock of the acquiring entity having a value of twice the exercise price at the time. The Board of Directors will also have the right, after a person or group becomes a 15% holder, to cause each Right (other than Rights held by the 15% holder, which will be voided) to be exchanged for one share of Oplink’s common stock. The Board of Directors is entitled to redeem the Rights at $0.01 per Right at any time prior to the public announcement of the existence of a 15% holder.
 
Repurchase of Common Stock
 
On September 26, 2001, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to an aggregate of $21.2 million of the Company’s Common Stock. On September 19, 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase in the buyback plan to repurchase up to an aggregate of $40.0 million of the Company’s Common Stock. Such repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices, in negotiated transactions off the market or pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan adopted by the Company. The

Company adopted a 10b5-1 plan in August 2002, which allows the Company to repurchase its shares during a period in which the Company is in possession of material non-public information, provided the Company communicates share repurchase instructions to the broker at a time when the Company was not in possession of such material non-public information. The Company repurchased $11,000 worth of its common stock during fiscal 2006. As of June 30, 2006, repurchases of $35.2 million have been made under the repurchase program.
 
NOTE 11 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
Investor Rights Agreement
 
The Company has an agreement with the former holders of its preferred stock, including entities with which its directors are affiliated, that provides these stockholders certain rights relating to the registration of their shares of common stock issued upon conversion of the preferred stock. These rights survived the Company’s initial public offering and will terminate no later than eight years after the closing date.
 
Indemnification Agreements
 
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and officers. These indemnification agreements and its certificate of incorporation and bylaws require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
 
Loan to Officers
 
In August 2000, an executive officer borrowed from Oplink, pursuant to a full recourse promissory note, the principal amount of $400,000 at an annual interest rate of 6.5%. Originally, this promissory note provided that the outstanding principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest would be due and payable in two equal installments on August 16, 2002 and August 16, 2004. The promissory note also provided for the acceleration of its maturity date upon the termination of the executive officer’s employment with Oplink. The executive officer and Oplink subsequently amended the promissory note on March 18, 2002 to provide for the outstanding principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest to become due and payable in full on June 30, 2007. The note is recorded as a component of other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2006 and 2005, the outstanding balance was approximately $230,000.
 
In March 2001, an executive officer borrowed from Oplink, pursuant to a full recourse promissory note, the principal amount of $160,000 at an annual interest rate of 8.5%. The promissory note, which had a balance of $100,000 as of March 31, 2002, was amended and is now due and payable in four equal installments, one every six months from the date of new employment by the former executive officer. As of June 30, 2006 and 2005, the outstanding balance of the note receivable from this former executive officer including accrued interest was approximately $29,000 and $27,000, respectively, and is recorded as a component of other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
 
NOTE 12 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Purchase Obligations
 
Through the normal course of business, the Company purchases or places orders for the necessary materials of its products from various suppliers and the Company commits to purchase products where it would incur a penalty if the agreement was canceled. The Company estimates that its contractual obligations at June 30, 2006 was $5,957,000, of which $5,943,000 are due within the following twelve months. This amount does not include contractual obligations recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as current liabilities.

Litigation
 
In November 2001, the Company and certain of its officers and directors were named as defendants in a class action shareholder complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, now captioned In re Oplink Communications, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, Case No. 01-CV-9904. In the amended complaint, the plaintiffs allege that the Company, certain of the Company’s officers and directors and the underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) violated Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 based on allegations that the Company’s registration statement and prospectus failed to disclose material facts regarding the compensation to be received by, and the stock allocation practices of, the IPO underwriters. The complaint also contains a claim for violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on allegations that this omission constituted a deceit on investors. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and other relief. Similar complaints were filed by plaintiffs (the “Plaintiffs”) against hundreds of other public companies (the “Issuers”) that went public in the late 1990s and early 2000s (collectively, the “IPO Lawsuits”).
 
On August 8, 2001, the IPO Lawsuits were consolidated for pretrial purposes before United States Judge Shira Scheindlin of the Southern District of New York. On July 15, 2002, the Company joined in a global motion filed by all of the Issuers (among others) to dismiss the IPO Lawsuits. On October 9, 2002, the court entered an order dismissing the Company’s named officers and directors from the IPO Lawsuits without prejudice, pursuant to an agreement tolling the statute of limitations with respect to these officers and directors until September 30, 2003. On February 19, 2003, the court issued a decision denying the motion to dismiss the Section 11 claims against the Company and almost all of the Issuers, and granting the motion to dismiss the Section 10(b) claim against the Company without leave to amend.
 
In June 2003, the Issuers and Plaintiffs reached a tentative settlement agreement and entered into a memorandum of understanding, providing for, among other things, a dismissal with prejudice and full release of the Issuers and their officers and directors from all liability resulting from Plaintiffs’ claims, and the assignment to Plaintiffs of certain potential claims that the Issuers may have against the underwriters. In addition, the tentative settlement guarantees that, in the event that the Plaintiffs recover less than $1 billion in settlement or judgment against the underwriter defendants in the IPO Lawsuits, the Plaintiffs would be entitled to payment by each participating Issuer’s insurer of a pro rata share of any shortfall in the Plaintiff’s guaranteed recovery. In such event, the Company’s obligation would be limited to the amount remaining under the deductible of $1.0 million of the Company’s insurance policy. In September 2003, in connection with the tentative settlement, the Company’s officers and directors who had entered tolling agreements with the Plaintiffs (described above) agreed to extend those agreements so that they would not expire prior to any settlement being finalized. In June 2004, the Company executed a formal settlement agreement with the Plaintiffs. On February 15, 2005, the Court issued a decision certifying a class action for settlement purposes and granting preliminary approval of the settlement subject to


F-34

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

modification of certain bar orders contemplated by the settlement. On April 24, 2006, the Court held a hearing to consider whether the settlement should finally be approved, and took the matter of final approval under submission. In addition, the settlement is still subject to statutory notice requirements as well as final judicial approval. Pending final approval of the settlement, the Company continues to believe that the action against the Company is without merit and intends to defend against it vigorously. However, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company can not accurately predict the ultimate outcome of the litigation. Any unfavorable outcome of the litigation could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
On December 17, 2001, OZ Optics Limited, OZ Optics, Inc. and Bitmath, Inc. (collectively, “OZ”) sued four individuals and the Company in California Superior Court for the County of Alameda. One of the four individual defendants is the Company’s former Vice President of Product Line Management, who joined the Company on November 1, 2001 and whose employment with the Company terminated on December 17, 2002. The other three are unrelated to the Company. The complaint alleged trade secret misappropriation and related claims against the four individuals and the Company concerning OZ’s alleged polarization mode dispersion technology. The plaintiffs sought actual damages against the four individuals and the Company in the amounts of approximately $17,550,000 and $1,500,000, respectively, and enhanced damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorney fees, and other relief. The plaintiffs sought a temporary restraining order in December 2001, which the court denied, and withdrew their preliminary injunction motion against the Company. The Company answered the complaint on January 22, 2002, denying plaintiffs’ claims. In August 2004, the Company settled the lawsuit with respect to the claims against the Company and OZ agreed to dismiss the case against the Company with prejudice. To the Company’s knowledge OZ is continuing to pursue its lawsuit against all the defendants other than the Company, and the Company may be obligated to indemnify its former Vice President of Product Line Management for certain amounts in connection with her prior employment with the Company. In the event that the Company incurs such an obligation, the Company believes it has obtained sufficient director and officer liability insurance to cover this contingency.
 
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
NOTE 13 — SEGMENT REPORTING
 
The Company has determined that it has one reportable segment: fiber optic component and subsystem product sales. This segment consists of organizations located in the United States and China, which develop, manufacture, and/or market fiber optic networking components.

The Company made no matching contribution to the plan during the three years ended June 30, 2006.
